Chapter Four: Genin test.

Naru and Rina were walking on the road heading back to Konoha talking to each other to pass the time. It had been six years since Naru, Kyuubi, and Rina had gone on their training trip and they had missed their home village a lot. They couldn't wait to see it again.

"So Onee-chan, what do you think Ojii-san will say when he sees us?" Naru asked putting her hands behind her head.

"I bet you he'll be smiling like crazy when he sees how beautiful you've become and be thanking Kami when he see me. I swear he was probably lost with out me to help him in the office" Rina Replied with a laugh.

Naru laughed at that. Naru hadn't changed her look much sense she left, though she did add one thing to it. They were two katanas in jet black sheaths with a crimson rose on them, on her back like an X. She also had her phoenix on her shoulder. It was about the size of a hawk with flame like feathers and blue eyes. It was truly a sight to behold, yet to Naru Blaze was so much more. After he had hatched from his egg Blaze and Naru had not been apart from each other. They trained together, shared their food, (they meaning Naru always cooked) and Blaze would even stay close to her when she was bathing like a watch dog or bird in his case.

"So are you nervous about taking the Genin test?" Rina asked as Konoha's gates were coming into view.

"No. I know I'll pass no problem, so there's nothing to be nervous about" Naru said happily as she began to run to the village gate.

"Halt what is you name and purpose in Konoha?" One of the two Chuunin guarding the gate asked the two of them when they made it to the gate.

"Rina Senji and Naru Uzumaki returning from a six year training trip to help her get use to being blind and locating a teacher to help her to have a chance at becoming a ninja" Rina said while handing the Chuunin their papers.

The Chuunin got a disgusted look on his face at seeing the "demon" was back and was tempted to turn them away if not for an ANBU agent landing near them. "The Hokage has been waiting for you. If you'll come with me I'll take you there. No need to have any trouble with civilians on your first day back as it would seem you have had with the shinobi" The cat masked ANBU agent said looking at the two Chuunin for the last part.

"Thank you" Rina said with a bow of the head before she and Naru both followed him to the Hokage tower.

They arrived at the tower with little to no trouble as they mostly stayed to the rooftops. Though the ANBU agent was a bit surprised to see that not only was Naru having no problem traveling by the rooftops, but had managed to keep up with them without any problem at all. 'Wasn't she blinded six years ago? That's why they left so she could get use to being blind, but their should be no way she can be able to still be a ninja without being able to see' The ANBU thought as he knocked on the door to the Hokages office.

When they heard the Hokage tell them to come in Rina opened the door only to have Naru run past her in a blur and tackle the poor old man.

"Ojii-san!!" She yelled happily as she hugged Sarutobi who hugged her back while chuckling.

"Welcome back Naru-chan, did you have a good trip?" Sarutobi asked as he pulled Naru off of him and leaned back in his chair.

"Yep" Naru chirped still smiling like crazy. "We went to lots of places and I trained my absolute hardest. I should be able to pass the Genin test no problem"

"That's good to hear I guess I don't have to worry about being the Hokage too much longer then will I?" Sarutobi said with a smile. "The test is tomorrow at the academy Room 208. You'll be taking it with Iruka's class so be there at 8am okay Naru-chan"

"Okay Ojii-san I wont let you down" Naru told him with a look of determination on her face. "Oh by the way Ojii-san meet Blaze-kun" Naru Said gesturing to the flaming bird that just landed on her shoulder. He had flown off when she ran in the room while thinking it would be in his best interest to do so.

Sarutobi gave a warm smile as he looked at the phoenix on Naru's solder. "Nice to meet you Blaze-san I do hope you took good care of Naru-chan for me while you guys were out training"

Blaze looked at Sarutobi for a few seconds before chirping and nodding his head.

"Well good luck tomorrow Naru-chan. Rina-chan you can give me your report tomorrow when you come back to work. Its bin hard not having you around" Sarutobi said taking a puff from his pipe.

"Of course Hokage-sama" Rina said then turned to leave.

"I'll come over after I'm done here so we can come up with a cover story for some things" Sarutobi said before getting back to his most hated enemy…paperwork.

"Bye Ojii-san" Naru said waving before leaving with Rina to stay at her house tonight. Since she probably doesn't have her apartment anymore.

