Chapter 2: Team 13 Pass or Fail.
Asuma-Sensei led his team through the streets till they reached a Barbra-Q Restaurant. When the four Genin saw this they grew confused.
"Asuma-Sensei why are we here. Shouldn't we be training?" Naruto asked.
"First I want to learn more about my team and what better way than over Barbra-Q. It's my treat." Asuma-Sensei said, the four Genin gave a cheer and they all entered to the restaurant. They took their seats in one of the booths, Naruto and Hinata on one side and Aaron and Ino on the other with Asuma-Sensei at the top of the table. After ordering there food Asuma addressed his team.
"Ok here's what were going to do, I want you to tell me your names, like, dislikes, hobbies, and your goals. I'll go first. My name is Sarutobi Asuma, I like smoking and Shogi. My dislikes are my father. My hobbies are playing Shogi. I don't think I have a goal. Ok who want to go first?" Asuma asked. No one spoke up. "Ok than ladies first." He said looking at Ino.
"My name is Yamanaka Ino. I like flowers and..."She trailed off thinking of Sasuke, "I dislike a curtain pink haired Kunoichi and a curtain loud mouth loser," She said looking at Naruto."My hobbies are helping my parent in their flower shop, and my goal is one day be the best kunoichi and win the love of..."again trailing off thinking about Sasuke.
'Great, she's an Uchiha Fan girl.' Asuma thought. "Ok how about you." Asuma said looking at Hinata. She turned a red in the face as everyone looked at her.
"M...my name is Hyuuga Hinata. M...my likes are..." Hinata turned even redder when she thought of Naruto. "My dislikes a...are people who judge other before meeting them, m...my hobbies a...are training with my Father, and my g...goal is to change t...the way my clan is ran." Hinata finally was able to get out.
'She's really shy but I think we can fix that.' "Ok blonde you're up" Asuma said as their food arrived. Asuma started cooking it on the grills in front of him.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto; my likes are ramen, all kinds of ramen. My dislikes are the three minutes it takes to cook ramen. My hobbies are eating ramen and pranking. My goal is to one day be Hokage. Believe it!" Naruto said before eating a piece of cooked meat.
'He is so much like his father and mother at the same time.' Asuma then turned to the last member of his team. "Last but not least, you're up."
"My name is Mizuryu Aaron. My likes are reading. My dislike are the same as Hinata's, I hate people who judge other before meeting them. My hobbies are reading and spending time with my friends. My goal is to one day surpass my father."
'Not a lot with him but he might be a good strategist.' "Ok now that we know each other I'll tell you what's going to happen. The rest of the day you have off to get ready for the true Genin test." Asuma-Sensei said. This made everyone stop eating.
"True Genin test? What are you talking about we already took a test to become Genin." Ino Said.
"That test was to see if you ready be a Genin. This test is to see if you can work as a team. Tomorrow you will par-take in a survival test, and this test has a 66 passing rate. Tonight get a good dinner and good-nights rest. And tomorrow don't eat breakfast, or you'll puke. Be there at 9:00" Asuma said before getting up, paid for the bill and left the four Genin.
"Crap." Aaron was the first to speak.
"W...what do w...we do now?" Hinata asked.
"I don't know Hinata" Ino said.
"Me either." Naruto said trying to think.
"I think I have an idea." Aaron said, all turned to look at him. "My family house has a dojo and library we can use to, and unlike the Hyuuga residence we have no one to bother us. No offence Hinata." Aaron said before eating a piece of meat.
"T...that's not a bad I...idea, and n...none taken." Hinata said.
"What about your parents?" Ino asked.
"Aaron's parents died while on a mission so now he lives alone like I do." Naruto said.
"Naruto's right. When my parents died I was left the family manor to myself."
"Then what are we waiting for. Let's go!" Ino said. The four finished eating and left for the Mizuryu Manor
Team 13 was standing outside Aaron's home. It was bigger than both Naruto's and Ino's combined but wasn't as big as the Hyuuga or Uchiha. Aaron then led his team into his house, first showing them the dojo and then the library.
"Amazing." Was all Naruto and Ino could say.
"Thanks but I don't think it's anything compared to the Hyuuga manor."
"T...there are a few d...differences. Our library and living q...quarters are bigger but t...the dojos are the same. A...also it's less crowded." Hinata said pushing her fingers together.
