Unpredictability
Preamble
"Good morning class," proclaims Iruka Umino.
"I hope everyone got enough sleep last night because today may be one of the most important days of your young life. Each of you will be getting a single sheet of paper that has a basic security seal on it. You are to decipher this seal, and then follow the instructions on the paper. You have 10 minutes, or you fail."
Iruka then smiles encouragingly at his class of genin-hopefuls, "You are all more than ready for this. I believe in you, may the will of fire guide you."

"Hajime!"
Hokage Tower, Same Time
A man quietly works at a wood desk, the light of the new day shining behind him. He browses the paper in front of him and signs his name on the bottom, and then moves it on top of a pile of similar documents to the right. He glances up, piercing blue eyes stare at the door as a knock reverberates through the room.
"Enter!" The man responds.
The oak door creaks as a scarred man walks in.
"Hokage-sama, you summoned me?" asks the scarred man.
The Hokage nods and motions to a chair in front of him. The scarred man nods in thanks as he sits.
"Thank you for coming so quickly Shikaku. I'm sorry if it was a bad time, but I need your opinion on something."
The scarred leader of the Nara clan raises an eyebrow, and sighs, "Something tells me this is going to be incredibly troublesome."
Minato Namikaze, the fourth hokage, chuckles, "Hardly. I just wanted to run something by you. What do you think about this."
Minato grabs something from his desk and hands it to Shikaku. He then glances out the window as the man scans the document. His eyes just so happen to fall on the academy, and he smiles.
'Show the world, Naru.'

A inhuman roar vibrates the corridor as a masked nin body flickers back. The ninja only has seconds before the being that roared appears in front of them, and like clockwork the monster appears with a punch ready. The masked nin dodges with the grace of a dancer before bringing their fist right by the monster's neck. Thinking the ninja missed the monster is not ready to dodge as a katana seeming materializes in the ninja's hand; soon enough the monster is relieved of its head. Shaking the blood off, the katana dematerializes and the ninja resumes their mission.
Appearing in the center lab where the monster came from, the ninja stands next to three people wearing similar porcelain masks. Monsters just like the one in the corridor lay all around, some burnt, some electrocuted, some mutilated, but all dead. A man whimpers in a corner of the lab, he has dark blue hair with gray eyes. All of the ninja remain silent, even as the man begs for his life.
"Please. Please." The man cries.
He continues to beg for mercy; he thinks keeping him alive is a mercy, He is wrong. With a quick neck slap, the man is unconscious. The ninja lay him down on the ground as one of them begins drawing on a scroll. With quick movements, the masked nin from the fight in the corridor creates a sealing array and with naught but a hand sign the scientist's unconscious body is almost digitized as it is sealed into the scroll.
With that done, the ninjas all body flicker away.

"Oh, Naruto? Done already? Well, I can't say I'm surprised." Iruka smiles as he shakes Naruto's hand.
The exalted child of the Hokage smiles in return.
"Please proceed outside so Mizuki can test your taijutsu."
Naruto nods and walks out, his hands in his pockets. Soon enough, he'll be named rookie of the year. He just hopes his parents can make the ceremony.
