Konoha Spider

1st test

As the doors to classroom 301 closed behind them the members of Team 7 were a little scared at what it was that they now found themselves dealing with. "What's this?" A suddenly nervous Naruto asked.

"I guess we're not alone." A meek sounding Sakura said.

"Geeze what was your first clue?" Peter returned in an equally nervous tone as Team 7 saw that they were all under the watchful eyes of an entire room jammed full of ninja from various other villages. "None of us forgot our clothes or anything did they?" He asked, while making a showing of checking to insure that his clothing hadn't been a henge or a genjutsu.

"Man I had no idea that there was going to be so much competition." Sakura said, as her eyes warily roved around the room in surprise. Offhand she could see headbands for Leaf, Sand, Rain, Grass, Sound, and Waterfall Ninja Villages. So many different ninja gathered together in the same place all with the same purpose in mind.

Team 7 was interrupted from their nervous breakdowns as they heard a familiar voice cry out from near another set of doors. "Sasuke, where've you been?" The Team turned to see Ino Yamanaka draped across the back of Sasuke.

"You don't think she's going to do the same thing to me do you?" Peter asked the others nervously.

"Come on lets go." Sakura said as she marched toward where the other Rookies were gathering around Sasuke. There was no way that she was going to leave Sasuke with Ino.

"Do we have to?" The others grumbled, even as they followed after the girl as she forced herself into the group.

"Hey Ino-Pig," Sakura greeted with a false sweetness.

"Miss forehead they let you in?" Ino said in mock surprise as she released Sasuke. "Still got those frown lines on your Billboard Brow I see. Personally I'm surprised that they even let you and Naruto in." She then turned to look at Peter sweetly. "Not that there's anything wrong with you though Peter." She added giving him a sweet smile and batting her eyes at him.

"No offense and all, but please keep back Ino." Peter said backing away from the girl before grabbing Naruto and using him as a human shield. "I have a Knucklehead, and I'm not afraid to use him."

"But think about what a connection between us could mean." Ino said with a smile.

"Would it help if I said you were welcome to Sasuke as far as I'm concerned?" Peter questioned hopefully.

"Not likely," a new voice said as two other boys joined their group. The group looked over to see Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi. Shikamaru was a tall and thin boy with dark pants an open shirt with a basic ninja wire mesh shirt underneath that. On his arm was tied his ninja headband, and his hair was done up in a ponytail. He stood slouched over, and his hands were in his pockets. Despite all of this though, his eyes were taking in every movement from the group and was assessing them and gauging their strength and skills. Shikamaru was arguably the smartest of the Rookie Gennin though Peter sometimes competed with him for the spot. In truth Peter was reminded of a man with brown hair and white streaks on the side wearing blue spandex and the number four on his chest. The number was in the same code language as he had helped to teach some of the code masters though. Choji on the other hand was equally tall, but he also had a lot of bulk. He wore blue shorts a green overcoat with a white line down the front with the symbol for food bandages covered his hands up to his elbows he wore a white scarf and a bandana on his head with his headband. In his hands was of course the ever present edible item, Choji was the only member of the Rookies that had at times been able to compete with Peter in feats of strength when they were younger. As they had gotten older though, Peter's bloodline had made him too strong for the Akimichi. The boy actually reminded Peter somewhat of an orange rocky creature. The fact that he was almost always with Shikamaru for some reason just felt right to Peter. Combined Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji made up Team 10.
