Back in black bebe. Let the wave country legacy begin .
Tired as if he hadn't slept for days, naruto walked slowly toward the north of the village toward the bridge were they are supposed to meet up, his team mate, teacher and himself.
But he wasn't someone of the morning and walking in the street lighten up by a soft blue glow coming our of the depth of the mountain wasn't making his awaking easier.
He arrived on the bridge and wasn't the first one to arrive in fact beside their teacher, all team 7 was already here.
"Cool...I'm fashionably late " he muttered to himself rubbing his eyes and dragging himself toward the bridge.
"Hey" he said exhausted. Sakura obviously wasn't someone of the morning as well judging by the hair cut she had
and the eyes that met naruto. Livid.
Sasuke on the other hand was the same as ever, sitting on the rail eyes closed, in deep thought obviously, sometimes when he heard a few sound he opened his eyes. But as usual he didn't say anything, he didn't even bother greeting naruto when he said hello.
"Hi" said sakura sleepy.
hours passed, and nothing happened, the teacher, kakashi still never showed up.
"Where could he be" Stated sakura had on her hips, fully awake now and her hair cut fixed.
"Maybe he ditch us" said sasuke quietly.
"What?" made sakura desperatly wanting that what sasuke said wasn't true.
"Where is the dead-last any way?" Ask sasuke finally aware of the situation around him but sakura hadn't time to respond,
when a heard a yell.
"WOUUUUUUUUUUUHOUUUUU!" It was naruto very cheerful now that he found something to busy himself.
he had ran toward the root of the river and now was sliding on it, using a perfect chakkra control to allow him to do so. Both sasuke were impressed, even if sasuke showed more annoyance at the sight of the technique he didn't know.
When naruto slide at fast speed under the bridge where they were he jumped making a few extended flip and landed on the top of the bridge smoothly, sanding drop of water everywhere annoying his two team mate.
"That was fun" He said laughing at the sight of his wet team mate taunting him.
"What, That'll wake you up" he said. When he jumped down he was caught like the other by a stranger, or not so stranger voice.
"Yo" said calmly hatake kakashi, sitting above them and waving lightly.
"YOU'RE LATE!" yelled naruto and sakura at the same time. Kakashi rubbed his cheek with his index.
"Sorry I forgot my white t-shirt."
They looked at him up and down sweat dropping. He was wearing a black pants, a black T-shirt a black mask that covered
half his face and a jounin vest. But NO white T-shirt.
"you're not wearing any white t-shirt" Said sakura.
"Aw man!" said kakashi as if he made a big mistake and then change completely the subject. "What happened to the brige? did it rain?"
"No it's albino boy here that soaked us by playing in the river" Said sakura pissed.
"it was to refresh your mood" said naruto lifting his hand with a smirk. Sakura started to fume.
"I'll show you my mood now" and she used all her strength in a powerful punch that send naruto in the forest, about a mile away, sending a huge amount of dust in the air.
Kakashi and even sasuke looked at her in fear.. She acknowledge what she did and then said nervously. "I...I tripped"
Kakashi and sasuke looked at each other sweatdropping and slightly afraid by the amazing power from the young girl.
a minute after that naruto came back cheerfully hand in his pocket as if nothing happened.
Kakashi sweat dropped at that because he had trouble understand it, a minute ago naruto traveled a mile in the dirt by the strenght of one punch and the next he came back without any bruise. But he shook the idea away remembering the story of the boy even with the little detail he had about him.
"Aright... The test is simple." he first took a little metal clock out of his pocket. "When this clock will ring it will be noon and by then the test will be over. To pass the test, you'll have to steal...these" he took two golden bells out of his pocket. "from me, those who don't steal it from me by the end of the test, will be tied up in a try and will watch ME eating in front of them."
"That was the all point of not letting us eat and coming here late?" said naruto angrily at the manipulation.
"Maybe...I suggest you stop asking question however and we start the exercise, because if I judge that you can't pass the test...you won't have the right to be genin, will get back to he academy for another year...and I believe that you don't want that do you?"
