Prologue

A young child who seemed to be somewhere around the age of 5 was meditating in a clearing in the forest. He had long red hair that reached the base of his neck and it was tied together with a simple piece of string. He had a hitai-ai with the symbol of the leaf village on it underneath his chin. His eyebrows were furrowed in conversation. His nose twitches. "There!" he says and points in a direction. Opening his eyes he asks, "Did I get it right?"

"Your tracking ability never ceases to amaze me young Wolf," snarls a dire wolf that appears where he pointed. The wolf was silver furred and he seemed to exude an aura of age. "Go find out what group you're in."

"Ok!" giggles Wolf. He takes off at an alarming speed for a five-year-old child. At the Academy, Wolf goes and sits in his usual spot up in the spot closest to the window.

"Hey Naruto! Class today is for people who graduated!" says one kid.

"Check out the headband," he replies the blonde loudmouth.

"Hey who's the new girl?" thought Wolf.

"Hey! Quiet! Thank you. The class will now be divided into cells of three and assigned a Jonin Instructor. The teams will be such, Team One... Team Five: Wolf, Ochiro Kaneda, and Touya Jynx.

"Jynx must be the new girl." thought Wolf. Wolf abruptly turned over and fell asleep.

Two Hours Later

"Where the hell's our Instructor? If he can't make it on time then he must pay!" yelled Naruto. He puts an eraser up in the crack of the door.

"Two people are coming. One male and one female," says Wolf as he wakes up. He looks at the door as Kakashi walks through. The eraser hit him in the head. Naruto laughs at him.

"Hmm, I can already tell that I hate you," says Kakashi, "Come on Team 7."

After he leaves, the female Jonin walks through the door. "Hey squirt!" says the Jonin.

"Oh crap. You're our instructor Kyo?" says Kaneda. She nods and motions for the three to follow her. When they get outside, she motions for them to take a seat on the log.

"Well I guess we better start this off by introducing ourselves, I'll go first. My name is Ochiro, Kyo. My dream is none of your business. And my hobbies are not telling people what my actual hobbies are. I also have plenty of likes and dislikes that I'm not telling you. Your turn," she says happily.

"My name is Touya, Jynx," said the silver haired girl. "I like..well, as long as I'm not dying its all pretty good. I hate...um, well..." her gold eyes faltered as she looked down and whispered, "revenge..." My dream is to..." she grew even quieter and her thick blue-black lashes brushed against ivory skin "I want to havefreinds. My hobbies are drawing and sitting in the quiet," she whispered, arms wrapped tight around her legs.

"My name is Ochiro, Kaneda. I like confusing people. I hate it when people annoy me. I don't know what my dream is. My hobby is lying on the roof and looking at the stars and annoying people, but of course you know that sis," says Kaneda.

"Ooh my turn! My name is Wolf. I like playing in the forest. I hate people who hurt animals for no reason. My dream is to... be able to have friends who are human. My hobbies are training and playing with my friends. I also love fighting," said Wolf.

"Our first Mission will be a training mission. Your goal is to get these two bells from me. The person who does not get one will not eat for one day. You only have two hours... Go!" yells Kyo. She disappears into the forest at a blazing speed.

An hour later

In the Forest

"Where is she? Wolf, track her. We'll follow you," says Kaneda. Wolf takes off in a direction. Wolf jumps from tree to tree as the other two follow.

"She's in the clearing up a head," whispers Wolf.

"All right now hears what we will do..." whispers Kaneda as he tells Wolf and Jynx the plan to take on Kyo.

A few minutes later Wolf runs out from under cover and attempts a leg sweep. Kyo jumps over the leg just to be attacked by Jynx. Kyo, in surprise, tries to catch Jynx and throw her. Kyo stumbles to have Jynx go through her. Five kunais come out of nowhere heading for Kyo. She jumps and watches as the kunais hit Wolf. Wolf goes up in smoke. A shadow covers her as Wolf smashes her back into the ground. The ground warps as two hands come out of it and take the two bells. Kyo never even notices.

"Can we fight? Pleeeease?" says Wolf. Without even waiting for an answer, he leaps at Kyo. He swings his fist at her. She catches it and delivers an open palm strike to his sternum. He gasps as her fist hits him. Wolf falls and the second he touches the ground he flips and hits her in the chin knocking her back. After she takes a step back she gets blown backwards as Wolf tosses several kunais at the ground in front of her. Wolf flies through the dust and knees her in the stomach. She bends over. Kyo suddenly grabs Wolf's feet and slam him against the ground. The second he hits the ground a black blur crashes into Kyo and knocks her to the ground. It has its mouth around her throat.

"Stop it Red- Eye! We were only sparring!" growls Wolf.

"The insolent female hurt you. Besides I'm itching for a fight," Red-Eye growls back. He lets go of her throat.

A timer goes off. "Well it looks like none of you got the bells," she says as she reaches to grab the bells. "What! They're gone! I must have dropped them!" she yells.

Slowly, Jynx rises out of the ground with the two bells grinning just slightly. Kaneda laughs as he appears out of nowhere right in the middle of the field.

"It was easy! In fact I'll even tell you what the plan was! First Jynx made a Bunshin (1) that looked like Wolf. It charged you and distracted you while I created a Genjutsu (2) of Jynx to attack you. After it passed through you, I tossed the kunais at you. You jumped which caused them to hit the Bunshin and kill it. That surprised you and left you open for Wolf to hit you. And then somehow Jynx's hands came out of the ground and stole the bells. The rest was because Wolf wanted to fight you," he turns to Jynx, "By the way, how did you do that?"

She blinked in surprise and nervously rubbed her foot against her leg. "It's part of myBloodline (3). I can summon the elements. Just then I summoned a minor Earth Elemental and had him help me pass through the ground," she looked up with a guilty little smile.

"Congratulations! You passed the test. You are now officially Genins (4). This exercise was merely to see if you could work together to defeat a common enemy," laughs Kyo.
