"Okay Tenten!" Called Asuma. "You're up!"

The weapon-clad teen got up from the group of sitting Chuunins. At the moment, the Rookie 9 and Team Gai were sitting in a cluster on the ground, having just heard their senseis explain why they were all there. They were going to engage in a group-training spar.

But this wasn't to test their combat skills.

This was a specific activity that would test one of the most important qualities a ninja was required to posess.

The Rookie 9 and Team Gai were gathered there that day, to test one ability:

The ability to kill.

"Umm, Asuma-sensei?" The brunette asked apprehensively.

"What Tenten?" The Sarutobi responded tiredly. He was really picking up the mannerisms of a certain "less than motivated" pupil of his.

"Uhh, I brought a CD player and some music," She started. "You know, to help us focus?" Tenten added quickly.

"Uhh, s-sure. Why not?" Asuma replied tentatively.

Sakura watched as Tenten opened the top of the small, battery-powered CD player, and popped a disk in.

"Hey, I bet she put all our theme songs on it." Sakura smiled playfully at the Inuzuka next to her. "Yeah," Started Kiba. "You think she would forget something like that."

Like a lot of people, Sakura and her friends enjoyed doing daily activities to music. So, their friend Tenten had burned a disk of the group's favorite songs.

They were planning to fight the same way they did their laundry, housework, and training: to music.

You may be asking yourself, how are they going to test their kill-ability? Are they going to kill one another? Well, the answer is no.

The Jounin were going to test their students by placing them in a Genjutsu where they were going to battle imaginary ninja.

And the battles were about to start.

"Okay Tenten! You're up!" Called Asuma. He glanced at his fiance, noting her features set in a mask of deep concentration.

Asuma then stole a look at they Weapons-Mistress.

A huge, sadistic grin was spreading across her face.

"Go Tenten! Yeah! WOOOO!" cheered a grinning Kiba. Sakura and Shikamaru followed suit. "Here goes nothin' " Tenten thought.

Sakura reached over to the CD player and hit play. (A/N: Okay, in my story, whenever there is a song, instead of saying the real band name, i'm making it so that it was Sakura's band, or her father's singing.)

(Easy Target by Blink-182 starts)

Tenten ran through the barrier and into the genjutsu. Her feet stomped the earth to the beat of the song.

Kiba's recorded voice was blasting out of the speakers. It was one of their band's first songs, off their first album. Memories came rushing at her as she fought in the melee of the jutsu.

After she had just launched a barrage of projectiles at the incoming wave of nin, a feral grin spread across her face.

She turned to face the incoming army of jutsuborn ninja. Her chocolate orbs screamed determination. She looked at the approaching nin, and rushed to greet them with her chain-sickle.

As she was about to throw herself into the throng of shinobi, the girl cried a strange proclomation, her voice filled with determination and fighting spirit.

Tenten yelled at the top of her lungs :

"I AM THE FLOWER THAT THEY'LL PLACE AT YOUR CASKET!"
