NARUTO
Its time to begin. Im Ibiki Morino, your proctor. And from this moment...
...your worst enemy.
Many in the crowd of genin were speechless and nervously uttering things to themselves in the face of
their intimidating proctor.

First, you candidates from the Village Hidden in the Sound: Knock it off! he yelled, pointing at them.
Who told you you could fight?! Do you wanna be failed before weve even begun?!!
Zaku looked over at Hinata. She was smirking with closed eyes, not really trying to hide her arrogant
chuckling at him.
(Grrr)
Shouldve listened.
(
little brat.
heh,its all good.Ill make her pay, later.)
Haidiots.Kin murmured.
Dosu turned around, along with Zaku. Both of them were now grinning.
Sorry. said Dosu, jokingly. Its our first time.
Guess were a little jumpy
sir.

Suddenly, Ibiki noticed who Zaku was in the middle of confronting.
(Soits her. Shes deciding to participate at last.
finally.)
Hmph. the proctor smiled, staring at Hinata.
The Hyga childnoticed, of course, and nodded backobviously certain of herself.
Ibiki resumed: Ill say this once, so listen up: There will be no combat between candidates; no attacking
each other without the permission of your proctor, and even then, the use of fatal force isstrictly
prohibited!
Anyone who even thinksof messing with me will be disqualified immediately.
Got it?
The genin silently looked at the chnin before them, and especially at their proctor.
Hmph! Zaku suddenly smirked.No fatal force? Thats no fun.
The chnin lightly laughed among themselves, but Ibiki stood firmly.
Now, if were ready: Well proceed to the first stage of the Chnin Exam.

Hand over your paperwork. In return, youll each be given a number. This number determines where
you will sit. Well start the written test once youre all seated.
The what? Naruto worriedly murmured. did he say
Kabuto and Sakura looked at him, concerned.
written?
The chnin, Kotetsu, got the huge stack ready, grinning at the unfortunate students.
NOOOOO!!!!
The idiot fell to his knees.
NOT A WRITTEN TEST!!!! NO WAAAAYYYY!!!!!!
Start Your Engines: The Chnin Exam Begins!
Just about all of the genin and chnin uncomfortably looked at the weird kid who was making a fool
of himself.
The rest of his squad definitely was.
(Melodramatic...... / Melodramatic......)

All of the hundred or (probably) more genin were seated in a large classroom that was near the
Academys edge. Many long, glass windows lined up the left side of the room and let sunlight in,
brightening the entire place.
There were twelve rows of wide, wooden desks, in three columns, making for a total of 36 desks.
Because each student was organized in a perfect row, there were four students to a desk: just enough
space for each student. In total, there were around 144 genin present in the room. Accompanying them
was the chnin team from earlier. They had their own seats, and one chnin was seated in front of each
window. In each of their hands were black clipboards and green pencils.
The genin stared at either their tests or the board.
...well, most of them.
(Ahhhh...I dont even know where the others are sitting!) the #53 genin complained to himself. (Im all
alone!
Agghh!!
This is already a disaster!!!)
Naruto, feeling the pressure, put his hands against his head and his elbows on the desk, groaning.
(Hmph. Tough luck for Naruto!)thought Sakura. (Written exams are definitely not his strong point!)
Like a jerk, she tittered at him.
Ughhh...
...
(Wait...
...
-

7/38
...is that...)
...Hinata?
...
The kunoichi didnt hear Narutos voice. Her eyes were closed and she was leaning back, apparently
contemplating things other than this exam.
Hinata. he called louder.
It worked. She reluctantly opened her eyes and turned her head to the boy.
Yes? she asked.
...
Umm...would it beall right if...
You want to copy off of me?
...well, yes...
No.
...
Come on! Why do you have to be so mean? What did I ever do to you?I think youre amazing Hinata.
Totally amazing. A genius like you letting someone like me cheat for just a few seconds......it couldnt be
that bad, could it?
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
8/38
What are you whining on about? I wouldnt let anyone look at my paper if they begged for it.
You need to show some skill as a ninja. Sycophants have no place being in this room.
...
But
Just...
...shut up.
...
Naruto continued: Okay, fine! I dont need your help! I said I could get through this easy and beat
everyone! And that means you, too.
...well, at best, youre at laststarting to understand.
...
Hm hm! the boy giggled.
Hinata smiled back.
Everyone, eyes front!shouted Ibiki.
There are few rules you need to be aware of.
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
9/38
...
And I wontanswer any questions. So, you better pay attention the first time around.
(No questions?) wondered a confused and agape Sakura. (What kind of rules are these?)
Ibiki began to explain to the class as he wrote the rules on a blackboard at the front, in chalk.
All right, Rule Number One is this: The written part of the exam is conducted...on a point reduction
system.
Contrary to what some of you may be used to, you all begin the test with a perfect score of 10 points.
One point will be deducted for each answer you get wrong. So, if you miss three, your final score will be
seven.
(He should really tell us what grading system hes using....) Naruto thought.
He stopped writing and spoke his last words to the class. The words written on the board essentially
summarized what he said.
Rule Number Two: Teams will pass or fail based on the total scores of all three members.
The room froze. Almost no one could believe what the proctor had just told them. Some of the genin
openly expressed their disbelief.
What?
Ah?!
No way....
Only a few in the room werent shocked by this news. And only three teams as a whole seemed fine: the
Sand Genin, Sound Genin, and Team 8.
-

