Chapter Four: Kimi Minakawa's Test

Standard disclaimer that I don't own Naruto or its characters, I just own the OCs and the children of the Rookie Nine and Reagan Uchiha and Itachi's kids (since Reagan wasn't one of the Rookie Nine, she was the Rookie Nine's age but she was an ANBU)

—At 6 am, the Training Grounds the day after the next day which meant it was Thursday—

Shiori walked sleepily. She was still sleepy just a little bit, just enough to rub her eyes and yawn. The Hōzuki girl saw her teammates ahead, they were standing around waiting for their Sensei. They had to do their test on Thursday because on Wednesday Kakashi Hatake and his team had the training grounds so that he could preform his test. According to Shiori's mother-figure Reagan Uchiha, the three children of Kakashi's team passed his test the same way Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke had. That made Shiori curious as to what test Kimi was giving to her team. The sleepy Shiori finally reached her teammates and they were in silence.

"Good morning Akito. Good morning Kyo," she said to the two stoic males that were her teammates.

"Hn" said Akito.

"Mn" said Kyo.

Shiori was peeved, however was too tired to complain. "What do you think Kimi-sensei's test will be," Shiori asked her two teammates.

Akito looked off into the distance over Shiori's shoulder and saw their sensei walking towards them. "Who knows, Shiori. Be quiet now," he said coldly.

Shiori pouted at Akito's coldness. "I thought you agreed to be more social with us, Akito. That means you shouldn't be cold to me and Kyo. We're your teammates," she said annoyed.

"Doesn't mean that I should be in the mood to be social with you two all the time," Akito said again coldly.

Shiori glared at the Sasuke-look-alike again like she had a few days ago. "You don't have to be such an asshole. Why couldn't you have a bit of Sakura-senpai's personality in you? Then, maybe you wouldn't be so cold then!" She exclaimed.

Kyo looked over his shoulder. "Akito… I know you have some of your mother's personality in you. Quit trying to hide it from us," he said in a stern voice.

Akito looked at Kyo with a hardened stare. "Don't say anything as if you know my personality. I don't have any of my mother's personality in me in the slightest. I only have my father's personality which is the cold, distant and relatively silent personality," Akito babbled.

Kyo snickered, "You just proved my point that you are hiding your mother's part of your personality. If you were your father's personality 100% then you would've just given me a one worded answer and you nearly went on a full-out explanation."

Akito's eyes widen and he blushed barely noticeable. "…"

"Ah! So you do have some of Sakura-senpai's personality in you, you just refuse to show us it," Shiori said.

Akito sighed defeatedly, there was no point in hiding it any longer. "Fine… I must admit. I have my father's personality and vocabulary but I also have my mother's talkative personality so I have a friendlier side than what I show most of the time. I just wanted to be like my father, cold and distant but an amazing shinobi," Akito admitted.

Kyo and Shiori sighed and both placed a hand on each one of Akito's shoulders. "Akito, if you have ever seen your father battle before, he is not anti-social. He is commanding units of chunin as well as his fellow jonin to attack in elaborate formations and with him commanding the units and going to the battle himself as a member of the formations he deployed… most battles in which he participates in usually end up with your father winning," the two said in unison.

Akito looked at his teammates. "Are you both serious about that," he questioned his teammates.

Both of his teammates nodded. "We are telling you the truth Akito. Why would we lie to you, there would be no point in lying to our teammate who we must protect with our lives," Shiori and Kyo said in unison and reassured Akito that they were telling the truth.

Just as Akito opened his mouth to say something to his two teammates, Kimi reached them and said, "Good morning you three! Ready for your test?"

Shiori looked at Kimi then nodded vigorously. "Hai! I'm ready to pass this test and get the three of us on the road with a mission already! Let's get on with the test Kimi-sensei… what is the test," she asked.

Kimi smiled at the little Shiori. "The test is that the three of you must beat me in a fight… you three have until midnight to beat me. We will not leave these training grounds until midnight or until you three admit defeat. If you three don't defeat me… you fail and go back to the Academy," the jonin said seriously and with a glare to all three of the genin.

