Book One:
Deep in the Land of Fire, in the Hidden Leaf Village, the hero Naruto Uzumaki lives. But, what if he had a sister?
Enter Natsumi Uzumaki.
She's your typical twin sister- empathetic, responsible, and willing to do whatever it takes to prot...
"No way!" Iruka breathed as he looked over the book. The Hokage set down his now-empty tea cup and listened. "Kakashi... hasn't passed a single person this whole time..."
"Iruka..." Hiruzen laced his fingers together, bring his hands in front of his mouth as he rested his elbows on the table. "Even I don't know if it's good for those kids to become Shinobi right away... However, Kakashi's past judgments were correct."
Iruka's eyes wandered from the Hokage back down to the book in silence.

"No way!!" Naruto struggled against his restraints and protested. "Quit being Ninja? What do you mean? I mean... It's true we weren't able to take the bells, but why do we have to be told to quit?!"
Kakashi placed both hands on his hips. "That's because you're all squirts who don't have the qualifications to become Ninja."
Sasuke glared and stood abruptly, rushing at Kakashi with a Kunai drawn.
Sakura and Naruto's eyes widened as Kakashi effortlessly redirected Sasuke's attack and pinned him on the ground, sitting on him to hold him in place.

"I'm saying you're squirts." Kakashi repeated, placing his foot on Sasuke's head as he continued to glare menacingly.
"Sasuke!" Sakura kept quiet though her hands were trembling. "Don't step on Sasuke with your dirty feet!!"
Sasuke grimaced as his cheek was pressed to the ground and Kakashi looked up at the other two Genin.
"Are you kids thinking that being a Ninja is easy? Huh?" His eyes narrowed. "Why do you think you're doing this exercise in teams?"
"H-Huh?" Sakura spoke up. "What do you mean?"
"To put it simply..." Kakashi explained. "It's as if you guys have no understanding of the answer to this test."
Naruto frowned. "Answer?"
"Yes. The answer that determines the passing or failing of this test."
"Well... that's... what I've wanted to ask about for a while now." Sakura looked between Sasuke and their Sensei.
"Man, are you guys brainless or what?" Kakashi scoffed and muttered. "Don't you get the meaning of the three-man-squad?!"
Naruto groaned loudly. "Jeez!! What's the deal with three people to a squad?!"
"That's... teamwork!" Kakashi looked between them as their eyes widened.
"Huh?" Sakura replied carefully. "You mean... working together?"
"Exactly. But it's too late even if you realize it now." Kakashi's gaze narrowed. "You might've been able to take the bells if the three of you had come at me at once..." He shrugged. "Well, it's too bad."
