R&R peeps!
The Chunin Exams START!
I watched as Genins arrived from all over the place. The gate was milling with genins from other lands, Daimyos and important shinobi leaders.
I came down from the tree and entered the teacher's office were all the other chunin examiners were waiting. It was only an hour before three and we were gathered for a last talk.
"now don't talk, smile or do anything stupid" Ibiki warned.
"Osu!" we all saluted. Today we all had to wear the grey suits to be uniform instead of our normal in-service wear.
As the short meeting ended we were all instructed to meet back here at three to start the first Exam.
"We're going to have some fun and check out the other genin, want to come?" Kotetsu asked.
"Sure but I'll warn you, there are some pretty good Genin out there" I said.
"Sure kid Sure" Izumo said as we arrived on the second floor.
"Henge time" they said, I knew what they were going to do so I transformed as well.
The tree of us waited as the other genin slowly entered thinking this really was the third floor.
"you have to let us though!" a genin protested.
"yea right dweeb" I sneered "you aren't going to pass so why come?"
"Harsh" Kotetsu whispered.
"I'm kind of pissed so this is my vent" I whispered back.
Then Lee's team entered and Lee tried to pass us when Izumo punched him not too lightly.
"Heh! You think you can take the chunin exam with that? Quit now!" Kotetsu said.
"yeah yeah" Izumo agreed.
"you're just a kid" I said not too kindly.
This time Tenten walked up "Please let us though!" she begged.
Kotetsu punched her and she fell.
"Horrible" a Genin gasped.
"What did you say?" Kotetsu asked looking into the crowd.
"listen this is our kindness the chunin exam isn't easy. We failed three times, yet kids like you think you can pass?" Izumo said.
"those that take this exam and quit being a shinobi, those that die in this exam, we've seen it all" I growled.
"And chunins often become Captains of Military teams. The failure of a mission, the death of a comrade….that is all the captain's responsibility." Kotetsu added.
"I agree but…" Someone said in the crowd.
"We're just thinning out those that will fail anyways. What is wrong with that?" Kotetsu asked into the crowd.
"You will let me pass though, and also; remove this surrounding created with Genjutsu. I'm going to the third floor" Sasuke said apprearing with Sakura and Naruto.
"What is he talking about?" a Genin asked.
"I don't know" another answered.
"Oh so you noticed?" Izumo asked.
"Since he did let's just drop it" I shrugged.
"Sakura, you must have noticed first. Right?" Sasuke looked at Sakura.
"Wha?" Sakura asked.
"Your analytical ability and Genjutsu know-how is the most improved on our team" Sasuke told her with a slight smirk.
"I noticed a while ago, cause we're still on the second floor" Sakura smiled gaining some confidence.
"Yep" Naruto agreed. I didn't know if he really understood or not.
Izumo dropped the genjutsu and Kotetsu moved.
"Not bad but all you did was SEE THOUGH IT!" Kotetsu moved in for a kick and Sasuke went in to counter; when Lee stopped them both.
I helped Kotetsu up and he looked a bit pissed.
"Serves you right" I said "Picking on my team" I smiled wickedly.
I knew what was going to happen, Lee was going to confess his love to Sakura…great. I really didn't pay attention to what was happening as I looked in the crowd for Kabuto.
"Let's go" Izumo and Kotetsu told me and we all disappeared behind large doors.
"so those are Kakashi and Gai's prized pupils. I guess they pass the unofficial test" Izumo said watching the genins leave.
"Yeah" Kotetsu said and we all transformed back.
"the Exam is going to be fun…" Kotetsu declared.
"For us examiners too" Izumo added.
"Didn't I say so. We have some amazing Genins this year." I said facing the two.
"Yeah you were right this time kid" Kotetsu shrugged.
"Fine I bet 50000yen that there will be um…..78 genins or 26 teams left after the first exam." I declared knowing I was right.
"and I say there will be less" Izumo smirked.
"and more for me" Kotetsu said.
"don't whine when I win. " I said turning anf running off.
"Strange kid" I heard Kotetsu said.
"Amusing" Izumo added.
"I heard that!" I yelled back over my shoulder.
"Having fun?" I heard a hiss.
