Hey guys! Just wanted to say, sorry for the crappy chapter up ahead. Since I didn't know what to put on the written test, I'll be making it a short part. Sorry! This chapter will focus more on Tobi, since, again, I don't know what to put on the written test. And just for further notice, Keiko has a flat chest for now. I know, random, anyways, hope you enjoy and please vote! - written 2020

. . .

Keiko sat down at her desk, looking down at the paper below. It was very blurry, and she couldn't read anything that the paper said. Being half-blind truly was a pain. She was even sitting next to Sasuke, what a coincidence...

Ibiki started to explain the rules, and Keiko listened carefully. She wasn't planning on telling him she was blind, for there was no need. She had a plan up her sleeves. However, it was Kankuro that didn't seem to be on the same page as her.

"Um, sir?" Kankuro said, raising his hand, "You see, my friend over here is kinda...you know- blind."

Ibiki coughed, "Yes. I'm very aware of that situation. Candidate #48, please stand up."

At that moment, Keiko shot him her famous glare. Gasps were heard around the room, and people started muttering to each other. Though Kankuro couldn't see her glare, he knew. A shiver ran down his spine, and he quickly turned back to his desk. Even Gaara turned his eye towards Keiko, but his bloodlust covered too much of his thoughts for him to think clearly of what was going on.

Sasuke eyed Keiko suspiciously. She's taking the chunin exams alone, yet she's nearly blind? What an idiot. Well at least I have an advantage against her...

Irritation filled Keiko as she stood up. "I'm sorry about the...interruption you've just had sir, but I'm perfectly fine. I'm a ninja after all, my, er- condition doesn't hold me back."

Her voice was emotionless as always, but somehow soothing, and had some type of intense persuasion. Somehow, it felt dangerous. 

He nodded and smiled, "Very well then. Candidate #48, please sit down. We will continue onto the rules and such."

The ninja looked at Ibiki shocked. Never had they seen him so..calm. Keiko sat back down, and Sasuke gave her the side glare. She was definitely persuasive. He was debating whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. He was interrupted when he heard a the clock timer tick. Just then, the test begun. Sasuke sighed then flipped his paper over. He'll deal with her later.

Keiko flipped her paper over as well, analyzing it. She activated her sharingan then looked around the room. She spotted someone on the other side of the room, writing, quite quickly. Keiko focused on the movements of the pen, then started writing on her own paper. If she wasn't half-blind then perhaps she could've done the test without cheating. Before she started using her Mangekyou she would read books of all sorts, study, and prepare for upcoming tests. Unfortunately, her sharingan had other ideas.

Within a few minutes Keiko finished writing her answers down. She flipped her paper over then put her hands together, her elbows resting on the desk.

Sasuke glanced over at her, She finished so fast... It's impossible, she must've used a jutsu or some kind of cheat. The fact that she's blind as well....how? We'll need to keep a close eye on her.

He turned back to his paper, still studying the second problem. Temari glanced over at Keiko, only to see her paper flipped over. She sighed then turned back to her own. Sometimes this girl was too much.

. . .

Keiko walked outside of the first stage building, looking around. It was nearly night time. The sun was setting slowly, and everybody was rushing outside. She watched as little kids giggled and ran around the building, a smile playing on their young faces. Keiko watched from behind a tree she was leaning on. Children always have Keiko feel a weird sense of deja vu. They had such bright personalities, no responsibilities, and such a care-free life. She envied them. Taking one more glance at the children, Keiko began to walk into the forest.
