Last chapter of Unexpected:

"Next up" Kakashi stated, "Sasuke and Naruto".

Naruto stood up and pointed at Sasuke. "I'm going to beat you no matter what it takes!" Naruto exclaimed.

The two boys took their place on the battle field. Naruto took a stance as if he was going to 'Kage bunshin no jutsu', and Sasuke just stood with his hands in his pockets.

"Begin" Kakashi said.

"Kage bunshin no jutsu!" Naruto yelled, and 10 of him appeared. They all rushed at Sasuke, who formed the tiger seal.

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu," Sasuke said loudly. Fire shot out of his mouth, and at the clones. They all disappeared, as did Naruto. 'Where did he go?' Sasuke thought. All of a sudden he felt a sharp poke in his hind riegon as he was propelled in the air.

"One thousand years of pain!" Naruto yelled, laughing.

Sasuke landed as gracefully as he could, careful not to hurt his throbbing anus. He ignored the pain and ran in a circle around Naruto, launching shuriken's and kunai. Naruto barely dodged the flying weapons, as he was backed against a tree.

"Is that all you got?" Naruto yelled. Suddenly, he felt something constricting his body. He had been tied to the tree!

"Nope." Was Sasuke's arrogant reply.

"Winner, Uchiha Sasuke" Kakashi announced. It wasn't as if anyone had expected Naruto to win anyways. Sasuke was top of his class, and there was no forgetting it.

Airashii went over to Naruto and untied him.

"It's alright Naruto" she said, sympathetic towards her friend, "I bet if you train harder, you could beat him anytime!"

Naruto, like when he failed the ninja test the first time, hung his head dejectedly and said, "Whatever."

"After evaluating your matches, I have come up with a sort of training/mentoring program for in between regular training and missions. This will help all of us, not only with our skills as ninja, but also with team bonding." He turned to Airashii and Naruto.

"Airashii, you will be helping Naruto for this week when we're not doing regular training, or on a mission," He informed, "And you, Sasuke," He said turning to the raven haired genin, "Are going to be working with Sakura during the said times."

'HELL YEAH!' inner Sakura cried.

"Right now though, I'm going to tell you what I thought about each duel."

Airashii, as well as the other genin, sat down, and either leaned against a tree, or sat in Indian style.

"Airashii, and Sakura. First off, I want to say I was impressed with your abilities Airashii, but I think you shouldn't be so fast to call on the Rokubi. Try and rely more on your own abilites and senses."

"No problem, Sensei." Airashii said, cheerfully.

"Sakura," Kakashi continued, "I was impressed at your dodging, though as soon as you got hit, all other thoughts went out of your head. I'm going to tell you this, you are almost always going to get hurt on a mission, but you have to ignore the pain until your duties are done."

Sakura hung her head. 'Now Sasuke-kun is never going to like me'

"Naruto and Sasuke, your battle was impressive. I liked that you used your shadow clones to sneak up behind Sasuke, Naruto, but you gloating got you tied to a tree. Sasuke, You were also very good, but you need to be a bit more aware of your surroundings. If you had, you probably would have been able to avoid 'one thousand years of pain'."

Sasuke just "Hn," ed as usual.

Kakashi looked at all his students.

"If you train hard today, I'll get you guys a mission for tomorrow, alright?

Naruto jumped up, punching his fist towards the sky.

"Bring it on!

Short chappie, I know. I'll make it up next time with a nice, good long chapter about the joys of training. Don't forget to leave a review, and vote for the pairings!
