Yep, thats right its only been one day. Great huh! Anyway this is the LAST day for time and time again and A new light will be online. So please if you think you got what it takes then please come and talk to me. If not then It will be deleted. Now that the depressing topic is over, lets get on with the story.

It was a bright new day in Konoha and Naruto was enjoying it with a smile. Naruto decided to walk instead of run to the academy. The villagers looked at him with the usual glares but some even smiled at him. Naruto was wearing the same thing he wore when he returned to the village. Black sandals, this time dark blue Jonin pants with bandages around his ankles. He had the Gogyō sanjo hooked to his left side of his pants. He wore a black muscle shirt over a fishnet shirt. This time he was wearing his new headband. This headband he didn't know why the old man gave him this worn headband till he asked him.

Flashback

Naruto and Iruka were eating at their favorite restaurant, Ichiraku ramen. "I so proud of you Naruto, but can you promise me that you will warn us next time you steal the forbidden scroll." Iruka said with a warn smile. He was still healing from Mizuki's attack. "Naruto I want you to have something." Iruka said taking off his headband. "Naruto I've seen you grow, and mature as the years rolled by. I guess somewhere along that time you became somewhat of a younger brother to me. So please I want you to have my headband."

Naruto looked at Iruka in shock as a smile came a crossed his face. "Iruka-sensei I…" Naruto couldn't say anything as the third Hokage walked into the restaurant. "Ah there you are Naruto. I have something for you for your graduation." Sarutobi said pulling out an old worn headband. "This Naruto belonged to the forth hokage. I think since you have his sword, you should wear his headband. He would be proud of you Naruto" Never before has Naruto been so speechless.

"Iruka-sensei thank you for all you've done for me. You too are like a big brother to me." Iruka looked at Naruto and nodded as a way of saying he understands. "I understand Naruto. The forth Hokage was always your hero I understand that you want to were his headband." Naruto smiled at Iruka as he gave back Iruka's headband.

"Don't be so down Iruka even though the forth Hokage may be my hero I'm just glad I have someone like you to guide my way in to the shinobi kingdom. So thank you. For ever thing." Iruka couldn't help to give his own variation of Naruto's fox smile at that statement. "Now that that's all done how bout some ramen old man." Naruto said with a twinkle in his eyes. The third thought nothing of it and sat down.

"Alright hey Teuchi-san just send the bill to the old man here okay got a go you guys see you." Naruto said running like the hounds of hell were after him. Sarutobi looked at Naruto discarded bowls of ramen and nearly had a heart attack. There were about fifty empty bowls of ramen. "Ahem!" Teuchi said as he held his hand out looking at the old man with greedy eyes as he sat down the bill.

The third looked at Iruka trying to find help, only seeing a dust cloud shape of Iruka. Hiruzen looked at the bill as his eyes widen to an extent to where they nearly popped out. "NARUTO!!"

000000000000000000000000000

Naruto couldn't help but fell bad for the old man but common he just came back with no money what do you expect. Naruto had a nice time at the Hyuga's mansion. Naruto couldn't help but chuckle when Hanabi saw Naruto. It took all of Hanabi to not squeal and gloom Naruto. Hanabi always thought of Naruto as a big brother. Whenever Naruto came to see Hinata, he would always play with her whenever Hinata was training. He was the big brother she never had and Naruto was glad to be able to fill that roll.

Flashback

"Naruto-nee-san your back!" Hanabi said as she ran to hug the blond. It took all the will power she had not to tackle the blond during dinner but now that dinner was over she was free to hug the blond for all that's worth.

"I missed you Naruto-nee-san. When you left, me and Hinata-nii-san trained a lot. I've gotten really good, you want to see." Hanabi said looking up to Naruto. Hinata couldn't help but smile at her younger sister. She always had to act like the council told her to act. She could never be herself, in fact neither could Hinata.

"Sure Hanabi-chan I would love to see." Naruto said as he watched her do kata's over and over.

Flashback end

Naruto couldn't help but smile. He always loved Hanabi like he loved Sakura. Then there was his time with Hinata.

