"Ok first I'll explain the test, it's simple only two of you will pass it" said Asuma surprising them again "All you have to do is hit me in the chest, the first two of you to do it will pass, the remaining one will go back to the academy, does everyone understand?" asked Asuma

All of them understood the test, but Shikamaru had seen the real purpose of this test, Naruto got a mission:

New mission

Complete the Genin test

Reward: 1000 XP

Genin rank

Failure: return to the academy student rank

"Ok everyone ready?" asked Asuma and everyone said yes

"Ok then, let's start the test!" said Asuma, all three Genin jumped away and hid in the woods nearby, that was a good way to start, interrupting the field of vision on your target, that way you can attack from the shadows without being seen, a basic strategy but it was never a useless strategy

Asuma wondered if they would find the real meaning of the test, it was impossible for them to defeat him one on one, or two on one but if they all worked as a team they might get an opening and then all three of them would pass, if they didn't find the secret meaning all three of them would fail


In the woods, all three of the students where in the same area, Shikamaru was the first one to speak

"Ok, you two better hear because repeating myself is troublesome, the real meaning of this test is to see if we can work as a team, we have to work together to defeat Asuma Sensei, he will not hold back if we go one on one" said Shikamaru

"I knew you were smart Shikamaru, but how did you figure this test in so little time?" asked Naruto

"It's simple, it's the only thing that was not tested at the academy, teamwork" said Shikamaru

"T-then how do we do t-this?" asked Hinata

"Even if we work together, we cannot just go head on and try to win by luck, we need a plan" said Shikamaru

"I got a plan, we just need to immobilize him" said Naruto and then he explained his plan to his teammates.


Asuma was getting bored, it has been almost twenty minutes and no one had attack him, he was still standing where he started the test

"Just so you all know, you have until 3PM to finish the test!" said Asuma loudly, so that everyone could hear him

"We won't need all that time Sensei" said Naruto walking out of the woods, giving away his position

"Are you just going to attack me head on? Alone?" asked Asuma

"Yeah why not, I could do that, but that's not my plan" said Naruto

Asuma was confused if Naruto wasn't here to attack him head on, what was he doing giving away his positions like that?

"OK then what's your plan?" asked Asuma

"Oh you nothing just passing this test" said Naruto

Ok then, what would Naruto do? Thought Asuma, he prepared for an attack in any second

Asuma then jumped up avoiding a surprise attack from behind when he felt down on the ground again, he noticed that the attack was from Hinata, maybe Naruto was just the distraction? Wait a minute. Where's Naruto?

He then avoided to the side to evade an attack from Naruto that came from above, then he had to keep evading since some Naruto clones started to appear and launch fist and kicks in his direction ones he could finally get a good footing again, he dispelled all the clones quickly

But he couldn't stay on the offensive, he was then assaulted by group attack from Hinata and Naruto making him walk backwards while covering his chest

Naruto was sloppy in his movement leaving many openings, but Asuma couldn't make use of the openings because Hinata attacked every time there was one, she had a more refined fighting style, after all she was a Hyuuga, but that didn't mean her style was perfect for a Hyuuga, she was slow and many of her hits were not strong enough, because she didn't wanted to hurt him

After a little while an opening appeared on the attacks from both of them, he used it to grab Naruto by the arm and throw him away, then he prepared to do the same to Hinata, but he couldn't move

"Shadow Possession complete" said Shikamaru, appearing from the woods as well, Asuma noticed the long Shadow going from where Shikamaru was standing, to his shadow, the basic Nara clan jutsu, he could break it if he wanted to, because this one wasn't as strong as others, but he finally understood the plan his students had crafted

Naruto and Hinata distracted him in the fight, he had been too concentrated on finding an opening, that last one was intentional, he had stopped to grab Naruto, which left enough time for the shadow to grab him, if Shikamaru had tried it earlier he would have noticed the Shadow coming his way and avoided it.

"We did it, Now Hinata, cut his chakra flow" said Naruto

"S-sorry Sensei, it's just precaution" said Hinata starting to close some tenketsus on Asuma's legs and arms, he could have counter all this by now, but they had earn this victory, and he would let them have it

After Hinata finish all three of them got close and punched Asuma on the chest lightly at the same time, "Well it seems you all pass" said Asuma

"Hurray! We are Genin now" said Naruto grabbing Shikamaru and Hinata in a hug, the girl was red a tomato, and almost fainted

"Troublesome" was all Shikamaru said

"C-congratulations, N-Naruto, Shikamaru" said Hinata

"Well then, now Hinata could you reopen my tenketsus?" asked Asuma

"S-sorry Sensei I forgot" said Hinata and she got to work

After Hinata finished, Asuma stood up and said "Ok then, we are now team Asuma, and we will do our first mission tomorrow, so meet me tomorrow at the mission assignment center, at 8AM so that we can start" said Asuma

"Ok Sensei" said Naruto

Everyone then headed back home, to inform their parents that they had passed or in Naruto's case to celebrate with an earn bowl of ramen

On his way home he got a pop up:

Mission Complete

Complete the Genin test

Reward: 1000 XP

Genin rank

He was finally a Genin

Then he got another pop up:

Because of the Genin rank the next systems are now open for you:

The party System

The Bingo book System

Naruto decided to check that later, right now he wanted Ramen

Videogame corner: today's game

Metroid prime series (GameCube, Wii, Wii U)

I don't really like first person shooters, but the Metroid prime series is different, the focus is not on fighting, it is on exploring and solving some puzzle, and the boss fights are great
