Chapter 2
We find Naruto walking around the base after getting back reporting to the hokage about Mizuki's capture.. Naruto also found out Reborn was involved with seeing said person in the room with a familiar smirk on his face. Reborn found out that Naruto failed the clone test along with Mizuki's plot and made a bet with the third that Naruto could beat Mizuki and keep the forbidden scroll safe then the third have to pay anything that Naruto buy for the next month. And he lost then Reborn will be the academy's tutor for anyone who needed help. The third agreed to the bet and he end up losing with Reborn winning. However, keeping the Vongola being real a secret was thrown out the window after Naruto shown Reborn a case with the Vongola rings in their sealed state like when Tsuna first started out with along a note saying how they ended up in the case. So, Naruto and Reborn had to tell the hokage the truth.
By the end, the third forgave them but he still had to punished Naruto by having the poor boy banned from eating at the ramen stand for two weeks. Naruto had to leave so that He could punished Reborn in anyway he could think of without the blonde knowing. Now we find Naruto walking into a part of the base that he never been in before. He didn't notice this change as he was looking at his Vongola ring for Sky on his ring finger. He only notice after walking right into a door. Naruto rubbed his face and soon looked at the door before opening it. It was an empty room with just eight tube like containers at the end of the room. Letting his curiosity get to him, he walked up to the containers and saw that six out of the eight were open with only two being closed.
"Hmm, maybe Reborn and the others were inside these," thought Naruto as he look at each containers with their names, "who is Colonello?"
As he keep looking at each container, before stopping to one that says Yuni and go to look who is person is. Naruto looked all over the container to see how he could open it and found a little hole on the right side of it. He tried to figure out where he saw that same hole before hearing someone yell from the open door. Naruto looked to see who it was and found a guy that looks to be a little older than Lal. The guy had blonde hair just like his own, blue eyes, and fair skin. He wears a white shirt under a green jacket with red wrist sleeves, green pants, black army shoes, and a green head band with a 01 attached to it.
"Move away from that container maggot," commanded the blonde haired man as he walks into the room to get a clearer look at Naruto.
"I was just looking at it," said Naruto as he hold his hands up.
"Wait, your that Naruto kid that Lal been training," said the guy as he remembered Naruto's description from Lal.
"Hey, how do you know who I am," asked Naruto.
The guy laughed and said that Lal told him before introducing himself as Colonello along with being Lal's boyfriend. This surprised Naruto before calling Lal a devil along with saying how does she has a boyfriend in front of him, to which Colonello got mad and made Naruto do 100 push ups. Not making Colonello anymore mad, he quickly did the push ups and suddenly feeling Colonello sit on his back as he does the push ups. Colonello started to ask Naruto what he's doing inside the room. Naruto answered that he wanted to know what was inside this room along with trying to figure out what that small hole is for. Colonello figured that he might be talking about the one on Yuni's container and said that it could only be open by Sky flames just like a box weapon. This made Naruto feel like hitting himself forgetting about the box weapons way of opening.
"I can't believe that I forgot about those," thought Naruto as he do his 50th pushup, "I mean come on, I have been using those boxes for years now!".
After Naruto had finally finished the pushups with Colonello, he went back to the container with this Yuni person inside and let the ring up with Sky flame. This surprised Colonello for Naruto knowing how to light the rings before watching the spiky blonde stick the ring into the small hole before pulling it away. The two watched as the container opened and Naruto could finally see who's inside. When it was fully open, it showed a girl that seem to be the same age as Naruto. She has mesh greed hair, fair skin, and a little tattoo under her left eye. She was also wearing a white mushroom like hat, white sun dress with white robes, and pink shoes.
"I didn't know that Yuni was a cute girl," thought Naruto as he controlled the blush on his face.
Yuni started to stir as Naruto stepped away, he thought that he'll let her have some room. Both Naruto and Colonello looked at the waking Yuni as said girl started to open her eyes. She blinked her eyes a few times to get the blurriness out to see who's in the room with her. She soon to start seeing Naruto and Colonello clearly and was a little confused at the two.
"Colonello is that you," asked Yuni as she slowly climbed out of the container while looking directly at Colonello.
"Yes, its me Yuni," answered Colonello as he goes and help her out.
After she was out, she looked at Naruto and then asked Colonello if the spiky blonde was his and Lal's child in an excited tone. This costed Colonello to blush out of embarrassment while Naruto shook his head while saying that he's not Lal's kid. This made the excited girl sad before Naruto introduced himself along with telling her that he's the Vongola Undecimo with a big grin. This got Yuni's attention as she didn't expect the Vongola to still be around, but before she could ask more she was interrupted by Reborn as he somehow appear behind Naruto and scaring the spiky blonde.
"Reborn stop doing that," said Naruto as he held his chest.
"As much as I enjoying scaring you," said Reborn as he get a glare from Naruto, "I think it times for you to train with me, Lal, and Fon."
"M-M-Maybe we should reschedule that," said Naruto as he quickly hid behind Yuni, "beside we should help Yuni get used to the base."
"Colonello can do that," said Reborn as he smirked as he see Naruto shiver.
Naruto tried to make an excuse to get away from the torture that Reborn will make him go through. However, he couldn't think of one as Reborn managed to knock him out and drag the unconscious blonde away while leaving Colonello with showing Yuni away the base for the time being. While also thinking letting the two watch Naruto get his butt handed to him.
-One hour later-
"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME REBORN," yelled Naruto as he dodged a shot from Reborn.
