Chapter 23: Let's Begin the Exams!

"Oh, you know their names. No sweat, then!" he quickly swipes out three cards and Sasuke asks to see them.

"First up is Rock Lee. He's a year older then you gys, Missions: twenty D Ranks. eleven C Ranks. His sensei is Might Gai... And his Taijutsu skill have grown exponentially this past year. He has no other talents worth mentioning. Last year he gained attention as a talented new genin, but he didn't participate in the chunin exams. This is his first time taking the Chunin Exams, same as you guys. His teammates are Hyuga Neji and Tenten."

"Next is Gaara of the Sand. Missions: eight C Ranks, 1 B Rank. Wow, he did one of the B Rank missions as a genin... He's a shinobi from a different land and he's a rookie, so there's no further information about him, but... It seems he has returned from all of his missions uninjured."

Sasuke and Naruto seemed unnerved at that last bit of information.

"And Lastly is Jeanne Skylark, your teammate, let's see... She has completed 28 D Ranks, one B Rank and... One A Rank!? How can a genin have an A Rank mission...?" Jeanne decided to speak up.

"Ah, That's probably our C Rank turned A Rank in wave were we encountered Zabuza Momochi." she says casually, shocking a few people there.

"Okay then... Her skills are namely focused in Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu, along with a Jutsu she created that makes swords of fire that can clash with real blades, which is highly impressive, however she shows a low talent for Genjutsu."

'That's because I don't bother with fake realities when I can change it with my Reality Marbles...' she grumbled to herself in her mind.

"And it says here in my notes... She managed to somehow befriend both Zabuza, an A Rank Missing Nin, and The Deathly Healer, an S Rank Missing Nin!?" now alot of people were looking at her.

'Great... now I have a target on my head...' she sighs before speaking, "I wouldn't say befriend with Zabuza, more so a respect for a fellow swordsman, but with the Deathly Healer we are on friendly terms... I think."

"That's amazing, What's he like?" Jeanne looks confused, "Uh... hyper, childish, casual even in a fight and likes a fair fight, he didn't tell me his name (I got it through observe anyway) but he's a pretty alright person if you're on his good side."

Kabuto nods before looking at his card again, "Wow there is alot of notes... Mind if I speed run the rest?" she shrugs, "Alright, shortly after graduating she aided in stopping a Rogue Ninja in stealing an important scroll from Konoha, in which she lost her left eye, during her C turned A rank mission she suffered a great injury to her stomach that was fortunately healed by the Deathly Healer... and has a Bingo Book entry."

"Wait, I have an entry in the Bingo Book?" this was news to her, Kabuto reaches into his pouch and pulls out a convenient Bingo Book, "Yep, wanna hear what it says?" she shrugs, curiosity getting the better of her.

"Let's see... Jeanne Skylark, Title: Demoness of swords, Ninja Rank: Genin, Threat level: B Rank? Interesting... Long blonde hair and one blue eye, Skills: high Kenjutsu and Ninjutsu - as I said before - and notable things she's done is go against the Deathly Healer one on one and survived the encounter-" "Wait!"

They turn to Naruto, "You didn't tell me he was trying to kill you!" Jeanne looked at him like he was stupid, "Not to the death, I believe it was his way of introducing himself, as during the fight the both of us exchanged small talk to get to know each other."

...

"As I was saying, and her bounty..." Jeanne looks confused, people wanted her dead?

"20,000,000 Ryo dead or alive by Iwa." he finishes...

...

'Okay... think, why does Iwa hate me? because of Deathly Healer? No, doubt it, but possible. Maybe it's-' she face palms, "Oh god damn it..."

"What is it Jeanne?" Naruto ask, "The Iwa ninja probably have so much hate even after the Yondaime's death that if anyone even looked like him and was skilled they'd want to kill them to prevent another Yondaime." she says deadpanned, making some of the ninja's understand now.

"Actually, now that I think about it, I kinda look like a younger, female Yondaime... What do you think Naruto?" she turns to him, which he thinks for a moment, "Yeah, kinda, expect when your hair and eyes change colours when you suddenly get stronger."

She shrugs, "eh, I grew up with my parents out of Konoha, so I doubt I'm the Yondaime's daughter." she only now just realised she was feeding people more info and possible reasons to try killing her.

She looks at Naruto for a moment, seamlessly in thought, "What...?" Naruto was nervous, making her look away.

