"Waiting is a drag," thought Konohamaru.
Konohamaru was waiting for his new team to gather at the Hyuga Mansion. It was 8:30 am and none of his students arrived yet. So, to pass the time, he started to draw pictures of birds and animals in his sketch book. Suddenly, a voice said, "Ohayo Konohamaru-kun!" Konohamaru looked through the gates to see it was his girlfriend, Hyuaga Hanabi.
"Ohayo Hanabi-chan!" replied Konohamaru as he closed his sketch book, "What are you up to today?"
"Nothing," said Hanbi as she opened the gate, "Just meeting my new students. What're you doing here?"
"Same as you," answered Konohamaru with a small snile, "Arashi said we could use the Hyuga training ground. Who's on your team?"
"Um," said Hanabi as she tried to remember,"Oh yeah! TeamEight! There's Neten, then Gai-sensei's child Sumiko, and Shino-san's son Raidon. How about you?"
"I got Team Seven," replied Konohamaru, "Arashi, Kakashi-sensei's kid Kei, and Sasuke's kid Seito. Oh look Hanabi, your team is here." Right on cue, Team Eight was walking to the Mansion together, Neten on the left, Sumiko in the middle, and Raidon on the right.
"Ohayo Hanabi-sensei," said Raidon in a dull tone whenTeam Eight reached the two Jounin.
"Hello Raidon," said Hanabi with a simple nod.
"Ohayo Hanabi-sensei!" greeted Sumiko while shaking Hanabi's hand, "We've been having good weather haven't we?"
"Uh," replied Hanabi who just sweatdropped, "Sure."
"Are you coming guys?" asked Neten as he walked through the gates.
"See ya Konohamaru-chan," said Hanabi as she hugged Konohamaru tenderly, "Come on guys, pick up the pace." Konohamaru watched as his girlfriend's team walked toward the training ground.
Konohamaru checked the watch on his wrist. It read 8:45. "Damn," muttered Konohamaru as he opened his sketch book again and continue to draw pictures. Five minutes later, a voice said, "Greetings Konohamaru-sensei."
Konohamaru closed his sketch book to see it was Kei. "Good morning Kei. Do you know where Arashi and Seito are?"
"No," replied Kei, "And frankly, I don't care." Kei proceeded to grab his book, Icha Icha Paradise, and started to read peacefully.
"Oh brother," said Konphamaru as he rummaged through his vest pockets, "You hate both of them, don't you Kei?"
"Pretty much," said Kei, "Arashi is just a waste of space and Seito is too similar to myself, so, I must hate him on impulse."
"Really?" asked Konohamaru, "You don't show hatred towards them most of the time."
"Well," said Kei while continuing his reading, "I show scorn towards Arashi on occasion and I know enough to not to mess with the heir of the Uchiha Clan."
Suddenly a voice yelled, "Yah!" In a matter of seconds, a kunai flew through the air and landed in front of Konohamaru. "Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique)!" yelled the voice. In a flash, Arashi appeared in the same spot as the thrown kunai. "Sup guys?" said Arashi as he flashed off a smile.
"Hello Arashi," replied Konohamaru with a smile. Kei merely nodded, acknowledging his existence.
"Konohamaru-sensei?" asked Arashi, "Where's Seito?"
"He's coming I'm sure," answered Konohamaru. In a puff of smoke, Seito appeared sitting on the wall.
"Hey Konohamaru-sensei?"asked Seito with a slight smirk, "When are we doing the test?"
"Right now!" cheered Konohamaru, "Let's go guys!"
"Wait Konohamaru-sensei!" yelled Kei.
"Hai?" asked Konohamaru, "What is it Kei?"
"Can I use the bathroom in the mansion?" asked Kei.
"Whatever," said Konohamaru, "The closest one is the one on the first floor, and be sure to knock. We'll wait for you at the training ground, come on boys!"
"Hai Konohamaru-sensei," replied Arashi and Seito as they followed Konohamaru.
When they were out of sight, Kei made a handseal and poofed in front of the first floor bathroom. Kei knocked the door and said, "Hello, is anyone in there?" There was no response, so, Kei walked in and shut the door. Kei took out a scroll and a kunai. Next, he lowered his mask a little bit, just enough to cut his skin and hide the cut. Then, he wiped some of the blood off with his thumb and wiped it on the scroll and said, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)!"
