For further chapters I am going to be switching Points of Views, POV, so I can get in with what the character is thinking. Don't worry I will always tell you what POV we are in.

Enjoy!

Chapter 4- Ninja Way!

(Heba's POV)

Yugi and I woke up early that day, rising with the sun. We had wanted to get to the Hokage's house early so that we could figure out what we were going to do the rest of the day to prepare, as Ninjas. I will admit when I woke up, I was still shocked to be here still. I was really hoping what happened yesterday was just a dream

Yugi had made breakfast and we sat at the table while we talked about what happened yesterday.

"Yugi, what you said yesterday to those hot heads teacher, I have a feeling I know what it is that is holding them back." I commented as he took a bite of his eggs. Judging by the way they treated their own teammate and us, who they never met, I had a feeling that it was team work that was holding them back. Since team work was the most important thing to a Ninja.

"I know what it is. You saw the way they treated Joey right? There own team mate." He shook his head and I knew in that moment that I was right. A smile formed onto my lips and I shook my head.

"Those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum." I quoted and Yugi laughed.

"Kakashi Sensei, who would have thought you, would quote the pervert."

"He was right though. Without working together, you are destined to fail. Teamwork is the most vital thing to a ninja because they have to be able to put their lives in the hands of others, their teammates. If you can't trust your teammates, can't treat them with respect, you may as well not be a ninja."

Yugi blinked and stared at me in shock before smiling slightly and nodding his head in agreement. We took our pates to the sink and cleaned them before changing into what we had decided to use as our ninja outfits. Mine consisted of a pair of knee length black shorts, a fish next long sleeve shirt with a back shirt and a black vest over it that both stopped right before my stomach, and finally the standard ninja shoes that were black.

Once I was changed I walked out of the room and over to Yugi who was waiting by the door. I gave my brother a once over to see how he chose to dress. He was in a pair of spandex shorts that reached his knees, a black kimono like shirt that went to his mid-thighs with a slit on the sides, an amethyst ribbon tie around his waist, and finally the standard ninja shoes that were black.

"You look like a girl Yugi, why on earth did you chose a Kimono? It looks like a dress, isn't that what the girls where here pretty much?"

Yugi rolled his eyes at me and smiled. "No its not, and because it is really easy to move around in considering that it's so light. Look you are stronger and better in observing your surroundings where as I am better with speed and planning. And in this I can move around a lot easier."

"If you say so but I still think you look like a girl." I had to admit though it did look good on him and it didn't seem like to much of a dress especially with that fish next under the kimono. It looked more like a cover top, which is probably what he was using it for.

"Your top leaves the stomach uncovered; it could be an easy target so you better be careful."

I nodded in agreement to that and Yugi turned, opening the door and walking out. He closed it behind us and locked the door. We headed down the stairs and to the Hokage building that wasn't very far from us, I had also noticed it was right in front of the monument and next to the Academy.

We walked past the Academy and reached the Hokage tower. The ninja at the door opened it for us and Yugi and I walked inside. The constant stares we got from Jounin and Special Jounin were a little unnerving.

We soon reached the red door that lead to the Hokage's office and once again, I knocked. It wasn't long before Sarutobi's voice gave us the permission we needed. "Enter."

I opened the door and Yugi and I walked inside, closing the door behind us. We walked to the center of the room and Yugi bowed to the old man. I arched a brow at him but followed suit, doing the same thing before straightening back up.

The old man was not alone again. He was with the pineapple head guy whose name was Iruka if I remember correctly, the porn freak Kakashi and… was that man in a full body spandex suit!? I openly stared at him, a little wearied out. I searched my memory of the show and if I remembered right… his name was Guy Sensei and he had this mini look alike named Rock Lee.

"Heba, Yugi, good of you to come back. What can I do for you?" Sarutobi greeted making me snap my head back to him.

"Ah… Yugi and I were wondering if we could take you up on your offer to let us become Ninja of Konohagakure." I answered a little nervously. Kakashi's one eye widened before going back to his emotionless stare and Guy beamed, bright smile lighting up his face that made me shiver slightly.

"Oh look at this! A prime example of the power of youth! Oh how lovely it is to see kids these days wanting to do all they can to help their village! It is so unbelievably wonderful and you-"

"Please, sir, stop talking." I interrupted and Guy gapped at me while Kakashi's eye did that crescent moon shape thing again. I couldn't tell if it meant he was smiling or smirking. Damn I wished he would just not wear that stupid mask of his so I could see what the hell emotions he was feeling.

Sarutobi smiled and nodded his head. "Of course. But we will need someone to test you to see if you even have what it takes to become a ninja. Normally you would take the school's exam but considering how old you boys are, we will do it differently. First, we will give you a written exam to see if you know enough about the ninja world, then we will see if you can learn some basic fighting including ninjutsu, genjutsu, and Taijutsu."

