As you can probably gather from the title the is a story about my oc's but there will be cameos from the main cast. Flames are not appreciated (Seriously I rewrote this chapter like 20 times.) but feedback is! If you have suggestions on how to make my writing better don't be shy, I already know I suck. :-)

"Ok kids," The blonde sensei announced, "I'm going to announce your team assignments now!"

The children settled down, their eyes wide with excitement. They had been waiting hours for this moment and it filled them with all sorts of questions...

Who'd be paired with who? Who'd get the coolest sensei? Who'd get the dead last on their team? Who'd get the toppers? Would they get along with their teammates at all?

For many of newly turned shinobi it was a matter of who would get Momoko Watanabe on their genin squad. They gazed shamelessly at the twelve year old kunoichi, who sat in the front of the room, all of her attention focused on her nails.

With her soft, orange hair—almost peach in color and her big baby blue eyes she was what hormonal boys wanted and insecure girls wanted to be.

Satoshi Igakumo ran a hand through his red hair and sighed from his seat in the back of the room. He personally would've preferred if Momoko wasn't placed on his team, she was lacking in everything but genjutsu and what good is casting an illusion if you don't have the strength or chakra control to back it up? She was just another hopeless kunoichi in his eyes, one that would probably get bored, quit after a few low-level missions and become a housewife.

Satoshi concluded though, that since he was one of the most skilled rookies, second only to Neji Hyuga, he'd probably get one of the top kunoichi on his team; it was an obvious pattern followed every year. That meant he'd probably have Takami Torikawa on his team. He honestly could care less if she was put on his team but it would certainly be a better outcome than most of the other so-called kunoichi in his class. She was one of the few who didn't dote on boys or her appearance, she'd even come into school one day with her curly pastel blue locks cut to chin length claiming that long hair would only get in the way if she were to encounter an enemy.

The downside to being one of the highest ranked rookies in his class was that he'd probably get one of the students with the lowest grades in the class,meaning he would either get Rock Lee or Makoto Hyuga. Rock Lee was hard working boy who never gave up and although that was something that Satoshi would usually commend, the boy had absolutely no skill in Ninjutsu or Genjutsu! Chakra was a big part in being a ninja and Satoshi just wasn't sure Lee's Taijutsu skills would get him far. Then there was Makoto Hyuga, a boy who hailed from the same clan as neji. As if it wasn't enough that the boy had some of the lowest scores in the class, he also couldn't activate his kekki genkai ability; the one thing that proved one's worth in a bloodline clan. Satoshi sighed, both ninja were over-enthusiastic and wouldn't know the meaning of quiet if it stabbed them in the face with a kunai. On the slim chance that he did get Takami or another somewhat decent kunoichi on his team it wouldn't change the fact that he'd still have to deal with one of them.

Satoshi let out another sigh and put his head down. He'd just have to wait and see what his team would be like.

Makoto on the other hand, could barely contain his excitement. He was gonna be a real ninja starting today!

His thoughts drifted to visions of himself jumping across the rooftops of Konoha, defeating bad guys, and being named the hokage.

Makoto could only hope that he'd get a great genin team, meaning that there'd be no Satoshi in sight.

The two had a long-standing hatred of one another that went back as far as their first year at the academy. No one could really pin-point what exactly had started it but one thing that Makoto knew for sure was that Satoshi was a know-it-all asshole with anger issues and a superiority complex.

"Makoto!"

Makoto was jerked out of his thoughts by a tap on the shoulder, he turned behind him to see his friend, Ookami looking down at him from his seat in the upper row.

"Jeez dude. Don't zone out or you'll miss your team assignment!" Ookami said as he pet the head of his ninken. "Then you won't be a ninja at all."

Makoto scoffed. "Whatever dog breath, i'm gonna be an elite ninja and the hokage to boot! Right Tofu?"

The dog wiggled out of Ookami's grasp and jumped into Makoto's lap. She licked Makoto's cheek affectionately.

"Tofu you traitor!"

"Mr. Inuzuka would you mind being quiet? You might not be serious about your ninja career but your classmates are!"