"Nothing, just a thought I had, I'll think on it later after the exams."

After that, a poof appears at the front of the room, "Quiet down, you green-nosed brats!" suddenly the smoke clears to reveal a bunch of chunin and...

"Zabuza!?" Jeanne called out in shock, the member of the seven swordsman of the mist looks at her, "Hey brat, great to see you again." he coughs into his hand, "sorry to keep you guys waiting... I'm Zabuza Momochi, the examiner for the first test of the chunin exam..."

People were panicking since most knew of his reputation, but Jeanne saw that he seemed... calmer then the bloodthirst missing nin he was before...

"Alright, this first exam is simple, no more fighting without express permission of the examining officers. and if granted, no endangering another applicant's life, got that? anyone who breaks that rule will instantly be disqualified. No second chances..."

A Sudden blood-lust emanate from Zabuza, "Do I make myself clear here?" no one said anything in fear of pissing off the demon of the bloody mist.

"We will now begin the first part of the chunin exams. Turn in your written applications, take one of these seating assignment cards..." he pulls out a piece of paper with the number one on it, "And report directly to the seat indicated. When everyone's seated, we'll pass out the written part of the test."

A moment of silence, "A- A- Paper test?!" Naruto was yet again being Naruto...

After getting their seats and everyone sat down, Jeanne listens to Zabuza, "There are a few major rules that you need to know for this part of the exam. I'll write them up on this blackboard and explain them. but there will be no questions, so listen carefully. I will only say this once."

"Rule number one! each participate starts with ten points. there are ten questions in the test, each worth one point. For each question wrong you loose a point, simple, right?" he gives everyone two examples on how it works to make it clear.

"Rule number two, this written test is still a team event. passing or failure is determined by the total points all three members of each cell. The objective is for each team to have as few deductions as possible from it's joint thirty point total." after some silence he continues.

"Rule number three, if, during the duration of the exam, a candidate does anything out of the ordinary... in more common words, anything that leads us proctors to determine that he or she has cheated... we subtract two points off each member of the cheaters team." he finishes writing on the board.

"In all probability, some of you will run through your entire allowance of points through this test. If so, you and your team will have to pack your shit and leave." Jeanne held in a laugh, that was very Zabuza like.

"I'll be looking over your shoulders when you least expect it, heh." they look at Kotetsu, who had a smug grin on his face.

Some people were panicking, probably because they all had some person on their team that was an idiot, "If you let the proctors catch you cheating, you'll bring yourself and your friends down! if you wanna become Chunin... if you want to be the best ninja you can... then you'd better start acting like you already are!"

"One more thing... If any individual loses all ten of his or her points, that person's entire team, regardless of how the other two members do... will be disqualified!"

Everyone looks shocked by this instead of the more stoic ones, and her, after the shock Zabuza speaks up one last time, "You have one hour. Starting... NOW!" everyone flips their pages and writes their name at the top before going onto the questions.

'Oh wow, Cryptograpy is first... yeah no, that ain't happening.' she goes to the second question, she wasn't even going to attempt the math there...

A few minutes of reading later, she was able to manage one of the questions easily, which was a 'how to create jutsu' process, which since she technically made one before, if she just wrote down how she did it they'd have to believe her due to her experience in the field.

'And now comes the difficult part, cheating for the answers.' she looks at everyone and saw a few participates already done while people only now just started to cheat, so she found her targets... now how to get the answers...?

'Wait, I got it!' she leans back and pretends to be in thought while the tiniest poof happened under her desk, it wasn't even audible and she hid the smoke with her legs so proctors didn't see it, suddenly a fly flies out from her desk and buzzes around her softly, she tries to swipe at it but it dodges before flying off towards one of the chunin.

'You've got to love Shadow Clones... mixed with my Eldritch anatomy I can make any creature with my Clones...' she sighs as her (fake) target gets away before looking back at the questions in thought, only about 5 minutes have passed.

Her Shadow clone fly goes into the vent and created seven more of itself, each of which would memories each question and dispel one at a time every 4 to 6 minutes to make it seem like she was working on them throughout the test to hide suspicion.

By the end she got all the answer written down and had five minutes to spare for the tenth question at the 45 minute mark, when suddenly she felt a tug on her consciousness.

'Ah... I see... Since Sakura isn't here she's going with the next best thing.' she closed her eyes and let her mind drift, since she knows how this will go.

