The Bell Test.

At the third training ground at 5 am...

Naruto and Seth were walking. They were both groggy Naruto was trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes he was wearing a green backpack. Seth was stretching out his arms. His sword was on his hip. There was a 3rd pouch on his other hip it contained a basic med kit and a few smoke bombs. Sakura was arriving as well she had a bag full of kunai and shurikens with her. She was trying to get the sleep out of her eyes. While Sasuke he looked like he been awake for about an hour. He was eating an apple. While Crash he was just arriving in his usual equipment nothing special except for the fact that he brought his dog Twilight. He was holding a styrofoam cup of coffee. He then stopped drink from the cup before he threw it in a trash can. They all met up on the training ground Kakashi's was nowhere to be seen.

3 hours later...

"Oh come on where the hell is he?" Naruto asked. "Like I said he was going be late. I give him another 30 minutes before I go looking for him." Crash had said.

30 more minutes later...

"Oh come on. He shouldn't still be at that one place. Come on Twilight you remember his sent right?" Crash had said. Twilight had nodded before taking off with Crash in tow.

5 minutes later...

Crash's P.O.V.

Me and Twilight had arrived at the the memorial stone near the training ground. I saw Kakashi standing right in front of it. I walked up next to him. "I know you miss them. But your late you can visit after they finish the test." "I know. We should get going." "You did bring the bells right?" "Crap." "Your lucky I came prepared just in case this happened." I said as I pulled out 3 bells."Here. You remember what to do." "Of course." This is where the conversation ended and we went to rejoin the group.

Seth's P.O.V.

"YOU'RE LATE!" Naruto yelled at Kakashi. "Sorry I'm late guys, a black cat crossed my path so I had to go the long way." Kakashi said. "Really were you doing it on your hands at most it takes me an hour to lap this village and I did it twice." I yelled in anger. 'hmm kid look serious.' "Calm down so we can start your training. Your goal is to take these bells from me. Note this test has 75% chance of failure." Sakura was counting the bells. "But there is only 3." "Correct one of you will be sent back to the academy. While the others will continue on. Your goal is to get a bell before noon. If you don't get a bell you will be tied to a post and forced to watch the other's eat."

"Now begin." Crash said out of nowhere. Everyone went into hiding except for Naruto he tried to take Kakashi head on with shadow clones. "I'm going to get a bell I won't be sent back to the academy. Believe it!" But Kakashi had to prove him wrong. "Leaf Village Secret-Finger Jutsu...1,000 Years of Death!" he then stuck his fingers up naruto's butt launching him into the stream that ran through the training ground. But Naruto was determined. He did a shadow clone jutsu under the water he had a plan, not fail. Naruto came out of the water followed by his clone one of them snuck up behind Kakashi and grabbed him but Kakashi had substituted a clone for him causing naruto to fight himself.

I knew something had to be done to stop the madness. So I called out "Who wants ramen?" That got them to stop fighting but, there was a few draw backs I was swarmed by Naruto's going "Me me me me." I had a strange sense of deja-voo. I saw Crash sitting on a tree branch with his dog Twilight watching the action as I tried to figure out which one was real as I punched them. I ended up punching the real Naruto causing the jutsu he used to disperse. "Ow, what the heck was that for?" "Trying to make sure your not Kakashi. Now come on we need to find the others I have an idea." "Wait isn't that Sasuke? Oh crap Naruto go find Sakura I'm going to watch what's happening here." Naruto ran off into the trees as I watched the battle unfold. Sasuke tried going for the bells it started with a kick which was blocked followed by a punch which was also blocked coming back to Sasuke kicking with his other leg causing Kakashi to lower his guard by before to block that one aswell. But let Sasuke slip in and touch a bell before Kakashi backed off. He then did his fire ball jutsu.

When this occurred my eye that had the vertical slit went weird I was able to see Kakashi do a few handsigns through the fire ball. Before that man had plunged into the ground. I watched as Sasuke. I performed the shadow clone jutsu creating 3 clones. I told them my plan Naruto and Sasuke would keep Kakashi distracted while I snuck up under ground and pulled him down while one took the bells took the bells took the bells Sakura was there to provide some cover fire of shurikens and Kunai. There would be a few trade offs of the bells to throw off Kakashi. Then they did the jutsu I saw Kakashi use on Sasuke. I stayed above the surface. I saw that Kakashi left Sasuke alone so I went over to him I started to help him out of the ground despite his protests. Then I told him the plan. For once I actually seen him agree.

