Ronin Naruto
Sorry everyone for the long ass wait; but due to complications with beta, it took long time. Hopefully there will be no more long waits.
I don't own Naruto, Kishimoto does.

Now people, onward with chapter 3!
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Ahh, Konoha, the Village hidden in the leaves. Our young swordsman, soon to be greatest swordsman, just graduated out of the academy. He was placed in a genin team, which consists of 2 other genins and a Jonin sensei. His team mates were Sasuke Uchiha, resident holder of the Rookie of the Year title, and Sakura Haruno, holder of the smartest girl and kid in class title.
All three of them had just met their instructor after having to wait over an hour. They knew his name, and all they knew about him was that, one, he's a guy, and two; he's a pervert. They knew he was a pervert because he was reading an orange book known worldwide as Icha Icha Paradise. As they were too young to read it, well except Naruto who had read a few issues; they had no real knowledge of what was in it; however, the book was notorious and was obvious to even the dumbest of people that it held some very "adult" contents.
Their instructor had told them to meet him on the roof of the academy; when they reached the top, they saw him leisurely sitting down, contently reading his little "novel".
'Heh, this perverted scarecrow, can he really teach us anything? However, he's a Jonin so he must be strong. This could be a test to see how easily students could fall into underestimating their opponents. I will not fail!' Naruto thought.
'Sasuke, why won't you go out with me? Who is this guy, he looks really weak. Can he teach us anything?' Sakura said.
'I must kill that man (not instructor). What a pathetic sensei and team I have.' Sasuke thought.
All three newly instated genins sat down on the edges of the academy rooftop. They all stared quietly at their sensei. They kept staring at him for another 5 minutes as their sensei just kept turning the pages. He finally put in a bookmark; he'd decided to finish it later. He put his book away.
"All right, looks like you're my new team. How 'bout we start by getting to know each other a little more? I want you to tell me some things about yourself."
Sakura, being the good student that she is, raised her hand to ask a question. Her team's sensei nodded his head in acknowledgement.
"What kind of things about ourselves, sensei?"
"Hmm, how 'bout your likes, dislikes, and dreams for the future?"
Again, Sakura raised her hand, 'Damn, she asks too many questions' thought the man. "Sensei, why don't you begin by telling us about yourself? After all we just met and know nothing about you."
The man nodded, "Very well, my name is Hatake Kakashi. My likes are", he paused to giggle, "are well, I could tell you, however, you're all too young so no, or wait till you're like 18. My dislikes are… I'm too lazy to tell you. Oh and my "dreams for the future?", well it's none of your business."
All three genins sweat dropped, 'All we really learned is his name' Team 7 minus Kakashi thought.
"You… pinky," said Kakashi. 'Kami-sama, that's one hell of a giant forehead. It's practically reflecting the sunlight in my eyes.'
Sakura grew a temple at being called pinky, "My name is Sakura Haruno. My likes are," she stopped and stifled a glance at Sasuke, "My dreams for the future are," she stopped again to give a hinty glance at Sasuke and let out a little squeal. "I dislike INO-PIG and NARUTO!!!"
Naruto glanced at Sakura, 'What did I ever do to her?'
Kakashi groaned, 'Not another one. These fangirls are mostly more interested in boys than they are in training.'
Sasuke just scowled.
Kakashi then turned to Sasuke, "All right, Mr. dark and broody, your turn."
Sasuke scowled again, "My name is Sasuke from the Uchiha clan. I have many dislikes and I don't particularly like anything," Sakura looked sadly at the ground, "And it isn't a dream but an ambition. My ambition is to kill a certain man."
Naruto blinked repeatedly, 'Baka… In a way, a dream and an ambition are like almost the same thing.'
'Wow, Sasuke's like soooo cool,' thought Sakura.
Kakashi frowned under his mask, 'I have an avenger and based on his life he must mean him. However, he should realize that the road of an avenger isn't going to help him in the end.'
Kakashi finally went to the last member of his team. This guy was the mystery. He knew he came from the Uzumaki clan, which was supposedly extinct, well maybe except for that guy in Samurai Country apparently. Of course, he's not exactly sure if it's true and if it is, then they'll have some serious trouble on their hands. He was also the container of the Kyuubi no Yoko. He wondered why that boy carried such huge blades; they were way taller than him in height already. If he wanted to be a swordsman, this is the wrong country.
