H.N.A: Instead of listening to me ramble let's get this story going

On with the show

Chapter 10: Written Tests and Kagome's Crazy Aunt

''Alright you little punks, shut up and listen.'' A stern voice growled.

The smoke cleared to show a man with long scars on his face. He smirked at them, and said.

''I am Ibiki Morino, your proctor. For now, I am your worst nightmare. First off, who the hell said any of you could start fighting. Do you want to fail already?''

The masked one said.

''Sorry. It is our first time. We are a little nervous, sir.''

''I am going to say this once, and only once. There is to be no fighting between candidates, or fights without permission. Even if you do have permission, any fatal force is banned. Anyone who messes with me will wish they'd never been born.'' Ibiki growled again.

Everyone nodded in agreement, the sound nin chuckling darkly from the thought of no fatal violence.

''Now, it is time for the first part of the Chunin Exams. Turn in your paperwork, and we shall give you a number. It will determine where you will be sitting. The written test will begin once you're all seated.'' Ibiki stated.

Naruto started panicking.

''Please tell me he didn't say a written test.'' He whined.

Kagome smiled, and patted his head in comfort.

''It's okay, Naruto. You'll be fine.'' Kagome said.

Scene Change

'Dammit! I don't know what to do! I don't see any of my friends. Nee- chan, help!' Naruto thought desperately.

'Hmm. Poor Naruto. Written exams aren't his strong point. I bet Kagome won't know any of the answers either. I am so going to win Sasuke and Itachi over with my smartness.' Sakura thought arrogantly. She had an evil smile on her face from where she was behind Naruto.

''Naruto, I wish you good luck.'' A soft voice said from his right.

Naruto turned, and saw Hinata sitting there with a blush on her face. Naruto brightened up instantly, and gave her a hug.

''Hinata! At least one of my friends his here! And I hope you do okay too.'' He said with a grin.

Her blush darkened from the grin he gave her.

''Listen up. There are a few rules that we need to go over, and any questions asked will be ignored, so pay attention.'' Ibiki said from upfront.

'No questions? What kind of rules are these?' Sakura thought.

''Rule one. You will all start off with 10 points. There are 10 questions that are worth one point each. Each question you get wrong will take a point from you. For example, if you miss 2 your final score will be 8.'' He explained.

Naruto grimaced.

''Rule two. This is a team test, and your final score will determine if your team passes or fails.'' Ibiki continued.

Sakura slammed her head down onto her desk.

''WHAT! Wait a second! You're saying that we will be scored as a team?'' She screeched.

''Shut your trap! There are reasons for this purpose.'' He snarled at her.

She blinked up at him in what she thought was a cute way. She was trying to get back in his somewhat good graces.

''The people around the room are there to monitor you, and to make sure you do not cheat. If caught, you will have two points subtracted for each time you're caught.'' Ibiki stated.

'Dang it! This is bad! Naruto and Kagome are such idiots, they'll make our team fail! Calm down, calm down, if me, Sasuke, and Itachi can pull through, we should be fine.' Sakura thought.

''Also, if one of you gets a zero, your whole team fails.'' Ibiki added.

Everyone's eyes widened, except Kagome's. She already knew what would happen. Itachi and Sasuke looked at each other worriedly. What if Naruto or Sakura failed?

Naruto had a sick look on his face. He knew that if he failed that Sakura would pummel him. He knew that Sasuke and Itachi would be angry, but they wouldn't try to kill him, just maim a little. What worried him most though, was that Kagome and Hinata would be disappointed in him.

''You have one hour.'' Ibiki said.

Everyone got ready.

''BEGIN!''

Scene Change

Naruto stared at his paper in horror.

'Shit, he's gonna choke.' Sasuke thought.

'Sasuke, relax.' A warm voice told him in his head.

'Kagome?'

'Yes, it's me. The trick to this test is to cheat without getting caught. Use your Sharingan to copy the answers. I'll tell Itachi about it, and I'll tell Naruto too.'

Sasuke smiled in his head. Kagome really was the best there is.

Kagome closed her eyes, and laid her head on her arms. She concentrated, and saw a doorway in her mind. She opened it, and saw Naruto in there.

''Nee- chan? Where the hell are we?'' Naruto asked.

''You're in my mind. I'm here to give you all the answers. Just pretend that you're freaking out, okay?'' Kagome asked.

Naruto tackled Kagome into a hug.

''I love you, Nee- chan!'' He exclaimed.

Scene Change

'Hmph. Now that I know to use my Sharingan, this is easy.' Sasuke thought triumphantly.

He was copying Kagome's answers, who was ironically in front of him.

Soon, the examiners started to eliminate cheaters. Some even had to be thrown out.

