My Damned Life || A Naruto Fanfic [COMING SOON]

4~ Darn, The First Exam!

Mr. ibiki Informed everyone that we'll be taking a written test. I started to panic, and the dreadful feeling of wanting to cry surfaced. What if i don't know a single thing? Kando and Mando are bound to have no problem. Kando is a genius, and as much as a hate to admit it, Mando actually has some brains. 

We're given seats, and i end up sitting behind the loud blond kid. It would be quiet sad if i end of failing and the loud blond kid passes, when me and Kando were just talking about him getting himself killed. What will my mom say?

"You"ll all begin the test with a perfect score of 10 points." I zoned back into the intructions. "One point will be deducted for each awnser you get wrong. Teams will pass of fail based on the final score of all three members. The sentinels you see positioned around the room are there to watch you carefully for any signs of cheating. And for every incident they spot, they will sutract two points from the culprits score. If any canidate get's a zero the enire team fails."

I begin to panic even more. I cant bring Kando and Mando down with me. They don't deserve to fail. I need to figure out how to pass. For the sake of not only me, but my teammates as well.

We are told that there will be a final question 15 minutes before the end of the hour testing period.

Then, the testing period begins with a shout of "begin"

I skim through the questions, and i shudder in fear, I don't know a single awnser. Heck, I don't even know if Kando will know them all.

I glance over to Kando, who's reading his paper with a bored expression, and then at Mando who's got his eyes closed and gripping tightly onto his genjutsu boomerang attached to his thigh. They both seem to be doing fine... is..is it only me who's not smart enough?

Suddenly, i see a glint of light to the right of me. I turn my head to see Kando looking at me with a serious stare. He closes his eyes and looks forward. I do the same, closeing my eyes and looking in front of me. 

I open my eyes again and look down at my paper, and see all the questions completed. I didn't do this, no, Kando put a genjutsu on me. He's making me see what he wants me to see. I hurry and trace all of the awnsers. As guilty as it makes me feel to be cheating, i can't bring my teammates down.

When all of my test is filled out i close my eyes again, and re open them to see the test filled out, but this time in my own sloppy handwriting.

This is why Kando is the future of our team. I was lost, and clueless, but somehow Kando pulled me along. It wasn't my doing that allowed me to get these awnsers. It was Kando's. 

People were caught one after the other, making less and less competitors for my team.

"Alright Listen up. Here's the tenth and final question. But before i give you the question there are some more rule you need to be aware of. You can choose not to be given the final question, but you'll get a zero. If you take it and fail, you will be banned from taking the chunin exam ever again."

People began raising their hands left and right,  failing themselves.

Suddenly, the blonde guy in front of me raised his hand. For a second i thought he was giving up, but them he slamed his hand onto the desk in front of him. "Don't underestimate me!"

He gave a mini speach about being hokage, and suddenly many of the other test takers lost their gloomy faces. Are they.. inspired by him? Did that loud blond kid with a death wish just... Inspire people? Is he actually someone with meaning? He just seems like a typical class clown, but somehow he was able to do what i couldn't dream of being able to do. 

"There's only one thing left for me to tell you, and it's that you've all passed the first exam."

Mr. Ibiki told us that we were supposed to cheat. Suddenly i felt even worse about myself. Kando realized that didn't he? He realized the truth behind the test, and i didn't. Why is Kando so good at everything, and so better than me. I stared wide eye at my desk, drowning out everything around me. I may have passed the test on document, but in reality, i didn't pass.

My head shot up as a women crashed through the window. I sweat dropped when i saw who it was.

"Heads up boys and girls, this is no time to be celebrating , I'll be your next procter, Anko Mitarashi. You ready for the second test? Good! Then let's go follow me."

Mando burst out laughing, and fell off of his chair clutching his stomach. "An-anko Sensei? You?"

Anko-Sensei Looked over the crowd of genin before her eyes landed onto Mando. She narrowed her eyes at him. "Huh, who would have thought Hansuke would let your team participate again after last years horrible defeat." 

Suddenly, Mando stood up. "Hey shut up, it's in the past," Mando growled before slamming himself into his seat. 

After the exam, i trudged over to Kando and Mando.

"Hey Riri, do you wanna go and grab a bite to eat to celebrate our first win?" Kando suggested.

"I think i'll pass. We have exam two tomorow. I need to prepare for that."

"Alright. How about we do it some other time?" Mando suggested, to which we all agreed upon. " I still can't believe Anko Sensei will be our procter. Do you think Hansuke Sensei knows?"

"I'm sure he does, and i'm sure he's happy about it. He might use our exams as a new excuse to talk to her." Kando added.

"Like he needs excuses, at this point it's pretty clear to everyone he's obsessed with her." I said. We all burst out laughing before we headed home in preperation for tomorrow's exam.
