'Naruto' Dragon/Demon/Monster thoughts


Chapter: Team 7

"What wrong with my pictures old man?" Naruto asked as Hiruzen stares the picture of a Naruto with white paint face. Black eyelids with joker marks on his cheeks. He wear bloody red lipstick as his blond hair was slicked back. The blond also have a creepy smile that show his teeth.

"This picture is quite shocking Naruto. I don't know how and why you did this. I cannot accept this, you have to do another shot" The Third Hokage said as Naruto raises a eyebrow.

"What do you talk old man. I too a normal picture like anyone else" He took the picture out of Hiruzen's hands and his eyes widened as he forgot to show the right picture.

"I gave you the wrong picture. This is the right picture" Naruto show at the Third Hokage the good one. On the second picture, Naruto's face was perfectly normal as he had a blank look.

"So why did you use this disturbing picture Naruto-kun?" He asked with soft voice that cause Naruto to frown and take the wrong picture.

"For fun and this is not of your business old man. You may be the leader of this village but you have no authority to our personal life" Naruto replied coldly. Their relationship is now non-existent since the reveal from Boreas about the humans vessel situation. The young blond decide to not reveal this information but cut all ties with him and lose all his trust to the elder Hokage.

"Naruto, I don't know what I did you seen to be angry for some reason and I want to know why. I consider you like my own grandchildren" Naruto rolled his eyes.

'Sure and my mother is a S-Class Kenjutsu master or something like that. Good thing I sent a clone with Hinata-chan and Yakumo-chan' He thought as before he could replied, a battle cry was heard from the door.

"Fight me old geezer!" A young boy with a grey helmet with a hole at the top for his hair to stick out of. He has worn a long blue scarf with grey shorts and a yellow shirt with a red Konoha symbol printed on it and blue sandals and shuriken in his right hand. Before the young boy could threw it at the elder man. He stepped in his blue scarf causing him to fall right on the face.

''Damn! Who set a trap!''

"Not again" He said with a low voice as Naruto simply walked towards the door since that don't concern him. The young child must be really dumb to run with a long scarf. At the same time a man wearing black dark plain clothes and sunglasses appeared on the door way, panting a bit.

''Honorable grandson are you alright!'' The man asked. ''Pardon my observations but there no traps here, the surface is completely flat'' The man said as he regained his composure, pushing his sunglasses up on his nose in what Naruto thought stupid and return his stares on the young boy.

The boy got up as he stares the blond who stares as well. The sunglasses wearing man stares at the blond with disgust which Naruto notice.

'The Nine-Tailed Fox brat! the worse kind of troublemaker around'' The man thought as he sneered at the blonde. However, he didn't notice the sneer as the brown haired boy accused him and pointed with his finger.

"You're the one who made fall!" Naruto rolled his eyes as he frowned.

"You're the one who fall because of your scarf. Don't put the blame on me because you are stupid."

"No! You're the one who did it! You just want to accuse me you coward!" Furious Naruto take the boy by grabbing the scarf and pulled him close as he glared intensely the younger boy.

"You stupid damn brat! Don't blame me for you own mistake and you dare to insult a ninja."

"Naruto! This is the Honorable grandson of the third Hokage. Put him down" Naruto stares the boy surprise by the older man replied.

'This brat is related with the old monkey...who did he had sex with someone in the village' He thought as the revelation didn't shock him as he thought. Remembering that he had important thing to do.

'That's right big guy. He will stopped like the others because of Gramps' the younger boy thought as he was about to gloat, Naruto dropped the boy on the floor and punch him on the top of the head.

"Naruto! What do you do, you hut the Honorable grandson of Lord Hokage!" The man said as Naruto raises a eyebrow as he was about to leave the room.

"That doesn't give him the right to act like a little dick. He should learn to accuse people for his own mistakes and I don't give a shit if he was the bastard son of the old man" Naruto disappear in a blur of tornado leaving a surprise Hiruzen, a pissed of man and a shocked Konohamaru.

"This guy is not like the others..."


"What a waste of time. I can't believe that brat thinks that he can have anything because of his statue" Naruto said to himself as he walk toward the training field outside of the village. The blond boy remarked that nobody in the village talked about Mizuki's betray and he was sure that somebody found the body but the blond didn't care about that. He was focusing more on the elemental training of Hinata and Yakumo as he bumped into somebody as he fell on his butt-cheek.

"Hey! Watch your step!" Naruto said annoyed as he tried to see the person who made him fall. Then he saw the person in front of him and his eyes widened. The person was a beautiful woman in her late twenty. She had jade-green-coloured eyes and long violet hair. She had a hourglass figure with large breasts and fair skin. She wear the standard jonin uniform.

"I'm sorry. I didn't see you coming, are you alright?" The purple haired woman asked with worried tone that surprised the young blonde human vessel. Usually, when he someone, people had their usual glare or push without even saying sorry so when he heard the woman said those words, Naruto was quite shocked. He had a better look at the woman and he remarked that he never see this woman in the village and he personally know that almost every women wouldn't asked for well being.

''I'm fine...I just have something important and I didn't see you coming at me...I've to meet my friends and I don't want to be late'' Naruto said quite embarrassed as he scratch the back of his hair. The woman simply chuckles as she saw the headband on Naruto's arm.

''It's alright, just be careful next time'' Naruto nodded his head and quickly runs but was stopped by the purple haired ninja behind.

''I know that this sounds a bit strange to you but can you help me finding the training fields? I'm still new to this village and you can see that villagers don't really like foreigners'' she said with a little smile as Naruto turned toward her with a curious glance.

