Chapter 3 Bell Test
Today the genins will be put on their teams. Naruto opened the door to the academy. He saw all of the class looking at him.
"Naruto! What are you doing here? Only genins are allowed here!" screeched a certain pink haired fangirl.
"Didn't you see my headband Sakura-chan?" Naruto said while pointing to his forehead.
"You probably stole it!" replied Sakura. "No. Iruka sensei gave his headband to me."
"Hmph. As if he would give his headband to a dead-last." said Sakura.
Naruto is fuming now. He couldn't stand it anymore. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, holding the urge to punch her. "Why did I like her again? Oh, right. Attention." Although he succeeded to not punch her, his mouth can't hold it back. "Enough! I'm tired at how you always treated me, you bitch!" He snapped.
Silence.
The class looked at him as if he was someone else.
"I agree with you, Naruto. She is a bitch. And don't forget Ino." thought Sasuke.
"What did you call me, Naruto baka?" Sakura showed her fist, trying to scare him.
"Bitch." said Naruto.
Sakura cocked her fist back. She punched Naruto in the head. But Naruto caught her fist.
"Get out of my way, bitch." Naruto said while glaring at her.
Sakura saw his eyes, and if looks could really kill, she would've been dead a several times already. His eyes showed all emotions that had bottled inside him. Sakura backed away, her face showed how scared she was.
Naruto sat beside Sasuke, who was looking at him with interested eyes.
"I'll sit here, Sasuke." he said. Sasuke nodded.
"Umm... Sasuke-kun, may I sit here?" Sakura asked with her cutest voice.
"No." The answer ruined her mood.
"But there are no other empty seats." That's true. Normally, Sakura and Ino would fight over that chair, but Ino was scared of Naruto. She sat beside Shikamaru and Chouji.
"Hn. Fine." said Sasuke without looking at her. Sakura sat down. She looked at Naruto with a mix of glare and frightened eyes.
"Silence!" shouted Iruka from the door. Then he looked around. The class were silent already.
"Oh, sorry. I thought the class is as loud as usual." he said with a sheepish grin. The class laughed at him.
"Alright. Today I will announce the teams of genin." he said. "Team one..."
Naruto decided to think about his training until his name was mentioned.
"Team seven. Naruto Uzumaki..." Naruto and Sasuke's head perked up.
"...Sasuke Uchiha..." Both boys smiled happily.
"...and Sakura Haruno." This ruined Naruto's and Sasuke's mood.
"Your sensei is Kakashi Hatake."
"Why are we stuck with the bitch?" Naruto asked.
"Naruto, watch your tongue!" said Iruka. Naruto grumbled.
"Why are we stuck with Sakura?" he asked again, trying hard to not say bitch.
"According to the rules, a team will consist of the rookie of the year, Sasuke, Top kunoichi, Sakura, and someone with the lowest score. You, Naruto." Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Next, team eight. Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuuga. Your sensei is Kurenai Yuuhi. Team nine is still in rotation. Team ten consists of the next Ino-Shika-Cho generation. Your sensei will be Asuma Sarutobi. That's all. You will meet your jounin sensei here. Thank you."
"Ah. I forgot to tell team seven about Kakashi."
"Team seven?" Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura looked at him.
"What, Iruka sensei?" asked Naruto.
"I just want to warn you. Knowing your sensei, he will be late for two hours from the meeting time. This includes training, and other things, except missions. So you might want to do something before he arrives, rather than just sit there." said Iruka.
"He would be late, for TWO HOURS?!" screeched Sakura.
Naruto, Sasuke, Iruka and the rest of the class covered their ears.
"Lower your voice, bit- Sakura." said Naruto, not wanting to be foul-mouthed in front of Iruka. Iruka left the three genin alone.
A few minutes later the jounin senseis came. Except Kakashi.
"I guess he's telling the truth." Sasuke said.
"We should punish him." Sakura said.
"I agree with you, bitch." said Naruto.
"Any ideas to punish him?"
"Hmm, what do you think about pranking him?" suggested Naruto.
"You sure it's going to work? He's a jounin." Sakura said.
"I'm the best prankster in Konoha. I even succeded pranking the Hokage and some Anbu." Naruto said proudly. "Then let's get started." said Sasuke.
Naruto left to get some pranking tools, leaving Sasuke and Sakura alone. A few minutes later he came back with a scroll.
