4 years after the fourth great shinobi war

Chapter one "When the bells toll"

It was a beautiful morning in the leaf village as four friends and a small dog made their way to the academy their names where Gin Inuzuka his partner Haku the dog , Shinbou Aburame, kasi Uzumaki and finally the girl of the group Kuro Yuri Nara.

"Hey shin what's up man" Gin asked his friend noticing he was quieter than normal, this caused the rest of the group to look at the boy hidden beneath his large blue hood "today we get assigned into our genin squads ... What if we aren't in each other's squad?" he asked in a whisper "Hey don't worry about it there's a chance you will be paired with at least one of us NO DOUBT!" Shouted Kasi pumping his fist, gin nodded his agreement "Kuro?" shin asked "I'm sorry boys but statistically we are the worse four in the class so we will be split evenly throughout the squads to ensure balance its standard practice" the girl said bitterly.

They all stood before the academy doors "well here goes nothing" gin shied "Arf arf" his little companion voiced from beside him " Yeah once more into the breach" said kasi getting nods from the others as they entered the building taking their first steps in their ninja career.

The four sat at the back of the class room in their normal seats as they awaited their teacher for the last time. The door opened and in strode their teacher and head master of the academy Iruka " good morning class I'm sorry I'm late" Iruka apologised to his students the room fell deadly silent "first of all I'd like to congratulate you all on passing your tests , now since the curriculum has been corrected the pass rate has shot up dramatically so to counter this the Hokage has decided to change the team numbers from this point on will be put into a group of four so with your jonin sensei you will make a full shinobi cell of five." Iruka explained glowing with pride at his achievement

"Now let me introduce the jonin who will be leading your squads please meet Shino Aburame, Ino Yamanaka, Temari Nara, Rock Lee, Choji Akimichi, Tobari Hyuga, Hana Inuzuka Sasuke Uchia And Naruto Uzumaki" at this the room erupted into chaos Naruto and Sasuke where living legends of the leaf and two members of the sanin.

"SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!" Iruka shouted using big head no jutsu causing all the students plus Naruto to flinch and sit down and shut up " good now team one consists of gin ,kasi, Shin and Kuro Yuri now as you four are bottom of the class you're going to someone who knows what it's like to be dead last" this caused all the kids to snicker at the four friends who were just too thrilled to be together to take offence, "your leader is Naruto Uzumaki" Iruka said enjoying the shocked look on all the children's faces.

"Team one on the roof right now! " Naruto shouted from his seat before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Five minutes later on the roof of the academy building Naruto stood before his potential squad "so first off is getting to know each other so I want you all to tell me your names, likes, dislikes and your hopes for the future" Naruto said to the youngsters before him despite the fact he had handpicked this team he still had to go through the routine.

"My name is Gin Inuzuka I like dogs and my friends I hate stuck up pricks oh and strawberries my dream for the future is to be a true alpha" Naruto Looked at the boy he had short black hair brown eyes and the traditional fang tattoos and sharp teeth of the Inuzuka clan he also bore a three scars than ran down vertically across his left eye , he wore a leather vest with the dog Sigel of his clan on the back his arms where bear and beneath the vest he wore a mesh vest , he had on normal black ninja Trousers and a pair of combat boots his headband was wrapped around his bicep. " what about your partner" Naruto asked looking at the white dog "Oh my partner hear is Haku" gin replied no way that's fubar and he's way bigger than Akimaru at that age thought Naruto.

"Next" Naruto ordered "my name is Shinbou Aburame I like loyalty I dislike those who judge a book by its cover my dream is to find a lost island" Shin like all Aburame liked to keep himself covered up he had on a large blue coat that ended just above his knees and his head was hidden under its hood on the back of the coat was the insect Sigel of his clan, he wore blue tinted shades dark blue trousers with combat boots he also wore his forehead protector around his arm.

"Loyalty is a great thing to value Shin, Kasi Your up" Naruto ordered. "Ahh man, my name is Kasi Uzumaki, I like plants and fighting I dislike um um ummm twats totally hate them and my dream is to surpass you sensei and protect our clan NO DOUBT!"

Naruto smiled at his clansman he had grown a lot since Naruto had found him in wave country his once long red hair was now styled to match Naruto he had green eyes tanned skin from his years living in wave his face had a scar on his right cheek that ran from the bottom of his eye to his jaw a memento from his time living on the streets. He wore black combat boots, trousers and t-shirt he also wore a coat reminiscent of Naruto's sage coat it was black with red flames along the rim on the back was a red swirl of the Uzumaki clan he was the only one out of the four that wore his forehead protector in the correct place.

