Hakureisaiga- For those of you who thought I gave up, you thought wrong. Though I said that I was going to update yesterday, I got a little sick, but I just finished the chapter.

Naruto- Though Hakurei-san wants to own the Legend of Dragoon game, and Naruto, he can't because of lawyers being on his ass like white on rice

Chapter 3- My Team Sucks!

Next day, Iruka walked in with a cast on his arm and a gauze patch on his cheek, "Ok, settle down, kids." The students ignored him and continued talking to one another. "Damn!" he thought, "And I can't use my big head jutsu."

Naruto noticed the chunin's predicament and sent out waves of killing intent in order to make the students except Shikamaru, Choji, Hinata, and Shino, "Sit down….and shut up. Sakura, Ino, you have three seconds to find a seat….Ichi."

The girls scrambled to find a seat before Naruto got to Ni. "The floor is yours, Iruka-sensei." Iruka said, "Thank you, Naruto, now about your teams…" Sakura decided to interrupt him, "First off, what happened to you, Iruka-sensei and where is Mizuki-sensei?" Iruka grimaced, "Mizuki is…indisposed of for turning rouge. Luckily, me and a friend of mine happen to catch him along with the item that he stole."

Sakura asked, "Who was this friend of yours? I bet it was Sasuke-kun, he is the only one capable of such a feat."

The fan girls nodded in agreement with Sakura's statement, but Iruka shook his head, "If that would have happen, Sasuke wouldn't be here today. The one who helped me was the number one, unpredictable ninja Naruto Uzumaki."

Everyone gaped and turned to Naruto to see that he was not listening to Iruka's revelation, he had his feet propped up on the desk while chatting with Hinata.

Soon the Jinchuuriki noticed the stares given from his classmates, "What…is there something on my face?" Naruto asked curiously.

"You….you defeated Mizuki-sensei?" a random boy asked in disbelief. "Ain't it obvious, I beat him yesterday in class, so what made you think that I couldn't beat him. Plus I did beat Uchiha in the spar before him."

A Sasuke fan girl spoke up, "That is impossible."

Naruto said, "Nothing is impossible when it comes to ninja, it's no big deal since most of you can't believe that the 'dobe' defeated an experienced Chunin schoolteacher. Not to be rude, Iruka-sensei, but can you tell us our teams please? Hinata-chan, we will discuss our conservation, later, okay?"

Hinata blushed and nodded, getting some mixed glares from his growing fan club.

"Grrrr….Hinata is mine, you bastard. I will get her and make her my bitch whether you like it or not.?"Kiba thought.

"I can't believe it….the dobe goes away to train for six years and suddenly he returns with more power than me, the Uchiha. I should have that power, I need it more than he does."Sasuke thought with a scowl.

Sakura thought dreamily, "Oh, Sasuke-kun, I will get you in my arms one of these days."

Iruka said, "Team 1 thru 6 are in circulation, Team 7 will consist of Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha…" Naruto muttered, "Oh, fuck me." "And Sakura Haruno." Naruto thought, "Oh, fuck me sideways. I'm stuck with a fan girl with no skills and an emo brooder who probably likes to suck dick. Kami, why do you hate so?"

Iruka continued, "Team 8 will consist of Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame and Kiba Inuzuka." Hinata thought in despair, "No…I want to be with Naruto-kun. Shino is okay, but Kiba is gonna to make my life miserable."She looked in the corner of her eye to see that Kiba was looking at her with lust evident in his eyes.

"Team 9 is still in circulation, Team 10 consists of Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi." Ino ranted about not being with Sasuke openly while she was secretly disappointed on not being on Naruto's and paired with lazy boy and food boy. "Your sensei will arrive shortly."

Naruto, in turn, resumed his conservation with Hinata, "So Hinata, I bet you have gotten stronger since the last time I saw you." Hinata blushed at the blonde's serious gaze at her. "Y…Yeah, N-Naruto-kun, I-I have g-gotten a little b-bit stronger." She said quietly.

Naruto smiled at her, causing Kiba to frown and growl a bit. The Jinchuuriki sensed the weak killing intent and spoke to Kiba without facing him, "Why so serious, Kiba?" Kiba said, "Hinata is not yours, teme." Naruto said, "I agree, Hinata is not mine nor she is yours, Hinata must make that decision on her own terms. You, me or anyone else can't decide her future."

