Devil May Cry : The Swords of Sparda
Mission Three - Breakfast and Tests
-THUD!!-
Naruto slowly awoke from his sleep, he slowly inched his eyes open to get used to the light of the rising sun.
-THUD!!-
Suddenly the tree he had been sleeping in suddenly shook as if something had collided with it.
-THUD!!-
This time the tree shook too violently for Naruto to keep his balance, in his half asleep stupor he fell backwards and out of the tree.
"Waa!" Naruto yelled just before he landed on top of something else, somebody else.
"Ouch!!" the person under Naruto yelled and Naruto landed on him.
After a few minutes Naruto managed to stand up and look down at the person he had landed on, it was a boy wearing a green spandex, he had a bowl cut hair and huge fuzzy eyebrows, judging by the forehead protector wrapped around his waist he was a Konoha shinobi. He seemed kinda familiar.
"Ooh, what happened?" the boy asked in a daze.
"Heh, sorry, I think I fell out of the tree and landed on you" Naruto said in embarrassment as he scratched the back of his head nervously. Naruto turned and looked at the trunk of the tree he had fallen out of, it was covered in dents and broken bark, Naruto quickly figured out what happened.
'All the trees in Konoha and I had to sleep in one that was being used for Taijutsu training' Naruto thought to himself with a sweat drop.
"Lee, what happened?" a voice called from the other end of the training area
Naruto turned and saw tree others walking towards them, the one who had spoken looked creepily like the boy he had landed on, green spandex, bowl cut, huge fuzzy eyebrows, Konoha forehead protector around his waist… the only two differences between the two shinobi was the presence of a Jounin jacket and an obvious age difference. Naruto quickly recognized him as Might Gai whom he had met the day before.
Walking behind him were two younger shinobi, one had long black hair wore a white top with black shorts and had pure white eyes, an obvious Hyuuga.
The last one wore a blue top and white shorts, he had semi-short black hair and a bored expression on his face.
"Gai-sensei!" Lee shouted as he quickly stood up.
"I was training when this youthful man fell out of a tree… I believe I disturbed his sleep…" Lee said in an unnecessarily loud voice before turning to Naruto, "I apologize, as punishment I shall complete 200 handstand pushups, and if I am unable to complete them then I shall complete 50 laps around Konoha on my hands, and if I cannot complete them then I…" as Lee went on and on Naruto noticed that Gai was crying with tears of joy.
"Lee… YOU ARE FILLED WITH THE FIRES OF YOUTH!! I SHALL JOIN YOU ON YOUR MISSION OF FORGIVENESS!!" Gai screamed to the heavens with tears in his eyes. Lee saw that and also began crying, a few moments later the identical men were hugging and crying.
"GAI-SENSEI!!"
"LEE!!"
"GAI-SENSEI!!"
"LEE!!"
"GAI-SENSEI!!"
"LEE!!"
"Wh-What are they doing?" Naruto asked the two 'Normal' shinobi with them whom both looked too embarrassed a the scene to even look a them.
"They… do this all the time…" the Hyuuga answered.
After a few moments the two men separated and wiped away their tears. Gai took a look at Naruto and realized who he was.
"Ah, Naruto-san, it is good to see you again on this youthful morning" Gai said as he flashed his 'Good-Guy' pose.
Naruto smiled awkwardly before bowing slightly.
"Good morning Gai-sensei" Naruto said respectfully.
"Naruto-san, I wound like to introduce you to my team, this is Rock Lee" Gai said as he indicated his 'Clone'.
"Nice to meet you Naruto-san" Lee said with his own version of Gai's good-guy pose.
"This is Hyuuga Neji" Gai said indicating the White eyed boy who bowed in greeting.
"… and this is Uchiha Sasuke" Gai said indicating the boy with the blue top who simply grunted in response.
"Team, this youthful young man is Uzumaki Naruto, he will soon be joining the ranks of us ninja" Gai said as he slapped Naruto on the back hard.
"Umm, hi?" Naruto said with a grin.
While Lee went about greeting Naruto, both Neji and Sasuke were pondering the same thing.
"But, you are older than us aren't you? Shouldn't you have already become a Shinobi?" Neji asked curiously.
As Neji asked this Naruto's breath caught in his throat.
