Sakura walked down the path that led straight to Team 7's favored training ground with light, confident steps. The summer session of the Chunin Exam was in exactly three days. She couldn't wait until her team entered the exams and showed everyone, especially Ino-pig, just which rookie genin team was the strongest.
Yesterday, Ino tried to tell her Sasuke and Naruto weren't going to participate in the exam. She laughed the blonde gossip off. There was no way Sasuke and Naruto weren't going to enter. Sasuke was incredibly strong and determined. His ambition was to kill some man and well, he'd been working toward that since their first mission. He was all about strength. He needed to be incredibly strong to beat the guy he was after. She didn't know who he spoke about during their first meeting as a team, but she knew the guy had to be very strong, a better ninja than their lazy ass teacher Kakashi Hatake.
Sasuke wasn't going to ignore the chance to find out where he stood among the genin and prove he was the best. Her Sasuke was too awesome to chicken out like that.
Naruto, well, he was all talk, well, not really. He was stronger than Sakura physically and he was always bragging about how he was going to be Hokage one day. He would never turn down the opportunity to show everyone just how strong, or in this case weak, he was. The blond was too dumb to say no.
So, Ino-pig was totally full of it when she said she heard that Sasuke and Naruto weren't entering the exams. Besides how could Ino know when Sakura their teammate, didn't know for sure if they were entering. They each spoke to Kakashi individually.
As lazy as Kakashi was, he didn't seem like the type to gossip.
Ino was just making stuff up again; like that time she claimed to have a betrothal contract with Sasuke. The blonde pig probably just wanted Sakura to look like a fool when she confronted Sasuke and asked him why he wasn't entering the exams.
Sakura pictured Sasuke's reaction to her question and grimaced momentarily. She gritted her teeth in anger. Ino-pig was a devious snake. Sasuke would hate her for even asking and then Ino would come and say something like, "Sasuke, my love, I never doubted you for a moment. Not like big forehead Sakura," and then the two would kiss and Sakura would have ruined any chance of being the next Mrs. Uchiha.
"Nice try, Ino-pig, but that won't happen on my watch. I'm too smart for that," she muttered as she made her way to her team's training grounds. She came to an abrupt stop when she saw her teammates.
Naruto and Sasuke both had large stacks of papers in front of them. Sasuke's was larger, more than three times Naruto's size. They filled out one of the sheets and when they finished they placed the paper on one pf the files. It was the smallest stack for both males. The truly disturbing thing was that they both moved in sync.
They licked their thumbs grabbed another sheet from one of the other two piles and started filing it out.
"Kakashi-sensei," she screamed at the top of her lungs. Something was very wrong with her two males. First and foremost Naruto hated anything that had to with reading. He never did his homework in the academy because even reading the questions irritated him.
There was no way Naruto would do any kind of paperwork without someone forcing him. She gathered her chakra and released it. Nothing happened. She wasn't in a genjustu. She opened her mouth to scream for Kakashi again, but he showed up at that moment.
He was appeared in his trademark cloud of smoke. "Maa, hello, my adorable team," he called. Sakura couldn't see his trademark eye smile since his whole face was obscured and she didn't mean by his mask. Sakura's eyes widened when she saw he was holding a stack of paper that appeared just as tall as he was. It covered his torso and head and rose even higher.
"What the hell is going on here?" she gritted out as she clenched her hands into fists. If they didn't start explaining things to her satisfaction she was going to start pounding heads, starting with Kakashi-sensei. He was supposed to be the adult here, so he must be at fault.
He placed the tower of paper on the ground and stared at it for a moment. Horror and sorrow were etched on his face. Then he turned back to this team and it was gone. "Uh, it seems I have a lot more paperwork to go through than I thought. More than I thought was even possible. A lot of issues have just been piling up," Kakashi said with a sheepish smile.