Iruka walked into his class room to see most of the boys talking. One boy appeared to be sleeping and the one next to him was munching on a bag of chips. There was a boy in the front row by the window looking out of it with most of the girls around him asking him for dates and yelling at each other to stay away from him and that he's theirs.

"Okay-class quiet down" Iruka said only to be ignored by the class as they kept on talking and messing around.

"Iruka you'd think you would learn by now that, that's never going to work. Just use the big head no Jutsu so we can move on" Mizuki said from off to the side in a laid back tone.

With a sigh Iruka performed his big head no jutsu to get the class attention "SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!" He yelled and the class quickly quieted down as everyone took their seats. "Okay class as you know today is the Genin test, but before we take it I would like to introduce a new student who will be taking the test with you" Iruka said once he had all of their attention.

"What how come he gets to take it even though he never went to the academy!" A boy with a dog on his head shouted with others shouting in agreement.

"Because the Hokage said so" Iruka said with an annoyed look on his face and one of his eyes twitching.

Hearing this the kids looked shocked and some started whispering things like "Who is this person?" or "Why would the Hokage order that?"

Sighing Iruka looked to the door. "You can come in now"

The door slid open and in stepped a girl with medium length red hair that was tied in a pony tail. She was dressed in a black long sleeve shirt with flames going up the sides stopping at the beginning of the sleeve, and was wearing black ANBU style pants, a kunai holster on her right leg and Shuriken pouch on her left hip and black shinobi sandals. Over her eyes she wore a black silk cloth with a crimson red rose in the center of her eyes, and wore a cloak like the one the Yondaime Hokage use to wear, but with some key differences. Instead of white it was a dark blue with gold flames at the bottom and on the back was a phoenix with a crimson red rose in its beak, the kanji for Crimson on the right side and rose on the left. She had two katanas strapped to her back in an X like pattern, and a hawk like bird on her solder that looked like it was on fire.

"Hello, my name is Naru Uzumaki and he's Blaze-kun. It's vary nice to meet you all I hope we can be friends" Naru said as she bowed in a polite jester.

"Dose any one have any questions for Naru-chan before we get on with the test?" Iruka asked knowing what was coming next.

"Why are you wearing that cloth over your eyes? Isn't it hard to see were your going?" a girl with blond hair asked

"No I never have a problem seeing with this thing over my eyes" Naru said and left the rest up to Iruka or Mizuki to finish as she didn't like to say it.

"The reason Naru-chan wears that cloth over her eyes is because she was blinded by a kunai when she was six years old" Mizuki informed the class while moving to stand behind Naru.

"Iruka-sensei if she's blind how can she be a ninja?" I pink haired girl asked looking confused and the rest of the kids agreed with her.

"You're right Sakura. Normally one who is blind can't be a ninja, but Naru-chan here is a special case. She can see, just not with her eyes. In her clan which was wiped out long ago, they had a technique that allowed them to "see" in places the eyes can't. I think they called it a chakra radar" Iruka said lying with ease. The Hokage, with the permission of the Kyuubi told Iruka, Mizuki, and Kakashi about what he was doing with Naru. As they were like her older brothers and cared for her so much and would have flipped if they found out she was gone.

"What kind of bird is that and why dose it look likes it's on fire?" A random boy asked and all the kids looked up to hear the answer even the boy who was looking out the window and the boy who looked to be sleeping were now paying attention.

Naru smiled at that. "The reason Blaze-kun looks like he's on fire is because he is. Blaze-kun is a phoenix. I got his egg from Sarutobi-jiji, whom my mom asked to hold the egg until I was ready to have it. Because of my clans bloodline, we have phoenixes for a partner like an Inuzuka and their dogs or an Aburame and their bugs" Naru explained while thanking Kami that Sarutobi, Rina, Kyuubi, and her came up with a cover story last night.

Seeing there were no more questions Iruka began to speak again. "Naru-chan can you have a set next to Sasuke. Sasuke raise your hand so she knows were to sit" A boy siting by the window in the front row raised his hand. Naru thank Iruka and walk over to the empty chair next to Sasuke and sat down Blaze flew from her solder and landed on the top of the desk.

"Okay class what Mizuki is passing out is the written part for the test. You will have one hour to finish. Any questions?" Iruka told the class while Mizuki passed out the test. "Okay then you may begin" he said after he was sure there were no questions.

