Dosu sent a strange look in Talim's direction, she seemed to be thinking about something...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The tenth question, you may chose to accept, or decline. Decline, and you fail, but are welcome to come take the exam next year.
Accept, and fail, you will remain a genin... forever."
A stunned silance went through the room.

You gotta be out there You gotta be somewhere Wherever you are I’m waiting… Cause there are these nights when I sing myself to sleep And I’m hoping my dreams bring You close to me Are you listening?
Safaya nodded. "Duh I accept." She said mentally.
Hear me I’m crying out I’m ready now Turn my world upside down Find me I’m lost inside this crowd It’s getting loud I need you to see I’m screaming for you to please Hear me Can you hear me?
Talim started to get flashbacks.......
"Cori-san!!" A five year old Talim hugged Cori and giggled.
"Talim, what do you want to play today??" She asked.
"Hide and go seek!!" Talim said.
I used to be scared of Letting someone in But it gets so lonely Being on my own With no one to talk to and No one to hold me I’m not always strong Oh I need you here
"Who is that?" Talim asked herself.
Are you listening? I’m restless and wild I fall but I try I need someone to understand (Can you hear me?) I’m lost in my thoughts And baby I’ve fought For all that I’ve got Can you hear me?

"But... if even only one person in you cell declines... the whole cell fails along with them." Ibiki smirked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Izumi leaned against one of the walls in the dark dampened hallways.
Sliding down it until she was sitting on the cold ground, she couldn't help but think...
'What if Talim and the others don't make it through the first exam?
What then...?'
Helplessness... One of the biggest curses ever bestowed upon mankind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Talim snap out of it" Dosu hissed "Now's not the time to daydream."

Talim blinked and looked over at Dosu. "Huh??" She said. "Oh yeah.....I accept..." She thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yes....the examiner is Ibiki." Kakashi said.

Okari nodded when she noticed the look Cori was giving her, and smiled encourigingly 'Oh I'm in alright...'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dosu have Talim a "You're hopeless" look before turning his attention back to Ibiki.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quite a few people decided to leave, their cells failing along with them.
Naruto raised a shuddering had in the air.

"Naruto!!" Sakura and Sasuke thought at once.
He slammed his head down. "Don't underestimate me!!" he shouted. "I've already gotten this far I won't give up now!!" He shouted.
Smiles formed on everyones face, even Talim's. "He's brave." She commented aloud.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"He knows the human mind like the back of his hand." Kakashi continued.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ten Ten shook her head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Baka." Ino said.

Cori facefaults,'Should have seen that one coming. That means Sasuke still in. Wait go away emotions.' she thinks furious at her self for actually letting her emotions come back even for a few seconds.

Naruto continues "I won't quit, and I won't run! I don't CARE if I have to stay a genin all my life, I'll still become Hokage, even if it has to be out of pure stubborness alone!"
Ibiki smirked 'There's still a fair few of them left, I must say, I'm impressed.'
"Anyone else who wishes to leave, do so now."
Nothing.
Ibiki's smirk grew "Well then... everyone who's still here...
You've just passed the first exam!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Izumi made her way inside...
Again, she met Kakashi... along with Kurina, Gai, and another elite she didn't know...

Cori blinked that was it. 'Who ever knew elite's could be so melo-dramatic.' Cori thought while glancing at Sasuke.

"What??" Temari asked as she stood up. "Then what were the questions for?!!?"
"Baka, to test your information gathering skills." Safaya said as she rolled her eyes.