"My fealty families all seem to be a step away from war. I've got a lot of mission requests to fill out so these problems can be resolved with the least bloodshed. The Uchiha have seen enough of that," Sasuke curtly answered. Sakura winced at that. Who needed Ino-pig when she was doing a good job making Sasuke irritated at her? Honestly, could she do anything right? She turned to Naruto, wanting to know what the hell was his excuse.
"Oh, Haku told me I have to fill out this before I come back home. We're doing a lot of building now. This is the paperwork to authorize payments, supply ack…acquisitions, and other stuff. I have another pile at home waiting for tonight," Naruto groaned. "All I want to do is sleep."
Naruto didn't even call her Sakura-chan? What the hell? And he was talking to her all-normal. Where was his usual exuberance? He got happy as hell whenever he saw her, and what was this Haku-chan bullshit. Was that bitch moving in on her territory? Sakura glared. "What the hell? This is supposed to be our last team practice before the Chunin Exams on Saturday."
"True. You're right, Sakura. Well, since you're going to be the only one entering the exams, why don't we work on your endurance some more? I've already spoken to some other team squad leaders and have lined up two genin looking for a third so no need to worry there. Run a few laps around the pond. I'll tell you when to stop." After Kakashi finished talking, he took a seat next to his pile of paperwork. He pulled out a brush and inkpot, grabbed the first sheet on the pile and started reading it over.
It took Sakura a moment to get her bearings. This morning was just that weird. "What the hell? Ino-pig was right? What the hell do you two mean by not entering?" she screamed outraged.

Their team practice hadn't gone well, which was to be expected considering how Sakura reacted to learning that neither her precious Saskuke-kun, nor Naruto was entering the Chunin Exams. The girl spent most of the time sulking, at least when she wasn't huffing and puffing from running around the lake repeatedly.
The glare she sent Kakashi when he told her to stop could have incinerated the whole village. As powerful as it was, he wasn't going to let it keep him from accomplishing his goals. So then he forced the rest of his cute little students to put aside their horrendous paperwork and run through some katas. He instantly noticed the change Naruto's stance underwent and was ashamed he couldn't claim any of the glory.
Haku did more for his bubbly little blonde than he did.
Thankfully, he still had some time with his team to teach them as he was governed to do. After a moment he put aside his own paperwork and walked around his three kids. He moved an arm, a leg, shifted a torso, and did whatever needed to be done so that their movements were perfect. An opening could lead to death and he saw too much of that in his relatively short life.
After that he trained their chakra control and levels. He made sure that Sakura run up and down the trees, while Sasuke and Naruto were forced to walk up the trees. Running would improve Sakura's chakra capacity while walking would improve the two boys control.
When the team training ended, he could see absolute joy on his cute student's faces. He grinned. Seemed his new training was right on track. He remembered how much he looked forward to the end of Minato's training and he realized he wasn't pushing his team enough.
After today they couldn't complain he wasn't training them.
"Today is the last time we'll meet together as a team until the chunin exams are done. However, I will be meeting with each of you individually for training. You all have different strengths and weaknesses. Now that we're gotten teamwork out of the way, I'm going to work on your weakness until they disappear and you're strengths become even stronger." He whipped out three sheets. "Here are your individual schedules. Look them over now and memorize them later, kiddies." He handed each child his or her schedule.
Naruto glanced down at his and grimaced. "What! I have our first meeting now?" he yelled. "How is that fair?"
The other two glanced at him, then Kakashi, and shrugged. Kakashi mentally cackled. They weren't about to argue with him on the blond's behalf. His team knew one of them would have to take Naruto's place and weren't willing to sacrifice themselves. Death they could handle. More training was a big no-no. "You two are dismissed."
He waited until his two genin walked away. Sasuke moved with purposeful strides, trying to put as much distance between himself and the training ground as possible. Sakura's steps weren't as fluid. She was dead on her feet. Still, that didn't stop her from catching up with her crush.
