Thanks to all who reviewed. You may not be many, but I like getting any kind of review ;-P

Genin of the Leaf

Naruto woke up to the violent shaking of his body. As he sat up he looked forward and saw captain Yamato sitting against a tree stretching out his arms. Next to him was the white haired Jakon who had apparently woken him up. As he tried to stand up a stinging pain went through his head and his hands jumped to the back of his head.

"Are you ok?" asked Jakon "What happened?"

Naruto sat there and thought about what happened before he lost conciseness.

As Naruto watched to see who would make the first move against Yamato he went up a tree to watch. After about five minutes passed Yamato left the spot were he had been standing and went deeper into the forest. Naruto followed and watched the former ANBU set up some obvious kunai and wood traps with his wire and wood jutsu. He then jumped through and used his wood jutsu to hide inside a tree and wait.

Soon Naruto saw Jakon hiding in the tree tops looking down at the trapped area. Soon he pulled out several shuriken and threw them at the wires. He jumped and threw one after another. When they hit four traps sprung. When the fifth did not though he ran through and landed on the tree that Yamato was inside "Bad luck for him" said Naruto silently. As expected the wood came up and surrounded on of his hands. Yamato came out of the tree and approached Jakon and started talking.

Wasting no time the boy used the kunai in his other hand, freed himself and went into a kick and jumped down to the ground making seals. The boy suddenly started glowing and a bright light came out of his body.

Naruto blocking the light with his hands felt himself lose balance and felt himself fall. Then nothing more.

Naruto looked at Jakon, still holding his head. "I fell off the tree when you used your jutsu. What was that you used?"

Jakon giving a guilty smile answered "Oh that? It was my Static Light no jutsu. It turns my chakra into a bright electric light. It might look dangerous but this version of it wouldn't hurt you unless you keep looking at it."

"Really? For a second there I thought you were going to use chidori. Were you learn a jutsu like that?" asked Naruto.

Jakon looked at Naruto with a look of surprise on his face "I though you would have figured it out. I told you my family was from the Lightning Village originally. My family has developed this jutsu and others."

"What your from the Lightning Village? I though we were at war with them for a long time and still weren't allies?"

Jakon let out a sigh and answered the question, obviously having heard them before "My mother and father decided to move our entire family here five years ago because how peaceful it was here. The Lightning Village is nothing like here. They are always preparing for a war, as if it will come any day now. That was when we left though. Since Orochimaru attacked Konoha it might have gotten even worse."

"Oh ok. Tell me more about your jutsu. It seemed real-…"

"Not now Naruto" broke in Yamato, who had managed to stand up and was leaning against the tree, his right leg still not working properly. Naruto saw this and inquired to what happened. Yamato informed Naruto on what Hanabi had done and what she said. "Naruto, don't do anything brash." Said Yamato "While what she did my seem wrong to you, her reasoning was that of a shinobi, and she was right when it came down to cold logic."

Naruto obviously didn't like this answer and made it known "What? She is supposed to be on out TEAM and she did something like that. She's worse than Sasuke or Neji ever were. At least neither of them ever tried to use there teammates and nearly injure them and leave them to die in enemy hands. No," said Naruto when Yamato tried to intervene "I don't care if it was an exercise or she knew he wouldn't get hurt. The meaning of the bell test is teamwork, something she doesn't know anything abo…"

"ENOUGH Naruto" yelled Yamato giving Naruto his scary eyes "I know how you feel about teamwork and all, but its not your place to decide. I am her sensei and she is the member of the most powerful clan in Konoha. If she is simply disciplined without the notification or consent of the clan head there could be grave repercussions for the village. Since Orochimaru attacked the village still hasn't gotten back to its full power, and the loss of the Hyuga clan could be crippling."

Jakon broke in here, having been the one used and nearly hurt "But Naruto is right, she cant be allowed to just get away with this. Something has to be done."

"And it will." Said Yamato "But that is between the Hyuga and the Hokage. Now Naruto help me out here, my leg is still numb and not moving completely, though it should be better by morning."

With that the threesome walked back to the village and to the Hokage's tower. When Yamato went into the Hokage's office Sakura came out. Glad to see the pink haired girl after the morning fiasco Naruto went up to her to start a conversation.

"Hey, Sakura-Chan."

"Hey Naruto. What's wrong with Captain Yamato? It looks like he has a limp there."

