All of sudden six or seven clones of Naruto came out of the water. "This is my best technique! The mass shadow clone replication!"

'They're not images! Their actual replicas! How did HE learn to do that?! Just yesterday he couldn't even create a clone! Okay calm down. He may have mastered a technique that not many people know but I still believe his an idiot. I have nothing to fear…. Right?'

Naruto was running straight for him. 'He should know that isn't going to work again.' But just as I thought that Naruto got him from behind. My eyes widened.

"A ninja shouldn't let the enemy get behind him, right, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked with a smug look. "I used the shadow replication and let one sneak from the lower part of the river, and I sneak behind you! I'm going to pay you pack for that technique on my butt!"

'Idiot you don't tell the enemy your plan.' Naruto was about to hit Kakashi-sensei and when he did he punched…. Naruto?

All the Naruto's looked confused until one started to shout. "You must be Kakashi-sensei! You transformed, didn't you?!" All of the sudden all the Naruto's started to hit each other calling the others Kakashi-sensei.

I slapped my forehead. 'I have him as a teammate? I'm doomed. Doomed, doomed, doomed, I say.'

Finally Naruto thought of letting go of the replication. Naruto undid the transformation and Naruto stood in the flied alone.

'Idiot I knew that wasn't going to work.'

Naruto started to pout until something shiny glittered in the sun, under a tree. I squinted my eyes and saw a bell.

"A bell?! He must've been in a hurry if he dropped a bell." Naruto started to run towards the bell.

'His really not going to…'

He was about to pick it up until rope appeared and swung him up into the trees.

'Too late.'

"What's this?! Hey, hey! The bell!" he tried to reach for the bell but Kakashi-sensei picked it up from the ground.

"Use your techniques after thinking carefully. That's why it was used to your disadvantage. And…Don't fall for an obvious trap, stupid." That got Naruto mad. I smirked. "Ninjas must think beyond the normal."

"I already know!" Naruto yelled.

"I'm telling you this because you don't, got it? Your movements are filled with unnecessary motions."

I was about to go out and fight him but a large amount of knives went and hit him on his side.

'If Sasuke thinks he lowered his guard, he is a larger idiot then Naruto is.'

Naruto of course started to freak out. "Sasuke you went too far!"

Before Kakashi-sensei could even fall to the ground a log replaced him.

'Idiots.'

I then heard movement and I assumed that Sasuke started to run for the hills. 'Don't blame him.'

I then looked down and saw that Sakura was also gone, no doubt chasing after Sasuke. I sighed. 'Why did they have to make a team of three or this case four? Can't teamwork be used by yourself? No. unfortunately not.'

I jumped down from my tree and went towards Naruto, who was still trying to get out of the rope.

"Want some help?" I asked.

Naruto looked down and shook his head cutting the ropes.

"I wouldn't…"

He cut through and he landed on the ground hitting his head.

(I know this doesn't happen but I'm changing it).

"Too late. Listen I don't want to work together, but don't you think…."

"Sorry Utau! I can't! I need to get a bell! Bye!" And he ran off.

I sighed. "We should work together. Never mind." Just then I heard a scream. I rolled my eyes, and sighed. "That was Sakura. I've been sighing a lot. That cannot be good for my health. Oh well. Better find her."

I ran towards the direction I heard her scream and I saw her laying on the ground unconscious. "Genjutsu. Sakura you idiot. I can't believe you fell for a trick like that. I had a feeling it dealt with Sasuke though. Well done Kakashi." I kicked her lightly on the stomach and nothing happened. I kicked her again and she moaned. I kicked her harder and still… unconscious. "Oh well. To the last person on the god forsaken team."

I jumped in the trees and just as I was about to continue I saw something sticking from the ground. I squinted my eyes and saw Sasuke's…. head? I jumped down and looked down. He glared at me, and I snickered. "Hey. What's up? Want a high five? Oh wait. You're a little stuck."

"Just help me out." He demanded.

"Look. I don't need to be told what to do by you when you can't even move. Besides, it's my turn." I turn around and saw Kakashi-sensei. "Right Kakashi-sensei?"

Kakashi-sensei nodded. I closed my eyes and when I opened it they were all black with a grey flower in the middle, and five grey petals coming out of the center. Kakashi-sensei's eyes widened. "What you never saw the Chi Hanakotoba Me (Ice Flower Eyes) used before?"

