A/N: I'm not gonna do the test except in flashbacks' mostly because of laziness, but also because I have no inspiration for it, but I do for the wave mission.

Chitsuki awoke and looked up at the ceiling, refusing to let lose the tears that threatened to come through, and had ever since Iruka's funeral, three months ago. Kakashi-sensei had passed them on a fluke and now they were doing mindless D-rank missions. She sighed as she got off her bed and went about her morning rituals, before grabbing her sword off of the table next to her bed and walking to the bridge where Team 7 usually met.

She walked up and saw Sakura and Sasuke already there. Ignoring the looks they gave her she leaned against the rail of the bridge to await Kakashi. She didn't have to wait long because she had been about three hours late herself, she smirked slightly as she rembered the day of the test when she had shown up late.

Flashback

Chitsuki walked into the clearing of training ground 7 three hours late just as Kakashi poofed in and Sakura shouted out, "You're late!"

Kakashi was first to speak as he said, "Maa, I would have been on time but a black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long way around, and then there was an old lady crossing the street and I had to help her."
"LIAR!"

"I was late because I knew that he would be late," Chitsuki said indicating the Copy-nin as the one who would be late.

End

"Yo," Kakashi said with a lazy wave.

"YOU'RE LATE!" Sakura screeched.

"Mah, I got lost on the road of life."

"LIAR!"

Chitsuki sighed and headed for the Hokage tower to get their next mission ignoring the two

Team 7 walked into the mission room with the Fire Daimyo's cat, all of them sporting scratches from trying to catch the cat except for Chitsuki, who's arms the cat had leapt into. Chitsuki handed off the cat to her owner feeling a bit of pity as Tora was squashed to her owner's chest.

"Allright Team 7," the Hokage said as he pulled out a pile of D-mission scrolls, "I have weeding the Akimichi's garden, walking the Inuzuka dogs, helping Inoichi move some fertilizer…"

"NO!"

The forceful shout from the Uchiha startled everyone, even Tsuki as he continued, "I refuse to do more commoner work, I demand at least a C-rank mission as befitting my status as an Uchiha."

The Hokage sighed and looked at Kakashi, who nodded his approval, before pulling out a c-rank mission scroll and saying, "Very well, I've been waiting for one of my more experienced teams to take this mission, but I think you should do fine, your mission is to escort Tazuna-san to the Land of Waves and protect him until he finishes the bridge he is building. Please send him in."

The chuunin by the door that the Hokage had called to at the end opened the door he was standing at and said something to someone on the other side, then an old man walked through the door and said, "These are the brats that will be protecting me?

A/N:Cliffie, sorry but I wanted to get the chapter out, Please Review and give me ideas that will branch off of the canon story, like how she meets Kimimaro and stuff like that, I don't want to do a completely canon story.
