Chapter 2: Team Placement and Old Tests

"Ok Baa-Chan what team am I going to be in," asked a hyperactive blonde and at which moment Tsunade accidentally crushed her tea cup in anger.

"Naruto…you still haven't learnt any manners I see," stated Tsunade in a grumpy tone the she looked at Jiriya with an evil stare. 'If you turned him into a pervert like your self I swear I'm going to pummel you through each wall this building has. Including the room with all the walls that have notes and things on it,' Tsunade thought.

Conveniently enough Jiriya started to sweat heavily when she gave him that look and so Tsunade just looked back at Naruto but sweat dropped at what she saw. There was Naruto doing a bunch of different posses and saying things like "I bet I'm going to be in bushy brows team" or "Maybe Shikamaru's team."

"Umm… Naruto it would be good if you paid attention when the Hokage is talking to you," said Kakashi giving said blonde a small nudge with his elbow.

"Oh…ah…ok Kakashi sensei" Naruto replied.

"Ahem," said Tsunade trying to get everyone's attention. "Naruto you will be placed back with your old team," she said pointing at Kakashi and Sakura and she got a single nod from Naruto.

"And what about my status do I get to be chuunin?" Naruto asked

"No. You still have to go through a test."

"WHAT! You mean all my training means nothing!" Naruto shouted.

"Calm down ok. I said you have to go through a test but not the chuunin exam. Your test is simple. You have to win a tournament," Tsunade stated simply but she said it with a smile that would make a particular old teammate of hers be jealous.

"So all I gotta do is beat some people to a pulp,"

"Exactly, that is if you can," Tsunade said with a smile again. "All of you are dismissed. Naruto meet at the arena tomorrow at 12 noon and bring your ninja gear," and with that everyone left the building.

After the meeting at the Hokage office Naruto went back to his apartment and got his ninja tools ready. He also took out a scroll from his traveling bag and opened it up and then a small cloud of smoke appeared and a katana could be seen on Naruto's bed. Naruto looked at it for a moment and then aid to himself

"I don't think I'll be using you just yet Draconis," and with that Naruto put the sword back in the scroll.

After he finished getting his gear ready he looked out the window and saw that it was almost night time. The sky was orange and the sun was going down so Naruto decided to go to his favorite spot and watch the sun set. He leapt out his window and hopped on the roofs of building throughout the village and then he climbed the stair case that led to the top of the Hokage faces. As soon as he reached the top he noticed someone else was there. He couldn't exactly tell who it was but as soon as he got a bit closer he couldn't mistake that pink hair.

"Hello Sakura-Chan!" he called out to the pinkette. Just then said girl turned around to see her blonde team mate running towards her with a goofy smile. When Sakura saw him and that smile she just couldn't help but smile too.

"Hello Naruto, what brings you here?" she asked

"I was about to ask you the same thing," Naruto replied happily.

"Well I have come here everyday since the day you left to train with Jiriya," Sakura stated looking out into the sunset. "I don't know why but on that night something just told me to come up here. Naruto smiled and just stared at her for a moment then finally said

"Well its funny because ever since I can remember I have come up here every night I was free or in the village," he said and when those words hit Sakura's ears her eyes widened but went back to normal and she smiled gently.

After their little moment the two of them sat there and talked about how they've been while they were gone. Sakura explained to Naruto the daily life style of being Tsunade's apprentice and being second in command of the hospital. Whilst Naruto talked about all the adventures he had with the Jiriya. Sakura didn't tell Naruto about her new battle skills because she knew that tomorrow they would have to fight and Naruto didn't tell Sakura his skills because he wanted to keep it as a surprise and impress her when he got the chance.

After a while the conversation turned into the old days. One that Naruto didn't really wish to talk about but he let Sakura let out her feelings.

"Hey Naruto remember the time when we had to help that old man go through the forest but he turned out to be a well known arms dealer," Sakura said

"Oh yeah! That one!" Naruto replied back "I remember. That was the time when we first saw Sasuke use his dragon flame jutsu."

"Yep that was it," retorted Sakura

"Good times…"

"Sure were…"

There was small moment of silence which was soon broken by Naruto.

"I haven't forgotten the promise I made you," He said looking at the now clearly visible stars. Sakura just stared at him a little sad looking.

"Not once while I was away from you did I forget. I mean why did go and train for right?" Naruto said putting back on his fake smile and turning to look at Sakura.

"Thank you Naruto," she said quietly.

"Well I better get going," Naruto said suddenly as he slowly got up. Sakura tried to hide the sudden disappointment that washed over her face with a "yeah I better go to" but she knew it failed.

Naruto just gave her a small hug and jumped off the cliff faces which caught Sakura by surprise and she screamed out "NARUTO!" and she ran to the edge of the cliff to find him free falling but after he was around half way down he disappeared In a puff of smoke. Sakura huffed.

"That Naruto, always having to make a dramatic exit," and then she to left but she used the stairs.

When Naruto arrived at his house after a successful shunshin he smiled and looked at the equipment he had gotten ready earlier and thought to himself 'Tomorrow I become a chuunin!" and with that he placed himself in bed and fell peacefully asleep.
