Chapter 4
Naruto is having a great breakfast made by Joy. It's been a week since the Ultra Gang's Alpha attacked the village and Rexy stop her.
"Today is the day, buddy." Naruto said to his partner who's eating from his dog bowl.
(Meanwhile)
Hurizen is reading an orange book. Things getting ruff since the white dinosaur attacked.
(Flashback; Day after Alpha's attack)
"What was those monsters?!"
"Where did they come from?!"
"We need to do something before any more comes!"
There's lot of yelling and shouting since the start of the meeting and went on for the while till...
"SILENCE!" Third Hokage yelled.
Soon after that, everyone quiet and look at their leader.
"That's better. Now then, damage report?" Hurizen asked.
Hinata's father and the Head of the Hyuga Clan; Hiashi stand up, "Most of the building got smashed along with the gate." Before sit back down.
Shikaku stand up, "I already had double the guards while the buildings and the gate are rebuild." Before sit back down as well.
"Perfect." Hurizen said.
But then, Hurizen's rival; Danzo Shimura stand up, "Hurizen, we need to find these Great Lizards. Imagine the power of those creatures."
"Where may I ask, will you find them?" Hurizen asked.
"Lord Hokage's right. We don't know where those creatures came from. They sudden show up out of no where and then after their battle, they've disappeared." Kiba's mum and the Head of the Inuzuka Clan; Tsume Inuzuka said.
"It's obviously some kind of Summoning Jutsu. We find that summoner, we'll find the Great Lizards." Danzo said.
"We don't know that." Hurizen said.
"I agree with Lord Hokage. There's no prove that those giant lizards are summoning animals." Shikaku said.
"Plus, the white one nearly eat my daughters." Hiashi said.
"I saw the red one wearing our Leaf headband. So, it must be from our ninjas." Danzo said.
"That doesn't mean it's on our side." Sakura's mother; Mebuki Haruno said.
"Master Jiraiya's toads doesn't have our headbands and they're on our side." Shikaku said.
"So is Lady Tsunade's Slugs." Tsume said.
(End of flashback)
After a long 'talking', Hurizen call off the meeting so they can focus on rebuilding. Then day after the meeting...
(Flashback; Day after the meeting)
The Third Hokage was doing the paperwork when there's a knock on the door, "Enter."
The door open and Dr Laura enter with few papers in her hand, "Sorry to bother you Lord Hokage, but I've competed the scan of the dino's tooth and it's some kind of hybrid."
"Hybrid?! Like two different animals breed together?" Hurizen asked.
"Something like that. But I bet it's wasn't bred, more like it was designed. An genetically engineered Dinosaur hybrid. Seth must have collect some DNA from the Dinosaurs when he was on the Space Pirates' ship." Dr Laura said.
"So, what's the DNA in that Dino?" Hurizen asked.
"Well, there's many DNA from Dinosaurs and modern animals to make body parts, shapes or size but the main ones are T-Rex and Velociraptor with the Komodo Dragon on the centre between them. That would explain it's aggressiveness." Dr Laura said before add, "I also manage to found what Seth calls it. Indominus Rex."
"Indominus Rex?" Hurizen asked.
"It might mean 'Untamable King'. I bet this is what Seth believe if the T-Rex had evolve." Dr Laura said.
"Well, Rexy nearly got beaten so there's no surprise." Hurizen said.
"Yeah. But if Seth create more hybrid dinosaurs... Well, this time, Naruto and Rexy got lucky. But next time, who knows." Dr Laura said.
"Then, what can we do?" Hurizen asked.
"Only thing we must do is find other five stones before the Ultra Gang does. With those, at least we'll have a fair advantage." Dr Laura said.
(End of flashback)
Third Hokage sigh before put the book on his desk before turn to look through the window, "The war of the Dinosaurs has begun. I hope Naruto and Rexy are ready for it."
Just then, there's the knock on the door and Hurizen quickly turn and hide his orange book, "Enter."
Soon, the goup of Jonin enter Hurizen's office.
(Meanwhile)
Naruto is in his former classroom with Rexy on his laps. Just then, Shikamaru arrive near Naruto.
"What are you and your strange dog doing here, Naruto? Only ones who passed comes here." Shikamaru said.
Naruto foxy grin while point at his headband, "I passed. See? See?" Then Naruto point at Rexy's, "And so did Rexy."
