"what do you mean 'we'? I can get through the door just fine"
"Don't worry, coal. I'll tell you all about the mission- when we get back from the office"
-3 hours later-
the 3 girls came up from behind. all of them together yelled "HI COAL"
"whowhatwhenwherewhy!!" yelled coal, coming out of his trance-like nap.
"where were you three"
"just giving you a taste of your own medicine." replied Akaira.
"ha-ha. what the mission"
"well, there's a problem"
"what now"
"The circle 7 have appointed the new Zainkage"
"who are the circle 7"
"You're stupid, coal." critized Maiko "the circle 7 are the 7 jonin that led the separation of the land of fire and sound. They knew that if one of them was to become Zainkage, that the entire village would become corrupt and unjust. Therefor, an entirely different person was made Zainkage. somebody loyal, just, and most importantly, powerful. With all of these requirements, it was a miracle that they actually came across somebody and agreed on him in only 6 years time." finished Akaira.
"Zzzzzz"
"COAL! GET UP!" yelled Maiko, kicking him with more or less force, he woke up with a start.
"Huh? Oh, sorry Akaira, won't happen again. so how does this apply to ME"
"He's got a lot of paperwork to fill out, and doesn't have a lot of time to give out missions." said Yumi.
"then what do we do now"
"you could be patient and wait, this IS only our second day as a team." Said Yumi.
"Yeah, I know, i just wanna know why we can't use our old system"
"Because, at this moment the system is being redesigned. Besides, you three have to take the REAL genin exam"
"huh?" said all three academy students.
"the first part is just a preliminary; to see if the student has learned enough. My test will require you three to scout and catch this"
"what? i don't see anything." said Coal.
completing a few handsigns, Akaira slammed her hand on the ground, and with a little 'POOF' a little squirrel popped up.
"hey!" he said. "time for another test!? HUH?!HUH?! HUH"
"Man, this guy is more annoying then Coal." said Yumi "Yes, yes he is." said Akaira "hey!" said the squirrel "your right. that's why they call me Baka"
"damn." said Maiko. "that's gotta suck"
shrugging, the talking squirrel said "you get used to it. well, I'm off"
jumping into a tree, Baka was gone before they could blink.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Go! find him! catch him! MAKE HIM SUFFER!" Akira said with a fire in her eye.
and with that, they left. On the other side of town, squad 4 was busy picking potatoes for the Bubbles farm. Shindo was using his summoning to, you guess it, do his work for him.
"It gets done quicker this way." he justified.
"well, it would get done even quicker if you would also help out. We're lucky that we got there early. any later and we would've had to wait for the new zainkage to be intagrated into the system. It's a good thing you guys finished that test so quickly"
"It was easy." said Shindo "for once i agree with him" said shigure. "All we had to do was work as a team to get two bells. I suppose if you had a team that was self-centered, it would be hard for them, but, we just wern't hungry"
"that's because we didn't listen to him and ate breakfast." Said Hiroto.
"Besides, these two know teamwork." commented Shindo. "well, regardless of my humilliation, you three pased"
"I'm just relived that i didn't cheat." thought shindo.
"I've got you now!" yelled coal. Charging the baka Baka, coal misguged the distance, and jumped to soon. with an "ooofff!" he landed on his stomach about 3 feet in front of Baka.
"wow, you suck kid"
looking up, the gorrila said "i don't think so. NOW, YUMI"
with her cue in place, Yumi started her jutsu.
"Inward darkness jutsu"
turning the entire area pitch-black, the squirell went numb.
"Hey, i can't move!!" yell the squirrel. "what is this"
"It's my paralisis genjutsu and my Inward darkness. it saps a ton of chakra, but i figured that catching you was worth it"
"hi-ya!" exclaimed Maiko "gottcha"
Nabbing the squirrel in bag, maiko gave Coal a quick slap on the back. "good plan, Coal. Never would have thought of it"
"well, lets go bring back Baka to his baka"
back at the ranch, the three stooges had presented the squirrel to his owner.
