AN: Raw666, you are a genius, thank you for the idea, I will try to incorporate that into future chapters. Benjamin236 I just might end up taking you up on that offer as I do have some difficulty when uninspired to create OC's.

I do not own Naruto, would I be doing this if I did?

Chapter Two: Konohamaru, Teams and the True Genin Exams

OoOoOo

Unknown Location

A shadowed nin quickly moved though dark, cavern like hallways ignoring everyone in his desperation to reach his master with his news. Emerging in a massive cavern he immediately knelt in front of a shadowed figure sitting in a throne in the center of room. "Report." The figure rasped as a pair of ice blue eyes with flecks of sharp crimson opened.

"It appears that Naru Uzumaki is now aware of what she carries my lord." The nin said remaining kneeling "However she had taken the news well thanks to her two companions Ryu Hisanaga, and Tukiko Uchiha."

The shadowy figure closed his eyes momentarily before opening them again "I see, that is good, she would be of no use to use should she be an emotional wreak. How did she find out?" The figure asked.

"A chunin by the name of Mizuki Touji attempted to defect from the village while stealing their forbidden scroll and by happenchance met up with Uzumaki and her friends, he then proceeded to attempt to demoralizing them by revealing Uzumaki's burden." The nin answered quickly "Also I saw that during the fight the three of them displayed uncanny teamwork that I have never seen in such raw genin before sir, with only a few words from Hisanaga they changed their formations seamlessly. I am personally amazed by the three."

The figure nodded "Thank you Junichi, you may leave." It said waving a hand in dismissal.

OoOoOo

Hisanaga Main Household

Naru moaned softly as her eyes opened up to the early morning sun. She immediately smiled at the sight of Tukiko snoring softly against Ryu's chest 'It's hard to believe it wasn't a dream,' she thought as she snuggled against her new boyfriend 'I am glad I know why the villagers hate but I don't understand why the Yondaime chose me though, wouldn't a clan member be a better choice?'

"I know that look," Ryu whispered causing Naru to start a little "What has got your mind spinning?" he asked as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"I want to know why the Yondaime chose me to carry the burden, I'm an orphan, why not a child that a clan would support?" she asked sadly "It doesn't make any sense."

"He didn't choose a clan because that would break the fragile balance amongst the clans." Tukiko answered for Ryu yawning softly as she opened her eyes and looked at Naru empathetically "Or maybe the Yondaime knew who your parents were and trusted them, and they ended up dying during the attack. Whatever his reason was I am sure it was a good one." She reassured stroking Naru's hair "Y'know you really should grow your hair out a bit Naru-chan."

Naru huffed a bit before saying "But it gets hard to clean it all, and it gets in the way of my Ataru style, not to mention people can grab at it easily." Grinning she sat up and crossed her arms "Beside Ryu-kun thinks it's hot, don't you Ryu-kun?" she asked demurely with a threat of the couch hidden beneath.

Ryu sweated as both Naru and Tukiko glared at him for an answer "Well I think that short hair looks hot on you Naru-hime, while long hair makes you beautiful Tuki-hime." He answered diplomatically causing the two of them to narrow their eyes before sighing in defeat.

"I suppose that's a good answer, for now." Tukiko said in a tone that clearly said it wasn't over "besides we've got ninja registry today and I don't want to miss that." Nodding in agreement they got up and went through their morning routine.

Ryu sighed as he made breakfast and looked out the window to the clan training field that the house rested beside, the compound itself was located away from most others in the middle of a small but hard to navigate forest due to his ancestors paranoia of people stealing their clan techniques. 'Something tells me that we are going to have to go through a lot of trials to remain together, Kami-sama please guide us through our trials and bless us with happiness through our pain.' He prayed to himself as he turned back to the food he was preparing, some omelettes filled with bacon and vegetables along with a side of home-style fries. 'Please protect them where I cannot and comfort them when I am unable, I ask you this as your humble servant and follower.'

Sighing he turned the stove off and set up the table and sat down just as Tukiko and Naru walked in the room with wet hair from their showers. "Smells good Ryu-kun," Naru said grinning as she sat down at the round table in the semi-large kitchen "Like always."

