Chapter 5: The Initiation Test

 

Naruto and the other 4 walked through the town square, heading for the bank so that Naruto, dubbed Neon, could acess his bank account. They looked for the bank and finally found it.

 

“ok guys, I'll be out in a minute” Naruto said as he walked through the doors into the bank. The other four were standing out in front of the bank, watching everyone go by…they really needed to get the bandages, they wouldn't be ablew to fight if they had to use their cloaks…

 

Naruto came out of the bank with his money in his pocket. He had withdrawn $5,000 so they could buy what they needed. They had lied when they said they didn't take care of their weapons, they just wanted the man to think they were defenseless…what they needed were better clothes and items.

 

Naruto walked to the nearest market and bought the right lengths of bandages for every one of the demonic 5, he knew secrecy was important, but so was the fact they need to bind their tails in their clothes. Naruto walked out of the Market with the lengths f bandages he needed and he walked with the other four to the nearest clothing store.

 

“pick what you can fight in the best, but make sure your bodies are covered with bandages before you came out of the changing rooms” Naruto said

 

“okay” was all they said, and they split up to look for different clothing.

 

Hinata found a beautiful dress similar to the one Sakura wears, but it was a beautiful shade of blue. She had the bandages that Naruto gave to her and she walked into the dressing room. She came out with her dress on, and the bandages on her arms and legs. The bottom half of her face was covered by a feminine mask that was Light blue in color, the top of her ears were covered by a black bandana she wore, to keep people from knowing she had pointed demonic ears. The bandages were also under the dress, in case the dress got cut. They wanted to be sure that the bandages covered everything. She smiled and bought the dress with the money Naruto had given her. She put on her cloak with the hood up and she waited for the others

 

Kogamaru looked around in the men's section…coming across a pair of black leather pants…they were perfect for him, he also found a red muscle shirt that went well and a long-sleeve leather jacket. He went into the dressing room, and put everything how it was supposed to be. He came out covered completely. His face was the only thing not covered by bandages…well his hair was out of the bandages. He bought a mask like Kakashi's but this one was red, matching his shirt. He liked the leather a lot, and he looked at himself in the mirror. He paid for it and put his cloak on over the top of the clothes, so they still couldn't see his face.

 

Krymaru setled for the same thing as his father, but the shirt he had on was silver…he loved green, black and silver, his three favorite colors. He did the same thing as his father and put the bandages around his neck, with a silver mask across his face, if he needed to he could pull the bandages off his left eye, but he didn't want to. He paid for the clothes and put on his cloak, hiding his features.

 

Gaara settles on black denim jeans, with a brown shirt and also had a leather jacket. He changed his clothes, wrapped his neck and bought a brown mask over his face. He paid for the clothes and put on his cloak, waiting for Naruto.

 

Naruto picked black leather pants and a balck muscle shirt. He kept the jacket from the ANBU he killed so he didn't have to pay for another one. He also bought a black mask, like what Kakashi wore, and he put it on over his whisker marks. He bought a black bandana and put it across his forehead, covering his ears.

 

When the demonic 5 were done with their shopping for clothes, they put their weapons and packs back on their bodies. It took almost an hour to find what they wanted for the fight, so they had to go to the dome in the middle of the city…where the test was going to be held.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

When Naruto and the others got to the dome, they found out it wasn't a dome at all, it had an open ceiling, letting the sky and sunshine through. The demonic five stood in the middle of the dome, facing the chair where the Mizukage sat.

 

The Mizukage got up from his seat and said “These 5 wish to become Ninja of the hidden Mist village. The are homeless nin that have come to us seeking refuge, they are from the unnamed vegetable country's village…” the Mizukage started saying, the crowd was quiet, but some people gasped…because they had heard of the legendary vegetable village. The Mizukage started talking again “this is a test to prove their worth, to see their techniques and to learn what rank of ninja they should be. They will be fighting in a guantlet, one at a time. The test is to fight 20 Jounin in a guantlet, no rest, no time to recharge chakra, and no breaks. There are no rules, but one. That rule is, there are no rules, there will be a referee to stop the match if it goes too far…killing is allowed, but not advised…good luck to you all” the Mizukage sat down in his chair overlooking the arena.

