Raw

Chapter Two

Of course, once they stepped in the classroom 2 weeks later, they were met with looks of fear, horror, and contempt. Naruto drew the most attention; apparently walking around with a sword as big as you is uncommon. They sat at the back, Naruto and Shikamaru leaning their weapons against the back wall, Ino leaving hers on her utilities belt. They chatted freely, ignoring the odd stares they got from the other students.

Kiba, Sakura and Hinata were sitting in their normal seats, visibly shaking. Apparently, their little 'encounters' with the three made them look over their lives as shinobi. Are they strong enough? Can they fight? Will they survive?

Iruka stepped into the classroom, looking rather weary and sleep-deprived. Some of the more soft hearted students looked slightly worried, as the teacher dragged his feet to his desk; he set a couple papers and a clip board on his desk and looked over the students. He didn't try to settle them, and only allowed himself to watch, waiting for silence.

Eventually he got it as each kid inside the classroom became curious on why he was just standing at his desk staring at them with a small bit of sadness in his eyes, usually he would be yelling. Iruka walked around his desk and leaned on it crossing his arms, looking down as if trying to find words to say.

"You all," he started, "You all are now official shinobi. Genin. You will have a chance to go prove to yourself and the village that you are worthy of becoming a shinobi, who protect the village, and do their missions. Now, I was planning on giving out a lecture on the importance of being a genin, but I think I'll settle for giving you a few words I have learned over the years, through my own mistakes."

The newly made genin were interested, never did Iruka not give a lecture on a whim, never.

"Never leave a comrade behind. Follow your heart and gut instincts. Fight to protect, not earn." He let those quotes sink in before sighing and reaching behind him, grabbing the clipboard and speaking.

"Your back here to be put into a team of three people and a jounin sensei. These people are who you are going to work, fight, and live with for however long until your chuunin exams. The bonds you make with them will be carried with you for your whole life. Now the teams are, Team One….blah."

(Skipping to importantness)

"Team Seven, Uchiha Sasuke, " all females in the classroom sat on the edge of their seats, "Hyuuga Hinata" this brought on many cries of outrage, "and Aburame Shino. Your jounin sensei is Sarutobi Asuma."

"Team Eight, Akimichi Chouji, Haruno Sakura and Inuzuka Kiba. Your instructor is Yuuhi Kurenai." Sakura let out a screech of anger, bursting many ear drums.

Iruka went on, speaking a little bit louder to be heard over the pinkie. "Team nine, blah blah blah. Team Ten," he hesitated to speak their names, an expression akin to fear flitting across his face.

He cleared his throat "Team Ten, Uzumaki Naruto, Yamanaka Ino, and Nara Shikamaru. Your jounin instructor is Hatake Kakashi." The three evil devils in the back all smiled an equally evil and creepy smile. A thick apprehensive feeling layered over the classroom, all those in it shivered from an invisible wind.

The door slid open and let in a man and woman, the man puffing on a cigarette, and had a beard, wearing the standard jounin uniform. The woman had jet black hair, and red eyes, and was dressed in a…scroll…the two stopped in the center of the room and the woman spoke.

"Team Eight come with me." The man followed up with a "Team Seven your with me."

So, the teams all left after one another. Their sensei coming and leaving, and eventually all that were left was lonely Team Ten, each member glowering dangerously at the door.

Naruto had picked up Zansetsu (his sword- means Massacre) and began sharpening the blade. Shikamaru was polishing the handle of his scythe, which he had affectionately named Dokubutsu (means poison), Doku for short. Ino sat on the des beside them, absently fiddling with her hair as she stared off into space, a small smile placed on her pale face.

(TWO HOURS LATER!) :O

The door finally slid open, and a solver-haired head popped in…only to be greeted with a shower of senbon, some of which connected, a whip crack and a HUGE ASS sword. When the man composed himself, he looked at each genin critically, seemingly wanting to say something.

