Senjou: Okay, this is going to be my first actual chaptered story... It's about sixteen years after Naruto and his friends (and rivals) became Genin. Now there's a new generation of kids, and a whole new bunch of problems. This story's main character is Neji and Tenten's daughter. (Yes, Neji and Tenten because they're my favorite pairing and favorite characters from the boy and the girl side!) Please read and rate... Enjoy!
You know how sometimes you wake up in the morning, hoping that you're still dreaming and the day is actually going to start a few hours later? That's how Kajou felt when she woke up on the Monday morning that just happened to hold the exams to become an official Genin of Konoha. What's the point of this? Everyone knows I'm going to pass it anyway, they might as well give my my forehead protectornow, and fate knows it, fate is just playing with my mind, trying to make me go crazy...
Her thoughts were interrupted by a shout from her ani-san down the hall. "Hey, Spiral! Time for breakfast, up and at 'em!" Spiral... Kajou hated that nickname, but that's what her name literally said in Japanese so she couldn't help it. It could also mean several other things, but everyone liked to call her Spiral anyway.
Kajou got out of bed and walked to her closet, first looking at herself in the mirror that was on the door. Hn... Stupid branch house seal, if it were me running the family there wouldn't be a main or branch house. She opened the closet door and took out her normal training/ninja clothes. They consisted of boy-ish blue knee length pants, and a shirt like her father had when he was her age, except for without the collar, and of course she had the normal ninja shoes. She also wore a blue headband to cover the horrid branch house cursed seal. Her hair was put up in a high ponytail just so it would stay out of her eyes.
She walked into the kitchen where her ani-san and the rest of her family were already sitting. "Heh, I guess little Spiral had a little trouble getting up this morning. Did you trip over your rug again?" Sometimes her ani-san really annoyed her.
"Shut up, noroi." Kajou said sitting down at her spot at the table. She slowly scooped a spoonful of her oatmeal into her mouth.
"Now, now... Don't fight. Kajou, don't tell Yakkai to 'Shut up' and also don't call him stupid. Yakkai, don't provoke your sister so she does those things, you also don't want to get her really mad, you remember what happened last time, don't you?" Tenten said, getting her kids to calm down. Neji just sat there, watching the fight, hoping that for once his wife wouldn't stop them. He wanted to see who was stronger out of his two kids. Oh, well. Fate just won't let me have any enjoyment...
Yakkai was almost like a boy version of Tenten, except for more annoying, and Kajou was almost the exact opposite, she was like a girl version of Neji. And since they were like that, there was a whole lot of controversy between them, but they were still good sparring partners for each other and they got to vent out their anger that way.
Even though Yakkai was four years older than Kajou and was also already a Chuunin, when she was actually trying Kajou could beat him, though not easily. Last time they had fought and Yakkai had provoked Kajou by teasing her, Yakkai had ended up with a broken leg and a concussion. As Neji and Tenten's old sensei would say, it was 'The Power of Youth!'.
The rest of their morning meal was eaten in silence... Yeah, Kajou and Neji wished... Yakkai kept talking... and talking... and talking. And Tenten kept answering... and answering... and answering some more.
"How much longer do you think its going to be until my next mission?" Yakkai thought out loud, tugging at some of his Gaara-ish hair (his hair looks like Gaara's, except for its brownish black.)
"I don't know, honey. I just hope it isn't too dangerous. You never know what could happen on those B-ranked missions." Tenten said, a slightly worried look on her face.
"I wonder how my old teammates are doing... I haven't seen them for so long since I've been on missions so much." Yakkai asked aloud again, drumming his fingers on the table.
"I'm sure they're doing just fine. I heard they became Chuunin recently too. You became one a year ago right? They just became Chuunin now." Tenten said, she started tapping her spoon on the side of her plate.
"Really, I bet they aren't as stro–"
Yakkai was cut off by Neji. "Be quiet. Kajou needs to mentally prepare for her upcoming test."
That shut Yakkai and Tenten up, when Neji said to be quiet, they were quiet, just because he was so... so... scary, when he got mad, that is.
Kajou stood up, she was done with her breakfast anyway, even before the three people who had sat down and started eating before her. "I'm going to school." Her family, well at least the ones who talked, said goodbye. Kajou walked out of her house on the northern side of the Hyuuga estates. She had to walk all the way around just to get to the gate out. About halfway around her cousin, the next heir to the Hyuuga family, walked up behind her.
"Oi, Kajou-chan. What's up?" The Hyuuga heir said jumping up beside Kajou. His messy dark blue-purple hair was even more knotted up than usual.
"One: Don't call me Kajou-CHAN... I'm four months older than you, Hanone-sama... Two: Leave me alone." Kajou said, speeding up her walking speed just to get away from him. When she noticed that he was still keeping up with her she jumped to the left, towards the outer wall, and jumped up on top. She then jumped into the trees and continued jumping through the trees until she reached the main road, just down the street from the school. Hanone was nowhere in sight, even from her Byakugan, obviously left in the dust.
