Chapter 2 Graduation Exams
It's been 8 years since Naru and the rest had gained new powers and now the once empty apartment complex is filled up so everyone had to double up, Hinata, Naru's roommate, is now confident in her appearance and abilities, completely reversing the damages to her self-esteem done by her former clan. During one sparring session with Sasuke Uchiha, in which she wiped the floor with him, which caused him spend the weekend at the hospital, she earned the nickname Tigra and it stuck ever since. Her new wardrobe now a 2-piece bikini, 2 sizes too small for her, with a mesh shirt, since normal clothes are too confining and her hair grew down to her back.
Naru also gone a wardrobe change her once 'kill-me-orange' outfit replaced with a one piece black spandex with a lightning bolt going all the way down The said spandex didn't even touch her legs, and her black leather boots went all to her knees. Her blonde hair went all the down to her hips and her sapphire blue eyes only added to her beauty. She got a waitress at a maid theme restaurant to supplement her income during her academy days.
Neji, TenTen, and Lee graduated the year before and now a Genin team together under Might Gai. Neji and TenTen didn't change much but Lee now dresses as a clone of their sensei. TenTen angelic appearance caused most guys fall over head over heels for her.
Ino often helped her father and said department with to practice her telekinetic powers, which didn't help much since the guys, and some girls, drool at the mere sight of her in her purple 2 piece white uniform, because of that their mental defenses were weak which didn't help her much. Her clothes looked like they painted on. She and Neji were dating off and on over the years, but everyone could tell they were meant for each other. She prefers to go by 'The White Queen.'
The said girls had perfect hourglass figures.
Neji now wore his shippuden outfit with his custom made sunglasses as he still control his new powers.
In fact the only girl who didn't have a figure in their classes was Sakura, who was still flat as a board, and she didn't have much going for her in her waist or hip department either, she still wore her pre-time skip uniform.
All the rest of the guys were there shippuden outfits, minus Sasuke, who still wears his pre-time skip outfit.
"So, what do you think Sasuke will do because of our prank," Naru asked her roommate, as they got ready for the morning. "My money is he goes to the council."
"Him going to the council is given," Hinata replied as she put on her Shinobi issued sandals, "The civilian council has no real power of us since the Hokage has deemed us a military asset to the village."
"True," Naru said getting the tangles out of her hair, "But that doesn't mean he'll like the prank we pulled on him."
"True," Hinata admitted as she shrugged it off, "He should have learned by now that when he throws a childish tantrum for refusing to date, marring him, and/or having his children results in a prank."
"True," Naru snickered at the amount of pranks from the various times when he asked one of the new female bloodline users the same question, "How many times have we pranked him, and I lost count at 683."
"Angel is the one that keeps track," Hinata said as she put a finger on her chin as thought about it, "I lost count at 724."
"Hmm, sounds about right," Naru responded.

As they walked to the academy, they spotted a familiar face.
"Hey Angel," Naru and Hinata greeted their friend, who was carrying a bag of groceries.
"Hi guys," TenTen called back waving her free hand. TenTen who was wearing a black skin tight t-shirt that drew attention her bust, and said 'Girl Power' in white Japanese characters, and skin tight pants, her wings folded behind her, she also had 2 small cylinder devices on her wrists.
"How well did the wrist mounted chakra blasters work on you C-rank mission," Naru asked.
"They did well against the bandits," TenTen shrugged looking the 3" cylinder device on her right wrist, "I can't really test their limits until I go against someone who gives me a challenge."
"True," Hinata said, "I still can't believe you came up with the idea of firing raw chakra as a weapon."
TenTen smiled at that, "I have Naru to thank for the help. Her knowledge and skills with seals helped a lot."
"Thanks," Naru said and her face lit up as she remembered something, "Have you heard about the Hyuuga clan lately?"
"Yes I have," TenTen said in disgust, "Their trying to get both Neji and Hinata back into the clan and brand Tigra here with the cage bird seal."
"They were really stirred up when Neji took down that Tobi fellow, who is an S-Rank in the Bingo book, in 3 minutes flat," Hinata said. "Even if he was tired from a previous fight by the Mizukages personal ANBU guard."
"I couldn't believe it was the Fourth's presumed dead student, Obito Uchiha, under a powerful genjutsu," TenTen said.
"I couldn't tell that if Sasuke was sad or happy he found another living Uchiha," Naru said.
The three girls thought about it and shuddered at the mere thought of it and they all said, "Nah."
"Sasuke happy," Hinata started.
"That's when hell freezes over," TenTen scoffed at the idea of Sasuke being happy.
"True," Naru said, "It was pretty funny when Jiji named him as the head of the Uchiha family, after being checked out and cleared, and Sasuke's personal physc file deems him unworthy."
The girls laughed at that and they parted ways.
At the academy they saw their efforts of their prank. The girls could barely hold in their laughter as they saw him dressed the same way as one of his number 1 fan girl with matching pink hair, he could have easily passed a relative of Sakura Haruno.
Just then the people in the class could hear a stampede in the hallways as Sasuke's co-presidents/cousins barged into the classroom. The first is Sakura Haruno, how is wearing her pre-time skip clothes, with her long pink hair, her clothes modified for her tail. Her face now slightly more squirrel like and her upper front teeth a little pronounced than normal, with Ms. Uchiha who is her pet squirrel/friend on her right shoulder.
The other is Ami Haruno, she still has the style hair from the time she bullied Sakura but now their competing for Sasuke's affection, and her clothes matched Sakura's, minus the modifications and its primary color is pink.
"I got here first," they both cried out which caused them to glare at each other hatefully.
