ANYWAY I HAVENT UPDATED IN ALMOST A YEAR, BUT IM BACK LOVES HERES THE NEXT CHAPTER 😘

You bounced your leg as you watched the screens connected to the surveillance cameras. The second part of the exams had started, and the Hokage wanted you to watch them.

Just watch. Even though the whole point of you coming back to the village was to protect it from Orochimaru, you weren't allowed to intervene. Not until he showed himself.

You thought it was bullshit. But the Hokage insisted on keeping Orochimaru's presence on the down low. So, you watched the screens.

After a while, you sighed and looked away. After all, you weren't the only one watching them. There were maybe twenty other shinobi in the room, who were ranked as chunin or jonin, but really didn't fight. They were mostly in charge of security.

You leaned back in the chair and sighed. A few of the newer shinobi occasionally glanced back at you with a weird look. The older ones couldn't care less what you did, and intently focused on the screens, their fingers moving quickly on their keyboards. You felt confident that they could do their jobs, so you closed your eyes and focused on what you could do.

You breathed out and focused on the chakra signatures of everything in the forest.

Most of the genin were still at the very start. A few groups had progessed a little, but it would take then a while to get to the center.

Meanwhile, a new shinobi working the cameras turned around and glared at you. "Sleeping on the job?" He muttered.

The shinobi sitting in a corner glanced over at him. The shinobi had an eyepatch over his right eye. Claw-like scars spread over the right side of his face. He was the one who had greeted you when you walked in. He was a jonin, and the one who gave orders to all the shinobi in the room. You figured he had lost his eye in a mission. His right arm had a noticeable lack of movement, and he favored his right leg when he walked. Most likely, he had been deemed unfit to continue fighting.

"Quit staring and do your job," the eyepatch shinobi said to the new shinobi.

The new shinobi clicked his tongue and looked at the screen again.

About 30 minutes went by, with mostly silence in the room. You continued checking the chakra signatures the whole time. You smiled as you felt three familiar chakra signatures, as they were one of the farther ahead groups. But, your smile quickly fell. Something was wrong.

Your eyes shot open immediately.

A part of a woman's screen suddenly started flashing red, and she yelled over her shoulder, "Anomaly dete-"

"On it," you yelled back. You marched over to a window in the direction of the "anomaly" and started to heave it open. Suddenly, someone caught your arm and dragged you back.

You whipped your head around to the person holding your arm. "The fuck is your problem?"

"What's yours?" The new shinobi sneered. "Who are you to just run off? You have to wait for orders."

You shoved him away, but he was surprisingly quick and strong, and latched back onto your arm. "You have 3 seconds before I break your fucking arm." You hissed.

The new shinobi didn't let go. Suddenly, he lost control of his own body. He walked backwards a step, and his arm twisted itself until the bone snapped. He screamed in pain and fell to the floor.

You lifted the window open and dashed away.

The shinobi held his arm against himself and groaned. "That fucking bitch, what kind of technique is that?"
