Suiren Uzumaki: The disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fangirl in pre-shippuden and Naruto would have his Father's smarts while keeping his Mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them. I do, however, own Rin Uzumaki (Namikaze). Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!

26: Start Your Engine; The Chunin Exams Begins!
...My Line...
Tsunade looked around the group once they all were sitting for a moment before picking up the remote and hitting play.
"Next episode," she stated as she put it down.
They all sat back to watch.
...My Line...
"It's time to begin!" a man with three scares on his face said. "I'm Ibiki Morino, your proctor and from this moment on...your worst enemy."
'We're doomed,' Rin thought as she hanged her head with a groan.
...My Line...
Obito snickered while his two teammates smiled at that.
"Ibiki can't be that bad…" Rin trailed before she looked at her Sensei with a raised eyebrow. "Can he?"
"I have no idea, Rin," Minato answered as he looked just as confused. "But, I guess, we'll find out."
...My Line...
"First...you candidates from the Village Hidden in the Sound!" Ibiki called out as he pointed at them. "Knock it off! Who told you that you could fight!? Do you want to be failed before we even began?!"
"Sorry," the Sound Ninja that looks like a mummy said. "It's our first time. Guess, we're a little jumpy...sir."
The redhead gave the three Sound Ninja the stink eye when she heard the sarcasm.
"I'll say this once so listen up!" Ibiki ordered. "There will be no combat between candidates, no attacking each other without the permission of proctor and even then the use of fatal force is strictly prohibited. Anyone, who even thinks of messing with me, will be disqualified immediately. Got it?"
"No fatal force?" the second Sound Ninja asked. "That's no fun."
The Uzumaki let out a sigh while shaking her head.
"Now if we're ready we'll proceed to the first stage of the Chunin Exams," the Morino said. "Hand over your paperwork in return you'll each be given number." Ibiki held up a small plaque with a number 1 in the middle. "This number determines where you'll sit. We'll start the written test once you're all seated."
"The what?" Naruto asked making Rin and them to look at him. "Did he say...written?" Just the Koketsu held up a stack of papers with a smile. "NOOOOOOO! Not a written test! NO WAY!"
...My Line...
"Some one doesn't like tests that are written," Jiraiya cackled.
"Can't blame him," Obito sighed. "Their evil."
Kushina ruffled up the young Uchiha Chunin's hair with a smile.
...My Line...
Episode 26: Start Your Engine: The Chunin Exams Begins!
The Uzumaki Heiress let out a sigh while she shook her head before she followed Sasuke and Sakura to the front of the room which made Naruto run to catch up to them. Once the redhead had been handed her number after handing in her paperwork, Rin walked to her seat and sat down before looking around for her team.
'Okay, I can seen Naruto and Uchiha from where I am,' she thought. 'But, where is Haruno?' She narrowed her eyes as she looked over to where her Brother was panicking before looking around at the Chunins surrounding them. 'Why do I feel like that this is a team related score kind of test?' The redhead shook her head before going through hand signs out of sight after nicking her thumb. 'Doesn't matter, but just in case...Summoning Jutsu!' The red hair Genin smirked when she noticed that no one heard or seen the smoke of her summoning which meant that her seal worked. 'Now I just need to wait.'
...My Line...
"She's already acting and thinking like a Chunin," Fugaku said in awe.
"Ookami is truly head of the game," Mikoto added with a smile.
"That is diffidently Minato's way of thinking," Jiraiya stated with a smile.
This made the blonde blushed in embarrassment while Kushina smiled at him.
...My Line...
'I don't know where the others are sitting,' Naruto thought in panic. 'I'm all alone. This is already a disaster.'
'Tough luck for Naruto,' the Haruno thought with a smirk. 'Written Exams are diffidently not his strong point.'
"Hmm...Naruto," a shy female voice spoke up.
"Oh," the blonde said as he looked over to see the Hyuuga Heiress. "Where did you come from Hinata? I didn't see you."
"I...I just wanted to say good luck and everything," Hinata told him softly.
"Huh?" the male Uzumaki smiled at her. "Thanks." 'Wow, that's weird. I didn't even notice her. It's like she's not there even when she's there.'
"Everyone eyes up front," the Morino ordered as he tapped a chalk on the black board. "There are a few rules that you need to be aware of and I won't answer any questions, so you better pay attention the first time around.'
'No questions?' the pinkette thought. 'What kind of rules are those?'
'Yup, we're doomed,' Rin sighed.
