Kakashi: 27
Now it Appears all is in order! Izalith rubs his hands together as the master plan begins!
Naruto: you know... this is your first story, How exactly would you call it a Master plan?
Izalith: Shush you. i've been contemplating, planning, scheming, this story for over 8 years, gimme a break will ya?
Nauto: Hmmph Fine but you still know its not going to go anywhere near as planned and no where near as epic as many of the other stories, Btw while your at it, why dont you mention the Credit..
Izalith: Bah! Preposterous! and that is your job my little ninja friend.
Naruto:...Teme... Izalith does NOT own ANY of the Naruto-verse, ONLY his own OC's. Which, should this story have any, will be awesome! but not as awesome as me! Dattebayo! Kishimoto owns the Naruto series and shall forever own it.
Izalith: Goood good. ON WITH THE SHOW! I do believe we have followed Jiji-sama long enough don't you all? Where is naruto you ask? read on my good people.
Hiruzen could not help himself but to smile at the boys antics as he chatted animatedly with the ramen stand's owner. It was days like this that let him truely enjoy his times with Naruto, to where nothing seemed to bother the boy was astounding in itself. He was pulled from his thoughts as said boy mentioned his name
"-ji-san said I can have one jutsu now that i have passed the genin test! oh! im so excited! i cant wait to see what i get!" chuckling, Sarutobi could not help but welcome the boys bright and optimistic view.
"Now now Naruto-kun, while i did say you could get a jutsu, as you know it wont be something big, we cant have you blowing yourself up before you reach Hokage now, can we?"
Naruto looked at the man for a minute with a weird look before realization came to him "Hey Jiji, Can i ask you something?" "Sure, Naruto-kun, i shall answer to the best of my ability."
"Well...i know when i asked before you said you didnt know my parents, but lately i've been having these weird dreams." curiousity peaked Sarutobi motioned for the boy to continue "...And well in these dreams i keep seeing these two really pretty ladies!" Naruto holds his arms spread out as far as they go, as a means to show just how pretty he thought she was.
"Oh? what can you tell me of this lady then, Naruto-kun?" with a large grin Naruto goes into a detailed(as far as a kid can tell anyways) description of the them "Well the first was really tall, like taller than you! or the masked guys that followed you here with us-" Sarutobi raised an eyebrow while the Anbu who heard him tensed, how had the boy known they were there? completely missing all this Naruto continues on "She also had black hair, and she felt really warm! And then there was the other one! She was younger, i could tell, she looked more my age now, like fifteen or so. She had flaming red hair with reaaly bright red eyes that look like a cats! and i couldnt see really well but it looked liked her shadows moved behind her." The hokage and all ninja in the area suddenly froze at this, could he be speaking of kyuubi? but Kyuubi was a monstrously tall fox.
Seeing that his grandfater figure was stone still he looked at him questioningly "Hey Jiji? you okay? you look stiff." Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Sarutobi coughed then smiled at the boy "I am quite alright Naruto-kun, can you tell me, did the second girl have anything strange about her?" after several moments of silence, Sarutobi was greeted with a word phrase that solidified his thoughts, Naruto simply said "Tails. ALOT of them too!" Hiding his reaction from Naruto, Sarutobi decided to ask him something that had been bugging him since naruto's descriptions. "Naruto-kun, did these ladies perhaps say anything to you?" He instantly nodded.
"Yea! the black haired lady said 'Soon little one, everything will change', and the other one said...uh...OH YEA! it was 'It's almost time! Naruto-kun, I'll be waiting!" Sarutobi took a deep breath upon hearing this, leaning back he noticed it was getting late. "Well that is quite the dream my boy, however it is getting late, you should be getting home, Don't you have a meeting tomorrow with your Sensei and team?" Naruto suddenly shot up off the stool and yelled "GAH i COMPLETELY Forgot! I need to get home so i can prepare for tomorrow" and with a wave to the owner of the stand shot off into the distance, no doubt towards his place.
-With Naruto- dashdashdashdashdashdashdashdashdash
Arriving at his apartment, Naruto could be seen walking into his living room and stopping for a moment to think of tomorrow 'Alright, If what we learned today was true, our sensei is a person who is late, likes to read those weird books, and seems to be lazy. But! he is a jounin, so he cant be all that bad right?' With this Naruto picks up a scroll that was sitting on his couch, it read 'Sealing Arts:For Dummies Part Three of ?' Naruto smiled at this, as opened the scroll and skimmed through its contents, he couldnt help but think of all the Surprises he had up his sleeve. Everyone thought he was the dead last, Everyone thought he knew nothing, Hell he had even fooled the hokage with his visage of seemingly knowing hardly a thing.
