All right, so let's try this again. I have taken a few things out, so let's hope she doesn't sound like a Mary-Sue. But I didn't make her as weak or weaker than Sakura. No, I can only go so far.(Weaker than Sakura? Hell No! Never going to happen!) So here it is. Read, Review and Enjoy!
- Kazumi
The Younger Sister of Kakashi Hatake
Chapter One: Academy Student No More
Since the night the Nine-Tails attacked Konoha, Kakashi learned that his father and mother (Sakumo and Sanako), had lost their lives as they protected the village, thus making Kakashi and Kazumi orphans. However, Kakashi stepped up and raised Kazumi on his own. He didn't like the idea of having his sister taken away from him, especially not after all that had happened. Kakashi hated that his sister would never know their parents like he did, and all she had to remember them was a family photo of them altogether.
As Kazumi grew, Kakashi noticed that her markings were growing to fit her face as she did. And soon more changes occurred in her appearance. It started when she turned four. Kakashi saw that she had grew fangs, similar to the members of the Inuzuka Clan. But luckily that problem was quickly solved. Kazumi had adopted Kakashi's look and started wearing a mask, covering the lower portion of her face, thus covering her fangs and her markings. When she turned eight, Kakashi started teaching her the basic rules and regulations of being a ninja. Not only that but she started the ninja academy.
There, she met and befriended a blonde haired boy named Naruto Uzumaki. Unlike the other students, Kazumi instantly became friends with the hyperactive knucklehead. They would study, talk, eat lunch and train together. But at the time, even though they were best friends, neither one knew that they both shared a similar secret.

Kazumi's Point of View:
The following morning, I got up early and quickly got dressed in my normal clothing. Once finished, I quickly brushed out my hair and placed it in a low, tight ponytail. I had some to hang loosely on both sides of my face and a few hung over my forehead. I took my headband and tied it over the bangs on my forehead but made sure it didn't cover my hair that hung on the sides.
"Kazumi, breakfast is ready!" I heard Kakashi yell.
"I'm coming, Onii-chan!" I yelled back. I exited my room and made my way into the kitchen. "Good morning, Onii-chan." I told him as I entered.
"Morning, Imouto." He said happily. "Sleep well?"
"Yeah, I did." I said as I sat down. "What about you?"
"The same." He says. "So, I heard from your teachers that you graduated the academy with high scores. Both on the physically and the written tests."
"Yeah, I did. I scored higher than all the girls." I explained. "I even surpassed Sakura Haruno. But I have to admit, she's a pretty smart girl."
"Hmm, that's something." Kakashi said. "Well, you have certainly made me proud, Kazumi. And I know Otou-san and Okaa-san would be too."
"Mm, I'm glad." I said happily as I sent Kakashi a smile.
"Well, you don't want to be late today, so eat up." he says as he returns the smile.
"You're right I don't. We are being assigned to our teams today." I said as I picked up my chopsticks to eat.
Kakashi and I both pulled down our masks and began eating out breakfast. Once finished, I quickly placed my bowl in the sink and left to brush my teeth. I replaced my mask over my face and made sure it was secure and straight. Kakashi and I left our apartment and started walking down the streets of Konoha. Kakashi was reading his book while I walked beside him. In no time at all, we were at the academy.
"Okay Kazumi, I'll be here to pick you up later, okay." Kakashi told me.
"Okay Onii-chan, I'll see you later." I told him.
Before I left, I gave him a quick hug, in which he gladly returned. Once he released me, I quickly took off and headed towards the academy. Kakashi turned around and proceeded to the Memorial Stone like usual. When I entered the classroom, I took my seat next to Hinata.
"Morning, Hinata." I said as I took my seat.
"Good morning, Kazumi." Hinata said quietly.
We all just sat there as we waited for Iruka Sensei to appear. Suddenly Naruto ran into the room and took his seat, which was next to Sasuke Uchiha. Pretty soon Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno entered and were arguing about who Sasuke loved more. I swear that these fan-girls were getting on my last nerve. Yeah I admit that Sasuke had good looks, but the dude wasn't a freakin' god or something. If you asked me, he was way too emo to me. Before long Iruka sensei appeared and stood before the class as he held a scroll out in front of him.
"Okay everyone, let's settle down now." Iruka sensei said. "Today I will be placing you all into your assigned teams. So let's begin. Team One…"
Iruka sensei continued to call out names and I had yet to hear my name. But I made sure I was paying close attention so I wouldn't miss it. In fact, I was a little restless and was ready to find out who my teammates were going to be.
"Okay, Team Seven will consist of Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno…" there was a sudden pause. I heard a loud thump and when I looked down, I saw that Sakura had slammed her head down onto the desk. "Sasuke Uchiha…" there was another loud thud, but this time it was Naruto.
"Oh, poor Naruto. He got stuck with the gloomy Uchiha and the miss know-it-all Haruno." I thought to myself.
"And Kazumi Hatake." Iruka finished. As soon as I heard my name, my eyes narrowed right toward Haruno and Uchiha.
"Damn it! I should have never thought of anything." I scolded myself. When I looked down, I spotted Naruto, who was sending me a huge smile. I sent him back my signature eye-smile as I slightly nodded my head.
After being assigned to our teams, Iruka sensei dismissed the class. However, he told us to wait here and wait for our sensei. I looked up to see Naruto putting an eraser on top of the door.
"Naruto, what are you doing?" I asked.
"Heh, I'm getting our sensei back for being late." Naruto replied.
"He's a high level ninja, a Jounin." Sasuke said plainly. "You really believe he's going to fall for something as stupid as that."
