Harry and Naruto are walking down the street talking with each other in parseltongue so that any would be eavesdroppers wouldn't be able to tell what was said. "-So how are we going to do this bro? Any ideas?-" Harry begins to smirk.

"-Simple. We go all out, there will be no holding back.-" As Naruto begins to protest Harry holds up a hand. "-Yes, I know. However considering that he was a chunin and well on his way to being a jounin at our age…-" Naruto nods.

"-I see.-" He then sighs before punching a nearby wall. "-Damnit! I was hoping to hide my true abilities for a while longer.-" Harry shakes his head in agreement.

"- I know how you feel. However that doesn't change the fact that we have do what we have to do to pass.-" Staring at the sky, Harry's eyes become hooded. "-Besides… even if we show everything, which we might not have to, we can still hide any improvements we make afterwards.-" Scratching his chin, Naruto agrees. When they finally arrive, they're met with the sight of two VERY pissed genin. Naruto nervously waves to them.

"Um, hi guys." He sweat-drops as the glares increase. While Sasuke limits it to that, Sakura doesn't.

"YOU'RE LATE! DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS! IT'S TEN O'CLOCK, IF SENSEI WAS HERE WE'D HAVE FAILED BECAUSE OF YOU TWO BAKAS!" Blinking, Harry examines his wristwatch.

"Oro? It's ten?" Grabbing Naruto's arm, he compares the time on both. "Huh! Will you look at that. My watch must be running fast." Sakura's begins growling as her eyebrow twiches.

"You mean that your late on purpose, and to make it even better, you were aiming to be later?" At Harry's nod the twitching becomes more pronounced and redness begins to creep up her neck. Recognizing the danger signs (as he should), Naruto begins waving his hands.

"Whoa! You mean you didn't know?" Sakura's teeth begin grinding causing Naruto to wince.

"Know what?" This time it's Harry who answers her question while shrugging.

"That unless it's life or death… or maybe an important mission, Kakashi-sensei is always at LEAST three hours late." Harry leans his head back with his hands behind his head. "In fact there's a betting ring that he would be late to his own funeral. Though the question remains whether it would be on purpose or not…" Seeing their deadpan expressions he chuckles nervously. "What? I only did some research?" Sakura only smacks herself in the face mumbling.

"I wish I had known that before." Of course her stomach chooses that time to growl. "Epp!" Seeing Harry and Naruto laughing at her she blushes. "What? I listened to Kakashi-sensei and didn't eat. So did Sasuke-kun." Suddenly she realizes that neither Harry's or Naruto's stomachs are growling. "Please tell me that you didn't disobey sensei's order and eat?" Naruto simply grins before answering.

"Nope! We didn't eat breakfast… We drank it!" Sakura stares at them in disbelief.

"Er, correct me if I'm wrong but you can't drink breakfast… Unless you're a alcoholic, that is." She begins to tap her finger on her chin. "But you're not a alchoholic… Are you." She giggles at their dead pan expressions.

"Uh, let me think for a moment… no." Harry tells her sarcastically. "Anyways, we had a type of instant breakfast from my homeland. It's a powder you mix with milk and drink. All the nutrients you need are in it so it comes handy… In fact I think the Nara clan's trying to reverse engineer their own version." Harry explains, shrugging. Sakura gains a thoughtful look.

"You wouldn't have any on you, would you?" Naruto smirks before pulling a scroll from inside his jacket.

"As a matter of fact, we do. We figured that you would take sensei's orders literally. So what flavour do you want? We have strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla." Naruto asks as he unseals the items inside (A bottle of milk, a box of packets, two glasses, and two spoons). Sakura chooses Strawberry while Sasuke choose chocolate. As she takes a sip Sakura's eyes widen.

'This is good!' Suddenly a thought occurs to her. "Harry, how many calories are in this? I am on a diet you know." Harry begins to chuckle.

"Don't worry, you have nothing to worry about. In fact, there's less calories in it then in a bowl of cereal." Sakura gets a happy look on her face while Inner-Sakura's doing cartwheels.

