"My name is Ibiki Morino, and I will be your first proctor. Come up to me and I will assign you all numbers." The man continued. "You will sit in the seats that correspond with these numbers."
Everyone got up and went to get their numbers. Naruko got hers and looked around for her seat. She found her seat in the last row in the middle section of the classroom. She sat in her seat, which happened to be the end seat, and kicked her feet up and crossed her arms. She leaned back and closed her eyes, waiting for the others to take their seats.
Some random girl with brown hair in two buns and a pink shirt sat next to her. She checked her headband. Leaf. Hey, hadn't she seen this girl earlier? She had been the one who was amazed by her mom right? Hm, interesting. More people knew her dad because of his crappy porn books. Good thing she looked up to the one who chose not to write porn.
She sighed. Why couldn't her dad stop writing that stuff? Well, at least her mom had stopped him from peeping on women. That way he was at least a bit more respectable. But then she smiled. Even though her dad had some quirks, you couldn't help but love him.
She noticed out of the corners of her eyes that the girl looked like she wanted to say something. At the front of the classroom though, Ibiki or whatever his name was started talking. He started explaining the rules of the test.
Naruko thought it was very suspicious that they had more chances to keep going on the test even if they were caught cheating. But she shrugged, might as well do well anyways. When he said start, Naruko flipped over her test and looked at it.
She narrowed her eyes. These were not questions average genin could answer. Due to the fact that she had inherited her mother and father's incredible intelligence and her mom had always made sure she had schooling even if she didn't like it much, she would be able to answer the questions. It helped that she had been in some of the situations due to the fact that she and Shion were hunted because of their abilities and heritage. But the genin here never had that experience, or the constant and strict schooling that her mom, dad, sister, aunt, and uncle that she and Shion had received. There was no way that they could answer these questions!
Naruko looked up at the proctor. He certainly looked intimidating, though she knew that that was a part of the test as well. They had set up mini tests inside of the bigger tests, to see if you would fall into the traps. A skilled ninja would have to work his or her way around these traps. It was almost like a mission. You had one big mission, to pass the exam, but a lot of smaller tests in the way to see if you are capable, such as fights or traps in real missions.
She looked back at her tests and filled out all of the answers in about 45 minutes. They were extremely hard to answer and she had already seen some kids get caught for cheating and others having breakdowns because they couldn't answer. She looked up to Naruto.
Naruko could see him shaking, he obviously didn't have the answers. She smiled as she had a stroke of genius. She focused extremely hard of Naruto's portion of the wooden desk.
She formed hand seals underneath her table and started using her Mokuton to carve the answers into the desk. She saw that Naruto had seen them and started writing them down, knowing they were from her. She wrote down all of the answers in the wood and then undid her jutsu.
When Naruko looked up, she saw Sakura a few rows ahead of her. Oh this was perfect! She made a few more hand seals under the table. Once she was done, she focused her chakra and used her high water affinity to take the moisture from the air and drench Sakura.
Sakura gasped and shook the water off of her hands. Then she growled and looked back, searching for something. Her eyes locked on Naruko and she growled again.
Naruko just smirked and eyed her up and down. Poor little girl didn't want to get wet huh? Too bad for her, she would just have to deal. Normal ninjas wouldn't think twice about getting soaked if it meant completing the mission. She was just preparing Sakura for that life.
Ibiki then stated that the exam time had finished. He went on to explain the tenth question, saying that if they didn't get it right, they would be genin forever, and if they wanted, they could drop out.
Naruko flat out knew that there was something wrong with this test for sure now. This man, whoever he was, had no authority to do that whatsoever. Maybe he could somehow convince the Hokage, but no way in hell would he be able to get the other villages to agree. What village would send promising genin to take the test to become Chunin if there was a chance they would be stuck in genin? So, this man was blatantly lying, but why? What could he gain from it?
That's when Naruko saw a hand raise. A boy said he wanted to leave, then yelled an apology to his teammates. Naruko then saw a bunch more people get up and leave. It then came to her suddenly, that was it! The proctor was trying to get people to drop out so there were less contestants! He was attacking the mental side of ninja rather than the physical side!
She smiled and leaned back in her chair. She knew her team would be fine. Her and Shion would figure it out, and Naruto was way to stubborn and confident to give up.
