Chapter 43

'' Cough! '' Iruka seeing the situation, broke turned the attention to himself.

'' I know most of you already know him, he is Naruto-kun, and he is here under the orders of the Hokage to assist you all. Now when I assigned each one of you in your separate teams, the leader of each team must come forward and pick a numbered paper inside this box. '' Iruka placed a box containing numbered papers inside it.

'' The team with the lowest number will the lucky team to have Naruto-kun to assist them for a week. And the team with the number higher than the previous team will be the next team for Naruto-kun to assist for a week and the rest shall follow. ''

All the newly graduated ninjas in the room, prayed that their team would last on the list. Well except for Hinata, she wanted her team to be assigned with Naruto.

'' Alright I'll begin with assigning you all to your own teams. Team 1...''

'' Team 7 will consist of Sakura Haruno, Sai and Sasuke Uchiha. ''

'' Team 8 will consist of Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame. ''

'' Team 11 will consist of Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi.

Iruka assigned all of them to their respective teams now what was left was the picking out the so called '' lucky team. ''

Each team leader came forward and picked out a paper.

The first team on the list was Team 8, Hinata silently cheered.

The second was Team 11 and the third was Team 7 and the list goes on.

Time went by and the respective Jounin of each team came to pick out their respective team.

Now the only team that was left was team 7, 8 and 11.

Naruto and Hinata were discussing about the many delicious recipies they found out, Naruto praised Hinata that she will be a good wife some day.

'' Wife~? '' She cutely looked away from Naruto's face and was blushing wildly.

The others in the room, looked at the odd couple with weird looks. This was too sweet, it might as well give them diabeties.

Moments later, the door opened and a man came in with a cigarette in his mouth. He was none other than Asuma Sarutobi.

'' Alright Team 11 come and follow me. '' Asuma gaze fell on Naruto. '' Oh Naruto ! I really am thankful for you, for all the training you have given to Konohamaru. ''

'' Nah ! Its not a big deal. '' Naruto shrugged it off. '' that kid will grow up to become a splendid Ninja one day. '' ' or maybe a bloodthirsty warmonger. '

Not moments later, another Jounin entered the room, it was a woman with red eyes.

'' I am Kurenai and team 8 please follow me. ''

Naruto and team 8 left the room and they followed their assigned Jounin to a training ground.

'' Alright, well since we are a part of this team, Want to you all to give a basic introduction, your name, likes and dislikes and your dreams. I'll introduce myself again, I am Kurenai, I like to have a nice cup of tea with my friend Anko, I hate people who think females are weaker than men and for my dreams I wish to turn you all into splendid ninjas. Alright, now you all try. ''

Kiba the boy wearing a furry hoodie and carrying a puppy on his head began his introduction, '' I am Kiba Inuzuka and this is my partner Akamaru, I like beef and to take Akamaru for a walk, I especially dislike cats and my sister. As for my dream I want to be the best Ninja tracker in the world. ''

Shino the kid wearing a trenchcoat and googles also began his introduction. '' I am Shino Aburame, I like bugs, I dislike people who ignores me and my dream is to breed a certain bug.

It was Hinata's turn, '' My name is Hinata Hyuga, I like cooking, cinnamon rolls, and... '' she turns to Naruto who also looking at her and was grinning. She instantly turns away from him. '' m-my dream is to be the best Clan head and make my family proud. ''

'' That's a good introduction. '' Kurenai smiled at them, then she looked at Naruto, '' What about you. ''

'' Well ok. My Name is Naruto, I like Hinata-chan, I dislike ANYONE ! who tries to hurt her, I will show them what pain really is... and for my dreams... I don't think I need one. ''

Hinata blushed at his introduction, especially the parts when he said he likes her, the other were a little creeped out when he basically said that he will hurt anyone who tries to hurt her.

'' You might not know this, but I was assigned to you so that I can train you all to be tracking ninjas, specializing in '' search '' and '' search and destroy '' missions. But first you have to pass my test. ''

'' What test sensei? '' Hinata asked.

'' Right now, you are exactly fully a ninja. '' They were all confused at this.

'' Every time a batch of graduates are assigned into teams, their respective sensei are to give them a test so that that by passing it, they are worthy to be ninjas. And as you know, you are currently at the lowest rank in the Shinobi ranking system, Genin to be exact. Chunin are higher than you in rank next comes the Jounin, and if someone is worthy enough they can become a Kage, that is the Highest rank a Shinobi can recieve. Now for my test, I want you all to try to track and restrain me before 12 o'clock. ''

'' That sounds easy enough. '' Kiba said with pride.

'' Your time starts now. '' Kurenai said as performed a seal, her body began to dissolve into the forest, till she was completely disappeared.

'' I cannot find her scent. '' Kiba commented as he sniffs the air.

'' Of course you can't smell her ass-sniffer. '' Naruto said.

'' W-What did you just call me ?! ''

'' She is using a genjutsu that inhibits the three senses. '' Naruto said. '' So trying to sense her by smell is useless. ''

'' Plus trying to smell the target before even analyzing the situation is stupid and embarrassing at the same time. ''

Kiba on hearing this immediately lowered his head in shame.

'' I assume you have a plan Naruto-san ? '' Shino asked.

