Naruto enters the classroom. The blonde is very excited, because today is the day he graduates from the Academy, and get's a hitai-ate.

It's been six years since Shisui died, and Naruto trained really hard to learn Shisui's Shurikenjutsu, Kenjutsu, Taijutsu, and Ninjutsu. While Naruto has mastered how to use his Sharingan, and even his Mangekyo Sharingan. Thanks to the Kyuubi, the stamina problems of the Sharingan doesn't affect Naruto. Also, thanks to the Kyuubi, and his Uzumaki blood, the Kotoamatsukami has a significantly reduced wait-time: once a day.

Not that Naruto has told anyone about his Sharingan. He didn't even tell Sasuke, who has become one of his best friends, along with Ino Yamanaka, and Shikamaru Nara.

All though, Saruka, and Naruto has grown distant. Well, not that they were close to begin with, or anything. Now, Naruto feels bad about what happened to the Haruno family. He has even told Sakura sorry multiple times. While Sakura is somewhat angry at Naruto for putting her mother in prison. She still understands that her mother was drunk, and that it was her own fault, and not Naruto's necessarily. But, it still hurts the pinkette.

Also during these six years, Naruto became a prankster, and barely came to the Academy. He knew Shisui would be somewhat angry at that, but Naruto was very busy training. So, Shisui would probably forgive him.

If anybody asks, Naruto did not glue all of the chairs in the Academy to the ceiling. Nor did he super glue whoopie cushions to the chairs. Naruto, also didn't switch out all of the Hyuga's underwear for hot pink thongs. The Uzumaki never, ever stole his Jiji's Icha Icha, with books for babies, and then henged the covers of the baby books to look like an Icha Icha. Naruto also never stole an Icha Icha book from a silver-haired Jounin. All though, Naruto does think that the Jounin is a big pervert.

Naruto still wears a somewhat baggy blue t-shirt. Over the t-shirt, Naruto wears what appears to be a black leather-like harness for his tantō which ran across his chest and fastened over both his shoulders. The blonde also wears orange pants, with a shuriken holster above his right knee. All though, Naruto added a pair of black high-top shinobi sandals that went up to his mid-calf, and readded his green goggles to his forehead, a couple years ago.

Naruto then sits down next to Sasuke, When the whole classroom hears the thunderous stomps of Sakura Haruno, and Ino Yamanaka.

Sakura typically gives the outward impression of being polite to her superiors, considerate of her peers, and confident in herself. She has occasional moments of bashfulness around Sasuke and competitiveness around Ino, but otherwise appears quite collected. This reservation, though never disingenuous, frequently masks how Sakura feels: in certain situations, she has pronounced feelings of delinquency, jealousy, and anger. Rather than display these emotions to others, she projects them inward, allowing a manifestation of who she truly is — what is labeled "Inner Sakura" (内なるサクラ) — to have the opinions Sakura wants to keep to herself. Inner Sakura, whose appearances are marked by an exclamation of "Shannarō!", is in a sense a personality separate from Sakura herself.

Sakura has fair skin, green eyes, and pink hair. In her youth, she wore her hair as bangs in order to cover her large forehead and fend off her classmates' calling her "Forehead Girl" (デコリーン). Ino encouraged her not to do this and wear her hair back instead, so that others could see her face. Later in her Academy career she let her hair gets longer because of rumours that Sasuke was attracted to girls with long hair.

Sakura wears a red qipao dress — at various times either with or without short sleeves — with slits along the sides accompanied by a zipper and white circular designs. She also wears tight dark green bike shorts with a shuriken holster around her right thigh, and blue sandals.

Despite her assertiveness and uppity demeanour, Ino is a compassionate and kind person at heart, having been raised to embody the meaning of the bush clover: a blunt, candid love who treasures the bonds with her friends. It is these qualities that earned Sakura Haruno's friendship, defending Sakura from bullies who teased her and helping her become confident.

Ino has fair skin, light blue eyes, and long platinum blonde hair worn in a ponytail, with bangs framing the right side of her face. Her ponytail extends to her waist. Ino regularly wears a purple outfit consisting of a high-collared blouse and matching apron skirt. She sports this attire with bandages on her abdomen and legs, small hoop-earrings, her hitai-ate worn as a belt, and white arm warmers.

Sakura yells," I WIN, INO-PIG!"

Ino retorts, "ARE YOU AN IDIOT, BILLBOARD BROW? I WAS A WHOLE BIG TOE AHEAD OF YOU!"

Sakura then replies, "NO YOU WEREN'T, INO-PIG! I WAS A WHOLE CENTIMETER AHEAD OF YOU!

As, the two kunoichi in training but heads, Naruto says, "Good Morning Sakura-chan, Ino-chan. By the way, it is a tie so sit down, and wait for class to begin. It's quite troublesome to hear you yelling!"

Sakura then yells, "WHAT DID YOU SAY, NARUTO-BAKA!?"

Naruto replies, "Sakura-chan, I might be stupid, but I can still beat everyone here in a spar, and everyon here knows it."

Ino asks, "Oh, hello Naruto-kun. How is your morning?"

Naruto answers, "It was good, Ino-chan, how about you?"

Ino replies, "That's good, Naruto-kun. It was good, until Forehead-Baka showed up, and challenged me."

Sakura yells, "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME, INO-PIG-BAKA!"

Naruto snickers, while he says, "Not very creative, you two. The name calling won't hurt, unless it's creative. Like what would you do if I called one of you a "stale piece of bacon greased toast"?"

Ino answers, "Naruto-kun, you'd be punched into oblivion!"