Tukiko giggled at Ryu slightly abashed and embarrassed look "You always have had a way with food Ryu-kun, if a ninja doesn`t work for you, you should open a restaurant." She said adding her own two cents and causing Ryu to blush harder and mumble a thank you.

After Ryu finished his own breakfast he went upstairs to have his own shower leaving Naru and Tukiko in the kitchen to clean up. The pair gossiped as they washed the dishes unaware when Ryu came down. He stood in the doorframe leaning against it as he watched them with a forlorn look as if he was looking into the future, in all honesty he could hear the sound of children`s laughter in his mind as he looked on. Shaking his head he cleared his thoughts with a grin as he stepped forward "You two ready?" he asked as they finished up.

"Yeah, let's go get this done." Tukiko confirmed strapping on her armour and sword while Naru did the same.

OoOoOo

Hokage's Tower

Sarutobi sighed as he review yet another registry form 'I hate paperwork.' He thought to himself as he gave it an approval stamp and called the next group in. He immediately smiled when he saw Naru and her friends enter 'finally a distraction!' "Hello, Naru-chan, Tukiko-chan, Ryu-kun, how are you doing?" he asked in concern directing the questioned to the red/blond Jinchuriki.

Naru smiled brightly at the aged Hokage "I'm fine jiji." She said "Still a little shocked but fine."

Sarutobi nodded as he smiled reassuringly "I'm glad Naru-chan, and I am truly sorry that you had to find out that way." He said sadly shaking his head.

"It's alright" Naru assured "Ryu-kun and Tuki-chan really helped me out, reminding me that I'm not the Kyuubi."

"Damn straight you're not." Ryu said with conviction in his voice "The villagers are morons if they truly believe that."

"Yeah, I don't think you would be so kind if you were a demon." Tukiko agreed slinging her arm around Naru's shoulder and hugged her gleefully while Ryu chuckled at the pair and Sarutobi stamped their registration papers.

They were just about to leave when a young boy around eight years of age jumped into the room shouting "I've got you know old man!" right before he tripped on his overly large scarf that was around his neck introducing his face to the ground. Growling he stood back up and glare at the trio "It's your fault, you tripped me!" he accused loudly.

"Correction: that overly large scarf of yours tripped you." Ryu deadpanned pointing at the scarf before the trio vanished from the boys sense only to reappear around him with their weapons drawn and blank looks on their faces "Not to mention how stupid it was to attack the Hokage when his subordinates are in the area." Ryu added in a cold voice his katana, Tenryu(1), at the boy's neck. The katana was double edged with the center of the blade indented on both sides, it had no guard but had a dragon's head where the guard would be and had the blade coning out of its mouth.

"Honourable Grandson!" a 5'9" tall man shouted from the doorway, he was wearing the standard jonin outfit with dark sunglasses covering his eyes and a bandana covering his hair. Surveying the room the man growled at the sight of the trio surrounding his charge "Unhand the Sandaime's grandson this instant, demon brat." He growled the last part causing the trio's and the Hokage's eyes to narrow at him before Ryu turned to the Hokage for confirmation.

At the Kage's nod the trio sheathed their swords and grabbed their ID's from Sarutobi's assistant who smiled in a comforting manner to Naru who smiled back. As they passed the kid Ryu leaned down and whispered "I wouldn't advise you to try and attack the Hokage again kid, next time someone might take offence and fix the matter."

Ebisu glared at Naru as they passed and they kept their hands on the hilts of their swords waiting for him to attack. After they left Ebisu turned to the Hokage to apologize for losing track of his grandson when he froze at the Sandaime's expression. "Ebisu," the kage said softly, but there was no mistaking the power behind the words "Tell me, is the glass that holds the water, water itself?"

Ebisu blinked in confusion at his leaders words "Hokage-sama?" he asked in confusion "What do mean?"

