6- The Test, Part One
Sakura's POV
I woke up to an alarm ringing. I look over and see that it's 5:30. I get up out of bed and get dressed. I kiss Itachi on the forehead seeing that he's still asleep. I walk downstairs to make me something to eat. I see Katara sitting at the kitchen table already and eating. I grin internally. "I thought I said not to eat?" I question her.
"Eh, a ninja has to think for themselves right?" She questions.
I laugh at her slightly. "Well it's good to see that you can do that. Well let's see if you pass my test." I say grinning.
"I know I will, I just hope the others do." She says with a sigh. I nod and sit down after making me some toast and grabbing an apple.
After Katara finishes eating she grabs three apples and heads out the door. I raise an eyebrow at her but she doesn't see since she walked out. I shrug it off and sit around and read for a little while.
After an hour Itachi comes down to get something to eat. "Shouldn't you be at the training grounds giving them their test?" He asks raising an eyebrow.
"Eh, I'll be an hour late. Might as well I mean that is what Kakashi did to us." I say shrugging.
"Whatever, as long as you don't use a lame excuse like he always did." Itachi says after making some eggs and toast.
Someone knocks on the door. I get up and answer it. When I open the door who I see shocks me. "Kakashi? Naruto? Sasuke? Sia? What are you guys doing here?" I ask raising an eyebrow. Itachi appears behind me.
"Looks like you won't have to make up an excuse about being late now. Would you like to come in for breakfast? I just made eggs." Itachi says.
"Hello, Sakura-sama. May we come in?" Kakashi asks. I nod and open the door all the way.
"What can I help you with?" I question.
"I've come here for an alliance and well, they wanted to visit." Kakashi says.
"Of course. An alliance would be good." I say happily.
"Really? I thought you wouldn't make an alliance with Konoha since everyone treated you terribly." Kakashi says.
"Well I wasn't going to for a while but you guys came here, so why not. It would be a good idea." I say shrugging.
Kakashi then pulls out a piece of paper, signs it then hands me the pen and paper. I sigh it and look at the time. "Oh god, Katara's going to flip. I'm really late now." I say sighing.
"She's your daughter." Itachi says.
"Excuse me? We both adopted her." I say glaring at him. "I'll deal with you later." I say as I start to walk away. "Kakashi?" I ask turning around.
"Yeah?" He asks.
"Wanna do the bell test with me?" I ask grinning.
He thinks a minute and follows me. "Yeah, this should be interesting." He says. We walk in silence both of us reading.
"So, I'm guessing you're now the Hokage?" I ask not looking up from my book.
"Yup. I was surprised to learn that you were the Hana no Kage. And that we didn't have an alliance with you, since it was said you were the one who created peace through the nations." He says not looking up either.
"Yeah, well Konoha did me pretty bad. I would have made an alliance sooner but I figured I'd wait a bit longer. I mean it's only been three years since I left." I say shrugging.
"That's understandable." He says and we walk in silence.
Once we get to the training grounds Katara stands up and yells, "YOU'RE LATE!"
"Sorry, sorry, I had to finish an alliance." I say putting my book in my pouch, Kakashi does the same.
"Yo." He say casually.
"Hey! You're the Hokage from Konoha!" Lily exclaims at that they all bow to him.
"Looks like you taught them rather well. But four man teams?" He asks raising an eyebrow.
"Yup, that and the gennin will do c rank missions and the academy students do d ranked ones, that and at the end of the academy before their big test they get paired up with a jounin and they go on a trip outside the gates for a week to see if they have what it takes." I say.
"Impressive." He says.
"Okay on with the test." I say taking out three bells, two silver and a gold one. I hand Kakashi the gold on and put the silver on my belt. "You have until noon to get a bell." I say. "If you don't get a bell you'll be tied up."
"You have to come at us with the full intention to kill us in order to get one." Kakashi says.
