people stared at him as they walked back to the apartment, he had no doubt that he was quite the sight to behold, but it was still rude to stare at someone. kakashi just read his porn as he walked beside him. iruka was tempted to slime the man's book, but figured that would take energy and that was just something that the man did not have.

as kakashi was about to unlock the door iruka warned him about mayonaka and to keep her away from him so that he didnt get the sludge in her fur coat. the man nodded and easily rouded up the dog into the living room allowing iruka safe passage to the bathroom.

from his chair in the living room he could hear iruka cursing as he tried to get out of his soiled clothing. shaking his head he stroked mayonaka's head before commenting.

"i dont think he enjoyed genmas trick"

it was almost a full hour later when iruka managed to make an appearence in the living room. his hair still damp, but freed from the tar like substance.

"have a good shower?"

the glare he recieved told him no, smiling he decided to fill the chunin in.

"genma created that little technique with the purpose of trapping his own teammates after they made fun of him for having a crush on raidou when they were younger. the only difference was it wouldnt wash off until genma released it"

iruka's eyes were wide at that knowledge and silently grateful that the anbu hadnt decided to punish him in the same way.

the pair fell into an amiccable silence, going about their buissness only to stop to make dinner before returning to reading their respective books. iruka wished the nin a good night and called mayonaka to follow him, leaving kakashi to stay up for a little longer before he too retired for the evening. he knew that iruka was going to be in for a shock tomorrow.

*********

he wasnt sure if he was just getting used to the new schedule or if it was some cruel joke, but iruka was awake before kakashi ever knocked on the door. he'd already managed to get ready and shocked the nin by being fully prepared for the day.

"why arent we eager today"

iruka snorted before commenting that he couldnt stay asleep. kakashi nodded before escorting the man outside the apartment and locking up. it didnt take long for them to arrive at the typical meeting spot within the anbu training field. however iruka was puzzled when he saw the other ninja standing instead of reclining in the grass. looking to kakashi as they approached he asked.

"something wrong?"

"nope"

when he didnt get an explination iruka just sighed and continued the rest of the way to meet the group.

"good morning"

they greeted him back before genma had the gall to ask.

"so how'd you fair getting it off?"

he recieved a glare from the chunin, which only made genmas smile brighter. it was raidou who broke up the two fueding men.

"alright alright, we have alot to do today so lets get started"

looking to the older man iruka questioned what was up. when they saw them staring at kakashi he frowned and asked the copy ninja what was happening.

"mah we might be upping the anty a little today"

"how much"

was the bland reply from the chunin. the others watched as kakashi brought his fingers up and showed just a smidge. iruka didnt seem to believe him and the others couldnt help but laugh a little.

"i see he decided not to tell you, so i will. were going to train you today in survival skills"

iruka shrugged his shoulders, thats what hey had been doing all along so he didnt know why this was any different.

"at the same time"

ok that was different. looking around to the group of anbu he couldnt help but sputter.

"at the same time? there's no way i'll last against all of you attacking at once"

kurenai plactated the man saying that they were going to give iruka a head start just like he would be given in his jounin exam. when the time was up they would start to hunt for him and let things proceed however they saw fit. still iruka was just gaping at them. kakashi put his hand on the teachers shoulder.

"mah it will be fine"

"your going to use the sharingan arent you?"

"yep"

iruka groaned, looking up to the sky he didnt know why he had thought today might be good. it was obvious they were trying to kill him.

"what happens if you catch me?"

"you lose a point in your final score, it you land a hit or trap us somehow you get a point"

"your scoring me now?"

"just like in the exam"

sighing iruka nodded, he supposed it was better he have somewhat of a trial run than to go in completely blind when it came time for the real thing.

"alright iruka, go get ready, you get ten minutes"

iruka nodded and quickly darted off into the forest leaving the team of anbu to wait the required time.

"so how hard are we going to push him today?"

asuma asked kakashi, the copy nin just smiled as he lifted up his hitae exposing the sharingan eye.

"he's propably going to want to call in tomorrow"

was the only response they got, nodding their heads they waited a few minutes more before starting the chase.

