Chapter 4 Team 7 and the Annoying Test

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yo, the Cyberkagekitsune is back. Thanks for all the positive responses on my fanfic. In light of some questions, I will now answer those that won't ruin the story. One, this is an AU if the whole Naruto fusing thing didn't clue you'll be in my prayers. Second, pairings, Naru/Hina, Sasu/Sak, Cho/Ino, Shik/Tem, others I don't know yet. Third, I'll reveal what Itachi did when I write the mission to wave. Lastly, why Kyuubi isn't talking too Naruto will also be answered during the wave mission. Also in this fic Naruto has a very unique Chakra system that I'll be explaining in the next chapter, it's not a real chapter, it's just some helpful info for those that don't know about the Chakra system of the Naruto universe. For those that skip chapters when reading fanfics Reikon is Naruto. Thank you that is all.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. The young blonde shot up from his bed in surprise, looking around for the enemy. Looking around and seeing nothing he remembered the new alarm clock he bought yesterday.

"Damn alarm cock," Reikon grumbled while he picked up the alarm clock.

"All right, big hand on the six," Reikon said while feeling the face of the clock with his hands, "and little... hand... on... the...EIGHT...KUSO, YOU DAMN ALARM CLOCK!."

Reikon leaped from his bed toward the bathroom to get into the shower.

"Shimatta, I was supposed to be at the academy half an hour ago." Reikon scolded himself as he washed up in the shower. After he finished his shower he jumped out rapped a towel around him and brushed his teeth then hurried to the kitchen and fixed some breakfast.

"All right, all right," Reikon was tearing up the cabinets looking for some breakfast," AH-HA! RAMEN."

Reikon put the ramen on the kitchen counter and set some water to boil. While the water boiled he rushed back to his bedroom to get his clothes on. The water had just started to boil over when he finished dressing and he was able to eat his ramen breakfast.

"All right gotta get to the academy," Reikon said as he rushed to the shinobi academy.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ten minutes later a disheveled Reikon ran through the front door of the shinobi academy.

He was looking around franticly for the room he was t report too.

"Hello, can you tell me where room 206 is," Reikon asked to the first adult he found.

"Yeah, down that hall, fifth door on the right," the man said, puzzled as he looked at Reikon.

"Thanks," Reikon said and rushed down hall the man pointed too.

"First...second...third...fourth...ah fifth," Reikon said when he got to the right door. Reikon opened the door and looked in the room. There were three people left in the room, two were around his age and sitting in some of the empty. The other was person was one Umino Iruka standing by the teachers desk in the middle of the room tapping his right foot on the floor looking really pist at Reikon.

"Well, good to see you here on time Reikon," Iruka said through clenched.

"Ah, sorry Iruka-sensei," Reikon said smiling under his mask while rubbing the back off his head," I set my alarm clock wrong last night and woke-up an hour late."

"Eh, all right Reikon considering your special situation I guess that's a reasonable excuse," Iruka said as he sweat-drooped.

" Reikon these two over here are your to teammates," Iruka said to Reikon while pointing to the two people Reikon noticed when he walked through the door.

Both of them were eyeing Reikon curiously, both of them don't remember seeing him anywhere in the village let alone in the academy. One was a boy who looked at his late teammate with a frown on his face; the other was a girl who looked at nervously while twiddling her index fingers. Reikon walked over at the two and extended his hand too the boy.

"Hi, my names Kyukatsu Reikon what's yours," Reikon asked the two.

The boy didn't reach for Reikon's hand but merely grumbled "Uchiha Sasuke." Reikon tensed up for a second at hearing that name before he offered his hand to the girl.

"Hi, what's your name," Reikon asked the girl hoping for a better greeting from her.

"H-hyuga H-hinata," she stuttered out while nervously shacking his hand. When Reikon heard her name he got the strangest case of daja vu, but just chalked it off to a bad morning.

"Well since all three of you are finally here I'll leave you here to get acquainted till your Jonin instructor comes to pick you up," Iruka said as he left the room.

"So, since we're teammates I guess we should get to know each other," Reikon said while smiling under his mask.

"A-anou Kyukatsu-san, w-why do you w-wear your Hitai-ate o-over your e-eyes," Hinata asked nervously, embarrassed of maybe asking too personal a question to her new teammate.