"You should be thinking this as real combat," said Reborn as he shot at Naruto again.
"NINJAS DON'T USE GUNS," yelled Naruto as he continue to dodge.
We find Sakura, Sasuke, Tenten, Lee, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, Lal, Fon, Colonello, and Yuni watching Naruto run and dodge as Reborn shoot at him with the transformed Leon. Choji was thinking that Reborn might really kill Naruto as Colonello and Lal were placing bets that Reborn will hit the spiky blonde with a mallet with Ino and Sakura betting that Reborn will smack him with a slipper. Yuni continued to watch even see Naruto making 25 copies of himself and tried to attack Reborn back. This amazed her as she never seen someone make copies of themselves. Sasuke kept watching the two movement with his newly awaken Sharingan while ignoring Lee's loud yelling of Youth. Before long, Reborn dispelled all of Naruto's clones and is waiting for the smoke to clear. He soon felt an attack coming behind him and turned in time to see Naruto trying to hit him with a pair tonfas covered in Sky flames.
"Tonfas this time," said Reborn as he dodged Naruto's attacks.
"Yeah, now hold still," said Naruto as he keep trying to land a hit on Reborn.
While Naruto tried to hit Reborn with the tonfa that are no doubt from a cloud box weapon, Naruto didn't notice a small orange flame on his forehead. Reborn is slightly impressed that Naruto is using the Sky flame's ability to open other box weapons. But, he could tell that Naruto isn't comfortable with using tonfas in a fight, he could see how far he is with training with them. Yuni continued to watch Naruto trying (and failing) to land a hit on Reborn while dodging the shots that comes his way.
"How come he's using tonfas to fight with," asked Yuni as she look at Fon.
"He's trying to find out if tonfas are his perfect weapon," answered Fon as he looked on, "but it seem that tonfas aren't his weapon."
Naruto growled in frustration and decided to put the tonfas away before quickly opening a box weapon in the Storm-attribute that contain a disk with moving razors in it and had it covered in Sky flames at Reborn. Lal smirked as Naruto was quick on his feet as the disk followed Reborn as said person try to shoot at the spiky blonde with said blonde moving as well. Naruto opened two more dark slicers and sent them after Reborn to distract him while he made five clones to help land a hit on the hat wearing tutor. Reborn was smirking as Naruto was using his head a little to do his best at landing just one hit on him. Before the training started, Reborn stated that the training would end if Naruto can land one hit on him or said blonde gets knocked out. So far, Naruto was improving and have lasted for more than an hour.
"Seem baka-Naruto is a better student than you no good-Tsuna," thought Reborn as he dodged the dark slicer and elbowing a clone in the face.
"The maggot is doing good against Reborn," said Colonello as he stand next to Lal, "even if Reborn is holding back that is."
"That just mean that he's really focus on his training," said Lal as she folding her arms across her chest, "but it seem I'll have to make him play shogi against Shikamaru more."
"Troublesome Lal," thought Shikamaru as he over heard Lal talking to Colonello.
Reborn quickly got rid of the clones and the dark slicers is now looking for his blonde student. It didn't take long to find him but, he did have to dodge an orange flame covered tail and watched said tail turned the spot he was standing at turn into stone. Looking at what attacked him and saw the same fox from so long ago but now with seven tails. He quickly looked at Naruto and saw the same bright orange flame on his forehead and orange eyes from back then too. Naruto soon ran at Reborn while telling the fox that he nicknamed Yoko to attack Reborn.
The fox did as she was told to do and started to throw orange fire balls at Reborn with her tails. Reborn dodged and tried to shoot at the animal box weapon with a Sun flame shot. However, that shot was soon countered with Sky flame shot from Yoko and somehow turn the yellow shot into stone. Reborn dodged the still continuing shot of Sky flames along with blocking a punch from the calm looking blonde. Reborn saw a smirk appear on Naruto's face before noticing Naruto quickly making his fist in Reborn hand to grab his waist. He soon saw Naruto cover his other fist in Sky flame like it was natural before going for a hit. Reborn quickly turned Leon into a slipper and went to smack the blonde. At the same time, Naruto punched Reborn in the guts with his Sky flame covered fist just as Reborn smacked Naruto in the face.
The two were sent flying into the two far walls and crashed into them. Fon smiled as he looked at Lal and Colonello the two's shocked faces as not only did they lost a bet against two little girls but also that Naruto managed to land a hit on Reborn. Those three were the only ones that saw what happened as the rest were confused. Yoko went back into the box as Reborn climbed out of the wall he crashed into just in time to see Naruto fall to the ground and started to roll on the floor while holding his face where Reborn smacked him.
"OW OW OW OW," this was all Naruto was saying as he rolled around on the floor.
"How is he not knocked out," asked a confused Tenten as she watched her friend continue to roll on the floor.
"It might be from how hard Reborn smacked him," answered an equally confused Ino, "the stinging might be enough to keep him awake."
"I'll go get the first aid kit," said Sakura as Sasuke went over to the pin down Naruto and try to make him stop moving.
"Seem he surpassed no good-Tsuna when it come to training," thought Reborn as he feel the slight pain from where Naruto punched him, "at least he doesn't have an issue of holding back at all."
