Training Complete: Chunin Exams

"Okay I have to say I am very impressed," Chet says to his students. "You have all done well over this month of training, but now it is time for your final practice before you head off to take the exams. Is everyone ready?" His students then nod. "Good first off, Zack come here."

Zack comes and Chet says to lean toward him so he can tell him something.

"Zack I want you to ambush Lauren, that's your mission for this practice." Zack then nods then backs off.

"Lauren your next," She does the same as Zack. "I want you to ambush Jack, Okay."She replies with an "Okay."

"And last, but least Jack." Jack comes up. "I want you to ambush Zack," Jack nods and give him thumbs up.

"Okay you all have you assignments, now I want you to hide out, in exactly one minute I want you to do the assignment I asked," He tells them. "Everyone got it?"

"Yes sensei," they all say at once.

"Okay, now begin."

Zack, Lauren, and Jack "RIGHT!"

Minute Later

"Okay, time's up," Chet says, "Better do my part to help out."

(With Jack)

"With my Byakugan, I'll be about to find Zack easily." Jack is jumping from tree to tree, before stopping to see Zack standing in the middle of a lake. "Haha, to easy." Jack turns off his byakugan and takes out a kunai knife and plans his attack.

(With Lauren)

"It's only a matter of time; with this fake Zack, Jack is sure to fall for the bait and right into my trap." Lauren is under the water where the fake Zack is. She then hears footsteps getting closer. "That must be him." Lauren starts to do handsigns. "I take him out nice and quickly.

(With Zack)

Zack is walking down a trail folding his arms. "Great, I can't seem to find Lauren anywhere," he says annoyed, "Damn, for all I know she has maybe found me and following me right NOW!" He throws a shuriken at a tree only to hit nothing. "Need to calm down, SHARINGAN." He then starts to travel by the trees. "I better hurry out or either one of them could get the jump on me."

(With Jack & Lauren)

"Okay now." Jack then starts to run towards Zack and throw his knife. "Okay, now depending on what he does, I will react-" The knife then hit Zack in the head. "What the-?" Zack then melts into the water.

"Okay now number two." Lauren then activates her jutsu. "Water Style: Water Clone Transformation." Two Zacks then come out of the water and says, "You really then I would fall for that."

"Of course I didn't but you are my target, and now you're mine." Jack then starts to rush one of the zack's. The other then comes and double team Jack only to be stopped by a kick the other zack.

"Damn, I still need more practice with this new technique." She then closes her eyes and thinks of another plan. "Oh-ho, I'm running out of breath, I better finish this off quick." She then sees on her clones swimming towards her. "Great, now I want you to attack and distract Jack for a while, but the clone does not stop. Lauren then notices something about his eye. "Wait, my clones can't use the sharingan."

"That right."

Lauren then opens her eyes to see Jack carrying her standing away from Zack. "I'm not going to let you easily win this time Zack." He then sets her down.

"When did you figure out they weren't real?" she asked.

"Right from the get go," he answers. In his mind, "To be honest, I didn't realize until after one of the clones kicked one of the others."

"Well then," Zack then gets into a stance. "I hope you are ready to lose Lauren, because you are my target.

"And you're mine Zack," says Jack.

"Don't expect me to go easy just because you got me out of a tight spot, Jack."

The three students then stare at each other for a while

(Behind a tree)

"Not bad, they all have come very far, Zack and his tracking skills, Jack in his taijutsu, and Lauren with her strategies," Chet admits. "Now let's see just how far they have come.

(Back with the students)

"Bring IT."

"Fire style: Phoenix Flower." Zack aims at Jack.

"Water style: deep puddle." Lauren then slams her hand to the ground as a puddle of water starts to form around her.

"Come on Zack, you can do better than that." Jack then raises his hand. "Eight Trigrams: Air Palms." The force of the air stops the small flames.

"I better stop whatever Lauren's doing, could be trouble." Jack then sprint to Lauren and tries to strike her, only to have her sink into the puddle she made. "What happen where she went?" The puddle then moves behind Jack and then she hand grab him, trying to bring him down. "Damn, just my luck."

"Perfect now's my chance to attack," Zack then charges to her only to stop after a while. "Genjutsu, so she has even learned Genjutsu by making her own jutsu for it," he says, "Not bad." Zack then focuses his chakra, "But, not good enough, release."

"My jutsu's been broken." She then jumps up and holds a knife to his neck. "Damn, I wanted that to work, but I guess I have to be more direct."

"Hmm, this could be bad, Zack you mind helping me out, I know you don't want to lose."

Zack then runs quickly towards them, "Of course you know I can't lose."

"No, wait Zack stop," Lauren tries to warn him, but a little too late. Jack then appears from on top of a tree and grabs and puts Zack in the same position.

"Haha, it appears that I have won this little training match," Jack yells out.

"It appears you have spoken too soon," Zack says. Zack then walks away right through Jack and his kunai.

"How," Jack asks.

"I didn't really expect it to work as Lauren's but it seems to work will enough," Zack explains.

"You copied my jutsu," she asked walking up to him.

"Yeah, but it was a tricky one, also it's not as powerful as you're version," he answers.

"Good job, everyone," the Genjutsu is then broken and the three students turn to see their sensei. "You have all exceeded my expectations, and passed with flying colors." Chet says to them all.

"Who's says that anymore?" Lauren then asks. "You know what never mind."

"Now, the exams start in a few days, get well rested and be ready, I'm counting on you guys to make me proud.

"Yes sensei," they all say to him at once.

"Okay dismissed." Zack then leaves saying that he needs to train his sharingan a bit more. Jack leaves saying that; it wasn't over, because he had a plan to get out of the genjutsu. Lauren then walks off saying that she wonders if the genjutsu will be effective during the exams.

"They are getting stronger, now it's only a matter of time before we'll see how they fair against the rest of the genin. Chet then disappear.

(Later at the exam startup)

"Welcome all genins from many villages, I am Minty and I will be your first instructor for the first round of the chunin exams," he says to everyone. "I see many worthwhile genins here, but we shall see how long it takes to make you all squirm."

Genins from all over are now ready to take the exam and prove that they are ready to take that next step as a shinobi. The Chunin Exams begins now.

Chapter 4 complete, so sorry that I haven't updated in a while, but school has really not let me a lot of time, but now things have calm down and my story is now really to continue.
