Terror.

That is all three year old Uzumaki Naruto felt at the moment He was extremely terrified. Terrified for his safety and terrified for his life. Why was he terrified for his life you ask? It was because he was being chased by mob of bloodthirsty villagers. Why was being chased you ask? It was because he was the container of the Kyuubi no Kitsune.

The Kyuubi attacked October Tenth, the day Naruto was born and Konohagakure, Naruto's home village, was saved by the Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Minato, who was the one to seal Kyuubi into Naruto. He died afterward, but his dying wish was that Naruto be treated as a hero. His wish was forgotten as Naruto was beaten, abused, and hated all his life. The Sandaime Hokage, who came out of retirement after Minato's death protected Naruto to the best of his ability. He even came to see Naruto as a surrogate grandson, and vise-versa. He tried with all his might to protect him but he could not stop glares and words.

Some ignorant and drunken villagers went so far as to beat him. He received the worst beatings the day the village celebrated the yearly festival, honoring Yondaime's sacrifice and Kyuubi's defeat. Those beatings always left him on the brink of death and hospitalized for several weeks, but thanks to the Kyuubi healing his wounds he survived. He never went to those festivals ever again, he just stayed in his apartment, that the Hokage provided, and celebrated a solitary birthday.

As Naruto ran for his life he could not help but turn around to see the mob closing in on him. He then turned a corner to come face to face with an alley. He knew he was trapped and turned around to see the mob crowding the alleyway smiling evilly. The first person stepped forward. He was a ninja and he was armed with a standard katana. He watched as the shinobi brought his arm back, ready to strike. Naruto didn't know what to do so he curled into a ball and started to sob uncontrollably as he braced himself for the final strike. It never came, though. Opening his eyes he saw a man wearing a black hakama with a blue haori tied together with a red obi sash. He also had a katana strapped to his side.

"Why are you people attacking this innocent child," the mysterious person said. "That is no child! That thing is a monster!" a villager said, saying the word "thing" venomously. "No, the only monsters I see are the ones before me. What kind of people are you?" The mysterious person asked anger etched upon his features. "We are the kind of people that hate the Kyuubi," he said pointing at Naruto, "For killing our families." "That may be true. Kyuubi did kill your families, but he is just an innocent child." The mysterious person said once more.

"Well, if that is the way you feel. You can die along with him." A shinobi said rushing forward, intent on killing. Naruto closed his eyes once again only to hear the sound of metal clashing. Opening his eyes again he saw the mysterious person, katana drawn. The shinobi jumped back and prepared to rush forward again, but he was interrupted by the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi, and his personal Anbu.

"What is the meaning of this atrocity?" The Sandaime said anger upon his face. "We were trying to finally get rid of the demon brat." The shinobi said the villagers cheering behind him. "Very Well Inu, Take them all to Ibiki." "Yes Sir." said the Anbu squad leader. After the villagers and the shinobi were rounded up Sandaime turned to the mysterious person that had saved Naruto. "If you would please tell me you name and come with me." He said. "My name is Reimei Kumori, Hokage-sama." He told him.

When Naruto woke up, he was inside a sewer with ankle-deep water. 'Where am I?' He thought sloshing around in the water. "Come closer." A mysterious voice called. "Where did that come from?" He thought out loud. Following the voice, Naruto soon came to a room with a immense jail cell with the kanji for seal across the lock. "Come closer." He heard the voice again from behind the bars.

Without knowing why, Naruto began to walk forward until he was standing arms-length away from the cage. He found himself gazing into the vast darkness searching for the cause of the voice until he was startled by the sudden appearance of glowering, red eyes. He stumbled back in surprise, tripping over his feet. Naruto stared in fear and awe up at the pair of red eyes. "Who are you?" Naruto asked in surprise. Fear and awe struck Naruto again as two rows of teeth appeared. "I am the omnipotent deity christened by humans as Kyuubi no Kitsune. I was positioned here by the Yondaime Hokage the day you came into parturition. "What?" Naruto asked dumbfounded. 'That's right he's only three years old.' The fox thought to himself. "I am the mighty demon that humans named Kyuubi no Kitsune. I was place here by the Yondaime Hokage the day you were born.

