Chapter Two: Team Seven, Pass Or Fail!?
(Six In the Morning, Training Ground Seven, with Sasuke)
'Why bother showing up on time!?' Sasuke thought angrily. 'This better not be a habit of his, always showing up late. I can understand the dobe not showing up but a Jonin, why is my luck so horrid, I get stuck with two teammate who show up late and with an incompetent girl!' Pondered Sasuke. Sighing and sitting down ready to take a nap until the dobe and Kakashi show up, he hears the voice of the only girl on the team.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura shouted while waving at the Uchiha. She continues her one sided conversation with the object of her affection. While said object tries to pay her no attention.
'Just ignore her Sasuke; you can do this, she will stop bothering you sooner or lat-… oh Kami no, no one is her to get her shut up.' Wondering how he can shush the pink one, Sakura decides to speak again, this time Sasuke was listening.
"So after we pass Sasuke, do you want to go out with me?" Requested a hopeful Sakura.
Seeing as how nothing can save him, Sasuke decides to squash any and all future attempts the pinkette can come up with, he speaks. "Sakura, why don't you understand I don't want to go out with you? Get over your stupid fixation with me; it's annoying, stop pestering me." 'That ought to get her to stop, at least for a while.' Sasuke mused rather happily.
While Sakura looked on shell-shocked. 'He thinks I'm annoying?' With a loud sigh and something to think about Sakura slumps to the ground.
(Eight in the Morning, on the way to Training Ground Seven, with Naruto)
'Gota admit I'm kind of excited to have Kakashi as my sensei, I wonder if he will do the bell test like Tou-san did to him and his team?' Going into a fit of laughter, Naruto receives many strange looks from the townsfolk. 'No way is that bastard Uchiha going to figure out the meaning to that test, which means I'll have to step up if Kakashi-sensei does do that.' Naruto begins to think of how he should go about the test. 'I got it!' Holding back any laughter threatening to emerge, he makes his way to the training grounds.
"You're late!" Bellows an angry Sakura.
Scoffing Naruto looks at his former-crush. "Do you see sensei? If he is still not here how am I late, beside a black cat probably crossed his path and had to take the long way to get here."
"You can't be serious, who would believe that horrible excuse?" Questioned Sakura.
At that moment the Hatake in question appeared in a "poof" of smoke. "Sorry I'm late, but a black cat crossed my path on the way here, so I had to take the long way around." Kakashi spoke with his trademark "eye-smile" as if nothing was wrong.
"See, like I said." Gloated Naruto with a smile.
"LAIR!" Accused Sakura.
"Can we skip this needless banter and get on with the test?" Asked an annoyed Uchiha.
"My, impatience aren't you?" Pulling out two bells Kakashi resumes. "If you get a bell you pass, if you don't you'll fail and be dropped from the shinobi program." Placing a timer on a tree stump, the Jonin instructs his team-to-be further. "If you don't come at me with the intent to kill, you won't be able to beat me. You have three hours. Starting now."
Just as Sasuke and Sakura are about to jump into the trees they are grabbed around their necks by their blonde teammate.
"Let go off me dobe." Stated Sasuke with a glare.
"Let go of me and Sasuke-kun, Naruto-Baka!" Yelled Sakura
Sighing Naruto gets a far off look in his eyes while staring at the masked Jonin. 'Kami I hope this works, please say Kakashi is how Tou-san journal says he was.' "We can't beat him individually, we need to work together to get the bells if we can ju-"
"But there are only two bells, who would volunteer to fail?" Sakura butted in.
Still staring at Kakashi, Naruto replies to Sakura's… interjection. "Those who abandon their duty are trash, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash, Sakura, Sasuke, we will get the bells and you two will pass, I'll be the one without a bell, we just need to work together. Let's put our differences aside and do this."
"Hn, like I would work with you of all people, you're on your own." Breaking free of Naruto's grasp Sasuke jumps off into the forestry surrounding the training grounds.
