A/N: Hey there! I've just thought of something...this fic, with the three arcs I've got planned, will probably run a lil' long. But it's all in good fun. Anyways, this is where the action starts. Bold is a flashback. 3...2...1...GO!
Episode 3: Final Test
"How could you be in love with our teacher!?" Anko shrieked. She was yelling at Shikari at the moment, angry that she was smitten with their teacher.
"Well at least I actually show human emotions, you robot!" Shikari retorted.
The Uchiha parents were in the living area, enjoying a pleasant conversation with each other over the yelling. They were used to it by now. Both girls were control freaks, so this unfortunately caused problems.
"I wish you never became a Genin!"
"I wish you were never born!"
Stomping in the kitchen could be heard from the living room, which was right down the hallway. Then there was a slam of the front door and footsteps going upstairs. It was just a normal night in the Uchiha household.
But where was Renku in all this? He was sitting on the roof; it's what he'd always done when his two sisters fought. He liked to relax, and with so much noise, that was hard. So on the roof, looking up at the tranquil night sky, it was easy. They were so troublesome. Besides, they'd be fine by the morning anyway.
Renku was interrupted from his reverie by Ken snapping in his face. He still was not used to having such a young teacher.
"Okay...Are you guys ready for a surprise?" Ken asked, getting only the triplets looking at each other as a response. "You guys aren't officially Genins yet!"
Renku, Anko, and Shikari all stared at each other in shock as Ken's laughter rang throughout town. The triplets didn't think this was funny, however. Anko looked ready to fight him.
"Whoa Whoa. I said "yet"!" Ken said, putting his hands up defensively. "To officially become Genins, I have to give you a test. And I've got just the thing."
Ken reached into his pocket, fishing around for a bit. Anko pulled out a kunai, as if ready for anything. She looked back at her siblings commandingly, and those two pulled theirs out too. And then, Ken pulled it out. An egg.
"You have to crack this egg, using any means possible. Are you ready?"
"What!? Oh come on, this is a joke!" Renku commented.
"No," Shikari stated. "There's a catch."
"That's right." Ken said. "You have to crack it while it's in my hands."
Ken looked at them, making sure they were ready. Anko was now fingering the hilt of the short sword slung over her back. Shikari and Renku just stood there. They had a plan of attack; this would be fun.
"Go!"
Ken saw Renku run quickly up to him and Shikari jumped back. Anko pulled out her sword and threw it in the air, making a few hand seals. While this was happening, Renku was upon him throwing punches. Ken had to block them all with one hand, as the hand with the egg was behind his back. He blocked them all with ease though, but then Renku jumped into the air and threw his foot down into a stomp aimed at his face. Ken blocked this, and Renku bounced off, and while coming down spun into a round house. Ken caught Renku's foot this time, and threw him off to the side.
"Chiken (One thousand swords) no Jutsu!" Anko yelled, throwing her sword at Ken.
Ken braced himself, ready to jump to the side. Then he saw something. The sword was not just a sword anymore, but swords. There were ten, twenty, now thirty swords coming after him. He smiled, and jumped over the sword at the front, catching it by the handle, and did a front flip, throwing it back at Anko. He had easily seen through the Genjutsu, and the egg was still behind his back. Anko jumped out of the way of her sword, and the sword crashed handle first into the ground. Anko looked back to Shikari and noticed her sister had finished her jutsu.
"Katon! Goukakyu no Jutsu!"
Ken was surprised by this technique. No way someone who wasn't even a Genin could use it. No way. Then, as the flames enveloped him, he realized that she actually did it.
Shikari looked worried. Did she overdo it? Was Ken dead? She brought her fingernails up to her mouth and began to bite. What would she do if she accidentally killed her teacher? The one she was in love with, no less? Then she saw a smoldering log, and felt a presence behind her.
"Pay attention."
Shikari had no time to turn around as she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck.
Earlier...
"Okay!" Fever-Sensei exclaimed, running a comb through his fro. Team 6 was back at the foot of the Hokage Mountain, and it was dawn.