"First impressions…I don't like you." Three sets of killer intent hit him and he visibly twitched before shouldering it off.

"Meet me on the roof in ten minutes." He poofed out with shunshin before the three could get a word in.

His three genin sat in front of him, each in their own, characteristic pose. Ino had crossed her legs, and leaned her elbows on her knees looking impossibly bored, head lolling form side to side on its perch in her hands. Shikamaru was sprawled across the steps, leaning on a propped up arm on the top step, lazily watching clouds. Naruto had his gigantic sword somehow balanced across his knees and was openly glaring at him with dislike and hatred.

Oh ya, he'd hit the jackpot team.

Kakashi sighed and then started, "how about we get to know each other first? I'll point to you then you tell something about yourselves, like name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and dream for the future. Now you, girl go." He pointed to Ino, barely making the effort to lift his arm.

Ino lolled her head to the side and made a great show of sighing and lifting her head, "I am the great Yamanaka Ino, and I like blood and screams, and the art of torture, I dislike fangirls, the color pink and you, my hobbies are training and visiting Ibiki-kun, my dream….is not for you to know." She gave a lop-sided smile and winked at the fluster Kakashi. He wasn't expecting that.

"Okay, then you" Kakashi pointed to Shikamaru, who lifted his head to stare into his eyes, "Nara Shikamaru, I like weapons. I don't like you, or anyone else of authority, my hobbies are the same as Ino's and my dream is the same as well." He laid his head back down and ignored Kakashi, who had drawn his brows down.

"Okay then, you." The scarecrow waved at Naruto, who still had not let up his glare.

The blonde boy, "Uzumaki Naruto." He growled and said no more. Kakashi narrowed his eyes, staying quiet for a few moments before starting his annual speech.

"Well, I'm going to have to put you through a survival training test so that you can become actual genin." Kakashi paused for a few seconds, awaiting the confusion and disbelief he usually got from his new genins, only to be majorly disappointed.

Naruto and Ino were listening to Shikamaru who was murmuring quietly enough to not be heard by Kakashi. The scarecrow became annoyed and coughed to get their attention, when he got it he opened his mouth but the words were stolen from him by the Nara.

"You're going to test us so you can tell if we deserve to become ninja, and knowing your history, it will probably be on teamwork. Kakashi sensei, we three have been working together since we were six so you shouldn't have any worries about that." Kakashi had to take a few seconds to process the boy's words and only ended up glaring at him in the end.

"Tomorrow at 7:00, training ground seven." he poofed off the roof onto a higher point to observe his new students.

Naruto growled at the jounin, cursing him under his breath. The blonde boy turned to his teammates and said, "Let's go get some food, and then crash at Shika's house."

Shikamaru stood with Doku in his hand, and started walking to the edge of the roof, Naruto followed with Zansetsu and Ino filing her nails. All three jumped of the edge without any hesitance and fell the two story length of the wall to land in crouches on the ground. Kakashi marveled at how Naruto could land with that gigantic sword of his without breaking his shoulder.

The three walked on down the street, paying no attention to the looks and glares of the villagers. Kakashi followed behind, on the rooftops, ignoring the other people jumping along the Shinobi Highway™.

Ino leaned back and stared at the sky, humming to herself. With her left hand, she silently signaled to her teammates of the stalker on high, using the hand signals thought up by Shikamaru.

Naruto stopped in the middle of the road, staring off to the right. His teammates paused and looked at him. The blonde's face was lost in thought, a slight half smile on his lips. His eyesight was focused on a small park, complete with swings, a slide, and monkey bars. It was a very familiar park.

Flashback

Naruto sat on the swing, absently staring at the other kids in the playground. There weren't many, as most of the parents took their child away when he entered, and the ones that were there played on the other side of the park.

A little bit earlier a rather brave little boy with brown hair and red triangles on his face had come up to him asking to play. He had received a rather vicious and violent glare in return, sending the poor doggy with his tail between his legs.