'YES! It's yummy AND we don't have to worry about becoming fat! We have got to convince him to get us more of this stuff…' Sakura becomes a little unnerved at the grins on Harry's and Naruto's faces, almost as if they know about her alternate personality…

0000000000000 One Hour Later 00000000000000

After an hour more of waiting, Sakura's and Sasuke's annoyance has reached epic proportions. Meanwhile, Harry and Naruto are having a discussion of poisoning (Harry) Vs. not poisoning (Naruto) weapons. Suddenly a swirl of smoke and leaves appears signalling that the wait is over. Kakashi just stares at them before giving them a eye-smile and waving his hand. "Yo!" Needless to say that Naruto and Sakura don't take this too well.

"YOUR LATE!" The volume is so great that Kakashi almost gets whiplash from the sound waves hitting him. Using all of his experience as a jounin and ANBU captain, Kakashi rapidly comes up with the perfect excuse.

"Sorry, I got lost on the road of life." Kakashi smiles at the expected answer of 'LIAR!' from Sakura and Naruto, Harry's, however' pisses him off.

"Just great. We got a drug addict as a teacher. My life is now complete." Harry states as he rubs the bridge of his nose as if to ward off a massive headache. Sakura blinks at him in confusion while sweat-dropping.

"Er, what are you talking about?" Harry gives her a smirk before answering.

"Simple. The only way that I know of allowing you to get lost on a non-existent road is during a hallucination, nee-chan." Turning towards Kakashi, his eyes begin to twinkle in hidden mirth. "So… What are you on?" Kakashi's glare intensifies.

"I'm not on drugs, understood?" Harry simply nods with a grin. "Good. Now for the test." With that Kakashi takes out a alarm clock and two bells. The alarm clock he sets on one of the training logs before tying the bells to his waist. "Now, the objective of this exercise is to take these bells from me before time runs out. If you don't, you'll be tied to the stumps, forced to watch me eat these very delicious lunches." He blinks a little before narrowing his eye as he hears no growling stomachs. "You guys didn't disobey my order and eat breakfast, did you?" His students (with the exception of Sasuke) give him serene smiles before shaking their heads no. 'Hmm, they're hiding something…' Before his thoughts can continue, Sakura interrupts.

"Sensei, why are there only two bells?" Her eye twiches as Kakashi chuckles.

"Simple really. Who ever doesn't get a bell will be sent back to the Academy." The grin behind his mask (as well as the mirth creating it) grows as he sees the shocked look on his students faces, not noticing the calculating look on Harry's. "You may use any weapons or jutsu at your disposal, for in order to get a bell… You must come at me with a intent to kill." Sakura gasps in disbelief.

"But sensei! We might hurt or even kill you!" Naruto nods emphatically.

"Yeah! I mean you couldn't dodge a eraser!" However, Kakashi's next words piss him off and cause him to charge.

"In the shinobi world, those who bark loudest are always the weakest." With a shout Naruto charges only to wind up face-first in the dirt with Kakashi holding him down. "Now I didn't say start." The various genin have similar thoughts going through their mind.

'So… So fast!' Seeing the surprise on their faces, Kakashi gives them an eye-smile.

"I think I may be beginning to like you." With that he allows Naruto to get up. "Well… Ready, set, go!" And with that they all disappear. Stretching his senses, Kakashi locates two of his genin fairly quickly. 'Hmm. There's Sakura and Sasuke… but where are the other two?' Focusing, his eyes widen. 'Interesting. I'm sensing several people with their chakra. If I was a normal nin I would probably think that they're clones. I wonder…' Making as if he's scratching under his Hitai-ate, he raises it slightly so to "Peek" with his Sharingan eye. After a second he lets it drop. 'Hmm, I wonder how they got those Ofuda to release a cloud of their combined chakras…?' Meanwhile in a nearby bush, Harry is watching the lazy jounin while thinking.

