4: Pass or Fail – Survival Test!
Suiren Uzumaki: The disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fangirl in pre-shippuden, and Naruto would have his father's smarts while keeping his mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them. I do, however, own Ryurama Senju, Yuki Senju nee Miran, Raika Miran (Senju), & the White Tiger Summoning Contract (A/N: If there is already a White Tiger Summoning Contract…then please ignore the last part). Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also, if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!
…My Line…
It was around 4 in the evening and squad 7 was still setting there waiting for their Jonin Sensei, will, not all of squad 7 was setting. Naruto kept looking out of the door every 5 minutes.
"He's late," Naruto pointed out.
'Thank you, Captain obvious,' Raika thought sarcastically.
"Naruto just sit down," Sakura told him.
"I don't want to," Naruto said as he looked back at her. "How come our teacher is the only one that's late? I'm ready to roll, ya know! The other groups already meet their new teacher's and took off on some adventure or something, and Iruka-Sensei is gone, too."
"We know ok," Sakura told him with her eyes closed that soon opened when we heard something being dragged on the floor. "Hey! What are you doing?" She walked over to him and placed her hands on her hips. "Naruto!"
Naruto smiled as he put a chalk broad eraser in between the door and the frame.
"That's what he gets for being late," he said as he jumped down from the chair. "Surprise!"
"You're asking for trouble," Sakura told him. "You know you shouldn't do that."
"CHA!" Inner Sakura yelled. "I love stuff like this!"
"Our teacher's a Jonin an elite ninja," Sasuke pointed out. "You think he'll fall for that?"
"Yeah, Sasuke's right," Sakura agreed. "Your so clueless Naruto."
It wasn't long till a gloved hand appeared on the door that was cracked open before opening it all the way and a silver head of hair appeared inside the doorway letting the eraser hit him on his head. Raika let out a sigh as everyone stared dumb founded that he fall for it while everyone, but Naruto who was laughing his head off.
"Hahaha," Naruto laughed. "I got him! I got him! He totally fell for it!"
"I'm so sorry Sensei," Sakura apologized. "I told him not to do it, but he wouldn't listen. I'll never do a thing like that."
"Perfect shot!" Inner Sakura cheered.
'He actually fell for it?' Sasuke thought. 'Is this guy really a Jonin?'
"Mmm…" the Jonin hummed. "How can I put this?" He put his left hand under his chin in thought. "My first impression of this group…you're a bunch of idiots."
Everyone' face fell as they fall into a doom glum mood though the hidden Senju just sat in the window sail with an indifferent face as she just look at silver hair male.
"I don't like you either, so I don't care what you say," she stated with a shrug.
...My Line...
Raika sat away from the other two, but next to Naruto as Kakashi lend on the railing with their arms crossed and Kakashi had a bored out of his mind expression not that the greenette could blame him. The setting arrangement were this, Raika and Naruto on the right, Sasuke in the middle, and Sakura on the left. Kakashi looked around at everyone.
"Alright why don't you introduce yourselves?" Kakashi asked. "One at a time."
"Introduce ourselves?" Sakura asked. "Well, what are we supposed to say?"
'And she's supposed to be smart,' Raika thought as she looked at Sakura with annoyances.
"Things you like, things you hate, dreams for the future, hobbies, things like that," Kakashi answered.
"Why don't you tell us stuff first?" Naruto asked. "I mean before we talk, tell us about you, so we can see how its suppose to work."
The Miran let out a sigh.
"Me?" the Jonin asked in a mock surprise while pointing at himself. "I'm Kakashi Hatake." The silver hair man folded his arms. "Things I like and things I hate…I don't feel like telling you. Dreams for the future…hm…I never thought about it. As for my hobbies, I have lots of hobbies."
"That was totally useless," Sakura whispered as Naruto nodded his head. "All he really told us was his name."
"Ok you turn," Kakashi stated. "You on the right you first."
