1. Enter: The Twelve Ninjas -
The Hidden Village of Cupcakes lies north of the Leaf Village. In this village is the Ninja Academy where academy students are taking their graduating test. For future reference, the academy students at in this village are much stronger than the academy students from the Hidden Village of Leaves. "Okay, first on the list is Shizu", said Iruka. Shizu walked from her seat and went to the front of the classroom. "Please perform the transformation justu to look like me, then perform the replication justu", the instructor said.
"Okay", Shizu said quietly. "Henge!" With this word, Shizu transformed into Iruka-sensei. And then immediately, she shouted, "Replication no Jutsu", cloning her transformed-self 5 times.
"Great", said Iruka. "Now Tetsuma, it's your turn." Iruka went through all of the students. "Now let's go outside". They walked to the fields next to the academy and Iruka summoned a dummy with a target in the middle. "Kakashi, you get to go first. For those of you that don't know, this is the Regenerating Dummy. Perform your best technique againstit and I will evaluate if you should graduate", said Iruka "I want you to go in this order: Kakashi, Tetsuma, Hayoto, Jin, Chouko, Shizu, Genta, Reiko, Musashi, Marumi, Maasaki, Daichi. Okay, Kakashi, you may start".
Kakashi walked up to the dummy and prepared his technique. "Ice Release: Ice Slash!" said Kakashi. The Ice Slash technique is where Kakashi channels his chakra into his hand transforming it into ice and uses it to slice things. After getting cut in half, the Jutsu Dummy reformed itself.
Tetsuma then walked up to the dummy and took out his sketchbook and drew a wolf. He put his hand over the picture and out of nowhere; a wolf appeared and attacked the dummy with its claws. What Tetsuma just did was use his Bloodline Limit: Chakra Art. He developed this Bloodline Limit because he is from the Ayuta Clan. Chakra Art is where a person can draw something and make it go from fantasy to reality, but depending on the complexity of the created object, more chakra control and power may be needed.
Next was Hayoto, who always had his pet ferret on his head. "Earth Release: Rock Strike", said Hayoto. The Rock Strike technique is where Hayoto uses his chakra to create a rock that he flings at his opponent. The rock hit the dummy creating a crater in its stomach.
It was then Jin's turn. "Exploding Replication!" he shouted. Replication Release is a technique used often by Jin, a replication specialist, where he summons throws a replication at his target and the replication explodes on contact with an object. His replication struck the dummy blowing it high into the sky.
Chouko didn't even walk towards the dummy and just stood up and pulled out her sketchbook. She also has the Chakra Art Bloodline Limit that Tetsuma has because they're siblings. She drew a bow and arrow and it came out from her notebook. She loaded the bow and shot the dummy exactly in its target causing it to blow up. She enhanced the arrow with her chakra increasing its power and deadliness greatly impressing Iruka and her fellow ninjas. After she did this, she sat back down quietly.
Shizu still in shock of Chouko's power, walked towards the dummy. She put her palm out and said, "Water Release: Aqua Burst!". Shizu created an orb of water in her hand and threw it the dummy blowing it a couple of feet away.
It was the Genta's turn. He stood there for a couple of seconds and then his hand starting glowing and he shouted, "Roaring Fist." He punched the dummy blowing it 3 times as far as Shizu did.
Reiko slowly walked up to the dummy and said "Wind Release: Wind Cutter!" creating a blast of sharp wind with the palms of her hands pushed forward. The wind ripped the dummy into shreds, but it still restored it self.
Musashi was talking to Maasaki at the time his turn started. "Musashi!" yelled Iruka. This alerted Musashi that it was his turn. He walked up to the dummy, rolled up his sleeves and snapped his fingers creating a flame on his right hand. "Fire Release: Giant Fireball". During this technique, Musashi would create a bigger flame than the one already on his hand and would fire it at his target, or in this case the dummy. The dummy was hit by the fireball and quickly burned the dummy to ash.
