A/N: Why, hello, there. Welcome to fic numero dós on Fanfiction. It might be too early for a second story, but seeing how long it's taking me to update HtHS, I need something to keep me occupied when either writer's block or technical difficulties for that story strike.

Any who, this is a response to dracohalo117's "Naruto Hates Yondaime" challenge. I was supposed to have finished this much earlier, but between school and a broken-down computer, I haven't had much to work with.

This story will feature several OCs. The main pairing is NaruHinaShion (and MAYBE TsuOC). However, it may become a NaruHarem with the inclusion of my female OCs if I can pull it off. Now, let's begin.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. It is owned by Masashi Kishimoto.

Enter Team Kaze

In the village of Konoha, it was rare for a recently-graduated Genin team to take the Chuunin Exams, much less be nominated for them. The exams were not something to be taken lightly, and a slip-up against an opponent might result in a crippling injury, or death, even.

This year, such a nomination had occurred. Not just once, but three times.

Naruto Uzumaki, the Kyuubi Jinchuriki and local village pariah, was among these "lucky" Genin. While he was loud-mouthed and a bit on the rash side, he was not stupid, as many believed. He knew that the only reason his team had been nominated was for the sake of his teammate, Sasuke Uchiha, only survivor of the Uchiha Massacre. Despite the "brotherly" act he put on in public, Naruto just couldn't stand the Uchiha brat. Years of being handed everything on a silver platter had spoiled the child, and it painfully showed. His arrogance knew no bounds, even going as far as trying to take down a Jonin by himself right after becoming a Genin. There were also a few signs of an unstable mentality, as shown by his unhealthy obsession for vengeance and power.

To the side, Ino Yamanaka had glomped her "Sasuke-kun," prompting Naruto's pink-haired teammate to fight over the Uchiha with her. The pinkette was another sore spot for him. Sakura Haruno, the top kunoichi of his graduating class. He was sure that she had become a Genin simply due to her scores on exams, because, other than having decent chakra control, she was virtually useless. This had been proven during their mission to Wave, in which she had barely even done anything. Looking back on his younger year, Sakura had shown some promise as a kunoichi. Simply put, she had been his first friend upon entering the Academy. At the time, she had been serious about her training, but upon meeting Ino and spotting a chance for popularity by joining the Sasuke Fangirl Club (surprisingly, it was an actual club. They even had matching jackets that they wore to club meetings and everything), she had left him in the dust. He had tried to mend their friendship over the years (going as far as putting on a "crush" charade, due to how they constantly joked about getting married when they grew older), but she appeared to want nothing to do with him. While he kept trying to regain her friendship, his efforts were noticeably lessening.

An angelic (albeit timid) voice to his side snapped him out of his reverie. Turning towards the source, he saw Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame, along with a bashful Hinata Hyuga, a timid smile and a small blush on her face upon greeting the object of her affections. A beam threatened to split Naruto's face. These three, along with Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi, were his best friends, and actually showed promise as Shinobi (although Shikamaru's lazy streak made his progress questionable from time to time).

"Hey, Hinata-chan!" Naruto warmly replied, causing the heiress to further blush and bashfully fidget with her index fingers, as was custom. With a small chuckle, he turned his attention to the other two members of Team 8. "Now it's official: the gang's all here!"

"Yes. Unfortunately." Shino replied, directing his comment towards the presence of Sasuke and Sakura. However, they were too "busy" (Sakura was fighting with Ino, and Sasuke was busy brooding) to notice.

Kiba, on the other hand, was snickering at Hinata's bashfulness towards the blonde. Sometimes, he wondered if Naruto had any clue as to how bad Hinata had it for him. He himself had been oblivious until, as a joke and response to the Sasuke Fangirl Fan club, had held a Naruto Fangirl Club meeting to see exactly how many girls would show up. Naturally, Hinata had been the only girl to attend. Upon seeing the normally-timid Hyuga enter the room in a near-replica of Naruto's coat and holding a (self-made) Naruto plushie, he had lost all control and cracked up.

Needless to say, it was about two weeks before the numbness in his arm wore off.

It was at this point that Akamaru, his canine companion, began to sniff the air and growl. This act alone was enough to draw the attention of the group of four to the usually-playful canine.

"Oi, Akamaru! What's up, boy?" the Inuzuka asked, following the canine's gaze.

