Made In Suna

Chapter: The Dream Team

Okay just let me say thanks so much for those who have reviews and I never expected someone to review the first day!!!! I'm so excited that I'm just bubbling with ideas and I make sure to write them down to keep everything flowing and avoid writers block!!! Anyway just let me explain some things that was pointed out from my reviews (DID I SAY THANK YOU YET?!?! IF NOT THANKS FOR POINTING THE STUFF OUT!!!) Anyway about Iruka, it's at this time when Iruka still harbors feelings that Naruto is the fox. Yes, the boys will be learning some of Sands fighting styles and jutsu but they will also focus on their individual talents and clan techniques believe me I have an idea how that is going to happen.

1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

The Sand Academy was very different from that of its peaceful sister Konoha. It wasn't as blood thirsty as the Mist either but it was tough and very few made it out to have the honor of calling themselves Suna shinobi. Its here at this Academy that three upcoming shinobi were about to prove themselves ready to become shinobi for the Sand village.

Kyouji Hatoru, Sabaku no Gaara, and Uzumaki Naruto the top three of their entire class were all sitting down waiting for their instructor to show up. Unlike in the Leaf Village the Academy students were paired up with their future teammates from the begging. It changed as the kids began to develop their own skills which allowed the kids to get a good grasp of teamwork. They also did all of the D ranked missions as practical training for missions to come if they passed.

Team Oni which consisted of the three demon containers was said to have been the most promising Academy students that ever attended the institution. Each of the young boys had their own unique set of skills that set them apart from the other.

Naruto was the major powerhouse for their team. He was a very offensive type battler and that was a major testament to his extraordinary ninjutsu and kenjutsu skills. He wielded a very powerful sword that only he could use through his bloodline ability. He also wielded a large battle fan similar to that of the Kazekage's daughter. Naruto though, was a true master of the wind element. He now stood at an about 150 centimeters tall. His hair was still golden yellow only it was a bit longer. His eyes were still the color of sapphire gems but his whisker marks had faded until the point where they were almost non-existent. He wore black shorts that stopped a bit below his knees with intricate designs of golden bolts on them. He didn't wear a shirt but a black Chuunin type vest with lots of pockets. He was very built for a twelve year old and had the body of someone who worked out on the regular. His abs were cut and his chest was defined. His tan skin seemed to glow and his face was in its early stages of maturing but held that strong masculine look underneath. He wore black shinobi sandals but the cloth on his hitae-ate had a golden cloth that was the same color as his hair that was tired to his arm. He also wore black shinobi gloves with golden knuckles bracers. He had two earrings in his ears one that represented a dragon and in the right was one that was similar to that of a falcon.

Gaara was their long range and defensive combatant. He was a master with his sand manipulations and jutsu. He also had taken to weapons and his lightning element. He had taken his element beyond what anyone had expected of a Sand ninja. He could reverse electrical currents, create them, alter things with them, and even produce magnetism. He didn't rely completely on his sand anymore. He was actually very skilled in taijutsu and his weapons training really paid off should anyone get close enough to him. Gaara himself was quite a heartthrob in his home village. He allowed his blood red hair to grow out even more. He bore his Love tattoo proudly despite his fathers near heart attack when he first saw it. He wore crimson shinobi style outfit (Think Kazekage outfit). His usual gourd was nowhere on him. He wore his hitae-ate around his neck with a crimson cloth on it. He was actually very well built and had the body of a taijutsu master. His skin was still sort of pale regardless of all the sun time he got. His eyes were what changed the most. No longer did they hold the look of a child that really didn't have anyone to rely on, they no longer held that intense sadness that would make one flinch away but now they were jade pools of mirth that spoke volumes of the changes that the boy had been through.

Hatoru was the team's medic and support troop. He was a master of the medical arts and a very dangerous taijutsu. His perfect chakra control gave him a talent for genjutsu that many in Sand never had seen before. He was also a master of the light element thanks in large part to his own bloodline. His best skill by far was his least seen. His puppetry was a last resort that he rarely had to call upon. He himself was no longer the same young lad that had come to Sand, the jaded young boy who held everything to himself. He was the midget of the group standing at 127 centimeters a gaping 20 centimeters behind Gaara. He had grown his hair out till it went well down his back. It was still a dazzling red with golden highlights. His honey-amber eyes had a twinge of green and had only gotten more exotic taking on an almond shape with full and thick lashes. His flawless skin was still pale and his face had gotten more aristocratic making him seem even more feminine. He wore what seemed to be a short crimson kimono that stopped mid thigh with a black sash tied around his narrow waist. The sleeves flowed past his hands and flared outward. He also wore a pair of tight black pants that gave him maximum movement which fit elegantly with the short kimono. He wore to crimson moon earrings in his left ear and a black angel necklace around his neck.

