"Now then" kakashi begins to speak pulling three bells from his pocket "I have three bells and it is your goal to grab one"

"But sensei you have three bells" Sakura exclaimed

"Yes that is because only three genin can be part of a team, so you have to take these bells from me with the intent to kill me and I will set the clock to twelve. Also, If you fail to grab one by the time the alarm rings you will fail and will not eat lunch, but if three of you get a bell then I will give you lunch and the person who fails will be tied to a stump while we eat our lunch in front of them any Iruka dismissed the class to lunch, Akane waited until the classroom was not packed. she stood up and walked down the aisle,Naruto also stood up and ran in front of Akane who was about to open the door.

"Hey! Akane, Sakura we should eat lunch together, since we are on the same team" Naruto said with a boyish grin across his face.

"No way I'm having lunch with you Naruto" Sakura said with her annoying voice with her hands in a fist. She fangirls at Sasuke who stood up and walked to the door and walks out.

"No thank you Naruto, I'm going to eat at home" Akane said with nodded and walked out of the classroom.

After, lunch all the students came back to meet their senseis. The students sat in the rows with their teammates. Soon jonins came through the door, calling their teams. Then only team seven was left. They waited in silence until an hour had passed.

"What the hell is taking them so long" Naruto says with frustration. He walks to the chalkboard, grabs the eraser, placing the eraser between the doorframe and the door, then closed the door to hold the eraser in place.

"Naruto what are you doing?" Sakura asked with annoyance in her voice

"This is what they get for being late" Naruto replied with a giggle

"Don't do that we will get in trouble" Sakura replies

"they're a jonin how will they fall for that" Sasuke spoke glaring down

"Yeah, Sasuke right no way they will fall for that" Sakura says with her clapping her hands together blushing at Sasuke

Akane blinks with boredom not wanting to be part of Naruto's childish prank. Soon after, the door opens and the eraser falls onto a silver haired man with a mask covering his half his face and his ninja headband tilted sideways, covering his left eye.

Naruto bursts out laughing and Sakura pretends to be innocent.

"My first impression of you guys…. I hate you. Meet me up on the roof in five minutes" he says and a poofs out of sight.


Five minutes later they all meet on the roof and sit on the wide stairs.

"How about we introduce ourselves" The silver haired man says crossing his arm while leaning on the rail behind him

"How do we do that?" Sakura asks

"Well, you know your dreams, hobbies, things you like, and dislike" he replies

"How about you go first, so we can have an example" Naruto asks

"Alright, My name is Kakashi Hatake, and for what I like and dislike well I don't feel like telling you and my dreams I haven't really thought of it .As for my hobbies I have a lot of hobbies." Kakashi answered casually

' He told us nothing, but his name!' Sakura and Naruto both think

"How about you go first" He gesturing at Naruto

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki! I like ramen more specific ichiraku ramen and when Iruka pays for me. I dislike waiting for three minutes for my ramen to be cooked, my hobbies are trying different ramen and comparing them along with training, watering plants and pranking. My future dream is to become the greatest Hokage so everyone in the village will have to acknowledge me and treat me with respect! Believe it! Naruto finishes energetically

' Very energetic like someone I know'. Kakashi thinks of an old memory and mentally smiles . He looks at the redhead next to Naruto. 'I wonder if that could be said of her as well ' he wonders. "How about you next red" gesturing at Akane

"My name is Akane Uzumaki, I like many things and I dislike hypocrites, lazy, arrogant, and anyone useless. My hobbies include reading, training, and learning fuinjutsu. My dreams are to prove my strength and usefulness to someone important" she answers

' Well she is nothing like them, I wonder if he had anything to do with this' Kakashi mentally takes note. He turns to sakura "your turn pink"

Sakura pouts but turns into a smile "My name is Sakura Haruno, what I like...uh I mean". She looks at Sasuke a blushes. "Uh, my hobbies is.. Uh …" She giggles and blushes. "My dreams for the future..." Sakura said blushing and looking at Sasuke with her crazy fangirl eyes.