"the Chunin Exam are not going to be fun, but do tell your Orochimaru-sama that Sasuke won't die" I said smiling.
"hmm and you're telling me this information cause?" Kabuto asked.
"It must happen, or else the balance in this world might be destroyed. Sasuke is an avenger; branded that way by his own brother. I know no matter what I say Orobastard will still give Sasuke the curse mark so tell him. Don't hold back" I said to Kabuto whose presence disappeared.
I grit my teeth. Even though I had tried to sound confident and to say the Oro could do what he wanted I didn't believe myself. I knew what was going to happen but I didn't trust it.
I checked the clock to see that it was almost three so I started down towards the teacher's office.
"thought you were going to be late again" Izumo said as I entered the office.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world" I said trying not to be sarcastic. I was so pumped up but after my encounter with Kabuto I wasn't feeling so great.
"Time to go" Ibiki said and we all poofed into the exam room.
"Quiet down you worthless Bastards! What's this?" Ibiki roared into the full class.
"Sorry we were just too exited" the sound nin…what was his name?... Dosu said.
"Bah, here's a good opportunity to say this. There will be no fighting without the permission ot the examiner. Even if permission is granted. Killing your opponents will not be tolerated. Those Pigs that disobey my will fail immediately. DO. I. Make. Myself. Clear?" Ibiki asked looking at all the Genins gathered in the room.
"Eh? Saki-nee!" Naruto shouted waving like an idiot.
I smiled and waved back subtly.
"Heh, this exam is sounding easy" the other sound nin said.
we the Chunins chuckled at his attitude. This was far from easy.
"We will now start the first test in the chunin exam. Instead of your current seating arrangements you will pick one of these tabs and sit in the seat assigned to you. Then we will hand out the exams." Ibiki said showing the plastic tabs with numbers on them.
There was a long silence as everyone stared at the front registering what was happening.
"WHAT? A PAPER TEST?" Naruto said shocked. I chuckled, this was the worst possible test for Naruto but I knew he would pass cause i've seen this before.
After everyone was seated Ibiki started with the rules. I zoned him out as I picked up a clip board with numbers on them and a pencil. I sat down near the window and looked outside at the trees. It was a nice day, the sun was shining, and the breeze was blowing faintly.
There was a grumble and mumble of annoyance pass though the genins as Ibiki started.
I watched the Genins. My eyes picking up every small movement. I found Naruto beside Hinata. He looked so scared, I smirked; this was going to make him stronger.
I looked on my clip board and saw the numbers
I looked up and found my targets. One was Sasuke, another Hinata, one Ino and I had a handful of konoha and suna genins and one Ame.
It was only five min into the test and I saw a couple of people understanding what tis test was really about.
Ten minutes into the test and Kotetsu thew a kunai at a participent.
"WHA, what was that for?" the Konoha Genin asked angily.
"You messed up five times. You. FAIL" Kotetsu answered.
"NO...No way" the genin stood there shocked.
"the two on his team, get out of here right now" some chunin said.
I heard a scraping sound and two genins rose with annoyed looks on their faces. The three left passing Kotetsu.
I looked up and saw Hinata conversing with Naruto.
"you going to mark that down? It looks like a genin from you list is cheating" a chunin beside me asked looking at my sheet.
"You better look carefully at your own since I saw number 144 cheat twice in the past four minutes" I growled at him dangerously.
"Hmph" the chunin went back to his work as I marked down number 43, and 27.
"No. 102 stand up. You fail" a chunin from the other side of me said standing.
"Number 23 you fail." another said throwing out a genin.
"Number 43 and 27 you fail" I said standing up and watching as they stood with their teammates.
"Do you have proof that I cheated five times?" number 27 yelled he was from suna.
"how are you guys watching all of..." he started but I quipped out my kunai. But another chunin got to him first.
The was pushed against the far wall with a heavy slam.
"Listen among Chunins we are the Elite that were assembled to watch over this exam. We haven't missed anything you've done. You could say that his strength is out proof" bandage head said loudly.
The genins looked scared. They should be.
"Exsuse me! I have to go to the washroom!" Kankuro said raising his hand.
Idiot. I thought as Karasu chained him and took him out.