10/38
Sakura was mad as hell. She head-desked, then shot one of those veteran-genin death glares at Ibiki.
Grrrrrrr......
What??!! Wait a second!! she yelled out. Youre saying we all get scoredas a TEAM??!!
Silence! said Ibiki, standing calm. 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 genin looked over to their lefts and rights, to find that the Chnin Exams team members were
staring at them.
And for every incident they spot, they will subtract two points from the culprits score.
What? said a genin next to Sakura, wearing tacky pink and brown clothing.
Huh? was the kunoichis own expression of surprise.
Be warned: Their eyes are extremely sharp.
Not as sharp as my byakugan. uttered Neji, trollfully.
...and......
...if they catch you five times, youll be dismissed before the tests are even scored.
(Sheesh!) Sakura frowned.(They make it so theres all sorts of ways you can lose points! And even more,
you can still get negative pointsif you get caught below five times and score at least under two.
Anyone fool enough to be caught cheating by the sentinels doesnt deserveto be here.

Kotetsu stared past his clipboard, smirking at a few genin who happened to be sitting nearby.
Ive got my eye on you guys.
Some of the surprised genin gasped, while some werent too intimidated, really. (I wouldnt have been.
Id never cheat. Its just not right. I haventcheated on a test since, like, kindergarten.)
If you wanna be considered shinobi...then show us...what exceptional shinobi you can be.
Sakura was worrying about this exam, now, because of all of the conditions given. She looked at her
desk, with clasped hands up to her face, trying to think out a plan.
(Damn, and Naruto was throwing afit,earlier. He wasnt too good at written exams, from what I
remember, but he wasnt terrible, either. Hes probably just nervous, I hope....
Argh, if only we didnt need to be a complete team for this part...but I sort of get his point.
Its got me nervous....
...
...okay, okay: relax. I know Ill do all right. Andand Sasuke should be fine.
We just gotta avoid getting a low score as a total. Meaning even if Naruto gets a zero, ifif we do well
enough, we should survive this.)
One more thing: If any candidate should get a zero and fail the test, then the entire team fails.
Sakura let her head drop onto the desk. The entire class could hear it loud and clear.
(...fuck my life....)
-