Ino saw that Sakura was surprisingly answering the questions right, and did her Mind transfer jutsu on her. More numbers were called out, and the Rookie 14 and Sand nin got the answers in their own ways.

The clock ticked on.

''Time for the final question.'' Ibiki said.

Kagome smirked. She loved knowing what would happen!

Scene Change

In a lounge, Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai were talking.

''Did you hear how Ibiki was the proctor this year?'' Asuma asked.

Kakashi's shoulders dropped.

''That damned psycho is the proctor? Great.'' He sighed.

''What's so bad about Ibiki?'' Kurenai asked curiously.

''I keep forgetting that you're a new jounin.'' Asuma chuckled.

''Whatever. Who is he?''

''He's a specialist.'' Kakashi answered.

''In what?'' Kurenai asked hesitantly.

''Mental interrogation.'' Asuma stated.

Kurenai's eyes widened. An interrogator?

''Let's get on to happier things. Kagome remembers all of us.'' Kakashi said.

Asuma and Kurenai smiled lightly. They, Kakashi, Anko, and surprisingly Gai were Kagome's favorite babysitters when she was really young.

Kurenai would always try to get Kagome to wear dresses and pink, but was refused. They always had fun though.

Asuma taught Kagome that sometimes you should just sit back, and enjoy the peace.

Anko was her aunt, so of course she babysat her, but they slightly blamed the brown eyed ninja for Kagome's love of pranks. Her and Naruto.

Gai was eventually roped into it by accident, when he wanted to challenge Kakashi to a fight, and Kagome was there.

And of course Kakashi wanted to know the Taisho prodigy. He still remembered how she would look at him with her big blue eyes, and ask him to play with her, or teach her a jutsu.

'I'm going to be there from now on. After all, I don't want any boys except Itachi or Sasuke flirting with her.' Kakashi thought.

Scene Change

''These rules will frighten you all.'' Ibiki stated.

Naruto gulped.

Kagome may have helped him with the first 9 questions, but would she help with the last one?

''Rule one. You are allowed to decide if you want to hear the question, or not. If you do not wish to hear it, you will fail, regardless if the other 9 questions were right.'' Ibiki said.

Everyone went pale at the thought.

''The next rule is, if you do hear the question, and get it wrong you will not be allowed to take the Chunin Exams ever again!''

''That's bullshit!'' Kiba growled. Akamaru barked in agreement.

Ibiki just laughed.

''If you do not wish to hear the question, raise your hand, and you can leave.''

Naruto pondered over the options. If he got this wrong he'd be a genin forever, but there could be a small chance that he'd get it right.

Kagome sighed mentally. Maybe she should have told Naruto about the question. Soon, hands were rising in defeat.

''Grrrr, I am not quitting! I need to be a chunin so I can get a step closer to being Hokage! I will not quit! Even if I get the question wrong, and I'm a genin I will be Hokage one day!'' Naruto growled.

His friends smiled. He was determined.

''He's got balls.'' Kiba chuckled to himself.

'That's my brother.' Kagome thought with a smile.

''Are you sure? You can back out if you wish.'' Ibiki offered one last time.

''I'm positive.'' Naruto smirked.

Everyone's backs straightened, and they got serious looks on their faces. They wouldn't back down either.

'78 left. More than expected.' Ibiki thought.

''I admire your determination. Everyone who is left, all I have to say is... you have passed the first exam!'' He said.

''HUH?'' Sakura asked.

''Haha! The answer to the tenth question was to stay no matter what! There was no written test for that!'' Ibiki grinned.

''So the other 9 questions were a waste of time?'' Temari asked. She was a little mad at this information.

''No. The other 9 questions were to determine if you could gather information secretly.'' Ibiki stated.

''You see, the first 9 questions were to determine how your reactions were to this being a team test. I wanted to see how well you could do under the pressure of knowing that you might cause your team to fail.'' Ibiki said.

''I KNEW IT!'' Sakura shouted.

Everyone in the room snorted at that.

''Like most of you figured out, these questions were beyond the capability of a regular genin, so that meant you had to cheat if you didn't know the answers. This test practically forced you to cheat. The question is, who should you cheat off of? I put 2 chunin that knew all the answers with you, and hopefully to help you out. Those who cheated poorly failed.''

Ibiki then took off his hitai- ate, and everyone saw the horrible burns, puncture wounds, and scars.

''Information is important, and if a third party notices you, there is no guarantee that the information is real. Deformations can be disastrous, and that is why I gave you this test. To see how well you could deal with knowing you held your teammates future in your hands. Anyone not good enough failed. Now all that's left is you.''

''Okay. Great. But what is the tenth question about?'' Temari asked.