Flashback

"Naruto-kun I'm glad you came. I have something to tell you" Hinata said nervously. Naruto looked at her as they walked a crossed the Hyuga's main garden. There was a full moon out that day and Hinata never looked any beautiful under it.

"What is it Hinata-chan." Naruto looked at her as he was taken in by her looks. "Naruto-kun I always wanted to say this but when Kenji was about to slit my throat I only had one regret I never did with my life." Hinata said, as she looked eyes with the blond.

"What is it Hinatmhpp!!" Naruto tried to finish but Hinata shoved her lips with his cutting off his speech. Naruto's hands circled Hinata's slim waist as he kissed her back.

Hinata was in heaven. Her dream was coming true. She was kissing Naruto and he wasn't rejecting her and he kissed to damn good. Her toes curled with excitement as she drew back to get air.

"Naruto-kun…I have always admired you. Over time when I got to know you better. My feelings grew. They were stronger then ever. I…like you Naruto-kun. I like you a lot. I fell happy whenever I'm near you. When I thought I was going to die, but as soon as I saw your eyes I knew that I was going to be ok. I like you Naruto. I don't know if its love but I don't care. I never want to lose you." Naruto just stood there in shock he couldn't stop his heart from pounding it was almost painful. "Hinata I had a felling you liked me, but I just didn't know how much. Hinata when I almost lost you I felt that I almost lost a piece of my self, but…I'm not ready for any kind of relationship yet. I not refusing I'm just not ready. You and everyone else means the world to me...no you guys are my world. Hinata will you do me one favor. Will you wait for me?" Naruto said with a foxy smile

Hinata let a few tears slide down her face. He wasn't rejecting her he's just not ready yet. So there's hope, and she'll be damn if she will just let it slide. If theirs one thing Hinata Hyuga has, its patience.

"Of course Naruto-kun I'll wait forever if I had to." Hinata said as she gave to blond a hug as she let her tears fly freely. If anyone had looked at the open window they would have seen Hiashi with a gentle smile on his face. 'Hinata your mother would be proud of the men you chose to love. If my thoughts are right then I have one thing to say to Naruto. Take care of her. Help her grow into even more of and adult Naruto. You have my blessing.'

Flashback end

0000000000000000000000000

Naruto smiled at that memory as he turned to look at the sun it seems if he didn't hurry up he's going to be late. So with that thought in mind he jumped on the nearest building and ran his way to the academy.

Academy

Naruto had about five minutes before they would know what teams they would be on so Naruto as silently as he could made his way to his classroom. A bead of sweat dripped from Naruto's head as he round the conner. He smiled as he wasn't seen yet. He didn't fell like losing his shirt today. But that dream ended when he turned the conner. About five minutes later you could see Naruto running away from a ragging horde of fan girl.

If Naruto hated anything it was the one game all girls of different ages played with him.

"KUSO!! I HATE THE FOX HUNT!!: Naruto yelled as he ran outside.

In Iruka's class

"Hey Sasuke-kun how are you this morning?" Sakura said to the raven haired boy siting in the corner. Sasuke may never admitted it but he cares more about Sakura then anyone. To him it's a joy when ever she talks to him. "I'm fine Sakura. Have you seen Naruto this morning. It seems he hasn't shown up yet." Sasuke said raising an eyebrow. She only shook her head no as Ino sat one row above them with Shikamaru in tow. "You know I haven't seen him lately. What about you Hinata."

Hinata couldn't help but blush at the memory of what happen last night. "I saw him last night. He ate dinner with us." Hinata said with a blush that was bigger then normal. Ino noticed the blush and stared to tease the pale Hyuga. "Really…what did you do after dinner huh Hinata-chan." Ino said with a slick smirk on her face.

At that instant Hinata reverted back into her old self. "W-w-w-what do y-y-you m-mean Ino-chan." Hinata said as her face exploded in a deeper red as dirty thoughts ran though her head. Ino saw this as her smirk got even bigger. "You didn't take him up to your room and ravage him did you?" Hinata's eyes glazed over as a small amount of blood ran down her nose. Sakura saw this and just couldn't let Ino have all the fun. "Yeah I bet you gave him one hell of a night didn't you."

