The Black Leaves

Chapter 15

The next day, at the academy...

Naruto was sitting in his usual seat, next to Hinata and The Prayer, and was waiting for Iruka to come in and give his last lecture to the class. When Naruto arrived that morning and showed Hinata his new headband, she smiled brightly and congratulated him.

Now, though, she was secretly reading one of Tenten's perverted guide books using her byakugan. The book was hidden underneath her desk and and was flipped open to a section labeled, How to Congratulate your Man. Hinata was currently reading a part about allowing one's partner to perform anal sex, when Iruka walked into the classroom.

The rest of the students did not appear to react to Iruka's presence in the least. Especially Inuzuka Kiba, who was telling, more like yelling, a dirty joke to Sasuke and Shino.

Iruka calmly scanned his eyes across the room before taking a large breath. "SHUT UP!" He shouted louder than any of the other students had ever heard him. Because Mizuki was killed just yesterday, the academy was unable to find a replacement instructor for the late chunin in such a small margin of time. Luckily, today was the last day of class and the academy would be closed until the next group of ninja hopeful would arrive in about a month.

After his outburst, all sound in the classroom ceased. Not even Nighmare's soft groaning breaths were heard. Every genin's attentio instantly focused on the scared chunin, who smirked at the reaction he had caused in his ex-students.

"Thank you. Now then, you have all graduated from the academy and..." Iruka began to lecture. So, Naruto decided to do what he always did whenever Iruka was lecturing, sleep. Naruto placed his head down onto his desk and closed his eyes. Unfortunately, the instant Naruto closed his eyes Hinata whispered his name.

"Yeah, Hinata? What is is?" He asked, trying to hide the slight bit of irritation he had with her interrupting his future nap.

Hinata gulped and summoned every ounce of courage she had. "I know i-it is a little late, b-but w-would you l-like to go c-celebrate our g-graduation t-tonight?" Though nobody could see it, Hinata's blush reached past her breasts. This was the first step to gaining Naruto's love, and keeping him away from that blond-haired bimbo.

Naruto smiled brightly at the Hyuuga and replied, "Sure Hinata. Iruka-sensei was being a jerk yesterday and said that he was too busy with preparing for next semester's students." Naruto leaned in a little closer to the blushing Hinata and whispered directly into her ear. "I think he's really secretly going out with someone. For the past few weeks I've seen Iruka-sensei and Sakura-chan's mother together in his office and last week I saw Sakura-chan's mom bring a boxed lunch with her. She had a giant smile on her face."

Though Naruto tried to be as silent as possible, the local gossip, a.k.a. Ino, overheard Naruto's claim and decided to pass it on to the person sitting next to her. And, as all rumors are prone to be, this little tidbit of information was past throughout the class from person to person and was exaggerated more and more. That is, until it reached the ears of one Haruno Sakura.

Sakura stood straight up and slammed her hands on her desk, interrupting Iruka's lecture and bringing the classes attention to her. "IRUKA-SENSEI! HOW COULD YOU TRY AND FORCE MY MOTHER TO LEAVE MY FATHER!" She screamed at the top of her lungs while pointing an accusing finger at the academy instructor. This was fallowed by murmuring throughout the class.

"What are you talking about, Sakura?" Iruka asked, completely confused by the young girls sudden accusation.

"Don't play dumb with me Iruka-sensei. Tori just told me that you were seen trying to seduce my mother a few days ago and have been meeting with her for the past few weeks."

Iruka looked at Sakura dumbly for a moment, then regained his composure. "I don't know how somebody would come up with such a brash conclusion to seeing me with your mother, Sakura. But believe me when I say, I am not trying to seduce your mother in any way, shape or form. I have been meeting with her about some serious issues that I am not at liberty to announce right now." The instructor tried to explain.

Meanwhile, as the class was focusing on Mrs. Haruno's alleged affair with Mr. Umino, Nightmare was more focused on Hinata's question to Naruto. She growled when Naruto accepted Hinata's proposal and gripped her bed sheets tightly in her charred hands.

