A/N: Updated chapter!
The Two Bells
"Introduce yourselves one at a time." Kakashi said. They were on the roof of the academy.
"What do we talk about?" Sakura asked.
"I dunno, things you like, things you don't like, goals for the future, hobbies…"
"Well, why don't you go first, sensei?" Sakura asked.
"Me? Well, my name is Kakashi Hatake. Things I like and don't like, I don't really feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future? Never thought about that deeply. Hobbies, hmm, I have lots of hobbies."
All three genin sweat-dropped. So all we really learned was his name, and we already knew that. Naruto thought.
"Ok, you on the left start." Kakashi said.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like… ramen I suppose. I don't like really thick and stupid people. My dreams are to be really powerful and my hobbies? Uhh, never really thought about that either."
Not what I expected, but the boy isn't what everyone was telling me. Kakashi thought. "Next."
"I'm Sakura Haruno, I like…well (blushes at Sasuke) I don't like a certain pig called Ino, my dream for the future is… (giggles at Sasuke) my hobby is…well (looks at Sasuke). (A/N: I've made Sakura a Sasuke fan girl and her hobby is staring at Sasuke's face.)
Boy, love these days. I just hope she gets out of fan girl mode or she won't make a good kunoichi. Kakashi thought. "Uh-huh, next."
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, I only like a few things like my talent at fighting, I haven't a dream but I swear I will kill a certain someone and restore my clan to its formal glory. I have no hobbies."
Hmm, he's a very dark boy, I'll have to make sure he isn't hell-bent on revenge.
"Ok, tomorrow I will give you a test, a survival test. You have to pass my test or move back to the academy." Kakashi said.
"WHAT?!" Sakura shouted.
"I just turned into a genin, I can't go back to the academy!" shouted Naruto.
Kakashi shrugged. Then you'll just have to pass my test. But I'll warn you, nobody has ever passed my test."
The three were shocked.
"Well I bet we'll be the first ones to do it!" Naruto exclaimed, excitement clear in his eyes.
Kakashi did a closed-eye smile. That boy's got spirit. "Ok, come to the training ground 7 at eight o'clock tomorrow and we'll see just how determined you are. Oh and you might wanna skip breakfast, you'll throw up."
-----
Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke were waiting at the training grounds for their sensei to appear. Two hour chugged by.
Suddenly Kakashi appeared in a puff of smoke in front of them.
"Yo." He said cheerfully.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!!!? WE HAVE BEEN WAITING HERE FOR TWO STINKING HOURS!!!!"
"Uh, sorry about that," he said scratching the back of his head, "an old lady needed help crossing the road."
"MAN! You and your lame excuse!" Naruto said, throwing his hands in the air in defeat.
Kakashi shrugged. "Ok, here are the rules." He said. He dug into his pocket and showed them two bells. "The aim is to get these bells. But one of you will have to sacrifice themselves to let the others have the bells. The one without a bell will go back to the academy, well, that is if you even get a bell, which you probably won't."
Kakashi magically brought out a timer and set it on one of the posts. "You have until noon to get these bells. Oh and one more thing, the loser or the worst person will be tied to this post and watch while the others eat.
Three stomachs growled. "Oh that is so mean, no wonder you told us not to eat." Naruto said rubbing his stomach.
"Heh, ok, remember to come at me with the intent to kill, I won't mind. The test starts now." Kakashi slammed down the start button on the timer while the three genin leapt into a hiding place.
Kakashi looked around and smiled. "Rule number 1. Always try to take your opponent by surprise." (A/N: I've made up some rules by the way.)
"Kage Bushin no Justu!" a voice shouted and ten Naruto's charged at Kakashi.
Kakashi ducked from a punch and slashed the shadow clone with his kunai. It disappeared in a puff of smoke. Three other shadow clones tried using kunai to stab him but he jumped out of the way and destroyed them with a swipe of his own kunai. The others met the same fate.
Naruto stood facing Kakashi. "It'll take a lot more than that to beat me." Kakashi said.
"Ok! Ohhh, I'm going to try something out!"
Red chakra swirled around Naruto completely covering him like a cloak, except the cloak extended for a tail and long ears. Naruto blue eyes turned red and his nails turned into sharp claws. His teeth turned sharp and the three whisker marks on either side of his head grew more feral.
Kakashi looked stunned at Naruto.
"Yay, I finally get to try this out on someone. Don't worry Kakashi-sensei, this cloak is draining and I won't be able to hold it for long."
Naruto brought his right hand up and punched with an open hand. The chakra surrounding the arm extended and grew bigger incredibly fast and before he could move Kakashi was gripped by the chakra hand.
The hand pulled Kakashi back towards very happy Naruto. "Yay I got the bells!" he shouted as he plucked the bells from the side of Kakashi's pants.
Suddenly the Kakashi in Naruto's hand poofed into smoke and a hand came out of the ground and grabbed Naruto's leg and pulls him under ground until only his head can be seen.
Naruto looks up to see a smug Kakashi holding the bells Naruto previously had. "Nice and warm in there? Don't worry, I'll get you out in about three hours, ok?"
He brings out a book from his pouch and starts reading it. "ICHA ICHA PARADISE!? You're reading that perverted book now!? Jeez." Naruto pouts.
Suddenly two shurikan flies at Kakashi's head but amazingly, while still reading the book, he brings out two kunai and catches the shurikan with them.
Kakashi then starts leaping towards the bushes where the shurikan came from and disappears into the forest.
"Damn it." Naruto curses. "And I was so close." He surrounds himself in red chakra and makes it expand. The earth holding Naruto explodes and when the dust clears Naruto is standing in a large crater.
"I'll show him." And bounds of towards where he saw Kakashi head towards.
