"Alright Maggots sit down its time for the first exam" came a voice as a large man with scars all over his face walked in and stood behind the desk.
"My name is Ibiki Morino, and I will be the proctor for the first test you will have one hour to answer the 10 questions you will not be given the final question until the final ten minutes if you are caught cheating for a total of 5 times you and your team will be disqualified. That said you can use what ever jutsu or abilities you want to get the answers you begin now!" he finished and sat down and smirked at the looks of horror on the genin's face when they saw the questions.
Narutos eyes widened looking at the questions in front. They were easily jonin level. No genin except Shikamaaru could solve them. And that was because of his insane intelligence. Suddenly a look of realisation dawned on Narutos face. "Its a test to gather information. He said we could use any tool needed to gain the information. So we need to cheat in an undetectable way."
Smirking to himself he closed his eyes and started focusing on the chakras around him. They were all anxious, worried, confused and afraid. Except for two signatures. Naruto then focused before he found one of them. Said Ninja was sitting infront of him.
"Those two must have been planted as information beacons for the other genins to use." Naruto thought as he activated his sharingan and copied the writing pattern of the jonin sitting in front of him. In mere minutes he was finished. He turned his paper around and started looking at how the other rookies were doing.
Sayuri like him had used her sharingan to copy the writing of someone who was fluently writing. Hinata was using her byakugan to spot and write the answers she could find in the room. Shino was using his bugs to find the answers. Sakura thanks to her reading habits had answered most of the questions correctly.
Ino had used her clans mind transfer jutsu to take over sakura and then read her answers. Shikamaaru already knew them and used his shadow connecting jutsu to help chouji. Yakumo had used a mirror like genjutsu only visible to her to find the answers. Naruto then turned to look at his sisters and best friend.
He wasnt surprised when he found all 3 of the sweating. Sighing he summoned 3 small toads. He supplied them with the answers and sent one each to Narumi, Mito and Eizen. After a few minutes the toads disappeared. Naruto looked at Eizen who grinned at him, grinning back they had a mental conversation.
"Thanks."
"Anytime."
Turning his attention to his sisters he saw them crying anime tears. He already knew the reason for that. It was because he had promised to cook for them if they took there theoretical study seriously. He knew they tried but some how thanks to the dominant Uzumaki genes they werent able to just sit and read.
He himself knew that the threat he had given them was an empty one. His sisters had a soft spot in his heart. Which was why he decided he would cook them ramen as a good effort for at least trying. He chuckled as he remembered his sisters antics.
He then focused on the Suna and kumo teams. He saw that the cat boy kankuro had used a puppet of his to get the answers for him. Gaara had created a 3rd eye out of his sand and had sent it around the room spotting answers. Temari had used a little burst of wind to replace her test with one that had all the answers done.
Naruto was surprised when he saw the coordination being displayed by the kumo team. Samui was the writing the answers on small paper pieces before discreetly passing to omoi who after noting the answers sent it towards karui disguised as a lolipop.
After he was done observing he suddenly turned unnaturally serious and met ibikis eyes. He then made some discreet signs with his fingers towards Ibiki. Ibiki became shocked when he saw the handsigns. Those were used by ANBUs to send messages in the group without alerting the enemy. He then payed attention to what the message was saying.
"Kabuto Yakushi is orochimaarus spy." He told Ibiki through handsigns.
Ibikis eyes widened before he hardened them and discreetly used his fingers to say "Are you sure?"
"Positive. He has information that should only be accessible to those with jonin level clearance. And he has a distinct scent of snakes on him." Naruto replied.
Nodding Ibiki discreetly signalled the ANBU to be on gaurd he decided to take this information to the hokage as soon as the test was over. He then looked at Naruto who nodded and leaned back in his seat closing his eyes. Ibiki looked at Naruto before a look of recognition dawned in his eyes.
"So thats Itachis brat. It seems like he is as good as they say." Ibiki thought before giving wry smile at the Irony of the situation. The test was to gather information in a tight position, but some how the kid had secured information that could potentially save the village.
"Life sure is ironic Minato. You beat orochimaaru for the seat and now your son is screwing up orochimaarus plan." Ibiki thought as he remembered his old teammate and friend.
After 45 mins Ibiki shouted and said. "Alright maggots your time is up. Now its time for the tenth question. You have a choice on whether you wish to take it or not."
"Of course we will take it." A random genin shouted back.
Ibiki smirked and said "Well if you answer the question wrong you won't be able to take the exams again in your career. And if one of your team members gives up the whole team fails but can always take the test again. So decide."
"You cant do that!!!" Kiba shouted.
"Of course I can In these exams I am the god. My word goes on whether your sorry asses pass or not." Ibiki replied back.
"But there are so many people who have taken this exam more than once." Karui shouted.
"Well tough luck to be you guys. Now you decide whether you will take the question or not." Ibiki replied with a smirk.
Suddenly the tension in the room sky rocketed. Genins from nearly all the teams could be seen sweating, with a few hyperventilating. A few moments later several hands went up into the air and several teams let the room.
The tension in the room was effecting everyone except naruto. He was simply laying back in his seat with his eyes closed.
The sight of him relaxed infuriated Ibiki a little. He was used to people quivering in his presence. Some one this relaxed was something unnerving even to him.
"You blondie you think you can take the question?" Ibiki yelled as he pointed at Naruto.
"Sure why not." Naruto lazily replied back.
"Are you ready for the consequences in tje case that you fail?" Ibiki said trying to darken Naruto with self doubt.
"Nah not really. Even if I am a permanent genin, my dream wont be affected. After all if I become the strongest ninja in the village I will be bound to become the Hokage." Naruto casually replied with a smirk letting Ibiki know that his attempts had been foiled.
