SURVIVAL TEST! TRUE GENIUS VS. EXPERT JOUNIN!

"Lesson 1 of Shinobi battle tactics: Taijutsu."

It felt like hours have passed as the two stared each other down. Kakashi smirked as he reached for his back pouch. He unsnapped the button and lazily grabbed the object inside which appeared to be a small orange book. He opened the book and nonchalantly began reading the contents from where he left off. He skimmed through the pages every once in a while exerting a giggle that seemed to be all too unusual coming from a grown man. Naruto adjusted his forest green goggles and smirked.

"You seem confident, Hatake-sensei."

"Well of course I am." Kakashi stated, not once glancing from the very page he was reading as if not giving Naruto the time of day. Naruto just stood in a nonchalant stance while staring down his jounin sensei, grinning from ear to ear.

"Taking a book out in the middle of a fight, that is rather insulting sensei."

Kakashi didn't bother to look up from the page as he answered Naruto back.

"Rude as it may be, You still wouldn't be able to defeat me even if I was giving you my full attention." Naruto laughed a little at his sensei's response and slowly placed his hands into his hooded jacket pockets. Before pivoting off of his right and walking off away from the open field.

"That is as I expected...I guess there is no point for me to try to initiate a fight." Naruto did a sharky grin and shrugged his shoulders while walking off towards the forest area causing Kakashi to raise an eyebrow along with his other two teammates who hid in their own positions in the trees and bushes.

"And why is that? Don't you want these bells because you need them to pass." Naruto kept his grin displayed on his face and stopped in his tracks. His back facing Kakashi.

"I can safely assume that it is pointless for someone of my skill and stature to try and come face to face with someone of your strength, experience, and hardened technique. I may have confidence in my intelligence but this is not just a battle of brains but a completely different battle that I can not go into by myself. There is a less than 40 percent chance that I could win but trying would make me a fool." Kakashi couldn't help but smirk at the boy's words while Sakura and Sasuke looked on at the scene in pure confusion.

'...What's with that kid?'

"Then again...I can safely say that I became a fool as soon as I decided to comply with life and death and becoming a shinobi. Anyway, watch your back sensei, the test isn't quite over yet hehehheheh." And with that, the blonde boy treaded off into a random area of the woods leaving Kakashi standing in the grassy clearing.

'Well that's a weird one.'

Sasuke was swiftly searching the forest. He was ready challenge Kakashi and get his bell. Unlike his other teammates, he was actually going to do something to past this exam and become a true shinobi of konoha with no weaklings to hold him back. That is until he felt something grab his arm.

"Hey!" Shouted Sasuke as a hooded figure dragged him into the forest.

Before Sasuke could even see who his kidnapper was he could see he was a new area with the unconscious form of a young Haruno Sakura. Sasuke watched as the hooded figure who he had now discovered to be Naruto prodded her with his foot multiple times until she finally she awoke. She took one look at the Uchiha boy and threw herself at him. Sasuke jumped as the girl clung to him like glue. Naruto stared at the scene before him with amusement visible behind his dark lensed goggles.

"Alright you creepy junk otaku, you dragged me here, so what gives?" Asked Sasuke throwing Sakura off of him.

" Well that is quite simple to answer my dear Uchiha friend...to defeat Hatake Kakashi, we must work together..." Said Naruto calmly. Sasuke blinked then grunted with a smug look.

"Tch, like I need your help to beat him." Said Sasuke in his proud tone, standing up and brushing off the leaves and dirt from his clothing.

"Yeah, Sasuke-kun is the rookie of the year, he can do it himself." Shouted Sakura as she stood to her a feet placing her hands onto her hips.

Naruto gave his menacing grin to them both and chuckled.

"Teammates...did you both forget that we are but mere 'Genin' and that he, as a Jounin, outclasses us? It is safe to say that we weren't meant to get the bells, it was just a simple psychological trick to make us fight amongst ourselves. Going after him one on one is foolish if I would say so myself. We need to at least attempt to work together." Said Naruto. Sasuke snorted while Sakura grunted.

"Why should I listen to you? You didn't even fight him, as a matter of fact you are probably weaker than me or the girl considering you ran from the fight."

