Princess & The Snake (Orochimaru Love Story)

Chapter 1: Graduation

Third person's P.O.V

A six-year-old blonde girl sat at the back of the classroom, having arrived early that day for exams. This girl was known as Haruko Senju. Today was the day of their graduation exam, and the young Senju princess wanted nothing more than to get this day over with so she could go back to training, but she knew not everything goes according to plan, no matter how much you wish it.

"Hey, beautiful," A loud voice said from behind her. She turned around to see none other than the biggest pervert in class, Jiraya.

"Jiraya, go bother some other girl," She sighed. "I'm not interested in a guy like you," She said to him, turning away from him and looking out the window as more kids came into the classroom.

"Don't tell me you into him as well," Jiraiya muttered.

"Interested in you?" She questioned, not looking at Jiraiya.

"That teme!" He shouted as he pointed toward a boy with pale skin and long raven hair walking into the classroom.

"His name Orochimaru not teme," She stated. "Also, that is not why I reject you. I leave you because you peek at girls, which is rude. I prefer guys with the manner, and Orochimaru does fit that; plus guess he is handsome, but I am not a fangirl if that is what you think."

"What, that teme has no manners!"

"Oh, Jiraiya, do everyone a favor and go on somewhere," A female voice from behind Jiraiya.

Haruko and Jiraiya turned around to see a seven-year-old girl with a fair skin tone. She had lavender hair tied up in a bun and bright blue eyes. She wore a royal blue kimono and white shorts with black ninja sandals. It was none other than Haruko's best friend, Seiki.

"Seiki morning," Haruko greeted, smiling st her best friend.

"Morning," She replied, pushing Jiraiya out of the way and sitting down."See, you never pervert," She told him, moving him away from the table.

"Hey, I was trying to get a date," He complained.

"Not happening. Either of us is interested," Seiki told him.

"Fine, I just ask Tsunade then," Jiraiya muttered.

"He is going to regret that big time," Haruko said with a slight wince.

"Yeah, not only is she is going to beat him senseless but he be rejected for Orochimaru," Seiki chuckled, looking over Orochimaru, who was reading a book.

Haruko nodded, recalling her sister was one of Orochimaru's fangirls.

"Enough about that. Are you ready for the graduation exam?" Seiki asked.

"Yes, I'm ready to graduate and begin my path to becoming an excellent ninja," She replied. "What about you?" she asked.

"Same."

Haruko turned towards the front of the classroom as a man with tan skin and short chestnut hair walked into the room holding a clipboard.

"Good morning, class! We will now begin the graduation exam. The first part of the exam will be a written portion!" He announced.

Some of the class groaned, not happy about a written exam. Haruko just shrugged as the sensei placed an exam paper in front of her.

"Now that everyone has an exam, begin the first exam!"

Haruko then began taking the written exam after her sensei signaled for them to start.

----------------

After an hour, everyone was done taking the exam and was waiting for the next part of the graduation exam to start.

"Alright, class, we will start the second and final exam. When your name is called, come to the room across the hall!" The sensei announced, heading towards the back room to set up the next exam before calling the first person.

"Shiho Aburame, you're first," He called out.

A girl with a jacket and glasses covering her first stood up and headed towards the other room.

Haruko rested her head on her desk while waiting for her name to be called.

'Just relax her until it's my turn to take my test.' She thought, closing her eyes slightly as she waited patiently for her turn.

After a while of waiting, she felt her shoulder be tapped and saw Seiki next to her with a black headband on her forehead.

"It's your turn Haruko," She said.

"Alright," She said, standing up and heading out the room towards the other room.

----------

Haruko walked into the room, where she saw her sensei and the co-sensei sitting at a large table with multiple headbands in front of him.

"Haruko Senju, first to pass, you need to perform the clone justu and make four clones, then substitution, and finally the transformation justu," Her sensei told her.

Haruko nodded and made the hand sign as she focused on her chakra. She smiled as she saw she had made four perfect clones.

"Excellent now for Substitution."

Haruko made the hand sign as she saw the other sensei throw a kunai at her, but instead, he hit a log that was in her place.

"A perfect substitution as well," Her sensei nodded. "Finally, do the transformation justu."

Haruko closed her eyes as she imagined the person carefully in her head. A couple of minutes later, instead of Haruko, there stood a peach skin man with short red hair and blue eyes. It was none other than her father.

"A perfect transformation into your father's reasonable choice and every detail is flawless," He said. "Haruko, you passed every test and scored second-best on the written exam after Orochimaru. Grab a headband you give."

"Thank you," Haruko said, grabbing a red headband off the table.

"Tell your sister she next."

Haruko nodded and left to tell her sister she was next.

After everyone went, the class  was dismissed, and everyone was told to be back here for orientation in two days to meet their new team and sensei.
