Naruto-Yoinokuchi: Pass or Fail?! Stop the Ringing in My Head

Minato groaned as his mother knocked on his door again telling him to get up. He rolled over right onto the floor with a loud thud.

"Man why should I have to get there on time." Minato muttered at he started to get up. "All three of us know that Kakashi-sensei isn't going to be there for another several hours. Hey what the?!"

Minato fell back down onto the floor trying to free himself from his sheets, which were wrapped around his body. He quickly tossed on his red and black sleeveless jumpsuit and ran out of his bedroom following the smell of his mother's ramen. Minato practically leaped into his seat at the table with drool hanging from his mouth.

"Minato, I just want you to know that your father and I are very proud of you." Minato rolled his eyes as his mother kissed him on the forehead.

"I know mom." Minato told her as he gulped down another mouthful of ramen, "I just hope I can pass Kakashi-sensei's test!"

"I'm sure you will do fine." Minato looked up to find his father, Naruto Uzumaki, and the current Hokage kissing his mother, Hinata Hyuga. "After all I did pass it."

"I know." Minato groaned at him as he took Minato's mostly full bowl of ramen away from him, "Please give me one little hint on what to expect, dad, please?"

Naruto laughed as his son begged him for some information on Kakashi's test, "Nope I can't do that, for an Uzumaki never cheats. Plus its good practice for you, and you shouldn't have had any of this. Didn't Kakashi tell you to skip breakfast?"

"Yeah but…Man I bet Taka and Akira know what the test is about!" Minato huffed as he raced towards his bedroom and came right back out with his orange pack and his headband in his hand. "I'll see you tonight for some killer ramen to celebrate my victory!"

Hinata laughed as Minato slammed the door behind him, "Minato sure is confident in himself."

"I'm sure he'll do fine Hinata, after all Minato is headstrong like you." Naruto told her as kissed her again.

Meanwhile, Minato, Taka, and Akira were just arriving at the memorial stone.

"Morning guys!" Minato greeted them only to get a death glare from both Uchiha's.

By the time Kakashi arrived it was well into the late morning and Akira had fallen back asleep leaving Taka and Minato to roughhouse without her nagging them.

"Morning everyone. Are you ready for your survival training?" Kakashi greeted them as Taka and Minato pulled themselves out of each other's death grip.

"Why do you have to be so late, Kakashi-Sensei?" Minato and Akira whined.

"Well you see there was this old lady who needed some help carrying her food back to her house." Kakashi gave them some sappy excuse for being late. "Well then let's get started."

Taka, Minato, and Akira watched as Kakashi set down an alarm clock, "What's that for?" Akira asked.

"Oh this nothing really, it's set for noon." Kakashi told them as he pulled out two bells from his pack, "Your task is quite simple really, all you have to do is take these bells away from me. That's all there is to it. If you can't get them by noon you go without lunch and will be tied to those posts over there while I eat my lunch in front of you."

"Say what?!" Akira yelled as her stomach and Taka's growled.

'Man, I'm glad I snuck in a few bites before my dad got up!' Minato thought as his teammates' stomachs growled.

"Hold on a minute." Taka finally spoke up, "Why are there just two bells, but three of us?"

"Oh, well that way there is at least one of you tied to the post, and ultimately disqualified for failing the mission. That one goes back to the academy for more training." Kakashi told them with a laugh. "But then again all three of you could flunk out as well. You can use any weapons including shuriken and kunai. If you are not prepared to kill me then you won't get the bells."

"Those weapons are too dangerous Sensei! You or even us can get seriously hurt by them!" Akira pointed out as her brother scoffed at the ground and Minato laughed.

"Don't worry Akira we have this one in the bag! Kakashi-sensei is the one going down, right Taka?" Minato laughed and boasted.

"In the real world, those with little to no talent often bark the loudest." Kakashi told them as anger rose in Minato.

"I'll show you no talent!" Minato yelled at Kakashi, as he pulled out a kunai ready to charge.

"No way!" Taka commented while Akira gasped as Kakashi appeared behind them and pined Minato to the ground.

"Calm down. I haven't said start yet, don't be too much like your father." Kakashi told Minato, as Taka and Akira backed away.

Kakashi let Minato go, as the Uchiha twins stared at him in disbelief.

'I didn't realize Kakashi was so fast. I doubt any of that taijutsu training I did with father will help me keep up with him or away from him.' Taka thought as Kakashi walked back to the alarm clock.

'That was just plain cool!' Akira thought as her inner personality kicked in, "Cha! That's what that Baka deserves a good pin down!"

