Chapter 9 [.It's a start.]

Everyone in the room was now staring down all the sensei. They had left it up to Kakashi to give them the news. "Well," "So he speaks..." Sakura huffed as she went and sat back down into her seat. Kakashi half smiled while looking around, both Asuma and Kurena pushed him to announce the big news. "Sakura you are correct. We are moving it up to a week. You all will be isolated in a near by forest."

He paused for a moment then went on. "There will be stones that each of you will have to collect." "Keh, that will be easy. Akamaru will sniff them out." Kiba smirked as he patted his dog. Kakashi gave a sigh, [They think its that easy eh...] "It wont be as easy as you think. There will be battles for each stone. Some battles easy some harder then others." Ino leaned back into her seat as best she could with out getting drooled on by the fan girl bulldogs.

Sasuke quickly stood up out of his seat, "Yo, Sasuke, what is it?" "What are these stones supposed to do for us anyways?" So after that Sakura stood up, "Since it's a stone it should be able to give us new jutsu's right?" Ino rolled her eyes; [She only asked that question because she NEEDS a jutsu.] Everyone in the room started to whisper about what jutsu it would be or if it would let you pick if you bring them all together.

Through all the whispering Kakashi pulled out his famous book, glanced at it for a while before getting kicked in the back of the leg by Kurena, "We have to get them all started soon! Its no time for you to be reading..." she paused for a moment after getting a glance of what was in the book, "THAT book." He put it away. "Eh...they don't do anything Sakura. Sasuke this is good training, but that's about all." "EHHH!?" Everyone in the room fell to the ground.

Naruto quickly stood up onto the table and started to scream, "What?! I get all worked up about a new jutsu to impress Sakura Chan and you say they don't do ANYTHING for you!" Sakura turned bright red at the thought of Naruto trying to impress her. She pulled him off the table and started to beat him over the head. "Oh boy." Kakashi rushed over to where they were and pulled them apart smiling at Hinata, "I'm sorry Hinata. You shouldn't have to see this."

Hinata half smiled at Kakashi as she sat in her chair. "Tch baka Naruto and Sakura. Hinata doesn't need to be teamed up with those losers." Since Shikamaru was sitting by Kiba he heard everything and I'm sure everyone else around him. He sighed. [Being teamed up with Ino was never this troublesome...] he thought. He glanced over to Chouji who didn't seem very happy. All of Shino's bugs were REALLY getting to him. "They're all in my food Shino!" Shikamaru chuckled some as Shino kept the cool look and ignored Chouji.

Sasuke was in disgust, was this all so that one of the girls could get closer to him? Was it all a joke!? "Why even go to training! Tch...What if I don't want-" he was cut off by Asuma appearing in front of him. It startled Sasuke, he got into a fighting stance and Asuma sat him down, "If you don't do it, you fail as a ninja." Sasuke glared at Asuma for a while until he turned his head to the table. He started to curse under his breath.

"All right everyone follow me." Kurena smiled as she walked out of the room with Asuma to her right. Kakashi had told them all to stick to there partners. Ino watched as they all stood together like a pack of ants. "Hm...There goes, Shino and Chouji, Shikamaru and Kiba, Sasuke and Ino, Naruto, Sakura and Hinata. That's about it." He checked then pulled out his book, started to read it while walking behind making sure none of them got left behind.

Everyone walked in silence, all for Sakura and Naruto. "Don't touch me!" She yelled, "I wouldn't date you! I already told you that!" Ino looked behind her to find Hinata quietly walking. "Man there going to traumatize her..." Sasuke kept taking glances at Ino, was she going to stay that quiet the hole way? He cleared his throat as loud as he could to get her attention. "Huh? Oh, what's the matter Sasuke?" Ino turned to him.

What to say to her was the question now. He wasn't really the social type. He decided to play nice guy for a while. "About what...I said before." "About not helping me and letting me do it on my own?" She snapped back at him. He frowned. "Well...ya." He felt like he was talking through his teeth. "So now you want my help?" She chirped. Sasuke on the other hand didn't like this good guy act. Even though she was on his team didn't mean he had to be nice did it?

