Chapter Five: Team 7 assemble
The next day Naruko was sitting next to Hinata and Sasuke was sitting next to Sakura they were all chatting animatedly when Iruka walked in and everyone stopped talking and looked at him excitement in their eyes.
"All of you have made me extremely proud I'm glad you all managed to pass. Now on to the team announcements. Team 1 will be-" (A/n: Fangirls moving on.) "Team 7 will be Naruko Senju, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno." Naruko slumped in her chair as she wasn't able to be with Hinata.
"It's ok Naruko-chan we'll still be able to see one another." Hinata said patting her girlfriend on the back.
"Team 8 will be Hinata Hyūga, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame." Iruka continued. "Team 9 is still in circulation so Team 10 will be Ino Yamanaka, Chōji Akimichi and Shikamaru Nara."
"Who are the senseis?" Ino asks
"Sensei of team 7 will be Itachi Uchiha."
"Nii-san's my sensei!" Sasuke though shocked. "When did he retire from the Anbu?"
"Team seven will also have Kakashi Hatake."
"Why does team 7 have two sensei?" Naruko asked.
"Kakashi is late all the time and Itachi requested to be sensei with Kakashi because he didn't want you guys to be waiting for him all the time. Anyway moving on, sensei of team 8 is Kurenai Yūhi, and the sensei for team 10 is Asuma Sarutobi." Iruka says. "I wish all of you luck in your new lives as shinobi of Konoha." Iruka smiled at them all just then Itachi, Asuma and Kurenai Shunshined into the room.
"Team 7 with me on the roof." Itachi said then he Shunshined out. Naruko looked at Sasuke and Sakura then she jumped out the window where she could be seen running up the side of the building.
"OI! Naruko!" Sasuke yelled as he and Sakura ran after Naruko. When they caught up Sakura was slightly winded even after the advice Naruko gave her. She was still on the weaker side but she was always putting her best foot forward.
"Need some chakra?" Naruko asked
"Yes….please." Sakura huffed out. Naruko held out her hand and channeled chakra into Sakura refilling her reserves and stamina.
"Here you go."
"Alright you're all here and little miss Senju just had to show off and utilize her powers." Itachi smirked and then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a box of Pocky and started munching on it. "Now I know my Otōto quite well and Naruko's a no brainer but who I'm really curious about…is my future sister-in-law." Itachi kept a composed expression but was laughing his ass of internally at Sakura and Sasuke's blush.
"Nii-san…" Sasuke complained
"Payback's a bitch isn't Otōto?" Itachi smirked then he turned to Sakura. "Well Miss Sakura what are your hobbies likes and dislikes?"
"Shouldn't we wait for Kakashi sensei?"
"Taicho is late for everything except missions but since last time he was late Naruko pounded him into the dirt so he should be here right about…." Just then Kakashi Shunshined in with his signature eye smile.
"Yo sorry I'm late but I was talking to sensei and the time slipped away from me."
"That actually sounds plausible." Naruko said suspiciously. "Who are you and what have you done with Kakashi nii-san?"
"Very funny Naruko but I really was talking with Sensei so now that we're all here why don't we get to know each other a little eh? I'll go first, My name is Kakashi Hatake I have no desire to tell you my likes and dislikes… My dreams for the future… Hmm… As for my hobbies… I have lots of hobbies…"
"All we got was his name." all three of his students face fault.
"How about you Itachi."
"Well my name is Itachi Uchiha." Itachi said looking back at them all. "MY likes include Pocky, a certain someone in my life, my Otōto, my Kaa-san and my new family. I dislike traitors and violence but I'll get my hands dirty if I have to. My dreams well that's private." Itachi blushed.
"Next Pinkie."
"My name is Sakura Haruno my likes are Sasuke-kun, training and proving to my rotten mother that I'm a worthy Kunoichi. I dislike perverts and my mother because she's a spoiled little bitch. My dream is to marry Sasuke-kun and walk in the footsteps of Tsunade-sama." Sakura said disregarding Kakashi statement.
