Alright you three let's start with some introductions" said the masked Jonin that stood in front of the three genin.
"Why don't you start Sensei?" suggested Naruto.
"Alright my name is Kakashi Hatake, there are a few things I like and a few I don't like, my hobbies I don't feel like sharing and my dream is none of your business blondie you first" said Kakashi pointing to Naruto.
"All we learnt was his name" was the collective thought of the genin.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki Yuhi, I like roses, the moon, swords, snakes, my friends, Gaia-chan, my Kaa-san and Kaa-chan and old man Hokage, my dislikes include backstabbers, traitors, those who abandon their friends or family and those who can't see the scroll for the kunai, my hobbies are watching the moon, practicing genjutsu with my Kaa-chan, practicing my kenjutsu with Yugao-Oba-san and Hayate-Oji-san, gardening, and hanging out with my friends and my dream is to become Hokage" said Naruto. Sasuke who had been paying close attention picked apart what Naruto had said and stored the important bits away for later use Gaia just smiled that she was under his likes and not as a friend.
"Alright next the red head" said Kakashi pointing to Gaia.
"My name is Gaia, I like Naruto-kun, my brother and sister back in Suna, Kurenai-san and Anko-san, the stars and desert plants, I don't like traitors, backstabbers, rapists, arrogant people, and those who can't see the bucket for the water within, my hobbies include star gazing, hanging out with Naruto-kun and running around in the rain, my dream is to one day have a big and happy family" said Gaia, Naruto smiled at her, Sasuke again filed all the useful bits of information away for when he tried to decipher the riddles that were Naruto Uzumaki and Gaia.
"Alright lastly Mr short dark and brooding" said Kakashi.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha" declared Sasuke getting annoyed that he was the only one to get a stupid nickname.
"I like Tomatoes, my clan and the rain, I dislike many things, my hobbies include training, gardening and swimming, my dream is to one day restore my clan and kill a certain man" said Sasuke darkly.
"Ok so we have two love birds one of whom sounds like a mamma's boy, and then we have an emo avenger how did Hokage-sama think this team would work?" thought Kakashi.
"Alright you lot well tomorrow you have one final test to pass before you're officially genin so meet me at training ground seven at seven, bring all the equipment you think you will need this final test has a 66% failure rate" said Kakashi before getting up to leave.
"Oh yeah before I forget I suggest you don't eat breakfast you'll only chuck" said Kakashi with an eye smile before leaving in a Shunshin.
"Sasuke" said Naruto drawing the attention of the brooding Uchiha to him.
"Yeah?" responded Sasuke.
"The person you want to kill it's your brother isn't it" said Naruto. Sasuke was a little bit shocked, but nodded anyway.
"I'm not going to say don't do it but what I will say is don't live only to kill him live to protect your friends and don't you dare say you have none you have us, and when the time comes then face Itachi" said Naruto. Again Sasuke was shocked.
"We have your back Sasuke" said Gaia finishing Naruto's Last thought. There was a moment of silence.
"And I have yours" said Sasuke breaking the silence.
"Good that's what we like to hear, now I suggest the three of us take a little trip to training ground seven" said Naruto getting up. Sasuke and Gaia followed and held Naruto's hand as the trio walked down from the academy roof and off to training ground seven.
#The Next Morning#
It was eight thirty and all three members of team seven had just arrived at training ground seven.
"You said yesterday that Kakashi sensei would be three hours late this morning Naruto" grumbled Sasuke.
"That I did" said Naruto looking at Sasuke as the three stood in the middle of the field.
"Then why are we here an hour and a half early?" asked Sasuke confused.
"So we can set up traps and a plan" said Naruto
#An Hour And A Half Later#
Naruto, Gaia and Sasuke were in the middle of the training ground, Naruto sitting under a tree sharpening his nodachi's midnight black blade, Gaia was sitting next to Naruto leaning on his shoulder with a smile on her face and her eyes shut and Sasuke was in front of the duo doing light warm ups. All three looked up when a small tornado of leaves kicked up once it subsided it revealed Kakashi giving them all what could only be called an eye smile.
"Sorry I'm late an old lady needed help with her shopping and as a good citizen I couldn't say no" said Kakashi.
"We all know that's bullshit but let's move on" said Naruto standing up and re-sheathing his nodachi. The three genin moved into a line in front of Kakashi as the man himself pulled out a timer.
"Alright you three you have until noon to get theses bells off me, you may use whatever you think necessary, be it kunai, jutsu or swords, anyone who doesn't get a bell will be sent back to the academy and they will also be tied to one of those posts while the rest of us eat our lunch in front of you" said Kakashi expecting to hear rumbling stomachs, but instead got nothing.
"You see you only advised us not to eat yesterday never specifically said we can't, ninja need to be able to decide what is good information and what isn't and then act on that" said Naruto with a smile of his own.
"Right well I guess the only thing left is to begin" said Kakashi and in an instant the three genin were gone.
"And now I wait" muttered Kakashi pulling out a book and began to read it.
#With Sasuke#
"What the hell is going on Naruto said that Kakashi would most likely be testing our teamwork, but this is anything but it's almost as if Kakashi is trying…" muttered Sasuke before a thought hit him.
"I have to find them" said Sasuke bolting off in a random direction looking for his teammates.