"Because Kakashi-san has demonstrated that he is more than capable of defeating you, myself and Sakura-imouto...or do you want to go get single handedly humiliated again like I observed him do to you not to long ago."Said Naruto. Sasuke growled a little at the blonde's attack at his pride but soon sighed defeatedly.

"Fine, I'll help you."

"Sakura-imouto?" Asked Naruto hopefully.

"If Sasuke-kun is in, so am I...even if you're kind of creepy." Naruto giggled slightly which went to a mild chuckle which soon went into outright maniacal laughing scaring Sakura half to death and causing Sasuke to start breaking out in cold sweat.

"Yes, excellent...here is the plan..."

Kakashi sat on the vaccant tree stomp waiting for the time be up as it seemed be a good 10 minutes eft until the test was finally over and he could finally fail these poor excuses for shinobi wannabes. He sat down enjoying his little orange back, giggling as he read from page to page until he felt two chakra signatures appear out clearly no where and land 20 feet in front of him.

Kakashi looked up to find both the hooded creepy blonde and the brooding Uchiha standing infront of him trying to look as intimidating as possible, well except Naruto who seemed intimidating as it is.

"Well I guess you guys seemed to have decided to work together although it is kind of too late for that, 7 minutes too late to be exact. Where is Sakura?" Kakashi asked as he stood from his stomp and placed his little orange novel away into his pouch.

Naruto grinned "She was of no use to us, she was quite useless to begin so we as the most powerful of the team decided to abandon her and get the two bells for ourselves..."

Kakashi's eyes narrowed as this causing Sasuke to take a step back a little. Sasuke stared down at his right hand.

"Uchiha-kun, punch my hand with all of your might." Sasuke stared at his creepy teammate as if he had grown a second head.

"Why the you want me to do that?" Naruto grinned at the boy and laughed raspily.

"To see if we can make a knuckle sandwich, just kidding...I want to see how much force that you can pack..." Naruto pulled out a small device that he held in his right hand all the while holding his left hand up waiting for Sasuke to punch.

"This device in my hand measures 'Newtons' which is the unit of measurement for force. I want to know how much force that you can emulate in a matter of seconds so that I can set the plan up accordingly." Sasuke was skeptical for a second but complied as he was been waiting for a reason to punch the blonde in broad daylight even if he was kinda afraid of the blonde's creepy and unpredictable personality. Sakura watched the two boy's wondering what Naruto was really planning.

Sasuke mustered up as much strength as he could and threw his fist as hard as he could into Naruto's left hand. Naruto stepped back a little, grinned and glanced down at the device.

"Hmmm...not bad I would assume. Can you do that all the time Uchiha-kun?" Naruto asked the boy who just scoffed and folded his arms.

"Of course I can..." Sasuke said ignoring Sakura's ego lifting statements. Naruto's grin widened and you could probably see a distant gleam appear behind his goggles.

"...Good..."

Sakura sat under a tree in the forest. Her elbows on her knees and her hands cradling her face. She gazed up at the wire twirling through the tree branches above. She sighed.

"Why do I have to take this role...I know I'm book smart and not that strong but I can at least do something better than this." She muttered to her self. She grew an annoyance for her creepy teammate.

"My cute little Sakura-imouto, why don't you take the role of gopher? You just have to sit near the forest floor and wait, it is less hard work and safe." Naruto stated as he continued to set up his mesh of ninja wire around the tree branches.

"Don't call me that! And why should I be the one to do that! I think I more useful other roles too!" Sakura shouted as placed her hands onto her hips. Naruto grinned up at her.

"Well you can always take Sasuke's role as the bait and take physical abuse from an clearly over powerful jounin that out ranks us in every combat skill or take my role and finish setting up these dangerously sharp wires for me along with becoming the second distraction." Sakura broke out into cold sweat as she could feel the dark presence flowing off of the boy as he chuckled sinisterly. She shook her head crazily in response to both options.

"Sigh...I need to get stronger..." She sighed. A squirrel passed by.

Sasuke was brought out of his thinking when he noticed Kakashi appear behind them and getting ready to strike. Sasuke jumped to his far right dodging the attack while Naruto disappeared in a sprial of bolts and nuts. Kakashi turned his attention to Sasuke and began throwing a fury of shuriken at the Uchiha boy. Sasuke deflected as many as he could with his token kunai and began to dodge and run from the assertive Jounin.