 

The referee stepped out and said “first contestant, Vincent. Please step forward”

 

Gaara stepped forward and stood in the middle of the arena.

 

“will the other 4 please wait in the waiting room…up the stairs into the balcony” the referee said as they started walking to the stairs.

 

Gaara stood in the middle of the battlefield and waited for the first of 20 opponents. The 20 jounin came out of a door set in front of Gaara and stood in a circle around him, around the edges of the arena. The first Jounin came and stood in front of him. Gaara smirked under his mask when the referee said “first match…begin”

 

Gaara stood there…waiting for his opponent to make the first move. The jounin threw a smoke bomb, blinding Gaara momentarily, but the man had found an opening…or so he thought. Gaara's skin was covered in sand, like in the Chuunin exams, but he didn't have his gourd with him, he kept all the sand on his body, and he could draw it from inside the earth under him, if he wanted. The jounin threw 30 senbon needles in the smoke from all different directions…and waited until the smoke faded so he could see the damage.

 

The smoke faded and Gaara's shield of sand was around him, protecting him from the needles. “is that all you've got?” he asked smirking, even though no one can see it. Gaara sent a sand wave toward the jounin, trapping him, with his desert coffin. He started closing his hand when the referee said “next jounin” then he released the jutsu, ready for the second Jounin, who jumped in as soon as the first jounin hit the ground, unconscious.

 

Gaara smirked as the second jounin started doing handseals. He stood there in the same place, until the jounin finished his handseals, the jounin said “water style, icicle impalement jutsu” 50 icicles went for Gaara, but they were once again stopped by his sand “are you going to learn you can't hit me?” he asked as he sent a giant wave of sand through the stadium, trapping the last 19 jounin with his sand. He started closing his hand again, wanting to fill his bloodlust…

 

the referee was too late to call the match, and Naruto knew it. “Vincent, stop it right now” he yelled as he jumped from the balcony with incredible speed, hitting Gaara in the chest while holding a lot of his power back.

 

Gaara snapped out of it and released the jutsu, and muttered “sorry, I couldn't control it, I need to find a few wild animals, I need to sate my bloodlust right now.” Naruto helped him up. “winner Vincent, welcome to the hidden mist village, you are a special jounin level” the referee said as he tossed a mist forehead protector to Gaara.

 

Gaara said “thank you, I'll be back” he was surrounded by his sand and was dragged under the ground. He was off to sate his bloodlust.

 

“Next person, Bail, please come down” the referee asked, in awe of the sheer power that Gaara possessed…'if all these people have this much power, we can overtake the known world' he thought

 

Kogamaru jumped from the balcony as Naruto jumped up to it. They shared a look that said `good luck' and they broke it. 25 jounin came out the door and stood in the same formation as they did when fighting Gaara. The first jounin walked to the spot in front of Kogamaru “begin” the referee said as he moved out of the way.

 

Kogamaru smirked under his mask and drew an exploding note, feeding chakra into it, he made it explode in his hands. It created a smkescreen, and the men thought he committed suicide. The jounin were in awe of what they saw when the smoke cleared. Kogamaru was still standing, but not only that, his body was on fire. Kogamaru smirked, not letting the fire overtake his clothes. He drew the sword from its place over his shoulder, making the flames go into the blade, creating a sword of fire.

 

“show-off” Naruto muttered as he smirked under his mask “the jounin don't stand a chance”

 

Kogamaru moved with such speed that the flames flickered on his body, he had slashed the mans arm with the blade turned flames, and the only evidence of it was the third degree burns on the mans bare skin, the cloth on his arm had burnt off.

 

The jounin screamed in pain of the burns, but he composed himself he could no longer use his left arm, he started doing one handed seals. “secret jutsu, crystal blade jutsu” the man said as he moved his hand over the water and he withdrew a sword made of ice. He held it in his right hand and moved to slash Kogamaru.

 

Kogamaru smirked again and he flared the flames, making the man's sword melt in his hand. The flames were so powerful they burnt all 25 jounin in the arena. It made them feel as if they were in the bowels of hell. They were screaming in torment, but the few who had enough sense, started doing handseals. When they were done with their seals, 5 water dragons came out of the water, quenching the flames, all of them.

