Vekugents: Hey Veku, don't worry about power scaling, Cress and others with always have challenges to make battles entertaining. And I don't do Harems so no worries. As for bashing, I'll have to think about that, thanks for reviewing again. And I'll do my best to add more humor!
nickclause: Thanks for reviewing.
PrinceChaos: Now folks let's get started!
A day has passed for our two new genin. After an exciting day of catching their old sensei, eating a great ramen feast, and then sleeping the rest of time away, now came the fateful time.l, team assignments.
The very day that would decide who you would spend the very rest of your career with. You'd could be teamed up with people who would end up being your family...Or more like with people who would drive you to the very dark brinks of insanity.
Fingers snapped in front of Cress, snapping him out of his thoughts. "Wake up monkey boy, you're drooling. Thinking about bannanas?"
Cress glared at Kiba as he wiped drool from his mouth. "Whatever. Choji, got anymore of those chips?"
The munching boy truned to him as he just finished the bag. "Haha, sorry Cress, I just finished." Cress stomach growled as he groaned and slammed his head into the table.
'Damn you hunger, why must you hurt your precious host.'
Shino's mysterious self appeared out of nowhere next to Cress, taking a seat. "Cress, didn't you and Naruto fail the test? How'd you become genin?"
"Yeah, shorty, spill the tea." Kiba said, playing with his small puppy.
Cress rubbed his head, remembering that he wasn't supposed to tell anyone. That meant only one thing...time for an...excuse. As he opened his mouth, there way a yell from the two emo loving banshees of the class.
"NARUTO!"
Turning to all the commotion, Cress somehow became pale to the sight that was presented before him.
Naruto and his so called rival, were currently engaged in a kiss.
"T-this is not what I meant by an excuse." He mumbled to himself.
The blonde and black haired boys quicky separated from each other, and began rubbing their mouths. As Naruto rubbed his, a sudden evil atmosphere took over the class as he turned to be faced with a group of gir- no demons.
No words needed to be spoke for the amount of pain that was about to dealt upon the boy.
"Mercy?' He asked in a small voice.
And as the pounding began, even Kiba stopped laughing as he flinched a bit. "I even felt that."
After Naruto's beating ended, Iruka walked into the classroom.
"Alright, everyone settle down, and get to your seats. I will become reading off your team assignments."
Cress began tuning out, Iruka, only coming back to his senses when he heard familiar names being called.
"Team 7...Sakura Haruno." At hearing her name, pink haired girl perked up, just hoping to hear Sauske's name next.
"Naruto Uzumaki." The most disappointed look appeared on her face as she heard that, but Naruto however laughed and jumped up.
"Yes!" He felt like he had just one the greatest Ninja ever award, but his spirits soon deflated, and Sakura's rose.
"And Sauske Uchiha."
Sakura jumped up as Naruto slumped down. Sauske being his usual self, just grunted, not caring about the two.
"Take that Ino, I'm on a team with Sauske-kun!"
Ino deflated like a balloon at the news. Knowing her rival had won was a huge blow to her ego.
"Iruka sensei, why does a great Ninja like me have to be on a team with this guy!" He yelled.
Iruka activated his favorite iconic, big head jutsu. "It was necessary to balance out the best and the worst! Now sit down!" All that could be heard after was Cress laughing in the back.
"Hey, I know you're not laughing you ass! You did just as bad as me!" Naruto exclaimed as his brother across the room.
Cress stopped laughing and glared. "Don't put me on blast like that! I did better at taijutsu thank you!"
"Both of you mediocre idiots shut up so I can continue!" Both Uzumakis slumped down and crossed their arms.
Iruka sighed and continued on with the rest of the list of teams.
"Team 8 will consist of Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuga, and Shino Aburame." Cress breathed a sigh of relief hearing that team compilation.
"Phew, almost thought I would have to be on a team with the dog boy. Good luck Hinata, and Shino. You both are gonna need."
