To all those who have experienced confusion about a random civilian using Ninjutsu he is an ex Anbu who was dishonorably discharged.
To the guest who keeps reviewing with 'supert history' could you please explain what that means or stop, and if this meant as being a troll then it's not working.
Chapter 10: The Bell Test
The next morning the three members of Team 7 arrive at 6:00 and sit in a circle looking at one another.
"Alright Naruto what did you learn about Kakashi?" Sasuke asks
"Kakashi is an ex Anbu and has the sharingan." Naruto says rubbing his eyes, Sasuke's eyes widen in shock.
"He is an Uchiha?"
"No he isn't his eye is transplanted. Which means that he can't deactivate it right?" Naruto asks
"Yes transplanted sharingan's can't be deactivated unless it's transplanted into another Uchiha." Sasuke says
"Which means that eye he had covered up had the sharingan behind it?" Hinata says adding her two cents.
"Yes now with that eye covered its powers can't be activated it's like my eyes right now. Even though I have unlocked my sharingan I haven't activated it as such if we were under a genjutsu right now I wouldn't know." Naruto's eyes widen and a smile breaks Naruto's face.
"I have a plan, first things first though the true point of this test is teamwork so whatever he tells us we need to work together as a team." Naruto says looking at his teammates
"Alright what's your plan?" Sasuke asks
"I will trap him in a genjutsu then engage him in battle, I will act the part of the fool but when I use my great fire annihilation against him is when I've dropped the genjutsu, that's when Sasuke leaps in and we engage him two on one, Hinata when an opening presents itself strike with Jyuken and close as many chakra points as you can."
"Solid plan Naruto but what happens if Kakashi reveals his sharingan?" Sasuke asks.
"If he reveals his sharingan we need to just bounce around him and make him use it as much as possible."
"Good idea Naruto if you have a transplanted sharingan you waste a lot of chakra." Naruto reaches into his pocket and pulls out a sealing scroll and unseals some food enough for the three of them.
"Naruto I didn't know you could cook." Hinata says
"Yea Hikari-san taught me. Now let's enjoy our breakfast." Naruto says motioning to the food. Hinata and Sasuke pick up forks and dig in the waffles pancakes and other foods that Naruto had prepared. After 3 hours Kakashi arrived with his signature eye smile.
"Yo." Kakashi says
"You're late." Naruto glares at him
"Sorry but a black cat crossed my path and I had to take the careful way around."
"Liar." Hinata says flatly
"Well now that we're all here let me tell you the point of today's exercise." Kakashi pulls out two bells and dangles them. "The clock say 9:00 you have until noon get these bells from me, whoever doesn't get a bell goes back to the academy."
"But Kakashi sensei there's only two bells." Hinata says
"Nicely observed Hinata no matter what one of you will go back to the academy." Kakashi says. Naruto makes eye contact with Kakashi beginning the first part of his plan and casting the genjutsu on Kakashi. "Also whoever doesn't get a bell doesn't get to eat lunch the others get to eat it in front of him or her. But if none of you get the bell I will try all of you up to the posts and eat lunch in front of you." Kakashi listens for the sound of growling stomachs but to his surprise he doesn't hear any.
"When do we begin?" Sasuke asks.
"Now." Kakashi says then Sasuke and Hinata disappear into the forest around them. However Naruto stands there, Kakashi pulls out his make out paradise book and starts reading.
"GIVE ME THE DAMN BELLS DATTEBANE!" Naruto screamed as he leaped from a tree with his kunai pointed straight at Kakashi's head. Kakashi blocked the kunai lazily, continuing to read a book.
"Make me." Kakashi says and blocked Naruto's kunai as he swung at Kakashi again. The kunai crashed onto Kakashi's metal plate on his glove and the grey haired ninja rolled his wrist to the side and grabbed Naruto's wrist then twisted the blonds arm back behind the boys back and tightened his grip so Naruto's hand loosened his grip on the kunai. Kakashi then grabbed the kunai, flipped it and threw it at a nearby bush.