"Thanks Hinata. So what should we do first?" Aaron asked. Naruto was against going into the library while Ino didn't want to get to tired and injured before tomorrow and Hinata wanted to do whatever Naruto wanted. In the end Naruto and Hinata sparred while Ino and Aaron read in the Library. After about three hours Hinata and Ino left saying that if they didn't they would get in trouble with their families. Naruto was about to leave before Aaron stopped him.
"Naruto, why don't we go for some ramen?" Aaron asked.
"Ramen! Let's go." Naruto cheered pumping his fist in the air.
"Ok, calm down. And don't go overboard on the ramen." And with that being said, Naruto and Aaron left the Mizuryu manor.
The next day Team 13 was waiting in the training field for Asuma-Sensei. Naruto was sitting on top of one of the middle logs. Aaron was sitting against the same one Naruto was sitting on; Ino was standing against the right log while Hinata was by the left. Nothing had changed in any of their appearances except Aaron now had a Katana at his side.
"Where the hell is he?" Naruto said growing impatient.
"N...naruto-Kun it's o...only 8:50." Hinata said to the blond.
"I remember my father once saying something about a situation like this, if your early you're on time, if you're on time your late." Aaron said standing up from his spot.
"What does that mean?" Ino asked.
"Basically saying if you're early then you have time to prepare. If you're on time you have no time." Everyone turned around to see Asuma-Sensei walking towards them.
"Asuma-Sensei, finally!" Naruto said jumping off the log. The rest of the team filled in front of Asuma.
"Looks like your all ready." Asuma said as he finished the cigarette he had been smoking. Asuma then reached in his pocket and pulled out two bells. "Your mission is to retrieve these bells from me using anything necessary. The two who don't get a bell while be sent back to the Academy. Any questions?" Asuma asked the four Genin in front of him.
"How long do we have?" Ino asked.
"Three hours." Asuma answered. "If no one has anymore question, BEGAN!" As Asuma finished the four Genin hid in the bushes and trees. 'Good they know basic hiding' Asuma thought. As he turned around he saw Naruto standing in the middle of the field.
"Asuma-Sensei, I'm going to take those bells and make you teach me everything you know." Naruto said.
"You really don't get the meaning of this test, do you?" Asuma asked as he lit another cigarette. Naruto started charging at Asuma with a kunai in his hand. He threw it at Asuma and it hit him in the chest. As the kunai made contact with Asuma's chest Asuma disappeared in a cloud of smoke to reveal a log.
'A Henge?' All four thought at the same time.
"Where the hell did he go?" Naruto said looking around.
'Left, Right, Up, Behind. If He's not anywhere around then… Oh crap." Ino though.
"Down here." Said the voice of Asuma. Naruto turned around only to be thrown backwards by Asuma-Sensei jumping out from under the ground. Asuma then made a few hand and a wind blew Naruto back into a rope trap that hung him upside down from a rope.
"Shinibi lesson number 1: Ninjustu." Asuma said befor dissapearing.
'That baka.' Ino thought.
'N…Naruto-kun.' Hinata thought.
"Something isn't right." Aaron said to himself.
"How so?"
"Think about it, why Asuma-Sensei would only use two bells and not three is beyond me. With three bells the normal tradition of three Genin per team, but with using two bells it's almost like he's pitting us against each other…Wait I get it now!"
"A little to late though." Aaron turned around to see Asuma-Sensei.
"Shinobi lesson number 2: Genjutsu. Jibakugan" Aarons eyes widen when he got trapped in Asuma-Senei's Genjutsu. He was back in the forest where he and Iruka-Sensei found Naruto. Mizuki was about to throw the shuriken he was holding. When he did Aaron found himself unable to move. As the shuriken got closer and closer Aaron yelled, "NARUTO!". Naruto was hit by the Shuriken and his body grew limp.
Ino and Hinata were releasing Naruto from tree when they heard Aaron's scream.
"Aaron!" Naruto said. The three then left towards where the scream came from. When they got to Aaron he was laying on the floor.
"Anyone got any water?" Ino asked.
"W...what do you t...think happened?" Hinata asked as she pick his head up.
"Hinata, try sending some chakra into him." Naruto told the white eyed kunoichi. After a minute of sending Chakra into him, Aaron walk up.
"W...what happened." Aaron asked as he sat up.
