I don't own Naruto and in way shape or form

Biju/Inner Sakura – "Hi"


Waking up an obnoxious sound, Naruto growled at the clock, how dare it wake him up at this time in the morning. What kind of human being would purposely wake up at this atrocious hour? He couldn't believe it was 5 a.m, his final exams were in two hours! Grumbling he turned over and tried to go back to sleep, but he was too excited to fall back to sleep, because today was the day! He'd finally become a genin! He trained four years for this moment finally so he could save the princess, take names and kick ass.

Pumping his fist in the air he jumped out of bed, deciding to get dressed and go downstairs to get some rame-. Naruto paused held a breath and hoped no one was reading his thoughts or was even awake too (it happens way too often in a family of mind readers for his taste). Making sure no one heard him thinking of the heavenly food. Releasing a sigh, he wasn't allowed to eat ramen for two weeks since he's on punishment. Smiling to himself he thought about why he was in trouble. He didn't regret what he did the prank was harmless! His sister and parents wouldn't agree with him but what did they know about the art of pranking?

*FLASHBACK*

A laughing Naruto Yamanaka could be seen roof hopping with an angry Tsume and her kinsmen following suit. Naruto had just got done putting the finishing touches on his elaborate prank of putting flea's in each house and room the Inuzaka clan owned. Snickering to himself he knew they deserved it! How dare Kiba think he could hit on MY sister. That mangy mutt deserved it no one and I mean no one hits on my baby that's not all he did it's just what they currently knew about. Sensing the nin-dogs hot on his heels he decided to set his second plan in motion. Throwing a dozen purple balls into the air, he covered his mouth as they detonated instantly. Ducking into an alley he stuck around to observe his handiwork. Now these balls weren't just normal smoke bombs they also contained a special poison concocted from the petals of lilac lilies. If this poison was inhaled by dogs it would make their pheromones go into whack and make various rashes appear on the coats if you added a dash of rose petals in the mix. Slipping away while his pursuitors attended to their dogs, Naruto went to his next destination

Landing in front of Sasuke Uchiha's apartment he slipped into the house through an open window as he let an evil grin grace his face. This bastard made his sister cry in the third year of the academy when he took her bouquet, flowers she had spent hours hand-picking for him, and stomped and spat on them, this bastard would pay dearly.

Walking into the bathroom he knew he released some of the tensions he was holding in his shoulders, because he knew he had plenty of time for this part of the operation. Rummaging through Sasuke's cabinet he did a small victory dance as he found what he been looking for, hair conditioner. Picking up the hair bottle and reading the label, a laugh escaped from his lips. He used hair conditioner that made his hair smell like chocolate? really? laughing again he pulled out a bottle of pink dye that strangely smelled like wet dog and poured it inside the conditioner bottle. Placing the conditioner bottle back in the position he found it, Naruto left through the window, but not before he double checking that there wasn't anything that would point to him being there.

*FLASHBACK OVER*

Needless to say, he wasn't as sneaky as he thought because his mom ended up finding out s week later and let's just say it wasn't pretty. Naruto was so terrified after his mom found out that he wouldn't even touch another ramen bowl for another three weeks after seeing the horrid things his mom could do with ramen and Naruto definitely wouldn't be doing another prank anytime soon, or at least get caught doing one.

Even though he couldn't eat any ramen the prank was definitely worth it. The all-mighty Uchiha's hair was still pink and flies were still following him around. Sadly, his hair would go back to normal in a few weeks, but all good things have to end sooner or later. Walking downstairs he saw that his sister was sitting down at the dinner table and went to take a seat across from her. "So you couldn't sleep either Ino?

Standing up to put her bowl of cereal in the sink, Ino began washing her bowl out. "I slept fine, I just wanted to get in some extra training before the exams"

Staring at his sister in shock, Ino never woke up early in the morning always claiming that she needed her "beauty sleep" in fact one time he tried to wake her up to go to the park and she slapped him and yelled at him to leave her alone. She must be really nervous to actually wake up early and train and she would never admit to being nervous. "Dont worry Ino-chan you're the best kunoichi ever! You're gonna breeze through the exam dattebayo!"

Beaming at her big brother she couldn't help but feel her worries about not passing wash away. Her brother had the knack to make any task seem doable with his contagious confidence. Grabbing her brother's hand "Come on let's get going the academy I'd hate for forehead to beat us there and maybe you'll be able to see your crush you always talk about in your sleep!" she said, with a wink

Shaking his head as he allowed his sister to drag him to the academy he couldn't understand why Ino and Sakura stopped being friend for some boy. Him and Shikamaru or Choji wouldn't stop being friends for a stupid girl. The last thing she said finally made it through his thick head "H-hey I don't have a crush! Stop being silly Ino, girls are crazy" Sadly what he said fell on deaf ears as Ino had let go of his hand and was already inside the classroom conversing with Shikamaru.

Walking towards his seat next to that bastard Sasuke. He tried to stifle a laugh his hair, but he couldn't, the bastard's hair was still pink! that's so rich!