'I just need to keep him chasing me for a while...I hope that Naruto's plan works.'

"Huh too bad, Goggles wimped out and left you behind right? Well I guess betrayal among young people is mutual." Kakashi joked as he sprinted towards Sasuke.

Kakashi kept attacking Sasuke with strong kicks and punches bruising up the boy a good bit and knocking him back a few feet. Sasuke stopped to form a few hand seals.

"Katon: Gokakyuu no Jutsu!" A breath of intensive fire spew from Sasuke's mouth heading towards Kakashi only to be dodge with ease. Sasuke winced as Kakashi appeared to his side and with a kunai in hand ready to attack.

The continued to fight until they were damn near in the woods themselves. Kakashi charged the boy only to be cut by something clearly out of no where. That is...until he looked around and noticed where he was exactly. All around them were nothing but ninja wire...ninja wire everywhere. Kakashi looked around in awe as he stared at the seemingly spiderweb like arrangement of ninja wire. Sasuke smirked but grimaced as he too was grazed by the sharpness of the ninja wire.

' Did he really have to go crazy with this crap?' Sasuke thought only to throw away the thought as he had forgot that the blonde teammate of his was in fact quite crazy. A mad man in the body of a 13 year old adolescent. Sasuke stopped his musing as he noticed Kakashi stand tall to his full length as he stood on an opposite tree branch.

"So...you think a bunch of wire can trap me huh? You kids and your cute ideas. Give me your all before I fail you." Kakashi charged Sasuke once more as he slipped through the ninja wire with pure ease. Sasuke grimaced but quickly shifted to his fighting stance.

'I just need to bring him over to that spot and everything will be settle.'

"And how am I suppose to bait him into chasing me to that exact spot?" Sasuke asked smuggly as he glared at the back of his blonde teammate.

"Yeah Naruto, Why does Sasuke-kun have to be the bait when you clearly know more about your own plan!" Naruto chuckled as he fumbled around with the roll of ninja wire.

"Boy, Do I love fooling around with ninja wire. I would say that it is my most favorite of a shinobi's weapon asernal...One wrong move and your victim is easily trapped within a blinding web of pain and torture. For a jounin like Hatake Kakashi I would assume that it wouldn't affect him as greatly but...thats when psychology plays in..." Naruto turned to his two teammates, his hood lower than usually but his grin clearly visible. He stared intently at Sasuke.

"I wouldn't say that Uchiha-kun is extravagant with taijutsu but he is indeed well rounded and the most suited person for this role in the plan...he is enough to keep up with Hatake Kakashi for at least 5 minutes...Not to mention that this wire would slow down Hatake Kakashi's movements by at least 30 percent...that is all that we need. All you have to do is drag him to the spot that is diagonal from the red horizon...and applied the force needed to set off the trap."

"Red horizon...Wait. So I'm the distraction?" Sasuke loudly stated unsure whether to be insulted or complimented by Naruto's words.

"Distraction is such a weak word...I would prefer...piece of cheese because it is more humilating to you." Naruto laughed raspily only to be shouted at by Sakura for calling the Uchiha boy "cheese".

"I am the owner that sets the trap...Sakura-imouto is the neko that eats the remains...and Uchiha-kun is the tantalizing cheese...hehehe..."

Sasuke flipped from branch to branch trying to get as close as he could to the planned spot. Hopping through ninja wire was the hardest crap he had down in a while especially the way Naruto set it up, but that wasn't the problem right now. The problem now was dealing with the somewhat aggressive grey haired cyclops-ed sensei who seemed to be out for his head and no matter how much he wanted the time to go out he wanted to pass the test more. Sasuke could almost cry in joy as he saw the planned spot. A weirdly shaped branch with a kunai lodged deep into the tree's body. Dodging more on coming attacks from Kakashi he landed on a neighboring branch to catch his breath.

"Where the hell is that creepy otaku?" Sasuke muttered to himself. As if right on time, a loud bang could be heard and a flying projectile wizzed by passed the two battling ninja. Kakashi and Sasuke quickly jumped away from each other after hearing the sound and looked into the direction where the first heard which they found a menacing Naruto standing with a large long metal object pointed at them with spouts of smoke emulating from it. He laughed outwardly and shifted his aim towards Kakashi.

