"This is it." Quinn says softly as she quietly rolls out of bed and goes over to the alarm, turning it off before it could go off. She had been awake for the last hour and a half, feeling completely restless over what today would bring. Seven years of trials and training had led to today. Graduation day. She had seriously considered skipping today, whether or not she passed the final exam was irrelevant, her overall scores placed her at the top of the class as well as this year's rookie of the year.
It was a bitter sweet day for her. On the one hand she had worked hard for her skills. She had honed and trained herself into a powerful kunoichi, on the other hand… she may take a lot of pride in her skills but she had no more desire today to be a ninja than she did when she had first started out. She was doing this for Ino, Naruto, and Sakura. Her friends, her very best friends. She never thought she would ever meet people who she would grow as close to as Santana and Brittany, but she had found them.
If anything she was actually closer to those three than the other two. With Santana and Brittany she had been too immature, to selfish and childish to be the kind of friend that they had deserved for her to be. They cared about each other, but they weren't averse to screwing each other over to get what they wanted. But with Ino, Naruto and Sakura, she could honestly say that she would put them before herself in any situation. Whatever they needed, if she could help them, she would give it. It made her happy that she had people that she cared about so much now that she could do that with, but at the same time it made her a little sad that she was never able to reach that level with her old friends.
She would have liked to have seen them at least one more time, and apologize to them for not being the friend that they deserved. Still, there was no point in brooding on her past life right now, not when her current life was about to get so much more dangerous.
Quinn walks over to her sister's sleeping form and gently nudges her. "Ino," She whispers softly.
"Mrrghlbrrrr… five more minutes." She mumbles rolling over.
Quinn chuckles. "C'mon, it's time to get up." She says, nudging her gently once again.
"Uh-uh." Ino groans.
Quinn sighs, "Okay then, I guess we have to do this the hard way." Her finger drifting to Ino's side where she then begins to poke her.
Ino's eyes shoot wide open. "I'm awake, I'm awake!" Ino shouts, backing away from her.
Quinn laughs, Ino was super ticklish and she knew that that would get her up and out of bed faster than anything.
Ino growls at her, "Rin… you suck." She pouts, before sticking her tongue out.
"Sorry, I tried to be nice about it." Quinn says with a shrug. "Come on, let's get our morning stretches out of the way, I'll even let you have the first shower."
"Yay," Ino says, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "Just how I wanted to start my day, wake up at five in the morning and exercise." Ino huffs as she rolls out of bed.
"Oh, you're just going to be a bundle of joy today, aren't you?" Quinn teases, Ino wasn't a morning person even at the best of times and the fact that they had to be at the school an hour earlier today for testing was not something she was happy about.
"Shut up." Ino says, rolling her eyes.

"Good morning girls." Their mother says, smiling at them as they enter the kitchen, coming back inside from their work out. When they sit down she places a plate in front of each of them with a larger than normal breakfast for them.
"Morning mom." Quinn replies happily.
"M-Mooo-aaahhhh… morning." Ino mumbles sleepily.
"This looks great mom, thanks." Quinn says, as she inhales the heavenly scent.
"Yeah, thanks mom." Ino says as well before digging in.
"Not a problem, after all today is your big day. You both finally graduate today… I'm so proud of the both of you." She says, starting choke up. "You both put in so much work to get to this point and your father and I couldn't be prouder of the both of you."
"Thanks…" Ino says, blushing under the praise but pleased nevertheless.
Quinn shrugs, "It's no big deal."
"Yes it is, you two have worked so hard to get where you are now, and you are both so far beyond where you were supposed to be. Take it from a former kunoichi, you two are going to go so far."
Both girls nod their heads.
"Now, hurry up and eat, you'll want plenty of time to get ready for today. You'll want to be at your very best."
"Oh hey, mom, did you remember to-" Ino starts to ask.
"Yes, I got two sets of them, I hope they're both the right size."
"It should be okay," Quinn says, "The one's that we wanted were a kind of one size fits all, it should be fine."
"Okay, but I kept the receipt and I talked with the smith anyway, you can take them back and get them refitted if they don't fit. No extra charge."
"You're the best."
"Thanks mom."
Ino and Quinn reply, feeling a little more excited. They had been planning to do this for a couple of months now and had been saving up their allowances for just as long.

