The Lazy Maelstrom

By The Obsidian blade

Chapter four-tests and the start of wave

Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke were standing in front of the silver haired jounin sensei named Kakashi. Naruto was staring the man down, trying to figure out where he felt the presence before. Sasuke was staring off into space somewhere, probably plotting ways to kill his brother. "Well first things first, lets get to know each other." The three of them looked at him funny before Naruto spoke.

"Why don't you go first since we only met you today." Kakashi looked at him lazily before eye smiling at the new gennin.

"Sure," he replied. "Well let's see, my name is Hatake Kakashi, my likes are, well, you probably aren't old enough. My dislikes are well I have many dislikes. My hobbies are many. And my dream, well, I haven't really put much thought into it. Since you asked me to go first I guess your next Blondie." The three genin sweat dropped at his intro. All they learned was his god damned name.

'And here I thought I was the lazy one. This guy has me beat by a mile.' Naruto stretched a little before answering. "My name is Nara Naruto. My likes are drawing, food, stars, and sleep. My dislikes are spoiled goods, bad drawings and people who wake me up. My hobbies are star gazing and drawing. My dream is well, surprisingly to become Hokage." The other two genin sweat dropped at his intro. Each one word was told lazily.

Kakashi pointed at Sakura. "My name Haruno Sakura, my likes." The girl's eye traveled over to Sasuke. When they landed she let out a squeal. "My hobbies are." Again her eyes traveled to Sasuke with the same results. "My dream." Her eyes did the same thing but this time she had a large blush and she almost fainted.

"And your dislikes?" Kakashi asked.

"Ino-bunta and lay good for nothing bastards!" the pink haired girl yelled. Naruto and Kakashi flinched.

'Great, just great, she's a fan girl. Why did the old man put me on this team? Oh yeah, it's because even though I passed with flying colors I still had the worst grads in the class. I hate karma.' Naruto shook his head and toned out Sasuke's intro or at least tried.

"My name is Sasuke. My likes are none and I have many dislikes." His gaze traveled to the pink haired girl and then to the blonde. "I only have one hobby which is training. As for my dream, no ambition, it is to kill a certain man and revive my clan." Naruto looked at him oddly before sighing and cupping his face. Why was he stuck with a fangirl and a lunatic hell bent on revenge and was most likely gay. Sakura looked at the teen with hearts in her easy Kakashi thoughts were a lot like Naruto's. the only reason he had the Uchiha on his team was because the council forced him to so he could groom the brooding teen top kill Naruto. That was certainly not going to happen if the silver haired jounin could help it.

Kakashi sighed before he lifted himself off the ground and looked at his students. "Alright, I want you three to meet me at eight AM at training ground seven for survival training." The three genin looked at him oddly before Sakura asked the question.

"What do you mean survival training?" her voice was stuttering slightly. As she spoke. What the hell did he mean by this? Didn't they go through all the survival training necessary? Weren't they ready to take a life?

The man eye smiled at the group. "You three don't know do you? The three of you aren't going to like this. Should I tell you? Hmmm, nah, I shouldn't." The group just told him that he should tell them. Kakashi smirked under his mask. "Well the genin test if a fraud. The real one is distributed by the jounin senseis them selves. We are the ones who decide if you are ready or not. And the survival rate is something to take in consideration. It's thirty three point three or something like that." The silver haired man raised his hands open, extending all extremities. "Basically out of ten teams only three make the cut." Sasuke and Sakura had a shocked look while Naruto looked at him lazily. He was kind of expecting something like this. Sure, no one told him but the genin tests in the academy were way to easy. It was as if they wanted to build up a fake sense of security. The jounin smiled at the group before speaking. "Oh, before I forget, don't eat breakfast. And Naruto please stay so I can have a word with you."

Sakura snickered at the blonde before fallowing her Sasuke-kun, pestering the dark haired teen for a date. Naruto looked at his jounin sensei. "Alright Naruto, what is with the genjutsu and why did you hide your chakra control from Jiraiya?" Naruto looked at the jounin before sighing. There was no way to get out of explaining this one to Kakashi.

"The reason why I wear this genjutsu is because I don't like the idea of becoming a lab rat." Kakashi nodded. "Quit frankly I did not hide my chakra control from hentai. He knew that my chakra control rivals that of a medic. I asked him to lie about it to see if the old man Hokage would try and see what I can do with his own eyes. I am guessing he is the one that told I 'hid my chakra control' from hentai?" Kakashi nodded.

"But why did you?" Kakashi asked with a quizzical look.

