Chapter 1 : Teamwork

That day was especial. All the academy had waited it for years.

Some girl was thinking that turning into gennin would be great, Iruka-sensei no longer could treat her like garbage as well her companions too. She was sitting alone at an empty table while the other students made conversations with each other about their futures as Ninjas.

The room was full of loudly voices and nervous comments about their new assignments. But that lonely girl was looking to nothing, although she was happy for finally being a gennin she hadn't any friend since years ago. No, everybody laughed about the Uzumaki girl who was alone and didn't have a family. How cruel the world was, no one remembered her brother and his sacrifice. His past lost in shadows when he died and leaved behind her sister to save Konoha, but still he remained unremembered.

-"Uzumaki!, stay away from Sasuke-kun!" -a voice shouted. She looked at her right to see what was the commotion.

-"Haruno? what are you complaining about now?" -she asked coldly. The pink-haired girl looked mad at the Uzumaki.

The Uzumaki could see all the girls of the academy behind Haruno. Haruno pointed behind the girl and she turned around confused.

There was Sasuke Uchiha, the cutest boy in the Academy but the most inexpressive too. He was looking at an empty point in the wall of the room with his hands covering the middle of his face.

She didn't know how he reached that place so quietly but she didn't care.

-"If you won't go I'll force you!" -Ino Yamanaka, the best friend of Sakura Haruno was the most annoying girl in the Academy. But Sakura was worst and she knowed it.

The Uzumaki girl looked at Sakura without any fear, then she smiled at them. The group of girls began to talk incoherencies angried with the Uzumaki girl who was sitting next to the Uchiha.

-"Hum, i really doubt it. Instead, why don't you come to me all together?. I can kick your asses without effort" -that caused the effect that she wanted: the group shuted up in a instant and then they returned to their sits in a few seconds.

But Sakura Remained in that place as she trembled, she knew the great taijutsu and ninjutsu of Uzumaki but was willing to take the risk if it was Sasuke.

-"Sa-Sasuke-kun, why don't you come with me? It is better to be with this..." -Sasuke looked at her with his full anger. Sakura got the message and she walked away from them as Iruka-sensei entered the room.

-"Ohayo" -he said and the class answered except Sasuke and the Uzumaki- "Well now that you're genins i'll announce the Teams" -Iruka said and the class made silence.

-"Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame will conform the team 8" -Kiba laughed looking at Shino who remained in silence and Hinata blushed as she played with her fingers.

-"The team 10 will consist on... Sakura Haruno" -her heart stopped for a moment in expectation: she wanted to be with Sasuke in her team- "Ino Yamanaka and Choji Akimichi" -Iruka concluded. Ino and Sakura looked at each other disappointed and then they watched Choji with disgust. Some murmurs could be heard around the room- "I know what you're thinking, but putting two girls in a same group is the best" -he explained shortly. When everybody made silence he returned to look the list.

-"Finally, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruko Uzumaki and Shikamaru Nara will be together on Team 7" -Naruko looked at her new team, Shikamaru was yawning bored with the scene and Sasuke continued to watch the nothing. She pulled her look from them resigned.

-"Hum! he's late!, well then, he will have a punishment!" -she exclaimed smiling. Shikamaru shook his head in disagreement with her actions and Sasuke did nothing, he only watched the nothing as always.

-"How troublesome, why don't you stop doing those things?" -the Nara asked yawning. Naruko looked at him angry as she finished setting the trap.

-"You're exactly as Naruto was, that little dobe did the same that..." -he couldn't continue. In a moment, the girl was grabbing his shirt with great strenght and their faces were close to each other.

-"Say anything about Naruto and I'll kill you Uchiha-teme" -she whispered angry. Sasuke looked at her without fear and with his usual expression on his face that made her angrier- "TEME!" -Naruko shouted hitting his face with her fist. The Uchiha falled on the ground and then he vanished in a cloud of smoke leaving a wood behind.

