Naruko stumbles sleepily into the assigned training ground with Sasuke. The raven haired boy had pulled Naruko out of bed around 4 just to make sure she was up and ready to go. He then received a loud tongue lashing for his troubles and now had to spend an hour with a grumpy and sleepy Naruko.
"Stupid teme waking people up so early in the morning. Stupid sensei for making us get up this early in the morning. Stupid no eating breakfast rule made up by stupid sensei" Naruko grumbled as she stumbled over to a tree to lean against as she snuggled up in her orange and blue jacket for a short nap.
"Quit complaining Dobe. You don't hear me or Hinata compl... And she's asleep" Sasuke sighed hearing the soft snores coming from the blonde haired girl. "Do you think our sensei would mind if I beat some senses into that idiot because she needs it" he growled to his blue haired teammate.
"Sasuke-Kun I'm afraid it doesn't work that way" Hinata giggled thinking Naruko looked adorable as she took a seat beside her.
Sasuke scoffed as he walked over to another tree and leaned against it deciding it best to get some distance between him and Naruko before he did end up strangling her. "Well at least I have you on the team to keep me sane Hinata" he grumbled, but after a while hearing no response from her he looked over and saw Hinata leaning against Naruko sound asleep.
"Guess even the most responsible of students have to break the rules every now and then" he mused smiling at his two female teammates as he stared up into the dusk colored sky.
*Three Hours later*
Kakashi walked into his team's assigned training ground surprised to find the three pre-teens sound asleep leaning against each other. He let a small smile grace his covered lips seeing the peaceful faces of his students. "So cute. Too bad I have to wake them up "he thought deviously as he made a few hand signs that created a whip of water that he splashed over his students sleeping figures.
Naruko jumped up screaming after getting drenched in ice cold water. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MOTHERFU***** MIND!" she screamed glaring at her smirking sensei. She knew he was smirking behind his mask because he had the same aura around him that Sasuke and her brother always have when they feel smug about making a fool out of her.
"I've been asked that a many of times and the answer to that question is yes. I lost my mind a long time ago" Kakashi humored eye smiling at his fuming little sister.
Naruko growled as she made a lunge for the smug bastard, but was caught mid-leap by Sasuke who was holding her by the back of her collar to stop her from clawing their sensei's eyes out.
"Ah good morning sensei. Sorry for falling asleep" Hinata said softly not meeting his eye as she fiddled with her wet hoodie and undershirt while Naruko was in the background cussing him out.
"Hinata don't apologize to that jackass. It's his fault were tired in the first place and fell back asleep when he's the one that's late. You said to meet up here at five o'clock and by the position of the sun I say it's close to eight or nine o'clock, so why are you late?" Naruko demanded calming down a little bit in her struggle to escape from Sasuke's iron grip.
"Well, my devious little student I crossed paths with this black cat so I had to travel a different route to avoid it, then I was called to duty to help a sweet old lady carry her groceries, and then finally I got lost on the journey of life" Kakashi said seriously with an amused smirk on his face with his little eye smile in place.
Naruko felt a vein throbbing on her temple as her struggle to get free was brought back to life. "Let me go Teme I'm about rip this guy a new one!" she screamed reaching out for her black haired sensei ready to throttle him.
"Dobe let it go. That's what we get for falling asleep" Sasuke sighed tightening his hold on her collar. "If he had been an enemy ninja we all be dead right now. Isn't that right sensei."
"Indeed. A ninja must always remain aware of their surroundings under any circumstance they find themselves in. Examples include fatigue, skill, environment, and squads. In this situation you three are going up against a Jounin class ninja who has a higher skill level then you while also being handicapped by your hunger and tiredness" Kakashi explained as he walked over to a stump.
Naruko huffed giving up on her futile attempt at escape glaring at Kakashi as he placed a timer on the stump. "Whatever, let's just start this stupid test already" she grumbled as Sasuke placed her back on the ground.
