CHAPTER 4: Kakashi sensei
"... Team seven, Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha."
"Why do i have to be stuck with this bastard!?"
"Naruto, the teams are paired by grades in the academy. Sasuke is the lead, Naruto, your the dead last!"
Naruto pouted staring at Iruka Sensei.
"You're all free until three fifth-teen."
Naruto got up and walked out, hands in his pockets, staring at the ground. Naruto went home, made himself some ramen and ate is vigorously. When he got up and thew his cup in the trash before he lay on the bed, the something catching his eye. His birthday was tomorrow. The note Old man Hokage wrote was pinned to the calendar. Ugh i want to open it so badly. Naruto frowned and dozed off, after setting his alarm for three o'clock.
Beep... Beep...Beep...
"Wake up kid!"
"Shut up kyuubi!"
Naruto got up, fixed his hair the best he could, since it was always messy, and left to meet his team and Sensei. Naruto arrived seeing that Sasuke and Sakura were already there.
"He's not here yet?"
"Nope, dobe."
"Shut up Sasuke!"
"Yeah yeah."
"Will you two stop bickering for once in your life?" Yelled Sakura, pulling her hair.
"Sorry Sakura..." Their mouths moving in unison.
"Yeesh if Sensei is gonna be this late, might as well put a prank up for a punishment," Naruto said grabbing a chalkboard eraser and a chair. He got on the chair and opened the door a little, put the eraser in and closed the door so the eraser would stay.
"Dobe, no ninja would fall for tha..." A jonin walked in, eraser landing on his head, dusting his hair in chalk.
"A prank for a first impression eh? I hate you already," said the silver haired jonin.
"What!?" team seven yelling all at once.
"mn... Well might as well get this over with, tell me about yourselves," said the jonin.
"Why not you first? You're the sensei," Naruto said, cocking his head to the side.
"*sigh*alright, I'm Kakashi Hatake, and i don't feel like telling you anything else other then that i'm going to be your sensei, that is if you pass my test."
Kakashi? Minato's student? "If you ever meet my student, please tell him i'm alive..."
"Uh Kakashi sensei?"
"Mn?"
"Uh... I would like to inform you that your sensei is alive and well."
Kakashi raised his one visible eyebrow, his eyes full of anger.
"How dare you... How dare you insult my sensei... What do you know about him hmm? I hate you most of all," Kakashi said pointing his finger at Naruto. Naruto held his hands up.
"I didn't mean to offend you... You're sensei just told me to..."
"Shut... Up..."
"Nice going dobe, you pissed of the sensei even more."
Naruto glared at Sasuke.
"Will all of you stop bickering already? i'm done with this!" screamed Sakura. Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke covered their ears.
"Mn... Well, lets continue... You're last, liar."
"I'm Uchiha Sasuke, sole survivor of the Uchiha. I don't have many likes, and lots of dislikes, hobby, training to become stronger... To kill one man."
There was silence.
"I'm Haruno Sakura, i like sweets and... who i like... I mean what i like... EEEK!" Sakura said glaring at Sasuke.
"Dislikes hobby?"
"Reading and... I don't like HIM!" Sakura pointed at Naruto, and turned her head away and frowned with her eyes closed.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, i like ramen, dislike Sasuke and the three minutes it takes to cook instant ramen, love training and someday i'll be the Hokage!"
"Hmm may i add lying to that list?" Kakashi said to Naruto.
"It wasn't a lie!"
"Mhmm. Meet back at the bridge to the training grounds tomorrow at 6 am. Oh and don't eat breakfast, you'll vomit."
Naruto,Sasuke, and Sakura just stared, wide eyed.
Naruto sighed. Sorry Minato... Not this year...
Minato
The next day, Minato walked his the gates, henged once again hiding his identity, each one testing the best way to get in and out of the Leaf Village. The guards nodded in approve, Minato henged as a 25 year old brown haired carpenter. He walked to his sons house and knocked, No response again. Minato walked in, after realizing the door wasn't locked, and looked around. Naruto wasn't home. Minato looked in the Kitchen table and saw a note.
Dear M,
Not home, mission with Kakashi sensei..
Kakashi is my son's sensei? Minato smiles
See you next year... read the letter on the table.
Next year? that won't do... Minato sighed and looked at the letter
TO: Minato
FROM: Sarutobi
OPEN AT: 1:35 pm
Minato looked wearily at the letter and opened it.
"I saw you," it read. "You need to tell your son the truth, what happened that night, i know you're alive but i won't say anything not yet.
goodbye old friend,
Sarutobi."
Minato eyes widened and sighed. Now to find Naruto. If his son's sensei was Kakashi, then he might as well just teleport, and so he did. Finding himself in the bushes on the ground next to his son looking at his student, then at him. Minato smiled.
"Hi Minato, uh now's not the best time. I have to get that bell so i won't be sent back to the academy."
"The bell test huh?" Minato laughed. "You don't need to get a bell, you just have to see through Kakashi's trick. The answer is teamwork.
"Really?"
"Yep. i'll disappear for a minute so you can tell your friends. Pour your Chakra into the seal on my Kunai to let me know you're done, OK?"
Naruto
"Alright," said Naruto smiling. And with that Minato disappeared.
Naruto looked for Sasuke for a little while, then finally found him.
"Hey Sasuke. I know the answer."
"Yea right Dobe."
"No really i do, its teamwork."
Sasuke started laughing. "Do you really think i'm gonna listen to you dobe? You're even stupider then i thought!" Sasuke immediately drew a kunai.
"Sasuke, what the heck?" Naruto backed up a few steps before drawing the one Minato gave him. It was his favorite Kunai to use.
