Chapter 4: The Genin Survival Exam
It is early the next morning and Hurley gets up and exits his room and into the real world. He enters into the puppet changes into his human form, grabs the scroll and straps it to the waits, and then goes a shakes Hinata's shoulder whispering "Come on it's time to wake up"
Hinata slowly wakes up and sleepily asks "What time is it?"
"It's about 2:00 in the morning" Hurley replies
"Can't I get some more sleep?" Hinata asks
"You can get some later" Hurley replies "Right now we should probably get up and make some sort of boxed breakfast for the team"
"Why would we do that?" Hinata asks
"Since Kakashi has set the meeting time so early it is unlikely that anyone will have eaten breakfast" Hurley replies "and it would be unwise to go into whatever challenge Kakashi has set up for us hungry"
"Okay" Hinata says too tired to argue "Let's get started then"
Hurley and Hinata head off to the kitchen and start making boxed meals for the team. By the time they are finished it is about 3:30 in the morning.
"Go ahead and eat" Hurley says "Then we'll head out to the training area and I'll wait for Naruto and Sasuke while you get some more sleep"
"Ok" Hinata says and eats some breakfast and they both head out with the boxed meals
When Hurley and Hinata show up at the training grounds it is about a quarter till 5:00.
"Alright" Hurley says "You go ahead and get some sleep. If Kakashi shows up at the time I think he will you'll have plenty of time to get some sleep"
"Ok" Hinata says and then yawns and falls asleep against one of the logs at the training grounds
Right at 5:00 Naruto and Sasuke show up.
"What's going on? Where's Kakashi sensei?" Naruto asks yawning
"First of all" Hurley says "Hinata and I made breakfast for you two and second Kakashi isn't going to be showing up for a while so you might as well eat up and then get some sleep" and holds out the boxed meals
"Whatever" Sasuke says and takes the boxed meal from Hurley
"Ok" Naruto says and takes the boxed meal from Hurley
After Naruto and Sasuke finish eating their meal they go to the other logs on either side of Hinata and fall asleep
"Now" Hurley thinks "Time to wait for Kakashi to show up. Little does he know what I have planned for him" and grabs the scroll and opens it up taking out the duel disk and a deck of cards and puts the deck of cards in the duel disk and straps on the duel disk.
Many hours pass and at about 11:00 Hurley goes over and wakes up the three of them
"What time is it?" Naruto asks
"A little after 11:00" Hurley replies "Kakashi should be showing up real soon" and pulls out little communications devices from the scrolls and says "Take these, it will help us keep in contact with each other during the mission" and holds them out
"I don't need any help" Sasuke says "you people would just slow me down"
"I'm going to be the best ninja" Naruto says "If Sasuke can do it on his own so can I"
About 10 minutes later Kakashi shows up and says, "Good morning everyone. Ready for your first day"
"You're late" Naruto yells
"Well a black cat crossed my path and had to take the long way" Kakashi says
Naruto kind of growls and Kakashi says "Alright let's get started" and heads over to one of the upright logs while everyone looks at him.
Kakashi pushes a button on an alarm clock and says "Here we go it is set for noon"
Everyone except Hurley stares at Kakashi while he pulls out a pair of bells and says "Your assignment is simple. All you have to do is take these bells from me before the alarm goes off and if you can't you fail. You can use anything to get the bells from me. If you're not willing to kill me than you won't be able to get them from me"
"This'll be easy if you couldn't even dodge the eraser yesterday" Naruto says
"Class clowns are usually the weakest links" Kakashi says "You can safely ignore them. Lowest scores. Losers" and Naruto looks slightly annoyed at this statement
"When I say start you can begin" Kakashi says and Naruto suddenly looks mad and grabs a Kunai from his weapon pouch and charges at Kakashi.
Kakashi catches Naruto's hand and turns his arm around so that the kunai is pointed at the back of Naruto's head and says "Don't be in such a hurry. I didn't say start yet"
Naruto looks slightly annoyed at being caught and Hinata and Sasuke take a step back.
Hurley looks up and thinks "That speed of his was slightly impressive, but I know how to get around that"
"This really is a Jounin" Sasuke thinks
"But" Kakashi says "you came at me with the full intention of destroying me. So how can I say this? I'm starting to like you guys. Get ready and start" and Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata head off somewhere while Hurley just leans against a tree.
"Aren't you going to join them?" Kakashi asks
"You're forgetting a couple of things" Hurley says "I'm neither an official Konoha ninja nor an official part of this team so explain to me why I should join"
"Suit yourself" Kakashi says and after glancing back thinks "Ninja must know how to conceal their movements and hide effectively" then glances around and thinks "Well they understand that much, they've hidden well" and looks in front of him and Naruto is just standing there.
"You and me right now, fair and square. Let's go" Naruto yells
"Huh" Kakashi says tilting his head while Hurley draws a 5 cards from the deck placing 4 facedown and summoning Kuriboh in attack mode.