'Hopefully those Ofudas me and Naruto placed around the area earlier will confuse him long enough so that either me or Naruto can figure this out, cause somethings not right here.' Harry begins to list what he knows. 'Ok, one: He's a jounin while we're genin, because of that the scales are tipped in his favor. Two: There's only two bells, so only two people can pass…!' Harry's eyes widen before he smacks himself in the face. 'I'm an idiot.' This of course catches Kuro's attention.

'Not to disagree with you being an idiot but… What are you going on about now?' After Harry explains Kuro falls silent for a few seconds. '… I must admit, I'm impressed. And speaking from experience, that's hard to do.' Harry mentally nods.

'Yeah, it's REALLY devious.' Concentrating, Harry opens the mental connection with Naruto. After explaining, Naruto goes silent before cursing. 'Um, Problem?' Naruto's frustration mounts.

'As a matter of fact, yes. Think about it for a second Nii-san.' He does so before cursing as well. Now greatly confused, Kyubi gives voice to a question.

'Um, what's the problem? Even though the test is worthy of a fox, it shouldn't cause that much trouble… Right?' Naruto gives her a mental head shake.

'Actually it does. You see Kyubi-chan, even though Sakura-chan is our friend, she's STILL one of Sasuke's fan girls. So therefore she'll probably be split between helping us and focusing on Sasuke. Sasuke on the other hand…' Harry then finishes his sentence.

'…is an ass. He'll think that we're trying to sabotage him and, assuming he works with us, will probably try and grab a bell from us in case we're wrong.' Harry shakes his head. 'Will someone please explain how Mikoto-sensei was his mother?' Naruto gives him a mental shrug.

'Don't know. I've often found myself asking the same thing. Anyways… how are we going to do this?' Thinking it over, Harry begins to smirk.

'I got an idea. It'll have to be one part planning and two parts improvisation, but it should work. However, I'll need you to do something…' Soon after Naruto gets a grin on his face, but not one of his normal ones. It's his "Fox in the hen house" one to be exact.

00000000000000000 A few minutes later 000000000

Kakashi is leaning up against a tree slightly bored while waiting for something to happen. His prayers are answered when Naruto rushes out from behind some trees. "Let's do this! You and me! Right now!" Kakashi tilts his head to the side a little.

"You know that you're a little odd, right?" Naruto points at him.

"The only odd thing is your hair! I mean what did you do? Use hairspray with a Fuuton jutsu heading your way?" Kakashi actually finds himself becoming slightly annoyed with his taunts.

"Lesson one: Taijutsu." Naruto stops his charge as Kakashi reaches into his pouch.

'Hand to Hand? Then why's he going for a weapon?' However seeing that Kakashi pulling out Icha Icha Paradise book he begins to twitch. "Why are you reading in a fight?" Kakashi spares him a glance.

"Why else? To find out what happens." Then he shrugs. "Besides, it isn't like I need both hands." Getting pissed at how he's being dismissed, Naruto charges. Each of his hits are dodged before Kakashi vanishes. Suddenly he appears crouching behind Naruto with his hands in the Tora seal. Seeing this, Sakura's eyes widen before sending a warning.

"Naruto! Behind you!" Unfortunitly her warning comes to late as Kakashi states a few seconds later.

"Too late! Konohagakure's most Ancient Supreme Taijutsu technique: Thousand years of pain!" And with that, shoves his fingers where the sun don't shine, sending Naruto screeching through the air into the river. 'OooH! Nice distance.' Sakura, however, isn't as impressed.

'Ok… What. The. Hell. Was. That? It's official, our sensei is a pervert.' It's at that moment that Naruto slowly crawls from the water.

"Damn (Gasp) Bastard, how dare you do that!" Kakashi just gives him a bored look before turning back to his book.

"It's your fault, after all you shouldn't let anyone behind you." At that moment Kakashi notices the Kage bushin as they jump to swarm him. He's about to escape when one grabs him from behind.

"What was that Sensei? That we shouldn't let anyone get behind us?" Kakashi's eyes widen before he's buried under a mountain of Bushin. After a bit some of them pull back to reveal a beat-up Naruto clone which then poofs into smoke. They then begin accusing each other of being Kakashi and get into a huge fight until they just dispel.

