2 Years passed
"Shinto-kun, you are very skilled, and I am going to nominate you and your squad for the Chunnin exam this year" Konohamaru said
"It's too, troublesome, why can't I just stay a Genin?" Shinto said.
Shinto is a Green eyed Brown haired kid dressed in a fishnet shirt with a brown shirt over it Black pants and a nasty attitude with a short fuse which he inherited from his mother but normally calm and collected like his father.
"Shinto-kun if you don't go through it then none of you can" Konohamaru said.
"I see, so if I don't participate my comrades can't either, fine I'll do the troublesome exam" Shinto said.
"Hanako-sama is your Junior yet she out ranks you, why because she wants to be promoted, she wants to prove herself, and now she set a few new records because of it" Konohamaru said
"She has eliminated every squad in the chunnin exam by the 2nd test, and set the record of completing the 2nd test in 50 minutes, She has Become an Anbu at the age of 7 and an Anbu Captain by age 8, I don't expect you set any records but to complete the exam and become Chunnin, can you do that Shinto-kun?, just complete the test" Konohamaru said
"Fine I will try to pass the test, but I make no promises, if it becomes to troublesome then I will quit" Shinto said. After saying this Shinto takes off for his house.
'Shinto-kun, you really are a piece of work' Konohamaru thought 'thing is you have Haruka-sama, and Yukiko-chan participating too, and it is said they both are very good, two of the best out there at the rank of Genin, and they won't stop there, if your not careful they could crush you, Haruka-sama has developed a jutsu that can severe Chakra from a distance, and Yukiko-chan is the greatest genjutsu user out of the genin taking this exam but we will see what you do when you come face to face with them'
-----------------------------
"Hello, Shinto-kun, I hear from Konohamaru-kun that you will be participating in this year's Chunnin exam?" Shikamaru said.
"He convinced me to" Shinto said.
"Well, be careful, you will be going against Haruka-sama and Yukiko-san durning the exam" Shikamaru said.
"What?, Konohamaru-Sensai never said anything about that" Shinto said.
"He figures that you staying behind like this and let those two surpass you would look bad on your part" Shikamaru said. "After all you have been a Genin for 3 years and they are fresh Genin"
"I guess I see your point, but I still see this as troublesome" Shinto said.
"I had the same outlook on life, that things that didn't concern me where troublesome and did not require my attention, yet I changed since I realized that as a ninja I can't run away but face my opponents head on , running away will not change fate, if your to change your fate then take it head on if you don't you will regret it." Shikamaru said. "My sensai was killed before my very eyes, that is when I realized my mistake, I don't want you to follow the same path."
"Alright father, you proved your point I will try a little harder but don't expect me to go all out" Shinto said.
---------------------
Start of the Chunin exam
"My my, Haruka-chan, it's you" Yukiko said
"Of course, Pinky-chan" Haruka said.
"So how does the completion look like?" Yukiko said.
"They all look like the normal crappy ninjas" Haruka laughed.
"Nice, this means we should easily make chunnin" Yukiko said.
"I'll tell you what, Pinky-chan, if you make it to Chunnin I will stop calling you Pinky" Haruka said.
"What?, I got used to the nickname, what will you call me then?" Yukiko said.
"How about, Screw-up" Haruka joked "for real I will stop calling you it and start referring you by your name"
"Ok, fine by me." Yukiko said "Hey isn't that Shinto-san" Yukiko said pointing at Shinto.
"What, Shinto what is he doing here, he was a Genin when my sister was, and she's a Jounin now" Haruka said.
Then Shinto and his squad walked up to Yukiko and Haruka "Hello Haruka-sama, Yukiko-san" Shinto said.
"Well, considering skills, I would say the biggest competition of everyone here, would be Pinky-chan and you Shinto-kun" Haruka said.
"Really, you consider me to be one of the biggest competition?" Yukiko asked.
"Of course, I've heard you have improved immensely and most likely be the hardest person here to beat" Haruka said.