Currently Team Oni was sitting around on the outskirts of the village waiting for their jounin sensei to show up. All three of them had graduated as the top three of the class and were expected to do well. Gaara was levitating on top of his sand practicing his chakra control and enlarging his chakra stores. Naruto was practicing with his wind element by continually changing the current of the air shifting it to his will. Hatoru was fixing up one of his newer puppets that he had trained with yesterday.

Suddenly Naruto could feel a strong chakra signature coming their way. He stood up quickly as the others took his cue. Gaara came down from his sand while Hatoru sealed his stuff back up. The three boys all turned to see Baki staring at them. Baki use to be the sensei of Temari and Kankuro's team until they had all made Chuunin last year. They knew they were lucky since many people had wanted Baki as their sensei.

Baki eyed the three genin in front of him very carefully. He was well aware of these three. They were very powerful genin and he had the intention of making them even more powerful. Ever since their daimyo had started giving away their missions to Konoha they had been receiving less financial power than before. These three were to be trained to the point of exhaustion so that they could represent their village and show the true power of Sand.

"As you already know I am your sensei Baki. You three are my genin. I already know of your extraordinary abilities but I will be training you to push beyond those limits. Teamwork has been ground into you since the day you entered the Academy so that is not an issue. Your true test begins tomorrow at six a.m. in Area 23 DO. NOT. BE. LATE!!!!!" he said disappearing in a swirl of sand.

Hatoru smirked while looking over to his teammates. Naruto and Gaara returned the smirk a form of silent communication between them.

"Like I said we'd be getting Baki-sensei. From what I've been able to figure from Temari is that Baki changes his test every year. They all consist of the same thing though. A trial of sorts in all areas of shinobi tactics which will require our extreme focus. He doesn't go easy not even on kids fresh out of the Academy." Gaara said while looking at his two teammates. Hatoru nodded in agreement before speaking.

"Well from what we know, Baki-sensei is a true master of the wind element and a very powerful taijutsu user. He has trained himself so well with the wind that he can sense even the smallest shift in wind currents when someone moves to figure where his opponent is. He can even do some wind jutsu without hand seals like Naruto. He is also abnormally intelligent and has the brain of a true strategist." He stated while making sure he didn't forget any of his information.

"Well whatever he had planned for us tomorrow is sure to be hell especially since he has heard of what we can do. He won't be holding back on us. So I say we head home and get ready for tomorrow. Bring everything you would need like you would for a real mission. We've got to take this serious. We'll talk more tomorrow when we see each other." Naruto said while turning to make his way back to his home. They all said goodbye and went on their way home.

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Naruto opened the door to his house only to have to dodge an incoming fist from a mysterious assailant. He blocked the other fist that was aiming for his head and gave the other a kick to the ribs which was blocked. Naruto smirked before shooting some wind out and sending the person to the wall. The assailant was forced to dodge as a horde of kunai embedded itself in the wall where he was. The assailant however did not expect for Naruto to be in front of him and hitting him with a double heel thrust sending him crashing outside through the door. Naruto ran outside quickly while unsheathing his sword and bringing it back to rest on his dizzy attacker's throat.

"Good job Naruto. You're getting better at being alert of your surroundings." A friendly voice came from behind the mask. Yashamaru pulled off his ANBU mask and gave his son a cheerful smile. Naruto could only shake his head at his father's actions.

"Who wouldn't with you trying to jump them when they least expect it all the time. I was bound to learn to keep my guard up at all times. So what level stealth was it this time?" he asked. Since the day Naruto had begun training his father would use stealth techniques to keep him on his toes and alert.

"I went high-jounin this time. You seem to adapt better and better. Soon it will be an automatic reflex for you. I just want……"

"Me to be prepared because in the real world you don't get second chances. I know dad, I know and believe me I appreciate it especially with Baki as my sensei." He said while plopping down on the couch.