"You don't have to call me Kyukatsu-san Hinata-san, we're teammates you can just call me Reikon," Reikon said to the nervous Hyuga," and I wear my Hitai-ate over my eyes because I'm blind."

Hinata looked at him shocked and nervous of getting too personal. Sasuke just looked at him angrily thinking he would have to protect his two "weak" teammates.

"Then what good are," Sasuke said to Reikon," you'll just drag me down along with this weak Hyuga."

"You know you shouldn't underestimate someone you just meet," Reikon responded to Sasuke angry at his ignorance, "and I'm sure Hinata-san is just as strong as you are if not stronger."

"A-anou Reikon-san, it's true I am w-weak, U-uchiha-san is the top-student in this g-graduating class. The t-top and the b-bottom student are a-always paired t-together to b-balance out the teams, so that h-has to be m-me," Hinata stuttered too Reikon while her head lowered in shame.

"No Hinata-san you're not the bottom student, I am," Reikon said jokingly while rubbing the back off his head.

Hinata looked up in surprise at this.

"So you're just a useless dobe," Sasuke said with an arrogant smirk.

"Not necessarily, I just came to Konoha Uchiha-san. I also tested to be a Genin yesterday. The Hokage said that since he doesn't have any records of my training and since I merely passed the Henge/Bunshin test I would be recorded as graduating at the bottom of this class," Reikon said to Sasuke.

"Well then fight me and we'll se just how strong a blind dobe," Sasuke said confidently while getting into a fighting stance.

"Look Uchiha-san, I have no problem fighting you while we train but I won't waste my time fighting you now just so you'll feel better about yourself," Reikon said to Sasuke as he turned around to continue talking to Hinata.

"Ho dare you, you dobe," Sasuke said with clenched fists. Sasuke then ran at Reikon intent on teaching him who's the best.

"Lets see you talk now," Sasuke yelled at Reikon as he charged at him with his right fist raised ready hit in his back. Sasuke's fist came down and he smirked at himself for putting the dobe in his place. Unfortunately for him though the impact never came, right were Sasuke had hit Reikon his fist seemed to pass right through him.

"Bunshin but when..."Sasuke asked himself when he felt the edge of a Kunai pressed against his neck.

"What did I tell you Uchiha-san, never underestimate someone you just meet. In the ninja world that will get you killed," Reikon said to Sasuke in serious tone bordering on anger.

"You just got lucky dobe, It won't happen again," Sasuke said through clenched teeth, angry that some blind dobe bested him.

"We'll see teme," Reikon said as he lowered his Kunai. As he lowered the Kunai Sasuke spun around to punch Reikon but found that he had disappeared again.

"Behind you teme," Reikon said as he appeared behind Sasuke again but this time next to a shocked Hinata," you'll have to be faster then that teme. Ha, I can't believe the top of the class can't keep up with a blind guy."

Sasuke was steaming with anger but decided he would get the dobe later and just stalked off to a seat at the back of the classroom.

"That was a-amazing Reikon-san, how did you k-know he was c-coming if you're b-blind?" Hinata stuttered, amazed how Reikon embarrassed Sasuke so easily.

"Well Hinata-san when you're going to be a blind shinobi you have to learn new ways of seeing," Reikon said to Hinata.

"W-what do you m-mean R-reikon-san," Hinata asked.

"Well..," Reikon started to explain when the door to the class opened and a silver haired shinobi with his Hitai-ate covering his left eye. The man looked at them for a few seconds before lazily saying to them.

"My first impression of you is... your weird. All right, meet me up on the roof in five minutes," he said to them before disappearing in a poof of smoke. After he left the three Genin also left the classroom to head upstairs.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Five minutes later the three Genin were lined up on the roof waiting for their Jonin instructor who was facing the Hokage monument with his back turned toward them. They were waiting for about ten minutes for him to start their team meeting when he finally turned around.

"All right then, lets get started. Lets introduce ourselves," their Jonin-sensei said to them.

"W-what do you mean s-sensei," Hinata asked nervously while twiddling her index fingers.

"You know your name, your likes, dislikes, dreams for the future. Those kinds of things," the Jonin sensei said to them.

"How about you go first sensei," Reikon asked the Jonin.

"Alright, my names Hatake Kakashi I've got likes and dislikes as for my dreams I'd rather not say," Kakashi said with a smile.

"Well that was useless," thought the three Genin.

"Well let's see how about you go first," Kakashi said pointing to Hinata.

