Chapter 4- Survival test: Pass or Fail?
Inside the academy…
''He's late…'' Naruko sighed. She got to the door and looked out, but nobody was there. She closed the door and sighed again. Sakura and Sasuke just looked at her.
''Naruko, stay still!'' Sakura looked annoyed at her. Naruko just sweat dropped at her antics and walked over to them.
"Why's it that only our squad's sensei is late? The other squads have gone off somewhere with their new sensei's, and Iruka-nii also left.'' She whined.
'Iruka-nii?' Sasuke thought and narrowed his eyes.
''Don't look at me!'' Sakura screeched.
'I haven't looked at you!' Naruko sighed again. 'It's soooooo boring!' Then Naruko suddenly got an idea. Her eyes twinkled mischievously. She took out a fishing line and made a fall trap by the door.
"Naruko what are you doing?'' Sakura looked at her curiously.
''It'll be his fault for being late!'' Naruko had a big grin on her face.
''Man! You're asking for it!'' Sakura scolded her, but her inner ego cheered. 'I like stuff like that!'
Sasuke just hnned. 'A Jounin wouldn't get caught in such a weak booby trap.'
Suddenly a hand appeared at the door. All the attention was directed to the door. A Jounin with silver, gravity defying hair and a face mask appeared. Just then, he stumbled over the fishing line and fell to the ground. Naruko just sweat dropped.
''I'm sorry, sir!'' Sakura helped him up, while her inner self celebrated.
Sasuke just blinked confused. 'Get real, is he really a jounin?'
Then Naruko noticed something. 'Silver, gravity defying hair… where have I seen that before?' The scales fell from her eyes. ''Wolf?'' She looked at him emotionally.
Kakashi eye smiled. ''Yes, but my real name is Hatake Kakashi.''
'Wolf?' The other two thought confused. Just then Naruko crushed Kakashi in a big hug. He didn't expect that reaction from Naruko and so they landed on the ground, again. Naruko's breasts were pressed in his face.
'Holy Shit!' Kakashi blushed, but it was hidden behind his mask. ''Eh, Naruko, can you please get off me?'' He gently stroked her hair. Sasuke and Sakura were beyond surprised.
''Oh, sorry!'' Naruko blushed and stood up. ''I'm just so happy to see you again!'' She looked at him cheerfully and a true smile lit her face.
'Kawaii!' Kakashi's blush deepened.
'What the fuck is going on here?!' Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
''Come to the rooftop in 5 minutes.'' Kakashi said to Sasuke and Sakura. ''See you in a bit!'' Kakashi eye smiled at Naruko and vanished. Naruko beamed over with happiness.
The three began to walk to the rooftop.
''Say, Naruko, do you know Kakashi-sensei?'' Sakura looked at her curiously.
''Yeah, and who is wolf?'' Sasuke asked. The girls looked at him surprised. Sasuke coughed awkwardly.
Naruko sighed. ''Okay, I will tell you, but that will not be a happy story…'' She looked at the wall a bit depressed. The other two gulped. ''Okay, where to start? So, you probably know I'm an orphan. As you can tell, if an orphaned little girl lives alone and is hated by a whole village, what could happen to her?'' She looked at the two with sadness in her eyes.
'Don't tell me…' They both can't believe their thoughts. Sakura's eyes watered a bit and Sasuke's eyes hardened.
''Yeah, you are right! As a little child, I was raped and tortured by the villagers.'' She said that without any emotions. Sakura and Sasuke gaped shocked at her. ''So Hokage-jiji set Anbu guards on me, to my protection. But even some in the anbu didn't like me because of a cause that I can't tell you now. One night, I was looking for groceries because someone broke in my house and stole all of them. I didn't notice that I was in a dark, little alleyway, nor noticed I that my anbu guards ended their shift, before it was over. ''
Sasuke gritted his teeth together. 'I never expected that the cheerful blonde has gone through something like that!'
Sakura began to cry and Naruko just looked sadly at her.
