At the end of all things, there is a waiting room.
It's fairly typical, as these things go. Thin, scratchy carpet. Fish tank with still fish. Old gossip magazines. Incredibly uncomfortable chairs. The low buzz of a television or radio or something somewhere else, words indistinguishable. No windows, no clock, no door, and the receptionist's desk was shuttered.
This one's a bit special, though.
He'll finally use this opening to launch some shuriken - hopefully pushing Kakashi closer to the traps.
He takes a single step in that direction, leaning the rest of the distance necessary to dodge.
The trap is right there.
He quickly follows Sasuke's lead and jumps up into the tree. He follows after Kakashi, seemingly acting reckless and trying to get to the bell, but actually trying to push him further towards the trap.
She'll jump in.
(She's less subtle about the pushing him part. She knows that trap, though, knows how to trigger it - )
Seems like he doesn't have much choice but to get caught in the trap. Oh no.
"Oh no, you caught me," he says, dangling upside down by one foot.
He seems so surprised. 'Naruto' tries to hide his amusement.
"Are you gonna give up? Or do we have give some more teamwork examples?'
"Well, there is still only one bell," he says casually, giving it another demonstrative jingle. "That means two of you are going to fail, even now."
"That's well and good for Sasuke and Raizume, but I think poor Naruto is feeling a little left out."
Annoyed sound.
...Kakashi's not going to stop being Like That, is he.
"I'd rather have Raizume as a sensei," he says after a few moments, voice surly.
"Enjoy your time in the Academy for the next ten years!" he says brightly.
"We're not going anywhere. Plus, Raizume would be way better. She's not old and senile like you."
"Well, I am only a genin. Not proper for me to teach other genin. Which is why Inazuma should be jounin-sensei."
Arrrrrghhhhhh he hates this feeling, like there's a noise caught in his throat and his head's eating itself and he doesn't want to talk.
He snatches the bell from Kakashi and throws it to Inazuma.
His expression turns serious. "You three, meet me back at the monument stone."
And he disappears. Again.
He shrugs. "Might as well, I'm pretty sure he figured it out straight away."
"We can work on it more. Spend more time observing each other and maybe Sasuke too."
"Yeah! Getting him to pretend to be us might be hard, though, he doesn't talk enough."
And towards the memorial stone?
