Chapter 3
When Naruto and I arrived at the Academy, Sasuke has yet to arrive, so we started to set up a trap for our beloved Sensei. The day before, Naruto and I went to do some shopping especially for this day, we bought some thin white, almost transparent, string, paint ball bullets and some big elastic band. A few minutes in, Sasuke arrived; he raised his eyebrows as he watched us set things up as he went to sit down. Like last time, Naruto put the board rubber up in between the door and I put the string at the bottom of the door so when you slide it open, it pulls the string along as well and connected the string to a piece of wood, which had an elastic band on, and there was a box full with paint ball bullets in.
"Our Sensei is going to be a Jonin, he won't fall for that." Sasuke commented in a monotonous voice, looking as expressionless as ever.
Naruto looked at me. I looked back. We smirked, sat down and waited for Kakashi-Sensei to appear through the door.
Waiting for at least twenty more minutes, the door slid opened. Everything happened so fast that only the trained eye could see.
The board rubber dropped on Kakashi's head, while distracted he did not see the paint ball pellets coming straight at him aiming at his abdomen. It hit him and he jerked back in shock at the sudden pain. The pellets exploded on him as he fell back onto the hard ground; when he stood up, he was multi-coloured, he had all different kinds of coloured paint at the front of his shirt, his mask was tousled and his hair was even wilder and white with chalk.
Can't control ourselves, both Naruto and I busted out laughing, Naruto fell on the floor, crying and holding his stomach, while I stayed sitting, I was hunched and banging my fist on the desk, tears of joy running down my cheeks, howling with laughter. Sasuke looked shocked while Sensei did not looked amused. His dignity would be ripped apart if any of the other ninjas heard about this.
"Are you two done laughing yet?" Sensei asked, his eye twitching.
"S-sorry that was just too funny!" I managed to say, as Naruto and I sat up, wiping our tears away, breathing heavily from laughing.
"Hm, meet me near the Hokage Tower." Kakashi said monotonously.
He turned around to leave; I quickly whipped out my camera and called out to him.
"Sensei!"
He turned but all he saw was a quick flash of light. Temporarily blinded, I held out the camera to Naruto as we both giggled hysterically at the photo of our Sensei. He had a small pout on his face, making him look like a little child, his hair and clothing didn't help either.
This photo would be useful for blackmail. . .
HELL YEAH! *Insert Inner Sakura doing a victory dance*
While still giggling, something or someone loomed over the two of us, emitting a dark aura. We both froze; we slowly looked up to see Kakashi-Sensei hovering over us, creating a shadow, his one eye glinting evilly.
"You brats." He hissed.
Knowing that we were in danger of experiencing the Chidori through our body, Naruto and I hightailed out of the room, leaving a trail of dust behind with Kakashi right on our heals. We left Sasuke standing there, although we didn't really care at the time seeing as we were quite busy trying to save our precious lives from our seething Sensei.
After Kakashi-Sensei managed to calm down and finding Sasuke (who was sulking and walking in the streets, hand in pockets) we found somewhere to sit to introduce ourselves.
"Okay my little minions, why don't we introduce ourselves; tell me about what you like, hate, your dreams, and hobbies, you get the idea." Kakashi told us, his eye crinkling as he smiled (a bit too sweetly, mind you).
" Hey hey!Why don't you introduce yourself first, Sensei.!" Naruto said in his loud voice.
"Me? I am Hatake Kakashi. I have no intentions of telling you my likes and dislikes. As for my dream. . . I have few hobbies. . ." I mentally rolled my eyes as he said this; he was such a mysterious guy, Kakashi.
"Okay now you first, Blondie."
Naruto scowled at the name but then it was quickly replaced by a large grin.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto! I like cup ramen, pranking and training, I hate the three minutes I have to wait after I put the hot water. My hobby is to eat and compare cup ramen! And my dream is to become greater than the Hokages!"Naruto shouted, jumping up and down from his seat.
"Okay next."