'Oh crap…' Naruto though to himself. 'It's too soon for them to find out'
Gai meanwhile was looking at Naruto in wonder, there was so much excitement the day before that he didn't notice, and obviously nobody else did, but now seeing Naruto standing next to his team he was able to compare their looks.
'He was six when he disappeared, and it has been six years so that should make him twelve… but he looks older then that, he should be the same age as Sasuke and yet he looks older than Neji and Lee even though they are a year older than him…Naruto looked to be in his mid teens at least'
"… Naruto…"Gai was about to ask something but was interrupted by Naruto.
"Oh gee, look at the time, I should really be going or else I'll be late for the Genin exam, bye" Naruto blurted everything out quickly whilst looking at a watch that wasn't there, after he finished he quickly turned around and started running towards the village.
Gai was suspicious of Naruto's behavior but decided to let it go for now, but when he next saw Naruto he would have a talk with him.
'That was too close…' Naruto sighed as he entered the main village area. '… but I got up too soon, it's still three hours until the exam… well I am kinda hungry' Naruto though with a smile as he started to look for a restaurant for some breakfast.
DMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMC
Meanwhile, not too far down the street in an apartment above a weapon shop a young woman was getting ready for something important, she had woken up early to make sure that she wouldn't miss it. She finished dressing in her pink Chinese clothes and pulling her hair into two buns behind her head, she then double checked the scrolls containing her many weapons were secure.
"Ok, ready" the girl muttered to herself before turning away from the mirror and exiting the room. 'Now I'll get some breakfast and head straight to the Academy' she thought as she made her way downstairs.
"Ah, Tenten-chan… are you heading out already? I thought the exam doesn't start for almost another three hours" Tenten's mother asked from her position behind the shop's counter.
"Yeah Mom, but I'm gonna head out early and get some breakfast" Tenten answered.
"Ok honey, good luck with the exam" Tenten's mother said with a smile
'I screwed up last time, it won't happen again' Tenten thought as she left the shop.
This was the second time Tenten was going to be taking the Genin exam, last year thank to an incident she had failed.
Tenten's family shop was on the main street of Konoha so she didn't need to walk far to find a restaurant. She walked in and took a quick look around, the place was almost full, the only free seat was in a booth opposite a blond boy wearing a red coat who seemed to be looking at a menu. Usually Tenten would just look for somewhere else to eat, but she was hungry.
"Umm, mind if I join you? There's nowhere else to sit" Tenten asked the boy in red awkwardly
The boy lowered the menu to look at who had spoken and Tenten took in what he looked like, he looked slightly older than her, he had blond spiky hair, bright blue eyes and three thin mark on each cheek, as he lowered the menu Tenten also noticed that his right arm was in a metal sling across his chest.
"Yes of course, I don't mind at all" he said with a smile.
For some reason Tenten found herself blushing when he smiled at her.
"T-Thanks" Tenten said as she took a seat opposite him.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and you are?" Naruto asked.
"Tenten, nice to meet you" Tenten answered as she picked up a menu.
Meanwhile across the restaurant sitting alone at a small table was Mitarashi Anko with a plate of 10 sticks of Dango, she watched as Tenten sat across from Naruto and smiled.
'Heh, only in Konoha for a day and already has a date, not bad kid' Anko thought to herself as eh pulled another Dango from her stick and plopped it into her mouth. Kurenai had told Anko the night before about Naruto being on her team if he passed.
After a few minutes of silence a waiter approached the booth.
"Can I take your orders?" the waiter asked with a kind tone.
"Yes…" Tenten started "… I'll have a stick of Dango and a Pork Butaman please"
"… and for you sir?" the waiter asked as he turned to Naruto.
"Hmm, do you have Pizza here?" Naruto asked from behind his menu.
"Pizza?" the waiter looked confused "… I'm sorry but I don't even know what that is"
Naruto sulked for a moment.
"Oh well…" Naruto said as he put his menu down. "Then I'll have a stick of Dango and two bowls of rice" Naruto said with a smile.
The waiter however didn't respond, the very moment Naruto had placed his menu down the waiter had been in shock.
"Y-Y-You!" the waiter muttered.
'Oh boy, here we go… well it was only a matter of time' Naruto thought in annoyance.
"You…" this time the waiter spoke thought clenched teeth. "… why are you back here? I heard you were dead…"
"You obviously heard wrong…" Naruto said calmly "… now if you don't mind, I'm rather hungry so you would just…"
"NO…" the waiter interrupted, "… we don't serve your kind here you d…"
The waiter couldn't finish before Naruto interrupted him.
