Right well... Some might remember the old version of this story, some might not and some might have never even read it! Well thing is, let's forget the last version and pretend it never existed! This is what counts! lol. Although I am terribly sorry that I took it down without the best of warnings! :x

Summary: Despite everything, she still had one person to go home to. He had no one. The girl thought he was lucky. He had been too young to remember the faces of his parents or the night they died. He was Uzumaki Naruto and she was Uchiha Ami.

Pairings? Yes there shall be many! Lol, I'll leave it at that for now... They're still only children after all! ^^

I only own Uchiha Ami, any other characters are owned by Kishimoto, our lovely, dear writer for Naruto... That loves confusing all our minds! :p Enjoy!

Chapter One

A blond mop of hair was seen bouncing across the entire village. A black pair of pigtails blew softly in the wind. The blond boy was causing havoc everywhere he went. The raven haired girl had all eyes on her wherever she went. These two children from Konoha had nothing and everything in common. Neither talked or ignored one another. They wouldn't interact, only stare. Silence was golden and it was all they had. The boy thought she was rather lucky. Despite everything, she still had one person to go home to. He had no one. The girl thought he was lucky. He had been too young to remember the faces of his parents or the night they died. He was Uzumaki Naruto and she was Uchiha Ami.

Kakashi swiftly made his way out of Iwa, his team following closely behind. It had been yet another successful mission with no major injuries whatsoever. Although he wasn't entirely in favour of helping ANBU retrieve this sort of information, he needed the money. ANBU paid their Shinobi's very well so it wasn't likely that he'd be ready to complain.
"Senpai, we should reach the village within the next hour." Cat said.
Kakashi nodded knowingly towards his peer. It was only then he recalled his previous meeting with the Hokage...

"Kakashi-kun! So nice to see you." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled as the masked man walked in.
"You wanted to see me, Hokage-sama." It was a statement, he meant business.
"I have something I'd like to ask you."

Kakashi sighed louder than he had initially wanted to. He wasn't entirely sure if what Hokage had asked of him would be the best idea. Was he even qualified for such a thing? He had definitely denied many other attempts before.
"Senpai, is everything alright?" Cat asked, worry clear in his voice.
"Yes." It was a lie. He wasn't sure how he felt at this moment. "Yes, everything is fine."

Naruto huffed angrily as a random villager guided him outside of the clothes shop. She kept muttering nonsense under her breath, most of which Naruto couldn't comprehend.
"But lady, I need new clothes! I'm getting taller and taller as we speak!" He shouted.
His attempts of breaking loose were cut short when the woman's big and buff husband appeared with a bat in hand. Naruto knew exactly what this meant. Time to run.

"Ami! You're going to be late for the Academy!" Sasuke shouted from the kitchen.
The smell of toast and warm milk filled the young girl's bedroom almost that very instant. Sasuke had certainly left her door open purposely. She groaned loudly, hoping to get a few extra minutes under her warm blankets. It was possibly warmer outside, but she believed nothing could convince her to jump out of bed right then and there.
"Don't make me go up there young lady! You know I will!"
Ami groaned once more. She silently wondered why Sasuke was quiet and emotionless around others. At home he was caring, often smiling and sometimes unreasonably loud. Ami almost cried when she felt her beloved covers being pulled away from her.
"I warned you." Sasuke smirked. "Now get up, get dressed and go eat breakfast. I haven't got all day."

"You are all dismissed." Sarutobi stated. He watched as everyone in the room began to leave, including the one person he wanted to stay. "Please stay behind, Hatake."
Kakashi had wished those three words hadn't been directed to him. 'Please stay behind' was the same as 'Made a decision?', and he wasn't exactly sure about anything. Kakashi removed his ANBU mask and sighed.
"I am not sure I'm the most qualified for this position-"
"Kakashi-kun, you and I both know why I have asked this of you. The boy is your former Sensei's son! I am sure that if Yondaime were to choose someone to teach his boy, it would be you. As for the other three... You could be a good solid leader figure to one of them and help two with your experience with that Sharingan."
"Hokage... Normally we form four-man cells with the Genin. How can you expect me to get along well with four children? It's not like I have the patience of Asuma or Kurenai." Kakashi said, trying his very best not to whine.
"I believe you can do this Kakashi." Sarutobi smiled. "Although... When it comes to missions higher than D-rank's, you will still have a four-man cell. At least for now."
Kakashi's face would've been priceless if it wasn't for the mask covering it. He mentally thanked himself.
"I'm not sure I follow."
"I'm not surprised." Sarutobi smiled. "Uchiha Ami isn't entirely ready to graduate, despite what her teachers believe. She is talented and strong, no doubt. I'm simply not convinced she's mature enough. For that reason, I'd like her to get the feeling of being a Genin through D-ranks. You'll determine when she's ready for something better."
Kakashi sighed very loudly. The thought of having the future of some random child in his hands only made him even more doubtful. But he was certain the Hokage still had many ways of convincing him to agree. Why waste the old man's time?
"Fine... I'll give it a try. But I'm failing them if they're not what I'm looking for."
Sarutobi laughed as the masked man walked out of his room.
"Minato would be proud."

"Squad Seven" Iruka shouted. "Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto!"
Cheers and groans could be heard from both Sakura and Naruto, although for different reasons. Sasuke remained with his eyes locked on the chalk board, not caring about his new teammate's loud voices.
"Your Jounin Sensei's shall meet you all later. Class dismissed!"
Naruto happily jumped down soon after the entire class was out. Iruka had noticed the boy had been rubbing his arm during the entire class. Was it something normal?
"Everything alright Naruto?"
"Why do they hate me?" Naruto whispered. "I know I'm not exactly the most discreet of people but..."
"Ignore the villagers, Naruto. They don't know better." Iruka sighed worriedly.
"Sure... I'll just go with that." Naruto frowned.

Iruka sat quietly, observing his students and taking notes. With one class fully gone, he was prepared to take on the next in line. He would frown every now and then, realizing they weren't much of a threat to anyone. He'd have his hands full this upcoming year. Only one seemed promising... Although it would be much easier to concentrate without all these distractions.
"Kakashi... If this is the tactic you use during missions, I'm surprised you're still alive."
Kakashi laughed as he jumped down from the tree. He silently took hold of Iruka's notes and read through.
"They don't seem very promising." He muttered.
"That's cruel, Kakashi." Iruka stated, grabbing his things back. "We haven't even started proper training yet. They're young and they have time."
"Well... I'm not here to discuss all your students with you. I'm here for just one."
Iruka looked at the man curiously.
"Aren't you supposed to be meeting your team?"
"Yes and I'll get there eventually. I need to meet this one first." He said, smiling through the mask.
Iruka looked around the grounds to see who would interest Kakashi to such a point. He frowned once realisation struck.
"Don't you dare. She's the best one of the bunch! You can't leave me without someone I can use as a solid example all the time."
Kakashi laughed once again.
"Of course I can... Besides, I'm doing this under orders of the Hokage."
Iruka sighed and called over his best student. Ami hesitantly approached the two men.
"Are you Uchiha Ami?" Kakashi asked in a monotone voice. The girl nodded slowly. "Good. Come with me."
She looked towards Iruka, possibly expecting him to disagree or at least give her some advice. Silence.
"Well, are you coming or not?" Kakashi called out.

So... Good? :p

I can't give you an exact date of when I'll update, it'll be hopefully soon! I am currently working on another story also (for those who read harry potter! :p) so please just bare with me! As I normally do, the next chapter will be up once I've finished writing it! ^^
