Iris [Naruto Fanfiction]

The night before the exams, I couldn't sleep very well so I read through my spell book. Even though I've had it for a while, I still haven't read through the entire thing. As I skimmed through the pages, one title caught my eye.

"The Seven Wonders," I read aloud. "The Seven Wonders are the abilities a supreme witch has that most witches do not possess. If a witch completes all seven wonders in one trial, she will be gifted with the title of 'The Supreme Witch', and will be immune to all pre-existing illnesses. She will be the embodiment of magic itself. Their very presence will cause the air to be filled with sheer power."

My eyes basically light up. I continued to read the rest in my head. 'To be the Supreme, the witch must possess these seven abilities: 1.) Telekinesis, the ability to move objects with ones mind. 2.) Transmutation, move from one place to another without occupying any physical space in between. 3.) Pyrokinesis, ability to create, control, and manipulate fire. 4.) Divination, ability to obtain knowledge of an object, person, location, or physical event through means other than the person's physical senses. 5.) Concilium, controlling the mind of someone else. 6.) Vitalum vitalus, resurrecting people or animals from the dead. 7.) Descensum, project ones soul into the nether worlds of the afterlife. Only after completing all seven wonders will a witch become the supreme.'

I close the book and put it back in the box. I stared down at my shaky hands. I've already done four of the seven wonders. Does that mean what I think it means?

On the day of the exams, Team 7 met at the academy. After Sakura finally arrived, we walked into the building. When we climb a few flights of stairs, we see a crowd of people near the door that's being blocked by two other guys.

"You think this is a joke?" the one on the right says. "Chunin are meant to lead missions. You have the lives of your squad members in your hands so you better be tough enough to take the heat. Delicate little girls don't belong here."

"We're just thinning out the herd," the other one added. He looks awfully similar to the guy who brought me here. "You won't pass anyway so go home and play with your dolls."

"Real nice speech," Sasuke said, walking towards the two boy. "Now the both of you better step aside and let me through. And while you're at it, reverse the genjutsu. We're going to the third floor."

What's he going on about? I thought we were already on the third floor.

"Well, well, you noticed our illusion," said Izumo's look alike. Oh, this really is a genjutsu.

"Of course. Tell them Sakura, you must've seen it before anyone else did."

"Yeah," Sakura said confidently. "This is only the second floor."

I nodded my head, trying to play along and not look like the slow one of the group. But I look over at Naruto who also seems like he doesn't know what's happening. "Do you have any idea what's going on?" I whisper to him.

"Not a clue," he whispers back, but nods and plays along just like I did.

The sign that read 301 became 201 after the dudes released the genjutsu.

"So you saw through the illusion," the spikey-haired guy said. "Lets see you deal with this." He ran towards Sasuke and prepared to kick him. Sasuke aimed a kick at the guy as well, but they were both stopped by a boy in a green spandex suit and a bowl cut. This guy's fast.

"What happened to the plan?" asked a boy with king brown hair. He must be spandex's teammate. "I though you were the one who said to keep a low profile and to not show anyone our skill level."
