Chapter 28: Im A Real Ninja
The morning came quickly. I got up and prepped for the day, making us a small breakfast before we got dressed and headed out at the agreed-upon time. I knew he was going to be late, but I also knew he was most likely watching us from a distance. I didn't want to disobey a direct order to be there at five, but we were going to sit there and work out.
When we arrive, we are greeted by Sasuke and Sakura, who look both tired and hungry. I approached them and said, "You should've eaten before coming." Sasuke scolded me, frustrated, and Sakura said, "he told us not to eat. We cannot just ignore our sensei words!" I give her a 'really bitch' look before saying. "he said he recommended not eating for you will throw it up. He did not say not to eat because you will throw up. There's a huge difference." Before I toss two apples out of my pouch, telling them. "you're gonna need the energy for the test that's coming."
I then gestured for Naruto to follow me. There was a slow-moving river on one side of the training field, so Naruto and I decided to start training on it. As we got close to the edge, we heard a shout from Sakura asking what we were doing. I looked back at her and said, "Training," before stepping out onto the river and walking across it until I reached the middle. I saw a shocked look from both Sasuke and Sakura as they watched Naruto and me stand on the water and not fall down.
Naruto and I do some quick stretches before getting into our respective fighting stances before launching into a full-blown fight. We weren't going hard. It was mostly just to train our muscle memory. We go for about 20 minutes before Naruto loses concentration and falls into the water. I take a few seconds to catch my breath and regulate my chakra before turning around and start doing some hand signs. I have been practicing this on the side, getting a good understanding of how to use it as I take a deep breath and blow through the final hand sign, launching three fireballs the size of volleyballs striking further up the river, just showing off but also practicing at the same time.
Finally, Naruto's hand breaches the water's surface and grabs it like he's grabbing onto some railing before pulling himself up and standing on the water. Once again, I turn around to face him and ask if he wants to go another round. But before he could say a word, a shuriken flew by me. I looked for where it came from and saw a very determined Sasuke. I give him a quizzical look before walking over to him and asking. "what do you want?" He looked at me as if he was ready to take all my hard gains for himself and asked me. "teach me how to do what we're doing right now."
I look at them for a second before saying, "I could, but you wouldn't be able to learn it in time. Plus, there's a step you need to learn before learning what we're doing, but it's just as helpful so I can teach you. But I'll say this if you start learning it now, he won't be ready for the test when it starts, especially since you have not eaten this morning, so if you want to learn it, you can meet us after the test. I'll teach you, but you'll owe me something in return. "all right."
He looks hesitant for a second but eagerly says, "Fine! Whatever it takes to get stronger." I look at him for a quick second, taking his last words in, and wonder if he truly understands the meaning behind those words. But before I go back to training, I tell him. "you should not waste your time and keep practicing your normal routine before our sensai arrives. Don't push yourself; do something light and nothing that will push you over the edge. Just to get warmed up for what is to come." getting me a typical Sasuke grunt but with a nod of his head before he goes back and starts training.
Finally, three hours pass and Kakashi finally arrives, giving us some lame excuse for running into a black cat and having to take a long way around. He goes into an explanation of why we're here. He pulls out two bees and attaches it to his hip. He explains that we have to gain possession of these bells to pass. Those who possess the bell at the end of the exercise will pass, and those who don't will be sent back to the Academy. This visibly shocks the other three, but I only pretend to have a slight visible shock to it.
He gives us a countdown before the test starts, sets the clock on one of the three stumps, and says we have till 12 o'clock to finish this test. Then, count down audibly, "10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1." At 10, everyone panicked, but at 8, everyone, including me, scattered into the nearby woods. By the time he reaches 1. the only people still standing in the field are Naruto and Kakashi. I'm not disappointed. I was expecting it. Despite what we have done in the past month, Naruto is still Naruto and wants to challenge Kakashi head-on.
Naruto pulled out a kunai before charging at Kakashi with the full intent to kill. Now, I'll say this: the fight was much better than the one in the show. He was manhandled left and right, but Naruto still handled himself pretty well; he got really close to grabbing the bells multiple times by himself before he started introducing colones into the mix. Knowing things were getting a little out of hand, Kakashi began to ramp it up and show his true skills. I didn't see Kashi going for a very familiar move, 1000 fingers of death, but it doesn't turn out like in the show. Naruto still goes flying, but instead of the scream, Naruto lets out a loud moan from Kakashi hitting Naruto's very hard but firm butt plug, causing it to vibrate and enlarge at the same time before sending him flying. Then Kakashi looked at his fingers, wondering what he hit that was so solid.
Naruto ended up landing back in the river and ended up washing up downstream before laying low, hoping to strike again. Kakashi wandered around the training field, searching for his next prey, eventually coming across an ambush attack from Sasuke. This fight played out pretty much, just like the show getting pretty close once or twice, looking like he was pushing Kakashi back, but he finally ended up being buried in the ground with just his head poking out. Next was Sakura. Now, I didn't see this one, but based on her scream, it played out just like this show.
