Authors Note: Okay so this is basically the first chapter of Naruto: Jinchuuriki Chronicles recreated by me. I hope Zero the Leech sees this and I get her approval. Now this will not be word for word in fact it will be a complete recreation mostly because I don't have an original copy of the story since Zero the Leech took it down. I hope I get some reviews also for those of you that read the original story I have a favor to ask of you. For those of you that have read Jinchuuriki Chronicles I ask that you not only review the chapter but make a summary of the next chapter with as much details as possible in case I forgot to include anything. Thank you and feel free to flame all criticism is welcome.
Episode 1: Cast the Die! The International Selection Begins!
Naruto Uzamaki felt like he was on top of the world. Today was his first day of being a ninja. He was currently grinning like an idiot sitting down at a desk wearing his orange jump suit with the Uzamaki symbol on his back and blue sandals on his feet.
Shikamaru Nara walked down the stairs of the classroom with a half asleep look on his face until his saw Naruto. "Naruto what are you doing? Drop outs can't be here, orientation is for graduates only."
Still smiling Naruto turned his head and laughed. "Take a look at the forehead genius I'm a fully fledged ninja now, believe it!"
If Naruto wasn't so busy gloating he would have noticed a certain Hyuuga heiress staring longingly at him. 'So Naruto graduated too, I'm glad.' A small but noticeable blush dusted her cheeks in a timid but alluring fashion.
Suddenly two pairs of thundering foot steps came rushing towards the door of the classroom before it slammed open revealing two young girls. The girls were panting heavily as if they had just run through the entire village. Glaring but still panting the girl known as Ino laughed. "I win again Sakura"
"Ha you wish my toe was at least a tenth of an inch ahead of yours!"
They continued to bicker endlessly while the rest of the class continued with their previous activities already used to the pair's animosity. Naruto however was entranced by the pink haired kounichi. 'Sakura-chan is so pretty I hope I end up on a team with her.' Sakura suddenly stopped butting heads with Ino and looked over in Naruto's direction before her face lit up with a dazzling smile. 'She's smiling at me.'
Sakura trotted over to Naruto's desk. "Hello"
"Hey Sakura how's it goi-"
"Move it loser!" Naruto was promptly knocked over on to the ground as soon as he was within reach of the fiery Haruno. "Hey Sasuke-kun, do you mind if I sit here?"
"Hey back off forehead I was here first!" Ino said venom dripping from her voice.
"Well I was here before any of you!" Another girl joined the argument
"No I deserve to sit next to Sasuke-kun!"
"No way, I do"
"No me" The argument dissolved into non-discernable yelling while the subject of said argument continued to sit with elbows resting on the table.
'Damn it their arguing about Sasuke again what's so damn special about that teme anyway! Having enough Naruto jumped up and hoped onto his desk glaring daggers into Sasuke's closed eyes.
Acknowledging his prescence Sasuke slowly opened his eyes. "You want something dobe?" Sasuke's dull eyes then became intense glaring back at Naruto with equal ferocity.
The two became so engaged in their battle of wills that they didn't notice the growing bloodlust directed at Naruto. "Naruto you idiot what are you doing to Sasuke-kun!"
"If you touch one hair on his head I'll kill you!"
"C'mon Sasuke-kun kick his ass!" The fans of the last Uchiha screamed for retribution at this outrageous offence against the subject of their affection.
"Hey this is great right?" A male ninja said turning to face his friend who sat next to him unknowingly elbowing Naruto's rear end pushing him forward unknowingly condemning Naruto to more pain than he has ever felt before in his life. "Hey sorry about tha- huh?
Naruto had unfortunately been pushed forward so that his lips slammed against his rival's.
Sakura was devastated her eyes going wide in anguish. 'No I was supposed to Sasuke-kun's first kiss!'
'Cha that idiot Naruto I'll kill him cha.'
Once his brain registered what had happened he pulled himself backwards witg all the force he could muster falling down from the desk. "BLAAAGH MY MOUTH IS INFECTED!"
Sasuke himself was whizzing in disgust. "AHH! Naruto I'm gonna kill you!
Naruto halted his complaining when his sensed a mass amount of killing intent coming from behind him. Slowly he turned his head and saw a dark purple aura surrounding the suitors of his unwanted first kiss and they glared at him much as a spider would glare at a fly caught in it's web. "NARUTO"
"I-it was an accident Sakura-chan"
"YOU'RE DEAD!"
Meanwhile
A young kunoichi walked through the konoha's gates along with a older brown haired jonin with a bowl cut and a horizontal scar running across his for head. The sun shone off the female ninja, her mint green hair and tan coppery skin as she adjusted the red straps crossed over her chest attached to a red container with unknown contents. Her white tank top and skirt were worn over a fishnet mesh undershirt and leggings; she had two arm warmers on her forearms and tied just above her right arm warmer was her head band with the emblem of Takigakure a symbol that she was a shinobi of the village hidden in the waterfall. "This place is huge! How are we ever going find the academy in time?"
The older jonin frowned in disgust. "Quite complaining brat, just keep quite and follow me." The Jonin walked forward not noticing his fellow traveler stick her tongue out at him.
Meanwhile… again
Two Sunagakure shinobi walked the through the hall of the leaf ninja academy, their foot steps echoing off the walls somehow sounding foreboding like a shark slowly circling around it's prey. The older ninja wore standard Suna jonin clothes; his most distinguishing feature was the, fact that his entire head was wrapped in cloth save for the left side of his face. His younger companion was some how even stranger in appearance despite his short stature. His shirt and pants was ordinary enough, a short sleeve black shirt over a mesh undershirt, while his ankles were wrapped in bandages over a pair of open toes sandals. A white cloth wrapped diagonally around his chest criss crossing with the strap which held both his Suna headband and a large unique looking gourd on his back. He looked forward with his soulless pale green eyes rimmed black not too different from a raccoon and hair red as blood. The older nin kept a noticeable gape in between the two of them as if afraid of the younger shinobi.
