Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto. Hell, I'm not even a Ninja. But if I was a ninja I would be all HI-YEAH! And WHA-CHAM! Anyway, onto another amazing chapter of my brilliant story. (Not really)

What sane person wakes up at 4 in the morning? I questioned myself as my alarm went off.

Lugging myself out of bed I slowly did my morning routine and left the house at 4:45. When I got to the training ground the sun was just coming up over the horizon. There were only two people there, Sasuke and Sakura.

"Ohayou" I lazily waved to them.

"Ohayou" They said unenthusiastically.

After acknowledging me Sakura went back to doing what she was doing before, staring at Sasuke with hearts in her eyes. Feeling a bit awkward I climbed a tree and started reading my book.

A few minutes later I hear, "Sorry I'm late Kakashi-sensei but I slept right through my alarm clock- hey, where's Kakashi-sensei and Hitomi?"

I looked down and noticed that it was Naruto, as if his screaming didn't give him away.

"I'm up here, Naruto."

"Oh, hi, Hitomi." He said with a goofy smile.

So we sat in silence for the most of five hours with the occasional yelling, hitting, and flirting.

Ugh, why can't they be quiet? I thought as I tried to read my book as Sakura hit Naruto over the head, again!

"Hey, Hitomi, what are you doing?" Naruto asked as he rubbed his newly acquired bump.

"I'm reading a book."

"Oh, what's it about?"

"Don't worry about it. You wouldn't understand." I said as I blushed. (I'll give you three guesses as to what book it is.)

"Oh, ok."

Weird

A few minutes later Kakashi came walking towards us, as if he had all the time in the world. "Ohayou"

"YOU'RE LATE!" Sakura and Naruto yelled angrily.

"Well, you see, a black cat crossed my path. So I had to take a different route." This had only earned him dirty looks. "So anyways,-hm, I'm missing someone." He continued thoughtfully.

Ha, I'm in a tree and no one can see me I thought in sing-song.

"Ok, Hitomi, come down from there." Kakashi said as he pointed at my tree.

Dammit! I thought as I put away my book and jumped down to join the others.

"Alright, I've set this alarm to go off at noon." He said as he put an alarm clock- that he pulled out of nowhere!- on the middle tree stump.

"I have here three small bells. Your challenge is to steal these from me before the timer sounds. Anyone who fails doesn't get any lunch. Instead, you will be tied to that tree stump, so I can eat your lunch in front of you."

So that's why he wanted us to go without breakfast!

"All you need is one bell…apiece. But since there aren't enough to go around, one of you is definitely headed for the stump. And whoever that is will be the first of you to fail. One of you is on your way back to school…and disgrace. You may, if you choose, use shuriken. Attack as though you mean to kill or you'll never stand a chance." He explained calmly.

"But that's so dangerous!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Yeah! You couldn't even dodge an eraser! You're gonna get yourself killed!" Naruto laughed.

"Only the weak speak loudly. Now, let's forget the loser, and we'll start on my signal."

Ooh, bad move.

Then of course, Naruto, being the hot head of the group, ran at Kakashi with a kunai. Only for Kakashi to grab Naruto's hand and bend it to the back of his neck.

"Not so fast. I didn't say go."

Woah! I didn't even see him move! So this is an elite shinobi.

"But at least you struck to kill. So, it seems you've begun to respect me. Heh heh, maybe, just maybe, I'm starting to like you four. And now…ready…steady…GO!"

We all jumped away from him and hid. I hid in a tree with plenty of leaves so that I could see him but he couldn't see me. I looked around to try and find the others, and found Naruto standing in the middle of the field.

You idiot, you're supposed to hide then attack not stand out in the open.

"You may be thinking of the wrong kind of match." Kakashi deadpanned.

"The only thing 'wrong' here is your hairstyle!" Naruto yelled.

Ooh burn.

Naruto raced towards Kakashi but halted to a stop when he saw Kakashi reach into his back pouch.

"Let me teach you your first ninjutsu skill! Taijutsu: The art of the trained body!"

Wait, taijutsu is hand-to-hand combat. Why is he reaching for a weapon?

So he pulls out…Icha Icha Paradise.

Oh. My. Kami.

"Is something wrong? I thought you were coming for me." Kakashi carelessly as he flipped through his book.

"But, you, I mean, why are you, that's a book!"

"Of course, it's a book. I've been dying to find out how this story ends. Carry on; it shouldn't make any difference in the outcome, considering who I'm up against." He said, never taking his eyes of his book.

"I'm going to rip you apart!" Naruto roared as he rushed at Kakashi, throwing a punch in the process. But it was all in vain, for Kakashi, had caught the punch. So Naruto opted for a kick to the head instead. But missed because Kakashi had ducked down at the last second.

" All right! That's it!" Naruto yelled as he, once again, rushed Kakashi.

"What the…?" He muttered as he realized that Kakashi wasn't there anymore.

"Showing your back so many times is very poor ninjutsu…baka." Kakashi said from behind him.

When did he get behind Naruto? He moved so fast I couldn't even see him! Oh no, he's using the tiger handsign! But he couldn't be! That's a too advanced technique to use against Naruto!

"Naruto! Get out of there! You'll be killed!" Sakura yelled, thinking the same thing as me.

"Too late." Kakashi taunted before getting a dangerous look in his eye.

"Konohagakure village's most secret and most sacred technique! One thousand years of death!" Kakashi yelled as he…poked Naruto's butt, making him fly into the water.

That's Konoha's most secret and most sacred technique? An over glorified poke to the butt? But anyways, this doesn't make any sense, why would they put 4 genin up against a Jōnin, I mean maybe I could take him by myself, but I don't know about the others. Naruto is pretty much doomed, Sakura's really only brains and no brawn, while Sasuke would have about just as big of a chance as me. But if we work together we would have a better chance of taking him down.

