Why him of all people?! Why did he have to be this years Chūnin Exam proctor! Those four years of training with Dad weren't so fun because of Ibiki... He nearly ruined my chance of finishing that training...

- flashback / 10 years old -

I walked down the dark, narrow hallway of the torture interrogation building. Dad wanted me to go see a certain someone, he needs some package to be delivered and I was the only one close by. Supposedly, this is part of my training, which made me believe it easily. There was a door with a name plate.

"Ibiki Morino." I read out loud, opening the door. "I think it's him"

Walking through the door, I took notice of how dark it was inside the room. You could hardly see anything at all.

"Hello? Is..." I glanced down at the small prove of paper Dad handed me. "Ibiki Morino here? I came here to pick something up for Kakashi Hatake." I asked, sighing at the end.

A cloth was placed over my mouth and nose, I gasped in shock, my arms wrapping around my captors hands. I did make one big mistake, I inhaled whatever chemical was on the cloth. My eyes fluttered closed, the hands around my mouth and body fell lose and let me fall to the ground with a thud. A shadowy figure walked into my line of vision, they wore a large trench coat, a dark one. 'Oh no, why me...!' Ragged breaths skimmed past my lips, I glared at him weakly. 'Dont show fear, just listen to what Dad said in training today... Fear is weakness...' I assured myself, or tried to.

"W-Why...?" I breathed out, fading back and out of unconsciousness.

They chuckled, "You seem about perfect for a small...experiment..."

Experiment?! I knew my heart was beating rapidly, I was scared, I was going to be experimented on!

"I'll see you when you wake up."

I fell into the hands of the darkness, with one last thought. 'I'm going to die.'

I woke up. Everything was dark, I couldn't see a thing. 'A blindfold.. Tsk.." I thought, moving my arms around. My legs were tied down, so were my arms, I'm tied down... To be experimented on. The blindfold was yanked off my face roughly, I hissed in pain and glared at him evilly.

He chuckled. "Be careful what you say, brat." He said, walking back and grabbing a whip.

My eyes widened in horror. "Stay away from me!" I snarled, angrily.

He walked up to me, whipping me in the back. I hissed at the burning pain, my pain endurance had gotten a little better, still it hurt badly.

-end-

He managed to hit me a few times that day, but after that Kakashi came running in to save me. He stopped Ibiki just in time, I'm grateful he saved me once again, but that will never change the way I see Ibiki. He's a evil, abusive man to me. People will do anything to see my kekkei genkai in the works or my clans power in general.  That small little memory is implanted in my mind forever, I hate even thinking about it..

"Worry to have kept you all waiting. I'm Ibiki Morino, the proctor for the first test of the Chūnin Exam." Ibiki stated with a smirk.

"Damn... Shika, let me go behind you for awhile." I said or more like ordered.

Shika nodded, "go ahead." He mumbled, yawning.

I walked behind Shika, there was no way I would let Ibiki see me. Who knew what he would do with an opportunity like this.

Ibiki glared and pointed at the sound nin. "You, from the Sound Village-- you cannot be doing as you please before the Exam! Do you want to be failed at the very beginning?!" Ibiki barked.

The sound nin with the hunch back faced him. "Understood, it's our first time taking the Exams so we lost control of ourselves. Forgive us." He apologized, his voice raspy and deep.

"Hm. This is a good opportunity so I'll say this..." Ibiki started, glaring at everyone. "There will be no fights, or competitions without the permission of the proctors. And even if you get permission, options that could lead to the death of an opponent will not be permitted. Any pig that screws with me will be disqualified immediately. Got it!" He finished, barking loudly.

'I think we got it, you imbecile.' I glared at him as everyone remained silent.

"Now then, we will start the first test of the Chūnin Exam. Turn in your applications, take one of these number cards in exchange," Ibiki said, holding up a number one. "And sit in the seat matching that number. After that, we will hand out a paper for the written test!"

I walked up to the front with Shika. One of the proctors handed me a number.

"68." I mumbled, looking at Shika. "What number did you get?"

"45.. Man, this is such a drag. We have to take a written test?" Shika sighed.

I chuckled. "I don't really think you should worry to much. From what I've heard about you, your really smart. You'll do perfect." I commented, punching his shoulder.

Shika smiled, "Thanks, Reina. You should do fine too, right?" He said, eyeing me.

I sweat dropped. "I'm not so sure. You can say I'm like Naruto when it comes to written tests, I pass most of the test like nothing so maybe. But, this is the Chūnin exams, it's going to be much harder than regular tests" I stated.

