Naruto woke up early that morning, getting ready to go outside to get a newspaper.

"Ahhhhhh!" Naruto screamed.
"Ptchat, hhahahha hahahah! Never expected to be thrown this far back in time huh, Kit!"Kurama snickered.
"B-but this is impossible! I'm uuuhhh- yeah! How am I supposed to go to class when I'm sixteen!" Naruto distressed.
"Y-you should look at yourself in the mirror" Kurama said barely containing a laugh.
Naruto walked over to the mirror and looked at herself, she was a young twelve year old girl again!
"ahhhhh this cant be happening!" she scream, shouted whatever word you call it.
"This is an Effect of the jutsu... Naruto-chan!" Kurama had mocked.
"This is bad!"
"Why is it bad?" Kurama asked?
"It's just bad!"
"No it isn't"
"Yes it is!"
"No it isn't!"
"Ahhhhh! Fine you win!"
X.X.X.X.X
She wore purple short shorts and light purple shirt that had hidden pockets to hid her ninja tools
"Okay! Time to go!"
"Kit, aren't you forgetting something?" Kurama snickered
"What would I forget? Hmmmm... Ah! My ninja headband!
X.X.X.X.X
"I'm sorry, minna" Naruto thought.
"I'll never forget those moments with you all …" Naruto thought wistfully. She silently vowed to make new ones with this new life.
She gazed up determinedly at her next targets. Her old teammates, Sakura and Sasuke. The first thing she had to do was get back the bond she shared with her teammates. Naruto put on her best smile as he approached the bickering Sasuke fangirls known as Sakura and Ino.
"Morning Ino, Sakura!" Naruto greeted, slowing to a more casual pace as she approached them.
The two girls gave a quick glance in her direction. Sakura gave an unladylike snort when she realized who exactly was addressing her. Ino was also visibly distressed by the blonde's sudden appearance and wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"Naruto, what are YOU doing here? In case you didn't know, you were only supposed to attend class today if you passed the graduation exams." Ino sneered at her.
"Yeah. You couldn't even make one clone." Sakura said, pointing at her mockingly.
"Well, in case you didn't notice, I have a headband on." Naruto smiled, gesturing to her forehead. "I learned a little trick that allowed me to graduate, so here I am."
"No way!" Ino said disbelievingly.
"Yes way. Now if you'll excuse me…"
Naruto went around the two girls and sat in the seat beside Sasuke. The Uchiha paid her no mind and continued to stare straight ahead. Naruto smiled and casually kicked her feet up on the desk to relax. She turned her head towards Sasuke who was trying to burn a hole in the wall with his glare.
"What is it about the wall you find so fascinating?" Naruto asked the boy next to him jokingly. Sasuke grunted in response and closed his eyes.
"Hey! That's my seat, Naruto!" Sakura shouted.
"What are you talking about, Forehead girl? That seat is mine!" Ino countered.
"I'm Naruto, by the way." Naruto smiled, ignoring the girls' prattle for now. She jabbed a thumb backwards. "And in case you haven't noticed, you've got two pretty girls fighting over you."
Sasuke didn't even look at him. Sakura and Ino blushed at Naruto's unexpected compliment, but they were not so flattered as to give up the only remaining seat next to their beloved Sasuke. Just as they were about to start threatening the blonde, Naruto decided to open her mouth. She turned towards the two girls and fixed them with a serious gaze.
"Sorry ladies, it looks like I have some bad news." Naruto frowned at them. "It would appear that our dear friend Sasuke is gay."
"I'M WHAT?" Sasuke shouted, standing up.
The class instantly grew silent. All eyes were suddenly on the Uchiha. It wasn't just because of Naruto's sudden accusation, but it was the first time the stoic boy had ever shown any real emotion in front of anyone. Naruto held her hands up in defense.
"Whoa, no need to get so worked up. I mean it's just something I concluded through observation." Naruto said defensively.
"What are you talking about?" The Uchiha demanded.
"Dude, you'd have to be some kind of homosexual if you don't react to this." Naruto said, gesturing to Sakura and Ino. "Not just them, but almost every girl in the academy literally throw themselves at you everyday and you show absolutely no interest in them. You don't even smile to show you appreciate what most guys envy you for. So I just assumed that you prefer a man's warm embrace rather than a girl's."
"Screw you! I'm straight!" Sasuke yelled, glaring at the girl.
"Some attitude you've got there. I can see that you'll make one man very happy one day." Naruto smirked.
By now, most guys in the rooms were snickering at the uncharacteristically distressed Uchiha and Naruto's wild, if somewhat plausible accusation. Almost all the girls had looks of distress on their faces, almost looking like they believed Naruto. The demon container snickered to herself. This was way better than the original scenario when she had tried to have a staring contest with Sasuke on his desk. That had turned out badly for both of them and she was still disgusted by the memory. This was a lot funnier.