"My name is Raika Miran," the greenette said. "Age 12, orphan, and I have started training to become a medical Kunoichi. My likes are training with Naruto or training alone, hanging with my friends, thunderstorms, swimming, and reading. What I dislike are bullies, Danzo Shimura, those obsess with fate, Danzo Shimura, the Konoha Civilian Council, Danzo Shimura, those that can't tell the difference between the scroll and kunai, Danzo Shimura, disgraces to the Kunoichi title…" She glared at the pinkette at that. "Danzo Shimura, those with sticks up their asses…" The glare then turned onto the Uchiha before she looked back at the Hatake, who sweatdropped. "And did I forget to mention that I really hate Danzo Shimura?" Naruto nodded every time that she mentioned Danzo as if he was agreeing with her while the rest of the group were sweatdropping. "My hobbies are training, hanging with my friends, swimming, and reading. And my dream for the future is to be a great medical Kunoichi like Tsunade Senju of the Sannin, become ANBU Commander, and to have a family of my own one day."
Kakashi looked highly amused, and a bit sadden.
'One girl not a fangirl,' he thought. 'YES!' The silver hair male turned to look at the next person. "Next."
"I'm the future Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki," the blonde said making Kakashi to flinch a bit. "Age 12, orphan, the only known Heir of Clan Uzumaki, and the Prankster King from Hell, ya know." Their unknown watcher snickered while Raika smirked. "My likes are training, hanging with my friends, Fuinjutsu, foxes, toads, and ramen." At the ramen part there was sweatdrops from the group. "What I dislike are bullies, Danzo Shimura, arrogant people, Danzo Shimura, those that dis the sacred art that is Fuinjutsu, Danzo Shimura, abandoning a comrade, Danzo Shimura, perverts, Danzo Shimura, my precious people being hurt, Danzo Shimura, a certain Uchiha..." At this the two boys glared at each other making the Hatake and Miran to sweatdrop while the masked Uchiha snickered quietly. "And did I forget to mention that I really don't like Danzo Shimura?"
"Death to Danzo Shimura," Raika agreed.
'What the hell did Danzo-sama do to earn the ire of two Genins?' the Hatake, the other two Genins, and the spy thought with sweatdrops.
"My hobbies are training hanging with my friends, pranking people, reading Fuinjutsu books, and eating different kinds of ramen," Naruto went on. "And my dream for the future is to be the greatest Hokage that the village has ever seen and surpass all the Hokage's that come before while getting my trademark goggles craved into my great stone face, ya know."
The Jonin really looked grief stricken now at how Naruto is acting.
"Put in that request after you become Hokage," Sasuke told him. "Besides they can't crave your eyes if you're wearing goggles."
"Well, they can crave them on top of my goggles, ya know," Naruto retorted hotly.
"But, then it'll look like your eyes are popping out," Raika told him with a giggle.
Even the Haruno giggled in good fun as she pictured that in her head.
'He's grown up in a very interesting way,' Kakashi thought. 'And is TO MUCH like Obito.' "Next."
He then looked at the other two.
"I'm Sakura Haruno," the girl said. "Age 13 and an only child. What I like…uh…I mean the person that I like is…uh…" She looked at the Uchiha boy, blushes and then giggles. "My hobby is…uh…" She looked back at the Uchiha boy, blushed again and giggled again. "My dream for the future is..."
Again, she looks at the Uchiha boy, blushes and then squeals with delight.
"And what do you hate?" Kakashi asked.
"Naruto and Raika!" she yelled.
"Feelings mutual pinky," the Miran stated as Naruto looked sadden at that.
'Girls her age are more interested in boys then in ninja training,' Kakashi thought. 'At least Raika isn't like that. Talk about small mercies.' "Last boy."
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha," the more emo looking boy said in a monotone. "Age 13, orphan, and Uchiha Heir. I don't particularly like anything, and I dislike everything." The Jonin sighed at that. "My hobby is training. My dream...no my ambition is to restore my clan and kill a certain someone."
Everything around them got every quiet as them all stared at him.
'Gee…Uh…I hope he doesn't mean me,' Naruto thought.
'Sasuke. Is. So. Hot,' thought Sakura.
'Uchihas.'
'Just as I thought,' Kakashi thought. "Good. You're each unique and have your own ideas. We'll have our first mission tomorrow."
"What kind of mission are we going to have?" Naruto asked.
