I woke up this morning in the middle of the forest two hours late for my test, but that wasn't all. Tenten was sleeping right there next to me or to be more precise on me. Her hands were holding on to my head, bringing it into her chest. My hands were wrapped around her waist bring her body closer to mine. I was wondering if I really lost my virginity here on the forest floor but that idea was quickly diminished as my memories of last night came back.

I was comforting Tenten and we ended up falling asleep out here. With difficulty I removed my head from Tenten clutches, who knew she was so straight forward. "Wake up, wake up", I said as I gently shuck Tenten awake.

"Huh Naruto, what are you doing here", Tenten asked still not fully awake.

"We fell asleep in the forest and I'm two hours late for my sensei's test!."

"What time is it", Tenten asked sounding awake now.

"Its 10:00Am."

"Oh no I had to meet up with my team for some D-ranked missions. Guy sensei is going to have me do something ridiculous to make up for it like running around the village 500 times!", Yelled Tenten.

"Well you better get going."

"Okay, thanks for waking me up Naruto. Ill talk with you later", Tenten said as she took off. I looked at myself and I was dirty covered in dirt and grass. I needed a shower, Hoping that my sensei would be three hours late again I went home. When I got home I quickly brushed my teeth took a shower and changed my clothes. I had multiple pairs of the same outfit in my closet. I put some kunai and shuriken in the pouch all ninja's had attached to there leg. I didn't have time to eat ramen so I got two pieces of wheat bread and caried one in my mouth and the other in my hand.

Once I arrived at the training ground I had finish my first peice of bread and stared to eat my second after sitting beside ino. "Your late Naruto", Ino said sounding pissed. I knew our sensei was going to be late again so I didn't come too early", I lied. I heard a 'Hn' come from Sasuke that made me roll my eyes in annoyance. If he had something to say why didn't he just say it.

"Didn't sensei tell us not to eat breakfast Naruto", said Ino.

"No he said you might not want to eat breakfast which means we could if we wanted to", I replied taking another bite out of the bread. After that we just sat in silence waiting for our sensei to arrive. I looked over at my teammates. Eventually we'd have to work as a team to complete missions in the future. I wondered how that going to turn out. Ten minutes later our sensei can be seen walking towards us. Once he reached us I covered my ear before Ino screamed.

"YOUR THREE HOURS LATE AGAIN."

"Sorry I helped an old lady cross the street and then she asked me to help her with her groceries", Kakashi said while rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"LAIR", Ino screamed at him again. It was obvious to me that our sensei was always going to be late. I hope Ino didn't scream at him everytime he was. Good thing it wasn't Sakura on our team or else we'd be deaf really soon.

"Okay now to get down to business", Kakashi said taking out two bells from his pocket. "The test is simple you have to get these bells from me with in the time limit. Who ever doesn't get a bell will be tied to the post and wont get lunch. Oh and if you don't get a bell you'll be sent back to the academy. You have three hours, begin!."

We all took off in different places hiding ourselves from Kakashi. I could tell from the start that something was wrong with this test. Iruka sensei told us we had a three man cell with a jonin supervisor but if one of us is really sent back to the academy it would be a two man cell. But that would mean that getting the bells isn't what were suppose to do. Then what's the real test. I'm missing something important but what is it. I stared down at Kakashi from where I was. He hadn't move a muscle since we began. He was just, reading?

What the hell. Was he making fun of us. Wait I have to stay calm and think of the best course of action... I couldn't think off anything. Slowly my hand went in my pouch and pulled out multiple shuriken that I threw at Kakashi with deadly accuracy. Kakashi being an elite jonin easily dodged the shuriken and sent a lazy glance in my direction with his one, uncovered eye.

I jumped out of my hiding spot and charged at Kakashi. I jumped and sent a kick at his face which he ducked under, never taking his eye off the book. I lunged for the bells but before I could grab them Kakashi caught my hand. I substituted with a log and appeared behind Kakashi. I sent a kick at his face that connected before Kakashi's body turned into a log.