''At the very time, I was raped by two drunken villagers. They called me demon whore and spat on me… At that time, the anbu guards, who should take the next shift, appeared. As they didn't find the other anbu's, they searched for me. As they saw I was currently being raped they were beyond enraged.'' A small smile lit her face. '' They killed the two men and brought me in the hospital. After that, the two of them appeared in the Hokage office and told Hokage-jiji what happened. They suggested that the two will be my anbu guards till I'm old enough to enroll the academy. They became my friends. Their anbu code names were wolf and crow.'' She grinned.
''And wolf was Kakashi…'' Sasuke concluded.
''Yeah, but I never knew their names, nor how they looked like. I've only seen wolf's hair once, that's why I could identify him.''
Sasuke was still flabbergasted from the story.
Sakura hugged Naruko bone crushing. ''I'm so sorry!''
''I-I'ts okay, b-b-but I-I ne-eed t-to b-breathe…'' Naruko choked out.
''Oh, sorry'' Sakura let go of her and they continued to walk to the rooftop in silence, everyone hanging on their own thoughts.
On the rooftop…
Kakashi waited for his newly genin team. He was still emotional affected by his reunion with Naru. 'I have to surpass these feelings!' Then Sasuke, Sakura and Naruko appeared quietly. 'What's wrong with them? Did Naruko tell them…' He narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly Naruko snapped out of her trace. ''Hello, Kakashi-sensei!'' That snapped the other two out of their traces and they sat down across from Kakashi.
''Let's see.'' Kakashi looked at them. ''First off, let me have your guys introduce yourselves.''
''Introduce ourselves…What should we say?'' Sakura looked confused at the two next to her.
Kakashi sighed. ''Your likes, dislikes, your dreams for the future, hobbies, things like that!''
''Hey, before that, please tell us about yourself.'' Naruko had a foxy grin on her face.
''Me? My name's Hatake Kakashi. I don't feel like telling you guys about my likes and dislikes. I've never really thought about my future dream…As for my hobbies, well, I have lots of hobbies.'' He eyesmiled.
Naruko sweat dropped. ''So….'' She looked at the others with a foxy grin. ''His name you now already. He likes dogs and these perverted Icha, Icha books. He dislikes liars, someone with a green spandex suit and big eyebrows, people who betrayed their villages and rapists. His future dream is a better world for everyone. His hobbies are training, playing with his 8 dogs and reading Icha, Icha books. Yeah, that's all I know, I think.'' Sasuke and Sakura looked at her flabbergasted.
Kakashi just sighed. ''Okay, enough about me, let's start with you, blondie.''
She looked at him with a pout. 'He knows I hate that nickname!' ''Fine, my name's Uzumaki Naruko. I like instant ramen, foxes, dogs, crows and the ramen from Ichiraku's. What I dislike are the three minutes, after pouring the hot water in the instant ramen, I have to wait till they are finished.''
They all sweat dropped at that.
''But what I dislike the most are rapists, traitors and snakes. My hobbies are eating and comparing ramen, play with Kakashi's dogs, sewing clothes and training, I guess. Oh and my future dream…is to surpass the Hokage! And so, I'm going to get the entire village to acknowledge my existence!" She jumped up in excitement.
'So, you have still the same dream…' Kakashi smiled happily. "Okay next, your turn, pinkie.''
''I'm Haruno Sakura. What I like…I-I mean WHO I like is…'' She looked at Sasuke and blushed. ''And my hobby is, I mean…'' She looked at Sasuke again. Naruko was getting annoyed. ''My future dream is…'' She looked at Sasuke and squealed.
Naruko and Kakashi sweat dropped. 'Great, a fangirl!' Kakashi's eyebrow twitched a bit. ''And? What about your dislikes?''
''NARUKO!'' She glared at Naruko angrily. 'She lied about her past to get Sasuke-kun to like her.'
Kakashi looked confused and Naruko sweat dropped. 'Girls at her age are probably more interested in love than the Ninja Arts. But Naruko isn't so… Probably she is just a fangirl…' Kakashi sighed again. "And lastly, you, broody boy.''