Ookami slouched in his seat. "Yes sensei." He muttered in a small voice as the glass giggled at his misfortune.

Makoto laughed into Tofu's fur as the tips of Ookami's ears reddened.

~o~

"Team two will consist of Ookami Inuzuka," The sensei took in a breath as if perparing herself to read the next name. "Momoko Watanabe..."

There were a series of excited gasps as unpicked shinobi and kunoichi alike sat up straight and hoped that their names were called next.

"And Hisoka Sato!"

A head of lavender hair reluctantly lifted off of the desk to see half of the class openly glaring at him and voicing their frustrations. He let out a small squeak and put his head back down.

"Team three," Asuka-sensei announced, "will consist of Neji Hyuga, Tenten, and Rock Lee."

Satoshi inwardly hung his head at this as Lee jumped out of his seat in excitment. Not only did Neji get a decent kunoichi on his team but he also got Rock Lee meaning that if his predictions were right he'd be stuck with Makoto.

"Lee please sit down." their sensei sighed as she continued the list. "Team four will consist of Takami Torikawa, Ayato Uzuki, and Harume Kasaiko."

Satoshi's sigh of disappointment was hidden as a loud scream of joy came out of the girl next to him. She stood up, bristling with excitement.

"Oh yeah!" She cried, smiling at her new teammates.

"Harume, lower your voice." Asuka sighed as she continued her list. "Team five's members will be Satoshi Igakumo, Makoto Hyuga-"

Satoshi slammed his head into the desk and Makoto rose from his seat in anger.

"Sensei with all due respect, you can't put me with that asshole! It's totally unfair!"

"And I don't want to be on a team with him either! The idiot will only slow me down!" Satoshi added on. He'd had his fill of Makoto during the academy, if he got stuck hearing his voice on a daily basis he was sure he would become a missing-nin.

"Enough!" Asuka-sensei. "A shinobi is nothing without trusted comrades standing by their side! You two didn't even ask what your other teammate thought of the arrangements."

"Who's are other teammate then!" Makoto demanded angrily.

Asuka resisted the urge to strangle the Hyuuga and sighed. "Your teammate is Hitomi Shiruyama."

A girl with hair the color of raspberries turned away from the window at the mention of her name and blushed in embarrassment as the class focused their attention on her.

Makoto weighed his options and sat back down. He didn't like Satoshi but having Hitomi on his team didn't seem so bad.

Ookami tapped Makoto on the shoulder. "Dang man, tough luck."

"What do you mean?" Makoto questioned as he leaned his head back to look at his friend.

"Well i've got the hottest girl in our year on my team." Ookami said with a dreamy look on his face. "And you've got the one guy you hate the most and Hitomi on yours."

"What's wrong with Hitomi?"

"Dude, she's a complete loner and she's super weird!"

Makoto turned in his seat to look at Hitomi. The class has all turned back to their sensei and Hitomi went back to looking out of the window. After a while of staring Hitomi turned and met his gaze, only to quickly turn away with a blush on her face.

He turned back to Ookami. "She doesn't look weird to me." Makoto smiled. "In fact, she's kinda cute in an awkward sort of way."

Ookami sighed. "Whatever dude." He leaned back in his seat. "You do you."

Satoshi looked to his former sensei to protest but decided against it when she turned to glare at him, daring him to say something else.

'It could be worse.' Satoshi thought to himself. It was true, Satoshi could've been stuck with a boy-crazy kunoichi who was more interested in her outfit than the success of a mission instead of an awkward and timid Hitomi who had enough sense as to not get herself killed.

"Fine." Satoshi mumbled as he slumped in his seat and that was enough for Asuka-sensei to nod and continue listing teams.

~o~

"This sucks." Makoto complained as he leaned against the teacher's podium and bounced a small rubber ball repeatedly against the wall. "When is our sensei gonna get here? Everyone already left with theirs."

"How would I know?" Satoshi grumbled from his seat in the back of the class. He put his head down intent on taking a nap. "Just shut the hell up and be patient."

"I wasn't talking to you asshole!"

Satoshi rolled his eyes and muttered a "Whatever." before drifting off into sleep.

