Iruka had to stop and looked at his sheet again. Blinking, he thought about why would the hokage use this jonin. Looking up he continued, "Team ten's sensei is Morino Ibiki." Naruto made a hissing noise. Iruka snorted "Of course Naruto would figure out what type of team it is from the instructor." he thought. "You have an hour till your instructors come to pick you up. I suggest you use that time to get to know your team. You are dismissed."
Naruto, Hinata and Ino made their way to a quaint little restaurant they had found two month's ago that accepted Naruto called Lunar Harmony. They sat down and Hinata turned a concerned eye to Naruto and asked, "Naruto-chan why did you hiss when we were told who our instructor was?"
Naruto sighed, "The reason why is because Sarutobi-ojisan is looking to recreate an old concept that hasn't been used since the last team failed and was captured. It was the first three female team. Their purpose was capture, interrogation and assassination. They were rescued but it was to late. They had to have their minds wiped by one of Ino's family and start over as civilians. None of their old friends or comrades were aloud near the women in case their memory might return. They ended the project team as a failure. I'm guessing because of my situation he is willing to try again and to make sure it does not fail he is putting Ibiki as jonin to train us."
"Naruto-chan, who is Morino Ibiki, he has you nervous and that is not normal for you." stated Ino. For the past three months that Ino got to know Naruto he has never been nervous about a person. Something that made Naruto nervous was something to be cautious about. Naruto looked at Ino with a curious expression.
"I'm surprised your father never talked about the man to you Ino since they work in the same department. Morino Ibiki, head of torture and interrogation in ANBU. My guess is that with him and my special circumstances the CIA team would work this time." Replied Naruto. Both the other two girls shuttered when they heard what happened to the last team. After that they started discussing other things to keep from getting to depressed about what they were going to be doing before they heading back to class.
All the students were waiting around and talking as Iruka walked back into class. "Alright class as I was saying as I was saying your sensei's will be here soon. Till then sit quietly and wait." As soon as he finished talking the door opened and a man with many scars on his face walked in. Looking around he growled out.
"Team ten with me." All the students went wide-eyed to learn this bear of a man was team ten's sensei. Naruto, Hinata, and Ino got up and slowly followed the man out the door as he turned around when they came down the stairs.
Following the man who was there sensei to what they finally saw was ANBU only training ground. Looking at their sensei in confusion he turned and gave them a once over. Nodding to himself. "Yes this is an ANBU only training ground. Yes this is where you will be training. No you can not ask questions. Everything will be explained to you. My name in Morino Ibiki. I am the head of ANBU Interrogation. If you pass my test you will be trained extensively to be a capture interrogation and assassination squad. The Sandaime has felt that with you three the project will succeed where the last team did not. Now let's get introductions out of the way. Whiskers drop the henge, Sandaime's orders. Since we are on you, then you can start."
As Naruto's hands came together he let out a sigh. "KAI" In a puff of smoke Naruto was gone. In his place stood a girl about four foot four. She had red hair and violet eyes. Three whisker marks on each cheek. She had a pale complexion that only Hinata was paler and her figure was almost the exact same as hers. Neither could tell who was bigger just by looking at them. The girl glared at Ibiki before she spoke.
"I'll only be doing this while we are in this training area. I will not stop using the henge while we are in town till kaa-san can take care of me or I'm strong enough like Anko. Now then my name is Namikaze-Uzumaki Asuka. My likes are my friends training with said friends and spending time with Hinata-chan. My dislikes are bigoted people, people who hurt my friends and family and perverts..."
"Hypocrite" was muttered right next to Asuka who turned to glare at the innocent looking Hinata. After a small war of the eyes Asuka turns pouting while blushing causing Ino to giggle. Asuka's glare quickly turns onto Ino who stops when she looked at Asuka. With a sniff Asuka continued.
"As I was saying before I was interrupted" another glare at the innocent face on Hinata. "My goal is to live without the hatred that surrounds me now. I have all the recognition I need from those I love. I just want to be left alone with those I care about. Treated like a normal person." she sighed wistfully. Hinata reached over and took her hand then kissed her cheek.
` "Alright hime your next." Ibiki continued with a creepy smile only to get growled at by Hinata. "who says I was talking to you. I know for a fact that you train your ass off and don't like to be called that. So don't get your panties in a twist." All three girls glare at Ibiki who puts his arms up in a placating manner at the feminine rage. He then turned to Ino who flinched a little. "Well maybe we can make something of you yet. Your next." said a smirking Ibiki.
"My name is Yamanaka Ino. I like flowers and taking care of them. I dislike those who underestimate me and I'm still trying to figure out what my dream is for the future since my old one would have left me alone and probably defenseless."
"Alright better then what I had figured it would be. At least I don't have to beat the fan-girl out of you. Your next Hyuuga." continued Ibiki while Ino flinched again.
"Hinata Hyuuga is my name. I like flower pressing and gardening. I love Asuka-kun. I also dislike people who think little about me because of my caring attitude. My goal is none of your business since I've almost completed it." Hinata finished staring at Asuka who blew a kiss to her.
Alright be here tomorrow at eleven. Typically there would be a test on teamwork but since it is known that you work together has improved over the past few months and this is to be an extremely specialized team we will be doing something different. I will see you tomorrow." Ibiki immediately vanished in a puff of smoke. The girls looked at each other nodded and then headed home to get ready for the next day.
