--
Two figures walked from seperate pathed into a opening in the forest. One too tired to be up before morning and one showing signs of sleepiness. Pink hair came into view as the girl sat down to rest. A bird-looking haircut stood near as the boy yawned. Suddenly two figures came into view, one carrying a pack as the other walked beside it.
It was naruto, or to be exact, two naruto's. They made it there and sakura was gawking as sasuke wondered. One naruto smiled. "The real naruto isn't here right now but once he's finished doing his thing a few miles away he'll be here in a second" Sakura got up with slight anger.
She rolled up a sleeve as she stepped closer to one. "Naruto, quite the tricks!" She punched one only for it to disappear. She fell forward before rolling over onto her butt. "What the-!?" The only naruto left gave her a confused look. "Why are you hitting clones?" Sakura felt her fist. THE CLONE WAS SOLID!
She got up and looked between her fist and the other clone. "What's going on?" The clone smiled. "You see i can't do the normal clone jutsu, but what i CAN do is the SHADOW clone jutsu. so as the real naruto get's some training in like every morning we came here with his stuff."
Suddenly two more naruto's shown up. "One clone's still active. guess sakura figured things out." The other chuckled a bit. "She is smartest girl in class" Sakura got angry again. they were mocking her! "SHUT UP!" She hit another clone and it disappeared. She knew it was coming so she just lightened her hit by a little to keep her balance.
The first clone sighed. "Calm down sakura, if you want to hit us at least wait till the real naruto switch's with one of us." Sakura grew a bit frustrated but calmed down. "Fine, but what exactly is he training for? if he wears himself out then we won't pass." As one naruto sat down and dug into the pack the other looked up into the sky. Only one star shown as the morning came.
"Because he still doubts himself. He wants to be stronger for the team so you DON'T fail. Give him at least some credit." The naruto going into the pack got out an apple and tossed it to sasuke. He grabbed a small bowl of rice and gave it to sakura. "Eat up. We're gonna need our strength."
Sakura was about to throw the bowl to the ground but one clone stopped her. "What do you think your doing?" Sakura huffed out before saying something. "Kakashi-sensei told us not to eat or-" The clone smiled as he interupted. "Or we throw up. He was just trying to weaken us. Now listen. Eat up and gather your strength. Kakashi-sensei won't be here for another two hours."
Sakura was confused. "Why would he weaken us?" The clone sighed, sasuke just ate the apple slowly and silently. "It's his test. The real Naruto did some research on kakashi, and every student he ever had told naruto only that kakashi weakens the team by scaring them hungry. Making the team suffer. Sakura-chan, use your brain like you always do, why would he make the team suffer in a test meant to pass them, only to fail them for weakness?"
Sakura thought about it. When sasuke finally was done eating he threw the core to one clone before the clone put it into his pocket. Sakura finally got it. "It's to test the whole team not just the individuals!" The clone smiled more and nodded. "Naruto didn't get what the test was about to pass the team, only the fact it's a team thing. We need to try not to let kakashi know we know this."
Sakura nodded and began to eat. Then she realized something about her food. Filling, low calorie's and in a small portion. Like a diet! "Hey, why do i get diet food?" The clone thought a moment. "I think it's because since your part of the sasuke fan-girl club you try to keep a figure. So you normally diet. Am i right?" Sakura nodded.
The clone smiled. "The real naruto knew that so he wanted to keep you happy. Giving you energy food but still keeping your diet up." Sakura smiled a little. At least naruto wasn't a COMPLETE dobe. Sasuke picked his teeth and made it look like he didn't eat. Even willed his stomach to growl even though it was full.
Sakura finished eating and cleaned herself up as the bowl was taken from her. Suddenly both clones perked up. "Well it was nice talking to you, the real naruto's done and needs us out of here." Sakura nodded. Sudenly one puffed away and the one with the trash suddenly puffed, but in his place was a standing naruto with a ram sign.
Naruto gave off his fox grin. "Miss me? and did you have fun with my clones?" Sakura nodded before sitting down for a small rest. It was only a matter of minutes before kakashi sprang up on them. "Hey everyone, sorry i'm late but i was lost on the road of life." Naruto knew it was a lie and sakura wondered if it was. Sasuke frankly didn't care.
kakashi went to a stump near by a put a small clock on it. "It's set for noon." He pressed the top button and took out two bells with one string attaching them together. "The test is simple. you just have to take these bells from me. All there really is to that." They took a closer look and sakura noticed something. naruto did too but didn't really think much of it.
Suddenly he said something in which made sakura and sasuke perk up a bit. Sakura more then sasuke. Naruto groaned on the inside as it was said. "If you can't get them by noon you go without lunch." He pointed to the three posts near them after he saw their reactions. "You'll be tied to those posts and forced to watch me eat mine."
Suddenly sakura remembered what naruto's clone had said. "Kakashi weakens the team by scaring them hungry. Making the team suffer. Sakura-chan, use your brain like you always do, why would he make the team suffer in a test meant to pass them, only to fail them for weakness?" She finally understood.
She looked at the bells. "He scares us hungry but there's only two bells for us THREE to get?" She perked up, trying not to be suspicious. "Wait a minute there's three of us. How come there's only two bells?" Kakashi smiled under his mask. Naruto understood it was about being the better person here.
"Well that way one of you will be tied to the post and ultimately disqualified for failing to complete the mission. That one goes back to the academy." The group turned determined. Sasuke didn't understand yet but both naruto and sakura did. Then kakashi said something to frighten them more. "Then again all three of you could flunk out as well."
Kakashi grew determined as well. "You can use shuriken to kunai to exploding tags for all i care, but if you don't come after me with the intent to kill me then you won't get a chance to receive a bell." Sakura was a little scared to fight now. "Their dangerous though!" Naruto kept his dobe mask and chuckled and smirked wide.
"Especially since you couldn't dodge that eraser in the classroom." kakashi had payback to use now. "Class clowns are usually the weakest links. You can simply ignore them. Lowest grades, losers." That got naruto's pants in a bunch. He didn't expect the info he got on kakashi to give him this slap in the face.
Kakashi straightened up. "When i say start you can begin." Naruto was using his dobe mask so he just let it out. he pulled out a kunai and raced towards kakashi. Kakashi saw this and didn't think this possible. He had gotten info on everyone in this team and didn't think that naruto was this punky.
The hokage had even said naruto had hidden away his power and knowledge. He even got right to protect himself from attacks. Why still be a weakling? As naruto ran at him he finally got behind naruto in a blink of an eye and caught the hand with the kunai, pointing it behind naruto's neck.
