Ohayo!~ This is my first time writing a Naruto fanfic, I hope you guys don't mind that I made some changes to a certain character (you'll know who it is when you read it!). Anyway, ENJOY!~
"KYA!~"
"Sasuke-kun!~"
"Can I sit next to you!?"
"No! Sasuke-kun is going to sit with me!"
"Who would want to sit next to you!? I'm the one that should sit with him!"
"No! I should be the one!"
"No! Me!"
"Get real you losers!~ Me! Let me sit next to you Sasuke-kun!~"
It was a fine morning in the Leaf Village Ninja Academy, well sort of after these lovesick girls decided to scream their heads off just to sit next to their dream guy, yeah, not so fine anymore.
Sasuke Uchiha, the last of his clan. At the age of four, his brother, Itachi Uchiha, murdered his whole clan in cold blood, he was the only survivor. For that day one, he went through an emotional breakdown that turned him into a cold-hearted heart throb. He never cared for anyone and set his goal to take revenge on his brother one day to avenge his clan. He excelled in many things, taijutsu, genjustu, ninjutsu and academics. As an Uchiha trait, he has good looking features resulting in many girls to come after him, without even knowing anything about him. This was a daily routine, his fangirls would always surround him, annoying him till no end, but who would notice.
"Oi, Naruto. What are you doing here? This is for Genins," an irritated and sleepy Shikamaru asked. He notice Naruto entering the classroom with a large grin on his face.
"Can't you see this Shikamaru? Can't you see? This is my headband!" Naruto said while lightly pulling on the metal plate, showing off to Shikamaru.
"What? You mean you actually graduated? What a drag," stated Shikamaru.
"Hhmf! Believe it or not, one day I'm gonna become Hokage!"
"It's morning…,"
In a traditional Japanese mansion unknown to the village that lays silent deep in the forest, a certain pink haired girl was looking out through the window. Outside was the forest light by the Sun, the sky was a beautiful azure blue and white clouds were covering some places in the sky. She was looking at the sky with an expressionless face yet with eyes that shone brightly under the sunlight. Her pale skin still beautiful under the light and silky knee-length pink hair that stays neat even after a peaceful sleep.
After a while, she looked away and went to the bathroom to take a bath and brush her teeth. When she went out she got into her clothes. A sleeveless, off shoulder black dress that reach mid-thigh, around the waist is a blue obi. Over her dress is a royal blue sleeveless jacket that reach to her chest. She wears a pair of black fingerless gloves past her elbows, black knee-high leggings and a pair of blue ninja sandals. Her front bangs were swept to the left while the lower part of her long side bangs are each tied by two red strings with two gold bells at the ends, her headband is tied around her forehead.
She walked out of the mansion and kept walking, it would take a while to get out of the forest, but then she disappeared in nothing but thick mist. In the village, she appeared in the same mist and continued on walking to the academy, her weird way of appearing went unnoticed by the villagers as they all were doing their own things.
She didn't seem to bother either, only focusing on her destination.
"Sasuke-kun!~"
The first thing she heard and saw when entered the classroom was a fangirls-surrounded-Sasuke and an angered Naruto standing on a desk in front of him, glaring at each other, you could really see the sparks between them. Ino and the other fangirls were yelling at Naruto to stop glaring at 'their' Sasuke. Unfortunately, none of that matter to her since she wasn't a fangirl, it was all like that when suddenly…
A male student went to the seat behind Naruto and accidentally bumped into him.
"Oops! Sorry there, didn't see ya!"
Everything was in slow motion, Naruto falling towards Sasuke and their lips almost met. She saw a book lying on the teacher's desk, so she went to grab it and in a swift movement of her hand, the book went flying to Naruto, knocking him in the face. Being knocked in the face by such force caused him to move in another direction and fell on the ground on Sasuke's left. Everyone turned to look at her, or so, until they were looking at nothing but empty space.
"Is it occupied?" a voice suddenly said. Everyone was shocked to find her standing in the crowd of fangirls, looking at Sasuke. All of them were thinking the same thing,
"How did she get there!?"
