CHAPTER NINE: GENIN EXAM Part 1

(Time: 10:42 am

Date: 6/04/12 AK

Location: Roof tops near the Hokage monument)

"I knew it had to be them!"

"You four are going to pay for what you did to the Hokage monument!"

The Marauders were laughing their heads off while jumping from roof top to roof top at a slow pace, just enough to see the two enraged Chuunin tailing them.

Naruto laughed, "Give it up, you guys are way out of our league."

"I think its time we lose these amateurs," Robert said earning a nod from his fellow pranksters. The four quickly jumped off the roofs and landed in the main road running. Once landed, Robert made a few hand signals meaning, 'Escape plan X-42.'

Tyler quickly went through some hand seals, "Doton." He then did a front hand-spring. His hands touched the ground as he completed the technique, "Doroku Gaeshi no jutsu." A stone barrier popped up in front of the Chuunins so fast they didn't have time to react. So in the end they faced planted in the wall leaving a fairly deep impression. (A/N: Ok that's got to hurt.)

"Those damn brats," one of the Chuunin grumbled while pealing himself from the stone wall.

"Come on, we can't let those kids get away," the second Chuunin said rubbing his face.

The two Chuunin went around the stone barrier and ran at full speed to make up for lost time that the marauders gave themselves. Once the Chuunins were a safe distance away, Tyler dropped his bloodline and became visible again, while Robert and Naruto lowered a blanket that looked like it was made of rock that both they and Hinata were hiding behind.

"They aren't very good Chuunins if they couldn't see us," Robert pointed out giving Naruto a High-five.

"I can agree with that," Hinata said happily.

"Ditto."

This last voice caused the Marauders to freeze. Slowly looking up, only one thought was going through their minds, 'Crap!'

"Hi guys, whatz up?" Iruka asked smiling down at the marauders while sitting on top of the wall that Tyler made.

Naruto smiled and chuckled nervously, "Hehe… Iruka-sensei, what are you doing her…"

"Busted," Iruka interrupted very seriously.

Time: 10:55 am

Date: 6/04/12 AK

Location: Second floor of the ninja academy (Class Room)

"I'm very disappointed in you four, graffiting all over the Hokage monument," Iruka said upset. (A/N: Keep reading it gets better)

Naruto, Hinata, Robert, and Tyler were in the middle of the class room tied up back-to-back with the only thing SPATANs couldn't break, several hundred layers of chakra enhanced steel rope. "Like we care," Robert said coldly.

Iruka sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "However," he started looking at the tied up marauders. "I am grateful that this 'prank' wasn't as big as the others."

"Oi, Tyler," Naruto called out looking over his left shoulder at Tyler who was behind him, his back facing him.

"Yeah?" Tyler replied looking over his right shoulder.

"Do you have a feeling we forgot something important?" Naruto asked with a confused expression on his face.

Tyler blinked, "Now that you mentioned it," he said looking at the ceiling facing forward. "I do feel like I forgot something important."

It only took Tyler a couple of seconds to realize what he had forgotten, "Uh-Oh."

"'Uh-Oh?'" Hinata questioned trying to look at Tyler. "I don't like 'Uh-Ohs'. 'Uh-Ohs' are rarely good."

"What did you forget?" Naruto asked curiously.

Tyler looked back at Naruto. "Paint," he said full of fear.

Naruto raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean by 'pai-," his eyes widen in realization. "Aw-Shit."

!BAAAAAMMMMM!

The whole academy shook violently causing several people to fall down or crawl beneath their desks, like they were told to do when an earthquake were to hit. Robert Knew all to well what could shake the foundations of the academy like this.

The shaking soon died out and the students came out from beneath their desks. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Ino and Sakura asked yelling in unison.

"Let me guess…" Robert said with enough venom that would send chills down even Orochimaru's spine. "You touched them didn't you?" he finished trying to look at the two 'Dead-men-walking' who were behind him.

