At the gates of Konoha stood team two, better known as team Naruto, the team Naruto was Jonin leader of. It was Konohamaru's team, and they were waiting for teams Kiba and Chouji.
"Hey boss, where are the others?" Konohamaru said."They're coming just now Kono-kun, have patience. Remember as a ninja you should always have patience," said Moegi as she repeated shinobi rule 22 from memory."That's easy for you to say Moegi." Udon said. "Hey you guys just shut up will you," said Naruto angrily, showing them his golden sage eyes.
The three genin cowered in fear from their master; they knew he had to be pissed if he was using his sage mode eyes on them. "Hey look, here they come," said Udon suddenly. As if right on cue Kiba and Chouji appeared with their Genin teams.
Kiba was with Hanabi Hyuuga, a Hyuuga prodigy, Chiruku Akimichi, of whom much was said of his skill, and Kenpachi Zaraki, the prodigy that excelled in the arts of the sword and other weapons. Chouji's team of genin was: Tatsuki Arigawa from the Arigawa clan that excelled in the use of poison, Hirako Aburame, Shino's younger cousin who was proclaimed as a rare genius even among the Aburame, and Kenshin Morino, the youngest cousin of Ibiki Morino and also a medical Nin in training.
As Kiba and Chouji approached, they spotted Naruto and his team. "Hey Naruto, sup man," said Kiba well naturedly. "Hey Naruto, how's things man," said Chouji cheerfully. "Hey guys you ready?" The blonde Jonin asked his fellow comrades. "Yeah, we are ready but why are you in Sage Mode Naruto?" Kiba asked his fellow comrade while a Kunai appeared in his hand seemingly out of nowhere."I was looking for your Chakra signatures since you guys were a bit late" Naruto said.
"Woof," barked Akamaru. Naruto looked down at the canine to see his tongue hanging out and his mouth spread in what seemed to be a huge grin. "Hey Akamaru, what's up boy," said Naruto, bending down and scratching the huge ninja hound behind his ears before giving him a doggie treat. The Jonin assembled their teams for one final inspection. When they were finished they all headed east towards Kumo.
So Konohamaru, what's up," said Kenpachi. "Haven't seen you in a while, it's been a while since we last sparred. Hasn't it?" "Yea," said the genin, "it has, but I've been busy learning this new jutsu ..." he eagerly fell into speech about his new jutsu while Kenpachi and the rest of the guys listened approvingly and added their own stories of conquest, bravery and skill.
The three kunoichi looked at each other with an expression that said: boys, what a nuisance. "So Moegi-chan, how are things," asked the poison princess. "Last I heard you were training with one of the Nisei, Sakura-sensei, and the flower queen Ino-san in the arts of medical and ayurvedic ninjutsu."
"Yeah, Ino sensei has been teaching me how to create ayurvedic medicine amongst other things and Sakura sensei been training me in chakra control and medical Taijutsu."
"Ayurvedic What's that?"The Hyuuga prodigy asked. "Oh right, I forgot you didn't know" Hanabi-chan. Ino-san went to India for training last year for a year and learnt the art of herbal medicine from the Hindu monks in the northern mountains. Yeah, the monks have strong ties with the Yamanaka, Nara and Akimichi clan." "Hmm ... very interesting," said the Hyuuga.
"Oh and Tatsuki-chan I heard you were under the tutelage of Shizune-san in learning how to create and control new poisons," she added. "Yes, I was. Shizune-san is the most skilled in hidden poison jutsu, while Tsunade Sama is renowned for her medical prowess, Shizune sensei is renowned for her knowledge of toxins and venoms and for a girl coming from a Tribe that is known for their ability to mix and match poisons there can be no better teacher"
Meanwhile the Jonin were also having a conversation about recent events. "So," Chouji said, "are the rumours we heard from the earth kingdom true?" "Yeah," said Naruto, "it seems one of their former leaders has a bone to pick with Konoha because of the incident that happened five years ago when the Third Hokage prevented a possible military coup d'état by Yagiro Hokumara, and from what I hear he has a lot of resources and lots of anger and well … you get the picture."
Kiba growled softly before saying, "Yeah I do man, that's just low." "That's how the ninja world is Kiba; you should be used to it by now." Chouji told his friend. "Just 'cause I'm used to it doesn't mean I have to like it, does it," said Kiba angrily. "No sense worrying about it now we will cross that bridge when and if we come to it, for now just keeps your eyes and ears open guys" Naruto told his comrades.