Sakura came back with the first aid kit just in time to see Sasuke, Choji, Lee, and even Shikamaru pin Naruto down with each holding down a limb. Sakura could see that Sasuke and Lee were spotting bumps on their heads as a clear sign that Naruto had hit them hard enough to make the bumps. Sakura sighed as Ino and Yuni decided to help her treat the injured with Ino using a Sun box weapon to heal Naruto as Sakura treated Lee with Yuni treating Sasuke before going to treat Reborn. Lal and Colonello were now glad that they didn't bet on anything beside money to the two girls. Ino was the only one among them that had healing Sun flames while Reborn and Lee had destructive flames. And is always ended up healing Naruto after his harsh training when she's around. But it was always Sakura that would treat the injured when she wasn't injured herself after doing physical training with her trident and the combat mode of her eye that she and Reborn dubbed as "Mukuro's eye". While her combat level is just that of a mid Genin, her illusion as she now know is at a different level than genjutsu and that it can't be copied by the sharingan were be consider as high jounin.
-Time Skip: Team placement-
We find Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji all sitting in their classroom for one last time while waiting for Iruka to come just like everyone else. Naruto was still upset as two days before the team placement, Reborn decided to have him go meet his lightning guardian before coming to the base to meet the two people that would be joining the Vongola. To say the least, he wasn't expecting his lightning guardian to be Hinata Hyuuga and was a little glad that Reborn was there with him to explain things to the girl. Although, she did faint after hearing that she'll be around Naruto a lot to which the blonde having to caught the girl and was force to carry her to the base. When they got there Hinata woke up just in time to watch Kiba get his butt handed to him by Naruto in a short spar. The spiky blonde found out that both Kiba and Shino were going to join the Vongola with Kiba saying that he should be the one in charge instead of Naruto. After the short spar with Naruto, Kiba learned who's the boss was along with a heavy blow to his ego.
Now we find Naruto wearing a black open hoodie with a red swirl on the back along with a burned orange shirt under it with the Vongola's crest on it, black anbu pants, black shinobi sandals, his Vongola ring on his index finger, and his headband around his right arm. Sasuke is wearing his usual blue shirt with his clan symbol on the back but with the Vongola's crest on the sleeves, black shorts, blue shinobi sandals, and his headband tied to his forehead. Now Sakura is wearing a red shirt with a white cycle on the back, skin tight purple shorts that reach to her knees, blue shinobi sandals, her headband used as a ribbon to keep her hair up, and the Vongola crest around her neck in the form of a neckless. The others had wearing their normal shinobi clothes but with the Vongola crest sewed into their sleeves or in Ino's case sewed right above where her heart would be. Sasuke, Sakura, Ino, and Shikamaru had A-rank rings of their respected dying will flames with Shikamaru's being lightning. Choji, Shino, Kiba, and Hinata didn't get rings yet as they had yet to learn to do it.
"Hey Sasuke is it just me or does feel like people are looking at me," asked Naruto as could feel stares that didn't feel like the usual cold angry stares.
"I'll go with the second one," answered Sasuke as he pulled out a book to help ignore the stares from his fan girls.
Unknown to Naruto, some of Sasuke's fan girls were staring at him just like when they stare at Sasuke. However, most of them were glaring at Sakura, who was sitting between the two boys. Sakura simply ignored them and kept reading her book on illusions that is on the expert level with a smirk on her face while on an occasions, laugh as she was amused by what she read. Ino was pouting on the inside as she wanted to sit next to Naruto if it wasn't for the bet to which she lost against Sakura. The bet involved which of them will sit next to Naruto during the team placement, with them doing the most laps under the watchful eyes of Lal. At the end, Ino lost to the pink haired illusionist by two laps.
"This isn't fair," thought the pouting Ino, "how come I have to sit next to the lazy bum of a Nara."
Shikamaru was taking a nap, despite the amount of noise the other graduates were making in the room. Hell, he slept through his mothers yelling at his father for being lazy. Choji was busy eating his favorite potato chips, Kiba was talking to Akamaru, Shino was looking forward and sitting still like a statue, and Hinata was trying to not think about the fact that she'll be able to be around Naruto (without staking him) and might be able to be close to him. The reason she is trying to not think about it is so that she doesn't faint like last time and only to faint again after seeing Naruto's face close to her's.
As the graduated genins continue to talk among themselves, Iruka had walked into the classroom and ask them to quiet down. When the first attempt to tell them to be quiet failed, he went with plan b, being that he'll use his infamous big head jutsu on them. That did the trick as all of them shut their mouths and looked at him with their full attention. When the room was fully silent, he started to speaking a speech for a full two hours. At the end of the speech, some of the students had fallen asleep without Naruto falling asleep. That would be because he couldn't fall asleep knowing full well that Reborn is hiding somewhere in the room shooting rubble bullets at his unprotected forehead. Naruto hated the fact that Reborn knows about his fast healing and would shoot as many rubble bullets at his forehead just to keep him awake.
"Now, I'll call each team starting with team 1," said Iruka as he started to call the teams.
That was when Naruto zoned out for a bit to remember that Reborn never told him about his punishment from the third. He started thinking of all the possibility Reborn's punishment might be. There were some he laughed to himself and then there was one thought that he shivered. The thought was of Reborn being a sensei to his team, the very thought sent shivers down his spine. He was soon snapped out of his thought when Sakura pinched his cheek. He glared at her before looking at Iruka as he says team 7.
"For team 7 will be Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno," said Iruka as some of the girls protested, "and Sasuke Uchiha."
"THATS NOT FAR," yelled Sasuke and now Naruto's fan girls.
"Your sensei will be Kakashi Hatake," said Iruka as he ignored the girls as Naruto let out a sigh of relief, "and your co-sensei is named Reborn."
