Chapter One: The Hell Bell Test

Naruto was doodling on a piece of paper. At least that's what his teammates Sasuke and Sakura thought as they waited on their new sensei to arrive so they could take the test to determine if they actually could become genin.

What his teammates didn't realize was that Naruto wasn't actually doodling, no he was drawing a basic seal to allow him to better blend in with nature. The seal would absorb any of his chakra that left his body and wasn't being used for a jutsu and transform it into nature chakra and surrounding him in a thin layer.

The seal once activated would only last about a half hour before it burned out so he was drawing a few of them, them burning out was also one of the reasons he couldn't make it a permanent seal on him. He didn't actually have any on him physically yet, on his clothing sure, but he had only thought of making the seals into tattos recently since he just learned the kage bunshin and learned about having the fox sealed into his gut.

Sealing he had always loved doing fuinjutsu but to be able to hold something as fearsome as the Kyuubi into him, that was just amazing. So now he wanted to prove to himself that his fuinjutsu skills were not some 'worthless hobby' he would make something completely awesome! Dreams of being named hokage for his fuinjutsu skills with jiji down on the ground defeated raced through his head.

Finishing the seals he put them away subtly placing one of the paper tags on his arm underneath his jumpsuit, one pulse of chakra would activate it. About an hour later the third hour since they showed up and Kakashi finally showed up in a puff of smoke alerting his students to his presence eliciting Sakura and Naruto to shout simultaneously "Your late!"

"Maa maa, I got lost on the road of life." he stated simply not even looking up from his orange book that had the number 18 on it and crossed out with a giant red stop symbol. The book which they could clearly see was labeled, 'Icha Icha: Paradise' Sakura twitched at seeing the book muttering to herself about perverts. Sasuke's face was carefully blank while Naruto just rolled his eyes a bit of a grin on his face.

Kakashi than took a few minutes to explain to them that they had to get a bell off of him before the timer went off and if they didn't than he would be failing them. Than with a bit of advice "Come at me with the intent to kill." the bell test started. The three genin jumped away quickly hiding and Naruto activated his seal completely hiding from any chakra sensors. Than finding the seal on his outfit he pushed a bit of chakra into it and his outfit changed to one that blended in perfectly with the forest environment. His hat also appeared covering his hair.

Smirking he shifted around to the back as he watched Sasuke attack Kakashi. Waiting for the perfect moment to strike he than quickly and silently dashed towards his teacher and reached for a bell.

Only for Kakashi to disappear and him to be faced with a giant fireball coming towards him. Eyes widening in panic he felt heart stopping fear enter him. His life flashed before his eyes, he saw himself as a child sitting on the swingset as other children played together.

He saw himself standing by himself as a crowd laughed at him for being a failure.

A montage of Sakura hitting him for trying to be her friend and go on a date with her.

Sasuke always being ahead of him.

He hadn't even accomplished his dream yet.

He had so much to live for so much to do!

He didn't want to die.

With some instinct he clasped his hands together in a tiger seal at the last moment and he saw something shot out of the ground faster than he could see stopping the fire, but whatever had stopped it disappeared with the last of the fire.

"Naruto?" He heard a voice ask faintly.

His eyes were still wide but slowly he looked around and saw the burnt ground in front of him and that he was unharmed, "I'm still alive?" he muttered slightly shocked.

A hand waved in front of his face startling him and causing him to fall backwards. "Glad to see you back with us. Are you alright? I would hate if you died on me before I could fail you Hokage-sama would force me to do the paperwork if you did." Kakashi asked blandly already turning back to his book.

"I'm fine… just shocked." Naruto answered truthfully a bad feeling settling into his gut about how the man asked the question.

The man gave a slow nod, "What jutsu did you use to protect yourself?" he asked a curious tone in his voice his eyes still on his book.

Naruto shook his head frowning as he answered honestly, "I don't know it just appeared."

It was at that time the bell went off. They were led back to the posts were Sakura was tied to the post. "Why am I the one tied to the post sensei?" she asked.

The man gave her an eye grin that seemed to actually be frightening as he stated bluntly, "Oh that's because you were the most useless one out of the three. In fact your one of the most useless kunoichi I have ever seen. You didn't do anything during this test besides for faint after witnessing a basic genjutsu" The girl gaped at him tears filling her eyes.

The other two boys were left gaping, Sasuke through a slight eye widening and his mouth falling open just a bit and Naruto had a full blown comically wide eyes and mouth all the way down to the ground.

