KIWIBOY! I'm ready for my fourth chapter. I also never imagined for people to like my story even if it's only a few, I'm still surprised but happy. I just hope that I'm creative enough so that I can keep people entertained. But let's focus on this.
Secret Revealed
Training Ground 7
Training ground 7, one of the MANY exercise fields in the Leaf Village. All of them may be located somewhere around the Land of Fire but neither is alike. The 7th one which was now owned and used by team 7 consisted of a forest area. There was a huge clearing that was about 1 to 2 miles in diameter until you came upon more trees. There were three logs in at the far right of the field, which was next to a tree that could give off some really good shade and a river behind the tree. Now let's get back to the in training ninja.
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were at the training ground waiting for what there one-eyed sensei had to teach them and I mean serious waiting. The thing is Sasuke and Sakura hadn't eaten break feast and arrived on time like what they were told to do. (Poor clueless idiots) Naruto on the other hand had arrived around 7:12 and received a mild scolding from Sakura. It ended when he told her that sense Kakashi wasn't there it didn't matter. He didn't tell them that he has ate something; didn't want to get yelled at about breaking the rules or something. So after that they all waited and waited and waited.
TG 10:00 A.M
"THIS IS REDICULOUS, WHERE THE HELL IS HE?" (You should automatically know who had screamed that)
It was 2 hours till noon and Kakashi still had not arrived. Team 7were doing their own thing while they waited for him to show. Sakura was screaming about how se was going to give Kakashi a piece of her mind when he gets here. Sauske was wondering how much longer it was going to take until their new sensei came, and was hoping for Sakura to shut up. Naruto was just lying in the tree that was next to the logs, minding his own business. Trying to enjoy the quiet was incredibly hard with someone like Sakura on your team. She doesn't always yell for any reason: only when she gets annoyed or upset and that's been happening really frequently now.
The gennin jumped a bit at the sound of a burst of smoke. They stopped what they were doing and approached it knowing who it was. Out came Kakashi with his left hand raised as if trying to say 'hi' with his right eye closed.
"Sorry that I'm late guys. See I had to go down to the shelter and help the elderly. Then I had to save a cat from a tree." Kakashi said in a relaxed tone.
The kids looked at him knowing what he said was a lie.
'Help the elderly? Save a cat? What kind of excuses are those? He could have at least said that the old man needed him for some important business. That would have at least made his story more believable.' – Naruto
'This guy is a joke. When is he going to hurry up and give this test? Once I pass it I'll be a bit closer to defeating HIM.' – Sasuke
"WHAT KIND OF EXCUSE IS THAT? YOU ARE LYING THROUGH YOUR TEETH AND YOU KNOW IT!" – Sakura
Kakashi chuckled a bit then walked over to the logs that were embedded in the ground. "Okay now it's time to get started." Kakashi declared. He then reached in his pocket and took out a clock, putting on the middle log. Sakura's eye twitched while Naruto and Sasuke sweat dropped.
"You mean to tell me that you had a clock on you this whole time and you're still late? How much more unreasonable can you get?" Sakura growled out causing the guys to take a step away from her.
"I can be as unreasonable as I want. Here's an example I made a snowman in the summertime." That statement caused Sasuke to lose balance and Naruto and Sakura to face plant.
"UNREASONABLE? THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!" Naruto exclaimed with a nod from his team. Kakashi then got serious, "Now it's time to start the test."
Kakashi then reached for his left side and took out two small silver bells that were each attached on a string.
"Here are the rules for my test. You three must be able to take these bells away from me before noon of you won't be able to eat lunch. If one of you are unable to get one then you'll be tied to one of those logs, and watch me eat my lunch."
Sakura and Sasuke realized why they were not supposed to eat lunch. Who doesn't get a bell will have to watch the other's eat and will practically be starved to death. They didn't realize how hungry they were until after Kakashi explained what they had to do. Their stomach's started to lightly rumble.
