I don't own Naruto. The idea for this fanfic came from Raw by ContraryMaryBee.
Chapter 1: Intro
A blonde boy walked down the street. He wore black shorts with a dark orange shirt and a black vest. His weapons pouch was on his hip. He was grinning, but his eyes held malice. He was joined by a brunette boy wearing black shorts with a black shirt. The brunette boy appeared bored, but if one looked closely, they could see the malice in his eyes.
"So Naruto, anything interesting happen?" the brunette asked. The blonde boy, Naruto, shook his head.
"This village is so stinkin' boring! There's nothing to do!" he complained. He looked at his companion and continued,
"But you would know that better than anyone, wouldn't you Shikamaru?" The brunette, Shikamaru, chuckled and was about to reply when a feminine voice cut in.
"Naruto! Shikamaru! You won't believe how wonderful a dream I had," a blonde girl wearing a black and purple dress with black shorts called as she approached. When she reached them, she sighed and continued,
"I had this wonderful dream of being on the battlefield. There was blood everywhere and I killed so many people!" Naruto looked jealous while Shikamaru just shrugged.
"Anyway, we'd better get to the academy. Today is exam day," he said. The three students immediately leapt into a race to the academy. They arrived at the same time, not even winded. They went to class. As the walked in, the room fell silent. Most of the students were scared of the three kids who walked in. They sat down, smirking at the silence. Naruto could feel the Uchiha heir glaring at him. Shikamaru felt a pity look and spun around glaring at the person who gave them the pity look. He turned back around and laid his head down on the desk. Ino wasn't paying attention to the other students. Instead she was cleaning and sharpening some of her weapons. Their teacher, Iruka, walked in and cleared his throat.
"Alright class, it's time to start the written test." He handed out the test. Naruto didn't even bother looking at it. Shikamaru finished it in five seconds and resumed his nap. Ino doodled on her test, humming a tune under her breath. The test time finished and Iruka called for them to hand their tests in.
"Now, it's time for the practical portion," he said, leading the class outside.
"I will call students alphabetically. When it's your turn try to hit the target," Iruka instructed. Naruto, Ino and Shikamaru shared some snickers.
"Aburame, Shino!" The boy from the clan of bug users stepped forward. The shuriken and kunai were close to the middle of the target.
"Akimichi Choji!" The chubby boy stepped forward. His shuriken were all over the target.
"Haruno Sakura!" The pink haired girl stepped up. Her's was reasonably good, considering she came from a civilian family.
"Hyuuga Hinata!" The shy girl stepped up. Her kunai hit the target dead center.
"Inuzuka Kiba!" The brash boy came forward. His shuriken were all over the place.
"Nara Shikamaru!" Silence fell as he stepped forward. His shuriken hit the target close enough to the center that it would be a lethal blow anyways.
"Uchiha Sasuke!" The Uchiha heir stepped up. His shuriken hit the target dead center.
"Uzumaki Naruto!" The boy stepped forward. His kunai hit dead center and buried themselves up to the hilt.
"Yamanaka Ino!" The blonde girl stepped forward. Her kunai and shuriken were all over the target. The teachers could barely see the target. The teachers led them back inside.
"Wait for us to call your name," Iruka said. Chaos broke out after the teachers left. Sasuke marched over to where Naruto sat.
"Why are you acting so tough? You're not so strong," he sneered. Naruto's glare stopped him in his tracks.
"Go away. You're interrupting my naptime," Shikamaru grumbled. However right then, Shikamaru's name was called. The boy grumbled as he made his way to the testing room. It wasn't long before he returned with a forehead protector tied to his left sleeve. Sasuke was called and passed. Naruto was up and passed without a problem. Ino went and came out flashing her forehead protector at her friends.
The next day, the teams would be decided. Naruto, Shikamaru and Ino arrived early. Once everyone was seated, Iruka started telling them who went where.
"Team Seven, Uzumaki Naruto, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino. Your Jounin sensei is Hatake Kakashi."
"Team Eight is Inuzuka Kiba, Hyuuga Hinata and Aburame Shino. Your Jounin sensei is Yuuhi Kurenai."
"Team Ten, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura and Akimichi Chouji. Your Jounin sensei is Sarutobi Asuma. Your senseis will be along shortly to pick you up." With that, Iruka left. The Jounin came and picked up their students. Soon, only Team Seven was left. When the door finally opened, Kakashi Hatake had to dodge a volley of senbon. Shikamaru glared at the Jounin. Ino was watching with glee and Naruto had a manic grin on his face.
"Meet me on the roof in ten minutes," he instructed them before poofing away. The genin rolled their eyes and went up to the roof.
Kakashi surveyed his genin team. The girl was sitting there watching him and humming a tune under her breath. Actually, she was acting quite childish. The brunette boy appeared to be lazy, as he was just staring at the clouds. The blonde boy glared at Kakashi as if telling him to get this started.
"Introduce yourselves. Tell me your name, likes, dislikes, hobbies and your dream," Kakashi instructed, "You first." He pointed at Ino.
"I'm Yamanaka Ino. I like blood and screams and torture. I dislike pink and girly girls. My dreams are none of your business," the girl said happily.
"I'm Nara Shikamaru. I like napping, watching clouds, torture and killing. I dislike authority figures and idiots. My dreams are also none of your business," the brunette boy said lazily.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like ramen, training, torture and killing. I dislike a lot of things. My dreams aren't any of your business either," the blonde boy said. Kakashi had to keep from blinking. Wait, did those kids just say they like torture and killing?
"Tomorrow, there is a secondary test. Meet at the seventh training ground. You probably shouldn't eat breakfast, you might get sick" Kakashi said. The genin snorted. Kakashi vanished in a poof. Shikamaru rolled his eyes.
"That guy is so transparent," he grumbled, "This secondary test is obviously about teamwork. He would try to pit us against each other by using only two bells. He told not to eat anything so we wouldn't be at full strength. He's such an idiot." Naruto and Ino nodded. Ino clapped her hands.
"Ooh, we should go to the weapons store!" she declared. The boys shrugged and followed the blonde girl to their regular weapons store. Naruto browsed in the swords section. Shikamaru walked through the store, surveying the various weapons. Ino went to the assorted weapons section. Naruto grinned as he hefted a large sword. Shikamaru decided on a relatively small double sided scythe. Ino, after much consideration, chose a set of Neko Te. After they finished up at the weapons store, they went their separate ways and headed home.
With the tests, I only talked about the important people. That's it for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it!
