Defying Fate

21: Team Kurenai

"You are Kazama Ashura right?" She ask to Indra.

"Well, you've got the wrong person. He is Ashura," Indra said while pointing to Ashura.

"Oh! So-sorry," She embarrasingly said.

"It's okay, whats brought here. Kurenai-san?" Ashura ask trying to calm his self.

"Well, I actually wanted to invite you to also train my genins. We actually heard to Kakashi that you both are back. And he also said how you manage to change his team so can we invite you to our training?" She hopefully and frankly said.

She sigh a bit because she was really nervous.

"Well, actually Kurenai-san. We plan to ask you, Asuma-san, and Gai-san to visit your trainings. Since we actually had the week to rest and we both know it will be too boring to stay inside. It's actually fun to teach some genins," Kurenai stared them with a shock. What was Kakashi said before? It hard to invite the two? They are too lucky.

"But, Kakashi said that its hard to invite you," She ask. The two chuckle mischievously.

"Well, he ask for it. He want us to completely train the team seven to leave his responsibility to us. So we both make a little bit too hard for him to invite us. Anyway, see you tomorrow, tell Asuma-san that we will visit them the day after tomorrow and Gai-san the day after the day after tomorrow," both of them shunshin and Kurenai smile as if she won a lottery.

"We'll just gather some data so we can think of how will we train them," Ashura said.

She immediately tell the two about what happen today and all of them thank Kami for their good luck.

The next day, both Indra and Ashura went to Team 9's ground as the whole team was already there.

"Hello! I'm Kazama Ashura and this is my partner, Tetsuya Indra. We are here to train you for a day," Ashura said. Indra nodded to them.

"So Ashura-san the only girl in my genin team named Hyuuga Hinata. The guy with a mark to his face was Inuzuka Kiba with his pup partner Akamaru. The man with a shade is Aburame Shino, you said you'll gather information about them so I guess you already know their abilities," Kurenai's introduction. Both Indra and Ashura nodded.

"So this team is a tracking team. We actually find out that it was hard to think an individual activity to your group just like what we did to team 7. You are whole trackers from the kekei genkai of Hyuuga, Byakugan, Insect of Aburame, and a strong sense of smell of Inozuka. You are a perfect team of trackers so we decided to come up of a team activity," Ashura said with a smile.

Indra immediately enter the discussion.

"We only have two main goals to this activity. First is to track your teammates. We will leave you a certain place inside the Konoha. It means that the radius of your activity is not just only on your training ground but the whole village. The second goal was to find us. Thats how simple the main goal is," Indra add to Ashura's instruction.

"Of course although your main goal was simple, the side goals are not. We put seals, paper bombs trap and of course distraction. You all don't have to worry about someone will hurt since I know medical ninjutsu and we make sure that the place where we put the traps will be safe," Ashura added again.

"That simple? Hahaha Akamaru and I will best you all!" Kiba said. Akamaru bark and wiggle it tail.

"Remember this one thing, Teamwork is the Key," Kurenai said.

"So lets start now. Remember you only have a whole day to finish the task," Indra and Ashura teleport with Shino ang Kiba while Kurenai place Hinata to her designated place.

After that they Shunshin to Hokages's stone faces.

"Do you think it will fit them?" Kurenai ask.

"They will probably be force to work together," Indra commented and eat some tomatoes he just picked.

"How can you know? They are a tracker and it will only be easy to them to track us. Specially to Hinata's Eyes an-" she stop by the reassuring smile of Ashura.

"Don't worry, even with the Byakugan, they will still found this too hard without s teamwork. We design this activity to push them outside their comfort zone to survive and of course they need to swallow their pride first," Ashura said.

"Its not just tracking someone but to identify the real to fake one also," Indra added. Kurenai don't know what does the two did but she need to trust them.

Hinata felt too scared right now. She was in the middle of a forest and she don't know how to ask help.

She's trembling and started to cry because of fear.

"Na-naruto-kun, h-help m-me," she was crying and don't know how to deal this kind of loneliness and isolation.

"Why are you crying?" Ashura's clone ask as he appear to her front.

Hinata felt a bit shock but become more comfortable. Her heart beats so fast as if the guy in front of him was Naruto.

"Uhm..." a red flush to her cheek which make Ashura chuckle.

"You are strong Hinata. You just need to be confident to your abilities. Kekei Genkais has a lot of advantages and you should try to understand your own ability," Ashura said,

"B-but I-I don't w-want t-to hurt a-anybody," she softly whisper.

Ashura teleport her near to a cliff but had enough distance to the edge so Hinata will not freak out.

"What can you see? Don't use your Byakugan first," Ashura ask intently. Hinata stared to the scenery and tried to look for something.

"I-I see na-nature a-and Cl-clouds," she shyly said.

"Thats all?" Ashura smile and assure her that she can see it with out her power so she intently look to it.