Naruto nodded his head, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki. My likes are ramen, training, and my katanas. My dislikes are the three minutes I have to wait for ramen to cool, people wasting my training time, and those who would try to damage my katanas. My dream for the future is to be the World's Greatest Swordsman. Of course I wanted to kill the killer of my old sensei but I learned that the road of an avenger is not a good one, so I have no wish for that. However, I will stop that man from causing more trouble for other innocent people."
Naruto thought, 'It might sound like the Uchiha but unlike him, I'm doing this because that man is a dog of those people. They will stop at nothing for their goals and if I am to uphold my sensei's honor, of course sensei never found out that I know about sensei's past with them but I will continue sensei's work.'
Kakashi pondered what Naruto had said, 'He's grown up in an interesting fashion. He changed his course from vengeance, maybe if Sasuke hangs around him, even if it is as a team, he may learn that revenge isn't the way.'
Sakura stared at Naruto, 'Hmm, him and Sasuke both have someone they wish to kill. What is it with my team anyway? We're like 12 and we want to go out killing others?'
Sasuke scoffed, 'Hmm, copying me, eh, dobe. Just what the hell is he implying by the road of an avenger is not a good one? What does he know?'
"Well, each of you is very interesting in their own rights, however, this doesn't mean I'll be your sensei after tomorrow."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, Sasuke narrowed his eyes, and Sakura raised her hand, to which Kakashi nodded.
"Sensei, what do you mean by you might not be our sensei after tomorrow?"
"Well tomorrow, in order to become full fledged genin, you'll need to pass a survival test."
Now, both Naruto and Sasuke narrowed their eyes to slits. Sakura raised her hand again, but didn't wait for Kakashi to acknowledge her.
"Kakashi-sensei, we have already taken the genin exams. Why are we taking another one?"
Kakashi laughed, "That silly thing? That was just a test to see who has the potential to be genin. The real survival exam is to be taken by the team against their sensei. Oh I should mention that the test has a 66 failure rate so don't even bother eating breakfast."
Sakura let out a gasp of shock, Sasuke's eyes, widened and Naruto… snored. The other members of Team 7 stared at him. Kakashi shrugged and went home; he had a night with Vaseline, a dirty book, some tissues, and of course, his hand.
Sasuke stood up and began walking downstairs.
"Wait Sasuke, would you mind going out on a date with me?" asked Sakura hopefully.
"No," and with that he left a dejected Sakura and a sleeping Naruto on the roof.
Sakura thought of waking Naruto but decided not to as she had stuff to do at home, and Naruto looked kind of cute when he was sleeping. She didn't mind the thoughts as Sasuke was still the only man for her even if others were good potentials also.
000000000000000000 Next Day 000000000000000000
Naruto was eating some bacon and eggs, waffles… yes waffles, they like so own pancakes in Naruto's opinion (my opinion also), milk mixed with orange juice, and muffins. Sure Kakashi had said don't eat breakfast; however, he had also stated he might not be their sensei after today which meant he was just a potential sensei. This meant he didn't have to give a rat's ass to what he said. He'd eat his waffles without shame. 'What is the point of taking an exam if you have no energy?' He quickly finished his food and fastened his katanas. He walked out the door and locked his house. He then headed for the training ground where the rest of Team 7 awaits.
Sasuke locked his door and headed for the training ground. He skipped out on breakfast as Kakashi said. He was quickly regretting it as he had a stack of pancakes waiting to be eaten. 'Pancakes so own waffles, anyone who thinks otherwise can kiss my ass (no "KISS MY WAFFLE-LOVING ASS SASUKE-TEME!!!"-me)' thought Sasuke.
Sakura's belly rumbled as she walked toward the training grounds. She had not only skipped out on breakfast but also ate very little at dinner all because of dinner. Screw pancakes and waffles, she wanted to eat some cereal, specifically, Skinny Girls. It was the hottest cereal for all girls wanting to be super skinny to the point of anorexia. It was publicly endorsed by Paris Slutton (cough Paris Hilton cough). She rubbed her tummy to soothe it.
