Edited. This was my first story. I wrote the first chapter last year. Bear with me. So review. If you don't you, You will be haunted by the ghost of a bum. But not just any bum, but the bum who lives on the corner and is always asking for money. Only now he wants you to review. Got it?
Naruto Uzumaki awoke with a massive headache. The night before he had a long talk with Oji-san about his 'heritage' and Tenant. It Made him depressed that his own Father had sealed the Nine tails within him. But he was proud that his own father had been the greatest and most famous Kage there was. He was confused as to why he was left alone. He knew that his father had died so that he could live but he obviously had a mother some where and that was just a guess. For all he knew she died too.
Naruto shifted in his bed as the morning glow hit his face. He knew yesterday was the last day he would attend the Academy as just a student. Today he would be a ninja. Doing missions and helping the village. He couldn't wait. Naruto turned to his alarm clock. 6:29 turned to 6:30 with a loud siren. he-he homemade alarms.
"Shut that thing off demon brat! Some of us are trying to sleep."
Naruto quickly turned off the alarm clock and put his Ninja attire on. Naruto was smart enough to get rid of his orange jumpsuit when Ero-Sennin had introduced him to the wonders of stealth. Now he wore a dark red Muscle shirt with a dark grey jacket adorned with dark red spirals that turned to fox tails as they exited the spiral. His pants were the same red color. His headband was around his neck and goggles on his forehead. Looking at his headband in the mirror, he smiled as he remembered being accepted by Iruka the previous night. He sighed and walked out his door.
Ero-Sennin was ordered not to teach Naruto anything that was especially powerful. So he just helped Naruto to learn the academy jutsu. But when Naruto's talentless Genjutsu skills came to surface Jiraiya quickly thought of a way to help Naruto. Jiraiya of the sannin with his vast knowledge of skills and Jutsu… went to Sarutobi for help. Jiraiya had come back with a rather disappointing scroll, but in it, Naruto saw his one chance at graduating his class. Shadow clones. Ero-Sennin went on to explain that Naruto lacked the Chakra control to do Genjutsu and that Kage Bunshins, unlike Normal Bunshins where a ninjutsu for infiltration. The chakra cost was high, but with Naruto's stamina and Kage level reserves, he could use this jutsu to it's fullest.
Naruto came back from his own little world as he looked up to see the academy in all it's glory. Or all it could muster rather. The building itself was just a multi storied box that of course had a slanted roof. If you picture a school, this is how you would think it would look. He had bad memories in this place. He kept his grades good enough to pass normally but had still failed his test the day before.
Even though he trained with Jiriya, (that was a secret) he knew that by the end of the week everyone would know about his heritage and that he would be taking his fathers name and property. But until the Hokage released the information, he could not speak of it. He had asked why and was told that as the information was SS-Classed information he could not reveal it himself. (The loophole of him being involved does not apply as it is Double S Class Secret)
Naruto slowly walked to his class room as he thought about his life. It was not a good one, but he couldn't say it was bad. He had people who love him, Teuchi, Ayame, Oji-san, Ero-Sennin, and Iruka-sensei. Heck even a few classmates have smiled his way. As Naruto sat into his chair by Sasuke, oblivious to the two Kounoichi's arguing beside him. As a hand reached toward his head from behind him he lurched to the side without seeing who was attacking him.
"Sakura if you want this seat just ask." He said as he got up.
Sakura of course being her bratty self was slightly put off by his unusual behavior. But as being said, she was bratty, so she could not express the emotion of concern.
"Naruto, you Baka! That is my seat beside Sasuke, and you can't have it. He probably is catching your stupidity every second you are near him!" She spat in his face.
Naruto looked in the face of the bitchy incarnate. "I didn't know he loved you so much! How 'bout we ask him if he would like you to join him?" They looked at Sasuke. Naruto with a look of disgust and Sakura with a look of hope.
"Leave me lone Sakura. You may be the smartest Kuinichi, but you are the worst person here. You aren't fit to be a ninja. Did you think I even like you? You're always screaming like a banshee and crowding my personal space. You are annoying."