''My name's… Uchiha Sasuke. I have lots of dislikes and no likes in particular.'' Sasuke looked seriously.
''Oh...'' Sakura looked disappointed.
''And…I don't feel like summing up my ambition just as a dream, but I do have an ambition. The ambition to restore my clan and without fail…to kill a certain man.'' He said with an ice-cold voice.
All looked at him flabbergasted. Naruko sighed. 'I hate broody atmospheres!
'Sure enough, Sasuke-kun is so cool!' Sakura squealed with a blush on her face.
'I KNEW it…' Kakashi looked at Sasuke seriously. "Good! The three of you are very distinctive and interesting!'' Naruko beamed at that with pure happiness. 'Kawaii!' Kakashi blushed. 'Fuck! Stop it!' ''We'll have a mission tomorrow!''
''Yes sir! What kind of mission?" Naruko grinned cheerfully.
''First, we'll do what we can do with just four people.''
''What is it?'' Naruko jumped up and down in excitement.
'Kawaii!' Kakashi's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. 'FUCKING HELL STOP THINKING LIKE THAT!' "A survival exercise.'' He had a mischievous glint in his eye.
Naruko stopped jumping and sat down confused. ''Survival exercise?''
''Why are we doing an exercise even though this is supposed to be a mission?" Sakura looked at him confused and annoyed. "We've had more than our share of exercises in the academy!''
''This is no simple exercise."
''Then…then what kind of exercise is it?'' Naruko looked confused and innocently as she tilted her head. Kakashi's heart melted. He laughed evilly to get his show going. Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
''Hey! What's so funny sensei?'' Sakura grumbled annoyed.
''Uh, well, if I tell you, I know you'll grow disenchanted.'' He laughed evilly.
''What?'' Naruko had a frown on her cute face.
''Of the twenty-seven graduates, only nine will be recognized as junior ninjas. The remaining eighteen will be sent back to the Academy. In other words, this exercise is an extremely difficult test with a failure rate of 66% or higher.'' Kakashi said with a dark voice. They all looked shocked.
Naruko sweat dropped. 'Sadist!' She frowned again.
''See, see! You got disenchanted!'' He eyesmiled.
Naruko sighed. ''That's crazy! To have suffered that much!'' She mumbled quietly to herself. ''Then what was the graduation test for?''
''Oh, that. It was just to select those who have the potential of becoming genin.'' Kakashi shrugged casually.
Naruko sighed. 'All that for nothing!' A depressed cloud hang above her head.
"Well, that's the way it is. I'll be determining whether you pass or fail.'' Kakashi tried to cheer Naruko up.
'Oh? Is that so?' A plan formed inside her head. A foxy smile appeared on her face and a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
'That's not good!' Kakashi began to sweat. He could recognize this look everywhere.
Suddenly Naruko jumped up. ''Transform!'' With a poof of smoke, she was gone and, in her place stood a naked, older Naruko with orange cat ears and an orange cat tail. ''My new technique: Oiroke no Jutsu: Neko version!'' She licked her lips seductively. Kakashi's and Sasuke's eyes widened. A blush crept on their faces.
'HOLY SHIT!' Kakashi thought as she walked towards him. His hands itched to touch her body.
Suddenly she was behind him and moaned. ''Please, Kakashi-sensei, let us pass, then you can have more of me!'' That was too much for the poor man as he passed out. Naruko transformed back and sweat dropped.
''WHAT WAS THAT FOR?'' Sakura stormed enraged towards her as Sasuke tried to calm his breathing and heart down. She punched her on her head.
''Ow, you don't have to punch me!'' Naruko pouted. ''I only tried to let him pass us, so we don't have to do this exercise.''
''Oh…'' Both, Sakura and Sasuke said.
''Sorry, that I punched you…'' Sakura looked at her embarrassed.
''It's fine, but we have to wake Kakashi-sensei up.'' She had a small smile on her lips as she looked at her sensei. 'I know you are perverted, Kakashi-sensei!'
