Naruko POV

"And with that the test begins."

'Kurama serious question do flowers communicate with the seeds like little babies or am I crazy.'

'No seriously it's been bugging me all day.'

"What do you- OH HAWT DAMN."

My teammates had disappeared, and then I realized the test had finally started. Well shit.

I booked it to the trees, and I'm sure Kakashi had seen me. I tried to hide my chakra as best as I could, but I've always had a bit of difficulty with that. I probably should have taken Kurama up on his offer to train that.

I needed a plan and I needed one fast, but seeing as I'm a bit slow with strategic thinking it was definitely going to take me longer than it should. So I gave up on that.

'Alright get it together you fuckers.'

I was referring to my brain cells when saying that, but I guess Kurama took it the wrong way and literally sumo kicked me from the inside.

I hit the floor and stayed there for a solid 30 seconds. When I did get up I felt fluctuating chakra from a place that was to close for comfort, but I'm too nosy and no matter how much I dislike certain parts of my teammates, I didn't want them to have to fight a battle alone so I went closer.

I wasn't the best at locating chakra yet, but I was glad Kurama had just begun to teach me the basics.

Looking over to where I sensed it I saw a pretty heated battle between Sasuke and Kakashi. I continued to watch seeing if I could spot anything suspicious going on. Something that also caught my eye was how good Sasuke was at using taijustu. Sure the Uchiha clan is known for their ninjutsu, but damn he was so close to getting the bells every time he tried.

Kakashi was always just a bit quicker. He's always been like that, one step ahead of everyone else. Then again he was a jounin, so what did I really expect. He was honestly probably holding back but still. Sasuke was keeping up really well, and it made me think about how much I really did need to practice. Sure I had been doing a lot up until now, but it made me want to be better.

Damn pride, always making me do more work.

Then Kakashi just disappeared. He was just gone.

Sasuke looked confused too until his eyes widened and he looked down, and before I knew it I was bolting full speed towards him.

I knocked Sasuke out of the way just before Kakashi's hand busted through the ground.

We weren't in the clear though, instead of Sasuke he got my ankle. I looked around quickly for something to grab onto until I found one thing that I was pretty sure could keep me from being pulled under for what I was trying to do.

What was it you ask? Well, it was Sasuke. I gripped his hand and he looked surprised to say the least, but when he felt me begin to be quickly tugged under he caught on.

He pulled pretty hard and I was pretty sure my wrist was at least sprained. It hurt like a bitch, but it gave me enough time to bring my other foot down onto Kakashi's median nerve. Which should cause some of his fingers to release my leg.

Please work you stupid nerve. With a little more force than I had used before I hit his nerve and a few of his fingers let go of my ankle allowing Sasuke to pull me away.

Without sparing a single thought Sasuke began to run into the trees, his hand still gripping my now definitely broken wrist. Fucking hell man this shit hurts. I told Kurama I didn't want his help so I wouldn't cheat on the test. Even though I guess it wouldn't be cheating anyway. Besides that I told him he couldn't heal me. Which I was regretting a bit now, not like it would have completely healed but the pain would have numbed a bit.

I heard him laugh inside my mind. He definitely still has a sadistic side, but he probably would be freaking out if he didn't think this would actually hurt anything other than my pride in the long run.

When we finally got into the trees Sasuke let go of my hand and I could finally get a good look at it.

My wrist was pretty swollen and slightly purple. Kinda gross, but what worried me more was the fact that I couldn't move it well. It was my dominant hand so this was a pretty big problem for me.

I quickly put my hand down at my side so Sasuke couldn't really see it. If he asks I'll just lie.

"Why did you get in the way. I had it under control."

I could tell he wasn't really asking a question, but I answered anyway.

"You know you would have been pulled underground without my help, and now we can work together. I'm not the best at taijutsu yet but I'm pretty flexible so we are a good team."

I smiled at the though lot of working together with someone for once.

"Not a chance, if you aren't good at fighting then you will just get in the way again."

"Come on! It's better to work in teams. I can help you from behind y'know. You can do the major fighting while I wiggle in and snatch up the bells. I'm pretty small so I wouldn't even be noticed if you distracted him with some flashy jutsu or something."

He sighed.

"Fine, but under one condition."

"What is it? What is it?!"

"No Sakura."

"Im fine with that,we at least have to make sure she's okay though. Not that she's my favorite person, but she is our teammate."

He nodded slightly.

"You were talking so much! This is truly a great day!"

Then we began to search around a bit for Sakura until a shrill scream ripped through the air.

Well I guess we found her, and with that we ran towards the sound.