Yugi and I nodded our head in agreement and Sarutobi looked over to Iruka. "Get the end of the year written test from last year Iruka. We will have them take it now, right here where I can watch them."

Iruka nodded and walked out of the room. I walked over to one of the couches and sat down as Yugi sat on the couch across from me. I ran through my head all of the Naruto trivia I knew and what Yugi had told me. Unlike Yugi I didn't know as much but I knew a lot, and enough to probably pass this with almost flying colors.

"Are you boys sure you can do this?"

I blinked and looked up to Sarutobi who seemed to have a worried look on his face. I hesitated for a moment before nodding my head. I did, I was sure I could pass this if given a chance. Yugi simply smiled brightly and nodded enthusiastically. "Don't count us out yet Hokage-Sama, we may very well surprise you."

Sarutobi smiled and shook his head, chuckling. "I never underestimate someone."

"It's an unwritten rule of a ninja." I mumbled causing everyone to look at me. "Never underestimate your opponent or a teammate, but never overestimate them either."

Sarutobi nodded and Guy beamed. I sensed he was about to go into another youth speech but we were saved from it by Iruka returning. Iruka placed the tests on the coffee table in front of us with pencils. I thanked him and he nodded before Sarutobi cleared the room so we could take the test in silence with only him to watch us.

"You boys may begin and take your time, there is no rush."

I flipped the test over and wrote my name at the top before scanning the test. It was a simple short answer and some multiple choice. The beginning was trivia about the village, and then it went into history about the nations and ended with vocabulary.

I nodded my head in acceptance and began.

Name the Hokage's in order. I rolled my eyes at the question but bit my bottom lip in thought. I knew a few of them, including the fact that Naruto's dad was one of them, the forth to be exact. I let out a long sigh before writing them down, hoping I would get their names right.

Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, Ts- I blinked and immediately started to erase the name. 'Yes let's give out information to the future on the test.' I mentally scolded myself before moving on to the next question.

Eventually I reached the last questions. I knew Yugi was already done but that didn't shock me, he did know this place like the back of his own hand. The test was pretty straight forward and I had confidence in my answers. The final part was easy, to explain the differences between Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Genjutsu.

Ninjutsu is the art of making hand seals and kneading chakra to perform a Jutsu. When you make the appropriate hand seal, your desired technique comes forth. Performing Ninjutsu techniques require full concentration and if interrupted, will not work. It only takes a few seconds to successfully execute a Ninjutsu technique; however some can take much longer. Ninjutsu is probably the most used attack type out of the three main categories.

Taijutsu is the hand to hand combat part of a ninjas' training. It deals with no hand seals and chakra is focused throughout the entire body.

Genjutsu techniques are mostly illusionary techniques. These techniques cause the opponent to hallucinate and make them see things that are not really there.

I closed the test and took it over to Sarutobi who took it with a smile on his face. I sat back down and Yugi walked over to me, sitting next to me on the couch.

"How did you think you did?" He asked quietly and I shrugged.

"Honestly? It wasn't that hard. I stumbled a bit on the history of the village but overall I think I did alright. You?" I asked looking over to my brother and he blushed lightly. That means he probably aced it. I laughed and shook my head, smiling at Yugi. "You aced it didn't you?"

Yugi blushed even more and shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows."

"I do."

We blinked and looked over to Sarutobi who was sitting with his hands once again folded in front of his mouth. "Yugi you did ace it. Heba you got a ninety-eight. Your scores are in the top rank and are close to those of a genius. I am honestly amazed at how people who are not of this realm got such high scores."

I swallowed thickly and quickly started to rack my brain for some sort of answer before he called in someone to torment the answers out of us. I thought back to yesterday and all the lessons Joey gave us on the family clans. "Uh we hung out with Joey Wheeler yesterday and he gave us a lot of background information. Some of the words on the test we have heard of before in our world." I was amazed at how easily I had been able to answer that confidently.

Sarutobi seemed to contemplate my answer for a moment before nodding his head in acceptance. "Joseph is a bright lad, he never actually shows it but when he does, he is a force to be reckoned with."

I nodded and laughed at that, he was extremely bright I was shocked about how easily the words rolled off his tongue about the clans. Sarutobi snapped his finger and a girl appeared out of nowhere. She was dressed in what I recognized as an ANBU uniform it consist of black clothing, a grey flak jacket, metal arm guards and gloves, ninja sandals with spikes, three ninja pouches on her back-waist and a signature spiral tattoo on her shoulder. Her mask appeared to have several spirals over the eyes and the forehead of the mask that looked like fire. I couldn't tell what animal it was though.

"Phoenix I need you to fetch me Mahad, I have some kids I want him to look at."

