Thousand Foot Crutch Cover by AntMayte- Be Somebody (acoustic)
...The Next Day...
At five AM , Sakura walks up from the left side as she yawns tiredly as she rubs her left eye tiredly.
"I'm awake," Naruto said tiredly in half asleep tone as he yawned as well walks from the right side with his one hand up.
" ..." Sasuke just walks up towards them from straight path looking refreshed unlike those two with an emotionless serious expression.
"..." Savannah walks up from behind looking fully rested.
"..." Danny was right behind Savannah as he walks behind her looking serious and well refreshed as he looked around at the class. ''Wow, you guys look terrible,'' said Landon looking at Sakura and Naruto aside from Savannah and Sasuke.
"I couldn't sleep I was so pumped up to make sure I don't lose to Sasuke!" Naruto said angrily.
"me either, I don't want to be kicked off of the team," Sakura said in a fangirl worry tone.
"you know Sakura if you want I can leave the team so you can stay on the team," Savannah said in a serious and not caring tone.
"what?!" Sakura and Naruto both yelled out in a shocked tone as they look at her in disbelief.
"..." Sasuke turns his head to stare at Savannah as well looking shocked in his eyes but his expression shows emotionless.
Savannah looks around and notices the sensei haven't arrived yet so she started to sing a song to pass time.
"once in the moonlight"
"dancing with shadows"
"she cries because she's lonely."
"so very lonely."
"voices are drifting."
"whispering so far away."
"she sings with the walls."
"be very afraid..."
"refection's blind to what's inside and your cruel intentions."
"behind the well legends tell of a faceless keeper."
"in from the daylight... wait for the stars to shine... "
"she knows that they're watching."
"always watching..."
"voices are calling..."
"calling out her name..."
"run forever..."
"there's only one escape..."
"reflection's blind to what's inside and your cruel intentions."
"behind the well legends tell of a faceless keeper."
"reflection's blind to what's inside and your cruel intentions."
"behind the well legends tell of a faceless keeper..."
Sakura light green eyes go wide in shocked after hearing her sing.
Naruto light blue eyes go wide as well in shocked as his eyes sparkle hearing her sing so beautifully like an innocent angel.
Sasuke just stares at her with a gentle surprised look in his eyes as he listened until she was finished he still had emotionless expression.
Danny looks at his daughter with surprised green eyes but smiled gently at her after hearing his daughter sing beautifully. So he started to sing gently next but only for Savannah. He looks at her with kindness and love in his eyes.
"I'm just the boy inside the man, not exactly who you think I am."
"Trying to trace my steps back here again, so many times."
"I'm just a speck inside your head, you came and made me who I am."
"I remember where it all began, so clearly."
"I feel a million miles away, still you connect me in your way."
"And you created me, something I would've never seen."
"When I can only see the floor, you made my window a door."
"So when they say they don't believe, I hope that they see you and me."
"After all the lights go down, I'm just the words you are the sound."
"A strange type of chemistry, how you've become a part of me."
"And when I sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire."
"You're the only one who knows, who I really am."
"We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are."
"We all wanna be somebody, we're willing to go but not that far."
"And we're all see through, just like glass."
"And we can shatter just as fast."
"That light's been burned out for a while, I still see it every time I pass."
"It was lost in the coldness of my mind, behind a box of reasons why."
"I never doubted it was there, just took a little time to find."
"And even when
I feel a million miles away, still, you connect me in your way."
"And you created me, something I would've never seen."
"When I can only see the floor, you made my window a door."
"So when they say they don't believe I hope that they see you and me."
"After all the lights go down, I'm just the words you are the sound."
"A strange type of chemistry, how you've become a part of me."
"And when I sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire."
"You're the only one who knows, who I really am."
"We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are."
"We all wanna be somebody, we're willing to go but not that far."
"We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are."
"We all wanna be somebody, we're willing to go but not that far."
"I'm just the boy inside the man, not exactly who you think I am."
"Trying to trace my steps back here again, so many times."
"When I can only see the floor, you made my window a door."
"So when they say they don't believe, I hope that they see you and me."
Savannah looks at him with surprised eyes especially since he was singing while looking at her.
Danny sighed as he took a deep breath after finishing his song quickly looking away.
Savannah keeps starring at him ignoring her other teammates around them.
Sasuke stares at them suspiciously. ''what's going on between those two? hm,'' he thinks to himself.
Sakura stares Landon in shocked but in a fangirling way she then looks at Savannah in jealousy. '' why did he look at her that way and not at me? I am way better than she is!'' she thinks to herself.
Naruto looks at them with a happy and confused expression. ''' wow they both sing so amazingly!''' he thinks to himself.
Danny leaned on the tree as he looks anywhere but at Savannah.
"um, Landon?" Savannah calls out his name softly and sweetly as she starts walking towards him slowly with kind and sad eyes.
''hm why she going to him?'' Sasuke thinks to himself in serious and yet curious eyes on them.
''cha, they look so close and I don't like it!'' Sakura thinks to herself. as she glares at Savannah with hatred in her eyes.
