"Wake up sleepy head!" Naruto called out while standing near his sister's bed. Ai opened one eye to glance up at her brother before snuggling her head back into her pillow.

"Five more minutes." Ai mumbled with her face in her pillow.

"We're getting sorted into teams today…" Naruto trailed off, waiting for Ai to react.

Ai sat up on her bed in one swift motion, her messy hair flying into her face. She pushed it away and stared at her brother. "I forgot!"

"Well get up and get ready then," Naruto stated.

Ai climbed out of bed and pushed Naruto towards the hallway, "If I'm going to get ready, you're going to have to get out!" Closing the door once Naruto was out, Ai turned to her small dresser to get ready and hopefully not be too late to class.

Ai snuck through the back door of the classroom and found a seat just as Iruka began to announce the teams. The boy next to her glanced over at Ai. "So, who do you think is going to be in the special team?" He whispered.

"Special team? What's that?" Ai whispered back, keeping her eyes focused towards the front of the classroom. Iruka scolded her quite often for talking in class and she wasn't about to get scolded on this important day.

"There's an uneven amount of students that passed so they decided to make one team of four."

Ai thought this over while Iruka called out more teams. She wondered how a team of four would function and if it would still be one girl per team. If she had to be paired with another girl she hoped it would be Sakura since they were friends.

While thinking about being on a team with Sakura, Ai heard Iruka call out Sakura's name. "Team seven will consist of Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Ai Uzumaki. As you can tell, this will be the team of four. We decided that since Naruto and Ai are twins we would put them on the special team together," Iruka explained to the disappointed sighs of students who wanted to be on a special team.

"I wanted to be on a team with Sasuke!" Ai heard Ino complain from her seat. Sakura looked back and stuck her tongue out at her.

While Sakura was turned around she noticed Ai in the corner, "AI! Isn't this great? We'll get to be on the same team!" 'And I get to be on the same team as Sasuke as well,' Sakura thought to herself happily.

Ai smiled down at Sakura before turning her attention back to Iruka who proceeded to read out more names. Once he was finished, he informed the class that their sensei's would arrive soon and to just talk amongst each other until then.

Naruto was brooding in his seat when Ai joined him. She glanced over at Sasuke who was sitting in the same position as always with no facial expression except for a slight hint of annoyance. Sakura stared at him lovingly while Sasuke ignored her. They sat in silence while teams met their new senseis and left.

"What's taking our new sensei so long!?" Naruto yelled exasperated as he paced back and forth in the front of the classroom.

"Calm down Naruto, I'm sure our new sensei will be here soon," Sakura reasoned, looking away from Sasuke for a brief moment before going right on back to staring.

"I'm going to set a trap for him!" Naruto declared as he grabbed an eraser. He shoved it in between the door so it would fall when the door was slid open.

"That's not going to work, moron. Our sensei will be smarter than that," Sasuke mocked in his monotonous voice.

"I agree with Sasuke! It'll never work," Sakura mocked. 'But that would be so awesome if it did!' Sakura thought to herself.

"I don't know, I think there's a possibility it might work," Ai mumbled while staring out the window.

The door slid open and a man with silver hair and a face shrouded by a mask walked into the classroom. The eraser dropped onto his head and sent little clouds of chalk everywhere.

Naruto bust out laughing, "Ha I knew it'd work!"

"I'm so sorry sensei. I tried to stop him…" Sakura tried to apologize while holding in her own laughter.

"Based on my first impression, I'd have to say… I hate you."

"Let's get to know each other a little better. Why don't you start by saying a few things about yourselves," Their sensei proposed.

"Like what?"

"The usual. What your favorite thing is, what you hate the most, dreams, ambitions, hobbies. Stuff like that," He explained.

"I don't get it. You go first," Naruto demanded.

"Me? My name is Kakashi Hatake. I don't feel like talking about my likes or dislikes. My dreams and hobbies are none of your business," He finished. He looked at the three expectantly.

"All we learned was his name," Sakura whispered to Ai.

"Why don't you start?" Kakashi suggested while gesturing to Naruto.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki! My likes are ramen and being treated to free ramen. My dislikes are the three minutes I have to wait after I pour in the boiling water. My hobbies are practical jokes. My dream is to be the Hokage and then everyone will have to acknowledge me!"

"Next."

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate many things and have few things I do like. I don't have any dreams but I do have a plan to restore my clan. There's also a person I have sworn to kill." Sasuke replied with a deep intensity present in his eyes.

Ai scooted a little farther away from Sasuke, a little freaked out by his intensity.

"I'm Sakura Haruno. My favorite thing is, well it's a person not a thing. I hate Naruto! My dream is to-" Sakura glanced over at Sasuke and squealed into her hands.

"My name is Ai Uzumaki! My favorite thing is spending time with my friends. The thing I hate the most is snakes. My hobbies are reading and training. My dream in life is to become an excellent ninja!" Ai smiled at the end, picturing her future.

"Very well. I think we all understand each other now. Formal training begins tomorrow. We will be doing survival exercises. Meet me at the training grounds tomorrow," And with that, he was gone in a puff of smoke.

After she was dismissed, Ai decided to head home. Wanting to work off some of her hyperness, she decided to run. Smelling something delicious, Ai turned her head to look while not paying any attention to what was in front of her. With a thud, Ai ran into somebody and fell onto the ground. Ai looked up and saw a very oddly dressed boy standing in front of her.

"Hello."