Kakashi clicked on the timer gaining the attention of his students. "The timer is set for noon. Here are two bells. Your mission is simple come at me and try to take these bells from me before noon otherwise you will be tied to one of those stumps and will not be given any lunch. You will also have to watch me eat my lunch in front of you" he explained.
"That's why he told us not to eat anything" thought the three preteens feeling the pangs inside their stomachs. "What kind of sick freak did we get stuck with as sensei" Naruko thought clutching her grumbling stomach as she slumped over in despair.
"As you can see there are two bells and you only need one to pass, but since there are three of you one of you will fail and be tied to the stump. Not only will you be tied up you will fail the test and be sent back to the academy" he said neutrally while gauging his students reactions.
Sasuke looked indifferent with a slight hint of irritation at this announcement. Hinata looked scared and worried shaking fearfully on her legs at the thought of failing or watching one of her friends fail and forced back to the academy. Naruko gulped feeling a little panic rise up inside her, but was quickly pushed away as she clutched at her locket to draw strength from it.
Kakashi let his terms sink in before continuing. "You are allowed to come at me with everything you got that includes your ninja equipment and any jutsu you know. If you are not prepared to come at me to kill me you will fail this exam."
"Se...Sen..sei! We can't. W...We could ser..seriously in..injury you" Hinata cried out fearfully bring her index finger to cover up her trembling lip. Hinata felt uncomfortable with the terms of this test seeing as this was putting her new sensei and friends in a dangerous situation.
Kakashi sighed. "I have a lot of work to do with her. Her heart is in a good place, but her soft and timid nature will put her and others in danger if not taken care of." Kakashi thought before turning to Naruko when he heard her give out a devious giggle.
"Ha! Hinata's right sensei. If you can get so easily caught be a child's prank what makes you so sure you can handle us going all out on you" Naruko said smugly grinning her fox like smile at him feeling better about her chances of taking a bell now.
"Well considering it was one of your pranks I say I'm allowed a pass especially since Lady Kaede was your teacher. Looks like I have to make them take me seriously. Time for a little revenge~" "I suppose the girl known for her no talent and lack of common sense would be the one to talk big. In the ninja world the weak talk while the strong prove themselves. Now we will ignore our little trouble student and begin when I say..."
Naruko felt a vein pop on her forehead from being insulted by her smug scarecrow of a sensei. "No Talent! Lack of Common Sense! WEAK! LITTLE! That's it this guy's is doing down!"
Naruko snatched out a Kunai from her back pouch yelling in furry as she drew it back to throw at Kakashi with no sign of holding back, but before she could release it she felt a hand grab her wrist and her arm pulled behind her back with another hand holding her head.
"I guess I can add impatient to my character traits of you. You should wait until someone says to start" Kakashi scolded holding Naruko in place standing behind her.
Hinata and Sasuke both jumped back in surprise staring at their sensei in disbelief.
"Incredible, I never saw him move." Hinata thought stunned by his speed.
"So this is a show of a Jounin's skill level" Sasuke thought feeling excited about the upcoming challenge he was about to have.
"I guess you three are finally ready to come at me with the intent to kill does that mean I've gained your acknowledgement?" Kakashi teased watching the three kids stare at him with different emotions. "I think I'm starting to like you kids. If you're ready then lets... BEGIN!"
All four members of the soon to be team seven disappeared from the clearing heading off in four opposite directions. Sasuke headed towards the tallest tree thinking he get a better assessment of the area and the best place to come out and attack Kakashi while maintaining a secluded hiding spot. Hinata took covered under lush and leafy bushes to hide her presence.
"Well I guess the kids get some points for knowing the basic tactic of any Shinobi is to conceal yourself to plan a surprise attack on your enemy." Kakashi thought as he located Sasuke's and Hinata's hiding spots. "Found two, but where's Naruko?"
"Okay you freak of a sensei come over here and face me like a man! That is if you're brave enough to do it!" Naruko yelled standing proudly in front of him with her arms crossed over her chest.
