"Alright, everyone quiet down. I'm the proctor for the first round of the Chūnin Exams, Morino Ibiki."
A man dressed in black, his head wrapped in a dark bandana and several scars criss crossing his face, walked in, flanked by a few stern-looking examiners in gray suits.
"The first part of the exam is a written test."
Ibiki opened his mouth and began explaining the rules of the exam in a deep, deliberate voice.
"Pfft. A written test? More like a 'cheating skills assessment,'" Naruto muttered, resting his chin in his palm, clearly unimpressed. "Might as well flunk it. No way I'm gonna risk getting caught peeking at someone else's answers."
"And... begin."
With Ibiki's order, the room filled with the scattered sound of pens scratching across paper.
"Ugh. So boring. Might as well take a nap."
Naruto yawned. Lately, he didn't know why, but he'd been feeling unusually tired...
BAM!
"Wahh! I wasn't cheating!"
A scream jolted Naruto awake.
"Damn it, who the hell just ruined my nap?"
Rubbing his mouth, Naruto blearily looked toward a poor Genin being dragged out by the examiners.
"Got caught cheating, huh?"
He mumbled half-asleep, "Idiot. Thanks for ruining my nap."
Now fully awake and irked, Naruto turned to glance at the examiners sitting upright and stern. A mischievous smirk slowly crept across his face.
"Heh... so you won't let me sleep, huh?"
Forming a hand seal in secret, Naruto whispered, "Ninjutsu, 'Not This Place Technique!'"
Poof,
Two Chūnin disguised among the Genin who had been swiftly jotting down answers suddenly froze, dazed.
In a blink, they were transported to a different scene, standing in front of a quiet hot spring.
A sign on the door in front of them read: "Answer these questions to gain entry."
And below it was a list of questions.
Looking up, they saw a wooden plaque hanging above the entrance that boldly read: "Women's Bathhouse."
"Uh…"
Both Chūnin stared dumbly at the sign, then glanced awkwardly at each other.
"Ahaha! That tickles! You're so naughty!"
"Heehee, let big sis help wash your back... come on, don't run~"
Suddenly, flirtatious, sultry voices echoed from beyond the door, sending chills of excitement down their spines.
Gulp.
The two Chūnin swallowed in sync, their breathing growing heavier.
"Do we... go in?"
They glanced at each other again, unsure.
"Aww~ stop it... no more~"
"C'mere... let big sis touch you a little more~"
Two new, equally seductive voices chimed in, and both Chūnin's eyes gleamed with unmistakable green light.
"Maybe... let's check the first question?" one of them suggested.
"Yeah, good idea."
"Alright... Question 1: What part of a girl do you like to look at the most?"
"Uh... which part?"
They looked at each other again, clueless.
"Ahhh~ no more~!"
Gulp.
Without hesitation, they both wrote: "Every part. Top to bottom."
"Okay... next question: Do you want to enter the women's bathhouse?"
"Of course we want to!"
Now completely immersed, they breezed through the questions.
"Final question: If you could become invisible, what would you do?"
They exchanged another glance, this time their eyes shining bright green.
"Heh heh..."
Snickering like perverts, they scribbled:
"First, turn invisible. Then open the bathhouse door. Then..."
"Alright! All done. Let's go in!"
The two shouted excitedly and reached out to push the door open,
"Huh?"
Their arms froze midair. They were back in the exam room, standing up with blank looks on their faces.
"What are you two doing? Why did you suddenly stand up?"
Ibiki's forehead bulged with visible veins.
"Uh… nothing! Nothing at all!"
The two Chūnin scrambled to sit down, frantically wiping cold sweat from their brows.
"Those idiots," Ibiki muttered. "At the worst possible time, they had to screw up..."
If he could interrogate them a thousand times over, he would.
"Ugh! These answers!"
Looking back at their test sheets, both Chūnin panicked as they realized what they had written and began furiously scribbling to change their answers, but it was far too late.
"Alright, the first exam is over. Those of you who remain... congratulations, you've passed."
Ibiki finally smiled for the first time, gazing over the room full of worn-out, bitterly smiling candidates.
"That smile…"
Ibiki frowned. "Why do they all look like that?"
"Tsk. Ibiki, you still have fifty-eight teams left?"
Anko Mitarashi entered the room from the hallway and shook her head in disappointment at the still-bustling classroom.
"This batch must be exceptionally good," Ibiki replied with a casual shrug.
"Hmph, no matter. For the second test, I'll make sure at least half get eliminated right off the bat."
Anko's voice rang out boldly, her smile widening as she noticed the startled faces among the examinees.
"Bunch of scared little brats…"
Then suddenly, her eyes locked onto a single stare, Naruto's, who was still looking at her dazedly.
"You. Kid. Come with me. The rest of you, be at Training Field 44, the Forest of Death, tomorrow morning on time. Dismissed."
Waving them off impatiently, Anko turned and motioned Naruto to follow her before walking out of the room.
"Ugh..."
Naruto sighed, his mood souring as he trailed behind her.
"All I did was look at her a little longer... does she have to take it so personally?"
…
Once the classroom had emptied, Ibiki started collecting the test papers.
"Ugh…"
Seeing sheet after sheet with the same weird answers, his face twitches uncontrollably.
At last, he understood the strange smiles all those Genin had given him.
..
"You seriously dared to stare at me like that?"
Dragging Naruto into a quiet corner of the building, Anko glared at him with clear annoyance.
"Uh... it was just a few glances…"
Naruto scratched his head and mumbled, "Geez, what's with that temper…"
"Just a few glances, huh?"
Anko grabbed his chin, pulling his face close to hers, their noses nearly touching.
"You know I hate that kind of stare the most, brat."
"I-It wasn't on purpose…"
Naruto stiffened. She was so close he could feel her warm breath against his cheek, making him even more flustered.
Swish!
A flash of cold light, and a thin cut appeared on Naruto's cheek.
Then, Anko leaned in and... licked the blood from his face. Smacking her lips, she whispered near his ear, voice dangerously soft:
"Next time you look at me like that, kid, you'll regret it."
With a few teasing chuckles, she turned and walked away with a lazy strut, leaving Naruto stunned.
"W-What just happened...?"
Still reeling, Naruto could only mutter to himself:
"This woman... is seriously dangerous."