"WHAT! What kind of test is that Kimi-sensei," the three genin yelled in unison at their sensei.

"It will show me if you three are worthy of being genin. Use your heads and abilities… I am a tough adversary to overcome but it can be done. On your marks… get set… GO!" Kimi said then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Shiori grimaced. "Ugh! I hate her! I'm going to have to use Mind's Eye of the Kagura I inherited from Karin to find her. Hold on…" she said as she closed her eyes and used her inherited Mind's Eye of Kagura. "Aha! She's over there hiding in the trees," she informed her teammates low enough for them both to hear and pointed to their sensei's location.

Akito was the leader of the three as he was in front of Kyo and Shiori. "Alright you guys we can take down our sensei," he said as he signaled for Shiori and Kyo to split up as he served as a diversion, running right down the middle directing Kimi's attention towards him.

Sure enough, Kimi's attention was directed at Akito. She waited for Akito to come into her firing line then at just the right moment she threw a kunai at Akito's feet which caused him to change his course. "Nice try Kimi-sensei! However, I am an Uchiha," Akito said.

Kimi thought to herself where the other genin went off to. The only genin she saw was Akito and then suddenly Kyo came into her peripheral vision as he sharply came in from the west and threw two kunai at her. Shiori then came into her Kimi's peripheral vision from the east and threw two kunai at her. Next thing Kimi knew she was pinned to the tree of which she was hiding from her students in. "W-what the–? How in the world could you three have beaten me already?" Kimi asked hysterically.

Shiori snickered. "That'd be thanks to my Mind's Eye of the Kagura I inherited; Akito's maneuver and genjutsu that had you focus only on him, his chakra and his doings; Kyo's accuracy with pinning your sleeves to the tree and to my accuracy in pinning your pants to the tree. Ultimately, it was due to our teamwork that we beat you Kimi-sensei," she explained.

"Well… congratulations you three, you pass. The three of you are officially on Team Kimi. Now… do you mind unpinning me," Kimi said smiling and accepted her defeat. Usually she wouldn't have been beaten as fast as these genin had beaten her, she usually would have more tricks up her sleeve but she must have been caught in a genjutsu by Akito when she first looked him in his Sharingan eyes… WHOA! That's why she hadn't been able to sense Shiori and Kyo's chakra was because of Akito's Sharingan.

Shiori and Kyo unpinned their sensei from her spot on the tree and smiled at her. "That's what you get for doubting our abilities Kimi-sensei. We beat you and I can't wait to tell Mommy!" Shiori exclaimed.

Kimi smiled and patted Shiori on the head. "I'm sure Reagan-senpai will be very proud of you Shiori," she said to her student.

"I know she will. Daddy already told me that she is proud of me now matter what," the young Shiori said to her sensei.

Kimi giggled. "Your father sure does know how to keep you going doesn't he Shiori," she said as she ruffled Shiori's pretty hair.

Shiori smiled. "Yes, he does," she said.

Just then Shiori heard a familiar voice that yelled, "Akito-chan~! Saku-chin sent me to give you your lunch!"

"Hello there Reagan-senpai," Kimi said and appeared beside Reagan.

Reagan looked over at Kimi and smiled sweetly. "A-yo to you as well Kimi-chan. How's Mitsuki-chan doing? Have you heard from her lately or has she been too wrapped up with Kibi-chin," she asked the young jonin as she ruffled said jonin's hair.

Kimi looked up at Reagan since she was slightly shorter than her and said, "Big Sis is doing just fine according to the last time I talked to her. There's nothing wrong with her spending time with Kiba-senpai. Now quit ruffling my hair in front of my genin!"

Reagan laughed at Kimi. "Whatever Kimi-chan," she saw Shiori. "Shiori-chan~!" She exclaimed and hugged her self-proclaimed daughter.

Shiori, being squished against Reagan's chest, said trying to breath, "Hi Mommy Reagan."

