Chapter 8: Gather, o' warriors of awesome!

Sunagakure no Sato. The village hidden in the sand in the land of wind. A village surrounded by mountains that were carved to perfectly encircle the entire village. It was the wall that shielded the village from sandstorms and the like. It was a village made entirely from sandstone and brick, were water was a valuable resource.

The village had very few clans. To make up for that fact, the village had created unique fighting styles that were trademarked by them. The most obvious of these fighting styles is the puppeteering style. An emphasis on using chakra strings to control a golem packed with hidden weapons ranging from poison launchers, extendable knives, air cannons, senbon launchers, and many other pointy things.

The village is the progenitor of a majority of the wind users in the elemental nations. Wind, being the most offensive element, has done its part in strengthening the village with devastating ninjutsu that ranges from tornado creations, to creating a full-on typhoon. The village itself had created an entire faction of specialized wind users. They are most recognizable from the giant battle fans that they carry on themselves.

The village's clans do their part to add to the artillery. The two most notable clans would be the Sabaku clan and the other is a clan that had never taken a name, it was a clan that placed on emphasis on individuality. The Sabaku clan is famous for its magnetic release. Able to use the various metals in the world as if they were the clan's personal playtoy. The unnamed clan was famous for its scorch release. A combination of wind and fire release that could boil a person alive from the inside.

The Sabaku clan was currently the most notable clan in the village due to the yondaime Kazekage hailing from that same clan. Rasa Sabaku was his name. And he was the father of the villages 10=year old jinchuriki…who isn't as insane as you would think (yes you! The one with a bowl of popcorn! I know your reading this!). Simply because of one individual.

Rias Sabaku.

She was a 14 year old kunoichi that always carried a large scroll of weapons on her back. She wore a simple white battle dress that came to her knees. The dress itself had seven red dots in the chest area (which was as flat as a smooth concrete pavement) in a hexagonal formation. She wore a Suna headband on her forehead that held up her orange hair that went over one eye and ended halfway down her back. She wore simple armguards and black combat boots. She had what appeared to be fishnet stockings around her legs, but was in reality stockings with the wool replaced with steel threads. She had a simple face, no real features. Except for her eyes. Her one visible eye was white in its sclera, and was a simple brown. Her other eye…

Was a black sclera, and was nothing but a glowing ominous red dot. And beneath it, in barely readable size, was the kanji for steel. Tattooed across her shoulders were the words 'iron will'. This individual was currently sitting on a bench watching a redheaded boy with the kanji 'love' written on his head play with a bunch of other kids the boys age. The redheaded boy in question was in actuality the jinchuriki of Suna, Sabaku Garra. Now one would expect the boy to be an insomniac, something the boy's predecessors had. But he didn't have the telltale dark rings around the eyes. And was in fact a cuddle buddy when he would sleep with his sister or cousin. He stopped being a bed buddy with his brother when Kankuro became obsessed with manliness and being a MAN.

He was quite possibly going to be the buffest puppeteer ever.

It would be awhile later that a figure the age of Rias, dressed in a black cloak that showed nothing but a true blue eye that shined with loyalty.

"Master Rias."

Without even turning around the Kunoichi began to converse with the speaker.

"Leo Banabarte. How many times do I have to tell you not to address me as such?" Spoke the magnet user in voice that spoke nothing of amusement.

"My apologies…but wind genie wishes to speak with you." Leo spoke in a soft voice.

There was an imaginary ! that appeared above her head for but a split second.

"Sensei wants to speak to me about something? I thought he was away on a mission…"

There was an interrupting gruff voice. "Just got back brat."

There was a gasp from the kunoichi as she turned around to see her teacher. He was man with yellow eyes with black pupils. White hair that was really puffy like a cloud. He wore a purple and green kimono that was highly unusual among the village hidden in the sand. He wore Greta sandals and had white, ovular wristguards that seemed to look like mirrors. He was a tall man. Around six-foot eleven. Add in his muscular build and you have a very intimidating man.

