"Nawuto, do… do you think we can pass?" Sasuke asks. Naruto turned towards his adopted brother. He allowed a smile to creep on his face and forced his eyes to brim with hope. "We will." Sasuke nodded towards Naruto's false bravado, enthralled by the confidence that Naruto oozed. But, eventually their walk stopped as they got to their target area. Naruto could
see Hinata fiddling with her thumbs with her normal nervous look on her face.
Then, the waiting began. Naruto just stretched during the waiting period, and Hinata and Sasuke just sort of waited. But, eventually, Kakashi appeared, saving them from an even more extended waiting period.
"I'm going to start an alarm for noon…. You will have until that alarm goes off to get two bells that I have in my possession," Kakashi made a show of the bells before continuing, "as such, only two of you will pass… if you can get the bells at all... Begin." Naruto was the first to disappear. Leaving a mud clone in his place as he vanished into a part of the forest that he had scouted out earlier. The clone, distracted Kakashi to focus on him, while Sasuke and Hinata disappeared at their own speeds. Kakashi easily tore apart the earth clone before kicking it away from him. Hinata's foot touched the ground, and immediately she was met with Naruto standing beside her. "I'm going to be honest with you, Hinata. I can not take a Jounin level threat by myself… will you help me?" unbeknownst to Hinata, Naruto was having this same
exact conversation with Sasuke.
"B-but only two of us will pass." She replied.
"To think about this logically, to this date, and to my knowledge, there has yet to be a three man unit, most are four until you reach the rank of Chunin." Naruto explained.
"I-I see." She responds. Naruto then leads her and Sasuke into the same position, for the proper planning time. "So… here's what I got," Naruto began, "So, I'm going to distract him by going under ground and appearing next to him with a few clones. Sasuke, you're going to take this time to throw as many kunai as you can over here, and Hinata, you're going to help
me engage Kakashi in Taijutsu, wait until I attack to approach though." Kakashi smiled under his
mask, the plan wasn't all bad, though there were plenty of kinks that he would be sure to exploit. But, for now, it was time to act like the ignorant fool. He sensed Naruto and three clones approaching him quickly underground, and Hinata ready to pounce on the edge of the tree line. But, he waited for the real Naruto and the three clones to pop out of the ground.
And they did, Naruto and the three clones jumped out of the ground, and Kakashi easily kicked away the two he knew were clones, before gripping the throat of the "original"…. That is
until the form that he was holding collapsed into mud.
"Katon: Goukakyu no jutsu." Kakashi heard, and he barely turned before he saw the fireball coming towards him… from three feet away.
It was only thanks to is constant use of the Sharingan that he avoided major harm by the jutsu, his body was just able to use a substitution jutsu. But, he wasn't able to escape unsinged and his clothing, now partially black with soot, showed that. Naruto wasn't done however, when he was on Kakashi the next moment, forcing him back to the open field. Naruto's split second movement of his eyes keyed him into, the fact that something was happening behind him. He glanced behind him, only to find a few dozen kunai heading towards him. Kakashi silently cursed the dangerous place that this put him and Naruto. But, before he could do anything
else, Naruto grabbed onto him, forcing him to stay there and take the kunai with him. Kakashi kicked Naruto off of him, before using a quick substitution to get away from the impending kunai. The Naruto he kicked off disappeared into mud, but not before a silver object was thrown into the hand of the "real" Naruto.
Kakashi stood stock still for a moment, not having realized that he had already given up one of the bells. It was only his experience as a shinobi that allowed his body to move around fast enough to dodge Hinata's Jyuken strike. To think that a bunch of six year olds were forcing him on the defensive… even if one of them is the son of his sensei.
But, Kakashi still glanced around, making sure that there wasn't going to be another nasty surprise waiting for his next misstep. When he could, he allowed Hinata to lunge to his side, dodging out of the way, and tripping Hinata. Sasuke was his next opponent, and so he allowed Sasuke to get close to him. He tempted him to go for the bell instead of engaging him in a solid taijutsu fight, and just like he expected, Sasuke went straight for the bell. He grasped towards it, before Kakashi forced him down onto his knee. Sasuke collapsed to the floor, and attempted to breathe, tears were forming in his eyes, and before Kakashi could turn towards the crying child, a clone of Naruto took Sasuke away from the fight.
