Sasuke POV:
Sasuke rushed as fast as he could, his speed almost rivaling the shunshin no jutsu, his fear for his friend overwhelming him. As he found an ANBU squad he quickly recounted the events, especially the part where Iruka-sensei had been hit by a giant shuriken protecting Naruto from the psychotic teacher's aid, Mizuki.
When he and the ANBU got to the site, they saw that both Naruto and Iruka-sensei had been bleeding drastically from injuries to their backs, with Mizuki tied to a nearby tree. It appeared that they had dealt with the idiotic chuunin, though sustaining a few injuries.
Naruto was passed out, but he had a hitai ate on his forehead. The only coherent sentence that passed Sasuke's lips was: "Does this mean the dobe passed?" He still had his indifferent mask, and only if you listened carefully did you hear the slight note of concern in Sasuke's voice. He obviously cared about the well being of the young jinchuriki.
Normal POV:
The ANBU performed first aid on Naruto and Iruka. They took care of Naruto tenderly, all of them having captured him after one of his pranks at least once. They had all known about the demon that was sealed inside of the child, but they all knew the difference between the sealing scroll and the shuriken. All of them thought fondly of the boy, enjoying the pranks as well as the chase afterwards. Of course, the boy had always managed to evade them, but they knew that was pure skill from him. Hell, he hadn't even known the Kyuubi was sealed inside of him until that idiot Mizuki had blabbed and went... you know... psyco.
After they checked both Naruto and Iruka into the hospital, Sasuke went to confront the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen-sama, about the circumstances of his best friend. He wanted to know the truth about why the villagers hated him, why they seemed to want him to drop dead at any second. Sure, he was a little eccentric for them and would pretend to be absolutely good at nothing but pranks, but he had the quality about him that would even make a cold hearted Uchiha like him want to befriend him.
"Ah, hello Sasuke-kun. What can I do for you today?" The Sandaime said in his gravelly voice.
"I would like to know the truth about why Naruto is hated amongst the village. I know from observing the situation with Mizuki, but I doubt that those were all the facts. I mean, how can Naruto be the Kyuubi when he's our age? Besides, he's a total softie." Sasuke questioned, wanting to hear the truth, wanting to help his friend.
The Hokage sighed. "I guess as you are technically the head of your clan," Sasuke flinched at the statement, then waited for the geezer to continue, "you do have the right to know." The Sandaime gave him a hard stare, as if looking at his ice covered soul. "You mustn't tell Naruto about anything I tell you. It is an S - Class secret of this village."
"I will listen to the information and if I decide whether or not he should know." Sasuke said, thinking that he should be honest since this was the Hokage he was speaking with.
"I guess that is all I can hope to get." Sasuke gave his signature 'hn.' "Then let us start at the beginning. Twelve year ago, the Kyuubi no Kitsune had been ripped out of it's host, a young Uzumaki Kushina. She had fallen in love with a brilliant Namikaze Minato. Not many had known about this, Minato had had many enemies who would try to use his wife against him. Kushina was at a weak state as she was giving birth to her only child. The Kyuubi was ripped out of her and attacked Konoha. Many died that day, but the worst deaths were Kushina and Minato. Kushina had died protecting her baby while Minato had died resealing the Kyuubi into another container. Only one child had been born that day, and only she could contain the Kyuubi."
"What do you mean she?" Sasuke asked quietly, dreading the answer.
"Well, when we found the Yondaime's baby, we found that her name was Hoshabi. Sasuke, this is something that Naruto does not know. He is actually a she. Sasuke my boy, the Kyuubi is sealed inside of Hoshabi Uzumaki, surname from his mother, jinchuuriki of the strongest of the bijuu, the Kyuubi no Kitsune."
After hearing this, Sasuke hightailed it, trying to get as far as possible to think about this new revelation.
Two days later, they were having their team placements. Iruka-sensei and Naruto had been released from the hospital, and Iruka-sensei was giving a speech about how he was proud of them, congratulating them all for becoming genin. "Everybody, the new team 7 will be Sakura Haruno," Sakura looked pleased that she was the first to be called. "Sasuke Uchiha,"Sasuke groaned and Sakura cheered while throwing her fist in the air than gave a victory symbol at her rival, Ino Yamanaka. The other girls glared at her, jealous because they all wanted the 'amazing' and 'cool' Sasuke-kun. "And Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto just looked around and nodded. Something was bothering Naruto. Sasuke seemed to be avoiding him recently. The only reason that Naruto could come up with for this was the fact that he'd found out about Kurama. "Your jonin sensei will be Kakashi Hatake."
After that, Naruto just zoned out until they were dismissed for lunch and to wait for their jonin senseis to arrive. (All the teams are the same as in the original) Naruto headed over to Sasuke and Sakura, they were his team after all. "Hey guys! Nice to meet you Sakura-san! Hey teme-" but before he could finish his greeting to Sasuke Sakura had clocked him in the jaw and shouted "Don't bother Sasuke-kun!" Naruto and Sasuke looked at their teammate.
"You should really just kill her, kit. She'll be useless in a fight." Kurama says in Naruto's mind. But if I do, they'll just say I'm a monster and try to get me exiled. I have a better idea... Naruto saw an extra special prank in Sakura's future.
