9: You Pass – Kakashi's Final Decision!
Suiren Uzumaki: The disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fangirl in pre-shippuden, and Naruto would have his father's smarts while keeping his mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them. I do, however, own Ryurama Senju, Yuki Senju nee Miran, Raika Miran (Senju), & the White Tiger Summoning Contract (A/N: If there is already a White Tiger Summoning Contract…then please ignore the last part). Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also, if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!
…My Line…
Before he hit play, Jiraiya looked around at the others, who all were relaxing in their seats with their teacups in hand.
"Time for another episode," he cheered as he pressed play.
The group all looked to the screen as it lit up.
…My Line…
'Way to go Sasuke,' the Miran thought. 'You just killed log.' She let out a sigh before the two pre-teen going towards where she knew Sakura was. 'But, at least now we know where he is.'
…My Line…
Tsunade and Obito snorted while Minato just shook his head with a small smile.
...My Line...
'A substitution jutsu,' Sasuke thought in anger. 'Now he knows where I am.' The Uchiha moved through the trees. 'I got to move fast.' Sasuke picked up speed. 'I thought he lowered his guard, but he did that on purpose, and I fell for it.'
…My Line…
'So that's where he is,' Kakashi thought. 'Hahaha.'
…My Line…
"Seriously don't laugh Bakashi! It's creepy!"
"Pip down, dope."
"Stop it you two."
"Kakashi, Obito!"
"You two better knock it off or I will separate you both."
…My Line…
The greenette let out a sigh of annoyances when she felt Sakura chakra moving away from the clearing meaning that she was looking for Sasuke.
'What is wrong with those two?' she thought as she looked over to Naruto. "Haruno is on the move."
"That means that she is looking for Sasuke-teme," the blonde said as he looked thoughtful.
"Yup."
The two friends, who are unaware of being cousins, shared a look with each other of annoyance before they picked up the pace.
…My Line…
"I bet that Raika calls everyone, but Naruto by their last names," Tsunade stated.
"Also tack on name calling for Sasuke and Sakura," Jiraiya told her.
"That, too," the Senju Matriarch agreed.
"Suckers bet," Team Minato said together.
...My Line...
'Sasuke where are you?' Sakura thought was she moved through the forest. 'Don't tell me that Kakashi-sensei found him. No! He can't capture my Sasuke. I won't let him.' Sakura dropped to her knees when she saw Kakashi standing there reading his book. 'He didn't hear me. I'm safe.'
"Sakura behind you," Kakashi whispered in her ear.
Sakura looked behind her before screaming.
…My Line…
Every female face palmed while the males just raised an eyebrow in disbelief.
"Huh?"
...My Line...
Episode 9: You Fail – Kakashi's Final Decision!
"Well, Hatake found Haruno," Raika sighed.
Naruto looked at her wondering what her problem with Kakashi was, but left it alone.
"Are we going?" he asked.
"Yes," the hidden female Senju answered. "We need Uchiha and Haruno if we're to pass."
"Sasuke-teme isn't going to work with us and Sakura will follow him," the blonde reminded her. "You do know that, right?"
"I am aware," the greenette sighed. "But, we have to try."
The two pre-teens picked up their pace as they hoped to get to the pinkette in time.
…My Line…
"Called it!" the Slug Princess cheered.
There was a round of laughter at that.
...My Line...
Kakashi placed his hand into the rat sign before leaves appeared and swirled around the pinkette whose eyes were blank. Once he vanished so too did the leaves which left the Haruno standing there.
"Oh my," she blinked before she started to look around. "Is someone there? I think I felt something. What was it?" Sakura then placed her hands on her head. "What going on?!"
"Sakura!" the Uchiha called out from behind her.
"Sasuke!" she cheered as she spun around.
However, the pinkette froze when she saw the second oldest Genin kneeling on the ground with kunai and shuriken sticking out of him.
"S-Sakura...ah...h-help me...please, help me?"
The Haruno's eyes were wide as tears formed before she screamed and then pass out.
…My Line…
"Shouldn't she be good with Genjutsu?" the Hatake asked confused.
"I…think so," Rin answered a bit unsure.
The dark hair 12-year-old just remained silent as he didn't know what to say.
...My Line...
"I bet you 50 dollars that Haruno fell for a Genjutsu of a badly wounded Uchiha," Raika said when they heard the pinkette's scream.
"That is a suckers bet," Naruto deadpanned.