"they got me good, Akiara. First time in a long time"
"well, that's good. Or maybe your just losing your touch"
"Hey! They used some cheap genjutsu-combo. i couldn't see or move! They cheated, if you ask me"
"there is no cheating in this test; you know that." turning her attention to the three other kids, she said "you three will be given a mission tomarrow. as for now, do as you please"
"what about the Zainkage? i thought hat he couldn't assign missions right now." siad Miako.
"well, he's in office now, so we can start getting missions"
episode 7 "come-on, akaira-sensi! we've been doing training and D-rank for over a month now! we gotta get a better assignment then finding a lost milink"
"it's mink, stupid." corrected Yumi "and besides, there is nothing Akaira-sensi can do about it. So for now, lets just be happy with D-rank"
"Well, i could ask for a c-rank. You guys are getting pretty good"
"DO IT!!" yelled all three.
"Changing sides quickly, Yumi? what happened to being happy with D-rank"
"screw it! I'm tired of having to wash the grills at shusi-bob's"
"Okay, I'll see what I can do." Akiara said as she walked back into the spiraling tower of the Kage. "Just don't get your hopes up"
45 minutes later, akiara walked out with a simle on her face.
"You three are gonna love me. I just got you an A-rank on escorting the scroll of sealing"
"That's not possible!" Cried Yumi "the Zainkage would never be so aggnorant as to send 3 genin and a chunin on a mission like that"
"Relax- there's a reason for it. The village hidden in the sound will be looking for this scroll intently. therefor, if they see 3 genin and a chunin, they will be far less suspisous then 3 or 4 jonin"
"Alright, but I'm still gonna be be a baby about this." said Yumi.
"The scroll of sealing is in the 3rd tree of the forest leading out of here; we'll meet-up in 10 minutes, be ready"
With this being said, the three genin ran off to thier respectful rooms to gather the various items.
"Lets see here- soap, check- kunin, check-shurikin, check. bandages..." The list went on and on for Maiko. after she had everthing packed, she headed out.
"everyone here"
"yep"
"yeah"
"More or less"
"good-let's head out"
Walking over to the tree, she knocked four times on the trunk, then kicked it.
"what's the password"
"shut up and give me the damn scroll"
"Correct"
As soon as she finished her sentence, the ground started to ripple. from the epicenter of the ripples a scroll appeared.
"That's it!" Akiara yelled. "Coal, i need you to use your ape-jutsu and carry this"
"No-way!" denied Coal "last time I had to fall asleep OUTside my apartment. Theres no way i'm goning to use that jutsu unless i have to. I'll carry it, but there's no way I'm going ape"
"Fine, fine, fine-you don't need to get defensive. Here, catch." Throwing Coal the scroll, she said "keep it hidden"
Nodding, Coal procced to put in into his backpack. After he had acomplished this, they started walking.
"So, Akiara tell me- how did you get here?" asked Maiko.
"Well, it's a long story, but i guess you could say that my old village didn't need me anymore"
"so they threw you aside when they were done with you?! how cruel"
"no, no, no... it wasn't like that. The village hidden in the Grass had an abundance of young ninja. to much, in fact. They incuraged my family to move to the village hidden in the shadows, and my father desided to take them up in their offer"
"Makes sense"
Back with squad 4, shindo and the others were trianing vigerously.
"Ra-ti-sha-na! Summoning Jutsu! Flaming Tiger!" with the completion of his jutsu, one tiger POOFED out. "This is attack, he has good attack. with all but one sign the same, Shindo summoned another tiger- this one was apperantly made of rock. "This is Tsuchi, he will be protecting me today, see if you can get past him"
With his summonings in place, the twins attacked.
"ru!" yelled Shigure, as he got a running jump attacking Shindo.
"not gonna work!" sneered Shindo defence defended shindo by jumping right infront of him, blocking Shigure from shindo. Instead, he hit the rock-cat with some force, causing him to cry out in pain. "YEOW"
"Now, attack, attack"
In concordance with his comand, the flaming tiger lunged at shigure, claws and paws outstearched, hungry for blood.
"hault!" Yelled nagasaki.
The tigers disaperared as Shindo undid the summoning.
"What"
"Shindo, calm down. This is your partner, not your victum. Unless you'd like to spar with me"
gulping, shindo said "No thanks"
"then do it again, but this time, lets have both Hiroto and Shigure fight togather. I have a feeling that they do muck better that way."