"Next the Uchiha."
"Which one?" Naruko and Sasuke asked simultaneously.
"I thought you were a Senju." Kakashi looks at Naruko.
"I am but I have the sharingan too remember I showed it to you." Naruko said
"OH that's right you did." Kakashi rubs the back of his head. "The boy."
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha my likes are my Sakura-chan, My friends Naruko and Hinata, My Kaa-san and Nii-san. My dislikes are My traitorous father, may he burn in hell, and sweets but if Sakura likes them I'll eat them with her because I'm open to trying new things. My dream is to restore my clan to its proper glory and to learn from my father's mistakes." Sakura blushed at Sasuke's praise.
"And finally the Senju."
"My name is Naruko Senju, granddaughter to the great Madara Uchiha and great granddaughter to Hashirama Senju, my likes include my family my Hinata-chan and my friends. My dislikes include idiots who are too blind to know the difference between a scroll and the kunai it has sealed in it, my dream is to become the first female Hokage and to kill a certain someone who caused this village pain."
"That's an admirable dream you'll have to work hard on that." Itachi said and he smiled, now that we've introduced ourselves I have some bad news for you all, were going to have a survival exercise which you have a 66% chance of failing." Itachi got a sadistic smile on his face.
"What? Only a 33 percent chance of passing!" Sakura said shocked. "What was the point of the other tests?"
"That was only to see if you had the necessary knowledge to become a shinobi now comes the test of your skills." Kakashi said. "Anyway get some rest and don't eat breakfast or you'll puke. Ja Ne." Kakashi vanished in a 'Poof' of smoke and Itachi Shunshined towards the Hyūga compound to meet up with Yukari. Sakura was about to start walking back towards he house when Sasuke grabbed her arm.
"Wait Sakura we need to talk about tomorrow." Sasuke said
"Alright let's get started." Sakura responded
"First off we need a battle plan, now I don't know much about nii-san as far as being a teacher because this is the first time he's applied to become a Jounin Sensei but Naruko and I know Kakashi like the back of our hand he stresses teamwork above all else so we'll need to work together in order to defeat Kakashi."
"Another thing, don't look directly into Itachi's eyes." Naruko said warningly. "He might not use his sharingan tomorrow but he's a skilled genjutsu user so you can't trust everything you see so be careful Sasuke and I are immune to his tricks but one thing you should know about Kakashi is he'll try and bait you into getting angry because when your angry you make mistakes. Kakashi's motto is 'In the shinobi world those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum.' He's also fond of the phrase. 'a shinobi must see through deception.' So in other words if he tells you not to eat then eat. So in other words we should have a team breakfast tomorrow."
"Sounds like a plan to me." Sakura smiled then she kissed Sasuke on the lips and ran off skipping as she went.
"Now let's go I want to spar you a bit maybe if you try and hit me with a few of your haymakers I might unlock the third tomoe." Sasuke said.
"Alright then if you're sure." Naruko shook her head then the dashed off toward the training ground Naruko and Sasuke faced each other. Naruko jumped into the air. "Tsūtenkyaku." (Heaven Kick of Pain.) Sasuke leaped out of the way and then Naruko connected with the ground and it blasted apart in a huge crater and then Naruko charged in throwing blow after blow Sasuke activated his sharingan to try and counter her incredible strength then Naruko disappeared in a burst of speed and then reappeared right in front of Sasuke and slammed her fist into Sasuke sending him blasting back and he slammed through a tree skipped several inches backwards then sank into the mini lake.
"Okay note to self NEVER piss off Naruko." Sasuke thought as he swam to the surface then struggled to his feet standing on the water then he started weaving hand signs. "Katon: Hōsenka no jutsu!" Sasuke exhaled a bunch of mini fireballs at Naruko who dodged the fireballs and started to weave hand signs of her own.