''Really? This is the place I was going to reach. So you came from another village huh?''Naruto asked. He never heard or see ninja outside the village, even in peace the relation of the five Five Great Shinobi Countries are quite tense and barely tolerable.

''Exactly, I'm Natsuhi of Hoshi'' Naruto's blue eyes widened at the mention of Hoshi. Boreas told him the tales of a hidden village located at the same location of a of a meteorite. He also said that some ninja learn to use an energy similar to stellar elements but few had survive.

''Really? You must come very far away!'' she nodded her head in agreement.

''I'm become a Jonin of Konoha recently and I can remarked that not everyone is fan of strangers but at least I made some friends'' she said with a small smile as Naruto couldn't help but saw her green eyes hallow for some reasons.

''Well I hope you will feel like home. I'm Naruto Uzumaki and genin, nice to meet you'' he pointed with a big smile. Natsuhi's jade green eyes widened at the name of the young blonde. She heard all the rumours about the young Uzumaki and his statue of being vessel by the Third Hokage. Naruto was worried for a little bit after he reveal his name, he know that being the jailer of the Nine Tail Fox will destroy his future relation with another ninja but hope that the foreigner will not judge him. Fortunately, the woman of Hoshi didn't give him the traditionally glare as she simply smile and shape up the hand of the blonde ninja.

''Nice too meet you Naruto Uzumaki. I notice that you probably just got your headband right?'' Naruto nodded his head.

''Yeah and I can't wait to know who is going to be my future sensei and teammates. I hope that you join the team of my friends but since I'm one of the strongest probably not'' he said. Naruto hated sometime the system or the person who made the teams.

''I hope that I will get you as my future students. I think you're one the rarest person who is willing to talk with you show me the way? I've yet to find where the training grounds are for the team placement'' Naruto nodded his head with a big smile.

''Sure, I hope to get you as sensei Natsuhi-san'' the two ninja continued their way as they didn't see the grandson of the Third Hokage looking their way.


Third Training Ground

''Hi guys!...Ino what are you doing here?'' Naruto asked as he saw Hinata and Yakumo stared with a annoyed look at Ino who simply waved her hand with a large smile.

''Hi Naruto-kun! I saw Hinata and Yakumo walking toward the training ground and when they said you going to teach them something very cool so I decide to join. Are you happy to see me?'' she asked with a warm tone as Naruto feel a huge amount of negative energy in the training ground which was odd since before he arrived, everything was normal.

''Y-Yeah I-I quite surprise but happy to see you'' he replied with a nervous smile as Natsuhi looked the scene with curiosity.

''I-I'm sure that you have something more important than training Ino-san. After all training requires sweating and being covered with dirt" Hinata said. Everyone in their class knew that the pale haired blond is one of the most superficial and vain in the class but that quite changed when she started to hang out with them. She dropped her diet much to her parents's joy and because of Naruto's encouragement, she was the fourth place after Sastuki, Hinata and Yakumo.

''Not really, I was suppose to work at the shop but my dad decide to give me a day off and I can't wait to show Naruto-kun a technique that I developed myself'' Hinata frowned. The dark blue haired Hyuga knew that the blond was quite skilled but her not secret crush can't see when a girl who tried to get his attention but at least she was happy that the blonde will never take advantage.

''Really that's sound really cool Ino! Before we start, everyone this is Natsuhi-san, she came from from another ninja village far away'' The three female ninja saw the purple haired woman who had a small on her pale face. The three fresh genin couldn't help but feel inferior for obvious reasons.

''Nice too meet you Natsuhi-san I hope that you enjoyed the village'' Yakumo said.

''This is not bad I will get use to it so why are four newly made genin like you do in the training ground before the team selection. You should rest before tomorrow?'' she asked.

''I promise them that I will help them find out what their chakra nature is, I already found mine and since maybe we wont be on the same team, it would be nice if they have a advantage'' Naruto explained as he take paper from his pocket.

''You're already found your affinity Naruto-kun?'' Ino asked as the whiskered blond nodded his head and grab one paper and suddenly the paper was divide by two; one side turn wrinkle and the other wet.

"I got three elements; Lightning, Wind, Water and Yang. I already mastered wind but I still need to work with the another'' he explained.

''Whoa! You have three elements, that's amazing Naruto-kun'' Ino complimented to the another blond.

'This is pretty amazing for a young genin to have three elements but already working on an element that is very rare in this village is more amazing. This Uzumaki is something more that I thought' the purple haired jonin thought as Naruto gave three slips of paper to Hinata, Ino and Yakumo.

''You just need to put a small amount of chakra in the paper and I can you show the base'' the three kunoichi nodded their head and there quickly gathered a small quantity of chakra in their fingers. The young Uzumaki raised a eyebrow, surprised by the elements, Yakumo was Wind and Earth, Hinata was Lightning and Fire(which was a shock for him) Ino got Lightning and Water.

''This is so cool that all of got two elements, especially you Ino. I guess you're more special than I though. Natsuhi-san, do you want to stay with us?'' Naruto asked as he didn't see the brown haired young girl glared the platinum blonde girl who seem to be very happy by the compliment of the whiskered blond.

'I want to crush her in half...'

'I agree!' Ido thought as well.

''I would like too but I need to do something very important. I hope our paths will meet again, see you next time Naruto Uzumaki, girls'' the jonin disappear in a mist of smoke, leaving the four genin alone. 'Too bad Ino is here, I can't show her my Sky Release, she's the gossip girl in the village and the old man will be aware of Boreas-sensei' he sighed as he return his attention to his friends.

''Are you alright N-Naruto-kun?'' Hinata asked with concern.

