well heres the next chapter of Naruto: Rewind. first i want to thank everyone who reviewed, and give a special thanks to narjiro, as he has given a review for every chapter, also lanoffire, he has given several suggestions that i will probably use in the furure. now deathmvp, i was planning on this story being original, so i will probabaly do something similiar to that. also a couple people thought samui from kumo should be paired with naruto, but iv never seen her in naruto so if i do use her, she would probabaly be way OOC. but on to the story.
i dont own naruto.
"oh, and you have till noon." he said as he pulled out a alarm clock, and set it down on a stump. "now if your going to have any chance of getting a bell, you must come at me with the intent to kill." he said, getting shocked looks from Sakura and Sasuke, although Sasuke tried to hide it, and a bored look from Naruto. "begin!" he said and they all disappeared.
Kakashi looked around "well they have hiding down, especially that Uzamaki kid." Kakashi thought
Sasuke was currently hiding in tree about 200 yards away from Kakashi, and was trying to come up with an attack plan, "whatever I don, ill need a distraction, after all, he's jounin level, I'm only a genin." Sasuke thought, then went to find someone to be a distraction.
"Sakura was hiding in some bushes, about 100 yards from where Kakashi was, "I need to find Sasuke, I bet he will already have the bells when I find him!" Sakura thought energetically, then leapt off inot the woods to find Sasuke.
Naruto was sitting underneath a tree in training ground 12, as he had his clones watching Sasuke, Sakura, and one taking his place. "hmm, I wonder if I can get them to work together to pass?" he thought as he disappeared in a swirl of blue flames.
Naruto landed beside Sasuke, who was watching Kakashi. Sasuke jumped and looked at Naruto. "what are you doing here?" he asked, "look Sasuke we need to work together." Naruto said. "humph, I can get the bells on my own." he said, and was about to leave.
Naruto grabbed Sasuke's arm, "Sasuke just think about it for a second, has there ever been a three man team in the history of Konoha? No, there hasn't, which means, he either passes us all, or fails us all."
Sasuke thought about for a second, then sat back down, "ok, then whats this test about?" Sasuke asked
"well, I think it's a test to see if we can work together to accomplish our mission, that's why he tried to pit us against each other." Naruto said intelligently.
Now that Sasuke thought about it, it would make sense, "ok, so the whole point of this is teamwork, then we need to find Sakura, and come up with a plan." Sasuke said, after thinking it over for a second. Naruto nodded, and they both took off through the woods to find Sakura.
Sakura was currently running through the woods, when she heard "Sakura, h-help." Sakura paled, and ran as fast as she could towards where she heard the voice come from. As soon as she ran into the clearing she froze, there was Sasuke, beaten and bloody on the ground, with kunai and shuriken sticking out of him. So what did she do? She fainted.
Kakashi appeared on a tree branch looking down at her, "Lesson one, genjutsu. hmm, and she was supposed to be the best in her class at genjutsu." Kakashi said to himself, then went off in search of his other students.
"Hey look there she is!" Naruto stated when he spotted Sakura lying on the ground. "I wonder what happened to her?" Naruto asked Sasuke, only receiving a grunt in reply.
"What ever it was, we need to wake her up." Sasuke said, then reached out and shook her. Getting no response he shook her harder.
"hey, stop, I got a way to wake her up." Naruto said as he made a handsign and shot a small stream of water at her. Making her jump up.
"huh, what h-happened?" she asked as she looked around, her eyes then landed on Sasuke and she pointed at him, "B-but, you were, a-all bloody, and l-looked dead." she said shakily
"What are you talking about Sakura?" Sasuke asked confused.
"She was probably under a genjutsu." Naruto stated, "Sakura, are you hurt?" he asked.
She took a second to process that she was under a genjutsu, and that Sasuke wasn't dead, after she recognized Naruto's question she shook her head, "No, I'm fine." she said as she got up.
"Ok, well we need to find a decently hidden place, and come up with a plan." Naruto stated as he got up and was about to take off into the woods.
"Wait, who made you leader?" Sakura said angrily, "I mean Sasuke should be the leader, he's better suited for it anyway!"
"well, does sasuke have a plan that will let all of us pass?" Naruto asked, then looked at her expectantly.
