Chapter 4: Enter Team 7
(Cue Song "Support Mec -v1046r9- Slash" from MahoroMATIC OST 2)
It seemed that it was a strange sight as Naruto and I walked into the classroom. Everyone was staring at us, or rather, at Naruto. Two reasons. The first was probably why he was here. And the second and most probably the biggest reason was his complete change of wardrobe. I could see the forming of Naruto's new fan-club as girls were blushing at him. Since he wasn't wearing the loose jumpsuit anymore his quite prominent muscles were showing through the muscle shirt that he now wore. We had met up before walking to the academy together. The walk was pleasant aside from Konohamaru 'ambushing' us.
I scanned all the people that were here. As soon as my eyes looked over Hinata though she blushed and turned the other way. 'Why did she do that? Doesn't she like Naruto?' I thought before looking at Naruto. It seemed he didn't look at Hinata. 'I will solve this mystery later,'
I led the way to sitting next to the window, mentioning for Naruto to go first. The seat near the window was left empty while Naruto and I sat in the other seats. I was closer to the isle. After a few minutes Sasu-bitch entered the classroom. He took one look round, spotted us, and then started walking toward us. "What does duck-butt want with us?" I asked Naruto softly. Naruto just erupted into silent laughter. The 'mighty' Uchiha walked up to us and just stood there.
"What do you want?" I asked in a non-friendly tone. Sasuke's face twitched. "Move," was all he said.
"Why should I do that, Uchiha?" I asked in the same tone. He didn't answer but I noticed his eyes slide to his left before snapping back to me. I looked round him and saw most of the girls looking at him hungrily. "Ahh, I see," I saw his plan, but decided to try to get something out of this. "Uchiha, in order for this to happen, you will owe us a favour,"
"What?" he said, obviously trying to keep his anger in check.
"Each," I stressed. Sasuke said nothing so I turned to Naruto. "Naruto, would you mind moving over a seat? I'll sit in your seat so Sasuke can sit in my seat." Naruto seemed brighter than he looked as he smirked and started rising out of his seat. The sound of a fist slamming the table was heard as I turned back to Sasuke. "Yes Sasuke? Was there something you wanted to say?" I asked mockingly. Sasuke paused before saying in a whisper, "Ok,"
"I'm sorry, what was that?" I smirked at him. Again it seemed that his emotions were going to get the best of him but again he suppressed them. "Ok, I owe you… both," These were all incredibly forced words, but I still smirked.
"It looks like we have a deal. In protecting you againsed the undefeatable, you owe us both a favour," I smiled as I moved out of the way, Naruto doing the same. Sasuke shuffled rather quickly to the seat that costed him two favours. Naruto and I smirked at each other, slapping high-fives. It was at that moment that the two top Sasuke worshipers burst through the door, huffing and puffing. Ino looked at her rival. "I win again, Sakura."
"What are you talking about? My toe entered the class before yours by a centimetre," countered pinky AKA Sakura.
Sakura then spotted the resident brooder and ran over to get to him, only for me to get in her way.
"Get out of the way!" she demanded. I looked at her and smiled coldly. "No," I simply said. She tried again, this time with a threat. "Out of the way or I'll bash you good!" I yawned while keeping my eye on her. "Make me," I challenged. Sakura wasted no time in trying to punch me. Note the keyword here is 'try'. I blocked every single punch she threw my way.
"Man you are violent. Do you really think that Sasuke would want a violent girlfriend like you? Assuming he ever finds someone worthy." I said lazily as she kept up the attack. Eventually she ran out of steam. As she was trying to catch her breath I decided to ask her a question.
"Why do you like Sasuke?"
She looked at me as if I were mad. She straightened up. "Well because he's cool and strong and handsome looking," she rattled off as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. I noticed that everyone was now listening in.
"That's it?" I asked. Sakura opened her mouth to bite back but the words failed to come out of her mouth.
"Sakura, for all you know he could be a deranged psychopath. Instead of going for someone you've only heard rumours about, go for someone else. I'll give you a few candidates." I pointed to Naruto. "Naruto here is a happy-go-lucky person who is charming and always trustworthy. He's faithful and kind, not to mention he would always be there for you as a friend." I then moved on to Chouji.
"Chouji maybe on the plump side, but that doesn't matter. In the whole world, 80 of overweight people are some of the most friendly, loyal, kind and loving people on earth." I moved on to Kiba.
