The Bell Test

Today was the bell test. I should not heavily showoff myself yet before Chunin exam. Don't know if Orochimaru will start also targeting me. I left home without eating. I am wearing my Shinobi outfit today.

I wear a black jumpsuit with knee length white stylish shinobi boots, handbands with storage seal for my senbons, kunais and shurikens, my custom made chakra conducting double daggers for which I saved my pocketmoney for almost two years. I am not using sword today as I don't know much to use it yet. I am still wearing the total weights of 120 kilos.

I arrived at the training ground at 7am exactly. Sasuke was already there and just brooding.

"Good morning! Let's burn the flames of YOUTH!" and then started my morning routine shouting youth. Sasuke got flustered, backed away and then started brooding all over again. In the meantime, Naruto came and started imitating me.

After an hour of my YOUTH routine, I ate some biscuits and started sensing. My sensing has a radius of about 400m and can maintain it for about 4-5 minutes with full concentration. I couldn't sense anyone within the vicinity which makes sense, since Kakashi was hiding his presence.

Another 2 hours passed and he finally showed himself with "Yo".

"You are late!" "Yeah! That's so unYOUTHful!"

Kakashi stumbled for a bit before showing us two bells.

"You have to get these bells from me. The ones who get the bells are passing and the one who doesn't have bell is going back to the academy. Come with me with the intent to kill. Now start!"

This time, Naruto didn't outright attacked him on the unfairness of test as he has become somewhat mature just by being my and Shika's side.

Sasuke hid in the bushes while I started attacking him as soon as the test started. Barrages of punches and kicks and occasionally senbons aimed at kill points. Kakashi couldn't open his book and has to use his hands for defending. Then he tried using a weak genjutsu which I shrugged off easily within no time. Genjutsu of that level doesn't work on me.

Then Naruto's shadow clones started coming at him. I took some distance and threw another senbons towards 'his' balls. I tried taking a bell during distraction of Naruto's shadow clones. I touched the bells and was close to removing them but he kicked me in the gut sending me flying.

I got up and went towards the bushes and then stealthily towards the place where Sasuke was hiding.

"Hey Sasuke. How about three of us working together and deciding later who takes bells?"

"No! I can do it alone!" and then he went towards some other tree.

After taking a breath, I changed my position and started throwing senbons and kunais at Kakashi's vital points and the bells again. But ultimately, Kakashi performed the thousands years of death on Naruto.

As soon as Naruto got out of the picture, Sasuke used distraction-no-jutsu (fireball jutsu) but got buried in the ground for good.

I sensed a shadow clone sneaking up on me and poofed it up with my double daggers. Kakashi came towards me for a fight. I started using water chakra coated double daggers (I can only use water nature coating at the moment) and fighting off him while moving towards where Naruto was, coming out of the pond.

"Naruto! Shove some clones here for distracting him!"

As Naruto clones started filling the ground and I got a moment, I whispered to a clone to free Sasuke and poofed it up so he will remember why Sakura killed one of his clones. I threw various kunais around Kakashi and substituted myself with it which greatly surprised Kakashi, maybe reminding him of flying thunder god and I got the two bells from him. Alarm clock went off at the perfect timing.

"So, congratulations Sakura, you got the bells. Your performance was good. So what are you going to do with the bells?"

But I knew he just let me take them for some reason.

"Well, obviously I will have one and for other, Naruto will decide. I couldn't get them without his help. Sasuke just outright rejected working together. Hmph!" I gave one bell to Naruto and kept one for myself.

Then the self-sacrificing idiot Naruto is, decided to give it to Sasuke. But the emo-kid Sasuke is, didn't accept which he shouldn't but also yelled, "I don't need your pity!" And then they started fighting together.

Kakashi: "Don't start fighting! Sasuke will be tied to poll and you two can eat. After an hour, Sasuke and Naruto will come at me again. If anyone gives Sasuke their lunch, you all will fail." Then Kakashi Sunshin'ed away.

I sensed the surroundings and found the faint chakra of Kakashi in one of the trees. I started eating my lunch. Naruto didn't but was thinking about giving Sasuke his lunch.

"Don't give him. You eat. You have big chakra reserves so you will need more food. I have extra snacks." I tossed my biscuits to Naruto.

"Feed your lover..."

""We are not!""

"But you two were kissing yesterday."

""That was this bastard/dobe's fault."" "Dattebayo"

"Whatever. Feed him the snacks and try to work together against Kakashi sensei or both of you will fail, and I will not get a teacher because of you. Because there is always team of three."

Both of them shut their mouths and Naruto started feeding Sasuke.

Then suddenly Kakashi appeared in front of us with killing intent. I was barely keeping myself from shaking.

"You...

pass"

He released killing intent which caused myself to sigh in relief. This was the first time I faced killing intent in my life.

"Can you answer me why Sakura?"

"Teamwork"

"You figured it out in the middle when you got help from Naruto?"

"No, actually when you told us what the test was."

"Oh? So why didn't you fight like that from the start?"

"It was obvious that the test was divide and rule. I couldn't hide from you who is strongest in our village after Hokage and Gai Sensei, so I started directly attacking to see if I could get a bell myself because you can't go back to your word.

Naruto is a person who will run headfast in any fight so I started fighting alongside him without asking for help. If I asked, he will obviously help but will prefer to be alone for proving himself. Then I directly went for Sasuke, who as expected declined. Emo kid."

"Okay." Then he took us to KIA site and then lectured us on teamwork and Obito line about some trash and garbage.

"-follow rules-trash- help friends-worse than trash- blah blah blah-"

"So your duty starts from tomorrow. Meet me at 7am here from tomorrow."

Finally, the test was over.