Kajou smirked and walked into the ninja academy, walking to her classroom where the testing would take place. She was one of the first people there, the only person who was there before her was Nara Hanatsu, but she had probably just gotten there early so she could just sleep. She sat down in her usual seat, the one in the back row on the right of the main isle.
Slowly the other students filled into the classroom. Uzumaki Urasai was the loudest, as usual, and his spiky pink hair also catching a lot of attention. Today he was shouting of how he was going to be the top graduate of the year, even ahead of the three Uchiha triplets. Once everybody was there, their sensei, Rock Lee, came in and had them line up for the test.
"OKAY EVERYBODY! WE WILL BE GOING IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER FOR THE EXAM! I WILL HAVE YOU PREFORM YOUR STRONGEST ATTACK ON THE PUNCHING BAG DUMMY AND GRADE YOU ON HOW WELL YOU PREFORM IT. AFTER THAT WE WILL HAVE A QUICK WRITTEN EXAM. TOMORROW THE RESULTS WILL BE POSTED IN HERE!" Rock Lee said, screaming the whole time.
Can't he shut up, or be a little quieter? Kajou thought, a slight grimace crossing her face. "Hn..." Rock Lee started calling names.
"ABURAME KONCHUU!"
A tall girl wearing a trech coat (like her fathers and the rest of her family) walked up. Her hair looked really frizzy even though that's how it always looked. The girl didn't appear to do anything. But after about half a minute about five hundred bugs jumped from somewhere behind the punching bag dummy and tore it to shreds. Rock Lee started clapping his hands enthusiastically.
"GOOD JOB, KONCHUU-CHAN! OKAY, NEXT IS AKIMICHI CHOUTO!" A rather chubby kid stepped up and preformed the Baika no Jutsu on the new, non-torn up punching bag dummy. It was just hit across the room without much real damage. Chouto sighed and walked back into line beside Konchuu.
"HYUUGA KAJOU!"
Hmmm... Quite a huge jump in last name letters, heh... Kajou walked up in front of Rock Lee and prepared to do the 64 Points of Divinity attack on the punching bag. She started attacking the punching bag, calling out the hits as she went. "Two hits!", "Four hits!", "Eight hits!", all the way up to "64 hits!". Her classmates were staring in awe, except for Hanone, who already knew that Kajou had known that attack.
Rock Lee looked at the damage on the punching bag, then back at Kajou, he was clearly impressed. I guess that's what to expect from my rival's daughter. Already having mastered the 64 Points attack... I wonder if she knows the Kaiten yet...
"INUZUKA HANONE!"
Hanone walked up. Just because his mother had married an Inuzuka and all didn't mean he wasn't still heir to the Hyuuga house... And he was quite glad because of it because he got to boast that he was an Inuzuka and a Hyuuga, most of the boys envied him for that.
Hanone was going to use his dad's favorite move, no one had noticed before, but his little brown dog was sitting in the hood of his Kiba-ish jacket. The dog jumped out and let out a high pitched bark. "Okay, Koinu! Lets do the Gatsuuga..." Hanone and Koinu started spinning rabidly then jumped up, heading straight towards the new punching bag dummy. After the dust (and feathers from the punching bag) cleared from their impact, they saw that the punching bag was completely destroyed and Hanone was smiling. Rock Lee was, once again, impressed.
Hmmm... At least two prodigies this year. I wonder how the teams will turn out. "NARA HANATSU!" I heard that Hanatsu is also smart, its rumored that she's smarter than her father was at this age.
Hanatsu yawned as she woke up, still sitting in her desk. "Wha? Oh, it's my turn... I'll need an actual person to show you this move... It's a defense move..." She stood up and walked to the front of the class room. Some random kid, who it doesn't matter who they are, walked up. "Okay. I created this move myself... Try and attack me with some sort of Taijutsu, and I'll be able to block it."
The random kid jumped into the air and was going to kick down right on Hanatsu's head, if she hadn't done her move. "Kage Benso!" The random kid stopped in mid air, his leg caught in what appeared to be a wall of solid shadow that was now all around Hanatsu. Hanatsu stopped the defense and the random kid fell to the floor. "That was too troublesome..."
"UCHIHA RAISHUU!"
What appeared to be a black haired Ino stepped up. She was the first born of the Uchiha triplets of that generation. "Katon: Ryuuka no Jutsu!" The punching bag was just a pile of ashes.
"UCHIHA ENKOU!"
A blonde haired Sasuke walked up. The second born of the Uchiha triplets, and the tallest. "Katon: Housenka!" Once again, a pile of ashes was on the floor.