Shikamaru sigh, "Troublesome' Before put a smile, "You had me worry there."
Just then, the all room is shaking up for the while before...
"FIRST!"
Two girls enter the room with high speed. One light blond long ponytail and one pink hair.
"I was first, Ino." Pink hair girl said blond hair girl.
"What are you talking about, Sakura? I just a toe ahead." Ino said.
Just then, Iruka enter, "ALRIGHT! SETTLE DOWN!"
Soon, the flesh Genins seat in their seat.
"Now then, congratulation for passing. Now, I will announce the Three Man team." Iruka said.
'Three man team? They just slow me down.' Sasuke thought.
'They better put me with my hasband-to-be.' Sakura thought.
"I hope I'll be with Naruto.' Hinata thought.
"Now then, let's start. Team 1..." Iruka starting.
Few teams later...
"Team 7; Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno..."
"YES! TURE LOVE CONQUERS ALL!" Sakura said while Ino moan.
"And Shikamaru Nara."
"NOT THAT LAZY!" Sakura said.
"Team 8, Naruto Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuga and Choji Akimichi."
Naruto stroke Rexy's head.
'I'm with Naruto? YES!' Hinata thought.
Choji... is munching more crips.
"Team 9 is till on so, we'll be on Team 10; Kiba Inuzuka, Ino Yamanaka and Shino Aburame."
"Not the Mutt and Bug boy!" Ino said as Sakura laugh.
"Your Senseis will be here after lunch. Dismiss." Iruka said.
(Moments later)
Naruto and his former classmates are waiting for their Sensei. Just then, Asuma and Kurenai enters.
"Team 10, with me. Team 7, get comfortable as you might be here for sometimes." Asuma said.
"Team 8, with me." Kurenai said.
A while later, Team 8 arrive at the open field and Kurenai seat on the log with the team sit down in front of her.
"Alright, the first thing we need to do is introduce ourselves. Names, likes, dislikes, dreams for the future, stuff like that. I will go first. My name is Kurenai Yūhi, I like learning new Genjutsus and working in my garden, I dislike perverts and traitors. My dream is to the best Genjutsu user and a strong Kunoichi. You're next Naruto" Kurenai said.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki and this is my partner; Rexy. I like all type of ramen, Dr Laura, Joy and my friends. I dislike bullies, waiting for the ramen, someone who think they are better than others. My dream is to be greatest Hokage. Then everyone will treat me like somebody important. And also, my other dream is to save the animals from bad people." Naruto said.
'In other words; save the Dinosaurs from the Ultra Gang.' Kurenai thought before say, "Hinata, your turn."
"Right. My name is Hinata Hyuga. I like my s-sister, my cousin a-a-a-and..." Hinata stare at our blonde hero, "I dislike people who look down on someone and the Bird Cage Seal. My dream is to reunite my clan and... and..." Hinata try to finished while stare at Naruto with red face.
Kurenai smile at Hinata before turn to Choji, "Choji, you're up."
"My name is Choji Akimichi. I like my crisps and all kinds of food. I dislike someone taking my crisps or call me 'fat'. My hobby is to eat as many food as I can. My dream is to own my own restaurant and win in every eating contest." Choji said.
"Ok, that's out of the way. Tomorrow, we'll start your test." Kurenai said.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, we passed already." Choji asked.
"Sorry, but that test was only to weed out the weakest of the weak. All Jounin's who are assigned a squad must administer an additional test to see who can make the cut." Kurenai said.
"W-what kind of t-test?" Hinata asked.
"You'll find out tomorrow. Come to Training Ground 16 at 8:00, and be prepared to work hard if you want to keep those headbands," Kurenai said before she disappear with a poof of smoke.
"Right. See you guys tomorrow." Naruto said before he and Rexy went off with others went as well.
(The next day)
Naruto with Rexy, Hinata and Choji arrive at Training Ground 16 where Kurenai is waiting.
"Good, you have arrive on time." Kurenai said as she set an alarm clock on the stump, "This clock is set at noon." Then she hold up two bells, "Your test is to these bells from me. If you couldn't get any bells at noon, you'll go without lunch. You will be tie to those trees over there..." Kurenai said as she point at three large and wide trees, "And watch will I eat your lunch in front of you."
"But there're two bells and only three of us." Hinata said.
"Good eye, Hinata. That's means that ony two will past while the third one will send back to the Academy." Kurenai said, scaring the flesh Genins.
