I do not own Boruto or D Gray Man.
Enjoy!
"If we could, we would have had that old man interrogated" said, Shikamaru Nara. "But it isn't enough to claim he knows how to control the tail beasts and get through the villages defence. We actually have to see him do it. Or we will be arresting every person doing it to look cool. That old man is extremely crafty. He basically threatened us while also not threatening us"
"Even if he did know it" said, Naruto. "He's not doing anything about it. He's not insisting on meeting me or any of the tailed beasts. He's not raising any proper alarm for us to take any serious action."
"And he's got a grandson as well" said, Shikamaru. "I wonder what that old man is teaching his grandson? Something tells me Lavi Bookman will become a terrifying figure in the future."
"Indeed" said, Kurama inside Naruto. "Knowledge can save or destroy the world depending on who has it. Knowledge needs a certain kind of person to handle it. But the true question is, it right for a single person to hold so much knowledge? A single person could manipulate anything with that kind of knowledge. That must have a very strict upbringing or it would spell doom for the entire world"
What they are worried about the most was Lavi and the events that would unfold once the old man was dead, from the kids personality he just wants to have fun, he may not be mature enough to know the consequences of just being selfish.
That's why the old were constantly worrying about the younger generation.
One day the Hokage and Bookman were going to have a long and private chat and it may be drawing near.
#Several days Written Test#
The class teacher looked at the whole class as they went through the written exam, his eyes landed on Lavi who was writing like he didn't see his teacher looking his way.
"Times up" said, their teacher and they all dropped their pencils and he took the sheets in.
When the man left, it was like everybody took a huge deep breath at once and finally confessed to one another that they cheated their way through it by looking at the question sheet a week before while Boruto didn't even need to cheat and boasted how easy it was.
He got praises from those who needed to cheat.
Lavi wisely shut up about not needing to cheat either, but hours later when the teacher was marking their scores, the man marked Borutos own with 100 percent only to have the sixth Hokage look over his shoulder seeing how much of a genius the son of his idiot of a student was.
Everybody in the village secretly admired how Kakashi didn't seem to age despite almost being 50, the man was long gone by the time Shino went down to L since he was marking aphetically.
As Shino read Lavi answers he just received shock after shock, he thought Borutos answers were that of a genius but Lavi answers put Borutos own to absolute shame, it was like he was reading from an experienced Hunter Nin from the war and he just had to give the kid a 100, the same as Boruto but in red he put down he should become a teacher or a battle strategist.
Again, Kakashi didn't see that there was somebody even more genius that Boruto in the class but he was about to find out.
Their teacher gave them two weeks to prepare for the graduation exam, it would decide if they pass or fail the year.
Everybody was so chill but Lavi made sure to eat a massive breakfast because the likelihood that the Sixth Hokage joined in with the examination that had Boruto in it, was extremely high and the guy was infamous for asking his students to starve.
Their teacher plus the other instructors appeared and told them to put a white fabric around their heads and they did so, before the three of them announced they would be battling them which had the effect of Boruto thinking it would be relaxing until his Old man showed up.
The Sixth Hokage, Kakashi Hatake.
Lavi pretended to be surprised like everybody else but he really was not.
Boruto grow up being shown a monster like him defanged, he really could not see how dangerous the man he called Old man really was and Lavi wanted to smack him for not truly getting what was happening.
Kakashi explained his bell test and Lavi really wasn't surprised that he used his most effective failing test and suddenly than all their teachers became like tv villains declaring how they wouldn't hesitate to kill all of them or fail everyone here.
Boruto continued to be stupid and like his father he throw Kunai at Kakashi only for it to reveal a log and Kakashi coolly walking into the forest.
The other adults disappeared as well and everybody ran into the woods determined to prove that it was everybody for themselves, Lavi shook his head when everybody split into their individual groups instead of sticking together.
Lavi found himself running on his own but he used his forest knowledge, to cover his scent and chakra so that he was like a ghost.