''they look nice together.'' Naruto thinks to himself as he smiles at them childishly.
''Yes Savannah?'' he asked as he saw her come up to him. He was nervous.
Savannah stands in front of him after she walked over to him. " um that was nice singing and a beautiful song..." she says softly and sweetly with innocent and kind eyes sad eyes.
Sasuke stares at them with a serious and yet jealously in his eyes even though he shows emotionless expression.
Naruto looks at them with happy and curiously eyes looking clueless.
Sakura keeps watching them as she glares at Savannah with hatred look in her eyes as she made an angry expression
Danny looked at her and smiled ''Thank you, Savannah.'' he said gently.
Savannah could feel Sakura glaring at her back so she started to back up from him slowly and returns back to her sitting spot which is alone on the grass away from the teammates.
Sasuke stares at Savannah with a gentle look in his eyes once he notices her walking away from Landon ignores Sakura trying to sit closer to him as he moves away a bit from her and over to Savannah a bit with an emotionless expression.
Naruto noticed his best friend sitting next to his girl best friend so he started to glare at him in anger.
Sakura gets upset when Sasuke moved away from her gets jealous when she saw her crush sitting next to Savannah.
Danny sighed in relief as he leaned on the tree as he crossed his arms.
Savannah notice Sasuke sitting next to her. ''ugh what does he want why he sitting next to me when he is so popular? '' she thinks to herself and started feeling uncomfortable and scared that her heartbeat started to beat fast in fear and unknown that her father is with her can feel her emotions.
Sasuke just sit there quietly as he looks at her with an emotionless expression. '' why she won't look at me?'' he thinks to himself in wonder.
Sakura watches them with jealousy so she walks over to Landon and sits very close to him to make Savannah mad but doesn't know that it won't work.
Naruto looks at Sakura next and gets shocked and sad when he sees her walked over to Landon and sitting next to him.
Danny was surprised. "Um, hello?" he asked confused.
"Hey, Landon it's fine by you that I sit here next to you?" Sakura asked him in a flirting tone as she smiles flirty at him.
Savannah ignores everything around her as she sitting there waiting for the sensei to come out already.
Sasuke sits calmly next to her with his arms crossed as he looks at her.
Naruto gets up and sits on the other side of Savannah glares at Sasuke
"um sure," Danny said nicely as he looks at her with a raised eyebrow.
"thank you, Landon," Sakura said in a flirting tone and move closer to him put her head on his shoulder as she looks at him with dreamy eyes.
Savannah turn her head to looks at Landon and Sakura direction saw Sakura sitting to close to Landon but she doesn't react to it turn her head back around.
Sasuke saw Savannah looked at them he saw her eyes have no emotions in them so he started to move closer to her to see if she will react or not.
Naruto saw his best friend move closer to his girl best friend and glares at him. " Sasuke get away from my best friend!" he yells at him.
Danny felt uncomfortable as he felt strange that she was close and her being so close made him miss Sam more and more.
Savannah just sitting in her spot ignore the surrounding around her with no emotions in her eyes. she starts to think to herself. ''why do I always get myself in these kinds of masses? I just want to be alone''
"hm stay out of my way loser," Sasuke says to Naruto in an emotionless tone as he stayed close to Savannah.
"ahh, Sasuke!" Naruto yells at him angry and started to charge at him tackling him to the ground as he tried to punch him.
Sasuke catches his hand and threw him to ground. "I said stay out of my way". he says calmly in a serious and yet emotionless tone.
"Sasuke!" Sakura shouts out in a worried tone and ran over to them.
Danny looked at the fight as he ran toward them, "Break it up!" he yelled grabbing Sasuke off Naruto.
"hm," Sasuke says calmly with no emotions in his tone as he walks back towards Savannah and sits back down next to her very close to her leave no space between them with an emotionless expression as he stares at her.
"um please stay away from me Uchiha... " Savannah says softly with a fear tone as she started feeling uncomfortable and scared again stares back at him.
"no," Sasuke says calmly with an emotionless expression.
"Landon why stop us?! he is to close to my best friend! I want to fight him!" Naruto shouts at him.
"what?!" Sakura yells in shocked turn her head to look at Sasuke sitting close to Savannah and gets jealous. "that's it!" she yells as she runs towards them looks angry.
Danny stopped them as he held his hand out. He went to Sasuke as he grabbed his shirt flinging him to the side away from Savannah.
"what are you doing idiot!" Sasuke yells at Landon in annoyed and stands up from the ground glares at him with hatred look in his eyes,
"yeah go Landon!" Naruto shouts out in a cheering tone.
"it's all your fault you hag! you just had to steal my Sasuke away from me!" Sakura yells at Savannah as she pushed her hard to the ground.
"I never asked him to sit with me in the first place he came on his own I just want to be alone..." Savannah says honestly in a soft tone just laying there on the ground.
Danny helped Savannah up he would have pushed Sakura but he'd never put his hands on a girl. (unless she was an evil ghost) But never a normal girl.
