Happy New Year's! OK, second chapter of Naruto: Rewind. Like I said, I'm basically redoing all of the earlier chapter's right now, making it more of my style of writing. Some thing's will be taken out while some thing's will stay. Such as the harem, I want to do a vote on what you would like to see as the harem of this story. Their will be five allowed in: Older women are allowed as well. OK, on to the chapter! I do not own Naruto.
"Oh, and you have till noon." Kakashi added as he pulled out an alarm clock and set it down on a stump. "Now, if you're going to have any chance of getting a bell, you must come at me with the intent to kill." Sakura gasped at this statement while Sasuke snickered while Naruto yawned.
"Now, begin!" Kakashi shouted as Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto each took off in their own direction. Naruto disappeared with a body flicker as Sasuke and Sakura disappeared into the forest.
Sasuke was currently hiding in tree about 200 yards away from Kakashi, and was trying to come up with an attack plan.
"Whatever I do, I'll need a distraction, after all he's jonin level and I'm only a genin," Sasuke contemplated, then went to find someone to be a distraction. "I bet I can use that useless girl..."
Sakura was hiding in some bushes, about 100 yards from where Kakashi was.
"I need to find Sasuke, I bet he will already have the bells when I find him!" Sakura thought energetically, then leapt off into the woods to find Sasuke. "I hope I don't run into that idiot Naruto..."
Naruto was sitting underneath a tree in Training Ground 12, as he had his clones watching Sasuke and Sakura, and one taking his place.
"Hmm, I wonder if I can get them to work together to pass?" the blond shinobi thought as he disappeared in a swirl of blue flames. "Better watch out for Kakashi-sensei though..."
Naruto landed beside Sasuke, who was watching Kakashi. Sasuke jumped and looked at Naruto.
"What are you doing here?" he asked viciously, still wondering how this dobe sneaked up on him. "Can't you see I'm about to make my move?"
"Look Sasuke, we need to work together." Naruto answered. "Just trust me when I say that if we work together, we'll get the bells."
"Humph, I can get the bells on my own." Sasuke responded, and was about to leave the scene before Naruto took ahold of his arm.
"Sasuke, just think about it for a second has there ever been a three man team in the history of Konoha?" Naruto asked. "No, there hasn't, which means, he either passes us all, or fails us all."
Sasuke thought about for a second, then sat back down,
"OK, then what's this test about?" Sasuke asked. "Since you seem to know so much about it."
"Well, I think it's a test to see if we can work together to accomplish our mission, that's why he tried to pit us against each other." Naruto replied intelligently. "Think about it, no mission has ever been accomplished by one's own abilities. He must be testing us to see if we're able to act as a team on a mission."
Now that Sasuke thought about it, it would make sense.
"OK, so the whole point of this is teamwork, then we need to find Sakura, and come up with a plan." Sasuke responded after thinking it over for a second. Naruto nodded, and they both took off through the woods to find Sakura.
Sakura was currently running through the woods, when she heard "Sakura, h-help." Sakura paled, and ran as fast as she could towards where she heard the voice come from. As soon as she ran into the clearing she froze, there was Sasuke, beaten and bloody on the ground, with kunai and shuriken littered throughout the Uchiha's body. So what did she do? She fainted.
Kakashi appeared on a tree branch, looking down at her,
"Lesson one, genjutsu. hmm, and she was supposed to be the best in her class at genjutsu," Kakashi thought as he shook his head in disappointment. "Now, to find the other two..."
"Hey look, there she is!" Naruto stated when he spotted Sakura lying on the ground. "She looked like she passed out from some type of genjutsu most likely."
"Whatever it was, we need to wake her up." Sasuke said, then reached out and shook her. Getting no response, he shook the pink haired girl harder.
"Hey stop, I got a way to wake her up." Naruto said as he made a hand sign and shot a small stream of water at her, which caused Sakura to spring up in surprise.
"Huh, what h-happened?" she asked as she looked around, her eyes then landed on Sasuke. "W-wait, you had been... Sasuke, are you OK?"
"I told you, Kakashi-sensei put her under a genjutsu," Naruto stated. "Sakura, are you hurt?"
She took a second to process that she was under a genjutsu, and that Sasuke wasn't dead. After she recognized Naruto's question she shook her head.
"No, I'm fine." she said as she got up. "So what's going on? What's the plan to get the bells?"
"We find a place to hide, then come up with a plan to launch an assault on Kakashi-sensei," Naruto answered as he got up and was about to take off into the woods.
