YITLOF: Ch: 33) Test! Part 2 (Patreon)

“Can I?” Sakura’s eyes lit up.

“Mmm… I mean we are all meeting tomorrow morning anyway so if you wish to stay here you can if it makes things easier for you.” Yuki had figured since their house was closer to the meeting spot that they could all go together in the morning if Sakura stayed the night.

“Okay!” Sakura quickly agreed while Hinata pursed her lips. But she would not say anything in dissatisfaction since Yuki had already offered.

The girls spent the rest of the day together happily chatting about this and that. Even doing some training. After bathing, the three went to the bedroom and got ready for bed. Hinata managed to accidentally stand in a spot that blocked Yuki’s body from Sakura’s view as they changed. Sakura did not seem to realize anything because she had one thing on her mind the entire time. ‘Where am I going to sleep….’

But when she saw Hinata and Yuki climbing into the same bed her face turned bright red. “Hmmm? Sakura not sleeping?”

“Huh? The bed?” Sakura asked absentmindedly.

“Oh? Sorry, do you want a futon instead? Hinata and I have been sharing a bed for so long that I forgot many would not like doing that.” Yuki scratched her nose.  She had gotten so used to sharing a bed with someone that this thought had gone out the window.

“No! It’s fine I can sleep with you!” Sakura quickly answered before climbing into bed as well. That night, Sakura was so nervous she couldn’t sleep…..

At the training ground, Sakura was leaning against Yuki’s shoulder, sound asleep, while Yuki and Hinata chatted. In front of them, Naruto paced back and forth with a sour expression on his face. “Why is he so late!?”

“Naruto, I hate to say it but Kakashi is always late no matter what. He has a thing about stopping going to the bathhouse to peek in on the gir…. Ouch!” Hinata held the top of her head and looked up at the man staring back down at her with one eye covered.

“And that is enough out of you.” Kakashi said with a bitter laugh. He was caught peeking once and now he is being labeled as some pervert like Jiraiya.

“Oh?” Yuki grinned. “To think you upped your skills once more.”

Yuki was actually quite surprised that Kakashi was able to sneak up on them. She had been staying alert this entire time. She never expected him to be able to sneak up on her. But hearing Yuki’s words Kakashi wanted to yell out: “It’s because of you two girls that I have to keep bettering myself so I am not left in the dust!” But he held it in since Naruto and Sakura were here.

Kakashi glanced at the group and saw that all but Sakura were in decent condition. He raised an eyebrow when he saw the leftovers of whatever Naruto ate on the corner of his lips. Even Sakura did not look like someone who had not eaten. He could only sigh knowing these kids did not listen to him which made one of his plans fly right out the window. But when his eyes landed firmly on Sakura he wondered what happened to her for her to be sleeping so soundly. “Sakura is?”

“Ahhh… She slept at my house last night and I guess due to the strange environment she did not sleep well.” Yuki explained. While nudging Sakura awake.

Kakashi on the other hand sighed and kinda felt bad for Sakura. Out of everyone, he knew Yuki was dense about the matters around her concerning who likes who and knowing Yuki’s house he was sure that Sakura ended up sleeping in Yuki’s bed which was why she couldn’t sleep. He felt pity for the girl but this was also good training for her.

“Okay since you are all here we will get right to it. I have three bells on my waist. Your task is to take a bell. Any questions?” Kakashi smiled at the group while Hinata and Yuki rolled their eyes.

“Ne! Ne! Kakashi sensei if there are only three bells then how are we all supposed to pass?” Naruto asked which caught the newly awakened Sakaura’s attention as well. She also wondered how they were all supposed to pass or in fact how they were going to take a bell from a jonin in the first place. She was more concerned about herself than anything. She had no doubts that Yuki and Hinata could get a bell but that would only leave one bell remaining. She couldn’t help but turn and glare at Naruto as if he was enemy number one.

Sakura’s reaction did not escape Kakashi’s observation, making him snicker on the inside. ‘Maybe this will be interesting after all!’

Clearing his throat, Kakashi Raised his hand. “Now then, let’s get the show on the road shall we?” After saying this he lowered his hand and shouted: “Begin!”

Yuki and Hinata grabbed Sakura by the hand and dashed off into the nearby woods. While a certain young boy stood in front of Kakashi with his hands on his hips. “I challenge you!”

Kakashi stared at Naruto with a stupefied expression wondering where this idiot came from. “Ummm…. Naruto, this is not how the test works….”

“Haha! You are just scared of the great me! Here I come!” Naruto rolled up his sleeves and dashed towards Kakashi who only let out a depressed sigh. He had hoped that after spending time with Yuki and the others that Naruto would pick up some of their habits but it seemed Naruto was a bit lacking in the brain cell department.
