Chapter One: The New Team Seven

'I can't wait!' thought Uzumaki Naruto. He was one of the newest ninja in Konoha and today he was going to find out who his Sensei was going to be. He was hoping that his Sensei was going to be really strong. After all, how was he going to become Hokage if he had a bad Sensei?

Naruto was so happy, thinking about his new life as a ninja, that he almost didn't notice a lump in the fence. He knew right away who it was. "Hey, Konohamaru! What are you doing?" Naruto asked, looking right at the lump.

Konohamaru through the blanket, painted to look like the fence, onto the ground. He started to run towards Naruto… Then he tripped over the blanket. "You tripped me!" Konohamaru accused, pointing at Naruto.

Naruto punched Konohamaru over the head, causing him to fall on his butt. "You tripped yourself, stupid!" Naruto yelled, staring down at Konohamaru.

Konohamaru jumped to his feet. "I challenge you to a fight!" he yelled. "I can take you on!" He ran towards Naruto but, once again, he tripped over the blanket.

Naruto just shook his head. "I can't play with you today, Konohamaru. I have to go to the Academy to find out who my sensei is going to be," Naruto explained, showing off his few Hitai-ate. "You see, starting today, I'm a ninja."

"Wow…" said Konohamaru, looking at Naruto's Hitai-ate like it was made out of gold. Suddenly, he snapped out of the daze he was in. "Just wait, Boss! I'll graduate, too! I'll be the Rookie of the Year! Believe it!"

Konohamaru ran off to train. "Hey!" Naruto yelled after him. "That's my line!"

Konohamaru didn't hear him, though. He was already out of sight. Naruto just shrugged and continued to walk towards the Academy, ignoring all the glares the villagers sent at him.

Naruto finally got to the Academy. He didn't bother looking for a seat, since there was barely anyone there and there were a lot of seats open for him to take. He took a seat near the middle of the room. Usually he would sit near the back, so no one could throw anything at him but there really wasn't a point. Everyone was rather too happy to throw things at him or too busy thinking about Sasuke.

Speaking of Sasuke… Naruto looked next to him and realized that he was sitting two seats away from him. How could he have not noticed that?

"What do you want, Dobe?" Sasuke asked, noticing that Naruto was staring at him.

Naruto didn't say anything; he just looked away and started staring at a wall on the other side of the room. Sasuke glared at the back of Naruto's head, not liking the idea of being ignored. "What's with the new outfit, Dobe? Realized that wearing all orange was stupid?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto turned to face Sasuke, wondering why he was even bothering to talk to him. "Didn't your parents ever tell you not to talk to me?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke clenched his fists so hard that they turned white. "My parents, and the rest of my family, were killed," Sasuke said, glaring at Naruto.

"Oh, no, Sasuke has no family. Let's all just sit in our emo corners and cut our wrists," Naruto said sarcastically. He knew that he was being a jerk, and that he was treating Sasuke like the villagers treated him. But, for some reason, he still said what he did. He felt really bad about it.

He looked at Sasuke and saw how mad he was. "Sorry, that was uncalled for," said Naruto.

Iruka-Sensei walked in the class room. Only then did he notice that everyone had showed up. He looked back at Sasuke and saw that he was still mad. Sasuke pulled back his fist to punch him. Naruto knew that he deserved it, so he didn't block or move. When Sasuke punched him in the face Naruto fell off his chair, landing on his back.

"Sasuke, stop that!" Iruka-Sensei yelled.

Sasuke ignored him. He ran over to Naruto and picked him by the front of his shirt. He lifted Naruto off the ground and, to make sure his feet didn't touch the ground, held him up against the wall. He pulled back his fist again. "Don't ever say that again!" Sasuke yelled, shocking everyone. He punched Naruto in the face again, not holding back even a little.

"I said I was sorry," Naruto pointed out. Sasuke punched him in the face again.

