Yeah, so I think... the next chapter was entirely written by me. I'm not sure. I wrote this awhile ago. This one mainly belongs to Masashi Kishimoto.

Naruto peered from side to side out of the door into the hall. You all had been waiting for your new Sensei for a little while; all the other students had met their Sensei and left. "Cut it out, Naruto!" says Sakura angrily, looking at Naruto.

"Why are we the only cell…" Naruto states, "…Whose teacher hasn't shown up yet?! All the other teams have gone off with their teachers. Even Iruka-Sensei has gone!"

Sasuke spoke from his fingers, which were intertwined. "Hey!! What are you up to, Naruto?!!"

Naruto grabs an eraser and opens the door just a crack. He puts the eraser up near the top of the door. "Heh heh heh heh!" Naruto says. "It's what he gets for making us wait!!"

"Grow up!" says Sakura angrily.

You just watched them lazily, your eyes half-closed, and your feet up on the desk. You leaned back into the chair and fully closed your eyes.

"I want no part of it!" says Sakura. Inner Sakura: STUFF LIKE THIS IS THE BEST!

"Hmmf! No way could a superior shinobi be caught by such a simple booby trap!" states Naruto.

A single hand, it had a fingerless glove with a piece of metal on it, appears in the doorway. Sakura and Naruto look at the hand, while Sasuke just has on his 'I-don't-care' look. You were still lounging, and you opened your eyes a crack, but still closed enough for people to think that you had your eyes closed.

BAM! PLAF…

"HA HA HA HA!! GOTCHA! GOOD ONE!" laughed Naruto, pointing his finger at the silver-haired man who just walked through the door. He takes the eraser out of his hair and wipes it out.

"I'm sorry, Sensei. I tried to stop him, but Naruto…" says Sakura in a tiny voice.Inner Sakura: SET HIM UP AND KNOCK HIM DOWN! THAT WAS AWESOME!

So… this is our elite shinobi leader? He looks completely worthless! thinks Sasuke.

You laugh hysterically at the prank Naruto pulled on the silver haired man. You stop laughing and look at him straight in the eye and say, "Yo!" and then turn to Sakura and start to snap at her. "To hell that you tried to stop Naruto, Sakura-KUN. A dead rat that was left molding in the trash for ten years could have stopped him from doing that."

The silver-haired man put on his sweatdrop face and put his right hand up and scratched his chin. "Hmm… how shall I put this? Based on my first impression, I'd have to say… …I HATE YOU!!"

The other three rookies had dark blue lines appear on their foreheads, but you had your best goofy grin face. "Why the gloomy faces, Team 7? No need to be glum! Hard work brings about happiness!" you say cheerfully, getting out of your seat and taking a stand next to your sensei, and leaning on one leg with your arms crossed.

On top of a building was where you four and your sensei was explaining what you were to do next. "Now, I'd like you to tell us a little about yourselves." he says.

"Like what?" asks Naruto.

"…You know. The usual. Your favorite thing… what you hate most… dreams, ambitions, hobbies, things like that." he continued.

"Help us out here, coach. You go first. Show us how its done." said Naruto again.

"That's right… after all, you're a complete stranger to us… a mystery." added Sakura.

"Yeah… a mystery. Sakura-kun, why don't you just be a psychic and live in a tent?" you say, your voice thick with sarcasm, earning a glare from Sakura. The four of you were all sitting on the ground while your sensei was sitting on a chair.

"Oh… … me? My name is Hatake Kakashi. I'm the kind of person who doesn't feel like talking about his likes and dislikes! My dreams for the future are none of your business… but anyway, I have lots of hobbies…"

"Hey… he said a lot… …but all we really learned was his name!" pointed out Naruto.

"Now it's your turn. Starting with you on the right." said Kakashi.

"Me, right?! My name is Uzumaki Naruto! What I like us instant cup ramen! What I like even better is when Iruka-Sensei treats me to ramen at the Ichiraku Noodle Bar!! What I hate is the three minute wait after I pour in the boiling water. My dream is to one day…" started Naruto.

He appears to have nothing more on his mind than ramen… thought Kakashi.

You glance over at Naruto, who was sitting next to Sasuke, who was sitting next to Sakura. You sat on the other side of Naruto.

"… BE A BETTER SHINOBI THAN LORD HOKAGE!! And then all the villagers will have to acknowledge my existence at last!" continued Naruto.