Also a little while ago, three older boys, seeming about 10 years old had walked up and superiorly demanded him to leave the swings, so they could play there. When he didn't move, one became angered and charged at him.

The smaller blonde boy had grabbed his outstretched arm, snapped it backwards and had thrown the boy by his broken arm to the others' feet. When the other two charged at him, he shot both his feet into their stomachs and then broke ones' nose with his fist and the other's jaw with his foot.

Silence reigned in the playground as the boys crawled away, fear evident in their eyes. At least the silence lasted until two other children walked up to him, slowly and non-threatening.

A boy and girl, blonde and brunette, stood in front of him. The brunette hand his hands in his pockets and was calmly looking into his eyes. There was a coldness behind the brown irises, something akin to ice. The girl had her head tilted to the left and was rocking back and forth on her heels. Her expression and stance oozed playfulness and an under-coating of sadistic glee.

The girl spoke, "We would like to play your game." She smiled, along with the boy.

Naruto slowly began to smile, his large canines looking feral. There was something in the two's faces he recognized, it was the same thing he saw every time he looked in a mirror. He knew, deep in his chest that they shared a gift. When other people would say 'insanity' Naruto knew for a fact it was a bonus for the three anyways.

It allowed them to do anything they wanted to.

In unison, Naruto, Ino and Shikamaru smiled, completely demented, completely insane.

Flashback end (AN: somewhat disappointing to my tastes…sorry T.T)

"Remember?" Naruto spoke, a wild grin spreading on his face. Shikamaru tilted his head back and snorted, smirking, and started to walk away. Ino gave a derailed giggled and followed the genius, patting the blonde's bare arm as she passed. Kyuubi's container smirked and followed, hiking Zansetsu higher on his shoulder.

Kakashi, who was quite confused followed them, still on the roof and watched them enter a restaurant called Teriyaki Place, and sit down at a table with a large window. The copy nin focused some chakra to his ears to listen into their conversation.

"So, when's the teach getting back?" Naruto spoke, who was this teacher Kakashi wondered.

"He last said the mission was a two month. So near the 15th I would say. By the way Naru, we need to get some tattoos." Shikamaru

"Why?" two voices at once, Ino and Naruto

"So we can seal Doku and Zansetsu into them. We can't carry them around all the time."

"And you know how to do this?"

"No, but I know about someone who can."

Kakashi was astounded. The Nara boy spoke with wisdom and intelligence way beyond his years. The copy nin had never met someone, genin or even jounin with that amount of….knowing in his voice. He decided then and there to find out more.

Naruto had already begun to scarf down all the meat, but leaving out three pieces, almost as if from habit. Shikamaru took two and Ino one. Kakashi frowned. Only years of being together would get such habit sunk in. How long had they known each other? They said they had worked together since they were six, was it then?

Suddenly Naruto began laughing, a barking sound that somehow echoed in the noisy restaurant.

"I wonder what happened to that Anbu….you know the one yesterday?" the other two seemed to know what he was talking about and both grinned in their own way.

"Bet his buddies came back and picked up the pieces." Ino giggled, holding a hand over her small mouth.

"Depends what they pick up, Naru didn't really leave anything behind. Did you hear him squeal right when Zansetsu chopped him in half?" Shikamaru scoffed cruelly, earning himself raucous laughter from the other two.

Kakashi, still listening in, was bristling in fury, absently letting his control over his chakra slip. Yesterday, there was a report filed of an Anbu found on a roof, hardly recognizable if not for blood tests.

He had been a great friend of Kakashi's when he was still in the Anbu forces, a very close friend from his squad. Something that surprised him out of his anger however, was the way they spoke of the death, as if they had scored a point and yet it was…gleeful. As if they were proud.

This shook him, no genin or non-genin should have such ease with killing. He decided to take this up with the Hokage, he tuned back into the three's conversation.

"So, what's up with that jounin, our new instructor" he spoke the word with palpable contempt, and Kakashi felt a little annoyed…the kid didn't even know him!

