The MicroKage
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Big Hero 6
THE 7TH DEMON OF RAZGRIZ- Distinctly possible. Disctinctly possible they're all perverts- they're Kakashi's students after all.
kidloco- Not sure yet, but they're all close friends regardless at this point.
glenloc- True, though, that doesn't stop me and my beta from thinking up concepts for how the other ninjas would use them.
iyaoyas- Not my fault I have so many ideas. And I DO have intentino of finishing everyone of them- attempt to, at least.

Tenten scowled as she and her teammate were held back from entering the room where the Chunin Exams were going to take place, by two upstart Genin. Of course, they knew this was the wrong floor and that this was a Genjutsu weeding-test- and said Genin were probably a few Chunin under a henge. They just didn't want to reveal that, intending to play the roles of quitters before heading up to the real room. Honestly, if these Genin couldn't see through the illusion and remember how many floors they climbed, they needed to wait another year or two.
Still, that wasn't what made her genuinely scowl. As she played her part, Lee putting up an exceptional act of appearing weak, her mind wondered to a meeting with their Sensei when he gave them thier Chunin Exam passes...
Flashback
Might Gai's smile of pride turned to a very serious one, "My youthful students, while I have great faith in all of your spirits, I must urge you to be careful in this exam," He instructed in a grave tone.
"We're well aware of the risks, Gai-Sensei," Tenten assured, her teammates nodding firmly.
"It is not the exams I'm warning you of, exactly," Gai corrected, looking off to the side in thought as his students looked confused, "When it was time to nominate which Genin would be entering the exam, there was a person that stepped forth, one I believe I am unfamiliar with," He elaborated, getting very confused looks from his students. While there were many Jonin, all of them knew each other to some extent, freshly promoted ones aside, "He wore an outfit like an ANBU, but with a yokai mask."
"A yokai mask?" Neji repeated curiously. It explained why no one knew this Jonin- if they did, they didn't know it was him.
Gai nodded in confirmation, "The oddest thing was that he never said a word. He merely walked in unannounced, past all the other Jonin and right up to Lord Hokage. All this man did was give him a note. Oddly, the Hokage seemed to be expecting him, and gave him three passes before dismissing the man. When asked who that was, Lord Hokage merely referred to him as Gindo and that he was in charge of a new, experimental team," Gai explained with a scowl, "While I am not questioning Lord Hokage's wisdom, I would wager that whatever Genin this individual has trained will be very skilled. And while my faith in you remains..."
"We understand, Sensei, don't take anyone lightly- even if they're fellow leaf ninja." Tenten summarized, getting a nod from her proud Sensei...
End Flashback
The conversation had been the topic of several team discussions: Anything that got their Sensei serious, and perhaps uneasy, was something to pay attention to. What confused her, and her teammates, was the "experimental team" part. What did that even mean? Was it some new combination of Genin with specific skills? No, they'd test that with Chunin. Unless it was a test to see how well their personalities bonded and meshed in a team relationship?
But none of that explained the secrecy. The only thing that she could guess was that one of them had a new bloodline, but the flaw in that logic was that by making it obvious that a secret exists, you draw a lot of attention to it. Unless...they wanted all the attention on them for some rea-
Tenten became very aware, just then, that everything had become very quiet.
She looked up and saw that everyone was looking down the hall, to the stairs. Or, rather, what had emerged from there: Two individuals in black cloaks and yokai masks; one had white eyes with blue marking and the other had green eyes with red markings.
Naturally, Tenten was a bit on edge now, as was everyone else staring at these two ominous figures that were now standing not even twenty feet from the group of Genin- even the two bouncer "Genin" looked a bit suspicious of these two, despite the Konoha headbands.
'Wait, there's only two. Did the third member not show up?' Tenten asked herself, wondering if their Sensei's warning had been pointless.
Rock Lee was on a similar tangent, 'So, these must be the students of the one Gai-Sensei spoke of. Yet, they are missing a teammate...,' He thought, glancing over to Neji who stealthily nodded from the rear of the group, 'He is here though, Neji has spotted him. Perhaps he is seeking to make a youthful entrance?' He mused as he watched the two figures glance at each other. Despite the lack of voices, it almost looked like they were having a conversation.
Which was exactly what Green Eyes and White Eyes were doing, along with a third someone else, "Naruto, what's taking you? This was your idea, remember?" Sasuke asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, the academy changed the windows since we left: The new locks are giving me a bit of trouble," Naruto answered with a sigh, standing crouched on one of the outside walls of the academy as he tried to lock-pick the window.
"Well, we're standing here like idiots while you're taking your sweet time!" Sakura pointed out in irritation.
"Hey, you're the one that's good with Genjutsu: Make an impression, Oppai. Besides, I'm sure Teme would love not to be the center of attention for once," Naruto suggested with an audible grin.
Sakura sighed behind her mask, but to everyone else, it just looked like the figures came to a silent agreement as Green Eyes walked forward with a measured and even pace until she was standing right in front of the two fake Genin.
