*walks into the genin training grounds silently and keeps reading my book, and I only put it away long enough to write my name in the sign-up sheet, then I go to one of the empty benches and goes back to reading, unaware of a future kunoichi walking towards me* Hi, who are you? *looks over my book at her, then puts it away and smiles* I'm Ryu Kyuchi, and I'm going to be a genin. *holds my hand out to her and she shakes my hand* "I'm Jiho Nagasuke, and I'm going to beat you there!" *after she says this, she giggles and I pull my hand back* We'll just see about that. *she nods and runs off while I go back to reading my book and waiting for my turn*
(an hour later)
*my name is called, so I stand up and stretch, putting away my book before going to the edge of the lake to face my opponent for the genin exams, and I'm surprised to see Jiho there* Ummm... hi? *she stares at me and blinks, then gets into a fighting stance, and I follow suit, getting into my aikido stance while the announcer yells out* "This will be the taijutsu test! Kyuchi vs. Nagasuke! When I give the word, you will fight! Ready...." *I tense up and move my back foot a little farther behind me, keeping my eyes on Jiho and watching for clues about where she's going to strike* "GO!" *she rushes straight at me and I get ready to spin away when she changes direction and comes at my right side, and I lean back so her punch goes right in front of me* Whoa! *grabs her arm and pulls it, making her trip over my feet and land on her face in the dirt* Are you okay? *I start to help her up, but she pushes me away and tries to sweep my legs, but I lift my feet just in time* Hey, I'm just trying to help! *she doesn't talk and just keeps trying to punch me, and I continue to dodge her punches easily, tiring her out* Stop it! *sweeps her legs, making her fall, and I hold her down* I'm not trying to hurt you... *the announcer pulls me off of her and names me the technical winner, and Jiho walks away without a word* Hey, where's she going? *the announcer looks at me and blinks* "Don't you know? She's going to be killed because she'll never be a shinobi." *he smiles at me, and I just grimace* "It's a great honor." *I break away from the crowd of Academy Students congratulating me and I chase after Jiho, but I only get there in time to see her get her head cut off by the chuunin teacher and I shudder* ... That's... That's inhumane... *the chuunin looks at me* "What did you say?" *this time I yell it out* It's inhumane! *he starts to walk toward me, cleaning off his katana* "Are you going to rebel? Are you going to help make this country weak by rebelling against the Mizukage?!" *he's now up close to me, with his katana ready to strike* N-no... But it's wrong to kill people... *he raises his blade* "Then die, useless rebel!" *I sidestep the blade and hit the chuunin in his solar plexus hard, making him fall to the ground* I won't fight you... but I won't let you kill people either....
(two hours later)
*the announcer calls out* "It's time for the ninjutsu exam! Would the following Academy Students please step up: Ryu Kyuchi, Jun Akibi, Kyon Misaka, and Awa Syuchu!" *we all step forward and the announcer looks at each of us* "I need you four to show me a ninjutsu technique, one at a time. The student who does the most damage to one of the dummies..." *he points at four straw-filled dummies* "Will go on." *we nod in understanding* "First up is... Jun Akibi!" *he steps forward and stares at his dummy while the announcer calls out his signature starting speech, explaining it to the audience, and I sit and wait for my turn* ...
(thirty minutes later)
"And last, but not least, Ryu Kyuchi!" *I stand up and walk to where the announcer is standing* I'm ready. *the announcer holds up his hand* "Ready...." *I focus my chakra, hands ready to do the handsigns* "GO!" *I make the handsigns quickly, focusing hard on the dummy* Hiya! *a water bottle bomb I'd placed carefully while everyone else was focused on the other contestants explodes behind the dummy, even destroying the wooden stake it was placed on* "W-we have a winner!" *the announcer looks flushed and a little afraid now, but I ignore the applause and I follow the other contestants, stopping each of their chuunin teachers with a few well-aimed punches, letting the other Academy Students escape*
(two hours later)
"Our final test is the genjutsu exam! Our one and only competitor is Ryu Kyuchi!" *I walk up to the announcer and look up to him* Just tell me what I have to do... *he leads me into the Academy and sits me down in a desk, and twenty other Academy Students walk in and sit down in the desks around me* "You have to escape without anyone knowing that you left..." *the announcer leaves and I'm stuck here until I can figure out how to leave, so I take the opportunity to watch everyone else, learning where their blind spots are and how I can seem to disappear*
(thirty minutes later)
*the class is still going on, but a straw dummy now sits in my place, and to everyone in the class, it looks exactly like me with its head in my book, and I'm walking outside the classroom, going down the hall to the genin training area* "And here's our new genin!" *the crowd picks me up suddenly and parades me down the main street, yelling and whooping* Hey, put me down! I can walk on my own! *I continue to protest, but they keep carrying me, parading me down main street like a hero towards the sunset*
