Tamashi moved faster. Naruto on her tail as they found Sakura passed out.
"Sakura chan!" Naruto shouted alarmed, Tamashi sighed
"Naruto, get over her. She'll only hurt you"
"No she won't! Sakura-can in beautiful! And smart.. And kind!"
"You may think that Naruto" Tamashi whispered. She then sighed
"Byakugan!" She shouted, her eyes turning white. She then looked around.
"Sasuke and Kakashi are fighting Naruto. Wake her up!"
"Sasuke-kun!!!" Sakura shouted jumping up and hugging Naruto who blushed.. Tamashi sighed
"Ew! Naruto get off! Where's Sasuke-kun!?"
"He's fighting Kakashi.. Sakura, do you know the point of this exercise?"
"No why? and your not even allowed to help! Kakashi-Sensei said so"
"He may be a older brother figure to me but he's not the boss, so you gonna help get a bell so you all can graduate?"
"Y-yeah" Sakura whispered, Sakura then stood up
"Alright, Naruto, you go back to the memorial stone and wait for Kakashi there, Sakura. Wait on the outskirts of the clearing to the north, Sasuke will be at the west and I'll be at east got it?"
"Yeah!" They both shouted running off, Tamashi then sighed
You want them to pass?
"They're a team of capable ninja gyuki... I'll give them an advantage this time. But they can't rely on me to always be there"
Alright then...
Tamashi sighed. Walking away to hear Sakura scream. Tamashi sweatdrop. She then moved forward and found Sasuke searching,
"Sasuke-" the timer then went off.. Tamashi growled "never mind.. I waited for to long" Tamashi whispered teleporting back to the memorial stone where Naruto was tied up, she sighed
"Naruto you do know the whole meaning of a plan is not to get sidetracked with food right? Or go ahead" Tamashi muttered lowering her head... Naruto chuckled nervously
"Uh... Sorry Tamashi-San! But I was so hungry!"
"Yeah yeah" she muttered looking to the memorial stone. She had never lost a family member... An actual one at least..
"Tamashi" Tamashi then looked up as her name was called only to Kakashi with his arms crossed watching her.
"Oh.. Uh.... I didn't do anything swear"
"She tried to help us Sensei! She went against what you said!" Sakura shouted, Tamashi sighed
"Why do they always have to find a way to blame me?" She whispered. Kakashi sighed
"I did tell you not too"
"I tried to help them though! I'm only chunnin! I'm not a jounin!"
"So? You still did go against my orders" Kakashi said aighing, he then patted her head
"But you did try hard.."
"I'm surprised they even agreed.. Well two of them the timer went off before I could ask Sasuke"
"Hmm" Kakashi mutters Tamashi sighs. Sitting down Infront of him and leaning against his legs..
"Nii-San?"
"Hm?"
"When can I qualify for the jounin exams?"
"When the hokage's tells you to.. Or I give you the oportunity"
"Will you?"
"When I see you have enough strength to defeat another chuunin without using the tailed beasts abilities or chakra... You have a lot of chakra Tamashi... And that's only your own"
"I do?" Tamashi asks looking up at him, he nods and sighs
"Yeah"
"Cool... So if I train hard without the tailed beasts help will I be okay for the jounin exams?"
"Depends" kakashi stated, looking to the three genin.. "Now, why don't I get to the point. You three. You don't have to worry..."
"Yeah!" Naruto shouted
"Yes you three..." Kakashi trailed off smirking "are being dropped from the program permanently!" Kakashi stated arms crossed, Naruto began to look confused
"Huh?! You can't do that!"
"I can. You three don't have what it takes to be ninja. Did any of you even think about what the aim for this exercise is? Why do you think we put you in teams of three?"
"Ugh I don't know! How am I supposed to know when you don't tell us anything!!" Naruto shouted struggling to get out of the ropes that bound him to the wooden pole
"It's so simple.." Kakashi muttered sighing, Tamashi sighed as well
"WHATS SO SIMPLE?!" Naruto shouted angrily
"Team work!" Kakashi shouted annoyed "the aim was team work. And it didn't even get into your thick skulls that is was!" Kakashi growled Tamashi sighed.. Looking to the genin
"A genin should have a natural feel for teamwork.. Really a team who doesn't work together will just get themselves killed or like Kakashi said dropped from the program, a team with out teamwork is a team with out a plan" Tamashi stated, boredly
"Team work is the most important element to a mission! Sure your individual skills matter but team work is the key. You might as well be committing suicide if your team doesn't have that element" Kakashi growled
"Look, the group is made up of three genin and jounin to teach the genin how to work as a team and use others abilities in battle and protect and guard the weaker abilities, for an example: Sakura. Your the healer, but can't do many jutsu. Naruto, sasuke. You to are the head on fighters, one of you must stay and protect Sakura while fighting off the enemy. One protects the other while the one being guarded protects the attacker. Get it?"
"Or its the other way around when one just attacks and the other flee" Tamashi added to her own statement.
