Crystal entered the classroom, she was a little nervous. This was the day that all the acadamy students would take the genin exam. Why was she nervous? Crystal had no idea, she was only ten, but she could already do an almost perfect transformation jutsu.
She looked around the classroom, many of the students were sitting down, waiting for their teacher to arrive. Crystal took the desk that was nearest to her. She sat down and stayed quiet, outside though, a slight wind blue past the windows making a wistling noise, it's going to rain today. She thought to herself. |

The gentle taps of footsteps could be heard on the wooden floors of the ninja academy, coinciding with the soft patters of rain on the roof of the building, which created a melodic and rhythmic sound. Blue eyes examined the area, clouded somewhat with the faintest of sorrows, but a fiery light was hidden beneath the foggy crystalline depths. Whiskered cheeks were creased slightly with a light smile ever-present on the young man's face who headed for the classroom, a clipboard in tow.
Uzumaki Naruto, since the destruction of their village, was reduced to an academy teacher. Though, the young flaxen-haired man of twenty-five hardly considered it 'reduced'. Waves of mingled sad and pleasant vibes coursed through the Kyuubi vessel's body as he gazed along the walls and floors of this building. He had accomplished his dream, and he would have it back when the reconstruction was complete, so his never-give-up and ever optimistic attitude remained. He had most of his friends, he had his wife and son, he still had his title... What more could he want?
When looking at the list of temporary jobs, Naruto had immediately pounced on the opportunity of an academy teacher. It was such a change in skill level, so why? Well, he started somewhere. Here, in an academy even though they were in different villages. This place reminded him of Iruka, his beloved instructor from his academy days that had given him the first sense of being wanted, the boosts of strength when he needed them, comfort... He wanted to give it back to the children of this hospitable village. He gladly walked the halls with a cheery expression. He gladly would pass his knowledge as much as he could. And today was special... It was a test to allow them to go to the next level; Genin. He recalled his failing time after time... He smiled lightly at the memory and shook his head, spiked and now long blonde hair moving with the subtle change in position of his head. Oh, he hoped none of these kids were like him in that sense. It was tough to fail.
Naruto stopped in front of a door, peering through the window with a contemplative blink. He checked his clipboard and then the number on the door. Yes, this was right. This was the class he'd be testing. A surge of excitement coursed through him. It was rare he'd enjoy simple pleasures in life since he was so busy... But, now he had some free time... He drew in his breath to stifle his childlike excitement; he demanded respect now... He closed his eyes, and he reached for the door, pulling it open and stepping inside the room.
Bright blue eyes scanned the classroom, a large smile on his face despite his previous thoughts to contain himself. He glowed.
"Good morning, class," he greeted, a note of kindness in his matured voice. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I will be testing you today."

Crystal closed the textbook that she she had been reading from, and looked up at the familiar face. From what her father, Kakashi Hatake, told her, Naruto was the one who rescued her from one of the flaming buildings ten years ago when the Leaf Village had been attacked. For that, she had gained a bit of admiration for him. "I'm ready sensei," she said, her eyes were beaming with excitement.
Outside was the sound of thunder, how would she get home after? Through the rain? Kakashi was currently on a mission with the other Jounin from this village, and it would be dangerous trying to cross the bridge in this weather. Crystal took the textbook and placed it gently under her chair, waiting for Naruto to start the exam. |

Mickcy was just sitting in the classroom, waiting for the teacher to arrive.
Some other students arrived and they picked a chair and sat down.
He heard the door going open, Uzumaki Naruto walked in.
"Good morning, class," He said. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I will be testing you today."
"Good Morning, Naruto-sensei." Mickcy said.
He waited for any instructions.

[first of all, even if you're quoting someone from a previous post it counts as godmoddling, and try to explain your surroundings more and the expression on your characters face, there are many ways to help you improve your posts. . . just helpful advice ;D] Crystal looked over to the kid sitting next to her, it was an Uchiha. She new that they were once a powerful clan, and very few shinobi have ever been able to surpass them, with the exception of one. Naruto Uzimaki had been able to defeat Sasuke Uchiha, this was one of the reasons that she admired him so much. [sorry, short post. . .] |

Artax was lying down somewhere, sleeping on one of the desks, as always.
He heard Naruto's greeting and woke up, "Whats the racket?I was trying to get some sleep here!" he says to himself "Wait, Naruto, the Hokage?What did we do to deserve the HOKAGE as class sensei?!?"

[your grammer is good but try posting more, like i said it's harder for the next person to post if you only post three lines. Also instead of putting says, put said, or he thought to himself, those sound better.] Crystal looked at the other Uchiha and rolled her eyes, sleeping in class again? If he continues doing that then he'll have a poor chance of succeeding. She looked out the window, it was now pooring harder then ever. "Hokage sensei, do you think my father will be alright on his mission?" She couldn't help but to ask this question, she was worried that he might not return. |

Artax looked back at Crystal, wondering what she wanted when she looked at him, probably nothing important, he thought.
Artax, being bored, grabbed his drawing map and started to draw some random things, like Naruto, the class, what he was dreaming, and other random things.
"If this takes longer, I'll leave, Gah"He thinks aloud,a bit too loud."Got better things to do"Artax said with a sigh.

