Chapter 4
"IZUMI! You're late" Iruka roared as the dark haired girl entered the class room.
Izumi was now a pretty 14 year old, with shoulder-length black hair which would never, despite her best attempts, stay flat. She had a long fringe which hid her lightning bolt scar, and when nervous she always flattened it, well attempted to. She wore baggy black combats with numerous pockets for weapons, a pair of classic black ninja sandals, her top was a black sleeveless top which stopped just short of her bellybutton, and underneath that she wore a net t-shirt. She also wore a pair of black fingerless gloves with armour plates on the back of her hand which her Dad had managed to procure for her. She was one of the few girls in the class who:
Wasn't obsessed with Sasuke Uchiha
Disliked the girly flower-arranging classes.
Who took her ninja career seriously.
"Well you see, Iruka-sensei, a black cat crossed my path and I had to find a different route to school" she sheepishly scratched the back of her head.
'Kakashi's rea-lly rubbed off on her' Iruka mentally groaned, face palming.
"Just sit down" he sighed aloud, rolling his eyes.
Izumi headed to her usual place on the back row between Shikamaru, who was currently dozing, and Naruto, who eagerly waved her over. She and Shikamaru had thankfully managed to talk the blond boy out of wearing too much orange, explaining that as a ninja it would just scream 'Kill me now'. Naruto now taken to wearing black jeans with a loose orange utility belt around his waist, a black sleeveless top with the Uzumaki swirl on the back in orange and finally black arm guards. He'd also, thankfully, stopped wearing the ridiculous goggles. His blue eyes gleamed as his best friend.
"You slept in again didn't you?" he chuckled.
"Guilty" she sighed "It's hardly my fault though; I mean Anko got completely hammered last night and was singing, yes singing. I'm scarred for life." Izumi shuddered.
"Thanks for that mentally image" drawled a sarcastic Naruto.
"I share because I care" Izumi smirked darkly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They were sat outside for lunch with their bento beneath the shade of a tree. Izumi and Shikamaru were playing shogi, watched avidly by an eating Chouji. Kiba and Naruto exchanged pranking tips as they ate, and Hinata was stammering about something to Shino. All in all a regular day. However the peace of the outdoors was shattered once more by a screech of "Sasuke-kun's MINE!"
They all looked up to see yet another fn-girl war, headed by Sasuke Uchiha's biggest fans 1 and 2 respectively: Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka.
"Ahh, the mating call of the Sasuke fan-girl" drawled Naruto.
Izumi and the guys cracked up, whilst Hinata blushed at her crush's joke.
"Shut up you weirdo!" Sakura sneered.
"Wow...what an insult" sighed a sarcastic Shikamaru.
"Why you…" Sakura growled.
"Away with you gremlins, fly back to whence you came" smirked Izumi, making 'shooing' motions with her hands.
"What?" squawked Ino "What did you just call us?"
"You're obviously hearing impaired gremlins" Izumi continued "And if you're looking for your 'precious Sasuke-kun', He's in the classroom studying."
"Cough-Hiding- Cough" Kiba added, and by this point even the shy Hinata was in hysterics.
"Lets go find Sasuke-kun and leave those that suffer insanity to their pathetic lives" Sakura stuck up her nose and marched off, closely followed by Ino and the rest of the 'Uchiha Fanclub'.
"I don't suffer insanity, I enjoy e-very minute of it." Izumi smirked darkly.
"Everyone has the right to be stupid, but those 2, how troublesome…" Shikamaru yawned.
"Too true" Izumi agreed, eyes glittering with mirth.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Izumi! Naruto! Shikamaru! Wake up, and pay attention. You need to study" Iruka roared at the tree academy students.
"But it's so tro..." began Shikamaru.
"Troublesome!" Chorused Izumi and Naruto.
"You three need to do some serious studying, do I have to remind you that you 3 have the lowest grades in the class." Iruka growled at their antics.
"Only 'cause the work's too easy for us to bother with" Naruto muttered in a low voice that only Shikamaru and Izumi could hear, making them smile.
"Hey, Iruka-sensei, did you every notice that the word 'studying' ends in 'dying'?" Izumi queried lightly.
Iruka groaned, massaging the bridge of his nose. Those three were going to be the death of him.
"Iruka-sensei" said a pink-haired girl- Sakura, in a sickly sweet voice "Why not split them up? After all, they always disrupt the class" she tossed her hair.
"That's a very good idea Sakura. Shikamaru, switch seats with Hinata and sit by Chouji at the front. Izumi, switch with Shino and sit next to Sasuke" Iruka pointed.
"Noooo! Damn you Haruno!" Izumi hit her head repeatedly on the desk in despair.
"Ha! Bad luck Izzy" chuckled Naruto "Have fun with Uchiha-teme"
"Shut up, or I beat you into the ground with a shovel" Izumi snarled.
"Meep" Naruto winced
"Vague disclaimer is nobody's friend. Have fun" Izumi smirked.
"Where'd you get the 'shovel'?" Shikamaru drawled.
"Ah, now that would be a secret" Izumi chuckled, and then headed to sit next to the Uchiha.
She flopped into her seat, and caught the show-off staring at her.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer" she glared irritably.
