Yay, I think this is my longest chapter so far! This took a lot longer too, but there were too much stuff going on with my life at that time. I couldn't stop playing 'My sims kingdom', I have too many library books, Graduation's coming up, etc =.= Oh, and I got to be a waitress for my school and it was fun :D
"Ugh. He's late!" Naruto said impatiently. Miyako, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were the only ones left in the classroom. "Everyone else is probably out there doing some awesome mission. So why are we the only ones left?" Naruto pouted.
"Naruto-kun. They wouldn't be doing some extreme mission. They are probably training or something." Miyako told him. "But he's right. Even Iruka-sensei left. There's late, and there's…" Miyako couldn't continue her thoughts. She sighed. "I can't even describe it!"
Miyako had her head resting in one hand while she sat at a desk. Sasuke sat at another desk and Sakura leaned against another. Naruto poked his head out of the class looking down the halls.
"Naruto! Just sit down!" Sakura yelled at him.
"I don't want to! Why is our sensei the only one who's late? I'm ready to go. Believe it!" Naruto argued back.
"Yeah, we know okay?" They were all tired of waiting. Miyako looked out the window but turned her attention toward the door when she heard a bumping sound.
"Hey what are you doing?" Sakura asked. They were all looking at Naruto by now. He was standing on top of a chair and he was putting a chalkboard eraser at the top of the doorframe.
"Are you really that bored?" Miyako asked him as a joke. Sakura walked over to him.
"That's what he gets for being late." Naruto said hoping off his chair. "Surprise!" Miyako looked at the bottom of it.
"Of course he had to pick the dustiest one." She sighed again. "Our sensei is going to kill us!"
"You're going to get in trouble." Sakura began. "You shouldn't do this."
"Our teacher's a jonin. An elite ninja. Do you actually think he'll fall for something like this?" Sasuke said not considering the consequences apparently. While Sakura and Naruto continued on about this, a hand reached over and tapped the door, getting everyone's attention.
The eraser fell onto a man with spiky silver hair and wore a mask. Everything was silent until Naruto began laughing and pointing a finger.
"Ahahaha! I got him! He so fell for it!" He said while laughing. Miyako and Sasuke seemed to be thinking alike. They looked at each other.
"Is he really a jonin?" Miyako mouthed over to Sasuke. He shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm sorry." Sakura pleaded. "I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen! I would never do anything like that." The jonin bent down and picked up the eraser and looked at them.
"Hmm… how should I say this?" He said holding his chin and looking up. "My first thoughts about this group is… you're a bunch of idiots."
"Great. Our teacher thinks we're idiots. Thanks Naruto-kun!" Miyako said sarcastically in her head.
(Miyako's POV)
The four of us sat on some steps at a balcony area. Our teacher leaned against the railing while he talked them.
"Alright, why don't you introduce yourselves?" He said not even sounding like a question. "One at a time."
"Introduce ourselves?" Sakura asked.
I looked over at her. "He means tell him our names." I told her.
He nodded his head. "That's right. Your name, things you like, things you don't like, your dreams, hobbies, stuff like that."
"Why don't you go first. Show us how to do it." Naruto asked him.
He pointed at himself. "Me? I'm Kakashi Hatake." He began. "Things I like and things I hate… I don't want to tell you that. Dreams for the future… I haven't really thought about that. As for my hobbies… I have lots of hobbies."
"Way to show us how to do it sensei." I said sarcastically in my head.
"That was useless. All he really said was his name." Sakura said. I nodded in agreement.
"Alright, now your turn. We'll go right to left." He said.
"Guess I'm going second." I sat between Naruto and Sasuke with Sakura on my far right.
"Believe it. I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I like ramen, but I like the ichiraku ramen that Iruka-sensei buys me. My hobbies are eating different ramen and comparing them, and my future dream is to be the greatest Hokage! That way everyone in the village will treat me with respect, treat me like I'm somebody important." She could see Kakashi's eyes widen slightly then go back to normal.
"Interesting, next."
"My turn." I thought. "My name is Miyako Yukihana. I like ramen and onigiri, and spending time with friends, and I don't like fighting. My dream for the future is…" I paused for a moment. "To protect the people who are close to me. Even if I lose my life doing so. Oh, And my hobbies are reading, training, and drawing when I have the time."
Kakashi nodded his head. "Next."
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things and don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan and destroy a certain someone." It got really quiet. Naruto paled. Miyako smiled at Naruto's expression.
"And you're the last on I guess." Kakashi asked Sakura even thought he knew the answer.
"I'm Sakura Haruno. What I like is… uh… I mean the person I like is…" She looked over at Sasuke. "My hobby is… um… My dream for the future is…" By this time she kept looking at Sasuke and giggling insanely. Miyako and Naruto looked at each other.
"And what do you hate?" Kakashi asked.
Sakura stopped giggling. "NARUTO!" Naruto looked hurt. I laughed a little
"It's ok." I said patting his back.