After Reagan's little moment and she let Shiori go she walked over to Akito and knelt down so she was eye-level with him. "Here you are Akito-chan, your lunch," she said as she handed Akito his lunch.

Akito smiled. "Thank you Aunt Reagan," he said and took the lunch his mother had made him.

"No problem Akito-chan. So, Kimi-chan, did my nephew and self-proclaimed daughter and Kyo-san pass?" Reagan asked as she pulled her nephew towards her and Shiori towards her as well.

Kimi smiled at Reagan's question. "Of course they did. Little Akito over there used his sharingan so I couldn't sense any other chakras so Shiori and Kyo snuck up on me and they pinned me to a tree and therefore passed," she said.

Reagan pulled Shiori and Akito as well as Kyo into a hug. "I'm so proud of you three! Congratulations on becoming full-fledged genin," she said to the three.

Shiori hugged her mother figure. Akito also hugged his aunt. Kyo hugged Reagan back too. Reagan pulled away from the hug then got up and walked over to Kimi. "Good luck, Akito-chan can be quite the pain in the ass," and with that she bid everyone goodbye then left.

Kimi looked at Reagan before she disappeared. "Thanks for the warning Reagan-senpai…" She said to the wind.

Just as fast as Reagan had disappeared, she reappeared and asked Kimi, "Kimi-chan, I forgot to ask how Hana-chan is doing? Is she also a jonin-sensei or did she do something else?"

Kimi double-took the sudden reappearance of Reagan. With a sigh, she answered the ANBU member, "Hana is doing just fine. No, she isn't a jonin-sensei, she decided that she wanted to become an ANBU Black Ops member so she tried to make it and failed when she attempted for her first time about three years ago. After training for two years she attempted again and that time she made it into the ANBU Black Ops. Next time you go on a mission, look for Hana."

Reagan was so happy when she heard that one of the Minakawa twins had become an ANBU member. "OH MY! That's great for Hana-chan! However, she does know that being an ANBU means that she is willingly throwing her life into missions she may not come back from alive, right?" The veteran ANBU member asked Kimi.

Kimi looked at the ground before she replied sadly, "Yes. She does know that she is going to be throwing her life into those kind of nearly and sometimes suicidal ANBU missions but there was nothing that me, Kiba-senpai, Sai-senpai, Big Sis, Naruto-Nii, Mom or Dad could do to talk her out of once she made that her goal when she and I were genin."

"Well at least she has determination," Akito commented.

"Yeah… all ANBU member have to have determination Akito-chan. Else we'd die immediately upon going on the first ANBU mission we're assigned to," Reagan said seriously.

Shiori tugged on Reagan's arm childishly. "And what is your determination when in the midst of an ANBU mission Momma," she asked.

Reagan looked down at Shiori and smiled and said happily, "My determination is to come home alive so I can see my family and friends. Knowing that I have people back here at home that are hoping I come back alive alone gives me the determination to get the mission over ASAP… just so I can come back."

Kimi laughed, "But Reagan-senpai, you see everybody you know as part of your family."

"That's what friends are, Kimi-chan! Friends are an extension of your family, friends are your family that you aren't related to by blood," Reagan retorted childishly.

"You know, for a supposedly deadly ANBU Black Ops member, you are quite childish in nature," Kyo said bluntly to Reagan.

Reagan looked at Kyo with a smile on her face. "I may be childish when I'm not on a mission but I assure you that if you saw me on a mission…" she trailed off and glared at Kyo menacingly then continued. "You'd ask yourself 'who in the world is that, that is not the Reagan I know'. And I only unleash that me when on a mission, when someone questions my nature or when my children and/or my nieces and nephews are being threatened. Don't doubt my true nature when I'm off the battlefield understand me," she said darkly.

Kyo cringed in fear just a bit. "Y-y-yes m-m-ma'am," he stuttered frightened.

Kimi smacked Reagan across the back of the head and fussed, "Reagan-senpai! Don't you dare frighten my genin! Say you're sorry for frightening poor Kyo!"