His called himself joseph trail. No one knew his real name except for him. He was a jonin sensei to the gennin squad that composed of Leo Banabarte, Rias Sabaku, and Naoki Oakajee (totally not Japanese. I just typed in random letters. It is what Japanese appears to be). He was known to the village as 'wind genie' for his superb control over the element, his signature mode of transportation around the dessert. He would ride a cloud made from his chakra into battle as he flew through the air. Giving the impression of a genie.

"Can whatever it is that you're going to say. I have something to give you, Leo, and Naoki."

He then wordlessly reached into his Kimono and pulled out three forms. He handed one to Rias, and two to Leo.

As she read the form, Rias's eyes shot open in surprise before she turned to her sensei. Only to find that he was already on his way to the nearest bar to get smashed. With a sigh Rias turned to her partner.

"He always does that when he sees the two of us. Do you think it's us…or him?"

Leo responded with a simple shake of his head. "I think that we probably just remind him of his past…do you think we should sign these? You know what will happen if we do…"

Rias turned to look at the kids who were now playing volleyball with Garra. "Do you have a bad feeling about it?"

"Like nothing before."

Rias then smiled a smirking, condescending, battle-lusting smile. "Then we are going. One way or another. I want to make sure that my blades are stained red."

Leo smiled a similar smile. "And oh, what fun it will be!"

And her blades would indeed rust red with blood.

Meanwhile: in the one place with black people in the elemental nations

Kumogakure no sato. The village hidden in the clouds in the land of lightning. A village hidden in, and stationed in, the mountains. The buildings were both built on the mountain range Kumo called home, and inside the mountains. It was a heavily militarized village. With everyone required to do at least five years of service to the village.

A village famous for its lightning users, beloved jinchuriki, famous Raikage's (in particular the third one who held off an army of 1000 for three days by himself as well as defeating the hachibi in single combat), its lack of clans, and it's very powerful lightning techniques. A special one of note would be the black lightning, with its only known user being the current Raikage's right hand man, Darui.

However one of the most famous people in the village would have to be the Raikage's wife. The storm empress, Elise Symphony. Many thought she was a foreigner due to her name, but as it turns out her mother was, according to the locals, just felt like giving her kid a unique name. Although, due to the third shinobi war, she was the last of the Symphony family.

In terms of appearance, Elise was a woman that could make a man question their masculinity. She was known for her light green hair, yellow and black eyes, the strange suit of armor she wore that looked like something from a medieval times knight. Yet it also looked like it was a robe, flowing through the air as she danced around the battlefield. In actuality it was a green and red striped robe that came down to her feet that showed off a breastplate that protected her front as well as hid her C-cup breasts. It simply had a genjutsu covering it. She wore simple Kumo white shinobi sandals and had weight like wrist guards that matched the Raikage's.

She would be often seen working out alongside her husband. The few people that actually watched the workout tended to feel like their manliness was being questioned.

Elise was known for two simple things. Completely and utterly destroying her opponents with her wind and lightning attacks, and having the temper of a dragon in public.

That fruit stand never even knew what hit it.

Like the Raikage and his brother Bee, Elise was also one half of a duo that was famous during the war. Her partner was a reserved man, and intelligent man. A man by the Name of Tetsu Stone. A man with a greater mind than a Nara. He had a strange X shaped birthmark that was perfectly symmetrical on his face, legs that were both bulky AND made of metal, and the ability to levitate off the ground for a duration of time. He was known for his tactical prowess and devastating taijutsu style that he dubbed the 'Meteor' style. He also had his silver hair styled into an afro.

He was also the caretaker of his partner's kid. The fourteen-year old Z Symphony. Normally it's the bride that takes on the name of the husband but…well one, they could never get her in the damn dress. Two, she went to the wedding in a suit of armor. Three, she threatened to call off the wedding if A didn't take on her family name. And four, the Raikage was scared shitless by his wife. That and he was whipped. So he couldn't really say no.

