Forgot to mention this earlier guys! Unfortunately, I don't own Naruto! All credit goes to Masashi Kishimoto for being the creator!
Sitting in the classroom, three future genin hopefuls were sitting around one of the seats. After about an hour of waiting for their sensei, Naruto had pulled out a pack of cards from his jacket pocket. Reaching into his pack, Sasuke proceeded to bring out various small snacks and candies, while Sakura brought out some drinks.
"Go fish anyone?"
Hatake Kakashi was walking through the hallways of the Academy, perfectly aware that he is 3 hours late to picking up his genin hopefuls. Lets see here. A hyperactive, talentless blonde, a brooding revenge filled brat, and a fangirl ninja wannabe. Obito, Rin, Sensei, it looks like another year is going to pass without me as a sensei.
Coming to the classroom door, he stared at the slightly open crack it had. Naruto probably is trying to play some silly prank, I guess I'll just go with it.
Pushing open the door, Kakashi had let his guard down enough to be surprised at tripping over some ninja wire, set off a barrage of water balloons, and…
The tips of his hair was somehow pink. How on earth did they manage that!?
Glaring at the genins, he realised they were still ignoring him. They seemed to be playing, a kid's card game? Whatever.
"My first impression of you, is-"
"Hold it there!" Sakura shouted. Turning away from their game. "Your impression of us?! What about our impression of you! What shinobi, much less a shinobi sensei, comes three hours late?! Now excuse me while we finish up our game."
Kakashi gawked. Did that pink haired supposed fangirl just give him such a lecture?
"Fine. Then meet me up on the roof in 5 minutes." With that, he shunshined away.
10 minutes later…
"How do you get so good at something like Go Fish? I mean, what kind of practice is there for a game like that?!"
"Hn."
"Oh please, it's not just natural talent."
"Say Naruto, isn't that what you said about gambling?"
"Heheh Sakura, I guess."
"Hn."
"Fine, fine! Just forget it."
Kakashi glared. "You're late."
Sasuke scoffed. "You're one to talk."
Kakashi sighed. I don't even have the will to do introductions now. I just want to get this over with.
" The three of you already know each other, your characteristics are nothing like that academy profiles, and I'm your jounin sensei Hatake Kakashi."
"Are you gonna give us a genin exam?"
"Yes, yes, wait, how did you know that?"
"Older brother, remember?"
"Alright then. I want you all to be at training ground 7 tomorrow morning at 8. I'd suggest that you don't eat breakfast, or else you will puke. Goodbye!" Kakashi poofed out of existence.
"We gonna eat?"
"Yea, there's no way I'm missing food."
"Hn."
The next morning at 9:30am, we see our three troublemakers having a picnic at training ground 7. Not to mention a bit of reading material, and a familiar pack of go fish cards.
"Is attack plan 9 ready?"
"Hn."
"Alright, we'll just have to wait for sensei to show up then."
"How can anyone be so late?"
"Hn."
"Doesn't matter. Oh, and go fish."
"Hn!"
POOF!
"Good morning my cute genins! Are your ready to start your genin test?"
"Excited, aren't we?"
"...We guess."
Kakashi's smile never wavered. "Alright!" He pulled out two bells. "Your task is to get these two bells from me. As you can see, there are only two. That means, one of you will fail the test and be sent back to the academy!"
They blinked.
"Ahem. Well, I want you to come at me with the intent to kill, or you'll get nowhere near to getting the bells. Don't worry, I can take it."
"We know you can! You're a jounin for Kami's sake!"
Kakashi rolled his eyes. "Alright. Well on top of that, whoever doesn't manage to get a bell won't be able to have any lunch either. We'll be timing an hour until noon."
Expecting to hear their stomachs growling, he was surprised to see Naruto give a loud burp.
"Don't worry about that, we already ate."
...
...
...
Kakashi sighed. "Alright, we start in 3...2...1...go!"
The genin were gone.
Well I better go find them then. They can't have figured out the meaning behind the test already?
"He's almost in position."
"Shhh, or he'll hear you!"
Kakashi continued walking through the trees. He could feel the slight presence of chakra around the forest. The only thing. There were a lot of small chakra signatures around him. He'd estimate it at about a good 100, maybe 150. Coming at one, he saw that it was Naruto. Appearing behind him, he whispered. "Found you."
Naruto, attempting to turn around and hit him, got caught by a light punch to his stomach, and knocking the breath out of him.
POOF!
The Kage Bunshin disappeared and Kakashi was caught in an explosion of paint.
Was that a Kage Bunshin with seals holding paint? That can't be…
A note was left where the Naruto clone was standing. It read, 'From Sakura'.
"I guess they did figure it out. It's not like they were any different then the academy reports. I'll have to go see the Sandaime after this."
"Hey Kakashi sensei!"
"Naruto-!"
POOF!
At the end of the hour, Kakashi was exhausted. Spending the entire time dodging booby trapped Naruto clones, he believes he did pretty well. He still had the bells too for that fact. Though he was pretty impressed. There were many traps laid around by Sasuke obviously, some of those seals on the clones were from Sakura, and Naruto was obviously the one sacrificing all those clones.
Though not once did any of them try to get a bell.
Looking at the genin. He asked, "So you knew that teamwork was the meaning of the test."
"Yep! We also wanted to play with you for a bit. Call it payback if you will."
Kakashi rolled his eyes. "None of you got a bell, so I'd make this whole speech about not eating lunch, but that's pointless too."
"Hnnnn."
"Yeah, whatever. So that means we are ninja now sensei?" Naruto asked, jumping up and down on the spot."
"Yes."
"YIPPEE!" Naruto shouted. "Ramen to celebrate!"
"Hn."
"Yes, we can have a tomato basket Sasuke. No need to get so riled up."
"Hn."
"Yes, just look at you! You need to calm down! What about your public image that you need to show off? Nobody would recognize you anymore!"
Sakura and Kakashi looked at Sasuke. He hasn't even moved. Much less did anything than grunt.
Kakashi continued his bored look. "I'm going to go see the Hokage. Meet here tomorrow at 7:00am for our first mission."
"Okay! See you at 10!" His genin called back, already running off.
Kakashi grumbled and Shunshined away. Why do I have a feeling this is going to be more of a pain than I expected?
Hey guys! Thanks for tuning in! I appreciate the feedback and support that you have given me. Coming up next, an early introduction with Team Gai! Now won't that be fun. See you next time!