"Soiton: Mizurappa!" (Water style: Wild water wave) Naruko exhaled a huge wave of water at Sasuke who jumped out of the way.
"She's good! But let's see how she handles this." Sasuke started weaving more hand signs. "Katon: Ryuka no Jutsu!" Sasuke unleashed a huge wave of fire towards Naruko who started to weave hand signs of her own.
"Soiton: Suijinheki!" Naruko spit out a huge wall of water which overcame the fire blast and blasted towards Sasuke. Again Sasuke dodged and then Naruko dashed forward and threw a haymaker and Sasuke's eyes widen and then her fist slowed down and Sasuke saw just how to dodge the attack and Sasuke ducked under her fist and kicked up only to for Naruko to dodge with ease.
"I guess I did now let's get back to the compound I wanna rub it in Nii-san's face that I have a fully matured sharingan."
"Race you back?"
"Sure." Naruko and Sasuke tore off towards the Senju compound sharingan spinning as they went. When they arrived back at the compound Sasuke saw Itachi and Yukari locked in a steamy make-out session. Naruko looked at Sasuke who was blushing like crazy. "So this is your special someone eh Nii-san." Itachi and Yukari instantly separated blushing a deep scarlet.
"W-when d-did you g-get here?" Itachi stuttered.
"Just now." Sasuke smiled. "Payback's a bitch isn't Nii-san." Then Itachi noticed Sasuke's eyes.
"You fully matured your sharingan."
"Yeah it was in an effort to dodge one of her haymakers." Sasuke turned to Naruko.
"By the way how on earth did you learn to control your chakra like that I thought Jinchūriki have shitty chakra control?"
"Baa-chan taught me to control my chakra it took 3 months of Kage Bunshin training but I finally managed to reign in my chakra and I now have medic level control. Thanks to Kurama nee-chan I was able to take my medic training a step further, I was actually able to master Hashirama's level of medic powers, I can heal wounds without hand signs but that alone took the equivalent of 3 years of training but thanks to Kage Bunshins I dwindled it down to a mere week. I practiced with Baa-chan for 4 years in order master everything but I finally did it and now I'm a combat medic of the highest caliber."
"What's so great about Kage Bunshins?"
"The Kage Bunshin is a B-rank Kinjutsu." Itachi said. "When a clone dispels it transfers the knowledge to the original but the reason it's a Kinjutsu is because of the massive amount of chakra it takes to perform. If one were to create five clones with this jutsu you would have to divide their chakra into five equal parts, and the more Bunshins one makes the more chakra is divided. Even I, who has a huge amount of chakra enough to match a Kage, can only create a maximum of 20 clones without having to go to the hospital for chakra exhaustion."
"But how many can Naruko use?"
"1000." Naruko answered matter-of-factly.
"1000!" Sasuke shouted shocked. "How do you have that much chakra?"
"As a jinchūriki my coils are expanded by the natural potency of Biju chakra as such my chakra was expanded and couple with my Senju, Uchiha and Uzumaki blood which if you know your history like I do you'll know that the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan, and the Uzumaki clan had one root, The Rikudo Sennin himself."
"Wait the sage is the origin of the Uzumaki as well I thought it was only the Senju and the Uchiha." Itachi said shocked. "The Stone tablet never mentioned a third child."
"The daughter wanted to remain unknown but she kept her brothers and sisters in line."
"Sisters?" Itachi asked
"Believe it or not the biju had a mother it was the Jubi she and the Sage were Biju and Jinchūriki as well as husband and wife they had 12 children together, three were regular humans but the other 9 were the biju. Over the ages the daughter had many lovers due to her extended life force but that was only passed down to daughters just as potent in them as it was in the original, in the males it was only half as potent but they still got the life force."
"How do you…"
"Kurama."
