I sighed, I seem to be doing that lately, but considering all we got out of Kakashi was his name I had every right to sigh.
"Alright you go first." I saw him point to Naruto, I rolled my eyes knowing that he would spout on about ramen.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I like instant ramen and pranking! Oh and my friends too! I dislike the teme, and the three minutes you have to wait for the instant ramen. My hobbies are pulling pranks and hanging out with my friends! My dream is to become the Hokage so no one will look down on me anymore!"
I smiled at him, I knew he would be able to achieve his goal. I almost punch Sasuke when he quietly scoffed.
Rrr does he have to be such a bastard?
I thought you liked him?
He may be hot but he still is a bastard!
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I don't like a lot of things and hate a lot of things. My hobbies are training, my dream? It's more of an ambition...I will restore my clan and kill a certain some one." The air temperature dropped slightly.
I let a chill run down my spine and snuck a peek at him. He had his fingers laced in front of his face glaring at the ground.
"Now you!" Kakashi chirped. I raised an eyebrow at his attitude.
"I'm Sakura Haruno, I like-no I love cherries, grapes, blueberries, and strawberries. Well any fruit is good! I like hanging out with Ino-chan and Hina-chan. I love my little Shiyo and Naia. I hate tomatoes, and onions and most veggies! My hobbies are painting, training, and singing. My dream is to become a legend and one day be free!" I said wistfully missing the confused looks thrown my way from all three of the boys.
"Ne, Sakura-chan who's Shiyo and Naia?" Naruto asked before Kakashi could continue.
"You should come over and meet them one of these days." I smiled. I don't think I was really ready for any one else to know what had happened in the result of Shiyo and Naia.
"Anyways." Thank you Kakashi, he saved me from more questions. "You certainly are a surprising group..." His eye crinkled slightly, "You are each unique and have your own ideas...We'll have our first mission tomorrow."
Naruto perked up and Sasuke even looked excited, I on the other hand waited patiently for the crushing news we were about to receive.
"What kind of mission are we gonna have?" Naruto asked tugging slightly on his headband.
"It's a task that the four of us will do together." Kakashi was prolonging this.
"What, what, what, what?" Naruto chanted excitedly.
Kakashi looked at each one of us carefully before talking once more, "A survival exercise."
Naruto's face turned into a confused one, "Huh? A survival exercise? I thought we were supposed to have a real mission not to have more practice."
"We already did this at the academy, that's how we got here." I said playing along. This was almost just like the anime, honestly I'm surprised I haven't fainted from excitement yet.
"This is not like your previous training," Kakashi tuned in.
"So uh, what kind of training is it then?" Naruto asked focusing in on Kakashi.
Kakashi started to laugh, it was kind of an evil laugh. It made me smile, damn he was hot when he was acting like this.
FOCUS!
Right anyways "Hey hold on, that's a normal question what's so funny?" I asked pretending to be the annoying girl in this episode.
"Well if I tell you the answer, you're not going to like it." He kind of sung to us in a 'I know something you don't' voice.
"Huh?" Naruto asked.
Then Kakashi seemed to gather a dark aura around him. I saw out of the corner of my eye that Sasuke and Naruto looked slightly taken aback, or down right scared.
I on the other hand focused in on Kakashi putting a hand over my mouth to yawn as he continued, "Of the twenty-seven graduates who just came here only nine will actually be accepted as Genin. The other eighteen will be weeded out and sent back to the academy. In other words, this is a make it or break it, pass fail test, and the chance that you'll fail is at least sixty-six percent."
Naruto looked dumbfounded, Sasuke looked over his hands glaring at Kakashi, I just rolled my eyes. Way to be dramatic!
"See didn't I tell you, you wouldn't like it?"
"That's crazy!" Naruto yelled, "We worked hard to get here! Believe it! What was that graduation test for anyway?!"
"Oh that?" A hawk cawed as it flew over us momentarily blocking out the sun. "That was to just select candidates who might become Genin." Kakashi shrugged, "Or not."
"WHAT?!" Naruto shouted.
"That's how it is," Kakashi said with a bored tone. "I decide whether you pass or fail, be at the designated training spot at five am, and bring your ninja gear."
Naruto growled frustrated, I simply looked bored and yawned again. I saw Kakashi's eyebrow twitch slightly. Sasuke went into deep thought clenching his fists harder together. I already knew most of what Naruto and Sasuke were thinking, I just wanted to know what Kakashi was thinking.
