"Iruka, I am allowing you to choose any three jounin of your choice to help you in your graduation exam."
Iruka smiled, "Thank you Lord Hokage, I'd like to have Sakura, Kakashi, and Neji. I also need the to know which jounin are going to be taking a genin team."
"Yes.. I would have it but Naruto has asked to see me before I hand in the list, so report back around 5 and I'll be able to give it to you."
"Thank you for the jounin, and I'll be back at 5." Tsunade was starting to get a headache, which wasn't surprising considering she would be meeting with Naruto soon. "He better have a good reason for seeing me," she thought.
-3 Hours Later-
"Lord Hokage, I came here to request that I be able to make my own team with the genins," informed Naruto. "I figured you had a reason for asking me to keep the list. I don't see any reason for you not to choose you're team so I will allow this."
"It won't take to long, I know who I want. I request you put the Seto Uchiha, Akabo Inuzuka, and Ryu Hyuuga," throughout all of this, Naruto hadn't shown any emotion on his face. In fact Tsunade was starting to miss the loudmouth ninja that had been so popular throughout the viilage. Ever since the dead of Hinata, he hadn't been the same. This is the first time she had seen him, not counting assigning missions.
"You realize that having the heir to the Uchiha and Hyuuga clan will be alot of work?" he just nodded, "Well then I will allow these kids to be the next team 7."
"Thank you Lord Hokage." With that he was gone. She was hoping that by taking a genin team, they could bring out his old self. This new gloomy Naruto just wasn't right.
-Sasuke's House-
"Dad! Tomorrow is the graduation exams and I'm gonna try to be top of my class," exclaimed Seto.
"Son, being top of your class isn't what matters. As long as you graduate I'll be happy." "But dad! You were top of your class, and so was Itachi. I don't wanna break the tradition." Just as he said that Sakura walked in.
"Son can you leave me and your father alone for a second I need to talk to him," he seemed like he was about to argue but saw her face and decided against it.
"What is it Sakura?" "Naruto has requested to be Seto's instructor and I told Tsunade it was fine. She thinks it may bring him out of the state he's in. Plus he's one of the most skilled ninja in Konoha! You too are even in skills not to mention he spent the last two years of his life as as ANBU."
"Sakura, I don't need to be convinced. Naruto is my best friend, even though we don't talk as much there's noone I'd want to teach our kid more then him. And if he goes back to himself that's an added bonus."
"I knew you wouldn't mind! Oh Iruka has asked that I help out in the graduation exam so I won't be here tomorow."
