~Sakura's POV~

We were all back by the three tree stumps. Naruto was tied up in the middle, me and Ketsu were sitting on the ground to the left of him, and Sasuek was sitting to the right of Naruto. In front of us were four bentos, and Kakashi was looking at us.

"uh oh stomachs growling, huh that's to bad"

he said when Narutos Stomach growled really loud. I just rolled my eyes not really wanting to comment that I was actually not that hungry.

"oh by the way, about this exorcise well, I've decided I won't send any of you back to the academy"

Kakashi said, and Naruto got really excited and so did Ketsu, and I'm assuming the Uchiah as well, when I noticed a small smirk on his face, but I just showed a blank face to him. Sure if he was I was happy but i just got a feeling he wasn't telling us the whole thing yet.

"that means all three of us, all three of us"

Naruto yelled, and Kakashi gave us what I assume is a smile.

"yes, all three of you are being dropped from the program, permanently"

"WHAT"

Ketsu screamed, and I grabbed her wrist quickly to keep her by me, when I saw her about to take a step towards Kakashi.

"drop us from the program that means we can never become ninja, you said if we didn't get the bells then we'd be sent back to the academy, you can't just change your mind like that, why would you do that"

Naruto yelled why kicking his legs.

"because you don't think like ninja, you think like brats"

he said, and then the next thing anyone new, Sasuke ran at him, but Kakashi pinned him down and was sitting on him.

"you think it's all about you, you don't know what it means to be a ninja, you think it's a game huh"

He said, and i glared at him.

"why do you think we put you a squads, did you consider that question for one moment, you never once realized what this exorcise was really about, not even close"

"what it's about?"

Naruto said confused

"yes, that's what determines whether you pass, or fail"

"but you never fucking clarified what it's about"

Ketsu said trying to get out of my grasp so she could attack him, but I didn't let up my hold on her wrist for even a second.

"use, your head, why do you think we put in teams in the first place"

"how are we suppose to now, we didn't make the rules"

Naruto yelled and Kakashi sighed.

"it's so basic..team work, if all of you were to come and attack me, then you might have gotten the bells"

he said, and I glanced at the bells.

"but there's only 2 bells, meaning only two would pass which would lead to a fight...and then the team would break up"

I said, looking away from the bells and back to his face.

"exactly, I purposely pined all of you agented each other, I wanted to see if you could overcome that and put the team ahead of yourselves. A genin should have a natural feel for team work, but you it' never even crossed your mind"

he said, and then looked at me and Ketsu

"Sakura, Ketsueki though you two did show team work, you didn't care about the other members only each other..and when Naruto was right in front of you two you didn't lift a finger to help, and as for Sasuke you Ketsueki laughed at him being trapped, and refused to help him unless he pleaded"

he said. I kept a blank face and just stared at him, as for Ketsu I could see out of the corner of my eyes she was glaring at him.

"Naruto you do everything on your own, everything. And you Sasuke thought the others were so far beneath you they were worthless, arrogance. Ninja missions are carried out in teams, of course you need individual skills but teamwork is the most impotent thing, every shinobi understands this, when individuals put them self above the team it can lead to a failed mission, and death. for example..."

he said, and then quickly took out a kunai and held it to Sasuke's neck.

"Sakura kill Naruto know or Sasuke dies"

he said, and I just kept staring at him with a blank face.

"that's what happens on a mission"

he said and removed the kunai and put it back.

"the enemy takes a hostage and you have a impossible choice, and someone ends up dead"

'well at least I now it's not me and Ketsu'

i though with a inwardly smile.

"on every mission your life is on the line"

he said getting up off of Sasuke, and heading to the memorial stone for KIA ninjas. He said some long speech about it.

'Jashin-sama shut this idiot up he's annoying me'

I though when Naruto started to babble on, about how he wanted to have his name on there

"all these people on here are KIA"

Kakashi told him, and he said it sounded cool

"tsk, it means killed in action, they're all dead, gone, as in never coming back to the world of the living...baka"

Ketsu said, and then he got deathly quiet

'at least it shut him up'

I though

"this is a memorial stone some of my closes friends names are on here

Kakashi said, and I just stared at him.

'well they're all with Jashin-sama now, they all suffered and were welcomed with open arms'

I thought and after a while Kakashi finally spoke and said we could have another chance, after lunch, but that Naruto wasn't allowed any since he tried to steal it before, and that if we gave him some we would immediately fail.

So right now we were all sitting around Naruto and his stomach was growling none stop and was annoying as hell, but before me or Ketsu got a chance to shove fucking food down his throat to shut that fucking stomach of his up Sasuke held out some of his food to Naruto.

"wow so the Uchiha actually has a heart"

Ketsu laughed, and I smirked

"shut up, if we're going to get those bells Naruto needs to be at his best, and he can't do that why he's hungry"

Sasuke growled at her, and i nodded,

"he's right Ketsu"

I said, and held out my lunch to Naruto as well.

"tsk"

she said, and then stood up, and grabbed some rice with her chop sticks.

"huh what are you- gah"

Naruto said but was cute off when Ketsu shoved her chop sticks with the rice into his mouth.

"shut up Naruto, and eat the damn food"

she hissed and then pulled her chop sticks out of Narutos mouth so he could chew the food. Just after Naruto swallowed the rice, Kakashi came back in a poof.

"You"

he said, and Naruto freaked out, and Ketsu just stared at Kakashi blankly, like I was doing.

"you broke the rules, I hope you're ready for the punishment"

he said, and then made hand signs, and me and Ketsu along with Sasuke got into defensive stands.

"any last words"

he said, and Sasuke, me and Ketsu all glared at him

"but you said...YOU SAID THAT THERE WERE FOUR OF USE AND THATS WHY.. Ketsueki, Sakura, and.."

"we're all on this team and were all in it together"

"as much as I hate agreeing with the Uchiha he's right...for once in his life"

Ketsu said agreeing with Sasuke, and I smirked and nodded

"yeah, I hate to admit it to but Uchiha's right, we gave our lunch to him because we're all in this together as one"

"yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, believe it that's right"

Naruto yelled

"the four of you are one..that's your excuse."

he said glaring at us and then gave that weird mask, one eyed smile thing he does

"hm you pass"

he said

"huh"

Naruto and Ketsu said as she straightened up, but me and Sasuke were still in defensives stands...just in case.

"you pass/you're the first team that's ever succeeded, the others all did exactly as I said and fell into every trap, they couldn't think for themselves, a ninja must see threw deception, in the ninja world those who brake the rule are scum, that's true, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum"

"hmm"

i hummed with a smirk, and straightened up, and Ketsu Smiled like a mad women, Sasuke smirked, and Naruto looked like he was about to cry.

"the exercise s is over, everyone passes team 7 starts its first mission tomorrow"