Watching nearby Sasuke thinks "You fool"
"You know compared to the others you're a little bit weird" Kakashi says
"Oh yeah" Naruto says "The only thing weird here is your haircut" and runs at Kakashi.
Kakashi reaches into his weapon pouch and Naruto suddenly stops watching to see what he does.
"Shinobi battle techniques part one: Taijutsu the physical part" Kakashi says and slowly starts to bring his hand out.
"Taijutsu is hand to hand combat" Naruto thinks "Then why is reaching for a weapon" and then Kakashi brings out a book and opens it up.
Naruto looks strangely at Kakashi and says "What the?"
"What are you waiting for? Make your move" Kakashi says
"But, I mean, Why are you reading that book?" Naruto asks
"Why" Kakashi says "To find out what happens in the story of course. Don't worry. With your weak attacks it doesn't matter if I'm reading or whatever"
Naruto gets really mad at this and runs at Kakashi yelling "I'm going to crush you" and swings a fist at Kakashi's shoulder and Kakashi blocks it. Next Naruto tries to kick Kakashi in the head and Kakashi ducks under it. Then Naruto says "Now you're mine" and punches at Kakashi who seems to disappear, and Kakashi does this all without looking up from his book.
Kakashi appears behind Naruto with something that looks like a hand sign and says "Don't let your enemy get behind you all the time"
"That hand sign is for a fire jutsu" Sasuke thinks "He's not playing around"
"Naruto look out" Hinata yells
"Too late" Kakashi says "Leaf Village secret finger jutsu" and pokes Naruto in the butt "A thousand years of death" and Naruto goes flying off and lands in the nearby river.
"He just poked him" Sasuke thinks and says quietly "Those two are idiots"
"Okay, where was I" Kakashi says and opens up the book again
Naruto swims under the water for a little bit thinking "I'm not going to let it end like this. I'm going to attack him from underwater" and pulls out a couple of shuriken and throws them at Kakashi. As they approach Kakashi he stick up the pointer and middle finger right into the shuriken center holes and leave them spinning on his fingers.
Naruto climbs out of the water and Kakashi says "What are you doing now? You know you won't pass unless you get the bells from me"
"I know" Naruto says "You told us already"
"You're look pretty weak for someone who is going to surpass the Hokage" Kakashi says
"You just caught me off guard that's all. Believe it" Naruto says. Off to the side still watching Hurley draws another card from the deck and summons a Celtic Guardian who stands waiting for orders.
Kakashi notices this and thinks "What is he up to?" and starts walking towards Hurley
Naruto continues talking "I will do anything I can to pass this test. I will not go back to the academy. I will become a ninja" and at that moment 6 clones of Naruto jump out of the water and one of them says "You're overconfident sensei. That why you weren't ready for a shadow clone attack, my best jutsu"
"And I thought one Naruto was bad enough" Sasuke thinks
All of the Naruto go running towards Kakashi who turns around to face them. "It looks like the stories are true" Kakashi thinks "He really can use shadow clones. It's a forbidden skill and he defeated Mizuki with it, with a little help that is" and glances at Hurley for a second then back at the Naruto clones.
"Great technique" Kakashi says "But I don't think you can keep it up for long" as the Naruto clones come rushing at him he says "You talk like you're the best, but you're still the worst student. You can't beat me with this jutsu" and at that moment a clone latches onto Kakashi from behind and Kakashi says "What? He got me from behind"
The Naruto clone laughs and says "Didn't you say never let your enemies get behind you. Great advice, believe it" the clones start latching on and Naruto says "I had one of my clones come out of the river and sneak up behind you super quiet" The real Naruto flies at Kakashi and says "Now this is for nailing me in the butt earlier" and prepares to punch Kakashi.
"A diversionary tactic nice" Sasuke thinks smiling
"You're mine and so are those bells" Naruto says and swings the punch at Kakashi but hits Naruto.
"Huh" Naruto says as Naruto falls to the ground and when he hits the ground Naruto says "It's you you're Kakashi sensei. You transformed into me using a jutsu" and all the Naruto punch each other arguing about which one is Kakashi in disguise.
After about a minute of punching each other one Naruto says "Let's just undo the jutsu"
"That's right" another one says "That will just leave the two of us so that we'll know who is who"
"Should of thought of that earlier you fool" a third one says
"Just undo the jutsu" Naruto says and all the clones disappear leaving one beat up Naruto standing there"
"Naruto you idiot" Sasuke thinks "He got you with the Substitution Jutsu, replacing himself with one of your clones"
Naruto looks over and sees a dropped bell by the tree and says "I must of got him with my attack, he dropped a bell" and starts running to it.
"Now is the time" Hurley thinks and activates one of his face-down cards.
