...❝The Survival Test (part 1)❞...
SHIORI POV
I woke up 30 minutes earlier than usual, at 4:30 a.m
I take a shower and prepare my things
I walked down the stairs, towards the kitchen where my mother cooked2
"Mothers. I'm going to go to Sasuke's place now" I told my mother as I took the lunch she made for me on the table
"What's? But you haven't eaten breakfast yet" he said, looking at me
"No need to ma'am. Me and my team were told not to have breakfast for survival practice today" my smile read
"You'll starve if you don't eat. I don't care if you're told not to eat, you eat" he said, pointing to prepared food on the table
"But mother. I might puke" my reason
"You're not gonna throw up, I know that. Mom knows best anyway"
"Mother, you shouldn't. I have to go" I told him
"No. I won't let you leave this house until you eat" she said in a mixed tone of worry and anger.
"But mother"
"Nothing but. Now eat" she said as she gently but forcefully pushed me down to sit on the chair
"Mother"
"Did you not obey me?"
"No mother" I relented and held the chopsticks
"Good" he smiled, satisfied
"I don't understand why your teacher wants you to go hungry. I don't care the reason. I will not let my children starve to death. Well" he murmured as he continued cooking
"You and Sasuke are in the same group, right?" she asked
"Yes" I answered
"Then you get to his house, tell him to have breakfast. Understood?"
"Yes mother" I nodded as I continued eating
'Womenasai. Sensei'
- Pass the time
SASUKE POV
'What took Shiori so long? He said he would be here at 4:30 and now it's 4:50' I thought while sitting on my bed
"Sasuke" I heard Shiori's voice in the living room
I walked out of the room with my bag and went to the living room
I saw Shiori standing in front of the door holding the spare key to where I was in her hand
"Are you okay? You're a little late" I asked him
"I. Excuse me. Mom won't let me leave the house until I eat" he said
"Yes. I think that's the thing your mother would do. He always takes care of your health and well-being"
"Yes. Oh yeah, he also told me to tell you to eat too. I made sure to eat 90% less than usual so I'm 90% compliant with Kakashi Sensei"
"I won't eat" I told him
"Cannot be. My mom would be mad if she found out. Eat little. Here, she cooked it" Shiori told me as she opened the container on the coffee table
"Let's go. I'll feed you" He smiled as he sat on the carriage
"*sighs*Alright. I will eat the same portion of you" I said as I sat next to him
- Pass the time
SHIORI POV
Sasuke and I started walking towards the training ground
"I wonder if survival training will be difficult. But no doubt you will be an amazing Sasuke" I said sweetly as I wrapped my arms around his neck as we walked
"of course. But you also have talent and skill. But don't worry, stay close to me and you'll be fine" Sasuke said, showing a slightly visible smile to me
"You're so romantic💕💕💕" I said as I hugged her a little tighter
- Pass the time
We reached the training ground
We cross paths with Naruto and Sakura at the intersection, the designated area
Sakura and Naruto yawned as they walked
Sasuke remained silent. The four of us waited for Kakashi Sensei to arrive, in the middle of the three lanes
The sun came up and here we are, still waiting. Naruto finally sat down. As more time passed, Sakura sat down next, And next to me, I sat down next to Sasuke, leaning my head on his feet. Sasuke stood up
"I know I said a woman knows how to wait. But a man should know not to keep a woman waiting" I said
"That's it" Sakura replied
The sun rises higher in the sky
"For everyone. Ready for your first day?" We finally heard our Sensei's voice
"Hey you're late!" Sakura and Naruto shouted furiously
"Well, there's a black cat passing through my path, so I have to take a long way
Naruto groaning. We stared at Kakashi Sensei, not believing his reason
"Well" He cleared "Let's start
We were all watching as he walked into a post and set the timer
"Here we go. It's set for midday" He pressed the timer down
Then he pulled out three bells
"Your job is very simple. All you have to do is take this bell from me. That'sthat's all. If you can't get it during the day, you go without lunch"
"You'll be tied to those poles and you'll be watching while I'm having lunch in front of you"
Naruto's stomach and Sakura's rumbling
SASUKE POV
'So that's why'
SHIORI POV
'I love listening to my mom and eating but I regret the fact that I ate only a few bites just to obey Sensei'
"Wait first! The four of us, why only three bells?" sakura asked and raised three fingers
"Well that way, at least one of you will be tied to a post and eventually disqualified for failing to complete the mission. That one's back at the academy"
We looked at Kakashi Sensei with a serious look
"Then again, the four of you can fail as well. You can use any weapon, including shuriken. If you don't want to kill me, you won't be able to take the bell. When I say start, you can start" Kakashi Sensei said
Naruto ejects the kunai and attacks Kakashi Sensei
We stared at the scenery in front of us+
"Don't rush. I haven't said start" said Kakashi Sensei
The three of us took a few steps back from them
SAKURA POV
'He's so fast, I don't even see him!'