They all nodded "what are the rules?" asked sasuke.
"There is no rule, you can do any attack you want and use any material you want...let's get going shall we?"
Before hearing an answer even if he wasn't expecting one, he disappeared and re-appeared in the middle of the forest.
The three teammate ran into the forest very quickly and everyone found a hiding post surrounding kakashi.
"This isn't good" told himself naruto..."I don't want to get back to the academy...I know it won't be as bad as the two other because I'm a year younger, but I won't learn anything knew by going back there...I should attack..Now...Kakashi however is a jounin and since he expect an attack from us it will be harder to bring him down than those guys that tracked me down when I stole the scroll... If there wasn't a time limit it would be okay maybe for me alone to bring him down...After a long battle i would be able to defeat him...But there isn't much time...So I'll need help. And obviously since there is only one other bell, I'll ask either help from sakura or from sasuke... Come to think of it sasuke is barely a choice so sakura it is"
He ran in the forest softly glancing sometimes at kakashi in the middle of the field waiting for them.
"Sakura" he whispered softly behind the pink haired ninja that jump a meter away from the ground, scarred the shit out of her by naruto.
"The fuck are you doing..?" she asked.
"It will be better if we attack him as a team...there is two bell we can take him and have one bell for one another.."
"And what about sasuke?"
"Sasuke?"
"Well yeah if there is two bell and we pas the test with one you and me... how is sasuke going to pass?"
"well I guess he is screwed then"
"Naruto!" said sakura angrily.
"I don't know...all i knwo is that it would be a pain in the ass to start the academy again, and it's better two passing one failing than three failing don't you agree?"
"I suppose so" said sakura sighing looking again at kakashi "Al right let's do this" she said.
"Al right...here is my plan" start naruto.
"Alright...those two have team up...they understood that they had better chance as a team than alone...I can understand why naruto didn't pick the uchiha...Sasuke...because of his past he wouldn't accept help from anyone...However if they still attack at the same time it will count as a good team work...I'll just see how they improvised with one another...Wait it as started."
Sasuke was the first one to take of from his hideout running at very fast speed. He throw two kunai toward kakashi that caught them with his finger tip.
Kakashi put his hand in his belt bag. Sasuke stopped expecting something being thrown at him. The team seven was surprise to see kakashi taking out a book..With heart and naked woman on the cover, making the three member to fall on the ground sweatdropping.
But quickly it became anger coming from sasuke.
"Lets go help him, he'll need the help" said naruto coming out first of the bush.
Sasuke start to do a hand-to-hand battle with kakashi, and nearly managed to catch one of the bell which was impressive.
When kakashi jump away and ten narutos arrived in the scene and jumped toward kakashi, the grey haired jounin made a spin with his kick making every single clone disappearing. Except one naruto that arrived from the air and transform back into sakura that gave a powerful punch in the ground, kakashi flew in the air to avoid the punch and was once again impressed by the younger girl strength.
"remind me of someone" he told himself with half a smile.
The real naruto had jumped toward kakashi , grabbed his ankles, made a few spin and throw him to the ground with an amazing strength as well. And while in mid hair he shouted at sasuke.
"SASUKE! fire ball!" he told him. sasuke quickly nodded. the two made the exact same hand seal. And two gigantic fireball
surrounded the area, making the body of kakashi impossible to see.
When the flame goes off. They all realized that instead of kakashi in the ground burned to death they found a large, burned log.
"Shit" muttered naruto.
"NARUTO!" yelled sakura.
"Too late" said quietly kakashi. he had appeared behind him his indexes and majors locked together.
"1000 year of pain" yelled kakashi planting his finger in naruto's ass. And concentrating a bit of chakkra i his finger tip he send naruto flying in the air at incredible fast speed, holding tightly his ass, out of pain.
Naruto landed a few feet away from the clearing in some bushes. From his spot, he massage lightly his butt to release the pain that quickly go away and watch what was happening. They were talking obviously. Sakura however was nowhere in sight she must have runaway to find him maybe or tried to find a new strategy
"The katon, it's a high level technique, coming from a uchiha I'm not surprised but what about naruto...Did you taught him?"
