(Bell's Point Of View)
I woke up to the sun shining on my face which made me groan and turn over until my alarm clock went off which made me get up.
I went to the bathroom and took off my clothes then went into the shower. Turning on the water, I hummed in pleasure as the water hit my sore muscles that came from last night's activity.
Getting out of the shower, I dried my body and my hair then put the towel around me as I walked to my closet and opened it to see my one pair of clothes that I had for the two years I have been in the Academy.
I haven't grown at all since then so there was no reason to change my look of my clothing.
My hair is longer then it used to two years ago. It is now to my butt, which means I should cut it but I like it long so I'm going to keep it long.
After putting my clothes on, I went back to the bathroom and started to brush my rediualsly long hair then went to my kitchen, grabbed an apple, then walked out the door.
I was walking through town while eating my apple then I heard someone call out my name for which I turned to see Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka.
They were both fast walking to me and when they caught to me, they both grabbed my hands and started dragging me to the Academy at a faster pace then I was going.
I have become good friends with Sakura and Ino over the past few years and turns out they were more then just fan girls that only paid attention to Sasuke.
I found out that Ino is only fan girling over Sasuke so she can get attention from a boy that was popular.
Sakura actually loves Sasuke for who he is and not just becuase he is hot and everything like that. She was actually a charming girl who cared for Sasuke and, though she doesn't want to admit it, she cares about Ino as well.
I have got the both of them to look at Naruto differently. What I mean by that is that they both see Naruto in a different way instead of the idiot who doesn't know anything.
We made it to the Academy, and turns out that they were both racing each other and were trying to get to the Academy first.
My feet were tired by them dragging me but I thanked them for getting me their quickly and I sat in my seat next to Hinata.
Hinata, I think, has gotten more shy through the years because before she was able to talk to Naruto normally, but now she can barely look at him without fainting.
She keep getting down about it because her father keeps getting at her for being so shy and weak, but I am sure that in the future, she will be one of the strongest Kunoichi in the village.
I looked over to see Naruto sitting in front of Sasuke, and they were both glaring at each other like they couldn't see each other straight.
I smiled because, from what I believe in, those who hate each other, love each other the most. I am certain that in the future, they will get along just fine.
Suddenly, someone bumped into Naruto and both Sasuke and Naruto's lips connected together like they were kissing.
This made my cheeks flare up like it was no bodies businesses, but it quickly went away when I saw that the girls were about to beat up Naruto.
I used my speed to race up in front of Naruto with my arms stretched in a protective way. They stopped and sighed then walked away from Naruto.
I turned around to see Naruto standing up with a smile on his face. He rubbed the back of his neck and I swear that I saw him blush but it quickly faded as he thanked me.
I blushed a little and waved my hands, saying that he doesn't have to apologize then Iruka-sensei came in and told us to sit down.
He set his papers on his desk and smiled at us.
"To get here, you have faced difficult trials and hardships...but that's nothing. What comes next will be far more difficult. Now you are only Genin's...first level ninja. All the Genin will be grouped into three-man squads. Each squad will be led by a Jounin...an elite ninja."
Everyone looked shocked by this, even Sasuke. The two girls, Ino and Sakura started talking to each other about being in a squad with Sasuke which is no surprise. They put there attention back on there teacher who started speaking again. "We want each squad to have a balance of strengths and ability's, so that's how we set them up."
Everyone was excited as he started to look over the paper. "I will now announce the squads..." He went down the lists on names that were on each squad and it seemed that Naruto wasn't paying attention. He was probably waiting until his name came up.
"Team Seven: Naruto Uzumaki... Sakura Haruno. Naruto jumped up in excitment as Sakura just shook her head, probably thinking that he was an idiot. Sasuke Uchiha... Naruto looked down in disappointment while Sakura cheered in excitment. and Bell Ciera...
Naruto and Sakura cheered when my name was called which made me smile because it made me happy that they wanted me on their team.
I looked over to Hinata as he called out her name for Team Eight and teammates. I smiled at her for which she smiled at me and we just listened the other teams that were called.
After they were all called, Naruto stood up and started shouting, asking why he had to be on a team with Sasuke for which Iruka-sensei answered saying that he was second person at the top, close to first place which was me.
It was time for lunch and we were supposed to eat with our team but Sasuke said no and walked off on his own and Naruto secretly followed him.
I sighed and told Sakura that we could eat together which made her smile and nod so we walked to the park to eat lunch.
After eating our lunch, we talked and laughed for a little bit until we heard... "Your forehead is so big... It makes me want to kiss it..." We looked in front of us to see The Sasuke Uchiha with a smile on his face.
I felt his chakra and I actually found out that it was Naruto using a transformation Justu so trick Sakura.
I sighed then got up and said that I would leave the two of them alone and walked off.
I started walking back to the Academy while having a lot of thoughts going through my head.
