A/N: I have edited this; I have fixed my spelling, and as many as I saw, grammar errors. 4/4/2011 (third thing today! I'm on a roll!)

Iruka announces Team 10, with the genin as Ookami-Neko, me, Nariko (thunder) Oki (ocean centered) and Toriyama (bird-mountain) Nami (wave) with the jounin being Kanawashi (powerful-eagle) Taka (tall, honorable). I stop paying attention to Iruka announcing teams. It's not till Iruka tells us to meet with our jounins and other teammates tomorrow at separate locations. Team 10 is to meet in this class room at seven tomorrow morning. I don't know Nariko Oki or Toriyama Nami and certainly not, Kanawashi Taka. As the class disperses, I call out quite loudly, "Nariko Oki, Toriyama Nami! Stay in this classroom for a moment! I want to know who the hell you are!". I stay in the classroom till it is just two boys and Iruka besides me. I walk up to both of them and point at one then the other, "Who is who?" The two of them are about the same height as me. One has dark purple hair in a braid to their waist with startling sky blue eyes. The other has sandy hair in a pony tail shaped like a pineapple and ocean eyes. The first one says his name is Toriyama Nami and the second is Nariko Oki. Nariko said the two of them are cousins, branches of the same family. I grab their arms and pull them towards my training ground. We stop once we get to the clearing. Instead of wooden dolls, there is inch think metal dolls. Targets in every direction possible. A track for short distance speed. A path that leads around the village. A path to a ravine for any mass destruction attacks. A path to a river for elemental attacks. A large clearing for plenty of space. I smirk, "I want to see how good you are, so you can try my list of stuff I do to strengthen my mind and body. Depending on how far you get in it, is how I evaluate you. First though, push a little of chakra into these pieces of paper.". They both do it and I examine them to determine their fortes. Nariko is lightning with secondary in earth and water. Toriyama is Water with secondary with wind and earth. I tell them what they have a infinity for. They ask, "If we have infinities in water,wind, lightning, and earth. What do you have?". I pull out another piece of paper and push my chakra into it. Mine is in Fire, wind, lightning with secondary in earth and water.

I pull them to the path around Konoha, "We are going to race around the village and meet back here. Ready, set, GO!" I took off leaving them behind for a moment. They quickly came back into sight. They're smart. I have to give them that. Follow me till we are back into sight of the training grounds. I'll keep at a steady pace, if I go to much faster, they won't be able to make it back. Since I'm the one to start the race, I won't use chakra. I didn't say they couldn't though. I'll break them of that soon. For those situations where you're low or out of chakra. Or like I did, when mine was being funky. "Come on! We're only a sixth of the way around.". I kept going at the speed I was going, through they slowed down a fraction. For every sixth we gained, they got a fraction slower. One more sixth! They can do it! "One more sixth!". I looked back at them, they seemed to be pushing it. I could see the training grounds from here. "I can see the training grounds!" they looked up at that with hope in their eyes. They moved as fast as they did in the beginning with the end in sight. We reached the training grounds and they were breathing heavily, I wasn't even breathing that hard, a little quicker than normal but that's it. "You guys, can just stay here while I finish my list." I did my hundred push ups on each hand, two hundred pull ups, one hundred sit ups and a hundred laps. I checked on them, they were better but still a little out of breath and flushed. I went to my giant stump and did five hundred kicks, punches and combinations before I stopped. They had been watching the whole time and looked with awe at me. I looked at the sun, it was maybe five minutes before I was supposed to meet Naruto for ramen. Five minutes? Shit! I went over to them and asked if they wanted ramen. They agreed and I raced over to Ichiraku's. With a minute to spare, I came in to see Naruto eating ramen. Toriyama and Nariko waited outside while I told Naruto that I had brought a couple others with me.

I sat down next to Naruto and Nariko sat on my other side while Toriyama sat to the left of Nariko. Naruto was on his sixth bowl when I cut him off. "Naruto, if you eat one more bowl of ramen I will still kick your ass to Suna." Nariko and Toriyama looked at me and Naruto sweat-dropped. He finished his bowl of ramen and leaned against the wall. I finished my sixth bowl and stopped knowing I had more food at home with the Inuzukas. Nariko and Toriyama were on their forth bowl and stopped. When we had all eaten our full, I wished Naruto luck and told my future teammates that I would meet them in the morning.

It's three minutes to eight and our sensei is STILL not here! I was bored, so I take out a scroll. I say release and a sketch pad comes out and I draw. I was friends with Naruto. Wait, did I just say FRIENDS? . . . Fine, I admit it! We are friends. I look at the picture formatting on the page, Naruto smiling with the Hokage in the background. Two of my favorite people. When I finish and don't sense him anywhere close I start on the picture of the Inuzukas. Again, I don't sense him, so I pull out the color pencils out of the scroll. I finish my first picture. I sense another coming as I'm have way done with the second picture. I don't look up but I throw a kunai at him when he comes through the door. I look up at the man and see him holding the kunai with a raised eyebrow and a hurt look on his face. I speak in a bored tone, it had been about a hour and a half since he was supposed to be here. "If you are Kanawashi Taka, you are EXTREMELY LATE. I was going to give you another few minutes before I left to go practice." I finish up my picture and turn it to the next page before closing it. I put it and the color pencils on the scroll and send them back into the scroll with a seal. I turn to face who I assume to be my sensei from now on and study him. He has black hair and eyes that are chocolate brown with amber highlights. He had his head band on a face mask that looked like fangs on either side of his face holding his hair out of the way. (Like Yamato's face mask) He has facial hair on his chin and it goes up in the middle of his bottom lip. He also had red clan marks that went under his eyes and down the sides of his face. Lean and muscled while wearing a vest over black sleeveless shirt and the typical pants. All in all, not bad. HE He he he . . . He's getting into my training list along with Toriyama and Nariko.

