The written exam

Today is the day of the chunin exam so I got up bright and early. Me and my team decided to arrive a little earlier than the rest because I wanted to avoid the drama of naruto and the other teams. We met up at a convenience store and bought some food and placed it in our storage seals. Like hell am I not bringing some snacks to this. It's meant to last five days and unless I feel like it eating bugs it's not happening.

We also brought camping supplies, fresh water and some flares. The girls asked me why and I said in case this lasts a month and someone might poison the water. The flares are just for safety. They nodded so we made our way to the entrance. Even without knowing about the second floor trick we can bypass it easily. Didn't take a second.

Each off us had one of Hana's ninken on us so we can use them for cheating as their low pitched growling can be used to interpret between the three. The girls thought I was a genius for this method. I myself had pinkumaru as she smells like strawberries and we like the same jerky brand, inuzuka ninken are picky with their brands surprisingly although a higher quality animal means higher quality standard. When they learn to speak I can't wait to get into some food debates with them.

It's one of the things my team does to bond, it might not seem like much but it's good for us. Hana loves meat, Hinata loves Japanese traditional food, Kurenai likes wine and I like lots of stuff. We also love sweets though I'm most sure I can match their cake addiction as I like variety.

After making it to the meeting place we made our way to the corner to scope out the competition. I immediately had Hana and the pups mark the sound ninja with their scent. I want to take them out to make sure their attack is lower in a months time.

I spotted Kabuto lurking around and decided to sniff him. He's covered in snake pheromones which means Orochimaru is really teaching his student if you know what I mean. I guess it's true that snakes coil around each other to copulate. Hana noticed my disgusted expression and took a wiff herself. She noticed the male pheromones on him and also took a few steps back.

I could hear her making mental notes not to let me near him so I flicked her forehead. "Ooww, what was that for". I smirked "dirty thoughts get punished". She whimpered a little bit still smiled. A few minutes later the other Konoha 12 arrived so we made small talk. Hana tried to keep Hinata distracted as we don't want her passing out during this exam which would make us seem weak.

Kabuto appeared next to naruto and tried to do that card bullshit so I told the girls to back off he's making a performance as his sound buddies attacked him. Shikamaru picked it up as well and told ino and choji so they won't fall for it in the exam when he asks for help. Smart guy.

Of course the pink banshee didn't notice, the duck butt uchiha acted emo and naruto is an idiot. Ibuki appeared and gave his little speech about the exam.

I entered and was segregated from my team, I took in a smell that made me dizzy. Too much graphite in the room. The pencils are made out of it and it stinks to high heaven. Might have to wear a face mask. Pinku nibbles me signalling she found the jounin examiner so we copied him. Her leg hitting my shoulder indicates which letter is the answer to multiple choice.

She licked me to show that the other two are doing well. After doing a little more of the test I noticed how the other were cheating and decided to mess with them. I took some senbon from my waist and aimed for the stuff I could see. One flew and hit tenten's mirror contraption cracking the glass so she couldn't get a good view.

Another hit sasukes desk at a piece of chalk conveniently placed there making some dust go into his eyes disabling his Sharingan. I did the same to neji as I'm pissed at him for mistreating Hinata. We helped her patch up her relationship with hanabi here but this guy out right rejects everything that's isn't his "destiny". I watched him cough drawing the examiners attention then aimed for kankuro's finger with a thin senbon.

He's walking in from the bathroom with his doll examiner so I hit one of his fingers making the doll stumble slightly like it's about to fall and break apart. I also hit gaara's sand eye and a few of shino's bugs.

They all are looking for who is messing with them. The examiners are chuckling covertly as they realise what I'm doing. Being a ninja means that someone might sabotage your work so being able to deal with it is a part of the job. One by one people were leaving and the clock was ticking down.

Ibuki had another speech about the tenth question but I just ignored it and ruffled pinkumaru's fur earning happy panting for myself. My team knows that we can handle it so did nothing as the chumps backed out over the threat of being stuck a genin.

He announced that we passed and everyone had the sam reactions as canon. Anko busts through the window and makes the same speech but looks at me and smiles. I walk up to her and bumped fists.

"Nice to see you dango buddy" "you too kid, lucky you having me for your exam". I chuckled "yeah lucky me". I pulled her close and whispered in her ear "I smell a dangerous snake here, check the sounds". She got serious and then chuckled and started talking about dango so as to not give away her knowledge.

I know about her last as we are dango buddies. That and her as well as yugao are always at my place drinking with Kurenai. They love our cooking so often come around after a mission. I saw Orochimaru dresses as the grass ninja and tried to memorise his smell. It's horrible, smells of snakes, insects, chemicals and corpses. That freak needs a shower.

I went to my team mates and told them to watch out as we got ready for the next part of the exam