Sarutobi sighed in regret "Do you know how much that child has suffered in her life due to blind hatred Ebisu?" he asked slightly angry "I suggest you follow her and take a good look at how the villagers treat her. Dismissed."

Moving to grab his charge Ebisu blinked in confusion, he was gone.

OoOoOo

Konoha Streets

Naru fumed as the trio made their way through Konoha heading to Ichiraku's for lunch "I can't believe it, why can't people see past that." She growled in frustration as tears threatened to spill from her eyes "Why can't they see I'm human?"

Suddenly Ryu grabbed her and dragged her into a small alley where he forced her to look at him "Naru-hime, it doesn't matter what they think," he said sternly as he stroked her cheek and Tukiko held her "All that matters is that it shows you who your true friends are, if they can't see past your burden than are they really worth it?"

Naru sniffled as tears started to spill from her eyes "But it hurts," she whispered throwing herself into Ryu's chest "It hurts so much, Ryu-kun, Tuki-chan, all the hate, it presses down on me so much" sobbing she clutched harder to Ryu as he ran his fingers through her crimson-blonde hair and Tukiko rubbed her back in a soothing manner.

"It's alright Naru-chan," Tukiko whispered soothingly "just let it out, it's alright, we are here for you." Sobs continued to rack Naru's body for a while before she started hiccupping and lightened her grip on Ryu.

"Thank you guys," she whispered gratefully as her sobs slowed down "I don't know how I would survive without you. You two were always there for me as long as I could remember."

Tukiko and Ryu both smiled at her reassuringly "And we always will Naru, doesn't matter what anyone says, we will always love you, Naru-hime." Ryu swore and Tukiko nodded in agreement.

"C'mon, there is a bowl of ramen waiting for us at Ichiraku's." Tukiko stated and grinned as Naru brightened up immediately.

"Well what are we waiting for than!" She exclaimed happily dragging the pair with surprising strength "We can't keep Ramen waiting! It's blasphemous!"

Ryu and Tukiko laughed as they allowed themselves to be dragged by the jinchuriki unaware of Ebisu standing at the edge of the building looking depressed having heard the entire thing knowing his role in it. His eyebrow rose at the sight of his charge attempting to follow the trio unseen, key word there, attempt. It really was sad, I mean really, what ninja uses square boxes with holes cut in front and painted to look like a rock, I also don't think a ninja uses a camouflage in the opposite direction it was intended with the fingers and feet peeking out.

The trio studiously ignored the kid as they made their way to the ramen stand in the hopes that he would leave them alone, unfortunately it didn't work. Ryu sighed as he stared directly at the kid who was failing miserably at using a camouflage sheet to try and blend in with the fence "Come in, sit down and tell us why you're following us." He ordered in a semi frustrated semi bored tone before he entered the stand and sat between the two girls. The kid hesitated for a second before steeling himself and entered the stand.

"I want you to train me." He demanded standing behind the trio as they waited for their orders, arms crossed with an attempt at a stern glare on his face.

"Did you guys hear that!" Naru exclaimed sarcastically "He demands that we train him! Whatever should we do?" Ryu and Tukiko snorted at that as the kid grew furious "and pray thee, why should we train you. Especially when you have a bloody fucking private tutor, you know how many academy students would sacrifice their arms and legs for that?" she asked spinning on the stool to face him with a bored expression and her arms folded across her chest and an eyebrow raised "Not to mention you never introduced yourself at any point."

The kid's glare hardened "I am Konohamaru Sarutobi, grandson to the Sandaime Hokage!" he declared "I want to become stronger so that I can beat the old man and become Hokage so that everyone will recognize me as Konohamaru not the Honored Grandson!"

The trio paused and stared at the kid in disbelief before Ryu started laughing soon followed by the girls giggling. Konohamaru glared at the three of them growling in frustration "What is so funny!" he demanded in a loud voice stamping his foot on the ground.

"Sorry kid, inside joke," Ryu said calming down "Let's just say we knew someone like that once." Chuckling he faced Konohamaru with a grin on his face "So you want to become strong fast so that you will become Hokage right?" he asked, seeing the kid nod in confirmation he continued "Well, in that case... hell no."