"Oh you poor soul. Baki's going to work the three of you to death. I remember when he was my sensei man was he a slave driver. Then again he's worse than when I was a kid. Your team makes the third team that Baki has ever trained. The first all are know the three best ANBU in the service not to toot my own horn. Temari's team is all Chuunin and is ready for the Jounin test in Kumo. Then there are you three. He's never had such raw talent coming out of the academy and I get the feeling he's going to work you three like no other, I feel sorry for ya!!!!" he said laughing his head off while Naruto tried his best to glare at him only having it look more like a pout.

"Don't rub it in my face. Don't worry though you know me and my team are not the type to give up. We're going to give it all we have tomorrow you know that!!!" he said.

"I know you are son, I have the utmost faith in you and your team. I hope you give him hell tomorrow God knows he needs it for all the hell he put me and my team through."

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Hatoru arrived at the training grounds to find his teammates already there before him. He walked over to them and gave their surroundings a clear looking over. The wastelands were characterized as the worst training field in Sand. It is where the Sand clashed with Konoha during the Second Great Shinobi War. There were sinkholes, left over traps, and the small mountain like terrain that was caused from several Earth jutsu and the only active volcano that use to be there. It was by far one of the most dangerous places for anyone to train, and would probably be the reason their sadistic teacher brought them out here.

"What have you found out so far about this place" Hatoru asked his two teammates. Naruto didn't bother to answer which left Gaara to do the talking.

"Well from what we've been able to see. The mountains vary in size and cover a large expanse of the wastelands. There are far too many traps here for us to move about as freely as we would like and even trying to disable some of them sets off others. Sinkholes can very from 2 feet to almost hundreds of meters. The old volcano actually still shows signs of life beneath the surface and that there is evidence that this wasteland was once an oasis."

"An Oasis you say, then there must be some sort of underground water system that was or still is here?"

Gaara merely shook his head. "You are correct there was an underground water system but something happened during the war. The place where the lava is was where the water source uses to be. Something redirected the flow of the magma to come out where the oasis water was coming from. Therefore all of the water evaporated and the magma took its place making the volcano come into existence." Gaara said while turning back to look at the wastelands. Naruto stopped his looking and turned to see Gaara's back.

"As much as I hate sounding like the idiot of our little group can someone please explain to me HOW Gaara knows this?!" he yelled.

"I have a connection through the Earth Naruto, because of my sand abilities I have a small affinity for Earth and I can tell what's going on beneath the ground." He said.

"All right now question number two. Knowing all of this is quite interesting but how the HELL is it supposed to help us with our upcoming test?" he yelled waiting to hear the answer.

Hatoru merely chuckled at his friend; Naruto never was one to look at the whole picture the environment could play in battle.

"Knowing about our environment can help use to predict a lot of things Naruto. Example if you wanted to give your fire jutsu and extra kick combine it with some magma for a really explosive attack. The old traps that we know of we could use them against our enemies. We could use the mountains for cover and even lure enemies into sinkholes. We could even find the source that once fed into the water to give us some water for Suiton jutsu!!! The possibilities are endless!!!" he exclaimed getting all starry eyed. Naruto just shook his head knowing how Hatoru could get over the acquisition of knowledge.

"Okay I see your point now, but we can't expect Baki-sensei not to know some of this place. IT would be stupid for him to test us in an area he himself doesn't know." Naruto pointed out.

"True but you never know what one of the test could be, it could be gathering information on this place, besides he does give more than one test and information gathering should and could be one." Gaara stated while continually sending out pulses of chakra to get an overlay of the wasteland underground. Naruto merely nodded before going off to find more of the traps. Hatoru used his acute senses to go off and find the feeding water source.

In 30 minutes they all arrived back with their own set of observations and put their data together talking about it amongst themselves. They found the tallest mountain which had several genjutsu still in place hiding various sinkholes on it. The largest sinkhole which was filled with rusted swords and bodies impaled upon them. The area with the most traps and the ones with the worst. They were even lucky enough to find an underground cave where the feeding water source had been forced to make. In the cave it made itself another oasis with the water as its center.

As soon as they finished debriefing each other on their findings Baki showed up in a swirl of Sand. By that time they had been out there for two hours since four that morning. He smirked to himself thinking that they were like his other team. He handed them each a sheet of paper with twenty questions on it.

