Summary: Naruto's 6 years old, his caretaker, Iruka, was killed by bandits, and he was left orphaned. Well, until a mysterious wanderer appeared...
A/n: I'm not an avid Sakura hater, I just feel the need to not like her greatly. :) Thank you guys soo much! All the positivity in these reviews boost my confidence! (Meant mostly for mm.org, Tonfa ppl, and a few ff.net ppl.)
Chapter Six: Examination
::5:00am, Training Field 7::
"Ugh! Where is he? It's freezing out here!" Sakura gripes, shivering and pulling her pink jacket closer to her body in a futile effort to retain heat. "Baka sensei!"
Naruto and Sasuke sigh simultaneously, mentally and physically. Kyuubi just snickers.
::One hour later...::
*What is with this guy?* though Naruto to himself, almost somewhat miffed.
'No need to get angry Naru-chan, go through a few of your katas atop one of those poles there.'
Naruto, looks over to see the poles, sensing the truth behind Kyuubi's words as he jumps up to balance on one and practice some katas.
Meanwhile, the still shivering Sakura couldn't stand show-offy people like she thought Naruto to be. Especially when they acted like they were better than 'her' Sasuke-kun.
*Cha! I'll show this baka kid a thing or two, he can't deserve to live if Daddy tried to kill him!*
Sasuke sits silently on the ground, watching Naruto go through the different katas for his attained style.
*This kid, he intrigues me alot. I wonder why he doesn't speak, could he be a mute? Or does he just not want to talk?* he thinks, looking up and catching Naruto's eye for a second, realization dawning upon him. *His eyes...they're blank...like he has no will anymore...*
It was from that day that Uchiha Sasuke vowed to do one more thing as well as his goal of killing Itachi, he vowed to befriend Naruto, and find out why he had such lifeless eyes.
::One more hour later...::
“Yo,” Kakashi said, poofing into the area.
“You’re late!” Sakura shouts angrily, standing up and still shivering.
“Well you see, a black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long way...” he replies, nose buried in his little orange book .
“LIAR!” she shouts, rubbing her arms to bring some feeling back into them.
“Anyway,” Kakashi says, rolling his hidden eye slightly in annoyance as he places a clock on the pole beside Naruto. “You have until this clock chimes to take a bell from me." he holds up two bells, jingling them. "Otherwise you fail and you'll never be allowed to become ninja.”
A collective look of shock goes around the group, Sakura gasps loudly.
“B-but sensei, there are only two bells and this isn't fair either way! You're a jounin, how are we supposed to get those bells from you?!” said Sakura.
“In battle nothing is 'fair' pinky. Besides, 'one' of you will fail no matter what, and just because I'm a jounin doesn't mean I'm undefeatable.” Kakashi states, his one visible eye crinkling up in a smile. “You have until noon, use any weapons ou deem necessary to bring me down and get the bells, if you aren't prepared to kill me then you won't get a bell. Ready? Go.” Then he vanished, Naruto sits down cross-legged atop his pole to think for a bit. Sakura scoffs, going off on her own, but Sasuke stays, looking up to Naruto for an explanation.
//What do you want Uchiha?// he asks mentally, looking down at the now stunned black haired boy.
"That you Naruto?" he asks, trying to confirm the fact that he isn't crazy and hearing thngs.
Naruto shakes his head and rolls his eyes.
//No it is Halle Berry, of course it is me you teme.//
Sasuke frowns, glaring up at the demon carrier.
//What do you want anyway? It is not like you are going to attempt to complete the exercise as need be.//
"I thought that maybe if we work together we'd have a better chance of getting those bells." he replies, snorting at Naruto's comment.
Naruto raises an eyebrow, surprised the boy has figured it out so quickly.
'Maybe he isn't as arrogant as we first thought.'
*I suppose not.*
//Alright you teme, what's the plan?//
Naruto and Sasuke head off together, eventually finding Sakura unconscious under a tree because of a simple genjutsu.
"Hey, wake up Sakura." Sasuke says, slapping her face lightly.
//Move.// Naruto tells him, forming two quick handseals as Sasuke hurries out of the way, never seeing the rat and monkey handseals used like that before . //Water Ball Jutsu.//
A perfectly shaped orb of water forms above Sakura's face, plopping down onto her face with a wet 'smack'.
Sakura jerks awake, sputtering angrily.
"What was that?!" she asks, looking around, her eyes alighting on Sasuke immediately. "Oh Sasuke-kun! I thought you were dead!"
She starts crying, hugging him. Sasuke frowns, pulling out of her grip.
"Pull yourself together, we've got to get those bells."
Sakura's eyes shine merrily.
"Of course, anything for you Sasuke-kun!"
Naruto growls mentally, rolling his eyes upward.
//Come on, we do not have any time for this, we have to get those bells. Now we only have an hour and a half left at most.This 'test' is a trick to divide us, and we are supposed to work together.//
Sakura thinks on it before she reluctantly agrees.
"Fine." she spat down at his feet, not even noticing his use of telepathy, she just thought he was talking normally. Although she couldn't figure out why his voice sounded so much like an animal's. "What do we do then?"
Naruto narrows his eyes at the pink-haired girl, resisting the urge to haul her up by her collar and slap some sense into her.
Sasuke goes over the plan once more for Sakura, also resisting the urge to hurt her for being so rude. Not that she noticed.
"We'll sneak up on him here," Sasuke says, drawing a crude diagram in the dirt with a stick. "Naruto will cast a Genjutsu while we create a diversion."
Sakura nods, Naruto nodding as well and they all disappear from sight.
Meanwhile...
Kakashi was leaning against a tree. It was a nice day, he surmised. The grass was green, the birds were singing, the water was sparkling with gentle dashes of lovely sunlight, and then a blast of shuriken came out of nowhere to knock him off his feet.
"Unh!" he grunts, a poof of smoke revealing that he has used an utusemi jutsu or substitution jutsu. He appears behind Sasuke and Sakura, tsking. "Very sloppy you three, I thought you could do better than-wait, where's Naruto?"
Suddenly Kakashi goes stockstill, a sign that the Genjutsu is taking effect, and the two in front of him quickly snatch the bells from his belt. He doesn't notice, his knees buckling underneath him as he sinks to the ground shaking uncontrollably.
"Obito..." he murmurs, the word flowing past his lips before Naruto comes up, releasing the jutsu. He scribbles something down on his chalkboard and holds it in front of him.
'You are okay I would think Kakashi-sensei?'
Kakashi nods, shaking his head to clear his mind of the unstable memories, and seeming to be aware of the missing bells.
"Very well, you all pass." he says, his eye crinkling up a bit. "Sakura, Sasuke, do what you will, but report at the bridge tommorrow at 7:00am. Naruto, can I...talk to you for a second?"
Naruto nods, Sakura sneering at him, flouncing off behind Sasuke as said boy throws a subtle look of worry at Naruto before turning around and heading into town.
Kakashi waits until he knows they are out of hearing range and looks at Naruto.
"What was that Genjutsu you used? I've never experienced anything like that, it's terrible."
Naruto scribbles something down on his chalkboard, handing it to Kakashi.
'Kaa-san calls it 'Fire Element: Undead Silence', what I used was the first phase. She taught me the second phase after exams. It's supposed to make you relive the worst memories of your life in first phase, and in second I don't know yet. There are four phases, one for each element, but I don't know all the effects.'
Kakashi nods, telling him he can leave now, Naruto nods, going off down the road to his home.
*If he knows things like that, he'll be a great ally, but I would never want him as an enemy...* he thinks, shivering as he watches the boy fade from sight.
