"Oi Alluka!! Let me go!!!" She wined. Alluka giggled.

"No can do Onee chan." Luna kept walking until she reach Kakashi and he took the bell from Luna.

"Hmm quite a good jutsu, who taught you that?" Kakashi asked Alluka

"Gramdpa and Sasuke- Nii helped me but It was mostly Grandpa"

"Grandpa?"

"She means the Hokage" Luna mumbled.

"Oh that makes sense."

no one pov

"I'm seriously regretting letting you join our test." Luna grumbled and leaned on one of the wooden poles. Alluka giggled and smiled brightly. A loud stomach growl is heard.

"Oh stomachs growling?" Kakashi teased." Oh and about this exercise I've decided I won't send any of you back to the academy." Luna looked at kakashi conspicuous .

" What I passed all I did was faint and fall, do you get points for that?" Sakura questioned. In her mind she was super happy,' CHA LOVE BEATS ALL'

"THAT MEANS ALL THREE OF US!"

"Hn"

"Yes I've decided all of you... will be dropped from the program." A look of pure shock and rage crosses the 4 young soon to be ninja.

"DROP US FROM THE PROGRAM! THAT MEANS WE'LL NEVER BECOME NINJAS! YOU SAID IF WE DIDN'T GET A BELL, WE WOULD BE SENT BACK TO THE ACADEMY! YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT! BELIEVE IT!" Naruto screeched.

"Because you don't don't think like ninjas, you think like brats." Sasuke jumps up and ran at Kakashi with a kunai. But he was pinned down in an instant.

"You don't know what it means to be a ninja, you think its a game huh," Everyone stood shocked.

"why do you think we put you on Squads? Did you consider that question for one moment?

"I don't know what you mean?" Sakura stated helplessly.

"I mean you never realized what this exercise was really about, not even close."

"What its about?" Naruto repeated.

" Yes that is what determines whether you pass or fail."

"Wah but Kakashi sensai that what I wanted to ask you in the beginning" Sakura said almost whiny

"Tch use your head three people-in our case four people, on a squad why do you think we would do that?" Kakashi lectured, annoyed at their childish thinking.

" AHH HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHY YOU PICKED THREE PEOPLE! WE DIDN'T MAKE THE RULES DATTEBAYO!" Naruto screamed and Kakashi glared at us.

" Its so basic, teamwork!" The answer hit the genin like a pile of bricks.

"Just working together is that what you mean?" Sakura clarified.

" That's what I mean." 

" Ugh why didn't I think of that." Luna grumbled.

"It's two late now, but If all four of you came at me and Alluka you might have been able to take them." He then lifts his head."Well anyway it's over" A light bulb went over sakura's head.

"Wait a minute, you set it up with four people but only two bells, if we work together and got the bells only to of us would be able to keep them, and that would lead to group conflict and the squad would break up."

"Exactly I purposely pitted you against each other, I wanted to see if you could over come that and put the squad a head of yourselves. A genin should have a natural feel for teamwork. But you it never even crossed your mind." He looks at Sakura.
