Senjou: Something is just pushing me to write more and more and more. Either its all the nice reviews I'm getting, or I'm just overly bored... Or both... But whichever it is, time to answer the reviews! Oh, and for all of your information, my school gets out this coming Wednesday, so be prepared for TONS of updates then.

Le1, Mizu-kana - Glad you like that pairing so much... Enjoy this chapter too!

Bevy-chan - Wow... I've heard good, I've heard okay, but I've never heard the word awesome describing one of my stories... Thanks so much! And thanks again for offering to draw the kids... Once your done I might just put the link to the picture onto my user page for all the people who like this story to see -smile-.

Okay, Chapter 3... START!


Jeez, where are those idiots... I'm so bored, I've been waiting here for about thirty minutes. Kajou tapped her foot, she was leaning against a tree next to the entrance of the training area they had been in the day before. There shouldn't really be a reason she's complaining about the others being late since she had just been extremely early, the sun still hadn't came up.

Maybe I should just train by myself until they get here. And that's exactly what she did. She started stretching, afterwards she practiced her aim by tossing her needles, kunai, shuriken, and other various weapons at targets she taped to trees around the clearing. The sun finally came up and Komayaka walked in to find Kajou training.

Kajou didn't notice Komayaka so she kept training, the only thing Komayaka didn't realize, is that he was standing right in between Kajou and a tree with an unused target on it. Kajou spun around and hurtled a handle-less kunai towards the target Komayaka was in front of.

Luckily Komayaka was able to dodge the kunai, but just barely. He ended up with a cut along the side of his right arm. Kajou rushed over to see if she'd hurt her new teammate much, and she hadn't, so she started apologizing over and over again.

About five minutes later their sensei walked in carrying a yelling Urasai by the collar. "Stop squirming, don't be asleep next time I come to check at your house to see if you're ready for missions." Yatsu tossed Urasai so he was on the ground right next to where Kajou and Komayaka were.

"Okay, for our first mission today we will be—"

"Are we going to fight lots of ninja's from other villages?" Urasai yelled loudly, obviously excited because he thought they were going to have some thrilling, death-defying mission.

"No... Our first mission is taking care of a class of first years at the ninja academy for an hour since their teacher will be busy."

"Why do we have to take care of some stinking eight year olds?" No, it wasn't Urasai. It was actually Komayaka who had yelled that time. Urasai and Kajou looked at him strangely while their sensei just sighed and shook his head.

"You can't argue, we have to do it if you want to take the Chuunin Exam any time soon. Because, from what I've heard, it starts in two weeks."

Still keeping a straight face, not looking excited at all, Kajou thought, YES! I'm going to kick butt so bad in the Chuunin Exam even if I am a rookie. I'll make mom proud for sure and in the finals of the fighting round I'll actually make Dad cheer for me. He didn't cheer for that baka Yakkai, so I'd already be beating him in something! "Where do we need to go to take care of them?"

"We're going to take care of them right here. You'll all split up into different groups and the groups of kids will rotate so they get to each of your stations. What you teach them is up to you, but it has to be somewhat educational for future ninjas."

"Hai." All of the Genin said simultaneously, each with different tones in their voices. Kajou was somewhat excited, Komayaka was bored, and Urasai was mad because they had gotten such a simple mission. Their sensei waved a hand and about two dozen eight year olds ran in, standing with the person that looked the most exciting. They had apparently already gotten instructions on what to do.

All of the girls ended up standing by Kajou and all of the boys were by Komayaka. After all, what sane eight year old doesn't know that a boy with pink, spiky hair is really weird. Their sensei whispered to all three of the Genin, "This is the only time I'll help you..." He started talking loud enough for every person in that training area to hear. "Okay! All of you kids, there needs to be eight of you with each of these Genin. Four girls and four boys with each!" All of the kids groaned and started dividing up evenly.

After about a minute they were all divided up how they were supposed to be and each of the Genin took their group to a separate part of the training area.

Kajou lead her group not too far away from where they had been before, and they were still by plenty of trees. After they had stopped one of the boys observed the surroundings and shouted out, "We're not going to be picking flowers, are we?"