Sasuke was simply shaking his head and smiling in disbelief.
(Naruto...
...youll never stop screwing us over, will you?)
Naruto knew he was simply magnifishit at these kinds of tests compared to hands-on things,
so...suddenly he got a bada terribly, awfully, bad feeling in his stomach.
...
He clutched it in sick pain, gulping in sick fear.
(Ah...theyre gonna kill me!!)
The boy looked as if he was...costive.
Hinata noticed his actions and turned to him, saying: You know, if its that bad for you, there is a
bathroom right down the hall. Just ask for permission and you can go.
Ughhh...
...
(...whatever.)
The final question wont be given out until 15 minutes before the end of the testing period.
That statement got Naruto out of his sulking. He now knew he had no time to.
Youll have one hour total.
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
13/38
Right when the clock hit 3:30, it was time to start.
Begin! shouted Ibiki.
Immediately, a good deal of the genin started writing whatever they though was best; the rest were still
examining their tests and trying to figure them out.
---
(Okay, focus, Sakura,focus.
This is where you show you stuff....)
The kunoichi looked up at her teammates progress. He was only staring at the paper, not really reading
anything....
(Just dont blow it, Naruto! Get at least one of the right...!!)
---
Sasuke, who sat three rows behind him, looked across the students to see his progress. Clearly,
compared to all of the genin near him, Naruto was doing the worst, still not even reading his exam sheet.
Tch.
(Oh man....
This doesnt look good....
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
14/38
Hes just sitting there: hes gonna choke!)
---
Naruto stared at the test for a little longer, and then slyly used the corners of his vision to see how well
everyone else seemed to be doing. Up close, however, he couldntsee anybodys actual paper. The
genin kid on his left; Hinata: They had both blocked theirs with their arms.
Seeing that he was the only one not doing anything, he put his hands on his head, hopelessly confused.
(Heh huh...heh heh...) Naruto inwardly chuckled, forcing a wide and toothy smile.
(...what am I worried about? Its just a test; Ive done a lot harder things...believe it!
All Ive gotta do is just relax and take my time. Read through all the questions, and find the ones I have a
chance of answering. No pressure.)
Naruto felt a little bit more confident, now, as he took the paper and smiled, looking at it...finally.
Chnin Selection Exam (1st Test)
(Amusingly, there was English written on the right side of the test...
...then again, everyone here spoke English...
...didnt they?)
The first question was a bunch of random kanji. It asked to decipher it and explain their answer.
(Okay...number one.
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
15/38
...oh, I see! Gotta decipher a code...!
Okay......mmhm!
...
Yeah, I get it, now! This one isnt too hard!
Heh heh heh!!
...now, lets see. Every 16th then 19th word is included. All of the other words are taken out...)
Heh, so thats what it says.
Well, at least Ive got one down....
...I wont get a zero, but I still dont know what passing is. I might need to answer more.
---
Meanwhile, Sasuke had finished the first question a minute earlier than Naruto, and was looking at a
diagram that showed...well, fuck it, I cant read Japanese.
(Or can I, and am I just lazy...?)
This diagram, ah forget it.
Sasuke was having even more trouble than I was at understanding this problem.... (I knew the answer.)
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
16/38
(Line B in the diagram indicates the trajectory of a shuriken thrown at enemy C by ninja A, seated atop a
tree seven meters tall. 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...!)
The genin stared at the question in disbelief....
...well, at least he got one, so far.
---
Sakura was struggling a bit, too. She stared at the 7th question: half-trying to figure it out, half-
procrastinating by thinking about Narutos poor test-taking:
(Ugh, these are integrated problems based on principles of uncertainty, and requiring complex
mechanical energy analysis! Incredibly advanced stuff...!
Naruto cant solve these! He hasnt got a chance!
In fact, there cant be more than a handful of people here besides me who even understand it!!
---
True enough, almost everyone in the room was completely baffled.
Naruto, however, had just finished the second problem, and was now on the third.
***
He had no clue what it was talking about.
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
17/38
(Hmm!
Oookay! Skip that one!
Next!)
Sakura moved on to number 8, which she found too hard to answer.
(Each problems more difficult than the one before!)
Now, Naruto was on Number 4:
***
Now he really knew that this test wasnt right.
(Mmmm...
...mmhm...
...
...what the.........fuck???
WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS ARE THESE??!! DO THEY EVENEXPECT US TO ANSWER THEM????!!!!)
Naruto groaned as he painfully held his sore head. This test was kicking his ass, all right, and it was only
the first stage, too.
---
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
18/38
Sasuke struggled just the same.
(Hm hm...
...well thats interesting.) Sasuke chuckled as he looked at number 4 and onward. (I cant begin to
understand a single one of these problems.)
---
(At this rate, Ill let Sakura and Sasuke down!!
What am I gonna do?! Whatll I do??!
Whatll Ido??! Whatll I do??!!WHATLL I DO????!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!)
Naruto kept groaning in frustration, nearly sobbing.
It annoyed Hinata who finished the test about 10 minutes ago, and had been resting her eyes until now.
Frustrated, she glanced at him, wondering when hed shut up.
---
Sakura couldnt grasp many of these last questions. She held her head and tried to assure herself,
thinking: (I need a high score if were gonna have a chance.
...this is so hard....
...ngh, Im almost temped to...no, I cant do that!
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
19/38
...ugh...ngh, its almost like theyre...uh, like theyre trying to get us to cheat!
I just hope Naruto and Sasuke dont fall for it!
...
No.... They wouldnt; no way! Not even Narutos that much of a dumbbell......right?)
---
By now, Naruto had stopped his sounds and tried thinking a bit more rationally, again.
