Survival Test [Part 3]

'From what I can see, Uchiha seems to be rather clever. I can tell he hides some of his skill set. Like a proper shinobi should. But even the level he shows is enough to label him a genius. The other two also show some promise, but not to that extent, also they don't have the right mindset yet. They do kinda remind me of sensei's Team.' Enma-sensei thought to himself.

A few moments later he noticed a flying kunai.

He easily catches the flying kunai between his fingers. He looks at my location.

"Oh, you seem quite adamant in taking a bell, huh? Throwing a deadly kunai when I seem distracted?" he said

"You are right Sensei" I was never a fan of talks during fights, but I needed to distract him "I need to try my best to get those bells"

I ran towards him, throwing several shurikens at fatal points, only for him to casually deflect them.

"You will not get a bell with that level of skill," he said.

Little did he know I had placed wire strings on those shurikens and was manipulating them. The shurikens change directions and pierced sensei's body... or I would have thought that if he didn't do a Tiger seal in the last moment.

He had Kawarimi'd with a log, surprising the two hidden genin hopefuls. I, on the other hand, could sense where he was going and a few seconds later jump kicked towards his direction.

This seems to catch him by surprise as he had to block, and I even managed to graze a bell despite limiting my speed to High Genin.

He throws me away and looks at me with surprise "I'll admit, you are pretty good. But if this is your limit-"

I went through 6 hand signs "Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger [Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu]", sending a giant orb of fire at the ground my future sensei stood.

He avoided the fireball by jumping into the sky, giving us a chance to use our plan. Akiko used a genjutsu to distract sensei, while her brothers' water clone Kawarimi'd with the bells, the original easily grabbing them with a smug expression on his face.

I could tell that sensei let us take the bells, the genjutsu did not work on him and also he did not move his body to disturb Seiryo's clone Substitution.

"Wow- I can't believe it, you guys managed to get the bells" he said

"Hehe, of course, we are awesome!" Shounen protagonist wanna be exclaimed.

"Yes, we are THE perfect team" his female half exclaimed with a smile.

"Is that so? But I have to wonder, who is going back to the academy? There are only 2 bells after all"

The duo was shocked so I chose that moment to do something. I went next to Seiryo and took one of the bells from his hand, the boy was still stupefied, so he could not resist.

I broke the bell in half and gave one to Akiko "Looks like we all have a bell now sensei" I gave him the largest smile I could, hoping he would let it slide.

Akiko smiled and nodded her head "Yes sensei since we all have bells now, we all pass."

"Yeah, yeah. Future Hokage and his teammates will pass with flying colors" male half of the duo seem to agree.

"Well... I guess I have to pass you then..."

"YES! YES! YES!" Three thunderous shouts of yes could be heard all over the training ground, even I was genuinely shouting, I wouldn't have been surprised if the twins turned on me.

I was afraid that they might have tried to send me back to the academy, and if that were to happen, I had no idea what would happen. All 3 of us would have probably be sent to the academy or genin reserves.

"Since you passed, congratulations, by the way, you're now part of the Team 15. We will be taking D-Rank missions starting tomorrow, but for now, let's celebrate with some Dango" Enma said

"That is so cool!" Seiryo exclaimed and his sister hugged him, planting a small kiss on his cheek. "Let's go Akiko."

"Yes, Nii-san." she said while hugging his arm.

'These two are turning more and more Lannister-like every day.' I thought to myself

-A Few Hours Later, Uchiha Compound, Daisuke's House-

*knock*knock*knock*

'Who could it be?' I wondered. I could tell he or she was at least a Jounin level shinobi.

I went and slowly opened the door, keeping my guard. To my surprise...

"Hello, Shisui-san. What are you doing here?"

"Hello to you too Daisuke-kun. I heard you passed your true genin exam, congratulations," he said

"Thank you very much, would you like to come in?" I said while thinking 'What the hell this weirdo want?'

"Sorry but I need to leave for a mission, being a Jounin means responsibilities. It is a long term mission, so before I leave I wanted to give you this," he said, and he gives me the sword in his back "It was your father's blade."

I took the blade into my hands, it was ninjatō, a straight blade around 50 centimeters. It had a dark blue scabbard and matching hilt. I slowly unsheathed the blade and checked its balance and condition. From what I could tell it was an excellent blade, much better than my current one.

"Try to infuse your chakra into it," he said

I did as he said, and to my surprise, "It is much easier..."

"Yes," he nods "The blade is made out of Chara Metal, it is a special alloy that makes it easier to infuse chakra."

"Thank you very much Shisui-san" I genuinely thanked him, the part of me that still belonged to Daisuke was ecstatic about owning the sword of his father, and the rest of me was thankful for owning such a useful tool.

"No need to thank me, it was your father's after all. Take care of it well, and have fun with the D-Ranks," he said before disappearing from my view with a quick Shunshin.

I closed the door and went inside, I inspected the blade more thoroughly before sealing it away in a scroll.

I went to bed, hoping that my new teammates would not complain too much about D-Ranks, they are an easy source of cash, something I desperately needed for the next step of my training.

*Sigh* Mendokuse
