Aira groaned as she heard her alarm clock ringing in her ears.

She hopped off of her single bed and quickly took a shower. She got out and grabbed a soft blue towel, drying her long black hair with it. She noticed on the the side of her sink a pile of clothing with a small black card laying on top.

For a new beginning - the Hokage. She read.

She grabbed her new set of clothing and got dressed. The tight navy top with long sleeves fit perfectly. Over it, she wore a shorter and looser sandy brown colored shirt. The collar was high and the sleeves were long as well. She tied a silver buckle vest just below the chest and slipped on the plain black shorts.

That man had a sense of style.

She took a glance in her mirror and brushed her long hair away from her face, she ran a finger over her right eye softly before changing her mind and brushing it back over it.

She put on her sandal and opened her front door to reveal a grinning Naruto.

"How did you know I lived here?" She asked a bit scared of the answer.

He grinned "I asked Iruka-Sensei. Today is the Genin exam. I am finally getting one step closer to becoming Hokage but first ramen!"

He grabbed her and dragged her to this little restaurant. The owner who went by the name of Teuchi, took their order.

"I've never eaten ramen before." Aira mentioned to them.

"What?!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Also I didn't bring my wallet." She awkwardly laughed.

He grinned. "No problem! I'll feed you."

After Naruto finished his eleventh bowl of ramen, they finally headed off for the academy.

They entered their classroom and walked over to his seat. Aira took the free seat between him and the Uchiha boy.

Sasuke glanced at her from the corner of his eye as he felt the bench shift. He through an annoyed expression to her way before turning his head in the other direction, resting his head in his palm.

Aira felt a wave of nostalgia but she shrugged the thought away and began talking to Naruto until a commotion in the door way of the class distracted them from their conversation.

"I arrived first, Ino-pig!" The pink haired girl screamed as she passed the classroom doors.

"No way, I was here first billboard brow!" A blond girl, Aira assumed her name was Ino, screamed as she reached the classroom at the same time.

"No way, I was here first so I get to sit next to Sasuke-kun" Sakura replied confidently.

So this is what this is about.

"Pathetic." Sasuke muttered as he heard his name cross her lips but Aira had heard.

"And you're rude." She whispered back to him.

He turned around to look at her but didn't say anything. He scowled at her before turning away once more.

He was a typical Uchiha. They were all mysterious and gorgeous, it seemed it was in their genes to attract the female population. They were dangerous to all the hearts out there.

Well that's what Naruto had told her yesterday.

Aira turned around to resume their conversation just to discover that Naruto was gone. She glanced around the room but found him crouching in front of Sasuke. His feet were firmly planted on their desk as he and Sasuke stared daringly into each others eyes but when the guy sitting in front, leaned back onto his seat, he bumped Naruto forward.

He fell into Sasuke, lips against lips.

Aira started to laugh loudly while both Sasuke and Naruto started to spit on the ground and try to wash their mouths with the back of their sleeves.

After some death threats and a beat up Naruto, courtesy of Sasuke's lovers, Iruka finally arrived.

"Class, we are gonna start the genin exam. You will be performing the clone jutsu." Aira could feel the panic rising inside Naruto so she gave him a reassuring smile. "Now, we'll start with Aira."

She followed their sensei into another classroom. Iruka sat beside another male shinobi with white hair who gave her a faux smile.

"Please create three clones" He instructed her.

Aira made the hand signs and successfully made the clones. This was something she had learned to performed as a younger child.

After passing with flying colors, she retired home, fully expecting to see Naruto among the graduates the next day.

She spend the rest of her say studying some Konoha politics before slipping into a deep sleep.

It was hours before she was woken up by a commotion outside her door.

She made her way out of the bedroom and past the living room, slightly tripping on the white carpet at her feet before putting her ear on the door.

"He stole it! Naruto stole the forbidden scroll."

What?

She ran back to her room, tripping on her carpet again before throwing on her clothing. She jumped through her window and jumped from rooftop to rooftop.

"He must be here somewhere." She muttered as she surveyed the village. She saw a flash of white and orange through some tree lines and followed after it.

She approached carefully, not wanting to give herself away. She saw the silhouette of three people. The first was Naruto.

"You're the nine-tailed fox, Naruto!" She heard a familiar voice scream.

Aira approached a little more and saw Iruka and the other sensei who had been at the examination.

Naruto performed a series of hand signs. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu."

Hundreds of Naruto clones appeared through the smoke. His clones began to attack the white haired shinobi who couldn't do much but let himself get beat up.

Aira was confused to say the least. She had cleared missed an important part but Iruka seemed to support Naruto.

Did they say that Naruto was a... jinchuuriki?

She quietly observed him and he tended to Iruka who was injured.

To be truthful, Naruto didn't seem like much to Aira but now she believed there was more to him that met the eyes. She them for a little lonegr as Iruka and Naruto exchanged a few words. Iruka handed Naruto his headband, congratulating him for passing his exam.

Naruto didn't pass the genin exam?

Naruto started to cry. His nose and eyes started to water as he engulfed Iruka in a big hug. Aira quietly chuckled as Iruka tried to pry Naruto off him before leaving them to their moment.

I hope Naruto and I end up on the same team.