I hissed my teeth in annoyance and searched for the jonin. I easily found him behind me with his face still in that book. I know I couldn't beat a jonin but I was sure going to prove myself to him by making him put away that damn book away. Channeling chakra to my feet I charged at Kakashi with low chunin level speed. I threw a punch at his stomach which he caught with his free hand.

I continued my attacked by sending a right kick towards his face. With incredible speed his free hand came and blocked my kick. I sent a left hook at him, aimed for his left side. I knew he could block this seeing as he was reading with his left hand. Kakashi simply dodged the attack by jumping to the side. I threw some more shuriken at him trying to keep the onslaught going.

Kakashi dodged my shuriken once more but anticipating this I attached ninja wire to them so they would come back at him. The shurikens rapt around Kakashi and ripped him to shreds but of course Kakashi body turned into a log. "Your not bad Naruto but then again your not that good either", Kakashi said trying to rile me up.

"Don't worry Kakashi I have something up my sleeves that I think will surprise you."

"We'll see but I warn you I'm not easy to surprise."

"Him being a jonin an all will quickly pick up on this trick but if I can surprise him I can steal the bell before he does. Yosh I can do this. Huh I think I've been spending too much time with lee."

I took a deep breathe and started doing the hand seals necessary for my justu. "Wind Style: Summer Breeze", I said in a soft whisper. This was a simple D-rank justu I had created. Soon after winds that weren't too strong but wasn't necessarily soft started to fill the area. It was strong enough to blow lots of leaves of the trees and now leaves were everywhere floating along with the breeze. "Prepare yourself Kakashi because here I come."

Once that was said I disappeared without a trace, no puff of smoke or even a flash. With wide eyes Kakashi barely dodged a kick aimed for his back that would have connected if it wasn't for his years of experience and fast reaction time. Said person who kicked at Kakashi disappeared again. I appeared in front of Kakashi this time hoping to land a punch on his face.

Just like my last attack Kakashi barley dodged it but I didn't missed a beat and disappeared and reappeared behind him and kicked him in the back. Kakashi flew forward but quickly gain his balance by rolling over. He then finally put his book away and got in a defensive stance. "I've got to end this soon before he figures it out. I have to move even faster and grab that bell."

"How is a genin moving with such speed. He's almost as fast as the fourth using the Flying thunder god justu", Thought Kakashi as he prepared himself for the next attack. I appeared in front of Kakashi and sent a barrage of punches and kicks at him that he dodged. Then I disappeared and appeared behind Kakashi and sent a kick at the side of his face but before the kick connected I disappeared again in front of Kakashi who had just moved his hand to block my attack. He had a shocked expression on his face when he saw me in front of him.

"The bells are mine Hatake", I thought as I lunged for the bells. My finger touched the bell before it and the person it was attached to disappeared just like I was doing. Appearing beside me Kakashi gave me a quick but hard chop to the neck with the side of his hand. Suddenly the wind stopped and all the leaves fell to the floor as I crashed to the ground with an audible but soft 'ahh'. I was losing consciousness.

"Well you sure didn't disappoint me Naruto. That was a very smart strategy. You used the wind to spread leaves everywhere and substituted with the leaves. But because of the wind there was no smoke which made you appeared to disappear, which will trick your opponent into believing that you have great speed. It very simple and thought out but the time you can use it for is short and it can be used against you like it was now. But lets not focus on the negative, you did surprise me", Kakashi said with his famous eye smile.

"I don't want your praise ... Baka, I thought before everything went black, I want the bell."

1 hour & 30 minutes Later.

I woke up on the floor, in the middle of the training ground. I slowly sat up because my vision was blurry. I looked around, what was I doing before I black out? After looking around and seeing the training post with a clock on it that said 1:00 pm. I suddenly remembered fighting Kakashi for the bells. I was out for an hour and thirty minutes after he chopped me in the neck. Now I only had one hour left to get a bell.

Wait getting the bells aren't the goal of the test. There was something else but I was missing it. I was thinking about the fight me and Kakashi had, trying to see if there was a clue. "Hmmm a genin isn't suppose to be able to beat a jonin by himself. But the goal isn't to beat him but get a bell. My fight with Kakashi proves that I'm not strong enough to do even that. Wait one genin probably can't get a bell from a jonin but three genin working together could do it. I need to find Sasuke and Ino fast. I just hope they'll listen to me." With that I set off to find my teammates.