Quinn and Ino arrive at the academy before either Sakura or Naruto so they head over to the part of the courtyard that they liked to hang out by to wait for their friends. It was next to a tall tree with a single rope swing hanging from it. The four of them had kind of adopted it as their spot when they were outside.
It doesn't take long and the first person to arrive is Naruto.
"Ino! Rin! Good morning!" He shouts happily as he runs up to them.
"Morning."
"Good morning."
The two sister reply.
"So Naruto, are you ready for the test today?" Ino asks.
Naruto's face drops, "No… it's the stupid Clone Jutsu." He grumbles. "I still haven't gotten it down yet. I mean of all the final exams, of all the things that we could have covered why did that technique have to be the one that we do?"
Quinn smiles sympathetically at him. Clone Jutsu was by far Naruto's worst technique. He had spent hours and hours every day since they had first learned it three months ago practicing it and yet he had yet to produce a single viable double of himself. He could do Substitution Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu just fine, but there was something about the Clone Jutsu that stumped the poor boy.
"They probably chose it because of the three actual jutsu that we learn from this place, it's the hardest one." Sakura says coming up behind him, placing a friendly arm around his shoulders. "Good morning everybody."
Naruto sighs, "It's just not fair, I mean you three got it down so quickly, it took you guys hardly any time at all and yet I still can't even manage to make even one."
"It's because you have so much chakra." Quinn answers. "You have an insane amount, more than anyone I've ever met. The Clone Jutsu takes a very certain amount and the chakra control necessary to use it is… well…"
"I know, I know, my control sucks." Naruto pouts.
"No it doesn't." Ino says encouragingly, "Rin's right, you just have so much of it that it's harder for you to control it than it is for the rest of us. I mean, if you had my reserves or even Rin's who has quite a bit more than me you would probably have perfect control. I mean I'm not as strong a sensor as Rin is yet, but even I can tell your chakra levels are super high. It's not your fault you struggle in that area."
"Yeah, think of it like this. The rest of us are just trying to divert a river when we control our chakra, you're trying to control the ocean. Besides, better too much chakra than too little. I mean you wouldn't want to be stuck with my puny reserves, so don't let it get you down, okay?" Sakura says. "Even if you do fail the final, your scores are high enough in other areas that you'll still pass. This isn't a make it or break it deal for you."
"Yeah… I guess you're right, it's just frustrating because… well I've been working so hard on it and I'm getting nowhere."
Ino and Quinn exchange a glance. "Well… we might know what will cheer you up." Quinn says with a mischievous smile.
Naruto and Sakura look at them confused.
Ino steps forward. "In honor of today's events and the fact that the four of us have worked so hard to get to this point, Rin and I felt like we should do something for the two of you. You both have been the greatest friends that either of us could have ever asked for."
"So on that note," Quinn says as she pulls out two packages from her pack. "Ino and I have gotten you both a gift to celebrate our graduating today."
"Oh wow! Thanks Ino, thanks Rin!" Naruto says excitedly as he tears into his present.
"Yeah, thank you both." Sakura says with a smile as she opens up her gift as well.
When they both finish unwrapping their gifts they are both holding a set of beautifully crafted mesh-wire armor that protected both the torso and the legs. It was designed to be worn under clothing and had a similar style and design to the net wear that was popular with many ninjas throughout the world, but this was made with a strong and flexible metal that would help to turn and blunt just about any blade.
"This… wow… this is fantastic, thank you so much!" Sakura says as she hugs her two friends.
"I can't believe it, these are great!" Naruto shouts as he leaps in and hugs them as well.
Ino and Quinn both grin, glad that they decided to do this. "We're glad you like them. Let us know if they fit okay, we can always take them back or refit them if they aren't what you need." Quinn says.
"No, this looks perfect thank you…" Sakura says. "Actually I got you all something too." She says with a smile. "I was going to save it till later but-"
"Hey, hey, I got you guys something too!" Naruto says excitedly.
"Really? You didn't have to do that." Ino says and Quinn nods her agreement. Both Sakura and Naruto roll their eyes at them.
"Do you want to go first Naruto." Sakura asks him.
He shakes his head no, "No, that's okay, you said it first so you should go first, I can wait." Naruto says, bouncing excitedly on the balls of his feet.