The teachers were far too preoccupied with the more brilliant physically ones to notice his actions.
That's why Konohamaru Sarutobi didn't see him coming when Lavi used a technique so low brow as the Cloak of Invisibility.
Konohamaru was battling Sarada who had awakened her Sharingan and Sumire.
The man had just defeated them both when he saw Lavi.
Lavi didn't even give the man time to be surprised when he thrust a chakra infused Kuntai into the button on the man's chest.
The thing went out like a light just as Lavi popped out of existence revealing that he was clone this whole time.
All three were shocked.
Did Konohamaru just at eliminated?
The real Lavi came down and yelled at Sarada and Sumire.
"What are you waiting for? Run!" he said, running, the girls ran after him before they know what was even happening.
"What happened back there?" said, Sarada.
"I masked my scent and Chakra before using the Cloak of Invisibility to look for a time to strike" said, Lavi. "I read up that Konohamaru-sensei doesn't know how to do this basic technique, so he does know the inner workings of it well, thus he wouldn't expect it from this exam"
Both girls were shocked.
"Now let's go save Shikadai, Inojin and Chocho" said, Lavi, hopping from brench to brench. "They are facing Anko-sensei. Anko Sensei uses snakes, one of the most agile creatures on the planet. The combination of Shik-Ino-Cho is currently terrible against her. Shikadai cannot control all those snakes, Chocho refuses to touch anything she deems icky which includes Snakes and Inojin drawings are powerless with enough force pressed onto them"
The girls continued to be shocked.
He not only did his homework on two of the teachers but also on his three classmates as well.
"I know how to win this" said, Lavi. "But we need everybody's help to pull this off. So here's the plan to get Anko-sensei"
Both of them listened.
A minute later Anko looked down at the current generation of Shik-Ino-Cho in disappointment, you would think Shikadai at most would have realised it wasn't a good idea to split up, she was about to walk away when she heard something.
Squeak.
Squeak.
What?
It can't be.
But it was.
What she saw next was a herd of forest mice heading her way, the moment the snakes on her saw them, they went crazy.
"Hey, wait!" she said, trying to control them.
It was then that Sarada, Sumire and Lavi took all off while Anko was dealing with her snakes running after the mice that had been lured to the spot.
But then she heard something.
A mouse.
But it was really.
Some of the mice were climbing into her clothing, the snakes attacked her to get the mice, while also attacking the bottom on her chest.
The button was smashed by Anko own snakes.
All six could only look on in shock.
"Lavi, your plan worked" said, Sarada.
"I know it" said, Lavi. "No matter how badass a trained snake is, it can't shake off its instincts when it sees an easy and delicious buffet before its eyes."
They allowed themselves to jump down.
Anko was stripped to just her bear clothes and no cape.
"Remember this well! You were defeated by Lavi Bookman!" said, Lavi shouting and striking a pose, she sweat dropped along with everybody else. "Now we have defeat Konohomaru-sensei and Anko-sensei. We need to go after Shino-sensei and get everybody. I know how to win this but we all have to work together"
This kid...thought Anko, he had a bit of a morn personality wise but he had defeated her using smarts alone.
"But we should rest for the night" said, Lavi. "My Chakra is spent up and I'm hungry"
And it was safe to say when Kakashi and Shino met up with Konohamaru and Anko they received one hell of a surprise.
"What happened?" said, Kakashi. "Was it Boruto?"
"No, it was Lavi" said, Konohamaru, in shame and awe.
"Lavi?" said, Kakashi.
Shino eyes went wide as he said. "Wait, he out did both of you?"
"No, he used knowledge to defeat us both" said, Anko. "He drove a group of forest mice to me. My snakes went crazy, the mice ran up my clothes and before I know it my button had been smashed by my own snakes"
She was fine because she had immunity to the poison but the button was unprotected.