"This is a test, a test of how well you know your surroundings. A shinobi must always know of their surroundings before hand. When you get missions you are expected to have at least some background and general knowledge of where you are going. Failure to do such can result in causality and injury from lack of knowledge." He said smirking even more. "You have ten minutes to answer twenty questions I suggest you get started." He said giving one final smirk before disappearing in a swirl of sand.

The three teammates grinned to each other knowing that they had made the right choice in looking at their surroundings. They hurriedly filled out their papers with five minutes to spare. Baki returned to see his three students busy but not with the test like he thought they would be. Gaara was sitting on top of a floating isle of sand while meditating, Naruto was trying to use his wind to fly or at least levitate, and Hatoru was switching the chakra color of his hand from blue, to green, to gold indicating different forms. Baki grabbed the test lying on the ground and went through each one to find that they had completed the test to the highest degree and even added information that he himself had not known about and he was said to be the wastelands expert.

"How did you all do this and so quickly? Every other team that I passed always and I mean always failed this test trying to survey the land in twenty minutes." Baki asked clearly dumbfounded that fresh out the Academy power or not could do this. Naruto decided to come down form his levitation to answer him.

"Well Baki-sensei we figured we would get here early to actually do some reconnaissance on the place. When I first heard about this Area I asked my dad and he told me some things so I figured it would be best to come here and see but Hatoru and Gaara took it further by implying that we actually search the place and learn about it. So we did that and we discovered a lot, this place could kill us if we didn't." he said looking back at his teammates who simply nodded while carrying on with their activities. Baki grinned thinking he actually got some genin's with some brains and not just power.

"Good job reconnaissance objective tested and passed. Finding those genjutsu and effectively disabling them negates the Genjutsu portion of your exam." He said while Naruto gave Hatoru a large grin and Gaara gave him a small smile. Baki must have shown his confusion on his face because Gaara decided to speak up.

"Hatoru here found the genjutsu and disabled the really tough ones which were all over the place. He is the best in genjutsu here and really shown here."

Baki nodded while processing the information. Hatoru was obviously the genjutsu expert here while the other two could do some it wasn't nowhere near the scale Hatoru could. Now it was time for the second part of his test.

"All right then here is the second portion of your exam. Your mission objective is to find a rescue this hostage. You have the information on the person and the mission requirements. You have an hour and a half to complete this task." Baki said while disappearing again. Gaara gave the file over to Naruto who looked at the seal and broke it with ease. Their rescue target was Kentaru a small kid of one of the Sand elders. He was being held in the Battle Tower one of the most heavily guarded places of Suna. Gaara studied the layout and came to one conclusion.

"This is the worst situation I've ever seen. An all out assault would only have them succeeding in killing our hostage which I have no doubt in such a scenario would happen. However sneaking in by stealth is nearly impossible. Genjutsu work quite well except today on guard they have ANBU unit which specialize in genjutsu and would detect It." he said cursing to himself.

"True and knowing how most ANBU work they are not all in one place but scattered all over the place in case of an attack. I suggest we go with a silent assault tactic. Here's what we're going to do." Naruto said while his teammates gathered closer to him.

1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

"So Baki how do you think they're going to tackle this situation?" the Kazekage asked. Baki turned from the window to face his leader, Chiyo and Yashamaru sat in chairs in front of the Kazekage's desk waiting for his answer.

"I think they have the brains to not use genjutsu from what I've seen they're excellent at gathering information and they're smart enough to know that an all out assault wouldn't work. Judging by most methods they'd try to get in through the underground." He said smirking. Yashamaru paled as did the Kazekage.

"You knew they would do that that's why you insisted that today the Assault team patrol the underground pathways!!!! They'll get seriously hurt trying to fight against them!!!1 there's no way for them to succeed!!!" Yashamaru yelled ready to get up and get his son.

"Don't Yashamaru they'll succeed." Chiyo said while looking up and out the window. "Don't count them out just yet Baki. They'll succeed and they'll show anyone who doubts them to never underestimate them. You wanted to see their assault tactics am I correct?" she said.

"Correct Chiyo-sama, they will have to fight eventually the thing is will they be able to do it with enough finesse to get their hostage or will they end up failing their mission."

"This is so wrong and you know that the tower will be on extra scrutiny because of the sand storm that is said to be coming this way today." The Kazekage said hoping that Gaara would be okay.

