Today was the genin exam day. Or at least it was. And I was looking forward to it, at least I was. Okay, here is what happened. Last night I was showing Iruka my ninjitsu, what happened after that was something incredible – I think?

*FLASH BACK*

"Funny you should say that." I smiled at him. "I want you to dodge everything I threw at you. Agree?"

"W-wait, what was it that you we –" Iruka stopped in mid-sentence because he had to dodge the tree that was being thrown at him. He looked at me bewildered.

"I didn't touch the tree; now pay more attention Iruka-sensei." I did a hand sign and rocks were floating in the air and I sent them flying at Iruka. He dodged and the rocks stuck where he was standing before. I did the next hand sign which made me disappear and appear behind Iruka, I threw a punch and he went flying but as he hit the ground a log seemed to appear and Iruka was nowhere to be seen. 'Man he's good at dodging.' I looked around and spotted him on a branch behind a tree on my left. I did another hand sign, and I melted into the ground, but really I was inside the tree that Iruka was sitting on. I waited for the right moment to burst and caught Iruka by surprise, we both fell down. I made Iruka go on to of me and I ended up cushioning his fall. He seemed surprised at my change in position.

"Kuro! You all right? KURO CAN YOU HEAR ME? SAY SOMETHING!" Iruka was worried so much I had to laugh. "DON'T LAUGH! YOU'LL END UP DYING!"

"Its all right, Iruka –sensei." I propped myself up on my elbows. "I have enough healing ninjitusu knowledge to heal broken bones, just help me lean on this boulder here."

Iruka helped me as I said. Once I was placed I did a hand sign and I was encased in a green orb for twenty minutes. After I finished healing, I got up and checked my bones. They were all healed up. Iruka was looking me over and noticed that I didn't have any shoes on but had socks and they were very dirty.

"You come to my class barefoot?" He exclaimed in surprise.

"Ya, feels comfortable. Ya know?" I told him, shrugging my shoulders.

Iruka shook his head. Then he changed the subject. "Your jutsu's are above the Chunnin level! It's a waste to keep you in my class, you have to go into a team ASAP!"

*END OF FLASH BACK*

After that Iruka woke me up this morning and practically dragged me to see Kakashi-sensei.

Making a living without saying anything is a great life experience. It doesn't matter if I know everything or not. All that matters is that I'm having a great time being a ninja. So yea I got dragged by Iruka to meet Kakashi and his team 7.

"Hey! Kakashi! Over here!" Iruka yelled at a person who was jumping from rooftop to rooftop. He stopped and came down where we were standing.

"What's up Iruka?" Kakashi was reading his usual 'ichi ichi paradise' that Jiriya had published.

"I want you to meet Kuro Shinigami. He is a talented youngster, I tested him yesterday and saw it was a waste to keep him in classes of speech." Iruka explained some of my techniques that I used on him.

"Meaning?" Kakashi interrupted Iruka in his speech.

"Oh, yeah! I want you to put him on you team." Kakashi looked surprised at this so he looked me over. He stopped at my socks; his eyebrow raised in question.

"What the hell you lookin' at?" Looks like my socks were the center at attention these past few days.

Kakashi seemed to be amused at my remark. Then he looked at Iruka. "I'll take him in. How old is he?"

"Eight." I but in. Kakashi thought about it and nodded.

"Not a bad age either. All right come with me Kuro-kun. See you later Iruka!" It took us five minutes to reach team seven, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke. But it didn't take long for Sakura to spot us.

"YOU'RE LATE! MAKING US COME HERE EARLY WHEN YOU DON'T COM YOURSELF!" Sakura was furious as always. Then after all that she noticed me. "Umm, Kakashi-sensei, who is that? Is he your kid?"

Kakashi ignored the last question. "Everyone I'd like you to meet Kuro-kun. Iruka sensei saw something in him but he refused to teach him anymore."

"Oh, hey! You're that kid Shikamaru brought into Konoha!" Naruto had a face as if a rock hit him. Ismiled a 1% shadow smile, it was a trick that I learned the week before. If you give the 100% shadowsmile the opponent will blow up. Sure enough I did it on a tree, and it did blow up. It was so cool!

Sasuke Just glared at me with his infamous Uchiha glare, Heh heh heh. Looks like he's gonna hate me for the rest of his life.

"Now let's go into the forest, and start training. And Kuro-kun show me what you can do." He messed my hair.

"Ya!" I start running after team seven, knowing it was gonna be a great day, who cares on following the script and such? Going off-script will be fun!

(=^x^=)

We reached the place where they trained. Kakashi motioned for the other three to sit down while he made me come forward. He took out a bell and I Knew what he wanted.

"I want you to take this bell away from me." He explained it shortly. "Go!"

I started running towards Kakashi, but he dodged and disappeared. But I still kept going.

"What's he doing?" Sakura whispered to the others.

