Discalimer: I own nothing, even my name is on loan from my father. Support the official release... y'know if your into that sorta thing that is.

The next morning , Tayuya rested on a tree branch just out of sight of the training grounds, playing a light medly on her flute as she waited for her charges to arrive.

Two arrived looking a bit disheveled and tired as if they didn't sleep all that well. 'Hoipefully that stress issue can be broken soon, but at least they followed orders.' she thought to herself as she relaxed back against the tree.

Izumi turned to her new teammate. "So Asano was it, since we'll likely be fighting together whats your specialty?" The raven haied teen sighed. "My family specializes in the hiding in shadows technique, what about you?" The brunette looked thoughtful for a moment. "I accidentally learned the Kage Bushin technique, unfortuantly that leaves me nearly useless otherwise my family used to be master trap makers... before the invasion..." she looked wistfully away.

The suna/sound invasion claimed many lives that fateful day, she remembered a red blur rescuing the children that didn't make it to the monument bunker.

Roughly half an hour late the third member arrived and promptly a crimson blur appeared on the bridge. "So Shithead you think you don't have to take orders eh? Consider this

your only warning." The Seasoned Kunoichi said as her foot conected with the late students stomache causing him to retch his breakfast.

She paused as she positioned herself and pulled out two bells "This test decides if you understand what it means to be a shinobi, The rules are simple you have eight hours to take the bells from me, after four hours have passed I will call a break and give you guys lunch, after all three of you are finished eating the test will continue, If in that time no one receives a bell you all fail and I will put in for your permanent remval from the program."

Asano Started to speak but was interrupted by a Tayuya punching him in the face, sending him flying. "did you forget the test started the moment shithead arrived?"

With that Izumi dashed into hiding near where Asano landed.

Tayuya tied the bells to her Hitai-ate as she casually walked to the middle of the clearing near where the field was glassed over.

The brunette whispered to the raven teammate her plan to run distraction while he used his families technique to sneak in and grab the bells. However as if intent on ruining any chance for their plans Zorin started again with his solo attack bringing their sensei back into combat mode, a brief "fuckit let's go" was said under their breath in unison as they leaped into action.

Izumi's clone came in high from the tree above the crimson instructor as the real one sped around laying ninja wire across the field, perfectly weaving a net of razor thin shadows. Asano meanwhile had been leaping between shadows getting in place, before simply riding his teammates supplied shadows to the planned assault point. Tayuta leaped into the air and stood on the underside of a branch as a barrage of shuriken flooded the field below courtesy of the bald wonder Zorin.

Swiftly she dispelled the clone that was coming after her, then she let out a whistle next to Zorin trapping him in a low level genjutsu, stumbling around aimlessly. As she landed back in place Izumi successfully tackled the impressed teacher just to be replaced with a substitution. Lastly Asano burst out just barely touching the bells... the sound of which caused the their sensei to flip and plant a chakra enhanced kick against his shoulder launching the genin harshly into the glassed field, cracking the topmost layer.

At this time the bell rang signaling the end of the first half.

Tayuya glanced over and sighed "Come on over shitheads Break time!"

"There's three of us, why are there only two lunches?" Izumi asked, a little puzzeld.

The redhead casually flipped through a few handseals before pulling Zorin underground via Headhunter Jutsu "There are two lunches because one of you thought it wise to show up late and disobey orders" She glared at the buried student. "If either of yougive shithead any food you all fail, but while you eat I've gotta discuss how the trials going with HJokage-Sama. While I'm gone it might be wise for you each to consider what beaing a shinobi means to you" As she finished the teacher disapeared in a flash.

Up in position in a tree she stood and watched her charges when what she just said sunk in and she nearly puked 'hokage-sama. where the fuck did that come from' As she shook it off her attention returned to the students.

Several minutes had passed and there was no sign of them disobeying her order. 'Maybe I was a little too rough with them and broke their will' then finally Asano threw his hands up and practically shouted "Fuck that bitch! We're a team and I cant eat while looking at a suffering teammate!"

Just as Asano's chopsticks entered Zorin's mouth the red blur reappeared. Izumi jumped between the blur and her teammates. Tayuya simply placed her hand on the kunoichi's head and said. "So Izumi nad Asano, you've earnedyour places. As for you shithead..." she pulled him out of the ground by his neck. She started to continue but was interrupted by the student poofing in a cloud of smoke 'replacement jutsu eh' she turned around to see Zorin holding the bells. "Asano Giel. well atleast you completed the objective but you really are a shithead. well todays test is over, head home and rest up your first mission will be in three days."

After reporting the details regaurding her squad passing initiation to Tsunade at the local tavern Tsunade congratulated her and took a more seious expresion as she inquired she's recieved any new information about the unrest in the Rain village. The redhead shook her head and downed her sake. 'Jiraiya (where are you/come back safe)' they thought in unison as they went their seperate ways.

Y'know If you think about it, almost all of Kishimoto's most interesting characters either died pointlessly or died before the cannon timeline... Just food for thought.
