Here we go again

Yugao continues to walk away crying not hearing shingi's cry for help. Ryuuji appears behind shingi, grabs his head than pulls him out of the ground and let's him go.

"Thank you" says Shingi to Ryuuji. "Let's go see what's wrong with Yugao and try to make her feel better" says Shingi.

The team find yugao. "what's wrong",asks shingi,"you seem down". "ohh it's just that, kakashi made me think you and Ryuuji were dead", says yugao. Ryuuji began to speak,"how did he do that, I mean wouldn't you reconize a fake?"."well he used genjutsu and it seemed so real",says yugao. Ryuuji nods as he thinks to him self,"genjutsu? Hmm it seems so useless but it can be effective as I've been shown today.".

"I guess we should go find sensei now......" just as he finishes Kakashi appears in a poof of smoke.
"Turns out you pass after all, by consoling your teammate you finally worked as a team," explains Kakashi "meet me tomorrow for team 7 first mission.

The team walks off and goes their separate ways, Ryuuji walks home, takes a shower, than lays down. "sharingan.....it seems I may not get you but I'm confident in my abilities. I wonder what itachi meant all those years ago, you two will one day fight for each others eyes, hmm me and sasuke? Why would he want my eyes? He most likely has already got sharingan. Humph guess I will find out in due time.

A few weeks pass and the team has been training in there techniques, Shingi has learned an earth technique, Ryuuji has learned a genjutsu and Yugao has worked on her sword technique. They head to the hokage tower to try for there first C rank mission.

Walking into the hokages room they see the 4th hokage, minato namikaze. Kakashi asks for their next mission and in response minato tells him of a shortage of border patrollers. "understood",says kakashi. The group heads for the border of the leaf village but before they can get there they are confronted by two other ninja in black robes with red cloud designs. The man on the left pulls off his hood. "mizuki",says kakashi,"I thought you left the village"."humph kakashi I see you never change",says mizuki,"I am back to get that nine tails brat the 4th hokage loves so much". "even if you get past me the 4th will be a much harder opponent", says kakashi. "I know that and that's why I have my friend here",says mizuki,"some say he's stronger than even the 5 tailed beats"

Shingi stares coldly at the duo as he begins to harden his sand armor with his chakra. "You will have to get through us before you'll ever lay a hand on the fourths child." he says calmly preparing for a fight. Yugao sword begins to glow a faint blue and you can hear a faint crackling. Kakashi and the other akatsuki member disappear to fight. "looks like I got stuck cleaning up the trash" says mizuki as he smirks.

Kakashi and the unknown man disappears to an unknown location. Mizuki smirks than instantly appears behind the three genin hitting Ryuuji in the neck knocking him out than throwing shingi into a tree. Yugao attempts to hit him with her sword but fails only to be tripped than kicked into a lake. Mizuki laughs than begins to speak,"you can't lay a hand on me I am almighty!". Ryuuji gets up."humph your almighty at beating down children, but that's soon to be changed.". Ryuuji stands up than weaves two hand signs."fire style: fire ball jutsu!", he says as fire spews from his mouth catching mizuki and the trees around him on fire. Just as Ryuuji smirks. Mizuki's body disappears only for a log to take his place. "do you think that a skill as simple as that would catch me off guard?" says mizuki,"your just a runt, a lowly genin.". Ryuuji smirks than pulls an invisible wire ,suddenly kunai and shureiken come flying out of the trees one hitting mizuki in his left arm. The other weapons wrap around the burning tree behind mizuki. With another pull of the string mizuki is latched to the tree with no chance of escape. "what were you saying about being all mighty? Your worthless.", says Ryuuji as he runs towards mizuki with a knife. Stripes begin covering Mizuki's skin, his hair began to grow longer and claws began to form on his hands. The string that once held him to the tree had broken due to the grow th of his muscles. "hahahahaha!", mizuki laughs hysterically,"this form is... Undefeatable!". Mizuki disappears than continuously beats Ryuuji. "are you ready to give up yet and just let me kill you?", says mizuki still laughing. Ryuuji pushes himself up,barely able to stand," no, if I give up now both my comrades and I will die!", says Ryuuji with blood coming from his mouth. "you won't get any stronger in this world if you live only to save your friends, you know that?", says mizuki. "if saving my friends means I will be weak.... Than I will be weak for the rest of my life", says Ryuuji . Mizuki looks harder at Ryuuji, specifically his eyes. "so your from the uchiha clan", says mizuki. "how could you tell?", asks Ryuuji. "well no one else in the world could ever activate eyes like yours",says mizuki. Ryuujis eyes grow wider than suddenly he is knocked out by mizuki.