Thud

Hinata just couldn't take it any more and pass out with a huge smile on her face. Ino and Sakura couldn't hold it in and laughed there asses off. It took a few minutes for Hinata to wake up as she glared playfully at the two girls. She gave a huff and stuck out her cheeks. "You guys are mean." Hinata said turning her back on them. Even Sasuke had to admit that he enjoyed their company.

"I'm just playing Hinata. Your just to easy to tease." Ino said as the door opened. Naruto walked breathing like he just ran around Konoha five times. His hair was a mess, well more then usual. He shirt was ripped showing off his fishnet shirt that didn't leave anything to the imagination. 'Well the good news is that they never got my pants.' Naruto said as he smiled.

00000000000000000000000000

"Kit I'm starting to think your gay." Kyuubi said with a deadpan expression. 'I AM NOT GAY!!' Naruto yelled at the fox. Kyuubi only scoffed at that remark "If your not gay, why did you run! You could have finally became a man!" Naruto only glared inwardly at the fox. 'I'm not a pervert like you. So give it a rest. Besides I'll have sex when I good damn ready thank you very much.' Naruto said as he made his way to his seat. "Translation: Gay. As. Hell." 'FUCK YOU! "No thanks I'm strait." "haha you guys are fun to be around." Toko laughed at the two.

When Naruto made it to his seat, he glared at his desk mumbling about bastards and foxes. Sasuke seeing his friend's anger decided to take it upon himself to ask the blond what's wrong. "Damn Naruto what happen? Didn't get any sleep last night." Naruto looked Sasuke dead in the eye and said "Fan girls." A violent shiver ran down Sasuke once he heard his friends reason. He placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder and said, "I feel your pain my friend."

Once everything calmed down well mostly. Some of the girls were looking at Naruto's chest. "So who do you thinks going to be on teams." Sasuke said while looking at the blond. "Um well I know that the one with the worst grades and the one with the best grades are partnered with each other. So me and you will be together. The thing is I have no clue as to who the third person on our team is." Naruto said in deep thought.

Just at that moment Iruka walked in with a clipboard. Iruka stared to talk about the life of a ninja, not that Naruto cares. He knows being a ninja is hard but he'll still face it head on no matter what.

"OK I'll now address the teams." Iruka said as he looked around the room. He has never been so proud of them in his life. But that doesn't mean they changed very much. He knew that some would be happy with their teams and some won't. He already had a good idea who was going to pass their exams to become real genin.

'Come on Iruka-sensei please say you put me on Naruto-kun team.' Ino thought to her self-relieved he hasn't said Naruto's name yet.

'Ohh I hope I'm on Naruto-kun's team.' Hinata thought to herself as she watched the blond from the forth row.

'I hope I'm on Sasuke-kun's or Aniki's team.' 'Hell yeah Me, Sasuke-kun and Aniki would make a perfect team.' Her inner Sakura yelled as she thought of what her team would be like.

"Team 7 will be: Uzumaki Naruto

This causes all of the girls to look at Iruka with complete attention.

Uchiha Sasuke

This caused another reaction to the class. The two best and hottest guys on the same team, every girl in the class glared at the chunin daring him not to say their name.

Naruto just smirked at Sasuke as he nodded to his friend with a smirk of his own.

"And the last member of team seven will be…

Iruka let a bead of sweat run down his forehead as he could fell the glares on him not to mention the small killer intent.

Haruno Sakura."

Naruto and Sasuke and Naruto smiled, well Sasuke smirked while Sakura throw her hands in the air with a cry of joy. Hinata gave a sigh to show here disappointment while Ino loudly swore up a storm. "Anyway team 8 well be Aburame Shino, Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba. Team 9 is still in rotation. Team10 will be Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino and Akamichi Choji. Now that you know your teams you may go to lunch but be back in an hour to meet your sensei." The kids nodded as they ran out to find some food.

0000000000000000000000000000

A few Hours later

"KUSO!! WHERE IS HE DAMNIT!! WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR TWO FRICKIN HOURS!!" Sakura yelled to no one as she glared at the door. Naruto not really used to this just watched here a little warily. He never seen her like this. 'Man, I guess she grew a spine while I was away.' Naruto thought as the door opened.