When she reached the training grounds, she saw Naruto and Sasuke already there, and Sasuke was glaring at Naruto. Naruto was doing one-handed pushups as if they were nothing and by the way he was counting, he had already done 500. She just stared; she had never seen Sasuke do one-handed pushups. She just sat on under a nice tall shady tree that was close to Sasuke yet had a good view of Naruto. Naruto switched hands after reaching 700. He then did various warm ups for another 30 minutes, then sat down under a shady oak tree. Sasuke was sitting under a tall shady tree.
The three of them waited and waited for another 1 hour and 30 minutes. They were all irritated, and would make sure to make a certain silver-haired Jonin pay.
Kakashi smiled, he had just visited Obito and Arashi-sensei; however, he couldn't forget last night. Icha Icha Paradise: Naughty Schoolgirls from Singapore Vols. 1-5 was just so hot. He might just order Vols. 6-9 soon. Of course, the girls are 18 and above but just dressed in a high school uniform because… well, women in schoolgirl uniforms are sexy (OVER 18!!!). Hmm, this one was probably up there with Icha Icha Paradise Russian Galore Vols. 6-11.
He reached the training grounds and instantly felt glares and killer intent. 'Wow, it's been a day and they have learned killer intent. However…Naruto's is extremely malicious. I'd better stay clear of him.'
"All right, you brats listen up. The survival exam is to get these bells from me," Kakashi said as he held up two bells.
Sakura shouted, "Wait, there are only 2, we have 3 members in our team!"
"It's good to see you can count, Sakura. I guess it's true that you are the smartest," Kakashi said with a sarcastic drawl and then continued, "Only 2 of you may pass. Whoever doesn't get a bell at the end will have to pick up their ass and head back to the academy.
Now, each of you might want to find some good hiding spots while I prepare for the exam."
Sasuke and Sakura both leapt out of sight, leaving Naruto behind. He was currently pondering what Kakashi said. "Only 2 of you may pass. Whoever doesn't get the bell at the end will have to pick up their ass and head back to the academy." That is true however, just yesterday Kakashi also said, "The real survival exam is to be taken by the team against their sensei." Here was a serious confliction and it could only possibly mean one thing: teamwork.
Of course, being the type of person he is, he'd rather do this himself but he knew that he stood no chance against Kakashi even when he isn't even being serious. He'd have to get Sasuke and Sakura but he'd have to deal with Kakashi, who in his thinking process, had snuck up on him.
"Seems like it'll be you who gets sent back to the academy, seeing as you have no sense of stealth."
Naruto quickly got into an offensive position. He had to find the others or else they'd all fail. He unsheathed his katanas and put one in his mouth and the other 2 in his hands. He pointed the katana in his right hand at Kakashi.
Kakashi put his hands under his chin as if thinking of something, then nodded and put his hands in his pocket. Naruto tensed, he didn't know what Kakashi had in those pockets. And to nobody's surprise, Kakashi pulled out an Icha Icha Paradise novel.
Naruto sweat dropped. Then he became very pissed because his sensei was underestimating him. He was going to read a book while fighting him. 'Hmm, what volume is it? Sensei never let me look at it before.'
Sasuke thought, 'Dobe, Kakashi can even read a book while fighting him.'
Sakura thought, 'Sasuke's like, oh my god, the smexiest guy like ever. Hmm, that isn't how Paris Slutton says it. I must practice more.'
Kakashi giggled, "IIP: Ghetto Chocolate Factory Vol. 4 is sooo hot. These beautiful ebonies are nosebleed rocket worthy."
Naruto had had enough. He went into a loose stance and charged. He jumped and swung the r. katana (katana in right hand) at Kakashi's head who easily ducked, and tried to kick him in the stomach. Meanwhile unbeknownst to Naruto, his clone was fighting another clone. Kakashi shadow clone vs. Naruto shadow clone. The reason Kakashi wasn't fighting was because 1) Naruto was too tough an opponent to fight while reading a book, 2) He really wanted to read this book, 3) chocolate sistas is a catchy phrase, and 4) he was interested in how Naruto planned on beating him.
Naruto ran straight for Sasuke. He didn't bother to look for Sakura because wherever Sasuke was, Sakura was bound to be near, at least in a range of 1 meter to 3 meters. He quickly located Sasuke, hiding inside a tree, and just as he predicted, Sakura, based on what he saw was about 1.4 meters to the left and 0.2 meters below in another nearby tree. He jumped up to where Sakura was hiding and grabbed her by her feet. Then he jumped to where Sasuke was and grabbed him too. He then ran while dragging the two of them by their feet.
