“What are you doing Naruto!?” I thought, as I looked at Naruto fighting Kakashi. “I have to help him….but how?”
“Ninjas should not be so easily deceived.” Kakashi said.
“Alright, Alright, I get it.” Naruto said.
“No, I’m telling you this because you don’t get it. You only think you do.” Kakashi said. Then kunai and shuriken came out of a tree and hit Kakashi.
“Sasuke, it won’t work, it’s only a substitute.” I said to myself as I jumped off of the tree, above Naruto, and walked up to him.
“Huh, Aya?” Naruto asked.
“So is it fun hanging up-side down like a monkey?” I asked and laughed a little. Naruto just growled and I sighed. I pulled out a kunai and cut him down. “Naruto follow me.”
“But why? I have to get a bell.” He said.
“I know, but you’re never going to get it alone.” I said.
“What do you mean?” He asked.
“Kakashi is a jonin, an elite ninja, and we’re just genin, just out of the academy.” I said.
“Yeah so….” Naruto said.
“So, there’s a power difference. He’s too strong for us to take him on one at a time, but….” I said, but Naruto cut me off.
“But if we team up, we might be able to take him out.” He said.
“Right, now let’s go find Sakura and Sasuke.” I said and started to walk off. We walked through the forest and found both Sasuke and Sakura. Sakura was passed out on the ground and only Sasuke’s head was sticking out of the ground. I tried not to laugh at the scene, but I giggled a little.
“Alright, Naruto you wake up Sakura and I’ll get Sasuke out of the ground.” I said and walked over to Sasuke. I focused chakra into the ground and forced the ground to rise, pushing Sasuke up and out of the ground. I turned around to see Naruto trying to wake up Sakura, but was having no luck. “Want some help?” I asked and walked over to them. I squatted down next to Sakura and poked her cheek.
“Ummm, Aya….?” Naruto started to ask, but I cut him off.
“SAKURA! WAKE UP!” I yelled and jumped back. Once I jumped back, Sakura jumped up and looked around. I couldn’t help but laugh.
“What happened?” she asked.
“You fainted and I woke you up.” I said bluntly.
“Yeah, and Aya figured out how we can beat Kakashi-sensei.” Naruto said.
“How?” Sakura asked.
“We have to work as a team.” I said.
“Why? I can do this on my own.” Sasuke said. I walked over to him and smacked him in the face.
“When will you learn that you can’t do things on your own?! Sometimes your enemy is stronger and you have to work with your team, as a team.” I yelled.
Sasuke put his hand, on his cheek, where I smacked him and said, “Maybe your right.” Naruto and Sakura stared surprised, until I spoke up.
“Alright, I have a plan.” I said. I told them the plan and then we went to find Kakashi. “Alright, you all know what to do, right?
“Yeah, shadow clone jutsu.” Naruto said and created three clones of himself and I did the same.
“Alright, Sakura, it’s your turn.” I said.
“Right, clone jutsu.” She said and created three clones of herself. One clone hid in the right side of the forest, one on the left, and one straight across from us, while the real one stayed next to us.
“So is that the real one?” I asked.
“As far as I can see.” She said.
“Alright, Naruto it’s our turn.” I said. Two of his clones and two of my clones went and circled Kakashi. While they had him distracted, Naruto and I, along with our other clone, came up behind Kakashi. Naruto and his clone grabbed his legs, while my clone and I grabbed his arms.
“Sasuke, now!” Naruto and I yelled at the same time. Sasuke came out of the forest and grabbed the bells. Naruto and I let go of Kakashi, while our clones and Sakura’s disappeared. Sasuke handed all the bells to me, just as Sakura came out of the forest.
“Here are your bells, Sasuke, Naruto.” I said as I handed them each a bell. Sakura had just reached us and I handed her the last bell.
“Why give me this? Your better to the team then I am.” She said.
“I don’t need it.” I said and walked over to Kakashi. “The reason I don’t need it, is because we all pass, don’t we sensei?”
“So you figured it out, but I have one question.” Kakashi said.
“What would that be?” I asked.
“How did you get Sasuke to work with you as a team?” he asked.
“Umm…. Well, first he said that he could get a bell on his own and then I walked up to him, smacked him and said “When will you learn that you can’t do things on your own?! Sometimes your enemy is stronger and you have to work with your team, as a team.” And then he changed his mind” I said.
“Alright, well, just as Aya said, you all pass.” Kakashi said.
“Alright, let’s go get some ramen Aya.” Naruto said.
“Alright.” I said and smiled. Everyone stared at me surprised. “What?”
“You just smiled.” They all said. I blushed a bit and scratched the back of my head nervously.
“Alright, you’re not Aya.” Sakura said.
“Why do you say that?” I asked.
“Because, Aya is cold hearted and mean, and she would never blush or smile.” She said.
I laughed a little and said, “People can change.” Then I started to walk away. They blinked a few times and then followed me.
