And so starts my first fanfiction. I hope this goes over well. This story started as many of my usual ideas do, random thoughts mulling bout in my head battling to be thought about. The one that popped into my cranium just happened to be, if i were to be a ninja in the Naruto series what who would i be? And thus the idea for this story started. Who i would want to be will be revealed pretty much towards the end of the fic. I had originally planned this out to be 7 chapters, but looking at my outline for this, it may be more...great I'm rambling...On to the fic!!
I do not own Naruto (though I wish I owned Hinata or Temari...uh...nevermind)

Chp. 1 - An Uzamaki and an Uchiha
"Dang it! I'm late...Konohamaru-sensei, please tell my mom to stop fixing my hair!"
--
"Ok, I'll be assigning teams now," a man with a scar over his nose and just starting to get grays in his hair announced to a large room full of preteens.
"First, Team 3..." three kids walked up to the front and took a piece of paper that the aging Iruka was holding, then sat back down. "Next, Team 9...," a couple more teams were called and came up until...
"AAAHHHH!!!!!" the door to the class room slammed open, "Sorry Iruka-sensei, my mom...uh, never mind."
"Yue, just sit down...oh, uh, since you haven't been to the academy very much because of your private tutor, just sit anywhere."
"Hai!"
Yue searched the room and saw an empty seat near the top of the lecture hall. He adjusted his headband
"Ok, and last but certainly not least...Team 13 will consist of Raimaru Nara, Yue Uzamaki, and Nadeshiko Uchiha."
I wonder who that is? Yue thought to himself. As he walked down the stairs to find out where to meet his new Sensei, Yue bumped into a girl just getting up to walk down the stairs. Both fell down and landed in a pile at the bottom, each face no more than an inch away from the other.
"Oww...uhh...sorr-" Yue looked up and saw a beautiful sight. The girl on top of him had beautiful emerald eyes and light pink hair with blackish blue streaks that made it look like it was in shadow all the time. And to top it all off, she was decked out in gothy black vest and skirt with shorts underneath, plus a sexy red tank.
"Uh, H-h-hi….I-I am Y-yue…." His face turned slightly red.
The female face blushed slightly in return. "Oh, I'm Nade-...GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY BREASTS YOU PERVERT!"
--
Nadeshiko was pissed. She had gotten in another fight with her mom that morning over how she dressed. Her mom always nagged her about how the smartest kunoichi in the Academy shouldn't look like a punk.
Thankfully her father stepped in. "Sakura, everybody has an angsty period when they grow up, just leave her be. You do remember what I was like way back when."
"Fine, Nade you can wear it, just wear some shorts under the skirt so no one will see anything if you go jumping through trees." And thus, Nade won again. And as always, she thanked her dad for his help. But she was still not happy, today they were being assigned into the typical three-man cells plus a sensei. Since she was the most skilled kid in the academy, and graduated quickly she didn't really make many friends, and thus didn't really know anybody in the graduating class. Which was why she was pissed. She was about to be stuck with two other kids her age, both probably guys that she didn't even know, until sometime after she would become a jounin. It was not a very assuring prospect.
Thus she brooded, hands folded in much the same manner as her father, sitting in the lecture hall as the names were being called. There was one late comer, but in her broodyness she didn't notice him. When she finally heard her name called, she remembered some of the conversations she overheard her parents having about the Sixth Hokage and the name Uzamaki. She wondered who this Uzamaki was, and whether he lived up to the image of the Hokage.
She got up and stepped out into the aisle…..and she found herself falling down.
When she stopped she looked down and looked straight into a pair of white eyes. Sure she had seen white eyes before, there was the one girl she knew during her entire time at the academy, Nanami Hyuuga. Both her dad and Nanami's dad worked on the same ANBU squad and they played together whenever their families got together.
But for some reason these new white eyes were different. Was it the slight tint of blue (or was it red?) in the eye rather than the normal hint of lavender? She didn't realize she was staring until this boy said something.
"Oww...uhh...sorr-...uh, h-h-hi...I-I am Y-yue..."
Yue? The Yue Uzamaki she heard called out? This was intriguing….
"Oh, I'm Nade-"
Then she felt a slight squeezing sensation in the protrusions on her chest.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY BREASTS YOU PERVERT!"
Now she was pissed again, and the moment was gone.
--
"I would, except your breasts seem to be pinning my hands in place while you still lay on top of me."
Nade jumped up. "Next time watch where you're going, BAKA!"
"I was. You just randomly got out of your seat as I was walking by...uh...BILLBOARD-BROW!" Yue just seemed to notice the slightly large forehead on the emerald-eyed girl. And with that Nade got even more pissed.
The two new teammates continued arguing while a quiet boy in a long black cloak came up and got the paper. He then turned to the two quarrelers and stood waiting.
"What a drag." The cloaked boy with short black hair and circles around his eyes sighed. He shifted in his cloak and brought out a giant fan, leveling it in between Yue and Nade. "If you want to know where our sensei will be here it is." The paper in his hand floated up and onto the end of the fan, between the now quiet Yue and Nade. "And by the way I'm Rai, Raiken Nara." With that Rai flipped the fan back into his hand and concealed it once again in his cloak, then promptly left the room.