"You're going to pay for hurting my friend your traitor" Screams Shingi as a black ring forms around both his eyes and sand collects around his arm forming a giant clawed appendage. "This is fantastic I get the shukaku child and the kyuubi brat in the same day, the leader may even decide to bump me up to the main force for this!" says mizuki as he charges at Shingi. Just before he hits Shingi, Shingi hits him with the sand arm with bone splitting force into the ground. "I'm going to grind you into dust" Scream Shingi in his shukaku enhanced voice. He takes a swing and keeps pinching mizuki over and over until mizuki explodes out of the ground punching Shingi in the chin. He begins to transform even more and punches Shingi in the stomach so hard he doubles over and spits out blood. "Looks like I broke a few ribs and punctured a lung" says mizuki calmly. He punches Shingi even more then grabs him by the throat and lifts him up into the air. The last thing he sees before losing consciousness is a tri pronged kunai hitting next to them and a bright yellow flash.

"itching uchiha, what are you doing here?", says kakashi. "remember when I left the leaf?" ,says itachi." of course I do, I mean you saved the leaf.", says kakashi. "well the reason I'm here is to see the limit of ryuuji's power", says itachi. "well honestly, he's turned out stronger than imagined, he also carries a hate for someone, know what that's about?",says kakashi." ofcourse it's me, the one he hates that is. Anyways I better go it seems that minato is coming", says itachi. Itachi's body turns into crows than fly away.

"If minato is coming then something must have went badly wrong, I'd better go check on my genin!" says Kakashi to himself as he dashes to where they were last at.

On arrival kakashi sees minato flash into battle and hit mizuki with a twirling blue orb, than teleport away holding all three genin. Kakashi realizes the lecture he is going to hear when he gets back to the leaf so he sets and enjoys the sun that just began to fall. "I wonder when another make-out paradise will be released", thinks kakashi as he gets a book from his back pack.

A few hours later and they are all back in the village. "So I hear you unlocked your sharinga. Ryuuji, let's see it." says shingi as Yugao stands behind the two blushing.

"well you see I do not know how to use it, I would say it only activates during a life or death situation.",says Ryuuji. "oh I see",says shingi,"well I'm sure it will come in handy in a few months". "a few months?", asks Ryuuji. "well the chunin exams are taking place",says shingi,"there's a large battle midway through the test". "hmm I see, we haven't did much training. I wonder, the strength of the others taking the test", says Ryuuji. "oh well I'm not sure actually but not very many ninja pass each time around, usually only three or four.". Ryuuji's eyes widen than runs out of the village gate to begin training.

"Well he's in a hurry eh Yugao?" he says turning to look at her, she blushes and nods then runs off towards her home. "well I guess I'll go tell the homage about our mission" says Shingi as he walks toward the tower where his sensei awaits him.

Minato, our squad would like relief from duty to train for the churning exams, says shingi. Minato looks up with a smile,"well as long as its for the chunin exams, but you must promise me one thing, your group passes, you, Ryuuji, and yugao.", says minato. Shingi smirks than runs off to do some of his own training.

"Yes sir, by the way is there anyway that you can arrange for somebody to train me in my sand manipulation and earth jutsu? Since most likely Kakashi will be focusing a lot of attention into ryuuji's sharingan" asks Shingi

"well your sand manipulation no but your earth ninjutsu yes, head over to the Hyundai family, tell them I sent you there for training in your earth ninjutsu they will understand.", says minato. Shingi nods than once again darts off for some training.