"I know this, you should all know by now I never take anything less than serious and give it my all and that is what I'm expecting from them." Baki said as the storm came closer and closer.

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

The storm raged upon the village making vision all but usable. The Battle Tower guards were tense knowing that an attack was coming sooner or later. The Genjutsu ANBU unit continually scanning for any disruption of chakra equaling the use of genjutsu. They never spotted the three genin wannabe's sneaking into a window that was blown open under their masterful disguises and barely registered chakra signatures and miniscule genjutsu.

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Akido Yachiman was your average jounin who had worked hard for his position. He was currently working the lowest level of the 13th story Battle Tower. He was busy reading his favorite book, Icha Icha Paradise when the window blew open from the force of the wind depositing sand in the room. He quickly shut the window knowing that Baki's Academy kids were suppose to be coming.

Being from Sand he never paid attention to the Sand that had came into the room as he went back to sitting and reading his book. He never notice the small ripple as three grains of Sand became three Academy kids and never noticed when a senbon struck him in the neck sending him into darkness.

1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Naruto and Gaara gave Hatoru a nod in appreciation as they laid the man down and placed a seal over him hiding him from sight and detection courtesy of Naruto. Naruto used the knowledge of his tailed beast to recover a drop of blood from the man while creating a shadow clone, another jutsu the fox acquired from the Leaf. Naruto used his tenants' power to make his clone take the drop of blood to become a true clone of the man under Naruto's control.

"Okay phase 1 infiltration is complete. Okay now we all know what to do. Hatoru can you sense where the ANBU are. We need their positions if we are to do this." He whispered while making sure no one was around.

"Tenshi: Minds Awareness" Hatoru whispered as his eyes became pure gold. This jutsu allowed him to detect the true power levels of anyone within his range by using his dojutsu innate power.

"They are scattered about the building one on every floor. They are near the entrances to the next floor. They scan ever 30 seconds for Genjutsu and are ready for the slightest change in chakra of their immediate surroundings. How do we get past them?" he asked while de-activating his dojutsu.

"Well since genjutsu doesn't work and I doubt henge will help get past them. So I'd say our best bet is assault and an it has to be silent and without chakra. So Gaara what can you do for us?" Naruto asked.

"Well using my magnetism which only you two know about I can use their own ninja wire to bind them while Hatoru goes in with senbon but it has to be fast. Naruto you could use the outside wind to give us even more a distraction and I'll help so that we can make the storm even more powerful. A very welcome distraction that we can do but it will have to be quick. And Hatoru the main thing for you to do is before you get to any ANBU on the floors you have to take out the others can you do that?" Gaara asked.

"Don't worry about me. I am a puppet master after all, I'll get it done lets do this." He said as they all nodded their heads. It was time to begin the Silent Assault.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

The storm turned fierce as the wind and Sand got downright vicious batting against the Battle tower relentlessly providing the distraction needed. Hatoru flew out of the room his chakra strings throwing senbon, putting shinobi out effortlessly before he got to ANBU on each floor. Things were going quite smoothly up until the tenth floor.

Hatoru knew something bad was going to happen. Things had been going too smoothly. He had been putting out the surrounding shinobi while the storm went on and once he got close to the ANBU before the ANBU could react he/she was caught in their own ninja wire and welcomed darkness via senbon. He had just gotten past the tenth floor when it happened.

Apparently there was a team in the underground passage that was expecting them. They had never shown up which only meant that they had found a way inside and they had alerted those up top. Those in charge had obviously called those in the floors below. It was only Naruto's forethought that saved them some time. He had made effective blood clones from everyone Hatoru had knocked out.

Hatoru knew they had to hurry before the underground team actually came up top. His Tenshigan had gauged their power levels and he knew it was the ANBU Assault Squad. They had to hurry or else. He prayed Gaara did his part, because soon he would have to get violent quite quickly.

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

The guards of Akido Yachiman were on high alert. They knew the boys were in here but no one on the other floors had said anything about meeting them. They didn't seen the small flow of sand that made its way through the small hole in the wall getting bigger and bigger till it found its target.

1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Naruto knew it was time for him to jump into the fray. Hatoru only had time to take out the ANBU now and that left the rest to Naruto who didn't mind at all. He quickly unsheathed his sword while whispering.

"Sweep the Land and incase within you eternal winter, Shatter Shiva!!!"