I easily found Ino hiding and watching Kakashi fighting Sasuke from afar in the trees. She had bruises on her so I guessed she had fought Kakashi too. "Hey Ino", I said in a soft whisper.

"Naruto? I thought you were unconscious" Ino replied thankfully in a whisper.

"I was but I'm awake now. I'm guessing you tried to get a bell and failed too."

"Yeah. Now Sasuke-kun is trying", Ino said while pointing to where Sasuke was battling Kakashi.

"He'll fail too, Kakashi is an elite jonin its impossible for a genin to beat him." Surprisingly Ino didn't shout at me.

"So what can we do at this rate we'll all be sent back to the academy."

"We have to work together as a team to get the bell."

"Are you sure your ready to fight already you were just knocked unconscious?" I looked at Ino strangely. Did Ino Yamanaka just showed concern for me. Well that's new.

"Yeah I'm a fast healer."

"Your injury aside, how are we going to get everyone to agree to this if we all know one person will have to fail."

"I'll explain once we talk to Sasuke." Ino gave me a nod and then continued to watch Sasuke fight Kakashi. I was watching too and could easily see that Sasuke had improved just like I thought. He managed to touch the bell like I did but ended up inside the ground with his head sticking out. With a chuckle I said to Ino "Lets go get him out."

Ino didn't need to be told twice as she rushed to Sasuke's aid. "Sasuke-kun don't worry we'll get you out of there." Sasuke's reply was a 'Hn' as he kept his head up but it was obvious to me that he was embarrassed. After fifteen minutes of digging we finally got Sasuke out of the ground.

"I touch the bell just now, next time ill take it", Sasuke says with resolve.

"You'll just fail, give up."

"Give up! I'm different from you two. I'm a Uchiha elite with an ambition to fulfill, I can't be sent back to the academy now", Sasuke says in anger.

"Your only an elite Uchiha because there's only one other Uchiha left and he defected from the village."

"What you say", Sasuke says as he grabbed the front of my clothes and bring me closer to him.

With a blank expression on my face I said, "If you don't want to go back to the academy now then do as I say."

"Why would I liste-."

"Sasuke-kun just please hear him out", Ino said in a pleading tone while cutting him off. Sasuke hissed his teeth as he let go of my shirt.

"We have to work as a team to get the bells."

"No I refuse, this is an obvious trick. You two are trying to use me to get the bells and then when I get them you take them from me and I get sent back."

"What a cocky son of bitch. I knew your inflated ego would get in the way. If you want to pass this test then let me finish what I was saying. I don't think that getting the bells is the real answer to the test."

"Your reasons being?", Sasuke asked.

"Well Iruka sensei clearly told us that things are done by a three man cell with a jonin supervisor. If one of us gets sent back to the academy this would become two man cell. Plus an apprenticeship even though its composed of two people, its one genin who has a jonin who will personally teach them."

"I admit that's a reasonable argument but what if your wrong?"

"If I'm wrong you two can have the bells and ill go back to the academy."

"Fine I'm in."

"What about you Ino."

"Lets do it."

"Okay so hears the plan."

15 MINUTES LATER

"Okay we have thirty minutes left. Remember the plan", I said to Sasuke and Ino. They each gave a nod showing that they understood.

"Okay lets go." We walk back to the front of the training ground where we met up two hours and thirty minutes ago. Low and behold There was kakashi reading his book. His face was red from him blushing and he was giggling like a girl with blood running from his nose. Were all jonin this disfunctional

"Hmm you three decided to work together, well that's interesting", Kakashi said noticing us walking towards him. Kakashi put his book in his pocket and got in his fighting stance ."Show me what you got." With that me and Sasuke charged at Kakashi. We ran in a zigzag pattern switching sides with each other. When I switched sides with Sasuke for the 5th time, I lunged at Kakashi.

