Team Naruto could hear people getting called out and soon quite a few of them were disqualified from their failing to cheat properly and all their scores being deducted. It has only been two minutes into the examination. I should try this jutsu that sensei taught me because of my bloodline. Hakura thought as she clenched her pen carefully to make a discret hand sign. 'Can you guys hear me?' Hakura asked mentally. She saw the tiny jerk from her teammates but they answered her. 'Good, now. This scoring system is about prioritising and cheating properly. We need to be careful about in which order we do the questions and how much time we spend on it.' Hakura said slowly to make sure her team mates understood her. 'Hai.'
'Now... Let's do this. We'll discuss together.'
*******
Soon team Naruto figured out in which order they should do the questions and finished the questions easily. "Alright! For the tenth question, but first you have to decide whether you want to take it or not. If you don't, the rest of your time fails with you and you guy can leave after your team's numbers are recorded down. But if you do take the risk and don't answer this last question correctly, you'll never be able to take the chuunin examination ever again." Ibiki said with an emotionless face. Burst of exclamations exploded through the room. "Shut up!"
That shocked them which made them all shut their mouths to listen. "So who's going?" He asked with a slight smirk. Many raised their hands.
Ibiki noticed that three particular students weren't fazed by the question, in fact they were so relax they were smirking, looking like they are calculating how many teams are left and their success rate. "Anymore? No? This is the end of the examination. You all pass!" He boomed. "What?!"
"You could say the two choices were your questions. When you guys are real ninjas it is crucial you guys go all out to do missions, suicide or not. It's a ninjas' way to be loyal to their own country. You must almost make the right decisions, that's what the paper is for. You must prioritise your things and spend the correct amount of time on each."
He saw how suddenly all three of their attentions all snap to the window. He too turned to see what they were looking for and saw a brick coming towards the window followed by smoke bombs and someone jumping in. "Hello! I'm Mitarashi Anko! I'm your proctor for the second examination! 60 of them? Ibiki you left 20 teams? No matter! I'll reduce that number by half in no time!" she said evilly. "Now. Follow me to begin your second examination!" She yelled and jumped out of the window.
"This! Is called the Forest of Death!" Anko went through the rules and what they were meant to do. It's simple actually each team gets either a heaven scroll or an earth scroll. Once you have obtained both scrolls you head to the central tower. You only have five days to complete it. "So only 10 teams or lesser can succeed." Akara said quietly to his team once they got their scroll -Earth- and headed to their gate to wait for the start signal. "Should we finish this quickly or should we have some fun?" Katsu asked, bored. The two Konoha shinobi observed their group conversation. "I say we finish this quickly. I'm very very very hungry." Akara said. "You're always hungry!" Hakura and Katsu yelled. "I wanna eat that ramen Naruto sensei brought us to." Akara whined as he was still in his planking position. "I'm surprised you aren't overweight." Katsu said. "He does a lot of intense exercises. Look even when resting, he is still exercising." Hakura said. "Huh? What do you mean?" They stared at him. Is he really that dense?
"Look at yourself, you were planking just now, now you just did back bend and is still staying in the bridge position, holding your ankles." Akara blinked and looked at the position he is in. "Oops. Bad habit."
"It's a good habit. Good exercise."
"Right."
Then they heard the shrill of the bell. They strolled in slowly which confuses the Shinobis who opened their gates. Don't they want as much time as possible?
"Hand over your scrolls and we won't hurt you." A cocky Konoha kunoichi said. "Protect me, Akara-kun Katsu-kun!" Hakura squeaked as she dove behind them. They knew what she was planning. Hakura did a hand sign and the fun began. They watched as the Konoha shinobi screamed and swatted at the air. Katsu went over and took the group's scroll. Heaven scroll, great! "Let's go." Akara said and they took off at lightning speed towards the central tower after Hakura released her genjutsu.
They opened up the scroll and which shocked the proctor that appeared, Anko. "What?! You guys finished?! What?!!!!" She asked in confusion, she checked the clock. It has only been five minutes into the examination. "Its suppose to last for five day!"
"Lol. Not in our case, Anko-San." Akara said. "Your guys are good! Who's your sensei?!" She asked excitedly as they walked to where they can have their names recorded down and they can rest until everyone else comes. They didn't answer since they saw their Kazekage and the hokage. "Kazekage-sama, hokage-sama." They all greeted. Both Kages were surprised to see Team Naruto had already finished. "So who's your sensei?" Anko asked again. "Naruto is their sensei." Tsunade said. "Naruto? As in Uzumaki Naruto?" Anko asked. They nodded. "Where's sensei?" Hakura asked, directing the question at Gaara. "He's on a mission."
A breeze and a flash of yellow beside them either scared or slightly shocked them. "Sensei!" The genins shouted before jumping on him. Naruto dodged in reflex and had his students down on the ground in a snap. "Just because you guys finished fast doesn't mean you should be smug about that." Naruto lectured as he helped his students up. "Sorry. We were just excited to see you." Akara admitted. "Awww. I'm touched." Naruto said, touching his chest and batting his eyelashes. Anko resembles a tomato and she looks like she's about to faint and get a nosebleed from Naruto's hotness. "Gaara." Naruto said and handed the said man a scroll. "They're half dead by the way."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm think you might wanna interrogate them so they are paralysed and I kinda might have beaten the crap out of them."
"Right sensei, you didn't beat the crap out of the others you have to capture." Akara said. "I don't." Naruto replied, looking straight at his students. "Then why did you-" anko asked but was interrupted by Hakura. "But they insulted your loved ones." She said with realisation. They all knew how protective he was towards his loved ones or his comrades, and especially them -his students-. Naruto nodded. "Now, kids, let's go. I'll treat you guys-"
"Yassssss!!! Food!!!" Akara screamed in excitement and was about to take off if Naruto didn't pull on the back of his shirt to get him back. "Let me finish."
"Sorry." Akara said sheepishly. "As I was saying, I'll treat you guys then we train. Is that a deal?"
"Hai!!" They all chorused. The jonins, chuunins and Kages present all smiled. Naruto has his way with his students. They easily obeyed him. He also has a lot of jutsu up his sleeve. "Hakura, good job."
"For what sensei?" They heard them say as they watch Team Naruto walk away. "You mastered a communication jutsu I taught you."
"Hai. Thank you sensei."
I feel so.... So at ease around him. So happy. Thank you sensei.
