Chapter 1
The Test

"Let's go! We must reach our 'targets'," said one strangely clothed man to another, while dashing through the forest. The one on the left wore black cloth all over, including his face. Slung over his back were two short katanas. Over his eyes was a strange headband, with a shuriken symbol on it. The other had a blue jounin vest and tan plants, with basic ninja gear. He had long blue hair and a shoulder pad on his right arm.

"Yes, Surodoi, we should be to the training ground any moment now," said the blue haired man.

"Here we are, Kakushi," said Surodoi. "I can see them." On the training ground before them he saw two people. One was a guy who had spiky blond hair, a black and orange outfit, and three whisker marks on each cheek. The other was a girl with shoulder length pink hair, green eyes, a red sleeveless shirt, and tight shorts with a skirt. Standing on the training ground, training, were Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, two teenagers that were 17 years old.

"Ok, here is my plan. We split them up, I will take the girl, you take Uzumaki," explained Surodoi.

"Sounds like a great plan," whispered Kakushi. Suddenly Surodoi tapped the other and pressed a finger to his lips.

"Huh?" said the blonde below. "Hey, Sakura-chan, did you hear something?"

"Yes, I think I did," Sakura replied. "What could it be?"

"I don't know," Naruto said, while staring at the completely wrong trees. "I think it came from up there."

Surodoi began communicating with a silent hand code. 'Kakushi lay down a genjutsu'.

Kakushi did a few seals and the two disappeared, invisible. The two ninja below were still looking around. Then Surodoi saw someone else spying on Naruto and Sakura. He saw a girl with long, dark bluish hair and a sweatshirt, with white eyes and no pupils.

'Looks like we are not alone' said Surodoi in the hand code, pointing towards Hinata.

The girl known as Hinata then thought, 'Why are they looking around? Did they hear me? Or is that Pink bitch deluding him? Oh my god, what if he finds me! How would he react?'

Kakushi then used the hand code to say 'We can't afford to let them find her. It would ruin the mission.'

'Go and explain to her, make sure she goes away. Follow the male after. Remember our mission.' Following that statement Kakushi jumped down to the girl's location. When he reached her she almost screamed, but he covered her mouth. After a few words she nodded and sadly left, disappointed that she had to do strange things like training and talking to her good friends Kiba and Shino. 98 percent of Hinata's life was spent stalking Naruto, excluding sleep and missions.

'Oh well', thought Hinata, 'I will have to wait for another time to watch that amazing guy. Why doesn't he ever notice me?'

"It must have been nothing, Naruto," said Sakura.

"Yeah, although I could have sworn I saw blue hair behind that bush."

"Hmm, who do we know that has blue hair?" asked Sakura, knowing of the Hyuga girl's obvious obsession with her teammate.

"Well I guess we should just forget about it," said Naruto, oblivious to her sarcastic tone. "It's getting late. We should stop, right Sakura-chan?"

"Oh yeah, that will give you just enough time for a date, now wouldn't it?" said Sakura in, once again, a sarcastic tone.

Naruto screamed in glee, saying, "Are you serious, Sakura-chan?" He did not notice her fist rising.

"No! Baka!" retorted Sakura, punching him in the face. Naruto was flung into the tree Surodoi was standing in. He narrowly managed to get away before the tree snapped and fell on Naruto.

'Crap, this is going to hurt so badly' thought the trapped blonde. Then as it was almost there, it suddenly stopped. 'Why am I not dead yet', thought Naruto as he had his eyes closed. Then he slowly opened them to see the beautiful pink haired girl holding the tree up with one finger as if she was lifting a feather.

"I'm sorry Naruto; I didn't know that was going to happen."

"Oh, it's okay Sakura-chan. Neither did I," said Naruto, while thinking 'Sakura never apologizes. She usually turns away and acts like nothing happened. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow Sakura-chan."

"Yep, tomorrow then," she replied, walking in the opposite direction from him. Why did I apologize? I never apologize to him after I punch him.

Kakushi and Surodoi signaled to each other and took after their respective targets.

Naruto exclaimed to Kakushi, who suddenly appeared in front of him, "Who the hell are you?" The blue haired ninja responded with a kunai thrown at Naruto. He took out another kunai and blocked it.

"What the hell was that? Who are you?" Again spoke Naruto.

"Very well, my name is Kakushi. And my master is very interested in you. And that was a kunai, a sharp and straight nin…"

Naruto cut in with, "I know what a kunai is, asshole!" He then decided that the guy wanted a fight and happily obliged. He made the cross with his two hands while saying, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Ten more of Naruto popped into existence and rushed at the other. As they were all about to strike he suddenly disappeared. Then half of the clones were destroyed. Kakushi appeared behind Naruto and tried to strike him. Naruto turned around and blocked his hidden blade with a kunai. A rasengan appeared in Naruto's hand and he slammed it into Kakushi. Kakushi disappeared again and reappeared six feet away two seconds later.

