Summary: What if the Naruto Gang were split off into different teams, and Lee TenTen and Neji were assigned teams at the time of Naruto? Here is the story of Naruto if this happened. (Assume that Neji and TenTen trained by themselves at the request of there clans before being put into a team.) The story starts after the Mizuki incedent when they are assigned teams.
Chapter one: Teams
"Alright, all of you who graduated will now be put in three man cells, remember that there will be two people from last year in the selection, so don't be surprised if you here Neji or TenTen," said Iruka as he listed off teams. Eventually he got to team seven, "Team Seven will be Yamanako Ino, Akimichi Choji, and Nara Shikamaru. Team Eight will be Haruno Sakura, Hyuuga NEji, and Uchiha Sasuke. Team Nine will be TenTen, Kiba, and Shino. And Finally Team Ten, Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuuga Hinata, and…." Iruka paused at the last name on the list, Rock Lee? He was a dropout from Last year, how did he end up on the list. The only time that happens is when a Jounin selected to teach the Genin makes a special request which rarely happens, but why was it Kurenai's Cell? She didn't even know the boy? Then he figured it out. Gai probably cried until she agreed, "Rock Lee, tomorrow at eight you are all to report to your training ground which will be on the paper outside. I look forward to all of you becoming exceptional Ninja," and with that Iruka left and the Ninja Dispersed.
"Wow!" cried Sakura walking with Ino, "I can't believe I'm paired with Sasuke!"
"Oh shut up Fore head Girl," replied Ino bitterly.
"That's right, you got paired with that lazy Idiot Shikamaru didn't you?" the two proceeded to insult Eachother.
"Hey Shikamaru!" waved Choiji while eating his chips, "Its great we're on the same team isn't it?"
"Yeah, but that Ino girl is too, how troublesome," replied Shikamru.
Naruto was a little upset he didn't get to be on Sakura's team, but decided it was probably better for the training if they weren't together. He didn't really know anything at all about Hinata, even though she always seemed to be near him in the academy. She really didn't talk a lot and avoided most people, which Naruto thought was a little weird. He didn't think much of it and went out to ramen to celebrate his new rank.
Hinata began to blush deeply with her face hidden behind a book. I'm with Naruto-kun? She though to herself. To avoid being seen she quickly ran home, to embarrassed by the redness of her face to do anything today. She stayed at home the remainder of the day, doing Hinata things.
Lee got up in the morning remembering the Letter he got from Gai a while he was outside training. The letter read,
Dear Lee,
I'm sorry but I am far to busy to be your sensei for the Cells, I have, however, talked a friend in requesting you for their team. You will be in team Ten with Kurenai as your Sensei, sorry to write briefly but I'm in a hurry,
Love, Gai.
"Yes!" yelled Lee with Joy. Since Lee hadn't spent much time with guy he hadn't rubbed off to much yet, for Lee still had his hair back in the ponytail and the white jacket he used to wear. He was slightly disappointed since Gai wouldn't be his Sensei this year, but was thrilled to have any team at all. He celebrated by doing a large number of training regiments for the day.
