Oh now I remember what happened. Naruto was suddenly remembering the events of last night. Sakura must've had one too many drinks. There's no way she was in control of herself last night. Sakura suddenly stirred and woke up. "Mornin' Naruto." She said, but then she realized what she said. "Ahhhh! NARUTO! What did you do? Why am I naked and WHERE IS MY KIMONO?" Naruto frantically tried to find words to say, "Sakura, calm down. Put down the hammer. If you remember it was your idea." She stopped in her tracks, suddenly remembering all she said to Naruto.

(Flashback)

"Huh? Oh." I guess now I could. "Naruto, do you still like me?" He looked up with awe and embarrassment. "Uhhhhh. I guess… I mean not as much as I used to—but…" He was interrupted by a tug from Sakura motioning to the bed. "Uh, Sakura, what are you doing?" Naruto asked. Still as clueless as ever, dumb Naruto. "I think you know what I'm doing, Naruto." What the hell, Sakura's never been this forward to anyone but Sasuke. Especially not with me! "Sakura why are you being so nice to me?" he asked trying to change the subject. But it didn't work. "Don't try to change the subject, Naruto." she retorted, "I'm not sure why, but I've had this little affection for you." "Really?" Naruto asked innocently and dumbfounded.

"But you know if we do this, we'll have no idea what to do?" He tried one last time. Sakura just smiled. "Yeah, but I'm sure we'll come up with something." Naruto blushed at the sound of that. "So I guess I can't change your mind, huh?" "No" she said as she undid her kimono. Naruto couldn't help but stare at her. "Enjoying the view…" Sakura said. "Uh, yeah. NO! I mean—" he yelled confused. This just made Sakura laugh. "Look, Naruto, I'm as nervous as you are." "It does kind of feel right…" Naruto added.

Unfortunately for Naruto and Sakura, there was an unexpected visitor. "Hey loser, wake up. Kakashi-sensei wants us to—" Sasuke stopped in mid-sentence only to see the big picture of Naruto and Sakura. "What…the…hell?" was all Sasuke could get out. Whoa. Sakura has a nice… "Uh Sasuke, you're kinda blushing." Naruto interrupted. This caught Sasuke off guard and he slipped off the edge. "Ahhhh!" At the last minute he caught himself. (It wasn't like Sasuke to look stupid in front of Naruto) Sakura tried to quickly change the subject and dress herself, "What does sensei need us for, Sasuke?" "We need to meet at the training field right now for some mission." Sasuke said still in awe. "We'll be down in a minute." Naruto added. I'm sure you will.

Back at the training field…

The trio made to the field in one piece and the total silence was killing Naruto and Sakura. "Sasuke, will you please say something?" Sakura pleaded. "I—" But just as Sasuke was about to say something, who else but their sensei should show up. "Did I come at a bad time?" Kakashi started. "Hey Kakashi-sensei, you're late!" Naruto pointed out. "Right. Well Lady Tsunade had a little manner he wanted me to take care of." "Hey Kakashi-sensei, who's the loser behind you? Hahaha!" Naruto asked. Suddenly Kakashi became really serious, which he almost never does. "This 'loser' as you said is your next mission. Meet Ayato Yami, the newest member of Squad 7 and my new apprentice.

"Lady Hokage, ma'am!" "What is it, Iruka?" "Ma'am, I heard the survivor from the hidden cloud village is going to be Kakashi's apprentice." "That's right. I figured the best jounin needed to be taught by the best jounin." It took Iruka only a second to realize what had just been said. "Wait, that kid can't be a jounin. He's only like 15 or 16!" The Hokage just smirked. "Why don't you take a look at his file we were able to recover from the village?" the chunin was handed a file on Ayato. "That—this is… impossible!"

Meet Ayato Yami, the newest member of Squad 7 and my new apprentice. The trio couldn't help but think Kakashi was kidding. Ayato's appearance was that he was shy, seeing as he was hiding behind Kakashi. He was about Naruto's age and his hair was black and sort of spiked out to the sides. He was about Sasuke's height and he was apparently wearing the jounin vest of the hidden cloud village as the trio noticed. Like Kakashi, Ayato wore his headband over his eyes… both of them! Naruto was the first to comment, "You're joking, right sensei?" "No. Actually Ayato is already a full jounin ninja. I figured what better test for you chunins is there than to fight a jounin your own age?"This kid must be really good to be a jounin already. Plus he is kinda cute… I'm gonna kick this guy's ass in five seconds, believe it! Whatever… I'll take this guy down like all the others. Their thoughts were interrupted by Kakashi's yelling. "Hey! You all just doubted this kid's abilities, didn't you?" All three of them had that guilty look on their faces. "Hahahahaha. Relax. You're not the only one." "Huh?" "I brought Ayato not only to test you… but to see if this kid is really a jounin. So let's begin. Your second survival exercise starts now and your objective… is to bring down Ayato!"

"Well, this should be a piece of cake." Sasuke said as he went charging towards Ayato.

But before his kick could connect, Ayato had Sasuke's kick caught… in midair. "You must be… Sasuke Uchina. I've heard a lot about you." Ayato spoke in a soft voice. 'The kid is better than I thought. However, it will take more than blocking a kick to beat this squad.' Kakashi thought. Just then Naruto started to charge in to make Sasuke look bad. Before Sakura could blink, Naruto was facedown in the ground and Ayato still had Sasuke's leg. "Just surrender because I only get better and faster from here on out. I make no exceptions for anyone." Ayato smartly commented. This only made Naruto and Sasuke even madder. Naruto got out of his hold and Sasuke got out of his. Both of them tried to hit Ayato, but unfortunately he had already disappeared. They ended up hitting each other. "Watch where you're going you loser!" "Arrgh! You're the one who messed up! Don't blame me for your mistake, Sasuke!" Kakashi just started to laugh as he left to observe from a better view. 'I'll leave you in charge, Ayato.' And with that he vanished.

'Let the second survival exercise…begin.'