She appears inside her mind, an odd amalgamation of Unlimited Blade Works and Unlimited Void World, it was ever changing, she turned to face Ino, who looked increasingly surprised.

"Ah, hey Ino, how ya doing?" she asked in a friendly tone, "I see you were trying to get into my mind, now we can't have that, can we?" she raised her hand and swords came forth, "While I don't have too much control over this while in my mind, I have enough to force you out of it."

She fires them forward before Ino disappears and Jeanne wakes up again, all of that took only a second in the real world.

She waits a few minutes before Zabuza speaks up, "Alright, it's time for the tenth question!" everyone pays attention to him, "And before we get to the question itself... I'm adding one more new rule." in the moment of shock Kankuro comes back from the bathroom break.

After a short talk Zabuza continues, "Let me explain. This rule... Is absolute."

A short pause before he continues, "First... you must choose... Whether to accpet or reject this tenth question!" now the genin were confused.

"Ch-Choose? What happens if someone doesn't accept the question?!" Temari asked him, making him continue.

"If you reject the question and don't even try to answer it, you'll lose all your points instantly and fail, obviously. And both of your teammates will rail right along with you."

"Say what?!"

"Then why would anyone choose to reject it?"

Zabuza speaks up, "Because... of the other rule." everyone stays quiet, "If you try to answer the question, but get it wrong... you will never be permitted to apply for the next Chunin exams again, not ever."

Kiba was the first to speak, "You can't be serious. That's ridiculous! There are ninja here who've sat for the chunin exams more than once already! We know there are!"

Zabuza let's out a maniac like laughter, "Just your rotten lick. I wasn't making the rules in past years... I am now."

Zabuza shrugs, "I've been up front with everyone here. You can take a failing grade and try again later. Anyone who has doubts would be smart to reject the tenth question right now. Come back and reapply next year and the year after that."

After a few moments of silence for people to think, he speaks once more, "Ready? Then let's begin. Those who choose not to accept should raise their hands. Once their number has been confirmed, they will leave the room."

A few moments of silence pass before a man with a goatee stands up, "I-I... I quit! I'm rejecting the question! Genna! Inaho! Please forgive me!"

"Number 50! Failed!"

"Number 130! Number 111! You fail right along with him." two people stand up and exit the room.

"M-me too!"

"Me too..."

"I-I'm Sorry, guys!"

"I quit, too!"

"Me too..."

Jeanne looks at Naruto shaking for a moment before his hand shoots up, shocking Sasuke and Hinata, but before anything is said he slams it onto the table.

"Never underestimate me! I don't quit, and I won't run! I'll accept your stupid question! Even if I risk ending up a rookie for the rest of my life... I'll still become Lord Hokage, even if I can only make it by pure stubbornness. I don't care!"

Zabuza looks at the kid for a moment before speaking, "I'll ask one last time. This is a decision that could affect the rest of your life. Quit now, while you still have a chance, brat." Naruto grins at him.

"I never go back on my word. Cussedness is part of my shinobi skill set!" Jeanne smirks at Naruto, there are some things she'd never want to change about that lovable idiot she calls a brother.

"Good call. So, everyone who is still here..." a moment of pause to add suspense, "You've just passed the first exam!"

After a freak out from everyone and Zabuza explaining everything and congratulating everyone on making it pass the first exam before suddenly one of the windows suddenly shatters as a person covered in cloth appears, from inside two Kunai fly out and stick to the ceiling and Anko Mitarashi stands before the sign which read 'Newly arrived second chief command officer.'

"None of you are in any position to celebrate. I am the second chief examination officer... Mitarashi Anko! Time's a-wastin' people. Let's go! Follow me!"

...

Even Jeanne was slightly stunned, not something people can do often...

"Read the mood Anko-san..." Zabuza states from around the curtain, making Anko blush.

"Seventy-eight of you are still here?! Zabuza! You passed twenty six teams?! you went way too easy on them!" she states while slightly glaring at Zabuza, "We have applicants of exceptional calibre."

"Yeah, right. I'll cut down the number by half before the next test is done." people looked abit shocked by the information but stay quiet.

"Ooh! I get charged up just thinking about it! I'll explain things in detail as soon as we move to our next location... So follow me!" everyone leaves after her and Zabuza starts to pick up the exam papers.

"Hmm... Let's see what Jeanne got... All correct and... hmm?" he looks at a note taped to the back, he decides to open it as it said 'to zabuza'.

