Authors Note: Should I have Natsumi go on here training trip with Jariah or should she stay in Konoha and train with Kagami. Give me your opinions on what you would like to see me write and I may end up putting your ideas in if it fits in will with my story.

Marino Ibiki was way more intimidating in real life then he ever was in the anime. I calmed myself down, which was hard to do in such an intense atmosphere and Ibiki, started explaining the rules. He said exactly the same thing in the anime and I was seated next to Hinata and Shikamaru. The questions were college level material and I was able to answer 6 of the questions in complete confidence. The other 3 I was a little iffy on as they gave me mission scenarios and I had to give an explanation on what to do in order to prevent more casualties from happening then there had to be made. I flipped my paper over and decided to sit there and wait. I couldn't look around the room or the examiners might think I'm cheating and throw my team out of the exam. 30 minutes passed and Ibiki finally called for everyone to stop. "Alright, its time for the tenth question. If you take this question and fail then your team will never be allowed to take this exam ever again." The caused a loud uproar, with everyone yelling at Ibiki saying that he couldn't do that and he shouted, "Quite, if you don't want to take the question you are free to leave and can try again next year. Now is the time to chose if you want to stay or leave." This caused the whole room to become completely silent before a Taki ninja gets up, "I'm sorry guys but I can't take it, we will have better luck next year." This started a chain reaction and more teams got up and left. Natsumi stood up and banged her hand on the desk, "I'm not scared of your stupid question. I doesn't matter if I'm stuck as a genin forever, I will become the Hokage no matter what!"

Natsumi's declaration inspired the rest of the ninja to stay and Ibiki sighed, "You all pass." "What" most of the class yelled in confusion? Ibiki explained, " As a ninja you are forced to make decisions that could be vital towards your villages survival and you cannot hesitate to act quickly or you risk the downfall of your village." A confused Natsumi asked, "Then what were the other 9 questions for, just a big waste of our time" Ibiki shook his head, "Most of the question were impossible for most of you to answer so it would make you resort to doing one thing, cheating." Kiba stands up and complains, "but you told us not to cheat and you even threw out the ones that were caught cheating." "Yes, the ones who were caught, but as a ninja one must learn how to gather information without getting caught. If you were sent on a mission to spy on an enemy village and were caught in the process of gathering information you would be tortured for any little information you have and get killed." Kiba sat down and Ibiki went on "Now that first phase-" He didn't get finish before Anko crashed through the window. "Wow Ibiki, there are still so many teams, you're getting to soft." Ibiki just grunted annoyed and said "let just get a move on with this exam" Anko stuck her tongue out at Ibiki and grinned, "all of you follow me to the Forest of Death."

Once we got there she handed us the waivers and explained to us that we both needed the heaven and earth scrolls to pass. My team went to our starting position and waited for the signal to start. "Natsumi, make a believable copy of the heaven scroll and put it in your bag. Put the real heaven scroll in one of your sealing scrolls and give it to Satsuki. Natsumi nodded and used her calligraphy skills to make a convincing copy. She finished it quickly and put the copy in her poach and handed Satsuki the real one. "Lets run straight to the tower and we could ambush a team before they enter the tower." They both agreed to my plan and an explosion went off, signaling us to start. We ran for a couple hours before we had to stop, "Sorry guy but I have to pee, wait here I'll be back in a minute." Satsuki made a disgusted face and I sigh, "ok, be careful." She disappeared into the trees and appeared back within 5 minutes. "Hey guys re-" she was interrupted when I encase everything but her head in crystal. "Nice try, but Natsumi has her ninja pouch on her left leg, not her right." He releases the henge and I knock him out and remove the crystals. I check his poach and found that he was carrying the earth scroll. "Where's Nat-" I was interrupted by Natsumi appearing and throwing two beat up and unconscious ninja on the ground. "Those perverts were trying to watch me as I was peeing," she said with a red face. I calmed her down while Satsuke tied them all up, "lets head to the tower now, no need to stay here longer than we need to. " I handed her the earth scroll and she sealed it in a sealing scroll and handed it to Satsuki.