Naruko looked to the girl with buns that sat next to her. She saw that she looked pretty confident as well, most likely she wasn't worrying about her team either. Good to know that there were some other strong genin in Konoha as well.
Naruko then saw a hand raise at the front of the classroom. It was one she knew all to well. With the arm covered in outrageous orange jumpsuit that she had gotten to love in the past few months, she couldn't believe her eyes. Her eyes widened to the size of saucers and she stood up abruptly. She was about to yell at Naruto, ask him what the hell he was thinking. Ask him why he was giving up when they had such a good chance.
But then Naruto stood up and slammed his hand down on the desk.
"I'm not ever gonna give up! No one here will, we are all strong, so just accept that and stop asking everyone to give up! We aren't scared of this exam! So bring it on! Whatever it is, I'll pass it, BELIEVE IT!" Naruto yelled.
"Alright Naruto!" Shion yelled, standing up as well and putting one fist in the air.
Everyone else in the room nodded in agreement. Naruko fell back in her seat, let out a sigh and shook her head.
'Hmmmm... this kid inspired everyone with just a few sentences, looks like no one else is giving up. 75, not a bad number. Not at all. This might turn out to be one great group.' Ibiki thought.
That's when the window shattered open, the pieces of class flying onto the floor. A woman with purple hair flew in and threw a kunai in two of the walls, stringing up a banner. The banner read '2nd Exam' and the woman stood up next to Ibiki and smiled a crazy smile.
"Alright Maggots! Time for exam number 2!" She yelled.
"Umm.. Anko, your a bit early. I still haven't finished my exam." Ibiki said.
The woman's sweat dropped. "You've got to be kidding me! I made my whole special grand entrance and now you tell me I'm too early! I'll start my exam whenever I damn want to!" Anko yelled, baring her teeth and her eyes going wide while she shook her fist in the air.
"Anko, these kids aren't done yet. They still don't even know if they can get to your exam." Ibiki said.
"What?! But they finished the test and you stopped calling kids out! So that means there done, it's not like there was a tenth question anyways!" She yelled.
"WHHHAAATTT?!" The whole class questioned loudly.
"Oops." Anko said. "Soooo... I'm... I'm just gonna go... uhhh... see ya later!" She said nervously, grabbing her banner and jumping back out the broken window.
Ibiki sighed. "That woman always messes things up. She should stick to the T & I department." HE muttered. He then sighed. "Now, the test has been ruined, and you won't be focusing as much, and you all want to know what the 2nd test is. What else could go wrong?" He asked.
"YOU IDIOT!" They heard bellowed from outside.
"No..." Naruko groaned and her face fell into her hands.
A badly beaten Jiraiya and Kakashi flew into the room through the other windows that used to be intact. They slammed into the walls on the far side of the room and fell into a pile on the floor.
An angry looking Shizune and Tsunade stormed into the room. They both had a look of extreme anger, and had their sleeves rolled up, obviously so they could punch Jiraiya and Kakashi.
They went across the room and picked up the guys, slamming them into the wall and holding them there. Tsunade was the first one to speak.
"You mean to tell me, that you two got Old Man Sensei to read your stupid porn, and he had such a horrible nose bleed, he died!" She yelled.
"We didn't mean to! We just thought he could use some good literature! I swear Hime, it was a complete and total accident!" Jiraiya said.
"Jiraiya's right, we never meant to! He was just wondering about them and we thought we could introduce him to the whole new world of wonder!" Kakashi defended.
"Shizune, what do you say we slowly skin them with a rusty, bent, old knife, then dip them into barrels of salt?" Tsunade asked.
"Sounds perfect my lady." Shizune said.
They then dragged their husband's/boyfriend's body out the window and down onto the streets.
Naruko just looked at Ibiki.
"I'm sorry... they're just... you know... yeah." She sighed.
Ibiki then explained the rest of their test to them. Why there was no tenth question and so on. He then told them they should meet Anko at training ground 44 for the next exam at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Naruko sighed as people got up and started to leave. 'Great, no I have to go home to two women practically murdering their partners. Well, to be fair, they did kill the Hokage. Maybe I should join!' She thought as she got a sadistic smile on her face. This actually was going to be a fun day at home.