After he heard a small giggle and a chuckle, he tuned out so he couldn't hear Kiba's yells. Team nine didn't have anyone he knew, so he tuned back in during the next team.
"Team 10 will consist of Ino Yamanaka, Shikmaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi." A long groaned was heard from the lazy Nara.
"What a drag." Choji continued to eat his food and Ino slammed her head into the table. 'No way. While I'm stuck with lazy and food boy, Sakura gets to be on a team with Sauske-kun. Life is so not fair.
Soon Iruka finished the teams and closed his book. "And that's all. Your sensei's will arrive to pick you up soon. I enjoyed our time together, make me pround."
Cress blinked and rubbed his head and rubbed his head with his tail. "Uhh, Iruka sensei. What about me?" Iruka stopped and laughed embarrassedly.
"Oh, Cress. You're supposed to meet your team at the 23rd training field tommorow." After giving Cress his instructions, Iruka exited the classroom.
'Wonder why I'm not meeting them today.'
As time passed, senseis collected their teams, leaving team 7 and Cress as the ones still in the clarrom.
Cress sighed and got up, walking over to Naruto. "I'll see you at home Naruto, good look with the emo and screecher." He mumbled.
He froze when he heard knuckles crack. 'Shit.' He turned with a nervous laugh and smile to an angry looking Sakura.
"Care to repeat that Cress?" He chuckled and put his hands up before hopping out the nearest open window, narrowly escaping a punch from the evil pink head. "Get back here Cress!" He laughed and waved as he left the academy.
Cress had been wondering town for a good 15 minutes, not having a clue on what he should do to pass some time.
He looked at his hand, flashing back at what came out of it yesterday. 'What was that. Was that chakra? It couldn't be...Could it?'
He punched hisbpalm in annoyance and frustration, he wanted to learn more about this power, but he didn't know how. There wasn't like there was a place full of easily accessible information for anyone to come and view...Or was there.
A lightbulb went off in his head as he figured it all out. "I must go to the library!" He yelled out to no one in particular.
Though there was a little girl next to him playing with a doll that stopped to stare at him, like he was some type of made man. "...You're weird mister."
He crossed his arms and looked away. "The cool weird?' He asked, only for her to shake her head, no.
"Forget you too kid." He jumped away, off to the library, with hope for discovery, and a crushed ego.
After a short period of time our hero arrived at the library.
He entered quietly and looked around. Shelves after shelves of books and tables for people to sit. Though there looked like there were few people here at the moment.
'Alright, what am I supposed to be looking for? C'mon Cress, think.' After a few seconds his eye twitched in anger with himself. "Use your brain idiot!" He accidentally yelled to himself out, and received a ruler to the ahead.
He to the librarian that toss it while rubbing his head.
"Shush. No negative energies in the library. One more think from you and your gone." Even though his head hurt, the librarian had given him a helpful clue.
'Energy. Whatever I have must be some type of energy. Now to start searching.' He immediately ran off to the book cases as the librarian glared at him for running.
'Okay, look for any book that has energy in the title...Man, I wish I could use that clone thing Naruto has.' He sighed and got to work on his search for a book.
He searched for at least two hours without any luck. If he did find anything with energy in the title, it was something about yoga, and he didn't have much of a need for yoga books.
As he walked along an aisle, he bumped into someone causing a book to fall to the ground. "Hey, what where you're going jerk!"
He looked at the guy who he bumped into, and saw that he was the same height age as him. He had spiky red hair and blue eyes with pale skin. He wore his genin headband around his kneck, along with a red zipped up Jacket and red shorts.
And there also seemed to be a pretty black hair girl accompanying him. She wore her headband normally, with a long sleeve black shirt and a blue sleeveless jacket, and black pants.
Cress rubbed his head and picked up the book that dropped. "Hey, you obviously weren't paying attention either you jerk!"
A vein popped out of the red head's forhead ad the two got into each other's face.