The Miran cackled softly at that without losing her speed.
…My Line…
The Uzumaki Matriarch and Jiraiya started laughing at that while the Senju Matriarch looked every proud of the younger Senjus.
…My Line…
Kakashi sat in a tree reading his book.
"I think I over did it a bit, but she's got to see through these things."
…My Line…
'That sounds like Sakura,' Sasuke thought as he looked where the scream came from.
…My Line…
"Shinobi battle technique #2: the illusion jutsu," Kakashi said as he turned a page. "Sakura studied it in class and yet she didn't see it coming."
…My Line…
"I have to agree with Hatake-san," Fugaku spoke up. "With the low reserves that she has which goes hand in hand with amazing chakra control than Haruno-san should have been able to see it for what it was."
"Your right, Fugaku-san," Hiruzen agreed with him. "Which is why the moment that we leave here I have making some much needed changes to the Academy." He looked at the Uchiha Patriarch and the Senju Heir. "And I would like the help of you both, Fugaku-san, Minato-kun."
"Gladly, Lord Hokage," the two males agreed at once.
Their wives smiled at them as they felt that this might be good for the two founding clans and it would even help the Uchihas standing in the village.
…My Line…
'Genjutsu...It's just a simple mind control,' Sasuke thought. 'I'm not surprised he got, Sakura, with it, but…' "I'm not like, Sakura or Naruto or Raika."
"Say that after you get one of these bells," Kakashi told him as he pushed off a tree. "My Sasuke. *Laugh*" Kakashi dodged kunai and shuriken that Sasuke threw at him. 'There's no point in using normal attacks.' Sasuke smirked before throwing a kunai at a robe. 'A trap?' Kakashi dodged it to only block Sasuke's punched with his hand then he blocked a kick followed by another kick. 'What?' Kakashi's eyes widen when Sasuke smirked. 'This kid.' The Uchiha reached for a bell just barely touching one when Kakashi jumped back. 'He's fierce. I won't be able to read Make Out Paradise now.'
…My Line…
"Naruto and Raika are better," Kushina stated.
"Kushina, one is your son and the other a cousin-in-law," Mikoto spoke up. "So, you don't get a say in this."
"I agree with Mikoto-chan," the Sarutobi seconded. "In fact, none of us get a say in, who we believe it better."
"Huh?"
"Why?"
"Because we all have connection to one or more of the students of Team 7," the Hokage answered. "Like me, I am a student of the Nidaime Hokage, Tsunade is the granddaughter and niece of the Shodaime and Nidaime, Jiraiya is the teacher of Minato-kun, Minato is the great grandson and nephew of the first two Hokages, and…need I say anything about the Uchihas?"
...My Line...
Raika and Naruto ran up to Sakura, who was out cold, making them look at her with a raised eyebrow, but the greenette bind down and gently shook Sakura awake.
"Haruno," the Miran called. "Get up."
"Wh-What happened?" the Haruno asked.
"I was hoping you would tell us," Naruto stated.
Sakura eyes widen when she remembers seeing Sasuke on the verge of death.
'Huh? Sasuke…I saw him,' she thought. 'He was on the verge…No!' She stood up. "Sasuke no! You got to survive! Please! Where are you?"
"Um…Haruno," Raika said a little bit unsure if she was ok or not.
Sakura looked over at them surprised to see the two.
"Where did you two come from?"
"We've been here for a while now," the Uzumaki answered as Raika looked to annoyed to answer. "Anyways, if we're to get the bells we'll to work as a team."
"Yeah, right," Sakura snorted. "Like I would work with you two." This made the greenette to twitch. "Anyways, I have got to find Sasuke."
The pinkette then ran away from the blonde and green hair 12-year-olds.
...My Line...
Team Minato, the Senju couple, the two Sannin, and the Uchiha couple jaws drop at the pinkette's actions.
"Seriously?" Obito asked. "What the hell?!"
Minato, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Fugaku were all mumbling under their breaths about idiots and morons.
...My Line...
'If I knew that I wouldn't get in trouble, I would kill that girl,' the Miran thought with a growl before she let out a sigh. "Let's go find Uchiha?"
"Yeah," Naruto agreed sadly.
The greenette looked at him and bite her bottom lip in thought and his sad eyes just made her more pissed at the pinkette.
"Come on, Aniki," she said softly as she took his hand in her and started to lead him away.