"Now, I want you to come at me with the intent to kill." Kurenai said.
The Genins snap out of their fear and went different ways. Hinata hides in the tree at North while Choji is hiding in the brush at South. As for Naruto...
He's charging at his Sensei with Rexy by his side. Naruto try to land a punch which Kurenai simply block it. Naruto then try to slide kick on Kurenai's ankles but Kurenai flip over and land a hard kick to Naruto's chest, send him flying few feet away.
Kurenai then step aside to dodge Rexy's bite, grab his tail and swing around for the while before release him towards Naruto. Naruto got up only to be hit by flying dino, sending them to the brushes.
"Man. Getting the bells from Kurenai Sensei is not as easy as I thought, buddy." Naruto said.
Rexy growl.
"Let's think about this. Now then, Kurenai is a Jonin and Genjutsu Mistress and older than me... WAIT! Laura told me..." Naruto said.
(Flashback)
Naruto is sitting on the chair in front of the whiteboard where Dr Laura show him about Dinosaurs, "Now, some predators hunt alone like T-Rex or Spinosaurus, But others like Velociraptors or Allosaurus hunt in pack."
"Why do they hunt in pack?" Naruto asked.
"Cause of what they hunt on like Allosaurus on Apatosaurus which is 21m long and a bit taller than Allosaurus or Velociraptors on Saurolophus which is a lot bigger than Raptors." Dr Laura said.
"That sound hard and dangerous for small Raptor." Naruto said.
"Alone, yes. But working together in the pack, they able to bring down huge Dinosaur. Team works is most important to some dinosaurs." Dr Laura said.
(End of flashback)
"That's it! We're meant to work together!" Naruto said before he got up, "Come on, Rexy. We need to find Hinata and Choji."
(Meanwhile)
Hinata and Choji run through the forest.
'I hop Naruto is alright.' Hinata thought.
Suddenly, Hinata trip on something.
"Hinata, you're OK?" Choji asked as he stop to check on hi8s team mate.
"I'm alright. Just tripped on something." Hinata said as she look at what she tripped; a strange looking stone.
Hinata pick up the stone, "I never seem stones like this before and it had what seems to be grass symbol."
Choji see something shine from the burrow and went to check it out. He reach through the burrow, grab it and pull it out. It's another stone.
"I found other stone too. And it look like it has mountain or something." Choji said.
Suddenly, the stones starts glowing with Hinata went green while Choji went purple for the moment before the glow faint.
"W-what was that?!" Hinata asked in surprise.
"Your guesses is as good as mine." Choji said before add, "We better get out of here. With those glows, Kurenai Sensei will be able to find us."
Hinata nodded as she and Choji put the stones in their pocket before went away.
Suddenly, Kurenai appear in front of them, "Going someway?"
Then... a girly scream was heard through the forest.
"That was Choji! I remember hearing that when you and Akamaru stole and ate his meat lunch, Rexy. It's coming from that way, buddy." Naruto said as he and Rexy run towards where the scream come from.
Meanwhile, Kurenai made few hand signs before disappear as leaves blow around Hinata and Choji.
Hinata blink her eyes few times before look around, seeing Choji is not with her.
"Choji?" Hinata asked.
Then Hinata heard something behind her before she turn around to see Naruto running from Alpha.
"Naruto!" Hinata said.
Then Alpha grab and EAT Naruto!
"NAAAARRRRRUUUUTOOOOOOOO!" Hinata yelled in shock before fainting.
But she's in Genjutsu along with Choji as Kurenai from the branch of the tree.
"Maybe I should be more careful on Hinata when it comes to Naruto. But she has to learn eventually." Kurenai said before went off.
Just then, Naruto and Rexy arrive and check on their team mates.
"Genjutsu. I haven't learn how to dispell Genjutsu! So, What are we going to do?" Naruto asked as he try to remember the Genjutsu lesson.
Suddenly, Rexy grab one of Hinata's hair strands and pull hard while chew, causing Hinata to snap out of Genjutsu.
"OW! Rexy, let go my hair!" Hinata said as she pull her strand back.
Rexy let go before went towards Choji and bite on Choji's leg hard.
"YEOW! Hey, what's a big idea?!" Choji asked after he snap out of Genjutsu as well.
"Nice one, Rexy." Naruto said before he turn to his team mates, "I figure it out. we mean to working together."