"Rotation!" they heard Hinata's voice exclaim and the Kunai came hurling back at them. Kakashi leaned back and let it whiz past him hitting a tree which then poofed into Sasuke. Sasuke fell the ground and clutched the kunai sticking into his shoulder.
"Congratulations Naruto you single handily revealed your teammates positions I honestly thought the wielder of the first Hokage's wood style would be stronger than this."
"You think I'm weak I'll show you power!" Naruto rushes in using his dragon interceptor style to attack which Kakashi was hard pressed to block but in the end he knocked Naruto to the ground.
"While I admit that you have some talent Naruto your nothing compared to me I guess your powers were just stories." Kakashi says disappointed.
"Your good Kakashi but I have to ask you something."
"What's that Naruto?"
"What would you do if I told you that none of this had ever happened?"
"Are you saying that you placed a genjutsu on me?" Kakashi looks at Naruto suspiciously.
"Maybe, maybe not." Naruto says then brings his hands together in the ram. Then slams his hands into horse.
"Gennin can't use fire style it cost too much... chakra." Then Kakashi remembers who he is dealing with.
"Fire style great fire annihilation!" Naruto exhales the blast of fire at Kakashi. Hinata and Sasuke notice Naruto blast Kakashi with great fire annihilation.
"The genjutsu is released!" Hinata and Sasuke think simultaneously. Sasuke rushes in and nods to Naruto and both engage Kakashi in a Taijutsu battle. Kakashi's eye widens in shock at Naruto and Sasuke's teamwork.
"He planned this; Naruto planned everything the genjutsu was just a distraction!" Sasuke starts weaving hand signs.
"Fire style: dragon flame jutsu!" Sasuke roars exhaling a stream of fire.
"Wind style great breakthrough!" Naruto exhales a huge blast of wind.
"Ninja art wind and fire collaboration: Dragon fire breakthrough!" Sasuke and Naruto shout. The wind and fire combine cause the fire to spread almost as wide as the entire training ground. Kakashi jumps back to avoid the blast of flame, and then he lands on the ground when he hears something that nearly stops his heart.
"Eight trigrams thirty-two palms!" Hinata's voice says from behind Kakashi. "Eight trigrams, two points!" Hinata strikes to chakra points on Kakashi's body. "Four points! Eight points! Sixteen points! Eight trigrams 32 points!" Kakashi is sent forward from the blow.
"Dammit she shut down half my chakra system, if I guess I have no choice." Kakashi reaches for his head band and reveals his sharingan. Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke look at one another and Sasuke activates his sharingan, then Naruto slams his hands together.
"Wood style Forest destruction!" suddenly the ground below Kakashi springs to life sprouting trees and branches left right and center.
"So this is the wood style of the first Hokage." Sasuke thinks as he watches in awe.
"Sasuke now!" Naruto shouts, Sasuke nods and starts making hand signs.
"Fire style dragon flame jutsu!" Sasuke exhales the blast of fire at the wooden prison Kakashi was encased in. Kakashi used a substitution to escape being burned alive he started panting from chakra exertion but still managed to used his head hunter jutsu. "Where did he go?"
"Maji formation!" Naruto exclaims. "Watch each-others blind spots." Sasuke and Hinata nod and fall into the formation.
"He isn't above us." Sasuke scans the area. "He isn't anywhere near us so where is he?"
"BELOW US!" Hinata yells the three of them jump away as Kakashi emerges from the ground. Kakashi starts weaving hand signs.
"Fire style: dragon flame bombs!" Kakashi roars as a jet of fire blasts from Kakashi's mouth. As the three of them had just landed and are in no position to counter, Hinata and Sasuke close their eyes and waited for the inevitable. The pain of fire burning their skin never came instead they saw Naruto standing in front of them his hands out stretched blocking the technique.
"Naruto!" Hinata yells out in fear but to her surprise Naruto isn't getting burned and upon closer inspection with her Byakugan she sees that the chakra behind the attack is disappearing and the fire dies down.