Sasuke growled, "Naruto, what the fuck are you doing?"
"Naruto! You're getting me all dirty, and I won't look good at all!" Sakura screeched, then gasped then turned angry. Why? Her clothes, especially that nice little short shorts she wore was getting shredded and you could easily see a pink lacy thong-ish panty, (isn't she a little too young for that . ? Eww, 12 year olds. Hmm, she sure does like pink a lot.) "Naruto, you disgusting pervert! You're trying to see my delicious cherry aren't you? You sick man!" (Ahh yes, see what a great influence Paris Slutton is kids? Don't forget her little pussy buddies, Brittany I date Bums by the Name of K. Fed and Lindsay I'm a wannabe and I like to steal other women's boyfriends.)
Naruto shivered, so did Kakashi (because he's like 30 and no pedophile like Orochimaru) and Sasuke (because Sakura creeps the fuck out of him) because he had absolutely no interest in Sakura. Especially if she wanted to act like The Power Slut Girls (Paris, Brittany, and Lindsay, making the world a much more sluttish place; hey I'm not complaining, as I'm a guy and a perv. Oh and I apologize to their fans, don't flame me!)
"Shut up Sakura. I need to tell the two of you something." Naruto stopped when he reached an open area that was covered by dense trees. Then went and hid in the less dense area because it'd be much too predictable for a genin to hide in a dense area. He let go of both of their feet.
"All right listen up. There's no way in hell that any of us can beat Kakashi by ourselves. Also I've concluded on what I observed that the whole point of this test is teamwork. I hope both of you ate breakfast like I did, because we'll need all the energy we can get."
"No." said Sasuke.
"Huh, no to what, the breakfast?" Naruto asked.
"You and Sakura would only be a burden. I can handle this myself and I didn't eat breakfast."
"Doesn't matter, there's plenty of berries and other things that we can eat while we make a plan," Naruto replied.
Sasuke spoke arrogantly, "Were you listening? I said I don't need your help. Both of you are weak."
Naruto scoffed, "Why the hell should I listen to you. Also that arrogance of yours will make you fail. He's a Jonin and we're not going to get any bells at all."
"Eh, believe what you want, however, I know I'll get that bell." With that, Sasuke was about to leave when Naruto grabbed his shoulder and turned him around.
"Look, I know we have our differences, and I despise your guts more than anyone else's, I think you're a jackass, and I would rather do this myself, except I know we can't get that bell."
Sasuke glared at Naruto.
"Naruto, I'm sorry but I think Sasuke's right. We can get the bells whereas you'll only be a burden."
'What the hell, you're one to talk.'
Sasuke pushed Naruto's hand off his shoulder and leapt away. Sakura gave Naruto a sad look and leapt after Sasuke.
'Jackass, I knew Sasuke would be too stubborn and arrogant and Sakura would be his little bitch and follow him with everything.'
With that, Naruto left to find Kakashi, who happened to be a few feet away but within eavesdropping distance.
"Aw! Too bad for you Naruto, at least you tried. Hmm, hehehe… Shaniqua sure is hot," said Kakashi.
Kakashi quickly dodged as Sasuke came out of seemingly no where and tried to punch him. He continued to giggle as he read his smut while the Uchiha constantly tried to attack him.
"Hmm, oohh, now that's hotness," said a drooling Kakashi. Sasuke started to make hand seals, "KATON: GOUKAKYU NO JUTSU! (FIRE STYLE: GRAND FIREBALL TECHNIQUE!)"
The fireball launched out of Sasuke's mouth, effectively incinerating the exact spot Kakashi was standing. Sasuke smirked, but it quickly went back to a frown when he noticed his targeted area had no signs of Kakashi.
"DOTON: TSUCHI SHINJU ZANSHU NO JUTSU!!! (EARTH STYLE: EARTH INNER DECAPITATION JUTSU!!!)"
Out of nowhere, a hand shot up from underground, grabbed the Uchiha by the leg, and pulled most of his body underground save for the neck up.
"Keep trying, Sasuke," said Kakashi.
----------------------------With Naruto----------------------
Naruto knew that Kakashi was eavesdropping, but pretended that he didn't notice and would wait for him to make his move. He saw smoke in the air, and knew it was Sasuke using that fireball jutsu of his, it wouldn't be the first time he had used it. He tried to go back, but got lost.