'Wow that was a close call. Now I understand why he said we shouldn't eat. Not because we'll puke, but to see how long we'll last when the test starts until our hunger gets the better of us. Hey Kyuubi are you there?'
'I'm always here Kit. Anyways what did you want to talk to me about?'
'Just wanted to say thank you: for the advice.'
'Your welcome kit: now pay attention. The one eyed man has something to say.'
Naruto mentally chuckled at the nickname Kyuubi picked out for the jounin then went back to listening.
"Also the one that doesn't get a bell is going to automatically get sent back to the academy."
"WHAT?" They all shouted then Sakura decided to step up a bit.
"But sensei how is that even remotely fair? You only have two bells."
"So that means no matter what any of you do one of you are going to be held back." Kakashi then clipped the bells back around his waist on the left hand side.
Sakura gulped a bit, Naruto got determined, and Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
"One more thing if you don't come with the intent to kill me, then you're never going to be able to get a bell. Now start."
At that the three genin jumped from Kakashi and tried to find the best places in the forest to conceal them selves in. Kakashi then looked around a bit and started to think.
'Well they can hide well I'll give them that. The question is what are they going to try and pull? The least I can worry about is Sakura but what of Naruto and Sasuke?' Kakashi wondered.
Naruto was in a tree that was behind Kakashi in a blind spot. He made sure to hide in the left hand side because Kakashi's left eye was covered. He did not want to be spotted in Kakashi's perennial vision. (Is it perennial or another word that sounds like that?) He also made sure that he was a good distance away from his teammates.
"It's time to put my plan into action. I wonder how Kakashi-sensei is going to react to this." Naruto then put his fingers in a cross sign and got ready to initialize his first tactic.
Kakashi was still gazing around waiting for his new students to make the first move, wondering when and how they will strike. His thoughts were interrupted when he herd a battle cry coming from the side of him. He turned to his left and saw Naruto charge at him with a kunai in hand.
"What is Naruto doing? He can't expect to be able to take a jounin head on." Sakura said. 'The dead last really wants to make a fool of him self. I don't care if he thinks he can do it or not, I am going to get a bell. There's no way in hell I'm going back to the academy.' Sasuke thought as he and Sakura watched Naruto charge at the silver haired man.
Kakashi sweat dropped at what he was seeing. Naruto was charging like a mad bull and was getting ready to ram. Kakashi sighed and was getting ready to take out his'Icha Icha Paradise' book to read. Naruto then through the kunai into the air which made everybody look at him with a questionable look. Kakashi eyed the kunai for a second while it kept traveling up then looked at Naruto.
'What's he planning on doing?' Kakashi waved it off then continued to read on where he left off.
Naruto then jumped at Kakashi to punch him only for him fist to get blocked. When Naruto landed on the ground he did a sweep kick hoping to trip Kakashi but he jumped away by a few feet. "Ninja Arts 101, the first lesson is Taijutsu." Kakashi said. Naruto charged one more time. He jumped till his lower body was leveled with Kakashi's upper then tried for a spin kick. Kakashi thought it was time to end this little game and ducked Naruto's kick. Kakashi then brought himself up and gave Naruto a punch to Naruto's midsection. The blond landed on the ground on his knees holding his stomach while arched over. Kakashi gave a sigh.
"See Naruto that's what happens when you rush in a fight without a plan. If I were a real enemy you would be dead right now." Kakashi lectured but was then surprised to hear Naruto chuckling. Naruto then lifted his head and looked at Kakashi, who started to think that he was weird.
"Thanks for the advice but while you were playing with me boss was busy charging up. I hope that you have fun digging yourself out of a crater."
Kakashi was wondering what Naruto was talking about and asked "What boss Naruto and what do you mean "charging up"?" Kakashi asked. Sasuke and Sakura were wondering to. Then before their eyes Naruto erupted in a puff of smoke, shocking them.
