"The situation was set up to reveal...which of you could put aside your individual interest...And proposed to the others that you should work together for the good of the team. Instead, you, Sakura, ignored Naruto, who was right in front of you. Instead, you focus your attention on Sauske though you had no idea where he was. Naruto tried to fight against me single-handedly. Shiduki didn't even bother to after Sakura to try again to ask her to work with him after she walked off, and didn't try to ask Sasuke. He instead decided to continue on his own. And Sasuke already agreed that the others were getting in his way...And that he was better off fighting solo. You are a team! Learn to act as one! Yes, a ninja must have individual skills, but what is even more critical is teamwork! Working as an individual is bad for the team and exposes your comrades to unnecessary danger," Kakashi explained."Here is an example," He said as he reached into his weapon pouch.

Kakashi had a kunai in his hand in an instant holding it against Sasuke's neck.

"Sakura! Kill Naruto or Sasuke does, and if Sakura doesn't kill Naruto, Shiduki kill Sakura," Naruto said.

"What!!!?" Naruto yelled in shock.

Shiduki cracked his knuckles and glared at Sakura, slightly tempted but shook those thoughts out of his head.

Kakashi got off of Sasuke and looked at Shiduki.

'He was thinking of killing Sakura.' Kakashi thought.

"A day will come. When one of you may be taken hostage, and you're forced to make such a choice. When you are on a mission, your lives will always be on the line," Kakashi stated as he walked over to a stone with names on them.

Sasuke sat up, wiping his mouth.

"Look at this stone. All the names carved in the stone our heroes of our village," Kakashi stated as he stared at specific names.

Shiduki yawned and stared at Kakashi boredly.

"That's it! I just made up my mind! That's where I want my name to go! I'm not going to throw my life away! I want to be like them, a hero!" Naruto said loudly.

"Hmph..."

"But the ones listed there just any kind of hero," Kakashi stated.

"Really? What kind of heroes are they?" Naruto asked.

Kakashi stayed quiet.

'They're KIA," Shiduki muttered as he crossed his arms.

"Come on! Come!" Naruto said.

"The dead kind. They did in the line of duty," Kakashi replied.

The answer shocked Naruto and made him feel bad for asking.

"This is a memorial. It includes the names of some of my best friends."

"Hm," Shiduki hummed.

"Pay attention...! I'm giving you all one more chance. One that will be far more difficult than our last little game with the bells. If you're prepared to continue, you may eat one of the bento boxes. But no sharing with Naruto; he goes hungry."

"Why?"

Kakashi turned towards the genin he was training.

"He brought it on himself when he tried to sneak lunch for himself. If either of you feeds him, you fail the test right there. My word is the law. Do you understand? " Kakashi questioned with a glare before vanishing into thin air.

Shiduki sighed and picked up a bento.

"Hey, this'll be a breeze. I can go without lunch...No problem," Naruto said as his stomach grumbled loudly.