------------------------------Sakura---------------------------
Sakura was running through the forest. She had seen the fireball jutsu and realized that must be Sasuke. As soon as she reached Sasuke, her eyes widened in grief, Sasuke… her Sasuke was covered from head-to-toe with kunai and shuriken and was bleeding horribly. He raised his hand as if calling for help, then collapsed, dead on the ground (heh I wish).
"NOOOOOOOO!!!" screamed Sakura, and then fainted. Sasuke just sweat dropped at the scene.
-------------------------------Naruto--------------------------
Naruto had heard Sakura's scream, how couldn't he when that girl screamed like a banshee? He was running toward the source of it when he realized that he had ended up, somehow, in the Konoha market district.
'How the hell did I end up here?' thought Naruto.
Sasuke growled as he couldn't get out of the damn hole. It had been almost an hour already. He would've asked Sakura but she was still unconscious. Kakashi was no where to be found, but no doubt reading that dirty book of his.
"OIY! Sasuke-teme, I finally found you guys," called out another person's voice, obviously it belonged to Naruto.
Sasuke decided not to say anything. After about 5 minutes, Naruto had gotten Sasuke out of the hole.
'Eh, Sasuke-teme what do you say we team up and get those bells from Kakashi? If we do that, not only do we both pass but Sakura gets sent back to the academy."
Sasuke thought it over, Naruto could be very deceptive if he wanted to. Sure he didn't want Sakura in his team, which he felt, should only consist of Kakashi and himself.
"No, you'll only get in my way, dobe," and with that, Sasuke went off after Kakashi.
"Heh, what a fool." Naruto went over to Sakura and brought a shadow clone he had created earlier. Just as instructed, the clone had a bucket of water with him. Naruto snapped his fingers, and the clone dumped all the water over Sakura, who promptly woke up.
"SASUKE-KUN, NOOOOOO!!!!"
"Eh, Sasuke left a while ago."
"Oh. HEY!!! Naruto, you sick pervert. You got my clothes all wet so that they'd be all sticky and you can see my assets. Get some help, Naruto!!!"
"Eh, what the hell are you talking about? I only poured water on you to wake you up," Naruto added, "Besides, you have nothing to look at."
Naruto now had a pack of huge lumps on his head courtesy of one Sakura Haruno.
"Look, Sakura I need your help. If we team up then I know we can get those bells from Kakashi."
"I'm sorry Naruto but Sasuke's better than you. I need to go find him."
'Damn it, is my team full of idiots?'
"Look Sakura, I really don't care about being a ninja for this village or not but I don't like to fail at anything. Please just help me out for once, if you do and we get those bells then I'll give my bell to Sasuke. Then you can remain with Sasuke while I'll head back to the academy."
Sakura looked at Naruto with guilt. Despite his efforts, he was clearly saddened that after working so hard that he would have to go back to the academy. But Sasuke was more important, right? She nodded her head that she'd help and together they began making the strategy.
Kakashi sighed, 'When will this boy learn? Fighting me one-on-one isn't going to work.'
He saw Sasuke jumped up again and was aiming a punch at his head. His eyes narrowed when he saw a slight flash, and put his book away. Naruto appeared right next to Sasuke and kicked him out of the way, unsheathed his katanas and swung the r. katana at Kakashi, who easily dodged it. However, Naruto wasn't letting him set up a proper defense and continued to push him back.
Of course, he was only getting pushed back since he was holding back, however, not many genin can push him back even when not being serious. His eyes widened as he had stepped on a tiny thread line, and a giant log was coming at him. Just as he was about to duck, he saw Naruto try to attack him with the l. katana. He made hand seals and used replacement with a conveniently chopped up log near a tree that was at the bottom of an oak tree.
Kakashi smiled, but then turned to shock as the replacement had set up a trap and many wires were about to latch onto him. He quickly made hand seals and shot a fireball jutsu since he saw Naruto and Sasuke charging at him. They both moved out of the way of the fireball. This gave Kakashi just barely enough time to get out of the trap. He was about to get some more distance when he felt arms around him. He quickly looked behind his back.
Sakura had his hands in a lock and was holding him tightly. Both Naruto and Sasuke were going for him. If he had been a lesser ninja, this would have been a checkmate, however, he was a Jonin, he could easily escape but he was too lazy. He realized that they'd both just try to get the bells.
