Disclaimer: I wish I owned Naruto!
Summery: Before the final phase of the Chuunin exams, Naruto begs Kakashi for extra training and is denied! Naruto doesn't take it very well.

"Splat… Splat!… Splat…. Splat!"

'Come on Naruto! Concentrate! Your big toe sank in a little and that is not acceptable!' I yelled at my self.

I had just experienced the strangest day of my life and was now in the process of training.

My day had been horribly straining. First I had to meet up with Ebisu. I knew that he wasn't a good choice but I felt that if Kakashi had chosen him then there must be a reason.

However, the decision to give him a shot didn't mean that I wasn't gonna test him out first. No way was I going to listen to someone who not only didn't respect me but who also had lost to me once already.

Oh sure, my Sexy Jutsu was kinda cheating but he so fell for it!

I shouted a bunch of crap about him being weak till he finally gave in and let me test him. I had to try to run away and he had to try to catch me. I used every trick I had from my pranking days.

He will never know it but I let him catch me every time. I may not be the smartest guy in the world but I am the king of pranks and getting away after. I had, after all, evaded the Anbu after painting the Hokage Mountain.

I just wanted to see how he would treat me when he caught me or if he would use this as an excuse to get out of training me. The fact that he gave it his all was enough to give him a chance.

He was right about my needing to improve my chakra control, but he didn't really get the chance to help at all.

The closet pervert had the nerve to yell at the open pervert for peeking at women.They had a fight and Ebisu got knocked out!

I had to waist a lot more time convincing this new idiot to train me. He finally gave in to my charm after being harassed for several hours.

I still don't know what he did to my seal but it hurt like hell! Whatever he did to me, it worked. I ran out onto the water like a pro.

The lazy old guy called it quits for the night when the girls he was watching left. I walked back with him but after we parted, I headed strait back to the river to practice. I figured that if I could make chakra control second nature, then I would be that much better off.

I tried juggling logs and running laps at first to teach myself to push it to the back of my mind. Then I started practicing jutsu and tumbling.

"Splash!"

Unfortunately, concentrated chakra on your feet isn't much help with a somersault.

I realized a little too late that if I want to touch the water with other parts of my body, I have to use chakra on them as well.

That was very hard. I used up the rest of my chakra reserves working on tumbling, until the sun went down.

Let me tell you now, there are just some positions that you were not meant to fall into water in. For example, when you are doing a handstand and loose your concentration, the water enters your nose so fast that either your eyes will be forcibly evicted or your nose will peal back to kiss your hairline.

Either way, you will cry… a lot!

You are under water though so no one has to know.I used the last of my strength to crawl back to my apartment and die, uh… I mean fall on my bed and go to sleep.

As tired as I was, I still could not help but wonder where Kakashi and Sasuke were and if my Sensei missed me at all.

I was determined to get strong enough to not only pass the exam, but to make Kakashi impressed and proud!

KAKASHI

The next day, I jumped out of my bed with renewed energy and vigor!

……

OK, So maybe it was more like rolled out of bed with a groan and a prayer.

I did manage to cook my ramen without burning myself once and only took one sip of the milk before I realized it was going sour.

By the time I was ready to go, my usual hyper activity had returned. I am not a morning person but when I finally to wake up, I become the energizer bunny.

I met up with the pervert who shall forever be known as Ero-sennin from now on.

I don't need to tell you much about that boring day. Nothing important happened at all. I just made a fool of myself for hours, then was forced to do a lot of stupid stuff.

He acted like this was my last day to live, he made me eat at Ichiraku's, and told me to hug the girl of my dreams. I couldn't exactly tell him that it was more like boy of my dreams and that I didn't know where he was, so I faked it with Sakura and got a punch to the face for my troubles.

Then the old fool takes me to a high cliff and pushed me off!

That bastard actually shoved me into a deep ravine!

After nearly crapping myself, I suddenly found myself in a damp sewer.

'What the hell?" I thought.

I walked down the corridor till I came across this huge prison cell with a small scrap of paper on it.

'Holy fucking shit!' was about the only intelligent thought in my head as THE KYUUBI approached the bars.

"Kid, come closer" he demanded.

Hesitantly, I inched forward. A massive claw thrashed through the bars at me as I fell back.

\"I want to devour you, but this gate will not open." The deep voice rumbled. "It is a detestable seal."

I was so afraid that my pounding heart was making my feet hurt with the pressure from the force of my blood circulation.

"Your…" I whimpered "the Kyuubi."

"You came to me this time." He responded. "Why did you come here?"

I took a deep breath and swallowed my fear. I would not show fear to any one, not even him. "Hey, you dumb fox! Since you're staying in my body, give me your chakra as rent!"

His evil laugh gave me shivers of the bad variety. "You are saying that if you die, I'm going to die as well? You have guts, blackmailing me like that." A pool of red chakra surrounded me in a strangling grip.

"Very well. It's a reward for coming all the way here. I'll give it to you."All at once, I was back in the ravine yet no longer afraid.

I knew what I had to do to survive. I bit my thumb hard and formed the seal that the pervert had shown me. I prayed with all of my might that this time I would summon the biggest frog of them all and not some stupid tadpole.

Oh ya, I forgot that I had glossed over that part.

The part about making a fool of myself was referring to my inability to summon a decent frog.

You can't blame a guy for trying to omit such an embarrassing display now can ya?

Anyway, I tried with all of my might and found myself sitting on the head of a frog bigger than the ninja academy!

"Where the hell am I?" He grumbled.

He was the Frog Boss Gamabunta, and he was very pissed at me.We had a long battle of wills for the rest of the day, which landed me in the hospital due to chakra exhaustion.

I think that I won a small bit of respect from him and that is all that I can truly want from anyone.

I spent the rest of the month training my ass off . I knew that the next time that I could see Kakashi would be at the exam and I was bound and determined that he would be impressed.

After all of that work and worrying, can you imagine my disappointment when they showed up to late to see me compete?

I had given it my all to beat that stuck up snob Neji and the only person that I wanted to be in the audience, wasn't there.

It shouldn't have hurt near as much as it did.

When he finally did appear, it was with a flash swirl of leaves and as much flare as they could get away with without seaming any less cool.

I wanted nothing more then to go down there and beat the tar out of both of them. I wanted to wring their necks and bash there heads together.

I also wanted to hug them tight in gratitude that they made it in time and where both safe and sound.

I wish that I could have stayed relived for a lot longer though. On the way back into the stands, Shikamaru and I saw the sand bastard kill two men in cold blood. What made it worse, was the fact that they appeared to be Jounin.

I watched the match and realized that Gaara would not rest until his prey was dead.

If he followed Lee to the hospital to finish him off, then he would certainly do everything in his power to kill Sasuke.

I rushed to Kakashi with my concerns and in front of every one, he told me not to worry.

He had more faith in Sasuke's abilities then in my word that this was a bad idea.

For the moment, my worry over Sasuke would override my hurt from Kakashi.

Later however, the silver haired fool might have some trust to rebuild.