There was a poof, and a green chameleon man in a Jounin outfit appeared. "Kei!" said the chameleon as he gave Kei a light pat to the back, "What's up!"
"Nothing much Meimei," said Kei as he shrugged, "Listen, I need you to go invisible and follow me to the training ground, silently."
"Sure thing Kei!" replied Meimei as he disappeared, "Let's go!"
"Remember Meimei," said Kei as he bandaged his wound, "Silent."
"Sure," whispered Meimei.
"Good," said Kei as he lifted his mask back up, "Let's go." With a burst of smoke, the two poofed to a tree in the Hyuga Training ground. "Ok Meimei," whispered Kei, "Keep your chakra down and try to beas discrete as possible. If I need help, I'll retreat into the trees and you have to come looking for me once I do."
"Hai Kei," replied Meimei, "Hurry up to your team or you'll be late."
"Ok," whispered Kei, "Thanks Meimei." In another burst of smoke, Kei poofed next to Konohamaru. "Hey Konohamaru-sensei!"
Konohamaru turned to see Kei standing right next to him. "Uh," said Konohamaru, "Hello Kei. Ok, anyways, team, let me explain the test." Konohamaru dug through his pockets and exposed three silver bells. "There are three bells. Each of them will be guarded by a different force and will be scattered throughout the training grounds' forest. You must find one and obtain by almost any means necessary. Just don't do anything illegal ok. You guys get all that?"
"Hai," replied the three genin.
"Great," said Konmohamaru, "I'll be taking off now to hide the bells. It is now, 8:55. You have to wait to five minutes before you can begin your search, I suggest you take that time to prepare." With that done, Konohamaru disappeared and left the three genin.
The three genin just waited there forfive minutes, while checking their gear and taking some last minute training. Finally, the five minutes were done and the three went their own way.
"Ok," said Arashi as he stopped jumping tree to tree, "Byakugan!" Instantly, the veins around Arashi's eyes bulged out behind his black goggles as he scanned the area. Seconds later, he saw Konohamaru standing a hundred yards away from him. "Heh," chuckled Arashi, "Konohamaru-sensei's guarding one eh? Well, I guess I'll try to steal his as a last resort. What else is there?" Arashi continued to scan the area until he saw a cage. "A cage?" asked Arashi, "What's a cage doing out here? Oh well, might as well check it out." Arashi started to quicken his pace as he ran to the cage.
After a few minutes, Arashi finally reached the cage. "Wait a second," said Arashi, "Your that monkey guy that trapped Kitsune!"
"Thanks for being obvious kid," replied Kitsune sarcastically.
"Why're you in such a sour move fox?" asked Arashi mentally.
"I don't like being reminded of my losses," replied Kitsune simply.
"Are you gonna talk with me or what?" asked Arashi.
"He says he doesn't find you worthy of his grace of speech," said Kitsune.
"Oh yeah you stupid monkey!" yelled Arashi as he started to form the Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere), "Take this, Rasengan!" The Rasengan formed completely and Arashi ran towards the cage. Arashi slammed the Rasengan into the cage and caused an explosion that knocked back Arashi straight into the tree. "Aw!" groaned Arashi as he slowly got to his feet, "You suck you damn monkey!"
"He says you couldn't break a small glass vase with a hammer," said Kitsune who was obviously enjoying Arashi's rage.
"What!" yelled Arashi who just released his Kitsune chakra, "That's it! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu !" The smoke replaced one Arashi with twenty.
"Now everybody pair up!" yelled Arashi. In stantly there were ten pairs of Arashis standing next to each other. Suddenly, the ten pairs of Arashis worked with their partners to produce the Odama Rasengan. "Odama Rasengan!" yelled the Arashis as they surrounded the cageon all sides and slammed the attacks into the cage. There was a huge explosion that shook some of the surrounding trees out of the ground and caused Arashi to fly thirty yards into a rock. "Ah!" growled Arashi, "Can nothing destroy this cage!"
"How about trying something else?" asked Kitsune, "You know, the 'magic word'."
"What's that?" Arashi asked Kitsune.
"Oh for the love!" yelled Kitsune, "Please you freacking idiot!"
"Oh yeah!" said Arashi.