"UCHIHA KOMAYAKA!"
A boy who looked just like a mini-version of Itachi walked up. He had the lines under his eyes and everything. The boy sent an invisible shiver down Rock Lee's spine. He remembered when the news was sent out that the entire Uchiha clan was killed off by Itachi, and it still frightened him a little that this boy was a mini-me of the evil Uchiha. "Okay, I hope this skill is good enough to live up to my siblings... Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" More ashes...
"LAST BUT NOT LEAST, UZUMAKI URASAI!"
Urasai walked up, looking like he had a head inflated almost five times its usual size by his pride. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" There were copies of Urasai filling up almost every empty space in the room. All of them simultaneously yelled, "Shannaro!" beforethe original made all of the others disappear.
Rock Lee was amazed, beyond amazed. I guess all of the parents taught their children their signature moves. The best ones they had too. This years graduate class will be interesting. "YOSH! THERE ARE FOREHEAD PROTECTORS ON THE BACK DESKS FOR ALL OF YOU TO TAKE! NOW EVERYONE COME BACK HERE TOMORROW TO SEE THE RANKS OF THE GRADUATES, WHO YOUR JOUNIN SENSEI IS, AND WHO'S ON YOUR TEAM! DISMISSED!" All of the kids walked out/ran out/stayed in the classroom and slept.
AT THE UCHIHA HOUSE
"We all passed for sure, mother!" Komayaka yelled at dinner later than night to an overjoyed Ino.
"I'm so proud of all of you! And your forehead protectors look so nice..." Ino said, clutching her hands together. Komayaka and Raishuu were wearing their forehead protectors on their foreheads while Enkou was wearing hers around her wrist, like a bracelet.
"You all did very good." Sasuke said after swallowing his current bite of food.
"Thank you." Enkou said simultaneously with Raishuu, while Komayaka and their mother were still squealing to each other in excitement.
AT THE UZUMAKI HOUSE
"YOU DID AWESOME, URASAI!" Naruto, a.k.a the sixth hokage, shouted across the dinner table.
"I'm very proud of you, Urasai." Sakura said, moving his hear around with her fingers, sort of like she was scratching his head.
"Thank you!" Urasai said through a mouthful of chicken flavored ramen.
AT THE NARA HOUSE
"At this rate you might even be able to beat your father in chess, Hanatsu." Temari said, still cooking dinner. "Though, I wish you would've used your two fans... But you still did good."
"It's too troublesome to take those fans to class every day. But once I start practicing I might take them with me." Hanatsu said, right behind her there were two fans about 3/4 the size of Temari's.
"She'll never beat me in chess, Temari... I just hope she becomes a challenge for me at least, some day." Shikamaru said, turning to the next page of the newspaper.
AT THE HYUUGA MAIN HOUSE
"High five!" Kiba said, holding his hand out for Hanone to give a high five. "You did really well, and I heard from your teacher that your Gatsuuga was perfect!"
Hinata just smiled as she ate dinner, letting them be enthusiastic for her.
"It was so cool, dad! I started spinning, and so did Koinu. Then we jumped up and when we hid the punching bad dummy we shredded it to pieces! It was so awesome!"
AT THE HYUUGA BRANCH HOUSE
"I can't believe you actually passed, Spiral." Yakkai said, teasing Kajou by tapping her on the forehead from across the table.
"Shut up, baka." Kajou said, hitting his hand away.
"You should be congratulating her, Yakkai." Tenten said, and Neji gave a slight nod to show he agreed.
They continued their dinner, talking about plans for what they would be doing once Kajou started missions and all of that. During the middle of the conversation Kajou slipped away and got to her room. Changing into her pajama's she just kept wondering, Who's going to be on my team?
Senjou: So, what does everyone think so far? Oh, and by the way, when I said what happened at each house, I left out the Akimichi and Aburame house because I couldn't really think of anything... Anyway...Here's the list of the Japanese words that I used, some of them are really simple, but I just put them anyway for people who don't know any Japanese. They're in the order that they appear in the story.
ani-san : older brother
noroi : stupid
sensei : teacher
Baika no Jutsu : Body Enlargement Technique (Akimichi advanced bloodline)
Gatsuuga : Piercing Fang
Kage Benso : Shadow Defense (I made this up myself, no taking!)
Katon: Ryuuka no Jutsu : Fire Type: Dragon Fire Skill
Katon: Housenka : Fire Type: Mythical Fire Flower
Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu : Fire Type: Grand Fireball Skill
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu : Shadow Replication Technique
Shannaro: All right, damn it!
Yosh: All right!
baka : idiot
Okay, now that that's over with... If any of you want to know what the kids names mean in Japanese just say that in your review and I'll put it at the start of the next chapter. I'll just tell you now that their names go with their personalities, techniques, or their family. Until next time, Sayonara!