Kakashi stood in place and grimaced as he felt a burning sensation on his hand. he looked down to see parts of his glove was burnt away as a raw burn displayed on the surface of his skin. He looked up at the hooded boy in the confusion along with Sasuke.

'T-that wasn't in the plan...'

"W-What is that thing?" Kakashi thought aloud as he stared at the shiny metal object in awe.

Naruto laughed, his tongue hissing about like a snake's tongue would.

"You are doing well Uchiha-kun.." Naruto chuckled as smokey bullet shells dropped to the forest floor.

"Back before the world was flooded and the elemental countries came to be. There were people that lived just like us but with no worldwide knowledge of chakra or anything form of energy of the sort. Because they had no use of chakra or any sort of shinobi arts, they sided to make their own weapons and machinery. There time was a time of industrialism, violence, discrimination and war...hehehe almost like ours. And of these wars came the creation of this little beauty..." Naruto switched his glance from his sensei to the metal object.

"A gun, but more specifically known as a modified Schmidt M1882 or more commonly known as...a Revolver! I modified it myself when I was studying on ancient history and geography. It shoots lightweighted metal through a small barrel which are pushed by a forced applied trigger. Good thing that bullet only grazed you Hatake-sensei, it would have been messy if it would have been a clean shot..." Naruto exclaimed as he fired the gun once more towards Kakashi whole the dodged the bullet. Kakashi leaped away from the guns aim just in time to see the branch that was hit by the bullet to seemingly explode in smoke and bark. Kakashi's eye widened at this but Naruto smirked.

"Now Uchiha-kun." Naruto charges Kakashi's front while Sasuke places himself on the far leftside of Kakashi and musters as much force as he could. Kakashi, unable to dodge the oncoming punch in mid air tries to block it with his left arm. The punch pushes Kakashi far to the right near the collage of ninja wire were the most abundant. Kakashi studied his arm while being a little impressed by the strength of the young genin, he deemed the kid to have a strong foundation in taijutsu as well as ninjutsu but he could tell that the young Uchiha and the blonde were up to something. He saw a surprising large grin on the face of the Uzumaki boy and couldn't but assume that his assumption of trickery was correct. At that moment, he saw a red glare of ninja wire twinkling in the sunlight.

Sasuke's eyes widened. '..Red'

Kakashi tried to maneuver himself in a way that he wouldn't be harm but the wire. Slightly cutting his right arm as he flipped himself over the wire that was strung from tree to tree. He landed to the ground and quickly took a taijutsu stance as he waited for the two genin to charge him again. He could feel the time running down. If he predicted correctly, they probably had no more than 3 minutes left.

The two genin boys landed before Kakashi who stood before them waiting for a final attack. They stood in fighting stance for a good 30 seconds until Naruto shifted stance and began to walk the opposite way all the way laughing evilly. Kakashi rose an eyebrow to this. What's up with this kid? They clearly had no time left and they obvious didn't try an attempt to get the bells. What was there to laugh about? Sasuke relaxed his stance and place his hands in his pockets all the while smirking.

Naruto stopped in his tracks and turned back to the two.

"Well I guess that's that, how much more time do we have left Hatake-sensei?" Naruto asked as he adjusted the goggles on his face. Kakashi leered at the boy and answered.

"You have less than 2 minutes left and you still haven't managed to get one bell as-"

"Oh? But we did get the bells you see...Sakura-imouto, you can come out now." From the neigboring bushes came a sheepish looking Sakura all the whhile holding up two bells. She gave the victory sign with a giggle. Sasuke and Naruto began walking towards while Kakashi looked in surpirse.

"It can't be.." He looked down to his pouch to see that the bells were indeed gone from his hip. He glanced back up to see a laughing Sakura, smirking Sasuke, and a maniacally grinning Naruto .

"but...but how, it must have been the ninja wire!"

'Yep, Naruto really came through with that annoying plan. I had to admit I didn't quite-'

"Not at all." Everyone stopped their musing and stared at the hooded boy. The alarm clock rang signifying that the test had officially ended. But everyone continued to stare at Naruto.

" I took them before you went on your "Uchiha-kun" chase...it was quite amusing actually..." Sasuke stared at the boy in shock.

