Discailer: I do not own Naruto or characters ok. Good. Now on with the story...
Chapter 1
Years ago, there was a clan called the 'Shinjitsu' who reigned with power over all. They say that the Gods had granted them immortality, a blood to be proud of. Soon after, they stood loyal to the invisible beings, but one God didn't like how they were loyal and so they granted them a bloodline, the bloodline of the Devil. At first, they feared that they were somehow related to the roots of all evil, but the Ninja Wars proved them wrong.
The Shinjitsu Clan proved helpless, until they called upon their power, and protected their land. Two ninjas from that clan sacrificed themselves and were proved worthy to be immortal and so the reign continued. The years passed and the next to rule was Shinjitsu Takumi and Shinjitsu Yanagi they are two of the prodigy ninjas ever to be born, Yanagi gave birth to a beautiful child. But, in order to decide the next ruler, she had to give birth to another, and so she did twelve years after.
The daughters grew up loving each other and protecting their mother's land, until their father found out about their power and decided he wanted it for himself, and so he promised the Gods to sacrifice them in his own greed. Takumi killed his wife, since she proved to be a hassle in his plans, the older daughter Saizen, who never let a single tear drop from her eyes since she was born fought with her father and protected her sister, as she promised her mother.
The bloodline of the Devil was her birth right and so she used it, the Eye of Oblivion is one of the many traits the Shinjitsu clan possessed, the eye that allowed to see another person's fear and use it to their advantage. But, Saizen and her sister had a power of their own. The older one activated it without knowing that she did, a power that they called 'Overdrive Technique' a Kinjutsu that many ninjas feared. And so, as she used it, everyone in her clan had disappeared, except her and her sister. The two got separated and promised to find each other as time came and go
"Kairi!!" An annoying voice shouted at the top of their lungs, below Kairi's balcony. "Huh?" Kairi looked up from her book, being engrossed on it for too long, that she had just realized there was only five minutes left before school started.
"I'm coming, Naruto, wait up!" Kairi grabbed her bag and glasses and jumped from her balcony to the ground below. "What took you so long?" Her best friend, an idiot with a kind heart who dreamt of being the Hokage one day asked.
"I was reading," Kairi reply, he rolled his cerulean pupils and dragged her towards the school.
The two of them reached the classroom to see there two decided teammates, a girl with pink hair and green eyes named Sakura Haruno and a guy with raven hair and onyx eyes named Sasuke Uchiha. Both had attitude problems, one was rather addicted to the other and the other one always kept things to himself.
"Where's everybody?" Naruto asked, as he looked around the room, "Are we early?"
"Everybody left with their instructors, even Iruka-sensei left to tend with some business, in the looks of it, our sensei ditched us." Replied Sakura in an annoyed tone of voice. As usual Sasuke remained silent, hey everybody had their secrets.
The four of them waited for a while, until Naruto had it and pulled a chair towards the door, stood on it and placed a board eraser on the entrance.
"Hey, what're you doing Naruto?" Sakura asked, at the blonde troublemaker.
The blonde one grinned and replied, "It's his fault for being late,"
Sakura placed her hands on her waist, "Geez, it's your fault if you get in trouble."
Behind Kairi, Sasuke narrowed his eyes, "A jounin isn't going to fall for an old booby trap like that." Kairi rolled her eyes and kept on concentrating on her reading, 'I didn't know he could talk.'
"Yeah, Naruto you're so stupid!" As usual, Sakura sided with Sasuke during arguments.
A hand was placed on the door, as he began to slide the door, the four genins anticipated what's about to happen, to their surprise the eraser actually fell on the head of a silver haired, masked jounin.
Naruto laughed obnoxiously, "He fell for it, he fell for it!" Sakura blushed in embarrassment and reasoned, "I'm sorry sensei, I tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen to me!"
'For real? Is he really a jounin?' Sasuke thought, apprehensively. "Dude, that was the simplest thing in the book and he fell for it!" Kairi chuckled along with Naruto.
The jounin bent down and picked up the eraser, as the four of them looked at him innocently. "Hmmhow should I say this," He started, "My first impression of you guys is I hate you" All of them deadpanned and felt guilty.
He led the four to the rooftop where they sat on the steps and he talked. "Let's see, why don't you introduce yourselves."
"Introduce ourselves? What should we say?" Sakura asked, Kairi shrugged and waited.
There sensei shrugged, "What you like, hate, your dreams and hobbies, something like that." He replied.
"Hey, hey, why don't you introduce yourself first, sensei." Naruto implied, "Me?" Sensei asked and pointed to himself.
