Chapter 1-Survival Test
Four ninja traveled down a path to the forest ground. The oldest was a woman named Rin. She had shoulder length black hair with aqua-colored eyes. She had a leaf headband on her forehead. She wore a Jounin flak jacket over her wrist-long dark blue shirt. Her pants and ninja sandals were black and plain. The three following behind walked in a horizontal line. Looking at them from the front, on the right was Arai. He had his ninja dog, named Aoiraikou, on his left shoulder. Aoiraikou was small with light blue fur. Arai had short, spiky silver hair, blue eyes, and the red triangular marks of his clan on his cheeks. He had a black long sleeve shirt that had random dark gray designs around it. He had black shorts with the kunai holster on the right side and black ninja sandals. His headband was strapped to his forehead by a black strap. Kuenai, the one in the middle, had neck length straight brown hair. She had brown eyes and the leaf headband on her forehead. She wore a pair of glasses, which kept her bangs that fall over her headband out of her face. She wore a plain brown elbow-length sleeve shirt. She had dark brown pants with black ninja sandals. She also had red wristbands on. Razu, the one on the left, had dark brown hair, and it was medium length. He wore a blue bandanna on his forehead and had two light brown bangs hanging over down to his eyes. His eyes were light brown as well. His headband was on his neck, and he wore a tan short sleeve shirt that had three black curved lines in the middle that overlap each other. On the back of the shirt was the same symbol, but it was three times bigger, which covered the whole side. His shorts were dark brown with four black lines going down the sides, two on each side. He had a white kunai holster on his right side, and it had the same symbol as his shirt. His ninja sandals were black in color.
Rin and her team arrived out into a nearby forest inside the village. "Okay. You three have one last graduation match before you are officially Genin. You have to catch me and tie me down. Any questions?" asked Rin. "No," Arai and Kuenai replied. "All right, begin!" Rin said, vanishing away. At the same moment, Kuenai and Razu ran to the other side of where Rin went. Arai ran toward her with Aoiraikou.
They came across her in a tree. "Came alone? That's bold of you, considering I'm not holding back," Rin said, forming out hand signs. "Watch out Aoiraikou," Arai said getting Aoiraikou away. Rin vanished and came up behind Arai. She grabbed him and tossed him into the ground. While Rin turned around, he got up and hid behind a tree nearby. Aoiraikou came up to Arai and sat down in front of him. "Let's go Aoiraikou; let's find the others." They ran out into the trees.
Kuenai sat on a branch talking to Razu. He didn't say anything in return though. Arai ran up and jumped into the tree. He landed on a thick branch near the two of them. "I tried to attack her alone, but she outsmarted my assault," Arai said smiling. Rin came up into the open field and spoke out, "Where did they go?"
Kuenai had filled Arai in on the plan, and they readied themselves. "She's up ahead in the open field," Arai said sensing her with her smell he previously obtained through battling her. Kuenai looked at Arai and nodded. Arai used the Beast Human Clone Jutsu to transform Aoiraikou to look like him. She looked at Razu after, and he nodded as well and waited. Arai and Aoiraikou ran through the trees and came up to Rin. Kuenai and Razu followed and hid in the surrounding trees. Arai was on a branch almost right above Rin, Aoiraikou was to the left of her, Razu ran at her from behind, and Kuenai came at her from her frontal right. Aoiraikou ran at her and Arai readied himself. Seeing Aoiraikou, Kuenai, and Razu coming at her from all three sides, Rin jumped up right in front of Arai. He pressed off the branch, launching him forward next to her holding a string. Arai tied her up, and they fell to the ground. Aoiraikou transformed back into himself. "Congratulations. You pass," Rin said untying the string containing her. "You will do your first mission tomorrow," Rin disappeared, and Arai sat down with Aoiraikou running up to him. "I'll see you two tomorrow," said Kuenai running off. Razu left also without saying anything, leaving Arai alone with Aoiraikou.
