Ishizu vs. Team 11

Next day 6.50 in the morning

Naruto, Hinata, and Ino were waiting for their Sensei to arrive.

All three of them ate breakfast as nobody told them not to do.

"So, what do you both think this test will be about Naruto? You know him more than we do," asked Ino.

Naruto looked serious: "Ishizu-Sensei never told me about a test being taken after graduation but I assume we will have to fight him.

He likes to fight and probably wants to see if we can work together."

"If sensei wants to fight we will do it together and we will defeat him. I am still a little mad about yesterday," said Hinata.

As those words left Hinata's mouth. Ishizu arrived at the training ground.

"Good, you are on time.

I will do the test like that: I will test you if you not only have the guts and techniques to face other ninjas but also your teamwork.

I guarantee it you will someday meet an opponent that you either can't face alone or not even with you all 3 together.

So it is best to work together, as not even the best Shinobi can face the power of teamwork.

Also, teamwork helps you stay alive. A teammate can decide in a life and death situation if you live or not.

Distrust in a team can be fatal so it is you work together or not. I do not allow something in the middle.

I will give you 30 minutes to hide in this forest. I hope you brought your equipment with you so use it and make it for me as hard as possible to reach you.

If I reach you, I will attack and your goal is to not get unconscious.

Time is unnecessary, understood?" explained Ishizu.

"Hai."

Ishizu smiled and held up his hand before throwing it down

"Now go."

30 min later.

Ishizu POV

'Ok time's up, let's see what they have up their sleeves.'

Walking into the forest, I was met with small ninja wires.

They were placed in different positions so the sun could shine on them, making them almost invisible.

'Good, a Genin wouldn't see them, and they are attached to kunai, so hitting them will discharge them.'

I made my way around the things as I heard underneath me a sound and not even looking I substitute myself with a block of wood. 'Using the strings as a distraction to lure one into the paper bomb trap, huh?

Still, it says nothing about teamwork.

Let's make it harder.'

Using my chakra, I feel them.

It was easy as feeling the chakra of Naruto was as easy as seeing a mountain in front of you.

'Found you.'

I dashed to where Naruto was, while many Trapps were activated. Using my reflexes, I dodged.

'A Chunin would die if he dashed like me but I am far more experienced.'

It was after a few seconds I was met with 10 Shadow Clones of Naruto. They charged at me from all directions and tried to fight me in Taijutsu. It was easy to defeat them as Naruto wasn't trained in combat by me much and he was only around high Genin.

The smoke from the clones was annoying and if not for my instincts my hand would have been paralyzed as a Hijūga came out of the smoke and tried to hit me.

"Not bad. Using the smoke as a cover and with your Byakugan you could see me, but I am a Jonin, so don't think this will work.

I kicked Hinata away as I saw multiple weapons flying toward me from the corner of my eye.

It was Ino throwing them.

I dodged, but then Naruto and Hinata came at me together and fought me.

They were poorly synergizing. Well, it was their first fight as a team.

'They need to work a little more, so they can interact with each other but for now, it is ok. Still, what if I do this?'

I dashed away from the two and focused on the single one who only used ninja weapons. 'Let's see if they can protect you.'

"Now!" shouted Naruto as he replaced Ino through substitution.

I didn't expect it and I was in a bad situation as I was cornered from three angels.

Naruto taking the position of Ino. Hinata rushed at me the moment she saw me moving, expecting me somehow to do it, and I could sense Ino from above going for my head.

I was mad that I got outsmarted by children.

'This is bad. I can't dodge or block all three at the same time. They got me good but I will not let myself be defeated by Genins.

Unconscious, I felt my eyes changed color from red to purple and I mutter a world coming to my mind

"Shinra Tensei."

Suddenly all the trees were blown away. So were my students.

'Dammit, I didn't want to do that so forcefully. And also what is this chakra drain? I used almost all of my chakra just for the first time'.

My students weren't hurt as Naruto stood up and complained.

"Come on, Sensei, what was that?

I have never seen you do this before. It was like an invisible wall came crashing on us."

"Yeah, and it hurts," complained Ino.

"I am sorry, you had me in a sticky situation so you got me to go a little serious there. Still, the test is over and I am very sorry," said Ishizu, getting a tear from his eye.

A moment of silence. I saw the looks of disbelieve on their faces.

I Kakashi-smiled: "No I am just joking. You did it.

Those wires were easily seen, but it was a good distraction for the paper bombs. Hinata's and Naruto's fighting was ok, but it needs to be better. I am surprised that you used Ino as bait and I fell for it.

It was planned but please don't do it in a dangerous situation. I only saw 2 jutsus used, so we will work on that.

For Hinata, it will be Taijutsu.

For Ino, it will be Taijutsu also and Ninjutsu. Also, don't forget your clans' techniques. You only used weapons and those will be useless if they can't reach the target.

For Naruto, it will be Taijutsu together with Hinata. If you can move synchronized, nobody would beat you."

The three Genin smiled and bowed: "Thanks, Sensei"

"Good, tomorrow we will do some D-ranks for teamwork and after that, we will fight against each other."

After everybody left, I sat down breathing heavily.

'I just used the Deva Path which I awakened against Genin and that is not the worst part.

The chakra drain is too high. One Shinra Tensei and I only have a small amount of chakra left.

This is ridiculous.

I need to sleep or I will not function properly tomorrow.