Both Yue and Nade stood there stunned for a second.
"Well, I'm going to go to the meeting place. See you later...Yue-teme!"
"Whatever, Billboard-brow!" called after Nade as she left the room.
Thankfully the majority of the other students had left at this point but the few that were left stared at Yue. One boy, a bit younger compared to the rest of the class with silver hair whispered to him, "Dude, did you seriously just grope the hottest girl in school?"
Yue didn't know what to say. He had only seen about 3/4ths of the class for the first time today. And he didn't even know half the names of the ones that he did see. How was he going to tell his cousin Nanami this? She'd probably just slap him like this Nadeshiko girl did right after she got off him.
Was it just me or did Nade's slap hurt more than a normal slap should? Yue thought. He gingerly felt the hand shaped red mark on his cheek. Yeah, it hurt worse.
Since Yue had done what he needed to do at the academy, he decided to leave. Remembering what time he had to meet his new sensei, he decided to go home for a bit before he went to the meeting place. Thus, he started walking towards the large building right under the Hokage faces, six in all.

"That darn idiot of a boy! He just had to go and make my day worse didn't he!"
Sakura peeked out the door of the kitchen of the Uchiha mansion to see a fuming chibi version of her heading towards the stairs.
"Nade dear, come here please." Sakura heard loud thumping as Nade headed back down the stairs. "Now, what is this about an idiot of a boy?"
Nadeshiko grumbled before responding. "He's my new teamate, and he put me in an embarassing situation in front of many of the graduating students at the academy!" Nadeshiko absentmeindedly took a sharpened implement from one of the two identical toddlers sitting in chairs by the counter. One of the two had a green left eye with a onyx right, and the other had an onyx left with a green right. "Obito, don't play with knives."
"So, who was this 'idiot boy' that...what was the embarassing situation?"
"I don't want to talk about it...and his name was Yue...Yue Uzamaki, I think."
Sakura dropped the dish she was washing into the sink and stood silent for a couple of seconds. Then she started snickering, then full out laughing.
"Mom, this isn't funny!" YEAH! It could ruin our reputation! Cha! Nadeshiko had never been very enthused that she had inherited the Haruno MPD. Inner Nade annoyed her most of the time rather than just voicing her inner emotions.
"Actually Nade-chan, it is….Yue's dad was your father and I's teammate back in the day and he got us into many embarrassing situations himself. Let me just say to expect it from the Uzamaki's…I just hope that Yue inherited some of his mother's restraint."
"Did I just hear someone say Uzamaki and embarrassing in the same sentence in here?" A very tall dark haired man in an ANBU mask stepped into the kitchen in full ANBU regalia carrying a squirming boy by the back of the shirt in each hand. "By the way, I found Tenma and Tenshi booby trapping their rooms again."
"Honey! Your home early!" Sakura ran over and unmasked the man revealing a very happy Sasuke. The two boys still held by the hands of their father made sick looking faces and tried to turn away from the parental smooching.
"Now what was this about an Uzamaki?" said a now very quizzical looking Sasuke.
"It seems, Sasuke-kun, that Nadeshiko-chan is teamed up with the son of our former teammate."
"Ah…then I only have one piece of advice for you Nade-chan…no matter how angry or embarrassed you are of him, an Uzamaki will always be the best kind of person to have as a friend…but there's nothing wrong with trying to correct the problem."
"You got that freaking right," Sakura said vehemently before walking over to was the rest of the dishes and feed the chibi Obito and Kakashi. Sasuke walked over to Sakura and started another, more parental conversation, all the while still holding the two squirming boys. Nadeshiko perceived that she was probably not going to be able to continue her conversation. She resumed her brooding look, and walked over to the fridge, opened it, grabbed a drink and proceeded back to the front door.
Just as she was about to walk out, she heard a small voice call out. "Onee-samaaaaaa! When you get back can you play with me?" Nadeshiko turned to see a pink haired four-year-old girl with onyx eyes giving her a hurt puppy look. Just what is it with little kids and being able to do the Tragic no jutsu so well?
"Don't worry, Yuri, I will."

"OTOU-SAN!!!!!!!!" Yue stood in the streets of Konoha looking up at a window. A few seconds after the outburst, the window was forcefully thrown open.
"WHAT, Mini-Me?! I'm kinda busy at the moment, go talk to your mom!"
"But Otou-saaaan!" The man with a rather large hat got a sort of defeated look on his face. "Hehe, fine. I'll try to get done as fast as I can, go to your mom and tell her what happened at the academy and I' be there as fast as I can, okay?"
"Woohoo!!!!" Yue ran down past a few houses on the street, bounding over the fence of a moderately sized house with a door open to the public. After landing in the yard, Yue crouched low and made as little sound as he could and snuck into the house. He got all the way to the kitchen, just a few inches away from a very large jar of cookies, when a voice echoed from the living room right next to the kitchen.
"If your going to have a cookie, eat an apple first." Dang it, and I had suppressed my charka as much as I could too. Yue with a defeated look similar to his father's walked into the living room. He promptly turned redfaced and did a 180 as he walked in.
