Third Person's POV

It was 6:00 am in the morning. Sasuke and Sakura were at training ground 7.
"What's taking them so long?" Sakura complained
"Hn" Sasuke replied

Naruto was eating a light breakfast since he couldn't work well with an empty stomach. When he was finished he tied his forehead protector to his head and shunshined outside training ground 7. He slowly walked inside and stretched
"Finally! I can let out a few skills!" he said, Kurama chuckled

"You can't go all out now. This is like an introduction to your skills" Kurama said, Naruto nodded
"Yeah! I'll let it out just a little bit" Naruto grinned. As he reached the training grounds he was greeted with a yell
"You're late Naruto!" Sakura scolded as Naruto sweat dropped but smiled
"Morning Sakura-chan.." he greeted, when Sasuke said a 'Hn' Sakura turned to him with heart eyes
"Sasuke-kun.." she muttered. Naruto just put his hands at the back of his head and sighed
"Where's Kakashi-sensei?" he asked,
"He's not here yet" Sakura answered as she shrugged. Then the three Genin waited.

~Approximately 3 hours later~

Kakashi appeared in smoke. He smiled and held up his left hand
"Hey..!"
"YOU'RE LATE!" Naruto and Sakura yelled in unison, Kakashi sweat dropped
"Sorry.. I was helping an old lady cross the road.."
"LIES!" both Naruto and Sakura interrupted the Jonin. Kakashi continued to sweat drop and laughed nervously
"Anyways.. let's talk about your survival test" Kakashi said as he gained his composure, this time the three Genin stood up straight and had serious looks on their faces.

Kakashi smiled and took out two bells from his pocket making the three Genin express a questioned look
"All three of you will try to take a single bell from me until noon" Kakashi explained while letting the bells ring and setting up a timer, Sakura raised a hand
"But sensei, there are only two bells.."
"Exactly. Meaning only two of you can get the bells"
"And the third one?" there was a moment of silence before Kakashi spoke
"The third one will be tied to a pole while the other two eat lunch" he replied, he then added
"And when the survival test is over, the two who gets a bell pass as Genin while the third one returns to the academy. But if all three of you can't get a bell then all three of you will go back to the academy" Kakashi said with an eye smile, this shocked the three Genin which turned to serious faces a few seconds later.

Kakashi tied the bells to the hips of his pants and looked at the Genin
"Ready.." the Genin made a stance
"Start!" Sasuke and Sakura went to hide in the bushes leaving Naruto out in the open with Kakashi. Kakashi was a bit surprised that Naruto didn't hide like the rest of the Genin
"You're not gonna hide?" Kakashi asked
"Nah, I'll pass" Naruto replied as he did some stretching. 'That idiot..!' Sakura thought. Kakashi just shrugged and took out his beloved novel "Icha Icha Paradise" and started reading.

Sasuke and Sakura had enough of watching the two do no combat at all, so they left in different directions. Naruto sensed their chakra going elsewhere meaning that it was only Naruto and Kakashi.

He smirked as he cracked his knuckles catching Kakashi's attention. Naruto charged at Kakashi and tried to punch him only for Kakashi to easily dodge while reading his book. Naruto threw another punch and a few kicks only for Kakashi to dodge and guard them all. Kakashi then grabbed Naruto's arm and threw him away, Naruto landed on the ground only for him to disappear in smoke. 'A Shadow Clone?' he thought to himself surprised. The original Naruto sat at a tree nearby with his chakra hidden and undetectable. He dangled the bells between his fingers happy that his plan worked.

Before he went into the training grounds, he created a Shadow Clone to go in his stead while the original hid somewhere nearby. He watched Kakashi explaining the survival test and Sasuke and Sakura going to a bush to hide. While his clone was stretching and Kakashi was reading, he took a few twigs and used the Kawarimi no Jutsu (Substitution Technique) to make the twigs transform into the bells that Kakashi had. He used an Earth Technique that made him sink to the tree's branch (kinda like Orochimaru) and traveled to Kakashi's location. He masked his chakra so he wouldn't be detected and slowly swapped the bells with the bells he transformed. He then traveled quietly back to the tree he came from and watched his clone fight Kakashi.

"Why the hell was your clone fighting in a beginner's manner?" Kurama asked,
"To lessen suspicions maybe?" Naruto answered, Kurama only sighed in disbelief making Naruto chuckle. He smirked as he made a sign and said
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu"

Kakashi continued to read his book until he sensed more than 5 chakra signatures. About 7 Naruto's ran at Kakashi and engaged in a Taijutsu fight. Each clone taking a turn in the offensive and the defensive with Kakashi countering each of them. Until the Naruto's restrained Kakashi making the original jump up and try to land a punch, only for Kakashi to use the Substitution Technique making Naruto punch his own clone.
"Damn.. I almost had him" Naruto said to himself as he dispelled his clones. Kakashi was about to land an axe kick only for Naruto to dodge as he jumped out of the way. Naruto jumped away on a certain distance and took out a few kunai and threw them at Kakashi making him counter them with his own kunai, Naruto threw a few shuriken and used this chance. He dashed to Kakashi to grab a bell but failed to take one. They continued to fight, as Naruto kicked his gut, Kakashi disappeared in smoke.
"Kage Bunshin.. huh..?"

