The light shone through a window and passed over Mizu and Hinata's sleeping form. The light landed on Mizu's face and she slowly started to wake." Mmm... argh" said Mizu with a yawn and thightening her hold on Hinata and snuggling closer to her.

"Come on Hina it's time to get up..." whispered Mizu right into Hinata's ear and trailing her fingers up her side "Hm... five more minutes." whined Hinata trying to snuggle more into Mizu's chest. "Hey now as much as I would like to stay here with you we have to get up" said Mizu slowly releasing her grip on Hinata.

"Hmph fine, but before we get up can I get a morning kiss?" asked/teased Hinata bringing her head closer to Mizus' and stopped when their lips were only centimeters apart. Mizu pretended to ponder on the answer, but quickly met Hinata's lips with her own.

"Now we can get up" said Hinata getting up and stretching slightly.

They both got ready for the day and wore the same out fit as yesterday, feeling that there wouldn't be much to do for the day. "Morning" said Mizu as she sat down in the kitchen where Hanabi was reading a scroll and Hisashi was reading the paper.

"Morning Mizu" "Morning Mizu-neechan" said Hanabi and Hisashi at the same time "So what are you doing today?" asked Hisashi still looking at his paper "Well I picked Kakashi as my sensei, so I have to meet up with my team to do a training exercise" said Mizu grabbing an apple.

But before she could take a bite in it, Hinata quietly entered the kitchen and took it, taking a bite instead. "Didn't Kakashi-sensei say not to eat any breakfeast" teased Hinata pulling away from Mizu and continuing to eat the apple "Hey having a apple in the morning isn't breakfeast it's a snack!" exclaimed Mizu grabing another apple.

"Any way what are you doing Nee-san?" asked Hanabi looking up from her scroll "Well Kurenai-sensei said to meet her and my other teammates at training field eight this morning so I'm heading there" answered Hinata while patting her sister on the head. "Any way we have to go!" shouted Hinata as she pulled Mizu out the door.

As they walked Mizu and Hinata continued to eat their apples while holding hands with their free ones. When they arrived at Hinata's training field Kiba and Akamaru and Shino were already there waiting. "Good Morning Shino-kun, Kiba-kun!" said Hinata as Mizu kust nodded to them politely. "Morning Mizu-san, Hinata-chan!" shouted Kiba, while Akamaru walked over to them and stopped at Hinata's feet.

"Well good morning Akamaru" said Hinata picking him up and hugging him "Morning" said Shino quietly with his hands in his pocket. "Hey Mizu shouldn't you go and meet your team now?" asked Hinata while petting Akamaru "Well from the file Jii-chan gave me is seems that my sensei's always late so I think I'll leave when Kurenai-mama comes" answered Mizu laying on the grass.

"Hey Mizu-san I've been wandering, why do you call Kurenai-sensei Kurenai-mama?" asked Kiba looking down at her from where he was sitting. "Huh oh well Kurenai-mama was assigned as Hinata's bodygaurd when she was a chunin, that's how we met, but we grew close during that time and pretty soon I always called her Kurenai-mama, because she's like my mom." explained Mizu smiling at her memories of the time they met.

Soon after Mizu explained her relationship with Kurenai, Kurenai showed up "Good Morning team!" said Kurenai happily "Morning Zuzu-chan!" "Hey morning Mama" said Mizu standing up and giving Kurenai a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Anyway as much as I would like to stay and chat I said that once you got her I'd leave so..." "Actually you still have a couple of hours left" said Kurenai cutting Mizu off.

"Huh I do? Surely he's there by now?" asked Mizu with a raised eyebrow "Nope sorry, but Kakashi is never on time and he comes up with the lamest excuses" stated Kurenai with a sigh "Well alright, but my teams suffering so it's only fair to suffer with them" replied Mizu walking out of the training field.

When she arrived everyone was there, but Kakashi was still a no show. "So where've you been Mizu-san?" asked Sakura "Huh oh well I walked Hinata to her training area and hung out with her and her team" explained Mizu leaning on the birdge.

