Chapter 3 - What Works? Teamworks
Mari was the last genin to awaken, she lightly shook her head to get rid of the fog in her mind before looking around sunglasses still on her face. "So why are we tied to the.." she chirped before being abruptly cut off by the purple-haired Jonin "you are all a long fucking way from where you should be and where we need you to be." The Jonin exacerbated a sigh whilst speaking. "You" she pointed at Kasai "should have been promoted almost two years ago but here you are, do you know why?" the white-haired genin shrugged but still exclaimed "well yey my teamma.." he started to say before a kunai landed between his legs causing him to sweat and let out a scared swallow. "You're an idiot," she interjected. "I can already tell after watching you for five minutes and fighting you all for one that Kasai your problem is that you strive to be better than you are and that is a good thing normally but you let it get in your way and you only have half a mind on the fight." the three genin looked shocked at how quickly the aging jonin broke down the white-haired genins problems. "Oh, I'm Anko Mitarashi, your Jonin instructor for the next three months."
With the new information the genin looked at each other and her even more confused. Mari blurted out "Why only three months isn't that a bit quick" in response Anko laughed before letting out a sly and wicked grin. "I was told all of you are remarkable gennin and for one reason or another have gained the interest of some higher-ups, so if I can't get you to be chunin ready for the next exam I will beat you out of Konoha's military am I understood brats" The wide-eyed genin all nodded along dumbstruck by the new sensei.
"So our plan for the foreseeable future is training and after two weeks of mainly teamwork training as you all are shit at it we will do the bell test. If your brats fail to get even one of the bells off me, we do a week of D-rank missions with no pay" The three kids look at each other and back at Anko with the shock and realization of the situation set in.
Anko burst into smoke leaving the genin dumbfounded and still tied to posts. After a few moments Mari began to tense and strain against the rope and stump behind her, with a quick yell she burst out of the binds. She left a destroyed and splinted stump and a snapped rope. The other two gennin looked at the freakish display of strength with shock and awe. "How the fuck did you do that" proclaimed Kasai.
"I'm strong" Mari humbly proclaimed while rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. Before long she sent two kunai through the ropes that bound the other genin. "So we have two weeks to work together to at least push a Jonin hard enough for us to get a bell off her" Mari exclaimed as if checking that is what she indeed heard her new sensei say. Her response was a nod from Kasai and Hana. The later of the two seemed quiet and had a sadder demeanor than when they first met. "Is everything ok Hana?" Mari and Kasai worriedly asked in unison.
"It's fine .. I am fine and let's leave it at that" Hana abruptly responded, "We don't have time for this shit we have to improve as a team and probably individually if we stand a chance" she continued in an abrasive manner. "Tomorrow we meet either here or outside the village and train till we collapse," Hana definitively proclaimed.
The two older genin looked at each other before deciding to just go along with the demands of the younger genin. "Alright we can meet here, I doubt Anko-sensei hasn't done her homework on us so no point trying to be discrete" Kasai sighed in agreement. (not that they could be discrete from a Jonin like Anko)
"So it's settled? Tomorrow 7 am this spot" Mari said with a fire in her eyes. "And we are gonna train until we can kick Anko-sensei's butt" This loud proclamation seems to start to light a fire under the other two genin.
