"You three from the Hidden Village of Sound, don't think you can do anything you want before the exam. Do you want to fail already!?" Ibiki scolded them.
"Sorry. I got excited since this is my first exam," the guy in bandages explained innocently.
"Heh. This is a good chance to say this... you are not allowed to fight each other during the exam unless given permission by the examiners. Even if the permission is given, you are not allowed to kill each other. Pigs who go against me will fail immediately. Understood?" Ibiki sternly told everyone in the room.
"Aw..can't kill? Well that's a bummer.." Hiyony whined.
"What if they accidently walked into our kunais?" Mizu asked.
"Then you still fail!" Ibiki yelled when he heard their conversation.
"Geez, is he trying to get everyone scared?" Akio whispered.
"I think he did," Kairen said as she looked around.
"We will now begin the first exam of the Chuunin Selection Exam," Ibiki continued. "Turn in your application, take one of these number tags, and sit where the number tells you to. Then we will pass out the papers for the written exam."
"Written..? Papers..?" Naruto muttered. "Paper..? A PAPER TEST!?"
"Ha! Told you it was a good idea to study!" Kairen exclaimed pointing at Akio and Mizu who had not listened before.
"Yeah yeah.." Mizu looked away.
Everyone went to their assigned seats. Either disappointed because they sat to someone they don't like, or by someone they don't know so they can't copy.
Everyone I know got separated from each other. What should I do? Naruto sadly thought.
Sakura laughed at Naruto from far away. But also pitying him..by laughing. Guess it's the same difference.
Ah what? I get to sit next to Gaara? Why didn't I see that coming... Mizu thought.
"I get stuck with you, kitty litter?" Hiyony pouted seeing as she had to sit with make-up boy.
"Grr..it's Kankuro!"
Wah!? I have to sit next to this jerk?! Kairen thought. "Goshmyoh! I'm sitting next to the king of emo's, dattebayo!" she shouted in his face.
She's imitating Naruto just to annoy me.. Sasuke glared.
Everyone who heard either ignored it or snickered. And of course, the fangirls glared. Naruto would've laughed his head off, but he was too busy worrying about the paper test.
"N-Naruto-kun," a girl whispered.
"Huh? You're Hinata, right? When did you..?" Naruto spoke.
"L-let's do our best," Hinata cheerfully said.
"Uh? Sure." I didn't notice her at all. She needs to talk more
"This first exam has a few important rules," Ibiki spoke. "I will not accept any questions, so listen carefully. First rule is you all...are given..ten points..."
Mizu had zoned out Ibiki and decided to sleep. But it was difficult seeing as she felt someone's stare on her. She looked around, but everyone was listening to Ibiki..except for that Shikamaru guy. Realization struck her and she turned towards Gaara. Indeed, he was the one staring at her.
"Nani nani?" Mizu asked. Of course, Gaara did not reply. So Mizu decided to have a staring contest with him just to pass the time.
Gaara's P.O.V.
I watched as the girl fell asleep ignoring the pathetic man.
Her blood would be delicious Shukaku laughed evilly in my head. I ignored him this one time. She still does not run...
"Why do you not flee from me. You say that I am cold, yet you stay."
"Why should I flee? Wouldn't want to leave you alone at night. It gets pretty lonely."
One minute she's annoyed with me, the next, she treats me like I'm her friend...why...?
The girl stared right back at me, but her eyes were getting watery.
Normal P.O.V
Mizu eyes were getting watery, but she refused to give up! He'll blink eventually!
"What are you doing..?" Gaara asked blinking slowly.
"Ha! You blinked! I win!" Mizu shouted out loud receiving strange stares from people.
Is that girl for real? Temari thought.
I'm surprised Gaara hasn't killed her yet. Kankuro thought.
Sasuke was concentrating on the explanation that Ibiki was telling the class about. Kairen noticed and evil ideas started to fill her mind. As she found the right evil idea, she smirked as she started the plan. Her leg started to go up on Sasuke's leg which took him off guard and he almost jumped. "Oi, Sasuke- kun," Kairen exaggerated the last part.
"W-what are you doing?" Sasuke growled in a low whisper. But he was trying hard not to blush.
Oh my gosh..it's coming out better than I expected. Kairen thought slyly. "You look so handsome concentrating like that," Kairen flirted getting closer to his face. "NOT!" she yelled.
It stunned Sasuke that he almost fell back and would've landed on the guy next to him.
"You have an hour for the exam...Begin!" Ibiki cried.
"Eh what? Oh..guess you start the test," Mizu flipped over her paper.
"Blink blink What the hell is this!?" Akio whispered angrily. "Damn..maybe I should've studied with Kairen and Hiyony.."
Hm! Piece of cake! Kairen and Hiyony thought at the same time.
"The parabola, B, represents a shuriken's maximum throwing distance of the enemy ninja, A, from a height of 7 meters. Figure out the trait of the enemy ninja that can be observed from the ellipse formed by the shuriken, and figure out the maximum throwing distance on flat ground. Explain your reason? Crap. I'm too lazy to pay attention to this..." Mizu mumbled.
