Ghost was assigning teams and finally got to Soul's team. "Team 7! Soul Uchiha! Naruto Uzumaki! And Aimi Kuruma!"
Soul and Naruto looked at each other and smiled. Soul looked around for Kurama, and found her looking at him. Inside her mindscape she was fistpumping, though he was oblivious. She nodded to him and looked back at the teacher. Good, not that bad a team. Despite Naruto's horrible grades, he had an insane amount of chakra, if he trained correctly he could truly become powerful. Aimi was well-known for her impressive genjutsu skills as well. He looked around again and saw Sasuke looking at him, But not in his usual face of annoyance. You see, he had changed over the years. He learned how annoying he was being and changed into a rather agreeable person, but when it came to Itachi, he turned back into how he used to be. He looked at him, almost as if he wished they were in the same team. "Team Six! Sasuke Uchiha! Sakura Haruno! And Akio Chinoike!"
Sakura was jumping in the air happily as Sasuke face palmed. He didn't really like Haruno. Akio sighed, a slight flash of the ketsuryugan appearing in his eyes. He was another prodigy, though he was not as powerful Itachi, only being about as good as Sasuke, maybe a little worse. Soul's team headed out to their training ground, waiting for their teacher. While they waited Soul practiced the speed of his hand seals for his favorite jutsu. [Katon: Kuro Endan] and black flames spouted out of his mouth, and everything that touched it instantly turned to ashes. This flame was virtually equal to the flames of Amaterasu, besides the fact that this flame could be extinguished. That was when Kakashi decided to appear. Of course, he didn't see the flames themselves but did notice the ashes of trees in their immediate area. Ha nodded to himself, looking down at the three genin in front of him. "Sensei, what took you so long?" Naruto said, squinting.
"I got lost on the roads of life. And I saw a black cat, so I had to take the long way round." Kakashi responded, doing a weird eye smile.
Naruto grunted and said "Whatever. Let's start the training already."
Kakashi nodded, "Alright." He held out two bells, "All you have to do is take these before the sun sets, in a few hours."
Kakashi disappeared, the word "start" was floating in the wind somehow. Naruto glanced around, seeing Kakashi standing near a river of water. He smiled to himself and rushed him, throwing shuriken. Soul rolled his eyes and shunshinned out of there. Kakashi saw Naruto coming out of the corner of his eye and prepared for an attack. Naruto summoned a shadow clone and used it to launch himself forward. Kakashi was surprised, being forced to use a substitution jutsu. Naruto slammed into the log, not ready for something like that. He flew forward a little more and then fell into the river. Soul smirked. Still not the best ninja I see. And threw a few kunai, hoping to catch Kakashi off guard. Kakashi simply blocked them, not even looking up from the book he was reading, called Icha Icha. Soul used that moment while he was blocking to shunshin behind him. Kakashi heard the sound of a bell and narrowed his eye. He turned around to find Soul holding a bell, smirking. Kakashi laughed, "Sorry, but that's a fake." and disappeared.
Soul looked at the bell, discovering the paper bomb. Soul quickly dropped it and rushed out of the way. He smiled to himself, knowing what to do next. Meanwhile, Aimi was debating her style of attack, unsure of the best way to shook her head and suddenly felt a kunai to her throat. She saw Kakashi out of the corner of her eye and scowled. "Found… You…" Kakashi said, doing that creepy eye smile again.
She whelped and performed the Ram hand seal, capturing Kakashi in a genjutsu. Sadly for her, he was a professional when it came to this. He broke out of the genjutsu and saw Soul standing with a bell in front of him, instead of Aimi. "Never look an Uchiha in the eye. Did you forget?" Soul said.
"You have the Sharingan? Argh, of course you do. You are free to do whatever you want till this ends." Kakashi said, scowling at himself for making such a mistake.
Soul nodded and walked away. Naruto was lying on the grass, thinking of the best way to engage, but the only thing that came to mind was rushing Kakashi again. He saw Soul out of the corner of his eye and looked at him. "Here's a bell for you." Soul said, handing it over.
"Really? You worked so hard to earn it..." Naruto said, confused.
Soul held out another bell, smirking. "Kakashi looked an Uchiha in the eyes twice. After I got the first bell I casted another genjutsu and took the other, while making him think he was seeing me walk away." He replied, handing Naruto the bell. "Now to find Aimi and tell her the news…"
Soul quickly shunshinned out of there and found her lying in the bushes. He got next to her and said "We have the bells. Sorry but, it was only enough for me and Naruto. I think I know a way to help you though."
WIthin Aimi's mindscape she was glad Soul was talking to her. But in the real world she looked devastated that she didn't get any bells. She nodded slowly. Kakashi looked at his bell. Wait… this isn't my bell… In the bell he could see a slip of paper. He took it out and it said that Soul was sorry for tricking him. He had both both. Kakashi facepalmed. He walked over to Soul and said "The first person to ever pass my bell test… He even went ahead and got one for his teammate. Interesting." Kakashi looked at Aimi "But you… I think I know what I will do."
A few minutes later Aimi was tied to a post, dumbfounded. Kakashi took out two lunch boxes and gave one to me and Naruto. "Don't feed Aimi, this her punishment for her failure. Feed her, and you get expelled."
Kakashi walked away, claiming to go get himself something to eat. Aimi's stomach growled, watching as Soul and Naruto ate. Soul glanced at her and sighed. "Take this…" He said, lifting it up for her. "I took one for Naruto instead of fairly giving one to whoever deserved it. I didn't even think about you until I gave Naruto the bell. I feel guilty, so take it."
"My hands are tied… You will have to feed me." Aimi said, smiling.
Soul grunted like a true Uchiha and fed her. Within Aimi's mindscape she was dancing like there was no tomorrow. She heard a voice, calm and soothing. "I see you like this boy…" Matatabi said.
"Oh, shut up! You like him too!" Aimi responded, blushing.
Matatabi chuckled, "His strength is formidable. If you can make him like you, it would be useful."
"Yeah, yeah." Aimi said, sarcastically.
Aimi ate happily from Soul's lunchbox, her stomach's growling ceased. The sky started to turn gray with thunderclouds, and thick fog appearing around them. Soul sighed and activated the Sharingan. Kakashi was standing in the fog, smiling. He suddenly lunged out, poking his head out. He snarled "You dare disobey me? That's it, you all..."
They all stared at him in disbelief. "Pass!" He said, doing that weird eye smile.
"What?" The current genin said, confused.
"Remember these words, and remember them well. Those who disobey the rules are scum." He said, staring down at them, "But those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum."
The genin looked at each other and smiled. Soul quickly stood up and cut off Aimi's bindings. "Meet here tomorrow and we will start debating each of your skills." Kakashi said.
He walked away, and Soul nodded his goodbyes and went home. Aimi looked at Naruto and said "Kakashi did a good job tricking us, didn't he?"
Naruto nodded, "Guess he isn't Jounin for nothing…"
"Well see ya." Aimi said, leaving.
Naruto waved and laid down on his back. "What now?"
Yo! Phew, time to rest these fingers... Anyway, keep Aimi in mind, she gonna have a pretty big impact in the story. What will she do? Read on to find out (Maniacal laughter)