"You have realized that I always call him teme and he always calls me dobe and usuratonkachi, right?" Naruto asks, curious of the power that was packed in that punch. 'She isn't that weak, Kurama. She might actually do well.' "Whatever you say kit."
"We both call each other names, it doesn't bother us because neither of us really mean it." Sasuke said, in his regular bored and better than you voice.
Sakura had the decency to look ashamed after what she did, but didn't apologize. They ate their lunches silently. The teams were all picked up by their jonin sensei's after lunch, but team 7 was still there 2 hours later waiting for this supposed sensei to arrive.
Suddenly, a man with gravity defying silver hair came through the door reading a smut book called 'Icha Icha Paradise'. Naruto and Sasuke seemed to sweat drop seeing their unimpressive sensei while Sakura started screaming at him for being late and how he was a pervert for liking books like that.
"Okay gakis, meet me on the roof in 5 minutes!" He said happily once Sakura was done. He then poofed from the room, as if we're never there. Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other, shrugged, then started walking. Sakura followed behind them shortly after.
Kakashi POV:
That boy, Naruto looked just like his deceased sensei. Of course, he was his sensei's child, but he was a carbon copy of him with his whisker marks as the only real difference. It made me sad of the reminder of yet another of my failures. 'And I never really helped this boy, though he was supposed to be like a brother to me...' The children arrived two minutes later, with the pink haired one trailing behind the duck butt hair styled boy and the copy of his sensei.
"Okay! Now that we're all here, let's introduce ourselves! I'll go first. My name is Hatake Kakashi, I like many things, I dislike many things, and my dream, well, that's none of your business." His cute little wannabe genin seemed to sweat drop at his introduction.
"So, basically, you're a pervert who likes smut books, from what you seem to be reading," Naruto deadpans. I am about to kill this little brat... Just a step and a slice from my kunai...
"You don't like it when people criticize your smut books from your reaction to dobe's statement," Sasuke continues in his usual bored tone.
"And you want to do some of the stuff you read in those smut books if both of our statements are correct." Naruto finished. To say that Kakashi was shocked was a understatement. His visible eye was a perfect circle at that point and he seemed like his jaw had dropped.
The pink haired girl just looked at her two teammates, she'd known that her team would be awesome with Sasuke-kun on it, but Naruto's observation skills had shown that he was pretty good as well.
"Hahaha... Well, uh, why don't you go next, pinkie?" Kakashi says, he seemed to be recovering from the other two's observations.
"Okay, well, my name is Sakura Haruno, I dislike rapists, lazy people and Ino-pig, I like," she looks at Sasuke, blushes, then starts giggling, "and my dream is," she again looks at Sasuke, blushes, and ends in a giggling fit. "And my dream is..." She looks at Sasuke, lets out a giggle similar to certain grey haired men... (Cue Kakashi and a certain toad sage to sneeze, the latter right before he was beaten by a large group of naked women...)
"Okay then..." This girl was a serious fangirl. Seriously, by now Kushina would have beaten her up. "Your up, Mr. Sunshine." Kakashi says, trying to get over the commotion that has been his new team.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I like training and tomatoes, and sometimes the dobe over here," he points at Naruto and he just sticks his tongue out at him. "I dislike traitors and those who don't take training and missions seriously, and my dream- no, its not a dream, because it will happen. My ambition is to kill a certain traitor."
"Sasuke, we talked about this. I'm not going to let you get revenge and kill him until you find the facts out first. He could have been tricked into doing it, or he could have had some really good reasons for doing so." Naruto chatises Sasuke, as if he was his mother and he had had some bad etiquette at a dinner party. Kakashi sweat drops at the scene, mostly because they're both the same age, Sasuke even a few weeks older than him, and Sasuke started pouting. An Uchiha, pouting. He would laugh at the scene, if it weren't so strange.
"Don't scold Sasuke-kun! His ambition is probably better than your, you idiot!" Sakura yelled. Again, another sweat drop from everyone else that saw this scene.
"Okay, Blondie, your turn." Kakashi says, trying to process what just happened.
"Okay, well, my name isn't Blondie, it's Naruto. I like ramen, training, and sometimes the teme." He points to Sasuke, and he just gave his signature 'hn', "I dislike traitors, people who kill without reason, rapists, and people who think they are above anyone because of their family or friends, and the three minutes it takes to cook ramen. My dream is to become a successful shinobi that would make my parents proud of me wherever they are." His voice had become soft by the end of his statement, then to lighten the mood, he slid his happy mask onto his face and screamed, "AND THEN I'M GOING TO BE HOKAGE AND SHOW EVERYONE HOW GREAT I AM!" successfully brightening the mood.
Sasuke, hearing the code of 'being Hokage,' played along. "Like that's going to happen, dobe, its more likely that I'm going to be Hokage than you." He smirked, making this the first expression other than bored that he'd shown the entire time.
"Yeah! Sasuke would be a much better Hokage than you'd ever be!" Sakura yelled. The others made a point to ignore her.
Kakashi sighed, this was going to be a long day tomorrow when they did the test. "You better not eat breakfast tomorrow, meet me at training ground 7 at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning." And with that, he shunshined away.
