Bab 33: Chapter 48
"Hello, all. I'm glad to see you're okay, Sasuke. I think we got off on the wrong foot," Kakashi said as he came up to the three of us. Sakura, Sasuke, and I were eating the lunches I had brought. After Kakashi's bell test, Sasuke woke up just before reaching the hospital. At Sakura's insistence, he resigned himself the indignity of being examined by a medical-nin, who declared that he would be fine with a little rest.
Thus we had returned to the training ground to learn our fate and have lunch.
"Do you want some lunch, Hatake-san? I made it myself," I offered beguilingly. Kakashi stared at the black lunchbox.
"Maybe some other time. I brought my own, actually," he said politely.
Sasuke put his food down and pulled the bell out of his pocket. "So did we pass?"
Kakashi's eye gleamed as he said, "Yes, you pass, all three of you. Congratulations." Sasuke's smirk was extra satisfied and Sakura pumped her fist enthusiastically. I continued to pluck roasted vegetables from my bento, eating with as little reaction as possible. I was extremely relieved though.
He sat down across from me, in our small lunch circle on the ground, and asked, "You three showed an amazing level of teamwork and skill during your test." He tapped on his cheek. "I don't think you learned that at the Academy. Would anyone care to explain how you know each other?"
My two teammates suddenly became very interested in their lunches. Waving my chopstick in the air, I explained, "Pinkie Pie and I have a mutual friend in Yamanaka Ino. Twilight Sparkle and I have a mutual enemy."
"...Twilight Sparkle?" asked Sasuke, his eyebrow raising in curiosity.
"It's an inside joke."
"What about yourself, Haru? You're no ordinary genin. I'm especially curious how you knew I was going to attack by pulling one of you into the ground?" After Kakashi's question, my two new teammates turned to me, wanting to hear the answer too.
"I have visions of the past and future," I said with a shrug. Sasuke showed no reaction but Sakura's jaw dropped, tilting her forward from its weight.
The girl punched me in the back of the head. "Does that mean you knew you were going to be on my team?"
Sheepishly, I explain, "No, no, I don't know anything about my own future. Just hints about other people's lives. Not even everyone, just some people. I kinda figured that you and Sasuke would end up with Naruto, actually, which is why I made you do all that training. You know? So you wouldn't be completely useless."
While I fended off Sakura's attempts at strangling me, Kakashi asked, "What makes you think that Naruto would be on Team Seven?"
"Just thought it would happen," I said honestly. I had expected to be with Hinata or with a couple people outside the Rookie Nine like Kiba ended up with.
"Sasuke, you demonstrated some very impressive ninjutsu and taijutsu. However, it was clear that you and Sakura were not used to working together. And I'm not quite sure what your role in the team was, Haru."
Sakura explained, "Well, before you arrived at the training ground, Haru explained if we had to fight a single target, Sasuke was supposed to fight them immediately. I would use shuriken and ninja wire to support from a distance and split your concentration between the two of us while cutting off your escape routes. He said that he would keep an eye on the situation from a distance while making sure that we wouldn't lose sight of the target. If we were ever unsure, we were supposed to check where Haru was looking to know where you were."
"So you're a chakra sensor?" Kakashi asked me.
"A really bad one, but the best out of the three of us," I admitted.
The girl continued, "Eventually when Sasuke felt tired, he would switch with Haru and view the fight from a distance with his Sharingan to regain his strength and make sure nothing unexpected happened. That way, we would wear you down eventually until you made a mistake and, uh, we could go for the kill, he said."
"And what is that supposed to mean, Haru?" Kakashi turned his eye back to me.
"It means to complete the objective," I answered.
"One more question for Haru. Care to explain your second clone? The one made out of crows? That's how you took the bells, isn't it?"
"They're my summon," I admitted. It annoyed me to reveal one of my tricks but this was my genin team. "Sasuke should be getting his clan's summoning contract now that he's a proper genin. And Sakura isn't destined to get a summon until she meets Tsunade."
"Tsunade the Sannin?" said unsure. Kakashi's surprise was clear in his voice.
"Huh? Who's that?" Sakura asked.
"A really, really pretty woman," I answered. "And a really strong kunoichi. You'll like her."
"Welp, I guess that's it. Be at the front of the administration building at 7 AM tomorrow morning..." our teacher told us.
"Wait! I want you to teach us fuinjutsu and kenjutsu!" I shouted before the man disappeared.
"Maa, I'm a busy man. Couldn't you get someone else to do it?" Kakashi said, standing up and putting his hands in his pockets.
"Do you ever stop thinking about training, Haru?" Sakura cut in.
"Do you ever stop thinking about Sasuke?" I retorted. It wasn't my best comeback. Of course she didn't. "Hatake-sensei! Teach us kenjutsu!"
Kakashi laughed. "Haru, you can just call me Kakashi. And if you really want to learn kenjutsu, I have something that might interest you. Anyways, remember, 7 AM tomorrow you'll start your first real mission." With that, Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke.
In frustration, I yelled, "Arggh, he didn't teach us anything!"
Sasuke handed me his empty bento box and left. "Later."
I turned to Sakura, visibly annoyed.
"What? I'm not done yet! Even though you're an insane tyrant, your cooking is still good," she said, unwilling to abandon her meal.
I didn't bother replying and simply considered her future, wondering if she would still meet Tsunade one day. I had no idea.
