Chapter 2: Kakashi learns a secret and the pummling of teamates
Sarutobi had almost defeated his nemisis, when Kakashi and Naruto shunshined into his office. " Ahh, you got my
message."he said. "yes, now what did you want to talk about, and why is Naruto here too?" Kakashi asked, confused. "It's about Naruto. 'He' wanted to tell you something about 'himself' that only we know." Kakashi turned to Naruto, who seemed to be experiencing an odd mixture of excitement, and fear. "well, what?"
Kakashi asked. " O-ok, d-don't think we are p-pulling some weird p-prank on you, b-b-but..." Naruto started. " W-w-wait, jiji, s-s-since this is a SSS ranked secret, s-shouldn't we, you know..." "OH!" Sarutobi practicly slaped his forehead in frustration at himself, and activated a seal that blocked all sound coming from the room. "there, thats better. Now go." He nodded to Naruto. She took a deep breath and started. " O-ok, this is g-going to sound weird, but... I-I'm a girl." she finished quietly. The room was dead silent for a while. "You're joking, right?" Kakashi asked. Naruto looked hurt, and Kakashi could tell it was genuine. "Sorry, its just, nevermind. Sorry." Kakashi sputtered out. "Does anyone else know?" he asked. "N-no, S-shikamaru w-was close once, but still h-hasn't figured it out y-yet, plus I keep myself bandaged, s-so it's not as odvious." Naruto explained. Kakashi noded and asked, "is that all?" "Yes, but you musnt tell anyone, but it's ok now if others find out by themselfs, so you don't have to be as careful Naruto." Sarutobi said. Naruto gave a rare small smile, and Kakashi wondered how he hadnt seen it before, now that he knew, it was so painfuly odvious. "See you tomorow, Naruto." he said. "M-my real name is N-naruko, you know." She said with another smile. Kakashi blinked, it hadn't even occured to him that naruto might not be her real name. "well then good night, Naruko." Kakashi corrected himslef. Naruko smiled like she had gotten an early christmas, wich he found odd, and admitedly, a little cute. He then shunshined out of the office and to his home. He had a feeling that tomorow would be a fun day indeed.
The next day, Naruko was there first again. By the time Sasuke got there, she was reading another book on jutsu, which she quickly finished. When Shikamaru got there, she was streching, and when Kakashi got there,
two hours later, she was half way through a botany book. The boys were staring at her, slightly slack jawed
when Kakashi said "Ok, time for the final part of your genin test." when Kakshi spoke, Sasuke and Shikamaru had jumped in suprise, they had been so focused on Naruko, they hadn't noticed him, but Naruko had, she just glanced up when he spoke, and went back to her book. thats suposed to be my thing. Kakshi silently pouted."You're late." Shikamaru said. "Sorry, a black cat crossed my path, and I had to take the long way." he said with a weird eye smile "This will be a survival test, you have to get these two bells from me by noon, you will have to come at me..." "... W-with the i-intention t-to kill, or we w-w-will never g-get the bells, r-right sensei?" he noded." I-I think t-that I s-should stay o-out of this then, o-or you will get k-killed by accident."Naruto said with a sad face. The others (minus Kakashi, because he got the reports of her training with the Hokoge, the results were astounding by the way)looked at her like she was crazy. "Naruto, you were the dead last, how could you say that?" Sasuke said while smirking confidently. All of a sudden, Kakashi was behind him, and tapped his sholder, making him jump. "From the reports of her training with the Hokoge, she is about ten times stronger than you, fifteen times more acurate than you, and twenty times faster than you, do you really want to provoke her?" Kakashi asked him."