"I'm Hatake Kakashi; I have no intention of telling you my likes and dislikes, as for my dream" He paused and thought for a moment, "I have few hobbies"
Sakura stared at Naruto and Kairi, "So all we found out was his name," Naruto nodded and replied, "Yeah,"
"Now it's your turn," Kakashi announced, "You first," he motioned towards Naruto who sat beside Kairi.
He adjusted his head protector and grinned cheesily, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I like cup ramen, but I like the Ichiraku ramen that Iruka-sensei bought me even more. I hate the three minutes that I have to wait after I put the hot water. My hobby is to eat and compare cup ramens and my dream is to be greater than the Hokages, I'm going to make the villagers recognize my existence!"
Kakashi stared interestingly at Naruto, 'I see. He grew up in an interesting way.'
"Okay next,"
Kairi smiled and looked up, "What's up? My name's Kairi Meilin," she thought for a moment and replied, "I like people who treat me as their equal, I dislike people who think that they're inferior to us, my hobbies are reading, training, sleeping, and eating I guessand my dream is to find this one person that I lost a long time ago, be powerful like Tsunade-hime the great Sannin, and more importantlymake this one person realize my true abilities."
Her sensei narrowed his eyes, 'So she's the second child of Takumi and Yanagi, how interesting.'
He turned to Sakura and she proudly smiled, "I'm Haruno Sakura, I likewell, the person I like is" She paused and stared admiringly at Sasuke, "And my hobby iswell, my dream is to" Again, with the admiring Sasuke and after that she squealed.
"And, what do you hate?" Kakashi asked.
She looked up and grimaced, "Naruto"
Naruto deadpanned, "Eh?!"
'Girls her age must be more interested in love than ninja training, Kairi is no different,' Kakashi thought interestedly.
He looked up and motioned to Sasuke, "Last guy,"
Sakura giggled and stared at Sasuke; Kairi yawned and found something interesting on the ground. "My name is Uchiha Sasuke, there are many things I hate, and there aren't a lot of things that I like." With that said, Sakura's excited demeanor decreased, and Sasuke continued, "Also, I have an ambition that I have no intention to leave as a dream. The revival of my clan, and to killa certain man." After saying that, Sasuke's eyes glinted maliciously.
Naruto looked at Sasuke, fearing his presence, 'I hope he's not referring to me,'
'Sasuke-kun IS so cool,' Sakura thought, as always.
Kakashi narrowed his eyes, 'Just as I thought'
'I'm hungry,' Was the thing on Kairi's mind, obviously the avenger was the last thing she could have thought of.
"Alright, you four have unique personalities, I like that. We're going to begin a mission starting tomorrow." Kakashi replied.
Naruto looked up excitedly, "What kind of mission is that, sir?!" he asked, while saluting the silver haired jounin.
"First, we're going to do something that we five can do," Kakashi replied with crossed arms. "What, what, what, what is it?!" Naruto shouted, to Kairi's annoyance.
"Survival Training"
"Survival Training?" asked Naruto,
"Why are we going to train when it's a mission?" asked Sakura, "We had plenty of training at the academy!"
Kairi sighed, 'I hate running, does he have to punish us more?!' she thought sleepily.
"This is no ordinary training," Kakashi replied to the team's, except Sasuke, outburst.
Naruto raised his hands, "Then what kind of training is it?"
Kakashi merely chuckled while staring at the team, "Hey what's so funny sensei?" asked Sakura, while Sasuke remained silent as usual.
He continued to chuckle and waved his hands, "Well, if I say this, I'm sure you four are going to be surprised."
"Huh?" Kairi, Sakura, and Naruto asked, Kakashi continued while staring seriously at the four, "Out of the 28 graduates, only 9 are going to become Genins, the other 19 will be sent back to the academy. In other words, this training is going to be a very hard test with a dropout rate of 67."
All four of them reacted with a surprised face, except Sasuke, "See, you three are surprised!" exclaimed Kakashi.
"No way! I went to so much trouble, then what was the final exams for?!" Asked Naruto, more like shouted at Kakashi-sensei.
"That? It just picks out those who're qualified to become Genin." Kakashi-sensei replied.
"What?!"
"Anyway, I'm going to determine whether you pass or fail tomorrow at the Training Grounds. Bring your ninja equipment and meet at 5 A.M!"
Naruto twitched and glared at the ground, 'I'm not going to get dropped by a thing like this. I have to make him recognize my abilities, for real!'
Sakura clenched her fist determined to pass, 'If I fail this test, I'm going to be separated from Sasuke-kun. This is a trial of LOVE!'