"That's good. You are all unique and have your own ideas. We will have our first mission tomorrow."
"Yeah! What kind of mission will it be?" Naruto asked eagerly.
"It will be a task that we will all do together. A survival exercise." Kakashi explained.
"Sometimes being with Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun can be a survival exercise." I sighed mentally in my head. "Didn't we do stuff like this in the academy?"
"I thought we would have a real mission. Not another practice routine." Sakura complained.
"This won't be the same as before." Kakashi said.
"Then what kind of training is it then?" Naruto asked. Kakashi began laughing. I frowned.
"Why is he laughing? What's so funny?" My frown deepend. "We asked you something. Why are you laughing then?" He continued laughing.
"Because if I tell you, you won't like it." He said. Kakashi stopped laughing. "Out of the 27 graduates who just came here, only nine of you will actually make it." My eyes widened.
"So what would happen if we failed?" I asked not sure if I wanted the answer.
"The other 18 will be sent back to the academy. Your chance of failing is about 66%." That caused an uproar with Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi. "I told you that you wouldn't like the answer."
"That's not fair!" Naruto yelled. "We worked hard to get here. So then what was the point of this graduation test anyway?"
"Oh that? It was to see who could POSSIBLY become genin." He answered. "Or not."
"Not fair!" I yelled in my head.
"I choose to pass or fail you. Be at the training spot at 5:00 am. Bring your ninja gear." Kakashi said. Naruto was trembling with anger. Everyone had different thoughts going through their minds. "That's it. You can go now. Oh, and don't eat breakfast tomorrow."
"Why shouldn't we eat breakfast?" I asked.
"You'll puke." He answered without a care. Our eyes widened.
"It'll be THAT intense?" I stared at the ground. "He's probably going to fail us, if we don't die of exsaustion first." I sighed as we left for home.
The next morning, everyone had made their way to the training grounds. Sakura, Miyako and Naruto were still half asleep as where Sasuke looked like he wasn't tired at all. "How are you not tired?" Miyako whined to Sasuke as the others laughed.
It was about 10:00 and Kakashi still hadn't shown up. Everyone sat around waiting for him to show, which felt like forever. Naruto, Miyako and Sakura all sat on the ground with their heads resting on top of their knees, while Sasuke stood with his arms crossed. "What is taking him so long?" Miyako yelled in her head. "And I'm so hungry!" She closed her eyes and sighed but opened them when she heard a familiar voice.
"Good morning everyone." The jonin said with his hand in the air.
"YOU'RE LATE!" The genin- except Sasuke- yelled.
"Well I saw a black cat, so I had to take the long way." He said pointing over his shoulder.
"That's his excuse? A black cat?" Miyako thought as the four of them where obviously fed up with his tardiness.
"Well." Kakashi coughed. "Let's get started, shall we?" He turned towards three wooden posts. They looked to see a clock- no, an alarm clock- sitting on one of the posts. Kakashi rested his hand on the clock. "This will be set for noon." He said pushing the button to start the clock. The jonin reached into his pouch and pulled out three bells. "Your task is simple. Get a bell from me. That's it."
"Well I understand why Naruto would want a better mission." Miyako stared at the bells. Kakashi clanked the bells together. "If you fail at getting a bell, you'll miss lunch. You'll be tied to those posts and watch while I eat my lunch in front of you." He said pointing towards the wooden posts.
"That is so cruel!" She slightly shook her head. Everyone stared at the silver haired man while most of them held their growling stomachs.
"Wait! Why are there three bells if there are four of us?" Sakura asked pointing at the bells in his hand.
"Oh. That's just so one of you will be tied to post and be disqualified for failing the test." I could tell he was smiling under that mask. "He or she will go back to the academy. But, all of you could fail too. You can use anything you want. Even shuriken. If you are not prepared to kill me, you will not get a bell, which means you fail." He explained.
"But what happens if one of us actually does kill you?" Miyako asked.
"Those are dangerous weapons sensei!" Sakura told him.
Naruto laughed. "Yeah, you couldn't even dodge that eraser from earlier!"
"Class clowns are usually the weakest. They have the lowest scores. Losers." Kakashi told him, unfased by his comment. Naruto glared at him. "You can go when I say start."
Naruto reached for a kunai and lunged at him. Miyako's eyes widened. "Kakashi-sensei didn't say start yet. What is he thinking?" She wanted to stop him but she didn't have to. Kakashi had already grabbed his wrist. Everyone just gasped and stared at the scene. Before he knew it, Kakashi had gotten behind Naruto and was holding the kunai to the back of his head.
"No need to hurry. I didn't even get to say start." Kakashi said to the blonde. Sasuke, Miyako and Sakura all backed up to give him some room. He finally let go allowing Naruto to walk forward. "You did come at me with the full intent of killing me so…" Miyako bit her lip as she listened. "I think I'm actually starting to like you guys."