''You don't get it?'' Ibiki deadpanned.

''Of course they don't, but I do! Explain it to them anyway.'' Sakura said arrogantly. In all truth, she had no idea either.

''Alright. As I said before, you are tested as a squad instead of singulars. You had two choices, both a tough decision. You could ditch the question, and never take the exams again, or you could hear the question and if you got it wrong, never be a chunin. It's a lose- lose situation. Chunin experience these kind of things all the time. For example. You all had to steal a document from the enemy. You have no clue about the ninja, or the amount of power they have. You might think that the enemy knows about you, and are expecting you. Now, do you wish to go into the unknown, or save your skin? The answer is go for the mission! There are some missions you will not be able to avoid, and you need to focus on the goal. This is what is qualified for a chunin. Anyone who decides to go the easy way, and save their own hide will never be a chunin as long as I'm around! But, all of you who decided to be brave, and didn't back down, I wish you luck for the next portion of the Chunin Exams!'' Ibiki said.

After that was said, a bundle crashed through the window, and it popped open to reveal Anko, and a banner.

''Hello kiddies! Don't start celebrating yet! I am your next proctor. Anko Mitarashi!'' She cheered.

She faltered when she noticed everyone staring at her. She looked around the room, and brightened when she saw Kagome sitting in her seat.

''Well, I'm glad to see that my niece has passed the first part of the exams! I won't say her name, but I will tell her that I need to see her later at her house!'' Anko stated.

Kagome groaned quietly. Leave it to her aunt to be not only flashy, but cheery as well.

'Oh, god. Not her!' Sakura whimpered in her mind.

''Wow. These many are left? Biki- chan's getting soft.'' Anko teased the older man in a sing song tone.

''Or it means that we have stronger genin this year.'' Ibiki stated dryly.

''Hmph. I'll have at least half of these wanna-bee's eliminated when I'm done with them.'' Anko retorted. She stared right at Sakura with an evil gleam in her eyes.

'Ack! She's staring right at me!' Sakura screamed in her head.

''First thing in the morning, things will be much harder. I'll tell your squad leaders where you're to meet me. Dismissed.'' Anko said.

Scene Change

Kagome waited patiently waited in the backyard of her home with Naruto, and the Uchiha twins. Suddenly, Anko was in front of them.

''I'm so proud of you!'' She squealed. She then picked Kagome up, and swung her around.

''Aunty... can't... breath...'' Kagome choked.

Anko sighed, but put her down.

''What did you need to talk to me about?'' Kagome asked.

Anko perked up, and said.

''Oh, yeah! I overheard this hot sensei talking with Asuma and Kurenai, and I wanted to meet him, so I told them to come over here when I'd tell them where you will all meet me.''

Kagome eye twitched.

''You did all of that just to meet one guy? And let me guess, this 'hot sensei' had gravity defying hair, and only one eye showing, and he was reading an orange book.'' Kagome said blankly.

Anko looked at her weirdly.

''How the hell did you know that?'' She asked curiously. Itachi decided to pipe up.

''That sensei is ours. His name is Kakashi Hatake, and he comes over here every now and again.'' He snickered.

Anko's jaw dropped.

''You mean that, that sexy god comes over here, and I haven't met him? Why didn't you tell me!'' She whined at the end.

Everyone laughed at the pouting Anko, and three jounin poofed in. Anko hid Kagome behind her back. There stood Kurenai, Asuma, and Kakashi.

''Why did you want us to show up here?'' Asuma asked in a bored tone.

''Because, I have a surprise for you.'' Anko said.

When the jounin raised their eyebrows, Anko stood aside to show Kagome. Kurenai gasped, and Asuma's eyes widened.

"Kagome?'' Kurenai whispered.

Kagome smiled, and nodded. The older girl squealed, and leapt at the 13 year old girl.

''Oh my gosh! Look at you! You're so tall, and beautiful! I see you're still a tomboy, though. I remember how hard it was to get you in a dress, I could never get you in a skirt though.'' Kurenai started to ramble.

Kagome looked at the older girl in amusement. Kurenai had always been like the older sister she never had. She was then swept into a back- breaking hug.

''Yep. She's still a little munchkin brat.'' Asuma snickered. (AN: My older brothers and cousins used to call me this. But, I can proudly say that they stopped after their hair was dyed pink and blue when I was 13. ^^)

Kagome growled.

''Suma- nii! I am not a munchkin, or a brat!''

Asuma grinned down at her, and said.

''Yes, you are. You're just bigger than you were the last time I called you that.''

The two continued to bicker back and forth, before Kurenai kissed Asuma on the lips to shut him up. Kagome's eyes widened in surprise.

''You two are together?'' She asked.

