"It's cool." Sachi shrugged it off, commenting back on the first sentence. "Sachi." She answered with a small smile. "Your sensei, eh? Funny, you were never mentioned before...." She eyed Tenou.

"Sensei never talked about me, oh well, I guess, he had better things to do, then talk about his top ever student," Hattori called out shocked before grinning, "Well, there are some pretty nurses here, that is for sure."

"Wow, top ever student. That's pretty nifty." Sachi chuckled, and then giggled even harder when he commented on the cute nurses. "Go ahead and talk to them." She encouraged.

"Well, they can wait to talk to the best swordsmen in Fire county later, they will all enjoy the chance," Hattori said with a huge smile.

"Pffttt..." Sachi chuckled. "You sure do think highly of yourself." She smiled and sat on the windowsill. "So, we just keep him instead of you for a while, Tenou?" She asked.

"He is pretty good, not as good as me, but good, Jounin at least if he lived in Konoha," Tenou said with a smile as Hattori nodded proudly of his sensei's approval, "Just throw oranges at him, if he is annoying."

"Oranges, anything but oranges, they are horrible," Hattori called out while setting back.

"What's wrong with oranges? Oranges are delicious!" Sachi smiled.

"There so orange, they must be evil, all things orange are evil, you don't know that," Hattori said as if it were a fact.

I just had to throw in a new character.

Is the new character....orange? XD

"Hahaha! I happen to like oranges. Hokage-sama used to wear this nifty orange jump suit...." Sachi mused. "And Kyo Sohma on Fruits Basket has orange hair.....so I have no reason to dislike the color orange."

"That is why, I turned down the chance to be a Leaf, I saw that orange, I could not sleep for nights," Hattori said with a blink of his eyes looking around, "Did you know that orange is the color of evil."

lol no Hattori

Raiden groaned inwardly. "Well aren't we the luckiest people on earth...? I'm stuck with a kid who hates our village and have been made to work with a guy who hates orange... Could it get any better than this?" he said sarcastically.

"Oh your the other person, who I will work with, cool, your Raiden, right, I have heard about you before, your suppose to be really amazing," Hattori said with a smile.

"Well......the good news is that.....it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow :D." Sachi smiled.

"Great, the sun owns, all," Hattori said with a nod, "I can patrol the town, as you two train your brats."

"Sounds like a plan." Sachi nodded. "We better get some shut-eye though. We got a big day tomorrow...."

"Yep, good night, you two, I will patrol for any problems tonight, fear no, for I am on duty," Hattori said with a laugh before disapearing.

Sachi chuckled and walked out of the hospital room, dragging Raiden with her. "See ya later~!" She called to Tenou.

"Later," Tenou called out weakly, as he laughed at his own second in command.

Raiden stumbled once before walking on his own. "Now, really, does that have to happen every time we storm out?" he asked.

Tenou woke up the next morning in pain still, as he wondered what his former teammates were up too. He knew that Hattori was more then likely still searching the town, if he had not found anything.

Zoro, was at the training grounds with Nami a hour before they were suppose to be there, each working on some breakfast, while they waited.

"Me dragging you? Yup~!" Sachi giggled. *time skip sleeping, because I gotta catch up* She made her way to the training grounds the next morning, slowly, arriving a half an hour late. "Oh, hello there." She said to her team, once she finally arrived.

Hinshu was at the training grounds with them. (sachi is his temporary student now, right?)

Akemi woke up with a lazy yawn and scratched his head, trying to remember what he had to do for the day. (I don't remember where he's supposed to go.)

"Hi sensei, can we get this test over quickly, I have so serious training to get to," Zoro said with a nod, having brought all three swords with him.

"Morning," Nami said with a wave.

Hajime was kicking a pebble until he came across the training grounds. He saw his sensei wasn't there so he found a place to settle in for a while. As he did so, he couldn't help but notice Hinshu. Hajime thought it was awkward for someone to be so...quiet. Man, this guy's... he shrugged, still staring, Man....

Sachi smiled. "Ah, ah, ah~! Don't be so hasty, my young pupil~! Because you'll be sent back to the academy if you don't pass...." She warned.

Hinshu raised an eyebrow at this information, but then felt his face tingle, as if someone was looking at him. He looked to the side and saw Hajime staring at him. Why's he staring at me...? He questioned in his mind and waved at Hajime to try and shake the awkwardness off. If he's looking for a date..... Hinshu allowed the thought to trail off in his mind and shivered a little.

Akemi stomped down to the training grounds. "OH, SENSEI~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU!?!?" He shouted, wanting to train in the worst way.

Sachi rubbed her ear. "Jeez, kid, pipe down." She said to Akemi.

"I know, but I know know, i will find a way to pass," Zoro countered.

"Yeah, we will pass, we won't go back to the academy, that would be to lame," Nami said agreeing.

"Yeah, okay. But you still have to do your challenge." Sachi said. "Your challenge will be the same one that MY sensei gave to me and my team." She pulled out two bells. "It's simple, really. Just take a bell from me. Come at me full-force, with everything that you have, with the intent to kill. Whoever gets a bell, passes. You have until noon." She nodded. "Any questions?"

