Naruto was tied to a wooden stump cuz he tried to eat lunch before the bell rang.
"About your training, there is no need for you guys to go back to the academy."
'Wait, what I thought we failed?'
"... You guys will be dropped out of the program entirely!"
'Oh makes sense... Wait WHHATTT?'
"DROPPED OUT OF THE PROGRAM!?"
"I know we didn't get the bells but why should we not become ninjas?" I said still confused.
" You guys don't deserve to be ninjas" Out of nowhere Sasuke took his kunai and attacked Kakashi-sensai. But Sasuke somehow ended up under Kakashi sensai with his own kunai on his neck.
"Don't step on my Sasuke-kun!"
"Are you guys under estimating ninjas? Why do you think you were divided into teams and are doing this training?
"Huh? What does that mean?" Sakura asked.
"You guys are not understanding the answer to this test. The answer that helps you pass the test."
'Is it really that simple?'
"Damnit! Whats the answer already?" Naruto shouted annoyed with all of the suspense.
"Teamwork" I said in a low voice.
"That's right. If the four of you would have worked together, you might have a chance to get the bells."
Sakura stood up "What do you mean by team work? There are only three bells! Even if we work together and get the bells, one of us would still fail. What team work? That just makes us fight each other."
"Of course! This test is purposely set up to make you fight amongst yourselves. The purpose is to see whether you can forget about your own interest and successfully work together under these designed circumstances. Yet you guys...
Sakura! Instead of Naruto who was right beside you, you were only thinking about Sasuke who was far away. Naruto! You were just running around all by yourself. Hikari! You only helped Sasuke but not Saukra who was lying right in front of you. Sasuke! You just assumed the others would get in your way and tried to do everything by yourself.
Individual play that distupts the team can put your comrades in danger and can even get you killed. For example Sakura! kill Naruto! Or Sasuke dies! Hikari! Kill Sakura if she can't do it!"
"WHAAT!?" Naruto shouted freaked out that Sakura would kill him.
"You see? If a hostage is taken, you will have tough choices and then die. You will be risking your lives in these duties. Look at this the numerous names carved on this stone." Kakashi sensai walked towards the KIA stone. "These are the ninjas whoa re recognised as heroes of the village."
"I've decided to get my name carved ont hat stone too! Hero! Hero! That's what I'll beocme!"
BONK!
"Not on my watch!" I shouted. "What why?"
"They are all heroes who died while on duty. This is a memorial. My best friend's name is also carved here..
...You guys I'll give you one more chance. But after lunch, I'll make it even harder to get the bells. Thise who still wish to challenge me can eta lunch. But, don't give any to Naruto. It's a punishment for trying to eat by yourself. If anyone gives him food, they will fail immediately. I am the rules here! Got it?" Just like that he vanished in a puff of smoke.
"Heh! I don't need any food. I'm fine!" But his stomach was saying or more like growling something else.
"Here" I gave my food to Naruto
"Hey Hikari! Sensai just said.."
"Don't worry, I don't sense him near here. After lunch we'll work together and get the bells." Sasuke said putting his food in front of Naruto as well.
"Sasuke-kun.. Here Naruto I am on a diet anyways. What I mean is that you can have my food." Sakura also gave her food to Naruto.
"Thanks you guys" naruto said in tears.
Then Kakashi sensai came in and he was furious "YOU GUYS!...
...PASS"
"Eh?" "huh" "say what?"
"I said you guys passed. You guys are the first. Everyone else would just do what I told them. A ninja must be behind deception. Those who break the rules are scum but those who don't care for their comrades are worse then scum."
'Hey maybe he isn't such a baka after all.' I smiled
"YAY! YAY! I DID IT! I DID IT! I AM A NINJA NOW!"
"That ends the training. Ok! Starting tomorrow team 7 will begin it's duties!"
"YEA! Lets go!" We all picked our bags and headed home.
"GOD DAMN IT! I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN! UNTIE ME!"
"Hahahahahhahahahahahaha Don't worry Naru, I didn't forget about you." I cut the rope with the kunai I had. "Come on lets go"
"Thanks Kari-chan" Naruto smiled and picked his bag. Then we all headed to Ichirakus to celebrate the start of team 7.
"What is the distance from the target?"
"Five meters. Im ready anytime."
"so am I"
"Me too"
"... Hikari"
"yeah yeah"
"ok then... GO!"
"YEAHH!" Everyone ran towards the target except me and sensai. I casually walked toward the target.
"Gotcha!" "Ribbon on the left ear, are you sure this is the target Tora?"
"Affirmative" I just rolled my eyes.
"Good, lost pet Tora search mission complete!" Then Tora the cat started to scratch Naruto's face. "AAHHH STUPID CAT!"
"Oi Naru! Don't hurt the cat! Give her to me." I took the cat from Naruto. "Come on Tora, lets give you back to your owner."
"Wha- How is that cat not scratching her?" Saukra asked
"She loves animals and they love her, even an angry dog will start to lick her when they see her." Sasuke said
-at the hokage tower-
"ohh my Tora chan! I was soo worried!" The fire lord's wife had tora in a death hug. She was squeezing the life out of the cat. 'poor cat. No wonder she ran away.'
"hehehehehe The cat deserves it." Naruto grinned
"shush naru"
"Alright for the next jobs we have baabysitting, gardening or-"
"Noooo!" Naruto made a cross with his hands "I don't want to do these chores! I am a ninja now I want a real mission!" "I agree" I put my hands on my hips
"You idiot! Everyone has to work with easy missions and work their way up!"
"But why do we have to do these chores!?" I said
"But we keep on getting the crappiest jobs possible!" Naurto shouted
BONK! BONK!
"Be quiet the both of you!" Kakashi sensai hit the both of us on our heads.
"I guess I need to tell you both what these duties are all about..."
"So I think that I am gonna get miso ramen today."
"No I am actually going more for pork ramen."
"But we had it last night"
"yeah I know but I feel like eating again today."
"...ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?!" Hokage shouted
"But you know what!? I am not the same trouble making brat that you still think about"
"Ok then, if you really want to prove yourself. I will give you a C-rank mission. You have to protect a certain individual."
"Whhaa-"
"Yeaaa! Who are we going to protect a feudal lord? A princess?" Naruto and I started jumping in excitement.
"Calm down. Let me introduce him. Please come in."
In came a drunken man with a bottle of sake in his hand "who are these a bunch of brats? Especially the shortest one with an idiotic face."
It took a minute for Naruto to get that the man was talking about him. "I WILL DEMOLISH YOU!"
"whats the point of killing our client even before the mission started?"
"I am the super expert bridge builder Tazuna. I expect you will give me super protection until I complete my bridge."
"More like super drunk bridge builder Tazuna. I can smell sake from across the room." I mumbled
"What did you say, brat?" Tazuna looked me.
"Nothing" Kakashi sensai said "Everyone go pack for the mission and meet up at the village gates in an hour.