"I'm sending you all back to the academy unless you tell me about yourselves. You each have 15 seconds. Ready, go."
Shinku just stared at the weird Jounin's finger, pointing in her face. She was up first, and if she didn't say something quick, she was back to the academy. Wait, could he do that? Well, she was running out of time, so she quickly said something.
"Umm...I'm Shinku, and I'm of the Omamori clan, and...I like to write...And I don't talk much. And-"
"Times up!" Fever-Sensei said. "That was good. Your turn."
"I'm Kazama Miharu, I hate you, and I live alone. Next." Miharu said nonchalantly. Fever-Sensei could tell he would have to work his charm with this team.
"I guess I'm up then." Sae said. "I'm Sae, I live with my mom, and I think you're insane."
"That's it?" Fever asked, adjusting his shades.
"How do you see in those?" Sae asked, referring to his shades. "It's dawn, it's barely light out."
Fever looked around.
"So it is." He said, not surprised. "Anyways, I want you three to climb up the mountain before the sun rises. Do it or else you go back to the academy."
"What!?" Miharu snapped, reaching into her kunai holster. She knew she couldn't kill him, but she was ready to try.
"Well, you see," Fever started, combing his fro again. "Passing that test at the academy only QUALIFIED you to be Genins. You have to pass this to become one."
Sae only laughed. If she couldn't do this, then she definitely couldn't protect herself or her mother. She grabbed onto one of the jagged edges sticking out of the mountain and began climbing.
Shinku just stared upward, at the Hokages. Quite frankly, she was scared. She wanted to become a ninja, but she was so timid. She closed her eyes tightly and ran forward, grabbing onto a rock sticking out. She was ready.
Miharu looked angry. She had no time for climbing mountains under the instruction from an insane man. She had to find him. She needed answers. She focused her chakra into her feet, and began to run up. She wouldn't be able to do this for long, but at least she'd have a head start.
"Being on a team with two girls might not be so bad." Zukei thought while smiling, his red hair swaying in the wind.
It was eight o'clock, and the three students were there in the meadow. Marina wasn't there, so Zukei decided to start some small talk.
"So, how are you two ladies doing?" He asked sitting between them at the bank of the stream. He put his arms around their shoulders.
At the same time, they gently took his arms and threw him off their shoulders. He sighed and looked at the two. Shizumi was shaking a bit, and Riku was looking anxious. Then his eyes went down to Riku's chest, and they stayed there a while.
"What are you looking at?" Riku asked, her eyes narrowed. She looked like she was about to slap him, hard.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, Zukei saw something. Something sharp, pointy and black. A kunai!
"AHHHHH!" Zukei screamed, leaping up and diving into the stream. The kunai whizzed by.
"What the!?" Riku exclaimed, standing up. Shizumi stood up too, but had to duck as a shuriken flew over her.
"We're under attack!" Shizumi yelled. "Byakugan!"
Shizumi's eyes grew wide, and the veins on her temples popped out. She began dodging multiple kunai and shurikens, and saw Riku doing the same.
"Riku, we have to get out of here!" Shizumi yelled as a kunai zipped past her face. "Get Zukei!"
Zukei was underwater.
"Screw that pervert, let's just leave!"
Shizumi didn't feel right doing this, but if they stayed any longer, the two would get seriously injured. They began to run towards the forest, but when they got to the edge of the meadow, a giant wall popped out of the ground. Riku turned around to go the other way, but stopped.
"It's rising up all around the meadow! We're trapped!"
"At least the kunai and shurikens stopped coming." Shizumi thought, wiping her brow. Then the walls opened up.
Shizumi and Riku ran as hard as they could, back to the stream. Shurikens and kunai were coming from everywhere, but the two girls managed to dodge them each time. When they got there, they noticed the water was bubbling and Zukei was dodging all of the weapons.
"I had to get out." Zukei yelled, dodging another shuriken. There was so much noise, what with shurikens and kunai flying everywhere, and hitting the other side of the wall. "The water started boiling."
So there the three were, trying their best to dodge everything, when something came to Shizumi's mind. The final test. This would determine if they were Genins or not. Shizumi stopped; their teacher wouldn't harm them would she?
