Naruto POV
I watched my new team slowly trudge towards me, Riki and Yuki walking behind them, silently discussing matters that I had no clue of. At the moment, I bore my usual ANBU attire, but with my henge on. Without it, I was a little over average in height, with unruly blonde hair, three whisker marks on each cheek and cerulean blue eyes. With it, though, I was 6'1 with spiky blonde hair with scattered red streaks, and red eyes. At the moment, I was wearing my mask.
In In this form, with my mask, the citizens looked up at me with awe written all over their faces. Without it, they turn their heads, glare, call me Monster. Demon Child. Kyuubi Spawn. Fools, if only they knew.
Back to the present, Naruto. Back to the present. I assessed my team.
Shino Aburame. He was walking stoically in front of his teammates. If you weren't part of Team Akuma, or one of those face reading freaks, you wouldn't be able to see the slight jump in his steps as he walked towards me. Excited.
Kiba Aburame. I could tell he was struggling slightly, with that girl on his back, but other than that he seemed fine. He must have high physical status, not nearly as high as me, but high.
Hinata Hyuga. I guess Iruka was right, because, even if they were unconscious, a Hyuga would NEVER allow anyone to carry them, unless they were infants.
They didn't look like idiots, no, so that was good. But they definitely had not unlocked their full potential. But that's no problem. With the hell- I mean training, I was going to put them through, their stats right now and their stats then will look like a rusty kunai comparing to a
Hehehe. HAHAHA. MWAHAHA!
STOP NARUTO! Or you'll start laughing aloud and you cannot break your facade. Breath in, breath out. Oh, the Hyuga girl is waking up. Hinata, was it? Now that I see her… she could make for an excellent fighter someday.
Hinata POV
How could I faint in front of The Grinning Assassin and Ice Emperor? BAKA! Now even my sensei knows that I'm weak. He's looking at me! Wait, is that a...
.
.
.
EHHHH? The FOX mask? Could it really be him? The captain of Team AKUMA? Fox? I can't wait to tell Hinabi that he's my sensei! Wait… OH NO! I fainted in front of him! He IS going to think I'm weak. Damn it, Hinata! UGH!
Everybody POV
Kiba looked towards their sensei. Somethings off… he thought to himself. Sensei smelled off. He smelled older, like he was about 19 or so, but underneath that he smelled a kid, maybe about his own age? He sniffed sensei again. Yeah, definitely! Something was off. kIba shrugged. Well, that was to be expected by someone like Fox.
katana.
Yeah, nevermind.
Hinata looked around, Shino stood, and Kiba plopped down on the grass.
"Dismissed." Naruto said, his voice emotionless, and the other two ANBU walked away. Kiba thought he heard one mutter a good luck, and he shuddered. "Although I am supposed to test you, I am not going to do that today-"
"YES!" Kiba roared. "It's because of me, right? Because of my skillz!" He shouted. Suddenly, the air around him froze. A feeling of dread crept up his spine like a snake. He slowly turned toward the source. Fox.
"No. As far as I'm concerned, those 'skillz'"-he mockingly mimicked Kiba with a high pitched, girly voice-"you speak of are nonexistent." "Hey!" Kiba exclaimed, but shut up as the cold eyes of fox glared at him from behind the mask. "I just do not believe in things such as that. If children want to be ninja, let them be ninja. Either they succeed, or they die. Either way, it doesn't matter to me. It won't affect me." He said coldly, and Kiba, Hinata and even Shino shuddered.
"N-no." stuttered a quiet voice, and Naruto looked up to see the Hinata looking up to him. It surprised him. In this form, not many stood up to him. Not many, he would say, but this would only be the 4th or so time. And that this girl, the unconfident shy Hyuga heiress said it? Maybe Iruka got it mixed up. But that was next to impossible. That man was an organization freak!
"What do you mean, girly?" He asked in a cold tone. Hinata looked up at him, and eeped. What was I thinking? OH NO! She thought. Well, no going back now, right? She looked up. "You're wr-rong. A-as ninja, we n-nee-need to pro-pr-protect each other's b-backs-" she gained confidence as she continued. "-or we'll all die! No trust in each other, and we'd always have to look back, protect ourselves from everything, every attack, alone! And that's just… just STUPID! We could do so much more, protect more, grow more if we ALL WORKED TOGETHER!" She shouted the last part.