'Its not fair!' She screamed inside her head, 'Its just not fair! We've known Lord Venom much longer then that Hyuuga girl. He promised to help us first! Hinata is just going to have to wait her turn!' She slowly, and very carefully, began to move her right leg in an effort to get out of the bed. Unfortunately, the pain was too much for the young symbiote to bear and she reluctantly stopped moving.

Feeling the movement on her back, The Prayer twisted her horrific head behind her and inside the white curtains of Nightmare's bed. "What...Is...Matter?" The Prayer asked in her normal broken way of speaking. It was very difficult for The Prayer to speak, almost, correctly to Naruto the day before; but she was able to successfully because of the Otherworld creature's, and Nightmare's, desire to impress Venom's host.

Nightmare sent a glare at the direction of Hinata and growled. Naruto heard the low rumble and, with everyone distracted by the earlyer comment, silently shoved his head between Nightmare's bed sheets.

"Anything wrong Nightmare?" He asked with genuine concern in his voice. Before he could react, Naruto's whole body was yanked onto Nightmare's bed by her intestine. He tried to catch himself, but the female symbiote's organ forced the ninja into an awkward position above her. His hands were on either side of her head and her legs were in between his.

"N-Nightmare! What are you doing!" He whispered in an effort to not bring any attention to either of them. The Prayer retracted her head from between the curtains to keep an eye on the loud class.

Nightmare's organ tightened slightly as she gazed at him. Her single undamaged eye begged him to not forget his promise. Somehow, Naruto's idiocy disappeared for a moment and he smiled softly and gripped Nightmare's intestine and gave it a firm, reassuring, squeeze. His shocked eyes softened into a gentle and caring gaze. Nightmare would have blushed at the sexy figure if her injures did not prevent her from doing do.

"Don't worry Nightmare. I have not forgotten my promises to you. Both of them," His gentle voice sent a pleasurable shock wave through the girl's young body. She was surprised that not an ounce of pain was felt. Despite the good feeling coursing through her body, Nightmare glanced at Naruto in slight confusion. She could only remember him promising one thing to her, his killing of the Order.

"We'll not only make the Order pay for what they did to you, but we will also find a way to heal you of your burns. We want to see how cute you really are." He ended with a goofy smile. Now Nightmare was positive that her brightening blush could be seen through her burnt face. She turned her head away in a pitiful attempt to hide said blush. She released him and Naruto silently slid out from between the curtains.

Nightmare kept her one eye focused on the spot the spot were Naruto was just at before he moved off of her. Her large intestine slowly split into two complete large intestines and slowly moved to her cheeks. The ends of her two new organs split into two hand-like appendages. She held her head withher new 'hands' and allowed a small squeak and moan to escape her mouth.

"Anything important happen, Hinata?" Naruto asked as he sat back in his seat when Iruka finally regained control over his excited class. The blue-nette simply shook her head.

"I will now be calling out the new genin teams. You will all be in teams of three with a single jounin sensei; except for one special team who will have four teammates. Each team will also be assigned a number. Get along well with your new teammates because as far as your concerned, they're your new family and it would be in your best interest to treat them as such," Iruka said as he pulled out a clipboard from within his desk.

"Team one will be..." And, Naruto faded out of the whole speach and the team assignings until he heard his name called.

"Uzumaki Naruto, Nightmare, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Saskue. You all will be team 7," Iruka announced. "Your jounin sensei will be Hatake Kakashi."

Naruto looked at the two of his new teammates he did not personally know. Sakura, he used have a powerful crush on the girl; now, he just considered her a very violent friend. Sasuke, he did not know very well; what he did know was that the boy wanted to surpass his older brother and was not one of the many Uchiha who saw fit to beat Naruto senseless. He did not know this Hatake person, but he has overheard Iruka talking about him to some of the other chunin instructors so he could not be too bad.

'MOTHER FUCKING SON OF A HORNY ASS RAPING BITCH!' Hinata screamed inside her underage mind. On the outside she looked only slightly disappointed that she was not placed on her crush's team. On the inside, however, it looked as if Hinata had turned into a twenty foot demon and was wrecking havoc on all of Konoha. With a naked Naruto humping her right breast.