"And finally our young kunoichi" the blonde said "my name is Kuro Yuri Nara I like my boys and listening to music I dislike traitors and my dream is to become as good as the kunoichi I'm named after" the girl had brown eyes and delicate futures her long black hair was tied in a pony tail. She wore a white t-shirt and a black skirt and underneath black shorts she had a black armless jacket with a hood that was down on its bag was the stag Sigel of the Nara clan in white she had mesh fingerless gloves that went up her forearm and like all the others wore combat boots her forehead protector around her waist, Naruto could tell that she would be a stunner when she grew up.

"Okay time for me my name is Naruto Uzumaki I like my wife, Ramen and the village in that order I have to many dislikes to list and my dream is to be Hokage BELIVE IT!" Naruto yelled "now guys tomorrow is the real genin test so rest well and meet me at training ground 7 at 9am sharp!"

With that Naruto jumped off the roof and was gone "time for some ramen!" he whispered grinning madly.

The next morning Naruto Stood before the 4 youngsters "Right boys and girl now time for the test, you see these bells?" the four nodded "you have until noon to get these bells from me if you don't you will be sent back to the academy now as you can see there's only two bells that means no matter what two of you will fail!, muhaaaaa!" Naruto laughed evil emanating of him in waves," and if you don't come with content to kill you won't win simple, now begin!" He shouted he expect a brawl or for them all to rush in but what they did took him completely by surprise the four tuned to each other and began to play Kunai, jutsu, log when two winners where decided they rushed there sensei.

Kasi charged head on and threw a punch at his idols head at the same time shin came in from behind with a sweeping kick , Haku charged in from the left flank and gin in the right whilst Kuro just sat back and watched, the move was perfectly synchronised but they wear up against a legend , Naruto simply hoped up onto shins leg he caught Kasi's fist and swung him into the oncoming gin as he did this he shot out his leg kicking Haku away then to finish it off he jumped infusing chakra into his leg this pushed shin into the floor creating a small crater.

"TO ME!" Kuro shouted the boys and dog regrouped at her side "cd1 boys" she said before throwing down smoke pellets to obscure Naruto's view a minute later the three boys ran out of the smoke charging Naruto again, but Naruto's trained eye could easily see the thin wire attached to each boys backs "cleaver girl" Naruto smirked working out Kuro's plan he quickly wove hand signs faster than a normal person could follow before slamming his hands on the ground "swamp of the underworld!" Naruto shouted the three boys sank into the swamp long before they could get to Naruto.

"Nice try using the wire on your backs to allow a shadow possession jutsu but it's been done before and now you have left Kuro defenceless" with that he charged at the girl but just before his fist made contact the girl exploded into a swarm of bugs that covered the blonde hero but as soon as it happened the bugs burst off Naruto who was laughing " aw come on guys you should know I've been fighting Nara's and Aburame's for years" Naruto bragged "WHAT ABOUT AN UZUMAKI!" shouted Kasi from his position stuck in the swamp "Activate" the red head shouted making a dragon hand sign. A large seal appeared on the floor around Naruto , at this he just smirked "a paralysis seal nice work kasi but your forgetting I'm the head of the Uzumaki clan!" with this Naruto walked out of the seal hah that will freak him out the blonde thought "Rule one of seals a seal has to make contact with the attended target" with this they noticed that Naruto wasn't actually on the ground his feet were actually an inch off the ground and had been since he put down the swamp jutsu. now to find the real Kuro and Haku Naruto thought not a second after this thought Naruto felt heat from behind him he flipped to doge a stream of fire coming from the tree line behind where the four where originally stood , as soon as Naruto landed the shadow created by the fire stream shot out and attached itself to his "shadow possession complete" he heard Kuro say from the tree line at that point kasi came running out of the tree line and went for the bells he was just about to grab them when Naruto disappeared in a plume of smoke "shit a shadow clone!" kasi swore.

Naruto emerged from the ground a few meters away clapping, "very good guys you all pass!" He said beaming at his team. "Whaaat!?" they all shouted Naruto laughed "the test is a test of team work you all passed the moment you played kunai jutsu log to decide who the two too pass on would be then you all worked to that goal , even though two of you already knew you were going back" with that he released his jutsu the Kasi that had been trapped in the swamp dropped his henge to reveal gin and the other gin turned out to be Haku "I must say that plan was wicked a triple layered deception and timing the seal gin did to make it look like he activated the seal instead of the hidden Kasi was genius to celebrate the forming of team Awesome I will treat you all to some Ramen BELIVE IT!" Naruto said giving the good guy Pose.
