Me: Hey everyone! I'm going to try to update as much as possible. Right now I am focused on finishing my other Naruto story called 'Petals of Memories'. It should be done in two to two and a half weeks or so. Anyway I hope you like this chapter of If/Then! I don't own Naruto!
"Go!" Kakashi yelled. I jumped making a shadow clone in the process knowing that Kakashi would probably be thinking that I am not a threat. I made my shadow clone go to my first hiding spot while I hid somewhere that I had a better view of the field.
Just like last time Naruto didn't move from the field looking as cocky as ever. Moron. I looked over seeing Sasuke looking over where my clone was closely. I let myself fall silently on the branch he was hiding on. He clearly had his guard down since he didn't react to me at all. I smirked as I took out my kunai and walked over to him. I kneeled down pushing my kunai softly on his neck.
"Now I am shocked that someone under your circumstances would make yourself as vulnerable as you did. Even a comrade could turn into an enemy if given the chance."I lowered my arm glancing back at the scene in front of me which entertains me a lot more now then it did back then. Kakashi was in the middle of carelessly throwing Naruto into the water like he didn't weigh any more than a feather.
"Why did you do that?" Sasuke asked really pissed at the stunt I pulled. I rolled my eyes at his snarky attitude.
"The question you should be asking yourself is what the point of this exercise is?" He focused his eyes on Kakashi who was still battling Naruto. I could see him going through everything he knew in the twenty four hours he knew Kakashi in his eyes.
"To weed out the ones who don't deserve to be ninjas." I chuckled sarcastically.
"That's what you would do. Kakashi is the sort of person who always has a motive, so think in between the lines. If he wanted to weed us out he could have just taken us on one-by-one."
"So what? You are saying he wants us to work together?"
"I'm saying that if you want to finish what you started then you have to stop thinking you're better than everyone else. If you put away your ego for once then we might be able to beat him." Sasuke didn't seem entirely convinced but didn't say anything further. "I'll tell Naruto when I get the chance. So put your genius brain to work so we can figure out how to beat this guy."
"Sasuke!" I called looking around before sighing. "Can't he stay still for just one moment?" I turned the corner seeing a rather interesting sight. Sasuke's head was sticking out of the ground with Kakashi kneeling over him with a smile hiding under his mask.
"Hello Sakura," Kakashi stated standing up looking over to me.
"Hello Kakashi-sensei. I have a question that I would like answered right away that has all to do with you." He nodded slightly rolling his eyes. "How exactly did you get a sharingan?" He froze at my question which allowed Sasuke to hop out of the hole. Sasuke threw a handful of shuriken to the shocked jonin who didn't realize what was going on till the last second.
Kakashi dodged as fast as he could getting scratched by one on his arm. Sasuke and I rushed while he was still recovering his balance, knowing the jonin he saw he was leaning against a tree so there was no running backwards. He snuck a glance up hoping to see a opening for an exit but got Naruto plummeting towards him instead with twenty or so shadow clones.
One by one the clones landed on the ground surrounding the masked man who looked very pleased to say the least.
"This is a surprise," He said almost teasing like. "I never expect you would work as a team so quickly after hearing all the stories from Iruka." Naruto and his clones laughed as if they were the ones that came up with the idea.
"It wasn't hard to figure out what this exercise was about," Naruto lied. Yeah right, if it wasn't for me than you would be tied up to the wooden stump. I thought.
"You're still not going to get the bells no matter what you try." I mentally chuckled at his cockiness. Kakashi, seeing my amusement rose the only eyebrow that was visible. "Something funny, Ms. Haruno?" I shrugged crossing my arms.
"Only that you haven't realized the bells have already been taken from you." I stated making him look at his pants to see that I was correct. The bells have indeed been taken away without one of the best ninjas around noticing. He looked up at me shocked.
"H-how?"
"At the beginning of the exercise I made myself a clone to hide in the shadows. When you were focusing all your attention on us she took the bells from underneath your nose." Said clone walked out from behind the same tree Kakashi was leaning on holding up the two silver bells as proof of her accomplishment. "And if I remembered correctly Kakashi-sensei, it means that we passed." Kakashi sighed crossing his arms.
"Well there is the matter of the two bells. I told you only two can pass the test." At that point all of Naruto's clones disappeared to show that we were standing in a perfect line with me in the middle.
"We are a team." I stated.
"If one goes than all of us will go!" Naruto shouted. "Believe it!"
"We need each other to reach our goals." Sasuke finished. Kakashi nodded walking over to us slowly. It almost felt like an eternity before he stopped in front of us with a stern look. He kneeled down to our level breaking out his 'happy' face.
"Congratulations. You all passed!" All three of us sighed in relief. As Naruto was begging for lunch I thought to myself: Step one is complete. Now comes the fun part.
What I didn't realize was a pair of onyx eyes studying my as hard as he was earlier that day.
I stared at the map of the Leaf Village that is now covered up with black lines. I ran my hands through my hair as I tried coming up with a plan which I've been trying to do for two hours already. This is the time where I would want Shikamaru to tell me what to do, but if I go to him than he would think I was helping plan the attack.
"I can't change that much" I repeated to myself. "But the problem is I need to change something during this time so I can save him."
"Save who?" A husky voice asked. I turned around, grabbing the kunai I hid under my desk, and threw it from where the voice came from. Sasuke caught it an inch from his face making it only cut a few of his hairs. He is wearing the same thing as always, a high collar black shirt, black shorts, and blue ninja sandals. I raised my eyebrow questioning why he wants to look like a vampire.
It's been almost four months since I became trapped in the past by Madara yet the only thing I've really done to change anything is doing a lot more during the missions than I did before. If everything goes according to plan then Orochimaru will decide to choose me over my teammate.
"It's none of your business." I said folding the map small enough to put into my bra. I knew Sasuke well enough to know there is only so far he would go to get the information that he wants. Reaching into a living girl's bra would definitely cross the line for him. "What are you doing here?"
"Hn. It's none of your business." He mocked with his signature smirk. I tried to hide my smile with a eye roll.
"Whatever. If you really must know I was strategizing for tomorrow's mission in case Naruto somehow messes up." He raised his eyebrow clearly questioning my lie.
"I don't believe you."
"You don't have to believe me." He stared at me long and hard which didn't phase me that much. He's been doing that a lot since the day we first became a team.
"You're annoying." I rolled my eyes.
"And you have a stick up your ass but I don't mention it every two minutes. Now tell me why you're here or leave." He hopped off the window seal sitting next to me on the floor.
"You said Kakashi had a sharingan before he even showed it to us. How did you know what it was or the fact he had one?" Shit...shit….shit….SHIT! I cannot believe I slipped up like that. It was the only thing I could come up with to stall him for the attack. I need to come up with something quick before he puts the pieces together.
"Don't you read?" He leaned back clearly listening. "I wanted to do some research on the possible teachers for us this year. I got into a confidential file that stated Kakashi had a sharingan. It's not a big deal." He huffed getting up and going back over to the window.
"I still don't believe you." He said before jumping out.
"You still don't have to!" I called out taking my map back out. "Now what am I going to do about this?"