"M-my names H-hyuga Hinata, I like f-flower stamping and m-making m-medicines, I dislike p-people that judge o-others without getting to k-know them, and my d-dream is to get stronger to p-protect those I c-care about and to c-change my clan," Hinata stuttered out.

"Interesting," thought Kakashi, "All right you next," Kakashi said pointing to Sasuke.

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke, I don't have many likes and I dislike a lot, my dream... no my ambition is to take revenge against a certain man and revive my clan."

"I'd hoped he'd given up on that cause," Kakashi thought with a sigh, "okay your last," Kakashi said lazily pointing to Reikon.

"My names Kyukatsu Reikon, I like training and ramen, I dislike the three minutes it takes for ramen to cook and arrogant people and my dream is to find something worth dieing for," Reikon said in a level tone that sent shivers down the others spines.

"Well, this is definitely the strangest group I've ever been given," thought Kakashi, "well you three are interesting, a brooding boy that doesn't listen to others, a quit girl that barely talks above a whisper and a blind boy. I guess if we put you three together we can get one decent Genin," Kakashi said.

At that Sasuke glared at his sensei, Reikon muttered about dumb sensei's and Hinata just looked more depressed.

"All right team, tomorrow you'll be on your first mission," Kakashi said to the young Genins.

"So what's the mission Kakashi-sensei," Reikon asked.

"A survival training mission," Kakashi responded.

"B-but we already p-practiced survival training in the a-academy K-kashi-sensei," Hinata said nervously.

"This won't be your regular survival training Hinata," Kakashi responded to the Hyuga girl.

"How so Kakashi-sensei," Reikon asked curiously.

"The survival training is a test to determine if you all qualify to be Genin," Kakashi said with a smirk.

"I-i thought that w-was what the t-test that we t-took two d-days ago was f-for sensei," Hinata stuttered out nervously.

"No, that was just to determine who from your class qualified to test for Genin," Kakashi said.

"Easy," Sasuke said with a smirk.

"Not as easy as you think Sasuke," Kakashi said to the Uchiha survivor," you see of the twenty-seven people that qualified and were put into three-man squads to test for Genin, only thirty-three percent off them will pass, the other sixty-six percent are booted back to the academy and will have to try again next year."

At that statement the three potential Genin stiffened up and you could see shock in Hinatas' and Sasukes' eyes. While you couldn't see it on Reikons' face you could still see that he was still shocked by what Kakashi said.

"This will be a pass or fail test for the three of you, you get one chance to pass and that's it. Come tomorrow to training ground seven tomorrow at five A.M. and make sure to bring all your survival gear," Kakashi said to his students, "oh, and don't eat any breakfast or you'll puck.

With that Kakashi disappeared in a plume off smock leaving the three young shinobi on the roof of the academy to ponder the test that they would need to pass too become full fledged Genin. One by one the three left the building to head home starting with Sasuke then Hinata and finally Reikon. On the top of the academy Reikon leaned on the railing and looked out at Konoha, after a few minutes of looking he headed back to his new apartment to prepare for the next day.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The previous day went by quickly as three potential Genin of team seven prepared themselves. The next day found them in the middle of training ground seven. Reikon leaning against a tree looking like he may be asleep but with his facemask and Hitai-ate covering his eyes it was hard to tell. Hinata sitting on the ground with her legs drawn up and her arms holding onto her knees with her eyes barely open. Sasuke was standing away from the other two with his arms and trying to not let his eyes droop in an attempt to keep up his avenger demeanor. It wasn't for another three hours that the three young shinobis' sensei arrived. Sasuke and Reikon put off a strong killer intent at their senseis' for his late arrival and even Hinata put off a small aura of anger toward her sensei.

"Ah, good morning to you. I'm sorry I'm late put an old lady needed too borrow some powdered sugar from me but since I didn't have any powdered sugar I spent the morning crushing the sugar I had for her," Kakashi with a smirk.

Sasuke continued glaring at Kakashi and Reikon was mumbling under his breath.

"All right, before we start I'll explain the rules to you three," Kakashi said while he reached his hands into one of the pockets of his vest. When he pulled his hand out the three young shinobi saw that he had two bells attached to strings.

"Here's what you are going to do, I'm going to set this alarm clock for noon. In that time use whatever means necessary to take one of these bells away from me. You get a bell you pass, simple," Kakashi said.