"Wait, who made you leader?" Sakura asked angrily, "I mean Sasuke should be the leader, he's better suited for it anyway!"
"Well, does Sasuke have a plan that will let all of us pass?" Naruto responded with annoyance, then looked at her expectantly.
She just looked at him, then back at Sasuke, expecting him to say yes, but he just shook his head no. She silenced herself as she followed Sasuke and Naruto into the woods.
When Naruto got to where he was looking for, he then walked over to a fairly large tree, and dropped down into a hole next to the base of it, that was mostly hidden by the tall grass, and tree roots.
Sasuke shrugged and followed him inside, Sakura following as well.
"Hey Naruto, where are we?" Sakura asked as she looked around. It was a relatively small cave, about 10x10 feet, and it was only about 6 foot deep. the only light came from the hole they had just came through.
"Well, I found it earlier, when the exam started." Naruto stated, he couldn't really tell them that he found it 5 years in the future.
Sasuke thought it was a little suspicious that he would of found it, as it was at least 700 yards away from where they started, but he kept his mouth shut, they had more important things to do.
"OK Dobe, whats this plan you have that we can all pass?" Sasuke asked as Sakura nodded.
Naruto ignored that he was being basically ordered around,
"Well this is what were going to do " he said, then laid out his plan for them.
"OK, I think it will work and we will get the bells, but that doesn't explain how we will all pass." Sasuke stated questioningly.
"Well, just leave that part to me." Naruto answered, as he knew when Kakashi saw them working together they would pass.
"OK, lets go it's almost noon." Sasuke announced as Naruto and Sakura nodded, and they all exited the cave, and headed towards where Kakashi was.
"Hm, its almost noon, I wonder when they will attack, or maybe they just gave up." Kakashi thought with a sigh. As he opened his Makeout Paradise novel, a snap of a twig alerted the jonin as Sakura and Naruto came from the bushes. Naruto swung at Kakashi, who dodged as Sakura tossed a kunai at the Mirror Ninja's chest, which he caught in mid-air. As Kakashi was occupied by Naruto and Sakura, Sasuke sneaked up on the jonin, his hand outstretched for the bells.
"Ahh, so using Sakura and Naruto as a distraction, good thinking Sasuke." Kakashi stated as Sasuke took off at Kakashi, who disappeared in a cloud of smoke as Sasuke took a swing at him from behind. Kakashi appeared on a tree branch from above where Sasuke was currently standing, reopening his book as Naruto nodded at Sasuke. Sasuke nodded as he charged at Kakashi, sending a litter of shuriken at Kakashi, who seemingly allowed himself to be hit with each of them. Kakashi reappeared in a cloud of smoke behind Naruto and Sakura, who moved aside as Sasuke went charging at Kakashi, making hand signs as he ran.
"Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu!" Sasuke roared as he sent a fireball at Kakashi, which hit the jonin right on the mark, or so they thought. As the smoke cleared, Kakashi had disappeared, nowhere to be found.
"Where is he?" Sasuke asked as Naruto smiled.
"We need to go aerial, everyone in the trees!" Naruto shouted as Sasuke, Sakura, and himself jumped into a tree, Kakashi emerging from the ground in shock.
"How could he had possibly anticipated my attack?" Kakashi thought as he placed his book in the pouch on his back pocket. "I thought this kid was dead last in everything? How did he suddenly become a ninja genius? Maybe it's just me..."
Kakashi quickly pulled out a kunai and blocked the hail of shuriken and kunai that came at him from Sasuke and Naruto from the trees. He scanned the area for Naruto, who had appeared before him, running at full speed toward the Mirror Ninja. He swayed as Naruto took a swing at his chest, then jumped in the air as he followed up with a sweep kick. Naruto darted forward and went for a palm strike to the face but it was blocked. Kakashi then blocked several incoming punches and kicks from the fierce blond shinobi, then jumped back to readjust himself. Sasuke saw Naruto had Kakashi distracted, which he decided to use the time to grab a bell, which Kakashi sensed at the exact moment. He rolled away, causing Sasuke to fall forward, but Naruto saw this as an opportunity.
"Sasuke, use the Fire Style: Fireball jutsu, now!" Naruto shouted as he continued to distract Kakashi. Sasuke was confused for a second, but did it anyway and launched a medium sized fireball at Kakashi. Naruto, who had finished a set of his own hand signs pointed his hand at Kakashi.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" Naruto shouted as he shot a giant gust of wind in Kakashi's direction, strengthening the fireball, tripling it in size.
