Kakashi's Test

Naruto and Iruka had just made it to the hospital to see the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, enter so they rushed in to see what he wanted them in the first place.

"Hey, Old man Hokage" Naruto called out. Sarutobi turned to see Naruto enter the hospital, "what was it you wanted to see us fo-, huh?" Naruto saw that his eyes were a little red and held something he never saw in the Hokage's eyes before.

The look in his eyes vanished the moment Iruka came in, confusing Naruto even more, "Ah, Naruto there you are and you to Iruka" Sarutobi spoke, "Have you gotten the Forbidden Scroll, Iruka?" He got a nod

"Yes Lord Hokage, Naruto has on his back as you can see" stated Iruka pointing to Naruto's back Naruto turned to let Sarutobi see the scroll that he wore like a backpack.

"Good work Iruka," A Neko Anbu suddenly appeared seemingly out of nowhere, "now Naruto would you mind giving the scroll to her please?" Sarutobi asked. Naruto nodded and went to Neko handed the scroll but not before he got a familiar sense of security from her. He brushed it off stated that it was just because she was an Anbu Black Op. He then walked back to Iruka's side. He looked back to see that the Neko woman was gone along with the scroll.

"Don't worry, Naruto, she is my most trusted ninja in the Anbu-Black-Ops" Sarutobi stated seeing Naruto's worried face, "The scroll will be safe. Right now there is someone waiting for you in one of the hospital room, I believe you're related with him?" he inquired to Naruto.

Naruto looked to Iruka who just smiled then to Sarutobi who nodded. A big happy yet goofy grin came to his face as rushed off to the front desk and almost demanded to know this someone's room, meanwhile Iruka walked up to Sarutobi.

He watched Naruto blindly run into a wall, fall, then got up only to run into a group of female nurses and get tangled up with them, accidentally touching their breast as well as their ass, "So Mitsuki is alive, huh?" he asked as he tried hard not to get a nosebleed.

"Yes he is, Mizuki seemed to have hired some Chūnin to kill Mitsuki but they all failed and in the process, killed" Sarutobi explained as he too tried not to get a nosebleed.

To hear that Mitsuki was alive put Iruka's mind at ease just in time to hear multiple resounding slaps Naruto got from all the nurses.

…Meanwhile with Mitsuki…

Darkness as far as the eye can see that is what Mitsuki could only perceive. He looked to his right, darkness, he looked to his left then up and down, and still he could only see darkness. Suddenly a voice came '…Young one…'

"Who's there?" he said as he spun around, or so he felt. 'More important where am I?'

'…Beware, young one, two brothers shall fight a friend and thus disaster shall befall three realms…' The voice sounded feminine yet held so much power in them, so much so that it made Mitsuki tremble in instinctive fear.

"What are you talking about?" His tail wrapped around his leg continued to search vainly in the darkness.

'…When the 'time' comes two brothers will be sent to three realms and be given a most difficult choice…' suddenly the voice seemed to be getting more distant with every word. 'The choices will… either bring… salvation or… destruction… to… those…realms…'

Mitsuki tried to follow, "Wait! What do you mean…? I don't understand anything you said. Hey, get back here…!" But it was too late, the voice had vanished. But then a small amount of light formed in front him growing till it became too bright for him to see and enveloped Mitsuki. When the light faded he slowly opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by burning buildings and dead corpses some torn to shreds, heads ripped off or crushed, stomachs torn open, ribs spread open inside out and every organ had been eaten. He looked around and saw silhouettes of monsters. One of them looked at him, its eyes glowing red. It crouched ready to pounce on its prey and Mitsuki was its target. Mitsuki tried to move but the beast overtook him in seconds.

He then awoke just as the creature touched him. He immediately scanned his body for any marks that show it was what he thought it was. And sure enough his worry vanished as he finished checking himself. He sensed a faint presence in the shadows of his dim room. "Who was that? And how long have I been out? What happened to me?"

For a few seconds he bombarded himself with question after question before the door opened with such gusto that it surprised him out of his bed and to fall face first onto the floor.

