A.N.: I do not own Naruto. Leave a review if you like the story, Dattebane! :D

Nana woke up the same time as Naruto since he was making too much noise around the house, tripping over his own clothes, stubbing his toe to the bed post.

"That's why I told you yesterday to prepare. And not to mention you should clean up your side of the room." Nana said with a drowsy voice while rubbing her eyes while yawning.

"I know, I know. I'm gonna be late, dattebayo." Naruto panicked.

"You still have 1 hour left before you leave." Nana remarked throwing her pillow at him. "Calm down, you'll do fine, after all you're gonna be the next hokage, dattebane." She added reassuring him with a big smile and made her way to the bathroom.

Dressing up in her standard outfit and brushing out her hair she looked at herself in the mirror once more before exiting the bathroom. The only thing added to her outfit was a pouch with kunai knives, shuriken, wires, explosive tags, and some smoke bombs. She secured the pouch on the back of her left hip.

Fully dressed up she went up to the fridge and opened it, taking out two bento boxes, tossing one to Naruto.

-x-

"Show them hell, dattebane!" Nana said high-fiving him.

"Okay! I'm going to pass!" He said all excited as he gave her thumbs up.

"Good luck Narut-nii." She said hugging him.

"You too Nana-chan!" He said in to her shoulder hugging her back.

They parted ways to the different training grounds after they wished each other good luck. Nana was the first one to arrive to the training ground where her team was supposed to meet. Having 1 hour left before they started she warmed up and threw her kunai a few times at different targets that were scattered throughout the training grounds.

Both Hibachi and Nobuo arrived together at the same time ten minutes before their meet up. Before Seitaro-sensei arrived they both reminded Nana to stay back and let them do their job. She sat down cross-legged and crossed her arms across her chest pouting a bit, while she watched both of them warming up sparring each other, observing their moves even though she knew they weren't serious at the moment.

Seitaro-sensei arrived and introduced them to the rules. Everything was allowed, they should be serious about killing him or they won't succeed at defeating him as a unit. As he said 'start' all three of his students leaped away from him as fast as possible, concealing their tracks and keeping their profile low. Nana was not that far from her two teammates, she was concealed in the bushes at the edge of the forest observing her terrain with her eyes again, and looking over her sensei. His posture wasn't even alert, he was crouched forward yawning in his hand. He probably didn't even take them seriously after all, the rank difference between them was obvious. A jonin vs. genin match was already a loss for the lesser ranked shinobi.

During her observing Nana heard whispering above her and she looked up to see Hibachi and Nobuo silently conversing and pointing at sensei, they will probably try and attack him soon. She didn't have to wait long as both Hibachi and Nobuo sprinted from their hiding spot both yelling and drawing out their kunai. They just gave away themselves before they even hit their target. Their sensei didn't even try to dodge their attack, all he did was block both Hibachi's and Nobuo's attacks with one swift punch to their elbows, making them drop their kunai knives in the progress. With no mercy he kicked them both away making them roll over the ground a few feet away from him where they finally stopped, Hibachi face first in dirt and Nobuo on his backside rubbing his head. The counterattack from their sensei did not stop them they attacked him again with a new set of kunai knives, now actually putting up a fight even though Sensei's posture still lacked the tension Nana was looking for, he still didn't take them seriously. He dodged jumping over the two of them, avoiding all their kunai strikes. Nana used this distraction and created a clone of her to mimic the movements. It seemed to work, their sensei was occupied now with the clone and the two boys still dodging their strikes. Nana worked her way around quietly and swiftly so she was behind her sensei's back, and she crouched down. She saw an opening and took it, she ran with a kunai in her left hand at their sensei and threw it at his back. She could see his posture stiffen before the kunai hit its mark and Nana cheered to herself, the word Dattebane leaving her mouth.

Her excitement soon drained away from her face when she saw him turn in to a log, a substitution technique is what he used. Before she could react Seitaro-sensei grabbed her from behind around both her arms and kicked her in her back sending her right on top of the two boys. His yawning didn't help her humiliation and she blushed as she picked herself up from the top of them.