The moment Naruto heard Reborn's name, all colors were drain from him while also thinking that he heard Reborn somewhere in the room smirk. He even imaged Reborn with said smirk and a devilish twinkle in his right eye. While forgetting the fact that Reborn could read his mind, he got nailed right between his eyes by a piece of chalk and knocked him out before he even think about screaming. Iruka looked at the spiky blonde before going back to the team placements for the rest of the teams.
-Time skip: two hours after lunch-
"Why did the old man make you a co-sensei," asked depressed Naruto as he look at Reborn.
"Think of this as punishment from when you replaced his hokage robs with his bed rob," answered Reborn as he enjoy watching Naruto squirm.
"Reborn-san, don't torture Naruto-kun like that," said Sakura looking over her book just in time to see Naruto smile at her, "he like my torture method better."
Naruto went from smiling to glaring at her with a slight blush on his face as Sakura giggled in all too innocent tone. Sasuke sighed as he blocked the three out while making a house of cards out of four decks. All four has been waiting for Kakashi to show up as all the other teams had left with their sensei. Naruto was able to temporally forget that Reborn was there with Ino giving him a kiss on the cheek before she left with Choji and Shikamaru. Seeing that Sasuke and Sakura had something to keep them occupied, Naruto took out a newly made box weapon and release a small Sky dragon that he nicknamed Drake. He watched as he flew up and lay down on top of his head and slept. Naruto was doing a favor for Verde to see if the amount of flames put into the box weapon can change it back from when Naruto first opened Yoko's box.
"Your not really trying are you," asked Sasuke as he is getting close to finishing the house of cards.
"Verde never really did give me a deadline," answered Naruto with a grin, "so I can take my time."
"You always did look at the loopholes," said Reborn as he had Leon turn into a cane, "that is if you want to baka-Naruto."
"How long are you going to keep calling me that," yelled Naruto as he glare at Reborn.
"Until you're no longer a baka," answered Reborn as he then turn Leon into a gun and pointed at Naruto.
Naruto quickly ducked before Reborn could shoot at him. When he didn't hear anything, he poked his head out but to only get shot with water from a transformed Leon who is in a shape of a water gun with a smirking Reborn. Naruto growled and tried not to think of anything that could make Reborn kick him. However, his mind always has a say in what he think like calling Reborn a crazy tutor. Before he could recall what went through in his head, Reborn kicked him right toward the doors that were opening. The person on the other side didn't know what hit him after opening the doors until Naruto collided into the man's stomach.
"W-What hit me," said the man with grey hair that defy gravity from on the floor.
"That would be my student," said Reborn as he walked up to the two, "or I should be saying one of our students."
"You must be my co-sensei," said Kakashi as Naruto jumped to his feet and glared right at Reborn.
"Would you stop kicking me," asked an angry Naruto, "and stop reading my thoughts."
"Fufu, but I thought you like me kicking you baka-Naruto," asked Reborn in a tone that he knew would get under Naruto's skin.
"Why you little," was all Naruto said before feeling a light bunk on the back of his head.
"Don't fall for Reborn-san's trap Naruto-kun," said Sakura as she hold her close book on the blondes head, "that's Skull's job."
"Speaking of that log, he still owe me 4000 yen," said Sasuke as he remember the money that Skull owe him, "but you have first dibs on beating him Reborn."
"Why is that Sasuke," asked Reborn as the four left Kakashi confused and left out.
"He's the one that wasted your coffee," answered Sasuke with a sigh.
This didn't sit well with Reborn and looked at Kakashi and said that they should finish this meeting quickly in a commanding tone. Kakashi was going to say that his co-sensei can't order him around especially a kid but hold back on it since he feel like if he does say that, then he would be finding himself in the hospital. So he settled with just nodding his head and started to lead them to the roof.
-Location change: Academy's roof-
"All right, seeing that we're all here," said Kakashi as he lean on the rail, "lets introduce ourselves."
"Why don't you introduced yourself first sensei," said Sakura as she played dumb, "that way we know what to do."
"Why is she trying to play dumb," thought Naruto as Reborn shook his head at Naruto.
"All right, my name is Kakashi Hatake," said Kakashi as he introduced himself, "I have many likes and dislikes, I have some hobbies, and I'm not sure what my dream for the future is just yet."
"All we got was his name," thought Naruto in a disappointed way.
"Ok, your turn duckling," said Kakashi as he pointed at Sasuke while getting a laugh from Naruto and Sakura.
"Somehow I knew that was coming," thought Sasuke with an emotionless face.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha," introduced Sasuke as he rested his chin on his hands, "my likes are training, tomatoes, and the famiglia, I dislike fangirls very much, my hobbies are training and trying to beat a certain someone (cough Fon cough), and my dream is to find out the reason for clan death."
"Hmm, I would of thought that he go after his brother for revenge," thought Kakashi after what Sasuke had to go through, "but what in the world is a famiglia?"
"All right, your up next pinky," said Kakashi as she points at Sakura.
"Kufufufu, my name is Sakura Haruno," said Sakura as she look at Kakashi, "my likes are illusions, the famiglia, and tea, I dislike people that make fun of my hair color and having my fun being ruined."
"What about hobbies and dreams," asked a curious Kakashi as he see anything like a fangirl that other people say she was for Sasuke.
"Right, my hobbies are making much stronger illusion, hanging with my friends, and messing with Naruto in different ways," she said the last part with a smiles while getting a glare from Naruto, "my dream is to revive the arts of illusions and to be the master of said art."
