Chapter 3: Genin Test
Naruto, Hinata and Kiba arrive at Training Ground 16 where their Sensei is waiting.
"Good, you have arrive on time." Kurenai said as she set an alarm clock on the stump, "This clock is set at noon."
"For what?" Kiba asked.
"Simple, all you need to do is just catch me. If you couldn't catch me at noon, you'll go without lunch. You will be tie to those trees over there..." Kurenai said as she point at three large and wide trees, "And watch will I eat your lunch in front of you."
"Just catch you? This will be easy, right buddy?" Kiba said with his K9 partner agree.
"We'll see about that. Now, you three may start when I say go... GO!" Then Kurenai disappear!
"HEY! She's gone!" Naruto said.
Kiba and Akamaru sniff around before Kiba say, "She went north!"
"Let's go!" Naruto said.
With that, they went towards the scent that Kiba smelled. A while later, they're somewhere in the forest where Kurenai is.
"Nice work, using Kiba's nose, but..." Kurenai disappear again!
Kiba and Akamaru sniff around.
"Well?" Naruto asked.
"She must have her scent everywhere. We can't track her down." Kiba said with his pet-I mean partner nodded in agreement.
"L-let me try." Hinata said before she activated her Byakugan and look around for the while, "She's going South."
With that, they went towards the clearing where Kurenai is sitting on the rock.
"Good job with Hinata's Byakugan. But sadly..." Kurenai disappear once again!
"Oh, come on!" Naruto said.
Hinata looks around with her Byakugan while Kiba and Akamaru sniff around.
"S-she seems t-to be d-disappeared from m-my Byakugan." Hinata said.
"And she must have mask her scent." Kiba said.
Meanwhile, Kurenai was hiding in the trees while applying a special Genjutsu that hid her from the Byakugan and rub some leaves on her to mask her scent.
'Let see what your new bloodline could do besides stinging.' Kurenai thought.
(Meanwhile)
"Queenie, any ideas?" Naruto asked.
"I would suggest send out the scouts to track her down. One sting can alert all of my hornets." Queen said/minded.
"Right!" Naruto said before he cup his hands together for the while before he open them, revealing few hornets.
The hornets starts to hover around till one of them fly fast at the west. A few moments later, the hornet see Kurenai and aim it's stinger at her rear and fly down till...
POKE!
"OW!"
(Meanwhile)
"Found her! At west about an hour away!" Queen said/minded.
"Ok, team, follow me!" Naruto said before he lead his team.
(Meanwhile)
Kurenai jump around while rubbing her rear end while the hornet laugh at it's catch.
"How did it find me?" Kurenai asked.
Then suddenly, her students arrive.
"Now we got you." Naruto said as the hornet return to it's living hive.
Then, Naruto try to land a punch but Kurenai block it before jump to dodge Kiba and Akamaru. Then Kurenai grab Hinata's wrist before Hinata could land her Gentle Fist attack. Kurenai spin around with Hinata before she throw Hinata at Naruto, Kiba and his dog, knocking them down.
"Try to get out of this." Kurenai said as she made some hand-signs.
Suddenly, Team 8 fall down, under the effect of Genjutsu Kurenai casted.
"That should hold them till noon." Kurenai then pull out hornet anti-venom gun, "Good thing I come prepared."
(Meanwhile)
The hornet larvas were enjoying the Chakra food when they sense something disturb their food. The larvas began clicking and crying, creating the sound wave through their hive.
Naruto sudden jolting back into reality, "What happen?"
"My little larvas does not like something or someone disturb their meal as in your Chakra, so they let out some kind of sound wave to snap you back." Queen said/minded.
"Right..." Naruto muttered before he went towards his team mates.
Form her hiding, Kurenai was surprise that Naruto of all people, manage to break through her Genjutsu.
After Naruto free Kiba and Hinata, the team have gather round.
"OK, maybe it's not that easy." Kiba said.
"Kurenai Sensei is a J-Jonin. We may not have a c-chance against h-her." Hinata said.
Then Naruto had a thought, "Maybe not by our own but if we work together, we might have a chance. Just like my Honest friends."
"Maybe you're right... for once." Kiba said with a smirk.
"HEY!"
Then Naruto summon his hornets and they hover around.
