Disclaimer; Still don't own it, still never will, and the world is probably a better place for that. There will be absolutely no Muppets in this story, I'm sure I'll find a way to get some pocky in this chapter. Now, an inspirational and enlightening quote…

A Different Fox Tale

Chapter 5

Likes, Dislikes, and bells?

After Kakashi had dried his face off he told them to meet on the roof for formal introduction "well, lets start by getting to know each other better, state your name, likes and dislikes, dreams for the future and your hobbies"

The three genins stared for a few seconds before Sakura finally broke the silence "maybe you could go first and show us how its done sensei" Kakashi stared at her silently for nearly a minute before answering just to annoy her "my name is Hatake Kakashi, I have no desire to tell you my likes and dislikes, dreams for the future…" he paused for a second, shrugged "and I have lots of hobbies"

Sakura sighed in frustration, Sasuke's eye twitched, Naruto Yawned…

"Well then, your turn pinky" Sakura glared at him, she hated being called pinky "my name is Haruno Sakura, what I like is…" she blushed, completely forgetting she was mad at Kakashi "I hate Naruto" Naruto just yawned, "my dream for the future is…" she blushed again " and my hobbies are…" she glanced at Sasuke and blushed brightly.

"OK, you, the depressed looking one" Sasuke glanced at Kakashi "my name is Uchiha Sasuke, I like pocky and training, I dislike stupid people and people who break promises, my dream…" he paused and looked thoughtful for a moment "no, my ambition is to surpass my brother in strength and skill and one day become ANBU commander, my hobbies are training, reading, shogi and…" Sasuke blushed slightly "I like to cook"

Everybody was silent for a few seconds, then muffled laughter could be heard from Naruto and Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura glared at them until they stopped laughing, which was several minutes later "Ok then" Kakashi stated, bringing attention back to himself "now you, the water wielding weirdo"

Naruto glared for a second, then grinned confidently, it was much different then his usual stupid grin, Sakura actually blushed slightly "my name is Uzumaki Naruto, I like training, ramen and pocky, I dislike the three minute wait after putting the water in my instant cup ramen…" 'Great, a ramen addict' Kakashi thought "and people who try to make me do stupid, pointless things, my ambition is to become Hokage someday, my hobbies are training, pranks, and playing go"

"OK that's enough of that, tomorrow we will begin out duties as shinobi of the leaf, to start off it will be something with just the four of us" Sakura looked excited, Naruto looked bored and Sasuke looked like he always did. He waited for one of his students to say something, some leafs could be heard blowing past them in the wind…

"We will start with survival training" he paused expecting some kind of complaint, he got none "There's a 66 Percent rate of failure for this test and if you fail you go back to the academy" "What?" he finally got a response from Sakura, she stared at him shocked, her eyes as wide as dinner plates, Sasuke's eye twitched twice, Naruto yawned.

Kakashi got bored with trying to mess with them "be at training ground seven, at exactly seven in the morning, oh and don't eat breakfast, you'll just throw up anyway" he then pulled an orange book from his hip pouch (Itcha Itcha Paradise) and walked away giggling perversely.

Naruto looked at his teammates, "hey, you guys wanna go and get some ramen with me?" Sasuke glared at him and walked off, muttering something about finding his brother, Sakura glanced between him and Sasuke for a few seconds before she also shot Naruto a quick cold glare and ran after Sasuke.

"Well, I can still have ramen with Itachi-sensei" the blonde muttered to himself then grinned "if I'm lucky he might even pay" then he went sprinting through the village toward Ichiraku Ramen.

The next morning Sasuke and Sakura arrived at training ground seven at exactly six fifty-nine, they waited for a minute, nobody else arrived…

For nearly three hours Sakura was trying to flirt with Sasuke, and he was trying to completely ignore her so he could look all broody and cool, then at ten fifty-five they could see a short figure walking toward them, he got to them just as Sasuke's watch hit eleven. At the same time Kakashi appeared in a puff of smoke, he waved lazily and grinned (though it wasn't very noticeable through his mask).

"Sorry I'm late, you see I saw this fish drowning and…" "Liar!" Sakura interrupted him; it was an obvious lie, even if a fish could drown, his clothes where dry. "Well anyway, you all have until noon to get these bells" he pointed to the two bells hanging from his hip "whoever doesn't get a bell fails, has to go back to the academy and doesn't get lunch" Sakura looked as if she where about to die, Sasuke's eye twitched a whole three times, Naruto grinned, he was really glad he had listened to Itachi-sensei and had breakfast.

