-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto Uzumaki was excited. Who wouldn't be? Today was the day he and all the other children from the Village Hidden in the Leaves will become Genin, the lowest rank of ninja. He sat down, not bothering to look around, his mind totally focused on becoming a ninja. He was woken out of his stupor when he heard a voice to his right,
"Hey, Naruto, do you think you could move for a sec?"
He looked to his right and saw Sakura Haruno, the girl of his dreams.
"You want to sit next to me?" he asked, hardly daring to believe his luck.
"You? Of course not you, I want to sit next to Sasuke," she said, shattering his dreams.
He looked to his left and saw a ninja by the name of Sasuke Uchiha.
Naruto grumbled to himself, Why is it ALWAYS him, it's not like he's cool or anything. How wrong he was. Almost all the girls swooned over him, trying to gain his affections, even though it was all for nought.
Then, with a bang and a puff of smoke, Iruka materialised in the middle of the room, startling a few kids in the room, Naruto included,
"Hello there," he said, "I assume you all know why you're here? Yes? Good. Now, in a couple of seconds, the Jonin will enter, and select you to form 3-man squads. You have no choice who you're going to be teamed up with. We tried to even out all the teams."
With a chain-reaction of bangs and smoke, all 10 Jonin appeared in the room, startling Naruto again.
"And here they are," continued Iruka Sensei, "Honourable Jonin, I leave them in your...capable...hands."
So saying, and using a Teleportation Jutsu, disappeared.
So the Choosing began. Naruto didn't really listen to the other names, just waiting for his and Sakura's, to see if they were going to be in the same squad. Finally...
"Squad 7, under the instruction of Sensei Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki..." Naruto waited to hear what he wanted to... "Sakura Haruno..." Naruto punched the air, while Sakura's head thumped into the desk, then..."and Sasuke Uchiha." Now it was her turn to punch the air while Naruto's head thumped the desk.
Behind him, a girl called Hinata sighed to herself, she missed being out in Naruto's squad. She harboured a long-standing crush on Naruto, but being shy and quiet, didn't say anything, just hoping one day that he'd pick up the hidden message in her eyes.
Just as the Choosing was coming to a close, the door opened, and in walked Iruka Sensei again, following behind him was a strange looking kid, he looked like he didn't come from Hidden Leaf Village. After a quick consultation with the Jonin, he turned back to the assembled kids,
"This boy's name is Adam Gale, he came from overseas, and he wished to become a ninja."
At this, almost all the kids in the room cracked up laughing, the rest barely holding it in.
"Before you all laugh too much, with no training and exercises you have had, he not only completed the acceptance trials in record time, but with 100% rating."
This shut the room up real fast, for no one else had ever gotten 100%, the closest being Sasuke with 96%. Someone yelled out,
"What was his time?"
"Sasuke's record time is 13:42:73. Adam's was 5:00:00," answered Iruka
The room was dead silent.
"The Jonin have all agreed," Iruka continued, "that he will join Squad 7 with Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke."
"Your new Sensei will tell you when and where to meet them tomorrow. Dismissed."
The next day at 8:00am, at the head of the four Hokage heads, squad 7 met. After half an hour, Kakashi finally arrived.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late. How is everyone?" he asked, then without waiting for an answer he continued, "good? Excellent! Now we'll do an introduction, you know, go around and introduce ourselves. I'll go first, then to Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and the new kid. My name is Kakashi Hatake, and I have many likes or dislikes. I am the kind of person that doesn't feel like talking about my dreams to people like you. I have goals, but they don't seem important to you. Next."
What the hell, thought Sakura, he didn't tell us anything except his name!
Naruto started, "Hi, my name's Naruto Uzumaki, my likes are Ramen noodles, playing pranks, and…well, I suppose that's about it," he said
"Ok, Naruto, that was...good," said Kakashi, thinking that this kid was just another run-of-the-mill kid who thought he was better than everyone else, but Naruto wasn't finished yet.
"My dream is to become the next Hokage!" he said, "Then finally people will stop treating me like dirt and finally begin to respect me!"
Kakashi was surprised. This kid had some serious drive. "Ok," he said, pointing at Sakura, "You next."
"Ok, my name's Sakura Haruno, my likes are Sas...ummm, never mind, but my dislikes are NARUTO!!"
Naruto hung his head, moaning to himself.
"Ok... next, Sasuke," said Kakashi
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, the last of the Uchiha clan. I have no likes or dislikes. There seems to be no point in talking about 'dreams' since it is just a word. My goals in life are to restore my clan and to kill a certain someone."
Kakashi seemed unperturbed by Sasuke's speech, turning to the next, "Ok Adam, you're up."
"Ok, my name's Adam Gale, and, as you heard, I'm from overseas. I came here to try to become a ninja. When I arrived, I was given the choice of what Village to train at. The...deeds...of Naruto had reached even my ears, not an easy thing, trust me, so I decided to train here."
"Wow," said Naruto, "you came here just because of me?"
"I came to see whether you were as…slow…as people said you were," continued Adam, "I have a...special ability, some would call it."
"Oh?" said Kakashi, "and what might that be?"
"Where I come from, I'm called a Psyker, which is someone with enhanced mental abilities."
"Uh-huh," said Sasuke, "and what might these enhanced mental abilities do?"
"Well," answered Adam, "I can read minds, move things without touching them, can recreate the effects of chakra, uhmmm, what else? Oh yeah, I can set things on fire just by thinking about it; heaps of cool stuff that you'll see later on."
Sakura was just smothering her laughter, "You actually want us to believe you can do that?"
"Well," said Adam, "if you want proof..."
