"Three or more working clones will pass you, two or less, and you will instantly fail and will have to redo this year at the academy, are you ready?" Ikruka Sensei said holding up three fingers, meaning three clones. "Yes Sensei." Everyone answered on que.  "Okay, the first person to be doing the exam is Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke, please come and do a demonstration of the replication technique."

"Alright." He got into an easy standing stance and formed his fingers into the well leaned hand signs then said, "replication jutsu!" Then five more Sasukes appeared. You could tell all the girls but a few were so impressed. Practicality screaming out to him. "Great job Sasuke-kun!" Yelled the pink bubblegum headed Sakura.

"Your the best in the class, your so amazing!" Yelled Ino There were other replies from others saying things like "great job Sasuke-kun!" Or "your the best Sasuke-kun!" Or even, "marry me Sasuke-kun!" It was death to my ears. So many 'Sasuke-kuns! Just say Sasuke! Please! I bet that little playboy loved it, players are always the true losers.

"That's a pass Uchiha Sasuke, you will be grauduting from the academy and becoming a ninja, thankyou and congratulations." Said Iruka Sensei, the exact words he's permitted to say to all who passed; which is everyone every year. "Next is... Haruno Sakura"

I could her people say "good luck Sakura." On her way over, to be honest: I hope Sakura fails. The only reason she went into the academy to become a ninja was so she could be with Sasuke. It's always "Sasuke-kun this!" And "Sasuke-kun that!" Enough of Sasuke-kun already!

While I was thinking, I must of had a nasty expression on my face, because Choji looked at me concered like from across the class. I smiled to make sure he knew I was alright. He smiled back, then continued to pay attention to Sakura. "Demonstrate the shadow clones when you are ready, Sakura." Iruka Sensei told her while waiting.

She got in her stance and made the dumb hand sign. "Replication jutsu." Three shadow clones appeared perfectly, much like Sasukes... Although they did look a little dumb, but that had nothing to do with the clones condition. That was just Sakura's face as usual.

I'm alright... Right? I can do this... I can do this... Surely I can if Sakura can... Right? But she is good at this... What if I don't pass?

"Well done, that's a pass Haruno Sakura, you will be grauduting from the academy and becoming a ninja, thankyou and congratulations. You may take a seat." She ran to take a seat with a smile on her face. Why were rude arragont girls like her praised the most?..It doesn't matter Naruko! Pay attention!

"Next is Hyuuga Hinata!"

><><><><><><><><><><><

Everybody finished and passed with three or more clones, I was the last one left! Please don't fail! Please don't fail! It would be so humiliating to be the only one who failed in class.. "Uzamaki Naruko, you next. Please come to the front of the class and make three or more shadow clones." I slowly walked up to the front, almost shaking like Hinata was.

I slowly and nervously got into my stance.- Why was i so nervous? Whatever.- I got into my stance and did the replication clone hand signs nervously as I thought about something that I needed to protect. My parents... That was the thing I've always wanted to protect but never got the chance to.

I forced my eyes shut and yelled "replication jutsu!" I hoped to at least make three or four clones, but what happened was something else. It surprised not only Iruka Sensei, but the whole class and me.
