As days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, soon enough the majority of the six months had passed. As a matter of fact, they young ninja-to-be were to graduate in exactly a month. Sakura, the new girl of the class, soon became the top of the crop, sharing the top spot with Uchiha Sasuke; a young boy of a few words; a young boy with a face and body composition to melt the heart of nearly any girl; a young boy with a heart that was colder than ice.
Currently, Iruka, the teacher was out, on something like one would call a mission. Inside the class room, the students were running around, talking, doing the most random of things you'd expect young children to be doing at their age.
Although the most of the class was 'busy' with their 'oh-so-quiet' activities, others actually preferred to stay quiet, and get on with something more useful. You know, like study or some how sharpen their kunai. Or even sleep. Although, with this much noise, the first and third option was almost impossible, and yet some how the pineapple haired boy slept and the pink haired girl, the one we know as Sakura, studied.
Sasuke, though, not obvious to any one around him, except maybe the very observant ones, which by the way weren't many, noticed the pink haired student, once again studying. How he for some reason despised her. She wasn't a fan girl, she didn't talk much, yet some how, she managed to annoy the shit out of him. He was supposed to be the only one who was at the top of the class, yet here she was sharing the top spot with him. 'Curse her!'
Although, it would be kind of expected that she was at the top with him, she studied like mad, aced every test, and seemed to be almost perfect at performing high-level genjutsu, perfect ninjutsu and amazingly strong taijutsu. It seemed like she worked hard to achieve what she had at her age, yet unlike her, Sasuke managed to know most of these things they were being taught. After all, he was an Uchiha prodigy. So he had to give her some credit for meeting his standards, yet not as effortlessly as he. She had also adopted the name 'Forehead-girl' from almost all the girls around, while he was granted the title of 'Cold-hearted-bastard-heart-throb' by a majority of the guys.
Like he, as soon as the chime for home went out, she was no where to be seen, probably studying or something. During lunch and recess breaks she would sit alone at the beginning. The one after another she was passed around the playground by different groups like a packet of chips at a party. She went from popular to geeks, to morons, to bastards to wannabes and back; although, she seemed more content staying where she was under a cherry blossom tree before being dragged away by another group. Some how escaping before they noticed she was even gone.
"But Iruka-sensei, (1) I did nothing wrong!" a voice complained, silencing the entire class in a matter of seconds. Soon in came the blonde haired boy dragged by the teacher; Naruto and Iruka.
"You graphitized the Hokage monument!" Iruka scolded making sure he wasn't going to be escaping any time soon.
"It didn't graffiti it, I was simply giving it more colour, it's such a boring monument, all earth colours" Naruto retorted. The class snickering at Naruto's reply.
"You graphitized it, and you know it. Now class because of Naruto's mishap, we are going to be re-doing the "henge no Jutsu" (2) Technique" Iruka informed. Soon a chorus of moans and groans were heard from the class of to-be-ninja. Slowly the students dragged themselves to the front of the class and lined up to show Iruka that they could do the 'henge no jutsu'.
"This is your entire fault Naruto; we always pay for the trouble you cause" Ino scolded. A sigh was heard coming from the pineapple boy as the line moved forward.
It was the pink haired girl's turn. She moved in front of the line, putting her hands into the seal of the tiger.
"Henge" Sakura whispered. Soon a cloud of smoke erupted from her, almost as quickly the smoke cleared and you could see that she made a perfect transformation of Iruka.
"Well done Sakura" Iruka complimented. The Iruka copy nodded and dispelled the jutsu, transforming Sakura back to her self. Moving to the side, the line moved forward and Uchiha Sasuke moved forward, repeating the same action as the cherry blossom. After receiving a sign of approval from Iruka, Sasuke also dispelled his transformation, and the line of kids continued its way.
Soon it was Naruto's turn. Stepping forth, like the rest, Naruto took his stance with his hands in the seal of the tiger.
"Henge" Naruto shouted. As the cloud of smoke erupted from Naruto being, it almost instantly rose from the being to reveal, to totally nude, blonde haired blue eyed girl with 3 whiskers on each cheek. Her hair was in two pony tails on each side.