Now, I knew it was my turn next, but I knew no matter what I did, I was never going to win. Even with all my cheats, I was no match for Kakashi. But I faced him head-on and gave it my full effort. We started out with taijutsu. Only knowing my basic taijutsu, I wasn't able to break through his guard, but when I surprised him with a fireball or two, I was able to attempt to grab the bells, but he ended up kicking me in the face, sending me flying towards the river, recovering, I slide across the water before pulling my sword and engaging and a weapon fight. He pulled out Kunai before engaging in another fierce battle against which I was not much, especially since I had just started learning how to use the sword. It felt like we had been fighting for hours, but honestly, it's probably only been minutes, and I'd never been pushed this hard; even fighting Iruka, a chunin, didn't feel this hard.
Wow, I eventually let myself get thrown away again, aiming for the ground, well, mid-air form, forming another string of hand signs. Kakashi goes on edge, expecting another fireball, but the moment I touch the ground, I disappear, surprising Kakashi, for he realized I had just escaped. I came out of the ground about 500 feet from where I hid behind a thick tree bush. I see Naruto, still recovering from his last belt with Kakashi. He looked both exhausted and extremely horny, realizing that his plug was still vibrating, keeping him in a constant horny state pharmacy and turning it off, and placing his plug back to its normal state.
Naruto finally looks relieved but is still extremely frustrated, especially since he is leaking through his cage, which puts a wet spot on his shorts and drips onto the ground. I walk up and slap them on the ass as hard as I can before telling him. "pull yourself together. We only have about two hours before we all fail." he stands up with an extremely red face and tells me. "I know that, There was nothing I could do when It was constantly vibrating."
"Naruto, if we want to pass, we will need all of us, not just you and me. All of us, Sasuke and Sakura, were included in fighting with Kakashi together. It's the only way we can win. I know it's going to be hard. I know both of them aren't the most trustworthy people to work with. Still, if we want to win and become true ninjas, we must work together to accomplish a singular goal: get the bells, no matter the cost. Think about it: if we were given a mission to get a scroll, does it matter which team member gets the scroll back to the village? No, what matters is the scroll does get back. It's not about who gets it back, right?"
Naruto takes a few moments to think over my words before wholeheartedly agreeing reluctantly as he is. "But how are we going to do it? I like soccer, but she has openly stated that she hates me. And Sasuke, well, he's just Sasuke. He's not the epitome of teamwork. So what are we going to do?" I give Naruto a mischievous grin before pulling him in close and whispering to him exactly what we will do.
Now, if this was just Naruto, it probably wouldn't work, but I got Naruto to recruit Sakura by playing on her feelings for Sasuke, basically implying that if she works with us, Sasuke would like her more. Which works like a peach. Sasuke was more challenging but still doable. All it took was a new skill that he wanted to learn.
So, with the whole team working together, we set up a good bush spot and waited for Takashi to walk into it. I feel like he knew it was an ambush from the start because he waited until the last 30 minutes on the timer before stepping into it, which meant we had to move fast. We were fighting the clock as well. Naruto goes first as a destruction. Using his clones to put pressure on Kakashi with Sakura, providing long-distance support with throwing stars. Finally, I struck when Naruto put him in an awkward position from the right and Sasuke from the left, who launched a fireball the size of a small boulder At Kakashi. I came out with my sword from the right. Kakashi ended up substituting with a log, putting me in the path of Sasuke's fireball. I adjusted and used chakra on my sword to cut the fireball in two, then formed hand signs and launched fireballs into the nearby tree, forcing Kakashi back into the battlefield. Sasuke rushes him with Naruto with Sasuke's hair away from grabbing the bells; Kakashi increases his speed, both of them as hard as he can, knocking them both into the stumps in the ground, but just as he struck them, I came in from above and landed or reverse, chop on his shoulder, since he was unable to avoid took a direct hit. He shrugs it off like he didn't even feel it before grabbing my wrist and slamming me into the ground, but he slams his foot into my chest. Acuna flies by his waist, causing a jingle to occur as the bells fall from his waist. I go through a quick set of hand seals before launching three fireballs point-blank at Kakashi, causing him to retreat and allowing me to grab the bells just as the clock rings, giving us a complete win. Thanks to Sakura, well timed Kunai chopping the string to the bells.
We receive congratulations from Kakashi, but then he asks, "So you got the bells impressive, so what are you going to do with them?" I stand up and toss the bells to both Sasuke and Sakura and tell them, "Just like I promised, I would get you the bells." Kakashi looks towards Naruto, expecting him to complain, but when he sees Naruto, he just has his arms behind his head with a big smile, showing his trust in my decision, knowing that whatever I decided was most likely right. And I personally can see the struggle on both Sakura and Sasuke's faces, realizing that without all of us, there is no way we were going to get the bells, and of all of us, the person who truly deserved it was me for bringing it all together they both walked up to me and hand me my bells back.
I give them a confused look and take the bells back before I hear a giant laugh and Kakashi saying. "congratulations, you're the first team to pass this test with flying colors. I'm looking forward to what you all can accomplish."