'Out of 28 Genins only 9 will pass, so one of us is going to get left behind, there's no way that it's going to be me, I worked so hard to get my butt here, I'm not going to let some stupid test bring me down!' Kairi thought as she stared at Sakura amusingly.
Sasuke just clenched his fingers together, knowing that he was determined to pass as well as the others did.
"Now then, meeting over," Kakashi turned around and said, "Oh yeah, don't eat breakfast, you're going to throw up if you do."
At the end of the meeting, Sakura asked Sasuke if they want to go on a date, Sasuke declined, Naruto asked her if she wants to go on a date, she told him he's annoying and went home. And so, Kairi and Naruto were walking home, when he shouted, "I'm SO going to beat Sasuke!" He tried to do some air punches and one hit Kairi accidentally, making her glasses break into millions of pieces.
"Thanks for breaking my glasses, Naruto, do you know how much this cost me?!" Kairi stared at it on the ground while sighing, "You look like a dork wearing it anyway," Naruto replied diligently. "Whatever," As Kairi walked towards the Ichiraku to meet up with Iruka-sensei she bumped into a huge thug; a guy who's been failing the exams six years on a row.
"Watch it!" He shouted dangerously, Naruto narrowed his eyes at the bully and was ready to tackle him when Kairi stopped him.
"You watch it Cole, you stupid oaf!" Kairi whispered while glaring back at him.
"Kairi, wow, you look so pretty without your glasses," He replied as Kairi shrivel her nose in disgust. He looked into her eye, and she unexpectedly made him immobilized. He dropped onto the ground while shouting random apologies. The townspeople looked at him and whispered among themselves, "That boy went mental," some said. But they failed to notice the newly fashioned snake eye that traced Kairi's pupil, a sign that her Doujutsu just activated, the Eye of Oblivion.
Sasuke stares out at his new teammates which of course he thinks that they all are a burden. First of all there was Naruto, dead last, during the exam. Secondly comes Haruno Sakura, a girl who fancies him beyond reasons. And then Kairi Meilin, bookworm, first time he saw her; she was reading a book. But Sasuke was more curious on why she wants to unlock the secrets of the Devil Bloodline of the Shinjitsu Clan. Kairi was ranked number one female ninja. To Ino's annoyance, Kairi came first and then Ino, thirdly was Ten Ten.
"Where is Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto shouted. He then got that stupid smug look on his face and grabbed the book Kairi was reading.
"Naruto! I was reading that!!" She exclaims, her hair covered most of her face. She then performed hand seal and techniques and mumbled; "Kanashibaei-" She didn't get to finish since Naruto tossed the book to her.
"Arigatou!" She then went back to reading, Sasuke caught the title of the book and it was one of those Illusionary Jutsus.
It was 9:00 in the morning 4 hours since Team 7 arrived and Kakashi-sensei still hasn't arrived.
"I'm so hungry.." Naruto exclaims.
Sakura kept staring intently at Sasuke.
Kairi was still basically reading.
2 hours later, "He's here," Kairi spoke. And out comes Kakashi-sensei.
"Right!" He then holds two bells infront of his face.
"Your first task, is to be able to retrieve these two bells from me. Whoever cannot retrieve one of the bells will not be able to eat lunch." Naruto however attacked him head on. Foolish move, Kakashi dodged him easily.
Everyone is now hiding, except Naruto. He is attacking, supposedly, fair and square. Kakashi teaches Naruto the first ninja lesson. It is called taijutsu, or fighting without weapons. He takes out his book and begins to read to Naruto. Naruto attempts to attack his teacher, but every attack sent is avoided. Kakashi moves behind Naruto. His hands are now in the seal of the tiger position. He performs a ninja technique in the element of fire. He pokes Naruto in the buttocks which sends him flying.
"Naruto!" Kairi exclaimed, she was about to jump to Kakashi but it was a foolish move.
Naruto performs a mass shadow replica, forming seven clones. All of the Naruto's attack Kakashi at once. One of the replicas caught Kakashi from behind. The sensei was quickly able to change places with the replication of Naruto. Naruto notices a bell lying on the ground. He runs over to retrieve it. Instead of retrieving it, he is caught by a trap. The trap made Naruto, whose foot was tied by a rope hang upside down underneath a tree. As Kakashi lectures Naruto on his movement, Naruto throws ninja stars at him, the sensei flies backwards as it appears he has been struck and injured!
Kairi sensed no chakra on the person that Naruto attacked. "A replacement?" She mumbled.