"Marumi, I know your specialty is genjutsu, so you may perform one on me", said Iruka.
"Illusion Mist!" shouted Marumi. This caused a mist to appear out of her hands enveloping Iruka. He then started to see the Village of Hidden Cupcakes being destroyed and that he could do nothing to stop it, but after about 30 seconds, the illusion stopped.
Maasaki then walked up to the dummy and said, "White Laser"! This technique is where Maasaki creates exactly as the technique's name, a white laser. Maasaki moved his hands in a zigzag motion cutting the dummy into 4 pieces.
Last up was Daichi. "Lighting Release: Thunder Spark!" yelled Daichi. This would create lighting that would fire lightning in a straight line. This technique also burned the dummy.
After 10 minutes of silence Iruka said, "You all have done extremely well and have all passed the graduating exam. Now I will announce the teams. Team 1 is Kakashi, Shizu, and Tetsuma. Team 2 is Musashi, Masaaki, and Reiko. Team 3 is Hayoto, Daichi, and Chouko. Team 4 is Genta, Marumi, and Jin. The ninjas then stood up and moved to sit together.
Kakashi then looked around the rooms at each of the teams. On Team 2, there was Musashi. Musashi was always a quiet person. In fact, all the people on Team 2 were quiet people. He always wore red gloves and had a sleepy look on his face. His best friend was Masaaki who wore a gray jacket, dark glasses and also barely talked. He mostly listened to what Musashi would say. The last person on their team was Reiko who was a third wheel, since Musashi and Masaaki were best friends. She has long dark hair and often wore black clothes. And like the rest of Team 2, she was extremely quiet.
To the right of Team 2 was Team 3. The first was Hayoto who had a pet ferret that always sat at the top of his head. He was often cheerful and very protective of his ferret, Kasshoku. Sitting next to him was Daichi who was talking loudly to Hayoto. Like Hayoto, Daichi was cheerful, but he was also loud and talkative. Also on their team was Chouko, who had short black hair and was quiet and shy unlike her other team members, but as shown before, she was quite skilled.
Sitting in front of Team 3 was Team 4. Genta was very short for a 13 year-old and was very happy and energetic. Marumi wore a green jacket and had short hair like Chouko, but was happy and energetic. The last member of Team 4 was Jin who had blondish-brownish hair, a unique color that no one else in the village had, but he was still one of the more normal people in the academy class.
After staring around the room for a while, he finally looked at his own team. To his left was Tetsuma. He had glasses and short hair. He didn't talk that much in the class, but he was an incredibly fast runner. On Kakashi's right, there was Shizu, a normal girl who had medium-length hair that never really did anything in the classes they have together, but she still looked happy most of the time. As he finished looking at the newly formed teams, he heard Iruka-sensei begin to talk again.
"You will now go on your first mission," Iruka said. They were many shouts of happiness from the students. "Most team go on missions with only their team, but this time, all 4 teams will go. Your job is to go to the Hidden Village of Fruits and get the get an apple".
"An apple?!?!" yelled Daichi. "Why do we have to get an apple? What's the point?"
"There is a point to this", said Iruka. "To get to the Hidden Village of Fruits you have to get through the forest of man-eating rabbits and then after that, you have to solve the puzzle on the gate of the village. This test is not for the purpose of getting an apple, but it is to see how good you are at working with your team and the other teams. It will also test how good your survival skills, physical endurance, and intelligence are. But before we do that, we will hand out your ninja headbands. The Kappukekikage, or the Kappukage for short, of the Village of Hidden Cupcakes came in with 12 ninja headbands. He then passed one out to each person. The headbands each have the symbol of the Cupcake Village on it, which was a cupcake. The brand new Genin stared at their new headbands for a couple of seconds before Iruka said, "Okay, everyone go home and get ready very quickly. Everyone meet at the academy entrance when it's time. Bring supplies if you want to. The mission starts in 30 minutes." Everyone immediately rushed out of the room to their homes.
