Innocent Naruto 01
~.~
"Yes it's a new day for Naruto!" A great big ball of sunshine smiled to himself. "Now Naruto will get to show everyone Naruto's new outfit! They'll love it and Naruto will be the best of friends with Naruto's new teammates!"
Naruto couldn't handle the stress of being hated, so he reverted back to a childish mindset of innocence and believing in everyone (more-so than the regular Naruto). Not only that but he only spoke in third person.
"It's so cute!" Naruto beamed at his new outfit as he posed in front of the mirror. His outfit was similar to his old one but with modifications. His coat wasn't as baggy and had a hood with fur outlining it added, the coat was less a electric orange and changed to a burnt orange with tiger-black stripes and he changed the pants to cargo-type shorts that went past his knees with the same design as the coat. He left the coat unzipped and wore a black t-shirt underneath and instead of blue sandals, he wore black. He wore his headband on his neck with black cloth and put his hair in a high ponytail. His hair looked similar to Jiraiya the Sennin, but instead of it being to shaggy, his hair was thinner but still retained the spikes.

"Team 7 will be Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Uzumaki Naruto. Your jounin instructor is Hatake Kakashi." Umino Iruka called off.
Sakura instantly squealed and laughed at Ino for not getting on Sasuke's team. Sasuke just glared at Sakura before turning his attention to Naruto who sat next to Sakura. Naruto was just humming and beamed when Sasuke looked at him. Sasuke couldn't be mad at Naruto since Naruto was just too cute (not that he would say that to anyone and he would deny it to his dying breath). Then Sakura turned her attention to Naruto and hugged him like a teddy bear and cooing over how cute he was.
"Naruto likes you too Sakura-chan! Naruto's glad Naruto's on your team!" Naruto said cutely, making every female in the room aww at his cuteness (and every male but they wouldn't admit it).

Meanwhile with the jounins and the Hokage watching through the crystal ball
The Hokage smiled at the team knowing that Naruto would be well taken care of.
"You better be nice to Naruto-chan Kakashi! Or I'll sick Hinata on you!" Yuhi Kurenai threatened.
Sarutobi Asuma laughed at Kakashi's plight and smacked him across the back while Kakashi just stared at Kurenai with a bemused expression.

Back with the new genin
After the excitement of Naruto's cuteness died down, Iruka finished calling off the teams before signaling a thirty minute lunch break and to report back to be introduced to their jounin instructors. Naruto gave his two teammates puppy-dog eyes and they couldn't deny him so they all left for some ramen...Sasuke's treat.
After thirty minutes were up, the students trickled in slowly, followed by Iruka. Many teams didn't have to wait long for their sensei's to show up, just between five to ten minutes. The only team that was not picked up within that timeframe was Team 7, who waited for three hours and the only thing their sensei said was, "Chibi genins, meet me on the roof."

"Now that we established that I'm your sensei, let's introduce ourselves. Your name, likes, dislikes, hobbies and dreams for the future."
"How about you go first sensei," commented Sakura.
"Okay. You know my name, my likes...my dislikes...my dreams," Kakashi giggled, "Your turn Pink Chibi."
"My name is Haruno Sakura, I like Naruto-chan and-" insert insane giggle, "I dislike Ino-pig, my hobby is playing with Naruto-chan and my dreams-" insert high-pitched squeal! Naruto perked happily because Sakura liked him and hugged happily.
"Okay, you next Black Chibi."
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I have no likes and many dislikes." Here he stops to glare at nothing. "I don't have a dream but an ambition, to resurrect my clan and kill a certain man." Naruto gave a sad pout and widened his eyes at Sasuke with Sakura glaring at him. Sasuke looked like a deer in headlights before mumbling, "I like Naruto-chan too."
Sakura stopped her glaring and Naruto giggled and hugged Sasuke too. He was sitting in the middle of the trio.
"Next Yellow Chibi!"
Naruto giggled, "Naruto's name is Uzumaki Naruto! Naruto likes Sakura-chan, Sasuke-kun and everyone in class lots! Naruto also likes pretty flowers. Naruto doesn't dislike anything and Naruto's hobbies are playing with everyone and pressing flowers! Naruto's dream is to be friends with everyone!"
His declaration was met with smiles from everyone, even Sasuke. Naruto was just too cute.
Kakashi clapped his hands together with an eye-smile. "Now that we're all introduced. Come by training ground three at six in the morning for your real test to become a genin. And remember to not eat breakfast, you'll throw up." Finishing with a smile he left in a poof of smoke.
"Naruto's going to become a genin with Sakura-chan and Sasuke-kun right?" Naruto smiled at the two with bright eyes.
"Cha! Yes we are Naruto-chan!" Sakura beamed back.
Both Naruto and Sakura turned to look at Sasuke expectantly. Sasuke just nodded and gave Naruto and Sakura a small smile.
"Yes!" Naruto yelled for all to hear. His adorableness and excitement caught on to the others. They knew they would be genin and friends forever.
