Ikeri POV

"Now I'll be explaining what you'll be doing on this test." Anko said. She then explained on how we needed to get to a tower with two scrolls, one earth and one heaven. Each them will only be given one and you'll have to get the other by yourself. The time limit is five days.

This would've been easy if I didn't need to keep my identity hidden.

Just as Anko finished, Shikamaru raised his hand.

"What is it?" Anko asked.

"So let's say mid-exam, can we quit?"

"Of course not, in the middle of a battle you can't say 'sorry I quit'. I mean you can but it's probably going to get you killed."

Then she explained the rules of disqualification. "You must have all three members, well two for some of you at the tower, if you're one member short you're disqualified. Second you must have both scrolls at the tower if not same thing will happen. Third you must never ever look at the contents of the scroll until you reach the tower." After that she handed a few forms over to us.

So this may cause us to die huh? I'm making it out alive whatever it takes. I signed it and handed it in with Naruto. We got ourselves a heaven scroll and soon the exam started.

"Naruto, I suggest we go around looking for weaker teams with the scroll we need, it'll lessen our fight time and it'll be easier as well. And I suggest I keep the scroll." I said.

"Why don't we go to the tower and wait for teams to come to us?" Naruto asked.

"Because teams who already have both scrolls prove that they're strong. So waiting there isn't exactly the best choice." I explained, slightly annoyed by his stupidity.

"Okay! I'm passing and becoming Hokage. Believe it!"

"Shut up! It'll only attract attention now let's get going." I said before we starting running towards in a random direction.

Soon we bumped into Neji, Lee and Ten ten. Naruto was about to jump in and challenge them before I grabbed him by his hair and dragging him away.

"What was that for?"

"You were just going to challenge someone you can never beat." I said. Neji had his byakugan from the Hyuga clan. We saw Lee fight Sasuke before the exam and he was good. Ten ten well she's part of a good team.

"Hey Naruto, it would actually be easier if we were to attack Sasuke and Sakura. We know their weakness and strong points. They're over there. Let's go check out what scroll they have." I said.

"But they are our friends! I want them to pass as well." Naruto said.

"In battle friends and foes doesn't matter all that matter is your comrades and most of all yourself." I said, not taking my eyes off them.

Naruto wouldn't listen to my reasoning. "Listen here brat, if there is some other easier way I would've chose it but no. I'm here for a reason you know. We'll only get the scroll I won't kill them whatsoever. If you're not going to help, I'm afraid I'll have to do it myself."

"Ikeri, there must be some other way." Naruto whinned, staring at me.

I rolled my eyes and tied him up on top of a tree. I cast a genjutsu on him so he would shut up.

Then I confronted Sasuke and Sakura.

"I have a heaven scroll." I said.

"Isn't this perfect Sasuke-kun she's outnumbered so beating her would be easy." Sakura said, her eyes full of happiness and love.

"You just gave away what our scroll is!" Sasuke yelled at her, pissrd.

"Darkness confusion: Light illusion." I mumbled under my breath, doing the hand signs, casting the a genjutsu on them.

I searched in their pockets. So Sakura has it. Not exactly the best person to give your scroll to but I guess it is unexpected.

Wait. It's a heaven scroll. Damn it they faked a drama. I'll just take it in case we lose ours.

"Release!" I released them before running off and freeing Naruto as well.

"They didn't have it." I said, heading on ahead.

"You didn't hurt them did you?" Naruto asked concerned as he slowly catched up.

"No."

Soon after we came by Kiba.

"I got a heaven scroll." I said taking one out.

"Are you mocking me?" He yelled.

"No. Do you want it or not."

Before Kiba could answer his teammates, Shino and Hinata came, standing in their fighting stance in front of Kiba, leaving a gap in the middle for Kiba.

"What's happening Kiba?" Shino asked.

"This girl is mocking me. She told me she had a heaven scroll."

"Let's just fight them. We outnumbered them already anyways." Kiba smirked.

"Hey! We may be outnumbered but we're good!" Naruto yelled.

"K-Kiba-kun I-I don't think we should b-be wasting time here." Hinata said shyly.

So they don't have it.

"Let's go Naruto." I said.

"But... Hey! We have to show them what we're made of!" Naruto came after me screaming.

"No point in that. They don't even have the scrolls."

Soon after, we came by the glasses guy. He said his name was Kabuto.

"I have a heaven scroll." I said casually. Ugh, how many times am I going to repeat this?

"Perfect. Would you exchange it for an earth scroll?" He asked, this guy... He's scheming. He thinks I'm stupid? Exchanging it for an Earth scroll would just mean I need to go look for a heaven scroll. Luckily I had two heaven scroll so I should go for it.

"Sure." I said as we exchanged scrolls. I made sure it was earth and left with Naruto.

"Um Ikeri. Wouldn't we have to look for heaven scrolls now?" Naruto asked.

"No. I have another heaven scroll so it's straight to the tower." I said.

It's almost getting dark, we should hurry. It's easier for enemies to attack in darkness.

"Ikeri... You didn't take the heaven scroll from Sasuke ans Sakura did you?" Naruto asked, his face serious and concerned.

"Yeah I did." I said.

"How will they pass then?!" Naruto started yelling, stopping in the middle of nowhere, slowing us down.

"That's their problem. We're not in their team anyways." I said, stopping to get him going so we can reach as soon as possible.

"We are still in team 7! We should help each other out. I'm going back to help them and you're coming or you can't pass if I die." Naruto said. I admit, it's smart for a guy like him but it isn't going to work, not on me.

"Not if I can make sure you stay with me." I said, immediately casting a genjutsu over him and carrying him on my shoulder.

I went inside before releasing Naruto from the genjutsu and opening the scrolls.

Iruka sensei popped up, telling us congratulations we pass and that we'll be going into the preliminary round because there were too many candidates. Naruto was freaking out about Sasuke and Sakura's conditions and what I did.

Third hokage POV

The time they took to arrive at the tower. It nearly impossible for a team to arrive this fast. Especially if the team only consist of 2 people.