"No... Okay, now to introduce myself to all of you. I'm Hyuuga Kajou." There were a few surprised gasps and a few, "Awesome!"'s from the younger kids because pretty much everyone had heard about the rankings for the new graduating Genin class. "Now, I'm going to ask a few questions for you guys to answer. And no, we aren't going to be answering questions the whole time. First off, how many of you know how to fight with a kunai?"

A few shaking hand reached up into the air, three boys and one girl. "How many of you know how to fight with shuriken?" All of their hands went into the air with that one. Good, not everyone in my class knew how to fight with shurikens until we were nine. I think one kid didn't even learn until he was ten, but I can't remember who... "Okay, now that I have that info, I'll tell you all what we're doing." All of the kids were listening intently, having already guessed what they were going to do for this lesson.

"I'm going to train you all to fight with kunai, and for the ones who already know how I have something special for you. Before I give you guys some kunai to start throwing at the targets on those trees, I'm going to demonstrate." She whipped out a kunai from somewhere, though it had been to quick to really tell. Kajou tossed the kunai at one of the trees, hitting the target perfectly in the center. After all of the "Ooo"'s and "Ah..."'s of the kids had stopped she pulled the kunai out of the tree using her chakra and tucked it safely to where it was before.

"Did you all see how I threw that?" All of the kids who were going to be learning how to throw the kunai nodded. "Now, try and copy those movements with the kunai that are in front of you. If anybody gets hurt just come to me, I have plenty of bandages." She then went to the four kids who already knew how to fight with kunai and demonstrated how to throw her favorite weapon, needles. Kajou got them started and went over to lean on a tree and watch.

Some of these kids are really good... That one girl who's throwing the needles is already almost hitting right in the middle. And a few of the kids who are throwing the kunai are doing good too. Oh, great. The first injury... One of the girls who was throwing kunai came up with a huge, deep cut along the palm of her hand, she was crying, but not loudly.

"Oh, that's a pretty bad one..." Kajou said, looking over the wound making sure it was all clean so it wouldn't get infected. "How'd you get it?"

"W-when I was t-t-trying to grab my k-kunai out of th-the tree, I accidentally g-grabbed the sharp p-part..." The girl replied, still trying not to cry. Kajou nodded and started wrapping the girls hand with bandages. After about a minute she was done.

"Go back and keep trying, try not to grab the sharp part again, okay?" The girl ran off to keep trying just to be replaced by two of the needle-throwing boys. One of them was just helping his friend.

The one who wasn't hurt said, "I accidentally let go of my needle and it hit him in the leg." He pointed to the needle in the back of the other boy's leg.

"Okay... You can hold him still while I pull this out. Brace yourself, because it sometimes hurts a bit when you tug these needles out." She grasped the needle and pulled it out quickly with a small yelp of pain from the boy. She wrapped his leg in a bandage and sent both of them off to get started again. It had been about ten minutes since they had started.

In the last ten minutes there was a lot more injuries. Over all, everyone had gotten hurt at least once, and a few unlucky ones had been hurt two or three times. She sent them off in the direction of Komayaka's station.

Their sensei came over with a slight smile on his face. "What did you do, make them fight you?"

"No, I taught them how to fight with kunai, and for the ones who already knew I told them how to throw needles."

"That's just as bad, except for the fact that none of them are lethally wounded... I guess I said for it to be something educational and that fits into the category..."

The group of kids who had just been with Kajou had arrived at Komayaka's station. Once Komayaka had seen all the bandages on them he got a little worried. Oh my... What did she do to them? At least they most likely won't get hurt at my station. "Hello, everyone. I hope you enjoyed my friend's station and will enjoy mine too. First of all, I'm Uchiha Komayaka. And today we're going to play hide and go seek. What this has to do with being a ninja is that you have to be able to hide from your enemies, and you have to be able to find them too. For the first ten minutes one of you will be it. But for the last ten I'll be it and you have to be able to hide really well. Once you're found come and sit by this tree over here." He pointed to a tree behind him. "If the ten minutes are up and not everyone has been found I'll call out 'Ollie, Ollie, oxen free!' and it'll be safe to come out without losing."

All of the kids looked completely excited, even though they were still trying to decide whether training with kunai/needles was better than playing hide and go seek. "Who wants to be it?"