"Everything is stored here." he said while pointing to the scroll. He opened it and channelled his chakra into it. The scroll poofed. There are so many pranking things. Buckets, tripwires, paints, glue, water, oil, catapult, etc.
They started to work. They finished 15 minutes later. "This... is great. The best prank after painting the hokage's faces." said Naruto, proud of his handwork.
"I'll leave a kage bunshin of us here. When he recovers from the prank, the bunshins will perform sexy jutsu to knock him out and dispel. Once they dispel I will receive their memories."
"S-sexy jutsu?" asked Sakura.
"Trust me. You don't want to know." Sasuke said. Sakura nodded. This is her Sasuke-kun talking.
"Alright. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" shouted Naruto. Two of the clone henged into Sasuke and Sakura.
"Let's go guys." said Naruto.
"Where?" asked Sasuke. "Ichiraku?" said Naruto. Sasuke shook his head. "No. Not there. What about my training ground?" asked Sasuke. Naruto grumbled.
"Fine." They went to Sasuke's training ground.
Sasuke noticed people's glare at them. Or more precisely, Naruto. A villager shouted at them.
"Uchiha-sama! You shouldn't be close to that demon!"
Sasuke grabbed the villager's collar and lifted him.
"Do not say that again." said Sasuke angrily.
"B-but he's a d-demon!" said the villager again.
"Say that again and I'll toast you." The villager quickly shut his mouth.
"Good. Now get away." said Sasuke while throwing him.
"That was harsh, Sasuke." said Naruto.
"What? After what they did to you, you say that was harsh?" asked Sasuke. Naruto scratched the back of his head.
"Is this how Naruto was treated? And why did he call Naruto a demon?" thought Sakura.
They arrived at Sasuke's training ground.
"Sasuke, I'm going to do some physical exercises." said Naruto.
"Naruto, you said when your kage bunshins dispel, you gain their memories, right?" asked Sasuke. Naruto nodded, not knowing where this is going.
"Then if you use it for training, you will receive the memories of what the kage bunshin trained right?" asked Sasuke again. Naruto's mouth shaped an 'o'.
"So if I make ten kage bunshins for training, my progress will be multiplied by ten." said Naruto.
"Yes. But if you are going to do physical exercises, the bunshin would not change your body. It would only transfer muscle memories, not physical changes." explained Sasuke. "What about jutsu and chakra training?" asked Naruto. "That would work." said Sasuke. "Then I'll make a hundred bunshins to train chakra control with leaf sticking and another hundred for taijutsu exercises. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" shouted Naruto. There was a poof of smoke, and then two hundred Narutos appeared in the training ground.
"Th-this many?" asked Sakura.
"Yes. He is a chakra monster." said Sasuke.
"I never thought Naruto would be this strong. Compared to both of them, I'm useless. Even if I am the top kunoichi." thought Sakura while looking at the ground.
Sasuke noticed this.
"Sakura? You're okay?" he asked. Normally he would ignore this. But she was her teammate, so he has to notice her.
"I...I felt like I am useless and weak after seeing this. He is stronger than me, yet I called him an idiot." she said.
"Then say sorry to him. And if you want to get stronger you have to train. Hard." said Sasuke. Sakura nodded.
She went to say sorry to Naruto.
"Naruto?"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"I want to say sorry for everything I did to you in the academy." she said in a low voice.
"Okay. I forgive you Sakura. Oh, and one thing. Can you stop that fangirl attitude towards Sasuke? I'm sure Sasuke doesn't like it. He likes a strong kunoichi. Ask him if you don't believe me." said Naruto.
"Okay. Thank you, Naruto." she said. She left Naruto and came back to Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun? Can I ask you something?" she asked politely.
"Don't say that you're asking me to a date." Sasuke replied.
"No! I just want to know. What kind of kunoichi you like?"
"Hmm, I can drive her to be strong." thought Sasuke.
"Hmm, I like a... strong kunoichi."
"Naruto was saying the truth. Sasuke always rejected me. He only likes strong kunoichi. I... I have to be strong!" Sakura thought.
"Hell yeah! But how do we get strong?" asked another voice.
The voice was similar to Sakura's. This is the Inner Sakura.
"I'll ask Sasuke-kun and Naruto to help me." thought Sakura, answering her Inner self.
