Chapter 37

Relativity

In a very long hall, a great number of genins were reunited, not only from Konoha, but from other villages too, there was the one with the big gourd, with his two siblings trembling of fear at his feet, a boy that looked mummified, with a strange looking gauntlet, and older boy wearing glasses, all of them waiting for the beginning of the exam that will rise them in the ranks of the shinobi world, in an instant, all of them felt a shiver, like a wind that menaced to freeze them to death and an ominous presence that screamed of unspeakable horrors, and all of them looked at the gate of the hall, expecting to see the instructor that would apply the test, soon the gate opened, revealing the reason of their feeling of impending doom, the Shibusen Students, and Naruto group, minus Lee

"THAT WAS VERY STUPID AND IRRESPONSIBLE, BLACK STAR!", Maka shouted to a shrinking Black Star, she was already feared before the war against the Kishin, defeating single handed said foe just made her much more fearsome, being able to sprout massive blade from her body... just sacked up on the scary meter of said Technician

"Come on, I already said that I was sorry, I just couldn't resist the one that is called the best, look, I won't do it again", Black Star tried to sound apologetic, but his smile was not helping

"MAKA CHOP!!!", Maka's scream, and the sickening sound of the thick book hitting Black Star on the head was enough to make EVERYONE in the hall to look away and don't ask, the girl was scary, and the scary looking scythe at her back looked rater sharp, and all the genins there wanted to start the exam in one piece

"Wow, she is kinda frightening", Naruto stated, he wondered if this girl was related to his mother, and which one was harder, mom's frying pan, or psycho girl big book

"No, she isn't, she is so kind and lovely, is just that she is worried for our safety, and can't find a better way to express it to us than being strict about rules and don't separate", Chrona explained, and at his words, the entire population stopped their thoughts

'THAT GUY IS FREAKING NUTS!!!!!!!', all the genins thought at the same time, while Maka only had a faint blush, but there was one who was more interested in the most obvious thing

'Who the hell are them?!, I have no info, there is no card about them!... this can be BAD, with my psycho brother around, and the betrayal of my own daughter, this can be quite troublesome, I must move carefully', the glass wearing boy thought, while eyeing weary at the Shibusen students, feeling the life running through their weapons, soon, the rest of the Konoha genins entered the hall

"COME ON!, TELL US ALREADY!, HOW GOOD WAS IT?!", Sakura and Kiba were teasing the Living Hive to no end, and he was OBVIOUSLY not enjoying it

"I'M NOT FREAKING TELLING YOU!!!", Shino yelled, anger taking the best of him

"What are they arguing about?, I mean, Sakura and Kiba joining into teasing Shino?", Matsukaze asked aloud, this was really strange

"As far as I heard... Shino is no longer virgin", Naraku answered

"This much yelling is only for that?", Chouji asked, for he thought that said topic should be something private, how the others got wind of it?, he don't want to know

"What do you mean by 'only for that'?, what kind of psycho girl would want to do it with HIM?!", Ino asked really amazed that some girl could have the guts to be with the most weird guy of the village, as far as her brain allowed her to imagine, she believed that the Aburames married between members of their own family

"NYU-CHAN IS NOT A PSYCHO!!!", Shino yelled so powerfully, that some cowered in fear

"Troublesome...", Shikamaru muttered, while taking a look at al the other genins, some of them looked strong, others were weird, and of course, the overkill team was there, so, Konoha will have chunins after all

"Neji, we need to try some new moves after this, you know, to get better at it", Tenten said to the Hyuga prodigy, although she wasn't exactly talking about shinobi training

"Of course, and I think that I know the perfect place, so our training would not be disturbed", Neji replied, making Tenten smile

"You are going to grow even more weaker by spending too much time with a commoner, but that's your trouble, not mine", Sasuke interrupted, making the two love birds boil in rage

"Hey, Konoha fellows, come here!", The glass wearing boy called, gaining the attention of the Konoha genins