"A shadow clone, but wheres…"
Kakashi couldn't finish because he herd a loud noise that closely resembled thunder. He looked around wondering where that noise was coming from until he finally looked up, and went bug eyed at what he saw. There was Naruto, the real Naruto descending from the sky. But that not what surprised him, oh no, what it was, was that Naruto was completely covered in electricity with that strange weapon in his hand about to make a downward slash. The three could not believe what they were seeing and watched as Naruto got closer to landing on Kakashi, who knew that he would be in serious pain if a slam like that made contact. So he pumped chakra into his legs and jumped back. While he was still in the air Naruto made contact with the ground and made a crater while sending a shockwave in every direction. It felt like he shook the whole planet if you were still on the ground at that time (Sasuke and Sakura who had to hold on to something to avoid falling over.) When the shaking ceased Naruto jumped out of the hole that he made and dusted himself off observing the damage that he did. The logs were ripped out of the ground and were lying on the ground in random places. He damaged the tree a bit and reformed the ground around him, making big chunks slant upwards. Then he looked at Kakashi and said "Whoa, I missed."
Kakashi and Sakura were looking at Naruto like they had seen a ghost while Sasuke had an angry feeling toward him.
'What the hell was that just now? He looked like some sort of human bomb. How is it that the dead last was able to create this much destruction? That kind of power should belong to me.' Sasuke thought
'What in heavens name was that? Was it some sort of lightning style jutsu? I never would have imagined that he had a lightning affinity. I better be more careful, there's no telling what else Naruto could have up his sleeve. (Sigh) And I wanted to finish this chapter to, but I guess that will have to wait.' Kakashi thought before he got into a battle stance, same with Naruto.
Naruto then charged up his Amp and had it at the ready. The 2 were left at a stale mate. Kakashi used this time to start a conversation.
"Hey Naruto."
"Hm what is it Kakashi-sensei?"
"Just now what was that? I've never seen a jutsu like that before?"
Naruto realized what he was talking about and decided to have some fun with his sensei. Naruto played along and responded like his abilities were just jutsu.
"It's called Lightning Style: Thunder Drop. I manipulate my chakra into lightning and spread it through my whole body. While dropping from a high altitude I release the energy as I get super charged with it. Then release it all at once the moment I make contact with the surface. It's pretty handy for clearing out groups of people." Naruto informed.
I get now. So that kunai your shadow clone threw was you transformed. I guess you are a bit good at planning."
"Thanks sensei" Kakashi then looked at the weapon Naruto was holding.
"Do you mind telling me what that weapon is?"
"It's called 'The Amp,' it's a gift that I got from a friend."
I take it that you have more tricks up your sleeve." Kakashi asked hoping to get a bit more information out of the boy. Naruto only chuckled "Why don't you take me on and see for yourself sensei."
With that Naruto charged at Kakashi. When Naruto was in striking distance he did a right hand downward diagonal sweep to his one eyed sensei who dodged the opposite way. Naruto then performed the same action but with the opposite side to have the same results. Kakashi knew that metal conducts with electricity so he couldn't pull out a kunai to defend himself. Naruto then used that momentum to perform a sideways front flip and managed to strike Kakashi down the middle of his head. Kakashi had lightning coursing through his body until he erupted in a puff of smoke. Naruto looked down and saw a log in his teacher's place. Naruto then used radar sense to find Kakashi and sensed him fleeing through the forest.
"Well it seems that he's going to play smart and try to recuperate. I guess I can take a break my self to plan out my next move. But I better make sure that I don't lose him."
Naruto then powered his Amp down and placed it in the loop on his back. Then started to walk towards Kakashi's location who was jumping through the tress away from Naruto. Sauske saw this and started to follow Kakashi in his direction.
'It's time to show sensei what an Uchiha can do.'
Sakura was dazed by the performance Naruto had displayed that she turned to find Sasuke only for him to be half a mile away from her. "SASUKE WAIT UP!" Sakura then started to run in his direction.