Sasuke saw Sakura's face changing from one expression to another.
"Sakura?"
"Uh? Oh, Sasuke-kun."
"What are you doing? You're face were changing expressions." asked Sasuke.
"I-I'm just, uh... talking to my...self?" answered Sakura, saying the last part with questioning tone.
Sasuke's face showed his confusion.
"I don't understand, Sakura."
"I was talking to my...Inner self." Sasuke got more confused.
"What are you talking about, Sakura?"
"It's hard to explain. I'm...ugh, how should I say it. I'm abnormal. You see, something happened when my mother gave birth to me. There is something abnormal with my brain. Somehow, my brain stores some chakra similar to mine. This causes another 'me' to appear in my mind. Have you ever noticed when I got angry?" explained Sakura.
"Uh, no." Sasuke said, still needed some time to process the information.
"Whenever I got emotional, the chakra in my brain leaked out. This lets the Inner me appear. It looks like me with a chalk outline and kanjis in the forehead." she explained again.
"Hmm, what could your inner self do?"
"It amplifies my chakra control, brain speed, and when it's chakra leaked out, it triples my strength and area of attack. But I still can't properly control it." said Sakura.
"So, you can't control the leak of chakra?" Sakura nodded.
"Then you need to improve your chakra control. If you master it, you can control the flow of chakra. It means you can also control your inner self." explained Sasuke.
"Okay. Thank you Sasuke-kun. I'll try leaf sticking, tree climbing, and water walking."
"Wait, what? Tree climbing and water walking?" asked Sasuke.
"It's another way to improve chakra control. Tree walking is harder than leaf sticking, and water walking is harder than both." explained Sakura.
"How did you know? Iruka-sensei said it's for genin only." asked Sasuke.
"Well, after Iruka-sensei gave us our hitai-ate, I went straight to the library, genin section." said Sakura sheepishly.
Sasuke shook his head. "You are a bookworm." commented Sasuke.
"If you only know it and not practice it, what is the point of reading?" he continued.
"I've decided. If I'm going to be a strong kunoichi, being a bookworm is not enough." Sakura said with determination in her eyes.
"She took my words into her heart." thought Sasuke.
"Then start your training." he said.
Sakura nodded and went to a nearby tree. She took a single breath and put her right leg to the tree. She channelled her chakra into both of her feet, then she took another step. She fell on the third step, but she tried again. Sasuke watched her.
"Maybe she isn't as weak as I thought." he thought.
"Naruto!" he called. All of the bunshins looked at him.
"What?" all of then asked in unison.
"Come here, one of you." A bunshin went to Sasuke.
"Sakura knows another effective way to train chakra control." he said.
"Really? What is it?"
"Tree walking and water walking."
"And how do we do that?" the bunshin asked.
"Argh, I forgot to ask her to explain it. Let's ask her." said Sasuke.
They asked Sakura to tell them how.
"Hey! Sakura!" shouted Naruto.
"Naruto? Ah!"
She was in the middle of taking another step when she spun her head. This caused her to lose concentration and fell.
"Ow, what is it, Naruto, Sasuke-kun?" she asked while rubbing her head.
"You didn't tell me how to do it." Sasuke said.
"Oh, right. You have to use your chakra from your feet to stick to the tree. If you use too little, you will fall. If you use too much you will be blown from the tree. For water walking, you have to constantly control your flow of chakra from your feet."
"Thanks Sakura." said the Naruto bunshin. He dispelled himself to give the information to the original and other bunshins.
"That was a bunshin?" asked Sakura. Sasuke nodded.
Naruto received the information. He ordered his bunshins to train tree walk. Then he continued his physical exercise.
Sasuke decided to improve his chakra control by tree walking. He needed to have a good chakra control to perform the variants of the Shunshin.
They trained for two hours approximately. Naruto received the memories of the bunshin he left at the academy. He dispelled all of his clone and that gave him a massive headache. After he dealt with the headache, he informed Sakura and Sasuke about his memories.
They explained each other about the results of their training. Sakura was the first to complete the tree walking by reaching the top of the tree. Then she decided to continue it until it was a second nature to her. Naruto and Sasuke almost reached the top of the tree.
