I guess I'm pathetically predictable, because my very first review for my previous chapter guessed right about who it would be. Just for that, I was going to do someone else, but I couldn't think of anybody.

"Myoga." Inuyasha called under his breath, hoping the flea was in the room, and could hear him.

"What?" The voice was Naruto's and not the old man's

"Ah..." Inuyasha tried to think of a good lie. "Myoga. I say it for good luck sometimes, a verbal good luck charm. It really works."

"Really?!" Naruto yelled in excitement. "MYOGA!!!! MYOGA!!! MYO– "

"Shut up already!!" screeched Sakura., and started pounding on him, saying things like, 'You need to understand the mood,' and 'Everybody's going to stare at us, because you want to spout nonsense.' Nobody noticed the small form that hopped onto Inyasha's nose, and was slapped off. Nobody noticed Inuyasha telling the form to study the answer sheet of the teacher's. And later, nobody would notice the bug crawling under Inuyasha's bandana. Keh. He smirked to himself. It was genius. At least to him, it was. He wasn't exactly the smartest person in the world. Another might have come up with a smarter plan.

"I suppose I should get this out of the way now. You are not allowed to fight each other during this exam, unless given permission by the examiners. Even if permission is given, you are not allowed to kill the other."

"What?! Why not?! What if you– " Inuyasha's protests were cut off.

"Pigs who go against this will fail immediately, understood?"

"Fine." Inuyasha sighed in disappointment. He'd probably get paired with a weakling, and not be challenged at all. This stunk. "Softies" he muttered. This seemed to be amusing for the chuunin, who started snickering.

"Then we will start. Turn in your applications, take one of these numbers, and sit where it tells you to. Then we will pass out the papers for the written exam."

"Written?...Papers?..." a jounin pulled out the papers. And the boy got to his knees. "A written exam?!!"

The students did as the instructor ordered, and sat down to their tests. Inuyasha could see naruto speaking to the girl next to him. The fox looked a bit cheered up. The teacher then started speaking.

"The first exam has a few rules. I will not accept any questions, so listen up. You each start out with 10 points with every problem you get wrong, 1 point is taken off your test. Also, this will count for your team's total score."

Sakura hit her head on the desk. "What?! Why our team's total score?!"

"There is a reason for this. Just shut up and listen. The next rule is that if an examiner catches you cheating, you will lose 2 points. Hence, you might have to leave without your tests being graded."while he was talking, Myoga managed to crawl onto Inuyasha's clothes, and hopped from there under his bandana.

"I got the answers" he whispered in Inuyasha's ear.

"Ok." Inuyasha murmured, glancing at the examiner next to him. The man had not seen the flea. Inuyasha felt like a weight had been dropped from his shoulders.

"Also, if anyone on the team gets a zero, the rest of the team will fail."

"W-what?!" Sakura yelled. Inuyasha agreed. "Myoga, Naruto." he whispered, hoping the flea would understand. He didn't.

"The last question will be given 45 minutes into the exam. You have 1 hour. Begin!"

Inuyasha finished pretty quickly, with Myoga helping him. It took him no more than five minutes. After he was done, he said, "I hope that boy with the spiky blonde hair, wearing orange passes." This time the flea understood, and hopped over to Naruto, offering assistance. Naruto at first refused, but 15 minutes into the exam he finally nodded his head and started writing. Inuyasha smirked and waited for the tenth question. They would pass, all thanks to him. He got bored quickly, though, and started to think of names he would call the other rookies, and Gaara's team. He made a chart in the free space in his paper.

Sasuke– Prima Donna

Sakura– Man or Forehead

Naruto– Fox, Loser, Idiot

Shikamaru– Lazy-Bones// not pony tail, I know to many people who wear their hair that way,

Ino– hmm... Ino-Pig//yes, I could say that I thought it was her name, since Sasuke and the others on my team called her that.

Chouji– Fatty// simple.

Kiba– Inukkoro Never thought I'd use that on another person.

Hinata- Mouse// she's so timid, and for lack of a better name

Shino– Bugs, Creep

Gaara– Sesshy-clone

Temari– Kagura-reborn.// They both have fans

KankuroI dunno... do I know any demon that keeps a dead body on it's back? Hmmmm...

In front of him, a sound village ninja listened to the sound his pencil was making, and copied it. He looked down at his paper. What the heck? he thought, and erased it. He decided to copy the boy next to him, instead.