Then Katara comes at me with a kunai knife. I grab her hand and point it to her throat. "This seems familiar." Kakashi and I both say. "You came at me with the intention to kill me... good." I say casually.
"Now when we say go, you may begin." Kakashi says.
I set the alarm clock up on a stump. "Ready?" I ask.
The kids get in position. "Set." Kakashi says.
"Go." We both say and the kids take off, except for Katara.
"Come on mom, you and me. Right now." She says with determination in her eyes.
"She's a bit like Naruto isn't she?" Kakashi asks.
"She's like him, Itachi and Sasuke and myself in one." I say sweat dropping.
Katara' POV.
The plans working just as planned. I think to myself. You see after our introductions yesterday we came up with a plan. Although Kakashi showing up wasn't part of it, but we'll take him too.
\flashback\
After mom left we sat there. "What kind of test do you think it is?" Jay asked.
"I bet it's a test to see if we can use team work." I say thinking back to when dad said that teamwork is the key to becoming an amazing ninja.
"Really? Teamwork?" Zain asks annoyed.
"Well yeah, I remember dad saying that, becoming a ninja requires great teamwork." I reply back.
"Sounds to right." Jay mumbles.
"So we should come up with a plan." Lily suggests.
"I agree. I think I should distract her since she's my mom." I say.
"Yeah that's a good idea. You distract her long enough for us to come up with a more detailed plan after we find out the true test." Jay says.
"Well I remember her telling me a story from when she was a gennin, she said that her sensei made them try to get a bell in order to pass although the true test was to use teamwork, the only reason they had passed was because a teammate was tied up and they weren't supposed to feed him but did anyway saying that they were a team and everything like that. Although their teamwork sucked after that, even if they could look at each other and know what to do. It still sucked." I say laughing slightly.
"If it is the bell test, if you guys can distract her I can use my lightning speed to go and get the bells for us." Lily says.
"That would work, but what if there aren't enough?" Jay questions.
"I'd give up my bell for someone." Me and Lily both say.
/end flashback/
I take a kunai out and cut my hand, a blood whip comes out. "Blood manipulation?" Kakashi asks.
"Yeah." Mom says as I slash at her she jumps up. Kakashi jumps backwards.
Mom starts making hand signs. "Earth style: Earth Dragon!" Mom yells.
I jump back and make my own hand signs, " Earth style: Earth wall." I say and slam my hands down. I then hear her laugh from behind me. She kicks me and sends me flying.
Jays POV
Oh my god. I think as I rush to Katara. "Hey are you okay?" I ask her.
"Yeah. Did you guys get the bells yet?" She asks as she stands up slightly wobbly.
"Not yet. Lily's waiting for Zain to create his ice mirrors and me to give the okay." I say as I pick her up and take off towards the others.
Once we get them I see them wait for a minute. Kakashi and Sakura-sensei are just waiting and talking to each other. "Okay Zain. You're up." I tell him and he nods.
Zain's POV.
This is beyond boring. I think. I just need to get stronger. When I do I'll kill Orochamaru. I think growling in my mind.
I walk out to the clearing and activate my eyes. "Ice style: ice mirror trap." I say aloud before they can do anything.
Lily runs up to me. "Will I be able to get in and out?" She asks.
"You should." I say with a shrug.
She sighs and takes off. She runs in really fast and out again with the bells. Jay and Katara come and stand next to us. I let my eyes go back to normal and the mirrors collapse.
"Well won't you look at that." Kakashi says amused.
"They used teamwork." Sakura-sensei says proudly. "Now who will get the bells?" Sakura-sensei asks.
Lily give one to me, Jay, and Katara. Katara gives hers to Lily and Jay gives his to Katara, I give mine to Jay and Lily give hers to me, I give it back to her. Kakashi and Sakura-sensei look at each other as say. "You all pass."
The girls grin and cheer, me and Jay just smirk. The girls make us all hug. "Alright, let's celebrate." Sakura-sensei says.