Naruto was amazed at that. Even if he was pretending to be weak kakashi used the accuracy of an anbu unit even after all these years he was away from the unit. If naruto moved his hand down in any direction it would be fatal even with the fox inside him. And the fact kakashi had a hold on his head as well didn't help.
Both sasuke and sakura were VERY impressed and amazed. Even a little scared at what would happen if they went up against him personally. Kakashi decided to play around some. "Don't be in such a hurry. i didn't say START yet." Sasuke and sakura backed away a bit to give them a distant chance of not being caught off guard.
Kakashi let naruto go and naruto shrugged it off. Kakashi smiled under his mask. This was going to be fun. "You came at me with the full intention of destroying me though, and that's impressive to say the least. Well what can i say? i'm actually starting to like you guys."
That got naruto in a good mood. Another precious person added to his list. If he wanted to keep it then he had to try destroying kakashi to make it stronger! Kakashi was serious now. "Get ready." They got ready to jump away to make a plan. "aaaand...GO!" They jumped away.
Naruto quickly made a clone and it transformed into a snake, slithering to where sakura had hid. Kakashi didn't notice a thing, and naruto KNEW that. Only when kakashi's special attribute came into play in which he heard about would make him notice. Naruto got a clone ready and this time kakashi did notice. He started talking with the clone for a second before dispersing it.
At Iruka's place he and the hokage were discussing something. "Iruka what did you wish to see me about. you didn't really bring me over for tea and small talk." Iruka sighed but smiled. "Tea yes, to calm my nerves and yours even though your showing no signs of nervousness. Small talk no, it's kinda big in my eyes."
The hokage was a bit impressed with iruka's foresight. He always wanted iruka to make jounin when naruto graduated to genin for real. "Then talk iruka." iruka looked down at his tea. "Naruto's been assigned to squad seven. Tell me, how tough a trainer is he?" Iruka knew he had to be tough or the hokage wouldn't assign naruto to him.
The hokage sipped his tea. "Kakashi you mean...Your concerend about it i see." Iruka put his hands down on the table. "I am. I heard a rumor about his training methods." The hokage foreseen this like iruka foreseen his own nervousness. He pulled out a book and handed it to iruka. "These are the teams assigned to him, everyone. Those who have passed and those who have failed are in this book."
Iruka took it and opened it in a little surprise. After a few pages he found the pass section. he silently said release thinking it was a genjutsu, nothing. He was in more panic on the inside then he allowed on the outside. "This..This is-!"
Back at the training grounds where the clone slithered to sakura still. Kakashi stood in the openeing. "Ninja must know how to conceal their movement's, and hide effectively." In a tree where kakashi only saw a small shine of metal was sasuke. Under a bush where he only saw sakura because of her red outfit.
Kakashi looked towards sakura a bit more, thinking there was something about her that didn't seem right. But they did hide smartly. "They understand that much, they've hidden quite well." He suddenly felt a small chakra spike, not by much come from in front of him. It was naruto...
Kakashi was insulted and confused. Naruto smiled. "You and me, right here, fair and square! Let's go!" kakashi slumped a bit. "hm?" Sasuke groaned on the inside. "Fool." Kakashi decided to push his buttons, knowing it would bring a reaction from him. "You know compared to the other's your a little..weird." Naruto got a little mad at that.
Naruto tried to make a snappy come-back but kept his dobe mask on. "Oh yeah? well the only thing weird here is your haircut!" he rushed in once more.
In that time the snake made it to sakura. "Pst, sakura-chan, don't get scared when i come into view." She turned to see a snake. She was a little freaked before it spoke. 'I'm a clone, i transformed into a snake to keep a low profile while the real me goes and makes a distraction."
Sakura nodded as he whispered into her ear. "Now, i know what this test is about, it's about team work. Here's the plan." Sakura listened intently as the snake spoke into her ear.
The real naruto had stopped as kakashi put a hand into his kunai pouch. kakashi looked up a bit. "Shinobi tactics part one, Taijutsu. The physical part." naruto perked up a bit. "Taijutsu? he's going hand to hand so he's getting ready to pull out a kunai." Kakashi pulled his hand out and in his hand was...
A little orange book. Naruto almost collapsed as kakashi held it as if to read it. "Well what are you waiting for? Make your move." Naruto shook out of his daze. "But, why are you reading a book?" Kakashi read it as if not noticing naruto. "To find out what happens next in the story of course. Don't worry, with how weak you are it dosn't matter if i'm reading or whatever." naruto got really pissed and insulted with that.
He Sped to kakashi and punched, only to be blocked and his direction heading to the ground. He kicked high to kakashi's head but kakashi ducked and naruto's momentum carried him a few feet away, enough to throw a dangerous damaging punch. Kakashi wasn't there anymore, and naruto knew where he was. behind him...
Naruto read about this move. "It required to get behind the opponent and chakra inhance your finger's, creating a damaging poke to-" "Don't let your enemy get behind you all the time." Naruto paled. Good thing it was a clone and kakashi didn't know that. Sakura saw this just as the snake got done telling her the plan and slithered out of range to poof away.
She saw kakashi's fingers extending from his closed hands holding his now closed book. "That's a hand sign! Is that the sign of the tiger? That's dangerous to be sure! He'll destroy naruto with that, or from what the snake clone told me, would if it wasn't a clone fighting kakashi. Naruto is this smart all along?" Sasuke saw the tiger sign as well and knew what it was.
He remembered it from his own training in the academy. "That's for a fire jutsu. He's not toying around with naruto, he's gonna obliterize him." Sakura put the plan into motion. They had to seperate and fail before they could pass. She turned up and yelled. "Naruto! get out of their he's gonna destroy you!" The clone looked to sakura.
Kakashi smirked under his mask. "Too late." he rushed his fingers forward. "Hidden Leaf village secret finger jutsu!" The fingers planted into naruto's ass, and the clone paled more. The clone was rushed into the air flying fast as he was launched like a rocket from those fingers. "A THOUSAND YEARS OF DEATH!" The real naruto knew that taijutsu. "-The rear end...A joke taijutsu but strong none the less."
Sakura was grossed out at that one. "That wasn't a hand sign at all, he just poked him." Sasuke sweat dropps from that. He spoke only for him to hear and not kakashi. "Those two..are just two idiots." The clone didn't disappear. This surprised sakura. "Did he really take that hit!? Guess i put too much confidence in naruto's abilities."