"You shouldn't have done that." Naruto warns, his blue eyes filled with anger.
"Are you going to cry when I hit you too?" Kakashi taunts.
Naruto didn't run towards him like expected, and all he did was create a few clones. Each of them disappeared into the earth, and Naruto and Kakashi were the only ones left above ground. Then Naruto ran towards Kakashi, far faster than Kakashi had been expecting, and faster than he knew Naruto could run. Kakashi thought this was Naruto's max speed, and allowed Naruto to come towards him. Then, Naruto became a blur for only a second, leaving only a whiff of red chakra where he was before he was behind Kakashi. Kakashi turned around, shocked to the core by the move that Naruto just pulled off. It shouldn't be possible for Naruto to use the Kyubi, he shouldn't know about the damned Kyubi yet. Though, Kakashi calmed his confusion by the simple fact that Naruto was most likely using it unconsciously, being too mad to care who's chakra he was using. Kakashi's thinking of course led to him being brutally axe kicked in the head, having forgotten about the fight for a moment. Kakashi shook off the attack, but not
before a clone burst out the ground, attempting to grab one of the bells. He stropped this one, easily kicking it away, but then the real Naruto toppled him from behind, and one of the clones chose that exact moment to burst out of the ground.
He reached for the bell, coming close…. Before the alarm clock starting ringing. Kakashi was standing upright the moment it began ringing, and he stared at the children in front of him. The two clones in front of Hinata and Sasuke, acting as protection, and the Naruto that had been keeping him too occupied to prey on their weakness. Overall, he couldn't help but admire the team in front of him, sure their age would become an issue, especially should Sasuke ever break down in a fight like that without Naruto around him. It would be dangerous for their entire team, and Naruto would have to pick up the slack... by a lot.
The silence to Sasuke and Hinata was awful. They were sidelined by two Naruto clones, keeping them both in the same spot, and protected from Kakashi. They didn't do much to go
against Kakashi, and Naruto still did most of the heavy lifting. But, then the sky formed dark clouds and Kakashi got a serious look on his face. "YOU!" He bellowed, "Passed."
And the sun returned to the training field once more. Hinata and Sasuke let out a sigh of relief. Then, Naruto smiled for the smallest of moments, before he collapsed into the dirt. His body shutting down after what he put it through. Kakashi sweat-dropped at the scene, Naruto kept everyone else out of the fight, and he was on the verge of collapse… great.
"Meet here at 8 am in the morning, disperse." He ordered.
He disappeared into the tree-line. And he watched with a smile as Hinata helped Sasuke pick up Naruto, though they both were struggling. They moved him maybe twenty feet before
Naruto's eyes opened. Naruto was shocked to say the least, the two of them smiling at him nervously while his eyes glanced around. Naruto said his thanks for carrying him this far, and allowed Hinata to go home. He stood up, his legs wobbly and it was obvious that he was still
struggling to stand up, but he leaned on Sasuke's shoulder to the Uchiha compound. Once they met Fugaku there, Naruto once again face planted.
-_-Later-_-
Kakashi stared at his students, the twenty-two year old glancing at each student. Sasuke was
obviously Obito, whether it was just the fact that he was an Uchiha, or the way that he portrayed himself. Hinata could be Rin, but she was neither here nor there, she had the best chakra control out of any of his students, but that was a given with her Hyuga upbringing. And Naruto, he was both Kakashi himself, and Minato.
But, Kakashi shan't dwell on the past, this team wasn't going to end up like his. But, he knew that before he could go on any difficult missions, he would have to break Sasuke out of his childish nature… and fast. Though, Kakashi knew that he would be pressured to train these children to a whole different level within the next few years, failure wasn't going to be an option. It was the simple fact that he was dealing with the children of some very important shinobi. Inability would prove to be a detrimental to his health.
But, it was time to begin the training that he had already thought up for the bunch. Weights weren't going to be an option, not for Hinata and Sasuke at least. That meant that Naruto would most likely be forced into the Taijutsu slot for the team, but it would also be a severe waste of his reserves… Still, he could get Naruto to be a close to mid-range fighter, and have Sasuke back him up with ninjutsu, and Hinata as a support role.