Hinata POV
Did. I. Just. Do. That. IDIOT! OH NO! What was I thinking? Shouting at FOX? Kami-sama, protect me from this man's wrath.I stared up frightened at the fox-masked ANBU. But then he did something that suprised… no, shocked me. He laughed.
"You got guts girly." He chuckled, and slapped my back. I resisted the urge to double over by the sheer force. "But try something original next time."I flushed from head to toe. "Now let's assess those skills. Aburame, up. First one to draw blood wins."
Everyones POV
Shino slowly approached the middle of the field. "Start!" Naruto shouted. Shino jumped back, Naruto did as well. The Fox ANBU analyzed his opponent. Aburame, bugs, sensing, chakra eating, sensing bugs. What to do…
"Insect Clone Technique!" Shino called out. He and his clone started to run towards Naruto, but instead of attacking, completely missed him and ran straight past.
"Boo!" Kiba called. "Attack him. Show him who's boss!" He screamed. Naruto watched as the clones ran past him.
There! On the grass, 3 meters away, was a single beetle. Female! Smart guy, Naruto thought, Knew he couldn't beat me straight up, so in the shadows, in a way… Naruto threw a senbon at the beatle, and Shino narrowed his eyes. How did he sense…? Naruto thought it was time to attack.
"Rising Vines!" (1) a pair of vines shot out of the ground, race towards the Aburame. Shino jumped back and took out a kunai. He tried to parry the attacks, but a vine got to close and… poof. I swarm of beetles flew into the air. Clone! Naruto thought. He sensed out Shino. Since he was only a genin, his chakra was easily noticeable to the skilled ANBU.
He threw a kunai at the spot. Shino jumped out of the way, but didn't sense the barrage coming from behind. At the last second, he turned, saw the kunai and jumped. But he was too slow, and two of the kunai grazed his skin. A drop of blood landed on the tree he stood on.
"I win." A whisper was heard behind Shino, and he jumped around. Behind him was Naruto, holding a kunai to his neck.
"Good job, kid. Your talents are impressive considering your age, but you didn't stand a chance against me. No hard feelings. Inuzuka, come on." Kiba jumped up as Shino jumped down next to Hinata, who was staring wide-eyed at the show of skill. She hadn't even seen him move!
"Shino may have lost, but not me! Quit now!" Kiba stated, all too cocky. Fox chuckled.
"Keep dreaming.. Begin!" Naruto jumped back, but Kiba…
"Fang over Fang!" He screamed out. "Try to get away from this. Come on, Akama-" Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.
"Idiot! Why did you do that? You just told your enemy what you were going to do. Try to get away from this? Now they have a head start to get away. Idiot! This test is over. I know what I need to know." Naruto shook his head.
"But, you don't even know what I can do!" Kiba yelled out, frustrated.
"Brains before bronze. Come on out Gutsy Girl. Let's see if you have what it takes to back up those words from before." Naruto called out with a mocking look toward Kiba.
Hinata gulped. Going out to the field, she took a Hyuga stance. Naruto observed her, than called out "Begin!" He jumped forward. If he knew about Hyuga's was true, he would need to disable her before she disabled him. Though he could no doubt best her, he needed to hold back. Hinata jumped back, but not fast enough. Naruto started to use hand to hand combat, kicking and swiping at her. Hinata took a deep breath and activated her Byakugan. She started to try using the gentle fist, but failed. What could she do?
She looked around herself. Trees, was that water nearby? Hmmm… suddenly, she jumped into the trees and fled. What is she doing? Naruto thought. He ran after her, but no longer was able to use her footsteps. No matter, he started to sense out her chakra. He found it on the other side of the river that ran through the grounds.
Smart girl. Naruto thought- she tried to loose me with the sound of water. She's doing a good job suppressing her chakra, but not enough. Naruto ran towards her position and found himself being ambushed by her.
"8 Triagrams 32 Palms!" She yelled. Naruto stopped her hand movements before she could start.
She looked up at him, mouth open wide.
No one had ever done that before.
(1) I am making up my own jutsu's!
OK. I know, I am so bad at updating regularly and this is super short, but hey. Stuff happens. One reason for me updating late, what is with the lack of reviews? Come on guys, please give me some reviews! I only got one in these past 2 MONTHS! But I have so many follows/favorites, why? Why everyone, why do you make me suffer so?
Thank you, NarHina! Naruhina forever!