Naruto bends down and grabs the bell and says "Yes I succeeded"
"What happened to the trap I set?" Kakashi thinks when he sees this
"Naruto get out of there quick" Hurley yells
"Huh" Naruto says and at that point Kakashi's trap activates pulling Naruto up into the tree, but luckily Naruto manages to hold onto the bell.
"Darn it" Hurley says and thinks "Luckily I prepared for this in case it did happen" and activates another face-down card switching Naruto with his Celtic Guardian and says "Celtic Guardian cut yourself down and run some interference for us please"
"Sure thing" Celtic Guardian says and cuts himself down with his sword and stands in the center of the field looking for Kakashi.
"What's going on?" Naruto asks
"No time to explain" Hurley says "Right now just listen to what I have to say. Create three clones with bells and hand one of the bells to me and then take the other two to Hinata and Sasuke. That is the secret to succeeding in this mission"
"Alright" Naruto says and does as Hurley asks making three clones and just as Naruto is about to hand off a bell to Hurley Kakashi comes running in saying "I won't let you succeed so easily"
"Quick Kuriboh block Kakashi" Hurley says and Kuriboh gets in Kakashi's way and when they make contact Kuriboh explodes making some cover for Naruto and Hurley and then Naruto hand off the bell to Hurley and sends his clones to find Hinata and Sasuke.
Celtic Guardian runs over to Hurley as soon as he heard the explosion and says "We may need some reinforcements"
"Right you are" Hurley says and draws another card and plays a Marauding Captain summoning a Command Knight to the field and says "Make sure you protect Naruto at any cost"
"Yes sir they reply" and head off to protect Naruto
As soon as they get to Naruto the smoke clears and Kakashi comes out and asks "What about what you said yesterday?"
"Sorry about that" Hurley says "I know I may have broken my word, but if I were to not help my teammates I wouldn't be able to stand myself. Anyways as you would say a ninja must see through deception and unfortunately for once you got fooled"
Kakashi smiles at this and says "Good job, but we're still not finished yet. I'm guessing if I take you out your creatures will disappear and leave the others helpless" and disappears suddenly
"It won't be that easy, Kakashi" Hurley says "I activate the trap card Shadow Spell" and turn to where Kakashi would probably appear and sees a tree stump trapped in chains and then actiates his last face-down card, the Spellbinding Circle.
"What's going on?" Kakashi asks "Why can't I move?"
"Hurley walks towards the voice and finds Kakashi and says "This trap is called the spellbinding circle. It renders an opponent motionless which means that we've defeated you and your little test. I can easily keep you trapped in that circle until the time runs out and since we've all manages to get a bell from you in a way we've passed the mission"
Naruto walks out with Hinata and Sasuke, Celtic Guardian, Marauding Captain, and Command Knight behind them, and at that time the alarm goes off.
"Now" Hurley says "I'll free you from the circle with my Mystical Space Typhoon" and a typhoon surrounds Kakashi and destroys the spellbinding circle.
"Well Kakashi sensei" Naruto says "We've beaten you" and Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata show their bells.
"I admit that as a team you have succeeded" Kakashi says "But even though you have passed you still require a lot of training. Had Hurley not been here things might not have gone so well, but for now you're dismissed. Team 7 starts missions tomorrow"
"Yes" Naruto says "I succeeded. I'm a ninja, ninja, ninja"
Hinata blushes and thinks "I'm so happy that we succeeded"
"Come on Hinata" Hurley says "Let's head home"
"Sure thing" Hinata says and then turns towards Naruto and says "Bye Naruto" and walks with Hurley
When Hinata and Hurley arrive at the Hyuuga Mansion the Third Hokage is there waiting for them.
"What are you doing here Sarutobi?" Hurley asks surprised
"I did say that I would be watching you" Third Hokage says "and from what I've seen today you've easily earned your right to be a leaf ninja, although being only a soul means that you're not quite human meaning that the best I could do is set you up as Hinata's partner"
"Sort of like Kiba and Akamaru?" Hurley asks
"I hate to compare you like that" Third Hokage says "But that is fairly accurate"
"That's alright" Hurley says "I understand how difficult it can be in this situation, bt no matter what I was going to be helping out anyways"
"Anyways" Third Hokage says "Here is your official leaf headband" and hand Hurley a headband.
"Thank you Sarutobi" Hurley says "but if it'd alright with you I would like to make some modifications and put the metal plate from the headband on a glove"
"Sure go ahead" Sarutobi says "I can understand being from a different world you would probably want to do something else"
"Okay" Hurley says "If there is nothing else I guess we'll be seeing you later then"
"Goodbye for now" Sarutobi says and walks off.
Hurley and Hinata head inside and Hinata asks "Why do not want to wear a headband?"
"It's not that I don't want to wear a headband" Hurley says "It's just that wearing a glove would be simpler in my case"
"Oh, Ok" Hinata says