They entered the room they were supposed to wait through the window. The found their sensei lying in the floor, unconscious. He wore a red mask (due to nosebleed) to cover his lower face. His left eye was covered by the hitai-ate he wore. He has pink gravity defying hair. His jounin flak jacket was painted in pink, because of Naruto's trap. His lower body was covered in feathers. Team seven laughed hard and rolled in the floor.
"Now what should we do to him?" asked Sasuke, still giggling a bit.
"Let's shave his hair! Then put a cockroach in his mask." suggested Naruto.
"Naruto, that's too mean...and gross." said Sasuke.
"Don't worry. I have an instant hair grower in my house." said Naruto.
"Okay then." said Sasuke.
"But first, we should tie him. Just in case he wakes up." suggested Sakura. Naruto nodded. He took some spare wires from his trap and tied Kakashi on a chair.
"Sasuke, shave his hair. Sakura will help you. I'll find the cockroach." said Naruto. He handed a scissor to Sasuke
Naruto left the room.
"So, how should we shave his hair?" asked Sasuke.
"Hmm, the worst possible haircut for him." said Sakura.
"What?"
"An idea crossed my mind. Ever saw a freak wearing green spandex and orange leg warmers run around Konoha in the morning?" asked Sakura.
"I think I have...wait, do you want to cut sensei's hair like that freak?" Sasuke widened his eyes.
"Yep."
They smiled mischievously. They took a bowl from Naruto's scroll. Sasuke washed his sensei's hair to make it easy to cut. Then he put the bowl on his head. Sakura cut Kakashi's hair. They noticed that his real hair color was grey when they cut it.
Naruto entered the room just after they finished. Naruto laughed his asses off.
"Alright. Sasuke, pull his mask." Sasuke nodded.
He pulled the mask down. Now they understood why their sensei wore a mask. His face was ugly. Naruto put the cockroach between the mask and Kakashi's face. Now, they just need to wait.
A few minutes later
Kakashi woke up. He saw his three genin looking at him.
"You're awake." said Naruto.
Kakashi rubbed his head, but something was missing. His hair was missing.
"They did something to my hair when I was unconscious." he thought.
"My first impression of you is..."
He noticed something moving in his mask. He quickly pulled his mask to see that something. He saw... a cockroach. Kakashi quickly snatched the cockroach and threw it away.
"My impression of you is that you are disrespectful, annoying, gross, and troublesome."
"Hey! We just punished you because you were late for two hours!" said Naruto.
"They'll give me a headache in the future. It doesn't matter. I'll be free after they got back to the academy." thought Kakashi.
"Meet me at the rooftop." he said. He shunshined away.
"The rooftop?" said Sakura.
"He planned to make us tired." said Naruto.
"But don't worry. I can perform the Shunshin too." said Sasuke. He grabbed Naruto's and Sakura's shoulders, then shunshined away.
They appeared at the rooftop. They saw Kakashi looking at a mirror with a wide eye. Then he jaw dropped (not sure how he did that though, with the mask on). He looked at the three of them. "You... you did this to me!?" he said while pointing at his hair. You see, he had a nightmare once. And that nightmare was he turned into Gai. But this is worse. He had Gai's haircut, painted in pink. And he had to change his mask. So he did the only thing he can do. He screamed.
Birds flew away from the forest.
"Someday you will pay for this." he threatened.
"Now let's get to know each other. Starting from you, colorblind." he said pointing to Naruto.
Naruto's eyes twitched a bit.
"Why don't you go first, sensei?" suggested Sakura.
"Okay. My name is Kakashi Hatake. The things I like and hate, dreams and hobbies are none of your business."
"We only got your name." said Sasuke.
Naruto started. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like my friends, and all types of ramen! I hate the time it takes to cook ramen and people who don't know the difference between a scroll and the kunai sealed in it. My hobby is eating ramen! My dream is to become the greatest hokage!" explained Naruto, or shouted.
"A ramen addict. About that scroll and kunai, did he know about the Kyuubi?" thought Kakashi.
"Next, duck-ass head." Kakashi pointed to Sasuke.
"Duck-ass head? It's not my fault my hair was like this since I was born." Sasuke thought.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I like Naruto and training. I hate everything that wastes my time. My hobby is training. My dream... no, my goal is to get answers from him." explained Sasuke.
"He must be speaking of Itachi."
"Are you gay, Sasuke? You said you liked Naruto." said Kakashi.
