LAST TIME ON SQUAD 7: REWRITTEN
Naruto flashbacked! Then he got put on a team with Sasuki and Ino! Then they introduce themselves to (evil) Kakashi! Then Naruto asks them out to lunch!
-Chapter 2: genin exams-
-START!-
-MAIN STREET-
"Where are we going?" Ino asked as Naruto drug both her and Sasuki down the street, glares laced with hate or confusion bombarding the trio; those glares were either completely ignored by Naruto or he got them so much they didn't even affect him.
"Why a little piece of heaven on earth..."
'Ichiraku's...' both girls thought in unison.
"Ichiraku's!" He yelled at the top of his lungs as he pushed the curtains aside revealing Old Man Teuchi and his daughter Ayame.
"Hello, Naruto. Who are your friends?" said Teuchi, preparing Naruto's bowls.
"They're not my friends..." Naruto said, smirking.
"Teammates?" Ayame asked.
"Well... Yes and no..."
Sasuki playfully pushed his shoulder. "Just tell them already."
"Were his girlfriends." Ino spoke up, instead.
"Well that's nice... Wait, what! Both of you?"
"Yup!" All three said, holding up a peace sign.
Teuchi smiled. All those times Naruto came crying, saying no one liked him except for him, Ayame, Iruka, a few ANBU and the Sandaime. Now, he had not one, but two girlfriends. "That's nice, what would you two girls want?"
"We already ate..." Naruto said as he and everyone else sweatdropped. Teuchi because he spaced out for so long. Naruto, Ino, Ayame, and Sasuki because he hadn't noticed they were leaving after already having paid.
-NARUTO'S APARTMENT-
Afterwards, they both went to Naruto's to play games until it was time to go home. They talked about everything and nothing and both would have gone home, had it not been for all three falling asleep watching Spirited Away.(AN if you haven't seen this, then you don't like me. it's a very good movie.)
-NEXT MORNING-
Beep.
Beep.
Beep
SLAM!
Naruto woke up groggily muttering something that sounded a lot like finding the guy who invented alarm clocks and beating him to a bloody pulp and setting an alarm clock right next to his head every day for the rest of his life. Of course, that's only what it sounded like. No one really heard what he said with 100% clarity.
It was after this statement that he noticed two warm figures draped over him and his TV on with a view of the title screen of Spirited Away. Looking down, he noticed Sasuki and Ino asleep, lying over him; Sasuki with her head on his shoulder and Ino with her head on his leg. Doing a quick Kawarimi with a pillow, he went to the kitchen to make some ramen.
'Screw you Kakashi-sensei! NOTHING can stop me from eating my precious ramen. Now which kind... Beef!' Deciding on the type of ramen, he boils the water and puts it in the cup. 'Instant ramen my ass, damn three minutes(AN i know it's overused but it's funny).'
After about two minutes of waiting and constant poking with chopsticks, the smell had wafted to the living room. Acting on autopilot, the two girls floated into the kitchen and hovered above Naruto's almost done ramen.
He snapped his fingers and both their eyes fluttered open. Now fully awake, they both realized where they were at and began blushing.
"I should let my parents know where I'm at." Ino thought aloud. Naruto and Sasuki nodded their approval. Naruto and Sasuki had nothing to worry about since they were both orphans.
"Just be back soon 'cuz the test is in half an hour." Naruto grinned, pointing to the non-alarm clock on the wall.
After Ino had left, Sasuki turned towards Naruto. "Didn't Kakashi-sensei say don't eat breakfast?"
Naruto grinned sheepishly. "Well, yeah... But if we're hungry, we won't be a hundred per-cent. And since we're up against a Jonin, we need a hundred percent."
Sasuki nodded her approval. "I understand that, but we're Genin. Three Genin against a Jonin isn't fair to us. There's gotta be something else to it..."
"You mean like a hidden meaning?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, but the meaning depends on the test ,right?"
"Right." After Naruto eating his ramen and Sasuki her apple, she made Naruto eat an apple, too.
They went to Ino's house next and told her to eat breakfast despite what their sensei said the day before. During breakfast, they explained what they had figured at Naruto's.
"So maybe it's a test of teamwork." Ino said, putting a piece of toast in her mouth.
"Maybe..." Sasuki said. Twenty minutes later, they were walking to the training ground, their plan of defeating their sensei with teamwork already taking place.
-TRAINING GROUND THREE-
Training ground three was a small plain area surrounded by a forest with a bush in the middle of the field along with three stumps. On the west side of the field was a river lined with medium-sized boulders. As soon as squad seven reached there, they began to set traps: paper bombs, tripwires, kunai launchers, and others in hopes that he would underestimate them.