"We don't know. We were hoping you could tell us." Naruto said.
"I remember watching you get you ass kicked, but other then... Oh I remember now. This test isn't about getting bells." Aaron said.
"Then why the hell are we doing this for." Ino askes.
"Teamwork. The test is to see if we can function as a team. Thats why there are only two bells. If there were three then we would just have to get one, but with two it pit us against eachother." Aaron said as he stood up.
"Then how do we get the bells?" Naruto asked.
"I think I have a good idea. Ok listen." Aaron said as he whispered the plan.
Asuma was sitting on the middle log while a clock sat on the right.
'About two hours left.' Asuma thought.
"Asuma-Sensei!" Naruto yelled. He was standing in the middle of the field.
"You never learn do you Naruto? Alright I'll give you the third lesson. Shinobi Lesson number 3: Tiajutsu." Asuma said as he ran at Naruto and kicked him on the side of the head, as Naruto started to fly he dissapeared into a cloud of smoke.
"A Kage Bunshin. Not bad." At that moument several hundred Naruto's appeard in the clearing. "Oh crap!" Asuma said.
"Now Ino!" All the Naruto's said. From he hiding place in a tree Ino was preparing her Jutsu.
"Mind Transfor Jutsu." Ino said, her body grew limp as her her mind traveled into Asuma's. Aaron was staning next to Ino and caught her body when it grew limp.
"Tranfor complete." Ino said in Asuma'a body, she imediatly spit out the cigeratte Asuma had been smoking. All the Naruto's dissapeard exept for one. Hinata and Aaron with Ino's body appeard Next to Asuma.
"It worked!" Naruto Yelled.
"Y...yes, we pass." Hinta said with a sigh if releafe.
"Even i had doughts." Aaron said while Gently placing Ino's Body on the ground. Ino looked down to where Asuma had tied the bells around his belt. She untied them then turned to her team mates.
"We have a problem. Three bells" Ino said. She held out the three bells to her friends.
"What do we do now. If there are three bells then Aaron was wrong and one of us is going to fail." Naruto said.
"Who d...doesn't get a b...bell?" Hinata asked
"I think you guys should. Naruto has failed the Graduation test three times, Hinata and Ino are both smart the three of you Team 13 will be the best there is." Aaron said taking two of the bell's and handing them to Naruto and Hinata.
"B..but what about y...you Aaron-Kun?" Hinata asked
"Maybe there's a way for Aaron to pass as well. Naruto make a Kage Bunshin and have him transform into a bell." Ino said. Naruto did as he was asked. Ino then handed the two bells to Aaron. "When I leave Asuma-Sensei's place the bell in my hand." Aaron nodded. "Release!" Ino said, Aaron then placed the real bell in Ino's hand and distrroyed the Kage Bunshin. When Asuma was back in control of his body Naruto, Hinata, and Ino showed him their bells.
"Very good. Naruto, Ino, and Hinata you all pass. I'm sorry Aaron but you'll be sent back to the Academy." Asuma said, everyone looked at Aaron who revealed he distroyed the bell.
"But Asuma you can't send him back." Naruto told his sensei.
"N...naruto-Kun's right. I...if it wasn't for him w...we wouldn't have g...gotten the b...bells." Hinata said.
"You have to pass him. Its either pass all of us or none of us. Were a team." Ino said.
"Ino's right." Naruto said.
"I agree with N...Naruto-Kun." Hinata finished. Asuma looked the four Ginen in front of him.
"Congradulations, You all passed." Asuma said with a smile. The Four just looked at Asuma in confusion. "Let me explain. Aaron was right when he said the test was about teamwork. You showed that when you all combined your talents to take me on. The addition of the third bell was to trick you into fighting amoung yourselfs for who would fail. Aaron sacrificed himself so that his best friends could continue to get stronger. When you three deffended him, you should that you are a team."
The first to react was Ino who hit Aaron in the head.
"What was that for." Aaron said as he rubbed his head.
"For being an idiot and for worring all of us." Ino said.
"So what now?" Naruto said to Asuma-Sensei.
"Get a good night rest. Tomorrow we start the real training."
"Yes sir." Team 13 said.
"Alright meet back here at 9:00 I'll try to be here early." Asuma said. Naruto, Ino, Hinata and Aaron started walking back to the village laughing as smiling.
'their going to be one hell of a team' Asuma though following behind them.
