Chapter One: The Ninja Academy

I don't own Naruto or any or its characters. I only own the OCs.

Rated M for language, suggestive themes and possible lemons in the future as well as in the flashbacks.

Normal POV:

Iruka handed Katsuki Uchiha her forehead protector. "Here you are, Katsuki. You have some of the best marks in the class," he said as he smiled at her.

Katsuki smiled and took the forehead protector. "Thank you, Iruka-Sensei," she thanked him, using the mannerisms her mother and father had taught her. She had been anticipating the day of graduation for a whole year, and she had passed her first time (she giggled at her success, as her mother had told her—before she entered the academy—frequently of how Naruto had failed many times before he finally passed) and had became a genin, she was ecstatic; she had to calm herself before she took the forehead protector from Iruka.

"Alright. Now to assign you all to a jonin," Iruka said as he and Katsuki re-entered the classroom.

Katsuki went and sat beside her best friend—Kushina Uzumaki. "Oh yeah! Katsuki-chan, you passed! Hopefully we're on the same team!" the hyperactive blonde, lavender-eyed Kushina exclaimed as she hugged her best friend.

"Katsuki Uchiha, Kushina Uzumaki and Suzaku Nara. You're jonin-sensei will be Kakashi Hatake," Iruka called off the first team.

Kushina was overjoyed. "SO COOL! I'm on the same team and Katsuki-chan! I also have Kakashi-sensei! Can you believe that, Katsuki-chan? When I tell Dad, he won't believe it," she exclaimed hyperactively.

Katsuki chuckled at her best friend. "I'm sure Uncle Naruto won't believe that we got his old sensei as our sensei," she said, she looked back at her other teammate… Suzaku Nara, the son of Ino and Shikamaru. Katsuki won't ever admit it aloud, but she has a crush on Suzaku. The brownish-black hair of his father and the light blue eyes of his mother—an attitude that was a mixture of Ino's attitude and Shikamaru's attitude and he had Shikamaru's intellect; he also wore his hair in a low ponytail like Katsuki's father (Itachi) did. He was simply intriguing for Katsuki, she wanted to know everything about him.

"What do you think about having me on your team, Suzaku-kun?" Kushina said slightly annoyed to Suzaku. Many people knew that Kushina Uzumaki didn't really like Suzaku Nara. She didn't really like Akito Uchiha (Sasuke and Sakura's son) and Kohaku Uchiha (Reagan and Itachi's son, Katsuki's fraternal twin brother) either.

"Akito Uchiha, Shiori Hozuki, and Kyo (last name unknown). You're jonin-sensei will be Kimi Minakawa," Iruka called off the second team. Akito Uchiha, of course, having Sasuke and Itachi's clan's handsome features flowing through his blood, was the class heartthrob—along with his cousin Kohaku. Akito and Kohaku had the same hair color as well as eye color, yet came from different mothers; Akito's eye color was Sakura's eye color while his cousin Kohaku's eye color was that of Reagan's father's eye color (which is a light yellowish-green).

Akito also had his father's cold attitude, "Hn." not to mention he had his father's vocabulary. However, just like his father before him, that cold attitude, good looks—his father's chicken-ass hairstyle—and 'hn' vocabulary made him desired by every girl in class (minus Katsuki, of course). Akito, Kyo and Shiori stayed quiet; they gave each other a once-over to see what they'd be stuck with.

"Don't hold me back, Kyo," Shiori said emotionlessly and dispassionately. Shiori had never really had a mother's love, Karin had always been trying to get Sasuke to leave Sakura for her. The only person closest to a mother that she had was Reagan. Reagan showed Shiori the love she never got from her biological mother, her father loved her deeply and told her not to worry about her mother, that Reagan was a much better mother-figure than Karin could ever be. Shiori never blamed Sasuke for her not being properly loved by her mother, she blamed her mother being a sluttish obsessed fangirl of Sasuke's; also, she never blamed Sasuke for being so handsome either, she just blamed her mother's sluttish obsessed-with-Sasuke nature. Shiori, despite being the daughter of Sasuke's most annoying fangirl—Karin—she felt no desire whatsoever for Akito. She had more of a desire for Suzaku than she did anybody else in class. Shiori had her father's white hair with a light-blue tint (her father's Suigetsu) and her mother's red eyes. Shiori, since Reagan had been her mother figure, had qualities of Reagan's personality as well as qualities of Suigetsu's personality; but she could be quite cold sometimes regardless of the qualities she inherited from her father and from hanging with Reagan.