"I'm Haruno Sakura! I like to read medical scrolls and hanging around with friends, I hate when people underestimate me just because I have pink hair; my hobbies are learning to use medical ninjutsu and messing around with my friends. My dream is to surpass one of the three Sannin, Tsunade-Sama." I said cheerfully. Kakashi looked quite surprised after I told them my dream, I'm not sure why though, I mean I did it before, why not again? Oh wait, he doesn't know that though does he?
"Last guy!"
Oh god everyone brace yourself for the most enthusiastic speech ever!
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are a lot of things I hate, and there aren't a lot of things I like. Also, I have an ambition that I have no intention to leave as just a dream, the revival of my clan and to. . . kill a certain man." Sasuke finished. Wow, that was dramatic; how did I come I didn't think that before? Probably because I was too busy fangirling over how cool he was. I looked over at Naruto and raised my eyebrows while he rolled his eyes. Oh Sasuke, we forgot how odd you were then.
Nobody spoke for a few minutes, Kakashi was probably letting everything sink in as to what Sasuke just said. Ugh I wish he'd hurry up because I'm getting bored. After what seemed like a million years, he finally spoke.
"You all have unique personalities, I like that. Now tomorrow, you will be doing survival training with me. Meet me at the training grounds at 5 am; oh, and don't eat breakfast or else you'll throw up." With that, he walked way.
". . . Ya know, Kakashi-Sensei is so cool." I said thoughtfully. Looking at Kakashi's retreating figure.
My two teammates looked at me, with a 'what-the-fuck' look on their face. Noticing the looks I turned to them.
"What?"
The next morning Naruto, Sasuke and I met at 5 in the morning in the training grounds; I was feeling refreshed, seeing as I had an early night, I ate some food, remembering what happened last time, and I also bought some food with me just in case the boys haven't eaten, we are going to wait awhile after all.
"Ohayo!" I greeted them cheerfully. Naruto looked absolutely shit, there were dark bags underneath his eyes and his hair was a mess. Sasuke, however, was still his handsome self but he looked a bit more sluggish.
"Hey. . ." Naruto replied, stifling a yawn. Sasuke merely grunted.
"Want some food? Kakashi-Sensei would probably take a while to get here, like yesterday." I said, holding out a box of onigiri.
"Thanks Sakura-Chan!" Naruto shouted, happily digging in.
"Want some Sasuke?" I asked him, smiling lightly.
"Hn. I'm not hungry, and Sensei told us not to eat." Sasuke said frowning. But right after he said that, his stomach growled. A small dust of pink spread across his cheeks, he turned his head away from me in embarrassment.
"Oh come on Sasuke! It's really nice!" Naruto cried, his voice muffled from the onigiri.
Sasuke hesitated before taking one, biting into it, he gave me a small nod, which I presumed was a way of saying thanks. I gave him a grin before sitting on the ground, pulling out a medical scroll and began reading quietly.
"Aren't you going to have one?" Sasuke asked me.
"Nah, I've already eaten." I replied, shaking my head then carrying on with the scroll.
After Naruto finished eating, he went to take a nap, his limbs everywhere and drooling while Sasuke stayed standing, his hands in his pockets, looking down at the ground, looking emotionless as he usually was. We waited for God knows how long before Kakashi arrived.
"YOU'RE LATE!" Naruto and I shouted in unison, pointing an accusing finger at him. Ah memories.
"I'm sorry I'm late, you see, a black cat crossed my path so I had to-"
"LIAR!"
(blah blah blah skipping to when they actually start the test)
"Begin!"
We sped off towards the bushes to hide, leaving Kakashi standing in the clearing alone. Naruto was laying beside me with a grin on his face, we looked at each other and nodded, then without a sound, sped off to find Sasuke.
I found Sasuke first and laid down on my stamach next to him, Naruto on his other side. Sasuke didn't seem to notice us at first as he was watching Kakashi-Sensei, apparently thinking.
"Psst!" I whispered to him. He gave a startled little jump and jerked his head to look at me.
"When did-" He started but I cut him off.
"Shush, just let me explain. Sensei has only two bells, meaning that only two of us will pass, but if we work together to get the bells, we would have a possibility to pass, you dig?" I said so quietly that Sasuke probably had to strain his ears to hear me. He nodded.