"Do you dislike anything" Kakashi asks

"Naruto and Ino-pig!" Sakura shouts, while Naruto looked down feeling hurt

'Well, most girls her age to tend to like boys more than training hopely Akane will help her that ' Kakashi thinks

' She is definitely going to be the first person to die in this squad' Akane mentally remarks

" And lastly you" Kakashi gestures at Sasuke

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I hate a lot of things and I don't like particularly like anything. I don't have a dream, but a reality I'm going to restore my clan and kill a certain someone, and to protect someone one dear to me" Sasuke said with a dark tone to his voice that made Sakura and Naruto shiver.

' I hope that someone isn't me ' Naruto thinks fearing for his life

' To protect someone dear to him ' Sakura the words repeat in her mind and feels defeated,but quickly changes to determination ' No I will fight for Sasuke's Love no matter what '

' So, he is committed after all this time as I though ' Akane looks up at Kakashi who was also seemed to expected it already

' As I expected. I have quite a lot of work ahead of me, why did I agree to do this. lord Hokage you knew this didn't you. ' Kakashi tries to not sigh out loud. "Ok then, tomorrow we will have our first mission"

"What type of mission" Naruto says with as he salutes

"A survival mission" Kakashi says

"What do you mean a survival mission?" Sakura asks frowning at what might be a cruel joke

"I will explain it to you tomorrow, and we will meet at designated training ground at five am and bring your ninja gear"Kakashi says and explains the survival mission along with what would happen if they would fail

Naruto grunts while Sakura still determined to not lose. Sasuke's hands tremble and Akane takes a deep breath; they are not prepared for this.

"Oh, yeah I forgot to tell you, don't eat or you will puke" Kakashi says, as he waves them at them


The next morning Akane grabs her ninja equipment and eats a light breakfast then makes her way to the training ground, she arrived at the same time as rest of her team. The group waits for their jonin sensei to arrive. it is until eight when Kakashi finally arrives at the training ground

"You're late!" Sakura and Naruto both point and yell in usion at Kakashi

"Well you see I came across a black cat and I had to take the long way around" Kakashi casually says

' Out of the excuses he could have chosen, he chose that' Akane sighs

questions" Kakashi looks at the genins who have blankly stare at him "good when I say begin you will begin"

The genins move into fighting position while a gust of wind blows in the silence

"Begin" Kakashi yells and jumps to the center of the field taking out a book from his back pouch while Akane, Sakura, and Sasuke jump to hid behind the bushes and Naruto stands in front of Kakashi.

' What is Naruto thinking he's such an idiot and why is Kakashi reading this is a test ' Sakura wonders. She looks over to see Akane and Sasuke carefully watching Naruto

"Alright then get ready Kakashi!" Naruto yells as he charges at Kakashi. He hook punches and roundhouse kicks Kakashi who blocked each strike with ease and without looking up from his book. Naruto then summons shadow clones, the army of Narutos run attacking Kakashi, but he manages to dodge and defeat each clone. Each clone pop and clouds of smoke cover the field. Three clones then jump on to Kakashi and the real Naruto jumps out of the smoke to punch Kakashi, but Kakashi doges Naruto and defeats the clones in one swift move. Naruto hops a couple of time forward to regain his balance, but Kakashi closed his book between his thumbs and makes a tiger seal.

"What jutsu could this be" Akane, Sasuke , and Sakura said still watching cautiously

"What" Naruto says as he slowly turns his head to see Kakashi behind him making the tiger seal, he tries to move but was too late

"One Thousand Years of Death!" Kakashi thrusting the tiger seal at Naruto's bottom

Naruto was sent flying in the area and fell into the river nearby. Naruto climbs out of the river and throws a smoke bomb on the floor and escapes. Naruto hides in the bushes with the rest of his teammates.

When Naruto had thrown the smoke bomb Sasuke makes his move. While Kakashi makes his way back to the center of the field Sasuke attacks him, but just like Naruto's fight with him, kakashi dodge each attack. Eventually Sasuke throws wired shurikens at Kakashi, he successfully ties Kakashi down.

"Fire style: great fireball jutsu" he called out and a fire ball set the wire on fire.

Once he finished the jutsu, there was no trace of Kakashi left. He walks towards the ashes, but a hand grabs onto his ankle and pulls him down into the ground with only his head sticking out of the ground.

While Sasuke was fighting Kakashi, she made her way to another clearing of the training ground but she ran into Sasuke. Confused with seeing him she notices he is injured she tries to protect him, but she was caught in a genjutsu.