"You perv!" Sakura screeched while pointing her finger at him. A bigger Sakura with chalk outline and kanji on its forehead formed around her.
"So this is the Inner Sakura." thought Sasuke.
"Okay, okay. Just kidding. Last is you, pink banshee." Sakura seemed to hold the urge to shout at him. "My name is Haruno Sakura. I like..." she looked at Sasuke and blushed. She shook her head. "I like training to get stronger. I hate Ino. My hobby is.. training. And my dream is..." she looked at Sasuke again and blushed harder, but she shook her head. "No! My dream is to become a kunoichi stronger than Tsunade of the Sannin." she said. "Hmm, a former fangirl, but she's changed."
"Alright then. Meet me at training ground seven at seven a.m for an exam."
"But we've passed the exam." said Sakura.
"That was an exam to see your potentials. Tomorrow is the real exam. The chance of failure is 66%. Oh and I suggest you don't eat, or you'll throw up." he said.
Kakashi left the three alone. "Maybe we should eat breakfast. If we're going to a battle, we have to be in full strength." said Naruto.
"But-"
"It's a trap Sakura. Maybe he's trying to weaken us." interrupted Sasuke. Sakura nodded.
"I'll go home. See you tomorrow guys!" said Naruto.
"See you tomorrow, Sakura." said Sasuke. The three of them went to their homes.
The next day
The three of them, seeing that their sensei won't be coming soon, decided to eat something.
"How about Ichiraku?" suggested Naruto.
"No. Not there again." said Sasuke.
"Aww, come on. It isn't that bad."
"What do you think if we try Akimichi Barbeque?" asked Sakura.
"I agree. You should try to eat other foods Naruto. It's not healthy to eat ramen everytime." said Sasuke. Naruto puffed his cheeks.
They went to a barbeque restaurant. They found team ten and their sensei eating barbeque.
"Hey, Shikamaru, Chouji, Ino." greeted Naruto.
"Naruto? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be tested by your sensei?" asked Shikamaru.
"He's going to be late for two hours, so we decided to eat." said Sasuke.
"Troublesome." muttered Shikamaru.
"So you must be team seven. I'm Asuma, their jounin sensei." said the jounin.
Team seven nodded. "Can we join you?" asked Sakura. Asuma, Shikamaru and Chouji nodded.
"Hey, Billboard Brow. What happened to you? The Sakura I know would brag about being in the same team as Sasuke-kun." asked Ino.
"I've changed, Ino. He is not my dream anymore. My new dream is to be a stronger kunoichi than Tsunade-sama." she said.
Naruto and Sasuke looked at her proudly. Ino looked surprised by this.
"Oh. And you must be sad you're in a team with Naruto-baka."
"Actually, he's not that much of a baka. He's stronger than I thought." said Sakura.
"Yeah... you've really changed, Sakura."
They ate together. They talked about many things, including the test.
"Hey, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura." called Asuma.
"Yeah, Asuma-sensei?"
"You better watch out. I heard that team seven always failed the test. The only team sevens that didn't fail were the Three Sannin and the Yondaime Hokage's team." warned Asuma.
"So there's a high chance we're going to fail." said Naruto.
"Don't worry, Naruto. We'll do our best." said Sasuke.
After they finished eating, they talked again for sometime. Team seven went back to the training ground after approximately two hours from when they left. Kakashi hasn't come yet. So they decided to do exercises. Not tiring exercises, they want to save their energy for the test.
Kakashi came a few minutes later. "Yo." he greeted.
"Okay. What's the test?" asked Naruto eagerly.
"Straight to the point, eh? These are bells." he said, pulling bells from his pocket.
"You have to get these bells from me until lunchtime. The one who doesn't get a bell will be tied in there, doesn't get lunch, and sent back to the academy." he said, pointing at a wooden stump.
"But sensei, there are only two bells." said Sakura.
"Yes. That's right. One of you will be sent back to the academy. If you want to pass, you have to strike me with the intent to kill." said Kakashi.
"The test begins in three... two... one!"
Naruto , Sasuke, and Sakura leapt away. Kakashi pulled his precious Icha-Icha Paradise from his pocket and started reading. Naruto looked for Sasuke and Sakura.
"Hey! Do you realize what this test's true meaning is?" Naruto said in a whispered voice after he found them. Sasuke and Sakura nodded.
