All 3 kids panted on their knees, sweat dripping off their noses and grime covering almost everywhere. Blue/red tired bags hung underneath all their eyes while the blonde stood in victory over them all. Although it seemed it was over, the 3 Genin possessed determination in their eyes. The sun began to rise off in the distance. That would be it, once they saw the sun, the test would be failed.

"No…" The Uchiha whined in an exhausted manner and let himself fall to the ground. His eyes were struggling to stay open as he looked at the two other Genin who seemed were as tired as him. Rin frowned lightly and allowed her kunai drop to the ground. The smallest boy stared sourly at the Jounin in front of him. 'How could that test be fair?!' Kakashi thought as his hands suddenly stopped himself from falling face first into the ground. He struggled to breathe and wheezed with every intake. 'You expected Genin to beat you!?' Obito had to admit, he thought he could do it but in the end, they all seemed to get in each other's ways.

"Mm... Thought I saw more potential." The Yellow Flash stated softly to the 2. He turned around to begin his walk home but felt something tug on his leg. The Uchiha groveled in the dirt, yanking on his superior's leg.

"It wasn't a fair fight Sensei! You expect a Genin to win against an awed Jounin like yourself? That's just…That's just- it's not even possible!" The pleading eyes of the Uchiha never lost the gaze that stared down his elder. "If you would just give us another chance! I would get-"

"I would get?" He asked with a serious glare towards the boy laying at his feet and then turned his attention to the two other Genin's. "It seems like all you guys do is care about yourselves." They all stared confused and stayed silent. "A team is for teamwork! I didn't see one ounce of teamwork between you three. If anything, I saw all you working against each other and trying to fight out each other's weaknesses. I didn't matter; from the start you already knew you had a high percentage of losing. But if you worked together, you would have had a far greater chance of victory."

Kakashi averted his eyes elsewhere and felt guilt begin to rise in his stomach. Everything he was saying was true and he felt awful for it.

"What makes matters worse; you probably all thought about working together but then shrugged it off like it was useless." Minato sighed with a frown on his face. "But overall; excellent work. I do see much power in all of you and if you put that combined strength together and practiced, you'd be unstoppable. As for now, you can think about what I have said and talk amongst yourselves. I will be having a re-take as soon as you all see fit to take it again." He shielded his eyes from the glowering sunrise. "Get home and sleep and I'll see you all here by dusk."

Minutes passed and within that time, Rin had gotten herself up and collected her weapons. Obito had fallen asleep where he was lying and Kakashi seemed more tired as ever. He felt the edges of his mask grow irritating, the sweat making his face grow red and itchy.

Kakashi slipped his limp legs up to try and walk. His lazy posture hadn't help him picked up his lone weapons. He eyeballed the young Uchiha, his snores being heard by the keen ears of the Hatake. Even if they were little wheezes and whistles, it was pretty noticeable. He made his way towards the small ball that seemed to be a boy. "Oye, Obito. Get up." His voice was on the soft side as he lightly kicked him on the side. However, the Uchiha didn't react. 'Man. What a burden- Wait. What am I thinking? Sensei just had a whole conversation about this. Er." He stared at the Uchiha then knelt down beside him. Softly, he tapped his goggles. Nothing. 'Hmph.' Getting extremely agitated, he took his hand shaking the goggled faced boy violently. "Get up!" He ordered and got nothing from the stupid kid. 'Erg!' He Stood up as he kept his foot on Obito's shoulder and kicked him lightly. Unexpectedly, Obito woke with a flick of his eyes and pounced, grabbing Kakashi by the scruff of his neck. The two boys fell to the ground, Obito holding him down with much force.

Kakashi was impressed, the Uchiha had caught him off guard.

"AH! Kakashi?! - damn! I'm sorry!" He let go of the Hatake as he slowly knelt back to sit on his bum. I guess he was awake. With a small laugh, he got up and put his hand out to Kakashi. "…it was instinct!" The goggled faced boy rubbed the back of his neck with an apologetic face, his hand out for grabs.

Kakashi shrugged for an answer. He didn't really care. Besides, he was already analyzing the capabilities of Obito Uchiha. With a small lift of his hand, he was grabbed and hurled up, being set on the ground with a swift motion. "Erm. Thanks Obito." He said and pushed one hand in his pocket. A yawn escaped his mouth; his hand gently rubbed the tiredness out of his eyes. The young boys gaze went to Rin. He gave her a half smile in his eyes and also put his hand out towards her. She seemed to be watching the two boy's scene and was filled with tired laughter.

She was pulled up gently as she patted the dirt off her skirt. Her cheeks were flushed, assumed to be by the sun. (:P We all know why.) "T-Thanks Kakashi."

"Mm." Was the answer towards her as Kakashi turned; his shoulders slouched in an exhausted way.

"Guys, let's work hard tonight." Kakashi paused and looked back at whoever said it; it was Rin.

"Together?" The Uchiha asked. Rin smiled halfheartedly as she made her way towards the two.

"Together." Kakashi answered with a soft smile of his eyes, his pack slung over his shoulders

"We'll show Minato Sensei we can beat him." Rin said with determination, her fist in the air as she gave a cute smile to the two.

Kakashi gave her a small smile back with his eyes. However, Obito intervened and began to run out of training grounds, yelling about how he was going to defeat Minato and become Hokage- blah blah blah. But before he could reach the gates, he fell flat on his face by tripping on his own feet.

"LACK OF CHAKRA!" He screeched embarrassed.

They both chuckled softly: a rare scene for the Hatake and a sweet laughter from the happy Uchiha. Kakashi soon stopped as he felt like he was beginning to get to close to them, he couldn't afford to get caught up in that stuff again.

'I guess they're not that bad." Kakashi thought to himself. He hadn't felt this small content feeling for a while and he was happy to finally begin to recover from recent occurrences.

Obito looked at Kakashi with a curious face, he smiled to himself as he turned to the direction of the Uchiha borderline. Rin walked home with Obito while Kakashi set off the other way. He had to admit, he hadn't been this tired for a long time and since he was basically out of chakra and his stamina was down to 0, it was a challenge even to walk home.

Eventually when he creaked open the door to his room, he curled up into a small ball and fell to sleep within a minute. Even for the failure, a small smile tugged the side of his lips while a pillow was scrunched up to his face. Refreshing dreams washed over him, his small features contorting into a child-like manner.

Yo. I am probably not going to continue this story. Wasn't feeling it and wasn't getting enough buzz. Tootles. So I'm just gonna say this is a finished story.
