Uzumaki Naruto was a survivor. It had been so since he had been kicked out of an orphanage at age three. He had lived off dumpsters and charity from the nice ramen stand owners for a week until the Hokage found him. The fact that he no longer had to scrounge for food did not stop the survival habits that formed in that week.
As Naruto had grown he had come to greatly appreciate those habits, going so far as to refine them for his social life. His bright and cheery act grated on even his nerves but it was extremely helpful. The way he saw it, if they didn't know you'd take them seriously then you had the drop on them. He couldn't wait for people's faces when he flipped attitudes.
He had already had a good laugh at Iruka's face when he flawlessly pulled off the Clone jutsu. The poor instructor had nearly fell out of his chair. Naruto paused to wonder at his next instructor. Kakashi Hatake was a known quantity to those who cared to listen to the conversations of ninja. And Naruto listened well. One of his many habits.
Best to settle down. This could take awhile.
"I would get comfortable."
The calm tone tone took Sakura for a loop. She had always known Naruto to be exploding with cheeriness. The complete absence of said cheer was rather shocking.
"When did you become so...Chill?" Sakura asked the now reclining blond.
"Since the facade became useless." came the dry response.
"What faca-" Sakura was cut off by the abrupt opening of the door.
"Figured I'd be only twenty minutes late to my new team."The man, presumably Hatake drawled.
He glanced over them. "How...Unnoticeable" The Jounin frowned "Meet me on the roof"
A swirl of wind left The newly minted Genin to scramble after their new teacher.
He Hadn't been late. That was his little joke. He always came out two hours late but he was always there on time. Only reason he'd come out of the shadow early this time was because the genin hopefuls had broken the predictions of their folder evaluations.
He had felt the need to intervene before the hopefuls found out something they weren't supposed to. No need to remove masks if they weren't an official team yet.
As the hopefuls arrived via various means, stairs, walls, and curiously vents he began his introduction ritual.
"Alright little Brats time for introductions. Dark and broody, you first."
A rather disturbing list later he was seriously consider hiring help for the Uchiha. Nevertheless he plowed on.
"Pink and puny, your go"
After an outraged glare the pinkette began.
It was a rather embarrassing affair that ended interesting.
"...And as for dislikes, Naruto-Baka! He's such a dead last!"
The 'Dead Last' didn't wait for his cue.
"Uzumaki Naruto, likes? Getting the drop on people. Dislikes? Surprises. Hobbies? Gardening. And Dreams?"here He let out a dark chuckle.
"Being Dead, last"
FIN
I skipped Sasuke's little monologue cause it's over done. I hate it. Worst part of introductions
Sakura's is worse but useful for this situation. It's better when people change it but it gets stale after awhile.
Bit quick and the dialogue is wooden but it's getting better. Slowly
Got the idea from The Orange Fire Shadow by Orange Kage there's a bit in there that makes me want to write everytime. The connotations of it are endless.
Review if you get it. Review if you don't. PM if you can't let it drop and can't figure out