The blonde allowed her to pull him away and towards Sasuke.
…My Line…
"Maybe Sasuke will work with them," Mikoto said though she sounded like she wasn't sure about that.
"We can only hope," her husband stated.
…My Line…
Unknown to the two hidden Senjus was the fact that Team Tobirama was watching them.
"Why that no good pink haired sorry excuse for a kunoichi!" Koharu snarled.
Homura looked just as pissed as her while Hiruzen looked sad before letting out a sigh.
"This squad 7 is on a trail run," the Sarutobi informed them. "If Raika asks for her and Naruto to taken off the squad than I will do that." He held up a file. "I want you two look at these files for me and tell me what you think of them?"
His two former teammates looked over the file before looking at him.
"The one named Sai is a ROOT spy, Hiruzen," Homura stated as he looked at him.
"Yes, I know," the Hokage nodded. "I was thinking that if this Squad 7 doesn't work then Naruto, Raika, and another Genin will make a new Squad under Tenzo while Sai will become a part of Squad 7."
The other two looked at him as it was a good idea before they turned back to the scene in front of them.
...My Line...
"Should have done that from the beginning," Hiruzen sighed.
His students all patted him on the back in sympathy.
…My Line…
The two pre-teens landed in a tree close by watching the whether one sided fight between their teammate and Sensei.
"Hatake has got this in the bag," Raika smirked with a small cackled.
Naruto snickered.
"I wish I had a camara for this," he told her.
The Miran gave him a bigger smirk as a Clone of hers appeared with a video camara.
"Never doubt your best friend's ability to think ahead," she told him.
The blonde had stars in his eyes as he gazed at his green hair friend.
"I love you," he told her.
"I know," the greenette giggled.
…My Line…
Minato, Kushina, and Tsunade didn't look impressed at all.
"We will need to make sure that they respect their teammates more when all is said and done," Kushina told the mother and son duo.
"Agreed," they seconded with a nod.
…My Line…
Kakashi looked at Sasuke.
"Well, you are different from the other two I'll grant you that," the silver hair Jonin said. "But, as for being different from Raika...well, I haven't seen her fight yet, so I can't said for sure."
Sasuke smirked as he started to do hands sighs.
'Horse, Tiger,' the Uchiha thought as he then lends back. 'Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!'
…My Line…
Fugaku allowed a small smile to appear on his face at the sight of his youngest son's skills.
"That's my boy," he praised.
His wife smiled at him as she felt joy that he isn't playing favorites.
…My Line…
"What?" Kakashi said in surprise. "Genin can't do fire jutsu! It takes to mush charka! There's just no way!"
The dark hair Genin proved Kakashi wrong with he blew a fireball at him. When the fire died down Sasuke was surprised to see that Kakashi wasn't there.
'Where did he go?' Sasuke thought was he looked around. 'Behind me, above.'
…My Line…
Identical smirks appeared on the best friends' faces as a hand shot out of the ground and grabbed Sasuke around his ankle.
…My Line…
The Hatake smirked at the scene that is about to play out.
…My Line…
"Where?" Kakashi asked. "Where you least expect me."
Sasuke screamed out in surprise as Kakashi pulled him into the ground to where only his head was sticking out.
…My Line…
"Oh, Sasuke," the ravenette sighed.
"Well, I didn't expect him to win against a Jonin of Hatake-san's skills," Fugaku told his wife.
The Uchiha Head was many things, but an idiot wasn't one of them as even he knew that a lone Genin can't take on a Jonin by themselves…even if they are Uchihas.
…My Line…
However, both Raika and Naruto were double over laughing their asses off quietly at the scene before them.
…My Line…
"Right under your feet," the Hatake stated "Earth style: Headhunter jutsu."
…My Line…
"Hey, Kakashi," the Nohara spoke up.
"Huh?"
The silver hair pre-teen looked over at her confused.
"Isn't your affinity lightening?" she asked.
"Yeah, it is," he answered. "Why?"
"Well, shouldn't those with an affinity for lightening have difficulty learning and using Earth Style Jutsus?"
Kakashi blinked at the question seeing as the brunette wasn't wrong, but he didn't know how it was possible even for him.
…My Line…
"I didn't know that he knew Earth Style Jutsus," Naruto said as he tried to catch his breath.
"Kakashi Hatake is said to have copied over a Thousand Jutsus," the greenette told him as she calmed down. "So, I am not surprised that he can use Earth Style Jutsus."
