Today was finally the day Chuinn Exams. Karen was up and getting ready for the day. She knew that she would do great in the Exams, but she didn't know how well her teammates for the Chuinn Exams for going to do since she didn't know that well except from what she had learned from her run-in with the blue-haired boy.
She was getting ready as she brushed her long red hair back into a long ponytail. After doing that, she put on one of her dark green shirts with her favorite black jacket with grey pants and sunglasses.
She then heard a knock on her apartment door.
"Coming!" She called out, walking out of her bedroom and towards the door to see Kakashi standing outside the door.
"Morning, Karen," Kakashi greeted lazily.
"What are you doing here?" Karen asked.
"I came to tell you that you a supposed to meet up with the two Genin you will be taking the exam with at the Academy," Kakashi said.
"Got it, but seriously you don't tell me about me teaming up with two to other people before the test after finding out from one of them the day Iruka tested me," Karen stated, putting her sandals on as she exited the apartment.
"I meant to tell you before you left with the application," He told her with a close eye smile before taking off.
"Whatever," Karen said as she closed and locked the door before she headed to the Academy.
***
As she arrived at the Academy, she saw Naruto and Sasuke standing outside.
"Karen, you are not the first one here for once!" Naruto said, smiling at Karen as he saw her arrive at the academy.
"Yeah, I was busy dealing with a visit from Kakashi-sensei," Karen said with her arms crossed."Where Sakura also have you seen a blue hair boy arrive yet?" She asked.
"She not here yet, and no, I haven't seen a blue-haired boy. Why do you ask, is he your new boyfriend?" Naruto asked curiously as Sasuke just stared at Naruto like the idiot he was.
"No, idiot, just someone I ran into a few days ago," Karen replied.
After a bit of time, Sakura walked up to the Academy.
"Sakura! Hey, you're late!" Naruto called out to seeing that she had arrived.
"Uh, right, sorry, guys," Sakura said sheepishly before looking over at Sasuke."Good morning, Sasuke," She greeted calmly.
Sasuke looked at Sakura, then back at Karen, who simply shrugged. She couldn't stand Sakura, so it wasn't like she kept track of the girl's behavior.
They walked inside to head to the assigned area; however, before they could continue, they were stopped by two guys beating up a guy in green and a girl with two bun hairstyles.
"Some of you won't survive the exams. Others will be wrecked for life, and some of you may go crazy. For Chunin, it's always life and death. You think it a joke Chunin are qualified to lead missions. The lives of your squad members are in your hands, so you better be tough enough to take the heat. Delicate little girls don't belong here."
"Nice speech, but I'm definitely not a delicate little girl," Karen commented.
"Both of you step aside and let me through," Sasuke said, walking up towards them."And while you are at it, reverse the Genjutsu."
There were murmurs of what Sasuke from behind them as Karen let out a sigh.
"Go ahead, tell them, Sakura," Sasuke said, looking back at her."I'm sure you saw it before anyone else."
"Huh?" Sakura said, confused.
"You have the sharpest eyes and the best analytical skills on our squad. You must have seen this is coming a mile away," Sasuke commented.
"I must have?" Sakura questioned."Well sure! Of course. Sure I spotted it right away. This is only the second floor."
"What a lier," A voice said from behind Karen, making her quick turn around to see a familiar blue hair boy as the sign turned to say 201."She is only saying she spotted it to look good," He said.
"That's sad but true," A taller boy with long wavy blonde hair in a bun commented, walking Iver towards his blue hair teammate.
"Well, aren't we the smart ones? So you saw through the illusion," The guy with badges on hai face said, sending a kick toward Sauske, which was stopped by the boy in the green jumpsuit.
"Hey, what happened to the plan?" A guy with long brown hair asked, walking up towards the boy in the jumpsuit.
Suddenly the boy in the jumpsuit walked up to Sakura.
"My name is Rock Lee, your Sakura. Please be my girlfriend," He said.
"Absolutely not," Sakura said harshly and walked away. Lee's head dropped in sadness as he walked over towards the wall.
"You what your name?" The guy with lavender eyes demanded from Sauske.
"It common courtesy to give your name first?" Sasuke asked with a smirk.
"Hey, you're a rookie, aren't you?" He asked. "How old are you anyway?"
"I'm not obliged to answer," Sasuke replied.
"What's that?"
"Come on, let's go. This is a waste of time," the blonde-haired boy said, looking at Takuma before nodding at Karen as they headed off for the third floor with the three others following.
***
After another encounter with Rock, Lee challenged Sasuke to a fight, which he won.
The two teams walked over towards the door to the exam area, where they saw Kakashi and a beautiful woman with silky white hair stopped at her upper back.
"Glad you came, Sakura, for your sake and the others," Kakashi said, looking at Sakura.
"Huh?" The three questione as Karen looked over at the white hair female.
"Now you can all formally register for the Chunin Exams," He said.
"Why, what do you mean?" Sakura asked.
"You see, only three groups are allowed to apply for and take the exam. That's the way it always been," Kakashi explained."However, since you have four members, Karen would have to take it alone, but instead, Karen will be joining Team four since their other member can't enter due to an accident on their last mission."
"So then you lied about the decision being individual?" Sakura asked. "And why was she going to be able to take it alone if you have to be in groups of three?"
"I know Takuma didn't say it back there, so I will say it for him," The blonde hair boy sated, looking at Sakura."Compared to those other shinobi who couldn't see past the Genjustu. You're even more pathetic. Not only didn't you notice the Genjustu, but you clearly can't see that Karen here is stronger and smarter than you, so pathetic."
"Kinji r,ight I? I was just being nice not to say it, but it's true," Takuma said.
"Okay, you boys, don't say anything else and go on inside with Karen and remember to work as a team in the Exams. I know you will do well together even if she is a temporary team member," The woman said, letting them through.
"Yes, Ayame-sensei," The two boys said as they walked forward to enter the room.
