Chapter 1: a new shinning light

Beep Beep Be-SMASH Damn broken alarm clock naruto mumbled to himself as he got out of bed.

Well since I'm up so early I might as well go for a walk before breakfast.As he walked out of his three room apartment he made a mental note to himself to buy a new alarm clock. Naruto surveyed the beautiful landscape of konoha. The sun was just beginning to rise and there was a light breeze that wistled through his blond locks. He was dressed in a jet black very baggy shirt with long sleeves that reached all the way to his knuckles .His pants were standard leaf village shinobi pants except his were jet black like his shirt. A standard pair of shinobi sandles, kunai holster, tool pouch and leaf village headband tied around his left bicept completed his outfit. As he walked past ichiraku ramen which was closed to his dismay he spotted a familiar nara clan member sitting on a bench. Oi shikamaru, naruto called out in a attempt to get the young shadow user's attention. Oh naruto shikamaru said as he yawned and stood up to greet his friend I thought I was the only one who got up this early in the morning. I was so rudely woken up at this ungodly hour by my now busted alarm clock which always seems to go off at 5:00 in the morning naruto replied.

Oh shikamaru stated as he yawned again then that means you haven't had breakfast yet then.

Stunned at shikamarus statement naruto sweat dropped how the hell could you know that from what I told you. Naruto if I told you, you wouldn't understand so how about breakfast then oh and your buying.

WHAT!!! Naruto cried as he followed shikamaru to the place he knew shikamaru would want to go

"Tomako's pancake house".

After naruto and shikamaru finished eating had talked and had payed for there food they walked out into the street and sat down not realizing they had a unknown observer they began to talk about which team they hoped they would be put on today when realization hit them like a tonne of bricks. They where late for there last day of the academy. Damn it shikamaru I told you we shouldn't of had those extra pancakes naruto cried as he and shikamaru took to the rooftops to get to the academy faster. Hey why are you yelling at me for you where the one who couldent find his wallet naruto shikamaru replied hastily for once.

Well then I guess were both to blame naruto said as the touched down at the door of the academy.

As they silently entered classroom 209 they were greeted with a very pissed off iruka.

Well well well look who decided to show up. Naruto and shikamaru winced as they realized that there entire class was chuckling to themselves all except for two shino aburame and sauske uchiha. Is it really to much to ask that the two of you show up on time for your own graduation iruka steamed well I lost track of time at the pancake house shikamaru and naruto both replied at the same time. Save it said iruka take your seats so I can take attendance iruka snapped. As naruto and shikamaru took there seats iruka starts taking attendance haruno sakura, here she replied yamanaka ino present the blonde replied inuzuka kiba huh the dog boy grunted hyuuga hinata iruka called out when there was no reply he called again hyuuga hinata this perked naruto out of his dozing state cause he could have sworn he senced her tailing he and shikamaru this morning. Does anyone know if hinata is sick today iruka called out just as the door slamed open and there in the doors place was a very out of breath hinata . stunned iruka walked over to hinata and said I would expect this more from kiba, naruto and even shikamaru but not from you hinata. I'm very sorry iruka sensei

I was … uuhhhh I was…uummm. running an errand for me naruto butted in. WHAT!!!!!! Everyone in the room yelled out except for the two silent genin's, ya I asked her to run and get some extra ramen for me

Isn't that right hinata. Ummm y…yes naruto kun I put it in your m..mail box. Nice one hinata naruto thought to himself. Well I guess if that's the case then naruto can see me after class and explain why he made you do his work. Hinata gasped and nearly told iruka the truth that she was stalking naruto just to get him out of trouble. Fine it's not like I had anything planned anyway. Hinata gasped and nearly fainted when she relised that naruto was taking ALL the blame. Fine then it's settled hinata take your seat iruka said calmly

As hinata walked slowly to her seat she overheard many of her classmate telling naruto off about making a poor defencless girl do all his work. But as usual naruto brushed it off as he had become accustomed to being told off all his life. Now that everyones here we can finally announce the genin teams for this years graduating class. iruka said with a proud smile everyone suddenly became both hopeful and nervous all except for naruto,sauske,shino and shikamaru but first iruka said I have to use washroom. Everyone droped to the floor with a loud thud as iruka ran off everyone yelled HURRY UP!!!!!!! And he was gone like lightning.