A man that was 6 foot tall with black shinobi with bandages around his ankles just like Naruto. He was wearing black jonin pants, black jonin shirt with a jonin flack jacket on. He seemed to also wear a mask over his mouth and nose. What strikes Naruto strange was that he wore his forehead protector sideways over his right eye. The man also had gravity defying white hair.

The man seemed to look around not showing any type of emotions, said. "My first impression of you three…" The man said as Naruto and the others seemed to hang on his every word.

"I don't like you" Said the man as his eye formed a crescent moon. Meet me on the roof said the man as he proofed away leaving his glaring students behind.

000000000000000000000000000000000

A few minuets later

"OK lets get to know each other a little better now. One at a time please." The man said in a board tone. Sakura looked at the man in confusion. "OK but what do you want us to say?" The man looked towards the sky almost like he didn't even want to be here. "Things you like, hate. Dreams for the future. Stuff like that. You, the one in the pink, you first." Naruto understood what he was talking about but wanted to know his sensei batter as well. "Well why don't you start. So we have a clue who you are and to see how its done."

"Me, I'm Kakashi Hatake. Things I like and things I hate…I don't fell like telling you that." This caused the group to raise and brow at the man. "My dreams for the future…never really thought about it. As for my hobbies, I have lots of hobbies." Sakura looked at Naruto with a deadpan expression. "Well that was lame. All we learned was his name."

"Well you in the pink you start." The now known Kakashi told our pink haired friend. "My name is Sakura Haruno. My likes include hanging with my friends, my big brother, and gardening. I dislike bully, and bad people. My hobbies include shopping and gardening. My dream of the future is to be a respectable shinobi and to start a family with a certain someone." Sakura said with a blush.

'Hmm. I was sure I would get a fan girl again. It seems I struck gold this time.' Kakashi said with a smile. "OK raven you next."

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. My like are the few friends I have. My Hobbies include training. I dislike the way the village treats one of my friend and a certain genin." At the mention of the genin Sasuke leaked out a small amount killer intent. But it went away after a few seconds. "My dream for the future…is to rebuild my clan and to kill a certain man." Sasuke said as his face darken as he looked at the ground. Naruto looked at Sasuke with a small amount of pity. 'Sasuke…Sakura and I won't let you go threw this alone.' Naruto thought to his raven haired friend.

'It seems with the start of Naruto befriending him and the gaining of friends hasn't stopped the hatred from taking over his heart. I wonder who's the genin that he hates?' Kakashi thought to himself. "Alright your next" Kakashi said pointing to Naruto.

"My Name is Naruto Uzumaki. My likes are developing different types of jutsu, my family, and my friends. My dislike is the way I'm treated by the village. My hobbies, as said before are making different types of jutsus, training, and mastering and understanding every aspect of my jutsu." Kakashi held back his surprise. 'That's impressive. Most people only want to learn a jutsu, They never want to understand and learn how its done.'

"My dream for the future is to be respected, all over the shinobi nations. Also to gain the title of Hokage, and finally to raise a family and start a clan." Sasuke and Sakura smiled at the blond while Kakashi gave a smile as he watched the peaceful look pass over Naruto's face.

"Alright now that we all know each other, Its time I tell you why were all here. We will start our first mission tomorrow." Naruto once again raised and eyebrow at the strange man. "Really? What mission are we going to have." Naruto asked the cyclopes.

"This task is something the four of us will do together. Well be doing a survival exercise." This cause and angry look passed over Sasuke's face. "But sensei, we already did this back at the academy. That's how we got here."

"This won't be an like anything you experienced at the academy." Kakashi said leaving the three to look at the man funny. "Alright what kind of trainings is it then." Sasuke said as the two nodded. Kakashi finally had enough and started chuckling. Sakura gave the man a glare and said, "Whats so funny that was a normal question."

Kakashi didn't miss a heartbeat and said, "Well its just that, Out of the 28 that passed and one who had to drop out because of family things there are only now 27 graduates. Since this is how its supposed to be, the ones who just came here only 9 will become genin. The other 18 well be weeded out and sent back to the academy. In other words this is a make it or break it test. You fail you get sent back to the academy. The passing rate of this test is at least 66 percent." This cause the new squad of wannabe-genin's to flinch back in shock.