"Cool."
This got him a small cackled from the Miran.
…My Line…
The adults smiled at the small praise that Naruto said while Kakashi blushed under his mask.
…My Line…
Sasuke tried move to only be unable to.
"Can't move uh…?" the Jonin asked with a smile. "That was the third shinobi battle technique. You have talent and your right…you are different from the others, but different isn't always better." Kakashi turned around opening up his book. "They say the nail that sticks up is the one that gets hammered down."
"Great," Sasuke growled under his breath only to blink when the sound of explosions and Kakashi's yelps where heard. "Okay..."
…My Line…
"What was that?" the Uchiha pre-teen asked in shock and slight worry.
"Maybe the traps that Raika had sat up the night before," Mikoto answered.
"Huh."
…My Line…
Kakashi let out a sigh as he got rid of the last trap before smirking as the traps had Uzumaki and Miran written all over them, but there was something else to them. Something a bit more vicious that he didn't think that the best friends have in them for him.
'Clever,' he thought with pride. 'Very clever indeed.'
…My Line…
"I knew that she was a sadist!" the Hatake yelled. "I knew it!"
His two teammates laughed while his sensei just shook his head.
…My Line…
Sasuke looked around trying to look for a way out.
'He's stronger then I am. I can't around that."
Sasuke looked up when Sakura ran out of the bushes and stopped to see Sasuke looking at her from the ground. The pink hair 13-year-old stares then almost falls back, but was able to catch herself and stares again.
"Sakura?" Sasuke asked.
That did it for the Haruno because she freaked out.
"AH! SASUKE A HEAD WITHOUT A BODY AND HE'S TALKING"
Sakura for a second time that day faints.
"And that's my partner," Sasuke said with disbelief.
…My Line…
The sound of a hand meeting face sounded throughout the room as everyone face palmed.
…My Line…
Both Naruto and Raika deadpan at this before they let out a sigh each and hung their heads.
"What did Hiruzen-sensei allow this team's creation?" the Miran asked.
"No idea," the blonde answered.
…My Line…
"Good question," Jiraiya said as he looked at his sensei.
"Lord Hokage/"
"I have no clue," the Sarutobi answered.
…My Line…
"Good question," Homura snorted.
Koharu raised an eyebrow at the Hokage.
"Well?"
"I plea a moment of insanity," the Sandaime answered.
The two elders snorted in amusement at that, but kept quiet.
…My Line…
"Even old lady Koharu and old man Homura thinks that Team 7 shouldn't have been created."
…My Line…
Raika and Naruto finally walked out of the woods to see the Uchiha staring at them as they smirked at him.
"You two are not going to faint as well are you?" Sasuke asked him.
"No," Naruto snorted in amusement.
To answer his question Raika busted out laughing catching Sasuke off guard because he had never heard her laugh as long as he knew her. Once the greenette finally calmed down, Naruto walked over to Sasuke with a smirk on his face. The Uzumaki stopped a few feet from him and started to do hand sighs before slamming his hand down on the ground.
"EARTH STYLE: EARTH RELEASE!" he yelled.
Sasuke felt the ground around him loosen making it easy for him to get out of it. Once Sasuke was no longer in the ground Naruto stood up and looked at him.
"Let's wake up Sakura," the Uchiha sighed. "And make a plane of action."
"Figured it out finally, huh?" the blonde asked as he followed him.
…My Line…
"That's good, Sasuke," Mikoto praised.
"Very good," Fugaku agreed with a nod.
…My Line…
"The Uchiha got it," Koharu sighed in relief.
"It is good thing or Raika and Naruto would have made Genin and the other two be headed back to the Academy," Homura stated.
"That's true," the Sarutobi agreed with them with a nod. "And it would have caused one big headache for me."
The other two laughed at that while Hiruzen pouted at them.
…My Line…
The off screen Hiruzen also pouted while the group all laughed as well.
…My Line…
Sakura let out a groan as she came, too.
"Sasuke?" she asked before she shot up and then hugged. "You're okay!"
'Okay, I really want to know what Kakashi-sensei made her see,' Naruto thought with a raised eyebrow.
…My Line…
"No, you do not," Obito stated. "Believe me, you really don't."
The Nohara nodded in agreement with her childhood friend.
…My Line…
'Seriously,' Raika thought with a sigh.
