Chapter Six
Kakashi's Conclusion

"The strength of the village's #1, the Uchiha Clan.." Kakashi said. "This should be interesting."

Sasuke quickly threw some shuriken at Kakashi, who dodged them. "Such obvious attack's are pointless!"

"Heh," Sasuke smirked as one of the Shuriken cut a rope.

"A trap?" Kakashi asked as he jumped up, avoiding some knive's as the hit a tree. 'What!' he asked again as he turned and blocked Sasuke's kick. Kakashi grabbed Sasuke's leg with one hand, and caught his punch with his other one. Then as Sasuke moved his other leg to kick him, he moved his arm to block it.

Sasuke smirked slightly and went to grab a bell but Kakashi noticed just before he reached them and moved back. 'Damn!' he thought as Sasuke barely missed one of the bell's.

'What a guy...' Kakashi thought as the two seperated and faced each other. 'I didn't have time to read "Come Come Paradise".'

---

"Huh?" Chi asked sitting up and rubbing her arm. "I was..." she said. "Oh yeah! Sasuke-baka was near death and.. I saw that and- Sasuke-baka!" she yelled. "Don't die before I have a chance to kill you for making me worry!"

---

Naruto; still hanging from the tree, had his arm's folded and a slight frown on his face, as he looked at Hikaru. "Why's she so shy all the time?" he sighed as he looked over at a large stone. "What's that? A stone? So there's stuff behind those stumps," he noted. "Oh!" he yelled happily. "There's lunch on top of the stone! A Ninja must read underneath the underneath.. eh?" he asked as he grinned. "Nihihihihi."

----

"Well," Kakashi started as he looked at Sasuke. "I will acknowledge that you are different from the other three."

"Bah," Sasuke said as he made a seal. "Uma, Tora! Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu!"

'What!' Kakashi yelled. 'A Genin shouldn't have enough chakra to be able to use that jutsu,' he finished as Sasuke blew a large fireball to where Kakashi stood.

After Sasuke released the jutsu he noticed that Kakashi wasn't standing there anymore. 'He's gone! To the side? No, above? Where?'

"Below you."

"Wha?" Sasuke asked as a hand reached from the ground and grabbed his foot.

"Doton: Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu!" Kakashi yelled as he pulled Sasuke under neath the ground. Then crouched infront of Sasuke's head. "Ninja fighting lesson #3, Ninjutsu," he said. "Well, you're already head's above the others in this area.!

"But hey," Kakashi started as he walked off. "They say an exposed nail should be hammered in.. Hahahahah."

"Damn you," Sasuke growled.

----

"Heheheh," Naruto laughed. "Instead of wasting time trying to get the bell.. I can just hide and eat the lunches now. Heheh."

"Hey, buddy," Kakashi said, standing behind him.

"...That's.. a joke.." Naruto mumbled.

"What do you think you're doing?"

---

'Damn it..' Sasuke thought. 'There's that large a difference..-' he stopped as Chi ran into the clearing and the two looked at each other.

"AWWW!" she yelled. "His severed head!"

"Wh.. what!" Sasuke asked as Chi fainted; again.

---

"Hey."

'Huh? Sasuke-baka's.. voice?' Chi thought as she opened her eye's. "Sasuke-baka!" she yelled as she sat up. "You're al- I have a bone to pick with you! You won't be alright by the time I'm finished!" she yelled changing the subject.

"There's not much time until lunch," Sasuke said as he started to walk off. "I'm going."

"Sasuke-baka, you're still going after the bell?" Chi asked.

"I already touched it. Next time I'll get it."

"What!"

---

"Itai," Hikaru mumbled as she rubbed the back of her head while sitting up. "Chikusho..." 'No... matter how hard I tried,' she thought as she stood up. 'I was.. un-able to help... Naruto-kun.' "There's no point in trying to get a bell," she sighed and looked to where Naruto had been hung. "It even seem's as if Naruto could get down himself anyhow," she sighed and walked off.

----

"Oh I see," Chi said. 'It's his fault I got caught in that bakafied genjutsu!' she thought. 'If I fail he should to!' "You know.. There isn't much time left, so... We don't have to push ourselves too hard.. There's alway's next time.." she tried to reason, but she foze when Sasuke glared at her.

"There's a man that only I can kill."

"... Oh... Who? Kakashi-sensei?"

"That.. time.. crying.."

"Crying?" Chi asked.

"My.."

"What... do you mean?" Chiaki asked.

"I am an avenger. I have to become stronger than that man. So I can't just stay around here..."

'To kil a certain man.'

Chi remembered what Sasuke had said the day before, and went to say something; only the clock rang first. "Pft," Sasuke said. "Danm! Wasted too much time."

---

"Oh... you guys look really hungry," Kakashi said standing infront of the group of four. Naruto, tied to a log and Chi to his left with Sasuke to his right. While Hikaru sat, to Chi's left. "By the way.. something about the training.."

"Well.. there's no need for you guys to go back to the Academy," he started.

"Hey!"

'Huh? All I did was pass out.. that was enough?' Chi asked.

'I couldn't help Naruto-kun though.. I should've forgotten about Kakashi and just let him d.. down,' Hikaru thought as she fiddled with her finger's.

"Bah," Sasuke said.

"Then! Then!" Naruto yelled. "All four of us!"

"Yup, all four of you," Kakashi said. "Should quit as Ninja's!"