He did not have to search for long, for three Shinobi near the back of the room stuck out from the rest, even more so than Naruto in his orange jumpsuit did. The Genin team consisted of three females. Seeing as how all-female Genin teams were rare, this alone was enough to pique their interest. Their colored hair was another factor that contributed to this. The apparent youngest, sitting on the far left, had vibrant purple hair, flowing down past her shoulders. The middle-aged teammate, sitting on the right, had bright blonde hair, tied in a ponytail behind her. Lastly, the female in the middle, seemingly the oldest, had sky-blue hair, some of it hanging down towards her neck.

What truly made them stand out, however, was their overall appearance, along with their choice of clothing. The oldest simply wore clothing similar to that of a Greek woman (specifically, think Sophitia's outfit from Soul Calibur IV, but less suggestive). Gold bangles with blue-lined designs were worn on her wrists, along with a gold belt-like sash that kept her clothing closed. A trident was strapped to her back, obviously her weapon. While its design was that of a typical trident, the prongs were a metallic shade of light blue, making them seem almost ice-like. Her headband, which displayed a strange symbol, was worn on her forehead, much like most of the Shinobi in the room. Her light purple eyes were impassively roaming the room.

The middle-aged Genin stuck out a bit more than the blunette; simply due to the small orange jacked she wore. The jacket itself was zipper-less, and stayed on her body via a red sash. There was not much to say about her clothing, other than it consisted of a brown dress and said jacket. The dress has several white upside-down designs, one in the middle of her chest (it was also sewn into her jacket), and several lining the edge of her dress. Her choice of footwear threw off her appearance, for she wore light-brown leather boots. An intricate gold bangle with a ruby in the middle was worn on each wrist. In terms of appearance, she looked like a twin of the blunette, albeit with a younger facial structure. Her vibrant blue eyes were nervously looking around the room, wary of the more shady individuals.

The one that suck out the most, however, was the youngest of the three. She was currently the cause of several nosebleeds and lecherous gazes throughout the room. If a bright orange jumpsuit was bad, then a red, skimpy, nightgown-like dress was worse. The way she was dressed practically BEGGED for someone to do inappropriate things to her.

Right off the bat, a lot of her skin was showing. The dress was low-cut, leaving the top-center corners of her purple lace bra exposed, resulting in violent nosebleeds from several males. She wore what appeared to be a belt right down the middle of her dress, starting at her chest, and ending right above her pelvis region. The dress itself was slit on the right side, leaving most of her right leg exposed. Add the fact that she wore black thigh-high stockings that hugged her thighs just right, and several males instantly went gaga at the sight of her legs alone. She wore strange gauntlets on her hands, as they had numerous small belts crossing all over them. She had a small smirk on her face as her piercing yellow eyes crossed the room, fully-aware of the control she had over the males' attention. Unlike the other two, she wore her headband in a rather suggestive location: she wore it around her thigh like a garter belt.

One thought stood out in the minds of the boys: all three of them had desirable proportions, most notably in the chest area, making the other females of the room wonder how it was even possible for Genin that age to have chests that big.

"Whoa. Who are they?" Naruto asked, having to forcefully avert his gaze from the purple-headed one.

"Beats me," began Kiba, "but Akamaru says there's something strange about them. He says they're 'not normal.'"

"Not normal? What are you talking about?" the blonde further inquired.

"I mean, just look at them! What kind of kunoichi wear clothing like that!? I thought your orange jumpsuit was bad, but DAMN!"

'Though I wouldn't mind spending a night with the purple-haired chick...' the lecherous part of his brain added.

"Hey! Lay off the orange, dog-breath!" Naruto shouted, smacking the Inuzuka on the head.

Back with the female Genin team, the blunette continued to glance around the room with an emotionless stare. However, she slowly shifted her gaze to the side.

"Sister..." she began, speaking in a monotone voice, "could you not have changed into something less frivolous for these Exams?"

"Like YOU'RE one to talk!" the purple head indignantly retorted, pointing an accusing finger at her eldest sister. "At least I'm wearing a bra!"

The blunette's eye twitched. "Do you wish to start an altercation?"

"Bring it! We'll kick your ass all the way back home! Ain't that right, sis?" she asked, grinning as she wrapped an arm around the blonde's shoulders.

"Please don't drag me into this..." she timidly said, a sweat drop forming on the back of her head." I don't want to cause any trouble so early during the Exams..."

"Tch! You're both buzz-kills, you know that!?" she said, crossing her arms and pouting. "Whenever I want to do something fun, you two have to go and... Huh?" The purple head trailed off, seeing her sister's gaze fixated on something. Following her gaze, she saw that her sister was looking straight at the blond kid. "..." An almost predatory smirk crossed her face.

