Chapter 3: The Importance of Teamwork!I was asleep when my alarm went off and it scared me. "Gah! What the hell!" I shouted sitting up quickly. I yawned and looked over at my alarm clock trying to see what time it is. 4am damn it sensei making us get up early. I climbed out of bed and walked over to my closet frowning as I just remembered a very huge problem I have. I have nothing to freaking wear for training! All I have is normal everyday clothes and ceremonial kimonos that I rarely wear! "What to wear today is what I'm really worried about." I said while looking through my closet desperately. "Does it matter because it's only going to get dirty anyways?" Ryo said leaning against my wall. "Ryo?! Don't sneak in my room like that!" I yelled at him while clutching my chest."Sorry, besides keep it down you might wake father." Ryo said bitterly. I shivered at the thought of waking Oto-san. "Yea…what am I going to wear I don't have any training clothes." I mumbled to Ryo. Suddenly, I felt something hit me gently in the face then land in my arms. Looking down I see clothes. "Huh? When did you get this Ryo?" I asked surprised with the sudden article of clothing.
"Does it matter?" Ryo asked coolly, walking out my room. That was sweet of him to get me some clothes. Although I wonder how the heck does he know what size I am? I ran into the bathroom with my new outfit and jumped into the shower. Today I will not fail in the survival test no matter what. I poured my strawberry shampoo into my hair and started rubbing it in until my head was full of lather and bubbles. As I started rising out my hair preparing to climb out the shower, my mind slipped to my new teammates. Yuki's is quite the arrogant annoyance for someone's name which means Snow. Snow is supposed to be pure but he's anything but that. Although, Kiyoshi's name fits him perfectly since he comes off as pure in my opinion. I'll get along nicely with him rather then that irritating Yuki which I consider another Uchiha. "Onii-chan! Come out already I want to see your new clothes that Nii-san brought." Rain said from outside the door. I chuckled at her while climbing out the shower to dry off then stared down at the clothes. "Alright, just let me put them on first Rainy-chan then you'll get to see." I said with cheerfulness. After completely drying off, I picked up the white and navy blue, sleeveless, knee length dress and started putting it on. Shortly after I slipped on my navy blue ninja shorts, I started on my hair.
"Amy you're going to be late hurry up and get dressed." Ryo said knocking on the door. "I'm coming give me a second to at least fix my hair." I replied while about to tie back on my navy blue hair ribbon when I noticed my headband on the sink in front of me. I put my regular ribbon down and tied my navy blue headband onto my head in place of my ribbon. Then I walked out the bathroom and looked at my two siblings. "How do I look?" I asked and twirled in a full circle. "You look pretty Onii-chan! Don't forget to put on your sandals and kunai holster." Rain said handing me the navy blue sandals. I put them on then strapped my Kunai holster on so that it was on my left side. Afterwards, I hugged Rain and Ryo tightly then left for training. Ryo really outdid himself this time. I looked down at my new outfit and smiled lovingly at it. "I can't wait until I get to the training field and get this survival test over with." I said walking down the path and across a bridge to get there. "So the emo made it on time I'm surprised." Yuki said sarcastically. "Oh great you weren't a dream old man." I said walking over to the tree and sitting under it. "Didn't I tell you before to stop calling me old man?!" Yuki shouted angrily. "Can you two please stop arguing? Most of us just woke up." Kiyoshi said looking between us. "Yuki started it…I was just defending myself." I said while adjusting my headband.
"Ohayo Amy-chan why didn't you wait for me like usual?" Naruto asked walking up to me. "Oh my gosh I'm sorry Naruto-kun!" I said feeling guilty. "It's ok Amy-chan you'll just have to make it up later.' Naruto said sitting against the tree falling asleep. Well that's the typical Naruto I grew to know. I giggled a little at the thought. "So what do you think the survival test will be like?" Kiyoshi asked me. "It'll be hard for you losers since your weaklings." Yuki said arrogantly. That's it I'm sick of his cocky attitude! "Yuki! You idiotic moron shut and listen then maybe you'd learn to keep your mouth shut!"I yelled at him fiercely. "Amy-chan calm down please save that energy for the test." Naruto said from behind me. "Morning Sasuke-kun" Sakura said walking up to us. "Fangirl there are others here you know so you could at least say hi." I said annoyed. "Great now that we're all here where the heck is our senseis?!" I shouted. "Yea we've been waiting over an hour!" Naruto shouted alongside me. "I hate to say I agree with emo and the idiot." Yuki said. " I could have came late and they would have never known." I said sighing. "Maybe they are here and they're watching us this very moment? " Kiyoshi Suggested. "I doubt that's the case Kiyoshi." I said bluntly.