Naruto was caught by Kakashi and was tied with a rope, Sasuke caught this as an opening and went head to head with Kakashi.
Upon impact Kakashi goes flying and everybody thinks he was caught off guard, but it turns out he used the replacement jutsu and is safe from harm. Knowing he was tricked, Sasuke runs away, knowing he has been found out. Sakura follows suit and retreats wondering about sasuke's safety. She finds Kakashi in a small clearing and thinks that she is safe, but Kakashi is right behind her. She screams and the scene changes to Naruto trying to cut the rope he it tethered too, he succeeds only to fall onto another trap.
After a flurry of leaves, Sakura is seen with a blank look. When she comes too see looks around and hears Sasuke's voice. As she turns to see where Sasuke is, she looks horrified as Sasuke's body is bloody and impaled by kunai and shurikans. She screams, then faints. It was really a Genjitsu performed by Kakashi to make her think Sasuke was hurt. Having a short discussion and a stand off, Sasuke and Kakashi begin fighting and Sasuke succeeds in touching a bell but not in attaining one.
"He's very skilled," Kairi thought. As she watched Sasuke who got attacked by Kakashi and now was on the ground, his body was no where to be seen, and his head was sticking out.
'Now!' Kairi jumped out of the trees and performed hand seals.
Kakashi appears behind Kairi and grabs something that was of course something important.
'No! That book has the marks of where the Devil Bloodline researches were found. If he finds out, I'm toast.' Kairi thought.
"Kanashibari no Jutsu!!" Kairi shouted, Kakashi evades the jutsu and was about to use Doton Shinjuuzanshu but Kairi quickly evaded it.
A series of Kunai flies past Kairi and pins her to a nearby tree.
"Shimatta!" Kairi shouted.
Kakashi soon disappears and Kairi was stuck with Sasuke and the tree.
Kairi struggled violently on the tree.
"That won't work," Says the Uchiha boy.
Kairi quickly closed her eyes, and each and every Kunai drops to the ground releasing her.
"Telekinesis, it's helpful, you should learn about it." Kairi threw Sasuke a smug look.
Sakura then comes out of the bushes and faints once she sees Sasuke's head on the ground.
"Maybe, I should dig you up before she faints again." Kairi mumbled and started helping Sasuke up.
'Naruto,' After helping Sasuke up, Kairi quickly ran over to where she left him and hears the bell ring; The students gather only to have Kakashi tell them that they should quit being ninjas.
"I'm going to pass this test," Naruto exclaims.
Sasuke proceeds to attack Kakashi but he defends and pins Sasuke to the ground.
"Teamwork, Sakura, you were only worried about Sasuke while Naruto was obviously in trouble right infront of you! Naruto, you were so obssessed with food that you weren't able to defend yourself and that was basically all you could think about. Sasuke, you obviously did not care for any of your teammates, and you," Kakashi stared at Kairi, causing her to lower her head, "only worried about your stupid book, you left Sasuke and Sakura to rescue Naruto." He then leaves, before warning the four that if they feed Naruto, they all will fail.
Kairi started eating, feeling a little bad about her actions.
'He's gone,'
"Here, eat it," Kairi exclaimed and shove a food on Naruto's mouth.
"Kairi, didn't you hear what Kakashi-sensei said!" Sakura warns.
"Well, if you think about it, we are a team, one for all and all for one. If Naruto does not eat, he will fail to do his job during the second task. Therefore it will be our fault that he and us will fail."
Sasuke, hands over his box to Naruto and Sakura makes up some lame reason on why she's handing out her food.
But just as Naruto starts eating, there is a huge explosion and Kakashi appears. He tells them that they broke the rules and to prepare for punishment. Kairi argues with him and tells him that the four of them are one, hearing this he tells Kairi, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke that they have passed the test.
"How..?" Kairi questions.
"Ninjas need to think beyond the normal, in the world of ninjas, those who break the rules are called scum, but those who don't take care of their friends are even worse scum." Having said those words, Kakashi tells Team 7 that starting tomorrow missions will begin. Kairi brings out a Kunai and cuts Naruto's rope.
"We passed!!" He exclaims, and hugs Kairi. While running in circles, Kairi gets dizzy and falls, but someone caught her and she looks up and sees Sasuke.
Kairi quickly stood up, "Thanks,"
Kairi realized something was missing,
"Kakashi-sensei!?" She shouted.
"My book please?" Kairi muttered.
"No, this book is confiscated." He says and gives Kairi a sleepy look.