''It's fine, I'm just wondering what teacher I will get tomorrow and I hoping that will be Natsuhi-san, she's very nice.''

''Even we're not in the same team I hope we will still hang out each others and maybe will get Natsuhi-san'' Yakumo said. She was not naive, her blond friend will probably pair up with Shin or Sastuki. Yakumo didn't have any problem with Shin since they're quite friends but she don't like the loner Uchiha. She rather spend her time with Ino rather than Ice Queen. At least with her, you have an conversation even if it can be really annoying, speaking of the Uchiha. When Naruto explained the exercise, Sastuki Uchiha prepared herself for the team selection tomorrow.


Meanwhile, Uchiha Former District, Training Ground

Sastuki was alone in her family training ground, she glared at the targets that were placed in every direction with target marks on them, she took a deep breath and jumped into the air and launched three kunai in the same direction, two on her right, four behind her back and three shuriken at her right side and before she could land on the floor, she did some hand signs and yelled. ''Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique!'' she expelled a large fireball that took the form of a number of dragon head-shaped fireballs which all hit the same spot of the kunai which resulting mini explosion for her satisfaction.

''One more try and I would be ready for tomorrow. No way dobe will ignoring me after that'' she panted after training his jutsu all day. Since her defeat against the blond, Sastuki vow to defeat the blond and see her as his equal, she was not blind, her statue of being the Uchiha didn't made her invincible and she was annoyed that she couldn't activate her Sharingan and the fact that the blonde ignored her after the massacre. At first she didn't understand why Naruto seem to ignored her, she thought at first that Naruto was giving her space but she know something was wrong when the blonde didn't give any attention and she was deeply hurt and even more when the blond befriended the weakling Hyuga and the new student Kurama. Since then, she tried to recreate the bond they created but each temptation ended in multiple failures and she become frustrated when the whiskered blond was nice with the another blond.

She sighed and took a deep breath and looked at her surroundings, she had to change tactics if she want to befriend the blond, she needed to change her tactics and maybe befriend his friends...even Ino. She was extremely sure that if she play the right cards, the blonde will help her become strong enough to defeat Izumi and rebuild her clan. She blushed at the last thought. She couldn't lie to herself, Naruto was starting to become very attractive and his whiskered are meant to rubbed. She knew that the blond was pretty obvious with feelings but she hoped that he wasn't totally clueless. To the Uchiha's eyes, Naruto was the only one worthy of her affection and no way she will let the shy Hyuga put her claw on him.

''I'm sure dobe would like me to be on this team. Who doesn't want to be to paired up with the last Uchiha'' she said to herself when she returned to her training but had a little smile on her face.


Hokage Office

''Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi, Aoba Yamashiro and Natsuhi Shikimi, moving forward'' the called jonin moved at the front of the elder Kage who is sitting at his right side. Natsuhi was looked at her right side to have a better look of her comrade: the first one was a tall man with spiky silver hair, dark grey eyes, and typically a relaxed, heavy-lidded expression, his left side is covered with his forehead protector. This, combined with the mask he has used to cover the lower half of his face for seemingly his entire life, prevents most of his face from being visible. He wears the Konoha's standard uniform: a flak jacket, dark blue pants, and a long-sleeve shirt. He also wears finger-less gloves with metal plates on the backhand and is seen with a chain necklace underneath and dark blue sandals. The second one was a a tall man, with brown eyes, olive skin, short black spiky hair, and a beard. His clothing consisted of the standard Konoha ninja uniform with the sleeves rolled up half way, flak jacket, regular shinobi sandals and forehead protector. He also wore a sash that had the kanji for "Fire" marked on it around his waist, a pair of black bangles, and bandages wrapped around the arms of his sleeves. The third one was a fair-skinned woman of slender build. She has long black untamed hair reaching her upper back, and very unique eyes that are red in colour, with an additional ring in them. She wears make-up consisting of red lipstick and purple eye shadow. Her regular outfit consists of a red mesh armour blouse with only the right sleeve visible. Overall, this is very broad material which resembles bandages with a pattern on it similar to those of rose thorns. Her hands and upper thighs are also wrapped in bandages and she wears the Konoha forehead protector and regular shinobi sandals, she was quite beautiful. The last one was a man with dark, spiky hair and is always seen wearing red-framed sunglasses which obscures his eyes. He wears the standard Konoha shinobi outfit complete with flak jacket and forehead protector, the latter of which is worn slightly tilted to the left.

''Kakashi, your team is Team 7 and your genin are: Shin Hatake, Sastuki Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki. Kurenai, your team is Team 8 and your genin are: Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame. Asuma your team is Team 10 and your genin are: Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka. Aoba, your team is Team 11 and your genin are: Sai Shimura, Sakura Haruno and Sun Sarutobi. And lastly Natsuhi, your team is Team 13 and your genin are: Yakumo Kuruma, Ryugo Nara and Kogasu Sunji'' some jonin are surprise by the teams placement, especially team 7 who composed of the three student who fought for the place of the rookie of the year. Which had Naruto Uzumaki, the village pariah, vessel of the Nine Tail Fox in the three top student but succeed the Clone Test with flying color. But the thing that attract most attention is Sai Shimura. Every jonin know that the family name is the same of Danzo, leader of the organization called Root, ex-member of the Konoha Council and Hiruzen's close friend. The Third was suspicious that his old friend send one of his root agent in the academy for obvious reason. He even ask Iruka to report if the boy did something wrong but unlucky for the old man. Sai was a calm child and constantly wearing fake smiles and drawing in his notebook.

''Actually Hokage-sama, I've a request to ask'' She said bluntly for every jonin's surprise.