It had been half an hour later and everyone was tired. I looked around Naruto was asleep next to me, Yuki and Kiyoshi were reading scrolls, and Sakura and Sasuke were standing across from me. "Sorry we're late a black cat crossed our path." Kakashi-sensei said. "You're late!" Me, Sakura, and Naruto yelled. "Alright, Squad 12 please follow me to where our test will take place." Narashi-sensei said. "See you later Naruto-kun and you better pass." I said walking off with Yuki and Kiyoshi. "I will Amy-chan I promise! Believe it!" Naruto shouted confidently to me. We walked down an old dirt road for about 5 minutes until we reached a stream and some rocks. "Your test is simple you three are to get these bells from me." Narashi-sensei said smiling. "But, theres only 2 bells which means one of us will fail." Kiyoshi said. "But, then if one of us fails then we wouldn't be a squad." I said softly. "Your test begins now!" Narashi-sensei said and disappeared. "Oh great a game of hide and seek but ninja style." I said looking around. "Hn I won't be failing that's for sure." Yuki said heading off into the forest again. "I'll be the one to find Narashi-sensei before Yuki does." I said walking over to the stream. I looked into the stream as my reflection rippled then an ominous wind blew. "What's with the wind?" I asked aloud. I turned as leaves flew up all around me. What the heck is this? "Amy-chan I hate you!" Naruto shouted pointing directly at me with a hateful glare.
"N-Naruto? But we're best friends!?" Why?!" I shouted at him obviously hurt. "You were never a true friend you liar I hope you die!" Naruto yelled running off into the forest. I stared horrified as he ran off and bit my lip wanting to cry. Wait Naruto-kun is taking his test so this must be genjutsu! I composed myself and did one simple handsign. "Release!" I shouted as my surroundings changed. Unknowingly, Kiyoshi sat in a tree nearby while waiting with a scroll in his hand. "This will give me an edge if it goes smoothly." Kiyoshi mumbled. I heard a bush move behind me and turned just in time to dodge an incoming punch. "Narashi-sensei that genjutsu was not funny!" I shouted lividly at him and tried to kick him. He dodged my kick and ended up grabbing my foot, slamming me into the ground. "Agh!" I screamed as he then swung me away by my foot. He's too fast for me to land a kick or punch on him. "Summoning Jutsu: Thousand needles of death!" Kiyoshi shouted from above me with a scroll in hand. As the scroll opened thousands of senbon poured down on Narashi-sensei."K-kiyoshi you're going to kill him." I stuttered in shock.
"Amy-chan he's a jounin he won't die." Kiyoshi said landing next to me. I looked at him with surprise then over to where Narashi-sensei was. "He turned into a log due to substitution jutsu." I said alarmed. Then as if matters couldn't get any worse I heard from somewhere nearby, "Water style: Blasting water geysers!" Yuki shouted as water shot up through the ground around us. "Agh!" I yelled as the water nearly ripped my arm out its socket due to the upward force of it. "Amy-chan are you alright?" Kiyoshi asked looking at my arm. "I'll be fine thanks for worrying." I said with a grateful smile in his direction then gasped. "Look Out!" I said grabbing his hand and jumping back avoiding a barrage of kunai. "Nice try Yuki but not enough to get you a bell." Narashi-sensei said appearing behind him then kicking him from behind. He landed in front of us and growled. "Look you guys I think we should work together." I said suddenly. Yuki and Kiyoshi looked at me with confusion. "There is no way I'm going to help you losers." Yuki said immediately. "I think your idea is perfect Amy-chan and Yuki it's our best chance, our individual attacks aren't working." Kiyoshi said looking at Yuki. Yuki growled but nodded his head. "Fine just this once, but after this stay away from me." Yuki said glaring.
