Chapter 2 - Team

Yawing, the young genin who's age has remained a mystery as well as everything else sat up form his comfortable bed and made his way towards the bathroom. After having his regular morning shower he made into the kitchen and made breakfast. Lifting his head up from his delicious meal he looked at the clock across form him. It read 10:30.

'Wasn't the exam around 8 or something?'

"More like 7."

'Why didn't you wake me up?'

"I'm not you're mother."

'You're still holding a grudge over last nights game aren't you?'

"Whatever. You should hurry."

'If they waited for 3 and a half hrs they can some more time.'

"Talk about ignoring your responsibilities."

'I really don't care and I really don't have any responsibilities seeing that I am not a genin yet.'

"True"

'And besides if they didn't want to wait any more they should have come and get me.'

Closing the link Naruto went back to his ramen.

'Heaven, the pure sweet bliss of Ramen. the heavenly aroma that so bl-'

Deep inside the mind of this expert mercenary laid a beast far above human imagination. There he was in all his all mighty glory sweat dropping. Let us probe into this wondrous mind of this beast.

'And this is the almighty Fallen. The dark angel of death and destruction.'

30 minutes after his precious ramen was all finished he finally made his way towards the training ground. There in far view he made out three shadowed figures. Walking toward the unidentified figures he made it out to be two males and one female.

"Seeing as Naruto has decide to join us we will start the exam." Kakashi calmly stated as both Sasuke and Sakure glared at Naruto causing Naruto to yawn.

"Ok…" He said as he placed a timer on a stump and pulled out two bells, "You have until 1 to get a bell from me. Those who get a bell will be the ones who stay. Anyone who doesn't receive a bell will be sent back to the academy. And finally if you don't come at me with the intent to kill or you won't get the bell." He said in a nonchalant manner as he looked a the three genin in front of him.

The duo tensed at this sudden revelation. Sakura was the one that spoke "Wait! So only two of us will pass?"

Kakashi smiled, "Of course not only two of you have the chance to pass. If none of you get a bell from me by the time the alarm rings well all of you will go back to the academy"

'I might get separated from Sasuke-kun!' Thought a distressed Sakura

'What the hell is the point of putting us in a three man cell then! If they're just going to separate us! Dam it! I can't be sent back to the Academy. Not if I'm ever going to kill THAT man!' Thought an irritated Sasuke.

'NOoo!! Karen don't you die on me. I have money riding on you. Live fool LIVE!' thought a stressed out Naruto as he gracefully looked up form his book. The sight that greeted him was a nervous Sakura, a tense Sasuke who was trying to hide it but failing miserably and a smirking Kakashi. 'Nothing new' going back to his novel which was getting better and better by the second. Sensing eyes on him he looked up once again meeting the eyes of the other three.

"Honestly brat I dare not think of all the mess you would be without my guidance."

'Fine, then leave.'

"Ignorant ningen"

'Not with you here.'

"Fine"

"The clock is ticking." said Kakashi as his eye curved in a "U like fashion. The teens quickly jumped from the field, and into the trees. Finding a nice view of the other two and good enough to hide form sight he withdrew his scent and chakra presence to that of an ant. Making himself comfortable he waited for the show to start.

And just in time too Kakashi had just started his genjutsu test on Sakura.

Sakura was a little on edge. She wondered if there sensei had caught anyone yet.

"Sakura...", she heard wounded voice say. She hurried towards the voice seeing as it sounded familiar.'Sasuke-kun!' Sakura quickly started crawling towards the voice. After she exited the bushes she saw something that made her heart stop. Sasuke was there, impaled with kunai and shurikan. He was bleeding

"Sakura"

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!", screamed the girl before passing out.

Up in the trees, "Hmmm? maybe that was a little to far. Oh well can't say it wasn't entertaining." He jumped back into the clearing, book in his hand. Suddenly he heard something coming from behind him.

Shurikans.

Kakashi quickly sidestepped them. However, the shurikan cut a string that was behind Kakashi, triggering a trap. A giant log was launched from the trees. Going directly at the jounin. He quickly sidestepped it as well. He turned around just in time to see Sasuke throw a punch, which was blocked. Sasuke then did a back flip, kicking Kakashi at the same time, which was also block. Using this opportunity, Sasuke made a grab for the bells, Kakashi quickly jumped back though. 'He's stronger than most. I might not get a chance to read Icha Icha.'

Inner Kakashi pouted 'It was getting to he good part too!'

"Damn it! So close!" Sasuke started doing hand seals.

"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu (Fire Release: Grand Fireball Technique)" Sasuke breathed out a fireball, scorching the area that Kakashi was in. When he was finished he noticed that the area where the jounin stood there was a burnt log. "Damn it."

Suddenly a hand grabbed on of Sasuke's legs and pulled him under. He was pulled until he was buried up to his neck.