Immediately after the showing of this young, nude, and perfectly shaped girl, Iruka had blood pouring out of his nose, like any other normal guy would, and like most of the young boys in Naruto's class as well.
"Naruto!" Iruka yelled "Do it properly!" He yelled again after plugging his bleeding nose with tissues.
"Yea, yea" Naruto muttered after his dispelled the transformation.
"Henge" Naruto shouted again, this time revealing a rather comical looking Iruka.
"Naruto!" Iruka yelled again. Naruto muttered something incomprehensible and walked off.
--
A month later, the majority of the class was finally to the stage of graduating. They had been officially told that they would graduate the previous day and they were supposed to return the next day to be told their teams.
--
In an apartment building somewhere, a young boy by the name of Naruto was finally getting up and getting dressed for graduation, as sunlight poured into the small building. Boiling water, he poured the hot water into an instant ramen cup and waited three minutes for the ramen to cook.
Still half asleep in his bed t-shirt and pants and sleeping cap to the side of his head; he started slurping the noodles with his chopsticks in hand; Naruto occasionally paused to drink from a carton of milk… a carton of off milk…without realizing it.
After finishing his breakfast, and waking up properly, Naruto got changed and ran to the ninja academy, like Iruka-sensei told him to.
--
Somewhere, a bit further off and earlier, the young Uchiha got up and got dressed, wide awake. The building which he was currently in was quiet, it was never a home anymore; it was merely a house ever since that incident. Curtains blocked out sunlight, windows shut off access to fresh air. It was somewhat stale, yet the Uchiha didn't notice much. It seemed he was hardly here anyway.
Stepping out of the house, and walking out of the Uchiha District, Sasuke made his way to the academy, not that he really wanted to be there, it's just, at least for a while he would get some piece and quiet, something he wouldn't get with the fangirls all around.
Around one building passed another, across one bridge, down one street, over another building through a couple of trees, Sasuke made it to the academy. Walking up to room 201, meaning second level, room one Sasuke opened the door expecting to find no life forms in the classroom, however much to his dismay, there was another being, Sakura.
Sakura was sitting in the third row of seats, closest to the window. Sasuke scowled, that was where he sat. Well, it wasn't like there were set seats, but everyone knew that was his seat. No one sat there except him! Being here for only six months is no excuse either, it would be kind of obvious that he always sat there.
Stalking to over where Sakura was sitting he was tempted to tell her to bugger off and find another seat, but decided to just sit next to her. She appeared to be reading some book, some really big book; a really large book, to be exact. The text was tiny as well, something you'd need to read with a magnifying glass, or at least glasses.
Sasuke twitched. What kind of twit would bring that monstrosity of a book to school? That thing must weigh a tone, and it'd be pointless to bring anyway. The pink haired girl seemed to be very intrigued by the book, so much that she didn't acknowledge Sasuke's appearance in the room, like the majority of girls in this god damn class would.
The constant turning of a page every few minutes was the only sound made in the class room as Sasuke glared down at the black board with closed eyes.
A little while later, the sound of people shuffling into the room as well as the murmurs from students could be heard through the room. The page turning had become faster, and the voices grew louder and louder, only to irritate the young Uchiha. Though the Uchiha wanted to know the source of these annoyingly high-pitched voices, he resisted the urge to open his eyes and check, for the fear that his suspicions would be correct and that the voices were from at least half his fangirls/obsessive stalkers. Although, the "Sasuke-kun" this and "Sasuke-kun" that kind of gave away it was the fangirls. Sighing irritably, he heard another high toned voice, although, it wasn't exactly female, and it wasn't exactly high-pitched as one would call it. One would just call it loud and irritating. Uzamaki Naruto, he is the only one with that kind of voice.
"Sakura-chan Konnichiwa!" Naruto waved running up to Sakura. "Ready to graduate and become genin Sakura-chan?" Naruto yelled enthusiastically. No answer; it was obvious that the book seemed more interesting than Naruto. Sasuke inwardly chuckled, a book more interesting than Naruto, well, no one ever said that being interesting was a good thing.