Z Symphony was in actuality, a pretty chill kid. He had inherited his father and mother's skin tone, had his father's hair and mother's eyes, was a workaholic/work-out-a-holic like his parents, and was a complete and utter baller with lightning techniques. He wore a simple black jacket with lightning crosses on mirroring sides and white shinobi pants, and back sandals. And currently he was watching his mother throw exercise equipment at his father. The family's normal method of argument.

"He's still too young woman! He'll get clawed to pieces out there!"

A bench-press was thrown out of the office window because someone wasn't man enough to block it with his face.

"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN! MY BOY IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR IT!"

A buoy hit the village leader in the chest…and shattered when it clashed with his abs.

"Where the hell do you get this stuff!?"

She chucked his desk at him. He promptly 'meeped' and ducked under it. Causing it to go flying out the broken window. A cry of "MY CABBAGES!" could be heard off in the distance…

A sighed as he stood straight up. "Damn…that the eight desk this week…"

Finding the words to try and convince his wife that allowing their son to go and sign that paper was a bad idea, he turned to face his wife…

And promptly felt his chances of preventing his son from walking into a possible death trap be dashed on the rocks as his son, Yugito Nii, and his sons other teammate, all signing the dreaded papers.

His son then turned to him with a smile on his face. "Yo, I do be thinking that we be going to this thang."

His mother punched the back of his head. "Proper English brat. Speak it."

A had to restrain himself from smashing his head into the wall. Ever since he let his brother tutor his son, the boy had taken to doing a bastardized version of the universal language.

After Z had gotten himself off the floor he turned to his father. "Yeah…sorry pops. But my team and me are going. And there ain't nothing you can do about it." He said with a cheeky smile.

A simply looked at him. Then his wife, who held a three barbells in her hand primed and ready for throwing. And finally the broken window that his wife would drop kick him through if he dodged the barbells when he refused to allow him to go.

He then made his decision.

"Just kick ass while you're there. I expect you to go far. Far enough for me to witness you beatdown your opponents! Show them what being a Kumo gennin means!"

His son smirked. As did his teammates.

"Oh trust me pops. We will. After all, I am the son of the Raikage and the dragon empress of the sky aren't I?"

MEANWHILE: in the office of the fence sitter…

An orange haired man wearing a jacket with the footprint of Heatran was reading a paper that was handed to him by his village leader. He then promptly set the paper ablaze.

"Fuck no old man. I may want to utterly annihilate the entire village of tree shitters, but I ain't stupid enough to go there."

The old leader of the village hidden in stone looked at the up-and-coming Chunnin standing on the other side of his desk.

"All that you would have to do is help out with the first part!" the jinton user shouted. "C'mon, you like scaring the shit out of a bunch of kids! It won't be that bad!"

The 16-year old Chunnin narrowed his eyes. "I don't trust myself to not start an international incident you old fart!" he all but shouted. The fear of being atomized was the only thing preventing him from trying to fill up the old man's insides with steel. "For the last time…I'M NOT GOING YOU OLD FUCK!"

The Tsukage's eyes narrowed. "Hey brat…" he began. A dangerous tone following his voice.

Ohshitohshitohshitohshitmeandmygloriousdouchebagattitude…

"What old man?"

"…ever seen a grown man naked?"

In the end, the psychopathic Chunnin relented. Although people in the hidden stone village would forever question the girly scream that came from the village leader's office. Whenever the Yoton user was questioned he would just fall to the ground and start rocking back and forth in the fetal position. Mumbling things about 'what has been seen cannot be unseen…'

MEANWHILE: IN AN OBSURE PLACE…literally. I mean this place is…

…Hoshigakure. The village hidden in the stars in the land of bears. It was a simple village that although was founded one-hundred years before Konoha, only became a shinobi village thirty years after the founding of Konoha. To describe how it looked. Imagine a native American gathering of tepees. Now imagine a town that could generate that kind of feel. It was a peaceful village. Not many clients, but an adequate shinobi force as well.

It was notable for only one thing. The meteorite known as the 'star' by the locals. This meteorite emitted a radiation that, through the mysterious Peacock Method devised by the village founder, could essentially make super ninjas with ridiculous chakra control precise enough to make wings and shields. It was essentially the village's chakra armor.