"Damn it! None of them were Kakashi-sensei." Noticing a bell, Naruto walks over and grabs it… only to be yanked upwards by a snare. Shaking his head, Kakashi appears.

"(Sigh) Naruto, you should look underneath the underneath. Obviously it was a trap." He becomes slightly unnerved by Naruto's chuckles. Slightly suspicious he gives Naruto a few smacks to see if it's a Kage Bushin. When it doesn't dispel, his eye narrows slighty. "What are you laughing about?" Naruto simply grins before taunting him.

"You know, you REALLYshould listen to your own advice. After all… Kage Bushin isn't my only clone technique." And before Kakashi's shocked face he disappears in a puff of smoke only to reveal a piece of paper in the shape of a man with the Kanji for Naruto on it slowly floating down.

'What the… When did he switch-' He doesn't get to finish when a barrage of Shuriken and Kunai hit him, only for him to disappear in a puff of smoke revealing a log… Which is obliterated a moment later as a shimering ball hits causing it to explode in a cloud of splinters. Meanwhile some distance away in a tree, Kakashi's visible eyebrow nearly merges with his hair as he notices the damage. He shudders slightly as he imagines what that would have done to a human body. 'Now THAT I never expected, especially from the so-called dead last… Oh well, time to test the Uchiha.' Sasuke's eyes also widen.

'Where did that come from?! And how did the dobe learn how to make solid Bushin?!' Suddenly, he begins to curse as he realizes he's given his position away and takes off. (AN: The rest follows cannon except that Sakura's genjutsu also includes Naruto. We now pick up two minutes after he defeated Sasuke.)

Whistling innocently Kakashi comes across Harry leaning against a tree, with his eyes closed. "Well, well. I guess I get to… 'Teach' you next, eh?" Harry chuckles before shaking his head.

"Well, I don't know what you have to teach me since you gave a lesson in Taijutsu to Naruto, Genjutsu to Sakura, and Ninjutsu to Sasuke… So what's left? Kenjutsu? Kinjutsu? Or perhaps Fuinjutsu? So what'll it be?" Kakashi gives him an eye smile.

"Oh! A smart-ass I see. This'll be fun. But before we begin, answer me something if you would." Harry motions him to go on. "That attack that hit my Kawarimi, was it you?" Harry shakes his head in the negative.

"Nope. That was Nii-san's Mahou Dangan no Jutsu." Seeing a questioning look, he shrugs. "Eh, we discovered that by adding chakra to our magic we can enhance it. Oh, and by the way?" Seeing he's got his attention he allows a cruel smirk to form. "Watch out." Kakashi's eye widen as he dodges a slash from a over sized weapon.

'Shit! When did…?' His shock is compounded when he notice it was a doll wielding a blade, more so when the "Blade" begins to chew into the tree it hit causing wood chips to fly everywhere. 'What the! I didn't know we had puppeteers in Konoha!' The doll then shoots Harry a dirty look.

"Master, why did you warn him? I nearly had him! It would have been so bloody to." Harry shakes his head amused at the disappointed tone at the end. (For her weapon, imagine a chainsword from Warhammer 40K)

"Simple. We don't want him dead… Yet." His smirk then grows cold. "Besides, your not the only one wanting some of his blood." His eye widening, Kakashi barly dodges the flaming sword that would otherwise had separated his head from his shoulders.

'Who was that…?' His thoughts don't get the chance to finish as his danger sense kicks in allowing his body to automatically dodge the strike from an axe coming from above that might have cleaved him in half followed a few seconds later by a glowing green whip that embeds itself in a tree. Kakashi begins to sweat seeing the tree actually wither and die before his eyes while the area around the weapon turns to dust. 'That… would have hurt. A lot.' As expected the owner of the weapon is quite annoyed.