Sakura continued to turn the page as Naruto pouted at Sakura's ignorance to him.
"Sakura-chan Konnichiwa!" Naruto repeated waving his hand under Sakura's nose. Irritated that a hand was blocking her view from the page, the cherry blossom swatted Naruto's hand from her vision.
"Sakura-chan!!!" Naruto wailed loudly, getting the attention of some of the class, some of that portion being the fangirls.
"FOREHEAD-GIRL!!! Get away from Sasuke-kun! I am sitting THERE!!!" A gobble of girls shouted running towards the pink haired girl, who was still reading.
"Move!" Ino yelled. Sakura turned a page.
"Move your big ass forehead Forehead-girl!" Ino screeched again. Another page was turned. Ino, along with every other girl fumed. Sakura's nose was in a book, and she was ignoring people who were never ignored. Another page turned.
Getting really irritated Ino stormed up to the desk and slapped Sakura. The sound of hand on cheek echoed through the class. The class grew silent. Sakura looked up to Ino and glared, then stood up and picked her book and bag up, prepared to move; grumbling about how she couldn't just sit down and ready without being disturbed. Taking one step away from the desk, Sakura felt herself being pulled back by something on her wrist. Sasuke was holding her from going any where.
Looking into Sasuke's eye, she realized he was practically begging for her to stay and sit, understanding what he was asking, Sakura sighed heavily and placed her stuff back down. Opening her book back up, the coral haired girl continued from where she left off in her book. Chapter 31, page 405 of 70 chapters and 10000 pages. Pretty far, considering she had just started the book about twenty minutes before Sasuke came into the classroom.
"I said MOVE!!" Ino and the other girls shouted again. The rest of the class sighing at this scene. Sakura stood up again, this time without packing up her gear.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Can't I just do a little light reading in peace"- the class choked at the thought that what Sakura was reading was something 'light' "-I was here first; if you want to sit next to Sasuke, get him to move!" Sakura bellowed, pointing to the said Uchiha and sat down again, grumbling and muttering a string of colourful words.
Just then Naruto jumped onto the desk in front of Sasuke. 'What do people see in him? He's not so great' Naruto thought glaring at the Uchiha lad, who was glaring back. The two remained in this position until a boy in the front row 'accidentally' bumped Naruto, causing the blonde-haired nin-to-be fall down, with his lips crashing down into Sasuke's. The second the two locked lips, they retracted, gagging in an attempt to remove whatever taste the other left in their mouth.
The feeling that death was soon to come came to the blonde haired boy from behind him; murderous glares could be felt from the Sasuke fangirls behind him.
"Naruto, you are so DEAD" Ino yelled before launching herself, along with the other girls, at Naruto. Suddenly an eruption of muffled giggling and laughing came from the right of Sasuke.
Sakura was trying to hold in the urge to laugh at the scene that just happened, and practically failing, before actually failing. Sakura was laughing so hard that she was holding her stomach. Trying to regain her composure, she slowly sat up properly before facing the attacking mid-way fangirls.
"Leave Naruto alone. It has been a long time since I laughed that hard" Sakura giggling still, and then sent a glare that could kill to the girls, which sent them away.
"Sakura-chan, it's not funny" Naruto whined as Sasuke sent her a death glare.
As Naruto sat down next to Sasuke, unwillingly, Iruka came in with a piece of paper; Sakura presumed that it would be a list of all the genin teams.
"Today, you will found out your genin (3) teams. Each squad is a team of three, with two males and one female each assigned with a jounin (4)" Iruka explained.
"First up. Team Seven; Uzamaki Naruto, Sakura and" Iruka paused for a moment "Uchiha Sasuke assigned to Hatake Kakashi" Iruka announced.
A series of wails could be heard from Naruto as well as every fangirl in the class.
"Iruka-sensei, why should a great ninja like me, paired up with a stupid-ass ninja like Sasuke-teme" Naruto complained aloud.
"Because Naruto, Sasuke scored the top of the class with Sakura, unlike you, who scored dead last" Iruka smirked. Naruto 'hmphed' and sat back down, mumbling profanities.
