A/N: The poll from last chapter is still ongoing, and I'm going to try and answer some of the questions revolving Naruto's older siblings. If it is still confusing, please tell me. I am trying to get better at avoiding plot holes and inconsistencies.

Chapter 10 - Time skip: Genin exams

It has been four years since the kidnapping and Danzo has been quiet. The Uzumaki Clan and the Nara Clan has been keeping a close eye on Danzo, waiting for the moment to catch him; however, the war hawk was buying his time. It has also been a year since Shiro, Yuri, and Sakura's elder brother, Kensuke graduated out of the Academy, being one of the new genins along with Team 9 and Team 5.

Shiro and Yuri were walking through the village listening to the whispers about their younger brother, Naruto. They were told when growing up that Naruto was not the demon, and that their mother was in the same boat as him when she was growing up. At first they were understanding, and protected Naruto from the civilians; however, one night it all changed.

It was the night of Naruto's fourth birthday and ninjas with blank masks hiding their faces attacked the siblings when they were heading home. Shiro and Yuri were trying to get Naruto away; however, the ninjas being older and more experienced than two academy students quickly bested them. However, the twins' attempt bought enough time for Minato and Arashi to arrive. The ninjas were quickly arrested and the twins, were praised; however, the next morning, they were scorned by the civilians.

"Why did you protect that demon?"

"Honestly that demon is only alive because of his father."

After protecting their younger brother, the twins, once hailed as the children of the Yondaime, are now seen as outcasts, just for protecting their family. This stress from the civilians for Shiro and Yuri, who were 6 at the time, was just too much, and on top of that, they noticed that Naruto was developing quicker than them, which made them to become extremely jealous of their younger brother. They were told by their parents and their grandfather that everyone is unique, and that they will grow; however, the twins just believed that because Naruto had the Kyuubi in his gut, he deserved more training than them, not realizing that if Naruto does not control his chakra, it may hurt the people around him. Regardless of everything Kushina and Minato has told to Shiro and Yuri, they don't seem to ever understand, nor do they seem to try. After the twins begin to ignore Naruto, they realized the civilians started to treat them better, so from then they just went with it.

Although Minato and Kushina knew that the civilians have influenced Shiro and Yuri to shun Narut, they could not do anything about it. Minato, being the Fourth Hokage could not be seen as using his power for only his family, and Kushina being Dragon, the ANBU Commander, could not harm the civilians either. Minato tried to pass laws to prevent the civilians from harming Naruto, just for it to be vetoed by the civilian council and the three elders, Danzo, Homura, and Koharu. Minato realized that with just the shinobi council on his side, he could not pass any laws protecting his son, in dismay, he had Orochimaru, Kakashi, and Itachi by Naruto's side as much as possible.

Naruto is now twelve years old and is more than ready to become a Genin. He could not wait to get out of the civilian council's command, since when he becomes a ninja, the only people he will have to listen to is his father and everyone else in the ninja chain that is above him.

"Hey Shika, Ino, Choji. You guys ready?"

Shikamaru responded, "Hey Naruto, yeah I'm ready. Maybe I can get that troublesome woman off my back."

Choji was munching on chips and Ino was trying to fight Sakura for Sasuke's affection.

Naruto thought, "I really hope that my team doesn't have any fangirls in them."

Sasuke sighed, "Hey Naruto, pray that we don't get them on our team please."

Naruto asked, "If I know better Ino, will be placed with Shika and Choji. But Sakura..."

Sasuke said in denial, "We could also be placed with Hinata... Sakura can be good with Genjutsu, so she can still be placed for a tracking team."

Naruto agreed.

Iruka then showed up, waiting for the class to quiet down. After two minutes he used his Big head Jutsu, "QUIET!"

Naruto chuckled silently, "Nice Dolphin, nice."

