Chapter 4 You Failed! The final Decision

When Kakashi was hit with Sasuke's Shuriken attack Kakashi used a replacement jutsu so he wouldnt be hurt, "Damn it, he used another replacement? He must have determined

my location from that shuriken attack. He dropped his guard on purpose. I fell for his trap." Sasuke said to himself. "There he is." Said Kakashi. Sakura grabbed Naruko by the hand and

started running, "Where is Sasuke-kun? Did Sensei already get him...? No that can't happen to Sasuke-kun." Sakura said out loud. "What about my brother we should help him get

down..."Naruko said in a shy voice. "He can get himself down." Sakura yelled. Naruko pulled Sakura to the ground. "What was that for?" Sakura asked. "Look!" Naruko said pointing to

there Sensei. "We're safe! He didnt notice us." Naruko said. "Sakura, Naruko behind you." Kakashi said in a low tone. Both the girls turned there heads in the direction of the voice and

both screamed.

"Ninjas need to think beyond the normal? Damn it, I'm never going to fall for his traps agian." Said Naruto cutting the rope and landing on the ground but there was another trap

and he was stuck in the situation again, "I fell for it!" Naruto yelled. kakashi made a hand sign for a genjutsu and got the girls stuck in it. Sakura and Naruko both were dazed for a minute

but came back but we're in a field, "What? What was that?" Naruko asked. "Hey, where did Sensei go?" Sakura asked too. "What's going on?" both the girls said to eachother.

"Sakura...Naruko..."Said Naruto and Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun, Naruto!" The two girls said hapily turning around to the boys. "Sakura...Naruko...Help us..." Said the two boys who had many

kunai in them. Naruko and Sakura both stood there with tears in there eyes, "Naruto... You promised you wouldnt leave me!" Naruko screamed now crying hystericly and hugging

herself. Sakura screamed and Naruko bursted into tears both falling to the ground. "Maybe I overdid it. But they should have noticed if it's real or not." Kakashi said to himself.

"That must've been Sakura's and Naruko's voice's." Sasuke thought to himself. "Ninja tactics know-how number two, genjutsu. The girls fell for it so easily." Kakashi thought to

himself. "Genjutsu, eh? A type hallucinatory mind-controlling technique. It's no wonder the girls fell for it easily. But...I'm different from them." Sasuke said aloud. "Why don't you say

that after you get a bell Sasuke-kun." Kakashi said making Sasuke face him. Kakashi and Sasuke stood there glaring at eachother, Sasuke made the first move by throwing some

shuriken. Kakashi jumped to the right and dodged them easily. "There's no use in just using normal attacks." Kakashi stated. Sasuke threw anoth kunai cutting a rope that he laid, "A

trap?" Kakashi asked. Jumping to the left Kakashi dodged the kunai trap. Sasuke then appeared behind Kakashi ready to kick, "What?" Kakashi asked himself. Turning quickly

Kakshi blocked Sasuke's kick. Kakashi grabed Sasuke heel, Sasuke threw a punch at Kakashi only to be blocked again. Sasuke brought his other leg around for another kick but Kakshi

blocked it again, Sasuke smiled and brought his free hand to one of the bells and just touching it making Kakshi let Sasuke go and jump back a few feet. "What a guy. I don't have

time to read icha icha Paradise." Kakashi said to himself.

Naruko and Sakura both woke up from the genjutsu. "I saw Sasuke and Naruto badly injured and I...Naruto! Don't die and leave me behind! Naruko yelled. Where are you?" she

yelled again. Naruto was hanging high in the tree, "So that's how it looks like behind the logs." Naruto started to get excited, "There's lunch's on the rock! Ninjas need to think beyond

the normal. eh?" He said laughing. "I'll admit that you're different from those three." Kakashi said as Sasuke started to do hand signs. "Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled. "What?

That technique isnt something a genin can do...He shouldn't have enough chakra." Kakashi stated as Sasuke blew a fire straight at him. "He's gone! Is he behind me? No, above? Where

is he?" Sasuke kept asking himself. "Beneath you." Kakashi stated grabing his leg. "Doton shinjuuzanshu no Jutsu." Said Kakashi pulling Sasuke down to be from the neck down. "This is

the third ninja tactics know-how, Ninjutsu. How is it? Can't move, right? Looks like your talents are exceptional. But...Thay say that stakes that point out get driven into the ground." Kakashi

said pulling his book out to read. "Damn it!" Said Sasuke.