With Kakashi
Kakashi had stomped jumping through the trees and looked around. He did not feel any presences around him. He felt two coming in his direction, and one that seemed to wonder around. He made a shadow clone and sent it to stay on the land while he went through the forest, both going to the same place. Kakashi then took out his book and started to read it while walking towards the wondering presence.
'Hm lets see, Sasuke is the closest one that coming towards me. He probably thinks he can take me himself. Naruto is tailing him but is going much, much slower. Must be planning about what his next move is going to be. I'm both eager and a bit frightened about what he's going to do next. Sakura is just following Sasuke or trying to follow by the looks of this. She has the smarts but none of the experience on the field. If she keeps up this fan girl attitude then she'll probably be one of the weakest kunoichi in the Leaf Village.'
Kakashi kept walking until he came upon Sakura that was looking through some bushes. She was staring at the clone Kakashi made trying to be as quiet as she could be. 'What's he doing? He's just standing there.'She thought.
"Hey, Sakura." Sakura jumped in surprise when she heard somebody whisper her name behind her. She slowly turned to she her sensei crouched and 2 feet from where she was sitting. Then out of fear she closed her eyes and let of a scream. When she opened her eyes Kakashi had disappeared. Before she knew it leaves had started to swirl around her. Sakura immediately felt dizzy, she could no longer think. She wasn't even thinking about anything until the leaves receded.
She then came too and started to frantically look around.
"What's going on? I could have sworn that I was supposed to be doing something."
"Sakura." Sakura heard a weak cry behind her yet she knew who that voice belonged to. She twirled around and shouted "SAUSKE". But her happiness soon turned to horror when she saw Sasuke covered in blood with kunai sticking out of him.
"Sakura help me. Please help me I won't be able to hold out for much longer." Sasuke struggled to say.
Sakura instead looked like she was about to break into pieces from horror and sadness. 'OH NO! WHAT DID HE DO TO MY SASUKE?' Sakura thought. She then threw her arms up in the air and let out a blood curdling scream that was twice as loud as the last and fainted backward.
'Sasuke' Then disappeared and faded out of existence, while Kakashi jumped from a tree and landed in front of the downed Sakura.
"The second lesson of Ninja Arts 101: Genjutsu. Her file said hat she was a genjutsu type but that was too easy. We'll I better head back to the clearing, no doubt Sasuke is itching for a fight. I also want to see what Naruto has up his sleeves."
Kakashi then disappeared in a puff of smoke and arrived at the second clearing, waiting for his two other students.
Back at the second clearing Sasuke had finally arrived and was looking around foe Kakashi. "Hey don't get to hasty now. I think it's time for you to show me what you can do. Isn't that right 'my Sasuke'? Kakashi added a bit of a Sakura touch to that last part that went unnoticed by Sasuke. He scowled and said "We'll I should at least let you know I'm not like Sakura or Naruto."
"So you're saying that you could do something similar to what Naruto had done?"
Sasuke chuckled a bit "I don't know what the dead last had done but if that was his biggest trump card then there's no point in trying to expect anymore from him. You really should watch out for me and you should probably put that silly book away if you don't want it to get destroyed." Sasuke boasted confidently.
Kakashi wondered for a bit then decided to call him on his bluff. "Fine you better show me something interesting. I'm in the middle of my favorite part." Kakashi then put his book away standing at a guard.
Sasuke smirked "Oh I can assure you, you won't be disappointed." Sasuke then started to go through hand signs as he was finishing he started talking "Lets see the dead last do this. 'Horse', 'Tiger' "FIRE STYLE: FIRE BALL JUTSU."
Kakashi's eye widened. 'What? Gennin can't do fire jutsu, takes too much chakra. There's no way.'Kakashi thought as he took a stance just to be on the safe side. Sasuke then brought up his right hand, cupped his fingers around his mouth and spat an average sized fire ball at kakashi, who was engulfed in the flame. Sasuke kept this up for a few more seconds till he stopped.
Sasuke then looked at the burnt ground and crater that he made and turning his head a bit in every direction looking for Kakashi who seemed to have disappeared.
