Next morning

An alarm went of in the apartment of Naruto Uzumaki causing him to punch the alarm with unrestrained strength. As the clock flew through at unregistered speeds, Naruto woke in time to see the clock break against the wall.

"God damn it. There goes another one." Naruto walked to the closet on the oppisite side of his bed. When he opened the closet, there were shelves upon shelves with clocks. Naruto really wasn't a morning person and once he mastered the power fragment to point where it was constantly active, he started smashing clocks everytime heard ring the morning. He felt it was better if he just bought bunch of them rather than buy everytime he smashed one. After replacing his clock, he fixed himself some breakfast. During breakfast Naruto couldn't help but wonder if Anko was going to hold up her end of the deal they made.

Flashback

Naruto and Anko were standing in front of the waterfall leading to the secret training. It was almost nightime by the time when they were done with the tour.

"Well now that you've seen my secret training ground, my only wish is that you keep it a secret." Anko was a little surprised to here he wanted to hear he wanted to keep such an amazing place a secret. Although she wanted to know why he wanted this place to be kept a secret, she suddenly had an idea making her grin.

"Well I don't know Naruto-kun," Naruto sighed at the nickname she gave him. Ever since he showed his true self to her she's been trying to flirt with him. Not that he minded. She was a completely attractive woman, sexy if he could use his own choice of words. "This seems like pretty big secret." Naruto of course knew where this was going and if was going to be honest, wasn't surpriesed he didn't see this earlier.

"Since I can see where this is going how about I give you free access to the training ground as long as you keep it a secret."

"Aw thank you Naruto-kun. Although I would have kept it a secret even if you didn't offer me anything." The playful smirk on her face told him that she was telling the truth and that he offered her something for no reason. "But I have to know, why have you been hiding you true self for all these years?" Naruto gave out a heavy sigh. He knew if he could tell anyone about himself it would definatly be Anko. So he began opening up to her. He told her about his hard childhood, the mobs that would occasionly chase after but fail to catch him, the hateful glares he would recieve from the older generation and the cold shoulder he would recieve from people around his age just because their parents told them to. He even told her about how he discovered the he was the holder of the Kyuubi no Yoko, or Kurama. When he finished he saw the sad on her face. Anko knew what it meant to be alone since she was the apprentice of Orochimaru and because he became a traitor, people didn't trust her and generally kept there distance. She really on had three friends who knew was loyal to Konoha. Hearing his how rough childhood was made her feel compelled to share her experience as a child. She didn' know why, she just felt she could trust him enough with her past. By the end of her story she had a few tears streaming down her face. Seeing the one of the few people close to releasing years of pent up stress made feel sympathy. Not wanting to see her cry anymore, Narutto hugged Anko causing her to blush from having his musceles wrappped around her.

End flashback

The was the first time he ever had close interaction with girl, and to be quite honest it felt nice. He remeber how he teased her for blushing. It had two effects, one, it eliminated the sad atmostsphere the two had created, and two, it earned him a good one hour running away session from Anko. But despite the violent chase they had, it was fun for the both of them. Naruto looked at the clock on his wall and noticed he was at least an hour and a half pass the time he was suppose to meet his team.

'It's not like I'm really late. That Kakashi guy seems like he would be late to anything.' Getting up he walked to his closet revealing a line of black over coats with the reverse being red. Naruto got the insperation for the design of the coat from the many stories Setsuna and Mio told him about a priest they back when they were alive in their world. it was based of these stories of the priest that he modeled his apperance and personality after. The only difrence was that Naruto wasn't as obsessed with young girls as Blade was, Which the beautiful girl squadron was thankful for. He pulled on his overcoat and headed out the door with a smirk on his face while he pulled out a pair of pentagonal shades. 'Time to show them what their dealing with.'

Training ground 7

Sakura was not in a happy mood. First she had to wake up early in the morning, then she had to skip breakfast because her sensei told her to, and now she was sitting next to a log in the training field waiting for her blond haired teammateTWO HOURS late. The only good side was that she was alone with her Sasuke-kun. Sakura yawned for fifth time this morning when she saw a mop of blond. Getting angry Sakura marched up to the blond to give him a piece of her mind.

"Naruton you baka what are you doing coming late. Sensei told us to be here at 5 AM."

"Sakura if you hadn't noticed, Kakashi sensei is not here, so how can I be late." Sakura was a little disturbed by the fact that he didn't call her Sakura-chan like usual. Then thats when she noticed his current appearance. Instead of an orange jumpsuit, he was wearing black over coat with the reverse being red. He wore pair of black standard shinobi pants except baggy at the bottom and a pair black combat boots. There were a few things that Sakura noticed about Naruto that she had mixed feelings about. The first thing she noticed was that was a good few inches taller than her and even Sasuke. It was strange to see the shortest person she knew in the academy suddenly become taller than her. The next thing she noticed was the fact that Naruto wasn't waering a shirt under his over coat that was open giving her full view of his well toned chest muscles. Now that she looked closer, she noticed that under his jacket, Naruto was gad well defined muscles all over his upper torso. A light shade of pink spread across her face as thought about Naruto's appearance. On the inside Sakura was havig a mental debate with herself on the subject at hand.