"Ok, I think those files need to be rechecked as it seem these two aren't what people say they are," thought Kakashi as he soon looked at the last of the three.
"You're the last one spiky," said Kakashi points at Naruto.
"Wow, I never hear that before," said Naruto in a sarcastic tone, "just like fox boy, whiskers, blondie, and sun shine."
"Get on with it baka-Naruto," said Reborn as he smirked as Naruto glared at him.
"All right all right, my name is Naruto Uzumaki," said Naruto as he look away from Reborn, "my likes are Ramen, training, my friends, and the Familglia."
"There it is again," thought Kakashi as he mentally pulling his hair, "just what is famiglia?!"
"My dislikes are the three minutes that take for instant Ramen, people that can't tell the different between two things, I sometime don't like it when Sakura's messing with me, and getting on Reborn's bad side."
"Come on Reborn-san can't be that bad," said Kakashi as he doesn't know much about Reborn at all.
"Why don't you and Reborn train sometime," said Sakura as she smiled sweetly.
"I'll think about it," said Kakashi as he look at Naruto, "please continue Naruto."
"You poor soul," thought Naruto as he somehow heard a chuckle in his head as he thought that.
"My hobbies are training, finding my fighting style, and hanging with my friends, my dream is to become hokage so the people would see me as myself."
"At last, someone that I won't have to recheck," thought Kakashi as he was glad that he doesn't have to recheck on his three students.
"It's too bad that I can't give him Tsuna's gloves," thought Reborn as he remember all of Naruto's attempts, "even I don't know where they are."
As soon as Naruto finished introducing himself. Kakashi was going to have Reborn introduce himself when Naruto quickly told him that he, Sasuke, and Sakura already knows Reborn. Kakashi nodded and told Reborn that he'll get to know him later before saying telling them that they will be doing a mission. He was expecting to hear Naruto to ask him what it will be in an excited way. However, Naruto asked if it's going to be a survival exercise, to which caught Kakashi off guard and asked the spiky blonde how did he know. Naruto just shrugged his shoulders and said that he just had a feeling is all. Unknown to everyone, Reborn was smirking as Naruto had just used hyper intuition without knowing it at all. Hell, he is already thinking of ways to get him to use it much more through training.
Kakashi sighed and nodded his head as it is an exercise but he then added that it's not a normal one. Naruto was now confused and asked why it's not a normal one; Kakashi simply eye smiled as he expected Naruto to be confused by this and said that this exercise is their real genuine test. Now this got Sasuke and Sakura curious as the pink haired girl asked what he means by that. Kakashi continued to eye smile as he told them the reason along with saying that the test has a 66.6% of them failing. At the end of the meeting, Kakashi suggested that Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura shouldn't eat breakfast tomorrow before dismissing the three along with telling them to meet at a training ground and when to be there.
-TimeSkip: 8'clock in the morning at Training ground 7-
"I'm placing ten ryo on Kakashi showing up after Reborn wakes up," said Naruto as he look at Sasuke and Sakura.
"I'm placing ten ryo on Kakashi showing up at the same time Reborn wakes up," said Sasuke as he takes on the bet.
"I'm betting with Naruto," said Sakura as she knows about Naruto's devil luck.
Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Reborn had gotten to the training field on time after eating breakfast and not seeing Kakashi there at all. So, all of them decided to wait with Reborn taking a nap against a tree with a little snot bubble coming from his nose while his eyes are open. This didn't freak the three genins out at all since, they were used to seeing Reborn like this as he does it a lot when he napped or sleeping. As soon as Reborn took his nap, Naruto and Sasuke betted on when Kakashi will show up. Sakura not wanting to feel left out, joined the betting pool and betted twice the amount the two made and sided with Naruto. Now, all of them now had to wait for Kakashi to come the training ground.
They waited for a few more minutes waited for their sensei to show up so that they can see who has won the bet. After it started to become an hour, Reborn has woken up from his nap and looked around and just before Kakashi has finally showed up inside the training field. Naruto has been watching Reborn and grinned while Sasuke hanged his head with Sakura smirking as it would seem, that the spiky blonde and the pink haired illusionist had won the bet. Sasuke handed Naruto and Sakura their winning before sending Kakashi a glare.
"Did I miss something here," asked a confused Kakashi as he look at the group.
"Nothing much," answered Naruto with a shrug as he put his winning away, "just me and Sakura winning a bet is all."
"All right, well then how about I explain what the test will be about," said Kakashi as he shrugged off the thought of what was the bet was about.
Kakashi soon pulled out a clock and two bells from his pouch before placing the clock on one of the posts in the training field. He soon explained that they have until noon to get a bell from him. He even explained that Reborn would only be watching from the sideline while the test is going on. He also said that the one that doesn't have a bell, will be tied to one of the posts and force to watch the other two eat their lunch or if none of them get a bell then they would all be tied up while watching him eat his lunch before sending them back to the academy. All them figured out that either outcome someone will be sent back. However, Naruto has this strange feeling that there is more to the test along with another feeling that something is hidden in the training field but wasn't sure where. Reborn could tell that something is bothering Naruto but thought that his spiky haired student can solve it himself.
Kakashi was looking at all three genins since he didn't hear their stomach growl at all. He kept his face neutral but was smiling on the inside as his genins were able to see that not eating breakfast wasn't an order. He then slowly tell them that the test will begin; at the end, all three genins jumped away to hide after Kakashi has said start. Reborn simple walked over to the three posts and sat down under a tree near by.
