Hello everyone! For anyone who is confused, I sort of condensed the story by putting a lot of the chapters together. There isn't anything really different besides one sentence I added to make it flow a bit better. I did this so it's easier to read than before.

Years ago, the Kyuubi no Kitsune attacked the village of Konoha. It's mighty tails could crumble mountains and cause tsunamis. To fight the kyuubi all the shinobi from the village came to fight it. One brave shinobi was able to seal the fox away at the cost of his own life. This shinobi was the Sandaime Hokage.

Kakashi stared up at the door before him, or more specifically, the chalkboard eraser trapped in it. He could hear the quiet whispering of the graduates on the otherside. Did they really believe that a Jounin would fall for such a trick? He sighed and shook his head. This was going to be a long day. He reached up to grab it before opening the door.

"Dammit!" the blonde genin moaned in disappointment.

"I'm sorry! I tried to stop him!" the girl said.

"I'm sure Kakashi has seen enough of your pranks to see though them a mile away," the raven-haired boy scoffed.

"What a surprise to see you, Naruto-kun," Kakashi said.

"Riiight," Sasuke said.

Naruto shook his head. He had known the boy since he was in diapers and somehow he had failed to change at all in thirteen years. He had hoped that when he befriended the Uchiha not long after joining the academy the boy would be a calming influence. Alas, his hopes were shattered when Naruto seemed to corrupt Sasuke. The girl- Sakura was her name- Kakashi didn't know much about. She scored high on all the intellectual tests, but barely passed the physical. How this poor girl ended up on a team with these two, he had no clue.

"What next? We gonna get our first mission?" Naruto asked excitedly.

"No, we are going on a pleasant walk through the flower fields," Sasuke said.

"Oh, god no! Onibaa-san would have our heads if she catches us there again, dattebayo!" Naruto groaned.

"Will you two grow up? Today is an important day!" Sakura scolded.

Sasuke stuck his tongue out at the girl, who rolled her eyes,

What did he get himself into?

"Well, let's begin with introducing ourselves," Kakashi said.

"Eh? But we already know each other, 'ttebayo!" Naruto complained.

"That's not entirely true. I have just met Sakura," Kakashi pointed out.

"No one cares about Sakura," Sasuke and Naruto said.

"Shut up, you morons!" Sakura snapped.

"You are going to do it because I said so," Kakashi said firmly. "Start with your names, likes, dislikes and your dreams, maybe your hobbies.."

"Then you start 'ttebayo!" Naruto said.

"Fine. My name is Hatake Kakashi. I have no desire to tell you my likes and dislikes.. My dreams for the future… my hobbies… I have a lot of hobbies…"

"Translated: My likes and dislikes are too embarrassing and perverted to share, my hobbies are reading erotic books written by the Sage of Perverts himself and my dream is to one day stop being a closet pervert!" Naruto said. Sakura gaped at him while Sasuke chuckled.

"Thank you for volunteering, Naruto," Kakashi said. Naruto rolled his eyes and smiled proudly.

"My name is Namikaze Naruto. I like Ramen. I don't like having to wait for my ramen. My hobbies are pranking people. My dream," Naruto sat up straighter, "is to become Hokage and to surpass my predecessors!"

"Do you even know what that word means-ow!" Sakura looked around and tried to find the source of the bump on the back of her head, but all she saw was Uchiha Sasuke trying to act as innocent as possible.

"Next, please," Kakashi sighed.

"Haruno Sakura," Sakura said as she rubbed the back of her head. "I like sweets" Sasuke gagged "my hobbies are studying mostly. I don't like annoying boys" Naruto stuck his tongue out at her and Sasuke rolled his eyes "my dream is to become Konoha's strongest kunoichi."

Sakura was surprised when neither boy had something to say to that.

"Your turn."

"U-chi-ha Sa-su-ke," Sasuke punctuated every syllable in a way that irritated Sakura. "My likes… ahhh… I guess… my friends maybe? Yeah, I think I might like them. Just a bit."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love you too," Naruto said.

"My dislikes, that's easy. I don't like sweets. Or nerds. I definitely don't like pink. My hobbies include staring at random strangers until they freak out or have a nervous breakdown."

"Or they beat the crap outta you," Naruto snickered as he remembered one such event.

"My dreams… I don't really have one."

"Lame," Naruto called out.

"Well, that's enough of that," Kakashi said. "We will start our shinobi duties tomorrow."

"What kind of duties?" Naruto asked excitedly.

"We are going to do something with just the four of us."

"Whatisitwhatisitwhatisit!"

"Calm down, you hyper chihuahua!" Sasuke chuckled.

"Survival training."

"...eh?"

"Why training? Didn't we get enough training at the academy?" Sakura asked,

"This is not normal training. I will be your opponent," Kakashi said. Kakashi couldn't help but laugh at the look on their faces.

"What's so funny?" Sakura demanded.

"You are going to freak out…" Kakashi said between laughs. "Of the 27 graduates, only 9 will be chosen to become shinobi. The rest will be sent back to the academy."

The three stared at him in shock.

"Hahaha told you you'd freak out!"

"What? Why? We worked so hard!"
"Why have a final exam then?" Sakura asked.

"That was to choose those who had a chance at becoming genin. Bring all your shinobi tools. And don't eat breakfast, or you'll throw up. Take these," Kakashi handed all three of them a sheet of paper before disappearing. Naruto groaned and laid back onto the stairs.

Sakura left, grumbling to herself.

"Well," Sasuke moved to rest his head on Naruto's stomach. He began reading the paper Kakashi had left. "That was unexpected."

"Yeah. Right."

"I might have heard something about it…" Sasuke confessed.

"And you didn't tell me about it? Some best friend you are," Naruto growled.

"And miss out on your reaction? You should have seen the look on your face!" Sasuke laughed. "Consider it revenge for the other day."

"Teme."

"Dobe. We should probably head home."

"Ichiraku?" Naruto offered.

"Meh. You're paying."

"Yeeaahh no. Teuchi said he's treating us tonight for graduating."

"Beat you there."

"Try it, dattebayo!"
