Chapter 11: Failed again?
I do not own Naruto
'Damn.', That was what Sasuke thought he felt like screaming out to the world. He had to once again train with his two team mates because they failed again. The worst part was that it was always Naruto's or Sakura's fault! If they could have individual tests, Sasuke was sure that he'd past for sure. Besides he liked to work better alone anyway. That way there was nobody dragging you down but yourself. Sasuke sighed as he gathered his ninja tool. Why did it have to be this way? Why couldn't he have had Neji and Tenten on his team and not the two idiots that he had instead. Why was life so cruel to him? He then puts his lunch in his pack and sets out to the Konoha streets. Almost immediately, the sun blinded him causing him to bump several people while doing the effort of shielding the sun. As soon as he reached team 7's training ground, he realized that he was the only one there which irritated him to no point. But what irritated him more was the pink haired weak girl and the blonde haired idiot walking down the street together, heading towards him.
Unfortunately for him, blondie was the one that saw him first. " Hey, Sasuke!"
Sasuke just closed his eyes and leaned back on a tree hoping desperately to disappear in it. Oblivious, the blonde walked towards Sasuke and leaned in close. Sasuke quickly pushed him away and glared.
"Oh, I was just checking if you were alive! Hey have you seen Kakashi-sensei yet?", Naruto yelled.
Sasuke tried his best to tune Naruto out. He even reclosed his eyes and leaned further back on the tree hoping that Naruto would shut up.
"Back off baka! Can't you see that Sasuke-kun is stressed?!",the female member of their team screamed.
Sasuke tightened his eyes shut. 'There goes the pink banshee.', he thought.
"Oh! What cha stressed about Sasuke?", Naruto asked.
Suddenly Kakashi appeared out of nowhere and saved Sasuke from answering or rather not answering the question.
"Stop asking Sasuke questions kids since now it is time to pay attention to me. Since you guys have failed yet again, you have to go through training with me. Again and again until you get it right!"
"OY! YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMIND US KAKASHI- SENSEI!", Naruto yelled.
"Yeah, you don't have to remind us of our misery!", Sakura added.
"And what are your thoughts on this, Sasuke?", Kakashi asked. Even though he had his mask on he was visibly smiling and Sasuke decided not to give Kakashi the satisfaction of hearing his complaints so instead he said:
"I don't care. As long as I become stronger.", Sasuke responded coolly.
"BYAAH! SASUKE-KUN! YOU'RE TOO COOL!", Sakura screamed as she jumped up and down.
"What about me Sakura?", Naruto asked, shoving his head in Sakura's view of Sasuke.
"BAKA GET OUT OF MY PERFECT VIEW!", Sakura then hit, no, rather punched Naruto on top of his head sending him sprawling to the ground screaming in pain.
Kakashi shook his head in dismay. 'Such a dramatic pair of kids.' Kakashi crouched down low and seemingly disappeared because of the speed he was moving in and grabbed both Naruto and Sakura by the ear.
"Enough fighting you two. At least stop fighting long enough so that I can explain to you what we're going to do today. For the past two days you've been doing chakra excersises. Today you'll be fighting against each other. Let me explain how it goes. Naruto you'll be fighting Sasuke and Sakura you'll be fighting me. Tomorrow we will switch opponents so that we can get accustomed to each other's battle styles. Okay start!"
Immediately team 7 took their position against their opponents. Across the field a tense air fell upon them. After a minute of watching each other they started the battle.
~Kakashi and Sakura's battle.~
"Okay, Sakura, I'm letting you have the first move..", Kakashi said lazily.
Sakura nodded and rushed towards Kakashi. As she got closer, he disappeared and suddenly he was behind her holding a kunai to her neck. She elbowed Kakashi in the stomach with all her strength causing Kakashi to double over. Wasting no time she grabbed Kakashi's arm and twisted it over hoping to get some acknowledgement of pain from him however he just flipped and punched her in the stomach so she in turn doubled over. He stood for a moment not bothering to follow with another attack and that was his mistake. Sakura while bending over saw a huge opportunity to attack. She leg sweeped Kakashi and pulled out her kunai just in time to scrape Kakashi against the chest. Kakashi back flipped away panting.
"Very good, Sakura.", Kakashi said.
~Naruto and Sasuke's battle.~
"Hm dobe you don't stand a chance against me.", Sasuke said arrogantly.
"YOU WANNA BET!", Naruto charged at Sasuke letting out a battle cry.
Sasuke shook his head and sidestepped and grabbed Naruto's arm. Smirking, about to attack, Sasuke felt someone kick his back. He turned around to find it was Naruto and the Naruto that he was holding captive 'poofed' away.
'Clones? When did he-?', Sasuke thought.
