Chapter 5: The exam begins!
"Come here" and he gave me a hug
That was Hinata's first thought as she woke up and opened her eyes to a warm light coming through her window that showed the small dust particles in the air as it slowly fell to the ground
"What goes up, must come down I guess" She said as she giggled
Hinata was in a rather good mood from what happened yesterday but at the same time she was kinda worried about the exams. She walked out of her door as she walked across the hall and stepped into the shower to get ready for the day. She stripped down and turned the water on, as the hot water began to run she slowly stepped in to fine it suitable to her liking. As the noise of the water running ran through the pipes Hiashi took notice and knew that Hinata was awake at this point. The water flowed as she began to wash her body, she then ran the soap over her body and wash it off feeling now clean and refreshed; she then finished the shower and stepped out. She was now exiting the room with her clothes on and a smile on her face
"Wow, you seem to be in a great mood... Is there something that you are not telling me?" Hiashi asked as he was eating the breakfast he prepared for the family
"Um what, no father" She said worried he would be angry if he figured it out
"Hinata, I am not stupid, I see that there was something that has happened that I did not see" He said as he looked at her
"So now, tell me what it was that I did not see and when did it happen?" He said standing up looking at her
Tears started to come to her eyes a little as she began to spoke
"Well, it wasn't anything really. I am just happy to be doing the exams today" She lied as she just made that up that very second
"I see, well eat then. You will need to your strength in order to begin the exam" He said directing her to the food
"Yes, thank you father"
As Hinata began to eat she was wondering what Naruto was doing
Naruto's morning-
"Alright, I am ready!" He yelled as he put his clothes on and walking into the kitchen
Naruto then reached into the cabinet but then pulled his hand away
"Why don't I go get ramen from the shop instead, today I will be celebrating for taking the exam" He said as he began to walk outside
"H-Hey N-Naruto" Hinata said as she was standing in front of him
"Oh hey Hinata, what are you up to?" He asked standing in front of her
"Nothing, I-I just wanted to see if what you were doing. And if um, well" She said pushing her fingers together, looking at the ground and blushing a little red
"What is it Hinata?" He asked curious to why she always did that
"Well, um I was wondering if I could come with you"
"Well of course you can, but why do you want to be with me all the time?" He asked now looking at her
"Um uh well that is just because I uh. Well I kinda like being with you" She said now blushing a lot
"Oh well, either way it doesn't matter why. I like being around you too, so lets get going" He said with a big smile on his face and walked towards her
As Naruto began to walk towards her he motioned her to follow him, then got there with laughter from some things they said
"Wow Hinata"Naruto said quietly
"W-What is it N-Naruto, did I say something wrong. I-Is there something in my hair?" She asked worried Naruto was upset with her
"No, nothing is wrong with you. Just come here" He said as he stepped closer
"Um, okay" She said curious to what he was doing
Naruto then leaned in close to her and began to whisper in her ear, he face was now really red and she began to feel a little faint
"You have a beautiful smile" He said in her ear so no one would hear it
"Th-Thanks N-Naruto" She said as she started to fall
"Hey, Hinata are you okay?" He said as he grabbed her hand held her close
"Hinata, wake up" He said as he gave her a little shake
"Huh, where am I?" She asked looking around to see Naruto holding her
"You passed out again Hinata" He said worried about her
"Oh, um I am sorry N-Naruto" She said as she began to get on her feet
"It is okay" He said with a big smile
They began to walk again and got to the shop and Naruto looked at the time
"We will need to hurry here since we need to be at the exams in about 45 minutes" He said as he sat down and ordered his food
"What would you like Hinata?" He asked looking at her
"Nothing N-Naruto, I ate already" She said with a small smile on her face
"Are you sure Hinata? I don't mind paying for you at all" He said still looking at her
"Yes I am sure N-Naruto, if I was to eat anymore... Well I guess I-I uh would pop hehe" She said in a playful but still shy voice
"Okay Hinata, but in my opinion I think you could eat more and be fine" He said in a playful manner as well
Naruto and Hinata began to leave as he touched her arm and said out loud
"Tag, you're it!" While running away
"Hey, th-that isn't fair N-Naruto. I wasn't ready" She said starting to chase him
Naruto came to a stop and Hinata stopped right beside him
"We should actually save our strength for the exams since we don't know what will happen when we get there" Naruto said looking at Hinata
"Yes, I-I agree"
"But first N-Naruto" She said stepping a little close and began to extend her arm
Naruto wasn't sure what she was going to do til' she said 3 words
"Tag you're it"
Naruto then ran forward a little and grabbed her arm and twisted her around a little as she fell into his chest now them both facing in the same direction. Naruto and Hinata were now just about 2 inches away from each other as they were looking in the same direction. Naruto leaned his head in towards her ear from behind and whispered
"Now that isn't fair, and I wasn't ready hahaha" He said as he let go of her hand and they began to separate
Hinata was surprised as all of this happened, but instead of feeling nervous. She just felt happy
They then walked to the exams and stood there as they saw their teammates
"Hey, where have you been? I thought you weren't going to show up!" Sakura yelled as she hit him in the head
"You were begging to make us all worry Naruto" Saskue said with his hands in his pockets and a blank face expression like usual
"Hinata, where have you been?" Kiba shouted as he saw Hinata with Naruto
