She came trough the leaf academy doors. Dressed in a loose white tank top, a blue mini-skirt, and a pair of dark blue sneakers. She had green flowing waist length hair. Maru Ikasuma. She was mysteriously limping, but that didn't stop the boys (including sasuke). The only one who didn't join in was gaara. He stayed shunted in the corner.
Maru spotted him immediately and knew that that was her target. Her one, her only (sorry if sounds weird, but it be true. Teehee!). She took the seat right behind him. Iruka resumed his speech.
"So, as I was saying, the gennin test is coming up next-" he broke off. Maru's hand was high in the air.
"Uh yes…" he paused as he realized that he didn't know her name.
"Maru. Maru Ikasuma. Uh, will I be able to compete in these 'gennin tests'?
"Well, do you fight?" he paused, and then said "if you are willing to risk some of your-"
"Yes, I am."

"Well, class, as you know today is the written test. We will all be participating, so don't get cocky." Iruka said. Pointedly fixing his gaze on naruto, who looked at his sandals.
She felt bad about what she was about to do. She started to sing an ancient jutsu to herself.
Suddenly, time started to slow down. As soon as she stopped, she skipped over to Iruka's desk and started to rummage trough his 'test' drawer (he labels them). She soon found the answers to the 'gennin test part 1' and used copy jutsu. She was just about to unfreeze time when she decided to copy the answers on gaara's paper.
When time started up again, gaara looked around in confusion at everyone. When his gaze got to Maru's, he smiled and winked one auburn eye.
The gennin match opponents were posted on the door of the classroom the next day. The match opponents were as following:
Gaara vs. Lee
Neji vs. Sakura
Shikamaru vs. kankaro
Shino vs. Naruto
And
Maru vs. Kiba
Maru looked over at Kiba and grinned stealthily.
"So that is the one with the super- sensitive ears, huh? This is going to be easier than I thought…"
(I am skipping all the way to the last round: Maru vs. Kiba)
Maru stepped foreword and Kiba stepped to face her.
"Start!" As soon as the word rolled off his tongue, kiba lunged at maru. But before he could lay a hand on her, she jumped out of the way, and landed smoothly on her feet across the ring.
Nobody expected what happened next. Maru threw back her head with her green hair flying, and SCREAMED.
"YAHHH!" Kiba screamed (to nobody's surprise) in pain. He clasped his hands over his ears, trying to block out the sound, but couldn't (of course). Kiba wobbled, shivered, and then fainted.
