A ninja to remember

5.

Teamwork

"Why are there only three bells?" Sakura asked. I snapped from my daze as her annoying high pitched voice cut into my dreams.
"It's because one of you will be sent back to the academy" said Kakashi sensei.
"And also one of you will be tied to a post and watch me eat my lunch" he said, grinning mischeviously.
All three of our stomachs growled, empty of any food. A real growl emits from my throat at the thought of not getting my lunch.

"Three

Two

One

START" he shouted.

Wind whistled through my ears as I leapt into the trees.
"NARUTO?! YOU BAKA HIDE ALREADY DUMBASS" I shouted at him, moving from my hiding spot when he didn't move. 'Seriously this is just fucking amazing' I thought, mentally face palming.

I grabbed his collar and leapt away again. He complained and thrashed as Kakashi stared at an empty spot blankly.
"You idiot (boink) what were you thinking of facing him alone? It's obvious this excersise  is about team work" I whispered to him, as a bump grew on his head.
"I have a plan" I whispered to him. "But we need the others" I told him.

He groaned a bit and followed me as we ran to find the others. The trees flew past us as we leapt on different branches. Sakura was close, her chakra signature was nearby.
"Naruto" I called to him, nodding in the direction of Sakura.

We landed and find that Sakura, being the weird person she is, on the floor asleep. Her hair fanned out around her head.
"Oh" Naruto said as we looked upon the scene before us.
"Let's go, she's not gonna wake up any time soon" I told him, poking Sakuras cheek with my toe.

Next we visited Sasugay. He was buried up to his shoulders in dirt, unable to move from his space.
"Ok, let's work as a pair then" I told him, leaving Asshat to fend for himself.

-time skip-

"Ready?" I asked him. He nodded in confirmation and leapt to the clearing. He stood before sensei, legs spread apart in a V shape. He placed his fingers in the sign for shadow clone.
"You and me, right now fair and square" he shouted, distracting sensei. I leapt behind a tree, concealing my chakra to keep myself hidden as Naruto performed shadow clone technique.

I waited patiently for an opening. 'There'I thought leaping in when his hand was away from his belt. I grabbed two bells signalling to Naruto to finish the fight. He nodded and used substitution, turning into a log and running with me.

We went  into the trees and stayed there, hearing a scream in the process.
"Hey Naruto, dare you to set off that trap without screaming" I told him, pointing to a coil of rope on the floor.

He nodded and jumped from the tree, sneaking up to the rope. He stepped in it and was lifted up, keeping his mouth closed the whole time, but turning red with the effort of holding in his screams.

I giggled and jumped down to free him. As I did so the bell rang and we ran towards the stump to see....

"Sasuke?" Cried Naruto falling to the floor in laughter.
"What did you do?" I asked laughing as well.
"Hey don't patronise my Sasuke" yelled Sakura, as Kakashi came up to us.

"Right you won't be going back to the academy," he said followed by our woops and cries.  "You'll have to give up being ninja" he shouted. That shut us up.

"What?! But but what about our dreams sensei?!" I cried, tears begin to well up in my eyes, making my throat thick. 'What the actual fuck? I worked so hard to get here no way am I giving up' I thought.

"Ugh fine one last chance" he said wandering off.
We sat and ate, hearing  the rumbles from Sasukes tummy.
"Here" I said feeding him.
"Hey I should be the one to do that! Here Sasuke I'm on a diet anyways" said Sakura standing up.

We all began to feed him.

"YOU ANY LAST WORDS?!" Shouted Kakashi.
"Yep, we're a team and we stick together, no matter what" I cried, the others shouting along with me.

"YOU........ Pass"

"EHHHHHH???!!!!"
"Alright, now if you shits don't mind, I'm gonna go catch up on my sleep I lost" I told them, disappearing from their sight and falling onto my bed.