Inuyasha gave up on Kankuro, and looked around. His eyes drifted to the chuunin next to him. Other chuunins were calling out names of teams who were failing, but his hadn't yet, but looked about to, writing furiously. The man looked at Inuyasha. The hanyou glared back, then stuck his tongue out at the man, which earned him a small laugh. " Tendo, and Kitsiuna, your teams fail."

Minutes more passed, and many students failed. After an eternity for Inuyasha, who was bored out of his mind, it was time for the tenth question. Ibiki started to introduce it.

"It is time for the tenth question! But before that, I must give one special rule. First you are all going to choose whether to take this problem or not."

"Choose?! What happen if we choose not too?!" Temari shouted.

"Then you will fail, and your teammates with you. There's more. If you choose too, and get it wrong, you will forever lose the privilege of taking the exam"

"What?! That's messed up!" Kiba complained, "some kids here have already taken this exam!"

"You were unlucky. This year I am the rule. Those of you who do not have confidence, can choose not to take it, and take it the next year or the next. Let's begin. Those of you who don't want to take it, raise your hand."

Minutes passed. Inuyasha sat in quiet nervousness. Naruto was freaking out, which could only mean that Myoga didn't know the tenth question. Easy? More than likely hard. Please be about demons. Please be about demons.

One boy raised his hand. Then another, Then a girl. "Cowards," Inuyasha muttered. "Pathetically not taking risks. You don't deserve to be chuunin." This slowed down the raised hands, but then Naruto shakily raised his hand. Inuyasha's face turned red, then his eyes, as his bloodlust level started to rise. How could he? He'll fail the exam for me! I'll kill him first! The Kyuubi smirked as he gave more youki to Inuyasha. Soon he would be free of that cage. just as Inuyasha was about to kill Naruto, though, The boy's hand slammed down.

"Screw You! I'm not gonna run away! I'll take this problem! Even if I become a genin forever, I'll still be Hokage! I"m not scared!"

"Yeah Naruto!" Inuyasha yelled, bloodlust washed away from his system.

"I will ask one more time. This is a choice that will impact your life." Ibiki siad to the boy.

"I'm not taking back my words! That's my way of the ninja!" Naruto shouted.

"Me neither. I never back out. I've been on a million missions that impact my life more than this! Every single one is life-threatening. Not backing out... That's my way of the ninja!" Inuyasha added, caught up in the moment.

"Listen up!" Ibiki said, after no more people raised their hands, "For the first exam all of you... pass."

"Wait a second here!" Sakura objected, "What about the tenth question?!"

"There was no such thing to begin with." Ibiki answered, laughing.

"Then what was the point of the nine questions!" Temari shouted in exasperation at the instructor. I cheated for nothing! Inuyasha added mentally, halfway between being relieved and angry.

"Oh, the nine questions served their purpose. They tested everyone's information gathering skills. First there's the first rule, which is that your team's passing and failing depends on your score. This puts extra pressure on you."

"Because we all need extra pressure" Inuyasha muttered under his breath.

"Yeah. I was kind of sensing that in the test." Naruto said with a smile. Liar! His teammates thought.

"But these test problems cannot be solved by you Genin. So, most people here must have decided, 'I have to cheat to get points.' So, we snuck in Chuunins who would be the target for cheating."

"Ha! It was so obvious, it would have been weird not to notice it!" Naruto replied in a loud voice.

"Liar!" Myoga said into his ear. "You brag more than my lord!"

"But those who cheated like fools failed, of course." Ibiki added, taking off his hitai-ate. "Information can have a greater use on missions and battlefields, than the lives of some people!" Inuyasha was the only one who saw the head without either disgust, besides Gaara, who remained emotionless. That much...and he's a human! The hanyou thought in awe. For, on his head, were screw marks, burn marks, and scars from wounds.

"Getting incorrect information, or getting it too late, can cause great damage to you, your teammates or villagers." Ibiki supplied.

"Ain't that the truth." Inuyasha growled out.

"What?" Sasuke questioned.

"Yes. How would you, a Genin know of this, already? Not only that but you said that you went on more dangerous missions."

"Just Myoga's so cowardly, that he only gives me information when it's already too late."

"Myoga?"

"That would be me!" a voice piped up.

"...a...flea."

"Not any flea! I am the great Myoga. Most trusted and closest servant of Lord Inutaisho! And My Lord Inuyasha!"

"Lord Inuyasha?" Sasuke inquired with a smirk.

"Yes! He's the heir to the western lands! Insolant mor– "

"You know what, flea? No one cares. Go on, Morino" Inuyasha said, silencing the flea, except for a few sniffles.