"A-anou, K-kashi-sensei there are o-only two bells," Hinata stuttered out.

"That's right, which means one off you will automatically fail and be sent back to the academy," Kakashi said to his now shocked students.

"Alright, three... two... one... GO!" Kakashi said to the three shinobi who disappeared in a cloud of dust at the word "go."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Five minutes later shows a slightly interested Kakashi standing in the same place as when the test started. Sasuke, Hinata and Reikon where hidden in the woods around Kakashi waiting for an opening.

"These kids aren't half-bad, for Genin they hide themselves well. I wonder who'll attack first. Not that Hyuga girl though, she seems too meek for that. That kid Reikon seems too patient to start off first as well. Sasuke on the other hand he seems to out to prove himself too wait much longer," Kakashi thought to himself," ah, speak of the devil."

Coming out of the woods about fifty-feet from Kakashi's left was Sasuke. He was running full speed at his sensei while forming seals in his hand. When Kakashi recognized the seals his visible eyebrow raised in interest, thinking that a Genin couldn't use the jutsu that Sasuke was about to attempt. Suddenly, at fifteen-feet from Kakashi Sasuke jumped into the air completing the hand seals and yelling out," Katon: Housenka no jutsu! (Fire Style: Mythical Fire Flower Technique)" and a multitude of fireballs rocketed out off Sasuke's mouth and heading toward his sensei. Out in the woods the remaining Genin hopefuls watched Sasuke's attack, Hinata worried about their sensei and Reikon sweat dropped at Sasuke's impatience. Five feet before the fireballs hit Kakashi performed some one-handed seals with his right hand in his pocket so his students wouldn't see. After he finished the fireballs hit some around him others right at his chest. Sasuke smiled in a arrogant smirk thinking he got Kakashi in one hit, Hinata's eyes went wide in shock thinking Sasuke actually killed their sensei and Reikon smiled looking behind Sasuke and slightly to his left. Once Sasuke hit the ground he surveyed the damage and looking for his sensei. To his surprise once the smoke cleared from his attack there was nothing but a flaming log where his sensei had once stood.

"Kawarimi? But where..." Sasuke started to say when he heard movement behind him, turning his head seeing Kakashi crouched down behind him with his hands together with his index and middle finger extended.

"Konohagakure Furui Taijutsu" Itami no Sennen! (Village Hidden in the Leaves Ultimate Fighting Technique: One Thousand Years of Pain)," Kakashi yelled as he thrusts his hand into Sasuke's... well... you know where if you've seen the show (ouch). The Uchiha was launched into the air holding his rear and yelling in pain before landing in a near bye stream. Both Hinata and Reikon were looking at the scene with their jaws hanging open feeling sorry for the Uchiha. Sasuke on the other hand had regained his composure under the water and was pissed the humiliation he had endured by his sensei.

"He'll pay for that," Sasuke thought as he was planning for another attack against Kakashi.

"You'll have to do better then that Sasuke," Kakashi called out to the Uchiha.

Then out of the water three shurikan came flying out at the one-eyed Jonin. Before they hit Kakashi intercepted them and caught them on his fingers, he looked on in a lazy look as Sasuke came popping out of the water and once again barreling toward Kakashi. Sasuke went to his shurikan and kunai holster and pulled out three of each, three kunai in his left hand and three shurikan in his right hand. He sent these flying and heading towards Kakashi and once again going through hand seals. Meanwhile Kakashi was dodging the projectiles with ease as Sasuke was getting closer.

"What's he up to now," Kakashi thought going through hand seals again while observing Sasuke, once again he recognized the hand seals that Sasuke was performing," not bad, but does he have enough chakra for it."

Sasuke stopped five-feet from Kakashi this time as he yelled out "Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu! (Fire Style: Grand Fireball Technique)" putting his right hand to his mouth and putting his index finger and thumb together as a giant fireball appeared about halve as high as Sasuke and then shot out at Kakashi. Sasuke looked on thinking he had succeeded this time only to hear, " Doton: Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu (Earth Style: Inner Decapitation Technique)" two hands popped out of the ground underneath Sasuke and grabbed him by the ankles and pulled him under till just his head remained visible.

"Your too cocky Sasuke, not all of your plans succeed in one try, you need to keep on moving," Kakashi said with a smirk as he appeared in front of Sasuke.