"Okay next, team 8; Aburame Shino, Inuzuka Kiba and Hyuuga Hinata assigned to jounin Yuuhi Kurenai" Iruka announced.
"Team 10; Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Chouji and Yamanaka Ino assigned to jounin Sarutobi Asuma" Iruka continued to call out a few other teams before making his final announcement.
"You will be going out to lunch next, after lunch please return to this room so you may meet your jounin instructor"
Suddenly Naruto rushed out of the classroom, yelling something about going to the bathroom really quick.
--
Three Hours after lunch ended…
"Where the heck is our sensei?" Naruto screeched impatiently.
'Stupid jounin' Sasuke thought
"Hatake Kakashi. The Copy Nin, copied over 1000 jutsus, and former ANBU. He definitely lives up to his reputation" Sakura muttered, only loud enough for Sasuke to hear.
"Hn" he muttered back. Suddenly Naruto yelled in frustration and ran over to the black board where a lone chalk eraser lay. Picking the item up, the blonde prankster ran over to the door and stood on a stool, fixing the eraser in between the gap of the sliding door and door frame.
"I'm not going to even ask" Sakura muttered, continuing to read the book in front of her. Sasuke nodding in agreement, but couldn't help make a comment.
"There is no way a jounin is going to fall for such an obvious trap" Sasuke pointed out, this time Sakura nodding in agreement.
"Well, we'll see. That's what he gets from being late" Naruto retorted.
Suddenly the door opened a bit and the duster came falling to the ground, landing on a grey haired man, whose face, except one eye was covered by a mask.
"My first impression of you guys" the man paused for a moment "I hate you" Sasuke and Naruto sweatdropped while Sakura continued to read.
'He can't seriously be a jounin can he?' Sasuke questioned.
"Right, let's go to the roof top for introductions" the man motioned as he walked out of the classroom.
"Hai" Naruto nodded as he folded his arms behind his head and walked behind the teacher. Sasuke stood up at the same time and shoved his hands into his pockets to be followed by Sakura, who picked up her bag and walked out, continuing to read the text in front of her.
On the rooftop…
"Okay, let's start with introductions" the man asked.
"What do we say?" Naruto asked.
"Your name, thing you like, things you don't, your hobbies, your dreams, you know stuff like that" the grey haired man listed.
"Then why don't you show us how to do it sensei" Naruto asked.
"Eh? Me?" Naruto and Sasuke nodded, Sakura still reading her book. "Okay, my name is Hatake Kakashi, err…my likes and dislikes, I don't feel like telling you that, my dreams and aspirations, are nothing special, and my hobbies, well, I have lots of hobbies" Kakashi introduced.
"Eh? That's all?" Naruto exclaimed. Kakashi nodded. Sakura put her book down for a moment.
"Not really, I could think of more things you could say" Sakura voiced bored.
"Like what?"
"Hatake Kakashi, the man who has copied over 1000 jutsus and know as the Copy Nin and once a former ANBU also known for one other thing, but I think I shouldn't tell these guys about it, they'll find out about it themselves" Sakura smirked and continued to read.
"It seems you know a lot about me already" Kakashi nodded. "Alright, you the blonde next"
"My name is Uzamaki Naruto. I like instant ramen (5) in a cup, but I hate to wait the three minutes I have to wait after I put the water into it. I especially like the ramen that Iruka-sensei got me at the Ichiraku Ramen stand. My hobbies include eating and comparing ramen cups. And my future dream is to be the greatest Hokage (6) that ever lived" Naruto grinned.
'What an odd boy'
"Next" Kakashi said.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I don't like many things and I dislike a lot of things. I wouldn't call what I want to do a dream, because I will make it a reality. I will revive my clan and kill a certain someone" Sasuke spoke darkly.
'I hope he isn't talking about me' Naruto shuddered unconciously.
'So what they say about him is true'
"Next" Kakashi ordered. Sakura put down her book, seeing as it was her turn to talk.