"Kiba is an Inuzuka and they are fiercely loyal to anyone they consider part of their pack. You could not find a more faithful partner than an Inuzuka." I then turned my attention back to Sakura.
"And if you really cared for the Uchiha, then you would notice that he doesn't like you or any other of his fan-girls. Someone wise once told me, 'The more you ask for it, the more annoying it gets and the less likely you'll get what you want.' This applies to everything except getting a job. And even after all this if you still want to go out with the Uchiha, prove your strength. Prove you are strong enough to stand at his side. And as for your attitudes, change them. We are now ninja. Professional killers. You have to put behind these childish crushes." I took a deep breath and looked at the space in front of me. "That is all I have to say," I finished.
The silence around me brought justice to the saying 'You could hear a pin drop'. Naruto, Chouji and Kiba were looking at me in awe. Sakura and the rest of the fan-girls were shocked. At that moment Iruka walked into the classroom.
(Cue Song Kinokoi Wa Kaido from Final Fantasy X-2 OST- Disc 1)
"Huh? What's wrong guys?" he asked. No-one answered him. "Ok then. Starting today, you are all official ninjas but you are all still new genins. It's going to get harder from here. You all will be in a group of three except Team 7 since there are an odd number of graduates. In this group you will accomplish missions under a Jounin teacher." At this last sentence a few people's eyes widened.
"We've arranged the groups such that overall abilities are equivalent. I will now announce them." The whole class tensed. Iruka went through teams 1 to 6, but I wasn't interested in these.
"Next, Team 7 is… Josh Ryu Kitsune," I smiled.
"Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto and I slapped each other high-fives.
"Haruno Sakura," everyone expected Naruto to be jumping for joy but he was strangely quiet. 'I'll have to ask him about that,' I thought.
"And Uchiha Sasuke," Again, everyone knew that Sakura's crush on Sasuke was legendary but she also was quiet.
"Next Team 8, Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino. Next, Team 9." I again tuned out for this.
"Next, Team 10. Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Chouji. That's it for the groups." The class mumbled but that was it. Ino was looking at Chouji in a neutral way, probably rethinking about her crush on Sasuke.
"I'm going to introduce the Jounin teachers in the afternoon. Meeting adjourned until then!" Iruka finished.
(Cue Song Tokubetsu na Yokan from Da Capo TV OST)
Naruto spoke up, "I would ask you if you want to join us for lunch seeing as we're teammates now but something tells me you're gonna say no."
Sakura turned on him and started shouting, "Naruto! Shut up! You're so..." At this point she had finally turned around and taken notice of his new clothes. She obviously also noticed how his new clothes showed off the body he would usually cover up with the jumpsuit. She just stood there open mouthed and gawking at his body.
Naruto waited a couple of seconds expecting her to answer him. He then waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Sakura-san? Hello?" When she didn't answer he just shrugged and we walked off for Ichiraku's. We got outside only to be confronted by Chouji and Kiba.
"Hey guys, what's up?" I asked in a friendly manner.
"Well, we just wanted to say thanks," said Kiba with Chouji nodded.
"No need. I just told the truth." I answered. "We were about to grab some lunch at Ichiraku's. Want to come with? I'll be paying," I asked.
"Sure!" said Kiba enthusiastically. I turned to Chouji. "Although you are restricted to three bowls mister," I turned to Naruto. "This means you as well." We all laughed. I spotted someone peeking round a tree at us. "Chouji, how bout you invite Shikamaru?" I asked. He nodded and went to find his friend. "Kiba, you go find Shino; see if he wants to join us," "Ok," he answered as he rushed off to find bugman.
I then walked toward the tree and, without looking round it, said, "You're welcome to join us too, Hinata," I then turned round and walked back to Naruto. Chouji had been successful in his search but Kiba said that Shino had something else to do. We all then trouped off to the ramen bar. Halfway there Hinata joined us, blushing furiously.
We all got back to the classroom on time. The lunch was nice, hearing everyone's story. We laughed and joked around. To sum it up, it was enjoyable.
All the other Jounin had picked up their charges and now it was just us. Even Iruka had left.
I was sharing my music with Naruto and it looked like he really enjoyed my music. Currently we were listening to Lock and Load -Blackened Angel mix- by Shootie HG from Devil May Cry 4 OST. Both of us were nodding our heads in time to the beat. I opened my eyes to see Sakura standing in front of us. I stopped the music and looked at her. "Is there something you want?"