"It's a task that the five of us will do together," Kakashi answered.
"What, what, what?" Naruto asked again.
"A Survival exercise," Kakashi answered again.
"Huh, a Survival exercise?" asked Naruto.
"I thought we were supposed to have a real mission, not more practice," Sakura pointed out. "We already did this stuff at the Academy that's how we got here."
"This isn't like your previous training," Kakashi told her.
"So…uh…so…uh…what kind of training is it then?" Naruto asked.
At that Kakashi started to laugh as they all looked at him.
"Hey!" Sakura called out. "Hold on? That's a normal question. What's so funny?"
The greenette looked at the pinkette in shock cause she had a habit of hitting Naruto if he so much as says hello to someone.
"Well if I told you the answer, you're not going to like it," Kakashi told her as he continued to laugh before sobering up fast. "Of the 30 graduates only 9 or 10 will be accepted as Genin the other 18 or 19 will be weeded out and sent back to the academy. In other words this is a make it or break it; pass or fail test and the chance you fail is at least 66%." Kakashi looked at their faces to see they were not happy, well, everyone, but Raika, who looked like it was old news to her. "See didn't I tell you that you wouldn't like it?"
"THAT'S CRAZY!" Naruto yelled. "WE WORK HARD TO GET HERE, YA KNOW! WHAT WAS THAT GRADUATION TEST FOR ANYWAYS!"
"Oh that?" Kakashi asked with false surprise. "That was just to select condensates who might became Genin or not."
"WHAT?!" Naruto yelled/asked.
"That's how it is," Kakashi told them. "I decided whether you pass or fail. Be at the descanted training grounds at 5 am and bring your ninja gear."
'Well, I'm not going to be weeded out,' Naruto thought. 'People are going to look up to me someday. I got to pass this test, ya know!'
'If I fail, I'll be separated from Sasuke,' Sakura thought. 'This is a trail of love.'
'This is going to be fun,' the greenette thought with a smirk.
"That's it your dismissed," Kakashi told them with a wave of his hand before looking back at them. "Oh, tomorrow you better skip breakfast or you'll puke."
Sakura and Naruto looked scared to death, but Sasuke who looked calm though Raika raised an eyebrow at him. It wasn't till Kakashi in a puff of smoke that the green hair 12-year-old stood up and turned to the other three.
"Well, I have somethings to take care off," she stated. "So, I'm leaving." The Miran started to walk off. "See you tomorrow, Naruto!"
"OKAY!" the blonde called back as he walked off as well.
...My Line...
At Training Ground 7, one could find, Raika looking around the place with her hands on her hips and a smirk in place before she nodded her head.
"You can come out now!" she called as she turned to where she felt her stalker's chakra.
"SO COOL!" the mask Uchiha yelled as he ran out. "Tobi was right! Miran-chan is a sensor!"
She giggled softly at that making Obito Uchiha to blush under his mask.
"Of course," the greenette said as she gave him a soft smile. "According to Lord Hokage I get that from my parental Grandfather…" The Miran then shrugged though she looked a little sad. "Whoever he was."
Obito knew, who her grandfather had been, but it wasn't his place to tell her.
"Amazing," he gashed before he then tilted his head. "Why is Miran-chan out here for though?" The green hair Genin had a serene smile that the Uchiha was kinda of scared of and a hell of lot turned on from. 'What the fuck, Obito?' He shook his head. 'Remember your plan to get to the Kyuubi.'
"Oh, nothing much," she answered. "Just booby trapping the training grounds for tomorrow." Dark wine-red eyes narrowed in thought and annoyance. "Now if only I can get Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto to work together then we'll be golden."
"So, huh, who is your Sensei?" he asked.
"Some guy name Kakashi Hatake," she answered with a wave of her hand before she turned a confused look onto him. "Why do you ask?" For the first time since he was Chunin and since the death of Rin Nohara, Obito felt fear and horror as he stiffen. "Tobi are you okay?"
"Huh?" he shook his head. "Yeah, Tobi is okay." Obito rubbed the back of his head. "Tobi was just surprised that such a famous Ninja would decide to teach Genin is all. Don't worry about Tobi." 'Damn it. If that bastard is her teacher than she is going to end up fucking dead before I can get the Kyuubi!'
