Chapter Three-Teams-

---------------------------------------------Team Assignments----------------------------------------

Naruto confidently walked into the classroom with a big smile on his face when the slothful genius noticed him. Nara Shikamaru wore a light green shirt open down the middle and fishnet underneath, dark pants and his headband wrapped around his arm. His hair was black and was in a ponytail.

He looked at Naruto and asked, "What are you doing here Naruto? This place is for people who are actually Genin."

Naruto dramatically pointed to his headband and said loudly, "Oh really? Well good thing that I am a Genin now."

Inuzuka Kiba, a boy with spiky brown hair in a gray hoodie with black pants and a dog in his hoodie, whom took notice of the conversation replied, "We all know you failed that test, how'd a baka like you get that headband?"

Naruto replied, while walking towards an empty seat, "That's a secret."

As Naruto took his seat two girls rushed into the room. One had a long blonde ponytail, blue eyes, a slim figure and face, and was clad in a purple tank top and skirt with white bandages underneath and her headband around her waist. Yamanaka Ino was her name. The other had pink hair tied back by her headband and green eyes. She wore a long red shirt that was almost a dress and black shorts. This was Haruno Sakura.

"I totally got here first forehead," yelled Ino.

"My foot stepped in first Ino-pig," Sakura argued.

"Ha, as if. If anything got here before me it would have been you're forehead, but it does get a few miles of a head start," Ino harshly replied.

Then both girls made a dash for the seat next to Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke wore a blue shirt and white pants. He had long, for a boy, black hair and eyes that matched.

Once again they started to argue and Naruto said, "Okay listen up girls. Its just a seat next to the guy. Its not like he's gonna fall in love with anyone who sits there! You're acting ridiculous."

"Coming from a baka like you that's hilarious," Ino replied.

"Yeah Naruto-baka, what did you do beg Iruka-sensei to let you be a Genin?" Sakura added.

Naruto sarcastically remarked, "Oh yes, because Iruka-sensei would really let someone who wouldn't last in the ninja world be a Genin. I earned this through my sweat and blood because that's what a great shinobi would do and I'm gonna be Hokage, the greatest of the great."

"Hn. Like a dobe like you could ever be Hokage," the brooding Uchiha said.

Naruto angrily said, "I really don't care what you think, I am going to be Hokage."

Sasuke seemed ready to retort, but then everybody noticed Iruka standing at the front of the classroom and quieted down.

"I congratulate all of you for becoming shinobi and now we will start sorting you into teams," he said with a smile on his face.

"Well get on with it!" Kiba exclaimed.

Iruka sighed at Kiba's impatience and started to call of teams, "Team One…"

"Team Seven, Akimichi Choji, Inuzuka Kiba, and Yamanaka Ino."

Choji was a boy on the fat side and wore a cap-like headband. He had brown hair and eyes and wore a scarf, a green jacket with a white shirt that had the kanji for eat on it, and black pants.

Currently Choji was thinking, 'Oh man, I'm not on Shikamaru's team. I just hope Kiba-kun and Ino-chan will be nice to me.'

Kiba was thinking, 'Nice Ino-chan is hot and Choji seems like a nice guy so we'll probably get along. We'll be the best team ever!'

Ino's thoughts, however were not quiet as positive, 'Great, I'm on the team with the mutt and the fatass. Why couldn't I be put on the same team as Sasuke-kun? I just hope forehead isn't put on his team.'

"Team Eight, Aburame Shino, Haruno Sakura, and Hyuuga Hinata."

Shino was silent and had brown hair and round black sunglasses obscuring his eyes. He wore a long tan trench coat that covered his mouth and brown pants. Hinata had black hair, violet eyes with no pupils, a tan sweater, black pants, and wore her headband like a necklace.

Shino was thinking, 'Hmm. It appears that this is a reconnaissance team. I gather large pieces of information, Hinata-san checks with the Byakugan, and Sakura-san provides a Genjutsu cover. Our sensei is most likely going to be someone of this field.'

Hinata was thinking, 'I'm not on Naruto-kun's team.'

Sakura was thinking, 'Damn not on Sasuke-kun's team. Oh well Shino-kun is a little strange, but not too bad and Hinata-chan is infinitely greater then Ino-pig. At least Ino-pig isn't on Sasuke-kun's team either.'

