A/N: This begins shortly after Team 7 has failed the Bell Test and here Kairi (FemKakashi) reveals to them the TRUE meaning of the exercise. This is, quite obviously, different from the original because I only had a vague remembrance of how this moment went. (Which as I have come to learn is a GOOD thing with series such as these. Lol.)

'This' means Thoughts

"This" means Talking


Kairi sighed, slightly frustrated. "Teamwork," she said, emphasizing the word. "The point of the exercise was Teamwork."

The three stared at her with wide eyes; even Sakaye appeared startled.

"What?..." Seiichi muttered softly to himself, brows furrowed in confusion.

Kairi ignored him and turned her head to eye the blonde member of the squad. "Nariko."

The girl stiffened.

"Right off the bat, you charged into the situation and tried to get the bell yourself. You didn't even bother trying to be subtle."

Nariko looked to protest, but shut her mouth at the look Kairi gave her. The masked kunoichi turned to their sole male member.

"Seiichi, there were many times you could have helped Nariko out, but you ignored every chance you had in favor of Sakaye, even though Nariko needed your assistance a lot more than she did."

The pink-haired genin looked away and shifted uncomfortably.

Finally, Kairi turned her eye towards Sakaye, an unreadable expression on her face.

"Sakaye..." she started. "Immediately, you ignored your teammates, instead choosing to work on your own, acting as if they were merely nuisances; something not to be bothered with. You discarded them as if they were no better than trash."

Sakaye flushed, but her expression was tight and she refused to meet their sensei's gaze.

The female jounin looked them over, expression serious. "That sort of thing might have gotten you or one of your comrades killed had this been a real situation. In fact, I ought to send you back to the academy for this."

There was silence. Kairi crossed her arms and leaned back on her heels with a sigh. "But... I'm going to give you a second chance."

All three snapped their heads up to stare at her. Nariko looked happy and grateful, Seiichi looked uncertain but relieved, and Sakaye was as unreadable as ever, but looked to be relieved as well.

"Do not screw this up a second time," their sensei warned. "Now, we're going to break for lunch."

Nariko grinned and opened her mouth, probably to thank the silver-haired jounin, but Kairi held up her finger to stop her.

"Not so fast," she said. "I wasn't finished."

Now, both Nariko and Seiichi looked confused and a wary look had appeared in Sakaye's eye.


A/N: Lol. Kairi's about to tie up Nariko if you didn't figure it out. XD Lol. The poor girl...

More to come, so be on the lookout!