Iruka then walks in, and say, "Shut up, and sit down! As you know, today is the Genin Exams. The test is in two parts: a written test, and a physical test. The physical test has three parts. Their is the Taijutsu test, Shurikenjutsu test, and Ninjutsu test. We'll be inside for the written test, and Ninjutsu test, every other test will be outside. Mizuki-san, would you like to pass out the written tests?"

Originally, Mizuki appeared to be very polite and kind-hearted, and was described to be a sweet man by his former fiancée, Tsubaki. In reality, he does not care for anything or anyone beyond his own rise in power. He takes pride in the fact that he is not bound by things like morals or teamwork, and is willing to sacrifice whatever he has to in order to complete his goals. His desire for power seems to come from what appears to be an inferiority complex, as he cannot stand having anyone look down on him. Although Tsubaki claimed that Mizuki was a sweet man before meeting Orochimaru, even that was a façade as he already showcased his underhanded and ruthless methods since childhood, as exemplified by his having a manipulated friendship with Iruka for his own benefits, and later murdering a comrade who suffered a minor injury, justifying his actions by claiming he is merely eliminating any potential hindrances for the mission's smooth success. Mizuki's defining characteristics are being greatly ambitious and dishonourable. His cravings for power and acknowledgement led him to hate Iruka for gaining more attention than him, and pretended to be Iruka's friend in order to live off of that attention, as well as discreetly inflict misery on Iruka.

Mizuki has white shoulder-length hair with a slight hint of blue to it and green eyes. He wears the standard attire of the Konoha-nin, which included flak jacket and hitai-ate that he wore like a bandanna.

Mizuki answers, "Of course, I would love to pass out the written test to all of these students."

Mizuki passed out the tests, and returns to the front of the room.

Sasuke Uchiha, and Shino Aburame got a score of 40/40. Sakura got a score of 39/40. While Ino got a score of 37/40. Shikamaru, and Choji got a score of 20/40. With Kiba got a score of 20/40. Hinata who also got a score of 25/40. While Naruto got 17/40.

Iruka then says, "Time to go outside for the Taijutsu test."

When outside, Iruka calls the students one by one to spar with Mizuki for at least four minutes. It is now Naruto's turn, and for some reason he is the last to go.

Anyway as Naruto, and Mizuki are slipping into their perspective Taijutsu Stances, and staring each other down, Iruka yells, "Hajime!"

Naruto rushes toward Mizuki, jumping into the air, and flips, kicking Mizuki. As Naruto is about to land, he back hands Mizuki into his face. The Senju then crouches to the ground sweeping Mizuki's legs from under his body. As Mizuki is falling to the ground, Naruto flips, kicking Mizuki in the balls.

As Mizuki gets back up, he rushes toward Naruto doing combos of punches, and kicks. Naruto dodges each, and everyone of Mizuki's punches, and kicks. The Uzumaki then plants a solid gut punch to Mizuki, who has saliva fly from his mouth.

Naruto then backflips away from Mizuki. He stands still, waiting for his Sensei to make a move. Mizuki then rushes towards Naruto, with a punch aim for the blonde's face. Naruto catches the punch, and then jumps up into the air. The Uzumaki grabs Mizuki's head, and smashes it into his knee, knocking the Chunin out cold.

Izuka says, "Due to knockout Naruto Uzumaki wins the match! It is now time for the Shurikenjutsu Test. You have ten shuriken, and ten kunai. Just throw them to the best of your ability."

As they all finish the test, Naruto has a score of 20/20. The same also goes for Sasuke, Hinata, and Shino Aburame. Sakura got a score of 19/20. While Ino got a score of 17/20. Shikamaru, and Choji got a score of 10/20. With Kiba horribly failing with a score of 15/20.

Iruka says, "Now it is time to go for everyone to go back inside. When we call your name, you will come back to do the Ninjutsu Test." Once everyone, but Naruto (Obviously). It is now Naruto's turn. When Naruto got outside, Iruka says, "You have to do the Academy Jutsu: the Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique), Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique), and the Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique)."

Naruto playfully asks, "Do I have to do them in order?"

Iruka answers, "No, you do not, just do the jutsu, and you'll probably pass

Naruto then does a string of hand seals. Dog → Boar → Ram. Naruto then yells, "Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique)!"

The Uzumaki then in a puff of smoke turns into Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage. "Hiruzen" is a short man. He wears the official uniform of the Hokage: the customary hat and haori with a red, full-length kimono that is tied using a white sash. The Sandaime has white hair, and a goatee, with lines coming down from his eyes.

Naruto then does another set of hand seals. Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake. And, in a puff of smoke, a log appears where Naruto was just standing. He yells, "Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique)!"

Naruto then Shunshins all around the room, while doing a set of hand seals. Tiger → Dog → Rat. Five after images of Naruto appears. The Uzumaki yells, "Zanzō Bunshin (Afterimage Clone)!"

Iruka then says, "Sorry Naruto-kun, but you fail. I know you did a Bunshinjutsu, but you have to do the Bunshin no Jutsu that the Academy teaches. You also failed the written test. Again Naruto-kun, I'm sorry. You can go back to the classroom now."

Naruyo then start to cry. He puts his goggles over his eyes, and with his head facing down, he returns to the classroom. Once in the classroom, he hears the snickers, chuckles, and laughs, but he ignores them, and sits down next to Sasuke.

Iruka, and Mizuki walks into the classroom, with smiles on their faces. The Umino then says, "Congratulations to all who passed. Those who have passed, must return in a week to get assigned a Jouni-sensei, and to a Genin team. Ja ne!"