Kakashi then turned around from Sasuke placed his hand inside a pocket on his left leg and pulled out a book. He flipped to page with a folded up corner and started to walk away while giggling as he started to read. Sasuke was desperately trying to dig himself out of the ground as Kakashi walked away from him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Reikon was watching the fight with interest. He was observing Kakashi to see if he could find a weakness in his form to take advantage off when he tried to take the bells.

"This isn't going to work. I'd have to use at least one tail to beat him and take one off those bells," Reikon said to himself," if I can't beat him then how are Uchiha and Hinata-san supposed to beat him. There's something I'm not thinking about, he's a Jonin were supposed to be Genin and to pass we have to beat him. That doesn't make sense, but maybe if we work together we might make it... that's it. This is a teamwork exercise," Reikon thought," I've got too find Hinata-san and dig up the Uchiha."

Reikon leaped from his tree and headed toward where Hinata was hiding. He jumped up in the tree behind her and tapped on her shoulder, she nearly feel out of the tree in fright but then turned around and saw Reikon with his index finger over his mask were his mouth would be and signaled her to fallow him. The two off them headed toward Sasuke who was still having problems unearthing himself. Reikon was able to dig him up and dragged him toward a small grove of trees with Hinata behind him.

"Let me go dobe," Sasuke said as they arrived at the stand of trees.

"Listen to me for a second Uchiha, I think I've figured out what this test is really about," Reikon said to the stubborn Uchiha.

"W-what d-do you mean R-reikon-san," Hinata asked to her teammate.

"I mean that there is no way one green Genin can defeat a seasoned Chunin let alone Jonin. Which means there's got to be another purpose to this test," Reikon replies to Hinata.

"Maybe for you, but I'm not that weak," Sasuke said angrily to Reikon.

"Oh, really you were doing a good job before," Reikon said to a scowling Sasuke," just listen up for a second. How many students passed the exam at the academy?"

"Twenty-six," Hinata said.

"Right and with me that makes twenty-seven, know how many people in each team?" Reikon asked.

"Three," Hinata answered again.

"And that makes how many teams," Reikon asked again.

"Nine," Hinata answered again, this time with more confidence thinking she knew were Reikon was going with this line off questions.

"Thank you Hinata-san, and since Kakashi said that only sixty-six percent of the teams pass then how many are leftover," Reikon asked.

"Three," Hinata said again a bit louder and with a small smile.

"Good, know teme you answer me this, if only three teams of three people will pass then why are we talking a test that will insure that at most only two people can pass," Reikon asked looking at Sasuke, Sasuke at this point was going over what Reikon had said and found that it maid sense.

"We shouldn't," Sasuke answered to Reikon.

"Good, then from where I stand that means that there is only one purpose and one way to pass this test," Reikon said.

"Teamwork," Sasuke said slowly.

"But w-hy are there only two b-bells Reikon-san," Hinata asked with a bit more confidence.

"Most likely to split us up instead of working as a team," Reikon responded," look I've got a plan to get those bells, but just incase I'm wrong you two can take the bells and pass. Alright"

Reikon's two teammates nodded at him as he started to tell them his plan.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Half an hour till noon the three made their move. Hinata and Sasuke took opposite sides of Kakashi, hiding themselves in the woods while Reikon would distract Kakashi and signal them when to get the bells.

"Oh, so they decided to work together did they," Kakashi said to himself as he sensed Hinata and Sasuke's faint chakra signature," but where's Reikon?"

Said person was actually traveling under the earth toward Kakashi with a handy Doton that he had learned during his travels in Earth Country. Suddenly while Kakashi was deciding whether or not to attack Sasuke and Hinata Reikon popped up from the earth behind him with his legs looked Kakashi's and his index finger on his right hand was placed on Kakashi's neck while the thumb from the same hand was placed on a spot on Kakashi's right shoulder. His arm had grabbed onto Kakashi's neck and putting him in a slight chocker hold.

"Not bad Reikon, but unfortunately this wont work," Kakashi said, not putting up a struggle thinking he would mess with his student first.

"And why's that Kakashi-sensei," Reikon said with a smile.

"While this was a nice strategy Reikon, physically you don't have the right body size or strength to keep me here," Kakashi said with a smile, then he tried to move himself out of the lock only to find out that all his muscles had frozen up, leaving him unable to move or form hand seals.

