The Red Blossom

Graduation Test

" For the Graduation test you will be making a clone. " Once Iruka said that Naruto started to freak out. Garnet tried to calm him down but he ignored her. Garnet grabbed Naruto's face and stared into his eyes.
" Naruto, you can do this. You're the future hokage, you can do it. " Garnet held his hand. " I believe in you. " Garnet said in gentle, quiet voice. Naruto smiled at Garnet.

" Thanks Garnet! I needed that!" Naruto said. Garnet nodded. 

"Naruto Uzumaki!" Iruka called. Naruto stood up and began to walk out, but not before Garnet grabbed his hand and kissed him on the cheek. Garnet whispered, good luck and Naruto left. 

-----------------------------

It's been a few minutes after Naruto left for the graduation test and Garnet was worrying on the inside, but the outside was a stone face. ' Naruto passed. He has to passed. He really wanted to pass this time. He worked so hard. And the clone jutsu isn't helping him either. If I didn't know better I'd say they did this on purpose. Damn those stupid people who hate Naruto for no good reason. ' Garnet bit her lip and stared at the door. Iurka came out and glanced at Garnet " Garnet Uzumaki. " Garnet got up. 

" Tch. It's not like she's going to pass.....she's weaker than Naruto!"

" Yeah and he's a freak!" A couple of girls whispered. Garnet stopped and turned to the girls and walked up to them. They stared at her in shock that they had been caught. 

" You. Ever. Call Naruto a freak I'll snap your necks in half. " Glarnet growled then smashed the desk in half. Everyone stared at Garnet in surprise. Garnet glance around the room, " I hear you trash talking my brother again, the same will happen to you. Naruto will become a better ninja than all you could ever dream of. " Garnet growled than left the room with a menacing air around her. 

Garnet walked into the next room and stood in front of Iruka and Mizuki. She bowed. " Ok Garnet just make a cl-" Garnet cut off Iruka. 

" Did Naruto pass." She asked. Iruka paused and looked down. " Well?" Garnet pressed on. Iruka shook his head. Garnet felt her heart shatter. ' Naruto......' Garnet did the hands signs and barley did any chakra. Her clone was barely half done. Iruka sighed, already knowing that would happen. 
" You fail Garnet I'm sorry. " Iruka said, Garnet nodded and bowed but before she left Iruka called out to her. " Garnet!" She turned around. Iruka was holding a headband. " You can't keep messing up for Naruto. Garnet you pass. " Iruka pushed the headband to her.

Garnet grabbed the headband and threw it at Iruka a glare that could kill millions, " No. Naruto and I will not be separated. I refuse to pass without him. " This time it was Mizuki frowned. 

" Garnet you passed just take it. " Mizuki said in a more demanding voice. Garnet narrowed  her eyes at Mizuki. ' He's planning something.......he doesn't want me with Naruto. Oh hell nah. ' Garnet thought. 

" No. I will pass when Naruto passes. See  you next year Iruka. " Garnet said and left the room. She went outside to see her brother sitting glumly on the swing.  Garnet went up to him and hugged him. " I'm sorry Naruto. " She whispered. " I know you really tried this time. " Naruto hugged her back and tried not to cry. 

" I really wanted to pass this time Garnet. I tried I really did. " Naruto whispered his voice trembling. Garnet's heart shattered at his voice. 

" I know Naru, I know. Iruka just trying to help. " Garnet held Naruto's face in her hands. " How about we go to ramen and we can train to perfect it. Hmm?" Naruto nodded and hugged her tightly. 
" Thanks Garnet. " He whispered. 

" Hey isn't them?" One women asked another. 

" Yeah the only two that failed. " 

" Tch. Serves them right. " 

" Yeah imagine if they let those two pass?" 

Naruto head went down in shame. But Garnet felt anger in he blood she stood up tall and pick up a rock and threw it at them. Rage on he face. " SHUT UP! " She yelled. The two women looked terrified. " SAY ANOTHER WORD I'LL MAKE SURE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SPEAK AGAIN!! " Garnet grabbed Naruto's hand and pulled him close to her. And lead him away from the whispering crowd. " Don't listen to those judgmental idiots Naruto. We will pass. " Garnet whispered. 

Naruto looked at his sister in shock but nodded and stayed close to her. " I'm sorry Garnet. I should've studied more an-" Garnet cut him off and hugged him tightly.

" Don't you ever apologize. I love you the way you are. It's okay we always have next year to learn from our mistakes. " Garnet said. ' If only there was a way for him to graduate now. It would be a miracle. ' Garnet thought. Then Mizuki showed up in front of them.

" Naruto Garnet. Do you really want to pass?" He said with a smirk. 

-------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto and Garnet " Borrowed" the scroll Mizuki told them if they passed a jutsu they would pass. Garnet had her doubts but Naruto would pass. Once they opened it Garnet immediately recognized it. ' The forbidden scroll' Garnet had read about it when she was younger. Suddenly it hit her, ' Mizuki set us up! He knew that everyone would come after us and probably kill us. ' Garnet watched Naruto read  the first jutsu. ' But if Naruto does the first Jutsu he could fend them off....' Garnet looked over at he scroll and raised her brow. ' Shadow clone jutsu....damn it's like they know his weaknesses....I'll need to learn this too so Naruto won't be the only one to fend them off. ' Garnet started to read and teach Naruto about the jutsu and how to do the hand signs and the amount of Chakra. 

After what seemed like hours Garnet and Naruto finally memorized it and perfected the jutsu. Naruto was out of breath and Garnet was sweating. ' I didn't think it would be that hard. I;m surprised Naruto got it in only a few hours....' Garnet thought. As they were about to do the second jutsu Iruka showed up. " G-Gotcha!" He said without breath. Garnet stood behind Naruto as he told Iruka about Mizuki and how he told how he could graduate. Suddenly Garnet heard leaves rustling and saw Mizuki aiming a giant shurikan at Naruto. She pushed Iruka and Naruto out of the way. The blade pierced her back and she cried out. 

" GARNET!!!" Iruka and Naruto yelled. Mizuki came and growled. 

" Damn missed. " 

Garnet tried to get up but her body couldn't move. ' Damn it! Move! Naruto needs me!' Garnet screamed at herself. She grunted and slowly stood up blood dripping down her back. garnet toke a step forward before falling back down her shimmering red hair spread around. Her vision started to go hazy. ' No....Naruto......wait for me......' Then darkness took over.

~Fun Garnet Facts~

Garnet has trained to hide her feelings and her emotions in her voice. That's why she is always monotone and calm. But she hasn't perfected it. So when she's furious she will basically turn into a more dangerous hulk. ( Gets it from her mother ) One time Naruto and Garnet were in the store and the owner hit Naruto, she lost all control and wrecked half of the store and put three people in the hospital including the owner. The only person who can calm her down is Naruto.