"What music are you guys listening to?" she asked. I raised one of my eyebrows. "Do you want to listen?" She nodded hesitantly. I took off mine and Naruto's earphone and set a new song. This one was From the same album. It was called The Time Has Come by Jason "Shyboy" Arnold. I turned up the volume and played the song. The sound of heavy metal rang through the classroom. Naruto and I nodded our heads and tapped our feet to the beat. Sakura was a bit shocked. It seemed that she had never heard this kind of music. Even Sasuke was tapping his finger to the tune. The song ended and a new one struck up. This was called What I've Done by Linkin Park. This time I sung along.
In this fair world, there's no blood
There's no alibi
Cause I've drawn regret, from the truth
And a thousand lies
So let mercy come, and wash away
What I've Done, I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of What I've Done
Put to rest, what you thought of me
While I clean this slate, with the hands
Of uncertainty
So let mercy come, and wash away
What I've Done, I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of What I've Done
Of What I've Done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
And forgiving
What I've Done, I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of What I've Done
What I've Done
Forgiving What I've Done
The song ended and I opened my eyes. Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke were staring at me. "What? Am I that bad?" I joked.
"I've never heard of songs like them before," Sakura said softly. "Yeah," Naruto agreed, nodding his head. Sasuke stayed quiet.
I quirked my eyebrow up in confusion but at that moment I felt the door behind me open. I instantly grabbed a kunai from one of the holsters under my jacket and threw it over my shoulder. It imbedded itself in the door frame right in front of the Jounin's face. Both Sasuke and Sakura looked at him strangely. "You're late sensei." I said as I turned around to see the Jounin walk in with his one eye not giving any emotion away. He grabbed the kunai and tossed it back to me; I caught it with ease and placed it back in the holster under my jacket.
"Now that wasn't a very nice greeting. I wasn't that late." He said in a sort of monotone. "Either way I want to meet you all on the roof, now." At that he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
I looked at Sasuke and Sakura and contemplated the use of the flame Shunshin jutsu to get to the roof and give them a surprise but decided against it. "We better get going," was all I said as Naruto and I got up to leave.
(Cue Song Kakashi's Theme by Toshiro Masuda from Naruto Original Soundtrack I)
When we got to the roof the Jounin was already there sitting at the far end. He gestured for us to sit down. "Alright how about we get to know each other? Introduce yourselves." He said in the same monotone voice.
Sakura raised her hand almost instantly. "Um. Sensei what should we say?"
"Well you should obviously say your names. Maybe then you could say your likes and dislikes, your hobbies and maybe your dreams." Replied the Jounin.
"Why don't you go first? We can't keep calling you just sensei, sensei." Suggested Naruto.
"Okay. My names Hatake Kakashi. I have no intention of telling you my likes and dislikes. As for my dreams... I have few hobbies."
'Just as I thought,' I already knew the half assed intro he was going to say.
"Okay what about you with the pink." Kakashi said pointing toward Sakura who was sitting in between the other two.
"I'm Haruno Sakura! I like... well the person I like is... And my hobbies are... well, my dream is to...!" She hid her face with her hands at this point, in embarrassment and confusion. All the time she had been saying this she had been looking between Naruto and Sasuke not sure which one to settle on.
"Anything you hate?" Asked Kakashi still not giving away emotion.
"INO-PIG!" She shouted instantly.
"Okay what about you blondie?" He said while pointing at Naruto, to the left of Sakura.
"The name's Uzumaki Naruto!" Shouted Naruto with confidence. "I like ramen and training and my friend Josh. I dislike the 3 minute wait after adding water to the ramen cup, when making instant ramen. I got some hobbies but I ain't saying what they are. My dream... is to be HOKAGE!" He yelled the last part for emphasis. Sakura was looking at him strangely, Sasuke just narrowed his eyes at him and Kakashi just looked bored with his eyes revealing nothing.
"Alright, emo-kid you're up last."
"I'M NOT EMO!" Sasuke yelled, his eyebrow twitching. I just erupted into laughter. 'EMO-KID!! Ohhh classics are often the best.' I thought as I decided to play a prank.
