Iruka smiled and looked at the newly graduated Genin.
"Alright, everyone hush!" He yelled.
Once the Genin complied, Iruka nodded approvingly.
"Team 7. Uchiha Sasuke. Haruno Sakura. Uzumaki Naruto. Sensei…--"
"Iruka-sensei! Why am I stuck with that emo bastard?!?" Naruto burst out.
For once, Sakura agreed. Iruka, however, was less than pleased.
"It's because we wanted to balance out the teams in terms of ability." He said, in a tone that left no room for argument. "Your sensei is Hatake Kakashi."
Silence.
"Now." Iruka continued. "Team 8. Hyuga Hinata. Aburame Shino. Inuzuka Kiba. Sensei…Yuhi Kurenai. Team 10. Nara Shikamaru. Yamanaka Ino. Akimichi Chouji." Iruka paused, re-checking his list. "Your sensei will be Sarutobi Asuma," finished the Academy instructor.

Two hours later, only Team Seven remained. Sasuke was being his emo self, Sakura was reading, and Naruto was setting up an eraser in the door.
"Naruto-kun, what are you doing?" Sakura asked, without even looking up.
"He deserves this for being late! Naruto proclaimed.
Sakura sighed, while Inner Sakura cheered. "Cha!"
Naruto grinned. "Sakura-chan?" He asked, walking over to her.
"Yes, Naruto-kun?"
"What'cha reading?" He asked, taking the seat next to her.
"A book." Came her reply.
"Cool."
Meanwhile Sasuke was brooding.
'What does that dobe have that I, an Uchiha, do not?' he wondered.
Sasuke had to admit, when Sakura wasn't fawning over him, she was rather attractive. 'Wait, what?'
But before he could ponder further, the door slid open, and the eraser fell on a head of silver hair.
'That's a Jounin?' mused Sasuke
That's pathetic. Crowed Inner Sakura.
'Ha-ha, he fell for it!' Naruto snickered.
Kakashi glared at the trio. First Sasuke, who was wearing his usual 'I'm better than you' face. Next "pinky" as the Jounin dubbed her, who was paying more attention to her book than to her surroundings. Last, but not least, was Naruto, who looked very much like he was trying not to bust up laughing.
"My first impression of you three…..I hate you all."
"Hn." Sasuke replied with his trademark phrase.
'So?' Sakura rolled her eyes.
What a wuss! Sounded a voice in Naruto's mind which he couldn't help but agree fully with.
"Meet me on the roof in five minutes," said their now chalk-haired teacher.