"All I have to do is eat this while hiding instead of getting bell. Time to eat!" Naruto said in a happy go lucky tone. "Hey." Said Kakashi. "That was a joke and..." Naruto started. "Too

late!" Kakashi yelled. Sasuke was still stuck in the ground, "Damn it, we're this different...?" Sasuke thought to himself. Sakura and Naruko were running again and jumped through a bush,

the girls both stoped in place noticing Sasuke's head, "Sakura, Naruko." Said Sasuke. but all he got was them screaming, "Now it's a severed head!" Sakura yelled passing out. "What's

wrong with her?" Sasuke asked. "I don't know..." Naruko said looking cunfused. A few minutes later Sasuke got out of the ground and was leaning over a passed out Sakura with Naruko

behind him. "Sasuke-kun? You're okay!" Sakura screamed hugging Sasuke. "Don't get so close."Sasuke said pushing Sakura away with a giggling Naruko watching the whole scene. "There's

alittle time left until noon. I'm going." Sasuke told Sakura and Naruko. "Sasuke-kun, are you still going after the bell?" Sakura asked. "I was able to touch it a while ago. I can get it next

time." Sasuke stated. "Is that so? Your amazing, Sasuke-kun." Sakura shyly said. "Wait what happened to Naruto? His he ok?" Naruko asked worried. "Last time I saw him he was still stuck

in that tree like the idiot he is." Sasuke answerd. Naruko pushed Sasuke lightly, "Stop calling my brother an idiot, if you knew him like I did you wouldnt say stuff like that..." Naruko said

looking away. "Hn, what ever." Sasuke simply said. The bell started ringing, "Damn it! I wasted my time talking." Sasuke said irritated.

Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruko walked back to the 4 logs to see Naruto tied to one of them, the kids all sat down. Naruko watched as her brother squirmed and his stomach growled,

She started to giggle, " Dont laugh at me Naruko-chan." Naruto pleaded. Then the other three's stomachs growled as well, "Your stomachs are growling, eh? By the way, about the results of

this training...None of you need to return to the Ninja Academy." Kakashi stated. "What? But all me and Naruko did was faint. Was that okay?" Sakura asked with Naruko nodding her head.

"Does that mean we four...?" Naruto asked excited. "Do we really?" Naruko asked happily. "Yeah, you four...Should quit being ninjas!" Kakashi yelled. Naruko stopped cheering sat down

infront of her brother. Naruto didnt understand at all, "Quit being ninjas? What do you mean? Naruto yelled. "We couldnt get a bell, but why do you have to say we should quit?" Naruko

added. "It's because you four are just kids who don't even deserve to be ninjas." Kakashi said. Sasuke didnt like that he stood up and ran at Kakashi but he grabed him and slamed him on

the ground. "Sasuke-kun!" Sakura yelled. "See? You all are just kids." Kakashi finished. "Don't step on Sasuke-kun!" Sakura barked. "Naruto I dont want to quit being a ninja." Naruko said.

"Do you guys think being a ninja is easy? Why do you think we're training by breaking up into groups? Said Kakashi. Naruko looked at Kakashi, "What do you mean?" she asked. "In other

words, you four dont understand the ansert of this test." Kakashi simply put. Naruto looked at his sister, "The answer?" he asked. "That's right. The answer to determine whether you pass or

fail." Said Kakashi. "We've been asking what that is..." Sakura said shyly. "Geez, are your brains empty? You don't understand why you're all in a group?" Kakashi asked. "So what about four

people being in a group?" Naruto yelled. "Teamwork." Kakashi stated. Sakura started "You mean..." "Cooperate with each other? Naruko asked.

"That's right. But it's too late even if you notice now. If all four of you came at me at once maybe you could have gotten a bell. But that's too bad." Kakashi said. "Wait! Why do we

need to use teamwork when there's only three bells? If four people work hard to get it, one person will have to bite the bullet." Naruko stated. "Ya a group conflict would occur intead of

actual teamwork." Sakura added. "Of course. This test tries to put you four against each other." Said Kakashi. "What?" Naruto asked. "In this situation, we select those who can prioritize

teamwork before themselves. That was the purpose, but all of you were pathetic. Sakura! You cared more about Sasuke than Naruto, even though Naruto was right in front of you and you

didn't know where Sasuke was." Kakashi finished. "Naruko! you did the same thing but you were more worried about your brothers condition then any other's. Naruto! All you did was