"Oh Okay, that makes more sense," Naruto said. "So is that why they hate me." He said in a small voice. "I'm afraid so, kit." The fox said truly feeling bad for the child. "Well you not as evil as they make you out to be. In fact, you're sort of pleasant." He said to the fox. If Naruto could see the fox's face, He would have a blush upon its face. "Well thank you, kit." The fox responded to him. "Kyuubi-san…er…Kyuubi-sama, Why did you attack Konoha." Naruto asked curious. "That is a story for another day," Kyuubi said, "but for now the reason I called you here." Kyuubi paused for a moment, giant red eyes closed. "Right now we are in your mind. Time passes slower here than it does on the outside." Kyuubi said letting it sink in. "Wait. This sewer is my mind." Naruto said in disgust. "Yes, I'll tell you how to change it later. As I was saying this is indeed you mind and time passes slower here. We are going to use this to your advantage." Kyuubi said smirking.

"How are we going to do that?" Naruto asked in surprise. "I am going to train you." Kyuubi said still smirking. "What! You, the millennia old demon is going to train me, the hated and supposed "demon" of Konoha." Naruto said not believing it. "Yes I am because I feel responsible for all the hatred you receive and… if you die, I die and I really don't want to die," Kyuubi said, "You're training begins tomorrow." That was all before Naruto blacked out.

Naruto awoke to the sight of white and the smell of sickness and disease. 'Ugh, the hospital.' Naruto thought to himself. "Ah Naruto-kun, glad to see you're awake." A voice said from the doorway. Naruto turned to see one of the few people he trusted, the Sandaime, Sarutobi. "Ojii-San," Naruto exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" "Well Naruto I heard what happened so naturally I came to see you." Sarutobi said. Naruto's face fell at that. "What's wrong Naruto?" Sandaime asked in concern. "I found out why the villagers hate me?" Naruto said dejectedly.

"What! How! Who told you?" Sarutobi exclaimed in anger. "Kyuubi told me. He's not as evil as everyone makes him out to be. He even promised to train me." Naruto explained. "Okay explain everything to me"

After explaining everything to the Sandaime, the door opened to reveal the mysterious person that had saved Naruto. "How is he Hokage-sama." He asked. "He is doing fine. Naruto, this is the one that saved you, Reimei Kumori." Sandaime said gesturing to the stranger. "How are you feeling Naruto-san?" Kumori asked. "I'm okay." Naruto said. "Hokage-sama, May I speak to you in private?" Kumori asked.

When the door closed, Kumori turned to the Hokage. "Hokage-sama, How often does this happen?" he asked. "This his fourth time in the hospital this month." The Sandaime responded.

Kumori recoiled in shock, and said, "F-fourth time this month." Kumori repeated. Watching the Hokage nod confirming what he just said. Kumori couldn't help but sympathize with Naruto. He couldn't adopt him. He moved around to much and never stayed in one place for long. "Well Hokage-sama, then I ask for your permission to train young Naruto."

The Hokage was surprised at this but then responded, "Hmm, the training might better help him defend himself against the villagers. 'He is also going to be training with the Kyuubi. Naruto you may be a fine shinobi one day.' He thought to himself. "Very well, you have my permission to train Naruto." With that being said the two turned and opened the door to see Naruto staring out the window.

Hearing the door open, Naruto turned to see the two enter the room again. "So Naruto-kun, what do you want to be when you grow up." The Sandaime asked him. Naruto thought this over before responding, "I want to be Hokage!" He exclaimed. This shocked both adults and it was silent until Sandaime managed to speak. "Why would you want to be Hokage of a village that hates you?"

"I want to be Hokage so I can prove that I'm not a monster and that I can be trusted with their safety." Naruto explained to the two. "Well Naruto-kun, if you want to be Hokage you have to become a shinobi first." Sandaime told the three year old. "How do I become a shinobi Jii-San?" Naruto questioned his grandfather figure. "To become a shinobi, you must graduate from the Ninja Academy and start of as a beginner ninja, a Genin and climb the ninja ranks to the top and Kumori-san is going to help. He's going to train you." Sarutobi told him.