The girls were waiting patiently for Ibiki at training ground twenty-four. Ten minutes after they got there Ibiki showed up. Looking at the girls he nodded that they were there early. "Alright maggots, as you know this is not a test of teamwork but of skill. This team is a capture, interrogation and assassination squad. So as your test you will need to capture certain people, interrogate them and then destroy your target. The target will not be a person yet. So you will not be killing anytime soon. At least not till I think you can handle it. Each capture and interrogation must be different. You will report what you find out to the hokage after each interrogation and scored on it. Are you ready for what your mission target is." To which he received a nod from the girls. "Your objective is to find out what team sevens sensei's favorite thing is and destroy it. The hokage feels that it has become to much of a crutch for the man. Yes, Asuka, I know you know what it is but you must not act on what you know and can not tell the others till after you find out from his students. Everyone have their mission memorized... good... Now begin." with that the girls disappeared. Ibiki waited a few minutes then sighed. "What is it, Asuka"
"Can we capture two at the same time if it is possible, but we use two different interrogation methods to get the same result?" The young girl asked as she appeared next to Ibiki. Ibiki though for a few more minutes then nodded his head.
"I'll allow it now get out of here." With a grin the girl was gone. Ibiki shuttered at what the people on the receiving end of that grin would get.
Kakashi was waiting for his last student to attack while reading from his little orange book. His test was coming to a close and figured Shino would be attacking him soon. To his disappointment the last boy of his team did not show in time for the bell to ring. He quickly headed out to get his wayward students. The first being Kiba who he knocked out with a simple genjutsu. The next being Sasuke who he dug out of the ground. Once he got those two back to the starting point he tide both two the post and went off looking for the final member of the team. After a few minutes search he stretched out his senses to feel for the boys chakra.
"It looks like the Sandaime's team has made it's first move. Good that means he can now start his plans with the Uchiha. Still I do feel sorry that the other two will have to wait till they get a replacement team member." thought Kakashi as he headed back to the training posts.
"Well looks like you don't have to worry about returning back to the academy." exclaimed the mask jonin. A smirk appears on Sasuke's face, Kiba let's out a shout of joy while his companion gives a bark of happiness. Kakashi quickly releases the two from the bindings with a kunai and rains on their parade. "You will be dropped from the program." he finishes with a smile. Sasuke's smirk turns into a scowl and Kiba's mouth just dropped. Looking at the two Kakashi just sighs. "Neither of you figured out the meaning behind the test. In our positions one must always look for the meaning behind anything that goes on. Looking underneath the underneath if you will." Kakashi looked at the two boys and when they did not answer he sighed again as he saw no recognition in their eyes. "Teamwork!"
"Wha, but you said only two would pass. You purposely set us up to fail." Kiba screamed at Kakashi.
"You are suppose to figure it out on your own and one of you decide to make a sacrifice for the team. I'm not going to be there all the time to hold your hand." pointed out Kakashi dispassionately. "Besides why should you pass when you still have not noticed that one of you teammates is missing yet."
"What are you talking abou... wait where is Shino?" Kiba asked as he noticed Shino was not with them.
Near the end of the test Shino was abducted by three unknown shinobi. His location is unknown." Stated Kakashi.
"We got to find him!" yelled a frantic Kiba only to stop as Sasuke snorted.
"It's obvious that he should not have been a shinobi to begin with if he was captured so easily."
"With that attitude is why this team will fail in the field. Now if …." at this Kakashi pulled a kunai as he heard the sound of bushes being moved. After a few seconds Shino stumbled out of the overgrowth. Stumble more he made his way to his team when he noticed them. Kiba ran over as soon as he saw Shino stumble and put his arm around his shoulder.
"You alright man?" he asked only to look up at the sound of fighting near his other team mate. Both watch as Sasuke had his ass handed to him on a silver plater by Hinata, Ino, and Naruto. After what was the shortest fight the two boys had seen with Sasuke involved the four disappeared in a flash of smoke.
"Well, that was..." Kakashi paused "Interesting. Shino please explain what happened after you were taken." ordered Kakashi. At this Shino started to shake which got a questioning look from Kiba. Slowly Shino started.
"When I woke up the girls started their interrogation. They were trying to find out what Kakashi-sensei enjoys the most. I refused but they told me they would do anything to get the information from me. I called the bluff like I saw it since we are all Konoha shinobi." Shino started to shake and sweat. "T-t-the conversation they had after I called it." Shino all but whispered the next part. "I-i learned things. Things that no boy should know at this age. That was not the worst part of it. No the worst part is that Naruto was able to join in the conversation without flinching or being tormented by what they were talking about." Kiba was feeling sorry for his teammate but then got scared at hearing about Naruto not being affected by the conversation. Kakashi also felt a brief stab of sympathy to the young man in front of him but continued on after Shino finished his story.
"Well all things aside. I'm sorry to say that you two will be sidelined until we find a new teammate for you. Before you say anything. This team would have been forced to pass even if I said no because of the fact that both the civilians and the elder council would have pushed Hokage-sama's buttons till they got their way. They have been doing this for years since the Sandaime came out of retirement after the Kyuubi attack. Because of this the last Uchiha is a spoiled brat who thinks the sun shines out of his ass. So this team would have only focused on him and let you two flounder. So under the cover of team tens graduation exercise we will finally get Sasuke a true evaluation on weather he should be in the shinobi program or not. If not he will have his chakra sealed off and be put into the hospital for the mental help that he should have been given a long time ago. Maybe with time he will be aloud back but that could be years. Now I will still be working with you for team training so I am giving you a week off. Please report back here next week. If you need help on anything you can find me here most times. Otherwise see you two in a week."
"Hai sensei" Kiba and Shino responded and left.