work on your own. And you Sasuke...you assumed that those three were only going to burden you and did everthing yourself. Missions are done in groups. It's true that ninjas need well-

developed individual abilities, but it's teamwork that is much more important. An Individual action that disrupts the teamwork will result in danger or even death for the teammates. For

example...Naruko! kill you brother, or Sasuke's going to die!" Kakashi Yelled. Naruko and Naruto kept looking back and forth to eachother then at Kakashi, "That's what will happen." Kakashi

said putting his kunai away. "Yoy surprised me..." Naruko said with a sigh. "After getting someone taken hostage, you will be faced with a difficult decision, and someone will die. In

every mission, you put your life on the line." Kakashi said getting up and walking over to a memorial stone. "Look at this...The numerous names carved into this stone. All these names are

those praised as heroes in this village." Kakashi said. "I like that! I like that! I've decided that I'm going to have my name carved into that! A hero! A hero! I'm not going to die any useless

death!" Naruto anounced. "Thats amazing I want to be a hero with my brother." Naruko said with wide eyes. "But they're not normal heroes." Kakashi added. "So what kind of heroes were

they? Come on, tell me." Said Naruto. "Those who were K.I.A." Kakashi told. "K.I.A?" Asked Naruto. "Those who were killed in action." Sakura said quietly. Naruto and Naruko looked at

eachother and put there heads down. "This is a cenotaph. The names of friends are carved in here as well...I'll give you one more chance. However, the battle for the bell will be much

harsher after lunch. Eat lunch only if you are up to the challenge. But! Don't let Naruto eat. This is punishment for breaking the rules and trying to eat lunch early. If anyone feeds him, the

person will immediately fail. I'm the rule here. Got it?" Kakashi ended then dissapeard.

Naruko, Sakura, and Sasuke started to eat there lunch, while they were eating Naruto's stomach kept growling. Naruko looked up at her brother, "I'm okay even if I don't eat! I'm

okay!" Naruto said with his stomach growling again. "Okay..." Naruto sighed. "Here." Sasuke said to Naruto handing him his bento. "Hey, Sasuke-kun! Sensei just said that..." Sakura said

looking around. "Dont worry. I dont sense him nearby. We four are going to get the bells together. It's only going to be trouble if he's hungry." Sasuke said simply. "Fine..." Sakura sighed

handing her bento to Naruto also. Naruko also handed him her bento. "I am your sister so I will share with you." Naruko said smiling. "T..Thanks everyone. But, um...I cant eat on my own

I'm still tied up..." Naruto said sadly. Naruko stood up, "I'll feed you..." Naruko said blushing and putting the food in Naruto's mouth. "Thank you Naruko-chan, you the greatest." Just then a

huge puff of smoke opeared. "You four!" Kakashi yelled makeing Naruto, Naruko and Sakura to scream. " You four broke the rule. Are you prepared for the punishment? Any last words?"

Kakashi asked while doing a hand sign makeing the sky gray with clouds and the ground rumble beneath them. "But..." Naruto started making Kakashi look at him. "But... But... But...You

said...! That's why these three..." Naruto said scared. "We're a four man team, right?" Sasuke asked. "Yeah! We four are one!" Naruko yelled. Naruto looked at everyone panicked, "Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! That's right!" Naruto screamed. "You four are on, eh?" Kakashi said looking everyone in the eyes. "You pass!" Kakashi Yelled making everyone look at him funny. "You

pass." He said again. "Pass?" Sakura asked. "Why?" Naruko added. "You four are the first. People I had previously were blockheads who just listened to what I said. Ninja need to think

beyond the normal. In the world of ninjas, those who break the rules are called scum. But those who dont take care of their friends are even worse than scum." Kakashi said looking to the

sky. "He's... He's kind of cool." Naruto said about to cry. "The training ends here. Everyone passes! The 7th group will start doing missions starting tomorrow!" Kakashi yelled giving a

thumbs up. "Yes, sir!" Naruko said hugging her brother happily. "I did it! I'm a ninja, ninja, ninja!" Cheered Naruto. "Lets go home." Kakashi said. Sasuke, Naruko, Kakashi, and Sakura

started to walk away. "Wait! You forgot to untie the freaking rope!" Naruto yelled making Naruko run back. "Hehe, sorry Naruto...Oh and congrates on becoming a ninja." Naruko said giving

her brother a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