Kakashi sighed. That was something he was going to have to nip in the bud. He thought it would disappear the longer they worked together and especially after Wave, but it seemed to have deepened. Before he might have said Sakura liked Sasuke. Now, he was starting to think the girl believed she was in love with the last loyal Uchiha.
She didn't know what love was.
Hell, he didn't know the emotion until it blind-sighted him when that stupid idiot got crushed by a boulder and gave him his eye.
If push came to shove he would transfer the girl out. Sasuke and Naruto worked really well together today and he knew with time they would only get better. He believed in teamwork, but for it to exist all members of the team needed to be willing to do the work hence teamwork. He wasn't so sure Sakura was honestly interested.
"Oh, Naruto-kun, come on, let's get dinner. Then we practice."
"Ichiraku?" the blond asked hopefully.
He shook his head. "Haku warned me about your obsession." He shuddered. That boy was very scary when he wanted to be. "Come on, I know a great barbecue place."

"Sasuke, can I talk to you for a moment?"
Sasuke took a deep breath, released it and then rolled his eyes. He couldn't help acting his age sometimes. Sakura was just such a pain in the ass.
He slowly turned to regard Sakura. His pink-haired teammate was toeing the ground with one foot. Her hands were clasped behind her back, and she looked suitably bashful. Sasuke was immediately alert, though he didn't let it show.
That was Sakura's, "I'm going to try enact my plan to become Mrs. Uchiha," look.
He'd come to recognize the look and hated it with a passion. Was it too much to ask to get a teammate who was actually interested in the ninja arts? He would never say it, but he was very, very thankful to Haku for turning Naruto's attention from him. The blond was all right, but Sasuke hated how everything was always about getting one up on him.
Granted, he'd been just as interested in proving he was the better ninja. Looking back he realized they were both stupid.
Ever since they came back from Wave, Naruto was paying him less and less attention. Nowadays he barely acknowledged him, well, he barely paid notice to any of his teammates. Sasuke supposed the responsibilities of being the head of a newly created clan had something to do with it. Naruto always looked like he just barely made it to their practices and when they ended he acted like he was late for something.
After getting back the files for his fealty clans, Sasuke understood why. There was so much fucking paperwork to do. Honestly, it was like every time he turned the pile was bigger. He was seriously considering setting up some security seals to see if it was possible for paper to breed. Every night he'd get it to a manageable level, but in the morning it was right back to where it started.
"Yes, you may, Sakura. How can I help you?" He was determined to be civil even if it killed him. He couldn't act like he normally did anymore. He had responsibilities now and an image to project. He remembered how his father and clan members acted when around the village. He didn't want to be that kind of Uchiha. Plus, he figured he couldn't be that kind of person. He did not have the clan they relied upon. Back then if his father stepped on someone's toes, he could turn to a clan member who might supply the item he needed or do the work he wanted.
Sasuke was alone. Tearing down the clan houses forced him to realize this and truly understand what it meant. He was totally alone. He couldn't do a single thing without remembering this important fact.
"Uh, Sasuke, I know Kakashi said you're not entering the exams but I just wanted to tell you I know he was joking." She nodded her head and smiled brightly.
Sasuke found the whole situation more than a little freaky. "Well, I am not entering the exams. Kakashi-sensei told the truth."
"But…I…but…. why not? It's not like you're a weakling like Naruto!"
"Naruto isn't weak." He wasn't. Sasuke had to work extra hard lately just to reach an impasse in their spars. If he slacked off, even a little, Naruto won.
"I'm not ready," Sasuke admitted. It was hard acknowledging that truth. No matter how much he worked and trained, he wasn't ready for the chunin exams. He was not strong enough to tear through the competition without hindrance. Most genin didn't know that records from past chunin exams, whether held in Leaf or not, were public to any official member of the Leaf forces. As a genin he was capable of seeing some of the files. He'd of course looked up that man's records. Then he went on to check out his parent's records and some of his aunt and uncles and cousins. On a whim he looked up his sensei's records. That was a real eye opener. Kakashi entered the exams when he was SIX and decimated his opponents.
