Chapter 10: Academy Entrance Test II

After fifteen minutes waiting on the line, It was finally our turn to fill the papers, it had generic questions, like name, birthday, age, emergency contact, blood type, allergies or chronic diseases, I noticed that some information was filled beforehand, the course you were testing for and the date, it wasn't much but made things swifter.

Beyond this point, parents weren't allowed, I gave a goodbye kiss to my mom, and made my way beyond the gates, with my registration paper in hand I made my way to the main entrance of the building, once again kids were being split according to their ages and courses, a ninja approached me, took my paper and guided me to my line, now I could see all members of the Rookie nine.

"KENJI!" Naruto shouted, in the past year, we become close friends, he comes to sleep at my house at least two or three times each week, I tried other kids to get close to him, but I was unsuccessful.

"Naruto, you don't have to shout every time you see me, or maybe you are planning to make me deft, so I can't become a ninja?" I joked, but Naruto was either too innocent or too dumb to catch it, he panicked looking for a way to apologize. "Calm down, I'm joking, after all this time, you still fall for the easy ones" I comforted him.

"But you sound serious when you say those things" He replied, we spent a few minutes making small talk until a female ninja indicated the group to follow her, she took us to one of the classrooms that was assigned for the test, there was enough space for twenty-five children to take the test without worrying about them cheating or copying the answers from one another, we were assigned numbers and everyone took a sit.

"Good morning kids, my name is Mizuki, and I'll be the proctor for this test, you are not allowed to speak to each other once the test begins, if you are caught cheating or copying the answers of other, you will be removed from the classroom and your test will be invalid, in other words if you are caught cheating you get an automatic fail, I hope everyone understands these simple rules, now my assistants will give you your sheets" she explained to us, most of the civilians were nervous, but those with a ninja background, myself included were calm, Naruto was calm for other reasons, he was just arrogant.

"Really a mission? I haven't got one in a year, and you decide this is the right moment? At least the rewards should be better, guess every single bit helps" I sighed in defeat, the System isn't omnipotent, it just helps me to shape my future according to my wishes, even if I'm not aware of them, and keeps track of my abilities.

The clock was ticking, I analyzed the room, searching for the only one in this room that couldn't a knowledge test besides me, the one and only Shikamaru, he was three rows away from me, I could sneak around without the proctor or her assistant noticing, I didn't have Ninjutsu or Genjutsu available, and even if I had, they will notice me using Chakra to cheat, that left me with one option, Illusions.

If I made a Mental Illusion, I'll be risking them noticing the flaws and the other kids could tell them I was sneaking around, and Environment Illusion was my best choice, but if I wasn't careful, they could notice my presence when moving around the classroom, a Real Illusion was my best choice, but the amount of mental energy was greater, so I had to be quick, with that in mind I formulated a Plan and executed it.

First, I created a Real Environment Illusion of me, still sitting on my place, then I used a Mental Illusion to make the real me disappear from everyone senses, including the kids, then I quietly made my way towards Shikamaru, and copied five of his answers, I thought I was safe, when one of the assistants walked at my direction while I was writing the last of Shikamaru's answers, I froze in place, and stopped breathing, ready to be taken out of the classroom, but the assistant passed next to me ignoring my presence, I went back to my place, before I ran out of luck, sitting again I synchronized the Illusion with my movements and position, and dropped all of my Illusions at the same time.

No one noticed the changes that I provoked, but Mizuki the proctor seemed surprised by something, maybe she found one of the flaws on my Illusion, but the lack of Chakra made it difficult for anyone to notice if there was a change made by Genjutsu, in other words even if she felt something was off, she couldn't find a proof, and therefore she couldn't find a culprit to be punished.

I took my time with the rest of the answers, thirty minutes to be precise, the test had a hundred questions, thirty for literacy, thirty for geometry, and forty for math, everything was basic level, nothing beyond second grade, there were some kids having issues with the test, most of them civilians, Naruto, Kiba, and Choji were having issues as well, guess is my time to leave, I raised my hand to get the attention of the proctor or one of her assistants, to my surprise the proctor herself walked to me.

"Do you need anything? Is there something you don't understand?" she asked with a smile, guess she just put a mean face as part of the test, I noticed Shikamaru, Sakura, Saske and Ino glancing at my direction, is normal after all they are supposed to be the smartest among the Rookie nine.

"No, I'm done, should I wait until the time is over or can I wait outside for the results?" I said with confidence, Mizuki took my sheet, and told me it was okay for me to wait outside, but I had to be nearby to the classroom because she will put the result on the noticeboard next to the door, I nodded my head and stood up, still feeling the looks up the others on my back, I made a victory sign with my hand to them before exiting the classroom.


CREATORS' THOUGHTS
Duskstar Duskstar

I want Kenji to have a Water Nature Chakra, but still working two things about that:

1. What should his Second and (maybe) Third Nature be?

2. Should we give him a Kekkei Genkai that is not related to his Genjutsu? I.E. Storm, Scorch, Ice, Boil, Lava.

I'll be reading the comments of this chapter to see what you guys think, and your suggestions for a Kekkei Genkai even if it is homebrewed.

And like always with love, the author