Iruka-Sensei stepped forward and pulled Sasuke off of Naruto. Naruto landed back on the ground but stayed on his feet. "What is the meaning of this, Sasuke?" Iruka-Sensei demanded. Sasuke said nothing, he just glared at Naruto. "Apologize," Iruka-Sensei ordered.

"No," Sasuke replied. "He deserved it, for what he said."

Iruka-Sensei was about to say something when Naruto spoke up. "He's right, I did deserve it," Naruto said.

Iruka-Sensei sighed. "Okay, just sit down." Sasuke sat down where he was before and everyone was a little surprised when Naruto sat down next to him.

"Sorry," Naruto whispered to Sasuke, not even looking at him. Sasuke didn't say anything back; he just pretended that he didn't hear him.

"Okay, class," said Iruka-Sensei. "From this day on you're all ninja. But remember, Genin is the lowest rank in the ninja world, and you must train and work hard if you wish to survive. Now, today I will put you all in three men squads. You will be expected to get along and work well with your team mates. Usually I would put you all into groups depending on your grades to make all the groups even in strength. But, this year, we have some students who haven't been trying their best, some students who have been cheating and some students who even been hiding everything from day one so no one will know how strong they are. So, since I know who those people are I've decided to put you into groups by deciding which kind of ninja squad you will be. Now Team 1 will be… Team 8 will be Hinata, Shino, and Kiba. You will be a tracking squad. Team 9 will be… Team 10 will be Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji. You will be an infiltration squad. And that's all."

"What about me, Iruka-Sensei?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah what gives, Iruka-Sensei? You forgot me and Sasuke-kun!" Sakura pointed out.

"Oh, right. It's written down somewhere else…" Iruka-Sensei said, looking through some papers. "Oh, here it is. Oh… this is weird. It's a note from… someone. I'll read it out loud. 'To Iruka, This note is very important, so don't lose it. In case you don't know this letter is from Namikaze Minato, Yondaime Hokage…'" Iruka-Sensei paused at what he just read.

"The Yondaime wrote us a note for graduation?" Sakura asked, sounding excited.

Iruka-Sensei shrugged. "I haven't gotten that far yet. I'll continue to read the note. '… this letter is from Namikaze Minato, Yondaime Hokage, and my wife. This is just to ask you to do a favor for me. I want Naruto to be the student of Kakashi, my student until Jiriaya, my Sensei, comes to teach him. Also, I want Uchiha Sasuke on his team. Most likely the two with be like me and Sasuke's father, always fighting with each other. I know that Orochimaru is after Sasuke, since he was also after Itachi. I want Kakashi to protect him, since he will have no one there. Before you ask I knew that the Uchiha clan was going to get killed…'"

"He knew and he didn't tell anyone!?" Sasuke interrupted, jumping to his feet.

"Let me finish, Sasuke," Iruka-sensei said calmly. "Where was I? 'Before you ask I knew that the Uchiha clan was going to get killed. The Uchiha clan was planning on killing me, my wife, and my unborn son. They were planning on taking over the entire village. Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke's older brother, told me right when he found out. Soon after that my brother, who left the village at a young age and is now the leader of an evil organization, found about what the Uchiha clan was planning. I knew right away that he wouldn't let that happen. He told me, right before I sealed Kyuubi, that he would kill the Uchiha clan when Itachi was thirteen. Because Itachi warned me he would spare him and Sasuke. Now, I want to tell you why I want Haruno Sakura on the team. Although I don't know the Haruno clan well, I do know that if they were to become ninja they would have good chakra control. Knowing that Naruto would be like me, and Sasuke would want to be better then Naruto and that Sakura would most likely beat Naruto every time he did or said anything to Sasuke, I really think they would need someone to learn to be a medic. Well, since I got all that over with I want to give the three of you some advice, even though I only know you through my bloodline to see into the future. Yes, I have a bloodline and so does my wife. Anyway, Sakura, don't bother with Sasuke, he's probably gay. Sasuke, don't worry, it's okay to be gay. Nah, I'm just kidding. Sasuke, don't think like Kakashi did. He thought that being a ninja and completing a mission is more important then your teammates. That is NOT true. Never believe that. Only when you have someone to protect only then do you become strong. Sakura, only when you become a great ninja only then will Sasuke even look at you. Trust me, I know. And, last but not least, Naruto. No matter what comes your way you can get through it. You are not alone in this and if you ever think you need someone to talk to go to Sarutobi and tell him the password. The password is 'Uchiha and Uzumaki is lollipop'. Get it? Ff you put the two clan symbols together it's a lollipop. I always made fun of your sister for that. I know that your sister isn't there, because of my bloodline. She will be back someday. She doesn't know you're alive. The reason why I made fun of her was because she had the biggest crush on Itachi and Itachi had the biggest crush on her and they were too dumb to notice. Well, anyway, I don't want Iruka to kill himself because he had to read this to you guys so I'll end this here. Oh, and if you're reading this to yourself right now, Iruka, I do want you to read this to them. If you are reading this for the first time do not read anymore. Okay? Good.'"

