All the genin began their test, except Konohamaru. "Oh man! I didn't know there would be a written portion!" Konohamaru thought. He looked over at Moegi, sitting across the room, and she was struggling also. He then looked at Udon, who was sitting next to him, and to his amazement Udon was finished. "How the hell are you finished?" Konohamaru whispered. Udon looked up and shrugged his shoulders as if it were nothing. Konohamaru was bewildered, and just a little frightened at how fast Udon finished. Then all bewilderment and fright left as a thought entered his head. "Oh! I can copy off of him!" He thought. But he remembered what the proctor had said at the beginning: "No Cheating! If you do you will be disqualified!" Konohamaru didn't want to be disqualified, so he tried to see what the test was like. He looked at the first question. "If Ninja 1 throws a shuriken at you from a distance of 1 meter 5 seconds before Ninja 2 throws a shuriken at you from a distance of half a meter, which shuriken would probably hit you first?" The question read. "What the fu...How the hell am I supposed to know that?" Konohamru thought. Konohamaru then thought about copying off of Udon again. But, just before he peeked at Udon's test the proctor yelled, "You! I said no cheating! You're disqualified!" Konohamaru's heart stopped and his eyes began to swell with tears. He began to stand up to leave, but then noticed that it was another ninja the proctor was yelling at. Konohamaru then let out a huge exhale, but before he could get back to his test, "Time's up! Everyone put their pencils down!" The proctor yelled. "Crap, I'm gonna fail!" Konohamaru thought.
"Now, before I check the tests this is you're chance to quit." Kankuro said. Everyone straightened up in their seats, except Udon. "If you didn't pass the test you will never be able to take the chunin exam again. However, if you quit now you can be spared, but if you quit your teammates will be forced to quit also. So, it's your choice." Kankuro said as he smiled. Several ninja stood up and left the room. "Anyone else?" Kankuro asked. Konohamaru swallowed hard and began to stand up, but Udon pulled him back down in his seat. Konohamaru looked at Udon, confused, but Udon continued to look at the proctor. "Alright then. Congratulations to all those who stayed, you are moving on to the next portion of the exam." Kankuro said. "What? But you didn't even check our tests?" Konohamaru yelled. "This test wasn't to measure you're intelligence as much as it was to measure your will." Kankuro replied. Konohamaru then sat back down in his seat. "Now, if we're done with the interruptions, I will escort you to the next part of the exam. Follow me." Kankuro said.
He left the room and all the genin in the room followed. While they were walking Kankuro was thinking. "I remember that brat from the Leaf Village from when I took the exam. He's grown a lot. He kinda reminds me of Naruto." Kankuro thought as he smiled. They then stopped at a huge canyon on the outskirts of the village. There they saw a woman with blond hair and a huge fan on her back. "My job is done here. See you later sis." Kankuro said as he disappeared. "Welcome to the Desert Basin. My name is Temari and I am the proctor for the second portion of the exam. There is a temple somewhere in the middle of this basin. There are no rules, your only objective in this portion of the exam is to make it to that temple. You have one week to reach the temple. If you don't make it in a week from now, you're disqualified. Good luck!" She said. All the genin were hesitant at first, but eventually they jumped down the rocks into the Desert Basin. The second part had begun.