"Damn! I missed!" Turning towards the voice, Kakashi's shocked to see the woman from the other day except in black ANBU armor. Seeing that Kakashi's watching her she manically grins (Showing her large canines/fangs). "Oh well. Guess I'll just have to settle for taking some of his limbs… hopefully one in particular." Kakashi cringes at that as a thought occurs to him.

'Oh gods… Just what we need, another Anko. Guess I should put a stop to this.' Clearing his throat, he manges to get the attention of the others. "Look, I know your angry but if you don't leave I'll fail your little boyfriend for having outside help." Kakshi's stern look melts into one of confusion as they just laugh.

"You hear that girls? Your 'Outside help'." Harry states sarcastically. "Perhaps you should have your eyes checked?" Seeing his sensei's raised eyebrow, Harry simply points. Looking where his student's pointing it takes a few seconds to realize what he's seeing.

'She has a… tail? Wait a moment…' Seeing the realization Sal sighs dramatically.

"The dawn breaks. Perhaps I should introduce myself?" Hearing Harry's chuckles, she takes a dramatic bow. "My name is Uzumaki-Potter Sal, better known as the snake on Harry's shoulder most of the time."

'Oh boy… Hey wait a second!' Faced with an unusual situation, Kakashi does what most would. Point at them in surprise. "You were kissing a snake! And people call me perverted. Do you have any idea how wrong that is?" Harry gives him a Gaelic shrug.

"Really? Doesn't seem that way to me considering how intelligent they are as well as the fact that they can take on human form." Kakashi's reply, however, causes him to growl.

"Doesn't change the fact that their animals." Harry's snarl becomes, if anything, even more pronounced.

"Oh I get it! You're speciest!" Kakashi begins to wave his hands in front of his face as if to ward him off.

"Whoa! Whoa! I'm not… what ever that is!" He's unable to finish as Harry chooses to attack. Rapidly moving out of the way, Kakashi notices that Harry's knifes have changed. They now seem to absorb light and have ominous red glowing symbols. Continuing to dodge Kakashi also realizes that the temperature has also dropped and that he can now see his breath. 'What? How did the temperature change so quickly? Is it the knifes?' His thoughts are cut off as he feels several strikes, and looking down notices that while he'd been distracted by his thoughts Harry had manged to get several hits in.

"Oooh! Too bad sensei! Have fun! After all… People marked by Phobos and Deimos can't escape the darkness within easily…" Looking up Kakashi spies Harry slowly disappearing as a heavy mist rolls in leaving his mocking laughter behind.

"Hrmp! Nice try but a genjutsu won't work on me. Kai!" Noticing that nothing Happened, He's about to try again only to hear the sound of dragging behind him. Turning around, Kakashi sees a shape slowly dragging itself through the mist while other shapes begin to appear. He pushes up his Hitai-ate revealing the Sharingan in preparation for a fight as the shapes slowly become clearer…

0000000000 Real world 000000000000

Smirking, Harry turns to the others. "Well, that's that! That should buy us some time to convince Sasuke and Sakura and come up with a plan." Kuromi tugs on Harry's cloak to get his attention. "Yes?" Kuromi cocks her head to the side.

"Master, why don't you take the bells now? After all, you've disabled him." Sal and the others nod their agreement.

"Yeah, I'm wondering that too." Harry chuckles at them for a bit before answering them.

"The whole point of this exercise was to test our abilities against Kakashi so that we have some idea of what he's capable of… Besides, there's a very good reason I named my knifes after the gods of fear and terror, as our sensei is about to find out. Anyways, we should go before he comes to." And with that they leave, only to miss Kakashi's eyes widening and breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Obito… Rin… no…"

000000000000 Twenty minutes later 00000000000

Finally breaking free of the illusion, Kakashi goes on the prowl for his students. After a bit he comes across Naruto about to take a bite out of one of the bentos. 'Good, I can finally get some of my frustration out.' Using Shunshin he appears behind Naruto. "And what do you think you're doing?" Whipping around, Naruto raises his hands in a placating gesture.

"It's not what it looks like I swear! I was… I was guarding it!" His sensei just gives him an eye smile.