"Nice little trick, ha Kakashi-sensei I'm pressing down on specific pressure points that freeze up the human body for as long as I'm in contact with them, normally these are suicide pressure points for the user seeing how close they would be to the opponent and are therefore rarely used, but

for this test they work out fine don't you think," Reikon said with a smirk of his own," Uchiha, Hinata now!" Reikon yelled to his teammates. Sasuke and Hinata ran toward Reikon and Kakashi when Reikon yelled, both had a kunai in hand. Hinata approached faster then Sasuke, Sasuke through his kunai toward Kakashi cutting the string too one of the bells which Hinata caught smoothly while cutting the last bell which fell into Sasuke's out stretched and as he leaped at it and hit the dirt rolling to correct him self and skidded to a stop on his knees while Hinata made a sharp turn face back toward Reikon and Kakashi and skidded to a stop as well. Reikon after seeing his teammates skidding to a stop let go of Kakashi and leaped a few feat behind him just as the alarm clock rung for the end of the test.

"Looks like you lose Kakashi-sensei," Reikon said with a smug look at his sensei while Hinata was nearly jumping for joy and Sasuke was wearing a happy smile on his face.

"You right," Kakashi said impressed at their team work but wondering how far they were willing to go for one another," Sasuke, Hinata you pass. Reikon since you didn't get a bell you fail."

The three-said shinobi were looking at Kakashi with surprise and anger. Sasuke at losing a strong teammate that could strive him to become stronger though he would never admit it. Hinata for losing a teammate that treated her kindly and not as if she were weak. Reikon, for failing his father and Kyuubi.

"But," Kakashi said to the three," since Reikon did so well in organizing your victory I'll give him another chance."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Two minutes later you could see Reikon tied to the middle of three logs about ten feet high and three feet in width. Hinata and Sasuke had their lunches out in front off them and Kakashi was holding Reikon's.

"All right then, here's how this will work. Since Hinata and Sasuke passed you get to eat lunch, Reikon since you didn't you'll have to watch them eat theirs while I get to eat yours. After lunch you get another three hours to get a bell from me with no help from Sasuke or Hinata," Kakashi said as he started to walk away from the three young shinobi," oh and if anyone feeds Reikon they along with him automatically fail." With that Kakashi disappeared.

Hinata and Sasuke were eating their lunches for a few minutes when they each maid their own decision. With out talking both of them got up from the fallen logs they were sitting on and headed towards Reikon. When they got to him they both presented him with their lunches.

"What are you doing you two," Reikon asked in a confused tone?

"Seems we're giving you lunch now quickly, we'll untie and you eat something quickly before Kakashi-sensei gets back, said Sasuke to Reikon.

"But, you'll fail if you get caught," Reikon said while Hinata walked closer to him and started to untie him.

"B-but your the r-reason we p-passed, we n-never would have g-gotten a bell without you R-reikon-kun (Yes I know I changed she's just more comfortable around him)," Hinata said as she got him lose.

When Reikon got lose he stumbled a bit but caught himself and righted himself and saw Sasuke handing his lunch to him, "eat up I'd rather not lose you as a teammate Reikon."

Reikon looked at Sasuke and Hinata for a moment before taking the lunch from Sasuke," thanks Hinata... Sasuke." As he started eating Kakashi who had hid himself not to far away from them smiled at what he saw, deciding to play one more trick on them he did a few seals and puffed from his hiding spot and in front of them. Looking menacing at the three Genin as dark clouds appeared over him," YOU THREE..." he said evilly," pass." He said normally as the clouds disappeared. The three Genin who moments ago were in shock of maybe failing fell over.

"What do mean we passed sensei," Reikon yelled angrily at their sensei for scaring them.

"You three are the only ones to ever under stand the true meaning of my test, to work together," Kakashi said with a smile.

"But w-why did y-you m-ake us t-think Reikon-kun d-didn't pass," Hinata asked Kakashi.

"To see if you could think for yourselves, all the other teams that got this far always did what I said and leave their teammate to go hungry instead of risking to help them. In the ninja world those that disobey orders are trash, but those that betray their teammates are lower then trash. You two helped Reikon even though I said not too. That's why you passed, welcome officially too Seam Seven.

And there we have it another chapter to my story. Sorry it took so long but it took me a while to figure out the chapters specifics. From now own most off these chapters will take at least one too two weeks to develop due to complexity and length. I'll be waiting for reviews, till later then this is Cyberkagekitsune wishing you well.