Naruto sighed before rubbing his temples. "Is it necessary to tell you?" Kakashi nodded slightly. Naruto groaned out in annoyance. "Alright, the reason why is because I want him to keep a close eye on me. If he knew my chakra control was perfect than he would not have been so tempted to watch my exam. I know the laws of the village like I know a chess board and I know that my clan will no allow ANBU to keep on my tail so the old man is going to have to do the next best thing to try and figure out my real talent, spy himself. But there is only so much of my abilities that he could figure out and the ones he wants to figure out are clan jutsus. Even if he is the Hokage it is forbidden, even for him to try and figure out clan secrets. One he delves to far he will be like putty ion my hands for one request. I will tell you the request in time as I trust you more than him but not right now. The walls could be watching as we speak. Now, how did you figure out about the genjutsu if you didn't actually reveal your sharingan?" Kakashi nodded slightly. He knew that Naruto was telling the truth. The Hokage was barely in his life while Kakashi was constantly there. He knew that Naruto would tell him later.

Kakashi smiled at the teen. "Well I wasn't the one who figured that part out, it was Kurenai." Naruto's eyes widened slightly behind the sunglasses before he scowled. He should have recognized her yes off the bat. They were a type of doujutsu that was always active and could see through ANY genjutsu. (Bullshitting it right now) the doujutsu didn't have a name but it was still useful none the less. "You are lucky she doesn't hold any ill will against you Naruto." Naruto nodded before getting up. Kakashi placed a hand to stop the teen. "Now on to the fact that you are wearing sunglasses. What is the reason you are wearing them?" Naruto sighed before looking around. He closed his eyes before taking red lenses off. When he opened them he revealed a fully developed sharingan. Sure the color schemes were different; Naruto's was ocean blue with a silver pupil and silver tomes while his was red with black tomes and tomes. Kakashi inspected them with a critical eye before revealing his own for further inspection. He sighed as he got up. "It seems that the look is so you don't waste chakra in revealing them if I am correct?"

The blonde nodded before putting the shades back on. "Yeah, I asked Kyuubi to create these eyes for me. I don't really use it to copy as to get rid of the reduced vision in a technique I am developing. I can activate it but it's more subtle then a normal person would. Thanks to my large chakra reserves I can keep it up longer periods. I also use the eye's looks as an intimidation factor. If they think I have it active they are tempted to use less jutsus that most likely would have me dead" Kakashi absorbed the info before nodding, knowing that the Sandaime was not watching at the moment.

"Don't worry Naruto, I won't tell Hokage-sama about this." Naruto nodded. "But you are to not use it unless I give the order. The reason why is that I don't want the council getting a hold of it. I will teach you how you to use it as we go on if you pass the test. Now get some sleep, you are going to need it." Naruto nodded. The man eye smiled before disappearing in a flurry of leaves. Naruto sighed before looking at the sky. It was around four p.m. and Yoshino was expecting him to be home around two hours earlier. Naruto concentrated his chakra and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Naruto reappeared in front of the main house in the compound. It was a simple two story house with about five rooms and four bathrooms. All the training stuff was around the compound. Naruto sighed before walking inside and slipping off his boots and walked into the kitchen. On the way he allowed the genjutsu to shimmer off, showing off his foxy features.

He smelled food cooking for lunch before he walked in on Yoshino cooking. He looked around and saw Shikato and Shikamaru at the table waiting for their lunch to finish. Naruto sighed before making a sound, telling them all that he was home. He took a seat at the table and slumped into a chair. He started small talk with Shikamaru and Shikato, telling them why he was late. Shikato seemed to understand as he knew Kakashi's tardiness problem. Yoshino came in and delivered the food and sat down on the opposite side of Naruto. "So why were you late?" she asked in a bone chilling voice. Naruto sighed before muttering 'Kakashi.' She nodded; knowing the man's antics. "You're lucky that you had that excuse or I would have maimed you young man." Naruto nodded.

Naruto walked onto the training field about a half hour till ten. He saw Sakura fuming up a storm and Sasuke leaning against one of the three large stumps. Naruto looked around and sighed. The place had a lake to the side and a small forested area around them. The place was an ideal playing field for his techniques. Naruto sighed as he sat down near a stump and fell as sleep, ignoring the shouts from Sakura telling him that he was supposed to be punctual, not late. Naruto fell asleep as soon as a landed against it.

Kakashi appeared in a puff of smoke about thirty minutes later. Sakura started to berate him as well. "Mah, mah Sakura. You see there was this old lady trying to cross the roads and I had to help her across it." Everyone sweat dropped at the silver haired man's excuse. He looked at them before pulling out an alarm clock and setting it on a rock. "This clock is set to noon." The man then indicated to the two bells that were attached to his belt. "That is the amount of time you have to retrieve these bells from."

Sakura looked at the bells closely. "But Kakashi-sensei, there are only two of them."

"Ah so you noticed. The two people who retrieve the bells get to be on the team and make the cut. The loser who doesn't will be tied to the post, forced to watch us eat lunch, be sent back tot eh academy and stay on that post till sundown." Sakura's and Sasuke's stomachs growled at the comment. That is why he wanted them not top eat breakfast. He wanted them to starve and make it their drive to get a bell. "It starts when I say go. Now go!" Sakura and Sasuke disappeared out of sight while Naruto stayed against the post. "Aren't you going to at least make and attempt?"