5 minutes later…
Kakashi sighed. ''Bring your complete set of Ninja tools! We meet at five in the morning.''
'No way I'm going to be dropped now! I've got to have my strength recognized for real.' Naruko looked determined.
'I'll be separated from Sasuke-kun if I fail this test! This is an exercise of love!' Sakura blushed and smiled determined. Sasuke just clenched his hands together.
''Okay, you are dismissed. Oh…and you'd better skip breakfast. You'll throw up.'' Kakashi disappeared.
Naruko sweat dropped. 'Really good show Kashi-sensei! There's no way I skip breakfast after that show!'
The next day at training ground seven…
Naruko, Sasuke and Sakura all appeared at 5 o'clock there.
''Ohayo…'' Sakura greeted them tiredly. Naruko just gave some noises from her. She looked like she is asleep while walking. Sasuke just looked like always.
The time flies by and now it's around 10:00. Sakura and Sasuke both stood and looked for their sensei, while Naruko laid on the ground asleep.
Then Kakashi appeared. ''Yo, folks. Ohayo!'' He eyesmiled.
''YOU'RE LATE!'' Sakura screeched enraged.
''Just five more minutes…" Naruko mumbled, still asleep. Kakashi sweat dropped and woke Naruko.
She tiredly rubbed her eyes, Kakashi squealed inwardly. 'Kawaii!' He sighed. ''Well, I'm late because a black cat crossed my path, you see.''
''Liar!'' Naruko looked at him with a pout.
''Ahem! Oh, well… '' Kakashi coughed slightly. He put an alarm clock on a stump. ''Okay, it's set for 12:00! Today's assignment is to take these bells away from me by noon.'' Kakashi raised two little bells. ''Those who can't do it won't get lunch!'' An evil smirk appeared on his masked face. ''They'll be tied to that stump and I'll eat my lunch before your very eyes.''
'So that was the point in not eating breakfast!' Sasuke looked annoyed at him, because he couldn't figure that out.
'I knew something was wrong, I'm happy I ate something!' Naruko grinned happily.
''But, hold on. Why are there only two bells?'' Sakura pointed confused at the bells.
Kakashi eye smiled. ''There are only two, so at the very least, one will have to go to the logs. That person will be disqualified for failing the mission…and will return to the academy.''
'Sadist!' Naruko crossed her arms and pouted.
''It might be one person at the very least, or it could be all three of you. You can use your shuriken. You won't be able to take the bells unless you come with the intent to kill me.''
'But I don't want to kill you!' Naruko's pout deepened.
''But that's dangerous, sensei!'' Sakura looked scolding at him. Naruko sighed.
"In this world, those who aren't skilled enough tend to complain more. Well, just ignore the loser… Begin when I give the 'ready-go' signal.'' Kakashi tried to explain the seriousness of that to her.
'Loser…Did he mean me with loser…' Naruko hated that word and so a tick mark appeared on her head. 'Loser, loser, loser, loser, loser…' Sounded it inside her head. Now she was pissed. Her hair left her pigtails and her aura became deadly. ''Who is a loser?!'' Naruko's pissed voice sounded in fury.
'Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck!' Kakashi began to sweat. Sasuke and Sakura begged away from her. ''I-I di-didn't me-mean y-you b-by t-that, N-Naru.'' He hoped that would calm her down.
''Oh?'' She looked at him, now completely normal. ''I'm sorry!'' She rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment and blushed.
Kakashi just sweat dropped. ''But that's fine!'', he joked, ''at least you came at me with the intent to kill me.'' Naruko sighed.
''We're going to start!'' Kakashi observed them seriously. ''Ready…start!'' They all jumped away to hide in the bushes.
Inside the Academy…
Iruka and the Hokage sat on a table and drank tea. ''What do you want to know?'' The Sandaime looked questioning at him. ''I didn't think I came here just to drink tea.''
''Yes, the jounin in Naruko and company's Team Seven…What kind of teacher is he? Is he strict?'' Iruka looked concerned.