"Before you finish that sentence I think I should remind you that the law concerning my… condition, is still in effect… as is the punishment for breaking that law"
The waiter visibly paled, the punishment for mentioning the demon or attacking Naruto was well known among the older population… Death.
"Now, both me and my friend here have made our orders… could you also bring a pitcher of water, thank you" Naruto said with a slight smile.
The waiter hesitated for a moment before turning to walk to the kitchen.
Anko had seen what had happened and smiled, the waiter had almost completely lost control of his bladder when Naruto spoke to him like that.
"What was that all about?" Tenten asked curiously.
"… I can't tell you exactly… what I can tell you is that the waiter almost made a mistake that would have cost him his life"
Naruto decided to change the subject before his new friend probed even more, Naruto quickly spotted a few scrolls in a pouch strapped into her arm.
"Hmm, you're a Kunoichi?" Naruto asked.
"No.. not yet at least, I'm taking my Genin exam again today" Tenten answered.
"Oh, what a coincidence, I'm taking it too, we must both be in the same group" Naruto said with a smile.
"Really?…but, you look older than me, shouldn't you have taken it by now?" Tenten asked curiously.
Naruto paled slightly.
Anko heard this and stared at Naruto in wonder, it was true, with all the excitement yesterday she hadn't noticed, Naruto should be 12 but he looked at least three years older than that.
'Damn it!! Is it really that noticeable?' Naruto wondered to himself and he found himself thinking of a way to change the subject again.
"… wait a second, you said your taking it 'again'? So you've taken it before?" Naruto asked.
Tenten looked slightly upset at the question.
"Y-Yeah, I took it last year, but I had a accident and failed it" Tenten looked embarrassed and a little bit angry. "Last year I was second best in the class just behind Hyuuga Neji… everything was going fine until he got put in our class…" Tenten said with some vemon in her voice.
"He?" Naruto asked
"Sasuke Uchiha" Tenten continued, "He was in the class below us, the class that is graduating today, but he was considered a prodigy so he got bumped up a year to graduate early…" Tenten explained.
"Sasuke Uchiha?.. Ah, yeah I met him just half an hour ago… he didn't say much… in fact he didn't say anything, he was on Might Gai's team" Naruto said as he remembered his encounter with the team.
"Sasuke Uchiha is an arrogant asshole who doesn't want what he has and want's what he can't have" Tenten said through her teeth.
"Huh?" Naruto was pretty confused now.
"Let me explain, Sasuke has fan club of girls under his thumb that he completely ignores even though they practically throw themselves at him… I however have more respect for myself than that" Tenten explains.
"Ah…" Naruto said as he realized what happened. "… you were the one girl who wasn't interested in him, so you were the one girl he wanted" Naruto realized.
"Yeah well… the day before the Genin exam last year we split up to spar with partners, I was paired with Sasuke, he had already been bugging me for weeks to be his girl… he acted as if he was doing me a favor, and I turned him down each and every time… during the spar he caught me in a hold from behind, he held my wrist in one hand and his other hand…" Tenten suddenly stopped and blushed furiously, she looked down as if she was about to cry. Naruto saw her expression and understood, Sasuke's free hand went somewhere it shouldn't have.
"… he whispered to me, "Last chance", then I said no, and he snapped my wrist" Tenten said whilst subconsciously holding her right wrist. "The next day at the exam I could hardly do anything, I couldn't throw Kunai or Shuriken very well with my left hand and my right was still badly hurt, even with the medical ninja's help… then I couldn't perform the hand seals for the Transformation Jutsu or the Clone Jutsu… so I failed" Tenten came to the end of her story.
Anko found herself clutching her Dango stick more tightly than usual.
"Fucking Uchiha rat bastard!!' Anko cursed to herself while imagining what she would do if Sasuke tried that ever again.
"Well, like you said, you were near the top in your class last year, so now that your wrist is better you should have no trouble passing" Naruto said with another smile.
Tenten saw him smile and found herself blushing again.
"T-Thank's Naruto-kun" Tenten froze… she hadn't meant to say that, it just slipped out, but luckily Naruto either didn't notice or didn't mind.
'W-What's wrong with me? I'm acting like… Sakura…' Tenten shuddered at the thought.
