Naruko, Elemental Nation's Traveling Mage


it was time for the Chunin Exam, and Naruko was hyped. She hardly got any sleep the night before, due to her adrenaline that came with her lasting excitement. Now she and her companions, who were giving her a sleepy evil eye for getting them up so early, were walking towards the Academy Building, where they were told the Exam was being held. Naruko walked with her hands in her coat pockets while her hood, and a some of her shadow magic, hid most of her face from the world except her mouth.

Rose was putting her hair in a long braid, something she couldn't do with Naruko hounding her to hurry, and Bickslow tossing one of his dolls up and down, trying to pass the time it took to get to the Academy. Naruko was leading the group when she saw an interesting sight. The duck-haired boy she had seen at the bridge a few months ago was fighting another boy who was in green tights. He seemed to be gathering energy, when a giant turtle shows up out of nowhere and tackles him.

Not wanting to see what happens and hoping to get into the Academy without being noticed, Naruko quickly lead her team into the building, not seeing the shock on the face of a certain red-haired Akane Uzumaki. Rose, however, saw this and started wondering how the girl knew her leader. Once inside, the team quickly noticed that the other Genin seemed to be in a Genjutsu. Now, since the energy that use is only related to Chakra on the basest of levels, low-level Genjutsu like the current one had no affect on them.

Walking to the room where all the other Genin were situated the Fairy Tail Ninja's walked to the very back sat waiting for it to begin. All of the other Genin stared at the group wondering which village they came from and why did one of them have weird visor, while the group sat back and relaxed. Bickslow took out a dishcloth from one of the hidden pockets in his uniform and started wiping one of his dolls, a habit he got over the years.

Rose twirled the end of her hair, then looked at Naruko who was bored and chewing on her arms shadow. Smiling at the display, Rose asked Naruko "Hey, Naruko, I saw this red-haired girl out side who looked shocked to see you, do you know her?" Naruko quickly tensed, but then relaxed and said in a serious fashion "That was my sister Akane, she knew me because I beat her and my mother down in Wave. The same day we left from the area." Rose quickly had a dangerous glint in her eye, the same glint she would get when she faced a male in battle.

She turned around still twirling her hair leaving a slightly sympathetic looking Naruko, she almost pitied her family, but only almost. Naruko pulled her hood, making sure it was still on her face, and laid her head on the desk in front of her, promptly taking a nap. It was only a few minutes later that she woke up to a scarred man's voice. From what he looked like she guessed he had been tortured somehow. After a quick introduction, the Proctor started the first phase of the exams, a test. Naruko quickly sent out her shadows, letting them gather information and answers for her and Rose, while Bickslow secretly had one of his dolls look at the people around the room. The doll promptly gave off quiet noises that were translated into fresh answers for Bickslow.

It wasn't long before the exam was over and the trio had successfully answered all nine questions. The Proctor looked over all the smiling faces and even more disheartened faces and spoke "Now for the last question, now if you answer this question wrong you will never be able to take another Chunin Exam, if you would like to quit please raise your hand, you and your team will be escorted out of the room."

After this was said, the room erupted in to chaotic arguments and yells, before the noise was put down by the Proctor's commanding voice that seemed to carry a strong crushing feeling, usually associated with people in high command talking to their soldiers. Naruko and Rose looked on in disinterest of the situation, wondering when all of this would end and they could get on with it. Bickslow was still wiping the doll he had earlier and was zoned out.

To Naruko's amusement a boy with a coat on accompanied with a dog, quickly sprang up and let out some extremely obnoxious words, that seemed to give the others confidence, if only to not be one upped by a boy like him. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Rose gain a slight glare, directed at the coated boy. Bickslow finally noticed what was happening and had a confused glint in his eye.

Naruko sighed and got him up to speed about what had happened as he was in his imagination. He smiles a bit and then turns to glance at Rose who catches his eye, smiling now with a slight blush on her face. Naruko sighed contently at the display of affection, it was almost TOO adorable at times when it came to those two's budding love. She turned back to the front where she continued to listen to the man's "inspirational" tirade.


With Akane before the start of the exam...


She couldn't believe it. That cloaked figure from months ago at wave was right here! Akane looked at her teammates, Akane wasn't surprised by what she saw from them, Sakura had a face full of fear, heck Akane felt fear too, but she just masked it, but Sasuke was openly glaring at the person who had metaphorically kicked his "Uchiha Pride in the balls". She seemed to be asleep or at least she had her eyes closed.

Team Seven walked to the back where they could see the other rookies talking before the Exam starts. They began talking about how excited they were to actually be here for their first year as ninja. Sasuke didn't take part much in the conversation, he insulted Kiba once or twice, but otherwise just grunted and took short glaring glances at the Cloaked Girl. Kiba seemed to see these glares and followed the malice filled gaze right back to the odd-looking trio.

With a confused tone, Kiba asked "Hey Sasuke, why are you glaring at that group?" The rest of the rookies quickly looked over at the victim of Sasuke's anger and adopted Kiba's look of befuddlement, excluding Akane and Sakura who could understand his rage. Akane quickly answered the question, seeing as Sasuke wasn't about to talk about the situation they had found themselves a few months ago.

"While we were on our mission to Wave Country, a corrupt business men attacked us, but before we could get hurt, since we tired from previous fights, that girl showed up from the ground using shadows." The rookies were shocked at the skill it would take to do such a thing, especially Shikamaru, who was going through his brain about any of his family Jutsus that could have even been used in this fashion. Akane continued "All of the bandits attacked her, but she pulled them down into the ground, like quicksand, and we never saw those guys again."

This scared the crap out of the Rookie Nine, but Kiba decided not to show it, opting to boast to all the other Ninja in the room that he would be the one to kick all their sorry behinds. The Rookie Nine were saved from the glaring ninja when a silver-haired teenager, a few years older than themselves, came up to them and started to talk to them. Akane felt something off about him, but brushed it off, thinking it was nothing.


Naruko


Naruko had to hold in a huge, bust-a-gut laugh when a, she assumed it was the next Proctor, purple haired woman came flying though the window and crashing to the ground, along with decorations, proclaiming the start of the 2nd Exam. The Second Proctor looked towards the Scarred one.

"You sure left a good number of them Ibiki, I think your losing you touch!" She proclaimed accusingly with a playful edge.

The now named Ibiki said with a smirk "Well, we have quite a good batch here this time, but...Anko, you were a bit early, I wasn't even done with the congratulatory speech yet." Deadpanning at the last bit of his sentence.

Anko rubbed her head sheepishly, before looking at the batch of potential Chunins and gained a deadly glint, making the Genin subconsciously shudder for no reason. Anko quickly gave the Genin Instructions to meet at training ground 44 in thirty minutes or be disqualifies, jumping out of the hole she had made through the window. The Genin sat shocked for a second before quickly dispersing in the general direction of the Chunin Exams next location.

Naruko was about to leave as well, only momentarily stopping to glance at her sisters fading figure, smirking and gaining a dangerous glint in her eye, the exact same glint Rose would get when having to do with male individuals. She left with happy thoughts of the things to come, and quickly caught up with her fellow Mages, happily following them with a very threatening aura around her.

'Second Exams, here I come!' were her thoughts.


AN: I was thinking of the Third Exam fights and came to the decision of replacing Team Dosu, with the Fairy Tail Team. Meaning that the fights they had will now be the fights that the Fairy Tail Ninja have. Also, please take a small amount of time to review, it gives me motivation to continue writing, and fill free to suggest anything that you think will make this story better. Thank You for Reading and Good Bye.
