Two days passed and all Star had time to do was train with her teammate, Chihero.

"I'm really worried about the first test being today and all…I'm not a good fighter." Chihero frowned.

"We know." Shiori spat with venom oozing from every word.

Chihero looked down and started to cry. Star turned to Shiori and punched her on the head before turning back to Chihero. She started patting her head, "It's ok Chihero! We'll all do just fine!"

Chihero instantly smiled, "Thanks Star!"

Star nodded as her thoughts began to take her to Sasuke. She hadn't seen him since that night, but she was sure to see him today.

"Time to go." Shiori grimaced and she began walking towards the Konoha academy building.

Once they arrived, they started climbing the stairs. Once on the second floor, they saw a huge crowd of people starting to separate.

"What happened here I wonder?" Chihero questioned.

"Who knows who cares?" Shiori shrugged and kept climbing to the third floor.

Star rolled her eyes and followed, with Chihero clinging to her.

When they finally reached the door, they entered the room and went to the back to wait with everyone else. Everything was calm, until another team came in and stirred up a scene with the other rookie genin.

"How obnoxious." Shiori complained.

"You'd fit right in." Star snapped back.

"Look it's your boyfriend. Go play." Shiori glared.

"Ok." Star smirked as she walked over to the crowd of rookies.

"Oh guys, you're being really loud, you might want to chill out." Star suggested.

"I was just suggesting the same thing." A silver haired boy with glasses commented.

Star smirked, "Who are you?"

He smirked back, "I'm Kabuto. It's nice to meet you all."

Sasuke couldn't help but note the body language of the two ninja that just came on scene. It's as if they knew each other. More than that, they trusted each other. He walked next to Star and whispered in her ear, "Do you know him?"

Star just shook her head. She was trying not to let the girls see them talk, but Ino had seen the whole thing.

"Just who the hell are you?! Why are you all over Sasuke?!" Ino interrogated.

Before Star could answer, Kabuto pulled out a card and began to read from it, "Star Izaki. Genin. Her teammates are Chihero Izu and Shiori Tadame. She's been on thirteen D-rank missions, ten C, and one A and B. She's very advanced with Gen-jutsu. Her Tai and Nin-jutsu's are also very high."

Star smirked, "You know a lot."

"I got it off my ninja info cards. I have at least one thing on everyone here." He bragged.

"You might want to update your info, as of a few months ago, my Nin-jutsu got better than my Gen-jutsu."

"Well either way, your Gen- Jutsu is strong, what else would you expect from a true Uchiha?" he narrowed his eyes on her.

Everyone gasped then became quiet. Sasuke immediately sensed danger in that statement, "How did you know that?!"

"I told you, I know a lot." He shrugged.

Star just nodded. 'He must want me to feel free to use my sharingan here…' she thought.

"If you're an Uchiha…then that means you come from here…" Sakura half asked, half stated.

"You don't say?" Star glared.

Sakura backed up a few steps, very intimidated by Star's harsh blue eyes.

"Hey back off!" Naruto spoke up, hyper as always.

"And who are you?" Star glared.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki! Future fifth Hokage!" He smiled and showed his headband.

"Oh wow…you really are something kid." Star smirked.

Sasuke shot her a quick glare. Star took that as a back off sign. 'Didn't he literally complain about how much he hates his useless teammates?' She thought.

When she stopped thinking, she looked to the floor to see Kabuto explaining all the hidden villages. All she heard when she tuned in was, "The Sound village is small, kind of a mystery."

"Hey, you should quit babbling before you get in trou-…" Star was interrupted by one of the sound genin jumping at Kabuto to right hook him. Kabuto moved just in time to dodge the hit. However, once he smiled in victory, his glasses broke and he began to throw up on the ground.

"Hey I saw that, he didn't even hit him!" Sasuke exclaimed.

"Must have been closer than we thought." Shikamaru explained.