(Ookay! Dont panic; dont panic! Theres only one thing to do:
Ill just have to cheat and not get caught!!)
Ibiki walked down the front of the class and looked at Naruto.
...
O_O;
...
(...andNOT get caught!!!!)
---
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
20/38
(Its strange....)thought Sasuke while he looked at the chnin near him. (They make more of a fuss about
cheating than they do about the test itself.
These sentinels...watching our every move...trying to catch one)
A sentinel wrote something on his clipboard, just then.
(Somebody just got nailed. -_-
Thats another thing: Why only a two point deduction?
Doesnt make sense...!
Ordinarily, if someones caught cheating even once, thats grounds for dismissal right there!
...
Ah!
[Anyone fool enough to be caught cheating by the sentinels doesnt deserve to be here.
Show us...what exceptional shinobi you can be.]
Hah! So thats it!
...yeah: Thats gotta be it!
This is about more than the written exam. The realaim is not to test our knowledge, but our ability to
gather information!)
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
21/38
---
Lee stared at the proctor, understanding, as well.
---
So did Gaara. He looked at Ibiki, arms crossed.
---
And Kiba, too.
Huh. he noticed.
---
(Yeah, that explains everything!
The eagle-eyed sentinels everywhere; these incredibly difficult questions; the fact that only two points
are deducted for each incident of cheating!
Very clever....
A ninja must see through deception! Hes not actually forbidding us from cheating; hes expecting us to!
Hes daring us to try and cheat, and not get caught!
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
22/38
Only exceptional shinobi can get away with it, under these circumstances. And thats just what hes
looking for. I wonder how many of the others have realized thats what this test is all about?
Come on, Naruto! You can figure it out!
Use your head before its too late! Use your head!!)
Little did he know, Naruto was debating whether he actually should cheat or not. Only two people next
to him had any of the answersone was close to the sentinels.
The other......
(Damn it, damn it, damn this test...!!!!)
---
(Okay...) Sasuke continued, scanning around. (...so if therealtest here is finding a way to steal theanswers without getting caught...
...the next question is...
...to figure out whos got all the answers.)
---
Gradually, sand began to form around Gaaras arm.
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
23/38
From across the room, Kankuro spotted him.
(Huh...
...looks like Gaaras figured it out.
Okay crow...
...Im counting on you.)
It seems a certain sentinel wasnt who it appeared to be. The mans eyes were entirely white, and it
made him suspicious, looking...but then, he searched for students out of his designated group, almost as
if he was searching for answers.
---
Akamaru who was on Kibas head, as always, looked around, and then yipped in the shinobis ear.
---
As some smart kid wrote down his original answers, the sound ninja, Dosu, used some hax ability that
didnt make any sense.
Whatever, it got him the answers, as he somehow copied the other ninja.
(Judging from the rhythm......the duration and the frequency of the strokes......
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
24/38
...yeess, I see.)
---
A fly flew on some persons desk and it watched him write his answers until it was shooed.
And afterwards, it flew to and landed on Shino, the bug freaks, finger.
Well? Show me.
The fly flew in a figure eight, which was the answer.
Eight. Of course...!
---
Tenten attached strings to her pencil to kunai that were slit inside of a light fixture. Mirrors with two
holes on one side allowed the handles of the kunai to be inserted through them, reflecting Shinos paper.
Only two questions of his werent finished.
Before entering the room, since Neji was perfectly capable of doing this exam, she said to her less
capable, other teammate: Lee: When you can see it, adjust your headband.
As Tenten moved the strings, the glare of the mirrors went away, and he could when he looked up. He
adjusted his headband, accordingly.
---
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
25/38
It was now 3:30 PM (of course). Narutos head was on the desk, and he was grabbing his head, trying to
decide whether he should cheat or not.
The one person who had finished and wasnt guarding their paper had harshly criticized him for even
asking for her answers. If she caught him cheating...would she tell on him? Hed become a target of the
sentinels after thathed never be able to complete the test, then!
(Tick! Tick! Tick!
Oh man! They couldnt have a digital clock?!
AAHHH!! Times running out!
...
That does it! Ive got no choice! I GOTTA cheat!!
Hang on: II cant do that! What if I get caught?! What are Sakura and Sasuke gonna think??
...
On the other hand...if I dont get any of these right, Im sunk! And I take them down with me!
Either way,Im dead meat!!)
...
Hinata was still lying back in her seat, totally out of the tests tense atmosphere. Her eyes were closed,
so she would not have seen Naruto if he was shrewd with his cheating.
Not only were her eyes closed, her hands werent over the paper. She rested peacefully with her arms
behind her head.
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
26/38
...
Naruto stared at her, using his peripheral vision, watching to see if she would show something to reveal
she was aware all along.
...but her light breathing and stillness reveal just the opposite.
(Its my only chance.)
He carefully looked at the perfectly exposed exam...
...it was a beautiful goldmine of information!!
...
(This is...amazing!! Shes got everything!! EVERTHING!!!!
MY MARVELOUS HINATA!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!)
...
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
27/38
Narutos eyes were watering up, just as he finished copying the last of Hinatas answers. He was crying
at how awe-striking his love was.
But finally, he did finish his test.
Hm hm hm!
Just then, a chnin threw a kunai flew right between the both of them!!
Aahh!!
It cut through the desk and exam of one of the genin who sat behind Hinata, missing her head by less
than an inch.
Some of the genin gasped when they saw what Koutetsu did. The genin who was targeted couldnt help
but whimper at the surprise almost being hit, and Naruto, breathing heavily, was even more shocked....
