Someday
Chapter Five, The Final Test
Gaara POV (aged 13)
AT THE NEW TRAINING GROUNDS...
The new training grounds was on the outskirts of the village.
There were rocks sticking up all over and some trees and bushes here and there.
"Ok, introductions. Like, name, age, like's, dislikes, dreams and goals." They guy said.
We were silent. He sighed.
"I'll go first. Name's Yakoto Ohtori, aged twenty-seven. I like female comany, like any straight man would. I dislike annoying people. Dreams... Ain't got none. Goals... None of your damn buisiness." Yakoto-sensei said. "Now you." He pointed at Sasuke.
Sasuke sighed.
"Name, Sasuke Uchiha. Age, thirteen. I like-" He stared at Sakura and smirked. My blood boiled. "I dislike-" He glared at me. "My dream is to be the captin of the police force. My goal is to become a jounin." Sasuke finished.
"Ok, you next kid." Yakoto-sensei said and pointed twords me.
"I'm Gaara no Sabuku. I'm thirteen. I love-" I looked over at Sakura and smiled. "I hate-" I glared over at Sasuke. "My dream is to be the Kazekage and my goal is to become the greatest ninja ever." I said proudly.
Sakura smiled at me.
"Ok now you girl." Yakoto-sensei said.
"My name is Sakura Haruno. I'm also thirteen. I like hurting people who anger me or I feel are being in anyway unmanerly. I dislike perverts aka most of the male race and... spiders. My dream is to become Lady Chyio of the Sand's apprentice. My goal is to fully master medical nin jutsu." Sakura said.
Yakoto-sensei took afew steps back from Sakura when he heard her say she liked hurting people.
"OK! So now that we're all introduced let's start the test of team work! I hope you know, if you fail, you'll have to go back to the academy." He said.
"WHAT!" Sasuke, Sakura and I shouted.
"This isn't fair!
"Yep, so pay attention. I will be giving you a special test." He then took out two dice.
"You must find these to chakra die. One each. They have a chakra signature so it should help you try to find them." He said.
"But, there are three of us." Sasuke said.
"Whatever, just find them." He said "So that is the test." Yakoto-sensei said.
"OH! And you only have three hours. If you run out of time, you are tied to that pole and go without lunch." Yakoto-sensei said and then vanished in a cloud of blue smoke.
Sasuke and I glared at each other.
"I'm going to find it first." We said in unisen.
Another glare and then we left to try and find the dice.
I hope you find a dice Sakura, then it'll be just me and you.
TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER...
Oh god! What am I going to do! What if I don't find a dice and get sent back to the academy! Then Sasuke will get Sakura and marry her one day and I'll never be Kazekage!
I kept seaching to grounds for the dice and I used my sand to try and see in places I couldn't get to. But to no avail..
I spotted Sasuke.
He looked like he was having no luck to.
Once again, we glared at eachother.
Sakura was first to find a dice.
We questioned her on how she got it but Yakoto said that if she told us, we'd all fail.
TIME'S UP!
I can't belive Sasuke found a dice and I didn't!
"This is disgraceful. This was a team building test. You ALL fail." Yakoto said.
"WHAT!" We yelled.
"But sensei? I don't understand? There were only two dice and three of us, how could it be a team test if-" Yakoto-sensei cut Sakura off.
"Your team are the most improtant thing to you. Without them on a mission or in battle, you are dead. On this plaque, there are the names of someof the greatest ninja's in histroy, all were assigned to team aswell-" I cut him off.
"But Yakoto-sensei! I want to be just like the kind of ninja on that plaque!" I shouted.
"The kind of ninja on this plaque are the one's who died when they were on mission. This plaque also holds the name of my two best friends. On duty as a ninja, you protect your team. I'll be back later. For your other test." Yakoto said and once again vanished.
I was tied to the pole and I was starving.
"Here." Sasuke grumbled and held up some food to me. "If we're gonna pass the next test, everyone needs to have full energy." Sasuke said.
"Yeah." Sakura said.
They each shared their lunch with me.
"Thanks guys." I said.
"Whatever.." Sasuke muttered.
"You're welcome Gaara-kun!" Sasuke said.
"YOOOOOOOUUUU-" Yakoto-sensei yelled at he appeared infront of us.
Oh Kami! I wasn't supposed to eat as punishment! He's gonna kill us!
"PASS! You've offically become Genin!" Sensei said. "The point of the test was so you'd help eachother and work together. I know belive you have what it takes to be Genin! Well done!" He said.
"We passed Sakura!" I yelled and hugged her.
But at the same time, Sasuke went to hug her. I shoved him away from Sakura with out Sakura seeing.
"HEY!" Sasuke shouted and shoved me and hugged Sakura to him.
Glaring at eachother once more, I could feel that a fight was coming on.
THIRD PERSON POV
Yakoto-sensei sighed.
And they were just starting to work together..
Yakoto watched as the Sasuke and Gaara fought over Sakura.
That girl... Seems that they both carry strong feelings for her. I hope that it dosen't tear this team apart. Like my old team...
"You two! Can you not fight for at least five seconds!" Sakura yelled and bonked Sasuke and Gaara on the head.
"Fiiiiine..." Sasuke and Gaara grumbled.
Yakoto smiled.
But it seems, that she can keep them under control. She's alot like Amaye.
"Alright! Dismissed! Later kids!" Yakoto shouted and proformed his vanishing act.