"Alright, rule number 1 is this: The written part of the exam is conducted for a point reduction system," Ibiki told them as he wrote it on the board. "Contrary to what some of you maybe use to, you all begin the test with a prefect score of 10 points." The redhead raised an eyebrow at that. "One will be deducted for each answer you get wrong so if you miss three your final score will be seven."
'And if I miss 10 then my final score will be 0,' thought Naruto with a nod of his head.
"Rule number 2: Teams will pass or fail on the total number of all members," the proctor informed them.
"WHAT!?" Sakura yelled in shock while the rest all gasp in shock.
'CALLED IT!' the Uzumaki Heiress thought as she heard whether then seen the Haruno bang her head on the desk.
"Wait a second!" Sakura called out. "Your saying that we all get scored as a team?!"
...My Line...
"Yes," the pre-teens of Team Minato answered at the same time.
"That's what he said."
"I think she's going to have a habit of questioning things that are easy to understand."
"How annoying."
The adults all either smiled or smirked while Itachi just napped.
...My Line...
"SILENCE!" Ibiki bellowed. "I have my reasons, so shut up and listen."
'Reasons?'
"Rule number 3: The sentinels you see positioned around the room are there to watch you carefully for any signs of cheating," the proctor stated. "And for every incident they spot, they will subtract two points from the culprits score. Be warned, their eyes are extremely sharp and if they catch you five times you'll be dismissed before the tests are even scored."
'Shesh, they make sure that there's all sorts of ways to lose points,' the pink hair Genin thought.
"Anyone fool enough to be caught be the sentinels doesn't deserve to be here," the Morino stated.
"I've got my eyes on you guys," Kotetsu informed them.
"If you wanna be considered Shinobi then show us what exceptional shinobi you can be."
'Ok, ok, relax,' Sakura thought. 'I know Rin and I will do alright and Sasuke should be fine. So, even if Naruto gets a 0. If we do well enough we should survive this.'
"One more thing," Ibiki said as if he picked up the pinkette's thoughts. "If any candidates should get a 0 and fail the test then the entire team fails."
"WHAT HE SAY!?" the Haruno yelled.
"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!" the red hair Genin joined in as her hair started to raise up into tails like fragments.
...My Line...
"Language!" Kushina scolded.
"Kushina, your Daughter hear you," Mikoto deadpan.
The Uzumaki just shrugged her shoulders.
...My Line...
'Their going to kill me,' the blonde Uzumaki thought as he felt the glares of Sasuke and Sakura.
"Naruto?"
"The final question won't be given out until 15 minutes before the end of the testing period," Ibiki informed them. "You'll have one hour." He looked up at the clock on the wall to see the big hand hit the 12. "BEGIN!"
As one, all of the Genin turned over their paper and got started on it.
'Okay, Sakura, focus,' the pinkette thought. 'Focus. This is where you show your stuff. Just don't blow it Naruto? Get at least one of them right?'
'Tch, ah man,' the Uchiha thought. 'This doesn't look good. He's just sitting there. He's going to choking.'
'What am I worried about?' the blonde hair Genin thought in question. 'It's just a test. I've done a lot harder things, ya know. All I've got to do is read it and take my time. Just read all of the questions and fine the ones that I have a chance of answering. No pressure. Okay, number 1. Oh, I see...I've to deffer a code. Okay. Hmmm. Okay, forget that one. What's next?'
Rin, however, was looking over the test sheets.
'There is no way that Naruto can answer these,' the Uzumaki thought to herself as the wolf pup, she had summoned before the test began went looking for the answers of the questions that she didn't know. 'I can answer the ones about math and the sole ones about the human body and Fuinjutsu, but the rest...forget it.' The redhead bit her thumb nail. 'Okay, so maybe Naruto might be able to answer the one about Fuinjutsu after all it's an Uzumaki specialty and I have been teaching him as he does want to learn how to use the Flying Raijin, but he won't be able to answer the rest of the questions.' She bite her lower lip as she glanced at her Brother. 'Oh, Naruto.'
'Line B in the diagram indicates the trajectory of a shuriken thrown at enemy C by Ninja A seated atop a tree 7 meters tall,' Sasuke mentally read to himself. 'Describe and formulate the trajectory required if C were positioned at points D, E, and F. Also predict the farthest possible range of the shuriken and explain how you arrived at your answer.'
...My Line...
"Huh?"
Kakashi, Rin, and Obito all blinked as their minds blanked.
"What the heck?" the dark hair Chunin asked in shock.
"I...I can't answer that," the brown hair Chunin said just as shocked.
"I don't know the answer," the silver hair Jonin mumbled in shock. "How do I not know the answer?"
...My Line...
