The next day at the accademy everyone was sitting in class waiting on Iruka to come in. Each person was doing thier own thing. Some were interested in others. Most of the fangirls in class were busy looking at two people. Sasuke and Naruto. Sasuke because he is the last Uchiha and Naruto because he is a mystery and had the whole badass swordsman look about himself. It helped the fact that he was a badass swordsman but no one actually new that. Today his look is different then before. Today he had a black pants and his sword and a black vest unbuttoned with and no shirt undeneath but a blue sash around his waist to cover where the seal was suppose to be. He had a black wrist gaurd on each hand and the seals were still on each hand. Think Vaan from Final Fantasy XII
Sasuke was looking at Naruto from the corner of his eye everytime his fangirls looked away for a second. I would go into his thoughts but since they are a broken record I will only play them once. I must get stronger to kill him, I am an avenger, no one is better then an uchiha, I bet he is weak, cute ass. Ok I need to stop there. Sasuke mental thoughts on Naruto are disturbing after that.
Naruto was sitting in the back of the class and was eying each of the rookie nine. They did not know it though. Why you ask. He had on a pair of black pilot style sunglasses. If you looked at his eyes all you could see was your reflection which made his new fanclub think he was looking at him. Naruto was mentally evaluating each of his friend.
Shikamaru-geneus, lazy, family style jutsu, weak tiajutsu
Choji-powerhouse, food expert, family jutsu, weak genjutsu
Ino-fangirl, family jutsu, weak nin and taijutsu. Nice body, lousy kisser. bisexual
Shino-geneus, family jutsu, weak tiajutsu
Hinata-bloodline, low self asteem, family jutsu, weak ninjutsu. Controllative possesive disorder. Want to control all life. kinky
Kiba-highten sense, family jutsu, weak genjutsu
Sakura-fangirl-weak nin and tiajutsu, multiple personality, great medical if trained, sucks in relationship. Killed myself after I kissed her and saw her naked. Could not even touch her. what the hell did I ever see in her anyways.
Sasuke-traitor must die. psycho, weak in sealless jutsu and other bloodlines. weak genjutsu-sharingan cancells them so if he has them on useless.
Naruto sighed and thought "may have dated those three but never slept with them, thank god. Ino wants a guy who is also bisexual, and is willing to show whole body to get a guy. Hinata wants to chain you up and control everything. She actually tried to tell me when to go to the bathroom. Sakura, it is actually a good thing she has a big forehead. If anyone would have thought to look they would have seen the genjutsu on her body. Her breast never developed and puberty hit her hard elsewhere. To have a monthly twice a month. No wonder she is always in a bad mood. Mentally if I dated any of them agian I would kill myself. Anko was right about me getting to know the women I would like to maybe spend my life with."
Naruto was brought out of his thoughts by Ino who had walked over and said "Hi, Im Ino."
Naruto thought of something and said "Ino, even though I just met you I bet you I can tell you almost everything about you. If I can would you do me one request."
Ino was blushing and said "Anything."
Naruto said "You work in a flowershop love lilacs, likes Sasuke but you also like girls, Want to find a guy who would also like girls and guys and hopes to embarress your parents by changing you family business into a Icha Icha store and has the entire collection in you closet under the floorboards. Am I right on most of it."
Everyone in the class was looking at them and Ino was red with embarrasment. Naruto decided to cut her some slack and said "If I am right on at least one thing then I also know things about others like that. If so I have a list for you that you should use to find a true soul mate. My request is that you go down this list and date all 5 names at least once and make it a real date, you cant say no to dating them based on age, weight, or looks, and you can not say the name Sasuke once on them or compare the date to Sasuke. Deal. I promise you that one of these is your soulmate" holding out a list folded over.
Ino looked at it and then at Naruto and then the list and then at Sasuke and said "Deal." grabbing the list.
Naruto grabbed her arm and said "Remember you have to give each person a real chance. I will know if you dont and since I can garuntee I will be on a team with Sasuke I will tell him on you if you break your word. If you really like him then you dont want him thinking your a liar." and released her making her walk over and sit down.
Shikamaru said "That was troublesome. You set her in a perfect trap and never met her before. I bet you even set her up with the biggest losers there are. Its so troublesome."
Ino walked over and said in a stuttering voice "Shikamaru, I was wondering, would you go with me tonight on a date."
Shikamarus eyes got as big as a silver dollar and then returned to being lazy and he looked at Naruto and said "I would hate you but it is to troublesome to actually think of getting revenge. Yes Ino I will, pick you up at 6."
Sakura had her mouth hanging open and said "Take that Inopig, love concurs all."
