The Beginning of the End

After that little incident, Naruto changed forever. He may seemed to act like his old self, but that was all just a mask. The mask was to hide his true intentions for the future of Konohagakure. No one knew about this mask and those who did couldn't find any clues leading to it. In the end, everyone just thought of him as the village idiot and pariah.

Genin Exams

All was bright and well off in the Village of the Leaf today. You could see moving in the streets in the early morning preparing themselves for their daily lives. Shopkeepers getting their shops ready and shinobi jumping from roof to roof. Everything was in order and everyone was happy.

"NOOOOO! I AM OUT OF RAMEN!" except that.

"INSOLENT RAT, MUST YOU ALWAYS KEEP ON YOUR ANNOYING MASK?" replied a ticked off Kyuubi.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN MASK! I AM OUT OF RAMEN! THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER!"

"FORGET THE RAMEN FOR NOW AND GO PASS THE PITIFUL EXCUSE OF AN EXAM, SO WE CAN BEGAN OUR DREAMS!"

"But the..."

"BUT NOTHING! When you pass the exam, we will then get the ramen."

"Fine then," sulked a ramen-obsessed Naruto.

Time Skip

Naruto walked up to the Academy wearing his everyday clothes consisting of a hideous orange jumpsuit, shinobi sandals, kunai holster, and goggles. Where the goggles and jumpsuit came from, nobody knew. He was just wearing it one day and nobody dared to question him.

As Naruto came up to his room, he was nearly run over by the Fan Girls. "DAMN FAN GIRLS!" Naruto though to himself.

"Just be happy they are all over the prick avenger instead of you," replied a humourous demon.

"For once I agree with you" shuddered Naruto.

When he got to his desk, one of the few people he respected stepped into the classroom. Iruka-sensei, as his students called him, stepped into the classroom ever so quietly...and yelled,"QUIET DOWN YOU BRATS!".

The next thing you knew everyone was in their chairs acting like angles. Not a single sound could be heard except for the occasional chirping sounds coming from outside. At that point, everyone was deadly serious because that day was the Genin Exams.

"O.K. class, today we will be taking the Genin Exam. You make quit anytime during the exam, but know this, if you do you will fail and not become a shinobi. The Exam will consist of three parts. Part one is a written exam, two is a taijutsu exam, and the last is a surprise," replied a serious Iruka.

While this was going on, a blonde child had his head down on the desk. To everyone around him, he seemed to be asleep, but in reality he was having a conversation with his tenant.

"So you really want me to pass this exam, right?"

"Yes I do. Failing two times is enough. Now is the time to show our potential."

"Fine, fine," replied backa bored blonde just as an eraser hit his head.

"OOOOOO IRUKA-SENSEI! DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO THROW THAT?" yelled Naruto.

"Yes I did. O.K. people, clear off your desks, it's for the first part of the exam," Iruka told his soon-to-be-for-most-of-them graduating class.

After all the tests were passed out, all the students diligently started on them. The questions were simple consisting of only 30 questions about history and shinobi. At most, the longest time took to finish the test was 24 minutes and that was because the person had to sharpen her pencil.

After the time was up, Iruka explained,"O.K. people, now go outside and meet Mizuki-sensei for the taijutsu part of the exam and I will meet you out there."

As the students left, they didn't notice the eerie smile on Iruka's face.