The group waited another four hours untill Kakashi finally arrived. "YOUR LATE!!!" shouted Naruto and Sakura "Yes well you see I got lost on the road of life" replied Kakashi while scratching the back of his head. "Ha Kurenai-mama was right you do come up with lame excuses" retorted Mizu with a laugh.

"Anyway, today we will be having a survival test. This way I can see if youâ–“re qualified to become genin" explained Kakashi with his only visible eye forming a U "Wait a sec Kakashi-sensei I thought we were already genin?" asked Naruto shocked "No Naruto what you guy's are a academy graduates, this test is to see if your fit to become genin" explined Kakashi pulling out two bells from his pocket.

"Alright right here I have two bells your job is to get a bell for yourself, in order for you to pass the test you must get them from me, by any means nesscessary," said Kakashi "But if you don't get one by this after noon you'll be tied to one of the log polls right there and watch as I eat lunch in front of you"

'So that's why he said not to have breakfeast this morning' thought all the genin grimly

" Now then on your marks get set..." before Kakashi could finish his sentance Naruto quickly pulled out a kunai and charged at him 'If he couldn't dodge an eraser then there's no way he'll dodge this' thought Naruto as he charged. Kakashi seeing this quickly grabbed Naruto's hand and spun him around into a postion where the kunai was pointig at his head.

"I didn't say go yet" said Kakashi cooly pushing Naruto away "Now then get set and GO!" shouted Kakashi making all the genin go into hiding, excpet for Mizu who just stayed there.

"Hmm... aren't you going to hide like your friends?" asked Kakashi a little smugly

"Kakashi-sensei let me clarify something for you, those idiots aren't my friends they are my teammates that is the only reason I'm here, but for this test they aren't going to pass" explined Mizu cooly with a hint of disapointment.

"Oh and what makes you say that?" asked Kakashi shocked at what she said "Simple they don't know how to listen to the message behind the message" said Mizu simply as she soon turned into water and dissappeared. 'Hmph she's interesting' thought Kakashi 'Not only that,but she replaced herself with a water clone and I didn't even see it'

While the conversation was going on Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were pissed off, right infront of them some clanless Ninja just said they didn't have what it took to be genin.

'I'll show her' thought Naruto as he jumped out of the bush he was hiding in and once again charging at Kakashi except this time he used his shadow clones. Dodging each of the attacks Kakashi pulled out his 'Icha Icha Paradise' and read it while dodging.

Dispatching all of the clones kakashi pulled up behind Naruto and shouted 'One thousand Years Of Pain" and plunged his index fingers into Naruto's but making him fly. Next up was Sakura who got caught easily in a genjutsu and fainted. The last was Sasuke who fared better then the others, but got pulled under by Kakashi who used a ninjutsu.

"Wow would you look at this the great Uchiha has been defeated" said Mizu sarcastically jumping out of the tree she was in and infront of Kakashi and Sasuke "Shut up you weakling" hissed Sasuke "You haven't even tried yet"

"Ofcourse I haven't you don't really have to get the bells to pass the test" explained Mizu "If you idiots weren't so stuck up you would've found out that this test isn't as hard as it seems"

With that last sentance Mizu quickly attacked Kakashi with a kunai in her hand "Sorry Kakashi-sensei, but I'm going to make sure that all my teammates pass" said Mizu slashing at Kakashi and forcing him back. 'What is this she's pushing me back but its as if she isn't having any trouble at all' thought Kakashi as he was forced to jump out of the way and into the clearing to dodge some shurikan.

"Mizu tell me are you going all out or are you still holding back?" asked Kakashi getting into a defensive posistion "I'm only using half of my power as of now Kakashi-sensei if you want to see my true power then stop holding back as well" answered Mizu gathering a ball of water into her hands "Mizu Supiku" Shouted Mizu as spikes made of water started shooting out of the ball of water in her hand.

Kakashi quickly jumped out of the way and blocked all the spiled he could, but still got hit by a few "Well it seems that I will have to take you seriously if you can alrady use chakra manipulation like that" said Kakashi impressed that someone at her age could already do something like that.