Star knelt beside him, "You alright Kabuto?"

"Yea, I think." He said slowly.

Star looked up at the sound ninja, he was covered in bandages, only one eye showed through. She stood up and pulled out a kunai, "If you want to fight, I'll gladly put you in your place you swine."

He smiled beneath his bandages and held up his arm, "I would love to crush you little girl."

Before either one could strike, the Procter appeared in the middle of the room, "Alright you baby-faced degenerates. Pipe down! No fighting unless you're told to! The first phase of the exam begins now! So let's go!"

Star put away her Kunai and joined her teammates.

Once they were in the room for the exam, they all picked numbers and sat in the appropriate seats. The Procter explained that it was a written test with ten questions. You start with a hundred, and lose ten points every question you get wrong. However, the tenth question would be given out towards the end of the exam. He made it very clear that you were not to cheat. If you were caught cheating, you lost ten points. So if you get caught ten times, you're out, and that means your teammates go with you.

Star realized right away that they wanted you to cheat, probably to test your skills at gathering Intel. If Star was good at anything, it was gathering information.

As soon as the test began, she activated her sharingan and looked for the person closest to her that appeared to know what they were doing. When she caught them, she copied the movements of their hands. She made sure her bangs covered her eyes, so no one would see they've turned red. She finished quickly and looked around. She saw Sasuke using her method. She couldn't help but smile, who knew they thought alike?

'I wonder how Chihero and Shiori are doing…how can I get this info to them?' she wondered.

She only knew one sure way, and it was risky, but if she concentrated hard enough, she could.

She closed her eyes and focused, when she opened her eyes, she had both Shiori and Chihero 'trapt' in a gen-jutsu.

"How the hell did you do that?" Shiori questioned.

"I've been practicing. Do you want the answers or not?" She questioned.

They both nodded and Star gave them all the info they needed. As soon as they were done, she broke the gen-jutsu and placed her head down to rest until the final question was given.

Time passed, and finally the Procter spoke up, "Ok, this question comes with new rules. If you get this question wrong, you automatically fail, and if you fail you and your teammates will never be allowed to take this test again."

"Wait so you're saying that-…" Temari spoke up.

He finished for her, "That whoever fails will be stuck a Genin forever. However, you can quit now and come back again next year if you'd rather not risk it."

He waited for hands to come in the air. Teams slowly gave up and exited the room. Star looked directly in front of her and saw Naruto shaking a few rows in front of her. 'This kid should just give up. Sasuke is probably fine, and Sakura seems smart, but that kid…he'll be their downfall.' She smirked to herself.

Naruto put his hand in the air and paused. For a moment, everyone assumed he was giving up. Before the Procter could have him and his team escorted out, Naruto slammed his hand down on the desk and stood up shouting, "If you think you're gonna scare me away, you're dead wrong! Believe it!"

Star's eyes widened, she was shocked that the kid had guts after all.

Everyone began to nod and speak words of encouragement. No hands went up in the air, it seemed all the quitters had gone.

The Procter shook his head and smiled, "Alright, if that's all, you pass."

Star looked up in shock, as many people did, but Naruto was the only one to speak, "Wait, what?!"

"This was a test to see how well you could gather information. Then at the end we wanted to weed out anyone who couldn't handle the pressure. I must say, I'm impressed at how many of you are still here."

Before he could finish his speech, a purple haired woman burst through the window and started speaking, "Alright you maggots! If you thought this was tough then-…"

"Anko." The Procter said.

"Yes?"

"You're early." He sighed.

"Hey there's a bunch of you, you were too easy on them Ibiki." Anko spoke up.

Star sighed and began to ignore the two Procter's in front of her. She looked over to Sasuke. He must have felt her eyes on him, because he turned to look at her. She gave him a thumbs and smiled. He returned the thumbs up, but for some reason, he wasn't returning her smile.

She gave him a questioning look and he mouthed 'later' to her.
