A/N: I do not own Naruto, if I did Sasuke wouldn't be a douche.

TRAINING GROUND SEVEN

As naruto arrived at the meeting place he noticed his clones had succeeded in convincing his fellow genin into meeting up with him.

"What do you want dobe?" inquired the mildly annoyed Uchiha "I can do this alone thanks."

Naruto rolled his eyes at his overconfident teammate as he turned to the other "Shikamaru you're the genius, have you figured it out yet?" The spiky haired genius nodded at the overactive jinchuriki. "the objective is to force us to work together as a squad when the conditions are impossibly stacked against us making us believe that only two of us can pass so we each act in our own selfish interests."

Sasuke was dumbfounded at the apparently overnight intelligence acquired by the supposed 'dead last' of the graduating class. "We're supposed to work together then" he humphed "Just don't get in my way."

"Wouldn't dream of it teme, ." Naruto took a breath "I've got a plan."

Meanwhile with kakashi

' The sun is just about to set' Kakashi thought to himself as he searched for the genin hopefuls 'If this means what I think it does then I just might have found my first squad.' As he finished his thought he spied the dark blue shirt of the uchiha prodigy, 'oh well' kakashi thought to himself 'I guess it was just too much to hope for' he noticed that Sasuke was standing so that the setting sun created a dark, imposing silhouette of the kid.

"been waitin for ya Hatake" the young uchiha said with all the arrogance that was his birthright as an uchiha " time to test myself against the shadow of the uchiha clan" Kakashi was stunned as his shadow seemed to grow and form into long bars. 'what the fuck!?' the jounin moved to avoid the whips of shadow, then from out of nowhere he hears the uchiha shout KATON: GOKAKYU no JUTSU. From behind the shadows that had suddenly evaporated leaving Kakashi half blind a huge ball of fire materialized out of seemingly nowhere he doged hurriedly into one of the trees. 'that was way too close' he thought to himself 'I shouldn't have underestimated them' he tried to leap off the branch only to realize he was stuck. 'What the'

" Shadow possession successful" came a lazy voice from his left "get done with it Naruto!"

Kakashi turns his head as he feels a familiar power eminate from the clearing 'oh shit!' as he heard naruto cry to the heavens " SHIKI NO KITSUNE: TAIFU KIBA" he assumed his awkward stance as he once again launched himself at the jonin and managing to cut off one of the bells as kakashi broke the KAGEMANE technique and landed gracelessly on the branch reeling from the dizzying side effects of the jutsu. Before Kakashi could recover however the other two pressed the attack as Sasuke started to engage kakashi in taijutsu forcing the silver haired ninja to dodge as Shikamaru used the growing shadows to keep him on his toes to avoid being once more caught by his kagemane.

'And to think' kakashi complained to himself as he avoided a particularly well-coordinated attack by the two clan heirs pressed their advantage totally consuming Kakashi's attention until he heard a faint tinkling in his ear.

"So" said the blonde jinchuriki who had appeared behind him " do we pass Kakashi sensei?"