"Hatake Kakashi, Konoha's Copy Cat nin, known for copying more than a thousand techniques. But he didn't work for them, only stole them from their creators with his Sharingan eye, the one he got form his dead teammate. Apparently the guy saved him from dying and lost his own life, got the eye transferred and then at the kyuubi attack, he lost both his other teammate, a chick named Rin, and his sensei, the Yondaime. He was Anbu for a while and then retired to jounin. He's a special jounin, so he specializes in nin-jutsu. Apparently he now values teamwork over everything else, probably from when his father scrapped a mission to save his teammates and then killed himself, apparently Kakashi had also been an asshole when he was younger…anything else?"

Okay, maybe they did know him.

Shikamaru's intimate details about his life shook Kakashi to the bone. NOBODY knew that much about him, except maybe him himself.

"So, Kyuubi killed his sensei and teammate? Ha, won't he be happy to hear about that! The fox was always proud of all his kills." Naruto's almost casual statement cast Kakashi into another world. They knew about the kyuubi. If those three knew about the kyuubi, one of the most guarded secrets in the village, how much else did they know?

Kakashi jumped off, intending to find out more. Leaving behind three smirking genin-to-be's, all who glanced in his direction as his chakra signature sped off.

"Wonder how he'll take it, when he figures out what we are." Ino smiled gleefully, a metallic glint flashing across her eyes.

"Once we're strong enough, it won't matter at all." Shikamaru smirked, leaning back in his seat.

Kakashi examined his new students, watching their every move and interaction. They sat on the three training stumps in training field seven, watching him. There was amusement in their eyes, and evaluation.

His little 'talk' yesterday clearly had set something straight inside of him. Konoha wasn't the clean, safe, straight thinking village he thought it was…at all. In fact, it was just as low down as the others.

Flashback

He calmly walked through the door to the Hokage's office, hiding his worries beneath his mask. Sarutobi was sitting with his hands laced on the table in front of him, watching the jounin, a knowing look in his eyes.

"Who the hell are they?" both knew who he was talking about and Sarutobi sighed.

"They are our paid mercenaries." There was something in the Sandaime's voice he didn't recognize. Pride? Arrogance?

"Mercenaries?"

"They love to fight and kill Kakashi, that's all they want, that's all they do. They want to be known for unmerciful killings, they are insane Kakashi."

"S-so why do we keep them?"

"They would be our trump card in the coming war." Kakashi started, surprised.

"Yes, Kakashi, there is war brewing. According to Jiraiya's information Orochimaru has founded his own village. Sand is being controlled by the Kazekage, who has yet to release his grudge against us from the shinobi wars, and then there's Cloud, who still loath the Hyuuga, and then Stone. Their reason is obvious. It seems we are on the edge of a knife, and the council believes your new students can save us from that ultimate defeat."

Kakashi was somewhat confused, "How do they think that only three people can save us from that? It's not possible is it?"

"They have agreed that if their paid enough, and allowed as much fee reign as they want, they will fight on Konoha's side. Think of it, Kakashi! Our own three war monsters, leashed and under our control! We would reign supreme" Sarutobi's voice was laced with a small amount of joy; his eyes were shining with thoughts of beating the other village's at a shinobi match-up.

Kakashi shook his head, "There's no way we could keep them tame, and they would turn on us as soon as they were finished. You said it yourself, they are insane, and they wouldn't care at all, as long as they were paid."

Sarutobi glanced at him, "Don't worry Kakashi, all will be well in the end." Kakashi almost left at that moment, but remembered why he had come here in the first place.

"But, Hokage-sama, how do they know so much about our history, and secrets? They know about the kyuubi in Naruto, and all about me. How, though?" Sarutobi waved his hand in dismissal, still in his daydream.

"It was a part of their contract; they were allowed anything they wanted to know."

Noticing his obvious dismissal, Kakashi bowed and left his office as quick as he could, not wanting to face the….the….obvious glee on his leaders face.