"Where did you go?" Sasuke wondered. Then he felt a small rumbling underneath him as something erupted from the ground, to grasp his ankle. Then Sasuke heard Kakashi scream "EARTH STYLE: HEAD HUNTER JUTSU". Sasuke managed a yell until he was forcefully pulled into the dirt with only his head showing and Kakashi crouched over him with an eye smile.
"Your right Naruto and Sakura are nothing like you. They don't even look as half as ridiculous." At this Sasuke started to growl and scream "GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Kakashi stood up and pulled his book back out and started to read, while walking away.
"Come find me once you have a good enough plan and you better hurry up. It's almost noon." Kakashi then disappeared in the forest, only blankly looking like a shadow. Unknowing to both of them Naruto was in a tree watching the entire event unfold.
'This is really challenging. How are we supposed to get a bell from him…. Now that I think about it separate attacks couldn't quite cut it. Me and Sasuke came close but not close enough. Maybe if we all team up on him we might be able to pass in time.' Naruto then jumped out of a tree and landed in front of Sasuke.
"Naruto, what are you doing here?"
"Look I know that you won't accept this easily but we need to work together if we want to pass." Naruto said locking eyes with Sasuke.
"Me help you? Thanks but no thanks I can get a bell myself."
Naruto sighed "Sasuke I don't have time to be arguing with you. I know that you have skill but do you really think that you a gennin would be able to get the drop on a jounin, especially one that as been in an actual life or death battle? The best option that we have is for the three of us to work together."
Sasuke then pondered his thoughts for a moment. Naruto did have a good point, and it was the best chance that they had. Sasuke sighed in defeat "Fine, get me out of here so we can find Sakura."
Naruto nodded then made four shadow clones. They all circled Sasuke and started to dig him out. When his body was fully pulled from the pavement then two left to find Sakura and form a plan.
Again Back With Kakashi
Kakashi was at the first clearing that had the three logs, the damaged tree and a crater with the terrain around it smashed. He placed been placed the logs in their respective holes in the ground and put the clock that was blown of back on. Still reading his small orange book and waiting for his students. He heard some rumbling in the tress at the far front of him and briefly looked up from his story.
'It seems their ready to try one last time. Now is it going to be Naruto or Sasuke? Or did they figure out the right way?'
Kakashi's thoughts were interrupted when two kunai were thrown at him. He jumped to the side and watched as they impaled the tree that he was just leaning against. Naruto then came running out with another kunai in his hand and throwing it up in the air. Kakashi looked up and knew what was coming
"There's no way I'm falling for that again"
Kakashi said he tried to jump back but then Sakura came running at Kakashi as well holding three shuriken. She then threw one at Kakashi who jumped to the left. Sakura acted quickly and threw one to where their sensei was traveling only for him to jump to the right. Sakura and Naruto smirked knowing that he would do that and threw the last shuriken. Kakashi saw this shuriken as well but then jumped to the center.
'What are they trying to do he wondered 'surely they didn't think that would work.'
But to his surprise he saw that the shuriken were covered in smoke and reveled to be Naruto clones. Kakashi looked at both of his sides and behind him wondering what they were going to do. Much to his and Sakura's surprise all of the clones had lightning covering their arms. They each lifted a hand towards Kakashi who was wondering what Naruto was going to do next.
'Let's see how he takes a barrage of pincer bolts.'All of the Naruto's thought.
The clones then started to build up their energy and shot a bolt that was five times the size of a regular one. 'What in the hell?' The Naruto's thought. He realized that must have been one of the new powers that he might have acquired. He would talk to Cole about it later.
The over sized bolts neared Kakashi who didn't see any way too escape. So he took the only other escape route that he had. He pumped a quarter of his chakra into his legs and made a big leap straight up. He looked down and saw the four huge balls (No homo) of lightning collide with each other making a big explosion.
'Okay that thunder drop thing was weird enough but now Naruto can just shoot of lightning like it's nothing? What else can he do fly?'