"You're not Naruto." Sasuke ran towards Naruto, Kunai extended towards him. "You're Kakashi!"
Naruto was dumbfounded. Sasuke thought he was Kakashi? "Teme, I'm not Kakashi-sensei!"
Sasuke threw a few shuriken at Naruto and continued to charge. In the meantime, Naruto created a few Kage bushin to block the shuriken as he ran into the trees to come around behind. "Not so fast, dobe,'' Sasuke mused as he spun around, meeting Naruto's pronged Kunai to his. Both Sasuke and Naruto jumped backwards before kidding to a halt.
"Sasuke, what the hell!" Sasuke charged at Naruto again, kunai meeting Naruto's pronged kunai. Sparks flying from the two metal Kunai scraping against each other.
Sasuke swung his leg up towards Naruto's head, using his hand for support. Naruto bent backwards out of the way before kicking Sasuke's hand, making him loose balance. "Ugh." Sasuke stood up, dusting himself off, looking at Naruto. "Prove it dobe."
"Prove what?" Naruto dodged another kunai that Sasuke aimed at him.
"That you're not Kakashi."
"Yeah, you wont believe me unless i do what you tell me. So what do you want me to do, Sasuke-teme?"
Sasuke bit his lip thinking. "Shadow clone justu... no Kakashi can probably do that..." Sasuke paused in thought before looking at Naruto. "The henge justu you created."
Naruto burst out laughing, rolling on the grass. "You're gonna*giggles*get it Sasuke-*more giggle fits*Teme!" Naruto stood up, then fell back to the round in more fits of giggles and laughter. Finally he managed to stop and get up. Making a cross signed seal, Naruto shouted "Kage bushin no justu!" Ten clones appeared.
"H-hey i thought i said the other justu!"
"Oh you did now, Sasuke-teme?" Naruto and his clones created another cross seal. "Henge!" One by one, all the Naruto's were covered in a cloud of white smoke. When it blew away, it revealed eleven naked women, whisker marks on each cheeks, and long blonde hair in pigtails. Sasuke blushed furiously as he turned his face away from Naruto and his clones.
A second later the Narukos lunged at Sasuke, latching their arms around him. "G-get off me!"
"Sasuke...-kun..." The women said in a squeaky feminine voice.
Sasuke punched each of the women, causing them to disperse.
Naruto was on the ground, looking at Sasuke. "Oi, it's not nice to hit girls, Sasuke-teme."
Sasuke smirked. "You're not a girl. Unless you're faking that you're a guy, Naruto."
Naruto rolled his eyes before sitting up. "So you believe me now?"
Sasuke sighed. He didn't believe Naruto in the slightest, but he thought he might as well use it to lure out Kakashi. "Teamwork eh?"
"Yeah, now lets go find Sakura."
"Fine, Dobe."
There was a sudden scream. Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other and ran to find Sakura on the ground staring at a tree.
"Sasuke! Don't die!"
"Genjustu... I'm guessing," said the Uchiha.
"Probably."
"Release!"
Sakura looked up to see Naruto and Sasuke.
"You OK?" asked Naruto.
"Yea."
"The answer to this is teamwork," said Sasuke, glaring at Naruto. " I can only guess how Dead last here figured it out."
"Teamwork? Interesting. Good job on figuring out, Sasuke-kun!"
Naruto gaped. "Eh?!"
"Come out, Kakashi!" Yelled Sasuke.
Just as soon as Sasuke summoned him, Kakashi was in front of team seven.
"The answer is teamwork," the three said in unison.
"Is that your final answer?"
"Hai!"
"You one hundred. Percent. Sure? If you fail you go back to the academy. Remember that."
"Hai, Kakashi-sensei."
Kakashi eye-smiled before nodded. "Go eat lunch."
"Yes Kakashi Sensei!" they said running off the the monument. Naruto sat down and pulled out Minato's Kunai, which Sakura instantly recognized.
"That's... That's..."
"Whats that Naruto," Kakashi said walking up, eyes widening as he got a closer look at the Kunai. "Where... Where did you get that?"
"It was a gift from a friend, your sensei."
"Liar, that's min..." Kakashi never finished because once he pulled out his own that Minato had given him.
How is this possible? Thought Kakashi.
"I told you," said Naruto, wrapping his chakra covered hands over the seal on the Kunai. Instantly Minato appeared, all eyes went on him.
Kakashi
"Minato Sensei?! You're supposed to be dead!"
"Indeed. I am supposedly dead, but as you see, i'm not, Kakashi."
"You're..." Sakura fainted.
"Whats with her?" Sasuke glaring.
"Kakashi, may i speak with you?"
"Sure sensei." The two walked towards the tree in the middle of the training field.
"You must not tell my son who i am."
"Your son?"
"Naruto." Kakashi's eyes widened.
"I'm such a fool..." Minato laughed.
Naruto
The two men were walking back, Minato pulling out a few scrolls and a small box.
"Happy birthday, Naruto," said Minato, handing Naruto more scrolls and the box. "You now have my permission to use these justu in front of your new friends here, but only them, understand?"
"Hai," said Minato tearing away the paper on the box.
" Don't open that until you get home, Naruto."
"Hai." It must be something sweet if he doesn't want Sensei, Sakura, and Sasuke to see it.
" Minato sensei, did you get them the answer?" asked the ever curious Kakashi and he tilted his head.
"No..."
"Liar."
"Perhaps but they still believed it and worked together."
"True..."
"Well i must go, i have bushiness to attend to," and with that Minato disappeared.
Why does he always do that... well, see you next year Minato, though Naruto as he walked home, ready to face another day.
