"Naruto, why dont you sit still!"

Naruto looked at Sakura, slightly happy she had said something to him. "But Sakura chan! Why is the teacher for our seventh group the only one late? All the other groups went somewhere with their new teachers and already... Iruka sensei has already gone home!"

"That's not important, Naruto-" She stopped as she sees Naruto standing on a chair (due to not being tall enough to reach) and placed a black board eraser between the sliding doors.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Naruto snickered, "It's his fault for being late!" He said as he jumped out of the chair he was using.

"Geez, it's your own fault if you get in trouble." She said, crossing her arms with a gruff.

"A Jounin isn't going to fall for a plain old trap like that." Sasuke said, before Sakura could shout in agreement, the door opened and the black board eraser fell on the Jounin teacher's head.

Naruto laughed, the plan worked exactly how he wanted it to do. "He fell for it! He fell for it!"

"Sensei! I'm sorry, I tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen to me!" Sakura said while Sasuke felt surprised by what just happened.

The teacher, Kakashi Hatake picked up the eraser.

"...How should I say this? My first impression of you guys are... I hate you."

"Sensei, it was all Naruto's fault, he-"

"Isn't there suppose to be four people in this team?"

Naruto looked around, "Hey...Yeah... Where's Mystery?"


"So what's the matter?"

Mystery continued to stare at the reflections of the river infront of her.

"Nothing."

Kakashi looked at the river, his and Mystery's reflection was visible. The expression on her face (which he is seeing from the reflection) didn't seem nothing of the matter to him.

"You didn't turn up today."

"The purpose of going there is to meet your teacher, I already know who my teacher is, why should I bother?"

"We had a casual introduction with the team afterwards. You could've been there."

"..."

"Is this because of Sasuke?"

Her head snapped at him, "Sasuke? No! Of course not!"

"You almost sound sarcastic there."

"...Otou san... To be honest, my grades could be better. But it's just that Sasuke always seems to be put in the team for our exams... It's hard seeing him."

"So it is because of him."

Kakashi reached out his hand and ruffled his hair a bit, "Mystery... You need to understand, things like this is gonna happen. I had a friend who died from a mission once. I never got to see him ever since."

"..."

"You can't put your emotions before your priorities, that's something very important to a Shinobi."

"Yeah... I know.."

Kakashi stood up, "We're going to have a training tomorrow morning. Be there at six at the old training fields, okay?"

"You're going to be on time this time?"

"..Sure."


"Okay! See you at the Academy tommorow!"

The young dark haired girl hugged him and dashed off.

His brother saw the hug and walked over to Sasuke with a smile.

"Mystery is your girlfriend? Why didn't you tell me?" He said with a small chuckle.

Hearing this, Sasuke instantly blushed. "N-no! She's just a friend!"

"You two have a great relationship, it's cute. I remember-"

"Itachi! Didn't you say you were going on a mission?"


"Say...Its 11 already...Didn't we say that we would be meeting at five?"

Kakashi looked away from his Icha Icha book.

"Hm.. We should."


"Good morning!" Kakashi and Mystery said as they walked and waved at their annoyed team members.

"YOU'RE LATE!" Naruto and Sakura shouted both at the same time.

"A black cat crossed my path, so I had to take the long way."

"He didn't wake me up on time."

Naruto and Sakura twitched in anger while their other member, Sasuke was leaning to a tree, looking cool as usual. (Which Sakura is secretly fangirling over already.)

"Anyways, today's topic is to get one of these bells..." Kakashi said and took them out.

"You must get one of these bells from me, whoever can't will have no lunch, I'm going to tie you on the post there." He pointed his finger at the location.

"And let you watch the others eat lunch."

"But wait, why are there only three bells?"

"Since there's only three, atleast one will have to be tied to the log, that person will fail and go back to the Academy.." Kakashi said with a smile but continued.

"You can work in just one, or together. You can use your Shuriken, you wont be able to get these bells unless you have the will to kill me."

Mystery raised her hands up.

"Yes?"

"What about Senbons?"

Kakashi thought about it for a second.

"Yes, Senbons are allowed."

Sasuke looked over at Mystery, "So she's been learning the Senbons?" He thought and looked over at Kakashi, she was in a huge advantage as Kakashi is her guardian. He was a little excited to see how strong Mystery had gotten ever since they were little, her exam marks in the academy was fail, but in reality? No one really knows.

"But that's too dangerous, Sensei!" Sakura said.

"Yeah! You couldn't even dodge that chalk eraser!" Naruto shouted with his finger pointed at the teacher.

"In society, those who dont have many abilities tend to complain more, just ignore the guy with the lowest score."

Naruto was just about to say something back.

"We're going to start after I say..."Ready, start."

Naruto quickly took out a Kunai and ran towards Kakashi.

Kakashi foresaw his rash decision and grabbed his head and hand.

"But, it looks like you have the will to kill to me now, I think I can finally start liking you three." Kakashi smirked, "We're gonna start. Ready?

"..."

"START!"

"..."

Mystery soon realized they had all split up and she was the only one left alone. (Surprised even Naruto dissapeared too)

"Yeah... Uhm, maybe I should get moving."
