KP: chapter 24

IPF: less talk more action

KP: sure soon as you contribute!

From: thestoneox :hey, I just wanted to tell you I thought you had a great story here. A or stories, however you want to look at it. A anyway, all the stories linked to this I really enjoyed. A the only questions I have are these: 1) does Rio know his mother told Neji to leave? A if so, why does he still hate Neji so much, if not, why don't they tell him to try and work things out? 2) is Tora deliberately not telling anyone who he is? A anywho, GREAT stories. A I look forward to reading more.

1.) No he doesn't know that Neji was told to leave. And the reason they don't talk it out is because Rio is too headstrong to listen to ether of them.

2.) Yes he is avoiding telling anyone who he is but don't worry everyone will find out soon enough.

KP: oh yeah Tribute to Ozzy in this chapter for using his song "breaking all the rules"

The Kids of Glory

Chapter 24

Breaking the Rules

'Gaah! This is so stupid!' Shiro thought to himself looking over the questions again. ' I bet not even Anna could answer these things!'

Anna on the other hand who was seated two rows behind him was looking at the paper herself 'wow even I bet even Kai could even answer these things!'

Well I know
I could be just another stranger
But to you
I guess I'm just another fool

Kai however was a row behind Anna and five seats to the right looking over the first question. 'okay, let me see if a woman asks for directions to the Hokage office how do I respond?'. Kai looked over the choices. A.) offer assistance B.) Ask her reason C.) give her directions D.) Punch her in the face for espionage. Kai circled D and moved on to the next question. "your commanding officer requests for you to scout out the enemy territory in the heart of the enemy country what do you do? Explain why?" Kai scribbled down 'I would punch my commanding officer in the face for sending me on a kamikaze mission.'

And you swear
You like to live your life in danger

Back to Shiro. The young Gennin buried his face in his hands thinking of the problem and he thought back to the beginning of the test.

Then you hide
Behind a wall of silly lies

FLASHBACK

The man known as Chouji standing behind the desk looked over all of the Gennins. "well let me tell you upfront that this will be the greatest challenge you've ever had to face. I'm not even talking about this test. You will do things and see things you thought weren't even possible. So if you even I have the slightest bit of doubt here lies my warning and the door is right there" Chouji spoke pointing to the door. "alright understand that your three man teams are your lifeline. You will need to depend on your teammates for they will be your crutch as well as your cripple. The first test will be a written one and the rules are on the board!"

END FLASHBACK

Nobody thinks the way I do
I guess that nobody cares

Shiro looked at the board filled with the rules that still baffled him. 'it doesn't make any sense to allow a person to cheat a certain number of times. You'd think they'd kick you out of class and be done with it.' while Shiro pondered his thoughts right next to him was Hakori Tohapka. The blue haired ninja was holding a small slip of paper in between his middle and index finger. Suddenly the slip of paper shot like a rocket from his fingers and hit the top of a desk belonging to Rock Gai. Gai quickly grabbed the paper and unrolled it reading the contents of the paper. It read: Gai when you get all the answers from Kaori tip back in your chair. Gai looked back at Kaori who had already begun getting the answers through her Sharigan. All Gai had to do was wait.

Your head's so full of things, so set your mind free of them
I'm breaking the rules

On the other side of the room Zinc Kiya was creating a Morse code message with her Kunai against the side of the table while her two teammates were picking up the answers rapidly. At least she did for a while until suddenly a patch of sand from the desk in front of her snatched her kunai and threw it against the wall. The chair belonged to Ninpuu. The small girl turned to face Kiya and spoke to her "that's really annoying you know" before turning back to her own test.

Did you know
That in the truth, there's nothing stranger

Kiya stood there with her mouth hanging in horror. 'how the hell did she do that? She's not a ninja she's a monster! I hope I don't have to face her!'. on the other side of the room Rio was using his Byakugan to scan answers throughout the class. He continued until he heard out loud "NUMBER 48! You and your teammates leave" one of the chuunins exclaimed as Rio looked at his tag number being 47. A brown haired boy and his two teammates left the testing area. Rio let out a sigh and continued to use his Byakugan.

