The Taiyoukagure nins

Fourteen years ago, in a world were ninjas are the military powers of the Five Great Nations of the World, the village of Taiyoukagure, the Village Hidden in the Sun, suffered a great civil war had erupted between two clans resulting into the village to be greatly weakened and they hadn't had any contact from the village for a long time…

Seating in a large room, was the Yondaime Taiyoukage of the village. He was in his late thirties, dressed in yellow robes with his hat on the desk as he watched sun rise above his village. His intelligent eyes surveyed his surroundings.

They were large scrolls on the shelves in the corners, with a numbers of paintings of the previous kages, and he was quite proud to have been chosen to be the leader of the village and since the Chuunin Selection Exam was coming up, he was going to send a team to Konoha so that they could strengthen their alliance with the Land of Fire.

His office door suddenly opened and a woman entered. She was dressed in a black pants and black long sleeved shirts with the Sun symbol on the shoulders, and a midnight blue flak jacket with three small scrolls pouch on it. Her forehead protector bore the sign of a half cut leaf with three traces on top of it, symbolizing the sunset, the village mark.

The woman got short dark hair and she seemed to have an air of authority, as both of her fingerless gloved hands was holding a scroll, and she had a smile on her face.

"Taiyoukage-sama," she said, "I'm just reporting to you about the matter we've discussed, and it seemed that the Daimyo of the Sun had had a meeting with the other Daimyo of the Land of Fire."

"Yes thank you Claire," he said.

"Is there anything else you would like me to do?" Claire asked.

"As a matter-of-fact, there is something you can do this year that will give Konoha Hokage's our trust back," the man said, his eyes twinkling.

Claire inwardly sighed. She was in the troops long enough to know that whenever the Taiyoukage got that twinkle in his eyes, he was working on a plan and whatever the outcome it was always a challenge.

"Claire, I want you and your team to participate in the upcoming Chuunin Exams that will be taking place in Konoha this year,"

"S-sir…?"

"Yes," he said, "Our village had hidden in the shadows long enough, and we must advance our ranks, and put our nation back on the map."

"Sir, it was over thirteen years since we participate in the Exams," Claire said narrowing her sharp eyes.

"I already send my message to the Hokage," the Taiyoukage said, "your team will be perfect, and considering this new village Otokagure, under the legendary snake, I won't be surprised if he go against Konoha."

"So the rumors are true then," Claire said.

"Yes, so I'm also giving you a mission and your teams," the Taiyoukage said, "A S-ranked one."

Claire's eyes widened at this. The Taiyoukage usually gave his dangerous missions to the SOLDIERS, but it now seemed that the Taiyoukage is also feeling something bad is coming.

"You and your team are to support the Konoha ninjas in their task if a invasion or any of the kind," he said his face serious, "My spies had found out of the plan and I expect you and your team to be proud of presenting Taiyoukagure in the Exam,"

"Yes, Taiyoukage-sama," Claire said bowing, "I will inform my team during our meeting tomorrow."

"Claire, keep this info from your students, just tell them to participate in the exams that is all," the Taiyoukage said.

Claire nodded and walked out.

The next day, three people were waiting on a field.

Two girls and a boy, and they were all seemed to be waiting for something. The first girl had steel gray hair and pink eyes. She was dressed in a cream colored shirt with long fishnet sleeves. She also wore small pants which seemed to be attached together with the rest part of the pants, and she wore a shurinken holster on her left tight and the Taiyou headband was around her neck.

The other girl was wearing long pants with a black shirt with a Ying-Yang sign on it. She had brown colored hair, which ended in a ponytail, and her eyes were green with some swirls in it. They had no pupils and it seemed to be curious as her headband was on her forehead.

The guy wore all black. He had some red in them here and there and on the back of his long jacket was a strange symbol of a triangular eye, which was red and beneath it was a sun symbol. He had pink hair which was long, reaching his upper back. His eyes were like molten gold as they watched the sky, almost bored, as two braided bang of hair were falling on either side of his face like sideburn.

"When is Claire-sensei is going to get here?" Brown haired asked.

When she received no answer, she sighed loudly and pulled out a kunai knife, and started twirling it in her fingers, as if wishing time to speed up and screamed loudly in frustration of waiting around like that with nothing to do.

"Would you chill?" the other girl said in annoyance, almost.

"I can't wait anymore."

"We've only been here for like ten minutes," the boy said.

"Thanks a lot Jack, it make me feel a lot better," Brown hair said.

The boy, Jack didn't say anything as he continued to stare at the sky and then they were a small pop as smoke appeared to show a dark-haired woman smiling.

"Hello there everyone," he said.

"YOU'RE LATE," Brown hair yelled pointing her finger at her sensei.

"For a good reason to," Claire said, "now the Taiyoukage had requested our presence in Konohagakure, to participate in the upcoming Chuunin Exam."

"What?" Jack said, looking at his sensei, dumbstruck, "but we've never participated before. Doesn't our village have its own Chuunin Exams?"

"Yes," Claire said, "but, Taiyoukage is abolishing this rule right now, and count yourselves lucky to be the first team to participate in a foreign country Exam."

"About time," Brown hair yelled punching the hair, "I always wanted to tell my skills against other ninjas in competitions."

"Don't you already do that in missions?" Jack asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Yes," Brown hair said, "but against our own age groups, I'll show them that Taiyoukagure have the best of the shinobies."

Claire shook her head as she remembered the first time she had become their sensei. It was about a year ago and she was still amazed at how much they had grown..

Flashback

Claire stood in front of the threesome as she starred them. They were two days out of the academy and she was smiling at what she was going to make them go through.

"Okay everyone," she said, "Let's start the introductions, shall we? You know… likes, dislikes, dreams and whatever you want to give."

"How about you gave a demo sensei?" Jack had asked.

He was wearing a shirt and short pants and his hair was shorter then and he had just started the two braided bans that swayed as he cooked his head to the side.

"I guess that's true," Claire said, "I'm Claire Fox, I likes training and all…dislikes other stuffs, and, I've got a lot of dreams, you're next Brownie."

"I'm not BROWNIE," she snapped, "my name is Sava and I like my friends and becoming stronger. I hate fan girls and weak kunoichi, and I want to test my skills against other shinobies as I grew stronger and I dislike old perverts and my dream is to kick the author of Icha Icha Paradise in the balls for writing such things."

Claire grinned, "Next."

"My name is Payne," the steeled gray haired girl said, "I have no interest in anything and dislike boys with a large ego; I'm not thinking of dreams."

"O-o-okay," Claire said looking at Payne, 'This one need a lot of friends.' "Next."

"My name is Jack," the boy said, "I become a ninja to be able to do something with my life, rather than seat at the orphanage all day."

"That's it?" Sava said.

"Yep, Brownie,"

"AAAARGH ITS SO ON NOW"

Flashback end

"Our village, Taiyoukagure had suffered a lot after the civil war," Claire said, "and we had lost many shinobies, but we must show that even so, we are not to be messed with and I want you all to walk away from Konoha with Chuunin promotions."

"Yes," the three said.

"Good," Claire said, "Team Fox, we will depart tomorrow morning."

The three kids nodded and they all vanished in a wisp of smoke.
