&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Neji smirked down at his three apprehensive students; it was really a simple test depending on how you looked at it. Hotaka nods confidently, the test would be simple, just get the two bells away from sensei, piece of cake. Haruka however frowns up at Neji-sensei, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Neji-sensei, this test is absolutely pointless."

Daichi and Hotaka look at her inquisitively, Neji's smirk turns into a frown.

"How so Haruka?" Neji asks already knowing what her argument would be.

"Well Neji-sensei first of all there is the Byakugan, which leaves us with no element of surprise and rendering all genjutsu useless,"

"What's the Byakugan?" Hotaka interrupts to the annoyance of Haruka.

"It's a blood line limit that occurs in the Hyuuga clan, this allows the user to have an almost 360 degree line of vision except for a small blind spot in the back of the neck, it can also see through objects up to 800 meters away," Neji explains.

Hotaka thinks for a minute and then realization hits him, "But," he splutters, "That means we only get about a 30 chance of passing!" he exclaims angrily.

"Even less than that," Haruka corrected, "As I was about to say before I was so rudely interrupted," she gives Hotaka a nasty glare, "That leaves us only ninjutsu, which won't be as effective, since you can seal the tenketsu, taijutsu is rendered useless due to the fact that your taijutsu is the strongest in Konoha,"

"The Byakugan can see the tenketsu?" Daichi asks looking up startled. Haruka nods.

"This test is completely, pointless there is no possible way we can pass." Haruka finishes with finality.

Neji shrugs nonchalantly, "That's not my problem,"

Hotaka opens his mouth about to protest the indignity of this exam but Haruka beats him to it, "Neji-sensei if we're just going to fail…." "WHATS THE POINT OF TAKING THIS EXAM!" Hotaka interrupts yet again; this time finishing Haruka's thought.

Neji just shrugs again, "Once again not my problem, you guys have a time limit of 45 minutes to get both bells, you start now,"

All three students just stand there dumbstruck, Neji rubs his temples in agitation, "Just start!" he orders exasperated.

Haruka sighs, it appeared as though she would be on her own, and she wasn't going to work with bug boy and the other idiot. Daichi and Hotaka had other plans. Each boy takes one of Haruka's arms and drags her into the forest, despite Haruka's furious protests.

Hotaka finds themselves what he presumes to be and acceptable hiding spot until the team can formulate a plan.

"What the heck do you think your doing!" Haruka asks furiously, self control and their exam forgotten.

"Shut up he'll hear us!" Hotaka mutters covering her mouth with his hand, he listens for a minute his well tuned ears perking up slightly.

Haruka rolls her eyes. "You idiot it doesn't matter, he can see absolutely everything we're doing, don't you pay attention?"

"No, not really," Daichi says shaking his head.

Hotaka glares at his supposed best friend, "I know because of that Byaku-thingy, right?"

Haruka sighs, "Its Byakugan,"

"Do you have the Byakugan, Haruka?" Daichi asks his pale-eyed teammate.

Haruka nods, distinct pride shining in her eyes. She does some hand seals and the veins rise beside her eyes the strange, markings appearing in her usually pupil-less lilac eyes.

"So you can see through things now?" Hotaka asks, a slight smirk playing at his lips.

Haruka nods impatiently until realization dawns on her and she blushes furiously.

"Not like that you baka!" she yells hitting him upside the head.

"Why are you always like that? I was just kidding!" Hotaka says defensively. "Well sometimes you aren't funny!" Haruka retaliates and the two start bickering.

Daichi looks over the surrounding area, ten minutes had passed and they had still done nothing.

"Guys stop this senseless fighting, it's getting us nowhere," Daichi says in his usual calm and even tone.

"She started it!" Hotaka yells and points accusingly at our Byakugan user.

Haruka doesn't answer, only turns around refusing to speak with any of them.

"Oh so now you're too good to talk to us?" Hotaka huffs out, "Well news flash your majesty you're not," Haruka doesn't acknowledge him, which makes him even angrier.

"Would you two quit it," Daichi demands, slightly annoyed "We have to think up a plan,"

Haruka turns to him glaring, "Number one I am NOT going to work with either of you, Number two there is no way on earth we're going to pass,"

"Hey," Hotaka looks up, "Why are you talking to Daichi and not to me?" Haruka pointedly turns around. Hotaka gets mad.