SASUKE POV
' So this is Jonin ' _
SHIORI POV
'I wonder if I can defeat him if I use the Byakugan'
"But, you came to me with the full intention of destroying me. So then. How can I say this? I'm actually starting to like you guys" Sensei told us
"Prepare..daaann...start"
We spread out and hid in our own hiding places. I hid in a tree
'I want to know where Sasuke is'
KAKASHI POV
"A ninja should know how to hide their movements and hide effectively" I said
"Well, they understand. They're hiding well-yes?" Naruto stands on one of the poles
"You and I, now, are fair and honest. Let's go" He declared proudly
"Hmm?" I looked at him
SASUKE POV
"Stupid" I said
"You know compared to the others, you're a little weird" said Kakashi Sensei.
"Oh yeah? The only thing weird here is your haircut!" Says Naruto
SHIORI POV
I sat on the branch while watching Kakasi Sensei and Naruto
"Let'sahh!" Naruto attacked Kakashi Sensei again
Kakashi Sensei reached into his pocket. Naruto saw this and took a step back
"Shinobi fighting technique. Part 1. Taijutsu. Physical art" Kakashi Sensei said as he began to bring out something
NARUTO POV
' Taijutsu. It was an empty-handed fight. Then why did he grab the weapon?'
Instead of weapons, Kakashi Sensei pulled out ... book?
"What?" I looked at him confused
"Wait for what else? Let's move" she told me
"But. I meani. Why are you reading that book?" I asked
"Why? To find out what happens in the story of course" he answered while reading a book
"Don't let that bother you. With your feeble attack, it doesn't matter if I'm reading or, whatever" he scoffed
Now I'm pissed
"I will destroy youuuuuuu" I said as I attacked him again and attacked
He blocked my attack
"Now you're mine" I'll hit him but he's not around
"Huh?"
"Don't let your enemies always be behind you" Kakasgi Sensei said from behind me
SAKURA POV
"*Surv*"
'An autograph to focus his chakra. Is that a tiger sign? That's hazardous. He can destroy Naruto with it'
Before Naruto-
"Too late" said Kakashi Sensei
"The Secret Finger of Leaf Village"
"Ahhh"-Naruto
Sensei stabs Naruto's ass
"Thousand years of death!"- Kakashi Sensei
"It was not a hand gesture at all. He just poked her," I said exasperatedly
SASUKE POV
"Both are idiots"
SHIORI POV
"What are they doing down there?"
Naruto landed in the river
"OKAY. Where was I?" He asked himself while taking out his book again and began to read
'I need to move immediately'
I am preparing to use my Byakugan
SASUKE POV
I'm getting ready to take the secret weapon
SAKURA POV
'That must be against the rules. He's a Jonin. We can't possibly match his strength'
NARUTO POV
I drowned in the river
'*Attacking*I won't let it end like this. *Attacking*I'll attack from the water. Now!'' now!'
I threw two secret weapons
POV
SHIORI "Yaku-Huh?" Before I had the chance to use my Byakugan, two secret weapons passed by, letting me off guard
The two shuriken headed towards Kakashi Sensei but he caught it easily
NARUTO POV
I started coughing and stammering as I came out of the river