"If you don't do the test, you'll fail," Gaara stated.
"Huh? Why do you care?"
"I don't. I'm just saying," he glared.
Shit. Akio and Mizu won't be able to figure these out...nor can anyone else here. I wonder..what if you have to cheat? Kairen thought. Kairen curiously looked over and noticed Sasuke using is Sharingan Eye. "I guess you do.." Kairen whispered. Please figure this out, Akio..Mizu.
Hmm? Damn! I'm stuck on this question! I promised to not use any magic either. What do we have here? Cat-boy is copying answers? Hmm..I wonder.. Hiyony smirked. She stepped real hard on Kankuro's foot and he groaned in pain. At this distraction, Hiyony quickly copied down the answers.
"What was that for?!" Kankuro quietly yelled.
"There was a spider on your foot," Hiyony smiled and looked at him innocently. "Oh look. There's another one." Hiyony stomped on his other foot which made him wince even more. She quickly copied down the answers once again, and sat there smiling.
"Do you have a death wish?" Kankuro growled.
"I can easily beat you up like my sisters did," Hiyony gave him a deadly glare.
I got to get away from this girl.. "Oi! May I please go to the bathroom?" Kankuro raised his hand.
"Yeah that's right, run away!" Hiyony whispered triumphantly.
Akio looked at the two boys between her and smiled. "You know. You guys should hook up together! I mean you two would make such a great couple! Boys kissing each other is so funny!"
This chick is crazy! They both thought.
"No way! Besides, I have a girl waiting for me back home!"
"Who your mother!?" Akio shouted in his face. The other boy snickered but stopped when she looked over his way. "Did your mother tell you that you were sweet, funny, and special?"
"..Yes...?"
"Well she lied! You need him to complete you!"
"Huh! Whatever! Once this is over. I'll defeat you in a battle so you can shut up!"
Akio gave the deadly family glare. "You underestimating me, punk?" her voiced changed from hyper to cold.
The boy was frightened, but he just growled at her and went back to the test.
Mizu caught something flashing above the ceiling. Her eyes squinted to adjust to what it was. Ah no way! The answers reflected from a mirror! This must be my lucky day! She was careful to make sure the Chuunins weren't looking, and wrote down the answers. Suddenly, sand went into her eye. Normally, people would take forever to rub them off. But she just blinked twice and it cleared. In front of her was a floating eyeball. She made a questioning look and smashed it. It turned into sand and went back to...Gaara.
"What the-! Your were going to cheat off of me!?" Mizu angrily whispered. I know you should cheat, but me of all people?!"
As Mizu continued to ramble, Gaara of course, ignored it.
My technique failed on her.. Gaara thought.
What do you expect, idiot. She controls water.
Can't you ever shut the hell up, Shukaku.
Kairen looked over at Sasuke, and once again he was concentrating real hard. She didn't have to worry because she already finished the test, so why not entertain herself? Kairen quickly smacked Sasuke's head real hard.
"Gah! What was that for!" Sasuke glared.
"There was a bug on you, dattebayo," Kairen held up piece sign.
Naruto was grabbing his hair panicking about the test. Time is running out! Crap! Cheating is the only way now...! But, if I get caught, it's going to cause trouble to Sakura-chan and Sasuke. But if I get a zero, Sakura-chan and Sasuke will fail along with me...
"N-Naruto-kun..?" a whisper snapped him out of his thoughts. "I'll show you me..test." Hinata said shyly.
What is she saying? Why would she do this for me? Is this...some sort of trick? But... Hinata isn't the type who does that sort of thing. No, maybe Kiba told her and the other guy to trick me. "Hinata, let me ask one thing. Why are you going to show me?"
"W-well..I-I.." Hinata gulped. "I don't want you to disappear at a place like this. Y-you know, the nine of us are the only rookies, and there will u-uncertainties in the future, so.."
"Oh, I see!" Naruto smiled. "I doubted you for no reason." Anyway, this is a really lucky chance for me. I'm glad Hinata was next to me. Naruto slowly looked down, but a kunai flew right by him. The kunai landed on someone's paper, surprising them.
"W-what is the meaning of this?" the boy asked.
"You screwed up five times. You fail," the Chuunin answered. "Teammates of his, get out of here!"
One by one, teams were caught and failed immediately. They were either dragged out of the room , or sadly walked out. One boy was slammed against the wall fo arguing.
"See? I told you to go out with him. If you did, none of this would've happened!" Akio wagged her finger.
"H-how would that work!?"
"IT WOULD'VE GAVE ME INSPIRATION ON THIS TEST! So, who's going to get beaten up now?" Akio snickered. Without anyone looking, she swiftly switched his paper with hers, and wrote her name in place of the boy.
"H-hurry and look Naruto-kun," Hinata pretended not to pay attention and let some of her answers show.
Naruto was shaking, but he toughened up and told Hinata, "Don't you get it, Hinata? A great ninja like me doesn't cheat!" Naruto smiled at her "Also, you might get in trouble for aiding in the cheating."
Hinata blushed at Naruto's comment.
"PENCILS DOWN!" Ibiki yelled. "It's time for the tenth question."