Arashi slowly rose from his position from the ground and walked away from the decimated rock. Arashi finally made it limped towards the cage and said, "Ok Enma-sama, I'm sorry I called you those mean things. Can you please give me the bell." There was a long pause and finally, Enma loosened his jutsu and returned into his regular form.
"There you go kid," replied Enma as he walked away.
He was stopped by Arashi saying, "You're just going to give to me like that? Why?"
"Because," replied Enma, "A ninja must think under pressure and see through deception. When one plan fails, a ninja must quickly think of a new one before they are killed. Did you honestly think being a ninja is all fun and games? You may have passed this test boy, but you have a long way to go before you can call yourself a shinobi." Enma continued his departure, leavinga stunned Arashi and headed to Konohamaru's location.
Meanwhile, Seito was searching for a bell as well. "Damn," said Seito as he jumped from tree to tree, "Where's a bell!" Seito continued his search until he saw a bell. "Finally," said Seito with relief. Seito jumped from the tree he was on and landed right in front of the bell. Before Seito could bend down and pick it up, a barrage of kunai were hurled on Seito's left side. "Shit!" yelled Seito as he jumped backwards to avoid the kunai. Just when he landed, another barrage of kunai headed to his right side.
"Damn!" yelled Seito as he dodged the other group of kunai. This process continued for fifty minutes, everytime Seito landed more kunai would fly at him. Unfortunately, Seito tripped on a small rock and tripped. Seito rolled on the ground until he was sitting against a tree. Suddenly, shurikens started to fly straight towards Seito. Seito closed his eyes and said, "So this is how it ends? I get killed by some simple traps? Damn it all! If I'm going to die, I'm going to face it like a man!" He opened his eyes to see that the shurikens disappeared. Not only that, but everything Seito saw was tinted red.
"What happened to the shuriken?" Seito asked himself mentally, "And why is everything reddish. Wait, could it be, of course! The Sharingan! Konohamaru-sensei must've cast a genjutsu on me! Damn it! How could I be so foolish! Oh well, I pass and get the Sharingan."
Seito deactivated his Sharingan and grabbed the bell. He then proceeded to dashing through the forest, because he only had five minutes of the test left.
At the same time as Seito's ordeal began, Kei just discovered his teacher talking to a monkey. Kei was currently hiding in a tree ten meters away from his sensei. Konohamaru was talking with Enma in the middle of the forest and Enma was standing on a nearby pool.
"What do you mean he passed!" moaned Konohamaru as Enma explained his failure, "You mean he broke through your Kongo Reheki?"
"No," replied Enma, "He didn't use force. He said please and I let him have the bell."
"Why?" asked Konohamaru, "Do you realize I have to have at least one student now? I was planning on failing them because I didn't want to be their sensei."
"Too bad," said Enma simply before he disappeared in smoke.
"Damn monkey," said Konohamaru under his breath as he pulled his sketch book out.
"Good," said Kei, "His summon is gone. Meimei, you here?"
"Yup," said Meimei as he revealed himself, who was standing next to Kei.
"Ok," said Kei as he started to think. After a few minutes he thought of a plan. "Meimei," said Kei, "Here's what we need to do. First, I'll use Bunshin no Jutsu to confuse him. Next I'll go underground with the Doton Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu (Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Technique) and grab the bell. After that, we run like hell."
"What if that doesn't work?" asked Meimei.
"Then I'll try something else," said Kei as he performed a seal, "Just wait for the signal if I need help."
"What is it?" asked Meimei.
"You'll figure it out," whispered Kei, "Bunshin no Jutsu!" Instantly, ten new Kei's appeared from smoke. "Go get him," Kei whispered to his clones. They nodded and rushed toward Konohamaru. Next Kei used Doton Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu to move underground and position himself under his sensei.
While Kei was underground, Konohamaru easily destroyed the clones. "Kei," sighed Konohamaru as he put away his sketch book, "Illusions won't be much help against a Konoha Jounin."
"This will!" yelled Kei as he jumped from the ground and attempted to grab one of the bells. Unfortunately, Konohamaru sidestepped his attack and gave him a clean punch to the gut. Kei was sent flying into a nearby tree, which causes a big dent to appear and big chunks of bark flying everywhere.
"Sorry Kei," replied Konohamaru, "You'll have to be more creative than that to get this bell."
"If you say so!" yelled Kei as he got to his feet and ran in front of the pond. Keiperformed some hand seals and cried, "Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu (Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique)!" Suddenly, water from the nearby pond formed into a dragon and launched itself at Konohamaru.
