Sasuke, Naruto, and Hinata were breathing heavily, almost out of breath. Thanks to Hinata, they were able to avoid jumping out of the training ground while staying away from their deranged Sensei. Naruto shivered from the tell tale feeling of snake bites on his skin, though he couldn't figure how. Sasuke was more surprised by the fact that not only was he still traveling with the two on his team, but was saved by the dobe of all people. Hinata was watching the ground, making sure no snakes were going to sneak up on her for another Genjutsu.

"We can't just keep running away..." Naruto breathed quietly to the two, Hinata didn't answer.

Sasuke only scoffed "Dobe, what can you do? She's going easy and we're getting murdered. I'm the only one who's even got a shot." Naruto reared back to say something but something hit him on the head. He looked up to see a Ninja in Anbu gear, looking down at them. His Hair was a silver color that defied gravity,and his mask was half on, covering his left eye. The rest of his face was in a mask except for his right eye, which looked down at them. He raised a hand, and before they could move, Their Purple Haired Sensei was next to the Anbu.

"Nice work Scarecrow, time to work!" The three new ninja jumped Up, Naruto and Hinata getting met in the air by Anko, while Sasuke was knocked into a tree by the Anbu. Sasuke's used a fire jutsu on him, but he disappeared, With no one helping him, there was no escaping the follow up round house from his blind sight, and Sasuke realized this.

"Damnit! if it's like this, Itachi will do the same thing, and it'll be even worse." He used another fire jutsu as a diversion as he moved toward the others.

Naruto and Hinata weren't fairing any better. Hinata wasn't even able to enjoy being next to Naruto, as the woman's fierce taijutsu was pushing them both back. Naruto didn't even have the chance to use his Shadow clones as he noted she was even faster then before. He grit his teeth and went for a spun kick, only for Anko to duck and kick Hinata away at the same time. Naruto went for a hook only to find she had disappeared.

"Blame Kakashi for this one..." Anko's hands went into the tiger seal as she knelt behind the orange clad ninja. Even as Hinata cried out, Naruto didn't stand a chance. "Konoha sacred technique, ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF DEATH!" Naruto went flying to another part of the woods, just as Sasuke came into view to try to help him. The Anbu seemed to be sitting where he fought Sasuke, counting. Hinata got into her Gentle Fist taijutsu stance as Anko turned to her. "Don't worry, I won't poke ya in the butt, it's time for round two pale girl..."

As Naruto went flying he hooked a tree with his hand, spinning off balance into the air. He lande awkwardly as Sasuke landed next to him.

"Damn, we're getting murdered here. How are we gonna survive for another hour?"

"You'll have to figure that out." The silver haired Anbu punched Naruto in the stomach, but that left him open for Sasuke's jump kick. He blocked it with his free hand, and tried to toss Naruto, but Naruto held on tight. The Scarecrow grined and spun around, tossing them both to either side of him. Naruto fell into the brush, and two shuriken fell out immediately afterwards. The Anbu caught them with two fingers and threw them at Sasuke. Sasuke ducked and charged, just as five Naruto's came from the other side. The white haired Anbu got ready, only for a sixth Naruto to catch him from behind, pinning him down.

"Let's get you back for catching us..." Before he could finish Hinata came flying from where she and Anko was fight. By the time he focused back on Kakshi it was Sauske in his hands, and Hinata hit them both. The shadow clones all gapped but were quickly eliminated by both Jounin. The three Gennin were on the ground, aching, but a thunderstorm was quite literally brewing, as Anko and her partner came into view.

"Alright, Gakis..." She's lifted up her hand, several glowing eyes up her sleeve. "Game over...you...!" The snakes shot out, fangs open. Just before they reached the three, a loud bell rang, everything stopping. The three gennin opened their eyes, to see a snake hovering above them. Anko was still poised, and seemed to be mulling over something, before finally giving them a shit eating grin. "A little rough on the edges, but ya got guts. Eh, why not, passed." the snakes disappeared back up her sleeve as the three of them realized what she said. The Anbu covered his face with a mask once more before disappearing.

"Yes, I did it, I did it! I'm a ninja! A real ninja!" Hinata smiled shyly at her crush's outburst, while Sasuke gave a smirk of his own. Anko's face turned serious. "Do you know the secondary reason for this exercise was?" They gave her blank looks, though Hinata and Sasuke looked thoughtful. "It was to test your ability to work as a team." Understanding dawned, but so did a few more question. "It was set up,. so you'd naturally attempt to fight against each other, to be the surviver of the test, and go it alone. You did that at first. Naruto, you tried to take me on all by yourself, whether it's to prove something or not, you shouldn't rush in foolishly, I could've killed you the moment I saw you.

"Hinata...actually nothing too wrong with you. You fought well, and realized the genjutsu around you. Though, you might have been able to see through it faster if your attention wasn't...diverted." Hinata blushed beet red to this.

"Sasuke, you realized this, at least I think. Just like Naruto, you can't do everything alone. Unlike Naruto though, you didn't do it to prove yourself, but because you thought you were already better then those two, and didn't need anyone else's help. I hope you realized your mistake right?" A solemn nod and scowl came from the last Uchiha. Anko's turned to all three of them. "Don't abandon your team. Teamwork in this day and age is the difference between coming back successful, or not coming back at all. Lone wolves more then likely die alone, and those who don't take care of their teammates, their comrades...their friends...they are traitors...they are trash."

Everything was silent as what Anko said sunk in. Team seven all had theeir own thoughts and inner responses, but after a moment their sensei put back on her shit eating grin. "Well now, that's it for today, get those lunches. Eat, sleep, hell get drunk and get laid. You're ninja now, we begin official missions tomorrow morning!" With that and a 'chao' Anko disappeared in a swirl of leaves. The adventures of Team 7 were about to begin.

Author's note: I needed some of the story content just because 1) You can't go far without some of that life changing stuff. and 2) You gotta admit, pokin Naruto in the bum is hella fun.

Now, I need opinions: Should they go to the land of waves? Either or, after that they will have an original C rank mission, and an original B to A rank. also, what should I do if I do go on the Wave mission, should I have Haku and Zabuza dead? Alive? Haku's Gender? other pairings ideas please!?