'Dear Zabuza,

If you are reading this, then you did what I thought and checked my exam to see how well I did, but nevermind that.

That Genin, Kabuto I believe his name was, had classified information such as mission records that were meant to be kept under wraps, like the mission I had involving Mizuki the traitor, I believe Kabuto has access to sensitive information and should be investigated further.

I'll see what I can get out of him in the second exam if I meet with him, as it is a survival exam, I'll ask under the guise of being interested in information gathering.

P.S: lose the bandages, you're more scary with the sharp teeth.'

"Heh... Damn brat..." he goes to give the note to the Hokage, as he could do more with the information then him.

The genin who passed the second exam look at the large gate separating where they were to the forest beyond it, Anko looks at them in psychotic glee, "This is the arena for the second exam: Training ground 44. Also known as the forest of death!"

"And you're about to find out firsthand... why they call this the 'forest of death'." Jeanne tried supressing a laugh but failed, causing a Kunai to sail past her face and graze her cheek.

Anko appears behind her, "the ones who think this is a game are always the first to go. she tried to lick the blood but the moment she comes into contact with it it seems to burn her tongue, confusing her but rolling with it.

"Spilling all that rich, red, lovely, luscious blood..." a moment later she grabs another Kunai and points it to her back, Jeanne looks and lightly glares at the disguised Orochimaru using a tongue of all things to hand a Kunai back to Anko, "Your Kunai Knife... I believe you dropped it."

"Gee... Thanks." a moment passes, "Don't just stand behind me... Radiating Bloodlust... Unless you're in a hurry to die." Anko finishes.

"I'll try to keep it under control... But the sight of warm, fresh blood really makes me crazy... And I was already revved up from losing a strand of my precious hair." the Lady disguised Snake spoke while placing their tongue back in there mouth.

Jeanne hovers here hand over her cheek and burns it to cauterise the wound, it'll heal by the end of the five days.

"There's something I have to hand out!" she starts paying attention to Anko again as she pulls a large stack of consent forms.

"They're consent forms. Everybody has to sign one." Naruto decided to ask why, "We want all the details covered before the first deaths occur. Sign before you go in, so we can't be held liable. You wouldn't want me to get in trouble, would you?" she said that with an honest smile on her face.

"First, I'll explain what the second exam entails. Then you can sign the forms. With the other two members of your cell, bring the forms to the hut behind you and submit them."

She begins going into detail about the second exam, it was a no-holds-barred survival test, how the forest was bordered and the gates, the tower at the centre that was about ten kilometres from the gates, and that they could use any ninja arts or weapons they had, that it was a fight to the death version of capture the scroll, which she promptly showed everyone.

"There's a 'scroll of heaven' and 'scroll of earth'... and your objective is to acquire both scrolls." she continues to explain that half of the teams will get an earth and the other half an heaven scroll, but they need both to pass and they had to bring them to the tower at the centre.

"So that's why you said you'll cut us down by half..." Jeanne states calmly, "You bet! And there's a time limit! You have 120 hours which to complete this exam - Exactly five days!" now Ino and Chouji shortly complained about the duration of the exam.

Anko goes back to explaining about the forest and the exam for abit before getting to the rules.

They were simple, no team that looses a member due to death or injury may pass, once they were in, they can't leave until the time limit is up, how they weren't allowed to look at the scrolls contents until they reach the tower, and explaining the reason for this, that was Chunin they may be entrusted with top=secret documents.

"That's all the explanation you get. We'll trade one scroll for every three forms. When you've got yours, choose the gate you want to start from. everyone will begin at the same time.

After some thinking, the three signs their forms and hand it in, Naruto and Sasuke were about to say they'll handle the scroll, but Jeanne just pockets it and makes it go into her inventory.

"Huh? Oi, Jeanne. I want the scroll." Jeanne smirks at him, "Alright, if you find it, you keep it." after a few moments he gives up and they follow their proctor to gate 12.

They decide to run in for a few moments before stopping at the loud scream they heard, Jeanne looks of towards gate 16, "Hmm, it seems teams have already encountered each other... We should stick together." they agree but instantly Naruto speaks up, "Uhh... I gotta take a leak..." Jeanne sighs before turning to Naruto, "Alright, We'll go with you."

They look at her in shock, "We have no idea if ninja will find Naruto and take his place, I simply wish to prevent such a thing from happening." they nod before Naruto goes around a tree, his clothes barely visible for them.