"Aaaaww... Does my big sister was a wittle cwush on someone!?" she teased, causing the blonde to blush.

"N-no! T-t-that's n-not i-it!" she bashfully stuttered, trying to despite this claim.

"I'm thinking she does!" The purple head teasingly smirked. "So, when's the wedding?"

Before the bashful blonde could reply, the blunette spoke up. "That is the target. Naruto Uzumaki."

"What!? That's him!?" the youngest sister replied, disbelief evident on her face. "The kid in the orange!? He sure as hell doesn't seem like the son of-"

"Silence." the blunette interrupted, seeing that a group of Iwa Genin was seated nearby. "You know what would happen were you to finish that sentence."

The purple head nodded backing off for now. "The whisker marks kinda make him look cute, though." she said with a smirk.

"So what's the plan?" the blonde-haired girl asked, after managing to recover from her little episode. The trio continued to watch Naruto and his peers as they talked to a silver-haired Konoha Genin.

"For now, we observe." said the eldest sister, running a hand through her hair. "Observe and keep a low profile." Having said that, she slowly returned to her thoughts.

'Namikaze... You're coming with us.'

Naruto's eyes widened at the information. Having come back from all of his missions unharmed? There was more to this Gaara guy than he let on. He could not help but wonder if Gaara was 'like him.' Unfortunately, seeing how he had no concrete evidence of this, only time would tell if his suspicions were correct or if he was just imagining things.

"Leaf, Sand, Grass, Water, Fall, Sound..." began Kabuto, "Many outstanding Genin from the various hidden villages are here to take the exam. Well... The Hidden Sound Village is a small village just created last year, so there isn't much info, but... The rest of the hidden villages are filled with talented youngsters."

"...What about those three?" Sasuke spoke, finally noticing the kunoichi that had attracted the attention of his teammates.

"I beg your pardon?" Kabuto asked, looking towards the trio.

"Those three. What can you tell me about them?" he persisted, keeping a level gaze as he sized them up. By doing so, he failed to notice the slight scowl on Kabuto's face.

'A new village? I must report this to Orochimaru-sama the first chance I get,' he thought.

"I'll...see what I can do." he hesitantly said, as he whipped out his now-familiar info cards. However, he wasn't an idiot. He already knew that he had no such info on them. So, naturally, it didn't come to him as a surprise the cards came up blank.

"Hm…It seems your cards are nothing but a waste of time," Sasuke said, briefly shifting his attention to the silver haired-nin. "...Regardless, they look weak. They would not stand a chance against the power of the Uchiha."

Kabuto had no time to retort as three Sound Genin rushed at him, clearly angry at the remark he made about their village. Before they could reach them, they found themselves snared and unable to move. Looking around, they saw they were inside...bubbles? Indeed, each of the Sound Genin was inside a large, clear bubble. Rolling their eyes, they simply tried poking their way out, only to find out that the bubbles did not burst.

"You must want to be kicked out of these Exams before they begin.." a monotonous voice said from behind him. Turning as much as they could inside the bubble, they came face to face with the blue-haired kunoichi. "Would it terribly bother you to settle down? Some of us are simply trying to get through with little complications as possible..."

The three Genin could only nod in submission, having taken a pride to their blow at being beaten by a mere BUBBLE.

With a somewhat satisfied nod, the kunoichi dispelled the bubbles, causing them to fall to the floor. She was about to return to her group, only to hear a voice behind her.

"Show me how you did that."

Feeling a hand about to touch her shoulder, she unsheathed her trident and whirled around, locking eyes with a smug Uchiha.

"Come again?"

At this point, however, the Uchiha was awestruck by the design of the weapon, most notably the prongs. "That weapon. It is unsuitable for an inferior kunoichi such as yourself. I demand that you hand it over."

"No," she simply said, her gaze remaining impassive. "My abilities are mine to teach to whomever I decide, and I will not yield a weapon to one who will obviously misuse it."

"You've no idea who you're talking to, do you?" he snorted.

"I am fully aware of who I am exchanging 'pleasantries' with, Sasuke Uchiha," she casually said, keeping her eyes locked with his.

This only caused a smirk to cross his face. "It seems even your village recognizes the power of the Uchiha."

"No, we recognize their ego," she said, causing him to growl. "The Uchiha are all bark and no bite."

"You wench! To be an Uchiha is to be an elite!"