An audible squeal was heard from withen Nightmare's curtain covered bed, causing several confused glances to the bed and the creature carrying it. The Prayer only shrugged her shoulders when she saw the collective stares.

Sasuke turned around in his seat and gave a friendly wave to his two new teammates and got a nod from The Prayer, a wave from Naruto, and a small smile from Sakura. Sasuke was sure that with his new teammates; especially that Nightmare girl, he would soon be surpassing his older brother and gain the love and attention from his father that he always wanted.

Sakura looked at her new teammates and was disappointed. Not many people knew, but Haruno Sakura was not a very big fan of the male side of the human species. When she was a little girl, her father had a terrible problem with drugs and alcohol and would constantly beat and abuse both her and her mother; whether drunk, high, or bored. They stayed quiet about it for years, not allowing anybody to see their bruises and scars caused by the evil man. One time, her mother threatened to divorce the man, his response was a brutal beating that ended with a death threat if she ever tried anything like that.

It was when Sakura was eight years old did she and her mother hear the greatest news possible. Sakura's father, was dead! When the ANBU had arrived at the house and announced the news to the two females; they were ecstatic. But, luckily, their years of hiding the pain caused by the dead man helped them hide their over-joyed reactions from the ninja.

They were told that the man was killed in a jounin only bar. He had been having sex with some random prostitute and the two were killed, along with the bar owner, and another patron. When the remaining Haruno's saw the body, the ANBU mistook their tear stricken faces as a sign of mourning. He was way off.

Mr. Haruno's torso had been ripped away from his midsection with the lower part of his spine showing. The back of his head had been completely removed and his brain, cerebral fluids, and brain stem were all missing as well. Part of him also appeared to have been eaten. Despite the horrifying sight, both girls held each other in relief that their nearly endless nightmare was over.

They made a promise to each other: If they ever found out who did this to Sakura's father, they would be praised and worshipped like a god.

Unfortunately, because of the abuse that that Sakura had gone through she had become a little bit aware of the other sex. And hateful.

Iruka called out the rest of the teams and wished them all luck along with his final good-bye to the graduated class. After Iruka left the room, the genin began to chat about whatever they could think of as they waited for their new jounin sensei's to arrive.

After about a half hour of waiting, the first of the jounin arrived to retrieve their students. One by one the students left with their jounin sensei until only the new team seven was left alone in the room.

Sasuke was silently reading from one of his clan's special training manuals when he heard a clicking sound and footsteps coming up from behind. He turned he head to see Naruto and The Prayer standing near him.

"Hey, Sasuke. Since we're all gonna' be on the same team for a while I thought that it would be a good if we got to know each other. What do you think?" Naruto asked. Her gazed over at Sakura. "What about you, Sakura-chan?"

Said pink-ette looked at the blond boy with an eyebrow raised in suspicion. She did not know if Naruto was being honest with his sugestion, or if he was trying to find a way to lull her into a false sense of security then rape her later.

She shrugged, if he tried anything she would just beat the crap out of him. She stood up and walked over to the other members of her team and sat down on the desk.

"Sure," She said. Sasuke shrugged his shoulders as well and nodded his head. But before they could begin talking, a man wearing a mask that covered his nose and mouth and a headband that covered his left eye, popped his head in.

"You all the new Team Seven?" He asked in a bored tone. His one visible looked down right uncaring. "I'm your new sensei. Meet me on the roof in five minutes." Ans with that he shut the door.

The three children, and one monster, all gave each other confused glances before leaving the room and heading towards the academy roof. When they got to the roof, they saw the man sitting on the edge of the roof with his arms crossed and impatient look in his eye.

"About time you all got here. Sit down and we can get started," He said while motioning towards a raised chunk of concrete. All but The Prayer sat down.

"Alright, how about you all tell me a little bit about yourselves. Stuff like your name, of course, your likes and dislikes, dreams and any special abilities you'd like to share." The jounin said.

"Why don't you go first, sensei and show us what you mean?" Sakura asked with a frown on her face.

Kakashi shrugged his shoulders. "Fine. My name is Hatake Kakashi. I like a few things. I hate a few things. My dreams and special abilities are my own. That do you good pinky?"

