After Huugo had dismissed the Genin, they all started to get worried, despite what their sensei had said about them. Kyoshi thought that she was going to have to train a lot harder if she was going to have any chance of becoming a Chuunin, so she trained for hours every day. Miashi was worried about his Genjutsu, and decided that he would practise using his Genjutsus until he knew the hand signs off the top of his head. Nick was worried that his metal manipulating abilities might not be enough, so he asked around where he could find someone to teach him jutsus. After an hour of searching, he was about to give up for the day when he saw a young blonde with a headband the same as his.
"What's your name?" Nick asked.
"My name is Naruto Uzamaki, believe it!" said the blonde with a big grin.
"My name is Nick. Do you know anyone who can teach me a useful jutsu for the Chuunin exam?"
"Why, look no further! I will teach you a kinjutsu!"
"No thank you, I don't want any kinjutsus, a normal one will do just fine."
"No, I want to teach you this one. Don't worry, it's not that dangerous."
Nick, desperate, begrudgingly accepts.
"Ok, the kinjutsu I am going to teach you is the Shadow Clone Jutsu" Naruto says.
Naruto runs through the necessary hand signs with Nick.
"Ok now try to make as many as you can" says Naruto.
Nick performs the hand signs and puts all of his chakra into it, making 100 shadow clones.
"WOW! You sure must have a whole bunch of chakra" says Naurto in admiration.
"Thanks, you're a pretty good teacher" Nick pants.
Miashi then walks by and says "Oh, there you are. Kyoshi was looking for you. I think she wants us to all train together or something."
"Ok. Thanks Naruto, I guess I'll see you later then" Nick says.
Nick and Miashi go to the Forest of Death, where Kyoshi told Miashi she wanted to train.
"Ok Nick, I want you to hit the target over there with one of your kunai" Kyoshi said, pointing to a tree 200 feet away.
"Oh, I thought this was going to be hard training" Nick said.
He throws a kunai, making it split into 4 smaller kunai along the way. All 4 of the kunai hit the target right in the middle.
Kyoshi merely shrugs and says "Ok Miashi, your turn."
"What!? Do I have to hit the same target as Nick did? That's impossible!"
"Come on Miashi, it's only fair that we all need to hit the same target" snickers Nick.
"Oh ok fine" Miashi sighs.
Miashi does a few quick hand signs and then throws the kunai right into the centre of the target.
"Whoa, how on earth did you do that?" asks Kyoshi in an awed voice.
Nick pulls Miashi aside and says "Miashi, please tell me you used Genjutsu to trick us into thinking you hit that."
"Course I did, but only because I didn't want her to get mad at me. You know how scary she can be when she gets angry."
Nick nodded his agreement.
Kyoshi then comes over with Miashi's kunai in her hand.
"MIASHI!"
"Yes Kyoshi?" Miashi says innocently.
"Guess where I found this?"
"Umm, in the target?"
"No, I didn't find it in the bloody target! I found it in the bushes!"
"Oh, um, ah, I can explain that."
"Oh? Ok then, I'm listening."
"Well, you see, I..."
With that Miashi ran away as fast as he could.
"Oh no you don't! Dirty, no good little liar!"
Kyoshi ran after Miashi as fast as she could, and soon caught up with him. Nick could here yelling and screaming coming from their general direction.
"Well, I guess I better make sure they don't hurt themselves too much" Nick said to himself.
He walked to them, sighing and wondering why he had to be stuck with such idiots. He would protect them with every bone in his body, but that didn't mean he had to think nicely of them.