"I-I was with N-Naruto and we were heading here. Sorry it took so long" She said as she tried to hide herself
"Well, we should get inside then" Sakura said as she turned to go inside
"Yes, goodbye Hinata and I hope it all goes well for you" He said as she began to enter
"Th-Thank you N-Naruto, and I hope you do good as well" She said as she no longer wanted to hide
She began to smile more as if Naruto could just instantly make her feel better just by simply talking to her. They were now all inside and waiting as they stood there in the large group of people/ The man then began to speak as he told what would be happening
"You will be going to take a exam at the third floor room 38 where the proctor will tell you the rules and hand out the test" He spoke and then resigned as they began to walk out
"What?! What kind of exam is this. I thought it was suppose to be about fighting" Naruto shouted as he began to leave with the rest
"Shut it Naruto!" Sakura yelled and she thumped him on the head again
Hinata was watching from on the other side of the crowed and slightly smiled at it, she didn't see it as funny that he was getting hurt. But she did find it funny that he never had the slightest clue on what things could do for him in a battle
"Um I can explain N-Naruto if you would like" Hinata said as she stood beside him
"What? Oh yeah sure" He said rubbing his head
"Well the thing is that uh, well it helps to know where to throw weapons to um hit things that you can't get from where you are standing" She explained as she had the usual light red under her nice lavender eyes and upon her smooth and pale cheeks
"Oh, I get it now. So the point of it is so you can do the angles and that stuff" He said with a big smile on his face
"Yes, that is correct N-Naruto" She said with a smile on how he finally got it
"Wow Hinata, you actually got something through his thick skull" Sakura said while laughing
"Hey, what does that mean?!" Naruto shouted becoming slightly angry
Hinata just stood and giggled at it thinking it was funny and kinda cute how he got like that
"Huh?" Naruto said as he turned to see hinata without her teammates
"Hey Hinata, where is you're team?" He asked pointing behind her and as he searched the empty room with his eyes
"Oh, they must have left. I-I will see you later, bye N-Naruto and good luck" She said before she ran off catching up to her team
"Well, we should get going" Naruto said as he began to walk
They then soon got there and entered after going through the 2nd floor that had a genjutsu that was resting their ability to see through it. Naruto sat down with a empty seat to his right as Sakura sat farther behind his and towards his left by 3 seats and Saskue at the top row all the way to the right. "Okay, the rules are simple. I give you this test and if you are caught cheating 5 times you and your team are then failed right away" He said handing the tests out to everyone.
Hinata then scanned the room looking for Naruto and then saw the open seat and sat down next to him
"H-Hey N-Naruto" She said while happy to be near him yet again
"Hey Hinata, I hope you do well. But I don't think I will be doing well on this" He said as he explained why
"Well, j-just try your best N-Naruto" She said while smiling at him
"Thanks Hinata"
The test was out and time passed by as Naruto went through the test many times and realized he couldn't do it. And Hinata took notice of his struggling and very quietly said to him
"Hey, you can look if you want N-Naruto" She said as she began to slide it to him
"Thanks... a lot, but now. I can't depend on others" He said as he politely declined her offer
"Okay, just please try your best N-Naruto" She said as she took her test back towards her
Time passed as Naruto still didn't have anything but his name on his paper. The proctor then said that there was the final question.
"This question is the most important, if you get this one right you will pass no matter what, but if you don't past it you will never be able to take the exam again in your life" He said as he asked who would leave
People began to raise their hands and leave as Naruto started to raise his hand but quickly slammed it down
"I will not give up so easy!" He shouted telling the proctor he will stay
"Okay, no one else?" He asked scanning the room for any hands
"No? well okay then" he said as he smiled
"You all passed!" He said as he congratulated everyone
"But how?" people asked
"It is rather simple, this test was made up for you to cheat in order to not fail. Making it so you had to give it your all to try to hide your cheating and then staying and not giving up so easily showed that you have what it takes to keep moving forward" He said as everyone was in shock
"YEPPIE!" Naruto shouted as he jumped up
"G-Good job N-Naruto" Hinata said with a smile starting to form on her face
A few minutes have passed and it was just Naruto, Sakura, Saskue, Hinata, Kiba and Shino
"Hey Hinata, we will be heading out. Catch ya later" Kiba said as him and Shino stepped out
"Naruto we should be going too" Sakura said walking out the room with Sasuke leaving just Hinata and Naruto in the room alone
"Thanks Hinata" Naruto said as he leaned in towards her
"Um for w-what N-Naruto?" She asked with Naruto just inches away from her and her face red
"You gave helped a lot, just thinking of you and what you said made me realize that I couldn't give up. And because of that, I have passed" He explained as he wrapped his arms around Hinata
"Y-You're welcome" She said as she hugged him back
Hinata didn't want to separate from him but knew she had to get going
"And thank you N-Naruto" She said in a slight whisper with her head resting upon his shoulder and head
"For what?" He asked
"For making my dreams come true more and more every day" She said now squeezing a little tighter
Naruto was taken by surprise a little but at the same time really confused
"But I didn't do anything" he said as they separated from the hug they were holding
"Yes you did hehe" She said before giving his a slight and quick hug and running off with red upon her face yet again
