Chapter 5: The New Team 7. The Pervert and the Medic
'Man this day really sucks…', its true…at least for Yami it was.
First, he gets his ass kicked by the woman that was suppose to be his sensei. 'Also breaks my damn Fuuma shurikan'. Next he is surrounded by this weird energy after being mouthed off to by some bastard. 'What the hell was that?' Third, said bastard kicks his ass. Fourth, he gets attacked by another bastard and is forced to fight said bastard. Fifth, he has a huge ass headache. Oh! and a sword is being held against his throat. 'This really sucks…'
Suddenly the blade is removed from his neck. Yami's heartbeat slows down. He turns to look at his attacker. The boy had already sheathed his swords; both horizontally on the back of his hips, each hilt pointing out to each side of the boy. 'He could easily grab both blades in each hand that way.'
Not sensing any more danger, Yami folds his Fuuma and attaches it to the back of his belt. "Why did you attack me", asked a slightly annoyed Yami.
The boy smirked and said, "Wanted to test you, the Tsukikage said you were good."
Yami raised his eyebrow, "Test me for what?"
"The Genin Exams are in six months, I need a third member to join me and my teammate. I know you failed your second genin exam so I wanted to invite you to join my team."
"How could you possibly know I failed my genin exam? It only happened about two hours ago."
"Actually I've known for about two days now", said the boy smirking.
Yami's eyes widened "WHAT!"
"You were set up to fail ever since you took your first genin exam."
"WHAT!"
"Afraid so…"
"I need to speak to the Godaime." With that Yami starts walking off.
"WAIT!" The boy grabs Yami's arm. "You have to believe me when I say the kage didn't want this, it was the council and some jounins that forced his hand. Please just hear me out before you go mental."
Yami was fuming… "Alright…", he said through gritted teeth.
"Follow me." The boy walks off. Yami follows.
---Cliff over looking village---
The duo came out of the forest and went up a trail, they came up on a cliff nears the outskirts of Tsukigakure's territory; on one of the mountains that surrounded Tsukigakure. 'Not a real accurate description though, the village is completely surruounded by a mountain range.'
The youth walked up to the edge of the cliff. The boy had pulled out a Hiaete and wrapped it around his neck. This specific cliff was about six stories above the village. 'Nice spot', mentally commented Yami.
It was a nice spot there was a tree at the spot where the boy went to…He sat down and leaned against the tree. There were a few large stones in the area, other than that the spot was completely open. There was about a twenty sq. meter area. There were two trails heading away from it, the one they came from going down and another going up. The area seemed very sturdy.
Yami opted to sit on one of the stones. "Well you going to talk?"
"My name is Ookami Hanone (Wolf Fang)"
"Hanone". The Tsukikage told him about the Hanone Family, and just about every other family and clan in Tsukigakure at one point or another. The Kage wanted to make sure Yami had some knowledge if he ever got ready to become a clan head. The Hanone family, some times called the warriors of the fang, was a weapon-based family of ninja. They didn't live in a clan home for some reason; supposedly the family was wealthy enough to afford it. None of the Heads ever cared to have any true political power, though most ninjas did respect their views. Like the Gekkani, they concentrated on weapons; but unlike the Gekkani they would concentrate on any weapon that had a blade on it, not just katanas. 'Ookami seems to prefer wakizashis.'
"Well, tell me what this is all about!", snapped Yami. He was still a little annoyed at what was happening.
"This spot is so beautiful…"
"Huh?"
"Don't you think? It's perfect to just come here and relax…best spot in the village to meditate in…"
Yami stared at him…He had a peaceful smile on his face.
"Yea I guess your righ-"
"Don't tell me you actually believe that load of crap!", said an unknown voice.
Yami turned to see a new boy coming up from the trail they just came from. Said had short blue hair and bright purple eyes. And had his Hiaete tied around his neck. He had on a white, sleeveless, coat; dark blue,sleeveless, shirt; dark blue pants; and white sneakers. A number of pouches were attached to his belt. Lastly he was donned in a pair of glasses. 'Wait…', Yami's eyes widened a bit '…his eyes are pupiless…a Hizuuga?'
"Umm what do you mean…?", Yami asked clueless.
"You actually believe he thinks this spot is beautiful, you actually believe he comes up here to meditate?", asked the Hizuuga however seeing his clueless expression he continued with a frown, "Ookami's mother is from the Takaboushi, he has the Bouenkyougan(telescope eye). And well…from that spot he has a perfect view of the woman's bathhouse."
