Hey all, here's chapter eight for you all. Hope you like it.
Chapter 8
After chasing Kakashi around the academy swinging his sword madly, Naruto finally stopped when they got back to the hallway where they started and he said, "Ugh, damn you aniki, let's just get this over with now. I'll beat the shit out of you when we get home."
Kakashi sweatdropped and said, "Well go get everyone then and meet me up on the roof." He then disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Naruto went back to the classroom and once he got back inside he said, "Alright everyone, aniki said to meet him on the roof, so let's get going."
Tenshi and Kanari got up and walked up to Naruto each holding onto one of his arms while Sasuke brooded as he got up and Sakura followed him like a lost puppy. A few minutes later they all exited the building onto the roof through a stairway and sat down in front of Kakashi who was reading his little orange book while leaning on a rail. When they all were settled down, Kakashi closed his book and said, "Alright everyone, this is standard procedure so let's introduce ourselves to each other so we can move on. You first pinky." He finished pointing at Sakura.
Sakura blushed as all eyes turned to her and she said, "Ano, why don't you go first sensei so we can see how it's done."
Kakashi sighed and said, "My name is Kakashi Hatake, my likes are none of your business, my dislikes are few, my hobbies I don't really feel like sharing, and for my dreams? Never really thought about. Now you go pinky."
Naruto, Kanari, and Tenshi all rolled their eyes at Kakashi and Sakura said, "My name is Sakura Haruno. My likes our… (Blushing giggle) my dislikes are Ino-pig and Naruto-baka. As for my hobbies… (More blushing and giggling). My dream is to… (Fangirl squeal).
Kakashi rolled his eyes and thought, 'Great a fangirl.' He then pointed to Sasuke and said, "You next emo king."
Sasuke glared at him before saying, "My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I have few likes and many dislikes. My dream, no my ambition is to revive my clan and to kill a…certain someone."
'Just like I thought, he's driven to kill Itachi.' Kakashi thought to himself.
'Sasuke-kun's so cool.' Sakura thought while day dreaming about her and Sasuke.
Kakashi pointed to Tenshi and said, "You next."
Tenshi sat up a little straighter and said, "I'm Tenshi. My likes are Naruto-kun, Kanari-chan, reading, cooking, foxes, and being with friends and family. I dislike people who are full of themselves, perverts, and people who don't treat others with respect. My hobbies are training with Kanari-chan and Naruto-kun and relaxing with my friends. I'd rather not share my dream as it is a bit personal." She was blushing lightly at the end of it.
'Weird girl.' Sakura thought to herself.
'Hn.' Four guesses who.
'Probably something that deals with Naruto.' Kakashi thought with a quiet perverted giggle.
Kakashi turned to Kanari and motioned for her to go. Kanari took a deep breath and said, "My name is Kanari. My likes are Naruto-kun, Tenshi-chan, family and friends. I also like Tenshi-chan's cooking. My dislikes are people who cannot look past a grudge and those that can see good in someone who is not really evil. I also hate perverts. My hobbies are training with Tenshi-chan and Naruto-kun. I don't really know what my dream is."
Kakashi nodded and said, "Very well; otouto your next."
Naruto nodded and said, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki. My likes are Tenshi-chan, Kanari-chan, Iruka-sensei, Kaka-nii, Oji-san, and being with those I care for. I also love ramen from Ichiraku's. I dislike people who mistreat anyone else for no apparent reason, perverts with no self-control, rapist, and anyone who abuses in any shape or form. My hobby is training with my friends and being with friends. My dream is to become the Hokage so I can protect everyone precious to me and the village."
Kakashi stood up when he finished and clapped his hands together and said, "Right then, you have the rest of today off. Tomorrow meet me at training ground seven at seven for a survival test."
"But Kakashi-sensei, we've already done survival training in the academy." Sakura spoke out.
"Not this kind Sakura. Your opponent is going to be me. Now I recommend you don't eat breakfast, you'll probably just puke it up." Kakashi replied before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Sasuke stood up and walked to the edge of the roof with Sakura following him and asked him, "Hey Sasuke-kun I was wondering if you'd like to go get something to eat with me."
