I just posted a new poll on profile, go check it out! Pick out who is your Naruto character(s)!

Waking up the next morning was the hardest, because the stormy gray clouds didn`t allow the wonderful sunshine over the thick blanket. Oh, how Sakura missed the warm sunshine to creep onto her thin blankets and remind her of warm fuzzy goodness! But still, Sakura went through her morning routine(albeit crankily), and went on her merry way to the academy for her assigned team.

Little did she know that later, her teammates would cause her the most grief.

After arriving at the cheerily painted academy, now filtered gray under the ominous sky, the new kuniochi ran inside. Quickly checking the clock mounted on the right side of Sakura, she mentally counted down the seconds in which the school bell would chime. Her doom was upon her, as the clock slowly ticked the last 7 seconds of her doom. She sobbed mentally as she thought about her ruined Perfect Attendance Record.

7...

6...

She skidded to a stop, and sharply turned left.

5...

She was running down the seemingly endless painted hallways, until she found it!

4...

The pinkette skidded to a stop in front of the small oak door.

2...

She threw open the door, slightly splintering it under her tiny fists. The poor door.

1...

She stepped over the doorline and everyone stared at the dramatic entrance.

The bell`s chime was right after.

She was safe!

Or so she thought, and quickly met the irritated gaze of her scowling teacher. In which Sakura sheepishly plopped down in the middle of Naruto and Sasuke, seemingly oblivious to the rapidly developing tension around the three. Naruto and Sasuke were glaring at each other, and Sakura was in the middle filing her already sharp kunais.

Of course, Naruto just HAD to crawl onto Sasuke`s desk area and squat there to glare at said Uchiha. The wooden object underneath protested by creaking. Then, the scene that scarred naive Sakura's mind was when Naruto was pushed from behind and they were kissing. As if a hurricane was gathering, Sasuke's devoted admirers were surrounding the area with a rage-filled glint in their eyes.

All the drama toned down when Iruka-sensei walked into the classroom to announce the teams. When Sakura heard her name in Team 7, she strained her ears to hear who the two other team mates were. The pinkette`s eyes widened, her pink lips stretched into a phsychotic grin. And of course, Sakura had to make sure Ino and Hinata`s teammates were good to them. She had all taken them aside and threatened to castrate them. Shikamaru, Chouji, Kiba, and Shino all paled visibly after she said that in a sugarsweet tone and a threatening aura. Sakura started to consider joining the interrogation unit.

After the frivolous morning, Iruka-sensei had given them directions to go down the hall and into an empty classroom to wait for their new jounin-sensei. Naruto had started blubbering nonsense about porcelain mask wearing ninja and not wanting someone like that to instruct them. Well, that all ended when Sakura had whispered into his ear that those ninja were ANBU, not jounin. Naruto then blushed profusely afterwards from embarrassment. Or from what Sakura assumed.

He was actually blushing, because her whispers were very, very ticklish.

2 hours had passed in the small classroom.

Naruto was now ranting at the aged door and blaming it with very illogical reasons. Sasuke had an agitated look gathering on his pale face. Sakura just watched all of this with a small smile on her face. Then, Naruto had grabbed a chalk board eraser dusted heavily with powder and placed it carefully in the small opening on the top of the door. "That'll teach him a lesson!" sang Naruto. Sasuke just glared at Naruto's stupidness, and told him a jounin wouldn't fall for kid tricks like that in his arrogant Uchiha tone. The creak of the door interrupted Sasuke's lecture, and the black eraser fell onto the incomers head with a poof and a small cloud of pasty dust.

This man was very strangely dressed in Sakura's opinion, but by the way his stance was positioned, she could guess that this guy had more going for him than worrying about abnormal fashion. Her logic kicked into gear, and she guessed that this was their new jounin teacher. Naruto finally realized that this man could kill him, and his mind ran into overdrive. Dear lord and savior, help him.

"My first opinion of you is..."The genin's attention were all focused on their new sensei,"that you're all idiots." Their weird teacher drawled lazily, and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Sakura quickly directed her confused friends to the back of the academy where they first graduated. Sitting on the wooden steps, their new sensei approached them while reading a bright orange book.'Great, our weirdly dressed sensei reads erotic novels.'

"Please introduce yourself, your likes and dislikes, and hobbies." the yet-to-be-named sensei spoke in a casual and monotone voice.

Naruto was very pissed after the wait, and pointed an accusing index finger at said man."Why don't you introduce yourself first?!" questioned Naruto, while probably thinking about his beloved cupped noodles. The jounin signed in defeat," My name is Kakashi Hatake, my like and dislikes...I don't really know, and my hobbies...I don't feel like telling you!" His voice uplifted as he finished his horrible excuse of an introduction.

Was this really their new team instructor? The trio of genin sulked in disbelief. After all introductions were through, Kakashi gave them a location and time for another round of graduation testing. The location was at a training ground across Konoha near the outskirts of the village. The time? Six in the goddamn morning. All shinobi who liked to be organized and prepared had to wake up at least an hour earlier, and the time to the destination didn't count. Damn it.

Did the other teams have to do this survival test, they weren't sure.

After all the confusion was leveled and Kakashi-sensei had poofed away to god knows where, the genin each headed to their perspective homes.

On Sakura's way home, she had purchased some dry energy bars and protein-filled goods in case her sensei had pulled bull on warning them to not eat breakfast. After exiting the store, the pinkette had headed straight for home. She was hoping for a head start for tomorrow morning`s test.

So, how was this chapter? I`m sorry for the wait. My only excuse is I just came back to America all the way from China, and the frickin country didn`t filter this website for some stupid reason. So I`m at the airport right now, typing this on my ipad. Please excuse all spelling and grammar mistakes I made.

Until next time,
