Chapter 5:
Ready, Set, Go
With plans in mind and a very good night of sleep, the new genin walked to the academy. They had just gotten new weapons too. Ankoku and Hikari got new Katanas, and they were sheathed on their backs. If Ankoku unsheathed her's, you see a very beautiful sword. The hilt was a very cherry oak red. At the end of hilt there is a tassel that has three black chakra crystals on it. The blade is thin and black. It also had the Uzumaki symbol engraved in silver on it. If Hikari unsheathes his you see a cherry oak red metal blade. It has the Uzumaki symbol engraved in it as well, only in blue. The Hilt was a charcoal black with a white chakra crystal on it. When they pour their demonic chakra in it, the blades become lighter and adapt to their wind affinity chakra.
Mikoto and ShiShi were carrying sheathed short swords on their backs. Mikoto has silver and black blades. The Uchiha crest was engraved every two inches. The hilts were white and had small Uchiha crests on them also. ShiShi has similar blades except they were red and blue. The Uchiha crests were painted on them in black and white. When they activate Sharingan, the blades become longer and adapt to fire jutsu. It adapts the best to Katon: Gokayou no jutsu. They also have clear chakra crystals melted into the metal.
Tite carries many weapons scrolls. They contain many kunai, senbon, and senbon. Most weapons are poisoned, naturally, when summoned. It never misses, also when chakra is added the poison becomes stronger. Also the weapons become sharper and adapt to his water affinity chakra.
Miki has her fan on her back. The frames are made out of a light, yet strong metal. The Nara crest and the kanji for love are also on the frames. The fabric on the fan is very tight linen. The three moons on it are an Onyx black, and have white Nara clan crests in them. When she adds chakra to it, the fan becomes as light as a feather, and the gusts of wind become deadly. Her Chakra affinity is wind, so she uses her fan to her advantage.
Inu also has short swords. The Blade is a white, pearly white and the hilt is blood red. The Inuzuka clan symbol was in the hilt at the end. She also had blood red chakra crystals on it. The swords have a snatch where they connect. When they are together with the jutsu, Beast mimicry, the sword along with Inu and Sanbi change forms. The sword grows longer, shaper, and the blades change from pearly white, to blood red. Her chakra affinity is earth, is the sword is harder than the hardest steel when chakra is added.
Tora was sulking, "Why did you guys get such cool weapons. All I have are stupid kunai, shuriken, and exploding tags. It's just not fair!" The group started laughing. Ankoku got her breath and said, "Tora, you always seen me, Inu, Tite, and Hikari training, and you just now see we have short swords, katanas, weapons scrolls, and fans? A ninja can not be dense." 'Even, though Tou-san is.' Hikari thought while cringing. Tora just continued to sulk. "Hey Tite-Kun," Inu said randomly, "How many weapons are actually in those weapons scrolls? I always wondered that since TenTen-sama showed me." Tite looked like he was thinking hard and boy was he. 'Okay, I put in 50 kunai, 700 senbon, 50 shuriken,15 demon wind shuriken, 20 jablins, 80 flails and flares. Okay, how much is that? Ichi, Ni, San…. Okay that's 995.' Tite thought. He had cleared his throat, "I had sealed 995 weapons in each of the scrolls." When he looked up he noticed his friends were not following him, he looked back to see them with there jaws to the ground. He got annoyed in 2.5 seconds, "Nani? I'm serious."
About ten minutes after that episode, they arrived at the academy. They had to split up. They had all said there good byes and left to their designated places.
With Ankoku, Inu, Tite, and Kakashi
"Ohayo, Kakashi-sensei!" Ankoku shouted while giving him a hug. Kakashi laughed and hugged back, "Hi Ankoku, Tite, Inu. How are you doing today?" He was rewarded with a unanimous reply of, "Okay," from the genin. "Well to be honest, the reason I called you all here is so you can take the real test to become genin." Kakashi said nonchalantly. Of course knowing this they had just played along. Ankoku and Inu faked gasped, while Tite was trying his hardest to not double over laughing. 'Might as well make this interesting.' Ankoku thought amused. She was sometimes thankful for Kit inside her, or she wouldn't have anything to suppress her laughter. "I thought that exam at the academy was the real one? How come we have to take another one?" 'I have a feeling they already know this explanation, I better be safe though.' Kakashi thought. "The thing is only 9 ninja are allowed to become genin every six months. This is because there will be more war if there is more ninja. The actual chance of you passing is 68 at best, so do your best at it." Kakashi informed. The three shouted, "Okay!" before Kakashi started to talk again. "Meet me at the west training ground eleven. There we will take the test. Oh and by the way, last one there doesn't get lunch." He said before disappearing in a puff of smoke. Just then Ankoku turned around with a sadistic smirk on her face. "See ya, guys." She said as she did the seals Tiger and Rabbit. She was gone in a puff of smoke. She never heard them shout, "You damn cheater!"