A few months have passed, Shingi stands with his new sand gourd and looks over at his teammates. "So are you ready? Minato put a lot of faith in us." ask Shingi

Ryuuji looking ,only slightly different from when he left, flashes his sharing an on and then off. Shingi nodded. Yugao smiled with a slight blush as the three genin walk into the chunin exam stage 1.
In the room they take their seats in which they drew numbers to receive. After everyone is seated a large man begins to speak," if you fail this test, remember there's always next year.". The group is handed a test than everyone remained silent. Ryuuji knew most of the answers to the test, shingi was baffled by the questions and resorted to cheating off of the girl setting next to him, and yugao finished in a split minut of being handed the test.

The group finish the test without much issue and pass, after which the remaining teams are escorted to the forest of death for the survival portion of the exam. Shingi looks at Yugao "Man I wish I was as smart as you, I'm terrible at written tests, I'm sure sharingan warrior over there had no trouble." says Shingi with a small laugh.

Ryuuji looks over at shingi with a grin on his face and sharing an activated."with these eyes",says Ryuuji,"I can't lose"

"Yeah yeah mr.Bravado keep going. Let's just get our scroll and get to the gate, I wanna be the first one to the tower."says Shingi as they go over and get there scroll, a heaven scroll, and move to there gate. "you're katana sharpened Yugao?" he ask with a smile

Yugao seems to not hear shingi and keeps walking. Shingi face palms than the group heads out. "so far so good",says yugao. " doesn't look like anyone is open for attack", says Ryuuji. Suddenly the group comes across three ninja from the lightning village, the men were mid sized and dark skinned and with the intent to kill. As the men readied their stances the lightning village men were simultaneously killed by a single sound ninja. Both yugao and shingi had a terrified look on their faces but Ryuuji could only smile, he is now given the chance to try out his sharingan in battle. Ryuuji looks over to his teamates,"hey, your not scared are ya?", Ryuuji says in a joking tone. "what aren't you scared?", asked both shingi and yugao. "of course I am, anyone who wouldn't be scared by this is a fool, I'm just psyched is all",says Ryuuji. The sound ninja sends out snakes from his sleeves, the group dodges them but yugao tripped and fell unconciouse. Ryuuji activated his sharingan and attempted tai jutsu only to be thrown into a tree. Shingi begins his fight by creating a sand clone, all attempts failed he was thrown high in the air. Ryuuji stands up than throws a kunai which pins shingi aginst a tree by his shirt. "I see you have skill", says the sound ninja. Ryuuji smirks than begins to speak," and you have none". The sound ninja laughs, suddenly Ryuuji has his back against a tree and the sound ninja is staring him down as he stands only a foot away. " do you know who I am? I am the great orochimaru, one of the 3 great sanin,kid you dont stand a chance", says orochimaru. Orochimaru begins kicking and punching Ryuuji. "oh I see you have the sharing an how nice", says orochimaru as he continues to beat up Ryuuji. " if I give you our scrool will you leave us alone?", says Ryuuji. "so quick to give up I see, why is that?", asks orochimaru. "I lost everything before, my mother, my father, even my younger sister kanai. I have suffered my entire life because the bonds i had with those people were severed by a cold blooded murderer. I don't want to see than happen again, I don't want to see my trusted comrades die just as I didn't want to see my family murdered, so take the scroll", says Ryuuji with tears in his eyes handing orrochimaru the scroll. Orochimaru take the scroll than laughs,"I already have three of these", he says laughing. Ryuujis eyes grow wider as orochimarus neck extends than bites him leaving a seal on his neck. Ryuuji screams in terror, he couldn't move. Orrochimaru jumps on a newly summoned snake,"I will kill your teammates one by one but if you don't want to watch I will kill you first", says orochimaru as the giant snake begins to move towards yugao. Ryuuji quickly jumps but doesn't have enough strength to take on the snake. As the snake gets closer and closer shingi begins to awaken.