"Hmph, I find it all troublesome" Shinto said.
"Every one take your seats we will now be starting the Chunnin exams" Kiba said. "I will be your proctor for this part of the exams"
"You will be taking a test to check on your knowledge there are 10 question the first 9 will be giving from the get go, the last will not be giving till 10 minutes remain in the test, do not allow me to catch you cheating, if you are seen cheating you will have a point removed from your over all score everyone starts with 10 points each questing answered wrong on your test reduces your score by a point, if we catch you cheating more then 3 times you automatically fail" Kiba said then continued "you will come up here and draw numbers for arranged seating"
'hmm, this is odd, there are 2 to many students here, meaning that they are a chunnin or Jounin put in to help catch cheaters or to cheat off of' Haruka took note 'don't know which, but will find out soon'
"Good you each will no be placed in a seating arrangement based on your numbers" Kiba said.
"Now if the Chunnins will come in" Kiba said and in walked 15 Chunnins to observe the test.
"you have 1 hour, begin" Kiba said.
Everyone then turned the paper over and saw that the test was way to hard to answer, Haruka looked it over and thought 'humph, I see so those two extra people are to cheat off of, Byakugan' and she saw one that seems to know the answers and she wrote what he had answered. Meanwhile Yukiko looked at it and went 'wow how can I answer these question I know only ¾ of them, I know Demon Dark Door Genjutsu', and she put the whole class under a genjutsu with out them noticing and started writing answers down on her paper from her neighbor who seemed to be one of the Chunnins.
'I see Yukiko and Haruka both know what this test is about, how interesting, It's to test your information gathering skills and they both realized it, they are good' Shinto thought 'I find this test to be troublesome, but the answers are to easy to come up with humph what ever, I will just answer 6 question and go to sleep, till the last question'
'Wow Haruka-sama and Yukiko-chan are good, I don't think any of the chunnins realize they are cheating, and there partners are doing fine too, Shinto just passed out what the hell, he's so much like Shikamaru it's not funny' Kiba thought then looked at his watch 'well 2 minutes left' by then 35 of the 50 squads were eliminated by the chunnins "Ok last question, but before I ask it, I will give you a choice you can stop here and not flunk if you get this question wrong or to continue and risk failing if you answer this next question wrong, if you chose to answer it and answer it wrong you will never take another chunnin exam as long as your ninjas, or you can withdraw now and can take the next chunnin selection exam in 6 months?" Kiba asked.
Of the 15 squad that remained another 8 dropped out "so the 7 squads that are left will attempt the question?, this is your final chance to withdraw" Kiba asked. 'wow Haruka, Yukiko and Shinto's squads are going to be staying none of them seem to be wavering' "test is over the 7 squad that are here pass the 1st test." Kiba said.
"What we passed" said a ninja from the cloud village.
"The idea of this test is to test your information gathering skills, if you where caught you risk giving your village bad information which can cost lives hence why ninjas were eliminated when caught cheating more then 3 times on this test, the 2nd part of this test was to test to see if you would risk everything to complete your mission, if you took the safe path you will never be of any good to your village and were eliminated as well, the job of a ninja has no safe paths, it is either do the mission or live your life in shame" Kiba said.
Then at this moment Ino entered the class room "wow, nice job Kiba-kun, you reduced the number of squads taking the test to 7, truth is by the end of my test, we will have eliminated another 5 squad at least" Ino said. "Meet me out side by training ground 48 you have 10 minutes to get there then I will explain the next test" and Ino then left.
---------------------------------
There is chapter 4 the next Chapter will cover the forest of death and show how wrong Ino was when she predicted 5 squads will be eliminated, any ways tell me what you thought there is about 3 more chapters till I do another time skip and this time it will get to the point of the 9th Hokage coming into power after Naruto.
Who should I make the 9th Hokage? Give me some insight and let me see your guesses so I can see if I can stump anyone.
Please reviews are always good.
