Chapter 3
As the three Chunin stood there waiting for orders, Kakashi sat down and looked at them.
"So what is your goal for the next year Naruto?" Kakashi asked.
"Well I guess uh, no wait, umm, I don't really know; never thought about it. Normally we just take orders from you, so I just do what you say." The blonde boy said stupidly.
"Okay, Ino you're up next." Kakashi said looking straight at her.
"Well I plan to get stronger so that way I can help out with more than just being a lookout or a puppet master." Ino said her face flushing with pride.
"Then there was one." The Sensei said to Sakura
"Well I plan to get stronger also, but not for the reason Ino is but because I want someone to notice me. You know I just don't want to feel like I am invisible anymore." She said with a slight hint of sadness, and longing in her voice.
"Good, at least some of you are looking ahead, however I have some pressing news to tell you. The Jonin entrance exams are coming up and I think you three are ready for them. It will be ten times harder than the Chunin exams, but if you guys work together I am positive you will all make the cut." Kakashi looked them over before continuing. "You three need to be able to rely on each other with your lives. The test consists of a practical exam, where you will show the judges the jutsu they ask for and be graded accordingly. Also there will be a field exercise where you will each go with different Jonin squads and complete a B ranked mission. The last test is a team field exercise where you three as a squad and a Jonin proctor will go on a B ranked mission and complete it proficiently." Kakashi finally stopped talking and waited for their response.
"Wow you really think we can do it Sensei?" Naruto asked almost shaking from excitement.
"Yes Naruto, other wise I would not have said I think you're ready a minute ago." Kakashi said annoyed.
"Well I am ready, and I am sure that Sakura and Ino feel the same way." Said Naruto looking at them both.
"Hey, if Naruto has that much faith in me I'm ready too." Said Sakura, she looked over and smiled at Ino.
"If I don't go they'll probably end up dead so I have to go." Said Ino returning Sakura's smile.
"Good, I'll go and tell the Hokage you guys think you are ready and get you registered." Kakashi said. BOOM! Kakashi disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Well I am going home, I will see you later Sakura, and Ino want to come over for a bit?" Naruto asked innocently.
"Sure that sounds like fun." Ino said with a wink.
"They're going to go have sex." Sakura thought aloud as she watched them walk away.
