Turns out Kakashi used a Substitute Technique. Sasuke grabs Aika's hand and they quickly move out to avoid being found by Kakashi. A worried Sakura runs off to find Sasuke, only to be caught by Kakashi's genjutsu that made her believe she found a very injured Sasuke. This caused her to scream and faint.

Once confronted by Kakashi, Sasuke forces Kakashi to stop reading Icha Icha and use both hands to defend against his string of taijutsu attacks, while Aika kept her presence hidden as she sat in a tree watching. Sasuke then launches a giant fireball at Kakashi. The jōnin manages to avoid it by burring underground, before dragging Sasuke down, leaving only his head to be seen.

"Now!" Sasuke shouted as a bunch of Shadow clone Aikas jumped out from the trees and used fireball jutsu.

Kakashi quicklly jumped to avoid it They're working together, how interesting

"I missed" the real Aika said as Kakashi destroyed all of her clones, dropping two bells in the process and he runs off.

"I'm sorry Sasuke" Aika mumbled pulling Sasuke out of the ground.

Sasuke threw a kunai at where the two bells were, scaring Aika. Nothing happened, no trap. Sasuke went over and picked up the bells, he handed one to Aika. They high-fived and smiled.

Meanwhile Naruto manages to free himself from the tree he was hanging from and spots the food for lunch. Before he can try to snag a bite, Kakashi appears and ties him to a tree post. After a couple minutes the timer went off and everyone headed to the spot, Aika and Sasuke kept their bells hidden for now.

Kakashi meets with the four genin "Alright i won't be sending you two back to the Academy, you two will be dropped from being a ninja permanently"

Naruto got mad "What are you talking about we worked hard to get here! And why just two of us!"

"Because the other two got bells! They thought more like ninjas and not brats!" Kakashi said angry about Naruto's outburst.

After showing them Konoha's Memorial Stone, Kakashi decides to give them another chance. Still not saying who got the bells he tells Sasuke, Aika, and Sakura to eat and replenish their energy. However, since Naruto broke the rules and tried to eat before the test was complete, he is forced to watch.

If either of them feed Naruto, they will immediately fail. After Kakashi leaves, Sasuke and Sakura begin eating their food, while Naruto's stomach growls of hunger. Aika opened her food and gave some to Naruto.

"Aika your going to get in trouble" Sakura scolded

"I'm not about to let my brother starve" Aika said and continued to feed her brother

Sasuke decides to share his food with Naruto too "we need to retrieve the bells as a team and need everyone at good strength" Sakura hesitates, but decides to share her food as well.

Kakashi appeared "you will be punished for not following orders!"

"But we're a team" Sakura started

"we need to work together" Sasuke continued

"teams don't let their comrades suffer" Aika said

"yeah believe it!" Naruto ended

"YOU... have passed"

"...huh?"

"yes it is true those who break the rules are considered scum, but those who abandon their friends are even worse than scum." Kakashi said

"By the way sensei if Naruto didn't get a bell and i didn't get a bell, does that mean that Sasuke and Aika got bells?" Sakura asked

Aika and Sasuke pulled out their bells and held them together proudly. Sakura and Naruto stared at them totally shocked. "How did you guys do it!?"

"simple" Aika said

"We worked together" Sasuke finished smiling at her.