''What it is Natsuhi-san?'' Hiruzen asked.

''I want Naruto Uzumaki in my squad'' she replied seriously for the elder man and the scared chunin surprise.

''Can I ask why? This is a odd to make a changing'' Hiruzen added. He was curious by the strange request made by the foreigner.

''This is a little bit unfair that we put the three strongest rookies in the same team when another teams could benefit. I read the files and I found a bit odd to put Naruto Uzumaki with Shin Hatake and Sastuki Uchiha. Normally, a team like this need a balance. Uzumaki had a good chakra control with a chakra superior that any chunin, he could easily work with others, his Ninjutsu skills are very impressive and smarter than he looks. But he is quite headstrong and his position as vessel can compromise his training. Hatake had proficiency with Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, his intelligence could be very helpful for the team but prideful and very competitive with Uzumaki and Uchiha although this is quite minor but could cost their life in a mission. Uchiha is a special kind, she can be benefit for the team but she didn't have any interest to work with another and she also posses the competitive side and arrogance of the Uchiha clan. So I asked again this a little bit unfair to put the strongest genin of this class in a single team. Kakashi may be an excellent teacher for Shin and Sastuki because they're share the same clan and he had the Sharingan abut what about Uzumaki?'' the jonin are perplex by the declaration of the purple foreign jonin.

Hiruzen stares the purple jonin coming from Hoshi. He remember a time when the village needed his help but him and the Konoha Council refuse too help since many Hidden Village didn't considered their village like a true ninja village which resulting the dead of ninety percent villagers with the ninja and Hoshikage by unknown group of village. He didn't feel bad to for not helping although the village could have allies and accept Natsuhi for her Star Release which could be benefit if she would married someone from the village but that not the case since he vow to never get married again after the dead of her husband and son. He didn't wish the death of many lives but the village came first and they couldn't deal with another war.

''I thought many time about the team and I came in the conclusion that was best for Konoha. You may not aware but Naruto Uzumaki is the vessel of the Nine Tail Fox and an important tool for the village. He may not show any influence from the fox, his loyalty toward the village is questionable. I decide to put under Kakashi's care because he had the Sharingan. The Sharingan is also known to control a Tailed Beast but as you said, he can be very beneficial with the other teams but this is also for Konoha's image'' this sentence made the jonin confused.

''We have the assault team and strongest team; composed of the legendary Kakashi of the Sharingan. A young prodigy coming from the same clan. The last loyal Uchiha and one of the last who posses a True Sharingan and finally the vessel of the Nine Tail Fox and also in the position of the strongest Rookie. Everyone will fear them, admired them with the potential to become the next generation of Sanin. For the next two months they will train with other teams to help them to become great ninjas" Natsuhi stay silent for a couple of minutes after listing the old man until she stares at the silver haired jonin who doesn't seem to care about everything but she didn't let the appearance fool her.

''Hopefully this Team 7 don't become another tragedy. I've nothing to say'' Natsu said as she glance one more time the silver haired jonin.

''All you can dismiss expect you Kakashi and Natsuhi'' The other jonin nodded their head and left the room expect the two named Jonin who stand in front the elder man. Hiruzen stand up and look the window, he took a deep breath and speak without turning his back.

''This is a reason why I call you and made the team. You see, I worried for the future of the village but also some newly ninja. Naruto cut any contact with me and every time I tried to reach out to him, he pushed me away and he stopped trying become friends with the others expect for Hinata Hyuga and Yakumo Kurama. I'm scared that Naruto doesn't considered Konoha his home and someday become just like Orochimaru or even worse. I know that Naruto will have no problem working with others expect that his attitude could affect the team especially with Sastuki Uchiha. Kakashi, I need you to make sure Naruto doesn't fall in the darkness and become the kind of ninja that Minato and Kushina wanted him to be.''

"Hai Hokage-sama!" Kakashi felt ashamed that he never was there for the young blonde. He was to depressed that he forgot the son of his sensei, his last connection. Losing his sensei and a woman who he saw like a big sister was very harsh on him and causing him to join the Anbu to deal with the pain, but this was redemption. He could repair what he did and have a relationship to the young blond.

''What about Sastuki Uchiha?''

''This is another reason why they are in the same team. Sastuki and Naruto are childhood friends but Naruto for reasons I don't understand cut her off but if the two spend time together and become rivals, this is will benefit the both of them. She still affected so be really careful with her...'' Kakashi nodded his head as Hiruzen turns his head toward Natsuhi.

''As you Natsuhi, the reason I place you those genin with you is they don't trust any Konoha citizen or ninja including me'' Natsuhi was confused, how three fresh genin couldn't even trust the Hokage.

''I don't understand how three children couldn't an authority figure. Why this is special about those three genin?'' the old Hokage sighed and speak.

''The problem with Yakumo Kurama is that three years ago, her father came to me to helping with his daughter condition since her body was very weak at this time. I sent Kurenai Yuhi to help her by learning Genjutsu but the Kekkei Genkai of her clan is quite volatile and an accident happen but nothing happened but Yakumo was deeply affected. I tried to talk with her but she refuses any contact with me and Kurenai. Kogasu Yuzuki and Ryugo Nara are future lose canons"

"Lose Canon?''

''Kakashi, do you remember what happen after the Uchiha massacre?'' Kakashi thought for a while as he suddenly remembered what topic the elder Kage speak.

''You mean about ten pair Sharingan stole in the morgue'' the elder Kage nodded his head when the purple haired jonin was completely lost.

''What you do mean stole? Why someone would steal the an pair of eyeballs in their own village?'' That didn't make any sense.

