It appeared that this guy, Pain of Kiri, was actually the Grimm. As soon as he finished this portion of the test he would head to the Hokage's office to alert him to this if he wasn't already aware.
The fact that an S-Class Shinobi, even an elusive one like Grimm, had been able to enter Konoha undetected was very worrying. Heads were going to roll for this fuck up, Ibiki was certain of that.
...
(With Naruto)
Entering the examination room Naruto ignored Anko's baiting as he instead looked at the crop of genin.
As he surveyed the room his eyes lingered slightly on the forms of his sisters, Erza was glaring resolutely at him, her gaze stern and uncompromising, good she was just as strong and stubborn as he remembered her.
Upon meeting Mito's gave though he quickly saw the caution and slight fear her eyes held, his stomach twisted as he saw that emotion in his precious sibling's eyes.
At the same time though he wasn't surprised, he had made quite the first impression on Mito.
Looking away from Mito and Erza, Naruto instead glanced swiftly at Suigetsu, Hodan and Chojuro, making sure they hadn't fucked up and gotten kicked out at the first stage, because that would have been very annoying.
Seeing that they hadn't, Naruto then sort out Kabuto, the boy who knew too much, and had purposefully caused him trouble, the little shit who Naruto thought was a spy.
Seeing the silver haired boy, Naruto made sure to burn the boy's soul into his memory. It would help with tracking him down in the Forest of Death after all.
As he did this Naruto noticed that Kabuto held a smug little smile on his face, as if he knew he would be alright despite having pissed Naruto off. It appeared the boy vastly overestimated himself, or vastly underrated Naruto, either way he was in for a surprise.
"My name is Pain and I will be one of your proctors for the next stage of the exam." Naruto said softly as he looked away from the smug genin and instead surveyed the rest of the room, not missing the look Ibiki gave Anko as he did so.
The moment he decided to be relatively honest he knew the knowledge of his presence would reach the Hokage how could it not. Fortunately though it would not matter much in the end, sure they could try and keep tabs on him with ANBU but Naruto was confident enough in his skills to know he could slip any tail they might want to give him.
"Right then now we are all caught up and introduced, get up!" Anko said with a smirk that had many of the genin wondering if they wouldn't be better quitting now.
"I'll explain everything once we change places, let's go." she continued before she turned and walked out of the room, giving Ibiki a nod as she did so.
Watching her leave Naruto also turned to leave, giving Ibiki a nod of his own as he did so. Unlike Anko though, Naruto received a glare in return as Ibiki watched him leave, his eyes narrowed in suspicion.
Seeing their two proctors leaving the room, the group of remaining genin also got up and filed out of the room behind them.
...
(At the Forest of Death)
Naruto and Anko soon led the group of would be Chunin to where the next stage of the exam would be taking place.
Turning around Naruto could see that all the genin had already assembled into their teams, all of them looking ready for what was to come. Well almost all of them, he could still see Mito sending him the occasional look.
Looking away from the genin, Naruto instead inspected the massive, gloomy looking forest behind him, one that was fenced up, giving most of the genin who looked at it a distinct feeling of apprehension.
No doubt because the forest looked both dark and forbidding and had large metal fencing around it, fencing which had a number of 'no entry' and 'danger' signs visible on it.
"Welcome little genin to Training Ground 44, also known locally as 'The Forest of Death' and the stage for the second part of your Chunin Selection Exam! Very soon you'll be learning just why it's called that!" Anko said loudly as she spun on her heel and gave the genin a nasty grin.
Kiba Inuzuka, a short stocky youth, with spiky brown hair, a grey coat and red markings on his face snorted loudly at that, his canine companion Akamaru yipping in agreement as it sat at his feet.
"The Forest of Death! Really is that the best you can come up with!"
Anko scowled as the brat spoke up, the Inuzuka boy really knew how to spoil the mood she was trying to create.
Naruto however smiled faintly, not at what the boy had said though, because at the moment the boy was all bark and no bite. No instead Naruto smiled as he saw the reaction his comments had.
A number of the other waiting genin had turned to glare at the boy after hearing his comments. Kiba and his group had already made a scene when they were waiting for the first stage of the exam, treating the Chunin Exams like it was some kind of game.
For the genin who had had to take this test more than once, the rookie genin's casual arrogance and nonchalance must really rub them the wrong way. The boy was now just digging a hole for himself, no doubt a lot of these genin would be gunning for the rookie genin now.
Speaking of the rookie genin quite a few of them were looking a bit annoyed at Kiba, it appeared Naruto wasn't the only one to see that the boy's words of false confidence were not having the affect he probably expected.
Looking back to Anko, Naruto cocked an eyebrow as he saw that an eerie smile had begun to spread across her face, her eyes closed as she turned to Kiba before saying in a cheery voice, "Yeah... you're spirited."
Kiba flinched a bit when he saw that smile directed at him.
Before the boy could react Anko then tossed a kunai at him, her blade slicing through the air and leaving a long bloody cut on Kiba's cheek.
The Inuzuka's eyes were wide as he felt the sudden pain flaring from his cheek, before he could react though Anko had appeared behind him, her hand tightly clasping his shoulder as she whispered in the now petrified boy's ear.
"Kids like you end up dying first, hehehehe... spilling that red blood I so love." Anko whispered, her voice low and soft causing the boy to shiver.
Releasing her grip on the boy, Anko let him stumble forward, falling onto his hands and knees as he tried to scramble away from her as fast as he could.
The boy was so freaked out he was not even paying attention to where he was going as he ended up nearly crashing into Naruto. He was stopped however by Naruto placing a sandaled foot on his back, pinning him to the ground.
Eyes wide Kiba looked fearfully up at Naruto, his eyes widening as he met Naruto's own scarlet orbs.
"Stand up, shut up and stop being a little shit." Naruto said bluntly as he took a step back, allowing the boy to scramble to his feet and back away as fast as he could, retreating back to the safety of his team.
"'Stand up, shut up and stop being a little shit', that's the best you were able to come up with? Considering your whole ruthless and deadly rep I was expecting something a bit better." Anko said mockingly with a smirk.