Before either of them could say anything they were interrupted when a pitcher of water was slammed down in front of them.
"Your water, your meals should be along shortly" the waiter said with a seemingly genuine smile.
'That's strange… what's that Ass smiling about' Anko wondered. They she turned back to Naruto's table and saw Tenten pouring herself a glass of water, it was then she notices a very faint mist in the water.
'… What the… no, they wouldn't dare!!' Anko thought.
Naruto watched as the waiter strolled back around the counter and into the kitchen.
'What was he smiling about?' Naruto thought.
Just for a moment the waiter turned and looked directly at Naruto from inside the kitchen, and smirked.
Naruto's eyes widened, he turned around to se Tenten about to drink from a glass of water.
"NO!" Naruto yelled as he quickly grabbed the glass of water away from her so quickly that a few drops of it spilled onto her top.
"H-Hey!! What the hell?" Tenten asked in an annoyed tone.
Anko sighed in relief, she had just been about to stop the girl from drinking but Naruto beat her too it, she didn't know what was in the glass with the water but it couldn't have been anything healthy. Anko still needed to do something about the Waiter though.
'Hmm… let's just wait and see how this plays out first' Anko thought as she went back to her Dango.
Naruto raised the glass to his face and lightly smelled it, his face suddenly looked angry, he slammed the glass down before speaking.
"Excuse me, waiter?" Naruto called in a sickly sweet tone.
The waiter who had brought the water to them approached with an annoyed look on his face.
"Yes sir, is there a problem?" the waiter asked.
"Yes there is…" Naruto said with a smile.
Before anybody could act Naruto reached up with his left hand and grabbed the waiter by the back of his head.
-SMASH!!-
Naruto pulled the waiters head down and smashed it hard on the table.
"AHH!!" the waiters scream drew the attention of everybody in the restaurant.
Naruto quickly stood up and placed his knee against the back of the waiters neck to hold him there, with his now free hand he reached into his coat and pulled something out. It was a large long silver object, some people in the restaurant didn't know what the hell it was, but some recognized it as a western weapon called a 'Gun', more specifically a revolver.
Naruto placed the gun over the waiter and placed the tip of the barrel against the side of his head before pulling the hammer back.
-Cl-Click-
"N-Naruto, what're you doing?!" Tenten almost screamed as her hand inched close to her weapon scrolls.
Anko meanwhile was sitting forward whilst munching her Dango, she acted like she was in a theatre watching a movie… and the good part just began.
Naruto ignored Tenten for now and continued with his actions.
"Ok, first of all if you want to poison me try using something that doesn't have such a strong smell, I mean come on, bleach? That was just pathetic" Naruto said whilst holding the gun steady.
Tenten was shocked.
'W-What? No way there's…' Tenten's thought was interrupted when she noticed something misty in the water, she then looked down at where some of the water had splashed on her, sure enough there were white spots on her pink shirt where the water had landed.
'My god, I almost…' Tenten almost vomited, she had been a few second s away from a very painful fate. '… Naruto, you saved me'
"… Second of all, if you wanna try to poison me, make sure you poison me and not an innocent girl I happen to be sitting with" Naruto continued.
"… and Third, the thing I'm holding against your head can propel a piece of metal with so much force that after ripping through your head it'll go down through the table, through the floor and then it's travel through the earth for about 5 meters before finally coming to a stop… now give me a reason not to pull the trigger" Naruto said with a smirk.
"P-P-Please, I d-d-don't want to d-die…" the waiter said with tears running down his face and onto the table.
"… that's what I thought…" Naruto said as he slowly lowered the hammer back down and tucked the gun into his jacket. Naruto then moved his knee from the waiters neck causing him to flop to the ground crying.
Naruto turned to Tenten with an apologetic frown.
"Tenten, I'm sorry, because of this guy you almost…" Naruto couldn't say it.
"Thank you Naruto-kun…" Tenten muttered just loud enough for Naruto to hear.
Naruto smiled before getting an idea,
"Well, for some reason don't think we can really trust the food that these guys are gonna bring us…" Naruto said whilst looking at the pitcher of water and bleach.
"… but, if you like I have something else to eat" Naruto asked hopefully.
Tenten smiled and nodded. Tenten stood up and joined Naruto in walking out of the restaurant. Just before walking out Naruto spoke without turning around.