"Nice try." And with that grabs him. Naruto's face suddenly shifts from panicked to triumphant is a moment before saying one, simple word.

"Boom." And with that, both 'Naruto' And the bento (really a clone in a disguise) explode sending Kakashi tumbling. Groaning, he stumbles to his feet.

'Note to self: Don't underestimate the Uzumaki's.' Hearing some voices (despite the ringing in his ears) he raises his head to see his students come out from behind some bushes. Naruto crosses his arms and gives Sasuke a look.

"Well? I told you he would fall for it." Sasuke mearly grumbles before continuing.

"I give it to you later. Anyways, you better hope you and your brothers plan works." Harry snorts in derision.

"Show them our ultimate weapon Nii-san." Naruto smiles before reaching into his coat and pulling out… a paper doll and some gray hairs wrapped around as well as "Hatake Kakashi" written on it. Sakura just shakes her head before sighing.

"And how, exactly, is that an ultimate weapon?" Naruto gives her a 'Tut, tut.' before explaining (while still keeping an eye on a slowly recovering Kakashi).

"Simple really. Using these I can create a Shikigami copy of sensei that can counter anything he does, AND is under our control to boot." Seeing Kakashi about to strike he smirks. "Nii-san? If you would be so kind?" Smirking Harry nods before him and his group (Hedwig, Sal, Row, and Kuromi) attacks Kakashi while Naruto begins to chant. After a few moments the paper doll and hair glow before a massive explosion of smoke fills the clearing. "(Cough, cough!) See told you it was perfect!" Sakura sweat drops as does everyone else but Naruto.

"Naruto… How is that perfect?" Sakura states while pointing at a giant SD version of Kakashi. It slowly looks one way, then the other before finally reaching into a leg holster and pulling out a giant version of Icha Icha. "Oh… now I see. It's so similar it's uncanny." Kakashi goes slightly red.

'Ok, it's official. I hate these guys. Hmm, I wonder if the Hokage would be angry if there should happen to be an accident.' He shakes himself of those thoughts as he notices that both Harry and Naruto are chanting together and making motions with their hands. 'What are they…? First I've got to get rid of that… thing.' He rapidly makes a few handsigns before calling out the name of the jutsu and breathing a dragon made of fire towards SD Kakashi. "Katon: Karyu Endan!" However, SD Kakashi makes a few handsigns of his own before a dragon made of water shoots from the nearby river and counteracts it. "… Maybe it won't be so easy." As he continues he's about to do another he finds himself being interrupted by an attack from Sasuke.

"Katon: Gokakyu no justsu!" At this point the familars and Kuromi also join in to keep him from Harry and Naruto as well as Sakura (who has her hands on their shoulders) as the two wizards finish the chant.

"Vicis torqueo : repo (Time distortion: crawl)!" Before Sakura's amazed eyes, everything around her seems to slow to a bare crawl. Seeing several kunai hurtling at their sensei at a snails pace she gasps.

"I… I don't believe it! You guys actually did it!" Her amazed look fades into a worried one seeing Harry and Naruto almost buckling under an invisible strain. "Are you guys ok?" Harry gives a slight grunt as he looks at her.

"Ye… Yeah we are… Please… just hurry…" Naruto takes it from there.

"Sak… Sakura-chan… we can't… hold this very… long…" Naruto gives a gasp he begins to tremble. "Go… Now!" Not saying anything, Sakura begins to run towards a fading Kakashi. Looking closer, she can see that he's actually performing Kawarimi. She quickly grabs the bells though not before placing something on his back.

'Take that sensei!' Once she's far enough away, she looks back. "Naruto! Harry! I got them!" Naruto gives her a shaky thumbs up before both him and Harry collapse, unconscious. "NARUTO! HARRY!" She rushes towards them not noticing that times returned back to it's normal flow… or the explosion in a nearby tree. Looking them over, she notices a slight amount of blood leaking from their noses. She lifts their eyelids only to gasp as the whites of their eyes are now completely red. 'What the…? It looks like the blood vessles in their eyes popped… How much stress were they under?' Her thoughts are interrupted by a cough behind her.

