Seals are limitless you know. They can anything you can think of and more. Sure their complicated, but you just need a bit of imagination. ~ Kunia Uzumaki explaining seals to the Uzumaki children.
Kira didn't really care much for anything else that happened after Naruto yelled about him not losing to anyone, but instead when she saw a scarred man yell "SHUT THE HELL UP AND SIT DOWN!" right when he disappeared along with a bunch of other chūnin "Thanks for waiting. I'm Ibiki Morino, the proctor for the first part of the chūnin exams. Otogakure Shinobi, quit doing as you please before the exams, unless you want to be disqualified."
"I apologize, this is our first time, we got carried away" One of the Oto Nin, who looked like a mummy, stated.
"Excuses won't get you anywhere here." Kira spoke up from her lazy position near the front.
"She's right." Ibiki stated with a sadistic grin "Anyway, nows as good a time to say it as any. There will be no fighting without the given permission of the examiner. Even if permission is given killing is forbidden. The pigs that disobey me will be disqualified immediately. Do I make myself clear? Now then. We will start the first part of the chūnin exams. You will come up here and grab a tab, and sit in the seat assigned. We will en hand out the exams."
Kira sighed, as she heard Naruto yell about a written exams. She then walked up to the big scarred man and gave him a smile "You do your job well. I could give you some tips though, being on the run tends to make you more... Creative."
Ibiki's grinned right back at the girl and said "After the second part, come see me in the T&I division. I'll see what you have."
Kira just nodded, completely ignoring the looks towards her, and she grabbed a tab that said '73' on it. She put the tab back down as she went towards her seat and sat down, not recognizing anyone that was around her. Eventually the whole place was full and the Kira looked around to see that Shiro was in the back left, while karin was in the front right. She was somewhere near the middle, so it was a good thing for them. They were spread out so that they could easily get information, depending on what they were trying to get. She was knocked out of her thoughts, however, when Ibiki continued.
"Do not turn your test over and listen closely to what I have to say. There are some important rules to this first test. I'll write them on the board, but questions are not allowed so listen carefully. The first rule. You all will start off with ten points and there are ten question. This test, however uses a subtraction system. Basically if you get all the questions right, you will get ten points. Similarly, if you get three questions wrong you will get seven points." Ibiki stated with a smirk "The second rule, is that this is a team test. Whether you pass or not will be determined by the combined score of you and your teammates. So each team will compete to see who can hold to the most of the initial thirty points."
"Wait a second! I don't understand the initial point system, but why is it a team test?" Sakura yelled from her seat.
"Shut up. You don't have the right to question me. There is a reason for this, so be quiet and listen. Ok and for the most important rule. The third rule is that anyone caught by the testing officers doing sneaky activity, namely cheating, will have two points deducted for every offense. So there will be some that will lose all their points During the exam and be asked to leave. Realize that the pathetic ones that get caught cheating will be destroying themselves. As Shinobi trying to achieve the level of chūnin be proud as Shinobi. And the final rule, those that lose all their initial points during the test and those that don't answer any questions correctly will be failed along with their two teammates." Ibiki stated with sadistic grin again "The exam will last one hour. Begin!"
The second that Ibiki said begin, Kira started to tap her pencil against her desk in a way that was similar to morse code. The message she sent first was 'the test is about information gathering. Either of you near a planted chūnin?'
The first to respond was Shiro as he sent 'I see one behind you to the right. The second one is two rows down from you to the left. Last one is in the very front, directly in front of karin.'
Karin was the next to respond as she sent 'Already got him in my sights. Be carful you two. We are already attracting attention from the chūnin examiners. They haven't marked us yet, but I think they know we're doing something.'
Kira looked around discreetly to see that Karin was right. With a frown on her face she sent 'Make sure not to get caught. I want to see what you guys can do fighting wise after all.'
The two gave a quick yes back before they got to work on their tests. Kira, who was skilled at seeing motions cracked her neck once to look behind her to see, that there was a chūnin implanted behind her as the guy looked extremely confident with his answers as he wrote them down. With a small smirk, she turned back to her paper, and silently drew a seal on her hand. With another smile she whispered "Fūin: Bodi no Mohō(1)"
After a few seconds her body started to move on its own as it wrote down the answers that the guy behind her. She would need to rewrite the answers to show her handwriting and not the guy behind hers, but it was fairly obvious that she had all of the answers at this point by just coping the guys body movements with a seal. Not even the chūnin around her seemed to notice the fact that her movements copied the person's behind her by an exact amount, and if they did, it's not like they could say she was cheating, as for all they knew the guy behind her was copying her movements. Once the answers were down, she released the seal, and started to write the answers that needed to be rewritten in her own handwriting. Once she finished with that, she gave a smirk towards the paper in front of her and turned it upside down, so that no one could copy what she wrote down.