Sasuke sighed while face palming himself. "Baka! Can't she do the simplest of ninja tactics?!" he mentally screamed feeling the urge to knock some senses into her head again.
Hinata swat dropped, but gave a low giggle at her friend's antics. "Well this is something Naru-Chan would do" she taught before going back on guard. "Alright Hinata time to stay focus. I have to be ready to help Naru-chan when she needs me that is if I don't get in her way"
Kakashi slumped over looking disturbed by Naruko's actions. "Yugao and I taught her better than this at least I thought we did? "You are a very weird child. Are you sure you're aiming to be Hokage with this kind of skill level?" he questioned.
Naruko lost her playful aura shifting it to her serious and determined one. She pulled off her still wet jacket to tie around her waist as she charged at her black haired sensei. "Shut up you freak of a teacher! I'm about to show you exactly how I'm going to become Hokage right now. Cuz I will be Hokage someday ya know!"
Kakashi kept up his stoic appearance as he watched Naruko charge at him before releasing a loud sigh. "I'll feel sorry for our village if you were to become the Hokage with such a pitiful skill level, so allow me to teach you the art of being a Shinobi. Listen and watch me closely because I'm about to teach you your first lesson of Taijutsu" he says reaching down into his side pouch.
Naruko skidded to a halt when he reached into his pouch giving him a cautious stare. "Taijutsu? Nee-Chan told me Taijutsu is the Shinobi technique of hand to hand combat. If he's supposed to be teaching me Taijutsu why's he going for a weapon?" she thought before switching into a defensive stance eyeing Kakashi's movements thoroughly so he won't catch her off guard. "Well, whatever he's plotting I'll counter it and give him a thrashing. That'll teach him not to underestimate me."
"Well, at least she has sense enough to pay attention to him, but what's he trying to pull?" Sasuke wonder as he kept his sharp onyx eyes fixed on their sensei preparing for his next move to cover Naruko if needed.
Hinata tensed up under the bush before quickly performing a few hand signs to activate her Byakugan to try and see what her sensei was going for inside his pouch. "Is Kakashi-Sensei really aiming to hurt Naru-chan?" she wondered worriedly as she focused in on his pouch.
Kakashi kept a neutral face as he stared Naruko down making sure to mask his amusement from his students as he reached inside his pouch quickly removing from the leather bag an orange colored book.
Naruko, Sasuke, and Hinata doubled over stupefied by their sensei actions of bringing out a little orange book instead of a weapon of some sort when they all were tensing up for it. "What an idiot." "Sensei is so cruel." "I'M GOING TO KILL THIS GUY!" Were the separate thoughts of Kakashi's pupils as he opened his book up to read.
Getting tired of being made a fool of Naruko threw caution to the wind and charged at the guy with every attention knocking the guy clear across the field with a powerful right hook, but was stunned when her fist was caught by her sensei with little effort as he continued to read. "What?"
"Oh is this a show of your skill or are you just warming up?" Kakashi asked turning the page of his book.
Naruko growled as she flipped out his grasp aiming a high knee for his chest, but watched Kakashi lean back to dodge. Touching back down on the ground she pushed off hoping to get him with a nice round house kick, but watched him duck under her outstretched leg. Growling louder she lashed out with another powerful fist, but just like her previous attacks Kakashi just moved out of reach. "Kuso! Why can't I get a single hit in!"
Kakashi popped up behind her placing a hand on her shoulder. "Maybe if you didn't get so big headed and angry you might actually hit something little one" he said before pushing her forwards with a chakra infused palm to send her into the nearby lake.
Before she was sent flying Naruko looked behind at Kakashi in surprise. "Little one?" she mumbled before falling into the lake and sinking to the bottom. "Strange I just felt like I had a sudden deja vu moment just then.. Arragh! What am I thinking at a time like this! This guy is making a total fool out of me! I have to get one of those bells no matter what!"
