My name is Asura Hyuuga. Along with my cousins, Neji and Hinata, I possess the Byakugan. However, the only people who know of my existence are Juriya, Uncle Hiashi, Kakashi Hatake, and Sarutobi-sensei. At least until I entered the academy. I figure I should explain a little more.
My mother was Hinami Hyuuga, the younger sister of Hiasha and Hizashi. I never knew who my father was, but it must have been a big deal since I was kept on lock down. As soon as I was born, I was taken into Juriya's home, since my mother had died giving birth to me. Being trained by not only a legendary Sannin, but the Hokage as well has it's perks. By the time I entered the academy, I was already considered a prodigy, seeing as I have an abnormal long range with my Byakugan, but also an abnormal grasp on the Gentle Fist technique my clan is known for. This is also where I first met not only my cousin Hinata, but the child of the Fourth Hokage himself, Naruto Uzumaki.
I had no interest in the loud mouthed idiot, watching along with Sasuke Uchiha as he failed time and time again. However, the child never gave up, earning at least a shred of my respect, which isn't an easy feat. Not even any of the Sannin hold my respect. The other thing was he was always trying to out-do Sasuke, as well as gain the attention of Sakura Haruno. She was the most well known of Sasuke's fan girls, along with Ino Yaminaka. That was the most attention I paid to him, until the day he passed and became a Genin. "Team 7," Iruka-sensei called out, "Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and Asura Hyuuga." Little did I know that day would change my life forever.
With living with Juriya, I had heard a lot of things I wasn't supposed to. One of which was what the Uzumaki boy was a jinchuriki. He was the container of the Kyuubi. However, with the maturity he has now, the boy will never grow into his abilities. As we waited in the classroom, the knucklehead ninja set up a prank for our instructor. As Kakashi Hatake walked through the door, I couldn't help but smirk. I knew his reputation as the Copy-Cat Ninja, and wanted to see it in action for myself. Maybe today is my lucky day. " Hmm, how can I put this? My first impression of this group, you're all a bunch of idiots." We all sweat dropped. With that, we made our way to the roof. "All right, why don't you all introduce yourselves, one at a time?"
"Introduce ourselves? Well what are we supposed to say?" Asked Sakura. Isn't she supposed to be the smart one?
"Things you like, things you hate, dreams for the future, hobbies, things like that."
"Well why don't you tell us stuff first, like tell us about you. That way we can see how it's supposed to work." Through in Naruto. Not bad.
"Me? I'm Kakashi Hatake. Things I like and things I hate, I don't feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future, I haven't really thought about it. As for my hobbies, I have lots of hobbies."
"That was totally useless. All he told us was his name." Did you expect him to tell us more? We haven't earned his respect.
"Alright, your turn. You on the right, you first."
"Believe it! I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I like instant ramen in a cup and I really like the ramen Iruka-sensei got me at the Ichiraku Noodle shop. But I hate the three minutes you have to wait after you poor the water in the ramen cup. My hobby is eating different kinds of ramen and comparing them. And my future dream is, to be the greatest Hokage. Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody, somebody important." Hokage huh? Just like his father. I wonder if he knows.
"Alright next."
"I'm Sakura Haruno. What I like...well I mean the person I like is...my hobby is..uh...My dream for the future is...squeal..."
"And? What do you hate?"
"Naruto!" Typical fan girl. It's pathetic really.
"Girls your age are more interested in boys than ninja training. Alright next."
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan, and destroy a certain someone." He still is bitter over the Uchiha massacre. No one can blame him.
"Alright, last one."
"My name is Asura Hyuuga. I don't like anything, and I hate fan girls. They are nothing but annoying. My hobby is training to become better, and my dream is to become a top class Kunoichi. Then maybe my father will step forward and claim me."
"Just as I thought. Good, you're each unique and you have your own ideas. We'll have our first mission tomorrow."
"Uh, what kinda mission are we going to have?"
"It's a task the five of us will do together."
"What, what, what, what?"
"Just tell them already Kakashi." I threw in.
"It's a survival exercise."
"Huh, survival exercise?"
" I thought we were supposed to have a real mission, not more practice. We already did this stuff at the academy. That's how we got here." Way to state the obvious.
" This is not like your previous training."
"So uh..so uh, what kinda training is it then?" Idiot.
Kakashi chuckled. "Hey, hold on. That's a normal question. What's so funny?"
"If he tells you the answer, you won't like it." I threw out.
"Out of the 28 graduates who came here, only 10 will be accepted as Genin. The other 18 will be weeded out and sent back to the academy."
"In other words, it's a make it or break it, pass/fail test. And the chance we'll fail is at least 66%." Figures he'd do what Minato did.
" She did tell you you wouldn't like it."
"That's crazy! We worked hard to get here! Believe it! What was that graduation test for anyway?"
"Oh that? That was just to select the candidates that might become Genin. Or not."
"What?"
"That's how it is. I decide whether you pass or fail. Be at the designated training spot at 5 A.M. And bring your ninja gear. That's it. You're dismissed. Oh, tomorrow you better skip breakfast, or else you'll puke." With that he poofed off.
"Hey Asura, how did you know?" Sakura asked. I noticed Sasuke shift his attention towards me as well.
"I know Kakashi. He helped raise me after my mother died, since my father wouldn't claim me." With that I poofed away. I wonder if Sasuke knows who killed his clan. Or if Naruto knows who his parents really were...
The next day, Kakashi arrived at 11. "Morning everyone. Waiting for me?"
"You're late!" They should get used to it.
"Well a black cat crossed my path, so I had to take the long way. Well, let's get started. It's set for noon. Your assignment is very simple. You just have to take these bells from me. If you can't get them by noon, you go without lunch. You'll be tied to those posts, and you'll watch as I eat my lunch in front of you." Isn't that a little extreme?
"Wait a minute, there's four of us. How come there's only 3 bells?" Ding, ding, ding. The genius figures it out.
"That way, at least one of you will wind up tied to a post, and ultimately be disqualified for failing to complete the mission. That one goes back to the academy. Then again, all four of you can flunk out, too. You can use any weapons, including shurikens. If you aren't prepared to kill me, you won't be able to take the bells."
"Those weapons are too dangerous sensei!"
"Haha especially since you couldn't dodge that eraser." Naruto you idiot. He isn't a Jounin for nothing.
"Class clowns are usually the weakest links. You can safely ignore them. Lowest scores. Losers. When I say start, you can begin."
Of course, being the idiot Naruto was, he charged forward and was caught by Kakashi. "Don't be in such a hurry. I didn't say start yet."
