The Spirit of Konoha, Team of friendship!

Summary – The second story to Naruto. What is the fate of this team that reeks of friendship? Will they be able to survive the war?

A/N – This would be my first story involving more than one chapter. My second story rather... anyway as a side note I will leave translations for those of you who don't understand too much about Japanese xD.

Chapter 1 – Annonymous friendship

Team 2, Konoha first-year rookies. The test they were given was a capture and interrogate mission. Capture their jounin sensei and they would pass.
'Come at me with the intention to kill'
They each had one thing in common that helped them pass. Teamwork. They worked together as a team and as friends and with struggle, beat their jounin instructor. Though not the strongest of the village, they were certainly intelligent. Having nothing but their basic ninja equipment, sharp, steel wire and their capable minds they provided enough willpower to defeat their jounin instrustor.
They concealed themselves, the ovbious thing to do when you are a ninja. The jounin jumped incredibly high and managed to locate one person well concealed in the foliage of a nearby tree. He smirked and threw a kunai at his target. As expected, there was a rustle and the jounin instructor went to inspect his catch. What he didn't expect was that there was the body, the knife embedded in the boy's eye and bent backwards over the branch. He was shocked but noting something suspicious he touched the boy and it went up in smoke.
'A log, thoughtful. A pretty weak genjutsu though.'
Unfortunately there was an explosive tag hidden inside the log, small yet large enough to pack a punch. It blew up and along with the splinters sent the jounin a little way aways from the branch and on the ground.
'Not bad for genin'
He stood up, looking at the above branch. It was a tough branch and it held firm, even with the large explosion. He stuck his hands in his pockets and casually walked off toward the direction of the second person. He stuck his head through the foliage and came face to face with his student. She looked shocked and retreated to a nearby tree. The instrutor smiled and formed the tiger seal.

"Katon, Gokakyuu no jutsu!"

the flames incinerated the tree and just as he expected, there was no body. He crouched and put his ear to the ground. Nothing.
'Did i really kill her?'
He seemed worried as a shocked expression formed on his face. He noticed something on the floor. Footsteps.
'She ran then she saw me put my head down. So she stopped. Then when she realised she was safe to move she did. Smart girl.'
He bolted to the river and dived in and waited. He sat and thought.
'Both girl and boy ran and hid somewhere. The third girl I still can't locate her. Where could she have hidden. The kawarimi was a thoughtful trick and embedding the exploding tag in the log was an amazing feat. I've only seen special hyuuga do that and still they took up quite a bit of chakra. The girl seems to be light on her feet, and has amazing senses.
I have yet to find out the abilities od the third girl yet she, as teams must be balanced, must be lacking in the thought department. Either that or she was very lazy and couldn't be bothered to do the tests... probably the former.'
He decided that now was the time to act and he jumped out of the water. He sensed a presence in the bushes to his right. The landscape was surprisingly flat. The foliage had been cut and left on the floor. He saw the opportunity to attack and he threw a multitude of shuriken at the bush. To his surprise they fazed through. Blinking once he realised he was in genjutsu. Forming the seal for the release, he yelled out.
"Kai!"
The genjutsu faded and he was in the same landscape as before. Shocked beyon belief he forced himself to calm down. He dived into the river and shook his head.
"Mizu Bunshin no jutsu."
He sent the bunshin outside and he still saw it. The clone shook his head and ran to one side. Before it could make it past the bushes it disappeared into water.
'What the hell?'
He jumped out of the water and ran for the direction his bunshin had taken. He slowed down to the puddle of water and noticed the mutitude of wires shining in the sunlight He grinned. Theywere doing well. But what of as a team? He slipped back into his indifferent face and took out a knife with a seal. He sliced the wires cleanly and stepped out of the genjutsu. He didn't notice the wire on the floor until he stepped on it.
'Oh sh-'
He dodged all shuriken and kunai but all three of the team members jumped out of the ground and pulled a wire as they jumped. The genjutsu broke and he found he was captured. Chained wires were wrapped around him and if he moved he would be cut. He smirked.

"Good work you three. You passed."

The three grinned to each other and they shared a hi-five.

"All right! Go team two!" They yelled in unison. It was apparent that they were friends from the beginning. They shared a hug and they pulled the jounin free. He was unfazed yet he was shocked at the way they caught him.
'Using genjutsu to faze me and a double layer! Also a second layer of wire to set off traps to faze me a second time! Then a chained wire? Where did they get that from?'
He looked at the floor and realised. The edges were points cut off from shuriken.

'They know how to improvise, good. They used the time I took to think and made this impromtu chain wire and set up a genjutsu trap.'
He looked at the three. They were sitting down and talking about what to eat. Apparently like the stingy bastard Kakashi is he didn't let them eat.

"As a reward for passing, I'll take you out for lunch!" He said as he threw his hand into the air.

"All right!" They yelled and followed their jounin instructor to the most expensive restaurant in Konoha.

A/N – You don't get to know their names yet. I'd rather show not tell xD. In any case here's the translations.

Kai – Release
Katon, Gokakyuu no jutsu – Fire style, Grand Fireball Technique
Mizu Bunshin no jutsu – Water Clone technique

Wait for the next chappie xD