Anyway hey Chouji tell me about your student Tatsuki Arigawa I don't know much about her.""Yeah sure, but most of what I tell you is classified info so keep it to yourself the official version is that they are a nomadic clan of chemists who deal in venoms and toxins who were granted asylum in Konoha." "Tatsuki is actually one of the youngest members of the Arigawa Tribe, to be specific her tribe deals in the profession of toxins and venoms, they aren't actually a Ninja clan they are originally a tribe of Nomads that lived in the Northern Jungles."
"They share strong ties with the Aburame Clan, because some of the Insects the Aburame Clan Breeds are found in the Northern Jungles, but due to their toxic levels of poison the Aburame clan aren't able to breed them directly so The Arigawa Clan create and sell them antitoxins that nullify the effects of the insects poison."
"Two years back some of our shinobi were on a Mission in the Northern Mountains when one of our comrades got poisoned by the Enemy, although the enemy was defeated, but the medical Nin on the team was unable to find an antidote in time for the Ninja's life to be saved." "Thankfully there was an Aburame shinobi on the team as well so he took his team a few km north to where The Arigawa Tribe lived and with the help of the antidotes prepared by them the ninja was able to recover and finish their mission successfully and return to Konoha."
"When the Hokage learned about this and after consulting with some of her advisors She decided it would be in Konoha's best interest to have the Arigawa Tribe establish themselves in Konoha so she sent Shibi san with a Letter To Tatsuki's father Urahara Arigawa who is the head of the Arigawa tribe with an invitation to come and reside in Konoha and to continue their profession in our Village with the promise that they would be given the status of a Clan if they so wished."
"When they arrived in Konoha Urahara as a symbol of thanks shared his clans techniques and potions with the Hokage and the Anbu on the condition that Shizune teaches his daughter how to be a shinobi and a Kunoichi like herself, because even amongst the Arigawa Tribe Shizune was famed to be an excellent Kunoichi skilled in the making and use of poisons and venoms to rival theirs."
"The Hokage Gladly agreed and so Shizune personally trained Tatsuki and sent her to the academy to test her skills, after passing the academy with flying colours she was assigned to my team to improve her ..."
He suddenly stopped speaking when he heard Akamaru growling.
Kiba stopped to sniff the air, while the other Jonin searched for enemies. This action didn't go unnoticed by the genin who also could feel the unmistakable killing intent surrounding them. They themselves were no strangers to violence and bloodshed because although they were only genin they all had the skill level of Jonin if not the experience of one. They all kept talking amicably but their senses were on high alert.
"Hey Hanabi, check to see what's following us 50 meters southwest," said Kiba softly. "Hai sensei." Said the jyuuken warrior, and with a single hand sign and a quiet word activated her Byakugan bloodline limit. She checked in all directions, and saw a group of people following them from behind and another group approaching from another direction. They were trying to box in the Konoha shinobi, and after relaying this back to her sensei, the Jonin quickly thought of a plan.
"Hey Udon, formation Beta," said Naruto. "Konohamaru, Moegi, formation Alpha." "Understood," said the three genin. Udon went to work laying some traps while Konohamaru created a few clones to set the tags for the jutsu and keep a look out while Moegi applied the genjutsu seals on them.
Kiba gave the next set of orders. "Hirako, Tatsuki; formation Delta." Hirako released his insects while Tatsuki released her poison breath to imbibe the insects with. It was a low grade toxin but potent nonetheless.
"Alright Kenpachi, Konohamaru, Kenshin formation Gama," Chouji told the three male genin. "Okay, got it," said the three shinobi. Konohamaru summoned his monkey staff from a scroll while Kenpachi unsheathed his demon sword and Kenshin extracted his chakra blades.
Meanwhile the three Jonin fell into battle stances with Naruto powering up a Rasengan, Chouji eating a bag of chips and Kiba using his man-beast clone technique. The leaf shinobi were ready for battle.
Suddenly, the enemy groups who had come from four different directions trying to box in the Konoha shinobi suddenly heard a loud boom …
A/N: What will happen next? What was that loud boom? Did the traps work? Who are these mysterious pursuers and what of the Konoha shinobi, what lies in store for them? What will be end result of it all? Find out in the next chapter.
the reason the current team of Genin are Jonin level is because due to the Akatsuki problem there were no chunin exams being held, so the Genin Teams spent most of their time being trained by Their respective sensei and the rest of the Konoha 12, who trained them from time to time.
Although in the shippuden arc it was shown they were a genin team under Ebisu in my Fanfic due to the transfer of Ebisu to another unit. Naruto was chosen due to his strength and abilities and his closeness to Konohamaru and his gang.
Also the Genin are all approximately 15-16 yrs old and the Jonin are around 19-20 yrs old.
Also I used the term: Nisei in this ch. which means second generation sannin due to Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke training under the original legendary three ninjas. They were/ are called the Nisei: the second generation sannin