"I-Is it true, Sasuke-kun?" Ino asked fearfully. "Are you really… like that?"
"He's an idiot! Don't listen to a word he says!" Sasuke protested desperately.
"They say denial is the first stage." Naruto taunted, earning horrified gasps from the girls and laughter from the guys.
"Shut up! Why would you think-!"
"Morning class!" Iruka smiled as he stepped into the classroom. He looked completely healthy. Iruka made his way to his desk, he was mildly surprised to find the class in an uproar. "Wow, everyone sure is excited today. Um, Sasuke, is there something wrong?"
"N-Nothing wrong, Sensei." Sasuke replied, quickly regaining his composure and returning to his seat. He quietly folded his hands in front of him. "Nothing at all…"
"Yeah. We just learned something new about our friend Sasuke today." Naruto said loudly, earning chuckles from the majority of the male population of the class and worried looks from the females.
"Shut it, dobe!" Sasuke growled, launching a hard dig on the girl's arm. Naruto chuckled as she rubbed the sore spot on her arm.
"Settle down!" Iruka ordered, fixing the class with a stern gaze. He was a little thrown off by how worked up Sasuke seemed to be, but he felt like he shouldn't question it. "Could everyone please take their seats?"
Everyone sat down. Sakura quickly grabbed the seat next to Naruto, forcing Ino to take the empty one next to Shikamaru. Iruka pulled out a list naming the teams and their jonin teachers. Naruto smiled to himself. He already knew what the teams would be.
"I will now read off the teams you'll be in." Iruka announced. "Team seven under Kakashi Hatake will be Sakura, Haruno… Uchiha, Sasuke…"
"Yes!" Sakura shouted in triumph and joy, earning collective groans and whines from many of the females in the class and an indignant shout from Ino.
"…and Uzumaki Naruto." Iruka finished.
"…Aw…" Sakura groaned when she heard who her third teammate was. Sasuke appeared indifferent while Naruto just shrugged and gave the pink-haired girl a light smile. A few seats below them, a certain Hyuga lowered her head in disappointment.
"This means I won't be with Naruto…" Hinata mumbled quietly to herself.
"Team eight under Kurenai Yuhi will consist of Aburame, Shino… Hyuga, Hinata… and Inuzuka, Kiba." Iruka continued.
Hinata almost fell over in her seat. The girl turned around to glance at her new companions. Kiba sneezed and snorted while Shino sat in his seat looking as emotionless as ever. Hinata sighed to herself. She hoped that she'd get along with them at least.
Ino was more distressed when she found out the lazy Shikamaru and fatboy Chouji were on her team. Later, she'd be far less impressed with her sensei Asuma Sarutobi than she was with her two teammates.
"I'll be giving all of the teams their papers stating where you will be meeting your senseis." Iruka announced after he finished naming the teams. "You are to go to these locations immediately after I have dismissed you all from class."
Iruka proceeded to hand out papers to their respective teams. After doing so, the teacher smiled at the students he'd taught for the past few years.
"I am pleased that so many have graduated this year. I am proud of each and every one of you. I know each of you will grow up to be excellent shinobi." Iruka smiled. His gaze rested on each graduate in the class, though he stared at Naruto for a few extra moments before moving on to the next face. "The path of a shinobi is long and difficult, but I know each of you have what it takes to become great ninja. Good luck to you all. Class dismissed!"
X.X.X.X.X
Class had been dismissed, but team seven was forced to stick around inside the academy due to their sensei. The paper said to meet inside the academy at three o'clock, but their teacher was terribly late. Everyone else had left to meet with their teachers or was picked up, but it was already close to five and team seven's sensei had yet to show up. While this came as no surprise to Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke were frustrated by their sensei's lateness.
Naruto remembered what happened before how she set up the prank and thought it would be funny a second time through.
Naruto quickly grabbed a chair next to her and started to stand on it with an eraser and several other objects.
"Naruto! What are you doing!" The menacing voice of Sakura came booming from the other side of the room.
"Playing a prank! This is what our sensei gets for being late!" Naruto said cheerfully.
"Naruto, you shouldn't do that!" Sakura said.
"He won't fall for it, Dobe, he is an elite ninja a Jounin, theer is no way he would fall for such an immature trick,What else do you expect!" Sasuke snorted.
"Yeah! Sasuke-kun is right!" Sakura swooned. 'Who am I kidding? I love this kind of stuff!' Inner Sakura exclaimed.
That was when Kakashi walked in and the eraser nested perfectly on his hair.
Inner Sakura screamed 'Yes! Perfect shot!'
'This is our sensei? Is he even a Jounin? He must be an idiot' Sasuke thought.
"My first impression of you all-" kakashi stopped.
"You guys are a bunch of idiots..." He said.
"WHAT!" Team seven all exclaimed.
