I decided to write a more future fic, as I have more freedom, and don't have to stick to the storyline


Chapter 1: Teams

"But I don't want to!" whined Naruto. "There are loads of other jounin out there!"

Tsunade sighed. Naruto may be seventeen, but he still acted like a kid sometimes.

"There are no other jounin who are willing to take a genin squad."

"Then why are you forcing me?!"

"Naruto… if you want to become the Rokudaime, you will take a genin squad."

"Nice try old hag! I'm set to become Rokudaime in a month, and you can't change it now! They've even started putting my face on the mountain… sadly next to your face."

This struck a nerve.

"Brat!" yelled Tsunade, hitting Naruto over the head.

"Nothing you say or do will make me take a genin squad!"

"Really?" asked Tsunade with an evil grin. "You know, the Yondaime took a genin squad when he was about to become Hokage…"

"That won't work on me!" shouted Naruto, yet he could feel his inner resistance crumbling away…

"Naruto… either take a genin squad or I can guarantee you, you'll never eat another bowl of Ichiraku Ramen as long as you live!"

This definitely worked.

"Okay! I'll take the team!"

"Just look at some of the student's files while I find out what squad you'll take."

Naruto grabbed six files, and began to read them.

The Academy sure had changed. For a start, ninja graduates had to be thirteen to pass. Also, to pass, they also needed to learn a jutsu outside the academy. Naruto looked at the first folder. Obito Hatake. Obito had been twelve years old when he met his father for the first time…

Flashback, last year

"That was some good work you two did. Same time here tomorrow for our next mission," said Kakashi to Naruto and Sakura.

Naruto and Sakura were just walking away, when they noticed a woman with markings on her face similar to the Inuzukas approach Kakashi. They didn't know her, but Kakashi sure did.

"R- Rin?" Kakashi asked uncertainly.

Rin nodded slowly.

"Why… why did you go?"

Rin lifted her head up. "I was pregnant with your son." On cue, a small silver haired boy wearing a mask (which didn't entirely cover his face markings) came up to the pair of them.

"Hi dad," the boy said nervously.

Kakashi did the only logical thing. He fainted... while Naruto burst out laughing.

End of flashback

Good times, thought Naruto. He looked further into Obito's folder. The kid was a considered genius, and had passed the out-of-academy jutsus test with flying colours. Of course, when your dad has copied over a thousand jutsu that is kind of expected. The jutsus he had used in the test was Summoning, Shadow Clones, Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Jutsu and Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu.

The next folder was for Konohamaru. The kid had lots of potential, but spent too much time playing pranks on people. Where did that sound familiar thought Naruto. The jutsu he had used to pass was Summoning… and well, he also tried to used Naruto's original technique (guess which one) as a jutsu. It kind of worked…

The next folder was for Udon. He was more of a strategist, but looked like he was always falling asleep… in short, another Shikamaru. He had just learnt a simple Temporary Paralysis Technique.

The next was for Hanabi Hyuuga. Naruto sure as hell didn't want her on his team, she had that crazy Hyuuga arrogance, that Hinata never had, and Naruto beat out of Neji.

The next folder was for Moegi. She had learnt a couple of genjutsus, False Surrounding and Hell Viewing Jutsu.

The sixth folder was for Inari. He had come to Konoha when he was nine to become a ninja, and although he was behind at the beginning, he was remarkably talented, and soon was hailed as another kid genius. He wielded a metal crossbow capable of close combat use. The jutsus he had learnt was the Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Jutsu and the Shadow Shuriken Jutsu- both jutsus he had converted into use with his crossbow.

Naruto put the folders down, and was about to pick up some more, when Tsunade re-entered the room.

"Okay Naruto, your genin squad is going to be…"

"WHAT?!" shouted an enraged Naruto after hearing his team.


"Okay, before I announce all the teams, I have to tell you, due to a lack of jounin instructors, two teams will join up and be taught by one jounin (see where this is going?)," said an academy instructor.

Konohamaru heard it, but just scrunched up a sheet of paper and threw it at Hanabi.

"I'll announce the team of six first, by the way, will be Team 1…"

Konohamaru was privately hoping to be on the same team as Moegi and Udon, and definitely not Hanabi or Inari.

"Okay, Team 1 will consist of Konohamaru, Obito Hatake, Moegi, Udon, Inari and Hanabi Hyuuga."

Konohamaru hit his head twice on the desk. I'm doomed, he thought.


Three hours later…

"Where the hell is our sensei?!" shouted a furious Konohamaru.

Obito lifted his head up from his Icha Icha Paradise. "I just hope our sensei isn't my dad."

"Well, I don't care who he is! No one comes this late!" Konohamaru grabbed the board eraser, and placed it over the door, so whoever would walk through would be hit by it.

"Our teacher is a jounin. There is no way a jounin could fall for such a ridiculous trick," said a dismissive Hanabi.

"Shut up! What do you know!?"

"Clearly a lot more then you."

Konohamaru fumed, and was about to make a crazy remark, when they heard footsteps, and all of them instinctively turned to face the door.

The door was pushed open… a person walked through… and was hit by the eraser.

"HA HA HA!" laughed Konohamaru. "I got you! I got-" he stopped as he realised who their sensei was. "Oh… hi boss."

Naruto shook the chalk dusting off his head. "My first impression of you guys… you're a bunch of idiots. Meet me on the roof."


On the roof…

"Why don't you introduce yourself first?" asked Moegi.

"Well, I'm Naruto Uzumaki. You guys can refer to me as Naruto-sensei, Uzumaki-sensei, or Rokudaime-sensei."