"Hey, Mitsuki!" shouted an overzealous Naruto. He ran to the fallen boy and wrapped his victim in breath taking hug. "Oh man, I thought you were dead." That seemed to catch Mitsuki attention 'he thought I was dead?' Wanting to get answers Mitsuki opened his mouth to speak but that's when Iruka and Sarutobi came in.

"Ah, Mitsuki you're up, I'm glad" Sarutobi said mistaking Mitsuki's open mouth as a sign for lack of air. "Naruto, could you let your brother go before you squeeze him to death." Naruto sheepishly chuckled and let Mitsuki go.

"So how are you doing, Mitsuki?" Iruka added nervously, as he felt as though he was intruding.

"Um fine I guess, uh hey, old man, Iruka-sensei, why are you guys here? And more important where is here anyway?" asked Mitsuki as he finally noticed what was in the room. The room consisted of a chair for guests, a simple bed, a white drawer and a vase with a single flower. Then he saw that he wore a white gown.

Naruto was the first to answer his question as he said, "we're in a hospital." Mitsuki looked at him and for the firs saw that Naruto's face was covered with red hand marks.

Mitsuki pondered at why he had those hand-marks but gave up and sat on the bed. He looked at the Hokage, "What happened?"

Sarutobi took out his pipe but didn't light it seeing as he was in a hospital, "You were attacked last night by three Chunin. Mizuki probably hired them to get rid of you." Mitsuki was stunned someone had tried to kill him yet again. "But they failed and were killed before they got to you. You were found unconscious by an Anbu-"

"Like that masked lady?" Naruto interrupted as he walked to bed and sat with Mitsuki.

"Yes, now that "masked lady" found you and brought you here just in case you were not injured in the process" suddenly said Anbu came into the room, walked to Mitsuki and leaned close to his ear and whispered, "A promise is a promise, whether Naruto passed or not you are going to be a ninja" and placed something in his hands, rose up and bowed to the Hokage and left before Sarutobi or Iruka could say anything. Mitsuki looked at what he had in his hands and saw a leaf headband. He turned to Iruka, then Sarutobi and finally to Naruto who was smiling like a goof-ball. "It would seem that she wants you to be a Shinobi of Konohagakure." Sarutobi chuckled. 'She always did treat him like her own son'

"Well I guess since Mitsuki can do a clone Jutsu without the use of his hands, he passes, congratulation."

Both Mitsuki and Naruto were jumping around happy that they both get to become ninjas. Mitsuki forgot about the dream he had. Naruto showed him his hitai-ate which got from Iruka. Then they got into a verbal argument about whose hitai-ate present was better when it suddenly turned into a physical argument. Iruka laughed but then was tackled to the ground by both boys soon after. Iruka struggled to get free but no avail. No one saw Sarutobi leave.

'This isn't the right time to tell them' Sarutobi thought. 'I'll wait till the time is right. I'll ruin their happiness they have now if I do'

…two day later…

Mitsuki was told to stay in the hospital for two more days just to be sure as the doctors said. So he missed what had happen to Naruto that day. As for Naruto he was running to hospital since Mitsuki was going to be discharged.

He spotted Mitsuki with his new hitai-ate in place of his goggles, "Hey Mitsuki!" Mitsuki turned and saw Naruto running up to him.

"Hey Naruto" Mitsuki said, "What's up?"

Naruto said nothing as he kept running past him and when he was a yard away he stopped and turned to Mitsuki with his fox-grin and yelled, "Race you to the academy!" And then he took off leaving Mitsuki.

"Hey! No fair! That's cheating!" Mitsuki shouted as he ran to catch up to Naruto.

At the academy Naruto was huffing and puffing, "Hah, I left him in the dust"

Naruto went up to get a spot in middle row, sat and waited for Mitsuki. Meanwhile Mitsuki was running in the halls when he suddenly stopped as he felt the ground shake. It felt like a stampede was coming his way. He slowly turned around and saw two girls running straight at him.

