"Do you have information on individuals?" Sasuke asked.
Kabuto nodded and replied, "I have data on everybody, therefore I can uncover just about anything about a person in regards to their shinobi history. Is there someone you are looking for?"
"Yes, give me whatever information you have on Rock Lee from Konoha, Gaara from Suna, and Uzumaki Naruto from Konoha," Sasuke said, desiring to know just about everything he could about those opponents. Everyone but Naruto stared at Sasuke.
"You know their names? That makes it easier," said Kabuto as he took out a card from the deck and spun it around on the ground with his chakra.
This ought to be interesting, thought Neji, hoping that he could find out more about Naruto and then use it against him later in some way or another.
"First up is Rock Lee," Kabuto started. "He is one year older than you. His mission history is 20 D-ranks and 11 C-ranks. He has no talent for either ninjutsu or genjutsu, however his taijutsu has developed extremely this last year. He was praised by his sensei as a skilled Genin, and this is his first time taking this exam. His teammates are Tenten and Hyuuga Neji. His Jounin sensei is Maito Gai."
Sasuke nodded as Kabuto took out the next card and explained, "Next we have Gaara. He's a year older than you too, and he carries a large gourd on his back everywhere he goes. His mission history is 0 D-ranks, 9 C-ranks, 8 B-ranks, and 14 A-ranks. There's no documented data about his skills in any form of combat but according to what's known, in his missions Gaara has never been hit once. His teammates are Temari and Kankuro, and their Jounin-sensei is Baki."
This next one better be Naruto's, thought Neji, as he was becoming slightly impatient.
This Kabuto fellow is trouble, Naruto thought calmly.
"And last, but not least we have one Uzumaki Naruto," said Kabuto as he spun the card and lifted it up to read the information. Sasuke and Neji both waited for Kabuto to speak and give them as much information on Naruto as he could.
"Hmm," Kabuto muttered while scratching the back of his head, "His academic background and ninja history don't add up."
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked.
Kabuto explained, "Naruto graduated from your class as the dead last, having done poorly in every subject covered in your class. He has no talent in genjutsu, however his uncanny and unexplainable skills in kenjutsu is high to elite Jounin-level, and it's said to match, if not rival, that of the Seven Swordsmen of Kirigakure. His mission experience is 10 D-rank missions and one C-rank turned A-rank mission, in which he singlehandedly slaughtered and butchered over one hundred rogue samurai and mercenaries in a span of a few seconds using Zabuza's sword before feeding their leader to sharks. His ninjutsu skills are B to A-class though rumor has it that he's adept in wind manipulation. At age 9, he was highly admired and praised by many older and veteran kunoichi of Konoha for having defeated the Hokage, all of the other male ninja in the area, and all the males of his class, including the Rookie of the Year, at the same time with a jutsu he himself created years before becoming a Genin. His teammates are you and Haruno Sakura and his Jounin-sensei is Hatake Kakashi."
Everyone looked at Naruto questionably on hearing everything Kabuto said. Hearing that Naruto took out and defeated the Hokage and his men at such a young age through his original jutsu was news to the Suna-nin. They saw him as more of a dangerous threat than before, while Gaara saw him as more of a grand prize worthy of feeding to his mother. The other foreign Genin looking over at Naruto, wondered how someone that dresses so stupidly in a flashing orange jumpsuit that screams "I'm an easy target to kill" could have such a dangerous record. Naruto, though, remained neutral and calm, as if unaffected by what Kabuto said of him.
"I wonder what that jutsu was," a female Kusa Genin with glasses and red hair said to her teammates in the background. "It must have been a very powerful jutsu if it effectively defeated the current Hokage and every ninja that was with him all at once."
"If this Naruto is as powerful as that Kabuto guy says he is, it would be wise to avoid and not cross him," a male Kusa Genin said. The red haired Kusa Genin and her other teammate nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, three Kiri Genin in the background eyed Naruto carefully.
"So that's the famous Uzumaki Naruto," the first male Kiri Genin remarked. "The one they named the bridge in Nami no Kuni after."
"That's same the one," the only female Kiri Genin of the group said. "Pretty hard to believe, considering his unusual choice of clothes."
"Never mind that," the lead Kiri Genin with light blue hair and square glasses said, "Remember, we're only taking part of the Chuunin Exams to complete our secret mission, and we can't afford to fail. But we have to make sure make that no one else is around when it's time to encounter Naruto. Understand?"
The three Kiri Genin nodded.
"Are you making all of that crap up, Kabuto?" an Ame-nin asked skeptically. "How could the dead last of Konoha that failed at everything in the ninja academy accomplish such feats worthy of a high S-class ninja? I doubt even the current and previous Rookie of the Year of Konoha possess such caliber!"
Neji and Sasuke scowled hatefully at the Ame-nin.
"My information is based on solid facts not speculations," Kabuto said as he adjusted his glasses, "What I have is all I currently know of Naruto."
Anyone who takes the Chuunin Exams seven times straight isn't doing so for the enjoyment of it. I'm just happy that he and everyone else is oblivious to my in-depth expertise in fūinjutsu, Naruto thought as he cautiously eyed the believed spy in their midst.
Naruto actually fed the bad guys' leader to sharks? Tenten wondered.
"Kabuto-san, you've just proven that geniuses aren't born, they're developed! In spite of being the dead last, Naruto-kun, through dedication to hard work and unyielding perseverance, is reaping the fruits of his blazing youth! I will work even harder to reach the youthfulness Naruto-kun is basking in!" a starry-eyed Lee praised enthusiastically.
"Such foolishness," Neji mumbled. Naruto was suddenly aware of someone heading towards them at a high speed. He also felt that whatever it was wasn't headed for him, but Kabuto. Three Genin from Otogakure rushed at Kabuto. One of them, a man covered in bandages with something furry on his back, took a swing at Kabuto, who dodged. But after the punch passed, Kabuto fell down, his glasses broken, and he vomited.
What the hell was that sound? Naruto thought, rubbing his now hurting ears. Just then an explosion erupted in the front of the classroom, and a lot of Chuunin stood there. In front of all of the Chuunin, a tall man wearing a black trench coat stood. His face was set in a firm frown, with a single scar running down the left side of his face.
"SHUT UP! Damn brats!" the tall man shouted. "I'm Morino Ibiki, and I will be the head proctor for the first exam."
Ibiki emitted a bit of bloodlust that made several Genin gulp. Ibiki then pointed at the three from Oto.
"You three! No more trouble, or I'll throw you out myself!" Ibiki barked. The one who had taken a swing at Kabuto mumbled an apology and a lame excuse.