Tyler and Naruto looked at each other before looking at Robert, " Mayyybe…" they said innocently.

Robert sighed heavily, "Hinata, please remind me to pound these two idiots later," causing Naruto and Tyler to turn white as a ghost.

(A/N: WARNING, Randomness here)

"Hey everyone, look outside," shouted one of the girls from the class shouted while looking out one of the windows.

All of the other students, except the marauders who were still tied up, rushed or walked to the nearest window to see Konoha filled with colors. In truth, it looked like a hippy decided to get creative with the town.

"Its Rainbow Monkey land," Ino said squealing like a young girl, causing all the other girls, except Hinata, to start singing.

"Rainbow Monkeys, Rainbow Monkeys, Oh-so very round and super chun-."

"SHUT UP!" yelled the guys of the class in annoyance.

(A/N: Randomness ending.)

After a few minutes of being told what the punishment is, getting untied, and a good pummeling, because the marauders weren't around during the Henge review, the entire class had to do it all over again. Right now, it was Sakura's turn.

"Henge no jutsu," she called out, turning into a copy of Iruka.

Iruka nodded. "Good job Sakura," he said as Sakura dispelled the jutsu and jumped for joy.

"Next, Uchiha Sasuke." Sasuke stepped forward and quickly turned into Iruka.

"Good work, Sasuke," Iruka said with a smile at his best student as he turned back and went back to his spot inline. "Next, Uzumaki Naruto."

"This is all you and your friends fault," Ino said trying to make Naruto feel bad.

"Like I care," he said taking a few steps forward putting his hands in a ram seal.

"Oiroke no Justu!"

Poof! "DUMB ASS!" WHAM! BAM!

(Time: 4:12 pm

Date: 6/04/12 AK

Location: Rainbow tie-dyed Hokage monument)

Naruto was trying to nurse the two rather large bumps on his head he had received from Robert and Tyler. 'Guess having a mind of a twenty-five and twenty-six year-old is getting to them,' Naruto thought making a mental note never to do the Oiroke in front of them again.

"I'm done," Robert informed Iruka with the face of the second Hokage.

Iruka nodded, "Ok, you can go, Robert. I'm treating everyone to Ramen after they are done, want to join?" he asked.

Robert shook his head, "I like to, but can't this time. I need to talk to the Hokage about something," he said trying not to disappoint Iruka. "Can I take a rain check?"

Iruka smiled, "Of course."

Robert returned the smile by giving Iruka the 'SPARTAN smile' and tossed both his bucket and cleaning brush back to Iruka, who caught it easily. "See ya," Robert said back flipping off the monument leaving a stunned Iruka behind. Robert landed with his feet on the Hokage tower with a light thud.

"SHOW OFF!" Tyler and Naruto yelled back down to Robert.

"AND DAMN PROUD OF IT!" he yelled back, making Iruka and Hinata laugh.

Next Day

(Time: 1:47 pm

Date: 6/05/12 AK

Location: Second floor of the academy

Occasion: GENIN Exam)

It's been around 30 minutes since Iruka started calling names to take the exam and so far all that were left was Robert, Tyler, Sasuke, and Naruto. Right now, Robert and Naruto were dead nervous. If Robert and Naruto were anything alike, it's that they can't pass a test to save their lives. No matter how much they study, they either got Cs or Fs.

Robert was working on some designs for a small glider/weapon to keep his mind off of the exam. On paper it looked like the one Aang used in Avatar: The Last Airbender, only more modern and slick. If he could get the right chakra seals on it, it would help Konoha, allowing them to do air reconnaissance and strikes. He had the math down and making it would be easy with Ten Ten's parents help. The problem would be the seals supposed to go on it; they would have to allow the user to control the wind to a certain extent, just enough to allow the glider and rider to control the wind over the wings.

Robert was brought out of his thoughts when Iruka called him. "Robert, it's your turn," Iruka called from behind the exam door.