Why are there only two bells? Hinshu wondered, but didn't speak. He simply nodded.

"Yeah, why the heck are there just two bells, and three of us," Zoro said with a straight face, "if you wanted us to all have a chance to pass you would of had 3 bells, so what is the deal?"

"Well, I guess one of you isn't passing, then." Sachi chuckled. "And whoever doesn't will be tied up to that stump over there," She pointed, "and won't get any lunch. Sucks to be that person...." She mused a moment and tied the bells to her belt loop. "Are there any more questions?" She asked.

Hinshu just sighed and shook his head 'no'.

"Alright, we have to work together, and we can get them, I will let you two have the bells, I had trained myself to deal with more then missing lunch, and I can handle going back to the academy more then you two," Zoro said with a nod quietly, "Hinshu what skills do you have?"

Hinshu sighed and pulled down his hood to reveal messy, short, brown hair. He pulled down the part of the mask that covered the other eye and activated the sharingan. The eyes glowed an blood red, in contrast to their natural golden color.

"Oh, and did I mention that if your sent back to the academy, you'll never receive a ninja rank...?" Sachi pondered, adding this as if it were an after thought. Her head tilted upward towards the sky and she tapped her chin thoughtfully.

"I don't care, you two will pass, I will fail," Zoro said with a nod, making sure only they could hear him, "You two will make a good team, Hinshu, I am going to attack from the front, and push her back, Nami, you attack next, watch your angle, and then I want you to attack, use this chance to get the bell for yourself, after you attack I will attack all out again, and hopefully give you a chance to get yours Nami. Ok, lets do this."

Zoro pulled out all three swords, one in his mouth. He attacked head on pushing Sachi back just a bit.

"Fire release, fire flame bird," Nami called out sending a bird of fire at Sachi.

Zoro pushed his attack on, hoping Hinshu used the chance to get the bells.

Hinshu didn't step a foot, and cocked his head to the side. Wait? She didn't even say that the test started....

Sachi simply twisted so fast that none of their eyes could catch and caught Zoro, twisting his arms behind his back and ducked them both out of the way of the bird. "Don't be so hasty~!" She scoled playfully. "Haha~ I didn't even say 'go' yet..." She gave a little 'tsk tsk' and let go of Zoro. "Now get back in line, you two, and wait for me to say when to start." She pointed.

"This is a fight, people do say go, when they start a fight," Zoro argued back, "Whatever, you say sensei."

Zoro got walked back with the other two, majorly mad at the moment.

"You two come here," Zoro yelled to the two of them. He had at least learned her speed from the failed attack.

"This time I will got all out from the start, I want you two to used the chance when she appears and kick the heck out of me, to get your bells. I can take it," Zoro whispered to his teammates.

"Can we go yet?" Zoro asked.

"Yes, but utlimately, it's a test, young grasshopper." Sachi chuckled and then interrupted their stratigizing "Hey, no stratigizing. The game-erm, I mean test hasn't even started yet~ Heh, heh..." She giggled sheepishly.

Hinshu nodded wearily. Nobody's ever given him this much before, without a cost. Just simply allowing him to have a bell when Zoro goes without made Hinshu have a sort of respect and understanding towards him.

"Aaaaannnnddddd...." Sachi started. "Go~!" She sang.

"Ok, the plan," Zoro said before flipping up his sword into his mouth, "Sensei, it was fun being a shinobi, this is were that ends."

"Sword of heaven, Heavenly blade," Zoro meeked out before charging at his fastest speed attacking Sachi with his most powerful attack.

Nami just waited for the right time.

Hinshu waited for his time, as well.

Sachi flipped backwards and kicked the sword out of Zoro's hand and when she landed on her feet, she caught the sword. "Oh, pretty...." She mused, looking it over and filed her nails a little with it. Taijutsu was her specialty, and she took every advantage of it.

Hinshu bit his lip from under the mask. Eh....What the hell, I'll give it a whirl.He shrugged and came at Sachi with immense speed, but suddenly, it looked as though he had passed her. Did...I miss her...?He asked himself. He doesn't REALLY know how to use his sharingan, because nobody ever exactly taught him.

Sachi laughed with her bubbly attitude and twirled the sword in her fingers. "Missed me!" She had actually just taken a simple step to the side to avoid him. "Hmmm....maybe you guys should go spread out and hide. Make it a little more challenging for me. Ya think?" She asked to nobody in particular.

"No, we don't we have to attacked together, split up we have no chance,"

"Same plan, be ready this time," Zoro said taking his sword from his mouth into his off hand.

"Two sword style, sudden wind strike," Zoro said charging full force again, this time before attack wrapping his arms around Sachi holding her in place as Nami moved in and started to grab one of the bells. Zoro knew what happened next would hurt, but he had to take the pain for these others.

"Ah, I see." She said to their fighting strategy. Sachi did a few handsigns in the blink of an eye and was gone in a puff of smoke, and in her place was a log. She sat in a tree now, swinging her legs off of the branch. She looked down at her belt and saw that both bells were there. She made sure to be in plain sight, though.