"Sasuke's right." Sakura added.
Naruto just ignored Sasuke's and Sakura's comments as he continued to get the eraser to stay in place. While he was doing so, we suddenly started hearing footsteps. Naruto quickly jumped from the chair and ran back to his seat to watch his prank play out. When the door opened, I found that the eraser fell onto an all-too-familiar silver haired ninja.
"Hmm, how can I put this?" He says as he places a hand on his chin, like he was deep in thought. "My first impression of this group, you're a bunch of idiots."
A look of depression, as well as an anime drop, appeared over Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura. I on the other hand just had a laid back look, just like Kakashi always had on his face. I soon saw Kakashi look up at me. For a quick second, I saw him sent me a smile. He was quick enough so the others didn't see. I quickly nodded my head, making sure the others didn't see as well.
"Okay, all of you meet me on the roof." He tells us and soon leaves the room.
"Wow. My big brother is my new sensei. What are the odds of that ever happening?" I thought to myself as I started to leave the room.
"Alright, why don't you introduce yourselves?" He said. "One at a time."
"Introduce ourselves? Well, what are we suppose to say?" Sakura asked.
"Things you like, things you hate, dreams for the future, hobbies, things like that." He explained.
"Why don't you tell us some first?" Naruto stated. "Before we talk, tell us about you so we can see how it's supposed to work."
"Me? Well I'm Kakashi Hatake. Things I like and things I hate, I don't feel like telling you that." He started. "My dreams for the future, never really thought about it. As for my hobbies, I have lots of hobbies."
"Hatake?" Naruto, Sakura and even Sasuke stated together. They all looked right at me. I just had a plain look on my face as I looked towards our sensei. I soon glanced out the corner of my eye to see them all staring at me.
"What?" I ask plainly.
"You have the same last name as Kakashi-sensei." Sakura pointed out.
"Yeah. He's my older brother." I said quietly.
"Older brother!" they all exclaimed again.
"Okay, okay, calm down. Your turn. You on the right, you're first." Kakashi told us.
"Believe it. I am Naruto Uzumaki. I like instant ramen in a cup, and I really like the ramen Iruka sensei bought me at the Ichiraku noodle shop. But I hate the three minutes you have to wait after you pour the water in the ramen cup. My hobbies is eating different kinds of ramen and comparing them. And my future dream is to be the "greatest" Hokage. Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody, somebody important."
"Well, he's grown up in a very interesting way." Kakashi thought. "Alright; next."
"I'm Sakura Haruno. What I like, uh I mean the person that I like is….. (Looks over towards Sasuke with a smile). Uh, my hobbies are…. (Still glancing towards Sasuke). My dream for the future is (glancing at Sasuke and looks like she was going to explode into a fit of giggles).
"And, what do you hate?" Kakashi asked.
"Naruto!" she said with hate.
I saw Naruto's eyes looking like they were about to pop out of his head. He couldn't believe Sakura just said that about him. I just shook my head, noticing that Sakura didn't even answer everything she was supposed to. All she did was look towards Sasuke. Oh man; and she's my partner. I was in trouble.
"Girls her age are more interested in boys than ninja training." Kakashi thought. "Okay, next."
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan and destroy a certain someone." Sasuke said.
"Geez, I hope he doesn't mean me."Naruto thought.
"Sasuke is so hot." Sakura thought.
"Man, he is so damn depressing." I thought.
"Just as I thought." Kakashi thought. "Okay, Kazumi, you're next."
"Right. My name is Kazumi Hatake. I like training and relaxing. I dislike many things, especially people who tend to pick on me or my friends. My hobbies are many things but mostly studying. And my future dream is to become a great kunoichi of the Hidden Leaf." I said.
"Good, you're each unique and you have your own ideas." Kakashi sensei said. "We will have our first mission tomorrow."
"What kind of mission are we going to have?" Naruto asked.
"It's a task that the five of us will do together." Kakashi sensei answered.
"What, what, what, what?!" Naruto asked excitedly.
"A survival exercise." Kakashi told us.
"Huh? Survival exercise?" Naruto asked.
"I thought we were supposed to have a real mission, not more practice." Sakura exclaimed. "We already did this stuff back at the academy. That's how we got here."
"This is not like your previous training." Kakashi explained.
"So, what kind of training is it?" Naruto asked.
Suddenly Kakashi sensei started laughing. We all just sat there as we tried to figure out what was so funny about the question Naruto just asked.
"Hey what's so funny? That was a normal question." Sakura said.
"Well if I tell you the answer, you're not going to like it." Kakashi said as he chuckled but quickly stopped. "Of the 28 graduates who just came here, only nine, maybe ten, will actually be accepted as Genin, the other eighteen will be weeded out and sent back to the academy. In other words, this is a make it or break it pass/fail test. And the chance that you'll fail is at least 66 percent." He explained. "See, didn't I tell you wouldn't like it."
"That's crazy! We worked hard to get here. What was that graduation test for anyway?" Naruto yelled.
"Oh that? That's was just to select candidates who might become Genin, or not. That's how it is. I decide whether you pass or fail." Kakashi answered. "Be at the designated training spot at 5 am, and bring your ninja gear. So that's it, you're dismissed. Oh, tomorrow you better skip breakfast or else you'll puke."
With that, Kakashi disappeared in a gust of wind, leaving the four of us on the roof. I just sat there, wondering what on earth Kakashi had planned for tomorrow. He never tells me anything unless it was need to know. So I was pretty much left in the dark just like the others.
"Hmm, knowing Onii-chan, he won't be going easy on us." I thought to myself.
