Based on a roleplaying game conducted by a friend of mine by the name of Rafael dos Anjos(AKA, GM or simply master) and played by Hugo Damas, Mário Abreu, Carlos Monteiro, Fred Freitas e Fábio Fontes.

What do I mean by that? The story you are about to read is based on a roleplaying game that me and my friends currently play, Rafael adapted a story from the series Naruto where several more characters exist, including two new very powerful Jonin level senseis. I will be leaving you commentaries to certain funny trivia they will be marked as such: # (hopefully funny) trivia comment#

All plots and secondary characters were thought out by Rafael, all actions and dialogues of the respective characters are responsibility of their players. Obviously it's based on the Naruto world so everything else is due credit to its respective creator:

The family Naokiren is made up by Hugo Damas in league with the GM's ideas(ps. Way before Yamato ever showed up):

Kurokawa(made up name) Tatsuya – Mario

Naokiren Katsuo – Me.

Hyuga Kinzoku – Fred.

Raijin - Fontes.

Hyuga Katashi – Carlos.

Enjoy please.

Chapter 3: How to pass an impossible challenge.

"But…" Tatsuya interrupted. "The hokage even, he was there. What was the point of that exam?"

"Ninjas don't argue orders from their superiors." Shinta stated. "Now follow me." He jumped out of the balcony. Tatsuya growled annoyed and followed, so did Katashi.

Katsuo sighed and jumped after him, still not thrilled about being in the same team as those two.

Shinta led them out of Konoha, through the forest that surrounded it. Katashi was attempting something, a technique. Tatsuya was just walking, quiet and wiggling with a kunai he was taking in his hand. Katsuo was rotating a leaf in his fingers. He led them unto a clearing in the middle which only tree was ONE right smack in the middle of it. The clearing was very big too.

"We're here."

Everyone snapped out of their thoughts and looked at their sensei.

"The test is fairly simple. Land ONE hit on me and you'll pass."

"What?" Katsuo asked.

"Uff…man, I was worried for a minute there." Katashi commented whilst Tatsuya yawned.

"Yes, well, start whenever you want." The sensei told them.

All three assumed fighting positions and Katashi was the first to strike. He jumped at the sensei to punch him and he did it pretty fast too but Shinta threw a smoke bomb against the ground. When the smoke cleared, Katashi had clearly gone through it and the sensei was gone.

Katsuo and Tatsuya looked around but didn't spot him. Both had a simple idea, make it harder for an ambush to happen.

"Ha bushin no jutso."

"Bushin no jutso." Katsuo made a clone, Tatsuya made two. Both Katsuos hopped into the tree filled area at his left. One of the Tatsuya's jumped back, the other two went right. Katashi did some sort of short dance and stopped in a position, apparently wanting to be ambushed.

Shinta looked at the scenery and thought:

Clever. Bushins so I don't know exactly who to hit. They take cover while their taijutso expert is the bait to lure me out. He's the most likely to avoid an attack, the Hyuga…

He looked closer at Katashi and confirmed he didn't have that yet.

But he doesn't seem to be able to do that yet...their problem is the worst a ninja can have, underestimation. Leaving a Genin to hold off against a Jonin... they need a lesson, now let's see if I can do this without killing him.

He suddenly jumped out of the bushes, speeding up towards Katashi who takes a second to look in his direction, a fist already an arms length from him. He leaned to dodge but wouldn't be on time. The punch hit with enough force to send him flying against the line of trees, crushing a few of them…if it were Katashi; the figure vanished because it was a bushin.

What? When did he?

2 Shurikens and a Kunai came soaring from the nearest forest line, Shinta hopped back easily avoiding them but when he was about to land he noticed one more heading to intercept his gut.

Good, but not good enough

With an imperceptible motion, he hopped in the air, literally double jumped to avoid it. He saw Katashi jumping out of a hole in the ground and the others arriving now with their clones, intending to catch him in the air.

Oh, I see now. He did a clone as he cross the smoke bomb and made it leave the smoke area whilst he dug himself a hole and hid. His clone was in front of the hole so I didn't see…lucky, but I guess that's enough to win over your opponent. Look at them, they think they got me.

Below him Katsuo and Tatsuya and their clones throw kunais at Shinta. He clearly saw through the illusion kunais by their reaction to the wind and whirled and front flipped dodging them all. Then he started making some seals.

Jonin making seals! Katsuo told himself, dashing away with his clones, fleeing. Tatsuya only reacted when he saw Shinta bringing his hands to his mouth:

Crap! Katon! He jumped away trying to be fast enough.

Katashi, though, had been slowed down from getting out of the hole and was, therefore, unable to exit the blast zone in time.

I better go easy.

"Katon-Karyuu Endan!" #that's right, hokage level jutsu, isn't our master nice?#

A minute version of his flaming missile erupted from inside his hand, hitting the ground with an explosion. Tatsuya still suffered some damage, losing a clone. Katashi was basically half done in.