"why me... I wish I was never born..." Savannah whispers softly to herself hope that nobody hears her but oh how wrong she was because Danny heard her.
Sasuke stopped glaring at Landon and turn his head to look at Sakura he glares at her with hatred look in his eyes.
"Savannah are you ok?!" Naruto shouts out in a worried tone as he ran over to Landon and Savannah direction.
"um, Sasuke I can explain..." Sakura says in a nervous and yet flirting tone as she walks over towards him.
"hm there nothing to explain Sakura I saw what you had just done to Savannah stay away from me," he says in a dark tone and walks away from her and walks towards Naruto, Landon and Savanah direction with an emotionless expression.
Danny looked around at everyone.
Savannah looks at Danny with confused and sad eyes. "why you helped me?... she asked him softly and sweetly.
Naruto watches them he hugs Savannah in a friendly way since he was worried about her.
Sasuke glares at Naruto for touching Savannah as he taps his foot in annoyed as he watches them.
Sakura watches Savannah get all the boys attention as she glares at her in jealousy.
...time skip a few hours have passed...
"morning everyone ready for your first day?" Kakashi sensei said calmly with a blank expression.
"Hey, you're late!" Naruto and Sakura both yelled at their sensei in unison as they point their fingers at him.
"..." Sasuke just stares at the sensei with an emotionless expression.
"..." Savannah gave her sensei a weird look.
"..." Danny gave his sensei a serious look.
"well a black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long way," Kakashi said in a cheerful tone pointing in the direction of the road as he smiled at them.
"Grrrr" Naruto growled at him in anger.
" well..." Kakashi clears his throat . " let's get started." he said calmly.
"huh?" Naruto said in a curious tone as he looks at his sensei.
"..." Sasuke, Landon, Sakura, and Savannah waits and watches quietly.
Kakashi walks passed them and place a clock on'' a tree like wood stand and set the timer. " here we go it's set for noon." he said in a bored and calm tone as he pressed the top of the clock.
"Hm?" Naruto said in confusion as he listens to the sensei as the others look at him in surprise.
As the sensei lifts four bells up in the air. ''Your assignment is very simple you just have to take these bells from me Kakashi begin to say,'' he glanced at the at the bells.''That's all there is to it.'' he said looking at the group as the bells rang.
The group looking at each other confused.
Danny yawned clearly bored since this wasn't his assignment.
''If you can't get them by noon, then you go without lunch,'' he said.
" what?! Naruto gawks at what he just heard.
"You will be tied to those posts," he began to say motioning to four posts." and you'll watch while I eat my lunch in front of you." Kakashi sensei said.
Naruto looked ahead as he made a face as both hands were on his cheeks and his eyes bulged out at what he just heard. Sakura held her growling tummy.
Sasuke looked serious with an emotionless expression.
"So that's why," Sasuke began to say in his head as Naruto whined.
' good thing I didn't listen to the teacher about skip breakfast.' Savannah thinks to herself as she listens to the sensei talk.
"He told us not to eat breakfast to make it harder on us." Sakura finishing Sasuke's thought. When suddenly Sakura's eyes widened in realization. "Wait a minute, there's five of us, how come there are only four bells!" she yelled holding up four fingers at this thought only to cause the sensei to smile.
"Well that way," Kakashi began to say with a chuckle. "at least at least one of you will be tied to a post, and ultimately disqualified for failing to complete the mission," he said with a smirk as he hit the bells together as they chimed. "That one goes back to the academy." he finished.
Naruto grumbled in annoyance as Sasuke and Sakura look serious as Danny tried to hold back laughter.
"Then again," he began to say as Danny became serious as he stood up straight, clearly intrigued at what's up the sensei's sleeve.
"all five of you can flunk out too, " Kakashi began to say holding up the bells. "you can use any weapons including shuriken if you're not prepared to kill me, you won't be able to take the bells," he said hiding them in his fist.
"Those weapons are too dangerous, sensei!" Sakura yelled stretching out her arms to the side in defense.
Naruto laughs as he puts his arms behind his head. "Especially since you couldn't even dodge that eraser." he said.
"Class clowns are usually the weakest links, you can safely ignore them, lowest scores, losers," said Kakashi sensei, his head to the side.
Naruto moaned in annoyance as Danny tried to hold in his laughter.
"..." Savannah stayed quiet the whole time as she listens quietly.
"When I say start," Kakashi sensei began repositioning his head forward, "you can begin,'' he said
Naruto moaned in anger as he took out his dagger.
'"I wouldn't do that," Danny warned.
Naruto twirled the dagger on his index finger as he charged at the sensei, the word losers echoing in Naruto's mind as he came at the sensei.
Sasuke and Sakura watch Naruto clearly shocked.
"..." Savannah stays quiet as she looks at her friend with a worried look in her eyes.
Naruto grunts in satisfaction as if he stabbed the dagger into sensei only to realize his arm was caught just in time and with one hand.