With karin, things were a bit different. She didn't use the Bodi no Motō, but instead quickly followed the movements of someone next to her. She looked like she had her eyes glued to her paper, but she was actually reading someone's handwriting through pure eyesight, something that was extremely hard for most people. The Uchiha were the only ones who could do this normal, but then again, the Uzumaki weren't considered normal either. She continued to stare and stop a few seconds behind the person who she was reading off of, and whenever she could tell someone was looking at her, whether through their peripheral vision, or direct eye contact, she would always stop and slow down so it looked like she was just answering her own questions, before she sped up again to copy the person she was reading the movements of. Once she finished, she quickly flipped the paper over, so that no one knew that she had finished.
Finally was Shiro, the only one who actually knew everything when it came to the questions. He literally knew everything that had been put on the test, and he was the first to finish the test, but he decided instead to watch all the different ways people decided to cheat. Some of the, were obvious, like looking at a paper next to them, or sneaking a peek from the person in front of them, while others were less obvious, like Tenten from team Gai using mirrors to help her teammate Lee get answers, despite the fact that he had no abilities in anything other the. Taijutsu. Another thing he noticed was the sand that was spreading around and the fact that Gaara was using it to see the answers to the test. In all there were a lot of different ways that people were cheating, and they didn't even notice the fact that he could see every single way that they were cheating, he just didn't want to spoil the fun for the teams, so he didn't comment on what was going on with them.
Throughout the forty-five minutes that the teams had to gather information, thirteen teams, and subsequently thirty-nine people had been kicked out, while Ibiki noticed the discrete methods that the teams used. He didn't say anything, however, as it was supposed to be the chūnin proctors that spotted the cheating and counted them on it. As such, when it was time for him to get on to the next part, he yelled "Alright! Times up! Now, we will begin the tenth question. Now before we begin, I would like to go over the added rules for this question. I'll now explain. These are the rules of desperation. First, for the tenth question, you must decide whether or not to take it."
"Choose?!" A loud female voice yelled and when Kira looked over she saw one of the sand siblings "What happens if we choose not to?!"
"If you choose not to, then your points will be reduced to zero and you will fail along with your two teammates!" Ibiki stated with a grim tone.
"What does that mean!?" Another voice yelled out "Then of course we'll take the question!"
"If you choose to take it and you answer incorrectly, then at person will lose the right to take the chūnin exams again.
"What kind of stupid rule is that?!" Kiba yelled out towards Ibiki "There are people who have been to these exams before!"
Instead of retorting immediately Ibiki started to laugh evilly before he said " You guys are were unlucky. This year it's my rules, but I'm giving you a way out. Those that aren't confident can chose not to take it, and try again next year. Now, let's begin the tenth question. Those that do not wish to take the tenth question, raise your hand. Once your number is confirmed, leave."
Kira gave a mental whistle at what Ibiki did. She wasn't exactly sadistic as she made herself out to by giving suggestions to Ibiki, but it's always good to get allies. That said, it was pretty amazing how easily Ibiki put unrest into the ranks of everyone. Phycological warfare was pretty common in Shinobi villages, but the level that Ibiki was doing it was way blond anything that a genin would be able to understand. He was deliberately causing an internal struggle to go through everyone as they thought over the chances of what would happen if they took the question.
With a smile on her face she sent a message to her teammates 'He's incredible at causing unrest in the ranks of the genin.'
The first to respond was Kira as she sent 'Yep. Wouldn't surprise me if he's already decoded this though. Isn't that right Ibiki?'
All three of the genin looked towards ibiki as he said "You three can stop with that now. Your right though. I know what your saying, and I'm counting it as talking. Now back to the question. This is your last chance to go now."
A few seconds later, a genin stood up and raised his hand "I-I'm not going to take the question! I'm sorry Geniai, Inoho."
One of the chūnin checked the guy off while also saying "130, 111 also fail."
That one person ended up causing a chain reaction as several more teams decided to quit as well. Kira saw Sakura begin to raise her hand with a shake, but before she could Naruto raised his, surprising all of the leaf Genin that knew him. Not even a second later though, he slammed his hand on the table in front of him.
"Don't underestimate me! I won't run! Even if I'm a genin forever, I'll will myself to be mad Hokage anyway so I'll take it!" Naruto yelled before he sat back with his arms crossed.