"If thats the case, why did we have a graduation test anyway." Sakura said trying to stay calm. "Hmm…well that was to select the candidates of people who might be able to become genin or not." Kakashi said nonchalantly. "That's how it is. I make the rules. Be at training ground 7 at 5 AM. Oh before I forget bring your Ninja gear"

'Well this sucks. All my hard work, and I could be sent back to the academy. NO! I won't let that happen. I will not fail.' Naruto thought to himself.

'I will not get weed out by this test. No way!' Sasuke thought glaring at the ground.

'No way in hell am I going to be weeded out. Not after all that training I did.' 'Yeah tell em girl will kick his ass! SHANNARO!'Sakura's inner self yelled as she dropped kick a Kakashi looking punching bag.

Kakashi turned his back to them and said, "Well that's it your dismissed. Oh yeah you better skip breakfast or else…you'll puke."

00000000000000000000000000000000

8:00 tomorrow at training ground 7

"Yo!" Kakashi said as he poofed into the training grounds. "Your Late!!" Sakura yelled to her teacher. They all had the look of death as they glared at there teacher for being three hours late. Kakashi just rubbed the back of his head as he pulled out two bells.

"Yeah sorry about that. A black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long way." This was meet with shock silence. "Well now lets get started." Kakashi said as he placed an alarm clock on a stump. "Now the its set for noon. And heres your assignment. You just have to take these bells from me that's all there is to it. Now if you can't get them buy lunch, you won't get lunch. You'll also be tied to that post as you watch me eat mine." This caused the group to glare at there sensei. 'That's why he said to skip breakfast. He's making it harder on us.'

"Wait a minute there are three of us why are there two bells" Kakashi smiled at Sakura. 'Hmm. I wonder if she'll pass my expectations.'

Kakashi gave his patented eye smile and said, "That's because one of you will be tied to the post and ultimately disqualify for not completing the mission. That one goes back to the academy. But then again all three of you could fail too. You may use any weapon you like. And I mean any weapons. If you are not ready to kill me then your not going to take the bell. You may now begin." With that said his tree charges sped of into the surrounding forest.

0000000000000000000000000000

"Here's your first lesson. Ninjas must be able to conceal their movements as to not be detected." Kakashi said as he looked for his pupils. 'Hmm. It seems that they get the general idea. Sasuke is in the tree to the right. Sakura is hiding in the bush to the left, and…interesting. I can't seem to put an exact location on Naruto.'

With Sakura

'OK lets see what I have to work with.' Sakura looked around only seeing leaves on the ground. 'Well got to make due with what you got.' With that thought Sakura made five handseals and, "Ha Shuriken no jutsu" (Leaf Shuriken Technique) Kakashi looked up to see three trees sway as there leafs came for him. Kakashi took out a Kunai and started deflecting the leafs. 'Nice just. She puts charka into the trees and can manipulate the leafs making them as sharp as a kunai.' It seems that the leaves kept on coming as she went to another tree. She cast her Jutsu over and over again. Making Kakashi pull out another kunai.

"You like the jutsu? I developed it Kakashi-sensei. This jutsu doesn't take much charka but the leaves are as sharp as can be. Since each tree has a certain amount of leafs on them, they will come at you until all of the leaves are off the tree." Sakura said as she made her way to another tree. Once again doing the handsigns and calling forth another barrage of leafs at him.

Kakashi having no other choice jumped out of the way of the jutsu. Sakura gave a smirk as she started to throw kunais with exploding tags. She aimed the kunais at the precise location at where Kakashi was going to land. This made all the things harder on Kakashi. He started to run across the ground to avoid the deadly explosives. That didn't mean that he came out clean. He had a few close calls but he was fine just a little dirty.

He wasn't expecting Sakura to jump out and attack him head on. She throw a punch at his midsection and was surprise at the power of the punch. Sakura learned to use her anger to her advantage making her hits very hard. Over time she learned to do it automatically.

Sakura kept throwing punches and kicks at Kakashi. Kakashi wouldn't have much trouble with this if she didn't keep leading him to the traps she made while he was deflecting the leafs. He steed on a rope and nearly got blown to bits with a barrage of exploding tags.

