The Blind Eye - Kakashi Hatake (Reposted)

A New Team

I threw a kunai into the tree, as I'd been doing for the past two hours. I jumped up into a tree, flipped over, and threw twenty shurikens in different locations. I landed on the ground, whipping the sweat off of my face. I think it's sad, I have to spend my ninth birthday here instead of with my twin.

I was prepared to spend my day wallowing in my self-pity, but a hawk flew above me. A summon from Lord Fourth. I collected my weapons and sprinted to his office.

I ran through the building and knocked on his office door. "Come in," he responded.

"You needed me, Lord Fourth?" I asked the old man.

"Yes, I have assigned you to a new team."

"Again?"

"Yes Hitomi, you need a team to complete the chūnin exams with." He handed me a folder with their files. "You will be the fourth member of Team Kushina, with your jōnin sensei being Kushina Uzumaki and fellow genin being Kyo Sumida and Masaki Hyūga." I nodded, handing him the folder and leaving to meet the team on the training grounds.

I walked toward the training grounds, the one closest to the KIA stone right outside of the village walls. I saw the group, an adult woman and two teenage boys. Kushina, the woman, turned around as she heard me approaching, and began to speak.

"Great, now that we're all here we should introduce ourselves, ya know?" I blinked at the vocal tick, but I guess the Uchiha have one too, so I couldn't judge. "My name is Kushina Uzumaki, I like Dango and my loved ones, I don't dislike anything, and my hobbies are cooking and training." I nodded and waited for the others.

"My name is Masaki Hyūga, I like traveling, I don't like my brother, and my hobby is painting."

"I'm Kyo Sumida, I like training, I don't like people who think I can't do anything because I'm from a civilian family, and my hobby is training."

I nodded at the boys and began my introduction. "Hn, My name is Hitomi Uchiha, I like going on walks around the village, I don't like the way my twin acts around me, and my hobbies are reading and training."

"That's great, ya know?!" Kushina gushed. She grabbed me from around the shoulders, pushing me into their group more. "All right, we're going to be doing a teamwork exercise here." She paused to grab two bells from her flak jacket's pocket. "You're job is to get these bells." I nodded, having done a similar test when I was younger. She dismissed us, and we all split into separate trees.

I sat on a tree, but I didn't know the positions of the others. I closed my eyes, working on locating their chakra. I sensed a green figure, most likely Kyo, as the signature was different from any Hyūga I'd ever seen. Further away, I sensed the lightning, the signature of a Hyūga.

I reopened my eyes, Kushina-sensei was close. I jumped as a kunai was flown my way, and it exploded as soon as I left the tree. I took out my shuriken, throwing them in the direction of Kushina-sensei. She dodged them, but then I pulled the strings. As I was moving the shuriken, the rest of the team showed up. Two shuriken hit her as she was distracted by the team, but she dispelled, she was a clone.

"We need a plan." Masaki began.

"No shit dingus," Kyo replied.

Masaki glared at the other boy, before turning to me. "She'll be going after you since you are the youngest. How many jutsu do you know?"

"A couple of fire, a couple of water, one wind."

"Perfect."

We split off after planning. I jumped back into the trees, making a snake hand sign. Kushina appeared again, but so did Kyo. I completed my hand signs, finishing with a tiger.