"What the hell is going on? How did Naruto block my attack? You would be proud of Naruto, Minato-sensei not only did he jump in the way of an attack to save his comrades but he's put his life on the line to protect his friends." Kakashi thinks as he watches the events before him unfold.
"That's Naruto's power to absorb chakra he used one of his six paths to save us." Sasuke thinks in awe as he watches the legendary power of the Sage of the Six Paths.
"I won't let those precious to me die!" Naruto thinks standing before he jutsu as he absorbs it. After a few seconds the fire vanishes and nothing remains of the jutsu.
"How is Naruto this powerful?" Kakashi asks himself.
"Naruto you really are like the Sage of the Six Paths he put his life on the line to save this world just as you put your life on the line to save your friends." Kurama says his voice glowing with pride
"Naruto you have a burning will of fire that will carry you down the path of peace." Hashirama says.
"I have faith that my own twisted creation will fail because you walk this earth, Naruto." Madara says
"Sasuke, Hinata you guys ok?" Naruto asks
"Yea." Sasuke says. "Thanks for the save."
"I'm ok Naruto-kun." Hinata says.
"We need to strike now." Naruto says Sasuke and Hinata nod and simultaneously they start weaving hand signs.
"Water style: Giant water vortex Jutsu!" Hinata shouts, a huge torrent of water blasts from the lake by the training ground and rockets towards Kakashi."
"Wind Style: Great breakthrough." Sasuke says exhaling a huge gust of wind as Naruto did for their wind/fire combination.
"Lightning style: electromagnetic murder!" Naruto shouts using the jutsu that the cloud ninja used against him the night Hinata was kidnapped.
"Ninja art: Wind, fire and lightning collaboration: tempest storm!" Naruto Hinata and Sasuke shout simultaneously.
"Oh shit!" Kakashi's eyes widen as the blast of water, wind and lightning blasts his way. "They really know how to work together." Kakashi jumps out of the way of the huge blast.
"Universal Pull." Naruto says calmly holding out his hand.
"Well fuck in a bucket." Kakashi thinks as he is pulled forward towards Naruto.
"I think we win Kakashi sensei." Sasuke says as Kakashi floats in front of unable to control himself. Naruto grabs one bell but before Sasuke can grab his Kakashi uses a substitution to escape.
"That was close I almost lost but now I have to be careful and on my guard at all times I can't let Naruto or any of them catch me off guard." The he notices Sasuke disappeared. "Where the heck did Sasuke go?" Kakashi murmurs to himself
"Right behind you." Sasuke grabs the bell then kicks Kakashi towards his teammates.
"I guess Hinata is going back to the Academy."
"No she isn't." Naruto says and he hands the bell to her.
"We told you before Kakashi if we fail then we fail as a team." Sasuke says
"Not one of us is willing to abandon our comrades." Hinata says as she, Naruto and Sasuke stand in front of Kakashi.
"So you're all willing to go back to the academy for the sake of your friends?" Kakashi asks
"Yes." Naruto responds
"Without a doubt." Sasuke says
"Without the slightest hesitation or regret." Hinata glares at Kakashi
"In that case you all… pass." Kakashi eye smiles at them and lowers his headband. "How did you all have this much energy?"
"We ate breakfast." Naruto smiles deviously. Kakashi sweat drops at this.
"You disobeyed my orders and ate anyway."
"You didn't order us not to eat lunch you just recommended it and we don't take bad advice." Hinata says smiling at Kakashi.
"Anyway you all passed now if you excuse me I need to go report the outcome to Lord Hokage." Kakashi grimaces and thinks "and pull the splinters out of my ass." Then he Shunshins off to his house.
"WE DID IT!" Naruto and Hinata hug each other spinning in circles laughing.
"Are you quite done Naruto, Hinata?" Sasuke asks rubbing his temples
"Jealous?" Naruto asks smugly
"NO!" Sasuke blushes then turns his head. "ok maybe a little."
