Only fifteen minutes had gone by since the first part of the exam has started. Everyone for the most part was focused on taking the exam. Then there was poor old Naruto. He was banging his head on the table because he was screwed. His brother, who was laying his head on the table, just laughed at him. Raikou was done writing. He turned his test over and was trying to sleep. Naruto paid his brother no more attention. Raikou was not going to bail him out of this. Finally, Naruto was going to attempt the test.

Naruto thoughts: Okay it's fine, just answers the ones I know. Let's try number one. Okay not one, let's go on. 'That went on all the way to question nine.' Okay, I'm screwed.

Another fifteen minutes has passed. It seems like everyone but Naruto has discovered the purpose of the test. As people were using their different abilities to cheat. Shino was using his bugs to gather the intel. Ino was using her mind transfer Jutsu. The sound ninja was hearing the writing of the pencil.

Hinata: N-Naruto?

Naruto at first didn't answer, he just kept his head down in shame. After a few seconds he finally looked at Hinata.

Naruto: Yes?

Hinata: I-If you w-w-would l-like t-t-to copy o-off m-me y-you c-c-can

Naruto was so relieved. He was saved. He wouldn't lose to his brother. He would have to thank Hinata later. Wait, if he couldn't let Hinata get in trouble for him. She is the sweetest and the nicest. Naruto realized he hadn't answered Hinata, too embarrassed so he just shook his head.

Hinata: Y-you s-sure?

Naruto: Yes, 'grabs her hand' thank you though. I want to pass on my own, plus, I don't want you to get in trouble because of me.

Hinata thoughts: He doesn't want me to get in trouble, he is the best and he held my hand.

Once she remembered that, Hinata's face got all red. She had to control her breather, thanks to all her years of training that she didn't pass out. She couldn't believe that Naruto would do that. Maybe he is starting to recognize her. She was broken from her thoughts when someone from the Sand Village asked to use the rest room.

The room was starting to feel anxious. In a few minutes, the tenth question would be revealed. More people were called out for cheating. Quite a few squads have been booted for reaching the cheating limit.

Ibiki: Alright! Time for the tenth question!

Naruto started to sweat, he was banking on this last question. While others, like Sasuke, thought Ibiki was being dramatic and making such a big deal about the last question.

Ibiki: But, before that, there are some rules for the last question. 'Before he could go on, Konkuro came back.' Well aren't you just lucky. it wasn't a waste of time playing with your dolls. Sit down already.

Konkuro couldn't believe Crow was figured out. Temari was also impressed with the Leaf ninja for seeing through him.

Meanwhile the three sensei to the rookies were just sitting around a table. Asuma was smoking but surprisingly, Kakashi wasn't reading his little orange book. It was manly small talk until Asuma brought up his team.

Asuma: It is kinda dull without our team, huh?

Kakashi: Yeah I guess so.

Asuma: Don't worry, soon enough it will get real busy.