Kyo growled, "I'm not that weak! That was two years ago that I was weak, Shiori!" Kyo had always tried to rewrite what the kids of Konoha thought of him, and what they thought of him was that he was a weakling who would hold you back. Kyo had a kekkei genkai… a kekkei genkai that had not been seen in hundreds of years and nobody even knew existed… the shadow sharingan and could willingly turn it on and off as if it were the regular sharingan of the Uchiha clan. Since nobody knew that Kyo had the kekkei genkai shadow sharingan, which means he could rewrite what the kids thought of him. His kekkei genkai the shadow sharingan is just like the Uchiha clan's sharingan; it only has two principle differences… the shadow sharingan had darker effects when caught in its genjutsu than the sharingan of the Uchiha clan and the shadow sharingan is a dark purple instead of red. Other than those two differences, it is basically the Uchiha clan's sharingan, which meant that Kyo had to hail from a branch of the Uchiha clan.

Kyo, well, no one knew very much about his parents… some chūnin officers found him collapsed by the gates of Konoha two years ago, he was in horrible shape; he looked starved, in fact, he was starved and he had injuries to his wrists… he had been chained some time before he arrived at the gates. He had close to shoulder-length dark purple-ish pink hair with pitch-black eyes.

"Hn. You two better not be as annoying as my father's teammates were, got it," Akito said seriously. He was just as arrogant as his father was. Shiori wanted to punch him right then and there, but she refrained from doing so, she just glared at the arrogant son of Sasuke.

Shiori huffed and said almost darkly, "Excuse me? What was that, Akito? Did you just tell me not to be annoying?" she glared harder at the chicken-ass-headed boy.

"Hn."

"I will decide if I want to annoy you or not, got it, Akito," she rose her voice at Akito.

"Hn."

"Ugh! Having you as a teammate will be the worst! Iruka-sensei, please put me on another team!"

Iruka shook his head 'no'. "I will not do that. You and Akito are teammates from here on out, you must cooperate with one another if you are to survive the harsh world of battle that you will be well acquainted with outside of this room," he said sternly.

Shiori sighed deeply and said in an annoyed tone, "Fine! You hold me back, Akito, I will hospitalize you!"

"The rest of the teams have been called off and left to meet their jonin-sensei. The three of you, go and meet your jonin-sensei," Iruka said as he shooed them off. The three now teammates stood up and exited the room, going outside to wait for their sensei.

With Kakashi's new team—

Kakashi leaned on the railing, looking over his new team of genin. "All right. Let's begin with an introducing yourselves. Tell me stuff like your goals, your likes and your dislikes," he said to his new genin team.

"Hai! I'll start! I'm Kushina Uzumaki, and my goal is to become a greater ninja than my Dad—the current Hokage! I don't dislike much of anything expect the enemy… and I like most things!" Kushina said hyperactively serious. She clenched her fists as she looked out into space and her pale lavender eyes twinkled with determination.

Kakashi smiled under his mask, She is definitely Naruto and Hinata's girl. She has her father's hyperactivity that's for sure. The masked jonin thought to himself then spoke, "Interesting. You aim to become stronger than Naruto, who happens to be a former student of mine as well as your father."

Kushina punches her fist up into the air. "Hell yeah! I intend to surpass Dad, Kakashi-sensei!" she exclaimed proudly.

Her determination to surpass her father made Kakashi laugh. "Very well. Next," he said as he looked at the girl beside the hyperactive blonde, lavender-eyed girl. Katsuki was looking at her best friend, smiling as she punched the air and she didn't notice or hear Kakashi over her hyperactive best friend's chanting of how she would surpass her father. Kakashi cleared his throat. "I said, 'Next' meaning I want to hear about you," he said.

Katsuki snapped her head towards Kakashi as if he had caught her stealing, it donned on her that her sensei was probably talking about herself, "M-me? Do you mean me, sensei?" she said as she pointed to herself, her eyes wide. Kakashi nodded. Katsuki took a breath, "My name is Katsuki Uchiha. I absolutely love cabbage and onigiri with seaweed in it, though I like anything my parents fix for me. I don't particularly dislike anything to my knowledge. My goal is to become a great ninja like my mother and father are! Oh, not to mention I have already achieved another goal of mine, which was to master my sharingan," she said, her blue eyes twinkled like Kushina's with determination.

Kakashi was quite surprised at the black haired girl. "If you don't mind me asking, but just who are you're parents?" he asked the girl.

