[A/N: Alright so people have been wondering why I made the teams Canon, I'm looking at you Archer Chef. Well I have something planned for Sakura after the wave arc, oh it's the same plan for why I put a random civilian in Rin's team and not a named character. It's all part of the plan, yes I have a plan.

Also remember when I said that dreams and Flashbacks will be told by the dreamer/character, certain Flashbacks won't be like that.

These flashbacks are the "How did it come to this?" type of flashback, where you enter the story at a random time where nothing makes sense and so the story almost immediately has a flashback to explain the situation.

Anyways roll the disclaimer]

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Fate stay night, I'm just a fan.

It was the day after the team selection, and Naruto and Sasuke were at TG7 (training ground 7) having a spar while they waited for Sakura, ... and Kakashi of course.

Sasuke charge Naruto with his Chokuto, who in turn blocked the charge with his two short swords.

The spar rules were simple, first blood = winner, no chakra allowed just skill.

But dispite the handicap the two were fighting like they were planning to kill the other. Each attack was ruthless and well calculated.

However the spar had been going on for more than 30 minutes, and Naruto decided that it was time to end it.

Sasuke slashed at Naruto's head with a vertical slash. Naruto blocked it with both swords and then pushed Sasuke away to create some distance.

Naruto and Sasuke stared at each other from their sides of the field.

Sasuke kept his eyes on Naruto, the entire time.

Naruto decided it was time to use something he'd been working on in private.

Naruto shifted his stance, and raised his arms so that they cross over his chest, but he kept the swords pointed to the sky.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the sudden change, not just because of how odd it looked, but because of the many, many openings in the lower body and core that Naruto just presented.

Sasuke figured that Naruto had created a technique that had a side-effect of the openings. Sasuke figured it would be best to take out Naruto before he could attempt the attack, and charged.

Sasuke slashed at Naruto's stomach.

Time seemed to slow down and Naruto brought his left blade to meet Sasuke's, sparks flew as steel ground against steel.

What happened after was nothing short of amazing, especially to Sakura who had arrived when Naruto changed his stance.

Naruto attacked with an endless amount of combos, each Sasuke struggled to block, but he did block them.

Sasuke ducked down to kick at Naruto's leg but Naruto the slammed both of his swords into the ground. Sasuke had to jump away to escape the attack, when he jumped he landed on a tree branch he kicked off it, sending him flying at Naruto who hadn't recovered from his own onslaught.

Steel flashed in the air, and Sasuke rolled on the ground, back to his feet.

The air stilled.

Sakura stared in awe.

Sasuke checked his sword and saw blood.

Naruto turned to him with a laugh.

"Well Sasuke it looks like you win this round." Naruto said.

Sasuke looked at him and saw a cut on his cheek.

"I guess so." Sasuke said as he wiped the blood from his blade and sheathed it.

Sakura decided to be her fangirl self. "Yeah!! Go Sasuke I knew you would beat him, there's no way that baka could ever beat you Sasuke!!"

Sasuke and Naruto ignored her and continued to talk.

"So we're about tied now aren't we?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, the score's 72/72." Sasuke said.

"Yeah go Sasuke!!!!" Sakura continued to cheer, oblivious to the conversation.

A tick mark appeared on Sasuke's head, he was getting annoyed.

Naruto noticed, and decided to help him out, before he loses it.

"Hey Sakura..." Naruto said.

"What do you want!?" Sakura yelled at him, which made Sasuke even more annoyed, judging by the fact that the tick mark grew in size.

"Could you please be quiet, Sasuke woke up with a headache this morning." Naruto said, which wasn't a complete lie, Sasuke did wake up with a headache, but it was gone once he took a shower, because he found the water drumming on his aching head to be a bit soothing.

But Sakura didn't know about that last part.

"Oh... Sorry Sasuke..." Sakura apologized.

"Hn..." Sasuke grunted, as he went along with the story by rubbing his temples.

"Well well, it seems that you three have been busy." A voice said from behind them.

"Sasuke..." Naruto said, not turning to face the voice.

"Yeah?" Sasuke asked.

"What time is it?" Naruto asked.

"6:38." Sasuke answered.

"B-but if it's 6:38... then that means..." Naruto muttered.

"No way!" Sasuke said.

Naruto and Sasuke turned to face the voice, to see that it's Kakashi.

"YOU'RE LATE!" Sakura shouted.

"YOU'RE EARLY!?" Naruto and Sasuke shouted in surprise.

"Hehehe, yeah. I would have been later but a demoness said she'd take my soul if I'm late." Kakashi explained.

"That's the dumbest lie I've ever heard!" Sakura shouted.

