Soory bout the wait, here I go, I wonder if I'm rusty.
Thank you Wal () for giving me a kick start there, the story will now continue.
From here things are going to divert from the main story line. Gaara will come in with others but it will not follow Naruto.
As the clones closed in on Naruto, Usagi took this chance to move from her hiding place to where she could sense the soul of Sasuke.
"Psst," His head snapped up at the small sound, "Up here." He turned to look at the blond bunny rabbit.
"What do you want?" his eyes were narrowed into the Uchiha glare that was perfected over generations and practiced by every child in the clan, it was a hard technique to master but one all Uchiha's had to learn.
"Look at Naruto, no matter how hard he is trying he can't even get Sensei to put down his book, even if you are the best in class, I doubt you could do more than make him put down his book." Usagi, motioned for him to look at the scene in the clearing where Naruto was unsuccessfully attacking the one eyed Ninja.
"Your point," Sasuke narrowed his eyes even further, had this mere girl with no social background dared to insult him and Uchiha.
"Mypoint, is that we need to work together, one can distract him while the others go for the bells," she turns to the clearing where Naruto is beginning to get desperate. "I need you to go out and try to attack Kakashi-sensei while I get Naruto's attention; we will then try and get the bells."
Sasuke glared one more time before deciding on what to do.
"Fine, this had better work out though," he then took out a kunai and jumped from the bush.
Usagi also took off, but instead of running at the grey haired teacher she ran at the orange-clad boy, grabbing him and disappearing back into the brush. Leaving Sasuke fighting their teacher.
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( In the clearing)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Sasuke had just started attacking Kakashi, a combination of throwing different weapons at different angles, Jutsus and Taijutsu.
'He's good, I wont have time to read Icha Icha Paridice, damn I wanted to see if Hikari managed to get Sato, whoa' Kakashi dodged a double shirukin attack.
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((with Naruto and Usagi)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
"Usagiiiiiiii," Naruto whined, "Why did you stop me, I almost had him," he made to go back to the clearing when she grabbed his hair "OW"
"Shhh!"she motioned for him to be quiet, "I have a plan and if it works we may be able to get the bells."
"Oh!, why didn't you say that, Usa?" he turned eyes bright with anticipation and excitement,"
'I tried' Usagi though sarcastically "Saske is out there distracting Kakashi-sensei for us we need to focus on getting the bells. Here this is my idea."
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((in the clearing)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
'Damn where are the Dobe and Dumpling head, this guy's good' Sasuke was still attacking Kakashi however his body was tired and screaming for food, his stomach was sending small flashed of pain reminding him that he needed to eat.
'He's tiring' Kakashi smirked underneath his mask, it wouldn't be long now. Suddenly Naruto jumped from a bush. Both Sasuke and Kakashi turned their heads to it. Naruto put his hands together and called out.
"Oiroke no Jutsu" Immediately he turned into a very naked and very sexy, female version of Naruto.
Sasuke blushed and looked away while Kakashi, as the pervert he was carried on staring, a trickle of blood coming from his nose through his mask. Being fixated on the show that was going on in front of him he failed to notice Usagi and Naruto each sneaking up behind him and stealing a bell before running off after giving the thumbs up to a blushing Sasuke.
As soon as the clone had burst out of existence Sasuke threw a kunai at Kakashi's head bringing his attention back to their fight.
"Never take your eyes from your opponent!" he yelled, once again rushing at the grey haired shinobi.
The rest of the test went smoothly with each of the team taking turns to keep Kakashi occupied and distracted from the fact that he had lost the bells. Finally when the timer went all three came to the centre of the clearing, which was a bit worse for wear.
"And my evaluation, you fail," Kakashi seemed to smirk underneath his mask.
"But Kakashi-sensei," Usagi said in a sickly sweet voice, "We got the bells just like you asked us to," holding up and ringing the item in question
The one eyed jounin immediately twisted and put his hand to where the bells had been only to notice that there were none there.
"Here, Sasuke, you can have mine, I'm not that hungry and you did the most work in keeping him distracted, and by the way Naruto," Naruto turned to his friend, "If you dare use that with the same hairstyle so that it looks remotely like me again I will not only give you the beating of your life but also castrate you and then shave you bald!" Usagi tossed her bell to Sasuke who caught it in his left hand, didn't she want to eat as well.
Naruto gulped feeling the Killing intent and the power behind the glare that Usagi was giving him, he was never ever going to use Oiroke no Jutsu long wavy hair, unbound and going down the back might be good though.
Clearing his throat Kakashi got their attention again, "In light of recent developments, you pass. Does anyone know the aim of this test?"
"To get the bells?" Naruto tilted his head and looked at Kakashi with questioning eyes.
"No, teamwork. The test was designed so that you would work together to act as a team to get the bells,"
"How is that possible, there were only two bells?" Sasuke decided to voice his opinion on the matter.
"Precisely, one of the team would have to show selflessness and give their bell to the others, Usagi demonstrated this perfectly, and because of this teamwork, you pass, and here are your lunches, one each." he put the Bentos down in front of them, "Remember, those who disobey orders are trash, but those who abandon their team mates are worse than trash!" and with that he disappeared into smoke leaving the new team 7 to eat.

In the middle of a clearing, deep in the 'Forest of Death' a small black martin turned it's head towards the sky. Slowly its form shifted and warped until there was a young girl clad in a short purple skirt with a black top and holding a long glaive. She gently reached her mind out towards the sky and searched until she found the pulsing signatures of her other parents.
#Michi-mama, Ruka-papa, Setsu-mama,# each glow pulsed in reply to her calls.
#Hotaru-chan what is is, have you found Usa-chan yet?# Michiru's soft nature reached out over the distances of the cosmos.
#Hotaru, is there any news of Koneko?# Haruka's more brash and wild character seemed to disturb the air in anticipation of news of her little kitten.
#Quiet! Let her speak.# Setsuna's cool presence and commanding temperament hushed the other two.
#Yes I have found Usa-mama, she seems to be alright and is learning new things here in this world, I have joined her as a black martin. I think you should rendezvous with us at some point, oh and by the way, Usa-mama said that she said to the people here that she had amnesia so if she pretends not to know you don't be surprised.# Hotaru then relayed a lot of information about the world and the situations that Usagi was in.
All the while Anko was sitting on a branch high above Hotaru's head, she had arrived after Hotaru had become human and so did not know of her black martin shape.
'Hmm this girl looks fun, I like her blade, I think ill keep quiet about her for know, who knows what fun it might bring.'
She then leapt off and further into the forest while Hotaru finished her conversation and changed back into the small black fur ball that Konoha knows her as.
The sweet serenity that was left in the clearing left no indication of the two deadly presences that had been there.
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((FIN)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
