One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain't nothin' can beat teamwork. ~Edward Abbey
"He's late!" Naruto exclaimed as him, Sasuke, and I were all sitting in the classroom. He was peeking through the door as Sasuke and I sat down at different desks."God! Why is our teacher the only one that's late? I'm ready to roll, believe it!" said. I had to admit it, I was getting impatient to when I saw Naruto was putting an eraser in the door, to where it would fall on our sensei when he entered. I facepalmed, the boy and his pranks..."Hn. Our teachers a Jonin, you think he'd fall for that?" Sasuke said. He looked at me, I guess expecting me to back him up. I just shrugged, you never know... Suddenly a hand came out of no where opening the door. And I saw a masked ninja walk in. The eraser hit his head, and hit the floor. Then everything was silent until... "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I got him! He totally fell for it! HAHAHAHAHA" Naruto was laughing pointing at the poor guy. But, then I recognized him from the Bingo book. The spiked hair, the mask, the forehead protector over one eye. It was Kakashi Hatake of the Sharingan! He was a legend! And just happened to be the 'Eternal Rival' of a certain Taijutsu master...As I was busy admiring all of his awesome feats I read about, he picked up the eraser. "Hm... How can I put this? My first impression of you is..."
"Your a bunch of idiots." he said simply causing a cloud of gloom above all three of us.
"Alright, why don't you introduce yourselves... One at a time..." Kakashi-senesi said. "What?! Introduce ourselves? What are we supposed to say?" Naruto said. "Things you like, things you hate, dreams for the future, hobbies, things like that." As he was talking I was quickly writing down my hobbies and everything. "Why don't you tell us about you first? So we know what to say." Naruto said. "I'm Kakashi Hatake, things I like and things I hate, I don't feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future, haven't really thought about it. As for my hobbies, I have lots of hobbies." He said. "Hey! All we learned is your name!" Naruto exclaimed. "Hm. Okay, your turn. You on the right, you first." Kakashi-sensei said referring to Naruto. "Believe it! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, I like instant ramen in a cup and my best friend Aki-kun! But I hate the 3 minute wait after you pour the ramen in the ramen cup. My hobbies is to eat different kinds of ramen and comparing them. And my future dream is... To be the greatest Hokage. Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me, and start treating me like I'm somebody important!" he said. I really thought he could do, because he wasn't ever gonna give up on that dream.
"Alright, next!" Sasuke was next.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate alot of things. And I don't really like anything. What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan. And destroy a certain someone." he said darkly. I did my best to keep a smile on my face, but couldn't as I scooted away from the boy. "Okay, last one. The boy with the hat." he said
I gave him a small smile, and he gave me an awkward stare. I got up and handed him a note. "I guess you don't speak, correct?" Kakashi-sensei said. I sat back down and nodded. "Yeah, I've been friends with him for years and I still haven't heard him speak." Naruto said. "Okay, here's what he said,
Hi my name is Aki Yuki, nice to meet you! I like my friends, dango, animals, and rice balls! I don't like mean people, people that judge others for no reason, and being woken up for no good reason. My dream is to become a legendary Shinobi and help Naruto reach his dream!"
He looked up at me. Then folded the paper and put it in his pocket. "Good, everyone's unique and you have your own ideas. We'll have our first mission tomarrow." Kakashi-sensei said. "Oh, what kind of mission are we going to have?" Naruto asked. "It's a task the 4 of us can complete together." "Come on, details!" Naruto exclaimed. "... A survival exercise." "Huh? Survival exercise?!" Naruto exclaimed. "Oh, don't worry. This won't be like your previous training." Kakashi-sensei said seeming to be reading my mind. "Then what kind of training is it?" Naruto asked. Kakashi-sensei began to do an evil chuckle. "Well, if I tell you what kind of training it is, our not going to like it." he said, while still chuckling. "Huh?" Naruto said. Suddenly, Kakashi-sensei got close to us, "Of the 27 graduates that came here, only 9 will actually be accepted as Genin. The other 18 will be weeded out and sent back to the Academy. In other words, this is a make it or break it, pass or fail test. And the chance you will fail is at least 66%." Naruto had his mouth open in suprise, Sasuke was glaring at Kakashi-sensei, and me, I was smiling. I was really freaked out, but I wasn't about to show it.
"That's crazy! We worked hard to get here, believe it, what was that Graduation Test for anyway!?" Naruto said. "That was just to select candidates that might become Genin. Or not." Kakashi-sensei said, causing Naruto to freak out. "That is just how it is. I decide if you pass or fail. Meet at our designated training spot tomarrow at 5 a.m. and bring your ninja gear." I looked over at Naruto, and patted his shoulder. "How can you smile like that? Are you not nervous?" he said. I shrugged. "Oh, and tomarrow, you might want to skip breakfast, unless you want to throw up." And he dismissed us. Naruto went off to eat ramen, Sasuke went off to do who know's what. I ran off to find Gai-sensei.
I gave him a note telling him all that happened. "What!? My eternal rival is your Sensei!? We must train! To prove to him that I am the better Sensei! Yes! Let's go, Aki, Lee! Let's run around the Village only being fueled by our Youth!" "Yes Gai-sensei!" Lee exclaimed. "Wait! Wasn't there something you had to tell Aki-san?" Tenten said while sparring with Neji. "Oh,yes there was! Aki, our running will have to wait, the Hokage wanted me to tell you to come see him right away!" Gai-sensei said. I nodded and ran towards the Hokage's Tower.
I walked over to the door leading to his office and saw the Shinobi guards that gave me a stern look. I gave them a smile, "Hi, Aki-san." One of them said. I went in his office and his desk was piled high with paperwork. "Hi there, Aki-kun." I waved at him. "Hikari-chan..." he said. My eyes looked down as he mentioned her name. "She was a very close friend of mine. Actually, I had a liking towards her for the longest time. When she got older, she left the village to go live in a small village with a friend of hers. She begged me to allow her to go, since I was Kage, it was my job to decide if she could leave or not. She gave me her Summoning Scroll and told me that one day a friend or descendent of her's would come to the Village. She Told me to give it to who ever it is that will proceed her. Now that you are a Genin, I think it is time you take this. Have your Sensei help you with the contract." he said. I was shocked, I had no idea that Hikari, left something behind. Something, I think, was meant for me. Somehow she knew I would come. I smiled as I took the scroll from him. I gave him a bow, "Good luck on your test tomarrow, Aki. I wish you the best!" he exclaimed.
As I left I was happy. I felt like I suddenly had a small bit of Hikari with me. "HEY! YOU!" I heard a voice say from behind me. I saw a light grey bunny rabbit hopping towards me. "Hey, your the one with Summoning Scroll, right?" it said. My eyes widened, I took out the scroll, "Yeah, that one! So your a potential summoner! That's cool. I'm Ryota, the next Rabbit Boss! You can call me Ryota Boss God-sama, Rabbit God-sama, or Ryota-sama. And in NO WAY will you call me Bun-Bun-chan, Usa-chan, Cutie-chan, or ANYTHING with a chan, GOT IT!?" he said. I nodded, still weirded out about the fact that I might be summoning rabbits, and there's a small one talking to me. "Now, get to the nearest Commoner's Supermarket and get carrots, newspaper, and all the food pills you can carry! Get to it woman!" I thought I was going crazy, a weird rabbit was talking to me. And forcing me to buy stuff, but who was I to refuse a cute little "YOU BETTER NOT ME THINKING I'M CUTE, WOMAN!"