Reaching into her back pouch she threw out two shuriken towards Kakashi who giggling perversely at something he read watching as he caught them easily with two fingers surprising both Sasuke and Hinata who were tensing up again in their hiding spots thinking about their next course of action against their powerful sensei.
"DAMMIT ALL TO HELL!" Naruko screamed underwater reaching her breaking point with this guy.
"This guy's reading and laughing at a stupid book barely paying Naruko any attention. He's just making a fool of her" Sasuke thought clenching his fist tightly ready to jump out and attack.
Hinata gave the lake a sympathetic look feeling Naruko's anger from where she hid. "Poor Naru-Chan."
Naruko clenched her fist as she fought down her anger moving it to fuel her desire to win. "I won't.." She raised her arms to perform a few hand signs as memories from the night she fought Mizuki replayed through her mind. "I won't lose!"
"Naruko's been down there for a while wonder if I used too much power in that last attack?" Kakashi wondered before sensing a strong charka emerge training his eyes on the lake as it bubbled and rippled violently. "What the?"
The water around Naruko began to swirl and bubble around her as she focused her chakra into her technique making the water glow a bright blue as her chakra expanded through the water creating a small vortex. "Still new to this technique, but with it I will make this guy acknowledge my strength and prove to him I can become a great Shinobi worthy of becoming Hokage!"
Taking a deep breath Naruko began to spin on the lakes under water floor turning the little vortex she created into a full blown raging whirlpool before breathing out and sending multiple compressed wind blades mixed with water towards a surprised and stunned Jounin.
Closing his book Kakashi jumped far out of the way to dodge the onslaught of wind and water blades. He used a zigzag movement to escape from the range of the blades until they finally ceased and a breathless Naruko reappeared on the shore of the lake hunched over and gasping for breath.
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Hinata all stared wide eyed at the little blond girl as she crawled out of the lake soaked to the bone with multiple cuts lining her arms and legs.
"Kuso! How did they all miss! Ah I have to keep practicing that attack still isn't coming out the way I want it to" Naruko whined banging her fist on the ground frustrated at her lack of control.
"That jutsu? Was that the Fūton: Shinkūha?* I heard Naruko learned the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu*, but to see her using this one is unreal" Kakashi thought as he surveyed the damage Naruko's attack had caused before giving his little sister a proud smile. "Well done Imōto." "You know if you had better control of your attacks you probably would have given me a worse wound" he says as the gash in his left arm splattered the ground with a few drops of blood.
"Cut me some slack would ya! I just learned that jutsu a few days ago and besides if I wasn't so hungry I would have taken your whole arm off!" Naruko yelled glaring at her sensei as her stomach let out a loud rumble.
"Hn don't fool yourself little one. Just because you are able to use an A rank class ninjutsu does not mean your skills are up to my standards. No matter what you learn you are still Naruko Uzumaki and you cannot beat me" Kakashi said going back to his book missing the devious smirk that appeared on Naruko's face.
"Let's see about that Kakashi-Sensei" Naruko said getting back to her feet.
Hearing the confidence in Naruko's words he glanced back up at her and froze as he felt something latch onto him from behind. "What?! When did she used the Kage Bunshin?!"
Naruko was grinning victoriously while Sasuke, Hinata and Kakashi were all shocked by this turn of events.
"Ha! Take that you freaky sensei! I told you I show you my true power and here's a lesson for you and everyone else. Don't ever underestimate me because I'm the girl who's going to become the next Hokage! Believe it!" she yelled performing another set of hand signs creating more clones of her.
Sasuke sat in his tree looking down on Naruko in amusement feeling a little proud of her. "Nice plan, but your still a dobe."
"Amazing Naru-Chan! She was able to catch sensei off guard maybe she really will show people how great she is" Hinata thought happily.
Naruko and her clones all took off towards Kakashi jumping towards the subdued Jounin. "Okay ya scarecrow looking bastard time for some well-deserved payback!"