I looked for Crash he was still in the same spot with his dog watching. I then pulled out one of my message Kunai I wrote on the piece of paper before I threw it at the bark next to him. he looked at and then gave me my lips are sealed hand signs. I then let out a look of relief. Naruto came back with Sakura or well running away from she looked pissed. "Sakura knock it off we need him for the plan to work." "Plan what plan?" I had explained my plan to get those bells from Kakashi. "I understand but why do I have to work with him?" "If you don't I'm not buying you ramen. And I can become a living hell when I want to be." "Okay fine I'll work with him but don't think I'll like it." "I know you said it enough already." "Wait I have a question how are we going to get Kakashi over here?" "Just leave that to me and Twilight." Crash said. As he jumped down from the tree.

Twilight's P.O.V.

"Okay Twilight I need you to lurer Kakashi over into the opening." My master gave me. "Yes sir." I responded This Caused team 7's jaw to drop. "What never seen a talking dog." they all shook there head to no except for Seth wonder why."Hey just to warn you Kakashi has one to." "That's when they all fell over. Before recollecting themselves. I let out a small chuckle. Before I took off in search of Kakashi. I found him by the poles reading his book. It looked like he was really deep into it. I saw this was my opportunity to have a little fun. So I started to sprint then I jumped and snatched his book out of his hand before I ran like a bat out of hell towards clearing. With an angry Kakashi on my tail. I dropped the book the instant I made it to the center of the clearing. But I kept running until I disappeared into the trees.

Seth's P.O.V.

I saw Twilight drop the book in the clearing. I gave the go hand sign. And the plan was go Naruto had a made a few shadow clones to go in his spot he was going to stay until Sasuke finished his jutsu. The naruto clone went out in front of Kakashi to get he attention and boy did it. Sasuke snuck behind him. While I went under ground and moved towards Kakashi with my clones. Sakura remained hidden.

Crash's P.O.V.

I watched their plan play out Twilight. "Hey Kakashi. I'm going to get a bell no matter what. Believe it!" Naruto yelled before he started to charge at Kakashi. This gave Sasuke the prime opportunity to get behind Kakashi he did a different set of hand signs than his fireball jutsu. No these were similar but different snake, ram, monkey, snake, dragon. "Fire style precision wip." he then moved his hand a long trail of fire came out from his hand. He then swung his hand causing the wip to move and wrap around Kakashi. Then came Sakura's part She started to throw a few kunai one hit the strings holding all 3 bells causing them to fall. I saw multiple hands grab Kakashi's feet while another pair snatched up the 3 bells before disappearing below the surface leaving no trace then the hands let go of Kashi's feet and retreated as well. Looks like they made changes to the plan without me know.

Nobody's P.O.V.

Seth kept running under the ground he made the trade off to his first clone. This clone made a trade of with the second so on and so on. Until everybody met back at the poles That's where he popped out of the ground with his clones where everybody was waiting. The original had all 3 and he gave a bell to everyone except himself. He then released his clones.

Then Kakashi had appeared. "Hmm. Seems that you got the bells but, one of you is going back to the academy for not having one." "I wouldn't mind going back and seeing Iruka." was Seth's response. "Kakashi sensei." That got his attention. "Don't send him back. He was the reason we got the bells in the first place. He's what brought us together. So I say if he goes I go." Naruto said throwing the bell to the ground. "So do I. If it wasn't for him I would have never teamed up." Sasuke said doing the same thing. "Count me in. If they go I go." Sakura and added dropping her bell. "Hmm. You pass." Kakashi said. "In the Ninja World, those who break the rules are scum, that's true...but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum! And by the way Seth i'm impressed that you managed to copy the headhunter jutsu." "That is one of the few statements I agree with. Okay you're free to go do whatever But I want to see you here tomorrow by 11 that includes you Kakashi." Crash said as he turned to look at Kakashi. "Hey Naruto let's go get some Ramen."