Sakura's face never changed as she continued to smile at Sasuke. "I love you too Sasuke-kun!" Everyone excluding Ino, sweat dropped at her. Ino was thinking along the same lines as Sakura. As her jealousy induced rage hit it's apex, she tackled sakura out the window.
Naruto looked at the window in surprise "That was rather Anti-Climactic…" Sasuke was similarly stunned as he just nodded his head in agreement.
Naruto sat down next to Sasuke as Iruka walked into the room. Iruka stared at the empty seats were Sakura and Ino are normally fighting. Then he saw the window was open. Seats then window. Seats. Window. Seats…
"They fell out the window didn't they…" everyone nodded with sweat drops on the back of their heads.
"I will be right back…" he said as he left.
Everyone was back to talking amongst themselves. Many claims of greatness were uttered in the classroom, most coming from the males of the group. Out of the males was Kiba Inuzuka, heir to the Inuzuka clan and perhaps the most malodorous Ninja there was in Konoha.
"I swear on my blood that in a weeks time I will have so many babes hanging off my Rippling Muscles that everyone will agree to make me Chunin right away!" He proclaimed, loudly showing off his biceps. Many academy student has spoken this and none has kept there word. Akamaru simply ducked his head in embarrassment. He hated when his master acted like this.
A boy named Chojii laughed, "I doubt it!"
Everyone turned as Iruka walked in the room with two pitiful looking girls. Ino looked like she was going to pass out while Sakura was sobbing. It appeared that Ino had taken the brunt of the damage while Sakura had just landed on top of her.
There was a thud as Ino fell to the floor unconscious with Sakura giving a victorious smile down towards her.
Everyone stared at the two, amazed they where even still alive.
Iruka cleared his throat as Sakura dragged Ino to two empty seats in the back. Unfortunately they were beside Kiba. Kiba grinned at the 2 girls perversely as Iruka began speaking.
"I will now present the teams you will be on until you become Chunin… (1-6 Nobody cares…)
"Team seven under Hatake Kakashi: Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuuga Hinata."
Naruto did not mind his team. Sasuke usually kept to himself and Hinata was… Odd… He didn't know much about her other than she seemed to contract a fever whenever she was around him…
"Team 8 under Sarutobi Asuma: Ino Yamanaka, Akimichi Choji, Nara Shikamaru"
"Team nine is still in use. Team ten under Kurenai Yuuhi: Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, Haruna Sakura."
Sakura Screamed at the top of her lungs as she stood up. "WHAT? WHY DID YOU NOT PUT ME WITH SASUKE! YOU PUT ME WITH DOG-BOY AND THE BUG FREAK!"
Said Dog-boy reached around the girls shoulders, in a bad attempt at flirtation. "Look like you're with me, babe." He said, grinning down at the girls dismal chest. "You might be an A-cup, but anything will work, right?"
Sakura fought off the boy and ran out of the room, with Kiba following close behind. Shino meerly shrugged and followed quietly.
Iruka calmly stared her down as he gathered his papers, "The Hokage put these teams together. If anyone else has a problem, bring it up with him." he said, eying Ino closely.
Iruka looked over his class one last time. "I have a meeting to attend. Please wait for your new Sensei's to arrive." Iruka walked out of the room.
As time when by, various ninja showed up to take their new students. Seemingly almost sudden, Team 7 was the last team left.
Naruto, who up til now had been thinking, looked around the room.
"I'm bored…"
Sasuke turned his head to Naruto.
"Hn"
Naruto sighed, then turned to Hinata.
"So, what do you think of this team?"
Hinata's blood went straight to her face as Naruto gave her attention. Stuttering nonsense for a moment, she regained her composure… Sorta.
"W-well… I-I th-think this t-team would b-be... g-good…" Mentally Hinata was hitting herself in the head for sounding so stupid.
Naruto smiled and agreed. Hinata's worries melted at his smile. He turned back into his seat and began to wait. And wait. And wait. Finally, after an indescribable amount of time, a man popped his head through the door way. He had grey, gravity defying hair and a face mask, his headband covered his right eye. His left eye was curved in a u shape, seemingly a smile.
"Team 7?" the three nodded. "Good, My first impression of you… I don't like you…"
All three sweatdropped at the Jounin…
"I will meet you on the roof in 5 minutes."
All three nodded.
Finished
