A/N: Hi again. Time for the next update. Only a few more to go! Here come the tests. No warnings this time, but a little comedy injected for fun. Enjoy!

-----

After everyone settled in, Kakashi said, "Raylin, that lava jutsu you talked about. Show us that first. Direct it at that rock formation over there."

Raylin looked at the rock formation he pointed to. It was a beautifully carved rock! She said, "But Kakashi, that's a lovely piece of art and,"

"It's fine, go ahead."

"But, it'll melt."

"That's fine. Show us."

Raylin thought he doesn't believe me! He doesn't believe I can do what I say I can do! Well if that's the case, there will be nothing left of that rock when I get done with it. She got a serious look in her eye and Sasuke said, "Everybody get back. I think you pissed her off Kakashi." She shot a sideways look at Sasuke, concentrated her chakra, injected her wind element and blew in earth, creating a gigantic flow of white hot lava that slammed into the rock, superheating it and melting it from the top down. She kept blowing out her chakra until the once beautiful piece of art was a flowing molten river. It oozed as it cooled and turned an angry red.

She turned to Kakashi whose eye was wide, "Sorry," she said a bit sarcastically. "And by the way, I can control it too. Make a whip out of it to fling in a circle – offense and defense that way. I can make it into sailing hot needles. I can concentrate it, and drill holes through things. That's how I got Kissime." All the spectators were listening carefully now.

Kakashi stared at her. Raylin just stood there looking at him with her arms crossed, waiting for his next request. Once he collected himself he decided to try another approach. "Mind transfer jutsu. You said you used it on Kabuto. Use it on me." He activated his sharingan, she activated hers. He started to move, but she hit him with it before he got two steps away. Sasuke caught her as she slumped. While she was in Kakashi's mind, she thought of what she could do to make everyone believe she was there so she said in Kakashi's voice, "I'm going to go jump in that red hot lava and take a scorching bath. Anyone care to join me?" Then she pranced over toward it exaggerating her/his steps, swinging Kakashi's hips only to turn around and say, "Just kidding." She walked Kakashi back to the group and said, "Release," and flew back to her own mind. Her eyes fluttered and she looked up at Sasuke, who just laughed and said, "You're terrible."

"I know. But he asked for it." She regained her composure quickly and Kakashi said,

"You really were in my mind." The whispers started again. "Ok, you said you could learn any jutsu. You wanted to learn Shikamaru's shadow possession jutsu. Shikamaru! Come down here and show her how it's done."

Shikamaru walked over mumbling about what a drag it was to be put on the spot like that. He said, "Alright, Raylin is it? Here's how I do it." She listened intently as he told her how and where to concentrate her chakra, and what kind for that matter. She memorized his hand seals. Then he said, "Here, I'll show you. Kakashi, stand there." Kakashi stood still and Shikamaru did his shadow possession jutsu. He captured Kakashi who couldn't move. Shikamaru said, "Everything I do, he does, but in turn, every time someone does something to him, since we're connected, I feel it too. So if someone punched him in the guts, I'd take the shot too." Shikamaru released him.

Raylin was dying to try it. Kakashi approached her, "Wanna try it? It's a bit complicated."

She said, not trying to come off as a smart ass, "Chidori was complicated, but I got that one the first try too."

Sasuke said, "Before you doubt her, she did. Does more damage than mine."

Kakashi said, "Go ahead then, shadow possess me."

She concentrated her chakra, did the hand seals and flung her shadow out from her body and caught Kakashi. She jumped up and down saying, "I did it! This is great!" Kakashi jumped up and down while she did. "Oh sorry Kakashi. I got a little excited there. But while I've got you, let's have a little fun. What does Kakashi wear, boxers or briefs?" All the spectator's heads turned to see what Kakashi might be sporting under his pants.

Kakashi said, "You wouldn't!"

"You don't know me too well do you?" She put her hands on her own pants, he mirrored her movements.

"Come on Raylin, the 5th's making me do this."

"I know. Why can't I have any fun?" She undid her pants – he did too. She did the motions to pull her pants down, but stopped. She released him and said, "Ok, I'll be good. You look like a boxer-briefs kind of guy anyway Kakashi."

"How did you know?" All the spectators laughed. Sasuke was holding his stomach. Naruto was practically busting a gut.

Kakashi was a little flustered. So he said, "Get ready and show me something from the different elements I call out. Any technique will do. Earth – Go!"

Hand seals and he was strung up like Orochimaru. She said, "That's what I did to Orochimaru, that's how we immobilized him and pulled out his soul."

She released him, "Water – Now!" Out of thin air she produced a wall of water between herself and Kakashi. "That's the 2nd's technique," Kakashi said as he marveled at the water that appeared out of nowhere.

Raylin said, "It is? I never knew. Wow."