Sakura frowned at the new nickname. "My nameis Haruno Sakura. My likes are playing games that require one to think, and eating umeboshi. I also like to study about medical jutsu. I hate most men especially filthy perverts, rapists, and child abusers. I also dislike any spicy food. My dream is to study under the legendary Tsunade and become the best medical ninja in the Land of Fire. I have only two special ability and that is my physical strength and intelligence." To demonstrate, Sakura picked up a rock in her right hand and crushed it into dust.

Kakashi nodded his head absent minded. Inside he was panicking; if Sakura saw him reading one of his perverted, then his head might replace that rock. The jounin then turned his one eye to Sasuke, "Your turn blue-boy."

Sasuke raised his eyebrow and looked down at his shirt then back at Kakashi with a frown. "I like this shirt," He said defensively. "My name is Uchiha Sasuke. My likes are training with my family, long walkes and eating omusubi. I hate losing against my older brother and sweet tasting foods. My dream is to finally defeat my brother in a fight and become the next leader of the Uchiha clan. As for my special abilities, I've already activated my sharingan and that's about it."

"Okay," Kakashi looked at Naruto, "Your turn blondy."

Naruto decided to ignore his sensei's comment, "My name is Uzumaki Naruto. My likes are my few friends, which are Hinata, the Hokage, Iruka-sensei, Samus, Marta, Annette, Baby, Nightmare and everything else in Otherworld." He turned his head and smiled brightly when he said Nightmare's name.

The Prayer faced away from the boy to hide her glowing face. 'Damn my creator's emotions!'

"I also really, really, like chocolate. I don't like very loud noises and really hot things and not much else. My dream was to become the Hokage, but now I'm not so sure that I want that. But I am one hundred percent sure that I want to have a nice, loving family when I get older. My special abilities are my own," He ended in an arrogant tone that sounded similar to Kakashi's own. He smiled when he noticed the slightly disapproving glare from his new sensei.

Kakashi moved his one visible you over his final student, or students. "What about...er...you two?" He asked with absolutely no attempt to hide his confusion.

The Prayer gave an irritated sight. "I...The Prayer," She said while pointing to herself. She then pointed to the bed on her back. "This...Lady Nightmare. She...likes...Na-urck..." Nightmare's intestine had reached through the bed curtains and yanked The Prayer's head into the enclosed space. And causing everyone to gaze at the bed in confusion as multiple voices were heard inside.

A minute or so later, The Prayer's head popped out from between the white curtains. "Lady Nightmare...would...like...not to talk." Her tone sounded somewhat defeated.

Kakashi was smart and decided not to press on with the introductions. "Now that we all know each other and are now a fresh team of genin; I want all of us to meat at training grounds number three at exactly six o'clock in the morning for our first team training session. If any of you are late then you will be severly punished. Also, you should arrive without having yet eaten anything." He ended with a wierd eye-smile.

Sakura, who was internally complaining about having to wake up so early, decided to ask a question. "And why should we?" She crossed her arms under her still growing breasts.

Kakashi's eye-smile grew in size. "Because if you eat before we train; you'll throw up." And with that, he leapt away.

Sasuke and Sakura both went their own ways while Naruto and The Prayer headed towards his apartment. About half way there, the three separated, Naruto headed to the training grounds in hope of finding Hinata, and Nightmare and The Prayer headed to Otherworld to vent.

Having no clue as to which of the training grounds Hinata's team was using, so he went to the training ground that had the same number as her team. Training grounds number eight.

When he arrived at said training area he saw Hinata and her team talking about something. Hinata's team was composed of Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, and Yuhi Kurenai. The red-eyed jounin was lecturing about something or other when Naruto heard an all too familiar moan slowly approaching from behind.

The orangs-clad ninja burst out from the treeline and ran directly towards Hinata's team, and more specifically one of the three thick logs sticking out of the center of the training grounds.

Hinata, and the rest of her team, turned when they heard Naruto dash out from behind the treeline and quickly approaching. "Naruto-kun?" The young Hyuuga said when the boy speed by Team Eight and slipped behind the middle log.