''After all of the Uchiha Clan expect Sastuki fell on the blade of Izumi Uchiha and everyone died. The council and me go at the conclusion that the Sharingan needed to be sealed otherwise our enemies could invade us take the eyeball or even worse the last loyal Uchiha we have. But something happen when we transferred the corpses. The persons in charge was putted in a powerful Genjutsu only match by Shisui Uchiha.''

''Did you found who did this?'' Hiruzen shocked his head negatively.

''Unlucky, we never did found who stole the eyes but one anbu found five suspects with overwhelming evidence and no alibi. Some report said that they was trafficking with an infamous missing- nin Orochimaru'' The two jonin's eyes widened at the mention of one of the Sanin and one of the most powerful ninja in this era. Natsuhi heard the rumours about the Snake Sage and the twisted experimentation on his own kind. only a twisted individual can admired his work.

''The suspects are the parents of the two genin I suppose'' Hiruzen nodded his head in agreement.

''Indeed. And to prevent a future mistake of this kind...usually we will send them to Blood Prison for a certain amount of time but the Council came to the idea that Orochimaru could prevent that so we...'' Natsuhi finished his sentence.

''Execute them publicly at the sight of all villagers to show an example for the greedy ones who think they can steal the village property'' Kakashi remembered the execution permanently. Konoha never was active for that kind of practice. Even at the beginning of the village but during the reign of Tobirama, but it was quite suggested.

"I tried to explain to the traitor's families but you see they didn't take it very well. I'm very regretful for what I did but I will do anything for the sake of this village. The life of five people can't be compared to thousands of people" Natsuhi did understand her position but she didn't agree to the reasons of the old Hokage.

"I want both of you to have reports on your team every month and if they're progressing or if they regress'' both jonin nodded their head and left the room without any words leaving the old kage with Iruka.

''Are you alright Hokage-sama?'' Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't replied as he return his attention to the window and sighed deeply as he feels his old age.

'What you will think of me Minato...Will you blame me for Naruto's condition or if take five innocent lives for protecting the village by creating a lie?' the Third Hokage thought.


''That was quite a bummer. Naruto was about to show us his Sky Release and this bimbo had to followed us!'' yelled an annoyed Yakumo with Hinata at her side in the street of Konoha in the afternoon. Naruto decide to stop their training to be at their team selection although he decided to still help Ino to succeed the first step to change your chakra nature. Naruto could refuse but can't deal against the puppy-eye jutsu which Yakumo decided to use later on the blond.

''This is what Naruto-kun does best, helping others when needed. I-I just hope that we will see each other'' Hinata didn't show it but she was quite nervous about tomorrow. Like Yakumo, the white eyed young girl know that the chance of being in the same team of the blonde are really slim, same thing with her brown haired best friend.

''I pretty sure we do. I mean no way Naruto could support miss Ice Queen all the time and he promise us to reveal what he capable, only us and nobody can change the fact that all of us after mission or training together, Naruto can also create both clone just to see us so I'm not that worried'' Yakumo smiled a bit. It will be weird not seeing Hinata and Naruto everyday, specially if she is paired with strangers. She can handle herself in public but the brown haired young girl had difficulty making new friends or to trust someone but the blond did break her shell a bit.

''I-I hope so too Y-Yakumo-san. We can see each other at Ichiraku Ramen after every training session and m-mission. I just still hope that Naruto-kun can be paired with one of us'' it was pretty obvious that the dark blue haired girl crushed very hard on the blond, only someone blind or an idiot would say the opposite. She was not blind enough to let her jealousy take over and curse any girl that the whiskered blonde will have for a teammate although, she will be very annoyed if it Sastuki Uchiha was in the same team.

"Me too. I quite curious to who is going to be my teammates" the two young girls continued their conversation as they completely ignored the glance of the white eyed little girl who started her older sister with envy.

"Big sister..."


Meanwhile, Third Training Ground

"So what do you want to show me Ino?" the two blondes stayed in the training field at Ino's request. Naruto was annoyed and yet curious why the blonde request his presence. Ino was with her fan-girls, even they treated them with respect as to not hurt their feelings but he still felt very annoyed.

''A secret technique from my clan that was lost from many generations. I got curious and I taught myself since nobody in my clan has knowledge of this. Here I am'' Ino take a deep breath and made a strange sign and gathered chakra charkra and for Naruto's surprise, an purple stared to glow in her palm.

''Mind Release: Mind Blast Jutsu!'' a ray of purple chakra erupted from her hand hit a tree that shatter in half in a couple of second. The platinum blonde sweated but happy of the result, then she turn to the another blonde who was completely shocked for what he witness.

''How did you do that? I never see a jutsu like that'' Naruto asked.

''You can call that mental chakra or psychic energy. Basically I can change my chakra and use Psionics such as; telekinesis, telepathy. This justu can hurt mentally and touch your nervous system or physical. I have to be really careful since that damages my brain. But what do you think Naruto-kun?'' Naruto was lost in his thought.

'To thinks someone like Ino can learn an jutsu like that made wonder what happen if she reach her full potential and there are more Kekkei Genkai than I thought. But at least I know clans have more secret than they show but if Ino's clan have cool psychic justu, why nobody use them? To think I was special about my Sky Release' Naruto remarked as Ino tried to grab his attention.

''What it is Ino?''

''I said what did you think about my jutsu Naruto-kun'' she asked annoyed with a bossy tone and puffed her cheeks.

''Ah! That was awesome! Who knew you can reach that kind of level. You're more better than most girls in class'' he replied with a Fox grin.