"The kid took advantage of me when I was looming over two people." said, Konohamaru. "He sent a clone to thrust a Kunai into my button and then told both Sarada and the class president to run"
Kakashi blinked at that and looked at Shino for an explanation.
"Lavi Bookman, did much worse than Bortuo in terms of physic" said, Shino. "However, he far excels Boruto in the Written exam. I wouldn't be surprised if he read up on every teacher in the academy"
Lavi Bookman...I wonder how much he knows about me. Thought Kakashi, well this just made this exam far more interesting.
#Somewhere in the forest#
"Eeeh!? You guys defeated Anko-sensei and Big Brother!?" said, Boruto shocked.
"Exactly it was more like we listened to Lavi and won" said, Sarada, pushing up her glasses.
Everybody turned to Lavi who was putting his hands over the fire with an expression of totally bliss.
You would have never thought this idiot could defeat their teachers.
Finally, Lavi said. "Okay everybody gather round. I'm going to tell you how to pass this exam as a group"
Everybody was stunned, but they gathered.
"First of all," he said. "Before we can all pass, you need to know this history of this bell test"
"The history?" said, Inojin.
"Did you honestly think this was the first time the Sixth Hokage has done this?" said, Lavi stunning them all. "When the Sixth Hokage was a Jounin instruct, he did this test year after year"
"What every year? Why?" said, Sarada.
"Because out of the 15 genin teams he had" said, Lavi. "Only one team had managed to pass the test"
Everybody was shocked.
"Only one?" said, Benki.
"That's right, all the teams up to 14 had failed" said, Lavi shocking all of them.
All of them was starting to realise just how serious this test was.
"So, let me tell you who the team that passed the test was" said, Lavi. "Team 7. Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Naruto uzumaki"
The kids were hella surprised when he dropped this bomb.
"What papa and mama?" said, Sarada.
"What my old man?" said, Boruto.
"As expected from the Hokage" said, Iwabee.
They waited him to continue and after they shut up he did.
"Kakashi was infamous for failing teams before they came along" said, Lavi. "So, do you know what made them different from the rest? It was their willingness to put aside their differences and work together as a team"
He stunned them all.
"Kakashi tells every team, only one can pass to create chaos" said, Lavi. "After all, if we all think only one person can pass, we all think it has to be me. We split up and fight on our own. Haven't you ever wondered why a genin team consists of three people? They are a team. Kakashi wants to teach us to care for those who are on our team, weak or strong. Kakashi has a famous saying 'In the Ninja world, those who break the rules are scum, that's true. But those who abandon their friends are worse than scum'. Hearing this do you think such a man would pass a genin who abandons his group for glory?"
Everybody was shocked into silence.
Boruto thought back to his fight with his old man, now he understood why the man seemed angry when he saw him alone.
"You were prepared for this" said, Mitsuki.
"Well of course" said Lavi. "I thought it was a very high possibility that the Hokages Genin teacher would want to test out his student's own son who he no doubt heard was a genius. And it was even more likely that the man would fall into his test habits again. I don't have any special jitsu and or have fantastic moves like a lot of you guys but what I do best is watch and observe. And I've observed that the best of us have an ego the size of a mountain and need to take a beating, before you listen to each other. Let alone me, to talentless me"
Everybody looked at him with wide eyes, especially the elite kids who just found out Lavi let them take a beating from their sensei's just to calm their heads.
"Lavi..." said, Benki. "Has anybody told you, your pretty scary?"
"Well the fact were all here, in the world where ninjas aren't really needed, means were monsters in today's society" said, Lavi, yawning. "Take this as my final act as your classmate. I'm going to teach you guys how to ambush two of the best ninjas in the world. After all, if any of them were serious, we would have all been long dead by now. That was the worst villain acting I have ever seen"
Lavi began laughing.
But nobody was laughing.
It was then that all the children understood.
Before now, they thought this test was Borutos backyard but it had actually been Lavi's all along.
And scene!