"Yeah" said Naruto with the smile leaving his face "It happened during a bell test with the new team."

"Oh yea, you have a new genin team. What are they like?"

"Well the one over there," said Naruto pointing to Jakon who was leaning against a wall left of Naruto "it pretty nice and he has a really cool jutsu. But the other one is the one who gave Captain Yamato the limp. She is Hinata's little sister, so it didn't take much to give him a limp."

"Yeah. I'll never be able to get over the fact that there are people who can do stuff like that with a touch."

"She is real arrogant like Neji used to be." Said Naruto "But I'll put up with her if it means I can become a chuunin."

Sakura let out a small laugh and smiled at Naruto "Your still not over not being chuunin yet?"

A little irritated Naruto answered "Well yeah. You were allowed to take Shikamaru's spot on Asuma's team and the others all passed their chuunin exams as teams. I'm the only one. Besides" said Naruto getting a big grin that seemed to cover his face "how am I supposed to become Hokage if I'm just a genin."

Jakon watched as Naruto and some pink haired girl talked. He wondered what kind of person he was. He didn't seem arrogant like Hanabi and he didn't really care what Jakon looked like, like the other kids at the Academy. Naruto was a nearly complete stranger and yet he treated Jakon like more of a friend than any one else in Konoha, It was so strange.

Presently a young girl with long blue hair walked in. She had on black pants and a black jacket that was zipped all the way up. It was her eye's that Jakon paid real attention to. Her eyes were all white, the eyes of a Hyuga. Jakon kept staring at her, wondering if she was like Hanabi. Eventually she saw him staring, and he noticed he had put a frown on his face without noticing it. The girl lowered her eyes the corner and kept walking forward.

"Hey Hinata-Chan" yelled a zealous Naruto "How ya doing?"

The girl blushed and pit her fingers together "O-oh, Naruto-kun. I-I didn't see you there. How are you?" The girl obviously had a crush on Naruto, even Jakon could tell and it was the first time he had seen her.

"Oh I'm doing great." The smile slipped from his face "Hey Hinata" said Naruto his voice becoming serious "what can you tell me about your sister?"

The small girl clearly shocked by the question answered "H-Hanabi? Not very much. She is my little sister, but we don't get along very well since father had chose to train her instead of me. She is very proud of the clan and has trained very hard since she was five in order to graduate from the academy and be named clan heir." The girl looked down at the ground sadly. No she was clearly not like Hanabi at all.

"Oh okay. I was just wondering because I'm on her genin team now."

Hinata looked up with surprise "Really, I had forgotten you weree a genin still."

The pink haired girl, he thought he heard Naruto call her Sakura smiled and put her arm aound his neck and pulled his head down "Oh yeah Hinata and neither can he." Hinata let out a a small laugh at the scene and Jakon couldent help but laugh too.

It was when he laughed that Sakura noticed him. Narutos head still firmly in her arms she called over to him, "Hey your Jakon right?Your on Naruto's team too now right?"

"Mmhh"mumbled Naruto who's mouth was covered by Sakura's arm.

"Yes I am. I'm Jakon Orashi, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Hi I'm Sakura Haruno." Said Sakura

"I'm Hinata Hyuga." Said Hinata very meakly.

Jakon felt bad now. Was she being so meak because he had stared at her like that. "Its very nice to meet you both. You were both genin with Naruto?"

Sakura smiled "Yeah, I was on a team with him."

"Oh I hope your other team mate wont be to dissapointed at losing him." Said Jakon sincerely. Though when he said it the smile left her face. Hinata too looked upset by what he said and her eyes went back down to the ground.

Sakura gave a weak smile and said "I'm sure Sasuke misses Naruto a lot."

Yamato came out of the the office his limp on his right leg not as bad as it was anymore "Alright, team we have the rest of the day off." then he noticed Hinata there, "Oh Hinata, would you save me a trip and tell your sister to report here in the morning for our first mission?"

"Yes Yamato-sama, I'm sorry I cannot talk Sakura-chan, but I must give my report to the Hokage." And with that the young woman went into the office.

Yamato had begun to walk out the door and Jakon was about to follow then relized something. "Um Sakura-chan?"

"Yeah?"

"Can Naruto-Kun breath like that?" and Sakura dropped nNaruto on to the ground.