Kakashi's eyes widened, he had been ready to dodge the smaller fireball, but wasn't sure if could dodge the larger one. For a brief moment, Kakashi activated the Sharingan, using it to find the weakest point of the jutsu. As he did, he barrel rolled in that direction, which caused him to be hit, but only slightly.
As soon as he landed, Naruto charged at him, taking a swing at Kakashi, who caught the fist in mid-air. Kakashi kneed Naruto in the chest, then tossed him onto the ground, which then caused Naruto to disappear in a cloud of smoke.
"I've been fighting a Shadow Clone this whole time?" Kakashi thought as he looked at the ground in shock.
He didn't have time to ponder on it however as Sasuke charged at him, he ducked under a snap kick, then blocked a few punches, then tried, and connected with a back hand fist to Sasuke's chest sending him flying a few feet.
He then grabbed a hand that went for the bells, it was Sakura, he then blocked a spinning kick, and threw her a few feet away.
He sighed, but had no time to relax as he rolled to the side to avoid a few small fireballs that Sasuke launched at him. He then blocked a kick from Naruto, and a punch from Sasuke, he then caught Sasuke's fist, Naruto went for a roundhouse kick to his chest which he blocked, still holding on to Sasuke, who tried for the bells, but was thrown away at the last second by Kakashi. Who blocked a kick from Naruto, then grabbed a punch meant for his stomach, then went for a punch to Naruto's face, who caught it.
Just then another Naruto leapt out from the forest, and ran towards him, realizing Naruto's plan was to let his clone get the bells, he let go of Naruto's fist, but then before he could move, Naruto grabbed his hand.
In a desperate attempt to get free, Kakashi jumped up into the air and spun, forcing Naruto to lose his grip enough for him to escape. They both landed gracefully on there feet. Kakashi smiled.
"That was good, you almost had me."
It was then he saw Naruto smirk. He was confused for a second but then Naruto raised his hand up and pointed to Sasuke, who was smirking and holding the two bells.
Kakashi was dumbstruck. "B-but, when?" he asked.
"When you jumped up, after I lost my grip I grabbed them and tossed them to Sasuke, and since they were jingling the whole time you were in motion, you didn't notice they were gone.
Kakashi smirked, this was not only the first time a genin team had worked as a team to pass his test, but it was also the first time anyone had gotten a bell.
"Well don't rest, now you have to decide who passes, and who fails," Kakashi stated as he sat down to rest, and of course to read his book.
Sasuke tossed Naruto one of the bells, who looked at it for a second, then tossed it to Sakura, who looked confused.
"But Naruto, you and Sasuke got the bells, I should go back to the academy, not you." she said then tossed it back to Naruto, who caught it and tossed it back, Sakura caught it and gave him a frustrated look, and tossed it back. Naruto caught it and tossed it back, she caught it and got a little upset, and threw it at his face, he caught it and threw it back, she caught it and tossed it back to him, he then caught it and looked at it for a second. Sakura smirked she had won! That is until Naruto threw it to Sasuke. Sasuke just looked at him like he was crazy, as he grinned.
Kakashi then stood up and chuckled.
"Hmm... well you don't have to decide who goes back, as you all pass." he said with an eye smile.
They all just Sasuke and Sakura just face-falted while Naruto grinned.
"B-but Kakashi sensei, why do we all pass?" Sakura asked
"Well this test was about teamwork, and weather or not you all could work together, even when pitted against each other," he answered.
"So in other words getting the bells were pointless, as long as we worked as a team we would of passed?" Sasuke asked in an aggravated tone.
"Yep." Kakashi said with an eye smile. "Well that's all for today, meet back here tomorrow at 7 and we will start missions and training."
"So by 7, you mean 10 right?" Naruto asked with a smirk as Kakashi disappeared in a cloud of smoke without answering.
"Well see you guys tomorrow." Naruto said as he turned around and started to walk away.
"Bye Sasuke, Naruto." Sakura said as she turned around and headed home, surprising both Naruto and Sasuke that she didn't ask Sasuke for a date.
"After seeing how much farther ahead of me they are, I really need to start training seriously. After all, Sasuke wouldn't want to be with a weak girl." Sakura thought on her way home. She was determined to get stronger, even if that meant giving up on Sasuke.
OK, so how was it? Next chapter will be up after New Year's! PEACE!