It wasn't long before Iruka-sensei walked in with a clipboard in his hand. A beat-up Naruto was sitting on Sasuke's left while she sat at his right. Iruka-sensei decided to ignore Naruto, knowing that this could only be caused by a ruthless group of fangirls.
"Alright listen up! Today I'm going to announce the teams that will be together,"
Everyone went silent, each of them wanting to know who they're going to be teamed up with. Ino was betting on that she would be with Sasuke, Naruto was thinking of being with Sakura and not 'that jerk', Sasuke was cursing that a team would only slow him down and Sakura was…. Well, not thinking much.
Iruka started announcing the teams when he reached Team 7.
"Team 7, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki…..,"
Hearing this, Naruto was sulking in his seat.
"and Sakura Haruno,"
This time, Naruto went cheering. Iruka-sensei continued to announce the rest of the teams.
Naruto suddenly stands up and pointed at Sasuke.
"Iruka-sensei, why do I have to be on the same team as Sasuke!?"
"Enough! We put you into team to balance the strength. Naruto, your scores were the lowest. Sasuke is not only the top of the class but is also Rookie of the year. Sakura is put in your team because she excelled in many and like Sasuke, Kunoichi of the Year. I hope you learn something from them," Iruka-sensei finally explained.
"Hmpft!" Naruto sat down, still not accepting that he has to be in the same team as his rival.
Iruka-sensei smiled at this and then set his eyes on Sakura, thinking of what happened this morning.
~Flashback~
While Naruto fell down, the Hokage and some jounins were gathered together watching the incident through an orb.
"The genins this year sure is hyper," a female voice sounded.
"I heard that you're the one who graduated that kid, Iruka,"
"Yes,"
"What are his grades Iruka?" the Hokage asked.
"Naruto Uzumaki, an orphan. He's the lowest in class and considered a troublemaker by the villagers,"
"And what about him?"
"Sasuke Uchiha, he's the last of his clan. He's good at every skill and academics. It's said that his clan was massacred by his brother, Itachi Uchiha,"
"The last of his clan eeh?" the female jounin exclaimed.
"What about that girl?" a silver-haired jounin decided to ask, not letting his eyes off the girl who was able to get through the crowd of fangirls.
"Sakura Haruno. She excelled at many, taijutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu and class. There's no information on her background, she's a mystery…," Iruka said with curiousity.
"Hmmm," the silver-haired jounin eyes haven't left the pinkette for one second.
"What is it Kakkashi? You've taken interest in her?" a male jounin teased.
"I just think, it's interesting,"
"Sakura Haruno, a true mystery,"
All the time he was looking at her, she didn't even respond to anything, remaining in her position all the time. He's not even sure what she's looking at, or if she's even looking at anything at all and what's going in her head. He couldn't do anything but just sweatdrop at her.
It was lunch time and all the students were having lunch at who cares where.
A pinkette was sitting on a field under the sun while munching on a melon bread. The wind was softly blowing her hair making it fly around her.
~Meawhile~
"Why did I have to be put up with you guys!?" an irritated Ino was complaining. With her were Shikamaru and Choji.
"Don't get the idea that I want to be with you either. This is so troublesome," an annoyed Shikamaru said under his breath.
Choji didn't care to their conversation since he was already busy eating his chips.
"Hey, it's that Naruto?"
"So? Who cares!"
"I think you should when he's about to surprise-attack Sasuke,"
"WHAT!?"
Indeed, Naruto was sneaking towards Sasuke, who was eating alone in a room. When he got near enough to the window he was leaning on, he jumped in, what happened in there was all blank cause when he jumped, the window closed and all they could hear was some rummaging noise.
"What is he trying to do with my Sasuke!? Argh!~~"
"Hn. I'd like to see how Sasuke will come out of this," a pleased Shikamaru said.
"Shut up! Sasuke will definitely win. It's Naruto he's dealing with,"
A few minutes later, 'Sasuke' came out through the window.