..." Sasuke 'said'. "I didn't get much sleep last night, so I need a nap, please don't disturb me, ok?" Naruko asked with a sleepy smile. They noded. She went to a tree that provided a decent amount of shade, and fell asleep. Kakashi turned back to his other students "ok, s-he is the only one aloud to take a nap, you two will have to take one from me, on my mark...go!" he said. They leaped into the , at least they learned the basics, but I have a feeling that lazy will take a nap right away. Despite Kakashis thoughts, Shikamaru was acualy studing his sensei, seing what he would do. He cought the henge that Kakashi had used, and figured out where he would be. Naruko had been watching the whole thing through half-lidded eyes they aren't too bad... she thought, before switching places with a shadow clone she had made earlier, and going after Kakashi. "hey Kakashi!" she shouted from right behind him. "AHHHHH!" he screamed in suprise, he then whirled around with a kunai and stabed whoever had the gall to suprise him, it turned out to be Naruko, and he paled, until, when he pulled out the kunai, she disapeared into a puff of smoke. "o-oops, did I s-suprise you, Kakshi-s-sensei?" she said with a small smile. "Ahh, Naru..to." he said with a small smile. "What do you want?" he asked. "h-how about w-we team up for a b-bit to test my t-teamates? Y-you could then f-focus on evaluating them o-one at a time." she said with an innocent glimmer in her eyes and a hopeful smile on her face. "Oooo, sounds like fun!" Kakashi practicly purred with pleasure at the idea. "J-just be c-careful with t-them please, they a-are still genin, K-kakashi." Naru said, understanding what he was going to do. "Yeah Yeah, so who are you going to evaluate, Naru?" Kakashi asked, finding it easier to call her that. "I-I will go after S-sasuke-san, if you don't m-mind. I would l-like to see what he c-can do." she said quietly. "then that leaves the Nara to me." Kakashi said, also grining. "O-ok, lets g-go. O-oh yeah, I n-need a bell." Naruko said."Ok, here you go."Kakashi tossed her one of the bells."Be careful with it, I forgot to mention, the one who loses the most horribly, gets tied to a tree, and dosen't get lunch, while we eat in front of them." Kakashi said with a cruel smirk. "T-thats cruel, s-sensei!" Naruko said with a dissaproving look in her eyes, she didn't want to do that, she really cared for everyone, and didn't like the idea of doing something like that.
By noon, Sasuke had been caught in about twenty consecutive traps, all the same one too, hit by thirty different fire jutsu, twenty five water, eight-teen earth, fifty lightning, and about one hundred air (all at only half power) been pumeled to the ground with mere tai-jutsu, and experienced countless gen-jutsu. Shikamaru got about the same, except about half as much gen and nin-jutsu, because Kakashi didn't have as much chakra. All in all, they were completly exausted, but Kakashi and Naruto seemed fine, in fact Kakashi was grining like he just had the time of his life while Naruko shook her head at him and sighed. "ok, it seemes that Sasuke is in worse condition. You won Naru, you can tie him to the tree, I'll get the lunch." Kakashi said with a smirk. Naruko sighed, and pulled a rope out of seemingly nowhere, and proceded to do as Kakashi instructed. When Kakashi came back, he had three bento. "Now if anyone feeds Sasuke here, everyone fails, got it?" Kakashi said. He walked away with his bento, and Shikamaru and Naruko started eating. Five minutes later, and Naruko couldn't bear seing her teamate in pain anymore, and tried to give him what was left of her bento. "Here, eat it. I'm not that hungry anyway, I ate breakfast." she said. "... my hands are tied up, how do you expect me to eat?" he said. Naruko just sighed again " 'sigh' f-fine I guess I have n-no choice but t-to feed you." she said. Sasuke gulped and noded. Kakashi then stormed in and yelled, "YOU ALL...pass." he finished with a smile. They all stared at him. "How? We were beaten horibly by you and Naruto." Shikamaru asked. "I-it was an e-exercise on t-teamwork, wasn't it? Y-you were g-going to t-test it during t-the survival, b-but when I took a n-nap, you had to think o-of another way t-to test it, so you c-came up with t-this." Naruto guessed. "You are correct, Naru." Kakashi said with a grin. "Now to celebrate, how about a team dinner, on me?" he asked."ICHIRAKU!"Naruko shouted. Kakashi sweatdroped and felt a sudden pain in his walet.
