The substance spattered onto the grass and started shifting almost immediately.
Kakashi was busy dodging the little dragon, and using a kunai in one hand to fend off the occasional kunai and shuriken. With great reluctance, he put his book away. It looked as if he'd have to deal with certain distractions first.
When he glanced back, he noticed that the glop had expanded to four times its original size and had shifted color slightly. Odd, but the stuff didn't look dangerous.
A tree abruptly grabbed him.
Then Sasuke was in front of him, throwing a fireball at him while Sakura tried to sneak up from behind and to the left.
Okay, time for Plan B. Take little know-nothing wet-behind-ears genin seriously.
Sasuke saw the whole thing as a result of having blown the fireball and then rolled off to the side to draw kunai for when their sensei did the obvious thing and dodge.
Except he didn't dodge, he didn't shrug out of the tree branches. He burst through the tree branches, cut his fireball in HALF with some electrical technique as he went through it, then charged Naruto's position.
The little dragon didn't like that, diving down at high speeds, but the jonin managed to grab it and whip the beast into a tree without slowing down.
"Windy! Bind!" tried Naruto, managing to fall back just enough that the spinning kick missed his head.
"First, taijutsu," indicated Kakashi, who then did a beatdown of Naruto that was very precise, managing to avoid each of the attempts of Windy to capture him as he did so.
Naruto slammed into a tree and slid to the ground, Windy then pulled back into a defensive position near Naruto.
"Second, ninjutsu," said Kakashi, vanishing from view.
A second later, Sasuke still had a good view of the fight - it was just that he was buried from the neck down.
"Well," opined Sasuke. "This certainly sucks."
"Third, genjutsu," said Kakashi, making a few handsigns and then thrusting his hands at Sakura.
Sakura took a few shaky steps, staring all around her. "What is going on? What was..."
Then she stared at Sasuke and screamed. Then fainted.
Sasuke frowned. "Okay. You may not believe this, but we can be a lot more impressive with a little warning."
"Hmmm, you may have a point there," said Kakashi. "So maybe a second chance. But first... lunch."
"So," said Sasuke.
"We can't feed Sakura, and there's a chance the two of us can be a team," said Naruto.
Hibana made a noise that somehow conveyed disgust. And a headache.
"I'm on a diet anyway!" said Sakura. "I'm not hungry. You can't risk your own cha-mrph?!"
"Chew, Sakura," said Naruto. "You'll need your strength for round two."
"Mrph mph mmmph mrfff!" protested Sakura.
"Here," said Sasuke, holding a water bottle where she could reach it.
"Eh, if he fails us, I'll just come up with a spectacular prank worthy of vengeance from all three of us," said Naruto as Sakura drank.
Sakura blinked as the water bottle was pulled back, considering that. "What the hell. I'm in."
Sasuke nodded. Certainly his plans for getting stronger would be assisted by having these two to assist.
"YOU GUYS!" growled Kakashi, suddenly there and pumping out Killing Intent.
There was a moment of cringing, especially from the dragon with the headache, before Kakashi dropped the projection. "You pass."