I sent a kick at his face which he blocked with both of his hands. Doing a backflip, I flipped over Sasuke who was right under me, ready for a surprise attack. He aimed to punch Kakashi in the gut but Kakashi jumped backwards. "Fire Style: Fire Ball justu", Sasuke shouted as he sent a huge ball of fire at Kakashi.

Shortly after I let out me justu also. "Wind Release: Giant Air Bullet." My Bullet of air was five times its normal size. It collided with Sasuke's fire ball making it bigger and wilder. The Fireball exploded causing dirt and smoke to cover the training ground like a mist. I covered my face with my hand so nothing would get in my eyes. After the dust cleared, I looked at where it had exploded only to see a wall with dog faces on it at the top.

I started searching for Kakashi and at this point Sasuke was too. He wasn't anywhere to be found. I looked at Sasuke and he did the same. We both jumped backwards as two arms came out the ground. After not catching anyone Kakashi came out the ground. "I won't fall for the same trick twice Kakashi", Sasuke said smugly.

While Sasuke was trying to show off I saw a bird land on the training field. Okay Ino was ready now we just had to get her an opening. I ran past Sasuke and headed towards Kakashi with great speed due to me channeling chakra into my feet. I jumped and tried to hit Kakashi with an axe kick. Seeing this Kakashi put up both his hand above his head. I knew he had fell for my trick. I kept the axe kick motion( which was flipping in the air while bring down one foot to kick Kakashi) and instead of kicking at Kakashi I landed on Kakashi's hands and used chakra to keep me attached to him.

Kakashi brought his hands down but before he did I jumped off and was now behind him. I sent a kick at his head while still in mid air which he ducked under. "Wind Style: Cutting wind", I shouted as I blew sharp winds at Kakashi. Kakashi's body got cut into four pieces before turning into a log. "Man, that's annoying", I said before looking around for Kakashi.

I found him fighting against Sasuke who was attacking him none stop. I rushed over to give Sasuke a hand. Sasuke, after an attempted to punch Kakashi got kick in the gut which sent him flying backwards towards me horizontally. I helped Sasuke to get back on his feet and we both ran at Kakashi. While we ran at Kakashi we looked at each other and gave a nod. It was time to pass this retarded test and go our different ways.

Sasuke was the first to attack. He jumped up in the air and sent a kick at Kakashi's face. Kakashi blocked the kick and flipped Sasuke over, while Sasuke was still in mid air. Before Kakashi could deliver a kick to Sasuke's stomach, I appeared out of no where and kicked at his chest. Kakashi jumped back to avoid getting kicked in the chest.

Sasuke landed on his feet and quickly threw two kunai at Kakashi. The kunai missed and hit the floor right where Kakashi landed. "Boom", whispered Sasuke before the spot Kakashi was just standing in exploded. Not expecting Kakashi to get caught by that I quickly turn around to see Kakashi's fist heading towards my face. I dodged the punch or tried to as it slightly grazed my face.

Kakashi kept attacking keeping me on the defensive barley dodging and blocking his attacks. "A little help would be nice you know", I said annoyed with the lack of teamwork. Not being able to keep up with the highly trained jonin, I was sent flying with a kick to the face by Kakashi. Making an opening for Ino to get the bells is more difficult than I thought it would be.

Even with me and Sasuke now working together it was challenging. It was scary how strong jonin's were. I looked over at the alarm clock Kakashi had set on the post to see how much time we had. My eyes bulged out my eye sockets because of what I saw. We had five minutes to get the bells or it would all be over. I know that I didn't think that the true purpose was to get the bells but there was no 100% guarantee that that was true.

Having the bells would mean that we pass for sure. I rather have that than a lousy 50% chance. Without missing a beat I dashed towards Kakashi yelling behind me to Sasuke, "We have freaking five minutes left." This was one of the few times you'd see an expression on Sasuke's face, this one was of shock. Turning my attention to Kakashi knowing that Sasuke was more than likely behind me I recklessly charged in engaging him in a tai-justu battle.

Punch after punch was easily evaded by Kakashi. Hoping to slow him down I did a sweep kick but Kakashi jumps over it but Sasuke then appears and sends a kick at Kakashi's chest. Kakashi uses his left hand and caught Sasuke's kick and then he then flipped Sasuke over. Not wanting the attack to end I send a kick aimed towards Kakashi's chin.

