Okay I forgot to write the disclaimers last chapter… It's not my fault! I always forget stuff like that!
Naruto: Suuuuuure you do. Wink wink
GHD (Gespens of the hidden Dusk…Me not the character.): Ahem anyways Naruto, please leave the disclaimer.
Naruto: Whatever. Gespens of the Hidden Dusk does not own Naruto. If he did I'd be less annoying in the dubbed version.
GHD: Thank you Naruto. And now on to the chapter!
Chapter Two
He's Bald, He's Young, and He's
Gespens: The Blood Lust Ninja!
Two days after the battle in the forest with Mizuki came the pairings for the Genin Teams. Naruto ran down the stairs of his apartment as he held his hitai-ate, which was securely fastened on his forehead.
He dashed outside of the building and he noticed that other kids from his class also had hitai-ates on. 'I'm not sure whether to be embarrassed that I was the only one failed the original test or happy that I passed.' Thought Naruto. 'Happy.'
"Alright everyone it's time to announce the Genin teams!" shouted Iruka.
"Hey, Naruto. Thought you failed the Genin Exam." Said Shikamaru.
Naruto just stared at Shikamaru with a dumb look that said, "Does it look like I failed ass?" well that's what it looked like to Shikamaru. "I'm wearing a hitai-ate that means I passed, last time I checked."
Shikamaru just glared at Naruto. "Looks like ya did pass." Sighed Shikamaru.
"Team 10 members are Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Choji. Team 8 members are Inuzuka Kiba, Abarame Shino and Haruno Sakura. Team Seven Hyuuga Hinata, Uzumaki Naruto and…" said Iruka.
'I'm on the same team as Naruto-kun!' shouted the Hyuuga heiress in her mind.
'What the hell I'm not on the same team as Sasuke-kun.' Shouted Inner Sakura.
'Man, why aren't I on the same team as Sakura-chan?' thought Naruto. 'At least it can't get any worse. Unless I end up on the same team as-'
"Uchiha Sasuke." Finished Iruka.
"What?!" shouted Naruto. "Why do I have to be on the same team as that bastard?"
"Because Naruto, we had to make the teams balanced. So we paired the best student, Sasuke, with the worst student. Now sit down!"
Naruto did as he was told and sat down.
After all the teams met their sensei, Team Seven (being Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke.) waited an hour before Naruto decided to say something. "Why the hell is he late!!!!"
"Calm down dobe." Said Sasuke with the nickname that he gave Naruto. "What do think that our sensei is gonna look like?" asked Sasuke.
"I bet that our sensei will be big, fat and ugly and so hairy that he has more hair than Kiba's dog!"
"What was that?" said a very agitated voice behind Naruto.
Naruto slowly turned around to see a boy that barely looked older than Naruto. He wore green clothes that hung loose at the ends of the arms and legs. A simple mask was worn around his face that only had three holes. (Two eye holes and a mouth hole.). But the must noticeable thing was what was on his head: absolutely nothing! Naruto was wondering who this boy was, so he asked in the most polite way that he knew. "Who the hell are you baldy?"
The boy twitched and glared at Naruto (No on could tell of course). "What did you just call me?" said the boy as veins enlarged around his head.
"I said: Who the hell are you baldy."
The boy raised his hand and sent Naruto flying across the room with so much force that a crack appeared in the wall. "First of all don't call me baldy, you'll live longer." Stated the boy. "Second, my name is Gespens, and I will be your Jounin sensei. Meet me on the roof in five minutes." With that Gespens disappeared. And on the door there was a note that said. "And if you are late I will drive a Pike through your head."
The three kids just stared at the note and when they finished reading they ran for their lives to get to the roof. It only took them 3 minutes to reach the roof.
"So you made it." Said Gespens with a much happier tone of voice. "So sit down and lets introduce ourselves."
"Ano. What do you mean Gespens-sama?" said Hinata.
"Name, age, likes, dislikes, dreams of the future. You know, the basics."