"for Pete's sake! Danny shook his head in disappointment, That boy never thinks, he only acts.." suddenly Danny gasped at a realization as he groaned in annoyance at what he just said. ''I'm starting to sound like Clockwork.'' he thought as the sound of a chuckle echoed through his head which didn't even startle Danny.
It was Clockwork. ''You've finally figured something out,'' said Clockwork as Danny smiled.
''Yes, I suppose so,'' said Danny in his head, once that was done he quickly put his attention back on sensei who had Naruto by the elbow.
"Don't always be in such a hurry, I didn't say start yet," said Kakashi sensei as Naruto grunted in a struggle.
the sensei having one hand on Naruto's head and the other holding Naruto's arm behind his head.
Naruto continued to groan as he struggled.
Sakura and Sasuke backing up as Danny was already away from the...demonstration.
Savannah sighs and watches Naruto as she standing between Danny and Naruto.
once the sensei was satisfied he released Naruto as he grunted once more before stepping ahead as he tried to catch his breath.
''He's so fast, I didn't even see it.'' thought Sakura.
Sasuke crinkled his eyebrows as he thought. '' So this is a jonin ,''
Kakashi sensei turned his head to the side. "But, you came at me with the full intention of destroying me, so" he began as Sakura groaned in annoyance but a serious look of determination. "How can I say this," he began as he looked at the group.
Sasuke a neutral look and Naruto's goofy smile.
"..." Savannah stayed quiet as she listens carefully.
"I'm actually starting to like you guy's," he said.
they gave a look of determination ready to leap into action.
"Get ready...and ... start!" he yelled as they did just that.
... at the Hokage office...
Two men sat alone at a small table, one clearly a ninja and the other a Hokage, they seemed to be in a deep conversation as birds sang nearby.
"Iruka, what did you wish to see me about?" he began to say looking down. "I don't think you came here merely to drink tea with me and chat, did you?"
"Naruto's been assigned to squad seven," he said grasping his fingers together. "The jonin in charge of that group, just how tough a trainer is he?" he sasked.
"Kakashi you mean, you are concerned about him," said the Hokage as the other man moved his fists on the table.
"I am!, I heard a rumor about his training methods." said the man.
"Mhm," said the Hokage handing him a book. The man looked down at the book and then back at the Hokage.
"What's this?" he asked looking up at the man.
the Hokage looked at him with a serious look. "All the trainees that's ever been assigned to him, those who passed and those who failed." began the Hokage.
the man gasped. "may I," he said picking up the book as he looked through it gasping at what he read." This ...this is..."
...
Sasuke's flashback about what the sensei said, Kakashi sensei appeared by a lake, his arm behind his head in a relaxed position. ''Ninja, must learn to conceal their movements and hide effectively the end of the flashback.
Sasuke and Sakura, hid in the bushes,
Sakura blushing a tad excessively if I may add.
Danny sighed as he hid above a tree as he leaned on the trunk invisibly, he chuckled as he watched the others hiding methods.
Savannah was hiding on top of a tree away from Danny's side as she looks focus.
''Well they understand that much,'' Kakashi sensei thinks to himself as he placed a hand on his head, in a sign of relief. ''They've hidden well,'' he said as he suddenly looked up with a small gasp. ''Huh?'' he said placing his hand down as he looked up towards Naruto. Though he probably wasn't that surprised.
Naruto, of course, standing there in front of him, his arms crossed a look of seriousness.
Danny slapped his face at what he was seeing, ''The kid really is a moron,'' he thought as he watched the scene
embarrassed but of course, not enough to look away.
'' what does Naruto think he is doing?'' Savannah thinks to herself as she watches them with a worried look in her eyes.
''You and me right now! fair and square! let's go!'' Naruto yelled.
Kakashi sensei's hand slipped away as his head quickly slanted sideways in disgust.
''Fool..'' said Sauske softly as he spied from the tree.
Kakashi sensei looked towards Naruto, ''You know compared to the others you're a bit weird..'' he said.
Naruto looked towards sensei with one eye closed. ''Oh yeah, the only thing weird here is your haircut,'' said Naruto as he ran towards the sensei full force.
Danny shook his head as he viewed the scene. ''I wouldn't...'' Danny began to say.
Naruto ran closer and closer towards the sensei.
Kakashi sensei stared at Naruto as he reached into his sack.
just as Naruto stopped suddenly in front of him.
Kakashi sensei glanced at the sky. ''shinobi battle techniques, part 1,'' he reached inside his back. ''taijutsu, the physical art.'' he said.
Naruto continued to glare when suddenly he looked at him in shock, 'Taijutsu that's hand to hand combat,' he bent his head slightly as he grits his teeth in anger, 'then why is he reaching for a weapon?' he thought angrily.
Kakashi sensei gasped as he brought out... a book.
Danny raised an eyebrow at what just happened, 'a book?' he thought as he continued to observe, happy that the sensei wasn't looking for the others and especially him and Savannah at the moment, hey he wasn't complaining.