"Oh and just to make sure you know you failed, I'm even going to eat in front of you while the one who failed is tied to that stump" he gestured toward three stumps that where lined up "and remember, if you want to pass, you must come at me with intent to kill"

He waited for the weak student to show him or herself, with every group he failed, the weakest would always attack before he said go, and he could also intimidate the other two by showing how fast he is, sadly it didn't happen, "go!" two of them quickly hid themselves.

Naruto just stood there trying to look cool "you know you cant beat me stupid, why didn't you hide?" Naruto just grinned "cause I know the ultimate Ninjutsu" he quickly performed several hand seals, Kakashi just raised his visible eyebrow and stood watching curiously.

Naruto finished with what looked like a time out hand sign /Kage Bunshin No Jutsu/ several puffs of smoke cleared revealing fifty Naruto's, they all grinned and yelled "beat this!" Kakashi just raised an eyebrow and performed a jutsu of his own /Katon – Karyuu Endan/ he exhaled a white-hot stream of fire that instantly destroyed thirty of Naruto's clones.

Naruto stared wide-eyed, all twenty remaining clones then yelled, "Yea well now its time to face the ultimate technique of the anything goes style of martial arts" they all glanced at each other, Kakashi looked as if he where ready for anything, but was really shocked when all the clones suddenly yelled "Run away!" and they all sprinted in a different direction.

Kakashi nearly fell on his ass in shock, from the sheer stupidity of such a technique; Sakura almost fell out of her tree, Sasuke's eye slightly twitched, but it wasn't very noticeable. Everything was silent for several minutes, then Sakura suddenly screamed as she was pushed from her tree, she landed gracefully then froze in fear, Kakashi was looking directly at her, he grinned evilly.

Naruto appeared again, a hundred Naruto's to be exact, they used Sakura's scream (which the one hundred and first Naruto was responsible for) as a distraction to surround Kakashi "Now as we where saying before, its time for the ultimate jutsu!" all the Naruto's bellowed, then they all did a few hand seals /Harem No Jutsu/ a hundred puffs of smoke cleared revealing a hundred sexy, nude blonde's all winking, posing and blowing kisses.

Kakashi felt like he had died and gone to heaven, he also felt light headed, a second later they all rushed him and started hugging him and rubbing against him, and in the confusion he never even noticed the bells being yanked from his side, shortly afterward something small bounced off Sasuke's forehead with a tiny ping as it hit his headband, he grabbed it in irritation and realized it was a bell.

Naruto may hate the bastard but he was still Itachi's little brother, then he made all the clones disappear, Kakashi became extremely sad, until he realized the bells where gone, then he just felt stupid. He looked at Naruto who was laughing and holding a bell in (what Kakashi thought was) a mocking fashion, then Sasuke jumped from a tree also holding a bell, he realized that all three had been involved in the plan to take his bells, even if two of them didn't know it, but Kakashi didn't know that.

He glared at the three young ninja's with an evil glint in his eye, expelled a bit of chakra to make the wind whip around him dramatically before he pointed at them accusingly and bellowing "You all…" he paused for dramatic effect then calmly stated in an almost sing-song tone "…pass"

If they where in some kind of comic they knew there would have been a couple little hearts in Kakashi's dialogue bubble. And so after a day of weirdness and tardiness, team seven was formed

Jutsu List

Kage Bunshin No Jutsu Shadow Clone

Katon – Karyuu Endan Fire Release – Fire Dragon Napalm

Harem No Jutsu Oiroke No Jutsu (Sexy Skill) combined with Kage Bunshin

The ultimate Technique of the anything goes style of martial arts (from the manga/anime Ranma one half) is called "Run, Think, Attack"

I think it is anyway, I could be wrong about it being the ultimate technique.

Review responses

1

There will be a Naruto Ino pairing later in the story; Iv liked the pairing ever since I read Acting Out by Sunfreak (cool story, but I should mention it's rated mature).

2

I'm fairly sure I wont have Sasuke get Mangekyou Sharingan, so the only person to be able to use Tsukiyomi (Moon Reader, this might be an incorrect translation, I got it from NarutoEX .com) and Amaterasu (Shining Heaven) will be Itachi. And I'm not sure about the "Genansu counter" that was mentioned, I don't think Iv heard of that before.

Thank you all for reviewing.