Daichi rolls his eyes behind his sunglasses. "Look Haruka if we have even the smallest chance of passing, we need your help, you know the most about sensei's ability."

Haruka stays silent for a minute. "I'm listening,"

Hotaka tilts his head, Taiji in his coat, "What do you have planned?"

Daichi whispers his plan hurriedly.

Hotaka grins. Haruka appears begrudgingly impressed. "That is so going to work!" Hotaka says punching Daichi on the shoulder good-naturedly.

"At least someone on our team pays attention," Haruka says pointedly looking at Hotaka.

Hotaka decides to ignore the statement. Then all three move to execute the plan.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Neji frowned slightly, as he glanced at the three conspiring kids. There was no way they could pass, Neji had made sure of that but he did not like the satisfactory looks on their faces, especially Haruka. It had to be a good plan, when he saw them all running toward him he mentally braced himself.

Haruka, Hotaka, Taiji and Daichi were running toward him, head on.

That was it? That was there plan? Attack him head on? Well that was stupid.

Haruka activates her Byakugan, Hotaka and Taiji transform somewhat and Daichi moves swiftly. The plan had to work.

Hotaka is the first to attack with Taiji running at break neck speed toward his sensei, Haruka coming right after him Daichi trying to simultaneously attack Neji from behind.

Neji smirks once again, what a stupid plan. He easily grabs Hotaka and Taiji and throws them at a nearby tree, Haruka manages to nick his arm, with the Jyuuken, but he spins her around by one arm, making it harder for Daichi to grab one of the bells. He releases Haruka, who goes flying into Hotaka who was starting to get up. She lands on his chest pushing him down again.

"Haruka, you need to lose some weight," Hotaka grumbles trying to shove her off him. Haruka glares at him, "Well then you need to gain some muscle," she said obviously disgruntled. The two once again start to argue.

Neji sweat-drops. This was really pathetic, there was no way on earth they could become a team. Daichi than runs at him, sending a spray of Kikaichu at his sensei while reaching for the bells, Neji instantly throws him at the tree next to Haruka and Hotaka. Haruka and Hotaka stop arguing and rush over to him.

"Did it work?" Hotaka asks eagerly.

"Like a charm," Daichi says sounding please.

Neji all of a sudden starts to feel faint, his vision was blurred and his head ached, to his horror he slowly sank to the ground and all time had stopped.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Neji's eyes flutter open, his throat feels dry, but his vision becomes clearer.

He opens his eyes to see Daichi and Hotaka grinning, and Haruka smirking slightly. Both Hotaka and Haruka are holding up bells.

"I think you're bug bit him to hard, Daichi," Hotaka says laughingly.

Neji gets up shakily and looks at his three smiling students, "What did you guys do to me?" he asks rubbing his head.

Hotaka being the talkative one decides to tell Neji, "Well, Daichi here came up with the idea after he heard you say you had a blind spot, in the back of the neck, he said we could distract you long enough so that when he sent out his bugs he would hide this special one when it bites someone they fall asleep for a few hours, it snuck into your blind spot, you fell asleep, we got the bells!" (A/N: I made up the sleeping bug thing, I think)

Neji thinks begrudgingly for a minute, they had gotten the two bells. He than sights a loop hole. He turns toward the four conspirators, smirking evilly.

"Technically if it wasn't for Daichi you three wouldn't have gotten the bells, so I guess Haruka and Hotaka shouldn't be allowed to pass,"

Hotaka and Haruka's mouths drop open in horror.

"That's not fair; we're on these three man teams so that we could help each other out!" Haruka says panicking. She just had to pass!

"That's right; we'd do the same for Daichi!" Hotaka glares.

"I couldn't have done it if they hadn't distracted you," Daichi admits in his quiet manner.

Neji shrugs "I was kidding," Haruka giggles slightly. "What?" Neji asks defensively. "You never kid around Neji-sensei," She accuses. Neji grunts slightly.

"Ha we did it!" Hotaka yells punching the air. "We're genin!"