"Fine, just get on with the introduction..." Everyone thought that Kakashi had finished at that but Naruto managed to hear the quiet, "Emo-kid.", that Kakashi had said under his breath. This caused Naruto and me to stifle another chuckle.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are many things I hate, there aren't a lot of things that I like. Also, I have an ambition that I have no intention to leave as just a dream." Both Sakura and Naruto were now listening intently to what Sasuke was saying, Kakashi just looked on as usual. "The revival of my clan and to... kill a certain man."
At that moment music blared into the air. "Crawling in my skin, these wounds, they will not heal!!" I stopped the music as Naruto and I bawled our head's off in laughter.
"Alright, now you Whity," said Kakashi.
"My name is Josh Ryu Kitsune. I like all my friends, foxes, my music and living. I dislike snakes, arrogant people and people who pick on my friends. My hobbies are hanging out with Naruto, listening to music and travelling. My dreams for the future are to become a rare swords collector, to start a music band and to be a better seals master than the Yondaime and Jiraiya," I said. Kakashi raised his eyes at my mention of foxes and my dreams but nodded at me.
"Alright you four have unique personalities. So far, I like that." Kakashi said while looking over us all. "We're going on a mission tomorrow. It's something the five of us can do together, some survival training."
Sakura raised her hand instantly and asked, "Why are we going to train when it's a mission? Didn't we get enough training at the academy?"
"This is no ordinary training. If I say this, I'm sure the four of you are going to be surprised. Out of the 27 graduates, only nine will become genins. The other 18 will be sent back to the academy. In other words, this training is going to be a very hard test with a dropout rate of sixty-six percent," said Kakashi while grinning.
"Liar," I said softly but loud enough for all to hear. Kakashi looked at me. "Ooohhh and why do you think that?"
"Because the village needs all the ninja that they can get. What would happen if all the graduators pass the test? The Hokage wouldn't encourage people to do their best only to be shot down because they weren't in the 34 margin. Nice try Kakashi."
"That's Kakashi-sensei," said the silver haired Jounin; he sounded a bit pissed off.
"You haven't taught us anything yet so I won't add sensei after your name until you deserve it!" I countered back, already sick of this guys attitude.
Kakashi glared at me before looking over us again and said, "Alright, the test is going to be at training grounds 7 tomorrow morning at 7am. Oh! Before I go, I suggest you don't eat any breakfast."
He started going through some hand signs quickly until Sakura asked another question. "Why's that sensei?"
He looked up and simply said, "Because you'll puke." He then vanished in a puff of smoke.
"Don't listen to his advice about breakfast, have what you usually have for breakfast. Don't worry about the time of the test; he'll be late again tomorrow. We might as well wait until tomorrow to make a plan," I said. Sasuke and Sakura just nodded before walking off. I turned to Naruto. "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow Naruto," I waved at him before flame shunshining off the roof.
The first thing I did was go visit the Hokage and asked if I could borrow a jutsu scroll.
"What's the technique Josh," he asked. I smiled at him. "Doton: Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu." Sarutobi nodded. "An upper C class jutsu. That's fine. Wait here and I'll get my assistant to find it. Izumo!" he said sharply. One of the gate guards appeared in front of the seasoned leader. "Sir!"
"I need you to get an upper C class doton jutsu for me please. It's the Shinjuu Zanshu," explained Sarutobi.
"Hai!" Izumo said before vanishing again. The Hokage then turned his attention back to me.
"So, how are things for you?" he asked.
"Not bad. I bought Naruto a new set of clothes yesterday. After all, you can't be a respectable ninja if you dress in orange," I said. Sarutobi chuckled. I then said, "Hey I need to ask you something privately." Sarutobi nodded and flashed through a few seals before casting the jutsu. "Now what is it you wanted to ask me?"
"Is the Namikaze compound still standing?" Sarutobi was shocked. "Why would you want to know that?" he asked. I smiled again. "It's time he knows the truth. After the discovery of the Kyuubi inside of him I think you should come clean with him. And if you're worried that someone might discover the truth then just swear him to secrecy. He needs to know who his mother and father were." Sarutobi sighed. "You're right. I guess it is time. Do you know where he is?"
"I think you should tell him after the gennin exam. If you told him now, he would be distracted." I reasoned. The Hokage nodded and released the jutsu. Just then the door opened and Izumo walked in holding a small scroll. "Here you go sir," he said as he placed the scroll on the desk. "Thank you Izumo," thanked the Hokage before dismissing him. "Josh, when he moves in, could you also move in with him?" he asked.
