Uchiha: Heroes of Konoha
I don't own Naruto or its characters
Chapter 5: The Test
Sasuke walked out across a short bridge to the area where he and the rest of his new team were going to meet with Obito sensei. He had already decided to do some warm up to get ready for what every he would have to do this day with his teammates Yet sadly he was the first person to show up at the spot, he figured that Naruto would be late, but he figured for sure that Sakura would be on time, to see him if nothing else. Obito gave them a time to arrive and he would arrive on time for sure. Sasuke decided to sit down softly on the grass and wait for the rest of his team.
As Sasuke sat he wondered just what type of training or exercise Obito would have them do. As he thought about it, he began to wonder what he would do in Obito's place. You had just gotten 3 youngster's who had never worked together and now you had to turn them into a team that would Yeah, he would have to do some major teamwork lessons, and Obito knew out he annoyance with Sakura, and Naruto. It meant for sure, that there would be serious on the teamwork side. Still what type of teamwork lesson would he teach them with. Even thinking about everyone of the stories that Obito had told him, he could not think of what the lesson would be.
"Sasuke, your hear, this is amazing, I can't believe that we are on the same team. It must be fate, don't you think?" Sakura said coming into his field of vision, moving quickly to sit next to him on the grass.
"Yeah, whatever Sakura," Sasuke replied hopping that his comment would cause the girl to leave him alone.
Sasuke shock his head as Sakura was unable to get it though her head that he was no interested in her. He looked at her for a split second. She would do what she could to win his affection, but would she be willing to risk to much and her problems with Naruto would for sure cause the team problems in the teamwork area. As Sasuke thought about this, he noticed Naruto walking on the bridge.
"Hey Naruto, you decided to show up, I see."
"Yeah, of course, I am here to show you, just how much better I am then your loser self. I am going to be the best shinobi in Konoha, in fact, I am going to be the next Hokage."
Sasuke had tuned Naruto out by the 4th word that came out of his mouth. It was a habbit he would have to get over, and he knew he would. Yet, it was just so challenging, Naruto was just to loud and well annoying.
A second after Naruto walked up a large area of smoke appeared, in its wake stood Obito Uchiha.
"Well, it is nice that all three of you could make it out here, " Obito said looking over all three of his teammates, causing a smile to spread across his face, remembering his own team.
"Well, we have a test today, it will determine if you are worthy of being shinobi of the leaf village, or not."
"What, you mean that the test we took two days ago was not the final one," Naruto said amazed at the comment
"Nope, kid, you have many more in your life, and this one is maybe the most important one," Obito replied, "First I would like to learn something about you three. Tell me one thing you like, one thing you don't like, and what your dream is?"
"Well, I like all types of ramen, I dislike some people," Naruto said looking at Sasuke, "and my dream is to be the next Hokage."
Obito smiled at the comment, he was so Kushina's kid it was unreal.
"Well I like some people, I dislike others," Sakura announced looking at Sasuke and Naruto in turn, "My goal is to be with someone."
Looking at her, he realized something else, that the comment about history repeating was true, He had in front of him a copy of his own team.
"Well, I am sure you know about sensei, but I like training, dislike annoying people, and my dream is to be the best shinobi the leaf ever produced," Sasuke said his normal determined look on his face.
"Good, we should get going," Obito said getting ready to tell them about there test.
"Uchiha sensei, could you tell us about you," Sakura asked in a curious tone.
"I can handle that one for you," Sasuke volunteered, "He likes ramen, he dislikes being late, and his dream his to have me be the best I can be, correct?"
"Yep, that is true," Obito said noticing Naruto's smile when Sasuke mentioned that he liked ramen.
"Alright, back on topic, you all have a test," Obito said looking at the group pulling out two bells, "It is called the bell test, who ever gets a bell passes, if you don't well, you will not be allowed to be a shinobi of the leaf."
Obito smiled as he noticed Naruto run right at him, it was so easy to read, it was funny. It was like watching a young version of himself. Obito moved slightly and tripped Naruto and bounced back and looked around. He noticed that Sakura and Sasuke had hidden in the woods surrounding the him. He knew just where each of them were at that moment.
"Obito sensei, one of those bells is mine, I have trained to hard to get it, you can't keep me from my destiny," Naruto yelled out forming a huge amount of clones.
Obito was impressed, this kid had this much skill to perform a solid move like this, it was not bad. It still was easy to counter without much effort. Obito created a clone the second before the Naruto's attacked, and transformed himself to look like Naruto escaping out of the group ,and allowing Naruto to fight himself. It was mean, but hopefully, the boy would learn a lesson from it. As he emerged from the group he noticed Sasuke moving quickly at him, forming hand seals. Obito smiled as he noticed this, Sasuke was the best of the group by far, and his use of Naruto's attack was good to, but not quiet good enough. Obito steeped hard on the ground before backing up. When the fireball hit its target, it turned his figure into a shadow clone.
"Headhunter jutsu," Obito called out pulling Sasuke under the ground up to his own neck.
"Good try Sasuke, but you can do better then that, I know you can."
Obito moved on to observe Sakura, he had read that she was a natural at sensing and control chakra, so she should be able to notice a easy genjutsu . Obito smiled as he release a genjutsu of Sasuke being mortally wounded and walking up to her and collapsing. Obito looked on with depressed looking noticing how she was not even able to figure out the simple genjutsu. Her feelings for Sasuke would be a huge weak point.
Sasuke managed to work his way out of the whole. He felt stupid, he had never fallen for that attack before, but now he had. Plus he could not get his teammates to work together. That would be the only chance they had. It at that moment hit him, why two bells, he remembered a old saying of Obito.
Sasuke walked over to Naruto who was also pulling himself together.
"Hey, I think I have an idea, but I am going to need both you and Sakura to help. If it works, I will make sure you and Sakura have a bell and pass this test."
"Really," Naruto said amazed, noticing Sasuke nodded his head, "Thanks"
"Yeah, whatever, lets go find Sakura, and don't tell her about the plan."
Walking to where they noticed Sakura in tears on the ground. Sasuke was more then a bit surprised when Sakura ran up to him and hugged him.
"Sasuke, your ok,"
"Sakura, we have work to do," Sasuke replied working overtime to keep from getting angry about this,"Alright, here is the plan."
Obito noticed that the three of them talking, and wondered what their plan would be. He smiled noticing the teamwork of the three. He also felt proud of Sasuke for putting aside his feelings to work with the other two. He didn't have time to think to much as Naruto come right at him. As he prepared to dodge them, he noticed a kunai fly at him. As Obito blocked Naruto, he transformed into Sasuke, and at the same time the kunai flying by him changed to Naruto. The move put him in perfect range to grab the bells, which he managed to do as he fell to the ground. Obito knew he could of prevented the move, but decided against it. The three show great teamwork, he just wanted to see one more thing.
"So, you got them, Naruto, seems like you get to pick who passes with you huh?"
"Yeah," Naruto said taking a deep breath, thinking about the help Sasuke had given him, "Yeah, but we are a team, and we should only pass as a team."
"Good, then you all pass, congrats."