Konohamaru blinked in shock before shouting "Why the hell not!"

"Aside from the chance of being arrested for conspiracy and aiding in the assassination of the Hokage, you would never be able to beat the old man with a mindset like that." Naru explained "Unlike you he doesn't grow strong for selfish reasons, he grows strong for the people that live here in Konoha, he fights to protect, whereas you are trying to destroy."

Konohamaru stood stunned for a few minutes as Naru turned back to her ramen "We aren't unsympathetic though, people can't see through our titles to see the real us," Tukiko commented sadly "Tell ya what, if you can tell us where real strength comes from, we will help you train."

Ryu grinned broadly at the kid "Here's a hint kid, it's close to home." He added cryptically "Your sensei is waiting for you outside kid."

Konohamaru exited to see that Ebisu was indeed standing outside of the stand waiting for him with a forlorn expression "Honored- no Konohamaru-kun please wait here for a minute." He requested before entering the stand himself.

Standing in front of the trio who eyed him either with suspicion, contempt or fingered the hilt of their blade as they waited for him to speak. He surprised them by suddenly bowing to them "I you an apology Uzumaki-san," he stated "I allowed my hatred to overcome my better judgment and that led me to wrong you. Please forgive my ignorance, it will never happen again."

Naru blinked a couple times in shock as she stared at Ebisu before tears started welling up in her eyes. Seeing this Ryu and Tukiko smiled gently as they put an arm around her shoulders and hugged her gently "That's the first time anyone has apologized to me for treating me like that." She explained sadly to Ebisu who looked confused at first than started to look angry at the fact that no one has ever apologized to her before than realized that he was no different. "Thank you for your apology Ebisu-san, it, it means a lot to me." Naru said gratefully as she melted into Ryu's and Tukiko's embrace.

Ebisu nodded and turned to leave the stand, just before exiting he turned back "If you need it, I can help with your training," he offered with a smile "Just let me know if you need help with something."

Naru had silent tears of happiness streaming down her face as Ebisu left "It looks like people are beginning to realize, eh, Naru-hime." Ryu said gently as he rubbed her back soothingly. "It's about damn time, eh?"

"Got that right," Tukiko inputted happily "Took them long enough though."

They stayed in the stand for another hour as they talked with Ayame and Teuchi who offered their own opinions on the Ebisu event before they decided to head home and get some training in for the day before heading to bed.

OoOoOo

Dreamscape

Ryu was panting as he ran through various dimly lit corridors running past doors searching for the exit while trying to evade his pursuers 'Gotta get out, gotta find the exit.' He thought hurriedly as he sprinted down a new corridor that suddenly opened up into a large coliseum like opening with a large throne in the center covered by shadows, only the intense golden, slitted, snake-like eyes that told him that someone was sitting there. "Fuck me sideways." Ryu growled out the cruse as he flexed his golden scaled claws getting ready for a fight as his gold colored draconic like wings and tail spread out behind him and his dark yellow eyes with slitted pupils darted around looking for an escape.

"There is no escape for you," The figure sitting in the chair mocked as several ninja with headbands sporting musical notes fazed into existence surrounding Ryu "I cannot let you leave at this time, not until the experiments are complete anyways, Kukukuku."

Golden chakra erupted around Ryu as he let out a massive roar that knocked two of the shinobi surrounding him back "I will get back to them," he vowed "and no one will get in my way!" With that said Ryu leapt at the closest nin with higher than jonin speeds and slashed his claws across the shinobi's chest before leaping into the air and gathering pure chakra into his mouth. 'Doragonton: Megafurea(2)' he intoned before launching a massive beam of pure white energy at the ground. The minute it connected everything went white.

End Dream

Ryu let out a strangled cry as he shot up awaking from his dream. Panting he stared at his hands seeing the clawed afterimage of his dream clenching and unclenching his fist as if to make sure it wasn't real.

