Running with Adam was hard; it was like he never got tired. We had been running for 3 hours straight and my body said stop but my heart said go. I'm a very competitive person, even if I know I'm going to lose I try my best to not lose that badly. What made it harder was the different climates; one minute I'm cold, the next I'm hot, and the next I'm being blown away. I was sweating oceans, ( I'm glad I haven't passed out yet).

"So Adam how long have you been living here?" I asked jogging on the side of him breathing heavily.

"I've been living here for twelve years." Adam answered.

"Wait, so my dad has been hiding this secret from me for more than twelve years?" I realized.

"It might seem that way but he hid this to because he didn't want your whole life to be about training and fighting." Adam said

I realized he was probably right. I decided to forget the whole Dad lied to me thing and focus on other things. "So Adam what about school do we ever go back or what?" I asked.

He looked at me while he talked this time. "The only reason Ryan and I went to that school was to make sure you were ok, but since you're here we won't have to go back." He answered.

His answer didn't surprise me, I knew once I got here I wouldn't be turning back and I was glad. I didn't want to go back to that boring life.

"Let me guess, the Training Ground is for the students to train and learn their chakra nature so they can move on to the places with the elements on the door." I said.

Adam looked surprised. "So you figured it out already. I bet I know something you don't know." Adam led on.

"What is it?" I asked excitedly.

"That each one of those doors has a special section for each clan, just in case." Adam explained.

"What do you mean by just in case?" I said with emphasis.

"Let's say I'm from the Hyuga clan and somehow I learned water style jutsu, so I would go to the Hyuga section of the water training room." Adam explained.

"I have another question. If the test I just took wasn't the genin exam, what is?" I asked curiously.

Adam turned inward, toward the lake. "Come on, I'll let Sensei answer this one." He said a few feet away. I followed Adam to the lake trying not to get hurt in the various terrains and met up with Sensei who was in his usual spot under a tree next to the lake. I heard splashing coming from the lake, the sound of Bane and his water buddies training.

"Hey, you two, what can I help you with." Sensei said as he stepped out of the darkness.

"We came to ask you a question. When is the genin exam and what is it?" I asked strongly.

"Oh yea, I forgot to mention, we are taking the genin exam today." Sensei said.

I feeling of dread and worry washed over me. "What, I just got here!" I said sacredly.

Sensei looked at me with a calm face. "Don't worry; we still have three hours to train you." Sensei said in a comforting voice.

"Ok, it's not over yet. Sensei let's get to training!" I said excitedly.

"Adam, you can go train as well." Sensei commanded.

"Yes Sensei." Adam responded and vanished.

"So what do we do first?" I asked.

"First we find out what chakra nature you are. Bane, bring me the chakra paper." Sensei commanded. Bane grunted and disappeared. When he reappeared he had nothing in his hands. "So where's the paper?" Sensei asked.

"There isn't any." Bane responded and when back to training.

"Wait no paper, so how are we going to figure out my chakra nature?" I asked worriedly.

"We'll have to go one by one and see which nature you have. Let's start with the Wind Style.

Sensei taught me the hand signs and I was ready to try it. I formed the hand signs as I remembered. "Wind Style: Rumbling Wind Wall!" I cried out. I didn't feel any wind at all. "Damn it, not that one!" I cursed.

"Ok, next we'll do Earth Style." Sensei commanded.

We went to the Earth area and Sensei taught me the hand signs and I noticed they were totally different from the wind style ones. "Ok, I'll get it this time! Earth Style: Rock Staff!" I cried out. There weren't any rocks changing shape.

"It's not that one either. Let's do.." Sensei finished saying after being interrupted by the intercom.

"All students please report to the examination room for the genin exam." Mrs. Wong's voice said.

"What, I haven't even learned what my nature is." I said depressed.

Hey everyone! I hoped you liked this chapter it was mostly just to learn some things but the next chapter will have some fights so I'm excited. Don't forget to review.