Sasuke huffed. "No...the foul try to learn every single technique he can find, every time he see something knew he try to prove himself he can do it...the worst part" he said with a scowl " is that he always manage to do it even if it isn't his specialty... And sometimes even manage to do it better that the creator."
"Really? that's interesting...But I'm surprise though...I thought you were teamed up from the grade you had in the exam if naruto is so good why is he in the same team as you, since you obviosuly have good grade as well."
"He has the worst grade in school...He might be good in technique learning and chakkra and weapon and stuff, but he never listen to superior authority, always ditch class or training just to do some pathetic pranks on people to pass like a clown in front of the all class"
Kakashi smirked at the remark.
"You seem to know him very well." Said Kakashi expecting this will do the trick to provoke the uchiha but it didn't work at all.
"Of course...No matter how much we fight...more like, because of how much we fight we are very close because in my eyes he is my biggest rival and I dream to become better than him...Even if he as the IQ of a coco-nut and is always a smartass around people, he as an incredible power that make him a role model to my eyes..."
"Hm" said kakashi it was interesting, obviously their was more under the skin of those two that the eyes meet. Sasukra even did made as if sasuke was here dream and hated naruto but when she talked about her dream she looked fondly at naruto. Since her dream is to become hokage and very strong...There is a possibility that she as well see naruto as a role model that make her advance. Interesting very interesting indeed, it seems like the demon boy who on the surface always seem to annoy people became a pillar that held this little group together... And the funniest thing is that said pillar had no idea about it. Kakashi, finding a new hope into his team put his book back in his bag and said
"In that case...come on, naruto, sakura, sasuke" The two team mate had came back from their bushes in order to do a second assault. Kakashi put himself into a fighting stance. But everytime that naruto was inch away from the bell kakashi moved away accidently because of one of his teammate attacking the jounin.
noon was only a few minute from them. And naruto had, had it with it he wasn't going to lose, and go back to the academy.
"You two entertain him" he tod sakura and sasuke that kept fighting. Naruto jumped far away in the clearing.Sakura and sasuke looked at him with quized look, the same look as kakashi.
"What? is he giving up?" he asked himself but then his eye went wide at the sight of a two familiar technique with something different in the matter.
Naruto had ducked and on his had was forming a load of electricity that became a ball. Two heavy from him at first he was surprised and ducked even more, but then he managed to use the right amount of chakkra in the ball to lift her completely.
"Impossible" muttered kakashi.
Sakura gasped at the sight of the ball charged with an inhuman amount of chakkra. Naruto was modeling it properly in order to make it smaller to not be lethal as long as he aimed properly which he always do since he had an unmatched balance.
"MOVE AWAY" yelled naruto.. The two quickly did so looking at the ball of pure energy. he then start to run toward kakashi
with an amazing speed lifting dust and soil on his way. Kakashi lift his head band and grabbed the arm of naruto. He was about to throw the kid away but something unexpected happened. The electricity completely disappear, he used his first hand to grab kakashi's wrist and with his other hand grabbed his other wrist.When kakashi was surprisingly unable to move his hand, naruto yelled.
"THE BELLS"
"No" muttered kakashi gasping. Luckily, still having his sharingan revealed, he saw the move of his student toward him.
He made a flip with naruto still holding him, naruto gave him a blow with his knee in the chest. Kakashi with an extremely fast speed manage to take over his three student. Sakura on the ground held by kakashi's strong arm. sasuke held by kakashi's knee, and naruto held by kakashi's hand that was twisting his right arm in order to pin him down to the ground.
Naruto had other card in his sleeves but too late, when he started to make a move he heard a dreadful sound of
a little clock coming from the tree next to them.