*******

iruka was hiding in the tree's, well not in them, but amongst them. he wasnt a fool he knew that using his kekkai genkai over and over again would just get him 'killed' in this little game. he'd tire too easily and propably fall face first into one of his enemies for the day. so he had managed to set as many different traps as he could. he was just hoping to avoid getting caught in a genjitsu, he knew they werent about to just let him go if they caught him in one of those, it would be a training exercise to see how long it took him to break free.

hearing an explosive tag go off, he could only hope that he had earned a point with that one. swiveling his head around when he heard movement, iruka quickly melded into the tree he had been hiding behind. not even a moment later genma landed on the tree and looked around as if waiting for something. iruka kept his concentration on his kekkai genkai, the last thing he wanted was to fall out of the tree onto genma. that would definatly lose him a point. instead he readied a kunai and prepared to sneak up on the man. phasing through the tree behind genma, he hid his chakra and was about to place the knife to the nin's back when crashing from about forced him to jump to a neighboring tree. raidou just waved at him. well shit they were working together. racing to the left he wasnt surprised when the ninja followed him. doing the only thing he could think of, he through a smoke bomb and phased into the tree infront of him. staying hidden he watched as they searched the area, before they moved on. sighing iruka allowed himself to come out of hiding. taking a breather he pulled out some ninja wire and prepared another trap. if he could set up a little base for himself and stick to the trees when they got to close maybe he could trap them over and over again without them getting close enough to make a hit on him. it wasnt a solid plan, but it was all he had. laying the last of the wire iruka smiled at his handy work. deciding it was worth a shot, he stopped hiding his chakra and activated the trap. he knew he was practically doing the equivalent of jumping up and down and saying hit me, but it was the only way to test his little theory. stepping into the shadows he waited. it wasnt long before asuma and kurenai showed up. they saw the trap and easily avoided the wires,shaking their heads at the same time at the obvious mess left by iruka. smiling iruka pulled on the wire in his hand and the trap sprang into action. the coils on the ground that had looked like a random mess shot up into the sky and wrapped around neighboring trees before pulling tight around its captives. asuma was cursing as he was suspended by the coils. kurenai let out a laugh as she tried to untangle herself.

"two points iruka"

smiling he darted further into the forest, he wasnt about to stick around for them to get loose. panting a bit he leaned against a tree, resting his back there as he collected his thoughts. he was at a distinct dissadvantage. they were using their anbu skills to blend into the forest completely he couldnt sense anyone around him, but he knew they had to be close if not already watching him. trying to think of what to do next he narrowly avoided the kunai aimed for his head, instead ducking and bolting to the next tree he was about to phase when he crashed harshly into the bark and was held there.

"lose a point"

cursing he waited for the ninja to let him go. turning around he stared a the mismatched eyes that were smiling at him.

"get going"

nodding, iruka phased into the tree instead of jumping away. leaving kakashi to watch the man dissapear again. kakashi couldnt help but be fascinated by the man's ability. looking around he wasnt surprised when he saw nothing. if iruka was smart he would get as far away as he could before coming out of the trees. launching himself back into the tree tops he started the hunt again.

this continued for some time, iruka planning traps and evading them when they got too close, he didnt gain any more points but he also didnt lose any after his encounter with kakashi. he was beginning to tire though. he'd already used his his phasing too much and it was beginning to show in how he moved about.

twisting around he barely got his kunai up in time to block raidou's own weapon, but had to jump away before he could kick in him the chest. panting he stared at the man with narrowed eyes before glancing around.

"where's genma?"

raidou just smiled, frowning he bolted, only to have to suddenly jump out of the way as genma appeared in front of him without warning. instead of phasing though, while he was mid jump he was able to reach out use his foot to kick off of the back of genmas head as he continued through the forest. he could hear raidou laughing as he vanished. then genmas angry voice calling out.

"one point"

smiling he kept running until his legs were beginning to shake. he didnt know how much longer he'd be able to play their little game. it was already past noon and he had no illusions that they werent going to stop for lunch. he'd have to use what little fuel he had left from breakfast to keep moving. landing on a tree branch he crouched to give his legs a breather. looking all around he couldnt help but wonder what the real test would be like. how was he going to be able to hunt for food while he was being hunted like this? there was just no way he was going to be sleeping during the test let alone getting a chance to eat. his thoughts were broken by the sounds of birds suddenly leaving the tree tops. frowning he looked up to see the flock of birds going over head. someone was near by. keeping himself low to the branch he was balancing on he waited for an attack. but nothing happened. allowing himself to stand he was about to launch off of the branch when he felt a knife to this throat. groaning he waited for it to move away before turning to see who had caught him. asuma smiled at him