The first girl was Ino Yamanaka, a girl with blond hair tied in a pig-tail, she wore a purple tank-top and a purple skirt underneath were bandage wraps that covered her, on her right thigh was a kunai and shuriken holster and her footwear were basic blue Shinobi sandals. She has a secret crush on him though he doesn't know it.

Next to her was Sakura Haruno, A girl Ino secretly helps by being her 'rival' for Sauske. Her long hair was pink and held back by her hitai-ate, she wore a red battle dress that split at her hip, biker shorts and the same basic Shinobi footwear. Naruto has had a crush on her since the beginning of his academy day, much to Mitsuki displeasure. They seemed to be having a race with poor Mitsuki in their path. The unfortunate boy tried to get out of the way but was too slow. The girls ran right on top of him leaving the imprint of their sandals on his face and body. Mitsuki soon recovered after five minutes had passed, got up and painfully went to the room that all the new graduates were waiting at. When he got there every one was seated and Naruto was slumped on his desk with bumps and bruises. Stifling his laughter Mitsuki walked past him, Naruto glared at him as he passed, then sat next to Ino.

Iruka walked in, "Alright class today you graduates are now honorary ninjas" everyone cheered. "So you'll be paired up in a three man squad" at that the class went quite with anticipation. "But one of the teams will be a four man squad" Naruto and Meitsuki looked at each other and gave knowing grins to each other. "Alright, I'll call your names then your Jounin instructors. Alright team one…" Meitsuki tuned him out as did Naruto till, "team seven is Naruto Uzumaki and Mitsuki Kitsune..." Ino silently prayed to be in Mitsuki's team and Naruto wanting Sakura. "…Haruno Sakura…" Naruto whooped for joy while Ino still prayed and Sakura just slumped. "And Uchiha Sasuke…" this time Ino and Naruto slump and Sakura whooped at being in the same team as Sauske

She turned to Ino and stuck her as inner Sakura ranted, 'Cha! Love conquers all' Ino glared at her for a different reason than Sakura thinks.

Having not seen what transpired Iruka continued, "Your Jonin Instructor is, Kakashi Hatake. Team eight: Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuuga and Shino Aburama your Jounin instructor is Kurenai Yuuhi. Team nine is still under valuation. Team ten is Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi. Your Jonin Instructor is, Asuma Sarutobi. Alright your new instructors will pick you guy up later so wait till they do." Iruka left and an hour later everyone but team seven were gone and they were irritated especially Naruto, Mitsuki and Sakura, though she didn't show it.

Naruto got up and went to the door catching his team's attention. "Naruto what are you doing, you baka?" Sakura asked as Naruto placed an eraser in the sliding door.

"This is what he gets for being late" Naruto chuckled as he struggled to get the eraser to the very top. When he got it there he jumped and explained. "Heh heh, when he comes in through that door, the eraser will then land on head covering him in chalk dust!"

"Naruto you're going to get us in trouble!" Sakura scolded, but her inner self was thinking otherwise 'CHA! It's brilliant!'

'A Jonin would never fall for a trap like that' Sasuke thought with some pride.

Mitsuki was thinking and Naruto saw it on his face, "Hey what's up Onii–chan?" Mitsuki came out of his thoughts and got a sinister grin.

"Oh, I think I got something to go with your little eraser otouto" to scared to asked they all kept silent. Mitsuki went to were Naruto placed the eraser, got it and sprinkled something on it with his back turned to them then placed it upside down and tilted so that some of the content would not fall off yet.

Curious Naruto asked, "What did do?" Mitsuki just grinned, grabbed Naruto and sat him down beside Sakura and then sat himself on top of a desk hands between his legs. The door opened, a hand appeared and then in came a gravity-defying silver-haired Jonin. The eraser fell and his whole head was covered in chalk and the mysterious dust. Naruto and Mitsuki laughed, Sakura kept say that she tried to stop them but her inner self was laughing and Sasuke seemed disappointed that their Jonin leader fell into the trap so easily.

