I hope this doesn't suck.
Naruto was lazily lying down on a tree branch. He was also in the bushes, in some other trees and fighting Kakashi all at the same time. That’s right, he was using shadow clones.
Kakashi didn’t really look fazed, taking out the clones with ease, what he didn’t expect was for none of them to turn out to be the blonde Uzumaki.
Interesting… Kakashi thought.
Naruto knew Kakashi was a top dog, he could just tell by looking at him. He also knew that the three of them couldn’t even come close to beating the lazy bastard, so what was the plan?
A lightbulb flickered over Naruto’s head and he did the thing where he hits his palm with the side of his fist when he gets an idea. You know what I mean.
“SASUKE!”
Naruto called out to the Uchiha.
“IT’S A TEST, WANNABE JACK FROST WITH THE PORN ADDICTION IS TESTING US!”
Sasuke sat there for a minute, dumbfounded. First, by the sudden shouting, second, by the information given to him all of the sudden.
Sadly, Sakura had already been taken out by previously mentioned Jack Frost wannabe. She couldn’t get in on the boy’s scheme.
Sasuke felt someone tap his shoulder, he whirled as quietly as he could to find a shadow clone behind him.
“Here is the plan.”
Sasuke nodded, before striking out at the clone and, not quite yelling but firmly saying, “I’d never work with you, you idiot.”
Then, he jumped out of the bushes and promptly started fighting Kakashi.
Just as Kakashi jumped out of the way of the fireball jutsu, Sasuke threw a kunai. He missed a bit wide.
He threw another as Kakashi dodged them, he kept missing.
“Wow. For the Rookie of the Year, you sure have terrible aim.” Kakashi taunted the Uchiha boy.
Sasuke just grunted and kept throwing the kunai and once he ran out, he went back to fighting with all of his might.
After a few more minutes of fighting, Sasuke was, once again, caught between a rock and a hard place, underground with only his head peeking out.
Naruto’s clone walked up to him then.
“Dayum, Uchiha. Not even 5 minutes.” Sasuke grunted in response. Naruto just sighed and pretended to walk away. Right as Sasuke called out for him, he stomped his right foot down on the ground and Sasuke flew out of his little hole and landed on his feet.
The two traded a nod.
Kakashi watched the two and wondered what they were up to. The genin were bickering not too long ago.
Kakashi popped out of his spot into the middle of the woods by the tree. Sasuke fled the scene, not ready to go another round, but Naruto stuck around.
Kakashi eye-smiled at him, internally laughing at the genin who thought he could take him all alone.
Naruto slightly smiled as well. Then, he rushed forward to Kakashi.
Left. Right. Kick. Uppercut.
Naruto was pressing Kakashi, though Kakashi was blocking all of the attacks, he was being pushed back. Right into where Naruto wanted him.
Then, all of the sudden, Naruto stopped pushing forward and stopped.
He let out a whistle and there were suddenly a lot of shadow clones coming out, Naruto also started producing a bunch and once they were all made, they stared menacingly at Kakashi.
“Well, this is a surprise. 0 times 1,000 is still zero, though.” Kakashi said, laziness tinting his voice.
Naruto just shrugged, which to be frank, irked Kakashi. He hated how unruffle-able the boy was. Genin were supposed to be high strung. This boy was cool as a cucumber. Kakashi was disgusted.
All of the Naruto’s jumped in at once, almost just as fast as they leaped in, they were eliminated. There was a huge cloud of smoke coming from the clones being made and popped. Then all of the sudden, they were gone.
Kakashi could hear the whistling of kunai coming at him, but there were so many that he had to drop his book and jump to dodge them.
He managed to get out unscathed, almost completely untouched. Kakashi picked up his book and opened it to the last page he was on.
Right as he opened the book, the timer went off.
“Well. It looks like you lost. It seems one of you will have to go without lunch. Since all three of you failed--”
“Ahem.” Naruto cleared his throat. Naruto had his hands shoved in his pockets, his hat was still firmly on his head.
“Yes?” Kakashi asked, confused as to why the boy didn’t seem upset about his team’s failure.
Then Kakashi figured it out.
He heard a faint jingling. Then he saw Naruto pull the bells out of his pockets.
“We were supposed to get these, right?” Naruto asked in his typical unbothered tone.
“Well done. I’m impressed, how did you manage to get the bells?” Kakashi asked, genuinely curious.
Sakura had finally come to.
“What happened? Did we win?” She sounded completely lost, which was to be expected after being taken down by a genjutsu.
“I guess we did.” Naruto shrugged and tossed the bells to her and Sasuke.
“I’m afraid that’s for me to know and you to find out.” Naruto said, settling down with his food.
“Hey. You gave up the bells. You-”
Naruto just stared at him, his gaze creepily icy.
“Ehm.. just...eat.” Kakashi had a chill run down his spine. That kid could give Yamato a run for his money.
Kakashi, since Naruto got lunch, had to give away his to let the two other victors eat, as that was in fact the deal.
Kakashi turned to the little gremlins and said, “You all pass! Congratulations, you three are the first to pass my test. Before I only had drones that wouldn’t see underneath the underneath and would turn against each other. A ninja must see through deception, and that is what you three did. In the world of ninja, those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum.”
Sasuke smirked.
Sakura beamed.
Naruto was out cold.
Right as Sakura was about to smack the boy on the back of his head, he ducked off to the side, managing to evade the blow.
“Eh. What’s the big deal, Sakura? Also, what’s with the hitting?” Naruto asked with a yawn.
Sakura was absolutely fuming at the sleepy boy. She swung out at him again.
Naruto ducked again.
“You done yet?”
“Shut up, you fool! Kakashi-sensei is talking!”
Sakura was absolutely furious, but Kakashi intervened before the girl could explode.
“Thank you, Sakura, but you need to relax. Naruto, pay attention.”
Naruto’s eyes lazily cut to him.
Sakura’s blazing green eyes also returned to him.
“Good job today. You are all now officially genin. Report to me for your first mission tomorrow at 7.”
Then he was gone. A swirl of leaves was left behind him.
“Sasuke! Do you want to go get ice cream to celebrate?” Sakura asked, hopefully. Sadly for her, Sasuke gave her the cold shoulder in favor of walking away after pocketing the bell.
Naruto just laid on his back staring up at the skies, his head empty.
Haha, that cloud kind of looks like a duck...
