Chapter 3 || Pop Quiz

---

The last couple days passed by in a blur of tests and questions from the doctors. They had been hovering in and out at all hours, examining her arm and remarking about how she was recovering so quickly.

After just a few days Ace had regained full motion and motor function, finally able to lift and hold things herself. Though it was odd. She had expected that her burnt arm would feel weaker and heavier, but in actuality it felt stronger and lighter.

Like the bolt of lightning was actually just a straight shot of steroids into her muscles. It invigorated her, making it so much easier to get around.

Another odd thing about her injury, was the vibration that ran through it, coursing through her entire body, equalling out at her shoulder. At first she hadn't noticed it, but one night when she was trying to fall asleep, it was impossible to ignore.

She guessed that this was the chakra that nurse had asked her about.

"Miss Uchiha?" A voice calls out, a head peaking around the door "you have a visitor"

It was strange being called by a name that wasn't hers, she was getting used to it little by little, but figured it'd always be a little weird.

A familiar silver head of hair popped into the room with a two fingered wave "Yo".

"Hey Kakashi, what brings you here?" Ace smiles, she hadn't seen him since that first day with the Hokage and Sasuke. It had just been hospital staff since then.

He waltzes in, holding up some stapled together pages and a pencil "tests!" He answers with a cheer, sure to be well aware how disappointing that answer is.

"Oh... You shouldn't have" she drawls in return, her mouth pressed into a thin line.

He had a bag dangling at his side as well, seeming heavy and packed with something. Suspicion filled the small girl as she took in the sight. This wasn't going to turn into a full lesson was it?

He began setting up the tray table at her side, arranging the test, pencil and an eraser ready for her "You can blame the doctors for this one." he said  "They prescribed 'An IQ test for possible brain damage'" he explains with finger quotes.

Ace nodded, it made sense. Memory issues and a lightning burn heading up her arm and around her shoulder. The natural assumption would be brain damage.

"I think you just want to see me suffer actually" she shrugged, shaking her head "you seem like the sadistic type" she joked.

Kakashi smiled warmly, "You're right!" He cheers, stacking another stapled paper booklet on top of the last one taking the total paper count up to around twelve pages.

Ace groaned. Her hospital vacation becoming much less relaxing in that one movement.

"They'll be using these test results to figure out your placement in the village academies. So don't mess up" he encourages with a thumbs up.

Ace lit up at that, "I've been meaning to ask about that," she grinned "how do I go about becoming a ninja?"

Kakashi lifted his eyebrow in surprise. He seemed guarded at the thought, looking her up and down. His thumbs up dropped rather quickly, his posture stiffening.

"The life of a ninja is one of the hardest paths to follow." He begins, his tone completely serious, almost hostile. "I don't think you know enough to make that decision just yet."

Ace frowned. It seemed like everyone was a ninja from what she knew, she hadn't realised it was viewed so seriously.

However her resolve wasn't shaken. If she was going to be here, wherever here was, she was going to experience it fully and wholly.