"lose a point"

nodding his head iruka was about to jump down to the forest floor to keep going when he twisted to find kurenai right behind him. knowing instantly what she was up too he closed his eyes and fell from the branch. landing on the ground he bolted into the cover of the bushes. catching his breath a moment he watched as she let the jutsu go that had managed to get cast on her lover instead of him. smiling he waited and sure enough she sighed out a 'point' nodding his head he crept backwards before allowing himself to phase into a nearby tree to distance himself from the anbu. allowing himself a little respite inside the saftey of the tree's he wasnt sure what to do now, they were closing in on him faster and faster that didnt leave him any time to set traps. they were trying to force him out into the open to fight hand to hand. something he knew he would fail at. knowing he had wasted enough time and far too much chakra hiding in the saftey of the tree, he phased out of it and looked around. then an idea struck him. smiling he darted across the branches and head back to the beginning. racing through them it wasnt long before he could hear people following him. weaving in and out of the tree's and phasing right through others that his enemies would have to go around bought him some time. enough time for him to lead them back into his original field of traps. he easily avoided them,but could hear the anbu skid to a stop as they nearly set one off. hunkering down out of sight he waited. he could hear someone dismantaling one of his traps and pouted for a moment before another idea struck him. peaking his head out he could see kakashi about to cut the correct wire to disengage the trap. whistling he caught the nin's attention before throwing his own weapon to detonate the trap with kakashi in the middle of it. pulling back into the bushes he couldnt help but laugh as kakashi found himself dragged into the ground up to his neck. turning to run he heard the 'point' from the other nin as he struggled to remove himself from the hard earth. knowing he was ahead of them in points he couldnt help but feel somewhat relieved at that. sure he had managed to get caught a couple of times. but so far he was holding his own. as if kami himself decided to strike down the non believer iruka was suddenly hit from behind and went crashing into a tree, making a dent in the bark as he fell to the ground below. he was able to catch himself before colliding with the ground but he was seriously winded from the blow.

"lose a point"

nodding his head he tried to catch his breath when he heard footsteps coming his way. cursing he looked around to see genma and raidou approaching after already making him lose a point. so he did the only thing he could do, he phased. his chakra by now was dropping radically every time he did so, but when there was no other escape option he felt he had no choice. carrying himself through to another set of tree's further away from the duo, he phased out and leaned heavily against the tree. he was sweating fiercly and he couldnt control his breathing, which he was sure was just going to give him away. he knew he had maybe two more phases in him before he'd be screwed. he'd have to plan them carefully or risk losing the ability to run from his wannabe captors.

coming to stand under his own power, he winced as his side protested the movement. raidou sure did kick hard. knowing he didnt have much time, he started to jump from branch to branch. he was just about to land on another one, when he was forcefully shoved against a tree, the impact jarred the chunin who hissed at the brute strength behind the blow. opening his eyes he wasnt too surprised to see asuma behind the powerful blow. the man was made of pure muscle after all.

"lose a point"

he released the man in front of him and reguarded iruka for a second as the chunin quickly took off through the forest. iruka was tired, that much was obvious, but he was also skilled at hiding his chakra levels. there was no way to know just how low the man truly was, unless they could somehow force him to use a large enough amount of chakra to be sensed. waiting for kurenai to land beside him he commented.

"he's getting tired, he should have seen that coming"

she nodded her head, they didnt know the mans limits when it came to training this hard, there was no telling when his chakra would be depleted and if the man would try to keep going, which was not reccomended.

"we should warn the others, we dont want to land him in the hospital"

nodding they took off to warn their teammates. it didnt take long to find them. once they had joined together asuma told them of his findings. it was kakashi who spoke out.

