Chapter 7: A new ally

Naruto hurried to lay down his traps, while ignoring Sasuke's shocked face. Sakura just stood there thinking. Naruto said he was not the same, but he is still Naruto. So to be a different Naruto he would have had to go through some serious changes. What am I missing?

Five minutes later Naruto had trapped the entire area. He returned to his teammates. "Okay, we need a plan. Sakura, you got any ideas? I've trapped the entire area and as long as you stay out of the trees you won't trigger any. The ones on the ground will only go off if I make them or if Kakashi's chakra touches them."

Sakura closed her eyes and placed her fingers on her temple. Naruto held back a snort as he saw the resemblance to Shikamarus thinking pose.

"Well, we could use me as bait to lure him over here, and you and Sasuke could back him into the traps. Meanwhile I will recover as fast as I can and take the bells, or at least one of them." she said eyes still closed.

Naruto nodded. It was a simple plan but it should work. He walked over to Sasuke and slapped a seal on him and whispered the effects in his ear. Sasuke nodded a grin ripping across his face. Naruto then walked over to the center of the clearing and deactivated the seal.

Kakashi was surprised when his genin disappeared from his senses. He spread them out farther only to sense nothing. He waited for a few minutes frowning. After ten minutes he was confused. Genin usually would have attacked him by now. He decided to look for them, he didn't wanna have to report them missing. He headed west where he last sensed them and still sensed nothing.

He jolted straight up in surprise as he felt all three chakra signals appear right behind him in different locations. He sensed Sakura first. She looked like she hadn't noticed that her chakra had completely vanished and was calling for Sasuke. Kakashi snuck up behind her and made a few hand-signs whispering the jutsu under his breath.

He watched as she seemed to freeze before letting out a piercing scream and collapsing in a dead faint.

Kakashi shook his head she really was a disappointment to kunoichi everywhere. He suddenly ducked, a foot flying where his head was a second before. He saw a flash of black and gold before he was dodging attacks left and right. He backed up and yelped when with a flash of chakra Kunai came shooting out of the ground. Kakashi attempted to get out of the way but still got nicked in a few spots. No matter where Kakashi seemed to step he had to stay on his toes and even then he was getting hit.

His mask was the only thing unmarked, which wasn't surprising. He was so busy dodging attacks from traps and the two blurs that he didn't notice the bells missing from his waist. As such he was confused as to why the two blurs backed off, heading east. He turned, only to see a pink streak following after them. He looked down and saw the bells missing from his waist.

He took after them, not going full speed because they were genin and he had to give them a chance. He appeared in the clearing where they started the test and saw them leaning against them with Naruto in the middle.

At that moment, it was not retrieving the bells that Kakashi was thinking of, no, he was seeing a team with the potential to be the next Sannin, with Naruto in the middle, Sakura on his left and Sasuke his right.

The three genin stood there, identical smirks on their faces Sakura and Sasuke holding out the bells and Naruto with a Transformed Shadow Clone holding a third.