Kakashi appeared before him.

Kakashi walked away from Sasuke and jumped into the trees leaving the Uchiha seething. Suddenly Sakura ran into the training field. She immediately noticed Sasuke or 'Sasuke's dismembered head'. 'The head' blinked a few times at the girl. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

From his spot in the forest, 'What the hell is she screaming about this time?'

If Naruto had not train in the art of hidden emotions he would at this point in time be on the forest floor laughing his head off.

"I have to say that was one of the most entreating display i ever seen."

'Finished sulking'

"I do not sulk."

'Sure you don't. You just go to the end of your cage and emit a dark aura.'

"Anyway are you going to fight or just read."

'Ultimate way to decide. It's your turn.'

"Heads - you fight."

'Okay'

And so the coin was flipped. Once in the ground Naruto picked up seeing he has apposible thumbs. 'Tails Kyuubi.'

"I'm taking a nap."

'Goodnight'

About thirty-five minutes later Sasuke managed to dig himself out. Just in time for Sakura to wake up. "Sasuke-kun! Your alright!"

"I'm far from alright. I was so close to getting a bell" Sasuke said as he jumped into the trees.

"Wait! Sasuke-kun!" She was about to jump after him when she spotted something shining in the corner. "Is that a bell? He must've dropped it!" Sakura ran to get the bell thinking she might finally get the chance to get Sasuke to fall in love with her. However she was suddenly raised high into the air when her foot was caught in a rope. "AAAAAHHHHHH!"

"Sakura, if it's obviously a trap don't pick anything up " Kakashi said with a bored expression, as he picked up the bell. He looked back up at Sakura, "You must look underneath the underneath" He said not hidden his disappointed voice at the best female student who was also supposed to be the smartest.

Suddenly the alarm rang. 'Damn it!'

He quickly tied Sakura to a poll as teh other two genin came out.

"I'm proud to say that none of you will be going back to the academy" the duo meaning Sakura and Sasuke smiled at this, "instead you should just quit being ninja."

"WHAT!", screamed Sakura. While Sasuke looked angry. Naruto himself was inside the world of his book.

"You don't have what it takes to become ninja. Tell me what is the point of being put in a three man squad "

Naruto answered not even bothering to look up form his book "Team work"

Sasuke's eyes widened, "The bells were meant to throw us off ... "

"Hai. Sasuke you think the other two will hold you back so you don't bother working with them. Sakura you were to busy worrying about Sasuke to think about anything else and Naruto you didn't even attempt to get bell why is that?"

Naruto looked up from his book and responded "It would have been pointless to go after the bells seeing the objective of team was to work as one. For what I observed since I entered the academy yesterday it would been a fruitless effort on my part to go after them. Haruno-san only care about Uhicha and nothing else, she would have ignored my saying in favor off the Uhicha. Uhicha himself has an arrogant attitude who would ignore anything I would have said. For myself I simply didn't feel to waste valuable energy on fruitless attempts."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes. 'So he knew all along. Interesting, and he knew he had a better chance to hide his skills instead of wasting it were he would have ended up failing anyway'

Looking back at Naruto he saw him reading again. 'That's really starting to get annoying.'

"In the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum but those who abandon their teammates are worse and scum." He went to a slab of stone on the ground. "This stone contains the names of the ninja of Konahagakure. The ones that fell in battle." Kakashi lowered his head for a moment "I'm going to give you one last shot. You two can eat the lunches I brought" he said pointing to Sasuke and Naruto, "But Sakura doesn't get any if either of you feed her you fail. I make the rules remember that." With that Kakashi disappeared.

Naruto stood up book in hand and walked over behind Sakura. Taking a kunai with his left hand, eyes never leaving the book he cut the rope. "Eat up, you are of no use if you don't eat."

He sat on the ground next to the stump reading once again. Sasuke held up his bento to her "Just eat something. We're going to need you to help us and your going to need to be at full strength"

Sakura started tearing up "Sasuke-kun, Naruto"

Suddenly the three heard an explosion appear in front of them, "WHAT DID I TELL YOU! I TOLD YOU NOT TO FEED HER!"

Sasuke's eyes widened a bit but soon it turned into a smirk, "Since we disobeyed your rules, it means that we are scum"

Sakura, still teary spoke in a confident voice "But those who abandon their teammates are worse than scum"

Naruto spoke in a bored voice "We're after all a team. We help each other out and so on."

Lightning start flashing across the sky, and dark clouds started spreading but just as quickly they all disappeared to reveal the sunny sky, "You all pass"

Sasuke smirked while Sakura was on the brink of tears and Naruto just looked indifferent and continued reading.

"Team 7 begins its first mission tomorrow"

Leaving the training grounds Naruto looked back. "Peaceful"

'Well stay for now until we get bored then well leave once again as always.'

"After all we belong to no village."

A/N Sorry for all the time I took
