Hitomi's POV

The Hokage had handed me a recommendation to participate in the Chunin Exams himself, seeing as how I had no official Sensei as of the moment.

Should I be honored? Probably.

Am I? Not at all!

I stared at the paper, my eyes skimming over the words quickly. 

The Chunin Exams sure sounded interesting. They said something about dying and killing, which grabbed my attention right away. I was ecstatic to finally be able to use my "babies" to spill some blood. My hands were practically twitching with excitement.

...

No, that's literally. I almost dropped the paper just now. I placed the sheet on the table, starting to boil some water for tea. I was parched from everything that had happened lately.

Which wasn't that much.

I get thirsty easily. I shoved the recommendation letter in my back pocket, and opened the door to the outside. 

Ah, fresh air. Oh look, people. I quickly slammed the door closed. Ew, people.

...

So this was where I was supposed to take the Exam? I glanced at all the genin rushing inside. These people look lame. At least half of these guys looked like they could die in the first few minutes. I mentally laughed, imagining their bloody and gore-filled deaths.

Yes, I was a very violent person. It's not like I judge you.

I followed the other young shinobi up a flight of stairs. Ah, which floor did they say I was supposed to take the test?

I frowned lazily. Should've taken the time to listen. Oh well! I followed everyone else to the floor they were stopping at. A group of ninja crowded in front of me. I jumped up, trying to see what all the commotion was about.

Yes, I'm also kind of short. Shut up!

I caught a couple of words about the floors and genjutsu. Oh hey, we're surrounded by a light genjutsu! I totally caught that before all of you, no lie. I'm a genius.

Anyways, I left the crowd to walk up another flight of stairs. Had to arrive there before everyone else did or I'd have nothing to brag about!

I quickly took a seat in the assigned room, puffing out my cheeks. The other genin filed inside. Then I spotted a taller guy in front. His face was covered in old scars and all that nasty stuff. I winced, wondering how that'd feel on my own face.

"Hello, genin, and welcome to the first part of the Chunin Exams. I am Ibiki Morino, your first exam proctor." 

Light mumbling started among the other genin. I caught a couple of "He's scary,"s and "What kind of test is this?"s. To be honest, I was curious about the latter myself.

"This part of the Exams is a written test." Groans and moans broke out, and several of them were my own. I hated written tests. I thought this was supposed to be a violent, scary thing full of weapons and stuff. This was totally time-consuming and lame.

I sighed, and stared at the ceiling as he spoke a bit more, waiting for it all to be over. I'm pretty sure my head hit the table after some time, and knocked me out cold, because when I opened my eyes again, a strange woman was standing in front of the room, in front of a large banner.