Naruto's sword suddenly became a very elegant katana. Its blade was light blue in color and white at the hilt. It had kanji written all over the light blue blade in stunning silver while the tsubasa was that of a beautiful woman which connected to the hilt which bore white diamonds and a white sash at the bottom of it.

He sent out a mental pulse to Hatoru knowing the telepath understood what that meant. A pulse was sent back to him which meant all of the ANBU were taken care of. Naruto raised his sword while still remaining hidden getting ready to take out at least 28 jounin and Chuunin.

Hatoru smirked laying one of his best genjutsu in his arsenal. He made quick hand seals while remaining hidden. He needed to do this before going to the last floor and seeing if their objective had been met. They were pressed for time and they had to make it work.

"Golden Illusion: Divine Mirror Technique!!!!" he whispered as golden chakra stretched out to every ninja that was still moving inside the building while leaving out the two guards with the boy. It didn't seem like it did much because those affected went about like they had not known that their feeling and nerves had been deceived.

Naruto smirked at Hatoru's work while raising his sword and summoning a small bit of chakra. He opened his eyes with them glowing a small bit.

"Hyoton: Frozen Body Technique!!!" he whispered. Small wisps of artic wind raced and found a body of the shinobi while lowering their body temperature till they became unconscious never knowing of their body temperature dropping because of the elaborate genjutsu. Naruto sent out a mental pulse signifying his goals had been met as he henged into a grain of sand and got out. Hatoru smirked while hoping Gaara got his job done while he henged into a grain of sand flowing outside.

1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Akido Yachiman never heard the sand as it took him within into its depths. He felt himself being pulled towards the small hole in which it was coming from only for the hole to widen to fit him and close up once he was gone. Gaara smirked as he lowered to boy to him which went undetected. He use the last bit of Sand left inside the room to turn itself into senbon and with his supreme accuracy lodge it into a nerve ending. Naruto's clones of the ANBU on that floor came and took some blood from them and made clones of them and Akido, while hiding the shinobi then going back to its spot.

The three genin wannabe's smirked to themselves while they escorted the boy back to the Kazekage's tower waiting to see how long it took the underground team to see that there had been an assault on those above them and they had lost the target.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Baki looked at his watch. They only had ten minutes left and there hadn't been any attempt made yet. He had at least expected them to make an attempt. He turned to look at those gathered. The council themselves came to see the product of Team Oni. They had gone from hating them to actually seeing they were just kids. They expected a lot from these three and wanted to see if they weren't wrong for having such high expectations.

"Baki has anything happened yet, have they made their move?" The Kazekage asked. Baki shook his head before turning back to the window so he could get a good view of the tower. The Sandstorm was beginning to subside and that was probably when the boys were going to attack. It would be cutting it close but it was smart.

Chiyo smiled knowing that something wasn't quite right. She knew Gaara and Hatoru had patience but it wasn't their leader's strong point. Something had to have went down and she just needed a little bit of confirmation. They could have gotten the target already.

"Have the underground team check the hostage themselves Baki. I get a feeling there's more to this than we are seeing." She said as Baki got on his radio.

"Sora, take Riku and Roxas with you and please go check on our dear hostage. Lady Chiyo said something is not sitting right." Baki said.

"Yes sir, Key of Light, Key of Destiny, and Key of Darkness will check this out." Sora replied.

In a few minutes Key of Light reported back. "Sir we arrived on the scene to see the hostage still there. We have swept the entire area and all shinobi are present an accounted for. Checked each shinobi for genjutsu upon them to find it was them. Then the weirdest thing happened. Zexion AKA Cloaked Schemer went through every room and went to look for genjutsu and found none like we said. Then he used his skill and found seals in certain places and once the seal was removed we found one of our shinobi. We were forced to fight as the weird clones fought us. It took a bit but we have won and discovered the hostage has been taken!!! Zexion has no idea how it happened but the boy is gone." Sora said before clicking off.

Everyone who was there was in shock except for Chiyo. The boys had obviously taken the boy and succeeded in their mission. Then the doors opened and in walked the boys with Akido in their arms.

"So how did we do Baki sensei?" Naruto asked while smirking. Baki could only gape at them. He really hadn't expected them to succeed. He had to know how they had done it.

"How in the world did you do it?" he asked the question that was apparent on everyone's face and mind. How those genin could do such a feat was mind-boggling.