"Teamwork." they said in unison.
"It makes sense. Asuma-sensei said one of the former team sevens are the Three Sannin. There wouldn't be the 'Three' Sannin if one of them got sent back to the academy." explained Sakura.
"Okay. Here's the plan." started Naruto.
"Sasuke, you take my pranking scroll from my apartment. I'll keep him busy with the kage bunshin. After Sasuke gets back, Sakura will set traps in the forest around him where he might Kawarimi into. To make it quick, Sasuke will help Sakura by using Shunshin. After you're done, I'll explode one of my bunshins, forcing him to Kawarimi. Sakura's trap will distract him. Then Sasuke will use Shunshin to snatch the bells from him. How's that?" explained Naruto.
"Naruto?" called Sakura.
"Are you Uzumaki Naruto, or Nara Naruto?" asked Sasuke.
"Naras don't have blond hair. And they always sleep all day. I don't. Thanks for the compliment though. Now let's get to work." said Naruto.
Naruto summoned twenty kage bunshins. They all charged at Kakashi from all sides. Surprisingly, Kakashi handled them without too much trouble while reading his Icha-Icha.
Sasuke shunshined to Naruto's apartment. He wasn't surprised when he saw a mess. There were scrolls everywhere. He took a scroll with a word 'Traps' on it. Then he shunshined back to the training ground.
"Here's the scroll." he said.
"Excellent. Now set the traps with Sakura." ordered Naruto. Sasuke and Sakura nodded. Sasuke grabbed Sakura's shoulders and shunshined to another side of the forest. Sakura and Sasuke worked fast. It didn't take too long for them to fill the forest with traps.
Sasuke shunshined back to Naruto with Sakura. "Done." she said. Naruto nodded, and mentally ordered a clone in front of Kakashi to use Sexy Jutsu. It caused Kakashi to launch backwards to another bunshin. Naruto ordered that clone to explode.
Boom!
No doubt Kakashi used a kawarimi with a log in the forest. As soon he replaced, he was assaulted by a number of shurikens. He took a kunai with his right hand and deflected them all while reading the Icha-Icha in his left hand.
And then Sasuke appeared beside Kakashi. He snatched the bells and Shunshined back.
Naruto saw Sasuke appear with bells in his hands. The three of them cheered for their success. They made a good team.
Team seven approached Kakashi that was standing in the middle of the field, still reading his Icha-Icha. "We got the bells Kakashi-sensei." said Sakura, showing the bells.
"What?! But it was right here!" said Kakashi pointing to his empty hip. He widened his eyes.
"What? No... no way. I'm defeated by genins. I was fooled by a simple genjutsu. Now I'm stuck with these troublesome genins."
Kakashi sighed. "Okay. Your teamwork is really good. And I mean it. You worked like a well oiled machine. And you're the first team that is able to figure out the test. Even Minato-sensei and Jiraiya-sama didn't figure it out." he said.
"So you are the Yondaime's sensei?" asked Naruto.
Kakashi facepalmed. "Of course not. I'm the only alive member of Minato-sensei's team." Kakashi said. Just saying that made him felt some guilt.
"That's cool! We'll be taught by the Yondaime's student!" said Naruto with a stupid grin.
"So, who made the plan to snatch the bells from me?" asked Kakashi. He expected Sasuke to be the one. He's the rookie of the year after all.
But no. Sasuke and Sakura pointed to the supposedly class dobe. That surprised Kakashi. Somehow, when he looked at Naruto, he remembered his dead sensei.
"He looks like a copy of Minato-sensei. With whisker marks and that... personality. He's like Minato-sensei with Kushina-sama's personality. Wait... what?! It couldn't be. Is he Minato sensei's and Kushina-sama's son?" thought Kakashi.
"Well, you passed the test. We'll meet again tomorrow at 7 a.m." he said before he shunshined away. He got a hokage to ask.
"Can't believe it." said Sakura.
"Hmm?" was the response of the other two guys.
"I mean, we're special. It's like... we're the next Legendary Sannin." she continued.
"Maybe someday. But we're not there yet." Sasuke said.
"Then we'll just have to train to be as strong as the Three Sannin!" shouted Naruto. The other two smiled. They nodded their heads with determimation in their faces.
They decided to eat at Ichiraku to celebrate their success.
End chapter 3
