Naruto's Bell Test

Naruto headed strait to Kakashi's apartment and got 3 bells for the test. "The good old Bell test, a good way to get these kids on their toes," Naruto said playing with them, "Never did I imagine that I'll be the ones giving the test."

At Training ground 7 Hizashi Rin Shikaru and Tina waited for their sensei. "So our parents did know him?" Tina asked. "Yeah, mine even been assign on the same squad as him," Rin told her. Naruto was at a tree at that point, "Hey students, ready for your test?" Naruto asked. Apparently that was a bad idea as everyone gave him a glare. "Sensei your 5 minutes late," Hizashi shouted. "5 mins isn't that bad, My sensei used to be an hour late," Naruto commented.

He heard snoring and looked down to see Shikaru sleeping. "Shikaru Narra wake up!" Naruto said hitting Shikaru on the head. "Sensei I had a good dream," Shikaru said. "Sleep when we're done not when we're about to begin," Naruto told him. Tina and Rin laughed at their teammates pain. Naruto took out his alarm clock that was set to go off at noon on a pole and took out 3 bells. "Here it is, if you 4 manage to get these bells from me, I could pass you. You have to noon to get them. If none of you get the bells or one or 2 of you get the bells then those who doesn't fails," Naruto explained. "Um sensei, there's only 3 bells," Tina pointed out. "That's right 3 bells meaning one of you will fail anyway," Naruto explained, "It seems unfair but in the world of Ninjas, whether or not its fair, you have to face some risk. Hyuga Uchiha Akamichi and Narra clans are known for the shinobies and Konochis that came from those clans, matter if those great shinobies are lazy active or serious."

"All you have to do is fight me with out holding back, or you will never get the bells," Naruto explained, "And the test starts now!" Team 7 split up as they were ready for this. The team regrouped far from Naruto's sight. "What do we do now?" Tina asked. "I don't want to fail, but I don't want to fail either," Rin explained. "One of us has to make the sacrifice and be sent back to the academy," Hizashi explained. "I will," Shikaru said with a sigh. "What no, you're the brains of this team," Rin told him. "Yeah, and I'm the laziest of the team," Shikaru reminded them, "If I pass I'll just hold everyone back. No, instead if I get a bell I'll give it away." Shikaru explained. "Well first we need to get the bells and I got an idea how," Rin said.

Naruto played with the bells while looking for his students. "How hard is it to find 4 Genin?" Naruto wandered. "Naruto-sensei," He heard Tina shouted. He turned around and saw Tina and Hizashi in possession for battle. "Akamichi and Hyuga, I didn't expected you two to come out first," Naruto said. "Shows that you need to learn more about your teammates," Tina said. Hizashi activated his Byatogan, which didn't faze Naruto, as he knew the gentle fist was coming up. "Partial expansion jutsu: Right Arm" Tina shouted as she used it expand her arm long enough to try to punch Naruto. Naruto dodge the attack surprised at his student. "Partial Expansion jutsu? That technique took your dad months to master it, how did you master it?" Naruto asked. "I didn't want to know the expansion jutsu just to make me fat, so my dad taught me this instead," Tina explained. "Definitely Ino's daughter," Naruto thought. The Kunais came at Naruto set to pin him to the tree. Naruto took out Shurikans and threw them deflecting the attack. "Nice try Hizashi," Naruto commented. Then a twister of flames came at Naruto pinning him to a tree. "Great job Shikaru Rin," Tina shouted. This time when Hizashi threw kunai Naruto was pinned. "Mind Transfer Jutsu" Tina shouted making a circle with her hands as she took over Naruto.

When Naruto gain control again he woke up to find Rin Hizashi and Tina with a bell. "Congratulations, but May I ask why you, Shikaru, choose not to get a bell?" Naruto asked. "I thought if there was one person on the team that should go back it should be me, since I'm the laziest and will hold my team back cause of it," Shikaru told them. "Hey, that's not true," Rin shouted, "If it hasn't been for your wind style jutsu and my fire style jutsu combine Hizashi wouldn't have been able to pin Naruto-sensei to the tree long enough of Tina to use her jutsu," Rin said. "She has a point Shikaru," Hizashi told them. "Enough," Naruto shouted, "that was your final test and you pass," Naruto told them. "Huh?" They asked. "The test was to see how good you are as a team even under pressure that only one of you will fail. Same situation you would find yourself in a mission. And since you just prove my point you all pass." "Yay," Rin and Tina shouted. Hizashi just smirked. Shikaru looked at the Konochi and said, "Troublesome." "Lunch is on me. Rin, where do you want to go to eat?" Naruto asked. "Huh, your asking me?" Rin asked. "Yes you see yesterday I took you to my favorite place to eat, and as of now on when ever we're done with something like this we'll take turns choosing our favorite places to eat my treat," Naruto explained. They went to Rin's favorite place to eat, and then headed home.

Hizashi came home with the room quiet. "Mom Dad, I'm back and we passed our test," Hizashi shouted. The room remained quiet. He found a note on the fridge explaining the situation.

Hizashi,

Sorry your father and I can be home to here about your test, but we've been called on a mission. You'll be staying at Hinata's place. Wait for her untill she returns from her test this time.

Mom

Hizashi grabbed his stuff and headed to Hinata's suite which was in the main branch section of the Hyuga mansion. Hiashi walked by when he saw his great nephew walking his way. "Good afternoon Hizashi! I trust that you and your teammates passed?" Hiashi asked. "Yes sir," Hizashi said with a smile as he walked off.

At the Akamichi residence Tina just told her parents that she passed. "So Naruto passed your team?" Choji asked. "Yep, and I got to use the partial expansion jutsu and the Mind Transfer Jutsu," Tina explained. "That's our girl," Choji said hugging his daughter. "Hey Tina, are you sure you don't want anything to eat?" Ino asked. "No mom, Naruto-sensei took us out to eat at Rin's favorite restaurant," Tina explained.

At the Nara residence Shikaru told his parents the good news. Temari went ahead and trained him personally and Shikamaru played Shoji with his son. At the Uchiha Residence Sasuke taught Rin the Phoenix Flower Jutsu as graduation. Sakura made them Rin's favorite meal for dinner.

At the Hokage's mansion Naruto Lee and Hinata was standing infront of Tsunade. "So Team 7, 8, and 9 passed. Agree," Tsunade said stamping each paperwork. Tommorow you'll take your team for their first mission. Lee your team tommorow is to weed out the weeds of the gardens. Hinata your team is to babysit the feudal lord's son. And Naruto yours is to mind a shop." "And so the D-Rank missions begins," Naruto commented.
