The events of the invasion rocked all of Konoha. It was where everyone was put to the test and pushed to their own limits. Many people died, but they were soon revived thanks to Naruto, the hero of the village. He had nothing against him, but he felt like with guys like that there wasn't much hope for those like him and his team to truly shine. He was sure that some people thought that there was no point in trying anymore if they were going to continue to be overshadowed by him. He wondered if that was partly how Sasuke felt. He was the Hokage's younger brother, but he still behind his teammate when it came to power.

Arashi felt the same way sometimes. He was the son of Shisui Uchiha and the godson of the Fifth Hokage. His mother was also from the Senju clan. With all that behind him you'd think that he would be destined for greatness. He was still young, but the amount of effort that it'd take to surpass them now was overwhelming. He still didn't let it hold him back though. He was going to get stronger and he was going to make a name for himself. He didn't want to be known simply by the people that raised and taught him. He wanted to be a legend. One told for many generations.

He lost his train of thought when their sensei started speaking. He looked around at the three around him and wondered how this training exercise was going to go. He eyed the four bells that their sensei was holding. This was a modified version of the original test. From what he was told there were supposed to be less bells than there were students. It immediately made sense to him why teamwork was still needed for that. It took Arashi a minute this time to understand why they still needed to use teamwork to gain the balls. Even if one of them were able to gain a bell on their own it didn't mean the others would be able to get one and it'd probably be considered a failure for the whole team.

Then it was revealed that their sensei would be using senjutsu. That definitely made it harder for them. Teamwork was definitely needed. No one else seemed to want to start things off so he decided to be the first one. He closed his eyes and a small breath escaped through his lips. When he opened them his normal eyes were now crimson red with two tomoes surrounding his pupils. He didn't know much about what the girl from the Hyuuga clan could do so adding her to team strategy would be difficult. Maybe they'd catch the flow as things went on. Right now he couldn't worry about that.

Arashi didn't want to immediately use a lot of his chakra so he'd go with taijutsu for the jump. He reached into his holster and pulled out two single kunai. He twirled them around the index fingers of both of his hands before clenching and holding them tightly. He had secretly slipped out a smoke bomb from the holster as well and hid it in his right hand. He didn't know the extents of senjutsu, but he'd surely find out during this fight.

He dropped the smoke bomb and waited for it to explode and encompass them in smoke before moving forward to attack. His plan was to do an uppercut slash with his right kunai while keeping his left kunai prepared for a counterattack.