Jeanne hears a rustle in the trees and grabs a Kunai and throws it past where Naruto was, "AHH!" a sudden scream of pain emitted that wasn't Naruto, so the two run to him and got a weapon out each as they servery the area, they look at the body she just found, with a Kunai in it's neck.

"Wow... that's some deadly accuracy you've got Jeanne." Sasuke had to admit that she was skilled with a Kunai when she couldn't see a target.

Little did he know, she saw the target perfectly, but he didn't need to know that.

They have a sit down after Naruto fully finished and talked, "If we hadn't stuck together we could of been jumped by that ninja if he disguised as Naruto, so we need to think of a password so that doesn't happen."

Jeanne nods, she glances around and sees a pipe sticking out of the ground but ignores it, Sasuke goes on about a poem, and gave a ridiculously long answer, which both Jeanne and Naruto say the exact same thing.

"You expect me to remember that?" they look at each other before silently laughing, after a moment she feels the presense of Orochimaru leave, kind of hard to miss since she felt the Magic in a person, not their chakra.

'It still surprises me that everyone has magic, but it's just locked... Helps that they don't know it exist or how to hide it...' she glances at Sasuke, "Alright, the eaves dropper is gone, the password is 'Eldritch', short and simple for Naruto's sake. no complaining."

They stand up and was about to walk off before suddenly a mass of wind picks up, "A new enemy?!"

"NO, IT'S MY PIZZA DELIV- OF COURSE IT'S AN ENEMY!" Jeanne yelled back before, much to her surprise, both her and Naruto get launched off, her much farther then Naruto did.

'Huh... Fat load of good Wind Resistance did... Well... It's only the damage, nothing about the fact it can push me...' she focuses once more before landing on her feet, she looks in the direction of where she came from before making 20 shadow clones, "All of you are to go out and keep an eye on the battle, but don't be seen at all, pop around ten seconds before Sasuke is given the curse mark so I can get back. Make sure to somewhat perserve what fragments of this timeline remains."

They all nod before heading off to complete their objective.

She looks around before pointing the way she was meant to go, "If I go that way, RPG wise I'd be progressing the story... but..." she uses her other hand to point in the opposite direction, "My instincts as a Video Gamer before I became a [Gamer], that I should head the opposite direction and search for something neat..." she smirks before dashing off.

After about five minutes she finds herself at a dark cave...

...

"I really know I shouldn't... But I really want to..." and with that, she enters the cave.

The Shadow Clones Jeanne sent to watch out for her team, The events of Naruto using the Kyuubi's Chakra just passed, which meant that one should dispel to alert there boss, they pick one at random and before she could complain she burst.

Jeanne was walking through the cave and came up to an old temple, she decides to use tracing on it to see the layout and found something of interest in the back, so after activating Avenger and speeding through the temple she walks out of it with a massive scroll in her hands, 'To think I'd find one of these in the forest... It must be my lucky day...'

She sighs before a sudden jolt alerted her that a clone dispelled and she gained the memories of what happened and she puts her newly acquired scroll into her inventory before speeding off to mess with the timeline more.

She gets there just in time to hear Orochimaru speak, "I'm Orochimaru, The Giant Snake. If you'd ever like a rematch... Then pass this exam as quickly as you can!"

A few moments of talking later Orochimaru makes a hand seal and his neck stretches to try and bite into Sasuke...

...

Note how it said 'try'?

"Sasuke!" Jeanne pushed Sasuke out of the way and felt the fangs sink into her neck, she felt the Chakra pour into her system and tried merging with her's, she was able to first of all, avoid that completely due to not having a Chakra network, and secondly, make it so it doesn't overly affect a majority of her body.

"Jeanne!?" Sasuke exclaims, Jeanne holds her neck where a seal was now forming, "It feels like my skin's melting..." it did actually hurt like hell, it wasn't one of her resistances so the seal felt like absolute hell.

"Hmm... Oh well, I intended to give that to you, but this situation could prove more interesting and more rewarding in the long run... Don't worry Sasuke-kun... I'll come back for you to give you a gift of your own."

And with that... Huh? Jeanne actually passed out, this is a first...

She finds herself in her mindscape, she looked around before feeling something behind her, she pulled her swords out but they were unresponsive, she turns to see Orochimaru in all his... oh god, naked glory...

"Any reason you're naked...?" the snake smirks at her.