"Huh. He's useless." Sasuke grunted.

"Who you calling useless?"

"You of course." He answered before he noticed that I was the one who he was talking to. His widened and he jumped off of the log. I laughed.

"You're so funny! You know that? Ya?" I wiped a tear from my eye.

Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto looked at me dumbfounded. It was like this for two minutes, before Sakura broke the silence.

"Wait. If you're here then who is that?" She asked pointing to the other me.

"The other me, of course!" I smiled. They all looked at each other, when another question came up.

"You mean like a doppelganger?" Naruto piped up, curiosity pecked at him.

I thought about it for a while before I suggested it. "Mm, almost like it. You learn how doppelgangers take the damage for you? Well mine is like that except for one thing. Sure I can make a doppelganger of myself but there's only one difference between my kind of clone and a doppelganger. A doppelganger disappears after it is attacked, but not this clone. Ya. This one endures the attacks given but it will show on the original person who made the clone."

They all looked speechless, at the new clone I introduced.

"B-but won't you die because of this clone?" Sakura questioned.

"Sure I will, but the point is not to use this clone in battle. It's more like a training clone." I lectured them on how it was great for training specialties.

"I have a question!" Naruto seemed like he had ants in his pants.

"Ya?"

"Then what about the bell?"

"Oh~~~, you mean this?" I smiled as I took out a bell that Kakashi was supposed to guard. The other three looked stunned at the bell I took out.

"No way~~~~~~~! It's not real!" Naruto grabbed it and inspected it as closely as possible. Sakura and Sasuke joined him in his inspection.

I let them inspect it to their hearts content. While I sat and looked at my clone jumping from tree to tree. It will take Kakashi time to know that what he's going up against isn't me. I just smiled at the thought.

Kakashi's POV

'What did Iruka see in this kid? He just jumps around while coming near me but I candodge him just in time.' I started reading my book and that's when I hear Kuro's voice.

"Got you Kakashi-sensei!" Hesmiled sweetly as he grabbed my shoulder.

"You're supposed to get the bell, Kuro-kun. Not me." I sighed as I looked at him. That's when I realized he looked different. Then he vanished.

I looked at the space where Kuro-kun was, then it struck me, 'The bell!'. My hand hits my hips when I clipped it at the beginning of the endurance test. It wasn't there. The doppelganger didn't reach for it, so where was it?

"Hey Kakashi-sensei! Come here!" Naruto yelled. "Kuro is AMAZING!"

I appear from my hiding spot and find Kuro lying down sleeping, not a sweat on his face. Naruto ran up to me and showed the bell that was missing.

"Kuro, got this off of you! And it's REAL!BELIEVE IT!" He squealed.

I look at the bell and for sure it was the very one I had clipped on my hip. Kuro sent a doppelganger, to trick me into believing it was him. What a smart kid. But, I found out in the end that it wasn't, because he didn't sweat. Jumpin like crazy would have made him sweat like crazy, even a doppelganger , but why didn't his sweat?

Kuro yawned and got up. His eyes saw me and they flew open, as he smiled. I had to laugh; this kid was a wonder.

Kuro's POV

I woke up and saw Kakashi looking at me. I smiled at him. He started laughing. I ran up to him.

"Ya! You've figured it out!" Kakashi messed my hair even more.

"I sure did, Kuro. I sure did." He smiled. "Now tell me what doppelganger did you use? Yours didn't even sweat after all that jumping."

"The replica clone. Ya." I started explaining how it worked. He seemed to know a little about it but he didn't say anything.

On the other hand, Sasuke seemed to glare at me with narrowed eyes. I looked at him from the corner of my eye. He was glaring all right, he walked past me.

I shook my head and focused on today's training. After a few hours of training Kakashi dismissed us for the day. We all went back to Konoha. I parted with them at the entrance, and went into the forest. Oblivious to someone following me.

I kept going and did a hand jutsu. This one made a replica clone while I melted into the ground. When the guy went and followed my replica, I came out and followed him. I sped up and held a kunai to his neck.

"What are you following me for?" I whispered into his ear.

"Tch." Sasuke grunted.

"What the hell you doing here?" I let him go.

"What does it look like?" He crossed his arms and glared at me.

I snorted in response. "It seems you're stalking me home."

Sasuke scoffed, "You live here?"

"Ya. Got a problem?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

Sasuke shook his head. "Then show me where you live. If you're so high about it."

"Fine. If you want to follow then follow. I won't stop you." I turned and faced a bush. "Same with you guys."

Naruto and Sakura both stuck out their heads from the bush, I talked to. Sasuke just stared at me and at the other two before he went into cold mode. Typical.

Ten minutes later we were at the entrance of my home, when Naruto whined.

"I'm hungry. Are we there yet?" His stomach frowled and a cricket seemed to chirp somewhere. I laughed.

