My first story ever . I want to apologize for my grammatical mistakes . English is not my first language ...


Chapter 1 : Hello , new Team 7 !

It was still morning in Konoha when a boy with orange hair and a hitai-ate around his forehead was running towards the Ninja Academy . He was one of the last ones to arrive .

Hope I'm not late again!"the boy thought to himself.

As he finally open the door of his classroom , all the eyes in the room turned towards him.A taller scared-man with a hitai-ate around his forehead was looking at him with impatient eyes . The boy gulped loudly before going to his seat , which was very close to the door.

The scared-man continued , like nothing happened , but still annoyed by the fact that the younger one was once again late for class.

„Now that Haru honored us with his presence"he said glaring at the orange-haired boy ,"lets announce the teams!"

„Psst , Yurushi!"the now-known Haru called out for the boy next to him."What did I miss?"

„Nothing important . Iruka-sensei was talking about some boring stuff."came the response from a boy with green hair and green eyes.

„But what about the teams?"

„They put us in a 3 man cell with a jounnin as our captain , although he didn't say why. Then , you showed up."Yurushi said while resting his head on his hands.

„And now ... Team 7 : Misao Kimura...Masaru...and Haru Tanaka."the older chunnin said , making Haru dropped off of his seat."WHAT?!"the newly-made gennin exclaimed after he raised himself from the floor.

Iruka glared at him."What's now , Haru?"the chunnin instructor asked annoyed.

„Why did you put me in the same team as that bastard!"the boy yelled while pointing at a boy with brown hair , green eyes and a white scarf around his neck who was standing in the back of the class . Iruka signed.

„We had to do this in order to balance the team . As Masaru here is the rookie of the year and you are the dead last..."as the words came out of Iruka's mouth , Haru's face fell at the statement."...it would only be reasonable for you two to be put in the same team."the chunnin said as a matter-of-fact.

A girl with long red hair turned her gaze at the currently depressed boy and then turned to the one known as Masaru.

„Well , lets see what will come out of this."said the girl with her chin leaning on her hand.

Some time later...

After two hours of waiting , the door of the class where the currently Team 7 was waiting opened revealing a taller man with spiky blond hair and whisker marks on both of his cheeks . He was wearing the usual jounnin uniform . Whith a grin on his face , he addressed to the three pre-teens in the room.

„Hey , guys !What's up?"said the blond jounnin.

The three gennins stared at him for almost an eternity until the boy with spiky orange hair spoke:

„YOU'RE LATE!"Haru yelled , pointing at the jounnin . The girl with long red hair and grey eyes glared at him . She had her hair brushed in a high ponytail with two locks of hair framing her face and was wearing a dark blue Chinese dress with arm-bands and a pair of ninja sandals . Her hitai-ate was around her forehead.

„SHUT UP , YOU IDIOT!"Misao yelled at the orange-haired boy before punching him in the face , sending him in the nearest wall . The jounnin sweetdroped at the girl's antics.She's just like Sakura-chan , he thought a little nostalgic about his old friend.

„Okay...Now , met me on the roof in 5 minutes."Naruto said before dissapearing in a cloud of smokes . Without anything else to say , Masaru got out of the room . Misao followed him closely , letting the orange-haired boy alone , still unconscious because of her blow . After 5 minutes , he finally weak up , finding himself the only one left in the room.

„Crap!They left me here!"he thought in a depressed mode.

Several minutes later...

When Haru arrived on the roof , he had find the rest of team 7 waiting for him . Naruto raised his eyes at the 3 gennins after Haru settled himself between Masaru and Misao."Okay , now that we're all presents , lets introduce ourself!Tell me your likes , dislikes , hobbies and dreams."the blond jounnin said.

Naruto sit down on a rail , while the gennins choose to stay on the stairs . The blond couldn't help but think about his first day as a ninja.

„So , lets start with carrot-boy!"he said pointing at the annoyed orange-haired boy.

Haru glared at him , before he talked:"Name's Haru Tanaka . I like my sister , I dislike ..."and as he said so , he looked at the boy next to him"...Masaru-teme . My hobbies are to train and to sleep . And my dream is ... TO BECOME THE NEXT HOKAGE!"he yelled the last statement showing his fist . Misao and Masaru sweetdroped at their teammante's behaviour while Naruto was grinning at him.

"I like this one",Naruto thought to himself . He somewhat saw his old self in Haru that made him think this way . He pointed at the red-haired girl.

„I'm Misao Kimura.I like to visit my brother Shin and to train . I dislike the ones who are stupid and those who think they're better than anyone else . My hobby is to spend my free time with my best friend , Sanjuro . And my dream is to revive the Kimura clan!"she said with a serious face . Naruto then look at the last member of team 7."And the last one..."

„My name is Masaru . Honestly , I don't like anything else beside training . Dislikes... I have a lot of them . I don't have a hobby or anything like that and my dream...no , my ambition is to become strong and to surprass a certain someone."Masaru said with a cold voice . Naruto sighed at the boy's words.

„If I didn't know better , I would say this boy is Sasuke-teme's clone from when we were kids",the blond jounnin thought before he raised from his spot.

He crossed his arms before he continued.

„Well , I guess we're done with the introductions..."but was shortly interrupted by the orange-haired boy."Wait a second!Why don't you introduce youself like we did?"Haru asked him.

„Very well then."Naruto said."My name's Naruto Uzumaki.I like ramen and other thinks I wouldn't bore you with.I dislike a lot of things and as for my dream...I prefer to keep that for myself."

Haru and Misao sweetdroped at the jounnin's introduction.

"All we know about him is his name and that he like ramen."Misao thought with narrowed eyes . Haru's thoughts were the same , while Masaru didn't seem to care at all.

„Now that we are done with the introductions...I guess I should tell you about our little game."the Kyuubi vessel said with a grin.

„What game?"Misao asked confused.

„A game or more of an exam in which I would see if you guys are ready to become gennins . Just because you passed the final test at the Academy , that doesn't make you ninjas.I'm the one who will decide that tomorrow morning at the training ground #7 . As advice : sleep well tonight and try to skip breakfast if you don't want to throw up."

The three gennins nodded and Naruto continued:

„Also , you should bring all the shinobi equipment you have . You may need them."

Misao gulped , thinking about tommorow."I can't lose".She raised her eyes at the blond-haired jounnin."I have to become a shinobi no matter what it takes".

„Questions?"Naruto asked the 3 gennins.

Neither of them didn't say a think . Naruto made it all clear . But before he let them go , the blond jounnin added something more :"Oh , I almost forgot . The chances to fail this exam are over 66%."This words made Haru turn pale , thinking of the worst that can happen.

„What kind of ‚game' he's planning for us?"Masaru thought , narrowing his eyes.

„Well , see you tomorrow mornning at 7am . See ya!"Naruto said dissapearing in a cloud of smokes.

And with that , Haru , Masaru and Misao leave the roof of the Academy , each one of them with different thoughts about tomorrow's exam.