So I looked around for the others and found Sasuke in a tree to my left and Sakura in a bush to right.

All of a sudden I heard a splash coming from the lake, and out zoomed two shuriken towards Kakashi. But he easily caught them as he chuckled over his book.

Moments later Naruto crawled out of the lake, coughing out any water he might have inhaled.

"Well? What's the hold up? Get one of these bells by noon, or you'll have no lunch!"

"Duh! I know that!" Naruto said annoyed.

"You claim to want to surpass Lord Hokage, but you've already run out of steam."

"I can fight no matter how hungry I am! I just wasn't ready, that's all!" Naruto defended as his stomach growled.

All of a sudden eight Narutos jumped up out of the lake and ran to Kakashi.

"Hahah! My specialty! Kage Bunshin no jutsu! Get ready! Now you have to face a lot more than just one of me!"

So this is the technique he was talking about. I thought with wide eyes.

"They're not illusions, but actual multiple flesh-and-blood bodies!" Kakashi said slightly amazed.

"But at your level you couldn't be strong enough to keep this up for more than a minute! You talk a good game…but you're still only Naruto! You're a one trick pony who hasn't got what it takes to win! He continued.

"N-Nani? Behind me!" He yelled startled as Naruto jumped on his back.

"Heh heh heh! Nice to see your back sensei! I isolated one of my shadow clones and sent it out of the water posing as me. While I circled around behind you! Here's payback for what you did to me! This must be hard on you, so I'll go easy. One good hit is all I want."

I wouldn't get too cocky, Naruto. You may have a good hold on him, but you don't know what kind of tricks he may have up his sleeve.

"Relax! I told you, I'm only gonna hit you once!" Naruto said as he wound up his arm. Only to clock one of his clones in the face. Which led to one big fight amongst themselves over which one of them was Kakashi. Finally having the brilliant idea of dropping the jutsu he noticed that Kakashi wasn't one of them after all.

So, he used the Kawarimi no Jutsu on one of Naruto's clones. Smart.

After recovering from his many bumps and bruises he discovered a bell to his right, where he then proceeded to pick it up.

No you idiot! Don't pick it up! It's obviously a trap!

And sure enough he tries to pick it up but winds up dangling from a rope in the tree above him. And out pops Kakashi below him.

"You used your technique well, but so did I and you were the one who got caught. And to be caught in such an obvious trap was stupid!" He said as he bent down to pick up the bell.

"Shinobi read the hidden meanings within the hidden meanings!"

"I know that!" Naruto retorted stubbornly.

"Uh, no you don't. That's why I'm saying it. Naruto, you…" Kakashi was cut off by a face full of kunai and shuriken, courtesy of Sasuke.

"Holy crap!" "Whoa! Whoa! No way! That was overkill, Sasuke!" Naruto and I said at the same time.

But, fortunately, Kakashi had used the Kawarimi no Jutsu at the last minute. So instead of getting Kakashi, Sasuke had impaled a log. (Logged!) Unfortunately, Kakashi now knew our spots.

Dammit, Sasuke! Why would you even do that?

So to avoid getting caught I quickly jumped away to a bush a little ways off. Checking to see if the coast was clear I ventured out over to where Naruto was, just in time to see him cut himself down…and get caught in another trap.

"Hey, Naruto, want to work together? It'll be easier to get a bell if we work as a team." I offered as I cut him down from the second trap.

"No way, I can do it myself. Besides I want to show everyone how strong I am!' he exclaimed before running off.

You knucklehead, you still haven't realized that we need to use teamwork.

After wandering around aimlessly for a while I suddenly hear a shriek ring throughout the forest.

And that would be Sakura. I thought as I rushed to the source of the shriek. But what welcomed me was a strange sight. Sakura was passed out on the ground practically foaming at the mouth, with tears streaming down her face.

"What the hell did she see to make her freak out so badly? A ghost?" I asked myself as I spent the better of five minutes trying to wake her up. When she finally woke up she sat up and looked around frantically while she muttered something about protecting Sasuke before running off.

"What! No 'thank you'?" I called after her.

There's another one who won't listen to me. Hopefully Sasuke will understand and will want to team up. But knowing him, probably not.

I started jumping from tree to tree looking for Sasuke. I finally found him crouched in a tree looking for Kakashi. So I went behind him, tapped him on the shoulder-which had earned a mini spazz from him- and put my finger to my lips in the universal symbol to keep quiet.

"Do you want to work together? I could even be the distraction." I said, swallowing my pride to try and convince him.

"No, you would just slow me down." He said before jumping away.

Slow him down! Who the hell does he think he is? I seem to remember getting better grades than him. Besides, I can probably kick his ass any day of the week! I ranted in my mind.

"Well, since nobody's going to help me, I guess I'm on my own." I sighed.

Me: Cliffhanger!

Hitomi: What? You're going to cut off just before my big fight?

ME: Well yea. Adding that to this chapter would take forever (which I already made the mistake of doing) so I decided to save it for the next chapter. Besides you should be happy that I'm posting it now instead of waiting another few months. But seriously guys sorry for taking so long, I had to keep borrowing the manga from the library.

Hitomi: Liar, you were just being lazy! *points at me dramatically*

Me: Shhhhh! Don't tell them that! Anyway I've been getting into some more anime, stuff like Soul Eater and Hetalia that I might make stories for. But don't worry I'm going to keep updating this one.

Sasuke: Not very often if you ask me.

Me: Wait, what are you doing here? Oh who cares get out, go on shoo. No one asked you anyways. *pouts*

Sasuke: Hn, whatever.

Me: That's not even a real word.

Hitomi: I second that.

Me: Ha! Well anyways guys until next time. Sayonara. XD
