Chapter 12: the exams
I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and energized. so how did it become like this?
"umm boss are you free," I watched as the konohamaru asked me it.
"yeah, what do you need," I asked him.
"are you going to play ninja with us," he asked excitedly.
I rubbed his head, "I can't today because I have things to do today."
"Why would you play ninja," I heard Sakura from behind me.
"hey boss who's this girl," konohamaru asked.
"I don't know her," I said ruthlessly.
"oh," konohamaru said defeated.
"Besides she's not my type, and I have a .... girl I'm interested in," I told him.
"as expected of boss Naruto," he said with I thumbs up.
I turned to Sakura, "if you want to be semi-useful go to the hospital and learn medical ninjutsu."
I chased after konohamaru and watched as he bumped into a guy wearing all black and a puppet on his back.
"that hurts," he said as he looked down at him.
I used my senses and noticed everyone staring at us. I also noticed the kid in the tree with two types of chakras, he also had a bad seal on him.
he grabbed konohamaru by his shirt and I had my sword at his neck.
"let him go," I said as I help my sword steady.
I watched as his friend's eyes went wide and he gulped. he slowly put him back on the ground.
I removed my sword and put it back inside of my seal.
"There now we can talk like civilized people. my name's Uzumaki Naruto," I said.
"kankoru of the sand," he responded.
"I wish you good luck for the chunin exams, and also may I know your name," I said looking towards the guy behind Sasuke.
the man who was standing upside down looked at my red hair before answering, "Gaara."
"Good, if you need help with the raccoon let me know and I'll seal him up... properly," I said the last part as I looked at his stomach.
"anyways kids come on, Naruto wants to go home and get dru- go to sleep," I said as I left.
I however made clones in front of konohamaru and his friends before I put my finger to my mouth.
'follow the sound ninjas,' I thought and they body flickered out of sight to keep track of them.
"teach me how to do that boss," he asked.
"to do that, you need to first learn chakra control," I said as I walked on the nearest tree.
"add chakra to your feet and when you come to the top I will teach you your next lesson," I told the trio.
"alright I have to meet my team so you guys behave and train hard," I said as I disappeared from their view.
I appeared on the bridge and jumped into the water and sat on top of the water to grind my water manipulation skill.
I felt Sakura and Sasuke coming in our direction, however, I knew Kakashi was hiding on the roof so I got up from the river and jumped onto the bridge.
I continued to stare at the roof and when he moved I kept track of his position.
"Morning guys," he said appearing back on the roof.
"hello Kakashi sensei," I replied.
"I know this is sudden, but I nominated you guys for the chunin exams," he said like an airhead.
{magician is online}
"you think that makes up for it," Sakura yelled.
"here is your application," he said handing us a paper.
"those of you who wish to take it should sign those papers and turn them in at room 301 by 4 pm tomorrow," he said.
I pulled out a pen and signed it without hesitation, before looking at the others.
Sasuke also aimed his and Sakura not wanting to waste her chance to be with Sasuke signed her.
"since I'm a "good" teammate Sakura, I'm telling you this in the nicest way possible, go to the hospital to learn medical ninjutsu.
into has been training with me since I was 8 and she will be leagues ahead of you, so if you want to stand a chance go," I said pointing to the hospital.
"and Sasuke... do what you want, I don't have any advice," I said with a shrug.
{magician: anyone on.}
"alright goodbye," I said as I appeared back home.
{demon: yeah I'm online, what happened.)
Sadie: bored
(magician has got 201 coins)
(invisible assassin is online)
{Naruto: welcome back nightingale.
nightingale: I thought I was going crazy... it turns out it was real.
Sadie: welcome to my life.
(naruto got 254 coins)
(nightingale got 300 coins)
{Naruto: alright guys as much as I would love to talk with you I need to train.}
I appeared outside of the building and waited for Sasuke and Sakura to come. when they did come we walked inside and I immediately noticed the genjutsu on the door.
"Sasuke," I called out to him.
"what," he said.
"I know you want to show your Uchiha pride but if you call out their genjutsu you will have more people passing, if you keep quiet then we can eliminate more opponents," I convinced him.
"Hm," he said as we continued to walk past them.
"oh hey Lee," I called out to him.
"Naruto," he said as he looked at me.
"come on and bring your teammates," I said.
I just cast them in a genjutsu and we walked right past everyone before making It to the other side.
"I didn't know you can use genjutsu Naruto," lee exclaimed.
"I don't use it a lot because my... partner is immune to it," I said as I thought about our battles.
"I would love to train with your partner. if I lose I will do 5 laps around the village on my hands," he said.
"good luck with that buddy," I said.
meanwhile, the two teams were looking confused about how we knew each other.
"We used to train when we were 6 I believe," I told them.
"so your Sakura right," lee said as he approached her.
"lee take it from a friend but she's not the one," I said as I steered him away from that ticking time bomb.
we walked inside the hall and found some seats.
"Naruto you're late," ino said as she jumped on my back.
"hello to you too ino, have you been practicing," I asked.
"yeah," she replied.
"and have you been eating? after all your still growing you will need it," I asked.
"of course who do you think I am," she pouted.
"yo Shikamaru," I called out.
"What a drag," said as he and choji came towards us.
"Hey, you guys should be quieter," said four eyes.
I immediately knew something was off. I checked this guess and I could see a long list of things.
my trust went from 5 percent to 0. I started listening to what this guy said, however, I was paying extra attention to his body language.
"I'll share some info with you rookies," he said as he began to explain his "nin info cards".
"what information do you have about me," I questioned. if he turned out to have major information then I was going to take him out when I could.
"Naruto Uzumaki, rank: genin, completed 1A rank, 2 b rank, and 45 under-the-table missions. killed Zabuza, also known as the demon of the mist," he started saying.
that confirmed it, he was a traitor because nobody besides the Hokage knows about the 45 missions.
"do you guys smell that," I asked?
Akamaru also whimpered and I smelt again.
"it smells like a snake," I said.
almost immediately you can see the difference in his face and he left.
"quite down you worthless bastards," I saw a scarred man say.
"I am morno ibiki and blah blah blah," was what I heard.
we got a new seat and I sat next to Hinata. I felt something and turned around to fight Scáthach, causing me to almost panic before realizing no one can see her.
thank God for runes.
"give me more soda," she threatened.
I snuck a seal behind me and she disappeared with it. I looked at the test and it wasn't worth the effort so I left a clear note saying.
"Kabuto is a traitor, Orochimaru is my #1 suspect. he smells like snakes."
if they didn't listen to that then these people are dumb.
"These are the rules of desperation. first, you must decide whether you will take it or not," he said.
he started talking about other rules to the question and I made sure to pay attention in order to get promoted.
I saw many people raise their hands and get disqualified, and I used this to signal to Sasuke and Sakura to not raise their hands.
*sigh* I guess I had to play dumb to lure the snake.
"don't underestimate me, I will not run. I'll take it, even if it means I have to be a genin forever. I'm not afraid," I shouted.
"I'll ask you again, your life is riding on this decision, this is your last chance to quit," he said.
"I follow my unbending words, it's my ninja way," I shivered as I felt cringed.
"Everyone remaining, I congratulate you on passing," he said.
at least my plan worked and I can use this to get this test over with.
I looked at the corner of the room and saw Scáthach near the window. when suddenly a girl jumped through the window.
I was paying half attention to the test and was watching Scáthach walk around Anko as if studying her.
we followed her towards the forest of death, and I wondered whether or not they got my warning.
anyways now it's time to head in. I started getting excited until I saw Scáthach reading her icha icha paradise book while studying Anko still.
'it's going to be a long day,' I thought.