A slight tinge of pink colored Yami's cheeks. He looked over at the other boy, the peaceful expression he once had was actually a perverted lecherous expression. He could see the silver-headed boy's eyes…the pupils were reflective, looked like mirrors, the sign of an activated Bouenkyougan. A trickle of blood ran down Ookami's nose.
Yami slapped his hand to his forehead. The Hizuuga laughed, "Sorry to destroy your view on Ookami, but I thought you had a right know what you were getting yourself into. If you decide to team up with us that is. Oh! Where are my manners? My name is Inochi (Life) Hizuuga."
"Yami Hikari."
The pervert…um…Ookami spoke for the first time in a while…not tearing his gaze for a second. "Anyway Yami…what your about to hear is top secret. You can't speak this to anyone except the Tsukikage…oh and I think the academy teachers all know this to…", Ookami saw Yami nod out of the corner of his eye "…its simple with all the deaths that occur to a lot of the rookies, the council has tried to limit graduation of many genin over the last few years. It's not because they are old decrepit bastards with sticks up their asses, although that is true, it's because they are trying to cut back on death rates. Since they only allow about one-third of the students to pass on to become genin, the council wanted to pick the ones they viewed as having the most potential. Unfortunately, you don't fit into that category, according to them at least. The Tsukikage believes otherwise…him and one of the teachers came to us and recommended you to us."
Yami digested this information for a while… "Ok I can understand that. It makes sense."
Inochi snorted, "Yea on paper it makes sense…but in truth…it doesn't work…the death rate remains the same. They've been trying this approach for about ten years now. But nothing's changed. It'll be fine though…the current council has been getting in the way of many things the Tsukikage has been wanting to do…the council is losing there influence and the Tsukikage is gaining even more influence. Pretty soon the old grumps will lose all their influence."
Ookami spoke, "It's also the reason we're allowed to make this unofficial team…if we can show the other ninja how wrong the council are about us it will hurt there credibility. Only the kage, a select few chunins and jounins, and some clan heads know about us."
Yami thought about some things he's heard Megumi say. Its true the council has gotten in the way of many things. Twenty years ago Iwagakure (rock) sent an invitation of an alliance to Tsukigakure (moon) and Sunagakure (sand). Iwagakure wanted to join them to fight off Otogakure (sound). The council forced the kage's hand and forced the village to stay out of it. Since Tsukigakure stayed out of it Sunagakure stayed out also, Sunagakure has been allied to Tsukigakure ever since the first Tsukikage and the fifth Kazekage. The council was afraid…they were afraid of the power of Otogakure. Iwagakure and Otogakure were almost evenly matched for two whole years. On the third year Kusagakure (grass) allied themselves with Otogakure. The tables turned on Iwagakure…slowly but surely Iwagakure disintegrated. Some ninjas ran away to other villages, most joined the Oto nins, the ones who didn't run died. The war was over in a little less than four years…it was such a huge screw up on the council's part…everyone knew it…four years later the Otogakure not only recovered but also grew much stronger. Luckily Otogakure wouldn't even think about attacking them. They still had Sunagakure and more recently Yukigakure (snow).
"This is a lot to take in…", said Yami rubbing his head. 'Add that to the constant head ache I've had ever since the survival test.' "How did you guys find this stuff out?"
"My father is one of the Tsukikage's dearest friends", stated the Hizuuga. "The Kage figures a clan head has to stay well informed…"
Yami stared… "You're a clan heir?"
Inochi chuckled, "No…My elder brother is…it's better that way...without my byakkugan." He muttered that last part.
Yami stared, "You don't have the Byakkugan?"
Inochi sighed, "Well I do but my eyes are bad", he says pointing at his glasses, "…it's the reason the council thought me to be a lost cause last year…", Inochi sighed again, "It's a long story…one I really don't feel like telling at the time."
Ookami spoke up, "So Yami here's their deal, you team up and we go start doing C-rank missions-." He was interrupted.
"What! C-rank missions? Aren't we supposed to start with D-rank ones?", asked the Pyschic.
"Usually, but since we're not a normal genin team the Tsukikage is cutting us some slack. He wouldn't have recommended you if he didn't think you were ready…Besides we won't be going alone, we'll be teaming up with one or two chunin on each mission since we don't have a jounin sensei."
"How'd you get the kage to agree to that."
Ookami smirked, "We made a deal…if I could defeat a chunin in a one on one fight, my genin team could take on C-rank missions right off the back."
Yami's eyes widened, "You defeated a chunin!"
Ookami smirk widened, "Yup."
Inochi snorted, "Don't encourage him, the only reason he won was because his opponent was a pervert." Seeing Yami's confused stare he continued, "He recreated a technique not used in a few decades…There was only one person that I know of that used that technique, Naruto-sama."
