Northstar Fragment: Team Problems [Episode 220462]

by Kestral

"Who decided this setup?" asked Sasuke Uchiha. The 'truce' between Ino and Sakura had lasted until the two had introduced themselves to the Jonin named Kakashi.

Kakashi nodded as he stood next to the Uchiha heir as the two of them watched the spectacle of two... now three... err four girls now in the process of a fight in which taijutsu was NOT displayed.

Five girls? Six?! Seven?! Okay, what was that girl from the takiyoki stand doing in there?

"Truly, the name Legion of Sasuke Fangirls is appropriate," said an old man from the sidelines.

Hairpulling - check.
Cheekstretching - check
Slapping - check.
Kicking/punching/etcetera - BIG check.

Martial arts manuevers were NOT being displayed.

"Would you all just STOP this?" asked Sasuke. "This is SO annoying. And embarassing."

The group ignored him, even if he WAS the cause of all this. Clothes were being ripped. The gathering audience, which was still occasionally broken by yet another fangirl showing up, declaring that Sasuke's lips were hers to claim (or some similar sentiment) and charging into the fray.

"Hmmm, very bad," said Jiraiya, showing up for some unknown reason.

"Aren't they a bit young for you to show up?" asked Kakashi.

"True," admitted Jiraiya. "As this is research for a book, I may just be able to work it into a scene."

"Oh?" said Kakashi, thinking it sounded more intriguing that way.

"Can I be transferred to another team?" asked Sasuke. "They'll just hold me back."

"I suppose we ought to put an end to this," said Kakashi, clearing his voice. "Excuse me? You. All. Fail! That is all."

The fighting suddenly stopped. Sasuke couldn't help but notice that Sakura had Megumi in a headlock, who was throttling Satsuki, who was pulling the cheeks of Ino, who had her foot buried in Sakura's backside. Beyond that, it was entirely too tangled to tell what body part belonged to whom.

"What?!" asked the crowd.

"I'm only supposed to oversee the test for Team 7, but I'm recommending that everyone here NOT have to go back to the Academy. No, I think it would be better if you were banned from being a ninja altogether." Kakashi shrugged and then simply walked away.

"WHAT?!" yelled the tangle of bodies.

"Hey," said Sasuke.

"I'll ask," said Jiraiya. "Maybe we can find you another team. You didn't directly participate."

"Absolutely not," agreed Sasuke.

"On the other hand you WERE the cause," said Jiraiya, continuing on. "It'll be a first. I don't think I've ever seen this situation come up."


"So we get a mission for our test?" said Kiba as he walked along with Akamaru sitting atop his head. "Cool."

"We'll see how well you do before I assign any title of 'cool'," said Yuhi.

"So, can we get any details?" asked Naruto. He eyed Hinata casually as they walked. Yuhi had casually mentioned that Hinata had a problem with self-confidence. So he could check when they came to a rest, there being a pressure point to counteract such things.

"Why?" asked Yuhi.

"You're not going to tell us?" asked Hinata. "We have to go in blind?"

"No, the test has already started," answered Yuhi.

"Oh," said Hinata with a nod. "I see."

"Hmph," said Naruto, looking confused. "Well, we got to work out battleplans and such. Figure out what everyone's gonna do and how to do it."