Akane was moving to an area nearby, when she saw Sakura get caught in the genjutsu. Akane found Kakashi, she threw a kunai at him with full force. He caught it, but then he realized there was a hidden paper bomb attached to it. A loud 'boom' roared through the training ground Akane waited until the smoke cleared through. She waited until she fell onto the ground, her ankles had been tied down together with wire. She rolled over and was caught in more wires. She continued to rolling over trying to undo the wire. She closes her eyes and concentrating. She blinked and wondered how she would untie herself.

Naruto found Akane and released her from the wires. Naruto being stubborn as he is left her again. Akane dashed back to where she had last seen Sakura, she released the genjutsu.

"Go find Sasuke and I will find will meet back here understood" Akane commands Sakura who would argue but nods and leaves to finds Sasuke.

Akane maneuvers her way through the trees and finds an orange figure hanging from their ankle. "I'll get you down Naruto" she cuts the rope and Naruto falls on his back on to the ground hard.

"Thanks Akane" He salutes her dizzily.

"Follow me, we're meeting with Sakura and Sasuke" she points to the direct she had came from

"What! No, way I'm not going where Sasuke is going!" He yells crossing his arms making an x.

"Hey, be quiet. Fine don't come if you want to fail" she gets up and starts walking away

"Wait Akane, don't leave" he shouts as he follows her


All four genin meet back together.

"So, what are we going to do" Sakura asks

Naruto chuckles "Ha, it's not like we are here to work together right" Naruto says jokingly

Sasuke and Akane frown at the same time, both knowing they will have to.

"We have too" Akane said.

"Wait what?" Naruto said taken back by surprise.

"She's right, we have to call a truce even though I don't want to" Sasuke replies. The other three genin nod with approval

"So what's the plan, there are only three bells and four of us" Sakura pointed out

"Yes, but he did not say that the bells had to be in one piece" Akane replied

"Hm… someone should distract him and then we attack full force and ... we should get rid of his book" Naruto smirks " I have a plan". Akane and the other two look at Naruto confused but listen to his plan and add suggestions. Once they finished they all scattered


The memorial stone stood there sparkling in the sunlight. There was three bentos in front of the stone. Naruto casually walks to the memorial stone and sits in front, picking up a bento. "Oh looks like lunch is all for me" He says, grabbing the chopsticks in his hand.

"Is that so?" Kakashi appears behind him. Naruto turn around and kicks the book out of Kakashi's hands and flies to the post with clock on top. Kakashi in shock runs after his book, but is attacked by Akane and Sasuke.

While they both fight with Kakashi, Sakura grabs the book and gives it to Naruto.

Akane and Sasuke jump back. Kakashi turns to Naruto who sat at the bottom of the post flipping through the pages and starts to read out loud. Kakashi freezes in embarrassment and runs to Naruto, who starts to rip off a page. To which Kakashi crys at him to stop.

Kakashi opens his eyes to see four genin standing in front of him. Sakura and Sasuke had each their own bell while Akane and Naruto each had half of a bell.

"You never said anything about having half of a bell, so this counts. We all pass" Naruto says with a grin across his face " Oh, yeah I didn't rip any pages out. This a random sheet of paper" he gives Kakashi the book.

"You are all something else." Kakashi chuckles "Well then I guess you all pass" Kakashi gives them a thumbs up and smiles "I'll go inform the hokage, but before that there is something else I want to do before I go" he gestures the genin to follow him to the memorial stone.

"Those who break the rules are scum, but those who leave their comrade behind are worse than scum. These words were from a friend of mine who after telling me those words died. I tested you guys to see if you would use teamwork, which you did and that is why you passed." The genin stood in silence letting the words sink in their minds.

" You are dismissed, go home and rest" Kakashi waves at the genin who walk their way home.

"Akane" he said with a serious tone to his voice

"Yes Kakashi" Akane turns around to meet his eyes

"Are you working with Danzo and if so I will remove you from my team" he glares at her speaking with a threatening tone

"I haven't spoken to Danzo in years, and Lord Hokage requested me to enter the academy to join a genin team. If have a problem with that then address it with Lord third and if there is anything else you have to say tell me or I will take my leave" Akane replied

"No, you may leave" he says turning back to the memorial stone.