"one more offensive, then we call it a day"

nodding their heads, they each raced off into different directions to try and find the evasive teacher. iruka on the other hand was getting confused. the attacks against him had spiked one after another and now this long gap. he was greatful for the chance to catch his breath, but it also made him very paranoid. what were they up too? placing another tag on a tree he prepared to leave the area when he could hear movement from just up ahead. ducking behind the tree he'd just targeted for an explosion, he waited. the noise passed and he was allowed to come out of hiding to bolt the opposite direction. he smiled when he heard the explosion, and wondered if he would get another point for creativity.

coughing, kakashi shook his head to dull the ringing in his ears he had to give iruka credit, he was definatly creative with the use of tags and wire. jumping to another branch of the now leaning tree he scouted out the area and let the sharingan do its job. search for movement. it spun in its socket as it swept from one side of the forest to the other before finally finding movement off in the distance. smiling beneath his mask he made his way to catch up with chunin.

iruka had just put together another trap when he heard movement from behind him, not chansing it he cursed and phased into the tree just as an enemy landed. he heard them mutter about stupid tree's, smiling he watched as genma turned around and told raidou that he'd gone and hid in a tree again. he waited for them to leave before falling to his hands and knees on the branch panting. he didnt think he could phase again, this was more than he'd ever done especially all in one day. he vaguelly heard a couple traps go off at once, he knew instinctivly that he hadnt caught anyone if they went off that fast in succesion. forcing himself to his feet he swayed a bit until he could regain his balance and focus his chakra on his feet to hold him in place. sighing at his limitations, he looked around to see if there was any movement. all was quiet. smiling he started to leave the area, hoping that maybe one of his newer traps would catch one of the anbu. he only made it a mile before he had to duck as kurenai swung at him, avoiding looking at her face for fear of being trapped in an illusion , he used her body language to determine what she was going to do next. sure enough she jumped towards him, her legs kicked out to catch her which only meant one thing. she was going to use her arms to try and hit him somehow. rolling to the side he heard the branch crack as he barely made it to another tree in time. deciding it was now or never he threw some kunai and ran for the bulk of the tree. he mustered up what chakra he had left and phased right through the tree to avoid her weapons aimed at his back. he made it through, he could see the sky, and then he was falling.

"asuma!"

he wondered vaguelly what was wrong with asuma, had one of his traps hurt the ninja? he didnt think they would but maybe he had been wrong, he grunted as he fell through the branches of the large tree hearing them crack and break under the weight of his body plummeting to the ground. he knew he should be worried, but he had nothing left to try and soften the blow with. he winced as another branch cracked into his back with enough force to wind the chunin. it was then that he realized he was no longer falling, someone must have caught him because he was up against a solid mass as it jumped up instead of falling down towards the earth. he let his eyes slide closed, he needed a break.

asuma heard kurenai's call and darted around the tree in time to see iruka start to fall, he wasnt able to stop the chunin from coliding with a couple branches but was able to prevent the man from colliding with the solid ground. bracing the smaller man against his chest he jumped up with the chunin in his grasp to land on a sturdy branch. kurenai joined him swiftly.

"is he alright?"

her voice pitched with concern, looking the chunin over they were relieved to see that he didnt seem to be bleeding anywhere.

"he must have used up the last of his chakra trying to get away from me"

asuma nodded, shaking the man in his arm to try and get a response from the comatose man. iruka groaned, but he still lay limp against him. smiling to kurenai he spoke a little amused.

"i think he's done for the day"

she smiled and nodded before using her anbu tattoo to signal the others to where they were. it wasnt more than a minute before the others arrived and started asking what had happened.

"chakra depletion, he didnt know when to quite apparently."

kakashi shook his head as he peeled back one of the chunin's eyelid, iruka responded a little which meant he wasnt completely out cold. letting the man rest a moment, they jumped down from the canopy and laid him on the ground before finding their own comfortabl spots to wait for the chunin to come around.

"so how'd he do against you guys?"

the others quickly told about their encounters with the chunin, they got the most kick out of iruka's ability to kick genmas head as a landing point and his talent at making kurenai genjitsu asuma instead of himself. it was about that time that iruka groaned again and his hand came up to rub his forehead. smiling they waited as brown eyes opened again and came into focus.

"did i win?"

they laughed. leave it to the exhausted man in front of them to be more concerend with the game than with his own health. it was raidou who answered the chunin.

"you did pretty well for your first time, minus the chakra depletion of course but considering you were able to hit us a couple times were impressed."

iruka frowned at that, he had hoped he would do better, sighing he smiled at the group and asked if everyone was ok. they replied by asking if he was ok.

