Chapter 10: The First Exam! Yes or No!

"We'll begin the written exam once you're all seated." Ibiki stated.

Naru blinked a few times then her eyes widened as what she heard finally sank in. "A.... a... wr...written test?" she said, Shikamaru glanced at her, she gulped hard and held Mamoru's collar tight in fear.

Within 15 minutes all the genin in the room had been seated, Naru ended up in seat number 51, she smiled slightly as she thought. 'Thanks old man.' Next to her on her right was Shikamaru and on her left was Hinata and Mamoru got permission and laid at her feet. She knew instantly that Sarutobi had something to do with this, but she wasn't upset, she was a little relieved that he kept her friends next to her, because right now she needed the comfort.

"You'll be okay." Hinata whispered, Naru gave her a small smile.

"Alright, you each have been given your test, do not turn them over until I say to." Ibiki said as he stood at the front of the room still but the others were seated on both sides of the room at each row of tables with a clipboard. "Now be quiet as I explain the rules." he said. "Rule number 1, contrary to what you all believe this exam will be judged on a point reduction scale, you each begin with 10 points." he said and wrote in on the board. "The test has 10 questions, so basically each question is worth 1 point, so if you answer all of them correct you will have 10 points, if you miss three, your final score will be 7." he said.

'And if I don't answer anything, it's 0.' Naru thought.

"Second rule, this is a team test, whether you pass or fail will be determined by how many points you have together as a team." he said. "So whether you pass or fail is how you score from your initial total of 30." he said.

"Wait a second!" Sakura snarled standing up. "I understand this initial point system and all but why have it as a team test?!" she said.

"Shut up! You don't have the right to question me, now sit down!" he barked, she blushed and slunk in her seat. "Now comes the most important point and rule of the test." he said with a smirk. "You see these proctors around the room? They are here to watch you all carefully, for every time they catch you cheating, you will have 2 points taken off of your total score every time they catch you." he said. "As chunin hopefuls you must prove you have what it takes to become chunin." he said. "Show us." they groaned a little. "Oh, one more rule." he said. "If any of you get a 0 on your test or don't answer any of them, you will be failed, along with their teammates." he said, they gasped, Naru gulped hard and stared forward in shock then looked down, Mamoru nuzzled her leg slightly. "You will have 1 hour to complete the test." he said. "And...." he said and looked at the clock, it ticked to 3:30. "Begin!!" he said, everyone flipped their papers over, Naru grabbed her pencil and bit her lip.

'What do I do?! Damn!' She thought and bit her lip harder.

'Don't mess this up dope...' Sasuke thought looking at Naru's back from his seat, he saw her just sitting there.

Shikamaru started to read through the questions on his test and frowned a little. 'Line B, seen in the diagram is the greatest possible distance a shinobi can throw his shuriken form a tree of 7 meters high. For enemies who appear with in the circumference of the shuriken's range, explain the attack options using this distance and show your work.' He read and shook his head and continued on reading through all of them. 'Well, this is interesting. It's so complex, how does he expect anyone to answer these questions. There is probably only a few others that could answer these besides me.' He thought, he glanced at Naru and frowned. 'Why wasn't she given a heads up?' He thought then sighed. 'Okay, let's think about everything, there has to be something else here that I'm not getting.' He thought and began to review over everything Ibiki had said.
