Chapter 5- Genin test
The next morning Naruto was in the training waiting for his team to appear. That's what it seemed anyway but actually he sent shadow clones throughout the training ground to set up traps and jutsu seals.
"They better get here soon or I will rethink giving them the test because if they can not even be on time then they don't deserve to even be ninja" Naruto thought. He looked at the sun's position noticing team five only had about three minutes left.
He vanished from his spot without a trace as a kunai whizzed by the spot he had been in.
"Their here but it looks like they started the test already, heh this is going to be fun" Naruto thought. He looked down in the clearing seeing Nawaki. The rest of the team were no where in sight but he sensed them at two different positions waiting for Nawaki to get attacked.
"At least their smart but not really because I never told them what type of test yet" Naruto thought sighing. He was just going to tell them during the fight he guessed.
Before Kushina or Shisui who were hiding in the shadows of two trees could blink Nawaki fell face down into the ground. The hit looked hard enough to leave an imprint of his face in the ground most likely. Naruto appeared above Nawaki with a kunai poised to kill him.
He stood their though not attacking, he was waiting to see what the rest of the team would come up with to save their team mate.
"The test is simple all you have to do is land two hits consecutive on me to become genin" Naruto shouted loud enough for them to here him. The next thing he knew twenty kunai flew at him from the position where Kushina was located. His sight caught explosive notes on at least half of them.
"If you like throwing explosives, you better be prepared to dodge them as well" Naruto said as his arms lifted up palms facing the incoming kunai.
"Shinra Tensei" Naruto shouted. The kunai stopped in mid air for a split second before turning directions impacting trees around Kushina position. The second before they went off Kushina lunged out of the tree line as the explosive tags went off sending her skidding across the ground just barely making it from the explosion.
"What the hell was that" Nawaki thought. His face was still implanted in the ground because Naruto kept him from getting up. He tried to get up many times but the pressure that held him down felt like a ton of weights.
"What was that jutsu, I never heard of something that could deflect incoming projectiles like that" Shisui thought studying the fight before him. His job was to wait for an opening to attack their sensei and since they only needed two hits on him it would be easy, well that's what he thought anyway.
"My ten clones are still in the forest so Shisui better watch out" Naruto thought chuckling. He did not have time to think though as Kushina charged him with a kunai in hand. As she reached him however two hands shot out of the ground pulling her under with only her head left out.
"Damn it let me out of here" Kushina shouted. She was not able to mover at all. The ground had her locked in place the only way for her to get out was for either Shisui or Nawaki to save her.
'Nahh, I think you look better like this" Naruto replied lightly laughing. This only made her more pissed however as a string of curses sounded from her mouth.
"Your not getting out anytime soon with that mouth" Naruto said. He lifted his leg back before swinging it forward kicking the downed Nawaki in the ribs lifting him up sending him clear across the training ground.
Before Nawaki impacted the ground however Shisui appeared catching him in mid air placing him up right next to him. They began to devise another plan of attack but they knew they needed to save Kushina first.
"In the field you have to come up with a plan on the spot, what your doing is leaving you wide open for an attack.
"Your standing right their so we don't need to worry" Nawaki stated cockily. Naruto just stared at them for a moment to decide whether or not to tell them or not.
"I would look around you because you are surrounded" Naruto said smiling deviously. Nawaki and Shisui looked around them but spotted nothing until a shimmer appeared around them. Naruto had let his genjutsu he had put around them slip a bit so they could see it.
"Kai" Shisui said dispelling the genjutsu around him an Nawaki. After it was dispelled they realized Naruto had told them the truth they really were surrounded for all sides. Six Naruto clones had locked them in a circle.
They were able to dispel all the clones a minute later because Naruto was holding back, he did not want to kill them after all what kind of sensei would he be.
"Good work but you missed two" Naruto said. Shisui and Nawaki looked confused for a moment before they tried to turn around quick enough to destroy the clones that had come out of the ground behind them.
"You guys better move" Naruto shouted his warning. The two clones began going through hand seals before they held the last one.
"Bunshin Daibakuha" the two clones shouted making the two genin's eyes widen as they jump away from the blast but the blast hit them while they were in mid air sending them straight into the tree line vanishing out of sight.
Kushina could not believe her eyes, her two team mates might be dead because of their sensei.
'I guess I should of held back a little more, oh well too later for the now but they should have survived that if they didn't then they are not good enough to be a ninja" Naruto said. Kushina looked away from the tree line where her two team mates where sent flying maybe not even alive anymore.
