No One's POV

After everyone turned in their applications and sat on their number seats, Ibiki explained the rules.

And Umiko sat next to...

Kabuto!

She groaned mentally 'Why?! Out of all people, why him?!'

"Begin!" Ibiki's voice ran through the air.

She lazily and slowly put her name on her paper.

うみこ

Umiko

She put her finger on the first question. And the second. And the third. And the fourth. She leaned back in her chair and crossed her hands over the back of her head.

'I know none of these' She bluntly thought.

She got comfortable in her seat 'Might as well cheat'

She put her hand on the table and heard and listened to the motion of Kabuto's pencil. She easily wrote them on her paper.

When she was done, she put her head on the desk 'I didn't get enough sleep this morning...'

She then fell asleep.

"Alright!"

Umiko slowly woke up and yawned. She stretched a bit.

"I will ask the tenth question!" Ibiki yelled.

Umiko straightened up.

"But first, you guys will have to choose whether or not you will take the 10th question!"

Naruto and Sasuke gasped.

"Wait, choose?!" Temari yelled "What happens if you chooses now to take the 10th exam?!"

"If you chooses whether or not to take the exam, then your score will be zero." Ibiki answered and smirked "In other words, you fail!"

"W-What does that mean?!"

"Of course, everybody is going to chooses to take the exam!"

"This is ridiculous! As if we have a choice!"

"And...one more rule..." Ibiki closed his eyes "If you chooses to take it and are unable to answer it correctly, then you will have to...relinquish your right of taking the Chuunin Exam forever."

'This is so annoying' Umiko thought.

Naruto gasped in disbelief.

"What kind of rule is that?!" Kiba stood up from his seat and pointed at him "Besides, there are plently of people here who have already taken the exams!" Akamaru barked in agreement.

Ibiki started to laugh " You're just unlucky. I make the rule this year. But I did give you the option to go back!"

Kiba was taken back.

"For those of you who aren't confident, you can chooses not to take it and take the exam next year or the year after that." He chuckled.

"Then let's begin..."

Silence filled the air as they waited.

"The tenth question...Those who will not be taking it, raise your hand!"

One by one, the room started to decrease.

Then, Sakura slowly started to raise her hand up. Umiko gritted her teeth.

'What are you doing?!' She thought.

She then stopped when Naruto's hand was up. He was gritting his teeth. Then he slammed it on the table.

"Don't underestimate me! I won't run!" He screamed "I'll take it! But even if I'm stuck being a genin forever, I will be hokage no matter what it takes!" He stood up "I'm not scared!"

Umiko smiled.

"I'll ask you again. It's a choice that will alter your life. This is yoir last chance" He waited but no one raised their hands from Naruto's words.

"I'm not taking back my words." Naruto smirked "That's my Ninja Way."

Ibiki then smiled "I like your determination! For those of you who are still here...for the first exams..."

Everyone waited.

"You have all passed."
