Don't own Naruto or Bleach or anything.

Chapter 1

"SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY!," yelled Iruka-sensei. He usually did not swear at his students, but they were about to leave the academy and they were loud as hell! As the rowdy rookie genins quieted down he thought to himself, Geez its been six years since they have been this loud.

This had been a rather excellent class this year. Maybe as exceptional as the legendary Rookie Nine. Speaking of which they would be taking on this year's new genins. Except for Shikamaru of course. He already had a team. And a rather exceptional team at that. They were considered the best genin team in Konoha at only the age of thirteen and would most likely become chunins this year. Not surprising, since two of them were modeled after two of the previous hokages. And one of them was only ten years old!

Iruka cleared his throat and started listing members of the new teams and their senseis.

"Team 5 will consist of Kurosaki Ichigo, Abarai Renji, and Inoue Orihime. Your sensei will be Uzumaki Naruto."

"Team 6 will consist of Ishida Uryuu, Kuchiki Rukia, and Sado Yasutora. Your sensei will be Hyuuga Hinata."

"Team 7 will consist of Yamada Hanatarou, Kira Izuru, and Matsumoto Rangiku. Your sensei will be Haruno Sakura."

This will be interesting, thought Iruka. With the legendary Rookie Nine teaching, he expected some pretty damn good ninjas this year. He always knew that Naruto would make an excellent sensei. He was a very strong and good influence on people. Each of these genin was very unique. Especially those on Naruto's team.

Kurosaki Ichigo, son of the famous former ANBU captain, Isshin. Retired because of a leg injury that confined him to a wheelchair. He was one of the top in the class. He wasn't a very social person. Preferring to remain distant with people. Though this was expected after the person he loved more than the world, his mother, had been assassinated in front of his eyes. The reasons behind her assassination were known to only the Tsunade-sama, the council, and maybe Naruto. Ichigo didn't want that happening again. Iruka knew that Naruto would get him to reach out to people again. I mean after Sasuke leaving the village Naruto proved to everyone that he do anything to help people.

Abarai Renji, part of an ancient clan that was slowly diminishing and had a unique taijutsu style that had been supposedly practiced before any charka techniques were used. He was near the bottom of the class. Being a very loud, obnoxious, as well as unpopular, and made fun of because of his blood red hair, he would definitely get along well with Naruto. His worst flaw was probably that he had a very short temper as well as a violent one. Yes, he would get along very well with Naruto.

Inoue Orihime, younger sister to the prodigy, Sora. He was genius. Skilled in both defensive and healing techniques. He had mysteriously disappeared on an S-class mission in Iwa. Presumed to be dead. She was also afraid to reach out to people out of fear of them being taken cruelly away. Though she was a bit more social than Ichigo.

Iruka now saw the reason Tsunade put those three with Naruto.

"Alright," said Naruto, "We'll all go around introducing ourselves and saying our likes, dislikes goals, and hobbies, etc." He looked at his teams bemused faces.

"I'll go first," said Naruto. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like my friends and the entire village of Konoha and will do anything to protect them. I dislike people that look down on me and underestimate me. I also dislike people that call me a demon and monster and such." At this all three genin wore a confused expression and Ichigo couldn't help but wonder why people would call him that. He seemed like a pretty nice person. Did it have anything to do with those odd whisker marks on his face? "My goal is to become the hokage and protect everyone," continued Naruto. My hobbies are eating ramen!" he said with a huge grin.

"My name is Kurosaki Ichigo and I like people who aren't jerks. I dislike people who take advantage of innocent people and destroy them. My goal is to find out who assassinated my mother."

"My name is Abarai Renji and I like practicing new techniques. I dislike people who look down on me. My goal is to restore my tribe to its former glory."

"My name is Inoue Orihime and I like helping people in need as well as cooking! I dislike people who think that just because I am a girl doesn't mean I can be an excellent kunoichi. My goal is to figure out what happened to my brother."

This was predictable, thought Naruto. The old woman just had to give her nutcases that sounded just like Sasuke.

Flashback…

But Baa-chan! Naruto whined. "I don't have time to take on a team for the next few years. Now that Akatsuki has been defeated I have more time to find Sasuke!"

"SILENCE," yelled back the slug princess. "You will do as your village commands you. I have never seen you like this! Usually you are very energetic about missions. Besides a requirement that all hokages must have is having taught a genin team. You do want to be the next hokage, am I right?"

As Naruto surged with emotions Shikamaru, who appeared to be sleeping on the couch in the hokage tower spoke up.

"C'mon Naruto, it ain't so bad. It's rather easy, to tell you the truth. And don't worry Sasuke will come back eventually. Think of this as another step towards you being hokage. As soon as you're done you can go on and search for Sasuke."

"Fine," said Naruto, "I'll do it."

End of Flashback…

One thing was certain in Naruto's mind. He was going to fail this team. No matter what. He had to find Sasuke first. He made a promise to Sakura six years ago. And he never went back on his word. Because that was his way of the ninja!

"All three of you meet me at Training Ground 12 tomorrow at 6AM," Naruto said.

As he was about to leave he spoke up again.

"O yeah, I forgot to say but don't eat any breakfast because you will just throw it up in the training I am gonna put you guys through.
