Heyy! I'm back with another chapter!
I hope you all like it! Tell me what you think and R&R!
Last Time:
"What is it Ino-chan? What's wrong?"
"Sakura, I have a crush, before I tell you who it is, I want you to promise me not to get angry."
***
"Sasuke-kun, I want to tell you something, so when I say it please don't hate me," I coughed back a tear, "I think, I'm in love with you."
"Ino... I'm sorry but I will never, ever like or love you"
***
"I thought about what you said, about liking Sasuke, and I've decided, I'm sorry, but from on we are rivals, in power and in love!"
Chapter 4/5: (This is the real chapter four!) Genin
It's been four years since Sakura and Ino became rivals, they are both currently twelve years of age.
Ino had grown alot since she started studying in the academy, she was now 147cm tall, she also grew her hair longer upon hearing that Sasuke liked girls with longer hair, it was now just below her waist, she still had bangs covering her right eye, but instead the lock of hair was longer. Over the past few years Ino had started changing her clothes into a proper ninja attire; she now wore a purple sleeveless top shwing her belly with a purple skirt going down above her knees with slits on the sides, bandages also covered her thighs and stomach. She wore the normal blue ninja sandals to finish the look off.
Sakura was now competitive as ever, no one would tease her anymore, they were now scared of her. She wore a red chinese style dress, slits going up to around her waist, with tight shorts above her knees, and the blue ninja sandals.
***Ino*s**P*O*V***
Well today is the day! It is the Genin Exam.
I've trained very hard, since I became rivals with Sakura four years ago, I've asked my dad to train me, today I'm gonna pass the test with top marks, I'll prove to Forehead that I'm stronger, smarter and way better looking.
So anyway, I'm heading over to the academy... oviously --' , I'm just about to take the test. I hummed my favorite song; Bad Romance, by Lady GaGa while on the peaceful stroll, until-
I HEARD THIS LOUD SQUEAKY VOICE CALLING ME!
"Oi! Ino-pig heading off to the academy are you? Well, that's a shame! Me and the other girls in class had a bet if you were gonna come at all today! Aww, I bet 10 bucks that you wouldn't! Hmm. But, who the hell cares! Everyone bet 10 bucks that you wouldn't have the guts to even get out of bed!" Yep, you guessed it, it was the good-for-nothing-forehead-Sakura.
"Aww, you poor thing losing your allowance for two months. I mean, who gets only $5 a month on allowance? So anyway, YOU had a bet with the girls? How nice, I for one, had a bet with the boys! We bet, who would be the least likely person to come today? And as ALWAYS, everyone bet on you! Even Sasuke-kun! He bet me a the MOST LIKELY girl to come and take the exam!! So ;P Sucked in!" I yelled back, I knew everyone could hear us, and I knew that they know I was lying, well I was lying about the betting thing, but not the allowance thing! Who knew that she would only get 5 buck a month! A MONTH! I get $45 a week! (AN://That's possible, my sister gets that much each week! And she's only in Grade 7!)
"Huh? I doubt it! The only friend you have is the loser Uzumaki!" Sakura retorted.
"Oh? At least I have one! You're ugliness repells everyone!" I growled, "I bet people that don't even know you and need someone's help, wouldn't want yours! Look at you! You're Pathetic, you laugh at someone for only having one friend, when you don't even have any!"
Sakura dead in jer tracks, so I stopped as well, looking back, I saw her looking at the ground, then she started shouting at me, "ME? PATHETIC!!! AT LEAST I WOULDN'T STEEP SOO LOW AS TO BECOME FRIENDS WITH A PATHETIC, WORTHLESS, LITTLE ORPHAN!!!"
At that, I snapped, I knew we were already late, I should have already been there in the academy, but no, I was too busy arguing with Sakura. I then quickly ran up to her and punched her on the face, making her fall down on her back. I could tell she was shocked, because she wasn't moving. But she quickly snapped out of it and stood up narrowing her eyes, then quickly running to me trying to kick me, but I doged by jumping up, then I felt something connecting with my skull, I looked up to find Sakura smirking.