'Damn she good. It seems she did pass my expectations. Her mind is sharp and she's focus on me but still has an idea of whats around her. Not bad Sakura. Not bad at all.' Kakashi thought as he was punched in the jaw and thrown into the air for not paying attention. Kakashi did a back flip in mid flight, while Sakura did another few handseals and shouted, "Ninpō: Kusa Senbon no Jutsu! (Ninja art: Grass Senbon Technique)" Kakashi looked down to see a patch of grass become sharp and looked deadly if he so much as landed on it.

"Kuso! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Kakashi said as he let his clone trow him out of the way as he landed on a tree. He looked to Sakura to see her panting and glaring at the man. She knew she couldn't win like this and retreated back to the safety of the woods to regain her chakra.

Kakashi gave a sigh of relief. "Maybe I shouldn't read my book now. If she was the weakest of the three I'm going to need both of my hands." Kakashi said as he bowed his head in defeat.

With Naruto

"Wow Sakura really improved." Naruto said from afar. He was tempted to go and show Kakashi what he could do but held back and watched Sakura fight, he was very impressed at what he saw. Naruto thought her almost every thing she knows about the her style. Now she moved with a combination of Tenten's style to Ino's but she also seemed to mix hers with it, proving she was very deadly and should not be taken lightly.

"She's good. She showed grace and style in her movements an thought of every move one step of the way. Now that's what it takes to be a ninja" Kyuubisaid as he watched Sakura fight. He was impressed that a girl who used to be so weak and insecure had that much power

"Yes she was good for someone her age. She's at least mid genin level now. But she still has a few weakness that can be worked out." Goyo said as he smiled at the girl.

"Something doesn't add up here. Why would they form us in groups of three if they where just going to separate us. That doesn't make any since. Whats the point that I'm just not getting here. How did Tenten do…" It just hit Naruto like a katon jutsu.

"Ah! He does have a brain. I see you figured out the point of this whole ordeal."Kyuubi said as he gave a smirk. 'Wait you knew why didn't you tell me.' Naruto said and inwardly glared at the fox."I wasn't the only one that knew the old man knew too. Besides you would never learned if we told you everything. We can give you hints but you need to grow on your own." Kyuubi said as he glared right beck at the blond. "He's right Naruto. So please calm yourself and think of your next move." Goyo said calming the blond.

'Alright lets see. Sasuke has yet to move and Sakura went and hid in a tree. I'll go to Sasuke first. He must be waiting for Kakashi to drop his guard.' With that said and done Naruto leaped off to find his friend.

0000000000000000000000000000000

Few minutes later

"Sasuke!" Sasuke was unprepared and thew a kunai at Naruto only for it to be caught by the handle. "Damn Sasuke you almost killed me." Naruto whispered to his friend. "Sorry. I thought you were Kakashi. What do you want anyway." Sasuke said with a frown. "Wow somebody's a little pissed whats wrong with you." Sasuke sent a glare at Kakashi. "He never lets down his guard. I'm been trying to find an opening but I just can't find one. Its frustrating." Naruto nodded at that excuse. "Fine I'm here to tell you to get Sakura and come find me at the memorial stone just a little ways where the stumps are." Sasuke looked at the blond then shrugged when he notice the look in his eye. "Yeah ok we'll be there." Sasuke said as jumped out of his hiding place.

Another few minutes later

"OK Naruto were here now, whats this about?" Sasuke said Naruto looked at the two and nodded. "Let me ask you both something. What is the point of this test?" Sasuke and Sakura looked at Naruto like he lost his mind.

"Naruto-nee-san. The point of this test is to get the bells." Sakura said to her brother. She decided she wouldn't call him Aniki on missions. "Sakura let me ask you something? Why would he put us in a three man group if he was just going to separate us from the beginning. Add to the fact that the only way to graduate is to get the bells he's holding." Naruto said looking deathly serous at the moment. Sasuke thought about it for a minute before he stared at Naruto in shock. "Wait a minute your right. There is no point in any of this. I get what your trying to say. Your saying that there is more to it then this. Maybe the bell aren't the only thing we have to get." Sasuke said looking at his teammates. "Or maybe…" Sakura said as she to realized the true plot behind this. "The bells aren't what this test is about." Naruto said finishing Sakura's thought.

