I had to sleep in a tree... The Hokage was surprised that I passed the test... He was completely confident that I was going to fail... And so he didn't arrange any accommodation for me... I was used to sleeping in random places so I didn't really mind but I was rather annoyed.

Sitting in the same classroom I had to wait in yesterday, I waited for the sensei to come in and assign us into our groups. As I was waiting I noticed a girl with pink hair and a rather large forehead walk up to Naruto. I decided to sit as far away as possible from Naruto. Better safe than sorry as they say. And there was noooo way I wanted him to find out that I was a Jinchuriki!

"Naruto! Move your ass! I want to sit on the other side of you!" Wow! I was not expecting something like that to come out of her mouth. She looks too innocent. Not to mention that Naruto obviously has a really large crush on her. Guess you can't judge a person's character by their outwards appearance.

"Sasuke-kun can I sit next to you?" she continued sweetly after she shoved Naruto aside. She spoke sweetly, like what she had just said a few seconds ago didn't happen. Bipolar much? I watched as she sat beside this Sasuke guy and acted as if she was the most innocent girl in the world while Naruto looked like he wanted to kill Sasuke.

I completely ignored them when Naruto started sizing up Sasuke. I only looked again just in time to see someone bump Naruto from behind and push him into Sasuke, making their lips touch. I had to cover my hand over my mouth to stop myself from laughing. Oh my god that was just priceless! The look on both of their faces!

While I was trying to contain my laughter Iruka Sensei came in.

"Starting today, all of you are real Shinobi… But you are still Genin… The hard journey that lies ahead had just started. Now you will soon get missions to help the village. So today we will create the three man teams. Each team will have a Joinin Sensei. You will follow your Sensei's instructions in order to successfully complete your missions. Oh and one other thing, since the arrival of Tash, there will be one team of four." I nodded. I'd screwed up their entire system.

"We tried to balance each team's strength." He continued and then he began reading out the members in each team. Finally, it was my turn.

"OK… Next is team seven. Hanuro Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and… Tash. Sorry we don't have a family name for you on here." Iruka Sensei said looking at me. I shrugged.

"I don't have a family name. It's just Tash." Iruka Sensei nodded. I completely blocked out Naruto's arguing with the Sensei about how he had to be in the same team as Sasuke. When the Senei finally said we could have a little break before we meet out Jounin Sensei, I just waited in the classroom. Not like I had anywhere else I could go anyway.

Eventually everyone began to migrate back to the classroom. One by one, each team left with their Jounin Sensei until it was only our team left.

"Why is our team seven sensei so damn late?!" Naruto yelled while sticking his head out the door. I had to agree with him. Our sensei was taking so long that even Iruka Sensei left. I sighed as I watched Naruto trap a chalk eraser in the door.

"Pfft… Like a Jounin would fall for such a stupid booby trap." Sasuke said, looking just as bored as he sounded. Just as he finished speaking the door slid open and the chalk eraser landed on a tall man with his forehead protector covering one of his eyes, effectively covering him in chalk. Naruto burst out laughing and I felt a small smile pull at my lips.

"Hmm… How can I say this? My first impression is… I don't like you guys." Our sensei said. I wasn't surprised. He then led us to the roof of a building.

"Well, let's begin with introducing yourselves." He then told us to tell him our names, likes, dislikes and out dreams for the future.

"Hey, hey, why don't you introduce yourself to us first?" Naruto yelled in his usual fashion.

"Oh… me?" The sensei mumbled. "Well, my name is Hatake Kakashi. I have no desire to tell you my likes and dislikes… Dreams for the future… Hmm. And I have lots of hobbies." He finished.

"So… all he told us is his name?" Sakura said. I nodded.

"Now it's your turn. Let's start on the right." Kakashi Sensei said, motioning to Naruto.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. What I like is cup ramen…" I shut him out as he droned on. Until he mentioned his dream that is. "And my dream is to surpass the Hokage and then have the people of this village acknowledge my existence." My head shot up. We were both Jinchuriki who were, until recently, living in completely different environments. But, despite the, we were both alone. Even when he was surrounded by people they treated him like nothing. This made me angry. Being a Jinchuriki was not a choice! How could the village treat him in such a way? In my angered state I let a little of my Chakra out but I quickly suppressed it. It did not go unnoticed. Kakashi Sensei threw me a curious look before he looked away again.

"Next." He called and Sasuke began explaining how he wanted to kill someone. I just ignored him and I even ignored Sakura as she babbled on about nothing. "And you?" Kakashi Sensei said looking at me.

"Eh, my name is Tash, I don't know if there's anything in particular I like or dislike and my dreams for the future?" I thought hard about that one. "I… I don't have one yet." I said cautiously and honestly. Kakashe Sensei looked at me curiously, again, and then decided to just ignore what I said. Naruto was still looking at me though. Sakura was still looking at Sasuke and Sasuke looked bored. Completely ignoring everyone.

"Tomorrow we'll start our duties as Shinobi." Kakashi Sensei finally continued. Naruto immediately started yelling.

"Yeah! What kind of duties!?" he yelled, a little too excited.

"First we are going to do something with just the four of us." He answered.

"What is it? What is it?" Naruto inquired.

"Survival training." He said simply.

"Why is our first duty training? We've had enough training at the academy." Sakura moaned.

"This isn't going to be normal training. This time I'm your opponent." Kakashi Sensei said then he started laughing to himself.

"What so funny Sensei?" Sakura asked, clearly getting annoyed.

"It's just that… When I tell you this you guys are totally going to freak out. Of the 28 graduates, only 10 will be chosen to become Genin. The rest will be sent back to the academy. This training is a very difficult exam with a failure rate of over 66%!" Nobody looked happy to hear that. Naruto looked like he was going to have a heart attack as he yelled about how unfair it was.

"Tomorrow you have to show your skills on the training ground. Bring all the Shinobi tools you have. Oh… And skip breakfast, you might throw up." He then handed up a slip of paper with the details on it and told us not to be late. Taking the piece of paper I slowly made my way to town to ask people where the best place to hunt for food was. I didn't have any money so hunting was my only option. Then after that I could get a nice long sleep in my tree before training.


Hello :)

Quite a while ago (since I haven't updated in quite a while, SORRY!) I received a comment saying this:

"You do realise that the '10 tailed beast' is actually a thing in the manga/anime? It is all the beasts combined. Hopefully this will be cleared up in later chapters."

I just want to say this. Did I ever say that Tash's tailed beast, Akumu, had 10 tails? He he he, I didn't. I said that she was the 10th tailed beast, not that she had 10 tails. I even specifically said that no one knows how many tails she has. But don't worry! All will be explained throughout the story!

Happy reading!