Naruto looked to the adult and beamed with joy. "You're going to train me." Naruto said in joy. "Yes, I am train you Naruto-san." Kumori responded with a grin. "When do we start training?" Naruto asked. "You're training begins tomorrow. So go home and get some rest and report to the training fields tomorrow." Kumori said. With that Naruto rushed home to prepare for the beginning of his shinobi training. He couldn't wait for tomorrow.

Two Years Later

It had been two years since, the now five year old Uzumaki Naruto, had met Reimei Kumori. His training had been going well; he had learned many things from Kumori. He had also learned many things from Kyuubi. She was a very good teacher. Naruto still remembered the day he found out the demon was actually a female.

Flashback

Naruto had been training with Kumori for about a year now and each and every day had been hard. After training with Kumori, Naruto was immediately pulled into his mind for training with Kyuubi. One day after his training with Kumori, he was pulled into his mind to see a beautiful female with red hair, luscious curves, cherry lips, and an equally beautiful kimono with roses and cherry blossoms adorned on it.

"Who are you?!" Naruto asked pulling out a kunai. "It's me Naruto-kun. This is my human form." The woman said her voice smooth as silk. It took a moment for Naruto to process this. "K-k-kyuubi, is that you." He asked. "Yes it is. Is it so hard to believe that a demon can be female?" She asked. It was then that Naruto noticed the fox ears atop her head and the nine swaying tails. "No it's just that you're beautiful!" Naruto blurted out. "Thank you Naruto-kun." The femme fatale demon said with a blush.

"Now today you are going to train your ass off." Kyuubi said with a sickeningly sweet smile. Naruto suddenly turned white as Orochimaru. 'Oh crap' Naruto thought to himself as Kyuubi rushed forward. 'This is gonna hurt.' he thought before preparing for the worst beating of his life.

Flashback End

So now as Naruto walked to the park to enjoy his seldom given days of. He noticed a girl about his age sitting on the swings. 'She looks lonely, maybe she needs a friend.' Naruto thought to himself. Walking over and stopping in front of her, Naruto waited until she looked up and he was surprised at her eyes. 'Her eyes are completely white. Is she blind, maybe?' Naruto thought to himself feeling a wave of pity for the girl. 'She's not blind; she's a Hyuuga, the possessors of the Byakugan." Kyuubi told him from inside his mind. 'Oh okay then, I'll introduce myself.' Naruto thought back. "Hi, I'm Uzumaki Naruto. What's your name?" He asked holding out his hand.

"I'm H-hyuuga Hi-hinata. I-it's n-n-nice t-to meet you." Hinata responded. "Aww, that's so cute she's shy." Kyuubi said from Naruto's mind. "Well then, Hinata-chan. Do you want to be friends?" Naruto asked grinning ironically like a fox. Hinata felt a sudden heat rush to her cheeks. She then realized she was blushing. Pushing the blush back, she gently grasped his out held hand and shook it. "I would love to be your friend, Naruto-kun." She said. 'My first friend' The two thought simultaneously. "Come on, Hinata-chan," he said grabbing her hand, "let's play on the slide."

The two new friends played until the sun was low, they were so preoccupied playing they didn't realize the time until they saw a woman coming towards them. "Hinata-chan, it's time to go," she said, then she noticed Naruto, "Oh, hello. You're Uzumaki Naruto aren't you." She said to Naruto. "Yes I am, ma'am but I don't believe I know your name." Naruto responded politely. "My name is Hyuuga Hisaki. Were you and my Hinata-chan having fun" She asked the child.

"Yes ma'am, Hinata-chan is my first friend. Could she come and play tomorrow as well?" He asked his eyes hopeful. The villagers are fools if they think this sweet, innocent boy is the Kyuubi.' She thought to herself before smiling.

"Of course she can, Naruto-kun," Hisaki said smiling. "But for now we have to leave. We will see you tomorrow." "Bye Hinata-chan, see you tomorrow." Naruto said to the indigo haired girl.

