Chapter 3: Training

Having arrived early for their training with Kakashi, the three Genin decided to work on their ninjutsu.

"Hyoton: Senbon!" Ino called. Ice formed senbon needles and they showered down on the target.

"Yaton: Nui," Shikamaru said quietly. Shadows became solid and were shaped like needles. They pierced his target, hitting vital spots and spots that bleed a lot. Naruto grinned as he called,

"Renton: Arekeruu Kaze!" A strong wind blew around the training field, demolishing trees and targets. They kept practicing.


Kakashi couldn't believe what he was seeing. These students were using kekkei genkai. They shouldn't be able to. Naruto was using Renton. Ino was using Hyoton. Shikamaru was using one he'd never heard of before. But the kekkei genkai weren't from Konoha. He watched as Shikamaru performed some hand signs.


"Yaton: Kankaku," Shikamaru muttered. His jutsu allowed him to sense others in a certain vicinity, even if they were masking their chakra. He could sense Naruto and Ino and a third person.

"We have company," he told the others, "Our sensei. Hiding in the forest. 30 meters to the left." Naruto and Ino gleefully leapt toward the location Shikamaru specified.


Kakashi was surprised when Naruto and Ino started towards his hiding place.

"How did they know I was here? I've been masking my chakra," he thought. He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice the Genin appeared in front of him. He cursed his carelessness.

"Oh, it's just you," Naruto said dismissively. Ino grinned and added,

"Since you're here, you can be a practice dummy!" A sigh sounded from behind Kakashi. The Jounin turned around to see Shikamaru step out of the shadow of the tree.

"That would be impractical Ino. If Kakashi got put in the hospital, we wouldn't be able to go on missions," he explained. Ino nodded. Kakashi realized that Shikamaru only stopped Ino because the missions would stop if he didn't.

"Well, since you've seen us practicing, you might as well come watch us out in the open," Ino chirped. Ino and Shikamaru strode back to the training field. Kakashi was about to follow them when Naruto grabbed his arm.

"Don't try to spy on us again," he growled, "You're lucky Shika recognized you, or we would have come in swinging and I don't want to have to sit through another lecture about how I'm not supposed to kill Leaf shinobi." Naruto walked past Kakashi and returned to the training field. He watched as his team practiced jutsu after jutsu.

"Yaton: Shimekorosu," Shikamaru said. A shadow hand crept up the throat of a bird and started to strangle it. Kakashi watched in horror as the Genin's faces lit up. The bird screeched, trying to break free. However it was no use. The bird ran out of air and died.

"Aww! I was hoping it would last longer than that!" Ino complained. Naruto grumbled and Shikamaru shrugged with the ghost of a grin on his face.

"I have to go speak to the Hokage about something," he told them, "Keep practicing." They rolled their eyes and grumbled a little. Kakashi poofed away to the Hokage Tower.


"Lord Hokage, my team is very clearly insane. They were grinning as Shikamaru strangled an animal and they're always talking about how screams are more fun. They told me that they like torture and killing," Kakashi said. The Hokage said nothing for a moment.

"What do you want me to do, Kakashi?" he asked.

"They are clearly in need of mental help," Kakashi exclaimed. The Hokage shook his head.

"I'm afraid the council would never permit it. You see, those three are supposed to be Konoha's secret weapon in the upcoming war," the Hokage explained.

"How so? They're supposed to be Genin!" Kakashi retorted. The Hokage grimaced.

"After what the village did to them, they are no longer children. They haven't been children, even during their academy days," the Hokage said. Kakashi stared in disbelief.

"What happened to them?" he asked. The Hokage gave him a pained look.

"That is classified information Kakashi. The High Council are the only ones who are supposed to know about it," he replied. Kakashi shook his head.

"Well, I need to get back to my team," Kakashi said, bowing to the Hokage. He poofed back to the training field.


He returned to the training field and saw his team the middle of a massacre. Dead animals littered the ground around them. They grinned psychotically. Kakashi walked over to them and said,

"Alright, I think it's time for a mission." They went to the mission room and received a mission to track down Tora the cat. The Genin rolled their eyes and Kakashi kept an eye on them. They tracked the cat across the rooftops with Naruto being the one to catch it. Tora was returned. The Genin could see why the cat ran away. His owner hugged him and he almost looked blue under his fur. They received another D-Rank mission. It went alright. The Genin became bored.

"Hey, Kakashi. We're done for today. We're going to go see if Ibiki-niisan has any spies for us to play with," Shikamaru said. Kakashi just let them go. They walked off, heading towards T&I.


"Ibiki-niichan, we're back again!" Ino greeted, swinging open the door. Ibiki looked up from his paperwork. He didn't bother arguing.

"We have an unbroken prisoner in cell five. No need for actual interrogation. Do whatever you want," he said. The excited looks on the Genin's faces spoke for themselves. The Genin dashed down to the cell Ibiki specified. The man would be broken soon.


T&I shinobi were freaked out when they heard screams coming from the cells.

They freaked even more when they realized the walls were supposed to be soundproof.


Ibiki massaged his temples. Many of the shinobi at T&I had panicked about the screams. He told them that three special shinobi often came and that if they saw them, to leave them alone.

Those three would be the death of him.


Naruto, Shikamaru and Ino returned to the barbeque restaurant. They sat at their usual table.

"That was the most fun I've had in ages," Shikamaru said, smirking. Ino giggled and added,

"Yeah, his screams were simply lovely. I hope we can play with him again." Naruto snorted.

"If he survived this time around, I'm sure Ibiki-niisan will let us play with him again," he told Ino. Said girl clapped happily and gave a demented giggle. Kakashi, who was listening in on them again, shivered at their obvious glee. They talked about what they did to the prisoner.


Meanwhile, T&I was checking on the prisoner. The shinobi wasn't prepared for the blood splattered everywhere. Many of the prisoner's bones were broken and his eyes were wide open. Only a slight rise and fall of his chest indicated that he was alive.


Kakashi was nearly sick at some of the things they had done. He knew it. They were insane. Unfortunately, in war, it was an asset to have shinobi who didn't care about killing.

He was afraid that if they started killing during battle, they wouldn't stop.

Here are the translations.

Hyoton: Senbon-Ice Style: Senbon

Yaton: Nui-Shadow Style: Stitching

Renton: Arekeruu Kaze-Storm Style: Raging Wind

Yaton: Kankaku-Shadow Style: Sense

Shadow Style is one that I created for Shikamaru. Ino and Naruto's would have been difficult to make up one for, so I gave them already existing ones.

That's the end of this chapter. This one was meant to be more of a filler chapter. Please review!
