Shinobies of Equestria

When Jetetsu awoke from his slumber, his neck cracked and stung. Symbolizing that it had such a great sleep. Okay, so maybe it wasn't the best sleep in all the world, but he couldn't have the mare sleep on the couch! He then caught notice of a beautiful aroma wafting through the air. It smelled of perfume. Jetetsu wasn't really the pony who cared for perfume but, it was amazing! Jetetsu sat up straight and rubbed his eyes. He then noticed that in front of him was a plate full of cookies!

"Awesome! I love chocolate chip!" He took several and shoved them down his mouth. He started to choke, but he was alright after a few seconds.

"You shouldn't scarf down like that you know. I mean, uh... y-you might choke." Jetetsu turned to see Haruhi sitting in the chair beside the couch he was in. She was the source of the amazing smell! She was just sitting, looking at him with content. That look of happiness made Jetetsu smile as well.

"So your still here, huh? I thought for sure you would leave me in the morning due to the fact I dropped you last night." He ate another cookie with devastating force, making Haruhi laugh.

"No. I couldn't just leave without repaying you. Oh! Unless you, uh, wanted me to leave." She frowned and drooped her head down low. Jetetsu thought it was pretty cute.

"Oh no! Please! Stay as long as you need! I insist!" He then was about to get up to get a glass of water. Before he could however, Haruhi gave him the glass in an instant! Jetetsu was surprised by this.

"Oh! Uh, thank you Haruhi. I appreciate it." He drank the water down to nothing in one gulp. He remembered that he never asked her about what happened last night to her. Better do that now.

"So why were you on the bench passed out last night? Is that just comfortable for you?"

She giggled but got serious again, "I don't really want to say right now." She was diverting herself from answering the question.

"Why not?" Jetetsu was confused on why she didn't want to tell him.

She stuttered and said, "oh! Look Jetetsu! Your going to be late for your meeting with your sensei!"

"What?!" Jetetsu looked at the clock, "Oh Celestia! Your right! I have to get going right now! Sorry Haruhi! We'll talk later alright?!"

Jetetsu shot towards his room and got dressed really fast. He gathered his gear together at an even faster speed than that. Then he said his goodbyes and bolted out the door and across the field towards the meeting place. Leaving Haruhi alone with the house.

He decided to walk towards the group when he arrived at the specified location. This was to make it seem like he was cool and calm. The meeting place was actually in front of the Sugarcube Corner sweet store. At first he only saw Rioku by his lonesome, but then he saw Asuna walk out from the store with two cupcakes. She, of course, had bought them for Rioku and herself. Rioku, however, denied the offer.

Jetetsu chuckled to himself after seeing this. He was now standing with the group after his 'cool and calm' walk came to an end. Asuna looked over to him.

"You know your pretty late, right?"

"On the contrary Asuna, I'm 10 seconds early." Jetetsu gave her a snicker. She replied with a face that said, oh your so funny, very sarcastically. And sure enough, ten seconds passed, and Senjee appeared before them in a mist. When he emerged from the mist, he started explaining the basics.

"Hello genin! My name is Senjee Shikamoro! But you may call me Sensei Senjee or just Sensei, is that clear!?"

Everyone replied with a yes sir. He then continued.

"As of today, you all are going to be put through a team challenge. This will determine whether or not you all are qualified to move on in the ninja world as genin!"

He then looked towards Jetetsu, "I understand you, Jetetsu Takahashi, own a very large field where your house resides, am I correct?"

"Yes sir, 10 acres wide and 10 acres long. I inherited it from my father." He then pointed out towards the west side of Ponyville. "Just right by the Everfree Forest." He then lowered his hand.

"Perfect! Then that is where our training will be performed from here on out, got it everypony!"

Everypony gave another yes sensei and followed him towards Jetetsu's land.

When they arrived, Senjee told them to line up so he could see what they brought to the table in terms of gear. When he was finished, he concluded that Jetetsu was really the only one who wielded a weapon besides a kunai.

"Alright then! I will now tell you the details of the test I am going to be putting you through. It will test the skills and abilities of the individual person, as well as challenge the whole group on whether or not they can act as a team! Now then, the test you will be put through is this!"

He pointed to himself and said, "If one of you can place both hands on me, you pass the test. However, if you cannot do it by the time the sun goes down completely, you all fail and you all get sent back to the academy!"

Asuna gasped at this, while Rioku only smiled. Jetetsu however, knew this was going to be difficult. For he had seen Senjee fight before, and it would prove more than a challenge to lay even one hand on him, let alone two! Senjee gave the word for them to begin. Rioku immediately went in close to hit him with some taijutsu. His efforts were for nothing as he couldn't even land a single hit! He kept on.

Jetetsu used this time to rush over to Asuna and try to devise a plan to get both hands on him.

"Asuna! Were not going to get anywhere with this if we keep trying to just charge him and hope for the best. I need Rioku over here for this! Use your clone jutsu to make copies of us three, alright?"