"I was actually going to ask you that. Yes, I will." I stood up and picked up the scroll. "And thank you for the jutsu. See you old man," I finished as flames erupted around me, teleporting me out of the office and on top of the building. I then bounded off to the park to learn the jutsu. It took one and a half hours to get that jutsu down. By this time the sun had set and the city lights were out. I decided to get back to the hotel. After I arrived I got to work in making some basic paralysis seals. 'They will come in handy in stalling Kakashi,' I thought before finishing up and going to sleep.
(Cue Song Kaname no Kitchen by Toshihiko Sahashi from Fullmetal Panic Original Sound Track 1)
I woke up a little after 7am. I took a shower and got dressed fairly quickly, making sure I remembered the kunai holsters under my coat and Soul Calibur. I rolled up the paralysis seals that I made last night and placed them in a small pocket next to the unused summoning scrolls inside my coat.
I decided to swing by Ichiraku's to get some food. I only had one bowl but I ordered three takeout ramen and sealed them into the previously used summoning scroll. Tucking it away I waved goodbye to Ayame and Teuchi.
I finally arrived at the training grounds at 8:45am. I was blasting the song Hello by The Cat Empire, 'A very catchy tune,' I thought. When I arrived the first thing I saw were two very tired, very hungry looking genin hopefuls, namely, Sakura and Sasuke. Naruto was there as well but he looked like he was fine. 'Those two haven't taken my advice about eating breakfast or getting there purposefully late and it seems to have taken its toll on them.' I thought. Each looked like they were about to collapse in fatigue. I just sighed and walked over to the group.
"I thought as much, neither of you took my advice did you? You do realize Kakashi only suggested that we skip breakfast? Also, you did notice how late he was yesterday? At least Naruto was smart enough to heed my advice." I sighed at the two again, pulling out the scroll and summoning the ramen takeout. I handed one to Sakura as she said a silent "Arigatou, Josh." and started eating. Sasuke, on the other hand, looked at the ramen like it was his worst enemy. "I'm not going to eat that! If I eat this Kakashi-sensei will most probably fail me straight away!"
"You idiot. Kakashi-sensei is trying to use our hunger to his advantage and unless you eat something, you're going to be a liability. Now eat that ramen before I force feed it to you, it's for your own good!"
Sasuke just glared at him and ate the food slowly. I gave the last takeout to Naruto who smiled before inhaling the food in less than 5 seconds.
At that moment Kakashi arrived on the scene via shunshin. "Sorry I'm late. I-" started Kakashi.
"Don't even try it Kakashi!" Naruto broke-in.
Kakashi looked at Naruto with a fake hurt expression. "You didn't even let me try! Oh, well on to the test. It's pretty simple, all you have to do is get these bells off of me before noon." He took out three bells and held them up for us to see. He also took out an alarm clock and set it for noon.
"But Kakashi-sensei! There are only three bells and four of us." Sakura pointed out.
"Exactly only three of you can pass. Once you have a bell you pass, if you don't get a bell then you fail and you have to watch as whoever did pass eat these two lunches I prepared." Kakashi pulled out three bento boxes. Everyone just looked at them uninterested, seeing as I had fed them already. Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly. 'Probably at the lack of a response from us,' I thought.
"Also, if you fail you have to go back to the academy, although I'm guessing you already figured that out from what I said yesterday." Kakashi walked over to three posts on the other end of the training grounds and placed the three bento boxes and the alarm clock on top of the middle post.
"So when do we start Kakashi-sensei?" I asked with a smirk.
"Well first, I should tell you if you want to get these bells that you're gonna have to come at me with everything you have. That means you have to have an intent to kill, you can use anything you want, kunai, shuriken and anything else you may have." Replied Kakashi with an eye-smile.
"But that's too dangerous Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura yelled in fear for the Jounin's life.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." He replied. "By the way the test starts now!"
(Cue Song Anun by Takanashi Yasuharu from NARUTO Shippuuden Original Soundtrack 1)
At that, we all sped into the trees for cover. As soon as I was out of sight I created several clones. I instructed two to find Naruto and two to find Sakura. Then one clone from each pair was to lead them to myself while the other was to henge into the person they were assigned to and for them to stay where they were. The fifth was to stay here in my place. As the four clones sped off to find their targets, I bounded off to find Sasuke.