The Inuzuka bristled in anger, but gave him a toothy grin, "Doesn't matter now anyway, Hinata is on my team and she will be mine." Naruto ignored him and began to talk to Hinata again, making Kiba to jump at his unprotected back. Very big mistake, Kiba, see if you attack somebody's crush like Sasuke for example, you are bound to get your ass pummeled.

In Hinata's case, you get pummeled with some Juken mixed in. Hinata's eyes widened as Kiba moved towards Naruto, then she narrowed her eyes and moved instantly to Juken Kiba in the balls, "Next time, you attack Naruto-kun like that, you will lose the ability to have kids, capiche?" She said in a cold tone.

Kiba nodded slowly, holding his precious. "Good, now please remove yourself." She said as she turned to her seat. Kiba moved slowly to her seat, wincing slightly at each step from the pain. Hinata looked at everyone especially the Uchiha, who has a look of admiration and lust in his eyes. "What are you looking at?" Hinata said with a tick on her forehead.

Everyone's heads snapped back to the front not meeting the gaze of the seemingly shy Hyuga. Letting out a breath, she turned to a smirking Naruto, "Wow, so the shy and stuttering was all an act, right?" he said.

The Hyuga said, "Yes, but not as good as your dead last act." Naruto's eyes widened and in turn, Hinata chose to smirk at this expression. "Touché, Hinata-chan, touché." The Jinchuuriki said with a smile, "Anyway, when we are done with our team meetings, how about we go to Ichiraku Ramen to eat?"

Hinata giggled, "My, Naruto Uzumaki, are you asking me to go on a date with you?"

Naruto flashed her his trademark foxy grin, "Anything you want to call it, hime."

He then took her hand and gingerly kissed it. "I accept your invitation, Naruto-kun." The Hyuga princess said blushing up a storm. "Damn it, I still blush around him." She thought to herself. Naruto said, "Thanks for giving me a chance, Hinata-chan." Hinata answered back, "No problem, Naruto-kun."

Then she whispered lowly, "I would have done it otherwise since you were the one that saved me that day." "Team 8, come with me." A feminine voice called out. The class turned to see a woman with red eyes and beautiful black hair along with a dark-skinned man with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Kurenai-nee-chan is my sense, this is good fortune for me then, she can keep Kiba in check." The Hyuga thought happily.

Kiba thought, "Damn, I got a chick for a sensei."

"Well then, bye, Naruto-kun." Hinata said as she strode forward to her sensei. Naruto waved at her, "Bye, Hinata-chan, I will see you at Ichiraku Ramen." As soon as Team 8 and 10 left, Naruto quickly made a genjutsu and worked on setting traps for their unfortunate tardy sensei.

Two hours later, Sakura screamed, "Dammit, where the hell is our sensei at?" Naruto and Sasuke winced at the screech from our pink-haired harpy. "Oi, Sasuke, are your eyes ringing or is it just me?" Naruto asked while rubbing his ears. "It ain't you, dobe, my ears are ringing too." The Uchiha muttered.

It appears that the only thing that the two could agree on was that Sakura needed to shut up. Suddenly the door opened to reveal a tall, silver-haired man with his hitai-ate slanted over his left eye. "Yo, I'm…." the man started to say, but until Naruto released his illusion and tugged at a wire.

The wire released kunai and the jonin moved skillfully through the barrage. Then Naruto pulled another wire activating the paint balloons making the jonin a neon-colored portrait.

"Yep, still got it."Naruto thought to himself.

Kyuubi thought, "Nice one, Naruto-kun." The jonin said, "My first impression…is that I hate you all." Naruto retorted, "And my first impression is that you are too caught up in the past."

The man's lone eye widened, but then he regained his composure, "Meet me on the roof in five." He said as he leaf shunshined. Naruto opened the window and briefly dropped down.

Sasuke and Sakura ran to the window only to be blasted by a gust of wind as a silhouette of a dragon and man hybrid flew into the sun.

"Was that…Naruto?" they both thought as they rushed up the stairs.

Roof- Naruto switched back to his human form on the roof to see ten man sitting on the balcony reading a certain orange book. "Pervert alert! I'll kill him for reading those damn smut books they call a hit."