A vein appeared on Narutos head and said "Quit trying to make yourself look good Sakura. Inner Sakura will hound you if you about not having a date later."
Ino looked at Naruto wondering what he meant. Sakura was pale and sat down leaving everyone to wonder what he was talking about.
Naruto sighed and said "Hey Kiba, do me a favor."
Kiba looked at him and said "Why should I do you a favor and how do you know our names and so much about Ino."
Naruto said "Simple actually, I heard all of your names yesterday durring the testing, I know so much about Ino because I heard her family business in town, as for anything else I know about her that may or maynot be true is I can read people like a book. As for why you should do me a favor, I will owe you one later. After all, only thing I was going to ask you to do was deliver a scroll to your team sensie. I was told to give it to her on my way here but I was to busy."
Shikamaru said "How do you know what teams we are going to be on and who are sensies are."
Naruto said "Information gathering is important for a ninja, but truthfully I saw the list earlier when I was at the hokages office finalizing my ninja status and getting my picture taken for the records."
Shikamaru said "Troublesome. I thought I was the only one who saw that list."
Kiba said "Fine, I will deliver this scroll for you. Who was it from anyways."
Naruto said "All I remember about the guy was his last name started with a K. He said it was an appology for something and he did not know if he would get a chance to tell her face to face, and did not want to have hard feelings if he did not see her agian."
Kiba said "Alright. I want to call in that favor now anyways."
Naruto said "Alright."
Kiba said "Since we know nothing about you tell us about yourself."
Naruto said "Fair enough. My name is Naruto, I am the same age as all of you, I am a sealmaster and have lived and trained on the outside of Konoha since I was 5 years old. I am engaged to one woman though I have not met her yet and I am one of the last of my clan."
Shikamaru said "I never heard of a clan called Uzumaki before."
Naruto said "That is not my real name. It was changed to protect me until I was strong enough to claim my real name. I will not tell you what it is know but I will tell you it is one of the founding clans of Konoha. Well Irukas here so lets meet our teams. Favors filled Kiba, thanks." and leaned back proping his feet up on the desk and waited.
Iruka walked in and said "Ok, I want to congradulate all of you..."
Naruto raised his hand and Iruka said "yes, what is it Naruto."
Naruto said "Where is Mizuki sensie, I was sure he would be here today."
Iruka said "Mizuki is no longer with us. He was caught breaking into the Hokages office last night. Apparently he was going to defect from the village."
Naruto smirked to himself at that. Iruka sighed and said "As I was saying, the life of a ninja is not an easy one. You will face many trials and some of you may not be ready for what is to come. Anyways good luck the teams are as follow... Team 7 Sasuke, Sakura, and..." Sakura jumped up to say something but was stopped.
Naruto said "Sakura stop insulting others. We need to work on our teamwork."
Sakura shot him a glare and said "I bet we are not even on the same team."
Naruto said "Team 7 Sasuke, Sakura and me under Sharingan Kakashi, Team 8 is Kiba, Shino and Hinata under Genjutsu Mistress Kurenai, Team 10 is Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji under Knight of the Firelord Asuma. Am I right Iruka sensie."
Iruka looked at the list and said "Yes but how."
Naruto said "Like I told everyone earlier, I saw the list when I was getting my ninja status finalized and had my picture taken."
Iruka said "Yes well I may not like the fact that Naruto and Sakura interupted me but Naruto did finish my duties for me and also Sakura, I would have to say he also had a good point. You do need teamwork so dont insult others who might be on your team. Well one last time I would like to say goodluck. Your sensies will be here shortly."
Iruka turned to leave but Naruto yelled "Iruka. I have something for you." and tossed a scroll which Iruka caught and he said "What is it."
Naruto said "I notice when I was walking through the village last night that you had a bunch of paperwork needing to be filled out. Thats a jutsu that helps with paperwork. It has other things it can do but read the whole discription and you will understand."
Iruka nodded and opened it and read it with a big smile on his face and said "That will save me alot of time on paperwork. Thanks Naruto. Where did you learn it."
Naruto said "I got it from one of my fathers scrolls he left me and though it takes alot of chakra it will at least cut your paperwork time in half. Leaf ninja have to look out for one another. Right. If we did not then we would be no better then monsters and demons. After all, being kind is part of being human."
Iruka paled for a second then smiled and said "I was right Naruto, you are a good person. Thanks." and walked out the room.
Sasuke said "What was that jutsu you gave him. Dobe."
Naruto said "I am not a Dobe, I am equal in status as you and anyone else in this room. We are all leaf ninja now. All equal in ranks as gennin. It does not matter what clan we are or who we are related to or what our last name is. In both battle and everyday life we need to look out for each other. We are family in that since. As for what jutsu that is its Kagebunshin."
