I watched as The Kakashi became a log and I sighed. Sasuke ran past me on the tree branches and I looked up as he passed. I started to run in the trees with him.
"Oi, the only way we can pass this is with teamwork you know that right?" I asked Sasuke as we ran on the branches. He looked at me his eyes narrowed. He scoffed and looked in front of him again. Sasuke jumped down while I stayed in the trees and I sat on a branch so I could see a clearing and Kakashi stood about in the middle of it Sasuke soon joining him. Then well there was a very high pitch scream. Oh Sakura…
"Ninja tactics know how number two. genjutsu. Sakura fell for it easily." Kakashi muttered.
"But I'm different than them." Sasuke mumbled his back facing Kakashi. Excuse me? I may be incredibly lazy but I'm a pretty damn good fighter.
"Why don't you say that after you get a bell." I barked at the Uchiha glaring at him from the tree. Naruto may be a klutz and Sakura may be hopelessly love struck but he doesn't know me, or my training. I watched as Sasuke turned around to face Kakashi and they stood there for a hot second before Sasuke flung another set of kunai and shuriken at Kakashi.
"There's no point in using normal attacks." Kakashi called as he dodged and Sasuke fling a kunai at a piece of rope and cut it sending more shuriken and kunai in the direction that Kakashi dodged to. Not bad. I leaned closer from my branch as Sasuke appeared behind Kakashi and sent a roundhouse kick and Kakashi blocking it with the back of his hand in front of his face. Kakashi had a hold of his leg and Sasuke sent a fist towards Kakashi his other hand catching his fist and Sasuke twisted his body and sent another kick at Kakashi so he was upside down and I smirked from my place on the branch as Sasuke's hand reached for the bells and touched it. I watched as Kakashi jetted backwards and I sighed. If he got his duck ass head out of his ass and let me help him than I could have grabbed Kakashi when he scooted back.
"You are different from the 3 of them I'll grant you that." Kakashi said towards Sasuke and I raised my brow.
"Bitch." I mumbled glaring at Kakashi. My glare was cut off as his facial expression changed as watched as Sasuke made a fire jutsu and Kakashi's eyes widened. I watched as Sasuke blew the fire out and I snorted. Dragon much? Too bad it was only a clone. I looked behind me and I waved feeling chakra energy.
"Hi Kakashi-Sensei!" I said before I turned back towards Sasuke. I watched as Sensei dove underground and I smirked, earth style. Sasuke started looking around and I shook my head. He's the idiot! I watched as Sensei's hand came out from the ground. I chuckled as Sasuke was pulled down so he was now in the ground and I laughed. His head popped out with Kakashi standing in front of him. This was too good to be true. As Kakashi walked away with his book I pulled my headband back over my eyes and jumped off the branch looking at Sasuke's head. I sighed shaking my own head.
"OI! Kakashi Sensei! Does Kurono not get a go?" I asked smiling. There was another shrill scream from Sakura and we looked to the side to see Sakura fainting and I sighed. I quickly smirked as Kakashi was now turned toward me.
"You're blind. Correct?" Kakashi asked from the other side of the field and I let a bitter chuckle escaped my lips. Something about knowing I was going to fight brought me…Excitement.
"If I am," I asked lightly watching as Kakashi stared me down. "And if I'm not?" I asked my voice lightly darker, immediately after I reached into my weapons pack. And I pulled out a handful of kunai, shuriken, and senbon. I threw some shuriken and kunai in his direction and I started running. Kakashi dodged the metal weapons and I flung a mixture of kunai shuriken and senbon in the direction that he was going to dodge to. Kakashi's eye widened for a second and he ducked as the weapons came closer a shuriken cutting off a slight piece of hair. I still had weapons in my hands.
"If you are," Kakashi started as we stood still once again. "Then how did you know where I was and where I was going to dodge." He said as he took a step forward. "And if you're not, then why do you cover your eyes." Kakashi spoke once again and I bit my lip as I started running towards the Jounin. I focused chakra in my hands and wrist as I flung the rest of my kunai towards Kakashi making them fly through the air faster. I watched as his visible eye widened again and I smirked as he dodged quickly a kunai barley grazed the covered side of his face. His eye widened again and I smirked a shuriken spinning around my finger.