"Well, as you are a growing woman, I doubt you can resist my-" BOOM!

"Yeah... Fuck no..." she looked at the fire from the wave of flames she just threw forwards, she still had access to a limited amount of magic anyway...

"Alright, let's not drag this out longer then needed." she bites her thumb to keep up appearance, "Summoning Art: Decent of the Magic Goddess!" she slams her hand on the ground, "haha, Summoning doesn't work in your mi-"

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY GIRLFRIEND!" suddenly a wave of black mist washed over Orochimaru's soul fragment in the seal, wiping it from existence.

Jeanne sighs, incredibly grateful that worked, but instantly regretted it as she felt pain throughout her body.

"Jeanne, what's wrong, what happened!?" Manus asked in a scared tone, after a few moments of pain Jeanne learnt to deal with it.

"The seal... Needs a soul fragment to... Occupy it... to prevent death..." she managed to get out before passing out... in her mind... how does that work...?

"A Soul Fragment? Alright, I'll give a piece of mine..." after managed to split her soul, only 1/1,000th of her full soul and put it in the seal, preventing the pain, but Manus got another idea...

"Let's just change that energy it emits..." a few moments later instead of a three tomoe seal like it should be, it shifted into a two wings on either side of a sword, "Hmm... I'll need to name this for her system... how about..."

"Immortal Mark...?"

Outside, Sasuke had managed to get Jeanne and Naruto to a somewhat safe location, but that didn't stop the Otonin's from finding and trying to kill him, thankfully Lee came in to assist, and later on all of Team 10 and later on Team 9 assisted.

But they were still loosing due to the sound based abilities of the Otonin, when all of the sudden Jeanne started to get up, "Another one won't change anything!" Zaku, the spiky haired one, spoke out arrogantly.

Jeanne looked as along the left side of her body a pattern of hollow spikes spread across it, "I see... So this is what happened..." she took note of a skill pop up she just got.

[The Immortal Mark - LV1 0.01% - Active]

A Cursed Mark modified by the Goddess Manus to better suit the needs of the user.

...

'This is broken, isn't it?' she thought to herself, she also noticed the pure white energy around her, it was Magic... no... it was God magic, Magic Manus uses instead of normal magic!

'Okay, nevermind the question, this is OP as hell.' she looks up at Sasuke, Ino, Shikamaru, Lee, and Chouji, everyone who was injured and looked at the sound ninja.

"Did you do this...?" her voice was monotone, Zaku gave her a 'yes', making her smirk before walking forward, "Tsk, go to hell! SUPERSONIC AIR-SLICE!" Jeanne stared as the wind blew past her.

Dust covered the area for only a few moments, "Hah! Blew that Pipsqu-HUH!?" Jeanne just stared at him, in the same spot she stood, not even damaged.

She disappears and Zaku finds himself without an arm, "I'm not one for torture... But you hurt my comrades, for that, I will not show mercy..." he turns around to see Jeanne blankly staring at him while lazily holding his arm, he was about to scream as the pain finally register, but suddenly his head was separated from his shoulders.

"I'm also..." a soft thud was heard as the head hits the ground, "quite the hypocrite..." she turns towards Dosu and Kin, who were scared out of there minds at the seamlessly soulless expression on her face.

"Drop the scroll and leave... Unless you want to be next..." Dosu nods before placing his teams earth scroll on the ground, looking at Dosu for a moment before helping Kin up and leaving.

"Jeanne...?" she turns to Sasuke, her eye seems to stare into his soul, "What happened...?" she looked down at herself for a moment, "I'm not sure... I felt as though this was meant to kill me... but something changed it..." she held a hand over her mark before the markings along her left side receded into it.

"Ow..." she rubs it for a moment before turning to Sasuke, "So... ya mind filling me in on what happened while I was out...?"

"Wow, I've missed alot..." Jeanne states, a few minutes after her, Naruto also woke up, after that the other teams parted ways, so the three went to a stream to get some food, which Naruto and Sasuke took care of while she got some sticks for a campfire.

"Jeanne, how are you feeling...?" Naruto asked, worried about the mark, "Oh... Abit tired, but I can manage, so don't worry." she sat down by the fire and stared at it while the fish cooked on it, she engaged in some friendly conversation with Naruto and Sasuke, talking about their next course of action.