'' really? he pulled out a book in the middle of a fight?'' Savannah thinks to herself as she looks at the sensei in disbelief.
Naruto looked at sensei open-mouthed. 'What the?' he thought,
''What are you waiting for, make your move,'' he said,
Naruto didn't move, ''But I mean, why are you reading that book?!'' he asked.
Kakashi sensei was seen reading, as if it was just any other day, ''Why? to find out what happens in the story of course,'' he said in a casual tone.
Naruto blinked in confusion.
Danny put a hand to his chin in thought.
'' oh he is one of those kinds of teachers who think they are the best.'' Savannah thinks to herself as she sighs tiredly as she watching quietly.
''Don't let it bother you,'' he said as Naruto still looked utterly confused. ''With your weak attacks, it doesn't really matter if i'm reading or whatever,'' said Kakashi sensei in a nonchalant tone.
Naruto grit his teeth in anger as he clenched his fists.
Danny snorted softly to himself,
"..." Savannah stayed quiet as she watches.
Naruto ran angrily, once again towards the sensei.
Danny rolled his eyes as he watches the scene before him.
"..." Savannah's heart beat fast in worried as she kept watching.
Naruto hiked up his sleeve before running towards sensai. ''I'm going to crushed you!'' he yelled mid-run. ''Gah!'' he yelled as he was about to punch the sensei.
Kakashi sensei held up his hand as the punch suddenly appeared to be more of a tap.
Just to make matters worse! Naruto screamed in frustration as he attempted a kick only to cause the sensei to duck and kneel with a look of utter concentration as he continued to read.
Naruto jumped as he squatted quickly before attempting a punch as sensei ducked as he continued to read only to find sensei, right behind him.
''Huh?'' he asked shakily once realization finally hit him.
''Don't let your enemy get behind you all the time,'' he said in a smooth tone.
'' uh oh this can't be good.'' Savannah thinks to herself as she watches the scene.
Sakura gasped from a nearby bush, 'the hand sign to focus his chakra,' she began to say as she viewed sensei's fingers. 'is that the sign of the tiger? that's dangerous he could destroy Naruto with that.' she thought.
Sauske observed his hands from another bush as he squatted into view. ''that hand sign is for a fire jutsu, he's not just toying with Naruto, he's going to demolish him.' thought Sasuke.
Danny glanced at a book Clockwork left him in his knapsack as he looked for the mysterious symbol, something didn't feel right in the pit of Danny's stomach.
" I wish I can help him but I should not cut in for now.'' Savannah thinks to herself as she kept watching.
''Naruto get out of there quick he's going to destroy you!'' yelled Sakura as sensei was crouched behind Naruto.
Naruto gave Sakura a dumb look.
''Too late,'' said Kakashi sensei with a chuckle as Naruto gasped as he looked towards the sensei.
Danny put a hand over his mouth as he tried but clearly failed to hold in a chuckle, luckily for him sensei and the others aside from Savannah did not notice his position.
'' what is going on here?'' Savannah thinks to herself as she watches the scene in confusion.
''Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu!'' yelled Kakashi sensei as Naruto cries out.
Danny's eyes wide in shock once he realized, where exactly those fingers were headed.
' is he going to do what I think he going to?' Savannah thinks to herself as she watches the scene in shock.
Too late was right as Naruto squealed from the sudden pain as they became softer a funny look on Naruto's face.
Danny quickly covered his eyes, ''Oh my god.'' he said not expecting what came next.
He quickly flung Naruto across the training grounds. ''A thousand years of death!'' Kakashi sensei yelled.
Danny watched open-mouthed, ''What in the...?'' he thought to himself.
'' That was so digesting to watch I can't believe Kakashi sensei did that to Naruto.'' Savannah thinks to herself with a weirded out look on her face.
Sakura watched the scene with a 'seriously?' look as she was hidden in the bushes. ''That wasn't a hand sign of all, he just poked him,'' she said softly to herself, clearly disappointed.
Sasuke had a hand on a rock made wall as he looked down, eyes closed. ''Those two are just...total idiots,'' he said softly to himself.
Danny smirked at Sasuke's remark as he aside from Savannah was able to hear his soft-spoken words.
"..." Savannah heard Sasuke's responds but kept her mouth shut as she watching quietly.
Naruto splashed as he hit the water, the sensei stared at him up until the splash as he took out his book moving on as if the whole scene never happened.
Danny chuckled softly. ''Wow,'' he said barely above a whisper.
''I hope Naruto is okay if he doesn't save himself, I will go pull him out of water myself I don't care if I get caught being seen by Kakashi sensei.'' Savannah thinks to herself as she watches everything.
''Okay,'' said Kakashi sensei as he opened his book once again. ''where was I?'' he said in a calm tone.
As Sasuke reaches towards a weapon with a serious expression.
Sakura looks towards the sensei with a raised eyebrow. 'that must be against the rules! he's a jonin, we can't possibly match his strength.' she thought as she looked up towards the sensei as she hid in the bushes.