"Ryu-kun?" Naru questioned sleepily from her spot next to him as both she and Tukiko looked at him in concern "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing's wrong himes," he reassured smiling "Just a bad dream, that's all, go back to sleep"

Nodding they let him lie back down before snuggling back up against him drifting back to sleep. Sighing Ryu stared at the ceiling as he thought about the dream 'what the hell was that?' he thought to himself 'And what the hell was I, it was like I was transformed into something... draconic.' A yawn escaped his lips as his eyes started to droop 'I'll deal with it later.' He thought tiredly before slipping off to sleep pushing thoughts of his dreams aside for later analysis.

OoOoOo

Hisanaga compound, next day.

The trio were lively as usual in the morning as they prepared for the day, each feeling equally nervous and excited about the team placements. Chatting amicably as they made their way to the academy they tried to calm their nerves by joking with each other and remembering some of their screw ups during training. "I still remember the time Ryu-kun first tried to create an explosive tag," Naru said giggling with Tukiko as Ryu grumbled in embarrassment "You looked so cute when you stumbled out of the room covered in residue from the explosion exclaiming how awesome it was."

"Well at least I didn't cause all of the trees to lose their leaves on somebody's first attempt at a wind jutsu." Ryu countered grinning triumphantly as Naru blushed a deep crimson in her own embarrassment and started mumbling something about if someone wasn't distracting her than she would have gotten it the first time. By the time they had gotten to the academy they had fallen silent and walked together in companionable silence together, entering they nodded to Iruka who nodded back and took their usual seats near the back of the class.

By the time nine o' clock rolled around the class was full with the freshly minted genin along with a couple of older ones being cycled into new teams due to unfortunate circumstances. "Alright listen up," Iruka called out and twitched when the class continued to talk, muttering under his breath he made a couple of seals for his 'Ninpo: Akuma Heddo(3)' technique causing his head to swell to large proportions and his voice to take a demonic quality "SHUT UP BRATS!"he shouted and surely enough it worked like a charm, like always. "You are all now full genin of the hidden leaf, meaning you are all now representing your village and kage, please act appropriately," scanning the room he smiled when he laid his eyes upon Naru and her friends 'yeah they'll do just fine.'"I am proud to have been your teacher and hope that you do this village proud, now team one is..."

Our favorite trio tuned out the first six of the team allocations until they heard Sasuke's named being called for team 7 "Sakura Haruno," the trio winced at the screech that she unleashed about true love conquering all "and Sai Takeru(4). Team 8 will be Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame and Hinata Hyuuga," Iruka praised Kami that none of them reacted the way Sakura did "Team nine is still in circulation, Team 10 is Shikamaru Nara, Chouji Akamichi and Ino Yamanaka," he was prevented from continuing due to Ino's whining about Sakura getting paired with Sasuke while she was paired with a tub of lard and a lazy kid "Team 11 is," Iruka grinned when he saw the team then the sensei 'Oh yeah, they will do just fine.'"Naru Uzumaki," the trio perked up "Tukiko Uchiha" Tukiko and Naru exchanged high fives "and Ryu Hisanaga." Iruka and Sasuke managed to block his ears just in time to protect them from the bombshell that was Naru.

"OH HELL YES." She shouted in excitement as both she and Tukiko glomped Ryu who was laughing along with them as everyone who didn't block their ears were temporarily deaf.

OoOoOo

Hokage's Office

Sarutobi ginned and shook his head as he attacked his paperwork once more with renewed vigor.

OoOoOo

Unknown Location

The figure with ice-blue, crimson flecked eyes blinked "Did you hear that?" he asked in confusion looking around as the nin around him nodded "What the hell was it?"

OoOoOo

Opposite Side of the World

Jiraiya blinked as he looked around 'Must of been nothing' he thought with a shrug before turning back to the group of naked ladies in the hot spring giggling perversely.

OoOoOo

Classroom

Iruka shook his head with a grin and continued the assignments once the deafness worn off smiling at the sight of Naru and Tukiko latched on to Ryu's arms as he smiled sheepishly to Iruka. "Your sensei will come and pick you up after lunch, good luck and train hard." Iruka said dismissing them 'I wonder what Anko is doing?' Iruka wondered as he left the academy with a skip in his step.