Shika shook his head, muttering incoherent words under his breath. He looks at me and flicks my forehead. I scrunch up my nose in response.

"Just do your best, alright?" Shika pleaded.

"I will, mother.." I joked.

He rolled his eyes before pushed me lightly, "look who's next to you." Shika said, gesturing towards Gaara sitting in the seat number 69. "Be careful, he looks dangerous."

"Trust me, I can handle him. I've been through and seen worse." I mumbled walking to my seat.

I sat down. Gaara looked over at me with a glare, I did the same.

"Stupid girl.. I should just kill you.." Gaara spat.

"Maybe, I should kill you." I snarled, jabbing his chest.

His eyes widened a bit, then they returned to normal, his glare returning to his face.

"Like you would. You're nothing but a weak girl who could barely hurt a fly. Now shut up, or I'll kill you." He threatened me, then faced the front.

"Shut up, or I'll I'll you" I mocked, shaking my hands in fake fear. I smirked in a teasing way. "Just to let you know, I'm not like other girls, Gaara. I can actually harm a fly, even a human being. I wouldn't talk, you're not the only one who can kill others. Now, why don't you shut up, or... I'll kill you." I snarled, a smirk on my lips as my eyes filled up with a dark look.

'Threaten me, I'll do the same..' I heard a growl from Gaara, he looked at me with a dark glare that could would kill me if looks did kill. His arm reached towards me. Specks of sand made their way to my neck wrapping around me, trying to choke me. I grinned when the sand stopped suddenly, Gaara glared at the sand, acting as if that's never happened before.

"There are several important rules to the first test. I will not answer any questions, nor repeat myself. So listen carefully!" Ibiki shouted, writing on the board with a piece of chalk. "First off is rule number one. You are given ten points each from the start. The written consists of ten questions total, each one is one point. One point will be deducted from each question you get wrong."

"Second rule. Wether you pass or fail determines on your whole three man or four man squad." Ibiki stated. Being cut mid way through his explanation by Sakura.

"Wait a minute! Why do you mean by that?!" Sakura yelled.

"Shut up! There's a perfectly good reason for this!" Ibiki barked. "Here's the next and most important rule. Two points will be deducted for getting caught in a act of cheating that is very easy to see. In other words, there will be some people who will be removed even before receiving a pass or fail from me."

I narrowed my eyes at him. 'There's have to be a catch, no way he's letting us off easily. But even so, that means Sakura and Sasuke should be fine even if Naruto and I don't do so well in the test. If I do happen to pass and do well, all three of us can cover up for Naruto. Either way we're fine.' I mused, glancing over at my teammates.

They were all nearby. Sasuke is fine, same with Sakura, they're both pretty smart and shouldn't have a problem. Naruto and I on the other hand, both suck at tests which could bring us all down. Damn.

"And, in the case of even one person getting a zero out of ten points........" He started.

"That whole team will fail!"

My mouth fell open. "What?!"

Cursing under my breath, I glanced over at Naruto who was shivering at the two menacing glares aimed at his back from Sasuke and Sakura. 'Naruto, do your best.'

"There will also be a last question that will be given forty-five minutes after the start of the test. You all have one hour, nothing more. Begin!!" He shouted.

Right away I scanned my paper of it's questions. The first one was a code, a difficult one... It looked like something a Chūnin should be getting, not Genins.

'The parabola B in the diagram illustrates the greatest possible distance that Enemy Ninja A can throw throw his shuriken from a tree seven meters high. Predict and answer the Enemy Ninja's character inferred from the ellipse of this shuriken forms, also answer the longest firing range in battle on a flat ground and explain your answer.' I read the question in my head. 'This is way to hard for Naruto! I can barely answer this, there's no way I can answer these-!'

Ibiki never said we couldn't cheat, the only thing I heard was if we were caught very easily we would be excused from the room. I smirked. He must think were smart a night to figure out the hidden truth behind his words. Were supposed to cheat. Perfect. This is easy. I typed my chin, thinking of what I could possibly do to cheat off of someone. 'Got it!'

My hands went under the desk, I made hand signs for a Jutsu that's a speciality of my clan.

'Wayer style: S.O.S command' small little water particles formed in the air around me, it would go to someone's else's paper and copy the answers. The water would spell them out to me, easy A. This jutsu was actually used for making an S.O.S in the air, for clan members that were either lost or in need of help. Bright side is that is can use it for copying or stealing information as well, only part I didn't particularly like was the name of the Justu. I blame the clan leader.

Words were then formed, the water wrote out the answers and disappeared when any of the proctors looked. I grinned and wrote the answers down as fast as I could.

Hah, I can pass this test easily.
