Chapter 16…

"Funny how you have an alarm clock and you can't be on time." Naruto muttered.

"Only the weak bark the loudest and aren't really ready for this life." Kakashi countered.

"I might be loud but I don't need a book to get myself off just because no real woman would go out with me." Naruto returned.

'Ouch.' Kakashi said. That comment was uncalled for. "Anyway, the clock is set for noon. In that time, you must get one of these bells from me. The two who get the bells will become genin while the third is sent back to the academy." Kakashi explained.

'I must get one of those bells.' Sasuke thought with determination.

'This is a proof of love. I cannot fail here.' Sakura said.

'Something doesn't sound right here. I might be getting as paranoid as Anko-oneesan but something doesn't feel right.' Naruto said.

"Now, if you want one of the bells you're going to come at me with the intent to kill." Kakashi said.

"But sensei, won't we hurt you?" Sakura said.

"Really, that's your question?" Naruto asked mockingly. "He's a jōnin." He said while pointing at Kakashi. "We are genin. If you're going to ask any intelligent questions, think about it first." Naruto shook his head and muttered 'top kunoichi, my ass'. Sakura looked ready to blow a gasket so Kakashi decided to cut in.

"I wouldn't worry if I was you Sakura. You all won't even touch me." Kakashi said. After that, he saw that everyone was ready to continue. "Okay then, let us begin." With that, the three kids went to hide. Kakashi gave them a while to hide. He looked into the forest and attempted to find them. 'Sakura needs to work on her hiding spot a little better. Sasuke found a good spot, giving him a chance to attack. Now, where is Naruto? I know that he is pretty stealthy.'

"Hey, Cyclops." A voice called out.

'I could be wrong.' Kakashi faced his blond student. "Compared to the others, you're a little weird."

"You're one to talk. Anyway, let's get this started." Naruto said with confidence. Kakashi nodded and reached into his pouch. Naruto quickly launched several shuriken at the man who was forced to dodge. Naruto rocketed toward Kakashi and threw another barraged of shuriken. Kakashi threw a few shuriken of his own to deflect Naruto's shuriken. Naruto then engaged Kakashi in a taijutsu battle. Kakashi dodged and blocked Naruto's attacks but was impressed with him. He got behind Naruto who was pushed off balance.

"First lesson: Taijutsu. You shouldn't allow anyone to get behind you Naruto." Kakashi said. Naruto turned to see that Kakashi had his hands in the 'tora' seal.

"Naruto get out of there! He's going to destroy you!" shouted Sakura's voice.

"Konohagakure Hiden Taijutsu Ōgi: Sennen Goroshi! (Konohagakure Hidden Secret Taijutsu Technique: One Thousand Years of Death)" Kakashi shouted and poked both fingers into Naruto's butt. The attack sent the Naruto flying in the air, holding his butt. Half way up in the air, Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke. That surprised Kakashi a little. "A Kage Bunshin?" He turned when he heard the sound of flying metal. Kakashi moved out of the way as a rain of shuriken came at him. Suddenly an army of Naruto came out of the forest, armed with kunai. He heard the battle cries and saw the anger in thier eyes. Kakashi readied himself but had to dodge as another Naruto popped out of the ground, swiping at his feet. He caught the wrist of another Naruto and threw him away. The clones converged on him.

Sasuke watched with shock and confusion. What the hell was that technique that Naruto had just used? That wasn't a normal Bunshin (clone) as they were real. He narrowed his eyes and wondered how the dobe knew such a technique. It was giving Kakashi some trouble as it looked like the clones were just as trained as Naruto was. Sasuke was not the only one who was impressed as Sakura couldn't believe what the blond baka had done. Just by looking at the technique, she could tell that it took a lot of chakra to pull off. Both suddenly caught movement and saw that Naruto was moving at a high rate of speed to outflank Kakashi. He skid to a stop and threw two kunai at Kakashi.

Kakashi saw the two kunai and used a clone as a shield. The other kunai he did not pay attention to because it was off the mark. That was until it cut the string to one of the bells. A hand popped out of the ground and grasped the bell. The hand quickly sank back into the ground. Kakashi couldn't believe that he had just gotten played. He quickly dispelled the remaining clones and slammed his hand on the ground. A small rumble later and Naruto came flying out of the ground. Kakashi threw two shuriken that pinned the blond to a tree.

Kakashi watched as Naruto struggled to free himself and released a sigh of relief. He did not expect this from Naruto, Yes, he read the file. Yes, he read the reports. Still, this was not what he expected from the little guy. Maybe he should speak with Anko just to get a look into his true abilities. He walked up to him and took the bell from Naruto.

"Hey, I won that fair and square!" Naruto said.

"True but I never said that I wouldn't try to get the bells back. I'm impressed with what you did. You're probably the first to ever hold a bell, at least in this generation." Kakashi said.

"Okay, what's the deal with this test?" Naruto asked.

"What are you talking about?" Kakashi asked back.

"All this doesn't make any sense. You say that only two people get to be genin, so why did they split us into groups of three. You're also a jōnin. Getting those bells would be impossible. So what the deal behind this exam?" Naruto said. Kakashi was very impressed with Naruto.

"Those are some good points Naruto. How about I give a little question? You're cool with Anko right?" Naruto nodded. "Tell me this, she pretty good but has she ever don't a mission by herself?" he asked. Naruto was confused by this question. He knew that Anko was apprenticed to some guy named Orochimaru. Still, he had met a couple of people that Anko worked with and went on missions with. He needed to think hard about this question, so he needed to get out of this.

"I don't know what your game is but I'm going to figure it out. Until next time." Naruto said and dispelled himself. Kakashi was surprised but not so surprised that he couldn't use the Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique) when Sasuke attacked. He sat on a branch and searched for Naruto. He couldn't find him, which wasn't too much of an issue as Naruto had been hiding from jōnin and ANBU for years. He still couldn't believe that Naruto was this good. He knew the technique that Naruto used and used it perfectly. He wondered what else the boy had in store for this test.

Kakashi decided to test the other two and see what they could do.
