Minato Template Chapter 44 : Trouble Coming (Rewrite)

Finally, the first test started and everyone regretted that this was not a fight or a cool shinobi test but a written test.

Team 10 and 7 were feeling the same thing, even Kirito. He already knows the answers to all the questions but he still did not like this test. "Written test is the worst," muttered Kirito with an exaggerated sigh.

Naruto and Ino were not faring well either as both of them too did not like the written test.

Naruto especially, as he did not know any of the questions.

Now Kirito know that all the questions are much harder for a normal Genin and thus there is a high chance that the exam rule is just like how they were in the canon and if Naruto plays his cards right then he might be able to pass.

"It's not like Hiruzen let the Jinchuriki of the village fail here right? If so, who is going to fight the other shinobi Genins and Jinchuriki if Naruto is not there," thought Kirito.

'Well there is of course me,' Kirito then thought and a sweat drop appeared on his face.

There is the possibility that Naruto can pass just like in the canon, especially after he left his entire exam sheet paper blank.

Another reason that Kirito could think about was Sasuke. Maybe Hiruzen had to pass Naruto because if he had failed then their precious Sasuke Kun which all those civilians worshipped would have also been disqualified and thus the civilian council would have been a pain in the neck for Hiruzen.

If those two reasons are still valid then there is nothing to worry about as Naruto will pass this time just like that.

Kirito just hopes that Hiruzen's interest in him is enough to pass Naruto as he did in canon.

As the test went on, many of the participants started to cheat. This was also what happened in the canon and Kirito does not worry about this as much.

Naruto was looking around to get some answers to his problem but there was no chance.

Kirito already has formed a plan. He showed his answer sheet to Ino who was sitting behind him and not only passed the answers but also passed a message to help out Naruto once she was done with her question.

Shikamaru, Sakura and Sasuke didn't need any help. 

Shikamaru and Sakura are smart enough to answer the question while Sasuke has his cheat eyes so no problem there. 

"Why does my idiot brother have to sit in the front seat" complains Kirito.

Everyone knows that sitting behind a smart person is better if the test is going to be hard. This Kirito knows from personal experience.

Ino also understood that Naruto was having a problem and after she was done with her sheet, she started to use her mind to transfer Jutsu to possess Naruto's body and started writing the question for him.

There might be a possibility that Naruto will pass but Kirito does not want to take any chances.

Once the trouble part was done, Kirito started to look around in his leisure and see what others were doing.

"Having a Dojutsu is helpful". mutters Kirito when he sees Sasuke and Neji using their Saringan and Byakugan to cheat.

Another interesting thing which Kirito always wondered about was whether Orochimaru was also present when everyone was giving their written test.

The answer is nope. Hardly anyone and escape from his hyper focus and he did not sense Orochimaru at all.

Soon the test ended and Ibiki who looked much more dangerous in real than in the anime gave everyone the 10th question.

Kirito already has explained to Ino and Naruto that no matter what, until he doesn't say it, do not quit.

It was just a reassurance considering how canon and alternative timelines just interchange in this world so far.

Nonetheless, everyone who stayed passed the test. None of the Konoha 12 failed and it was pretty much like the canon.

Then the first entry of Anko happens. And yes all the anime and fanfic were right about her appearance.

She is damn hot and sexy but Kirito did not let this show on his face because Ino and Haku were giving him side glances which he saw thanks to his senses.

Kirito is still not sure what is the deal with these two but he already knows that he is currently surrounded by muddy water and he better take caution.

Although he is starting to get some hints. But don't want to believe it. It's these hints which ultimately lead to a life full of sorrow and pain.

If there is one thing which Kirito likes about his powers is the incredible senses he has.

Finally, everyone enters the forest of death and Kirito for the first time senses the malicious aura of Orochimaru.

'Damn, this feeling is ten times worst than Zabuza,' thought Kirito.

Kirito is not sure whether he can take care of Orochimaru currently, He does know that Orochimaru will never be able to catch him if he so wants to but one fighting is something which Kirito is not sure of right now.

Anko soon gave the scroll to everyone and teams 7, 8, 9, and 10 and Haku's team which was team 18 and Choji's team which was team 16 got there their scrolls as well.

Finally, the team entered the forest of death and time Kirito was sensing Orochimaru and was making sure that he kept his distance from that snake bastard.

Even if he ended up coming towards his team or Haku's team then Kirito could simply use Hiraishin and get the hell out of there.

But Kirito did not know that the world had already started to change massively, not only because this world was different from the canon but also because of his intervention.

Soon somewhere a little far from the forest of death, a swirling portal opened and a masked man came out with a black coat with a red cloud printed on it.