Pulling up his headband Kakashi revealed a single sharigan eye "Now then show we begin" said Kakashi in a fighting stance "I'd be delighted" answered Mizu as suddenly charged at him with her sword in hand 'Shadow wave' said Mizu swinging her sword and creating a dark wave of chakra heading straight to Kakashi.

Kakashi jumped up to avoid it only to have Mizu meet him in the air with her sword in hand. They clashed blades over and over again until Kakahi kicked Mizu away. "Eat this!" shouted Mizu doing handsigns and shouting "Suiton: Suishouha" Water came rushing out of Mizu's hands and toward 'Impossible that's the Nidaime Hokage's technique' thought Kakashi hit him and sent him into a tree.

"I hope your ready for this" said Mizu getting into a Hyuuga fighting stance and charging at Kakashi with chakra filled hands. While narrowly dodging them Kakashi didn't see Mizu quickly grab the bells, just in time to because the timer went off. When Kakashi and Mizu heard the bell their fight stopped and Kakashi pulled down his headband\ and went to collect his fallen team,

"Ha ha it seems like the great Copy-nin has finally been defeated!" came a shout from behind them, both Kakashi and Mizu turned around and saw Team 8 and Team Gai standing there with a grin on their faces. "What do you mean?" asked Kakashi while all of his genin were glaring at Mizu "You haven't noticed?" asked Kurenai pointing at his belt and causing him to look down and noticed that his bells were missing.

Kakashi looked up and saw Mizu holding onto the bells "Wait a minute so does that mean that she's the only one who can pass?" asked Sakura looking at Kakashi "Well it depends. Mizu I remember you said that you were going to make sure your teammates pass, but how are you going to do that?" "Like this" said Mizu as she cut the two bells in half and gave one to each of her teammates.

"What the heck is this!?" shouted Naruto and Sakura, while Sasuke just looked at his half like it was stupid "If you idiots haven't figured it out then you sure are stupid," said Neji with a sigh "Mizu wy don't you explain futher."

"Alrigh Naruto hold your half up to mine, Sasauke Sakura you do the same. Now then if you look closely you'll see that we all have a bell" explained Mizu tiredly "So we pass?" asked Sakura once again "No only Mizu passes" said Kakashi coldly while looking at each of his shocked students faces.

"What why does she get to pass!?" shouted Naruto pointing a Mizu "She didn't do anything special," Shouted Sakura "Sasuke-kun did much more then her!" "Why should some loser ninja without a clan pass and not me?" asked Sasuke with a hard glare.

Before Kakashi could say anything Hinata stepped in "Shut up all of you Mizu did more then her fair share of work and she still shared the credit with you!" shouted Hinata with her Byakugan blazing, Neji was also the same.

"Tell me something what did any of you do that wasn't the same as Mizu?" asked Neji coldly looking at Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. When None of them answered Neji continued "That's right she did the same things as you to get a bell"

"Actually I have a question for all of you. If either one of you had gotten both bells who would you have given the other too?" asked Kakashi looking at each of his students "Well?"

"I'd give the other to Sakura" said Naruto "I'd give the other to Sasuke" answered Sakura "No one" replied Sasuke "Why?" asked Kakashi "In each of you answers none of them contain Mizu or your other teammate" "Simple these guys are weak" answered Sasuke, while Naruto and Sakura remained silent.

"Alright then why don't we try this" said Kakashi as he suddenly grabbed Sasuke and held a kunai to his throat "Sakura kill Naruto or else Sasuke dies!" commanded Kakashi. "What!?" shouted Sakura while looking from Naruto to Sasuke not knowing what to do, but she suddenly heard Mizu's voice "Kakashi-sensei if you harm my teammate, I'll kill you" Everyone turned to see Mizu holding her spear againsts Kakashi's throat.

