Third POV


"You're all too childish to be Ninja! All three of you are too childish and selfish to become a ninja!" Kakashi insults. Two of the three children were in complete and utter shock. The other one was showing no emotion but anger towards their no-longer Sensei.

"Naruto!" The said kid flinched in surprise. "You were so selfish that you decided to eat all the food so no one else could have it." 

"I needed to ear in order to fight-!" Naruto begins to ramble. Kakashi cuts him off. 

"And let the rest of your teammates starve?" Kakashi shoots back. Naruto looks down, upset with his decisions he made. Kakashi turned to Sakura. Sakura froze in her place on the ground, but she was half ready for hard criticism. 

"Sakura, all you did was follow Sasuke like a lost puppy. When Chinatsu needed help you showed nothing and left her there. Which is the cruelest thing to do! In a real situation, Chinatsu would be dead." Sakura's lip quivered at the mention of someone she knows possibly dying in her hands. Kakashi turned to an emotionless Sasuke. 

"And Sasuke..." Kakashi drawled out. "You were only doing your objective. Which is an up but also a down. You were too focused on one thing that you didn't glance at anyone else who was needed and offered to assist you. You were too childish to work with someone other than yourself." Sasuke glared at Kakashi with pure hatred. 

"Chinatsu-" Kakashi started not know where to stop. Naruto stopped and looked around. "Chinatsu..." He just noticed that she wasn't there. How come he was so blind. "Where is she?" Naruto questioned, stopping Kakashi to say more about her. "Where's Chinatsu??" He was concerned. Did she happen to get hurt while she was fighting Kakashi? 

"She's fine, let me finish," Kakashi assured. Naruto wasn't so sure about it though.  "Chinatsu... did way better than the three of you combined." Kakashi finally finished. All three of them paused in shock. 

"Chinatsu knew the answer to this whole test," Kakashi explained. 

"So, the bells were just a distraction from the actual test?" Sakura put together, "I was going to question it earlier but I didn't want to interrupt you while you were speaking." She explained herself. Kakashi nods. "Yes, they were to put you four up against yourselves to get your own bell. Do you three have any idea what the answer to this whole test is? " Kakashi questions. All three of them stay silent not knowing the answer. Kakashi sighs. Why did I even ask-

"Teamwork! The answer was teamwork, to help each other win all three bells. Chinatsu attempted to work with all three of you but didn't try hard enough apparently. And if you don't know about teamwork then why should I let you be a ninja?" Kakashi questioned. Sasuke was infuriated. All of his life he was set on being a ninja for one reason. To kill his brother. And Kakashi wasn't going to stop him from doing so. 

In a flash, Sasuke was running at Kakashi with an intent to kill. Of course, it didn't go so well. Sasuke went in for a punch and Kakashi sidestepped, grabbing his wrist and pushing him to the ground. Sasuke groaned in pain. Sakura gasped. "Don't squish him like a bug!" Sakura told him, worried for Sasuke. Sasuke struggled to get out of Kakashi's grip but failed. 

"You three seem more mature than Chinatsu, yet she knows what to do in a fight. She knows how to cooperate with a team. I'm not going to pass you three, but Chinatsu." Kakashi thought about it for a while. A burning sensation wrapped around his wrist, stopping from his train of thought. Kakashi got off of Sasuke and looked at his wrist, which is on fire. 

"And as much as I would like to become a ninja, I'm not doing it without my team." A voice rang through the air. The fire around Kakashi's wrist expanded and formed into a humanoid. A certain pink female formed and panted as she held onto Kakashi's wrist. She seemed exhausted and full of dirt head to toe. "Iruka-Sensei told us that we are team seven, all four of us, if they aren't in, I'm not either." She explained. She let go of Kakashi and turned to the duck on the ground, staring at the two in disbelief. 

"And you-"Chinatsu started, "You're a dick," She said as she picked him up by the back of his shirt. 

"Chinatsu!" Naruto called out. Chinatsu turned to Naruto who was tied to a post. "Are you ok? I'm sorry I left you alone, I was too selfish!" Naruto cried. Chinatsu turned to Kakashi and glared at him. That asshole! Making Naruto believe he's selfish! 

Chinatsu walked towards Naruto, "I'm fine, and you're not selfish! You were doing what you thought was right. What are you doing tied up?"

"Chinatsu..." Naruto cried even more. Chinatsu laughed as she burned the rope, "You big baby,"

Once Naruto was freed, he clung to Chinatsu like a koala. "Yep, a huge, big baby," I teased.

"Oh stop it!" Naruto told me as he hugged me tighter. 

"Okay then, how about this." Kakashi started, "I'll give you one more chance. Don't feed Naruto or else you all fail." Kakashi said handing us the three bentos. I hum as I grab mine and open it as Kakashi left us to eat. Chinatsu started drooling at the thought of food entering my mouth. Chinatsu sat down and Naruto let go of her. "Thanks for the food!" She prayed then dug in. Sakura and Sasuke also ate without a second thought. Naruto sat next to Chinatsu and watched her eat the whole thing in thirty seconds. Naruto's stomach growled as Chinatsu swallowed her last piece.

Sakura looked at her food and put the chopsticks down and handed it to Naruto "Here you can have mine, I'm on a diet anyway" Naruto takes it and smiles. "Thank you so much, Sakura-chan!" He dug into the food and Sakura smiled. Sasuke gave his food to Sakura 

Sakura looked at Sasuke in shock. Sasuke turned away. "I wasn't hungry anyway..." He said and Sakura smiled. He's so thoughtful! Sakura thought. "Thank you, Sasuke." Sasuke glanced at her then turned away, again. "Hm," He nodded. 

Kakashi appeared with dark clouds and thunder in the sky. "How dare you disobey my rules! You..." He said in a dark and creepy tone. The four teens shivered in fear, waiting to see what happens next. 

"Pass!" Kakashi said in a more cheerful tone, the dark clouds and thunder going away. Instead, birds were chirping and the sun seemed brighter than before...

"We passed? But why-" Sakura began to question and 

"It doesn't matter Sakura, we passed and that's all that mattered! Let's go somewhere to eat as a celebration! As a team! Kakashi's paying!" Chinatsu shouted. She tackled Kakashi and ran off with him on his shoulders like a sack of potatoes. Due to the height difference, he was basically being dragged instead of carried. "Naruto! Grab Sasuke and meet me where the Raman God works!" Chinatsu shouted as she continued to run. 

Naruto gave her a thumbs up and picked up Sasuke over his head and ran the same way Chinatsu went. "Naruto!" Sakura shouted. "What are you doing? Sasuke's going to fall!!" She worried. "It's fine, Sakura-chan! I got hi-whoah!" He shouted back recurringly before almost dropping him. Sasuke shouts at him, "Put me down, you idiot!" 

"Oof, that won't happen again," Naruto said to himself and continued to run. Sakura was right behind Naruto telling him to put Sasuke down. Sasuke was regretting life. 

Kakashi, on the other hand, isn't ready to be these children's Sensei. Too much work...
