TEST

The next day,

Yogi: You are late!

Yogi said to Akira who was slowly walking towards the training ground behind the Hokage mountain. Akira was wearing black pants and a blue jacket.

"I'm not late, you guys are just too early. Even Anzai did not come yet."

Akira said to Yogi and Onaga. Yogi was about to retort but Onaga spoke first,

"You shouldn't call sensei by his name Akira"

Onaga said in a somewhat confident tone. After listening to Anzai yesterday Onaga was trying her best to become more confident and less shy. But when Akira heard what Onaga said, he just stared right into her eyes with a cold face. Onaga was able to maintain eye contact for some time but then suddenly her shyness took the best of her and she looked down.

"Don't scare Onaga you jerk" Yogi said to Akira who was staring at Onaga. Akira understood that Yogi had a crush on Onaga. Akira also stopped staring at Onaga and replied to Yogi,

"I have been tolerating you all this while only because you are on the same team as me, but even my tolerance has a limit, you civilian piece of trash"

Akira said to Yogi who had just shouted at him. Akira was noticing the superiority complex of Yogi since yesterday. Whether it was Yogi laughing at his dream or scolding Akira for being late, it was all due to the superiority complex of Yogi. Yogi didn't see Akira as an equal team member but only see Akira as a five-year-old kid. Akira was able to notice this because Akira himself has a very high superiority complex.

Akira won't let Yogi continue having this behavior, because if he let Yogi continue behaving like this then Yogi would start ordering Akira and would also treat himself as the team leader. So Akira plans to destroy this behavior of Yogi right from the beginning.

"What did you just call me? "

Yogi shouted angrily at Akira and then he rushed towards Akira. Onaga who was on the side doesn't know what to do, she wanted to stop Yogi but was too anxious to make a move.

Yogi was about to hit Akira with his fist. But Akira didn't even flinch nor did Akira try to dodge. Akira was standing there with a calm expression. Suddenly Yogi who was about to hit Akira was pushed away by a dog that was as tall as one meter. The dog was white with black spots here and there. This dog was very similar to a Husky from Earth.

The dog was holding Yogi to the ground with one of his paws and completely immobilized Yogi.

Anzai: "It's been just five minutes and you guys already started to fight!"

Anzai said in an angry tone while he appeared using the body flicker technique. Seeing the sudden appearance of Anzai both Onaga and Yogi was surprised. But Akira wasn't surprised in the least, before coming here Akira had activated his byakugan once, and he had detected Anzai who was hiding nearby.

Akira knew that Anzai had already been watching them and had also listened to what Akira had just said to Yogi. This would certainly create a bad impression of Akira in the mind of Anzai. But Akira didn't care about what Anzai thought of him. Because Akira doesn't want to act like a righteous ninja who was a fanatic about the will of fire.

No matter whether it is the ninja world or planet Earth, building a good reputation was a very hard thing to do. Not only it will take a lot of time, but a good reputation will also act as a restriction in most cases. If people saw a good person do even a single bad thing then all the good reputation that person had will be gone in an instant. So it would be a great pain in the ass for anyone to maintain a good reputation.

Akira will try to maintain a good reputation if Akira was planning to stay in the ninja village for a long period of time, but Akira wasn't gonna stay in the village for a long time. The moment Akira gets enough strength then he would instantly leave this village. So there was no need to maintain a good reputation and act as a fanatic of the will of fire.

"Sensei I can't breath", the painful cry of Yogi woke Akira from his thoughts. Yogi was still held under the paw of the dog.

"Hara come back". Anzai said to the dog. Then the dog let go of Yogi and returned to Anzai. Yogi breathed a sigh of relief after getting free from the paws of Hara.

"Now I will tell you about the test that you guys will be facing", Anzai said. Akira, Onaga, and Yogi started listening to Anzai.

Anzai: "This dog here is named Hara. She is my best friend and also my trusted partner. She has the strength of a chunin. Your test is to defeat Hara before noon."

Akira was surprised to hear this, Akira thought that the test would be something like taking the bells from his sensei, like how Kakashi and Minato did. Akira spoke,

Akira: "This dog has the same name as my mother. So could you stop referring to this dog by that name?". Even if Akira doesn't care about his family, Akira still doesn't want a dog to be called by the name of his mother.

Anzai : *...*

Yogi : *…*

Onaga :*…*

There was an awkward silence in the training ground. But the silence was broken by Yogi,

Yogi:" HAAHAHAHAHAH, This is hilarious. You deserve it Akira! HAHAHAHA", Yogi started laughing and tears were almost coming out of his eyes. But his laughter was stopped by Anzai,

Anzai:" If you laugh one more time then you will be returning to the ninja academy again."

Yogi:" Sorry Sensei", Yogi replied while covering his mouth and forcefully trying to stop his laughter.

Anzai sighed and said,

"This really is an awkward situation, But Hara was… I mean the dog was trained by that name since it was a puppy, So it is impossible to change its name. But more than that you are a ninja, a ninja must have tolerance, So try to adapt to this situation and tolerate it Akira."

Akira:" I will", Akira said with a calm face. Akira wasn't angry by the mocking of Yogi nor was he angry at his sensei. Akira has very high control over his emotions and wouldn't become angry at these small things.

"Okay then, Your test begins now". Anzai said.

The dog didn't take the initiative to attack, but it was just standing almost ten meters away from Akira and his teammates. Anzai was also standing at the side of the ground and observing the test.

Yogi:" Akira you go through the left side and engage in close combat, I will be going through the right and attack from that side, Onaga you must stay at the rear and use the shuriken to do long-range attacks."

Yogi told both Akira and Onaga. Yogi had already considered himself as the leader of this group. Akira was also a little surprised by Yogi, even if Yogi acted childish all this while, but when it comes to actual combat Yogi was able to make a somewhat good plan in just a few seconds.

Akira:" ok"

Onaga:" I will support you guys from the rear"

After saying this Yogi and Akira rushed forward. Akira reached the left side, the dog was about to attack Akira but it was attacked by Yogi who was on the right side. The dog's attention turned from Akira to Yogi, The dog was about to attack Yogi. Yogi then looked at Akira, because it was Akira's turn to attack at distract the dog from Yogi. But Akira doesn't make any move and just stood there watching the dog attack Yogi. The dog raised its right paw and directly attacked Yogi. Yogi was flown away by the sheer force of that attack. The dog rushed towards Yogi who was still lying on the floor from the previous attack, but before it could attack anymore it was interrupted by a shuriken.

Onaga was standing at the back with a shuriken in her hands. She continuously throws more shuriken at the dog, but even though some hit the dog they weren't strong enough to harm the dog. The dog's attention changed from Yogi to Onaga. It rushed towards her at a very high speed and directly bit her hand and kicked her to the ground. She also wasn't able to withstand this attack and fall to the ground.

Only Akira was now standing on the ground right now. Both Yogi and Onaga were lying on the ground with a painful expressions. Akira was also surprised by the behavior of Onaga, there was no trace of her shy behavior when she was attacking. The dog then focused its attention on Akira and rushed toward him with a ferocious expression.