"Of course Kurama would know her own linage." Itachi shook his head "Anyway shouldn't you two be preparing for the bell test tomorrow I'm not going to go easy on you. After all you both have fully matured sharingan I know better than to underestimate you."
"We'll be nice and ready for you Nii-san." Sasuke smiled.
"Alright if you're sure." Itachi smiled then Naruko and Sasuke went upstairs then Itachi turned to Yukari. "Now where were we?"
"Perhaps we should continue this somewhere more private?" Yukari said licking behind Itachi's ear. Itachi shuddered and he grabbed Yukari bridal style and Shunshined upstairs then he activated the privacy seals around the room and then looked at Yukari with a perverse smile.
"Now no one will hear your screams my dear."
"Oh but I don't scream Itachi-kun, atleast not easily." Yukari sucked on her finger sensually, Itachi pounced on her and growled.
"You tease." Itachi kissed Yukari and then started sucking on her neck which he knew was a sweet spot. (A/n: I won't go into further detail but don't worry there will be some action later.)
(Time skip one day later)
Naruko, Sakura and Sasuke were standing at training field seven waiting for Kakashi and Itachi. A few seconds later Itachi and Kakashi Shunshined in.
"Good you're all here." Kakashi said. "Now the test that Itachi and I have in store for you is simple." Kakashi and Itachi took out a bell and dangled them in the air. "You need take these from either Itachi or myself by noon, anyone who doesn't get a bell from Itachi or I… goes back to the academy."
"But they are only two bells." Sakura pointed out.
"Nice observation Sakura."
"Then one of us will go back no matter what." Naruko said pretending to be ignorant of Kakashi's real motives.
"Correct." Kakashi responded with his signature eye smile.
"Now you have until noon that's three hours from now." Itachi said.
"BEGIN!" Itachi and Kakashi said simultaneously. Sakura, Naruko and Sasuke scattered Itachi looked at Kakashi.
"They hid themselves well." Itachi said calmly.
"Yes but I can smell them Sasuke and Sakura nearby, however Naruko has completely vanished." Kakashi responded.
"Well considering her Jikūkan Ninjutsu that's not… DUCK!" Suddenly Naruko came flying in with a devastating kick but Itachi and Kakashi ducked underneath the attack and Kakashi threw a kick at Naruko but Naruko dodged and then turned around and the spinning heel kick but Kakashi substituted with a log but Naruko's kick sliced the log, obliterating it.
"What's going on how can she be so powerful I mean I know sensei trained her but that was Tsunade-sama level strength if she's been training with Tsunade then I better use Obito's eye if I'm going to stay alive." Kakashi thought as he lifted his headband revealing a single Sharingan eye.
"EAT IT!" Naruko shouted slamming her fist into Itachi at blinding speeds but Itachi, thinking quickly, activate his Mangekyō sharingan and shielded himself using Susano'o's rib cage. When Naruko's fist made contact the ribcage fractured and cracked.
"She's strong…using my Mangekyō was the only defense I had." Itachi thought to himself and he started sweating as his eye started bleeding slightly. Then Itachi dropped the Susano'o as the strike stopped.
"Now Sasuke NOW!" just then a voice shouted.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no jutsu." A huge fireball went flying a Itachi who jumped out of the way only for a tree to rise up and bind Itachi then Sakura Emerged from the tree holding a Kunai in her hand.
"It's over." Sakura said, then she stabbed down with her kunai but suddenly the illusion shattered and Kakashi had his hand on Itachi's shoulder. When Itachi looked around Sasuke, Naruko and Sakura were nowhere to be seen.
"A double genjutsu I was so focused on Naruko's attacks I never noticed sakura placed two genjutsu on me first was binding tree of death and the second was powerful illusion that made me think that when I broke the first that I would have an advantage; she's been training with Kurenai."
"Yeah, she's good but now let's see how they can do." Kakashi said as he and Itachi smiled at each other and then they vanished in search of their students.