"You know, it's not polite to spy on people, Anko-chan"
Anko had been in the middle of taking a sip of water when Naruto spoke. Her shock at what Naruto said caused her to choke slightly.
"-Cough-Cough-… that's Anko-SAMA to you brat!!" Anko shouted from her spot at the back, but Naruto and Tenten were already gone.
'Heh, maybe Kurenai's got the right idea about being a sensei, especially for that brat' Anko though with a smile as she picked up he final Dango stick.
The waiter was finally trying to stand up.
"F-Fucking demon…" the waiter said through clenched teeth. "… I'll, I'll kill him!!" he started to reach for a carving knife, only to have a sharp pain go through his hand in the form of a finished Dango stick.
"Ahhhh!!" the waiter creamed as his hand is impaled.
Anko strolled over and grabbed the waiter by the collar.
"I think you and I need to have a talk at the interrogation department… maybe Ibiki will want to join in"
DMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMC
Meanwhile Tenten and Naruto were talking side by side towards the academy. Tenten was about to say something when her stomach suddenly let out a loud growl. Tenten sweat dropped and blushed.
"Heh… sorry" Tenten said apologetically.
Naruto smiled as he reached into one of his side pouches and pulled out a scroll of his own.
"Don't worry, I have the perfect thing to solve your problem" Seeing as Naruto only had one useable hand he placed part of the scroll in his mouth and unrolled it. Before dropping the scroll to the ground. Tenten looked at the seals inside, they were basic item seals used for food, weapons and other useful items. Her own scrolls were filled with them holding her many weapons.
"Ok, what would you like? Pepperoni? Peppers? Vegetarian?" Naruto asked as if she would understand.
"Huh?" Tenten asked with a confused look.
"Heh, sorry I forgot…" Naruto said with an awkward laugh. "… ok, seeing as it's your first one you may as well stick to basics so… Margarita it is" Naruto placed his hand over one of the seals and something appeared in a poof of smoke. It was a flat cardboard box with the word 'PIZZA' over the top. It took a moment but Tenten's nose was quickly filled with a very mouth watering smell.
"W-What is that?" Tenten asked whilst she tried to keep herself from drooling
"This Tenten, is Pizza…" Naruto said with a flair as he opened the box showing a circle object covered with yellow, white and red topping sliced into six equal pieces.
"It's a baked bread covered with tomato purée and cheese, I fell in love with this stuff when I was in America… so before I came back I bought 200 of the things and sealed them into this scroll"
Tenten awkwardly picked up a slice and looked at it warily, it looked strange but it smelled fantastic, taking a deep breath Tenten raised it to her mouth and took a bite.
'… and in 3, 2, 1...' Naruto though with a smile.
Tenten's eye widened and so did her mouth.
"HOLY S…"
DMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMC
Hinata's eyes slowly fluttered open, she spotted the clock across from her and her eyes widened.
"Ah!" The exam was in less than half an hour.
Then Hinata remembered what happened last night, the monster that stalked her and the boy in red who had saved her. In her excitement when she got home she forgot to set her alarm.
Hinata quickly jumped out of her bed and ran from the room towards the bathroom whilst throwing off her pajamas in the process. She quickly took and shower and rushed her teeth simultaneously. After washing she left the bathroom in a wet towel and entered her room, she quickly threw on her usual outfit of a pair of Khaki pants, black top with fishnet sleeves covered by her beige hoodie.
Hinata finished getting dressed and saw that she had 20 minutes remaining. She got up and took of out of her bedroom door, as she did she spotted Kurenai sitting at a table in her own pajamas drinking some tea.
"Ah, good morning Hinata… aren't you supposed to be at the academy?" Kurenai asked with concern as she noticed the time.
"I f-forgot my alarm and s-slept in, g-gomen" Hinata apologized with a bow.
Kurenai chuckled, Hinata still hadn't let go of the habit she gained living with her clan, she kept apologizing for the smallest things.
"It's ok Hinata, do you have time for tea?" Kurenai asked.
"N-No, I have to go now, see you later Kurenai-sensei" with another quick bow Hinata quickly left.
After Hinata was gone Kurenai had a strange feeling, as if she had forgotten something. After a few more moments it came to her.
'Oh… I probably should have told her about Naruto… oh well, it'll probably be ore interesting this way' Kurenai thought with a smile as she continued sipping her tea.
DMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMC
After ten minutes of continuous running Hinata made it to the academy with ten minutes to spare, she quickly walked in and made her way to the class room, nearly everyone was already there.
Tenten was already at the class, she had been the first one here over an hour ago, she spotted Hinata walk into the room and smiled, she respected Hinata simply for the fact that she was the only girl in the class other than herself that didn't fawn over a certain Uchiha.
Hinata took her regular seat and waited, after a few more minutes two men walked into the room, one wore a olive green Chunin vest, had brown hair tied back and a long scar across his nose, the second also wore the same vest and had semi-long silver hair. These two were their instructors, Iruka and Mizuki.
"Ok class…" Iruka started, "… welcome to the Genin exam, the exam is split into three sections and…" Iruka stopped when he noticed something in his notes.
"Ah, it seems that there will be another student joining us for the exam" before any questions could be asked the door to the classroom opened and in stepped a blond boy dressed in red.
Hinata's eyes widened, it was him, the one who saved her the night before, last time his face had been hidden in the shadows, this time his face was completely visible. Her heart skipped a beat, blue eyes, six whisker marks.
'N-No… it's impossible…' Hinata tried to reason with herself, her whole body was shaking.
"Iruka-sensei, I'm here for the exam" the boy spoke and Hinata's mouth started quivering. His voice was more mature, but something about it stayed the same.
"Ah yes, we're just about to begin, why don't you introduce yourself" Iruka said to him.
"Yes…" he said as he turned to the rest of the class and looked it over, he spotted Tenten sitting near the back, he quickly remembered his manners and bowed.
"Nice to meet you all, I'm Naruto Uzumaki" Naruto introduced himself.
-THUD!!-
"Huh? What was that noise?" Iruka asked. "Wait a second, where's Hinata? Is she absent?"
Hinata meanwhile was out of sight under her desk unconscious.
"N-Naruto-kun" Hinata mumbled.
"…wait a second… Naruto? Naruto Uzumaki?" Iruka recognized the name.
"Yeah, it's good to see you again Iruka-sensei, it's been too long" Naruto said with a smile.
"Yeah, six years" Iruka replied whilst returning the smile.
'I-It's him… the Kyuubi brat, what the hell, I heard that he was killed six years ago' Mizuki thought to himself.
After scanning the room again Naruto noticed two familiar faces, Choji and Shikamaru, both of them looked stunned at his appearance.
After a few minutes thing shad calmed down, Naruto had taken a free seat near the middle of the class. Hinata had woken up and was sitting nervously with a cherry red face, every few seconds she would turn and catch a glimpse at Naruto.
"Ok, as I was saying before…" Iruka continued what he had been saying before Naruto came in, "…the Genin exam is split into three different sections that test three different abilities, weapon accuracy, Transformation and Bunshin, each section of the exam is worth a maximum of 100 points, that's a possible 300 points overall, to pass the exam you must have a minimum of 200 points, any questions?" Iruka asked as he paused. There was silence for a few moments.
"Ok then, if you all follow me out into the courtyard we can begin the weapon accuracy test"
DMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMC
A few minutes later everyone was lead outside where several targets had been put up, the target was a simple three layer ring with numbers labeling each ring, 10 for the center, 5 for the middle ring and 2 for the outer ring. Obviously the number were the amount of points you earn for hitting each target.
"Ok, you each will have five shuriken and five kunai each, come up as I call each of your names"
One by one Iruka called out names. Most of the students hit either the center or middle rings. Hinata was up next, she used her Shuriken first and Kunai second, almost all of them hit the center except for 2 shuriken and one kunai that hit the middle ring, she seemed distracted by something. Hinata earned 85 points.
Next up was Tenten, she picked up her Kunai and Shuriken all at the same time and threw them one by one, each one of them hit near the dead center of the target, the class weren't too surprised when Tenten earned a perfect 100 points, throwing weapons were after all her specialty.
Finally It was Naruto's turn. He stepped forward to the table where his weapons were.
Iruka looked a little conserned, if he remembered correctly Naruto was right handed when six years ago, but now his right arm was in a metal sling, not to mention Naruto might not even know how to show them properly. Iruka stepped forward to give Naruto some advice.
"Ok Naruto, these are Shuriken, now the way you know these is…"
Naruto interrupted Iruka by picking up the Shuriken and quickly throwing them one by one, they all hit the center of the target. To say Iruka was shocked would be an understatement.