She suddenly remembered the snake clone's words again. "That's a clone, he's making a distraction until he can make the shadow clone jutsu with more clones to surprise and impress kakashi, giving us more points to pass in kakashi's mind. The clone has to hang on until kakashi can't tell when it disappears and the real naruto comes back up."
She smiled. "I should be ashamed of myself for doubting a teammate." Once the clone splashed into the water kakashi opened his book again. "Ok then, now where was i." Underwater the clone disappeared. Sasuke tried for a kunai but thought against it. Joke or not it was a jounin, so he was guarded.
Sakura forgot the plan for a split second. "Wait a minute that's against the rules! he's a jounin, we can't POSSIBLY match his strength." Finally after some time the real naruto attacked from under water, throwing kunai at kakashi. Both sakura and sasuke were surprised by that.
Bringing his hand up kakashi caught each one two of his fingers. Still spinning on them. Sasuke fully put his hand away from his kunai holders. Iruka was still looking at the book. "It can't be...This is even worse then the rumors!" The hokage tried to hid his own nervousness more then iruka would imagine.
"Kakashi's tests may be a bit more difficult then the others." iruka was panicing more! "A BIT! more? Not one student ever passed his tests! It's inhumane!" The hokage drank a little more tea. "That's true, not one person could ever live up to his standards. So they were all eliminated." That scared both of them more, but the hokage never showed it.
Finally the real naruto swam up to shore, breathing for air. Kakashi didn't notice it was a clone who was thrown into the water. Kakashi sighed. "What are you doing now? You know you won't get lunch if you don't get a bell by noon." Naruto's mask was put on pretty good. "I know i know you told us already!"
Naruto smiled on the inside. "Shadow clones disappear after receiving a large hit. That thing made it fly a far ways meaning no shadow clone could ever possibly survive it. I put in alot more chakra into it to make it stay for awhile longer. good thing too, it even fooled kakashi!"
Kakashi decided to get naruto's anger rising for more of a challange. "You know you look a little wobbly for someone who's gonna surpass the hokage's." Suddenly naruto's stomach ached and growled for food. Sasuke sweat dropped again. "he gave US food but didn't eat himself? What was he thinking?"
Naruto yelled out. "Well you told us not to eat breakfast, how can i fight when i'm starving to death!" Kakashi smiled. he was failing just as his test proved. "Well you caught me off guard is all!" he smiled a bit. "I WILL become a ninja!" Suddenly seven clones popped out of the water.
Kakashi looked up to see them and was impressed. He saw a second naruto but didn't know if it was the clone or shadow clone. He was impressed. Sakura was amazed. Naruto had made only two at one time, he could make seven at once? How much more could he make in an instant?!
Sasuke was instantly VERY impressed with that! Kakashi thought about the rumors told throughout the chuunin's tales. "Guess it IS true. He CAN make shadow clones." He smiled. Things were getting VERY intresting. "It's a great technique to be sure but since your not strong enough to even be chuunin yet i think you can't maintain it for very long."
In sakura's mind she smiled. her inner self was partying. "CHA!! Naruto rules! Sasuke is better but still naruto rules!" Kakashi was ready for anything. "You say that your the best naruto, but your still the worst student. You can't beat me with this jutsu." Naruto and his clones rushed in.
Suddenly kakashi couldn't move. "WHAT!?" A naruto was latched onto him pretty tight. "He got me from behind!" Now sasuke was intrested! Sakura looked on very impressed. Was this really naruto? the clone chuckled as he held tighter. 'Didn't you say not to let your enemies get behind you? Good advice sensei!"
Naruto was impressed with himself a little. His other clones held kakashi's legs as he struggled to get free. One jumped into the air and came in for a big punch in the face. "And this is for nailing me in the butt earlier!!" Sakura was shocked and impressed, Naruto was always holding back? now she see's his true self! "When did he get so cool?"
Sasuke smiled as he watched, liking naruto's skills alot. "Diversionary tactic, nice." Naruto's punch came closer and closer to kakashi's face as kakashi struggled. This was bad for him! "Your MINE! and so are those bells!" Kakashi was gona get punched. The sound of a fist to the face came through.
Naruto had hit...his own clone! Naruto thought a second before figuring it out "NO WAY! He couldn't have-!" He had to keep his mask on. "YOU! Your kakashi-sensei aren't you!? You transformed into me to make me think i screwed up! NICE TRY!" he sent a wave to all his clones to attack eachother.
Sakura forgot naruto was cool for a second, thinking naruto was too naive now. Naruto dispersed the jutsu with only him in sight now. Sakura sighed. "Naruto you had to do that didn't you?" Sasuke was now unimpressed. "He got you with a replacement jutsu you idiot. He takes an object and switches it with himself to gain a quick advantage and couterattack the enemy as he's open."
Naruto saw something shine on the ground and looked. A BELL!! Naruto's dobe mask was up all the way. "I must have got him with my attack! He dropped a bell!" He ran to it. He knew it was a trap but needed to keep up his preformance to pass. He was suddenly yanked up and was now being dangled by a rope a few feet off the ground. Worst part was he was upside down.
Sakura finally snapped out of her 'naruto is an idiot' spell. "That's right, naruto's being more of an idiot to find out the task of the test, so we can pass later on! I'm so STUPID! If naruto was right then kakashi will be hit sometime just for sasuke to run out of there. I just do what i normally do and try to act all weak so time runs out quicker." Sakura got ready for everything.
Kakashi showed up and bent for the bell. "Naruto naruto, think beofre using a jutsu or your enemy might use it against you." naruto groaned. His feet were tied too tight for normal genin graduates. Kakashi was taking extra measures. 'Oh and if the bait is obvious, don't take it. Or you'll end up as you are now in future missions."
Naruto was trying to act more to fool kakashi. He was angry flopping around. Kakashi smiled alot inside. He overestimated naruto's abilities. "Always see through deception." naruto kept it up. "I...Get...IT!!" kakashi put the bell back on his hip. "I'm telling you this cause you DON'T get it. You THINK you get it but that isn't the same as actually getting it. Get it?" naruto didn't play well to mind games.
Sasuke perked up, he saw an opening! he got his kunai and shuriken. "he's open! Now's my chance!!" He threw a barrage of weapons at kakashi as he kept ranting. "Won't you ever learn-" He got hit mid-sentence and was thrust to the side. Naruto saw this and acted surprised, but he knew that was going to happen.