As the class went back to their seats, Iruka said, "Alright class, today will be your Genin exams. Your exam will be split between written, ninjutsu, weapons, taijutsu and genjutsu. Here are your written exams, good luck.

It has been around an hour when the first part of the exam was finished. Iruka led the class out for the weapon accuracy exam, leaving the remainder chunin proctors behind to grade the exams, and making sure that Naruto's exam was graded by someone who respects him, so everything will fair.

Hinata asked, "How did you guys think you guys did?"

Sasuke shrugged, "I don't think I did as well as Itachi-nii or maybe Naruto, but I think I did fine."

Naruto said, "Why are you comparing yourself to Itachi-nii again?"

Sasuke said, "Cause you compare yourself to Itachi- nii and Kakashi-san."

Naruto paused for a moment and said, "Okay fair point, but come on don't sell yourself short, you're great!"

Sasuke shrugged, "We all know intel gathering is your specialty."

Hinata giggled.

Naruto sighed, "Hinata, you too?"

Hinata blinked innocently.

Quickly they arrived at the dummies, which were set up ready for the soon to be genins to throw pointy objects at it.

They went from alphabetical order, with Shino being the first up.

"Kunai: 7/10, Shuriken: 7/10. Well done, Shino."

And then it was Choji.

"Kunai: 7/10, Shuriken: 8/10. Good job, Choji."

The listed went on and on, and soon it was Sakura's turn.

"Kunai: 6/10, Shuriken: 6/10. Not bad, Sakura."

Naruto thought, 'Not like Kensuke huh. They're both civilian born, but it is obvious who takes shinobi life seriously.'

Then after some more students, it was Hinata's turn.

Naruto said, "Good luck Hinata!"

Hinata said, "Thanks Naruto."

"Kunai: 8/10, Shuriken: 8/10. Impressive job, Hinata."

Hinata was pleased that she is going to be in the running for Kunoichi of the year; however, she knew that it depended on her written score, since because of the civilians' influence that part of the exam was now weighed more than physical. She zoned out for a bit, and then Kiba was called.

"Kunai: 6/10, Shuriken: 7/10. Good improvement, Kiba."

Kiba said, "In your face you pink banshee! I got a better score than you."

Sakura scoffed, "By one Kiba, I probably creamed you in the written..."

Shikamaru mumbled, "Troublesome."

Sakura screeched, "What did you say!"

Shikamaru sighed.

Naruto said, "Haruno, do the world a favor and be more like your brother."

Sakura was speechless. She knew that Naruto knew her brother, but was she really that different? How did he know since they were only in a class together for one year, until Naruto's older siblings, her older brother, and the other two were changed into last year's graduating class. She knew that the only reason they were kept behind a year was because of certain lack of skills, and after it was fixed they were quickly transferred, but what she didn't know was that the reason Kensuke was held back, was not because he lacked the skill, but their mother held him back.

Iruka said, "Alright, that's enough. Now, Shikamaru."

Shikamaru sighed, "Troublesome."

"Kunai: 7/10, Shuriken: 8/10. Good motivation, Shikamaru."

Shikamaru just went back to sleep.

Iruka sighed, and proceed down the list, until he got to Sasuke.

The fangirls were squealing, "GO SASUKE-SAMA!"

Sasuke groaned.

"Kunai: 10/10, Shuriken: 9/10. Amazing job, Sasuke!"

Sasuke sighed, "Darn it, just one point."

Naruto chuckled as he walked up.

"Kunai: 10/10, Shuriken: 10/10. Are you trying to be the next Kakashi or Itachi or something?"

Naruto bounced up and down, happy for himself.

Sasuke while happy for his friend, but was still annoyed about that one point.

Finally came Ino.

"Kunai: 7/10, Shuriken: 7/10. Nice job, Ino."

Ino cheered, "Yes! In your face Forehead!"

Shikamaru sighed, "Troublesome."

Ino growled.

Iruka sighed and led the class now towards the circle where they will have their taijutsu test.