Shikamaru said "You do know thats a jounin technique right."
Naruto said "yes I know but its only that because of the chakra you need to use it. If you used it unwisely it could kill you. However just making one or two and not using it in battle should be safe for a chunnin and each time he uses it will make it easier the next time."
Sasuke said "I dont need help. I am stronger then all of you anyways."
Naruto said "Then if me and anyone in this room got together you could defeat us."
Sasuke said "Easily."
Naruto said "Who do you think is the weakest person here Sasuke."
Sasuke said "Probably you."
Naruto said "Pick someone to team up with me and I bet we could be you in less then a minute."
Sasuke smirked and said "Choji."
Naruto smirked and said "Who has a watch."
Kiba said "I do."
Naruto said "You time us and tell us to begin. Choji come here."
Choji got up and came to Naruto and Naruto said "Relax, we can beat him easily with teamwork. I want you to take a kunia and charge him. Dont worry about hitting him or anything. I will do the rest. Teamwork is the key to victory."
Choji just nodded and looked at kiba and said "Ready."
Naruto also just shook his head and Sasuke got into a fighting stance and said "Bring it."
Kiba said "Begin." and Choji pulled out a kunia and charged Sasuke. Sasuke smirked and started to form handseals only for something to grab his leg. He tried to move but could not and had to pull out a kunia to block Choji strike. He was still not able to move his legs or see what was holding him while defending himself. Suddenly he felt a kunia on his neck.
Naruto said "Time."
Kiba looked at the watch and said "29 seconds."
Naruto said "Good job Choji. Teamwork can almost always stop a single enemy." and started to walk toward his seat.
Sasuke looked down and did not see anything holding him and said "How did you hold me in place."
Naruto said "I had a Kagebunshin hold you and since you could not stop defending against Choji to look and destroy the Kagebunshin I simply walked around you and applied the finish to end the match."
Sakura said "You used ninjutsu to beat him. Thats cheating."
Naruto said "We are ninja Sakura, we use everything we can to win. As for using ninjutsu what do you think the handseals he was doing would have been. A enemy will not always allow you to form handseals so you have to know other things to win. If you notice I never used a handsign. Its not because its a sealless jutsu. Its because I have mastered it to a point were I dont need the seals. Look underneath the underneath Sakura. If that would have been an actual battle Sasuke would be dead and we would have cut his eyes out and sold them to another village."
Everyone was stunned and Sakura said "You would do that."
Naruto said "If I was an enemy then yes. You can ask Hinata up there about it. The cloud village already tried to do that when she was 4 years old. An enemy does not care who you are or where you were in the class weather you are the rookie of the year or the dead last. All they care about is killing you and completing thier mission to get paid. All any of our lives is worth is how much someone is willing to pay to kill us. Remember that." and he sat down.
Clapping could be heard and everyone turned and saw a woman with red eyes and a man smoking a cigerette and the man said "Hes right about everything he said. My name is Asuma and this is Kurenai. Team 8 and 10 come on." and he started to leave.
Both teams got up to leave and Naruto said "Kiba, dont forget the favor."
Kiba said "I wont but we are going to have to spar sometime."
Naruto said "Sure. Goodluck." as they walked out.
Finally it was only team 7. Naruto sighed and created 10 kagebunshin and had them start running up and down the walls. Sakura and Sasuke saw this and were in awe.
Sakura said "Why and how are you doing that Naruto."
Naruto said "Anything a Kagebunshin learns so does the original when dispelled. Kakashi is always late so I decided to do some chakra control excersice. This one is based on tree climbing."
Sasuke said "Everyone knows how to climb trees dobe."
Sakura said "I already have perfect chakra control."
Naruto threw 2 kunias into the wall and walked up the wall and walked around the two kunias and started standing on them with his index finger while he was doing pushups with his legs in an indian style upside down. The two sweatdropped as he did this with his eyes closed.
Sasuke began brooding and Sakura tried to get him to give her a date. He ignored her and She would shoot glances at Naruto who was still doing his excersice.
Meanwhile Kiba was following his team and team 10 out of the building when he said "Kurenai sensie. I was ask to give this to you." holding up the scroll.
Everyone stopped and Kurenai got it and said "What is this Kiba."
Kiba said "I really dont know myself. Naruto said he was asked to give that to you from someone who had the last name starting with K and it was an appology or something. He said he saw where are teams were divided up and asked me to deliver it since he did not think he would be able to."