"Of course you two are pathetic as well, but at least you two aren't the worst I've seen. Tall dark and broody has a small bit more chakra than your average genin, but that's about all you have going for you, your strategy was poor and your taijutsu pathetic. I didn't even notice you had any skills other than that pathetic fireball. More like an ember." the white haired man said viciously causing Sasuke to wince and scowl glaring at the man.

"Than we come to our last member the dead last of your year. High stealth skills from what I saw to be able to sneak up on me, but otherwise poor awareness of your environment as you didn't know what duck-butt was up to. If you even have any other skills I can't comment since I didn't see any of them, but based on the academy reports I would say they are non existent as well." Naruto fell down a black cloud over his head.

"In short, you three are probably the worst students I have ever seen and have no chance of being anything more than failures. You three didn't even guess the true reasoning of the test did you?"

"True reason?" Sakura parroteted.

"Yes do you really expect three freshly released baby faced genin such as yourself can actually face off against a jonin like me and win?" he asked derisively his singular eye glaring at them. He paused for a moment to let the question sink in, "No you three have no chance of beating me, which is why the true purpose of this test was not to get the bell by yourself… but to work together and try and get a bell by working together."

"But there was only two bells…?" Sakura questioned out loud slowly as her tears started to fade away "You… purposely set it up so we would fight against each other, didn't you?" She asked her eyes widening in realization.

"Of course in the purpose of being fair as was requested… I will be giving you a second chance." The white haired man said his one visible eye narrowed at them and Naruto could almost feel the hatred and disdain pouring off of the man. He had heard rumours from a few of the older kids about the 'one eyed white haired bastard' but he didn't think they were true. He didn't think that anyone could truly be cruel enough to drive a kid to suicide. But this man did this man truly was cruel enough. Naruto shuddered as that one menacing eye stared into them directly as if staring into there very soul and judging them unworthy of even existing.

"We will be having a retest after lunch, do not feed the useless pink monstrosity." he said turning and vanishing in a swirl of leaves.

"Y-you know I heard rumours about kakashi before we started but I didn't believe them… bow I do." Naruto muttered to the other two.

"What rumors?" Sasuke asked coal black eyes narrowing in on him.

"I heard that he drove a kid to suicide and a few others into depression in which they tried but were luckily stopped in time."

"W-wow" Sakura muttered scared.

"Guys I may want to be a ninja and be hokage… but should we really try and get this guy as our sensei? If the man hates us than…" Naruto trailed off.

"Than what if he doesn't bother to train us?" Sasuke finished for him.

"M-maybe w-we should f-fail from him and h-hope for a better s-sensei." Sakura suggested timidly stuttering like Hinata.

Naruto hesitantly nodded, "We would be better off training by ourselves than with a sensei who hated us."

Sasuke was quiet for a moment before agreeing he needed to get stronger… but Kakashi didn't look like he would train them. "Lets just eat." he muttered cutting Sakura free who nodded shakily as the three ate together.

The sky seemingly blackened and in a flash of lighting a white haired one eyed demon appeared in front of them causing them to scream and jump back. "How dare you three disobey my rules" he hissed at them as they stumbled backwards tripping and falling down there eyes wide. "YOU dare to break the rules?" He questioned them his hair seeming to glow like lightning as suddenly the lightning and thunder stopped the dark clouds disappear and he gave them a grin with his eye. "You pass."

The three newly passed genin did the only logical thing when they realized this demon in front of them was now there permanent sensei.

They screamed.

The three genin looked at each other and unconsciously huddled closer together as Kakashi stepped in front of them his eye still seemingly grinning mockingly down at them. "Now now my cute little genin… you realized that the true purpose of this test was to enforce teamwork. So here's a little life advice for you." he said as the air around him stilled and became threatening once again, "Those who disobey the rules are trash, but those who don't protect their comrades are scum worse than the lowest lowlifes." the air seemed to crackle around him, "So if I ever see any of your hurting each other in any way shape or form then I will make all of you suffer together." he said a sadistic gleam in that smiling demonic black void eye of his. "Meet tomorrow 5 AM at the front gate. Do not be late." with that last bit he chuckled darkly and he vanished in a swirl of leaves.

The newly minted Team Seven stared at each other one thought going through their mind, 'What have we gotten ourselves into?'

A/n Well... what do you think of Kakashi so far? A lot more brutal than his anime self *sweatdrops* anyways I'm not going to try to bash any characters. Well this is hopefully the beginning of something fun. This story will either be called Akuma-sensei, or Fuinjutsu Ghost. Please Review to tell me what you think even if its just to tell me I'm the worst author ever. Bye all of you!