"...Something we can help you with?" Izumo asked gruffly with a raised eyebrow as he glanced at the leaf headband around her waist.
Green Eyes didn't respond, but the two in front of her went wide eyed and jumped back slightly as the sign above them, bearing the room number, fell down between them and embedded in the floor. Green Eyes placed her foot on it as everyone eyed her tensely, even as the sign changed from "301" to "201."
'I didn't even see her do anything...,' Tenten thought in amazement before glancing at White Eyes, 'Was it him?'
'What was that?' Lee wondered in confusion, having seen something out of the corner of his eye, but never caught proper sight of it, 'Whatever it was broke the sign in an instant and never stopped moving. I suppose Gai-Sensei was right though, these three are definitely not anyone to take lightly,' He concluded with a determined scowl.
Kotetsu forced a smirk onto his face, as did his longtime friend, "Think you're real clever, eh?" He asked as he tried to take a swinging kick at her. At the last moment, Green Eyes shot a left hook out from beneath her cloak.
It happened so fast, most of the Genin didn't see it happen.
Rock Lee was between Green Eyes and Kotetsu, holding both thier attacking limbs in place. White Eyes was holding a kunai in each hand and pointing them at the heads of Kotetsu and Rock Lee. Green Eyes had pulled out her other hand and revealed a kunai held through the loop by the index finger, pointing it in the direction of a surprised Tenten.
All of them stood in silence for a brief moment before Izumo held up his hands, hoping to defuse the situation, "Ease now, there's no ne-" He started, only to stop as a hand busted out of the door window he had been standing in front of, grasping his head and slamming him into the other door before quickly retracting into the door. Izumo, leaning against the door, turned around quickly, only to go wide eyed and move out of the way as the slide door was pushed open at a violent speed, threatening to crush his hand or slam into his head.
Orange Eyes, the shortest of the three, casually stepped into the scene as the crowd of Genin stepped back. His eyes scanned over the crowd before they landed on Neji Hyuuga, staying on him for a deliberate and meaningful moment.
'...They know we're a team, they know who we are,' Neji concluded with a scowl, 'Just who are these Genin? They look more like ANBU than potential Chunin...'
Orange Eyes glanced only momentarily at Tenten, and again at the wary Izumo, before looking at the four-way standoff. His teammates tilted their masks towards him, slightly, as if they were communicating again. After an eerie moment of silence, the other two nodded to Orange Eyes as they removed and put away their weapons, Green Eyes pulling her arm out of Lee's grip. Without another word, Orange Eyes headed down the hall to the stairwell, the other two flanking him.
"Did...did that just happen?"
"Who the hell were those three?"
As the murmurs went on, Team Gai gathered together as they watched the departing team, "Neji, did you see what they did to the sign?" Tenten asked curiously.
The Hyuuga shook his head at that, "Unfortunately, I was concentrating on the third member picking the window lock," Neji explained with a scowl, "Strange though..."
"What is?" Lee asked with a raised eyebrow.
"When I looked at them, their chakra network...I could see it, but it was...fuzzy, for lack of a better word," He explained in confusion, "Like something was obstructing my Byakugan..."
"What does that mean?" Tenten questioned.
"I'm not sure, but..." Neji trailed off as the black robed Genin reached the end of the hall.
"But?" Tenten prompted with her arms crossed.
"I think they came here to call us out in the exams," Neji explained, nodding towards the group. His teammates looked down and saw that Orange Eyes had turned around with his teammates looking over their shoulders- and all three of them were looking directly at Team Gai. Orange Eyes pointed to Lee, than to himself, before punching a fist into a palm, "Seems they wish pick a fight with us- or at least their leader with you, Lee," Neji noted with a small smirk.
Lee didn't seem to hear his prodigy of a teammate, just staring into the tangerine eyes of that yokai mask, as if trying to see the soul of the young ninja behind them. He smiled as he struck a nice guy pose, sending his new rival a thumbs up.
Tenten just sighed, "So much for keeping a low profile," She lamented as she stared at the three, 'Why us though? Why single us of all teams out?'
Meanwhile, the team of black cloaked Genin were having thier own conversation, "You really took your sweet time showing up," Sakura said, playful mocking mixed with fake annoyance.
"I just didn't want to steal your guys thunder with Faker #1 and Mr. Spandex," Naruto answered cheekily, getting snickers from his teammate.
"Speaking of that, what was with you making it look like you were our boss back there?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"Jealous?" Naruto teased, ducking under both slaps to the back of the head, "But in all seriousness, I just want to see everyone's face when we've worked up all this badass reputation and show them it's us. And they'd expect the one they think is the leader to be Sasuke, so-"
"Okay, we get it," Sasuke cut him off evenly.
"It's a prank," Sakura added on blankly.
"My craft gets no respect, I tell ya!" Naruto folded his arms as he used the voice of a grumpy old man.
"And yet, we go along with it most of the time," Sakura countered with a smirk.
"True," Naruto admitted with an overdramatic sigh, "This must be what all sensei with disrespectful students feel like."
