Hellllo everyone(: I finnished the second chapter of Naruto; The Next Generation. And it also occurred to me I should put a disclaimer!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Short and sweet, haha. So, with that taken care of, I don't really have much else to say, so i'll just get on with the story!

"Ryouga i'm going to warn you right now, that you shouldn't mess with me, got it?" Sora growled at the young Hatake. With eating lunch already taken care of, the three team members were immediately sent off to a training area in the south side of the village to meet their jonin instructor. They were already on their way, slowly, but surely.

"Why are you warning me? There's no danger, so thus, that statement was unnecessary." The brownish-red haired ninja retorted back calmly, not even looking at Sora.

"YOU WANNA FIGHT?" The kunoichi yelled shaking her fist in the boys face as the three walked, her light brown hair flew around her wildly when she turned.

"Guys, guys! Calm down, eh? We're a team now, we shouldn't be fighting." Koichi spoke up now. Sora looked away from the Hatake boy and turned her attention to the prodigy of the Eisei clan, Koichi. He had snow-white spiky hair (like jaraiya's) that ended a little past his shoulders. He had cole-black eyes and a pale skin texture. He wore a overly big gray jacket that went at least 6 inches past his hands, hiding them, and also pants the color of his eyes, ending a few inches before his ankles. Typicial ninja shoes and his forehead protector hung around his neck.

"Hmph! No one asked you." Sora responded as she stuck her nose in the air, acting stubborn. "I've heard about this guy." The kunoichi thought. "He's suppost to be very professional, a prodigy of the Eisei clan..." Ryouga simply watched with an emotionless expression.

"Sora-chan, please calm down, save your energy for the date we should go on later! Say 7 o'clock?" The boy blushed as he reached to grasp Sora's hand.

The girl took a moment to take it all in before she realized what was happening. "Ahhh! Get back you freakkk!" The teen yelled pulling in her hands and backing up as she realized what was going on. "So much for professional!" Sora thought surprised.

"Ahah." Koichi laughed nervously growing embarrassed at the harsh rejection. Ryouga turned away making a "Tsk" noise looking uninterested as the three continued walking to the training grounds. Moments later, they arrived at the destination. Sora stood, her hands on her hips as she scanned around the forest they were now currently in.

"Where's our new instructor?" She spoke getting impatient.

"Right here." A voice from the shadows spoke. Koichi and Ryouga instantly turned their heads to where the voice came from, Sora was a little slower though. A couple of dull green bushes rustled and out came a tall, orange, blond ninja.

Koichi rose an eyebrow. "Wait, wh-" he started but was caught off guard by a large thumping noise. The noise of weight hitting the ground all at once.

The orange goofy ninja had fallen face first into the dirt.

He had triped over his own feet.

All three genin sweat-dropped tremendously at the sight and there eyes growing big and pupil-less anime style. "This is our new jonin...?" Ryouga thought. He shook his head at the sight. "That's what he gets for trying to be so cool." Sora snickered cheerfully, her light brown hair falling in front of her face as she did so. Naruto rubbed the side of his face as he got up from the ground into a kneeling position.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and from this point on I will be your new jonin instructor!" He grimaced at the pain but managed to stand up and give a playful grin.

"You seem like an older, adult version of a genin." Ryouga commented, looking right at the blonde with his usual facial. The boy's brownish-red hair whipped around as a breeze picked up in the forest. The trees overhead flowed around, back and forth. "How rude." thought Koichi, a frown planted across his lips as he sent a glare towards Ryouga.

Naruto rolled his eyes at the Hatake boy, deciding not to answer to the comment. "Sorry about that. But hey, how about some introductions then? Tell us a little about yourself. Dislikes, likes, goals, background. Anything. Let's start with you, Sora." Naruto put his full attention on the short girl as soon as he spoke the name. The girl gasped under her breathe at the fact he knew her name already, but kept the surprise to herself.

"Well... my name is Sora Risaikury, of the Risaikury clan! I like being a ninja and I worked hard to get here! I dislike Ryouga," She sent a mean look his way "...and people that lie! I don't actually have much background thats worth saying. " The teen girl paused for a moment, as if debating whether to say the next part of her introduction or not. "And my goal, well, i'm going to find and kill the person that wiped out my entire clan." Sora sighed, it was obvious that saying that was somewhat hard for her. "Sora..." Koichi didn't know what to think at the kunoichi's goal. "Interesting." Naruto thought. "In a sense, she's kind of like Sasuke." Naruto's grin widened.

"Your turn, Ryouga."

"Well, not that it's a surprise, but my name is Ryouga Hatake. I don't particularly like or dislike anything. My background is pretty plain and boring. And my goal isn't that interesting either." The boy didn't even make eye contact with any of the three, instead choosing to look off in the distance. As if he were in deep thought.

"He's nothing like his father." The jounin thought as he then decided to speak. "Alright, now for you, Koichi." Naruto smiled warmly at the last genin of the group. Sora stood, waiting for the white-haired shinobi to start.

"My name is Koichi Eisei, of the Eisei clan. I like healing and helping other shinobi, I get pleasure from it. I dislike war, and my background is like what Ryouga-kun said, plain. My goal is to be the top medic-nin of this village and of my clan." A small smile crossed his lips, thinking of the ambition. "So this is the prodigy, huh?" Naruto thought, trying not to stare at the boy.