"Okay, then…" Sakura says as she digs into her pack and pulls out three boxes, all of them the same size, each one about a foot long. As the three of them open up their presents from Sakura they see that inside the box is a well-crafted, Kaiken.
"This is great Sakura, thanks." Quinn says as she lifts the blade out of the box and unsheathes it, "This is incredible, thank you so much."
"Thank you Sakura, I love it." Ino says as she draws her own blade and examines it lovingly.
"This is so cool! I can't wait to use it, it's going to be awesome, believe it!" Naruto shouts as he's already giving it a couple of test jabs into thin air, taking out imaginary opponents.
Sakura beams at them, "I'm glad you guys like them, I wanted to get you guys Wakizashi or something but… I didn't have enough, so I hope these are okay."
"They're perfect." Quinn says hugging the other girl.
Sakura blushes heavily, before scowling at Ino and Naruto who are grinning at her, both of them well aware of her crush. She manages to get herself under control before Rin pulls away. "G-good… I'm glad. So Naruto, you said you had something for us as well."
"Oh yeah!" He says excitedly, sheathing his new blade and setting it down next to his mesh armor. He then reaches into his bag but hesitates. "Um… mine, well… it isn't as cool as the stuff you guys got me… I mean, I… well I had to make them but they… well they should work just fine… I mean, I got them appraised and everything…" He finishes shyly, before handing each of them a little rectangular box.
"Exploding tags." Ino whistles appreciatively as she opens it, "wait you said you made these?" she says sounding impressed.
"Um… yeah, I… I even had the old-man appraise them and he said they were good so… you know… it's nothing really."
"Naruto these are fantastic, I can't believe you made these." Quinn says pulling out and examining one of her tags. The designs on them were completely Naruto, on one side was an insult, that said "Eat this, sucker!" and a little emoji that was sticking its tongue out underneath it and on the other side was the seal work that made the tag explosive, a simple charge of chakra from her and she was essentially holding a live paper grenade. As someone who worked with fire jutsu a lot Quinn had come to have an appreciation for explosions.
"Yeah… well I've been dabbling with Fuinjutsu a bit and I'm kind of getting the hang of it and so I wanted to do something nice for you guys, you know for all the help you guys have given me and stuff… and well, there's twenty each and they'll fit right inside a shuriken holster so you don't have to worry about where to keep them, and the old man said they were all combat quality and stuff so… well, I hope you guys like them…"
"Well I can tell you right now these are great Naruto, I spent quite a bit of time going over Fuinjutsu and while I'm certainly no master I can confidently say that these are incredible. You have a talent for it." Sakura says with a smile, hugging the boy.
"Yeah Naruto, how come you didn't tell us you were looking into Fuinjutsu, we could have helped you with it?" Quinn asks curiously.
"Well it's just… I'm not the sharpest kunai in the pouch you know, and this stuff is for… well smart people, if I sucked at it I didn't…" Naruto trails off.
"We wouldn't have laughed at you Naruto," Ino says, picking up exactly where Naruto was going with this. "And you are smart, maybe not book smart," She says when Naruto gives her a slightly incredulous look, "But you're clever and you think well on your feet and you have a fantastic imagination. We're your friends, we wouldn't have laughed at you. If anything I'd say we'd be impressed. Fuinjutsu is a difficult art to learn, the fact that you're thinking of pursuing it is impressive and judging by these tags I'd say you're off to a good start."
"Yeah," Sakura agrees, "In fact I have a couple of books and scrolls on the subject, I'll get them to you later so you can read them. They're nothing too fancy, but they should help you gain a good grasp on the basics."
"That'd be great Sakura, thanks. So… you guys really like them?" Naruto asks nervously, normally he was full of confidence or at least bravado, but what these three thought of him meant the world to him.
"They're awesome Naruto, thank you so much." Quinn thanks him, hugging her friend, the other two girls doing the same thing and offering up their own words of gratitude right after.
Quinn starts to giggle. "What's so funny?" Ino asks her sister.
"Can you imagine the look on Iruka-sensei's face when he learns that Naruto knows how to make his own explosives?" Quinn answers, cracking up.
Ino and Sakura pause for a moment before they start to laugh too, with Naruto following soon after.

