[Genin]

'Well, this got awkward...'

"You two don't need to look like I stole your lunch...Sit down!"

Both Hinata and Shino sat down before I sigh and lean my head against the tree and lookup. While I did that I discreetly checked upon the two spies and notice only Kurenai Yuhi is still observing us.

'Is she our Sensei? I mean we are supposed to meet our Sensei...I mean why were we sent home to have lunch when we just arrived at the academy, was it a test? Were we supposed to act as a team to pass, because if it was that then we are so screwed...alright time to break the awkward silence'

"Was that medical ninjutsu?" Hinata asked before I could try some lame joke.

"Yeah, how did you figure?" I look at her curiously

"I have seen the mystical palm being used before so that helped, plus I activated byakugan and saw your chakra healing him..."

"Okay, yeah I was using the mystical palm..."

'Another awkward silence!'

[Ping!]

'Well, I guess there is a reason we are given this break...'

I took a kunai out of my weapons pouch and threw it in the direction of Kurenai while jumping back on the tree and using my chakra to stick in place.

"Hinata Byakugan! Shino!" I threw some words to alert my teammates as I flew at top speed towards Kurenai while managing to bend the kunai slightly so that she won't be able to dodge easily. As she was stabilizing herself from the first dodge I threw some shurikens with wire attached around her while manipulating the shurikens to try and bind her. My hands flew through some hand seals and before long I was shooting a fireball right at our 'bound' Sensei. I waited for a second feeling around when I sensed someone running from behind me. All those years of training bore fruit and as soon as I sensed danger my body was already diving towards my right side as I escaped Sensei's surprise attack by a fair margin.

By this point, both Hinata and Shino arrived by my side and as I dusted myself, I explained the plan to them, "Hinata use your byakugan to make sure she doesn't layer too many genjutsu's on me and try to disturb her chakra signature. Her name is Kurenai Yuhi, the foremost genjutsu master in Konoha and probably testing her team. Shino tries to get some bugs on her and disturb her chakra network. I am sorry but that's all we know about your abilities, we will form better plans later...Let's go"

We each rushed towards Sensei from different directions, I went from the front and Hinata went from the right while Shino hanged back a little preparing his bugs for an opening. I hoped a little and turned my body as if preparing to go for a roundhouse kick before dropping and dowing a leg seep instead, she jumped over it but Hinata went over me to try and block one of her Tenketsu points. The hit almost connected but she was faster than all of us so she managed to avoid her blow by redirecting it away from her. Shino sends a swarm of bugs at her that managed to reach her and although she substituted with a log, I trust Shino enough to know that he must have got some of them through otherwise he wouldn't have taken that chance.

I looked at Sensei and was observing her when like always notifications went off and obstructed my peripheral vision, but seeing sensei relax I dropped my guard and looked at the messages.

'What the fuck does that mean...Zoey'

'...Zoey'

'Great…'

I look at Kurenai and she had a pleased smile on her face as she came towards us…

"Good work team 8, you guys are finally Genin's" Well that was a little confusing though...

"What do you mean Kurenai-Sensai" Hinata asked, 'It seems like she is familiar with her...'

"Every graduating team is tested by their Sensei in a different manner, the main point of the test is to test teamwork and the essence of what the team is allowed, for example, the team 7, would probably need to show teamwork along with some fighting capabilities as they are a frontline team, team 10 need to be able to contain the target and extract information along with teamwork. You on the other hand needed to show teamwork and needed to find me and do a positive attack on me as a team because you are selected as a Search and Destroy team..."

'Okay, that's good information on team 7's and team 10's tactics, but Uchiha Sasuke working together with a fan-girl and the dead last? Nope, there will be no team 7 this year...'

"So did we pass? Kurenai-Sensei?"

"Yes Hinata you guys did spectacularly, you don't need to go back after the Lunch! Although this time was given to us to observe what you do, but I jumped the gun with the test, you guys passed so it's okay. You can go home but you need to report to the training ground 8 at 7 A.M tomorrow morning. Dismissed!"

'And just like that she vanished, gotta admit she looks way better than I imagined when I heard about the rumors of genjutsu mistress's beauty. Anyway, what to do here… guess we will start slow.'

"Hinata, Shino, let's get familiar with each other's abilities okay!" They both nodded and we each described and showed our abilities the best we could.

------------Tobi's room 00:00 A.M------------

'Waaah! It's too late, gotta sleep. Mom gets too excited whenever she sees me with my headband, Dad at least doesn't bug me that much but I know he secretly wants to know about it too, all that walking on the wall is getting old pretty fast.'

I went to my bed and was getting ready to go to sleep when some metal in the shape of a sword suddenly appeared on my room's balcony. I quietly removed the sheets off me and tiptoe my way to the balcony to find an anbu with long purple hair sitting on top of my balcony's ceiling. I waited for some time thinking about what to do when she signaled me to come closer.

'Eh, what the hell! Sue me I am curious...' I went closer towards her and when I was in her reach she hugged me and said, "Thank you Tobi-Kun for everything you did!"

'Okay, what now! What did I do? Why am I hugged by some pretty lady...wait she is pretty right, I don't wanna be hugged by some ugly lady with the mask!!!'

"Take care and grow strong Tobi-chan, Hayate-Kun is waiting for you to challenge him..."

'...'

'...I need to learn shunshin!! With it, you can always have the last word...'

'Am sleepy' I went to my bed because I was emotionally tired, going through today was hell…

'Sensei's girlfriend sounded hot though, next time I see him he is spilling a lot of details...'

------------Tobi's room 4:00 A.M------------

[Ping!]

------------Tobi's room 6:00 A.M------------

'...Not what I was expecting from a good morning message, Zoey what the hell is this!'