"O-Ok, next we have the Kunai, now this is a little different because they don't spin whilst in the air so…"
Once again Naruto interrupted Iruka by picking up the Kunai one at a time and throwing them at the target, once more each of them hit the center of the targets.
Iruka's mouth was wide enough to catch flies.
"Well, um, you've certainly got good aim with both Shuriken and Kunai" Iruka managed to say.
"Yeah…" Naruto said with a smile, "… but I prefer this" Naruto said as he quickly reached into his jacket and pulled out something long a silver, without waiting for a second he pointed it at the target and…
-BOOM!!-
The end of the object seemed to flash for a moment and the target exploded!! Splinters of wood flew everywhere, everyone in the class had covered their ears with the boom and had wide white eyes and gaping mouths as they watched the target board explode.
'… A GUN!! THIS KID USES A GUN?! WHOEVER HEARD OF A NINJA WHO USES A GUN!' Mizuki screamed inwardly.
It was true that no ninja uses guns, they had two major weakness', they were loud and mos importantly they needed to be reloaded after a few shots.
For Hinata this was absolute proof, Naruto was definitely the one who saved her last night, he used that gun to shoot the 'thing' that was following her.
Meanwhile Anko Mitarashi who had been watching everything from atop the roof of the academy was laughing her ass off, she couldn't believe the looks on everyone's faces when it happened.
'Oh god, that was fantastic!! Ok, if the kid passes there is no way I'm gonna let Kurenai keep him all to herself'
DMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMCDMC
After picking their jaws up from the ground the class made their way back to the class they came from. At some point whilst they were outside, somebody had come in and placed several dozen Konoha forehead protectors on the front desk.
"Ok… next is the Transformation and Bunshin, come dawn as I call your names"
Once again once by one everyone went down to the front and performed both the Transformation and then Bunshin. Most of the students did very well, point were deducted because of little thing like mistakes in the Transformation of Bunshin.
When it came to Hinata's turn she pulled it off perfectly, both the Transformation and Bunshin. It wasn't too surprising though, as a Hyuuga she needed good Chakra control to use her clans Jyuuken style. Hinata ended the exam with a score of 285, she blushed as she accepted the Headband from Iruka.
Then it was Tenten's turn, she created three Bunshin's easily and got the full 100 points, but she made a small mistake when it came to her transformation, the person she changed into had her hair parted on the wrong side, she was deducted 10 points, Tenten ended the exam with 290 points.
Then it was Naruto's turn, he walked down to the front and some people in the class started sniggering and so did Mizuki, Naruto knew exactly why… his arm. They think that without both hands he can't mold the chakra for the techniques.
Naruto smirked as he held up his left hand in a half ram seal.
"Henge!" Transformation.
In a poof of smoke Naruto disappeared and was replaced with a perfect copy of Iruka.
'Impressive, since his right hand is obviously hurt, he had learned who to use one handed seals' Iruka thought with a nod, the transformation was perfect, no flaw in the copy at all. A perfect 100.
"Ok Naruto, now create three Clones" Iruka said.
Naruto held his half seal up again and was about to do it when he thought of something, Tenten had gotten the most points in the whole test, that would make her rookie of the year… Naruto came up with a plan and smiled.
"Bunshin no Jutsu!" there was a poof of smoke and laying next to Naruto was a pale, sickly, dead looking copy of Naruto.
Iruka sweat dropped, he had expected more, he only created on clone and it looked dead, it was only worth 5 points and even that was being generous.
"Heh, sorry Iruka-sensei, this was the best I could do with one hand" Naruto explained.
"Well it doesn't matter, you still got 100 in both weapons and Transformation so this gives you 205 points, you passed… barely" Iruka said and passed Naruto a headband.
After Naruto sat back down Iruka stood up to address the class,
"Ok, congratulations everyone, not even one of you failed this year, I'm very proud of you all, tonight we will be looking at your test results and will be placing you with three man teams and you shall begin your careers as Shinobi of Konohagakure, please return here tomorrow at 11am to be given your team assignments, dismissed" Iruka said with a smile. Everyone stood up and started filing out of the room.
'Damn it… they all passed, well there goes that plan out the window… I'll just have to steal the scroll myself' Mizuki thought as everyone walked out. He would have a busy night ahead of him.
To Be Continued…