As he dropped to earth Kakashi was so lost in thought that he forgot about the clone that was above him. He was painfully reminded when an axe kick was delivered to his back sending him to the ground where the tree clones were. As he made an impact the four clones jumped on him halting his movement.
Sasuke then came from behind the tree and ran over to Naruto who made another clone. They both told Sakura to get back and find some cover. Kakashi looked on thankful that his eyes were not covered to see what the two were doing. Naruto was on the left, Sasuke was on the right and Naruto's clone was in the middle going through a few hand signs. When he was done he called out "FIRE STYLE: BURNING ASH".
Then clone then spat some dark smoke at the clones and the trapped Kakashi whose vision was now a bit blurred. Through his point of view he could only see faint outlines of his two students. The clone must have dispelled.
From Naruto's point of view Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other before nodding. They both looked at the giant pile of ash there teacher was in before they both started going through the same hand signs. "FIRE STYLE: FIRE BALL JUTSU" they both shouted. Kakashi was then immediately surprised by two things.
1) Naruto can also perform the fire ball jutsu
2) They plan to send his ass sky high with this tactic
The burning ash jutsu is really a massive ton of gunpowder. When you mix gunpowder with fire… well you know what that means. The fire got closer and closer to the dark puff of smoke until finally
BIG ASS EXPLOSION THAT WOULD MAKE DEIDARA A HAPPY MAN
(That's the best way to describe how that went)
The blast was so huge that it had shaken most of the leaves of the tree that was about a half a yard away from them. The trees behind them lost some leaves but were also leaning a bit, like before Sakura had to hold on to something, so she did not fall over. When the shaking stopped Sakura ran over to the two boys, Sasuke was panting a bit from using the fire ball jutsu twice, while Naruto was breathing just a bit. After 10 seconds the smoke had finally cleared and while they expected to see a crispy Kakashi, they saw only a burning log.
The gennin then turned around when they heard clapping behind them. Turning around they saw Kakashi with a few burns marks on his cloths walk towards them.
"Well it seems that you guys really aren't boring. I actually had to try a little for that last stunt you all pulled."
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were about to attack again until they heard the sound of an alarm bell going off. The four of them looked at the clock and saw that it was noon and not one of them had received a single bell.
Kakashi walked over to the clock that was standing on the center log that had somehow miraculously survived that explosion and turned it off. He then motion for the three of them to come over to him, they hesitated at first but made their way over.
"Well its noon and none of you had received a single bell. I should send you all back to the academy right now."
Naruto and Sasuke flinched while Sakura was on the verge of tears. They were waiting for there sensei to dish out some form of punishment, to say 'you fail' or 'get out of my sight'. But he said something that made the gennin want to hear him repeat it.
"You all pass." Kakashi said with a sincere voice and an eye smile.
The three gennin eyes widened and Naruto had spoken up.
"Wait can you say that again?" Naruto asked not believing his ears
"I said that you all pass"
Sakura then spoke up "But how, none of us had gotten a single bell. You said whoever doesn't get one is to go back to the academy."
Kakashi then looked at his students and started to explain. "Your right I did say that who ever doesn't get a bell was to be sent back to the academy, but that was only to pshyc to out. The bells never really mattered at all, the real test was to try to work as an actual team and try to force me into a corner. You were a bit shaky at first but that last move you all pulled was something that I never would have imagined, Congratulations to you team 7.
Naruto and Sakura smiled brightly while Sasuke smirked. They were finally done with the academy and were full fledge ninja and they were ready for real missions.
"Now if you excuse me I must be off but let me tell you all this. Those that break the rules are trash, the three of them flinched at this "but those that abandon their comrades are even worse than trash. Meet me back here tomorrow at 8:00 so that we can start our first mission as a team"
Kakashi then disappeared in a puff of smoke while the three ninjas (love that movie) had left for home to. To go get ready for an actual mission and to act as official Hidden Leaf Ninja, they couldn't be any prouder.
