AN:Greetings my wonderful readers! I hope you are all well, and if not, then I wish you a speedy recovery. I can't reveal much of the plot, because that would reveal the story ahead of time. But if you have any questions concerning something that has already happened in the story, write it in a review and I'll answer it in the next chapter. Now, on with the next chapter! Tally ho! ….. OK, that's enough TFS Hellsing abridged ultimate on YouTube.

Naruto sat in the classroom for team assignments with an odd expression on his face. He was fidgeting from excitement, but he was also ridiculously bored. He had arrived a full hour early, and there was nothing to do. Especially since he promised the Hokage he would try to tone back on the pranks. The old man had caught the word try, but didn't call the young teenager out on it. He had also discussed the small copy scroll Naruto had made, allowing the blonde to keep it after skimming over it.

The blonde sighed, and his head thunked down onto the desk just as the door slid open, allowing in two more teenagers and causing the blonde's head to perk up. One was slightly more portly due to his clans techniques that required energy stored up from food. The other was rather scrawny, with his hair pulled into a spiky inverted ponytail that looked reminiscent of a pineapple.

"Choujji, Shikamaru!" Naruto exclaimed. "Thank Kami! I was getting so bored!"

"Hey Naruto," Chouji said in between bites from his bag of potato chips. "I thought you failed, so why are you here?"

The blonde grinned widely. "I passed a makeup exam. I'm a genin now, same as you."

"Except that you're the class dobe," Shikamaru couldn't resist giving a little barb.

"You're only just above me!" Naruto shouted. "I know you could do way better! Or," his eyes took on a mischievous glint, "do I have to tell your mother you almost failed on purpose? Hehehe..."

"Troublesome blonde," the pineapple haired boy muttered, taking his seat and putting his head down on the desk before passing out.

Naruto and Chouji looked at each other before shrugging and settling down to play a game of Tic Tac Toe.

"Everyone settle down," Iruka said. After a moment, it became clear that no one was listening to him. He flashed through a couple of hand signs and suddenly all of the students were tied up in ropes. And suspended from the ceiling upside down. "That's better. Now that I have your attention, I will announce the team assignments. Starting with Team Seven, the first available team this year."

All of the students perked up a bit eager to learn who their partners would be.

"Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke," Iruka called. "Your sensei will jounin Hatake Kakashi."

Naruto nodded thoughtfully to himself. It could have been worse. His partners could have been an emo and a fangirl.

"Team Eight will be Inuzuka Kiba, Hyuuga Hinata, and Aburame Shino," the brown haired chunin continued. "Your instructor will be Mitarashi Anko."

Most of the students in the class blanched. Just about everyone knew about Anko, and her quirky tendencies that usually put someone in the hospital.

"Team Nine is still in circulation from last year, so the next team will be Team Ten, consisting of Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Chouji. Your sensei will be Nara Yoshino."

Shikamaru's head shot up from his desk, skin pale and drawn with eyes wide from fear and abstract horror. "No. Please no. Anyone but her, please," he muttered to himself. Since he was sitting in the back, no one noticed his expression.

Iruka continued on with the last few genin teams that no one could be bothered to remember. "With that, your jounin instructors will be here after lunch to pick you all up, leaving you with three hours to get acquainted with your team members. Dismissed!"

"Yo Sasuke, Sakura!" Naruto greeted with a large smile. The two turned to see their third teammate catching up to them on their way to the roof.

"What's up Naruto?" The pink haired girl responded.

"Hn," was the intelligible retort from the raven haired Uchiha.

"That's not nice Sasuke," Sakura chided. "Do I have to have a talk with your caretaker about proper etiquette again?"

"My apologies," Sasuke begrudgingly gave in. "Hello dobe."

"At least you're part way civil," the blonde said. "There's hope for you yet!" Sakura giggled while Sasuke's eye twitched. "Anyway, we didn't spend a whole lot of time hanging out in the academy, so let's get to know each other a bit more."

"Alright, I'll start things off," the pink haired kunoichi smiled. "I'm Haruno Sakura, I come from a shinobi family. I like spending time with my friends and training. I have really good chakra control, so I'm proficient in genjutsu and medical jutsu. I dislike bullies and those who abandon their friends. My dream for the future is to be a medical ninja greater than Tsunade-sama of the Densetsu no Sannin."

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto picked up where Sakura left off. "I like ramen, training, and meeting new people. My dislikes are bullies, the three minutes it takes for ramen to finish cooking, and traitors to the village. My dream for the future is to be Hokage, and to make ramen the official food of Konoha! Dattebayo!"

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke," the black haired boy said. "I like tomatoes, and what few people don't annoy me all the time. I mean seriously, there are fangirls everywhere!" His teammates nodded, patting his shoulders consolingly. To accent his point, a brunette girl with a plain face flew out of nowhere at the Uchiha, only to be deflected by his teammates. To their horror, she fell off the roof.

"Did we kill her?" Naruto asked frantically.

"Oh Kami!" Sakura shook head nervously.

"Were it so easy," Sasuke said. "She'll be fine, and back to stalking me tomorrow. Anyway, continuing on. My dislikes are my fangirls, and my older brother who killed my clan. My dream for the future is to rebuild my clan and to take revenge on Itachi."

"We're here to help you," Naruto said with a big grin, causing Sakura to smile and nod in affirmative.

Sasuke blinked. "Thank you... Naruto, Sakura."

Naruto looked around suspiciously for a moment. "Lunch isn't over for another two hours. I'm going to need your help for something."

The blondes teammates looked at him curiously before he started explaining.

To his credit, Naruto said he would try to curb his pranking habits. Sadly, he only said try. So when Kakashi showed up, strangely on time for once, he was in for the worst nightmare he had ever experienced.

Standing in the classroom was not his genin team, but rather three women. The first was Yuhi Kurenai, the newly promoted jounin. The second one was one his former ANBU teammates, Uzuki Yuugao. The last was a veterinarian that he frequently took his Inu summons to see, Inuzuka Hana, the older sister to Inuzuka Kiba.

It was a little known fact to certain circles that Kakashi liked to get around. And when he got to going, very few women could resist him, especially when he removed his mask. But he always took precautions. That was why the group in front of him scared him senseless. He had not seen any of them for almost a year, and now here they all were in front of him, bellies showing various, but visible stages of pregnancy.

The jounin with gravity defying silver hair screamed at the top of his lungs as his mind finally broke, and took off with terrifying speed. The trio in the room could hear him crashing and tripping into things as he fled for dear life.

"I think we broke our sensei," Sakura said as she dropped her illusion of Kurenai.

"Does this mean we can get promoted directly to jounin?" Naruto asked hopefully, dropping the Inuzuka henge.

"I don't think it works like that, dobe," Sasuke said, releasing his illusion.

"Aw man," Naruto snapped. "That really sucks."
