The first exam is exactly like in canon; a paper test inside one giant room. There are approximately 50 teams here. Meaning I have 147 potential candidates I must eliminate in this exam, 138 if I'm not counting the Konoha 11. My team is divided from each other. Satsuki is in the 3rd row on my back left while Sakura is in the 5th row on my right back. My position is precarious, why you may ask. I'm in the fricking front with Ibiki staring at me! Not in the corner but in the freaking middle! They've already targeted me as one of the more troublesome candidates and want to keep a close eye on me. 'What a mean person.'

On top of the desk is the exam paper with the blank side visible. There's no paper for scribbling, only just this one piece of paper nothing else nothing more. I feel bad for the people that are in the front row with me. They'll find it hard to cheat when the big bad just stares at you. While me? I'm not afraid at all. For the past week, I've been cramming studying material using my clone. It was a mortifying experience. I've puked so many times because im mentally tired trying to fit all of that book inside my head. 'I need Jiraiya to open the seal a little so I can make contact with Kurama. If I have Kurama chakra I can handle my mind more efficiently. Maybe, I don't know. I have headaches when using shadow clones to study. Either it's because I lack Kurama's chakra or I'm just too young that my brain isn't developed enough.'

"The exam will last one hour," Ibiki announced loudly. I smirked knowing that I'll ace the test with relative ease. When you've been taught by the Hokage advisors and prepped for your entire life for a role to lead the village, you'll tend to have confidence in yourself. "Begin!"

Turning the paper, my smug smile can be seen with clarity. 'Ok question 1 is an anagram, this will be easy.' With each pen stroke, my smile slowly faded. 'Well, that was harder than expected, but still doable.'

'Alright, question 2.'

Let Z denote the set of points in R n whose coordinates are 0 or 1. (Thus Z has 2 n elements, which are the vertices of a unit hypercube in R n .) Given a vector subspace V of R n let Z(V) denote the number of members of 7 that lie in V. Let k be given, 0 = k = n Find the maximum, over all vector subspaces VR of dimension k, of the number of points in V cap Z 0 [Editorial note: the proposers probably intended to write Z(V) for "the number of points in V cap Z prime, but this changes nothing.]

I blinked and took a deep breath to calm myself. Reading the question again I nodded to myself, pursing my lips, and scoffed using them. "Wow," I said my mind out loud without realizing it. 'Who made this!!! This is not freaking easy!!'

45 minutes later

45 minutes to answer 9 questions with 1 or 2 that I'm doubting if it's correct. Oh God, my brain, my brain hurts. How did Dad and Itachi manage to do this!! Thank God I joined a university in my previous life, or this exam will be hard. 'Now, how do I sabotage the other candidates?' The answer is, I can't. I can't use my clone because of the smoke or the kekkei Genkai God gave me; it's glowing, duh. I'm at a disadvantage here, stealth is not my forte at all. I've never made stealth a focus for my training. All of the pranks I've made do require stealth but that's just me usually having dumb luck. There's a difference between training and a hobby.

'I can't believe Mizuki is right; I'm too flashy.' I sighed and cursed my naivety for having honor in a job that is mostly honorless. As I cursed my naivety, my eyes were blinded for a second as a reflection of light hit my eyes. Looking to my left I can see an Oto shinobi beside me having a mirror under his table that is mirroring the mirror on the rooftops. 'The nerve in this guy to cheat in front of Ibiki. I respect that.' The entire class is visible and can be seen clearly from the reflection. This is convenient, too convenient even. 'Is this assistance from God!?' After a quick prayer to thank him my lips curled up a little.

'This is going to be good.' Pointing my index finger toward the mirror I gathered a substantial amount of chakra for 2 Rasengan in my index finger and transformed it into pure light. 'No. This is going to be glorious!'

'Konoha is not messing around with their exam.' I thought to myself. Most of these questions are simply ridiculous. How would they expect us to understand what a Higgs Boson is? We're ninjas for God's sake, not scientists! When some of the candidates easily answer the question it's suspicious as f#ck no way f#ck$ng genin will understand this sh$t. That's when I realized the true nature of the exam. They're not trying to test out theoretical knowledge, but practical knowledge! The only thing we can do now is cheating to pass the test. I'll give it to Konoha, they are certainly creative with their exam.