Naruto continued to sink further and further below the water, as gurgled mumbles bubbled through the water, as an angry Naruto with gritted teeth was shown, clearly determined. 'I'm not going to let it end like this.' he thought as he swam towards the surface. 'I'll attack from the water...' he thought, as he readied his weapons. 'now' he thought as the weapons flew out of the water towards sensei.
Sasuke watched the scene with a serious look on his face.
Sakura gasped just as the weapons fired out of the water.
Danny raised an eyebrow as he smirked, ''I knew he was too stubborn,'' he said softly.
As the weapons circled the area Kakashi sensei still reading, held up two fingers as the pointed weapons slipped onto his fingers.
Savannah's eyes, suddenly go wide in shock as she stayed quiet watching scene carefully. '' I hope Naruto knows what he is doing.'' she thinks to herself.
Sasuke watches the scene as he reaching for something.
... The Hokage Office...
''It can't be,'' said a man with a ponytail and steel headband, '' this is even worse than the rumors,'' he yelled as he read a small book, mesmerized by its contents.
''Kakashi's test may be a bit more difficult than the others,'' the Hokage said
the ponytail man looked up in his direction wide-eyed, and completely perturbed by what he just heard.'' A bit more difficult? not a single student has ever passed his test.''
the Hokage looked down with a serious look as he glanced at the man before him, '' That's true, they all tried but not one of them could live up to Kakashi's standards.'' he looked him in the eyes, ''So they were all,'' he began to say, a serious look on his face,''Eliminated.''
... The Woods...
Naruto coughed up some water as he crawled out of the river, he groaned as he climbed onto the surface.
''What are you doing now?'' asked Kakashi sensei in a bored tone, the book still in his hand. ''You know you won't get lunch unless you take a bell by noon,'' he said nonchalantly.
Naruto sat on the ground his legs positioned in an odd way as he looked up towards sensei, ''I know, you told us already!'' he yelled as the water dripped off him.
' oh phew Naruto is alright I am glad I was almost worried there for a moment.' Savannah thinks to herself.
''You look pretty wobbly for someone who is going to surpass the Hokage,'' he said.
Naruto's stomach growled in hunger,
' is Kakashi sensei trying to make Naruto angry on purpose? because if he is it's working.' Savannah thinks to herself.
Danny smirked as he went invisible, walking towards Kakashi sensei as he grabbed a bell, he smirked as he walked towards a tree placing a foot on a branch as he tucked a hand under his armpit as he held up the bell between his thumb and index finger.
" huh?! Landon got one of those bells by using that ability easily? I was trying not to get the bells just yet because I wanted Naruto to get one first, but if Naruto didn't get one I guess I should try to get one now.' Savannah thinks to herself.
''You told us not to eat breakfast, how can I fight when I'm starving to death!'' yelled Naruto.
Sasuke and Sakura made faces of starvation once they realized their predicament. ''Breakfast, I didn't even have dinner last night,''Sakura whined in her head. 'a really bad idea to go on a diet.' she thought to herself.
Kakashi sensei walked away from Naruto.
''So you caught me off guard!'' he yelled holding up his arms, '' that's all it was,'' he said as sensei continued to walk away. ''believe it!'' yelled Naruto as he slammed his hands on the ground.
Danny chuckled as he became visible just as the sensei walked by the tree, ''Game set match,'' said Landon holding up the bell as sensei looked at Landon in astonishment as he held out his hand, not uttering a word as Danny placed the bell in sensei's hand.
"..." Savannah sighs as she uses her vampire speed to run towards Kakashi sensei, without him seeing her, because every second she's there is critical, next she sneaks behind him and quickly grabs the second bell easily, as she then stopped and walks towards Danny's side. " there done." she says softly.
''Seriously?!'' yelled Naruto as he held up his arms towards the sky in an infuriating pose.
Sakura and Sasuke looked at Landon open-mouthed.
''I'm so hungry, I don't have any strength,'' Naruto said as his stomach growled. ''But I can't let that stop me,'' he looked at Landon, 'and I can't be upset of not getting first.' he closed his eyes as he clutched the ground with his fingers, ''I gotta get one of those bells no matter what!'' yelled Naruto shakily as he clutched his fingers towards the ground. ''I'll find the strength somehow, believe it,'' he glared at Kakashi sensei who was still reading that book, ''I'm gonna pass this test and i'm not going back to the academy!''
The sounds of flowing river echos through the air, ''I will become a ninja!'' said Naruto in a determined tone as multiple Naruto's emerged above the water,
''mhm?'' said Kakashi sensei as he glanced behind himself as he saw the many Naruto's,
Danny looked at the scene open-mouthed, 'Impressive, for an average human.' he thought to himself as he leaned against the tree, arms crossed as he watched the fight.
' I am glad Naruto is using the shadow clone jutsu to prove himself to Kakashi sensei.' Savannah thinks to herself as she watches the fight with a kind smile on her face.
''Haha, your overconfident sensei!'' yelled Naruto as he and his copies, glided above the sky, Naruto still dripping from the water. ''That's why you weren't ready for a shadow clone attack my best jutsu!'' he yelled as he glided towards Kakashi sensei full force.
