29 9 rookies.

Kyouske was sitting on his relaxing chair, and on his head was a little cat sleeping.

Kyouske while sipping his coffee asked " I've made you a tiny bed, you can sleep there"

A tiny cat on his head said " I don't want to, I'll sleep with you in your bed, and your head is the best place for me "

Kyouske just smiled, as he was reading the new books Hokage has given him, he heard an eagle cry in the sky.

Kyouske knew this was Hokage's Jōnin summoning.

Kyouske just smiled but continued his studies, he got to know about, Uzumaki Clan, the clan that was said to be the best [ Sealing Jutsu ] user's clan.

A little later he heard the bell ring.

Kyouske opened his gate and saw it was Kurenai with Hinata and Kiba, welcoming them he told them to sit down in the living room.

As he was about to join them he again heard the doorbell ring, this time it was Asuma with Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji.

Kyouske also welcomed them, and they all sat down on the sofas, Kyouske again heard the doorbell ring, opening his gates first he saw Naruto then his brother, then Sakura, Kakashi was also with them.

All of them sat together in the living room, Kyouske seeing so many guests said " Ino come with me"

Ino nodding her head followed Kyouske to the kitchen, Kyouske smilingly said " Let's make some snacks"

Ino nodded her head, Kyouske asked " So is this about the Chunin exam? "

Ino smiled and said " Correct, Hidden stone and Hidden sand are the major players and we are rookies"

Kyouske raising his one eyebrow said " Rookies? ahahaha, All right "

After they prepared some snacks they joined in the conversation.

Yasaka was lying on Kyouske's head and glaring at everyone but she calmly went to Hinata's lap.

Kyouske seeing this asked " Yasaka, you like her ? "

Yasaka who was still on Hinata's lap said " She feels like my mother "

Hinata blushed hard.

Kyouske smilingly said " Hinata, she's 3 years old, baby cat "

Hinata nodded her head and gently patted Yasaka.

As the mood was good, Asuma cleared his throat loudly to get everyone's attention then he said " We gathered here today because you guys have been nominated to take the Chunin exam, this time we're having two more major villages as the opponent so you guys have to take care of each other "

Kakashi nodding his head said " Yes, we are strong but we can't underestimate the other villages' shinobi"

Kurenai was just smiling and eating the pancake Kyouske made, after she was done eating, she said " Kyouske, you'll make a great Husband "

Asuma with a tick on his forehead said " Kurenai this is serious "

Kurenai nodding her head said " Alright, Kyouske just take care of them "

Kyouske nodded his head and said " Yes ma'am "

Sasuke just stood up and left, Shikamaru scratching his head said " Kyouske, It will be a drag but do your best "

Kyouske smiled and said " I know "

Sakura while eating said " You guys are too close right? Ino and Kyouske "

Everyone just looked at them weirdly, Kyouske and Ino were serving them snacks, as if they were husband and wife and everyone else was a guest.

Kyouske just smiled and said" I guess so "

Ino's face just flushed red.

Asuma stood up and said " I'll be taking my leave, you kid's carry on " Kurenai also followed him and Kakashi vanished too.

As 8 of them were present Kyouske said " So we're called rookies? "

Sakura nodding her head said " Yes, it seems we're very young to take this exam "

Naruto who competed with Choji to eat more, while chewing said " Our team is very strong"

Sakura nodded her head, Hinata who was pampering Yasaka in her lap, while still looking down said " Our team is the strongest Naruto Kun "

Naruto with a raised eyebrow said " Hinata? " as this was the first time she was talking like that, otherwise, she would always mumble Infront of him.

Kyouske smilingly said " Well, it doesn't matter who is strong, what matters most is that we take care of each other"

Ino grabbing Naruto and Chojis collar said " Get lost, go train yourself "

After they disperse, Hinata was still sitting in Kyouske's living room.

Kyouske smiled and said " Let's go, usual practice? "

Hinata, Ino, and Kyouske went to a training ground, Kyouske was teaching them how to fight, and Kyouske also invited Kiba but he was too pride full.

Kyouske while pointing at Hinata's arm said" Lower, your stance needs to be a little lower, you're a little short take advantage of that "

Ino was doing pushups, then sometimes both girls tried to fight Kyouske in close combat but they could never touch him.

As Yasaka was observing from Kyouske's chest, taking a break they sat down, Yasaka said " Big sister Ino, I can help you "

Ino smiled and took Yasaka in her arms, after quarreling they made up, Ino apologized for her behavior, and Yasaka forgave her.

Yasaka sitting on top of Ino's head said " You're not like my Husband so be careful I'll help you " then she merged with Ino's head.

Kyouske just watched them, after some time Ino's head got an extra pair of cat ears, she looked cute, then her whole face got whiskers like a cat, then her nose also looked like Yasaka's nose.

Ino opened her eyes and asked " How do I look Kyouske? "

Kyouske laughed and said " You look like a human cat"

Ino hearing his laugh m punched him, but her speed was tremendous, Kyouske grabbing her fist said " Oh? you're fast and strong"

Ino gripping her fist several times said " I can't maintain it, Yasaka is saying I can only use it for 2-3 minutes"

Kyouske's nodding his head said " It needs too much chakra to maintain"

Ino's face turned normal and a breathless Yasaka appeared on her head, Yasaka just jumped back on Kyouske's head, then she said " It can only be for an emergency, I've to put a lot for you big sister"

Ino nodding her head said " Yeah, I also feel my Chakra drain like crazy "

Kyouske smilingly asked " What about Hinata? "

Yasaka shaking her tiny head said " No, she's not cut for it either "

After their experiment and training were done they went home, Kyouske trained them regularly before the Chunin exam.

.....

Today was the day they take Chunin exam forms.

Kyouske and his team went to the registration place, Kyouske almost got mad to see such pathetic Genjutsu but his brother entertained him a lot. He also saw Neji who wanted to fight him but he just ignored him.

As they were in the room full of Genins, Kyouske saw many old dudes who were there to take the exam.

As Kyouske was standing with all rookies, a late teenage boy came to them to show some Ninja info cards.

Kyouske just commented " Pathetic " then took his team and Ino's team with him.

A little later Naruto and Sasuke made quite a commotion.