"But on another note Minato did have the intent to kill me for that comment, so your future is becoming a bit brighter." Kakashi added, "Now shall we begin?"

The trio nodded as Kakashi began the test. Taka and Akira took off to find hiding spots in order to find the best opening to attack. This left Minato standing there with Kakashi's back to him, he took a deep breath as Kakashi turned around.

"Ninja must know how to conceal their movements and hide effectively." Kakashi told them as he turned around to face Minato, "Well seems like only two of you understand that much."

"You and me right now! Let's go!" Minato yelled at him.

'What the hell is he thinking?! Charging into a fight like that?' Taka thought.

"You know compared to the others you don't seem to have gotten much from your mother." Kakashi pointed out.

"Hey what's that suppose to mean?!" Minato yelled as he ran towards Kakashi.

'Aw man that Baka is going to get himself killed!' Akira moaned in her head as she watched from the treetops.

Minato hesitated only for a second as Kakashi reached into his pocket, 'Of course he's going for his book! But I'm not going to let him get a chance to!'

Minato focused some of his charka to his feet to give him a small boost of speed as he resumed his charge and tried to kick Kakashi right in the chest. However Kakashi simply dodged Minato's kick by ducking under it.

"Shinobi battle techniques part one, taijutsu, the physical part." Kakashi said as Minato came around to find Kakashi squatting down reading his book.

"Aw come on Sensei, taijutsu is hand to hand combat. Put away your book so we can do this." Minato whined.

"What are you waiting for Minato, an invitation? Make your move." Kakashi asked the boy.

"This isn't fair." Minato muttered under his breath.

"What isn't fair, the fact that it doesn't matter what I'm doing because with your weak attacks I could be eating my lunch while you try to land a blow on me." Kakashi bluntly told him.

"Oh yeah!" Minato smirked as he covered the area with shadow clones.

Minato sent in his shadow clones only to watch Kakashi block or dodge every one of their attacks and finished the clone off before the next clone attacked. Minato charged at Kakashi prepared to punch him. Suddenly Kakashi appeared behind Minato.

"Don't let your enemy get behind you all the time." Kakashi told him as he formed the hand sign of tiger.

"Could it be a hand sign for a fire style?" Akira whispered as she quickly make up her mind to help Minato, "Minato! Get out of there! Kakashi-sensei's going to use a fire style jutsu!"

"Huh a what?" Minato asked puzzled as he turned his head around.

"Not quite, Leaf village secret finger jutsu: a thousand years of pain!" Kakashi attacked Minato sending him flying trough the air.

"Ah! And to think I would help him out a bit! Now I've given up my location!" Akira whined in frustration as Minato rolled around the ground holding onto his behind.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! That was so unfair Kakashi-sensei!" Minato yelled at the Jounin, "I'm not going to be able to sit for weeks!"

Akira got note of Minato's plan. 'So that's what you have up your sleeve Minato! Not bad at all! This might work!'

Suddenly Kakashi was grabbed from behind by Minato's leftover shadow clones, "What the?!"

"You let your guard down sensei!" Akira told him as she came down for a deadly blow from above.

"Yeah! You were too focused on me to realized that I had hidden some of my shadow clones in the water!" Minato added as he rushed to help Akira.

Akira's fist made contact to flesh, but not Kakashi's flesh but rather Minato's causing the shadow clones to dispel.

"Ah! Minato are you alright?!" Akira asked him as he lay there in the crater she just made.

'Those two are complete idiots!' Taka sighed as he waited, 'Kakashi is a full pledge Jounin who taught our parents, who happen to be the strongest three next to the legendary Sainin. Besides that he got them with a replacement jutsu, replacing himself with Minato or one of his clones.'

Minato and Akira stood back-to-back scanning the area for Kakashi-sensei. Akira suddenly felt Minato move, she chose to ignore him as she scanned the area. She looked to her left then right, then she looked up towards the treetops. Suddenly she felt something grab her ankle from below.

"What?! He got me from below!" Akira yelled as she was pulled down into the ground.

"Shinobi battle techniques part two, ninjutsu. Earth style: Headhunter jutsu." Kakashi informed her of the technique.

"Wah!" Taka turned his attention from his sister to Minato to find the idiot caught in one of Kakashi's traps.

Minato bounced from his ankles hanging upside down trying to grab the bell on the ground.

"You Baka! Of course it was a trap!" Akira's head yelled at him.

"Ah! No way! Kakashi-sensei decapitated Akira and left her head there to haunt me!" Minato started to freak out.

"Think before you use a jutsu otherwise your opponent might use it against you. Oh and if the bait is obvious don't take it. A ninja must see through deception." Kakashi lectured them.