'These are integrated problems bases on principles of uncertainty and require complicated mechanical energy analysis,' Sakura thought. 'Incredibly advance stuff. Forget it.' She looked up and at Naruto in shock. 'Naruto doesn't have a hope in hell in solving these. In fact there can't be more then a handful of people here besides me, who understand it.'
'Hmm, okay skip that one,' the blonde thought as he moved onto the next one. 'Next.'
'Each problem is more difficult then the one before,' the Haruno sighed.
After going over all the questions, Naruto looked up in a panic as he was only able to answer one on Fuinjutsu.
'Haha, that's interesting,' the dark hair Genin thought. 'I can't begin to understand a signal one of these problems.'
There was a pawing at the redhead's leg making her pretended to have dropped her pencil and bend down to pick it up.
'Forget it!' the male Uzumaki thought as the Hyuuga looked over at him. 'This is hopeless! What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?'
'I need to have a high score if we have a chance,' the pinkette thought. 'This is so hard. I'm almost tempted to...no, I can't do that. It's...it's almost like their trying to get us to cheat. I just hope that Sasuke, Naruto, and Rin don't fall for it. No, they wouldn't. Not even Naruto is that much of a dumbbell. Right?'
'Okay, don't panic,' Naruto thought. 'Don't panic. There's only one thing to do...I'll just have to cheat and not get caught.' He then looked up at the front as Ibiki walked in his line of sight and looked around. 'Yeah right. And risk getting thrown out on my butt. I can't do that!'
'It's strange,' the Uchiha thought. 'They make more of a fuss about cheating than they do about the test itself. These Sentinels…" He looked around at them. 'Watching our every move, trying to catch one of…' Just then one of the Sentinels wrote something on his clipboard. 'Somebody just got nailed. That's another thing. Why only two point deduction? Doesn't make any sense. Ordinarily, if someone is caught cheating even once, that's grounds for dismissal right there.'
The dark hair Genin let out a quiet gasp.
"Anyone fool enough to let himself get caught by the sentinels doesn't deserve to be here," Ibiki stated. "Show us what exceptional shinobi you can be?"
'So, that's it?' Sasuke thought. 'Yeah, that's got to be. This is about more then the written exam. The real aim is not to test our knowledge, but our ability to gather information. Yeah, that explains everything, eagle eye sentinels every where, these incredibly difficult questions, the fact that only two points are deducted for every incident of cheating. Very cleaver. A ninja must see through deception. He's not actually forbidding us from cheating, he's expecting us to. He's daring us to cheat and not get caught. Only an exceptional shinobi can get away with it under these certain circumcise stances and that's just what he's looking for. I wonder how many of the others have realized that this is what it's all about.' He glanced over at the blonde, who was panicking. 'Come on Naruto, you can figure it out. Use your head before it's to late. Use your head.'
'This is bad,' Naruto thought with panic. 'This is bad.'
When Rin came back up in her hand was not just her pencil, but also the answers to the rest of the questions. The wolf pup jumped up into her lap and laid there to wait for his summoner to give him his next job.
...My Line...
"So you think she's going to have that pup take the answers to Naruto, who seems to have the most trouble?" Obito asked.
"I think so," Rin answered. "It's what I would do if the three of us were in their place."
This got her a smile from her two teammates and proud looks from the adults.
...My Line...
'Okay, so if the real test here is to find away to steal the answers without getting caught,' the Uchiha thought as he looked around those in front of him. 'The next question is...to figure out whose got all of the answers.'
Just then the red hair Sand Genin started to call forth sand while the puppet user watched.
'Looks like Gaara figured it out,' Kankuro thought. 'Okay, Crow. I'm counting on you.'
Off one on the other side Kiba had Akamaru sitting on his head and the puppy barked quietly.
"Yeah, that's it," he told the puppy as he wrote the answer down. "Good boy. Okay. Now for number 4."
Akamaru barked again before looking around.
...My Line...
"That's so obvious!" Obito yelled in shock. "That it's not even funny!"
"Your right about that, Obito," Kakashi stated.
Rin giggled softly at the two.
...My Line...
The mummy looking Genin from the Sound had his sole eye closed as he listened to the sound of a pencil behind him.
'Judging from the rhythm, the deterioration and frequency of the strokes,' he thought. 'Yes, I see.'
...My Line...
"Creepy."
...My Line...
A fly sat on a table watching as one of the testers were writing their answers before being scared off and flied back to Shino.
'Well?' he thought. 'Show me.' The fly then made a figure 8 in the answer. '8 of course.'
