Anko watched as two figures approached her, they didn't look happy. "Whats wrong brats?"
"Can we just get this over with?" Maiku asked.
"Fine. You're going to go in there, and try to survive until I come and get you." Anko gave an awkward smile. "Now even though I might show up, that doesn't mean training will be over for the day."
"What does that mean?" Naruto asked.
"That means she'll beat the shit out of us sometimes." Maiku stepped through the gate, Naruto behind him.
"Have fun." She locked the gate, and left while laughing.
"Now what aniki?" Maiku remained silent. "Please tell me you have a plan."
Maiku sighed. "Not this time."
"You're supposed to be the plan guy!" Naruto shouted.
"Give me a minute alright?" Maiku started pacing. "Damn still nothing. Lets just make it up as we go."
"That usually works for us." Naruto jumped into the trees. "Lets go." Maiku followed after him. "What do you think we'll run into?"
"I don't know. I've heard some of the stuff others have talked about like giant bugs and oh my god!" They quickly stopped. "How are we gonna beat that?" Stuck to the tree in front of them sat a giant scorpion. It was black, stinger stained with blood. Its eyes followed the two.
"I hate Anko-nee-chan." Maiku grunted in agreement. "Plan?"
"Ain't got one." Naruto cursed. "Some advice though, avoid the tail." The scorpion moved to the ground and Maiku threw a few kunai at its legs. They hit the ground and exploded. "Damn, that just made it mad."
The scorpion launched its tail forward. Maiku dived out of the way and drew his sword to block a strike from one of its claws, only to be pushed away. Naruto launched kunai at its back. They stuck and exploded but no damage. "This ain't good."
"Tell me about it." Maiku ducked bellow a tail swipe. They both heard the scorpion take a deep breath. "No way!"
"Shit!" It exhaled a large gust of wind. "Son of a bitch!" The wind cut their arms and legs. "We can't penetrate its skin. What do we do?"
"We can't...but it can! Stay here!" Maiku threw shuriken at the beast's face, but they were blocked by the tail. He jumped onto it's back and slashed at its back. Naruto threw a kunai with a flash tag attached to it. It went off in its face. It started to thrash wildly, attacking in random directions. It cut itself in its back, leaving a small gash and a black liquid started flowing.
"Now we got an opening." Naruto made hand seals. "Fuuton: Renkuudan!"
"Raiton: Yusurubu!" Maiku pitched the ball of lightning and the scratch mark. The attacks did little, but the wound widened. "We're going to have to keep attacking that." And Maiku threw most of his kunai with exploding tags attached. The following explosion cause a loud shriek.
This pattern went on for hours; the scorpion seemed to slow down. "Lets pierce that shell." Maiku and Naruto drew theirs swords. They jumped to its back. "We revealed its nervous system." Maiku looked around. "Stab that!" They dug their swords into the crack and the scorpion cried out in pain.
It shook them off and retreated deeper into the forest. "No use going after it." Naruto looked around. "We'd be easy targets in the dark."
"That was impressive." The two turned around. Only to find Anko sitting on a snake's head eating dango. "Pretty smart. Anyway, report tomorrow for more training." Maiku and Naruto quickly left the training area. The training for the two months, between interrogation and Anko's extreme combat training in area forty four. They also had training with Asuma and Kakashi.
"Hey Naruto get your ass up. We gotta go and Tenten already left." the door swung open, showing Naruto in a black hoody, black pants, and black shoes. His headband on his forehead.
"Lets go. He said as he climbed down the stairs. Maiku grabbed his hoody, it was black with a solid read strip down each sleeve. He left it unzipped revealing a red shirt. He had black baggy pants, black boots, crimson fingerless gloves, and his headband on his forehead as well though he kept his hood up so it wasn't visible.
They were walking to the academy. "Wonder what its going to be like."
"No clue. But we're still gonna beat down everybody to pass." Naruto smiled. "Right aniki?"
"Hell yeah!" Maiku patted his seal. "We're an army, all four of us." They reached the academy in five minutes. "Third floor right?" Naruto nodded. Maiku looked at the room number. "But we only went up one flight of stairs?" He thought for a moment. "Alright I figure it out."
"Please just let us through." Maiku heard a familiar voice and turned his head just in time to see something bad. He just witnessed Tenten get knocked down.
"HEY!" Maiku shouted as he walked over, anger visible on his face. He delivered a punch that connected. "Not a good idea!" A kick from the other genin came and Naruto caught it.
