Kikiyo: *smiles* I think we should leave them alone for a bit. So let's start the story.

Chapter 9: Kakashi's Conclusion

"The basics of a ninja are to hide yourself well." Kakashi looked around for us. Sasuke was hidden in a tree not far from Kakashi, and to the left of me. Danny was on the opposite side of me, also in a tree, and I hid deeper in the forest, perched on top of a small rock, preparing something "special" for Kakashi- sensei. Back where Kakashi was standing, I could hear him talking to Naruto. "Come and fight me! I said, fight me!" declared Naruto. "Umm…. You're a little bit off…" was Kakashi-sensei's reaction. "The only thing odd is your hair cut!" listening to their conversation, I concentrated my Chakra in the palm of my hand, and called out to something within me. The Ten-tailed fox, whose name turned out to be Jyuubi (A/N: it literally means ten tails) had once said I could summon him anytime I wished. I started chanting the words for the summoning Justu I did the hand movements and then said "Kuchiyose no Justsu" (A/N: means summoning Technique) "Jyuubi" A puff of smoke rose up and a fox appeared. It was half the height of myself; it looked like an arctic fox. It's piercing black eyes stood out amongst its white fur. Small blue lines swirling around its body, making it emit a blue glow. It sat in front of me patiently, all 10 tails standing up straight (A/N: This ten-tails is very different from the one in the anime or manga. I did not even know there was one already O_O yea I never really did read or watch Naruto that much…. Sorry…) after practicing many times, I had finally mastered summoning Jyuubi. "Ninja fighting lesson #1 Taijutsu I'll teach you about it. What's wrong? Hurry and come at me." I heard Kakashi-sensei say. "But… hey, hey?! Why do you have a book?" asked Naruto. "Why? Well, because I want to read what happens next. Don't worry about it. It won't make a difference against you guys." Kakashi-sensei answered simply."I'll beat you to a pulp! AHH!" Naruto cried angrily. "W-We sh-should w-work together…" I heard Danny's voice behind me. "Yea lets team up" I smiled. "Hidden leaf Ancient Taijutsu Supreme Technique… A 1,000 Years of Pain!" "GYAAAA!" I heard several cries. And Sasuke saying "Two total morons… pft" I walked back with Danny and Kyuubi and heard a large "splash", we got there just in time to see two shuriken flying at Kakashi-sensei., he didn't even look up and caught them with two fingers. "Ha ha ha ha." Naruto surfaced from the water coughing out water. "Hey what's wrong? If you don't get a bell by noon, no lunch." "I know that!" "You sure are weak for someone who's going to surpass the next Hokage." "Damn, damn! I can still fight on an empty stomach! I was just a little careless that's all!" "Ever hear the carelessness can be your worst enemy?" Just as I was about to make my move, more Narutos jumped out of the water "hah! My specialty, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! You better not get careless, there's more than one of me now!" They continued talking when all of a sudden, one of the Naruto's had caught Kakashi-sensei from behind, more held him down, but rather than trying to get a bell, Naruto tried to punch him. Oh, Naruto that was a stupid move. You could have gotten a bell and be free by now Kakashi-sensei used a body replacement Jutsu and had left Naruto long ago. Just then, Naruto spotted something near the tree, as he ran to grab it, a rope slung him up to the tree. I felt a bit sorry for him, being so gullible. Kakashi came back and retrieved the bell and Sasuke attacked Kakashi-sensei.