"That's it, you're dismissed." He said casually throwing his hand out towards us as if shooing us away. "Oh," He said as if he just remembered something important, "Tomorrow you better skip breakfast or else," He got the same dark aura surrounding him once more, "You'll puke."
Naruto chocked on his air supply momentarily forgetting how to breathe. Sasuke's eyes widen just a fraction, and me? I simply bit back a laugh and yawned again, "Boring~" I sung to Kakashi. "Better make this interaction tomorrow a lot better, Kakashi-sensei." I said stretching as I stood up noting that Kakashi's eyebrow twitched. "See you tomorrow! Ja Ne." I waved and walked away, missing Kakashi depart and Sasuke's look.
I stretched a little as I walked to the meeting place. It was still really early and the sun had yet to come out and play. I had literally spent the last night doing my hair, which now was in thousands of small braids that had sharp ninja wire running through them as a weapon. I did eat last night unlike the anime and on top of all that I brought two bento boxes and one box full of fruit that I was planning on munching while I read some of the three scrolls I had brought with me.
I looked up from my bag and saw Naruto dragging himself like a zombie towards the center of the training grounds, Sasuke looked wide awake and was walking to meet us in the middle. I yawned and stretched my arms above my head, I shifted a little in my clothes. My plan for yesterday failed and I felt really constricted in the corset so I put on my long sleeved camouflage t-shirt that ended slightly higher than my corset and it was baggy but tight at the same time. Of course no one could see it underneath my huge jacket.
We all stopped and stared at each other for a while. I looked Sasuke over noting that he was doing the same to us. Naruto though looked absolutely tired. "You do realize if he was late yesterday he might be late again today?" I asked raising an eyebrow at them.
Sasuke rolled his eyes and Naruto was falling asleep again. "Naruto take a nap, I'll wake you up when Kakashi-sensei wakes up okay?" I said gently folding my legs underneath me and pulling Naruto down with me.
"Okay, Sakura-chan." He mumbled sleepily and I placed his head in my lap. I heard him starting to softly snore. I chuckled.
"Hey ass-duck, I packed a bento...would you like it?" I asked searching in my bag.
"No."
I rolled my eyes, "Alright." I pulled out a scroll meant for healing and expanding chakra reserves and then my box of fruit. I opened the box and pulled out a grape. I munched and read the scroll preparing for the long wait for Kakashi.
"Morning every one. Ready for your first day?" Kakashi greeted. I looked up from my scroll.
"Heh, I knew he was gonna be late." I smirked to the irritated Sasuke. I turned down to the sleeping boy in my lap. "Ne, Naruto wake up." I gently shook his shoulder. He didn't move. I started to panic. "NARUTO!" I yelled into his ear.
He jolted up and our foreheads banged together, "Dear mother of ramen!" He yelled nursing his forehead while I rubbed mine. I heard Kakashi and Sasuke chuckle.
Then Naruto became aware of Kakashi. "YOU'RE LATE!" He roared pointing at him accusatively.
"Well a black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long way." Kakashi said pulling out a bullshit excuse.
I rolled my eyes and Naruto growled.
"Well," Kakashi cleared his throat, "Let's get started." He turned away from us and began to investigate the insides of his bag.
"Huh?" Naruto asked as we watched Kakashi walk to three posts and place an alarm clock on the top of one posts.
"Here we go." Kakashi pressed the top of the clock, "It's set for noon." The clock said we only had about an hour and thirty minutes until noon.
Naruto and Sasuke looked at him confused and attentively and I just yawned. He pulled out two bells attached to red strings. I already saw that coming, "You're assignment is very simple, you just have to take these bells from me." He said looking at said bells then turning to us. "That's all there is to it." He lifted them a little making them bounce against each other with a tinkling sound.
"If you can't get them by noon, you go with out lunch." Naruto let out a surprised and sad noise, "You'll be tied to those posts and you'll watch while I eat my lunch in front of you." He pointed to the posts.
As if on cue Naruto's and Sasuke's stomach growled. I rolled my eyes and took out a bento box and shoved it at Naruto. "Eat quickly." Then I looked at Sasuke and rolled my eyes, "You get none arrogant prick. Should have taken it when I offered."
He glared at me and Kakashi looked at me with new eyes I think. Well his eye widened and Naruto gobbled the food down.