"Really?! You're sure?" Choji asked.
"While looking for you, I've been thanking about why we were put together in the Three Men team if one of us get send back to the Academy?" Naruto asked.
Hinata and Choji thought about it for the moment before their eyes widen.
"You're right! We're not meant to get the bells..." Choji started.
"We're meant to work together as a team." Hinata finished.
"Right! So... Any ideas?" Naruto asked.
(A while later)
Kurenai is standing in the clear field, checking her watch, "Two hours left."
Suddenly, Naruto and his clones arrive out of no where and charge towards his Sensei.
"Really?" Kurenai asked as she dodge and block Narutos' attack, "You need to do better than that."
Suddenly, Kurenai sense something and jump away to dodge Hinata's Gentle Fist.
"Nice try." Kurenai said before a giant pair of hands grab her, "What?!"
"Gotcha!" Choji said.
Just then, a jingling sound was heard and everyone turn to see Rexy with the bells in his mouth.
"Well, you got the bells. But which one will have them?" Kurenai asked as Choji release her before his arms return to normal size.
"No one. We've figured what this test is all about." Naruto said.
"It's not about the bells." Choji said.
"It's about our team work." Hinata said.
Rexy nodded, causing the bells is jingle even more.
Kurenai stare hard on Team 8 for the few moments before she smile, "Well done. You're correct. This is all about your team work. And you're pass. Congratulate."
"Alright!" Naruto said while hugging Hinata, causing her to blush.
Kurenai smile at that display before she remember something, "By the way Choji and Hinata, what was that glow before I found you?"
"Well... It happened when we found these strange stones." Hinata said as she and Choji hold out their Stones.
Kurenai and Naruto was surprise and shock before Naruto push the button on his Dino Bracer, "Laura, you'll not beileve what happen during the test..."
(Meanwhile)
In the Hidden Cloud Village, an 26 years old woman with blue eyes and straight, shoulder-length blonde hair cut in an asymmetrical bob style, wearing a very low-cut outfit which displays her large cleavage, with mesh armour underneath, a short skirt and red hand guards, high boots, what appears to be a modified Kumogakure flak jacket that covers her stomach only, similar to a girdle and also carries a tanto strapped horizontally to her lower back, was walking through the hallway while looking at the paperworks, not feeling happy.
"Un cool, Un cool, UN COOL! These were suppose to be 'strong' ninjas? They couldn't last one minute outside of the village." Woman said before she bust through the door, "Ay, you failed. Not only did you fail to get the cool Byakugan, you fail to give us strong ninjas. We'll be know as the 'laughing stock' because of you. You... un cool IDIOT!"
Gotting up from is seat, is a large muscular build, blond hair combed back, a small moustache and goatee man wearing a white haori without a shirt underneath and occasionally the traditional Raikage hat. His name is Ay; the Fourth Railkage.
"I beg your pardon. What did you call me?" Ay asked.
"You heard me. You are idiot and un cool Raikage. And I am taking over." Woman said before she pull out her tanto and went on fighting stand, "I Samui, hereby challenge you to battle, Ay. The winner shall rule the village and the loser shall be terminate."
Suddenly, Fourth Raikage disappear and reappear behind Samui, "Samui, you're brave. Fool, but brave."
"Do you accept my challenge?" Samui asked as she turn to see him.
Ay laugh, "My dear, there's more to be Raikage than simple courage. There's strength and smartness to go with it." Then Railkage turn aroud, "Don't you agree..." Before move away, revealing a fairly tall, dark-skinned man with a slightly bulbous nose, black eyes that usually look bored, and shaggy, white hair which covers his left eye and wears a high-collared, sleeveless uniform with loose fitting pants, bandages on his wrists and the one-strap-over-one-shoulder flak jacket of a Kumogakure shinobi, who just created a halo of bright energy spreads around his hands, "Darui?"
Samui's eyes widen as the energy encircles Darui's hand and from that, the beam are shot out towards her, sending her fly through the windows and far away from the village.
"Loser." Ay said with a chuckle.
(And done. Now that Hinata and Choji found the Grass and Earth stone, all they need are the matching dinosaurs. What dinosaurs will that be? I know but not telling. Anyway, that's three Stones down and Three Stones plus Centre Stone to go. Will Naruto and his friends find them before they fall to the wrong hands? Stay tune to find out. Till then, see you all soon!)
