Prologue

This is your test, you are to try and get these bells from me

It was supposed to be a test

Says the guy that was too slow to dodge an erasure

It was supposed to be easy

Just charge and attack him and ill do the rest

It wasn't supposed be life threatening

Heh guess she was actually useful for something

It wasn't supposed to be like this

SAKURAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I wasn't supposed to lose her

Chapter one the test

Kakashi The silver haired jounin analyzed his newest batch of hopefuls with a condescending eye, first was Sasuke Uchiha, the black haired avenger was the last of the once prominent clan and his main desire was the death of his brother Itachi Uchiha and then to rebuild his decimated clan. Sasuke was know as the rookie of the year for being the best in the academy (something that he and any of his fan-girls were happy to point out or shriek to the heavens) he had great chakra control, nearly mastered his family taijutsu, and amazing aim with weapons, he was truly what a ninja was supposed to be.

Next was Sakura Haruno the pink haired self proclaimed love of the previously mentioned avenger, she had the highest test scores in the academy, has near perfect chakra control for an academy student (though Kakashi figured this was true because of her abysmal chakra capacity), and she has also captured the heart of the local village piraya.

Finally came the blond haired blue eyed Naruto Uzumaki, Konoha's number one surprising ninja, and container of the Kyuubi no Yoko, a nine tailed fox demon that attacked the village of Konoha 12 years ago for reasons unknown. Naruto's skills in the academy were nothing short of horrid having no chakra control, terrible taijutsu, and the absolutely worst test scores in the whole academy. As stated before he has a crush on the pink haired kunoichi.

Kakashi sighed as he watched his sleepy and starving (teehee) students from afar, he knew he had his work cut out for him if they passed, but he wasn't holding his breath. Between Naruto and Sasuke's egos, it was very unlikely they would put up with each other long enough to not kill each other much less try to pass the test together.

"Well I guess I should make my entrance". Stated the jounin as he used the Shunshinto appear."Yo" he said

"YOUR LATE" yelled the blonde and the pink haired kids

"Damn, with the way they yell you would expect them to be related" Kakashi mused."Now now I just got lost on the road of life and ended up late".

"Worst excuse ever" thought Naruto and Sakura.

"Well now that I am here we can get started on the test to see if your fit to become genin" Kakashi stated.

He held up two bells "this is your test, you are to try and get these bells from me" he said.

Sakura looked confused "but sensei there's three of us and only two bells".

"Very good Sakura, yes there's only two bells which means that one of you wont be passing. Also the one who doesn't get a bell will be tied to a log and wont be getting any lunch" he stated very amused

as all three of their stomachs growled at the same time.

"So that's why he told us not to eat" the three thought at once.

"Now then you have until noon to get a bell from me, come at me with the intent to kill or you don't stand a chance. ready, set-.

Before he could say go Naruto pulled out a kunai to throw but in an instant Kakashi was behind him holding his arm, all three looked on in awe at his speed and all of them with a similar thought.

"Holy crap".

"Now now I didn't say go yet" spoke the amused jounin "at least your taking me serious. "he said with an eye smile "ok now go" as soon as he said that the three disappeared "well at least they know how to hide themselves" as soon as he finished that thought an image of orange came into his vision

"spoke too soon" he sighed "you know compared to the others your kinda slow".

"Says the guy that was too slow to dodge an erasure" the loud ninja exclaimed.

From their hiding spots Sasuke and Sakura both face-palmed at their would be teammate "what kind of idiot is he?".

"Now I'm gonna take you down and pass this test so get ready cause here I come" with that said Naruto charged the jounin, but stopped as he saw Kakashi reach into his weapon pouch and pull out...

a book (ya no one saw that coming).

"Whats the matter, if you don't take a bell you wont pass" the uninterested jounin stated.

"Well put away the book so I can cream you" Naruto cried.

Kakashi flipped a page in his book "sorry Naruto, but I don't even need to put it away to beat you" he spoke without looking away from his book.

Naruto fumed "Fine I'll just have to beat you so you'll stop disrespecting me" he charged at Kakashi who blocked every strike that Naruto tossed at him till he ended up behind him. He held his fingers in a hand sign as he knelt behind Naruto.

Sakura suddenly felt dread and fear as she watched her sensei about to use a jutsu on the blonde "Naruto you have to get away fast he's going to destroy you!"

"Too late" Kakashi stated "hidden leaf ancient taijutsu supreme technique Thousand years of pain!"

Kakashi yelled as he drove four fingers into Naruto's ass sending him flying into a nearby river

"... What that's not a jutsu, supreme technique my ass, its just a really strong poke". Sakura deadpanned

"Cha I cant believe we worried over Naruto so much. Inner Sakura fumed

"Their both idiots, and Sakura's stupid too for revealing herself to try and save the dead-last" Sasuke said extremely annoyed.