Naruto smiled brightly as he and his teammates took a seat and began to tale of their ingenious plan.

"And so you see we completed the mission twenty minutes before needing to report and performed the basic after mission set up. Hatoru checked for injury and to see if that was really the target. We made sure to cover our trails and then high tail it out of there." Naruto said while Yashamaru looked at him in pride.

"You three have to be some of the most amazing kids I have ever met. You were able to take down jounin, ANBU, and Chuunin. You are all quite amazing." Baki said while sitting back in his chair.

"Correction, we merely had the upper hand of complete surprise. We had to come up with a very effective plan that would have failed if there hadn't been a sandstorm. We had luck on our side this time and besides they didn't know of most of our abilities and skills. We had the upper hand and yet we had to surprise them because an all out fight would have led to defeat. We merely had the better plan." Hatoru said while placing another cup of tea in front of his grandmother. She graciously nodded while he put more tea in front of the Kazekage, Yashamaru, and his teammates who all nodded in appreciation.

"You three have completed assault, stealth, and weaponry along with coordination in this activity. A talent for useful anatomy, medical skill, and ninjutsu here. I know you're good in taijutsu from some tapes form your Academy days. I am proud to pronounce you all Team Oni!!!" Baki said as Naruto let out a loud whoop as Hatoru chuckled and Gaara gave a small but sincere smile. Team Oni was in business.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

It had been two months since the conception of Team Oni and they had grown quite famous in Suna further exploits. Since Academy Students did D-rank missions, Suna Genin started off doing C-rank missions. They had done quite a few C-rank missions that were nonchalant. They had escorted people, taken scrolls of importance back and forth, protected people from bandits and so forth. Currently they were in the training field sparring. Naruto and Hatoru were sparring while Gaara watched this time.

"Golden Arrow Shower Skill!!!!" Hatoru yelled while flipping backwards waving his hand as golden arrows rained down on the blonde. Naruto quickly dodged everyone before twisting his body out of the way of Hatoru's golden fist. Hatoru's hand almost touched the ground before he pulled it back and brought it up to block a kick to his head. Two boulders came towards Naruto from behind as the blonde flipped backwards cursing as the boulders redirected themselves back at him.

"Sometimes I really, really, really hate Hatoru's bloodline!!!!"

Naruto had no longer to think about it when he was forced to dodge another incoming fist of Hatoru's. Naruto flipped through seals before anyone could see while gaining some distance from his friend.

"Spiral Rain Drill" he yelled while the moisture from the air collected to form a several drills made of water. Hatoru cursed his luck and his friend's uncanny ability. He dodged a few of the drills and let out a groan when he saw his friend open his fan he summoned.

"Blades of Slicing Wind!!!!" He called as blades of energy came rushing at him from the force behind Naruto's wind. Hatoru detested this jutsu as much as Gaara. It was a true blade of energy propelled from tornado speed winds. It was nearly impossible to dodge if caught in the whirlwind trapping you inside but Hatoru wasn't on this team cause of his looks.

"Tenshi: Kami's Barrier!!!" he yelled as golden, silver, and white energy pooled in front of him forming a pyramid barrier that bounced the attacks away from him. Naruto growled hating Hatoru's barriers as he jumped upwards and used his wind to propel him forward at inhuman speeds.

Hatoru dropped the barrier as the wind died down only to see Naruto had disappeared. He hesitated in activating his dojutsu not wanting to rely on it. He felt it a shift in chakra. He looked up to see Naruto closing in too fast for him. He only had one option to get out of there without getting hurt. In a flash Hatoru was gone and Naruto's fan resounded with a loud boom on the ground.

Gaara and Baki were surprised to find their bishonen teammate gone. Naruto looked around to find he alone in the crater he created. Something was up. Hatoru was not suppose to be able to dodge that. He had calculated the wind speed to the maximum velocity that he could come in on his teammate.

"Close one Naruto, too close. I guess all those nights you spent going over physics with me and Gaara really helped you. I really didn't expect to use that move anytime soon." Hatoru called from a impressive distance away.

"No way!!!!! How'd you do that Hatoru? You're fast, the fastest on this team but you've never moved that fast before!!!" Naruto yelled. He had actually sat down and tried to figure a way to beat Hatoru's speed for once and it didn't work!!!!

