Chapter 6 Test,Network, Mission

Sakura was consumed by rage as she walked with her team mates to the training grounds, it was the day after team placement and Hitomi had ordered them to meet on training ground 23 today. Kimiko was talking animatedly with Izumi, despite the boy only answering few of her questions and even then it was with grunts. She tried to get Sakura to talk too but the Pinkette refused to speak with them.

"Oh come on guys!" Kimiko whined "We are a TEAM, how do expect team work if we don't talk to each other?"

"I believe you are right" Izumi said, saying the longest sentence out of his mouth since Kimiko begun talking.

They entered the training grounds with half an hour to spare before Hitomi appeared. Sakura walked away from them and sat next to a tree "I don't think we need to talk with anyone" she hissed, refusing to look at them.

"Why? Because you dear Sasuke-kun isn't here?" Kimiko asked, she had never been one to act lovey-dovey with boys "Get over it!"

Izumi placed a hand on Kimiko's shoulder "Be calm"

She shrugged off his hand before marching to another tree and planting herself at its base. He sighed as he stood between both trees; he looked at either girl before staring up at the sky, hoping it would swallow him up.

Hinata munched on an apple as she slowly made her way to the training ground. She was already half an hour late, Naruto said she should try and be an hour late but she simply couldn't stay at home that long and disobey orders. What if Naruto was wrong and Kakashi was there waiting for them? They would be in a lot of trouble.

She took another bite of the apple before jumping atop a building; she followed the route from building to building before she came to the training grounds. Neither Naruto nor Sasuke were there, apparently Sasuke had decided to follow Naruto and be extra late.

She sighed and spent a few seconds munching on the remains of her apple before deciding on practicing. She had a number of ways to train but she had been wanting to try out one for a while; it was difficult and she wanted to at least get it down before showing Naruto or Sasuke…that way she could teach them.

The remainder of the apple was placed on the ground, then she took a few steps back 'Control, complete control' she thought as she slipped into the Hyuuga stance, her hand beginning to glow a dull blue. Her eyes were focused solely on the apple and after a deep breath she swept her left hand to the side…nothing happened. She continued for what seemed like hours but was merely minutes with no results. Sweat dripped from her face as she kept heaving for breath.

She ceased for a few minutes, glaring at the small object…she would not disappoint Naruto and Sasuke, they were both stronger than her in more ways than one and she refused to sit back and watch them leave her behind.

She once more slipped into the stance, determination shining on her face 'I will not lose' instead of sweeping her hand like she had the last time she swept her left leg to the side….the apple rolled to the side and a grin tore across her face.

She swept a hand up and the apple flew up into the air; she frowned 'Too much'. When it started to come back down She swept her hand up when it was even close to the ground and watched as it didn't go as far as last time; she started to move her arms and legs in different patterns…it was as if she was in a dance. The apple was swept up, around, down and all over the place.

She stopped when exhaustion took over "I did it" she whispered, a blinding smile on her face "I did it Naruto" She dragged herself to the shade of a tree, stripping off her sweater to reveal a sweat soaked black blouse.

The smile was still on her face as she drifted off to sleep, her body curled in a fetal position under the shade…and this was how Sasuke found her when he arrived 5 minutes later, he was exactly an hour late.

He took a seat in the tree she was under, deciding to let her sleep. Naruto arrived half an hour after to take a seat next to her, following Sasuke's idea of not waking her.

Exactly one and a half hours later Kakashi arrived in a puff of smoke "Sorry I'm late I got lost on the road of life" he said, scratching the side of his head.

Sasuke scowled but said nothing and Naruto merely rolled his eyes. Kakashi saw the sleeping Hyuuga and rose a brow "Now why is the princess asleep?" he inquired

Naruto yawned before answering "Isn't it obvious? She's tired"

Sasuke nodded in agreement "She's been having morning practice with her father, so she doesn't get enough sleep"

Kakashi nodded "Well wake her up, I have something to say"

Sasuke hopped down while Naruto shook Hinata awake "Hinata, you have to get up" he whispered, shaking the exhausted girl. She rolled but eventually opened her eyes and accepted his help to get to her feet. Sasuke handed her the sweater and she pulled it on.