"You're crazy of their not alive I am going to pummel you till next week" Kushina shouted. It looked kind of funny with no body, just a head that shouted threats that could not be carried out.
"Ah Kushina-chan are you scared" Nauto said teasing her. He pulled out a kunai putting the blade against her neck just enough for it to bleed a little but not enough to do a lot of damage.
Kushina gulped in fear as she stared up at her sensei believing she was about to die. Naruto pulled back seeing the scared look on her face chuckling lightly.
"Don't worry I won't kill you Kushina-channnn" Naruto said. Naruto began laughing again at the look she gave him. Teasing was so much fun but what he did not know was due to his actions Kushina began to gain a crush on him but she did not know this yet because she thought she was only embarrassed at the moment.
"Stop teasing me, we are going to pass this test and when we do I'm going to kick your ass" Kushina said with a light blush adorning her face. Naruto ignore the last thing he said as he entered the forest where Nawaki and Shisui had gone. Once Naruto entered the forest he turned around and waited in a shadow of a tree knowing that Shisui and Nawaki where going to try an rescue Kushina first before coming after him.
He was right as Nawaki entered the clearing but no Shisui but he sensed him not far off probably making sure they got away safely.
"I hope they like the little present I left" Naruto thought. He had placed a seal near were Kushina was without her knowing due to his teasing she never saw anything. Just as Kushina was lifted out of the ground a seal appeared on the ground lighting up. Shisui did not know what it was and neither did Kushina because she did not receive her advanced seal training yet. All questions though were answered as the ground shifted a bit before the whole ground around them became one giant sand pit.
"Let's see how they get out of this" Naruto though chuckling. Kushina and Shisui started sinking into the pit no way to get out. He began observing the show.
"Damn it we are stuck but another thing how does he know seals so well is he an Uzuamki" Nawaki asked Kushina as they struggled to get out of the sand pit before they sank.
"It isn't possible Uzumaki's have red hair but that doesn't matter right now we have to get out of this first" Kushina shouted. She was becoming irritated by all the traps their sensei laid out for them. Could he not just faced them head on. It would be better to get their asses whooped straight forward then being caught by traps which were embarrassing to be caught in especially one right after another.
Right when Kushina shouted about getting out a rope dangled down into the sand pit in front of her.
"Grab a hold" Shisui said from up above on solid ground. Kushina was the first one up but when Shisui tried to bring up Nawaki a kunai cut the rope he held sending Nawaki back into the bottom of the sand pit.
"Looks like sensei won't let us all regroup" Shisui said. Nawaki was at the bottom of the sand pit letting some curses go because his butt now hurt from the impact with the hard sand at the bottom.
Naruto appeared in the sand pit right behind Nawaki giving him a chop to the back of the neck knocking him out instantly. Both Kushina and Shisui eyes widened when Naruto disappeared with Nawaki leaving no traces of chakra behind. The sand pit closed up like it was never their to begin with.
Naruto appeared back on solid ground twenty feet away as he laid the knocked out Nawaki on the ground.
"You two got one hour to save your team mate, if you don't save him by then he will die before you very eyes" Naruto said as not a second later the whole clearing was filled with clones.
"I will be waiting for the two of you in the direction" Naruto explained pointing towards the east side of the training which had the biggest trees. The reason he set this up was to see if they could detect his traps laid out in the forest before they reached him. Naruto lifted Nawaki back up vanishing into thin air once again.
All the clones charged the two genin, they both got into taijutsu stances preparing for the onslaught of clones. The battle between twp genin and one hundred clones commenced.
It was a spectacular battle that lasted about thirty minutes which only left about another thirty minutes left to save Nawaki. The were both physically ad mentally exhausted.
"I'm tired, I don't believe we can win this fight in the state we are in" Shisui stated leaning on his knees for supported almost completely exhausted from the bout they were in. Their clothes looked horrible as well, their were holes all threw them being because some of the clones had exploded.
Kushina did not look or feel much better then Shisui but she would never give up because Nawaki would be counting on them to save him so she would not go down with out a fight.
"I don't care if we have a zero chance of winning I am still going to try because I want to kick his ass so bad" Kushina said growling at the end remembering the teasing he had done. She wanted her revenge it might not come right away but she would have it soon or a later.
"I guess your right let's show sensei who's boss" Shisui said. They both looked towards the forest where their sensei would be. After they got a good look they both entered the forest from two different angles just incase if their were any traps laid out for them. To bad this would not save them. Different trees around them began to glow before pink and yellow pellet sized shells came at them, some missing but they began to come faster at them. The pellets began to impact them all over leaving bruises as well as giving them a new look.