His eyes widened as Sasuke jumped and made seals for the Ryuka no Jutsu. He couldn't believe this, not that Sasuke could do the jutsu, but because he was aiming directly at him, which by default was a semi-direct aim for Sakura. If Sasuke fired that jutsu, then Sakura, at her level could be severely injured.
'What the fuck is Sasuke doing?' thought Naruto. He got in front of the jutsu and used Repulse to send them in different directions away from Kakashi and Sakura. He saw Kakashi get Sakura off him, she used replacement before he could kick her away, and dodged to get out of Naruto's technique. He saw Sasuke about to attack and back-handed him away, and jumped to avoid a sweep slash (like a sweep kick except with a katana) from Naruto.
'In a way, they are working together.' He then got out of the way as Sakura threw shuriken and kunai from behind him. Naruto swung the m. katana at his side, which he deflected with one of the kunai Sakura had thrown. He was getting pushed back too much. He then saw Sakura use replacement to get close to him then threw a Kunai. Even though he was stuck, he quickly grabbed it with his left hand and jammed it up Sasuke's ass, "Ninpou: (Ninja Art: Super Secret Konoha Taijutsu Technique: 1,000 years of death." Sasuke flew while clutching his ass and fell into the lake 2 miles away.
'Eww, that went up my Sasuke's ass! What kind of disgusting technique is a Super Ass Poke?'
'Heh, why do I get the feeling that Sasuke liked that?' thought both Naruto and Kakashi.
Naruto jumped, Kakashi pointed his kunai at him, 'Only a retard would just jump straight into a kunai like this, he'll either use replacement or create a shadow clone to…'
Kakashi was interrupted as Naruto took the kunai straight into his chest, and latched onto Kakashi with all 3 katanas placed in a 60o degree angle. Sakura, Kakashi and Sasuke (who had gotten out of the lake) gasped. Naruto, however, was all smiles.
"I've finally caught you, Kakashi," Naruto stated, "SANTORYU: LIAN HUAN MO QIANG…!!! (3 SWORD STYLE: DEMON PISTOL REVOLVER!!!)"
The attack shot out and struck Kakashi straight on. The very force of the technique sent Kakashi flying back, however, Naruto cut the bells loose before he went too far. Sakura quickly let go before she could have went along with the ride. She caught one of the bells, and the other one landed a few meters away. Naruto lay on the ground and began to crawl toward the bell. He had to get the bell, even though his agreement was to let Sasuke get the bell, he'd die before he let Sasuke win over him.
He almost got it when Sasuke picked it up and gave him a condescending smirk. Before all three of them knew it, Kakashi knocked them all out.
18 years later
"Papa!" cried Izumo Uchiha. Yes, son of Sasuke Uchiha and Mrs. Sakura Uchiha. "Guess what I learned papa, KATON: GOUKAKYU NO JUTSU!!! (FIRE STYLE: GRAND FIREBALL JUTSU!!!)
On the ground lay a 1st degree burned Sasuke. Sakura dropped her pot and bent down to help him.
"Anata, do you need healing?" Sasuke gave a curt answer to show yes as it was all he could manage.
5 minutes later, at dinner.
"Sorry about that papa, but I really wanted to show you how good I have become."
Sasuke chuckled behind his bandages while taking a sip of some Konoha beer, "Eh, no worries Izumo. You are my son and a true Uchiha."
Sakura smiled at the scene.
"You know papa, Nara-chan already has a little sibling. I want to be a big brother too."
Sakura dropped the pot she had in her hand and Sasuke spat out his drink, "Eh son, err well, you see…" Both Sasuke and Sakura tried to say something without having to explain the birds and the bees.
Sakura coughed, "Ugh well, since you want one so bad, why don't you and papa, go for a walk while I get ready for papa in the bedroom (might I add seductively)"
Izumo looked confused, "Eh, what does a bedroom have to do with me getting a little brother or sister, won't you go to Mr. Stork and get one ( . aren't children gullible)?
This happy little fantasy scene was destroyed as Sakura woke up. Alongside her was Sasuke who was fidgeting, a sure sign that he was waking up as well. They were both tied to poles, while Naruto was sitting cross legged on the ground, clearly awake. All three of his katanas were sheathed. Sakura was confused, she and Sasuke had gotten the bells, and so shouldn't Naruto be the one tied to the pole?