"Good, so we have to work together then, alright? So here's my plan. . ."
While I told Sasuke my plan, Naruto went of to the other side of the clearing, making sure he was not seen by Kakashi-Sensei. After I told him my plan, we departed, so that all three of us were spread out. I caught sight of Sasuke and Naruto and nodded. Naruto jumped out of the bushes and faced Kakashi with his usual grin on his face.
"Come and fight me, old man!"Naruto shouted in his loud voice.
"Old man?"Kakashi-Sensei repeated, eye twitching, he's been doing that a lot today hasn't he? "Just because I have grey hair it does not mean that I'm old!"
"Whatever, old man! For the love of Kami just fight me!" Naruto repeated, enjoying making fun of his Sensei.
Naruto ran at him, making Kakashi-Sensei surprised at his speed. The two engaged in advanced taijutsu; I could tell Naruto wasn't going full out, he's usually much faster and his punches and kicks weren't as sloppy. Kakashi was doing quite well, as expected from the CopyCat Ninja. The two jumped back, as Naruto quickly threw a kunai with an explosive tag at Kakashi. Said man jumped away as it exploded, but with the distraction, he only just managed to dodge Sasuke's kick, who appeared during the explosion. Sasuke jumped back, throwing shurikens and kunai's aiming them at Kakashi. He then formed a few hand seals and used a fire jutsu, making Kakashi dodge again; while he dodged, I jumped out and put a genjutsu on him; he slumped over, going on his hand and knees, his eyes shocked. He was now in my mind.
In my mind. . .
"Where am I?" Kakashi whispered to him self. Everywhere was white, there was nothing there, just. . white.
"You are in a part of my mind Sensei!" I said happily, appearing next to him. He turned, looking at me in his eyes widened.
"Your. . . Mind?"
"Yup! I put a genjutsu on you, sending your mind into a little part of mine." I explained. "Right now, your body is empty, in a way, and vulnerable, meaning that Naruto or Sasuke would have got the bells by now."
"This jutsu. . . I've never heard of a jutsu that could do such thing!" Kakashi muttered, deep in thought.
"Of course, this is my jutsu, I made it!" I said proudly, crossing my arms.
"A genin couldn't do such an advanced jutsu, let alone make one!"
"Meh, it wasn't that difficult, I did have some help as well." I said offhandedly, it wasn't a lie either, I had Kurenai help me, I mean, she IS a genjutsu expert.
"Okay, well why did you bring me here?" Kakashi asked.
"Errrrm I don't know really, it was one of the first genjutsu that crossed my mind." I told him.
"Right, is there any way I could get out of here?"Kakashi asked looking around
"Nope! Only if I let you." I paused. "Wanna play a game of Go Fish? We have time."
I clicked my fingers, holding out my hand, when suddenly, a stack of cards appeared in my hand.
Kakashi sweatdropped. "I don't see why not."
We both sat down and started playing. When we finished one round, I distantly heard Naruto's voice saying, "Hurry up Sakura-Chan!"
I rolled my eyes. "Naruto seems to be be getting impatient, let's go."
Back to the real world. . .
I opened my eyes to see Kakashi-Sensei slowly standing up, a little dazed. On either side of him, were Naruto and Sasuke; Naruto looked irritated while Sasuke looked plain confused, both holding a bell each. They both looked at me when I casually walked towards them, like standing on the same spot for twenty minutes was a totally normal thing.
"What took you so long Sakura-Chan?" Naruto asked, frowning.
I shrugged. "We just played a round of Go Fish."
"YOU PLAYED WITHOUT ME?" Naruto cried. Sasuke looked at us like we were speaking gibberish.
"Have you never played 'Go Fish' before, Sasuke?" I asked him, raising my eyebrow.
"Hn."
"Fine, be that way." I walked over to Kakashi-Sensei. "Sensei! Do we pass?"
"Well, yes, all of you pass, your teamwork skills are pretty good as well."
Naruto and I jumped up and punched our fist into the air, and cheered, "WE RULE!"
". . ."
"You're both idiots." Sasuke decided out loud, before turning around and walking away.
". . . Party pooper."