(With Naruko, Sasuke and Sakura)
Naruko, Sasuke and Sakura where crouching in a section of the training grounds while Naruko searched for Itachi's and Kakashi's chakra signatures.
"Alright does everyone know the plan?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah." Sakura responded.
"Loud and clear." Naruko smiled.
"Alright operation 'bell test' is a go." Sasuke said then he Naruko and Sakura scattered.
(With Itachi)
Itachi was sitting next to the stone memorial chew on some Pocky when suddenly he sensed chakra being molded behind him and he leap away from the memorial as a huge fire ball roared towards him and Itachi started weaving hand signs but then a tree sprung up and it bound Itachi and once more Sakura emerged from it.
"Die." Sakura plunged the kunai at Itachi but he activated his sharingan and reflected the genjutsu on to Sakura.
"I don't fall for the same trick twice Sakura." Itachi said as he stabbed at Sakura when suddenly Itachi felt chakra behind him and he turned around and got smashed in the face by Naruko's haymaker Itachi jumped to his feet coughing up blood. Then Naruko started weaving hand signs.
"Kirigakure no jutsu!" (Hidden mist jutsu) Itachi was instantly on guard as he extended his senses as best he could in order find Naruko.
"Very clever Naruko using the mist to stop my genjutsu."
"Thanks Itachi." Naruko's voice echoed around making it impossible for Itachi to locate her. Just then Itachi felt something on his leg and he was pulled underground. "Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu." (Earth style: Double suicide decapitation.)
"Well this stinks." Itachi said as he was buried up to his neck in the earth. Just then he heard a jingling of a bell and Naruko was crouching in front of him holding the bell.
"Got the bell Sensei." Naruko stuck out her tongue and then she handed the bell to Sakura. "Here you go Sakura without your genjutsu I wouldn't have been able to attack Itachi sensei so for your part in the operation you get the bell."
"But Naruko you were the one who captured Itachi." Sakura protested.
"Your genjutsu made it possible, Itachi dropped his guard as he reflected your genjutsu as such I was able to punch him. Now I'm gonna go help Sasuke you're welcome to join us."
"Right let's go help Sasuke-kun." Sakura and Naruko leap away then Itachi remembers the predicament he was in.
"Um still stuck in the hole here. Kakashi, Sasuke, anyone?" Itachi said.
"Don't get ahead of yourself nii-san." Sasuke appeared smiling.
"If I could strangle you right now I would, and shouldn't you be attacking Kakashi trying to get his bell?"
"I'm a shadow clone; I copied it off of Naruko when she was training with you and Kushina-sama but when I told Naruko she told me that I shouldn't use it until after I had reached a satisfactory chakra level and after I unlocked the third tomoe Naruko scanned me with her eyes and said I had reached the point where I was allowed to use it but I can only make 2 clones at this stage in my chakra development."
"Very well could you dig me out of the hole please?"
"Nah I think I'll let you stay in the hole until after the bell test." Sasuke smiled then the clone dispelled itself.
"DAMN YOU SASUKE!" Itachi shouted.
(With Kakashi.)
Kakashi had his headband over his sharingan in an effort to conserve chakra. Just then Naruko, Sasuke and Sakura walked out into the clearing Naruko and Sasuke had their sharingan activated.
"Oh what's this the three cute little gennin come here to beat me to a pulp." Kakashi said not looking up from his book.
"Kakashi-sensei if I were you I'd put that book away cause you won't have time to read it cause if you underestimate us for even a second…you'll die." Sasuke said.
"I doubt anything to fear from gennin." Kakashi responded bored. "In fact I could say that I…" Kakashi trailed off suddenly as Naruko had jumped into the air.
"Tsūtenkyaku." Kakashi leaped out of the way and then Naruko connected with the ground and it blasted apart in a huge crater.
"Holy shit…run away!"
"Warned you." Sasuke said matter-of-factly.
"That you did."