I agree with you. They are going to be RULED by us!

For once I actually agree with you.

We are going to enjoy this.

Why do I have a bad feeling about this? Kanawashi, Nariko and Toriyama felt a chill go up their spine. I look at their faces and I see my new team. Kanawashi chooses this moment to speak, "I am Kanawashi Taka through I think most of you knew that when I came through the door. I am to be your team leader and head of Team 10. We will go to to the roof to introduce ourselves.". I walk out the door to the roof. A few minutes later, we are all on the roof in a rounded bottom triangle. I sit in the middle of the boys facing Kanawashi, waiting for him to speak. "We all will say our names and our likes and dislikes along with our dreams. I'll go first as a example." We all got comfortable as he started to speak, "My name is Kanawashi Taka and I like the color black. I dislike the color hot pink. My dream is to protect this village." My respect for him grew. I went next since neither of the boys decided to take the intuitive. "My name is Ookami-Neko through as I grow to trust you, I may reveal my real name. I like silver, animals and to train. I dislike strongly even say hate with a passion for the people who caused The Massacre and those who threaten my home, basically this village. My dream is to be Kage meaning that I'll be the closest friend/advisor to the Hokage or their shadow." Nariko spoke next, "My name is Nariko Oki and I like water, blue and black. I dislike spiders. My dream is become a great ninja.". Toriyama spoke next, "My name is Toriyama Nami and I also like water, blue and white. I dislike lizards. My dream is to become a teacher like Iruka-sensei.". I looked at our jounin who took in every thing we said. I look at him and say, "I know we have some kind of test ahead of us and since we wasted a lot of time earlier, why don't we do it now?". He looks at us and says, "Be at training ground 5 at eleven and don't eat lunch." before he disappears in a swirl of leaves. I look at my teammates and say, "See you at eleven." before I also disappeared in a swirl of cut leaves.

I didn't have much respect for my new "sensei" so I blatantly disobeyed him and I had a inkling of what he was going to do. The Bell Test. I had spent too long without enough food and I liked to know that I had enough food to last. My body seemed to know when to store up on food and my body was in the early stages of its "hibernation" or when food may be scarce. I went home and pulled at the same scroll as earlier and started drawing on my sketch pad. When I had finished it, it was fifteen minutes till eleven. I sent my sketch pad back. I had drawn my pack. All I needed to do was color it. I rush out the door to go to training ground five and see Nariko and Toriyama walking towards it same as me. I come up behind them as I drape my arms around their shoulders. We arrive to see a empty training ground and wait five minutes before our jounin arrives looking distraught. I walk up behind him and tickle his armpits. The man must have jumped a foot in the air. I laugh at his nervousness. I stop and ask him, "So what's the test?". He holds out two bells and says, "You three must get these bells before this timer," he sets a timer on top of a wooden post, "goes off at six." Nariko points out, "But there is only two bells." He smiles wickedly and says, "The two who get the bells can pass while the one who doesn't goes back to the academy.". He walks to the center of the field after hitting the timer and says, "The first skill of the shinobi is-" I cut him off with, "The ability to hide.". The three of us scatter into the trees. He smiles and says, "The first art of the shinobi is taijutsu.". I hop out of the tree and grab his arms. I know better than to think I have him and is proven right with a SUBISTUTION JUTSU. A log is in my arms and I duck, throwing a kunai as one is thrown at me. We go back and forth with hits till I say, "The second art of the shinobi is genjutsu.". I do a couple of hand signs and say, "TREE OF MYTH". I seem to swirl into nonexistence as a giant tree appears out of nowhere and its branches reach out for Kanawashi. Before he can say release his mouth is covered and his body is pulled into the tree. I appear as part of the tree and grab Kanawashi with a iron grip. I say,"The third art of the shinobi is ninjutsu.". I shout, "Now!" as both Nariko and Toriyama come out and start doing signs. Nariko shouts, "DRAGON OF ICE" as Toriyama is shouting, "ICE GIANT". Both go towards us and as the Ice Giant holds onto Kanawashi, Kanawashi begins to heat up and seem to disolve in spiders and lizards. Both gulp hard as the seemingly real spiders and lizards come toward them. I shout, "Release!" making the spiders and lizards disappear as well as my own Tree of Myth. The Dragon of Ice had faltered but kept going at us to grab the bells. Kanawashi does some hand signs and yells, "FLAMES OF DEATH". Black flames engulf the Dragon of Ice and Ice Giant. While he is busy with hand signs, I press chakra into the back of his neck, paralyzing him temporarily. I grab the bells as he says, "Who will you give it to.". I say while tossing Norika and Toriyama the bells, "If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have become a ninja. Even if I go back to the Academy, I am still a ninja in training. With that I can be content with until the next genin exam.". He nods at my decision as he say, "Noriko, pass. Toriyama, pass. Ookami-Neko, . . . Pass." My mind took a second for what he said to comprehend. "I . . .Pass? I thought you said only those who get a bell pass.". Even through I'm pretty sure that teamwork was the goal. He start to say, "You gave up your bell so that your teamates succeed. The goal of this exercise is to get genin to give up their personal success for the success of the mission. You passed.". I start to jump up and down like I had down when I had become a shinobi. We were officially a team!