The girl nodded and vanished with a few simple hand sigh. A moment later she was back with the man from yesterday. Mahad looked to us before looking to Sarutobi as the ANBU vanished. "You wanted to see me Hokage Sama?"

Sarutobi nodded and motioned to us. "These boys want to become Ninja. I need you to find out there affinity and see if they have what it takes to become ninja. They passed the written exam with flying colors. There scores could have rivaled that of Yami and Atem's."

Mahad seemed stunned by that before he covered it up and nodded his head. "I will do my best Hokage-Sama." He turned to us and smiled motioning to follow him, before heading to the door. We followed behind him as he led us out of the tower and down the village.

"Where are we going Sensei?" Yugi asked and Mahad looked over to us.

"We are going to the training grounds in the forest. Yami, Atem and Joey are already there still training."

We nodded and I looked around. The feeling of being watched had once again returned and it was slightly unnerving. I wanted it to go away but I had a feeling that perhaps, it was the ANBU. If it was then it was probably because the Hokage what's to make sure that we were not a threat to the village, which would make sense.

"YUG! HEB!" I blinked from my thoughts and looked up as Joey and his dog Dragon ran over to us. "What are you doing here?"

I smiled and motioned to his sensei. "Mahad Sensei is going to see if we have what it takes to be ninja." I answered easily and Joey's draw dropped before Mahad walked over and snapped it closed with his hand.

"Joseph, have I not given you a task to do?"

Joey pouted but nodded his head and smiled to us before running off with Dragon. Mahad watched him go before turning to us and handing us each a piece of paper. "This paper will let you know what your affinity is. Now, do either of you know what an affinity is?"

My brother and I nodded. "Every person has chakra that has an affinity towards one of five types, Fire, Wind, Lighting, Earth, and Water. It is a characteristic that seems to be genetic, since whole clans sometimes share the same affinity, but it is not always." Yugi answered and I continued after him.

"To find out what affinity someone has, pieces of paper made from a special type of tree are used. They react to even the slightest hint of chakra, the reaction depends on the nature underlying in the chakra."

Mahad blinked but nodded his head. We seemed to have surprised him, I wondered why that was. It seemed like common knowledge to me. "Any way, you're going to have to feed your chakra into it. In order to do that just focus in the paper and concentrate on feeding a part of yourself into it. Just try and push all your energy into the paper."

Yugi and I looked to each other before looking to the paper in our hands. I let my eyes close and focused on the inner strength within me. It was a trick me and Yugi had learned in our martial arts class though we usually used it for mediation. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly, emptying my mind and concentrating all my energy on to the paper.

After a few moments I felt a warm bubbling feeling in my stomach. I opened my eyes as the feeling flowed through me and to my hand that held the paper. I focused on pushing that feeling from my hand to the paper and right before my eyes it ignited in fire. I turned my hand over as I opened it so that the paper continued to burn in my palm before turning to ash.

"Heba your affinity is fire." I blinked at the ash before looking up to Mahad who was staring at Yugi. I looked over to him and he was holding the paper upside down as it dripped with water. "And Yugi yours is water. Odd, you both are complete opposite of each other."

I knew Yugi and I were as different as night and day. He was gentle and understanding where I was fierce and quick to judge, he was calm and I was easily angered, he was a planner and I was an action taker. Now that I thought about it, the fact that I was fire and he was water made sense. "Yugi you're passionate like the water and I am aggressive like the fire. If we think about it we are as different as the two but fire and water have their similarities just like we do. Fire and Water can be calm one moment and then in the next, they can be rapid, violent."

Yugi smiled to me and nodded his head in agreement. "That was deep Heba, and perfectly true. And you are definitely hot headed like the fire."

I pouted at him causing him to laugh. I slow smile made its way onto my face at the laugh. Honestly since we came here, Yugi had seemed so much more alive and happy. I knew back home he was lonely since he didn't have any friends and Jii-chan was gone most of the time. And since coming here, we had met people who had already wanted to be friends with us, Yugi was finally getting out, having fun, meeting people. He seemed almost, free. I smiled even more at that, it was always what I wanted for him. To act his age to act like he was lively and hyper.

Mahad broke me out if my thoughts by talking again. "Yami's affinity is water as well and Atem's is fire. Both have decent control over there elements and know some Justus to do with them so when we get to that training point I will pair you with them, to see if they can get you to learn them."

'Just great, I so wanted to be taught by an over bearing hot headed idiot like that.' I scowled in my head but outside nodded and kept my face passive. Yugi looked a little nervous about the news; he always had less control over his emotions, kind of like Naruto.

"However were going to start with something simple today; Weapon practice." Mahad announced and I felt a sense of dread wash over me. Please, please Ra; don't let Yugi's bad aim get me killed.
