Pain of war
Chapter 2
"Yo" stated a man perched on the window seal. " Ka... Kakshi sensei?" Said Naruto with surprise in his voice. "Hey Kakashi sensei" Sakura chimed in." Oh hello Sakura, how have you been?" Kakashi asked with his eye smile. " good, so are you Naruto's opponent?"
"No. I am both of your opponents" The masked perv stated. "What? What do you mean by 'both'?"Sakura asked as she folds her arms and rises an eyebrow.
"Both of you will participate." Tsunade stated "You will be tested on how well you work as a team. If you pass then team Kakashi will be re-instated"
"Oh right, Kakashi sensei, here" Naruto said as he dug in his bag. He pulled out a book with a green cover. Kakshi took the book reluctantly; eyeing it as if it were some sort of he received the book he took a look at the title. "Make out tactics" he read out loud. He grabbed the edge of the cover and started to pry it open. As it opened holy light started to shine from the pages as if it were some kind of evil genjutsu. Naruto shuddered. For some reason he was thinking of two bushy browed taijutsu masters with bowl cuts and green jumpsuits.
" Kakashi!" The shrilling sound of the Hogage's voice awoke him with a surprisingly high pitched yelp and quite frankly frightened the shit out of him. "You're not reading that filth here; go home!" "Yes Lady Tsunade, I understand" he put his book in his ninja tools pouch and turned towards his young students. "Alright then , I'll meet you two at our old training grounds. And with that he disappeared with a puff of smoke.
In the streets of Konoha
Naruto turned to face Sakura "So what do you think the test will be" she turned to him and began to speak in a matter-of-fact fashion "Think about it. The last time we were tested on our team work we had to show our skills and abilities with the bell drill"He looked up for a minute, then a light bulb flashed into existence "Oh riiiight...the bell drill" he said as he hammered the bottom of his fist into his palm in realization. "Now you get it, well anyways lets go. Sensei will probably be late as always so we should get there first and put some practice in" Naruto looked on forward with determination "Right. Onward to training ground seven!"
Hours later Kakashi arrived at the training grounds for the test. He looked around but couldn't find his students. "I wonder were they are?" He thought. Then at that moment a kunai knife flew past his face from behind and nicked his cheek."huh? What the...oh now I see" he pulled out a kunai of his own and and threw it in the direction the opposing one came from. Nothing happened. Then after a moment a barrage of kunai surrounded him from every direction.
Somewhere in the forest
"Wow naruto" whispered Sakura. " this was a great idea. How did you think of this." He chuckled for a moment then said "Pervy sage used this on me once. Of course he used water balloons instead of kunai, but it still hurt like hell. I guess that's why I remember it" They turned back to Kakashi and noticed that he wasn't even scratched. He had his sharingan eye activated and was blocking all that came his way. It looked as if he was doing is effortlessly.
"Damn! Are they trying to kill me?" In fact, Kakashi was struggling quite a bit with the ambush. He continued deflecting the barrage of blades until he found an opening; he made a chakra hand sign and put his hand to the ground.
The two teens watched on as they saw this "What happened? Was his jutsu a dud or something?" Naruto asked with a face of mixed emotions. "That doesn't sound like Kakashi sensei, but I guess it's a possibility." Sakura stated "What's a possibility?" Asked a familiar voice. They started to turn around but Kakashi put kunai to their necks. " But...how?" Sakura gasped as she saw that Kakashi was still blocking the kunai. "It's simple" he stated "the Earth clone jutsu." Sakura put on a sadistic smile. "Earth clone huh" she finished with a slight chuckle then, POOF! In her place was another Naruto. "Hehehe! Gotcha! Kakashi sensei!" Right then the two Narutos grabbed his arms and held him still. "You really think that you have the upper hand here" Kakashi started. "Ha! It's over, Naru...wha!?" He was interrupted by a blur of pink in the sky.
"RIGHT BACK ATCHA KAKASHI SENSEI! CHAAA!" She dropped down at full speed, making the earth trembled in terror. The velocity of the attack creating a dirt clearing in the forest. "Nice one Sakura" Naruto thought. When the debris cleared only Sakura could be seen. "Huh? Where'd he go?" She whispered as she searched frantically. Two hands burst through the ground underneath her - grabbing her ankles. She gasped, Kakashi popped out like a mole and started swinging her by the feet then launched her towards Naruto. When he caught her he slid about 30 feet backwards. Kakashi launched a water dragon in their location. When it was about to make impact a cloud of smoke appeared. Water spread everywhere; as if it were raining. A hundred feet above there were three Narutos. Two were creating a rasengan while the other held on tight to the real ones arm."So that's what he's up to. Well then" Kakashi started doing hand seals, then he put his hands together and lightning started to form. "Then I guess it's time to get serious!" One shadow clone disappeared; the rasengan was complete. The other threw Naruto. He looked like a blue meteor. Rasengan met Raikiri in an extreme clash. Naruto started to struggle, then his eyes turned blood red and his chakra raged. With a vicious battle cry, an explosion emerged.
Hidden sand border
"So, what do you think of this Kazekage, hmm?" Two men clad in dark robes with red clouds are heading towards the hidden was tall with long yellow hair, and for some reason had his hands in his pockets: the other was short and hunched over. "It might be easy, as long as you don't screw it up. Said a gravely voice. "Me? Screw it up? Please, how would I manage that?" He looked up. "Don't get cocky, your pride will be your downfall." The other man closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Please? My art, is an explosion."
