Chapter 3

Graduate!

"Naruto, wake up honey." Iris gently shook Naruto from his deep slumber.

"Mwh?" Was his incoherent reply.

"It's time to wake up honey. Today is genin exams and you don't want to be late do you?" at this the small blond shot out of bed and rushed to get dressed.

"Thanks for waking me mum!" he yelled from his bedroom as Iris closed the door behind her. Shaking her head with a small smile adoring her oval face she walked to the kitchen to get breakfast started. Placing the toast and eggs on a plate Iris listened to the racket going on upstairs. The small smile still on her face she relaxed in a chair and wrapped her hands around the warm coffee mug. After a few minutes she was greeted with a yellow flash flying by her, only stopping for a second to grab the breakfast she had set up for him.

"Thanks mum! See you later!"

"Good luck!" Iris replied just before he shot out of the door, his breakfast in hand.

The small boy raced across town hurrying to the academy where he would take his greatest test yet. A test which would challenge his mind, body, and spirit. As he ran the boy ate the breakfast his mother had set up for him.

Finally he reached his destination. The large structure which he had run into the previous day after his attack on the grocery store. Entering the massive building he walked to his classroom and went up to the furthest corner in the back and sat down.

As he seated himself the school bell rang calling all the students previously out in the courtyard socializing into the classroom. The first to arrive was a pale boy with black hair styled like a chicken butt in the back, and obsidian eyes. Stoically the young man sat down in close to the window and waited for the late bell to ring before the last session of school began where he would—obviously—become a gennin. The first step before he could kill his most hatted obsession…his brother, the infamous Uchia Itachi. Right behind him a group of squabbling girls came in following a bickering pair of girls. Both were pretty in their own right, but increasingly annoying.

"I got here first Ino-pig! So I get to sit next to him!" A girl with bubble-gum pink hair exclaimed in victory smirking to the pale blue eyed, blond haired girl glaring at her.

"Na hua!" Ino exclaimed pushing Sakura out of the seat, "I was here first Billboard brow!"

"You little!"

"Girls!" a small man with brown hair and a scar running across his nose yelled, "Hinata-chan will be sitting next to Sasuke-kun. And you two will sit up-front where I can see you. As for the rest of you," the class stood frozen waiting for his instructions, "you will get out a pencil and get ready for the written exam." Before the man was finished speaking the entire class was in order. As soon as the class was in order the man passed out the papers and stated, "You will have exactly 64 minutes to complete this test. No more. If you finish before the 64 minutes are over you can go outside and start stretching with Mizuki-sensei." With that he sat down at his desk and started grading papers.

After the exam the students all meet outside in the courtyard for the weapons part of the exam. The goal was for each student to be able to hit the target with at least three shrunkin and three kunai. The closer you got the the bulls eye the more points you got. With more points the student had a higher likelihood of passing…only two students marked the bulls eye with all ten weapons—five of each.

Next came the taijutsu exam. Most students did rather poorly on this part of the exam as not many of them were very serious about physical conditioning, but rather the "oh so cool Sasuke-kun!"

Lastly was the jutsu exam. Every student was required to create at least one clone, do a henge. If you could do a replacement then you got more points. By the end of this exam the students were graduated to genin, or failed.

Naruto passed with the highest grades.
