"Woah!" everyone said. 

"Anyway, you get the idea." Kakashi said while standing upside down. 

"Focus, you're chakra at the bottoms of your feet and use it to connect to the tree." I replied 

"Ok, great, even if we can climb trees, how is that going to help us in the fight against Zabuza?" Sakura shouted. 

"It's the only way you can fight him, Sakura. This is the goal of this exercise. By learning how to send a concentrated about of chakra to parts of your body you are able to combine physical and spiritual energy. Anyway, if you can master this you will be able to master any jutsu. Well, theoretically." Kakashi replied. 

"The second point is to learn to maintain your chakra levels. when a ninja is focused in battle, it's even harder to maintain and control his/her chakra levels. If you don't learn this, you will ultimately put yourself and your teammates in danger." I replied and then saw Kakashi launched three kunai at the genin. 

"Use these kunai to mark the tree at the highest you can climb without using your hands Then repeat this process over and over again, until you can maintain your chakra." Kakashi said 

"Alright, that's enough talking, why don't you start?" I yelled down 

"I'm, so ready for this! This will be no sweat at all! Dattebayo!" Naruto shouted 

'I have a bad feeling about this.' I thought as I watched the genin begin to gather there chakra. I then noticed the ground. 

'Hmmm, it looks like Sasuke, used too little chakra, Naruto, used way too much, and Sakura, heh, she's got this.' I thought. My suspicion then came true both Sasuke and Naruto didn't make it up the tree. 

"Way to go Sakura." I smiled and she sat next to me. 

"Thanks, Y/n-sensei." She smiled.

"Hmm, I'm not surprised, Sakura, who knows the most about chakra can also maintain it. hmm, who said they were going to become Hokage again? And as for the Uchiha clan, maybe they're not so great after all." Kakashi taunted. I then looked over at Kakashi and shook my head. 

'I know he wants to motivate them but...' I thought 

"Shut up, Kakashi-sensei! You talk too much!" Sakura yelled and pouted. 

I then nodge Sakura shoulder and she looked at me in surprise. 

"Sakura, don't worry about things so much. Just, focus on yourself." I replied and she nodded. 

"But, Sasuke-kun's gonna hate me now." she replied and I looked at her confused. 

"I'm not sure what your talking about, you didn't do anything wrong. You should be proud of yourself. You were the first one to complete this 'exam' and you shouldn't let anyone make you feel otherwise." I said and she looked up at me in shocked. I then began to mentally sweat.'I'm not good with this whole talking thing...Did I say something wrong?' I thought. 

"Uh, thanks, Sensei that means a lot." Sakura said and patted my shoulder. Sakura then jumps down and Naruto walks over to her. I hop across to the next tree and jump down next to Sasuke. 

"Hmm, you're doing pretty well." I said looking up at the markings on the tree. 

"Tsk, Well, not good enough!" Sasuke said angrily and I sighed. I then pulled him aside and began talking to him. 

"Listen, Otōto, you need to calm down and focus. You can't start getting angry over someone else's progression." I said and Sasuke interrupted me. 

"I'm not!" He replied and I looked at him in disbelief. 

"Sure, sure. Whatever you say." I look over my shoulder and notice Naruto walking back to his tree, and begins focusing his chakra. he climbs the tree once more and reaches past his mark. 

"Wah, how did?" Sasuke said and I flicked his headband. 

"Listen, why don't you go ask Naruto for help?" I said

"and why would I do that?" Sasuke tsked and I glared. 

"because I said so." I said in a low menacing voice 

"F-fine." Sasuke gulped and walked over to Naruto. 

'Alright, here we go.' I thought and then sighed noticing Naruto being stubborn and not telling Sasuke, what Sakura told him. 

"Geez, Really?" I said out loud 

"Yo." Kakashi said behind me and I jumped. 

"You have to stop doing that!" I said and lightly punched him.

"I have no idea what your talking about." Kakashi said teasingly and began walking away.