"G-goodbye, N-naruto-kun, see you tomorrow." The girl said blushing. If one came to the park the next day, they would see the Hyuuga heiress and the supposed "demon" playing and enjoying each others company under the surveillance of Hisaki and Kumori.

Seven Years Later

Twelve year old Uzumaki Naruto was currently weaving through the streets in a mad dash to the Ninja Academy. He couldn't be late this time; his ramen was on the line. He turned another corner he was only a few blocks away now. He checked his watch, he only had thirty seconds left. With a burst of speed he covered the next few blocks in twenty five seconds. With five seconds left, Naruto ran as fast as his legs could carry him.

Five…

He reached the entrance of the Academy.

Four…

He reached the first floor of the Academy.

Three…

He reached the second floor of the Academy. Only a little more to go.

Two…

Left turn, another left turn, right turn.

One…

"I made it!" Naruto screamed bursting into the classroom. Everyone turned to see him panting like he had run a marathon. "Yes, very good Naruto. You made it one time I see," Said his sensei Iruka, "Now if you would be so kind to…Take Your Seat!" He screamed the last part. "Yes Iruka-sensei." He said hurriedly rushing to his seat next to his best friend of seven years, Hyuuga Hinata.

Hinata had changed from the cute, shy, little girl she had once been. She was now a beautiful young woman. She no longer fainted when she got close to Naruto, a habit she picked up on day when they were seven. Although she still stuttered and blushed near Naruto every once in awhile, which confused Naruto to no end. Hinata's attire consisted of a light, thin, purple and lavender jacket that matched her eyes. She wore a pair of midnight blue capri that matched her hair. Naruto's attire had changed as well. He now wore a blue sleeveless jacket with a black undershirt with black ninja style pants and standard blue zori.

So Hinata-chan, what did I miss." Naruto asked his best friend. "Nothing much, sensei was just about to call role." She told him. After calling role, Iruka stood in front of his class before clearing his throat. "As you all know the Genin exams are tomorrow. So to prepare you for the exam, we will be doing a review over the Henge no Jutsu." Silencing the chorus of groans with a raise of his hand, Iruka grabbed a clipboard from his desk and began calling his students up one by one.

"Haruno Sakura." He called watching the pink haired fan girl step forward, call out the name of her jutsu, then there was a poof of smoke, and in Sakura's place was an exact copy of him. "Cha! Did you see that, Sasuke-kun?!" Said her inner personality, Inner Sakura.

"Uchiha Sasuke." He called watching the raven-haired boy bent on revenge, step forward, and just like Sakura before him, call out the name of his jutsu and, another poof of smoke and in his place was an exact copy of him. "Hmph." Was the only sound the Uchiha made before taking his spot in line.

"Uzumaki Naruto." Iruka called suppressing a grin at his surrogate brother's name. "Good luck, Naruto-kun." Hinata said to him. "Thanks, Hinata-chan." He responded before stepping forward and calling out his technique.

When the smoke cleared this time however, there was no exact copy of Iruka, but instead there was a very nude blonde girl with pigtails standing in Naruto's place smoke barely covering her assets and lower area. Iruka stared in shock before rocketing backwards due to the stream of blood gushing from his nose. Undoing the jutsu, Naruto stood there, laughing and pointing towards Iruka. "Hahaha, I can't believe you fell for that." Naruto said. Suddenly, Iruka was back on his feet yelling at Naruto, "Cut the tricks! This is your last warning!"

The day was over soon enough and the class was dismissed. "Hey Hinata-chan," Naruto said running up behind her and wrapping his arms around her neck causing her to turn tomato red. "Want to head over to Ichiraku?" He said grinning like a fox. "S-sure N-n-Naruto-kun, let's go." Hinata said fighting down her blush.

When the two arrived at Ichiraku, Naruto sat down first and called loudly, "One miso ramen, please, Ayame-nee-chan." The owner's daughter, Ayame came smiled. "Sure thing, coming right up, Naruto." While she was cooking the ramen, the owner, Teuchi, came from the back. "Hello Naruto, here on a date with your girlfriend." Teuchi said teasingly. He watched in amusement as a blush lit both their faces. "No, Teuchi; Hinata-chan and I are just friends." Naruto said blushing a bit at the end. "Well that's okay." Ayame said, going back to cooking the ramen.

