Redemption and Retribution.

Next chapter of R and R, enjoy.


Chapter 2: So long it has been.

It's been 5 years since the night of the Uchiha clans demise to their own kith and kin. The two surviving members of the lost clan, Naruto and Sasuke, have continued their lives training to become ninja of their village. Their main goal however was to eliminate the one responsible for their clan's demise, Itachi Uchiha. Today however, they will be one step closer to their goal as they graduate from the academy and onto a team of their own.

"It's been three hours and he still late." A 12 year old Sasuke said in annoyance as she glanced up at the clock hanging above the black board.

"Patience is a virtue." A 14 year old Naruto said as he sunk into his seat clasping his hands together behind his head.

"You're one to speak." She said glaring at him only to get flicked on the forehead causing Sasuke to growl and attempt to claw at his already scarred face.

'Do they even know that I am here.' Sakura thought as she watched the bantering between the two.

'CHA! Of course they do, they're just pretending.' Here inner self said and she nodded to herself.

'Yeah, you're right.' She said to her inner self.

'Of course I am, I'm you.'

The door to the class opened, and a white haired man peeked inside. He had an uninterested expression on his face as he gazed at the three Genin.

"First impression…I don't think I like you." He stated before leaving the room.

"What an entrance." Naruto commented as he stood from his seat stretching his back.

"He's such a prick." Sasuke said as she followed her friend out of the class forgetting all about Sakura.

Sakura ran after the two Uchiha as they went to meet their sensei. She finally caught up to them as they went up the short flight of stairs. They did not even spare her a glance as they took a seat next to each other. She sighed but regained her confidence as she sat on Naruto's right side.

"Right lets begin this little session." The white haired man said as he clamped his hands together.

"Let's get to know each other, tell me your likes, dislikes, dreams and hobbies." The Jonin said with an eye smile.

"You go first, you know just so we know you're not a pedo and all." Naruto spoke up peeking underneath from his hat.

"How…colorful." Kakashi replied before clearing his throat. "I'm Kakashi Hatake. I have no desire to tell you my likes and dislikes… My dreams for the future… Hmm… As for my hobbies… I have lots of hobbies…"

"That's it I'm calling it…you're a pedophile." Naruto said as he pointed an accusing finger at Kakashi who sweat dropped at the accusation.

"Alright then, moving on…you with the duck shaped hair." Kakashi said pointing to Sasuke who resisted the urge to maul the man.

Kakashi though couldn't be blamed for his description. She has shoulder-length midnight blue hair with two chin-length parted bangs framing her face, the back of her hair was random spiked strands giving the appearance of tail feathers. She has porcelain white skin with dark cold eyes. She wore a dark blue high-collard sleeve-less tunic reaching her knees with the Uchiha fan on her back. Underneath the tunic she wore a black sleeve-less shirt and a long-sleeved thick mesh armor. She wore knee-length white shorts, and wore wrappings around her shins and had on dark blue sandals. Around her forehead on a dark blue cloth was her hitai-ate. She stood at the height of 150 cm.

"Hn, My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan, and kill a certain someone."

The mood was dramatic and somber…that is until Naruto flicked Sasuke's forehead causing the girl to grunt in pain.

"What was that for?" she asked grabbing him by the collar of his shirt.

"I don't know felt like it." He replied with a shrug of his shoulders.

She growled before releasing him and he chuckled as he fixed shirt.

"Anyways, next pinkie." He said pointing at the pink haired member of the team.

"Hmph, my name is Sakura Haruno. I like….ummm(Eyes divert to Naruto). My hobbies are…(Eyes divert to Naruto). And my dream for the future…(awkwardly stares at Naruto)." Naruto shivered at the end of her introduction.

"And dislikes?" Kakashi asked.

"INO-PIG!" she exclaimed shaking her fist scaring away any nearby birds.

"Wow, that was loud." Naruto said as he nursed his ringing ears.

'Argh! Did she really have to be on our team.' Sasuke thought with a low growl.

"Right, now last but not least…the pirate." Kakashi said pointing at Naruto who looked amused.

"You're a hypocrite you know that." Naruto said with a smirk.