Six?
Sasuke was still trying to wrap his mind around that. Sasuke just entered the Academy at that age. A year later he managed to perform his clan's Great Fireball Technique and win the ability to wear the clan fan on his clothing.
Kakashi Hatake was a beast on the level of that man.
Sakura giggled, then laughed outright. "You're funny, Sasuke-kun. Of course, you're ready. I'm going to kick Ino-pig's ass. You know her team is entering and you're more than strong enough to take out her lazy ass and fat bastard teammates. You could take them both on at the same time."
Sasuke grunted, "Hn." He really wasn't sure what else to say in response. Sakura just cut down a whole team with her words. He knew she liked him and didn't really care much about the other teams but he felt uncomfortable hearing her talk like that about their comrades.
Leaf was Leaf.
He winced and wondered if he sounded like that when he talked used to cut down Naruto and his other classmates. Probably worse. He had said some hateful things about a lot of people, but consoled himself with the fact that he 1) Wasn't going to talk that way about Leaf forces anymore and 2) More often than not said it to their didn't make it all right, but he figured it was better than talking smack behind their backs.
"Team 10 is a good, solid team. You shouldn't say such things and you shouldn't discount Ino. If she's got any sense, she's been busting her butt since she entered the forces."
"So, you think Ino's getting stronger?"
"I hope so. Strength is to be admired."
"You admire a strong woman?"
Sasuke knowing what Sakura was trying to ask, he answered the unspoken question. "I will not even consider a partner who is not strong enough to stand beside me on and off the battlefield. The ability to protect your loved ones is something I will always admire." He turned and headed toward his apartment. He had a crap-load of paperwork to get through tonight. He just hoped it wasn't breeding like he feared.

Kakashi followed the waitress through Akichimi's favorite barbecue place with Naruto trailing behind him. He took a seat in one of the booths. The blond took other. The young girl handed them both menus and asked them what they wanted. He glanced at the blond. The short look was enough to tell him the blond never visited a Korean barbecue joint before. He ordered them both drinks and lettuce.
"Promise me you'll eat some of the rice and veggies they've got out there."
The blond looked at him confusion clear on his face. Then he chuckled lightly. "Haku got to you too, huh? Don't worry. I'll eat my vegetables so he doesn't have a reason to come after you. Or me."
Kakashi knew he could take Haku but it wasn't worth the fight. Plus, he agreed with the brunet. Naruto needed to eat better. A ninja's body was his best weapon and what you put into it was what you got out.
"Never been to a Korean barbecue, right?"
"Nope," Naruto agreed, popping the last syllable.
"So, you go up to there," he pointed out the self serve area, "and pick the cuts of meat you want. They are already seasoned so you've just got to pick the flavors you want. We bring them here and cook them." He gestured to the grill between them ingrained in the tabletop. "Then eat, rise and repeat."
Naruto grinned widely. "That's awesome. Wish I knew about someplace like this before. Bet you Haku would love this."
Kakashi stood and waited for Naruto to join him. "So, how things going between you and Haku?"
The boy blushed bright red.
"That well, huh?" Kakashi leered at him.
Naruto straightened and he could see a fire blazing his eyes. He held up his hands. "Didn't mean it like that. Just happy you too are getting along in anyway." He was. He hadn't really thought about his youngest student and how he might be fairing until he took a good look at himself and saw something he didn't like. Lately, he wondered just how Naruto survived Leaf and thanked the gods for Haku. He would have to be an idiot not to see just how positively the brunet affected Naruto and he didn't just mean the escalation of social status Haku prompted.
The blond peered at him. He didn't seem to believe Kakashi and the silver haired ninja was ashamed by the fact that the boy had good reason. He supposed he had his infamous orange book to blame.
