The next morning:

The three arrived together at the meeting place. "Damn it we have to wait another forty-five minutes." Naruto said cracking his fists. "Well let's get to building that catapult." Idate said.

The three nodded and began to disperse when they're sensei arrived. "After what you did to me I'm not letting any of you have time to construct new torture for me."

The three giggled lightly before letting him continue.

"Since you are going to part of my team I decided that I would conduct my own examination to test your skills."

The genin sighed but nodded after; Kakashi was slightly surprised by their simple answer. "We kind of knew that you were going to test us on your own so we were practicing yesterday to fight you."

"Well good choice because basically that's what you'll be doing," Kakashi reached into his ninja pouch and pulled out two bells attached to strings. "You will be fighting me to get one of these. I want you to come at me with the intent to kill."

Kakashi tucked the rope into his belt and crossed his arms. The three genin nodded to each other and all pulled out radios that wrapped around they're necks. They all got into fighting stances.

Naruto's appendages began glowing and began pulling chakra out and it began swirling around his fists and feet. His fists were brought up near his face, his right leg forward facing Kakashi, his left was behind him. Both feet were resting facing his left side the same as his chest.

Hana crouched down with both hands supporting her with her three puppies in front of her growling.

Idate unattached his leg weights and threw them over near the trees of the forest getting into a stance like Naruto's but bouncing ready to move at any moment.

Kakashi put an alarm clock on one of the posts near bye. "You have until noon to get the bells."

Each of the genin reached into they're pouches and pulled out soldier pills, they popped them into they're mouth making sure they give one to each of the dogs.

They're chakra flared out of they're bodies and receded back to a slight glow.

'They're smart, they didn't eat anything but still got the necessary nutrition from the soldier pills, they are a well oiled machine. But how do they actually fare in battle?'

"Ready… Set… Go!" Kakashi yelled.

Idate flew up with first punch, Kakashi was able to dodge by hoping back, Idate continued his combos, distracting the Jounin while Hana, her dogs and Naruto began racing up the field towards them.

Naruto made a hand sign and yelled "Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" then five clones appeared behind Naruto. Idate managed to make Kakashi jump in the air to dodge a sweep kick.

The Narutos grabbed hold of the jounin's arms and legs while the others run up. The dogs all bit down on his appendages while Hana went for the bells.

Just before Hana reached the bells the body of they're jounin sensei was engulfed in white smoke before becoming a chopped up log.

The three landed facing each other. "Channel 2." Naruto said changing the frequency of his radio. The other two nodded and the six of them jumped off into the forest.

The masked jounin came out of the bushes back into the clearing arms folded.

'That was really close they could have taken my arms off with those teeth. I wonder what they're planning now?'

Then suddenly three blurs came out of the forest charging. The masked jounin jumped back and grabbed one of the blurs.

'It's one of those dogs.' The two other blurs attached themselves to the man knocking him down.

Then there was some rumbling at his feet and a yellow blur appeared and grabbed both of his legs. Then something flew right to his head and held a kunai to Kakashi's neck.

"Hana now!" The blonde yelled.

"Tsuuga!" erupted from the ground below the masked man. Right next to him a spiraling gray blur came out of the ground and grabbed the bells from the mans belt.

Hana appeared holding the bells and passing one to Idate. The man held to the ground smiled behind his mask and said.

"You pass."

Several days later:

Team four has been doing the same mission over and over again for the past few days. Chase and capture the daimyo's wife's cat. It's harder because Hana had her dogs barking at the red blur but caught it nonetheless.

They even began running a contest against the other teams to see who would catch it first, it was like The Hunt but with ninja and cats. Their teamwork only grew since they had scheduled training and a sensei to tell them what they did wrong.

Naruto still brought a few of his Dad's scrolls with them to training so they can work on more advanced jutsus.

Many times they requested to have mock battles with the other teams, which only two others completed. They won every time and even helped out the other teams when they grudgingly accepted.

Soon the chunnin exams began coming up and Kakashi called them on a meeting about it.

They arrived to see their Jounin sensei reading his orange book. "Hey just to let you guys know. I signed you up for the chunnin exams. I think you all will do good in it." Kakashi then handed each of them a paper.

"You have to sign these and hand them in at the academy on Friday at 3:00 PM. Dismissed." They're sensei disappeared in a whirl of leaves.

They looked at the papers and looked at each other. "What do you guys think?" Naruto said looking for their answers. "I say we do it, we have the most powerful teamwork attacks. We can blow away the competition." Idate said.

