A Fated Meeting: Chapter 8: Preliminaries

 

“Why is Kakashi-sensei so late?” Naruto yelled to the top of his lungs.

 

Sakura, thoroughly drained with all of the ruckus, just sighed. Sasuke rolled his eyes.

“Why aren't you guys complaining?! What is wrong with you two?”

 

“Don't you mean, what's wrong with you, Naruto? You've been screaming for over an hour. We're tired of your immature behavior. Now why don't you do us a favor and just shut up!!” Sasuke almost shouted at the blond-haired boy.

 

Naruto abruptly did so, shocked at what his best friend said to him. A moment later, he snapped to his senses and retorted:

 

“Fine then! You might as well also! Don't talk to me anymore!”

 

“Hmph!”

 

“Hmph!”

 

Both boys turned their backs to each other. Sakura sighed once again. `Boys.' The thought rang through her head. She would have yelled at Naruto, just for the heck of it, when they heard a familiar “poof”.

 

“Sensei!” They said at the same time.

 

“Where were you all of this time, Sensei?” Naruto screeched. “You said you had to go to the bathroom, but no one, no one, takes that long to go to the stinkin' bathroom!”

 

“Maa, sorry then Naruto. I had to help a cat get down from a tree on my way back.”

 

Even Sasuke was skeptical about it, and he voiced his opinions.

 

“Really?” he said.

 

“…It was a feisty cat, wild as can be.” Came Kakashi's lame excuse.

The kids just rolled their eyes. At once Kakashi's composure returned.

 

“Now team…I might as well tell you now. Before you can be recognized as true genin, you have to pass a rigorous exam.”

 

“An exam?” they exclaimed.

 

“But, Kakashi-sensei, didn't we already take the text in the academy to become genin?” Sakura questioned.

 

“That's why we got our headbands, isn't it?” Naruto added.

 

“No, that was only the preliminary to see what kids even have the talent to qualify for the test…just to lett you know, there's a 66% fail rate!”

 

“Aww, no fair!” Naruto exclaimed, exasperated.

 

“Yeah, because you're going to fail, loser.” Sasuke said slyly.

 

“Ugg…Teme!”

 

“Well,” Kasashi started again. “Before we even do that, we have to give introductions! I want to know all about you guys.”

 

“What's the point of giving introductions if these other two won't even pass?” Sasuke said, quite sure of himself.

 

“This is just incase you do pass. And if not, I promise I'll always stop bye the academy when I come back from my missions…”

 

“We get sent back to the academy if we fail?” Sakura and Naruto exclaimed, while Sasuke just scoffed.

 

“Of course. I have to get my fun from somewhere…Otherwise; I'd be all frowsy all the time. And you kids wouldn't want that, would you?”

 

“We can't even see your face. It's covered by the mask you're always wearing.” Naruto muttered, and then chuckled.

 

Sakura was surprised. She didn't know Naruto had a sense of humor. After all, he did such stupid stuff every minute, always getting on her last nerve…oh!

 

“Well, let's get to it then! Let's get under that shady part over here. It will be very relaxing…”

 

As they settled themselves leaning against various pine, they turned to face their sensei for further instruction. He just blinked at them.

`He expects us to already know?' Sasuke thought, when Sakura popped the question:

 

“Sensei, how are we supposed to give an introduction of ourselves anyways?”

 

“You know,” he said, counting off on his fingers, “Tell your likes, dislikes, goals, stuff like that…” he droned on.

 

“Sensei, can't you give us an example?” she almost whined, fed up with the whole affair.

 

“Maa…fine then. My name is Hatake Kakashi. I like…stuff. I dislike many things. My goals are not of any importance to you. Now you go blond boy.”

 

“He only gave us his name…” Sakura groaned.

 

“Well…” Naruto began. “My name is Uzumaki Naruto, who will soon be your one and only fifth hokage! I like raman. I dislike the three minutes I have to wait for it to cook. And someday, I want to be the greatest Kage who ever lived!!! Vote for me in the future, thanks.”

 

`Hokage, hmm?' Kakashi pondered.

 

`That's a bunch of trash he spouted out. And obviously Kakashi-sensei's eating every bit of it. Why does he always lie, I wonder? Maybe he's just afraid…yeah, the big scaredy cat. I'm tired of hearing him lie to people. I bet he's even lying to himself…' Sasuke thought.

“Now you next, pink-head.” Kakashi said, indicating to Sakura that it was her turn.

She scowled at the `pink-head' comment, but shook it off and continued.

“My name is Haruno Sakura! I like…” she fades, looking at Sasuke. She tried to pick it up: “My goals are…” she trails off again, looking at Sasuke, drooling. After a whiled, she gathered up her composure and wiped off her mouth. “I dislike…” she turned to Naruto. “Naruto! I just hate him, he's so annoying…” Naruto was crushed.

`Girls nowadays care more about boys than being a true ninja, what a pity…' Kakashi sighed, shaking his head.

“Ok, you next.” He said, motioning to Sasuke.

“Ok. My name's Uchiha Sasuke. My likes and dislikes do not matter. My goal is to get revenge by killing a certain someone…”

“Sasuke-sun's so mysterious!” Sakura said, gushing over Sasuke.

`He's taken up that goal again? But I thought I had made sure that he didn't…whatever went wrong? He's going to dig his nose into the wrong places…' Naruto thought, extremely worried.