"Why don't you go first baldy." Blurted Naruto.
"What did I tell you about calling me baldy?!" shouted Gespens. "Anyways my name is Gespens, no surname. I'm 13 years old. My likes are none of your business. I dislike being called baldy . And my dreams of the future… I can't tell you."
'What the hell? He really only told us his name and age.' thought Naruto.
'Does he expect us to do the same thing?' thought the Uchiha prodigy.
'He's kind of strange…' thought Hinata.
"Naruto, why don't you go next?" said Gespens.
"Okay. My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I am 12 years old. I like ramen. I dislike the five minutes you have to wait for the water to boil. And my dream is to become Hokage so that everyone will respect me!"
stated the blonde.
'Well at least he know what he going to do. But he's going to need to learn how to respect others.' Thought Gespens. "Very good Naruto. Now how about Miss. Timid goes next."
"M-me?" stuttered Hinata pointing to herself.
"Y-yes you." Said Gespens with a fake stutter.
"M-my name is Hyuuga Hinata. I'm 12 years old. My likes are…" said Hinata shifting her eyes away from Naruto. "Are none of your business. I dislike use of the caged bird seal and kumo nins. And my dreams of the future are also none of your business."
'It is very obvious that she likes Naruto. But he is probably so dense that he doesn't even notice.' Thought Gespens. "Now how about you. The one who has a knife shoved up his ass." He said pointing to Sasuke.
"Very well. My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I am also 12 years old. I have no likes. And I have many dislikes. My dream… no my ambition is to kill a certain man."
'Obviously his brother Itachi. He wants revenge.' Thought Gespens. "Very good. Now tomorrow the real test will begin."
"What do you mean? I thought we are Genins already?" said Naruto who looked more confused.
"You may have passed the Genin Exam already but now you have to pass a much harder test where only out of all the Genins that passed the exam, only nine will start to do missions. The rest will get sent back to the academy and spend another year of training there." Said Gespens with a grim voice. "And just so you know, this test has a 66 chance of failure."
"What?" shouted Naruto.
"That's right. Meet me at training ground number 99. Oh, and before we go, don't eat breakfast. You'll throw up."
The next day team seven all met up at training ground number 99.When they stepped in they saw Gespens with a pair of gloves that had long katana shaped blades on each finger and the thumb.
"So you made it."
"Like hell we did! It took me a hour to find this place!" shouted Naruto.
"Whenever I asked someone where this training ground was, they said: "Training ground number 99? Are you crazy? There aren't that many." Said Sasuke trying to keep his cool demeanor.
Gespens looked at Hinata waiting for a smart-ass reply.
"I knew where this place was already Gespens-sensei." Replied Hinata meekly.
"Well, at least someone in this team knows what they're doing!" shouted Gespens directing the word 'someone' at Naruto and Sasuke. "Anyways, you three are to take these rocks from me." Said Gespens removing his gloved hands to reveal three small pebbles. "If you don't get a pebble you will get sent back into the academy, and I'll tie you to a branch upside down, and you don't get lunch while I eat mine in front of you. In order to pass you must come at me with a killing intent, use any and all weapons, and jutsus."
"B-but we might kill you." Said Hinata.
"Kill me? I have killed ANBU and survived. You think that three Genin can kill me?" shouted Gespens. "Anyways, I am going to make this a bit more challenging." Said Gespens as he took of the gloves and threw them at a tree. He closed his eye trying to maintain focus. "Ninpou: Heikou Jigen no Touwaku (Maze of a Parallel Dimension) no jutsu!" bellowed Gespens. As he finished this jutsu the area around them began to twist into many colors and bend into a confusing maze where there were upside down staircases that appeared to lead to nowhere.
Naruto, being absolutely befuddled gazed around the room looking for Gespens. "What the hell? Where did everyone go?" All of a sudden Gespens chuckled.
"First things first: Naruto, why are you upside down?"
"Huh?" was all Naruto could say before he saw Gespens upside down. "What are you talkin' about? You're the one who's upside down!"