"Gaara I hope you understand how important this program is."
"…." Gaara remained silent not even turning his head to acknowledge the sand jonin.
"It's very impotant that you don't have one of your episodes, you father the kazeka-"
"Baki" Gaara's cold tone cut Baki off like a hot knife through butter. "Be quite or I'll kill you." Baki immediately shut up due to his sense of self preservation.
Meanwhile, last time I swear
"Congratulations as of today you are officially ninja but the road only gets tougher from here on out. You've come a long way but in order to move forward you need to take a more individual approach to your training as such we will be assigning all of you into groups of four, three genin and one jonin." Iruka picked up his clip board and started listing off the teams.
'I wonder what team I'll be on. Anyone's fine as long as it's not Sasuke.' Naruto thought idly.
'I hope I get on Sasuke-kun's team'
'Cha I'd better get on Sasuke's team or there'll be hell to pay Cha' Sakura thought both lovingly and angrily.
Naruto perked up when he heard a familiar name.
"Team Seven, Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuuga, and Shino Abare"
Hinata suddenly looked downtrodden. 'So Naruto and I will be separated.' The thought made her stomach twist uncomfortably.
Ino was chanting to herself as if asking the gods for help. "Sasuke's team, Sasuke's team, Sasuke's team, Sasuke's team…!"
Irritated by the Uchiha fanatic's muttering Shikamaru spoke up. "What's so great about him anyway, he's not so special."
Ino glared at the Nara but spoke in a disbelieving tone. "How you can say that, can't you tell anything?"
"No because I'm not a girl."
Ino scoffed "You are so naïve, jealousy is an ugly thing I'd hate to be on your team."
Just then Iruka stated the next team. "Team Eight, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara-"
"What?!"
"What was that you said about hating to be on my team?" The lazy shinobi said with a smug grin.
"-and Chōji Akimichi." Iruka said finishing listing the team.
'Ugh not food boy too!' Ino thought in agony.
While Ino stewed in the fact that she was going to spend her entire genin career with the two laziest students in the academy. Iruka continued to list of the teams until only Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke once all the other students were assigned their teams. "Alright, now that you have been assigned your teams, you are to gather in your given room numbers to meet your jonin instructor, that is all for today."
"Excuse me, Iruka-sensei you forgot me and Sasuke-kun."
"Yeah! Me too." Naruto yelled not wanting to be forgotten.
"I was getting to that." Iruka grumbled feeling a head ache coming on. "Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzamaki please follow me to classroom 8-C." Iruka waited for the three of them to get up to follow before walking out the door. Though they asked none a silent question hung in the air. 'What is going on?' When they finally reached the door the three students curiosities were all but bursting at the seams. When Iruka opened the door the scene on the other side was anything but what they predicted. Grouped together at the desks and on the floors were shinobi, but not you're regular run of the mill leaf shinobi. These shinobi all were the same age as them and wore assortments of garbs and gear all in different colors and styles along with having exotic skin tones and a fruit basket of hair colors. Naruto and Sakura stared at them trying to understand the situation they were in, until Sasuke spoke up.
"They're all from different villages." Naruto and Sakura looked at Sasuke a moment before reexamining the shinobi again taking note of the various head bands signifying their village of allegiance. Before either Naruto or Sakura could question their sensei about this, his voice cut them off.
"Alright you three go and mingle, me and the other instructors will arrive shortly."
"But Iruka-sensei-" Sakura tried to say in protest before realizing she was addressing a cloud of smoke. Not knowing what else to do the three walked to the group of chattering teenagers. Sasuke immediately found a pillar to lean against his arms crossed in a signature cool guy pose and had already amassed a small group of new fan girls staring longingly at him while Sakura ground her teeth at the thought of new love rivals.
'Geez' Thought a mint haired shinobi. 'That guy is trying way too hard to look cool.' However a certain knuckle headed ninja could not resist the chance to steal everyone's attention. Jumping up on the desk he shouted.
"ALRIGHT EVERYONE LISTEN UP!" All head snapped to Naruto giving him the undivided attention. "My name is Naruto Uzamaki and I'm not going to lose to any of you!" Various reactions appeared throughout the rooms some of disbelief some of shock but mostly one's of annoyance.
'NARUTO YOU BAKA!' Sakura screamed in her head.
'That dobe…' Sasuke thought sighing in irritation.
'Agh so loud! I hope I'm not on his team.' A Taki Jinchuuriki thought.
'He's not even worth killing.' The red haired Suna nin closed his eyes waiting for the idiot's inevitable death.
'He's either extremely strong or a complete moron.' Thought a young man clutching a black sword. 'Probably both.'
'Did he say Uzamaki?' The young kunoichi tucked a strand of red hair behind her glasses.
The door to the room opened and walked in a group of older Shinobi also from various Villages. Most wore their village's standard uniform however some wore very unique clothing like the dark skinned Kumo nin in the back. In the center of the various jonin was a young man clad in the Hokages formal garbs was the son of the white fang, copy nin, and if the rumors were true the boyfriend of the infamous masochistic snake master Anko Mitarashi, Kakashi Hatake the fifth Hokage. Immediately Naruto was forgotten and all eyes were on the masked Kage even Naruto got down and focused.
"All right I know you all probably have a lot of question but before that I have one thing to say." Though is seemed formal enough the Hokage said it in such a bored town that the genin had a hard time taking him seriously. However what he said next grabbed their attention.
"Welcome to the International Selection."