Clearing his throat Iruka walked up to the front of the class "As you all know today is the genin exams and if you pass you become a full-fledged ninja, but if you don't you can always try again next year" pausing to flash them a smile " I believe that I've given each and everyone of you the tools needed to pass this test and I know in my heart that all of you will pass, now let's get started with the first part the written test. I will know if you cheat so don't bother and if you are caught cheating you will be severely punished. Good luck"

Naruto started to panic as Iruka handed out the tests. Writing has always been one of his worse subject! Skimming through the test he found he could answer some of the questions, but not all of them. Using one of the many meditation techniques, Naruto tried to calm down and thought to himself. Focus Naruto! Focus, you can do this! The Yamanaka male started jotting down his answer to the questions before time was up and hoped for the best.

Looking at the clock Iruka noticed that time was up. He stood up "Ok, class put your pencils down the test is over, I want you to follow Mizuki-san out of the classroom for the next part of the exam while I grade your test."


Mizuki lead the students outside towards a training field with three training dummies. Coming to a halt, Mizuki turned around and gave a big smile, "Ok now I we will begin the second part of the Genin exams. You will be given a choice of any ranged weapon you like and have, to at least hit 6/10 of the targets spread out across the field to pass. It's recommended and encouraged to use only kunai, and shuriken, but you are allowed to use a secondary ranged weapon of your choice if necessary." Making sure they understood he began to go down the list.

"Sasuke Uchiha" Sasuke walked towards the table after hearing his name called. He picked up a handful of kunai and shuriken. Satisfied with his choice he moved to the center of the training grounds, and mimicked his traitorous brother signature move and jumped into the air and before releasing his weapons, he twisted in the air while simultaneously throwing the kunai, and shuriken. Landing he smirked after hearing the sound of metal being lodged into wood, and waited to receive his score, but what he heard made his smirk falter. "Sasuke Uchiha: Kunai 9/10, Shuriken 10/10 very good, next" Scoffing Sasuke put his hands in his pocket and sat back down and began to brood over his failure. How could he have missed? he was an elite, how was he ever going to avenge his clan if he couldn't even get a perfect score?

"Sakura Haruno you're up next" strengthening her resolve she walked up to the table and grabbed some shuriken and kunai, but after each throw her confidence started to falter bit by bit. She had barely gotten a passing score of 6/10 on both. She was going to sit back down when she spotted senbon laying next to the weapons provided for the exam. She had read about those in the library once. Deciding to try her look with them she picked them up and to the shock of herself and everyone else. She had done it, she hit every mark flawlessly. a 10/10'

Recovering from his shock he called out the next name "U-uh Yamanaka Ino."

Ino smiled when she heard her name and went to go stand in the center of the field. Eager to get the test over with she grabbed a handful of shuriken, and kunai. Taking a deep breath she narrowed her eyes and started to launch her weapons one at a time. *THUNK*. Glancing at the targets she saw she had hit an almost perfect mark of nine out of ten targets. Smirking she starting to throw the kunai, her grin getting wider as she continued to hit every mark so far.

Down to one last kunai she threw it with a watchful eye. Hearing the familiar thunk of metal lodging into wood she released a breath she didn't realize she was holding and saw that it hit the bullseye. Flipping her blonde ponytail, she cockily turned to her classmates who were watching in awe and said "Beat that!"

Shaking his head Mizuki called on the next student, "Yamanaka Naruto".

Naruto strolled confidently right after into the center of the training field with his hands placed lazily behind his head. Picking up some kunai and shuriken Naruto couldn't help but notice that these were different than regular weapons. The ones he had gotten were dulled. Shrugging it off as an extra layer of the genin exams, he began to throw them at the targets. Now Naruto has never been at good with throwing sharp objects like his sister was, but he was at least competent he ended up getting a 7 out of 7 on both. Grinning at Mizuki-sensei he walked back towards the others

"Now that this is over, we need to go back inside so Iruka-san can test you on your genjutsu, ninjutsu, taijutsu, and the academy basics" Mizuki said, as he lead them back inside.

Watching his students file into the classroom Iruka began to speak "Ok we will now begin the Genjutsu test." After watching all his students either fail at casting a genjutsu or succed. Only a few were able to successfully make one was Sasuke Uchiha, Yamanaka Ino, and Sakura Haruno. Sasuke blew both girls out the water with his genjutsu, but Ino was a close second contender.

Getting everyone's attention, he moved onto the next portion of the test: Ninjutsu test. Many of the kids from a clan used their clan jutsu, while every civilian kid either failed or performed on of the academic basics except Sakura who surprisingly did a e-rank medical ninjutsu that healed a paper cut.

Handing everyone who passed a headband "Congratulations to everyone I handed a headband too! Now I want you all to know that I'm extremely proud of you, and that I want you to come here first thing tomorrow morning to find out who your Jonin leader and your future teammates will be, dismissed."