"Hey!" the Uchiha yelled as he tried to get her to let go. "Cut it out! Let go! Let go!" Once the pinkette let him go, the dark hair Genin stood up. "We've got to get a bell before lunch. That doesn't leave much time."
"Sasuke, your still trying to get one of those bells?" the pinkette asked as she stood up.
"A while ago, I touched one," the dark hair 13-year-old answered. "Next time, I'll get one."
The Haruno gasped as she gave a strain smile.
"That is really great. I can't believe you did that. Your amazing."
"I can't believe it!" Inner Sakura yelled. "He touched one of the bells. I'll never get my hands on one of those things. Which means that Sasuke will pass, and I won't then we'll be separated forever! No, no, no, no, no!"
"Ah, it's almost lunch time," Sakura pointed out. "There's really not much time left, so maybe we should just give up and then try again next year."
…My Line…
"Pinky say what now?"
"Did she really just suggested that to an Uchiha?"
"And with a half Uzumaki right next to him to boot?"
…My Line…
Sasuke looked at her with a glare while Naruto rolled his eyes as the Miran looked at her in shock.
"If the four of us work together then we'll get a bell," the Uchiha informed her. "No matter how much I don't want to work with you three."
"Right back at ya," the blonde agreed with a nod.
"If I had my way then Naruto and I would have different teammates," Raika stated.
The pinkette blinked at the two of them before letting out a sigh.
'Great, I'm going to be stuck in the middle of two egos,' she thought in annoyances.
…My Line…
"Your just figuring that out NOW?!" Kushina asked in shock.
"Girl has got her head stuck so far up Sasuke-san's ass that I am surprised that she even noticed," Tsunade scoffed before she turned the Uchiha couple. "I do apologize if you both take a offense to what I said.
"It is fine, Lady Tsunade," Fugaku told her. "We completely understand."
…My Line…
The four Genin all ran through the forest towards the starting point where Naruto pinpointed his sister's chakra signature at.
"Are you sure that this plan will work, Naruto, Raika?" Sakura asked.
"I'm not sure," the blonde answered.
"I mean, this is Copy Ninja Kakashi, we are dealing with…" Raika added as the Uzumaki shrugged his shoulders. "So, there are many things that could go wrong, seeing as he is a former ANBU."
"But, if we just work together and focus on the teamwork of the team then we'll pass even if we don't get a bell," Naruto finished.
…My Line…
"Talk about creepy," Jiraiya shuddered.
"They sound more like twins then cousins," Mikoto giggled.
…My Line…
Sasuke looked at them from the corner of his eyes before looking ahead again while Sakura looked a little creeped out.
"That does sound reasonable," he agreed. "Kakashi is just looking for teamwork after all."
"He also might be looking for any weakness and strengths that way he can train us," the blonde added.
'Then again…maybe not,' the greenette thought.
The Uchiha smirked.
"This is going to be fun."
The Haruno sweatdropped at that.
'This is going to be…not fun,' she thought.
…My Line…
"Oh, girlie, anything that Bakashi does isn't fun at all," the Uchiha Chunin stated.
This got him a glare from the Hatake while Kushina coughed to cover up a laugh.
…My Line…
"WATER STYLE: WATER DRAGON JUTSU!" Kakashi heard a female voice called out.
Just then from the lake, a serpentine looking water dragon with yellow eyes rose up and launched at him, however, the Jonin managed to dodge. But, he ended up dodging again when Naruto came at him from his right only to duck as the Uchiha flew over his head while he spun out of the way of Sakura, who had come at his middle.
"Fire Style…"
"Wind Style…"
"Fire Ball Jutsu!"
"Great Breakthrough!"
The two jutsus of both boys joined together to create a bigger fire storm to which the Hatake ran through a form of hand signs.
…My Line…
Team Minato were on the edge of their seats while adults looked impressed at the combination jutsu from Sasuke and Naruto.
…My Line…
"Water Style: Water Wall!" the silver hair Jonin called out before he expelled the water from his mouth to block the fire.
This caused a smoke screen that if it wasn't for Raika's sensory ability then the team would have been blind. The four Genin kept trying to land a hit on the Jonin only to keep failing.
'Is he toying with us?' the pinkette thought as she made a move for the bell.
"Close," he told Naruto, who he dodged, only to have to duck under Sakura. "Whoa!" Kakashi had to then do a handspring to kept out of the way of Raika's tantō. "At this rate you'll never going to get a bell." The Jonin kept dodging their attacks with ease, but he watched the Miran's moves. 'She knows how to use that blade. Shisui taught her well, that's for sure.'
