the Genin exams

Chapter six: the Genin exams

Six years had passed in a blink of an eye as Iruka stood before the class telling them what was required of them to become ninja and earn their leaf headbands.

"Not all of you will earn your headbands and be able to call yourselves ninja.  Remember to pass you have to be able to pull off the transformation jutsu, the clone jutsu, and score at least five points on the shuriken and kunai throw, and at least three points on the written test.  Extra points will be rewarded for the transformation jutsu and how many clones you can produce." stated Iruka.  Naruto let out a low sigh.  No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't produce a valuable clone.  They either look deflated or sick.  It was because he had too much chakra.  Even without the clone jutsu, Naruto wanted to pass as he was tied with Sasuke for rookie of the year.  This frustrated all of the human girls in the class as they felt that Sasuke was too good to be with Naruto and that the Kitsune was some how cheating.  They had no idea that Sasuke and Itachi was helping him with his studies.  Iruka dismissed the class as everyone left for the day.  Itachi had told his brother and Naruto that after school had let out, he would be happy to help with any training they needed to pass to become Genin.  Both Naruto and Sasuke headed home to the Uchiha compound.  Itachi had set up targets in the backyard near the forest that surrounded their home.  The targets was for their shuriken and kunai practice.  When the two got home, they called out for Itachi as the older Tengu told them that he was in the backyard.  Naruto and Sasuke headed to the backyard to see a table set up with various weapons.  

"So what do you guys need to pass?" asked Itachi.

"Transformation jutsu, clone jutsu, five points on target practice, and three points on the written." answered Sasuke.

"Itachi......  Can you still pass if you fail even one of the parts?" asked Naruto.  

"I am not certain.  But I think that I found a loop hole in the clone jutsu as no where does it say which clone jutsu that you have to do.  The clone jutsu that I am going to teach you is a B Ranked.  I believe that with the amount of the chakra you possess you can perform the forbidden part of this jutsu with ease.  As you maybe the only one who could do it safely." answered Itachi as this caused Naruto's brow to raise in question.  Itachi took a step back as he held up two of his fingers in a plus sign.  "Shadow Clone Jutsu." he stated creating at least four solid clones.  "This jutsu creates a solid clone which equal distributes your chakra between yourself and the clone.  The version that is forbidden is  the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.  Now I want for you to give it a try." stated Itachi as he dismissed the jutsu.  Naruto stepped back away from both Sasuke and Itachi as he took a long deep breath letting it out slowly.  He held his hands up in the same way that Itachi did as he flared up his chakra.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" he called out.

The following  day both Naruto and Sasuke entered the ninja academy.  Both were determined to become ninja.  They hoped that they would be placed on the same team.  Naruto became good friends with Kiba Inuzuka.  Most of the demons in the class didn't treat Naruto any different than any other demon that was in the class.  The Ookami even supported Naruto's dream to become Hokage along with their teacher Iruka whom also happened to be a human omega.  Male omega's were very rare in the leaf village or in the elemental nations all together.  Even though Iruka hadn't mated yet, his desire to be a parent or around children drove him to become a teacher.    Both demons made their way into the classroom as once again, Sasuke's fangirls surrounded the young Tengu.  Kiba pulled Naruto away from the horde of fangirls before the Kitsune could attack them.