However all power has a price. And the mysterious Peacock Method is no different. Those that didn't survive the training that took place in front of the star (the majority of people) would suffer radiation poisoning, ruptured organs, internal bleeding, organ failure, and explosive diarrhea.

No joke. That shit is dangerous.

There were only three notable shinobi in the minor village. A fourteen-year old, dark haired male that was always seen in a midnight black suit of armor. Onyx black chainmail kneecaps. Abyss black sabatons and a helmet that was reminiscent of Zero's helmet from code geass. In short, he was a black knight. And he acted the part too. He always had by his side a ghastly looking fifteen year old that was easily recognized by his grey and dark blue-purple jacket. His name was Vio Kresnik.

On the back it read 'Momento Mori' confusing all who didn't know Latin. The hood of the jacket, when adoned, covered his face with a skull design. What many people didn't know was that he had a strange birthmark that looked suspiciously like a closed mouth. Not many people tended to notice the boy's presence. The rest of his clothes included grey slacks and, white gloves, a headband tied to his neck, black sandals, and a white shirt underneath his jacket that a skull design with a red eye in the skull, and nothing in the other eye.

The final member of the trio was a fourteen year old by the name of Sumaru. He was a prodigy in using the Peacock method to change his chakra. He was a black haired, reddish-brown eyed, purple scarf and regular shinobi outfit wearing gennin and a member of Hoshigakure's most hyped up gennin squad. It was the one that the village believed was going to jump-start the village's position to one of higher status. It all began when the knight boy, Arthur Almia, did something to the star that made it safe to use the mysterious Peacock Method.

All three of them were currently staring at their squad leader, Sumaru's mother, the most powerful shinobi in the village, but not its leader, the violet long haired, jade-green eyed Natsuhi. The reason for the staring? The info dump she just put the three of them through. Natsuhi just smiled at the scene. Reminded of the time that she went through the same thing. With a clap she brought all three of them to attention.

"Alright you three, what do you say?" she asked sweetly.

Arthur turned to his teammate Vio. "What do you believe would be the correct course?"

The ghastly looking teenager simply shrugged as he put his hands in his pockets. "Honestly king? I think we should go. Who knows? We might run into a worthy challenge…"

Arthur simply nodded and turned to Sumaru.

"I-I think we should go. If we prove how good Hoshi shinobi are we could get more missions. That would be a good thing right mom?"

Natsuhi nodded as she produced three sheets of paper from a storage seal on her gloved hand. "That's right. The hopes of the star village are riding on you three."

All three gennin took one of the sheets and began filling them out with a pen that was being passed around. When they finished they gave them back to their teacher.

"Alright then. We have one month before we have to head to where they are being held. Let's get to the training ground team!" she exclaimed with enthusiasm and a fist pump into the air.

"YEAH/yippee/…" was the replies.

MEANWHILE. IN A BACKWATER NINJA VILLAGE

The village hidden in the Mist in the land of water was an island country. It was a port village that obtained a majority of its supplies from imports. Although there were some unique items that the village exported.

Six years ago the village had come out of three-year silver war. The yondaime Mizukage had tried to instigate a bloodline purge. It didn't work out so well when eighteen-year old Mei Terumi spearheaded the pro bloodlines force and kicked the Mizukage and his followers out of town. She was then crowned Gondaime Mizukage. They would then proceed to ward off attacks by the former Mizukage until Mei, Kisame, and Zabuza had enough of his shit and brought the fight to him. Two days later they paraded his corpse around town, showing just what happens when you try to crusade against your own people.

The village was quite well known for their swordsmithing abilities. The village was after all the progenitor of the seven shinobi swordsmen famous for their unique blades and sheer effectiveness with them. Of which only two of the original seven still exist.

