Chapter 28

                                    

                                          
I decided to post a new chapter once a month if you guys don't mind
                          
"Let's go find a seat." Akihiko said. 
                          
"Do you think they'll give us assigned seats?" I asked. Yeah, yeah, I already know the answer to this. 
                          
"I'm not sure.. it depends how the test will be." Akihiko said. 
                          
"That makes no sense!" I said as we sat down. 
                          
I sat in the seat tapping my foot against the seat in front of me when I heard Naruto shout. 
                          
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki! I won't lose to you bastards! You got that?" 
                          
"Ohh boy.." I sighed under my breath. 
                          
The entire room went silent before everyone and their brother started talking about how much of an idiot Naruto is. 
                          
Suddenly, the sound of a fight broke out. 
                          
I stood on top of the desk to see what was going on. I can't help it I'm short and can't see anything. 
                          
Right when I looked over to see what happened where Naruto was, Kabuto was throwing up. 
                          
"Oh.. yay..." I said as I sat back down in my seat. 
                          
"What's going on?" Himari asked me. 
                          
"Oh, ya know, nothing.. just saw someone throwing up.." I said as I sank into my seat. 
                          
Ugh... 
                          
When everyone in the room continued to talk even more, a cloud of smoke appeared.
                          
When the smoke faded, that one guy, Ibiki, and those other guys appeared. 
                          
"Finally! I was starting to get bored!" I cheered. 
                          
Everyone in the room, besides me, looked uneasy. I already know what's going to happen, so I was completely calm. 
                          
Ibiki seemed to, like, scold those Sound guys for starting fights and how fights are prohibited. 
                          
I looked over at Himari and Akihiko, and they seemed calm and uneasy at the same time. 
                          
I nudged them. 
                          
"Don't worry, guys! We'll be fine!" I whispered with a smile. 
                          
More uneasiness swept the room. 
                          
"We will now start the first test of the Chunin exams. Instead of your current seating arrangements," Ibiki said as he pulled out pieces of paper with a numbers on them. "You will pick one of these tab and sit where you'll be assigned. Then, we'll hand out the exam." 
                          
The room went silent. 
                          
"A paper test?" I heard Naruto say. 
                          
Poor guy.. don't worry, I don't like paper tests either.. 
                          
We all went up one by one. I got number 5. That's, like, in the front. Oh.. yay.. 
                          
I sat in my seat, like everyone else, and Ibiki walked up to the chalkboard we were all facing. 
                          
"Do not turn your tests over. Listen close to what I'm about to say." Ibiki began. "There are many important rules to the first test. I'll write them on the board as I explain, but questions will not be allowed, so listen carefully." 
                          
"What? No questions?" I heard the guy next to me whisper.
                          
"The first rule, you guys will start off with ten points. The test is made up of ten points and each one is worth one point, but this test uses a subtraction system." 
                          
Why don't I remember this test being this confused? 
                          
"Basically if you answer all the questions correctly, you keep your ten points, but if you miss three questions, you lose three points and will have seven." Ibiki explained as he wrote on the board. 
                          
"The second rule is that this is a team test. whether you pass or not will be determined by the combined score of your teammates. So, each team will compete to see how many points they can hold on to from the initial team total of thirty." 
                          
And then, everyone seems to be panicking. 
                          
"Wait a minute!" Sakura said. "I don't understand the initial point system either, but why is it a team test?" 
                          
"Shut up, you don't have a right to question me. There's a reason for this; be quiet and listen." Ibiki said. 
                          
"Yikes.. but, how long is this going to go on?" I thought. 
                          
"Okay, now for the most important rule. The third rule is that during the exam, anyone caught by the testing officers doing sneaky activities, specifically cheating, will have two points subtracted for every offense." 
                          
"Oh!" Sakura said. She's, like, a couple rows behind me, so I'm surprised I can hear her talking at a normally volume. 
                          
"So, there'll be some who will lose all of their points during the exam and will be asked to leave." 
                          
"We'll have our eyes on you guys." one of the chunin said, I think Kotetsu was his name? 
                          
"Realize that the pathetic ones that get caught cheating will be destroying themselves. As shinobi trying to achieve the level of chunin, be proud ninjas." Ibiki said. 
                          
"I feel like people are going to find the first part slightly offensive.." I thought as I rested on head in my hand. 
                          
"Now for the final rule. Those that lose all of their points during the test and those that don't answer those correctly, will be failed along with their two teammates." 
                          
Ohh!! I remember this next part! But, poor Naruto... 
                          
"The exam will last one hour. Begin!" Ibiki finally said. 
                          
Everyone flipped over their paper in unison. 
                          
I already know that I don't have to fill out any of the questions, so I can just sit here and doodle for an hour.. Wait... that sounds incredible long and boring. What else could I do though? 
                          
I heard a couple pencils moving, but not a lot. I guess a lot of people are stuck. 
                          
I looked at the paper, and the questions don't make any sense to me. I'm not the smartest or dumbest. Is dumbest a word? I'm pretty sure it is. 
                          
I kind of think that being in school might be more fun than sitting here unable to do nothing because one: I don't want to be kicked out, and two: the questions don't make any sense. At least at school, I can talk to people throughout class and stuff. 
                          
As I sat here thinking of stuff, I suddenly wanted to remember what I did this morning. 
                          
Didn't I go train with Akihiko and Himari for a while? Why does my bad memory have to kick in now? 
                          
When I was starting to think deeply and what I've done since I've been here, someone next to Sakura stood up. 

                          
"Umm.. I'd like to know something." they began. "Just how many teams will pass this test?" 
                          
Ibiki chuckled (Kind of creeped me out to be honest). 
                          
"It's not like knowing will help you, or do you want to be disqualified?" 
                          
"Geez, bro! What's wrong with wanting to know? Perhaps other people were wondering." I thought rolling my eyes. I totally would've said it aloud, but I don't want to get disqualified for saying something 'offending'. 
                          
Gosh.. people, ya know?