Yami's eyes widened, "Sexy no Jutsu".
Inochi shook his head. "Nope much worse, a toned down Harem no Jutsu."
"I don't think I've heard of that one." (Yami)
"It's basically the same except the user creates Kage Bunshins (shadow clones) before they transform, afterwards the transformed Kage Bunshins glomp the enemy. Now since Ookami didn't know Kage Bunshin no jutsu he had to replace it with just regular Bunshin no jutsu, instead of the transformed Bunshins glomping the target they glomp each other…Men fall for it every time", Inochi finished explaining his face a little pink.
Ookami was smirking the whole time, still facing the same direction he had been facing the whole time. "Yep, I defeated him that way. Old pervert never stood a chance."
Yami glared at him, "You're actually calling someone else a pervert?"
Ookami smirked, "Oh, I'm not a pervert" he said. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Yami glaring at him; he jumped up and went into a ridiculous stance, "I AM A SUPER PERVERT."
Yami and Inochi could only stare at him a large sweat drop protruding out of their heads.
Ookami laughed and said, "Well kid…so you got a choice…hang with us…or go back to the academy."
Both Inochi and Ookami stared at him waiting for a response. Yami thought to himself, 'Anything is better than going back to the academy, the Kage and Megumi seem to have faith in me, and it be nice show those old farts up.' "Alright, I'm in", nodded the psychic.
The other two smiled. Inochi spoke, "First things first, you have to pick a ninjutsu element." Yami stared at him questiongly. Inochi sighed a continued, "Both of us picked an element to well…keep are selves balanced. I'm learning lightning jutsu. Ookami is learning wind."
Yami thought for a while, 'I'm probably going to have to fight Kitsune and Kasai in the genin exams. The two of them seem to be into fire based ninjutsu.' "Ok I'll concentrate around water. I'll grab some scrolls from the library and work them into my training regiment."
"Actually I'll get you some scrolls from the Hizuuga private library. They have explanations on how to perform the techniques and will make them much easier to learn." (Inochi)
"Ok the sounds great. But is that ok with your family?" (Yami)
"My father doesn't mind. He understands the situation I'm in and he sees my potential, so he lets me do whatever I want as long as I bring the scrolls back." (Inochi)
"Ok so here's how this team is breaking down", starts Ookami, "I got Kenjutsu, with my Wakizashis; advance marksmanship, with my Bouenkyougan; and I gotta start learning wind style ninjutsu."
"Yep", nods Inochi, "and I'll be the Medical Nin in our group; I'll also disrupt genjutsu, if we ever run into one; I've also grown accustomed to using traps; My element is lightning."
They both started at the Psychic, who only nodded.
"I got taijutsu," he said raising his fists to his face, "I'm pretty good with my Fuuma shurikan; I'll be learning water jutsu; and…", Yami hesitated for a few seconds… 'They are my teammates, I probably should tell them…' he looked up to see his teammates staring at him patiently, 'yes', "…and you should probably know something about me." The other two stared at him expectantly. Yami sighed and extended his arm, with his hand facing upwards. His eyes turned silver. A small rock that is on the ground starts moving and suddenly starts to rise up. Ookami eyes widen at the floating rock, but Inochi doesn't even raise an eyebrow. The rock moves and rests on Yami's hand.
"Yea I already guessed you were a psychic." Yami stares at him questiongly. "I saw you in the battle against the dunce, with the katana. You froze his kunai, and explosive note, in mid air", explained the medic.
"You saw that!" Inochi only nodded.
"Oh so that's how you tripped me…" stated the swordsman. Yami only nodded. "Well that's it for today…you probably want to go speak with the Kage or your teacher for today… and I'm getting tired. I'm going to ask the Tsukikage for a mission tomorrow, so both of you be at the tower early", stated Ookami, ignoring Yami's groan at the word early. With that he walked back to his original position. The edge of the cliff, with his back against the tree.
'Pervert', thought an agitated pyshic and medic.
"I better get home, father will be waiting." With that the medic was on his way.
Yami turned to Ookami, "Hey! I'll be leaving to… I'll see you tomorrow." With that he left as well.
---Yami---
Yami was thinking about everything that's happened thus far…only one word came to his head, 'Troublesome…'
However, after remembering his teammates he came to a small decision. He untied his Hiaete and retied it around his neck. Afterwards he retied his blood red headband, its straps going down behind his head.
'What have I gotten myself into…'
A/N: Well that's it for that chapter…if anyone's wondering I'll try to talk about the Hizuuga in the next chapter. And next chapter will be Team 7s new mission. Geez…only have one view…well I guess it is only the third day…hope to get more in soon…Well here's the team line up so far.