"Ah so Mom threatened to take your book if you don't be early." Naruto said.

"Few..., at least we know the world isn't ending." Sasuke said.

Sakura sweatdropped at the duo.

"Oh come on I'm not that bad am I?" Kakashi chuckled.

Naruto and Sasuke deadpanned at the man.

This time it was Kakashi's turn to sweatdrop.

"Ya know... you two act so much like brothers that it's scary." Kakashi said.

"Thank you." the two said in unison.

Kakashi sweatdropped again.

"And a little creepy..."

"We'll take that as a compliment." They said, once more in unison.

"Stop that..." Kakashi deadpanned.

"Stop what?" They said, in unison.

"Ok seriously stop so we can get to the test."

That shut them up, but they winked to each other, with smirks on their faces.

"...Good. Alright so the test is..." Kakashi started as he reached into his pouch and pulled out an alarm clock, which he set on a tree stump nearby.

"You have to grab these little bells, and take them from me, before the time runs out." Kakashi said as he held up said bells.

"Ok!" Sakura said, having heard something different, went up to Sasuke and grabbed his balls.

"Hey!" Sasuke shouted.

"Sakura I said BELLS, and I said ME!" Kakashi shouted at the girl.

"Whoops sorry!" Sakura said.

"Well now I'm scarred for life." Sasuke muttered. [1]

"More than you already are?" Naruto asked.

"... yes." Sasuke said with a nod.

"OK then." Naruto chuckled.

"Alright now that I've explained the test, allow me to give you some advice..." Kakashi began.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura leaned in to hear his words of wisdom.

"... come at me with the intent to kill." Kakashi finished.

Naruto and Sasuke nodded, although Sakura was a bit reluctant.

"But Sensei, what if you get hurt?" Sakura asked.

Naruto and Sasuke facefaulted when they heard her ask her dumbest question yet.

Kakashi chuckled, and said with an eye smile.

"It's sweet of you to be worried about me but..."

His eye sharpened, it looked like the eye of a hardened soldier.

"I won't be the one getting hurt." Kakashi finished with a very small amout of Killer Intent (KI)

Sakura eeped and looked away from Kakashi, the KI and the look in his eye made Sakura feel very intimidated.

"Oh and another thing... the one who does not get a bell will be sent back to the academy, and will be tied to a log and forced to watch as the others eat the delicious food that Naruto made for us." Kakashi said with a eye smile.

"So that's why he didn't want us to eat breakfast." The three thought.

But dispite that, only one stomach was heard, and that was Sakura.

"Hmm, so they ate, well 2 out of 3 did anyways." Kakashi thought.

"Good luck!" Kakashi said as he started the timer, and with that the 3 took off, and the only one in the clearing was Kakashi.

With Naruto

Naruto looked from his perch in the treetops.

Kakashi hadn't moved at all, he just sat under a tree in the clearing, reading his orange book.

Naruto knew that he was up to something. And so did one of the others in the forest, if the flying shuriken headed straight for Kakashi meant anything.

Unfortunately when they made contact with their Jonin Sensei he went up in a poof of smoke.

"A shadow clone!" Naruto had been watching a shadow clone this entire time.

"*psst* hey Naruto..."

Naruto froze and slowly turned to see that Kakashi was right behind him with an eye smile on his face.

"...Shit." Naruto cursed before he was launched into the air by the most deadly taijutsu move in existence.

The Thousand years of death, a glorified ass-poke.

Kakashi stared at Naruto's twitching form and sighed.

"Naruto you need to work on your awareness of your surroundings. If this was a real battle in a war you would be dead." Kakashi lectured with his visible eye closed and his right hand index finger pointed upward.

But he was interrupted by a poof.

He looked and saw that there was no Naruto, and no log to signify a substitution jutsu was used. That means...

"He also used a shadow clone... huh." Kakashi sighed.

With the real Naruto.

Naruto jumped through the treeline, using the tree branches as springboards.

"Gotta find Sasuke... oh and Sakura I guess." He muttered to himself.

He stopped moving when he heard a highpitched scream, from the east.

"well there's Sakura, what about Sasuke... well since I already know where Sakura is I guess I'll go get her, and let Sasuke have his turn against Kakashi." Naruto continued to talk to himself.

After he finished talking he took off towards Sakura's scream.

He found her passed out against a tree, her eyes weren't fully closed though. they were half lidded and glassed over.

"Genjutsu huh..." Naruto muttered, in annoyance.

Naruto hated genjutsu, he couldn't use it at all and any time he tried he ended up either with no results or he would accidentally use it on himself along with the target, even his parents don't know how he cast it on himself.