We tree hoped for most of the day and found a cave to camp in for the night. I encased the entrance with clear crystals to provide us with extra protection and we started eating the ration bars we saved for the exam. We all went to sleep without worry as the only way to break the crystal entrance would be a decent size jutsu or an explosion, and that would alert us, as they tend to cause a lot of noise. The next morning we had another helping of rations bars and headed towards the towers. As we were tree jumping we were surprised by a sudden gale of wind knocking us out of the air. "Kukuku, what do we have here, the kyuubi brat, a boy with two bloodlines, and one of the last Uchihia's, how lucky am I. It's going to be a lot of fun playing with you" and he release a heavy pressure on all of us, paralyzing us in place. I was the first to get out of it and I attacked with crystal shuriken. He spun a kunai lazily in his hand and swatted them away like they were nothing. "Kukuku is that all you got, I guess that it's my turn" and he summoned a giant snake. He created a giant wind and separated Natsumi from us, sending the snake after her. I had no time to worry about her as Orochimaru attacked me. I was quickly overwhelmed by his superior taijutsu and speed, and Orochimaru threw up a sword from his mouth and stabbed me through the heart. I stopped moving and shatter into crystals, showing that it was a crystal clone. I try surprising him by using kawairmi to get in back of him and pierce him with a crystal sword. Once my sword stabs through his back he turns into mud, showing that it was a mud clone. "Kukuku, you're not as bad as I first thought, but sadly I don't need you right know." He appears in front of me before I could react and stabbed me in the stomach and knocked me out with a chop to the neck.

Natsumi POV

This was just great, first I get separated from my team and now I'm in a giant snakes belly. I try piercing through it with a kunai but it just bounces off the insides of the snake. "I am not going to die like this. I still haven't become the Hokage yet!" I gather as much chakra as I can "Shadow Clone Jutsu" and I Summoned thousands of clones making the snake explode from the inside. Gross, I'm covered in snake guts. I then remember my teammates are in trouble and ran to go help them. When I got there I could see Kagami-kun on the floor bleeding and Satsuki was still paralyzed. I got angry at this snake freak for hurting Kagami-kun and red chakra started to cover my body. I ignored it and appeared in front of the enemy and slash him with my chakra claws, turning him into mud. I get even angrier when I realized it was a clone and he laughed "is the little kyuubi angry that I hurt her little friend" He summoned another big snake and sent it to attack me. I rushed towards it and punched it in the face, making it disappear in a poof of smoke. I look at Satsuki who's still doing nothing, "Why are you just standing there, help me fight or take Kagami to somewhere safe." When I turn to deal with Orochimaru his tongue extended and held me up in the air. He walked over to me and reached into my ninja poach, taking the fake heaven scroll and swallowed it whole. I made a disgusted face and he we through some hand seals, "I tire of this fight, Five Elements Seal" he pushed his now purple glowing finger into my stomach, making me go unconscious.

Satsuki

I watched as this unknown ninja dominated my team and I did nothing to help them. I just stood their doing nothing but cower like a chicken. "Why are you just standing there, help me fight or take Kagami to somewhere safe" Natsumi yelled at me. She was then immobilized be the person's tongue and knocked out with a weird jutsu. He threw her off the tree and I rushed to her and caught her. I carry her over to Kagami and laid her down next to him and turned towards the enemy ninja. "Kukuku did you finally get enough courage to face me, come and let me see if your skilled like your brother Itachi." This made my sharingan activate and I growled at him, "How do you know Itachi." He smiled, "Kukuku me and Itachi were acquaintances that worked together, now lets see how you compare to him" He rushed me and we fought in taijutsu, with him not even trying. My sharingan started to see things slower and I was able to nick his cheek. He jumped back and I threw fuuma shurikin with wire attached to them, tying him to a tree. I then set it on fire with a fireball jutsu and could see part of his face peal off. "Kukuku, I'll admit that your good, but your nowhere near Itachi's level. How about a I leave you a little gift to help you get stronger," His neck extended inhumanly and he bit me on the neck. As I start fading in and out of consciousness I could hear him say," seek me if you want to gain more power, this village will always hold you back." The pain in my neck became too overbearing and I finally blacked out.