After a lunch at Ichiraku's with Sasuke who was using one of Ryu's Bodai Ten'i seal to hide himself from his fangirls. After revealing the new level of their relationship to Sasuke who after offering his congratulation threatened Ryu with a fate worse than Itachi's If he hurt either of them. After lunch they entered the classroom once more to wait for their sensei. About a half hour later a purple haired, black eyed female jonin wearing ANBU-style armor with a katana over one shoulder standing around 5'5" "Team eleven your with me, meet me one the roof in five." She said before shunshining out of the classroom, following by more conventional means, i.e. stairs, they found their new sensei leaning against the railing her arms folded across her chest with a slight grin on her face as they sat in front of her. "So you're the pranksters the Iruka-san talks about at the bars," she stated smiling wider with a twinkle in her eyes "How about we start by introducing ourselves, our likes, dislikes, dreams, the works. I'll start, My name is Uzuki Yugao, I like my boyfriend Hayate-kun, sword training and chocolate. I dislike perverts, rapists and snakes. My dream is to marry Hayate-kun. You're up red." She said pointing to Naru who grinned and adjusted her hai-ate.

"The name is Naru Uzumaki and I like ramen, training, Tuki-chan and Ryu-kun, I dislike the time it takes for ramen to cool, arrogant people who believe their better than everyone else and people who can't see past the surface, I have two dreams, first become Hokage to protect the happiness in the village, and I want to marry Ryu-kun and Tuki-chan." She ended blushing brightly as Yugao gave a short laugh before pointing to Tukiko to introduce herself.

"I am Tukiko Uchiha and my likes include reading, training, Naru-chan and Ryu-kun. I hate the copying abilities of the Sharingan as they are only a shortcut to true strength and can never measure up to hard work. My only dream right now is to marry Ryu-kun and Naru-chan." Tukiko said slightly embarrassed at the end.

Grinning Ryu spoke up while resting his elbows on his knees and leaned forward "Ryu Hisanaga is my name and I really like my himes here and swords along with training. My dislikes are arrogance, traitors and ignorance including my own. Like Naru-hime here I have two dreams, one is to become a Seal Master that can rival the Yondaime and second to marry my himes and have a lot of kids that would probably run me ragged." He said chucking at the end as Naru and Tukiko both had vacant looks and smiles.

Yugao chuckled at the three as she stood up straight "Alright, now it's time for your real genin exam. The first was only to weed out the ones that really weren't suited to being a ninja, however, this test will be a lot harder as the dropout rate is 66%." She elaborated grinning at their shocked turned awed expression. "Meet me in one hour at training ground twelve for your test, be sure to be ready." She ordered before vanishing in a swirl of leaves.

"Well shit." Ryu said summing up the trio's feelings at that point before they stood up and leapt off to prepare for the coming exam.

OoOoOo

Training Ground 12

Yugao was waiting for them as they entered to field that was loosely covered with rocks with a pond and a decent sized wooded area. "Good, you're on time with minutes to spare," She complimented the trio as they stood in front of her, pulling out a pair of bells she held them out in front of them "These are you objectives," she explained as she tied them to her waist "You have until the sun sets to complete this objective, the one who does not obtain a bell will be sent back to the academy."

Ryu narrowed his eyes as both Tukiko and Naru stiffened his brain was working overtime in an instant 'What that can't be right, all genin teams are four people, three genin one jonin, so why saw that the person who doesn't get the bell goes back to the academy?' he thought suddenly his eyes widened 'That's it, she wants us to find out if we can work as a team under similar circumstances.' Gritting his teeth he subtly signaled the other two to separate than meet with him after. Seeing them nod a miniscule fraction he tensed himself.

Seeing them ready Yugao offered them one last piece of advice "Come at me with the intent to kill or you will never succeed, begin!" the minute the words left her mouth the genin vanished. 'Not bad,' she thought 'their suppressing their Chakra quite well (heh), guess it's to be expected from pranksters.'