Apart from his hair he had a mask that covered half of his face and his hitai-ate covered his left eye. He wore Jonin vest and basic dark-blue shirt and pants, his weapon pouch on the back of his waist and the same dark-blue color shinobi sandals. Kakashi looked at them and said, "My first impression of you is… you're all Idiots!" their reaction was gloomy except for Mitsuki who was still grinning ear to ear. Kakashi's head suddenly felt itchy, so he scratched his head but it suddenly got worse 'What? What's going on? I felt fine this morning so why do I feel so damn itchy' he looked to Mitsuki and Naruto and remembered what the Hokage Warned him about.

Flashback…

In the Hokage's office Sarutobi was addressing Kakashi. "Your Genin team will be a four man squad" Kakashi nodded. "They are Sauske Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and two others that you must beware of."

"Who are they, Hokage-sama?"

"They are Naruto Uzumaki and his "brother" Mitsuki Kitsune." Sarutobi looked into Kakashi's eyes with a serious look. "Don't let your guard down when those two are together or they will prank you like never before."

Naruto, Sakura and Sauske were a bit confused until Meitsuki spoke up, "What's wrong sensei? Did I…put too much itching powder?" Sakura, Naruto and Mitsuki's laughter rang throughout the academy.

On the roof Kakashi was leaning on the railing itch free after washing his head off of the itchy powder, while Naruto, Mitsuki, Sakura and Sasuke were seated at the steps.

"Alright, let's begin by introducing yourselves" Kakashi said.

Sakura, confused, asked, "Like how, sensei?"

"Oh, well how about your like and dislike, dreams, hobbies those sort of things."

"Well why don't you go first, sensei?" Naruto asked as he stared at him intently.

"Ok, well, my name Kakashi Hatake, my like and dislike… well they're none of your business, my dreams of the future…hmm… and I have many hobbies." Kakashi said

"All he told us…was his name" Sakura whispered. Naruto and Mitsuki nodded in agreement.

Ignoring the comment Kakashi said, "Now it's your turn, why don't we start on the right"

Naruto was the right most, "Right, My names Naruto Uzumaki. What I like is my brother Mitsuki and ramen. I especially like the ramen Iruka pays for… I dislike the three minute wait for the ramen to cook, and my dream is…" 'Does he only think about ramen' Kakashi thought. "To be Hokage then everyone will have to respect me…" Kakashi was stunned 'So he's grown in an interesting way' "My hobbies…pranks with Mitsuki I guess…" 'I know that for sure' Kakashi thought as he patted his head.

"Next"

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. There are lots of things I dislike and I don't really like anything. I really can't call it a dream…but an ambition…to resurrect my clan…and to kill a certain someone." Naruto was nervous Sakura was star struck and Mitsuki well he had bored look.

'Just as I thought' "Ok… now for the girl"

"My name is Sakura Haruno. The thing I like…" She looked to Sasuke and blushed. "…Well the person I like is…and um my dream for the future is…"She squealed.

'…'

"I dislike Naruto!" Naruto looked as though someone punched his gut. "My hobbies…"and again she looked to Sasuke.

'Seem girls these age are more into love than Ninjutsu' "alright now for fox-boy" He said pointing to Mitsuki.

"My name is Mitsuki Kitsune What I like is none of your business and what I dislike…well loud noises are one thing and…" Suddenly Mitsuki got a dark-feral look in his eyes. "…everyone in the village, everyone but my brother, Iruka-sensei and Sarutobi-jiji" Naruto was the only one that was not affected by Mitsuki statement. 'I guess he and Naruto are different from each other, though I don't blame him especially since he is like a half-breed demon.' "My dream for the future is to become the strongest Ninja in Konohagakure and to help Naruto fulfill his dream too or become the Hokage if he can't" that earned him a tackle from Naruto and soon enough they were wrestling on the ground with Mitsuki getting the better of Naruto.

Kakashi thought as looked at them. 'They act like they are blood related' "Alright now that that's out of the lets begin our Shinobi duties."

Though Naruto was pinned down by Mitsuki he said, "Oh Yeah? What kind of duties, huh?" everyone looked to Kakashi.