"No way squirrel girl!"
"Yes way!"
"I'm still going to sit by Sasuke!"
"No I am!"
"Let, Sasuke decide," a nameless male student said, who is tired of these rants, and he strongly disliked Sasuke's superiority attitude, along with most of the male and some of the female population of the academy.
With that suggestion they both grew stars in their eyes but Ami collapsed in sorrow onto the floor, while Sakura fist pumped into the air crying, "True loves conquers all!" as they realized what he how he was dressed. She went up to Sasuke and sat down next to him and started cuddling him, much to his disgust as he tried to get her off of him. As for Ami she was crying in disappointment and you could see a puddle of tears, about the size of her hand.
Some of the student body was snickering in amusement at Sasuke's current situation.
Just then he Iruka and Mizuka walked in and saw Ami crying on the floor and looked up and saw the commotion Sasuke and Sakura was making and they shrugged it off as another one of Naru's pranks and they had no way to prove it was her in the first place and it wasn't on school property in the first place, so they had no power to do anything about it, much to Mizuki's huge disappointment.
"SHUT-UP," Iruka shouted using his patented 'big-head jutsu' on the students who were still talking, especially on Sakura and Ami, especially those two.
Ami managed to sit on the other side of Sasuke and Mizuki held a stack of papers and said, "Ok class today is the day you're going to participate in your final exams." Many of the students cheered as Mizuki handed out the test.
While he was doing this Iruka put a timer on the teachers desk and said, "The rules of this test are simple, once Mizuki finishes handing out the papers you have one hour to finish the written portion of the test. The second rule is if you are caught cheating you are automatically failed, if your caught using jutsu during this test you automatically fail, and finally if you talk during the time period you a-"
"We automatically fail," Naru interrupted.
"Corrected Naru," Iruka said.
As Mizuki finished passing out the papers Naru looked at the papers and she sweat-dropped at what she saw. The questions on her test was ridiculous, (1) What's Orochimaru's favorite color, (38) What is Orochimaru's secret ambition, (72) What is Orochimaru's dream position?
"Iruka-sensai what is with all the questions about Mizuki," Naru asked and Iruka gave her a confused look.
"Those aren't the answers on the test," Iruka replied confused.
"Then why are mine all about Orochimaru?"
Iruka walked up to her desk and saw she was right about that, and he checked the paper making sure there was no genjutsu, which there was none. "Hmm, strange. I have another test I'll give it to you."
After Iruka switched Naru's fake test with a real one, neither one noticed Mizuki's disgusted face.
An hour later the tests were handed in and it was time for the sparring session of the tests, "The last match of the day is Naru Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha!"
This fight was the fight that everyone was looking forward to. Even several of the council members had come watch the last 'loyal' Uchiha defeat, in their opinion, abomination, demon, and among other things Naru Uzumaki, one of two academy students who can effortlessly defeat the last Uchiha, the other was Hinata Tigra, the banished Hyuuga, whom they didn't care because in their minds she was among the top candidates for the Uchiha's brides and mother of his children, unaware the disgust she felt toward him.
As the two contests entered the ring, Iruka looked at the two contests as they got in their fighting stances, "All right, the rules are simple, so jutsu's, or using ones bloodlines, only taijutsu," the two contests nodded in understanding and Iruka raised his hand, "Ready began," and lowered his hand to signify the start of the match.
The two genin hopefuls traded quick punches and kicks, both either blocking or avoiding the others attacks.
"You're not much without your bloodline," Sasuke taunted.
"For being praised a prodigy, you have yet to unlock your bloodline, which Itachi did when he was half your age," Naru taunted back.
"Don't say his name," Sasuke yelled in anger.
"Oooh, did I hit a string," Naru asked as Sasuke's punches become more and more desperate, "Itachi, Itachi, Itachi."
"Rrraaaahhhh," Sasuke yelled in anger as he went for the tackle and Naru flipped over Sasuke and he went out of the ring.
"Winner by ring-out Naru Uzumaki," Iruka declared.
Out of anger Sasuke cried, "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
As the fireball headed towards Naru, she smirked and held up her hand and as the fireball connected to hand and she started absorbing the fire and said, "Did you forget this about bloodline, Sasuke? I can absorb energy and chakra flames are pure energy!"
The civilian councilmembers were steaming with anger as Naru absorbed the flames, the male, and the female academy students, who were not fan-girls were impressed on how Naru handled it, and as for the fan-girls, well who cares.
"She should be disqualified," yelled one of the councilmembers, who had pink hair.
"Why Council Member Haruno," Iruka asked, "She was merely defending herself and prevented the students who were standing behind her from being burned by the fireball, which the Uchiha fired. My final decision is that because the Uchiha recklessly endangered his fellow students and used a Jutsu in a taijutsu match unprovoked, he shall be held back a year."
Naru smirked as the council members and the Uchiha fan girls cried out in anger, the ladder who wanted to be on his team.
"Quiet," Iruka shouted using his signature Big Head Jutsu, "If you don't like my decision take it up with the Hokage, whom I'll be writing my report to on said decision."
At the end of day the remaining Rookie Eleven passed the Academy test, minus Sasuke, who'll be repeating the year.
"We did it," Naru yelled to the world, who had her hait-te tied around her neck.
"Calm down Naru," Hinata said to Naru, (she had hers the same way as the anime/manga), "According to Ten-Ten, Neji, and Lee we've still have to pass our Sensei's test.
"True, but we can rub it into the Uchiha-temes face that we've passed and he didn't," Naru said in a pout.
Hinata giggled and said, "True, that'll be fun."
