True Memories: Flurry of Dancing Flames Chapter 3
Author's Note: To those who have read my story (soon to be stories), please forgive my long absence. My computer has been experiencing some internet problems but it has been fixed. Also, there will be a questionaire at the end concerning my writings and stories. Thank you.
""SAFE!"
With that, the bell rang and the fiery haired boy gave a triumphant laugh and did a victory jig.
"Ha! In your face, Father Time! I Rule and you drool! Yeah baby!"
At this point, everyone, students and Iruka alike, was looking at the boy like he just ingested a whole freaking boat full of sugar. When the boy realized this, he sheepishly laughed.
"Eh heh heh heh, sorry……I was kind of running late and…yeah…" Continuous staring ensues.
"I'll just go to my seat now Iruka-sensei."
"I just hope you're not late to your team meetings, Ren. Punctuality is important to being a ninja too."
"10-4, Iruka-sensei." Ren replied good-naturedly. This earned chuckles and giggles all around except from Sasuke. Who wouldn't expect that from Konoha's resident Prince of Ice? Ren then turned to go find a seat way in the back, due to lack of seats in the front. Iruka then began speaking.
"Since all of you have graduated, you're all now Genin ninja and are eligible to accept missions. But since all of you are beginners, all of you will be separated into a 3-man team except for one team due to the odd number of students. All of the teams will also be assigned a Jonin to guide and instruct them in the ways of the ninja. Also, we have separated the teams to balance everyone's strengths and weaknesses."
This in turn got Iruka a very loud cry of indignation from the students, which surprisingly broke no windows. Various thoughts ran across some young ninjas' minds, let's take a gander, shall we?
'How troublesome…' Shikamaru lazily thought.
'Oh, I hope I'm on Naruto's team.' Hinata shyly thought, all the while fidgeting with her fingers the way she does whenever she is shy.
'I don't care who I'm with as long as it's Sakura…except Sasuke. I hate Sasuke!' Naruto thought.
'Hmmm…sounds like 2 people too many…' Was Sasuke's arrogant thought.
As for the rest of the female population, they all had one thought coming across their minds, including Sakura and Ino.
'I better be on Sasuke's team!'
Of course, in Sakura's mind there's a "Chyah!" at the end but that can wait. Iruka began to read off the teams. Things got interesting when Team 7 was called.
"Team 7 shall consist of Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno…"
"ALRIGHT!" Naruto yelled out triumphantly.
"Oh man…" Sakura mumbled.
"…Sasuke Uchiha…"
"ALRIGHT!" Was Sakura's triumphant yell. Funny how some things turn out the same
"Oh man…" Naruto and Sakura must be on some mental wave length or something, eh?
"And Ren Uchiha." Now all of the girls were groaning in disappointment. Now both bachelors were out of their reach. Ren could only grin at his luck.
'Alright, I get to be on the same team as my cuz' and favorite pink-haired girl.' Ren thought.
'Scratch that…3 people too many…' Sasuke thought.
'Oh…I'm not on Naruto's team…' Was Hinata's sad thought. Will Hinata ever be able to profess her love to our favorite maverick ninja? Speaking of, Naruto chose this time to voice…or rather yell his thoughts.
"Iruka-sensei! Why does an outstanding ninja like me, end up with someone like Sasuke?" Iruka replied to this outburst calmly.
"As I said before, the teams are based upon balancing everyone's strengths and weaknesses. Sasuke got the top grades while you got the worst grades."
"Just don't drag me down, dope." Was Sasuke's taunt towards Naruto. It then turned into an argument which ended with Sakura bashing Naruto on the head and Ren laughing his head off. Iruka could only let out a sigh which then turned to a small grin.
'Ah, they'll work it out.' Iruka thought with hope.
"Well, that's about it for now. You'll all be introduced to your Jonin teachers later in the afternoon so why don't you all go out for a small break until then?"
The students didn't need to be told twice so they exited to go do whatever they do on their breaks.
Questionaire: For a long time now, I've had some drafts on how the other members of the Organization XIII members will come into the Naruto story (mind that the stories will be seperate entities). But I've also taken a look at the length of my recent writings and noticed how short they are. In the form of a review or an e-mail, please answer the 2 questions.
1. Should I write moe to get more of the story-line accomplished and to allow more satisfied reading?
And...
2. Who should be introduced next? Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Saix, Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, Larxene, Roxas, or Xemnas? Depending on who is chosen, I might have another questionaire concerning on how some characters are introduced into the story on the next update (Namely, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, Saix, Demyx, Roxas, or Xemnas). Thank you.