''Stop it Naruto-kun, you will make me blush'' Ino hid the red blush on her cheeks when Naruto sighed, happy to find an nice save.

''That was close...I just hope that I will get anything but her on my team'' Naruto said as he thinking about tomorrow.


Next Day. Konoha Academy

The freshly graduated students talked loudly how they were excited about becoming ninjas and wondered who was going to paired with who, most of them hope to pair with Sastuki or Shin and even Naruto. Speaking of Naruto, the blonde was deeply concentrated in his Fuinjutsu book, at his side was Hinata who was eat his cinnamon roll and Yakumo was drawing on her notepad. Iruka looked over his class with pride, another generation of ninja that will carried the will of fire, he put his attention onto the blonde. He knew that Naruto was coming from very far. He first started as the Dead-last in his class and then became one of the three strongest students. Iruka could help but feel glad and proud that Naruto worked hard to get to were he was at and yet, even he become distant, more calm and stopped his pranks, he's the same Naruto that walk in this class.

Then, Iruka cleared his throat as a sign to get everyone's attention on him. ''Starting today, all of you are not academy students but full-fledged ninja. But in the ranks of ninja you all are in the lowest rank in ninja hierarchy. However the first step has now been made and you're greatest challenges are now ahead you of you. For the next stage, you twenty seven genin will be assigned into three man squads, with each squad being assigned a jonin, who will supervise and continue your training from here but don't forget one thing. Everything you do will reflect our village and I want you to wear them with pride and make the village proud, Shinobi are born and raised, grow and die. They fight and protect their village. We may not share the same blood but everyone in the village is a part in the same family. I want you to made your village, your family proud.''

Many genin are awe by the speech of Iruka expect for a couple of people including Naruto and Yakumo who seem to glare her drawing for some reason. If Naruto didn't meet the Sky Demon, he will probably share the same ideas, wasting his potential for hypocrites who hated a child for the only crime to be born on the same day of the Nine Tails Attack. Naruto decided to follow his own nindo without any influence by words or let someone decide his fate.

Then, Iruka stared the team placement. Naruto didn't put any attention for Team 1-6 until he heard the first name came up for Team 7.

''Team 7 will be Uchiha Sastuki, Hatake Shin...Uzumaki Naruto'' Iruka stop to see the reaction of each member of Team 7. Shin simply shrugged, he was hoping to be pair with his best friend Sun or Hinata but he didn't feel disappointed either. He was eager to see the true result of his team. Sastuki simply had a satisfied smirk on her pale face, she had the blond in her team and that was matter for her. She don't really care about Hatake although she was quite glad that the last member as not one of her many fan-boys. Naruto was the only one who didn't share the news positively. He hit the desk with his head repetitively when Yakumo patted his back for moral support.

''I hate my life'' he said with a low voice.

''Don't worry Naruto. It could of have worse than Sastuki'' Yakumo was annoyed she couldn't help but feel pissed about the team selection, a feeling that Hinata shared as well. Iruka sweat-dropped at the whiskered blonde reaction. He expected something more loud but this was quite weird, even for Naruto.

''Alright...Team 8 will be Hyuga Hinata, Aburame Shino and Inuzuka Kiba. Team 9 is still in circulation so Team 10 will be Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji. Team will be Haruno Sakura, Shimura Sai and Sarutobi Sun. And lastly, Team 12 will be Kurama Yakumo, Nara Ryugo and Kosagu Yuzuki'' the last team attract the whiskered blond attention. He never heard the names of Yakumo's future teammates since he arrived in Iruka's class. He looked at the students in the class only to see two young boys his age standing in at the bottom of the class with different emotion on each face.

Kosagu Yuzuki was a young boy with spiky orange hair, which is kept in strands jutting outwards in every direction, and a smaller, frontal cowlick tuft of hair partially hanging over his forehead. He has slanted, slit pupiled, hazel eyes and light tan skin. He seemed to wear a sleeveless, gold trimmed, red waistcoat, often left open and untucked, exposing his bare chest. Beige pants with a kunai holder on his right leg, black sandals and bandages on his right arm and arm with a red forehead protector worn as a belt. Ryugo was a young boy with rather messy black hair, which almost reaches down to his shoulders and his hair is brushed to the right side of his face covering up his right brown eye. He wears a loose-fitting two-toned white kimono jacket with sleeves that reached his wrist, tied by a thick black belt, and a pair of black pants and black sandals.

Naruto could help but feel an strange feeling with those two as the orange haired boy saw his curious glance and let a small grin on his face, waved his hand at the blond. When the black haired boy simply didn't any interest in the class.

''Strange'' he return his attention to the scared chunin saying that they have to wait their jonin sensei. But he return to his attention to Yakumo who seem to be surprise as well by the her teammates. The blond vessel didn't know why, he felt a burning sensation in his stomach.


One Hour later

The member of Team 7 waited patiently for their sensei when the other teams already leaves leaving Naruto, Sastuki and Shin in the almost empty classroom. Naruto was reading his notes about seals, Shin stares the ceiling lazily and Sastuki was silently fuming against their late sensei. How someone can be late at this important date, she looks at her teammates. The whiskered blond was reading something and the silver haired boy was about to play with his kunai, normally she will not care and lose herself in her thoughts but since it was her chance to restart with the blonde, she will take it.

''This is a waste of time. I don't want to wait for two more hours about someone who don't have any manner to be in time. I will eat something, someone want to join me?'' Naruto and Shin raised their head at the raven haired girl declaration.

''I guess that will not be bad. We could have our first meal as a team'' Shin said as he finally stop playing with his kunai when Naruto was stares his new teammates with suspicious. He never heard Sastuki said the words eat and join me in the same phrase. He was a little upset by the team placement but he had to get over it. He couldn't let his emotion and past experiences control him and he was quite hungry as well.

