Our next test was the taijutsu test I was confident with since I practiced with my clan taijutsu style Ōkami no kiba no ken (wolf fang fist)

''For this taijutsu test you will be sparring with your classmates, and you will be picked at random' Iruka explained 'the rules are simple: if the student who gets hit directly four times, forfeits or gets knocked out of the ring loses, once I call out your name and your opponent you will come up to fight'

''Satorou Denkpakku vs Delix-tsuki Hyuuga, would you two please come up''

Well, today's the day I die.

Rumors say Delix-tsuki isn't even human and I don't blame them for thinking that, firstly his extremely pale, secondly the guy is insanely strong Rivalling Sasuke, thirdly he's just really weird or so I've heard.

So, I make my way sweating a river to the sparring ground and see my opponent who is unnaturally calm which was somewhat intimidating.

"Let's have a good match" Delix then presumed a gentle-fist fighting stance.

"..."

Well, what could I say I was legitimately fearing for my life and was wondering if I were to go forfeit the match right then and there until I remembered dads' words of encouragement 'make me proud' I was now being fueled by an electrifying amount of determination entered a battle stance.

''Begin!''

Neither I nor Delix-tsuki, Delix, moved and had a standstill both of us in our battle stance until I couldn't take the silence anymore and pounced towards Delix-tsuki with a right hook but then Delix grabbed my wrist and simply twisted my arm and used his palm to push me backward, but I responded with a backflip and pounced trying to sucker punch the Hyūga in the face but he blocked and countered with another palm strike I then weaved under the strike punching his face.

"I commend you, but... this ends here," He said activating his byakugan

Sweating bullets I steel my nerves and go for a left hook, with the Hyuuga dodging it then randomly do a battle stance.

"you're in my range," he said closing his eyes "8 trigrams, 16 palms"

and with a flurry of tenketsu strikes, I'm knocked out of the ring with a few bruises.

And honestly, I was relieved that I was not hospitalized. I guess I might have exaggerated the rumors, but can you blame me? I don't socialize with the guy.

And while everybody was sparring I kinda just, tuned out, I mean it doesn't involve me so why pay attention?

[Moetas PoV] [Earlier that day]

Well, I can already tell today is going to be a great day.

It started with the usual routine of scorns of the civilians as we both walk to the academy and one of them threw a glass bottle at us hitting me on the head.

"Bastards!" I yell in anger "That hurt!"

"Leave my sister alone! I'm gonna be Hokage and prove you all wrong!" Naruto proclaimed proudly

"Believe it!" I proclaim alongside Naruto

We make it to the academy and everybody's there other than that Satorou guy but other than that everything seems normal.

"Yo Naruto, hey Moeta" I hear behind us and turn around and see Hashirama Senju the Second or The Second Coming of the First, just to name a few of his titles.

"Hey Hashi" Naruto replies

"Yo" I reply

"You guys excited for the exam"

"Well, I'm a bit nervous but I think if we give it our best we c-" I start to explain

"Hell, yeah this is only the first step of my road to Hokage, believe it!' Naruto said abruptly

"Ha, you wish I'll be the next Hokage first!" Hashi gloats

"Just because your -great-granddad was the founder of the leaf doesn't mean you'll become Hokage" I inform the proud Senju

"Ya your right it just reassures that I'll become Hokage heh heh heh," He said rubbing his nose

"Quiet everyone," Iruka says to everyone, everybody continues talking

"I SAID QUIET!"

"..."

"Good," Iruka said exhaling "As most of you know today is the day you leave the academy and become rookie shinobi, today is the day where your shinobi career begins once you pass the genin exam you will be assigned to a four-man squad, three genin and a jounin instructor, you'll be taught by your jounin sensei as well as being taken on missions. Now I will be explaining what we will be doing in the exam, The First test is a test on what you have learned throughout your time in the academy, the second test is on your proficiency in shurikenjutsu, the third test is to try your taijutsu skills against each other in a sparring match, the final part of the exam will test your ability of ninjutsu and molding chakra, any questions?"

"..."

"Well let the first test begin!"

After Iruka-sensei finished talking Mizuki handed out a piece of paper to everybody and once Iruka said 'Begin' everybody started writing on their exam sheets, 'well better get started'

After the first test, we made our way out of the auditorium single file and made our way outside there stood on top of a hay bale their target stood,

'This is where we will evaluate your shurikenjutsu prowess with the three basic ranged ninja tools: shuriken, kunai, and senbon, now when I call out your name you are to try to hit a bullseye if possible' Iruka explained 'Sasuke Uchiha.'

Sasuke Uchiha I hate that guy and his brainless worshipers who are everyone in the village, well… Excluding me, a few of my classmates, and Iruka-sensei (who I am grateful for especially when Mizuki is always on our case) but other than that pretty much everybody worships that Uchiha and I can't help but resenting that damned Uchiha he acts like he is better than everybody else he gets easy passes with Mizuki-sensei just because his an Uchiha, and a-"

"- 10/10 with shuriken, 10/10 kunai, 9/10" senbon Iruka announced

'Sheesh does he ever slow down?' I wonder to myself

"Moeta Uzumaki"

I walk up to the stand sweating bullets and it felt like little foxes were running around in my stomach my hands shaking, Mizuki gave me ten shurikens, kunai, and senbon,

"Now try to hit the red target center or as close to the center as possible" Iruka informed

"Okay, I'll try"

A/N (16/03/2023): Yo everyone, I am currently updating and re-innovating, and grammar-fixing the first 6 chapters so look out for some cool stuff!