Kyuubi screamed. "Kyu-chan, calm down, you are giving me a headache with your incessant screaming and I already have to deal with one on my own team." Naruto yelled at the vixen.

Kyuubi receded into the back of his mind muttering about perverts, books, and how they should be destroyed. "Well, you're here early." Naruto said in a sarcastic tone.

"Well, I figured that another trap like the previous would be waiting for me if I was late." The man said, "How have you been, Naruto?"

Naruto shrugged, "I have been fine, Kakashi-san. It's been a while since we last met, where does the time go?" Kakashi eye-smiled at the boy, "Apparently fast, we will continue this late, they are coming."

Naruto nodded. Sasuke and Sakura came up the stairs and the Uchiha asked, panting, "What the hell was that power, dobe?"

Naruto said, "Hmm….did you say something?"

Kakashi stifled a laugh as the blond used his phrase for dealing with a certain green spandex wearing man. "That winged hybrid thing, whatever it is, give it to me." Sasuke said angrily while Sakura nodded in agreement.

Naruto said, "Sorry, that transformation is only unique to me and people who are chosen…besides knowing you, you were going to use it on Itachi, your older brother." Suddenly Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he grabbed Naruto's collar, "You know about Itachi?"

Naruto shrugged, "Yeah, he is very good at genjutsu and kenjutsu. He taught me some moves as well some jutsu while we were traveling along with my other sensei."

Sasuke's grip tightened, "Tell me where he is!" Naruto said, "Unfortunately, I don't know that information since he left without notice. Even if I knew, I would not tell you because I highly doubt that a mere fresh Genin can defeat a former ANBU captain with a developed Sharingan."

Sasuke said, "That is why you need to give me that power you have…so I can kill Itachi!"

Naruto said, "You have not been listened to me, have you? That transformation is a part of me thus I can't give you it at all. Even if I could, Itachi would toy with your life like a living puppet, making you realize that anytime he could just come and kill you in an instant."

Sasuke bristled in anger as Naruto continued, "You want power, then find something to protect and you will have that power to defeat Itachi, that is the true meaning of power." Sasuke dropped Naruto and said, "Everyone that I wanted to protect is gone, that is why hatred is the only way to my strength."

Kakashi said, "Well, then now that is settled, tell me about your likes, dislikes, hobbies, that sort of stuff."

Sakura said, "How about you start us off, sensei?"

Kakashi smiled, "Okay, my name is Kakashi Hatake, my likes are classified, my dislikes are nothing you could understand, my hobbies are a need to know basis and my dream is none of your concern."

Sakura and Sasuke sweat dropped, "All we got is his name." they thought.

"Go, pinky!" Kakashi said, pointing at Sakura, "My name is Sakura Haruno, my likes are (squeal), my hobbies are (insert squeal and glance at Sasuke), my dream is (loud squeal), my dislikes are Naruto-baka and Ino-pig."

Kakashi sighed in his mind, "A true fan girl, damn I might have to break Anko in." He nodded to Sasuke, who was glaring at Naruto. "Name's Sasuke Uchiha, my likes are soba, tea and training, my dislikes are a lot and my dream is to kill Itachi." Kakashi thought, "Still that damn avenger."

Naruto said, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, my likes are my father, my mother, my five senseis, ramen, training, Hinata-chan and a few people in this village, my dislikes are ignorance, titles, rapists, murderers, and I strongly despise fan girls who wants to be kunoichi because of a stupid crush." His eyes flickered toward a fuming Sakura, "My dream is to protect the ones in need and those I care and maybe become Hokage if I have to."

Kakashi nodded in recognition, "Alright, now that we are acquainted with one another, you are dismissed for today. Get some rest and don't eat breakfast or you will throw up tomorrow because you three will be taking the true genin test, which has a 66.6% failure rate. Ja ne!"

The cyclopetic ninja made a hand sign and left in a Leaf style shunshin. "Peace!" Naruto said as he disappeared into the wind, leaving Sasuke to brood and Sakura to ask for a date…again.

Ichiraku Ramen- "Hey, Hinata, you're here early." Naruto said as he popped up on the seat beside her. Hinata jumped and aimed a strike at Naruto's head, who dodged by leaning to the side.