Naruto although an Uchiha, did not appear to be one due to his palette. He has short bright blond unruly hair with some hair covering his left eye. He has light tanned skin with three thin lines on each cheek resembling whisker marks, the area surrounding his left eye had scratch like scarring. His eyes were a vivid blue with a dark ring around the pupil. He wore a dark blue surfer beannie with a dark orange fold. He wore a long-sleeved shirt with neck hugging collar with a zip running down the middle with orange straps going over the zip line. He wore white pants tucked into a pair of shin-length sandals. He had on black kunai and shuriken pouches on both legs. He also wore what appeared to be a harness for his tantō which ran across his chest and fastened over both his shoulders. Attached to the front of his beanie is his Konoha hitai-ate plate. He stood at the height of 166 cm.

"My name is Naruto Uchiha. I like ramen, walks along the river and Sasuke-chan over here (pinches Sasuke's cheek only to receive a quick punch to the jaw). I dislike senseless fighting, genocide and fresh vegetables. My hobbies include gardening, training and reading. My dreams for the future, are to make the village a better place." He said.

"Well you're no fun." Kakashi said with an eye smile.

"Bite me cyclops…better yet don't, or I'll report you for molestation." The blond said with a grin.

"Right…now that we know each other I can begin. Congratulations on passing your Academy exam, we will be meeting tomorrow for your Genin exam."

"What!? We just had a Genin exam." Sakura cried out in shock.

"Yes, that was just to see those who qualify to take the actual Genin exam which is give to you by your sensei, which is me. Now this test is more difficult than the last one, it has a 66% fail rate." Kakashi said shocking his students.

"The test will take place tomorrow at training ground 7, make sure to arrive there at 08H00, and I would suggest you don't eat…unless you enjoy puking. Now enjoy the rest of your day and prepare for tomorrow, you might want to bring a lot of equipment, bye." Kakashi said before vanishing in a swirl of leaves.

"You heard him Sasuke, we need to prepare." Naruto said as he stood up helping Sasuke to her feet.

"Yeah, Sakura." Sasuke spoke up facing the pink haired girl who perked up at the mention of her name.

"Yes?" she asked looking to the Uchiha.

"We need you to be on top of your game tomorrow. You aren't physically strong, but you have an advance mind, use it. Gather any information you can on Kakashi, the more we know the better." The female Uchiha said and Sakura smile with a nod.

"Hai." She replied.

The two Uchiha turned and left heading towards their apartment, Naruto raised his arm up and gave her a thumbs up before they both left her field of vision.

'I'm not going to disappoint you. You both can count on me.' She thought in confidence before heading towards the library.

Sasuke and Naruto sat in the living room of their apartment. Books and scrolls were sprawled all over the table and floor as they went through tactics and strategies.

"Why are we doing this again?" Sasuke asked with a yawn before throwing a scroll to the side.

"Kakashi is obviously a skilled Jonin, he may appear to be a slacker but he's got some power radiating off of him…and he has the Sharingan." He stated shocking his female companion.

"Sharingan? How?" she asked. She had faith in Naruto's sensor skills, he had an ability unlike any other when it came to sensing. He did not need to mold his chakra to sense those around him, his ability is always active and does need any effort for him to use it.

"An implanted one probably." He replied before shutting the book he was reading.

"So, any plans so far?" she asked an he smirked.

"He's got experience and would probably expect us to use simple techniques we were taught in the academy. But we don't have to use those techniques…we catch him off guard, whenever he thinks he's figured us out, we surprise him even more. And if the test is what I think it is, Sakura will stand back occasionally attacking with projectiles and setting off traps, she'll also grab the bells."

"Bells?"

"The bell test has been a Konoha tradition when it comes to training it's Genin. The objective of the test is to acquire a set of bells tied to the Jonin in the given the time, the test is to see whether the team has an understanding of deception and teamwork as that is what Konoha values the most." Naruto explained.

"How do you know all these things?" She asked her blond childhood friend who chuckled.

"It's elementary my dear Sasuke, reading is how I get my info…and my crows as well." He replied.

"So, we just keep him on his toes then. That sounds easy enough, we're just going to need a lot of rest." She said and he nodded closing another book.

"Yeah, we probably should go to sleep now, it's past midnight." He said rubbing his eye with a yawn.

"Alright then, see you in the morning." Sasuke said as she left for her room with Naruto doing the same heading towards his own room.
