Chapter 2: Squad Seven is Formed
Kushina and the others were at the third training grounds.
Suigetsu turned."Okay guys, here is how it going to go."Suigetsu held out three bells."Your goal is to get these three bells from me. If you succeed, well done. If not, I tie you to one of those posts over there."He pointed to the posts.
"Anything else?"Souls asked.
Suigetsu thought for a moment."Yeah, thanks for reminding me. If you fail, I send you back to the academy."
This caught everyone by surprise.
Kushina spoke up."My father told me about this. His sensei, Kakashi Hatake, the Seventh Hokage, used this same method to see if you were ready."
Suigetsu nodded."Yeah. Sasuke thaught it might come in handy with my first squad, and it did."
"What are our limits?"Souls asked.
"You are allowed to use anything you have against me. Shiriken, kekkie genki, anything. Be prepaired to kill me, or you won't get the bells."
Everyone nodded.
Suigetsu turned."When I say go, we start."He turned back.
"Three."
The three genin prepaired. These three knew each other's jutsu and abilitys. They knew how to be a team.
"Two."
Suigetsu put a hand on his blade.
"One."
The three of them were ready, as was Suigetsu.
"GO!"
Suigetsu vanished in puff of smoke.
Kushina closed her eyes."Byukaugan!"she shouted. She surveyed the area.
Souls activated his Sharingan. He watched Kushina's back.
Minoru got his Shadow Possession ready.
Kushina began to form hand signs."Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Five clones formed around Kushina. The five of them went into the forest.
Souls noticed something come out of the trees. A sword.
He made a quick set of hand signs."Fire style: Fireball Jutsu."
He sent a fireball at the sword.
Kushina's clone threw a kunai at the side of the sword.
The Executioners Blade was sent fling back, spinning, at Suigetsu.
Suigetsu grabbed it, and jumped out of the tree.
Minoru toke his chance.
"Shadow Possession Jutsu."
Minoru locked with Suigetsu's shadow.
"Damn,"Suigetsu hissed.
Kushina jumped.
She began hitting Suigetsu's chakra points.
After three hits, Suigetsu turned into water.
By doing this, Minoru's Shadow Possession was broken.
Suigetsu reformed,a and charged, leaving his sword behind. He pulled out a kunai.
Kushina ran up behind him. She hit him on the back.
When Suigetsu hit the ground, he turned to a puddle of water, and reformed.
Souls did the hand signs and said,"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu."
Suigetsu got out of the way just in time.
Minoru sent another Shadow Possesion at him.
Kushina popped up behind Suigetsu, and grabbed for the bells.
Suigetsu jumped at the last second, flipping over Kushina.
Minoru's shadow locked with Kushina's. Minoru toke a few seconds to realese it.
In those seconds, Suigetsu grabbed his sword, and charged.
When the Shadow Possesion was canceled, Kushina jumped over him, and began to use her Byakugan to find all his chakra points, and close them.
Then, she noticed something off.
She turned to see Suigetsu's blade flying toward her.
She didn't have time to move. The sword impaled Kushina.
Everyone gasped.
Suigetsu came out of the trees."Is she okay?"he asked.
Kushina vanished in a cloud of smoke. A shadow clone.
Kushina came out from behind, and grabbed the bells.
All three were in her hand.
She tossed one to Souls, and another to Minoru.
Suigetsu's water clone vanished.
Suigetsu put his blade back on his back.
"Well,"he said with a smile."No one was ever bold enough to use that on me."
"We though that would work,"Souls put in."The three of us, along with a few others, have been practicing team work since we were kids. We thought up this plan together. Me and Minoru distract you-"
"-while I come in for the attack,"Kushina finished.
"Well thought out."Suigetsu grabbed his bottle, and toke a drink."I'm glad to call you my team."
The three of them cheered.
I've got work to do, Suigetsu thought to himself.
Shikamaru stopped his team. Over their time, they followed reports, and found a small camp.
Using his Byuakugan, Negi looked to see thee ninja, matching the discrbition of the rouge ninja they were hunting.
Shikamaru sent a seperate team out that would confront them.
Shikamaru, Shino, and Ino stayed behind, while Lee, Kiba and Sasuke went on ahead.
Shikamaru sent in his Shadow Possesion Jutsu at them.
The battle had begun.
Suigetsu toke his team to get some barbaque.
Along the way, they ran into a girl with red hair.
"Oh, Suigetsu,"Karin said, smiling.
"Hey Karin. I would like to introduce my new team."He held out his hand to the three genin.
Karin looked all three carfuly.
"Naruto's kid. One of the Nara twins. And-"She looked at Souls with growing curiosity."Souls Uchiha right?"
Souls nodded, shining with pride.
"Thought so. You look like your dad, but your chakra is way different."
Kushina cleared her throught."Okay. Who is she Suigetsu-sensei?"
Suigetsu smiled."Shes my wife."
Souls thought back."Oh yeah, Karin Hozuki. I just barley remember you. With Sensei here, I barley remember him to."
"Well, we haven't seen you in a long time,"Karin stated."Anyway, i'll go home and prepair dinner Suigetsu. See you when your done."
Suigetsu nodded, and lead his team away.