Kakashi had a shocked look on his face and then thought Well, hasn't he turned out to be interesting… He took a glance at you and you gave him a little smile. You took out a kunai and started to twirl it in between your fingers. You took the ends of your hair and look at them closely. The little hairs had split ends, so you cut them off with the kunai.

"My hobbies are… pranks and practical jokes, I guess." finished Naruto.

I see… "Next!" thought and said Kakashi.

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are plenty of things that I hate, but I don't see that it matters, considering there is almost nothing I do like. It seems pointless to talk about 'dreams'… that's just a word… …but what I do have is determination. I plan to restore my clan. And there's someone I have sworn… …to kill." said Sasuke plainly.

He is so cool! thought Sakura.

Sure hope it's not me… thought Naruto.

I suspected as much… thought Kakashi before saying: "And the young lady with pink hair…"

"I am Haruno Sakura. My favorite thing is… well its not a thing, it's a person. A boy… and that is…Uh… lets move on to my dream." BLUSH! "I hate… …NARUTO! My hobbies are…"

It sounds as if young girls… …are more interested in love than ninjutsu… thinks Kakashi. "And finally, the girl blonde."

You look up, as you had been gazing out over the landscape. "My turn?" you were met with silence. "Fine. The name's Yamanaka Okami. You might know the name by my younger twin, Ino. But don't get us confused, because if you do," you pause, then say monotonously, "you'll be dead before you get the chance to utter one more last, pitiful breath." you pause again. "But anyway, I love fighting, getting into fights, things of that nature. I don't really know why my dreams concern you in the slightest, so I won't tell you. I love to train 24/7 if I get the chance to, so that's a hobby… yeah, I guess that's it about me." you finish, crossing your arms and staring at him.

"Enough. I believe we all understand one another. Formal training begins tomorrow."

Naruto does a salute and says: "YES, SIR! What will our duties be?! Our first real shinobi mission!"

Kakashi sighs and continues: "Our first project involves only the members of this cell."

Naruto was excited. "What? What is it?"

"Survival exercises."

Naruto had a big question mark on his head. "Survival exercises?"

"… … …"

"But why would that be a mission? Our school days were full of survival training!" exclaimed Sakura.

"But you'll have to survive… …against me. It won't be your typical practice."

went the students, other than you, you were sleeping."Well, then, what kind of practice will it be?" asked Naruto.

"… … SNURFF" snorted Kakashi.

"What are you laughing about, Kakashi-Sensei?" asked Sakura.

"Oh, nothing. It's just that… if I told you, you'd chicken out." Kakashi continued.

"Chicken out…? Why?!" demanded the blonde.

Why… you think, opening your eyes and looking at him, who was giving a tiny glare to Kakashi, why am I always stuck with the Loser-Squad? you look at your team. First of all, we have a pink-haired girl who cares nothing other than to get the attention of the emo Sake (pronounced: SAH – kay), and lastly I have to deal with this loudmouthed blonde! He gives us blondes a bad name! And Kakashi here doesn't seem too bad… You snap out of your trance-like state and come back to the present. But unfortunately for you, no time had passed to you heard Kakashi respond to Naruto:

"Of the twenty-eight members of your graduating class, only ten will actually be accepted as junior-level shinobi. The other eighteen must go back for more training. The test we are about to perform has a 66 rate of failure." Kakashi says in a monotone voice, trying to scare you four Genins. You just raised an eyebrow, and look at your teammates. Naruto had a shocked look on his face, Sakura and Sasuke had a tiny sweat drop forming on his head. "Ha ha ha! See? You're chickening out already!"

"… … …" went all four of you.

"THAT SUCKS!!! WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT ALL! WHAT ABOUT OUR GRADUATION TEST?" yelled Naruto, who was sizzling for some reason.

"Oh! We wanted to eliminate all the hopeless cases from your ranks. The ones who are left are the only students who show true potential." responds Kakashi in a bored voice.

"SAY WHAT?!!"

"In any event, we'll meet tomorrow morning on the practice field so that I can evaluate each of your skills and weaknesses. Bring all of your ninja tools and weapons. And don't have breakfast beforehand… unless you enjoy throwing up." finished Kakashi.

No way will I let this set me back. I'll kick Kakashi-Sensei's butt! THEN I'll get some respect! YEAH! thinks Naruto

"The details of your assignment are in this handout. Memorize it… …and don't be late!" stated Kakashi.

"Throw up? How hard is this exercise going to be?!" exclaimed Sakura hysterically. She grasped the paper that Kakashi gave the four of you tightly. I can't fail it! That would mean leaving Sasuke… This is like a test of my love!! she thinks desperately.

