Hello once again everyone. Sorry I have been absent for so long. I have had some medical problems and just had surgery on the 15th and haven't really had time to update. But now that I'm back, let's get into the chapter. This chapter will have the bell test, a meeting for Naruto's girls and hopefully the start of the wave arc. Anyways, let's get on with the story.
Naruto, Hinata, and 'Sasuke' were on their way to get something to eat until they had to be back to meet with their sensei. The group of three were heading to Ichiraku's Ramen to get some food and talk with the Ichiraku duo as Naruto hadn't been around in a few days. As the three ninjas started to enter the ramen shop, they were stopped by a familiar voice.
"What are you three doing out of the academy so early?" a female voice asked as the group turned around.
"Koharu-baa-chan." The three said as they each moved to hug the elderly woman. "We were just going to get something to eat while we wait for Shisui-sensei to meet with us. Would you like to join us?" Naruto asked the woman who was like a grandmother to the three of them.
"I would like to Naruto-kun, but I am currently on my way to another council meeting, maybe next time though. Congratulations on passing the academy and becoming genin you three. I expect great things from you all and you better watch over these two young ladies Naruto-kun." Koharu said getting a nod from the blond as she was one of the few to know Sasuke's true identity.
After receiving another round of hugs from the three genin, Koharu turned and continued on her way to the council meeting. After she was gone, the three kids made their way into the ramen shop in order to eat before meeting with Shisui.

Naruto, Hinata, and 'Sasuke' sat in the back corner of the classroom as they waited for Shisui. All the teams had been back for about ten minutes now and were all still waiting. After another five minutes, a kunai flew through an open window and landed in front 'Sasuke' with a note attached. She took the note and read it before looking to her two teammates.
"Sensei is on the roof and wants us to meet him there." 'Sasuke' said getting nods from the Uzumaki and Hyuuga. The three waved to Ino before they disappeared in a swirl of leaves shocking those remaining in the room except for Ino.
Arriving on the roof, the three genin found Shisui leaning against the they walked over to the older Uchiha, he opened his eyes and looked to the three with a smile. "First off, congrats on becoming genin." Shisui said causing the three to smile and nods their heads in thanks. "Second off, you're not genin just yet." Shisui finished with a smirk seeing their confused faces.
"What do you mean Shisui-sensei?" Hinata asked.
"After Iruka announced your teams and you meet your sensei, you are supposed to introduce yourselves to your team and state things like your likes, dislikes, hobbies, and dreams for the future. However, since we already know each other from all the times you guys hung in the Uchiha compound with Satsuki, there is really no need for that. Then I tell you about your true genin test." Shisui explained getting more looks of confusion.
"The genin exams in the academy are only meant to show those who have the possibility of becoming genin. The jonin instructors will then give you another test to see if they believe you will make it as genin." Shisui said before Naruto spoke up.
"If that's the case, then shouldn't you already know we have what it takes?" Naruto asked.
"Sorry Naruto, this is Hokage-sama orders. All jonin sensei are required to do this test with their teams. This test has a sixty-six percent fail rate, meaning that out of the nine teams that passed to this point, only three will become an actual genin squad." Shisui finished explaining getting looks of shock from the three genin in front of him.
"So when do we take this test?" Satsuki asked the older Uchiha.
"I will give it to you guys tomorrow. Be at training ground seven at seven a.m. sharp." Shisui told them getting nods from the three. "One more thing before you all go, Hokage-sama wants all the new genin to have one of these and to go to the anbu headquarters every three months to update them with the new entries." Shisui explained while handing each of them a bingo book before he disappeared.
"Kit, bring your teammates and young Ino over to your place tonight. We want you to introduce us to them and the four of us have something we want to give you four." Karumi said through their mental link.
"Are you sure about this Karumi-chan? I don't want them thinking I'm a freak or anything. I know they ain't like some of the others but you never know." Naruto replied.
"It will be fine Naruto-kun, trust us ok." Hoshimi replied to the blond getting a mental nod back in response.
"Naruto-kun, are you ok?" Hinata asked as she shook the blonde's shoulder snapping Naruto out of his talk.
"Yeah, sorry Hinata-chan. I guess I spaced out for a minute. If you two ain't busy later, can you bring Ino-chan and stop by my place for a bit. There's something I want to tell you three." Naruto told his teammates getting nods in return.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Satsuki asked getting a nod and a smile from the blond as the three left the roof.

After Naruto and his teammates left the academy rooftop, Naruto headed for the hokage tower. He wanted to ask the old man if it was alright for him to tell Satsuki, Ino, and Hinata about his sealed friends before he actually revealed anything. He knew the kage would more than likely allow him to do so as long as the three girls didn't reveal it to anyone else. Making to the kage tower, the blond landed on the side of the building before walking towards the top. He made it to Hiruzen's office window, only to find his grandfather reading a little orange book.
