Alright guys here's the next chapter for ya! Hope you enjoy it!
"Zzz. Zzz. Zzz."
"Wake up!" shouted Hiruzen Sarutobi at the sleeping occupant in his office but they didn't even so much as flinch at his loud tone making the aged third Hokage sigh in frustration.
When the man had been contacted by Kami sometime last night about the arrival of three special individuals he initially had thought he was finally going mad from doing all of that damn paperwork. Sadly that wasn't the case as Kami had given him an earful and didn't stop until he was fully convinced she was the real deal.
Kami, who was actually Shi in a different form, then proceeded to tell Hiruzen that three children would be sent to his village by her personally and that they would affect the fate of the world as a whole. She didn't go into detail but Hiruzen didn't really mind and instead agreed to aid the goddess by making fake papers already giving the three of them official backgrounds with only himself knowing of who they actually were. Both to stave off the Council and the boatload of paperwork that would ensue if the secret was revealed.
Though what he expected of the three wasn't really on his mind the girl in front of him right now who just so happened to be one of the three made him shudder on what the other two would be like. So far the girl did nothing but sleep in his office, while standing up he may add! The girl who had introduced herself as Takahashi Azusa had appeared in his office a few hours ago after a flash of light and had been there ever since as Hiruzen had sent out some ANBU to find the other two that had no doubt appeared but with no success so far.
Takahashi Azusa, or Azusa for short, stood at four foot seven and had a slim, healthy figure with long black hair that reaches down to her mid back with some of her hair tied into a braid at the side. Her long bangs almost cover her large round shaped sapphire blue eyes that Hiruzen had been able to see before the girl passed out where she stood reminding him very much of the Nara clan. What he didn't know was that the girl was wearing contacts.
For her attire Azusa wore A sleeveless leather blue top and a black pleated skirt over black leggings with low heel knee high boots. On her arms she wore what appeared to be long black leather gloves reaching to her elbows but were actually her X-Gloves while on her left ring finger was her Ring of the Sky. Around her neck were her X-Headphones
Hiruzen was about to yell at the girl again until he heard voices heading straight for his office and decided to listen in.
"You are terrible with directions! I can't believe you managed to lead us just about everywhere BUT the tower!" exclaimed Shiro in annoyance as they walked to the Hokage's office after having finally found the tower.
"Oh like you were any better! Don't forget you nearly lead us straight into the women's side of the hot springs until I stopped you!" replied Alex back in irritation of having his navigation skills put down.
"Whatever we're here anyways so lets get this over with." finished Shiro hoping to drop the conversation and cover up his own mistake that nearly cost them both their manhood's.
Opening the door they were greeted by the expecting face of Sarutobi Hiruzen and some sleeping girl they had never seen before. Both boys paused for a moment to regard the quietly snoring girl before refocusing on why they had come here in the first place. Walking up to the Hokage's desk both boys took a spot on either side of the girl before speaking to Hiruzen.
"Uh hey there Sandaime sir! I'm not sure if you know us but my names Alex and this is Shiro." Began Alex only to be cut off by an amused Sarutobi.
"Yes I know who you three are as Kami had informed me of these matters last night and everything has already been taken care of in regards to your needs and enrollment in the ninja forces."
"Good now all we have to worry about is keeping off of the Council's radar." said Azusa quietly yet politely startling the two boys on either side of her and making them jump a bit at the unexpected revival of the girl.
"So your the third one sent like me and Alex right?" asked Shiro with a raised brow.
"Yes I am. I'm Takahashi Azusa, but please just call me Azusa." spoke Azusa politely.
"Nice to meet you Azusa. My names Alex and his is Shiro. Guess we're all int he same boat here huh guys?" said Alex with a small smile.