"Then that means you don't want this back?" Kairi says as she holds his Ichi Ichi Paradise up.
"How'd you? Fine," He tosses Kairi her book and she gave him his.
"You were able to grab my book with ease, why didn't you do it with the bell?"
"Even if I did, you wouldn't have let me pass." Kairi replyed calmly.
"What jutsu is this?" Naruto asks.
"You don't remember? It's Kawarimi no Jutsu! While Kakashi was busy with Sasuke, I tried to grab a bell, but instead I grabbed his book by mistake."
Naruto laughs and begins to talk to Sakura. While Kairi kept on reading her book walking alongside Sasuke.
'Good thing the Karuto no Tayori wasn't discovered.' She thought.
"What're you reading?" Asks Sasuke.
"Illusionary Jutsu!" Kairi exclaimed, hoping he didn't catch her extremly nervous side.
"Sasuke-kun? Could you walk me home?" Exclaims Sakura.
Kairi goes over to Naruto, and begins talking to him.
Sakura soon appears behind her with a sad look.
"Why did you say no?" Kairi whispered.
"She annoys me," Sasuke replies.
Kairi rolled her eyes, and begins once again reading.
"Kairi, here," Sasuke tosses her a hairband and she catches it with ease.
Kairi begins tying her hair with it and she managed to mumble a 'thanks'.
He smirks and all of them got treated by Kakashi for Ramen.
(Two Weeks Later)
"Kakashi-sensei! All we've been doing are boring missions! (finding lost cats, picking up garbage, shopping for old people.. etc..)I want more exciting ones!" Complains Naruto.
"Naruto-kun, you shouldn't complain, the people give us money in return for our help." Kairi exclaimed, not looking up from her book.
However, Naruto did not take her advice quite vaguely.
"Whatever, If we do more exciting missions, we get paid a hella amount of money!" Naruto exclaims, Kakashi sweatdrops, Sakura agrees in her mind, Sasuke did not reply and was neither not even interested in the subject, and Kairi did not look up from her book to reply to Naruto's complaints.
As they reached the Hokage's office to report from the mission they succeded.
With the mission a success, the Hokage reads Team 7's next missions, which consist of babysitting, grocery shopping at another town, and helping dig up potatoes. Naruto promptly refuses in grand Japanese style with a big X style arm motion, complaining that he wants to do more exciting missions. Both Sasuke and Sakura agree in their minds, Kairi however did not care. Iruka-sensei then gets annoyed and reprimands Naruto for his outbursts. Naruto, still complaining, takes a well placed knock on the head from Kakashi to shut him up.
The Hokage then proceeds to lecture Naruto on what the job of a ninja really is and that jobs range from babysitting to assassinations. He then explains the ranks of the jobs they're in."A" type missions being the most difficult and dangerous, they are left to the Jounin or elite class of ninjas, like the Hokage and Kakashi. "B" type missions are in the mid range and are preformed by the Chuunin or commoner class of ninjas like Iruka. "C" type missions can be done by both Chuunin and Genin or cadets. "D" type missions are the easiest and there for best suited for genin class ninjas. Each class brings a certain cost to the client and is there for revenue for the village". Having finished his rant, Kairi and the others are paying no attention to the Hokage at all and Naruto is talking about what ramen he is going to eat tonight.-.-
The hokage yells, yet undaunted by the verbal thrashing he just received, Naruto stands his ground, saying that he is no longer the child prankster he once was, turning his back holding his breath like a kid. Understanding how he feels, the Hokage decides to give the team a C rank mission. The mission is to escort a certain person.
"Come in," Hokage-sama said.
The door slides open to reveal an old man drinking sake out of the bottle,
"Are you sure these brats are able to do the job. The short one with the obnoxious smile looks untrustworthy." He coments.
They all line up and compare there heights, Sasuke was the tallest, Kairi was an inch taller than Sakura, and Sakura was taller than Naruto.
"What?!? Old man your gonna die!" Naruto about to punch the guy but was held back by Kakashi.
He then introduces himself as Tazuna, an expert bridge builder and states that the job is to get him safely home and protect him till the bridge he is building is done.

"Huh?" Kairi, Sakura, and Naruto asked, Kakashi continued while staring seriously at the four, "Out of the 28 graduates, only 9 are going to become Genins, the other 19 will be sent back to the academy. In other words, this training is going to be a very hard test with a dropout rate of 67."
All four of them reacted with a surprised face, except Sasuke, "See, you three are surprised!" exclaimed Kakashi.
"No way! I went to so much trouble, then what was the final exams for?!" Asked Naruto, more like shouted at Kakashi-sensei.