I fell to the ground in pain.
"Hmm, who knew that you were soo wea- Oh! Wait! I did!!" She yelled arrogantly.
I got up, wincing in pain during the process.
The Academy
"Alright class, I hope you have all came prepared, because today is very special, it's the Genin Exams!" Iruka eyed everyone, but found that there were two people missing, two girls in particular. Iruka looked around the class again, to see if he just missed them, but they weren't there.
"Umm. Has anybody seen Sakura or Ino today? It's not like them to be late, especially on a day like this."
A girl with raven hair and lavender eyes put her hand up and spoke, "A-ano, Iruka-sensei, I s-saw I-Ino-san today leaving h-her h-h-home, I'm pretty sure she should b-be h-here, b-b-because her dad had w-wished her luck for the e-exams just b-before she l-left."
"Thank you Hinata-san, I'm sure she should be here soon then," Iruka smiled at her, and she blushed, she didn't really like people paying attention to her, "Now. Has Anybody seen Sakura?"
Nobody put their hands up.
"No? Well, that's a sha-" Iruka was cut off by the door being slammed open.
"I-Iruka-san!" The guy with spikey hair panted, "It's Yamanaka-san and Haruno-san! -pant- -pant- They're having a fist fight right outside some villagers homes!"
"WHAT?!"
"Kotetsu! Stay here and start the exams for me, if they're both critically injured, I might not make it back before school for today ends." Iruka ran out the door, while Kotetsu nodded at him, eyeing the class talking amongst themselves.
"SAKURA!! YOU BITCH! TAKE BACK WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT NARUTO!!!" I yelled kicking her but missing.
"NO WAY IN HELL!!! BESIDES!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH TELLING THE TRUTH!!" She leaped a few feet back before charging at me again.
"WE'RE NOT IN HELL!! AND YOU AREN'T TELLING THE TRU-"
"Ino! Sakura! Stop it now! Break up the fight!" Iruka-sensei, got in our way, Sakura and I were shocked, we couldn't stop running, we were about to hit Iruka-sensei, when he grabbed both our wrists, and pulled us so we were both facing him.
"Look you two, I know about your rivalry, but you two had to choose today out of all days to start a fist fight?!?!" Iruka sort of yelled at them.
I was scared, Iruka-sensei has never ever been this rough before, so I spoke for Sakura and I, "Gomen Sensei, I guess we got soo worked up for the genin exams, that we started testing our strength by fighting."
Iruka-sensei looked at me and I pouted. He sighed, "Very well Ino, you two are off the hook, but if this ever happens again, I promise you, that you will automatically be forced to go back to the academy, and take the test again, with the younger years."
Sakura and I gulped and nodded.
"Well then, shall we go have the exam now?"
"Well, since I was gone for only a few minutes, I see that Kotetsu has only explained to you what you are doing. Ino, Sakura, you and the class will all be doing tests that will evaluate you on your Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijjutsu, and your intelligence."
I nodded.
"Now first, we will start with ninjutsu. It is very simple, all you have to do is use the Shaow Clone Jutsu then henge them into the third using the Transformation jutsu. Now first up is..."
I waited for my turn to be called. I clenched my fists in frustration, 10 minutes has gone by, and he still hasn't called my name.
"Akimichi Chouji"
"Aburame Shino"
"Haruno Sakura"
I looked up and watched Sakura do as she was instructed.
"Not bad Sakura, everything was excellent, only the colour was the problem, the Hokage robes are a little too dark. Other than that, magnificent!" Iruka-sensei commented Sakura, and she smirked and I frowned, but look in the bright side, I won't make the same mistake she did.
"Hyuuga Hinata"
"Inuzuka Kiba"
"Nara Shikamaru"
"Uchiha Sasuke"
I looked at Sasuke dreamily, it was certain he was going to complete the henge without any mistakes, he is an Uchiha afterall! And I was right, Iruka-sensei complimented him, saying that it was a perfect henge, no mistake what so ever.
He then called up the next person.