But luckily he could dispell it, he had to learn so he could break out of his own illusions.

Naruto placed his hand on Sakura's shoulder and released the genjutsu.

She woke with a jolt, and a scream of "Sasuke-kun!"

"Nope, he's fighting Kakashi right now. But I came to get you so we could help him." Naruto smirked.

"Hmph! Shows what you know! Sasuke-kun doesn't need any help fighting that lazy excuse of a Jonin." Sakura sniffed

Naruto narrowed his eyes into a glare.

"Sakura..." Naruto said his voice low, which caught the girl's attention.

She turned to look at Naruto and paled at his glare, it was like steel.

"That man... has lost more than you know, he's not lazy, he acts laid back to hide the amount of pain he's had to go through. Behind that mask of laziness is a man who has gone through war and fought death and come out on top, at the cost of many of those he cared for. I will not stand for any insult to Kakashi whatsoever, no matter if they're a simple beggar or the gods themselves. Do you understand me!" Naruto growled out.

Sakura stared at Naruto... then nodded.

"Good." Naruto then smiled. "Then let's go help out Sasuke."

"R-right." Sakura stuttered.

They then walked off to find Sasuke.

Of course neither of the two realized that this moment would be one of the reasons Sakura would become stronger in the future.

Another thing they didn't realize was that a Kakashi clone was listening in on the conversation, and was touched by his speech.

"... Naruto, to think you thought so highly of me." Kakashi muttered, "I'll be sure not to let you down..."

The clone then dispelled with a poof of smoke.

Earlier with Sasuke.

Sasuke hid in the treelines as he observed Kakashi who was just sitting there reading.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, he knew Kakashi was up to something, so he decided test the waters a bit, Sasuke created a shadow clone, he learned it during his training, but he could only make two per day.

He sent his clone to the other side of the forest, where he knew Naruto was, and had it send out a flurry of shuriken, which hit Kakashi and made him go up in a poof of smoke.

"A shadow clone... I figured." Sasuke muttered.

Sasuke jumped from his perch and began to look for Naruto, this was a team exercise after all and the two were a great team.

It was best Sasuke and Naruto team up, and maybe give Sakura points for participation... maybe.

Sasuke sighed and wished his sister was his teammate instead of the fangirl, who he heard scream just now.

Sasuke suddenly felt a presence coming closer to him, and quickly jumped back, just in time too, as a lightning covered Shuriken impacted the ground.

"What the hell Kakashi! You trying to kill me." Sasuke said.

"Maa maa Sasuke, I knew you would dodge that, I did train you after all." Kakashi said with an eye smile.

"Tch!" Sasuke clicked his teeth, as he unsheathed his Chokuto, and held it in his usual reverse grip.

Kakashi was about to say something, but he paused a second, Sasuke knows that pause, it was the "influx of info from a shadow clone" pause, meaning he sent a clone after Naruto or Sakura and it was dispersed.

Kakashi breaks out of his pause and looks at Sasuke with a slight fire in his eye.

"Hmm, oh Sasuke! How about a battle of swords? Your chokuto against my White Fang? I finally decided to get it repaired." Kakashi said.

Sasuke rose an eyebrow, he knew Kakashi was a former sword user, he had taught Sasuke a bit after all, but he didn't think Kakashi would ever repair his father's former sword.

"Fine by me... I've been wanting to see the blade of the legendary white fang." Sasuke said with narrowed eyes.

Kakashi chuckled and formed a one handed tiger seal and a puff of smoke came from behind his right shoulder.

An tanto was now attached to Kakashi's back via a black sheath.

Kakashi grabbed the handle and unsheathed the blade revealing it to be pure white, like snow.

Sasuke had to admit it was a beautiful blade, but now wasn't the time.

"Here I come Sasuke..." Kakashi said as he resheathed the blade and crouched low on the ground, one hand on the ground, the other on the sheathed tanto.

Sasuke rose an eyebrow at the unusual stance, but got ready all the same.

Kakashi leaped at Sasuke at speeds he couldn't track.

"Shit!" Sasuke cursed as he barely blocked the overhead strike from Kakashi.

Kakashi kept attacking Sasuke with his tanto, never allowing Sasuke to counter attack.

Sasuke even had to use his Sharingan on him in order to keep up with Kakashi's speed.

When Kakashi was training him he was never this fierce on him, he was like a man possessed.

"What the hell is up with Kakashi today, first he's early... but he was threatened so I can get why that happened, but he suddenly got more serious after that clone of his dispelled, what happened with that clone to make him like this? ...oh... wait Naruto probably happened." Sasuke thought then realized as he continued to block Kakashi's sword.