"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!",Naruto yelled.
Instantly, the whole battle field filled with Narutos. Sasuke grimaced.
"Shit I kept my guard down for too long and that gave him and opportunity to create bunshin! Oh well there's just gonna be more Narutos to take down.
Sasuke turned around and kicked one of the Narutos on the side of it's head and it 'poofed' away. Sasuke then took out several shuriken and kunai and realized that he was surrounded. He threw his weapons around in a semi-circle so that half the Narutos were gone.
"Fire Stlye: Fire bullets!"
A large amount of fire bullets destroyed the remaining clones until the real Naruto was left courtesy to Sasuke.
"I guess you're pretty good, huh, Sasuke? Heh-heh!", Naruto said, wiping his mouth.
"And I guess you're pretty weak dobe.", Sasuke retorted.
"TEME! I WAS GIVING YOU A COMPLIMENT ARGGGHHH!", Naruto screamed in frustration.
~Kakashi and Sakura's battle.~
Sakura stood 4 feet from her opponent.
"Kakashi-sensei, I'll let you take the first move.", Sakura cooed.
Kakashi disappeared without a word.
"You know you really like to disappear.", Sakura said.
Thinking that Kakashi would appear behind her like he did before, she jumped up in to the air which was her mistake. She should have known that Kakashi rarely makes the same move twice because if she did, maybe she wouldn't have been sent tumbling to the sky because of a kick that came from above her courtesy to Kakashi. Sakura soon got up just to get kicked back down again by Kakashi's clone but she turned out to be a…log? The real Kakashi frantically searched for her just to hear a batte cry coming from the sky. There came Sakura trying to kick him similar to the way that he did to her before and she might have succeeded had she not let out that battle cry but…she wasn't the academy's smartest student for nothing. Kakashi caught Sakura's leg and threw her backwards only to get kicked in the back. Kakashi's surprise caused him to fall forward while Sakura managed to flip him over so that he was falling on his back. Sakura folded her hands and then prepared to Donkey Kong smash Kakashi but he caught her hands just in time and used them to get himself up and then launched her towards a tree. Sakura with her quick reflexes quickly used chakra to stand on the tree and she pushed off and twisted herself until she was spinning somewhat like a drill. Of course, Kakashi doged but looked behind him to see another "Sakura Drill" coming at him so he jumped up, making Sakura and her clone wiz by each other and land into a tree. Both of the trees were destroyed and the Sakura clone exploded. There goes Sakura underestimating Kakashi again but she's not stupid! Kakashi felt someone tap him on the shoulder and found that it was Sakura but it was too late to react as the clone said: "Clone Explosion." Kakashi was blasted out of a nearby tree and landed next to Sakura who was already on her feet. She tried to kick Kakashi on his chest but he caught her leg again and lifted her up but she by shifting her body weight back and forth she caused herself to swing and she swiftly delivered a punch to Kakashi's chest. Kakasi let go and quickly reached for a kunai to seemingly stab Sakura with but she rolled out of the way. She positioned herself just as Kakashi wanted her to and he slowly extended a chakra cord from the kunai and managed to trap Sakura. Sakura took a fraction of a second to look down at her bound ankles just to look up again and find Kakashi right in front of her with a chidori blazing. Sakura barely managed to dodge but as she did, she tripped and in the time it took to look for a kunai and attempt to cut the chakra strings, Kakashi was already there with a kunai at her neck.
~Naruto and Sasuke's battle~
Sasuke smirked and charged forward towards Naruto with a punch. Naruto, thinking that Sasuke was coming head-on just stood there and braced himself. At the last moment however, Sasuke twisted in the air and gave Naruto a kick to the side of his head only for Naruto to disappear in a cloud of smoke. Sasuke frowned looking for Naruto finding him nowhere in the area. Something told Sasuke to look up and as he did Sasuke saw Naruto coming down on him with skyward kick. Quickly Sasuke gathered his hand in a series of hand seals and spit fireballs at Naruto who had to stop his attack in order to dodge. Sasuke then came up and joined Naruto in the air….only to get pulled back down by an invisible force which turned out to be Kakashi.
"Training session's over. I really would have expected one of you to win by now. Oh well, chow!", Kakashi said cheerfully.
~Later that day in the hokage`s office.~
Kakashi walked in through the doors of the hokage's office.
"Hokage-sama I must ask why I shall continue to fail those three students. In my eyes they have the potential to pass!", Kakashi said.
"Kakashi, patience. My resons will be explained in a year after you fail them again. Maybe you will see my reasons and I would not even have to explain. You are dismissed."
Kakashi bowed and left through the same door he came in and mentally prepared himself to fail those three academy students again…
