Sakura drew a kunai from her pouch, holding it in her left hand. Aiko drew kunai from his pouch and threw them both to the left and right of behind Sakura, then Aiko swang his kusari-gama, and grabbed on to the end of the chain. The kusari-gamma wrapped around the first kunai to the right of Sakura, then continued and wrapped around the other kunai behind her, forming a chain tripwire behind her.

Sakura span around, assessing what had happened behind her, as the pink haired shinobi turned around, she saw Aiko charging at her with his elbow forward. Sakura stepped back, and she tripped over the wire Aiko had set previously, and fell on her back. Aiko jumped into the air, attempting to elbow drop Sakura.

As Aiko was falling, Sakura kicked Aiko in the chin, doing a backflip and landing back on her feet, then she ran straight past Aiko and ran up a tree on the edge of the clearing and crouched atop a branch.

Aiko shouted up to Sakura "what the heck..? how on earth did you get up there!"

"the Konoha ninja academy teaches how to control your chakra precisely, which allows me to channel my chakra to my feet, and use it to add grip to my feet, and easily climb this tree!"

"ook...but you've kinda ruined the fight..i cant get you up there unless i..."

Aiko span his kusuri-gama like a cowboy would a lasoo, and threw it at the branch sakura was on, it wrapped around the branch like a grapling hook. Aiko pulled his weapon, and the branch snapped, but just before it snapped, Sakura jumped from the tree, and fly kicked Aiko in the face, knocking him onto his back.

Aiko closed his eyes just before Sakuras foot connected with his nose, and when he opened his eyes he saw Sakura standing over him with a kunai knife pointed to his neck "You lose, Aiko". Kakashi walked over to the two, aplauding "Good job sakura, you demonstrated precise chakra control,and Aiko, you presented great skills with that weapon of yours, and i beleve you could both easily pass the graduations exams".

At this said Aiko jumped into the air with a "yahoo" and sakura turned to Aiko and glomped him, the both laughed for a while, until Kakashi interupted the minor celebrations and said to Aiko "i think its time for your first konoha academy lesson".

Naruto uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame and Aiko Makenshi stood in a line, standing to attention as Kakashi-Sensei Was telling them what they would do on this lesson. "this is a aplan of wood, elevated 7 foot above the ground-"

Way to state the obvious sensei!" naruto shouted

sasuke looked to his feet "Idiot"

"but what you four dont know, that this will be one of your hardest lessons this year, as you have to demostrate extremely precise chakra control, and walk across this plank-"

Naruto jumped up and down "Sounds easy sensei! ill do this no sweat!"

"naruto, let me finish. You need to walk across this plank Upside down.

"naruto's and Aiko's jaws practically hit the floor, as sasuke just smirked and Sakuras face remained expressionless.

"so, who's first?"

sakura stepped p, and waked across with ease, as did Naruto, but for once in his life, sasuke failed the test. along with Aiko and Kiba, because Shino used his bugs for added grip, and to increase the wipth of the thin plank.

"Ok, sasuke, Aiko and Kiba, because you failed are previous lesson, you will have to talk a remedial lesson. right now."

All of the young boy ninjas sighed, as Kakashi told them what they would have to do "ok, i want you to meet me at the training grounds in 10 minuets, go it?"

"yes kakashi sensei!" the boys shouted in union

At the clearig, Sasuke, Shino and Aiko were waiting for kakashi, "damnit, he's half an hour late"

"you'll get used to it eventually Aiko, he's almost always late...

2 hours had past and Kakashi still hadnt shown up...

"screw this, im out"

I agree sasuke, he's made me wait too long"

But, guys, we might get in big trouble!"

"chill Aiko, we wont get in trouble, it was Senseis fault anyways"

"i guess your right shino, lets go."

just before they left the clearing, Tsunade jumped down from the sky, immediatley Sasuke and shino bowed, but Aiko wasnt used to the customs of konohagakure.

Shino, Aiko, Sasuke...kakashi has been kidnaped!
