Sasuke and Sakura had been waiting for 2 hours, for Naruto and Kakashi. They did not know that Naruto was sleeping on a tree branch right above them even before they had arrived.

After 2 hours and 30 minutes of waiting, Kakashi finally appeared.

"YOU'RE LATE!" Sakura screamed making Naruto, who had just woke up, cringe.

"Where's Naruto?" Kakashi asked, ignoring Sakura.

"Here" Naruto said from behind Sasuke then wrapped his arms around him and placed his chin on his shoulder. Sasuke blushed a deep red and almost fainted.

It was silence for a while, with Sakura glaring at Naruto and Kakashi staring at Sasuke with a little bit of jealousy in his visible eye.

Then Kakashi placed an alarm clock on one of the three tree stumps."Ok, it's set for noon." Then he took out two bells. "Here are two bells, your task is to take these from me before the time's up. Those who don't have a bell by noon… get's no lunch. I'll not only tie you to one of those stumps, but I'll also eat right in front of you."

Two loud growls echoed around the area with Naruto grinning. He had read about this test on Kakashi's file and had already ate.

"You only have to get one bell." Kakashi continued, "There are only two, so one of you will definitely be tied to the stump. And… the person who doesn't take a bell fails. So at least one of you will be sent back to the academy. Anyway, start when I say. Ready…"

They all got ready except for Naruto who just stood there. "BEGIN!"

Sasuke and Sakura disappeared while Kakashi and Naruto remained behind.

"What's the matter?" Kakashi asked.

"Oh, nothing. Just wanted to try solo first before asking others to work together."

"Oh? So you already know the meaning of the test. That's good. So let's see what you can do."

Right after, Kakashi finished speaking, Naruto vanished from in front of Kakashi and appeared behind him in less than a millisecond.

Kakashi's eyes widened, 'He's faster than Gai.'

Naruto then wrapped one arm around Kakashi's shoulder while the other arm was wrapped around his waist. He then licked his ear and bit on it. When Kakashi turned around he quickly put his mask on and moved a bit backwards.

He then looked at something in his hand that had previously been wrapped around his waist. "Eh! So you read this book. I have the yaoi version written by Tsunade." He said then took out a book from one of his several pockets. He then slowed both books to Kakashi. When he saw the first book, he quickly checked his pocket to find it empty. He then checked the belt where he kept the bells and saw that they were still there.

"Give me my book back!" Kakashi demanded.

"Give me a kiss first."

"Eh!?"

"Don't worry, it can be mask to mask." Naruto assured Kakashi.

Kakashi blushed a deep red then took a deep breath. He then kissed Naruto on the mask his lips. Naruto grinned then gave the book back to Kakashi.

"Ok then, I will see you at the end of the test!" Naruto said, still grinning, then shunshined away.

Sasuke was watching the scene with jealousy and anger. He hadn't seen Naruto's face because Kakashi's head had been blocking it. Before Sasuke could do anything in anger, Naruto appeared in front of him.

"Yo" Naruto said.

Jealousy and anger momentarily forgotten, Sasuke blushed and looked at the ground. Then he heard Naruto speak again and looked up. He was looking through the space between the branches where he had previously been looking through.

"You can see Kakashi from her." Naruto said, looking at Kakashi who was still standing there. "Wow, you can see a perfect view of his whole body."

Sasuke, who was just staring at Naruto, soon snapped out of his daze and the jealously and anger came back tenfold. "Right." He said through gritted teeth. Naruto turned around sensing something wrong. "What's wrong?" He asked.

Sasuke turned his head towards the side and said, "Nothing." Naruto frowned then placed his hand on Sasuke's chin and turned his head towards him. "No need to be jealous. I am just following the saying I said. I enjoy my life to the fullest. If you get jealous every time I flirt with someone then you are going to be jealous forever. And if you stop me from enjoying my life then you are going to be on my list of 'never approach', right below girls." He said the last part with a serious expression.

With a horrified expression, Sasuke hugged Naruto tightly. "No, don't leave me. I won't tell you to stop but please look at me too."

Naruto heaved a sigh then tilted Sasuke's head upwards. He wiped the tears from Sasuke's eyes then caressed his cheeks. "I make time for all of my lovers, no matter how many I may have."

"Am I your lover?"

"If you want to be."

"Yes! I want to be! And um… can I see you face." Naruto shrugged then pulled his mask.

Sasuke gasped. There were scars on his face. There were three whisker-like scars on each cheek and a big vertical scar that crossed the three scars on his right cheek and still went up. Sasuke pushed Naruto's fringe to the side and saw that the scar crossed his eye, keeping it closed forever. Sasuke lightly touched the scars then softly kissed each one.

When Sasuke finished kissing each scar, he started to step back but before he could take a step. Naruto wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him closer. Sasuke blushed and looked down. Naruto placed a finger below Sasuke's chin and tilted his head upwards. He then kissed him. Sasuke's eyes closed slowly and he kissed back.

They parted when Sasuke needed air. Naruto could hold his breath for a very long time. Naruto caressed his cheeks then pecked his lips. He then hugged him.

Naruto then sighed and said, "Kakashi, come out. If you want to look, you can look in the open. Or if you want, you can even join in."

Kakashi stepped out of a bush, blushing. He cleared his throat and said, "The time is up."

"Oh, let's go then." Naruto said.

They made their way towards the place where they started and saw Sakura tied to one of the tree stumps..

"You guys failed the test." Kakashi said and was about to continue but got interrupted by Naruto.

"Actually we passed the test." He said then held out two bells. Kakashi checked his belt and saw that his two bells were missing.

"When did you take it?" Kakashi asked.

"I took it when I took your book. I also left a genjutsu."

'He got me by genjutsu, I have gone stupid.'

"And I also found this." Naruto continued and produced another bell. "That's three bells in total. One for each of us."

"You had an extra bell, Kakashi sensei." Sakura accused.

Kakashi rubbed the back of his head. "Ma, ma, I must have accidently put it there." He then laughed a nervous laugh.

"So we all pass, right?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, you all pass. So meet me here again the same time tomorrow to do your first mission." He said then vanished in a swirl of leaves.

Naruto freed Sakura from the ropes. The moment she was free, she asked Sasuke for a date.

"Sorry Sakura, but he's going with me." Naruto said wrapping an arm around Sasuke's waist.

Sakura turned to Naruto with a glare. "Who are you to decide for him?!"

"Actually, I am going with him."

"But, why?!"

"It's our first date, that's why." Sasuke said then turned around. Before Naruto left, he flashed Sakura a victory sign and grinned. Sakura who had previously been gapping like an idiot glared at Naruto.
