Hidden by the Fox
Chapter 4: The Six Man Gennin Team
The Guide has this to say on the Hyuuga Clan: A bunch a bloodline gifted, arrogant, and uptight, perverts. The majority of the Hyuuga are based in the Hidden Fox Village. The small amount that are stationed in the Leaf Village still divide the clan into the Main House and Branch House; whereas the Fox Hyuuga don't.
The Hyuuga are gifted with the Byakugan; an advanced bloodline that allows 360 degree vision, the ability to see the body's inner coils, and the ability to see through solid objects, such as walls, the body's tissues, and clothing. It is rumoured that the Hyuuga clan symbol, a tear drop shaped flame, is actually a seal that prevents clothing from being seen through.
It is also interesting to note that the legendary Super Pervert, and writer of the Icha Icha Series, Jiraiya, has been caught quoting this about the Hyuuga, "Lucky bastards, why do they have a bloodline that could be used to see through the hot spring walls, or women's clothing? Heh, heh."
It should also be noted, that Jiraiya was floored by a bottle of sake, courtesy of a female named Hinasha Hyuuga, immediately after saying that.
Naruto's friends were sitting in the Academy waiting to be sorted into teams. Then came the loud sounds of an argument. "Ah, shit," they all thought, "Uchiha Fangirls!"
The guide has this to say on fangirls: they are strange screeching creatures that travel in packs ranging from 1-1000. These creatures will solely focus their attention on one person or persons to a degree described as hellishly obsessive.
"I'm sitting by Sasuke!"
"No way, you ugly whore, I'm sitting by Sasuke!"
The group let out a collective sigh, as a vein popped in Sasuke's forehead.
"Alright," Iruka called out, effectively quieting everyone down. "All of you here have passed the Ninja Exam and will be sorted into teams. This year however, you will be sorted into six man teams, with three Jounin instructors; instead of the usual three man teams."
In the Namikage's office the Jounin observed the classroom.
"We have an unusually talented group of graduates this year," Arashi explained.
"Can you point out any students with things such as, bloodlines for instance?" Kakashi asked.
"Well, there is Sasuke, he is one of four Uchiha that live here, and has the potential to unlock the Sharingan. Kitumaru, he is blind but can see tell where objects are by the way sound bounces off them. Then there is Naruto's group of friends… Naruto contains Kyuubi, which seems to grant him extreme regenerative powers. Gaara hold Shukaku, who gives him control over sand. Haku possesses a bloodline that was once common to Water Country, which gives him control of ice and water. Hinata has the Byakugan. Finally, Kimimaro last of his clan, and has the Dead Bone Pulse bloodline."
"That's quite a handful," Zabuza commented. "In The Mist we would have pitted them against each other, to the death."
"Isn't that why you joined this village?" Kurenai asked.
"Yes it is," Zabuza answered.
Meanwhile, Iruka continued to announce the teams, unaware the Namikage was eavesdropping on the proceedings.
"Alright," Iruka announced, "Team 1 will be: Temari, Kankuro, Tayuya, Dosu, Kin and Kitumaru; and your Sensei will be Yashamaru, Zabuza, and Anko."
Temari and Kankuro ignored the revelation, Tayuya let slip a very vulgar swear world, Dosu did nothing, Kin smirked, and Kitumaru stared straight ahead, his dull green eyes unfocused.
"Team 3: Ino, Sakura, Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru, and Chouji. Your Jounin sensei will be: Asuma, Genma, and Kurenai.
The whole class was then treated to the show of Sakura and Ino going into hysterics, at the thought of not being on the same team as Sasuke.
"And finally Team 5," Iruka announced, ignoring Ino and Sakura, "Hinata, Haku, Gaara, Kimimaro, Naruto, and Sasuke. Your Jounin sensei will be, Kakashi, Rin and Obito. Just wait here and your teachers will come to pick you up."
Team 1 was soon collected by a man with short blonde hair, a guy with black spiky hair, bandages covering his lower face, and a large square sword, and a woman with sort purple hair and a fishnet undershirt. Team 3 was picked up by a bearded man with a cigarette in his mouth, a guy with brown hair falling out of a bandana and a sebon needle in his mouth, and a woman with black hair, red eyes, and a dress that looked like a scroll wrapped around the body.