"Naruto, Sakura, Raika!" Sasuke called out after trying to attack again. "That formation we learned at the Academy."
…My Line…
"This is almost like our own bell test," Rin stated in surprise.
"True," Kakashi agreed with a nod. "Only the Deadlast is actually useful."
"What was that?!" Obito growled as he glared at the silver hair male.
"Are you going deaf now, too?" the Hatake asked with a smirk.
"KAKASHI!"
"Knock it off you two," the Nohara scolded. "And stay in your seat, Obito."
The two boys glared at each other while the Uchiha pre-teen sat down.
…My Line…
"Huh?"
"I don't know Sasuke," Sakura said as they stood up from where they collapsed. "I doubt a simple formation like that one well work with Kakashi-sensei."
"Just do it!"
"Well, I suppose it's worth a try," the pinkette said as she looked at the other two. "Am I right?"
"I guess it's better than doing nothing," Naruto sighed. "Ok, I'm in!" He grinned. "Now let's do this!"
"Let's go!"
"Yeah!"
"Right!"
"Bright it."
…My Line…
"You can do it!"
"Keep it up!"
The brunette and the Senju Matriarch shared a look with each other before giggling.
'Boys.'
…My Line…
The three of them then started to run around the Jonin in a circle before they started to jump about over him.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
"Wind Style: Blades of Wind!"
The two jutsu combined to make an even bigger fire storm.
"Water Style: Water Wall!" the Hatake called out as he expelled the water from his mouth to block the fire once again.
A smirk came to a Raika's face as she used a hand sign.
"Water Style: Water Bullet!" the greenette called out as she spit out multiple balls of water at the same time that Sakura threw some kunai and shuriken at the silver hair Jonin.
'Not bad,' Kakashi thought with a smirk as he dodged them with ease.
"Damn," Naruto groaned.
"He's good," the pinkette said.
But, it was at that moment that the alarm rung to which they all looked over.
"Well, looks like this is over," he told them making the four Genin to sigh. "Come on, you three. Let's go take a seat and talk."
"Yes, Sensei," the blonde and pinkette sighed while Sasuke growled.
The hidden female Senju remained quiet before looked annoyed as well.
…My Line…
"They should pass," Obito stated. "I mean, they did actually work together in the end."
"That is true, but it is still up to Kakashi," Minato stated.
The Hatake looked at the four on the screen and felt a bit of pride, however, he couldn't help, but wonder why the pinkette wasn't with Team Kakashi when they had been here during the first four episodes.
…My Line…
"Unbelievable," Iruka sighed. "Kakashi has never passed a single student. He fails all of them."
"Iruka, this group is young," the Sarutobi stated. "Even I cannot say if it is good for them to face the rigger's dangers of ninja life. However, Kakashi was correct about all those he failed."
The Umino looked at the book in thought.
...My Line...
"Well, damn," Jiraiya breathed in shock.
"Did Bakashi just fail those teams because they didn't follow the rules?" Obito asked.
This got him a glare from the Hatake while Rin and Minato just shook their heads.
...My Line...
The three pre-teens and lone teen followed him over to the stumps where they took a seat while he stood in front of them.
"Now about this exercise," Kakashi spoke up once they were seating. "Well, I've decided on not sending any of you back to academy."
"Then does that the four of us…" Naruto trailed off.
"Pass," the silver hair male finished for him.
Sasuke smirked while the pinkette cheered and the cousins looked smugged.
"Told you so," Naruto sung.
"Yes, you showed that you can put aside your utter dislike for each other to work towards a signal goal," the Jonin told them. "And because of that you pass this test and are now Squad 7."
"But, what about the bells?" Sakura asked confused.
Kakashi let out a sigh while shaking his head.
"This test wasn't about the bells, but about seeing if you can work together as a team," he answered.
'Hold on a moment?' the pinkette thought before she looked at the Jonin. "There is something that I don't get about this test."
"Oh?"
"You sit it up with four people and only three bells," she started. "But, if the alarm didn't ring when it did as we did get the bells…even I can tell that it is a childish dream…then only three of us could keep them and that would lead to group conflict along with the squad breaking up."
"That is exactly right," the Hatake agreed with her. "I had purposely pitted you four against each other."
"Huh?"
...My Line...
