Naruto : Uchiha : Chapter 22
(Timeskip 2 years)
Konoha Ninja Academy
"Alright kids, this is the final day for the second semester. The testing done today with all of you will go on your report cards, so please take this seriously…" the teacher spoke, his voice and eyes pointedly glaring at a certain blonde haired kunoichi of his who merely stuck her tongue out at the man for pointing at him specifically.
let out a tired sigh and picked the stack of papers on his desk, starting to distribute them all around the class.
Naruto took the paper from the instructor, putting it down on his desk with the blank side facing him as was instructed to them and waited patiently on his desk, his fingers crossed in front of his mouth with an almost peaceful aura surrounding him.
The instructor stood in front of the class, glancing at the clock to see it was almost time and spoke up as soon as the second hand of the clock hit 12.
"You may begin." his voice rang through the silence of the room. Naruto flipped the test around, his eyes working their way through the questions furiously to see if there was anything that would trouble him. And much to his relief there wasn't anything of that caliber, instead it seemed a little easy to him.
His baby blue eyes glanced to the side, to see Sakumo raring past the test like an enraged bull and he snickered softly at the boy who seemed like he would burn straight through the paper in a few moments. Then he glanced up front into the second row from the front where his blonde friend sat and he let out a soft sigh from his lips.
"I'm doomed, Kaa-san is going to kill me for this!" Tsunade cried in her head, fantasizing what kind of punishments would be levied out on her for failing this stupid test. She hated history with a passion, what were they going to do with knowing who became the Shodaime Tsuchikage after all? That guy was most probably dead for crying out loud.
Now anatomy and biology were cool, she always aced those tests. It just intrigued her so much and she would be able to know more about the workings about the human body with that. Not learn about some stupid guy who has been dead for decades and haunting her right life right now.
She pulled out her hair in frustration, how could she have fallen asleep when she had finally decided to get to studying for this last night? Oh that's right, it was so boring that she had fallen asleep quicker than listening to a lullaby.
And she didn't even want to know what her granduncle was going to say when he heard of this, which he most probably would.
"I shouldn't be doing this…" Naruto sighed softly but in the end the temptation to do something for her was too much. Plus, shinobi didn't play fair, that at least put some of his guilt at rest for doing this.
He flicked out a kunai when the instructor was listening to a student's doubts regarding a question, for which he was quite glad right now. He saw the small amount of blank space at the bottom end of the paper and smiled a small smile, brushing his hand through his silky hair coming onto his eyes to seem totally normal to everyone around him.
He channeled some chakra into it while it was right above his lap, the kunai hummed a little making him quite nervous and glance up to see no one had noticed and quickly cut a straight line on the bottom end of the paper.
The kunai cut cleanly through it as if a machined cut, leaving no evidences that he had tampered with it and pocketed his kunai again, picking his pencil up to start working on 'two' of his tests.
He ticked all the multiple choice questions one by one with relative ease, whizzing past them and writing down the answers at the bottom of the cleanly cut paper to some of the rest of them. The teacher walked up, looking about the class and stopped by Naruto's side.
His eyes narrowed in on the boy's paper, quite specifically, the bottom half of it. Naruto was barely containing his nervousness and kept going through ticking the questions so as to not rouse any attention from the examiner for their test right now.
"Hey kid…" he called, placing a hand over his shoulder making him stiffen and give the man a nervous smile.
"Hai sensei?" he asked, afraid that the teacher might have caught onto him when the teacher pointed to the small scribbles jotted down on the bottom half of his sheet.
"This is an official Academy test to be graded by the educational authorities, rub off your little notes before you hand the test in or you might get some marks deducted for that." he pointed out and went down the stairs to keep his gaze on all the students.
Naruto let out a sigh in relief and continued working on both his tests quickly and efficiently.
The cut was made so clean that the teacher hadn't noticed it and he was glad for that right now. His training was paying off in spades right now.
He put his pencil down as soon as the last question on it was answered and looked up to see Tsunade with with her hands over her head while her chin rested on her desk, no doubt still lost as to what she would do now. He slid the small slip from the bottom of the test out and put it over his lap, held between his index and middle fingers.
His eyes glanced to the instructor to wait for him to get into the perfect position for him to do this. His eyes narrowed calculatingly when the man reached the far end of the other corner and his back turned to him.
"Perfect, he's in a blind spot. There's no way he'll see this…" he thought, a smirk now adorning his lips as the slip in between his fingers hummed and straightened like a slim sheet of metal when chakra coursed through it and he flicked it expertly towards his target with a flick of his wrist.
CLACK…
Tsunade looked up startled when a slip of paper embedded into her desk like a shuriken with it's corner engulfed deep in the wood. A moment later it lost it's sharp edges and fell down like a simple slip of paper that she quickly slid down onto her lap before someone saw it. She looked to her side to see her partner too nervous to notice and turned her honey eyes down to her lap.
...
Question one - Land of Gold.
Question five - Samurais are only found in the Land of Iron.
Question seven - Fire Daimyo is protected by twelve of his hand picked shinobi called the Twelve Guardian Ninja.
Question ten - The Water Country has an additional branch in their black ops instated by the Shodai Mizukage to hunt down renegade shinobi of their village called the Hunter Ninjas of the Kiri's ANBU Black Ops.
Note : Start studying history, it isn't that boring and I won't always be there to save you…
- Naru
...
Tsunade crushed the small slip of paper in her palms, pocketing it quickly. She bit her lip and turned her eyes to the back only to see Naruto gazing out the window and seemingly done with the test, no doubt at some bird's nest he had found interesting.
She saw his lone eye glance at her for only a moment, his lips adorning a small smirk before he turned his eyes back outside while his chin rested lazily on his palm.
She looked down onto her paper and let out a soft smile, he was always looking out for her no matter what just like he always did. Whether she asked her or not she knew he was watching her, like he always said.
"I've got eyes on you Tsuna" in his soft yet playful voice to her whenever she was hard pressed in some tough situation.
And he would give her that Kami annoying poke to her forehead as if she was a spoilt child in his eyes when he would pull through a trick of some kind, which she most probably was in his eyes.
She quickly jotted down the answers he had sent for her seeing how little time she had left. As soon as she had finished the last answer a voice was heard throughout the Academy.
RRRRIIIINNNNGGGG….
The bell rang, marking the end of the test and the instructor stood fast in front of the desk looking at all his students firmly.
"Alright time's up, pencil's down…" he called out, getting all students to obey.
"Now come up one by one and put your tests here on my desk face down and you can go for the accuracy and weapons tests outside." he called out an everyone did so.