"Hello sleeping beauty" Kakashi said from his position, he had been watching the small interaction between the Genin; the three were obviously close…maybe they would pass the test…maybe, after all when threatened with going back to the academy their bond might break "Now I want your attention"

They stopped the small conversation they had been having "Today will be a test. A test that will see one of you three heading back to the academy"

Hinata gasped "W-What?" she asked in shock

Kakashi continued as if he hadn't heard her "It's called the bell test, something I made up to test just how qualified you are to be Genin" He saw Hinata's confusion "Surely you didn't think passing that easy academy test was a one way ticket to being a Genin" Sasuke's scowl spoke wonders to how he took the jibe at his intelligence "I have 2 bells" He showed them the tiny silver bells "Only two of you will pass, the persons with a bell after 4 hours will become Genin, the one without will fail and be sent back to the academy"

"You can't be serious!" Hinata shouted, surprising Kakashi and apparently herself as she brought her hands to cover her mouth "S-Sorry Sensei...but…you can't separate us…you just can't…"

Kakashi sighed "It's the rules; we can't have incompetent Genin"

Hinata flinched and Sasuke's scowl got darker.

Naruto calmly stepped forward "Can we just get this over with?"

"Why certainly Naruto…The test begins…now"

All three disappeared.

Hinata was hyperventilating, Naruto held her up and fanned her with his hand while Sasuke made small comforting circles on her back "I-I can't fail this…father will be so disappointed"

"We won't fail" Naruto told her "This is a test of teamwork Hinata, didn't you guys see it"

Sasuke and Hinata both shook their heads, prompting Naruto to answer "He wants us to be pitted against one another which will destroy our teamwork and make it easy to pick us off…being a team is all about teamwork and if our team isn't able to work together during a test then we won't be able to during the real thing"

Realization crawled onto Hinata's face "So even if I don't get a bell…I'll still pass if we show teamwork?"

Naruto nodded "Exactly"

Kakashi stifled a giggle as he reached a really good part in his Icha Icha series, he wished he had someone like Mia to do to him what she was doing to Hizumi. His head seemed to go deeper into the book as it got better.

He felt more than saw a kunai fly towards him…he stepped to the side…only for more to shoot towards him from different directions….so he substituted… but that was where everything went wrong.

His head snapped up when he felt over a hundred chakra signatures "You've got to be kidding me" he thought when he saw over a hundred clones of Naruto, Hinata and Sasuke. He had been told that Naruto could do clones…but was it possible for the other two to do it as well? Just making two shadow clones drastically depleted his chakra.

The blonde clones charged and he sighed as he went back to the book. The clones attacked and he simply weaved around them, using his free hand or legs to dispel them; he took out at least 10 more blonde's before the Hinata clones charged. He slashed a chest and to his utter shock found himself flying back, a few scratches on his face.

'An exploding shadow clone?' He asked himself in horror…how the hell did these kids know how to make exploding clones?! Those things were never used because of the sheer amount of chakra it took to make them; they could die from chakra exhaustion.

All the clones charged and Kakashi found himself dodging and using substitution most of them as they exploded. It was rather annoying, if he could use mid or high level jutsu this would have ended a long time ago.

The last 3 clones jumped at him and he flipped back; they promptly exploded and he almost let out a sigh of relief…only to have three more shoot through the remaining smoke…they were too close to dodge the incoming assault. He sent a kick at Hinata but she moved like liquid silver under it; Sasuke took the advantage to leap into the air for a drop kick while at the same time Naruto aimed a punch for Kakashi's side.

They probably would have landed if Kakashi wasn't at Anbu level in skills. He twisted and turned to avoid getting hit by any of them, then Kicked Hinata into a tree. When the Hyuuga didn't disappear or explode he realized that the ones before him weren't copies. He jumped lightly into the air and aimed a knee at Sasuke's head that sent the Uchiha flying across the field and rolling through the dirt, before his feet were fully on the ground he twisted in the air and sent a kick at Naruto…only for the boy to explode.

The blast knocked him into the air and he quickly righted himself so that he could land on both legs, He coughed up the smoke. He had substituted too late, leading to the right side of his clothes being scorched.

Cling Cling

His hands shot to his pants before his head turned in the direction of the noise. There he saw Naruto standing between Hinata and Sasuke, both of whom had a bell in their hands.

Kakashi's eyes furrowed, this was impossible, a bunch of Genins…regardless of Two being from prominent clans and one having the Kyuubi as an inmate…had just beat him and had absolutely no idea how they did it. He had dodged the last attack well to ensure no one got a bell, yet still tow out of three had one.

"We Pass Correct?" Naruto asked, a smug smile on his face

Hinata clapped her hands in joy "And with 2 hours to spare"

Kakashi sighed "Yes you all passed, your teamwork was impeccable" Hinata squealed and threw her arms around Naruto and Sasuke, causing both boys to smile lightly at her. Kakashi watched the exchange; they were just like his team when they were younger.

