Chapter 10
"Boruto Uzumaki!".
"Yes, Shino Sensei!".
"Inojin Yamanaka!".
"Hai!".
"Shikadai Nara!"
"Here!".
"Iwabe Yuino!".
"I'm here".
"Metal Lee!".
"Y-yes? Oh, yes, Shino Sensei!".
"Denki Kaminarimon!".
"Present, Shino Sensei".
"Chocho Akimichi".
"That's not my real last name, but I'm here".
"Mitsuki?"
"Here...".
"And lastly, Sarada Uchiha".
"Hai!".
It was time! We were currently doing the exam! We were becoming Genin! We did it in groups, so that's why I'm with the squad.
By the way, everyone in class passed the test, which we needed to do before this. The test was pretty easy to do, that's also the reason why everyone passed. Even Iwabe.
Shino Sensei explained what we needed to do and a huge smile appeared on my face. I saw via the corners of my eyes that Shikadai was looking at me, but I didn't care. We were becoming Genin! I want to become Jounin too, just as Konohamaru Sensei. But I want to be stronger than him. I respect him, by the way. I always did.
"So, do you understand, Team 1?," Shino Sensei asked. "Yes!," we said. I'm so excited and we're going to pass as a team!!
The gun went of and we all started running. We had one destination: the flag on the Hokage's office!
"Sarada, this way!," I shouted to her, so she won't lose us. "I'm coming!," she replied. "Boruto, watch out!," Shikadai shouted and I dodged the kunai that was fired. I kept running and running while getting to the flag. If we have it, we'll become Genin. And the best thing is, we're already near it!
"You don't have time to look at your computer, Denki! Come on, we're almost there!," I heard Iwabe shouting to Denki. I saw he had his computer in his hands and he was struggling to put it back on his back. I realised I was not looking where I was walking and I bumped into a pole. "Ow!," I yelled. Stupid pole. "Boruto, what are you doing?," Shikadai asked me and I shook my head. "Let's go on!," I said. My face still hurt a bit, but I didn't care. I only cared about victory! Actually, if you lose, you'll learn more than that you win. And I always learn because I always lose, but okay, the flag is in sight, as it already was. And I forgot to tell that there are a few more flags. Only 1 team will stay unranked and that's pretty sad. I hope I'll become Genin (I already said that 105724067 times, but okay *wink wink*).
I felt a hand grabbing my wrist and pulling me up. "Hey, Mitsuki! Thank you!," I said. "You should pay attention, at least," Mitsuki said when I was standing on the ground. "I know," I said. "But, thank you for looking out for me". Mitsuki smiled. "Uh, hey! We need to go on! I want to eat lightly salted potato chips today," Chocho whined and we laughed. "Today it's the last day that I can buy it". "Lightly salted?," Shikadai asked. "It actually makes no difference. Not at all". A few people (me included) started snickering. "It's true, but okay. Let's go on," Shikadai said and we went on. We saw that other teams were also approaching the flags from all sides, but we didn't care, because we were close too. "You're gonna lose! You're gonna lose!," I teased the other team and Sarada threw a kunai at me, which I could dodge in time. "Stop that, Boruto," she said and I looked at her with a pokerface. "Okay...". "Oh, are you two together?," Metal asked out of nowhere and I facepalmed. "No, we're not. We're just friends," I said. That was the truth. We we're just friends. And I'm gonna help her when she's Hokage, as a friend! Best friend? More than that, you say? So mega best friends? Hahaha, don't worry, I was just joking with you. Moving on, we're just friends.
"Team 1 is almost at the Hokage Office," we heard the alarm saying and we said "Yes!" at the same time. "Oh, that was cool!," Inojin said and we laughed. Yes, that was cool and funny at the same time. I always like it when I say something at the same time with someone else. I don't know why, but it is funny. It actually shouldn't be funny, but okay. I like it, do you too?
I saw my father waving and us and I waved back. "Hey, Dad!," I shouted. "Damn, Boruto. Damn, chill your ass," Shikadai said and we laughed. "Sorry, Shikadai," I said and smiled.
We were walking up the stairs. Yes, we were walking, because we were the first team to get there. "Let's just talk about something. We're early," I said. "No! We need to break the record! If we go on, we'll be the fastest team to complete the Exam, Boruto!," Sarada said and I nodded. She's actually right about that. So we ran up (since we were in the middle of the long ass stairs). I grabbed the flag. "We did it!," I said. We got into a group hug. "We made it! We're Genin". "Good job, Team 1," Shino Sensei said out of nowhere. Probably he was just standing there the whole time. Other teams were also approaching and got their flags. "Shino Sensei, we made it! We broke the record!," I wheezed out. "I saw. Congratulations," Shino Sensei said and we smiled. "You did a good job this whole year, Team 1".
After the Exam we were standing in line. It was pretty sad that the Team that was last didn't make it in time. "Okay, everyone... I'm very grateful to tell you that you passed the Exam, which doesn't count for the team that came here last. And besides that, Team 1 broke the record!," Shino Sensei said and everyone clapped. Shino Sensei gave us our headbands first.
We didn't wait for a sign from Shino Sensei to leave and ran to the railing of the Hokage Office. We jumped into the air with the headbands in our hands. That's how we ended our story. We're fighters, we're Ninja's!