Several hands shot up and Komayaka ended up picking a brown haired girl with bandages wrapped around her right hand (a.k.a 'Grabbed-the-sharp-part-of-the-kunai-girl'). "Go and hide! You, count to thirty and then go and find your friends." The girl started counting and Komayaka sat down by the tree where they were going to sit once they were found.

Looking around he had already spotted a few of the hiding kids. There's a boy in the branches of that tree right there... There's a girl hiding in that fake rabbit hole... Another boy is hiding in the hollow of that tree... This is going to be easier than the last group if they hide this obviously.

"Thirty! Ready or not, here I come!" The girl ran off to find her friends. She ran right past the fake rabbit hole, the tree with the boy in it, and the tree hollow with the other boy in it without noticing them. The first person she found was the boy who had been hit with his friends needle hiding in a fake bush that was square shaped. She soon after found the rest except for the three that Komayaka had noticed right off.

She never did find those last three within the ten minutes so Komayaka called out, "Ollie, Ollie, oxen free!" The kids left jumped/climbed out of their hiding spots and Komayaka started clapping for the people who were 'good' at hiding, and the other kids followed suit. After the clapping was over, Komayaka started talking again. "Okay, now I'm going to be the seeker, so you all better find good hiding spots. I'll give you fifty seconds to hide this time. Ready, go!" He closed his eyes and started counting.

Once their fifty seconds were up, Komayaka started looking, and found them all within one and a half minutes. The kids apparently didn't like that version of the game, so he thought of another way they could play. "Okay, since that was a little too easy for me. This time I'm going to hide and you all have to find me. Give me ten seconds." All of the kids closed their eyes and started counting. Komayaka used a jutsu that allowed him to go underground. They'll never find me here, but I'll just give them the thrill of searching.

He heard the kids call "Ten!" from above him. A minute passed by and he still heard them searching high and low for him. Two minutes had now passed and they apparently they were losing their enthusiasm. After five minutes total one of the kids called out, "Make a noise!", which didn't really help them since they couldn't tell where it was coming from. Eight minutes had passed by and most of the kids had given up, but a few were still searching. Since they would have to walk to the next station before the twenty minutes they had each time was up he decided to come out from his hiding spot. He called out, "Home free!" so they wouldn't say they found him, and popped out from the ground. Before they could realize where he was actually hiding (there wasn't a mark left on the ground from when he jumped up) he sent them off to Urasai's station, whatever it may be.

It will never be known whether Urasai's or Kajou's stations were more dangerous... "Okay. First of all, I'm Uzumaki Urasai, the son of the current Hokage. Here I'm going to teach you a new jutsu. It is an easy one to learn but some of you might have some trouble." (A/N: It's an elementary jutsu, but I don't think they learn how to do it in the ninja academy. If they do, just pretend this class doesn't know it yet...)

The younger kids nodded. "Curse these little kids! They aren't even acknowledging the fact that I'm the son of the Hokage! They must be idiots..." (A/N: Just as a reminder for all of you readers, bold and italics is the Inner Urasai talking... Italics is whoever the main person is then thinking) No, if they were idiots, they wouldn't have survived Kajou's training because she probably did something with weapons, I guess that's why they're all covered in bandages though... "I'm going to be teaching you the Kawimiri no jutsu (Replacement Technique)."

The same kid who had told Komayaka to make a noise during hide and go seek spoke out. "But we aren't supposed to learn that until we're ten!"

"Well, I know you're all really smart so I'm teaching you now." All of the eight year olds smiled. "They are NOT smart! They were not amazed that you were the son of the Hokage!" They are smart, so shut up. "Now, one of you run at me and try to attack. Go all out, don't be afraid of hurting me."

All of the kids huddled together and picked someone to attack Urasai. They finally picked one of the taller boys who was probably the best fighter out of them. The boy started running at Urasai with a kunai and threw it at him. Right when it would've hit him, Urasai shouted out, "Kawimiri no jutsu!" and he was replaced by a log. The kids looked surprised even they knew that was going to happen in that technique.