He then got to writing and when he finished, but the Aburame was unaware that when he moved back a set of mirrors over his head could see his sheet .
'Lee, when you can see it adjust your headband,' Tenten thought as she moved her fingers and pencil that has strings attached.
Rock Lee looked up and noticed them before he placed his forehead protector around his forehead.
...My Line...
"Cleaver."
"Agreed."
...My Line...
'Tick, tick,' the blonde thought. 'Couldn't they have had a digital clock. Ugh! Times running out. That does it! I've got no choice. I've got to cheat. Hang on. I can't do that. What if I get caught? What Onee-chan, Sakura, and Sasuke going to think? On the other hand. I'm sunk and I take them down with me. Either way, I'm dead meat.'
"Naruto," Hinata spoke up quietly.
"Huh?"
"If...If you want, I can show you my test," the Hyuuga said.
'What?' the male Uzumaki thought. 'She'll let me look at her test. Why would she want to do that? Unless...of course, it's some kind of trick. Yeah, I bet...no. What am I thinking? No way. Hinata isn't like that. But, she could have been forced into tricking me by Kiba and the others. I wouldn't put it past them.' "Hey...huh? Hinata. Can I ask you something?"
"Hmm?"
"Why would you want to show me your answers?"
"Why?" she asked. "Well, just because...well, you see...just because I don't want you to have to leave."
"Huh?"
"It'll be nice if we can all stick together...I mean, the 10 of us. Being rookies and all."
"That makes sense I suppose," Naruto said. "I thought that you were trying to pull a fast one there. Sorry." 'This is my lucky day. I mean, what are the chance of sitting next to someone, who wants you to cheat off of her?'
...My Line...
"Hinata is so sweet," Kushina gashed before she looked at her husband. "We will have to talk to Hiashi and his Wife about a marriage contract after the twins are born."
Minato smiled at her softly.
"Of course, Kushina," he agreed with a nod.
This made the redhead to beam at him before turning back.
...My Line...
He moved to take a look when she slid her paper carefully over to him only for a kunai to fly past him into the desk behind him.
'Whoa...how did they know? I haven't even done anything yet.'
"What? What the? What was that all about?"
'Yes, Kotetsu-san,' Rin agreed. 'What was that about?' She narrowed her eyes at the man. 'After all you could have hit my Brother with that kunai.'
"5 strikes and your out," Kotetsu told an Older Genin. "You just failed the test."
"What? It can't be?"
"You and your teammates will leave the room immediately," Kotetsu ordered.
"Candidate 23 fail! 27 and 43 fail!"
The redhead let out a sigh as she used this to hand over a very small scroll to her wolf pup to give to Naruto before going back home.
...My Line...
"Smart girl."
"Very cleaver."
...My Line...
"It's not fair! I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything!"
"No!" a Sand Genin yelled at a sentinel. "No way! Who said I cheated 5 times? Where's your proof?" At that Rin rolled her eyes. "How can you keep track of all of us? You've got the wrong guy! How do you know I wasn't just…"
The Uzumaki Heiress blinked a few times before smirking as the sentinel that the Sand Genin was yelling at pinned him to the wall fast.
"Sorry pal, we were chosen for this duty because don't make mistakes like that. You can't even blink without us seeing it. We're the best of the best and you, my friend are history." The sentinel let go of the boy. "Now get out. Take your teammates with you."
"Naruto," Hinata whispered. "Go ahead. Look."
Naruto glanced at her and her test before something got his attention.
"Huh?" he mumbled as he looked over to see Izumo writing on his clipboard, who looked up and smirked. "Thank you. I appreciate it, but no."
"Huh?"
"Hey, I'm an Ace Ninja," he told her. "I don't need to cheat to pass this."
"Huh? Well, okay. But...huh...are you sure?"
"Yeah," he answered. "Besides, if I got caught or anything, I wouldn't want you to get into trouble."
"Huh?" 'He cares.' "Yes, your right. Stupid idea. I'm sorry."
"Nah," Naruto said with a slight laugh. "Forget about it." 'Yeah, right. I should have my head examined. When the heck did I get so noble?' It was then that he felt something paw at his leg making h im to pretend to drop his pencil and deck under the table to what it was only to get a surprise. 'Onee-chan's wolf summon?' He then noticed the scroll that it had. 'What's that?' He picked the scroll and his pencil before the wolf left to return home. 'What could Onee-chan want?' The blonde sat up and opened the scroll where no one would see only to find answers to the test with a small note. 'Know that I am always here for you, Naruto. Best of luck, Rin.' The male Uzumaki glanced behind him at here the redhead was writing out the answers onto her own test before he smiled softly. 'Onee-chan.'