"Naruto-kun, don't do that, you scared me to death." Naruto rubbed his head, "Ah gomen nasai, Hinata-chan, I didn't mean to scare you." Hinata inwardly sighed at the innocent look that she solely desired to kiss, "It's okay, just try not to do it again." She said, scolding lightly.

"Hai, I promise." Naruto said as he shifted into his seat, "Ayame-nee-chan, I would like a beef ramen and teriyaki ramen with vegetables please. Hinata-chan, what do you want?"

Hinata said, "I would like a miso ramen."

Ayame nodded and she and her set to work, happy that their number one customer had a friend. "So how was your meeting with your sensei." Hinata sighed, "Well…"

Flashback- Team 8 came to their designated training area with Shino looking indifferent, Hinata looking agitated and Kiba looking like he was in heat. Kurenai sat down on a log and said, "My name is Kurenai Yuhi, your sensei." She smiled at them. Hinata smiled back at her, Shino's face was like stone, but his body language told her that he was glad to meet her and Kiba was stunned, eying at her body, which she inwardly despised and planned to have his sister and her friend, Hana to knock that out of him. "We will start off with our introductions such as likes, dislikes, hobbies, etc. " she continued, "My likes are genjutsu, Yugao-chan, Anko-chan, and Hana-chan (Kiba sweated inwardly at this), and sunsets. My dislikes are perverts, arrogance, rapists and people who think kunoichi are weak though some are proving that. My dream is to live my life and maybe settle down. Next!" Kiba shouted, "I'm Kiba Inuzuka, my likes are dogs, Akamaru, Hinata, training. My dislikes are Hana, the vet, people who hurt dogs and Naruto (Hinata's eye twitch a bit). My dream is to be strong, marry Hinata and become head of the Inuzuka clan." Kurenai took a mental note at both of Kiba and Hinata's reactions at Naruto. "Next!" the red-eyed woman said. "I'm Shino Aburame, my likes are bugs, Hinata-san, Shikamaru-san and Choji-san, my dislikes are pesticides, lecherous men, and perverts, my hobbies are collecting bugs, my dream is to just become the leader of the Aburame clan. "Typical of the Aburame clan, but at least this one socializes." Kurenai thought to herself as she nodded to Hinata. "My name's Hinata Hyuga, my likes are Naruto(Kiba growls lowly), cinnamon buns, training, medicine and falcons, my dislikes are rapists, arrogance, the council's attitude, the Caged Bird Seal, and Kiba. My dream is to eliminate the Caged Bird Seal, be the greatest heir to the Hyuga clan and be Naruto's girlfriend." Kurenai looked at her adopted sister, "Balancing her career and social life. I have known about all these things, but she has never said them out loud before. Was it all a façade? A mask?" Kurenai set aside the thought and replied, "Okay, now we know each other a little bit, we will meet tomorrow at eight in the morning…for your real genin exam." Hinata and Shino looked impassive while Kiba shouted out, "I thought we already took the test at the Academy." Kurenai replied curtly, "That test was a preliminary, you didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you? Again, 8 am tomorrow at this spot, alright?" Kurenai made a hand sign and shunshined away with a puff of smoke. Hinata immediately stood up and moved away. Kiba tried to follow her, only for her to shunshin in the Leaf style. Flashback Ends

"Man, I wish I could have seen that. Imagine the look on dog-boy's face." Naruto laughed. Hinata giggled, "True! But we need to figure out why they both told us about the test and the fact that we can't eat."

Naruto's face changed from cheerful to serious thinking, "Well, I deduced it to a skills test or written test, but the fact of no eating makes it a skills test." Hinata pointed out, "But we can't take on a jonin by ourselves alone unless…." Naruto finished, "Unless we work together, that's it! The test is about teamwork."

Hinata sighed, "Teamwork, eh? Well, Shino's no problem at all since we are friends, but Kiba is going to be a pain in the ass since he will bribe me to be his girlfriend."

Naruto retorted, "Try having a pompous Uchiha bastard and a fan girl with no talent to save her life." Hinata waved the situation away, "We can worry about those problems later, Naruto-kun. We need to catch up." she said softly.

The Jinchuuriki nodded and the two began to exchange stories and events from the past six years.