"What the!" Kiba exclaimed. Naruto's hand came out from behind the log and waved a few poorly practiced hand signals. Which rughly translated into 'Please do not tell anyone that I am here.'

They all looked at the log with a confused look before the sound of rustling brush from behind caught their attention. They collectively turned around to see the 'lead nurse', as Naruto decided to call her since she was the one that was the most forceful and determined of the nurse creatures. But the team did not know that.

The nurse stumbled out from behind the treeline with a rusted iron pipe gripped in her right hand. Team Eight dropped into their defensive stances, this thing was both creepy looking and wielding a potential weapon. This thing was probably what Naruto was running from, the whole team assumed.

The nurse looked back and forth in search for her blond-haired target but was unable to spot him. She let out a disappointed moan and turned around to walk away. As soon as she disappeared behind the thick trees Naruto came out from his poor hiding place.

"Thanks, guys," Naruto said. "I don't want to think about what would happen if she had caught me...hehe," He chuckled nerviously.

"What the Hell was that thing?" Kiba voiced everyones question, in his usual brash manner.

"Nothing that needs to be worried about now," Naruto said quickly. "Are you done here Hinata? My team finished its meeting a while ago, so I'm ready to go."

Hinata's face darkened as her whole team heard Naruto's question. She tried, yet failed, to shrink away into her over-sized jacket as her teammates each raised an eyebrow and looked directly at her.

"Where are you two going?" Kurenai asked her female student, an uncommonly mischievous smirk graced her beautiful face. She blamed Anko.

"Yeah!" Kiba added his two cents, "Where are you going with this loser?"

"Watch it dog-boy!" Naruto threatened the Inuzuka. He was not one hundred percent serious with the threat. He and Kiba had always been at each others throats since their first days in the academy. It was less of an actual hatred between the to boys, and more of a clash of egos. Naruto's, 'I'm-gonna'-be-Hokage-and-be-awesome' mindset vs. Kiba's 'I-am-just-pure-awesomness' ego.

"Or what? What is the loser of our class gonna' do?" Kiba mocked, with his little white pup, Akamaru, yipping in agreement.

Naruto ignored Kiba and returned his attention to Hinata. "Lets go Hinata. I don't what to catch mange from an unbathed hound." He said.

Hinata repressed a giggle from Naruto and Kiba's antics and nodded her head. "I am r-ready N-Naruto-kun. Where are w-we going to g-go?" She asked, though she already knew the answer.

"And why are you taking away my student. Mr. Uzumaki?" Kurenai asked, getting a little annoyed by the lack of attention.

Naruto chuckled nervously. "Hinata had the great idea earlier today that we would get together and go celebrate our graduation and new teams, even though we graduated yesterday." Before a response could be made, the familiar moaning of several nurses caught Naruto's attention. He quickly grabbed Hinata's wrist and bolted out of the training area faster than one would think humanly possible.

The rest of Team Eight stared in bewilderment as the two ninja disappeared from sight, then they all gave each other confused glances before separating and going their own ways.

Naruto came to a screeching halt after he felt he was a safe distance away from the Otherworldly sex symbols. His hand was still gripping Hinata's wrist, and the girl was not about to bring that fact to Naruto's attention. She wanted to cherish every second she was in physical contact with the object of her affection.

Naruto took a deep breath to try and calm his racing heart, running for you life, or virginity, can really take a lot out of a guy. As soon as his racing heart slowed down he smiled at the blue haired girl.

"Ready to eat, Hinata?" He asked.

Hinata looked at the boy in confusion untill she looked at her surrounding and realized that they were standing right in front of the Ichiraku Ramen Bar. Hinata smiled and shook her head. Naruto's favorite restaurant was Ichiraku's. Why would she think that Naruto would go anywhere else to celebrate something as important as his graduation and his new team.

Naruto walked into the bar and took his favorite seat. He was quickly followed by Hinata, who sat down right next to him with a pink tint splattered all over her cute face. The second her toned butt hit the cushioned stool, Ichiraku Ayame's head popped out from behind the counter and startled the two children.