The Sandaime's eyes twinkled in amusement. ''You mean Kakashi? Does he concern you?"
''I heard a rumor that concerns me…''
The Sandaime put out a book and laid it on the table.
''What's this?'' Iruka looked at it curiously.
''It's a pass-fail list of the junior ninjas Kakashi has been in charge of up until now.''
Irukas eyes widened surprised. He took the book, opened it and read it. Sweat run down his face and he was shocked. ''T-This is…''
Back to Team Seven…
Kakashi stood alone on the training field. ''Fundamentally, a ninja must mask their presence and hide.'' Sasuke and Sakura both are hiding. ''Okay, everyone is hidden pretty well…'' Kakashi noticed satisfied and turned around just to see Naruko standing there. He sweat dropped.
''Alright! Let's face off fair and square.'' She giggled cheerfully.
'Something isn't right…' Kakashi narrowed his eye.
''That goof.'' Sasuke deadpanned and to his luck, Naruko didn't hear him.
''Say, aren't you a bit off kilter, today?'' Kakashi looked at her amused.
She pouted. ''What's off kilter is your stupid hairstyle!''
Kakashi looked at her hurt. 'That hurt, Naru-chan…' He sighed depressed.
Naruko sweat dropped and stormed towards him. Kakashi just stood there and slipped his hands inside his pocket. Naruko stopped in her tracks. 'Is he going to attack me?' She narrowed her eyes.
''I'll teach you the first Shinobi Battle Jutsu…Taijutsu.'' He took out a little orange book with the title Icha, Icha Paradise.
Naruko sweat dropped. 'Perv! Why do you have to read that book in a fight?' She puffed her cheeks out in annoyance.
''What's the matter? Why don't you come at me?''
A tick mark appeared on her head. ''Fine!'' She ran towards him. Kakashi blocked all of her attacks.
Suddenly Kakashi was gone and appeared behind her. ''Ninja shouldn't let the enemy take them from behind multiple times, you fool.'' Kakashi grinned evilly. 'I will have you back for yesterday!'
'The way his hands are positioned…Is the sign of the tiger?!' Sakura looked utterly shocked and began to panic.
Suddenly Naruko grinned. ''You are the fool, Kakashi-sensei.'' She winked at him and disappeared with a poof of smoke.
'Kage Bunshin?' Kakashi turned around. Behind him stood the real Naruko. He just sweat dropped at that.
''Transform!'' She smiled.
''Oh no, I'll not fall for that again!" Kakashi closed his eye. With a poof of smoke, the original Oiroke no jutsu Version of Naruko stood there.
She pouted. 'I will show you that you'll fall for that.' She walked to him. Kakashi just stood there with his eye closed, as suddenly he felt a feminine hand under his shirt.
'What the fuck?' A blush crept on his masked face.
''Kakashi-sensei!'' He heard a moaning voice by his ear. He gulped. Suddenly he felt something press on his masked lips. He opened his eye shocked, just to see an older, naked Naruko kiss him. That was too much for the poor man. He flew back with a big nosebleed. Naruko transformed back and sighed. Sakura and Sasuke just sweat dropped, Sasuke with a blush on his face.
Kakashi fell into the water. Naruko jumped into the water as well, to prevent him from drowning. As Naruko took him out of the water, he suddenly dispelled. 'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu?' She looked around, confused. Her eyes narrowed, and she threw shuriken behind her. The real Kakashi caught the shuriken with two fingers. Both Naruko and Kakashi are soaked with water. Naruko shivered in the wind.
'Fuck. I can't help her, now when we are fighting.' He looked at Naruko with a sad eye.
Back to the Academy…
''Th-This can't be…It's more than just a rumor.'' Iruka looked utterly shocked and his hands shook.
''Kakashi's test might be a bit difficult…but you should believe in Naru-chan.'' The Sandaime sipped from his tea.
''Even so, this means absolutely no one has ever passed!'' Iruka was still shocked.