Hyuga Manor- "That was nice, Naruto-kun, I enjoyed that very much." Hinata said. Naruto smiled at her, "I am glad you did, Hinata-chan. When we have free time, we should…."

Suddenly a voice boomed out, "Hinata!"

The two genin turned to find no other than the Hyuga council. "Councilman Hanzo." Hinata spat out with venom laced in her voice.

Hanzo sneered, "You will address in the proper tone, Hinata and furthermore what are you doing with this…thing here?" Naruto winced at the remark while Hinata gritted her teeth, "Since when does the council become concerned about who I associated with."

Hanzo said, "You dare to defy the Council, you stupid excuse of a….." The councilmember started to say until he felt a spike of killing intent aimed at him.

He shifted his eyes to see Naruto's cold blue eyes upon him. "Look, asshole, I will take your insults, but insulting Hinata-chan directly in front of me is something I or Hiashi-sama will not tolerate."

Hanzo began to sweat as Naruto's killing intent increased as the Jinchuuriki gritted out every word. "So, Hanzo, you will treat Hinata-chan as if she was Kami herself because the Hinata you knew is dead and gone."

Hanzo and the other council members shrank back as they each saw their end at the claws of a fox and a green-scaled dragon.

"H-Hai." The man said shakily.

"Good, now have a nice day." Naruto said, smiling. He turned to Hinata, "See you tomorrow, Hinata-chan." The Hyuga nodded and walked inside the gates along with the mentally scarred Hyuga Council.

"It seems that some of the council is shaken by Naruto. Good, but just in case I will need to plan if they try something." Hinata thought as she began to strategize alternative path to deal with this matter.

Next day-Training Area 7- "What the hell, where is that sensei of ours, damn it?" Sakura shouted. Naruto's eyebrow twitched, "Sakura, for the last time, please…shut up." He said, mustering up the last shred of patience he had in him.

Sakura turned and threw her fist at him, but Naruto moved slightly, making the girl fall into the lake behind him. Sakura became irate and shouted, "Look at what you did, do you know how long it takes to get my hair done like this."

Naruto responded, "About 40 strokes to be exact and about 16 minutes, it takes you, Sakura." Sakura was about to retort until Kakashi popped up, "Yo, sorry about that, an old lady was crossing the street, so I had to help her cross…"

"YOU'RE LATE! THAT IS THE MOST IDIOTIC LIE I HAVE EVER HEARD OF!" Sakura shouted. Both of the genin sighed at her antics while Kakashi sweat dropped, "Okkkaaayyy! Let's begin." He set an alarm clock and pulled out two bells, "You have two hours to get these bells from me, you can use any ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu…if you don't get a bell, you get tied to one of those stumps while I eat a bento in front of you."

Naruto smirked while Sasuke and Sakura's stomach growled out in protest. Sakura said, "But, sensei, won't you get hurt? After all, Sasuke-kun is on the team."

Naruto muttered, "Oh, yes, Sakura…way to inflate the Uchiha's ego to enormous proportions." Sakura fixed a glare at him, "You are just jealous!" The Jade Dragoon wielder replied sarcastically, "Right."

Kakashi sighed, "Enough! Let's get things started! Shinobi Fight all set! Ready! Go!" The three genin moved…well, Naruto just moved backwards to sit on the stump. Kakashi said, "You are either very brave or very stupid."

Naruto replied, "I would go with the first option, Inu-san." Kakashi's eye widened at his old ANBU codename, "So you know." Naruto said, "Your hair is still the same from back then, also you know that this test is not going to work."

Kakashi said, "What are you talking about?"

Naruto replied, "The fact that a team must work as one to overcome a stronger adversary, but the Uchiha has that high and mighty ego of his and Haruno follows him around like his little bitch. Neither one will listen to reason if I asked since I demonstrated our ties already."

Kakashi said, "You have changed a lot, Naruto….but I do have to evaluate your skills." Naruto raised his eyebrow, "Really? I thought you would just read your book instead of that."

Kakashi said, "Yeah, but that is for making them two mad and reckless when they are fighting me…you, I have no idea what you are capable of." Naruto sighed as he jumped down with his retractable staff out.

"Bojutsu, eh?" Kakashi thought to himself.

