Chapter 3

The Genin Exams

It has been three years since Naruto started watching Itachi's little brother. Today the Genin exams are to be held. He and Sasuke have become very close as of late.

-Riiiiiiiiiinggggggggggggggggggg- "Argh why does the academy have to start so freaking early." Naruto said completely exasperated " I mean I was out all night keeping Sasuke's fangirls from taking him while he slept, I mean God they are persistent."

"Well at least your skills haven't dulled" Kyuubi stated in his mind " I would actually say they have made an improvement."

"Quiet Kyu-chan." Naruto thought "man having someone in your head is somewhat fun oh so troublesome."

"I heard that Naru-chan." Kyuubi thought offended "I resent that I am not troublesome or is that what you thought when I kept healing you when you were younger."

"I wanted to die back then." Naruto yelled

"Well then you wouldn't have ever met 'tachi." Kyuubi huffs out.

"Okay okay I apologize sorry." Naruto was saying quickly "If she gets angry with me not even Kami-sama will be able to help me."

"Yep and don't you forget it." Kyuubi says pride fully.


"You heard that." Naruto thinks. While thinking this Naruto gained a sweat drop on the back of his head. He then took notice he was completely ready for the day. He finally notices he had two minutes to get to the academy. "Should I do some huge flamboyant entry or not."

"Run you fool you have one minute fifty two, fifty one."

Naruto then took off not like the wind he was the wind. In order to get there fast enough he used wind chakra to his feet and sped through Konoha like the devil himself was on his tail.

"Where is Naruto he's got 3…2…1…" Iruka thought

-Boosh- The door to the classroom flew across the room and our hero walks in.

"Am I late." Naruto exclaimed

"No Naruto." Iruka mumbled completely shocked." you're right on time."

"Yes oh yah I am not late." Naruto yelled. "Kiba you owe me twenty dollars."

"Naruto damn it." Kiba muttered. "Why do you always have to beat the odds?"

"I don't know." Naruto said. "Now pay up."

"After the exams." Kiba mumbled looking dejected.

"SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN." Iruka screamed.

Right after Iruka shouts everyone does exactly like he says. Naruto now he usually sits next to Sasuke though because he was so late the only seat left open was next to Shino.

"Where to sit?" Naruto thinks. He then sees the only seat open. "Well it could be worse I mean Shino isn't a bad guy just he doesn't like me cause I act too loud." He then starts to walk toward the seat. Once he gets there Shino says, "Hello."

"Hey Shino."

Naruto then sits down with an ungraceful plop. "Ugh what kind of exam is this going to be?" Naruto thinks

"Whatever it is I know you can pass it." Kyuubi says playfully. "You were in ANBU before these gakis were even close to here."

"What's with the vote of confidence you usually put me down?"

"I thought a change in pace was in order. You're going to be a genin." Kyuubi says mockingly.

"So you were being sarcastic." Naruto blanches.

"Yep."

"Naruto Uzumaki would you please come take your exam." Mizuki says scornfully.

Naruto gets up and walks toward the back room where Iruka and Mizuki were waiting for him.

"Okay so what do I have to do?"

"Create three bushin."

"Fine." Naruto puts his hands into the cross seal we are all so familiar with. "Kage Bushin." Naruto yells. Then out of thin air come five perfect solid clones.

"When did the demon learn that jutsu?"

"Why does he need to show off?"

"So do I pass?"

"Yes why did you do a more advanced clone jutsu?"

"I can't do bushin."

"Oh well here is your head band."

"I wonder what 'Tachi is doing right now."

"Mr. Weasel do you think Naruto is okay right now." Itachi says to her stuffed animal. "Hey I remember when I first got you."

Flashback

"Hey 'Tachi here is your birthday present." Naruto says overly excited.

"What is it?" Itachi asks suspiciously.

"You have to open it first."

"Is it some sort of trap?" After asking that Itachi looks at Naruto and sees his face is set in stone. She can see that he is trying incredibly hard not to let his face show the emotions in his eyes. Those Eyes that look like the sea on a stormy night with rain coming down harder than a punch from Tsunade.

"Okay I'll open it but if it is a trap you're dead. Got it?"

Naruto's face lifts immeasurably with those words. "Yep I got it."

Itachi opens the wrapping paper cautiously but quickly because she was curious as to what was in it. Once the wrappings were out of the way she could see a plushy not just any plushy but a hand made weasel with red sharingan eyes and a leaf head band and two plush kunai in its hands. "Naruto I don't know what to say." Itachi says completely shocked out of her mind. "This is the best present I have ever gotten."

"Oh it isn't really that great –" He never got to finish his sentence because Itachi had already tackled him to the ground and was squeezing the life out of him. "'Tachi stop can't breathe."

Itachi loosens her grip on him. "Sorry it really is the best gift I have ever gotten."

Flashback end

"Well she is your partner Kisame be nice or else."

"Okay why would I be mean" Kisame says offended.

"You almost shaved Hidan's parts off for calling you fish face."

"Well he should know I don't like that name." Kisame pouts. "I am also really sensitive."

Kisame then notices Leader wasn't even there anymore. "Might as well introduce myself." He thought. Kisame then walks through the door. What he sees is a pair of red sharingan eyes. "Oh crap"

"Are you my partner?" Itachi says to the seven foot two light blue skinned man. She first notices he has a muscular build but not too much. The next things noticed were his eyes both were a deep ocean blue. His face was very smooth and round like with his gills positioned in a cute way. All around she thought he wasn't bad looking.

"Yes now could you stop staring at me like you're going to see through my soul." Kisame said to the five eleven girl with a lithe figure. She had two lines from her eyes that accented them. Her lips were a light rose and they looked oh so soft. Her pale complexion was brought out by the red eyes she still had spinning.

"Fine may I know your name?"

"Sure I am Kisame former member of the seven shinobi swordsmen of the Mist. What is your name?"

"Uchiha Itachi."

"Welcome to Akatsuki partner."

"Thank you."

"Hold on you're a S-class criminal and you hold onto a plushy like it is the most important thing in the world."

"Don't insult Mr. Weasel he was made and given to me by someone very precious."

"Wow sorry I didn't know he meant that much to you."

"How could you have known that?" Itachi says forlorn looking.

"Well night girl."

"Night Mr. Shark."