"I want to know how exactly I was beat" he said, garnering attention

"W-well sensei" Hinata started, reverting back to her shy self when she remembered she was in the presence of a superior; she was doing that finger thing again while trying to disappear in her sweater " I-It was Naruto's idea, he made all those clones and had some of them henge into us…then he made them attack, after fighting so much clones with half of them exploding you would be on the alert…"

Sasuke picked up "When the last three exploded you were surprised to find three more, when Hinata or I didn't explode you assumed Naruto wasn't a clone also, and you know the result of your error"

Kakashi nodded, so it was Naruto's idea, that blonde was definitely smart "That doesn't explain how you got the bells"

Hinata held up a palm, revealing a black seal "Naruto painted them in each of our palms, they act as magnets" She placed her bell in it then flashed her hand but it didn't fall off "We knew we couldn't beat you, we just wanted to get close enough to get the bells"

Kakashi blinked, he had to tell the Hokage about this…how was it that a Genin could create such a complicated seal. He knew the Namikaze's were seal masters, but for a child who wasn't even aware of his parentage to show such knowledge was unsettling.

He decided to get his mind away from the thought "Well its time for your reward and punishment" Hinata stared at him and he answered her unspoken question "Well the persons with a bell, get to eat the Bento that I brought, while the one without has to get tied up"

5 minutes later, Naruto was tied to a wooden post with Hinata and Sasuke on either side with delicious looking and smelling bento's. Kakashi was up in a tree reading his Icha Icha; he didn't have to look to know that they would share the food with Naruto.

"Say Ah Naruto"

The blonde did as told and Hinata gave him a roll of sushi. It was like her fantasy come true only this time Sasuke was also feeding the blonde…which was a bit unsettling…what if Sasuke turned out to be gay? She threw away the thought as it came, No way!

Hinata ran through the Hyuuga compound, trying to find her father who happened to not be in his study. She wanted to tell him how her battle had gone; he would have a proud smile on his face that he reserved only for her and Hanabi.

She turned a corner and had to quickly twirl to avoid a head on collision "I'm so sorry" she whispered, bowing slightly. She stood up straight and nearly tumbled over from the shock of seeing the hatred filled eyes of her cousin "N-Neji-nii-san"

"I heard you beat Hikari" He said coldly

She nodded, not wanting to speak lest she make an embarrassment of herself.

"Do not feel that your simple win against her makes you any less of a destined failure" he took a step towards her and she stepped back "We all know Hikari was never strong to begin with" He glared one last time before vanishing around the corner.

Hinata fell to her knees in relief. Neji hated her like the plague…but she didn't blame him, after all it was her incompetency that caused his fathers death. She would never forgive herself for that and that was why she trained hard everyday…to become strong enough so that her Uncles sacrifice would not be in vain.

With a sigh she stood and made her way to her room, she could tell her father the news at dinner.

Hiruzen looked up at Kakashi after reading his report "He created such a complicated seal in such a short span of time?" he asked

Kakashi nodded "It's actually a bit confusing, a seal that complicated would take a few days to create and even then not most people would put it to use…it was as if he knew what the test would be and prepared the seal before hand"

Hiruzen waved off Kakashi's statement "Nonsense Kakashi, how would he possibly know that?"

'You have no idea how right you are Kakashi'

"I suppose you're right. Goodbye Hokage-sama" Kakashi disappeared and Hiruzen almost let out a sigh of relief…he would have if Iruka wasn't currently standing by his side.

"Are you sure this is Skill Hokage-sama?" Iruka asked "Naruto has changed quite a bit, he is no longer brash, he thinks everything through before doing it…he probably knew they would have a test"

"Naruto is the sole heir to the Namikaze and Uzumaki clans, it is only natural that he can create a seal so quickly. Do not question me Iruka"

'I doubt he even put any effort into making it'

Naruto entered the underground catacomb clad in his Reaper get-up. He walked through the tunnels that were now lit by lighting he had attached to the walls; he reached the large area that he had dubbed 'The Heart' due to it being at the very centre of the catacomb and entered one of its many branching tunnels. He walked for a few minutes before coming to an intersection where he took a right and stopped at the first door he came to.

The door led to one of the largest rooms in the Catacomb, it was basically a library which had been a training room before Naruto had renovated it. Now it held shelves upon shelves, at least half of them were filled with the scrolls and Books Naruto had collected around Konoha while under a henge. The scrolls he had taken from the Hokage's mansion were on all on a single shelf by themselves.

He bit his finger and wiped it along the wooden floor "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" a puff of smoke later a figure clad in a black cloak appeared, they were about the height of Kakashi making it obvious it was an adult.

The figure fell to it knee's "Naruto-sama" its voice was deep, linking it to being a male

Naruto growled "What did I say about referring to me that way in this outfit Miko?"

"I apologize Shinigami-sama…to what do I owe the pleasure of being summoned?"

