Team 7 sat together, with Naruto tied to a pole. Rina had not even noticed that he had sneaked away during their fight to eat something. Well, a double of Kakashi had caught him there and tied him up here.

"Rina was the only one who could take the bells from me. But you all failed anyway." Kakashi said as he stood in front of them. "What!? Why!?" grumbled Naruto right away.

"I'll explain...", Kakashi began, addressing each person. "You wanted to have lunch without your team after being the first one to attack me directly. You, Sakura, were busy running after Sasuke even though Naruto had been in trouble. And you Sasuke, you single-handedly tried to take the bells from me and didn't even care what your comrades were doing," the Jonin explained, finally addressing the Uchiha.

"You were just like Sasuke. You fought me in solo, even though you could have freed your comrades." How Rina hated that word. Comrades, which Itachi had mentioned before.

"Those who don't play by the rules are scum. Those who abandon their comrades are even worse than scum." came the quote from Kakashi, which he too once had to learn. "But I don't want to be like that for once. I'll give you one very last chance to continue being on this team."

Curious, the genin looked at their sensei, who had leaned forward slightly. "After the lunch break, I will test you again. But there is one rule about it. Since Naruto wanted to eat without you, he will have to do without this now."

Just as the latter was about to complain, Kakashi fizzled out in front of them. Slightly thoughtful, Rina looked at the bento that was in front of her before opening it. Actually, she was not really hungry yet. After all, she had eaten something for breakfast.

Her dark eyes were directed to her team in which she had to be from today. Without this, she would certainly not be able to reach her goal.

"Here." the Uchiha spoke as she packed some rice on chopsticks and held it out to Naruto. The latter widened his shiny, joyful eyes as the beautiful girl tried to give him something to eat.

"But Rina..Sensei Kakashi told you that..." "I know. But we can't have Naruto if he drops from hunger." came straight from the Uchiha.

"You're right about that.", Sasuke agreed, raising his chopsticks as well. "Hm...", came quietly from the Haruno who had now mimicked her gestures. "Oh, guuuys...", Naruto almost cried at that and finally opened his mouth to devour the rice from Rina.

"What am I lookin' at?" came a long drawn out, taken aback sound from behind them, with Sakura immediately startled. "We..well."

"We can't fight without Naruto. You said it yourself that you can only fight as a team." , it came from Sasuke already when he finally understood.

A smirk could be seen under the mask as Kakashi looked at the four. They had understood without a doubt. "You have passed."