"Okaa-san, do you have to do that now?" A rustling and the cries of two babies behind him clued him in that it was okay to turn around.
"Gomen Yue, but Gekko and Nikkou need to feed when they are still this young, and I haven't gotten them on the bottle yet. Anyway, what were you doing trying to get a cookie before dinner?"
"Darn Byakugan…mumble…grumble," Yue severly dislike his mother's constant use of her bloodline limit to keep track of him.
"I didn't use my Byakugan…I heard you yelling at your father before you even came into the house, how the house was too quiet about the time you would have arrived, and since you've been trying to steal them for the past week, it was fairly obvious what you were going to do." Hinata walked over to her now pouting son and patted him on the head, absentmindedly trying to correct his wild hair, but to no avail. "Now, tell me about the academy and how your assigning went."
"It went ok…I kinda pissed off…uh…I mean….angered one of my teammates after I fell on her trying to get to the front." Yue laughed nervously, using one of his hands to rube the back of his neck in a very familiar way.
"And who was this teammate you fell upon?" said a rather tenebrous voice right behind Yue. He slowly turned around to see a whiskered face smiling as if he knew exactly what his son was going to say.
"I think her name was Nadeshiko……Uchiha." At this point Naruto burst out laughing, and fell to the ground.
"You fell onto an Uchiha? And you're still living?! HAHAHAHAAHAAHahahahaha!"
"Dear, calm down." Naruto immediately sat up completely sober.
"Yes ma'am." Naruto's head drooped slightly.
Two infantile cries were heard in the next room. "Oh, umm, I'll be right back." Hinata left the room quickly.
"Ok, son, here's a bit of advice, Uzamakis and Uchihas, I believe, were destined to argue and be at each other's throats…but, they almost always work better when they are on a team together…which is why I placed you and Nadeshiko on the same team…along with someone who can keep the peace if need be. Now if I'm not mistaken, your meeting with your new sensei is rather soon, right?"
"Oh, crap! Bye, Otou-san!! Bye Okaa-san!" Yue rang frantically towards the front door, narrowly missing the wall beside it.
"Are you sure you should have placed them on the same team?" Hinata walked back into the living room carrying two, now ecstatic, bundles of Uzamaki pride.
"Of course, and if I have Yue and Nadeshiko pegged like I think, they might actually be the best rookie team of this year."
--
"Raimaru, make sure you come back tonight. Even if you're an insomniac like your uncle, you still need to be home at night."
Rai's head drooped a bit as he walked out the door. Mothers are so troublesome. Raimaru's thoughts were riddled enough with troublesome women that he failed to notice the one standing in front of him as he walked out the door.
"Hey Chibi, make sure you pass your final genin test." Raimaru glared at his older and insanely taller sister carrying a copy of the fan he carried. The blue eyes and four black braids stared back at him.
"I guess it would be troublesome to have mom fussing over me again…but aren't you supposed to be training with Inoki and Chosuke?"
"I have the day off…"
"…Because its too troublesome?"
"Just go and meet your sensei already"
--
As it just so happened, all three preteens met at the bottom of the stairs at the same time. Yue and Nade, after an initial glare, looked in opposite directions, refusing to look at each other. Thus, Rai sighed, and proceeded up the stairs to the top of the building where their new sensei awaits.
"Is it just me, or are there more bugs around here than in forest?" asked Yue as he passed and swatted away the third little group of flying critters on his way up the steps.
"Just hurry up, baka," Nade replied, swatting away her own small group of insects.
As they group of three reached the roof of the building, they saw that the entire roof swarmed with all kinds of insects. Yue stepped boldly forward, fully prepared to make a path through the bugs, but instead the bugs parted and started to disappear. After a few seconds, all the bugs were gone, revealing several potted plants and a bench. But what was most surprising was the rather odd looking man lying down on the bench. Who would wear a thick hooded jacket and high collared shirt in the middle of summer? The three walked cautiously toward the unknown person, and peered at his face. They couldn't really see anything thanks to the collar and sunglasses.
"I would appreciate it if you would stop staring at my face," said a seemingly disembodied voice, coming in the direction of the man on the bench. "Sit down already and tell me your names."
The skeptical preteens looked at each other for a second before Nadeshiko spoke up. "Umm, are you our new sensei?"
"Of course, I'm Shino Arubame." The hooded man sat up in the bench, leaned forward, and placed his hands together as if expecting an answer.
"Uh, well I'm Nadeshiko Uchiha…I just go by Nade."
"I'm Yue Uzamaki, believe it!"
"…Raimaru Nara…call me Rai."
Shino contemplated the three before him. I am going to have a difficult time with this…I wonder how Kakashi did it with their parents? Oh well, at least Rai seems to be quiet.
"So are you three ready to become real ninja?"

(A/N) Ah, I'm evil with cliffys. And sorry about sheer amount of information in this chapter, I needed to set up the background info for the later chapters. And trust me, there will be more action in the later chapters. Also, I have no idea when my next post of a chapter will be. My three AP classes warranting, it might be within a month, but that's not a definite thing. Oh, well, if people like this story then ill post more.
