"Sorry to keep you waiting." An intimidating looking man with scars on his face said seriously. "I'm the examiner for the first test of the Chunin Selection Exam, Morino Ibiki."

The crowd of Genin's gaped at them in shock.

Ibiki narrowed his eyes and pointed at the three Oto-nins. "You three from Otogakure no Sato, don't think you can do anything you want before the exam. Do you want us to fail you already?"

"I'm sorry. I was excited, since this is my first exam." Dosu said calmly.

Ibiki smirked unbelieving. He looked at the crowd of Genin. "This is a good chance to say this...You are not allowed to fight each other during the exam unless given permission by the examiners. Even if the permission is given, you are not allowed to kill the other." He glared at them dangerously. "Pigs who go against me will fail immediately. Understood?"

Zaku smirked cheekily. "Hmph, this exam seems so soft and easy."

Ibiki ignored him. "We will now begin the first exam of the Chunin Selection Exam. Turn in your applications, take one of these number tags, and sit where the number tells you to. Then we will pass out the papers for the written exam."

Naruko blinked and titled her head in confusion. "Written...? Paper...?" Then she realized it. She slumped over in depression. "Why do you we have to do a written exam?! That is soooooo boring... I'm gonna dieee!" She whined dramatically making Shikamaru snort.

"You are really mutating into a Nara, Naru. Now you only need to learn how to say troublesome." He told her lazily, but amused.

Naruko just stuck out her tonguw at him before she went to sit down on her place.

After all the Genin's sat down on the right places and the examiners sat down by the walls...

Naruko sighed and looked at the paper before her. 'That's soooo boring already!' She pouted and laid her head onto the table.

Sakura, who sat a bit behind her, looked at her in glee. 'She's depressed. This must be the worst type of exam for Naruko.'

"N-Naruko-chan..." Someone timidly spoke up from beside her.

Naruko looked surprised next to her, just to notice that Hinata sat next to her.

"Oh, Hinata-chan. When did you...?" Naruko smiled at her.

Hinata looked at her and a small smile lit her face. "Let's do our best."

Naruko giggled cheerily. "Sure." 'I didn't notice her at all... She really needs to talk more and be more confident, she's such a nice girl.'

Ibiki tapped a chalk onto the blackboard. "This First Exam has a few important rules. I will not accept any questions, so listen carefully."

Sakura looked at him confused. 'Rules? Won't accept any questions?'

Ibiki began to write onto the blackboard. "First rule is you all are given ten points to start. The written exam consists of ten questions, and each is worth one point. This test is a deduction-based test. If you get one problem wrong, you will get one point deducted. If you get three problems wrong, your points will be reduced to seven."