"I was taught in taiijutsu in my home village from when I could walk and soon after started training with kunai and shuriken. After I came here well, you learn allot from observing from the trees. And sometimes… you even get to do it." I mumbled smirking. Whenever I'd go watch Itachi train with the shuriken and kunai he'd let me throw them when Sasuke wasn't there.
"Let's just say I know my way around." I said a fake chuckle at the end. We stood there for a second before I ran at the man again. I watched as Kakashi ran again and I smirked, just like I thought. I quickly changed my course as I turned my leg throwing the shuriken and senbon at him. Kakashi bolted to the side and I sighed pulling out my two daggers still running and I inhaled concentrating.
"You want us to come at you with the intent to kill but together. And since Sasuke's head's too far up his ass to see what it is and Naruto has too much pride and Sakura won't even talk to someone who isn't Sasuke. So all you got is me, you ready Sensei?" I asked sliding backwards and holding my daggers in position and channeling chakra flowing it into my legs and daggers. (Like the photo) I watched as Kakashi smirked and nodded.
"Come at me." He said and I smirked running toward him faster with chakra in my legs. Although most of it was in my daggers I quickly moved and I slammed my daggers into the ground.
"Ikazuchi no Utage! (Lightning Burial: Banquet of Lightning)" I exclaimed and I smirked as the lightning traveled though the ground and towards Kakashi. I watched as his eye widened as the lightning struck him, and I cursed clenching my jaws and forcing more energy and chakra through the ground. The way the technique works is that it requires no hand seals and is able to send surges of lightning through the ground at desired target electrocuting them so long my daggers stay implanted in the ground. There must be a constant concentration of chakra inside of them to keep the shocking in place. The damage done by this attack is light but gradually picks up, and lowers the mobility rate of the target. I gritted my teeth pulling my long daggers out of the ground and I took off towards Kakashi my blades in hand still sparking with electricity. Kakashi went to dodge and I smirked as his eyes widened. He was slower. I was breathing heavily now from the activity and using allot of chakra in that attack. Time to get them bells. I watched as he held his hands together and my I narrowed my eyes. Oh hell no. I pushed more chakra into my legs and I held up my arm and I flung one of my daggers in his direction. Now don't get me wrong I know I won't kill Kakashi, he's a Jounin for god sake. I watched as he moved his hands apart to dodge it and I smirked. I wasn't aiming for him. I had placed a shadow clone behind him and as the dagger whizzed past Kakashi low at his waist I smirked as she caught it and the bells on the string. I ran past Kakashi dismissing the clone as I grabbed my dagger and the bells. And I shoved the daggers back in my weapon pack holding up the bells.
"I win." I stated my chest heaving. Kakashi looked down to his waist to see the bells in fact gone and both in my hand. I basically collapsed to the ground in a sitting position as I tried to control my breathing. I watched as Kakashi left probably off to go find Naruto. After a minute or so I stood up and looked to see Sasuke still in the ground and I chuckled as I walked over to the Uchiha in the ground. I swirled the little chakra I had left into my left foot and leg and I slammed my leg on the ground by his head.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" He yelled and I rolled my eyes.
"Baka you can get out now it loosened the earth." I muttered walking away towards Sakura. I heard Sasuke's footsteps and I looked back behind me.
"No thank you?" I asked as I reached Sakura. I nudged her side with my foot as Sasuke crouched down.
"Sasuke-kun? You're okay!" Sakura exclaimed and she popped up hugging Sasuke.
"Don't get so close!" Sasuke yelled pushing her away and I started laughing.
"A while ago I touched one next I'm going to grab one." He said and I sighed while Sakura looked impressed. I held up my hand the three bells jingling.
"I got all three." I mumbled Sakura looked at me her eyes widened while Sasuke just glared.
"You guys are really shallow you know that? This was suppost to be on teamwork . But Sasuke's head is to far up his ass to see it and Sakura you basically refuse anything that's not with Sasuke." I mumbled as I started walking away. The alarm went off as I was walking away and I sighed tucking the bells in my weapon pouch. As I reached the wooden posts I saw Naruto was tied up and I sighed shaking my head. I forgot about him, I sat next to him my body against his leg. I let my head lean against his thigh and I sighed looking at Kakashi and I reached into my pack throwing the bells back at him as he caught them.