Crossing his arms he simply stated, "First, we're going to do something the five of us can do"

"what? What is it?" Naruto asked. Mitsuki suddenly didn't feel right so he got off of Naruto.

"It's a survival exercise"

"Survival exercise?" Naruto repeated.

"…" was Sasuke only response.

Mitsuki sensed something was wrong, but what he didn't know what.

"Huh? But weren't our school days full of survival training?" Sakura asked.

"Yes, but you'll have to survive…against me." Kakashi stated. "It won't be your typical practice though."

Naruto became curious. "Well, what kind is it?"

His answer was a short laugh, but that was enough for Mitsuki's animal instincts to tell him that something was defiantly wrong. "What's so funny sensei?"He asked trying to stay calm.

"Oh nothing, just that…if I told you, you'd chicken out. You see of the twenty-seven members only nine will actually pass. The other eighteen must go back to the academy." He placed his chin on the palm of his hand and his face grew dark. "The test we are about to do has a sixty-six percent chance of failure"

To say that they were shocked was an understatement. He saw their face and the fear on them. "Ha Ha, see? You're scared all ready!"

They didn't think it was funny. He got up, "before you say anything let me explain. The "graduation" was to eliminate the hopeless from your rank. The ones that are left are the one that show potential." He placed his left arm across his chest with his right elbow on top and put thumb to his chin. "Well in any case we'll meet at the practice field tomorrow so I can evaluate each of your skills and weaknesses. Bring all your ninja tools and weapons. Oh, and don't eat breakfast beforehand…unless you enjoy vomiting." Mitsuki animal instinct told him that he lied...somehow. Kakashi grabbed a fold of papers and passed them to his students when he got to Mitsuki he saw the way the boy was looking at him and the way his tail swayed and ears flattened. 'He may have found out the truth already, maybe'. "The details are in the handout you now have. Memorize them and don't be late." Kakashi then left in a plume of smoke.

And with that Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke left leaving Mitsuki behind standing on the roof looking around the near rooftop areas. In the shadows Kakashi watched him. 'It's not easy to deceive a real Kitsune, well an almost real one, this is going to be interesting' He merged with the shadow as he saw Naruto come back out and shout to his brother. Mitsuki shouted back and started to walk to Naruto and the door but not before he looked back searching the area one last time. Semi-satisfied he ran to Naruto and they left. Kakashi came out of the shadow, "They may be a team worth mentioning, one day."

At Naruto and Mitsuki's house, Naruto was training and that training was keeping Mitsuki up. So the irritated boy got out of bed and went to the kitchen all the while Naruto didn't notice a thing. Mitsuki came back and had frying pan in both hands. He brought it over his head and smashed it against Naruto knocking him out cold. He placed the pan back in the kitchen and went to bed for a nice, quiet and peaceful rest.

The next day team seven were at the practice ground as told and the sun wasn't even up yet. They greeted each other with grunts. Naruto sported a big bump on the back of his head. When Sakura asked how he got it Mitsuki, who was wearing a small black trench coat that was cut above his tail down, stated that he fell off the bed. And thus the waiting begins

One hour later…

The sun rose in the sky and their sensei was a no-show. Naruto and Mitsuki were arguing about what was better; Ramen or Fried Tofu. Sakura just listened while not getting involved. Sasuke leaned against the nearest tree apart from them in hopes of getting enough sleep before the test.

Two hours later…

Sakura was standing at the logs with one hand up while Naruto, Mitsuki and Sasuke were facing each other. "Ready… Begin!" she chopped the air giving the signal to start.

They charged, Sasuke after Naruto, Naruto after Sasuke and Mitsuki after them both. The fight ended with all three knocked out at the same time and Sakura was standing there a little stunned that it was over so fast. "Humph. Boys!" she went to one of the upright log sat against it and slept.

Three hours later…

Kakashi had finally showed up. "YOU'RE LATE!" Sakura, Naruto and Mitsuki yelled in unison while Sasuke glared from afar.

"Sorry, A black cat crossed my path so I to took the long way to get here." They didn't believe a word he said one bit. He pulled out a timer and set it on one of the logs. "Alright this is set to go off at noon." He then pulled out some bells. "These bells are your goals."