"im fine, just a little tired."

to that asuma raised his brow and pointed out that iruka had managed to use up all his chakra to where he couldnt even hold himself upright in a tree and had taken a swan dive to the ground. iruka stuck out his tongue in response.

"hey i got away didnt it i"

"yeah you did, but making yourself faint while evading enemies wont get you very far"

genma pointed out, to which iruka muttered about technicalities. the anbu smiled at him.

"what supplies will they give me, for the test i mean"

"you'll have a normal weapons kit, nothing fancy, some wire a couple exploding tags a canteen of water and i believe two ration bars and maybe a soldier pill, depending on who is challenging you"

iruka knew in his head that the chances of him getting that much in his supply kit was slim to none but just nodded with a smile on his face.

"have you ever used a soldier pill iruka?"

kurenai asked skeptically. the teacher nodded before saying.

"those things taste like dirt, but they are effective"

"when'd you use one?"

asuma asked suddenly. iruka turned his gaze over to the larger man and replied.

"when i was training, with my team, sensei gave us a a survival kit and said to start running. not too different from what we did today really"

"kids arent supposed to have soldier pills, it could damage their developing pathways"

kurenai said in shock. iruka shrugged before commenting that it had come in handy when trying to avoid his sensei. the others didnt say anything, the more they found out about iruka's time with orochimaur the more they felt that the village had failed the man.

"want to go grab some food, im starving"

the group nodded and after getting a wobbly iruka to his feet they headed back into town. they ended up going to bbq and iruka dived into his plate with gusto much to the amusement of his teachers. they were nearly done with their meal, when they heard someone call out iruka's name. twisting around iruka frowned when he saw the girl from the interrogation offfice coming towards them. she was carrying a stack of folders and looked relieved to have finally found the man.

"hello suri, whats up?"

"ibiki-san wanted you to have this right away"

she handed out a folder to the chunin, which was grabbed rather suddenly by kakashi. the chunin sent him a glare before returning to his conversation with the girl.

"whats it about?"

she looked to the people around the chunin, she of course didnt know that they worked for ibiki and were actually more than jounin instructors for the present team of genin.

"its alright suri-chan, they wont say anything."

nodding her head the girl continued.

"we got new information about wave, some of its incripted so ibiki-san wanted you to look at it right away. so far the other transcribers have managed to get some locations out of the information, but ibiki-san knew you could get the information done sooner, so he sent me to find you"

iruka nodded and thanked the woman before sending her off, turning back around he frowned when he saw that kakashi was cheerfully going through the file he had stolen much to his teammates amusement.

"you know thats classified right?"

kakashi just looked over the file in his hand and smiled.

"mah you know as well as i do that i cant read this"

iruka nodded before holding his hand out for the file, and was rather surprised when kakashi stuffed the file into his vest. now getting peturbed he asked what kakashi was doing.

"i am ensuring that my student takes it easy after training. you had a rough morning, besides its your day off"

"ibiki isnt going to like that excuse and you know it, so hand the file over"

his teammates watched them bicker back and forth the chunin become more irate at each rebuttle the copy nin sent his way.

"kakashi!"

"iruka"

frowning he ignored genmas laughing and lunged over the table to try and reach for the folder hidden in the man's vest. all he got for his troubles is a gentle shove from kakashi that put the tired man back in his seat.

"see your tired"

"thats beside the point. thats important information"

"i think it can wait an hour or two"

"thats cause your always late!"

the teammates laughed, they of course knew the other side of kakashi, the one that was always on time to everything. iruka huffed, but sat back in his seat.

"i'll get that file"

"im sure you'll try"

scowling at the copy nin it was kurenai who interuppted them.

"now boys, im sure we can reach a compromise, kakashi's right you need to take a rest after expending all your chakra like you did this morning"

kakashi nodded triumphantly.

"but iruka is also correct, those could be important documents to the saftey of the village kakashi. a couple hours can change the course of a battle"

kakashi frowned as iruka smiled at him.

"fine, i'll let you work on this crap when we get back to the apartment, but only for an hour or two"

iruka nodded, he knew if he pushed himself he could have the thing translated in that amount of time. seeing the two reach an agreement, the team smiled. it wasnt much longer before they all went their sepperate ways, iruka trying to grab the folder a couple times to the amusement of the anbu as kakashi easily avoided the attacks while reading his porn.