'Is that all I am to him a friend. He doesn't have feelings for me. Even if it's is true, I will still tell him how I feel one day.' Hinata resolved silently. After finishing their meals, Naruto offered to walk Hinata home. When she agreed they began the walk to the Hyuuga manor. The walk seemed too short for Hinata, because before she knew it she was home. "Night, Hinata-chan." Naruto said. "Goodnight, Naruto-kun." Hinata said. Before she could turn around and enter her house Naruto leaned down and pecked her on the cheek. "Night, Hinata-chan." He said with a blush on his face. With that he turned and disappeared into the trees.

'He kissed me. If I die tonight I will die happy.' She thought to herself. She then danced into her home all the way to her room. When she snuggled into her bed and drifted off to sleep. She still had a grin plastered on her face.

The Next Day

Iruka's class was buzzing with excited conversation. When he finally walked in he went to the front of the room. Smiling as he looked to his students, he saw many of them going far in their ninja career and his chest couldn't but help but feel proud, he had brought them as far as he could, it was up to them now.

"Now as you know," Iruka started looking over his students, "Today is the day of the Genin Exams. When your name is called, please go through the door and down the hall." He said. Then Iruka began to call the names in alphabetic order. Naruto wished Hinata luck when it was her turn, and gave his compliments when she came back her hitai-ate around her neck.

When it was Sasuke's turn, he walked toward Naruto. "Uzumaki." He said simply with a sneer. Naruto just looked up at him and responded just as simply. "Uchiha." There was a moment of tense silence, and then Sasuke smirked and continued on. When he returned with his hitai-ate around his forehead. "Ten bunshins, dobe . Think you can beat it." the Uchiha said stopping at Naruto seat as Iruka called his name. "Watch and learn, teme." Naruto said standing and walking into the next room.

When he arrived in the next room he saw Iruka and his assistant, Mizuki. "Okay Naruto, if you would be so kind as to perform a Kawarimi." Iruka told him. Naruto then performed the hand seals, and in a poof of smoke he was replaced with Mizuk. Looking to where Mizuki was before Iruka saw Naruto smirking at him with his feet propped up on his desk.

"A Henge next, please," Iruka said after Naruto took his place in front of the desk. "No, Oiroke No Jutsu." he said seeing the mischievous twinkle in Naruto's eyes. With a pout Naruto did as he was told and simply transformed into the Yondaime.

"Now, make at least three bunshins." Iruka said silently wishing his surrogate brother luck. "Does it have to be a specific kind of bunshin?" Naruto asked. "No, any kind of bunshin will be accepted." Iruka said not knowing where this was going.

Naruto then place his hands into a cross-shape hand seal and called out, "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu." Then the room was filled with Narutos. "Well, Kage Bunshins. Exceptional, Naruto, You pass." Iruka said handing him his hitai-ate. Naruto then tied it around his forehead and walked back into the other room.

Entering the classroom, Naruto walked towards Sasuke. He stopped in front of Sasuke and told him, "Thirty bunshins, teme." With that he took his seat next to Hinata, but could not help but smirk at all of the dumbfounded expressions.

When Iruka had dismissed class, Naruto offered to walk Hinata home, and Hinata being shy could not turn down such a gracious offer. The walk was silent until, they reached the Hyuuga manor. "Well Hinata-chan, I'll see you tomorrow." Naruto said. "Okay, Naruto-kun, see you in the morning." Hinata said walking into her home. She did not fully close the door until she saw Naruto jump into the trees.

After dropping Hinata off, Naruto was heading to his own humble abode until he saw something in the corner of his eye. 'That looked like Mizuki-sensei. What was he carrying.' Naruto thought to himself. "Naruto, go after him! That was the Forbidden Scroll! It has all of the village's jutsu, and some created by Sarutobi and the Hokages before him!"Kyuubi told him. That was all the incentive he needed before going after Mizuki.