Not far into the search I felt my fifth clone disperse. 'That shithead! How dare he use Sennen Goroshi on me. Well I'll just have to introduce you to Soul Calibur!' I thought furiously. After a couple of minutes I found Sasuke. I had to knock him out before going to the meeting place. As I arrived I saw that Naruto and Sakura were already there. I woke up Sasuke and started telling them of my plan.
"Okay then now that that's sorted. You guys get going on the traps I'm gonna find a place to hide and wait for Kakashi. Hopefully one of the kage bushin will be able to survive long enough to lead him to this place." I said as Naruto and I began to turn away and head for the trees.
"Wait a second! Why is it you and the dobe who gets to go after Kakashi?" Asked Sasuke a little angry.
"Because I have the perfect way of bringing him down Teme. And don't worry you three can have the bells; I just want to see the look on Kakashi face when he sees what I have in store for him. Now get going, he's already gotten rid of two of my kage bushin." I ordered as we both bounded into the trees to wait. It was then I felt the Sakura clone get destroyed by a genjutsu. I whistled to the others to signal that Kakashi had dealt with all but one of the kage bushin and was currently on his way toward us. The two quickly hid behind the bushes were they could set off all the traps. I sent another clone to them.
They then got up to see Kakashi standing a few feet from the bushes staring straight Sasuke, Sakura and my clone. "Alright, time's almost up, now are the real 'yous' going to finally try and get the bells from me or what?" Kakashi asked turning to his orange book about half way through his speech.
The three smirked at him and said in unison, "Hai!" As soon as the word left their mouth's a multitude of shuriken and kunai were thrown at him.
Kakashi thought as he took out a kunai and blocked each and every weapon thrown at him not once looking up from his book. As he was still blocking the projectiles my clone and Sasuke jumped in to attack him. They both hit their mark only to have it turn into a log. The barrage of weapons had stopped now so the two looked around trying to figure out where he had gone.
All of a sudden the ground beneath both of them crumbled and Kakashi's hands came up, grabbed both their ankles and pulled them under leaving only their heads above ground.
Kakashi looked down at the two as he said, "Ninja lesson 3: Ninjutsu, Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu." He then froze. "What's going on?" He asked no one in particular. Naruto then walked into his field of vision. "Naruto? You did this?" he asked. "Somewhat," Naruto answered before I appeared on the scene.
"How do you like my paralysis seal Kakashi-sensei?" I asked the immobile jounin while I created a clone to get Sasuke out of the ground. I went over to the jounin and unfastened the three bells. "I'll take these. Hey Sakura! Catch!" I yelled throwing one her way then holding the other out to Sasuke when he was out of the jutsu. Sasuke just glared at me and snatched the bell from him. I handed the last one to Naruto. "So this means that they pass right Kakashi-sensei?"
"Yes." Kakashi answered.
"Well then for me to pass I'll take this!" I said as I slipped the orange book out from his hands. He looked like he was just about to protest before he heard "Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu!" He then found himself buried to his neck.
"How about now? Do I pass?" I asked sweetly. "Yes." Kakashi answered. I smiled as my clone pushed Kakashi out of the ground. He smiled.
"You realized the purpose of this test and got the four of you to work together to take me down. The purpose was to see if you could work as a team and you did. You knew that me telling you not to eat breakfast was so I could use your hunger against you, so you brought food for your team-mates. There is a saying I like to follow, those who break the rules are scum but-"
"-Those who abandon their friends are worse than scum." I finished.
Kakashi did an eye-smile and answered, "Exactly! Now that you all passed could you please take the paralysis seal off me?" Kakashi asked with an eye smile.
"Why don't you just break it? Being a Jounin you must have a strong enough will to break it. I mean it's a pretty simple seal." I replied, hands behind my head.
Kakashi simply replied, "I'm too lazy."
I sighed as the others sweat dropped. "Okay give me a second." I said as I walked back over to Kakashi. I peeled off the paper seal and rolled it back up; setting it back in my coat.
"Now then, you three can have tomorrow off. I need to get some paperwork done concerning you three becoming gennin. Meet me here the day after tomorrow at 8am and we'll start on your training and missions. Dismissed!" Kakashi announced and started to leave for the Hokage tower while Sasuke and Sakura were leaving the training grounds.
I turned to Naruto. "Let's go celebrate with ramen!" I said as we both left together.