"Y-yeah, I don't need your help, you idiot!" Sakura proceeds into the opposite side of the foliage as Sasuke, leaving behind a sighing blonde and a stunned Sensei.
"Man, I thought that was really inspirational and was hoping with me offering to fail they would at least work with me, but no the "great Uchiha" says he too good to work with me." Looking at the stunned silver haired man Naruto smiles. "Well seeing as how I'm on my own, might as well get this over with."
'He knew what this test was right from the start, how could he have known? And then saying the same words as Obito, how?' At this point in the Jonin's thought process, he takes note of Naruto with three kunai in each hand. 'He can't honestly believe a few simple kunai can beat me, can he?' Now seeing Naruto throw all the blades, Kakashi gets ready to perform a Kawarimi… until all six miss him. 'He can't even hit a stationary target… he talks just like Obito and seems to be just as "talented"…'
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" Hearing this Kakashi turns to see six Naruto's. 'How does he know the Kage Bunshin?! Perhaps he'll do better than I first thought.' Reaching into his equipment pouch, Kakashi starts feeling around for something. Seeing this Naruto tenses, while his brain is racing trying to guess what he is going to pull out, then he see his arm pull back. 'No more wasting time can't let him move gota do it now' Thought Naruto, as he hurriedly put up the Rat hand seal along with his clones.
Chuckling to himself, Kakashi observed Naruto's reaction to him going for his… book. 'Never gets old no matter how many Genin I see fall for it, but what's the Rat seal for?'
All six Naruto's flashed away, reappearing at the kunai around Kakashi. Five had spinning blue balls of chakra in their hands, while the sixth ran up to the shocked Kakashi and kicked his arm forcing him to lose his grip on whatever he went for, making it go flying.
Seeing the five blue balls heading his way Kakashi had to think fast. 'If those hit I'm done for, gota Kawarimi but there's nothing here, other than my… my…book, you will pay Naruto.' Resining himself to the only thing he could do, the ex-ANBU sheds a single tear for his loss. "Kawarimi." What followed was five Rasengan's colliding on the same target… one Autographed Platinum Special edition Icha Icha Paradise with four different three page fold-out's, the same book that only produced one hundred copies of the highly sought after "Platinum edition". After which all six Naruto's "poofed" away revealing the real Naruto behind the clones.
"Aww, come on I should have had him with that!" Naruto exclaimed sadly.
Pulling out his prayer beads Kakashi recites a small prayer, for the safe passage of the soul of his beloved book. "I will avenge you, Icha Icha." The Jonin murmured. Turning to the blonde murderer, he pulls his Hitai-ate, that's covering his left eye, up; keeping both eyes closed he coldly speaks. "You… you shall be repaid a thousand times over for your crimes." Opening his still wet eye's, the Jonin runs to the same semi-circle of kunai, he saw Naruto quickly use the "Rat" seal and thanks to his Sharingan he also noticed the quick glance to his left… and then faster than Kakashi's eyes could follow, his pre-pubescent-student-hopeful appears at his nine o'clock and attempts to kick the side of his head, thankfully for the Copy Ninja he was able to see the hit coming and dodge it. But unfortunately for the Genin, it left him wide open with Kakashi behind him. "Konohagakure's Hidden Taijutsu Ogi: Sennen Goroshi" Shoving a chakra enhanced index and middle finger into Naruto's rectum, sending said blonde out into the lake nearby the field, Kakashi places his Hitai-ate back to cover his Sharingan. "You have been avenged, my precious." On the outside he maintained his composer but on the inside his mind was going a mile a minute. 'Just how did Naruto learn not only the Kage Bunshin, but the Rasengan and Hiraishin, what else does he know? Does he know who his father is? It's a good thing Sasuke and Sakura didn't team up with him, I wouldn't stand a chance. I'm going to need to report this to Hokage-Sama.' Thought Kakashi. 'Time to test the other two now I guess.' The masked man then heads off in Sakura direction.
