(Flashback Training Ground 7 at 7:45am)
We see our favorite team seating under the shade of a large tree, waiting for their late sensei. All three of them were not happy so the air was awkwardly silent between them. Sasuke didn't want to wait anymore, Sakura wanted to strangle Kakashi and Naruto was brooding but very tired.
Sakura couldn't take it anymore, she was getting annoyed of the silence and decided to ask. "Hey guys, what do you think this test is going to consist of anyway?" she said loudly trying to spark up conversation.
Sasuke looked at her and looked away pondering about this question. If it was any other time, he would've ignored his crazy fangirls question, but since he was bored and had nothing else to do he thought, 'what the hell'. "Well Sakura, he's a Jonin—" "No shit Sherlock," interrupted Naruto.
"Let me finish!" Sasuke said growing irritated again. "He's Jonin, so we can't underestimate him if we want those bells." "Besides, he said "we have to come at him with the intent to kill'" Sakura recited from his explanation yesterday. "Exactly what I was thinking you two." Naruto agreed. "No matter what, we cannot underestimate him. We must always be on guard when it comes to the Hatake Kakashi." Naruto warned. "You know of him Naruto?" Sakura asked.
"Hatake Kakashi, he was born a genius in the shinobi arts. Starting the Academy at age 4, then graduating at the age of 5 as the rookie of the year and becoming Chunin at age 6 then he became a Jonin at the age of 12. He fought under the late Yodaime Hokage as his student and fought side by side with him throughout the Third Great Ninja War. He's also the son of the once famous Hatake Sakumo also known as 'Konoha's White Fang'." Sasuke and Sakura were both stunned from the new information given from there blond teammate about Kakashi's sensei and the realization of his father. They learned in the Academy about The White Fang, he abandoned the mission to save his comrades and because of his decision it was a huge blow to Konoha, from the guilt of the failed mission he committed suicide making Kakashi vow to follow the rules. From what Naruto said, it means Kakashi-Sensei is an A-rank to borderline S-rank ninja who fought under the tutelage of one of thee Hokage!
"But", Naruto said getting serious. Making both of them listen up. Naruto explained the mission to destroy Kannabi Bridge. "Kannabi Bridge was being used by Iwagakure forces to move in Kusagakure. This mission would mean to be Konoha's first huge offensive in the war. However his teammate, Rin, was captured by two Iwa-nin. His other teammate Obito Uchiha wanted to save Rin but Kakashi wanted to continue with the mission. Obito stubbornly left, before announcing that he believes The White Fang is a true hero. Parting soon after, Kakashi apparently had a change of heart and decided to go back and save Obito and Rin. Kakashi arrived and attacked one Iwa-nin who was about to kill Obito, while they fought the Iwa-nin attacked Obito who couldn't get out of the way and Kakashi took the impact causing him to lose his left eye for the duration of the mission."
"T-t-that's horrible!" Sakura said at a loss for words. Kids there age maybe even younger fighting in a war and dealing with comrades dying and losing body limbs. It made her shudder.
"To shorten the ending, what happened was that Obito and Kakashi finished off the first Iwa-nin and where successful in retrieving Rin inside a cave. However, the second Nin made the cave collapse, causing Kakashi to get hit in his blind spot. Obito pushed Kakashi out of the way and instead took the blunt impact of a falling boulder crushing the left side of his body, thus killing him but not before he could give Kakashi his Left Sharigan eye, Sasuke's clan's prized Dojutsu".
From the realization of someone other than him or his brother having the sharigan made him silent. Perhaps what Naruto said about Kakashi was true. He can't let his guard down for a second. This could also be beneficial for him as well. When he becomes genin Kakashi could teach him how to properly utilize the Sharigan. The thought made the Uchiha smile darkly.
"Now for getting back to the original question," calling them back to attention. Since Kakashi is a very strong ninja in his own right. Neither of us have a chance against him alone…but together we can at least have more of a chance to grab one of the bells, get what I'm sayin?"
Damnit. As much as Sasuke didn't like the idea of working with both of them, he couldn't argue with his logic. "Yeah I get it. So how do you wanna do this?" "Are you in Sakura?" "If Sasuke says yes then I'm all for it." "Alright here's the plan."
(End Flashback)
'Oh? It looks like I won't be able to get a chance to find out what happens next in Icha Icha' Kakashi thought as he analyzed the seriousness in his student's eyes.
"Begin!"