The blunette gave him a blank expression. "The Uchiha did not seem elite as they lay broken after battles with my clan. Perhaps if they choose to develop their skills instead of bragging, they would not have been easily beaten time and time again."

"You wench!" he reiterated, his face becoming angrier by the second, "There is no greater clan in the world than the Uchiha!" At this point, he was just grasping at straws. "Your clan would stand no chance under the power of the Sharingan!"

Her expression did not change. "If the Uchiha are the finest in the world, then they would have defeated the Kaze long ago."

Sasuke's eyes shot wide-open. He did something that no one had ever seen him do. Not even his teammates. "A K-K-Kaze!?"

Some of the Genin were clueless as to this exchange, but the more educated ones were wide-eyed at the revelation.

"It seems even your village acknowledges the power of my clan." she said, a mocking undertone in her voice.

"...Hinata-chan, what's a Kaze?" Naruto obliviously whispered to the Hyuga. Miraculously, she managed to overcome her timidness when it came to Naruto. Being a Hyuga, she was more educated on other clans than he.

"The Kaze are an old clan that was rumored to inhabit the area that was Fire Country before the first Shinobi War." she quietly replied, watching the two arguing figures. "Just like the Uchiha were masters of Katon, the Kaze were masters of Fuuton. While the Uchiha relied on their Sharingan in battle, however, the Kaze worked on their bodies, going as far as being able to infuse their own bodies with the wind element for added speed...In the end, their Fuuton jutsus were able to smother even the fiercest Uchiha Katon, despite the type matchup."

To those who knew about elements, this was truly shocking. Wind matched up horribly against fire, but a wind user that could overcome this was a frightening concept.

"So what if you're a Kaze!?" Sakura spoke for the first time, rushing to her "love's" aid. "It doesn't change the fact that you can't beat someone as strong as Sasuke-kun!"

"Hm. We shall see during these exams, will we not?" she replied, as she began to return to her group.

"...Just who the heck ARE you guys!?" Naruto simply asked. 'When did these Exams get so complicated!? We haven't even started yet!'

"...Hm. Very well," said the blunette, snapping her fingers. Suddenly, her two sisters disappeared from where they were. "My name is Coniecto Kaze," said the blunette.

On her right, the purple head emerged, in a crackle of lightning. "Virus Kaze! Stay out of my way, or I'll kick your ass!"

To her right, in a few embers, the blonde emerged. "Varis Kaze," she timidly said, waving to the group.

"And we're...."

Suddenly, everyone could have sworn the lights and even the sun went out. As their vision returned, they sat the girls doing overdramatic poses (although Coniecto seemed to be being forced, and Varis was simply trying not be left out).

"THE KAZE SISTERS!" Virus yelled, as a red-and-white bar effect went off behind them. [You know the background the Ginyu Force from DBZ gets when they pose? That one.]

"........."

Everyone could have sworn tumbleweeds rolled on by their feet.

"Everyone settle the F**K down!" the proctor shouted as he entered the room. Fortunately for him, he had missed the spectacle that the three had pulled off.

The three sisters simply grumbled and took their seats, as did the rest of the room. As Ibiki, the proctor, went on about the first exam and the rules, the girls began to communicate between themselves. However, it was noticed by the other Genin. That is because Virus was sending electric impulses to her sisters, which registered inside their brains as messages.

'Think we spilled too much?' Virus asked, drumming her fingers against the desk. On the side of her arm that was facing her, a few embers came to life, forming a message.

'I don't think so...' Varis timidly said. Even in writing, she sounded timid. 'All they know is that we're Kaze...'

On both Varis and Virus's arms, droplets appeared, forming Coniecto's message (and putting out the embers on Virus's arm).

'We must make sure that they do not learn more than needed. Remember the mission.'

Seemingly satisfied with her response, the two sisters simply shifted their gazes forward as the tests began to be handed out. During this, Coniecto's gaze never wandered from the back of Naruto's head.

'Namikaze... One way or another, you're coming with us.'

And that's the end of that chapter. In all honesty, I felt I spent too much time on the girls instead of the main cast on this chapter. Oh, well. I'll have to fix that in the following chapters.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR HTHS

I have not abandoned that story. Actually, chapter 3 is done. However, every time I try to upload the file, I keep getting an error message. So, to all the people waiting for me to update that story, thank you for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience.

So, yeah, constructive criticism is appreciated. Whoever can guess which is the girls is 'different' from the other two via PM gets a cookie.

See ya~