Tatsuya retreated into the forest line and Shinta landed more than safely. He glanced around for incoming weapons but nothing. He looked to the side and saw Katashi running away.

"Heh." He smirked. Go ahead and rest, you have until sunrise tomorrow after all.

Shinta jumped back to the forest line again.

The battlefield was now clear, a little smouldering crater next to a dug up hole but the rest was peaceful, enjoying the wind and the tune to which they oscillated, the trees and even the grass. After a few minutes, Tatsuya and his two clones come out, along with Katsuo and his.

Seeking direct confrontation when they are clearly outmatched is very wrong. Let's see if I can make them understand that…

5 Kunais flew through the air as Shinta dashed towards his students. All of them dodged the kunais and shurikens soar through the air back at Shinta who leaped over them and made some seals:

Hope you at least came prepared for this technique, since you've seen it.

"Katon-Karyuu Endan!"

The fire rocket blew, hard without quarter, leaving behind nothing more than smoke and a second crater. He didn't see them evading it.

Oh crap…I killed them?

Katsuo jumped out of the tree line, Shinta's right, Tatsuya already running throwing three shurikens; he saw them through his peripheral vision.

Oh! All bushins...ok.

He drew his sword from behind his back, hitting the shurikens against the ground as he landed. Both of them stopped on their tracks.

Whoah…big sword. Katsuo thought.

"The hell is this? You a samurai or something?" Tatsuya asked, offensively.

Shinta frowned, offended. He let go of the sword, did some seals and said while pulling two slightly shorter and thinner swords apart:

"Mugenjin Nibai Kyouran no jutso."

"I hate you Tatsuya…" Katsuo stated as a reaction. Tatsuya looked at him as their sensei waved the swords to throw them, and smirked:

"Good luck surviving."

He stepped into a puddle of water in the middle of the grass saying:

"Mizu Shunshin no jutso."

He was absorbed into the puddle of water, just in time to evade a decapitation.

"Ah!" Katsuo reacted ducking and very barely evading the second sword. He was left alone…against a Jonin.

"Please don't kill me!" Katsuo shouted, getting back up.

"What kind of ninja are you?" Shinta asked, diminishing. Katsuo had a sudden feel of danger and turned his head to see both swords coming back at him, torso and legs.

"Kawarimi no jutso!" Katsuo frantically shouted. The swords cut him in three pieces but the three pieces turn into logs.

He can do kawarimi huh?

A light explosion of very little smoke resonates behind Shinta, right before a shout:

"AHHHHHH!!" The ridiculous part about this is that it was a terrified shout, not a killer one.

Katsuo sunk a Kunai in Shinta's shoulder and, instead of blood gushing out, the body simply disappeared in a puff of, yet again, smoke.

"A kage bushin??" Katsuo noted, very nervous.

A kage! He can do a kage bushin??

Katsuo didn't move; he observed his surroundings trying to decide whether to retreat back or not. He was very nervous. If the sensei could clone himself like that, any attempt to form a trap would be triggered by the clone whilst the original attacked from his hideout, if that original wasn't a clone himself...while Katsuo confused himself, Shinta thought to himself, amidst the greenery of trees, branches and leafs.

So Katsuo can do kawarimis and Tatsuya can do that shushin thing. Well they seem proficient at using them; let's see just how proficient.

Three Shintas leapt out of the forest line and ran towards Katsuo from all three fronts.

"uh…" Katsuo broke, not knowing what to do, his strategic mind telling him to run, his limbs reacting otherwise. The three of them leapt at him but one's intercepted, at jumping moment, by a rising Tatsuya holding a Kunai that sinks it on his belly, disappearing again immediately lest one of the others do something to harm him.

"Kawarimi!" Katsuo shouted desperate, when he could tell how close the swords were by hearing the wind being cut.

He disappeared, both Shintas span around to cut the ambushing Katsuo but they heard nothing and saw nothing. They joined back, checked for puddles to confirm Tatsuya couldn't get them and then heard the scream:

"WHOOOOAHHHHH"

The sound of Katsuo falling; he had appeared in the sky and was now falling unto the forest.

"KAWARIMI!". He disappeared and showed up above the forest but on the opposite end.

"Ahhhh, Kawarimi!"

So the first one was luck…

He showed up in front of the senseis. They looked at him, he looked at them back.

"AH! Kawarimi!"

He disappeared, this time showing up unseen, inside the forest. Both senseis massaged their forehead, wiping the disappointed tear of sweat on it and sighed.

Inside the forest, Katsuo met up with Katashi, breathing deeply from the fright.

"We need a plan." Katashi said, spiteful due to his burns which still hurt.

"He can do kage bushin." Katsuo told him, in between gasps. "We have to get room for Tatsuya, he's stuck in a puddle."

"I saw, stupid Water Boy." Katashi mocks. "But no, we need to concentrate on the sensei."