Makoto sighed in boredom. He really needed something else to do. He hadn't really thought to bring anything to school today except the weapons in his hip pouch and the clothes on his back, he had borrowed the ball Ookami.

"Hey Hitomi, I guess we're teammates now huh?" He smiled as he pocketed the ball walked over to where she was sitting and sat down next to her.

Hitomi nodded.

Ok, this conversation was getting nowhere.

"What do you think our sensei's gonna be like?" Makoto asked, desperately hoping for something other than the awkward silence that hung over their heads. "I hope they're not too strict."

"Me too."

Makoto fought the urge to sigh aloud as Hitomi reached into her schoolbag.

She pushed food wrappers, old homework assignments, and a book on fuuinjutsu out of the way and pulled out a small paperback book. Makoto looked at the familiar green cover and smiled in excitement.

"Hey, is that the new issue of Senshi Kuesuto?!"

Senshi Kuesuto was a weekly manga written by a writer using the acronym 'MI', and was filled with the action-packed adventures of a rouge ninja named Akihiko who was on a quest to repent for his crimes. Due to the over exaggerated story-telling and frequent appearance of under dressed damsels in distress the series was a hit with male readers so Makoto was surprised to see Hitomi reading it.

"What? How did yo—I mean—no it's not!" Hitomi stuttered quickly moved to hide the book behind her back. She didn't want him to see it.

"It totally is! I can see the cover." Makoto gestured to the book.

Hitomi sighed in defeat and pulled the manga back out.

"Why're you hiding it anyway?" Makoto asked.

"Well it's kinda childish to be reading this since we're ninja and all don't you think? And everyone says that it's completely unrealistic and—"

"Who cares what everyone says!"

"But-"

"Senshi Kuesuto is one of the best mangas out there and you shouldn't let anyone tell you what you can and can't read!"

Hitomi smiled. "Yeah, I guess you're right."

"I know I am! Since you're out of your funk let's talk about how awesome the newest issue is."

"I know right!" Hitomi exclaimed, all traces of her previous shyness gone. "Maybe Tsubaki will finally forgive Akihiko for betraying her!"

Makoto smiled to himself as he watched Hitomi dissolve into a long explanation on why she thought Tsubaki would decide to travel with Akihiko.

"Hey Hitomi?"

Hitomi stopped her rant and looked at Makoto with wide eyes. "I'm sorry!" She squeaked. "I didn't m-mean to go on like that."

"No it's alright Hitomi!" Makoto waved his hands quickly. He didn't want her to think that she did anything wrong. "I was just wondering if you wanted to be friends."

Hitomi blinked. No one had ever offered to be her friend before. She nodded vigorously, "I would like that very much."

~o~

An hour had passed and their sensei still wasn't there. Satoshi sighed and rubbed his eyes. He was hoping that by the time he woke up their sensei would have arrived.

Hitomi was sitting atop her desk reading a manga that Satoshi could recall seeing in the window of local bookstore when he walked by it to get to school and Makoto stood behind her, reading over her shoulder and pointing at pictures he found interesting.

They had become friends in hour. Instead of worrying about what his two teammates considered friends Satoshi perked up at the sound of someone running through the academy hallway.

"I'm here!" An out of breath voice cut through the comfortable silence. "Sorry i'm—late!"

The three genin looked up their respective activities to see a man dressed in the standard jounin gear run into the classroom.

"I accidentally—overslept! Were you guys—waiting long?" The man seemed ready to collapse. "Do any of you—have anything to drink?"

"You do realize that it's two in the afternoon, right?" Satoshi asked and walk down the to the front of the class. He sat down exactly one desk away from his teammates as Makoto reached into his school bag.

"Yes, yes I do." The man said. "But unlike you I am a ninja who goes on missions so I have a legitimate reason to be late."

Satoshi scowled and Makoto snickered as he held out a juicebox to the man.

The man took the drink. "Thanks."

He opened the juice and took a long sip.

"Now then," The man set down the juicebox. "I am Shidamo Kashiwa and i'm gonna be your jounin sensei!"

The three genin stared at him in disbelief.