He yelled at where sasuke was. "What the hell!? You went to far this time sasuke!" Kakashi fell for a second before...
He poofed into a log. REPLACEMENT JUTSU! Sakura saw the log pop up and knew sasuke was running, just like naruto's clone said! She had to get sasuke before he got caught so they could work together on this! She ran after the sounds that left the tree sasuke was in.
kakashi was keeping a bird's eye view on the two running away. "That's where you are." He reached for his kunai pouch. Sakura ran faster trying to watch up to what she thought was sasuke. "Don't tell me i'm too late! The plan won't work that way! And besides i won't let him capture MY Sasuke-kun!" Suddenly she saw kakashi in a clearing. She stopped and hid fast and quietly as she could. She sighed on the inside. "He didn't notice me..."
Suddenly a voice whisper sounded. "Pst, Sakura...behind you." She perked up a bit and turned around quick. There was kakashi looking at her. She heard a poof, knowing it was only a normal clone jutsu. She didn't see a shadow! Kakashi put up a hand sign of the rat and suddenly leaves rose and fell around them.
Sakura's sight fogged up as she screamed out in shock. Kakashi was using-!
Naruto looked down. He saw a rope just under camo, knowing if he dropped down like an idiot he'd be caught once more. He saw this one underestimated him. "A ninja must see through deception, yeah right how am i suposed to do that?" He knew kakashi was waiting for him to be smart, and didn't let the jounin know.
He cut the ropes that hung him and fell to the ground. he grinned like and idiot only to be hoisted up once again. IN the distance kakashi felt the tree rope trap set off once more. "Guess the hokage OVER-estimated him. Oh well."
Sakura found herself blacked out for a moment, to wake up standing in a small clearing all alone. She forgot what kakashi did. Suddenly she was panicing! "what? Huh?" She was looking around and shaking in panic more. "Someone there?! I think i felt something what was it! What's going on!?"
Suddenly from behind a tree a ragged voice called. "S-sakura.." She knew that voice anywhere! "Sasuke!" She turned and gasped in horror. There was sasuke, in a near-death state begging for help with weapons inbedded in his body and blood covering him. "Sakura, please help me!"
Sakura's breath held for a moment. Suddenly she screamed louder and fainted after. Kakashi was in a tree just over-seeing it. "I think i overdid that one a bit. Although she does have to see through these things." Again he was reading. Suddenly he vanished.
With sasuke he turned after he heard the scream. "That was..sakura?" Suddenly a bell sounded and he turned once more to see kakashi, still reading. "Ninja battle tactic number two, illusionary jutsu. Sakura studied this in class but failed to see it coming." Sasuke knew what that was. "Genjutsu...it's just simple mind control. I'm not surprised he got sakura with it...but..." he was all too familiar with that type of jutsu.
"I'm not like the others. I'm not weak nor an idiot." kakashi smiled under his mask. Hurting their pride made them more fun to deal with. "Say that AFTER you get one of these bells... My sasuke." he laughed a little at that. Sasuke knew sakura's crush on him. That just made him frustrated.
kakashi stepped up to sasuke a foot or two and concentrated on his next plan. Sasuke was different form the other two but still. He was just a genin. Sasuke got ready. Kakashi knew what was coming. Sasuke threw some kunai and shuriken at kakashi. kakashi dodged them easily.
Kakashi was a little frustrated that he was under-estimated by a genin select. "There's no use in NORMAL attacks." Sudenly sasuke threw a kunai in the air. "Try this!" The kunai hit a rope. Kakashi knew what that was for. "A Trap!" He dodged the other way from the oncoming kunai and shuriken.
Suddenly sasuke was at his back in an instant. Sasuke wasn't toying with him, this was going to be a challange. Sasuke kicked at kakashi only for his foot to be caught in a hand. Sasuke threw a punch to get free but his hand was caught as well. he turned his body the right way and axe kicked kakashi, only to be blocked by his arm.
Sasuke smiled on the inside in excitement. "GOT EM'!" Sasuke reached for the bells but kakashi threw him away as he backed away fast. Sasuke only touched a bell. "This kid-!" Sasuke got up right and was a little mad. "Damn it, only a few centimeters away from getting one!" kakashi stood in a slight impression. Kakashi WAS impressed. "He's fierce. I won't be able to read make out paradise now."
Sakura was finally waking up. She suddenly saw he leg's spread and closed them, blushing alot as she gasped from more horror. She suddenly remembered everything. "I saw him! I saw sasuke and he was...NO!! Sasuke you have to survive! Where are you!?" She was panicing more then she should it seemed.
Naruto was in think mode now. "hmmmmm" "OK naruto, sakura's been caught in a genjutsu just like you knew she would and sasuke's probably giving kakashi some trouble and about to lose. So all i have to do is search for the next phase of the plan." He looked around and saw something on the monument near by.
He looked closer and saw two lunches. He was confused. "OK, kakashi's too strong for us to take on alone so we're all going to end up on the posts, so why bring two lunches?" He thought for a moment, trying to figure things out. Suddenly his belly growled and he couldn't think at all. "Just great. Well no use in thinking on an empty stomach. Kakashi still has awhile before he goes into the ninjutsu part of this test, and it won't due for me to be hungry when i need my strength."
He cut the rope and this time fell without being hoited up once more. He ran to the monument in slight victory.
Kakashi and sasuke stared eachother down. "I'll give you this, you ARE different from the others." Sasuke huffed out before his hand's started moving. They were perfoming hand signs! Sasuke even called them out! "Horse...TIGER!!" he took a deep breath. Kakashi paled a little. "NO WAY!"
He knew the tiger sign was for a fire jutsu, but this was too much! "Genin can't do fire jutsu! Take's too much chakra! There's no way!" Sasuke mentally called it out. "Fire style! FIREBALL JUTSU!" and let the breath he took out, sending a blast of fire at kakashi.
After the fireball vanished there wasn't any sign of kakashi, not even ashes. Sasuke was a little surprised, and thought he had that element with him! "Where!? behind?! above!?" There wasn't any sign at all! He grew shocked as kakashi's voice sounded. "Where?" He was in deep trouble!
Suddenly sasuke heard a crackle of earth and a hand on his ankle. He looked down to see that kakashi had burrowed underground! "I'm where you least expect me!" Sasuke paled in shock. "UNDER!?" Suddenly sasuke was thrust down into the ground, pulled hard by kakashi. He found himself neck deep underground, just enough to breath but not enough to move.