"This is all just a test to see if we're Genin quality!"
Zukei and Riku kept dodging. They didn't know what was wrong with this Hyuuga girl, but halting movement at a time like this was just stupid.
"Look, these things can't hurt us!" Shizumi said, and then the kunai and shuriken stopped coming at her. "This is genjutsu!"
Zukei and Riku then stopped. What she was saying was making sense, but they had already become Genins. Right?
"Kai!"
"Kai!"
"Kai!"
The three looked around, noticing that there was no more wall and no kunai or shuriken. They had figured out the trick.
"Haha! That was fun, wasn't it?" Marina yelled, bursting out of the ground. "I congratulate you all, but you weren't supposed to know it was a test."
Shizumi knew she was referring to her. She guessed she had cheated, sort of. But it had all worked out for the best.
"Therefore," Marina said, a hint of evil in her voice. "You all fail. You're going back to the academy."
"WHAT!?" came out of the three students' mouths. Zukei fainted, Shizumi was shaking, and Riku looked like she was about to cry.
"Just kidding."
Riku and Shizumi sighed, but Zukei was still on the ground. Marina ushered them to come on, and so the three women started off toward the forest.
"Come on, Zukei." Riku sighed, running up to the red-headed boy. "We passed."
"Only the kiss of a beautiful maiden can wake me from my slumber!" Zukei exclaimed, grabbing Riku and pulling her down to him, puckering his lips.
"Pervert!" She yelled, slapping him. Then she was gone.
Zukei only snapped his fingers.
"YAAAAAH!" Seiya yelled, slamming his fist into the thin wooden board. He only succeeded in hurting himself.
Team 5 had met on the field where, in the academy, they had learned to throw kunai and shuriken, among other things. Kabi had told them all about the final Genin exam, and had told them to break the board, stepping to the side and revealing a thing wooden board. It was proving harder than they had each expected. And Seiya was starting to get sweaty, as if he didn't smell bad enough.
Gan fell back, and so did Kuro, reverting back to his dog form. The two were tired out from using so much chakra on the beast-human transformation. It didn't help at all.
"There's no way to break this board!" Rei stomped her foot on the ground, her pigtails bouncing. "I quit."
Rei took a seat in the grass in between Seiya and Gan. Seiya wasn't smelling very good either. Then, he lifted his arms, as if pointing at something. She almost fainted.
"Look!" Seiya yelled, pointing in the distance. There was a small board.
"He said, 'Break the board', remember? Maybe he wasn't talking about the one behind him!"
Rei plugged her nose, got up, and moved to lay on the unbreakable board.
"You stink Seiya."
"You'll have to get used to it." Seiya sighed. No girls liked him.
Seiya then got up and walked off toward the other board. This was the only way; if it didn't work, then it was back to the academy for them. When he got there, he picked the board up, and brought it back to the other two.
"Here." He said, holding it out to Gan. "Break it."
"It's not going to work." Rei sang.
But she was wrong. Gan got up, throwing a weak punch, and ended up falling end to it because he was too tired. The board easily broke, and the three heard clapping.
"It's about time you got it. You exhausted all that chakra, yet it was so simple."
Standing in front of them was Kabi, grinning. He snapped, and the unbreakable board disappeared. Rei fell to the ground softly, but didn't sit up. She didn't even say ouch. They had really exhausted all of their chakra.
"Well you all pass..." Kabi mumbled, but they still didn't seem to care. "Whatever, you three still have to make it home. Oh yea, meet me at the Hokage's tomorrow at 10."
Then in a puff of smoke, he was gone. And now they had to get home.
"So, you three made it up the mountain, finally." Fever laughed. The sun had already risen before they got up there.
Shinku pounded the mountain top, a tear falling to the ground. They had failed. All of them. And now, Shinku would have to go back.
"I'll just have to find him myself." Miharu thought, standing up. She didn't need to be a Genin.
"I'll never be able to protect her..." Sae thought.
"NO!" She yelled, staring up at the skies, raising her fists.
