Chapter 5

Naruto kept walking up the stairs towards the roof with Sakura and Sasuke following close behind him. When they reached the roof they found that Kakashi was already waiting for them reading an orange book. Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto (with a little help from Sakura) sat down on the ledge and waited quietly for their sensei to speak. Sakura was sitting there in between Naruto and Sasuke, trying her best not to get too angry at her new sensei. She looked to her left, there was Sasuke, brooding with his chin resting on his steepled fingers. She looked to her right, there was Naruto leaning back enjoying the peace and quiet. Then she looked in front of her at her silently reading sensei. The silence soon became too much for the pink haired girl "Um… Kakashi-sensei are we going to do anything today or are we just going to sit here?" She asked

At this question Kakashi looked up and said "Oh… how long have you guys been here?" this just caused them to sweatdrop. Sakura was just about to explode on the scarecrow when he said "Alright then, how about we get down to business. Introduce yourselves, start with your names, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and your dreams for the future."

"Why don't you introduce yourself first sensei?" Naruto asked

"Me? I'm Hatake Kakashi. I have no intention of telling you my likes or dislikes. And as for my dream… I've really never thought of one. And I have a few hobbies." Kakashi said.

"All we found out was his name" Sakura said to the other two

"Okay, now you guys. You first pinky." Kakashi said pointing at Sakura.

"I'm Haruno Sakura, my likes are… my hobbies are… and my dream is to…" Sakura said looking between Naruto and Sasuke tentatively with every pause.

Ok more of a fangirl than a ninja Kakashi thought. "You next" pointing at Naruto. The blind Jinchuuriki just sat there. Apparently he didn't know who Kakashi was pointing to. Sakura seeing what was happening elbowed Naruto in the side making him jump.

"OH! You meant me. Well my name is Uzumaki Naruto, my likes are all of my friends and ramen, my dislikes are bastards who don't accept people for who they are, my hobby is training, pushing my limit as far it can go, and my dream is to be the world's first blind Kage in history"

Well this kid is sure aiming for the stars Kakashi thought. "Okay, and last" Kakashi said pointing at Sasuke.

"Hn, I'm Uchiha Sasuke, I don't really like anything and dislike a lot of things, I have no hobbies and no dreams. My ambition... revive my clan and to kill a man," Sasuke finished

"Alright, you three all have unique personalities, I like that," Kakashi said to them. "We're going to be starting a mission starting tomorrow"

"And that mission is what, exactly?" Naruto asked expectantly

"First I'm going to see what you guys can do, then… survival training" the scarecrow answered "because only nine of the twenty-seven graduates pass" Sakura's jaw dropped at this statement "Bring your ninja equipment to the training grounds at five A.M. tomorrow" he began to leave when he remembered something "Oh yeah, don't eat breakfast tomorrow, or you'll throw up." He said before shunshining away leaving the three surprised kids.

TIME SKIP 5:00 A.M. THE NEXT MORNING

Naruto and, a still practically asleep, Sakura were walking towards the training grounds together to find Sasuke was already waiting there. "Good morning Sasuke," Sakura said tiredly to her former crush.

"Hn…" was all Sasuke said.

They waited and waited and waited but Kakashi still didn't come. Naruto was sitting on the ground with his back against a tree. Sasuke couldn't tell if he was asleep or awake because of the coverings over his eyes. Sakura was sitting next to Naruto, asleep with her head resting on his shoulder. Sasuke of course trying to act cool still hasn't moved from his spot.

TIMESKIP 9:00

"Good morning everyone," Kakashi called cheerfully as he walked out of the bushes

"YOU'RE LATE AGAIN!!!" Sakura screamed at her chronically late teacher

"I'm sorry, a black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long route here," Kakashi said apologetically.

"That's a total lie" Naruto said flatly

"And how would you know, enlighten me," the one eyed scarecrow asked.

"When a person lie's their heart rate increases" the blind Jinchuuriki began "When you gave us that sorry excuse of an excuse (make sense?), your heart was beating faster than usual. Obviously as a jonin you've been trained to hide that, but I could tell the difference, it was very small, but there was still a difference" Naruto finished. By the end of this whole explanation Sakura practically had hearts for eyes.

To say that Kakashi was surprised would be an understatement. Apparently his training was lax. He would have to step it up. "Okay, moving on. Let's get down to business" Kakashi said glad to change the subject. "Today we're going to see if you three have what it takes to be the genin of team seven." After he said that Kakashi pulled out two silver bells attached to two red cords. "Your mission is to steal one of these bells, those of you who cannot get a bell will be given no lunch and tied to one of those log and watch me eat lunch in front of them."

'That's why he told us not to eat breakfast…' the three soon to be genin thought in sad realization

It sounded easy enough, that is until Sakura noticed something. "But Kakashi-sensei, there are only two bells and there are three of us."