"How is this fair at all, he's a jounin how can we compete with that?" said a worried Sakura

"Dammit, I'm not gonna lose here, I'm gonna make him acknowledge me". Naruto thought as he threw two shuriken from the river... only to have them caught by Kakashi who still has yet to look away from his book. "Oh come on what the hell was that?"Naruto whined ."Alright lets try this". He thought as he brought up his fingers into a hand sign.

"Huh hope he plans on coming up for air sometime soon". Kakashi said uninterestedly

Naruto climbed out of the river coughing out a lot of water and swear words that a 12 year old really shouldn't use.

"Hey whats wrong? "Kakashi mocked ."If you don't get a bell by noon that means no lunch for you".

"How am I supposed to beat you when I haven't had any breakfast!" the orange clad ninja yelled

Sakura's stomach roared "At least you only missed breakfast, I didn't even have any dinner last night, man I picked a really bad time for a diet." The pinkette nearly cried.

"No complaints here". Inner Sakura said in a matter of fact way.

As Kakashi strolled away Naruto yelled. "Dammit don't walk away I'll beat you this time, take this

Kage bunshin no jutsu!" Several loud pops were heard and smoke surrounded Naruto. Once it cleared 8 versions of Naruto were there. "You ready for my specialty Kakashi sensei?" The original Naruto stated with a huge grin on his face "Hope so cause here we come!" He and the other Naruto's charged the jounin.

"Wait 7 clones, and their solid? Since when could Naruto do something that cool?" Sakura wondered

"Did you just admit Naruto was cool?" Inner Sakura asked in a teasing tone?

"What no...no, Naruto is not cool at all." Sakura defended

"What ever you say." inner Sakura said in a sing-song voice

Meanwhile Sasuke was beyond pissed that Naruto knew such a high level technique "What the hell, there is no way the dead-last has that great of an technique and I don't, I'll make him teach me it by the end of the day! He doesn't deserve it."

Kakashi just looked bored. "While that is impressive, Naruto, even with those numbers you still cant win your still a genin and you cant-

What ever Kakashi was gonna say was cut off as a Naruto clone came up from behind undetected and latched onto the cyclops. "HA I had one of my clones sneak out of the river to get you from behind, and now its time for my revenge from when you poked me in the ass earlier". Naruto exclaimed as he jumped for heavy swing at the jounin, but found that his punch only connected with another clone. " wait what the hell... wait I get it Kakashi disguised himself as a clone". sadly this train of thought led to Naruto's grand plan of beating the crap out of himself and his clones in hope of attacking Kakashi which of course failed. One of his clones came up with the idea to release the clones so only he and Kakashi would be left. So the original Naruto released his clones and found out that he was all alone because Kakashi merely used the kawarimi jutsu to hide in a tree.

Naruto suddenly saw a glint of metal at the base of the tree and saw one of the bells lying there unguarded "Hey! No way he must have dropped it heh heh." Naruto said

Nearby Sakura was praying in her head "please don't let my teammate be that stupid, please don't let my teammate be that stupid"

Naruto reached for the bell only to be caught by a rope trap.

"He's that stupid" inner Sakura sighed

"You know when a trap is obvious you really shouldn't take the bait." Kakashi said in an almost sad voice as he dropped down from the tree picking up the bell.

Seeing the jounin's back was turned "NOW while he's focused on the idiot" Sasuke let fly a flurry of weapons that imbedded themselves into Kakashi... only for him to poof into a log with a smiley face on it. "Shit now he knows where I am, I gotta move fast!"

"That must have been Sasuke-kun I have got to hurry and find him." Sakura thought while she jumped through the trees to find her true love.

Suddenly Sakura heard "Psst hey Sakura behind you" Sakura turned around only to see Kakashi with swirling leaves everywhere. When the leaves stopped Kakashi was no where to be found, she then heard another voice coming from the trees.

"Sa .. Sakura .. help ..me." A bloody, stabbed and near dead Sasuke limped towards her. overwhelmed with the sight Sakura promptly fainted with a loud scream.

Still very bored Kakashi watched the girl fall to his genjutsu. "Huh maybe I overdid it."

Sasuke came out to challenge the silver haired ninja."So you got the fan-girl, but you will find I'm different then her and the idiot dead last." He stated with an obvious smugness.

"Say that once you have a bell." Kakashi retorted.

Sasuke attacked with a flurry of his family taijutsu style, and he nearly grabbed one of the bells till Kakashi backed away. "Whew that was too close, I guess I cant read my book with this one". Kakashi thought "Well I guess you are different but still not good enough." he stated.

Wordlessly Sasuke started several hand signs. "fire style: goukakyuu no jutsu" As he finished those words a large fireball was let loose from his mouth.

"What that's impossible genin's cant do elemental jutsu they cost too much chakra!" Kakashi said with actual shock.

Kakashi was engulfed by the flame, once it dissipated Kakashi was no where to be found, Sasuke began to panic as he searched for the jounin "Where is he? Around me? Above?"