Suddenly several shuriken came at Kakashi from all sides, which caused him to jump back.

Naruto jumped out of the treeline, swords in hand.

"Naruto!?" shouted Sasuke.

"Sasuke!" Shouted Naruto

"Kakashi!" Kakashi shouted with a hidden grin.

The forest quieted down at Kakashi's shout.

"Kakashi... no." Sasuke said.

"Just ... no." Naruto deadpanned.

"Awww!" Kakashi wilted, before he vanished.

"Shit!" Sasuke said raising his chokuto.

Naruto rose his swords as well, good thing he did too.

Kakashi blurred in front of Naruto, his White Fang in hand, and slashed at the boy, who had a vision of the blades users and history.

Naruto deflected with his left sword and slashed with his right.

Kakashi dodged only for Sasuke to appear above him and attack with his chokuto.

Kakashi barely ducked, and then he spun and kicked Sasuke higher into the air, vanished, and then appeared above Sasuke and axe kicked him into the ground.

Naruto went at Kakashi to give Sasuke time to recover.

The two traded blades for a good few minutes.

Before more shuriken flew out of the woods, in all directions, towards Kakashi.

Naruto jumped back and grinned, sure Kakashi blocked them all, but it means the plan is actually working.

Sasuke recovered and noticed the shuriken.

"Oi... did you actually manage to-" Sasuke was interrupted by Naruto.

"Yep." Naruto said.

"Alright so what now?" Sasuke asked.

"Can you distract him for a bit? The next part takes a second or two, and I need to concentrate." Naruto asked.

"Yeah..." Sasuke said before he rushed off to Kakashi who was still blocking shuriken after shuriken.

Naruto closed his eyes and focused.

"Trace... on."

Soon blue wire like lines appeared on his skin and as soon as they were there they vanished, no matter they had already served their purpose.

"Sasuke I'm ready!" Naruto said before he rushed Kakashi at extreme speeds.

"What!" Kakashi shouted st the sight of Naruto rushing him.

Naruto slashed at Kakashi with his right sword, then his left, all were blocked only for Naruto to stomp and cross his blades, and slash upwards and sidways with both swords, effectively sending Kakashi's sword flyjng upwards, and out of his hands, and knocking him off balance.

Sasuke rushed in and went for the bell, Kakashi not even trying to dodge.

Kakashi smirked inwardly, proud of these two... no these three, he knew Sakura was the one on the trees with the Shuriken, they worked perfectly, Naruto and Sasuke he could understand, but the fact Naruto worked with Sakura and planned according to her strengths, was a sign of a good leader.

"They pass... well done you three." Kakashi thought proud.

Sasuke grabbed the bells and vanished back to Naruto.

Naruto panted as his reinforcement wore off, the effects taking their toll on his body, luckily he managed to do it right, and not explode his body into chunks of shattered bone.

Naruto shivered, that would be very bad.

Anyways.

"Well done you two." Kakashi said.

"Three." Naruto panted.

"Oh?" Kakashi said playing dumb.

"Sakura you can come out now!" Sasuke shouted.

"Ok!!" A certain fangirl shouted as she bolted out of the tree line and toward Sasuke, who hid behind Naruto.

"Now Sasuke... tell me who are you going to give the other bell to?" Kakashi asked.

Sasuke and Naruto loomed at each other and nodded with a smirk.

Sasuke tossed the other bell to Sakura, who caught it.

Naruto then grabbed the bottom of the bell Sasuke had, while said preteen held the string.

"This way we all get the bells Kakashi." Sasuke said.

Kakashi blinked at them... before he burst out laughing.

"Huh?" Sakura asked confused.

"In all my years of both taking and giving this test, there has never been an answer like that!" Kakashi laughed.

"You Pass!" Kakashi smiled at the three.

The three new genin smiled wide and joined Kakashi in his laughter.

After calming down Kakashi looked over the three, as they ate their lunch, with Sakura crying that Naruto could cook better than her.

"Alright listen up, during the mornings, we will be training, but at noon we will do genin rank missions. Understood?" Kakashi said.

The three nod sharply, although Sakura was a bit reluctant.

"Good. Meet me at the TG7 memorial stone tomorrow morning around 7:00 am sharp, and yes I will be there on time." Kakashi said.

"Hai!" The three said before they went to their respective homes.

Kakashi stood there for a few more minutes, before he went to the memorial stone to speak with the "late" Obito.

[A/N: finally done with this chapter, sorry if it's a bit short.

[1] this was a scene from Naruto Abridged, one of them anyways.]

Later!