He looked at a nearby tree and put his hand towards it, palm outwards, fingers slightly clenched. Kakashi was watching Adam's eyes, knowing that if there was going to be any spark of what there was to come, it would show there. There it was! A momentary flash of blue-green fire behind his eyes and suddenly the tree burst into flames. "Now..." Adam said, as if putting on a show. He got his other hand and with an upwards thrusting motion, pulled the tree out of the ground. Then turning the tree on it's side, got both hands and put them together in front of him, knuckles touching, fingers still slightly clenched. Then, pulling his hands apart ripped the tree in half, throwing both halves far away.
Unfortunately, one half flew towards the village.
"Oops," Adam said, "Just let me get that for you."
Extending his hand again, he stopped the tree's flight in mid-air and brought it back towards the four of them slowly. When it was in front of Sakura, he dropped it on the ground in front of her. "Proof enough, yet?" he asked.
Wow, this guy's really something, Kakashi thought, if I tried something like that, I'd feel wasted with the amount of energy used. But he's not even puffed!
"Ok," Kakashi said, "That's enough for today. Meet me at the Southsway Bridge at 7:00am. Don't eat breakfast; you might throw up at the test I've got planned for you."
After the four of them broke up, Adam went looking around the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Once he turned around to see something behind him, and he saw a girl following him, although he did not know her. As soon as he turned around she turned away, as if trying to hide she had been following him.
"Hey, what were you following me for?" Adam called out
As soon as he said that, the girl turned started running, so Adam gave chase, not about to leave this interesting find unresolved. The girl was extremely agile, as you'd expect from a ninja, and a girl. She was also extremely easy to follow, however, and eventually, she gave up, slumping against the wall of a house, a fair way away from the village. Adam sat on his heels across from her, not letting his guard down for a second. Although the girl was breathing heavily, Adam was not the least bit out of breath.
"Now, I'll ask again, what were you following me for? Were you told to spy on me?"
"No! Not spy! I just wanted to see you, that's all," she answered in a very soft voice.
"Hmmmm...Your mind, it is closed to me. Tell me, who taught you?"
"What do you mean? I do not understand," she answered, her eyes wide.
"But I...ah, you have the Byakugan. That would explain it. But with a little circumnavigating...there. Free entry."
"W-what do you mean 'free entry'?" she asked fearfully.
"Hmm? Oh, don't worry about it, I'm just mumbling to myself. It's just that now I can see into your mind. Oh my, you are focused on Naruto aren't you?" he said with a slight smile.
"W-what? H-how can you...? Get out of my head!!" she said, her voice rising.
"Hey, someone's angry!" said Adam, "I wonder why...let's see what we can find in here."
"No! No!! You aren't allowed to look there!!" the girl screamed.
"What? Oh, ok then. Let's see...what's your name...ah, Hinata. That's a nice name. Time for me to leave," and he withdrew his presence from her mind.
Now, totally sure she meant no harm, he sat down next to her with a small sigh, put an arm around her, and hugged her, knowing that having an unknown presence in your mind was a scary thing.
"Look," he said, "I'm sorry I had to do that, but it's become instinct to read the minds of people to make sure they don't mean me any harm. It's like an instinct to survive."
She turned into him, her head against his chest, Adam still talking soothingly to her. When the sobs finally stopped, he put a finger under her chin and made her look into his eyes.
"You know, people say you can learn a lot from people by searching their eyes," Hinata said.
"Really?" asked Adam, "and what do mine say?"
"Your eyes say that you have had a hard life, with little love or compassion. Am I right?"
Adam was surprised, "Yes, you are right. Is there anything else?"
"Nothing of great importance," she said, "now, see if you can tell what mine say."
"Ok," said Adam, "I'll give it a try. Yours say your life has been pretty good. You have a mother, father and brother, a few years older than you, called Neji. Am I getting close?"
Hinata's eyes were wide open, "You were looking into my mind again weren't you?"
"The eyes are the easiest conduit to the mind," said Adam with a slight smile, "now, I have to go. Do you wish me to tell Naruto how you feel about him? He has a right to know."
"Oh, um...yes, please tell him," said Hinata, blushing, once again becoming the shy girl with the soft voice.
"Ok, I will. One thing though, even though you like him, he may not be willing to return the sentiments, for he has a crush on another girl, also in squad 7."
"Sakura?" she asked, "why her?"
"I know not, save that he does," said Adam, "Now, I must leave. Goodbye."
So saying, he jumped to the roof and bounded away. A few blocks later, he ran into a boy, standing on the roof with his back to him.
"Neji. Why are you here?" asked Adam
Neji turned around in surprise, "How do you know my name?"
With a slight smile, Adam said, "Your sister told me, in a roundabout sort of way."
"That's the thing I wish to talk about. Keep your hands off her. I saw you, I don't know what you did to her, but from now on, leave her alone."
"Oh, and pray tell, Neji," said Adam, "how do you plan to stop me? I think you would rather me as her boyfriend than, say, Naruto Uzumaki?"
"She likes Naruto? How do you know this?" Neji asked
"It matters not, just do not bother me again. Whatever I wish to do, you cannot stop me. Take heart though, I do not use people for selfish needs."
"You want to see how I stop you? Like this!" yelled Neji, throwing himself at Adam.
Adam put his hand out, the same way as when he uprooted the tree, and Neji stopped in midair, unable to move. "See, Neji? This is how I will stop you. Bother me again, and I shall throw you from the roof. Now leave." Adam lowered his hand, releasing the power.
"How did you do that?!" asked Neji
"If you wish to survive, never ask me that again," answered Adam, jumping over Neji, and into the distance.
