A.N.: I do not own Naruto. Leave a review if you like the story, Dattebane! :D
The proctor, Morino Ibiki apologised himself for keeping the genin waiting.
"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?"
The sound ninja apologised, and Ibiki continued with his explanations on the rules for the first exam. Nana was listening closely to what he was saying, as did everybody else. After he told them to turn in their applications the genins formed a line through the classroom, waiting for their turn. A box was placed besides Ibiki on the table with random numbers tags on a piece of plastic, and the genins had to take one out of it.
It was good fifteen minutes when Nana finally had her turn, she turned in her application and took a piece of plastic out of the box. Looking down at the number she walked a few rows behind Naruto, sitting down on her assigned seat. She was feeling a bit nervous of what the written exam would entail, and if she would be able to solve it, she was confident in her knowledge since she read a lot, but how much will that actually help her now? Looking before her she could see her brother fidgeting around in nervousness, after all he was never good at written exams, as he was more of a see and do person.
After a minute or two she could feel a presence besides her so strong, it made her turn around and check who it was. Her eyes narrowed a bit as she looked in to the cold green-blue eyes of her dango murderer. She watched him as he took his seat next to hers, rolling her pencil between her index fingers.
"You owe me a new dango" She told him putting the pencil down with her palm open over it, starring right in to his eyes.
She noticed his eyes narrowing at her, trying to intimidate her but she only leaned in closer as she stared at him and repeated her sentence.
"Shut up. I'll kill you." Was the only response she got from the red haired boy, still holding his gaze.
"I won't die. Not before you get me my dango you can bet on that, dattebane." She said smiling gently at him as she leaned her head on her palm looking at him.
She stopped looking at him for a minute as she looked around the classroom for her teammates. Nobuo sat on the other side of the room a few rows behind her, while Hibachi sat a row behind Naruto. They didn't look nervous at all, being overconfident as they were in themselves, like always. Nana let out a sigh wondering when their big heads will combust from self-confidence, especially Hibachi's.
"This first exam has a few important rules. I will not accept any questions, so listen carefully. First rule is you all are given 10 points at the start. The test is deduction based test. If you get one problem wrong, you will get one point deducted. If you have three problems wrong, your points will be reduced to seven. Second rule, the pass-fail decision will be determined by your team's total points…" Ibiki started to explain and Nana's gears started shifting. She was thinking on the ways to cheat while Ibiki explained that obvious cheating will lose you two points, for every time the examiners catch you.
Before they started Nana turned back to Gaara smiling at him and wishing him good luck with the test. Of course as expected she got no answer in return, but she saw his fist clench at his side. Shrugging it aside she flipped over her test sheet and picked up the pencil.
Reading the whole questions through she was able to solve some of them that she was 100% sure were right. Nana was grabbing a fist full of her hair after some minutes in to the test, she was getting frustrated as the questions just got harder and harder. Thinking for a bit she looked to her right where she saw Gaara with an extended arm over his piece of paper and the other hands finger on his closed eye.
'Must have started cheating. Would love to have a ninjutsu that could help me right now' Nana thought to herself as she looked up at the ceiling above her.
'How convenient' she thought to herself as she saw the mirriors above her head move just enough for her to see the reflection of an already solved test pole. Memorizing all of the 7 answers she needed she looked back down to her sheet and wrote them down fast, before she could forget or mix them together.
A few minutes passed in silence as everyone concentrated on cheating without being caught. So far they didn't catch anyone yet. Were they even trying? Not soon after her thought, a kunai landed and lodged itself in a guy's paper two rows before her next to Hibachi.
"What's the meaning of this?" The genin asked enraged as he stood up.
"You screwed up five times. You fail. Teammates of his, get out of here! Right now." The examiner said pointing his finger at the guy complaining.
Nana watched the first team of the day leave the room disappointed. After that more and more teams started failing. Proctors kept calling the numbers like there was no tomorrow. With every genin more being called out for cheating more and more genin became enraged demanding proof, some of the genin had to be dragged out while yelling. Sixteen teams already failed, that made 48 genins. Nana cracked a small smile when she saw the sand shinobi Kankuro asking for a toile break.