"Whatever here is the plan; we attack him until we have him surrounded." I said carefully. "Once he's surrounded we spring the ultimate trap which is?" Yuki asked. "Yuki blast him with another water geyser and I'll freeze him solid…" I said quietly. "I wouldn't call that an ultimate trap exactly, but we have our plan lets go." Kiyoshi said with a serious face. As we went off I noticed the wind picking up. "Narashi-sensei genjutsu won't work twice on me." I said preparing myself. "That's fine I wasn't planning to use it." Narashi-sensei whispered into my ear. I swung my leg around as quickly trying to roundhouse kick him. He dodged and blocked my kicked as I tried to hit him variously. "Fine you've asked for it Sensei!" I said then started doing hand signs. "Hope you don't mind if I cut in!?" Yuki said jumping down doing hand signs too. "Water Styles: blasting water pillar jutsu!" I saw Narashi-sensei become surround by a wall of water. "Ice Style: Ice ball barrage!" I shouted as it collided with Yuki's jutsu freezing the water pillar.
"Alright, how do we get the bells now genius?" Yuki asked sarcastically. "I actually don't know, didn't think about that before." I admitted sheepishly. "Then you two are lucky I nabbed the bells before you froze him." Kiyoshi said shyly holding them up. "One of us has to fail since there are only two bells." I said sadly. I blinked surprised when Kiyoshi gave Yuki and I the bells. "B-but Kiyoshi you'll fail and you're the one who got the bells!" I exclaimed to him. "It's ok I know how bad you wanted to pass." Kiyoshi said smiling. I saw Yuki smirking at his bell and Kiyoshi kicking at the dirt with his hands in his pockets. I felt guilty and sighed loudly. "This don't feel right, here Kiyoshi you keep it." I said giving it back to him. "Amy-chan?!" Kiyoshi said to me surprised. "It's alright…I'll figure something out." I said smiling. "Its fine all three of you pass." Narashi said from behind us. "What?! We passed the survival test?!" Yuki shouted. I was overjoyed and jumped up and down. "Do you understand how you passed?" Narashi-sensei asked.
I thought about what Narashi-sensei said and how we got the bells. "Is it because we used teamwork to get the bells?" Kiyoshi asked suddenly. "Yes, that's the importance of a squad." Narashi-sensei explained. "That makes perfect sense because in a 3 man squad teamwork is crucial." I said smiling. "I'll be letting the Hokage know and squad 12's first mission is tomorrow. Congratulations." Narashi-sensei said then disappeared. "Finally my career as a ninja is finally taking off!" I shouted happily. "Hn when the time comes I won't hesitate to attack either of you." Yuki said then walked off. Who cares what Yuki thinks we just passed the Survival Test! I thought happily. "Well Amy-chan I'll see you tomorrow for our first mission." Kiyoshi said then walked off. I started walking towards Ichiraku's to celebrate, when I got hugged by an orange and blue blur. "Hiya, Naruto-kun how your test go?" I asked with a smile. Naruto flashed one of his toothy smiles at me. "We passed! No thanks to that jerk Sasuke!" Naruto said enthusiastically. I sweat dropped then glomped Naruto-kun out of happiness. "Let's celebrate with Ramen!" I said happily while hugging Naruto around the neck. "Amy-chan I'm supposed to be having ramen with my squad." Naruto said while carrying me. "For once, I don't mind being in the same place as Haruno or Uchiha especially since nothing can ruin my mood today." I said to him.
Next Morning, I woke up with a smile remembering last night. "About time you woke up, Father and mother are waiting for you in the family room." Ryo said with slight bitterness. I sat up quickly with wide eyes, and then looked over at my closet thinking of what clothes to wear. "Did they say what they wanted me for?" I asked brushing my hair and slipping my shoes on. "No but something tells me it's not anything good." Ryo said leaning against the door. I got up and walked past him towards the family room with a blank expression on my face. "Oto-san, Oka-chan you've been looking for me?" I asked looking at them both. "Please take a seat Amy, we have something important to discuss." Oka-chan said with a smile. I sat down in front my parents and looked at my father who was smirking. Why is he smirking something isn't right. "Amy Iwoka it has been decided you are to be the next heir of the Iwoka clan." Father said. I went wide eyed at the news and looked between the two of them. "What I'm the next clan heir?!" I shouted out of surprise. "We have been keeping our eyes on you for quite awhile and decided your ready for this." Oka-chan said with the same smile. Something is off with Oka-chan's smile; it's almost as if it's forced. I also wonder why they chose me over Rain or Ryo. "Starting tomorrow you will be given lessons here at the compound that involves learning of our clan's history and everything else that corresponds to being an Heir." Father said.