The three then began to idly chat with each-other and seemed to be getting on rather well. While having a calm and sleepy disposition Azusa was highly intelligent and polite to the two boys as they all shared a similar interest in anime. Alex was a bit outspoken but kind and honest and seemed to be the most enthusiastic one of the three. Shiro for his part displayed a carefree nature and easily kept the conversation going no matter the subject.
Though the three had only just met Hiruzen could see them growing closer by the second. He could already see great things coming from these three and while he would have liked to let them continue conversing he had to move them along to more important matters and quickly coughed to get their attention.
"While its good to see the three of you getting along so well we must move on. Now Kami did not tell me what exactly you three were capable of so I decided to make a little test for you to see where you stand in regard to the other genins since I plan to make you another genin team in the books to further prevent suspicion being thrown your way. Your grader should be here shortly." said Sarutobi while the three grew curious on who their 'grader' would be.
They soon got their answer as the office door was slammed open and in walked someone that made both males gulp as they knew exactly who it was and were very afraid of what the test for them may be. Azusa just kept on a calm smile while secretly her mind was running with various test this person could have concocted to test her and the other two along with possible ways to counter them.
Cause before them stood the Snake Mistress of Konoha herself Mitarashi Anko in all her trench coated glory.
"Hey Hokage-sama! I'm ready to tor- I mean test the three gaki's!" Exclaimed Anko will idly eating some Dango.
"Oh fuck all kinds of duck." muttered Alex as he already knew the three of them were in for a world of hurt.
"*sigh* alright Anko the three genin I wanted you to test are right here. AND STOP SLAMMING MY DOOR OPEN!" shouted Hiruzen as Anko chuckled nervously at seeing the old man with a large tick mark on his head and decided to get out of there as soon as possible.
"Alright you three," said Anko getting the three's attention, "meet me at training ground 14 in ten minutes!" the snake mistress finished before disappearing via shunshin.
Taking a few deep breaths to calm himself Hiruzen tossed Shiro a scroll with a map telling them where to go and quickly sent the three off before Anko went hunting for them. He could have chosen others to test the three new additions to his village but thought it might be a bit more entertaining to see what the three would do against Anko.
10 minutes later
Alex, Azusa and Shiro had finally arrived at the training ground and saw it was almost identical to the one used by Team seven. Save for the fact Anko was staring at them with a bloodthirsty grin that sent a shiver down all of their spines.
"Alright gaki's listen up cause I am not going to repeat myself! Your test... is to survive." said Anko with her grin growing even larger if that was even possible.
"Um, survive what exactly?" asked Alex almost afraid of the answer only to tense up when Anko disappeared and reappeared behind him.
"Me." was her answer before sending a kick at Alex's back but his Kenbunshoku Haki foresaw the attack and he reacted accordingly by spinning away surprising Anko at what she thought was amazing reaction time.
Using her surprise to their advantage Shiro activated his gauntlet and drew his chokuto before going for a slash at Anko's gut but the snake mistress easily avoided the blow and jumped back with a cocky smile on her face. That same smile quickly left though when Alex returned with a downward punch aimed for Anko's head.
When Alex's fist struck a huge crater formed making both Shiro and Azusa jump back to avoid being caught in the aftermath. When the dust settled in the center of the crater was Alex and the splinters left of the log Anko had substituted with at the last minute. Said snake summoner was currently hiding in the trees as she couldn't help but sweat a little bit at what the gaki had just done.
'Damn that gaki has enough strength to rival Tsunade! I would have been paste if that had hit me! Makes me kind of curious in what the other two can do if this one can do this much damage with a single punch.' thought Anko as she licked her lips at the possible challenge these three may give her.
Meanwhile Alex stood up and hopped out of the crater while sighing to himself. His control was still lacking and that was the downside of Whitebeards powers. Yes they were insanely powerful but difficult to control. He would need to train a lot just to make sure he didn't accidently catch Shiro and Azusa in the crossfire whenever he used his powers. Standing next to his teammates Alex pulled Dragon Slayer from his back, holding the weaponas if it weighed nothing as he tried to find Anko who was no doubt watching them right now.
