Chapter 1: Assignment

Itauke Hyuga's day started off bad when he was woken up by his cousin, Neji Hyuga. First off, Itauke was sleeping soundly when Neji kicked him awake, not wanting to be late for the day their teacher assigned squads. Neji and Itauke were the closest friends in the Hyuga compound. They almost always got along, besides when they were being idiots. Anyway, Neji refused to or be late, or head to school without Itauke.

"Come on, WAKE UP!" Neji yelled, in union of his kick, for the seventh time.

Itauke stirred. Neji kicked him one more time and Itauke sat up, rubbed his eyes, and stared at the other Hyuga with his light lavender eyes. "What time is it?" Itauke asked, clearly annoyed.

Neji looked at the clock on his friend's wall, "It's almost eight, and I will not be late for your laziness!" (A/N: I don't know when the academy starts, so I'm guessing around 8:00AM)

Itauke got up and got dressed: A plain grey baggy t-shirt with bindings around his arms and hands, up to his elbows. He had shorter hair than the rest of his clan; just down his neck. He grew out the hair in the front of his head to cover the Caged-Bird Seal, and wore his Leaf Village Headband around his neck. He had a pair of black shorts, and bindings from his feet to his shins.


Itauke grumbled about Neji always being strict about everything, and Neji ignored him. The two Hyuga's were out of the house around 7:53am, and made it to the class room seconds before the bell rang. Everyone was still talking rather loudly, wondering who will be in whose group. All Neji and Itauke cared for is that the other two shinobi in their groups weren't annoying. When the teacher in charge of their class walked in the room, everyone went silent and stared at the teacher. "Well I guess you all want me to get to the squads, hai?" The teacher asked.

"HAI!" All the students shouted.

The teacher started calling out squads. Neji was just looking around the classroom, waiting for the teacher to call his name. Itauke on the other hand, was brutally annoyed by the kid next to him. Oh my god, Lee. Shut up! He thought. All he talked about was 'The Power of Youth', and if Itauke heard Youth one more time, he was going to clock the kid in the face.

The teacher cleared his throat, "SQUAD 6! Aya Suzuki, Shinji Aburame, and Itauke Hyuga."

Itauke just groaned. He hated Aya, because she was always talking. She was like Rock Lee, but not to the same extreme. Shinji was just plain weird. He hardly ever spoke, which was good. But no one could see his face, so people didn't recognize him, and he was sensitive if people don't remember him. Itauke would be surprised if he remembered him. The two of his new Squad-Mates looked at him curiously. He understood why. He almost never spoke to anyone but Neji and he didn't show off his Clan jutsu much. They only knew his aim was great and was good with simple jutsu.

"SQUAD 9," the teacher called, interrupting Itauke's thoughts. "Rock Lee, TenTen, and Neji Hyuga."

Neji's shoulders slumped. He really didn't want to be in the same group as Lee, speaking he can't shut up about Youth. His Hyuga friend sympathized of course, because Lee can't take a hint to be quiet, and Tenten talked a lot about random things. Huh, Itauke thought, our squads are so much alike, it's weird. Their teacher finished up and told them to go outside and talk with their new squads, and eat their lunch.

Neji and Itauke parted ways and walked outside with their new teammates. When Itauke first saw his team, he thought they were alright. Then Aya started talking about her weekend with her Aunt and Uncle. No one was even paying her the slightest attention, but she just went on, and on, and on, and on! Shinji was looking around outside when eating his lunch: a pickle sandwich. He was nodding at what Aya was saying while he looked at the other squads.


After Squad 6's lunch, they went back inside with the rest of the students and waited for their Jounin Sensei's. Neji's squad got some hyperactive heath nut named Might Guy. He looked almost exactly like Lee: same bushy eyebrows, same bad hair-style, same green tights and leg warmers. It was almost scary.

Squad 6's sensei came second to last. He looked at his new students, and smiled.

"Hello you three. Time for your nightmare to begin."


(A/N) WELL? WHAT DO YOU THINK? Based on your reviews, will I post the 2nd chapter. I finished it a long time ago. A day after I made this chapter really. You know, I don't really understand why it takes the authors months sometimes to type chapters! I finished these really quick! Anyway, hope you liked it, and if I get 5 good reviews i will post the chapter sooner than next Thursday!