"Huh?"
"Why?"
"So, he failed all those teams because they didn't use TEAMWORK!"
...My Line...
"I had to know if you could overcome that and put the squad ahead of yourselves," the silver hair male continued. "After all, a Genin should have a natural feel for teamwork. However, at the start two of you worked on your own. Sakura, you obsessed about Sasuke, who was gone, while Naruto was right in front of you, and you didn't even lift a finger to help him…and you, Sasuke, you felt that Naruto, Raika, and Sakura were so far beneath you that you thought that they were worthless. While you, Raika have a habit of remaining back to analyze an opponent before jumping in when a teammate is in trouble. And Naruto, you tend to do everything on your own unless Raika gets involved. That is arrogance at its highest level. A Ninja's missions are carried out in squads, and while you will need individual skills…teamwork, however, is the most essential element. Every shinobi understand this seeing as teamwork is what this village was built on. When individuals put themselves above the squad this can lead to failure...and death. For example…" Kakashi vanished from his place before returning with a kunai and put it to Sasuke's neck. "Sakura kill Naruto now or Sasuke dies!"
Sakura freaked out though she looked like she would do it while Naruto looked back and forth. However, the greenette appeared behind the Jonin with a tantō to his own throat having used the Shunshin to get behind him.
"How's this for an example?" Raika asked with a very tiger like growl. "You make one more to harm Naruto or the others and I will remove your head."
This got a small smile from the Hatake as he put the kunai way making the green hair Genin to return to her spot.
"That's what happens on a mission," the Jonin stated. "After all, you just say how quick Raika reacted to the station."
"That was a close one," Sakura said in relief.
"If the enemy takes a hostage and you've got an impossible choice which will almost always end up with someone dying," the silver hair Jonin told them. "On every mission your life is on the line." She walked up to a stone. "Did you look at this stone? The names engraved on it? They are all ninjas who are honored in our village."
"That's it!" Naruto yelled. "That's it! I decided I will have my name engraved on that stone! I'm not gonna live and die like a dog. I'm gonna be a hero! Ya know!"
"I sure as hope to hell that you don't end up on this stone, Naruto," Raika growled as she turned to glare at the blonde.
...My Line...
"You tell him, Raika!" Kushina cheered.
"I would bring him back just to kill him, myself," Tsunade added.
Minato actually looked worried for his son as he looked between his wife and mother.
...My Line...
"They're a special kind of hero," Kakashi stated. "They are all KIA."
"Ohhh, that sounds really cool."
"Uh…Naruto…It means killed in action," Sakura told him softly. "They all died."
"Oh," Naruto said sadly.
"And if you end up on that stone then I will find a way to revive you just to kill you, myself," the Miran added as she glared at the Uzumaki. "You got that!?"
The blonde nodded his head really fast while the rest all looked at her in fear.
"This is a memorial stone," Kakashi went on. "The names of my closest friends are engraved here. In the ninja world those, who break the rules are scum, but those, who abandon their friends, are lower than scum." Kakashi stood up straight given them a thumbs up. "So squad 7 will begin our first mission tomorrow." The greenette place pulled two bentos as Kakashi added out the three that he had with him. "Now eat up."
"Yes, Sensei," the three of them agreed.
"You as well, Hatake," Raika stated as she handed him one of the bentos while keeping the other to herself.
The silver hair Jonin blinked a few times before looking at the bento in thought.
"Thanks," he thanked her as he opened it.
The Miran nodded her head as the other three Genin took their own bentos, opened them, and started to eat while their squad leader did the same.
...My Line...
"Now that is a team bonding moment," Hiruzen said with a nod.
"I agree," Fugaku seconded. "It will do them well in the future to have a good bond."
…My Line…
"I'm leaving now," Iruka told the Sandaime as he stood at the door.
"Iruka, listen to me…"
"Huh?"
"Wither they pass or fail, you must not blame Kakashi," Hiruzen told him.
"Right," he agreed as he bowed.
...My Line...
Obito snorted in amusement while Rin giggled as Kakashi looked a bit worried.
...My Line...
"Lets' go home," Kakashi told them as he walked off.
All four of them moved to follow him as they left the training grounds.
...My Line...
The screen turned black just as Obito shot up from his seat and took off running.
"Where are you going, Obito!?" Rin asked.
"To much tea!" he called out. "Need to use the restroom!"
This made the group all blink before they started to laugh in amusement.