"Huh Sasuke?" He stuck his hands into his pocket and walked forward and faster, "keep up." Ino was confused, "was he trying to say sorry for being such a jerk..." she half smiled and went to catch up with Sasuke. Sakura took a moment to stop arguing with Naruto, as she noticed no tension between Sasuke and Ino. She pulled Hinata to the side and attached their arms as they walked.

Hinata on the other hand looked confused. Ino was the only friend who ever did that to here. It was a best friend thing. "What's wrong Sakura Chan?" ['Don't call her CHAN Hinata Chan!' Ino Chan...I'm sorry I'm so polite.] She thought. Sakura smiled at her and shook her head, "Nothing. I figured that if we were going to be on a team for a whole week we should at least be friends! Ne?" Hinata smiled some. [Ino Chan wont like this very much...gomen ne...] "hm...Sakura Chan."

Sakura smiled, the more she got to know Hinata the more she would tell her. To get what you want you have to do anything you can! Naruto scratched the top of his head. He couldn't put his finger on it but Sakura seemed to be up to something. "Sakura Chan, Hinata Chan, are you guys getting alone?" Sakura rolled her eyes as Hinata giggled. "Leave it to Naruto to ask stupid questions." She said.

"Wow it's big!" Ino exclaimed as they all stopped in front of the forest. "Yes it is. This is where you all will be. If you step out of this forest you will be taken off the training grounds and fail." Asuma announced. Sasuke smirked. Ino looked half-cute standing they're looking around the forest. Sakura was still clung to Hinata as she went to examine the forest as best she could. "A week in there. What are we supposed to eat?" She asked. "Hmmm anything you can find." All the girls there gagged.

"Anything you can find? You're kidding right? There's a ramen stand not far from here! The city's like a 10-minute walk!" Ino yelled. "Ahh that's the thing about training in forests and training." Kakashi said pulling out 5 scrolls. "What are those for?" Sakura asked pointing at them as Naruto went over and stared at them dumb founded. "Ehhh...these are half the size of us. They have straps to...Hmmm." She stood there trying to figure out what was going on.

Soon before it was strapped onto his back. "WHAT!? GET THIS OFF ME ITS HEAVY!" Kakashi smiled. "These you will be carrying. It's up to the person in a group who carries them." Ino looked at Sasuke he didn't seem to make any sign of concern on whom will carry it. She looked around as they all got passed out. Shikamaru took it and carried it out of his own free will. Ino frowned some, "If that were me with him I'd have to force him to carry that thing." She said to her self. Shino was carrying the scroll on his back.

Ino had heard him say that it was easy for him to carry it because his bugs could help him, what ever that meant. "Yo Ino, Sasuke." Ino snapped back into her team to be staring up at Kakashi. This scroll was big. Well half Ino's size but thick. Both Sasuke and her stared at it for a while. "I guess I'll take it." Sasuke shot a look to Ino who already had her hand on it and was about to place in on her back. "Suit your self." He said.

"All right rules." Kurena stood in front of them all. She started to announce everything, "First things first, do not open those scrolls till the fourth day. If you even take one glance inside one of us will pop out and your out, with a big F. You will have to collect three stones. While you're in that forest there will be people awaiting you all. Ready to battle at anytime. You will have to be ready. You have three tries. How the training goes is one groups easy, another medium, and the other hard. If you fail to get any stones what so ever you will fail and will have to take it over again by your self's. I think that's about it. Now go."

Ino picked up the scroll; [man this is heavy.] Sasuke walked in front of her then started to run off before anyone decided to pop out at them. He didn't want to fight right when he got there. He was a smart kid and decided to wait and see who was easy and hard. Plus it was already almost night. Ino ran after him then fell with the scroll. Shikamaru kind of stopped wanting to help her but Kiba yelled to him to go. "Ahh Ino. Be careful."

He took off soon after. Sasuke stopped and stood in front of her with his hands in his pockets staring at her. "Let's go." Ino got to her feet and decided to take it slow. This scroll was heavy but she kind of fell to the side. Sasuke took a glance at her and kept walking, it was heavy but if she wanted to be the strongest and prettiest ninja of all she had to get through this.