Naruto, without a word, charged at the silver-haired jonin with blinding speed. Kakashi pulled out two kunai and parried his opponent. Naruto ducked as Kakashi swung his other armed hand to his head, then twisted to the side, swinging the staff over his face slightly bending backwards.

Kakashi moved narrowly from the move as Naruto slammed the staff into the ground, propelling him toward Kakashi. The jonin brought up his arms in a cross position, catching the staff and locking it between his weapons. "Nice maneuver, sensei, but this is not an ordinary staff." Naruto twisted the pole to have a sharp four inch stake appeared inches from Kakashi's face.

"Wow, you are serious and very good using this staff." The silver-haired man said to Naruto, "I am surprised…" Suddenly kunai and shuriken came to Kakashi's side. Naruto said, "I was wondering when you would show…Sasuke." Sasuke said arrogantly, "Move, dobe, you obviously can't defeat him."

Naruto said, "You are right, Sasuke…unless we work tog…." Sasuke interrupted, "I can do this myself…I don't need you." Then the Uchiha moved away to find Kakashi. Naruto sighed, "I tried….but at least I got a bell. He never noticed that one of the bells were nicked in the fight and with Sasuke's interruption, it fell. Good thing I threw a genjutsu before I had my staff caught. Oh, well, I will just find Sakura."

Soon Sakura came out, looking for Sasuke. "Hey, Sakura, I need your…." Sakura snapped at him, "Shut it, baka! Can't you see that I am trying to find my Sasuke-kun, I don't have time for you." Then she ran off to find her beloved Uchiha. Naruto sighed and laid on his back, "My team sucks ass."

Sasuke- The Uchiha appeared before Kakashi, "It appears that I will have to pick up the slack." Kakashi looked at him and reached into his pouch to pull out…wait for it, wait for it….everyone's favorite perverted book, Icha Icha Paradise.

Sasuke growled out, "Don't mock me!"

He crouched down, flinging kunai and shuriken at Kakashi. The jonin dodged to the side, but one of Sasuke's weapons happened to cut a line, making more kunai propelled toward Kakashi's current position at the tree. The Jonin said, "Nice trap, but not enough." He pushed himself off the tree, but the Uchiha came behind him with a flying kick. Kakashi blocked it and grabbed Sasuke's ankle, then Sasuke aimed a punch, but Kakashi caught it in the palm of his hand.

Next, Sasuke twisted his body to use his right leg to kick at him, but Kakashi moved his elbow to block the assault. Sasuke smirked as he reached for the bells. "Damn!" Kakashi thought as he moved his hip.

The two sprung away from each other, skidding across the ground. The jonin thought, "Hmm…he is good, he made me put my book away to fight him." Then he spoke out loud, "You are better than I anticipated though." Sasuke scowled as he flipped through hand signs, ending with tiger, "Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!"

Kakashi thought, "What the hell? No genin shouldn't have that much chakra to perform that jutsu?" The fireball bursted from Sasuke's mouth, engulfing Kakashi, then after a few minutes, Sasuke dispersed the connection to see that Kakashi's remains were not there. "Where is he?" he said to himself.

Kakashi's voice answered for him, "Below you." Sasuke looked down to see Kakashi's hand grabbed his leg. "Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu!" Sasuke screamed in surprise as he was dragged into the ground, leaving his head above ground.

"Release me, damn it! I'm an Uchiha." Kakashi said, "How about no….I will leave you here to cool off while I go after Sakura."

Sakura- "Where is Sasuke-kun? Kakashi-sensei couldn't have…no, stop thinking like that." Sakura stopped in the bushes seeing Kakashi, "Oh, crap, he almost saw me." Then she heard Kakashi's voice, "Sakura, behind you." She turned to see Kakashi doing the ram sign and leaves began to blow past her face.

After a few minutes, Sakura snapped out of her stupor and looked around, "Huh? Where did sensei go?" Then she heard Sasuke call her name and she turned with a smile on her face to the direction of her voice. She saw a battered, bleeding Sasuke with kunai and shuriken stuck into his body and one of his legs twisted in an odd way.

So Sakura did the only logical thing…she screamed and fainted with foam coming from her mouth. Kakashi said to himself, "I think I might have overdid it a bit." The bell rang, indicating that time was up. "Well, time to give them the results." Kakashi said to himself.