Urasai jumped down from a nearby tree. "Divide up into pairs, one girl versus boy to make it fair." He watched them fight, a kid occasionally getting it right, but he had to apply more bandages in that twenty minutes than most ninjas did on five B-ranked missions put together.

Once the last twenty minutes were up all of the groups were brought to the center of the clearing, everyone was bandaged up all over. When their teacher saw them she totally freaked out and asked Yatsu what had happened. The teacher was just barely calm when she brought her class back to the ninja academy. After all of them were out of site Yatsu turned to his students ready to ask what they though.

"So, did you guys like your first mission?"

"I thought it was cool," I bet all of the kids liked my station best. Kajou was going to say that last part out loud, but before she did she realized that it would be as unlike her as possible so she decided against it.

"The kids were really nice, and they appeared to like hide and go seek." Komayaka said fiddling around with his thumbs.

"They were all so cute, and really smart too!" Urasai shouted out, going against what his inner self was saying, which was something like this: "They were all freaking idiots! They were not amazed at my amazing relation to the sixth Hokage!"

"I'm glad you all liked your first mission." Yatsu said, grinning. "I hope your ready for another mission. I'll try and get a little bit of a harder one for you guys this time, that one seemed too easy. Maybe one with some fighting in it."

"Hai." All three of the students said, following their sensei who was already walking away towards the Hokage's office.

Yatsu knocked on the door of the Hokage's office, but Urasai just barged in like it was his house... Well, it was sort of since the Hokage was his father and was at the office a lot so... Whatever. "Hey, Dad!" Urasai yelled once he was inside, waking up his father who was sleeping on his desk. (A/N: Who does that remind me of... -cough-Tsunade-cough-) "We need another mission, Dad!"

The rest of his team walked in calmly and quietly, except for a small "Shut up." From Kajou to Urasai. Yatsu explained to Naruto what kind of mission he wanted for his team. "This time I want a mission for them that will be dangerous, but not too dangerous. I'd like it better if there would be a chance of fighting, but an information gathering mission would probably be good, too. Either of those would have to be C-ranked missions at the least, most likely..."

"Stop explaining, I get it." Naruto said. He remembered his first hard mission, where they faced Zabuza and Haku. He didn't want to give his son that kind of mission, but their sensei was one of the most stubborn ninja's in the whole world, so he had to give them a mission like that or it would probably be trouble... He started looking through the C-ranked missions, nothing that looked like what their sensei would want, this was going to be trouble. He did not want to give them a B-ranked mission, but he didn't want Yatsu annoying him... Defiantly not...

He waved for Yatsu to come closer and whispered in his ear. "There isn't anything that seems like what you want in the C-ranked mission. Do you think they're ready for a B-ranked one?"

"Throw it at them... Will it count as more than one mission since it's so hard?" (A/N: Ya, their sensei is a little crazy... I mean, who would send their team on a B-ranked mission for only their second mission?)

"I'll have to think about that, okay?" Yatsu nodded. The kids were standing in the background wondering what the adults were talking about. Naruto turned to the three kids. "Since none of the C-ranked missions meet what your sensei wants for your next mission, I will make a rare exception to what level of missions Genins get and allow you to do a B-ranked mission."

Kajou's mouth dropped, as did Komayaka's, but Urasai looked overjoyed that they were getting such a huge mission. Their sensei just smiled slightly, anxious of what the mission their team was going to get would be, since he didn't know it yet either.

"Your mission will be..." Naruto looked in the B-ranked mission scroll. "An information gathering mission in the Hidden Sound Village. If Orochimaru was still around this would most likely be a S-ranked mission, but since he's dead and Kabuto is the one in charge it isn't as dangerous, you still need to be cautious. All you have to do is find where Kabuto stays within the village, then head back. Got it?"

Even Urasai looked scared after hearing what the mission was, everyone knew how dangerous the Hidden Sound Village was. Still, Yatsu looked the same, excited. "You will leave on your mission immediately."

"I have to go tell my parents." Kajou and Komayaka said at the same time, but didn't notice and walked in opposite directions, which was right at each other. They each ran into the other and ended up on the ground, hugging...