Team 5 was joining by a man with spiky silver hair, and a silk mask that covered his lower face, and a woman with brown hair and two red strips under her eyes.
5 hours later… Kakashi had taken out a little orange book and was giggling perversely at regular intervals. Rin was pacing, Naruto's group of friends were discussing different ways to utilize the replacement jutsu and Sasuke was incinerating flies with fire jutsus.
Finally the door slid open and a man with short black hair, and a pair of orange tinted goggles stepped in. "Sorry I'm late, I had to help get this old lady's cat out of a tree."
"Aw…" Kakashi muttered, putting away his book, "and it was just getting good. Well okay everyone meet on the roof."
The Jounin disappeared in a poof of smoke.
"Okay," Obito said when they were up on the roof. "Let's start by introducing yourself. I'll start. I like Rin here, I dislike that little orange book of yours, Kakashi, and my dream is beat Kakashi at a Ninjutsu contest."
"Well," Rin said stepping up, "I like medical ninjutsu and Obito, I dislike perverts, and my dream is to become a medic-nin of the level of the great Tsunade."
"Me?" Kakashi pondered, "I like the Icha Icha series, I dislike a lot of things, and my dream is none of your business. Okay you start first Naruto."
"Great!" Naruto yelled jumping up. "I like ramen, my dad, and orange! I dislike stuck up people and the three minutes it takes to make ramen! My dream is to become the Namikage!"
Haku stepped up next. "Like snow, rabbits, and water. I dislike prejudice and those who hate what they cannot control. My dream is to be able to protect those precious to me."
"Hm…" Gaara though before speaking, "I like sand. Hate that bastard of a Kazekage that killed my mother. I have no dream as of now."
"I like my friends," Kimimaro spoke. "I hate those who see others as nothing but tools. My dream is to prove my self better, then those that were my clan."
"Um… I-1 like… training with my friends a-and" Hinata blushed and looked at Naruto thought the corner of her eye. "I-I dislike those that are mean to Naruto-kun and Gaara for no reason. My dream is to prove to my father I am not weak and… "Hinata blushed and looked at Naruto.
"Well at least she thinks about training more then boys," Rin thought. "Those five seem pretty capable."
"I like my brother," Sasuke said after a pause. "I hate fangirls, and the fact you are always late, cousin Obito. My ambition is to become my brother's equal."
"Well, now that introductions are out of the way. We will be doing some survival training tomorrow." Kakashi said an evil glint in his eye.
"What kind of survival training?" Sasuke asked.
"Training to see if you are worthy of becoming ninjas," Kakashi answered smugly. "Out of all the Genin teams only three, will pass."
"What! Didn't we already do the ninja test?" Naruto roared.
"Yes you did," Rin answered. "But that is just to see if you have learned what they taught you. This test is to see if you really have what it takes."
"Yes, thank you Rin" Kakashi said. "Just show up at the bridge tomorrow, and don't eat breakfast; you might puke."
One hour later Naruto and his friends were sitting in their hideout.
"Okay," Haku said, as soon as they sat down. "We need to expand our arsenal if we are to stand a better chance of passing the Gennin test. Naruto try and learn some fire, water, earth and wind jutsus, so you can pack a little extra punch with ninjutsu. Gaara try a bit of Taijutsu and Elemental Ninjutsu, you can't keep relying on Shukaku. Hinata, keep working on that hybrid of the Jyuuken and Medic-Nin Taijutsu, you are developing. Kimimaro, see if you can find any more techniques that rely on your bloodline. I'll work on Genjutsu so we have at least one Genjutsu user in the group. Sounds good?"
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement of Haku's plan, and they began to train into the night.
Authors Note: Well managed to find a computer. So here is an update!
I realize Arashi may be a little OOC.
As for the presence of people like Zabuza, Haku, and Gaara… let's just say that they were refuges that joined the Hidden Fox.
As for using the English names for techniques… well I can remember the English names easier and I might add techniques that I created so I don't want to screw up on converting the English to Japanese and have the name mean something totally different.
