Authors Note: This is my first Fanfic ever, in fact it is the first story I have written out of choice and not for school, so apologies for it being rough round the edges and stuff. The plot for this fic came to me while I was laying around like the lazy bastard I am, listening to the Naruto OST's (random information). I also warn die-hard Naruto fans my get irritated by the story when I get into it as what I plan is…different, I'm also hoping for a pairing as well though I want to concentrate on the main story first, said story which I only have worked a few things out for, I literally came up with the idea 10 minutes ago, though I have ideas from other fics I planned, but never bothered to start that I might put in if they fit is trying to remember what they are. Well I shall stop with my boring explanation on things, the chances are no-one cares about, so to the introduction, oh and one last thing, the story isn't set at any particular time period in Naruto, but Sasuke's gone the time skip has happened and for this stories sake Sai and the other dude don't exist and as I just decided, a new Ninja is going to be assigned to Team 7, whether they are OC or not I haven't decided, man am I disorganised…

Naruto was yet again at his favourite Ramen store, spending most of his hard earned money on the food he loved so much. They had just brought out a new type of Ramen there, he didn't know what it was, but he was loving it. The way the noodles slipped down his throat leaving their delicious taste in his mouth…

Oh! They where the best noodles he had ever had!

So preoccupied by the Ramen, Naruto failed to notice his Sensei approaching him.

"Yo, Naruto! I knew I would find you here, predictable as always," Kakashi said in his usual laid back voice. Naruto slowly turned round, noodles dripping off his face,

"What! Kakashi-sensei, you told us we didn't have anything to do since our last mission, you told us we had today off!"

"Yes, well I lied" He said, winking. "You've to come with Sakura and me to the Hokage. I forgot to mention that we're getting a new person assigned to Team 7"

"I'm not coming! We don't need a new person, and Sasuke's the 4th man in our team!" Naruto shouted, spraying half of the food in his mouth over Kakashi's mask/face.

"Yeah, I know what you're saying, but be practical, we can't go on missions with just 3 people, no matter how strong Sakura and I are"

"Yeah I see wha!- HEY! I'm stronger than Sakura! I'm almost as strong as you! And-hey, wait! Where do you think you're going!" Kakashi started walking off with a smile under his mask, getting Naruto to come with him had been easier than he thought. It seems his intelligence hasn't improved that much since he first met him…

Tsunade and Sakura where waiting in the Hokage's office for Naruto and Kakashi. Though, knowing Naruto there would be a bit of trouble getting him here, considering the reason they where all going to be gathered.

"Tsunade-sama, please, can you tell me who the 4th person is going to be?" Sakura asked, putting on her sweetest voice and trying to make an innocent pose.

"Don't 'Tsunade-sama' me! And no I am not going to tell you, it's going to be a surprise. It's not even going to be that big a deal anyway…" Tsunade answered with a slightly sadistic smile creeping across her face. Oh how she loved to toy with her student…

Before Sakura could respond to anything the door swung open, with Naruto standing there, looking like a small child who had just had his favourite toy stolen. Kakashi was, well, looking like Kakashi, his mask hiding 99 of his facial expressions as usual. "Hokage-sama, I got him here, so shall we begin?"

Naruto quickly snapped out of his sulking and turned to point at Kakashi

"No, wait! We aren't having a new team member; we just need to wait till we get Sasuke back, which won't be long!"

Kakashi started to rub the back of his head,

"Well if you are so against a new team member, why did you come?" Naruto stared blankly. Why HAD he come? He pondered. Oh, wait, It was beca-…

"I came be-," Naruto was cut off by a knock at the door.

Tsunade got up slowly to answer it. Sakura was still standing aside, hiding her giggles from watching the Naruto and Kakashi "fight".

Tsunade stood talking at the door, the others straining to hear what she was saying.

Finally she nodded and came back in, a smallish figure following behind her.