"No way! Kuro-chan you got all three bells?!" Naruto asked bewildered and I smiled nodding
"Yup, Believe it boy." I murmured copying Naruto's phrase. It was otherly quiet besides that as we waited for Sakura and Sasuke. They reached us and sat against the poles our stomachs growling.
"Uh oh stomachs growling huh? That's too bad. Oh by the way, about this exercise well I've decided that I won't send any of you back to the academy." Kakashi said and I watched as Naruto and Sakura celebrated… Only to get kicked in the head my Naruto. Sakura stopped as it happened and I glared at Naruto. That really hurt. I felt the chakra center into my fist as I pulled my arm back and I punched him in his leg. Let's just say that he was quiet now.
"Yes, all 4 of you, are being dropped from the program. Permanently" He said and well... We didn't take kindly to it
"WHAT WHY? YOU SAID THAT WE'D BE SENT BACK TO THE ACADEMY NOT DROPPED FROM THE PROGRAM! YOU CAN'T JUST CHANGE YOUR MIND!" Naruto yelled thrashing around again.
"Because you don't think like ninja. You think like little kids, like brats." He said and I narrowed my eyes at him. I watched as Sasuke ran at him.
"You think it's all about you." Kakashi said and I sighed, well all of the Uchiha are like that a little bit.
"LET GO OF SASUKE YOU CANT STEP ON HIM LIKE HE'S SOME BUG!" Sakura yelled at Kakashi.
"You don't know what it means to be a ninja. You think it's a game huh?" He said looking as Sakura. I smirked.
"Why do you think we put you on squads? Did you consider that question for one moment?" Kakashi said leaning closer to us. I rolled on my stomach. For teamwork.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked confused and I shook my head. How stupid can one girl be?
"I mean, you never realized what this exorcise is all about, not even close." He said and I shoved my face into the grass. They're stupider than I thought.
"What it's about?" Naruto asked his eyes closed.
"Yes, that's what determines if you pass or fail." Kakashi said it like it was the most obvious thing ever.
"But that's- I mean I wanted to ask you about that from the beginning." Sakura said and I scoffed along with Kakashi.
"Where's your head? 4 people on a squad, why do you think we would do that?" Kakashi said dumbing it down a little. But not too much for them
"Arrgh! How are we supposed to know why you picked 4 people we didn't make the rules!" Naruto yelled and I sighed. Here we go again.
"Actually, it's suppost to be three people. But I make it four. I make it a burden." I murmured my voice muffled by the grass and being ignored. Not noticing the ravenette look at me.
"It's so basic. Teamwork!" Kakashi said. He broke. I turned my head to the side and watched there stunned faces and I rolled on my back. I stared at the sky blocking out Kakashi until his words became louder.
"Sakura! You were so worried about Sasuke that he was gone while Naruto was right in front of you and you wouldn't life a finger to help him." He said and Sakura looked down.
"Naruto! You do everything on your own! Everything" He said and Naruto flinched.
"And you," He said looking down at Sasuke.
"You thought that they were so far beneath you they were worthless. Arrogance. Ninja mission are carried on in squads. Of course you need your individual skills but team work is the most essential element. Every Shinobi understands this. When individuals out themselves above the squad, this can lead to failure. For example," Kakashi said pulling out a Kunai. I smirked.
"Kill Naruto now or Sasuke dies!" He said putting the Kunai to Sasuke's throat. I watched as Naruto looked between Sakura and Kakashi.
"That's what happens on a mission." He said pulling the Kunai away.
"The enemy takes a hostage and you've got an impossible choice and someone ends up dead." He said getting up off Sasuke.
"No, not always impossible." I muttered and Kakashi paused for a second.
"On every mission your life is on the line. Did you look at this stone? The names engraved on it, they are all ninja who are honored as heroes in out village" He said and I leaned a little to the left looking at it.
"That's it that's it that's it! I know! I decided I'll have my name engraved on that stone! I'm not going to live and die for nothing like a dog, I'm gonna be a hero!" Naruto said loudly and I sighed. The people on that stone are dead.
"They are… a special kind of hero." Kakashi said almost…Sadly? Ninja don't attach themselves to their team mates.