'Well tomorrow is going to be rough, i know i should get some rest but i really need to finish on this' refering to the sealing scroll in his hands. And so with that thought he sat down and began studying.
dashdashdashdashdashdashdashdashdashdashdashdashdashdashdash
The next morning proved to be a warm one, and the sun just happened to feel like being mean today, shining through his window and directly on his face, Naruto turned over before freezing. Then relaxing when he realized he still had just under an hour to be ready, he decided to forgo his sensei's advice and 'skip breakfast' with that thought, and a growling stomach, he moved into the kitchen after getting dressed and fixed him a breakfast of eggs, bacon, grits, and toast. Yes an actual breakfast, cause you see, he might like ramen more than anything, but even he knew what being healthy meant. And ramen all day long, while sounding good, was not healthy.
After his breakfast he grabbed his Kunai/Shurikan pouch and a medium size travel scroll(Never know when it will be handy) And made his way to the training grounds at a leisurely pace. About half way there he runs into his sensei who is standing at a corner leaning against a post...Reading... and failing to notice Naruto was there next to him, continued to do so. Hearing a cough Kakashi looks up to see one of his possible 'To-be Students' looking at him with an unreadable expression. "Yes?" he says inquiring as to what the boy may need. "You know, Sensei, I personally don't care what you do, on your own time. But you are the one who said for us to be at the training grounds several minutes ago. And when you yourself don't show, what would happen if say, an enemy shinobi had been waiting on us. And all the while you are here reading, Me and my teammates would be Possibly dead. neh?" With that Naruto turns and walks off, towards the training grouds.
Kakashi was stunned, almost literally so, His soon 'to-be' student had walked up to him, told him that his laziness could get them killed pretty much, then left. All the while not showing a hint of emotion. It was a drastic change to yesterday, when the boy was spouting off about being hokage in a loud manner. With a sigh, he closed his book and a moment later Shunshin'd to the Training grounds. He was going to have to ask the hokage about the boy.
Upon arriving he saw a sight that was not exactly expected, Naruto, for all intents and purposes was for some reason upside down on a tree limb...wait...tree walking? Someone has been training at least. Sasuke was staring up at the boy with a glare, and Sakura was... glaring at the ground. Looking down at his students he couldn't help but feel that this was going to be a really really long day, and with that went to greet his little trainees.
-With N-
Looking down at the Uchiha boy he couldn't help but think to himself 'This teme, acting all high and mighty as if he believes he is Kami-sama's gift to man' with a shake of his head he dropped to the ground, landing soundlessly next to the tree, leaning against it, and promptly ignored his teammates. Sasuke 'Hn'ed' and crossed his arms while brooding, he looked over to his other teammate and was slightly confused, did the girl have something against the ground?
Sakura had actually been lost in thought and her glaring at the ground was the cause of an Inner voice 'I'm telling you, the Uchiha is not worth our time, he wont look at us, wont pay us any attention, doesn't care about working together, and hasnt even tried to-' 'Look i don't care what you think about Sasuke-kun, Besides what has Naruto done that is any different huh? 'Ehh how about all of the above? you saw it yourself when we got here, the first thing he said was that we need to work together, coming up with a plan in case our Jounin sensei had a test of his own for us, It just proves my point. Naruto-kun is alot better that duck ass.' 'HEY Sasuke-kun is NOT a duck ass...even if his hair looks that way.' 'Hah you agree with me though!' glaring at the ground she just shook her head a little 'No, i don't now let me concentrate damnit!'
They were all interrupted by a poof of smoke and the arrival of there sensei, who crossed his arms and just looked at them. Sakura was gonna yell at him but suddenly felt meek when taking in his visage.
In his mind Kakashi was amusing himself while looking intimidating, or tried to anyways, as Naruto just yawned. Seeing this caused him to sweatdrop, so with a slight cough he decided to speak up.
"Well my cute little to-be genin's Today shall be the true genin tests as i said yesterday. so here" he pulls two bells out of his pocket "is your test, you need to get a bell before this timer here" motions to the small cooking timer set on the log next him was a preset timer which looked to be set to go off at twelve that noon. "So! Oh wait right, if you don't get a bell you go back to the academy. So ready?" the three nod "Well then...Begin!" a moment later he is the only one left standing in the clearing 'Well seems they got stealth down...maybe not' "That is not very stealthy you know"
"Hn, i dont need stealth to obtain a bell, i'll take you on with my own strength" Kakashi looked at the raven haired boy before him, it confused him greatly that he was the one standing before him, he expected Naruto, but not Sasuke to do something like this. Was this boy really that arrogant? well he would just have to learn. "hmm. Very well, if you think you can, then come, Boy." With that kakashi reached to his kunai pouch, making Sasuke tense ready to act, and pulled out a...book.
This confused Sasuke "Why are you reading at a time like this?" "Well to reach the next part of course! Besides it's not like i cant read and fight, so why not do both?" This caused the Uchiha to fume and with a small yell shot forward at the jounin, coming around with a high spin kick which was easily blocked, he twisted to slam a fist into the guys face, also blocked, feeling irritated he spun around and tried to take out the jounins legs, who jumped.
While this was going on Sakura was silently cheering for the boy, and Naruto was simply observing, watching Kakashi's movements like a hawk. sensing someone nearby he glanced over to see Kakashi standing behind Sakura, who was oblivious. With a sigh he threw a kunai at Kakashi, making sure to aim it to where, should he dodge, it would fly by the girl, causing her to move.