"See! Sasuke-kun will never lose!" a happy Ino exclaimed.
~With Sasuke~
"What does Naruto thinks he's doing!?"
He was just enjoying time alone when an idiot, Naruto, decided to jump on him. Now he's tied up and lying on the ground struggling to get free. Naruto had left after transforming into him for who knows what reason! After a while of struggling he was able to free himself, rope wasn't going to keep him.
"Hn. What an idiot,"
~Back to Sakura~
It was really strange actually. She was just eating when suddenly a smirking Sasuke appeared out of nowhere and said that he wanted to kiss her. Her expression remains unchanged while she looks at him, her mouth still munching on a quarter piece of melon bread.
"Sakura, you're so beautiful that it makes me want to kiss you," was what he said. Then he walked closer to her and sat beside her while giving her enough space. All this time she still hasn't make a move, but he can sense she's looking at him.
"Sakura, what do you think of Naruto?" by the time he turned his head and look at her, she was finish eating and no longer looking his way. Outside he seems fine but on the inside he's sweatdropping. She was beautiful and cute but her attitude says otherwise.
Her legs were pulled up and her arms were laying on her knees. Her eyes showed nothing yet shone brightly. She didn't even say a single word! Alright, now he was sweatdropping on the outside.
"Err…," he doesn't even know what to say to her! But he didn't come here for nothing.
"Hey, Sakura…," she slightly turned her head and looked at him. He started to lean closer to her, closing his eyes. It was all going well, until….
"growl~~" his stomach decides to ruin everything.
He immediately ran off with an excuse that he'll talk to her later. All the while, Sasuke was standing behind a tree watching all of this. He was just walking when he saw 'himself' with Sakura. He just sweatdrop at how idiotic Naruto was to transform into him just to kiss her! But the most unbelievable part was that she didn't even seem fazed but just a situation, what if he actually kissed her!?
"Hn," well, no used to complain about that since he also couldn't get the girl. So, he decided to step out and just see how will she react after seeing two Sasuke's' appear before her.
"Hey," he walked to her and she, finally, did a full turn to look at someone. He just couldn't get what Naruto was thinking about her! Though that, she doesn't seem to be surprise. Now he finally get why Naruto was always acting strange around her, she was a complete weirdo! All this time she didn't even utter a single word and didn't even pay attention to anything!
His eyebrow twitched with annoyance or was it something else? But he couldn't stop thinking, she was really cute!
"Wait! What am I thinking!?"
He brush that thought out of his mind and decided to break the silence, even he, the great Uchiha, was unable to bear with this awkward atmosphere around them right now.
"sigh. Let's go, lunch time is over," after saying that he turned and walked back to the classroom they were supposed to meet their new sensei with. She stood up and walked behind him. The walk back was in a comfortable silence, none of them said a single thing.
~In the classroom~
"Arrgh!~ How long do we have to wait! We've been staying here for an hour. All the other team had already left!" complained a frustrated Naruto. Sasuke was annoyed by him, but he has a right to be angry anyway. They've been waiting for an hour.
Naruto was walking back and forth at the front, Sasuke was sitting at the front row and Sakura was sitting on the window in the same position she had at the field while looking out the window. Then, Naruto somehow thought of a prank to play on their new jounin sensei.
"That'll show him for being late!"
The plan was, when their sensei opens the door an eraser would fall on his head. Yeah, like he'll fall for that, it's a jounin he's talking about, the one would hold their future to see whether or not their cut out to be a genin or even higher.
"Naruto, he won't fall for that," Sasuke stated.
"Hhmpft! Then what do you suggest we do, Mr. Know-it-all!"
"Hn,"
The next thing they knew, a magical thing happened. It seems their new sensei finally decided to show up and actually fell for Naruto's trick! The eraser fell to the ground, Sasuke could only think of one thing,
"Is he really a jounin?"
"Hmm, my first impression on you guys are, you're all idiots," the silver-haired jounin who fell for Naruto's prank said, like he's not weird. While saying this, his eyes dart to Sakura, who just looked at him with equal weirdness but went unnoticed by them.
