The Genin Test and the Beginning of an Adventure


Mina’s Dreamscape
Normal POV

Mina looked at the field around her. ‘Where am I?’ She thought as a figure dressed in anbu clothes appeared.

“We are in your mind.” The man said as he finally arrived at her side.

“What?! How is that possible?” As she said this she spun around to face the anbu dressed man.

“How is it possible that a girl from a different dimension ends up here in this world?” The man was saying this with a smirk, but Mina couldn’t tell due to the mask he was wearing. He knew exactly who she was, but he wouldn’t tell her. She wasn’t ready for the burden it would place on her mind.

“Wait! How did you know I was from a different world? Who are you?” She stammered as the man turned to leave.

“I am someone who left everything precious to him behind to protect it, but found something even more precious to protect along the way.” As he said this Mina felt an aura of sadness which quickly switched to one of happiness as the man spoke.

“Why aren’t you protecting that thing or person now instead of hanging around in my head?” She said as the man’s aura changed to one of sadness again.

The man looked at her with a look of sadness. “I can’t protect her because I died.”

Mina looked at the man, and she felt terrible. She didn’t even think about the fact that she was talking to a ghost. “I am so sorry.”

“It’s not a problem. You didn’t realize that I was dead.” He was frowning under his mask but managed to keep the worry out of his voice. He did not want her questioning nature to make him reveal who he was, but if she kept going she would get him to talk. She always did.

As the man turned to leave again Mina ran forward and grabbed his arm. “Wait! Who are you?”

“I’m a friend and a memory. Shouldn’t you wake up soon? You’re already late for the exam. ”

“What?!” She screamed as the scene in front of her faded.

“Don’t worry we will meet again.” The man said as Mina left her mind. He turns to face the meadow that was Mina’s mindscape.

“She will grow to be a beautiful woman and a powerful ninja I just hope she will forgive me when she realizes who I am and what I did.”

“She will no need to worry there”

“I pray you are right”

“Aren’t I always?”

“Sometimes yes, but the times you were wrong I lost my friends.”

“Oh I apologized about those times already. I’m sorry you had to watch Saratobi and his son die, but there was nothing that could be done. You where in another dimension! You left all those years ago to protect them. The same goes for Minato and Kushina, but maybe your granddaughter can help their son. Not only that but when you brought her here you brought her to the past. She could save them. Well except for Minato and Kushina, but she can still help their son.”

“Yes, you are right but I still remember what happened. Are you sure she can make a difference?”

“Do I need to hurt you Ryuu? If I didn’t think she could do you think I would have let you bring her?! No, I wouldn’t have. With our training she could be the greatest ninja ever. She could be a great rival to Naruto and Sasuke, and give confidence to Sakura.”

“Yes! You’re right. I guess I should relax a little and get this place ready for her to train.” Ryuu turns to start adjusting the scenery. “Did we give her too much chakra when we brought her here?”

“No, I gave her as much as I thought she could handle then the rest I’ll give her over time.”

“How much is that?”

“I think about a Jounin level amount. Why?”

Ryuu spins around. “You idiot don’t you think that that is suspicious?”

“No. Why? That’s about how much Naruto has…..”

“He is the vessel of the Nine-Tailed Fox! He’s expected to have that much!”

“Opps.”

Ryuu rubs his head and turns back around. “Well too late now. We better get to work on making this place so she can train.”

“Good idea lets get to work.”

Real World

‘What did he mean? Who was that poor man? ’ Mina thought as she rushed to get dressed for the test. She walked out the door and started heading towards the academy when an even bigger question entered her mind. ‘Why was there a guy inside my head?!’

Mina arrived at class just as the tests were about to begin. As she entered the class the whole room looked at her.

“What is there something on my face?” She said as she sat by Shino. Shino turned to her to answer her question.

“Well for one this is the first time someone was later than Naruto. Second, you are as pale as a ghost. Are you ok?”

“Oh. Yes I’m fine I just…..”

“Mina, why are you late?” Iruka said as he paced in front of the class. He was surprised that Mina was later than Naruto, but what worried him was how pale she looked. She looked like she had been indoors her whole life, but just yesterday she was fair skinned.

“Sorry I stayed up to late.” Mina was thinking about the man from last night. ‘Who was he? He said he was a friend but I didn’t recognize him.’ Mina was shocked out of her thoughts by a hand on her shoulder.

“Mina are you ok? You look really pale.” Iruka said when Mina jumped at his touch.

Mina rubbed the back of her head with a goofy grin on her face. “Ya, I’m fine Iruka-sensei. I was just thinking.”

“Well today is the test. Now let’s get started.”