Katsuki smiled sweetly at her sensei. "My parents are Itachi Uchiha and Reagan Uchiha and my mother's maiden name was 'Higurashi' from what I've heard Shikamaru-sensei say. He calls mom, 'Higurashi' all the time," she said.

"Oh. So you're Reagan and Itachi's daughter?" Kakashi said curiously.

Now Katsuki glared at her sensei. "I just said that, sensei," she said irritatedly.

Kakashi apologized to the young Uchiha girl. "I'm sorry, just saying things that popped into my mind. As for mastering the Sharingan, congratulations on the Katsuki. You're quite young to have mastered the Sharingan already," he said quite impressed.

"Yeah, I know that I am quite young to have mastered the Sharingan, Kakashi-sensei, but you must remember that my dad is Itachi Uchiha—who had mastered his Sharingan when he was eight. Which coincidentally I happened to master my Sharingan at the age of six… two years before my dad mastered his Sharingan," the Uchiha girl said.

Kakashi's eyes widened and he just started at Katsuki in wonderment. "You mastered your Sharingan at the age of six? That is incredibly impressive as well as intriguing," he said to Katsuki. "Anyways, next," Kakashi said as he looked at Suzaku Nara.

Suzaku looked up at Kakashi. "Suzaku Nara. I honestly don't care about my likes or dislikes. My goals are for me to know and you all to find out," he said lazily as he closed one of his baby blue eyes and still looked up at Kakashi.

"Nice to meet you all. My name is Kakashi Hatake. We will have a test to determine which one of you, if not all, will return to the Academy or if I am not pleased with your efforts, I will have you dropped out of the ninja program. Don't eat dinner tonight and meet me at 5 am sharp tomorrow morning at the training grounds," Kakashi said seriously.

Kushina groaned loudly. "Kakashi-sensei! Do you still do that test," she complained. Katsuki smacked her best friend's arm and told her not to question their sensei's orders. "But, Katsuki-chan! I know how to pass… I think…" Kushina weakly assured her black haired bff. Suzaku sighed lazily, stood up and started to walk away. Kushina saw this and glared at the boy as he walked away. "Quitting already, Suzaku," she said almost evilly toward her teammate.

Suzaku stopped in his tracks and looked over his shoulder. "I'm not quitting, Kushina. Don't give me that crap. I'm just leaving so I can go get some sleep, considering Kakashi-sensei wants us at 5 am sharp and at the training grounds. You should think about doing the same, Kushina Uzumaki. This is going to be such a drag," he said then turned his head back forward and started to walk again.

Katsuki smiled as Suzaku walked off then turned to her peeved off friend. "Calm down, Kushina-chi. Suzaku-kun hasn't done a thing to you," she said as she tried to calm her friend down.

Kushina looked at her friend. "Oh yes he did, Katsuki-chan! When we were six, that asshole stole my piece strawberry cake when I went to go get something to drink," she said.

Really? Kushina-chi… you're seriously holding a grudge against Suzaku-kun because six year ago he stole your piece of strawberry cake? Katsuki thought as she continued to try and calm her friend down. "Kushina-chi… that happened SIX YEARS AGO! I think it's time to forgive and forget. He's our teammate now. When in fights, when must all rely on each other. You have to take that into consideration before you decide to hate him for the rest of your life. I mean look at Uncle Naruto and former Team 7, they at first really didn't like each other turned out to be the best of friends," she said as she tried to make her friend see that she needed to forget that since they will be entrusting each other with their lives.

Kushina huffed. "Fine! I guess I can forgive him for that. But still, I really wanted to eat the piece of strawberry cake," she said and sniffled as her eyes began to tear up as she remembered how much she wanted that piece of cake.

Katsuki sighed and said remembering correctly, "Auntie Hinata gave you another piece of strawberry cake, though, Kushina-chi."

"True, true but still," Kushina said as she and her best friend stood up and headed back to their houses. Kushina turned around to face Kakashi then sprinted towards him, jumped up in the air and glomped her sensei and her father's former sensei and kissed his cheek. "Love you, Kakashi-sensei! See you tomorrow morning! I don't intend on failing either," she said as she let go of Kakashi and walked away with her arm around her black haired best friend.

Kakashi chuckled, blushed slightly and walked away.

With Kimi's team—

Akito, Shiori and Kyo all remained quiet as they waited for their sensei to arrive. "Oi! Are the three of you my genin students?" A young lady with pale peachy colored hair and light blue-green eyes said to the three kids.

"Hn." Akito said simply.

Shiori snarled before she looked at the young woman. "Yes ma'am. You must be Kimi-sensei. Nice to meet you, I am Shiori Hōzuki," she said to her sensei.