Reagan laughed embarrassedly before she turned to Kyo and said sincerely, "I'm sorry Kyo-san. I didn't mean to scare you. Please forgive me, I meant you no harm. I would never hurt a fellow Konoha ninja."

Kyo lightened up a bit, the fear of Reagan quickly vanished. "It is all but alright Reagan-senpai. I should be apologizing to you for questioning your nature. I was just pointing out the obvious. So, please forgive me for doubting you," he said.

Reagan smiled at Kyo. "It's fine Kyo-san. No harm was done to either of us. I should really be going now. Bye Kimi-chan, Akito-chan, Shiori-chan and Kyo-san," she said as she waved goodbye to the team Kimi was in charge of.

"Hey Reagan-senpai! Since we're done with the test and they all passed maybe we could all go get Ramen from Ichiraku's," Kimi said.

Reagan looked over her shoulder at Kimi. "That sounds like fun Kimi-chan. I would love to, but me and Tachi-kun have a date today," she exclaimed happily.

"Oh. Well maybe you can get Itachi-senpai to come with us when we go to Ichiraku. I know a certain genin that would love for you to go with us." Kimi smiled at Reagan.

With a sigh and smile Reagan said, "Very well. I'll go home and tell Tachi-kunn that we're going out to Ichiraku. I'll see you all there kay." With that, Reagan had disappeared yet again to go get her husband.

Kimi smiled. "Let's all go to Ichiraku!"

"But my lunch," Akito said as he looked down at the lunch his mother had made him.

Kimi looked at Akito. "You can still eat it Akito. I'm not gonna force you to eat Ramen if you don't want to," she said to the boy.

"Then what would be the point of me going with you guys to Ichiraku's?"

Shiori laughed and said, "To see Mommy Reagan and Itachi-senpai."

Akito looked at Shiori. "You call Aunt Reagan 'Mommy Reagan' but you don't call Uncle Itachi 'Daddy Itachi'? What's up with that Shiori?" He asked his female teammate.

"I have a father Akito. I just really don't have a mother as my biological mother is always trying to destroy your father and mother's marriage just so she can have sex with Sasuke. Mommy Reagan has been there for me and gave me the love I never received from Karin. Daddy has always been there for me though. He tells me how much he loves me everyday and tells me not to worry about that slut of a biological mother of mine. That's why I don't call Itachi-senpai 'Daddy Itachi'," she explained.

"Oh ok. I was just curious as to why that was," Akito said.

"If Karin has always been after Sasuke, then why did she have a child with your father Suigetsu?" Kyo asked.

Shiori shrugged and said, "I don't know to be completely honest with you guys. Daddy said that she was drunk one night and came to him thinking he was Sasuke."

"Your father told you how you were conceived?!" Kimi exclaimed.

"Yeah. I asked him when I was little why it was that I was born to such a horrid woman yet a wonderful man when she was only obsessed with Sasuke. Daddy told me that one night Karin was very drunk and came to him thinking that he was Sasuke. Things between them got frisky and that lead to me being conceived. Karin was very pissed off when she was told she was pregnant with the child of my Daddy Suigetsu, but she was wise enough to refuse aborting me as she knew Mommy Reagan would've killed her should she have had aborted me because of the fact that Mommy Reagan is so close to Daddy. And to clear up any confusion, Mommy Reagan knew about Karin's pregnancy with me thanks to Daddy telling her that Karin was pregnant with me. Mommy Reagan kept a close eye on Karin until I was born, and she told me (when I was a bit older) that as soon as Karin was out of the hospital, she didn't care for me or Daddy. She went straight to the Uchiha district to stalk on poor Sasuke-senpai," Shiori told them her story of how bad a mother Karin is.

"Oh my Kami-sama! She is the worst possible woman to ever be a mother ever," Kimi said as she hugged Shiori. "I'm so sorry that Karin is like that!"

"It's fine. I just see her as some disease-ridden whore who needs to learn her place and get the shit beat out of her," Shiori said with maximum rage towards Karin.
