(3rd PoV)
"Where is Kakashi-sensei!?"
Naruto shouted in frustration, receiving a grunt of 'Hn' from Sasuke. He was annoyed too.
It is half an hour past the decided time.
Meanwhile, Sakura was sitting in the shade of tree, while constantly making handsigns to increase her speed in them.
Another half hour passed, and Sakura was busy doing a handstand on the fingertip of her left hand, without using chakra. Should it be called fingerstand?
Another hour passed, and Sakura was doing all the yoga stances of flexibility.
In her previous life, her school had Yoga classes, and she was enthusiastic about it. For three-four days. But she still remembered all the stances, and with the Power of Youth™, she has been doing not only the hard training of Guy-sensei, but the flexible yoga.
She can even turn her stomach into a mixer grinder, which only very few people in her previous world could do.
Another hour passed, and Sakura was drawing a dragon. In the Shinobi world, very few people can fly. So, she has decided to learn Sai's jutsu in the future. It will be a good thing if she can get a flying summon creature alongside slugs.
After a total of three hours have passed, Kakashi finally arrived.
"Yo!"
"YOU ARE LATE!"
Naruto screamed.
"Hn."
Sasuke looked accusedly, already doubting Kakashi's capabilities.
Sakura closed her manga that she was reviewing for the last time, Love is War: Season 1.
Of course, she has changed the name from Kaguya to 'Yukihime', as in Ice Princess. And made the world more according to Naruto, where Yukihime is a perfect ninja and the heir to the Shinomiya clan, and Shirogane only has her beat in the academics, and isn't really that talented in being a ninja. And there will be no reference anything related to the moon either.
Sakura came over, and handed Kakashi the manga.
"Please review it. And help me publish it with most profit and editorial non-interference if we pass this test."
'Since Kakashi's reputation is great across the ninja world, the publishers won't try to scam me.
Though if I took Guy-sensei with me to the publisher, I might get scammed even more.'
Kakashi raised an eyebrow, and nodded.
"Alright."
"YOSH!"
Sakura shouted, and his eyes twitched at her toothy grin and thumbs up.
"Alright. These are two bells. There is the clock set at 12pm, so you have two hours.
Those who manage to grab the bell will pass."
"But there are only two bells!"
Naruto exclaimed.
"Yes. Only two people will pass, at most. The remaining person will go back to the academy."
"This doesn't make any sense!"
Naruto protested.
Kakashi checked everyone's reaction. Naruto was obviously enraged and lamenting, Sasuke was determined, and Sakura had the Fire of Youth™ burning in her gaze.
"It makes complete sense. You are my subordinates, and you will follow my orders.
Well, I doubt any of you can grab even one bell.
Anyway, rules are rules. Come with the intent to kill if you don't want to return to the academy.
3!
2!
1!
Hajime!"
Just as he said it, Naruto rushed at him with a kunai, while Sasuke hid in a tree.
As expected from someone that Guy often brags about, Sakura jumped aside, going out of Naruto and Kakashi's path and going at his right, wanting to have a direct confrontation.
"Let's have a YOUTHFUL showdown!"
Saying that, she threw senbons, with chakra surrounding them, straight at Kakashi and the directions he might move to.
"Naruto! Flood the battlefield with your clones!"
"I don't need clones to take down this guy!"
Unsurprisingly enough, Naruto thought that he could take down Kakashi by himself.
Kakashi deflected the senbons with his kunai, and kicked Naruto away, sending him flying to the lake.
But surprisingly, the senbons that were not directly in his path changed trajectories, since Sakura had used chakra threads to control the senbons.
The chakra covering them expanded, and tried to slash Kakashi.
And it worked!
Kakashi was sliced in several pieces!
And the bells dropped on the ground by Kakashi's corpse.
Sakura flared up her chakra, and the view before her disappeared.
'A genjutsu huh?'
"Sakura! You killed him!?"
Naruto, coming out of water, screamed at Sakura.
But suddenly, Kakashi appeared behind her, and Sakura, sensing him behind her due to distortion in her surrounding chakra, quickly performed a Konoha Whirlwind kick.
But all she kicked was a block of wood.
"Naruto! That corpse is just a genjutsu! I said, flood the field with your clones!"
Kakashi's corpse vanished, alongside the bells, and Kakashi jumped down from a tree.
Naruto just did that, and around a thousand clones of Naruto appeared on the training ground.
It was overwhelming to watch. A twelve year old kid, producing a thousand shadow clones without any difficulty. Compared to that, Sakura can only make one safely, two if she pushes it. Three, she might be able to do it but more than that, she might actually die.
Sakura used transformation jutsu and transformated into Naruto, and by constantly changing directions, rushed at the Kakashi that appeared again.
She could feel that each of these Shadow Clones possessed more chakra than her.
She threw a smoke bomb, and said to a shadow clone.
"Let's regroup near the lake."
Saying that, she stabbed the clone, making it pop.
In the cover of the smoke, she ran towards the lake.
She waited, but Naruto didn't come. He and his clones were busy getting beaten up.
"That's not Youthful at all."
Sakura muttered, cancelling her transformation jutsu.
Suddenly, Sakura's feet slipped, and she fell into the lake.
"HELP-!"
She managed to scream before she started falling inside. The weights she was wearing were proving to be very difficult for her to swim back.
Sasuke, who was witnessing this, thought about whether to reveal his position or save Sakura.