-Time Skip: An hour later-
"All right, if this team passes," thought Kakashi as he made his way out of the woods, "don't let Sakura any where near Anko."
During the hour, Kakashi tested to see if the three genins knew how to hide in their surroundings. So far, he was impressed with both Sasuke and Naruto since he could hardly detect them since they're suppressing their chakra so that they can't be notice. Although, he was curious as to why he could detect Sakura at all. He first thought that she had run away but denied that and soon thought that she was deeper inside the forest. So, instead of going after Sasuke or Naruto, he decided to go look for Sakura in the forest and see how she fair with genjutsu. It didn't take him long to find Sakura, since it would seem that she was just standing under a tree. It also looks like she hasn't notice him yet, so he quickly cast a low level genjutsu on her and watched to see how she would react. He watch her scream before fainting onto the ground, Kakashi sweat drop at this before having to dodged from being stabbed by a triton from behind right where his heart was.
He look at who tried to attack him to see Sakura with a trident in hand, along with a smirk on her face. Kakashi looked at the Sakura on the ground to find her fading away, making Kakashi confused as he was sure that was the real Sakura. The pink haired illusionist chuckled and ask Kakashi if he like his first look at a real illusion. She continued to chuckle as she tell him that she'll show him even better illusions while calling him a hack. Kakashi got mad at first before starting to see what real illusions can really do to a person. In fact, he could very much hardly tell if he was in an illusion or not, he also found out that illusions are not the same as genjutsu.
He was able to get back to the training field's open space after getting away from Sakura with his clothes all ruffled up from all those illusions that Sakura was using. He even question how she made real live snakes appear above him. He only got away from her, thanks to his experiences and a little bit of his instincts. He haven't tested Sasuke or Naruto yet. Speaking of the spiky blonde, Kakashi had to jumped from his spot before Naruto came down aiming to dig his heel into his head. The moment Naruto's attack connected to the ground, a little crater had form while Kakashi was looking on with a sweat drop on his head.
"What the hell," thought Kakashi as he looked on, "did he try to take a page from Tsunade-sama?"
"Damn I still need to work on controlling my chakra more," said Naruto as he stand on both his feet, "I can't quiet get it to be like Sasuke's."
"From the sound of things," said Kakashi as look at Naruto, "Sasuke is better at that than you."
"Yep, his can be three time bigger than mine," said Naruto with a grin on his face.
"I'm not even going to ask how the two know how to do the same thing as Tsunade-sama," thought Kakashi as he mentally shake his head.
Naruto quickly made six clones of himself and had his clones attack Kakashi one at a time. Kakashi quickly engaged Naruto's clones while not knowing that Naruto had figured out the little trick about the shadow clone but kept that part from Reborn for good reason. After his clones were gone, Naruto started to fight Kakashi in taijutsu and surprising Kakashi as he didn't give opening like his clones. While the two fought, Sasuke and Sakura watched the two and was waiting for the perfect time to attack since Reborn had forbid them from using box weapons in this test.
"What is going on here," thought Kakashi as he keep blocking and dodging Naruto's punches and kicks, "on Naruto's file, it said that his taijutsu was the worse of his class."
Kakashi grabbing one of Naruto's legs before throwing said blonde at the other side of the training field. The moment Naruto landed on the other side of the training field, Naruto looked up with a grin on his face before making a motion to look down. Kakashi blinked before hearing a nose being low him to see a burning explosion tag attached to a kunai. Kakashi quickly substituted himself with a log before the tag finally set off. The explosion made a deep crater into the ground with Kakashi appearing a good distance from the blast while thinking how on earth did Naruto get his hand on a tag like that. Reborn was smirking as he thought it was a good idea on having Naruto study fuinjutsu.
"Ok, note to self," thought Naruto as he looked at his handy work, "readjust seal to have the blast contain more of the blast."
"He went a little too far with that seal," thought Sasuke as he watched with a sweat drop.
Unknown to anyone, the explosion managed to dig up something that was buried deep in the ground. The same something was blown into the air and is now falling toward Naruto, but to more precise, Naruto's head. Naruto soon felt something fall onto his head and hold his head as the thing that hit his head fall to the ground in front of him. Naruto started to think that a rock from the blast fell on his head before looking down to see what hit him. What he found in front of him wasn't a rock, but a small dirt covered cube with a tiny bit of mold on one of the corner with a little hole on one side. Naruto picked it up and stand up while looking at it with a thought of why something like this is here in the training ground. Reborn was looking at Naruto and the box that he is holding while wondering what is inside it.
"Only one way to find out what's inside," thought Naruto while he forgot that Reborn is there and watching.
Naruto lit his Vongola ring with sky flame and insert it into the hole and pulled it out. He soon watched the whole box glow bright in his hand while not knowing Sasuke, Sakura, Reborn, and Kakashi after the smoked cleared up watching him. The glow slowly started to fade away from sight while leaving something behind that was covered by the glow. When the glow was fully gone, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi sweat dropped as they saw that in Naruto's hands were a pair of mittens. Reborn just smirked as he recognized the mittens anywhere with the number 27 on them. Naruto just blinked as he looked at the mittens that are in his heads while questioning why isn't the mitten dirty or has mold on them.
"Well, that was anti-climatic," thought Sasuke as he was hoping for something else.
"What can a pair of mittens do beside being worn," thought Sakura as she also though of what the usefulness of it is.
