Lazyfox: ROTFLHAO I knew she do that~ Ah I had my fun so now it's time for you guys to have yours. As you know where heading to the graduation exam so let's see what happens shall we~
Volcora: Bye-Bye have a wonderful time~
Two years have come and gone and now the time is approaching for our favorite blond haired heroine to graduate and become a full fledge ninja. With the Genin exam all a three days away our heroine is totally prepared for it.
"I'M DOOMED!" Naruko cried throwing her books down as she fell back on the ground in defeat.
Shikamaru is a calm and patient boy who is very lazy so he doesn't sweat the little things and usually never bothers with others feeling the need to let them fend for themselves, but when he was faced with his best friend/crush defeated face he felt like he just got punched in the face. "Blue-eyes you'll be fine just keep studying" he said trying to encourage her.
Naruko sat up pouting. "But, Shika I'm not as smart as you. My grades are mediocre at best, so I'll probably pass the written exam. My Taijutsu is fine, but if the last part of the exam is me performing Genjutsu or of the cloning jutsu I'm screwed!"
"Well, that means you just have to study and practice harder if you even hope of becoming a ninja" Sasuke said disheartened like he didn't care if she passed or not even though he really did want her to pass.
"Ahh! Why do I they make us take that stupid written exam for!? How does taking the stupid exam prove how great a ninja you are it's just a waste of time" Naruko declared hotly starting to feel stressed out and worried about the exam.
"N..Naru-Chan it's used to show our future S..Sensei's our potential and w..willingness to learn" Hinata said timidly studying her ninja handbook.
"Hinata's right dobe and let's face it whatever poor sucker gets you for a student is going to have his cut out for him if you can't comprehend his instructions" Sasuke remarks throwing his a shuriken at target hitting his mark.
"Screw you teme" Naruko growled.
Sasuke was very tempted to make a very smartass comment to that, but held his tongue when he received a glare from Shikamaru who he ignored, but caved when Hinata gave him a pleading look and just went back to his Shuriken practice.
"Naru-Chan no offense or anything, but how do you not understand any of this? I mean you have Shikamaru and his dad at home to teach you this stuff" Choji commented meekly as he forced himself to try and comprehend the material in the book.
Naruko gave him are you serious look. "Choji. Shika and his dad way of teaching someone something is playing Shoji. Now if you recall I'm asleep by the first move is made."
Choji sweat dropped at that as he recalled the last time the son and father pair played the game with the blond girl asleep in Shikamaru's lap. "Haha Right…"
Naruko gave another defeated sigh flinging herself back to the ground so she could stare up into the sky to watch the clouds. As she stared up into the peaceful sky her thoughts started to roam to dark and depressing thoughts making her frown deeply in worry. As she felt the beginning of a headache a gentle and comforting hand was placed on top of her head.
"Smile, Frowning doesn't suite you" Shikamaru said yawning, lying down beside her in the comfy grass.
At his comforting words a giant smile split itself across her face as felt all of her troubling thoughts and worries disappear. "Yosh! Time to get back to studying I have an exam to Ace! Believe It!" she shouted feeling pumped up with excitement that she missed the smirk on Shikamaru's face along with the amused ones from her friends.
" Troublesome girl"
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
The three days have passed and Naruko and her friends have been studying really hard feeling more confident about taking this exam. The academy was filled with excitement and nervousness as academy students sat in their room anxiously waiting to take the exam that would decide their careers as a ninja.
"Ha! I'm going to pass this exam with flying colors and just wait I'll be a Chunin before any of you" Kiba boasted feeling way too cocky which was getting on the nerves of the other students.
"Hey dog boy why don't you try shutting your loud mouth it's giving me a headache" Sakura yelled getting really irritated with Kiba's loud boasting.
Kiba growled at the pink haired girl not liking being insulted. "What you say to me Bubblegum" he snarled showing his pointed fangs.
"What deaf or something dog breath? Maybe you need shout your damn trap up and quit all that barking you do so you can listen like a good dog for once" she snarled back.
Right when Kiba was about to lunge for Sakura the door to the classroom opened revealing Iruka-sensei and another Chunin. The new sensei had white slight blue shoulder length hair with seemingly friendly eyes that flickered darkly for the slightest of seconds as they made contact with Naruko before they went back to normal.
"What the hell is Iruka and the Hokage thinking letting the Kyuubi bitch take this exam. If she passes we're practically making her stronger to kill us all. Hn no matter not like I'll be here to see the fall of this pathetic village" the thought darkly to himself while keeping up his false outer appearance for the kids.
Iruka glanced around his classroom feeling himself swelling up with pride for each and every one of them with a little more affection in his eyes when he made eye contact with Naruko who was smiling brightly at him. "Do your best Naruko. I have faith in you" he thought hoping the best for the blond girl that has become an important part of his life."Class, as of today this might be your last day in this academy as a student. I hope the best for each and every one of you. Remember when you take this exam you're not only doing this for yourself, but for the future of our village."
Everyone sat up straighter in their desk showing their determination for passing this exam.