"Sigh. The main question was the tenth question. Let me explain. The tenth question was the to take or not to take question. Let's assume you became Chunin. Yuor mission is to capture a secret document. Their number of ninja, their abilities, and armaments are unknown. Their may be traps that the enemy has set up. Now, will you accept the mission or not?Just because your, and your teammates lives are in danger, will you back out? Are you able to avoid dangerous missions? The answer is... no.

There will be life-threatening missions that you can not back out on. The ability to show courage to your teammates when needed, and the ability to get yourself through a bad situation. That is what we look for in a Chuunin, in a squad leader."

That describes Inuyasha exactly! Myoga thought, If only he could be smart.

"Fools who carry a light determination do not deserve to be Chuunin. You have proved that you are not that. I wish you luck."

"All right! Wish us luck!" Naruto shouted and started dancing.

"Yeah!" Inuyasha shouted, and lightly hopped to the boy and gave him a high five. At that moment, though, something smashed the window. Kunai were thrown, and attached to the wall to hold up a huge blanket. In front of the blanket was a woman, who was wearing a long coat, fishnet shirt and leggings, along with shin pads and sandals. Behind her was a blanket that said...

"I am the Second Examiner Mitarashi Anko! Let's go to the next exam! Follow me!" she yelled, going from cool to overexcited as she spoke.

"Grasp the atmosphere." Ibiki said to the lady, causing her to angrily blush.

"81?" she said, counting the students, "Ibiki, you let 27 teams pass? You're going soft!"

"It looks like there are a lot of excellent students this time." Ibiki answered with a smirk.

"Oh well...I'll make more than half the students fail this year. Anyway, I'll explain the details tomorrow, so ask your Jounin about the place and time. That is all. Dismissed!"

– Later –

"So, Inuyasha, How long are you planning on staying?" Kakashi asked.

"Four years, minus a 3 month break period over the summer." Inuyasha replied.

"What? That long? And you have a set time?"

"Yeah. My friend's in school, and our group decided to train while she's away."

"Ah. Then in that case you need new clothes."

"No! No way!"

"Yes. They don't help you, and you don't see any body else wearing stuff like that."

"Keh. This is the robe of the fire rat. It's stronger than any suit of armor, and completely fire repellent."

"What?! Really. Then, fine." Kakashi admitted defeat.

"I do need to get some stuff from my village, though. It won't take more than a day to get it and come back."

"Stuff? All right. I would like to see your village though, Our team'll go with you."

"Fine, then."

– Later –

Inuyasha and the group ran through the forest near the village, Inuyasha leading the way. All of a sudden they heard a child's voice.

"Inuyasha! Inuyasha is that you?" It said. Inuyasha stopped.

"Shippo! What are you doing here?!" He asked, addressing a tiny boy with red hair and a tail.

"I couldn't find my grampa, And while I was looking for him, I found Kirara. She took me back here. But that's not important, where were you? There're demons terrorizing the village, and Kaede broke her arm! You gotta help!"

"What? Demons?" Kakashi asked, unbelieving.

"Yep, you sad fool, demons exist!" Inuyasha gloated. "I was right and yuo were wrong. Admit it!"

"W-we don't have time for this! And it's probably a genjutsu."

"Keh. I'll show you a genjutsu!" Inuyasha yelled and ran in the direction of the village, ninja hot on his heels.

When they got there, Inuyasha saw four bear demons. "Keh." he said to Kaede. "You couldn't even kill these ones, hag? Pa-thet-ic"

"Ye should respect thy elders. Will thee kill these beasts?"

"Not yet. I want to be able to gloat to Kakashi more." He answered as Kakashi and his students appeared behind him.

Kakashi sighed in defeat, as his students stared at the beasts in fear.

"You're afraid?" Inuyasha asked the three younger ones with a smirk. "They're just 2nd rate demons, at best."

"And who might you be to call us such? Weak Hanyou." the bear demons interjected, angered.

Inuyasha smirked at this. "My name is... Inuyasha." immediately he could smell the fear emanating from the beasts. They started to run.

"W-wait!" Inuyasha protested. "I want to kill you!" He called after them, causing them to run faster. Inuyasha decided that this was a nice time for shadow clones. He made four to force them back, and trapped them.

"It was just your unluck that the village you chose to terrorize happens to be under my protection." he said calmly, pulling out Tessaiga. "Kaze no Kizu!" He yelled and the light surrounded the bears, sweeping them into oblivion. He then picked up a shack, and said to the shocked group. "Okay, let's go. Shippo, Kirara, you can come, too"

Kakashi, for one, was glad that he had not met the Hanyou on the battlefield.