"We get that already Kakashi-sensei!" Akira yelled at him from behind.

"No you think you get it which isn't the same as actually getting it. Get it?" Kakashi told them as Taka made his move.

Taka plastered Kakashi with a ton of shuriken, "Wa! Wasn't that going over the top Taka?!" Minato yelled at the Uchiha, but he was already gone.

"Shoot! How stupid can I be? Of course he wanted me to think his guard was down to lure me right out of my spot." Taka spat as he ran from his hiding spot. 'If only I had time to have added wire to those shuriken I wasted!'

Akira pulled herself out of the ground and tossed a kunai towards Minato freeing him from the trap as she ran off after her brother.

"I won't let you lay a finger on my brother!" She whispered as she stumbled onto Kakashi quicker than she expected to.

"Behind you Akira."

Akira turned around to find Kakashi right behind her, "Oh-No!" she yelled as a whirlwind of leaves surrounded her.

"Oh my! What just happened?" Akira looked around, "Kakashi-sensei? Taka? Minato? Anybody?"

"Ak…kira?" Akira gasped at that voice.

"Taka!" Akira turned around to find her brother lying up against a tree covered in blood, shuriken, and kunai. "Taka?!"

"Don't worry…ab…bout…me." Taka told her as he coughed. "Help…Min…nato!"

Akira gulped as she turned to her right to find Minato pined to a tree with a rope around his neck and his body covered like Taka's.

"AHHH!!!!!" Akira let out a loud scream as she fell to her knees.

"I might have over done it again, oh well. She has to be able to see through these things." Kakashi commented on the scream.

Taka made a sudden stop at the sound of his sister screaming.

"Shinobi battle techniques part three, genjutsu, the illusion jutsu. Akira studied it in class and yet she still couldn't see through it." Kakashi told him as he appeared in front of Taka.

"No Genjutsu stops my sister." Taka told him.

"Maybe not the ones you are used to, but mine are much stronger than those used in the academy." Kakashi added.

"It and your simple traps and tricks still won't be enough to stop me. I'm not like Akira and Minato." Taka told him with a death glare of a thousand cold knives.

"Say that after you get one of these bells, my little Sasuke wantabe." Kakashi told him as he walked towards him.

Taka growled at him as he charged forward kicking Kakashi's book right out of his hand, "I'm not going to let you have a chance to read it anyway!"

Taka delivered another kick to which Kakashi grabbed his ankle stopping the kick. He followed up with a punch that Kakashi caught with his other hand. Taka then whipped his other foot around and hooked it to the back of Kakashi's neck, pulling Kakashi towards him and the ground. Taka used this as an escape hole to free himself from Kakashi's grip and jumped over Kakashi pushing his feet into Kakashi's back. Taka slided to a stop and pulled out a few shuriken and tossed them at Kakashi. Kakashi sidestepped the shuriken only to trigger Taka's hidden trap wire.

"Hm? A trap?!" Kakashi commented as he dodged the on coming kunai, 'He did all that just to get me into his trap?'

"I'm not done yet!" Taka yelled.

Taka repeated his first combo of attacks only this time he didn't try to attack Kakashi again with his other leg he went after the bells. Taka smirked as his finger felt the coldness of the metal bell. Kakashi managed to toss Taka away from him before Taka could get a good grip on the bell.

'This boy really is as good as Sasuke says he is.' Kakashi thought as Taka landed ready to strike again, "Impressive you might just be able to pass this test and surpass your father."

'This is good as long as I keep right on top of him like this there's no way he can read or set up foolish traps for me. Now all I have to do is wait for Minato and Aki to find where we are at, then we strike together. While Minato and Aki distract him, I can go after the bells. It's a win, win plan.' Taka thought.

Meanwhile, Akira was just releasing herself from Kakashi's genjutsu.

"Humph that was just mean Kakashi-sensei!" Akira huffed as she brushed herself off, "Oh Taka may need my help! I better find him!"

While Taka faced off with Kakashi and Akira searched for Taka, Minato found the box lunches that Kakashi had promised them, and he's small amount of breakfast was wearing off.

"Hm, I'm sure Kakashi-sensei and the others won't mind if I take a little snack break." Minato laughed as he started to open one of the boxes.

"What are you doing?" Minato looked up to find Kakashi standing over him.

"I um, uh you see uh…aw man!" Minato mumbled as Kakashi drug him to a post and tied him onto it.

"Now stay put while I go get Akira and Taka." Kakashi told him as he turned into a puff of smoke.

"Are you kidding me?!" Minato yelled as he wiggled on the post, "That was just a shadow clone!"