Kakashi knelt down above ground over sasuke. "Right under your feet. Earth Style, head-hunter jutsu." Sasuke struggled all he could. "Can't move huh? That was NINjutsu, the third ninja battle skill. You have talent, and you were right you are...Different from the others. But then again different isn't always better."
He turned and pulled out his book again. Time to check on naruto, he was trapped for awhile now. "They say that the nail that sticks up is the one that get's hammered down." He started to walk away as sasuke struggled harder. "Oh great." He needed to get out and get a bell soon!
Naruto knew this was a trick, and that kakashi was on his way right now. he had to be convencing. "Hahahahahaha!!" he picked up some chopsticks as he grinned. "Sensei said that if we didn't get a bell then we don't get any lunch but if i eat my lunch NOW! then there's nothing he could do!"
He chuckled more, truthfully and fakely as his plan was working perfectly. "IT'S CHOWTIME!!" Suddenly he snapped in shock and horror as kakashi saw him. "Hi there." Naruto calmed down a little and looked grimly. "I was just..joking sensei..." kakashi knew otherwise. "Nice try."
Sasuke was thinking alot on how to get out. "He's alot stronger then i am, i can't get around that." Sudenly something was coming from the bushes and what came out he was a little surprised to see. Sakura stopped dead in her tracks as she saw sasuke in the ground.
She didn't like this one bit! She almost lost her balance and stepped down more firmly only to be more afraid of what she saw. Sasuke blinked in confusion. "Sakura?" That did it. Sakura screamed and paniced loudly. "SASUKE'S JUST A HEAD WITHOUT A BODY AND HE'S TALKING AHHHH!!" Suddenly she fainted and sasuke was in alot of frustration.
"And that's my partner..." He sighed as he tried harder to get out. He finally felt something give and he quickly got out of the dirt and brushed himself off. he went to sakura and seen if she was ok. She was coming out of her daze finally it seemed. It took her awhile to finally grasp her surroundings. "Sasuke..."
She suddenly jumped on and clung to him. "OH SASUKE YOUR ALRIGHT!!" That got sasuke in a 'get away from me quick' play mode. He started to pry her off of him. "LET GO, LET GO, GEEZ!!" Finally after some time sakura calmed down and sasuke was girl free.
he stood up. "I got to get a bell before lunch. That doesn't leave much time." he started to walk away when sakura finally remembered the clone's words again. "The bells will not be caught by us since we don't know what to do to pass. kakashi seems to be going through shinobi tactics and skills so if you or sasuke get caught in the next two types of jutsu then the real naruto will have a chance to find out. Just make sure you figure it out first and catch up to sasuke."
That's right! She was caught in a genjutsu! This jounin wasn't playing around it seemed. She perked up and tried to stop sasuke. "You're still after those bell things?" Sasuke turned. "Awhile ago i touched one, not by much but i touched it. I can do it if i just try harder."
Sakura was impressed by sasuke once more like always. "That's great i can't beleive you did that!" Even though sakura was putting up an act her innner self yelled out. "CHA! NOW I'LL NEVER GET ONE OF THOSE THINGS AND IF I FAIL AND HE PASSES THEN WE'LL BE SEPERATED! NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOO!" Sakura opened her eyes to see sasuke walking away again.
Sakura laughed nervously. "You know it's almost lunch so we don't have enough time to pass. Maybe we should just give up and try again next year!" Sasuke got a little mad at that. Sakura shut her mouth quick. They calmed down a bit and sasuke was lost in his thoughts, talking aloud.
"I'm the only one...Who can destory that person." In his mind he was a red eye with three black dots in a swirl formation. That eye was attached to a man he knew. Sakura was a little confused. "What? who?...You mean sensei?" She thought about it... when they greeted he said he wanted to destroy a certain someone. It couldn't have been kakshi!
He didn't hear her "That day.. i was crying..." Sakura was a little worried about sasuke's behavior...and felt sorry for him. "When were you crying?" he heard her a little. "It was my..." Sakura spoke again. "What? What happened to you?" He heard her this time and perked up. "I am an avenger! That means i have to be stronger then my prey! I need this training there's no time for set-backs any longer!"
Suddenly the bell rang, and they both heard it. Sasuke was mad again. "Damn it, i wasted to much time!" he walked back to the training posts. Sakura was a little saddened. "Sasuke..." She walked a good distance behind him back to the training posts. When they finally got their, they saw naruto tied to a post and kakashi waiting for them. They sat next to naruto on each side. Sasuke and sakura willed their stomachs to growl as naruto's natrually did.
kakashi smiled. "hungry huh? well that's too bad. You know what i've decided, i'm not going to send you back to the academy." naruto knew this was a test. he smiled anyway on the outside. Sakura was confused. 'What? But all i did was faint and fall over. Do you get points for that?" Inner sakura was cheering "CHA! LOVE WINS OVER!!"
Sasuke was a bit releived. Sakura cheered and jumped in the air as naruto wiggled within the ropes. "That means all three of us-!" kakashi smiled as his own plan came into it's conclusive stages. "Yes you all are now going to be dropped form the entire program!" Sakura stopped jumping and naruto gawked a little. "PERMANENTLY!!"
That got naruto in a bundle. "He can't do that! he may be an elite ninja but he has no right to drop us! hokage even said so himself! This has got to be a trick!" On the outside he was angry. Sasuke and sakura were scared and shocked at the whole idea. This was it...it was over for them it seemed.
Iruka wass till appualed by this whole thing. "Kakashi never passed one student. He failed them all!" The hokage sighed. "Iruka, this group is young, even i cannot say if it is good for them or bad for them to endure the life and hardships of a ninja. Although kakashi was right about all those he failed." iruka started to see something, some pattern.
Naruto's mask was on overtime. "What!? Drop us from the program!? but that means we'll NEVER become ninja! You said if we couldn't get the bells we'd be sent back to the academy! YOU CAN'T JUST CHANGE YOUR MIND AND KICK US OUT, YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!"
Kakashi was insulted that naruto was this dumb. "It's because your not thinking like ninja. You think more like little kids. Like brats!" That got sasuke's nerve hard. he rushed at kakashi fast, ready to kill! Kakashi was slightly impressed that he kept on fighting. naruto would have earlier if it wasn't for him being tied down.