She just looked at him, then back at Sasuke, expecting him to say yes, but he just shook his head. Then followed Naruto into the woods.
Sakura quickly followed Sasuke into the woods.
When Naruto got to where he was looking for, he then walked over to a fairly large tree, and dropped down into a whole next to the base of it, that was mostly hidden by the tall grass, and tree roots.
Sasuke shrugged and followed him in, and Sakura followed him.
"hey Naruto, where are we?" Sakura asked as she looked around. It was a relatively small cave, about 10x10 feet, and it was only about 6 foot deep. the only light came from the whole they had just came through.
"Well I found it earlier, when the exam started." Naruto stated, he couldn't really tell them that he found it 5 years in the future now could he.
Sasuke thought it was a little suspicious that he would of found it, as it was at least 700 yards away from where they started, but he kept his mouth shut, they had more important things to do. "ok dobe, whats this plan you have that we can all pass?" Sasuke asked, no more of demanded.
Naruto ignored that he was being basically ordered around, "Well this is what were going to do…" he said, then laid out his plan for them.
"Ok, I think it will work and we will get the bells, but that doesn't explain how we will all pass." Sasuke stated questioningly.
"Well just leave that part to me." Naruto said, as he knew when Kakashi saw them working together they would pass. "Ok, lets go, its almost noon." sasuke and Sakura nodded, and they all exited the cave, and headed towards where kakashi was.
Hm, its almost noon, I wonder when they will attack, or mabey they just gave up." Kakashi thought with a sigh, he had now already read all the way through his book, and started over. Just as he was about to turn the page and twig snapping caught his attention, he turned and looked at where the noise came from, but couldn't see anything, so he reached out his senses, and sure enough, there was a chakra signature hiding behind a tree, Sakura's by the strength of it. He then turned as he sensed someone else beside him, and rolled to the side just in time to avoid a kick to the face from Sasuke.
Sasuke had snuck up on Kakashi while he was focused on where Sakura was, and if it hadn't been for Kakashi's years of combat experience, he would have had him.
"Ahh, so using Sakura as a distraction, good thinking Sasuke." kakashi said offhandedly.
Sasuke smirked as he ran towards Kakashi, he went for a leg sweep, but Kakashi jumped over it, Sasuke the tried to hit Kakashi in the stomach with a fist, but Kakashi blocked it, and then did a back flip and landed on his feet.
Sasuke then charged again, throwing shuriken at Kakashi as he ran towards him, Kakashi pulled out a kunai and blocked all of the shuriken, then Sasuke was on him, he ducked a round house kick, the sidestepped a punch, ducked under another, then jumped over a leg sweep. that's when he saw Sasuke smirk and go through hand signs at a surprisingly fast rate for a genin, "Firestyle grand fireball jutsu!" Sasuke said and launched a fairly large fireball at Kakashi, and it connected, but when the flames died down there was a log in his place. "Substitution!" Sasuke thought angrily.
Kakashi appeared behind Sasuke, who quickly turned around, but before could react he kicked him in the chest, sending him flying into a tree.
Then Sakura ran at Kakashi and went for a direst punch to his stomach, but when he dodged, she couldn't stop her momentum and ended up on the ground.
Kakashi quickly pulled out a kunai and blocked the hail of shuriken and kunai that came at him from the tre line, he looked to see who threw it and saw Naruto running at him. He ducked under a spin kick, then rolled out of the way of a punch to aimed for his face.
Naruto darted forward and went for a palm strike to the face but it was blocked, he then tried a series of punches, all of which were blocked.
Sasuke seeing Naruto had Kakashi distracted, snuck up behind him, and reached for the bells, but at the last second Kakashi sensed him and jumped into the air.
Naruto thinking quickly, "Sasuke fireball, now!" Sasuke was confused for a second, but did it anyway and launched a medium size fireball at Kakashi. Naruto who had finished a set of his own handsigns pointed his hand at Kakashi, "wind style great breakthrough!" Naruto said as he shot a giant gust of wind in Kakashi's direction, strengthening the fireball, tripling it in size.