Kakashi barely dodged the kick by flipping his body backwards. He then put both his hands on the ground flipping himself over. I grabbed Sasuke's hands before he could even hit the floor and hurled him towards Kakashi. Sasuke and Kakashi started to have a tai-justu battle. I rushed to go help Sasuke having a plan that I think might work.

While running toward Kakashi and Sasuke I put two of my finger in my mouth and whistled. After I did a bird landed on my shoulder. It was a simple pigeon, it was also Ino. I whispered to Ino saying, "When I tell you to I need you to transform into a shuriken okay, also tell Sasuke that when I throw a shuriken towards Kakashi to get behind him and throw one at the same time and then make as many bushins of the shuriken as he can make. When your close to Kakashi transform back into a bird and snatch the bells. We have one shot at this so we can't fail." The bird gave a nod of understanding a flew off.

I replaced Sasuke in his battle with Kakashi so he wouldn't notice Sasuke talking to a bird. Dodging a punch from Kakashi I jumped away gaining myself some distance away from him. I checked the clock only to noticed that one minute is left. I Looked at Sasuke who was running behind Kakashi. Sasuke locked eyes with me and gave a nod showing he got the message.

I put my right hand behind my back and drop a smoke bomb. The smoke bomb covered the smoke Ino would make turning into a shuriken. Out of the smoke screen came my voice shouting, "Massive bushin no justu", followed by multiple shuriken, 30 in total. A large amount of shuriken were heading towards Kakashi from the front and back since Sasuke followed my instructions.

Kakashi had a stayed still not looking worried at all knowing that there was only two real shuriken the others being illusions. At least that's what I'm hoping he believes. With the shuriken now closing in Kakashi reached out for two shurikens, one from the front and one from the back. The second Kakashi caught the real shurikens sent by me and Sasuke, a shuriken transformed with a puff of smoke into a bird and caught the two bells that were on Kakashi with its mouth.

The bird landed on the ground and everyone froze as the alarm went off. Ino broke the ice by transforming back into herself and screaming, "We did it", while jumping and raising her hand that held the bells in the air. Sasuke had a smile on his face and I released a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Well done. You guys were able to put you differences aside and work together to accomplish a common goal. Not only did you pass the test by using teamwork you also managed to get the bells with splendid teamwork without even have practiced as a team together before. Team seven is official now. Be here tomorrow at 8:00 am (I made a mental note to be here by 11) so we can take our first mission."

Once Kakashi was done with his speech he shushined away. Now that we had passed the test we were officially genin. Even thought I had just accomplished a goal I had, to become a ninja after failing three times all I could think about was getting stronger. I saw how big the gap between a genin and a jonin was and was now determined to shorten it as quickly as possible.

Leaving the training ground without Sasuke or Ino noticing I headed home. Once I was home I took a shower and got something to eat. I went to bed to get some rest, setting my alarm to go off three hours later so I could get up and train and learn the Kage bushin no justu that I had copied down from the forbidden scroll.

THREE HOURS LATER

My alarm went of waking me up from my sleep. Getting up I turn off the alarm and got dressed. Then I got then Paper that had the kage bushin no justu written on it and heading to training ground 7 with the determination to get this justu down tonight. Arriving at the training ground I read off the paper. The kage bushin no justu unlike the bushin no justu creates a solid clone of one's self. These clones can fight and once dispelled the justu caster will receive the memories of the dispelled clone. This justu takes up a large amount of chakra which is the reason it's such a highly ranked justu. After reading I started trying to do the justu. For the next hour lots of smoke can be seen coming from the forest.

The justu was a fairly simple justu but it could help my training immensely making me learn things ten times faster or more depending on how many clones I could make. Deciding to find that out right now I made the necessary hand signs and whispered " Kage bushin no justu. Holy cow", I said after seeing one thousand clones of me covering the forest.

"Konoha better prepare cause I'm going to grow into a monster at this rate", I thought with an evil grin.