Sakura was still hiding under the bushes as she looked wide-eyed at what she was seeing. 'Seven Naruto's?' she thought to herself, keeping a serious face,
the Naruto's ran towards Kakashi sensei full force. Upon closer inspection,
Sakura gasped in realization, ''What? they're not images, they're real!' she thought as she blinked, 'How could he do that?' she asked herself,
Sasuke watching from the top of a tree with mix emotions shocked but yet emotionless expression.
Kakashi sensei looked amused as the many Naruto's came towards him, ''It looks like the stories were true, he can create shadow clones.'' he said in an amazed tone as he recalled a memory of a rumor.
Danny noticed the sensei as he seemed lost in thought. Curious as to why Danny concentrated on sensei's mind as he got a visual of the memory.
"..." Savannah's eyes were on Naruto and on Kakashi sensei as she watching everything quietly.
...Flashback...
Naruto stood atop a tree as he rested a hand on a cylindrical container, glaring at Mizuki. ''If you ever lay a hand on my sensei,'' he said as his eyes bulged in the enemies direction. ''I kill you!'' he said in a serious tone as Mizuki gave him a crazy look, his eyes bulging in horror. ''Show me what you could do nine tail fox!'' he yelled as multiple Naruto's surrounded looked at the scene in amazement, 'those aren't just illusions, they're solid clones!' he said in his head with a smirk. 'he's mastered an extremely advanced jutsu!'
...present tense...
Kakashi sensei looked at Naruto intrigued, ''it's a forbidden skill, and he defeated Mizuki with it,'' said Kakashi sensei as he looked at the multiple Naruto's. ''great technique, but I don't think you can maintain it for very long.'' he said as the Naruto's ran towards him. ''You talk like your the best, Naruto but you're still the worst student.'' said he said as Naruto came closer and closer.
Danny chuckled as he noticed Naruto's motives. ''You can't beat me with this jutsu,'' he said in a bored tone as the soft sound of a bell echo's as the sensei suddenly realized what just happened, ''What?!'' he yelled as he noticed a Naruto on his back. ''he got me from behind!'' he yelled as the other Naruto's drew closer.
Sasuke looked at the scene in shock.
Kakashi sensei looked around disoriented before settling on focusing on Naruto.
'Woah,' thought Sakura as she looked up from her hiding spot, clearly blushing.
' great planning ahead Naruto I am proud of you.' Savannah thinks to herself as she watching everything quietly as she smiles.
Naruto chuckled evilly, as he had his arms grasping under sensei's armpits. ''didn't you say. 'don't let your enemies get behinnd you?' ''Good advice, sensei., believe it!'' he yelled as a shadow clone jumped up towards the sensei's face. ''I had one of my clones come out of the river! then sneak up behind you super quiet,'' said the REAL Naruto jumped up until face to face with Kakashi sensei as he came at him full force. ''Now this is for nailing me in the butt earlier!'' he yelled.
Sakura looked at the fight in amazement, clearly blushing. 'When did Naruto get so cool?' she asked herself.
Sasuke smiled at the scene, 'A diversionary tactic, nice.' he said.
Naruto yelled as he rammed in the air towards sensei's face. ''You're mine and so are those bells!'' he yelled...THUD! Danny was impressed as he watched the scene but his smirk faltered when the thud, echoed amongst the crowd. Apparently, multiple Naruto's rammed into each other, as one Naruto tackled another, Naruto watched in horror as the scene played slowly in his mind.
' oh no Kakashi sensei must have end up tricking Naruto without him knowing it.' Savannah thinks to herself as she kept watching.
''I uh?'' asked Landon as he appeared by another tree scratching his head at what just happened.
The Original Naruto watched from the air as he saw the whole thing. ''Huh?'' said Naruto as the rogue Naruto held onto the shadow clone bringing him down.
''He's holding himself!'' said Sakura as the shadow clones continued to fall. ''Naruto punched, Naruto!'' yelled Sakura in shock as the shadow clone and rogue Naruto fell to the ground as shadow Naruto groaned in pain. ''It's you,'' said Naruto softly in realization, once he was over the shock he quickly pointed in anger. ''You're Kakashi sensei aren't you!'' he yelled in anger. ''You transformed into me using a jutsu!'' yelled Naruto as a fight emerged amongst the many Naruto's. ''You're Kakashi sensei,'' he yelled as punches were thrown.
Danny blinked in shock as he watched the fight.
''You smell like old man.'' ''You are!'' ''No you are!'' they said as one punched one in the face, ''No you are!'' another yelled.
Landon blinked watching the fight 'I could really use some popcorn right now,' Danny thought as he continued watching. 'too bad they aren't invented yet.' he thought to himself. '
"..." Savannah stayed quiet as she kept watching the scene quietly.