Two hours after they finished setting the traps, Kakashi arrived. Naruto glared at the orange book he closed; a book Naruto knew all to well (1),put it away and lifted up his hand and two bells were in it.
"For this test, you have to get one of these bells from me. If you don't get a bell by noon, I will tie you to those stumps and eat lunch in front of you." He was surprised when none of their stomachs growled.
"But why are there only two bells?" Ino asked. Kakashi eye-smiled.
"Hmm, I guess you're right. Then one of you is going to have to not eat lunch. And since you failed to get a bell, you failed the test, therefore at least one of you will go back to the academy. It may only be one of you, it may be all three. But you're not going to be able to get these unless you try to kill me. I will be going all out as well."
"Isn't that dangerous?" Sasuki asked.
"I don't think I have to worry about a stuck-up clan member, an aneorexic fan-girl and a traffic cone..."(2)
Naruto pulls out a kunai and twirls it expertly before setting it in a reverse grip. Faster than they could see, Kakashi had Naruto twisted around, his own kunai pointed at the base of his skull. Sasuki and Ino backed away out of fear.
"I didn't say go yet."
"I didn't... *ngh*... start yet." Naruto retorted. Kakashi only appiled more pressure, ccausing Naruto to grit his teeth in pain. He wasn't going to give this pervert the satisfaction of hearing the Naruto Uzumaki scream in pain. Sasuki and Ino began unconciously leak KI directed at Kakashi. Granted, not enough to scare him, but just enough to be registered, maybe slightly above. Kakashi turned to them two.
"Hmm... Seems you three are ready to take this seriously. You just might make this challenging. Now... Start!"
The three teammates scatter, hiding their presence well. Kakashi merely waited for them to make their move.
'The basics of a ninja is to hide their presence, waiting for their enemy to let their guard down.'
Just then, Naruto appears in front of him. "C'mon! You and me! One on one!" he yelled. Kakashi sweatdropped.
'Begin phase one.' both kunoichi thought.
"You're a little wierd, aren't you?" Kakashi asked.
"What's wierd is your hairstyle!" Naruto charges Kakashi, when Kakashi reaches into his hip pouch, causing Naruto to jump back.
"Ninja tactic 1: Taijutsu." Kakashi pulls out his orange book again. He becons to Naruto. "Well, come and get me..."
"Why'd you take out a book?"
"I just wanna know how it's gonna end. Don't worry, you'll lose either way."
Naruto charges Kakashi, infuriated about being underestimated. He goes for a flying right hook on Kakashi's blind side, but he blocks it with his right hand. Losing his momentum, Naruto lands, but pivots and goes for a roundhouse kick, which Kakashi ducks under. Naruto lands again, trying for another right hook, but Kakashi isn't there anymore.
"You let your guard down. A shinobi should never let his enemy get behind him." Behind Naruto was a croched Kakashi, his fingers in the tiger seal. Sasuki's eyes widened.
'No... Naruto-kun wasn't supposed to get hit! Especially not with Katon ninjutsu!'
"Naruto run!" Ino yelled, but it was too late.
"Secret Konoha Taijutsu: 1000 years of death!" Kakashi slams his fingers into Naruto's rectum, causing him to poof. 'Damn, KAGE BUNSHIN. But where's the real one?'
*twang*
Kakashi turns around, and sees twenty kunai and shuriken headed straight for him. He jumps away but a Kage Bunshin from behind him holds him down. The force of the impact is enough to send him flying. But right before he hits the ground, he poofs, revealing a defenseless log embedded with various ninja weapons.
-ELSEWHERE-
Ino runs, so as not to give away her position when she runs into Kakashi.
He holds up the rat seal and a bunch of leaves appear out of nowhere and engulf her. Kakashi sighs. "I hope that doesn't kill her..." and jumps away to his next target
When the leaves disappear, Kakashi's gone and everything is dark.
'This must be genjutsu.' she thought. With that in mind, she molded her chakra and yelled "Kai!" just as Naruto appeared from behind a tree covered with stab wounds and blood.
"I-ino-chan. Help m-me..." He pleaded. A single tear fell down her cheek.
"I'm about to, Naruto-kun." she replied as he and the rest of the illusion wavered and disappeared.
-BACK AT THE CLEARING-
"I beat Naruto with taijutsu and Ino with genjutsu, all that's left is ninjutsu." Kakashi replied from behind Sasuki.