"What!" yelled Konohamaru as he dodged the dragon, "How does this kid know such an advanced move?"
Konohamaru landed right where Kei fell to the ground. Immediately after he landed, Konohamaru was splashed with a ton of water. "Ah!" groaned Konohamaru as the water hit his face. Konohamaru was blinded for a few seconds but managed to recover. "Where's Kei," mumbled Konohamaru as he seached the newly formed mist. Suddenly, Konohamaru sensed a huge amount of chakra near him and heard the chirping of birds. "Who's chakra is that!" yelled Konohamaru, "No, it couldn't be, not that technique!"
"It is!" yelled Kei as he shot through the mist and headed straight towards Konohamaru, right hand bursting with chakra, "Take this, Chidori (One Thousand Birds)!" Kei lunged his right hand into the chest of his sensei, perfectly executing the Chidori.
After a few seconds, the Chidori vanished from Kei's hand, and Konohamaru fell to the ground. Kei had a look of triumph on his face, not that you could tell from behind his mask, but quickly vanished when Konohamaru burst into smoke and was replaced by a huge piece of bark. "No," whispered Kei to himself silently, "He used Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique). Which means..."
"Your Chidori failed," finished Konohamaeu who was standing behind Kei, "Very impressive though Kei."
Kei just stood there as if his feet were cemented to the ground. "I see," said Konohamaru as he pulled out three senbonand held two in both hand and one in his mouth, like Genma, and said, "Cat got your tongue. Well let's see how you handle this."
"Shit," thought Kei as beads of sweat formed on his face, "Which powerful technique of his will he use to defeat me?"
"Yah!" yelled Konohamaru as he poked Kei's ass cheeks withboth of his senbons.
"Ah!" yelled Kei as he shot through the air. Kei flew for a few seconds before landing with both feet on the pond's surface. When he was sure he could stand on the water, Kei rubbed his ass and said, "What the hell was that for!"
"It was funny!" laughed Konohamaru, "Plus, I put some stuff on the needle tips to make you fall asleep."
"What!" yelled Kei as he ran towards Konohamaru, "That's cheating!" Kei threw a right hook at Konohamaru, but he caught it with his left hand.
"I'm the teacher Kei," replied Konohamaru as he twirled the senbon in his mouth, "I decide what's fair."
"Shut up!" yelled Kei as he aimed a left hook at Konohamaru. Unfortunately for him, Konohamaru caught it with his other hand.
"Take this!" yelled Konohamaru as he spit the senbon at Kei. The needle piecred Kei's neck and made him wince in pain.
Kei jumped back and pulled out the senbon out of his neck and yelled, "Baka! Where'd you learn to spit senbon like that?"
"A Jounin named Genma taught me," replied Konohamaru who placed another senbon in his mouth.
"Whatever," replied Kei as he slid down his mask to reveal his face. He placed a kunai in his mouth and grabbed two kunai with his hands.
"Ah," said Konohamaru, "I see you don't hide your face as much as your father."
"That's right," replied Kei as he dashed towards Konohamaru. Kei attacked wildly with his kunai, taking wild swings with both arms and mouth. It was all in vain, as Konohamaru merely sidestepped all the attacks. After a few seconds, Konohamaru performed a roundhouse kick which knocked away the kunai in Kei's hands.
Angered, Kei threw two punches, one from each hand, but they were easily caught by Konohamaru. "Kei you disappoint me," sighed Konohamaru as he twisted Kei's hands, "I thought the son of Sharingan Kakashi would be better trained than this."
Growling in pain, Kei turned his head to the right, which caused the kunai's sharp point tobe aimed at Konohamaru's head, and threw the kunai with his mouth. Konohamaru deflected the kunai with the senbon in his mouth. "Damn you," groaned Kei drowisly as the sleepingserum started to take effect.
Konohamaru responded by slightly pushing Kei, which caused Kei to fall on his back. "See ya Kei," said Konohamaru as he walked back toward the meeting place, "I'm going to go congratulate the winners."
Konohamaru was walking away when he sensed some chakra being used. Konohamaru turned around to see Kei performing some seals. "You're not getting away that easily sensei," said Kei wearilyas he finished the seals, "Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu!" Once again the water dragon rose from the water slowly.