(Eight-Thirty in the Morning, Training Ground Seven, with Sakura)
'To think Naruto can do all that, maybe it wasn't a fluke when he beat Sasuke? Should have worked with him? There's no way I can do anything against a Jonin by myself… I hope sensei doesn't come after me.' Mused Sakura.
"Psssst, Sakura over here."
'Please don't be sensei.' Turning around slowly Sakura sees that it wasn't sensei but…Sasuke?
'Something not right' Moving closer she finally saw him… with multiple kunai and shuriken sticking in him and his legs were twisted in unnatural angels. After a few seconds of staring dumbfounder she screams… and promptly faints.
(Eight-Thirty-two in the Morning, Training Ground Seven, with Kakashi)
'To think she didn't even notice a simple Genjutsu… such a shame, if they do pass she's going to need a lot of work.' Sighing Kakashi decides to go wait in the middle of the training grounds. 'Now then I just got to wait a couple minu-'
"I'm not like they others, I'm an elite, and I will get those bells." Sasuke proclaims, while running through a string of hand seals ending on the Tiger seal.
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!" Yelled the normally stoic Uchiha.
'If I didn't just see both an A and S rank Jutsu from another Genin I would think it's a bluff.' Kakashi thought while doing a few hand seals himself.
"Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Justu" Chuckling, the former-ANBU looks down at the last Genin to fall before him. "You know you aren't the same as the others, but I would say Naruto's better than you." He then proceeds to hide himself looking to see if the brats would finally work together.
(Eight-Forty-Five in the Morning, Training Ground Seven, Lake, with Naruto)
'Well by now the bastard and Sakura should have been beat, now after seeing just how far above us he is they might work with me. Now I gota get them and come up with a plan.' Nodding Naruto heads back to the place where Kakashi last was.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" Thirty Naruto's later; he has ten Henge into Sakura and ten more into the Bastard. 'Now to find them two.' Holding up the Rat seal, Naruto flashes off to Sakura. 'Great, that's perfect she out cold!' Sighing he makes another clone to carry Sakura, then flashes to the bastard location. Looking down at the head of Sasuke he starts to laugh.
"Shut-it dobe!" Shouts Sasuke.
"Sorry about this bastard… actually not really it's the only way you'll listen to me." Chopping the back of his neck, Naruto digs him out, and hoists him and Sakura over his shoulders and flashes away.
(Nine in the Morning, Training Ground Seven, Hidden, with Kakashi.)
'So that's his plan, use his Henged clones to "distract" me, while he gathers his team, I wonder just what he is planning. Guess I can play along and fight his clones.' Kakashi then jumps away from his hiding spot to hunt down the clones.
(Nine-Forty-five, Naruto's Apartment, with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura)
"Oh good you're up bastard, now that your both awake we can begin." Naruto then smiles and continues. "Now I know how this looks, but its only around ten we still have a hour to get the bells, correct me if I'm wrong but none of us got the bells right?"
A muffled grunt and yell later Naruto remember about the gags. "Oh my bad guy's let me get them for ya." He then takes the rags out of their mouths.
"Naruto you idiot! Why did you kidna-" Seeing Naruto move his hand with the gag back toward her head she resumes her screaming and yelling. "NO don't you dare you stu-" but the gag cut her off.
"And that's why I did that, now listen to me, we WILL get the bells, we just need to work together, are you willing to listen to my plan?" He then looks at Sakura, who slowly nod's, turning his head to Sasuke he sees him shrug.
Naruto then smiles again. "Good, now here what we are going do."
(Ten in the Morning, Training Ground Seven, with Kakashi)
'One hour left, all the clones are gone, and no sign of the brats.' Kakashi looked over his shoulder to find Naruto standing rather confidently.