Deep inside the tree line Ryu was explaining the test meaning to the girls as Naru's Kage Bunshins kept a lookout for their sensei "So your saying that the point is to make sure we can work together no matter what?" Tukiko asked in confirmation.

Nodding Ryu pulled out a couple sealing tags "And I have a plan," he said grinning "These are seals for the 'Fuinjutsu: Shintai Kousoko'(5), it will restrict all movements for a period of time, it's not perfected so it won't last forever. Who will be the bait to give the others time to plant the seals?"

"I will," Naru volunteered "With my Kage Bunshins I can hold out a lot longer than you guys while giving cover at the same time."

Ryu and Tukiko shared a glance before nodding in agreement "Alright, just be safe won't you?" Tukiko pleaded "This is a jonin after all."

Naru flashed her fox-like grin at the two "Don't worry I'll be playing it safe." She reassured Tukiko giving her a brief hug before melding with the forest and disappearing.

Yugao sighed as she eyed the tree line 'Their planning something, could they have already figured out the purpose of the exam?' she wondered to herself as she started to move forward when a massive chakra spike stopped her dead in her tracks 'Holy Fucking SHIT! How in the HELL does a genin have this much chakra!?'

"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" Naru cried out creating easily 150 clones if not more, each of them had a fox-like grin on their faces and their wakazashi's in their hands ready to go "Ready Yugao-sensei?" Naru asked slightly mockingly "'Cause here we come!"

"Well shit." The purple haired jonin stated before launching herself back while drawing her katana at the same time "Well come on than!"

Naru's Kage Bunshins(NKB) began to circle the jonin as they attacked in random variables unable to land a hit as Yugao dodge and weaved her way through the attacking clones lashing out with her katana as she passed each clone.

Gritting her teeth Yugao planted her katana in the ground and flashed through some hand seals "Suiton: Suishoha(6)" she intoned before her chest swelled up (Not like that you fucking pervs) and spat out a large torrent of water that destroying the clones in the surrounding area. Grinning Yugao pulled her katana out of the ground "Now that's much better." She said before her danger senses flashed, jumping to the side she narrowly avoided Ryu planting a seal tag on her back.

"Shit." He growled as he put the tag away and drew Tenryu and held it parallel to the ground with his legs spread out and the finger tips of his left hand resting on the blade itself "Naru! Back me up!"

"Hai!" she confirmed as she started flashing through some seals "Fuuton: Kaze Ya(7)" she intoned before inhaling and sharply exhaling several transparent arrows of wind.

Cursing Yugao jumped out of the way of the arrows only for Ryu to charge at her clashing blades with his sensei "Hey sensei, you know what the swordsman's greatest weakness is?" Ryu asked seeing her skeptical look he grinned viciously. "They don't use their body." Lashing out with his fist he caught Yugao by complete surprise and managed to land the blow and leap back out of the way of Naru's 'Fuuton: Kaze Kunai'(8).

Yugao grunted as the kunai embedded in her skin before she poofed away reveling a log "Fucking 'Kawamari'." Naru cursed as she and Ryu stood back-to-back looking for Yugao.

In the tree line Yugao appraised the pair 'Good idea going back to back, but where is Tukiko-san?' She wondered before shrugging 'Best deal with those two first.' Sheathing her katana she flashed through a couple of handseals before whispering "Suiton: Mizu Bunshin(9)" causing the water to rise up around the pair and form into copies of their sensei.

"Oh, fuck me." Ryu moaned before he saw half of the clone flash through handseals and the other half move to attack "Oh fuck me sideways!" Leaping he and Naru barely managed to avoid several blasts of water but were immediately set upon by the clones that leapt to engage them. Narrowing his eyes Ryu blocked the sword of one clone while he lashed out with his foot destroying another in a round house kick, using the momentum he spun around the clone he was blocking and punched it in the back of the head before slashing his sword against another's throat.