Naruto was waiting up in a tree branch further in the forest. Their were traps laid out all around him that's mostly why he stayed stock still in his spot.
"I wonder when they are going to get here, it's been fifty minutes already but I felt some of my seals activate so they should be getting closer by now" Naruto thought. When he finished that train of thought ten kunai came at him from the left and from the right.
"That trick did not work the first time so it will not work now" Naruto stated as he brought his palms up in both directions.
"Shinra Tensei" Naruto shouted as the kunai with explosive notes were sent soaring back the way they came. Naruto heard two thuds land on the forest floor a second before the forest lit up in flames from the explosion.
Naruto jumped back to a further branch dragging along Nawaki by his shirt.
Kushina and Shisui now stood on the branch he once stood on staring at him with hate filled glares.
"I hate you sensei, do you know how long it's going to take to get this pant paint out of my skin and hair" Kushina seethed. She did not really look threatening when she was painted both blue and pink.
"Why would you want to take the paint out, it makes you look more exotic, hahaha" Naruto replied. His response only made Kushina madder making Kushina and Shisui jump forward at him intent to take him out. Kushina aimed to fight their sensei while Shisui grabbed Nawaki. Naruto jumped away before Kushina make contact with him due to this Shisui was able to retrieve Nawaki.
"We win sensei" Kushina shouted pumping her fist in the air. Naruto only gained a wide smirk on his face which made Kushina and Shisui look on in confusion.
"I would look again" Naruto said as Nawaki appeared in his arms. Kushina and Shisui eyes widened as they looked down to see the body Shisui was holding glowed white.
"Crap it's a trap" Shisui shouted chucking the body out of the tree but due to the close proximity the explosion that followed hit them worse then the others knocking them out with first and a couple second degree burns.
Naruto approached their downed forms sweat dropping.
"Maybe I went way to hard on them, oh well they will be fine in a day or so" Naruto thought. He hoisted all three over his shoulder as he vanished leaving not traces.
When he had appeared in the hospital their was quite a ruckus as doctors and nurses were rushing to take them into a room to get checked over. Once nurse did not leave though, it was Tsunade and she did not look very happy.
Naruto gulped in fear because in his time Tsunade had be dangerous but in this time she was in her prime right now which made her abnormal strength skyrocket.
"What happened to get them that hurt and you better have a good explanation or you won't see tomorrow" Tsunade stated balling her fists. Lucky or not the Sandaime strolled into the hospital after being told three genin had been brought in the reason he did not know yet. When he spotted Naruto, he believed since he was their sensei he should know what happened to them.
"What happened to them Naruto" the sandaime asked calmly. He knew he could not get away with out telling them now. He sighed in dismay hoping that Tsunade would not completely flip on him.
"They got that way from my test I set up for them to become official genin" Naruto said. This shocked both Tsunade and the sandaime which the shock did not stay on Tsunades because she decided Naruto needed a beating. She began to walk forward to pummel him into tomorrow.
Naruto just stood their ready to take her anger full force even though he knew he could easily get away if he wanted to. However before Tsunade could reach Naruto the sandaime stopped her in her tracks.
"You should not have been so rough on them they are only genin after all, did they pass the test or fail" sandaime asked. He was curious to know the answer because they looked pretty beat up it would be a total let down for them if they didn't pass.
"Yeah they passed with flying colors, literally" Naruto said chuckling. He vanished leaving no trace as Tsunades fist passed through the spot he had been standing. The sandaimes eyes widened not thinking that Naruto would have got away from that hit.
"Looks like he is hiding many secrets" the sandaime said chuckling. Tsunade did not like this comment and since she was still mad at Naruto she turned full force punching a hole in the wall that later she would have to pay for to relieve her anger. The sandaime quickly left the scene once Tsunade did that because he did not want to receive the force behind her punch.
The next morning came quickly foe Naruto because he had been lost in thought while training. He did get some sleep but only about five hours before he got up to train. To him the nighttime was the best time to train.
He appeared in the hospital room that had his damaged team five in it. He saw the looks he was receiving from Kushina, Nawaki and Shisui but he did not let it bother him so he let a grin stretch across his face.
"Congratulations you guys pass" Naruto shouted. Team five just continued to stared at him still not looking to happy about what happened. Kushina threw a kunai at him as it whizzed by his face but he did not move an inch.
"Awe come on guys can't you take a joke" Naruto said lightly laughing.
Team five was now officially a team even though they did not like him much for the torture he made them go through but they will have to deal with it. He guessed that the team will work out and that tomorrow would be another day.
I hope you liked the chapter, the next one will be longer!