"All that just for a pair of mittens," thought Kakashi as he was mentally shaking his head.
The only ones not thinking negatively were Reborn and Naruto as they looked at the mittens. Naruto was starting to have the same feeling as before the test started while looking at the mittens. Reborn continue to smirked as he watch Naruto. Sasuke and Sakura looked at Reborn and saw that he was smirking over something that they didn't see. After a few more second of silent, Naruto suddenly put the mitten on his hands while not questioning the feeling he's getting from the mittens. The moment that he finally get the mittens on, Naruto started to feel calm and collected just like whenever he let Yoko out of her box for training. Naruto soon lowered his head while letting his arms drop to his sides and remain still in place.
Kakashi was soon started to think what is wrong with the spiky blonde that is before said blonde disappeared from sight. He soon felt his danger senses telling him of an attack coming from behind him. He quickly turned around just in time to block a punch from Naruto, but he wasn't prepared to be sent flying from the force over the other side of the crater that was from the blast of the explosion seal from earlier. Kakashi was able to land on his feet while skidding a little from the crater before feeling his hand a little stung from the punch Naruto have him. He soon looked at Naruto to find said blonde looking at him with orange eyes and a bright orange flame on his forehead. Naruto soon brought up one of his hands up to show that instead of the mittens from before, he now has gloves on.
The gloves themselves looks to be black leather with metal-clad fingers and wristband. It also as a metal circle on top of them with a big X right inside of the circle. Kakashi was trying to figure out what is going on with his student along with the flame on his forehead. He has already figured out that the gloves were the mittens but wasn't sure how they changed at all. Sasuke and Sakura had already figured that the mittens changed from Naruto somehow channeling dying will flame into them since they both know that look and flame anywhere.
"Seem Baka-Naruto follows after both the first and No-good Tsuna in fighting," thought Reborn as he smirked before dropping it, "but how long can he keep using Tsuna's gloves?"
Naruto soon made a hand signal that Reborn had made everyone learn to regroup around the leader. Both Sasuke and Sakura saw the signal and quickly made their way to either side of Naruto as said blonde continue to stare at Kakashi. Kakashi soon started to think what three would do now that all three of them are facing him. He soon saw Naruto disappear again and reacted in time to block a punch from his right where the spiky blonde appeared while having to forcing chakra to his feet to stay in place before having to block a kick from his other side by one Sasuke Uchiha. Kakashi was a little surprised that Sasuke's kick had more power into it but soon remembered what Naruto said earlier.
He soon started to engaged the two genins in taijutsu while not nothing Sakura sneaking behind him. He only finally notice that she was behind him when throw the two boys away and sensing an attack from behind him. He was able to dodge the strike from Sakura's trident and moved away from the three. Unknown to Kakashi, the Sakura that attacked him was an illusion while the real one cut the strings of the two bells and made illusions of the bells on Kakashi. Sakura soon rejoined with her two teammates and turned around to look at Kakashi.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei you ready for more illusions," asked Sakura in a too sweet tone.
"Do I even have a choice," asked Kakashi as he was worried that she'll caught her teammates in her illusions too.
"When you ask me that," said Sakura as she put the bottom of the trident on the ground, "I guess you don't have any choice."
By the time she finished speaking, Sasuke and Naruto had gotten back up and is standing beside her. Sakura soon started to chuckle in a way that made Kakashi rethinking to really make sure that she and Anko never meet each other before soon seeing three groups of the three genins. Kakashi could of swore right then and there but was unable to because of all of them started to attack him. Kakashi quickly engaged his nine attackers while trying to figure out which ones were the real ones since before attacking him, they all moved around so much that he couldn't tell which was real or an illusion by the time they finally attacked him.
It was proven difficult as soon as he get rid an illusion, two more would take it's place. This was starting to make Kakashi frustrated by all the illusions that he decided to really test these three genins since it seem that they have teamwork down pat. He quickly pulled out a smoke bomb and throw it down to the ground to release a big enough smoke to cover him from view. Sasuke and Sakura tensed up since they no longer see him while Naruto seem to be spacing out. However, Naruto soon went and tackled Sasuke just in time as a pair of hand popped out and tried to grab the Storm guardian's ankles. Sakura soon canceled all the illusions of her and her teammates before having to avoid a punch from Kakashi that somehow got behind her.
Soon another Kakashi appeared out of the ground where the pair of hands tried to grab Sasuke. This Kakashi soon started to fight both Sasuke and Naruto and force the two on the defense as it seem that Kakashi thought it's about time to take this a little more serious. After a few minutes, both Sasuke and Sakura were starting to get tired from fighting two different Kakashi. This time's Kakashi wasn't giving Sakura time to make illusions while also trying to overwhelm Sasuke and Naruto. That is until Naruto made five clones to help them fight. Now Naruto and three clone started to attack Kakashi while distracting him from not seeing Sasuke doing handsigns for a jutsu. The other two Naruto clones were helping Sakura with the other Kakashi.
As the fight continue to drag on, Kakashi was smiling on the inside as this was the first time that a team of genins ever worked together in this kind of test. The real Kakashi have been fighting Naruto and Sasuke while Sakura was fighting a clone. The real Kakashi soon able to get rid of Naruto's clones throw Naruto next where Sasuke is before seeing said Uchiha shoot a big fire ball at him, right after Naruto had landed next to him. Kakashi soon felt something on his back and was holding his arms back he looked behind him and saw a clone of Naruto on his back.
