Shioon's POV

When lunch was over they returned to the classroom. Jounins were waiting for them when they entered. Hayate gave them a small smile as they noticed him off to the side.

Noticeably missing was Team 7s jounin. Ha Ill looked annoyed about it as did the Uchiha boy. Shioon had to feel bad for his retainer. The blond had a short temper for those he believed were idiots. There was a strong chance that his team would fall under that category.

Iruka said with a smile, "With this, you can go with your jounins. Team 7 Kakashi will be by sometime today. He is habitually late and there is no telling when he will arrive. Good luck to you all."

Hayate ordered calmly, "Follow me."

They followed the jounin out of the Academy and into town. When they passed civilians and just like in the morning they were given disgusted looks. Even with a jounin by their side, they were mistrusted. It was mainly for Naruto being by their side.

Naruto kept his head high as they walked through the village. Shioon was proud of his friend. It took courage to not show fear or anger in such a situation.

To their surprise, they were taken to the 4th training ground. It was an open field like where Hayate trained them in swordsmanship.

It was only when they were sitting comfortably in the grass did he begin, "Normally we would go to one of the training grounds and go through a test. The test would see if you are compatible as a team and if you would work together. However, I choose the three of you based on your skills and compatibility. So unlike other teams, we will not be going through this test. Instead, we will be doing a one on one spar. You can use any weapon or jutsu in repitar. I want to see what all that you can do. Shioon you're first."

Shioon jumped to his feet and let his muscles loosen. This would be the first person that wasn't Ha Ill that he really let himself go all out against. It would be interesting to test his skills against a jounin. That and his ki and magic were starting to get anxious. Time to let loose.

They went to a safe distance from the other genins. If things got out of control they didnt really want to hurt anyone.

Only a brief nod passed between them. Then Hayate drew his sword but Shioon didnt give him a chance to go after him. Instead, he used Jin to bring himself close to Hayate.

As he went to strike his mentor a hand grasped his wrist. Then promptly tossed him into the air. Instinctively he righted himself and went for a focus step.

Hayate dodged out of the way but Shioon kept on the attack. Using another foot technique he once again tried to get close. Only to need to retreat as Hayate drew his sword.

With a grin, he brought his hands up into a familiar hand sign and said, "Shadow Clone jutsu."

Three clones popped into existence from his chakra. Hayate didn't bother to hesitate as he began a familiar set of katas. The same ones that he had been teaching both Shioon and Naruto.

He ducked and dodged around the sword. Euphoria flooded his veins as he fought with Hayate. Letting one's ki from its binds gave off a feeling like no other. But playtime was over. It was time to give the jounin a real taste of what his ki could do.

During the fight, his body had automatically been purifying his ki. A process that was instinctual as soon as a fight began. More than half of his reserves were ready to be used by the laws of Enlightenment of Thunder and Lightning. A freeform style or not it still had laws it had to obey.

Lighting coursed up and down his body. A look of interest crossed the jounin's in return. He brought his hand up at the same time he sheathed his sword.

"Shadow clone jutsu."

Two clones appeared before him. Shioon used Tweh to retreat cautiously. Not allowing the lightning to retreat he watched Hayate warily. What was he planning?

Then the two clones rushed towards him. Shioon ducked and dodged around the two clones. He barely could keep up with them even with ki fueled movements.

He heard a growled, "Dance of the Crescent Moon!"

Cold steel touched the soft part of his throat. The brown eyes met his green ones. They were colder than what Shioon was used to. All he could do was release his ki and hope that he won't be injured for this.

Then suddenly the brown eyes cleared. The blade was removed from his throat.

Hayate smiled as he praised, "Well done young Lee. You made me use one of my best techniques. Not many people especially a genin can say that."

Shioon ducked his head a blush dusting his cheeks. Then Hayate said, "Alright, Uzumaki you're up next."

Shioon went to sit beside Shikamaru to watch the next match. Naruto seemed to think that overwhelming Hayate with sheer numbers was his best plan. He knew that wouldn't work in the long run.

Sure enough, after a few moments, Hayate had his sword at the hallow of Naruto's throat. Then it was Shikamaru's turn. Both Naruto and Shioon watched with interest. To date neither had seen the other boy fight with any seriousness. It had always been in taijutsu.

Shioon's eyes caught a flicker of shadows at the boy's feet. Whatever he was about to do had to with those. He was sure of it.

With a quick nod, they began. Hayate tried to lunge at Shikamaru but barely took a step before he had to retreat. Shadows lunged out of them along the ground. The shadows chased after the jounin.

They watched as Hayate dodged and avoided the shadow. He was very careful about avoiding anything that had shadows around them. Out of the three of them, Shikamaru lasted the longest. Eventually, his chakra stores ran out though. As soon as that happened he too had a sword at his throat.

When all three of them were sitting in the grass. Hayate began, "All of you did very well. Naruto you and I need to work on your control more. You have the stamina to keep up with jounin's but without control, we can sense which one is the real you. When the chakra is spread evenly throughout the clones it's impossible to tell without attacking them. Shioon you need less control training than Naruto but we need to work on adding more jutsu to your repitar. Shikamaru your main thing is stamina. I will teach all three of you as many jutsu as I think you can handle. Training will be rough but it will benefit you in the long run. Go to sleep we will begin at 6 am tomorrow."