"And who are you?", Sakura asked, unimpressed by the apparent handsomeness of the boy

"My name is Kabuto, and this is not the first time I take this exam, but that's unimportant, come here, you'll need all the info you can get about the genins of the other villages", Kabuto explained, and the Konoha genins listened intently to the info gathered, Meanwhile, two of the most terrifying persons alive met each other

"So, it is you...", Naruto said to the gourd carrying boy

"I finally meet you...", Gaara replied, both of them looked at each other, Naruto's expression was one of full seriousness, his eyes looked like soul piercing blades under the shadow of his wide brim hat, while Gaara's eyes were so cold, that hell would have froze, his siblings, a girl with blond hair tied in four pony tails and carrying a big fan, and the boy with the make up in the face, were curled in a ball, trembling on true fear, until...

"I'M SO HAPPY TO FINALLY MEET YOU, BROTHER!!!", both Naruto and Gaara shouted, and then shared a brotherly hug, Kankuro and Temari fainted on the spot, unable to take in the scene, and just then, something else happened, the mummified boy attacked Kabuto, who was now on kneeling down, as if unable to stand

"You'll think it twice before calling our village 'small', you softy konoha...", The boy couldn't finish, for the gates opened again, revealing Lee and Reiko

"Sorry for being Late!", Both shouted, earning the attention of the entire hall, and everyone noticed how messed their clothes and hair were

"What?", both asked, and just then, a black clad jounin appeared in a Shunshin

"Very well, worms, stop your nonsense and get ready for hell!", Ibiki Morino, leader of the interrogation team, and second in the line for the title of Psycho of the year, just behind Anko, appeared, signaling the beginning of the exam

Meanwhile, at a room on the building...

"This is so comfy!", Stein randomly said, while stretching on a sofa, drinking lemonade, soon other jounins joined him

"From which village are you?, I don't recognize your hitai-ate", Asuma asked, as friendly as possible, as far as his father told him, he must not anger him or his genins

"I, and my kids, are not from a village, but from a special school", Stein replied, toying with the information he was allowed to tell

"A school?, what kind of school?", Kakashi asked, announcing his presence

"A specialized one", Stein replied cryptically, his scars were quite scary on the eyes of the konoha nins

"Specialized on what?", Yamato asked, appearing out of nowhere

"On hunting demons", Stein said with a creepy smile, and the room went silent, the jounins couldn't help but to think that those genins alone may be as strong as a high chinin, by normal standards

"Oh well, Ibiki will make most of the genins leave, I hope your kids can put a decent fight at the end", Anko playfully said, whil toying with her chains, and while the the jounins felt impending doom for their teams, Stein only snickered, while giving some turns to his big screw on his head, sending shivers thru the spines of the Konoha jounins... and the ANBU watching

15 minutes later...

The genins soon discovered that hell was actually a written test... they were sure that hell couldn't be so cruel... the questions were actually hard enough to break a jounin, the menace about being banned for getting caught cheating was heavy, and the line of chunins and jounins constantly writing was very unnerving, and to make it worst, the time limit was ridiculous... by now, one quarter of the foreigners were already banned, and the rest were sweating bullets, with the exception of the always cute Hinata Hyuga...

"I'm tired of this, I guess I wasted enough time... TIME OUT!", Hinata muttered, and then stood up, holding her test in one hand, and her pencil in another, and then, started to roam around the other genins... who were as if frost in place, along with the genins and jounins...