"Idate's right if we all work together we can blow away the competition." Hana said putting her hand on Naruto's shoulder making him smile.

"Thanks Hana I needed that." Naruto said pulling out his foxy grin. "I need to pick up a few things at home if we're going to go in the chunnin exams alright." Naruto added waving to his friends.

When Naruto was finally out of earshot Idate turned to the Inuzuka girl and put a knowing grin on. "What?" She asked petting one of the three puppies. "So when are you going to tell him?" Idate said smiling.

Hana immediately blushed crimson red. "Please don't tell him, I want to be the one to tell him." Hana said poking her index fingers together. "Ah it's alright, I find it kind of hard not to like him."

"I want to wait till it seems less weird to ask him." She said smiling at her to fingers. "It's perfectly fine if you don't stare at him when we're in a fight." She nodded and went back to petting the puppies.

Naruto's house:

Naruto just entered his own house and made a beeline for the scroll room. He walked in and went for orange scroll in the middle of the room. He rolled it open and kanji began forming.

Hey Naruto, it's been a little bit.

Naruto bit his thumb and began writing.

Yeah, anyway I became a ninja a few days ago and my sensei just gave me a permission slip for the chunnin exams.

You're in the chunnin exams? How long have you been a genin? And who's your sensei?

I've been a genin for a few days and some guy named Kakashi…

Kakashi's your sensei? Hehehehe I was his sensei he probably wanted to teach your team. Wait you've been a genin for a few DAYS! Well congratulations on becoming a genin, now listen closely under the chair is scroll I left especially for you, I favored using this jutsu a lot and I made it myself.

Okay I'll take a look at it see you Dad I'll talk to you after the exams.

All right, remember this, teamwork should be favored over everything in the exams never forsake your friends for anything.

Okay I'll see you later.

And Naruto closed the scroll and went under the chair. There under it was a red and light blue scroll. Naruto fished it out and shown it into the light.

"Rasengan?" Naruto put the scroll in his ninja pouch and went around collecting scrolls on wind ninjutsus for him, taijutsu for Idate and tag team jutsus for Hana and ran back out of the house.

A few days later:

It's a day away from the exams and team four is training like no tomorrow. Naruto has been learning wind jutsu and the strange Rasengan. It was like one of his Chakra Pulse punches, but with a lot more kick.

Idate's doubled his leg weights and is moving at insane speeds. Also learning taijutsu styles originating from clan techniques

Hana and her ninja puppies began learning more of her clan's techniques along with new jutsu from Yondaime's scrolls. She also taught Naruto and Idate how to understand them.

Tomorrow was Friday and they are just finishing their training.

"Whew, that was tough, I don't think I've never trained so hard." Idate said panting. "Well we've never taken the chunnin exams before but I'm guessing that it will be tough so I'm glad we did." Naruto said panting as well.

"Yeah but we all got to work together, it's either we all pass or all fail." Hana said sitting down to breathe. "That's going to be easier said than done but we'll try." Naruto said before the other two nodded.

"Hey Naruto-kun can I talk to you?" Hana said waving him over. "Well I got to go, see you guys tomorrow at the academy." Idate said waving and running off.

Naruto walked over to her as both of them sat down. "I know this will be kind of random but I need to ask you. In a few years when our age difference doesn't matter would you go out with me?"

Naruto stared at the Inuzuka in disbelief. "After all the stuff you know about me you still want to go out with me." Hana nodded. Naruto thought for a moment before smiling a warm smile and saying. "Of course I would go out with you. You're alright with waiting the few years?"

In an instant Hana tackled the blonde hugging him. "I would wait forever for you to go out with me."

Before Naruto could say anything Hana kisses him on the lips for no longer than a second. "I have to go now, bye."

Hana got up helping Naruto up with her and she ran off with her gray puppies close behind. Naruto felt his lips and thought. 'Why do I have to three years younger than her?'

Naruto walked back wishing that he if he was just a little bit older the date would have happened immediately.

The next day:

It was 2:45 and all the members of team four walked into the academy. Walking up and around the staircases passing some group circled around a door. They finally entered the room where they're sat about twenty other genin.

Quietly they walked over to the wall to the right of the door and leaned against it and began strategizing.

"Okay I suggest we split up the Haimaru siblings that way we all have a good sense of smell and an extra pair of eyes in case we get split up." Hana suggested. The three nodded and took one of the puppies and put it on they're head.