Sakura then saw that there were only three of them, "sensei, why are there only three bells?"

Kakashi smiled at her as he said, "well, three of you will get to eat while the fourth gets to watch the others eat in front of him… or her."

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura's stomachs grumbled from mention of food while Mitsuki seemed undisturbed by it.

"If one of you fails to get a bell by that time will fail and be sent back to the school. Oh and you can use Shuriken and kunai too."

Sakura was shocked. "But you'll get hurt!"

Naruto wrapped his left arm around Mitsuki and said. "Yeah, you're so slow that our trap got you!"

"Usually it's the dunces that are the weak link in a team." Naruto got mad at being called dunce "So when I say start you…" Naruto and Mitsuki got angry. Naruto's anger got the better of him as reached and pulled out a kunai, he raised it above his head and when he was about to charge he felt something grasp his right hand and the kunai was turned against him in his own hand. "I didn't say start" All four of them were shock at how fast he was. "But since you came at me-Arg" Suddenly he got a round-house kick from Mitsuki that sent him flying away from Naruto.

Naruto placed the kunai back and looked to where their sensei was and stuck his tongue at him. "Hah, now who's a dunce?"

Kakashi got up and stared 'They set me up. Naruto was the bait and I fell for it like a fresh Genin' He looked to Mitsuki, whose tail was swaying happily, then to Naruto, who was grinning like a mad man, and smiled behind his mask. Sasuke was surprised that they were able to trap and strike a Jonin like that. Sakura looked like she was going to faint.

'Better watch my back if those two were to pair up they might actually get a bell' Kakashi walked back to the clock. "Well now, my perspective of you guys rose a little. Now…START." And they were gone in seconds.

Thirty minutes Kakashi stood in the clearing listening carefully to any indication of their hiding spot. 'Well at least they know how to hide' when he looked straight ahead he saw Naruto but his demon-like brother wasn't with this time.

Naruto raised his left arm and gave Kakashi a thumb down, "I'm going to take you down"

"Oh really well then let me teach about Taijutsu then" Naruto charged and Kakashi reached behind his back and into his pouch that stop Naruto.

"Hey I thought you said that this was going to be about Taijutsu!" Naruto said and that when Kakashi pulled a book. Kakashi opened it and started reading. Confusing and irritating Naruto "Hey! I thought you were going to fight not read some stupid book!"

"Hmm, well I'm just going to read this and besides you won't be able to touch me" Kakashi stated as he turned a page. Naruto charged and tried to round house Kakashi's head but he ducked down, Naruto used the momentum to throw a right punch but this time Kakashi disappeared in a plume of smoke. Naruto tried looking for him. Sakura and Sasuke saw Kakashi appear behind Naruto with his hand wrapped around his book.

'That's a tiger hand sign he's going to use a fire jutsu?' Sasuke thought.

'Oh no, Kakashi-sensei is going use a jutsu against Naruto?' Sakura then got out of her hiding spot and yelled, "Naruto he's behind run he'll kill you!"

"Huh?" Naruto slowly turned.

"To late," Kakashi pulled back both hand. "Secret finger Jutsu; thousand years of death!" He then trusted his fingers up Naruto ass. Naruto stood stock still for a second then shot into the air with a squeal of pain and landed in the nearby river.

Sakura was back in hiding but looked disgusted. 'He just stuck his finger up Naruto's butt.'

With Sasuke he looked equally disgusted. 'They're both idiots.'

Kakashi stood up and started to walk to the river as Naruto came out. "Going head on was stupid."

Naruto shook himself. "Yeah, but this isn't" and that's when a half a dozen Naruto jumped out of the water and charge towards Kakashi. Each one was leaving a wet shoe print.

'So the rumor is true, he really did beat Mizuki with the Shadow Clone Jutsu.' Kakashi thought.

Sasuke was awestruck 'those aren't just clones they're real.' Sakura was impressed as well. 'When did become so cool.' she thought.