"But if the bells aren't what this test is about then what is." Sakura said very confused at the moment. "That's simple Sakura. Its so obvious now." Sasuke said smirking. "Sakura answer me this whats the point of a three man cell? But not only that, but why do fresh out of the academy have to fight a jonin who has more power, speed, and Jutsu's then us?"

Sakura bowed her head and thought. Normally she loves puzzles but not under these conditions. "Wait! I get it!! No fresh out of the academy student can ever beat a jonin. So there is no way to beat him alone. But together…" Sakura said with a smile covering her face.

"We have a chance to pass. The true meaning of this test is not about the bells…" Sasuke said standing up with a smirk glued to his face. Sakura joined him as she stood by Naruto's side. "Is by teamwork." Naruto finished as he told them his plan.

A few minutes later

'Well its almost time. Shame really, I actually like this team a little.' Kakashi thought as he looked at the clock It only had five minutes left. Kakashi snapped his attention back to his surroundings as he rolled out of the way of the sharpen leafs heading right for him. But before he could do anything he saw four shurikens heading right for him on all sides. Kakashi didn't seem to care at first but that was after he heard Naruto's voice. "Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique)!" As the four shuriken went from one to one-hundred. Now Kakashi's surround on all sides with a black metal of death. Doton: Dochuu Eigyo! (Earth Realease: Underground Fish Projection)

When the smoke cleared Kakashi was no where to be seen. "Where is he? Up, Left, Right, behind?" Sasuke said as he and Naruto hid behind a tree. Before the two had a chance to find there now rouge sensei was, an arm came out of the ground and latch onto the two boys legs Doton: Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu!" (Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Technique)

With that all said and done Kakashi pulled both Naruto and Sasuke under ground leaving their head the only thing visible. "I was right beneath your nose. So you two got anything to say to that."

Naruto turned towards Sasuke and glared at their teacher. "Actually yeah." Both Sasuke and Naruto gave of a foxy grin that put Kakashi on edge. "Boom." The two exploded leaving Kakashi to jump out of the smoke and fire. That didn't mean he had time to relax.

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"

Naruto and Sasuke yelled as from a tree above him While Kakashi was dodging Naruto took off his 500 pounds weights. He only had about 20 seconds to get the bells and he was going to run like his life depended on it. With that he took off in a flash. (He's as fast as Lee is with his weights on) While Naruto was taking off his weights Sakura and Sasuke doubled teamed Kakashi in a straight out Taijutsu battle.

Sasuke threw a punch at Kakashi's face while Sakura tried to sweep Kakashi's feet. Kakashi took them slightly serious and backhanded Sasuke, while she kicked Sakura in the face.

(A/D: You guys are lucky. I was plaining on stopping right here. I flipped a coin and you all won. Be grateful.)

Naruto caught up a bit of blood as a knee was slammed in his gut.

"I'm sorry Naruto but you didn't make it in time." Kakashi said as Naruto slumped to the ground. Sakura and Sasuke looked at the ground in desire. "Well Team 7, I have one thing to say to you all." Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura looked up at the jonin knowing what he was going to say next.

"You pass."

The three looked at the jonin in shock. Kakashi couldn't help but smile at the three gapping faces. Naruto seemed to be the only one to actually talk. "We-we pass?"

"Yeah you do. You guys are the only team who ever found the true meaning of my test. Teamwork. Because you showed me you guys can act like a team, this gives you the right to be called my students. If you guys remember anything with your time with me then know these words: A ninja must see threw deception and In the ninja world those who brake the rules are scum; but, those who abandon there comrades are worse then scum."

Naruto and Sasuke gave a small smile at there sensei wile Sakura smiled brightly at him. 'Yeah so what, he's kind of cool' Naruto thought as Kakashi turn back to the team and did his eye smile. "You all pass. Squad 7 start their official mission tomorrow. Congratulations."

Naruto gave the man a smile and stared at the sky. 'Things will get tougher but Me, Kyuubi, Toko and my new team will go with it one step at a time.'