Maybe Naruto lied when he said he love me... No... That he loved Risu, but in reality, he loves Sakura...
I sighed as I saw myself in front of the Academy so I walked into our classroom to see Iruka-sensei at his desk.
He looked up at me and smiled while welcoming in. "Aren't you supposed to be with your team, Bell?" I shook my head with sadness which made his eyes soften then pulled up a chair for me to sit next to him.
I sat down while looking down at my hands for which he started talking. "So what's the matter with you, Bell? You are always so happy when I see you..."
I looked up at him as a tear fell down my face which made him get frantic so I hurried and wiped it away and started to tell him what was wrong.
"One night, about two years ago, I brought him home and took care of his wounds after an encounter with the villagers... After I was done, I was about to leave until he shouted that... that he loved me..."
Iruka-sensei hummed while saying that he told him that he loved his Anbu protector, not Sakura. I sighed while speaking.
"That's just it... It has been two years since then and I haven't seen him as "Risu" for those past few years so..."
He sighed as I put my head down in shame. "You love him, don't you..." I looked up in surprise as he smiled at me. "I am glad that he has someone like you to protect him, Bell, even if he is to dense to notice you... Don't give up hope, Bell... He will come around..."
I gave him a small smile and nodded as the bell ring for everyone to come back to the Academy, so I wiped away my stray tears and went to my seat as I watched everyone come back in.
Iruka-sensei told us to sit next to our team for which we all switched so I was at the end with the order of Team seven going... Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, and me.
I blushed when I saw that Naruto was sitting next to me but I tried to ignore it as sensei's came in and took their students.
**********Time Skip brought to you by my parents going to an Italian Restaurant**********
It has been two hours and we were still waiting for our sensei to come and get us.
Iruka-sensei has already left so it was just the four of us waiting for our sensei to come and take us to where ever we needed to go.
Naruto finally got fed up and decided to do a prank on our sensei by putting an eraser on top of the door for which it will fall on sensei's head when he comes in.
After two minutes of putting the prank up, someone opened the door. It was a middle aged man with silver, gravity defying hair and one lazy showing while the other is covered by his headband.
This man's name was Kakashi Hatake, a famous ninja known in the Bingo books as Kakashi the copy-cat ninja or Kakashi of the Sharingan.
He used to be in the Anbu so I had worked with him a few times... His Anbu name was Inu so I knew him pretty well.
The man also looked like the man that I keep having a dream about... Is he the fourth person that I keep seeing in my dreams... Probably.
He hummed as he picked up the eraser that hit his head and put it next to the bored then looked at us. "I hate you all." The three of them looked down depressed while I just smiled at him, knowing that he was going to say that.
Kakashi-sensei told us to meet up on the roof then made a hand sign and disappeared. I wanted to leave like he did but I knew I couldn't and walked up the stairs like my teammates.
Once we were seated, he asked us to tell him about ourselves for which Sakura told him to go first.
"Me? I'm Kakashi Hatake... Things I like and things I hate...I don't feel life telling you that... My dreams for the future... Never really thought about it... As for my hobbies...I have lots of hobbies."
Everyone looked at him with an "WTF" look but then he asked for me to go.
"Hello! My name is Bell Ciera! I like music and training while I dislike those who hurt my precious people... My dream for the future is for a certain someone to notice me for me... and my hobbies are singing and learning new Jutsu's!"
He nodded with a smile then looked over to Naruto and told him to go.
"Believe it! I'm Naruto Uzumaki! I like the ramen in a cup and my Anbu protector! I dislike people looking down at others and waiting for the ramen to cook. My hobbies are training, gardening, and eating ramen. My dream is to become the greatest Hokage, so the village with stop disrespecting me and look up to me!".
I blushed at his comment when he mentioned his Anbu protector but it went away when Kakashi-sensei told Sakura to go.
"I'm Sakura Haruno! What I like... I mean the person I like is... My hobby is... My dream fit the future is... *Squeal*... And my dislikes are Ino!". I hear Kakashi-senpai sigh but I just gave her a nod and pointed to Sasuke.
"My name... Is Sasuke Uchiha. I don't like a lot of things... I dislike a lot of things... My hobbies are nothing you need to worry about... And my dream is not an ambition, but a reality, which is to kill a certain someone."
My eyes narrowed, knowing who he was talking about and I see that Kakashi-sensei's eyes were narrowed as well but then went back to his lazy posture.
"Great! You are ask unique and gave your own ideas. We will have our first mission tomorrow.". Naruto asked what there mission was excitedly and Kakashi-senpai scoffed but said anyway. "It's a task that the four of us will do together... A survival exercise.". They got confused by what he said because they already did that in the Academy.
"This is not like your previous training... Of the twenty seven graduates who just came here... Only nine will actually be accepted as Genin. The other eighteen will be weeded out and sent back to the Academy. I'm other words... This is a break it or make it pass/fail test and the percentage they your week fail if at study l sixty six percent.".