"So either of you got any idea's on how we can deal with the psycho dango lady?" he asked.
"I got nothing. All I know is to watch out for her snake summons or else we're screwed. Other than that I can't really remember much about what she may have up her sleeve." replied Shiro as he too was scanning the trees but having just as much luck as Alex.
"I have an idea." said Azusa drawing the other two's attention to her, "just by what I just saw its obvious she's just as slippery as Orochimaru in avoiding her enemies but is also a bit overconfident in her abilities. I have a plan but for it to work you two will need to keep her occupied and make me an opening. Think you two can do it?" asked Azusa.
The female genin had studied what had happened between Anko and Alex and had devised a plan that if it worked would guarantee them the win and a pass on this 'test.' After all she was a skilled strategist that could probably give Shikamaru a run for his money in a game of Shogi.
Shiro and Alex shared a glance before turning back to Azusa.
"We got you Azusa. We'll get tou a clear shot." said Alex confidently.
"As long as you don't nearly blow us up again that is." threw in Shiro making Alex growl at him but decided to say nothing as a horde of snakes were suddenly flung at them with Anko following close behind.
Shiro responded first as he used BOOST to increase his speed and using his chokuto cut down to swarm of snakes in seconds. Alex meanwhile has used his own giant sword as a shield to block a kick from Anko aimed at Shiro's unprotected side. Using some of his strength Alex flung her back a few feet where she landed with ease. With an unspoken agreement Alex and Shiro charged Anko.
Azusa meanwhile was preparing for her opening. Using her resolve to help Shiro and Alex win she managed to activate her Dying Will Flame which changed her X-gloves from their leather appearance into red metal clad gloves. The normal crystal blue Vongola Emblem in the middle now has a red cross on top of it reading "Vongola Famiglia," and Flame type designs cover the bases of the gloves. Also, as part of her new gear, a leg bangle has been added. She then charged up an X-Cannon attack waiting for the right moment.
As Azusa did this Alex and Shiro were holding their own against Anko pretty well all this considered. Alex managed to keep Anko at a distance thanks to his swords long reach, but after each swing Alex was left open to counterattack due to his lack of training with such a weapon. This was where Shiro stepped in as he would use his chokuto to make sure Anko couldn't take advantage of the openings.
This little dance of death went on for a few more minutes before the two boys caught a break when Anko had miss-stepped when stepping back from a slash from Shiro's blade. Before she could regain her balance Alex struck with the flat of his blade sending Anko into the air and making her the perfect target.
"Now Azusa!" shouted both Alex and Shiro in synch.
Not wasting a moment Azusz's contact's aided by her headphones locked on to Anko's airborn form as she fired two X shaped blasts from her gloves which hit home and sending Anko flying through about three trees before stopping. After finishing her attack the female genin's gloves returned to their previous form and she fell to her knees more tired than usual.
Shiro and Alex quickly rushed to her side and helped her to stands before lloking back at Anko's prone form. Before they could even think of checking on the snake mistress's health the 'body' turned into snakes which then quickly slithered off.
"Hebi Bunshin!" said Shiro in surprise and realizing they had all been played. This fact was made more true when Anko stepped out of the treeline with a large smile on her face that said she was more impressed than angry with them and their performance.
"Gotta say gaki's you all are pretty good. Even if it was just a clone you showed great teamwork and had a great plan. Maybe Hokage-sama was right about you three after all. See you at the academy tomorrow for team placement squirts!" was all Anko said before using shunshin and leaving the three tired genin in the middle of the training ground.
"So what do we do now?" asked Shiro
"Don't look at me mister know it all. What do you think Azusa?" asked Alex only for him and Shiro to sweatdrop since Azusa had already fallen asleep.
Both boys looked at each-other and then back to their unconscious teammate before sighing in annoyance. It was obvious to everyone that this was going to take some getting used to.
