I don't own Naruto.

Okay, here's chapter 3. This chapter is basically going to set up the future character structure. This will set up some of the future teams. Enjoy

Chapter 3: New Members

Rain poured from the dark sky as Naruto walked to the training field. Today he would test Tai, Sai, Kiba, and Choji. He was looking forward to sparring with each of them. Naruto frowned as he realized how bad this would hurt.

He met Tsunade and the others at the training field. He greeted everyone and Tsunade chose Sai to go first.

"Ready, begin!"

At Tsunade's call, both Naruto and Sai jumped into action. Naruto threw three shuriken at Sai, who countered with three shuriken of his own. The shuriken collided in mid-air. When everyone looked back from the shuriken, both ninja were gone.

"Where'd they go?" asked Choji.

"Sai's in the air on one of his drawings. Naruto teleported," said Yamato.

Everyone watched closely as Naruto appeared on the back of Sai's eagle and began to fight Sai hand-to-hand. The two went at it for a few minutes, using their chakra to stay planted on the eagle's back. Yamato and the others tried to see what was happening, but due to the distance, many of them were unable to see. Suddenly, Sai was knocked off the eagle and began to plummet toward the ground. Sai quickly pulled out his pen and ink and drew a new creation to save him. This was a Pegasus. Sai also drew a sword to use as he flew toward Naruto.

Naruto formed hand signs and a giant gust of wind blew toward the Pegasus. The drawing tried to fly forward, but Naruto's jutsu was to powerful, and it was forced back. It rolled over Sai and vanished.

"I'm not done yet, Naruto!" said Sai as he formed many hand signs.

"Neither am I!" yelled Naruto, forming his own hand signs.

"Funnel Cloud Jutsu!" yelled Naruto, finishing his hand signs first.

"Summoning Jutsu: Great Ink Dragon!"

Sai slammed his fist to the ground and summoned a giant dragon made of ink. The dragon shielded Sai as Naruto's funnel cloud approached. The dragon was hard pressed to protect Sai, but soon Naruto's jutsu wore off, and the dragon roared victoriously. Sai had already started forming more hand signs.

"Fire Style: Ink Dragon Breath Jutsu!"

The dragon roared again as a giant fireball emerged from its mouth. The fireball was headed straight for Naruto, who performed his own summoning.

"Summoning Jutsu: Spray Toad Summoning!"

The large toad appeared in a puff of smoke and sprayed its burst of water at the fireball. The water prevailed and continued on to strike the dragon, washing away the ink that had been used to summon it.

Naruto had already summoned another toad and was preparing another attack.

"Summoning Jutsu: Lightning Toad Summoning!"

The summoned toad shot a large blast of lightning out of an orb on its stomach. Sai was unable to block the attack, and was thrown back into a tree.

"That's enough!" called Tsunade. She had seen enough. She knew that each boy would continue and could possibly hurt each other.

The veteran White Ops immediately met and discussed the battle, analyzing the ups and downs of Sai's style. Finally, they agreed upon a decision and allowed Sai to join them. Next Tsunade chose Choji to face Yamato while Naruto rested. Naruto was glad to take a break.

The battle was short. Choji quickly showed that he had incredible power, rolling through every barricade Yamato could construct. After ten minutes with no clear winner, Tsunade called the match, and the White Ops admitted Choji as a new member.

"Now," said Tsunade, "since both Naruto and Yamato have fought and are tired, we'll break for lunch. Be back at three for the remainder of the tests."

The group left and went to Ichiraku. At three o'clock, Naruto and the others returned, ready for another round of tests.

Tsunade decided that after a short break, Yamato would test Kiba first, and then Naruto and Tai would face each other. Although sensei did not typically test students, Tsunade allowed it this time because of Tai's pleading.

Kiba and Yamato didn't take long. Much like Choji, Kiba powered through all of Yamato's barricades. Yamato had no choice but to take an offensive, and even then, Kiba had no trouble. Kiba was a definite pick to be in the White Ops. When the battle was over, Sakura and Tsunade proceeded to look over Yamato's minor injuries, while Naruto and Tai began to warm up.

After finishing with Yamato and Kiba, Tsunade returned to call the fight between Naruto and Tai, but when she returned, she realized that Naruto and Tai were already at each other's throats. Both had prepared a Rasengan and were now charging full-speed.

"Naruto's going to regret teaching him that jutsu," said a voice, startling Tsunade.

She sighed with relief. "Kakashi, I trust the mission went well?

Naruto and Tai collided, sending out a massive shockwave, ruffling Kakashi's spiky silver hair.

"Yes, we found exactly what we were looking for. Madara's co-conspirators are still out there, trying to find an army to attack with."

Another massive collision of jutsu from Naruto and Tai sent a second shockwave across the field. Tsunade nearly lost her footing.

"Any in particular that are dangerous?" she asked.

"Not really. Most are retreating to the Metal Villages, and that's where the big threat is."

"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Assault!" shouted Tai, releasing a massive blast of fire at Naruto, who barely dodged the attack.

"Oh yeah! Well take this! Orange Flash Jutsu!"

Naruto immediately teleported behind Tai and struck him with a Rasengan, only to find a Shadow Clone in his place. Naruto noticed he was surrounded by Tai look-alikes.

"Not good," muttered Naruto.

"Try this sensei! Aguni Clan Secret Jutsu: Golden Chakra Exploding Clone!"

Each of the Shadow Clones immediately exploded, sending Naruto into the sky.

"Aguni Barrage!" said Tai as he jumped over his sensei and prepared to kick him back to the ground. His foot made contact, but Naruto immediately vanished in a puff of smoke.

"Nice try, Tai, using my old jutsu, but it's not enough."

"I think you should call it before they kill each other, Lady Tsunade."

"You're right, Kakashi. Alright, you two, enough. It's time to decide if Tai passes."

The White Ops, including Kakashi, immediately discussed how well Tai had performed, and decided to allow him to join the White Ops.

"That settles it then," said Tsunade. "I'll have assigned the teams by tomorrow. Everyone in the White Ops needs to meet me in conference room 4 at 9:00a.m. sharp. Dismissed!"

Everyone immediately left, tired after the day's activities.

Well, that's the end of that. Up next, a new hokage will be named, and Naruto and the others will receive their new missions. See ya!