"Jeez no round of applause?" He was met with silence. "You kids sure are a tough crowd."

"no, you're just an idiot." Satoshi muttered under his breath.

Shidamo ignored the comment. "So kids tell me about yourselves!"

"Aren't you a kid too?" Satoshi asked as he looked over their sensei.

His unruly brown hair that came down to his chin, kept back by his forhead protector, tan skin, and his bright green eyes gave Satoshi the impression of Shidamo only being a few years older than himself.

"I'm not a kid!" Shidamo growled. "I happen to be eighteen for your information."

"You're barely an adult!"

"But I still am one so shut up and listen."

Satoshi rolled his eyes.

"What do ya need to know sensei?" Makoto said, his Hyuuga eyes sparkling with excitement.

"I'll give an example, so listen closely." Shidamo cleared his throat. "My name is Shidamo Kashiwa but you guys can call me Shida-sensei. My one of my strengths is Taijutsu and a weakness I have is Genjutsu. My favorite color is orange, I like going on escort missions because of the fun people you can meet, I dislike check-ups, I like really spicy foods, my least favorite food is Natto—seriously that stuff is disgusting, and my goal for the future is to live a happy life." Shidamo smiled. "Now it's your turn! Hyuga you go first."

"Ok!" Makoto sat up straight. "I'm Makoto Hyuga! My strength is seeing through Genjutsu and my weakness is not being able to activate my Byakugan. My favorite color is blue, I like reading manga and hanging out with my friends, I dislike tests, my favorite foods are yakisoba-pan and himono but if I had to choose i'd definitely go with yakisoba-pan, my least favorite food is shiokara, and my goal for the future is to become the Hokage!"

"Alright you're next." Shidamo said as he nodded towards Hitomi.

"My name is Hitomi Shiruyama. My strength is my ability to sense chakra and my weakness is that if i'm around too many chakra signatures I get overwhelmed, I get headaches and a few times i've even passed out. My favorite color is green. I like reading and feeding the birds. I dislike bullies, my favorite food is omurice while my least favorite is umeboshi, and I don't really have a goal yet."

Shidamo gave a thumbs up and turned to Satoshi. "Alright kid, you're the only one left so get to talking."

Satoshi sighed.

"My name is Satoshi Igakumo. My strength is my good chakra control and I don't have any weaknesses."

Shidamo chuckled and Makoto muttered something under his breath. Satoshi gave them both a look and continued.

"My favorite color is red, I like reading and training, I dislike annoying people, my favorite food is tonkatsu and i don't like sashimi, my goal for the future is to become a great medic ninja."

Makoto bit down on a laugh and covered his mouth with his hands. A medic ninja? Wasn't that a girly job?

Satoshi apparently heard him and turned around. "Something funny Hyuga?" He growled.

"What's it to you tomato-head? What I find funny is none of your business!"

"What did you call me—"

"Welp, now that introductions are done I guess we're done for today." Shidamo smiled at his new students as he effectively cut off the growing argument. "Be sure to meet me at training ground thirteen at six o' clock sharp! That's when we'll begin training!"

And with that Shidamo bid his farewells leaving his students to their own devices.

The three newly-turned genin reached for their bags and were about to leave when Shidamo came bounding back into the room.

"On second thought, meet me at Ichiraku Ramen!"

Satoshi turned to his teammates after Shidamo ran off to see that he wasn't the only one in disbelief. Hitomi and Makoto both had various degrees of 'What the hell' written on their faces.

"Why would we meet at a ramen shop at the crack of dawn?" Hitomi asked as she hitched her bag up on her shoulder.

"I don't know." Hitomi jumped when Makoto suddenly appeared next to her. "He seems like a pretty weird guy but he also seems really cool so maybe he's gonna take us out to eat before we train."

"Maybe." Hitomi smiled. She doubted that was the case but she didn't want to put Makoto down.

Satoshi, on the other hand was happy to.

"That's the dumbest thing i've ever heard." Satoshi said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Makoto immediately turned around and growled. "What's that supposed to mean!"

Hitomi quickly left the classroom before she could get caught in the escalating argument.