As it turned out it was actually a log. While Sasuke ran away and Kakashi chased after him, I threw a Kunai near him so that he could free himself. We chased after Kakashi-sensei, "I'm not the same as them" Sasuke told Kakashi-sensei. "The strength of the village's #1 the Uchiha clan… this should be interesting…" Sasuke was very close to getting a bell Kakashi-sensei didn't even bring out his book to read. As Sasuke breathed fire, Kakashi-sensei dragged him underground. Then Kakashi-sensei walked away, leaving him head above the ground. We walked towards Sasuke to take a better look.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! Look at you! This is too funny! My sides hurt!" I laughed he looked at me, upset. "L-let's go… I-it's almost l-lunch…" Danny started to push me to Kakashi-sensei. "You're right. Have fun duck butt-I mean Sasuke-kun" We walked to Kakashi-sensei. "Oh… so you two finally decided to try me huh? Was trailing me not fun enough?"He asked. All I did was smile. "Hey Kakashi-sensei? Can I call you Kaka? Its soooo much easier!" he looked at me surprised. "Uhhh… sure I guess…" he replied. "Thank you sooo much! In return... I'll give you… this!" I appeared behind him, kicking toward his head. He turned around, caught my leg, and Danny appeared behind him already in a back flip, forcing her tail up towards his groin area, as I used my other free leg to try and kick him once more. He caught my other leg and pivoted around the side I was on, just barely missing Danny's tail. I smiled at the fact that he caught my other leg; it was going according to my plan. I did a bridge while he was holding my legs, my arms stretching towards the bells, he held me a bit farther away from them, and while his attention was on me, Danny aimed her tail at his side. He dodged once again, and Jyuubi suddenly appeared beside him and bit off two bells for us. He padded over to Danny and handed both over to her. She threw one to me, and Kaka let go of both my legs. I did a flip before landing on both my feet. Good job. You have passed the test. Thanks. "Congratulations, you two have passed. Just in time too." The alarm clock started to ring. 10 minutes later, Naruto was tied to one of the stumps. Danny, Sasuke, and I sat on the ground and two lunches were placed in front of us. He looked at Sasuke and Naruto and said, "Oh… you guys look really hungry. By the way, something about the training… Well, there's no need for you guys to go back to the academy." Kaka started. "Then! Then! The two of us…!" Naruto said excitedly. Kaka smiled and said, "Yep, both of you… should quit as ninjas!" "Quit as ninjas?! What does that mean?! OK! OK! We couldn't get the bells but… Why do we have to quit?!" screamed Naruto. "Because both of you… are just punks who don't deserve to be ninjas." Sasuke charged at Kaka. "That's why you're a punk." He said while stepping on Sasuke. I reached behind me, and pulled out the windmill shuriken. I threw it at Kaka, he jumped up and landed back on top of Sasuke. Smiling I said, "Kaka. Although duck butt deserves this. It's not nice to step on my teammates." Because of the way I threw the windmill shuriken, it flew right back towards me, I caught it easily. I don't want to lose it after all. Kaka smiled at me, "You guys did not understand the answer to the test. The answer helps you pass the test.". "Teamwork, right?" I asked. "Yep. This test was purposely set up to make you fight amongst yourselves. The purpose is to see whether you can forget about your own interests… and successfully work together under these designed circumstances. Yet… you two… Naruto! You were just running around by yourself. Sasuke! You just assumed the others would get in your way and tried to do everything yourself. The duties are done by the tam. Of course superior individual ability is important to a ninja. But what's even more important is "teamwork." Individual play that disrupts the team can put your comrades in danger. And you can even get killed. For example… Danny! Kill Naruto! Or Sasuke dies!" Danny didn't bat an eye. "Ok then… how about this instead? Kill Naruto, or Kikiyo dies." He placed a kunai near my throat. She flinched slightly, worried about me. I smiled, not bothering to do anything. "You see? If a hostage is taken, you will have tough choices and then die. You will be risking your lives in these duties. Look at this." Kaka said while walking to a stone tablet, "The numerous names carved on this stones. These are ninjas who are recognized as heroes of the village. But… they aren't just normal heroes… they are all heroes who died while on duty. This is a memorial. My best friend's name is also carved here…" as he said this I felt sorry, for Kaka. "You guys… I'll give you one more chance. But after lunch, I'll make it even tougher to get the bells. Unfortunately, I only have two lunches so both Sasuke and Naruto do not get any." I raised my voice, "Kaka. I have my own lunch in fact, it's in this tree. So they can have my lunch." "OK. Sasuke, if you still wish to challenge me, you can eat lunch. But don't give any to Naruto. It's punishment for trying to eat by yourself. If anyone gives him food, they will fail immediately. Even if you have already passed. I am the rules here! Got it?" I jumped up and grabbed the lunches I packed. "Heh! I don't need any food. I'm fine!" Naruto cried as his stomach growled. I jumped back down and said, "Don't worry Naruto. I packed a lunch for you too." "B-but… Kakashi-sensei just said…" Naruto started. "Don't worry. I don't sense him near here. After lunch the two of us can work together and get the bells." I smiled and Sasuke handed half of his lunch over too. "Without food, he'll just be in the way, and that will only hurt the two of us." Danny also handed half of her lunch. I smiled and opened up his lunch, "it should be fine you two. I packed a lot for Naruto, he skipped breakfast after all. I fed him his lunch as both Danny and Sasuke finished theirs. Suddenly, a large amount of smoke appeared and Kaka's head came out, his eyes looking very weird. He was charging at us. "YOU GUYS...!"

"Pass (its supposed to be a heart here)" he said happily. Then he giggled.