Quinn was the last person in class to go in to take her test. Seeing as it was a test on the application of a skill rather than the theory, the test was held in a separate room than their usual classroom. Each student was called into an adjacent room where Iruka-sensei and Mizuki-sensei were waiting. You would then perform the Clone Jutsu, the two teachers would then examine the clones and depending on how you did would determine whether or not you passed the test.
To graduate and actually obtain the rank of genin you had to have an overall class score of seventy-five percent. That meant that during the course of this final year, full of testing and review of everything you had learned up to this point, your overall score in every area had be at that percentage. The reason this particular test could make or break you was because it was worth ten percent of your grade.
The Cone Jutsu was chosen as the final test because it was the hardest of the three academy jutsu to perform. It required the power of the Substitution Jutsu and the precision of the Transformation Jutsu to perform. If you could successfully make a clone then theoretically you could do the other two as well, though they had been tested on the other two earlier in the year.
She could have skipped this test and she would still have graduated with flying colors, though she would miss out on her position as rookie of the year, the competitive part of her nature refused to allow that. Actually all of her friends could skip or fail this test and still graduate, even Naruto, who even if he got a zero would graduate the academy with a seventy-eight percent, three entire percentage points higher than was needed. But none of them wanted to end it that way. They had worked too hard to get where they were to just fizzle out and slide by at the end.
Of their group of friends Sakura had been the first to go in, ten minutes later she emerged from the testing room with a big smile on her face and she was holding her brand new forehead protector up so proudly. They had all rushed over to her to congratulate her.
It took a while but finally it was Naruto's turn to go. He was only in there for about five minutes, but when he came out he was carrying a forehead protector as well, though he looked a little disappointed.
"What's wrong Naruto?" Quinn asks, "You passed, you've got your headband and you're a full-fledged ninja now." She says smiling.
"Iruka-sensei didn't want to pass me. I couldn't even make single clone."
"But you didn't need to pass, your scores were all high enough in other areas to make up for it?"
"Yeah, Mizuki-sensei had to remind him of that. I just… I thought Iruka-sensei liked me you know, it just sucked that he was going to keep me from graduating if he could. If Mizuki-sensei hadn't been there I might not have gotten this, he really stepped up for me."
"Well he was right to do so, but don't let it get you down. I mean look at you Mr. Bigshot, with your brand new forehead protector." Quinn says smiling at him and bumping shoulders with him playfully.
Naruto grins, "Yeah, you're right, I've done it! I'm a ninja now and one step closer to becoming Hokage, believe it!"
Ino and Sakura come up next to congratulate him as well and finally twenty minutes later it's Ino's turn to take the test and when she emerges from the room ten minutes later, Quinn has barely a second to congratulate her sister before she is called in as well.
Iruka-sensei and Mizuki-sensei are both sitting behind a large desk, the top of it is completely cleared except for one single forehead protector. The metal band shining deceptively brilliant against the deep blue of the cloth. It was meant to be and look alluring, she was sure of it. A nice shiny bauble to entice the young people who had worked so hard to reach it. She wondered if she herself hadn't bought into this whole thing a little more than she originally thought. As much as she hated the idea of becoming a ninja, it didn't seem to have stopped her from pushing herself to being at the very top of the class, nor did it stop a small part of her from being excited to graduate and start doing missions.
"Rin Yamanaka, are you ready to begin?" Iruka-sensei asks with a kind smile.
"Yes sensei." Quinn replies.
"Alright, then please make at least two to five clone copies of yourself and while doing so hide yourself within them to try and prevent Mizuki-sensei and myself from detecting the real you." Iruka-sensei orders.
"Don't worry about it, you've got this, easy as pie." Mizuki-sensei says with a kind smile.
Iruka-sensei nods his agreement, "Whenever you're ready."
Quinn's hands shoot into the tiger seal, the last one in the sequence and the only one that she needed. And suddenly as if walking out of her, one by one were five perfect copies of her, all them standing in a perfect line, with her being the one who had moved from position on the fourth clone.
Iruka-sensei and Mizuki-sensei both get up and begin their inspection. They don't actually touch the clone but they do everything else that they can to determine which ones are the fakes and which one is really her. Luckily for herself and Ino, Sakura had mastered this jutsu and had taught them how to put in extra little details that don't seem like much on their own but can make all of the difference. The illusion of the sound of breathing, a shadow, a hint of a scent, things like that.