"We're running out of time to complete this part of the exam... it's already the third day, but I have some good news." Jeanne reached into her pockets and pulled out a Heaven and Earth scroll, "We're all ready to go to the tower, after our meal we can head there and finish this portion of the exam."

She puts them back into her pockets and Naruto felt them, "Where do they go after you put them away?" Sasuke also looked interested, so maybe she'll play with them abit?

"A Magician never reveals her secrets~" she says cheekily to them, causing them to have a small smile each.

"Hey Jeanne..." she looks at Sasuke, "Nice to know you can still joke in this situation... it means not everything is terrible right now..." she smiles and pats Sasuke on the shoulder, "If my jokes are able to cause you guys to calm down, maybe I should start a Comedy art? I got the skills for it."

Naruto laughed abit before they finish eating and packing up, just then they heard a rustle in the trees, and got ready.

"Whoa, Whoa! Calm down, will ya? I mean no harm." Kabuto casually walked out of the forest line, Sasuke speaks up, "What are you doing here Kabuto?" he rubs the back of his head slightly, "Well... this is gonna sound dumb... But I kind of got lost and can't find my teammates."

They raise their eyebrows at that, "And you say that because...?" Jeanne asked, holding a flame sword in her hand.

"Well, since I also have both scrolls..." he holds up his two scrolls, "I was wondering if you wanted to go to the tower together, since we're all Konoha Nin and all we should team up. Safety in numbers and all that, right?"

They stare at him for a moment before slightly dropping their guard, but Jeanne wasn't a fool, she knew how Kabuto was, so she would keep an eye on him.

The now group of four decide to tree jump to the tower as fast as possible, but after awhile Jeanne noticed something, "Hold on guys." she speaks up, causing the others to stop, "is it just me, or is the tower not getting closer?"

They look at it for a moment before realising that it was indeed the case, Jeanne stretched her senses and found a group of three.

"Looks like we've been in a Genjutsu for some time now..." she watches as a bunch of people in black clothes appear around them.

The four when back to back with weapons ready... well, minus Jeanne...

"I'm sorry... but..." a ring of fire forms on the ground around the four, she looks up at where they were really at while her only eye glows red, "I'm not playing your game!" she waves her hand and a wave of fire surrounds them and burns into all the doppelgangers.

"Since when could you do this Jeanne!?" She turns and smirked at Sasuke, "That was one of two techniques I've made during the time from Wave to this exam, if you want I'll try teaching you after the exams, sound cool?" he nods as the fire fades.

She looks at the position the real bodies where.

"How about I show you the other technique I've made...?" she smirks before holding her hand above her, a mass of fire forms above her hand, it was incredibly hot and dense, "Fair warning, we'll need to run after I do this." she grabs a hold of it and it forms into a spear, she spins it into her hand into the perfect spear throwing position and locks on them.

Their magic flickered, meaning they panicked, but didn't move.

"SCARLET DEATH!" she called out before throwing it, it impacts with one of them and suddenly a spire of flames shoots into the skies in a massive explosion of completely red fire.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Kabuto yells while they manage to hold themselves down and not get blasted away from the wind force it gave off.

Once it settles, Jeanne falls to her knees, slightly sweating, "We need to leave, now..." they nod before running off, Sasuke managing to carry Jeanne, who was surprisingly light, to the tower.

After Kabuto meets up with his team the two parts ways and Team seven heads inside.

They find themselves in a room and Jeanne looks at the sign, "Hey, that wall of text mentions heaven and earth... I think we have to read it."

"Okay, I'll do it." Said Sasuke, "'If qualities of Heaven are your desire to acquire wisdom and knowledge to take you mind higher. If earthly qualities are what you lack, train your body in the fields and prepare to attack. When both heaven and earth are opened together, the path of peril will revert to the righteous path forever. This "_" is the secret way... That guides us from this place today. - Third Hokage."

Jeanne looks at it before getting off, "I can at least walk now..." Sasuke nods before taking the two scrolls out of her pockets and handing one to Naruto and Sasuke each.

"I believe we have to open them both at the same time." the two nods before, after a moment of hesitation, opens it, "huh...? what is this?" Sasuke thinks for a moment before speaking, "Naruto drop the scroll!" both of them throw them a distance away and a poof of smoke.

And out came... Iruka-sensei!?

"It's been a while, eh?"

Next time on Fate of a Gamer

"Alright then... Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Ram."

"Wow, I didn't know such creatures existed..."

"I hate it when I get pissed off..."