Sakura and naruto were surprised by this action. Suddenly smoke rose and cleared quickly, leaving sasuke laid on his stomach with kakashi ontop of him, holding his arm down and his foot keeping sasuke's chin to the ground. "You think it's all about you." That got sakura's nerve. 'LET GO OF SASUKE YOU JUST CAN'T STEP ON HIM LIKE HE'S SOME BUG!"
kakashi thought about this groups actions during everything and got miffed. He was insulted. "You don't know what it MEANS to be a ninja!! You think it's some kind of game!?" That confused sakura and miffed sasuke. Naruto was finally understanding a little bit. The next words gave him the tests true meaning. as well told it straight out.
kakashi's eye spelled murder. "Why Do you think we put you on squads? Did you ever stop to think for a moment on that question?" Sakura was still confused. "What do you mean?" But to naruto it spelled it out completely. "We were put on teams to test our TEAMWORK! It all makes sense!"
kakashi answered sakura. 'I mean, you never realized what this excercise was all about. Not even close!" Naruto's mask put on a show for sure. "What it's about?" kakashi didn't see the mask, he saw naruto being an idiot. Thinking naruto was a true idiot. "yes, that's what determines if you pass or fail."
Sakura felt like a true idiot. "but..i meant to ask you about that from the beginning." kakashi knew why she didn't she was too busy with sasuke. "Use your head. Three people on a squad? Why do you think we would do that?" Naruto yelled his mask out loud. "How are we supposed to know why you picked three people, we didn't make the rules!"
kakashi was getting miffed again. "It's so basic...TEAMWORK!!" That got sakura's attention. She finally realized it. naruto looked like it when he already did as sasuke was confused, even though he finally realized it as well. "Just working together?" kakashi nodded at sakura for that one. "Exactly. It's too late now anyways, but if you came at me together, you MIGHT have been able to take them."
He rose up a little. "Well, anyway. It's over." Sakura thought about the bells for a second. 'Wait a second, you set it up with three people but only gave us two bells. if we did get them then one would fail and it would lead to failure and group conflict!" kakashi smiled, sakura was finally realizing it.
"Exactly, sakura, I purposely pitted you against eachother." naruto finally saw the grand design...but from what he gathered they all had a second chance at it. They still had another chance. The grand design was to- "You were supposed to overcome that and put the squad over yourselves."
kakashi had his plan set, it was going to work or fail depending on what he said. "A genin has to have a natrual feel for teamwork. But you three...it never even crossed your mind." he had to piss them off, try to make them bend the rules to prove him wrong. But still think rules are better then teamwork.
"You were too busy obsessing over sasuke who was gone, while naruto was right in front of you and you wouldn't lift a finger!" Sakura felt really bad now. Her plan's and objectives got them here. "naruto" naruto perked up, he knew kakashi underestimated him.
"You do everything on your own...everything!" Naruto's mask stayed up. "And you sasuke..." He stepped on sasuke's head more to make sure he was listening. "You thought the others were so far beneath you they were worthless." he looked up. 'Arrogance...Ninja missions are carried out in squads."
he smiled a little. "Although you need individual skills, teamwork is the most essential element in a mission. Every shinobi understands this. Individuals putting themselves before the squad leads to failure, and death!" His next move had to be perfect. "For example." he pulled a kunai and put it to sasuke's throat.
He had to do this right. "Sakura, kill naruto now or sasuke dies!" Sakura watched in horor. This got too out of hand in her eyes, and it was out of her hands! Naruto's mask shown more promise and looked panicy. "That's what happens in a ninja mission." he pulled the kunai away as sasuke thought it over.
Was he that stupid? that weak without someone to give him strength? Kakashi twirled the kunai. 'A partner is taken hostage and your left with an impossible choice. In that situation someone dies." he got up off sasuke and put his kunai away as he walked towards the memorial rock.
Sasuke didn't dare move. "Did you look at this stone? The names ingraved on it?" After sasuke knew he wasn't in danger anymore he got up. Kakashi looked upon the stone, finding two names in particular. 'Their all names of the ninja who are honored as heroes of this village."
Naruto knew that, but his dobe mask stayed on. "That's it! i decided i'm gonna have my name engraved on that stone." Sakura was a little worried with naruto's behavior. he was getting dumber to smarter to even stupider. "I'm not gonna just die like a dog! i'm gonna be a hero!"
kakashi loked to naruto in wonderment. he was that stupid? "They are a special kind of hero's" naruto grinned his dobe mask grin. "What kind are they then?" kakashi went silent as he got saddened by his memories. "Tell us!" Kakashi spoke finally. "Their all K.I.A." naruto's mask put out alot of work today.
He blinked. "oooooh that sounds really cool." Sakura was a little sad as well as kakashi. "It means killed in action...they all died." Naruto finally let his mask down a little. he was a bit sad. Kakashi's comrades were on that stone and he knew that. Sasuke didn't care too much.
Kakashi sighed a little under his breath. "This is a memorial stone. The names of my best friends are engraved in here." Sasuke tried to hide it as naruto's mask tried to stay off even when he tried to keep it on. Sakura showed her ultimate sadness for someone. kakashi turned around and saw them.
He finally put his last part of his test into action. "I'm going to give you one last chance to pass. This time i won't go easy on you, so eat up to gain some strength. Except naruto." naruto was a little peeved at that. "It's your punishment for trying to eat all by yourself." Sakura finally saw naruto's plan. It was to put teamwork into action after he figured it out!
Kakashi made sure this was a tough one. "And if anyone tries to feed him, that person will automatically fail." They were in a bind this time. kakashi looked scary. "I make the rules, you follow them...got it?" They gulped. This was bad.
Iruka was at the door out. "horkage, i'm leaving." he looked to iruka. "Iruka, listen to me. Whether they pass or fail, do not blame kakashi." iruka goraned on the inside. He bowed. "Right." He vanished out of sight. The hokage finished his tea.
Sasuke was eating his lunch to build up some strength. that jutsu he used used everything he had. Sakura just looked at her lunch in thought. "Naruto already gave us food, so we've got alot of strength anyway. he's the one who didn't eat to give this a chance to pass. If we break the rules we fail but if we don't we still fail. And naruto will be damaging the team."
Sudenly she looked at naruto who's belly growled for food. he tried not to worry them. 'This ain't no big deal i can go for days without a meal, for weeks even." But his stomach said otherwise. Sasuke finally thought about it. "naruto's my partner as well as sakura, if we want to pass we have to be at full strength."
He passed his lunch over to naruto. "here..." Naruto looked and was a little surprised. Sakura had to be oblivious just in case kakashi was watching. 'Sasuke no, you heard what sensei said!" Sasuke didn't look up at all. "Kakashi's gone, i can feel it" Naruto knew otherwise.