"… …" went Sasuke, crumpling up his paper and looking at the ground.

"Hmmmm…" went Naruto, his face just inches away from the paper. Aww, man! It's all in kanji!

You take a glance at your own paper, and just crumple it up like Sasuke had. This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of! Well… I guess that means more training tonight. you think, getting up and walking away, for Kakashi had already left to who-knows-where, and Sasuke was just about to leave as well. Naruto had already left, bouncing his way to Ichiraku Ramen. But you weren't looking where you were walking and bumped into someone. You mumble a "My bad," before looking to see who it was. "I take it back. I'm not sorry." You had run into Sasuke, and he was glaring at you.

"Watch it, freak." he says, his voice void of emotion.

"You'd better watch you're back… because I'll be chewing on it!" you growl at him, giving him a glare as you shove his shoulder with your own.

Sasuke glares at you while you walk away. Stupid Yamanaka.

At your house, Ino was bugging you on what Sasuke was doing. "Why would I care what the freak Sake was doing? I was too busy lounging around and not paying attention! What did you think I was going to do?" you growl at her. You were lounging on a couple of cushions in the main room.

"What?! How could you say such things about Sasuke-kun?! Can't you see the awesome-ness that is Sasuke-kun? He's just so cool, and hot, and so strong too…" Ino says, her annoying voice like daggers within your ears drums.

"It's bad enough that I have that annoying Sakura on my team! And I have to come home listening to you… that's like listening to the same annoying person 24/7! I can NEVER get any peace by myself!" you growl, shutting your eyes.

"But… Sasuke-kun is worth it…"

"I don't want to hear another DAMNED thing about Sake!" you growl again, taking out a kunai and flinging it at her. A loud THUNK was heard as the kunai collided with the wall, splintering it in a few places. A thin stream of Chakra was coming from the kunai.

THE NEXT DAY

The four of you had been waiting for Kakashi for at least two hours. Well, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, at least. You had purposefully woken up late, and took your time getting ready and taking a shower. So you were waiting for about a half an hour. When Kakashi finally showed up, Sakura and Naruto shouted, "YOU'RE LATE!!!"

You and Sasuke just crossed your arms and waited for them to stop yelling at Kakashi. "I've set this alarm to go off at noon." Kakashi starts, ignoring them and pressing the alarm button. "I have here two small bells," he says, holding up two said bells. "Your challenge is to steal these from me before the timer sounds. Anyone who fails… …doesn't get any lunch. Instead, you will be tied to that tree stump, so I can eat your lunch in front of you."

So that's why you wanted us to go without breakfast! thought Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke miserably. You laugh at their miserable-ness and earn yourself a glare from Sasuke, and loud grumble from Naruto's stomach, and a glare from Sakura. "What? Am I the only smart one here who bothered to eat? And sleep in a little?"

"All you need is just one bell… apiece." Kakashi says, ignoring the comment you made about breakfast. "But since there aren't enough to go around, two of you are definitely headed for the stump. …And whoever that is will be the fist and second of you to fail. Two of you are on your way back to school… and disgrace. You may, if you choose, use shuriken. Attack as though you mean to kill or you'll never stand a chance."

"But… but that's so DANGEROUS!" exclaimed Sakura.

"You couldn't even dodge an eraser!! You're gonna get yourself killed!" says Naruto.

Must you talk so big? "Only the weak speak loudly. Now, let us forget the idiot, and we'll start on my signal!" says Kakashi.

"Arrg!" Naruto gets a really big anime vein while he thinks: Idiot… idiot… idiot… idiot! IDIOT! Naruto then takes out a kunai from his kunai pouch and twirls it around. It then fits perfectly in his hand while he rushes forward to throw the kunai at your silver-haired Sensei.

You watch Naruto as he gets pissed and tries to kill Kakashi by rushing at him with a kunai. Within the blink of an eye, however, Kakashi somehow managed to get behind Naruto and hold his arm, so that the kunai is pointed at the back of said person's head.

"Not so fast." Kakashi says calmly. "I didn't say 'Go'."

Wow…! I didn't even see him move! thought Sakura, impressed

So this is an elite shinobi… thought Sasuke.

"But at least you struck to kill… So, it seems you've begun to respect me. Heh-heh-heh… Maybe… just maybe… I'm starting to like you four. … And now… Ready… …steady… GO!!!"

The five of you all jump off into different directions, not knowing when or where or how you all would meet… if even you four Genins did manage to get a bell.