Naruto's bright blue eyes scanned the classroom. His old sensei's daughter was there, same with Sasuke-teme's kids... He smiled lightly, noting the seeming shyness of Crystal and the... he blinked. Artax was his name, right? He almost reminded him of himself... Sleeping, drawing, calling out. He smirked.
"You guys didn't do anything too special. I just wanted the job until Konoha can go back home," he explained with his Trademark foxlike grin and a dismissive shrug.
Ah, he loved being here. The memories of his childhood were brought back to him as he stood up here, gazing over the young faces of the soon-to-be Genin- or he hoped so. Hopefully none of them would try to pull the stunts he did on Iruka-sensei. He sighed, shaking his head. The way they were referring to him- Hokage-sensei- was both honoring and amusing to him.
As he was spoken to by the young Hatake girl, crystalline blue eyes filled with a compassion and kindness turned and rested on her, and he smiled jubilantly.
"He'll be fine," he replied encouragingly, his tone showing no doubts at all. He knew Kakashi was one of the best Jounin in Konoha if not the best, and he offered a quick thumb's up. "And I can walk you home if you want after the test."
He added this part in more quietly as he leaned in with a small smile. He felt sympathy for her. He knew the agonizing feeling of waiting for someone you cared about to return from a perilous mission. She was so young, too, but he considered her lucky to have a shinobi like Kakashi for a father.
Next to deal with that drawing. He smirked deviously and hardened and narrowed his eyes in a painfully obvious playful manner, and he approached the young Uchiha, snatching the paper from him. And he frowned disapprovingly at his words.
"Well, if that's how you feel," he grumbled lowly, crossing his arms over his chest as he loomed over him. "I'd like to see you up in the front of the class. You may perform your techniques first."
He remembered this... He faced the same fate in his academy days... Hopefully Sasuke wasn't slacking off and would teach his kids well while they weren't here.

"Oops, shouldn't have said that a loud..."He thought to himself, its troublesome, like the rest.
"HENGE!"
Artax showed Naruto a Henge into Sasuke, it was pretty much an exact copy."I guess I have to do a Bunshin, too?"
Artax reverted back into himself. "BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!"
Artax created a bunshin, it was a bit off on the lenght by a few centimetre, but otherwise a match.
"So, Naruto, do I pass?"

"Thank you Hokage sensei," she replied with a smile. Yes, it was true that she wanted to be just like him. Never giving up or loosing hope, always working hard to become stronger, this is why she chose to become a ninja. Crystal hoped that one day, maybe she and her father would go on missions together, or fight along side eachother. She took a glance at the Uchiha who had been doodling, that's immature. Apparently Naruto had noticed and took the drawing away. Crystal waited until the Uchiha would perform his technique, it would soon be her turn. |

Naruto simply nodded in reply to Crystal with another smile. He couldn't wait to see her perform her jutsu; he wanted to see if she was a prodigy like her father. Of course, Kakashi made Chuunin by six-years-old, but that man was something special. Those kind of shinobi didn't come around too often...
The Hokage blinked dumbly as he already noted the Uchiha was on his feet and already performing his techniques. Rash little thing... He frowned distractedly as he crossed his arms. A perfect replication of his father and Naruto's former teammate... He was kind of hoping for a replica of him, but he got bonus points for copying someone he did not have right in front of him. He sighed wistfully at the thoughts of nostalgia clutching at his heart. Uchiha were always something different. The Bunshin was next to right on as well, and he shrugged in defeat. His personality, but his father's skill... Sasuke-teme, always one-upping him. Of course, he had the higher rank, and he knew his son was going to surpass that Uchiha jerk's! His eyes flared with a childish determination. Their antics and playful competition never faded... He nearly missed Artax speaking to him.
He scratched the back of his head, closing his eyes as his whiskered cheeks twitched thoughfully. "Well, I guess so," he replied in a false and teasing bitter tone, appearing saddened he couldn't catch a slacker. "You'll get your hitai-ate today."
The Kyuubi vessel sighed with another smile, turning to Crystal.
"Your turn," he urged gently.

Crystal was a little nervous, but only a little. It was quite intimidating to have your Hokage, an extremly skilled ninja, as a teacher. She took a deep breath and stood up. What jutsu did she want to perform? After a moment Crystal snapped her fingers, she had an idea, it was a unique jutsu that only people in the Kisuna clan could do, it belonged to her mother. Crystal walked to the front of the classroom, she only had one chance to get this right. "KISANA MORPHING JUTSU!" Crystal yelled as she did a quick hand sign. In just a split second she had transformed, it was the form of a wolf, but not just any wolf, her partner Fang, the summoning demon. |

Artax walked back to his seat, planning to take a nap again.
Artax smiled victoriously as he succeded in mocking the Hokage with a transform into his father...He knew they were old rivals.
Artax started drawing again, this time, he drew his father beating up Naruto, he smirked as he put his draw book away.
Artax looked at Crystal, he wonderd to himself how she'll do it, "She'll probably do worse than me"he thought arrogantly, and smirked at Crystal

Naruto smiled encouragingly at Crystal as she stood, nodding as if to say 'go on, go on'. The requirements for passing were two E-ranked jutsu; it wasn't all that hard, he hoped. The Rokudaime blinked as she shouted out the name of her technique, and inwardly, he felt a tad embarrassed. He couldn't make a bunshin when he was their age, and they were performing exceptionally or blood-line traits. Truly impressive... But, it was as Kakashi said. The new generations will always surpass the old. He sighed, but he couldn't help but feel a small sense of pride.
The likeliness of the wolf before him was very impressive, and the young blonde Hokage beamed with a grin. They seemed to be making their own rules this exam... but he didn't mind; it was entertaining- especially to see the academy student try to mock him. If he wasn't at such a level that far surpassed the boy, he'd love to challenge him to a fight to beat some of the Trademark Uchiha ego out of him, but he had more sense now-, and he wasn't very strict with rules with children. Demanding so much of them would hold them back and pressure them. He didn't want to do that to the future strength of their once-noble village. He knew it wouldn't happen again, though. His eyes burned with a determination at the thought, but he snapped from his reverie as he refocused his bright gaze upon the Hatake girl again.
"Very good," Naruto praised with a grin. "Just show me a Bunshin no Jutsu, and you can pass!"
