Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or I obviously wouldn't be posting my fanfictions about it on this website...Instead i'd just have written the story and characters the way I want them to be! XD

This is how life in the Naruto Universe would be if I was a ninja of Konoha. Enjoy!

This occurs after the Land of Waves Arc and before the Chunin Exam Arc.

I consider this the Sutefanii Introduction Arc! XD

Naruto: The New Episode 21: Pass or Fail! Sutefanii is put to the test!

Just like before, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke met up to walk to the test together. The only difference was that they wouldn't be participating. Naruto stifled a yawn as Sakura stretched out her arms. Sasuke kept his eyes straight ahead, emotionless as usual.

When the three arrived near the three posts, they were surprised to see Sutefanii sitting on top of one, rubbing her eyes tiredly.

"I'm not usually a morning person, but I figured today's a special day so I should get a head start," she said cheerfully. Naruto jumped up onto one of the other posts next to her. Sasuke leaned against the other with Sakura hovering nearby.

"Think I'll be able to pass?" Sutefanii asked Naruto.

"Definitely. Believe it; you're going to do great!" he replied eagerly.

"Oh, Sakura – I took you're advice. Hopefully this test won't take too long…I'm starved!" Sutefanii looked over at Sakura, who was hiding an evil grin. Sasuke just shook his head at her.

"Sakura! Why did you – oh, hey Kakashi-sensei! You're actually on time!" Naruto nearly fell off the post in surprise as Kakashi walked towards them.

"Good morning everyone. Glad you all made it." Naruto and Sakura exchanged slightly confused looks. "Onto the test…it's very simple." He held up three silver bells, hanging by a thread. "Take one of these bells from me and you're on the team. You may use any weapons you'd like, because if you don't come at me with the full intent to kill me, you won't be able to take a bell."

"Um, sensei?"

"Yes, Sakura?"

"Is there a reason there are three bells and not one?" The pink-haired girl looked confused and concerned.

"I was just getting to that. Sutefanii will have one hour to take a bell. But as you all realized yesterday, there are only three genin per team. Therefore, when her solo hour is up…all FOUR of you will be fighting for a bell and a place on Team Seven. The one left without a bell will no longer be a genin and will not even be able to go back to the Academy," Kakashi finished.

Naruto turned bright red. "What?! After all that, we have to retake our test to be ninja on this team! I have to pass: I'm going to be Hokage someday!"

Sakura turned white. "Sensei, you can't do this to us! It's not fair, we passed already!" And no way will I be separated from Sasuke after all we've been through. Having Naruto on the team again would be better than that Sutefanii…I HAVE to get a bell! Sakura thought.

Sutefanii was motionless, and whatever smile had been on her face before was gone. I can't believe this, she thought. I basically broke up their team. I feel terrible…but this is my ONE shot at becoming a true genin of the Leaf Village. I've got to survive this test.

Sasuke looked up at the new girl. Well, she seems like she'd be better to have around than Sakura or Naruto…but I wonder if this is another one of Kakashi's teamwork tests. The dark-haired boy's eyes lit up with understanding. THAT'S IT!

Kakashi watched them all carefully take in this new information. "Whenever you're ready Sutefanii…"

"Right," she nodded and stood up quickly. Jumping down from the post, she eyed Kakashi carefully. She began circling him, her eyes searching the surroundings. "You're not going to make this really difficult? No Sharingan?"

"Nope. At least, not until you prove you're worthy." He smirked under his mask.

"What about a book? Surely you want to read…"

"I have a feeling you'll be a bit more challenging than the oth– " Suddenly, Sutefanii threw a series of shuriken and kunai at the jonin. She dashed into the nearby bushes as he deflected her weapons with his own.

Now that I'm hidden, I can strategize. Maybe I should waste my time and wait for the others to distract him. Or should I use my Akaruigan already? she wondered. Kakashi was scanning the area. Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura also glanced around.

OK, she can conceal herself well, and she was able to distract me pretty easily in order to attack. But can she actually get a bell from me? I wonder…the silver-haired sensei thought to himself.

A rustle in the bushes disturbed his thoughts. Oh, come on, you didn't really just ruin the suspense, did you? He headed over to the bushes. Sutefanii sprung out, armed with a kunai. Kakashi blocked the attack with the silver plate on his glove and took out his own weapon. The kunai clashed together, creating sparks.

"Go Sutefanii!" Naruto cried.

The brunette was a blur of movement, using both hands with kunai to attack. Kakashi easily kept up with her. As she failed to touch him yet again, he swung his knife at her neck. She bent backwards to avoid it and aimed a kick at his jaw. He dodged it, but she managed to land another kick on his right side, causing the bells to jingle tauntingly. She didn't bring her leg down fast enough though, and Kakashi used the time to grab her leg and lift her off the ground to try and throw her aside.

Sutefanii whipped a few shuriken at him while in the air, and he was forced to let go of her leg in order to block them. He grabbed hold of one and threw it back at her. Just as her fingers grazed a bell, the shuriken hit her in the back of the neck, lodging itself deeply in her skin.

She fell to her hands and knees in pain. Kakashi used the opportunity to distance himself from her and see if she would recover. Sutefanii looked up at him pitifully before dissolving into a cloud of smoke.

"A shadow clone? All that time, he was fighting a clone? How did it stay intact for so long?!" Sakura exclaimed. Kakashi's eyes also widened in surprise and he spun around to find the brown-haired girl.

Sasuke smirked in appreciation. She's actually pretty good…

Naruto grinned. "She uses the same move as me! Cool!"

Suddenly, two Sutefanii's burst from the trees and charged Kakashi from behind. He turned just in time to see the gleam in one's eyes before she punched him straight in the gut, knocking him onto his back.
