Chapter Twelve- The whisper of demons (Chapter 41 in the real Naruto)

Ibiki said 'You have one hour... starting... NOW!". I flipped over my test and... Noooo... cryptography... the thing I wished was never invented. Well mind-reading abilities sure come in handy in times like this, soon I found someone who had already passed the exam but was brought back so that we would have someone to cheat off of that had all the right answers. Soon I had all the answers down, and I was stuck waiting. After at least five minutes those that figured out you're supposed to cheat started cheating, Naruto was not one of the ones who had figured out it out even though time was running out. Then a kuhai blew past Naruto's arm and landed in the middle of the person right behind Naruto's paper! The person whose paper had been jabbed said "Wh-what was that for?" then a proctor that looked eerily similar to the person who was blocking the door to the room with the sign that had an force-field illusion that made it look like room 301 said "That's five strikes... and you're out! Take your teammates with you. Out of this classroom. NOW." {In the real Naruto manga this is where chapter 42 starts but this 'chapter' so far is too short for my taste. 3}

Now there is only half an hour left and everybody is working hard to finish. Soon Ino falls 'asleep' and Sakura starts acting funny. A few more teams are disqualified, and that brings the total to fifteen cells flunked so far. Then one of the people who had got disqualified for cheating slammed his had on the desk and stood up and said "Cheated five times?! Me?! What proof do you have? How could you possibly watch this many students at once?!" then the proctor who had told him to leave slammed him into a wall then he said "Listen up and listen good. We proctors are the elite. Even in a group as skilled as the one gathered here today, we are far and away the best. We miss nothing! you got that kids? You feel this Well, I am as skilled as I am powerful!" Then the kid left and the room returned to silence, which was weird because no one said there had to be silence. After another five minutes one of the people from the sand asked to go to the restroom, while he was gone the time came for the tenth question.

{This would be the start of the 43 chapter in the real Naruto... yet this 'chapter is still to short for my taste}

Everyone else tensed up and Ibiki said "And before we get to the question itself... i'm going to add a mew rule." a few seconds later the sand kid got back from the bathroom and Ibiki said "heh... looks like you're in luck. The time you spent playing with dolls hasn't been completely wasted. Don't worry about it. Sit down. Let me explain. This rule... is absolute. First... you must choose... whether to accept or reject this tenth question!" then one of the other sand kids said "Ch-choose? What happens if someone doesn't accept the question?!" after a moment Ibiki continued "If you reject the question and don't even try to answer it, you'll lose all your points immediately... and fail! And both of your teammates will fail right along with you." then some people said "Say What?!" then the person sitting next to him said "Then why would anyone choose to reject it?" Ibiki answered "Because... of the other rule. If you try to answer the question... and you get it wrong... you will never be permitted for the journeyman ninja exams again. Not ever.".

Then Kiba shouted "You can't be serious. That's ridiculous! There are ninja who've sat here for the chunin exams more than once already! We know there are!" Ibiki said "Heh heh... Heh heh heh heh. Just your rotten luck. I wasn't making the rules in past years. I am now. I've been up front with you. You can take a failing grade now, and try again later. Anyone who has doubts would be smart to reject the tenth question right now. Come back and reapply next year, and the year after that. Ready? Let's begin. Those who choose not to accept should raise their hands. Once their number has been confirmed, they will leave the room." silence instantly filled the the room the person sitting next to Naruto raised his hand and said "I-I... I QUITE! I'M REJECTING THE QUESTION!Gennai! Inaho! Please forgive me!" then one after another people rejected the question.

Naruto was holding his hand down and trembling... like he did before he shouted that he was going to beat everybody in the room, I know somethings coming... but, it isn't defeat. Naruto raised his hand, and then he shouted "NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ME! I DON'T QUIT, AND I WON'T RUN! I'LL ACCEPT YOUR STUPID QUESTION! EVEN IF I RISK ENDING UP A ROOKIE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE... I'LL STILL BECOME HOKAGE, EVEN IF I CAN ONLY MAKE IT BY PURE STUBBORNNESS. I DON'T CARE! I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU!" Ibiki then said "I'll ask you one last time. This is a decision that could affect the rest of your life. Quit now while you have still have the chance." Naruto then replied "I never go back on my word. Thats... my shinobi way!" after a few seconds Ibiki looked at the other proctors and they nodded Ibiki then said "Good call. So, everyone who is still here... You've just passed the first exam!"

End Chapter Twelve {Finally a length that will work, actually end chapter 43, from here on out I will use the chapter name in the real manga! 3}
