Genin Exam

[Yuki]

Shikamaru scowled at the disrespectful comment and walked to the front of the class as Yuki returned to his seat as well.

At the front of the class, Iruka held out the basket to Akira. The paper that she drew would read; kai as well.

Iruka nodded and Ebisu whispered to Yuki. Yuki disappeared, and a few seconds later reappeared at the front of the class about 20 feet from Akira. Unbeknownst to her, he was using his displacement technique.

Iruka stood beside Akira... "Akira, please throw a kunai at Yuki for me..."

[Akira]

Akira stood and took out a kunai. She flipped it in her hand a few times. She knew this was to good to be true. Getting a free shot at Yuki like this. There had to be more to it. She just stood there for a long moment looking at Yuki flipping the Kunai in her hand. Why would they be getting Yuki to help with this test? Is there something about this that only Yuki could do? Akira was trying to work this out in her head. She closed her eyes for a moment as she tried to think, then her eyes shot open and grin formed on her face. The jutsu she had done with Otomeken was still active. she had a hell of a headache from it but she wanted to get better at it. She could hear it when she closed her eyes. Yuki's heart. it was not beating where Yuki could be seen standing. Akira threw the Kunai and it looked like it was going to completely miss it's target. But as soon as she released the Kunai she formed a seal with her hands.

Kai!

The room returned to normal and the kunai was heading right for Yuki's head. she was breathing heavy now but not from using the kai, but for holding onto Otomeken's jutsu for so long. she released it and fell back into her seat controlling her breathing so that she didn't look tired. She kinda hoped the kunai would hit it's target.

[Yuki]

With a quick movement, Yuki drew his katana and batted the kunai out of the air before returning it to his sheath. Yuki went and sat back down without a word.


Shikamaru made his way up to Kuraudo with the basket and got him to draw his final exam. On Kuraudo's paper was the word; kiwarimi.

[kuraudo]

Kuraudo let out a loud "Yes!" As he saw what he got. In the last test he passed it and that was with a kunai thrown at him. All he had to do was the jutsu he knew so well now. He stood up with a smile as he seemed to be lost in thought for a few moments. All of a sudden there was a poof of smoke as a small bag of kunais and shurikans fell to the top of his table. He may not be able to throw trhem but he always kept a few with him just in case. As they glanced around the room they could see Kuraudo sitting in the chair by the window as he was watching the clouds pass by. He hoped he pass this exam or was his dream going to pass him by like that cloud?

[Yuki]

Shikamaru picked the bag up off the floor and set in on the desk behind him as Iruka made his way over to Kaida for her to pick her jutsu out of the basket.... On the paper that she would draw, it would read; bunshin no-jutsu....

[kaida]

Kaida smiled a bit as she saw the writing. She had this jutsu down no problem. Standing up, she performed the handseals and there were three poofs of smoke as she created three clones of herself, all identical and impossible to tell which was the real Kaida. She held it for a while and then released it.

[Takara]

Shikamaru nodded for Kaida to return to her seat. "Yuki," he said holding out he bag for him to pick. Ebisu's eyebrows raised when it read Rope Jutsu. With a shruge he picked up a rope to tie up Yuki. After securing his hands behind his back and tieing his feet together he said, "Alright, escape before I can kill you," he commanded as he walked to the other side of the room and ran toward him throwing kunai at Yuki's prone form on the floor.

[Yuki]

Yuki had hoped that was what Ebisu would do, he knew he was as good as dead if he had to rely on this jutsu, but he rolled to the side, the kunais that Ebisu threw cutting his bonds and he quickly got to his feet going with the momentum of the roll and drew his katana to deflect the last few flying kunai coming at him... "Why waste chakra when you're going to provide an easier escape?" He asked when Ebisu stopped attacking....

[Yuki]

None of the sensai's made any show of whether Yuki had succeeded or not, and Ebisu took him back to his seat...

Iruka walked up to Oki, kicking the sliced ropes to the way side... He held out the basket, and allowed Oki to pick her jutsu... On the paper she drew, it would read; kiwarimi...

[Oki]

Oki nodded and walked to the far end of the class room, placing her pack on the floor in a corner. She turns away from it and then strides up to the front of the room where she turns to face the class. Closing her eyes, she begins to confidently form her hand seals.

"Kiwarimi no jutsu!"

In a puff of smoke, Oki dissapears; as it clears, the back pack is in her place and she stands in a back corner of the class room.

[Yuki]

All the students were left in the classroom as Ebisu, Iruka, and Shikamaru exited....

After some time, the three of them returned with sturn looks on their faces.... First and foremost, Ebisu went up to Yuki and held out his hand...

Yuki knew what that meant... he had not done the final jutsu, he could not do that jutsu, no matter how hard he had trained... He failed.... Yuki took off the ANBU mask and handed it to Ebisu.... He would not be allowed to wear that anymore, and most likely had just lost any chance of ever joining the ANBU ranks...

Ebisu returned to the front of the class and nodded.

Iruka cleared his throat, and Shikamaru took out six forehead protectors.

Iruka: "As I call your name, come forward and recieve your forehead protector, and get into the group you are placed with... Team one: Team leader, Takara." He paused between each name to allow the students to revieve their prize... "Kuraudo.... Oki...." These people were directed to stand at the right hand side of the class room. "Team two: Team leader, Akira....." He pointed for Akira to stand on the left wall. "Kumori.... Cirrus..."

Ebisu interjected at this point... "Otomeken, your results of this exam are held until after your trial, you will not know if you have passed or failed until then..."

Iruka nodded and resumed.... "You six will meet your Juunin leaders outside this building tomorow morning at six o'clock. Be there, they are the ones who have the final say if you become official Genin or not.

As for the rest of you, you do not need to requalify for the exam. You may participate in tests if you wish for practice. But you already have your three tests, and you already qualify for the next exam when it comes up in a few months. This exam in dismissed. Congradulations to those who have passed, and all the best for the next time to the rest of you."