"Below!" Sasuke suddenly heard as he was pulled into the ground. Earth style: shinjuu zanshu no jutsu

all that was left of Sasuke was his head sticking out like a daisy.

"Now that your taken care of, lets go see if Naruto got out of that tree" Kakashi said

"Dammit cant believe he caught me like this, there's no way I can take him head on or with a normal distraction but what could actually do the job" Sasuke thought he suddenly heard rustling to and saw Sakura pop out "Sakura?" He grinned as he suddenly had an idea. "Sakura hurry dig me out fast there's not much time."

Sakura was about to faint when she saw Sasuke's head on the ground, but once he spoke to her with such urgency she jumped at the chance to save her crush. "o..ok Sasuke-kun." she quickly dug him out

are you all right Sasuke-kun" she asked with concern.

"I'm fine Sakura but I need your help, we cant take him alone so I need you to attack him with taijutsu while I do a sneak attack" he explained quickly.

Sakura's heart soared at the thought of Sasuke asking for her help. "Cha this is gonna be awesome." inner Sakura screamed from inside Sakura's head. "are you sure you want me to use taijutsu its not really my forte." Sakura admitted, afraid to fail the avenger

Sasuke was trying his best not to yell at the pink haired fan girl, He needed her cooperation or this wouldn't work. "Sakura just trust me on this" he placed his hand on her shoulder (secretly disgusted with himself)(while she and her inner persona were loudly making wedding plans with eachother) "Just charge and attack him and I'll handle the rest." He said with a don't argue with me kind of tone.

At Sasuke's forceful tone Sakura could only nod in agreement as they both trekked towards were they started. They suddenly heard the sounds of metal on wood, coming to the clearing they find Naruto pinned to a tree by kunai as Kakashi was holding what looked to be bentos in front of him. "I told you Naruto, you only get lunch if you get a bell. Sigh I guess I'm gonna have to tie you up now." The jounin stated with a slightly sadistic tone to his voice.

Surveying where Kakashi was gonna be, Sasuke put his plan to action. "Alright Sakura I need you to go at Kakashi before he leaves Naruto's side I'll trigger a trap that will stop him cold, now go hurry!" Sakura with slight hesitation jumped forward and charged at Kakashi who was about to pull the last two kunai from Naruto's jacket.

"Damn I cant throw my weapons, if I miss then I might hit Naruto" Sakura thought, instead she decided to run head first while screeching. "Cha this is for that damn genjutsu earlier!" As she swung at Kakashi he blocked each blow unmoving.

"Wow major dejavu didn't Naruto yell the same thing?"Kakashi sweat-dropped.

"Wait did you just yell the same thing Naruto did when he attacked Kakashi?" inner Sakura said very much amused.

Ignoring the voice Sakura continued with her attack hoping that Sasuke would hurry and finish his plan. As soon as she thought this Sasuke appeared several feet away and launched a single kunai towards Kakashi. "Finally now me and Sasuke-kun can pass" she thought as her heart soared "sorry Naruto". She thought with some regret.

Kakashi was ecstatic as he saw Sasuke and Sakura seemingly work together. He then proceeded to dodge the weapon "You know you had the perfect chance to attack, and you use one kunai? I'm kinda disappointed" he said quickly.

"Who says that was meant to hit you?" Sasuke said with a very smug grin, as his kunai suddenly hit a rope that let loos his trap of several kunai flying towards them.

Kakashi looked at the incoming projectiles and saw that they weren't gonna come close to hitting him, so he figured Sasuke had another trap set up, as he tensed up ready for another round he heard a sound that chilled his blood... The sound of metal stabbing into flesh and a pained wail that came from the his female student, turning around he saw Sakura fall back covered head to toe in at least 20 kunai, while a now free Naruto was stunned and unmoving when they all suddenly heard a jingle.

"Heh i guess she was actually useful for something." Came the voice of the uchiha avenger. They looked to him and saw he was holding both the bells he stole while Kakashi was distracted.

"He..he used us, he used us as cannon fodder just to pass? That damn selfish son of a bitch ill rip his fucking head off!" Inner Sakura raged.

"sa..suke..kun?" Sakura was no longer crying because of the kunai she was now crying because of the pain of a broken heart.

"I guess my plan to use her was flawless eh Kakashi? So that means I'm the only one to pass and I'm your apprentice now." Sasuke suddenly froze as Kakashi released a huge amount of killer intent and punched Sasuke in face resulting in a few very loud cracks and a flying uchiha.

"SAKURAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Naruto rushed to Sakura's side and tried his best to sooth her pain. At Naruto's scream Kakashi shook his head clear and went to his students, he quickly paled as he saw the extent of her wounds and knew immediately that she wasn't gonna make it.

"I cant believe I lost another one." He said with tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry sensei I failed you."