"Uh, guys." The girl said, they looked at her and then looked to the pissed of librarian.
"Out, now!" She grabbed the three genin and tossed them out of the library. "You are all banned for a week!" She closed the door and locked it.
Cress got up and dusted himself off. He picked up the book he got tossed out with and turned to the other two.
"I'll get my payback, taily." The red head stormed off and the girl sighed.
"Sorry about that, see you around." She followed after him in a hurry.
Cress flicked the guy off internally and made his way back to his apartment.
He sat down on the bed and starred at the book. "Guess it wasn't there's or they would have taken it back." He looked over the title and his eyes widened a bit.
"Well what do you know, Ki energy origins and use. This might be exactly what I'm looking for." He mumbled to himself and opened the book up.
Ki is an ancient energy, it has existed as long as man has. No one knows where it comes from, but what some of us do know, that if harnessed and utilized correctly, the user is a force to be wrecken with.
Everyon use to have Ki, but that was before chakra came to be. Chakra replaced almost everyone's ki, leaving ki to slowly be forgotten about.
Cress couldn't take his eyes off the book, and all the information that it held. He knew he expected something from the book, but not this. This was something else.
He shook his head and went to the contents of the book.
When it comes to what one can do when they possessed ki, it is a lot. A ki user has the ability create a numerous amount of energy attacks, in the form of orbs, beams, and even weapons. Als-
And that's where the book ended. The rest of the pages where just blank, no type of writing was on the rest.
If he wasn't to focused on the information he had at the moment, he would be angry.
He sighed and put the book under the bed, then stared up at the ceiling. "I'll think about all of this in the morning. Might as well get some sleep at the moment. Long day ahead of me."
The Saiyan boy closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Cress yawned as he stretched his arms. He was walking down the street early in the morning, making his way to the training ground. His excitement wouldn't let him sleep in, not today.
He rubbed his head, wondering how exactly he would know who is sensei was, along with his team members.
"Why the hell are we out here this early anyway!" He stopped when he heard a somewhat familiar voice yell. He made his way over to the voices and saw three people.
The readhead and the girl from yesterday, plus an older male in the jounin attire. He had long spiky hair that went down to his back.
He was going to answer the boy, but saw Cress and pointed to him. "That's why we're here." The two genin turned and the redhead instantly flared up.
"What's he doing here!?"" The girl went ahead and flicked the back of his head. "You actually think that the Hokage would allow just a three man team when all tems consist of four people?"
Cress snickered at him which earned him a glare from the readhead.
The older man sat on a stump and pointed to the log in from of him. "Alright, kiddies. Introduction time. Everyone sit your butts down on that log." All three genin made their way over to the log and sat down.
The jounin clapped his hands and smiled. "Alright, I'll start. My name is Horun, and I like breaking little genin down into respectable, powerful Ninja. Red head boy, your turn."
The red head rolled his eyes. "You know my name, but fine. I'm Renka Ishita, and I fighting."
The girl needing no current, gave her introdcution. "My name is Yari Gejim, and I like practicing medical ninjutsu. I preferably like practicing it by beating annoying red head's into a pulp and healing them." She said with a small little grin.
Cress figured it was his turned and rubbed his head. "I'm Cress Uzumaki, and I like fighting, and eating food."
"See, we now all know each other. But before we officially become a team, we must go through a test." A groan was heard from both boys of the team.
Yari rolled her eyes. "Come on test aren't that bad."
Hirun saw the boys expression and put his hand in the air. "Fear not, it is not written, it is more of a combat and intelligence gathering test."
Renka and Cress both cheered up, but were cut off from saying anything from the female of the group.
"Then what exactly are we supposed to do."
"Well, I'm going to put you all in a scenario. You are all together and receive an anonymous tip, that someone in the group is a trailer. Yesterday I wrote the mark of a traitor on one of you three, your job is to incapacitate the traitor and reveal the mark. Good luck.' With a puff the sensei dissappeared.
