Serious: Team Uchiha: Test

Early at the morning on the third training ground, there sits Uchiha Kurohime Yuki eating takoyaki and drank sake.
She were waiting for her students to show up, so she could start the test.
- Geez kids are slow... i even stole their money and food while they were sleeping...
She said and had a huge bag next to her, and there where food from her students house.

Sab had not been surprised that morning to find things missing. It seemed to happen a lot. Still, he knew that it was just another sudden and unexpected training exercise. Over the years he'd begun to understand how it all worked. That said, he still wasn't pleased about it. Sudden tests meant a lack of preparation and without preparation he was hardly able to do anything. Still, he had to do it so he grabbed several of his pocket notebooks and a few more flipbooks. He left his home stuffing them into pouches.

In the end it was hardly a matter of tracking down his sensei. The practice grounds weren't exactly a big secret. He trudged along into view with his nose in a notebook. Desperately cramming was not something he enjoyed but he seemed to be doing it a lot.

100 shurriken rain down from the trees from all directions towards Yuki from with in the leafy cover of the trees. They are quickly followed by 100 elderly Naruto Uzumaki's all trying to land a hit on the Sharingan wielding bandit. The clones' attacked looked like a stampede, causing dust to rise into the air and the ground to slightly shake.

Yuki sigh softly then stood up quickly and disappeared, she used her flying thunder god technique then stabbed every single clone until she got to the original person then she had her grip around her throat and held her up.
- Have i said you could start the test?
She said then dropped her down, then looked back and noticed all the shurikens had destroyed their food, she grinned and giggles gently.
- You know your shurikens destroyed your food... baka...

Saburou had been correct, it was just another test and probably a meaningless one as well. Certainly not one he was going to do well on. It was disappointing. What made it worse was that all his food was now most likely ruined. Worse still, he'd already extensively documented shadow clone jutsu and watching it again wasn't likely to shed new light on the subject. Since he didn't have much choice, he made his way to the giggling woman that was their teacher.

"Good morning sensei." He bowed slightly and pulled out his book. He still needed what little information he could get in the next few seconds.

The elderly Naruto transformed back into her original form of Hokitsune Uzumaki granddaughter of the legendary hero. As she picked herself back up to her feet she dusted herself off. With a snarl she looked at he instructor, before looking at the bags of food and items, all of which had been ruined. Her pupils became vertical slits and iris' became red with rage as a small amount of fox chakra leaked out. What made it worse was the other student, he was so clam and showed the thief respect despite all that had happened.

- I'm not a Jounin, i'm a Sannin, and yes i'm your sensei Uchiha Yuki
She said and looked at them both, and sigh gently.
- Well Lets begin, you need to get the this bell if you want any food.
She said held up a a little bell.

"Sensei, I thought I might point out that there's only one bell and two of us." He'd at least taken his nose out of the book to notice that. Still, he had guessed correctly, it was another test that seemed pointless. Still, he would have to try is he wanted to show any sort of improvement. Of course he had to act quick before the overactive student to his side did something rash. He decided to try something different.

"Sensei, may I please have the bell?"

Hokitsune smiled at the womans words, she had seen the bell training before when her older brother went through it. Knowing this she knew she could go all out on the woman with out prosecution if she ended up hurting the Uchiha. The one tailed demon cloak surrounded Hokitsune and she took off like a shot leaving dust at her original starting point. With a giant fist of fox chakra she tried to hit the instructor with a wide right swipe.

Yuki sighed at Hokitsune, she dodged Hokitsune's attack and went under her arm and then got behinde her and then had grabbed on Hokitsunes arm back towards her neck with Kunai aimed towards her neck.
- Did i say start?
She said then letted go, held up the bell.
- There is only one bell because, if someone doesnt get the bell he dont get any food, me, iken had to go through same thing.

Well it certainly made sense, still, it was hardly a fair contest. Even if he could do a tenth of the things he had written down the sensei was far more skilled than he. Besides, he hadn't failed yet. Perhaps she just hadn't heard him. "Sensei, may I please have the bell?"

Hokitsune growled as the cloak dissipated into nothingness as she was handled to her knees by Yuki. As she was released he leaped forward and spun around to face the woman. Hokitsune was getting really irritated with her brothers previous team mate, she couldn't see why he only had good things to say about her.

- Well i won't give you the bell, you have to take it from me... and if you don't pass this test, you will never become a ninja.
She said and looked at them and then tied the bell around her waist.
- So... Let's begin.