Hinshu swore in his head and looked around for Sachi, trying to use his Sharingan. It actually worked, and he saw her in the tree and pointed.

"I got it," Zoro said moving quickly, "Nami attack at your judgement."

Zoro speed up cuting the tree down with one slice, as Nami fire off a large ball of fire at Sachi moving in, as Zoro moved up to attack at Sachi with his two swords.

Raiden was taking his time getting to he training grounds. He knew nobody was in a rush anyway. As he got closer, he noticed Akemi was there. "Hey, kid," he said, throwing a wave and going on ahead.

Hajime watched quietly at the test Sachi was giving her team. He was especially amused by the fact that they were having such a hard time succeeding. "No matter how hard they try, she'll just keep on dodging it..." he muttered. "The only thing they can do is stick to the test... Kakashi had the exact same thing years ago."

Hinshu figured it'd be best to all attack at once and he hid himself and attacked from behind, kunai in hand, as the tree fell with Sachi on it.

Sachi landed on the ground, on her feet, without breaking a sweat and saw Zoro coming after her, along with a fireball and Hinshu. "Let's see..." She pondered allowed for a moment and then had an idea. She did a series of hand signs and from a river near by, sprayed the fire ball with it and put the fire out. Then she sprung out of the way of Hinshu and Zoro in a couple of fast bounds. "Better hurry up kiddies~! You got an hour and a half~!"

Hinshu didn't realize this in time and ran right into Zoro. He swore mentally and shrugged, trying to portray his appology to Zoro.

"HEY!" Akemi shouted at Raiden and ran to catch up with him. "Okay, what's this. Where's MY sensei, huh?! Everyone else gets to do super awesome sh*t today, but I'm being left out! What a jip!" He showed his frustrations through talking with his hands.

"This all or nothing," Zoro called out to his team, "Go with everything you got, now. I will not lose this time."

Zoro swung both swords around, "two handed sword style, supreme strike."

To Nami, Zoro had disapeared, "Ok," She said to herself.

"Flame style, Grand fireball jutsu," Nami called out firing a massive fire ball, "Shadow style , fireball clone jutsu."

The single fireball turned into 5 massive fireballs all aimed at Sachi.

Zoro appeared behind Sanchi aiming a well aimed two sword strike at her.

Sachi did a few handsigns and strings of chakra connected to all five of her fingers on her left hand shot out and connected with all five fireballs, which Sachi shot back in the opposite direction of herself with the chakra strings. She then spun around quickly and was now behind Zoro in a flash. "Don't let your enemy get behind you." She warned. "Leaf village secret finger jutsu!" She called with glee, shooting him in the butt (like Kakashi did to Naruto in episode 4). "A thousand years of death!" She shot Zoro into the air.

Hinshu looked a little grossed out. Did she seriously just....do that?

Zoro popped showing a shadow clone, the real one came out of the from the right, putting a hand on the bells, for his teammates, a smile formed across his face as he started to pull the bells away from Sachi.

Nami smiled at the move, as she dodged her counter attac, Zoro was the top student, when they were at the academy, only he could win this for them.

(The only things is, Zoro and Nami at least are far better then Naruto was at that part of the show, more like how Orochimaru, and Tsunade were when they did the bell exercise. Both ended up with one, and Jiraya ended up tied to the tree in that one.)

Raiden stopped in his tracks and looked at Akemi. "Listen, kid, I've got my own student to -" an idea struck him. "Hey..." he smiled mischievously at the memory of Akemi and Hajime when they were together. "Since your sensei's not here, why don't you join us?"

Hajime looked closer at the scene. He saw Zoro had already succeeded and smirked. Game over...

Zoro fell onto his back holding the bells in his hand, breathing hard, to tired to get up. The last try was everything he had litterally put everything into the last part of his plan. It paid off though, he knew that his attack would be countered prefectly, and guessed at from what direction he would be counter from and created a clone to attack hoping he was right. He was, which was a good deal of luck.

"You two get over hear and take your bells," Zoro yelled out from the ground before looking at Sachi, "Go ahead tie me to the tree, these two pass, I fail, like I said."

"Zoro, but you.." Nami countered

"No, you two pass, get over here and get your bell," Zoro countered, "My goal unlike yours is to become a swordsmen, and is not dependent on being a shinobi at all."

"It's too bad those aren't the bells...." Sachi mused, holding up the real bells. "Those are just sticks." She snapped her fingers and the two bells Zoro held turned back into sticks. "You see, those that you took were on my LEFT side....and at the beginning of the excersize, the real bells were clearly on my right..... Chao~!" She poofled away into the lake nearby.

Hinshu groaned inwardly and activated his Sharingan to search for his substitue sensei.

Akemi pondered the offer for a moment. "Hmmm....DEAL! Hahahaha~!" He chuckled and shook Raiden's hand. "Since you want me to be your student so badly, I guess I will!" He said with a giant grin.

please join my new rp Death ninja

Yeah, kid, keep dreaming... Raiden told himself quietly and then let go of Akemi's hand. "C'mon and meet your teammate," he said, spotting Hajime right away. Raiden smirked casually. Working with these two was going to be taming two lions in the same cage. This was going to be good.