The whole class room was silent as Iruka-Sensei finished reading what Minato didn't want the rest of them to know. When he was finished he nodded his head to himself. He put the paper back into his desk, locked it, and faced that class once again. "Okay, everyone, your sensei will be here shortly. I'm going to leave now. I'm really thirsty."

Naruto watched Iruka-Sensei leave the classroom, and then turned to look at Sasuke, who was staring at his desk. "I hated my brother for nothing?" he mumbled to himself.

"Sucks to be you, huh?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke slowly turned to face him, no emotion showing on his face. The air behind him seemed to get darker. "I'll kill you!" he suddenly screamed.

The room suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at Sasuke. Naruto decided that since he was the nice person he was he was going to get Sasuke out of the mess he got himself into. "What did he do after that?" Naruto asked. Sasuke and Naruto both sighed in relieve when everyone went back to their conversations. "Are you still going to kill me?" said Naruto.

"Obviously," Sasuke replied. Naruto sweat dropped.

Sakura and Ino looked at Sasuke from the back of the room. "What do you think they're talking about?" Ino asked.

"Probably me," Sakura replied, smirking at her rival.

"Yeah, right, Forehead. Seriously, though. They're probably telling each other how their going to kill each other."

"You know what I'm going to do after that?" Sasuke asked. "I'm going to throw you into a volcano."

­­­­­­­­

"I don't think so Ino pig. Naruto's too…" Sakura said, trailing off.

"Dumb to think of anyway to kill someone?" Ino asked. Sakura nodded her head.

"Oh, yeah." said Naruto. "Well, I'll… Um…"

"Don't worry, Naruto. I can't think of anything, either," said Sasuke.

Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto were left alone in the classroom. They waited for two hours and their sensei still didn't show up. Sakura was sleeping, Sasuke was staring off into space, and Naruto was carving Kiba's name into his desk. He laughed evilly when he was done, knowing that Kiba would get into trouble for it. He moved over to another kid's desk and started to write their name into it.

At that moment someone walked into the room. Naruto looked up from what he was doing, kunai still in the desk. Sasuke looked over at the man who walked into the room, glaring. Sakura slowly raised her head off the desk, also looking at the man. "Who are you?" Naruto asked.

"I'm Kakashi," he answered.

"You're Kakashi, huh?" Naruto said. "How do you spell that?"

"Um… why do you need to know how to spell my name?"

Naruto looked at the desk he was carving a name into. "I want to write your name into the desk," he answered honestly.

"Right… My first impression of you guys is… you're weird. Meet me on the roof in 10 minutes," said Kakashi. With that he left.

10 minutes later they were all on the roof of the Academy. "Okay," Kakashi started. "As you already know, I am your new sensei, Kakashi. You will call me Kakashi-Sensei. Now, to get to know each other we'll tell each other our likes, dislikes, hobbies, and dreams for the future."

"Um… Sensei… Why don't you go first?" Sakura suggested.