"In this exercise you three did none of that. You three didn't even think to work as a team. Instead you all went your own ways" Tamashi nodded
"If you all had came at Kakashi together you may have had a chance but no. You all decide to do things on your own" Tamashi growled "even after listening to a plan that could have helped you"
"Correct. Sakura! All you did was just stand there, Naruto obviously in trouble and you didn't lift a finger to help him! Instead you went after Sasuke including after Tamashi gave you an order! Naruto! You don't listen, and go to quickly! Fighting me by yourself was idiotic. And ignoring tamashi's commands just to go eat while the others continued the plan was stupid.. You never listen. Sasuke! You.. you thought the other two were so far below you that they were useless! Arrogance! Even when Tamashi was hinting to you that the plan was teamwork all you did was ignore her, in order for a team to function they must work together, ignoring their hatred or rivalry for one another and work as a team! Not ignore the others and think of them as idiots!" Kakashi scolded them. Tamashi sighed
"You three are only genin.. Starting off like that is going to make it really hard you three to even complete a D rank mission which are the simple ones" Tamashi stated, sighing, kakashi nodded and sighed
"You three saw that stone right?" He asked them.. They just kept quiet., probably feeling bad about what they had done or something, Tamashi sighed and grabbed his sleeve.. Giving him a sad look, he sighed and made her let go.. "It's the KIA stone" he stated, staring at the names engraved on it.. Tamashi frowned.. Staring at it as well..
"I get it now! I'm gonna get my name engraved on that!" Naruto shouted Tamashi glared at the blonde
"You don't want that Naruto!" Tamashi lashed out, kakashi sighed
"Tama. Calm down" he warned her, Tamashi glanced back at the jounin and sighed
"Huh why not?"
"Naruto KIA means killed in action... Those ninja have died.." Sakura explained to the now sadden looking blonde..
"Oh...." Naruto whispered, Tamashi sighed
"Great ninja have their names engraved on it... Some of the names of my closest friends are engraved on this stone..." Tamashi looked away and sighed.. Glancing up at Kakashi as he stared at the stone.. The name Obito uchiha.. The person she never got to meet.. She would have loved to meet him... She guess he was like itachi or Sasuke... But she was beyond wrong.. Kakashi sighed turning around
"I've decided to give you three one more chance! You fail this time, your all out"
"Even Tamashi?!" Naruto shouted
"No. She's a chunnin who uses jounin level jutsu. She won't be put down a level" Tamashi looked up at him and smiled, kakashi then passed a bento box to Sakura and Sasuke
"You to are to eat and regain your energy. As for Naruto, he doesn't get any. A little punishment for cheating and trying to eat himself" kakashi stated. Tamashi sighed.. She hadn't eaten breakfast but she wasn't bothered.. Naruto frowned
"But-"
"If any of you give him anything I'll fail all of you and you'll start at the beginning" kakashi stated disappearing, taking Tamashi with him, they watched from far away..
"Ni-San.. You have a weird way of teaching" Tamashi stated sweatdropping, he smiled at her
"I know it's harsh. But they have to learn quickly you know that more then anyone"
"Yeah... I'm still trying to get the kunai in the centre more then one time..." She whispered embarrassed
"You'll get there tama, don't worry"
"Yeah but I'm a chunnin! I don't want to be the most less skilled in the simple stuff!"
"Then train harder"
"You know the tailed beasts chakra helps" Kakashi sighed and watched the three genin..
"I might be able to do something about that without sealing their chakra"
"Really?" Tamashi asked, kakashi nodded his head slightly
"Yeah, come on. They've already shared" Kakashi said, doing handsigns.. Thunder and lightning began to emerge in the sky as he smirked at Tamashi "time to show the brats how to be scared" he stated, Tamashi laughed at him as he teleported.. Tamashi then walked over to see her guardian scare the living day lights out of his students.. They then began talking..
"You pass!" Kakashi stated, Tamashi smiled and nodded. Leaning on kakashi's shoulder making him smile wider.
"Huh? I passed? But all I did was faint..."
"I passed!!" Naruto shouted... Kakashi smiled.
"Yeah you three passed.." Tamashi said smiling and giving them thumbs up. Kakashi did the same
"Alright! Team 7 starts their official mission tomorrow!" Kakashi stated smiling.. Naruto was crying..
"You know.... Their kinda cool..." Naruto whispered smiling, Tamashi smiled and looked to kakashi.
"Come on, let's go home" Kakashi mutters, Tamashi sighs. Shrugging her shoulders as she went to catch up to the others
"HEY!! COULDN'T YOU UNTIE ME?!" Naruto shouted, Tamashi giggled and ran back to Naruto untying the boy. Naruto then jumped up and ran to catch up.. Kakashi then appeared behind her making her squeak as he hugged her,
"Good job tama~" he cooed, Tamashi giggled
"Nii-San! I thought you wer-"
"Nope. I wanna be with my baby-girl!" He said smiling, Tamashi smiled
"So what about that thing you were going to show me?" Kakashi chuckled at her
"Yeah come on.." He muttered arm around her shoulders..
"Yes!" She shouted hugging him..
"Your way to excited" he whispered.. Tamashi then let go of him and grinned as they walked to their training grounds... anbu following silently...