"There are three section for your exam. First section will be Taijutsu where you will show your physical capabilities which will be graded by me. The second portion of the exam will be a written exam given to you by Mizuki-Sensei, and last section will test your skills in Ninjutsu were you will have to make three successful clones of yourself graded by Mizuki and myself" Iruka explained to his class receiving some groans of protest and a loud whine and thunk from one of them. (Care to guess who lol)
"I wish you all a very successful results and hope you all will make this village very proud to call you ninja's of this village" Mizuki said raising some of the students spirits with his encouraging words.
"Well said Mizuki. Now if your all ready to begin lets head to the field to begin the first section of the exam" Iruka said watching as his student got up and walked out to the training field with Iruka following behind them.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
The class separated into two groups by gender. Naruko stood between Hinata and Ino with Sakura beside her while Shikamaru, Sasuke, Choji, and Kiba stood across from them with the later two glaring at each other while the other boys stood with their friends and the remaining girl stared at Sasuke.
"With this exam I paired you all off with an opponent that matches you in skill. I call out the pairings so listen for your name because that will be the order you will go in. Everybody understand?" Iruka asked getting nods from the students. "Good the matches go as followed...
Shino Aburame vs Miharu Saruwatari
Choji Akimichi vs Hinata Hyuga
Kiba Inuzuka vs Sakura Haruno
Shikamaru Nara vs Ino Yamanaka
Sasuke Uchiha vs Naruko Uzumaki
(I know there are a lot more kids in the class but these are the mains ones so please don't be mad I cut the list off like this I'm just too lazy to create twenty something Oc)
When Iruka-sensei finished calling out the pairs many were happy about the partner while others were not namely the gang except for Sakura who was glowing with excitement.
"Cha! I'm going to knock dog's boys teeth out" Sakura declared happily.
"Kuso! I have to fight the Teme what kinda luck do I have!" Naruko whined tugging on her pigtails out of frustrations.
"I thought you be happy to fight Sauske?" Ino asked.
"Oh I'm happy to kick the teme's ass, but not with his crazy fangirls around" she explained pointing to the glaring hoard of fangirls behind her.
"Need me to scare them off cuz I can if you want?" Sakura asked.
"Nan let them be no reason to bother with them not like they'll do anything with Iruka-sensei around" Naruko reasoned as her attention was drawn to Iruka calling for the end of the first match.
Naruko turned to see Miharu on the ground outside the circle on her back with that Shino kid standing in the ring untouched looking completely calm and relaxed like he wasn't trying at all.
"Nicely done you two. Next pair please step into the ring" Iruka called making some notes on his clip board of the match as Hinata and Choji stepped into the ring looking uncertain about facing each other. "When your both ready begin."
"Hinata, Choji do your best!" Naruko encouraged along with Ino and Sakura.
Both gave them a thankful smile before getting into their individual fighting stances springing at each other with hesitant, but effective attacks.
Couple minutes Iruka called the match to a stop when Hinata and Choji both knocked each other out of the ring. Both getting complements from their friends as Sakura and Kiba took their places in the ring making the air in the training field spark up with a heated tension.
"It's payback bubblegum" Kiba sneered cracking his knuckles in anticipation.
"That's what I was thinking Dog-boy just hope you don't run off with your tail between your legs" Sakura growled mimicking the boy.
Hearing Iruka call for the start of the match Kiba sprung out a Sakura with a raised fist while Sakura rose to the challenge drawing her fist back to met his strike midway. Their fist connected with each other harshly with each other making them crack with the force of the attack. Wanting to gain the edge on her opponent Sakura tried to knock him off his feet with a sweeping kick, but Kiba saw it coming and jumped over her attack landing behind her delivering a swift kick to her back.
Gasping in pain Sakura gritted her teeth to sustain her balance before she turned back around to retaliate smirking happily as her fist landed a harsh blow to his abdomen making him double over to gasp for air. Finding him open she went for the finishing blow by going for a roundhouse kick to his head, but was caught mid kick and flipped over. Sakura grunted as a heavy weight fell on her stomach signaling Kiba had pinned her down.
"I win bubblegum" he teased breathlessly once Iruka called an end to the match for which he then got off her to walk back over to the boy side wearing a victorious smirk.
Sakura growled frustratedly as she stomped back over to her friends looking really pissed off. "I can't believe I lost to Dog-boy how embarrassing what's even more embarrassing is that he pinned me down that arrogant jerk!" she raged.
"I...It was still a good match S..Sakura-Chan" Hinata said softly hoping to cheer the mad pinkette up.
Sakura calmed down a little, but was still sour she lost, but decided to let it go...for now. "Thanks Hinata-Chan. Your match was good too."
"T..Thank you" she replied softly a little embarrassed by the praise.
"Oh look it's finally my turn" Ino cheered hearing her name being called up with Shikamaru.
"Good luck Ino-Chan" Naruko stated giving her a smile watching her hold up the victory sign as she ran into the ring to face her sleepy eyed best friend which caused her to sweat drop and sigh.
"What's the sigh for. Hate to see Shikamaru fight"Sakura teased.
"Haha you wish. See his expression and the look in his eyes?" Naruko asked.