Naruto's remaining five clones attacked and Kakushi lunged at what he was sure was the real one. He stabbed him in the shoulder and then with another blade that popped from his wrist guard. Naruto did not appear to be defending, while the clones on the sidelines laughed. Kakushi thought 'what the?' Then the unthinkable happened. The Naruto he was next to exploded in a blast of wind, knocking Kakushi back and leaving him with numerous cuts.

"Ha! Now you see the greatness of my Fuuton, Bakuhatsu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," yelled Naruto #6. Kakushi disappeared and reappeared with a blade in that Naruto's chest. It popped away soon afterwards.

'Darn it, that wasn't him either,' thought Kakushi. One Naruto went to punch him in the face, while another did a leg sweep and another came from behind. Yet another jumped above and one disappeared below. Kakushi jumped over the leg sweep and blocked the front blow. He disappeared and confused the one behind, who stopped abruptly. A slice appeared on his throat, and it disappeared.

The one above did not flinch, and neither did the fist from below. A clone appeared from underground and his fist hit something invisible. As Kakushi reappeared, the other clone hit him down. The remaining four clones then regrouped around Naruto.

Kakushi ran towards Naruto doing a series of hand seals. He disappeared and all the clones died, as Naruto moved out of the way and Naruto moved slightly, escaping with one small scratch. With a sudden thought, Naruto formed a one-handed rasengan and hit the air in front of with it. He made contact with Kakushi's stomach. The man reappeared and flew into a wall.

"Good one, kid," said the blue haired man, while getting up. "Subetenoyami no Jutsu!" he yelled, while performing unrecognizable hand seals. Suddenly Naruto's world was plunged into darkness.

'I can not see a thing,' thought Naruto. Suddenly two cuts appeared on his arm, while he flailed at nothing.

"Welcome to my ultimate jutsu," said the hidden man.

"Ha!" yelled Naruto. "I can counter this. Kage Bunshin no Justu!" Two hundred clones appeared and Naruto jumped up high, yelling "Harikeendama Tarapu!" Every clone exploded in a blast of wind. The wind formed into a sphere and the darkness disappeared. The ball compressed and disappeared, leaving Kakushi on the ground.

Naruto walked over to him and picked him up by his frayed vest, saying, "Now tell me what this is about!"

Kakushi stared at the blonde, and responded, "Congratulations, Naruto. You pass."

Sakura continued to walk away after she and Naruto left the training area. Then she stopped when she heard something. She immediately went into a battle stance. Unfortunately, both she and Naruto were tired from training. She scanned the area around her, but heard something behind. Sakura slammed her elbow into something behind her. She turned around to see the strange black wrappings of Surodoi.

"Who are you?" Sakura inquired the man, in a threatening tone.

He answered, "Well, well, you're an aware one, aren't you? Good hit I must say." Sakura saw that his headband, of no recognizable village, was over his eyes. She also noticed a slight breeze, tinged with charka. 'Who is he?' Sakura thought.

"I see you've noticed my strange appearance," he said. "Well, I don't have time for this dialogue. So get your self ready." Surodoi then charged at Sakura, bring a double strike with his right fist and left foot. Sakura grabbed the fist and brought up a shin to block the foot. She took the hand she grabbed and tried to throw him, but he grabbed her forearm and would not let go.

Once the momentum of the swing stopped, he let go and landed again on the ground. He performed a rabbit sign and said "Fuuton, Kaze shiirudo no Jutsu." The inevitable impact of Sakura's strong punch was stopped in thin air before reaching Surodoi. "Kazekousoku no Jutsu," continued Surodoi, performing three signs. The compressed air that blocked Sakura's fist began to flow and compress her arm. Sakura focused chakra to her arm and wrenched it out, then doing the seals for a basic clone jutsu. 'What an interesting girl,' thought the man. Two fake Sakuras appeared beside the real one. They rushed at the man with charka intense fists. The one in the middle suddenly stopped, causing Surodoi to flinch. He then thought that must have been the real one and there was nothing to be afraid of. The two clones the actually went inside Surodoi, as it appeared. 'What a pointless move,' he thought.

'You're done now," thought Sakura. She pulled senbon from her bag and threw them. As expected, they bounced away and hit the tree behind him. She was not disappointed, however. Sakura tried to roundhouse kick Surodoi, but he blocked it. They went into a round of intense taijutsu.

Sakura tried to do a super uppercut, but he dodged it, while sliding his index finger along her arm. Sakura stomped the ground, making a large impact crater and knocking Surodoi into the air. She jumped into the air to finish the combo and noticed the long, deep cut on her arm. This did not stop her from throwing a powerful downward kick at the other ninja. He performed his shield jutsu and came out of his impact crater unharmed.