Minutes later, Sakura and Sasuke were tied to stumps while Naruto leaned against the reminding one. "You guys…well, except Naruto look hungry and by the way, Naruto, though I think you need to go to the Academy for more knowledge…" Sasuke and Sakura smirked at this, but Kakashi continued, "But you don't need to…however, you two should quit as shinobi."

Sasuke frowned and Sakura protested, "What? Why do me and Sasuke-kun have to quit, that baka didn't do anything."

Kakashi rounded on her, "That baka actually attempted….excuse me, got one of the bells from me and got the answer to the test while you didn't even do anything, Sakura."

Sasuke asked, "And the answer was?"

Kakashi said, "Teamwork…if the three of you had came at me at one, you could have gotten both bells from me." Sakura said, "But…he didn't ask for help at all."

Naruto pulled out a tape recorder, "Hey, Sakura, I need your…." "Shut it, baka! Can't you see that I am trying to find my Sasuke-kun. I don't have time for you!" Sakura flushed in embarrassment and Sasuke said, "You could have asked me, dobe."

Naruto pulled out another, "Move, dobe, you obviously can't defeat him." "You're right, Sasuke...unless we can work tog…" "I can do this myself, I don't need you."

Kakashi said, "Sakura, you were so focused on finding Sasuke that you completely ignored Naruto's request for help and Sasuke here just assumed that the others are dead weight and tried to do everything himself. Individual play could cause situations like for example." Kakashi came up with a kunai and held it to Sasuke's neck, "Naruto…kill Sakura or Sasuke dies."

Sakura looked at Naruto fearfully, but he made no move against him…err, excuse me, her. "That situation happens if you are not careful. You are forced to make tough decisions and suffer the consequences."

Kakashi said, "Now I am going to give you one last chance. Naruto, you can eat, but don't feed Sasuke or Sakura, got it?" Naruto nodded, inwardly smirking at Kakashi's plan. Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke and the Jinchuuriki immediately untied them and gave them food, "But sensei said…" Sakura began to say.

"He was trying to hinder us like this morning. Since you two listened to him, you won't be in shape to fight if you're weakened plus I ate this morning." Naruto said, giving them the bento boxes.

Suddenly an explosion occurred in front of them and Kakashi's head popped out, "You…pass! So far, you two were following orders like little robots, but you must look underneath the underneath. A ninja who break the rules may be trash, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash and…if I ever catch you doing that, I will personally have you drop from this program."

All three of them nodded and then the jonin said, "Good, you will start your first mission tomorrow, you are all dismissed for the remainder of the day." Naruto shunshined in a tornado of wind, Sasuke went to find Naruto to demand him about the secrets of his power and Sakura as usual followed her crush to desperately fulfill her lifelong dream….to suck Sasuke's microscopic dick.

Naruto appeared beside Hinata, who had just finished their test with Kurenai and were about to leave. "Hi, Hinata-chan, Shino-san, turns out that we were right, huh?" Hinata nodded, "Seems we have."

Naruto bowed, "And you must be Hinata's sensei, nice to meet you, I'm Naruto Uzumaki." Kurenai said, "I'm Kurenai Yuhi, Team 8's sensei and Hinata's adoptive sister."

Naruto turned to Kiba, "Kiba." He said.

The Inuzuka snarled, "What, Uzumaki." Hinata warned dangerously, "Kiba, don't start…or I'll finish what I started yesterday." Kiba growled, "Whatever, I'm going home." But in his mind, he thought to himself, "Just you wait, I will defeat you, Uzumaki and take Hinata for myself."

Akamaru whimpered at the look of Kiba's lecherous grin and inwardly thought that his master was going to get his ass kicked sooner or later. "So…you're Naruto, right? Take care of Hinata-chan for me, okay?"

Hinata said, "Nai-nee-chan!" Kurenai said, "What? I am fulfilling the role." Shino said, "Which involves embarrassing or threatening the boy." Naruto said, "Rest assured, she will be taken care of."

He turned to Hinata, "Shall I walk you home, Hinata-chan?" Hinata nodded as the reminder of Team 8 and Naruto parted ways.

Hakureisaiga- And that is that, next chapter: Joint Mission, Journey to Wave!