Sasuke tried not to think too much. "We have to work as a team. If naruto's hungry he'll be weak and ineffective. That hurts the team and jeapordizes the mission." naruto didn't beleive this. the loner uchiha acting this way? Sakura thought a second. He was right. She didn't feel kakashi around.
Sakura gave her lunch to naruto as well. Naruto looked surprised at this but he knew they would figure it out. He smiled at sakura. She smiled back. behind a tree right behind them kakashi saw the whole thing. he smiled. He finally passed a true team into the ninja ranks.
Naruto smiled a bit. "Thanks you guys." Sakura smiled a little. "Don't thank me, just hurry up and eat." Naruto shook his hands, but no good. Still too tight for normal genin. "I can't move my arms sakura." She had an idea to help but didn't like it. Naruto saw her face and smiled a little.
He lifted his chin a bit. "No need to feed me, just put the tray under my chin." She saw this and did, not knowing what he was going to do. He lowered his chin down upon the tray and thrust his color bone out to hold it. When he got a hold he nodded a bit to sakura. She smiled. He wanted to show he was capable, and not wanting to embarrass her.
He pulled his chin in and down, lifting the tray down as the food went into his mouth. His way was messy but effective. He only had a chance to eat a little before kakashi popped up in front of them in an explosion of dust and wind. his face showed..with rage! "YOU!!"
The lunch dropped from naruto's chest and to the ground as he paniced and sakura tried to stay still. Sasuke held his own as well. Once it was over kakashi spoke again. "You broke the rules! I hope your ready for your punishment!" he did a few handsigns, scaring them to death. naruto didn't really get sacared because that wasn't even a dangerous jutsu!
Thunder clouds gathered and lightning hit the ground. kakashi was going crazy on them! "Any last words!?" Neither sakura or sasuke had the courage to speak up. Naruto did though. "But you said..." kakashi stopped a second. "Yes?" Naruto shouted out. "You said that there were three of us! And that's why sakura and sasuke..." Sasuke got it and had to say something now.
He stepped up and covered naruto sense he was defenceless. "We're all on this squad and we're all in it together!" sakura finally got the courage to speak as well. "That's right, we gave our lunches to him because the three of us are one!" naruto was a little surprised at their words but knew they were true. he was happy to find alot of pecious people.
Kakashi stepped up. "The three of you are one!? That's your excuse?!" he looked at them all, and noticed they were ready to give their lives for the other. like a true team. he smiled truly and said two simple words. "You pass." Sasuke smiled a little as sakura and naruto blinked in little confusion.
Kakashi said it again. "You, Pass." Sakura knew they had done it but needed to sound convencing. "What do you mean? What did we do to pass?" kakashi's cloud scare jutsu faded. "Your the first ever team to succeed. The others did exactly as i said and put themselves over the squad as well."
he stood a bit. "They even fell into every trap, couldn't even think for themselves. A ninja must see through deception. Those in the ninja world who break the rules are scum." his favorite quote.. by his best friend... "That may be true, but those who abandon their own friends and team mates are worse then scum." he looked to the sky. happy a team finally passed.
They all were really happy about this, and learned some new things today. kakashi put a thumbs up. "Excercise complete, team seven starts their first missions tomorrow!" All three cheered in different ways but still cheered! kakashi turned away. "Let's go home." Sasuke and sakura got up and left, naruto still tied to the post. He smiled as his friends went off in the distance. he put his hands up in a handsign and called a shadow clone to help him free.
Suddenly sakura remembered naruto and rushed to help him. She saw a shadow clone untying him and went to help. naruto looked at sakura. 'What are you doing here? i thought you were heading home." Sakura looked up to him and smiled. "Can't leave a team mate behind." naruto smiled true this time, no mask. it was worn out today as is. "Thank's sakura." he was free in no time.
They both walked back to the group who was waiting for them. The clone long since gone. They all walked back to the village and ate. To naruto, things couldn't get any better then this. he had friends...he had bonds... he had the best life after so much hardship. he was truly happy now...truly...
In the morning sakura woke up to her mother's banging on her door. She got up and yawned. "Sakura! You come here right this minute!" She got up and walked to her door, opening it. Her mother hugged her tightly suddenly. 'I'm sooo proud of you! you didn't tell me sasuke was on your team!"
Sakura smiled a little tiredly. "Yeah he is along with naruto." Her mother smiled more. "Well sakura all i wanted was that. naruto wants you though, he's out in front waiting for you." Sakura groaned in frustration. "This early?!" She got dressed and went to see naruto waiting.
She sighed. "What is it naruto." He looked down a little. "Sakura, i know you think i'm an idiot. That's just a mask i wear to fool others.. to protect myself from harm when i was younger. I will still have to wear it in order to keep my true abilities a secret, at least till i make chuunin."
Sakura was confused by this. "So your really smart?" Naruto nodded. "I can beleive that after yesterday, but i still don't know the true you naruto. you hide yourself and make me hate you...why?" Naruto looked sad suddenly. "Because it's better to see you any other emotion besides sadness when sasuke turns you down or something."
Sakura felt guilty now. Naruto smiled though. "It's ok, i made you angry at me so i asked for it." Sakura smiled too. "Ok naruto. So why wake me this early? The sun isn't even up yet." Naruto smiled more. "I wanted to show you my true self. If your willing to see me."
Sakura nodded and felt a wonderful feeling. "I'd like that." naruto started to walk away. "Then come on, we don't have much time before we meet sasuke later" Sakura nodded and ran after him. After awhile naruto stopped and so did sakura. He smiled and turned to her. "Can you sense anything?"
Sakura was confused but focused. She felt a genjutsu nearby and whispered a release. She opened her eyes to see a rock in the trail, where it wasn't there before. "What's going on?" Naruto walked to the rock and put a hand in mid air. He chakra enhanced it just to focus it into the wires, which now shown thanks to the chakra. Sakura's mouth fell a ways as she paled. Naruto smiled alot.
He looked at it from the chakra point of view. "It's a maze i set up by myself, traps that even the most elite jounin can't pass. It takes copying my movements to the exact position at the exact time and almost perfect balance. Only the hokage could do this alone, without copying my movements to a 'T'." Sakura began to realize something.
She remembered something about naruto being beaten up till near death as a child. He made all this just to be in a safe place as he trains? He must be really strong! Naruto started to laugh a little. "I'm not all that strong sakura, but i do train enough to be a chuunin not a genin. When i am chuunin i'll be as strong as a jounin to be sure!"