Naru was leaping above clones using her agility to surprise them by attacking from odd and unusual angles flicking her hand out she embedded several shuriken into a clone before using another as a footstool to leap off of, throwing her wakazashi at the clone she just leapt off of she flashed through some seals before shouting "Fuuton: Kamaitachi!(10)" before thrusting her hand out and sending a massive whirlwind at the clones destroying them.

Landing she recovered he sword as Ryu finished the last of his clones off inhaling through her nose she caught their sensei's sent and threw a barrage of shuriken causing Yugao to abandon the position only to be met by Ryu who just finished a set of handseals "Raiton: Kougeki Boreto"(11) he intoned thrusting out his palm and launching a bolt of lightning slamming into their sensei.

Just as she was recovering Tukiko suddenly appeared and slapped a seal on her arm causing her joints to freeze up making her unable to do anything as Tukiko gathered the bells and rejoined the others high-fiving them "Very well done, mind releasing me now?" She asked but before they could do anything the weight in her arms vanished causing her to blink in confusion and look at the oddly as she stood up.

Ryu chuckled as he scratched behind his ear "The seal isn't finished yet so it doesn't last very long unfortunately." He explained sheepishly.

Blinking Yugao stared at him "You made this?" She asked in confirmation, a nod, "Fuck, let me know when you're done, I know tons of ANBU who would give an arm and a leg for a seal like this, even incomplete." She praised causing Ryu to blush "Now who gets the bells?" She asked turning serious.

The three look at each other and nodded before Tukiko tossed the bells down surprising Yugao "None of us, we're a team, if one goes back to the academy, than we all go back to the academy." Naru said with conviction.

"Besides, Iruka-sensei would give us a sensei just so that he doesn't have to put up with us again." Tukiko joked giggling as Ryu smirked broadly.

It started off as a giggle but soon Yugao was holding her sides in full-blown laughter as the trio looked at her uncertainly wondering if they should call the nice men dressed in white to take her away for 'help'. Calming down Yugao smiled at them "Congratulations, you are the first to pass the bell test that Kakashi Hatake created to test for teamwork." She said as the trio stared gob smacked for a minute before they started smiling.

"We did it!" Naru shouted glomping the other two to the ground as they laughed hugging her and Yugao looked on in amusement for a minute letting them celebrate before clearing her throat calling attention to herself.

"Yes you have passed, you are now team 11, meet me here tomorrow at 6 o'clock to start your training." She ordered with a grin "Now get out of here I have to report this to the Hokage."

Ryu turned to the girls and grinned "well himes, how about we go to Ichiraku's to celebrate?" he asked causing Naru to glomp him again and Tukiko to laugh at her antics.

OoOoOo

Hokage's Tower

Yugao arrived in a swirl of leaves at the Hokage's office still wearing the grin "Proud to report Team 11's success Hokage-sama." She reported shocking Kakashi as the other Jonins looked on curiously "And they passed the bell test with flying colors to." She added causing the other jonin to drop their jaws in shock.

"They passed my test?" Kakashi asked finally recovering from his shock, a nod and a wider grin from Yugao "Holy shit, I knew they had good teamwork, but this is beyond anything I thought they had."

The elder Sarutobi chuckled as he surveyed the reactions "Good to hear Yugao-san, anything else?" he asked pleasantly.

"Just that they are all prodigies in their own right," she said "Naru-san's massive chakra reserves and her skill with Fuuton jutsus is downright scary, she made over a hundred shadow clones and still had plenty of chakra to spare, Ryu-san created a seal that completely restricts movement for a short period of time, and Tukiko-san managed to sneak up on me while I was recovering from a nasty shock using a genjutsu to cloak herself."

By this time it should be assumed that everyone was significantly shocked to say the least, I mean who wouldn't be, you expect to hear stuff like creating over a hundred Kage Bunshins from a jonin that has train for a hundred years started the minute he or she left the womb, not a bloody genin, the only ones not in a state of near apoplexy was the Hokage, Yugao(obviously) and Kakashi who taught her the technique.

"Thank you Yugao-san," The Hokage said with a smile "You may go now."

Bowing Yugao left via shunshin as Kakashi started laughing at everyone's shocked expression.