"No." Was all he said before jumping down off the roof.
Sakura pouted before she ran off hoping to catch him again. Naruto turned to the other two and asked, "Well what do you two want to do before we go back?"
"How about we go out for some food? We can even go to Ichiraku's." Kanari offered.
Naruto jumped up cheering before grabbing their hands and disappeared in a puff of smoke. They reappeared in front of Ichiraku's Ramen and they went inside. When they got in they were greeted by Teuchi who was standing behind the counter and Naruto said, "Hey Oji-san, can we get four miso ramen, two pork, and two chicken to start?"
"Already coming up Naruto, you guys always order that." Teuchi replied while pouring noodles.
Naruto and the others all sat down on the stools and Ayame came out from the back. When she saw them she rushed over to them and pulled them into a group hug saying, "About time you all came here together, I haven't seen you all together in a long time."
Naruto was blushing due to where his face was placed while Tenshi and Kanari were turning blue from the lack of air. When they were let go from Ayame Naruto said, "Geez Ayame-chan, that's some killer strength you got there in your hugs." Kanari and Tenshi nodded in agreement.
Ayame blushed and said, "Sorry, I just missed you all." She then noticed the headbands on their foreheads and exclaimed, "Oh so you graduated! Congratulations you all!"
Teuchi heard this and said, "Well in that case, we're celebrating then! This batch of ramen is on the house."
Naruto let out a loud, "YATTA!" while the two girls smiled. A few minutes later Teuchi set down all the bowls of ramen and they started eating occasionally making small talk with Teuchi and Ayame. A little while later the group was ready to go and as they were walking out Ayame stopped Naruto and whispered, "Come back soon Naruto-kun." And kissed his cheek lightly.
Naruto blushed and said, "Of course Ayame-chan, see you two again soon.
He then walked back to Tenshi and Kanari and the three of them left for home together. When they got home they all headed to Naruto's room. Once they were in there Naruto asked, "What? Do you two want to sleep in here again?"
They both nodded and Naruto said, "Alright, get changed then and we'll go to bed."
The girls nodded and left to get changed while Naruto changed in his room. About five minutes later they both came back and when Naruto opened the door they pushed him down on the bed and each got in their respective spots. Naruto smiled at the girls as they made themselves comfy at his sides. When they settled he cupped Kanari's chin and kissed her lightly on the lips before doing the same to Tenshi. Both girls sighed contentedly and soon they were all asleep.
The next morning both Tenshi and Kanari were getting impatient; for the last 20 minutes they have been trying to wake Naruto up and they weren't succeeding at all. Tenshi sighed and said, "Who knew Naruto could be his hard to get up."
Naruto who was still asleep mumbled, "Okay Tenshi-chan, I'll go harder for you."
Tenshi and Kanari turned bright red and Tenshi slapped Naruto yelling, "WAKE UP YOU DAMN HENTAI!"
Naruto groaned in pain and sat up holding the side of his head where he was slapped said, "Ow, why'd you hit me?"
"Because you were being a damn hentai and wouldn't wake up." Tenshi said haughtily.
Naruto grimaced and looked at them and saw how they were both bright red, so he asked, "I said something in my sleep didn't I?"
Kanari nodded and said, "Mind telling us what you were dreaming about?"
Naruto shook his head and said, "I'd rather live to see tomorrow so I'm going to take a very cold shower."
As Naruto left the two girls looked at each other and Tenshi said, "I wonder what he was dreaming about, how about you?"
"Probably along the lines of ravishing us with his big…" Kanari slapped her hands to her mouth before she said anything further and was even more red.
Tenshi grinned and said, "So the great Kami-Sama is a closet pervert?"
Kanari just wacked the back of Tenshi's head as she laughed causing her to whine in pain. The two girls then left to get dressed before heading down stairs. When they got there they saw Naruto already at the table and was munching on toast. When the two girls sat down, Naruto passed them a plate of eggs and bacon with toast on the side and he said, "I had a shadow clone make us breakfast when I showered."