Raika narrowed her eyes as she detected a lie in his tone and with the way his Chakra waiver for, but a moment.
"If you say so," the greenette said with a shrug having decided that it really wasn't any of her business. "Well, I have to get home and finished getting ready for tomorrow…"
The Uchiha nodded his head quickly.
"Okay," he agreed. "Tobi will Miran-chan some other time."
This got him an even softer smile from the hidden Senju Princess.
"Sure," she agreed with a nod. "See you then Tobi."
The mask Uchiha watched her leave the training grounds though he felt sad at not getting to talk to her more.
'Seriously!' he yelled in his own head. 'WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!? I love Rin while Raika Miran is my ticket to get not only the Kyuubi, but to also get back at Itachi for that promise! Get your head in the game, Obito.'
Obito shook his head before he left himself with every intention of watching the true Genin test the next day.
...My Line...
The next day, one could find Raika in the kitchen of her apartment making five bentos after having eaten a big breakfast. However after finishing the bentos, she had turned to look at the clock to see that she had time to make another six more before she had to get ready for the day. The greenette knew that sometimes, the Sandaime and his two teammates tend to skip breakfast sometimes even though they know not, too. And don't even eat lunch a good bit of the time, so the Miran got to work on new bentos which didn't take long as she left over from the first five. The hidden Senju, once again, looked at the clock before making three Shadow Clones and handed them the six bentos.
"Take those to Hiruzen-sensei, Koharu-sensei, and Homura-sensei," Raika ordered her clones.
"Right, boss!" they said while taking the boxes.
She watched as they left before going to her bedroom to get dressed.
...My Line...
The four would be Genins all walked into the training grounds at 5 am from three different directions though only Sasuke and Raika were wide awake.
"Morning," Sakura yawned.
"M-m-morning," Naruto stuttered as he yawned as well.
All four of them made themselves comfortable with Naruto falling asleep. However, once the sun further in the sky, and the Uzumaki woke up, the greenette pulled out three bentos.
"Here," she said as she held them out to her three teammates. "You'll need your strength today. After all a Ninja must never miss a meal for it could be their last." Raika then shrugged. "Besides Hatake was only bluffing about the whole puking. Better to puke then have no energy or strength."
"Uh…" the pinkette muttered before she shyly took the top bento. "Thank you." Sasuke took the second one with a nod of thanks while Naruto got the last one. "But, what about you?"
"I eat before I came here," the Miran answered as the other three started to eat. "Besides I'll just eat a food pill. They may not taste all that great, but they can fill one up."
The Haruno nodded her head in agreement at that before focusing on her food that tasted amazing. The hidden honorable granddaughter stretched before she moved off to the side and started to go through her Taijutsu katas as the three eat.
...My Line...
As the sun got even further into the sky, Raika felt her eyebrow twitch in annoyance with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura standing as far from her as possible.
"If that baka doesn't show up soon…" the greenette trailed off.
The other three shuddered as they had seen her revenge pranks in person, and it wasn't pretty either.
"Good morning, everyone," Kakashi greeted as he walked up them. "Ready for your first day?"
"Hey, your late!" Sakura and Naruto yelled.
"Well, you see, a black cat crossed my path, so I had to take the long way," the Hatake said.
Sakura and Naruto growled at him while Sasuke just looked annoyed, but it was the glare that Raika gave him that had him flinching back.
"Bullshit!" the Miran growled.
"Well, *Cough* let's get started," Kakashi stated before he looked at the greenette. "And language!" Raika rolled her eyes as he walked up to three stumps. "Here we go." He sat an alarm clock on a stump and sat it. "It's sat for noon. Your assignment is very simple." At this he pulled three bells out. "You just have to take these bells from me." He jingled them. "That's all there is to it." He throws them up and caught them. "If you can't get them by noon then you go without lunch." He then pointed at the stumps. "You'll be tied to one of these posts and you'll watch well I eat my lunch in front you."
'So that's why…" Sasuke's thought trailed off.
'He told us not to eat breakfast to make it harder on us,' Sakura's thoughts picked up Sasuke's.
