Hope is held by friends (Naruto fanfic) (ON HOLD)

I PASSED!!!!!!

The graduation test, that's what everyone was talking about asstudents got called one by one to the exam room. And one certain blonde couldn't stop his nervous figetting.

"Stop tapping your foot and relax." The snowette sitting next to him sighed. She was leaning against the the back of her chair with her arms resting behind her head, her visable eye was closed. Naruto glared quizicly at his sister.

"She's almost always figetting herself and with everything that depends on passing this test she should be close to flipping out, so how come she's so calm?" The nine-tails almost sounded accusing.

"Because I took a run in the forest for the first time in years, and that helped tremendesly." Valla answered the fox before Naruto had a chance to repeate the question.

"Oh... dammit I keep forgetting you can hear me." Kurama grumbled. The corners of Valla's mouth twitched before going back to nutral.

"Valla D. Clarity" The snowette looked up at the sound of her name as a student walked out of the exam room. "It's your turn." Valla sighed before she stood up and walked into the room. Several students snickered at her bere feet, making comments about how she's to poor to afford a pair of ninja sandles. Valla just walked past them with a blank face, she almost looked board. Onyx eyes bored into her back as she closed the door to the exam room. Those same eyes had been watching her for some time now, the owner of those eyes knew that somthing about her was off, she just wasn't normal. A couple minutes had passed when Valla came back out and called the name of the next student, a leaf headband in her hand.

"Naruto Usumaki-Namakazi." (I spelled those wrong didn't I?) Naruto took a deep breath and walked twards the other room. As the two passed each other the snowette wispered to the blonde. "Stay calm, you'll do great." Naruto glanced at Valla and gave her a little smirk before walking into the exam room and closkng the door behind him. Sitting at a desk at the other end of the room where Iruka and Misuki-sensei. They both smiled at him though Misuki's seamed forced. Then Iruka gave him his instructions.

"Okay Naruto, please preform the subsatuion, henge, and clone jutsu's." Naruto nodded once before swiching places with a log that was placed in the corner of the room, then switching places with it again. The two instructers quikly wrote down the blonds score before looking back at said blonde. Naruto henged himself to look like Valla, and the instructers wrote down his scores again. Naruto dispelled the henge while they were writing. When they looked back up Naruto took a deep breath and made the hand sign for the shadow clone jutsu. Iruka looked worried while Misuki smirked, he was sure that the blonde was going to fail, but to the suprise of both instructers, Naruto make a perfect shadow clone. Naruto dispelled the clone and silence filled the room.

"You.... pass." Iruka said, still shocked.

"Damnit," Misuki clenched his teeth. "This ruins my plans."

Naruto gave them a big toothy grin, he was so happy he passed.

"Good jod kit, I knew you could do it."

"Thank you kura."

"Please call in Sasuke Uchiha when you leave." Iruka told Naruto. The blonde nodded, grabbed a head band and walked out the door.

"Sasuke!" Naruto called, the ravenette in question stood up without a word and walked into the exam room. Naruto just shrugged and walked back to his seat next to Valla, she had on a poker face and it made the blonde a bit nervous. An arm was suddenly around the boy's neck and someone's nuckles were rubbing on his scalp. "Ack! Valla!! What are you doing that for!!"

"Because you thought you would fail." A playful grin was plastered on Valla's face as she gave her brother a nuggie.