"What will you two have?" She asked in a way too cheerful tone. The children were quickly able to still their nearly bursting hearts and tried to place their respective orders.

"You go first Hinata," Naruto smiled at the girl, causing said girls blush to darken and for her to stutter out her order of a simple bowl of miso ramen. Naruto ordered the Naruto Special.

Hinata glanced at Naruto in confusion. "Wh-what is the N-Naruto Special?" She only got Naruto's over-sized smile as an answer.

The two genin watched the ramen waitress prepare their meals. Hinata glanced around the place and noticed two men sitting a short distance away. Naruto noticed that he did not see Ayame's father anywhere, and that did not settle well with him. "Hey, Ayame. Where's Old Man Ichiraku?"

Ayame turned her attention away from the cooking ramen to give a kind smile and a reply, "My dad is out at the moment picking up something that he claims is important. I just think that it's another one of his pervy novels." She groan at the end.

Hinata turned a shade of red while Naruto laughed. After Naruto's laughter died down, Ayame brought Hinata her order and started fixing Naruto's. Hinata raised a questioning glance when she saw the ramen waitress place a large chunk of chocolate in a bowl and put the bowl on a heater. As the chocolate slowly melted inside the bowl, Ayame cooked a giant batch of ramen along with other ingredients required to create the meal. Ayame drained all of the liquid out of the noodles and poured in the now melted chocolate in a giant bowl along with the rest of the meal. She handed the chocolaty meal to Naruto, who quickly dug in.

Both Hinata and Ayame felt a little uneasy at watching Naruto eat the unusual concoction. The way he wolfed it down and was able to not miss a single drop of chocolate or ramen. Hinata turned her attention away from the sloppy yet clean eater, and to the waitress of the ramen bar.

"Um, e-excuse me," She whispered to Ayame. "But, wh-what is that N-Naruto-kun is eating?" She tried to hide the uncomfortable tone in her voice.

Ayame shook her head to rid herself of Naruto's chocolate covered mouth and faced the Hyuuga heiress. "Naruto came to us one day and suggested it too us. At first we rejected it outright, but after a few hours of his constant begging we caved in. Now the Naruto Special is all he will eat. It just isn't healthy so I try to slip in a few ground up vegetables into the mix. So far it doesn't seem that he has noticed yet." Ayame explained.

Hinata allowed a small smile to grace her face. It was a comforting thought that at least a few of the civilians did not hate Naruto. She quickly got back to eating her meal, Ayame noticed that, unlike when she saw other high class members of the village eating, that Hinata had no qualms with slurping up her food directly from the bowl or putting a large amount of her meal directly into her mouth and chewing noisily.

It appeared that the young Uzumaki's bad table manners had rubbed off onto Hinata. Not surprising with how much time they used to spend together during their academy days. The two finished their respective meals, with Naruto wiped his mouth in his sleeve and Hinata using a napkin and a respective manner. Neither of the girls noticed Naruto licking the chocolate he just smeared all over her sleeve. He had to have every last drop of the precious liquid.

Hinata reached into her jacket to retrieve her purse when Naruto quickly pulled out several bills and handed them over to Ayame.

"I'll pay," He stated with his usual smile. Hinata's heart fluttered. From the countless number of relationship texts she has read, one thing was always a constant. 'If the man of your dreams is willing to pay for your meal; he's a keeper.' Was the line in every single book.

After Naruto paid for his and Hinata's meals, he escorted the girl back to the Hyuuga compound without much resistance from the guards.

"Th-thank you N-Naruto-kun, for the m-meal," Hinata stuttered with her ever present blush adorning her cute face. "I will be s-sure to pay you b-back as s-soon as you w-want."

Naruto suddenly had an uncharacteristic serious gaze, "I can't except that Hinata." He said in his 'Hokage-in-training' voice.

Having never heard Naruto talk like that before, she was suddenly wracked with the fear of accidentally done something wrong and cause Naruto to dislike her.

"After all; what kind of man would I be to take a preaty girl's money right after I payed for her dinner?" He asked with his bright smile back. This had the unsurprising effect of turning Hinata's face the brightest red possible. She mumbled a quick goodnight and bolted for her room, leaving Naruto in confusion of her sudden action. He shrugged it off and headed home.