Kimi smiled at the young white-headed-light-blue-tinted girl. "Yes. I am your Sensei. Kimi Minakawa. Ok, so let's here a little bit about yourselves! Just gimme a brief description of yourselves. How about you go first, Shiori," Kimi said to Shiori with a motherly smile.

Shiori blushed, Reagan smiled at her like Kimi was doing. "M-my name is Shiori Hōzuki. I am the daughter of Suigetsu Hozuki and… well, I don't see my biological mother Karin as my mother because she never gave me the motherly love I wanted. Reagan Uchiha has and still gives me the motherly love I need… so I see Reagan Uchiha as my mother figure. My father loves me deeply and has told me countless times, and I love my father deeply as well. Reagan Uchiha has told me that she loves me deeply as a real mother would. Anyways, I have my father's love of water and have a special ability like my father that I can transform my body into water, it actually comes in handy from time to time when fighting," she explained herself.

Kimi smiled lovingly at the white-light-blue-tinted-headed girl. "That is very interesting, Shiori. I know your mother figure, my older sister Mitsuki Inuzuka knows her. Reagan-senpai is a very amazingly sweet and loving woman, I understand why your father has you around her all the time. I also know your mother… I personally hate her, she is always trying to destroy Sakura-senpai and Sasuke-senpai's happiness," the pale-peachy-haired sensei said.

Shiori nodded. "I don't like my mother very much either. I mean, I hardly know the woman because she is always after getting into Sasuke's pants and having her way with him. I really wish that she would stop trying to destroy other people's marriages and start taking her motherly duties seriously," she said scornfully towards her mother.

"Oh my, how do you know such dirty terms, young lady?" Kimi said to Shiori as she looked at the young genin weirdly.

Shiori shrugged. "When you have a slut who is obsessed with having sex with a married man and trying to destroy that man's happy marriage as your mother… you learn a lot of terms you really shouldn't know," she said casually.

Kimi's eyes went wide and she stuttered a bit, "H-holy… I-I'm so sorry, Shiori! You should n-never have had to be exposed to that because of your mother wanting another man. I hope you don't get that from her."

"Don't worry, Kimi-sensei. I'd never be like that. Whoever I marry is the one who I intend to want to please," Shiori said truthfully.

Kimi sighed obviously relieved. "That's good," she patted Shiori's head. "Next," she continued and she pointed at Akito.

"The name's Akito Uchiha. Son of Sasuke and Sakura Uchiha. I must agree with Shiori, I'm sick of Karin snooping around the Uchiha district trying to bed my father and ruin his marriage with my mother. Even Uncle Itachi and Aunt Reagan have openly confronted Karin and told her to back off my father. Anyways, I have mastered the sharingan the my clan possesses, which was my main goal in life," Akito said in a the typical attitude of an Uchiha.

"Your father was a jerk to my Big Sis…" Kimi said as she glared at the black-haired boy for a few moments, "However, that all changed when Tsunade-Sama sent my Big Sis, Sasuke Uchiha, the current Hokage—Naruto Uzumaki, Reagan Higurashi (now Uchiha), and Suigetsu Hōzuki on a mission twelve years ago… they somehow became friends," Kimi said.

"Hn." Akito said uninterested. That black haired boy with the jade eyes of his mother was truly his father's son—in looks, attitude, and vocabulary.

"What happened on that mission that made Sasuke and Mitsuki become friends, Kimi-sensei?" Shiori asked curiously.

Kimi smiled. "I'll tell you all the story after we finish our introductions," she said as she looked at Kyo.

"Hello, my name is Kyo. I don't know much about my life prior to me being found by two chunin outside of the gates of Konoha. However, I have deduced that I come from a unique branch of a certain clan that hails from Konoha. I enjoy the quiet and frequently travel into the forest to clear my mind," Kyo said plainly.

Kimi looked at the boy. "Interesting… which clan do you think you hail from, Kyo?" Kimi asked curiously.

"For me to know and for you to find out," Kyo said mysteriously.

Shiori looked at Kimi. "Now can you tell us what happened on that mission that made Sasuke and Mitsuki become friends, Kimi-sensei," she asked unusually hyperactively.

"Why are you so interested, Shiori? Is it because your father went on this particular mission?" Kimi said as she teased the young Hozuki girl. "No matter the reason, I will tell you the story just as my Big Sis recalls it, to this very day," Kimi began to tell the story of how Sasuke and Mitsuki had become friends.
