Aki, Fuyu, Haru, Natsu | Sasuke Uchiha ♥ Story |

Fuyu 06.

Fuyu 06. 

“Alright!” Ibiki exclaimed, easily gaining the attention of all the remaining Genin. “An hour has passed, which means it's finally time for the 10th question.” he explained, scanning over the worried expressions before him. 

Alight! The 10th question. Naruto thought to himself, literally sitting of the edge of his seat. 

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, ask it already! Ritsu demanded, chewing on his bottom lip nervously. 

Fuyu sat up straight involuntarily in her chair as the words “It's finally time for the 10th question.” finally rang in her tan ears. This is it. 

Sasuke smirked to himself. Let's get this over with. 

“But before I ask the 10th question, let me explain something to you.” Ibiki began, taking in a shallow breath. “If you get this 10th question incorrect, you will not be able to advance to the second stage, nor will you be able to retake the chunin exams next year. So I give you this choice:” he paused “Leave now and avoid getting this question incorrect and have the chance to retry next year.” 

This whole part of the exam depends on this question? Fuyu asked herself, her honey brown eyes widening slightly. Could it really be that hard?

I said that I was going to put everything on the line for this question, no need going back on that now! Ritsu thought to himself, taking in a deep breath. 

Alright, the last question. Hopefully it isn't as hard as he's portraying it to be. Sakura thought to herself, involuntarily looking over at the backside of a trembling Naruto. Don't you dare raise you hand to leave Naruto. 

So it's come to this, hasn't it? Naruto asked himself, clenching his right hand tightly. I most likely won't be able to answer this question correctly...He added, beginning to raise his hand slowly accompanied with many other genin. 

Sasuke's gaze shot over to Naruto's tan hand slowly floating up. No! What are you doing idiot! He thought to himself, clenching his own right hand. 

Soma smirked to himself. Looks like you won't be getting this far this year. 

Please don't Naruto. Fuyu begged mentally. You have so many promises to fulfill, don't let this one moment stop you. 

“Are you giving up?” Ibiki asked, directing his question to Naruto. 

Naruto's hand dropped back to his side as he stood up abruptly. In one swift moment, his hand collided roughly on the desk below him. “I don't care if I remain a genin forever! I will become Hokage either way, and nothing, not even a stupid question, will stop me!” he barked confidently. 

Sakura sighed deeply in relief. 

I should've known you would've done something like that. Sasuke thought to himself, smirking lightly.

A small smile graced Fuyu's lips. I know you wouldn't go back on your word, Naruto. 

Ibiki smirked loudly. “Then that will be all who gives up? This will be your only opportunity to leave the exam unscathed.” he explained, scanning across the classroom. “Alright...then all of you pass!” he announced. 

A nearly deadly silence came over the room. 

“What? What was the 10th question??” Ritsu asked, standing up from his seat. “What do you mean we pass? You didn't ask the 10th question, did you?”