Sakura was walking around the forest part of the training grounds with a worried look on her face
"Sasuke-kun! Sasuke-kun where are you?!" she called out, but no one replied. Then she heard rustling, she took out a kunai and turned to where the sound came from. She held the kunai up to prepare to attack, the one who came out of the bushes was Sasuke. Injured. Kunais and shurikens were on his body making him bleed
"Sakura.. help.. me.." Sasuke tried to talk before he collapsed, her eyes widened, horrified from the situation
"S-Sasuke.. kun..?" she called, but Sasuke didn't budge. He didn't even flinch.
"NNOOOOOOO!!!" Sakura yelled as she held her head. In the nearby bushes, Kakashi took a peek at the pink kunoichi, who collapsed from shock. He sighed
"I guess E-rank genjutsu was too much" he said as he shunshined away.

Sasuke walked around the forest of the training grounds. Thinking of ways to get a bell, he then saw Kakashi reading his erotic book at an open space. Sasuke furrowed his brows as he dashed at Kakashi, starting off with a punch that Kakashi blocked. He crouched to kick only for Kakashi to jump away. He charged again with a punch that was blocked, used his free hand as support to the ground and twisted to land a kick to his side only to be blocked. He then kicked which Kakashi dodged, he jumped up to kick his head which was also dodged. When he landed and tried to kick from below which Kakashi side stepped to dodge, he reached out for one of the bells but didn't get one in the end. They jumped away as Sasuke did a few seals surprising Kakashi a little bit

"Katon: Gokyaku no Jutsu! (Fire release: Great Fireball Technique)" Sasuke said as he inhaled while molding chakra inside and blowing it all out at once, creating a big fireball aimed at Kakashi. The technique hit making Sasuke smirk, only to see after the smoke that there was no Kakashi. He darted his head around the area, 'Where is he? Right? Left? Behind? Above?' he thought as he looked at the following directions. Until realization hit him. 'Below!' he thought as he looked down only to see hands that grabbed his ankles dragging him to the ground leaving his head on the surface with Kakashi jumping out.

"Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu (Earth release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique)" Kakashi stated as he gave Sasuke an eye smile only for Sasuke to frown
"Well then!" Kakashi said as he raised a hand and disappeared in smoke. Moments later he saw Sakura walking by,
"Sakura! Help me out of here!" Sasuke called, Sakura turned to him and screamed seeing only his head and collapsed making Sasuke make a look of disbelief.

Kakashi, who was reading his book on the main area of training ground 7 was thinking 'Who will I tie to the pole?' he asked in his mind.

In the end, Sakura was tied to the pole while Naruto and Sasuke were given lunches.
"None of you got a single bell. I'll give you a chance this afternoon until dusk. Naruto and Sasuke can eat their lunch" Kakashi stated as he gave the boys chopsticks
"What? Why am I tied to a pole?" Sakura asked,
"Naruto and Sasuke nearly got a bell from me" Kakashi explained simply making Sakura slump, Sasuke was surprised to hear that Naruto almost got a bell. 'Hn, that was just a fluke' he thought
"Naruto and Sasuke can eat their lunch, and don't feed Sakura, this is her punishment for not trying to take a bell. I make the rules here so you have to follow them okay?" Naruto and Sasuke nodded then Kakashi poofed away.

As they started eating Sakura's stomach grumbled catching the boys attention. She laughed nervously as she turned slightly red from embarrassment
"It's okay don't mind me.. I'm in a diet so.." she tried to explain only for her stomach to grumble in disagreement, Naruto took a tamagoyaki from his bento with his chopsticks and held it up to Sakura
"Here"
"Huh?" this gesture surprised the Uchiha and the Haruno tied to the pole
"It's fine..! I'm in a diet!"
"That's what you say but your stomach says otherwise" Naruto stated as he smiled
"But Kakashi-sensei said not to feed me" she protested only to be interrupted by th Uchiha
"It's fine. I don't sense his chakra anywhere" Sasuke said as he took a cherry tomato from his bento and held it up to Sakura, making her blush
"Just eat. We'll think of a plan together on getting the bells in the afternoon. We can't have anyone weak from hunger" Sakura was teary eyed, happy that the two boys, especially Sasuke, were helping her
"Thanks!" she said as she took a bite from the cherry tomato making Naruto slump
"Uh.. don't forget me.." Naruto said, Sakura ate from the two feeding her, but mostly Sasuke.

Dark grey clouds formed, as lightning errupted, Kakashi appeared releasing a bit of killing intent slightly frightening the Genin
"You broke the rules!" Kakashi said
"We don't care! A comrade is suffering and we can't turn a blind eye!" Naruto protested
"We're a team, and we do things together" Sasuke said which surprised the Genins, including himself.
"You guys.." the Genins were prepared for the worst
"Pass"
"Huh?"
"Congratulations! You pass as Genin!" Kakashi said with an eye smile, they were silent but then Sakura and Naruto had wide grins while Sasuke smirked
"Remember this.. those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum" Kakashi stated, Naruto nodded in agreement while Sakura had wide eyes and Sasuke said the Uchiha 'Hn' in agreement. Kakashi untied the ropes that held Sakura and said
"Tomorrow Team 7 starts their missions!" Sakura cheered in joy while Sasuke smirked in satisfaction and Naruto grinned his trademark grin.

As they were leaving, Sakura was walking with Sasuke asking him to go on a date with her while he ignores her. Naruto tapped Kakashi's arm
"Kakashi-sensei" he called, Kakashi turned to him and hummed in response
"I forgot to give these back to you" Naruto said as he took Kakashi's hand and placed the object in his palm and closed it
"See you tomorrow sensei!" Naruto said as he grinned and ran away, Kakashi watched him confused and opened his palm to see what he gave. His eyes widened when he saw the same bells he had, he took the ones tied on him only for it to transform into twigs. Kakashi smiled
"Interesting.."