The jounin knew in his heart that when their contract became null, those three would bring slaughter the village of Konoha. He was certain of it.

Flashback end (AN: I may have made Sarutobi OC but its all with the flow of the story. Bear with me.)

"I'm guessing you know the test?" Kakashi expected some answers, and he got a cryptic one.

"Teamwork"

Kakashi sighed and changed his plan slightly.

"Fine, instead of getting you to work together, I'll instead have a spar with each of you to evaluate your skills, any problems with that?" the smiles he got in return scared him slightly, even if they were only smiles.

"Who wants to go first?"

Shikamaru immediately stood up, walking forward without hesitation. Kakashi raised his eyebrow in question.

"My attacks don't kill at the get-go." was Shikamaru's response. Kakashi became a little bit more self conscious, maybe spars aren't the greatest idea.

'I think I'll take them seriously at the start…don't want to be overconfident now.' Kakashi's thoughts were purely on keeping himself alive.

The two settled into their stances, staring each other down. Ino stood between them, arm raised high.

"Hajime!"

Kakashi darted to the left, shoot three shuriken at the still Shikamaru. Who in turn shot out three senbon in precise order to hit all the shuriken and made all weapons fall to the ground.

Kakashi appeared behind the lazy boy and attempted a high kick to his head, hitting air instead when the boy ducked down and tried to sweep the jounin's feet out from under him. Kakashi leaped backward and shot four kunai at the boys back, who, when hit by them poof out of existence.

'A clone?!' Kakashi cast his eyes around him, trying to find a sign of the Nara. Acting on instinct, he jumped out of the way right when a cloud of weapons landed where he had stood before. He returned to watching but was shocked when a kunai ripped through his shirt. Turning around he was amazed at the sight of all the kunai and shuriken were hovering about the ground, seemingly by themselves.

Taking a closer look, Kakashi noticed that they were being guided by chakra lines leading from the handles of the weapons to the canopy of trees. The jounin smirked and followed one line, jumping quickly in its direction.

Leaping into the tree he thought contained the boy, Kakashi was surprised to see nothing. When he glanced onto the branches, that were COVERED in explosive notes, he started to speak, "That little sonova bi—"

KABOOOOMMMM!!

Naruto and Ino watched in interest as a slightly singed Kakashi stumbled out from the bushes. They suddenly started to laugh when the jounin suddenly started to dodge the multiple weapons flying at him. The two knew exactly where the boy was, for it was his favorite hiding place.

Kakashi, however, was too caught up in dodging to notice the shadow climbing across the ground towards his feet. He did though, when he suddenly stopped moving, he closed his eyes at the sight of multiple kunai headed at him.

There was the familiar pain of metal breaking through his skin, and he cried out. He felt a weapon come to a stop inside his arm, and another flew by his neck. His many wounds bled, and one particular kunai had been aimed for his left leg hamstrung.

Falling to his knees, Kakashi glared at Shikamaru, who had materialized out of a shadowy hole, from underground. Shikamaru smirked and suddenly burst into a thousand black feathers. It finally hit Kakashi that it was a genjutsu, though he couldn't remember when he fell under one.

He gathered his chakra and yelled "KAI!" to disperse it to be greeted by a smirking Shikamaru standing about two meters away from the kneeling Kakashi. The jounin jumped at him but faltered half way.

His vision became blurry and foggy, the image of his students distorted and weird. Shikamaru's words barely reached his ears.

"While you were in the genjutsu I nicked you a couple times with Dokubutsu, who is loaded with a special snake's venom I have come to possess. In Five minutes it will leave your entire body paralyzed and at the same time, eat away at your inner organs. So….do I pass….Kakashi." it wasn't even a question, but the jounin nodded his head feebly.

Shikamaru snorted and walked to a stop in front of the jounin. Pulling his head back by the hair, Shikamaru dripped four drops of a violet liquid into the man's….eye? He then dropped the Hatake and walked over to his friends to wait for the jounin to recover.