"By the way, Naruto, how did your hornets found Kurenai Sensei?" Kiba asked.
Naruto is about to answer... only he's got no answer!
"Hey, Queenie, how did those guys found her?" Naruto asked.
"Her breath." Queen said/minded.
"Her breath?" Naruto asked.
"Her breath?" Kiba and Hinata asked.
'My breath?' Kurenai thought.
"Like these tasty mosquito, my swam can sense the enemies by the odor of the carbon dioxide gas that humans and other animals naturally exhale." Queen said/minded.
Naruto then told his team mates what his queen friend told him while Kurenai listen nearby.
'So, that's how one of those hornets found me. I'll just hold my breath.' Kurenai thought.
And with that, Jonin hold her breath as few hornets hover pass. But her face then turn blue before she let out a huge air. One of the hornets sense Kurenai's sudden breath before it charge towards her and land on her rear...
"Oh no. Not again." Kurenai whispered before...
POKE!
"Yeouch!"
Kurenai jump out of her hiding, rubbing her rear, "That's smarts."
The Genins then charge at her. Kurenai jump to dodge then pull out hornet anti-venom gun. After inject it, Kurenai went to her fighting stand.
Naruto charge and try to land a fist but Kurenai grab him and throw him away before jump to dodge Hinata's Gentle Fist.
Kiba and his partner, went on attack but Kurenai throw an stink bomb, much to poor Kiba and Akamaru dismay.
Naruto join in again while doing some hand signs, "Time to try something I've been working on since meet the queen. Nina Art: Swam Attack!"
Then from Naruto's sleeves, a swam of Hornets charge towards Kurenai.
"Not the all swam!" Kurenai said as she pull out her Kunai.
The hornet swam fly around Kurenai. Kurenai manage to slice one Hornet in half, but at least five Hornets land on her hand and Kurenai could feel wetness on her hand as she wave it. The hornets flies off, leaving Kurenai's hand trap in quick dry wax cocoon.
Just then, Kurenai felt some jabs from behind before she fall to her knees. Then Kiba and Akamaru tackle her to the ground before the Hornets swam on her few the moment before they fly off, leaving Kurenai trap inside dried wax cocoon, leaving her head out.
Then one of the Hornet land on Kurenai's neck with it's stinger aiming, Hinata point her two fingers at her Sensei's neck and Kiba hold the Kunai right between the eyes.
"Guess you got me. You pass." Kurenai said.
"Alright!" Naruto said as he hugs his female team mate... much to Hinata blushing joy.
"Now then, can any of you tell me what the real reason of the test?" Kurenai asked.
"I think it's about teamwork." Naruto said as he put down Hinata.
"That's correct, Naruto. First thing tomorrow, we'll begin the missons. For now, you three..." Kurenai said.
"Woof!"
"Sorry, you 'four' have the rest of the day off." Kurenai said.
"I say we should celebrate." Kiba said.
"Yeah, Ramen!" Naruto said as he grab Kiba with Akamaru in his jacket, and blushing Hinata before rush off.
Kurenai smlie at her students before she reaziles... "WAIT! How can I get out of this? Hello? HELLO?!"
Seeing that she on her own, Kurenai sigh before she manage to turn around and move like a worm.
(A few Moments later)
The Third Hokage stare at the Jonins.
"It's not like Kurenai to be late." Third said.
Just then, the door open and Kurenai, still trap in cocoon, hop over before she fall on the floor in front of Hokage's desk.
"What happen?" Asuma asked.
"Naruto's bug friends. Now... GET ME OUT OF THIS THING!" Kurenai said.
After a few minutes, Kurenai was free from her cocoon prison.
"Now then, test report." Third said.
"Team One failed."
"Team Two failed."
"Team Three failed."
"Team Four failed."
"Team Five failed."
"Team Six failed."
"Team Seven passed." Everyone was surprise that Kakashi has passed his team for once.
"Team Eight passed."
"Team Ten passed."
"Very well. Those who had their passed remain here. The rest dismiss." Third Hokage said.
With that, Kurenai, Kakashi and Asuma remain while the rest of the jonin left.
"Now then. Tell me of your test." Third Hokage said.
(And done! Hope you enjoy it. Now that Hornet Ninja and his team mates passed, what's await them later on? Stay tune to find out. Till then, see you all soon!)
