That OC thing? I never said anything. (Innocent whistle)
Kinda fillery…

Chapter Six-Examination

The first stage was presided over by one Morino Ibiki-and it was easy. Neji and Sasuke worked out the meaning of the test like lightning, Hinata close behind them, and they used their dojutsu to pass. Shikamaru was intelligent enough that, with a troublesome expenditure of memory, he remembered the answers.

The others were given the answers by some slight glinting reflecting into their eyes-Tenten's work.
By the time the tenth question arrived, they were all utterly confused, including Naruto, who had initially been worried by the difficult questions.

Some of the other teams quit. Only about thirty-five left when Naruto lost his patience-still a huge number.
"Get on with it already!" said Naruto. "None of us are gonna quit."

Ibiki scowled. A show of confidence like that… no way were any more of them going to be quitting.
"Very well… you all pass."

There was a moment of silence.

And then an eruption of noise-which was cut short by the sound of hooves.
Another moment of silence. Hooves?

Hooves?

The window shattered, a horse leaping through and destroying the glass. Dropping from the creature's back was a woman, with wavy hair down to her shoulders and cold blue eyes. She wore a billowing cloak over a loose skirt and flak jacket, which seemed to cover a skintight black suit much like those worn by Guy and Lee.
"Yo!" she proclaimed. "My name is Tenshi Sayna, and I'll be your proctor for the second part of the exams, and… why are there so many of you?" she asked, looking closely at the number of remaining students, more than a hundred.

"Sayna-san…" groaned Ibiki. "I wasn't finished…"
"You're finished now." she said brightly. "Besides. I need you all to meet up at the Forest of Death tomorrow morning, 9AM sharp for the second stage of the test!"
"Nine AM?" said Tenten to herself. "That's late."
"What's that, gorgeous?" asked Sayna, suddenly behind her. "I like to sleep in. Your point?"
"Ummm…" said Tenten, impressed and slightly scared. "No reason."
"Good! I will cut your numbers down by at least half." she grinned wickedly. "Anyway. Tomorrow, pretties~" she said, leaping onto the horse, and leaving at an incredible speed.

"Who… the hell was that?" asked Kiba.
"Tenshi Sayna. One of the three students of the Heaven Sage." said Ibiki. "They returned only a few days back, and most of the jonin were bias due to a particular organisation, so they picked them."

Naruto whistled innocently at the 'particular organisation' comment.
"Anyway." said Ibiki. "You're dismissed. Good luck for tomorrow, everyone. Especially you lot, Wolves."

"Damnit Ibiki!" said one of the jonin. "You said you wouldn't be bias!"
"You trust the interrogation leader?"

"We're back." announced Naruto, opening the door to the Wolf House, the other's following him-after a large celebratory meal at Ichiraku's.

There was a cry, a chorus of eleven voices.

"How did you do?!?"

"We all passed." said Shikamaru, the only one level headed enough to answer through the surprise of the welcome crowd.

Nara Daiki, Uchiha Yuuta, Hyuuga Hizashi, Inuzuka Tsume, Seiha Shiori, Maito Gai and Yamanaka Inoichi, teaching family skills to the group. Anko, teaching what amounted to how to creep people out. Hayate, who had given Lee and Tenten, plus to a limited extent Hanma and Kame, Kenjutsu instruction. And Kurenai, trying her best to teach Genjutsu to a group including only two suited to it, only one of which was interested.

And Umino Iruka, the official team leader, whose skills had increased exponentially, learning as much from the others as he helped teach.

"Hellyeah!" shouted Anko.

"Good (cough) work." said Hayate.
"I knew you could do it." smiled Kurenai.

"Break out the sake." said Yuuta-who had formed a bit of a habit since the massacre-and discovered a propensity to the drunken fist that had him surrounded by jonin when he went near alcohol.

"Nuh-uh." said Iruka. "You need to be training for tomorrow."

"Whaaaaat?" said everyone else in horror.
"Kidding." he said. "But you can get up early to train."
"Done and done!" they chorused.