So he wouldn't be a ninja. Disappointing to be sure, but six years he'd been trying and failing. It wasn't as if his lack of skill was news to him. Still, he'd become pretty sure that he knew exactly how this would turn out if he didn't put some effort into it. He checked his book a few more times before deciding what he would do first. Obviously the most important part was the disguise, and he'd gotten top marks in class, though not without heavy preparation. It was time though, he would be a tree. Nobody expected a tree to be an enemy.

Hokitsune smiled, after all the times she was stopped, she would finally get he r chance. Charging forward Kit threw two shurriken, as she did she also created two shadow clones. However both shadow clones were hidden in someway from the naked eye. One clone was hidden by being transformed into one of the two shurriken and the other was in the shadow of one of the shurriken. The clone shurriken was aimed directly for the bell while the second real shurriken was aimed for Yuki's head.

Yuki sighed and looked at Hokitsune, then she made secretly a shadow clone and left by using a Flying lightning god technique then made another shadow clone that sat behinde Hokitsune with a Tiger hand seal pointed towards Hokitsune's butt...
- You're a girl and this stupid... i'm suprised.. One Thousand Years of Death !!
She yelled and did her One Thousand Years of Death Technique.

Sab was long gone by that point. He'd shot off into the woods and moved in among the trees. With luck the fight would move this way, without luck, well he never had much luck anyway. He'd focused entirely on substitution and disguise on his way over, they seemed most important at the time. Substitution if he was attacked, and disguise if he wasn't. Perhaps the sensei might errantly run through the trees where he could get the drop on her. He began examining each tree to see which was best.

Creating a two shadow clones, Hokitsune used one to block the up the butt attack. The clone grimaced as the attack hit then poofed into nothingness. The second clone grabbed Yuki's arm and wrapped herself around it. All the while Hokitsune was forming chakra into her right palm.


Slamming the sphere like jutsu into the ground she caused dust and debris to fly up. Throwing down a smoke bomb for extra measure she used body flicker to disappear. Hokitsune hid inside a rather large tree waiting and thinking of what to do next.

The clone Hokitsune attack disappeared then the Original had found the original Hokitsune, (note The real sensei is under ground) She popped up from the ground and did her One Thousand Years of Death Hokitsune and threw Shurikens near Saborou's head.

Sab was quite pleased with his choice of tree. It was a nice firm one that could probably handle some abuse. So long as it looked solid, that would do. He pulled out his notebook and began checking out his notes on the transformation justsu. As all his notes, they were well organized and overly detailed. He wanted to make sure he got this right so he checked the texture of the bark as well as the smell of the leaves. Missing any details would mean discovery and that would mean a total failure.

As Hokitsune was hit by the painful attack, she gripped Yuki's fingers with he butt cheeks trying to hold her in place. The shurriken that she had thrown earlier that was now lodged into the very tree they were standing by transformed into a clone grabbing for the bell from the front. At the very same time a hand reached out of the shadow of the tree also grabbing for the bell, but from behind. The two clones were the one's Hokitsune created earlier that she had transformed into a shurriken and shadow.

Yuki used her flying lightning god technique and changed place with one of Hokitsune's clones, then noticed where Saborou where and went there, then stop used her flying lightning god technique then satt above him...
- You know... you're the first Uchiha ever that hides without doing anything....
She said and looked at Saborou.

Saburou looked up at her with a slightly puzzled expression. "I did do something. I asked politely and you declined. That is doing something even if it wasn't effective. Neither was Hokitsune for that matter and my failures did not waste excess energy, imagine that." He returned to looking at the tree. "You know, maybe today there are a lot of firsts, I'm the first Uchiha to hide, and your the first Uchiha to sit on me. Did you notice I'm not studying anymore?"

The clone, for that is what it was, just smiled, and the real Sab exposed himself. Trees were a pain, but smaller transformations were easier, in this case, he'd made himself to be like a nice branch overhead his clone. He hadn't expected to actually be sat on though. He tried to grab the sensei's legs as the clone jumped for the bell.

Throwing three explosive tags near Yuki, dust shot up blocking her view of Hokitsune. For good measure the fiery fox girl threw down a smoke bomb causing it to explode creating an even thicker screen. Using body flicker Hokitsune disappeared after a spike in chakra levels. However after the spike she was gone and even her chakra seemed to disappear this time there was no trace.

Yuki closed her eyes and counted to three... "Ich! Ni! San!" she said then suddenly disappeared, she were looking for Hokitsune then when she found her she took a rope and quickly lifted her to a pole then took Saburou since she knew where he were then putted him standing next to Hokitsune.
Then she tied Hokitsune to the pole.
- Well the test is over, since Saborou where the most closest person and almost tricked me... here!
She said and threw the bell to Saborou, then went towards Hokitsune.
- Hokitsune, you must wait before you charge... you're so carefree... thats why it is easy to read through your moves like a book...
