(A/N) Someone said do Hinata so here we are with Hinata pov! The graduation.

Saying Hinata was anxious about graduation was an understatement. Sure she'd done her fair share of taking Tenten's place on Gai's team while they trained, and done a few D-ranks like that, but she was still anxious. It was in her nature she couldn't help it.

Neji, Tenten, and Lee had begged a day off their sensei to wait for the news on their siblings, and were moving around the house and making sure things got done while everyone was nervous and twitchy.

"You'll do great," Tenten reassured Hinata for perhaps the fourth time that day, patting her head. "You're one of the top Kunoichi in your class, you'll be just fine. You have nothing you need to worry about too much."

"R-right," Hinata said. She knew she sounded doubtful, but she wasn't sure how else to sound. Not that she didn't trust Tenten or anything, but she was anxious all the same. Anxiety was not that easy to beat back with a broom.

"Come on everyone, we need to go now or we're going to be late!" Sakura shouted into the house, and there was a flurry of activity before everyone arrived at the door with their needed tools, and Tenten, Lee, and Neji standing off to the side, since they didn't have anything to do other than wait.

"Good luck!" Tenten called after them.

Hinata followed behind the rest nervously, tapping her fingers together anxiously. Naruto dropped back to walk with her, then started rambling on about one of the plants, spouting off the species and various fun facts, including what species pollinated the plant and which parts of it was edible. All of it was edible and it was pollinated mostly by butterflies and bees if anyone wanted to know.

"We're totally gonna ace this!" Naruto shouted cheerfully.

"And what about those of us who aren't ace?" Sakura replied, equally cheerful, and laughing when Naruto sent her a confused look. Hinata just barely noticed the faint flush of red on Torune's cheeks and wondered what that was about. There was a joke here and she didn't get it. Maybe she'd ask Sakura later. Yeah that sounded good. If she could beat back the anxiety enough to do it.

They reached the school and their classroom just in time. They weren't late, and were ready to take the test to become genin.

Hinata figured she'd done alright, maybe not the top of the class, but definitely not the bottom. That'd probably be Naruto, she'd watched him get distracted no less than five times by bees and a couple butterflies, drifting off into distracted land until someone chucked their pencil at him and knocked him out of it. Usually Sasuke or Sakura, since Ino was busy chucking pencils at Shikamaru to keep him awake. Everyone else was appropriately studious, so Hinata wasn't worried about them.

Final test was making a clone, something Naruto was horrific at, although Hinata did an alright one. She received her headband, tying it around her neck in favor of not messing up her hair, and hurried back out to her siblings. Half had gone already, and gotten their headbands, and half had yet to go.

"Yay!" Sakura cheered as Hinata approached them. She had already gotten her headband, and tied it around her head like a hairband.

"Good job," Ino congratulated her, her headband tied around her waist. Ino had been so confident about it and had succeeded of course.

"Thanks," Hinata mumbled, accepting the cheery hugs from her friends.

Naruto was last, of the class and of their group. He didn't come out with a headband, and Sakura pushed her sleeves up. "Alright who am I murdering!"

"No one," Naruto tried to say, only for Ino to step in.

"It was Mizuki wasn't it," Ino interrupted, narrowing her eyes. Hinata didn't like the look on her face.

"Well I can't do a clone anyway, so it doesn't particularly matter," Naruto huffed. He beckoned them in. "And besides," he continued in a much lower tone, looking around for eavesdroppers. "He said if I 'borrow' the forbidden scroll and bring it to him and learn a thing inside I can pass, and I figured we've wanted a look in that scroll for a while, so if I do that and get caught, he takes the blame, I pass, and we get to see the scroll! Win win!"

Hinata would like to go on record and say this was a bad idea. Everyone was, of course, immediately on board, as it generally went with this sort of thing.

"Okay but we have to be careful, and tell Tenten," Torune decided, and there went Hinata's last hope of salvation from this bad idea.

"Not Neji or Lee?" Shikamaru asked, amused.

"They wouldn't know common sense if it introduced itself with references," Torune replied immediately and Hinata had to agree. Not within earshot of her cousin, but she would agree.

"And if Tenten's onboard?" Naruto asked excitedly.

"Then I'll make a plan and we will execute it," Shikamaru sighed. "As troublesome as it will be."

"I can't, I have to tell my parents and Shisui," Sasuke trailed off, but Naruto nodded, grinning more subduedly.

"Of course!" Naruto chirped, followed by Kiba hopping on Sasuke's back and Keruberosu licking his face. Sasuke made a face and shoved the two off.

"I'll go with you," Hinata volunteered immediately, not wishing to get caught up in stealing the forbidden scroll.

Sasuke nodded to her, and Hinata knew he'd agreed. She was relieved she didn't need to deal with the forbidden scroll anymore.

"Let's go home then!" Kiba shouted, grabbing onto Keruberosu's neck and swinging himself on top of the massive dog. Keruberosu had continued growing, and was still taller than Kiba, much to Kiba's annoyance. On the plus side it seemed like he'd be able to ride the dog forever and wouldn't grow out of that.

Hinata knew they'd done it when two chuunin came by the cemetery to ask her and Sasuke if they'd seen their siblings. They hadn't, and hadn't been involved in the planning process, so they didn't know where they might be either.

The shinobi passed on quickly, realizing Hinata and Sasuke had nothing to do with it.

"I'll send a crow to warn them," Sasuke sighed after they'd left. "See, this is what your contract is getting used for, Shisui. Making sure the siblings aren't doing too stupid of things."

Hinata giggled at that, even as Sasuke bit his thumb and summoned one of the crows. It raised a judgemental eye at them, but nodded and flew off.

"Tenten'll send him back if there's an issue," Sasuke decided, turning back to the graves.

In the end no one was punished, Naruto was a genin, and multiple people had new things to try out. Naruto had shadow clones, Tenten had a copy of the instructions for hiraishin, although she didn't actually want to use it, it wasn't up her plans for her future, so she was going to teach it to Sakura, who had expressed an interest in it. She had the chakra control for it anyway, so it wasn't like it was going to be too much of an issue. It'd still be a few years before either of them could pull it off though. Hinata didn't know anything about seals, so she left them to it.

Now all they had to do was learn who their sensei were going to be. Hinata expected only chaos from the next day, as seemed to follow them everywhere.

(A/N) It'll be canon teams. I'm just saying that now. I swear I meant to get to noting their teams this chapter. Obviously I didn't. Remember the Gai chapter? There'll be one of the three sensei next time. Probably Kakashi. Expect a slightly(or really, who knows) long chapter.