Naruto shook his head. "I see no point in it. I know the point of the test and I know that I can match you easily. The problem is that I most likely can't get them to side with me unless I bring solid proof of it. Sasuke believes that he is more powerful then the Hokage and can take you out easily and Sakura is a loyal fangirl. Words with those two are a bad idea. Sleep is a lot better than trying to reason with those two peons." The blonde closed his eyes and went to sleep. When he woke up he found himself tied to a post with Kakashi leaning in front of him with a smile.

"Nice to see you a wake sleeping beauty." Naruto looked at him before questioning why he was tied up to a post. "Unlike you these tow made an attempt at gaining the bells. You just sat there and slept." Kakashi got up and walked over to the stone nearby. He placed his hand on the stone. "This is a memorial stone placed for those who fought in war. These men and woman are the ones who have fallen in the battles of time. Some of these men and woman were my greatest friends and family." He sighed before looking at the group. "A lesson I learned from one of those friends is this. Those who don't fallow the rules are trash. Those who betray their friends are worse than trash." He eye smiled at the group before dropping two bento boxes in front of Sakura and Sasuke. "I am going to give you guys another chance at this. I will come back in one hour. For that time you two are to eat those. But if you feed Naruto then you three automatically fail. Do I make my self clear?" the group nodded before he smiled and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Naruto sighed as his stomach growled. Sasuke looked at him before handing him some food. Naruto looked at the black haired genin quizzically. The teen sure as hell didn't seem like the type to willingly give him some food so why would he do that now. "Don't question it dobe, just accept it. Whether I like it or not I need you and Sakura to pass this thing and you with an empty stomach is a bad idea." Naruto nodded.

"There is only one problem with your theory," Naruto voiced out. "I have no arms." The blonde's was in a lazy dead pan voice. Sasuke groaned in announce before picking up the chop sticks and lifting up some of the food to his mouth.

"Speak of this and I will kill you in the worst way possible dobe." Naruto mentally scoffed that that. The black haired teen would get killed with in an instant. Naruto nodded and bit into the food. Sakura fallowed suit, not wanting to disappoint her Sasuke-kun. Sure, she thought the blonde was utterly useless but if Sasuke said that he needed him to have a full stomach that Kami be damned she was going to feed the pitiful blonde.

Storm clouds quickly rolled. Lightning struck everywhere as a big version of Kakashi's face with his hands in ma seal appeared in the clouds. "What have you fools done!" he boomed out in a thundering voice. "I thought I told you not to feed him! Why have you!

Sasuke was shivering, Sakura was about to faint and Naruto just stared at him lazily. Sasuke however was the first to speak. You said who ever abandons their squad is garbage right? So if he was out do to an empty stomach than he would only be useful as a human shield." Naruto mentally growled at the comment of being called human. He was not human damn it! Kakashi looked at his new team before appearing I a puff of smoke. The clouds were now gone and all that was left was the clear sky. "You three pass!" the silver haired man said with his thumb up. Sasuke's and Sakura's eyes widened a bit. Didn't he say of they fed him they would fail. They fed him and yet they passed. What kind of fucked up game was this? Where were the fucking cameras?

"What was the point of not letting us feed him if we were going to pass anyway?" Sasuke asked as his onyx eyes hardened.

"The point was team work Sasuke," Naruto said in a lazy tone. "The whole test was about team work. Think about it. We were supposed to get two bells form a jounin, a jounin. Do you really think that fresh genin like us are capable of taking one with out someone to help us?" Sasuke looked at him with an angered look. The teen would be bowing at his feet just offering up a blood sample for him to integrate into his blood and a scroll of his family's best jutsus when he got his sharingan. "He turned to Kakashi as he intervened and said that Naruto was right. "Good, now will someone please cut me loose? I'm chaffing in spots that I am not supposed." Kakashi laughed as he brought out a kunai and cut the ropes.

A/N Well that was fun. Sorry about the way everything played out but I really don't see Naruto, the way I played him out to be, doing anything really if he knew it would be useless to get there help. Sure he can go toe to toe with Kakashi but the would be the only one participating as Sasuke would just sit there and see how Naruto and Kakashi fought to see what he could copy and Sakura would do nothing. And please don't give me any bullshit about Naruto having the sharingan. The reason why Naruto has it is because it is really required in a jutsu that he is going to come up with in the near future. The way he has it right now is still experimental so it practically is useless. I will give a one word hint on it though, nexus. There is your hint. Naruto does not use his sharingan like an ordinary Uchiha does. Sure he uses it copy a jutsu but he does not use it right on the spot. He sues it so that he can write down the hand seals later and work on the jutsu. Now review or else. (brings out a metal bat.)
