I've got over 2000 hits! That makes me happy!

Thank you all for your confirmation on the nee-chan thing.

I am almost positive that this will be a ShikaNaru, because the "love" vibe between Narue and Sasuke is really really……...bad. –Shifty eyes-

Also there's the fact that I don't like Sasuke, At all. -Dodges bottles thrown by SasuNaru fans.-

Enjoy!

-Mayu ;P

Innocence

----------------------

Another half year has passed, and now it was the graduating exam. Many students were worried and others were laid back, awaiting the test. Narue and her brothers were sitting at the back, joined by only one other person, Hinata.

The shy girl had joined their "group" a little over a month ago, Sakura and her fellow fangirls had been teasing her when Narue walked up and punched the ground they were standing on. It had taken the teachers 2 hours to get the screaming girls out of the deep chasm.

Now, Hinata was like a new sister to Narue, and the blonde was ecstatic about her family growing even more.

A loud cough came from the front of the room, and yet no kid took any notice to it at all. A vein popped out on Iruka's forehead, and he screamed, "THE EXAMS ARE STARTING NOW, SHUT UP AND PAY ATTENTION!!!"

You could hear a pin drop in the silence as the kids in the room stared at the hyper-ventilating dolphin. Straightening his vest with a huff Iruka continued in a controlled voice, "The first half of the graduation exam will be a written test and the other half will be a ninjutsu/genjutsu test of henge, bunshin and kawarimi, we will begin the written test in 5 minutes."

The classroom erupted in talking again and Iruka dropped his head in his hands, kids never learn.

"So Narue, do ya think, you'll get through the written test?" Kiba asked the girl.

Narue nodded, "I remember al lot of things and have been studying with mommy every night!" she grinned proudly.

"You're probably going to get a higher mark then me then, I haven't studied a word." drawled Shikamaru, relaxing his head in one hand and smiling lopsidedly at Narue.

"But your like really, really, smart Shika-chan!" Narue's wide blue eyes blinked.

Shikamaru frowned as Chouji and Kiba erupted in laughter, "Don't call me chan" he muttered, pouting slightly.

A hand pulled on Narue's shirt, and she looked down to Hinata, who was timidly trying to get her attention. The clear-eyed girl pointed to the other side of the class silently, at Sasuke and if looks could kill, they all would be 18 feet under.

"Oh, ignore the brooding meanie Hina-chan! He's just jealous of our prettiness!" Narue said loudly, attracting some attention. The other kids snickered while fangirls protested.

Iruka stood at the front of the room and cleared his throat again, this time the kids quieted faster and sat in their seat.

"I'll be handing out the tests now, please do your best and actually write the answers down!" Iruka gave a pointed look to Shikamaru who only yawned in return.

Throughout the test, the room was quiet except for the scratching of pencils. Narue sat chewing her lip and twiddling her hair as she read the questions.

Question 1:

Who are the Sannin and what are they known for?

Narue smiled, this test will be easy!

Around an hour later, most of the kids had dropped their pencils and were waiting, stretching their cramped fingers.

"The next test will be conducted in another room before a panel of judges. I'll call you all in alphabetically starting with….Aburame Shino!"

As the people were called, the others mingled around and talked. Narue and her friends started a game of go fish, and consequently, Shikamaru was whooping in all their asses.

"Do you have a 7?" "Awe, Shika! You're so mean!" a bout of laughter arose at the little blonde expense, as she handed over her card with a pout.

"Akimichi Chouji!" Chouji breathed deep and stood, walking over to the door.

"Yay, Go Chouji-kun!" Narue yelled after him, turning back to her cards Narue concentrated, pursing her lips.

"Anyone have a 5?" she asked and looked around, they all shook their heads except for Hinata, she nodded and handed over her card. Fumbling with her cards a bit Narue grabbed it, unknowingly flashing them all with her cards, not that they said anything of course.

One after the other, they were called up and they all returned wearing a forehead protector. Some random students failed and looked downcast as they returned to their seat.

The exam continued into the day, and the five stopped their card game, ending up standing around talking. Narue was illustrating her point on how girls are short and boys are tall to Shikamaru when her name was called.

Quickly running over to the room, she stood in the middle in front of the judges, ready do anything.

"Alright now Narue, can you give us a henge?" Iruka asked kindly to his student.

Narue nodded, making the correct hand sign and announcing the technique. Poofing into Iruka and back was no problem at all for the tiny girl. Tsunade and Jiraiya made sure to teach her this at a young age, so she can do it easily now.

Iruka nodded, "Good, now please do kawarimi with this log beside me." He waved his hand at the object and observed as she poofed and switched places with the log.

Now it was bunshin, cocking her head Narue tapped her cheek with her pinky.

"Uum, Iruka-sensei? Can i do a different bunshin? I can't do the basic bunshin." Iruka was confused by the question but answered anyways.

"Yes, as long as it's a bunshin." Narue nodded and made a cross with her fingers saying, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" A poof of smoke erupted from her and obscured view for the teachers.

After it had cleared, there stood four extra Narues and she was leaning on one, smiling at the panel. After overcoming his shock, Iruka stated, "Such a jutsu for an academy student, the difficulty of the jutsu earns you extra points, good job Narue." He held out a leaf forehead protector for the girl to take.

The small blonde smiled widely and rushed forward to grab it. Tying it tightly to her forehead, she walked out grinning like mad. She was finally a ninja! Running up to her family, Narue pounced on the standing Shikamaru's back, causing him to yelp.

"I did it! I'm a ninja now! Just like you!" They all congratulated her patting her on the back and head. Sliding off Shikamaru she jumped into the conversation with a little more energy than usual.

Once everyone had finished their tests and sat in their seats facing Iruka, hardly anybody listened to his speech about "Being a Shinobi"

Hearing only the last part, the students all filed out of the classroom, looking forward to telling their parents and families about their accomplishment.

"Come back in two weeks, and you will be placed in three man teams with a sensei. Thank you and live your life to the full, as a genin."
