The next day, Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto arrived at the training ground 7 at 7:00 in the morning.
And Kakashi arrived at 10:00.
"Hey guys, good morning!"
"You are late!"
"Well, a black cat crossed me, so I had to take a different path. And then I got lost on the way of life."
All three's eyes twitched at the lame excuse.
Kakashi took out an alarm clock, and placed it on a stump.
"Ok. It's set for noon."
Then he took out two bells.
"Here are two bells. Your task is to take these bells from me by noon.
Those who can't will not get lunch."
Everyone's stomach growled.
Even though Sakura knew that she shouldn't have skipped breakfast, she wanted to fight on equal terms with Naruto and Sasuke, and test herself to be able to fight properly without food.
"You only need to get two bells. There are two bells, so one of you will definitely get tied to the stump.
And... the person who doesn't take a bell fails.
So, atleast one of you will be sent back to the academy."
"You can even use Shuriken. You wouldn't succeed if you don't come with the intent to kill."
Naruto gloated, "Hey! You are so slow that you can't even dodge a blackboard eraser! We will kill you!"
Kakashi sweat dropped at Naruto's confidence.
"In the real world, those with no talent often bark the loudest. Well, ignore the dead last and start when I say..."
Naruto got pissed at being called Dead Last, and tried to attack him. But Kakshi swiftly twisted Naruto's own hand to point his own kunai at the back of his neck.
"Slow down. I haven't said start yet."
Sakura was surprised by how fast he was. She couldn't even follow his movements properly. And this obviously wasn't Kakashi's top reaction time.
'So that's a Jonin...'
"Well, it seems like you are finally prepared to come at me with the intent to kill. Hmm, seems like I am beginning to like you guys.
Okay, let's get going. Ready...
START!"
As soon as Kakashi started the exam, Sakura and Sasuke hid in the bushed.
'Hmm, they seem to be hiding well. On the other hand...'
"Come and fight me! I said, fight me!"
Sakura sighed at the absolute moron.
'We are ninja, no samurai!'
Kakashi looked at Naruto and said, "Umm, you are a bit off..."
"The only thing off is your haircut!"
Naruto rushed, but Kakashi suddenly entered his hand in his ninja pouch. That made Naruto instinctively cautious and he stopped.
Just then, Sakura threw a barrage of shuriken.
Kakashi easily dodged it, but they suddenly changed their directions.
'Chakra strings!? No genin should be able to make them!'
But, well, Sakura wasn't that skilled at this. The shuriken collided against each other and went into different directions.
Her attack failed.
She knew that it will fail. So it was just a distraction.
Chakra strings from her other hand had already reached the bells.
But just as they touched, Kakashi chopped the chakra strings with some chakraon his hand.
He looked at Sakura's direction in admiration.
'It seems like this year's genins are a bit different.'
Chakra strings this thin and precise at the range needs really impressive chakra control.
"Don't ignore me!"
Naruto announced himself and tried to punch Kakashi.
Kakashi sighed at the idiot and pulled out his secret weapon.
Icha Icha paradise!
"Ninja lesson #1, taijutsu. Why are you just standing there? Come at me."
"Hey! Why do you have a book!?"
"Why? Well, because I want to read what happens next. Don't worry about it. It won't make much of a difference against you guys."
"RAH! I will beat you up to a pulp!"
Kakashi easily dodged him.
"YAAAA!"
Kakashi dodged again, and got behind Naruto. With his hands forming the Tiger Seal.
"Huh?"
"A ninja isn't supposed to be caught from behind. Idiot."
"Hidden Leaf Ancient Supreme Jutsu: Thousand years of pain!"
"GYAAAAH!"
With a really powerful asspoke, Naruto was sent flying.
And then, Sakura came before Kakashi.
"That's sexual harrasment! I am going to complain to the Hokage!"
"...In real world..."
"In real world, it will be known that Hatake Kakashi, the Copy Ninja sexually harrassed his student! And failed the team to make them keep quiet about it!"
"..."
That... will be a big problem...
"Then I will just shut you up the hard way."
Sakura gulped as Kakashi rushed towards her.
This will not be easy.