"Good luck man," Tyler said as Robert put down his pen and stood up.

"Thanks, can you watch my blueprints till I get back?" Robert asked while making his way to the Exam door.

"Sure thing," Tyler said as he and Naruto looked at Robert's blueprints.

Robert sighed as he entered the room and closed the door quietly behind him. The room itself was rather large. In front of the door on the other side of the room were Iruka and Mizuki sitting at a table with the Konoha headbands on the table.

"Ok Robert," Iruka said getting Robert's attention, "you have to make three acceptable clones. If you complete that then there is an extra credit you can do."

"You may start when ready," Mizuki stated dryly.

"Right," Robert said bringing his hands into a ram sign. "Bushin no Jutsu"

Poof, poof, poof!

Three clones appeared around Robert, however their shoulders were a bit lower than the originals and they were also a lighter color then the pure jet black color in Robert's armor. But either way, they were acceptable.

Iruka nodded and motioned Robert forward. When Robert was close enough to him he handed Robert a Konoha headband. "Congratulations Robert, you pass. You'll have to work on your Bushins, but other than that you're free to go," he said with a proud smile.

Robert looked down at the headband before looking back at Iruka, "Can I still do the extra credit?" he asked tilting his head to the side.

Iruka nodded, "Sure, all you have to do is a Henge."

"However," Mizuki interrupted causing Robert and Iruka to look at him. "It must be something neither Iruka nor I have seen," he said with a smug smile on his face.

'Something neither of you have seen, huh?' Robert thought, grinning evilly. 'Then I got the perfect one,' he thought

"Alright," he said taking a few steps back. "Here goes, Henge!"

Meanwhile back in the class room

"I can't make heads or tails of this scribble," Naruto said trying to figure out Robert's blueprints.

"I wonder what's taking him so long," Tyler asked his two friends getting impatient.

"Yeah," Naruto said as he placed the blueprints back down. "I thought he would be out by now."

"You think he's ok?" Hinata asked.

Tyler sighed as he put his hands behind his head. "Knowing him, he's perfectly fi-,"

POOF!

RRROOOAAARRR!

High pitch girly scream followed by a solid thud.

"Maybe I'd spoken too soon," Tyler said raising an eyebrow.

The doors to the exam room opened up to reveal Robert with a headband tied to his right arm. Tyler noticed he had a small swagger in his step; walking like he was king of the world.

"What happened in there?" Hinata asked him as he sat back in his seat between Naruto and Tyler.

"Oh nothing, I just transformed into a Hunter, causing Mizuki to scream like a little girl and faint," Robert explained calmly crossing his arms.

Tyler snorted into his hands where his mouth would be, before he started to laugh uncontrollably. Both Naruto and Hinata were confused. They both looked at each other before looking at the SPARTANs, asking the question that was on both their minds, "What's a Hunter?"

"Well," Robert started while working on his blueprints again. "It's a big alien that stands 3.65 meters tall (12 feet) and is almost completely covered in blue-green armor with large spikes on its back. It has a large shield made of some unknown alloy on its left arm while it has a weapon called a Fuel Rod gun welded on its right arm."

"Sooo… It's a like a Juggernaut?" Naruto asked trying to piece together the description.

"Almost," Tyler said regaining his composure from his laugh fest. "But if you hit them with a Rocket or shoot in the right spot, they are usually dead before they hit the ground."

The exam door creaked open with Iruka's head popping out. "Tyler, before you can come in, can you please get the smelling salt from the nurse's office?" Iruka questioned.

Tyler turned to his friend, "Damn dude, what did you do? Put him in a coma?"

"I wish," Robert mumbled under his breath.

Sorry for the long awaited update. But going to another story helpped alot. I'm already thinking up a sequelfor this story if every thing goes as i hope. It would be another anime crossover, but thats all I'm saying for now.

But until then, this is SPARTAN-251, sighning off...(Click)