Finally after their inspection they take back their seats behind the desk. Mizuki-sensei chuckles. "Man, you three girls are something else, Miss Haruno as well as your sister gave us this kind of trouble as well. I'm going to take a guess and say that number five is the real, you."
Iruka sensei smiles as well. "I know, all three of them are becoming exceptional kunoichi. Miss Yamanaka, is number two the real you?"
Quinn allows her clones to disperse. "Nope, I am number four." She say with a smile as she disperses the clones.
"You have officially graduated and I am pleased to inform you, though officially I shouldn't be telling you this yet, that you have been ranked as this year's rookie of the year. A note of commendation will be placed inside of your official records, congratulations, you pass." Iruka-sensei beams at her. "Please step forward and claim your forehead protector, it marks you as a true shinobi of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Today is a big step forward for you, enjoy it, but just know that after today the real work begins, but I have every confidence that you will not only succeed, but excel as well."
"But don't worry about that today, go home and party hard, you especially have earned it." Mizuki-sensei says with a carefree wink, though to Quinn it seemed a little forced.
Quinn bows to the both of them. "Thank you both for all that you have taught me." She then steps forward and grabs her forehead protector.

When Quinn steps out from the testing room and back into the classroom room it's to the cheers and whoops of her friends, she holds her forehead protector up high and they all run up to her and tackle her in a big group hug.
"Alright, we're all finally ninja, ninja, ninja! Believe it!" Naruto shouts excitedly.
"I know right, how insane is this? We've all come so far since that first day." Ino says. "I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings."
"Well whatever it is, we're totally going to kick ass." Sakura beams, holding her hand out for a fist bump to Ino who returns it.
"Definitely. Hey do any of you know when they're going to post the class scores, I want to see where I finished at?" Ino asks.
"Iruka-sensei is usually pretty quick at getting our scores up, I'd say we'll know them by tomorrow, Wednesday at the latest." Quinn says with a shrug. "I wouldn't worry about it too much."
"Easy for you to say, everyone knows you're ranked at number one." Sakura scoffs. "I want to know how I did too."
"I completely failed so I probably dropped a rank or two." Naruto says with a sigh.
"You passed the academy, that's all that mattered. You'll master the clone technique, just keep practicing and you'll get it eventually, believe it." Quinn says, stealing Naruto catch phrase.
As the four friends leave the classroom and head outside the school it's to a large crowd of not only their classmates but kids from the other classes in their year as well as a bunch of adults and parents all there to greet and congratulate their kids. The students had the next week off, a time for them to prepare and celebrate with their families, and then next Monday they would receive their team assignments.
"Ino, Rin, girls over here." The two girls hear their father call out, they turn in that direction and see their father and mother as well as Sakura's mom and dad are all standing together and waiting for them. Sakura runs up to her parents while Quinn and Ino go up to theirs. Naruto goes to follow them but feels a tap on his shoulder and when he turns to see who it is, he sees that it's Mizuki-sensei standing their smiling at him.
"Ino, Rin, we are both so very proud of the both of you. This is a huge day, you've worked so hard and we just couldn't be prouder." Their father says, beaming down at them.
Megumi pulls both of her daughters in for a hug. "You both have grown up so fast, it seems like only yesterday you were just my little babies and now you're all grown up." Her voice cracks a bit and she has tears in her eyes but she's smiling as well, completely and totally proud of her daughters.
"Well, how about it, why don't we all take our kids out for a big dinner to celebrate." Kizashi, Sakura's father suggests as he and his wife Mebuki, and Sakura move in closer to join them.
"That would be awesome, can we?" Ino asks their parents.
"Yeah sure, that sounds great, you're welcome to join us too Naruto. Congratulations by the way, we're really proud of you as well." Megumi says with a smile as Naruto finally joins them.
Naruto bows, he really wasn't one for manners or formality, all of those social rules seemed silly to him, but he really liked and respected Mrs. Yamanaka so he tried to be good when around her. "Thanks, and I would love to join you but… um, well there's this thing I have to work on, but thanks for the invitation."
