*X* Chapter 2 *X*

On training ground 5 you can find team 5 getting to know each other. The jounin did what Kakashi did the first time they met. "Okay, let's get to know each other. I am Shirakumo Hayama, I like quiet, and I dislike my privacy being invaded and dreams not telling. Now, on with our new member, introduce yourself."

"I am Uzumaki Naruto, I like ramen and training, I dislike traitors and people who judge without knowing all the facts, my dream is to become a great shinobi." So they introduce each other. After they were done their jounin left them alone Naruto asked them for help, they listen to him. "Listen guys, I need new wardrobe but for some reasons I have no fashion sense and I really don't want to be killed o what do you guys say we go shopping?" They went and first thing they did is burn all his old clothes and then went shopping buying darker clothes that made him look sexy. They met each other every day no matter what, Someday at Ichiraku, some on training ground or at on a mission. They grow on each other even the jounin and Koji who was still hospitalized, they visit him everyday even Naruto. When the team met without his jounin Naruto was talking about his experience at Chuunin Exam, they devised a plan for first exam, if it was like the time that Naruto went then they were ready, for second exam they brought extra ammunitions and supplements and perfected their team work.

Today Naruto was alone drinking in a bar he frequented dressed in a black jeans and a tight shirt that let no imagination just how build his body is under his clothes, he has his wallet and some kunai and also a few senbons he learned to used after a awhile in respect for Haku, who was a big inspiration in his life; he sat at a table all the way in the back when Hayama came in with Genma, Izumo and Kotetsu.

"Yo, Naruto."

"Yo, Hayama-sensei."

"Mind if we join you?"

"Nah, sit down. Masae" Naruto hold his now empty bottle of sake. Masae came with a new one.

"What can I get the rest of you?"

They order, Masae left to get their order.

"So, Naruto, weren't you with Kakashi in a team?"

"Hm. I need to pass Chuunin Exam."

He answer quietly, Genma's senbon fell out of his mouth, all three there mouth fell on the table. Hayama was already accustomed to the new Naruto, the other weren't, and all had one thought in mind. "Is this really Uzumaki Naruto?"

Drank and got to know each other Naruto found out that Izumo and Kotetsu weren't lovers' just friends when Kotetsu tried to get a date out of Masae, which flatly refuse and said if he was Naruto it would have been a maybe. Naruto just acted oblivious, when he was gone Kotetsu asked why he didn't make his move, Naruto just stared at him as if he was nuts.

"Are you nuts? Do you know how clingy she is?"

"So, Naruto what is up with the new wardrobe?"

"Genma, if I didn't know any better I would say you're interested." Naruto said with a sexy foxy smile. For a second time that night Genma's senbon fell out of his mouth. They stare at each other and then Naruto smirked and the others were laughing their ass off at Genma's shocked face. Naruto couldn't leave it behind his prankster side is coming out. "To answer your question Gen-kun, be really straight with me: would you date me if I was wearing so much orange or so out of style?"

"Gen-kun?"

"Off all things I said that is your answer? Damn, Genma." They all were laughing while Genma tried to compose himself and put his senbon back in his mouth. "I change clothes because the clothes I was wearing since child were part of my goofy loud and stupid mask. They went out of the window a day after my mask came out with the help of my team."

"Well, Naruto, you do look good in those clothes. If I weren't with Iruka I definitely would go after you."

"Thanks, Genma. It's good that I know you're good to Iruka because if you hurt him I'll kill you. Besides right now I'm not much into steady relations."

The rest who were quietly following the conversation were silent and three eyebrows went up at this.

"So, you also swing that way?"

"If by swinging that way you mean if I'm gay than yes, I am." Izumo double check the man thinking. "Damn, if he is serious I just might be persuaded to test what he got. Beside he is hot."

Naruto left them saying he got to prepare for Chuunin which was the next day. On his way out he saw Kakashi with Sasuke drinking, smiling and teasing each other. He was almost out when Sasuke realize he was there.

