Thinking/Dreaming
Kyuubi
"Chidori!" "Rasengan!" The two balls of light hit square on. Naruto fell back as did Sasuke.
"N-Naruto-kun" Naruto woke up to the sound of someone calling his name and knocking on the door. He sighed; he had been having this dream ever since his battle with Sasuke in the valley of end.
"Coming," Naruto said sleepily as he dressed in his signature orange jumpsuit. He then opened the door surprised to find the heir of the Hyuuga clan outside his door.
"Hey Hinata-chan," Naruto exclaimed
"Um N-Naruto-kun Hokage-sama wants us to meet in her office." Hinata muttered shyly.
Naruto and Hinata walked into Tsunade's office to see all of the other genin aside from Ino, Sakura, and Shino.
"All right now that we're all here lets get this over with." said Tsunade. "Okay, as you all have noticed a lot has changed since the chuunin exams. So we are going to change our method of training. Instead of having training teams of three, you will have groups of two. As for missions, one group will be added with another to make a group of four and maybe Sakura or Ino will come with you. Now obviously we are missing three genins, as you know Sasuke has left and Sakura and Ino are now going to train under me to become medical nins. Also Shino is having problems with his clan, so, onto the groups, group one will be Kiba and Lee. Group two is Neji and Tenten. Group three Naruto and Hinata, and group four Chouji and Shikamaru. Your new senseis will meet you at the training grounds and since you guys are getting more experienced I'll have my eye out to appoint some of you to chuunin soon."
"Hokage-sama what clan difficulties does Shino have?" Tenten asked
"Their female bugs left all of their bodies so they are going to try and retrieve them." The Hokage simply replied.
"All right Kiba, let's go train!" shouted Lee as he pumped his fist.
"Okay! Let's go Akamaru." Kiba exclaimed enthusiastically.
Everyone else went off to train with their new partners and senseis. Naruto and Hinata were about to leave but Tsunade stopped them
"Wait, Naruto, Hinata, I have realized that you two share similar dreams and have the same 'Way of the ninja' so I have appointed you a special teacher in order to help you achieve your dreams."
"Hey Naruto." Came a voice almost right on queue.
"Huh," Naruto turned around "Ahhh ERO-SENIN!" Naruto shouted.
"I said don't call me that." Was the Sannin's only reply.
"Hinata meet you new sensei one of the sannin Jiraiya."
I can't believe I'm in Naruto-kun's group… Hinata thought blushing slightly and poking her index fingers together.
"Hinata," Tsunade said a little louder.
"Sorry, Hokage-sama, what did you say?" Hinata asked nervously, she knew what the Hokage was capable of and her monstrous strength the last thing she wanted was to be on her bad side.
"I said meet your new teacher Jiraiya."
"Jiraya… One of the legendary sannin?!" Hinata gasped.
"Ah, it's good to be acknowledged from time to time, yup the strongest sannin of all that's me." Jiraiya said proudly.
"Granny why do I have to train with him all he does is steal my money for women!" Naruto shouted angrily.
"Naruto are you forgetting who taught you rasengan and the summoning jutsu?" The fifth hokage simply asked.
"But HE'S A PERVERT!" Naruto shouted.
"So what he has the widest knowledge of jutsus so he will be your teacher whether you like it or not!" Tsunade was getting more angry from the lack of respect.
Hinata just stood nervously she was never one to argue or break up arguments. Though, she didn't get why Naruto was complaining about having Jiraiya as their sensei he had learned two of his best jutsus from him. But what if he really is a pervert and tries to molest me or something. No, if he would do that Hokage-sama wouldn't assign him to us. Hinata argued in her head and after about five minutes she looked up and the argument stopped so she followed an angry Naruto and her new sensei out to the training grounds.
"Lee!!"
"Gai Sensei!!"
"Lee!!"
"Gai Sensei!"
Gai and Lee were embraced and crying for joy when Lee found out that his new sensei was his old one, Gai, he was overwhelmed with exicitment.
Kiba just stood there awkwardly, what losers I can't believe I was excited to train with these guys.
Finnaly Lee and Gai stopped their hugging and turned to Kiba
"Kiba right?" Gai asked
"Hai"
"My name is Gai I will be you new sensei. So, let's train!" Gai said excitedly.
"Shikamaru, Chouji, I am your new sensei." said Kurenai blankly
"What about Aruma-sensei?" asked Chouji
"Hokage-sama thinks that you two should be taught genjutsu, she thinks you would be good genjutsu users. Also Aruma has become an ANBU member so he has no time to be your sensei." Kurenai explained.
Hmph It'll be troublesome for Aruma to smoke under that mask. Shikamaru thought to himself.
"Well lets go train I think we should start with chakra control." Stated Kurenai as they walked towards a river.
"Whats taking this guy so long?" Neji asked Tenten
"I dunno." Tenten simply replied.
The two waited another hour and a half all of the groups were already off training with ther new sensei's.
"Okay this is ridiculous I'm going to Hokage-sama." Tenten was about to leave when someone interrupted her
"There will be no need Tenten."
"Kakashi-sama?" Tenten asked as she turned around her question was verified.
"Yup I will be your new sensei from here on out." Said Kakashi.
"Any complaints?"
"..."
"Good let's start training then."