"Kakashi!" Naruto Shouted. "You're going down! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Suddenly Kakashi finds himself surrounded by countless clones. They all charged him, while not too study, the staggering amount of them, keeping the silver-haired man busy.
Naruto used the time the fodder bought to flash away.
"Sakura, do it." Disappearing yet again, he reappears, this time at Sasuke's side. With a small nod towards the Uchiha, he flashes back to Kakashi, just as said masked shinobi finished off his initial wave of clones.
"No more playing around. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." Three solid copies of Naruto appeared next to him. As the two of the Naruto's formed Rasengan's, Kakashi turns in time to dodge a handful of kunai.
'Kunai? Guess he got at least Sakura with him, but she can't do much even with Naruto backing her, now if only Sa-Kakashi's thoughts where interrupted when he hand to jump to avoid a giant fireball. 'Look at that he got both of them to work with him, looks like I might just have to pass this team, you'd be proud of him Minato-sensei.' While the Jonin was trying to avoid an onslaught of fire and steal, he didn't notice where the group of Naruto's advanced to.
"NOW!" Kakashi looked down while still in mid-air to gaze upon one Naruto throwing the two with the Rasengan's. 'Good plan, but not going to work.' Kakashi then used Kawarimi on one of the Naruto's.
'And with that we win Kakashi-sensei.' Naruto thought before dispelling his clone on the ground and the other two in the air with him, and held the Rat seal flashing to where the his recently dispelled Kage Bunshin was standing…right next to Kakashi, he hastily run to and smacked the man, only to be kicked away.
"Close, but still no bell, you should have went for a bell, not hitting me." Kakashi told his sensei's son. He then heard laughing… from the same blonde who he just kicked off of his being. "What's so funny? You only have forty or so minutes left before you all fail."
"It's over. You've lost. Why don't you just hand the bells over and we won't hurt you?" Asked Naruto.
"Just how is it "over and I've lost" the way I see it, you're running on fumes, I doubt you could even make Kage Bunshin now." Retorted the older man. At that moment he flashed away.
'Running away, or regrouping?" The former-ANBU was jolted out of his musing by a tug on his waist, turning around he got to take note of a head of blonde hair before it disappeared before he could do anything. 'How? No not how, when, when did he place a seal for the Hiraishin on me!? There is no way I wouldn't… when he "hit" me that's what it was for! I gota say I'm impressed.' Leaving his thoughts he speaks up. "Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, front and center." A few seconds later and none of them showed up he had to clarify what that was. "That's an order." As soon as he finished that statement the three in question were in front of him.
"Now Nar-" the Jonin started but was cut off.
"Teamwork, that was the meaning of the test, I'll give a bell to the bastard and flat chested." Tossing the bells to his team he says more. "Tell me if we passed or failed latter, I've used too much charka, I'm gonna pass out now." He promptly fell over unconscious.
"Naruto-Baka, get up!" Shouted Sakura, while kicking him. "This is one of the worst jokes you've ever done."
"Hn" Sasuke just slumped to the ground tired. 'He did it, huh, Naruto… how did you get so much stronger? You were the worst in the class, and now…' Soft snoring could be heard coming from Sasuke.
'Looks like both of them pushed themselves.' Kakashi then turned to the only conscious member of the Genin in his team. "When he wake up tell him to meet at that bridge over by the lake at eight in the morning, you all passed." He told her, while picking up Naruto and Shunshining away.
(Afternoon, Hokage Tower, Hokage Office, with Kakashi, Hokage and Naruto)
"Naruto, how did learn the Rasengan and Hiraishin?" Asked the eldest man in the room.
With a grin he replies. "Oh you know, here and there."
"That was an order Genin, do not test my patience Naruto." Scolded the Sarutobi head.
With a sigh the blonde says. "It's kind of a long story old man, can I take a seat?" After a wave from the Hokage, Naruto sits down and tells his story.