Later that night

Mina was bored. She passed the test, but Naruto failed. She knew that Mizuki would trick Naruto into stealing the scroll so she wouldn’t interfere. Naruto needed to become genin so that they would be together on the same team, but something seemed off. She decided to walk around the woods to ease her mind.

As Mina was walking through the woods she was remembering the time she had spent with her grandpa in the woods near her house, and she thought about her future in this world.

‘Oh crud. Need to watch where I’m going.’ She thought as she ran into someone. The men were in ninja gear, but she couldn’t see a headband. She just figured it was a group of ninja from Konoha.

“Sorry.” Mina yelled as she walked away, but she suddenly felt herself being yanked backward as one of the ninja grabbed her arm.

“Oh. What a cute little genin. I wonder if Mizuki would let us take this one.” Mina noticed that the one who said this was taller than the other two, but also had less muscle. The ones he was talking to were short, but had a lot of muscle. One of them was bald and the other was red-headed.

“I don’t think he will. Radon, You know him all he wants is power.” This was the bald one.

Mina was about to call out when the tall one slapped her. “Don’t even think about it girl. You yell and I’ll kill you here and now.”

All Mina could do was sit there and listen. ‘I pray someone will find me soon.’

The red-headed one was about to speak when he suddenly vanished. He was behind the other two so they didn’t notice, but Mina did. ‘He disappeared in a pile of bugs. How is that possible? Wait! Shino is the only one that can do that!’

Suddenly a blur came through the woods knocking down the other two, and standing before Mina was a person.

“Shino, how did you know I was in trouble?”

“I was going for a walk and looking for insects when I heard these three guys talking. Well I guess two of them since I already took care of their friend.” It surprised her that Shino actually looked worried for her. Well the part of his face not covered by his glasses and coat, and he was looking at her strangely.

“Is he dead?!” Mina looked at Shino in surprise. He was being really calm about the fact that he killed someone. The only emotion she could see was relief that she wasn’t hurt.

“No just knocked out. These guys are being really careless about their defenses.”

“One of them mentioned Mizuki. Isn’t he one of the teachers at school?” Mina knew that Mizuki was the culprit behind this, but this part wasn’t mentioned in the show so it really shocked her.

“Yes, I think we should inform the Hokage. Did they say what he was after?” Shino’s face was back to his usual calm demeanor.

Mina wasn’t sure what to say. ‘Shino must not have heard them.’ After a while she just decided to lie, and give him the info about the scroll. It had been awhile; it was after sundown, so Naruto must of stole the scroll by now, and learned the jutsu.

“I think they called it the Scroll of Sealing.” As Mina said this Shino’s eyes got wide. She knew why of course. That was Konoha’s secret scroll. If they mentioned it by name then their informant must have been a Konoha ninja.

“We must inform the Hokage now. That is one of Konoha’s secret scrolls.” They had arrived in Konoha a minute earlier and now were running toward the Hokage’s office.

When they arrived at the Hokage’s office he was telling the assembled ninja that the scroll and Naruto had been found and would be returned shortly.

“Hokage-sama, we need to talk to you it’s about tonight’s events.” Mina was straight forward and to the point, so that the Hokage would take her seriously.

“Mina? Ok, come to my office. The rest of you are dismissed”

Mina and Shino sat in the chairs in front of the desk.

“What do you nee to tell me?” The Hokage looked worriedly at the two genin.

Shino looked at Molly telling her that she needed to give the report since she was the one that heard it.

“Well sir, I was walking around in the woods earlier and I ran into three ninja. I am not sure about their country though, but we did tie them to a tree so they should still be there.”

The Hokage looked at Mina stunned. “You fought three ninja?!”

“No sir I was thinking and I bumped into them. I thought they were leaf ninja so I apologized and started to leave when one, I think he was the leader, grabbed my arm and said that if I yelled he would kill me.” Mina tried to keep a calm voice, but she had been surprised about tonight’s events. They hadn’t even happened in the show.

“Mina did they hurt you in any way?” The Hokage sounded worried.

“No sir, after the leader threw me to the ground they started arguing about Mizuki, and the orders he left. They also talked about if it was worth it to give the scroll to Orochimaru. Shino saved me while they where busy. Are you ok sir?” Mina asked this because the Hokage had gone pale the second she mentioned Orochimaru. She knew why, but she still asked.

“Yes Mina, I’m fine you’ve given me a lot to think about. You two can go home now. ”

After the Hokage said that, Mina and Shino left the office, and Shino walked Mina home. They were both silent the entire time till Mina arrived at her building.

“Thanks for walking me home Shino, and thanks for saving me.” After saying that she gave Shino a peck on the cheek and went inside, leaving a surprised Shino afterward.