Ibiki looked around the room and saw that no one else was really leaving so he sighed and said "Everyone who stayed... passes.!!!!".
After a few seconds a combined shout of "WHAAAAAAT." rang out in the classroom as Ibiki began to explain the true purpose of the test.
"The real purpose of the first 9 questions was to see how good your information gathering was. You will be given missions as chuunin that require you to collect information in very unfavorable and taxing conditions. The 9 questions were used to judge how you gathered and relayed that information." Ibiki said.
"What about the 10th question?" Samui asked.
"Yo bandanna man mind if I answer this one?" Naruto lazily asked.
Ibikis eyes twitched at the nickname before he stiffly nodded and Naruto said "The choice to take the tenth question was the real question. In our lives as ninja there will instances of missions with high loss probability. There is a high risk of being caught or killed. In that moment we can't decide whether to take the mission or not. So we should always be ready to take risks. Aint that right bandanna man?"
"He is correct however...(removes bandanna revealing a scarred head) one should be mentally strong. If you are caught by enemy shinobis they will torture you to the bone to find information. You must remember to keep the village ahead of yourself at all times so that you dont give away any information." Ibiki answered as he elicted gasps from the class who greatly became unnerved by the site of the scars. Naruto however wasn't effected as his own body was a beacon of scars that he always watched before leaving.
Before anyone could reply a purple blur jumped in the room and broke the window. In a puff of smoke a large sign appeared which read "Proctor for the second exam, the sexy and the single Anko Mitarashi."
All the girls except samui, were looking on envy at Anko beauty while the boys except naruto were drooling. Naruto then quickly wrote a 9 on paper over the message "You rock Anko neechan.
Looking at the score anko gave a fake hurt look and said "Aww gaki that was surely a 10. You hurt nee chans feelings."
"Neechan that point got knocked off because you were early. And dont sell yourself short a 9 is amazing." Naruto replied looking at his crazy older sister of a figure who had trained him in evasion when he was a kid.
"Aww gaki you sure know how to cheer me up. Oi Ibiki I am not early am I?" She asked.
"Yup you are early again Anko." He said as Anko blushed in embarrassment and Naruto snickered.
Anko shuushin straight to him and bonked him on the head.
"Oww what was that for nee chan?" naruto asked as he rubbed his head. The closeness shared by the two didnt go unnoticed by the room. As more than one girl had there eyes narrowed at Anko.
The twins didnt like the idea of having a crazy snake lady as an older sister. Ankos dressing went against the hyuga code which hinata frowned upon. Sayuri looked aloof, she had become even more distant after she had confronted Naruto in the wave. Now a days she remained stoic most of the time and the only person she talked to was kakashi. Even Samui had narrowed her eyes at Anko but even she herself didn't know the reason why. It was an involuntary reflex, she needed to talk to a few people regarding this.
"That was for laughing at me you brat." Anko said with a grin. Naruto just smirked mischievously causing Anko to go on the defensive as he said "Now now neechan, maybe I should tell..". He however was cut of when Anko slapped a hand on his mouth.
She then looked around the room and awkwardly chuckled saying "Its nothing don't worry about it." Anko then glared at naruto who gave her an innocent smile. After a few seconds her eyes softened up and she ruffled his hair affectionately before moving to the front of room and counting the number of teams.
Turning to Ibiki with a shocked look on her face she said "Damn Ibiki, 28 teams you must be going soft."
"Not all we have a Much better crop this year round." Ibiki replied.
"No matter by the time I am through with them they will be cut down by half." Anko said before turning to the genins. She then shouted and said "Alright maggots meet me at training ground 44 in 20 mins. You will be disqualified if you get late." She said as she jumped out of the window. Naruto sighed before moving to his sisters. He then shuushin the the three of them near the genin meeting point.
20 mins later all the genin had arrived and were awaiting the instructions. Suddenly Anko appeared and said. "Welcome to the Venue of the the second part of the exam. Its my personal playground called the Forest of death." She finished with a sadistic grin on her face that made most genin go white.
Enjoying the look on the faces of the genins she said "All of you except you blonde ( points at naruto) will be given either an earth scroll or a heaven scroll. To pass you need to collect both of them by the end of 5 days. You blonde will have to collect both of the scrolls." She finished making Naruto nod.
Kiba in all his infinite wisdom decided to speak and say "Heh whats so special about this place it doesn't look like much." As soon as he finished a kunai grazed past his cheek making a cut appear on his cheek. Before he could react anko had a kunai on his neck and she said "Its brats like you who die first."
Suddenly she felt another presence behind her, turning around she saw that it was a kusa kunoichi. The kunoichi said "I am here to return your kunai."
"Thank you, but dont you ever sneak up on me, I will kill you. Anko seriously replied.
She then moved back to the front of the genin and called out "Alright people come and sign these papers."
"What are these?" Mito asked.
"These my tomato are papers that state its in no way konohas fault if any of you end up death. And let me warn you, if you are not careful in there you wiĺl die. There are human eating plant along with animals bigger than any thing you have ever seen. Of course you don't have to sign them but you will be disqualified to take the exam." Anko gleefully answered.
A few genin immediately left not wanting to take the risk of death. Naruto calmly took his paper and signed it before closing his eyes. One thing he didnt know was that Samui was observing him. Unbeknownst to her he had been attention to her as well.
In both of there eyes they could be perfect partners. For Samui Naruto was perfect, he was strong, good heartedhearted- if the way he interacted with people was anything to go by-, he knew when to serious and when to be jolly. It was perfect.
For Naruto, Samui was the ideal kunoichi. She was strong, had a calm and collected personality and was beautiful beyond measure. Both of them hoped to get to know each other better in the future.
Soon the genins left to go to there respective entry sites. As soon as the gates were opened all the genin rushed inside hence beginning the second part of the chuunin exams.