In response to the dragon, Konohamaru quickly performed some seals and cried, "Katon:Karyu Endan (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet)!" A fire dragon was blown out of the mouth of Konohamaru. The water dragon was completely formed and lunged striaght at the fire dragon. The fire dragon did the same and the two dragons were reduced to a mist of hot steam.
A few minutes passed, and nothing happened. No fighting, no kicking, just silence.
"The kid is probably asleep," thought Konohamaru, "Guess the stuff worked after all."
Konohamaru was about to walk away, when a voice said, "Take this!" Kei jumped from the mist and attempted anaerial right hook to Konohamaru.
Konohamaru caught it with ease and said, "Is that all Kei?" Kei responded with a kick from his right foot. Konohamaru blocked it with the same arm he held Kei's fist.
"Ah!" cried Kei as he aimed a left hook at Konohamaru, which Konohamaru caught with his free hand.
"Are you done yet?" asked Konohamaru with a bored expression on his face, "I've got a date with Hanabi-chan."
"Nope," said Kei with a tired look on his face, "Meimei now!" Suddenly the bell around Konohamaru's pants were gone. Before he could react, he received a kick to the gut which sent him flying into the pond and releasing Kei. Konohamaru rose to the surface and coughed, "Who kicked me?"
"Me," replied what appeared to be Kei but it was really a water clone. The clone stood by Konohamaru and performed a few quick hand seals. Then he cried, "Suiro no Jutsu (Water Prison Technique)!" The Kei clone formed a bubble around Konohamaru and stuck his hand inside it, imprisoning Konohamaru.
"Impressive Kei," said Konohamaru, "How did you manage to grab the bell and trap me in this jutsu?"
"I'll tell you," said Kei sleepily as he fell to his knees, "So lang as you pass me."
"Of course!" said Konohamaru with a smile, "Now spill the beans!"
"Very well," replied Kei as he placed his hands on the ground to support himself, "When our dragons collided I took the time to make a clone to imprison you. I made him water walk on top of the pool after I made him. Then I rushed towards you and distracted you with my onslaught."
"That doesn't explain we taking a swim," replied Konohamaru, still smiling.
"My summon, or rather my partner, Meimei took the bell from you and kicked you into the water,"said Kei as Meimei revealed himself, "Once you landed in the water, my clone usedSuiro no Jutsu to put you inyour current, predicament."
"Impressive," replied Konohamaru, "But to make a summoning, it takes much chakra. How come I couldn't sense it?"
"I waited a long time for you to be in the training ground," said Kei who fell to the ground, "Then, I summoned Meimei while I was in the bathroom."
"Ha," laughed Konohamaru, "You're wise beyond your years Kei! You pass!" Kei responded with a loud snore.
"Yes it worked!" laughed Konohamaru and then he asked the clone, "Could you let me go now?"
"Why should I?" asked the clone. Suddenly, the clone evaporated into water as Meimei threw a big ass shuriken at it. Konohamaru was released and fell into the pond once more and swam out.
"Thanks Meimei-san," replied Konohamaru as he bowed in respect.
"No problem!" said Meimei as he bursted into smoke and returned to his world.
Konohamaru dried himself off and lifted Kei off the ground. Konohmaru out Kei over his back and walked off to the meeting place.
When Konohamaru reached the meeting place, he could see Arashi on the ground looking at the clouds and Seito just came into view. Konohamaru walkedover to his students and asked, "Yo, you guys get a bell?"
"Hai," replied the two boys as turned to see their sensei.
"Great," sighed Konohamaru mentally and sarcastically, "I got myself a Genin team. Yay responsibility!"
"That's great!" replied Konohamaru as he put on a fake facade. He put down Kei on the ground and said, "Ok, now I want to see you to spar in Taijutsu. I'd like you to keep it up for an hour. Understood?"
"Hai," replied the two conscious boys.
"Good," said Konohamaru, "After you're done, you can leave. Oh yeah, could one of you take Kei home and tell him to meet at the Ichiraku's at 8:00 am. We'll be having breakfast there as a team everyday, unless we have a mission."
"Yay!" cheered Arashi.
"Cool," replied Sito with a smile, "But why?"
"I'm just that generous," laughed Konohamaru.
This chapter is done. Sorry it took so long, I've been lazy. Anyways if I get anything wrong, like jutsus, then please forgive me. Other than that, R&R and no flames.