The two girls sat down to eat breakfast and a few minutes later Kakashi came down and saw them eating and he said, "Didn't I tell you to not eat breakfast?"
"Nope." Naruto replied.
"You recommended us to not eat." Kanari clarified for him.
'Well at least they saw through that part.' Kakashi thought to himself before saying, "Well you better hurray up then, it's almost seven."
A few minutes later the group left for training ground seven with their gear and when they got there they saw Sasuke brooding under a tree and Sakura trying to talk to him. When they got over to them Sakura screeched, "YOU'RE LATE!"
Tenshi whimpered at the loud noise and Naruto was picking at his ear before he said, "Yeah by about five minutes, besides Kakashi won't be here for another few hours so no need to blow our ear drums."
Naruto, Kanari, and Tenshi sat down under the tree near Sasuke and Sakura started to try and talk to him again. About 20 minutes later they heard Sakura's stomach growl and Naruto asked, "You two didn't eat breakfast did you?"
"Of course not! Kakashi-sensei told us not to." Sakura responded.
Naruto and the others side before he said, "No he recommended you don't eat breakfast, it was a little test he did to see if you would eat or not." He then turned to Sasuke and asked, "Did you eat Sasuke?"
"Hn." Was all he got but then Sasuke's stomach growled as well causing Naruto to grin.
Naruto reached into his jacket and pulled out two small bento's and passed them to Sasuke and Sakura and he said, "Eat up; we'll need you at full strength to do this test."
Sakura took the bento and mumbled a quiet, "Thank you" while Sasuke looked at it for a few moments before he to too it and Naruto swore he heard a small, "Thanks."
Sasuke and Sakura ate quickly and when they were done they gave both boxes back to Naruto who then put them away. They all just waited for Kakashi to finally show up and an hour and a half later he popped in saying, "Yo, sorry I'm late, I had to go back home to get my pants since I forgot them."
Naruto just looked at Kakashi and said, "That's a load of shit, we saw you this morning or did you forget that?"
Kakashi just rubbed the back of his head and said, "Right then, we're going to start your test to see if you really can become genin."
"What do you mean really become genin Kakashi-sensei? I thought we already were?" Sakura asked confused.
"No, you see Sakura; the graduation exam is just to weed out the others who are incapable of becoming genin. So the real test is this…" he paused and pulled out two bells and continued, "Your task is to get these two bells from me and whoever doesn't get them goes back to the academy."
Sakura started to sputter on how that wasn't fair and Kakashi sighed saying, "Life isn't fair Sakura, now prepare yourselves."
He pulled out an alarm clock and hit the button before saying, "You have until noon. You may begin!"
The group of five disappeared into the trees with Naruto meeting up with Kanari and Tenshi before saying, "Kakashi really thinks we're idiots doesn't he? Didn't he always say to use teamwork for everything?"
Kanari nodded and said, "He probably wants to see if the other two can figure it out even though we already know his play."
Tenshi then spoke up saying, "We'll let's go find the other two to make sure they understand what the test is really about."
The other two nodded and they all left for Sakura since she'd be the easiest do deal with first. After a few minutes of running they came upon her where she was hiding in some bushes and Naruto called out, "Hey Sakura, come here."
Sakura saw them and moved to them slowly before saying, "What do you want?"
"We came to see if you figured this test out yet or not, we already know what it really is thanks to living with Kakashi." Naruto replied.
"Its teamwork isn't it?" Sakura asked them.
Naruto nodded and said, "Yep, glad one of you figured it out so far."
Sakura replied, "I've been wracking my brains for the last five minutes trying to figure out how just two of us would even be able to get the bells and it didn't seem possible so I figured that we all had to work together for it."
"You always we're the brains of the class." Naruto said before adding in his mind, 'At least for the normal people in class.'
They then heard the distinctive sounds of fighting in the background causing Naruto to sigh and say, "Looks like the teme decided to get started without us."
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go help Sasuke-kun." Sakura said with conviction.