''That's right…Kakashi has never let someone pass. They have all…been annihilated…''
Back to Team Seven…
Naruko fell to the ground. She breathed heavily, and her cheeks are red.
'Is she ill?' Kakashi looked concerned at her. ''Naru, are you alright?''
''Y-yes, go on with your test…'' She coughed.
''Are you sure?''
''Yes, I'm fit in 5 minutes…''
Kakashi just shrugged, but before he could vanish, Naruko stood up. 'Why did you stand up?' He looked at her worried.
She breathed heavenly and shivered again. ''I'm... not…turning back now!'' She looked up, determined. ''I'm going to become a Ninja!'' The water trembled and suddenly 7 Naruko's appeared from the water. Kakashi looked up surprised. ''Security is your greatest enemy!'' One Naruko shouted and grinned as they flew towards Kakashi. ''Now my favorite technique: Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu''
'Seven Naruko's?' Sakura bit her lip in confusion. 'What? They're not just images? Are they all real? The real thing?' Sasuke just looked surprised.
Kakashi's eye softened. 'It's the forbidden jutsu she used against Mizuki!' He looked proud at her. ''Judging from your ability that Jutsu should have a one-minute limit. You still can't beat me with that skill.'' He got in his fighting stance.
Suddenly someone grabbed him from behind. ''W-What?! Behind me?!'' Kakashi looked surprised. One Naruko has grabbed him from behind, while the others still ran towards him. Sasuke and Sakura looked up in surprise.
''Ninja shouldn't let the enemy take them from behind. Right, Kakashi-sensei?'' The Naruko behind him said cheerfully. He could feel her breasts pushed against his back. A blush crept on is masked face and he gulped. All of the Bunshin's grabbed Kakashi and one jumped up to throw a punch.
'Naruko, not bad!' Sakura smiled.
'So…a diversionary tactic…eh?' Sasuke had a smirk on his face. But just then, Kakashi vanished and Naruko punched herself.
She sighed and dispelled her clones. 'Kawarimi no Jutsu, eh?' She frowned and sighed again.
''The one who got punched…was Naruko?'' Sakura was confused. Naruko pouted.
Suddenly she noticed something shine in the sunlight. She walked towards the object. 'A bell? Did Kakashi-sensei lose one?' She thought naively. As she touched the bell, a trap was triggered, and she was lifted in the air, a rope hanging on her feet. ''Kyaaa!'' She pouted.
'Of course, it's a trap…' Sasuke looked annoyed. 'That Jounin does not lower his guard, even when he's fighting Naruko.'
Naruko just hung there upside down and pouted.
Kakashi came to her and took the bell. ''Gomen, Naruko.'' Kakashi gave her a small smile.
'Now!' Sasuke threw shuriken at Kakashi. 'He finally dropped his guard!' A smirk formed on his face.
Suddenly shuriken sunk into Kakashi's skin. Naruko's eyes widened in horror. ''KAKASHI-SENSEI!'' She trashed around in horror and her eyes watered. 'No…it can't be…' Naruko began to cry as Kakashi dropped to the ground.

Reviews
'nickarn22': Surprised not more have commented on this extremely weak chapter. Really, rape? Noone would happily tell others of their rape experience and this is a terrible way of having 'tradegy'. Disappointed..
Well, I'm sorry to have disappointed you and I thank you for commenting your opinion. Everyone has different opinions, so it's good to hear something else than the usual. Anyway, Naruko in fact did not 'happily' tell others about the rape she had to go through, she kinda did it because they are teammates now. (or at least she thought so) And as newly teammates, she felt like she should tell them about this, because it could become a weakness when an enemy attacks her and she is reminded of that past experience and gets a flashback of some sorts. Because that would make her freeze and probably no able to move, so having her teammates know why and also know it beforehand could save her or their lives. Also, with sharing that with them, she shows them the trust she has in them with revealing something like this to them, and trust builds up better teamwork. Anyway, I hope I could explain to you my thought progress of adding this part, because it was in fact not to add 'tradegy' or something.