In a flash, Naruto rushed at Kakashi, knuckle knives in hand slashing down at him making Kakashi grab a kunai blocking the attack, both of them where shaking trying to overpower the other. Sasuke moved to the left waiting for Naruto to finish his attack. Unsealing his sealing scroll, His Uchiha engraved Katana poofed in existence. Grabbing the handle of the blade, he waited until he saw his chance to strike. Sakura moved right, weaving her hands to her favorite but only genjutsu she knew, "(Kasumi Jushano no Jutsu)". "Naruto Move!" shouted Sasuke. Hearing the cue, he quickly got a smoke bomb and threw it into the ground making Kakashi have a coughing fit, thus getting out of range from Sakura's Genjutsu. Kakashi couldn't believe it, he was out bested by three brats, him. Quickly realizing he is in a low level genjutsu, he was just about break out of it when he realized that this was the Mist Servant Technique, as multiple black oily clones phased in and out of the ground coming dangerously close throwing random projectiles at him. To learn this Genjutsu isn't short from an impressive feat especially from a genin. "Kai!" Dispelling the Genjutsu. Only to suddenly be met with kunai and shuriken only six feet away from him.
In the span of Sakura placing the Genjutsu unto Kakashi-Sensei and for him to break out of it was three seconds, enough time for said person to escape from the genjutsu. So seeing Kakashi get stabbed made the team stay on high alert for any movement, then the 'Kakashi' poofed and become a log. Substitution! They looked around, he was know where in sight. Crap! "Everyone move!" Naruto yelled. "Too Late!" Sakura was then suddenly pulled neck high into dirt.
"EEEEEEK!" Sakura screamed feeling all the earthly bugs crawl around her. As soon as Kakashi got out of the dirt, Sasuke saw his chance and threw his katana perfectly aimed at the back of Kakashi's neck; the katana being several inches away, Kakashi slightly moved his head and it sored right next to him and got stabbed into a nearby tree, hearing a loud THUNK! 'Damn!' Sasuke cursed.
Having no time to think, Naruto one hand sealed three shadow clones into existence. Thanks to Naruto scavenging left over kunai, shuriken and the like as a kid. He saw his fair share of ninja's learning, perfecting, and creating jutsu's. Naruto being Naruto decided to copy them from two sparring Jonin's who used it quite often in the spar. Of course he was only six years old and only learned the shadow clone technique and one low C-rank wind jutsu.
With the three shadow clones coming straight for Kakashi to try and subdue him before he made another move. Sasuke decided to end this fight with his fire technique. Familiar hand signs moved like a reflex for the young Uchiha. (Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu). Not wanting to be outdone, Naruto decided to unleash his wind jutsu.(Futon: Daitoppa) A huge fire ball came out of the Uchiha's mouth, while a crazy amount of wind came out of Uzumaki's only enhancing the Fire jutsu as it engulfed Kakashi and the clones with him. Heating up everything around it. Naruto stopped and took the time get Sakura out of the dirt.
When the fire ball died down. Nothing was in sight. "D-did you kill him?" Sakura asked worried. "No, I'm behind you." They all looked behind themselves slowly. Kakashi's eye smile showing, holding a small stick with a white flag tied to it. "Hehe I give up. I'm sure you guys figured out the real reason for this test by now". Relaxing, they all smiled and nodded in affirmative proving to Kakashi that he had picked a fine team, the burnt right sleeve as any indication. "Well you guys, Congrats you pass!" Kakashi couldn't help but eye-smile to all three.
"Yatta!" happily screamed Sakura, extremely glad to have become an official ninja and be closer with her Sasuke-kun! Sasuke gave his normal 'hmph' but gave a little smile, and Naruto grinned evilly. Finally he was moving closer to his goal. Once he gets stronger he can finally make a difference to this cursed ninja world.
"Hey Naruto!" Sakura said as she got closer toward Naruto making him feel uncomfortable. "What?" "Let's go celebrate at anyplace of your choosing, since you figured out the real objective of the test and made the plan for us to win." She happily exclaimed. The slowly she hanged out with Naruto, Sakura realized, the slowly he becomes more tolerably to be around with. "Right Kakashi-Sensei, we should celebrate as a Team". "Sure why not, where too Naruto." Giving Naruto the spotlight again.
"Fine, how about Ichirakus?" "Sounds good, lets gooo!"
(Author Notes)
If you haven't guessed already, Sasuke already has acquired his sharigan after Itachi pulled off the massacre, I always thought it was weird that he got the sharigan at the time but never used it again until the land of wave's mission. Also Sasuke is adept with a Katana the same one that he has in manga.(he's got a lot of scrolls from deceased clansmen and women).
Sakura was decent but I plan to make her more reliable character in this fanfic. Also Kakashi will be more helpful to his students as he should've been in the first place.
Naruto slowly gaining friends but is it too late for him to change? We will see in the future. I know the fight was short but I'm hoping on improving along the way and making them longer and more intense.
Don't forget to comment, Fav/follow so I can improve the quality of the fanfic! -Dougyfresh
