The Bell Test
Sakura was glad that the Kaguya mess was done with. She hoped that nothing else would mess with what they now have, peace. Now it was time to see how far they have come since first becoming Team 7 when they were Genin. Unfortunately, that did not happen, Team 7’s luck kicked in once again.
She was buzzing with energy as she stood beside her teammates, ready for action. She would love to show them that she truly caught up to them. They all learned under the Sannin and Kakashi-sensei, well minus Sai, but whatever.
“The rules are simple, you each have to get a bell and the one that doesn’t have a bell will get tied to a post. Anything short of death or serious harm is acceptable.” Kakashi somehow sounded as bored as their first test, despite how great this will be because they got to show him how far they got and how he has helped them so far.
“In the end, the three without bells, including us senseis, will be tied to the trees to up the stakes.” Yamato did this purely to annoy Kakashi-senpai, revenge for all he put the younger through all this time. He should really ask for a raise for all he has been put up through. He’ll ask for one when Naruto is Hokage, as Kakashi would tease him even more, despite the backup of everyone that has dealt with the late scarecrow.
“Make it the ones have to be tied to a tree and dress like Gai for a day” Naruto knew it would make everyone try their hardest. They all shivered in union at the mental image of the hideous green beast. Kakashi almost just froze up at the suggestion of dressing up as his long time rival. Sure, he has gotten less annoying and they got to become really close friends. (I know, Kakashi actually has friends and he admits it. The world is ending)
“Okay.” Kakashi did not expect the stakes to be upped this much. Tenzo and Naruto were being mean, so he stopped them as soon as he could. “We go until sunset and see who has the bells. Okay? Now, 3, 2, 1, Go!” The book reader got lost as Sasuke set off a great fireball at the two senseis. Sai got out his ink beast and went with a charging Sakura to Yamato, who made a barrier of wood to block the flames. Sasuke and Naruto then preceded to find Kakashi.
Tenzo sighed as he saw Kakashi-senpai disappear right after starting the test. He knew it would happen and didn’t have time to ponder as Sai attacked with his bull like beast with Sakura right after it to punch him in the chest. It went like that for awhile as Sakura used taijutsu and Sai ink beasts. He made his own beasts out of wood to counteract Sai’s beasts and dodged Sakura’s punches and kicks. He registered Kakashi at his back and relaxed slightly, glad to have someone he trusted for so long at his back.
Naruto and Sasuke went all out against their sensei, smirking the whole time. It was a matter of time before Naruto pulls out toad sage and tailed beast mode and Sasuke his perfect susanoo. He and Tenzo were lucky Kakashi had both of Obito’s sharingan was fighting them and able to do the perfect susanoo. Sasuke took out his Chidori and attacked, sword at his side once again. At least he was able to cope with the lost arm and Naruto with his bandaged arm. They were fighting well.
‘Rasen-shuriken!’ Naruto attacked and Kakashi used his Kamui once he backed up to Tenzo, feeling safer knowing he had someone he trusted for so long at his back. The two bells clinked together and Kakashi had a random thought of ‘what if Team 7’s luck strikes again?’ before the powerful jutsu covered the forest on accident, seemingly having a mind of its own.
“Kakashi!!” Tenzo was not happy at his senpai. The sixth hokage just had to mess everything up and kill them or more likely send them off on a huge journey.
“Kakashi-sensei, is this ment to happen.” His most obvious student as the forest of death was demolished by the weird twisting light.
“What do you think dobe? He is flailing like an idiot as everyone does when something goes wrong, and they don’t know what is happening.”
“Where’s Ino when you need her?” Sakura wished as Sai help her hand as the light grew on them and threw them into unwished unconsciousness. Tenzo’s plotting of Kakashi’s demise could be hear even into their unconsciousness. Poor Kakashi, even if he deserved it.