"That? It just picks out those who're qualified to become Genin." Kakashi-sensei replied.
"What?!"
"Anyway, I'm going to determine whether you pass or fail tomorrow at the Training Grounds. Bring your ninja equipment and meet at 5 A.M!"
Naruto twitched and glared at the ground, 'I'm not going to get dropped by a thing like this. I have to make him recognize my abilities, for real!'
Sakura clenched her fist determined to pass, 'If I fail this test, I'm going to be separated from Sasuke-kun. This is a trial of LOVE!'
'Out of 28 Genins only 9 will pass, so one of us is going to get left behind, there's no way that it's going to be me, I worked so hard to get my butt here, I'm not going to let some stupid test bring me down!' Kairi thought as she stared at Sakura amusingly.
Sasuke just clenched his fingers together, knowing that he was determined to pass as well as the others did.
"Now then, meeting over," Kakashi turned around and said, "Oh yeah, don't eat breakfast, you're going to throw up if you do."
At the end of the meeting, Sakura asked Sasuke if they want to go on a date, Sasuke declined, Naruto asked her if she wants to go on a date, she told him he's annoying and went home. And so, Kairi and Naruto were walking home, when he shouted, "I'm SO going to beat Sasuke!" He tried to do some air punches and one hit Kairi accidentally, making her glasses break into millions of pieces.
"Thanks for breaking my glasses, Naruto, do you know how much this cost me?!" Kairi stared at it on the ground while sighing, "You look like a dork wearing it anyway," Naruto replied diligently. "Whatever," As Kairi walked towards the Ichiraku to meet up with Iruka-sensei she bumped into a huge thug; a guy who's been failing the exams six years on a row.
"Watch it!" He shouted dangerously, Naruto narrowed his eyes at the bully and was ready to tackle him when Kairi stopped him.
"You watch it Cole, you stupid oaf!" Kairi whispered while glaring back at him.
"Kairi, wow, you look so pretty without your glasses," He replied as Kairi shrivel her nose in disgust. He looked into her eye, and she unexpectedly made him immobilized. He dropped onto the ground while shouting random apologies. The townspeople looked at him and whispered among themselves, "That boy went mental," some said. But they failed to notice the newly fashioned snake eye that traced Kairi's pupil, a sign that her Doujutsu just activated, the Eye of Oblivion.
Sasuke stares out at his new teammates which of course he thinks that they all are a burden. First of all there was Naruto, dead last, during the exam. Secondly comes Haruno Sakura, a girl who fancies him beyond reasons. And then Kairi Meilin, bookworm, first time he saw her; she was reading a book. But Sasuke was more curious on why she wants to unlock the secrets of the Devil Bloodline of the Shinjitsu Clan. Kairi was ranked number one female ninja. To Ino's annoyance, Kairi came first and then Ino, thirdly was Ten Ten.
"Where is Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto shouted. He then got that stupid smug look on his face and grabbed the book Kairi was reading.
"Naruto! I was reading that!!" She exclaims, her hair covered most of her face. She then performed hand seal and techniques and mumbled; "Kanashibaei-" She didn't get to finish since Naruto tossed the book to her.
"Arigatou!" She then went back to reading, Sasuke caught the title of the book and it was one of those Illusionary Jutsus.
It was 9:00 in the morning 4 hours since Team 7 arrived and Kakashi-sensei still hasn't arrived.
"I'm so hungry.." Naruto exclaims.
Sakura kept staring intently at Sasuke.
Kairi was still basically reading.
2 hours later, "He's here," Kairi spoke. And out comes Kakashi-sensei.
"Right!" He then holds two bells infront of his face.
"Your first task, is to be able to retrieve these two bells from me. Whoever cannot retrieve one of the bells will not be able to eat lunch." Naruto however attacked him head on. Foolish move, Kakashi dodged him easily.
Everyone is now hiding, except Naruto. He is attacking, supposedly, fair and square. Kakashi teaches Naruto the first ninja lesson. It is called taijutsu, or fighting without weapons. He takes out his book and begins to read to Naruto. Naruto attempts to attack his teacher, but every attack sent is avoided. Kakashi moves behind Naruto. His hands are now in the seal of the tiger position. He performs a ninja technique in the element of fire. He pokes Naruto in the buttocks which sends him flying.
"Naruto!" Kairi exclaimed, she was about to jump to Kakashi but it was a foolish move.