#With Gaia and Naruto#
"What's going on Naruto-kun you said Kakashi would test teamwork this doesn't say teamwork to me this is anything but a teamwork exercise" said Gaia.
"That's the point of this exercise" said Naruto drawing a confused look from Gaia.
"He's trying to divide us make us work as individuals not a team we have to work together to get the bells" said Naruto. Just after he said that both genin heard a noise behind them and both turned to the noise Gaia with her sand at the ready Naruto with a kunai in his hands.
"It's me calm down" said Sasuke jumping back. Both Naruto and Gaia eyed him suspiciously.
"What time did you arrive this morning?" asked Gaia.
"Eight thirty guys it's me" said Sasuke. Naruto and Gaia eyed him for a moment before letting up and nodding.
"So I take it you worked out what the test is?" asked Naruto, Sasuke nodded.
"Yeah the test is to see if we can overcome our differences to work together for a common cause" said Sasuke, Naruto nodded.
"Alright here's the plan…"
#Half an hour later with Kakashi#
"Where are they I would have thought at least one of them would have tried by now" thought Kakashi looking up from his book.
Kakashi was then forced to jump out of the way as several kunai and shuriken came flying at him.
"Finally" thought Kakashi looking around waiting for the next attack, he didn't have to wait long as while he was looking around Naruto ran out of the tree line with his nodachi drawn, Kakashi pulled out a kunai to block the downwards swing of Naruto's sword. It was too late that Kakashi noted Naruto's smirk, as Naruto's sword hit Kakashi's kunai the black blade shattered. Naruto jumped back from the blade lock and threw the hilt of his nodachi up into the air and then that too disintegrated confusing Kakashi.
"Hanabira No Arashi (Petal Storm)" called Naruto, Kakashi's eyes widened as all of the shattered parts of Naruto's nodachi floated up and flew at him, Kakashi noted that the blade parts looked like rose petals before jumping out of the way.
"Katon Gokakyu No Jutsu (Fire Style great Fireball jutsu)" called a voice from behind Kakashi, the man turned only to see a huge fireball flying at him
"What are these kids, genin shouldn't be this good"thought Kakashi using a quick Kawarimi (Substitution) with a nearby log to get out of the fireball's range.
"Suna Shuriken (Sand Shuriken)" called a female voice from beside Kakashi as a large number of shuriken made of sand at Kakashi who ducked to the ground to avoid the projectiles. Kakashi rolled to the side as Naruto flipped over him the petals temporarily forming back into his nodachi to slash at Kakashi before disintegrating into petals again, Kakashi jumped up with his back to a tree and put his book away and swapped it for a second kunai along with the first kunai he held in a reverse grip. Now in front of Kakashi stood the three genin standing side by side Naruto in the center, Sasuke to his left and Gaia to Naruto's right. Behind Naruto was what looked like a snake made up of black and red rose petals, Gaia had sand floating around her and Sasuke had a handful of kunai and shuriken.
"Sasuke" said Naruto, the black haired Uchiha heir then lobbed his projectiles at Kakashi who deflected them all with relative ease, before the silver haired man ran at the trio of genin, Sasuke and Gaia jumped to the side leaving Naruto in the center of the clearing, Naruto held his hand out to the side as if holding the hilt of a sword and the petal snake behind him flew into his open hand and constructed his nodachi again. Naruto swung his blade at Kakashi who swung his kunai at Naruto, the two weapons locked, Kakashi having more years' experience and being stronger had the upper hand pushed Naruto back. Naruto separated from Kakashi and brought his blade down on the Jonin again, Kakashi blocked before swinging one kunai in a wide ark, Naruto ducked to the ground to avoid the slash. Kakashi who was about to deliver a follow up attack to Naruto jumped back as a small wave of sand appeared between the two. Naruto jumped back a bit before charging right in again. Another barrage of kunai and shuriken came flying out of the trees at Kakashi and in a strong display of his skills he threw one of his kunai at one of the kunai flying at him before flipping over Naruto and catching the deflected kunai in his open hand and as soon as he landed Kakashi ran forwards at Naruto slashing at the genin who was blocking to the best of his ability and with the help of Gaia's sand where available but Naruto was still getting cut and pushed back. Kakashi swung on kunai high and the other low. Naruto used his own Kawarimi to get away but instead of a log or something like that he was replaced with a bunch of red and black rose petals. Before Kakashi could do anything else Sasuke jumped out of the bushes and ran at the jonin who stood there and waited for Sasuke to get to him, once Sasuke got to Kakashi the two began a fierce taijutsu match. Sasuke threw a punch at Kakashi's midsection but the jonin grabbed the duck butt haired teens wrist. Sasuke then sent his other fist towards Kakashi's head hoping to catch to jonin un aware, but that plan failed miserably when Kakashi caught Sasuke's wrist. Sasuke quickly assessed the situation and though of the best possible way for him to get out relatively unscathed, Sasuke using Kakashi's grip on both his wrists against the man jumped up and delivered a double kick to the stomach. Kakashi was caught off guard by this and was unable to block the kick, Sasuke using Kakashi's chest as a spring board pushed off the man and back flipped and landed on his feet in front of the stunned Kakashi. Sasuke now stood once again alongside his teammates but just before any more attacks could be launched the bell sounded.