-"You're fast. But still, a little blond girl wouldn't defeat me" -he indicated smiling but, instead of making Naruko angrier, she smiled too as she adjusted her band.

-"We'll see, c'mon!" -she said as his smile disappeared.

-"I won't say anything, but I hope this doesn't cause me problems" -Shikamaru thought worried. All of that vanished when a sound coming out of the door stopped Naruko and Sasuke for fighting. Well, maybe Sasuke but not Naruko.

-"Focus on your rival!" -she shouted running to him. The Uchiha looked at her startled but it was too late, she was on him.

The jounin entered the class room, looking first to his left side to found Shikamaru yawning and then to the front.

-"I'm interrupting some kind of romance?" -he asked curiosly, Naruko shook her head and then she looked at Sasuke who was blushed down her. Then, they immediately stood up and looked in different directions.

The girl had long blond hair with two tails on each side of her head, small catlike whiskers on his cheeks and blue eyes. She was wearing an orange and blue skirt with an orange and blue sweatshirt with white coat and high collar and spiral to her sides. Her protector had the logo of Konohagakure on the forehead. Her right leg had tied a bag with guns, and some blue sandals. Her legs were covered by two long black stockings.

The Uchiha was a fair-skinned ninja who had onyx eyes and black chin-length hair. His hair was spiky in the back with bangs hunging above his eyes. Sasuke's clothing consisted of the traditional Uchiha clothing: a navy blue, short-sleeved shirt with a high collar and the Uchiha crest on the back and white arm warmers.

Finally Shikamaru had shoulder length dark brown hair tied in a spiky ponytail, narrow brown eyes. His attire was rather plain, consisting of a green lined mesh T-shirt under a short sleeved grey jacket with green edges, adorned on both the sleeves and the back with a circle with a line through it, his blue forehead protector worn around his left arm, brown pants, and blue sandals.

-"Wait!, how did you...?" -Shikamaru shook his head behind the jounin. The Uzumaki understood that Shikamaru prevented Kakashi for falling in her trap.

-"Something to ask me?" -Kakashi asked but he got no answer. The jounin sighed resigned: that team seemed to be problematic.

-"Why don't you introduce yourselves first?"

-"And... how? -Naruko asked someway confused.

-"Well, begin with your names. Then name the things that you like and what you don't, your dreams for the future, hobbies and things like that" -Kakashi looked at his students to see what reaction they would have. Unfortunately they watched his face with confusion- "okay, i'm Kakashi Hatake" -he said closing his eyes and sighing- "i don't wish to say what I like and what i not" -Shikamaru and Naruto seemed surprised with his reaction- "About my dreams... i have many. Now's your turn" -he concluded ponting to the girl.

-"But, you didn't say your..."

-"I said: it's your turn" -Naruko startled herself for Kakashi's answer, but she decided to not complain.

-"Everyone knows me as Naruko Uzumaki and i really like the Ichiraku's Ramen!" -Shikamaru yawned again, finding boring her explanation- "i love to train ninjutsu and taijutsu to be the best Kunoichi ever but i don't like when it's time to go home because i'm alone" -Sasuke's eyebrow rose, showing himself more interested in the matter- "and my dream for the future is... fullfil the dream of my brother and became a Hokage" -both Kakashi and Shikamaru looked at her sadly, they knew the story of Naruto Uzumaki.

Sasuke's body filled with anger, the mention of Naruko's dead twin remembered him that Itachi was still alive.

-"Next" -Kakashi ordered. Nara looked at Sasuke who doesn't showed no signs and then he sighed.

-"I'm Shikamaru Nara and I like the mackerel and the seaweed" -Hatake nodded as he listened to him- "my favorite thing to do is watch the clouds all the day, but i don't like when i have to train or study" -Naruko looked at him noting that his life was very boring- "i dream with getting married and get two kids, one girl and one boy and retiring from being ninja to play Shogi the rest of my days" -he concluded and then he lay down on the ground to see the clouds.

