Everyone: =w= ….

Kikiyo: WELP! LETS GET THIS STORY STARTED!

Chapter 8: Hatake Kakashi

" OK… Let's begin with some introductions." Sensei started. We had left the classroom for a more spacious place to just talk… "What do you want to know?" I asked suspiciously. "How about… Your likes, dislikes… Dreams for the future, hobbies, stuff like that." "Hey hey. Why don't you introduce yourself to us first?!" asked Naruto. "This feels like an awkward first date questionnaire sheet but you do look a bit suspicious…" I continued. "Oh… Me? My name is Hatake Kakashi. I have no desire to tell you guys about my likes and dislikes. Dreams for the future…? Hmm… well, I have lots of hobbies…" "Nice name." I replied, just to be nice. "Thanks. Now it's your turn, from the right" Naruto. "My name is Izumaki Naruto. I like Cup ramen! What I like even more is the restaurant ramen Iruka Sensei buys me and the ramen Kikiyo makes! What I dislike is waiting 3 minutes for the cup ramen to cook." I blushed slightly when Naruto mentioned me. He kept re adjusting his headband, and I had the urge to retie it for him. So I did. "Uhh… Thanks Kikiyo. My dream… is to surpass Hokage! And then… have all the people of this village acknowledge my existence!" he continued, "Hobbies… Pranks I guess." "Next." Kakashi-sensei said as he scratched his head." My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are tons of things I dislike but I don't really like anything. And… I don't want to use the word "dream" but… I have an ambition, the resurrection of my clan and… to kill a certain man." Said duck butt- I mean Sasuke. "Ok…next" was all Kakashi said. "Soooo. All you want to do is mate with someone. Great. Have fun with that." I said. "I'm Kiyosara Kikiyo. What I like… fighting, reading, taking bath, relaxing, all types of tea, most sweet food, cheesecake, ramen, most Japanese food with the exception of sushi, and messing with people's minds. What I dislike… people who piss me off, when there is no tea, bugs, twizzlers, when there is no more candy, when there is no more hot water for my baths, and when I'm stressed My dream… I choose to remain silent on that." My hobbies include reading, writing, cooking, training, and sleeping." I ranted. "Ok… that was long. Lastly, the other girl." Replied Kakashi. "M-My n-name is… A-Anemoi D-Danielle…" Danny quietly stuttered. Being so close to her I think I was the only one able to hear her. Until she got to a certain part. "M-my dislikes… they i-include two ve-very hateful p-people." She said it louder than the rest but still tripped over a few words. "OK! That's enough of that. We will start our duties tomorrow."

"Yay! What kinds of duties?! Duties! Duties!" Naurto asked enthusiastically. "first we are going to do something with just the four of us." Kakashi replied calmly. "what?! What?!" Naruto pushed. "Survival Training." He replied simply. "Survival training? How is that a duty? We did a lot of training at eh Ninja Academy!" Naruto cried. "I'm your opponent, but this isn't normal training." Kakashi explained, and started to laugh. "Of the 27 graduates, only 9 will be chosen as Genin. The rest will be sent back to the academy. This training is a super difficult exam with a failure rate of over 66%!" he laughed. "WHAT THE HELL?! But we worked so hard… then what we the point of graduating." Naruto screamed I smiled inwardly, I knew he was lying. I don't know how I knew… but his demeanor was different somehow, even if just slightly. He was lying to us without even blinking. My mother used to say that you could tell when people were lying by looking at their eyes. I never understood that, but at this moment I knew he was lying. "Oh… that? That's just to select those that have the chance to become Genin." Explained Kakashi-sensei. "Uhh… What?!" Ignoring Naruto, Kakashi continued, "Anyway, tomorrow you will be graded on the training field. Bring all your Shinobi tools." He stood up, as if to leave. "Oh and skip breakfast, you'll throw up." He added almost like an afterthought. He handed us a few sheets of paper and said, "The details can be read on this printout. Don't be late tomorrow." I quickly canned over the words, thanking myself for taking Japanese in school and know a little Chinese already. That night, Naruto was so absorbed in image training with a motion-less Kakashi doll, that he almost forgot to eat dinner.