'We'll at least she's determined to work when Sasuke is involved.' The other three thought.
When they broke the tree lines they saw Sasuke in the ground with only his head free causing Sakura to scream and the other three to fall over laughing. Naruto couldn't help it and said, "Well teme, looks like you got ahead of yourself this time."
"Shut up dobe and get me out of here so I can get a bell and be one step closer to avenging my clan." Sasuke said while glaring at Naruto and the others.
"Nope." Naruto replied.
"What do you mean nope you damn dobe?" Sasuke seethed.
"I mean that we're not helping you until you listen to us, we're going to explain what the test really is and if you decide to cooperate with us, we'll get you out." Naruto explained.
"Hurry up then." Sasuke demanded.
"Patience is a virtue you know teme. Anyways, this test is really about teamwork. It's a simple plan of dividing and conquering. You pit us against each other and see if we can look past our differences and work together to bring a common foe down." Naruto told him.
Sasuke glared at him before saying, "Fine, I'll go along with it but you better not slow me down."
"More of do you think you can keep up teme?" Naruto replied with a smirk.
Sasuke gave his own smirk and said, "Well dig me up then and we'll find out."
Kanari then stepped forward forming several hand signs before saying and said, "Doton: Gyakuten Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu" (roughly Earth release: Reverse Head Hunting Jutsu) causing Sasuke to pop out of the ground.
"Well that was fast." Naruto said laughingly.
"Alright then dobe, what's the plan?" Sasuke asked.
"What? You mean that you're actually asking me what to do?" Naruto asked in shock.
"You were the one who got us in this so you're going to finish it but if you come up with a stupid plan I'll light your ass on fire." Sasuke replied.
Naruto laughed and said, "Hai, Hai, now this is the plan…"
Kakashi was leaning against a stump and was reading his book after he took Sasuke down. He let out a perverse giggle and then had to jump to the side to dodge a barrage of kunai and shruiken from different directions. When he landed he was forced to block a kick from Sasuke who came out of the trees besides him and countered with his own kick knocking him back. Kakashi thought, 'Either that was a very well placed trap or they're working together now. I think it's the latter.'
He then was forced to dodge two other kicks from Kanari and Tenshi and thought, 'Shit! I didn't even see them coming.'
He rolled out of the way from an ax kick from Sasuke and he punched out and Tenshi who was closest catching her in the stomach causing her to stumble and he jumped away putting some distance between them. Kakashi called out, "Lesson one: Taijutsu."
He then charged at Sasuke sending a barrage of fast punches forcing Sasuke to retreat and try to dodge as many as he could but every few hits Kakashi connected with Sasuke. Kakashi also had to dodge multiple kunai coming from the trees. Then by pure instinct alone he dodged a punch from Kanari and swept his leg out tripping her and he thought, 'Where the hell are Naruto and Sakura?'
He then saw Tenshi coming at him very fast and low and jumped into the air as she sent a low kick to where his knees were moments before. In the air he called out, "Lesson Two: Ninjutsu." Before flashing through some hand signs and yelled, "Katon: Karyu Endan" (Fire release: Dragon Flame Bullet) sending a stream of fire shaped like a dragon at each of them causing them all to jump to the side before the dragons struck the ground causing a minor explosion at each point of impact.
Kakashi then thought, 'Okay that might have been overkill.'
Upon landing Kakashi saw Sasuke flash through hand signs before calling out in his mind, "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu" (Fire release: Great Fireball Technique) sending a ball of fire at Kakashi who was about to jump away when he heard Naruto shout from the trees behind Sasuke and the others, "Fūton: Daitoppa" (Wind release: Great Breakthrough) sending a sudden burst of wind at Sasuke's fireball causing it to expand in size and turn mainly white in color.
The color drained from Kakashi's face and he thought, 'A collaboration jutsu already? WHAT. THE. FUCK.' Before he sprinted as fast as he could to the far end of the training ground.
When the fireball hit where he had been standing there was a ten foot deep crater that was about six feet wide and Kakashi thought, 'I really hope that was a fluke, because that could have killed any shinobi under a B-rank.'
