Rabbit Princess [Gaara] [1]

"Next, Uchiha Sasuke," Iruka called out. Sasuke walked over quietly, did the Jutsu and then turned back once Iruka had nodded at him in approval. He turned back to the nonchalant himself. "Alright. Next, Uzumaki Naruto,"

Sasuke came over to the other side and stopped next to Tsukiko, who was watching Naruto strut forward. Tsukiko had barely observed Sasuke next to her when she was pushed out of the way and Sakura took her place, wanting to be next to Sasuke. But Tsukiko was glad about it. What if she had stood there and contracted that disease?!

Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino both chided at Naruto for making them get stuck with this procedure once more but Naruto didn't seem to care, as per usual. Tsukiko watched as he transformed but as the smoke subsided, it was revealed he had used the Harem Jutsu.

This behaviour was typical of Naruto. Even Tsukiko had blushed when he had used it for the first time in front of them but like most of the class, she was no longer affected by it. Iruka Sensei on the other hand... He was shocked out of his wits and flew off with a bloody nose.

"How was that? I call it the Harem Jutsu!" Naruto asked as he transformed back into himself from that female version, laughing loudly. Iruka Sensei gained his senses and was, very obviously, not pleased with this.

"You idiot!" Iruka Senseishouted at the blond 12-year-old. "Don't invent such a dumb Jutsu!" Tsukiko hid back a chuckle or two at the ruckus.

The following day, Otsutsuki Tsukiko came prepared and extremely determined. It was the day that they would give their final exams and then, if they passed with appropriate scores, would receive their new Forehead Protectors with the Konohagakure's symbol on them. Tsukiko was thrilled.

Ever since she was a child, Tsukiko had always wanted one of them. To be recognised as a brilliant Kunoichi who had graduated from the Konoha Ninja Academy was something she had always looked forward to. Tsukiko could not wait to represent Konohagakure.

Their first exam was a written one, which was something Tsukiko was good at. Unlike Naruto who loved pranking, Tsukiko did not usually have much to do, and she rarely talked to anyone but her tailed beast. And so Tsukiko ever did was to study and try out Jutsus. Her monthly allowance was all spent on books. Sometimes, she would even skip dinner to buy a book.

The next exam was a practical one, which asked of the students to perform several Jutsus to their teachers to show them that they were now a full-fledged Genin and ready to head out to the world out there and complete missions. Tsukiko breezed through the examination.

"We will now start the final exam," Iruka told the students. "When your name is called proceed to the testing room. The final test will be on the Clone Jutsu," Tsukiko turned to look at Naruto, knowing he won't get it.

"Practice, Naruto," Tsukiko said as she walked over to him. The blond looked at her miserably and she showed him the hand seals for the transformation. Naruto tried them a few times and failed horrendously every single time.

"I can never do it," Naruto groaned as they looked at his rather pitiful clone that laid on the floor. It was discoloured and seemed like it could not get up for the life of it. Tsukiko frowned as it vanished with a loud poof.

"Don't say that, Usa!" Tsukiko told him. "You just need a little more practice, then you will be able to do it. We can try it again," Tsukiko was about to show him how to do it when her name was called out by Iruka. "Oh no, I've got to go,"
