Naruto was so tired that he could barely walk straight. He did everything he knows, but he still can't make that freaking leaf exercise. Even though his sister showed him the steps, he still didn't get it. And now he need to go to the class to find who he end up in a team. He hopped it will not be Sasuke. Maybe Sakura-chan. She was pretty and smart. He felt his cheek getting warm as he thought of her.
He looked up ahead and saw the Academy. He went through the doors and up to his class.
He sat down on his seat and waited. He saw one of the boys, Nara walking up to him. "What are you doing here Naruto? This is for those who made it through the exams." He said in boring tone.
Naruto grinned and showed his forehead protector. "See this Shikamaru? I'm full ninja now! I'm going to become a Hokage one day! No stupid test can take me down!" He shouted.
"How troublesome." Shikamaru went back to his seat and laid his head onto his arms and fall asleep.
There were shouting in the hallway, he turned and saw Ino and Sakura arguing.
"I was here first Ino!"
"See here my foot was here first so I'm first. Get lost! Forehead!"
"What was that Ino pig!?"
Naruto blushed as he saw his crush enter the room, who in turn looked up at him and he waved his arm "Hi Sakura-chan!" In one swift movement she was here and showing him out of the way. 'Get out of the way Naruto! Sasuke-kun can I sit here?"
Naruto glared at Sasuke who ignored the fan girls. He will show him. One moment latter he was up on the desk and close to Sasuke face, who in turn glared at him.
"What do you want dobe?"
"I don't get what so good about you! You bastard.!" Someone behind Naruto moved and he felt himself falling. Soon his lips come in contract with Sasuke's and he started in horror.
Soon he was on the floor gagging, and being beaten by Sasuke's fan girls. Soon Iruka walked in and told everyone quite down and get to their seats.
Iruka was listing name of team to the class. "Team seven will be of Sasuke Uchiha, Haruno Sakura, and Uzumaki Naruto! Your Sensei will be coming to get you soon. They will call, you up."
Naruto didn't agree to this, so he shouted. "Sensei why do I have to be on the same team as Sasuke?" He pointed at him.
Iruka looked at Naruto. "Because Naruto, Sasuke is a Rookie of the Year. And you had the lowest score in the exams. The team made to balance each other's."
Naruto groaned. This sucks.
Uzumaki Rei was smiling, as she heard the news. She looked at Hokage and he smiled softly at her. "I know that Only Uzumaki can teach Uzumaki, that's why I want you to be his teacher. And since you are here first, and Kakashi is late as always. I want you to teach team seven. But the council wants him Teaching Uchiha kid, so he will be training him also." Rei frowned "I know you and Kakashi not on good terms, but I'll ask you to team up with him." The hokage looked at Rei as she nodded her head.
"I'll do as you ask of me Hokage-sama. I can deal with Kakashi." She bowed before him and left his office.
As Rei walked out of Hokage's office she saw Kurenai standing ahead. Kurenai saw Rei and turned her gaze away from her. Rei frowned, Kurenai was once her best friend, and they used to hang out together in the past. Until Kurenai stopped talking to her and avoiding her. She felt confused and hurt, because she didn't know what she had done to Kurenai that she will hate her so much. After they fall out she started hang up with Anko. Even though Anko and Kurenai are friends. She already had enough drama in her life.
Sure she had changed after Kushina's death. And she didn't talk with some of her friends. She was in pain she was sure they could understand that.
Rei shook her head and walked past Kurenai who in turn gazed at her as she walked by.
"Hello Rei, I heard you're got a team this year." Kurenai said softly, still gazing at Rei back as she stopped walking.
This was the first time since Kurenai first talked to her. She felt hurt by it, "Kurenai. Yes I do. You're as well?" Rei asked without turning her head.
Kurenai hear the cold voice from Rei and couldn't help but flinch. "Yes. Team 8 is mine. Do you mind if I walk with you?" She asked, hoping that she will say yes.
Rei nodded her head as she moved ahead and walking out though the doors. Kurenai run up to catch up to her. She walked besides Rei who still didn't glance even once at her.
They walked in silence, it was an awkward, and both of them didn't know what to do or say to each other.
"How is Naruto?" Kurenai asked her, softly.
Rei looked at Kurenai and said slowly. "He is alright. Loud and stubborn as Uzumaki." She said as she looked up in the sky. It was sunny day and the sun warmed her back as she walked to the Academy.
"I remember you were stubborn as an ox. Never could take 'no' for an answer." Kurenai giggled as she remembered the past.
Rei smiled a little, she could feel the air around them brightens. "I remember you always crushing on Asuma in the past. You almost were like his fan girl." She chuckled as she saw Kurenai grimaced as she frowned.
"I was not a fan girl! I hate fan girls!" She said crossing her arms over her chest, as she glanced at Rei.
"Just like you don't like perverts. I know. You always used your genjutsu on me every time I used to read that book in front of you." Rei smirked at Kurenai.
"Well, that book was not good for your mind! And it's not my fault you not good at genjutsu." Kurenai rolled her eyes, and smiled softly at Rei. They talked on their way to the Academy. Rei relaxed and smiled all the way to the Academy. She felt like she gained her friend back. It was a start. She will have to start fresh. That's okay with her. The walked inside the Academy she could see no one, with means they were the last ones.
"You don't mind of I go first?" Kurenai asked her.
"Be my quest." Rei leaned on the wall and crossed her arms and smiled slightly.
"Thanks. Want to meet up later?" Kurenai asked Rei softly, looking into her blue eyes. Rei nodded her head. "Dango shop? At six?" She asked with Kurenai nodded and went inside the class room.
In few minutes she walked out with her team. Rei raised an eyebrow at Kurenai who sugared her shoulders. She gives a wave to Kurenai and looked at the door to the classroom. Let's make super entrance inside shall we? Rei smirked and few moments later there was fetal of roses in the ground.