"Oy, dobe."

"Hey, Uchiha, how is it going?"

"Fine, where were you going without saying hi?"

"Home, I have Chuunin Exam tomorrow with my team." At this Kakashi's ears stood up.

"YOUR team? As if you can be accepted in a team that wasn't ours or handle being in a team for that."

"Well, thank Kami that Hayama-sensei believes in me and my team, Hatake-san."

"As if that low rate jounin can be any good."

Before anyone can see or say anything Naruto had Kakashi by the neck and in to the wall. "You can say anything of me, you can bad mouth me, reduce me, attack me, belittle me but don't you ever say anything bad about my team, you should know better."

"Enough, Naruto."

Naruto turned to the speaker, when he saw who it was he let Kakashi go. Sasuke ran to check on Kakashi.

"Hai, Hayama-sensei but know this Hatake be careful with your words especially if they are about someone I respect, like Hayama-sensei or someone I like, like the team I am in now."

With that he got out, Sasuke follow him. Leaving a few stun jounin behind. And again Izumo had a few thoughts running around in his mind of the blond. Like how hot he looked mad, or how good it would feel to have Naruto defend him with such vigor, or how passionate he can be even out of bed what would he be like in bed.

Meanwhile outside the bar Sasuke almost next to Naruto when he spoke.

"What was that in there? He is our sensei. You have to show him the respect he deserves."

"News flash, Uchiha, he is your sensei not ours, he taught you not us. At first chance he got he pushed me and Sakura to someone else. Now I know Hayama-sensei I know what teamwork really means, I know why I should respect my sensei. Kakashi was no sensei of mine. Good night." With that he used Wind Leaf Shunshin no Jutsu and disappear only to appear in hokage's office. "Baa-Chan, I think I gave you more paperwork, sorry."

"What did you do?"

"I cause commotion in the bar next to the dango shop were jounin meet."

"Sigh, what happen?" he told her, she was fuming when he was done. Naruto taught she was mad at him until she opens her mouth.

"How dare he? He was your sensei! How dare he?"

"Well, I just came to let you know. I am going home, tomorrow is Chuunin Exam. Goodnight, Baa-Chan."

Next day he met his team at Ichiraku and went to the class passing the one on genjutsu without saying anything and enters the correct class and to their pleasant surprise Ibiki was the proctor again. They activate their plan and pass with all the questions answer correctly and with confidence and sat waiting for question 10. They were done in less than 15 minutes. This time when Ibiki was telling the rules for question 10 and letting them decide their teams' faith, Naruto didn't open his mouth so more teams left. While he and Ibiki was in a staring contest. Ibiki's glare said something like: I dare you to open your mouth like last time. While Naruto's stare said something like: why would I? They were having the time of their life. Almost to the end Naruto picked his pencil and wrote something on the back. Put his pencil down and left when everything was done to follow Anko who was early again. When Ibiki went to pick up the test he was astonish to say the least. He back tracked in his mind and remembers that Naruto and his team were done in 15 minutes. Then he remembers that five minutes before it was time to end he wrote something again. Curious he turned the paper around and read. He was smirking and at the end he was laughing out loud. This scared a few Chuunin who was still there. All the while Ibiki was thinking. "Interesting kid. I might just take you on it. Uzumaki Naruto, ka? Never ceases to amaze me. Ibiki-sensei. It does sound good." On the back was written:

"Ibiki-san,

If I didn't know better I would say you are getting soft. Last time you had more sweating. Hm, well this is just to let you know that now that my loud and stupid mask is off I am coming for a job under you once I made jounin. Hoping you can teach me to make them sweat like a waterfall. Can you imagine this? Me under your command? Interesting wouldn't you say? Once I made jounin I will come to you. Hoping for a new sensei. What do you think, Ibiki-sensei? Sound good, don't you think, IBIKI-SENSEI?

Sincerely,

Uzumaki Naruto

Genin of Konohagakure for now."