Kakashi was about to brace himself for a fight but found that he had been caught, by a clone from behind. "What? How did he get behind me?"

"Surprised sensei," said all the Naruto clones. "I sent a clone to go around you and catch you off guard. And now it's payback time!"

Naruto pulled his right back and sent straight to Kakashi's masked face only to see his clone take the punch. At first Naruto was shocked, how'd he punch his clone? And where was Kakashi? 'He must've transformed into me.' Naruto thought. He pointed to a random clone and shouted, "You're Kakashi-sensei!" And then all the Naruto's were fighting amongst each other till only the real Naruto was left battered and bruised with even less admiration from his human teammates. A flicker of light caught his attention he turn to he saw it and there it was a bell.

"Alright, this must be my lucky day" he said as ran to pick the bell up. "Heh heh, now I get to have lunch-ahh!" A trap had sprung ensnaring one of his ankles and pulling him up to the branches. Kakashi appeared in front of Naruto as said boy was yelling to him to get him down. He ignored Naruto and pick up the bait he left.

Kakashi sighed. "Naruto, you have to look underneath the underneath, got it?"

Naruto was not getting what he said. "Yeah yeah, I got it! Now get me down so I can bash your face in!"

Again Kakashi sighed. "No, you don't get. If you did get then you be here hanging if you did, do you get it?" his words made no sense at all.

As Kakashi was giving a confusing lecture to Naruto, Sasuke saw this as chance to attack so he grabbed every shuriken and kunai he could hold and launched them all towards Kakashi. Each one hit its mark and just before Kakashi hit the ground he puffed into a log. Sasuke panicked, 'He used a substitution Jutsu again…and I fell for it, damn it!' Sasuke had no choice but to run as he just gave away his position.

Meanwhile Sakura was hopping from branch to branch in hopes of finding Sasuke when she spotted Kakashi. She quickly took cover 'good he didn't see me.'

"Hey, Sakura, behind you."

Sakura turned fast and came face to face with…Kakashi.

…Naruto…

Naruto had finally cut the string that held him up. "Read the hidden meaning within the hidden meaning, yeah right!" He flipped and landed only for another trap to spring and pull him right back up the tree again. "NOT AGAIN! Damn it! He set a second trap under the first one!"

…Sakura…

On minute she was behind a bush and the next she was in a clearing alone. "W-What happened? What was that? Where'd he go?"

"Sakura…"

'Gasp…That sounds like…' "My Sasuke…!" She turned to find Sasuke covered in Kunais and shuriken his left arm slice in half, blood flowing freely and his left ankle broken and twisted.

"S-Sakura…h-help me…please!" begged the injured boy.

Sakura stared in horror, tears weld up at the corner of her eyes and then she let out a scream then fainted.

Hidden in the trees Kakashi was reading his book Make-out Paradise. "Hmm…I think that was too much."

…Sasuke…

'Sakura…' Sasuke thought. He heard her scream and stopped.

"The second Ninjutsu skill, Genjutsu; the art of illusion: to fool ones enemy with hypnosis and create hallucinations" bells tingled. "And Sakura fell for it."

He may have beaten Naruto, Sakura and probably that freak…but…' "I'm not like them."

"Save it for when you get a bell…my Sasuke." Kakashi taunted.

They faced each other. "The strength of the Uchiha clan...The most Elite family in Konohagakure village…I'm forward to this…" Kakashi said as he looked up from his book.

Sasuke crouched and launched a barrage of shuriken at his sensei.

"A head-on attack won't work here" Stated Kakashi as he dodged them all. But one the shuriken had cut a rope. 'It's a trap?' daggers flew at him but he dodged it in time. As Kakashi skidded to a stop Sasuke appeared behind him and delivered a left heel kick, but Kakashi blocked it then grabbed Sasuke's ankle, before he could do anything Sasuke went for a right punch and but was grab and held by Kakashi's left hand. Sasuke wasn't done he then used the momentum to try and knee his opponents head and again he was blocked when Kakashi crossed his arm, but that left him wide open. And Sasuke went for it he reached for one of the bells. He was able to flick one until Kakashi pushed off from him.