"But, I'm a ninja now and we start our first mission today!" I said with a frown directed mainly at my Oto-san. "Honey from what your father tells me you are better off learning to become the next heir rather than becoming a konochi." Oka-chan said touching my headband. I pulled back and glared directly at my father. "First you expect me to be number 1 in class, then you basically ignore and insult me on a daily basis, and now you don't want me to be a ninja at all due to being worried that I'll disgrace the family name?!" I shouted in anger. Father stood from his spot and glared down at me coldly. "You are a disgrace to this family by hanging around that demon everyday instead of with Sasuke Uchiha like I asked you. You also have very inexcusable skills as a ninja, going around showing emotions like a weakling." I don't hang out with Sasuke because he's a jerk!, I don't understand why you think it's important for me to hang out with him anyways? His entire clan except himself and Itachi is dead what do you expect to gain?! It's not like me befriending the jerk is going to raise the entire dead clan of the Uchiha. Also another thing that demon has a name and it's Naruto! I'd rather hang with him everyday rather then play friends with an egotistic, self centered, know it all, jackass like Sasuke." I yelled while pounding my fist on the table.
My father grabbed my wrist with force and pulled me over the table onto his shoulder. Oka-san reached towards me with tears then put her hand down as she watched father carry me out. "My poor little girl…oh how I wish I could stop this." She said as more tears fell on the table. As I was being carried I saw Ryo and Rain in the hall giving me scared looks. "Don't worry I'll be alright you guys." I said wincing as Father's grip tightened. I wonder what he's going to do to me this time? We had walked into a dark room with navy blue walls, several bookshelves lined with books, papers, and picture frames, the floor was wooden and had several dark stains that I couldn't make out. I bet those stains are my dried blood from the other encounters with father. My father then suddenly picked me up over his head and threw me into a wooden training dummy with massive force. "Itai! You know this is against the law and makes you a horrible parent!" I shouted getting up dodging a punch aim at my throat. "You ungrateful brat who shouldn't have our last name, you should be sent back to the Land of Snow." Father said as his hands flew through several hand signs. "Hidden Technique: Icicle prison!" he said as I became trapped in a cube the size of me. Is he going to leave me here to freeze to death?! He wouldn't dare… "Why must you be cruel Father?! I always keep getting punished yet I never see Ryo or Rain ever gets hit." I said then winced as spikes came out the walls of the cube and cut into my skin. "Ryo is on his way to taking over as Clan head and rain is my precious daughter that will someday take your mother's place. Which means why should I be kind to a weak, useless, pathetic, child that I have no use for?" Father said leaving the room and locking the door.
I shivered and pulled my arms and legs together to avoid the slowly growing icicle spikes. What's the point of even living anymore….if it's not at the academy I'm being picked on, it's the abuse from father at home. What did I do to even deserve this…ever since Oka-chan remarried my life has been a nightmare. I might as well stay in here and freeze or bleed to death rather than go back out there.. Eventually I passed out due to numbness and blood loss. 15 minutes later, I woke up again to two figures coming through the door, one is tall and the other was short. They approached my prison and it turned out to be my siblings. "Nee-chan! Are you alright we're going to break you out!" Rain said doing hand signs. Ryo stopped Rain and took out his blue Katana then skillfully cut the cube so that I was free. "R-ryo…R-rain...t-thanksss…" I stuttered then blinked when Ryo picked me up and carried me out the room. "What did he do to you this time?" Ryo asked as he placed bandages on my arms and around my waist. "Father did this to you Onii-chan?" Rain asked with tears brimming her purple eyes. I nodded then winced when Ryo put pressure on my arm wound from the survival test. He locked me in a frozen prison and left me to die. But, I can't tell Rain that she's too innocent to know that. "He's got to be stopped Ryo otherwise he will end up ruining our family." I said then winced again in pain. Rain got up and left out the room, running towards the front door.
As Rain went running down the hall, she collided with someone's leg. "I'm sorry! I wasn't paying attention and…" Rain passed while apologizing when she saw a red headed boy. "No I'm very sorry about not moving in time." The boy said with a slight pinkish tint on his cheeks. Rain got up then into a loose fighting stance Ryo taught her with a vicious glint in her eyes. "Who are you three?" Rain asked in a more stern voice. "Ah, we're sorry for intruding in the Iwoka household but we're looking for Amy?" Narashi-sensei said with a polite one. "How do you know Oni-chan?" Rain asked lowering her guard. "We're her teammates and she's late to training." Yuki said with his arms crossed. "Oh ok please wait here while I go get Oni-chan." Rain said shyly then ran off. I didn't know Oni-chan's teammate were so polite, well most of them are anyways. I hope she'll be ok…