"Not really, but I'll let it slide." she replied with a smirk, turning to face their sensei.
"Let's see if you can get a bell before you can start to talk down to me."
Sasuki grabs two shuriken and a kunai and throws them at Kakashi. He jumps to the left to avoid them.
"Normal attacks won't work on me." He replied, just as the kunai cuts a rope, sending more ninja tools at him. He jumps again as they embed themselves into a tree he was in front of only moments before. As he slows down ,Sasuki appears behind him and tries to use a roundhouse kick, which he barely blocks. He grabs the foot with his other hand in an attempt to throw her, but she rolls with the momentum and goes for a right hook, which he blocks with his free hand. Her other foot comes around and he lets go of her hand to block the axe-kick. She reaches for the bells but he notices and jumps back just in time. She front flips and faces him as he hears another *twang*. Looking down, he notices a camoflauged tripwire. He jumps up just in time to avoid the shuriken and notices Sasuki in front of him. She flashes through six handsigns, landing on tiger.
"KATON: GOUKAKYUU no JUTSU!" A large fireball expels from her mouth engulfing the field in fire. Kakashi jumps back only to get tackled from behind. He lands face-first into the scorched earth. Kakashi flips over, with Ino on the ground ,her arm bent behind her back, and his foot on the back of her head. He pulls out a kunai and places it to her throat
"Sasuki, find Naruto and kill him. Bring me proof, say his head, and I will let you two go. Lie to me, or try rescuing her, and I will kill her in front of you and kill you next." He presses the kunai tighter, causing a shallow cut. Ino winces in pain. Sasuk igets a far away look in her eye before nodding. Kakashi eye-smiles.
"Narutoooo!" She turns back around only to see Kakashi's kunai get deflected out of his hand. Sasuki grabs both and aims them at him.
"I didn't miss anything, did I?" Naruto yells from behind them.
"Only me about to kill your girlfriend." Kakashi sneers, pulling out another kunai. Kakashi turns to see Sasuki standing beside Ino, both with a bell in their hand. Kakashi's mouth falls open. "How did you three do that?" Naruto smirks.
"This was our plan from the beginning. One of us get caught, another looking for the one behind them."
"My scream masked the sound of Naruto's kunai and shuriken coming towards you. His kunai deflected yours and the shuriken cut the string attached to the bells." Sasuki said, waving the bell for emphasis. Ino spoke up next.
"When the bells landed in my hand, I used KAWARIMI and gave Sasuki the other bell..."
"What about Naruto...?" Kakashi asked, thinking he had won.
"When I realized what the test was, I decided all along to give it to them. I understand if I fail..." Naruto turned, when a hand was placed on each shoulder.
"Here, Naruto-kun. You can have ours." Ino said, both her and Sasuki holding out their bells. Sasuki nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, Naruto-kun. It was your idea in the first place. You should pass." Kakashi walked up to them.
"No need for that, you three all pass. The object of this test was not so much as getting the bells as it was work together. Although you didn't work together in the beginning..." He was interrupted by Ino.
"Actually, we did that on purpose so you would underestimate us..." Kakashi's eyes widened. They had planned everything out to the last detail, much like many Nara members do. He could only congratulate them and tell them to meet him at the Hokage's office the day after next at 10AM.
'I don't know if I should be proud of or scared of my new team... Obito, Sensei, your kin are amazing... As is your's Inoichi...' With that last thought, he reached into his pocket only to find Icha Icha Paradise missing.
"Damn Genin!"
-END-
(1) this is an omake i made especially for this.
Naruto was walking down the street in a henge of his teacher, Iruka-sensei. Today was the day he got his allowance and he was searching for any and all things orange. He had already bought orange pants, an orange jacket, orange scarves, and anything else orange. It was almost the end of the day and he had enough money for one thing (not including food and rent, of course).
That was when he spotted an orange book in the window of a bookstore. He rushed in and picked up the book. Not being able to read very well, he believed the small 'R' in the corner to stand for "really awesome book". He happily paid the man the required amount of money and took the book home where he began to read as best he could. Frustrated he could only understand small words such as 'the', 'and', 'or', and 'a', he left it for a time where he could better enjoy the wonders of the orange book.
After a few more weeks of English class, he could read ten times better. Ecstatic, he pulled the book from under his bed and blew the dust away.
After about the third page, however, the blonde Jinchuriki's mind was corrupted forever and vowed vengance on anyone who was perverted enough to read such a horrible book.
(2) i do not think this of any of them. Kakashi merely said that to get them riled up. He is still a jerk, but he doesn't think that poorly of them.
