~the gen-nin exams~

The next day woke up later than usual and had to shunshin to the academy to make it on time and as a result Sesshoumaru stayed behind. This wasn't to her liking at all, but then there was a sudden impact as if somebody bumped into her, but there was no one in sight. With a sudden sense of dread coming over her, she glanced down at her stomach and saw the seal glowing. She had a bad feeling about it.

- no shit, Sherlock! Look what you've done!

- Huh? Sesshoumaru? Where are you?

- Exactly where are I was to begin with, in your mind.

- But how?

- Apparently we were too far apart. Now I won't be able to get out unless you summon me.

- Well then…

- No. You have an exam in a few minutes, besides when you summon me, I'll be in my true form… the tailed one.

- Oh…

Cursing her bad luck Kiri walked into the classroom. There were quite a lot of kids there, everyone her age. She wondered how many would be able to pass. An empty seat was easily found next to a black haired boy with a fan on the back of his t-shirt. Remembering what Sesshoumaru told her about clans and their recognition signs, she came to the conclusion that the boy was the sole survivor of the Uchiha massacre, Uchiha Sasuke. As soon as Kiri sat down next to him, she felt a big amount of killer intent. She glanced around and found that every female in the room was glaring at her. Still she was not the one to be easily intimidated and therefore she unleashed her own killing intent that made everyone freeze up.

Haruno Sakura was not used to being a loser, yet when she felt the killer intent from the strange girl, she knew it would be safer to keep away, even though she was beside Sasuke, who was even more affected by the feeling of dread and that was somewhat strange. Sakura wondered why that was.

Inuzuka Kiba, the always brash and loud kid glanced at his partner dog, Akamaru and saw that the pup was acting strangely. It basically hid under his coat and whimpered. It seemed as if he was afraid of the new girl and then he felt it. The massive amount of killer intent, though thankfully not aimed at him. He glanced at the silver haired girl and found that she was sitting next to the Uchiha, who was strangely pale and shivering, a very unusual thing to witness. And then it ended just as suddenly as it began and the girl moved to sit at the front of the classroom.

Uchiha Sasuke at first thought that the new girl was another fan girl of his, he saw the others glaring at her and smirked, he wondered how long she would be able to remain unaffected by the killer intent. And then he felt it. As if a the building collapsed on top of him, the feeling of unavoidable and very painful death. He couldn't help but recall Itachi and he suddenly realized that this killer intent coming from a girl of his age was more than he ever felt in his life, not Itachi's Tsukiyomi stood a chance compared to this. And then all of a sudden it was gone, as if it was never there to begin with. The girl also moved away from him.

Umino Iruka walked into the classroom and was pretty surprised by the dead silence there. Everyone was silent and serious. And then there was the new girl, Namikaze Kiri, the daughter of the yondaime hokage. She had sky blue eyes of the Namikaze clan and long silky silver hair. To mistake her for somebody else was impossible. Yet he was puzzled by the blue moon on her forehead and purple stripes on her face. There were two of them on each cheek, they reminded him of Naruto's whisker marks.

- Ok, kids. Today you'll have your gen-nin exam. It consists of three parts. A written test, kunai throwing and bunshin no jutsu. Mizuki-sensei will give you the tests. You can start at once.

Kiri waited for the chu-nin to give the test and then noticed that her cousin, Naruto, was for some reason without a test.

- Mizuki-sensei. You forgot to give Naruto the test.

The man slowly turned around and glared at her.

- What?

- Naruto, you know, Uzumaki Naruto.

- It wasn't because I forgot.

- For whatever reason I suggest you give it to him.

- That demon…

Iruka grit his teeth, stalked up to Mizuki took the test and handed it to the boy with an apologetic smile. Naruto sighed in relief. He had no idea who the girl was, but she really saved him there.

Kiri stared at the questions in front of her. Most of them were pretty easy, but there were a few difficult ones and she refused to have anything but a perfect score. Therefore she used her Matengan to see if anyone had the correct answers and indeed, one of Sasuke's fan girls, Haruno Sakura, was already finished. Thus Kiri simply copied the answers off of her.

Kunai throwing was even easier, since accuracy was something that she's always had. When it came to making clones, she made two normal bunshin and two kage bunshin. Thus passing with a perfect score.