(Whoa! Hhow did they know?! I hadnt even done anything, yet!!)
Naruto thought it was him, and Koutestu stood up, ready to dismiss the failed ninja.
What the...what was that all about? the genin behind Naruto and Hinata questioned.
Five strikes and youre out.
You just failed the test.
What??!
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
28/38
It cant be.... the genins eyes fell, full of sorrow.He had been looking at Hinatas paper from behind,
the entire time. Sloppily cheating, too.
You and your teammatesll leave the room immediately. Koutetsu smirked, pointing at the noob.
His indignant teammates stood up with their heads down, unwilling to even look at their idiot
companion.
Both he and Naruto were still gasping in fear until the failed ninja finally manned up and left in utter
shame.
The noise roused Hinata, at last; her eyes had been closed the entire time.
She turned to Naruto, now, who was still surprisingly looking at Koutetsu.
So, did you find what you were looking for?
Naruto realized what was happeninghehad double-shock.
Ah! You
Heh.
...
As Hinata looked over at the time, the baffled Naruto stared at the ground.
...
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
29/38
(...she...let me, after all......)
...
Candidate number 23: failed.
Dhuh? Naruto gasped.
Number 27 and 43: failed!
Two chnin dragged yet another squirming kid out of the room.
Iits not fair! I didnt do anything! I didnt do anything!
---
No! an older veteran protested, slamming his hand on the desk. No way! Who says I cheated five
times?! Wheres your proof?!! How can you keep track of all of us?! Youve got the wrong guy!!How do
you know I wasnt just
The chnin who called the kid out somehow slammed his neck against a wall, with one armdespite the
fact that he was in the middle of the class, surrounded by desks, chairs, and other genin. Peculiarly, the
mans head was almost entirely wrapped in bandages: only from his nose down wasnt covered. And
even more, his head protector was worn over his eyes.
Sorry pal. the smirking ninja said the kid he had up against the wall. We were chosen for this duty
because we dont make mistakes like that. You cant even blink without us seeing it. Were the best of
the best, and you, my friend, are history.
Taking his arm off the genin, he left the hurt boy slump to the floor.
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
30/38
Now get out. And take your teammates with you.
Most of the class of genin timidly viewed this scene as the testing time neared its end. Many of them
gasped in disbelief.
(If that chnin can reallyevensee anyonescheating, hes definitely trolling that kid with his stupid-ass
headgear....) Hinata remarked as she turned back to the clock.
---
Dosu sighed after witnessing this scene. He faced the front again, preparing for the last question.
(Knowing Kin and Zaku, theyre probably having a good time with that one, right now....
*sigh*)
---
(Hm.) Kin chuckled. (I wasnt aware that your cousin was a chnin,Dosu....)
...
(Heh, look who it is: The guy Dosu wishes he could b@.) Zaku snickered under his arms.
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
31/38
---
Sakura wasnt playing anymore. She had already finished number 8...but...
...but that perfect score wasnt looking to be in her reach: number 9 was just too difficult for her....
The kunoichi stared at it, still...hoping for a miracle of some sort.
---
Neji wasnt playing, either. Having done the first column of questions, he was right at number 6but he
recalled that there was another Hyga who had long since finished the exam.
...
(Byakugan!)
The Will of Fire burned within him. He was going to top Hinataand it would start here.
His pupils became sharper and dilated, along with his irises; the veins around his eyes instantly stood
out...but most importantly...with this kekkei genkai of his...
...he concentrated his vision throughHinatas body and directly onto her exam sheet, seeing everything.
---
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
32/38
(Sharingan!)
The red iris, ring and tomoe of the doujutsu formed in Sasukes eyes.
Seeing an oblivious ninja who knew the answers, he thought to himself: (Ill try imitating the
movements of his pen.)
Sure enough, Sasukes hand movements immediately began to match an oblivious ninja who had the
answers.
(Hm heh heh heh: Bingo.
I hit the jackpot with this guy.)
---
Sakura still couldnt figure out that last problem.... She was clutching at her head with the most
agonizing frustration.
...
Ino witnessed her struggling and frustration, wishing she could help.
But she herself had only answered six of the nine.
...however...
(It seems Sakuras having trouble with finishing this exam.
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
33/38
...its strange: Ive answered the last question, but Id like just a little bit more done before I share my
answers with my team.
...
I wouldnt want to do this, Sakura...but it could only help us both. It seems as if youdont have the last
answer...but you do have all of the other answers....
...Imsure...if you knew what I was gonna do...you wouldnt mind.
...dont worry: Itll help both of us out....)
...
Ino made the Ram hand-seal that would begin her move.
Afterwards, she cupped her hands across in a way that formed another handseal specific to hertechnique.
Pointing her open hands at the unaware girl, she readied her technique.
(Mind Transfer Jutsu!)
A flash of blue energy shot straight into Sakuras backand both girls collapsed in their seats!
---
-
8/13/2019 Naruto PTS24
34/38
Shikamaru, too lazy to even try to answer anything, looked past a row of working genin. Seeing that
both girls were out, he understood
(So...Inos got her jutsu working, I see.
About time.)
---
(Way to go!) thought Chouji from the other side of the room. (Putting that brainiac to work for us!)
---
Suddenly, Sakura came to. Her expression wasnt any more serious or happy than before. In fact, she
looked less happy....
The kunoichi began to write down the answer to the ninth question on the test: her last problem.
(This should help you out....) Ino thought while inside of Sakuras body. Her conscience and mind had
taken over Sakuras, giving her complete control over the girl.
She looked at Sakuras answersthe whole time, planning to use them, so that her teammates could
finish their tests, too, with the right answers.