When Kakashi was able to function properly, he walked over to stand in front of his students and glared at Shikamaru. After panting for a few, he asked, "How…How did you get the genjutsu activated without me noticing?" Shikamaru smiled.

"I melded it with the atoms in the area, as complicated as that sounds its actually quite easy. See, you just lace your chakra with particles around, along with the matter in the vicinity ad then blend it with the victim's thought vibes. The victim has no idea that there's a genjutsu because it had been melded to their mind. The user can change the genjutsu on his wish, but if he doesn't, it just keeps evolving inside the victim's own mind."

The lengthy explanation was barely followed by the jounin.

"Basically, the victim makes the genjutsu on their own. You just add the chakra."

How smart was this kid?

"Alright, after I have gotten my strength back, who's fighting?" Ino stood up, fingering her whip that hung on her hip. She smiled coyly at the jounin.

"Hajime!"

Ino took her sickle off her hip; taking great care to hold it gently as she unfolded the metal. (The handle folds inwards and snaps in place when used in a fight.) Once she had that locked, she took the whip of and unraveled it, allowing it to turn and tumble freely across the ground.

Kakashi once again settled into his stance, carefully keeping an eye on the girl's whip. Ino smiled unsettlingly, turning her wrist idly, tightening her grip on the leather handle of the whip.

Kakashi caught her forearm muscles twitching and fell to the ground, a loud crack echoing above his head. Ino snarled at the miss, and swung again. Kakashi skidded to the side and rushed her, ducking under her sickle swing and punched up into her gut. Or what he thought was her gut.

With a poof, the kage bunshin disappeared, and Kakashi cursed, casting his eye(s) about for any sign of the flitting girl. She giggled, but Kakashi's talented ears couldn't discern from where.

Kakashi jumped to the left, in his place appeared Ino, her sickle ready to strike. Kakashi blocked its arc, but missed the whip lash, getting a cut on his right thigh. Kakashi flipped away, eyeing the girl. Ino lowered her head, so that her hair fell in her face and shadowed her eyes.

She grinned insanely, rolling her shoulders back. She whispered, her voice was low but could be heard in the clearing.

"How about we dance Kakashi? Let's pick up SPEED!" she flashed, and disappeared. Kakashi looked around, 'right, left, below….above!' he pushed himself back, just as Ino crashed into the ground and barreled after him.

The violent lashes of her whip made stinging gashes along his arms, legs and chest, while her sickle aimed for his head. Even as a jounin, Kakashi was having trouble keeping up with her strikes, they were jounin level speed at least!

Nearby, Naruto and Shikamaru were boredly sitting, ignoring the fight.

"Man, Ino loves playing with her food, doesn't she?" Naruto scratched at his bare chest.

"As do all torture specialists." There was a large crash and a gasp of pain, apparently, Ino had overwhelmed their 'sensei' and brought her sickle into his shoulder.

There was a tiny noise in the bushes behind the two boys. A small squeak, it was too low for anyone with human senses to notice, but Naruto's exceptionally sharp ears caught it, and his wild head whipped to the spot where it had come from.

Shikamaru watched him as he stood and stepped towards the bush. Another squeak emitted and Naruto plunged into the bush, catching familiar smells.

When he exited, he was dragging behind him, the newly made Team seven. Consisting of Hinata, who was scrunched into a ball, her eyes wide in terror, Sasuke, who was angrily kicking up a storm and trying to break out of Naruto's grip on the back of his collar, and Shino, who was allowing himself to be dragged, although there was angry buzzing happening around him.

Shikamaru snorted, "And what do you three think your doing?"

Sasuke glared at him, and then smirked contemptuously, "nothing of your concern deadlast. We three are genin, while you are going to be sent back to the acad—" he was cut off however, when Naruto's foot connected to his mouth.