The next morning, I quickly made something light to eat and started eating. Naruto rushed out of his room and stared at me. "Didn't Kakashi-sensei tell us not to eat anything?" He asked me in disbelief. "I've suffered many things which could've made me throw up my pretty sure I'll be fine. Besides, it's very unhealthy to not eat breakfast." I said simply while thinking about every single rollercoaster ride I've ever been on. Around 9:30, I left the house, Naruto already far ahead of me. I think the printout he gave us said 9… and I was late but that should be fine right? I started to swing the lunch I had packed for both me and Naruto, then remembered myself and stopped. Showing up late, huh? Yea… just a bit I'm almost there after all. I see. You have a new mission. … What is it this time? You MUST pass this test. I hopped onto a tree and started jumping branch to branch towards the meeting site, near the site I saw Kakashi-sensei lying on a branch with a book out. He was reading it and laughing quietly to himself. I jumped beside him, "What are you reading? Ichi… Ichi…" I read out loud. He quickly closed the book and hid it. "Why aren't you with everyone else?" he asked, flustered. "Oh. 'Cause I was making lunch." He looked at me bewildered. "So are we going to meet up with everyone else or are we just going to keep them waiting?" I asked. Sighing, he said "Let's go."

Reaching, Danny, Naruto, and Sasuke, we both said "Hey guys, good morning!" Naruto yelled out "You're late! Both of you!" Sasuke looked at us impatiently and Danny was saying a quiet, "G-Good morning." We moved to a clear field just outside a forest-like scenery. "Ok. It's set for noon." Kakashi said as he put down an alarm clock. "Here are three bells. Your task it to take these from me before noon." He explained while showing us 3 small bells. "those who cannot get a bell by noon… get no lunch. I'll not only tie you to one of those stumps but I'll eat in front of you. Both Naruto and Sasuke looked hungry, while Danny looked fine, I guess she also ate some breakfast. "You only need to get one bell. There are only three so one of you will defiantly be tied to a stump. And… the person who doesn't take a bell fails. So, at least one of you will be sent back to the academy. You can even use your Shurikens. You won't succeed unless you come at me intending to kill." I thought about my giant throwing star I hid behind my back, and remembered finding it after Naruto passed his test. "You're so slow you can't even dodge a black-board eraser! We'll kill you!" Naruto mocked. "In the real world, those with no talent often bark the loudest. Well, ignore Mr. Dead last and start when I say…" Before he could say anything else, Naruto grabbed one of his weapons and took aim at Kakashi-sensei. Seeing that, I also took one out, knowing what Kakashi-sensei would do next. Naruto's hand was stopped by Kakashi-sensei and his head was brought forward, his hand now aiming for his own neck. I quickly jumped in Kakashi-sensei's back and put my weapon against his neck while Danny had one on the other side of his neck. "Let go of him, please." I asked politely. "Slow down… I haven't said start yet. Well it seems like you all are prepared to come at me with intent to kill. So you've finally acknowledged me? Hehehe, seems like I'm beginning to like you guys. Ok, let's get going. Ready…" he said as he let go of Naruto, Danny and I both relaxed and I jumped off his back. "Start!"

Kikiyo: Phewww =w= I knew you should never start a day without breakfast.

Naruto: *stomach growls?* food…. Please…..

Kikiyo: *smiles* nope. This is what you get for calling me lazy.

Naruto: *falls on the ground*

Kikiyo: …. *sits on him*

Danny: ! O_O y-you a-are going to k-k-kill him!

Gaara: If I sit on him…. can I get a cookie?

Kikiyo: …. I'll give you a cookie. If you sit on him that is.

Gaara: *Sits on Naruto* cookie.

Kikiyo: *Gives him a small jar full of cookies*

Gaara: yay!

Naruto: *dead*

Kikiyo: WELL! SEE YOU IN THE AFTERLIFE! I MEAN NEXT TIME!
