Truth behind Sakura

Chapter 5

I was on my way to the training ground, as sensei said. He said that we must be there at 8 a.m., now it's 9 a.m. I decided that I would go later because yesterday he was late 3 hours. I sighed.

I tied my hair into a high ponytail and left my bangs to frame my face. My daggers were hidden in my boots. They are a perfect fit, neither too small nor too big.

The sun was shining and the birds were chirping.... like in a fairy tale, ne? I came to the training ground and saw Naru-kun and Sasuke there. I went to them and when Naru-kun saw me he jumped and came running up to me.

''You're late!'' he said, I looked around then at him.

''No I'm not, Kakashi-sensei hasn't come yet, which means that I'm not late.'' I said.

''Yeah but....'' I  walked past him and went to the nearest tree. I sat down and leaned back, Naru-kun too came and sat down, and Sasuke was standing near us.

~ An hour later ~

''Ura... Sakura.... Hey, Sakura wake up.'' I opened my eyes and looked to the side. Sasuke woke me up, when my vision sharpened I saw how in fact we were close. I jumped to my feet and from him.

''Oh you're awake now.'' our sensei said before I could say anything. I looked at him and nodded.

''You will now have a survival test, your task is to take this bells from my belt.'' he said, in the air holding two bells. I'm confused, there were two bells and three of us.....

''But sensei there are only two bells and there are three of us.'' Naruto uttered my thoughts.

''True, one of you will not get the bell which means that the one who didn't get the bell failed and will be returned back to the Academy.'' he said. Something doesn't smell right, if the goal is to get rid of one of us.... why did they put us into teams of three? No, something else has to be a catch.

''Those bells are mine!'' Naru-kun yelled, running at Kakashi-sensei. Of course he countered Naru-kun.

''Naruto, you are so impatient I didn't say go.'' he said.

.........

''Go.'' Sasuke and I hid and Naru-kun was left in the open.

''Well at least some of you know how to hide....'' I heard sensei said, I sighed. I hid in a tree. There must be another catch, there is no chance that we, genin who just came out of the Academy can go against a Jonin..... at least not alone. That's it! Teamwork!

I looked at Naru-kun's and Kakashi-sensei's fight and saw that he was gone. Naru-kun was hanging upside down from a tree, I sighed. I carefully descended from the tree and looked around.... no Kakshi-sensei. I ran to Naru-kun and cut the rope with my dagger. Naru-kun fell head first, and I put my dagger away.

''Thank you Sakura-chan.'' he said, and rubbed his head. I looked around looking for our sensei. He's not here. I sighed and held out my hand to Naru-kun. He took it and stood up.

''Naru-kun we must work together.... if we want to get hold of those bells.'' I said.

''Okay Sakura-chan. Lets do it!'' he said and fist pumped the air. I nodded. We jumped to the trees and started to look for Sasuke.

''Okay Naru-kun you find Sasuke and I'll find Kakashi-sensei, when you find him come to me. I'll go north and you'll go the other way.'' He nodded .... then just watched me.

''That way...'' I said and showed the way. After he left I sighed. I continued on through the trees and found a clearing. I jumped down and looked around.