 

Only 5 jounin were left, Kogamaru smirked “attack me, only all 25 of you have a chance against me” he said

 

The jounin moved with as much speed as they could, they made their water dragons attack kogamaru.

 

Kogamaru smiled under his mask, it was a crazed smile, he only got it when he knew he was going to fight as he wanted. Just before the water dragons hit him, he put up his right hand, making the dragons stop in their tracks. The dragons melted and he started making them into 5 large waterballs. The waterballs circled him, like they were in orbit, and then when he got to the center of the arena, they went at a high velocity and the water turned to icicles, impaling the jounin through the stomach.

 

“winner, Bail, welcome to the ranks of the special jounin” the referee said as he tossed a mist forehead protector to Kogamaru. Kogamaru smirked and jumped up to the balcony.

 

Gaara was in the balcony, apparently he had sated his bloodlust, because there was blood dribbling from his chin. When Kogamaru indicated this, Gaara wiped his chin, looked at it and licked the blood off his hand.

 

“Next fighter, Sanosuke, please come to the arena” the referee said. Krymaru jumped down and waited for the jounin to come out…what surprised him was the fact that when the door opened, 50 special jounin came out of the room

 

“this will be fun” Krymaru said as he first jounin came up to him in a position to start the match…”tell them all to attack me at once, please” he asked the referee

 

“Sanosuke requests that all 50 special jounin attack him at the same time, he does not wish to wait” the referee called to the other 49 jounin. “BEGIN!” he yelled as he jumped away from the battlefield, not wanting to b caught in the crossfire.

 

Krymaru stood in the middle of the arena, with the 50 jounin surrounding him, then all of a sudden, Krymaru wasn't in the same spot anymore, he was behind the 5 jounin he had knocked unconscious.

 

The jounin finally understood the situation and they started preparing their attacks. Krymaru smirked, and his eyes widened in what could be called a frenzy, like he was about to kill them. The jounin saw the look in his eyes, and they backed away a little bit, not wanting to die.

 

Krymaru put his left hand behind his back, and used a jutsu he had invented for that purpose “binding jutsu” he said with one hand in a seal. Then chakra strings came out of his back and wrapped around his hand, binding it so he couldn't use it “ready now?” he asked as he looked at the nearest jounin.

 

The jounin that was closest smirked and said “your dead now” and he with 24 others charged against him.

 

Krymaru sighed and put his hand up, using no seals and said “Chakra Puppet Strings” making 5 strings made of chakra attach to the 5 nearest jounin.

 

“Shit! He's a puppet master!” one of the captured jounins yelled, before his body lost all of its own will.

 

Krymaru smirked again and he moved his hands like the puppeteer he was. The 5 jounin he attached his strings to started moving acording to his will. He made the 5 jounin he captured to attack the 45 that weree left, with only his right hand.

 

After 5 minutes of the one-sided battle, the 50 jounin were all either knocked out or too wounded to fight. Krymaru dropped the jutsu, and let the 5 he had controlled fall down, unconscious.

 

“winner, Sanosuke, welcome to the hidden mist village” the referee said as he tossed a mist forehead protector to Krymaru

 

Krymaru went up the stairs to the balcony, and waited to watch the last two fighters, Hinata and Naruto…the strongest of them all

 

“Next Battler, Wind, please come into the arena to start your match” the referee said as he waited for Hinata to come down.

 

Hinata smirked and jumped off the balcony, to the center of the arena. When she got there she was surprised when the dorrs opened and only one person came out of the waiting room.

 

The spectators gasped at this, this was the second most powerful person in the town….the Mizukage's apprentice herself. “have a nice match” the apprentice said

 

“don't worry, I will have fun with this” Hinata replied

 

“4th match, Begin!” the referee said as he moved away from the arena again, not wanting to die.

 

Hinata stayed still as the Mizukage's apprentice started getting ready. The apprentice attacked first with her kunai drawn.

 

Hinata, seeing it coming a mile away, moved out of the way, and put her own kunai up, in a certain way, when the mizukage's apprentice came to the place where Hinata had been, she fell down, unconscious. Hinata had moved to a certain extent and knocked her out with the butt of the kunai.

 

“winner of the 4th match….Wind, welcome to the mist” the referee said as he tossed the mist forehead protector to her. She walked up the staris, the next match was going to be fun…