Kakashi's eyes widened, he had been ready to dodge the smaller fireball, but wasn't sure if could dodge the larger one. He rolled his body to the side, going into barrel roll, as the fireball passed within inches of him, slightly singeing his clothes.
As soon as he landed, Naruto charged at him, he went for a flying kick, but Kakashi sidestepped it and tried to grab Naruto's foot, but Naruto rolled to the side to avoid Kakashi's hand. He then tried to do a roundhouse kick into Kakashi's chest, but it was caught, Kakashi then punched Naruto in the stomach, but to his surprise 'Naruto' dispersed in a cloud of smoke. "Iv been fighting a shadow clone this whole time?" Kakashi thought surprised.
He didn't have time to ponder on it however as Sasuke charged at him, he ducked under a snap kick, then blocked a few punches, then tried, and connected with a back hand fist to Sasuke's chest sending him flying a few feet.
He then grabbed a hand that went for the bells, it was Sakura, he then blocked a spinning kick, and threw her a few feet away.
He sighed, but had no time to relax as he rolled to the side to avoid a few small fireballs that Sasuke launched at him. He then blocked a kick from Naruto, and a punch from Sasuke, he then caught Sasuke's fist, Naruto went for a roundhouse kick to his chest which he blocked, still holding on to sasuke, who tried for the bells, but was thrown away at the last second by Kakashi. Who blocked a kick from Naruto, then grabbed a punch meant for his stomach, then went for a punch to Naruto's face, who caught it.
Just then another Naruto leapt out from the forest, and ran towards him, realizing Naruto's plan was to let his clone get the bells, he let go of Naruto's fist, but then before he could move, Naruto grabbed his hand.
In a desperate attempt to get free, Kakashi jumped up into the air and spun, forcing Naruto to lose his grip enough for him to escape. They both landed gracefully on there feet. Kakashi eye smiled "That was good, you almost had me." it was then he saw Naruto smirk. He was confused for a second but then Naruto raised his hand up and pointed to Sasuke, who was smirking and holding the two bells.
Kakashi was dumbstruck, "B-but, when?" he asked.
"When you jumped up, after I lost my grip I grabbed them and tossed them to Sasuke, and since they were jingling the whole time you were in motion, you didn't notice they were gone.
Kakashi smirked, this was not only the first time a genin team had worked as a team to pass his test, but it was also the first time anyone had gotten a bell.
"Well don't, now you have to decide who passes, and who fails." kakashi said as he sat down to rest, and to read his book.
Sasuke tossed Naruto one of the bells, who looked at it for a second, then tossed it to Sakura, who looked confused, "But Naruto, you and Sasuke got the bells, I should go back to the academy, not you." she said then tossed it back to Naruto, who caught it and tossed it back, Sakura caught it and gave him a frustrated look, and tossed it back, Naruto caught it and tossed it back, she caught it and got a little upset, and threw it at his face, he caught it and threw it back, she caught it and tossed it back to him, he then caught it and looked at it for a second. Sakura smirked she had won! That is until Naruto threw it to Sasuke Sasuke just looked at him like he was crazy, as he grinned.
Kakashi then stood up and chuckled, "Hmm well you don't have to decide who goes back, as you all pass." he said with an eye smile.
They all just Sasuke and Sakura just face-falted while Naruto grinned.
"B-but Kakashi sensei, why do we all pass?" Sakura asked
"Well this test was about teamwork, and weather or not you all could work together, even when pitted against each other." he said
"So in other words getting the bells were pointless, as long as we worked as a team we would of passed?" Sasuke asked aggravated tone.
"Yep." Kakashi said with an eye smile. "Well that's all for today, meet back here tomorrow at 7 and we will start missions and training."
"So by 7 you mean 10 right?" Naruto asked with a smirk as Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke without answering.
"well see you guys tomorrow." Naruto said as he turned around and started to walk away.
"buy Sasuke, Naruto." Sakura said as she turned around and headed home, surprising both Naruto and Sasuke that she didn't ask Sasuke for a date. "after seeing how much farther ahead of me they are, I really need to start training seriously. After all, sasuke wouldn't want to be with a weak girl." Sakura thought on her way home. She was determined to get stronger, even if that meant giving up on Sasuke.
well thanks for reading, review and tell me what you think!