Kakashi was reading his book… again. When he noticed that Sakura and Sasuke were already up, he closed it, and put it away.
"Ah, Sasuke… Sakura… you're awake. Good, good, so I hope you all had a nice short nap?"
"Quit the crap Kakashi, what's going on here?" yelled Naruto.
Kakashi turned to Naruto, "Those two over there failed, while you passed. Looks like you might be an apprentice of mine or something."
All three genin's eyes widened.
"WHAT? Why is the dobe getting to be your apprentice?" yelled an agitated Sasuke.
"Because he was the only one who realized the true meaning of this exam: teamwork. You two, on the other hand, didn't. Naruto asked both of you to work together as a team. Then he asked you both individually. Sasuke, you were too arrogant and felt that Naruto would be a burden and that you could do it yourself. Sakura, you felt the same, but only because Sasuke said this, without your own observations. In fact, I know from this that Naruto is definitely stronger than Sasuke," Sasuke growled at this, but Kakashi went on, "Naruto was even reduced to bribing you with allowing Sasuke to get the bell if you worked together and got the bells."
Sakura looked guiltily down at the ground, Sasuke's eyes widened in shock, and Kakashi began to walk away.
"Kakashi wait, give them another chance," said Naruto. Kakashi turned around and looked at Naruto with puzzlement.
"Why?"
"Because my sensei once told me something, "Those who abandon their mission are trash but those who abandon their nakama are…" Naruto eyes darkened, "Worse than trash."
Sasuke and Sakura stared at Naruto, and Kakashi smiled under his mask then frowned, "However, they aren't your nakama, they wanted to abandon you for themselves."
"Doesn't matter, I don't care about either of them, Sasuke's an arrogant little bitch, and Sakura is Sasuke's lapdog. We are all ninja (technically) of the Leaf, therefore we are all comrades. So in a way, we are all nakama."
Kakashi sweat dropped, Naruto had in a way contradicted himself with that statement.
"Hmm, fine I shall give you all one more chance. You get to try the exam again after I go to the hospital and get these wounds treated. Naruto you may eat lunch. However, the other two get to eat nothing. If you dare to give them anything, all 3 of you will be disqualified. Do I make myself clear?"
Naruto nodded his head in understanding. With that, Kakashi puffed away. Naruto began eating his lunch out of the 3 bento boxes Kakashi had left behind. As soon as he felt Kakashi's presence a good distance away, he turned around.
"All right, Kakashi seems to be heading toward the hospital. So you two need your strength, so here, eat up."
"Eh, dobe, weren't you listening? You'll get us all disqualified."
For once, Sakura didn't rush to take Sasuke's side. Sure she liked him and that fantasy world she had whenever she went to sleep was nice but she also remembered that Sasuke had tried to make a barbeque out of Kakashi and her. He had also been trying to do it without conviction, and that scared her. So she kept her mouth shut, but her stomach, which seemed to perk up as Naruto mentioned food, talked plenty.
"Naruto, you don't need to fail because of us. You eat and we'll take the test together as a team this time," said Sakura.
"Won't work, it'll be the same result. If you two are both tired from lack of food, you won't be at your best and your best is what I need you at."
"No, dobe, I don't need to…"
Naruto glared at Sasuke, "SHUT THE FUCK UP and EAT!!!"
Sasuke eyes widened in shock but turned into a glare quickly, Sakura stayed silent and didn't bother trying to rush to her beloved Sasuke's side. Naruto stood up and gave Sakura the food as he couldn't untie them and then re-tie since it would be too suspicious for the experienced Kakashi. He then made a shadow clone and henged it into Sakura. He did this to mock Sasuke, he sure as hell wasn't going to feed Sasuke, and in a way to thank Sakura for the whole teamwork thing.
As soon as they were both done, he packed everything up, sat back down, and pretended to act as usual. He was quite surprised when the clouds turned really dark, and lightning began striking. A fierce wind picked up and the whole area shook as if someone had incurred the wrath of God. There, in the middle of it all was Kakashi with fury on his face and a mad gleam in his eye.
He was just a few inches away from them, Sakura and Sasuke were both frightened out of their wits, and Naruto was… snoring. Kakashi gave a karate chop to Naruto's head, resulting in a growing huge bump.