When he caught up to Mizuki, he seemed to be having a moment to congratulate himself on a successful mission. Naruto sweatdropped at the sheer stupidity of this, but he snuck up behind Mizuki and successfully knocked him out, and tied him up, nevertheless. 'Time to return this or...,' He thought taking the scroll in his hands. 'I could learn some new jutsu,'He thought grinning like a maniac.

Opening the scroll, the first jutsu he saw was the Kage Bunshin.'Ironic,isn't it, Kyuubi.'Naruto said to the demon. "Yes it is, Naruto. Now get a scroll and copy these jutsu." Kyuubi told him as he took out a scroll he did just as she told him. After copying a dozen or more jutsu, He noticed Mizuki starting to stir.

Opening his eyes, Mizuki saw Naruto staring him down. When he tried to move he noticed he was bound by rope. "You little gaki, untie me this instant." Mizuki screamed glaring at Naruto. "Why should I. You were trying to steal the forbidden scroll." Naruto said glaring back.

Realizing he had been caught, Mizuki decided to see if he could lie his way out of his situation. "No, you have it all wrong. You see, Hokage-sama asked me to transport the scroll. So you can untie me now." He lied. "Ohhh, I see," Naruto said. 'Idiot' Mizuki thought. "That has got to be the biggest load I've ever heard. The transportation of the Forbidden Scroll is only trusted to Jonin level shinobi or higher. Now, go back to sleep" Naruto said knocking Mizuki out again.

When he finished copying the jutsu, he re-wrapped the scroll just in time for Iruka to land in the clearing. "Naruto, I finally found you," Iruka said, "Huh, why is Mizuki unconscious?" He said noticing Mizuki's prone figure. "He was the one who stole the Forbidden Scroll. So I knocked him out." Naruto told him. "Oh, okay," Iruka said grabbing Mizuki. "Come on." He said launching into the trees toward the Hokage Tower.

When they reached the Hokage's office, they were immediately let in. The Hokage, Sarutobi Hizuren sat behind his desk, his many years of Hokage evident. "Hello Naruto, Iruka," he said taking a drag from his pipe, "Oh, and the traitor Mizuki." he said eyes landing on Mizuki. "Oh I see, you already know then," Iruka said not knowing what else to say, "I'll just excuse myself then," He said dropping Mizuki onto the floor rather roughly, "Remember Naruto, you receive your team assignments tomorrow. Do not be late!" Iruka said before exiting the Hokage's office leaving Naruto and the Hokage alone.

"Well I presume you already know what happened," Naruto asked, seeing the Hokage nod he continued, "Well I'm going to go home myself. Good Night Sarutobi-jiji." Naruto said exiting his surrogate grandfather's office.

When he arrived home he found a note from his sensei and roommate, Kumori attached to his door. It read:

Dear Naruto,

It is time for me to resume my wandering status.

By time you read this note I will be long gone.

I have left you plenty of jutsu scrolls to practice.

This is goodbye, Naruto.

Sincerely, Kumori

Unlocking the door to his now, empty turned his head and saw that Kumori indeed had left him several dozen scrolls to practice. Then suddenly the days events caught up with him and he felt exhausted. He managed to make it to his bed but, was asleep before his head hit the pillow.

The Next Day

Naruto awoke and went through his daily routine. When he suddenly realized...he had woken up early...for the first time...ever. Peering at his clock he realized that he had about an hour to kill so he decided to go for a walk.

After walking around the Konoha Park twice, Naruto decided that he had killed enough time and decided to head towards the Konoha Academy. Arriving inside the classroom, Naruto realized that he had actually beat everyone to the academy. He then took a seat and decided to wait. Along the course of waiting, Naruto fell asleep moments before Hinata entered into the classroom.

Looking around the classroom she realized that she wasn't the only one early. 'Aww, How cute, He's asleep.' Hinata said squealing to herself. Hinata snuck over to her seat beside him and decided to wait for her secret crush to awake.

When Naruto woke up he saw that the classroom was now buzzing with conversation. Lifting his head and stretching he saw that Hinata now occupied the seat next to him. "Hey Hinata-chan, how are you today?" Naruto said to his best friend.