30 minutes before the exam ended I did the classic toilet excuse to "gather information". I'd already disguised Karasu, one of my puppets, as one of the examiners. Using my other puppet to see from above. With all the information I'd gathered I returned to the exam room and gave the answers to Temari.

Looking around the room The majority of people are cheating and a sizable amount of candidates have been caught. There are some exceptions. Some of the candidates that I'm 100% sure are not planted by the examiner are just answering the question flawlessly without difficulty. The pink-haired girl and the Namikaze kid. That may or may not be the prophet that the original native of Wind country talked about; a prophet that will unite us all to face the great others. Their religion told of a child, chosen by God to build the holy kingdom or something like that. With holy wings and swords forged by God's holy light to guide us all from the darkness that is encroaching. Dramatic I know. But still…

What are the odds that one of our enemies is fitting the description from said prophecy while we are trying to crush the home he's living in? I'm not religious, but even I started to believe in the possibility that he is God's chosen. And if that's true, then we are f#cked in every position imaginable. I'm not going to get in the way of a literal prophet from God! That's freaking suicide! Even if I survive or kill him, there's a high chance I'm going to hell. I tried to warn Gaara, Temari, and Baki sensei. But they just looked at me weirdly as if I'm losing my mind. Reading the holy scripture for the past 24 hours is perfectly normal when having the possibility of facing God's freaking messenger in a fight!! It's not like I'm mumbling the verses of God's scripture while I'm sleeping… Right?

(A/N: He's losing his marbles.)

Taking a deep breath I tried to calm myself; focusing on the exam at hand. 'Ok just one more question to answer and I'm done here. Let's just hope the rest of the exam is proceeding with normalcy…. I just jinxed myself, didn't I?' As if answering my question, a holy light started to appear from above, bathing us with its glory. My eyes are overwhelmed by the sheer majesty it exudes. All of us are transfixed forgetting to find the origin where it came from. I snapped and realized who did this. There is only one being that is capable of making such pure and holy light. God!

But God isn't here, his messenger is. Locking my eyes I can see that he is almost unseen, blending perfectly with the light as if he is one, to begin with. At that moment I realized that there's no denying that he is God's chosen. Everything we have planned is nothing compared to the power of God. Now I'm facing the fact that we will confront one of his apostles.

'God is real and he is cruel.'

(A/N: God is not cruel.)


Naruto

'Note to self: Don't use a Kekkei Genkai that's literally made of holy light to distract people.' I failed. I should've known that this would happen. Looking at the back row, Satsuki stared at me incredulously while Sakura just shrugged and continued to answer her exam sheet. The rest of the room was full of people mumbling and talking to each other but was immediately shushed by Ibiki's glare. Some who are from Suna are praying while holding a book saying something along the line that the chosen one is here. Of course, I know who they are talking about. It's Me!

I did some research on the Land of Wind religion and I found that the natives of the land of wind, which is this world version of Arabs, are driven to live in the expanse of the great northern desert by the current ruling race. They were outclassed because of their lack of chakra wielders in their population; forced to live in man-made caves carved into mountains. Their fighting style is deadly against ninjas as they've mastered a way to fight our kind by honing their skills on how to kill a shinobi efficiently and acquiring some children that have unnatural amounts of chakra; mixing them into their population. Their last stronghold is in the north near Iwa, a mountainous and technically lush land that is surrounded by endless desert making them hard to invade because of its geography.

For hundreds of years, they fought for survival making them a people that are bred for war. Being subjected to Genocide and committing counter-genocide themselves does that to a society. Sick of the endless fighting and bloodshed, their kind has to endure and committed, they've broken a peace deal with Wind country and agreed to join them. In exchange, they'll have autonomy except in matters of diplomacy and international relations. Despite the peace, they are still being discriminated against. Seen as lower beings, which causes civil tension in the region. These days they have a strenuous fragile peace that can explode at any time with Wind Country.

