Chapter 11: The training and the bells

*1:00pm the next day*

Naruto and Hinata had been training most of the morning wondering what Takamichi had in store for his new squad. They were supposed to be meeting at the training ground and Naruto was wondering what Takamichi was going to be doing out there. Hinata had been working on her training most of the day and she still couldn't burst the ball, she could make it dimple and rock it but it wouldn't break. Naruto knew she had to do this on her own he could only help her if it was needed.

"Hinata take a break and come over here for a minute" Naruto called to her.

Hinata paused her training to come over to see what Naruto wanted. He pulled out a small square piece of paper from his pocket.

"Hinata look a this piece of paper" Naruto said to her.

She looked at it for a few seconds not knowing really what she was supposed to be doing. Naruto pulled the paper around before doing something to the paper with a brush.

"Now Hinata look at it again" Naruto said turning the paper showing a small swirl in the middle of the page.

Her eyes immediatly landed on the swirl. He took her right hand and drew the same swirl on her palm.

"Use this in your training" Naruto told her.

"How would I do that Naruto" She asked him.

"That's easy Hinata just think of the piece of paper the side without the swirl and the side with the swirl.

Now she looked even more confused.

"Ok Hinata think of this how long did it take you to focus on the center of the paper without the swirl" He asked her.

"It took a few minutes" she said.

"Ok how about when I showed the side with the swirl" Naruto asked.

"Right away" She told him.

"Right this swirl will be able to help you focus your chakra on a point" He said.

Soon a tired Hanabi and Inari walked through the gate with Takamichi picking up the rear. Hinata ran to her sister.

"Hanabi what happened you look exausted"Hinata said.

"It was senseis test it was crazy" Hanabi told her sister.

Naruto turned to his brother and shook his head.

"Let me guess you gave them the bell test didn't you" Naruto chuckled.

"You guessed right little brother" Takamichi said.

* 4 hours eariler*

Hanabi, Inari and Kaede got to the monument training grounds at 6:00 like their sensei had told them. They had followed all of his instructions and now they waited for him at the monument.

"I'm glad you are all on time so lets begin" Takamichi told his students.

"Yes sensei" All three gennin said.

Takamichi pulled out two small bells from his hip pouch.

"Each of you must try and retrieve one of these bells before noon or you will be tied to one of the stumps while the others get to eat lunch" Takamichi told his squad.

"Yes sensei" They said.

"Come at me with the intent to kill, begin" the Jounin told his squad.

All three gennin split up and took up their hiding postions each trying to figure out the best plan of attack, Kaedes genjustu would be no use at her level, her sensei wouls be able to dispell it quickly. Their sensei knew Hanabi's gentle fist style and Inari's ninjutsu was mid-gennin level, by the looks of it the only way to get the bells was teamwork and stealth. Their main problem is that their sensei is standing out in the open with almost no chance for sneak attack. They needed to regroup so they could plan how they were going to get thoses bells.

Hanabi could see Inari about 25 yards to the right of her see couldn't see Kaede she hoped she was laying low and somewhere where her sensei couldn't find her. She slowly made her way towards Inari but not before she stepped on a small twig the made a big snap, she turned to look at her sensei but he was no where to be seen.

"Hanabi" Takamichi called out behind from behind

Hanabi turned around and was caught in the Demonic Illusion Hell Viewing Genjustu. Both Inari and Kaede were caught by surprise when they heared Hanabi's scream from the image in the illusion that was cast on her, they turned back to the spot were their sensei was a yet again he was in the same spot leaning againest the same tree. Hanabi was taken out of action for a bit, but Inari is lucky that Naruto had been teaching him the Shadow Clone jutsu for the last month. He could only make 8 or 9 clones, but it would buy him time so he had a plan to rescue Hanabi from the Genjutsu and find Kaede. Takamichi was leaning back against the tree again waiting to see what his students would try next. He hadn't expected Inari to charge him out the open he new that Inari wasn't the great with taijustu so why would he attack head on, but what surprised him more is when Inari splits into 8 clones and charge him head on.

Inari's clones were keeping his sensei busy while he picked up Hanabi and moved towards the place he knew Kaede was hiding.

Inari dropped down beside Kaede trying to be as quiet as possible but also let her know that was there.
"Man she got hit hard didn't she Inari" Kaede said as she started to release the genjutsu.

" Yeah sensei is tough, hey she's come around" Inari told her.

Hanabi started to wake up slowly, the last thing she remembered was seeing her sensei, a swirl of leaves and the horrible images of her teamates covered with weapons imbeded in them and bleeding heavly.

"What happened" Hanabi asked her teammates.

" Sensei put you under a genjutsu, Inari used his shadow clones and brought you to me so we could plan" Kaede said

"Yeah we need to think of something and quick the clones are almost gone" Hanabi told her group.

They looked out to where the sensei was taking out the clones like they were made of paper they didn't have long. After a few minutes Inari was the first to rush Takamichi running through hand signs.

"Water Style: Liquid Bullets" Inari cried out before firing off a volly of water projectiles at his sensei.

Takamichi was dodging the attacks with ease, he knew water jutsus were Inari's best and why not he did come from the land of waves. Takamichi just kept dodging backwards towards the small river not knowing that a ambush was waiting in the depths of the water. As soon as him feet touched the bank of the river Hanabi and a bunch of Inari clones each grabbed a hold of the sensei.

Takamichi stared to struggle before Kaede hit her sensei with the Temple of Nirvana jutsu and Takamichi hit the ground. As soon as the gennin grabbed the bell their sensei's bodies suddenly turned into a pile of rose petals, and as soon as that happens the timer goes off.

"Very good, you guys have passed the test" He told his squad.

"Now lets hed to my place for lunch"

"I'd love to sensei but I should get back my mother wanted me back when we were done" Kaede said.

"All right lets meet at the Hokage tower tomorrow for your first mission"Takamichi told them.

*The Namikaze estate present time*

"Well lets get you guys a bath and some lunch" Naruto said.

They all went inside to bathe and to have lunch.
