Soma stared at her test blandly. Nothing was written on it yet, and she highly doubted anything would be. 'I'm not suppose to cheat… but these are really hard questions… oh what the hell… I'll just copy off this dude,' she thought. 'God… it's obvious they want us to cheat… hmm… I've got an idea…,' Katara thought. "Shadow Masquerade Jutsu," she whispered.
'Man this test is easy,' Troah thought, he looked over at Katara. 'Hmm… looks like Katara is giving Soma a hand as well.' After training with Katara and Soma he learned to recognize their jutsu's, even if others didn't know they were using them. Without the knowledge of the examiner, shadows of Katara made their way around the room, looking at answers and passing them on to Katara and Soma… so Soma no longer had to try and look at the test of her neighbour.
They moved quickly, almost invisible to the naked eye. Only those who knew what they were and what they looked at would ever have the chance to spot one, but even than it was difficult.
"Oh thank God!" Soma exclaimed, as they followed their sensei, Anko, outside. "I was a little worried about the exam," she continued. "Hey… I was helping you, you shouldn't have been worried," Katara said. "You tried to help me… but I didn't need it," Troah said. "Except for the last question!" Katara laughed. "Shut up!" Troah said, laughing slightly.
"Don't get too excited… these exams are tough," Anko warned. "We know… we're just having a little bit of fun… that last examiner was freaky," Soma said. "Everyone is freaky to you," Katara said. "No… just those who look freaky," Soma said.
Troah looked at the no trespassing signs around the chain-link fence that surrounded the forest. "What do we gotta do in the forest?" he asked. "That's the forest of death… weren't you listening at all?" Katara asked. "He was too busy reading the signs," Soma said. Katara shook her head slowly, "fool," she muttered.
"So we got the Heaven scroll," Soma said, "that means we need the Earth scroll right?" Katara nodded, "we're probably going to have to kill to get it," she said. "So… it's survival of the fittest…" Troah continued. "We're all going to have to pull our own weight, if one of us falls… all of us do," Katara said, "understood?" Both Troah and Soma nodded in response.
