NARUMI

Disclaimer: only saying this this time. I DON'T OWN NAARUTO BUT I OWN THE CONCEPT OF NARUMI!!!!

"YUMMY!"

Narumi slurped her ramen, savoring the taste of the salty noodles. Iruka watched with amusement as the blond devoured her food. Iruka sensei has never met a girl with an appetite as her. Suddenly, she slammed her bowl on the table, startling both the ramen shop's employees and Iruka sensei.

"Iruka-sensei, I have to ask you something of DIRE importance." She said, with a serious grin. "Wha-What is it Narumi?" Iruka asked slightly taken aback. "Well…CAN I PWEASE TRY ON YOUR HEADBAND! PRETTY PLEASE WITH RAMEN ON TOP?!" Narumi said. Her eyes dazzled with expectation and her hands were folded together. Her eyes were big and bright, anticipating his answer. "Oh this," Iruka asked, pointing to his headband. Narumi nodded her head quickly. "Sorry Narumi but this headband means more to me than a decoration," He said. Narumi's face fell but Iruka sensei continued. "It is a symbol to me of my commitment to being a Konoha ninja but I can tell you that you will probably get one to." Narumi immediately brightened up. "You really think so sensei?" Iruka nodded. "I believe you will be a great ninja." Narumi scratched her neck nervously and blushed a bit."Thanks... Iruka sensei, Thanks for the food and everything." She said walking off. Iruka smiled and waved back until he saw the bill…

"Narumi, what the heck am I going to do about you… "

The next day…

Narumi yawned and stretched. The sun shone brightly and birds tweeted happily. 'Today is the day,' Narumi thought, today is the day I past that stupid test and finally become a genin!' The thought made Narumi even more excited. She jumped out of her bed and ran to the bathroom. She was so excited she even tried to brush her short hair. Narumi, of course, did not succeed so she gave up and hopped to her kitchen and warmed up some ramen. As she waited for the ramen to me, she poured herself some milk. She saw that it was expired and sighed. 'Oh well, I'll just eat the ramen then.' She said to herself.

When the ramen finished, Narumi sat down and slurped her noodles happily. After she finished eating, she put on a baggy orange jacket with blue ninja pants and her same worn, blue ninja sandals. She grabbed the blue goggles and placed it on her forehead instead of a headband. 'Today is the last day I'm use you guys.' Narumi said to herself. She smiled happily and ran out the door.

Narumi was so happy that she even ignored the glares and the light shoves the villagers usually gave her. Normally, the villagers would glare at her with hateful feeling and maybe purposely shove her a little. Narumi would usually respond by giving the usually glares back at them but she was actually sort of pleased that they actually noticed she existed. Today though, Narumi was in a great mood and ignored all the nasty looks they were giving her. This, however, left the villagers thinking.

'Why was that monster so happy?'

Narumi entered the door that led to the Academy, full of confidence. She had entered just in time for the exams to begin. Iruka-sensei was already done explaining and had already called the first student: Akimichi Choji. Narumi slipped into her usual seat between Shino Aburame and Shikamaru Nara and waited as her fate was to be decided (A/N: LOL I sound like NEJI!).

A couple minutes had past and it was apparent that this would be one of those classes that everyone would pass. The test was pretty easy; just 3 Bunshins would have to be produced in order to pass. This was not the case for Narumi. Being the last in her class, Narumi was the best at nothing and the worst at most things, especially the Clone Jutsu. Narumi bit her lower lip as reality was seeping in. Suddenly, she heard Iruka sensei.

"Uzumaki Narumi"

Narumi slowly got up and walked toward the door to the exams. Even though her confidence was fading with every inch, she covered it with a phony grin. She opened the door to find Iruka-sensei, Mizuki-sensei, and an unrecognizable jounin sensei sitting at a fairly large maple oak table. Narumi readied herself for instructions.

"Narumi, please perform the Bushin no Jutsu." Iruka commanded. Narumi nodded her head yes and performed the jutsu.

"HAI!"

Narumi opened her eyes to see one clone lying passed out on the floor. Even though it was a clone, Narumi had to admit to the fact that it was a pathetic excuse for a clone. She smiled a nervous grin directed to Iruka- sensei. This did not prevent the disapproving tone in his voice. "Narumi, I'm sorry but you did not pass-" "Aww give her a break Iruka-san, it was a soild clone and she should get credit for that." Mizuki interjected. Narumi's grin almost reappeared but faded when Iruka spoke again. "Sorry, Mizuki but Narumi can't pass." He responded. He then turned to Narumi. "I'm sorry Narumi…" Narumi trudged out the door, thoroughly disappointed

School had ended and Narumi was sitting on her favorite swing under the willow tree. She pretended not to hear the soft murmurs of the passed genin but couldn't help but listen anyway.

"Hey, I can't believe she didn't pass."

"She is the class clown though , but I thought she would the sense to not screw this up"

"Yeah, she IS the only who failed."

"Too bad, I 'm glad I'm not her."

Narumi felt like crying at that moment. She had failed for the fourth time in a ROW! Iruka-sensei had believed in her but she had let him down.

"Don't be so hard on yourself, Naru-chan."

Narumi jumped at the sudden voice. She looked up to see Mizuki-sensei crouching on the fence next to her. "Mizuki-sensei-?"

"No time to talk kid, now listen to me and listen carefully 'cause I'm only gonna say this once. Inside the Hokage's scroll room is a forbidden scroll that contains a secret, ADVANCED technique that will get Iruka to give a reason to pass you." Narumi nodded intently and listened as Mizuki told of the scrolls secret powers. She then decided one thing:

She was gonna get that scroll.
