Chapter Three: The Bell Test!
Everyone was at training ground 3, Minato read about the bell test and told Fugaku about it so they both ate breakfast, Kushina ate breakfast anyway fully knowing about what might happen but Mikoto stayed obedient and did not eat breakfast that morning.
They waited for half an hour before Mikoto's belly started rumbling, "Didn't you eat breakfast?" Fugaku asked her, she blushed and replied, "No, Jiraiya-sama told us not to" Minato spoke up and said, "He told us not to so that we are weakened out of hunger." "Here, Have this riceball, I figured that at least someone in the group would not have breakfast." Fugaku offered, "Thanks Fugaku" she said while munching away at the riceball. Minato knew that Mikoto has a crush on Fugaku so he wouldn't dare ruin her precious moment. Kushina sat on the other end of the tree feeling left out until – "THE GREAT TOAD SAGE HAS ARRIVED!"
Jiraiya placed an alarm clock on a wooden post, "Listen up brats, this is called the bell test, I have two bells, the two people that can get this of me can officially be in Team Seven and–" "Why are we doing more tests?! We did our shit at the academy!" Kushina shouted, "That was just to see if you were good enough - this is the real test, so as I was saying, and the people who don't get the bell are sent back to the academy, "WHAT!?" Mikoto jawdropped, "The people that fail also don't get this limited edition ramen and are strapped to a wooden pole while watching everyone else eat it, The time limit is 12 o clock, 3,2,1… GO!"
They all shot off into what they thought were good hiding places, at least they know how to hide Jiraiya thought, "LETS FIGHT RIGHT NOW" Kushina screamed, they all sweatdropped, Uzumaki's aren't usually like this Jiraiya thought, Jiraiya threw three kunai's at her which they all missed, "You call yourself the great toad sage with that accuracy? Bullshit," she mocked, That's not it Minato thought, only in last second timing Kushina realized that they were explosive, BOOM – the sound echoed all over the training ground, Kushina was on the floor unconscious ,Jiraiya spotted Minato throwing a strange kunai near Kushina and in an instant–he disappeared, "Teleportation?" Jiraiya looked over again to find Minato and Kushina gone. Minato smirked, it was his latest invention, it required him to spend at least a day making one so he only took three with him. Mikoto saw this as an open opportunity and shouted, " Fire style : Fireball jutsu" Jiraiya dodged it pondering if a genin should have enough chakra to use that jutsu, Mikoto then ran back into the trees knowing she had just revealed her position.
Jiraiya came out of thin air and casted a genjutsu on Mikoto which caused her to faint and fall to the ground, Mikoto called out "Fugaku my love, where are you?" Jiraiya was after Fugaku next, the Uchiha genin used smoke bombs that made the surroundings foggy and then did a roundhouse kick to Jiraiya which he blocked with only his left hand so Fugaku jumped back, he then charged at Jiraiya with a kunai and something just managed to touch the bells before Jiraiya kicked it, "Clever, you used a bushin to make a frontal attack and you went and tried to grab it from behind by also using the smoke to your advantage." Jiraiya after finishing his speech, disappeared. Fugaku was looking around confused to see where Jiraiya was but then a hand came out of the ground and pulled Fugaku in. Damn Fugaku thought while he was being pulled into the ground. He then saw Mikoto walking around confusion, "Haha Mikoto loves you" Jiraiya laughed before searching for his next prey.
Kushina woke up kind of dazed to see trees and a medical kit lying next to her with a note from Minato "I dressed your wounds and injuries, next time don't charge in without a plan" Kushina then looked at her hands and arms to see that it didn't hurt anymore, "I am gonna get that ramen no matter what," She said and got up. She looked around and saw the bells on the ground "This is my chance!" she shouted while running to get the bells when a rope pulled her feet and within 2 seconds she was hanging from a tree upside down, damn it she thought. Jiraiya was standing in front of her holding the bells, "Next time don't charge in without a plan" Jiraiya said "I should have listened to Minato…" She pouted, once Jiraiya was gone she cut the rope using a kunai from her mouth, she saw the bells lying on the floor again but she learnt her lesson and went to find the others to Jiraiya's dismay
Mikoto had just snapped out of her genjutsu and was walking around to locate Jiraiya when she heard Fugaku saying, "Mikoto is that you, can you help me, im stuck" she followed the voice and saw Fugaku "OH MY GOD FUGAKU'S HEAD IS ON THE GROUND AND ITS TALKING TO ME" She screamed and dropped to the ground unconscious. "Great" Fugaku said.
Minato was running through the tree's in the direction he knew Fugaku and Mikoto was in, he stopped and threw one of his flying thunder god kunai's in a bush, Jiraiya held the kunai but was surprised to see that Minato had kicked him with the speed of light. "I see, this is a single-use teleportation jutsu based on fuuinjutsu, I'm impressed with the craftsmanship of this."
Omake: The Incident
This is about what I referenced about "not since the incident" in the last chapter.
Kushina strolled through training ground 3, she liked it the most, "My first day sucked dattebayo…" she said to herself quietly, unknown for her, three boys were watching her, "Now?" said a slim figure, "Now" whispered what seemed to be the head of the gang. "This is just like a real ninja mission!" said the third voice, Kushina snickered and went deeper, she was an Uzumaki as well as prank Queen of Konohakugure – no one could sneak up on her. When she felt like she put enough distance she turned around and shouted, "YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD SNEAK UP ON ME, HUH!?
"Crap, she caught us" a voice came as three boys came out of the bushes, "Hey tomato hed, its time for harvest" a skinny boy teased
"I don't care who you are but LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kushina shouted.
"Hear that guys, she's in a bad mood" Laughed the boy in middle, Kushina gave him a death glare, Minato – who had just been passing by "coincidently" ,just stood behind the tree closest to him while watching the whole scenario. He couldn't make out what they were saying but in a few minutes time he watched Kushina beat up all of the boys simultaneously, only the leader remained with one knee on the ground. Kushina took this opportunity and kicked him in where the sun don't shine repeatedly until blood stained his trousers and he was lying on the ground unconscious. Minato then adapted a new fear of Kushina and when she looked his way he almost pissed his pants, Minato then exited the training ground and was heading to the academy to tell everybody what just happened.