Sakura was silently watching the small skirmish between Sasuke and Kakashi when she heard something nearby, looking over she is surprised when she see's Kakashi standing next to her
"Lesson one: always look underneath the underneath, you never know wh-" he was interrupted as a Kunai came sailing towards him at insane speeds, using Body Replacement Technique(Kawarimi), he poofed away switching with a leaf, which got spliced in half by the kunai, the same kunai flew right next to Sakura's right ear, causing her to jump and start running for a new hiding spot.
Naruto sighed, seeing that his plan worked, now it was time to get them to work together. speeding off, he followed Sakura "Sakura" she looked back to see naruto, stopping, she turned to look at him, "What?" pausing a second she see's his look "You know how to beat him...dont you." it wasnt a question, but he nodded regardless.
"It's actually simple, whats the objective of this test?"
"To get the bells."
"And who is our opponent?"
"Kakashi-san, a...jounin." a sudden realization hit her, and with an 'I get it now' face, she looked at Naruto "So what's the plan then?" he smirked at her knowing her smarts were some of the best out of the academy, then looking around "We get Sasuke to help us, i dont care if its inadvertantly, just get him to help us, or, we help him." Sakura nodded quickly at the prospect of helping Sasuke, then they both set out to find him, Sakura recalled him fighting the jounin in the fields next to the three logs they started at. With that they went to the location only to see Sasuke's head poking out of the ground, sweatdropping, Naruto clamped his hand on Sakura's mouth upon seeing her about to scream out.
At the contact she looked at naruto who simply held a finger to his mouth "Shhh, that's Sasuke alright, however it seems our dear jounin has set us up a trap, or rather, is coming for us. So we need to hurry" Moving cautiously towards Sasuke, they observed every little thing on their way. When they got to him, Naruto told him to keep quiet while they got him out all the while telling him of their plan. Sasuke just huffed and let them work, every now and then testing to see how loose he was.
Once free he looked around, not spying the jounin anywhere, setting his gaze on his To be teammates "So, to get the bells, we have to display a certain amount of teamwork? Alright dobe, but I lead us in, otherwise im out." Naruto held his hands up "Fine fine, that was the plan anyways, you assault him from the front, i'll cover us with clones, while Sakura gets the bells." Nodding, all the set out to find the man, only to see him standing on the other side of the field, still reading his book.
Kakashi was amused, and quite excited, for the first time in years, a team that was willing to work together. In his mind, they had already passed upon agreeing to their little plan. So he simply waited to see just what it is they would do, no reason to pass them without actually seeing it, now was there?
Glancing up he see's the three in a triangle formation around him "Well now, it seems your ready for Round two then? Very well. Let's see what you got hmmm?"
Acting first Sasuke shot towards him with above average genin speed, getting close he throws a leg out, knowing it would be blocked, he uses the momentum to spin around, blocking the jounins view with his body further assaulting the jounin to the best of his ability. Seeing his turn coming up, Naruto created several clones, all of which Henge'd into each of his teammates, sending them in teams of three, one each of Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, to add further confusion to the chaos.
Under all this pressure, if one looked closely enough, they would see a grand smile upon the jounins face. Yes, without a doubt, this team would do. Thinking on it, he decided against the lazy teacher regime right then and there. He would train them alright, train them to become to best team in the world.
At that exact moment, he hears the slight jinggle of bells, and hastely retreating from the chaos, looks down to find the empty space at his belt 'Hmmm, i must becoming complacent in these last few years, im going to have to change that.' looking at His genin, Yes HIS genin 'Or..they are just an insane group to handle...oh this will be fun'
"Alright thats enough you three. settle down, i do believe we have the results, However, Sakura." Upon hearing her name, she looks at the jounin with a Victory smirk. "You now have two bells in your possession, Choose who gets the other one, so that the one who doesn't is sent back to the academy." with an incredious look on her face she gives BOTH bells to her teammates. "It's only far, they did all the work while i simply just got the bells, i'll see you guys later, im hungry!" with that she starts walking off.
Kakashi was smiling, even though no one could see it, they understood this test easily, however seeing the girl walk off, he had to say something to make sure he didnt lose a member. "Very well, team, meet tomorrow at 10 am, and yes i DO mean 10, none of the lazy stuff"Pausing a moment, he spots Sakura still walking off calling out to her"Sakura, that includes you too, there is an insane amount of potential with this group, im not going to pass up this chance".
Looking back at the jounin, Sakura simply laughs at him while she continues walking, this time being joined by Naruto and Sasuke. "Ahh but you see Sensei, we already knew we passed before even coming after the bells" seeing the Kakashi's shocked look the group shared a laugh, this time they invited him to join them by Naruto "Come on Sensei, we are hungry, and you are not going to get away with a simple test like this, SO, we are going to the Akamichi bar and grill to celebrate our teams formation. It is Mandatory that you are there, right Kakashi." With an intense stare that reminded the one eyed dog user of his late sensei he could only reply with "Right right, time for celebration with my cute little genin"