Naru "looked" at her paper and sighed. 'I thought it would be a lot harder then this. Oh well, that just makes it easier for me to pass' Naru thought as she wrote in the answers. After she was done she "looked" at the clock to see she still had forty minutes left till this part of the test was over so she decided to take a nap and asked blaze to wake her up when it was time for the next portion of the test.

After the hour was up Iruka told the kids to put their pencils down and, blaze woke Naru up so that she could hear the instructions for the next part "Okay class head out side so we can continue the test" All the kids started to head out side. Naru stayed by Mizuki and Iruka until they got to the academy's training ground. "Okay in this part you will throw ten kunai and ten Shuriken at the dummies and will need to hit six out of ten to pass" Iruka explained before calling the first person up to take the test.

Naru sat back "watching" as one after another the kids went up not really "seeing" anything that caught her attention, until the kid she sat next to went up.

"Next Sasuke Uchiha" Iruka said and handed the boy ten Shuriken and kunai then stepped back.

Sasuke took the weapons handed to him and stepped up to the throwing line that was set up and aimed before he threw a kunai at the target. It hit dead center and he repeated this one after another before moving on to the shuriken which had similar effects. After he was done Iruka looked at the targets "Nine out of ten for the kunai and eight out of ten for the Shuriken. Good job Sasuke" Iruka said as he wrote down the results on his clipboard. "Okay next Naru Uzumaki" He said as Sasuke went to go sit down his fangirls cheering and say how great he was.

As Naru walked past Sasuke she whispered "Not bad Uchiha-san" and kept walking till she got to Iruka who went to hand her the kunai and Shuriken only to have Naru shake her head and tell him she had her own. Taking a step back Iruka watch as Naru stepped up to the line before reaching in to her kunai holster with one hand and Shuriken pouch with the other and withdrawing ten of each item and launching them at the targets without even bothering to aim. She did it so fast that the only way you could tell she did anything at all was the bluer of movement and twenty different thuds. Iruka and Mizuki along with the rest of the class looked at her with shocked expressions on their faces. Looking over at the targets Iruka dropped his clipboard not believing what he was seeing "T... t.. ten out of t... t... ten f...for both of th... th... them" at that news every one looked at the targets to see she had hit dead center of all the targets and dropped their jaws except for one who was shaking in anger.

Smiling at her work, Naru gave a sharp whistle and Blaze flew from her shoulder and went to garb her weapons. After he came back and gave Naru back her weapons and landed on her solder she patted him on the head and gave him a cracker and promised to make him his favorite meal when they got home.

After Iruka managed to reign in his shocked expression he called for the last person to go up. "Okay were going to take a break for lunch then will meet back here to finish up" Iruka said before he dismissed them for lunch.

After getting dismissed, Naru left to go sit under a tree to rest before the next part of the test started. She was just about to go into a light sleep when some one started to talk to her. "Hey who taught you how to do that, and what's this about your clan being wiped out long ago. Also whats this bloodline of yours?" The person asked in an arrogant tone.

"Looking" up Naru "saw" Sasuke standing in front of her with his fangirls right behind him like little lost puppy's. "I don't see how that is any of your business Uchiha-san, and I would appreciate you not asking about my clan like you have some right to know" Naru said before laying down and attempting to fall asleep.

"Hay don't talk to Sasuke-kun like that. You should be happy that he's even talking to you at all!" shouted the pink haired girl from earlier, her name was Sakura if Naru remembered correctly.

Sighing before getting into a sitting position again Naru turned her head to face Sakura. "You know, I really hate girls like you. Always thinking about boys and worried about how you look instead of focusing on your training to be a ninja. It's fangirls like you that give kunoichi's a bad name and make us look weak and unable to do anything" Naru said sound really annoyed.

Sakura was pissed at hearing this 'Who does she think she is?' she thought and was about to start shouting when Sasuke walk up to Naru. "I wont ask you again. Who taught you how to do that, what happened to your clan, and whats this bloodline of yours" Sasuke said to her in a demanding tone.