"Take a kunai and drop it."
Naruto took out a kunai and dropped it towards the ground. But the strangest thing happened: it went past his face! "Uh-oh." Was all he could say before he fell down and went down the stairs. Over and over again.
"And second," started Gespens again. "you have until three o' clock to get a pebble. Begin!"
Naruto quickly regained his composure and got to the nearest balcony (Dropping a kunai to make sure he was upright).
Sasuke and Hinata were hiding near a doorway from Gespens.
"A good Shinobi must stealthily hide from their foes." Said Gespens as he looked for the three Genin.
"Hey, baldy!" shouted Naruto from behind Gespens.
"What did I tell you about calling me that?" shouted Gespens as a vein appeared on the top of his head. "I do suppose I can give you some credit for coming at me with the intent to kill."
"Shut it! I will beat you and get those pebbles even if it kills me!"
"…" Gespens paused trying to compute the stupidity of that reply. "If you die, then you'll never become Hokage and you won't pass the test, ya' doorknob!"
Hinata, Sasuke and Naruto all fell down anime style at Gespens' choice of words.
"Also, you'll never beat me with the way you're standing! I could easily knock you over." Said Gespens. He quickly used a Shunshin no jutsu to get behind Naruto and trip him.
"Wahh!" screamed Naruto as he fell.
'What an idiot.' Thought Sasuke.
'Naruto-kun, please be okay.' Thought Hinata.
Naruto quickly got back up and searched for Gespens. But Gespens was still behind Naruto, with the tiger hand sign.
'Oh no, Gespens is going to kill him!' thought the timid Hyuuga
'Wait, that's a tiger sign! Is Gespens going to obliterate Naruto?' thought Sasuke. "Get out of there Naruto!" he shouted.
But it was to late. Gespens completed the technique and he shouted the name of the jutsu. "Konohagakure Hiden: Taijutsu no Ōgi: Sennen Goroshi (Hidden Leaf Secret: Taijutsu Supreme Technique: A Thousand Years of Death)!" he bellowed as he drove his index fingers up Naruto's prosterior.
Naruto, twitched and comically jumped ten feet into the air with pain and screamed.
Sasuke just stared dumbly. 'An enema? So I have a normal idiot, and a bald idiot on my team…' thought Sasuke
'That, looked painful.' Thought Hinata.
And as if getting an enema wasn't enough, Naruto crashed into a wall.
"Well, one down, and two to go." Said Gespens, rather calmly. "So, who wants to go next."
No answer.
"Well, I guess I'll have to choose… Hinata." He said using a Shunshin to transport himself to the area where Hinata was hiding. "Defend yourself."
"H-hai!" Hinata quickly got into the Jyuken(Gentle Fist) stance preparing to attack Gespens. But before she could send an attack, he vanished.
"Too slow!" he shouted getting behind Hinata. He punched her into the air and preformed a taijutsu that has never been seen before. "Joushou Fenikkusu(Rising Phoenix)!" he shouted as he was lit ablaze and puched Hinata into the air and continued punching her untill he reached the top of the room. "Shoutotsu Fenikkusu(Crashing Phoenix)!" he shouted hammering Hinata into the ground.
"Ah!" she screamed as she crashed into solid rock, spitting out blood, and knocking her unconscious.
Gespens gazed at Hinata, frowning under his mask. 'Maybe I over did it.' He thought as he went to Hinata to heal the wounds. "That should do it."
'This is my chance!' thought Sasuke as he threw several Shruiken at him.
Gespens heard this and picked up a block of stone, which made the shuriken harmlessly bounce off of it. "Too obvious Sasuke."
Sasuke jumped away from his hiding spot and went to a new one. Only to see Gespens was already there.
"You forget, I created this place." He said.
Sasuke jumped away from him and flew through some hand seals. 'Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball)' thought Sasuke as he inhaled, and then exhaled a large ball of fire at Gespens.