"Team Ten, Nara Shikamaru, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uzumaki Naruto."

Naruto's thoughts were immediately vocalized when he screamed, "NANI? Why do I have to be on a team with this arrogant jerk."

"Well Naruto-kun, you had the worst test results while Sasuke-kun had the best. It was the best idea to put you on the team with him," Iruka stated plainly.

Sasuke coldly said, "I'm the one who's suffering here, I'm stuck with some deadweight that will only hold me back from my goals."

"Oh, I'm deadweight am I? Well lets see if you still think that after I'm done kicking your ass all around this room," Naruto loudly retorted.

Shikamaru sighed at his teammates antics and lazily said, "How troublesome."

Naruto was getting ready to start a fight with Sasuke when Iruka finally had enough and shouted, "ENOUGH! You two are teammates now, stop trying to start a fight and wait for your sensei."

Naruto begrudgingly stopped and sat down scowling at Sasuke. He actual respected Sasuke's abilities, but his attitude angered him greatly.

Just after the incident a woman that wore an interesting dress of red and bandages. She seemed rather passionate and had raven locks and red eyes.

She looked across the room and said, "My name is Yuuhi Kurenai and I am here to collect Team Eight. So Team Eight please follow me."

Sakura, Hinata, and Shino all got up and followed their new sensei.

Over the next hour or so other teams' sensei came to collect their teams and just before when their sensei was suppose to arrive a big man came in. He wore a standard issued shinobi jacket, a sash around his waist, and black pants. He wore a bandanna headband, had a cigarette in his hand, had brown eyes and a rough beard.

He saw that there was only a few teams left and said, "Team Ten, you're with me. Oh and whatever team is Team Seven, well get comfortable."

Naruto, Shikamaru, and Sasuke got up to follow him with the smoke from his cigarette running right into them. He lead them to a nice park and their eyes were watering, well except for Naruto.

"Alright, well we might as well get to know each other a little better. But first why are two crying?" he asked.

Shikamaru responded, "We aren't crying the smoke from your cigarette is making our eyes water."

"And shouldn't you give us an example of it so we know what you're looking for?" Sasuke asked.

"Okay I will. My name is Sarutobi Asuma. I like smoking and shogi. I dislike a few things. A small dream for the future is to get on good terms with my dad. Now your turn Nara," Asuma said.

Shikamaru yawned and said, "How troublesome. My name is Nara Shikamaru. I like shogi, sleeping, and watching clouds. I dislike work and troublesome women. My dream for the future is to get married to a girl whom is neither too pretty or too ugly, have two children, one boy and one girld, and retire when my son has a successful shinobi career and my daughter is married."

'So first off we have a slacker,' Asuma thought.

"Uchiha, you're up," Asuma said.

Sasuke looked up and said, "My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There aren't many things I like and many things I dislike. My goal…no that isn't the right word because I will make it happen, my destiny is to kill a certain man."

Asuma thought, 'Great we have ourselves an avenger on the team.'

"Uzumaki, you're the last one," Asuma said.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like ramen, training, and studying fire techniques. I dislike the time it takes to cook ramen, people pitying me, and people telling me my limits. My dream is becoming the Hokage and it'll happen no matter what!" Naruto exclaimed proudly.

'And finally the dreamer who doesn't know his limits,' Asuma thought.

"Good first day. Make sure you get some sleep for the test tomorrow," Asuma said as he was walking away.

Sasuke asked, "What test we already did that to get on your team."

Asuma rubbed his chin and said, "Right you guys probably don't know about the test. A Jounin will administer a test of their choosing to see if the Genin are fit for duty. Different Jounin have different tests. Hatake Kakashi has a test that is for teamwork, Yuuhi Kurenai is a newbie Jounin, but she will probably test her teams passion."

"Will you at least tell us what you judge?" Naruto asked.

Asuma seemed to think about this for a little bit and said, "No, there's no fun in that."

Asuma started to walk away when Shikamaru had the last words, "How troublesome."

Author's Note:

Well I thought that was a good place to end it. Once again I sincerely apologize for the lack of chapters. I didn't have any inspiration to write this, but then my inner writer decided to show himself again.