Most of their economy is reliant on selling a weird plant that is a mix of opioids and marijuana-like plants to Sunagakure to become medicine and a surprisingly safe narcotic. Their culture is optimized to live in the desert with a specialized suit to reduce excessive moisture being lost and have a weird way of walking to maintain stealth. We just need multiple big-ass worms and you'll have Dune with elements of Afghanistan. 'Which is a scary thought.'

Anyway, I just did an info dump; what was I talking about again? right, their religion. Damn my possible ADHD. In their religion, they talked about a savior that will save them from centuries of discrimination, and get this, they called this chosen one the Mahdi. So we also have a mix of Islam and Judaism. Some of their people have moved to Sunagakure and spread their religion and culture. Making Wind country in my list of countries to conq- I mean unite, yeah unite, their belief in God would make it easy for me to unite them.

"We will begin the tenth question," Ibiki announced. Well, then this one is easy. I'm not being overconfident. I know it's easy. I trust Satsuki and Sakura and know they won't break easily. Hinata though… How can I help her? If I screamed at the top of my lungs claiming that I'll be Hokage and all that cringe-fest friendship speech. The memories will forever be etched in my mind. 'Ugh, this is gonna be embarrassing. Or, I could just leave Hina- No! Bad mind!'

"Now before we get to it I'd like to address a few rules to the question." The whole room tensed for a second. "First for this 10th question you must decide whether you would take the question or not."

"Choose?!! What happens if we choose not to?!" A random girl I've heard from the back. Ibiki's eyes darken and his lips twisted up.

"If you choose not to, I'll have to reduce your points to zero… you fail along with your two teammates.

"What does that mean?!!"

"Then of course we will decide to take the question!!" Damn, he's really good at riling up people.

"This leads me to the second rule. If you choose to take it and answer incorrectly. The person will lose the right to take a chunin exam permanently." As if in Que some of the Konoha shinobi leave the room, catching everyone's attention and just generally destroying people's will to take the exam. Looking back I can see that Hinata isn't going to give up. A determined look can be seen on her face. 'That's good I don't have to shout cringe stuff. Whew.' Where did Hinata get her confidence? 'It's the holy light, isn't it?'

In fact, it's not just Hinata who is unusually determined. "I ask you again, are you ready to put your future chances to be a chunin? This is your last chance." More people gave up but the room was still crowded.

A smirk can be seen on Ibiki's face. "For those who've stayed… congratulations. you've passed." The class went into an uproar.

"What!!"

"But huh!"

To the 97 that remain. Congratulations on passing the first exam."

'Whyyyyy!!!!! Whyyyy!!!! This… is agonizing.' How the freak that happened I was going to reduce competition not increase it!!"

Temari asked about the purpose of the exam and Ibiki just answered like in canon. Feeling a chakra fastly approaching us I turned my attention to the wind on the left. The window's broken. A purple-haired lady entered and immediately put up a banner by throwing two Kunais. "You guys, this is no time for celebrating. I am the examiner for the second test, Mitarashi Anko! Now let's go! Follow me!!" Such scandalous clothing. I twitched my eyes.

"You're too early." Anko slightly blushed in embarrassment but quickly shakes it off.

"96! Ibiki you left 32 teams for me to work on." Said Anko

"This time there's a hindrance in the exam." Ibiki slightly glared at me. Anko following Ibiki's eyes blink seeing me.

"I should've known. No matter, at least I'm going to cut them in half in the second test.' She said darkly.


Yes, I know it's short; I'm busy with school again.

Fun fact I wrote this fic because I was inspired by Dune. And it delighted me that I can finally write this arc. I've been waiting to write this arc for months! Finally, this may-sue character will have a slap on the face. Oh, it's going to be so fun to write lol.

Man, every time I try to write God in a bad light from a character perspective it just feels wrong. My heart is clenched and it's hard to breathe. There's a foreboding feeling inside me. It feels like I'm committing a sin just writing that God is cruel.

It's an unnerving feeling to have and also unexplainable. It just feels wrong. I can't form the words to describe the feeling lol.

Next week is going to be busy for me so I'll have to take another hiatus.