Naruto sighed after a moment and seemed to accept his statement. His words confirmed it. "Haku and I are good. It's almost scary just how well we get along. He really is awesome. I couldn't ask for a better friend, vassal, or…. boyfriend." the last part he seemed to add reluctantly.
Kakashi understood why. He was divulging important information and he wasn't sure if he could trust his sensei. "Glad to hear it. Haku is lucky to have you. You're a great person, Naruto," he replied and ruffled the thick strands of his blond hair.
The boy ducked and blushed brightly before beaming up at him. "Thanks, Kakashi-sensei."
They reached the food at that moment. Kakashi eagerly took up the chance to grab some meat and have an excuse not to talk. He was doing well so far but he understood himself to know any moment now he was going to stick his foot in it. He wasn't exactly the most social person in the village. Any ninja could tell you that.
Kakashi grabbed a lot of meat and few vegetables and some rice and made his way back to the table.
He started grilling and his first few pieces of meat were halfway done when Naruto returned balancing two very full plates. One was all meat while the other held an assortment of rice, noodles, and vegetables. The blond really was eating right.
Haku was a miracle worker and maybe, just maybe, Kakashi should get the pretty brunet a present. Before Kakashi agreed to teach the team the Hokage complained a time or two that Naruto had some of the worst eating habits in the village.
No matter what the elderly ninja said Naruto stuck to his noodles and broth.
"So, Naruto how have things been at home since we returned from Wave. How's the clan going?"
Naruto's face scrunched up in thought for a moment then straightened. "Pretty good actually. It's nice that I got Haku. He's way smarter than me, and any time I start to make a stupid mistake he tells me. It's hard though."
Kakashi nodded his head in agreement. "I know. I just took back control over my fealty clans and they all are a lot of work." He paused and wondered if he should admit it, then decided it was best. He wanted his students to see him as a strong leader, but human. "I opened up my clan home and well, it needs a lot of work. Thankfully, after all the years I've worked as a ninja I've managed to get some experience during construction and know enough to do most of the work myself."
"You've fixing your clan home? By yourself?"
He nodded his head in agreement.
"Wow!" Naruto exclaimed as he placed a few pieces of meat on the grill. Kakashi took that moment to pull down his mouth and gulp down the meats he cooked. Naruto turned back to him and glanced at his plate. Then he stared.
"What! That's not fair. The only reason I agreed to come was so I could see your face, Kakashi-sensei! Why?" he cried. "Why must you torture me? I just want to see if you've got buck-teeth or super fat lips or a massive jaw or –"
Kakashi laughed, cutting the blond off. "Didn't know you were so in love with me, Naruto-kun?" he purred. "Should I warn sweet Haku?"
Naruto pouted. "It's not like that Kakashi-sensei, and you know it." He snorted. "Plus, Haku is much prettier. No way would I take you over him even if you asked me," he huffed.
Kakashi choked and than laughed. It was loud, full bellied and honest. Naruto really was something.
"How about this? I'll show you my face when you became Hokage, deal?"
Naruto's gaze tightened in contemplation. "No deal. You have to stop wearing your mask when I become Hokage. NO more mask. Ever," he countered.
Kakashi's jaw dropped. The kid didn't even know why he wore the mask. "I could be hideously ugly and you would be to blame for forcing my face upon Leaf. You know that, right?"
Naruto sniffed. "I'll believe it when I see it." And then he gave him a fox's grin.
The boy was his father's son and his mother's child. Though Minato and Kushina didn't live to raise him their traits were evident in the young blond before him. "Deal."

AN: The first scene was born from a review from Big-Babidi who pictured Sakura being the only one training because the others were bogged down with paperwork. Thanks, love! I was trying to outline my next scene (this particular one) when I got the email from his/her review and wham! the idea was born. The moral of the story is...REVIEW!
AN2: Thank you everyone for reading and extra thanks for the reviews. *Smooches*