"You know jiji, you should find something better to do with your time." Naruto said shocking the man as he stepped through the open window.
"I'll do what I enjoy Naruto-kun, and you do what you enjoy. What can I help you with tonight?" Hiruzen asked as the blond sat down in front of him.
"Karumi and the others want me to tell Ino, Satsuki, and Hinata about them being sealed within me. They also said they have a surprise for us becoming genin today and want to give it to us later after I tell them the truth." Naruto explained waiting for the Sarutobi to answer him.
"Very well Naruto-kun, you can tell them but they must not repeat any of what you tell them to anyone else. Your friends have helped you through some hard times and I have no reason not to trust them." Hiruzen replied getting a small smile from the Uzumaki.
"Thanks jiji, and I'll make sure they know not to say anything." Naruto said as he gave the old man a hug before heading back towards his place.

Naruto had just finished getting himself something to eat when he heard his door open and the girls let themselves in. Naruto walked into the living room area and smiled as each of the girls gave the blond a hug. Naruto led the three back into the kitchen and the four sat down around the table as they waited to figure out what Naruto had called them over for.
"There are somethings I need to tell you three, but before I can tell you all, I need you to promise that you won't speak about this to anyone other than me, jiji, and Gaia-chan. It is an ss-class secret and can't be revealed to anyone else at all." Naruto said in all seriousness. Naruto was never like this unless it was something extremely important to him.
After receiving a nod from the three girls, he asked them to each holds hands and to clear their minds. As the girls followed his orders, the four genin were pulled into Naruto's mindscape. Ino, Hinata, and Satsuki opened their eyes to find themselves standing on top of a mountain overlooking a valley that had a large two story house in the middle surrounded by a lake with the ground being covered by grass, trees, and other various plants and animals.
The three turned to Naruto before Satsuki spoke. "Where are we Naruto-kun?"
"This is my mindscape girls, I brought you here to meet some of my friends." Naruto replied.
The girls started to ask what he meant, but was silenced as they felt the ground shake and a loud roar echo through the sky. The three looked around for the sound until they saw three large figures coming running across the land at them and a fourth flying through the air. The four large creatures stopped as they reached the four kids before two more figures jumped off the back of the large wolf and the four creatures took on a human appearance.
"You all know of the two swords I use right?" Naruto asked getting nods from the shocked girls. "Well, this is Benihime and Zangetsu, the spirits of my two blades. Benihime was wielded by my mother and Zangetsu was wielded by my father before they died." Naruto explained as the three looked to him.
"But I thought you didn't know your parents Naruto-kun." Ino said as Naruto nodded before explaining.
"I learned who my parents were when I was five from these four here." Naruto said motioning towards the four tailed beasts. "My mother was Kushina Uzumaki-Uchiha, daughter of Madara Uchiha, and the Red Death of Konoha. My father was Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash of Konoha or the fourth hokage." Naruto explained shocking the three even further.
"So you are the son of our village's greatest hokage and the clan heir to one of the greatest clans that ever existed." Hinata added in as she processed what she had just leaned.
"But if that's true, then why does no one know any of this? Why does part of the village hate you Naruto-kun?" Satsuki asked.
"Part of that would be because of me and the other part would be because your hokage wanted Naruto to live a normal life for as long as possible." Karumi started explaining causing all eyes to fall on her. "My name is Karumi and I am the nine tailed fox. I was sealed into Naruto-kun by his father and mother on the day he was born when a rogue Uchiha ripped me from his mother and put me under a genjutsu and caused me to attack the village."
Karumi and Naruto went on to explain how the other tailed beasts ended up being sealed and what had happened since his birth. They explained how they had helped Naruto by healing him and teaching him how to do stuff that would be needed throughout his life. During this time, the three girls learned that the tailed beasts weren't as bad as everyone made them out to be and were happy that their Naruto-kun had someone looking out for him at all times.
"Now onto the second reason why we had Naruto-kun bring you all here tonight. The four of you graduated the academy today and we have no doubt that you all will pass your true genin exams. The four of us each have our own summoning contract that we would like you four to sign." Hisae started explaining till Hikari took over.
"For Naruto, Karumi would like you to sign the fox contract. For Satsuki, Hisae would like you to sign the dragon contract. Hoshimi would like for Ino to sign the wolf contract, and I would like for Hinata to sign my rabbit contract." Hikari finished as the four scrolls appeared before the four genin. The four kids had smiles on their faces as they bit their thumbs drawing blood, and sign the contracts.
