Note of the author: Hey, Guys! This is my first Naruto fanfiction! Hope you enjoy it! It takes place before the Shippuden storyline, just did that to avoid confusion.

"Where is he?"

Naruto Uzumaki let out a shout. "We've been waiting here for two hours! I just wanted to train!"

The blond boy was pacing back and forth, throwing his hands in the air. Once again, Kakashi had given them coordinates to a training location, and once again, he was late. Naruto's teammates were sitting lazily on the grass.

"Naruto, give it a rest. If you're really that eager to train, just start warming up. Do pushups or something." Sasuke Uchiha lazily drawled out a sentence, staring at the clouds. Naruto turned to glare at him.

"We've been waiting for Kakashi-sensei for hours! I already did pushups! Why is he always late when he tells us to go somewhere to train this early in the morning? We should be late for once, to give him a taste of his own medicine!"

"But Naruto, that would be pointless!" Sasuke retorted. "Then we're missing out on training!"

"We're missing out on training right now!"

"Guys, will you just be quiet?" This time it was Sakura Haruno who spoke. "We're wasting energy arguing right here. Naruto, shut up, and stop annoying Sasuke."

Naruto turned red, and crossed his arms. He couldn't disagree with Sakura. "Fine."

The trio waited in silence for a few minutes. The Jonin in charge of their group, Kakashi, had once again given them coordinates to a training location. Not directions, coordinates in Longitude and Latitude. He said that it would help their brains get warmed up. He had told them to arrive there as Six O' Clock AM, sharp. After a lot of arguing, walking, and frustration, the group had finally arrived at the spot where they thought they were supposed to be training. The problem? Kakashi wasn't there. After a few more minutes, Naruto began to feel doubts.

"Guys? What if we arrived at the wrong training location? Kakashi-sensei has been late before, but he's never been this late. Maybe we just followed the coordinates wrong."

Sakura rolled her eyes. "Or maybe you're just being impatient. Just sit back and relax. I bet Kakashi-sensei will be here any minute now, and when he does arrive, we'll be ready to train."

Sasuke cocked his head to the side, as if he was deep in thought. Then he frowned, and stood up. "Actually, Sakura, for once, I agree with Naruto. This place isn't even close to our normal training location, and we train in the same place practically every time. I think we might have read the coordinates wrong. Sakura, pass me the paper, please."

The pink haired girl passed him the piece of paper with the coordinates. Taking a map out of his pocket, Sasuke held the two side by side, and squinted at them. He slowly nodded. "Yes, it looks like this is the right place…"

Suddenly, a head full of white hair popped out of the ground. The head, which had a mask covering one eye and the bottom part of a face nodded.

"Good morning, Team 7." The head rose up, and a body followed, until Kakashi was fully revealed, and standing on the ground. He waved to the trio.

"Sorry I'm late, guys," He said. "I ran into an old friend, and we were reminiscing the good times we had."

Naruto glared at his sensei. "For two hours?"

Kakashi blinked. "We had a lot of good times…" He replied sheepishly.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, and smirked. "We assumed."

The Jonin sighed, and turned to Sakura. "You've been awfully quiet today, Sakura; is there a problem?"

The girl glanced up as if seeing him for the first time. "Oh, no Kakashi-sensei. I was just thinking."

Kakashi shrugged, and relented. Naruto tapped his foot impatiently. "So, Kakashi-sensei? What are we doing today? Learning killer techniques? Sparring? Having another bell test?"

"None of the above." Kakashi shook his head. "Today, we aren't going to be doing anything!"

Naruto looked up abruptly. "WHA? Do you know how long we waited for you? And when you do come, you say that we aren't training today? What is wrong with you?"

Kakashi's visible eye glinted. "Do you know exactly why we aren't training today?"

"No, but I don't really care!"

"You should be happy; I'm giving you the day off."

Sakura frowned. She knew the best of all of them that when their Sensei gave them a day off, the next day of training would be as hard as a week's worth of training.

"Oh, I get it, Sensei: you're giving us the day off because you know that tomorrow we're going to be training twice as hard."

"Very good, Sakura. You seem sharp as usual. Tomorrow, we are going to be learning The Chakra Arts, Kakashi style."

Realization dawned in Naruto's eyes, and he gulped. "I knew I should have just trained with Pervy Sage…"

Sasuke raised another eyebrow. "Kakashi style, eh? This is going to be fun."

Naruto blinked. "You know what? I'm going to go train with Pervy Sage. Goodbye!" The blond boy dashed off toward where he thought Jiraiya was.

It took him a few seconds to realize he wasn't going anywhere.

He glanced behind him, and saw that Kakashi was holding him by the scruff of his neck. "Not this time, Naruto. The only reason you were training with Jiraiya was because I was in the hospital, and you were searching for Lady Tsunade. Now that I'm out, I'm your sensei again."

Naruto groaned. "Argh…You don't even teach me any killer moves! Even Grandma Tsunade gave me a challenge!"

The Jonin raised an eyebrow. "'Grandma Tsunade'? Out of this group, Naruto, you're the least fit to learn any 'killer moves'." He released Naruto, and stepped back. He smirked, but the group couldn't see his face.

"Get ready to learn The Chakra Arts, Kakashi style. Be ready. Now shoo. I'm going to go catch up with my friend again."

And with that, he disappeared.
