Naruto: An Extra Member
Author's note: Hello readers. Just a few things to straighten out before you start reading this awesome (haha) fanfiction. 1: This is my first try, so give me some sort of leeway. 2: I never really intended this to go on , but a friend flogged my laptop and put it on, so sorry that the 'chapters' (or über-chapters, as I like to call them) are frikin' huge. 3: Please, I like 'constuctive criticism', but just hating the book because I can't write really annoys me. If you don't like it, by all means, state why. Last but not least, thank you for taking the time to grade and review my work (hopefully). Just in case some are wondering, yes, Adam is based off me. Sort of...
Naruto Uzumaki was excited. Who wouldn't be? Today was the day he and all the other children from the Village Hidden in the Leaves will become Genin, the lowest rank of ninja. He sat down, not bothering to look around, his mind totally focused on becoming a ninja. He was woken out of his stupor when he heard a voice to his right,
"Hey, Naruto, do you think you could move for a sec?"
He looked to his right and saw Sakura Haruno, the girl of his dreams.
"You want to sit next to me?" he asked, hardly daring to believe his luck.
"You? Of course not you, I want to sit next to Sasuke," she said, shattering his dreams.
He looked to his left and saw a ninja by the name of Sasuke Uchiha.
Naruto grumbled to himself, Why is it ALWAYS him, it's not like he's cool or anything. How wrong he was. Almost all the girls swooned over him, trying to gain his affections, even though it was all for nought.
Then, with a bang and a puff of smoke, Iruka materialised in the middle of the room, startling a few kids in the room, Naruto included,
"Hello there," he said, "I assume you all know why you're here? Yes? Good. Now, in a couple of seconds, the Jonin will enter, and select you to form 3-man squads. You have no choice who you're going to be teamed up with. We tried to even out all the teams."
With a chain-reaction of bangs and smoke, all 10 Jonin appeared in the room, startling Naruto again.
"And here they are," continued Iruka Sensei, "Honourable Jonin, I leave them in your...capable...hands."
So saying, and using a Teleportation Jutsu, disappeared.
So the Choosing began. Naruto didn't really listen to the other names, just waiting for his and Sakura's, to see if they were going to be in the same squad. Finally...
"Squad 7, under the instruction of Sensei Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki..." Naruto waited to hear what he wanted to... "Sakura Haruno..." Naruto punched the air, while Sakura's head thumped into the desk, then..."and Sasuke Uchiha." Now it was her turn to punch the air while Naruto's head thumped the desk.
Behind him, a girl called Hinata sighed to herself, she missed being out in Naruto's squad. She harboured a long-standing crush on Naruto, but being shy and quiet, didn't say anything, just hoping one day that he'd pick up the hidden message in her eyes.
Just as the Choosing was coming to a close, the door opened, and in walked Iruka Sensei again, following behind him was a strange looking kid, he looked like he didn't come from Hidden Leaf Village. After a quick consultation with the Jonin, he turned back to the assembled kids,
"This boy's name is Adam Gale, he came from overseas, and he wished to become a ninja."
At this, almost all the kids in the room cracked up laughing, the rest barely holding it in.
"Before you all laugh too much, with no training and exercises you have had, he not only completed the acceptance trials in record time, but with 100% rating."
This shut the room up real fast, for no one else had ever gotten 100%, the closest being Sasuke with 96%. Someone yelled out,
"What was his time?"
"Sasuke's record time is 13:42:73. Adam's was 5:00:00," answered Iruka
The room was dead silent.
"The Jonin have all agreed," Iruka continued, "that he will join Squad 7 with Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke."
"Your new Sensei will tell you when and where to meet them tomorrow. Dismissed."
