Hello guys! Here is the re-write chapter number 8!

Chapter 8 The First Exam! Written Test!

The next morning I, Kankuro and Temari were walking through Konoha. The three of us don't know where Gaara is. Temari and Kankuro didn't care about it. Even I don't care about it where he is… I held my cheek and Temari was looking with sad eyes to me, but I ignored that. I could still hear the sound when he slapped me.

" Asuka, everything alright?" I looked at Temari and nodded.

" He had hit you again?" Kankuro looked at me, and I nodded again.

" That idiot! Is there someone for him, threats he that person as trash!" Kankuro clenched his fist and was looking angry.

" Kankuro-san, don't worry. The good news is that I'm still alive." I smiled at him and they smiled back to me until we heard something and someone bumped into Kankuro. Who is he? I was standing behind Kankuro and was looking from behind is back.

" That hurt." Said Kankuro to him and we were still staring at him and the rest what was behind him. I also saw they were surprised to see us. Kankuro grabbed his collar and lifted him.

" Konohamaru!" Said a blonde boy.

" That hurt, brat!" Said Kankuro to him, and I sighed.

" Stop it Kankuro. We're going to get scolded later, you know." Said Temari at Kankuro. Oh man, I hope we don't get trouble later with this. We are the one who comes from another village. Please Kankuro use your head!

" Sorry, I was just joking around… Please…" I looked to the girl with pink hair. Joking around? I sighed again and crossed my arms. This will be troublesome.

" Who do you think you are! Let him go!" The blonde shout against Kankuro. But to see at the headband from him he is a leaf ninja.

" But I just want to play around before some noisy people come." He had still Konohamaru in the air, and I stood next to Temari. We both know that he must knock it off before he comes. And I don't want to see him actually.

" Let go of me!" The kid began to kick at Kankuro. Tsch, that wouldn't help you kid. The kid began to irritate Kankuro I know that he hate kids, but then the blonde boy began to scream and ran up to Kankuro. Kankuro moved with his fingers and let the blonde boy fell. I saw he was surprised by that, but I know what Kankuro did.

" You genin ninja's are very weak. And you call yourself a ninja?" Kankuro smirked. The blonde boy began to yell again at us but was stopped by that pink girl. Nani, what is wrong with her? I also get annoyed with this, I know that I will see him soon if this go on.

" We are not going to be responsible for what you do." Said Temari and I nodded to her.

" Yeah, you know he will be angry Kankuro." I stated to him and let out an annoyed sigh.

Then Kankuro was planning to hit the kid but was stopped by a rock who was threw by someone who was sitting in the three. Kankuro let the boy go, and we both looked at that direction. And there sat a boy who thinks he is everything. Tsch, I hate those boys try to act all cool and that. He pisses me of badly. But to hear the pink girl she was crazy about him. Ugh… Even Temari finds him cool. But I also saw that the blonde boy was not so happy with him. Then Kankuro grabbed his puppet on his back.

" Nani? You're are going to use Karasu?" Temari asked panicked and I just want to leave here, I could feel him…

" Kankuro-san! Don't make it worse, we are actually already in big trouble if you know what I mean idiot!" I looked irritated at him and looked also around. I know he is here.

" Kankuro, stop." And there he was. I looked up and saw him hanging in the tree, I also saw that those Konoha people were also surprised even the boy in the tree. " You're a disgrace to our village. " I saw that Temari and Kankuro were in fear, but I just looked the other way.

" G-Gaara…" That was the only thing what Kankuro could bring out. I sighed, but I could feel his eyes burning into me.

" Why do you think we came all the way here to Konoha?" He said angry to Kankuro.

" Listen, Gaara. These guys started it." He tried, but he failed.

" Shut up… I'll kill you." I sighed deep and was just looking around. Why beat my heart always so fast when I see him, even when I am angry at him. Kankuro apologized at Gaara and was saying that it was his fault, even Temari. I was just standing there looking to somewhere else.

" Excuse them, you guys." Gaara said and came down with us. " Let's go. We didn't come here to fool around." He said, and was looking directly at me. I gulped and looked at the other way.

" I know, Gaara…" Kankuro said and we followed him. But we were stopped by the pink lady, she know that we were not coming from here but from the sand village. Temari had explained everything to her, and about the Chunin Exams. They were all surprised about that. But we walked further, but then that guy came and wanted to know who Gaara was.

" You, with the gourd on the back what is your name?" The guy with the black hair asked him.

" I'm Sabaku No Gaara, and yours?" He looked at him and that guy back at him with a grin.

" Uchiha Sasuke." Sasuke… He looks strong but… I don't know… He has actually the same eyes as Gaara, but Gaara is cooler and hotter than him. And then we disappeared, we were already going where they held the first exam. It was already busy, but we don't mind. We were sitting somewhere, and I was looking around. I could feel that the others were looking at us, and to be honest I hate to being watched. For my own safety I went closer to Gaara, I saw he noticed but I looked the other way and blushed.

" Are you scared?" I was startled by his voice and looked at him and nodded.