Sakura looked and gave a nod not understanding what that had to do with the upcoming fight. "So?"
"That look means he's not even going to bother trying which means he's going to give up" she stated.
"Yea right. Even he can't be that lazy to just forf..."
"This is such a drag. I give" Shikamaru yawned walking out of the ring when the match was called to a start causing everyone to fall down in exasperation except for Naruko who knew it was going to end that way.
"I told ya so."
(Skipping the remaining matches to Naruko and Sasuke's fight)
"Last fight of the first exam. Naruko, Sasuke please step into the ring" Iruka ordered watching the two rivals enter the ring one looking calm and collected while the other was trembling with excitement.
"Are you ready teme cuz I'm going to floor you. Believe it!" Naruko declared shaking off her earlier jitters.
"Hn. Whatever you say Dobe" Sasuke replied cooly making his fangirls squeal to his displeasure and irritation.
"If your both ready...BEGIN!" Iruka shouted starting the match.
Naruko like normal rushed at Sasuke hoping her smaller form will give her a better advantage. Sasuke seeing the attack coming easily dodged striking out a swift kick to the side which she blocked with her arm attacking with a kick of her own which too was blocked.
"Not bad Dobe" Sasuke grunted trying to push her leg back so he could free his arm to strike.
"Thanks. Pretty good yourself Teme" Naruko grunted back putting more force into her kick so she could flip off him landing a foot away from him.
Getting untangled Sasuke went on the offensive starting this round with a barrage of punches which Naruko evade by swaying left and right even ducking and flipping. On one flip she managed to chip Sasuke chin leaving him stun enough for Naruko to take up the offensive landing a few blows to his chest and abdomen sending him flying back a few feet to the ring's edge with a power kick to the stomach.
Sasuke caught himself and gave a small grunt of pain as he stilled to catch his breath, but also smirking in approval at how well Naruko was doing against him. "Got to hand it too her she really isn't half bad, but doesn't mean I'm go to lose to her" he thought watching Naruko charge at him again.
Letting her draw closer to him he jumped into the air as she struck out with her fist making her stumble off balance which meant he had the advantage now and he took full advantage of it. Landing behind her he kicked out with a powerful roundhouse kick to her side throwing her out of the ring making her hit the ground hard.
"Kuso! Teme you jerk that seriously hurt!" Naruko screamed rubbing her sore side glaring at him with dirt on her face and grass in her ruffled hair.
"Better luck next time Dobe" Sasuke teased smirking at her which only pissed her off more to the point her face turned red from anger.
"You. Are. So. DEAD!" she screamed lunging for him only to be caught mid lunge by Shikamaru who was holding her tightly while she thrashed wildly in his hold so she could strangle the smirking Uchiha.
"You really are a troublesome girl" Shikamaru sighed as Naruko began to spit out curses towards Sasuke who just looked like he was finding some sick pleasure and making her this mad. "What a drag."
Iruka along with the class laughed at Naruko's outburst except for the Sasuke FanClub not liking Naruko for cursing at their beloved, but they were ignored and soon enough Naruko calmed down and was left to pout in Shikamaru's arms.
"You calm now?" he asked once she stopped thrashing.
"Yes"
"Good"
With that he let her go missing her warmth already, but was happy to know her scent was clinging to his clothes. "She smells like the forest with a hint of vanilla" he mused finding himself to really enjoy the unique scent.
"You all did very well and I'm very proud of all of you, but remember this was only the first part. It's time for you to proceed to the written portion, so everyone head back inside" Iruka informed leading his students back into the academy.
Naruko felt her jitters coming back ten hold making her feel nauseous and terrified. "What of I fail? What if I forget everything on the test? I never become a ninja or Hokage! Worst of all I'll be separated from all my friends and Shika and disappoint Grandma Kaede!" with those kind of thoughts in her head she was brought tears to her eyes.
As soon as she felt like letting the tears fall she felt her body being pulled into a warm chest with strong arms wrapping around her.
"Didn't I already say this before Smile. I hate seeing you unhappy it's not you" Shikamaru mumbled into her hair.
Naruko smiled hugging him back burying her face into his chest inhaling his comforting scent. "He smells like a meadow of fresh flowers. I really like his scent it's a comforting smell especially when he's hugging me" she mused enjoying this moment with him letting her worries and fears melt away in his strong embrace.
They continued their hug with Shikamaru leaning down to kiss her forehead. :As long as I'm around I'll make sure to keep that smile on her face" he vowed to himself pulling her closer to him.
So lost in their moment they both failed to realize they had company."Hey Love-birds its time to go! You two can make out with each other after the exam" Sakura shouted enjoying the embarrassing blushes on their faces while the rest of the gang laughed at their misfortune heading back inside the academy.
Naruko's face right now puts all apples, tomatoes, Red chili peppers and lobsters to shame right now. "Sakura! You she devil we weren't doing that and we're not love birds!" she shouted running after the laughing pinkette with Shikamaru right behind with neither of them noticing or caring they were holding each others hand.
"I really do have nothing to worry about as long as I have Shikamaru by my side. I just hope he won't staying there forever" she thought happily running back inside the academy.
