Make sure you thank my Beta(s) Karasu Yoru and Kuma Asayake.

CHAPTER START
(The next day)--
Naruto was the first to arrive at the training grounds, around six AM. A bingo book and a Bento box in hand. Sitting down, he began to read and eat. Less than an hour later, Sasuke arrived, being closely followed by Ino. Sasuke sat, and Ino sat between the 'Avenger' and our favorite blonde. Both newcomers were obviously irritated by Naruto's eating.
(2 hours later)--
Kakashi finally showed up, and noticed the empty Bento. "Okay, who was the smart-ass and ate breakfast?"
"Naruto-baka ate breakfast." Was Sasuke's reply.
"I didn't eat breakfast, I ate lunch."
"…Okay, that's fine. Now, let's get down to business. You have two hours to get these bells from me. There are two bells, and three of you. If you don't get a bell, you fail, and go back to the academy. The exam starts… NOW!!" and the Cyclops ran away, into a nearby clearing.
"Wait guys." Naruto said to no avail as Sasuke ran in the direction of the jounin. Ino stayed, however. "sigh Retard. Anyway, the purpose of this test is teamwork. So while the idiot distracts Kakashi-sensei, I need you to create another diversion. During this, I will get the bells and we'll say that Sasuke was in on it." Ino instantly agreed, and they set off for the battle site.
When they arrived, they found no trace of Kakashi, but Sasuke was neck deep in the ground. "GET ME OUT OF HERE!!" Sasuke screamed.
"Are you willing to work with us?" Naruto asked.
"I don't need your help!" he exclaimed.
"Says the guy who's currently buried up to his neck in dirt. Well, you obviously have the situation under control, so if you need our help, we'll be over there, passing the test." And the blondes started to leave, before Sasuke cried out for help.
"Wait!" he yelled. "I'll help, but only if you get me OUT OF THIS FUCKING HOLE!" Smiling, Naruto returned and pulled Sasuke up by the hair. "WHAT THE HELL?! THAT HURT!!"
"Well your out of the hole, so let's go!"
"Wait, what's the plan?" Sasuke asked.
"You and Ino distract him, and I'll get the bells."
"You can't get the bells!" Sasuke yelled.
"I can if you do your job." Naruto retorted.
And so, the trio began their search for Kakashi. They found him soon after, leaning against a tree, reading his porn. Sasuke and Ino ran forward, splitting apart and attacking Kakashi from both sides. Once his back was turned, Naruto attached chakra strings to the bells and pulled them into his hand.
Kakashi didn't seem to notice, and continued to fight off Ino and Sasuke. Eventually, the timer that Kakashi had set went off, and the Cyclops threw the gennin off of him, yelling, "YOU FAIL!! Now, since Naruto didn't do anything, he'll be tied up and won't get any… Damn."
"Ano, sensei?" Kakashi turned towards him. "We have the bells." He then threw them to Sasuke and Ino.
"Wait… when and how did you get the bells? I didn't see you get anywhere near me?" Kakashi asked.
"Around an hour ago, and you don't need to know." He responded.
"…Okay, I guess you pass. Come back here tomorrow for training and missions. Ja Ne!" and the jounin disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
Sasuke immediately left, leaving Ino and Naruto alone. "So, Naruto-kun… Now that we're gennin, do you want to go have a celebration?" as she turned to see that he wasn't there, and that she was alone in the clearing.
(3 months later) "With all due respect Hokage-jii, we've done 90 D-rank missions. We have earned at least one C-rank. That and the fact that we have Kakashi, an Uchiha, a Yamanaka, and me. That ALONE qualifies us for a C-rank."
Seeing the logic, Sarutobi gave in. "Alright, you can have a C-rank." He reached into a large pile and took out a scroll. "Let's see, you will be escorting Tazuna the bridge-builder to his home in Nami no Kuni." The Hokage explained as the man walked in.
The drunkard looked over team 7. "I thought I asked for ninjas, not two babies, a scary kid and a cyclops!" the man yelled, slurring his words.
"I assure you, Tazuna-san. These are all capable shinobi, and if they fail, I will personally protect you. "
The team split apart to gather their supplies. One hour later, they regrouped at the gate, and set off on their first C-rank mission.
Not too long after they left, both Naruto and Kakashi noticed a puddle by the side of the road. Now, this wouldn't normally be strange, but it hadn't rained in weeks. As they passed the puddle, two masked ninjas shot out of the puddle, wrapping their chain around Kakashi and cutting him into multiple pieces.
"One down…" one said.
"Four to go!" the second finished.
"More like two to go." Naruto said as he threw a demon wind shuriken at the first, taking the ninja's head off and returning to the blonde's hand.
The second shinobi; in shock from his brother's death; did not notice Kakashi appearing behind him. The Kiri nin was knocked unconscious and tied to a tree. "Alright Tazuna-san, do you have any explanation for why those shinobi were trying to kill you?" the jounin asked.
Tazuna then gave a long guilt trip of a story about how his village is suffering, and how they couldn't afford anything above a C-rank mission, and how his grandson and daughter would cry if he died.
Kakashi turned to his team. "Well we have two options. Either we can leave this asshole to whoever Gato has hired, or we can continue the mission and hope that these were the best he's got. Who votes for the first one?" no one raised their hands. "What about the second one?" the team accepted. "Alright, I guess we keep going."
For the next few days, the group traveled in relative silence. They reached the water's edge and entered a small boat. They continued in the boat, looking in awe at the giant, 99 percent completed bridge.
As they reached land, they continued on foot. As they neared the village, Naruto and Kakashi sensed danger and brought everyone to the ground, yelling "DOWN!" as a large sword went flying above their heads.
