A/N: This rewriting business will probably extend to all the chapters. It is now HALF TERM (cue tumultuous applause) so hopefully I'll have bucketloads of time. Hm, not likely is it.


"So, what IS this bloodline limit that I have?" Minamo asked Kakashi as they and her friends walked along the street.

"I believe that your doujutsu is quite rare; it didn't come from your world, did it?"

"um…no…"

"Well, then it's new. Unless there was a very ancient clan." Kakashi's eye curled upwards, indicating he was smiling to this newcomer.

"That…that's…AWESOME!" Minamo punched the air ferociously making Kyoko twitch a bit. It seemed that she was the only one without a bloodline limit; Mira had already demonstrated her ability in Earth and Mokuton jutsus to the humour of Kakashi and for Nyamo to get something to control the mind?

She kicked a stone and jammed her hands further into her pockets. She was so preoccupied that she almost didn't hear Kakashi's announcement.

"Right, you three. As you seem so eager to be ninjas, I shall give you the standard Genin acception test." Kakashi said.

"Ya mean the Bell Test?" Mira said, looking up, a glint in her eye. Since they all knew the secret, there was almost no meaning to it.

"Yes. As you seem to know the secret of it, I am going to make the rules slightly different," Kakashi pulled out of his pocket three bells, then gestured the three girls into the training ground. "You all have to get a bell from me. There should be no teamwork involved this time. You each have to get one, or you have to go back to your world. No excuses." Kyoko dropped her bag in a rare expression of shock.

Each of the three girls' eyes hardened a bit as they got into a defensive pose except Mira. "Can't we get weapons of some sort? I mean, we're at a severe disadvantage to you, Sharingan or not. We don't know how to control Chakra, and---"

"Yes you do," Kakashi replied quickly. "If you feel an inner warmth inside you, manoeuvre it to different parts of your body and make the seals, you should be able to carry out any jutsu you can remember in this world from your scrolls."

Kakashi took out his porn book again and closed his eyes. "Even so, I can sympathise to your 'disadvantage'. Tell you what. I won't use my Sharingan at all."

"FAT LOT OF DIFFERENCE THAT MAKE---"

Kakashi turned around so his back was facing them and said, "Time starts now. 5 seconds later, I shall turn around. If you haven't sufficiently hidden to a place within at least a metre's radius, I will assume you can't control your chakra properly and thus will fail the test."

Minamo whispered furiously. "Why the hell was he my favourite character in the first place…"

"5."

"SHIT!"

Mira felt the inner warmth instantly as she zoned into the centre of her body. She tried to control it, to move it to her legs so she could ninja-jump over to the bushes that were a couple of metres away. Unfortunately, her concentration snapped after about two seconds and she found it gathering in her arms. Seals…Seals… RIGHT! Tiger…Boar…Ox…Dog…Snake…Yeah, what jutsu does that make anyway?

Suddenly Mira disappeared, letting loose a bunch of clouds. In her place was a log. Mira, a couple of metres away, widened her eyes. That's normal...

It was Kyoko's turn. She had a harder time finding the inner warmth, but when she found it, it was very easy for her to navigate it to her feet. She leapt away, hiding amidst the bushes, nearer Kakashi. Minamo suffered a bit more difficulty controlling it, but she also managed to leap away, a second before Kakashi nonchalantly turned around. His eye swept the immediate surroundings, catching sight of the log and the leaves just settling on the ground where Minamo and Kyoko used to be. He smiled. That's good… He planned. If they really know about this world, then they pass the test. If they don't, then…he heard a bush rustle.

That's their problem.


Naruto literally burst into the Hokage's office.

"Well, Naruto, it is rare for you to see me so suddenly…what's the matter?"

"What's up with them? Why did you decide to let them take the bell test? They don't even know how to carry out ninjutsu dattebayo!"

The Hokage looked down so that only his mouth was showing and smiled, and Naruto stepped back. He was always surprised by what the Hokage said at times like this, and this was probably another one of these times.