"Don't push it," Sasuke said with a head shake, "So...you taking Lee?"
"Well, I was assuming you'd go for the Hyuuga, Mr. Uchiha," Naruto elaborated with a shrug, "But in all seriousness, as odd it is for me to say that, I figured it'd be fitting for you to fight Neji, Sasuke, and the Gentle Fist would be a good opponent for you to test yourself against. As for Lee? From what Kakashi-Sensei told us, Lee models himself after Might Gai and trains like him. Against a taijutsu user like that, it's probably best for me to take him on.".
A while back, that answer would have surprised the Haruno and Uchiha. Today, it was just mildly amusing to think of the old Dobe from the academy like this.
"So, I got the girl by pure luck of the draw?" Sakura asked skeptically.
"That and whenever possible, I'm going to work the odds in favor of a catfight," Naruto answered, completely serious.
"Pervert," Sakura said with an eye roll.
"Hypocrite," Sasuke countered.
"Never said I wasn't," Sakura cheekily pointed out, "Teme."
"Oppai." Sasuke called back.
"And I'm the Dobe!" Naruto interrupted, loud and annoyed, "Now would you both stop embarrassing me in front of Sensei?"
The other two members blinked as they noticed that they were indeed in front of the doors to the true Chunin exam, their similarly clothed Sensei standing there in his silver eyed mask.
"Naruto, I don't think I can be embarrassed of you at this point," Kakashi said bluntly.
"...Is that an insult or a complement? I can't tell," Naruto asked, scratching the back of his head curiously.
"Take it as either," Kakashi said with a wave of his hand, "I'd say I'm proud you all showed up, but I would have been surprised if you hadn't. Though, try not to destroy too much village property in the future."
"Just put it on my tab," Sasuke said with a shrug.
"Wow, that's generous," Naruto noted in surprise.
"Hey, I've seen how you live- if we made you pay for it, you might not keep up your rent," Sasuke pointed out.
"And then you'd have to move in with one of us," Sakura added on matter-of-factly.
"Most likely me, since I obviously have more room," Sasuke finished.
"Thanks, great to feel loved," Naruto said with an eye roll behind his mask, getting chuckles from all three of his teammates, Kakashi included.
The Son of the White Fang smiled as he looked at the three students that once could barely work together as a team. Now, he'd place bets on them against any squad of Genin in the elemental countries. This would be their trial by fire, to see how far these new...weapons had brought them together as friends and teammates, and how far they had each come as shinobi…among other things.
Silver Eyes nodded as he stepped aside, granting his students entry, before departing himself.
As expected, Orange Eyes kicked the door, getting the attention of the entire room of Genin. All of them turned to glare at the newcomers. Some sneered at the brash entry, while others were intimidated or just confused by their appearance.
Three teams recognized them instantly.
"It seems that those three are just begging for attention," Neji muttered, Tenten nodding absently while Lee watched Orange Eyes.
"Holy shit, it's him! The guy from the alley!" Ino whispered in shock as she saw the tangerine eyes of that yokai mask.
"Great, now there are three of them," Shikamaru murmured, 'Orange, White, and Green. I wonder if that means anything,' He mused to himself.
"Huh, and he's the shortest of them," Choji noted offhandedly.
"He's here. Good," Gaara commented darkly to himself.
"Wait...so I got freaked out by a fucking genin?!" Kankuro asked in annoyance to his sister.
"A genin that Gaara is interested in," Temari reminded with a glare.
Kankuro paused at that as he glanced at his bloodthirsty brother, "Point taken."
"Shino? You getting an odd feeling off those guys too?" Kiba asked to his teammate while Akamaru gave a curious and confused whine.
The Aburame nodded, "Something is masking thier presence all but visually: Scents, chakra signatures, voices. Even those cloaks hide most of their body language," Shino explained evenly.
"Th-they don't want anyone to know who they are," Hinata summarized softly, looking at the three curiously, 'They're from Konoha. Their heights put them around our age and they're Genin...could they be...?' She wondered to herself, a bit doubtfully. It couldn't be them, right?
The trio of Anbu-looking Genin stared down the horde of opponents with such a stance of utter confidence that it was almost inspiring. Like they thought they could kill everyone in the room and come out alive. Under their masks, Team MicroKage grinned at the attention being brought all on themselves, saying the same thing at once, "Let the games begin!"
End of Chapter
And there's chapter two! And we got a little bit of microbot usage- and we had Team MicroKage calling out Team Gai after making quite an entrance. Why, exactly, is anyones guess. But mostly this was some banter between the three- good luck figuring out what is playful banter and what isn't.
Apparently, the Hokage is in on whatever Kakashi and his students are up to and Naruto has apparently called out Lee AFTER he himself was called out by Gaara. And Hinata might just suspect its them under the masks. Shikamaru probably has the possibility filled away for now as well but is too lazy to consider it this early.
Not much else to say- don't worry, the Microbots will get more and more actual use once we get to the Forest of Death. Until next time, I hope you all enjoyed this bit! R&R!