" Sorry that I'm a coward to you… but I'm just a girl you know, I'm easily scared. And very easily by those guys. " I didn't dare to look at him and looked at the ground. He placed his hand under my chin, and let me look at him. I was blushing.

" No one is going to touch you… They will be dead if they touch you." He looked serious and angry at me.

" Gaara…" I nodded. Then we saw that those three, wait four. Four? I looked at them and saw the girl who I had met on the first day we were in Konoha. So she is with them, poor girl… Gaara was also looking were I was looking at and looked then the other way, they were very noisy. And then some other people were coming to them.

" What annoying people…" I looked at Gaara and smiled at him.

" Yes, they are." Gaara growled and was leaning against me. I was still smiling and looked around. Then I saw some people from the sound were attacking them. But then someone came out of nothing with a few other people behind him. All the people in the room were looking at him.

" Sorry to keep you waiting. I am the examiner of the 1st test of the Chuunin Selection Exam, Morino Ibiki." We all looked at him. So it begins now. No turning back anymore.

He pointed to the three ninja from the sound. " You three from the Hidden Village of Sound, don't think you can do anything you want before the exam. Do you want us to fail you already?"

" I'm sorry. I was excited, since this is my first exam." One of the sound ninja said to the big guy.

" This is a good chance to say this… You are not allowed to fight each other during the exam unless given permission by the examiners. Even if the permission is given, You are not allowed to kill the other. Pigs who go against me will fail immediately. Understood?" We all looked at those guys by the black board.

" This exam seems to be soft and easy." Said the other one of the sound. Baka what are you thinking? This is not easy, idiot.

" We will now begin the first exam of the Chuunin Selection Exam. Turn in your applications, take one of these number tags, and sit where the number tells you to. Then we will pass out the papers for the written exam." Written exam? Oh great… I hate written exams… Sometimes they make no sense, then I heard someone yelling about the written exam. It was the blonde guy again. I sighed. We turned in our applications and we all got a number I was looking were Kankuro, Temari and Gaara were sitting. They were all separated, I sighed and saw Gaara then. I smiled to him, and he gave me small smirk. Then I looked at the number what I had and was searching for my place, Yes it was in front of Gaara. Then I saw a girl was sitting next to me.

" Michi?" She looked aside of her and she smiled.

" Hello Asuka. So you were also taking the Chuunin Exams here." I blushed and nodded.

" Sorry, that I couldn't tell you." She shook her head.

" I don't mind Asuka. I hope we come far in this exam." I nodded to her and sensed that Gaara was curious about the bond I had with her. I just gave him a smile and turned around to looking forward. In front of us laid the written test. I sighed come on Asuka you can do this.

Then Ibiki began. " This first Exam has a few important rules. I will not accept any questions, so listen carefully…" Okay, I understand that there are rules but not asking questions? " First rule is you all are given 10 points at the start. The written exam consists of 10 questions, and each is worth one point. This test is deduction based test. If you get one problem wrong, You will get one point deducted. If you get three problems wrong, your points will be reduced to 7." Okay, so it is based on points we must have.

" Second rule, The pass-fail decision will be determined by your team's total points." Nani?! So if someone of us failed the test? Then we…? Then I heard the pink girl screaming.

" There is a reason for this. Just shut up and listen." Ibiki said to her.

" Now that you know, let's move on to the next rule. If an examiner determines that you cheated or do something similar during the test… Each action will cause you to lose two points." What?! This will be harder than I thought.

" In other words, there will be people who will be forced to leave this place without their tests being graded." So we could also fail if we are caught with cheating. But I think you must cheat with this test, we are ninja's. So it would be useless to give us only a test.

" Those who try to cheat without thinking carefully will only hurt themselves… You are all trying to become Chuunins. If you are a ninja, act like a first rate one… Also, if anyone in a team gets a zero, everyone on that team will fail." Nani?! So if I have zero points then I let fail also the others. Then I heard them again, I think they have someone in the team who is not good with a written test… Poor guys… Hahahaha!

" The last problem will be given 45 minutes after the exam begins. You have one hour for the exam. " I was looking at the clock and saw that it was half past three.

" Begin!" We all turned our paper and was staring with it. Nani?! How must I do this? Okay Asuka, first looking at the questions. Nani, there is now way I know this questions. I sighed, so there must be cheating without get caught. But wait, what if no one knows the answers of the questions? I was looking forward to some people, I was also looking to the examiners. There must be something!

" Asuka, do you know that you also posses another ability?"

" What kind of ability grandma?" I was looking confused at her.

" It is actually a secret ability what you mother had. And I think that you also have it." My grandmother smiled at me.

" What than grandmother?" I was getting impatient, because I want to know what it was.

" It is also the same as the Byakugan, but also different. And you have already reddish eyes." I looked at her with a raised eyebrow and she sighed.

" It is a jutsu what can see through things. Like walls and even people. It could only do that. But the Byakugan, can also see the chakra of the person. And yours can only see through things, also you can cheat with that. Hahaha" She laughed, and I tried to understand.

" But when do I have it? How can I get it?" I asked to her.