But seeing that Naruto was tied up, and Kakashi had no intention to move, he gritted his teeth, and jumped into the lake.
He didn't even realise that his eyes have turned red, with a tomoe in each eye.
On the surface, Naruto wiggled and screamed.
"Hey! Let me go! I have to save Sakura!"
But Kakashi casually started reading the manga that Sakura gave him.
"Wouldn't be better if she is eliminated? Then you wouldn't have to compete for the bell. Afterall, amongst the three, you are the weakest."
"Don't f*ck with me!"
Naruto's eyes turned red, and he started emitting an orange, evil chakra.
Kakashi felt like he enraged Naruto a little too much.
The rope melted with Kyuubi's chakra, and he slashed at Kakashi, which he effortlessly dodged.
But, he had to open his Sharingan now-
"First Gate: Open!"
While he was distracted, Sakura delivered a powerful kick straight at his chest, which he managed to dodge, but Sakura had already swiped the bells.
She closed the gates, and shouted at Naruto.
"Naruto! Calm down! I am fine!"
Sakura shouted, and Naruto, after seeing her, finally calmed down.
"Huh? Sakura-chan! I thought that you fell-"
"It was a shadow clone. I thought that if I pretend that I am in real danger, Kakashi-sensei will jump into the lake to save me, and I would use that opportunity to take the bells.
But... Kakashi-sensei isn't YOUTHFUL at all! I thought that he was a rival and best friend of Guy-sensei!"
From the lake, Sakura's Shadow Clone emerged with Sasuke, and he was glaring at her.
'I jumped into the lake for no reason!'
Sasuke thought, even more aggregated as he saw Sakura holding the two bells.
He knew that Sakura didn't really want to do anything with him. And was friends with Naruto.
This means that he will have to go back to the academy.
Kakashi sighed in his mind as Sakura looked at him accusingly.
He knew that Sasuke was nearby, and knew that Sakura was doing it intentionally to lure him.
So, he wanted to test Sasuke if he will choose to save Sakura or not.
He knew that Sakura was nearby, and that was most likely a shadow clone.
But Kyuubi's chakra flaring up distracted him and all his focus went to putting Naruto to sleep with Sharingan.
But Sakura used that opportunity to take the bells.
Afterall, she is already good at taijutsu and is very fast. Without weights, and in first Gate which gives mch more speed and power than to Guy when he was 12, simply because Sakura has way larger chakra than he had at her age, she was able to take the bells.
'So she is not brash like Guy huh?'
Kakashi gave a good score to Sakura. Afterall, having one idiot on the team is enough. He wouldn't be able to handle two.
Sakura dismissed her shadow clone, and Sasuke came over, Sharingan still activated.
"Huh!? Sasuke, your eyes are red!"
Naruto exclaimed.
"Your eyes were red too, Naruto. And had a very powerful chakra. Don't tell me, are you from some sort of secret clan that has just so much chakra?"
Sakura asked Naruto curiously, and Sasuke was surprised.
He has awakened the Sharingan? And Naruto had red eyes too? Is he some sort of Uchiha bastard kid?
Surprisingly enough, Kakashi decided to reveal some information about Naruto.
"Naruto is the last descendant of Uzumaki clan. Uzumaki clan was said to have the biggest chakra reserves in the whole world, due to their unmatched vitality."
The three of them were surprised, but Kakashi continued before he could be interrupted.
"Anyway. Sakura, now that you have the two bells, which of these two are you going to give one?"
Sakura started pondered about it.
'I didn't exactly expect to be able to get the bells. Well, Kurama was certainly a wild card that allowed me to be able to do it.
Should I give both bells to Naruto and Sasuke? No, that will be too unnatural...'
"I wouldn't be able to get the bells without Naruto distracting you...
But Sasuke jumped in to save me...
But there is something that is on my mind, Kakashi-sensei.
Don't the Genin teams have three Genins?
As soon as I heard about the two bells, I thought of something.
Is this all a ruse to turn us against each other? If that's the case, you really are unYOUTHFUL!"
Kakashi was surprised, even though he didn't show it.
"I am 'unYOUTHFUL', yes. But rules are rules-"
Suddenly, he slammed Sasuke and Naruto on the ground, and put kunais against their neck.
Sakura had known this tactic, but seeing it firsthand was scary.
"I am going to kill the person you don't choose-"
"Only a fool will believe that! If you really wanted to kill us, you wouldn't spare any of us!"
Sakura shouted, and immediately shooted an emergency flare in the sky, and activated first gate, and then second gate. And then, the third gate.
She rushed towards Kakashi, willing to test her strength against him.
But before she could kick him in the head with all her strength, Hiruzen caught her feet.
"Stop!"
Several ninjas surrounded the training ground after having seen the flare, and they saw Kakashi holding kunais against Naruto and Sasuke, and to anyone, it looked like Kakashi is trying to kill Naruto and Sasuke, and Sakura is even using the gates to save her teammates.
The situation became very awkward.
"Team 7, pass."
Kakashi said and released Sasuke and Naruto.
And Sakura also closed the gates, and dropped to the ground, breathing heavily, and started healing herself.
"My sensei is not YOUTHFUL at all!"
She shouted, and everyone sweatdropped.
Hiruzen sighed and looked at Kakashi.
"Your test is too extreme, Kakashi. Everyone! There is nothing to worry! It was just Genin test! Go back to your work!"
Sakura, who was in pain and healing herself, felt that her performance was good today.
