AN - Dont own Naruto or related characters, if i did i wouldn't be writing fan fiction


CH.1 A new Sensei

The Newly formed Team Seven were the only ones who were still waiting for their new sensei to arrive, and Team Seven had been waiting for what felt like forever. Naruto had taken to pacing backwards and forwards at the back of the class and was slowly wearing a grove in to the floor, Sasuke was sitting crossed legged on Iruka's desk and was staring at the door with a glare so intense you were convinced the door would burst into flames from fear at any minute. However, the one who the waiting was getting to the most was Sakura.

"DAMN IT! What's taking our sensei so long?" the rosette haired Kunoichi yelled while pulling her long hair in frustration.

Naruto quickly leapt to his whisker cheeked team-mates side and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and said, "Its ok Sakura-Chan I'm sure Sensei will be here soon"

The suffix quickly caught Sasuke's attention and he raised an eyebrow and wondered if Naruto had had something to do with Sakura suddenly graduating.

"NO! I am going to teach this sensei a lesson for keeping us waiting. CHA!" screamed Sakura as she placed several black bored erasers over the door all full to the brim with chalk dust. The mental image of their sensei's hair covered in chalk dust was enough to make Naruto want to burst into fits of laughter but he managed to keep it together.

Sasuke on the other hand just smirked and said "Sakura you baka, that's a good prank to pull on a Chunin but it will never work on a Jonin. Trust me I have tried to get my brother with a bucket of water and he sees it coming every time.'

This lead Sakura to just cross her eyes and stick her tongue out at Saskue, which doing so earned a chuckle from Naruto. Before Sasuke could say anything in his defence to his best friend, a yelp of surprise was heard from the doorway, in the doorway stood a Kunoichi in her mid twenties her hair covered in white chalk dust. A look of pure shock written on her face

Naruto while suppressing the urge to laugh looked over his new sensei and saw a plainly dressed Medic-Nin with the standard leaf jacket so no surprises. The only thing odd were the cracked orange goggles that hung round her neck and the pair of gloves she had on that reminded Naruto of the gloves he had see on the Anbu he saw around the village from time to time. Naruto made himself a mental note to ask her about these two odd items later.

Sakura just stood in shock over the fact that her prank had worked. However, Sasuke let himself down as he burst into laughter over how a Jonin had fallen for such a simple prank and had fallen off the desk in a laughing heap.

The jonin however just sighed as she started rubbing the chalk dust from her hair and said, "Ok knock off the laughing boy before I pound ya"

Sasuke stopped laughing and regaining his senses apologised for his outburst.

Their sensei on the other hand was looking her new team over and thought

Hmmm the fourths son from what Iruka told me he went out of his way to help the girl graduate so I wonder…does he have some feelings for her? However, he stands away from her in my presence could it be that he is protecting her in someway? Then we have the Uchiha kid, hmm Iruka said he is very easy going at times but is calm and level-headed he may be the brains of the group. And then there's the girl the one who has the Kyuubi sealed inside her, Iruka says she has excellent stamina and is good with transformations and Taijutsu but was poor with the shadow clone jutsu until recently.

"Ok you three come with me to the lake' the sensei said in a gentle but commanding voice

"Yes sensei" her three students chirped together.

Not long after leaving the academy, Team Seven arrived at the village lake and the sensei pointed at a rock and said 'Ok you three sit in front of that rock.'

The three young Ninja did as they were told and sat while their sensei sat crossed legged on the rock opposite them but had her back to them. The Kunoichi smiled to her self before putting on a voice of fake frustration said "I said the front not the back!" the students gasped and quickly ran round to face their sensei and noticed she was smiling.

"Wha?" Sasuke said in shock

"Got ya, that was for earlier," the women said as she watched her team comically fall over backwards

This was when Sakura took note of her sensei's appearance as well and noticed she had shoulder length dark brown hair, brown eyes and red marks on her cheeks she also took note of the broken goggles because they looked out of place on someone so beautiful, she also recognised the purple-pink Skirt of a medic-nin.

"Ok listen up I want you all to tell be a little bit about yourselves stuff like a goal, favourite food and obviously your names. Ok we will start with you pinky then on to you Blondie then you boy. Ok Pinky you start"

"No! What about you" Naruto said pointing at his sensei.

"Ok Blondie. I am Rin, my favourite food is any thing made with octopus and my goal is to one day find a friend who is missing. Now you pinky" Rin explained

Sakura slowly started to speak "…I'm Sakura Haruno, my favourite food are dumplings especially from Okami's and my goal is to make lots of friends amongst the village so that they won't hate me for what ever reason they do hate me"

Rin paid attention to Sakura's fake smile and Naruto's reaction at the words hate me.

He knows! Kushina you told him didn't you…I hope you know what you are doing or you may have placed a burden on your son's shoulders that he cannot handle. But I was right he might have feelings for her because he certainly cares about her. But the Uchiha he looks like he doesn't care or is it that he doesn't trust her… Rin's train of thought was disturbed by Naruto clearing his throat.

"Rin-Sensei it's my turn…" Rin smiled and nodded for him to continue, "…I'm Naruto Namikaze son of the fourth Hokage, my favourite food is Ramen but I am torn between my mums and Ichiraku's and my goal is to become the greatest of all the Hokages, BELIEVE IT!"

The way Naruto said his goal caught Rin's attention and found her self dumbfounded because she found herself believing he would be but what shocked her most was the Uchiha boy he smiled as if his friend was already Hokage and was ready and willing to follow. Ok so Naruto is the group's leader Rin thought to her self then said, "ok boy it's your turn"

"Finally… My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I enjoy eating Sushi and my goal is to become head of the ANBU ready for when Naruto becomes Hokage"

"ok very good you are dismissed for the rest of the day see you tomorrow at training field seven at seven in the morning, have fun" Rin said as she vanished

"OK! Do you two want to come to my place for lunch?" Naruto asked his team-mates.

"Sorry Naruto maybe next time" Sasuke said

"More Sharingan training from Itachi?" Naruto asked a bit glumly

"Yup. And there's my weekly game of Shougi against Shikamaru."

Naruto smirked at his best friend and asked, "What's the current score?"

Shikamaru and Saskue had been holding their weekly game for two and a half years now and Naruto made sure to keep a running tally of the score.

"Seventy three to Shikamaru, five to me. See you tomorrow," Sasuke said as he casually waved to his team-mates.

Naruto smiled he knew Sasuke was good at Shougi hell he had played him a few times and had only beat his friend twice in twelve games.

"Umm is it still ok if I have lunch with you Naruto?" Sakura asked looking down at her feet.

Naruto grinned, "Of course Sakura-Chan just the two of us, you can relax a bit then. You know my mum makes nice dumplings"

At the word dumplings Sakura's emerald eyes sparkled and a big smile appeared on her face, and making sure no one was watching cuddled into Naruto's chest to which Naruto gladly returned

"Thank you Naruto-Kun" Sakura said softly

"No problem Sakura, come on lets go" he said happily.

With that, the two vanished and headed to Naruto's home. Meanwhile not far away in a tree Rin watched the whole show of their affection towards one another and thought he only shows affection away from the other villagers could it be? …I will have to get a mission away from the village to test that theory, that is if they pass the test that is Rin smiled to herself and vanished from the tree and headed towards the Hokages office.
