Hello and welcome back to this week's installment! Today we will find the answers that plagued us through the past week! I am the announcer and the authoress! I will lead you through the trials and tales of our young Kunoichis and the adoptive father/ lazy jounin, along with a couple of friends who decide to drop by and make the story interesting. Enough with my badgering let us begin the story where we left off.

Kakashi's Daughters

Chapter 3

-------

This morning started out with a bang. Literally. Kimi had slept in that morning and was running around so that she could make breakfast and pack a lunch for everyone (while getting ready at the same time). She was brushing her hair and ended up tripping over one of the mangas that Kakashi had bought for her and Yukiko (as rewards for a job well done in training). The others didn't really like mangas so Kakashi had bought them weapons (which he didn't know at the time was a HUGE mistake). Kage got the one thing that she wanted most, Fuuma Shuriken (AN: the weapon Sasuke used against Zabusa). Mika was given a new package of throwing needles. Hoshiko had received some shurikens.

When the four hibernating girls and Kakashi finally got up to investigate the noise, they found Kimi buried under a pile of mangas, scrolls and anything else that was previously on the bookshelf that she had crashed into. Deciding that they were hungry after the night's rest, they helped Kimi out of the pile-up and escorted her to the kitchen so she could start cooking while the others got ready to meet the Hokage later on. He would be examining their skills to see if they could join the Academy or if they would stay training with Kakashi.

After breakfast (which consisted of the usual hash browns, scrambled eggs, bacon and toast), the gang headed off to meet the Hokage in a clearing that was decided on earlier that week. It was usually unused and no one would notice them. When they arrived, they noticed that the Hokage was already there and he looked like he had just arrived himself.

"Good Morning Girls!" the Hokage said as soon as he saw them. He had taken a liking to them as if they were his own grandchildren.

"Good Morning Grandpa!" they replied. They too had become close to the old man. Actually, he and Kakashi were all that they had. They didn't know anyone else from the village. (They were told to keep a low profile so they weren't allowed out to play like normal children their age.)

"Let us begin," the old man stated switching to Hokage mode, "I hope you came prepared."

By his tone of voice, the girls knew it was time to get serious. They got into a line to await further instruction.

The Hokage, seeing this, called the first up to have an all out taijustu match against Kakashi to test their fighting styles. The first happened to be Yukiko. She nodded and got into a battle stance that she had formed herself. Kakashi made the first move to get the match started. He darted over at her and tried to give her a punch to the gut. She evaded his attack by flipping backwards and darted after him to do the same. He evaded as well. The fight went on for about five minutes. Finally, the Hokage decided that it would be enough. Kakashi came out unharmed and Yukiko had a scratch on her arm when she had underestimated a Kunai.

Kimi was already bandaging up the cut when the Hokage called the next fighter. It was Hoshiko. The match started and Hoshiko made the first move. She faked a punch at Kakashi only to drop and try to sweep his feet from underneath him. He saw this, jumped up, and noticed that Hoshiko was coming in for another kick and quickly sidestepped that. This continued until the Hokage called for the next fighter to step up.

Mika walked forward as if she didn't have a care in the world. Kakashi stepped into his fighting stance while Mika just stood there. This time Kakashi made the first move since Mika obviously wasn't going to. Kakashi made a fake to the left and then tried to kick her. Mika jumped backwards and started calculating his next move instantly. Kakashi disappeared and reappeared behind her to trip her. Mika, seeing this, jumped up and over Kakashi to try to deliver a punch to his head. Kakashi saw this and blocked it. This continued for what seemed like forever for until the Hokage called for the next fighter.

The Hokage noticed that Kakashi was getting tired so he decided that he should just let the last two spar against each other. They nodded and stepped into the directed area. Nodding to each other again, they got into their fighting stances. Within seconds, they shot off towards each other becoming blurs. It was clear that these two were better than the others were. (Only because one fought to insure peace and happiness to those she cared about and one fought to bring honor to her unknown name.) Kimi was the first to land a blow to Kage. Kage wasn't expecting Kimi to hit her (even though the hit was not hard enough to bruise); Kimi was just too kind hearted. Kage threw a swift kick at Kimi. When Kimi went to block it, she realized that the kick was harder than she was expecting, it knocked her over. Kage tried to kick Kimi while she was down, but Kimi just rolled out of the way. This continued until the Hokage finally snapped out of his stupor.

The next thing that the five six year olds were to be tested on was their weaponry. They were to go in the same order as before to give everyone enough time to rest. Yukiko went first and threw a handful of kunai at a tree only to form the Kanji for peace. Hoshiko, not be outdone, threw two handfuls of shurikens at the same tree to form a star around Yukiko's peace Kanji. Next was Mika. She spun around and threw five throwing needles to hit the target that was set out. All five struck it dead in the middle. Kage motioned for the others to stand back. Once everyone was a safe distance away, she threw her new Fumma Shuriken. The weapon disappeared into the trees and came back at Kage, who leapt up to catch it. There wasn't a sound. Thinking she had failed, the Hokage motioned for her to step back. Instead, Kage smiled and walked in the direction of the trees. One by one, Kage walked past each tree and gave it a nudge. Within moments, four trees fell over; their trunks severed clean in two. Kage giggled at the stunned looks on everyone's faces and mock bowed to Kimi for her turn. Kimi stepped up to the designated area and turned her back to her target. She threw three kunais and three shurikens over her shoulder to have the kunais pin the shurikens to the tree. Smiling that she hadn't damaged the trees too much, she bowed and returned to the line to await the next test.

"Now girls this is the test that I have been waiting for. Seeing how well you did in the previous tests, this one shall prove to be very interesting. I will call out the different jutsus that you have been working on and I will expect you to perform them perfectly. After that, I want you to show me any justsus that you have created or are not part of the original list," The Hokage said in one breath. This caused Kimi and Yukiko to eyeball his blue face with muffled giggles.

The girls stood up straight (all but Yukiko who never stood up straight) into the appointed line and waited for the Hokage to call out the first jutsu.

I am going to stop it there! … I am evil yes... but you have been waiting too long for a new chapter and I have a writer's block so I will make what I have so far into a chapter. I am sorry. I will try to update sooner but my editor was behind in school (so was I) so I had to wait until she could edit it for me. …. What will happen in the next chapter of Kakashi's Daughters? Will they continue under Kakashi's tutelage or will they go to the academy to meet the rest of the Naruto characters? Will Kimi turn into the maid? Will anything exciting happen? Tune in next time for Kakashi's Daughters!
