new chapter its short...


"Yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip" mikuru was barking a kumori through the door. She got shut out "yip, yip, yip, yip, yip"

"Shut up mikuru" kumori called, lazily into her pillow.

"Yip, yip, yip" she didn't stop and kumori groaned.

"Kumori, its time to get up" kumori's mother called from the hall. She looked at her clock… 7:35 a.m.

"Ahhhh I'm late" was all hinata heard from inside her eldest daughter's room. There was a crash and 5 minutes later, kumori ran out.

"Mikuru come here" she called.

"Yip" kumori tied mikuru's forehead protector around her neck.

"Mom where are my scrolls" she ran downstairs.

"In the cabinet"

she ran into the living room and pulled open the armoire that was filled with weapons, scrolls and jackets "thanks" she and mikuru ran out the door.


"Where the hell is she" takahiro screamed as loud as he could.

"Would you shut the hell up" tatsuya kicked takahiro.

"Stop fighting, you two" konohamaru yelled. For once he was on time.

"I'm here" mikuru and kumori finally made it.

"Good we can start now" konohamaru stood up straight and said "today, to figure out if you three are fit to be ninja, you three will fight me"

"Ok" tatsuya said.

"Isn't that a little extreme, we won't be able to beat a jounin" takahiro yelled.

"You don't have to beat me; I want to test your skill and worth"

"Lets get this started than" kumori cracked her knuckles.

He lifted his arm. "Ready… begin" everyone jumped away from there positions.

"We need to work together" tatsuya and takahiro agreed to this.

Konohamaru was waiting by an oak tree.

"Now" kumori yelled. Her and four clones jumped out of the forest. Two clones jumped at him in an attempt to get him airborne, but he easily dispersed them. Takahiro, tsunami, and haiku used getsuga. Konohamaru dodged haiku; he was hit in the side by takahiro. Kumori took this chance and jumped up above konohamaru. "Uzumaki rendan" she kicked him in the chest and sent him crashing to the ground. He disappeared in a cloud of smoke. "What"

"Behind you" konohamaru kicked her into takahiro. Mikuru jumped out of the forest and tackled him. He fell; tatsuya jumped out and used his fire ball jutsu. Konohamaru rolled out of the just in time, his scarf getting singed in the process.

Tatsuya jumped above him and yelled. "Fire style great dragon fire jutsu" a huge amount of fire in the form of a dragon barreled at konohamaru. He jumped and again dodged it, but just slightly. Tatsuya collapsed on the ground exhausted. He ran at blinding speeds to karate chop him, but kumori was able to block it.

"Wow I knew that was too good to be true, that move drains all of your chakra" konohamaru pushed kumori out of the way and tapped him on the shoulder. "You're out"

"Ok than it's our turn" takahiro and his dogs ran at him. "Beast human clone jutsu" haiku and tsunami transformed into feral versions of their master. "Fang heaven wolf" they all used getsuga and attacked konohamaru at the same time. He jumped, but they followed him into the air, attacking one at a time until he was too high in the air for them to continue. "Kumori now"

Kumori created three shadow clones to catch takahiro and his dogs. She used takahiro as a spring and launched herself right above konohamaru. She created another clone and it threw her, spinning at her target "kaiten uzumaki rendan" she hit him in the stomach with her left foot and arm. He flew at the ground with such speed that it left a crack.

He crawled out of the crevice, and pulled out a rope and attacked kumori. He tied her to the training posts that were a little bit away. "Wait let me go" she kicked and yelled, but she couldn't free herself.

He tapped her on the shoulder. "You're out"

"Ha" takahiro jumped and attacked him he dodged it and pinned takahiro to the floor.

"You're out, too"

"Great we all lost" kumori complained.

"Not really" he sat on the ground. "That test was for me to asses your skills"

"Tatsuya, you are strong and you have great potential. You excel at everything that those two lack which is why you're on this team in the first place, but you use moves that don't fit with your chakra level. If you want to use those kinds of moves, than build up your stamina."

"Takahiro you are great at taijutsu you worked well with your dogs and kumori. You need to work with all your teammates tatsuya will need your help in the future as well. Also work on your ninjutsu more I can tell you have trouble holding the beast human clone transformation for both dogs."

"Kumori you have amazing stamina if I hadn't tied you up I would have had to fight you all day. You also work well with others, but work with tatsuya. You seemed to be willing to save tatsuya. Also you should work on using more ninjutsu in your combos."

"Does that mean we pass?" takahiro asked.

"Ya, congrats you pass" konohamaru smiled. "Also tomorrow we have our first mission tomorrow" konohamaru, takahiro, and tatsuya walked away.

"Wait, untie me" kumori yelled. They left her tied up.


"Where's kumori" kyoshi asked hinata when he walked over to her house to pick her up.

"Oh, konohamaru-kun said that she was training on training ground three"

"Thank you hinata-sama" he ran off.

"Help me" kyoshi heard from the middle of the training grounds three.

Kumori was still tied to the post… she kicked and screamed but, couldn't get out. "Kumori what happened"

"Konohamaru-sensei tied me up" she struggled.

"I'll get you out" he cut the ropes with a kunai.

"Thank you" she hugged him.

"Do you still want to go out to eat" he asked.

"Yes, I haven't eaten all day" her stomach rumbled.

"Ok then" they walked away.

"Where are we going?"

"I thought somewhere simple for a first date so how about chouji-san's restaurant."

"Oh ok"

"Hey chouji what's up?"

"Well look who's here, go take a seat" it was amazingly empty that night.

"Pork" devoured her second plate of food, while she waited for the third to cook in front of her.

"What happened to your wrist" she asked kyoshi.

"Our training got a little rough" she pulled up the sleeve of his jacket. His whole lower arm was bruised and swollen. "My arm got crushed by a boulder when kazunari displaced it" she touched it and he flinched.

"Sorry" she let go of his arm. "I never get hurt very bad"

"That's a good thing" he pulled his sleeve own and flinched again.

"Aren't you full yet?" he asked as she scarfed down the third portion. He finished his food 10 minutes ago.

"You know I'm never full" she kissed him on the cheek. "But I'll stop eating"

"I guess so" he pulled out his wallet and paid for the food as soon as the bill came.

"This was kind of short" kyoshi said. They walked out of the restaurant.

"It was lovely, kyoshi"

"So would you be willing to go out again"

"Of course"

"How about in a week on Saturday we could go does something fun"

"Ok" they walked all the way to her house, already. "So Saturday it is" she kissed him. She pulled back first and ran inside. "Bye, kyoshi"

"she is so troublesome…" he walked away.

little did they know that on the building across the street Asae and kurasu were watching.

"we can use the boy to kill her" kurasu pointed out.

"no they aren't close enough, yet" she looked at him and said. "we'll work around the girl for now, in a few years once her purpose is gone then will dispose of her."

"why wait" kurasu asked.

"that boy hurt my daughter so i'll make him hurt" she smiled. "once those two have been the closest they can be, that is when she dies."
