Anything, But Ordinary

Chapter Seven: Bell Test?

Sakura stood staring at the two bells that her new sensei held in front of her eyes. She was annoyed to say the least. Not only had she arrived at the training field at the exact time instructed, 5 A.M., her new sensei hadn't arrived until four years later. Now said late man stood in front of them explaining that their training for today was to achieve said bells or else they would be sent back to the academy.

"But sensei there are only two bells and three of us?" Sakura asked.

"That's right Sakura. One of you will automatically fail and have to go back to the academy," Sakura's jaw dropped. There was no way in hell she could afford to go back to the academy. She needed to train herself hard enough so she could find her real parents. Her green eyes glanced between the two boys who stood on each side of her. She really hoped that Naruto would remember that he had promised that they would work together on this. "You have until noon." Kakashi said, his lazily eyed his students. "Began."

And with that all three ninja's disappeared. Sakura's belly pressed against the ground. Her chakra successfully hidden. Her eyes focused on their jonin teacher who stood in the middle of the field. He hadn't even moved since the test had started. He really doesn't think we're that strong. She thought to herself. Her eyes widened as Naruto stood in front of Kakashi. "Idiot!" she yelled out loud, as she pushed herself forward. She now stood behind Kakashi while Naruto stood in front of him.

Naruto and Sakura made eye contact and quickly moved forward. Sakura pulled out a kunia as did Naruto. "Shadow clone jutsu!" Naruto yelled and more Narto began to appear running at their sensei. Sakura grabbed a hold of Kakakshi by his neck while the Naruto's grabbed the rest of his body. Sakura's eyes widened as Kakashi's body poofed and she was now holding on to a log.

"Nani?" Sakura yelled as she fell her butt landing on one of the Naruto's. A large wave of poofs spread over the field, once the smoke was gone Sakura looked around her realizing the real Naruto had been the one she landed on. "Sorry Naruto." she mumbled standing up. She brought her hand down and helped the knuckle head ninja up.

"It's okay Sakura-chan." Naruto mumbled rubbing his sore back. "Damn it I thought for sure we had him!" Naruto whined.

"Phoenix fire ball jutsu!" Sakura and Naruto turned to see their sensei become completely engulfed by flames.

"What the hell Sasuke!" Naruto yelled. Sakura grabbed Naruto's shoulder keeping him from running to where the Uchiha boy was. Naruto's blue eyes widened as the ground underneath their teammate moved. Sasuke let out a small wail before his body was completely buried under ground aside from his head. Sakura and Naruto than began to laugh. Kakashi now stood off to the side reading a small orange book. He watched amused as Naruto and Sakura continued to laugh at the Uchiha.

"No offense teme but you look like chicken from up here!" Naruto laughed.

"Shut up dobe." Sasuke glared at the blonde boy who no stood in front of him. Sakura laughed holding her hand in front of her face.

"Alright lets help him get out." Sakura said bending down, and started to dig away at the dirt.

"I don't want your help!" Sasuke yelled at her. "And I don't need it!" Sakura stared down at him shocked. She stepped back.

"Hey! Don't yell at Sakura-chan like that! She was just trying to help you!"

"I don't need you're help! Ever!"

"You are such a basta-"

"Don't worry about it Naruto. It seems that Sasuke never heard of the term teamwork. Let's go get those bells for ourselves. Obveously Sasuke want's to go back to the academy." Sakura said, her hand on his shoulder.

"Okay Sakura-chan." Naruto said, the two turned around to see Kakashi standing right in front of them. The two silver bells sat staring at the two.

"These are for you." Sakura raised an eyebrow while Naruto jumped and grabbed one. Sakura smiled and took hold of the other bell.

"I don't understand Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked.

"Who cares! We passed Sakura-chan!" Naruto cheered. Sakura smiled, and jumped up and down with her blonde haired teammate. Kakashi smiled happily at the two. It was than that Sakura and Naruto remembered their third teammate who was still half underground.

"Please sit down." Kakashi said, his black eye stared at Sasuke. Naruto and Sakura nodded and sat down on either side of the Uchiha. "Do you know why you passed?" Naruto shock his head no, as he held on to the bell. Sakura looked at her sensei and than to her two teammates.

"Team work." Sakura stated.

"Correct." Sakura smiled. "You and Naruto showed teamwork. Sasuke that's one thing you need to work on. Those who don't follow the rules are scum. But those who abandon a teammate is worse than scum. You passed not only because you two worked together. But you tried to help Sasuke even though you knew there where only two bells. So... how does lunch sound?" Kakashi smiled.

"Yes! I want Ichiraku!" Naruto cheered standing up. Sakura jumped up happy that she was finally one step closer to finding her family.

"Well, lets go." Kakashi said, turning around. Naruto and Sakura smiled at each other before slowly following after Kakashi.

"Hey! What about me!" Sasuke yelled. Kakashi turned around and smiled at him.

"I thought you didn't need help?" and with that the three left leaving a very angry Sasuke pushing up daisy's.

Itachi's dark eyes wondered across the wall that stood behind Pein's head. "You three will be going under cover at the up coming Chunin exams. This is a crucial mission. Konan will be under cover as you're jonin sensei."

"Hai." they nodded in understanding.

"We have about a month to get this read. Began working on you're henge." and with that Pein left the room.