"Can't let you get all the fun." Naruto said as he pushed the other guy back and got into a fighting stance.
"Drop the genjutsu already, we're only on the second floor." Came an arrogant voice.
"Yeah, thats easy to figure out if you know how to count." Maiku said as he grabbed Tenten's hand, helping her up. "You ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine." She smiled.
"Good. I know you said not to worry during the exam, but it didn't start yet." Maiku clearly remembered a talk he had with his wife about the exam. He was glad he quickly thought of a loophole. He kissed her on the cheek and left for the stairs, Naruto behind him.
"Good going aniki." Naruto patted his friend on the back. "Man that Uchiha is an idiot. That genjutsu was there for a reason."
"Yeah I thought they were all supposed to be 'genius' or some shit." They turned the corner to see Anko standing by the 301 door with some other leaf jounin instructors.
"I knew you two would be here." Anko smiled at her students.
"We didn't spend two months of crazy ass training for nothing. We're ready." Naruto pumped his fist in the air. Maiku just nodded.
"Well get in there then." Maiku smiled, his turn to seem excited. He swiftly kicked open the door. The two walked in and noticed the stares.
"The fuck you lookin' at?" Naruto asked. They felt waves of killer intent sent at them, but they flared their own back, it quickly filled the room. Most turned away nervously, others continued to stare with added interest. One particular, he had red hair and a tattoo of the word love on his forehead.
"Wow Sasuke who beat your ass?" Maiku asked. Sasuke was about to answer when Lee entered.
"Yosh! I was testing my flames of youth!" Maiku nodded.
"Good job Lee." Naruto said. The other rookies came in.
"Naruto-kun." Ino walked over.
"Your date went well I suppose?" Maiku shoved Naruto forward.
"Hey Ino-chan, you missed the show earlier on the second floor. I was awesome." Naruto had a large grin.
'Idiot.' Maiku thought.
"He can be at times." Bogu said.
"Tenten told me when I ran into her downstairs. You two can't stay out of trouble." Ino said.
"Hey its not our fault. Anyway wanna go out after this? I know a great place." Ino thought about the last date. Naruto took her Meshi, a new restaurant. It was very expensive. What she didn't know was that maiku had given Naruto most of the money for it.
"Sure." She smiled. "It'll be fun."
"Hey you guys need to keep it down." A white haired konoha-nin walked over to them. He pointed at Maiku. "Most were fine tolerating the door kicking, but not this much noise."
"What can I say, I love pissing people off." Maiku responded, a hint of hostility in his voice.
"You are all the rookies right? The name is Kabuto and look I'll help you out." kabuto pulled out some cards. "I've gathered information and stored it in these cards. Anyone you want to know about?"
Sasuke stepped forward. "Naruto Uzamaki and Maikeru Yaiba."
Maiku raised an eyebrow as Naruto cracked his knuckles, ready to beat the bastard. "Ok heres Maikeru. Sensei is Anko Mitarashi, not a lot of missions, just a few C-ranks, an insane chakra level, kenjutsu expert, married?"
"How is that important?" Maiku asked.
"Naruto Uzamaki. Again not many missions...damn, even higher chakra level that Maikeru. They both have an impressive list of jutsu. Got to watch out for these two. I've heard their teamwork is rather unpredictable."
"Only when aniki can come up with a plan." Naruto glared at his 'older brother.'
"Hey, how many times have I fought a giant scorpion?" Maiku chuckled at the faces of the other genin. "I was just glad when we finally hunted that thing down and ended it. Took us a month and a half. Put the damn thing's head in my office." Maikeru grabbed the cards that contained Naruto's and his info and burned them with a fire jutsu he learned.
"Anyway, you two aren't the only powerful ones here." Maiku was failing miserably to stop himself from laughing at the angered Uchiha. "The other villages sent their best, I'm still unfamiliar with Oto, but they're small and new. Don't have a lot of information." Kabuto was rushed by an Oto-nin. He easily dodged the kunai, and the following punch. His glasses broke and began vomiting.
'He dodged it. Then how?' Naruto thought.
"I'll try to figure it out kit. I'm sure there's some trick to it." Kyuubi said, its interest perked.
"Alright settle down!" Someone shouted.
"Oh this isn't good." Naruto sighed.
"I'm your proctor for the first exam. Ibiki Morino."