"Well? Give me my bell. Now" Turning around she's greeted by the sight of Sasuke glaring at her while holding out his hand. Chewing her lip, Sakura looks down at Naruto before coming to a descion. She slowly lowers her head.

"No." Sasuke looks shocked for a moment before he starts to growl.

"What did you just say to me?" Sakura looks up, her eyes hard with determination.

"I said no." Ignoring Sasuke's continued growls, she looks at Naruto and Harry before sighing. "I'll wait till they wake up. Besides…" She looks up with a sad look. "If nothing else… I guess I should maybe be the one to go back since I did the least." Sasuke's about to say something before he's interrupted by a proud voice.

"And that young lady… is the correct answer." Swiftly turning, they see a slightly smoking Kakashi. He reaches down and ruffles her hair a little. "Honestly, I expected you to give in and give him a bell… I must say I'm impressed that you have some morals." Sakura just gives him a small smile.

"Why shouldn't I? After all, Naruto and Harry have been friends of mine for several years now… Even if they can be annoying at times. But sensei, are they going to be all right?" Kakashi isn't the one that answers however as a slightly roughed up Row decides to make an appearance.

"You shouldn't worry yourself, Sakura." Row smiles as she gets down and lays Harry's head in her lap. "Their just exhausted, in fact I'm actually surprised they managed it." Kakashi merely raises an eyebrow in question.

"How so? Frankly, I have no idea what they did…" Sakura mumbles something causing Kakashi to ask her to repeat it.

"I said they slowed down time somehow. Is that why they're like this?" Row nods, neither of them noticing Kakashi's shocked look.

"Yes, well partially anyways. Part of the reason was them bringing you along when they cast the spell." Seeing the stricken look, Row swiftly moves to take away any feelings of guilt. "It's not your fault Sakura. You see, in order to cast this spell you need a large amount of magic and concentration. In fact the only reason they managed it was the fact that they both cast it." Sakura becomes slightly confused.

"But then… Why did they bring me along? Not that I minded doing something of course." Row gives her a smile.

"Of course." Looking down, she gains a gentle look. "The reason that you were brought along is simple. Because of how much concentration is needed, they needed a third person to do what you did since they needed to stand still. Of course, they had to expend more magic but in the end it was still needed. Anyways, a bit of rest and they should be right as rain… Well, besides a stress headache the size of the Hokage monument." She begins to giggle as Harry mumbles something about ramen and kicking someone's ass. Shaking his head in exasperation, Kakashi sighs before pulling out his book.

"Guess we just wait." After a few moments he sighs again before glaring at both Sal and Hedwig who's looking over his shoulder. "Do you two mind?" Sal shakes her head.

"Naw, we don't mind… Oooo! I didn't know THAT was possible…"

0000000 Two hours later 00000000

Harry slowly wakes up feeling as if he got into Tsume's special stash (don't ask as it involves a drunk Tsume and Anko). "(Groan) Please don't tell me that Anko shoved some of that damn oven cleaner her and Tsume-kaachan refer to as a drink down my throat. Again." He hears several giggles erupt nearby and opens his eyes to see Row looking down at him before she gives him a kiss.

"Fortunitly Harry, not this time." Naruto groans himself as he comes around before adding his two cents worth.

"Yeah, after all we didn't wake up in an alley naked with a Barbie doll as well as the taste of lima beans in our mouth." He notices Sasuke giving him a odd look. "What?" Kakashi just shakes his head before getting their attention.

"Okay you four-" He's interrupted by a cough. "Ok, you eight. All I got to say is…" Here he pauses for dramatic purposes. "You pass." A few minutes pass as they realize what he said. Sakura manages to stutter out an answer.

"Wha... What? But how? We haven't figured out who gets the bells yet..." Her confusion deepens as Kakashi chuckles at her.