I looked over at Kakashi knowing he wanted one of us to ask about the bells, "Wait a minute there's three of us, how come there's only two bells?" I bit back a laugh and forced myself not to roll my eyes.
Kakashi eye smiled, "Well that way at least one of you will end up tied to a post and ultimately be disqualified for failing to complete the mission." He waved the bells as if taunting us, "That one goes back to the academy."
Naruto growled having finished his food. I took the box back and put it in my bag along with my fruit box and my scroll.
"Then again," Kakashi continued as if we didn't interrupt him, "All three of you could flunk out, too." He paused, "You can use any weapons including shiriken (I really have no idea how to spell that). If you're not prepared to kill me you won't be able to take the bells." He collapsed his fist over the bells.
"Those weapons are too dangerous sensei," I wanted to roll my eyes at how weak I sounded, but I needed to pretend I was weak.
Naruto started to laugh and put his hands behind his head, "Especially since you couldn't even dodge that eraser."
"Class clowns are usually the weakest links." He looked at Naruto, and Naruto looked angry, "You can safely ignore them, lowest scores, losers." Naruto and I both growled at this.
Kakashi looked mildly surprised that he had angered me as well. No one talks bad about my boy and gets away with it!
"When I say start you can begin." He said addressing all of us this time.
Naruto was beyond pissed now and grabbed a kunai out, spun it around his finger before launching himself forward. I halted him by grabbing the back of his jacket.
Kakashi looked sternly at Naruto, "Don't be in such a hurry, I didn't say start yet."
"Actually, you already have." I said drawing his attention away from Naruto. "Twice in fact." I continued ignoring the small glare he was sending my way.
"Hmmm, you were coming at me with the full intent of destroying me so how can I say this?" We looked at him curiously, "I'm actually starting to like you guys."
It was silent for a second. "Get ready." We all lowered ourselves into a crouch, "And start." We all jumped away.
I hid in some bushes and looked out. I rolled my eyes Naruto was standing right in front of Kakashi. It took a few seconds for Kakashi to come to fact that Naruto was now standing in front of him.
Imouto, could you suppress our chakra to hide from Kakashi?
On it!
I turned back to the scene of Naruto shouting at Kakashi, "You and me right now fair and square!"
"Idiot, nothing is ever fair." I mumbled quietly.
"Let's go." He had his hands crossed over his chest.
Kakashi looked at him with barely hidden confusion written on his face. "You know compared to the others you're a little bit weird."
"Oh yeah?!" Naruto threw his arms down to his sides, "The only thing weird here is your hair cut."
He then launched himself forward, running as fast as he could right before he jumped back after seeing Kakashi place his hand in his waist holster. "Shinobi battle techniques," Kakashi began, "Part one taijutsu, the physical art." He brought his hand out of the pouch quickly surprising Naruto and brought out an orange book. The same orange book I have always wanted to read to actually find out what happens in it. 'Icha Icha Paradise.' I gazed that the cover lovingly.
Naruto stumbled back, "What the...?"
"What are you waiting for?" Kakashi asked not looking at Naruto, "Make your move."
"But.." Naruto looked as though he was at a loss of words, "I mean, why are you reading that book?"
"Why?" Kakashi asked as though it was the stupidest question ever. "To find out what happens in the story of course. Don't let it bother you, with your weak attacks it doesn't really matter if I'm reading or whatever."
This angered Naruto. I basically knew the fight already so I ignored them to talk to Sakura.
Ne, imouto, do you think he has already noticed that our presences has disappeared?
He is a Jonin.
I know. Okay so do you think he thinks we have changed our position? I already know he knew where we were. He looked directly at us and Sasuke.
It's possible but not probable.
Okay so when Sasuke attacks Kakashi with those weapons I should send some to cut Naruto down from the tree.
Sounds good to me.
"Those two are just two idiots." I heard Sasuke mutter. Idiot, if you talk you get caught. I saw Naruto go flying.
"Okay so where was I?" Kakashi said standing and reopening his book.
Ouch that has got to hurt.
That is an out door only.
I feel so bad for Naruto.
Well he was the one to let Kakashi get behind him in the first place.
I looked up to see Kakashi spout on about look underneath and see through deception. Naruto was hanging up side down by his ankles. Naruto growled out about getting this and Kakashi went on a lecture. This was is it. Sasuke was going to act at any moment.
Wow that was long... Anyways just wanted to ask what kind of summons do you want Sakura/Keimico to have?
Ja Ne!