"And one final thing, since Naruto-kun already has Benihime and Zangetsu, we wanted to give you three a weapon as well to use. They are yours to use to help you in your ninja careers and to protect those important to you all." Hoshimi explained as three weapons appeared in front of the three females.
In front of Satsuki, a metal pole appeared. The pole was about five feet long and was pitch black. At the top of the pole was a single red eye that seemed to stare into your very soul. A black, two and a half foot, curved blade was opposite the eye and had a razor sharp edge. "Yami no Akumu, Nightmare of Darkness." Satsuki quietly said to herself as she held the weapon.
In front of Hinata appeared a metal, snow white bow. At the tips of the curved ends were crescent moon shaped symbols. The bow had various designs of the moon at its different phases along the limbs of the bow. Beside the bow, was a quiver in the same bright white as the bow was colored with the same design. "Bow of Tsukuyomi." Hinata whispered looking over her new weapon.
In front of Ino appeared a dual set of weapons. Ino's weapons were a set of sais as the weapons landed in her hands. The first had light purple cloth wrapped around the handle, with the metal blade, and two curved prongs a deep black with a purple line running down the middle. The second sai was the same except with the colors flipped. "Hozuki and Torikabuto." Ino said with a smile. (Torikabuto means wolfsbane and Hozuki means nightshade if I'm not mistaking. Ino deals with flowers so why not name them after two of the more poisonous ones.)
"It will take you all some time, but train with your new weapons and master them. Use them to protect what you hold dear. It's getting late so why don't you all go on home and get ready for your test tomorrow." Karumi said getting nods and thanks from everyone before the kids left.

Back out in the real world, night time had come and now the moon and stars were out shining bright. Naruto looked to the three girls across from him as they each had a smile at gaining a summoning contract along with a weapon to help protect themselves and others. Naruto gathered his sealing supplies before he drew a small seal on each of the girl's wrists as they gave him questioning looks.
"These are storage seals and they will hold just as much as a regular storage scroll. This way you will always have your weapons with you if you ever need them." Naruto explained as he led the three to the door. "Now that you all know the truth about my heritage and my sealed friends, what do you all think of me?" Naruto asked. He highly doubted that they saw him any differently, but he just wanted to be sure.
"You are still the same knucklehead that we grew up with and enjoy being around Naruto-kun. Just because you have Karumi and the others sealed within you doesn't change how or what we think about you." Ino said as the Hinata and Satsuki nodded in agreement.
Naruto let a small smile grace his face before it was replaced by a slightly shocked looked and a blush. Each girl gave Naruto a hug and a kiss on the cheek before they opened the door and stepped out, and with a quick goodnight, they headed back towards their homes. Naruto made three seal less clones and sent them to follow the three just to be sure they made it home before he went and got ready to get some sleep.

Naruto, Hinata, and Satsuki stood in front of Shisui as they waited for the instructions to their test. Each of them had their own ideas of what the test could be and knew that no matter what it was, they would pass the test and become an official team. Shisui pulled two bells from his pocket and held them up to the genin.
"You three have till noon to get this two bells from me. Whichever one of you that doesn't get a bell will be sent back to the academy to start over." Shisui started explaining causing the three genin to give him determined looks. "Seems like they may have already figured it out. These three may just be the greatest team Konoha has seen since the legendary sannin." Shisui thought with a smirk.
"You will need to come at me with the intent to kill, or you will never even come close to passing this test. Your test starts now." Shisui finished as the three genin disappeared from sight.

In the surrounding forest, the three ninja met up and were trying to come up with a plan to beat their sensei. "We don't stand a chance against sensei alone. We will have to work together and find a way to get close enough to grab the bells." Naruto said as he kept his senses up just in case Shisui came after them.
"Hinata-chan is the best at close range so if we can get her close enough while keeping sensei distracted, she should be able to grab the bells. The only problem in getting her close enough to do so." Satsuki said.
"What about your shadow clones Naruto-kun? I can henge into you and your clones and move in towards sensei as you and Satsuki-chan cover me from a distance." Hinata said getting smiles and nods from her teammates as the three set out to enact that plan.
-XXX-
Shisui was still waiting in the same spot he started in. He knew his students had already figured it out and were working on some way of getting the bells. He could have hunted them down and stopped them but he was wanting to see what they could come up with for facing an opponent stronger than themselves. After about twenty minutes of waiting, he caught movement out of the corner of eyes and turned to face his students.
Naruto and about thirty clones burst forth out of the trees and ran for his sensei. The original Naruto stopped short of Shisui and allowed his clones to move in first. "So it's just Naruto right now which means the girls are probably lying in wait somewhere. Guess I'll play along for now." Shisui thought to himself as he pulled his tonto from his back and begun to defend himself from the clones.