Naruto walked past Miko and took the couch that was at the centre of the library, there were three more and they all surrounded a small wooden table. Miko didn't move from his position and Naruto didn't make any gesture to him to do so.

"I want a report on the progress of my spy network"

Miko didn't move but still answered "Mira and Kikyo have already acquired 10 informants each, I am close to achieving that amount…but that only covers Konoha, Suna and Ame…we require more assistance"

"I see…well then, I'll only send out one more" Naruto wiped his already bloody finger against the table and recited the before Jutsu. There was another puff of smoke, only this time a fox appeared. It was a fully grown Female 3 tailed snow fox; her eyes were a deep red and on each of her legs was a metal bracer.

"To what do I owe the pleasure Shinigami-sama" the fox asked, her voice surprisingly serene

Naruto took out an ink an brush from one of the many seals on his body "You have been chosen to assist Miko, Kikyo and Mira develop my spy network" He started to paint a large seal on the foxes back "I do not want incompetent fools," He finished the seal in record time and made a single hand sign "Transform"

A completely nude white haired, red eyed woman appeared took the place of the fox on the table, a metal bracer on each of her appendages, her hair flowed over the table but did nothing to hide her body…though she didn't seem to mind "Wow" she said in excitement "So this is the Jutsu the fox in the otherworld are so excited about!"

Naruto didn't seem to care that a beautiful naked woman was in front him…after all in his eyes Hinata was the most beautiful woman in the world "This Jutsu only holds for 2 weeks, so it has to be renewed at that time…hopefully in two months it will no longer be required as I will have actual humans managing my networks"

The woman stood and bowed "I, Yuki of the Snow fox tribe will do my best to serve you Shinigami-sama" She went to Miko's side and after they both bowed they disappeared.

'Now aren't you happy you took the fox summons from me?' Kurama asked smugly

Naruto sighed 'Quite. If not I would not have been able to start my network until the Wave l mission'

'Just remember that you are being watched and we cannot have the network moving too fast, Jiraya might get suspicious and we do not want him on our back at the moment'

Naruto nodded 'Now I just have to torture Mizuki until he swears allegiance to me and then go home, I'm dead tired'

Naruto stood between Sasuke and Hinata as they watched Madame Shijimi choke Tora to death; he had gone through 2 weeks of endless D-rank missions without a bit of complaint because he knew the day would when he finally went to Whirlpool…and today was the day.

"Thank you so much for returning my Tora to me!" Shijimi smiled and flounced from the room. Hinata watched the cat go with sympathy; no doubt they would be looking for Tora again real soon.

The moment the Woman was gone Naruto stepped forward "Ne Jiji, I'm sick of D-rank missions, they're annoying. How does finding a flower or catching a cat help me in being a better Ninja?"

"You aren't ready for anything other than D-rank's Naruto" Iruka said from his spot next to Hiruzen "You are fresh out of the academy"

"We are ready…you especially know that I am" Iruka stiffened, remembering how Naruto blew Mizuki to bits

Hiruzen sighed, to think he thought he could have kept Team 7 inside Hokage walls for at least a month; he didn't want Hinata getting hurt and Naruto going on a rampage "Well how does your team feel about this decision Naruto? Did you consult with them? What if they object?" Hiruzen silently prayed that Hinata objected.

"I agree with Naruto" Sasuke said looking directly at Hiruzen "D-ranks are annoying" Hinata nodded in agreement and Hiruzen immediately knew he was beat.

"What about you Kakashi?"

Kakashi shrugged, not really paying attention to the conversation since his eyes were glued in his favourite book "I'm sure they can handle a C-rank mission"

Hiruzen sighed "Well then, I have a C-rank right here, to escort a bridge builder to The Land of Waves…it should satiate your appetite" Sasuke grinned and Hinata smiled happily, she would tell her father once she got back home.

"But Hokage-sama, they're fresh out of the academy! They can't handle this!" Iruka protested

Hiruzen ignored his words "Please send in the client"

Iruka grumbled but still left to get the client. Minutes later a drunk gruff looking man walked in, he had a bottle of sake in his hands and was looking around blearily "Don't tell me these fucking runts are the ones protecting me!" he growled before taking a large chug of his drink.

Naruto raised a brow "Such obscene language, if you don't want runts escorting then pay for a B-rank…unless of course you can't afford it…you can forgo the mission all together and escort yourself if you want"

All the Alcohol seemed to be drained from the man "N-No you'll do"

Everyone was a bit amazed by how easily Naruto put the drunken man in his place. Hiruzen cleared his throat "The mission starts today, you all must meet at the village gates in an hour with all necessities"

Kakashi walked up and took the scroll from Iruka before they all left.

Naruto grinned. Things were progressing swimmingly.