Kurenai blushed, bit her lip, and nodded. Asuma just chuckled at his girlfriend's shyness. Kagome smirked, and said.

''Great! Now I only have to get Aunt Anko, and Kashi- chan together.''

Anko started sputtering, and Kakashi's visible eye widened.

''Why would you want me and your aunt to get together?'' He asked curiously.

''You two look cute together, duh.'' She replied.

Kakashi smirked at the younger girl.

''Okay, I'll go out on a date with Anko. But, you have to agree to go on a joint date with Itachi and Sasuke after the exams.'' He stated. Itachi and Sasuke had blushed at the last part of Kakashi's offer.

Kagome just shrugged, and said.

''Alright. I agree to go out on a date with Tachi, and Sas after the exams. Now, Aunt Anko, where are we supposed to meet for the next part of the exams?''

Anko got over her shock, and said.

''By the Forest of Death. 11 A.M.''

Kurenai and Asuma nodded, and disappeared to do who knows what. Kakashi walked over to Anko, and pulled down his mask a little.

''I'll see you for our date soon.'' He stated. He then gave Anko a peck on her cheek, and poofed away.

Anko stood there, and then swung Kagome around.

''Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can't believe I have a date with that hottie! You are now my favorite girl ever!'' Anko stated.

Kagome giggled, and said.

''Mom, Aunt Moki, and Aunt Senna will be upset about that.''

Anko just rolled her eyes. She then got a thoughtful look on her face.

''I forgot! I have a surprise for you when you get to the third exam. And also... your cousins from your mom's and my side are coming.'' Anko said. She looked nervous when she said the last part.

''Oh, Shunran and Leika are coming?'' Kagome asked thoughtfully.

''No, not Senna's daughters... Moki's sons...'' Anko said.

She then teleported away right before Kagome exploded.

''Bankotsu, Jakotsu, and Hiten are coming?'' She screamed in anger.

''Yay! Ban and Jak are coming!'' Naruto cheered. He shut up when he saw the dangerous aura rolling off Kagome.

''Who are they?'' Sasuke asked curiously.

Kagome sighed in misery.

''They're my Aunt Moki's sons, and my worst nightmare. Don't get me wrong, I love them to death, but they're... interesting. Bankotsu's a cocky bastard, and so is Hiten, but Jakotsu... well, he might hit on you.'' Kagome said.

''It's not like he can hurt us. We'll fight back.'' Itachi said.

'"No. I mean he'll flirt with you. Then again, he flirts with anything that has a cock. The three of them don't like any females except family, Hinata, Sango, Mikoto, and me.'' Kagome got a thoughtful look on her face.

''Uh oh. She has that look on her face.'' Naruto said nervously.

Kagome grinned evilly.

''I can't wait to introduce them to everyone! Especially Sakura and Kikyo.'' She said sweetly.

The boys eyes widened. They actually felt a little sorry for the village bimbos. They heard the sound of stampeding feet, and saw Sango, Hinata, and Ino running towards them.

''What are you guys doing here?'' Kagome asked surprised.

''We wanted to know if you wanted to go shopping with us!'' Ino said.

Kagome gave her a look.

''You mean you wanted me to say if I like your outfits or not, because you have dates tonight.'' Kagome translated.

Ino and Sango looked sheepish.

''Well, yes. We have a double date with Miroku and Chouji.'' Sango admitted.

Kagome sighed, and looked at Hinata.

''Are you going too?'' She asked.

Hinata nodded shyly.

''Alright, I'll go shopping with you. But, only because I don't want Hinata to be lonely.'' Kagome stated.

Hinata smiled at her. She really was the best friend a girl could have.

''Thank you, Nee- chan.'' Hinata said.

Naruto just had to ruin the sisterly moment by shouting.

''Wow! Hinata didn't stutter!''

Hinata instantly blushed under Naruto's gaze. He was just so cute! Kagome smirked inwardly.

''Hey, Naruto. How about you go with Hinata, and triple with Ino and Sango? If that's alright with you three of course.'' Kagome said in a innocent voice.

Hinata's blush darkened, and surprisingly Naruto blushed too. Sango seemed to catch on, and said.

''Yeah! I don't mind.''

''Me neither.'' Ino agreed. Naruto brightened.

''Great! Where do we meet?'' He asked excitedly.

''We're meeting at the Red Fireburst at 8:00. See you later!'' Ino said, dragging Kagome and Hinata towards the village.

The twins smirked at the dazed blonde.

''Someone's got a date.'' Sasuke snickered.

Naruto rounded on him.

''At least mine is tonight, and not until the exams are over!'' He retorted.

Itachi and Sasuke just smirked at him.

'Damn temes!'