"Uh...There's no reason to be all dramatic, I was just kidding." Fever nervously laughed, bringing up his arms defensively.
"But, we didn't make it up fast enough!" Sae said, her eyes swelling with tears.
"Oh, about that." He laughed some more. "I just wanted you to make it up faster."
Miharu pulled out her kunai; now she was definitely going to try to kill him. He was dead, so dead.
"Well I guess you guys don't think that was funny like me." Fever was still laughing nervously. "Uh...missions start tomorrow, meet me at the Hokage's place at 10:30."
And then he was gone, leaving the three girls to get off the mountain. Luckily, there were stairs.
Shikari stood up, holding the back of her neck. Anko and Renku came back and they were back in their formation, with Shikari in the back, Anko in front, and Renku beside Anko. Ken was back in his original starting position, with the egg still in his left hand, which was behind his back.
"C'mon. If you can't get this from me in five minutes, you're all going back to the academy!"
Anko's eyes widened. He had never given them a time limit! If she didn't do something soon, she'd be back at the academy.
"Once more, Uchiha formation!" She yelled.
Renku ran around Ken again, and Anko ran forward, picking up her sword in the process. Shikari was right behind her, doing seals.
Ken turned around, throwing the egg in the air, and began to deflect all of Renku's attacks. Then, WHAM! He hit Renku squarely in the chest with his palm, and the black haired boy went flying back, to the edge of the building. Then he turned around, confronting Shikari.
He pulled out a kunai, blocking the girls downward slash, then pushed. The girl's hand flew back, as she was outmatched in strength, then he kicked her in the stomach. She went flying towards Shikari, but Shikari jumped.
"Katon! Hi Nageru no Jutsu (Fire Throwing Skill)!" Shikari yelled, putting her hands into the seal of the tiger. She put her hands forth and threw a fire ball at Ken.
Ken looked up and saw the egg descending. Then he looked at the fire. Oh well. He jumped back, dodging the fire, and saw the egg fall on the ground into the flames. Shikari landed gracefully in front of the flames.
"You pass." Ken sighed, he knew they could do it. "Good job Shikari."
Renku jumped off the building immediately, running down the street yelling. Anko only sighed and slapped her forehead, embarrassed about her brother. Shikari was blushing from the compliment.
"Well, that's a wrap." Ken said, clapping. "Tomorrow, meet at the Hokage's. 11 o'clock." Then he was gone.
The Uchiha's were now Genins.
Episode 3: Final Test
"How could you be in love with our teacher!?" Anko shrieked. She was yelling at Shikari at the moment, angry that she was smitten with their teacher.
"Well at least I actually show human emotions, you robot!" Shikari retorted.
The Uchiha parents were in the living area, enjoying a pleasant conversation with each other over the yelling. They were used to it by now. Both girls were control freaks, so this unfortunately caused problems.
"I wish you never became a Genin!"

Ken turned around, throwing the egg in the air, and began to deflect all of Renku's attacks. Then, WHAM! He hit Renku squarely in the chest with his palm, and the black haired boy went flying back, to the edge of the building. Then he turned around, confronting Shikari.
He pulled out a kunai, blocking the girls downward slash, then pushed. The girl's hand flew back, as she was outmatched in strength, then he kicked her in the stomach. She went flying towards Shikari, but Shikari jumped.
"Katon! Hi Nageru no Jutsu (Fire Throwing Skill)!" Shikari yelled, putting her hands into the seal of the tiger. She put her hands forth and threw a fire ball at Ken.
Ken looked up and saw the egg descending. Then he looked at the fire. Oh well. He jumped back, dodging the fire, and saw the egg fall on the ground into the flames. Shikari landed gracefully in front of the flames.
"You pass." Ken sighed, he knew they could do it. "Good job Shikari."
Renku jumped off the building immediately, running down the street yelling. Anko only sighed and slapped her forehead, embarrassed about her brother. Shikari was blushing from the compliment.
"Well, that's a wrap." Ken said, clapping. "Tomorrow, meet at the Hokage's. 11 o'clock." Then he was gone.
The Uchiha's were now Genins.