"Well, okay. My name is Kakashi. My likes… my dislikes… um… hobbies…? Don't really have one… dreams for the future…" Kakashi trailed off. "Oh, well. Pinky, you go next."

Sakura glared at Kakashi. "I'm Haruno Sakura. I like Sasuke and my hair. My hobbies are…" Sakura giggled. "My dream…" she started giggling again. "My dislikes are Ino-pig and Naruto!"

"That's fantastic. Emo kid, you next," said Kakashi.

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I like apples and training. My dislikes are fan girls like Haruno," said Sasuke. Sakura looked upset. "My hobbies are training and my dream for the future is to revive my clan."

"Okay, Blondie, you next," said Kakashi.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto. I like Ramen, cats, and Training. My dislikes are the three minutes it takes to make ramen, rain, when I can't train because it's raining, dogs and practically every other animal besides Kitsune and cats, oh, and I hate vegetables. My hobbies are training, gardening, and taking care of my cat, Kitsune. And my dream is to become Hokage!"

"Okay, good luck with that," said Kakashi. Kakashi started to laugh to himself.

"What's so funny?" Sakura asked.

"Oh, it just, I can't wait to see your faces when I tell you this," said Kakashi. "You see, you guys aren't really Genin yet. There's another test to see if you pass or not. Out of all the students that pass the Genin exam only nine will become Genin."

Sakura looked completely shocked, Sasuke looked a little angry, but Naruto looked normal. "Did you already know?" Kakashi asked him.

"No, but we'll pass for sure," said Naruto.

Kakashi just shrugged. "Whatever. Meet me at training ground 7 at 6 for your test. Oh, and don't eat breakfast or you'll puke."

Naruto slowly opened his eyes and yawned. He sat up, causing Kitsune to fall off his chest. "Sorry, Kit," he said, petting the brown, furry cat. Kitsune purred at the attention. "Okay, Kit. Today's the day I'm really going to become a Genin!"

Kitsune looked up at Naruto and meowed. "You're so adorable!" Naruto said, petting the cat some more.

After Naruto finally got up he was about to leave when Kitsune sat in front of the door and refused to move. "What's wrong, Kit?" Naruto asked. Kitsune ran away from the door and jumped up on the kitchen counter, putting his paws on the cupboard the ramen was in. "I'm not supposed to eat breakfast," said Naruto. Kitsune didn't move. "Fine, but if I puke it's your entire fault."

When Naruto was done his ramen he put everything away and left his apartment. When he was about to lock his door he realized that Kitsune was beside him. Naruto just shrugged and locked his door. He started to walk towards the training grounds, Kitsune behind him.

When he got to the training grounds Sasuke and Sakura were both there, looking tired. "Hey, guys!" Naruto said happily.

Sakura ignored him and Sasuke just looked at him. Then he looked at the cat behind Naruto. "What's that?" Sasuke asked.

Kitsune hissed at Sasuke, mad that he called him a 'that'. "Don't listen to him, Kit. Sasuke's an idiot."

A few hours later Kakashi showed up. Nobody seemed to notice. Sasuke and Sakura were practically sleeping and Naruto was playing with cat. "Hello, everyone!" said Kakashi.

Sasuke and Sakura both glared at him. Naruto was still playing with his cat. "Naruto, why did you bring your cat?" Kakashi asked him.

"He wanted to come, Sensei! Right, Kit?" Naruto asked. Kitsune meowed.

"Uh, okay, then. Well, let's start the test. You guys have to get these bells from me before noon," said Kakashi, holding up two bells.

"Um, Sensei," Sakura started. "There are only two bells."

"I know, only two of you will pass," Kakashi said, smiling under his mask.

Kitsune hissed as him. "Relax, Kit," Naruto told him.

Kakashi continued to explain. "Also, since one of you won't get a bell, one of you won't get lunch."

"That's why you told us not to eat!?" Sakura demanded.

Kakashi just smiled. "We'll begin in three… two… one… now!"

Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto jumped into the forest. Kitsune stayed where he was, licking his foot. "I wonder why Naruto brought you. You don't seem like a ninja cat," said Kakashi.

Naruto jumped out from a bush and pointed at Kakashi. "I'll beat you for sure!" said Naruto, charging at Kakashi.

Kakashi just pulled out a book and started to read it.

Naruto charged at Kakashi, getting ready to fight. Naruto punched and kicked Kakashi. But, no matter what he did, Kakashi just blocked or dodged his attack. Suddenly, he jumped away from Kakashi. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto yelled, creating 9 clones.

The 10 Narutos attack, but Kakashi still stopped all of his attacks. After Kakashi destroyed all the clones he disappeared. Naruto looked around, confused. "Never let an enemy see your back more then once," said Kakashi.

Naruto blinked and turned around. "Uh-oh," he said.

"A Thousand Years of Pain!" Kakashi yelled, using his second most powerful technique.

Naruto screamed and fell into a lake.

Kitsune meowed loudly and ran to the edge of the water. He looked like he was going to jump in but he was too afraid. He quickly found a log and managed to push it into the water. A few seconds later Naruto grabbed onto it.

Kakashi started to read his book again as Naruto finally got out of the lake. "You really made Kitsune mad," Naruto pointed out.

Kakashi glanced at the angry cat before reading his book again. When Kakashi looked up again Naruto was making hand signs. He didn't recognize the jutsu so he continued to watch. "Great Beast no Jutsu!" Naruto yelled.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow, wondering what was going on. Then he noticed chakra spinning around Kitsune. There was so much chakra not only was he able to see it, but he wasn't able to see through it. The ball of chakra around Kitsune got bigger and bigger. Finally, it disappeared.

Kitsune was growing, his fur was turning black, and his fangs became enorous. (Imagine Kirara but don't at the same time)

Kakashi's eyes went wide at when happened. Naruto let out a big breathe. "It's getting faster, huh Kit?" Kitsune nodded his head.

"What did you do?" Kakashi asked.

"I'll tell you later, Sensei," said Naruto, jumping on Kitsune's back. "Let's go!' Naruto yelled.

Before Kakashi could react Kitsune was on top of him, fang centimeters away from his neck. Naruto leaned over and took both bells before Kitsune jumped away.

Kakashi got up and signed. "Well, I guess the test is over," said Kakashi, scratching the back of his head.

Sasuke and Sakura jumped out of the bushes, a little mad that Naruto had gotten both bells. They both kept their distance away from Kitsune. "So, Naruto," said Kakashi, pulling his book out once again. "Who are you going to give your extra bell to?" he asked.

With out hesitation Naruto gave a bell to Sasuke and a bell to Sakura. "But, Naruto…" Sakura started.

"Don't worry about it," Naruto replied, rubbing the back of his head.

"You take the bell, Naruto," said Sasuke. "I can easily pass next time," said Sasuke holding out his bell.

"Keep it, Sasuke," said Naruto.

"He's right, Sasuke-kun. I'm going to give Naruto my bell," said Sakura.

"Neither of you are giving me your bell. I don't want it," Naruto told them

Before they could start fighting about it Kakashi stepped in. "How about you all pass?" Kakashi asked.

"No! I mean… what?" Naruto asked, confused.

"We passed!" Sakura cheered, hugging Sasuke.

"Yay, we passed!" Naruto yelled, hugging Kitsune. Kitsune purred and picked Naruto's face, making him laugh.

Sasuke cried inside of his mind, trying to get away from Sakura before he died from lack of air.

Kakashi smiled. "Meet at the bridge by the hot springs tomorrow for our first mission," said Kakashi, starting to leave.

"Okay!" Naruto said, raising his fist into the air in excitement.

Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto stayed where they were as Kakashi walked away. "Hey, wait a minute!" Naruto yelled. "What about lunch!? Kakashi-sensei!!"

The new Team 7 chased after their new sensei as Kitsune changed back to normal and ran after them.