'Hey, let's undo the jutsu, yeah that's it! believe it!'' he yelled as he punched one in the face. ''then they'll be just two of us, so we'll know who's who!'' he yelled as a Naruto held one by his collar. ''Should have thought of that sooner, fool.'' one taunted, ''You're the jerk, why didn't you think of it!'' one yelled as another grabbed one by his shoulders as he began shaking him. ''Just undo the jutsu!'' he yelled as a cloud of dust emerged only to be arraticated seconds later, a Naurto standing in the center of the ground and one on a tree branch. A shadow of a beaten and apparently original Naruto appeared, he groaned in pain.
'Naruto, you are so not cool.' thought Sakura with a unimppressed loo on her face.
'he got you with a replacement jutsu, loser.' thought Sasuke very unimpressed.
Landon facepalmed, 'he really doesn't think, does he.. fooled me though. Shouldn't make that mistake again.' he thought as he looked towards Naruto wondering what will happen next.
'with this jutsu, you quickly switch your own body with an object, so your enemy thinks he's attacking you when he's actually attacking a log or rock. Leaving him open to a counter attack.' 'in this case, the jonin let himself get caught, then switched bodies with one of the Naruto clones. So Naruto thought he was aiming at him but actually he was just attacking himself.. 'and that jonin was so smooth, he made Naruto look like a total moron.' thought Sasuke.
Danny raised an eye as he motioned his lip and nods in understanding at what he heard by reading Sasuke's mind.
' I hope Naruto is okay.' Savannah thinks to herself as she kept her eyes on the scene that just happed.
Naruto sighed as he slouched in defeat. Just as a bell sparkled in the sunlight. ''mhm?'' he asked himself as he bent down towards the bell. Gaspin, his mouth open wide at what laid before him. 'A Bell?!' he thought as a big grin emerged across his face. ''I must have got to him with my attack,'' said Naruto as he ran up to it.
Danny eyed the bell on the gound. 'trap, obviously.' he said to himself as he shook his head.
''He dropped a bell!'' Naruto laughed as he bent down to grab it when suddenly a rope tied his feet together as Naruto was hung upside down as he was bounced up and down and side to side. ''What! hey, hey! let me down!'' he yelled as he continued to bounce. ''What is this!?'' he yelled.
Sasuke looked towards Naruto with a blank expression, 'Of course it was a trap.' he thought to himself.
Danny put a hand to his mouth trying to hold back his laughter as he saw what happened to Naruto and hearing Sasuke's comment.
' why is that I am not surprised that Naruto fall for that trap.' Savannah thinks to herself as she shake her head slowly in disappointed.
Naruto continued to squeal and he whined, ''somebody!''
Sasuke looked towards him with an emotionless face. 'that jonin doesn't let down his guard,' he said raising an eyebrow, Danny still reading his mind hoping for some hints.
'even when he's fighting a fool like Naruto.' he finished his thought with a smirk.
''Come on! the bell!' he yelled as he tried reaching for it, vigorously, the tree still has a hold on him of course.
Danny smirked as sensei's hand reached for the bell.
"..." Savannah stayed quiet as she kept watching everything.
Kakashi sensei sighed in disappointment. ''Think before you use a jutsu or else your opponent might use it against you.'' said sensei as he stood up.
''Aww,'' Naruto groaned,
''Oh, and also.'' he flung the bell in the air catching it in his hand as he looked at Naruto. ''if the bait is obvious, don't take it.'' said Kakashi sensei in a smooth calm tone.
Naruto grew angry as he grit his teeth, groaning as he moves side to side.
''A ninja must see through deception.'' said Kakashi sensei in a calm tone, hands on his hips.
''I...get...it,'' said Nauro through gritted teeth as he flapped his arms up and down in anger. ''Gah!'' yelled Naruto as he continued to struggle.
Kakashi sensei turned towards an upside down Naruto, as he continued to flap his arm up and down.''I'm telling you this because you don't get it,'' he said.
Sasuke observed from afar,
''You think you get it,'' he said.
Sasuke gasped at the actions he's seeing.
Danny raised an eyebrow. ''Something doesn't feel right,'' he said as sensei continued.
' why is that my sixth senses is telling me something bad will happen.' Savannah thinks to herself as she watches the scene quietly.
'this is my chance!' Sasuke yelled in his mind as his eyes bulged in realization as he readied his weapons, firing at Kakashi sensei. 'he finally dropped his guard!' thought Sasuke.
''Won't you ever learn?'' he asked Naruto completely off guard as the weapons hit him as he gasped in pain as they hit him across the lawn.
Sakura gasped as Naruto waved his arms up and down. ''He just got blasted from shuriken!'' he yelled as he looked towards Sasuke. ''Are you out of your mind Sauske!?'' yelled Naruto looking at Sasuke with wide eyes. ''you went too far!'' he yelled.
' what the heck just happened!, and here I thought Naruto was stupid.' Savannah thinks to herself as she watching the scene in shocked.
Kakashi sensei fell in slow motion, after face-palming a tree branch.
''You crossed a line, Sasuke,'' said Landon as he clutched his fists in anger gritting his teeth in Sauske's direction.