"I'll only say this once, so listen well Uchiha-san. My clan is none of your business, and you have no right demanding things of me. You may be the last loyal Uchiha in Konoha, but don't you dare think I'm one of your pathetic fangirls who will give you anything you want if you ask. Further more I may be blind, but I can still put you in your place if need be. So word to the wise, control your Uchiha pride before I roast you alive" (sorry for the cheesy, if not bad rhyme. Couldn't help my self) Naru said before standing up and walking back to where Iruka was standing, leaving a very angry Sasuke in her wake. 'How dare she, I'm an Uchiha how dare she treat me like that. Though out of all the girls I've seen, she is the only one that's worthy of being called a Kunoichi. Also she wont give into what I say, hmm she would make a great mother for the new Uchiha clan' Sasuke thought as he walked back over to Iruka to await the last part of the test.

"All right for the last part of the test you will have to make two bunshin. Are there any questions?" Iruka asked. Seeing Naru raise her hand Iruka called on her. "Yes Naru-chan what is it?"

"Iruka Onii-san-sensei, I can't do the bunshin no Jutsu. I simply have way to much chakra and can't get it down to the amount required to do that Jutsu. is it all right if I use kage bunshin no Jutsu?" Naru asked in an impassive tone.

"Well that should be alright, but Naru-chan the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu is a jounin level jutsu. How did you learn it?" Iruka asked shocked that she know that jutsu. Hearing that she could do a jounin level jutsu every one in the class, but Sasuke looked at Naru with shocked expressions. Sasuke only looked at her in anger. 'How does she have such power? I should be the one with it, I'm an Uchiha damn it!'

looking at her segregated older brother Naru sighed "I learned it when I went on my training trip with sensei and Onee-chan. Sensei after trying for a month to teach me the Bunshin no Jutsu concluded that I have too much chakra and taught it to me. He also taught it to me for another reason, but if you don't mind Iruka Onii-san-sensei I would like to keep that to my self. Or at least not tell you and Mizuki Onii-san-sensei with every one here"

"That's okay. I think I know the reason and I bet you if you give that secret to Hokage-sama he will give you something really nice" Iruka said smirking. Mizuki also catching on started laughing his ass off. " And to think he's call the professor, god of shinobi and has known about that jutsu for what twenty, thirty years. Yet her Naru-chan not only learns it, but applies it. That's just to much hahahaha" Mizuki some how manages to get out through fits of laughter. "Yes Naru-chan now I know why he's always saying that if anyone's going to take that hat from him it's probably going to be you and now I believe him" Iruka said through his own chuckles.

"While I am grateful for you praise Onii-san sensei's, I don't think now is the time. As we have a test to finish. I'll be sure to stop by Ojii-san's office after it's over to give him the secret and save him from his mortal "enemy" as he would put it "the dreaded paper work" and I wonder if Onee-chan has started tormenting him again yet?" Naru said/told/asked. At that moment there was a yell that could be heard all over Konoha that came from the Hokage's office. "Well I guess that answers that. Also how in the world can he still yell like that? He what 60, 70?" asked Naru as she looked in the direction of the tower while Mizuki just laughed harder, all the other students looking on were confused and Sasuke wondering what the secret behind the jutsu that would make the Hokage do anything to get and yet not know while still knowing the jutsu itself.

"Alright every one lets get back to the test. First up is Chouji Akimichi" Iruka said after Mizuki managed to stop laughing.

"I would like to congratulate all of you who passed and wish the one's that didn't better luck next year. For one's that passed please come here tomorrow to get your team assignments" Iruka said dismissing them and walking out of the room.

Naru walked out of the academy with her new hitai-ate tied around her waist like a sash. Hearing her big sister call her name Naru walked over to her. "Hay Onee-chan I told you I'd pass no problem and also did you add more paperwork to the stack when he wasn't looking again to make Ojii-san scream like that. It can't be good for him" Naru told/ asked Rina as they started walking home as Rina had adopted Naru earlier that day as they had grown even closer over the years they spent together training.

"Hay, I've got to make up for lost time and I've got six years worth to catch up on" Rina said with a smile on her face.

"Sorry Onee-chan, but I'm going to show mercy on him and tell him the secret to Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Besides if this keeps up he's going to have a heart attack and I wont be able to take his hat then" Naru said while grabbing her sisters hand and turning off her chakra radar while handy and useful it still takes chakra to use, so she only used it when she had to or to look at people to "see" who they are or if their talking to her. other wise she just uses her enhanced senses to get around or has her sister help her.

"I guess you right. Oh well it was fun while it lasted" Rina said with a sigh as she change direction and started heading to the Hokage tower so that Naru can "save" the old man from his torment.
