Warning : I suck at writing battles. So forgive me if this chapter sucks and thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy today's chapter.

Chapter 5 : A warrior's blade.

"Three... Two... One... Go!"

Kakashi gave the signal. Sakura and Sasuke knew what they had to do. The academy had taught them to always hide from a stronger opponent and wait for an opportunity to strike in order to gain the upper hand. Naruto on the other hand just kept standing at the same spot she was at before.

"Uh, Naruto. I don't think you understand the – ."

"I understand it very well Hatake-san. I just don't think it's wise to hide from my opponents. They can surprise you when your focusing on your enemy, its better to fight your opponents and... Naruto paused. 'I shouldn't say what I'm about to do. "Do things that can help you defeating them."

"I see, that's a smart thought but – ."

"Not only that but I doubt that you would allow them to strike you since your already expecting them to do so when you lower your guard. You would probably attack them before they even get that chance."

"How do you – ?"

"You're easy to read. To me at least. People not wanting their children to play with me left me without much to do. Now, before we dance I would like to know if we have a time limit or not."

'As observant as her father I see.' mused Kakashi. "You have until this noon. So you'll have two hours. Oh, and I forgot to tell you guys that the loser won't be getting any food and will be bound against the training post... Did you eat by the way?"

Naruto cocked her head to the left on a cute way. "No, why do you ask?"

"I haven't heard you stomach complain once from the lack of food."

"Ah, that. Well, I skip my meals sometimes because I would rather train instead so I'm used to it. I also don't really have anything to eat at home since I'm moving today."

Naruto readied herself in a fighting stance. The Utahime stance which the female members of the main household of the Uzumaki clan used. Made specially for the Uzumaki Kekkai genkai : The Mujihina Kamigami no Koe or the Voice of the merciless gods. (No, Naru's not going to be OP) It only awakened in the main household, therefor it was very rare, and the fact that it's name was so damn long annoyed Naruto a bit. Naruto could only use one of it's skills and that particular skill wasn't very useful in battle. "Its been nice talking to you Hatake-san but time marches on. I think we have been talking for long enough. Now, shall we dance?"

Kakashi grinned. 'Using the catch phrase of Madara Uchiha Huh? It actually fits you pretty well Naruto.' He reached for his bag and pulled out a orange book.

"Wait, huh? What are you you going to do with that book?" Asked Naruto, feeling a bit dishonored by her teacher and godfather.

"Isn't that obvious? I'm reading.."

"I can see that but why are you reading? Aren't we supposed to fight?"

Kakashi scoffed. "Do you really think a genin like you could do me any harm?"

Oh, this was it! Godfather or not. She was going to kick this man's ass to Kumo and then back to Konoha. Nobody, and that means absolutely nobody was allowed to underestimate her, shit was going to go down!

Kakashi smiled to himself. 'Seems my taunting worked.'

His teacher had said long ago that an angered warrior only wielded a dull blade. He would teach this to his daughter.
Or so he thought...
Naruto charged at him head on. She didn't even guard her weak spots. Kakashi held out his hand trying to stop her 'pathetic' punch only for it to stop right before he could catch it. She then used the ball of her foot to push her to the right.

'A feint?!' Thought Kakashi before the wind that her punch carried swooped over him. Pushing him several feet back. 'Such power!'

Naruto disappeared for a fraction of a second and reappeared behind Kakashi, she raised her hand and backhanded him on the face. "Let me give you some advice! NEVER anger an Uzumaki. It'll be your downfall!"

Kakashi was surprised by Naruto's attack and found himself being smacked on the face. Her words repeated themselves in his mind. And he remembered something else his sensei had said. He almost face palmed when he did. 'An angered warrior only wields a dulled blade. But remember Kakashi, that an angered Uzumaki will come after you with a scythe twice as sharp as the Izanagi *Shudders*'

Kakashi involuntary paled. How could he forget. The Uzumaki temper and pride was sensitive to insults. And an angry Uzumaki means death. He was lucky she hadn't awakened her 'voice' or he would have been screwed.

