A/N APOLOGIES FOR THE SPELLING ERRORS TOWARDS THE END OF THE SECOND CHAPTER, I GOT SLOPPY BECAUSE I JUST WANTED TO GET IT OUT THERE!

Silver blades flickered and shone in the moonlight, clashing again and again as their weilders leapt from rooftop to rooftop, shuriken flying between clashes, creating small fireworks in the night sky, the blades flew together for one final mighty clash and one shot down to the ground fast.

Naruto landed on his feet as Sasuke fell towards him, both made a rapid sequence of hand seals, and from Sasuke's mouth several orbs of fire shot forth one after the other, meanwhile Naruto swung his hands as though sqinging a baseball bat at Sasuke, only it appeared that nothing had happened, until suddenly Sasuke's flames parted and a moment later the split flames filled back in then shot outward in an enormous explosion that shattered all of the nearby windows. Both boys immediately ran to their home, shinobi speed enabling them to get there in mere moments. They sat in their living room contemplating what had just occured. "Your Wind Style seemingly made my Fire Style have a bigger boom." Said Sasuke, "You sure it wasnt just the power of the jutsu on its own, maybe you put more chakra into it than usual?" replied Naruto through his mouthful of instant ramen. Suddenly a deep voice behind them said, "Sasuke is right, Wind Style jutsu augment and enhance Fire Style jutsu, say you boys wouldnt happen to know what happened to the windows on the other sie of the village hmm?" Both spun quickly to see a white haired man in a flak jacket with grey hair and a mask on, his heaband nestled over his left eye. "HEY WHO ARE YOU?!" yelled Naruto, outraged at this ninja's sudden appearance in their home. The strange ninja simply gave them his classic eye smile, then dissapeared from their home. "Hey who was that guy?" said Naruto. Sasuke replied " I don't"know but he was jonin thats for sure." "I dont like him!" Naruto grumbled as he returned to his ramen, suspiciously eyeing the door for the rest of the night.

A few days later and it was time for the Genin Exams,both Naruto and Sasuke approached the academy nervously, both desperate to become full-fledged ninja. Both boys entered the exam room with their hopes high, the examiners had determined that due to the immense bond the brothers had, it would be best to keep them together at all times. Both boys passed with flying colours, demonstrating their use of the Shadow Clone, Transformation and Wind Style: Air Blade jutsu for Naruto and the Fire Style: Multi Fireball Jutsu for Sasuke, the 3rd Hokage was impressed with the boys efforts, praising them for their hard work, sending them to await their Genin squad leader with the other graduates.

"Maan this suuuuucks! What the heck is taking them so long!" Naruto complained to an already irritated Sasuke, "would you just shut the hell up already Naruto they'll get here when they get here!" Sasuke exclaimed. Naruto just sighed and laid his head on the table. Finally, after what felt like hours to Naruto but in reality was less than 10 minutes, Iruka arrived with the Genin squad list, he shouted "NARUTO WAKE UP!" Naruto shot bolt upright at this, then shouted back "FINALLY IRUKA SENSEI TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH!" Sasuke then punched Naruto in the back of the head, at which point the whole room burst out laughing, even Naruto as he rubbed the back of his sore head. I'll get you back for that one Sasuke Naruto thought to himself. Iruka then began reading out the names, most of which both boys blanked out. "Team 7 is Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha," Naruto jumped up with joy, while Sasuke smiled, in the back of the classroom both Ino and Sakura could be heard arguing over who would be the boys partner, while Hinata stared at Naruto using her Byakugan to stay unnoticed,"and Hinata Hyuga" who promptly fainted. Naruto rushed over to her and picked her up, then said to Sasuke, " hey bro I'm gonna take her to the hospital then go train, come find us when our squad leader arrives OK?" to which Sasuke replied "don't bother Naruto, she's obviously far too weak to be our team-mate" Naruto shook his head, and started walking, around halfway to the hospital Hinata woke up to find herself in Naruto's arms, she then fainted again with a whimper, Naruto upon hearing the sound, thought that taking her to the training ground was a better option. Those few adults the Hokage had appointed them with were giving Naruto a wide berth as usual, once he reached the training ground Naruto unceremoniously dropped Hinata on the floor, formed 4 shadow clones, and proceeded to have them battle each other in a 2v2 battle, resulting in the nearby area being scorched, slashed and generally destroyed and Naruto being exhausted. He then sat next to Hinata and looked at her, giggling to himself " you know you look kinda cute when you're out cold," even unconscious, Hinata blushed.

When Hinata came to, she awoke to find Naruto sprawled out, snoring loudly beside her, she eventually found her feet, then everything that had happened in the day so far dawned on her, she realised the same thing Sasuke had said, not knowing he had said it of course, and immediately began practicing her Gentle Fist style on the training mannikins, doing as she always did, attempting the technique her father had tried to teach her, the 8 Trigrams 64 Palms, the furthest she had achieved was a mere 16 palms, she stood before the mannikins, her arms extended, one arm in front, one behind, waist slightly bowed, palms up, Byakugan active, she then spun and moved forward, moving her hands so that 2 fingers were extended, seemingly poking the mannikins if not for the blasts of blue chakra being given off with each strike, 2 strikes she landed with ease, 2 more with relative ease as well, 4 strikes at double speed she wasnt struggling but it wasnt easy, 8 strikes, at 4 times the speed of the first 2, her hands now a blur and she was struggling, 16 strikes at 8 times speed and she was exhausted, collapsing to her knees, grinning, "32 palms!" she exclaimed "I did it! I reached the next stage!" from behind her she heard Naruto's voice "Nicely done Hinata! Sasuke was wrong to call you weak!" Hinata turned suddenly,"S-Sasuke s-s-said that" Suddenly from the wall behind her she heard Sasuke's voice "yeah I did, and yeah I was wrong to call you weak, but you're still nowhere near strong enough to be our team-mate." Hinata spun once again to see Sasuke crouched on the compund wall. Naruto grinned at his brother, "so who's the squad leader Sasuke?" Sasuke sighed "Naruto, you're not going to like this..." Suddenly a gloved hand appeared on Naruto's shoulder. "Hello Naruto I'm the squad leader for team 7"
