Sorry this is short again, but brain shortcut for a while and I have most important exams of my whole life coming up. It's a miracle my mother had not banned me from writing. I was half sure she would take my phone away bit she did not till now and so i was able to update this short chapter. Hopefully when the paper finishes I'll have pretty long chapters waiting for you. May be, after in April when everything finishes and I get my laptop
What if Sasuke was trained by Tsunade since he was young? What if she took him with her when she left the leaf only to return at the time of Uchiha massacre? How will it affect the story? Will it affect team 7 dynamics? Medic Sasuke. Non Itachi hating Sasuke. Best friend team 7 later. Maternal Tsunade. Mukuton Sasuke. Rinnegan sasuke.
Kakashi had the policy to look beneath the underneath. And so this test had been designed to help his gennin learn that. Of they could not figure it out then they were helpless. He was confident Naruto and Sakura would be able to. He had trained them himself for some time. But Sasuke was a new factor.
This child was Itachi's brother. In some way it felt like he was his responsibility. After all if he had been a good mentor then Itachi would have never snapped or he would still have but at least he could have sensed it coming right? It was not like Itachi had decided overnight that he would he would kill the clan to save the village right? But now was not the time to pounder upon it. He had some cute little gennin to harass.
He decided to take a peek and check on their progress and looked like he was right. The three of them were cooperating.
He could sense Naruto's chakra signature all around him and it was coming toward him at an amazing speed. He dodged out of habit only to see a kunai? So Naruto had henged his cloned into weapons for Sakura. He avoided them but noticed that they seemed to be leading him toward somewhere. He was no fool, he had served in ANBU and could recognise a trap for what it was. But since he was a nice sensei he decided to humour his team this once.
Suddenly a seal went off, but he had not triggered it, so who? He did not get to ponder it when he suddenly fell into a hole. Now Kakashi was a trained ninja so it should have been easy for him to climb out if not for all the tree branches holding his path. That technique was familiar to him, but Tenzo had been out on a mission so who could it be.
He felt something brush past his hip and he tensed. Looking down it was another branch. He had to get out and there was only one way he knew how. He did not want to use it but he could not see another way put. So he channelled chakra in his arm toward his hand and chirping sound erupted all around as his hand was covered in lightning.
Making a quick work of his skills he was out of the hole but in all his haste he somehow managed to loose his bells which he did not notice. His thoughts had taken a new turn. Who could have used the wood release? But wait, hadn't the Uchiha's file said something about it.
Lucky for him even in his thoughts he was alert enough to dodge the chakra infused punch aimed at him, but what he had not accounted for was that it split the earth causing an earthquake and loosing his balance.
Sakura and Naruto quickly arrived at the scene and somehow Sakura spotted the bells. Picking them up she grinned.
"We got them Kakashi-sensei, no we pass?" Kakashi knew there was no point in having them fight over the bell, after all they did know the meaning behind the test.
"Alright, you all pass. I'll go and register you as a team. Get ready, I'll register you for the chunnin exams" Kakashi had confidence that they could pass. And he needed time to go over Sasuke's file. It looked like he had overlooked a lot of things when he had first looked at it.
"But do we not need to complete the required quota for the number of missions?" Sakura raised a valid point. Ha had forgotten all about it.
"Well we'll manage somehow. If not we can have little Sasu-Chan convince our new Hokage to sign us up" Naruto nodded while Sasuke and Sakura looked confused.
"How will he?" Sakura did not know, ah yes a civilian born ninja.
"Why, Tsunade-sama is the new Hokage" and Sasuke looked ready to have a heart attack.
"Konoha would be in debts" nah, he was sure they will manage, somehow.
And that's all I could write. Any idea on the pairings or should I keep it as friendship.
