Bell Test OMG
Kakashi told Yasui and the team that there is going to be going on a survival mission the next day with all four of them. He also told the trio that they should skip their breakfast the next day because they'll throw up otherwise.
He also warned that this survival mission isn't going to be like the ones that they experienced in the academy, trying to scare them. If they did not pass this, he said that they would be sent back to the academy.
Naturally, Yasui knew that this is the famous bell test, and Kakashi is just tricking them by stating that it is a survival mission.
When he got home, Katsumi told Yasui about Kakashi and Hiruzen's visit in the morning. She also told him about the information that she relayed to the two.
Yasui knew that he couldn't keep his movements in the village a secret, so he wasn't really surprised when the tea spilled. It's just that Hiruzen will definitely start to keep an eye on his movements.
But that too is okay. He wasn't doing anything illegal anyways, and he was just doing it all for money. It's good that the old crook knows about his money problems too. Once the old crook confirms everything, maybe he will feel ashamed for only giving him 10,000 Ryo a month.
Indifferently, Yasui cleaned himself up and went out to buy some supplies…. For the 'survival mission'.

5 AM at the selected training field outside of the village.
"Ueahhhh" Naruto walked like a zombie and reached the meeting point. He's still extremely tired from not having enough sleep.
Sasuke also walked to the meeting point with his cold face still on.
Yasui was also there with a bag for the 'survival mission', Naruto and Sasuke included.
But when they arrived, Naruto and Sasuke saw… Yasui sleeping on the ground with a thick blanket covering himself. It's as if Yasui had already been sleeping here since yesterday.
"Hey, Hey, Yasui. Please let me sleep under the blanket too! It's so cold in the morning." Naruto knelt down and pleaded after seeing Yasui sleeping Cozily.
"Sure…" Yasui waved his hand and went back to sleep. Anyways, the blanket is large enough, even if Sasuke also wanted to cover himself.
"Yay!" Naruto hurriedly covered himself under the blanket with Yasui and both of them drifted to dreamland.
Sasuke's eye twitched at the two fools. What are they going to do once Kakashi arrives?
…
…
Sasuke wanted to curse. He had been standing and staring at the two fools snoring away for four whole hours! IT'S ALREADY 9:00 AND KAKASHI ISN'T HERE YET!
He was pissed off at the fact that his two teammates are sleeping so soundly, and he is suffering all by himself, waiting for Kakashi.
"Hello, everyone. What is going on here?" Kakashi arrived, and he didn't expect them to bring a blanket. He wanted them to lose some stamina before the mission began, but it seems that his little trick didn't work for two of them.
Sasuke–clearly ticked–complained about Kakashi and his two teammates: "You're so late, Kakashi sensei! These two knuckleheads had been sleeping here since they arrived!"
"Well, a black cat crossed my path, you see. So I took the long way…" Kakashi looked at Yasui and Naruto, commemorating them for being smart.
"Oh, good morning, Kakashi sensei!" Naruto woke up and rubbed his eyes, having had a great nap!
"Yeah… good morning. YAWN…" Yasui also woke up and yawned loudly, stretching while he was at it.
"Anyways, this clock is set for 12 PM! Today's actual mission isn't for survival. In actuality, today's mission is to take these bells away from me by noon." Kakashi took out two bells and explained.
"Those who can't do it won't get lunch. They'll also be tied to those logs over there… and I'll eat my lunch before your very eyes."
Both Naruto and Sasuke felt their tummies growl after they heard Kakashi explaining the actual mission. They finally realized the point of Kakashi telling them to skip their breakfast.
Yasui also felt a little hungry, but it wasn't any biggie.
"But hold on! Why are there only two bells?" Naruto pointed at the bells on Kakashi's hand.
"Hmhm. There are only two bells, so at the very least, one will have to go to the logs. That person will be disqualified for failing the mission… and they will be sent back to the academy. It could be one, or it can be all three of you. For this mission, you can even use your Shuriken. You won't be able to take the bells unless you come with the intent to kill me." Kakashi explained with a serious look on his face.
"But that's dangerous, Kakashi sensei! You couldn't even evade a chalkboard eraser!" Naruto sweated and expressed his concern.
"In this world, those who aren't skilled enough tend to complain more. Well, I just usually ignore the loser… Begin when I give the "ready -go" signal" Kakashi ignored Naruto.
LOSER! The world echoed in Naruto's head. Kakashi just called him a loser, and he couldn't stand it. He had heard the word countless times before from the villagers and kids his age!
Naruto immediately took a kunai out and charged at Kakashi with all of his might!
But he was countered easily, and the Kunai pointed back at Naruto's back after Kakashi restrained him.
"Don't be so hasty. I didn't say start yet."
Sasuke and Naruto were amazed by Kakashi's skill. They couldn't see him at all. They believed that this is the real Kakashi. The Kakashi that was hit by a chalkboard eraser might've just been a play to trick them.
Unlike those two, Yasui knew what technique Kakashi used. It's the Body Flicker technique: A high-speed movement technique that can allow the user to move in short to long distances at almost an untraceable speed.
In a sense, this is a physical augment technique. This is also the technique that allowed his older brother Shisui to be called The Teleporter. As the successor of Shisui, he had been practicing this technique, and he had gained some enlightenment in it. However, he didn't plan on using it in this bell test.
"But it's alright. At least you came with the intent to kill me. So how do I say this? I feel like I'm finally starting… to like you guys. We're going to start." Kakashi made a chopping hand.
"Ready… start!"