"that suna guy is an idiot. We don't allow washroom brakes" the chunin on my left whispered.
"yeah I know" I snorted "he'll be on a lucky break though" I said seeing another cheater.
"we will now start the 10th question" Ibiki declared."but first I have some additional rules"
At that time Kankuro came in with his doll.
"Nice timing, was your doll playing beneficial?" Ibiki asked. Kankuro tsked as he sat down.
"I'll now explain. These are the rules of desperation" Ibiki added a long dramatical silence. "First for this 10th question. You must decide whether you will take it or not."
"CHOOSE? What happens if we choose not to?" Temari yelled from her seat.
"If you choose not to, your points will be reduced to zero and you fail along with your two teammates." Ibiki answered.
"What does that mean?" a waterfall nin asked.
"Then of course we will decide to take the question" a konoha nin yelled.
"And now the other rule" Ibiki calmly said.
"if you choose to take it and answer incorrectly that person will lose the right to partake in the Chunin selection exams again" Ibiki said.
A murmur of quiet chatter filled the room as the genins looked around in surprise.
"Bull shit! What kind of rule is that? There are guys here who have taken the exam before!" Kiba accused loudly.
Ibiki started to laugh. "You guys were unlucky. This year is my rules" he said seriously. "I'm giving you genin a way out. Those who are not confident can choose not to take it and try next time."
"Now let's start the 10th question. Those who are not taking this question raise your hand as once your number is confirmed, leave." Ibiki said.
For a while there was silence and a hand was raised.
"I…I won't take it!" a konoha genin said beside Naurto.
"I'm sorry Gennai, Inoho" the man shook as he stood up slowly.
"No. 50 Fail!" I said looking at my sheet.
"No. 130, 111 also fail!" the chunin right of me called.
The three left quietly. Suddenly hands shot up and and teams began to leave.
I watched as Sakura started to put her hand up but Naruto shot his up first.
"Heh, your team isn't so great" a chunin close by said to me.
"Just you wait" I smirked.
"Don't underestimate me! I will not run!" Naruto said slamming his hand down onto the table and surprising many.
"Told ya" I said sticking out my tongue at them chunin who growled.
"I'll take it! Even if I;m a genin forever I'll will myself to becoming Hokage anyway, so I don't care! I am not afraid!" Naruto yelled catching everyone's attention if he already hasn't.
"I'll ask again. Your life is riding on this decision. This is your last chance to quit." Ibiki warned.
"I follow my unbending words. That is my nindo (Ninja way)" Naruto said with full confidence.
I could see Izumo and Kotetsu counting the numbers left with disappointed faces.
Ibiki scanned the Chunins for approval as every each one nodded.
"Good Decision. Now to everyone still remaining. I congratulate you on passing the first test!" Ibiki smiled as the genin exchaned curious glances at each other.
Ibiki then went on to explaining about the true reason for the test. I didn't pay any attention as I looked out the window again.
Ha~ what a nice day...is that? I thought as I saw a black ball coming at a fast speed.
Hehe, shit I;m not going to get hit by her! I thought as I scooted over a few centimeters to my right.
Luckly I was far from the window as Anko crashed thought the window spraying pieces of glass everywhere.
I wonder how much this will cost. I thought as I watched Anko yelling to the Genin.
The genins watched in shock as they heard Anko speak about cutting the numbers in half.
"Follow me!" Anko said leading the remaining 78 genin out the door.
"Saki-nee! I passed!" Naruto cheered.
Sakura was also in a very happy mood.
Sasuke, well I knew he was happy behind this dark calm eyes.
"Good job. If you live though this one I'll treat you to some ramen" I said patting Nauto on the head.
"what do you mean if we live" Sakura asked hesitantly.
"I'm joking! You'll all live though this. I guarantee it! Just psyching you out." I said walking along with them towards the practice area no. 44.
We arrived after about twenty to thirty min. the place was huge with large overgrown trees and plants.
"Hehe, have fun guys" I smirked. Team 7 looked into the forest in awe.
"Welcome to the stage for the second test. Practice area 44. Also known as "The forest of death"" Anko said with a hint of her sadistic nature seeping though.
"Like I said. I'll treat you all for ramen after this" I patted their team 7's backs lightly.