Naruto grinned as she saw Kakashi pale. She might have her father's strategic skills and his wisdom but her personality on the battlefield was the same as her mother's. Have no mercy. That was her Nindo when battling someone, may it be a life or death situation or just training. Don't hold back. That was all she would ever think about in battle. And she absolutely hated it if someone underestimated her. Especially since she never held back. It was her way of leaving her opponent's honor intact, she would respect their strength, the only thing she wanted in return was that the opposite party did their best as well. Which was not being done by Kakashi right now.

She jumped back in a back flip to get some distance between them, she then made five handsigns : Rat, Serpent, Monkey, Ox, Dog. "Fuuton, Breath of the wind deity." She used a bigger variation of wind bullet and threw his body against a tree. "Your not talking so big now eh Kakashi-sa – Wait, huh?"

Kakashi's body disappeared and leaved a log in it's place.

"Damn, Kawarimi! I've been had!"

Sasuke and Sakura meanwhile were gaping. That was NOT a genin level battle. That speed was just inhuman. (for them least) They seemed to disappear and reappear over and over again. Sakura actually got scared of Naruto now. She had just badmouthed her and thank goodness Naruto ignored her. She would like to keep her head. Thank you very much.

Sasuke was inwardly celebrating. She was PERFECT. She was everything he's ever wanted in a woman. Beautiful, kind yet fiery, actually smart and she was strong. Nobody would ever deserve someone like her, except him of course. (Talk about a big ego...) He was exited. That much was sure. He would go as far as saying... He fell for her. Was this how it felt to 'fall in love at first sight'? No, it would be too fast to tell. Maybe he was just exited about the thought that there was someone else like him. It was a possibility. He would have to wait and see.

It felt strange. He was sure that he locked away his feelings since that day, yet he felt comforted when looking at her. When she smiled, he couldn't get it out of his head. It was a strange phenomenon to him. Maybe, he was attached then?

Naruto looked around, looking for signs of her sensei and was shocked she found none. 'That's strange... I'm a sensory type so how could he..?'"

"He's masking his chakra. Rejoice Kit. Only ANBU know how to do that. If you pass, you'll have a good teacher to teach you all kinds of awesome things. By the way, you do realize this is a test inside a test right?"

'Of course I do. Who do you think I am? What kind of team travels in a pair instead of three?'

"That's my Kit!"

Naruto smiled at the fox's antics but quickly hid it. She then heard rustling behind her. Kakashi was hiding in some treetops making several hand signs. 'Those hand signs are for a Katon jutsu! If that reaches me I'm screwed!'

"Konoha secret technique, thousand years of pain!"

Kakashi put his hands together and stuck his index fingers out, he than aimed for her... Ass, and gave her for a lack of a better word a very powerful poke in the butt. "Lesson 1 : Never let a ninja get behind you."

Kakashi's eyes widened when Naruto gave him the most sinister grin he had ever seen. Joy obvious in those blue eyes. When he shoved his finger... You know where. There only resounded one sound, no screaming, no cursing, only one sound. *Poof*

'Kage bushin?! When?'

Kakashi then understood what the girl had done. 'Clever, very clever. Sending a Kage bushin to obtain information about your opponents without getting in danger yourself.'

Naruto watched Kakashi's confused look change into a amused one. 'Seems he found out the purpose of that Kage bushin.' She grinned once again, she was really enjoying this. After acting weak for years, she never had fun fighting, not even once. But now, she was completely giddy of excitement. Unfortunately, she didn't need to fight anymore, she had finished what she wanted to do. The only thing she had to do was wait till noon.

Sasuke had seen everything and wanted to have some action as well. However, how? Kakashi was strong, he had seen enough to acknowledge that but even so, he was still going to try his hand against Kakashi. He made himself ready to charge. 'Three, two, one, go.' And he charged Kakashi head on.