Ibiki gave a smirk at that, before he asked if he was sure. When he responded back in affirmation, Ibiki noted that there was 79 left, and that it was more then expected. With a smirk he said "Good decisions. Now to everyone still remaining... I congratulate you on passing the first test."
"W-what? We pass already? What about the tenth question?" Sakura asked.
Ibiki gave a grin, that surprisingly looked normal as he said "There was never such a thing, or I guess you could say that those two choices were the tenth question."
"Then what were those last nine questions for?! Were the pointless?!" The same Kunoichi as before yelled.
"They were not pointless" Ibiki stated "The first nine questions had already served their purpose. To test your individual information gathering abilities. First, as the rules explained success is based on the whole team doing well. This put pressure on each team member not to mess up for their teammates. But the questions in this test were not something that a mere genin could answer. Because of that I'm sure most of you came up with the conclusion 'that to score points I'll have to cheat' right? Basically the premise of this test is to cheat. As cheating targets we had two or so chūnin who had all the answers mixed into the crowd to help you out. Those that cheat poorly fail of course."
Ibiki stopped as he pulled of his bandana and showed his scarred up head "Information is more important then life sometimes and on missions or on the battlefield people risk their lives to get their hands on it. If the enemy, or third party notices you, there is no guarantee that the information is accurate. I want you to remember this, important information, can be a powerful weapon for your comrades and your village. So we had you gather Information through cheating. This clearly separated those that did not have the right abilities."
"But I don't understand the tenth question." Temari stated.
"The tenth question is the real purpose of this test. Let me explain, the tenth question is the "take it" or "don't take it" decision. Obviously this was a painful question. Those who choose not to take it fail along with their teammates, but those who chose to take it, could lose the chance to take the exams again. A true leap of faith. Now about the these two choices... Say you guys become chūnin, your mission is to steal a secret document. The amount of Shinobi, their abilities, Etc. is unknown to you. Of course there could also be traps set all around you. Now do you accept or not? Because you don't want to die, or you don't want your comrades hurt, do you say no to this? The answer is no! No matter what the danger, there are missions you can't avoid! The ability to be courageous, and survive any hardship, this is the ability needed to become a chūnin captain. Those who can't put their destinies on the line who cling to the 'there's always next year' and then walk away from the chance those pieces of trash that can only chose those cowardly decisions don't have the right to become chūnin! That's how I feel!"
Ibiki looked around the room to make sure that he still had everyone's attention before he turned to Naruto with a smirk "Thise who chose to take it, answered the tough tenth question correctly. You will be able to survive any trouble you face in the future. You made it through the enterence exam. The first part of the chūnin exams is now finished. Good luck."
Kira gave a smirk toward Ibiki before she looked towards the window and yelled "HEADS UP!"
The next second something burst through the window startling everyone. The object then grew as someone landed at the center of the front with a banner that said 'second chūnin exam test proctor Anko Mitarashi!' And in front of it was the wk an herself, in a trench coat, that did nothing to hide the fact that that she had only mesh underneath her shirt. She also had a short skirt on of an orange color, but she had an almost angry look on her face as she yelled "This is no time to celebrate! I'm an Anko Mitarashi! Now let's go! Follow me!"
Kira just gave a blank look at Anko, as she gave a disgruntled look. Ibiki must have told her she had bad timing. With a scowl, she looked around and said "Ibiki! You left 28 teams? The test was to easy this time!"
Ibiki just shook his head "This time, there are a lot of outstanding ones."
Scowling Anko said "Bah. I'll at least cut them down by half in the second exam." When she noticed the scared looks on some of the genius face, she gave an evil smirk and said "Aaaahhh I'm getting excited. I'll explain everything once we change places. Follow me."
Kira regrouped with the other Uzumaki on her team and decided that following Anko to the next area was a better idea then talking about anything. Once they arrived, Kira's right eye twitched before she yelled "What the hell is with this forest Dattebane?!"
Anko chuckled at Kira's reaction as she said "The second test will be inducted here. Welcome to area 44 also know as the forest of death."
So? What did you guys think? Good? Bad? Ok? Reveiw and let me know please!
ok for those of you who haven't seen it yet, there is a new poll involving Shoba Uzumaki instead of Kira. I have close to nine choices, but only two have votes at the moment.
Kakashi Hatake: 2
Stays single:1
Everyone else is at a 0 so I'm not going to say them, but make sure to vote for your favorite, else someone else is going to get it. Ja ne!
(1): Bodi no Mohō= Body imitation- A seal that allows you to copy the movements of the first person you see. It is usually used for when a spy is copying orders or secret documents.