''I think this the first time that you said something that I agree teme. We can eat at Ramen Ichiraku. This is not very far and this cheap'' Naruto stated. Shin tapped his chin as he finally let a small smile on his face.

''It been a while since me and Sun eat there so why not." He knew that Naruto stared to made effort to be civil with them. His rivalry was only based on their strength and Hinata's attention but deep down, the silver haired Hatake knew that Naruto was a good guy despise what everyone in the village said about him. Then, perhaps he could develop a friendship with the blonde and the last loyal Uchiha. ..he almost laughed at the thought of becoming friends Sastuki Uchiha.

Naruto sealed his notes in a seal on his forearms only to be take away by Sastuki. Naruto was completely confuse by the black haired girl action.

Hey! What are you doing teme?'' Naruto asked.

''I hungry and you take too much time. Girls like me don't like to wait, specially when you're the ones who will pay for me'' she replied with a smirk. The whiskered blonde glanced at the last loyal Uchiha if she's grown a second head and yelled for what the reason why he should paid when the silver haired boy simply chuckles at the view of his teammates.

''Well look things will never get boring with those two.''


Two hours later

''That's hit the spot. I think we all do the right decision. The teacher is not even here'' Shin stated as Team 7 arrived to the empty classroom only to find empty again.

''I found this dish quite good but you have to moderate dobe. Eating that kind of food will have an impact on your diet'' Sastuki remarked as Naruto rolled his blue orbs. Since Iruka made the teams, the black haired girl seem to be more talkative for Naruto's liking. He did find surprising at first but that start to get annoying.

''You don'y need to remind me teme. But why you don't give some life advice to Shin? I sure we would like to listen'' Sastuki didn't say anything as she stared at his blue orbs. Naruto started to feel awkward until she finally respond.

''Hatake doesn't need any advice but you on the other hand. You may be one of the strongest genin in our year but you have some issues to deal with. You need someone who can deal with your antics and make sure that you act like a proper shinobi. you should feel grateful that I put my attention on you'' Sastuki was smirked mentally, her first attempts to befriend the blonde was success. She still needed some works but she was satisfied at the end. At this rate, she will reach another step in her goal. Naruto's eyes narrowed, he was about to replied at Sastuki but someone entered in the room. It was a man with the standard jonin outfit with a mask covered his face and his headband covering his left right eye. He had spiky silver hair, dark grey eyes, and typically a relaxed, heavy-lidded expression.

"Team 7" he asked with a bored tone.

The three genin stared the jonin with as they could believe it what they seeing. They waited for three hours and all they got was a man who doesn't look professional and very bored.

"Yeah Cyclops?" Naruto waited for a reaction from the jonin but sadly form him, the jonin didn't react at all and seem to completely ignored the blonde.

''My first impression of you...'' he paused for a moment to build up suspense. '' I don't like any of you.'' the three genin deadpanned and couldn't believe it the words of the man as they all thought in the same time.

'That's our sensei...he's nothing like a badass!'

'I heard rumors about Kakashi-san but I was hoping that they are not true.'

'Konoha have pretty low standard when they choosing their jonin.'


''Alright, since we're all here, why don't all introduce yourselves?'' Kakashi suggested in tone that sound like he didn't really care who they were. The three genin and the jonin was in the room in the Academy building for any kind reason. Kakashi was sitting on the rail when the three genin sat on the step. Naruto on the right. Shin in the middle and Sastuki in the left.

''Why you shouldn't introduce yourself to us first'' Shin asked.

''Oh me? Sure why not, my name is Hatake Kakashi, my likes...I don't feel like telling you that...dislikes...are none of your business. Dreams for the future...Well I have lots of hobbies..'' The three genin sweat-dropped by the man's declaration.

'He only said his name...' they all thought in the same time.

''Now let's start with Goldilocks over here'' he pointed at Naruto. The blonde frowned at the nickname the jonin gave him but decide to ignored it.

''My name is Uzumaki Naruto, my likes are training, ramen, making seals, taking care of plants, Hinata-chan and Yakumo-chan. My dislike are the time to cook a ramen, arrogant fools, rapists, people who can make the difference between a kunai and a scroll it's sealed into, eighty percent of the villagers'' his said with a darker tone that surprise the two genin expect Kakashi who understand what Naruto was referting to.

''My hobbies are training, learning and training with Fuinjutsu and hanging out with my friends. My dream for the future...'' before meeting Boreas, his dream was to become Hokage and have the people acknowledgment but stopped after learning the hard truth. But then, he befriended Hinata and Yakumo and her parents who are nothing but nice with him. Then, he thought about his father figure, who raise him and treat him like son despite the race difference.

''Is to make someone important proud of me'' Kakashi raised an eyebrow as he couldn't figured who the blonde was thinking of. He knew that was not the third Hokage since they not talk in years or Iruka. 'He is quite different from what the third or his teacher in the academy said about him, he reminds me a bit of sensei and Kushina-san.' The jonin made a mental note to watch the blond over more carefully. But he was glad that the blond has someone to care about him.

''Alright then, next'' Shin started to talk.

''My name is Hatake Shin, my likes are training, hanging out with Sun, dango and animals. My dislikes are peoples who treat animals and people like trash and try to justified their actions for it, bullies and arrogant peoples. My dream is to make my clan proud and become a legend like the Silver Fang or the Sanin. And my hobbies are training, learning new justus and Kenjutsu.'' Kakashi could help but feel proud that someone wants to a legend like his father, he would help this teams to become legends.

