Disclaimer: No, I dont own own Naruto, be it the series, manga, or any characters or ideas pertaining there to. I do however have original characters within this story, Tohya Kuren, Omey and Arana.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: So, if you have noticed, I am using some Japanese, and some Bolded English. I have been able to find some of the information I have been looking for, but unfortunatly, I cant find a good translation engine that translates to Roman characters instead of kanji. Any help would be appreciated.

Another fighting scene, Chap 3 will have some too, but I am going to keep it to a minimum. I felt it necessary to demonstrate the power of the Whirlwind of the Earth, as that is something that Omey has to use quite a bit, it is her defense. The speed of it is critical. Going to have the other fights go small, but need small demonstrations of their abilities, for my reference as much as to set some limits on the characters. So here is chappy 2, enjoy and review and stuff, suggestions are majorly appreciated right now, especially that engine

Chapter 2 - Whirlwind of the Earth, and the Fist of the Right

Tsunade looked at the newcomers to the Leaf. She was quite amazed actually, after receiving the reports from Naruto and Kakasho, and looking at the initial investigation into the Tohya dojutsu; amazed that the Hidden Rock let them go this easy. The youngest of the clan, Arana stood before her, eyes still bound with a now blank forehead protector.

"You are looking at my seals." Arana stated plainly. Tsunade was somewhat startled at this frank declaration.

"Er, yes, I was I apologize. It is just that I have never seen the likes of them before." Tsunade paused momentarly then continued, "You are welcome and safe here after you have had some time to rest we would like to run you through the standard medical tests, and then a few small tests on your skills. We have our own grading system here that may be a little different than Rock. Kuren, Omey, I am afraid for now you will be genin among the Konoha ranks, should you choose to join us." The two chuunin nodded their acceptance, "We will be assigning you with a Jounin instructor for the time being, and he will help you get accustomed to life in the Leaf." It was at that moment that Naruto decided to walk in for his meeting with the Godaime. "Speaking of which, here he is."

"Hm? What are you talking about obaa-chan?"

Ignoring him she asked the three newcomers, "Do you all accept?" They all nodded then she turned to Naruto. "Naruto-kun, I would like to introduce you to your team. Team Seven." Naruto beamed and laced his fingers behind his head. "You will report tomorrow morning for standard tests. For now, go to your quarters here in the tower till we can get you set up with a residence. Naruto, please guide them."

"Okay." With a broad sweep of his hand he guided them out of the Hokage's office and up several flights of stairs to a suite of rooms overlooking Konoha, and looking directly out at the Hokage monument. Several long couches lined the walls and four bedrooms shot off the main common room and kitchen. On the low table in the common room sat 3 leaf headbands.

"Oi, have you three eaten yet?" Naruto stood in the kitchen with a cupboard open, looking at the contents. With a negative reply he set a kettle to boil and pulled down four cup ramen. In minutes team seven sat around the table in the common room and chatted the evening away, getting to know each other.

Morning came early, as anticipated mornings usually do, and Naturo and the Tohyas began the long trek to training field 32, on the northwest edge of the Konoha village. Tsunade, Shizune, Kakashi, Neji and Lee were there, and moments later, Konohamaru arrived with Iruka. Naruto greeted his old instructor with a grin, and ruffled Konohamaru's hair enthusiastically. Before he could get more than a few words of greeting out however, the Hokage beginning to speak cut him short.

"We are here this morning to run basic combat simulations and tests for out new members. I will be watching, as well as Lee-san, Neji-san and Kakashi-san. Omey-chan, you are up first please, against Konohamaru." Both contestants stepped up. "Test each other, avoid injury if possible. Don't kill each other please. Begin."

Konohamaru grinned and stepped back in to a fighting stance and Omey followed suit. They squared off, eying each other for weaknesses. With deliberate slowness, Konohamaru reached for a kunai and then with chakra-infused speed, rushed his female opponent. He slashed at her, and missed. She was just gone. "What speed," he thought, sensing her presence behind him. He ducked and lashed out a leg at ankle level, hoping to trip her. He felt his leg connect with hers and smiled. He finished the sweep and popped back up, and saw a log on the ground. "Above," he thought again and looked. She was coming down on him with a blue blade. Konohamaru back flipped out of the way as Omey's sword slammed into the ground, leaving a crater meters wide. She stood up with a wicked grin on her face. In her hand was a small piece of metal, cylindrical in shape but solid. Out of it, a fierce blue blade erupted, chakra its crackling power source.