Once the clones were cut down to about fifteen remaining, Naruto made more and had them rush in as well. Shisui, not wanting to deal with the clones anymore, channeled fire chakra through his blade setting it ablaze. "Uchiha style: fire ring." Shisui said as he spun himself in a circle destroying all but seven clones. "Gotta do better than just clones Naruto." Shisui said before he noticed Naruto's smirk.
The Naruto in front of him erupted in smoke proving to be just a shadow clone as Shisui heard a shout behind him. "Scream, Benihime!" Shisui turned to see a large red wave of chakra coming at him and used a shunshin to avoid being hit.
"So you have your mother's blade do you? That's quite impressive." Shisui said.
"How did you know this was my mother's blade?" Naruto asked.
"Your mother was my jonin sensei, so I saw her use the blade more than once." Shisui said getting a nod from Naruto. Naruto disappeared in a shunshin and Shisui quickly brought up his tanto to block the strike. As soon as the blades clashed, Naruto grabbed Shisui's free wrist.
"Now Satsuki-chan!" Naruto yelled causing Shisui's eyes to widen when he noticed a clone erupting in smoke to reveal Satsuki making hand signs. "Fire style: fire ball jutsu." A large fire ball was fired off towards her teammate and sensei. Naruto waited till the fire ball got closer before he let go and vanished in a shunshin.
"Did that get him?" Satsuki asked as Naruto landed beside her.
Before Naruto could answer, Shisui appeared a few feet from them with his tanto on fire. "Uchiha style: halo dance." Shisui swung his blade sending blades of fire flying at the two genin. Naruto jumped in front of Satsuki as he channeled wind chakra into Benihime. "Wind scar." Naruto launched a wave of wind at the fire blades and sliced right through them.
Naruto resealed his sword as he started making hand signs as Satsuki made her own set of hand signs. "Fire style: flame bomb/ wind style: great breakthrough." The two jutsu were released and combined creating a much large flame bomb that was fired at Shisui.
The jonin avoided the attack and turned to look back at the two other Uchiha only to see them smirking. Quickly turning around, he was met with another clone. What he noticed about this clone was that it was using the gentle fist. As he avoided each strike, he managed to land a hit on the clone that dispelled the henge to reveal Hinata as she continued on the attack. He brought his arms up to guard against Hinata's next attack but it never came. Dropping his arms slightly, he saw Naruto standing there with his arm pulled back. Naruto quickly reached out to grab the bells before pushing his hand forward and releasing his gale beast palm which shoved Shisui back.
Shisui stood up straight and looked at his three genin with a smile on his face. "So who gets the bells?"
Naruto handed the bells to Hinata and Satsuki who then threw them to Shisui. "We're a team sensei, pass or fail, we do it together." Satsuki said getting nods from Naruto and Hinata.
"Congratulations, we are now officially team seven."
-XXX-
It had been two months since team seven had started taking missions. Two months of d-rank missions, if you could even call them that. Naruto and his team had just returned Tora for what seemed like the fiftieth time that week. They were currently waiting on their next mission when an anbu agent landed next to the hokage and talked to him quietly for a few moments.
"Shisui, do you think your team is ready for a higher ranking mission?" Hiruzen asked causing the four to go serious all of a sudden.
"I do believe that they can handle a higher mission than d-rank, do you need something of us hokage-sama?" Shisui asked.
"Team ten is escorting a client back to wave country and it would seem he lied about the mission. Asuma and his team have decided to continue on with the mission as long as they have some back up. I would normally send some anbu for this but most of my agents are out on missions or need for Konoha's protection. Will you accept this mission and back up team ten?" asked the kage.
Shisui looked to his genin as they nodded and he looked back to his leader. "Of course hokage-sama."
"They left about three hours ago moving at civilian speed. You should be able to meet up with them before they reach the border if you leave shortly. I would suggest packing for at least a month." Replied the kage.
"You heard hokage-sama, pack for a month and meet and the village gates in ten minutes. Dismissed." Shisui said as the three nodded before leaving.
And there's the next chapter. Again I am really sorry for the late update just had a lot going on.
There is two things I would like to ask you all before I go. The first comes from me and thegodofanime, would you all like for Hinata to awaken tenseigan? Thegodofanime and myself were discussing this and decided to leave it up to the readers.
The second thing is this, I have been watching a lot of soul eater lately and I am really enjoying the anime and was thinking about having their weapons take on a human form like they do in soul eater, let me know what you all think about this.
Anyways that is all for now so leave a review and let me know what you think.
