-No One's POV-

"Survival training?" Naruto asked.

"Why are we going to train when it's a mission? We had plenty of training at the academy," Sakura said.

"This is no ordinary training," Kakashi said.

"Then, then what kind of training is it?" Naruto asked.

Kakashi started to laugh to himself, a little too much though.

Sakura said irritated, "Hey, what's so funny, Sensei?"

Kakashi laughed again and said, "Well, if I say this, I'm sure you four are going to be surprised."

"Huuuh?" Naruto questioned.

Kakashi all of a sudden had a serious look and said, "Out of 27 graduates, only nine are going to become Genins. The other 18 will be sent back to the academy. In other words, this training is going to be a very hard test with a dropout rate of 66%."

Naruto had his mouth open wide, his eyes all white. Sakura looked depressed. Sasuke didn't move a bit, but he was surprised. Shiro was still standing in between the three and Kakashi, looking down and listening. Nothing fazed hat all.

"See? You four are surprised!" Kakashi said. 'Well, except for Shiro,' Kakashi thought.

"No way! I went through so much trouble...Then what was the final exam for?" Naruto yelled.

"That? It just picks out those who are qualified to become a Genin," Kakashi said.

"What?!" Naruto screamed.

"Anyway, I'm going to determine whether you pass or fail tomorrow at the training grounds. Bring your ninja equipment and meet at 5 A.M.!" Kakashi said.

'I'm not going to get dropped by a thing like this. I have to make him recognise my abilities, for real,' Naruto thought worried and determined.

'If I fail this test, I'm going to be separated from Sasuke-kun. This is trial of love!' Sakura thought worried.

Sasuke just tightened his grip on his hands.

"Now then, meeting over. Oh yeah, don't eat breakfast. You're going to throw up if you do," Kakashi said.

Sakura and Naruto looked surprised, Sasuke just glared, and Shiro just looked up.

It was 5 A.M., Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura walked from three different paths to middle where the roads were connecting. "Good morning," Sakura said rubbing her eyes tiredly.

"Hey..." Naruto said tiredly.

Sasuke just walked up.

"Where's Shiro?" Sakura asked. Shiro popped her head out from behind Sakura and said quietly, "Here." Sakura shrieked.

It started to get brighter outside while they waited.

They waited and waited...

And waited...

And waited...

"Hi fellows. Good morning," Kakashi said.

Naruto and Sakura both screamed, "You're late!"

Shiro just stood next to Sasuke.

"A black cat crossed my path, so..." Kakashi said.

Sakura and Naruto looked mad, Sasuke just glared, and Shiro just watched.

Kakashi coughed and said, "Let's move on..."

All four heads followed Kakashi's movements while he set a clock down. "Alarm set at 12 PM," Kakashi said, pushing the top button on the clock.

"Today's topic is to get one of these bells from me," Kakashi said, holding up three bells.

Welp, hope you liked! ^-^