Kisame Hoshigake and Zabuza Momochi. They were the only two swordsmen still loyal to the village. And the two who killed off the traitorous members of the seven. Well except for the one women on the team. She died of illness and left her swords, the Kiba, to her 16-year old apprentice, Terra Greaver. A bubbly girl with a moderately sized chest that seemed to jump everywhere. She was feared throughout the village for her jump kicks that were likened to Might Guy's 'DYNAMIC ENTRY!'. She was known to be downright brutal with the Kiba blades though.

In terms of dress, she were simple blue camo pants that stopped just a little above her ankles, with bandages covering up what skin could be seen between her pants and black shinobi sandals. On her torso she wore a simple T-shirt with a smiling bunny face on it and a long-sleeved baggy camo fur coat over it. She had black, fingerless gloves with a metal plate on the back of the hand and a Kiri forehead protector tied around her waist like a belt. On her back she had the twin blades, Kiba, were strapped securely onto her person.

Her face was heart-shaped with brown eyes and curly pink hair that never ever stayed down. She was currently jumping along the port-ninja village's rooftops. Scaring the shit out of anyone that had experienced her 'bunny springboard' personally. Trailing behind her was a girl her age that had long white hair tied in a ponytail that came to her back and two red dots around her eyebrows. She was dressed in a simple, yet elegant kimono that was white and red in color, with the white being the predominant color and the red simply being ribbons tied around her waist. She wore simple white shinobi sandals and had a forehead protector tied around her head. However her ninja headband hid the upside-down red triangle on her forehead. Her yes wore a yellow color.

Did I mention that she had freaking D-cup breasts? Cuz she's only sixteen. And single. This Kunoichi's name was Kasumi Kaguya. A member of the feared Kaguya clan. Known for their powerful bloodlimit, the dead bone pulse, and their lust for battle that scared the living shit out people, literally. Kasumi was a gennin of the team that consisted of her, Terra, and Haku Yuki. A boy who looked a helluva lot like a girl and made many a man question his sexuality with his feminine looks.

All three of them were hand taught by the Demon of the mist, Zabuza Momochi, wielder of a giant knife sword thing whose name I can never type so I gave up trying. From here on out, the sword is christened thee…Dave, the decapitation sword.

Back on topic, the two members of squad Hunt (Team Zabuza) were house-hopping back to their homes to pack up for a training trip. However the two teammated were talking as they house hopped.

"We finally got nominated Kas! What do you think it will be like? Ooh! Maybe we'll get to meet a fellow swordswomen who's worth a damn!"

Snow country

"Atchoo!"

"You okay mom?"

"Just peachy dear. I'm out here in the fucking ice and snow…what do you think?"

"That you need to chill."

"…you've been around Luke too much."

"I mean, when's the last time we've had a challenging opponent?"

Kasumi accidently landed in someone's rooftop garden. "I believe it was…that Aoi fellow? The one with the thunder god sword and no skill?"

A poor unlucky rooftop drunk was used as a springboard. "That guy? No. I believe you just fired a bone drill bullet thingamajig at his throat when he was gloating about how unstoppable he was. Dude pussed out like a bitch after that!" she laughed.

Kasumi just shaked her head at that comment. "Or at least he tried to…"

Terra had a grin plastered on her face. "Ah yes, that's when I stabbed him in both his eyes with a kunai…he was certainly a screamer!" she laughed as a maniacal grin found its way onto he face.

Throughout all of her possibly unhinged partners laughter Kasumi maintained a neutral face. "I believe it was a little while later that you brought out the giant scissors…did you really have to use those? I had to buy an entirely new set of clothes after that…"

A cat was landed on and jumped off of. "Aw c'mon! it only took about five times to cut completely through the slimy bastard! It wasn't that bad!"

"Speaking of Aoi…" Kasumi began. "What the hell happened to the Raijin? "

*FLASHBACK*

"I wonder what would happen if I used this as fishing bait…" mused Zabuza.

*FLASHBACK END*

"I don't know…" Terra mumbled with a frown on her face. And then it became a grin. "But who the hell cares!? We're going on a road trip!"

Kasumi only sighed as her partner began to gush over their training trip. It would probably be a 'murder trip' as their sensei called it. She then pushed those thoughts as they made their way to Terra's apartment so that she could help her partner pack up.