Urasai smirked, "Pft... And I thought you two were supposed to be better ninjas. You ran into each other and are hugging in public." (A/N: For those of you who don't know Japanese culture people don't show any sign of affection in public unless they REALLY like the other person. Or it's a little kid...)

Komayaka moved so quick you couldn't see him and popped up behind Urasai. Before Urasai had even realized that Komayaka had moved, Komayaka had punched him out the window and across the yard outside of the Hokage's office. He shoved his hands in his pockets and walked out of the room without saying goodbye.

"Multiple personality disorder?" Naruto asked their sensei and Yatsu just shrugged and walked out. That left Kajou on the floor, and a huge hole in the Hokage's wall. Naruto glanced at her and said, "You can follow your teammates now... I can fix the wall myself, I think I see them by my son out there..." He pointed to where the rest of her team was out where Urasai was still laying on the ground.

"Okay, Hokage-sama..." Kajou walked over to the hole in the wall and jumped out into the yard below. She walked over to where the rest of her team was and looked at Urasai just sitting up off of the ground.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR, KOMAYAKA-BAKA!" "Yeah! Nice one, it rhymes too!" Urasai yelled, and then his inner self yelled. He now had a black eye and a small nose bleed.

"You insulted Kajou-chan." Komayaka said. (A/N: I think he likes her... I don't really have any plans yet but I'm thinking they might start liking each other... I will say no more.)

Although Yatsu enjoyed watching his students fight each other, he had to stop this one because of the mission they would be going on that they were supposed to leave for immediately. "Both of you break it up. Komayaka, Kajou, go tell your parents about the mission and head to the village gates after that. See you guys later. You're coming with me." He grabbed onto Urasai's shirt and disappeared in a poof of smoke.

"See you later." Komayaka said and walked away. Kajou waved and turned to walk to her own house. She hoped her parents would allow her to go on this mission, her father would have no problem with it most likely, but she didn't know about her always worrying mother. Yakkai would probably be happy to have her gone, but she wasn't sure.

She arrived at her house about five minutes later and walked in. Once she was inside and had shut the door her mother called out from somewhere, "Back already, Kajou-chan?"

"Well, I'm going to have to leave soon on a mission out of the village... A hard one." Kajou said when she walked into the kitchen where her mother was making lunch.

"It can't be too hard, can it? You're only allowed to go on C- or D-ranked missions when you're a Genin... But I remember that Gaara kid had completed an A-ranked mission while he was still a Genin, but that's a whole different story." Tenten said, stirring the dish she was cooking without even glancing at it.

"It's a... B-ranked mission. To the Hidden Sound Village..." Kajou said quietly, hoping her mother wouldn't understand and say it was fine.

"A B-RANKED MISSION!" Tenten yelled like Rock Lee. Kajou had to plug her ears. Tenten was just calming down when Neji walked in.

"Did Yakkai get a B-ranked mission again? He's going to get hurt, lets just hope he doesn't end up in the hospital for a month like last time..." Neji said, sitting down on the table. He then noticed Kajou, "Hello, Kajou-chan. When did you get home? How did your first mission go?"

"My first mission went well, I got home just about five minutes ago. And it's not Yakkai who got a B-ranked mission... It was... me..." Kajou said, slowly getting quieter the whole time so the last few words were barely audible mumbles.

"Good luck on your mission then, Kajou. I hope you do a little better than Yakkai does on these types of missions." Neji said, picking up a newspaper that was on the table.

"How can you not be mad that Naruto would give a Genin, let alone our twelve year old daughter, a B-ranked mission!" Tenten yelled at Neji, but it didn't even phase him.

"She's always been stronger than Yakkai, she's probably even stronger than some of the weaker Jounins here, we don't need to worry." Neji said, then he looked over to Kajou. "Don't listen to what your mother says. I give you full permission to go on the mission, good luck."

Kajou nodded and then left the house before her mother could hold her back. This mission is going to be quiet interesting... She started walking towards the gates of the village, checking to make sure she had all of her weapons and scrolls.


Senjou: It took me too long to type that, but what should you expect since its ten pages long... I'll try and keep chapters this long or just a little shorter but still update quickly. (I'm shooting for about two a week, that'll make you all happy, right?) Be expecting the next update on the 24th or 25th! Review please, Sayonara!