"Clever little guy but still naive," thought Kakashi as switched with the clone and throw it into the incoming fire ball.
After the clone had made contact with the fireball, he jumped away from the fireball before having to substitute himself with a log from a surprised attack from the blonde. A good thing too since it seem the blonde's fists were covered in the same kind of flames as one on his forehead. Kakashi was looking at Reborn from his hiding place and saw him smirking at Naruto like he knows what those flames are. He soon received his clone's memories from it's fight with Sakura and Naruto's clone. It would seem that it was able to disarmed Sakura of her trident by breaking the three spikes off of the staff and having it embedded into a tree before being defeated by Naruto's clones. He had to say, Naruto is every good with his clones. However, it makes him thinks how many clones can the spiky blonde be able to make.
From his point of view it would seem that Naruto has the most stamina of the three. Sasuke is trying to get his breath back while Sakura is doing the same as Naruto seem to be looking around for him. Kakashi already knows that this team passed but he wasn't about to let them know that just yet as he could tell that there is only a few more minutes left before the alarm goes off.
"Damn, keeping the illusion of the bells and fighting Kakashi-sensei's clone is taking a lot out of me," thought Sakura as she try to keep her concentration on the illusion, "this would be so much easier if Reborn let me use my eye."
"Kakashi-sensei must of started to take it a little more serious after he saw us starting to work together," thought Sasuke as he finished getting his breathing back to normal.
"Sasuke can fight some more," thought Naruto as he looks around while also keeping an eye on his teammates, "but it seem that fighting and keeping the illusion up is taking a toll on Sakura, which means that me and Sasuke have to protect her until she recover."
Naruto moved one of his hands behind his back and started to do one handed signals behind his back so Kakashi doesn't see it. Sasuke and Sakura looked over at Naruto and saw what he's trying to tell them and what to do. Kakashi could only watched as Sasuke quickly went over to Sakura and got into a fighting stance. Kakashi could of guessed that Naruto told Sasuke to protect Sakura while he goes and fight him. Kakashi could guess that Naruto is the one making the plans for the three so he choose to take the blonde out of the picture. Kakashi soon threw a kunai in a way that he knew that Naruto would dodge it while not expecting him to see Kakashi appear right in front of him to deliver a kick in the gut and sent flying toward a tree.
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura soon realized that the tree that Naruto was heading toward was the one with the three spikes embedded into it. Kakashi soon cursed under his breath for that slight error and sent to try to save Naruto before feeling someone grabbing his vest. He looked to see who it was that is stopping him from saving his student from being seriously injured. He soon saw that it was Reborn that has stopped him before looking back to Naruto just in time to see the spiky blonde stopping himself in mid-air with his palms face being him with flame seemingly to help him. Kakashi was glad that Naruto wasn't hurt at all be soon looked back at Reborn with a thought of what was Reborn thinking in his head that possessed him to stop him.
"I wanted to see if Baka-Naruto could really use those gloves," said Reborn as he looked a wide eye Kakashi, "I can read minds."
That was all Reborn said before walking toward the three posts just as Kakashi looked back at Naruto. When he looked back at Naruto, he could see that Naruto is somehow compelling himself toward him while using the flames that is coving his gloves for an added boost. He had to move out of the way before Naruto could punch him, but only to be kicked by said blonde after he somehow rearranged himself in mid-air. Kakashi soon started to think of how to fight Naruto who can fight in mid-air, but that soon stopped after hearing the alarm from the clock. Naruto soon got on his feet while the flame in his forehead disappeared while the glove changing back into mittens.
"Well it seem like you all failed to get the bells," said Kakashi before hearing all three genins laughing, "whats so funny about failing?"
"What funny is that you didn't even notice that the bells you have on are illusion," answered Naruto while laughing.
"Huh," was all Kakashi could say before looking at Sakura who is holding up the two bells.
"I had the bells the whole time," said Sakura as she smirked, "after making you think I was aiming for your back."
"...I really hate illusions," said Kakashi as the fake bell fade away.
"At least you're not her training partner," said Naruto as he stopped laughing.
"Anyway, Sakura who are you going to give the other bell to," asked Kakashi as he watch her walk up to him and hand him both bells.
"Why give something that was never the point of this test," said Sakura, "after all, you wanted to see if we could work together right?"
To say the least, Kakashi was dumbfounded as it would seem that they somehow knew the test was really about all the long. However, it didn't stop him from asking how long have they known. The answer that he got from Naruto and Sasuke was that they knew the moment that he started taking the test a little more serious. Sakura nodded her head as to agree with her teammates. Kakashi could only sighed before telling them that they all passed and to meet tomorrow at the bridge while walking away from them. That was before being kicked behind the head and going face first into the ground. Kakashi soon turned around to find that it was Reborn that had kicked him before being grabbed and dragged out of the training ground.
"By the way Kakashi-sensei," yelled Naruto as he and his teammate watch Reborn drag Kakashi, "Reborn doesn't like being late to things or people that are always late."
Kakashi was giving Naruto a glare as not being told that information beforehand as Reborn somehow threw a green slipper right into Naruto's face. The said blonde started to roll around on the ground while holding his face as Reborn had thrown Leon really hard at him that left a stinging print of where Leon had hit. That was the last thing that Kakashi saw before Reborn started to run out of the training ground so that they can report to the third hokage about team seven had passed.
Sorry for the long wait for the next chapter. I promise to get the one up as soon as possible.