"It's not the bell test you took, Naruto. This test was designed especially for those who already knew the workings of the Bell Test. They are given rules to split up and have to work on their own to get a bell each."

"That's weird. Kakashi-sensei is ALWAYS going on about teamwork! He wouldn't have designed a test like this." The Hokage smiled a bit more. "What's up with---"

His eyes widened. He then started to grin as well.

The Hokage finally looked up. "What's more important than the rules, Naruto?"

"Teamwork!"


Kakashi leapt for the bush that was rustling, forming two Kage Bunshins to seek out the other two. He thrust a kunai into the leaves, cutting many branches to find out who the intruder it was.

It was Mira.

They both jumped backwards a foot or two and surveyed each other. After a moment or two, Kakashi lunged again and swung his right fist, targeting her head. Mira stopped his fist with some difficulty, then brought it down viciously, causing Kakashi to stagger. Mira snatched for the bell, but by that time Kakashi had straightened, causing Mira's fist to plunge into his belly. He fell backwards a few feet, and when he got up, he saw Mira carry out a classic Kamae stance. Her right hand was flat and facing her opponent, as was her right foot, whereas her left hand was a right-angle's distance away from it, as was her left foot. Mira grinned rabidly.

"Now you see? I do Aikido, unlike them!"

Kakashi's Kage-Bunshin popped.


Kyoko instantly leapt back when Kakashi jumped to the bush that she was hiding behind. Unfortunately, she lost her footing and while she was getting up, the jounin had already put her in a genjutsu. Kyoko staggered and supported herself against the tree. Kakashi's genjutsu was eating away at her stamina and she felt her eyes droop.

Or so it seemed.

Kyoko's eyes regained their strength and her hand was almost blurred as she threw something at Kakashi.

His eyes widened. Thorns?! The thorns reached their desired target in what was visible of his face. Kyoko narrowed her eyes while smirking evilly.

"I prepare beforehand, unlike them." His bunshin popped.


Minamo jumped back repeatedly as Kakashi's earth spikes jutted out of the ground, threatening to pierce her. Suddenly, one succeeded to pierce her foot, making her scream and look at her opponent with an angry glint in her eye.

Now!

"FOR NARNIA!" Mira screamed as she and Kyoko leapt out from the trees and held Kakashi down; Mira had also manipulated her Earth kekkei genkai by making an underground vine tie him to the ground. Minamo's bunshin burst and the real her walked calmly, took the three bells and gave one each to Kyoko and Mira, who in turn grinned. Kakashi smiled as well as Mira's vine relented and sank into the ground.

"I'm missing something, aren't I?"

Minamo grinned and clenched her fist with the bell in. "While we were walking down the street, I found that I could keep mind contact with the other two; this was maintained by my bloodline limit."

"And how did you (he pointed at Kyoko) reach my face when you haven't had any weapons training---"

"Darts." Kyoko replied briskly.

"…But then how did you know when both of them were finished with me?"

"We had keywords; when we were all sure that we had defeated your bunshins, we said our strengths, after which we said?"

"Unlike Them." Mira trilled, carrying out a peace sign.

Kyoko interjected. "Your ruse to break our teamwork was quite sloppy for three people who know their world from back to front." She smirked again.

Kakashi sighed. Teamwork between girls was always something hard to beat. "Right, you three. You have proven that you are physically able to become a ninja. Now prove that skill mentally. Earn enough money to get a home for each of you."

Minamo hung her head. "Easier said than done."

Mira echoed her beliefs by saying, "Even if we do enough missions it wouldn't pay the rent for more than two of us…"

However, Kyoko's eyes glinted with sneakiness. "No worries there…" she fingered her backpack. She smiled. Kakashi widened his eyes.

This was not good.

A/N: 2 down…HOW many to go. Now you've got a rough idea of the characters and everything.