"Because of you guys working together you managed to defeat an elite jounin. Because of that you are now officially Team Seven." Kakashi then gives them a small glare. "However, I'll give you a piece of wisdom... The same wisdom that a friend gave to me: Those who disobey the rules are trash, but those who don't care about their comrades... are worse then trash. Team Seven, tomorrow we begin our duties."

"YATTA! WE DID IT! WE DID IT! HAHAHA!" Naruto and Sakura chant while doing a happy dance. Harry's currently jumping up and down as are his familiars… while Kakashi's attention is fully on the three females. Sasuke just hn's with a smirk. Kakashi finally looks away before sadly smiling as his eye falls on the memorial stone.

'Well sensei, Obito, Rin-chan… seems that my life may just have become a WHOLE lot more interesting…'

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Steve: And there we go! Now it will be a bit of time before we get to the wave arc as I'll be doing some fillers as I want to get some ideas out of my head, hope you guys don't mind.

Hinata: Will me and Naruto-kun get together soon?

Steve: Maayybe. You'll just have to see.

Yui: That was mean.

Steve: (Shrugs) Meh. Anyways, see you later! Oh! And if your wondering what Harry and Naruto did to the chalk brush a chapter ago... Wonder no more.

Omake: Never underestimate an Uzumaki-Potter's revenge.

Kakashi's walking (slowly) towards the Hokage tower to give his report while reading his book. Despite this, he notices the shocked looks shot his way. 'Huh? Wonder what's with them? Oh, well.' Still slightly suspicious, he walks through the door by the two ANBU (Cat and Lizard). "Hello you two." They merely nod in acknowledgement. A few moments pass while his footsteps fade. The two ANBU begin to shudder and shake. Lizard manages to get something out.

"Wa...Was that (snort) Ka-Kakashi...?" Cat just tells him off.

"Do-Don't talk to me or... (Pffft) look at me... Please." And soon after both collapse in laughter. Meanwhile, Kakashi finally manages to reach the meeting room still slightly confused with the strange looks. Looking up from where he's reading some paperwork. Sarutobi's pipe nearly falls from his mouth before he recovers.

"Er, hello Kakashi... Your right on time, well for you anyways." Ignoring the snickers he continues. "You missed it but both Team Eight and Team Ten passed their tests. Now how did Team Seven do?" As Kakashi gives his report he steadily becomes more suspicious at how red the various jounin are becoming before he finally snaps.

"Okay! What is the matter with you guys!?" At that everyone but the Hokage collapses in laughter. Getting his mirth under control Sarutobi just asks a question.

"Tell me something Kakashi, did Harry and Naruto pull any pranks on you?" Thinking it over, Kakashi nods before his eye narrows.

"Yes, in fact yesterday they set up a trap with a chalkboard eraser... Come to think of it I still don't understand the shiver that went down my back... Oh no. They did something to me, didn't they." Unable to control it, the Hokage begins chuckling again only to start coughing from the smoke he was just breathing in. Using a Kage bushin, the Hokage has it transform into a mirror. Gaping at his reflection, he barely hears the Hokage comment about time-delayed spells though his anger. 'They. Are. so. DEAD!' Stomping away with his large, pink floppy ears swaying and his fluffy tail quivering, his promises of pain to the two Uzumaki-Potters only increases as Anko's comment sends the whole room into histrics again.

"Here comes Kakashi Cottontail, Hopping down the bunny trail..."

Spell List:

Vicis torqueo : repo (Time distortion: crawl): A powerful temporal spell, Harry and Naruto can only use it if both perform it at the same time (Think the "Twin" action from FF 4). The spells designed to slow time around the user allowing them move at what appears to be super speed. There are drawbacks though, the user can become dangerously exhausted from the shear amount of energy used as well as the massive amount of stress they're put under. Another drawback is that due to them being outside the flow of time they're unable to effect the world except in small ways such as stealing something or a delayed action.

Mahou Dangan no Jutsu (Magical Bullet technique: A wandless version of the Reducto spell, it uses a shell of chakra which compresses it allowing it to do much more damage then normal. In fact, the shell allows it to dig into the target before disapating causing the same amouunt of damage as a .45 caliber.