"Well it seems you unlocked you families Kekkei Genkai doesn't it?"

I nodded. I lifted up my hand and all the trees and flowers started to blow from an invisible wind. The petals from the flowers came around me, shielding, and protecting me. I twirled my hand a little making a vein from a flower expand coming from behind Kakashi-sensei.

I then sent my forwards and the petals attacked him, becoming ice shards in the process. Kakashi-sensei jumped up, and I lifted my hand up, making ice come from center of flowers. When it hit him, he was a log. I felt something sharp on my neck. I smirked and disappeared in a flash of petals. I went in a cluster of trees. I saw knives coming forward but I made petals come forward and they turn to ice, protecting me.

Finally I jumped out again and used the ice shards, Kakashi-sensei jumped right back, next to vein, which latched on to him, and slowly wrapped around him. I made ice come from the center of the flower again, and keep his hands behind him, and his feet held on the ground. I walked over to him and the vein let lose around the waist, I pulled the bell and smirked.

I let the vein go and I was gone from the scene, just as the bell rang.

I sat there next to Sasuke, Sakura on the left, and Naruto… well he was tied to the post. Apparently he tried to steal a lunch. 'I knew was an idiot but I didn't think he was THIS bad.' Everyone's stomach was growling… well accept mine of course.

"Oh oh, stomachs growling huh? That's too bad. Oh by the way about this exercise well I decided that I won't send any of you back to the academy."

Naruto smiled.

"What I passed? All I did was feint and fall over. Do you get points for that?" Sakura asked with a confused look on her face.

I twitched my eyebrow. 'Yes you do. But something's not right here. I'm the one that got the bell and got the meaning of this stupid test. They three didn't…. so they can't pass…. Unless….. Kakashi-sensei, you. Are. Brilliant.' I smirked.

Sakura started jumping up and down screaming.

"Then! Then! That means… All four of us…!" Naruto screamed excited.

Kakashi-sensei smiled. "Yes of three, not including Utau is being dropped from the program. Permanently."

Even had shocked looks on their faces, even Sasuke was pissed? Me, well I just smirked.

"What?! But if you drop us from the program then we can never be ninja! You said if we don't get the bells well be sent back to the academy! You just can't change your mind and kick us out! Why would you do that?!"

"Cause you don't think like ninja. You think like little kids. Like brats."

From the corner of my eye I saw Sasuke get mad, and before I knew it he was running towards Kakashi-sensei. In a flash he had Sasuke pinned down, and was sitting on top of him, holding his knife.

"You think it's all about you."

"Let go of Sasuke! You can't just step on him like his some bug!" Sakura yelled.

"You don't know what it means to be a ninja. You think it's a game. Why do you think we put you in squads? Did you consider that question for one moment? I know Utau did."

"I don't know what you mean." Sakura said.

"I mean…. You never realized what this exercise is all about. Not even close. Utau came the closet, and I reward her for that."

"What is means…?"

"Yes. That's what determines rather you pass or fail."

"But that's…. I wanted to ask you about that from the beginning." Sakura said.

"Use your head. Four people on a team… Why do you think we would do that?"

"UGHHHH! How are we supposed to know why you picked four people?! We didn't make the rules!"

"It's so basic. Utau." Kakashi-sensei looked at me.

"Teamwork." I said.

"Just working together? Is that what you mean?" Sakura asked.

"That's what she means. It's too late now but if all three of you would have come at me you might have been able to take them. Well anyway it's over."

"Wait a minute. You set it up with four people but only three bells. If we work together and got the bells only three of us would be able to keep them. And that would lead to group conflict and the squad would break up."

"Exactly. I purposely pitted you against each other. I wanted to see if you could overcome that and put the squad before yourself. A Genin should have a natural feel for teamwork. But you it never even crossed your minds, all besides Utau of course.

"Sakura! You obsessed over Sasuke who was gone, while Naruto was right in front of you and you wouldn't lift a finger to help him. Naruto you do everything on your own. Everything! Even when Utau tried to help you, you completely ignored her. Utau you didn't even try to help Sasuke you just made fun of him. Of course you got a bell, and you tried to help Naruto and wake up Sakura, not very gently, but still. I award you for that. And you Sasuke, thought the other were so far beneath you they were worthless.

