Well, here's the next instalment. This entire Chapter is covering events of the Cell of Sasuke, Sakura, and Neji under the leadership of Kakashi, but mostly Sasuke. I'll only be doing various events, but a while back someone mentioned that I should write this story to be friendly to those who haven't seen as much Naruto as I, so this chapter is being made to do just that. Also I will be including various scenes of interactions between Sasuke and NAruto that I havn't put in the story yet. Assume they take place at random points throught the story so far.. Enjoy.
Chapter 41: Kakashi's Team.
Sasuke had just left class after being assinged a cell to join. He wanted to just get specialized training from the Jounin so the others wouldn't get in his way. He was walking through an alley to his house so he could rest up for tomorrow, but then he noticed something odd, a trip wire.
The new Genin simply jumped it, only to here a laugh, "too bad, looks like I'll have too take you down the hard way."
"What do you want dead last?" Sasuke said as Naruto walked up the alley.
"I'm gonna kick your ass right here you pretentios bastard," Naruto said confidently pointing at Sasuke.
"Please, I'm top in the class, there is no way you could beat me Naruto," smiled Sasuke getting into his fighting stance, "but if you really want to fight I'll be happy to beat you here."
"Bring it on," replied Naruto. Sasuke Charged in and landed a punch square on Naruto's chest. However it poofed into smoke as the real Naruto jumped out from behind a garbage can putting Sasuke in a full nelson.
"But that body felt real?" Sasuke said surprised, "how could you use such a high level Jutsu?"
"Because I'm the greatest Ninja here," smiled NAruto, "and there is no way you can beat me."
Sasuke only smiled as he twisted out of the Neslon, "KAton! Grand Fireball Jutsu!" said Sasuke, breathing a large Fireball at NAruto. Naruto was laying burnt on the ground.
"Crap, that was strong," Naruto gasped.
"As I said, you can't win against me NAruto," Smiled sake until he heard Naruto say something.
"Kage Bushin No Jutsu!" and ten Naruto's appeared.
"Must have used the seals while concealed in the smoke," Sasuke said to himself as he jumped back avoiding an attack from Naruto.
"Don't think I'll lose to you Sasuke!" yelled the Narutos, but before the fight could continue a voice came from behind NAruto.
"Naruto you Baka!" yelled Sakura hitting Naruto. The clones dissapeared afterwords.
"Sakura-Chan!" whimpered NAruto, "I'm sorry, but I wanted to show Sasuke I could beat him."
"Don't be stupid!" She screamed, "It doesn't matter how many of those clones you make! You can't hurt Sasuke with them."
"Those weren't regular clones," they heard Sasuke say, "Naruto created real bodies, is this the technique you learned when you stole the scroll of forbiden Jutsu?"
"Yep, and if I had more than a day I probably could have learned some more," Smiled Naruto.
Sakura wanted to yell at naruto for using forbidden Jutsu, but she was only stunned. Naruto could create real bodies to fight, not regular clones. Was he really this strong?
"Doesn't matter though," sasuke said, "I'd never lose to you dead last."
"Shut the hell up Sasuke!" yelled NAruto.
Sasuke walked off ignoring Sakura yelling at Naruto for fighting with Sasuke. When the hell did he get so much power? Sasuke thought, Could Naruto have really beat me there?
Neji, Sakura, and Sasuke had passed their test a while ago and had been going on various missions. Sakura had been following Sasuke around for a while now. Neji just plained ignored his team mates and sensei as much as he could. Mostly when actually training they did it by themselves. Sakura, however finally asked Sasuke something one day that caught him off gaurd, "Sasuke, why is it your always so distant from everyone?"
At first Sasuke answered like he normally would, "Because you'll only get in the way of my training.
"That's not what I mean," She said almost worried, "you seem preoccupied with something, determined to do something wrong."
"I want to become strong enough to kill a certain person," Sasuke said.
"But why?" asked Sakura again.
Sasuke was annoyed at this point and responded, "He did something wrong and now he must pay for it, for I am an avenger."
"Sasuke, if thats really what you want, I'll do what I can to help you be stronger," Sakura said. Sasuke froze then, most people looked at him weird when they heard him say that, but she seemed to actually be willing to help. So he decided that he would allow her too, and from then they trained together occasionally when Sasuke saw fit.
It started as a simple C Rank mission, protect a guy from bandits. There were a large number of them attacking at once, Neji and Sakura were down the road a ways with the client and Sasuke and Kakashi were gaurding the rear. IT was quite a large group of bandits. Ten were back here, a few more up front that the others were handling. Sasuke for most of the fight was fighting alone, and somewhere along the line his eyes changed, revealing his ability to use Sharingan, a Blood limit known to the Uchiha Clan.
Sasuke smiled as the enemies were very easy to beat at this point. However one stepped forward and smiled, "I knew it be a good Idea to tag along for a while with these whimps. Havn't fought a ninja for a while," he smiled charging in. Needless to say Sasuke got his but kicked badly, and when he looked up the man was about to kill him, until he heard a large chirping like sound and saw Kakashi had pulled up his headband revealing a Sharingan of his own, and his hand full of lighting. He pierced his hand through his opponents chest killing him. Sasuke was in awe at the power of this technique and asked Kakashi to teach him, but Kakashi refused, saying it was to advanced for Sasuke.
Sasuke seen Naruto in the park after a while and stopped him, "Naruto, I have a question for you."
"What is it?" Naruto said not wanting to bother with Sasuke.
"Have you become stronger?" asked Sasuke.
"What?" Said Naruto confused.
"I remember that Jutsu of yours, the Kage Bushin. It was powerful then, but now are you stronger?" he asked again.
"Of course I am," Smiled Naruto, "Do you want to try me again?"
"Hm," Is all Sasuke could say. If Naruto kept growing he was afraid he might fall behind.
"Soon I would like to fight you seriously," said Naruto, "I'd like to see the strength of the top student."
"Fine, I'll fight you later," Said Sasuke smiling. While he didn't want to fall behind, he now felt a small bond with Naruto. Even though he never felt it before, it seemed to motivate him to become stronger.
"Sasuke," said Kakashi after the preliminaries of the Chuunin exams, "right now there is no one here who can beat Gaara. The only person who will be able to when the exams roll up is you, and I'll teach you the mmove to do it."
"Chidori?" Asked Sasuke.
"YEs."
This is only up until before the final exams. I didn't want to go into to much detail, only so that things later will make sense when I get to writing them. I hope you enjoyed.