At hearing this Kakashi did a little eye smile and said happily "since there's only two, at least one of you will be tied to a log. That person will fail, because he failed to complete the mission. The person will go back to the academy. It might just be one, or it might be all three" Kakashi said. "You can even use shuriken. You will not be able to get a bell if you don't come at me like your going to kill me. We will begin when I say 'start'."

Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke tensed up, ready to spring. "Ready… start," Kakashi said in a bored tone. When they heard him say start they all disappeared, hiding. Okay, they seem to be hidden well enough Kakashi thought as he pulled out his little orange perverted bible, and began to read. When he looked up he saw the blind Kyuubi container standing stock still in the clearing, his head down the red tips of his hair covering the bandages and chains over his eyes, and his staff held vertically next to him. Kakashi just stared at him with confusion. "Aren't you going to hide?" he asked

"No I'm not." Naruto replied "you see, the last fight I had was against a few low level chunin, and I've never fought against a jonin."

"Oh really? And what was the outcome of the battle with the chunin?" Kakashi asked, again in a bored tone.

"Easy victory" Naruto said coolly. "Now prepare yourself sensei." Apparently Kakashi's idea of preparing himself was go back to reading his book. When Naruto heard the scarecrow leaf through the pages he attacked. Naruto swung his staff at his teacher with huge ferocity, hoping to hit his sensei. His staff collided… with the ground. When he tried to pull it up it stayed where it was. Kakashi was holding down the staff with one foot, never losing his spot in his book. Naruto began to growl because his weapon was immobilized. He quickly let go and began throwing quick powerful punches. Kakashi blocked all of them that is until Naruto threw one last one with even more strength than the other ones. Kakashi instead of blocking grabbed Naruto's fist and flipped him over his head, making him soar through the air for about 20 feet, before landing with a dull thud.

"Okay fine! If I have to resort to this than I will!" Naruto growled menacingly at Kakashi. Naruto stood up and began unwrapping the chains from his arms, while Kakashi looked on in confusion. When took them off he through them away about 10 feet before they crashed into the ground creating craters about a foot deep and reaching for the ones on his legs. Kakashi's eye widened a little when he saw this. "It's just a little something I picked up from a friend," Naruto said with a smirk.

"Ahhhh… much better" Naruto said when he took off the last chain around his eyes. "Now lets fight," Before disappearing. Kakashi was looking around trying to find the blind Jinchuuriki. He quickly decided it was probably a good idea to put up his book so it didn't become damaged. Right as he closed the pocket on his vest Naruto reappeared in front of the scarecrow. Naruto's bandaged fist landed into the side of Kakashi's face…right before it turned into a log. After feeling the wood splinter and hearing the poof of smoke Naruto realized that it was a replacement. Naruto stood still in the clearing trying to hear or smell his cycloptic sensei.

"Are you going to stand there all day, or are you going to fight?" Kakashi's voice came from right next to Naruto's ear. He quickly spun around and punched where he heard the voice, hitting only the air.

"Where are you!?" Naruto yelled in frustration.

"What do you mean, I'm right next to you," Kakashi said on the other side of Naruto. This time Naruto did a low sweep kick again hitting nothing. "You really have got to work on your aim," This time he heard his voice inches from his face, right before he felt a foot connect with his face, sending him into the forest.

SC WITH SAKURA

Sakura was hiding under some bushes behind and to the left of Kakashi watching the confrontation with awe, but was shocked to see that even after Naruto took off the chains, he still got the crap beaten out of him. After Naruto went flying back into the trees she saw Kakashi reach into his pocket and pull out his book before he began to read.

'Three genin and only two bells, it doesn't make sense. Why would they assign teams of three if one was going to go back to the academy?' Sakura asked herself

'You idiot, can't you see why?' inner Sakura asked. When she didn't get an answer she sighed deeply before saying 'its teamwork, you're supposed to work together'

"Oh, that makes sense" Sakura whispered out loud. "I've got to find Naruto-kun and Sasuke" she slowly got up and began searching for her teammates. After about 10 minutes of searching, she was about to give up, when she all of a sudden fell in a gaping hole that opened up in the ground in front of her. She was going to call for help but a hand clapped over her mouth keeping her quiet. She was about to bite the hand that held her when she heard the voice of everyone's favorite (and only) blind Jinchuuriki "Calm down Sakura-Chan, it's me Naruto, I've been trying to find you for awhile."

"You have?" She asked blushing, obviously taking what he said the wrong way.

"Yes I have, Sasuke's here too." Naruto answered. "Hn…" was all Sasuke said. At this she began to relax and realized that she had her eyes closed. When she opened them she began to panic again, because it was just as dark as it was when she had her eyes closed.

"Oh my god, I can't see anything, I'm blind!" she said almost yelling

"Oh no!! Whatever will we do?" She heard Naruto say, sarcasm dripping from his voice.