"Bunshin no jutsu!" Four Konohamaru's rushed Omey with blazing speed, kunai in hand. The kunochi held her sword high and didn't move. The clones closed in from four directions. At the last possible moment, she thrust her sword down and launched herself into the air. The thrust touched all the clones, immediately dispelling them. Landing, she activated a jutsu of her own.

"Earthbound jutsu!" Sand, water and rock mixed quickly around Konohamaru's feet, binding him to the ground. Again, she preformed a half dozen quick hand seals and activated another technique. The ground rumbled and a giant animated fist of stone cracked its way out of the ground and started squeezing Konohamaru.

"Earth Element: Fist of the Right!"

"That will be enough, Omey," called Tsunade's voice above the din. She looked at Shizune, and the stopwatch she held. 45 seconds start to finish, Tsunade reeled, fourty-five seconds to take out one of her most skilled chunnin. Omey cancelled the jutsu and a gasping Konohamaru fell limply to the ground. Shizune rushed out and took him off the field. She placed her green glowing hands on cracked and bruised ribs, but other than that the young chunnin was well. Omey sauntered off to the sidelines and plopped down in the soft grass and waited for the next match. Off to the other side, Kiba, Lee and Neji murmered amongst themselves and Naruto stood alone, a thoughtful look on his face. Suddenley, Lee trotted across the field towards Omey.

"Ah, Omey-san, would you perhaps be up for another match? Against myself."

Omey raised one of her eyebrows and looked at the green-clothed man, "You are jounin are you not?" Lee nooded, "then I accept." Lee offered her a hand, the gentleman he was and helped the younger lady to her feet. At the center of the field again, Lee bowed politely and stepped into his signature taijutsu stance. Omey took four giant steps and slid a pebble out of her kunai holster. In the other hand, she held her silver coloured cylinder. She threw the pebble into the air and preformed a one handed seal

"Shuriken Doton Bunshin no Jutsu!"

The pebble replicated into thousands, and began to decend toward the kunochi as she activated another jutsu and her sword

"Whirlwind of the Earth!"

She began to spin, the small rocks betting caught up in the tiny tornado she had become. With bullet-like speed they fired out at the jounin. Lee dodged left and right, up and down with ease. Her aim was good, but Lee was too fast, he continued to dodge, then getting low, began to run with chakra-enhanced speed around the younger nin. Seeing a perceived opening, the fuzzy-browed man slid in on his flank to attack her at the feet. A defensive burst of stones caused him to roll out of attacking range. He stood again, wincing in pain. He had taken a rock full force to his foot and damage had been done; The tiny bones of the foot were difficult to heal. Lee looked at the bottom of his shoe, and saw the pebble had gone almost all the way through the sole and was embedded deep inside.

On the side, Neji had activated his byakugan and was looking intently into the whirlwind. He watched as another batch of stones were created and began to fire. "She has superb control," he commented, "she is using almost no chakra to maintain the whirlwind technique and her pebble replication is as well practiced as Naruto's clone techniques. Quite interesting to watch. Lee will have to take off his weights to compete with that."

Kiba raised an eyebrow at this and smirked, "Even with them off, I don't know if he could win, anytime he would get close he would get shot."

"No, Lee's attack patterns are too fast for her to be anything resembling accurate when he is at full speed. And he never attacks quite head on, it is always at a little bit of an angle, incase he needs to deflect or parry an incoming maneuver. It is something he has done since his fight with Gaara of the Sand, he believes that he may not have been so seriously injured if he figured that out before." As if on cue, Lee bent over and took the weights off his ankles, and dropped them to the ground. He then removed another set from around his knees and tossed them aside. Finally, he removed massive ones from around his forearms. With a bright smile, he bolted, and started tearing circles around the whirlwind. Neji couldn't keep up, even with his advanced eyes. Naruto took this time to walk up to Neji, and, turning his back on the fight, muttered in Neji's ear.

"He will go for a top entry." With that, Lee vanished in a blur of speed. Pebbles flew out at random, then suddenly stopped. The whirlwind slowed and dissipated, and when the dust cleared, Lee was hunched over Omey, who was clutching at her shoulder. The young lady muttered curses and made her way pained to the two medic-nin, Lee following closely behind profusely apologizing.