"Don't worry Naruto, we've arrived at my house." I smiled at him, he's still the amazing guy I've read about.

"Really! Where is it? I don't see no house! You aren't tricking us are you?" Naruto hyped up at the end of the trip.

"Calm down Naruto, this is the entrance. Welcome to my humble abode." I part the bushes and I entered. The others followed me in and stopped awestruck. Their faces were similar to team eights' faces.

"AWESOME!" Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs. He jumped from one place to another, explored every crevice that was to be found.

I turned to the other two. "Make yourself at home. I'll just go whip something up quick, so you can eat before you go. Otherwise you can stay here for the night, if you like."

"I'm up for it! I'm gonna stay here tonight! Believe it!" Naruto looked at me , and pointed. "You better cook something good! I'm starving here!"

"Sure thing, Naruto. Just leave it to me." I walk towards the kitchen on the left side of the campus.

I thought about what I was going to cook, when Sakura came after me.

"Hey, wait up Kuro-kun!" She reached my side, and continued to talk. "I want to help you cook. Do you know of any kind of soup?"

"Well I was thinking making rice and topping. But if you insist of having soup; then how about I make chicken soup?" Sakura looked confused as day. I smiled.

"What is chicken soup?"

"It's a soup with chicken, barley, peppers, celery, and onion." I explained the ingredients to her and she seemed to be taking this in. We were behind the counters and I had taken out all the ingredients, and the necessary utensils.

Sakura helped me on some of the work but let me do the rest. Watching how my hands worked out the knife, and the skills that were displayed. Back at home my parents taught me how to cook and I practiced every time I got the chance and eventually I got really skillfull. And soon I cooked for parties, funerals, sleep overs and a few contests here and there. Later I learned how to use the knife, I even made my own rule book about knives: 1001 ways of taming a knife.

After I finished cooking the soup, everyone was tired. Even Sasuke stayed! What a shocker! I took out four bowls, and filled them up. I then took it to team seven; and they just stared at it, while I dug in.

"What is this?" Sasuke poked the lumps floating in his soup.

"Which one? The chicken or the barley?" I answered, as I finished up my bowl. "Hurry up and eat it, it'll turn cold!"

They all stared at their bowls, as if it was going to eat them. Except for Naruto, he was staring at the spoon.

"How do you hold this?" He held the spoon just like any four-year old kid who was learning how to eat.

"Like this," I helped him get his position right. Once he got it right he dug in his soup.

"This tastes great! What do you call this thing?" He ate happily.

"Chicken soup." Looks like Naruto likes it; I looked over at Sakura, she was eating too. Finally I looked at Sasuke…..was that pleasure? I shook my head. That wasn't right. "Anyway. If you want more just yell. I'll be getting the outdoor camp set."

I left to find it in my little garage that I created behind my tree house's tree. I felt proud to call this my home. A straight A student wouldn't have this kind of experience in a million years. So its best if I enjoy it now, then never.

"HEEEEEY! KURO! I WANT MORE! THIS THINGS GREAT!" Naruto yelled. And some birds flew out of the trees nearby.

At the same time I found the camp set and so I took it and dropped it near the fire place. "Okay, I'll get you some more. Anybody else want some more?"

I took Naruto's bowl. Surprisingly, Sasuke also raised his bowl too, I had to resist face palming, same with Sakura. I brought back their bowls and they ate it all, they even finished my pot! So their stomachs were full. By this time I finished putting the tents up, luckily there was four of them. One for each one of us.

I finished washing the dishes and Sakura helped me put them away. Sasuke and Naruto both crawled into their own tents and fell asleep.

"Thanks Sakura. You know, you didn't have to help me. Ya?" I thanked her for helping me with the dishes.

"Now worries. It'd be rude if I just ate and slept while you wash the dishes by yourself." Sakura replied. I once did that at night after dinner and fell asleep on the sink. I guess I'm glad about the company of Sakura, since it did prevent me from sleeping on the sink again.

We both made our way to our tents. Before I went inside Sakura stopped me.

"Kuro."

"Hnnn…"

"Thanks for the soup. It was delicious." Sakura blushed. She quickly went inside her tent.

I stared at the spot where she stood. 'Did she just blush, in front of me? Now that was something bad. I hoped it was only a friendly blush, besides she likes Sasuke not me.' I shake my head and enter my tent. I dropped down on the bed I made and didn't even fight the sleep that came to me.

Well that took so long for me to publish. Sorry you guys. Well anyway I had some things that I thought about like the plushies. I won't continue them anymore but will hold little conversations with the Naruto characters. Now the ones who will be showing up next time will be…*looks through papers*….Gaara, Naruto, Kankuro, Shikamaru, and Sai. If you want a certain person to be there just tell me and it will work out.

Thanks for reading this chapter! Hope you enjoyed it!~~~~~ Please review! :P