'Perfect timing' She thought to herself as she went back to observe Hibachi, he seemed to be doing fine.
"Okay. I will now give the tenth problem!" Ibiki announced 45 minutes in to the test.
'Tenth problem?' Nana wondered, her eyes growing wide 'these questions were hard enough, what more would they want to know?'
"Yes, but before that, there's one thing I must say… There will be one special rule for this last question." Nana leaned forward on her elbows interested in what Ibiki will say next as Kankuro opened the door and stepped back into the classroom with the proctor, his arms now strangled unchained.
"You're lucky. Your puppet show didn't go to waste." Ibiki said smirking at him bat slowly added "Oh well, sit down."
"I will now explain. This is a hopeless rule. First you are all going to choose if you wish to take this tenth problem or not." He said and people already complained with questions of what will happen.
Truthfully Nana was interested in that answer. What will happen if they get it wrong?
"If you choose not to take it, your points will be reduced to zero. In other words,… you fail. Your two teammates will fail along with you. And here is the other rule. If you choose to take it and get it wrong, you will… Loose the privilege to take the Chunin Exam forever. " He explained after the rude interruptions.
'Loosing privilege to take the chuunin exams?' As she thought that some students already protest what kind of a stupid rule that is, but to no avail. Ibiki kept playing his mind torcher games with the poor genins.
Even more team surrendered as the cracked under the pressure of being a genin forever. Nana's eyes widened as she saw Naruto lift his head up and not soon after Hibikis hand shot up to.
"Screw you! I'm not going to run away!I'll take this problem! Even if I become genin forever, I'm going to become a Hokage no matter what anyway! I'm not scared!" Naruto's hand slammed down full force on the table as he stood up while yelling. Nana watched him sit back down with his arms crossed over his chest and face covered in determination.
She watched Hibachis arm dropping after Naruto's speech and smiled at him even though he couldn't see her at the moment.
"Nice determination. Well then….For the first Exam, everyone here….Passed" Ibiki said finishing it with a smile.
'Passed? That's it? No tricky question asked? No problem to be solved?' Nana wondered to herself as she let out a sigh in relief putting her hand over her beating heart to relax herself.
Ibiki explained the purpose of the test and it's questions briefly and started untying his bandana. Talking about a mission's success and how this test checked everyone if they would be able to pull it off, he finally took the bandana off and Nana wished he didn't. Across his head were burn marks, screw holes, and cut marks, a clear sign of torture. He put his bandana back up as he continued explaining.
"You have broken through the entrance. The first Exam of the Chunin Selection ends now. I wish you luck.
Nana's head snapped up from looking at Gaara to the broken window in the classroom. Two kunai knives were thrown onto the ceiling, tied together with a dark brown cloth, which covered Ibiki from everyone else. Nana red the encryption on the banner like thing: Second Examiner, Mitarashi Anko is here.
'Mitarashi….Dango?' Nana thought to herself her mind wandering off to dumplings cowered with a sweet soy sauce glaze.
"Everybody, there's no time to be happy. I am the second examiner, Mitarashi Anko. Ler's go to the next exam!" Nana snapped out of her daydream and looked at the examiner, she kind of reminded her of Naruto, so energetic.
"Follow me!" She yelled pumping her hair high up in excitement.
"Grasp the atmosphere." A grimm looking Ibiki told her as he stepped from behind the banner, and everyone could see Anko blushing in embarrassment.
"84? Ibiki, you let 28 teams pass? The first exam must have been too soft." She scolded Ibiki
"It looks like there are a lot of excellent students this time." Ibiki explained back to her.
"Oh well… I'm going to make more than half of the teams fail in the next exam. I will explain the details tomorrow. We will go somewhere else, so ask you Jonin teachers about the rally point and time. That is all. Dismissed." She finished and disappeared.
Before Nana left from her sitting spot she quickly bowed to Gaara as she congratulated him on passing the first exam. Of course she was ignored by him as he turned around leaving her behind.
"Don't forget! You owe me a dango, dattebane!" She yelled behind him smirking as she saw him stop and his hands clenching together forming a fist. Not staying there too long she ran to Naruto and her teammates congratulating them all on passing the exam.
They were one step closer at becoming a Chunin.