Sakura suddenly felt a realization. He was showing her this, when he never did to anyone. He trusted her. 'Thank you for showing me this naruto." Naruto shook his head. 'It's nothing. but sasuke has to keep out of the loop till i show everyone. He may kill me just because he wants to be as strong as i am." Sakura realized that just as naruto said it.
Sakura sighed. "I have to go get ready for our missions today naruto, we'll talk later ok?" naruto nodded. They were seperate now.
Hinata was waking up to the morning dawn sun. She rose and went to the bathroom to take a shower. After she got dressed she got ready for her teams first missions. She went into the clan's training area to see her father standing under the small waterfall. She went up to him and he looked at her.
She bowed at him. "Father, i'm off now. My teams missions start today." Hiashi nodded and continued to concentrate. Hinata rushed out the door and through the streets. Today just felt strange to her. She felt as if something was going to happen to her...what she didn't know was it was both a good thing...and a bad thing...
It was in the afternoon and in the mission's office sat the hokage and iruka, in front of them was naruto, sasuke, sakura, and kakashi just as the fire lord's wife left with a death grip on her cat. Mission complete. The hokage looked at the other missions ready for them. "Let's see..."
He grabbed the d rank scroll and looked through it. "Your next mission can be babysitting the fire lord's son, helping with the weeds around the village or-" naruto groaned. "Old man, give us a real mission!" The hokage looked at naruto. He knew this would happen. "There's like, what, at least a few hundred genin in this village to do that stuff and we've already proven at least to where we can take c rank missions."
Kakashi was impressed at that. He wasn't THAT dumb it seemed. Sakura agreed and so did sasuke even though he shrugged it off. The hokage sighed as he puffed out some smoke. "Naruto you KNOW why you have to do this, it's for-" Naruto interupted a second. "For the economy? then let others do it, i know you have low c rank missions in that scroll of yours that aren't getting done. let us take it Besides we have a jounin as a sensei we're gonna be just fine."
The third sweat dropped. naruto kenw his stuff. Kakashi smiled a bit. "Although i'm flattered by naruto's compliment on my strength i still think it's a good idea to go up a little in the ladder. And hokage-sama, you do know what's coming up don't you?" The third nodded. Iruka nodded as well. "Then this would be a good task to take up to see if their ready."
After some silence and confusion the third pulled up the c rank scroll. "Fine then, i will agree to this. Here's one...You have to escort a man back to his home country and keep him safe until his job is complete. Will you accept before i give you the exact details?"
The team nodded. The hokage puffed on his pipe. "The man is a bridge builder and he is going to revolutionize the world with the bridge in current construction. The man is building this bridge in his home town in the land of waves." Iruka knew this one. "you must protect and escort this man from here to his town and the bridge from bandits and theives."
Naruto knew something was wrong. He read up on history and the land of waves didn't allow bridges. And they were so poor they could only pay for a c rank mission, when it's a b rank instead. He found an outlet for his skills. The hokage spoke up a bit. "bring in the builder!"
The door behind the team opened and showed a man, ragged and poor with a sake bottle in his hands. Naruto didn't think this was good. The man goraned in drunken logic. "A bunch of little snot nosed brats?" he took another swig of his drink. "And you, the little one with the idiotic look on his face, You really expect me to beleive your a ninja?"
Naruto was a litle frustrated at that but had to keep his mask on till chuunin. He laughed a little. "Who's the little one with the idio-...huh?" Sasuke and sakura came closer, showing they were both taller then he was by an inch or more. Naruto's masked grew angry.
He tried to run after the man but kakashi held him back. "WHY YOU! I'M GONNA DEMOLISH YOU!" Kakashi goraned a little. 'You can't demolish the client, naruto, it doesn't work that way." The man took another swig before being serious. 'I am tazuna, a master bridge builder and i must return to my country." kakashi smiled as naruto finally stopped. "Well we heard the details of the mission from the hokage so no need to tell us what we need to do."
After getting ready and heading out of the village gate Naruto stopped and cheered up. "ALRIGHT!!" Sakura was confused. "What's up with you naruto?" naruto started looking around. 'This is the first time i ever left the village. I'm actually traveling the world." Tazuna looked back at the group.
He pointed to naruto. "hey, am i really supposed to trust my life with this runt? he's a joke!" naruto got peeved now. He may be wearing his dobe mask but still! Kakashi smiled nervously a little. "He's with me and i'm a jounin so there's no need to worry."
They were off finally, with a little agrivation. Naruto was deep in thought as they walked. "Let's see, a B rank mission where most likely ninja's will attack us for this guy, not bandits or common theives. This should be fun! I want to show how good i really am! When i get back i'll enjoy a hot steaming bowl of ramen!"
Suddenly he saw a puddle in the middle of the road, and so did kakashi. They both thought the same exact thing. "It hasn't rained for months, this has got to be a trick!"
And sure enough, after a small while, two men came out of that puddle and chained kakashi up. The whole group looked on in horror as kakashi was suddenly ripped into little shreads! Only naruto saw kakashi use a substitution. Suddenly the two ninja were upon them. "That was no fun, maybe we should go easy on these twerps!"
The second man ran forward. "NOT LIKELY!" Naruto dodged out of the way before sidewinding his heel into the face of the ninja. That got his attention. The other man quickly chained a circle around naruto, only for him to poof away. "GOTCHA!" Naruto aimed an threw a shuriken at the chain, and imbedded it into a tree nearby.
After he caught them up he threw a kunai into the small hole of the shuriken and kept those two at bay. They were trapped now! Sasuke didn't waste time as he got onto both the brother's arms, kicking their faces and the chain coming off as they were kicked away from the tree. Naruto grew a bit frustrated at that. "Showoff! Now you got us killed!"
Just as they went for the bridge builder, with sakura protecting him, kakashi reappeared and closelined the two ninja brothers. That was that as kakashi incompasitated them and left them in the forest. Kakashi smiled a bit. "Good work everyone, i'd say you all make good genin. Although these two are chuunin level ninja."
The bridge builder took a good look at the blonde boy. "Something tells me this kid.. ain't no pushover..." After awhile they finally set off again, and only made it so far. Naruto sighed. "Those two were so boring! i want a challenge!!" He sudenly started to frantically search around.
Naruto threw a kunai into a bush beside them. "THERE!!" Everyone sweatdropped. kakashi sweatdropped because even though naruto showed some skill he was still being an idiot. He too felt something not good for them in that bush...
They took a look and found...!!