"Ok, now let's see who has the answers!", Hinata said in a cheerful tone, this was her favorite spell, or a combination of spells, by casting a high level slow and stop on the field surrounding her, and haste on her, she gave to herself all the time of the world, whenever she required, just like now

While Hinata roamed around, she noticed how the other genins were cheating, some using their blood limits, Like Neji and Sasuke, copying the exams of others, Tenten was very inventive, using mirrors on the ceiling, Hinata also noticed others making use of their partners, like Shino, who had an insect on his index finger, as if reporting something, probably the answers of the exam, while Kiba was using Akamaru to spy on other people, Ino was making some handseal in the direction of Sakura Haruno, nothing important, then she looked at Naruto, who was grinning, his test had a small legend that said: 'I love you dear, don't lose your time looking for the answers, the guy in the corner has the entire set of answers', Hinata giggled and kissed his cheek, after gathering the answers, she answered Naruto's exam, and then went to answer Lee's exam... in which he was drawing a very childish sketch of an axe wielding man butchering a horned man, or demon, on the back row, Kabuto was eyeing him, while sweating, at the moment, Hinata wasn't able to understand why was that... after a moment, Hinata went to her seat, and allowed the time to follow as usual

"Good, as you may have noticed, the exam had only nine questions, the tenth question will come now, but before that, I'll have to give you a warning, if any of you fails on this last question, you and your team will fail the entire exam... and you won't be allowed to take the exam again, you will never be chunin", Ibiki announced, making the entire population to go in shock

"WWHHAAAATTTT!!!!", it sounded thru the entire village, much to the delight of Ibiki

"Calm down!, you can quit now, and try the next year, with no problem or restriction, so, go on, rise your hand if you feel insecure about this, and quit, and you and your team will be able to take the exam next year", Ibiki proposed, and a few genins started to rise their hands... until Naruto bursted out in laughter, an evil laughter

"THAT'S THE MOST AMUSING THREATENING I'VE EVER HEARD!!! ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO MAKE US QUIT?!, WITH ONLY THAT?!, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!", Naruto voiced hard, everyone looked at him with mixed feelings

"Why is it funny?!", Ibiki asked, apparently furious

"Why?, WHY?!, BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE CHUNINS!!!, if we can't keep forward against the odds, then we can't be allowed to be chunins!, it's like going into a mission, without the guarantee of coming back, WE ARE SHINOBIES!, WE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO PLAY SAFE!!!", Naruto replied, showing no respect for the seriousness of the exam

"Are you finish?", Ibiki asked

"Yes, you can continue threatening us with our idiocy", Naruto said, while putting his feet over the table

"Good, so, anyone else want to hear to reason, and quit while you can?", ibiki asked, but no one else raised their hands, for what Naruto said armed them with courage, some due to their egos, for they didn't want to look like cowards at the side of the blond, others because what he said made sense... to a degree, but in the end, a lot of genins remained in their seats

"So... no one else... eh?... fine! CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ALL PASS THIS PART OF THE EXAM!!!", Ibiki announced, with a boisterous laugh, making most of the genins face fault

"This is... not logic...", Sakura stated, one of the words she learned from Doc

"On the contrary, it is, just as the disrespectful blond explained, as chunin, you can't expect to run secure missions, in fact, all your missions will have a high chance of killing you, but you must be able to take on the risk, and fulfill the mission at all costs, that's what means to be a chinin, there is no room for cowards an soft of heart kids!", Ibiki explained, just to be interrupted by a bright flash of light, and a gate appearing just behind him, from where two blond guys came from

"NOW, ON THE SECOND PART OF THE EXAM...", Ed shouted, earning the stares of the chunins and jounins

"You are 10 minutes early... Edward-sama...", Ibiki stated, with an eye twitch on his face

"I've told you, brother", Al whispered to Ed, who waved his hand dismissively

"ANYWAY!, ahem!, you all are going to present yourselves on the sector 44 tomorrow morning, this place is also known as the Forest of The Death, anyone who wish to quit can refuse to go there... that reminds me, why are so many of you here?", Ed said, looking at the group of genins, making Ibiki to sweat drop

"Are we going to be allowed to kill there?", a mist nin asked with a hopeful look on his face

"If you survive long enough...", both Ed and Al answered with straight faces, making the entire group to feel a cold shiver through their spines...

Magnus: there, I hope you liked it, and I hope someone got the hint of what Kabuto was talking about, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!, AHEM!, see ya in next chapter!