Hinata rushed past several servants, her little sister and even her father on her way to her room. When she reached her desired location, Hinata slid open the traditional door and scooted in before closing the door behind her. The whole while, not making a single sound inside the estate.

The instant her door closed, Hinata launched her self directly at her bed. Ontop of said bed was a giant Narutoplushy that she had made with a little help from her stepmother; who had no clue as to what was being made.

Hinata slammed into the giant plushy and shoved her face into the chest of the doll. She let loose the loudest squeal she had ever made, luckily it was muffled by the plushy and went unheard throught the massive estate.

'I just went on a date with Naruto-kun! I just went on a date with Naruto-kun!' She repeated over and over inside her blue hair covered head. With every chant, her heart felt that much closer to bursting in joy.

She released another muffled squeal as her fantasy family with Naruto popped up in her imagination. Suddenly, Hinata became very tired and fell asleep. She slowly humped her Naruto plushy as she dreamed of being with the man she loved.

The next day, Team Seven met at the location that Kakashi had specified the day before. All but Kakashi himself were present. And as they were told to, none of the genin had eaten a morning meal.

It was staring to get around eleven o'clock and the pre-teens were beginning to regret not eating. Except for The Prayer and Nightmare; who Naruto glared at every time his stomach grumbled.

Sakura tried to distract herself away from her hunger by reading a very powerful feminist book. While Sasuke performed every streach and minor exorcise he knew to distract his mind.

Naruto tried to simply ignore his growing hunger and was just pleased that it did not involve Venom in any way, this time. But he was a tad displeased by the two nurses that were fawning all over him. One was behind him with her arms wrapped around his neck and her large breasts pressed against his back. The other was on her stomach and draped across his crossed legs, in her pink-gloved hands was an old book of some kind. All three were reading said book, until Naruto realized the extreme adult content of said book and tried to focus on his hunger instead.

Half an hour later, the sensei of Team Seven arrived with a hidden smile. He and the nurses stared at each other for a moment before Kakashi addressed his students. "Yo. I'm glad to see you all here bright eyed and bushy tailed," He chuckled.

"'Bright eyed and bushy tailed'? What the Hell is this, 1946? Who the fuck talks like that?" Naruto jabbed back before his eyes widened and he slapped a hand over his mouth. The rest of Team Seven stared at their fourth-wall breaking teammate and decided to ignore him.

'Damn you Venom!' Naruto shouted inside his rather hollow skull.

"So what kind of training are we gonna' do today?" Naruto said in an attempt to draw attention away from his forbidden mistake.

Kakashi eye-smiled at his students. "No training today. Just a test." The genin all had shocked looks on their faces.

"Wait a minute," Sakura spoke up. "I thought we were done with tests when we graduated."

Kakashi's eye-smile grew bigger, "Your right in that you don't have to take any more of those little exams found in the academy, but this test is not like those." He suddenly became very serious. This test will determine if you truly have what it takes to be a ninja. If you pass, then good for you, your a ninja. If you fail, sucks to be you; you will be removed completely from the ninja program. Now is the only chance that I will give you to quit."

All of the genin glanced at each other with determination written all over their young faces. "Bring it!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Very well." Kakashi reached into his ninja pouch and pulled out three bells and three lunch boxes. "The rules of the test are simple. One: You have to get one of these bells away from me before noon. Two: If you fail to recieve a bell by the time limit, then you will be tied to one of the logs and will watch the others eat the lunches I so caringly prepared. You will also fail the test and be sent back to the academy for more training. Understand? I want you all to come at me with everything you've got!"

Kakashi's students nodded and prepared themselves for the test.

"Begin!"

Well, here ya' go my faithful readers. All two of you.

Time to answer a question: First of all Hinata will not be the only character to gain a symbiote, who will and what symbiote they will obtain...you'll just have to wait and see.

Alright, so don't forget to read, review, e-mail, be a pervert...PERVERTS RULE!

I would also like to apologize for any spelling mistakes you see. For some reason my spellchecker isn't really working and it's TICKING ME OFF!
