The Survival Test
Sachi's P.O.V
It had already been two and a half hours since the little ' misunderstanding' with Ino, and so far from what I can see is that our jounin has yet showed up. Even though it was pretty obvious to me of who our sensei was going to be, but the others have no idea and was starting to get a little impatient. Especially Naruto.
Naruto had his head sticking out the door trying to see is our sensei was coming or not.
" He's late." He said still looking both ways getting more irritated. I just decided to keep quiet cause I was still upset, but a little and so they can ask all the questions they have about Kakashi sensei to his face instead of me, and then they'll all want to know how I know him and all that, and I just didn't feel like answering ALL of their questions.
" Naruto! Just sit down." Sakura scolded.
I looked at her and glared at her as I said, " Stop yelling at him, he didn't do anything to you."
" I don't want to. How come our teacher's the only one late? I'm ready to roll. Believe it. The other groups already met their teachers and took off on some adventure of something. And Iruka sensei's gone too." He said.
" We know, ok?" Sakura getting annoyed with him. Naruto had a big smile on his face and by the look of the smile that just told me that he had idea and he grabbed a step stool and brought them to the door where he put the eraser up high and stuck it in place.
" Hey, what are you doing?" Sakura asked while Naruto had finally put it in place with a bigger smile on his face.
" Naruto." Sakura scolded like a mother.
" That's what he gets for coming late. Surprise!" He said hopping off the step stool. I was just sitting next to Saskue and watched him do what he did. I shook my head and sighed at his idea of fun.
" You're asking for trouble. You know you shouldn't do that." Sakura scolded for the third time in a row. It was obvious she liked his prank idea but wanted to play innocent so she can 'impress' my brother anyway that she can by acting mature.
" Hmph. Our teacher's a jounin, an elite ninja. You think he'd fall for that?" Saskue asked.
" Naruto, Saskue's right. You don't think that he will fall for that right?" I said as I backed him up. Then I saw a hand come on the door and it slid it open only to fall for Naruto's prank. There was a moment of silence until Naruto started bursting up laugh saying that he got him.
" Hahahahahahahhaha, I got him! He totally fell for it!" He shouted.
" I'm sorry sensei. I told him not to do it, but he wouldn't listen. I'd never do anything like that." She said with a fake concerned look on her face. She thinks that she was in the clear but I know that she was really happy that it happened. Saskue looked at him and he was totally confused of why he just fell for his prank. Kakashi sensei might be a jounin, but when it's something as basic as meeting your new team you tend to let your guard down and don't expect it but he'll learn in time that's all Naruto does to people like him.
" Hmmmmmm, how can I put this? My first impression of this group…you're a bunch of idiots." He said with a hand to his chin. We all dead panned at his responds to us. I grumbled under my breath glaring at him. He looked over at me and it looked like he was smiling under his mask.
" Hello Sachi. Are you with this group too? Hmm, I was hoping I could train with you some more. And now, I don't have an excuse to say I have to do it another time." He said telling the truth, partially.
" Yes Kakashi sensei. I agree, now you can't skip out on my training." I responded.
" What the?! How do you know this guy already." Naruto shouted in my ear.
" That's a story for another time. Let's get moving, unless you want to be left behind." He said going back at the door. We all followed him and he lead us to the roof where we all took seats and faced him as he leaned on the railing.
" Alright, why don't you introduce yourselves one at a time?" He said.
" Introduce ourselves? Well, what are we supposed to say?" Sakura questioned, I thought it would be pretty obvious if he wants to get to know us.
" Things you like, things you hate, dreams for the future. Hobbies. Things like that." He said crossing his arms.
" Why don't tell us stuff first? I mean before we talk, tell us about you so we can see how it's supposed to work." Naruto suggested.
" Me? I'm Kakashi Hatake. Things I like and things I hate. Hmm, I don't feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future, I never really thought about it. As for my hobbies,I have a lot of hobbies." He said. This guy hasn't changed one bit.
" But then why do I always catch you reading that kmph-" I was going to say until he interrupted me by putting a hand over my mouth.
" That will be for later. It's not very appropriate for children your age. It could scar you if your not mature enough." He said laughing nervously.
" Then why are you kmph-" I started saying again but he only clapped his hand over my mouth tighter to make sure I said nothing. He started laughing nervously again and walked back over to the railing.
" Well, that's it for me." He said.
Then I remembered why I can't say anything about the book cause he did the same thing to me when I was went under his training and he frustrated me so much when he wouldn't fight back. But I had to train with him since the Hokage had to keep track with the village. So I nodded my head to let him know that I won't say anything and he nodded his head as well back to me.
" That was totally useless, all he really told us was his name." Sakura said unhappy with his intro. With Naruto agreeing with her.
" Ok, your turn. You on the right, you first." He called out to Naruto.
" Believe it, I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I like instant ramen in a cup and I really like the ramen Iruka got me at the Ichiraku's noodle shop. But I hate the three minutes you have to wait after you pour the water in the ramen cup. And I also like being with Sachi since she was my first friend in the village. My hobby is eating different kinds of ramen and comparing them. And my future dream is…to be the greatest Hokage. Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and treat me like I'm somebody, somebody important." He said finishing up and also touching his headband.
" Alright, next." He said when he pointed at Sakura.
