Anything, But Ordinary

Chapter Ten: The Tenth Question: All Or Nothing!

"Alright, everyone take a number," one of the proctor chunin said, as they walked around the room with a large wooden basket. "This number will identify where you will sit for the written portion of the exams." he came to a stop in front of Sakura. She closed her eyes and reached in to the basket, and pulled out her number. Quickly the ninja where placed in different seats. Sakura looked around her noticing that Naruto was a few rows in front of her. Glancing around the room she saw that Sasuke was to her right and up a few rows. She looked back down to Naruto and saw that he was gittering. She sighed. Great... I hope his score doesn't effect mine... She thought to herself.

Sakura reached over to grab the pencil that was to the right of her. Just as her hand made contact with the wooden pencil a warm hand landed on top of hers. She gasped feeling the warmth of the hand on hers. She quickly looked to see who the person was and was met with the blue eyes of the man who had saved her many moments go.

"Sorry." she whispered, removing her hand slowly away. The two stared at each other.

"Cheating is prohibited. If you are caught cheating we will deduct three points each time you are caught." the loud booming voice brought the two back to reality. "If you are caught cheating three times, you and your team with be disqualified. Also you will be graded as a team-"

"What! You've got to be kidding me!" Sakura screeched.

"Quiet! Now! We will begin the exam," papers where passed out. Sakura's green eyes wondered over the paper. Her eyes widened when she realized that the questions where extremely hard. There is no way Naruto can hope to pass this test! She glared down at the blonde head boy. "There are only nine questions on the paper in front of you. The tenth question will be given out 15 minutes before the end of the exam. Begin!" Sakura reached for the pencil that was to the other side of her, not wanting to risk touching hands with the boy from Ame once more.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, reading over the question once she quickly went to work answering them to the best her knowledge. Itachi who sat next to her glanced over slightly realizing that sh was able to answer the questions completely without having to cheat. She's extremely intelligent... Itachi glanced over to where Deidara sat, and watched as he practically pulled hi hair out trying to figure out what the first answer was. He than turned his attention to his other partner who was leaning back lazily in his seat.

Itachi sighed and closed his eyes before deciding he should at least answer the questions. Answer the questions in no time he went back to staring at the pink haired woman. He couldn't help but notice her clothing. The red clouds made it apparent to him that either the memory jutsu they used on her was weak enough that she could remember slight things like that, or that she had figured out how to break the seal and was able to remember fully.

Ino who sat a few above Sakura sat glaring down at her. That dumb billboard brow thinks she's so smart... Ino smirked as she formed a few hand signs and her head thumped as it hit the desk. Sakura's eyes widened, she leaned forward slightly and let out a small cough. Itachi quickly glanced over at her before realizing that she had been taken over. He glared slightly before his blue eyes turned to red.

Sakura's body shivered, Sakura lumped forward and from behind Ino let out a small scream. Sakura's body quickly sat up, she looked over to Itachi in time to see his sharingan. Her green eyes widened in complete shock. They eyes that haunted her every dream were right there. Staring her straight in the eyes. He quickly henged his eyes black to the blue. "I know who you are." She whispered. He looked over at her. "You know where my parents are?" He nodded."Can I see them?" she felt her throat tighten slightly.

"After the exam. Meet me at the dango shop." Sakura nodded before going back to her paper. She sat there quietly thankful that she had already answered the nine questions. Her heart was beating rapidly. She didn't know what to do with herself. She wanted to stand up and run from the room. It took all she had not throw up right there. Her stomach was doing twists and turns. The people she had only gotten to see in dreams since she was five, she would be able to see them once more. She glanced back over at the man, hoping he wouldn't notice her.

She couldn't help but look him over, she was well aware now that he had a henge to conceal who he really was. But she couldn't help but remember what he had looked like when she was a child, causing her face to become hot. "Times up!" she jumped in her seat. She looked over at Itachi to see him smirking. Her faced reddened once more.

"Now. Before I tell you the tenth question you all should know something." Sakura glanced around the room noticing that there where many empty seats. "For those of you who are left, if you choose to take then tenth question and answer it wrong you will never be able to take the chunin exams again!" Sakura eyes widened and the pencil she held in her hand snapped in two. She looked down at Naruto who was shaken just as much as she was. She jumped slightly feeling a warm hand on her thigh.

She looked to her right to see the blue eyed henge. "It's a trick. Do not worry." Sakura visibly relaxed. She watched as many people bowed out. Her eyes continued to stare at Naruto. Her eyes saddened, as she watched his hand shoot up. She closed her eyes and got ready to leave the room. Her eyes opened when a loud slam was heard, she stared hard at the blonde boy who slammed his hand down on the table.

"I don't care if I have to stay a genin for the rest of my life. I will be Hokage one day!" he shouted. Sakura couldn't help but laugh at his antics. After that no more teams moved.

"Well, than I'll I have to say is that you-" the man smiled.

A loud crash was heard as the window across the way was shattered. A large black ball flew in before kunia stuck in the walls creating a black tarp in front of their first proctors.

"Alright you maggots! Listen up!" A purple haired woman yelled, a fist thrown in the air. Sakura couldn't help but stare at her confused.

"I was not done," Ibiki said, as he stepped up next to her. The woman sighed.

"This woman is crazy." Sakura whispered to herself, earning a chuckle out of Itachi.