Karin smiled. She was glad to be married to such a wonderful guy.
Kushina found a table for them.
After they were seated, Another group walked in.
Kushina faced them."Hey Hana!"she called.
Hana Inuzuka turned and smiled."Good to see you Kushina."
The two squads meet up and talked. They got the same table, and waited fo the food. Chojiro seemed to be the most impatient.
"So, how did things go?"Souls asked Haruki.
Haruki gave Souls a dirty look, and replied."We managed to prove we will be a good team, after Hana shot three kunai at me!"
"Get over it!"Hana replied, iritated.
"It was an accident Haruki,"Chojiro said. He sounded just like his dad did at that age.
Kushina laughed.
"What?"Haruki asked, blushing.
"You and Hana will be really happy together Haruki."Kushina went back to laughing.
Hana and Haruki were quiet until they both got it. Both blushed.
"Now wait here!"Haruki was so red, you thought he was mad.
"I don't even like him!"Hana said too, blushing just as bad.
Souls, Chojiro and Minoru joined in the laughing.
Hana feinted, hitting the table, while Haruki just gave Kushina a peading look to stop.
After the laughing died, they looked to see Chojiro already starting to cook the food. They had to hurry before Chojiro began to eat all their food.
They all left with full stomaches and empty pockets.
Suigetsu and Asuma sighed. How had six kids managed to eat so much, even if one was an Akamichi.
The two teams split up.
Suigetsu stopped."Okay. Meet me at the training grounds tommarow morning."
He vanished, leaving the three genin on their own.
"Well, he used the Seventh Hokage's training,"Kushina stated smiling.
"Lets hope he dosen't have Kakashi's personality."Souls laughed.
"Oh god,"Minoru laughed."What a nightmare."
The three burst out laughing.
They talked as they went home.
The battle was over.
The three rouge ninja walked off.
Ryo sent a look to the passed out body of Ino."Weaklings."
"Well, the medic maybe, but the others were exceptionly goog,"Taki said with a laugh.
Arufa nodded."I agree. Though, that medic wasn't the worst i've seen. I've heard she was personaly tought by Tsunade's student. That student is curently head of the medical squad."
"Oh yeah, that Uchiha's wife."taki thought for a moment."Why not send her?"
"No clue."Arufa looked up at the sky and basicly zoomed out of the conversation.
"Lets go,"Ryo said, jumping into the trees.
Sasuke managed to wake up and do a summoning jutsu.
He summoned a summoned a snake.
The snake put all six of them on his back, and they vanished in a puff of smoke.
The medical squad found all six of the out side the hospital. All of them were in critical condition.
Sakura was called."Wheres Sasuke?"She asked franticly.
A group of medical ninja lead her to him.
All six of the ninja were being treated with dire care.
Sakura imediatly toke control of the situation once she saw the problems.
The three genin were stopped.
"Dad?"Kushina asked.
Minoru looked to see two others with him."Mom? Sensei?"
Temari and Suigetsu had worried looks on their faces.
"Souls, minoru. Your fathers are in critical contion,"Naruto told them.
The three of them looked as if they had just been hit with a ton of bricks.
Before they could stop them, the three genin raced to the hospital.
Naruto, Teamri and Suigetsu caught up in no time.
They all went to the hospital.
Souls and Minoru forced their way into the hospital room.
"Souls,"Sakura said.
"How is dad?"Souls asked.
"What about my dad and the others?"Minoru asked.
"Fine, both of them."Sakura looked as if she was crying."They are stable. Not fit to leave the hospital, but stable."
Kushina looked to see others there.
Tenten, Hana, Haruki, Mayu, Ayano, Hizone, and kakashi Hatake.
The three sat down, while sakura went back to work.
The following day, they left the hospital.
Suigetsu said their training could wait for another day, once things calmed down.
Kushina and Souls spent the day enjoying the day.
While hanging around the Uchiha house, some one came walking in the door.
Souls truned his head."Oh, Karin."
Walking with Karin was a little girl with black hair like Souls, tied in a pony tail, black eyes, and wearing a pink dress.
"Hey there Naomi,"Kushina said.
Naomi wiped her eyes. By looking at her, you wouldn't suspect that she was Souls' little sister. She looked more like her mother except for the hair and eyes.
Naomi looked at them. Her eyes were blood shot. She had been crying.
"Could you take care of her until your mother comes back Souls?"Karin asked.
"Sure."
Souls lead Naomi in. She was only a year younger than Souls, but didn't have the same personality as he did. She normaly crys, but she is tough.
Kushina got Naomi a cup of tea.
Naomi chuged it down.
After a while, Kushina told Souls good bye, and went home.
Souls sighed.
"What is it Souls?"Naomi asked.
"Nothing sis. Anyway, what were you crying about?"Souls locked eyes with his sister.
Naomi blushed."Its about dad in the hospital."
Souls nodded."I see."He cleaned a tear from his sister's cheek."Calm down. Your not alone. I feel sad about it too, but you have to learn to hide your emotions."
"Sorry."Naomi got up and went to a different room.
Souls sighed."She has work ahead of her."
A couple days past before Suigetsu had the team come back together.
This was their first mission as a team.