"Sorry" Sakura apologized, before remembering why she was looking for Naruto and Sasuke in the first place "Naruto-kun, Sasuke I've figured out the point of the test," she said.

"Yeah, so have we. That's why we're down here. To make a plan" Naruto said

Sakura got a little curious when she heard Naruto say "down here" "Um…Naruto-kun?" she asked hesitantly

"Yes, Sakura-chan?"

"Where exactly are we?"

"I used a doton technique; we are about twenty-five feet underground, nearly half a mile away from the clearing where Kakashi-sensei is." He said with a matter of factly tone.

She was about to ask more, when Sasuke decided to speak up "Hey, can we hurry up here and get this plan made. I think I'm sitting on your staff and it's making me feel really uncomfortable." (So he is straight…)

"Okay, so here's what we do…" Naruto began

SC TIMESKIP WITH KAKASHI

"Hmmm… it's been awhile since I've seen those three" Kakashi said out loud to himself as he finished reading another chapter of "Icha Icha paradise". Apparently he never noticed or didn't care that the chains that were in the craters and Naruto's staff disappeared. He was about to go looking for the genin hopefuls, when he felt a large chakra signature coming from… below him? Then suddenly four pairs of chain wrapped hands came bursting out from the ground, grabbing him in several places holding him down on the ground. He was trying, and failing, not to act astonished. Then another pair of hands burst out of the ground about five feet away from Kakashi. He watched as the palms of the hands were pressed on the ground and began to pull Naruto out of the ground.

"I caught you sensei," Naruto said with a small hint of mischief in his voice "Sasuke NOW!" he yelled.

Sasuke, hearing Naruto's signal, jumped out of the tree he was hiding in and began forming hand signs in quick succession. He then yelled "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)!" putting his thumb and index finger together in front of his face, spewing a stream of fire out of his mouth straight at kakashi.

Sasuke allowed himself a small smile, as he watched his target get incinertated in the blazing flame. When he looked around to find Naruto, he had disappeared. Sasuke looked again at the fire, which was dieing down by now. His smile was quickly replaced with a look of horror for when he looked into the crater, it was not his teacher he saw, but a very burnt and very pissed Naruto. Sasuke then realized what had happened, Kakashi had used a kawarimi (substitution), but not on a log or a rock like most ninja would, but on his team mate.

The chains around Naruto's eyes were glowing red hot burning the bandages, so he did the first thing that came to mind he quickly tore off the chains on his body and threw them away from him. The bandages around his eyes, and arms were burned to ashes. He quickly felt through his equipment pouch and found that he had forgot to bring extra ones. Sakura walked slowly out from behind some trees. She had been using almost all of her chakra trying to make a genjustu strong enough to conceal both Naruto and Sasuke until they attacked. She began to look around at the battlefield and saw something very interesting. The chains, that were once red hot but were now cool, had left craters about half a foot deep and three feet wide. She decided it better to ask about them later.

Another thing she noticed was that Naruto no longer wore his bandages over his eyes, and she had to say he looked pretty cute. 'Cute!?!? I think he looks tastyyyyy if you ask me!' inner Sakura yelled. Sakura had to agree with her inner self on this one.

"Where is he? Where did Kakashi-sensei go?" Sasuke asked no one in particular, bringing Sakura out of her thoughts.

"I don't know sasuke, but that katon jutsu really hurts, for your information" Naruto said

"Hey, it's not my fault that Kakashi-sensei used you for a kawarimi!" Sasuke yelled defensively.

"It isn't any of your faults." Said a voice from behind them. "You three have actually done well." When they turned around there was their sensei leaning against a tree, looking nonchalant slowly clapping his hands.

"What do you mean 'we did really well'? We didn't even manage to steal a bell." Sakura asked.

"Well as I'm sure you've all noticed this test was about teamwork. If you hadn't worked together then none of you would have been able to pass" he replied with his patented eye smile.

Accepting this answer, the three stood silent for a few seconds with Kakashi still smiling under his mask. "So… are we a genin team now?" Sasuke asked hesitantly.

"Yes you are," the scarecrow told his very first genin team. Then followed an akward silence for a few seconds before sakura remembered something.

"Um, Naruto-kun?" she asked getting everybody's attention.

"Yes Sakura-chan?' he answered.

"Well I was wondering something about those chains… where in the world did you get them?" she asked a little louder.

"Oh yeah, I got them right after I met you, but they didn't weigh that much when I got them. I actually got the idea of weighing them down after meeting a friend's team." He explained.

FLASHBACK ONE YEAR AGO (I guess)

Naruto was walking down the street with Tenten, just hanging out, When all of a sudden the smell of sweat permeated the air, and it didn't take an Inuzuka to be able to smell it because even Tenten smelled it.

"Oh no… not now." Tenten begged the air quietly.