"Sakura, likes; this book dislikes; when I finish this book" All three sweatdropped "Hobbies; not many hobbies, dreams: I had this one dream about a cat getting stuck in a tree…but I don't think that's relevant do you?" Sakura smiled, again causing the males to sweat drop.
'Interesting girl…Most girl's would be interested in boys, yet here she is reading'
"Right, so our first mission will be survival training" Kakashi informed.
"But Kakashi-sensei, we already did that in the academy" Naruto complained; Sasuke and Sakura nodding along with him. Kakashi suddenly chuckled at the newly promoted genin.
"What's so funny Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked; Sasuke and Sakura nodding again.
"Well, you see, out of the 27 students who graduated, only 9 will become fully-fledge ninja" Kakashi smirked…well what you would assume was a smirk, that or a very wicked smile.
"NANI?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? (7)" Naruto exclaimed.
"It's true" Kakashi smiled.
"Then, what was the point of going to the academy?" Naruto asked.
"Going to the academy was merely a way to select candidates for people to become ninja" Kakashi explained.
"So basically it was a test to see who could become a ninja?" Sakura asked, although it more a statement than a question.
"Yup! Spot on! Well, anyway meet at the training area with the three stumps tomorrow morning at five sharp, Oh and don't eat breakfast, you'll throw it all up if you do" Kakashi 'poofed' out of the area, presumably doing what jounins/perverts like him do.
"Well that was interesting" Sakura mumbled, Sasuke and Naruto nodded in agreement. "Anyway, I'm off, Ja" Sakura waved with her back to the boys.
"Matte! (8) Sakura-chan, let's go out for ramen" Naruto yelled trying to catch up with the pink haired nin.
"No thanks Naruto, why don't you go with Sasuke?" Sakura suggested pointing to the black haired nin, who almost escaped. Scowling, Sasuke turned around and glared at Sakura for suggesting such a stupid thing. 'Going with Naruto for ramen? That is a concoction for no good waiting to happen' Sasuke thought.
"I don't want to go out with teme for ramen, that'd make me look gay like him" Naruto retorted. Sasuke scowled again. 'Me? Gay? As if! It's more like you who is gay!'
"How would you know if Sasuke is gay anyway Naruto?" Sakura snickered Sasuke and Naruto's eyes became wide.
"Sakura-chan!!!" Naruto whined, not realizing Sakura had made her escape. "Eh? Sakura-chan?" Naruto blinked. "When did Sakura leave Sasuke-teme" Naruto asked turning to where Sasuke was…well was supposed to be. 'Damn they both disappeared" Naruto grumbled.
--
The next morning…
By five o'clock Sasuke had made his way to the training grounds Kakashi talked about to find that Sakura was already there, throwing kunai at some targets. She seemed focused on her target practice, like Itachi was one day when Sasuke happened to stumble across Itachi training when he was younger.
Noticing the presence of one of her team mates near her, Sakura stopped and greeted Sasuke, having a nod in return. Deciding it was better to save her energy; Sakura picked up her kunai from various targets then sat down with Sasuke.
"You know Sasuke" Sakura started off "The survival training, what do you reckon is going to be in it?"
"Hn"
"Ahh…the ancient language of the grunts" Sakura mumbled quietly. Sasuke scoffed at that thought.
Half an hour later…
"Morning Sakura-chan, Sasuke-teme" Naruto yelled running up to them, clearly forgetting he had to be here half an hour ago.
"Hn"
"Aa"
Both Sakura and Sasuke were leaning against a tree, utterly bored to death, and some what in there own world. Naruto being the oblivious one he was didn't notice the fact that Kakashi had yet to come, or the annoyed expressions on both of his team mates faces, directed towards him for talking about what ramen he had the night before.
Six hours later…
Naruto had stopped talking about Naruto and followed Sakura and Sasuke's example by sitting down and leaning against the tree an hour after he arrived.
Suddenly a poof sound could be heard as a figure made their way towards the genin, the figure of Kakashi, to be more specific.
"Good morning my little ninja-wannabes" Kakashi chirped.
"YOU'RE LATE!!!!" Naruto yelled, scarring of a few birds that were in neighbouring trees.