'Thank you, Raika,' the three thought together.
All he got was a smirk from the Miran.
"So, we'll have to use teamwork, huh?" the hidden Senju asked making Kakashi's jaw to drop.
"That's exactly right," the 27-year-old Jonin agreed after he gave a cough to get over his shock taking the other three by surprise.
"But, what does that mean?" Naruto asked.
The two boys glared at each other again making the Haruno and Miran to sigh.
"It means that one of us won't a bell and is off the team," Sasuke answered.
"Wait! What?"
"Excellent observation," the Hatake stated.
"There's just one itsy bitsy problem," the greenette spoke up as she held her thumb and pointing finger a centimeter apart.
"Oh?" the Jonin said. "What is the problem?"
She placed her hands on her hips and gave him a deadpan look.
"This team hates each other," the green hair Genin point blank told him. "I mean, I can put aside my complete dislike for Sasuke and Sakura, but they won't do the same for Aniki and I." She then crossed her arms. "Sasuke has a superiority complex the size of Fire Country, Sakura is as useless as a sloth, I have a temper that make cold, hearted, emotionless men run away from me, and Naruto is...well, Naruto."
This got her a glare from the other two while said blonde just shrug as he knew that she was right.
Kakashi sweatdropped though he couldn't deny that what his green hair student said was the truth. He'll be very surprised if they managed to work together as a team just to pass this test, but at the same time he wouldn't be so surprised if they fail. The Hatake looked thoughtful for a moment as he gazed at the four would be Genin in front of him. However, it was then that Sakura caught onto something.
"Wait a minute?" she asked as her eyes widen. "There's four of us. How come there are only three bells?"
"Well, that way at least one of you would end up tied to a post and ultimately disqualified for failing to complete the mission," the Hatake answered. "That one gets sent back to the academy. Then again, all four of you could flunk out, too. You can use any weapons including shuriken. If you do not prepare to kill me then you won't be able to get a bell."
"Those weapons are too dangerous Sensei!" Sakura yelled out in alarm.
"Hahaha!" Naruto laughed. "Especially since you couldn't even dodge that eraser."
Kakashi looked at him with an annoyed look.
"Class clowns are usually the weakest links," the Hatake stated. "You can safely ignore them…lowest scores, losers." Kakashi then turned back the rest of them though the greenette was giving him a death glare. "When I say start then you may begin." Naruto went charging at Kakashi with a kunai at the ready, but in a blink of an eye the Jonin was right behind him after having twisted Naruto's arm around to where the kunai was pointing at the back of his neck as he had a hand on Naruto's head surprising everyone. Sasuke and Sakura stepped back away from him while Raika remained in her spot. "Don't be in such a hurry. I didn't even say start yet."
'He's so fast,' thought Sakura. 'I didn't even see it.'
'So, this is a Jonin,' thought Sasuke with a smirk.
"But you did come at me with the full intention of destroying me, so…" Kakashi stated as he let Naruto go. "How can I put this?" He gave us a one eye smile. "I'm really starting to like you guys. Get Ready and Start."
All of them jumped and hide in a tree, behind a tree or on the ground under a bush while all of them.
...My Line...
"Iruka, what did you want to see me about?" the Sandaime asked as he sat across from the Academy teacher. "I don't think that you merely came here to drink tea and chat with me, did you?"
"Naruto has been assigned to Squad 7," the Umino stated. "The Jonin in charge of that group...just how tough of a trainer is he?"
"Kakashi, you mean," the Sarutobi sighed. "You are concerned about him?"
"I am," Iruka answered. "I heard a rumor about his training methods." Hiruzen hummed as he then pulled out a book and handed it over to Iruka, who looked confused. "What's this?"
"All the trainees that has ever been assigned to him," the Hokage answered. "Those, who pass, and those, who fail.
"May I?" Iruka asked as he goes to open the book before his eyes widen in shock. "This...this is..."
...My Line...
The silver hair male looked around the training grounds for the Genin.
