"The chuunin exams are an important part of every ninja's life. These exams determine whether or not you shall become a ninja." An old man said to a class full of students.
One decided to call out, "Yeah ok. And they do that how? Don't you get left back or something if you fail them?"
The old man chuckled at the boys' ignorance. "You're half right Naruto. You can fail the exams and still become a ninja."
"How's that?" Naruto blurted out again.
"Naruto! Stop getting on the Hokage's nerves!" his pink haired companion shouted.
The Hokage burst out in laughter. "I can't imagine what your kids would be like Sakura."
Sakura screamed in disbelief and nearly passed out, her head hitting the desk with a loud thud. The students around her giggled and began whispering to each other.
"Now now settle down!" The Hokage waved his hands for silence. "There is one more thing for you all to hear."
All eyes were on him.
"We have some new students."
They all began looking around. The Hokage laughed again. "Outside in the courtyard."
Once out in the courtyard, nobody saw anything but a bunch of Sensei's. They were in deep conversation and didn't notice when the large group of students walked up, until the Hokage was kind enough to clear his throat. They all looked back and parted to reveal three kids, triplets, a girl and two boys. There was a wild look about them, and that guess became a theory by the spiked collar around the girl's neck.
"Wow," Kiba commented. "They sure look. . . human."
The three looked at him, then scanned the crowd until their eyes rested upon Shino. The girl nodded at him.
The Hokage looked back and forth between them. "I take it you're already acquainted then?"
Shino nodded.
"Aren't you going to introduce us then?" Choji asked.
Shino nodded and coughed. "That's Raven, and her brothers Sasuke and Dave." They nodded in turn.
The three of them all wore dark clothing. The only difference was Raven's baggy black sweater and her collar. Her black hair had red streaks running through them. Sasuke and Dave's hair was black too, but Sasuke had blue streaks and Dave's were green.
There was giggling behind him, and turned to see the few girls talking together in hushed voices, looking at the new students, then at Naruto who was staring blindly at Raven. Shino rolled his eyes behind his glasses as the knucklehead grinned sheepishly and began yapping away.
"So where did you say you came from?" he inquired.
"That remains to be seen," came her reply. The Hokage exchanged glances with the other adults. "And you are?"
"Name's Naruto Uzumaki," he stated proudly.
Raven raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Pleasure to meet you." Her accent was thick, the Hokage guessed she came from countries away.
Naruto grinned. He could hear the others laughing in the background and turned to see why. The girls were in a small group laughing loudly.
Shino sighed and shook his head, while Kakashi merely laughed and said, "Why don't you let them adjust to the village for now."
The blonde raised an eyebrow, shrugged and turned away. Raven was whispering something inaudible to her brothers, but kept glancing at the large crowd. From the movement of her lips it was clear she was speaking in a different language. Dave must have been getting on her nerves, for she elbowed him hard in the ribs. Sasuke laughed quietly, earning himself a death glare from his brother.
Rolling her eyes at their immaturity, Raven spoke up. "Uh, thank you for welcoming us to your village," she directed to the Hokage.
"My pleasure." His voice then grew serious. "But I must warn you, watch yourselves. The Sabers of the volcano have been acting quite ruthless lately. I wouldn't want you to get caught in their grasp."
The three's eyes widened, but they blinked and nodded anyways. The Hokage beckoned for the Sensei's to follow as he turned for the Academy. At first there was an awkward silence. The students shifted uncomfortably before Ino cleared her throat to break the silence.
"So," she laughed awkwardly, attempting to speak to the brothers, "are you all here for the Chuunin exams?"
The brothers paid her no heed. They pointedly ignored the Leaf ninja and whispered quietly amongst themselves, their sister crossing her arms and eyeing Ino from a distance. Ino turned to her, cheeks flushed and grinned. "S-so are you?"
Raven nodded. Ino rubbed the back of her neck and stepped back behind her team, muttering an excuse to pull them away. "Well we'll be going now. Nice meeting you Sasuuuke. Bye Daaave."
The brothers crinkled their noses and gave the kunoichi a weird look. They took a step back, muttered a few choice words to their sister and took off into the village, the kunoichi following them like lost puppies. Raven took one look at the boys in front of her, bowed, and took off into the village.
"Man, those three are really weird," Kiba snorted. No one said anything, and Akamaru barked in agreement.