Sasuke just looked away, blushing. Izumi raised a brow quizzically and muttered 'weird', before returning her attention to Iruka-sensei.
Meanwhile Sakura was shooting her death-glares, and Inner Sakura was using curse words that regular Sakura had never even heard of.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Stupid Haruno getting us moved" huffed Izumi, as she dodged a round house from Naruto. Whom she was practising taijuitsu with, Shikamaru meanwhile dozed under a tree, half reading a scroll on a shadow juitsu that he'd found in his family's private library.
"Naruto, the genin exams are tomorrow, you ready?" Izumi queried as Naruto flipped over her trip kick. "Remember when they ask you to do a clone, do the shadow clone that my dad taught you."
"Yeah, yeah I know" Naruto nodded "I have too much chakra to do the ordinary bushin. Thank your dad for figuring that out for me btw."
"Troublesome exams" Shikamaru sighed.
"Shikamaru, you have to promise to pass and not sleep in the exam" Izumi glared "We stand a pretty decent chance of being on the same team"
"Fine…" Shikamaru groaned.
"Lazy-arse" Naruto muttered under his breath.
"And now…for chocolate" Izumi grinned, taking out a handful of bars of her not-so-secret weakness from her bag. She and Naruto began to chow down on the stuff rapidly.
"Ah! There is no problem which cannot be solved by chocolate" Izumi beamed happily.
"I think I'm gonna barf!" Naruto groaned turning green, after eating a little too much of the sweet stuff.
"….'Cept that" Izumi sighed.
"It's feeding time at the zoo…" Shikamaru groaned, just quietly enough to ensure the other 2 didn't hear.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I will be calling you out 1-by-1 and you'll take our exams" Iruka called out, holding his 'clipboard of doom' as Naruto had christened it.
He began reading through the list in alphabetical order. Sakura managed to pass, god knows how, then it was Izumi's turn.
"Izumi Hatake" Iruka yelled, and Izumi headed to the front of the class with a smirk, "Right I want you to perform a henge into me" Iruka instructed.
Izumi rolled her eyes and performed the henge with ease, Iruka nodded and continued
"A bushin please" Iruka nodded, writing something on the clipboard.
"Iruka-sensei, does it have to be a regular bushin, or can it be any type?" Izumi queried innocently.
"Umm…I guess not" Iruka blinked in surprise.
"Kage bushin no juitsu" Izumi performed a handsign and she was stood next to two shadow clones.
Iruka and Mizuki's jaws dropped, Kage bushin was a jounen level technique.
"N...now a nin-juitsu of your choice" Iruka managed to stammer.
Izumi paused, trying to think of a move which would get enough marks but wouldn't reveal too much of her ability. Her father always said that the art of surprise was a good way to catch an enemy off guard. A grin crossed her face, she had just the juitsu
"Kori sutairu: Hokkyoku no nomu(1)" she grinned performing a series of hand signs, she blew outward and with her breath flew an arctic breeze, the floor was instantly coated in a layer of ice, causing Mizuki-sensei to slip and fall on his ass. Laughter echoed around the class room, easing some of the nerves which had been affecting the other academy students.
"You pass" Iruka smiled with pleasure, handing her a leaf- hitite. He called the next name as a smirking Izumi returned to her seat, tying her leaf hi-tiate to left, upper arm.
"Impressive" Sasuke muttered.
Izumi turned and blinked…Sasuke had complimented someone? Had she fallen into a parallel universe where he didn't have a permanent stick up his arse?
"T…thanks?" she gaped in shock.
"You hang around with the lazy-kid and the dobe right?" Sasuke began "So how'd a loser like you learn that juitsu?"
Izumi's eyebrow twitched, nope she was still in her universe and Sasuke was still the world's biggest fathead.
"The 'lazy-kid and the dobe' happen to be my friends" she hissed and turned away angrily. It was Sasuke's turn to blink in surprise this time, at her furious response.
Izumi beamed as Shikamaru passed using regular bushin and his family's signature move- the kagemane (2) juitsu. Kiba, Shino, Hinata and Chouji also passed. Unfortunately so ad Ino and Sakura (just barely). Sasuke passed using a grand fireball juitsu as his nin juitsu. It was pretty impressive, but nothing that she, Shikamaru or Naruto couldn't have done. They'd recently obtained some chakra paper from Asuma to discover their elemental affinities. Shikamaru's was shadow and water, Naruto's was wind and lightning and hers was wind and fire- an unusual combination. They'd focused on learning juitsus which involved these elements, but had also added a few others for variety.
Finally it was Naruto's turn, she bit her lip, if he stuck to the kage bushin he'd do fine, but what if he forgot?
Thankfully he remembered, and Mizuki had nearly had an apoplectic fit at the sight of 5 Kage bushin. Naruto's nin juitsu was one that Asuma, who's affinity was also wind, had shown him: 'Fuuton:Chirashi kaze no tate' (3). Which as the name suggested, created a barrier of swirling wind currents which could block most weapon based attacks.
Naruto smiled as he tied his hi-taite around his forehead, Izumi grinned and shot him a thumbs up, which he returned. They'd passed; they were on heir way to becoming real ninja.