Kakashi heard Kanari call out, "Utakata" (Ephemeral, also I know this is used by Itachi and I looked it up to see if it was Sharingan specific and nothing I saw said it was so I'm just using it here for a genjutsu that would put someone to sleep since I couldn't find any other. If someone knows one and could send me a pm with it I'll change it to that) and began to feel sleepy and before he could break the genjutsu he passed out.
Kakashi woke up when Kanari released the genjutsu and when he opened his eyes he saw that he was tied to a post with the bells being dangled in front of him by Naruto. He also saw everyone else standing behind Naruto each with their own smirk. Kakashi sighed and said, "I knew I should have gone with a different test since you three would immediately see through it." He gestured to Naruto, Tenshi, and Kanari as he spoke.
"That's what you get for being lazy aniki." Naruto said smugly.
Sakura then asked, "So do we pass then sensei?"
"Hai you all pass but do you mind explaining your plan?" Kakashi replied.
"Fine aniki." Naruto said before continuing, "The plan was for Sasuke, Tenshi, and Kanari to go in and fight you hand to hand while Sakura sent kunai after you for ranged support. I was waiting in the trees for a chance to provide ninjutsu support combined with Sasuke's fireball. I was hoping that my wind would just make his attack faster, the fact that they combined was pure luck. We were then counting on Kanari-chan to cast a genjutsu on you since that's her strongest suit to put you to sleep."
"That's extremely simple when you say it like that." Kakashi said with a sigh.
"Yep, now we'll see you later Kakashi-nii" Naruto said cheerfully.
They all started to walk away and Kakashi yelled, "HEY AREN'T YOU GOING TO UNTIE ME?"
"YOU'RE A NINJA AREN'T YOU?" Naruto shouted back with Tenshi and Kanari laughing at Kakashi.
"MEET ME AT THE HOKAGES OFFICE TOMORROR AT NINE." Kakashi yelled out.
Kakashi then sighed and struggled to get on of his kunai and when he got it he cut the ninja wire causing him to drop to the ground. He then shunshined to the Hokage's office to deliver his report. When he arrived, Sarutobi said, "Nice of you to join us Kakashi."
"Yeah, sorry I'm late Hokage-Sama, this time I was literally tied up." Kakashi said with a huff.
"No matter, now everyone give me your reports." The Hokage commanded.
"Team one fail."
"Team Two failed miserably."
"Team Three failed, they wouldn't last one minute outside the village."
"Team four failed."
"Team five failed, give them another year and they can do it."
"Team six failed; don't even get me started on them."
"Team seven passed." Kakashi said causing everyone but the Hokage to look at him in shock.
Before any interruptions could happen, Sarutobi motioned for Kurenai to go next. "Team eight passes, they are a little rough around the edges but otherwise did great." Kurenai said.
"Team ten passed; while their nothing like their fathers right now they did fantastic once they started working together." Asuma said between puffs on his cigarette.
"Very well, all of you but Kakashi are dismissed." Sarutobi said.
When everyone left but Kakashi, Sarutobi motioned for him to sit down. Once he was settled the Hokage asked, "Now then Kakashi, how did they all preform?"
"When they worked together I felt as if I was fighting an S-rank between them all. Granted the fact that I was fighting against Kami-Sama and the Kyuubi and someone who was trained by them I feel as if that could have been far more dangerous. Also Naruto and Sasuke pulled off a collaboration jutsu on their first try but according to Naruto it was pure luck which I can believe, it has happened in the past. Sakura didn't do a lot but provide ranged support so I'm not sure how to gauge her but I can say they all will go far." Kakashi explained.
"Alright then Kakashi, you may go now so I can fill out all the paperwork." Sarutobi said with a tired sigh.
As Kakashi turned to leave Sarutobi called out, "Oh one more thing Kakashi, during the finals of the chunin exams if your team is there we are going to announce his heritage to the public. Make sure he knows."
"Hai Hokage-Sama." Kakashi replied before heading back home for a good night's rest.