"You well, you see, I was helping an obaa-san (9) cross the road and carry her groceries to her home, which is on the other side of the town" Kakashi explained.
"Who the hell would be up at five in morning with groceries when the stores aren't even open then?" Sakura glared. Kakashi sweatdropped.
"Never mind, can we please get on with this survival training?" Sakura sighed irritably. Kakashi nodded.
"Okay the aim of this training is for you to get these bells" Kakashi said holding up to bells tied together with string "Before noon, whoever doesn't get a bell, doesn't get lunch and will be tied up to the stump while you watch me eat my lunch"
'No wonder he told us not to eat breakfast" Naruto and Sasuke glared.
"But Kakashi-sensei, there is only two bells, how can we all get a bell?" Naruto asked.
"Exactly, now, come at me whenever you want in three, two, one-" Naruto interrupted him.
"I'm going to get one of those bells, believe it!"
"The one to talk the loudest; usually ends up dead last" Kakashi mocked.
"Grr! I'll show you dead last!" Naruto growled running up to Kakashi with a kunai in his hand. Kakashi swiftly and quickly captured Naruto pinning his hand with the kunai to his back.
"Good, you're coming at me with an intention to kill" Kakashi smiled "Now, begin!"
In an instant all the genin disappeared and masked their chakra.
'Good they all seemed to be good at hiding and have masked their chakra-' Kakashi analyzed.
…Well, most of the genin did.
"Kakashi face me and fight me" Naruto yelled from a wood stump in front of Kakashi, who starred at him incredulously.
"You're a little off" Kakashi commented.
"The only thing off here is your hair style" Naruto shouted as he charged towards the jounin, who blocked the blonde's attack.
"Let me teach the basics formations of jutsus" Kakashi offered. "First up, taijutsu (11)" With that said, Kakashi reached into one of his vest pockets and pulled out-
'I thought taijutsu was hand to hand combat, and yet he is pulling out a weapon-'
-And pulled out an orange novel with a red circle with a red line through it on the back.
"Eh? Kakashi-sensei, why'd you pull out a book?" Naruto asked.
"Because I want to know what happens next" Kakashi said matter-of-factly
With Sakura…And Sasuke who is in a separate location…
'Pervert'
Back with Naruto and Kakashi…
"Grr….Take me seriously!!" Naruto shouted lunging himself towards the reading jounin.
With Sakura…
'This is probably an exercise to get us to work as a team'
'No shit!'
'Oh shit, you're back, how'd you get of the little unbreakable, undestroyable jar?
'With a lot of difficulty'
'Need to find Sasuke, get him to cooperate with me to get the bells, now bye and get lost'
Sakura began jumping through the trees in search of Sasuke. Trying to sense the boy's chakra, Sakura honed in on it and found out that he was in a tree just above the Naruto and Kakashi scene, only a few meters away. Turning back in the direction she came from a mere second ago, Sakura found Sasuke in the said tree. Just as she was about to speak, Sasuke set off a trap with sent a heap of shuriken and kunai to the unsuspecting jounin, hitting him right in his side.
'Shit' Sakura thought. Sakura quickly grabbed a hold of Sasuke and another hand over his mouth before dragging him away to another location. Behind them they could here Naruto yelling to Sasuke about going over the top, but then realized he did a replacement technique, to be more specific, the kawarimi no jutsu (12).
"Now listen here and listen good Sasuke, as soon as I let go of your mouth, don't go screaming 'what the hell was that for?' simply because it'd give away our position, got it?" Sakura demanded, Sasuke nodding to show he understood.
"Good" Sakura released her hand off Sasuke's mouth, and then put her finger in front of her mouth to tell him to shut up.
"Now Sasuke, I know you want to do this alone and all that shit, but the aim of this exercise is teamwork. We need to work as a team to get those bells and pass" Sakura informed. Sasuke nodded.
"Now I am thinking a simple ambush on Kakashi, me first then you. Naruto is already acting a distraction in his idiocy, use that as the first distraction, then I'll come in, distract him even more in a genjutsu (13) , and that's when you take the bells. Got it?" Sakura ordered.