Surprisingly enough, Asuna followed what he said. She made three lookalikes for the team. Jetetsu then threw a smoke bomb where Rioku and Senjee were still fighting. Jetetsu then grabbed Rioku by the collar and took him back into hiding with him and Asuna. Jetetsu then told Asuna to send the clones near Senjee and make it look like they're huddling up. That will distract him for long enough.

She did just that, and by the time the smoke had cleared, the clones were all huddled up in Senjee's view.

"Making a plan, I see! Go right ahead! I wont bother you! After all, it's your time not mine!" He laughed.

"Great. It worked. Now he should be distracted long enough for me to explain my plan to you all." He looked towards Rioku.

"Rioku? I need you to charge him with everything you've got, alright?" Jetetsu pointed to a spot on the ground a few meters behind where Senjee was standing.

He continued, "I need you to drive him back as much as you can until he is standing above that spot. Is this clear to you?"

Rioku really didn't feel like taking orders from Jetetsu, but he knew it was necessary for him to become an official genin.

"Fine", he said with a reluctant tone in his voice. Jetetsu ignored the tone and nodded. He then turned to Asuna.

"When Rioku starts to charge him, I want you to sneak around by the marked spot without being seen and use a transformation jutsu to turn into a rock. When he gets him on that spot, I am going to use Ranga's jutsu to grab and hold him down. When I do that, I want you to change back and rush in to finish it off by placing both your hands on him, understand?"

Asuna nodded and replied, "Alright, Jetetsu!"

"Then does everyone know what they're doing?"

Both of them nodded.

"Alright. Then let's get started!"

Just then the clones dispersed. Senjee wasn't surprised, he thought they were huddled up for a suspiciously long time anyway. Then, out of the blue, Rioku appears and starts to fight him head on to get him to fall back as he was told. Jetetsu was waiting for the right moment to leap in and start the jutsu, but Senjee had to be on the spot exactly! He looked over and saw the rock Asuna had transformed into.

"Good, at least that part's done with. Now Rioku just has to push him back far enough!" He thought to himself.

Rioku then formed a hand sign and shouted, "earth style! Rockwall cannon!" Then from the ground boulders shot up and were headed directly for Senjee! Senjee however was not going to be bested by Rioku that easily.

He also formed a hand sign and shouted the words, "water style! Water wall!" Then out of nowhere, a huge wall of water appeared and formed a spherical wall around him! Jetetsu was amazed.

"He can make water where there is none? That takes major skill." He noticed that he was only about a meter and a half away from the spot! "Almost!" he thought! "Just a little more Rioku!"

Rioku continued to fight and fight, until the moment finally came! He only needed to make one more step back! Jetetsu prayed to Celestia that this would work! Because he was seriously out of options for a back-up plan for this one! Rioku continued with his assault. Rioku then performed one more jutsu to push him back that extra step.

"Fire style! Lava rupture!" Then from in front of Rioku, on the ground, the earth started to crack and slither it's way to beneath Senjee. When it was there it stopped, and from it came a spew of lava! Rioku made it to where only so much came out since he only needed him to step back once. And as he planned, Senjee took a step backwards to avoid the fiery liquid!

Rioku yelled out, "Now Jetetsu!"

"I'm already on it Rioku!"

Senjee looked behind him to see Jetetsu forming a complex hand sign! Then he noticed that he was standing above a marking! The marking began to glow a bloody red, and when Jetetsu completed his hand sign, he gave a yell!

"You've been played Senjee! This is it!

"What! You all planned this together!?" Senjee was surprised at the immediate teamwork they had shown. For it usually took the teams he had until sunset to finally act together as one! This team did it, and it wasn't even passed morning yet!

Jetetsu continued, "ninja art! Chains of binding!" Then out from the ground, around Jetetsu, appeared red chains that had a collar lock on the end of them. Jetetsu motioned both of his arms towards Senjee and made a fist! The chains traveled to Senjee and were successful in reaching him! They locked on and held onto Senjee's arms, haunches, hoofs, wrists, and even his neck! Jetetsu then pulled his arms downward, this made the chains pull him downward. He was now on the ground, helpless!

Jetetsu shouted, "Asuna! Finish it up already!"

"Got it!"

Asuna then appeared back as a human and started a sprint towards Senjee! She was about to make a dive in order to touch him with both her hands. Just as she did, however, a smoke screen of purple smoke emerged!

Jetetsu remained calm, "Asuna! No matter what you do, keep your hands where they are alright!?"

There was no answer.

"Asuna!? Are you there?! Are you conscious!?"

Still no answer had echoed from within the smoke. Jetetsu was beginning to worry that Senjee had gotten her somehow. He knew he was trying to make him think like he had escaped, thus allowing Jetetsu to call his jutsu off. Jetetsu was not going to fall for that though! He knew for a fact he still had him chained down!

The smoke was beginning to clear up, and Jetetsu saw a sight so surprising he couldn't believe his own eyes! It wasn't that Senjee escaped, because as he thought, he didn't. It was something he was still trying to compute in his head on how it happened and on how Senjee was able to do it chained up!

Beside Senjee, Asuna lay knocked out cold, and she had only a single hand on the earth pony!