"Arrogance. Ninja missions are carried out in squads. Of course you need individual skills but teamwork is the most essential element. Every Shinobi understands this. When every individual puts themselves before their squads this can lead to failure and death. For example…

Kakashi-sensei pulled out a kunai and held in to Sasuke neck. "Sakura! Kill Naruto now or Sasuke dies! Utau if she doesn't do it kill her!"

I rolled my eyes, while Sakura was gasping like a fish and Naruto kept looking between Kakashi and Sakura. Kakashi-sensei picked up the kunai up and sighed. "That's what happens on a ninja mission."

Sakura sighed. "Oh boy that was really scary."

Kakashi-sensei was twirling the kunai around his finger. "The enemy takes a hostage and you have an impossible choice and someone ends up dead." He put the kunai away and got off of Sakura. "On every mission your life is on the line." He started to walk towards the stone. "Did you look at this stone? The names engraved on it? They are all ninja who are all honored as ninja in our village."

"That's it! That's it! Now I know! I decided I'm going to have my name engraved in the stone! I'm not going to live and die for nothing! I'm going to be a hero!"

Kakashi-sensei looked at him. "They are a special kind of hero."

"Huh? What kind of hero are they? Huh? Tell us." Naruto asked.

Silence….

"Well? Well?"

"They are all KIA." Kakashi-sensei answered him.

"Whooo. That sounds really cool."

I sighed. 'What an idiot.' "It means killed in action." I said. Everyone looked at me. "What? I know things."

You could feel the sadness coming around everyone.

"This is a memorial stone. The names of my closet friends are engraved here."

Silence….

"Alright I'm going to give you one more chance. But I'm going to make it much harder on you. You'll have three hours to get a bell. Eat lunch now to build up strength but Naruto doesn't get any. It's your punishment for breaking the rules and trying to eat by yourself. If anyone tries to feed him that person will immediately fail. I make the rules you follow them Got it?"

Sakura, Sasuke and I were eating when Naruto's stomach growled… again.

"This is no big deal! I can go without eating for days! For weeks! Believe it! This is no big deal!" His stomach rumbled again. He sighed. "No big deal."

Sasuke looked up at Naruto and then his food. He held out the bento box to Naruto. "Here"

"What? No Sasuke you can't do that. You heard what the sensei said."

"Kakashi's gone. We need to get the bells as a team. If Naruto is hungry he'll be weak and inactive. That hurts the team. And that jeopardizes the mission."

I looked at him and sighed. "Here" I held out the food.

"You too Utau?" Naruto and Sakura asked.

I shrugged, "Unlike you guys I ate. And I suppose I could help you guys."

Naruto smiled.

"Just don't get used to it!" I added.

Sakura held out the bento as well. Naruto looked like he was going to cry. Sakura smiled.

"Okay thanks." "Don't thank me just eat."

"But isn't that your lunch?"

"I'm on a diet. I mean I don't eat has much as Sasuke and Utau. So uhhh JUST TAKE IT NARUTO!"

"I can't take it. Because I can't move my hands. You have to feed me."

"HUH?!"

"Hurry up. He can come back any minute." Sasuke said and I nodded.

"UGHHHH….. This is one time only! I'm never doing this again! Is that clear?!"

"Clear as a bell Sakura." Naruto said.

I rolled my eyes.

Sakura gave Naruto the rice ball and then there was a giant poof of smoke.

'We're dead.'

"YOU!" Wind blew everywhere and we had to cover our faces. "You broke the rules! Hope you're ready for the punishment."

Kakashi-sensei did some hand signs and then dark black clouds appeared and thunder and lightning appeared. "Any last words?"

"But you said…" Naruto started to say.

"Yes?"

"You said there were three of us! So that's why Sakura…." He started to fade off.

"Were all on this squad and were all in it together." Sasuke said.

"Yeah that's right! We have our lunch to him because we four are one!"

'I can't believe I'm saying this…'

"Their right!" I shouted. Sasuke looked at me shocked. I looked at him and shrugged.

"YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! BELIEVE IT! THAT"S RIGHT!" Naruto shouted.

"The three of you are one? That's your excuse?"

Silence…

"You passed."