"Naruto, how dare you disobey my direct orders? I specifically told you not to give food to Sasuke and Sakura, and yet you still do it. Care to tell me why?"
"Simple, we're all nakama. If we're going to fight you, everyone has to be at full strength. Also, you're not my sensei so I don't have to listen to you."
Kakashi turned his single eye toward Sakura, daring her to speak but inner Sakura was pushing. Her fear turned into determination, and she looked Kakashi straight in the eye.
"NARUTO'S RIGHT!!! WE'RE ALL COMRADES OF THE LEAF! IT'D DO US NO GOOD IF ONE OR TWO OF US WERE A BURDEN!!!"
Kakashi turned to Sasuke, who, remarkably, was still shaking with fear. Sasuke could barely look at the man.
'This is all Naruto's fault. I told him not to feed us, and now it's over for us. Wait, what am I saying, both Naruto and Sakura are standing up to this guy even though he's a Jonin. Not only that but what would he say if he saw me like this? No, I can't back down not until…'
With newfound conviction, Sasuke regained his cool arrogant mien, "The dobe and the fangirl are right. I for one won't back down and give up until I KILL THAT MAN!!!"
Kakashi's figure seemed to get bigger and bigger. His anger rising, he looked like he was ready to kill them, yet all three genin stared coolly back at him, ready for anything.
"YOU THREE ALL…" Kakashi's glare suddenly turned into a smile and the world turned into happy happy sunshine again, "PASS!!!"

Description: Same as Demon Pistol but with a lot more chakra, force, strength, and speed thrown into the mix. Part two of the Demon Pistol Attack Series.
Just to clear things up, many people refer to Naruto's narcolepsy to Zoro. That's actually wrong. Zoro does go to sleep and sleep through anything but not at totally random times. The whole thing actually comes from Portgas D. Ace (Luffy's older brother). If you don't know these people, then you should start reading or watching One Piece (JAPANESE SUBBED OR SCANNED INTO ENGLISH, SCREW THEIR ONE CRAP ENGLISH VERSIONS!!!)
3rd note: I'm wondering, during the 2nd Arc of Ronin Naruto, preferably after chap 13, I'm thinking of introducing Devil Fruits. Devil Fruits in One Piece are mysterious fruits that give the user who eats them as power. They are divided into three categories: Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia. Of course you might realize that with the name Devil Fruit there's a catch; whoever eats a Devil Fruit can never be able to swim again, you might not understand the significance but if you want to then read or watch One Piece.
Paramecia affect the body like Luffy ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi (Rubber Rubber Fruit) and became a rubber man. Zoan turn the eater into an animal, animal into human, or animal into other animals. Tony Tony Chopper, for example, was born a reindeer ate the Hito Hito no Mi (Human Human Fruit). The Zoan have 3 forms, Full Human, Full Animal, or Hybrid (half human-half animal), of course it depends on who or what ate a Zoan fruit. Like Gan Fall's horse ate a Bird model Zoan fruit, so it is Full Horse, Full Bird, or Hybrid like a Pegasus. The final one is Logia. Logia are the most powerful category of Devil Fruit gives the eater and element, and they can turn their body into that element. For example, Portgas D. Ace ate the Mera Mera no Mi (Fire Fire Fruit) and can turn his body into Fire.
I plan to give some future enemies some Devil Fruits as it will make everything more challenging, exciting, and much more…interesting. Like maybe Naruto has to fight a guy who ate a Zoan like let's say the Tiger Tiger Fruit or a Gorilla Gorilla Fruit. Wouldn't that seem interesting? Now I have no plans on giving Naruto a Devil Fruit and we won't want or need one. Maybe a friend might have it but not him. However, I don't want to do this unless you guys approve, so if you review, PLEASE REVIEW, put some commentary on the subject.
4th note: Ok, final thing, just want to tell you all that this story is going to get only more action packed, of course, there will be mild moments and all but it will be good. Warning: from now on the story will start living up to its rating. There will be some very gory parts included, death, yadda yadda, pretty much anything you might expect from a rated M story. You just have to see what I have planned for the Wave, Chunin, Orochimaru in Forest of Death, and Valley of the End sections. It's making me giddy to think of all that will happen. It's only in my head right now so I'll have to transmit it onto these chapters for your entertainment. So please continue reading!!!
Thanks to all. BYE!!!
