Naruto gulped as the world of pain he knew he was in for slowly approached him.
Hinata couldn't help but giggle as she watched Iruka go off and lecture Naruto about his terrible behavior. The two looked so much like brothers that at times it was hard to believe they weren't actually related.
Naruto at least looked a little ashamed as Iruka went off on him. After a while, he was finally able to make him stop by saying he could remove all he had done right now. The chunin was obviously confused, but allowed him to go on. Naruto clasped his hands together working his way through several hand signs before whispering release and pointing out of the window. Iruka and Hinata could only look in awe as the Hokage Monument looked as clear as it had the previous day.
"What did you do?" he asked.
"I just used the reverse seals I placed up there. I knew you were probably going to make me clean it up, so I decided to save some time."
He grinned and rubbed the back of his head as Iruka simply sighed. While he was still upset about the whole debacle, he was also quite proud of the level of skill and forethought Naruto needed to pull it off. He decided to let him off easy, with a promised visit with the Hokage after everything was over.
As everyone settled into their seats, Iruka stood in front of the class and began his speech.
"Before we start with the examinations, I just wanted to say how proud I am of all of you. You all have worked so hard to reach this point and I have been honored to be your teacher. Remember all of the lessons you have learned here and let them guide you to success out there in the real world."
And with that he began calling up the first students.
The graduation exam for the academy was split up into five parts: a written exam, an accuracy test, a taijutsu spar, the academy three, and a special section to demonstrate any personal abilities that could warrant extra credit.
Many of the students from civilian families opted out from this particular section. They mostly felt that any skills that they could demonstrate would be unimpressive when compared to the abilities passed down through clan families. For example, Kiba and Akamaru showed off their Tsuuga, Hinata demonstrated katas of the jyuuken, and Sasuke let loose his clan's signature goukakyuu no jutsu. After the chatter over Sasuke's technique died down, Naruto was finally called up and he could barely contain his excitement. He ran to the center of the courtyard with his bag of sealing materials slung over his shoulder.
Iruka and the two teachers grading with him felt a sense of dread wash over them as the class prankster approached to demonstrate his "individual talent."
"Alright Naruto, what do you have planned for us today, and please be serious. You know this can go a long way to affect your grade."
"Don't you worry Iruka-sensei. I wouldn't mess this up for sake of a joke. This time, I am going to graduate. I'm ready to show you what I can really do!"
Iruka gave the confident smile. "Alright, and what do you have prepared?"
Naruto knelt and began pulling out scrolls and bottles of ink out of his bag. "I'm going to demonstrate some specials seals that I made all by myself! My presentation is going to have multiple parts, but I've got the really complicated one already made. I just wanted to show you that I can do the first part by myself before moving on."
Iruka was confused, but he still nodded. "Alright then, you may begin."
Naruto gave him one last smile, before his face changed to one of deep concentration. He dipped his brush into the special ink and began his careful strokes along the scroll.
"What the hell does that idiot think he's doing?" Kiba whispered to Shino, as the watched the blonde scribble away on some scroll.
"I believe he is attempting to utilize his proficiency in fuinjutsu for this segment of the test," Shino replied in his monotone voice.
"What proficiency? I love Naruto as much as the next guy, but the guy's not too bright. I know he sometimes uses seals for his pranks, but come on. Does he really think he's good enough for it to help him with the test?"
"Considering he is halfway through the intermediate series, one would assume that he knows what he is doing."
"How the hell do you know that?"
Shino raised a hand as one of his kikaichu insects crawled up his finger. "I send my helpers to observe everyone in the academy. I did it to learn as much as I could about my potential teammates and keeps tabs on them in the event something went awry during the day."
Kiba looked shocked for a moment, before grumbling, "I swear, if I see anything that even resembles a tick in Akamaru's fur, I'm gonna-"
"Done Iruka-sensei!" Naruto yelled as he wiped his brow, before handing the fruit of his labor over to to Iruka.
Iruka looked over the scroll pretending to inspect it, when he was really trying to save face in front of the other judges. To be honest, fuinjutsu had been a subject that always went over his head. Of course he had the required knowledge needed for someone of chunin rank, but he had never really looked too into it.
"Alright Naruto. It looks very impressive, but what does it do exactly?"
Naruto's face lit up with his signiture grin as he took back the scroll. "I'm happy to show ya, but I'm gonna need you or one of the other teachers to help me with a demonstration."
He looked behind Iruka over at the other two teachers and asked, "Do any of you know any raiton jutsu?"