"Are you sure, you know that you're more than welcome." Inoichi throws in. He would always feel a little disappointment at the fact that his girls hadn't bonded with Shikaku's and Chouza's boys like he had hoped, after all they were his best friends, but that didn't mean he didn't like Naruto or Sakura. On the contrary, he thought the world of both of them and that they were both very good friends for his two girls to have.
"Yeah, come on Naruto, you have to join us." Quinn says, "We all graduated, this is a time for us to be together as a family."
Naruto could feel himself choke up when he hears Rin refer to him as family, which only firmed his resolve. "I'd love to but I have this thing I need to do."
"What thing?" Ino asks.
Naruto chuckles nervously, "It's nothing really… well it's not nothing, but it's a surprise and I'll tell you all about it tomorrow, but it can't wait. It's really awesome though… or it will be, believe it!" He says with a giant grin and a thumbs up.
Quinn looks at him suspiciously, "You aren't going to pull a prank or something are you, like you aren't going to paint the Hokage's Monument or something else like that?"
Naruto's eyes light up while Sakura and Ino groan. "Don't give him ideas." Sakura scolds her.
Naruto chuckles, "No, I hadn't thought of doing that! I'll have to give it a try sometime, but no, tonight is something else entirely."
Quinn decides to scan Naruto, worried that he might not be coming with them because he felt uncomfortable or like an intruder, and she wasn't going to let him miss out because of it. But when she gets a read on his emotions he seems super happy, almost bursting with excitement. Whatever it was he had planned, he was really excited for.
She smiles at her friend and as she subdues her ability pulls him in for a hug. "Alright, but you better tell us all about it tomorrow. Deal?"
"Deal. I'll see you guys tomorrow okay?" He says with a wave as turns around and takes off.
"Is he okay?" Ino asks, with Sakura looking on worried as well.
"He's fantastic, in fact I don't think I've ever seen him this excited before." Quinn answers.
"Well, if everything is good, then let's go out to eat." Inoichi says, "Where would you all like to go?"

Quinn was sitting on her bed in meditation, the black fire of the Amaterasu was still haunting the peripherals of her dreams but she found that a good half an hour of meditation right before she went to bed usually kept it suppressed. Meanwhile Ino was over on her bed reading and giggling over some kind of article in one of her magazines. Quinn lifts her head up in concern when she senses her father approaching, he seems deeply troubled.
"Dad's coming, something's wrong." Quinn informs Ino who puts down her magazine as their father knocks and then enters their room.
"What's wrong daddy?" Ino asks, seeing the troubled look on her father's face.
"Do you two know how Naruto might try to leave the village?" He asks them seriously.
Both Quinn and Ino can't help but snort at that, it sounded ridiculous, nobody loved Konoha more than Naruto did. "Leave the village, that's crazy." Ino says in disbelief.
"Yeah daddy, why would Naruto leave Konoha, what's going on?"
"Girls, I don't know how to say this, but Naruto…"
Quinn and Ino exchange an anxious look.
"Naruto what, what's going on, is he okay?" Quinn asks nervously, Ino is listening in as well, both girls worried about their friend.
Inoichi sighs, "I'm still not quite sure what to make of it, but Naruto has stolen a top secret scroll, filled with forbidden jutsu. If that scroll were to get into the hands of an enemy of the village there is no telling the kind of trouble that could mean for all of us. I just want to find him, but there is talk among the ranks of him going rogue and some of those searching for him aren't as inclined as I am to ask questions."
Quinn is on her feet instantly, "I'll find him!"

Author's Note. So, I feel like this is kind of where the real story begins. We're finally in step with the anime. Some changes will be obvious, other's will be a little more subtle. With the graduation test I needed something that could explain how someone like Lee could graduate without being able to perform any ninjutsu or genjutsu, and so to me the final exam wasn't an all or nothing kind of test, it was just worth a huge enough part of the final grade that if you weren't well rounded everywhere else it could make or break you. Someone like Lee who can't use ninjutsu or genjutsu, is still skilled enough in the other areas of ninjutsu that being unable to create a clone and the like would hurt his final grade, maybe even guarantee a dead last position, but you could still graduate. It's why Naruto could fail this test and still pass. As always, please excuse any spelling and grammar errors, I try to catch them all but I know I'm not always successful. Anyway I hope you all enjoyed the chapter.
