"Alright, we already know each other's names, and like, dislikes, and hobbies can be found out during team bonding," Kakashi said during the introduction for the team, having arrived just before Naruto got bored enough to trap the door and was thus in a better mood than he was. Team seven was still annoyed and unamused by him because he was still two and a half hours late. "So, why don't you tell me your dreams and we can see about getting you the training to achieve them."

"Well, I had this one dream involving a stadium sized bowl of ramen," Naruto said, getting smacked on the back of the head by Sakura.

Sasuke slowly gained a look of horror as he noticed Kakashi seemed to be considering the idea.

"I think we may be able to do that soon," He said, getting up and beginning to walk away in order to set it up. "In fact, I was going to give you a bell test tomorrow to test you. Instead, you three have a week to accomplish Naruto's dream. If you succeed, then I will take you on as my students. If you fail, it is back to the academy for you three."

Now, why would Kakashi allow such a change to his test? Well, for one he is a fool who did not realize that Naruto could pull such a crazy feat off on his own and giving him official indorsement would only encourage him. Two, he is lazy so this would give him a week to just lounge around and read his books. Three, he figured this would work just fine as a test of teamwork as well as the bell test.

This lead to one of the strangest events in Konoha to date.

Kakashi coming out of his room a week later with a haze of smoke following him as he tossed out a garbage bag full of used tissues. Well, ok, that was not the strange event. In fact, that was downright ordinary compared to most of the going ons in Konoha.

No, the strange event was that there was a large ceramic bowl now apart of the skyline near an equally large stock pot with a bunch of orange covered ninjas bouncing around the pot and the town gathering various materials while a loud screach from a pink haired girl directed the orange mob into a surprisingly effective unit and one black haired boy kept the fire under the pot hot and big with disturbing glee.

Kakashi stood there in surprise. He did not know anyone could even make an ornate ceramic bowl that big in a week, not realizing that team seven actually borrowed it from a shrine in the land of demons who were not using it anytime soon. The pot they got from the land of iron because a metalworker missread an order for a pot and made it too big and the offer of another nation taking the thing off their hands worked just fine for them so long as they got paid. The fact that as an officially sanctioned test of Konoha annoyed the Hokage, who was going to make Kakashi pay the village back for every ryo spent on this test he made up if it killed Kakashi and he had to be brought back to life to finish paying off the debt.

The merchants, as reluctant as some were to help Naruto, quickly started to help by giving discounts for the ingredients and tools needed for this strange project since it meant a lot of cash quickly. In fact, word spread about how much money the village was spending on food at the moment that merchants from all over headed their to sell their goods while the village was buying. The other villages tried to figure out what the secret reason the village would do this and cover it up as a simple genin test.