God knows she needs help to pack the things that were absolutely essential.

And finally, Meanwhile in the village hidden in the waterfall.

The village hidden in the waterfall is an oddity among the ninja world. For one it was an actual Hidden village. Meaning you can't find it on a map or have a crossroad give you directions to it. There is literally a crossroad in fire country with a sign that says 'to Konoha' in case you're wondering. To find it, you would have to find one of the many hidden underwater tunnels that lead to it. Only problem is…theirs only one correct tunnel. And 128 fake ones that will lead you to a gruesome death or trap you so you can drown.

So the other hidden villages decided to just stop giving a fuck and leave them be.

It also unique in that it has powerful tools at its disposal, despite being a minor village. It has such things as:

The jiongu. A semi-sentient symbiotic-like thread thing that grant the user power over its threads, as well as extra hearts to serve as back-up in case the user dies. It can also grant the user the chakra natures of the hearts, and in some cases, bloodlimits. Making it a very powerful tool. Problem is, very few survive the transfer of threads. So it's not something in mass produce. Doesn't mean that they don't have about fifteen ninjas with the jiongu. All A-rank ninja by the way.

Second, the hero's water. A powerful bottle of water that when drank, grants the user a 6 metric fuckton of chakra. Allowing the user to throw A through S-rank ninjutsu around like you would throw starbursts into a crowd of kids going through candy withdrawal. Only downside is the side effects. A drastic shortage in one's lifespan. Then again the average life-span of a ninja isn't really that big to begin with. So go crazy!

And finally there is the village jinchuriki. Yes, a minor village has its own jinchuriki. And not just any biju, the third strongest biju! How the hell did they get the fucken Nanabi!? It mostly has to do with an assassination attempt on Hashirima's life by one, still alive by the way, Taki nuke-nin Kakazu, a jiongu user. Something about Hashirima laughing the whole thing off and giving them a free biju for their trouble. It went something like that. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Anyway, the Jinchuriki of the Nanabi's name is Fuu. No last name given. She is an orange eyes, tan skinned, mint-haired female of 13-borderline-14 years. Look up her outfit because I'm not changing it. She has begun to get into the medium range of difficulty of the techniques she could use with the abilities she received from her biju. Namely the dust related jutsu's. She had the flying with the insect wings down pat. It was just the offensive stuff she was having trouble with. And well considering she had devoted most of her time to increasing her skill in other areas…yeah.

She was part of a gennin team that consisted of two other members. A fourteen-year old, light purple, short-haired female by the name of Suu Milkovitch, who wore a simple blue yukata, black sandals and was always fiddling with a pipe that she blew bubbles out of. She had lime-green eyes with no iris, and wore her ninja headband on her forehead.

Fuu's other teammate was a fourteen-year old girl with clear violet eyes, long golden hair, and crescent scarred on her face. On her left cheek, like an imprint. Her name was Luna Palladia. She wore a simple mesh shirt underneath a baggy yellow and purple short sleeve jacket, violet shorts with a belt, simple combat boots, and wore her forehead protector like a hairband. On her back was…rifle in a roman purple sheathe adorned with gold markings.

The three of them were currently skipping rocks, waiting for their teacher to turn in the papers they signed to the village elder. It was Luna that broke the silence.

"You really think that they'll let us go?" she asked her teammates.

"Suu very much thinks so…but with Fuu on the team, Suu thinks that they will try and keep her in the village."

Fuu sighed as she made a rock skip about seven times over the lake. "You might be right…but I want to go so bad! All the other people talk about how dangerous it is!" she whined.

Luna only chuckled at her teammate and friend. "And you just love danger don't you?" she asked with a smirk.

"Of course!" Fuu replied with a smile. "Danger is the heart of adventure! As long as we're stuck in this village we'll never get to live! Adventure is all life's about!" she exclaimed with enthusiasm as she pointed her finger to the heavens.

Suu simply smiled at the scene. "Suu thinks so too. Suu wishes that she and her friends could go outside and have many adventures."