"Well. It seems the person in question has arrived, and, before you say anything Naruto, she is joining Team 7 whether you like it not. Sasuke has left and you have to get over it," Sakura nodded, proud of her sensei's way of getting straight to the point, even if it was a little harsh.

"Yes Tsunade baa-chan…" Naruto looked down, too frustrated to admit that the Hokage was actually right and that he was acting very childish.

The small figure who had entered with the Hokage was simply standing there. Was she shaking? Sakura tried to work out who it was but her face was hidden by the light, and she didn't recognise the clothes from any of the Ninja's she knew...

"Well," Tsunade began, "You should know your team mate from the chuunin exam…

She was on another team though, partly due to her old sensei's request and because we think she may do better under Kakashi and with your presence." Naruto's head sprang up at the last bit.

Someone who'll do better with us? I wonder who that means… he thought. It could be Ino, but then again… Aren't Sakura and her on bad terms? There was the possibility of Gaara's sister, Temari… No, that would be pointless as Kankouro and Gaara were her sibling, so you would have thought she would do better with them...

Tenten, that's it! She didn't seem to particularly suit Team Gai and she looked up to Tsunade, whom Sakura was trained by, perfect! Naruto, you're a genius, he thought smugly. It had to be Tenten. I wonder what she'll be like to fight with. He knew she mainly used ninja weapons but not much else… Was she fast? Was she agile? Was she better suited for backing up or running in and dealing with opponents? What kind of jutsu did she know?

Naruto snapped out of his chain of thought to see Hinata being welcomed into the team by Kakashi and Sakura.

"What's up with you Naruto?" Tsunade asked, Hinata blushing madly at the mere mention of his name. "You've just been standing, staring out the window for the last 30 minutes, what where you doing?"

"Uh…"

While Naruto attempted to remember what it actually was he'd been doing, Hinata slowly walked over to him, head down and her two fingers pushing against each other as usual. "Na-Naruto he-he-"

"I was thinking!" Hinata was abruptly cut off by Naruto, who was ecstatic about remembering what he was doing.

"Oh hi Hinata, so its you in out team? I guess it could be worse; I thought it was going to be Tenten! But how come you aren't in Kiba's team anymore?"

"We-well I do-don't know, I wa-was only told this mo-morning," Hinata said in a painfully slow manner, trying to look as far away from Naruto as she could.

"Well, as you probably know, Hinata is a very shy girl, so Kurenai thought it would be nice for her to spend time in a team with other people so she can improve her social skills," Tsuande explained.

"Bu-But that doesn't explain why she was picked to go in out team!" said Sakura indignantly. "Not that I mind of course Hinata chan," Sakura said, giving a reassuring smile to Hinata, which she cautiously returned.

"Well Hinata and Naruto kind of know each other from the chuunin exam. I heard he was quite the cheerleader" Naruto went bright red at this remark, and was about to shout something in defence before Tsunade continued. "And I know from first hand experience that you have become a very strong woman Sakura. Combine that with Kakashi-dono's skills and you can see why she's on your team.

Kakashi came from out of the corner, where he had retreated to read his latest "mature" book.

"Yup, and I agreed. Plus I think Naruto could do with a real girl around."

Tsunade quickly restrained Sakura at this comment and Naruto scratched his head, confused. Wasn't Sakura a girl?

"Anyway, Team 7. As we now are back to our original numbers, don't you think we should have a spot of training to introduce Hinata-chan?

I am quite unsatisfied with this chapter, but am just to lazy to do anything about it, maybe someday I will edit it to my liking, but till then I guess it'll make do…Yes I know it isn't exactly gripping stuff and quite short, too short but it's an opening and I really don't like them, they don't like me and due to that, this chapter isn't so good. I would say "Read and review" but then it makes me sound desperate, so review and read please as just one review will help poor me's around the world write the next chapter, yes just one review a read can help a poor author like me produce one chapter, a whole chapter so please do review.(I myself don't know what I am on about either, just so you know)