"Hn"
"I'll take that as a yes, now separate before he catches us and commence the plan in five minutes" Sakura disappeared from sight and went looking for Kakashi.
At opposite ends of the training area, Sakura could see Sasuke, which both could see that Kakashi was toying with Naruto. Sakura, nodded to Sasuke, telling him to start the plan.
Jumping forward slightly to get in range of Kakashi, Sakura began with the rat hand seal, and did the Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu(14)
A circle of leaves began tornado-ing around Kakashi and Naruto, it seemed some what normal. Suddenly horrific images of people in the town dying appeared in the training grounds leaving a shocked Kakashi and Naruto. It was about five minutes after the genjutsu began that Kakashi realized he was caught in the genjutsu and formed the seal of the tiger in his hands to undo the illusion.
"Kai (15)" He shouted.
The genjutsu dispersed to reveal Sasuke and Sakura standing together each with a bell, high-fiving each other in their achievement.
"Well, I see you two got the bells" Kakashi smiled, a few seconds later, the alarm bell for lunch went off. "-And before lunch too, well done" Kakashi congratulated. Sasuke and Sakura nodded, moving over to the stumps and sat down.
A few minutes later, a screaming Naruto could be heard from the middle wood stump.
"Why am I the only one who is tied up?!" Naruto yelled at Kakashi, struggling to get out of his little predicament.
"Because you cheated and besides, you didn't get a bell" Kakashi replied.
FLASH BACK…
Some thing in the near by tree glistened, it was one of the bells.
"Eh Kakashi-sensei dropped one of the bells? Hehehe" Naruto thought cheekily as he ran over and picked up the bells. Suddenly the blonde was pulled up to the tree by his feet; he was caught in a trap.
"Naruto, don't fall such an obvious trap!" Kakashi lectured, who was suddenly attacked by a barrage of kunai and shuriken. Suddenly a 'poof' sound was made to reveal that Kakashi did the kawarimi no jutsu with a log.
Kakashi went in search of Sasuke who had just attacked him. Running through the bushes, Kakashi realized he wasn't going to find him any time soon, so he decided to go and annoy Naruto a bit more.
Back with Naruto…
The blonde boy came across what appeared to be the bento, thinking that the best thing to do was eat lunch now instead of later, when he might not get lunch, Naruto ran over to the lunch and was about to start eating.
"Hehe, Kakashi-sensei didn't say we couldn't eat lunch now" Naruto snickered.
"You know, you really should wait for later" Kakashi commented, above Naruto.
"Eh….eh..he? I didn't mean it Kakashi-sensei" Naruto explained.
…END FLASH BACK
"I didn't cheat! You never said we couldn't eat lunch during the test!" Naruto cried.
'Baka' Sakura and Sasuke smirked.
"One would assume what I meant" Kakashi smirked.
"Hmph!"
"However, Sakura, when you did the Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu, did you forget that Naruto was with me as well? You're supposed to help your team mates not scare them" Kakashi frowned.
"I didn't forget, I just thought Naruto would have more sense to realize the genjutsu, guess I was wrong" Sakura shrugged.
"In any sense, care to explain how you and Sasuke got the bells?" Kakashi asked.
"Your turn Sasuke" Sakura mouthed.
"Hn" Sasuke grunted. Realizing he wasn't going to say anything, Sakura answered.
"Teamwork" Sakura said.
"Good, and how did you use teamwork to help you?" Kakashi asked.
"Well…while Naruto was oh-so-expertly distracting you, I did the genjutsu, while Sasuke got the bells, so we worked together to get the bells, almost if it appeared that Naruto was trying to do it all by his self" Sakura explained.
"So you're saying that Naruto's idiocy was faked?" Kakashi asked dumbfounded.
"No, we just worked with it" Sasuke explained.
"Aah, I see" Kakashi sweatdropped. "Well in any case, you guys pass, well done" Kakashi smiled as Sakura, Sasuke and himself walked off, leaving Naruto on the stump.
"Hey, hey, matte! Untie me damn it! Kuso (16)! I knew they'd do this" Naruto cursed as he watched the three walk off.