"Now Kakashi." Naruko said drawing the Gunbai from its storage seal "Shall we dance?"
"Oh boy." Sasuke thought remembering the last time she asked that question, the day he unlocked the sharingan.
(Flashback 4 months ago)
Naruko was facing down against Sasuke in their sparring sessions however this wasn't an ordinary sparing session; this was Naruko's time of the month.
"Well ready to go? Ugly." Sasuke asked in his usual insulting method
"Sasuke." Naruko said with a dark Aura flaring around her. "Shall we dance?" Naruko then charged Sasuke throwing a barrage of chakra enhanced strength Sasuke started dodging the punches but Naruko then drew the Gunbai and smashed Sasuke over the head with the Gunbai then charging her fist full of chakra and blasted towards Sasuke in a blinding display of speed she reappeared right in front of Sasuke intent on pounding him into paste suddenly Sasuke's vision slowed down and Sasuke saw exactly how to dodge that attack but some of the attack grazed him sending Sasuke backwards.
(End flashback)
"I feel sorry for Kakashi sensei." Sasuke laughed softly then he charged Kakashi as sakura started weaving hand signs for a genjutsu. Naruko punched at Kakashi who dodged but only to walk into Sasuke's attack then Naruko started weaving hand signs.
"Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku!" Naruko roared
"Oh shit!" Kakashi cursed as the wave of fire rocketed towards him.
"Well she's Madara's Granddaughter alright that's his jutsu after all." Sasuke said shaking his head. Then he charged Kakashi and engaged him in Taijutsu, and then suddenly a tree bound Kakashi in place. Kakashi suspected a genjutsu flared his chakra only for the tree to remain there.
"What!"
"Nice try Kakashi sensei but this is no genjutsu this is the real deal." Naruko said her hands in the snake seal. Naruko then held up an orange book. "If you don't pass us the book gets it."
"Why would I care?" Kakashi said.
"Really?" Naruko said with a devious smile. "You don't recognize your own book?"
"W-what?" Kakashi started sweating bullets. "When? How?"
"When I used Tsūtenkyaku."
"HOW?"
"When you were distracted by the gigantic crater I had a shadow clone take it." Naruko then opened the book and looked at the front page. "What's this…Limited edition and signed by Jiji this is indeed a rare copy in fact if my knowledge is correct then there are only 10 in existence. I wonder…how you would react if." Naruko got an evil look on her face. "I burned it."
"D-don't." Kakashi started sweating up a storm.
"Oh so the great Kakashi Hatake is threatened so easily."
"Oh come on Naruko don't do it….please."
"Pass us and I swear that you'll get the book back."
"FINE! You pass." Naruko tossed Kakashi back the book then he and Itachi Shunshined to the Hokage's tower. When they appeared in the other Jounin were standing there.
"Ah Kakashi Itachi, now that we're all here how did the teams do?" Minato smiled
"Team one: Failed and horribly at that." One jounin says looking shameful at the thought of the team.
"Team two: Failed, these girls are a disgrace to kunoichi everywhere." A female jounin says looking ashamed.
"Team three: failed." A third jounin says.
"Team four: failed." The fourth jounin says
"Team five failed." The fifth jounin says. the sixth steps forward
"Team Six failed." The sixth jounin says.
"Team 7 passed quite well they work well together." Kakashi said.
"And your Daughter is a nightmare to go against." Itachi said adding his two cents.
"Well, Kaa-chan Tou-san, Kushina-chan and I taught her well." Minato said as he laughed. "Moving on how did team 8 do?"
"Team 8 did fantastically they're a well-oiled machine." Kurenai said proudly
"Alright and Team 10?"
"They passed they're just like their parents." Asuma said.
"Aright have teams 7,8 and 10 gather at 10 am tomorrow for missions; everyone else is dismissed."
"Hai Hokage-sama." The jounin Shunshined out of the room and Minato smiled to himself.