"That's the last time I tried and figure him out!!! Complicated little bishie bastard."

"I call it shunpo, it's a way for me to move greater distances with tremendous speeds. You have to have perfect chakra control and an affinity for light for it to work.

Naruto smiled, just like Hatoru to forever work on something new. It didn't mean he himself hadn't come up with something new himself. He drew his sword in its true form and raised it up to eye level.

"All right then Hatoru since you want to bring out new tricks let me do the same. I hope you're ready cause this desert ain't about to be a desert wasteland no more!!!"

"Winter Skill: Everlasting Ice Storm!!!!" He yelled while raising his sword and himself into the sky. The clouds became dark as they blocked out the sun. The wind began to howl as the temperature dropped drastically. The wasteland began to freeze over and ice formed out of everywhere giving Naruto a home field advantage. Hatoru watched as the boy descended from the clouds in what seemed to be ice-like armor. Naruto looked like a Paladin coming down with a smile on his face.

"Hail strike like rain upon my enemies, ice become like shards and pierce those that defy me!!!" He said while lifting his sword and swing it. Hatoru did not like that and the weather became obedient as hail began to shower and shards of ice began to zoom towards him. Hatoru cursed as he began to dodge the projectiles. It cost him as he soon found out as an armored fist slammed into his jaw sending him flying.

He didn't have time to contemplate the pain as he rolled to miss being skewered by shards of ice. He had to keep on his feet as Naruto once again waved his sword as a forest of ice spikes came out of the ground. Hatoru grit his teeth and began to shunpo across the field proving to be to fast a target for the spike.

Hatoru came to a stop only to find the field littered in spikes. He couldn't see Naruto as he propped his back on a spike catching his breath. Suddenly he looked up to see Naruto coming out of the spike and tried to bring his armored foot on his leg. He shunpoed quickly only to run right into Naruto's fist and go crashing into the ground.

Naruto knew it was now or never. His jutsu was very taxing as he jumped out of the spike and was about to knock his friend into unconsciousness it would mark his third win in a row against the boy. He was almost there when Hatoru shunpoed out the way and on his side for him to get a powerful kick from a foot incased with golden chakra.

No one on their team was prepared for what happened next. Naruto's armor shattered like glass as he went flying through the spikes of his creation and into one of the small mountains which cracked under the pressure a bit. Naruto slumped into unconsciousness from being caught off guard as Hatoru smirked. He finally knock Naruto's winning streak off.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Naruto awoke quite quickly as soon as they were back in town. He jumped up rubbing his sore side.

"Did anyone catch the number of that jutsu that hit me?" he asked while still rubbing his sore side.

"Sorry, I put a little too much chakra into that hit and ended up breaking a few ribs, its all right I healed it all. It's my newest super strength technique. I heard the Legendary Slug Sannin, Tsunade could utilize super strength so I tried to replicate some way of it using my golden chakra."

"Nice technique but how about you don't use it while we're sparring. It hurts like hell. Gaara stop smirking, it's not funny. Wait till you get hit by it, you won't be smirking!!" he yelled playfully at his teammate.

"As you know we have a mission tomorrow you three I want you to be there on time. It is our first B-ranked missions and I want each of you in the best shape you can be in. Pack a weeks worth of the things you'll need. We're going into Earth country."

1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Okay, I wanted to write more on the mission but I figured it should be a chapter for the mission itself. I skipped all the training footage so you wouldn't know what to really expect from them. Hatoru does have a bloodline called the Tenshigan. You won't know much about it till the Chuunin Exams because he tried not to rely on it that much directly. You will be seeing his infamous Puppetry Skills in the next chapter so don't fret.

I made Naruto an actual intellect in here because I hate how they portray him in canon and besides he's growing up in Suna and I doubt he would have turned out so dumb if he was from there. I haven't made much headway on Gaara's character but I will in the next chapter. Yes some characters from Kingdom Hearts will be shown in here mainly because I love Riku, Kairi, and Sora and Organization XIII. I know Naruto has a BLEACH sword but Hatoru knows shunpo. There's a reason for that too but it comes later on. Forgive me if I misspelled anything I am working without a BETA, anyone interested???? You can expect an update this week and if anyone has any ideas for pairing let me know, but know this I am not putting Sakura as anything here. Also no NARU/HINA don't really care for it and too much of it. Besides that……………