With that, he turned back and started to write out the answers that he got from the Uzumaki Heiress.
...My Line...
"Ah," the females all gashed at the scene. "So cute."
Minato had a soft smile on his face as the way that the twins looked out for each other.
...My Line...
Just then Sakura put her pencil to the paper and started to go write at light speed.
'Byakugan,' Neji thought as he activated his Clan's bloodline.
'Sharingan,' Sasuke thought with his own Clan's bloodline activated. 'I'll try and inmate the movements of his pen.' The Uchiha then started to copy the boy in front of him before smirking. 'Bingo. I hit the jackpot with this guy.'
...My Line...
"Their figuring it out. All of them."
...My Line...
'Look at her,' Ino thought as she watched the pink hair Genin. 'She cranking through this thing. Okay, Sakura. I can see that you've got a brain behind that oversize forehead of yours.' She then formed a hand hand sign 'Now I think I'll put it to work for me. You should be flattered girl. I don't just hit anyone with my Mind Transfer Jutsu.'
Sakura felt something hit her as the Yamanaka's body fall forward like she was sleeping.
'So, Ino has got her jutsu working I see,' Shikamaru thought. 'About time.'
'Way to go,' Choji thought as he looked over. 'Way to put that brainiac to work for us.'
'Thanks Sakura for letting me hang out in your soul for a bit,' Ino thought as she lifted Sakura's head. 'Even if it is a little cramp in here. Now I've got memorize these answers quick, so I can pass them on to Choji and Shikamaru.'
59, you fail!"
"Numbers 33 and 9 fail!"
'That's the 13th team to be dismissed,' Kabuto thought as he watched.
"Number 41 fail!"
"Numbers 35 and 62 fail!"
"Hey! No way!"
Just then the guy was hit and knocked into something with a yell as Gaara just focused on what he was doing.
'Look at this one,' Ibiki thought when he noticed. 'Cool as cucumber. Stays focus as if nothing is happening. Hmm, not bad for a novelist.'
...My Line...
"He's got a point," Fugaku mumbled.
"Yeah, but there is something about him," Hiruzen said as he narrowed his eyes.
"What is it, Sensei?" Tsunade asked.
"I'm not sure," was the answer she got.
Everyone shared a look with each other in confusion.
...My Line...
All of a sudden the sand became another eye in his h an d.
'Opening of the third eye,' Gaara thought. 'Invisibly linked to the optic nerve.'
He then crushed the sand made eye in his hand and the sand flies through the air before getting into the eyes of one of the test, who dropped his pencil and started to rub his eyes.
'Gah, something's in my eye.'
Some of the sand then formed into the eye from before and looked at the test. Gaara then picked up his pencil and started to write out the answers that he sees thanks to the eye.
...My Line...
"He has got to be the youngest Son of Rasa," Hiruzen said.
"And no doubt the Jinchuuriki of the One Tails," Tsunade added.
"Have to agree," Jiraiya seconded.
"I really won't be surprised if that was the case."
...My Line...
"Um...excuse me?" Kankuro called out as he raised a hand.
"What is it?"
"Got to use the can," the puppeteer answered. "Sorry.
Rin looked over her shoulder at him with a narrow especially when she noticed that there was 1 to many sentinels.
"We go with you to make sure that your not up to anything."
"Right," Kankuro said with a smile. "That's perfectly understandable."
The redhead watched as the two walked out before looking back up front and raised an eyebrow at Ibiki, who was watching them as well.
...My Line...
"Like that wasn't obvious," Kakashi snorted.
His two teammates snorted as well at that.
...My Line...
"Securities pretty tight around here," the Sand Genin said as he went about his business. "But, these sentinels aren't as eagle eyed as everyone thinks. After all they haven't noticed that there is one more sentinel then there use to be. Right Crow?"
Part the man's face fell off to reveal a camera like eye.
...My Line...
"Creepy."
"Freaky is more like it."
...My Line...
'Only 20 minutes left and I've only got half of them finished thanks to Onee-chan,' Naruto thought as he looked at the clock. 'I'm so busted...unless...in 5 minutes they'll give out the 10th question. That's what it all comes down to. Everything is riding on that. Ya know.'
...My Line...
Everyone sighed as the screen went black as Jiraiya picked up the remote.
"One more episode and then it's lunch time," the Toad Sage told them as Mikoto and Kushina made Shadow Clones to start cooking for the group.
"Right," they all agreed.
The group went to more drinks before getting back to watch another episode.