'When did Naruto get so...?'

'He's probably tryring to look cool so he can get us on a date.'

'Yeah that's true, but there's no he will ever be as cool as Sasuke-kun.'

'But he still looks pretty cool though.'

In the real world Sasuke had caught a glimpse of said blond talking to Sakura and had his own thoughts about the blonds new appearance. 'Is that really the dobe. He looks a lot diffrent than when he was in the academy. It makes no difference he's still just a loser.' While the genin were distracted by their own thoughts, Kakashi poofed in to see the only female on the team staring at the blond who looked quite different than when and the Uchiha keeping to himself near the logs stuck in the ground.

'Boy do I have my work cut out for me' "Yo."He stated with a hint of boardom, breaking his students out of their thoughts.

"You're late!" Shouted said female. Kakashi just waved it off like it was nothing.

"Well I was on my way here when a black caat crossed my path, so I had to take the long way here." A giant sweatdrop appeared on the back of everyones heads at the lame excuse he tried to push onto them. Even Naruto's tennants had sweatdrdops on the backs oh their heads. Kakaslhi decided to move along to the exercise. "Alright my genin, today were going to do a survival exercise." He reached into his pocket and pulled out two bells. "What you need to do is to take these bells from me. The one who doesn't have bell by the time it's noon will be tied to one of the stumps behind you."

"But Kakashi sensei, there's only two of them."

"That's right. I guess one of you will be tied to the stump while I eat your lunch in front of you." At the mention of lunch Sakura and Sasuke's stomachs grumbled while Naruto narrowed his eyes through his shades.

'So thats why he told us not to eat breakfast?' asked Naruto to no one in particular.

'Aren't you glad I made you eat breakfast?' Came the smug voice of Setsuna.

'Fine, I'll admit it was a good idea.' Everyone in the real world looked at Naruto due to his lack of reaction but decided to worry about it later. Kakashi pulled out a timer from his pocket and began to wind it.

"The test will be over when this timer goes off at noon. Ready. Begin." Sakura and Sasuke disappeared in a blur, hiding themselves within the trees. 'At least they know how to hide.' Then he caught a glimsp at Naruto who was just standing in front of him. "You're a weird you know. You know your suppose to hide right."

"Why bother hiding when I can just take it from you?"

"Hmm. Is that so?" Kakashi reached into his back pouch and pulled out... a book and opened it up to where he left off. "What's the matter? I thought you were going to take the bells from me."

"Yeah but your reading."

"Don't worry about me. You aren't much of a threat." That statement earned a tick mark on the top of a of Naruto's head. He was basically being told he was weak enough to be considered non-threatening.

'Hey oni-chan, pick up that tree and show him a how strong you are.' Following Mio's advice and walked to the nearest tree, an action that got Kakashi curious as to what Naruto was doing. Sakura and Sasuke were curious as well wondering what the dobe was going to do against a jonin. All three of them watched with shock as Naruto uprooted the tree with little difficulty. As he took a few practice swings, which again shocked them to see how easily he swung it, everyone had there own thoughts.

'What the hell. To be able lift and swing a tree like that with trouble. He must be as strong as Tsunade. Obviously the academy reports about him are all wrong.' Were the thoughts of the future victim of said tree.

'Is that really Naruto? He was never able to something like this before.' Were the thoughts of the only female on the team.

'Is this really the dobe? He was never like this before. How did he get such strength?' were the the emotions king's thoughts. Naruto finished his test swings and faced Kakashi with a psychotic smile spread across his face.

"Get ready Kakashi, cause here I come." He disappeared in blue blur as he finished his sentence. Despite Kakashi's calm demeanor, his senses were on high alert. To someone who was suppose to be a genin, the class dobe in fact, lift a tree with no trouble and then disappear with it as if it weighed nothing was something to be worried about. It was only his highly developed senses that allowed him to use Kawarimi just as the tree was about to hit him.

"Damn, I almost got him. Well at least I got what I wanted." Naruto cursed at the splintered log fragments left on the ground.

In a tree nearby, Kakashi stared down at where he would have been a second ago. 'For god's sake, he could have killed me with that swing. Well that at least that shows he doesn't underestimate his opponents. I wonder how the other two will hold up?'

Sakura just sat there awe strucked at what just happened. First the dobe of the year pulls a tree out of the ground like it was nothing, then hee use it to hit or sensei. What happened to Naruto?' With her mind pre-occupied with her thoughts, she failed to notice Kakashi sneak up right behind her.

"Pssst, Sakura." She turned around to face Kakashi. Before she could even voice her surprise, she was surronded in gust of wind. The world looked as if it was spinning if only for the briefest moment. She gathered her bearings and looked around only to find that Kakashi was no longer there.

"Sakura." Reconizing the voice as her 'Sasuke-kun', she turned around with much enthusiasm only to turn to see the most horribale thing the world. (depending on who your asking) Standing there was a battered and beatan Sasuke with kunai and shuriken sticking out multiple parts, blood drippiing out of multiple open wounds, and his foot twisted on the wrong direction. "Help me, Sakura."

