Once all the teams arrived in Konoha things started to heat up as it was time for the first exam to begin. The first exam was as I expected taking pce within the academy as a writte or at least that was how it looked from the surface. I could tell however that there were yers involved that went beyond that. The first was that the [false surroundings] jutsu had been minorly applied to the umbers to fuse the genin into going to the wrong room and thus getting disqualified.-

  The sed yer was the writte itself that held many questions that were well beyond the Genin level and thus a sort of challenge in and of themselves. The third yer was that the exam was actually a test of how sneaky these genin could be as there was an implied hint that they should cheat to pass. The final yer however was the most hirious in my opinion as it was simply that the writte itself was bullshit and only the question that the instructor asked at the end of the time that mattered.-

  Those that didn't answer all failed without exception but Naruto being the person he was ended up ing way more teams into passing than the vilges anticipated. A total of twenty six teams in fact which caused the sed exam to be made harsher to pehe sed exam started almost immediately and was a survival game with a few yers to it. The first was that each team got a single scroll that beloo a set of two, the heaven scroll and the earth scroll. Sed no matter how things went there would at most only be thirteen teams advang as each team needed both scrolls to pass.-

  The third yer was that this test was set to take p the forest of death and that each person participating had to sign a death and injury waiver. While the exam had people watg over the partits to avoid death as much as possible the ce was still very much present. Something rather funny was that this exam was taking pce smack dab in the middle of my territory with my home being in the dead ter of this pce. Obviously i was told to vacate the building for the exam but that didn't mean that the teams from Konoha wouldn't have an unfair advantage since my home was well known to most of them.-

  While only Naruto, Shino and Kiba k's exact location that was more than enough as that meant so long as they didn't fight on sight the two teams that had them in it could shack up there during the exam rather than roughing it in the wilds. Something that I personally heard Shikamaru pin about. Yeah I was totally stealthing it up in the nearby shadows watg this whole thing go down. Not that anyone knew since I was cloaked in natural energy that made me o impossible to spot.-

  Speaking of hard to spot people there were some in a disguise that was definitely NOT a Genin. Their head band said they were part of Kusagakure but my senses said otherwise. First off was that while at first gheir chakra looked normal and thus easy to miss with the Byakugan a closer iion showed that that was a lie. The chakra was actually sealed and suppressed down to that size unnaturally and thus had a certain "feel" to it that said it's true size was much rger.-

  There was also this sort o one person that made me wary of them on an instinctual basis. It was hard to expin really but it was like their body and soul didn't belong to the same person and were disharmonious. Moving on from that weirdness we came to the st yer of this sed exam, the trap. The person in charge of this exam said that the teams had to report to the tower in the forest in three days with both scrolls in order to pass, what wasn't said however was that there was nothing stopping the teams from going there immediately and just jag aeams scrolls.-

  This turhis exam into a full on hostile frontation type deal as you now had to worry about preserving your strength to fend off those hidihe tower at the end of these three days. Naturally like always you could finish the exam early if you could get a pair of scrolls and make your way to the tower before the time limit. Unfortuhat was as far as I could personally watch the exam as the Hokage had been ing and requested my presen the political booth to represent my sensei as her disciple.-

  I couldly say her as the old man had not so subtly implied that he had promised my preseo the Daimyo of Fire who was eager to meet me apparently. As a shinobi of the leaf that meant I was all but forced to attend or risk angering the backer of the vilge which was definitely NOT something I wao do. I pted sending one of my mitosis es sihey are fully solid and nearly impossible to notice. The old man had cut off that pn however when he revealed one of the anbu with him to be a Hyuga.-

  With a bit of unwillingness I walked into the political booth before the start of the sed exam in person.

  "Ah just ere discussing! Kenzo I'd like to introduce you to Kenji Madoka-sama, the lord daimyo of the nd of fire." the hokage said with a gentle smile while holding his hand out ft towards the other man with him.

  The man had a long but chubby fad bnd dull brown hair and eyes that rested on a bnk expressioned face.

  'He's so weak though?' I thought in fused as I sized the man supposedly holding the power to disband Konoha should he choose.

  It was hard to equate the word power with this man at all as his body was untrained and over fed, he had pitiful amounts of chakra and he was seemingly oblivious to the fact that nearly everyone in this room besides him owerful killer. He reminded me of a particurly retarded panda and as a result I really couldn't my mind around him being in and of anything much less aire try.

  "A pleasure to make your acquaintance sir." I said with a friendly smile without letting my true thoughts slip out at all.

  "I was quite surprised to hear that Tsunade- had taken another appre after hearing about your medical skill from so many sources I feel it was a truly wise decision." the man smiled lightly and said in a slow mahat grated on my ears like nails to chalkboards.
