"YOU'RE LATE...What happened to your eye!" Sakura gasped.
"N-nothing I had an accident" Naruto replied in a sad tone. He turned away from the banshee to stand next to Sasuke.
"But..." she began to say but was cut off.
"He doesn't want to talk about it so leave him alone" Sasuke sneered at Sakura, who frowned slightly but obeyed.
Meanwhile Trekker was frozen on the spot.
Yesterday:
Trekker jumped through the window with a small orange kit in his mouth. Scaling the walls with his chakra, trying to ignore the whimpering from the kit clenched softly in his muzzle, barely registering a familiar scent amongst the mob.
Present:
The scent Trekker realized was similar to the pink haired girls but full of testosterone which meant that he was male. 'I believe this was the little banshee's father. Naruto is not gonna like this... I will tell him after this test' Trekker trotted over to Naruto's side and sat down.
Naruto looked down and smiled at his wolf brother slightly concerned about him staring off into space. Shrugging to himself, Naruto sat down and leaned against Trekker and closed his eyes for a small rest before the test.
…
Naruto was in his mindscape, relaxing with Kyuubi. His eyes were closed and his breathing deep. The fox looked fondly at the boy, who was wrapped around one of his many crimson tails. In here Kyuu felt like he could protect the boy from everything, but being stuck in this cage had it's disadvantages. When it was about time for Kakashi to come, he woke Naruto.
"Kyuu?" the blond said looking around groggily.
The demon smirked slightly, "Kakashi is going to arrive momentarily, you should wake up."
Naruto nodded and slowly stood up; he waved towards his friend and exited the cage.
…..
Trekker was lying next to the blond as he came to, he looked around and saw Sasuke staring into the woods. He looked towards his right and saw Sakura pacing around mumbling about stupid late good for nothing sensei's. Naruto smiled slightly when he felt the familiar chakra signature coming towards the training field. He sat up quickly and gave a small nod to Trekker who smiled a excited wolfy smile. The time had come to show how great a Ninja he could be.
"He's coming" The blond said quietly but the rest of his team heard him. Sasuke nodded slightly in his direction.
"What do you mean.." Sakura's yell was cut off by a poof. When the smoke had cleared, Kakashi stood there clamly reading his book.
"Hey sensei." Naruto said with a smile. Kakashi looked up and greeted his charge with a eye smile.
"Hello Na..."
"YOUR LATE!" Sakura banshee yelled. Naruto clasped his hands around his ears trying to prevent them from what felt like explode. Trekker wasn't doing much better.
"Shut up." Naruto looked up to see Sasuke glaring at Sakura. "We are all perfectly aware he is not on time, and there is no need for your idiotic input." Sakura looked down with a blush.
Kakashi eye smiled, it seems Naruto had gained a protector. "Okay kiddies, its time to take your test.' He flashed out two silver bells, "Your task is to take these bells by noon." At that point two stomachs rumbled. "I did only suggest not to eat did I not? Come at me with the intent to kill or you wont stand a chance."
"But we'll kill you!" Sakura said shocked.
Naruto looked at her confused she was glowing a purplish color. "Kyu? Why is she glowing?"
"It just shows she is an idiot, she said that the three of you would kill the scarecrow. Is that true?" The fox replied, amused at the pink haired idiots statement.
"Oh, no. Kakashi is a Jonin and no matter how much skill anyone of us has, he has more field experience." Naruto answered logically.
"Exactly, now I could definitely kill him but that is not what she meant therefore her statement is untrue." Naruto nodded.
"….ruto?" Naruto's head snapped up at his name, Kakashi was looking at him with worry.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked confused.
"Pup you were staring off into space for his entire speech." Trekker said with a smirk.
"Sorry sensei." Naruto said with a apologetic smile.
"Well now that your back, BEGIN" With that the three genin and Trekker disappeared. Kakashi hummed pleased and took out his infamous book.
Naruto was crouched on the balls of his feet, eyes following his current adversary. Trekker was right beside him eyes also following the white haired man.
"What's the plan?" Trekker growled.
"We need to work together; the point of this exercise is to work together." Naruto whispered.
"Teamwork?" Naruto nodded.
"Trekker, can you track them?" Trekker said nothing but lifted his muzzle. He jumped off the tree branch silently, and landed on the next. Naruto nodded and followed him stealthfully towards their destination. The foliage rushed by barely noticaiable.
Trekker nodded mentaly to himself as he sorted through the scents picking out the Uchia's scent aware of Naruto behind him. Spoting sasuke in the crevise of one of the large pines. He landed silently making the newly appointed ninja jump slightly.
Naruto landed beside Trekker smiling slightly at Sasuke's shocked expresion.
"How'd you find me?" Sasuke said bewildered.
"The nose knows." Naruto said with a foxy smile. "We need to work together if we're ever going to beat him, its our only chance."
Sasuke looked at him contemplatingly. I'll work with him to get his trust and power. Sasuke nodded towards Naruto in agreement. His face not showing the viciousness inside his heart.
"We need to find Sakura. We've got to work together." Naruto said intelligently. With that the two young shinobi and wolf went off to find their pink haired companion.