-"My name... is Sasuke Uchiha. There are few things that I like and there are many that I hate" -Naruko observed him as he revealed something of his life, Kakashi was listening too but without any interest on it- "My dream... no, my objective is restore my clan and kill someone in specific"

-"Itachi" -Naruko thought, guessing that he wanted revenge for what happened that night.

-"Okay then, everyone of you is special and have different abilities" -Shikamaru stood up and his new companions follow him as well Kakashi did too- "Tomorrow we'll begin our training" -he announced walking away of them- "Ah, don't eat or you're gonna puke your breakfast" -Hatake began to laugh with that comment as Naruko and her new companions looked at each other confused.

-"Teamwork?" -Shikamaru nodded.

-"Is the most logical, it has no point competing for two bells. Kakashi-sensei wants us to fight among ourselves to break the team and send the three of us back to the Academy. Yeah, this jounin is smart..." -Naruko smiled at him: he may be a lazy guy, but he was brilliant. Sasuke sighed resignated to his logic.

-"What do you have planned?" -the Uchiha asked pulling out his kunai.

In the field, Kakashi was reading his erotic book quietly. Although he was someway surprised that the blond girl and the Uchiha didn't attacked him. He moved away his face from the book and he looked everywhere.

-"At least they hide themselves very well. I wonder if..." -he suddenly listened the sound of a kunai approaching him. Kakashi dodged it in the last moment as he turned around to see Sasuke on a tree.

-"Good try, but you'll never hit me"

-"I wouldn't be so sure!" -a voice behind him startled Kakashi. He turned around the fast he could to block a dangerous attack.

-"She's strong, I guess I can't continue my reading" -he thought saving his book on his bag with his free hand. Naruko smiled trying to hit Kakashi with her other fist but he blocked her attack again- "Nice taijutsu, it's at the level of a Chunnin. Still..."

-"You forgot the code of a ninja: you should never take your eyes off your enemy!" -Sasuke ran at him startling Kakashi, he didn't forgot that the Uchiha was on the tree but Naruko forced him to concentrate on her.

The jounin pushed her sharply in time to stop Sasuke's taijutsu. But Naruko ran again to him and both gennins attacked Kakashi with great speed preventing him to defend himself.

-"Back... off!" -Kakashi shouted sending them away with a single move.

-"Sasuke now!" -the girl said and she and the Uchiha began to form seals for one powerful ninjutsu.

Kakashi looked at them as he made seals too but he wasn't fast enough.

-"Katon, goukakyuu no jutsu!*" -they screamed at the same time breathing deeply.

*Fire release: Great fireball.

Putting their fingers like a circle around their mouths they expelled a great ball of fire to the jounin. After a few minutes the jutsu vanished, leaving a small zone of burned grass.

-"Impressive!, You almost got me!..." -he exclaimed laughing under his mask. Naruko and Sasuke smiled when they saw that Kakashi was on the air making some seals.

-"I think it's my turn now... Kamenage no jutsu!**" -he thought and a shadow line emerged from his feets and ran the grass to the area where Kakashi would fall.

**Shadow Imitation Technique.

Kakashi landed on the ground as he was making the finals seals.

-"...but now it's too late, i would...!" -he stopped talking as he noticed that his own body couldn't move- "What the...?" -his body turned around by itself and then it walked in the opposite direction than the two gennins.

-"Sorry Kakashi-sensei, looks that you fell in our trap" -Shikamaru emerged from the forest and he walked to Hatake as he was forced to walk too- "Naruko!, Sasuke!" -they nodded and the girl approached fast to Kakashi's back.

When she could, she grabbed the two bells victorious.

-"Excellent job, you're the best team that i ever have" -Kakashi said smiling as Shikamaru undid his jutsu. The jounin looked at his three students with proud.

-"So?" -Naruko asked while Sasuke and Shikamaru walked to her side. Hatake sighed, he have to recognize their efforts.