They were both watching the landscape; the two Shintas were laying in wait. Suddenly, a puff of smoke starts rising up from the tree in the middle of the clearing.

"There." Katsuo said. "He's there."

"In the tree? How'd you figure that, that could be anything."

"I put a clone there, to fake an ambush later. Sensei must have arrived there and kill it." He was calmer now, Katsuo.

"Well, he'll always see us coming and we can't see him. And his clones can see us so…we need a plan."

"We need our third member. Let's send clones to draw them back so Tatsuya can retreat to the tree line, then we'll think of something else."

"Yeah, ok."

Katashi did some seals and created a clone. Naokiren did the same:

"Bushin no jutso."

"Ha bushin no jutso."

When the clones appeared, Katsuo saw, from his point of view, the real Katashi flinging forward killing his clone as he's expelled out of the tree line, thrown to crash against one of the clones.

Katsuo turned his head and observed Shinta finishing the spinning kick, landing his foot on the vertical tree. He leapt towards him.

"kawarimi!" Shinta cut Katsuo in half, and then each half turned into half a log and Shinta thought, accordingly:

Man, that's annoying!

Little did the sensei know that was a feeling to be shared by many enemies, if not every enemy, that ever faced off against the aforementioned Leaf Boy…

Back on the clearing, the blow that Katashi took to the back of the head had rendered him disoriented; one of the Shintas caught him and turned around towards the second one which drew his sword and pointed it at his chest. He dashed forward and Katsuo showed up to Katashi's left, noticing it.

"Hey! You're going to kill him!"

Shinta didn't react, simply carried on.

No! Katsuo thought, acknowledging that was exactly the point.

He had expected him to play defensive and evasive tactics but he was being horrifically violent and aggressive.

He's gotta be bluffing. He can't just kill a Genin…

Katashi meanwhile regained consciousness and rapidly became aware of his situation.

"Hey! What the…?" He tried to force himself free but failed. "Stop! What're you doing?" He asked, very worried.

Tatsuya again rose from a puddle of water, kunai in hand to stick in the sensei but he leapt forward and above Tatsuya still intending to shove his sword through Katashi's chest. Katsuo dashed forward and threw 2 kunais and 3 shurikens to intercept him. All of them are intercepted by a flying sword sent from the lone tree.

"Gahhh! NO!"

Katsuo leapt and placed himself in between Shinta and Katashi whilst Tatsuya threw shurikens at his back. Katsuo intended in pushing the sword with a kunai but he dropped it in the midst of frantically hurrying and thus attempted to close his hands on the blade to stop its movement with sheer force.

The tip of the sword stopped at his chest, Shinta disappeared, the Shinta grabbing hold of Katashi also disappeared and another landed on the floor out of nowhere. Katashi, in frightful gasps, tried to regain normal breathing; Tatsuya already getting back inside the puddle and Katsuo rotating intending to protect Katashi in the one or two seconds he needed to recompose himself. But, fortunately, this was the real Shinta and the test was now over.

"The end. You pass the test."

Tatsuya stopped his teleportation half way, Katsuo half lowered his guard but Katashi pushed him aside and yelled:

"WHAT?"

"You pass the test, you are definitely Genins."

"We didn't touch you." Tatsuya pointed out, showing up. "we didn't…"

"You didn't sacrifice each other in order to win. That's what really matters but if you have a problem with that I can arrange for some…"

"Nononono. We don't! We're Genins, cool!"

"No no, Tatsuya is right. Technically you failed so let's do a second test." He smirked. #moral of the story, don't be a smartass with the master. More on that on a later chapter…#

Katsuo put his kunai back in his bag while glancing at Tatsuya, whispering:

"I hate you so much…"

"Something simple, get back to Konoha." Shinta told them.

"Wha…just that?" Katashi asked, doubtful.

"Yeah, you can do that right?" He started making some seals, bit a finger a bit, wet it on the floor and proclaimed:

"Kuchiyose no jutso". Smoke and his summon was visible, a giant bird.

"GAWRK!!" a very fat giant bird that crouched and bowed down so Shinta could climb on. Mounting him, he told his newest students.

"I'll see you there then." And waved goodbye, as the bird set off flying. The students just watched in disbelief.

"Just get to Konoha? Bah. He just wanted to show off his Jutsos, I imagine. That's probably all he has!" Tatsuya commented. "He was going to pass us no matter what, I'm sure of it."

"Yeah, wise guy? Ok, where to?" Katashi asked.

"What do you mean where to? To Konoha we march." Tatsuya replied, starting to walk.

"Right, where to." Katashi again questioned.

"Oh my god, don't tell me none of us took notice of Sensei's path to get here…" Katsuo noticed it then.

Katashi shook his head indicating he hadn't, Katsuo scratched his head and said:

"I was a little distracted and I'm not that good at tracking yet…" He explained, apologetically.

Tatsuya realized he couldn't remember the way back either.

"…fffffffUUUUCK!" Birds flew off frightened and startled at the sudden scream.
