At the academy:
Arisu got to the academy and in her classroom in plenty of time. She sat in her normal seat in the middle of the room next to a boy with sand colored hair and dark eyes. He had his head down on the table before him.
"Morning Ryo," Arisu greeted him as she sat down.
He just huffed, keeping his head down.
Arisu just sighed. Ryo wasn't really talkative, but who really would with the parents he had; Temari and Shikamaru. He was just like his parents; really smart, thinking things through, and really hard to get along with unless you clicked just right with him.
Another boy sat next to Ryo's other side. "Morning Ryo." He had bright red hair and practically yellow eyes. He was the son of the weapon shop owners, so of course he was a master with weapons. Makoto was Ryo's best friend. He was related to Tenten somehow…but it was confusing how.
Arisu just shook her head at the duo, who had started into a conversation, and looked to her other classmates who were already in class. Only one person was missing: her best friend.
There was a group of three just a bit away. Yori and Ran were twins. Their dad was Choji, so his son Yori was built like he was and used similar jutsu. His hair was much tamer; however it was still the same color brown. Ran, who had short messy black hair, used genjutsu like her mother. The two of them were talking to Kain; he had messy black hair that was always going in whichever what way. He was a power hitter and focused his chakra into his fists to make a bigger hit.
There was a pair up in the corner, laughing away. They were both good at chakra control. Ayumu was the youngest son of Ino. He had blond hair like his mom, and even had it long enough to have a small ponytail at the base of his head. The girl he was chatting with was Kari. She had long brown hair that was pulled back in a half-ponytail.
A boy with black hair and red-brown eyes ran into the classroom and quickly sat down next to Arisu, huffing as if he ran the whole way. He was Kurenai and Asuma's youngest son.
"Morning Takashi," Arisu giggled.
They didn't get to talk, however, because the sensei came in then. "Morning class. You all know that you will graduate tomorrow, pending you can pass today's test. Tomorrow you will come and participate in the graduation ceremony, which is when you will get your leaf headbands. Then you will be put into 3-man teams and given a Jounin squad leader."
"Yes Ichiru-Sensei" the class said together. He looked very similar to Takashi, except had his dad's eyes. He was the first-born of Asuma and Kurenai.
Takashi rolled his eyes as he sighed. His older brother behaved in class when he was teaching but he was always full of himself when they were at home.
Arisu stifled a giggle at her friend. He always acted like this when his brother was talking.
"Ok," Ichiru broke out of lecture mode, "let's review a few different jutsu before the test. We'll be doing the testing in the next room. Once you hear your name called, please go across the hall and do as the proctors ask of you. Once you are done you are free to go home."
"That's not fair Ichiru-Sensei, the first person to take the test gets to go home a lot earlier than the last," Ran pointed out.
"That's the way the exam works," Ichiru explained.
"Let's just get this over with," Takashi sighed.
After practicing for two hours, the class was ready for the test. "First up will be Ayumu," Ichiru said.
He took a deep breath and stood up, "wish me luck." And he left the classroom.
Ichiru waited fifteen minutes before he called the next name, "Makoto." He continued to call names every fifteen minutes. "Ran. Yori. Kain. Ryo. Kari. Takashi." Soon enough only Arisu was left in the classroom.
"Why am I last Ichiru-Sensei?" she asked.
"You were put last because we can't show favoritism to the Hokage's daughter."
"So you make me go last?" she complained.
Ichiru chuckled, "just go take the test."
Arisu left the room and entered the one across the hall. Three people were sitting behind a table. In the middle was her dad; on his right was someone she recognized as her dad's old academy teacher, Iruka. On her dad's left side was one of his good friends, Shikamaru.
She walked to the middle of the room without a word. She knew that this was a test.
"Please show us your clone jutsu. Make two clones of yourself" Iruka said.
A big smile played across her face, matching her fathers. She did the hand signs quickly and a puff of smoke issued. Once the smoke cleared there was ten Arisu's standing before the judges.
"Pass, with flying colors," Naruto said happily.
Arisu's smile got bigger as her clones disappeared. She left the room without a word. Once she was clear from the door she ran out of the academy into the sunlight. It was early afternoon yet and she was free.