"Alright! Now my turn, right?" Naruto spoke up, balling his hand into a fist in excitement. "Like I said earlier, my name is Naruto Uzumaki. I've always loved ramen and of course this village. I dislike few things. And my background? Now that's a secret! As for my goal? It has never changed, ever since a young boy, it has stayed the same."

"But what is it?" Sora took a step forward, making a small "pat" noise. Naruto shook his head, looking like he wasn't going to tell.

"Another secret." He simply responded, his expression changing from warm to sly. Another breeze hit the group, making the new silence even more odd then it already was.

"Well, I think I should go on to tell you guys something else." Naruto broke the silence. All three looked right at the blond-haired jonin directly this time as he continued. It was odd, Sora wasn't usually that quiet. "Tomorrow there will be another test." Sora openly gasped.

"What are you talking about?" Sora shouted at the blond, anger rising in her. "Yeah! What do you mean?" Koichi added on to what Sora said. Ryouga was the only one to stay calm. "We just took a test. What is the point of another?"

"It will all be explained tomorrow." Naruto grinned widely at all three shinobi. "And it's a tough one. Be at the east training grounds at 6 in the morning. Don't be late." Naruto sighed and took a look at the kunoichi. "Why is he looking at me!" The girl thought, a vein in her head already starting to appear. "With that, i'll see you guys later!" And with those final parting words the blond ninja dissapeared in a puff of smoke.

"Ugh." Sora grumbled under her breathe. "Great. Another test. I barely passed the last one I took!" The teen crossed her arms in discontent as the breeze picked up again making her hair dance around her.

"Everyone is quite aware." Ryouga thought as he attempted to conceal a snicker.

Fail.

"What's so funny?" Sora's head shot over to where the Hatake boy stood, her eyes squinted with suspician. "Oh geez." Koichi facepalmed as he silently watched the two. "I hope this doesn't go south."

"Nothing, nothing." Ryouga waved his left hand in the air as if dismissing the thought. "But anyways, i've got plans. So i'll see you losers later." He nodded his head at his "comrades" as he jumped away in a blur of black. "What an idiot." Sora spoke to no one in peticular even though Koichi was only a few feet away. The boy sighed.

"At least it didn't THAT get heated." He sweatdropped, trying to be positive. But at that same moment, the young long-haired kunoichi interrupted his thoughts. "Hey, Koichi. I'm actually going to go get some ramen in a second here. I always go alone...so wanna come along this time?" She offered as she rubbed the back of her head cutely. "I'm not sure why I asked... but maybe since we're on the same team now we can get to know each other?" Sora thought as she awaited Koichi's answer. He didn't waste much time.

"AS IN A DATE?" He nearly yelled, hearts appearing in his eyes.

"Hahah, no, but lets go anyways!" Sora rejected the medic-nin for the second time that day, but with a smile this time. The kunoichi turned on her heel and began walking, the smile still pasted on her lips. Koichi ran up and started walking beside the girl, still happy at the offer to go and eat together.

"So, um, Koichi...Your of the Eisei clan?" Sora attempted to make conversation with the white-haired shinobi, but nervously scratched at her thigh. The girl didn't have many friends in the village, so it was hard to talk and be around other people sometimes.

"Yes, I am." He proudly responded looking into Sora's eyes. Oh, how that made her uncomfortable. She scratched at her thigh even more as they continued to walk out of the

"I hear your some kind of prodigy." She avoided eye contact.

"That would be the name given to me by outsiders of my clan. But in truth, I don't condider myself anything that special."

Sora snapped her head up and stared at the boys face in disbelief. "But, but your amazing! You can already heal bones and you just got out of the academy! Do you realize how impressive that is? I wouldn't even dream of being that good." The second she finnished she regretted it. "Sorry. I got a little carried away there." She smirked at the ground, getting more comfortable around Koichi by the second at the fact he didn't have an outburst back. Or say anything out of line.

"Sora." He simply responded. The kunoichi didn't look up, waiting for him to continue. Koichi's warm expression turned to a frown now. Slowly, he moved his hand down and cupped her cheek, he brought her face up and aligned hers with his until the two were staring directly into each others eyes. "Look at me when you talk, Sora." His frown turned into a warm smile, so much that the girl couldn't help but smile back. "Wow, he makes me feel so...so comfortable! Maybe I should stop rejecting him so meanly. He seems like a great guy." She thought still looking into the white-haired boys eyes. Seconds later, Sora broke the connection. Koichi let his hand fall from Sora's cheek as the two broke through the forest, and started the path to Ichiraku's.

The breeze turned into a stronger wind as it pushed and pulled at the tree tops, unaware of the four beings hiding in the tree's shadows. The moon glint in the dark, as it was almost full.

"How is it coming along?" The first, dark figure asked.

"Perfect. No one of this pitiful village suspects a thing sensei."

"Mmm." The first figure made a pleased sound.

One of the other shadows spoke up now. "When do we make our move? I'm growing impatient by simply just watching. I hate watching."

"You must Amo, for things must fall into place, and that takes time." Another figure answered.

"I'm going to return sensei." The second voice interrupted.

"Very well. Remember our plan."

"Yes, I understand...Kabuto-sensei." And with those last words the figure dissapeared into the shadows of the night.