"Wait! So you had the bells all along and I didn't have to go through that chase with Kakashi!"

Naruto looked at Sasuke and began to chuckle which turned into a laugh and soon an outright maniacal laughter. A laughter that will become a trademark of Naruto to his friends. Soon he stopped.

"No... I was just pulling your legs..Sakura-imouto has the bells after all..heehehe...But could you imagine?" Kakashi stared at the weird boy and couldn't help but chuckle. He was creepy and weird...with a sense of humor?

Naruto raised his forest green goggle from his face. Dull emotionless eyes were presented to the group which caused all three to flinch a little. His face was expressionless with no sign that he had ever once did any of his crazy grins ever in his life even. His face blank.

"I knew from the beginning that this was a team based test. Team work is important amongst ranks and is most important to genin's such as ourselves which is why it is mainly referenced by jounin senseis when testing out fresh out of the academy genin...Alone, we are nothing but together we are...'enough'. The plan was just enough to not try to out brute a superior but to...make him fumble up a little." Naruto stated as he aimed his cold eyes to Kakashi.

"I told Sakura to stay near the forest floor under the traps and wait for anything to drop and immediately grab it without being spotted. This was a simple job for her to do considering that Uchiha-kun and I are big enough distracts. Since Uchiha-kun is the obvious best out of the three of us at taijutsu, it was safe to say that he could be the bait to lure Hatake-sensei into the wire ridden forest. Meanwhile, I stayed in the in shadows changing the positions of wires to slip Hatake-sensei up enough for Sasuke to make it to the designated spot..." Naruto continues.

"Knowing that my crafts would be quite a shock and/or distraction to Hatake-sensei it made the next half of the plan easier to execute. Guns are a weapon unknown by the world that we live in and it would throw quite a few people off to see them.. even jounin who have seen many things and have experience on their belt...well it would shocked them enough to give us enough time... I would fire aimlessly at Hatake-sensei to get him in the air where he couldn't defend himself against wires or anyone...After studying Uchiha-kun's physical strength I could judge the distance and height of where I would place the token 'red' wire which would be the one that he could not avoid without cutting off the bells...Sakura-imouto would grab the bells as they fall to the forest floor and we continue on with the fight as if nothing happened...well the ending was too mundane to go through with." Naruto stated a evil grin soon plastering onto his once emotionless face but still his eyes looked as if they were sapphire black holes.

He placed his goggles back over his eyes and chuckled. "This fun...my brain loved this test."

"...Naruto?" Sakura stated. She was a little confused by the boy's eyes. Her musing was stopped as Kakashi began to laugh.

"Haha, I see...Great job team 7. I believe that was the most interesting group I have ever had. Congratulations...you guys pass." Sakura jumped for joy. She was finally a real shinobi. Sasuke shifted his hands into his pockets and smirked while Naruto took out his rubix cube from his jacket pocket and began to reset it.

"Come with me, I want you all to see this." The trio followed the silver haired jounin till they reached a memorial stone of sorts.

"These are names of many heroic and brave shinobi who fought for this village and have giving there lives so that their loved ones and their village will continue to live on. These are the ninja who have been killed in battle." The three stared on in silence at the man. Kakashi stared up at the sky.

"I want you three to know...that those who break the rules are trash...but those who abandon their comrades are worst trash..." Kakashi eye smiled and turned from the group and began walking off into the opposite direction.

"Well, see you guys. You are now officially genin of the leaf, report back the training grounds tomorrow at the same time to begin or first set of missions." And with that Kakashi waved behind his back at the group and disappeared into the village streets. Each of the genin had a look on their face that each exhibited happiness in their way as they began walking off in their own separate directions. Sasuke began heading back towards the Uchiha grounds while Sakura began to follow suit, bugging him about dates. She looked back for a short few seconds to see the retreating back of her other teammate. She couldn't help but feel an expression of pity leak onto her face.

"...He seems like...like..." She couldn't quite lace a finger on the enigma known as Uzumaki Naruto. That is until she could hear him creepily laughing as he disappeared off in the distance. Sakura's expression turned into that of humorous disgust in a flash.

"...like a CREEP!" She quickly turned and began to follow after the Uchiha boy.
