NARUTO: Demon's rebirth in Naruto

Chapter 12: The hidden Agenda



After kakashi said the official test begins now. sasuke moved above the branches, his figure obscured by dense trees and leaves, while sakura crouched low, attempting to hide beneath the bushy undergrowth.

Kakashi is satisified, "ninja lesson one- hide yourself from your enimies." Seeing Naruto he siad."But you are a bit different than others!" 

"Why aren't you hiding like your teammates?" kakashi asked, to know what he gonna say.

Naruto crossed his arms and smirked. "you're an elite jonin, sensei. You can sense us no matter where we hide when you are near us. If they think they are hiding perfecting from you and they are safe, that would be foolish."

From their hiding spots, both sakura and sasuke stiffened at his words. Slowly, they emerged from their hiding places.

Sakura thoughts 'he is an elite jonin how can we possibly win' with irritation.

"Well then," kakashi said, his voice tinged with curiosity. "if you're so perceptive, what are you planning to do? a head-on attack?"

Naruto shook his head. "No sensei, I am not a fool to charge directly at you. you're stronger than me. what I want…is a chance to overpower you."

With that, Naruto made his hand sign. Shadow Clone Jutsu!

In an instant, five identical Narutos appeared around him.

"Scatter!" the original Naruto commanded. His clones along with him dispersed in all directions, vanishing into the surrounding terrain, leaving behind Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura alone.

"Let's see what you've got," kakashi muttered, turning his attention back to the remaining two students.

As sasuke run deeper into the forest, Sakura ran after him, her voice pleading, "sasuke, let's discuss a plan, let me help you!"

But before she could catch up, kakashi materialized in front of her, seemingly out of thin air. startled, sakura suddenly stopped, her wide eyes fixed on her sensei.

"you seem to be in a hurry" Kakashi said, his voice calm yet chilling.

Sakura barely had time to react before Kakashi weaved a hand sign - Genjutsu. sakura's vision darkened, and suddenly, she saw Sasuke crawling towards her, many kunai are stabbed and blood is pored out, sasuke looked pale and in deathbed state said "sakura....help me. please".

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" sakura screams.

"No! Sasuke...!" tears streaming down her face before she collapsed, unconscious on the ground.

Kakashi watches all this and thinks he may have overdone to her but justifies himself.

Hearing Sakura's cry, Sasuke turned his head. He recognized her voice. "sakura" . must be a genjutsu. Not far ahead, Kakashi leaned casually against a tree, nose buried in his infamous orange book.

"I'm not like her, I won't be caught over with your simple tricks " Sasuke said confidentiality.

Kakashi said still reading the book "say that after you've managed to get the bell, my dear Sasuke."

Sauske already installs a trap, He pulled a kunai from his pouch and launched it at kakashi, cutting a thin rope hidden behind kakashi. In an instant, a trap was sprung—several kunai launched toward kakashi's position. 

Kakashi sidestepped the incoming kunais with ease. But that was what sasuke needed. he closed the gap, throwing a punch aimed directly at kakashi's face.

Kakashi caught Sasuke's fist with one hand. "predictable------"

Before Kakashi could finish, Sasuke spun, using the momentum to deliver a kick with his other leg at his head. Kakashi caught the kick with his free hand, but Sasuke grinned and bent at the waist, his hand brushing against Kakashi's waist.

Riiing! The faint jingle of a bell echoed. Sasuke's fingers grazed one of the bells, and Kakashi's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

" This kid..., you are not that simple. I grant you that" Kakashi admitted, letting go of Sasuke. The two separated, each assessing the other.

Realizing he couldn't win in close combat, Sasuke jumped back, weaving hand signs "Force", "Tiger" rapidly. "Fire style: Fireball jutsu!" he shouted, releasing a massive flames toward Kakashi.

Kakashi's eye widened " WHAT! a genin can't do fire jutsu, takes too much usage of chakra!". Kakashi muttered to himself really surprized.

The circular area, where kakshi stood gets damaged. sauske sees to his sides and upside looking for Kakashi's next move, but the jonin had disappeared from sight.

Before Sasuke could react, two hands erupted from the ground beneath him, pulling him into the dirt. He struggled, but Kakashi had already trapped him in the ground, leaving only Sasuke's head above the ground.

From a distance, one of Naruto's shadow clones observed the entire exchange.

The real naruto who is above a tall tree, mutters to himself, "There's more to this test than just getting the bells. Sensei's not going all out. He's using just basic tricks. He probably doesn't actually want us to fail… but to find the hidden test. what could it be?

there are two possibilites

- one he may want us to know how we deal when an unfavorable situation occurs as a team.

-two he may actually want two people instead of three

chances are 50:50. what could be the real reason?

why not i use these two guys, as a baits. if its one we 3 will pass and its two I will pass."

after analyzing the real naruto commands clone naruto.

After kakashi disappeared, naruto approached sasuke, who glared up at him from his trapped position. "took you long enough," sasuke snapped. "get me out."

Naruto grabbed sasuke by the arms and yanked with all his strength. sasuke popped out of the ground, but not without a few scratches.

"Ahhhhh! That hurts!" Sasuke growled. "why didn't you use a jutsu to dig me out?"

Naruto shrugged. "didn't think that far ahead."

Before Sasuke could argue, Naruto gestured for him to follow. "Come on. Sakura's nearby. We'll need her too."

They found Sakura still unconscious under the bush. She is sleeping peacefully. 

Naruto asks sauske if he has any water reserve. sauske said "No"

Naruto bent towards her, gently tapping her cheek. "Hey! wake up."

No response from her. he sighs and uses force to slap her cheek. Sakura startled and jolted awake in surprise. "Ow! who hit me?"

Sasuke raised his hand, pointing silently at Naruto.

Sakura glared at Naruto, clenching her fists. "Naruto! You—"

"Cool down " Naruto interrupted. "I tried being gentle with you at first, but you didn't wake up. so, i had to do, since i need your help. Sorry for that."

Sauske nods.

Sakura sees sauske and then again stared at naruto, surprised by his tone said "ok, I will forgive you this once". realizing now naruto is different from the past naruto who used to take her punches. he wasn't the same naruto she used to berate before

"Now listen," Naruto said firmly. "I think there is a hidden agenda in this test. I think sensei wants to know how we deal as a team when an unfavorable situation occurs. he wants to see if we can work together when it looks like only two of us can pass."

Sasuke and Sakura stared at him, dumbfounded. "What? are you sure!" they both exclaimed.

Sakura also acknowledges it saying. "I think what Naruto said makes sense." but sauske looks non believing. 

Naruto looking the tension of one agreeing and one not agreeing says "Here's the deal. You will follow my lead. after getting the bells. I will give those two bells to you two, how about this."

After saying it. both of them agrees.

Naruto says now the plan is....