"Wait. What's that supposed to mean?" She didn't have time to think when Kakashi interrupted her thoughts.
"Get ready." The genin got ready to attack, run, or anything else that they could do. "Start!"
Miyako sat on one of the highest branches in the tree. She had lost sight of her teammates, so when she wasn't keeping an eye on Kakashi, she was looking for any sign of them. She silently gasped at what she saw. "Naruto-kun! What are you thinking? Hide!" She thought looking down at him. Naruto had gone back to his previous place and it looked like he was going to take Kakashi head on. "Wait. This could work for me." The black haired girl thought as she ran the plan through her head. She smiled when she had figured it out. "This could work. Naruto-kun can distract him while I can get a bell. Maybe the others are planning something like this too." She wondered. "But, if Sasuke-kun and Sakura do my plan too, Naruto-kun won't be able to get a bell." She closed her eyes at the thought. She could see the look on his face when he had failed the first time. "And he worked so hard too." Miyako opened her eyes and began to work her way down the tree, moving as quiet as possible so he wouldn't see her. On her way down she thought she saw someone in the trees. "It's not a vibrant colour, so it's probably Sasuke-kun." Knowing that, Sakura probably wasn't far behind. "I wonder if he saw me." The girl thought as she went back to her plan. For a minute, she thought he was looking at her before turning away.
"Ok! Lets fight here and now!" Naruto yelled out to their sensei.
"So. Naruto-kun is starting. I'll have to work fast, since the last time he openly attacked him like that, Kakashi-sensei had him done for in less than a minute!" Miyako thought as she picked up some speed, while making sure not to make her location obvious.
"Compared to the others. You're kinda weird." Kakashi said to Naruto.
"Really? Because the only weird thing here is your hairstyle!" Naruto said before charging towards him. Kakashi began to reach for something in his ninja pouch.
"Gah! I need to hurry!" Miyako bit her lip as she hurried to the ground. She landed and got ready to go for it. Naruto jumped back, unsure of what his motive is.
"Shinobi battle techniques. Lesson one. Taijutsu." The jonin began. Miyako could see him pulling something out of the pouch.
"Why is he getting a weapon if it's taijutsu? Taijutsu is supposed to be physical attacks." Her eyes narrowed, but widened when she saw what he had pulled out. "A book?" She said that could barely be a whisper. Miyako read the cover. "Make out paradise? What kind of book is that?" She wondered.
"Go ahead. Take your shot." Kakashi said as he began to read the book.
"Then why are you reading?" Naruto demanded.
"Why? I want to know how it will end of course." He said not lifting his gaze from the pages. "With your pathetic attacks, it doesn't really matter now does it?"
"This is it! Now's my chance!" Miyako got ready. She ran out of the bush at full speed, kunai ready, to grab her bell. Kakashi countered with another kunai, blocking her attack. With one hand holding the book, and the other grasping a kunai, he couldn't protect the bells. Miyako went to grab the bell, but was thrown back into the trees. She rolled a little before stopping in front if a tree.
"Owww…" She groaned. Her body hurt from being thrown, but for now she'll just watch Naruto. Naruto threw a punch at their sensei, but he put up his hand to block while he was still reading. Naruto jumped in front of him and went to kick him in the head, but Kakashi ducked. Naruto threw one last punch but realized that Kakashi wasn't in front of him. He was crouched behind him.
"You shouldn't let your enemy get behind you all the time." He said.
Miyako's eyes widened. "That's the sign of the tiger! A fire style jutsu. There's no way Naruto-kun will survive that!." She said to herself. She could hear a familiar voice yell out to him.
"Get out of there Naruto!" It was Sakura. "He'll destroy you!" Miyako looked around to possibly see where she could be. She looked up to where Sasuke was, but he wasn't there.
"Too late…" Kakashi said as he went to attack Naruto. "Leaf village secret finger jutsu! A thousand years of death!" He shouted as he poked Naruto in his butt and sent him flying into the water.
"Naruto-kun!" Miyako shouted out to him. She sighed. "Well, at least it wasn't me."
"Now where was I?" He asked himself as he pulled out his book again. Miyako had to come up with a new plan.
"Maybe I can go find Sasuke-kun or Sakura." She mumbled to herself. Her muscles ached as she got up to go find one of them. She knew where Naruto was and figured he would put up a fit if he had to team up with someone. Then again, Sasuke wasn't much better ether. Her best bet so far would be Sakura.
"But I don't know what any of Sakura's abilities are. Maybe it would be better if I teamed up with Sasuke-kun." Miyako started walking but stopped when she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She looked over to see two shuriken fly out of the water and soar towards Kakashi. He put up two fingers and stopped them both without a scratch. Kakashi began to walk away while Naruto climbed out of the water.
"I guess I should get going." Miyako sighed as she started walking to where she last saw Sasuke.
Well, I think this is it for this chapter. It took a while, then I couldn't think of anything else to write ^^. It will continue with that so just keep waiting J