''Lastly, Emo queen over here'' Sastuki glared the sliver haired jonin as hr two teammates glance at her with curiosity. She take a deep breath, she need to show that she was not someone unsocial and to have Naruto's friendship, she will have to share a little bit of herself.

''My name is Uchiha Sastuki, my likes are training, tomatoes and certain someone'' she said with a certain amount of pink of her cheeks that cause the eyes of Naruto and Shin nearly popped from their orbit. "I have a ton of dislikes and I don't have a dream but an ambition. The resurrection of my clan and kill and surpass a certain someone.''

As Sastuki finished her speech, her teammates and the jonin had varying reactions.

'I remember that her clan was wipe out her own sibling but I need to found who she's like' Shin glance the black haired girl like a predator who wait to his prey to make any movement.

'Who knew she like tomatoes...' Naruto thought, but was curious why the ravenette want to kill the person who killed her clan since sometimes when he slept, he dreamed of two pair of red eyes with three tomoe.

'Like I thought' Kakashi sighed. The jonin had to figured out he could change the path of the black haired girl. 'But I think this is a beginning' He remarked that Sastuki stares discretely the whiskered blonde who didn't put any attention.

''So far the introduction. Tomorrow we will start our duties as shinobi.''

''What kind of duties?'' Naruto asked, eager to finally show his skills as a ninja.

''First we are going to do something with just the four of us, a survival exercise'' Kakashi looked over at the different reactions, most it was surprise. However, Naruto was not convince.

''Survival exercise? We already took those back in the Academy!''

''This is isn't an normal training like you see in the academy. This time I'm going to be your opponent'' Kakashi stated with a unseen smirk.

''Then, what kind of training is it?'' Sastuki asked.

Kakashi started to chuckle, causing the three students to give him odd looks ranging from confusion to consternation and annoyance.

''What's so funny sensei?'' Shin asked.

''Well, it's just that, when I tell you this you guys are totally going scared" Kakashi laughed once more.

Sastuki glared at the man fiercely. "Try me. Fear is unknown in my vocabulary.''

''Oh don't worry Sastuki I will'' Kakashi declared before becoming serious. ''Of the twenty seven graduates that made it this far, only nine will actually be accepted as genin. The other eighteen will be weeded out and send back to the academy. In other words, this make it or break it pass fail test, with the chances of passing being at least 66%.''

Shin's widened as he started to worry for his friend since if only nine genin pass the test, the other have to start again. Which mean that Sun will have to start again. The black haired was confident that her team will succeed this test with flying colors. After all, the team was composed of the strongest genin in the class. Naruto was about to asking why but he preferred to listen the jonin explanation.

''Anyway, tomorrow I'm the one who gets to decide whether you three pass or fall. Be at Training Ground 7 at 5:00 am. You have to show your skills on the training ground and bring all your gear and weapons'' the sliver haired jonin paused for a moment before giving them the clincher.. ''And skip breakfast, all of you will throw up'' then, the jonin disappeared in puff of smoke leaving the three genin in their thoughts.

'Another test? I can't train my seals overnight or read my notes. I need all my energy and concentration to fight with this guy. I hope Hinata-chan and Yakumo-chan will succeed!'

'There is no way the three of us can fail this test but I need to warn Sun and no way I will let my best buddy fail at this test.'

'I came this far and no way I will fail this test' she sent a last glance to the whiskered blonde who was lost in his thought and let a small smile on her pale face.

'With Naruto, there is no reason to fail' she leaves the roof with a satisfied smirk.


''So have to defeat your sensei to pass or you have to start again? What a waste of money and time. There is no way a genin could defeat a jonin even someone at your level, Don't take this a game Naruto. Jonin are not pushovers and since your sensei is Kakashi of the Sharingan, you need to find a way to counter his Sharingan'' the white haired demon said as he exterminated one of the technique on the scroll in their living room when Naruto was watching the tv.

''I have to prepare at anything. He didn't look strong but if everything you said to me was indeed true. I have to be very careful if he used his Sharingan. My best chance are to use my speed and Sky Release at the right moment. He doesn't know that I can manipulate air itself'' Naruto added.

''But beware fish-cake. Hatake know a thousand of jutsus and is an ex-member of the Anbu. Perhaps, you should works together with your teammates. You may not win but all of you will have a better chance'' Boreas stated causing the whiskered blonde to flinch.

''As if Sastuki will work me or Shin. This girl had the biggest ego in the village and the biggest cold bitch in the entire country. This girl will work if she had something in return although, lately she start to be more opened with me'' Naruto simply said. Boreas's eyes widened as he had sly grin in his face.

''Well, well this is interesting. But beware foxy. If this is one thing that I learn after all this centuries is that women are more devious and patient than men. They need to create complicated plans to have what they want and they don't really care about how much that will take to succeed'' Naruto looked at the demon as he raise an eyebrow.

''You sound that you talk about experience Boreas. You meet a woman like that?'' the demon of calamity simply smile and ruffed the blonde's head.

''You have no idea fishcake. I could explain but you need to be in shape and I don't care what he said, no way you will fight with an empty stomach. Are you going to listen a man with almost thirty years of life experience over a Demon who lives and see many battles and pointless wars? And don't forget Naruto, beside every man hides a woman and don't fall with love in the first one who walks away'' Naruto stares at him as he grow an second head until he shrugged and saying goodnight leaving Boreas alone in the living room as he stares the window with a sad smile.

''Sastuki Uchiha huh? another mess with this clan again huh?'' he return his attention to the scroll trying chase off old memory that he tried to not remember.