Cress and Renka stood across from each other, doing nothing, but staring at one another.
"Will you two just calm down, so we can figure this out logically."
Renka pointed at Cress and shook his head. "He wasn't with us the whole day yesterday, it's gotta be him."
Cress snorted in reply. "Unless you two live together, it could be you as well! Slow eeadhead!"
Renka puts his hands together and started to form handsigns. "That's it, burnt monkey is on the menu for breakfast! Fire style: Dragon's breath jutsu!" Out of his mouth came a spew of flames that flew towards Cress who barely dodged it.
Yari sighed and just sat back down on the log. "Fine go ahead and fight, if no one wants to listen to me. At least this fight will be entertaining."
Going on the offensive, Cress dashed to Renka tossing a punch at him, but it got blocked by a forearm. He kicked at the redhead's legs causing him to jump, and Cress being able to land a stomach blow.
The Saiyan let out a laugh. "You need to work on your taijutsu." Renka grunted as he got back up to his feet
He pulled out some shuriken and tossed them at Cress, causing him to immediately saw a knee coming towards his face and tried to grab it, but it just went through him.
"Over here loser, Dragon's breath jutsu." The spew of fire stacked into his side, tossing him against the tree. Renka didn't let up and ran over to him, jumping up and kicking at his head.
Cress dogged the kick and elbowed Renka mid air, but it turned out to be another clone. Renka jumped into the air and sent his fist down at Cress.
Cress somehow sensed something above him and rolled out of the way as Renka landed. Before Renka could do anything else, he was met with a boot to the side of his face sending him tumbling.
"Not going to fall for that again." Cress got into a fighting stance as Renka got back to his feet.
"Doesn't change the fact that you're going to get beat." Renka got into his own fighting stance with a smirk on his face.
Cress had a similar one on his face, he simply never could control his love for a good battle, whether it was real or just a sparr.
After a silent moment the two simultaneously dashed towards each other. They boy tossed punches that connected with each other. Cress ended the fist struggle and spun so his side was facing Renka. He tossed an elbow at the fire user, who flipped over his opponent.
Following up, Renka tossed a kick that hit the side of Cress's face, making the boy stumble, but quickly he retaliated with an upper cut to Renka's chin.
The two genin began exchanging blows, hits landing one after another before they jumped away from each other. "I'll end this right now." Renka began forming handsigns for another jutsu.
'Time to use some Ki. But all I know is that damn ki ball. Guess it'll do.' Cress formed a ki ball in his hand and charged Renka.
He was surprised about what Cress just made, but didn't let that stop him.
"Dragon's Breath jutsu!"
"Take this!"
The two yelled, as the fire came out, Cress smashed the ki into it, causing an explosion that blew the two young Shinobi.
The two where lieing on the fire with the upper part of their clothing burnt off.
Yari walked over to her fallen teammates and nudged their bodies with her feet. "You two wanna listen to me know?"
Cress tried to get up, but just laid back down after groaing in pain a bit. "As long as you heal us after." He groaned. Renka put a hand up. "I second that."
She giggled a bit and sat back down. "This is a test first of all. Why would we just suddenly get an anonymous tip from a random person, that says one of our members is a traitor? Why would we just trust this person no one knows. We can't find a traitor if there isn't one."
Soon realization clicked into the two hot headed boys head's. "Ohhhhhh." They said together.
"A test of faith in our teammates."
Suddenly Hirun sensei appeared out of nowhere. "Finnaly you figure it out, it took you all a while. Good job, even though it was mostly Yari. You all pass. We are officially team 23." He said proudly.
All he got was one sarcastic yay, and two painful cools. "Meet here tommorow we will start your training and missions." Once again, like a majestic cloud, he poofed away.
And with that the day ended for our hero and his friends. Who knows what will happen in our next installment. See ya next time.