As Sakura landed she healed her arm, leaving the wound closed. She ran towards him and he saw her. He tilted sideways to dodge her right hook, but was rewarded with a strong impact to his ribs. 'What was that? Where the hell did that come from?' thought the confused shinobi.

Surodoi stated, "I will now introduce you to my fighting style. Menimienai Sakugen!" He went into a complex form, and his arms spread apart, as well as his legs. His hands were near his face, with his elbows bent. His index and middle fingers were pointed out.

Surodoi rushed at the pink haired kunoichi with great speed, and weaved around her counter blows. He made sweeps everywhere possible with his fingers and quickly got away. Sakura's body was covered with numerous cuts. She healed them and slamed her fist into the ground, destroying the ground beneath. Surodoi was flung into the air. Sakura followed him.

"Fuuton! Kazedan no Jutsu," he yelled, releasing a blast of air at her. Then he felt her behind him. 'How?' he thought. 'Am I under genjutsu? She is supposed to be good at it.' He did the kai thing, but nothing happened. Noticing this distraction, Sakura began an intense barrage of hits in midair. They touched the ground and Sakura gave one more punch.

At that moment, Surodoi realized what was happening. 'A layered genjutsu,' he thought. 'When did she use it?"

"Kai!" he exclaimed. Then it all became clear.

"Too late!" Sakura yelled, while performing a snake sign. Surodoi realized which tree he was in; it was the one her senbon had hit earlier. Blue strings stretched out and wrapped all around his body, suppressing his movements.

Sakura explained, "That is a jutsu I use to restrain my patients. It also suppresses charka."

"You are amazing indeed," replied Surodoi, "Sakura Haruno. Hokage-sama was right about that. Congratulations, Sakura, you pass the test."

"What test?" inquired Sakura.

"The ANBU qualification test," answered Surodoi.

"How? Why? When?"

"Hokage-sama thought you and another were worthy of this promotion. She was right."

"Why didn't Tsunade-sama just call us?" Sakura asked.

"Part of the test is you not knowing about it. You had to attack with real intensity. Look, it appears you're teammate has passed as well."

"Hey Sakura-chan!" yelled an all too familiar loud voice. She turned to see Naruto rushing through the trees with a scroll in his hand.

"ANBU papers," explained Surodoi, while pulling out a scroll. "Here are yours," he continued, handing it to her. She opened and examined it.

Naruto asked, "Isn't this cool Sakura-chan? We're ANBU now!"

Kakushi said with finality, "Our job is done. You two report to Hokage-sama in the morning."

"I didn't expect to become ANBU," said Sakura with excitement.

"Yeah," exclaimed Naruto. "Hey, Sakura-chan, want to celebrate with me?"

Sakura answered, "Maybe some other time. It's too late and I have to work at the hospital today."

Naruto glumly replied, "You know, Sakura-chan, you don't have to make excuses. It's fine with me."

Sakura thought, 'How can I deny that face!' She then said, "Naruto, it's not an excuse. We can celebrate tomorrow or the next day if you want."

"Really," said Naruto, "Thank you Sakura-chan! See you tomorrow then." He proceeded to begin skipping in the other direction. "Bye Sakura-chan!"

"Bye Naruto!" she said back. "kun" she whispered under her breath.


Well? How was it? If you find anything that can be improved, please nofify me.

Jutsu Guide: At the end of every chapter, I will explain the Jutsus I created in that chapter. Jutsus used previously will only be explained in the first chapter they appear in.

Fuuton, bakahatsu kage bunshin no jutsu- This is a wind style clone explosion jutsu. Like Itachi's, but with wind. Naruto builds up wind chakra in a clone and releases it in one rapid explosion.

Subetenoyami no Jutsu- Kakushi's absolute darkness genjutsu. It completly blots out ones eyesight, and can not be released until user is hit.

Harikeendama Tarapu- Naruto uses the Fuuton, bakahatsu kage bunshin no jutsu, on many clones at once. He swirls the chakra into a sphere, which grows smaller, leaving all inside defeated.

Fuuton, Kaze shiirudo no Jutsu- The user evenly spreads wind chakra around their body, creating a solid shield.

Kazekousoku no Jutsu- Transitioned from Fuuton, Kaze shiirudo no Jutsu. The wind from the shield moves to another, rendering them unable to move. Can be broken with strength

Fuuton, Kazedan no Jutsu- Wind bullet. Not that complicated. If you don't under stand let me know.

On a final note, it is complete coincidence that the name Kakushi is on syllable away from Kakashi. All my created names will be puns, just like Masashi's. fiqure it out, and i'll give you a slice of pie! Hahaha