They all except for Sasuke had shock looks on their faces while I just kept my smile on my face, already knowing about this.
"Then what was the graduation test for anyway?". Kakashi scoffed. "Oh that? That was so we could pick out selected candidates who might become genin. That's what it is...I decided if you pass or fail. Meet at Training Ground Seven at five a.m and being your ninja gear, and don't eat breakfast or...you'll throw up.".
He made a hand sign then disappeared for which Sasuke walked away with Sakura on his trail. Naruto said goodbye to me with a smile on his face for which I smiled back and walked home as well.
***********Time skip brought to you by downloading all of the Naruto Openings on my phone**********
It was the next morning I woke up bright and early and had a small snack, because I knew that Kakashi-sensei was just playing with us, and headed out to our meeting spot.
We all seemed to make it the meeting spot at once, but from different directions.
Naruto and Sakura seemed really tired, but Sasuke walking like waking up at this time was no problem. I just walked while smiling at them and happily said hello to them.
Naruto and Sakura tiredly said hello while Sasuke just scoffed at me then kept looking at the ground.
Three hours passed then finally Kakashi-sensei showed up for which Naruto and Sakura were not happy about. They shouted at him about being late but he just gave a lame excuse about a black cat crossing his path.
He then went over to the three wooden posts, and put down an alarm clock while taking out three bells and held it in front of him, lazily. "Today's topic is to get one of these bells from me. Whoever can't will go without lunch."
Naruto shouted, "No lunch!" Then everyone's stomach grumbled except for mine. Kakashi-sensei narrowed his eyes at me while asking if I had breakfast.
I laughed nervously and told him that I had a small snack which made him sigh but then Sakura asked him why there were only three bells even though there were four of them
"That one person will go back to the Academy, so it might be just one or all of you. You can use your weapon's because you won't be able to get one without using them.
Sakura gasped and said that it was to dangerous which made Naruto laugh because he couldn't even dodge the eraser. "In society, those who don't have many abilities complain more, so just ignore the guy with the lowest score. We will begin after I say "start"."
I saw that this made Naruto mad so he chased after him, but I knew that he stood no chance against him so I put Chakra to my feet and quickly ran in front of Naruto, stopping him.
I see that Naruto was staring at me like he was trying to figure out something, but Kakashi-sensei spoke, bringing out of his thoughts.
"Naruto, calm down, I haven't said start yet... Good reflexes, Bell!" I nodded to him as he said start and we all jumped away from him.
**********Time skip brought to you by to many time skips**********
Sometime has passed and it was only me left because everyone else was trapped and refused my help.
I already knew the answer to the test was teamwork but I wasn't allowed to tell the others about it, so I was on my own.
I have not moved from my spot since the very beginning since I knew that if I fought then they would find out that I was above their level and start to get suspicious.
Finally, the bell rang and I see that Kakashi-sensei tied Naruto to a pole while Sakura and Sasuke sat next to him. He told me to come out, so I jumped out of the tree I was in and sat next to Sakura.
"I've decided that I won't send any of you back to the Academy... I am dropping you from the program... permenatly!" This shocked everyone, even Sasuke, and Naruto started asking why so Kakashi-sensei told him the reasons.
Naruto was because that he went for the obvious choices and didn't even try hiding or be anything that a ninja would do.
Sakura was because all she could think about a Sasuke so she wasn't able to focus on being a ninja and passing the test.
Sasuke was that he wanted to do it all alone without any help so of course he wouldn't pass.
Finally, he said that I was a coward for not coming out to face him or even try to help my friends when they were in trouble.
Kakashi-sensei then told us that the reason for this test was team work so we could learn to work together in missions.
He sighed then said that he would give us one more chance after we finish eating our food but Naruto doesn't get any, and with that, he left.
We started eating our food, until I went in front of Naruto, with a smile, and plucked some food into his mouth.
Sakura and Naruto asked why I was feeding him so I sighed and spoke. "We can't let Naruto go hungry if he is going to help us get those bells from Kakashi-sensei, right?"
Sasuke then shuved his food towards Naruto and told him to have it and so did Sakura which made me smile.
I knew that Kakashi-sensei was watching all of this but I didn't care.
Suddenly, thunderclouds appeared and Kakashi-sensei was standing over us. I hurry and got into a protective postion in front of my team as he spoke.
"You broke the rules, are you ready for your punishment!" I told him that we did for the purpose of us working together as one for which everyone agreed.
"You pass..."
The three of them looked confused but I just relaxed, but not fully, and smiled at him.
He then told us a quote about "Those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse then scum."
Everyone started celebrating while walking away but left Naruto on the pole. I untied him so he smiled at me and thanked me while running towards the team
I slowly walked with them while looking at the clouds, thinking of our next adventure.