"HUH? What kind of hero's are they? Come on tell us! Well well?" Naruto yelled and I sighed.
"They're all KIA."
"Oooh. That sounds real cool." Naruto said and I sighed shaking my head.
"KIA means killed in action. They all died." Sakura said and I nodded. I watched as Naruto's face fell and I sighed.
"This is a memorial stone. The names of my closest friends are engraved here." Kakashi said and I cocked my head to the side in the silence.
"Hey Kakashi-Sensei, is there someone by the name of Obito Uchiha on there?" I muttered. I watched as his head snapped and so did Sasuke's. They looked at me and I saw Sasuke cut his eyes into slits at me.
"How do you know him?" Kakashi asked and I rubbed my neck.
"My mother had pictures of him. She said that he was my uncle." I murmured with a sweat drop. I saw his eye widen and Sasuke looked taken back.
"Your mother was Midoriko?" Kakashi asked almost stunned before I nodded. Kakashi cleared his throat.
"Alright, I'm going to give you one more chance, but I'm going to make it much harder on you. You'll have 3 hours to get a bell. Eat lunch now to build up strength, but Naruto doesn't get any. It's your punishment for breaking the rules and trying to eat by yourself. And if anybody tries to feed him. You'll immediately fail. I make the rules. You fallow them. Got it?" Kakashi said and I sighed. He's just trying to be scary. I watched as they walked away and I grabbed my box of rice balls. I took one out, got on my knees and walked on them to Naruto. I looked at him.
"Open up." I said holding the rice ball. He looked at me like I insane.
"But what Kakashi-Sensei said! You'll get kicked out." Naruto said and I rolled by eyes,
"It's one of his dumb tests Naruto. If you don't get any then you'll be weak, if you're weak than it hurts the team. It hurts the team well then, it's not a team." I said taking a bite out of my own rice ball. I watched as Naruto took a bite, chewed and swallowed. I sighed waiting for Kakashi. In quite a dramatic puff of smoke Kakashi appeared and he stared at me.
"YOU!" He yelled and I rolled my eyes.
"No, the post Naruto's tied to." I mumbled looking at Kakashi. I watched the wind swirl around Sakura and it scared the piss out of Naruto. Not really though.
"You broke the rules; I hope you're ready for the punishment." Kakashi said and he started doing some hand signs. I recognized them as a Genjutsu. I sighed. I looked up and I cocked my head to the side.
"Any last words?" Kakashi said and I smirked nodding,
"A lightning storm Genjutsu? That's all you really got?" I asked smirking at him. He seemed surprised. I put my hands together.
"Release." I muttered and then well the forest looked the same.
"B-but you said." Naruto stuttered out and I saw Kakashi move closer. He's having fun from this, although I would also.
"Yes?" Kakashi said and I leaned back my elbows sighing. I saw Sasuke looking at me like I was insane.
"What are you doing?" He asked loudly in a hushed tone and I rolled my eyes.
"Seriously Sasuke. It's a Genjutsu. If you can't see through it, dispel it, or watch the hand signs how are you supposed to kill this special someone?" I said looking at him stressing special someone as I fell backwards onto the grass. If he's calling people idiots maybe he should study himself.
"YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH BELIVE IT THAT'S RIGHT!" Naruto yelled while I spaced out. I looked at him my eyebrow raised.
"The 4 of you are 1 that's your excuse?" Kakashi said leaning on his knees. I watched as Sakura and Sasuke got into a fighting posed while I just stood my arms crossed.
I watched as Kakashi smiled with a small short laugh.
"You pass." He said and I smiled.
"huh?" Naruto and Sakura asked and I smirked.
"Yooou Paaas." Kakashi said slower like they were stupid and I snorted. I watched as Kakashi repeated lines from Icha Icha Paradise about how you abandon your friends you're scum. I snorted once again.
"Squad 7 goes on there first mission tomorrow!" He said and I smiled. Finally something exciting.
"Let's go home." Kakashi said and I nodded. I walked onwards with Sakura and Sasuke leaving Naruto tied up.
"HEY WAT ABOUT ME?" He yelled and I smirked looking at Kakashi's back.
"You're a ninja now! Get out yourself!" I yelled with a wave. This… This is going to be fun.