"It begins on my tenth birthday; I remember getting beat, then nothing else that day. I woke up the next morning in my apartment, I was so angry, and fed up with not getting answers to the few questions that mattered to me, why does everyone hate me? Who were my parents? Did they love me? Did they even want me? Do I have any relatives left? I cursed the villagers, the shinobi, the children, even you old man, I figured if I got caught it won't matter, it's not like there's anyone to miss me. So, I broke into the archives; I found the files of Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato." With a small forced laugh he continues his story. "I found out my hero, my idol, was the same man who stuck the fox in me, and that's not all, he was my father. You can't imagine the shock I felt that night." With a deep breath he resumes. "I also found out where there home was, my home, the next day I went to it and got in. In the house my father left quite a lot scrolls and other documents, I made a promise to them that I'll surpass both of 'em. So for the next three years I was bettering myself, I used the Kage Bunshin to get the most out of my training."
"How did you learn the Kage Bunshin?" Questioned the Hokage.
"When I broke into the archives I saw a scroll labeled "Forbidden" I copied the first jutsu." Replied Naruto.
"Do you know what a "Jinchuuriki" is?" Inquired the old man.
With a scowl the blonde states. "The Power of Human Sacrifice. They are the ones who hold a biju, in my case; I contain the nine tailed fox. I'm the third Jinchuuriki for it, the first was Uzumaki Mito, and the second was my mother."
"You do understand that this could be considered treason, that's punishable by death." Told the Hokage to Naruto.
With cold steely eyes Naruto responds. "Yes I knew that when I was ten and I still know it, if you're going to have me killed just do it."
"Killed no, but you are going to be punished, after your missions with team seven report back to me for additional D rank missions without pay daily, for three months." Taking a puff of his pipe before asking. "Seeing as how you know your lineage, do you want to take the Namikaze name? A warning before you do your father had many enemies, who will no doubt kill you just because of your relation to Minato."
"No offence old man, but the Uchiha have just as many if not more enemies than my father, and Sasuke still has his name. I would like to use my Tou-san's name, but do we have blood tests, birth certificate, or any way to prove who I am, I doubt the village will just accept it." Asked the Namikaze-to-be.
Smiling at the young blonde he pulls out some papers from his desk and hands it over to Naruto. "The documents here are all the proof we will need." He rummages through his desk yet again and pulls out a file, with a pin and ink. "Sign at the bottom of each page. I've had this file ready from the day you were born; it will transfer all of your mother and fathers possessions, money and the Namikaze name to you."
Quickly signing his name on all the pages, after carefully reading over them, he smiles. "Thank you Jiji, you have no idea how much this means to me. When can I move out of that dump of an apartment?" Unknown to him a few tears rolled down his face.
Taking a lighter, happier tone, at witnessing his "grandson" tearful eyes, he tells him. "Tonight if you feel like it, after you signed the papers it became official, although a few council member might not like it, but I'll deal with them. Now because of your name I'll have to tell the entire village, they deserve to know the Yondaime had an heir, no if's and's or but's, consider it part of your punishment. Oh and you'll have to be on stage with me as well."
"Is this all Jiji, I have some packing to do." Asked Naruto with a smile.
"Yes you may go." As Naruto hand reaches the doorknob the old Hokage tells him two more things. "I'll inform you when the public announcement is, you don't have to wait until then to use the Namikaze name."
{Author's Notes below feel free to skip.}
From now on all Author's notes at the end of a chapter will be in bold
Well didn't go as far as I hoped, but I feel like I did this chapter rather well.
Next chapter will DEFENITLY go into the wave mission.
On a side note I have come up with what Naruto will learn on his training trip, and got the outlines for up until the Valley of The End done, just gotta get off my lazy rear and write {type?} them up!
Sorry that this chapter is a bit shorter, but in the future I will try to have most {if not all} chapter's around five-thousand words. {This one was just under four-thousand}
Leave a review, I Love em!