With Hinata :

Hinata had, like she though, passed Kurenai's test. The test was to track her down while she hid behind a B-ranked genjustu in a time limit of one hour. It wasn't even hard. Akamaru could smell her, Shino's insects could feel the chakra waves she emitted and Hinata could see her clear as day with her Byakugan. It took them about fifteen minutes to find Kurenai. It was a bit too easy if you asked her, not that she complained though. She passed, that's all that mattered to her. She didn't even care about the test to be honest. What she did care about was the face her father was about to make in a few minutes.
She walked to the garden where her father and Hanabi were training. She scoffed, Hanabi was pathetic and she would show that to her excuse of a clan. About fourty other Hyuuga's were wathing their match. This was going to be the best moment to do this. She smirked sinisterly and switched her father's place with hers. Hiashi was shocked when he found himself where Hinata had just stood and he was even more shocked to see Hinata in his place. "Hinata! What is the meaning of – ?!"

Hinata didn't give her father any attention as Hanabi was almost hitting her with a blow that was normally aimed at his father. She held out her hand and simply held Hanabi's fingertips before they could hit any of her tenketsu's. "Your power is too weak, your movement is too stiff and you use way too much chakra. They call me a failure, but if I am a failure. Then what are you?"

Hanabi snapped out of his stupor when he heard his failure of a sister insulting him. "Are you calling me worse than a failure Sister? Did you forget I defeated you. No, crushed you three years ago?"

"And are you telling me I was serious? You are my younger brother. I would have won that fight however, the blow that would defeat you would leave you crippled. Your arm would never move again. Would you rather have I had gone through with that hit then?"

"Y-You're lying!"

"Oh, really?" Hinata took three steps back. "Then, could a failure do this?" Hinata put her foot in front of her and slightly bend her knees. "Kaiten!" She spinned her body around in extreme speed.

Creating a strong shield around her.

"Impossible!" Screamed Hiashi. "I never learned her Kaiten. She couldn't possibly have learned that by herself!"

"Learn it by myself I did, though I had a strong training partner. She was the person to help me acquire this level of strength, do not think I became this strong for you though. I become strong so I could protect her, not the Hyuuga clan. I became strong because of her and for her. I can honestly say this though : I. Hate. You. All."

Hinata raised her head in a uncaring manner and walked towards her room. When entering her room she screamed of joy. "Whooo, that felt good."

Back with Naruto :

Naruto sighed, Sasuke got himself buried in the ground while Sakura was caught in a weak genjutsu. She was glad that it was almost noon and she was also glad that Kakashi noticed no changes.

*Riiiiiiing*

'Finally!'

"Okay, we're done. Naruto, dig out Sasuke and wake up Sakura."

Naruto did so and the one being tied to the training post was Sakura. "Why am I the one being tied up?!" Screeched Sakura.

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you were the only one doing absolutely NOTHING." Said a once again irritated Naruto, she didn't hate the girl. But her lack of common sense was really pissing her off.

Sakura wanted to respond but then remembered how well she fared against Kakashi and decided to keep her mouth shut for the time being.

"It seems none of you have any bells."

"Look again." Said Naruto with a grin almost splitting her face. In her hand two bells.

"...How..."

"When you were fighting my Kage bushin I just had to place a small genjutsu on a very big area since I don't have enough chakra control to do it on a small area, walked over to you, snatched it without you feeling it and placed another genjutsu to make you think you still had them. Easy as that right?"

"But how did you – Never mind, who are you going to give the bells?"

Naruto threw the bells to Kakashi. "You of course, since you are our sensei. We are all a team, right?"

Kakashi shook his head in amusement. "You really are one of a kind..."

And that was the beginning of Naruto's troublesome ninja lifestyle.

Aaaah, this chapter sucked. Sorry guys. I just ran out of ideas in the end. I have enough ideas for this story. Don't get me wrong, but I wasn't really sure what to do in the end so it seems kind of rushed. (Geez author, why do you have such a low self esteem?) I also wonder how old you guys think I am. Let me know in your revieuws. The first to guess can suggest a pairing. I'll see if they fit in the story and if they do then you pairing will be in the story. Rule one : You can only guess once, rule two: the pairing must be with Naruto. One sided is allowed.

Also, for the last time, Naruto is mid Chuunin at most. She is not OP! Kakashi just went easy on her and underestimated her in this chapter.