Number 59, you fail! said a sitting, smirking chnin.
Numbers 33 and 9: fail!
(Thats the 15th team to be eliminated....) Kabuto noticed, looking up.
Number 41: Fail!
Numbers 35 and 62: Fail!
Hey! No way! one of the noobs said.
He was promptly beaten up.

Gaara ignored all of the commotion. He was calmly holding a one-handed Ram seal with his right handand his left was out against the desk, sand flowing around it.
As Ibiki watched this class, that one kid stood out in particular.
(Look at this one......
...cool as a cucumber...
...stays focused as if nothing was happening....)
He smirked.
(Not bad for a novice.)

Hmph.)
...
A ball of sand began to form in Gaaras left hand. His right hands index and middle fingersheld his left
eye close.
(The 3rd eye. Invisibly connected to the optic nerve.)
His sand manifested into a brown eyeball in his hand.
In closing his hand, he dispersed the sand makeup of this eye.
---
The particles scattered and covertly spread out directly in front of a boy who was smugly writing
something in his answer box.
Once the sand got in his eyes...
Ow!
(Ow! Theres something in my eye!)
He rubbed his eyes as the eyeball completely manifested above the test paper and looked over its
contents.

From his chair, Gaara could see all of the other ninjas answers. He let the eyeball disseminate and
began to write them down.
---
Uhh, scuse me! Kankuro said to one of the sentinels.
What is it?the man replied. He sounded angry.
Gotta use the can, sorry. he smiled.
The sentinels handcuffed the sand ninja to a rope leash tied around the cloth on his back, telling him:We go with you to make sure youre not up to anything.
Thats perfectly understandable. he replied, still smiling.
As he was led away, Gaara glanced back at him.
---
Kankuro used the bathroom, talking to the guard who kept him tied from behind a wall.
Ah, securitys pretty tight around here.

But these sentinels are quite as eagle-eyed as everybody thinks.
After all: They havent even noticed that theres one more sentinel than there used to be...
...right, crow?
Some of sentinels face was chipping apart, out of what looked like a sandy shell that made up the
sentinels fake appearance, revealing a metallic interior.

It was now 4:10.
(In five minutes, theyll give out the tenth question....) Naruto thought. Thats what it comes down to!
Im almost done! I can make it past this! Believe it!!)
