Hey guys! I re-wrote this story, thinking I could get all of this into one chapter, but I wanted each part to be longer, so I decided to do what I did before and do it a a multi-chapter. It won't be too long, but I'd rather it be a decent multi-chapter than a crappy oneshot.

Anyways, to those who are seeing this for the first time, I remember watching a AMV on YouTube with the song Remember the Name by Fort Minor with Team Gai. Absolutly loved it. The song itself is good, well, I think it is. So yeah, I took the chorus of the song and created this story. Hopefully, it's decent, because it has been on my mind forever!!

Okay, I dedicate this story to two of my peeps. One is my brother because he changed the lyrics to the song to actually go with Team Gai. And he better read it...NEJI! You better read it, and you better like it! Second, is my most favi reviewer and buddy of all time, Silvan Arrow! No matter how sucky my story is, she always reviews for it!! Thanks for the help and determination! I hope to not let you down!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or the song. If I owned Naruto, Sasuke would be dead, and he would die a painful death and everyone would laugh at him! If I owned the song, I would know Linkin Park personally!! And THAT is a dream I would love to have come true!!

Three teenagers, one teacher. Three Genin, one Jounin. Young academy graduates would be placed on squads with two of their classmates, and until promoted to another level, they trained, worked, and went on missions together. It was a usual principle every ninja land abided by.

Some ninjas were placed on squads no one thought would be great, and therefore, they never were. Some were told they would be great, and thus, created their downfall. Other squads were overlooked for those great groups that fell apart in the end, and no one ever heard about their potential.

But this squad was different. They were overlooked. No one gave them a chance. But they remained strong through their weakness, determined through their failure, successful through their pain. They were tough through it all, and one by one, people began to wonder who they were and how they were so strong.

For all of those who wanna know what we're all about, it's like this:

Now everyone will always remember the three members of Team Gai.

Remember: Team Gai
Ten percent luck:

It was early in the morning. The sun had not yet shown itself to the world, as there was no one there to greet it. The streets in Konoha were desolate and cold, not yet warmed by the sun. Citizens were still sleeping, the idea of work still far from their minds. It was one of the few times that you could hear nature at its fullest. But no one was there to hear it.

However, not everyone was asleep in the village. Aside those having just woken up from a nightmare, sickness and what not, there would always be the same four people up every morning before the rest of the village.

And this morning was not an unusual morning. Two people, dressed as twins in similar green attire, could be found running multiple laps around Konoha, exchanging "youthful" banter. Another could be found sitting quietly in a forest, eyes closed in deep meditation. The other could be found sleeping, just like all the other citizens.

The four people were to meet at their training grounds, just like any other day, at five in the morning. Sure it seemed hard to face the morning before the sun could face it, but Gai and Lee would claim it was to better their youth. Neji would claim it was the best time of day, with no distractions from other people (not counting Lee.) Tenten would claim it was too early in the morning, but best to get it over with.

It was ten minutes until the group had to meet. Neji was already there, taking the silence to heart before it was ruined by his overly energetic comrade and sensei. His overly energetic comrade and sensei were continuing their marathon, but today, they were a little behind on laps. Lee had shown up five minutes late and made a promise to his idol he would make that up with 100 extra laps. Gai was going to accompany him, only because his bright student had thought of such a grand punishment he never would have thought up himself.

And Tenten was still asleep.

Five minutes had passed, and Neji slowly began to wonder where his training partner was. She was usually at the field fifteen minutes early. She and Neji would often do a little training before Lee and Gai showed up to warm up. Lee and Gai usually arrived right on the dot. Anyone late, or arriving after they did, had to run 100 laps around Konoha and do 500 pushups before they began their daily routine. So if Neji and Tenten were there before Lee and Gai, everything was fine. Neji glanced down at his watch one last time, realizing she had two minutes to get there or he would be training alone for a good deal of the morning. But instead of going to get her, he leaned back against the tree and enjoyed the few minutes he had in silence.

-----

Tenten hit the snooze button again. How many times had she argued that five was too early? If Gai wanted her to be an outstanding ninja, she needed her sleep, too. She was in too much of a daze that she lost count of how many times she slammed her hand down on the stupid thing.

When it beeped again, she rolled over and shut it off completely. It was then that she realized what time it was. 4:59. In a split second she was out of bed and getting ready to go. She had a habit of hitting the snooze button a few times, but she would be out the door by quarter till. She did not want to be late and have to run, do pushups, and deal with Neji's harsh training methods all in one day. All those thoughts seemed to make her get ready faster.

However, she was still out the door at five. Maybe she could make up a story to lighten the punishment, so as she ran to the field, she tried to think of something. She could do the "I had a nightmare and didn't get that much sleep" story, but she had told that too many times for it to work again. So, she would claim she was sick and listen to Gai rant and rave about how she needed to take care of her health. But at least it wasn't running laps at five in the morning.

She came to the clearing where they met and leaned against a tree to catch her breath. She knew she had to have been five minutes late at least and was terrified to see Gai's reaction to her tardiness. She knew he would be unhappy, but this was a rare occurrence for her. Lee and Gai were always either right on time or a little late. She, on the other hand, was usually fifteen minutes early. Surely he would cut her some slack for being six minutes late on just one day.

She walked farther into the grove of trees that served as their training ground and prepared to hear the worst from her sensei. But it wasn't Gai's voice she heard. "You're late."

She turned to the voice and to her relief and shock, she only found Neji, sitting down against a tree. She looked around to see if Gai and Lee were there, but it was just Neji. "Where's Gai-Sensei?" she asked quietly, still a little out of breath.

Slowly, Neji stood up. "He's not here yet." Tenten was thrilled. As long as she beat them, she didn't have to do laps. Unless of course, Neji told on her. But she knew him well enough to know it was too beneath him to tattle on someone.

So far, she had one thing going right for her. "Wow, how did I manage to pick the day he was running behind too?" she said with a sigh.

Neji just smirked. "I guess you're lucky."