"A ninja must know how to conceal their movement's and hide effetely," the Jonin stated as he rubbed the back of his head when he couldn't see them. 'Well, they understand that much. They've hidden will and I can't feel Raika's charka. It would seem that she will train.' Kakashi looked ahead and got a bit of a surprised. "Huh?"
"You and me right now fair and square!" Naruto yelled. "Let's go!"
'Fool,' Sasuke thought.
"You know compared to the others you're a little…bit…weird," Kakashi told him in a bored tone.
"Oh yeah!" he yelled. "Well, the only thing weird here is your haircut!"
He started to run at Kakashi, but stopped when he saw Kakashi reached into his scroll pouch.
"What?"
"Shinobi battle technique part 1: Taijutsu; the physical part," Kakashi told him.
'Taijutsu is hand to hand,' thought Naruto. 'So why is he reaching for a weapon?'
Kakashi pulled from his scroll pouch a book titled 'Make Out Paradise' taking Naruto by surprised.
"What the?" he asked.
"What are you waiting for?" Kakashi asked him. "Make your move."
"But…I mean…" he tried to speak. "Why are you reading that book?"
"Why?" Kakashi asked in a surprised voice. "To find out what happens in the story of course. Don't let it bother you though. Anyways with your weak attacks it doesn't really matter if I'm reading or whatever."
"I'M GOING TO CRRRRUSH YOU!" Naruto yelled as he came at me with his fist raised.
However, Raika appeared in a body flicker to stand right in front of Kakashi along with Naruto and blocked the Hatake's view of the Uzumaki.
"Wait, Naruto!" she ordered.
The blonde stopped before he could accidentally hit her.
"You know that you are supposed to hide right?" the silver hair Jonin asked her with a raised eyebrow.
He got a death glare from the greenette that made him shiver at the chill that ran down his spin.
"Rai-chan?" the hidden male Senju asked confused.
…My Line…
'Huh?' thought Sakura. 'What is she doing?'
…My Line…
'Idiot,' the Uchiha thought. 'The both of them are idiots to stand in front of the Jonin like that.'
…My Line…
To the shock of Kakashi and the two watching, Raika used her right hand to cup her left with her thumb up before entire locking her fingers with them pointed up and then moved them to be even with her chest with the tips of her fingers a few inches from touching each other.
"Water Style: Water Wall!" the hidden Senju called out before she expelled the water from her mouth to block the Jonin's view.
She then grabbed Naruto and used the body flicker to get away out of the clearing. Kakashi blinked a bit in surprise before he then turned back to his book.
"Not bad," he said as he read. "I wonder where she learned to use water jutsus like that from?" He then shrugged. "Oh, well. Now where was I?"
...My Line...
"Where did she learn how to do that?" the Uchiha asked himself softly in anger.
…My Line…
'That must be against the rules?' thought Sakura. 'He's a Jonin. We can't possibly match his strength.'
…My Line…
"Raika?" Naruto asked as they moved through the trees. "What are you doing?"
"This test is about teamwork, Naruto," the greenette informed him as she looked over at him. "We need to go find Sasuke and Sakura."
"How?" the blonde asked.
Dark wine-red eyes sprinkled with mischief which showed that she was just as mischievous as Naruto.
…My Line…
"Kakashi's test maybe a bit more difficult than the others," the Sandaime said.
"A bit more difficult?" the Academy teacher asked in anger. "Not a single student has ever passed his test."
"That's true," Hiruzen agreed. "They all tried, but not one of them could live up to Kakashi's standards. They were all eliminated."
...My Line...
'We have to find Sasuke and Sakura,' Naruto thought as the two hidden Senjus jumped through the trees. 'Or we'll never pass Kakashi-sensei's test!'
The blonde then looked to the side where he could see the silver hair Jonin before his eyes widen in shock.
…My Line…
Sasuke's eyes widen when he thought that the Hatake let his guard down.
'He finally dropped his guard now's my chance.'
Sasuke throw shuriken and kunai at the red hair Uzumaki which hit her died on.
…My Line…
"He just got blasted by shuriken!" Naruto yelled. "Are you out of your mind Sasuke?! You went too far!"
'Something's not right,' the greenette thought with narrow eyes.
…My Line…
The Jonin fell sideways slowly only for him to turn into a log.