He could try to get through with that so long as he taught Hinata Taijutsu. But, what should he teach his disciples, jutsu wise at-least. Hinata would be an issue, as Kakashi was not a Genjutsu or medical specialist. But, he would definitely be able to help out Naruto and Sasuke in that regard… but before he could do any of that, he had to get their thoughts on the roles that he has made up for his team. And well…. they were still on their first training ground, getting into elemental territory would be Chunin level… and he planned to keep them away from that much of an advanced training until he had worked out some of the issues with his team. The most notable issue being the temperament of each of his shinobi.
"Good to see that you have all arrived at the given time." Kakashi compliments, announcing his presence to his students.
Hinata and Sasuke immediately spun around when they heard his voice. Naruto on the other hand… he just lazily turned his body slowly towards Kakashi… and Kakashi disappeared… and appeared right in front of Naruto. He brutally kicked Naruto into his stomach, sending him a few yards before he even touched the ground again, and tumbling further once he did land. Dual kunai were implanted into the ground, courtesy of Naruto, to stop his tumbling about. Once he stopped, he let go of the kunai and clutched his chest, trying to stabilize his breathing, but his eyes continued to glare at Kakashi. "I will not accept laziness during out training periods. Anything perceived as such will be met with strict punishment, do you understand?" Kakashi questioned.
His face softened into a smile at the nodding faces of the children in front of him. "So… this is how this is going to work." He began.
-_-Omake-_-
"Good to see that you have arrived at the given time." Kakashi announces.
Hinata and Sasuke immediately spun around when they heard his voice. Naruto on the other hand… he just lazily turned his body slowly towards Kakashi… and Kakashi disappeared… and appeared right behind Naruto. "One thousand years of death!" Kakashi yelled as he attacked his students rear end.
Naruto flew up into the air, and continued flying for multiple meters before falling into the dirt with a harsh crack….
-_-Later-_-
Breaking News!
Hatake Kakashi, or as the shinobi world knows him, "Sharingan no Kakashi", is currently in deep waters after the conduct he has treated his students with. Three genin's minds will forever be tainted by the acts of the former war hero. Some background on Hatake, he was taught by Namikaze Minato with two other genin, but he eventually procured a Jounin rank while his teammates remained Genin. He continued doing missions with his two teammates until tragedy shook, on a mission his friend and teammate Uchiha Obito, died. But, not before he gave Kakashi a parting gift of the Sharingan. His teammate Rin was the only other person that was aware of the procedure at the time, and she was the one who implanted the Sharingan into Kakashi's skull… but, again, tragedy struck.. During a recovery of Rin, he supposedly watched Rin die, however there are more… sinister theories behind this story.
Many people have begun to believe that the prodigy killed his teammate Obito in a blind act go get another boost of power. And he forced his teammate Rin to implant the eye into his head, and people speculate that the reason he can't turn the Sharingan off, is because Obito cursed him before he died… Kakashi then killed Rin, leaving him the only one to know this stark truth.
The accusations of this court hearing has caused a full investigation into the history of Hatake Kakashi, and many believe that he will be found guilty.
However, this brings us to the most recent charges… the sexual assault of one Uzumaki Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto, the adopted son of Uchiha Fugaku, had just passed his Genin exams the day before, and when he went to the training ground for training, what he found shocked him. He was basically ambushed by Hatake, and Naruto could do nothing to protect himself… for now, Hatake Kakashi claims insanity was the main reason that he did what he did, but the honorable Yamanaka Inoichi has been getting involved with the investigation. That is all the information that has been made public at the time.
This has been the report by the Konoha News Network. Please subscribe to our issue for the next information regarding this case.
-_-Fin-_-
Hello there, Citrus here. That Omake doesn't mean anything, do not worry. I'm not changing the tags on this, but the story is still M-rated, so… Regardless, the next chapter will hopefully be out on Christmas day, and I hope to see you all there.
Remember, if you enjoyed the story, please comment or vote on it. It means a lot to me, and I'll respond to every one that I get.
Onto that part of the story, I would like to thank "TheFireWasEverywhere" for commenting on the last part. I'm going to do what I can to stop rushing chapters. I've taken a bit more time with this one, but I can still feel the remnants of issues… I'm going to have to find myself a beta… I will explain the growth in Naruto's character in a later chapter, but for now I'm going to keep it ambiguous, though you can probably already have a taste of what the truth will end up being.. And thank you for saying the story is good, it's really appreciated.
Anyway, Citrus out.