"Uzumaki Naruto"
I looked at my blonde friend smiling, he would probably pull a joke. And again, I was right, Naruto used the Shadow Clone jutsu and henged it to a girl version of him that's ehem -naked- but the private parts of the woman hidden.
Iruka-sensei's jaw dropped and got a nosebleed while Naruto grinned, sensei then shook his head and came back to his senses, wiping the blood away, "NARUTO! HOW DARE YOU DO THAT!" I held back a laugh, Iruka's face looks soo funny right now.
"Now, do that again, and properly this time." Iruka instructed Naruto, "Okay.. I'll try."
Naruto then used the Transformation jutsu and created a copy of the third Hokage, but instead is was very pale, short, and it couldn't stand up.
Naruto then went away and looked at the ground.
"Yamanaka Ino"
I stood up at hearing my name being called out, I looked at Sakura and saw that she was smirking, so I glared at her.
I was soon at the front of the class facing Iruka-sensei, I took a big breath in, and Iruka-sensei told me start whenever I'm ready. So I started, using the Shadow Clone Tecnique, I made an exact double of myself, then I pictured the third in my mind wearing the Hokage robes, making handsigns, I preformed the Transformation jutsu, when I looked to the side I saw my clone, it looked perfect, well to me anyway.
"Well done Ino! It's perfect," At that I smiled, "I'm surprised! You actually made it look exactly like Sasuke's one!!" Then I frowned.
Iruka seeing my frown laughed, "It's ok Ino! I was only joking!"
With that, I walked back to my seat and smirked, eyeing Sakura.
"Now it's time for the Taijutsu Test."
-------
"Now that that's over, the Genjutsu test."
------
"We will now have the final test, you will be given a worksheet asking you things about what you have learnt during the past few years you have been here."
------
"Congratulations, you have all passed with outstanding marks! You are all now oficially Genin! Yes Naruto, you have passed, you may have failed the ninjutsu exam, but you aced the taijutsu and genjutsu tests. And you JUST passed the intelligence test! Congrats to all!! Now if you can all just come up to recieve your forehead protectors.. You will be coming back here tomorrow and your teams will be announced, you will also be able to meet your new sensei."
THE NEXT DAY
"Now it will be time to announce your new teams, as you all know each team will consist of 3 people, two boys and one girl. The Hokage has chosen these teams as he thinks you will do well in them. And please no complaints about what team your in, you were put in them so you can get stronger, alright? So, let's start."
OMG! I can't believe I'm actually a Genin! I also can't believe the tests were that easy! So anyway... Yipee! I hope I'm gonna be in the same team as Naruto! Ooh! And Sasuke-kun too!
"Team 7; Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto," I crossed my fingers, I knew it wouldn't happen though, I need to be in Shikamaru and Chouji's team, "and Yamanaka Ino."
My eyes widened, I can't believe this is really happening!
"Team 8; Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, and Haruno Sakura." I coughed back a laugh, ahahaha! Sakura got dog AND bug boy!
I looked over at Sakura and couldn't help but giggle at the sight of Sakura trying to keep her cool.
"Team 10; Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Chouji, and Hyuuga Hinata."
"Again congrats on making it this far! Your senseis should be here soon." With that Iruka-sensei left the room.
I wonder how my new sensei is going to be like, "May I please have team 8!" A girl with black messy hair, and red eyes entered the room, and came out with Sakura, Kiba, and Shino.
A few more minutes passed and there were only two teams left waiting, one of them being mine.
"Team 10." With that Shikamaru, Chouji and Hinata walked out, leaving my team alone.
"OMG!!! How much longer!" I yelled, "It's been three frickin' hours!!"
I groaned, not seeing Naruto walking up to the front of the class.
"Naruto, stop being an idiot." I heard Sasuke, so I looked at what Naruto did, he was going to pull a prank on our new sensei for being late.
I didn't say anything. Hey! This might actually be funny, so I'll just watch.
Then the door slid open, and the brush fell and hit our sensei on the head.
"My first impression on you guys is; I don't like you.."
I laughed hard, all he could say was 'I don't like you'! I mean what was that!
There you have it! The continuous bit when they take another test and when they introduce eachother will be on the next chapter!