With Hikari, Mikoto, ShiShi, and Kurenai
"Hello Kurenai-sensei." The three genin said in a bored tone. "Ohayo meina, did you bring your ninja gear?" Kurenai asked. The three nodded and sat down in their desks. 'I might as well tell them now.' She thought. "Okay the reason I called you here is so you can take the test to become real genin. The exam you took two days ago was a test to see who had the potential to actually become one. The chance of you actually passing this test is 70 at best. So I want you to do your best." Kurenai informed. All ready knowing this they had just tuned her out and thought about their plan. When they heard her finish they snapped back at attention and replied, "Okay." Kurenai continued to talk, "I want you to meet me at the forty-third training field. The last one there has to do one hundred push-ups." With that she left in a puff of smoke. Hikari and ShiShi had done the seals Tiger and Rabbit before leaving in a puff of smoke, leaving a very pissed off Mikoto to do the push-up punishment.
With Tora, Miki, and Shino
"Ohayo meina," Shino said as Miki and Tora walked up to him. "I am going to get straight to the point. The reason I asked you to come today is because you are going to take a test to see if you are qualified to become genin. The graduation exam you had taken was to see which students could manage to become a genin. The actual percentage of you passing is about 69. So do your best on it." He finished. Miki and Tora already knew this and listened to him quietly. When they heard him finish, they replied with a dull, "Hai," Once Shino thought they had absorbed all the information he continued, "I want you to meet me at the fifth north training ground. We will do the test there. If you are not there in five minutes you automatically fail." With that said he disappeared in a puff of smoke. This was no problem for them though, they knew the teleportation jutsu. They did the seals Tiger and Rabbit quickly, and left in two puffs of smoke.
Back with Ankoku, Inu, Tite, and Kakashi
Once Ankoku appeared at training ground eleven, she walked up to Kakashi to scare the shit out of him. She crept up behind him, but never got the chance to scare him. She took one look at the dreaded Icha Icha paradise book and she was on the floor passed out, from a major nosebleed. Kakashi heard the loud thump and tuned around. He had sweatdropped when he saw Ankoku on the floor with blood on her nose. 'I should have been paying attention. I knew she was going to try and scare me. Oh well.' Kakashi woke up the distraught girl and waited for the others. When they finally came into view, they could see Tite and Inu sprinting to get to them first. In the end though, Tite was last. All you could hear was laughing and two thumps as Ankoku and Inu fell on the floor from laughing. Tite was the one to speak up, "It wasn't fair, Ankoku-nee-chan, used a teleportation jutsu. Of course she got here first." Kakashi chuckled and said, "I never said how you can get here, and plus she got a punishment of her own." At this Ankoku's face turned bright pink, she growled, and she sent a glare to Kakashi that said, 'Tell them what happened, I dare ya.' Kakashi just chuckled again. He then cleared his throat and said, "Well let's get down to business," he then took out two bells, "You guys are going to have to take these bells from me. Who ever doesn't, will not get any lunch, just like Tit-kun over, here. If you do not come at me with the intent to kill, you will not get the bells. You may use any weapons you want, even your katanas and short swords. You have until one o' clock. Do you understand?" They all nodded. "You may start when I say, Begin." He then left in a puff of smoke. He never seen the communication radios they had on their necks.
Back with Hikari, Mikoto, ShiShi, and Kurenai
Once Hikari and ShiShi arrived at the 43rd training ground they started laughing their asses off. Hikari said between laughs, "Did you see her face once we did the hand seals? That was priceless." The memory made him laugh harder. Neko was even laughing, 'I guess teaching you kids the teleportation jutsu was useful. If you want to see the face again when we go home, go into meditation.' 'Will do!' He then heard a thump and saw ShiShi on the floor clutching her stomach from laughing. She managed to gasp out, "Okay I am so lucky I activated my Sharingan, I had burned that image in my head forever. I wonder what she will look like when she comes?" She said the last part mainly to herself. "Why don't you as her yourself." A very pissed off Mikoto said. She ran up to ShiShi with the two, tome Sharingan on, "If you weren't my sister you'd be dead!" She then ran up to a scared Hikari, "If you weren't my idol's son and my best friend's brother you'd be worst than dead!" She then dropped down to the ground and did the 100 push-ups, albeit grudgingly. After she was done, which was in about two minutes, Kurenai had finally shown up. "Okay meina, who got here last?" She asked as the genin. Mikoto raised her hand still fuming, she said, "I had already did the push-ups. I have two cheating witnesses." ShiShi and Hikari were trying to hold in their laughter. "How did they chea- They used the teleportation jutsu didn't they? Well that is not cheating. They used a jutsu they knew. Anyway, I am going to hide in this forest surrounding us, you are going to have to find me while facing obstacles like wild animals, traps, and food depletion. You have twelve hours. You may start when I finish this sentence." She never noticed the tracking device in her kunai pouch.
Back with Miki, Tora, and Shino
Obviously Miki and Tora had made it to the 5th training ground in less five minutes. They had gone over their plans one more time, when Shino had popped out of no where, scaring the crap out of them. "What the hell, Shino-sensei! Are you trying to give me and Miki heart attacks?" Tora yelled to his sensei. Shino just blew the comment aside, "Okay now that we're here, you are going to take the test. You are going to have to use your jutsu to break the moving targets (I couldn't think of anything better, so bear with me. -') . The targets are colored differently for the different jutsu affinities. Red for fire, dark blue for water, light blue for wind, green for earth, silver for lightning, and clear for sound. The targets will only break if the right chakra affinity hits it. There are about sixty targets here and you have six hours. Begin!" Shino had explained. The two genin then started with the water and wind affinity chakra.