'' Yeah, I do. '' Naruto replied.

Naruto and team 8 grouped together and discussed the plan.

'' You all got the plan right, especially you ass-sniffer and you too bug boy. ''

'' What about Hinata ? '' Kiba asked. Naruto was just annoying him and Shino but not Hinata.

'' She will be with me, so you don't have to worry about that, she is more useful that you two combined. '' Naruto berated him. '' And I want pin-point accuracy from the both of you other wise... '' Naruto began to crack his knuckles in an eerie way. Kiba gulped in fear.

'' Naruto-kun don't be harsh on them. '' Hinata tugged Naruto's arm telling him to atleast try to be nice to them.

'' Alright Hinata-chan. '' Naruto said with a smile. '' Check your weapons now, before we begin with my plan. ''

Hinata turned to a pouch attached to her leg to check the weapons.

Naruto glared at Kiba and Shino, pointing his finger to himself and then to them, with a clear sign that says ' I got my eyes on you two. You better not screw this up. '

'' Alright now... we SCATTER!!! ''

Immediately, they all jumped into different directions, hiding themselves from Kurenai's watchful eyes.

Kurenai was at a tree branch inspecting them all.

' Hmm. They are hiding themselves nicely, but I still see Kiba and Akamaru hiding under that bush Shino is at a tree branch. But where is Naruto and Hinata. '

'' I'M RIGHT OVER HERE !!! '' Kurenai heard a loud voice and turned to see that it was Naruto. On closer inspection she saw Hinata was being carried on Naruto's back. '' I DON'T NEED TO HIDE LIKE A BITCH !!! COME AND FACE ME IF YOU DARE. ''

Kurenai was obviously not going to face him.

'' Looks like she won't come. '' Naruto said. '' Alright Hinata, let's begin. ''

'' Yes. '' Hinata immediately activated her Byakugan. With her family iconic eyes, the genjutsu was useless infront of her.

'' She's on that branch. '' Hinata pointed at Kurenai's position.

'' Hold tight ok, and keep telling her location. '' Naruto said to Hinata.

Hinata shyly nooded and wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck. Naruto supported Hinata's butt with his arms so that she won't fall.

Hinata was so embarrassed at the position she was in. She was too close to Naruto, her small arms were wrapped around his strong neck, her body was in very close contact with his muscular back and to make things worse, his strong arms was touching her butt. She never this much body contact with him and she just blushed in embarrassment.

' I can feel Hinata's chest, damn its so soft ! ' Naruto screamed in his head.

Even though this position is very awkward, it provided Naruto a good sense of direction in this Genjutsu, while keeping Hinata as close as possible, so that he can protect her.

Naruto silenced his perverted thoughts and focused his attention on his target.

Since his arms were currently occupied, he had to use his legs.

He rushed towards Kurenai's position and delivered a round house kick. Kurenai saw this and immediately jumped away from the branch, making Naruto to only kick the air.

'' Where is she now. '' Naruto asked.

'' She is infront of that tree. '' Hinata pointed out.

Naruto rushed to the direction and with the sharp nails on his toes, he slashed tree leaving a mark on it, but did not hit Kurenai as she barely dodged the attack.

'' She is on that branch now. '' Hinata pointed out.

The onslaught of Naruto's Kicks and with Hinata's accurate info of Kurenai's position, made it very difficult for her to dodge the attack, because she had to keep the genjutsu active.

'' Naruto-kun, she is on top of that boulder. '' Hinata pointed to fairly large boulder.

'' Get ready with the next phase of the plan, ok. '' Naruto said.

'' Ok. ''

Naruto then jumped to a tree and then jumped almost ten meters high, with a loud roar he delivered a flying axe kick on the boulder leaving a huge crack on it.

Before the kick even landed Kurenai simply jumped away from the boulder.

Naruto then kept attacking her while she dodge most of it.

Her focus was split into two, one was on Naruto and the other was on keeping the genjutsu active.

All of a sudden, she felt a sharp pain on her sides, she turned to she that Hinata had hit her with a gentle fist palm strike.

She realize that their plan was to divert her attention to Naruto, so that Hinata could land a blow on her.

When hit with a gentle fist attack, the chakra inside one's body becomes disturbed, that is also what happened to Kurenai, she could not keep the genjutsu active any longer and she became visible.

But Hinata did not stop there, she continued with her attacks and Kurenai had to dodge each and everyone of her strikes.

To make things even worse for her, Naruto also began to attack, with his huge sword.

Naruto delivered a vicious front kick landing on Kurenai's chest sending her flying.

While she was still in the air, Naruto roared.

'' ASS-SNIFFER DO IT!!! ''

'' Fang over fang! ''

Kurenai saw two tornados comming towards her, but she twisted her body mid air and dodge it.

Landing on the ground, Kurenai was thinking of a plan, when she felt her chakra being sucked out from her. It was from Shino's bugs.

Not allowing any chances, the bugs covered her entire body except her face and they began to suck her chakra.

Kurenai fell to knees as her chakra was rapidly sucked dry.

Naruto walked towards her with his sword in his hand.

Pointing his sword at her face, '' Do you yield. ''

With a sigh, Kurenai said, '' Yes, I yield. And congrats you all passed the test. ''