A giggling Hinata then replied, "I'm doing fine, Naruto-kun. How was your nap?" "It was awesome, Hinata-chan. Especially since I got to wake up to you." Naruto said unintentionally flirting with his best friend. Blushing heavily she barely managed to murmur a quiet thanks.

When Iruka walked into the classroom he turned and took a once over his students then smiled and began a speech,"For those of you I have taught in the past, you know who I am. For those of you I have not, I am Iruka. I would like to congratulate all of you on passing this year's genin exam. Many of you achieved high marks on your finals and that made it difficult to create balanced teams. Because of this, the Hokage has requested that teams be formed with different tactical and strategic ideas in mind. I will read off the squads and your respective senseis will come for you after lunch." Naruto wasn't paying attention but, zoned in when heard his name being called.

"Team 7 under Hatake Kakashi; Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuuga Hinata, Uchiha Sasuke." Naruto performed a quick high-five with his best friend and sent a glace toward the Uchiha.

"Team 8 under Yuuhi Kurenai; Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, Haruno Sakura."

"Team 9 under Maito Gai is still in circulation from last year."

"Team 10 under Sarutobi Asuma; Akimichi Choji, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino."

After calling the rest of the teams, Hinata and Naruto decided to go for lunch. They tried to recruit Sasuke to go but being the pompous ass he is, rudely declined. When they came back from lunch. The two friends had overdid it and all the senseis had came and picked up their charges. So now Sasuke, Hinata, and Naruto, were the only ones waiting. Even Iruka was gone.

"Man, where is our sensei?" Naruto asked for the fifth time in the last hour. "Will you shut up, dobe." Sasuke asked irritated. "Bite me, teme." Naruto said. Before Sasuke could reply, the door opened, and a man with silver hair who looked to be in his mid-twenties walked in.

"Hmm, my first impression of you three...,"their enigma sensei said, "is that you're boring. Meet me on the roof." With that said their sensei disappeared.

When everyone had been situated on the roof the jonin began to speak.

"I am your sensei, Kakashi Hatake. Now why don't we go over introductions?" He said.

"Why don't you go first sensei?" Hinata said without stuttering.

"Fine, my name is Kakashi Hatake. I have many hobbies; I don't feel like telling you about my plans for the future, and my likes and dislikes are none of your concern." He said with a smile.

'The only thing we learned was his name.' the three genin thought simotaneously.

"Okay you first." He said pointing at Naruto.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like ramen, Hinata-chan, Iruka-sensei, and Sarutobi-jiji. I dislike those who think they're better than everyone else and those who judge others without getting to know them. My goal is to become the Hokage." Naruto said.

'Hmm, he's gonna be a handful.' Kakashi thought to him self . "You next Hyuuga." He said pointing to Hinata.

"My name is Hyuuga Hinata. I like flower pressing, Naruto-kun, and cinnamon buns,"She said getting a dreamy look at the thought of cinnamon buns, "I dislike bullies and power-hungry idiots. My goal is to be a kunoichi great as Tsunade-sama." Hinata finished with a small smile.

"You next Uchiha." He said.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I have no likes and many dislikes, one of which being those who don't know their place." He said looking at Naruto, and receiving a glare in return. "My dream is more of an ambition, I will kill a certain man." He said darkly.

'Whatever' Naruto thought, not caring about the Uchiha's ambition.

'He is still too focused on hatred and revenge.' Kakashi thought.

"Okay, meet me at the training field at eight o'clock tomorrow for a survival test, and don't eat breakfast or you'll puke." He said with a smile as he disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

After parting ways with Hinata, Naruto walked toward his apartment. When he unlocked his door, he made a bee-line straight for his bed, and like the previous night, he was asleep before his head hit the pillow.

Whoa, that felt good.

Please review.

Flare Hawk, signing out.

Oh and a little note.I took out Naruto's katana, he will get it now in the Forest of Death.

Hinata hasn't completely gotten over her shyness. I'm gonna have her stutter less and faint only when very embarrassed. Thanks.