-"You're approved!" -he indicated with a mask-smile. The Uzumaki and the Nara boy smiled happy, Sasuke whispered a "hum" as his face had a little smile- "and for celebrate, we could go to Ichiraku" -Naruko's happiness couldn't be less.

-"Yeah! you're the best sensei!"

-"Wow, i love miso-ramen" -she whispered eating the food with pleasure. Teuchi, the owner of the place, nodded happy as he was cooking more.

-"I have to admit, the Ichiraku ramen is very good" -Shikamaru said eating more slowly his bowl- "is a pity that Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke aren't here to enjoy it..."

-"Sure" -Naruko answered unconvinced. The Nara sighed.

-"But is better this way. I need to ask you something"

-"What is it?" -she smiled waiting for her next bowl. Shikamaru blushed himself for a moment.

-"Ah!, hum, why you do mischiefs?" -her smile was lost in a second. She even didn't eat the new bowl. Although, her face adopted a sad expression.

-"When we were younger, Naruto and I loved doing those things. But after that he died, and it wasn't the same without him..." -Shikamaru began to understand her actions- "making mischief, I thought I'd skip it and i would remember the happy times. But now I realize how wrong I was"

-"I'm sorry Naruko. I didn't have to ask you..." -She shook her head in disagreement and then Naruko smiled at him.

-"It's okay, it's been two years now" -Naruko looked at the bowl without hunger, the matter of her twin took away her appetite.

Shikamaru regretted his words, he didn't have to ruin her happiness with that stupid question. Maybe everybody said that he was brilliant but he was so fool.

-"Naruko..." -Teuchi whispered as he remembered the face of the hiperactive blond boy- "i'll pay today, don't worry. You and your friend can eat all the food that..." -Naruko stood up and Shikamaru did too. He looked at her with a little surprise on his face.

-"Thanks Teuchi-san" -the girl said sadly and then she exited the place with Shikamaru following her.

-"Hey! Naruko! don't go!"

The Uzumaki walked to the way that came out of the village. Then she sat on the bench as the Nara sat too.

-"Why he had to die Shikamaru?" -her question surprised him. He was going to answer her but then he saw a lot of tears falling down her face- "I miss him so much" -the girl leaned her head on his chest as she was crying. The boy stroked her hair gently.

-"I always thought that Naruto was problematic. But that day, i recognized that i was wrong. Everyone of us was wrong with Naruto" -he confessed. Naruko's body trembled slightly from crying- "He wasn't an idiot or a monster like Sakura or Ino said. No, he was a hero"

The wind blew gently as the sun was setting on the horizon. Shikamaru looked at the clouds without interest on them. For one time in his life he was doing the right thing: helping a friend.

He walked through the entrance as many times before, passing through the line. Then he toured the neighbourhood in direction to his house.

When he reached it, he passed the door and he began to walk in direction to his parent's bedroom. He didn't stop, he needed to do that without wasting time.

-"Empty as usual" -he thought as he gave a quick look at the room. He searched it before so it doesn't worth the effort.

He walked away from there as he directed himself to the kitchen. There was where he needed to go.

The boy reached the place and he began to search in all directions for something that would gave him a clue of Itachi's path.

Suddenly he thought about Naruko's decision. Her brother died in hands of Itachi but she didn't want revenge. Why?, Sasuke knowed that his brother was a monster but she... He shoked his head, he didn't have to worry for that stupid matter. The Uchiha continued his searching now with more effort.

After a few minutes of useless searching he stopped himself. Then, he hit the wall with anger turning around to get away from that place.

Some noise stopped him, he turned around to see that a note fell down from the table. He took it interested in what it said.

Sasuke-kun:

I heard from Itachi that you like a girl. So I invited her to lunch tomorrow, get dressed and well prepared. After this you must give thanks to your brother.

With Love, Mom.

P.D: there's food in the cupboard. I think it will stay warm until you arrive from the Academy.

He pressed the against his chest. His heart was filled with sadness as his eyes filled with tears.

Her mother had been so good and innocent, even a few moments before she died.

-"Itachi... you'll pay for this"