"Remember either we all pass or we all fail, we all need each other." Naruto said.

Then suddenly a voice erupted from the front of the room. "Alright everyone shut up!"

One hour later:

The three members of team four sat in anxiety for the tenth question. They were separated and each one of them had one of Hana's ninja puppies on their head. They had to sit in a classroom and steal the answers while not being noticed and now were waiting for the tenth question.

"Let me just say now that the question has some drawbacks. You can choose to quit now and play it safe. But if you choose to answer the question then one of your teammates will fail and never become chunnin, raise your hand if you want to wait till next year."

The three kid-genin looked around until they found each other and nodded. Shakily all three of them raised their hands and walked out. Only one other group did this as well. They walked down with their heads hung until they opened the door.

Each of the failed participants filed out and closed the door. Just when they were about to walk back out a voice came from behind them.

"You all chose well, you pass." The six turned around to see Idate's brother smirking at them. "Wait what? You're going to have to run that by me again." Naruto said confused.

The scarred man's smirk grew and pointed inside of the classroom. They all looked in and began listening in.

"Well since no one looks like they're about to quit it look like you all FAIL!"

There was an outburst in the room when the Ibiki in the classroom erupted into a white smoke and disappeared out of existence. The six genin turned to the proctor in the hallway and he said.

"Since there are only two teams left we will have to skip the second exam and go to the third. In one month come to the stadium in the middle of the village. There you will compete in one on one fight between the two teams. We'll explain more later but now you're free to go."

The opposing gennin team was two boys and one girl. One of them had their headband wrapped around their head like a bandana with a few locks of hair sticking out the middle. He had a turtle neck long sleeve shirt with a blue stripe circling the arms.

The other had a swollen nose and three bandages with one on his chin and the other two on his cheeks. He had two large kunai on his back.

The girl though had purple hair with a black t-shirt with a brown skirt and fishnet wrappings around her legs. She also had a necklace made of wood around her neck with a sullen look on her face.

The boy with the bandana headband spoke. "Aren't you kids a little young for the chunnin exams." He said pointing to them.

"So?" Idate said. "So why are you trying to become chunnin? The blonde kid looks like he's five." "I am five years old." The two gennin's eyes widened as they stared at the mini Yondaime.

Naruto smiled widely making the purple haired girl's eyes widen. "C-can I talk to you alone?" She asked him. The rest of the group turned to stare at her before Naruto nodded dumbly.

The two walked further from the group and stood near another door. "You're the kid with the Kyuubi sealed in him right?" The blonde nodded once again. She leaned against the wall looking down.

"How are you so happy? I would've broken by now if I had to go through that for my whole life. Not that I don't now." Naruto looked up to her with a questioning and amazed look on his face.

"My… first sensei was a bad person he left the village with me and he betrayed me. Now everyone treats me badly, maybe as bad as you. How are you at all happy, I'm miserable." She said.

Naruto looked down and leaned against the wall beside her. "I guess to tell you the truth, I'm not really happy all the time. I just happen to smile a lot so the people I care about don't worry about me. Don't you have someone that you care about?"

The girl turned to him and stared before looking down to think. "The Hokage I guess." Naruto smiled lightly and said. "Me too, the old man has done a lot for me, also my teammates. And when I think about them it just makes me smile sometimes."

The girl thought for am moment before smiling widely herself. "I guess your right, thanks."

Naruto nodded before being captured in tight hug from the girl. She let go still in her smile. "I'll see you around." She said before walking back eventually followed by Naruto.

The two gennin of team four looked confused at Naruto. "It's alright, she just needed to ask me something." "Then why did she hug you?" Hana asked. Naruto thought for a moment while blushing and scratching the back of his head.

"Uh, she needed one?" He asked. Hana narrowed her eyes. "Fine." She said crossing her arms.

Naruto turned to see the other team walking away. "Oi, I didn't catch your names!" He yelled. They turned and the bandana headband wearing ninja said. "I'm Kamizuki Izumo." The bandaged ninja then said. "I'm Hagane Kotetsu."

The purple haired girl pointed dramatically at them before yelling. "I'm Mitarashi Anko, you better watch out before I kick all your asses!"

The other five sweat dropped and the team walked out followed by team four.

(A/N: I've decided with the chance I have been given with this fic that it will be a harem. But it will be mostly about Naruto and Hana. Rate and Review please.)
