Kurenai tells them all to sit down on benches and she begins her introduction "Well my name is Kurenai Yūhi I like learning new Genjutsu's and my friends I dislike perverts and tardiness be lucky your not on the same team as Kakashi Hatake you'd be waiting around for him for hours I guess my goals are to become the best Kunoichi hopefully to have mastered as many Genjutsu's as I can and eventually start a family OK I'll start with you the one who looks like he's about to fall asleep."

Shikamaru groans "Troublesome fine my name is Shikamaru Nara I like watching clouds and my friends I guess I dislike loud people and people who disturb my cloud watching time my goals are to become a competent ninja and have a quiet life marry and ordinary women that's about it and saying that was troublesome."

Naruto smirks Never changes.

Ino sighs Man he's so annoying can't he take anything seriously.

Kurenai raises an eyebrow I forgot how lazy the Nara were I'll have to figure something out with his sharp mind he could be a master tactician. "OK moving on how about you in the middle."

Ino smiles "Hi Kurenai-Sensei my name is Ino Yamanaka I like flowers and my friends and Naruto-Kun she blushes as she thinks that I dislike Forehead and my goals are to make my family proud and become a great Kunoichi And to end up with Naruto-Kun She blushes again.

Shikamaru heard what was said but paid no attention to it. Naruto heard it also and saw the blushes when she mentioned her likes and goals but wasn't sure why she blushed.

Kurenai is thinking She seems like a nice sweet girl I've heard she's a bit loud she dislikes forehead not sure what that's about her goals are commendable her blushes means she obviously likes someone and the fact she keeps glancing at her teammate I'm taking it she likes him as long as she also works on her career I have no problems with little crushes. "OK and lastly you on the left."

Naruto smiles "My name is Naruto Uzumaki I like training my friends and pranks I like Ramen also and I like cooking and learning new Jutsu's and becoming the strongest Ninja in Konoha, My dislikes are arrogant people who think there better than everyone else. People who let their fears guide them my goal is to be awesome well I already am so that's already accomplished I want to be the Hokage also to show everyone how awesome I am and maybe settle down later on other than that not sure really."

Kurenai smiles Well Naruto sure is an interesting kid with some good likes minus the pranks I've heard of some of his so-called Pranks like the ANBU although Yūgao did find it mildly funny. He cooks as well that is commendable for someone his age. His dislikes I'm taking is the villagers his goals though really are surprising to become the Hokage and to be awesome he really is a funny boy this should be an interesting team if they pass the test of course.

She smiles "Well this was an interesting introduction and I will enjoy teaching you all maybe I can taste some of your cooking some time Naruto to see just how good you are of course."

Naruto nods "I can do that."

Ino grins "He's cooked for the Hokage so it must be good it also means you will have to cook for me Naruto I am your teammate now."

Naruto smiles "But you've tasted my food before Ino-Chan but OK"

Kurenai is shocked He must be good if he's cooked for the Hokage "OK team now that introductions are out of the way it's time to talk about your test."

Ino is shocked "What test Kurenai-Sensei."

She smiles "Why your Genin test of course."

Naruto and Ino look at each other confused and even Shikamaru is confused "Kurenai-Sensei we all passed our Genin test."

Kurenai nods "In a way yes that was to see if you could become a Genin my test will show you should remain, Genin, there is a 75% fail rating and the people who fail return to the academy OK team so meet me at the village gates tomorrow at 7 am and from there we will do the test."

Naruto, Ino, and Shikamaru all nod and Kurenai vanish via Shunshin. Shikamaru nods "Guess I'll see you guys tomorrow man this is troublesome."

Naruto smirks "What isn't troublesome for you."

Shikamaru smirks and walks off. Naruto looks around and Ino smiles at him "Naruto do you want to get something to eat."

Naruto smiles "Sure why not where do you want to go Ino-Chan."

She shrugs "It doesn't matter."

Naruto nods "Then let's go."

The next day Team 10 is waiting at the gate for their Sensei to show up Ino is remembering yesterday after they ate Naruto ended up staying with Ino they went for a walk she took him to her favorite place in Konohagakure it was a field with flowers in she showed him all the different types of flower. Later on, he took her to his favorite spot which was the Hokage Monument she was amazed and could see everything and during nighttime it was great.

She's woken from her thoughts be Naruto who informs her there Sensei's here she blushes in embarrassment. Kurenai saw it and smiled They could make a cute couple. "OK team follow me."

They all follow her after a short walk she stops OK the test is this Ino set up camp here what I want you to do is guard this camp I will attack you and you have to keep this camp safe until noon" She turns to Naruto and Shikamaru "You two will also have camps and I will randomly attack each camp this is a survival mission I wish you luck remember this could happen so it's best to prepare now."

Ino nods "Hai Kurenai-Sensei."