Naruto closed his eyes desperate. He fell on the ground all his strength leaving him. As if he was giving up. He sighed loudly. Kakashi tied them up together and lift them to the training ground. None made a sound of complain, obviously defeated to have failed the exam. Kakashi finally put his headband back on his eyes.
the white haired jounin left sasuke and sakura free but tied up naruto to the log.
"HEY how come I'm on the log!" He yelled.
"Because you did something very dangerous back there...You could have seriously injured yourself your team mate or me
even maybe kill me... When we all be going in mission I hope you won't take your own power so lightly"
he said crossing his arm. The three team mate looked at each other.
"Wait...we...we passed?" asked softly sakura
"Yup" said cheerfully kakashi
"But we didn't get the bell" stated sasuke
"The test was never about the bell right?" said sakura instead of kakashi that respond with a smile and a nod.
"What?" asked loudly naruto and sasuke.
"Don't you see? it was a test for us to show our team work that's why he told us about our disturbed teamwork, right?" she asked looking at kakashi that nodded.
"Indeed, I wanted you to understand the importance of teamwork especially in a dangerous situation where your opponent is stronger than you..."
"That mean...We passed and we really are genin?" asked naruto with eager in his voice and water in his eyes.
With a smile kakashi said "I expect the three of you to meat me in the same bridge as this morning tomorrow morning"
he said answering his question.
"YES I PASS I PASS I ROCK" Yelled naruto destroying the cord that tied him up, making kakashi, sasuke and sakura sweatdropping. he start to jump around.
"Wait, you could have untied yourself from the begining?" asked sakura.
Kakashi looked at the destroyed rope "I tied him myself...He was able to destroy the chakkra prison of the rope" he muttered to himself.
"Sure I could" said naruto " but I was so depressed at the idea of going back to the academy that i didn't even fight back"
"So you yelled for nothing as usual" yelled sakura pissed smoke coming out of her ears.
"Hu ho" made at the same time kakashi, sasuke and naruto.
(Song, Go flow, fighting dreamers)
"NARUTO YOU DUMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSS" she yelled at the top of her lung chasing him through the clearing. Even sasuke manage to find the sight amusing. naruto running around randomly escaping the 'crater creating' punch that sakura was throwing at him.
Kakash chuckled lightly "Like I said before...Their is more link between the three of them than what met the eye" he told himself with a smile.
(End song)
"Naruto" said kakashi when he add dismissed the group and he had catch naruto before he took off.
"Yes?"
"Just a question, how did you learn the childori?"
"The wha-?"
"Heum...The electricity technique you used..."
"Why do you call it the the childori?"
"Well it's a technique I invented, I call it like that because it make the sound of thousand of bird chipping, you know childori.
However your is different, because I don't recall seeing you forming any hand seal"
"Well i didn't know somebody used this technique...but I guess since Iruka said some people had affinity with fire like sasuke or thunder, wind etc...I guess that this technique is for people affinities with thunder"
Kakashi nodded. "But why didn't you had to made any hand seal?"
"It's kind of complicate, but i guess you know about...me and ...The fox?"
"Yeah..I do"
"Well You heard about the event in the cave seven years ago?"
"Yeah that rings a bell"
"Well when I absorbed Alastors soul I start to have a great affinity with any thunder technique more than the rest"
"But I saw you making a Katon with sasuke"
"Yes but if I had affinity with fire it would have been even bigger... And if it came from a creature like alastor i wouldn't have to use hand seal as well"
"I see...It's very powerful what you have with...alastor...because obviosuly your affinity is bigger than usual, maybe because of your devil-side..."
"There is a lot of things I learned to do with it... but most of the strongest thing happened by mistake like that one time when I cracked a hole open in the hokage's tower with a thunder"
"That was you?" Ask kakashi amused
"Yeah" said naruto with a chuckle.
"Hm...I see...We will have time to train when we are not in mission, and I would like to spar with you someday, one-on-one, I saw you had trouble with your team mate... I wonder what you can do alone"
"Yeah...the thing is even if I'm agile...I'm much more agile when I use alastor"
"What do you mean? you're technique?"