Taking the lead Naruko pulled her fist back ready to deliver a nice right hook to her sensei's face, but right as her fist connected with his cheek he disappeared and was replaced with a tree stump. "Huh?! Damn him he tricked me again!"
"Nice try Naru-chan, but you're still too inexperienced to get me" Kakashi thought watching Naruko throw a tantrum from where he sat reaching back into his pouch for a few shuriken. "Time to take an offensive position in this game."
"What a baka. He pulled the Kawarimi no Jutsu* on her" Sasuke thought scanning the area to relocate Kakashi.
Hinata bit her bottom lip concentrating on where her sensei had disappeared too. She reactivated her Byakugan and searched the area quickly located his chakra signature above Naruko and saw him remove a few shuriken from his pouch. Gasping Hinata quickly charged out from under the bush to push Naruko out of the way of the oncoming shuriken attack.
Naruko huffed as she was knocked to the side and stared in shock at the little pile ninja weapons embedded in the ground where she once was before turning to her shaken blue haired friend and teammate. "Thanks Hinata! You totally saved my butt just then."
"N..No problem Naru-chan. I…I wa..was happy to he...help" she stuttered out glad she got Naruko out of harm's way in time.
"Good job Hinata. You used your ability to keep a lookout on your teammates, but you opened yourself up to your enemy and gave your position away" Kakashi stated jumping out of the tree to hover over the girls.
Hinata tensed up while Naruko growled at him. "Shut up scarecrow! Hinata was being a good teammate!" she yelled defending Hinata's action.
"True, Hinata was being a good teammate, but she gave her position away. If this was a real mission her actions could have jeopardized it" Kakashi countered.
Hinata bit her lip as she started to shake, but forced the trembling to stop. "I…I don't ca..care" she said timidly.
Kakashi and Naruko perked up at her soft reply and faced the slightly trembling Hyuga heiress. "What was that Hinata?"
"I said I..I don't care. I..It may have jeopardized my mi…mission, but I saved my friend and that means more to me than any mission" she replied making eye contact with Kakashi.
Kakashi studied his student's pupil less eyes and saw the conviction they held and couldn't resist the show of approval in his own dark eyes. "I see. Your one of the ones who choose a friend over a mission. I guess you're one of the ones I can't consider to be scum" he mumbles to himself low enough so no one could hear him except for a certain super hearing knucklehead. "Good work Hinata, but you better hurry time's running out and you know what'll happen when the buzzer sounds."
Both girls stomach growled as they began to panic at seeing what little time they had left. Sasuke focused in on Kakashi seeing how he was being distracted by dealing with the girls deciding now was his moment to strike.
Sasuke sen multiple kunais and shurikens towards Kakashi watching as they all hit to the horror of his female teammates, but the horror didn't last long as Kakashi was replaced with another tree stump. "Damn! It's another substitution!" he cursed as he jumped out of the tree sprinting away knowing Kakashi discovered his position.
"Alright Sasuke lets see if you can match up with your teammates" Kakashi thought as he followed after the boy leaving Naruko and Hinata in the clearing by themselves.
"Naru-Chan we have to go. S..sensei might at..attack Sasuek-kun" Hinata said worriedly.
Naruko sat on the ground smiling her plotting and devious smile. "Don't worry Hina-Chan. I think I just came up with a plan to pass this stupid test" she tells her looking confident with her idea.
"You did?" Hinata questioned before feeling a little anxious. "But Naru-chan aren't we supposed to get the bells on our own? Even if we did get a bell one of us will be tied up and sent back to the academy" she said sadly knowing she might be saying goodbye to one or both of them if they failed.
Naruko continued to smile as she got up and patted Hinata's back. "No worries Hinata this plan is going to work. Just do everything I say and this test is as a good as done."
Hinata still felt unsure about this, but seeing the confidence shining in Naruko's eyes gave her all the resolve she needed. "I believe in you Naru-chan. What do you need me to do."
Naruko's smile grew as she leaned closer to Hinata's ear. "Okay the first step is too..."
