Kenji went towards the Hokage's office. After reag the front of his room, he knocked.

  **Knoock**

  "e in."

  Keered after listening to the and. He bowed and greeted, "Lord Hokage."

  "Good m, Kenji. So, what do you want to say?"

  "Sir, two of my students think that they are ready to take the sed exam. Even though I tried to tell them that they should take their time in learning this jutsu, they kept saying they are fident enough to take the exam," Kenji said with frustration in his voice.

  Hiruzen smiled and asked, "Are those students Kaida and Yomi?"

  Kenji was surprised by this suddeion. How did Lord Hokage know about their names sihis i had just occurred?

  Seeing his face, Hiruzen replied, "They both are quite hardw and talented, so it was not difficult to guess their names. You go bad tell them they will have to take their exam in one hour in training area 13."

  Kenji just nodded respectfully a.

  Hiruzen had a smile on his face thinking about how Konoha would have two more talented ninjas iure. He called his secretary and told her that he would be busy for 2 or 3 hours. He then told Shikaku to hahe work in his abseer one hour.

  The secretary just nodded a back. Shikaku, from the Nara , the father of Shikamaru Nara, and the current Jonin ander of Konoha, had a great mind but a zy personality. When he heard that Hiruzen transferred all his work to him, he couldn't help but curse under his breath.

  ---

  Kenji went back to the academy and called Kaida and Yomi. He told them that they would have to take the exam in training area 13 in one hour, and that Lord Hokage himself would be watg.

  Kaida just nodded, but Yomi got tense hearing that they would have to take the exam in one hour and that Lord Hokage himself was watg. But remembering their training and Kaida's fiden their ability when he was talking to Kenji, she calmed down.

  They swiftly made their way toward training area 13. Konoha has many forests ihe vilge, with varyihs named as training areas for ninjas. One pay and book a training ground if they want to practiething new or dangerous.

  Training area 13 was in the west of the academy. It was a ft ground the size of four football fields, surrounded by a thick yer of trees. Kaida and Yomi went to the training area and started doing warm-up exercises.

  After around half an hour, Kenji and Hokage came to the training area. Seeing both of them doing some light exercises, Hiruzen smiled a little.

  "Both of you e here, it's time to begiest," Kenji said.

  When they heard the and, both of them went toward Kenji. Seeing that Hokage resent, both of them bowed their heads.

  "It has been so long, how are you guys doing?" Hokage asked.

  "We have been practig hard, just as you said st time," Yomi replied with a wide smile on her face.

  "Very well. I heard that you guys want to take your sed exam. Are you guys fident in your use of shuriken and those three jutsu?"

  "Yes, Hokage," Kaida replied.

  "Very well, you guys have to show your skills in shuriken throwing. Hit those targets first."

  When he said that, three targets emerged from the ground at a distance of 250 meters. First, Yomi decided to take this test. She went forward and threw three shuriken back to back, and all of them hit the dead ter of the target. Simirly, Kaida took the test, and with simir speed, he hit the target back to back at dead ter.

  Seeing this, Hiruzen smiled and said, "Very good. Now I will throw a target in the air at the same distance. You guys have to hit the target before it reaches the ground."

  This time, Kaida decided to take the exam first. Hiruzen used his chakra to make a target like the previous time but tossed it in the air. When it was in the middle of the air, Kaida took out a shuriken and threw it at the target, hitting the dead ter again.

  This was enough to pass any student, but Hiruzen decided to check the limit of Kaida, so this time he tossed three targets at on the air. Seeing this, Kaida took out three shuriken and threw them one by one. All of them hit the target at the ter. This time, he threw five targets in the air. Seeing Kaida quickly shifted toward Yomi and shouted, "Yomi, give me your on bag!"

  Yomi threw her bag as fast as she could. Kaida caught the bag and swiftly took out five shuriken from it and threw them at the target one by one. But due to time straints, one shuriken missed the ter by a little.

  Hiruzen was surprised by the quick deaking capability of Kaida, as he fot that academy students had only six shurikens allotted to them and increased the number of targets. He turoward Kenji and asked, " you please retrieve those shurikens?"

  "Yes, Lord Hokage," Kenji quickly used the body flicker jutsu and brought all those shurikens back. Hiruzen poioward Yomi, and Kenji gave all those shuriken to Yomi. Yomi quickly uood what that meant. This was her time for the test, so she got ready. Hiruzen once again did the same thing, and Yomi was able to hit all the targets.

  After Yomi hit her st target, Hiruzen said, "Very good, both of you. That's enough. Now let's proceed toward jutsu."

  Kaida and Yomi became ready to show their progress in ninjutsu. The Hokage said...