"You'll go straight to the academy if you'll continue like that." He told them relaxing his posture again. Nana narrowed her eyes at him.

All three of them retreated from their spot back in to the shadows of the forest, leaving their sensei yawning in the middle of the opening.

"If we continue like this we won't achieve anything." Nana told both of them panting a bit.

"What did he mean when he said that if we continue like that we'll go back to the academy?" Nobuo asked as all three of them sat down, but Nana didn't let her eyes stray away from their target.

"Maybe we need to show that we know some techniques in ninjutsu? I can only do basic medical ninjustsu though." Nobuo said as he scratched his head as he tried to think of anything else.

"I know some water techniques, my clan specialized in them." Hibachi exclaimed and stood up.

"That's not it. There has to be something more. Maybe if we try and actually land a hit on him? But we have to do it together, there is no way for a single genin to take down a full-fledged jonin , but… if we do it together, three vs. one, we would have the advantage. It doesn't matter who lands the punch, what actually matters is to defeat him." Nana ranted more to herself as she observed Seitaro-sensei as he stood there unmoving.

"Try getting him with Nobuo towards the river. I'll attack him with my water style and we should get an opening. I'll signal you when I'm ready." He replied and made his way to the riverbank.

Nobuo and Nana looked at each other and went to wait for Hibachi's signal. Nobuo looked down at the river while Nana observed their sensei yawning in his palm.

She felt a nudge and looked up at Nobuo, her gaze following his finger to the riverbank where she saw small reflection flashes from Hibachi's kunai. That was the signal. Nodding at each other they started to move. Nana pulled three kunai knives and threw them with explosion tags at their sensei making him jump closer to the river. Using the fog to their advantage Nobuo threw his shurikens towards their sensei making him retreat even more. Nana created a clone, making it run out of the dust cloud created by the explosion. The clone simulated an attack and their sensei blocked it out of instinct. Nobuo came from behind him and tried to kick him, making Sentaro-sensei do a straight legged backflip over Nobuo.

'Almost there' Nana told herself as she transformed in to Hibachi so Sentaro-sensei wouldn't be suspicious.

"Nice try, but that won't be enough to beat me." Sentaro said as he dodged another attack.

The dodge was enough, Sentaro-sensei was standing near the river and Hibachi's hiding spot.

"Water release: Water bullet technique" Hibachi yelled as small water bullets came rushing at their sensei.

Nana and Nobuo dodged the attack before it hit and jumped to Hibachi's side, with their kunai drawn.

"You think we got him?" Nobuo asked.

"I don't know. Keep up your guard." Nana said as she took their right side. They were standing back to back waiting for their sensei to make his move. Unfortunately for them they were not prepared for his body flicker technique as he appeared behind their backs in their formations centre.

"Got you guys." He said and knocked them all behind their neck making them all fall to the ground unconscious.

Seitaro smiled to himself as he picked them all up and carried them to rest by the three wooden pillars. Sitting down in front of them he waited for them to wake up. He didn't have to wait for too long as they all started to grunt.

"Damn! We failed." Hibachi exclaimed his fingers curving together into a fist as he smashed them to the ground in frustration.

"At least we tried." Nobuo said looking down at his stretched out feet.

"So you guys already gave up?" Seitaro asked them as he crouched down in front of them.

"Even when we attack as three, we stand no chance." Nobuo countered him, his eyebrows creased together in anger.

"We did our best. We can train and try again next year." Nana added disappointed in their failure, both Hibachi and Nobuo nodded at this.

"Don't get all depressed…You pass." He said yawning at his hand, making all three of them look up at him in confusion letting out a set of huh's.

"You realized what is important. Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much." He made a small pause before he added one word.

"Teamwork" he said as he breathed out. "Congratulations." He said smiling at them ruffling their hair.

All three looked at each other before they broke out in a set of laughs.

They passed.
