Okay, so I WROTE THIS ALL BY MYSELF! I am so happy. No copyright infringement here, no sir! Everything Naruto-related is owned by Masashi Kishimoto.


You immediately jump into the tree that is right near where Kakashi is standing. "You're going down, old man!" you say as you jump out, and try to kick him in the face. To your surprise, you kick him, or do you? A loud POOF! tells you that you had actually kicked a wooden log. Damn Kakashi You look around and you see Sasuke hiding in the bushes. I've got it! Kakashi only has two bells, so the only way we can get them is if we… team up! Oh yeah! I'm so smart! you think happily. You jump over to him. "Sasuke," you say, catching your breath. "Sasuke, the only way --"

"Get out of here, loser. I don't need help." he says coldly.

"The only way we can get those bells is if we --"

"Shut it, loser. Kakashi will notice us and then it'll be your fault!" he says as he glares at you.

"Fine, but if I get a bell…" you threaten, glaring back at him, before jumping away. Stupid SasukeKakashi wants us to work as a team to get his bells! Maybe Sakura is smart enough to listen… And you proceed to find Sakura. You find her not too far away, but far away enough so that you would have to search for her. You find her in the trees, and you say to her: "Sakura! I figured out how we can get the bells!"

"Move it! I need to find Sasuke-kun…" she says, ignoring your statement completely. She pushes past you and continues on her search for the raven-haired boy.

Fine… if they won't listen, I'll try to get it myself! And it's too late to find Naruto you think as you jump through the trees yet again.

You find yourself in a clearing and as soon as you start to get out of there, Kakashi appears in front of you. "Yo," he says, looking at your face, as he had gotten you off guard. You kick at him, and he grabs your foot. You smirk at him, then bring up and twist your body around so you can punch him. He blocks that one too. But before he could do anything, another you comes behind him! He glances at it, and his eyes get wide, and you take this opportunity to use your other hand. You reach up, and grasp a bell as Kakashi POOFs away a second later.

"Did I really… get a bell?" you ask yourself, and looking at your clenched hand. You slowly open it, and inside, it revealed a small, golden bell. "I… did it?" you say, your voice filled with disbelief. A bell rings in the distance, and you run towards the wooden logs that was your meeting spot.

To your surprise, Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi were already there, waiting for you. Naruto was tied to one of the logs and was looking quite mad. Sakura and Sasuke were sitting on either side of Naruto's log, and Kakashi was standing in front of them.

"It's about time you got here, Okami." says Kakashi calmly. "Would you be so kind as to show the others what you have there in your hand?" he says as you walk over and sit down next to Sasuke, earning a glare from him.

"Well…" you say, as you slowly open your hand to reveal the bell. Sakura's and Naruto's eyes get wide as they see the bell gleaming in the sun. "I didn't think that I could have been fast enough to get this bell. I thought Kakashi…" you say as you look at him, "I thought you could have been a clone, and hidden the real bells whilst we were fighting. I guess I was wrong."

"That would have been a good idea," he starts, nodding. "If the ones who I were fighting against were more than just Genin. Now," he says, looking at Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto. "I watched the four of you closely during our fight and I noticed one thing: only one of you bothered to do one important thing. Okami, I think you should tell them what it was."

"Oh! I tried to get some of you to help me… I'm sorry, Naruto, but I couldn't get to you in time."

"Exactly. She was the only one to get help from others. How else did you think the four of you were going to get two bells? First, she came to you, Sasuke. Not only did you deny her the right to tell you what would get you a bell, but you also didn't let her help you, as you thought she would get in the way. And you, Sakura, who was focused on not the fight, but on finding Sasuke. You, too, denied her to tell you what would get you a bell. You should be ashamed to even call yourselves shinobi. In fact, you don't even have to worry about going back to the Ninja academy."

"What?" asked Sakura. "We pass?"

"Yippee!" says Naruto happily.

"…because neither one of you, except probably Okami, is capable of being a shinobi." finished Kakashi. That being said, Kakashi POOFs away, but not before saying, "And no one is to feed Naruto. If he intends to cheat, then he should not get any lunch."

Sasuke, Sakura, and you then grab for your lunch boxes. You and Sasuke reach for the same box, and you both glare at each other when your hands touch, Sasuke's hand on yours. "Oh, no, this one's mine." you growl at him, your glare unwavering. Sasuke sighs and reaches for another box, but not before glaring at you the whole time. Sakura gives you an evil glare, as she saw the lunch box incident.

Naruto's stomach gave a huge grumble and he sighed sadly. With your chopsticks halfway to your mouth with rice, you sigh and set the chopsticks down. You then hand over your box to Naruto. "Here, Naruto. Have my rice. You need it more than I do." Naruto had anime tears in his eyes at the sight of you handing him your rice. Sasuke saw you do this and he, too, sighed and handed over his rice. Sakura's eyes got even wider when she saw the both of you handing over your rice to Naruto. She then followed suit and thrust out her box.

Kakashi appeared and his head was anime huge. "YOU ALL… …PASS!" he says menacingly.

"Wh-what? But we gave Naruto lunch!" inquired Sakura.

"That's the point. All this time, you were listening to every single word I've said, like mindless little drones. Just being a shinobi doesn't mean that you follow every single rule. And that's why you pass."

"So… choosing our friends over our mission, for the better, is that why we pass?" you ask inquisitively.

"Hai."

You eagerly get up and hug Kakashi tightly. Tears of happiness roll down your cheeks as you bury your face into his vest. Kakashi gets a sweat drop as you let go of him and wipe off your tears. "Umm… sorry about that. Oh, Kakashi, when do we get our hitai-ates?"

"Oh! I almost forgot… I have here, four Konoha hitai-ates, and you can put them anywhere you'd like, as long as you proudly wear it, as shinobi of Konoha!" saying so, he takes out four hitai-ates. Sasuke and Naruto put theirs around their foreheads, Sakura uses hers as a headband, and you put yours around your waist, just at the tip of your crimson skirt.
