Chapter 69 - Genin Test TenTen, Karin, Ino (Rough Draft) (1/2)

-Later that day in the Leaf Village testing area-

”All ready you three?” The Hokage asked.

”Yes!” Karin and Ino said together. TenTen nodded. She reached into her pocket and grabbed her kunai. Each were dressed in basic ninja gear. No advanced ones like Kai usually provided for them. If they were going to do this, he wanted to see them at a handicap.

”You have your assignment from the proctor?”

”Yes. Proctor Anko gave us everything we needed.” TenTen said neutrally. She turned to Karin and Ino for confirmation. The other two gave a nod. ”We are ready to go.”

”Then go!” The Hokage said. All three girls rushed into the mountains. Hiruzen turned to the parents on the side and addressed the women. Kai had his full sight on the girls. ”It is not to late to stop them.”

”Ino is the most gifted our clan has produce in the last three generations. I will not stand in her way.” Inoichi said resolutely. His wife held his hand with a death grip. ”My sister said she is ready. As her teacher, she knows her best in the ninja way.”

”Karin won't let them try it without her. I rather not deal with that headache after, if I said no.” Kari said. She turned to Kai and waited if he would say anything. He did not. ”Besides they have trained with him for the longest as well. It must count for something.”

”As well as training with Kai's Genin squad. And a chunin squad. Let's not forget Kage ranked ninja as well.” Anko said. ”If they fail I am gonna kick their a.s.s.”

”Right...” Pakura added. She looked at Kai who still said nothing. Baby Arietta in his arms. 'He is constantly running chakra through her. I understand her immune system had dropped because of the poison used on her mother but when will it be enough?'

”She will be fine soon. Her older sister is doing great so.. time is all that is needed.” Kari told her as if reading her mind. ”He is just making sure every last bit of it is out. Dont worry so much.”

”To think I would see the day three young girls, would try the test togethor. Ahead of Academy graduation, a few years early should not be that bad.” Sakumo said. ”Lord Senju you have some intense training I take it?”

”Tad bit.” Kari answered. ”But the entire clan goes through it. As well as friends from other clans.”

-In the mountain-

”Ino take point!” Karin said. There foxes keeping pace with each of them. They were backup in this formation that kept them a little further apart. ”TenTen how many more traps ahead?”

”Tch, 57. They went overboard I swear!” TenTen grumbled. ”I have disabled most and sabotage the ones that take more than three minutes to disarm.” As she ran her hands were templed togethor.

With a flick of her wrist, the kunai went out towards an unusual stone formation. Attached to it was a paper bomb. Ino seeing it from Karin's signal changed there path about 90 degrees. A minute later things changed to a new level..

”Kaboom!” The paper bomb went off. The girls were long gone, but the hope was that it alerted whatever ninja teams were nearby.

”Fwoosh!” A team of genin appeared at the location. There Jonin captain right behind them. The Jonin was observing the area intensely.

'They couldnt have gotten far.' He thought to himself. He watched as his team checked over the traps that had been placed. Each doing it carefully and precise. ”Hmmm, they did pass through here? How can these ”special candidates” move so fast?”

”Taka sir,” a genin called to him. ”I think we have a problem.”

”Sching!” A given considering what happens next. Another genin that followed the normal checking method found himself dodging the activated mechanism. He only started looking it over when it happened.

”Swish, swish, swish!” Three projectiles fired out to pass the ninja.

”Wahh!” He screamed in shock. ”I didnt even start disabling it yet!'

”You sure about that?” Another squad member asked.

”Yeah, he didnt.” The third teammate said. ”Look at the dirt. It has changed some.”

”Could that be how it was tampered with? Who is that skilled of an earth user?” The second member asked.

”I dont know any as well.” There jonin leader Taka said. Right as he was about to speak again, the mountain start blowing up everywhere.

”Boom!” A small explosion went off.

”Kaboom!” A much bigger explosion went of sending several birds flying. Then a few deer could be seen running through the pass. This triggered more traps.

”Kaboom, kaboom!” Everything started to chain togethor resulting in the area turning into a small armageddon.

”What is going on?” A genin in the squad asked.

”Splash!” Out of the water, a few water clones appeared. A copy of Ino, Karin, and TenTen. ”Fwip, fwip, fwip!” Three stones launched from the clone's hands and targeted the bottom of the bridge. Each hitting the same location. A beam under gave way.

”Hup!” The team jumped but found out there chakra was gone.

”I am out of chakra!” A genin yelled. He then fainted. His teammates following suit afterward. There jonin teacher the only one left standing.

”What kind of techniques is this?” Covering himself after a scent passed through his nose, he found it was to late. ”Ugh, I cant move.” Next his c.h.e.s.t started to get heavy. 'A strong odorless poison!'

”Thump,” dropping to the ground his vision started to fade as the bridge was actually collapsing as well. Water completely enclosed the area in a dome before sinking. All that was left was a giant hole.

”Teacher Taka .. I am scared.” The second genin said as he tried to move. ”What is going on?”

”Fall back now!” Taka commanded. Voice laced with chakra to get them back in focus. His team already on the move. Dragging there one teammate. Taka stepped back and triggered a small disabled trap. There was a problem, however. It was disguised as having been disabled. ”Ahhh!” He screamed as a disabled trap activated.

”Spring!” A platform popped up launching him back towards the avalanche. Turning over in the air, Taka was no slouch as he feet caught against some rocks. In three jumps he was almost back to his team. Almost.

”Poof!” One of the rocks turned into a ninja. It was TenTen. She gave him a look before smirking. A single thread left her hand as she pulled a scroll off the man.

”Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!” A blast of wind sent Taka back into the thick of it. ”Thanks, bye-bye!” With a kick to the falling rocks, she shot off. To catch up with the others.

”Fwoosh!” An Anbu ninja grabbed him before a rock crushed him. The Anbu then left them. They were now disqualified since he was saved. Having been carried back to his team he looked at there disgruntled faces. ”Hehe have no excuse.”

”That is not the problem. That is.” A genin pointed behind them.

”By the first...” Taka said.

”Rumble!” The mountain collapsed as far as they could see. Not just small pieces but large chunks. A large dust cloud covered the entire area.

-With TenTen-

Karin had Ino stopped as they checked the area. All three focused on there surroundings. TenTen noticed them first do to the bloodl.u.s.t of one. Karin noticed the others. Two teams were headed towards them.

”Fwoosh,” TenTen threw two scroll's to Karin. She then walked to another exact copy of herself. With a touch, the two fused together.

”Hah getting easier and easier.” TenTen smiled. 'Gemini bloodline technique works great with Papa's technique. No wonder the Aburame wants them.'

”TenTen your up!” Karin said stepping back putting the scroll she just finished away. Creating a quick seal.

”Right. Taking command.” TenTen put her kunai on her wrist. Pulling out the handles on her side, she undid the seals. She now had two hand axes at the ready. Her fox companion already biting at the teeth. ”Easy no killing today. Just disabling. Maybe....”

”Plan?” Ino asked.

”Tag'em and bag'em,” TenTen said. She surprised them. ”Haa I know it would be easier just to beat the tar out of them. However.. it will be more difficult to keep them alive and captured. We still need to train and they are perfect test subjects to try capturing against.”