"Shut your dirty mouth you fucking piece of pathetic shit." Naruto's eyes gleamed, and he dug his foot harder into the Uchiha's mouth.

"Please allow my students to stand Naruto-san…I would appreciate it." A voice sounded from the trees and out stepped the smoking man, Asuma.

Naruto barked a laugh, and dropped the three genin, who picked themselves up slowly, Sasuke wiping at his mouth, and shooting daggers out of his eyes at everyone who dared look at him.

"Whatever Smoker, they're not worth my time." His voice was gruff and bored. Naruto turned to where the fight was, only not find one.

Ino was standing victoriously over Kakashi's still body, proudly patting her sickle. When she looked up, her pride turned sour and she sulked, muttering to herself.

"Missed my fight did they…well, we'll just have to fix that…." Ino pouted, coming up to sit down beside Shikamaru.

Kakashi uttered a groan from on the ground, barely twitching a finger. Asuma frowned at him, and looked at Ino.

"What did you do to him?" Ino laughed.

"Oh...I only pinched this lovely little nerve near the base of the neck, not only does it give excruciating pain but it also paralyzes the body for about 5 minutes. I read about it…isn't it just beautiful?" her proud and excited grin set Team Seven off guard, and they hesitantly nodded, afraid to do much else.

During the five minutes another 20 for Kakashi to recuperate, team seven and Team Ten were completely ignoring each other. Team Seven was huddled with each other while trying to make it look that they weren't, while Team Ten lounged around, idly talking to one another, and casting amused glances at the somewhat frightened Team Seven.

"Alright, (pant) Naruto, it's your turn." Kakashi was still trying to catch his breath, but one blood pill and he was good as new…ish.

Naruto's face split into halves, his sadistic grin centered. His grip on his sword tightened and he climbed to his feet, almost shaking with excitement.

"Naru." Shikamaru broke the silence, "try not to kill him, only deal healable wounds." Naruto looked disappointed for a second before cracking his neck side to side. Hinata flinched, hiding her face in her hands at the surprisingly loud sound, while the other Team Seven members only grimaced, or in Shino's case….buzzed. (AN: XD)

Standing across from each other, Kakashi felt something odd begin squirming in his stomach. Fear…Naruto wasn't grinning for once; he had tilted his head up slightly and was looking at him from under his eyelids, Zansetsu driven into the ground beside him, the handle sticking up elegantly past the boy's shoulder.

The feral look in the boy's eye Kakashi had seen once before, when he was faced with a pack of wild rabid wolves, don't ask where. But he had seen that fury and…ferocious in the wild eyes of the wolf, it was unimaginable to see it in the eyes of a 12 year old kid.

"Hajime!"

Naruto stretched his muscled, bare arm towards his sword, and with terrifying slowness, pulled it out of the ground. Once fully settled on his shoulder, he looked up and said in a dreadful voice that put a fistful of lead in the pits of all those listening, "Are you ready, Ka-ka-shi?"

The boy blurred and there was only a slight whistling and shine before Zansetsu appeared where Kakashi had formerly been. Leaping back at the right instant, Kakashi had missed the stroke by his hair, and was panting with the adrenaline rush.

Naruto looked through his messy bangs at the jounin, smiling his own blood-lusting grin, sufficiently displaying his overly large canines. Kakashi felt a shiver roll down his spine and finally decided to get serious. He pulled up his headband and revealed his Sharingan eye, eliciting gasps from the watching Team Seven, and hungry grins from Team Ten.

Naruto dashed after the sensei, and Kakashi met him headlong with a kunai blocking his sword strike. Using his other hand, Kakashi aimed to gouge Naru's eye but fell through as the boy ducked, spinning on the handle of his sword and kicked him solidly in the chest.

Knocked backward, Kakashi had to keeping stepping back as he swiped attack after attack aside, Naruto's blows very nearly succeeding inn their interest of beheading him….or at least taking an arm off.