"Don't worry Sasuke I'm sure you'll find someone." Hinata says as she smiles at Sasuke reassuringly
"Yea, after all who wouldn't want to be with the 'last Uchiha.' I bet there are girls are dying to get with you." Naruto say laughing patting Sasuke on the back.
(Hokage tower)
"The jounin should be arriving any second now." Sarutobi thinks sorting through his paperwork. Just then 8 jounin Shunshin in and bow to the Hokage. "Report." Sarutobi says.
"Team one: Failed and horribly at that." One jounin says looking shameful at the thought of the team.
"Team two: Failed, these girls are a disgrace to kunoichi everywhere." A female jounin says looking ashamed.
"Team three: failed." A third jounin says.
"Team four: failed." The fourth jounin says
"Team five failed." The fifth jounin says. the sixth steps forward
"Team Six failed." The sixth jounin says.
"Kakashi isn't here so we will move on to Kurenai." Sarutobi says
"Team 8 passed but barely I had my team track me and I heard her coming a mile away screeching and whining she wasn't on 'Sasuke-kun's' team and I could tell when she was trying to sneak up me because of that stupid perfume that she wears, which by the way smells horrible. To give her some credit she and her team were making use of her natural loudness to sneak up on me. However Kiba and Shino show some interesting kekkei genkai that intrigued me; at one point he and Akamaru used their fang over fang which I dodged but when I went to counter attack he and Akamaru turned to iron but were just as flexible." Everyone gasped at this bloodline as it only emerged in Inuzuka destined for greatness, the last Inuzuka that had this bloodline went toe to toe with Kisame Hoshigaki of the seven swordsmen of the mist and won.
"And Shino's bloodline?"
"On top of the regular parasitic insects Shino had Shikuro's venomous Nano-insects which surprised even Shino himself as well as fire flies that he used to blind me and caused the success of him and his team." Just then Kakashi Shunshins in with his eye smile.
"Sorry I'm late I had to go home and pull splinters out of my ass." Kakashi says and grimaces at the memory of the ass kicking he received courtesy of his team.
"That actually sounds plausible." Kurenai says looking suspiciously at Kakashi
"That's because it's the truth." Kakashi says. Then Sarutobi coughs gaining everyone's attention.
"How did team seven do?" Sarutobi asks silently praying his segregate grandson passed.
"Team 7 passed with flying colors." Kakashi says shocking everyone.
"What happened?" Asuma asks
"Well from the very beginning Naruto had placed a genjutsu on me and I didn't even realize until Naruto used grand fire annihilation on me, that is when Sasuke jumped in and the two of them engaged me in a Taijutsu battle then used a collaboration Ninjutsu with wind and fire to force me towards where Hinata was waiting to strike and hit me with eight trigrams 32 palms and shut down half my chakra network and I needed to reveal my sharingan and they even had a plan for that, they hit me with a 3 element combination they called 'tempest storm' with wind water and lightning style. Then Naruto used something called Universal Pull which, as its name suggests, pulled me towards him which allowed him to take one of the bells from me. Then Sasuke vanished grabbed the last bell then kicked me towards Naruto and Hinata, but here is where the real kicker comes in, Naruto handed his bell to Hinata then the three of them tell me that they were willing to were all willing to return the academy for each other so I passed them." Kakashi finished. Everyone stares in shock at Kakashi then Sarutobi asks
"Alright Asuma how did team 10 do?"
"Team 10 passed with flying colors, they are just like their parents; their teamwork was flawless, however Shikamaru inherited his father's laziness and Chōji is soft but I sense a lot of potential in him, Ino seems to be the leader of the three as she constantly would kick the other two into shape. Overall I am proud to say team 10 is ready for action." Asuma says smiling.
"Alright have teams, 7, 8 and 10 come in tomorrow morning for missions." Sarutobi says. "Dismissed." The jounin bow and Shunshin out, Sarutobi goes back to his paper work shaking his head at the shear amount of paper work he had to put up with these days.