Back at the clearing, Naruto was relaxing near the stumps when he heard a very girlish scream pierce air.

'If I had to guess, I would say that Kakashi sensei just got to Sakura.' Naruto really enjoyed talking to his tenants, espeecially Setsuna.

'Naruto, to be honest I think your team is only going to drag you down.'

'I know Suna-chan, but if I want to get anywhere in my career as a shinobi then I need them. Personally I would rather be on a four person team with you, Mio, and Kuchinashi.'

'As great as that sounds and as much joy that would bring me and my friends, I don't think that will happen as long as this seal is up. Maybe if we knew how this seal works we can figure how to get Mio, Kuchinashi, and myself out without killing you in the process. We could probably ask Kurama for some help.'

'Speaking of the lazy fox, what's he doing?' Ever since Naruto finished his training, Kurama had been sleeping most of the day and whenever he wasn't asleep he would keep to himself. But that didn't mean he didn't like talking to his host or his 'tenant buddies' as he refered to them as.

'At this moment he's letting Mio and Kuchinashi groom one of his tails for who knows what reason. Hey, I sense somebody nearby.' Feeling the same thing, Naruto looked up at a tree across from him and notice Kakashi sitting there watching him carefully.

'You're right. I'll talk to later.' Cutting of the mental connection, Naruto stood up and walked to the center of the field facing the direction Kakashi was in. "Kakashi sensei come on out. I know you're there." There was no response which irratated Naruto a bit. "You have until the count of three to get out before I force you out." Still no reply. "One. Two. Three!" As soon as he finished the word three he held out his arm in the direction Kakashi was sitting and shouted out a two words.

Few minutes earlier

Kakashi jumped tree to tree in search of his last soon to be student. After making Sakura scream and faint, upon which Kakashi admitted that he probably used a high leveled genjutsu on her, he had a run with Sasuke. The Uchiha survivor was a little advance for a genin. No genin that just graduatated from the acadamey should know any elemental ninjutsu. But Sasuke fired one Katon jutsu and proved that the Uchiha avenger had been doing his own training. Though the kid was good at taijutsu, Kakashi was better and was able to disable the Uchiha by burying him up to his neck into the ground. He stopped at the nearest tree as soon as he saw his blond haired student relaxing near the stumps. Kakashi was a little surprised to see that Naruto was able to detect his presence seeing as Naruto was walking in his general direction.

"Kakashi sensei come on out. I know you're there." Kakashi decided not to do anything. Somewhere in his mind Kakashi wanted to see what his blond student can do. "You have until the count of three to get out before I force you out." Curious as to how said blond was going to force him, a jonin, out from hiding. "One" Kakashi stiffened a bit "Two" Kakashi reached for his kunai pouch. "Three" Kakashi was sure he was prepared for anything the ex-dobe was planning, but Naruto did something completely unexpected. When Naruto reached his arm in Kakashi's direction. "Magnetic World" At first nothing happened, then there was a blue sphere surrounding Kakashi. Before he can react, Kakashi was pulled by some unknown force ( Unknown to him of course)toward Naruto. Kakashi landed on his feet near Naruto, much to his relief that he didn't land on his face.

"My, that was an interesting technique there. What was It?"

"It is as the name implies Kakashi sensei." Before Kakashi sensei could his student any further the timer Kakashi set up went off.

"Well it seems you couldn't get the bells in time. Looks like you guys fail."

"Not really Kakashi sensei." Naruto pulled out two jingling objects from his pocket. Kakashi's eye widened.

"When did you?"

"Just before I hit you with the tree I snatched them from your side." Deciding to question Naruto later, Kakashi just accepted the answer for now.

"Well let's go find your teammates. Hopefully Sasuke has already dug himself out." Kakashi and Naruto walked up to see Sakura and Sasuke standing there waiting for them. "Well since neither of you were able to get a bell, I guess I have to tie one of you tie the stump." This made Sakura panic a little seeing as she was the one furthest from getting a bell.

"Well what about the dope? He didn't get the bells either." Sasuke retorted.

"Actually teme, I did." Naruto held to bells in front of him earning a shocked expression from both his teammates.

"How did you get those?" Asked Sakura. Sasuke was a little pissed that the class dobe was able to do something he, an Uchiha, couldn't do.

"Well since Naruto has both of the bells, he gets to decided who he gives the other one to." Kakashi was curious as to Naruto who Naruto would give the bell to. Naruto thought for a while before making his decision. Naruto walked up to Kakashi and handed him both the bells which got a quirked eyebrow from Kakashi and a few protests from Sasuke and Sakura.

"Dobe what are you doing?"

"Yeah you baka, why would you give them back?"

"I'm curious Naruto. Why would you give the bells back after snatching them from me?" Naruto grinned before facing Sakura and Sasuke.

"Because sensei, we're a team and we either fail as a team or succeed as one. Besides who has ever heard of a three man team?" Hearing the blonde's words, Sakura and Sasuke couldn't help but agree with him since it did make since. Seeing that Sasuke and Sakura were starting to agree with Naruto he couldn't help but feel a hopeful that this team would do great things in the future.

"Well, there's one thing left to say now. You all….pass."