" With good concentrating, you will have it someday."

Oh yeah, that! I concentrated on my chakra and tried to get those eyes. I opened my eyes and were glowing red. I can feel it. I looked at some people and could watch through them and saw their tests. I smirked and was looking for the best one. Ah, yes he is good. I wrote it down on my test and was smiling. You could hear the pencils writing down on the papers.

I also heard Gaara's sand behind me, so he has also began. I smiled and wrote further. Then I saw a kunai flying through the room.

" What is the meaning of this?" Said one of the ninja's

" You screwed up five times. You fail." Said one of the examiners. " Teammates of his, get out of here!"

" Number 23 fail. Number 43 and 27, fail." Oh man, they are really brutal when it comes they have found out that some people have cheated. Then someone was smashed against the wall. I was startled and felt than Gaara's sand by my leg, and relaxed a bit.

" Number 59 fail, number 33 and 9, fail." Another team had failed.

" Number 41 fail, number 35 and 62 fail." Another one…

" Sorry, But I need to go to the bathroom." I looked up a bit and saw that it was Kankuro. To the bathroom? Nani, what are you doing baka? An examiner went to Kankuro and cuffed his hands and walked with him to the bathroom.

" Okay, I will now give the 10th problem." Oh god, the 10th question. But wait… Where is Kankuro?! That idiot!

" Yes, but before that, there's one thing I must say…There will be one special rule for this last question. " Then the door opened and there was that idiot.

" You're lucky. Your puppet show didn't have to go to a waste." Baka, he had seen it through that.

" Oh well, sit down..." Kankuro walked to his place and Ibiki began to talk further. " I will now explain. This is… A hopeless rule. " A hopeless rule? Nani?!

" First, you are all going to choose if you wish to take this tenth problem or not." To choose? Why to choose?!

" Choose? So what happens if we don't take the tenth problem?" I heard Temari and was looking at her and then back to Ibiki.

" If you choose not to take it, your point will be reduced to zero." Nani?! This is hopeless. I let my head fall on the table. " In other words you fail." Hopeless… " You two other teammates, some teams are with four so their three other teammates will fail along with you." Oh that's bad. I know for sure that those three will take this tenth problem. So I must also choose to take it… But… What if he is very difficult? But I don't want to fail to them. Aaarrghh! This is frustrating!

" And here is the other rule. If you choose to take it and you get it wrong, you will… Lose the privilege to take the Chuunin Exam forever!"

" What kind of dumb rule is that?! There should be those here who have taken the Chuunin Exam in the past!" I was looking to the boy with a dog on his head. " Then the big guy began to laugh. What the hell is wrong with this whole written exam?

" You were unlucky. This year, I am the rule." I gulped and was looking to Kankuro, Temari and even Gaara. And also to Michi, and then to the big guy again.

" That is why I gave you the option of quitting. Those who are not confident can choose to not take it, and take the exam next year, or the year after that. "

I sighed and was thinking about it. Should I take it or not? I hate this!

" Then, let's begin. Those who will not be taking this tenth question, raise your hands. After we conform your numbers, we will have you leave. " I took a deep breath and let it out, I'm not going back. I will also take this tenth question! I will not fail my team!

Some people began to lift their hands, and left the room. And so did a lot of other people too. Wow… That's a lot. I sighed… Will I be good enough for this? Then the blonde raise his hand. Nani?! Why is he doing that?!

Then he slapped his hand on the desk. I was startled when I heard the sound.

" Screw you! I'm not going to run away! I will take this problem! Even if I become a Genin forever, I'm going to become a Hokage no matter what anyway! I'm not scared!" Unbelievable!

" I will ask one more time. This is the choice that will impact your life. If you want to quit, now is the chance. "

" I'm not going to take back my words. That's my 'Way of the Ninja'. " Nani? How?

" Nice determination. Then… for the First Exam, everyone here…Passes!" Yeah! We pass!

" Wait, what's the meaning of that? We pass already? What about the tenth question?" Said the pink girl.

" Yeah, what about that?!" I said, wow I had said something. Hahaha.

" There was no such thing to begin with. Or you can call the two-choice question the tenth question." He said with a smile on his face.

" Hey! So what were those previous nine problems?! Is was all a waste!" I looked at Temari, who was a bit angry.

" No it's not. The nine problems accomplished their purpose. The purpose to test each individual's information gathering skills."

" Information gathering skills?" Asked Temari, I knew there was something with this test.

Then Ibiki explained what the really purpose was with this written test, it was to look who can get information without to being caught. Thanks to my new ability that I could cheat without getting caught. Hahaha. After he was done with explaining.

" The first Exam of the Chuunin Selection ends now. I wish you all luck." Woehoe, the first one is over, now the second one! But then, something came through the window and there was a woman with a giant blanket with something on it.

" Everybody, there's no time to be happy." Nani?! What is going on here?

" I am the Second Examiner, Mitarashi Anko. Let's go to the next exam! Follow me!" She said. Then it was silent. Nani? Another one who is very annoying. Ugh… But whatever… We are going to the second exam!