Gespens saw this jutsu coming at him and countered it. "Suiton: Mizu Kabe(Water Wall)no Jutsu!" he shouted slamming his hand into the ground, creating a large barrier of water, blocking the fire ball.
"Tell me," started Sasuke. "how are you able to preform jutsus without handsigns?"
"Very observant."said Gespens. "My family had the kekei genkai that allowed them to use any jutsu, or even a made up one, without the need for handsigns. But it requires twice as much chakra and an unbendable concentration. However because we required twice as much chakra my family had twice as much chakra as a Jonin when they reached Genin. And we also get a little bit of chakra when we kill someone." He explained. "It also prevents the Sharingan from copying any of my techniques. Which comes in handy!" he said with an upbeat personallity.
'He has split personallities?' thought Sasuke, as he got an anime-style sweat drop.
"So, how are we gonna do this? You bombard me with Katon? Taijutsu me to death? Or maybe-."
Suddenly, Sasuke dashed towards him, sending several kicks to his head. But he blocked them all. And when Sasuke was about to hit the ground Sasuke reached for a pebble.
'Shit!' thought Gespens as he avoided Sasuke's reach.
'How long is this going to last?' thught the Uchiha as he hit the ground face first. He noticed something that was out of place. No Gespens. "Where did he go?"
"Doton: Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu!(Earth Release:Inner Decapataion technique)" Shouted a voice coming from the ground, as Gespens appeared and pulled Sasuke underground, leaving only his head above.
Two hours later Hinata awoke. As she looked around the bizarre maze, she saw Sasuke's head trying to be pulled from the ground by Naruto.
"Hey, Hinata." Said Naruto.
"H-hello." Stuttered Hinata.
This little scene was strange and unusual to Gespens as he looked at them from a balcony. 'I wonder why they did not even land a punch on me. Two of the lowest graded students, and the highest. I might as well tell them how to get the stones.' He thought, before he jumped of the balcony to talk to them. "You guys suck like leeches." He said directing this 'insult' to Naruto, and Hinata. "Sasuke was terrible as well, he may have come close to getting the pebbles but he did not even hit me. He telegraphs his next move before he makes it." He said yelling at Sasuke. "You probably think that you've tried everything though right?"
Naruto was the one who answered. "Shut up you bastard! We did try everything! We tried fighting, we tried hiding, and we tried to steal it from you when you weren't looking! And now you're saying that we didn't try everything?"
"You could try something else. I read a book a while ago, it said: "Anger leads to a swift defeat. Calm yourself and victory shall be yours." Said Gespens. "I also think that you should try something that would never work if you were fighting a real foe."
Sasuke thought about what Gespens had just said, and he realized something. "May we please have the pebbles?"
"Sasuke that will never work!" shouted Naruto.
"Yeah, sure, okay." Said Gespens as he handed the stones to everyone.
"WHAT?!" shouted at the top of his lungs.
"He asked that's why I gave you guys a pebble." Said Gespens. "And you should be happy that you passed at all! I nearly failed when I took this part of the exam."
Hinata just stared at the pebble, which was now in her hand. "Thank you Gespens."
"No problem." He said. "Now tomorrow we start our first day as a squad, and the first day of a surprise I have for you."
To Be Continued.
GHD: That's it.
Naruto: That's it? What the hell is that surprise that I'm getting?
GHD: A lifetime supply of Ramen.
Naruto: Really?
GHD: No.
Naruto: Bastard.
GHD: Here is a little preview for the next chapter.
"This is where you live?"
"Yep."
"You have a private training ground, a hot spring, forty bedrooms, a laboratory, a smithy, a target course, and an obstacle course?"
"Dat's right."
Naruto gave him a 'what the hell is wrong with you?' look. "And you are even more rich than the Hyuga clan?"
"I wouldn't say that, but I am pretty close."
"So then why do you dress like you live in a shack?"
GHD: I think that will do.
Naruto: Who was I talking to?
GHD: You'll see. And sorry I have not updated in a while. I got grounded several times.