Naruto and Shikamaru look at each other thinking it's kind of weird Shikamaru follows Kurenai Naruto turns back to Ino "Good luck Ino."

She smiles "You to Naruto-Kun."

He smiles and the runs off Ino watches them go and sighs "Well this sucks I wanted to stay with Naruto-Kun oh well I better get setting up traps."

A short while later Shikamaru is at his camp he fist bumps with Naruto before he follows Kurenai-Sensei Shikamaru watches them go and then starts thinking "OK for starters this just seems wrong I get that this could happen but wouldn't it be best to stay as a team one person guarding a camp is hard enough." He smirks "Well unless your Naruto and his clone army still it's going to be hard enough if I'm thinking this I bet Ino's pulling her hair out from nerves." Might as well set some traps up though."

Kurenai drops Naruto off she nods before using Shunshin She watches from a tree for a moment "I think I'll start with Ino." She disappears again. Naruto watches her go and grins "Big mistake Sensei he does some handsigns Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu (Multiple Shadow Clone Technique) Naruto grins "Let's get to work guys let's make a fortress no way is she getting in." Over 300 clones grin and then get to work setting up traps.

Meanwhile, Kurenai reaches Ino she watches her "OK she's set up some traps but only if I attack from the north that's not wise but I'll test out her any way she jumps down and immediately goes on the attack she is surprised when she lands and miss times her step and almost get's hit by Kunai Kurenai sighs OK so I was wrong still let's see how she does.

Kurenai engages Ino in a Taijutsu battle, Kurenai is not the best but Ino's not exactly hard to beat Kurenai sighs She needs to improve. She throws a smoke pellet and disappears via Shunshin. Ino watches her go "Well that was weird she could have beaten me why did she run man I hate this."

Meanwhile, Shikamaru has set up his camp but the more he thinks the more he knows the test seems wrong "Wait a minute this is all wrong separate camps I understand but we are a team so I think we should guard one base, man this is troublesome I'll go and find Naruto."

Whilst Shikamaru's making his way to Naruto, Naruto has set up traps a ridiculous amount of them he's also built pits trip wires Kunai launchers, places Explosive Tags on every tree in a 100 metres in each direction some are not exploding tags well they are but they will explode and you will get covered in paint. Some also release knockout gas, Poisons that will parallelize you all in all attacking here is just crazy.

Kurenai arrives at Shikamaru's camp and is confused "If he's asleep I'll kill him." She looks around for a few minutes dodging a few exploding tags but she isn't attacked she is confused "Could he have figured out the real mission he is the smartest of the three."

Naruto's clones have also set up a camp fire and are cooking breakfast. Naruto is by the fire stirring the beans when he's approached by a clone "Boss Shikamaru's coming."

Naruto nods "Bring him here use Shunshin." The Clone nods.

Shikamaru's walking when Naruto appears in front of him "Hold on."

Shikamaru's is shocked when Naruto grabs his and Shunshin's away. They reappear next to Naruto the clone then walks off. Shikamaru smirks "Is there a reason you did that."

Naruto nods "Yep you wouldn't want to walk into my trap zone or as I'm calling it The Thrill zone."

Naruto explains what he's done and Shikamaru smirks "Damn Naruto you don't do things by halves do you."

Naruto smirks "Now where is the fun in that man I can't wait for Kurenai-Sensei to attack want some breakfast."

Shikamaru nods "Sure so I was thinking that splitting us up was a test we should have joined up like we have and guard the base together."

Naruto nods "Makes sense we should bring Ino here then" Shikamaru nods Naruto whistles and a clone comes over "Go and find Ino and bring her here." The clone nods and Shunshin's away whilst Naruto and Shikamaru eats.

Ino's in her base and she just kicks some stones "Man this is so boring."

The clone finds her "Ino-Chan."

Ino looks up "Naruto-Kun what are you doing here what about your base."

The clone smiles "I'm a clone Naruto ordered me to bring you to his camp Shikamaru's there also they both came to the conclusion that it was more a teamwork exercise then solo work."

Ino smiles "Well then let's go Naruto-Clone-Kun."

The clone chuckles and takes Ino and she wraps her arms around him and he Shunshin's away. A few minutes later they arrive in the camp Shikamaru grins "Hey Ino you can let go now."

Ino blushes and the clone dispels. Ino runs over "Hey guys have you been attacked yet she attacked me she could have won but she left."

Naruto grins "She will probably have second thoughts about attacking this place."

Ino smirks "Why."

Shikamaru tells her what Naruto's done and she giggles "This should be fun are you cooking Naruto-Kun."

Naruto nods "Yes come on I saved some for you."

Ino runs over and takes a seat next to Naruto and he hands her a plate and she immediately starts eating.

There eating when they hear a yell "DAMMIT NARUTO AND YOUR PRANKS."

Naruto, Ino, and Shikamaru look at each other and grin. Naruto smirks "Let the fun begin."