Naruto performs a mass shadow replica, forming seven clones. All of the Naruto's attack Kakashi at once. One of the replicas caught Kakashi from behind. The sensei was quickly able to change places with the replication of Naruto. Naruto notices a bell lying on the ground. He runs over to retrieve it. Instead of retrieving it, he is caught by a trap. The trap made Naruto, whose foot was tied by a rope hang upside down underneath a tree. As Kakashi lectures Naruto on his movement, Naruto throws ninja stars at him, the sensei flies backwards as it appears he has been struck and injured!
Kairi sensed no chakra on the person that Naruto attacked. "A replacement?" She mumbled.
Naruto was caught by Kakashi and was tied with a rope, Sasuke caught this as an opening and went head to head with Kakashi.
Upon impact Kakashi goes flying and everybody thinks he was caught off guard, but it turns out he used the replacement jutsu and is safe from harm. Knowing he was tricked, Sasuke runs away, knowing he has been found out. Sakura follows suit and retreats wondering about sasuke's safety. She finds Kakashi in a small clearing and thinks that she is safe, but Kakashi is right behind her. She screams and the scene changes to Naruto trying to cut the rope he it tethered too, he succeeds only to fall onto another trap.
After a flurry of leaves, Sakura is seen with a blank look. When she comes too see looks around and hears Sasuke's voice. As she turns to see where Sasuke is, she looks horrified as Sasuke's body is bloody and impaled by kunai and shurikans. She screams, then faints. It was really a Genjitsu performed by Kakashi to make her think Sasuke was hurt. Having a short discussion and a stand off, Sasuke and Kakashi begin fighting and Sasuke succeeds in touching a bell but not in attaining one.
"He's very skilled," Kairi thought. As she watched Sasuke who got attacked by Kakashi and now was on the ground, his body was no where to be seen, and his head was sticking out.
'Now!' Kairi jumped out of the trees and performed hand seals.
Kakashi appears behind Kairi and grabs something that was of course something important.
'No! That book has the marks of where the Devil Bloodline researches were found. If he finds out, I'm toast.' Kairi thought.
"Kanashibari no Jutsu!!" Kairi shouted, Kakashi evades the jutsu and was about to use Doton Shinjuuzanshu but Kairi quickly evaded it.
A series of Kunai flies past Kairi and pins her to a nearby tree.
"Shimatta!" Kairi shouted.
Kakashi soon disappears and Kairi was stuck with Sasuke and the tree.
Kairi struggled violently on the tree.
"That won't work," Says the Uchiha boy.
Kairi quickly closed her eyes, and each and every Kunai drops to the ground releasing her.
"Telekinesis, it's helpful, you should learn about it." Kairi threw Sasuke a smug look.
Sakura then comes out of the bushes and faints once she sees Sasuke's head on the ground.
"Maybe, I should dig you up before she faints again." Kairi mumbled and started helping Sasuke up.
'Naruto,' After helping Sasuke up, Kairi quickly ran over to where she left him and hears the bell ring; The students gather only to have Kakashi tell them that they should quit being ninjas.
"I'm going to pass this test," Naruto exclaims.
Sasuke proceeds to attack Kakashi but he defends and pins Sasuke to the ground.
"Teamwork, Sakura, you were only worried about Sasuke while Naruto was obviously in trouble right infront of you! Naruto, you were so obssessed with food that you weren't able to defend yourself and that was basically all you could think about. Sasuke, you obviously did not care for any of your teammates, and you," Kakashi stared at Kairi, causing her to lower her head, "only worried about your stupid book, you left Sasuke and Sakura to rescue Naruto." He then leaves, before warning the four that if they feed Naruto, they all will fail.
Kairi started eating, feeling a little bad about her actions.
'He's gone,'
"Here, eat it," Kairi exclaimed and shove a food on Naruto's mouth.
"Kairi, didn't you hear what Kakashi-sensei said!" Sakura warns.
"Well, if you think about it, we are a team, one for all and all for one. If Naruto does not eat, he will fail to do his job during the second task. Therefore it will be our fault that he and us will fail."
Sasuke, hands over his box to Naruto and Sakura makes up some lame reason on why she's handing out her food.
But just as Naruto starts eating, there is a huge explosion and Kakashi appears. He tells them that they broke the rules and to prepare for punishment. Kairi argues with him and tells him that the four of them are one, hearing this he tells Kairi, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke that they have passed the test.
"How..?" Kairi questions.
"Ninjas need to think beyond the normal, in the world of ninjas, those who break the rules are called scum, but those who don't take care of their friends are even worse scum." Having said those words, Kakashi tells Team 7 that starting tomorrow missions will begin. Kairi brings out a Kunai and cuts Naruto's rope.