" I'm Sakura Haruno. What I like..uh. I mean the person I like is….Uh, my hobby is…uhh…(giggle)..My dream for the future is.." She said as she squealing into her hands looking at Sasuke with a blush on her face.
' To marry my brother and have kids no doubt.' I thought to myself as I watched her give him lovey-dovey eyes at him.
" Next." He called making Sakura giggle in anticipation for what he's going to say as I looked at my brother even though I knew what it was going to be.
" My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything." He said as I waited him to continue.
" What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan and destroy a certain someone." He finished. But, there has to be a reason for what Itachi did and I wanted to tell him that, but I know that he won't listen to that subject with me. He doesn't talk about it often because he knows it's a hurtful memory for me and I get fragile when it comes up. So he doesn't say anything. All Sakura did was blush at him the day dreaming and Naruto only looked at him with fright probably thinking he meant him.
" Last one up." He said as he pointed at me.
" Ok, my name is Sachi Uchiha. I like spending time with my big brother Sasuke and my friend Naruto, I like reading, cooking, training, I can some what swim, drawing, and sometimes going to Ichiraku's ramen and eating with Naruto. I don't like people mentioning the slaughter of our clan, talking bad about my family, including my older brother and Sasuke. Sasuke's fan girls and my fan boys. My dreams for the future?…I want to restore my clan and bring my family together again. And also with helping my friends achieve their goal." I said finishing up. Naruto looked pleased with my introduction and so did Sasuke ( even though he didn't show it all the time.) but Sakura seemed too focused on Sasuke she didn't even hear me say anything. She must've been in 'Sasuke-land' ask? I call the Sasuke day dreamers.
" Good, you're each unique and you have your own ideas. We'll have our first mission tomorrow." Kakashi said as he looked at us.
" Eup, what kind of mission are we going to have?" Naruto asked with an confused look on his face.
" It's a task that the five of us will do together." He said.
" What? What? What? What?" Naruto asked.
" A survival exercise." He said with a bored look on his face.
" Huh? Survival exercise?" Naruto asked confused again.
" I thought we were supposed to have a real mission. Not more practice. We already did this stuff at the academy. That's how we got here." Sakura complained.
" This is like your previous training."
" So uh. So what kind of training is it then?" Naruto asked. I zoned out for a bit because when I first met Kakashi, he taught me about becoming a genin. He told me when we get our squads a little later into the academy, we would have to prove we are ready to genin. He didn't exactly say how we had to do it but he said if you fail, then you're not worthy to be a ninja.
I wonder….what should I make tonight, I assume Sasuke is going to be hungry since Naruto ruined his lunch….hmmmm. Oh! Maybe he would like some soba with toasted sesame seed sauce. That sounds good.
" Let's go Sachi." Sasuke said, I didn't even realize the meeting was over. We headed home and I made dinner. Sasuke was hungry and ate a lot, but we both went bed early since he explained to me, we have to get up early. Even though he wasn't going to be there for another two hours after we get there. I headed up to my bed and played a song to help me relax until I fell asleep, which was Final Fantasy X-2 - Eternity ~Memory of Lightwaves.
The next day I felt myself being shook awake and that told me that it was most likely time to get up and meet up with Kakashi for that training exercise Sasuke told me about since I zoned out, even though it was normal for him to be late I sometimes got annoyed with it if there really was nothing to do. I wouldn't get cranky but I would feel like I'm not it the best of moods.
I grabbed my ninja clothes from my closet and went to the bathroom and stepped in the shower giving me goosebumps as the cold water woke me up. I stepped out and grabbed a towel from the rack hanging next to me and dried my hair for about thirty minutes since I have SUPER thick hair.
I brushed my teeth and grabbed my headband from my nightstand tieing it around my head walking out meeting Sasuke at the front door with him already in his gear wide awake. We closed the door behind us and walked to the training ground in silence. As we walked past the village we took in the silence in happiness since no one was up yet. We finally made it and were greeted by an unenthusiastic 'good morning' from both Naruto and Sakura.
" Morning.." moaned Sakura and Naruto both looking really sleepy.
I have a long time before he actually shows up so I decided to go and meditate since I will need chakra control if we wanted to prove to him whatever he wanted.
I sat cross-legged on the grass and I closed my eyes clearing my head of all thoughts. But something felt off. I didn't want to keep awake. I felt myself drifting off and I didn't want to deny I was really sleepy but I didn't want to sleep. After an hour I opened my eyes and I had a hug wave of pain going through my head as I opened my eyes. I opened them again and it still hurt, but it was bearable. I looked down and I was laying in the grass with my legs crossed. My guess was I was meditating but fell asleep about half way through since I didn't get all that much sleep last night. I kept waking up in the middle of the night in the weirdest positions and at one point fell off the bed.
I stood up and dusted myself off and the sun was already high in the sky. Naturally Kakashi sensei comes late but by now it had to be almost noon. I looked over in the bushes and Sasuke was just sitting there while Naruto was looking out for Kakashi sensei, no doubt he's going to complaint to him every time he's late.
I walked back to them and sat there for another ten minutes until finally Kakashi showed his face.
Here is another chapter for you, yes, yes I know I did two chapters today. Well I had nothing else to do and just letting you know that I'll be doing that same thing tomorrow, so be ready for the next one tomorrow. Kay let me know what you thought okay.