Kurenai shot a look at Asuma who just shruged his shoulders. Kurenai sighed and open the scroll and when she did a box of chocolates and 2 dozen jasmines with a blue fox holding a card. Kurenai blushed and open the card and read it.
Sensiehime
I wish to appologise for embarrasing you in the Hokages office last night. Even though I may have had a life with you before it is not always the same. Each event in life depicts who and what we are. I may only know you a day of 100s of lifetimes but I will never know everything about you. I am sorry if I overstepped my bounds and I hope we can still have a relationship. Weather it is as coworkers, friends or whatever I will respect you wishes.
Sincerly yours Kazama.
Kurenai blushed as she read it and smelled the flowers and said "Kiba, thank you for delivering this for me and I will also thank Naruto when I get a chance. We have other things to worry about now."
Asuma said "From your friend from last night."
Kurenai nodded and said "Yes, I must thank him personally."
Asuma nodded and said "Anko figure out where he lives yet."
Kurenai said "You heard any explosions yet."
Asuma said "I take that as a no. Maybe I should talk to him."
Kurenai said "You will do no such thing."
Asuma said "But, what about us."
Kurenai said "Right now there is no us. And there is no me and him either. I am not saying there wont be but I want to know him some first. Jelosy does not suit you Asuma."
Asuma said "He is what 8 years younger then him."
Kurenai said "I am 4 years younger then you and I am old enough to make a decision about this myself. Besides, age does not really count in his case. Besides, his eyes are my favorite color."
Asuma sighed and said "I guess your right. Just promise me to take it slowly."
Kurenai said "Asuma, I did not know you cared."
Asuma said "Women. Cant live with them and cant take a kunia away from them."
Kiba said "Who are you both talking about."
Asuma said "Probably the strongest ninja in the village."
Ino said "The Hokage."
Kurenai said "No, not him. Anyways lets get our team meetings out of the way and get the testing done also."
Everyone looked confused as they broke into individaul teams.
Back with team 7 Naruto sneezes.
Sakura looks at the clock on the wall and said "How late is this Kakashi going to be."
Naruto said "How long has it been so far." still with his eyes closed doing his excersice.
Sakura said "2 hours why."
Naruto said "About another hour."
Sasuke said "How do you know this Kakashi."
Naruto said "When I found out who were on which teams I learned everything I could about them. Kakashi is quite famous."\
Sasuke said "Whe did you call him Sharingan Kakashi."
Naruto said "He has a Sharingan in one of his eyes and no he is not an Uchiha. It was implaneted after he lost his eye. I dont know how or from who but he has one. He is said to have copied over 1000 jutsu. We could only hope he teaches us some of them." however naruto was thinging "I will actually be suprised if he knows 1 that I dont besides chidori."
Sasuke just hmpd. Naruto sighed and said "Sakura, why did you become a ninja."
Sakura said "For someone who seems to know everything you dont know that."
Naruto said "Im sorry, I was trying to be friendly and a teammate. You became a ninja to impress Sasuke and defeat your rival Ino who was going to be a ninja. You are the first female in your family to ever be a ninja and you believe that Sasuke will save you from any enemies that attack us. Answer me this Sakura. We get attacked by 20 enemies. I am fighting 5 ninja, kakashi is fighing 5 ninja, Sasuke is fighting 5 ninja who are at least chunnin or higher in rank. Who is going to fight the last 5 enemies."
Sakura said "That wont happen until we get stronger so I dont have to worry about that."
Naruto said "In the past 10 years over 60 gennin have died thinking the same thing Sakura. Are you sure you want to bet your life on that belief or would you rather take the time to actually try and improve your skills. You might even be able to show Sasuke you are stronger then he thinks you are and then he might date you." not showing any emotions though he hated using a girls lust for the traitor.
Sakura sat quitely thinking what Naruto had just said.
Naruto was quite for a moment and said "What the hell." and jumped off the wall landing on his feet and looking at the door.
Both Sasuke and Sakura looked at him and Sakura said "What."
Naruto said "Hes early." and just then the door open and Kakashi walked in.
Naruto said "Your not late."
Kakashi smiled and Sakura said "Yes he is. Hes two hours late."
Naruto looked at her and said "Nevermind. So what are your first impressions of us." walking to the wall taking out the two kunias.
Kakashi smiled and said "My first impression is. I hate you." smiling behind his mask.
Kakashi said "meet on the roof." and dissapeared in a swirl of leaves.
Naruto dissapeared in a swirl of flames leaving Sasuke and Sakura confused.
When Naruto got up there he said "Whats the deal Kakashi. Your never early unless someone threatens you."
Kakashi said "Leave a kagebunshin and go see the Hokage."
Naruto nodded and created one and left to the Hokage office.