"Actually, you are not the Rokudaime yet," said Hanabi.

"Shut up," said Naruto abruptly. "Well, there are a lot of things I like and dislike… my hobbies; I have a lot of hobbies… I no longer have a dream, since it is a reality."

"Has my dad been giving you lessons on this or something?" asked Obito.

Naruto sweat dropped.

Flashback yesterday

"Hey Kakashi, I need your help on meeting a genin squad," said Naruto.

"Simple, just do exactly what I did with you," said Kakashi.

"What, turn up late and don't say anything really in introductions?"

"Exactly."

End of flashback

"Okay, mask-boy, you first."

"I'm Obito Hatake. I like learning jutsus and reading Icha Icha novels, and I dislike it when people turn up late. My hobbies are the same as my likes. My dream is to find a way to repair my grandfather's sword, and be able to wield it and bring the Hatake name to its former glory."

"Four-eyes, you next."

"I'm Udon. I like sleeping, and strategising. My dream is to become one of the greatest strategists of Konoha."

"I'm Moegi. I like training and I dislike people who make fun out of me. My dream is to become a great kunoichi."

"I'm Konohamaru. I like training and pulling pranks. I dislike arrogant kids (at this Konohamaru glared at Hanabi), and I dislike it when people call me Honourable Grandson instead of my name. My dream is to become Hokage, and surpass my greatest rival."

"I'm Inari. I like training, and I dislike people who try to hurt innocent people. My dream is to become a great ninja."

"I am Hanabi Hyuuga. I dislike several things, and I don't like things. My dream is secret."

"Is it to kill your evil brother who slaughtered your clan?" joked Naruto, clearly referring to Sasuke.

Hanabi's eyes narrowed. "No."

"Okay, so that's for today. Now tomorrow, you will all do some survival training…"

"Survival training? What's the catch?"

"If I tell you, you won't like it…"

"Tell us!" said Konohamaru. "We're not scared!"

"Well, then, the thing is, if you fail the test I give you… you go back to the Academy."

"WHAT?!"

"But we're already genin!" said Moegi.

"No, that test was just to see who had the potential to become genin. This is the real test. You will all have to bring your ninja weapons as well… and I suggest you don't eat breakfast, because if you do, you'll puke," said Naruto, unleashing a small wave of killer intent.

Naruto body flickered away, and met his old sensei.

"So… how was it?" asked Kakashi.

"Kakashi, have you told your son about the bell test?"

"No… wait, you're not copying me completely, are you?"

"Yes, so don't tell him."


The next day… Three hours after the time Naruto had said…

"Hi guys," said Naruto.

"YOU'RE LATE!"

"Well, a black cat crossed my path, so I had to take the long way."

Obito looked suspicious. "Yeah, my dad has definitely been giving you lessons."

"Okay, so here's the test. These four bells. If you can not acquire a bell by lunch, you will be sent back to the academy, and you will tied to one of the posts, and watch me and everyone who passed eat lunch in front of you."

The genin sank down. That's why he told us not to eat breakfast, they thought.

"Okay… so go!"

Obito pondered. If he was going to attack Naruto, he couldn't just jump out of the bushes at him, or just throw a barrage of shuriken. A plan suddenly formed in his head.

Naruto stood, waiting for someone. On cue, nine dogs burst out of the ground at him, and Naruto just escaped by flipping backwards. Obito also burst out of the ground, but he was avoided as well.

"Earth Jutsus… rather clever, but not good enough."

The dogs poofed away, and Obito charged.

"Perfect," said Naruto. "Now I can finally revenge myself on your father…"

Naruto vanished and reappeared behind Obito, his hands in a particular seal.

The others panicked and thought Naruto was going to kill Obito.

"One Thousand Years of Pain!" shouted Naruto.

Obito flew into the lake.

"I can't wait to tell Kakashi that," said Naruto. "Time to get going."

The next person to attack was Konohamaru… who was left hanging from a tree.

Inari ended up stuck in the ground.

Udun slept through the whole thing.

Moegi's genjutsu was countered and she fell unconscious.

Hanabi ended up stuck in a puddle of mud.

"Well, I have good news, and bad news," said Naruto.

All six were tied to a log, two to each log.

"The good news is that none of you will go back to the academy."

"What?" asked Udun. "We passed?"

"Alright, we passed!" shouted Konohamaru.

"What's the bad news?" asked Inari.

"The bad news is that all six of you will be permanently removed from the ninja program."

"WTF?"

"You six didn't understand this test at all."

"Didn't understand?" asked Moegi.

"Yeah, what's so special then?" asked Konohamaru.

"It's so basic… TEAMWORK!"

"We were supposed to work together?" asked Inari.

"Yup, and you fail," said Naruto.

"Wait, give us another chance!"

"Well…"

Naruto then untied Udon, Hanabi, Obito, Inari and Moegi.

"What about me?!" shouted Konohamaru.

"You fell for an obvious trap, so, if the others feed you, you automatically fail."

And so, it commenced a complete copy of what happened with Team 7, and the six passed. Naruto had just given his report in when he realised.

"Crap, I have to look after six kids."

"So how was it?" It was Kakashi, Rin and Sakura.

"I passed them. And I revenged myself on you Kakashi."

"Revenge?"

"Remember what you did to me, which resulted in me not able to sit down for a whole day?"

"You hit Obito with Thousand Years of Pain?" asked a shocked Kakashi. "You're worse then I am."

"You hit my son with that technique?" asked a furious Rin. "And Kakashi, you hit Naruto with that technique?"

"Oh crap," said the two before Rin punched and kicked them numerous times, sending them into blissful unconsciousness.