"Alright you idiots, meet me at the roof," after saying he just left and they all left too using the long way, the stairs. Sakura hadn't even reacted to the situation, Sasuke was cursing that their sensei is another weirdo and Naruto was "fuming by what he said, their idiots.
~At the roof~
"Okay then, why not we introduce ourselves," when they finally got to the roof and finally sat down, their sensei, who was sitting on the railings, stated that it would be great to know each other more by an introduction.
"Why not you start first sensei? So we know what to say," said Naruto, the anger from before disappearing as soon as it came.
"Me? Well, my name is Kakkashi Hatake. My likes and dislikes is for you to figure it out, hobbies, I have lots of hobbies and as for my dream, hmm… never thought about it," well that was a great introduction, all they learnt was his name.
"Now why not you start first, the blonde kid," Kakkashi pointed to Naruto so that he could start.
"Hi! My name is Naruto Uzumaki! What I like is ramen and what I hate is that you have to wait three minutes for the water to cool. My hobbies are sorting different kinds of ramen,"
"Oh, then what is your dream?"
"Ha! My dream is to be THE GREATEST HOKAGE! I'll be Hokage so that everyone can accept me and acknowledge my strength!" Naruto exclaimed with a bright smirk on his face.
"Hmm, to be Hokage eeh?"
"Okay, now it's your turn,"
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I don't like anything and hate everything. My hobbies are none of your business and my dream is not a dream, cause it's going to be reality. One day I'll kill a certain someone," Sasuke said in his usual monotone way.
"Right, and I have a hunch on who that person is,"
"Alright, last is you pinky,"
When it was Sakura's turn she, unlike them who looked at him, looks at the ground with a blank expression, her sitting position is still the same.
"Sakura Haruno… likes and dislikes… don't know… hobbies… not sure… dream is… don't have right now…,"
They could only look at her with disbelief, she's like Kakkashi-sensei but worst!
"Sakura-chan…," even the hyperactive Naruto didn't knew what to say. Sasuke was just thinking how mysterious she was.
"Right~, she's…, I don't even know what to call her!" Of all the genins he'd met, he never saw anyone like her or even close to her at all.
"Okay, that was nice. So know we all get to know each other more. Meet me at training ground 7 tomorrow 5 a.m. in the morning, got it?"
"What are we going to do sensei? Is it a mission!?"
"No, it's a survival test,"
"A survival test? But we already did that before in the academy,"
"Yes, but this is different. This test is to see if you are worthy to be a genin, it's like pass or fail,"
"But we already graduated!"
"Hehe, if I tell you the reason then would you still come?"
"Tell us sensei! We want to know!"
Kakkashi gave them a quick scan to see if they really want to know, Sakura was still looking at the ground.
"Out of the genin who graduated from the academy only 66.7% was able to fully pass and the others failed. Those who failed gets sent back to the academy while those who passed was able to move on,"
After saying, Naruto became nervous and scared, even Sasuke was fazed by it, but Sakura wasn't even budging. Kakkashi was pleased to see the look on their faces.
"Oh well, let's just say good luck. Remember to bring your ninja gear and don't eat breakfast, otherwise you'll puke," Kakkashi exclaimed with a smile before disappearing in a puff of smoke. Naruto gulped down the lump in his throat that he didn't even know.
"Ha! Like that'll stop me. I'm gonna pass whatever test he throw at me! Believe it!" Naruto went back to his goofy self.
"Sakura-chan, let's walk back together!" Naruto, with a grin asked the female that was beside him, or, was supposed to be beside him, only to found that he was talking to empty space and the pinkette was already gone.
"When did she left? Or better yet, when did she even moved?!"
Even a Great Uchiha like himself couldn't catch her movement, it was like she just disappeared!
"sigh. No use in trying to find out where she went. Why am I even concerned?"
Ever since the incident this morning, he couldn't get the pinkette out of his mind, not in a weird way. He just couldn't understand her…
Mystery.
