1st July 1616

The chunin exams had begun. It was time for the written test.

When I entered and sat down in my allocated seat, I looked around to see where my teammates were seated. Sasuke was sitting somewhere behind me. Naruto was sitting in the first few front rows. I was somewhat in the middle. Based on the layout of the participants, they made us sit away from our teammates and rather next to our enemies. Let's just see how the test goes...

I read through the question paper. I scanned every question for any secrets. It felt like a normal test. Though, I knew better than that. Based on the rules, this was an information-gathering test. We had to look for answers and get information from others. But.... why are the questions so easy? I could solve this in 25 minutes. As soon as I was finished, I noticed Ino looking my way. I quickly turned over my paper and ducked my head down as I pretended to fix my ninja boots. I grinned since I knew that Ino could now have to target someone else.

I just needed to figure out how to pass the answers to Naruto. I knew Sasuke could handle himself, but Naruto didn't know that the exam was about cheating. I contemplated many ways to give Naruto the answers. I only found one real way to give Naruto the answer. I haven't tried it out, but I did learn a communication jutsu. It's tough to use since it requires delicate chakra control to make it unnoticeable. I have to attach a chakra string to his head and use vibrations to put sounds in his head. I raise my hand. "Sir, I have to go to the bathroom," I say calmly and loud enough that Ibiki can hear me. I walked out of my seat and chose the longer way to go to the bathroom since I had to be closer to Naruto to attach this chakra string. I had attached one end to my desk. I calmly walked around the desk and straight for the front. I passed by Naruto's desk. An exam staff girl came through the door. "I have to go with you to make sure that you don't try anything." She said sternly. She had handcuffs in her hand. I put my hand out. "That's fine." I shrugged.

As the exam staff girl was leading me out, I noticed Naruto looking at me leave. I winked at him. I had already placed the chakra string on his head. After going to the bathroom, I quickly came back. The girl uncuffed me. I sat down in my seat. I discretely connected the chakra string to my head. I put my head down and pretended I was trying to sleep since I was bored. I used my jutsu to send a message. "Naruto, don't move. I know you can hear me. Pick up your pencil. I will tell you the answers one by one. If you want me to repeat something, just whisper 'circle'. If you want me to tell you the spelling of a word, just whisper 'square'. Do not talk about anything else. If you get my instructions, then start writing." I transferred the message. He could talk back to me, but I needed the proctor to not notice, so that's why I told him to whisper.
