Cry of the Rain
The Team's Test
OOC: Thank you all for reading this, and such. I admit, I am a bit slow on my chapters as of late, but expect them to get better, and yes, the romance of NaruSaku will be full of drama, romance, and such. I warn people, as now my chapters will bash the loved Sasuke-teme. Also, I do not own Naruto, Kishimoto does
The Next Day, Training Field
Early day, the three teammates of Team 7 arrived at the field, their sensei was nowhere in sight, so Naruto passed time by sleeping against a tree with Sakura. It was hours before Naruto's opened his eyes to see Kakashi arriving. Naruto woke Sakura and the two made their way over to Kakashi and Sasuke. Naruto yawned and said, "So what is going down today, Kakashi-sensei?" Kakashi chuckled at this and said, "A Bell Test, you must get two bells from me, using teamwork. The one, who doesn't get a bell, is sent back to the academy. You are to come at me like your going to kill me." Naruto nodded and leaped away with Sakura as Kakashi started the timer.
Naruto whispered to Sakura, "I'll distract him, you go for the bells." Sakura nodded as Naruto burst out at Kakashi, and tried to engage him in Taijutsu, and for once, Kakashi had to pay attention, Naruto was fast, and kept coming at Kakashi, but finally hit Kakashi, who turned into a log. Naruto face faulted and looked around and closed his eyes, trying to search out Kakashi with a special technique he knew of. He then heard Kakashi, "…Sennin Goroshi!" Naruto opened his eyes and leaped up, with a burst of chakra.
He saw Kakashi look up and then formed hand seals and smirked. He sucked in air and said, "Suiton: Water Bullet!" Naruto then blew out a ball of water, which flew fast at Kakashi. Kakashi's visible eye went wide and he leaped back as the water crashed into the ground. Kakashi smiled behind his mask, knowing Naruto was now the strongest on their team. Naruto landed and grabbed the hilt of his sword he had on his back and unsheathed the sword. Kakashi's visible eye narrowed, he knew Naruto was going serious now.
Naruto smiled and said, "Time to show you what my 3 year trip gave me, Senkou, Shiro Kitsune."(Flash, White Fox). With that, Naruto was gone, and within a second, was before Kakashi, his pure white katana lunged toward Kakashi, and it was about to pierce the skin when Kakashi became a log. Naruto only shook his head as he stopped and sheathed his sword for now. He didn't have time for this and looked around, and then heard something from below, but found himself dragged down to where he was a head above Earth.
Kakashi appeared and smiled at him, until he noticed Naruto had truly mastered a way of replacing himself with something, or someone else. Now, stuck with his body underground, was Uchiha Sasuke, who was going to charge from behind to grab the bells. This gave Naruto and Sakura the chance, and Kakashi felt hands grab the bells. He whipped around and saw Naruto and Sakura with the bells. He chuckled and said, "Good job Naruto, you are far more powerful then I expected, why did Sakura not help out?"
Naruto said, "Well, she would have easily fallen to a genjutsu, and you're a jounin level ninja, so you have some way of trapping her. I figured if I could distract you, she could get the bells, but I noticed the Uchiha was going to charge, and used my own way of replacing myself with him, thus why she didn't help, she is more the genjutsu and smart type, not one for close range fighting, at her current standings." He smiled in an apologetic way to Sakura, hoping she wouldn't take offense, and she didn't, she knew it was true.
Kakashi nodded and said, "Very well, you all pass, while Sasuke was not much of a teammate, you found use for him, Naruto." Naruto chuckled as Sasuke finally got out of his predicament and said, "Tch, I let the dobe use me, he wouldn't have gotten the bells otherwise." Naruto snorted and said, "Please, Duck Butt, You're blinded by vengeance, so you will never be stronger then those with a heart." Sasuke lunged forward, and Kakashi was about to stop Sasuke, but Naruto merely dodged as Sasuke crashed into the ground. Naruto shook his head and took Sakura's hand and they walked off. Sasuke got up and scowled some more.
The couple sat at the ramen shop, as Naruto devoured his fifth ramen bowl, making Sakura giggle. Sakura spoke, "Naruto-kun, you need to eat healthier foods, you can't live on Ramen." Naruto chuckled and said, "I do, I just like Ramen a lot, as you can tell." He smiled at her and after cleaning off his mouth with a napkin; he leaned over and kissed Sakura on the lips, softly. Sakura smiled and kissed back, but pouted when Naruto pulled back. Naruto laughed and said, "Come on, we don't want people getting jealous." He smirked lightly and Sakura giggled some more and nodded, "Alright, Naruto-kun."
Naruto smiled at her as he took her hand again and He was taking her home. Sakura began to yawn, and felt herself get put in Naruto's back, who smiled back at her, while she fell asleep, her head on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto leaped up into her bedroom and put her down, kissing her forehead as he covered her with the blanket. He left quickly, and headed to talk to Sarutobi. He ignored the secretary, who still was mean to him, and walked into the office of the Hokage. He smiled and he said, "Hello, Sarutobi-san."
Sarutobi looked up from his work and smiled at Naruto, speaking, "Hello Naruto-kun, how are you?" Naruto said, "I am fine, but I don't like the Uchiha being on my team, he doesn't want to work with Sakura or me, at all." Sarutobi nodded and said, "I wish I had a way around it, Naruto-kun, but for now, you have to deal with it." Naruto nodded and looked at Sarutobi and noticed the crystal ball and his right eye twitched. Naruto spoke, "You were watching me and Sakura, Sarutobi?" Sarutobi chuckled and said, "Out of interest, you two are a very well deserved young couple." Naruto smiled and said, "Right, don't do it again, Old Man, or I'll unleash my Kage killing technique." He smirked as Sarutobi gulped and nodded, as Naruto left to get home.
Naruto crashed on the bed as he got home and smiled to himself.
'Mom, Dad, I will make you proud, I promise'
He didn't realize that blood red eyes were watching him that night, and in the middle of the night, the voice was talking to itself.
"So this is the Kyuubi Boy? Pein-sama and the others will be glad to hear this."
OOC:
Oh no, the Akatsuki are finally in the picture!
Okay, so some end notes.
Yes, Naruto does know water jutsus; yes he has a sword called Shiro Kitsune. Naruto is far more powerful then a genin his age. But trust me; he stands no chance yet against Akatsuki.
Also, what's the suffix for Old man, which many use? Ojii-san?
