Test of Team 2

'It seems as if this world is making fun of me... I need to somehow prevent my death and the death of my mother but I ended up in the team that one of the two men that would try to kill me in one year, was when he was still a genin. On top of that one of the idiots that would be the source of all this killings is my team leader...* sigh*... This is not a simple coincidence, it's more like this world is trying to balance everything out because of my presence... '

Ichinaru thought as he stared at Fugaku that looked back at him with a faint smile.

" Your test will be very simple, you have to force me to use my full strength, even if it's for a fraction of seconds... It's simple right. "

"But Fugaku-sensei... How are we supposed to do that you are a jounin? On top of that we are yet to be recognised as full-fledged genin like you said?"

"Tsurugi is right, Fugaku-sensei... This is impossible. "

After listening to the words of those two, Fugaku was displeased and was about to scold them, but Ichinaru intervened first.

" Oi! Shut up, you two... We are here to become ninjas and this is not a game where we can choose the easy mode... If we can at least force a jounin to take us seriously, even for a brief moment we'll end up dead on the first high-rank mission we get.

Also, Lord Fugaku told us only to force him to use his full strength.... Since he didn't give any conditions, it became a lot easier for us... So, instead of complaining, let do this together. Alright... After this is all about working together as a team right, Lord Fugaku."

Ichinaru finished his words by looking at Fugaku with a faint smile and threatening eyes hidden by his dark goggles.

"*tsk*... Just do as you please, also call me Fugaku-sensei like the others."

Fugaku said while sending daggers with his eyes at Ichinaru who simply ignored him.

"Now, let's get this over with."

Fugaku continued as he moved away from the three members of his team while being lost in his thoughts.

'This brat, there's something off with him... I don't know why but he seems to have a grudge against me even though I have allowed him and his mother to remain in the clan's compound... I save him from those retards of Hyuuga and I even decided to fight sometimes out of my busy schedule to assess him... But he seems to be opposing me from what I feel from his tone and aura. It seems that he might not worth my time at least in terms of attitude, but let's check his power.'

Meanwhile When Fugaku was moving away, Tsurugi and Reiji were discussing with Ichinaru.

"Ichinaru... Both Tsurugi and I have agreed to appoint you as the team leader for this battle with Fugaku-sensei... So, what's the plan."

"First, tell me your battling style and your ninjutsu, and then, I can think of strategy very rapidly before Fugaku-sensei decides to come at us."

" me, I'm good at using the clone jutsu, the transformation jutsu and the three D-rank fire release jutsu; Hiding in Ash and Dust jutsu, Flare jutsu and Veil jutsu... As for my skill in taijutsu and shurikenjutsu, there are just average. What about both of you?"

"Me, I'm also good at using the clone jutsu, shurikenjutsu and taijutsu. I suck at using transformation jutsu, so I can transform into another person nor complex object. But I'm more skilled in swordsmanship."

As if waiting for the opportunity to brag about his swordsmanship,Tsurugi immediate started to speak after Reiji finished.

"Okay, I get it... This is not bad at all, it will be easier than I thought.... Maybe if we do it like that, it could work... no, this way seems bette-"

"hrm"

"Aahh! Yeah! Sorry.... Me, I'm good at taijutsu, shurikenjutsu, and I have mastered the clone jutsu and the C-rank fire release: Great Fireball jutsu... Now, I want you to listen carefully to the plan that I have devised."

A few dozens of meters away from the trio, Fugaku was staring at them with a bored expression.

'What are those kids planning? Somehow I have a bad feeling about all this. Normally, most kids like Tsurugi and Reiji that can't keep their head cool, tend to attack right away or hide, but they are acting differently because of Ichinaru.... Maybe I should the initiative and go after them, and end this test right away...Finally, they are making a mov-What the hell...

Do they think that using clone jutsu will help them. It doesn't matter, I will end everything right now... I have enough of all this, it seems that It was wrong idea to do that job.'

Fugaku thought as he leaned forward and channelled some chakra into his feet. He did all this while staring at the position of team 2 that was now completely filled with clones of Ichinaru who had used the E-rank clone jutsu a few seconds ago. Finally, Fugaku released his chakra and covered half of the distance with just one step, at that same instance, the real Ichinaru threw a dozen of kunai at Fugaku's vitals with great accuracy.

At the same moment, their position was completely engulfed into white smoke that acted as smokescreen.

'This kid, I can't seem to understand him... He used a clone jutsu that only created intangible clones that I previously thought were to hide their position, but then he gave himself away by throwing those kunai. Then, he used a smokebombs to create a smokescreen to hide his position, this is already useless I was wrong about him... He's worthle- Hmmmm..."

Fugaku's eyes were wide opened as he saw what happened next as the white smokescreen suddenly turned ashen in colour, and at that moment he was only a few centimetres away from the smokescreen. As he used his left leg to brake, at the same moment, another dozens of kunai came directly at him forcing him to activate his three tomoe sharingan to dodge them.

'That was close, my instinct were not wrong.. Also this ashen-coloured smokescreen was made by a jutsu as It's filled with chakr-damn! Where is he coming from?'

Fugaku felt the something moving behind him, and with the help of his crimson eyes found Tsurugi's katana that was horizontally cutting the air very quickly, and was only a few centimetres from while five shuriken were aimed at his upper body from the smokescreen.

He ducked to evade the attacks and was ready to counter attack. But the trajectory of four of the shuriken changed as they were connected to iron wires and wrapped around him tightly. Fugaku was forced to use the body replacement jutsu and left a wooden log at his previous location to reappear behind Tsurugi.

"I got you."

Fugaku said as he aimed a punch at the boy who simply smiled at him without any guarding his stomach.

'Something is of-'

Before Fugaku could finished speaking Tsurugi was behind pulled to the side, thanks to a wire attached to his waist by Reiji who was now outside of the smokescreen and a shuriken was aiming at Fugaku's head. He ignored the kids and deflected the shuriken, and discovered that another shuriken was hiding in the first shuriken's shadow. Still this didn't pose any treat to Fugaku who about to deflect it when it suddenly turned into Ichinaru. The latter aimed a punch at Fugaku's head who was only a few millimeters away. As the fist was about to connect, Fugaku opened his eyes wide and it was filled with surprise and fear before disappearing.

" It's my lost, you have won."