"Lightning." He watched as Raylin rapidly went through the hand seals he was very familiar with. She concentrated and showed him her massive chidori; she slammed it in to the wall, causing part of the building to collapse.

"I'm really sorry about that, but you wanted to see it," she apologized.

"Wind."

She took out a shuriken, infused it with wind and casually flicked it. It went straight through a tree, through a rock, and embedded itself about four inches in a stone wall.

"I won't ask about fire, already seen that one."

"Are you satisfied yet?"

"Almost. I'm curious. You've used the 4th's technique, and I've just seen you do the 2nd's. Can you do the 1st's?"

"I don't know, what is it?"

"He could make a forest where there was none. He could grow trees from rock. Most of the growth here in Konoha was created by him. Could you do that?"

"I don't know. I never tried."

"Those trees there were grown by him years ago."

"May I go see them?"

"Sure." She walked over to the bushy growth and put her hands in it. The tree was a living thing and it contained some of the 1st's chakra in it still. She understood the 1st Hokage in that instant and then turned and walked over to Naruto. She said, "You have something from the 1st don't you? You have the same energy that the trees have."

"I do? I do!" He reached inside his shirt and produced the 1st's necklace. "I won this from Granny Tsunade in a bet. It was he grandfather's necklace. Her grandfather was the 1st Hokage.

"It's beautiful. May I touch it?"

"Sure. Here." He held it out to her. She looked at it, admiring it. Then she clasped her hand around it feeling its energy, the chakra it still contained.

"Thank you Naruto. I'm ready to try it now."

Kakashi said, "You're not serious. From feeling a tree and a necklace you can make a forest grow?"

"Where do you want it?"

"Come on, you can't be serious!"

"I am. Where do you want it?" Everyone was watching now.

Kakashi said, "Right here in the middle of the arena will be fine."

"I'll just make a little one, because you still need to train in here."

"Ok then, just make a little forest. Go right ahead. Whenever you're ready."

"Ok." She concentrated her earth element and added a bit of water to it. She did the hand seals she thought would do it, she closed her eyes, and then pushed her hands down and pulled them back up again as if she were lifting a heavy weight. Shoots, then sticks, then branches and trunks came bursting from the earth pushing quickly to the sky, with flowering leaves and brilliant greenery. As her energy continued to flow, the trees continued to grow, getting larger, crowding each other, pushing upward, until finally Sasuke touched her shoulder, "Raylin, I think that's good." She looked at him, and then looked up at what she'd produced, about ten thick trees were in front of her, and they had to be thirty feet tall.

Kakashi said, "You are unbelievable. How did you do that? You're impossible."

Raylin asked him, "I've done your 1st, 2nd, and 4th's techniques, what are the 3rd and 5th's specialties?"

Naruto spoke up, "The 3rd was like you; he learned practically everything. The 5th is super strong and can summon things. Big animals to fight for her."

Raylin said, "So you say I'm similar to the 3rd, and I'm pretty sure I can do the 5th's summoning jutsu. I remember signing some kind of contract, but Orochimaru never taught me how to summon anything."

Naruto told her, "I could show you the seals."

Kakashi said, "That may not be a good idea. Not here, not today anyway."

Sasuke said, "So you believe that she can learn anything now?"

"I'm just amazed she has the amount of chakra she has to keep performing like this."

Raylin walked over to Kakashi. She noticed that he had a cut on his forearm from her rocks grabbing him. "I have other talents too Kakashi, ones we haven't gotten into yet. Here, let me look." She pointed to his arm. He held it out to her showing her the cut. She put her hand over it, concentrating her healing chakra. His cut sealed itself and healed right before their eyes. "I'm a medical ninja too. Quite a skilled one I might add."

Kakashi looked at her, and then looked at Sasuke. "You two come with me." The spectators watched them as they walked over to some steps where they sat down. Kakashi said to Sasuke quietly, "Sasuke, I need to test you too. I know you've evolved your chidori, what else have you done?" Sasuke proceeded to tell him how he'd learned how to manipulate his fire and lightning elements in all kinds of ways. He also learned forbidden killing jutsu.

Sasuke said, "In the spirit of not holding anything back Kakashi, you should know, Raylin has the mongaque."

"How? You're still here."

Raylin spoke up, "I killed Orochimaru. When I was young, he was my best friend, my only friend."

"I see. My God, there is no limit to you Raylin. Your strength is limitless, your chakra immense, your control unbelievable. And mixed with Sasuke, I do believe that you two would be unstoppable. I'm going to go back and report to Hokage now. Why don't you two come with me? I'll get you some food, but I'll still have to put you in the "isolation tank" until Hokage says otherwise.

Sasuke said, "That's fine. We'll wait for her decision."

Kakashi rose and made an announcement to the spectators that the testing was complete for the time being. Then he led Sasuke and Raylin back inside to await the Hokage's decision.