"We passed!!" He exclaims, and hugs Kairi. While running in circles, Kairi gets dizzy and falls, but someone caught her and she looks up and sees Sasuke.
Kairi quickly stood up, "Thanks,"
Kairi realized something was missing,
"Kakashi-sensei!?" She shouted.
"My book please?" Kairi muttered.
"No, this book is confiscated." He says and gives Kairi a sleepy look.
"Then that means you don't want this back?" Kairi says as she holds his Ichi Ichi Paradise up.
"How'd you? Fine," He tosses Kairi her book and she gave him his.
"You were able to grab my book with ease, why didn't you do it with the bell?"
"Even if I did, you wouldn't have let me pass." Kairi replyed calmly.
"What jutsu is this?" Naruto asks.
"You don't remember? It's Kawarimi no Jutsu! While Kakashi was busy with Sasuke, I tried to grab a bell, but instead I grabbed his book by mistake."
Naruto laughs and begins to talk to Sakura. While Kairi kept on reading her book walking alongside Sasuke.
'Good thing the Karuto no Tayori wasn't discovered.' She thought.
"What're you reading?" Asks Sasuke.
"Illusionary Jutsu!" Kairi exclaimed, hoping he didn't catch her extremly nervous side.
"Sasuke-kun? Could you walk me home?" Exclaims Sakura.
Kairi goes over to Naruto, and begins talking to him.
Sakura soon appears behind her with a sad look.
"Why did you say no?" Kairi whispered.
"She annoys me," Sasuke replies.
Kairi rolled her eyes, and begins once again reading.
"Kairi, here," Sasuke tosses her a hairband and she catches it with ease.
Kairi begins tying her hair with it and she managed to mumble a 'thanks'.
He smirks and all of them got treated by Kakashi for Ramen.
(Two Weeks Later)
"Kakashi-sensei! All we've been doing are boring missions! (finding lost cats, picking up garbage, shopping for old people.. etc..)I want more exciting ones!" Complains Naruto.
"Naruto-kun, you shouldn't complain, the people give us money in return for our help." Kairi exclaimed, not looking up from her book.
However, Naruto did not take her advice quite vaguely.
"Whatever, If we do more exciting missions, we get paid a hella amount of money!" Naruto exclaims, Kakashi sweatdrops, Sakura agrees in her mind, Sasuke did not reply and was neither not even interested in the subject, and Kairi did not look up from her book to reply to Naruto's complaints.
As they reached the Hokage's office to report from the mission they succeded.
With the mission a success, the Hokage reads Team 7's next missions, which consist of babysitting, grocery shopping at another town, and helping dig up potatoes. Naruto promptly refuses in grand Japanese style with a big X style arm motion, complaining that he wants to do more exciting missions. Both Sasuke and Sakura agree in their minds, Kairi however did not care. Iruka-sensei then gets annoyed and reprimands Naruto for his outbursts. Naruto, still complaining, takes a well placed knock on the head from Kakashi to shut him up.
The Hokage then proceeds to lecture Naruto on what the job of a ninja really is and that jobs range from babysitting to assassinations. He then explains the ranks of the jobs they're in."A" type missions being the most difficult and dangerous, they are left to the Jounin or elite class of ninjas, like the Hokage and Kakashi. "B" type missions are in the mid range and are preformed by the Chuunin or commoner class of ninjas like Iruka. "C" type missions can be done by both Chuunin and Genin or cadets. "D" type missions are the easiest and there for best suited for genin class ninjas. Each class brings a certain cost to the client and is there for revenue for the village". Having finished his rant, Kairi and the others are paying no attention to the Hokage at all and Naruto is talking about what ramen he is going to eat tonight.-.-
The hokage yells, yet undaunted by the verbal thrashing he just received, Naruto stands his ground, saying that he is no longer the child prankster he once was, turning his back holding his breath like a kid. Understanding how he feels, the Hokage decides to give the team a C rank mission. The mission is to escort a certain person.
"Come in," Hokage-sama said.
The door slides open to reveal an old man drinking sake out of the bottle,
"Are you sure these brats are able to do the job. The short one with the obnoxious smile looks untrustworthy." He coments.
They all line up and compare there heights, Sasuke was the tallest, Kairi was an inch taller than Sakura, and Sakura was taller than Naruto.
"What?!? Old man your gonna die!" Naruto about to punch the guy but was held back by Kakashi.
He then introduces himself as Tazuna, an expert bridge builder and states that the job is to get him safely home and protect him till the bridge he is building is done.