"You see, even though you bad mouthed her she still helped you all out" said Kakashi pushing Sasuke away "Tell me did any of you get a bell on you own?" "Well n-no, but what does that have to do with anything?" asked Sakura "For the love of... You mean to tell me you idiots still haven't figured it out! Tell me what would the point of putting us on a three to four man team be if we were just going to fight against eachother, do you think a genin could beat a jonin on their own, NO the answer is no the whole point of having teams was to work together that's what this whole exercise was for to see if we could overcome our differences and desires to work together for a common goal!" shouted Neji pissed off that some new academy graduates thought that someone he considered a sister had no right of being a ninja yet.

"This was a test of teamwork Sakura and none of you figured it out, only Mizu did and she was even kind enough to give you guys a clue 'The message behind the message' she said it clearly yet known of you paid attention" said Kakashi as calmly as he could "She might have insulted you, but she was making the test harder to see if you would be able to let go of what she said and help her, and yet none of you did."

"You guys are a team, got it Those who break the rules are trash, but those who abandon their teammates are worst thaen trash," Kakashi said grimly "Because Mizu was kind enough to give you guys a bell I won't let her hard work be in vain so I'll give you all another chance"

By now Team seven was looking at the ground in shame "So eat up when I return we'll have the test, but Naruto because you tried to steal a lunch you get tied to the poll" said Kakashi as he grabbed Naruto and tied him to the wooden poll and left with the other Jonin following him.

"Wow you guys sure are jerks!" exclaimed Tenten as she glared at Team seven "She is right you teammte worked hard and got the bells, but she didn't pick herself or some other person, she chose you all!" exclaimed Lee while moving towards Tenten and Neji more.

"Oh by the way Uchiha Mizu does have a clan she's part of the Hyuuga clan, no matter where she originally came from she's still a part of the Hyuuga" said Neji while moving next to Hinata. They all remained there only because Mizu stayed, but Kiba and Akamaru would glance up and glare at them occasionly.

"Here Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Neji, Lee, Tenten you can have some of my lunch" said Mizu as she pulled out a rather large bento box "Woah there's hella food here!" exclaimed Kiba as he saw all the meat, onigiri, sushi, fish, and dango there was "Huh well I had a feeling that Kakashi-sensei was going to be late so I brought food to make up for it" explained Mizu as she pulled out some chopsticks for everyone to share.

"Here Akamaru you can have some too" said Mizu picking up some meat and feeding him "Hoishi" said pretty much everyone.

"Ano... Mizu-san?" said Naruto causing everyone to look at him "Gomen I didn't mean what I said" Hearing this caused Mizu to smile "It's alright Naruto-kun I understand that you just want to acheive your dream, but remember you have people who care about you and want to help you so don't let your anger get the best of you, ne" replied Mizu smiling at him "Arigato Mizu-chan" answered Naruto smiling a small smile.

"I'm sorry too" said Sakura looking down at the ground "I shouldn't of said those things" "Hmph Sakura we're a team I'll always forgive you for your insults" said Mizu.

The only one left to apologize was Sasuke, but all he said was a small sorry that Mizu shook her head to because of his antics. Just then the silence was ended as they all heard Naruto's stomach growl. "Haha here Naruto have some of this" said Mizu holding up some rice "Yeah,but Kakashi-sensei..." "Look dope Kakashi-sensei is long gone, so just eat it" Sasuke said cutting Naruto off.

"He's right Naruto here you can have some of mine as well" said Sakura holding up some rice, but just when Sakra put the rice into his mouth the sky went from blue to black instantly and lightening filled the air, Kakashi appearing soon after.

"You fed Naruto when I said you couldn't, Why!?" shouted Kakashi "Because he's our teammate!" shouted Mizu, Sakura, and Sasuke "YOU ALL... pass" repled Kakashi smiling.

"W-What we pass?" asked Sakura shocked "Yep, you guy's helped your teammate even though you knew the consequences," replied Kakashi his visible eye forming into a U "Now then Kurenai do you think you could remove the kunai from my back...Please" begged Kakashi turning around to face Kurenai who really did have a kunai pressed against his back.

"Sure Kakashi, but a word of warning," said Kurenai with a dangerous smile "If you try to hurt MY daughter or if you even pretend I will come after you" and with that she removed the kunai from a very scared as hell Kakashi.