Luna was about to throw in her two cents, but Suu interrupted her. "But Suu thinks that the village elder will not move the stick up his waste hole and will make Suu and her friends not go." She said with a sad frown.

That shut Luna up and made Fuu all dejected. "Way to kill the mood girl…" Fuu muttered.

Suu, realizing her mistake, tried to apologize. "S-suu is sorry she made with the mood killing. But what can Suu do to help?"

Luna shaked her head. "Nothing." Both turned to her as she made a rock skip on the water eight times. "We can do nothing but hope that they will let us go." She said with a sad smile.

It was then that the Taki gennin squad's teacher jumped out through the window of the house that was behind them. Not even scaring the girls due to them completely expecting him to do that. "Good news everybody! Ya'll get to go!" he yelled as he held out the pass forms.

All three girls beamed at him, and in a group effort, hug-strangled him unconscious.

Kakashi was tacking in his teams appearance as they gathered on the bridge. Naruto, after their mission in taki were ended up helping a the resident jinchuriki and her team squash a rebellion that was trying to get the hero's water, had immediantly gone back to the hidden leaf upon getting paid. When they got back, they found Luke in his teams apartment consoling a crying Athena. For what reason he didn't know. He wasn't going to invade her personal space. If they had a personal problem then they would come to him about it.

The three of them were on the bridge that him and Kushina had sealed the bet about two months ago. Naruto was off to the side looking at Athena worryingly as Luke had an arm draped over her shoulder. She seemed to find his presence on her comforting. He had to smile at that. His team truly did know the value of comrades. But now it was time for business.

"Ahem." He began, getting the attention of his 'cute little gennin' as he liked to call them. "It has come to my attention that you three are an excellent team. A team that is up to my standards."

Pride flashed in the eyes of both sensei, and students at that comment. "You three work amazingly well together. And you three have come quite a ways in the shinobi arts."

All three nodded their heads.

"So I have all recommended you three for the Chunnin exams that will be held in the land of iron."

Shock was all on their faces. Kakashi continued.

"It's going to be a big event. Shinobi from all across the elemental nations will be participating. That means ninja from all the big villages like Suna and Kumo, to minor villages like Sound and Star."

He looked at all of them in the eye. He still had their attention.

"The Chunnin exams are not for the faint of heart. You have to be in it to win it. So let me ask you three…"

Dramatic pause.

"Will you be willing to put your life on the line and show the world just why Konoha is the best? To show the other nation our power? Our teamwork? Our sportsmanship? Well, tell me! ARE YOU WILLING TO FIGHT FOR YOUR COUNTRIES PRIDE!?"

"HELL YES SIR!" came the reply from the three.

He then held out three pieces of paper. "Then sign these pieces of paper. Go back home and pack. We're going to join up with the other Chunnin hopefuls. After a month of straight training. UNDERSTOOD!?"

"Yes sir!" came the chorus as they handed Kakashi their signed papers.

"Dismissed!"

And the three of them Immedianlty disappeared in a Shunshin. Leaving Kakashi along with one thought going through his head.

Man I love being a teacher that actually commands respect.

I plan on starting two new fics soon. both are of diferent anime's than Naruto but will have Naruto characters in them.

number one is 'Black flames of the fairy'. a fic were a shinobi born Naruto is transported into earthland with the Mangekyo sharingan techniques of Amaterasu and Susanoo being his magic powers. and only those two. he wont be god like. he will essentially be between natsu levels of power and Erza. and yes, just like in this fic Minato and Kushina will be alive and will try to interfere in earthland to get him back...after his kid sister is born and goes to the chunnin exams.

the other is 'luke'n'crew at the monster school.' its basicly all the OC's in this chapter, plus the namikaze family as vampires, and the konoha twelve as different monsters going to yokai academy. and yes. I am going to make sure that that one is downright hilarious. it will be my comedy gift to all of you (hopefully).

AND THATS ALL SHE WROTE!

CUE THE AIRHORNS!

BABABABWAAAAAAAAA!