Meanwhile

Naruto stood outside of the testing area with Shikamaru, Lee, and Inari. Kankuro approached the group in the hall. "Long time no see" The Sand-nin spoke.

"you can say that again" Naruto said smiling. Kankuro smiled in response.

"You know that brat of yours needs a good ass kicking" Kankuro said

"Good luck finding someone to do it for you" Naruto responded smirking

"Well I hope this tournament will knock some sense into him" Kankuro explained "all the kids in the sand see him like some kind of hero, who's just like his old man. Practical jokes, graffiti, and other sorts of disrespect for authority"

"He's Naruto-san's kid all right" Inari spoke smiling.

"I never denied it" Naruto said holding his hands up in defense. "but what about Doragon and Ninpuu."

"Those two scare me" Kankuro said shuddering "the power of those three is unbelievable, they're not even a team of ninjas. They're more like a force that cant be stopped. Every mission that was ever thrown at them they took care of without a bit of assistance from me."

"What about your students Inari-san?" Naruto asked looking at the Samurai.

"Come on Naruto you already have seen the skills of those three. They're no pushovers." Inari exclaimed leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. Then Inari looked at Lee "How 'bout your students?"

Lee smirked "My students are the Elite of Konoha! THEY WILL USE THEIR EXPLOSIVE YOOUTH TO SURPASS ALL CHALLENGERS!" Lee said with flames in his eyes

"How will that help them in their first test Lee" Shikamaru said "I mean that doest really help them first they have to actually figure out what kind of a test it is. This is what I have made sure that my students will excel at"

"What is the first test anyways?" Inari asked

"that's right you never took any exams" Naruto noted "the first examination is test of your ability to observe your surroundings and gather information. They disguise it as a written test to throw the students off."

"That's interesting" Inari commented "What about your students Naruto how will they do in this test?"

"OH SHIT!" Naruto yelled "they are so gonna fucking fail!"

Meanwhile

'wait a second I just thought of something!' Kai thought and quickly went to change a answer on his sheet 'I shouldn't hit the Hokage! I should flip him off!'. While Kai was increasingly dumber His partner Shiro had thought of something.

I suppose
You think I think I know it all

'wait a second' Shiro thought 'we're supposed to be cheating! And not get caught! I figured it out!'. Shiro smirked to himself realizing his true task then he frowned 'I don't have any techniques to cheat! Damn!'.

Nobody hears the things I say
I guess that nobody cares

Meanwhile Anna was struggling deeply with her questions. 'what the hell is up with these questions. I know I'm smart but this is ridiculous. I cant imagine anyone being able to answer these questions at our level!'.

My head's so full of things I set my mind free of them I'm breaking the rules
Breaking all the rules

The test continued with everyone who could using all the techniques they could. "Number 83 you and your teammates leave" The heard was being thinned with every passing moment. More and more people were leaving.

Can't you see they're nothing without you
Empty heads full of fools
Now you see
I'm breaking all the rules, breakin' all the rules

Shiro looked down a row to see Tora leaning back in his chair smirking. Shiro looked at his paper. It was completely filled. 'that bastard! How could he have all the answers?' Shiro thought 'I didn't see him move once from his seat. What kind of jutsus does this guy have? What unique power does he possess? You cant tell by looking at him but you can feel…something. Its like there's more to him.'

Well I know
That you would love to go to heaven
But you know
That you're just too afraid to die

Kai finished his test and set the pencil down and put his hands behind his head feeling quite full of himself. He then looked at the board. 'the last question will be announced at fifteen minutes to the hour. I bet I'll answer it the same way as the others' Kai thought to himself smirking as if he was smart enough to actually answer the questions.