"What do you mean, Tenten-chan?" Naruto asked when he heard this.

"Well you see my team ma-" Tenten was soon interrupted by loud yelling.

"TENTEN-SAN I'M GLAD TO HAVE FINALLY FOUND YOU!!!" Naruto heard a very loud, very exuberant voice say before clutching his ears in pain.

"Itai…" Naruto whined pitifully.

When Tenten saw her friend in pain she quickly rounded on the boisterous person "LEE BE QUIET!!! CAN'T YOU SEE YOUR HURTING Naruto-KUN?!" She said almost as loud. She shut up instantly when she saw that Naruto was in even more pain. "Oh Naruto-kun I'm so sorry I didn't mean to"

"It's all right…just please… don't do it again," Naruto said before asking "So who is this guy? He seems to know you."

"Oh, this is Rock Lee, he's on my team. And Lee, this is Uzumaki Naruto he's a friend" Tenten explained

"Nice to meet you Naruto-san" Lee said with a short bow.

"You too," Naruto said back

"Okay Lee what did you want?" Tenten asked her teammate after this short exchange

"Oh yes, Gai-sensei has asked me to find you for our daily training." Lee replied before an idea struck him. "Why don't you join us Naruto-kun?"

"Yeah why don't you? Please Naruto-kuuuun," Tenten asked cutely with a child like pout; knowing full well that he couldn't see it.

"Okay fine" He conceded "just lead me there"

Timeskip 10 minutes

'Why…why do I always have to make friends with the loud people' Naruto thought to himself after meeting Tenten's sensei. Naruto was currently on the ground twitching in pain because of the very loud greeting from Tenten's sensei Might Gai. While Naruto is on the ground in pain Tenten was berating her idiot sensei for yelling out his "youthful" greeting, again not noticing the volume of her own voice.

"AND ANOTHER THING GAI-SENSEI!!!… Oh my god I'm sorry Naruto please forgive me" Tenten said apologetically.

"And again I forgive you just please, please don't do it again" Naruto said as Tenten help him up from the ground "but back to what we came here for…Training"

"Ah yes the more the merrier my youthful blind companion. We are going to start with a light sparring, choose your partners, Neji?" Gai said pointing to the Hyuga (spelled with 1"u" or with 2?)

"I choose Tenten," Neji answered making Tenten blush.

"And I guess that leaves me with Lee," Naruto said with an unexcited tone. "lets just get this over with," Naruto said sticking his staff into the ground and falling into a fighting stance.

"Fine if you want this over with Naruto-san" Lee said with a short bow

The next thing Naruto knew he had both his arms up blocking one of Lee's downward kicks. Before He could react he had Lee's other leg in his gut. 'This guy's fast!' Naruto thought while he was thrown back from the force. Then he felt Lee's foot in his back sending him crashing into a tree. Naruto heard the slight shifting of weight behind him of a person moving. As quick as a limpet (Monty python reference) he spun around grabbing Lee's leg swinging him into the tree next to him causing another crash.

"Hey Lee?" Naruto asked

"Yes Naruto-san?" Lee said pulling himself out of the indent he made in the tree

"I noticed that when you kicked me it weighed more than it should,"

"Oh yes, Gai-sensei gave me weights to increase my speed during fights"

"Yes I would do anything to help my favorite student Lee better his taijutsu." Gai said suddenly between them.

"Gai-sensei!"

"Lee!"

"Gai-sensei!"

"Lee!"

By this point in time Neji and Tenten decided to check out what was going on. "Every time I see them do this I die a little more on the inside" Tenten said quietly.

Naruto not knowing what was going on, leaned over and asked Neji "What are they doing?"

"They're… ugh… hugging" the Hyuga answered sounding disgusted.

'Thank kami for blindness" Naruto thought to himself

END FLASHBACK

"so now you know," Naruto finished his story

"Yeah but you could've left out that last part," Sasuke said with a slight shiver

"Hey you asked for the whole story." Naruto said back. "Um…do you have any extra bandages, Kakashi-sensei?"

Kakashi reached into his bag and threw a roll of bandages at Naruto. Naruto caught them perfectly with one hand like he could see it.

"Wait Naruto before you do," Sakura said quickly rushing over to her bag she left next to the logs. She pulled out a small object from it and jogging back to the group. When Sakura got back to the group, she was holding the object up to her face so that Sasuke and Kakashi couldn't see it. "Okay, Naruto-kun face towards me, and open your eyes…good right there now hold still" Naruto obediantly did as he was told, though still a little curious as to why. He held his position until he heard a small click.

"YES!!! FINALLY A PICTURE OF NARUTO-KUN'S FACE!!! JUST WAIT UNTIL THE OTHERS SEE THIS!!!!!" Sakura screamed triumphantly causing Kakashi and Sasuke to sweatdrop but not as large as Naruto's.
