3rd Person POV
Minaka peeked her head up at the blonde boys window. She saw him stir a bit and sit up. She hid. He saw her disappear before he could view over her. He closed his eyes but opened them back up to look at the time. "I'm late!" He said. I jumped quickly out of bed. Minaka, had already started head towards the academy. Naruto pulled on his orange jacket and pants, grabbed his goggles and put them around his head. He drank the rest of his milk from the other day. He ran to the academy.
Sakura felt a presence that she had noticed before. She looked around one more time but found nothing different. She sighed and turned to look at Sasuke. "Heyy, Sasuke." her love rival, Ino, said. The pinkette grunted.
"Hn." said Sasuke in return. Ino was baffled at first, but then frowned and walked away. You go Sasuke. Sakura thought. Naruto burst into the room with Iruka-sensei following behind. Naruto sat at his seat. When they walked in a line to the testing building, Naruto frantically searched for the brown haired, gold eyed girl. They reached the building and he stopped looking.
Most of the ninja had passed with no work effort and others with a bit more effort than others. When it came to Naruto, well... he failed. "I'm going to become Hokage one day! Believe it!" He stormed out of the room and then sulked to the swing on the tree. He heard the parents whispering to other parents. They hated him. They feared him. They shunned him. And he didn't know why. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the brunette. His head turned quickly, but she had already disappeared. He heaved a sigh.
Sasuke had seen her as well and ran over to look at her. She had a ninja headband, and was really young. She must've been apart of the graduating class. She was already running by the time he got there.
The next morning, Minaka looked through the blonde boys window and saw a ninja headband. She smiled on the inside, but stayed emotionless on the outside. Naruto sat up again and saw Minaka. They made eye contact before she ran off to the academy. Naruto had woken up early enough to eat. He sat down at his kitchen table and poured hot water into his ramen. After it was done cooking, he ate and got dressed. His hand moved towards the goggles, but he remembered he was a ninja. He grabbed the headband and tied it around his head.
Minaka stood in the corner of the room and heard the chatter of the girls, always talking about Sasuke. Naruto enter the room. He heard the chatter of the girls. "Sasuke Sasuke Sasuke." Kiba turned around and looked at him.
"What are you doing here Naruto?" Kiba asked. "I'm a ninja now!" Naruto beamed. Kiba rolled his eyes. Naruto was now on the table infront of Sasuke. "What's so special about you anyways. Minaka tried to look at Naruto but the group of girls surrounding Sasuke broke her view. When it cleared she saw Naruto and Sasuke... kissing? Minaka was baffled on the inside but remained emotionless on the outside. "Eww. Eww. Eww!"
"You bastard! I'll kill you!" said the Ravenette.
"My lips are rotting!" Naruto said. Iruka was at the front of the room. "Everyone, take a seat." said sensei. While the girl were fighting over who sat by Sasuke, Minaka took the seat. They all turned to her.
"Who are you?" said Ino with a flip of her hair.
"M-Minaka." Ino rolled her eyes and went to choose another seat. Sasuke turned and looked at her.
"I saw you were watching Naruto. Why?" She remained emotionless.
"No reason."
"Today we're going to choose our groups."
"I hope I'm not with Naruto." muttered Sasuke.
"Team 7. Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and... Minaka." announced Iruka. Everyone started muttering about Minaka. They never noticed her. After he announced the teams, Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto and Minaka headed to their room where they would meet their Jonin.
"I've never seen you before. Why not?"
"I'm just not noticed." Naruto remained quiet, looking down. Sakura and Sasuke watched both of them closely.
"What's wrong Naruto?" Naruto looked up surprised.
"Nothing!"
Kakashi took them outside and they introduced themselves. "How would we do that?"
"Well, say your name, something you like, something you hate, a hobby, dream for the future. Something like that."
"You do it first, so we know how to how it." Kakashi nodded.
"I'm Kakashi Hatake. Things I like... things I hate, I'd rather not say. Dreams for the future... I think I'll skip that. Hobbies, I have lots of hobbies." Minaka rolled her eyes. "You there. Go next." He gestured at Naruto.
"I'm Naruto. I like ramen, I hate having to wait three minutes for it to cook. My hobby is eating and comparing ramen. And my dream... is to become Hokage! Then everyone'll respect me!" He smiled.
"Okay. Next" The three kids heads turned to Sakura.
"My name is Sakura Haruno. Something I like... well someone I like is..." She looked over at the ravenette. "And my hobby is..." She smiled. "And my dream for the future is..." She squealed.
"And something you hate?"
"Naruto!" she said in an angry tone.
"Girls your age are more interested in boys." Kakashi muttered.
"I'm Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things. I don't like anything. I don't have a hobby. My dream for the future is to restore my clan and kill a certain someone." He said with an emotionless face.
"Okay. Good you have you're own techniques and styles. That's great. Meet up tomorrow-"
"Wait." Naruto said. "How about Minaka?" Minaka stepped out from her hiding place.
"I'm Minaka... Uchiha." Sasuke's head turned and was suddenly interested. Naruto was looking in the distance, but was still listening. Sakura's was watching her, curious to what she was going to say. "I like..." She thought for a moment. "I like..." Her eyes peaked up at Naruto. Sakura's eyes widened. "I hate... my Kekki Genkai. My hobby is... I'd rather not say. And my dream for the future is..." They watched her emotionless face as she looked into the distance.
"We start our first mission tomorrow. Meet up in the forest. Oh yeah. Don't eat or you'll throw up."
Minaka walked through the town, when she someone behind her. "Minaka." She heard Sasuke's voice. She turned around.
"H-Hi, S-Sasuke."
"I've never seen you anywhere. Why not?"
"I um... hide from people."
"Why do you watch us from a distance?"
"I'm interested."
"What's your dream for the future?"
"I don't have one. I don't think of the future."
"Why not?"
"The past seems more important."
"Why don't you make a goal based on the past?"
"That never came to mind."
"Why do you hate sharingan?"
"..." She turned around and started to walk off. Sasuke grabbed her arm.
"Wait. Why do you like Naruto?"
"He's like me." She shook off his hand. "But I'm ten times worse." She ran off.
The next morning, they were all in the forest. All except Kakashi and Minaka. Sasuke leaned up against the tree, while Sakura and Naruto were standing sleepily in the clearing. Sasuke's head turned every time he heard a noise, thinking it was Minaka. Someone slowly walked out of the other side of the forest. Sasuke didn't think to look this time. "Hi Sasuke." It was Minaka this time.
"Hey." Sakura watched the two talk, and didn't notice the jealousy creeping up. He seemed more interested to talk to her rather than anyone else. Maybe talking to Naruto would make her jealous? She turned to Naruto.
"Hi Naruto."
"Hey Sakura." But Naruto seemed uninterested in talking to her and was concentrating on the other two talking. Sakura sighed and gave up.
Kakashi came. "What kinda mission is this?" asked Naruto.
"A survival game." Kakashi said. He held up three bells. "Take these bells away from me, and you get lunch."
"There's only three bells though." Minaka said.
"That doesn't matter. I'm ready!" Naruto held up one hand in a fighting stance. He ran at him with a kunai. In a split second, Kakashi was on top of Naruto, holding the kunai to his neck. The three gasped.
"I haven't even said start yet." Kakashi let him out. Naruto went back to the others. "Okay, start."
Two of the ninja jumped away, two were left standing. Minaka backed away as Naruto stepped forward. "Now it's time to really fight me! And this time I'll win. Believe it!"