'He's good,' Kakashi thought as he stopped. 'Well, I won't be able to read Make-out paradise'

…Sakura…

Sakura had finally gotten back up from her mouth foaming faint. "Huh…? Oh, Now I remember! Sasuke was dying and I…Sasuke-! Don't die…don't leave me" Sakura got up and rushed off. "Where are you?"

…Naruto…

Naruto was still hanging by the tree. He spotted something in the distance. "Huh? Is that a rock? Hey it's the tree stumps! So that's what it looks like from behind" He also saw what he hadn't had. "Alright it's the lunch boxes! Ninjas are supposed to read the hidden meaning within the hidden meaning, right?" Naruto suddenly got a big grin and laughed at what he had planned all he had to do now was find Mitsuki.

…Sasuke…

"I'll admit…you're not like the last two." Kakashi said. Sasuke was surprised that his teacher has only fought two out of four of them. First was Naruto, second was Sakura. So that would make him Kakashi's third target. 'I won't be his target' Sasuke then started making hand signs, he stopped at Tiger. 'Fire style, Fireball Jutsu!' He breathed in a lot of air.

Kakashi was surprised. 'That's an advance Jutsu. His chakra couldn't have developed enough to perform it yet' and that's when Sauske pinched his fingers together and blew out the air he sucked in creating a great ball of flame that engulfed Kakashi. When all the air was out and the flame extinguished. He saw that Kakashi was gone, vanished. He looked behind him then above but saw no trace of his sensei.

That until he heard. "Below you" Sasuke looked just in time to see two hands shoot up and grab both his ankles. "Earth style, Head hunter Jutsu!" he was then pulled straight to the ground till only his head was left visible to see.

Kakashi kneeled down to him. "Shinobi battle lesson number three…NinJutsu. But at least you were head and shoulder over your two comrades like you predicted" He rose and started to walk away. "Well you know what they say the nail that stick up, gets hammered first." And he was gone.

As Kakashi was rushing to see if Naruto had tried to take all the food for himself, He heard a twig snap. He stopped to check his surroundings when nothing appeared for ten minutes he walked off. Another ten minutes later a humanoid creature came out of the shadows, but as quickly as it came out it went back into hiding as Naruto made his way through. The creature watches Naruto and felt compelled to show itself to him. Its tail swayed, yet it stayed hidden. Instead it kept watching till he was almost out of sight, so it followed Naruto in hiding, out of sight.

…Meanwhile with Kakashi…

Kakashi had checked the lunchboxes but they were untouched. He looked at the tree he left Naruto at and saw only the cut ropes. He was turning when all of sudden he was kicked in the face; the force of the blow sent him flying. He flipped in the air and landed on his feet, he looked back at where he was attacked, nothing. 'Where'd that come from?' and again he was attacked but this time it was to his stomach it felt like a fist and then a sweep kick knocked him down, but before his head hit the ground he was kneed back up and kick in the head again this time into a tree. Before he could recover something rammed itself against him splintering the tree in the process. The pressure left him as he fell to the ground beaten and out of breath.

"Damn, I should've known that you were capable of this type of illusion," Kakashi spoke. "No wonder you have the nickname GenJutsu King. The Hokage told me to be weary of you; he said that you stayed in the academy because you chose to. Isn't that right, Mitsuki Kitsune…?"

The trees and ground shifted and shimmered out till everything went back to normal he wasn't anywhere near where he trapped Naruto or the lunch boxes, he was far from it. And there stood Mitsuki Kitsune his trench coat hanging on a near-by tree. Kakashi got up he was reaching for his book when he remembered that to underestimate him was a big mistake as well as the warning the Hokage gave him two days ago that not to at any cost hit Meitsuki in any vital spots or else he was a dead man just like the three Chunins. He then got into fighting position and prepared himself. He watched Meitsuki go on all fours. 'He may be more powerful than Sasuke. I better watch out'

While they stood still, a single leaf floated slowly to the ground. When it touched the ground it set off a silent signal for Kakashi and Mitsuki to charge each other.