"No, no, just when I use alastor's sword, I have even more power than normally...But I couldn't use it back there or it would have been dangerous...for you"
"Thanks for considering my health" said kakashi sarcastically. "Well go eat something now kiddo you deserved it..." he said happily. And smiled at the sight of his new student jumping around...
"What an interesting kid. I even had to use my sharingan against him, luckily i don't think sasuke saw it or he would have asked some question...I haven't seen him used it though during the fight...maybe he haven't developped it yet..." Told himself kakashi while walking toward the town.
Sakura giggled lightly when she saw sasuke having trouble with his troup of horse they were in charge to watch and take care of as one of the D-ranked mission they usually had in the few day and every time they were on those kind of mission, the same thing happened everytime. Sasuke was doing al the worked helped closely by sakura, kakashi read his perverted book writen by the sannin that took off a few years ago and naruto if he wasn't working were hitting on girls, as long as there were girl of course.
This day he got lucky the familily than ran the farm haden't girls but boys, ugly one, however the neighboor had two beautiful young twins. Naruto had fun making as if he couldn't tell which was Mana, which was Seti. He was haveing fun but as usual the same thing happened. He received an object, this time a pot of water, coming from his beloved team mate sakura.
And they start arguing as usual. a bit like an old couple.
"I wouldn't do that if the mission we had weren't hyper-boring" he said "Taking care of horse? grabbing cats in tree, be babysitter for some rich kids, the hell with that we are frickin' ninja it's stupid"
"Ninja's three thing to avoid as well are alcohol, woman and money, you obviously fell for the woman a bit too much
and if you don't do that well why would you be a well enough ninja to take care of bigger mission?"
Said kakashi to lifting an eye from his book.
"I would act more like a ninja if we were making stuff that looked more like ninja stuff... I believe I speak for the three of us when I say we want to learn something new, the training we have don't do that, we need exeprience and to do so we need better mission"
Kakashi looked up, closed his book and put it back in his belt pack. "Alright" he calmly said.
"What?" Said naruto taken back waiting for a negative answer
"Alright...I do agree you are way better than those mission and then only way to do so is to give you challenge, I'll speak to the hokage but don't expect more than a C class misson for now but at least it might show you some sight."
"Alright I'll do it" Said naruto looking at his team mate for back up.
"I agree with naruto on this one" said sakura
"Yeah" muttered sasuke.
"Very well" said kakashi "finish your job and tomorrow meet me as usual, I'll talk to the hokage this evening and we'll see what he can do about it"
"YEAH" yelled naruto then performing a strange dance and the moon walk to impress even more the twins that were still looking at him and when sakura or kakashi wasn't looking he got back to them for a kissy kissy session.
The next day they all got to the hokage office. Naruto was happy to have found a respond to his letter from shizune in his mail box the last evening, so he was more cheerful than ever on this morning.
"Hey old man" he said entering the room with his team mate and this earn him a chuckle from the hokage and a bump on the head from sakura.
"Don't talk like that to the hokage you foul!"
"I granted the request kakashi told me about and today...You'll leave for your first long term mission. It's a C-class mission...Your job is to protect a certain m-" He was interrupted by the said man that entered the room. He had grey hair, glasses, a long dark green pants, a loose Shirt ad a dark red leather jacket.
The man looked at them for a moment. He then eyed naruto and naruto returned the gaze. But then he broke the silence.
"Nice jacket" The young albino said.
"That's what I was about to say" Respond the man taking a sip of his bottle.
"Heurm..." continued the hokage " This man is Takashi (I know it's not his name but i can't remember the real one, ) He is a bridge constructor in the wave country, you'll protect him from thief along the way and until the bridge his safely finished"
"So this is it? those kids are going to protect me?" said takashi sarcastically.
"Obviously" said sasuke annoyed by the attitude.
The man huffed and knowing he had no choice he agreed and the group, after an hour of preparation, was off toward the wave country.
I told you let the wave country saga BEGIN not finish, you'll have to wait until next episode for that
Thanks my fellow reviewer.
See ya'