And I know
That you would love to know the answers

But to you
The truth is just another lie

Anna finished her test and set it in front of her and glared at eh chalkboard as if she was about to take that on next. She also glanced at Chouji who had his poker face smile on. 'damn that smile you cant read anything' Anna thought 'what the hell are they gonna ask us?'

Nobody hears the things I say
I guess that nobody cares
My head's so full of things I set my mind free of them I'm breaking the rules
Breaking all the rules

The time finally came and Chouji stepped up to the front with his smile. "all right before the final question, you must first decide if you want to take it or not" Chouji said and there was a great murmur among the students. Finally Tohapka spoke up "What's the point we're all here ain't we?"

Can't you see they're nothing without you
Empty heads full of fools
Now you see
I'm breaking all the rules, breakin' all the rules

"Yes but if you fail this question you must never again take the chuunins exams!" Chouji said smiling "If you wish to give up remember that your teammates will have to leave as well. So raise your hand if you wish to leave" With that a silence swept through the room.

Breaking all the rules
Why don't you tell them

Kai and Shiro turned to look at Anna. Anna was glaring daggers at both of them. 'if you idiots even think about raising your hands I'll kill you!' Anna thought looking at the two. Then one kid raised his hand. "Get his teammates outta here" a chuunin examiner said.

Breaking all the rules, a come on, a come on
Breaking all the rules, why don't you get it on,

Time continued on, more and more Genin teams left the area. At least one time every minute someone lost their nerve. More and more hands rose to the ceiling and more people left with regret. Chouji continued in front of the room with that same smile on his face. The one no one could read. Shiro considered raising his hand.

Breaking all the rules, a come on, a come on
Breaking all the rules, aaaallll right
Breaking all the rules, a come on, a come on...

Then he thought about what Anna would do to him if he did. Time expired. The group sat on the edge of their seats. Chouji looked around the room. Slowly and his smile disappeared "you have all passed your first examination". everyone in the room facefaulted except for Kai who threw his fist in the air. "this test was simple if you could figure it out" Chouji continued "the first part of the test was understanding your true surroundings and gather information. The other part was your confidence in your abilities as a ninja. Those remaining will now leave this building and confront their next test. Go ahead get outta here". the group of ninjas began to exit the area.

Kai smirked to himself until he heard from behind him "must be real proud of yourself to pass a basic test" Kai turned to be confronted with Toyo Rama and his other two teammates.

"You know you seem awfully anxious to get your ass kicked again" Shiro spoke up for his friend looking into the eyes of Rama.

"Try it" Miko said his hand on his kendo stick. Then Kiya stood in front of Miko and Rama. "We're not here to fight, not yet Miko, Rama, we can fight later" Kiya said being the voice of reason while the two boys stood looking at the other team with malice "the last thing we need is to get kicked out of the examination"

"Yeah I guess your right Kiya" Rama said turning "We'll beat you later"

"talk about hotheaded" The three stood frozen in place. They turned to see three stone-nins. The first one was tall with buzzed short black hair and black stone cold eyes. His arms were crossed. The one to his right, the one who spoke, had long braided white hair and a pair of green eyes as well as a charming smile on her face. On the other side was a boy who had a smirk on his face with both of his hands behind his head. He had long green hair that went to his shoulders.

"and you three are?" Anna asked

The girl spoke first "My name is Kanna, this one" she gestured to the quiet one with his arms crossed "would be Hojo and the other one would be Haori" she said putting her hand on the shoulder of the green haired boy. "we know who you three are. Your Naruto's students, you should be very formidable to have such a teacher"

"I guess you could say that" Kai said staring at the white haired girl.

"We'll see you three around" Kanna said as the three turned away from the new team seven.

"If they survive" Haori said.

"come on lets go" Kai said they left to the outside where there was a man waiting in front of all the chuunins. He had a long brown coat and shaggy black hair. Not to mention the black sunglasses.

The man decided to speak "I guess Chouji couldn't eliminate enough of you, oh well I guess it can't be helped. I am Abrume Shino the instructor for your next test"