Meanwhile, Sasuke was brooding deep within his emo head, 'How could this….Dobe have more power than me? I should have it! I'm an Uchiha!' in preservation of innocent minds, lets leave the poor boy's delusional head.

Naruto's laughter was purely feral, a guttural sound that heaved from his throat. In a flicker, the boy had disappeared, leaving Kakashi gasping there. Looking around, it was only Kakashi's instincts and saved him from the great fireball Naruto exhaled from the air.

Kakashi was shaken; the kid was out for his blood.

Flipping two kunai into his hands, Kakashi whipped them at Naruto's head, fully intending to kill him. His kunai were swiped out of the air by clawed hands, before something quite odd happened.

Naruto turned around seemingly to charge and swipe at the jounin with Zansetsu, but instead of charging, he chucked the huge sword at the man. When Kakashi saw it coming his way, he almost panicked; nothing could prepare you for having a gigantic sword thrown at you, even if you're a special jounin. Dodging under it, Kakashi turned to his student, only to find a fist in his face.

"Momochi Zabuza's moves and image are quite satisfying, don't you" the boy kneed the man in the stomach, "agree sensei?" Kakashi had no time to answer, as he was forced into a taijustsu duel with the boy.

The two were flashing around the field in black and green blurs, and while Team Seven was gawking, the two other members of Team Ten sat idly bored. Ino was picking lint and dirt off her black shorts and purple, sleeveless shirt, while Shikamaru was scouring through the pockets his green khakis.

Laughter erupted from the battlefield, and it drew their attention. Apparently Naruto had broken through Kakashi's defenses and decked the man in the face. The jounin skidded back and then suddenly found himself being batted with the flat of Naruto's zanbato, bruises and welts rising aon his skin.

Wounds appeared all over his body, those watching could clearly hear the man's ribs breaking, and they felt an overwhelming pity.

"Naruto, he's beaten." Shikamaru's voice broke through Naruto's maniacal batting practice. Naruto's blue eyes flickered to the boy still seated on the ground, but listened. After one particularly hard hit, he let up, and watched as the tardy jounin tumbled across the ripped apart ground.

Asuma rushed to the fallen man, administering first aid where needed. Kakashi took a total of 9 minutes to feel healthy enough to sit up and glare at his 'students'.

"You pass, although, I do think you are by far stronger than a chuunin, for I haven't used jutsus, used my hidden weapon or even released my weights against the three of you. I hope for better spars in the future, for you are now officially Team Ten. Now get lost." Kakashi's glare could melt through metal, but the three brushed it off like flies.

"Don't worry Kashi, we were holding back, much like you. Have a nice day." Ino's parting comment was accompanied by Naruto deep, growling chuckling and Shikamaru's contemptuous snort.

Kakashi slumped up against the tree Asuma had dragged him to, and tiredly whispered under his breath, ignoring the people around him.

"Those three will be the horribly gory and painful death of me."

None of the other people who had witnessed the onslaught breathed a word, mostly cause they knew the jounins words to be true.

Those three would be the death of many.

READ THE BELOW-NESS-NESS! IMPORTANT!! READ IT!! I WILL KNOW IF YOU DO NOT! ONCE AGAIN READ IT!!

Okay, now the time you get to vote on some things. I don't have the mind capacity to think of much of these little tiny details so you'll have to help me. :D

Firstly: The Teacher

Who would you like the three's teacher to be?

-Hayate (I like him)

-Anko (fun to write with)

-Ibiki (SQUEEEE!)

-Kyuubi (totally writable)

-whoever else you all can think of ;p

Secondly: Pairing

I'm allowing all pairings under some restrictions:

-NO SAKURA (EWWWWW)

-no women/men older than them by 3 years (as in no Tsunade, Shizune, Anko etc.)

Yaoi is accepted happily but no Yuri please, thank you.

Thirdly: Their Name/Title

(You know, like how the 'demon brothers' and such have a name?)

-….The Devil Three?

-…uhm

Thank you for reading this, now please, review!
