Yo!
So…. again i've been gone a while, but I'm working on it promise!
Anyways, Sasuke's shirt is styled like the one he is wearing when we first see him in Naruto Shippuden but with short sleeves and a sash around his waist.
Anywho please REVIEW!
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were all napping against the trunk of a tree.
Naruto had her head on Sakura's shoulder, and Sasuke had his head on Naruto's shoulder, leaving Sakura to lay propped up against the the tree, Naruto's black jacket rolled up under her head.
Kakashi raised his eyebrow.
This was… unusual.
He cleared his throat and watched as the three genin woke up, all looking startled and sleepy.
Really? He would expect that from Sakura maybe, but Naruto and Sasuke too?
Sighing he moved to where the three stumps and his clock were, the three genin following him sleepily.
He proceeded to give the dramatic speech he had given every genin team he had tested, and got the same results as every other time.
They were staring at each other competitively, daring the others to take the bell from him before they could.
Didn't they take the hint he gave them into account at all?!
After starting the alarm and pulling out his precious icha icha, he stood and waited.
They did as expected, once again, how disappointing.
Sakura and Sasuke both disappeared into the trees, and Naruto tried fighting him head on.
Kakashi was majorly disappointed.
They all did as expected!
Naruto tried doing it all alone, as did Sasuke, while Sakura pretty much sat there watching Sasuke and ignoring Naruto who was right in front of her.
He sighed, at this rate they would fail, there was only about 20 minutes left until noon.
His guard was down completely, these kids had already shown him their skill was nothing special, he felt no need to be on guard as he usually always was, besides, he couldn't sense any other chakra signature.
He didn't realize this was such a big mistake until he heard something snap and he was covered in gooey liquid.
Though he would deny it later, Kakashi freaked.
He immediately dropped his icha icha and started swiping at his eye, he couldn't see! Why couldn't he see!?
Calm down, calm down Hatake, panicking won't help you, jus-!
Kakashi's mental pep talk was interrupted when his feet were suddenly gone from under him and he was laying on his back, freaking out again.
Suddenly both his arms were pinned down and a weight settled on his upper chest.
About to freak out again, Kakashi stilled when he felt the liquid-paint he realized now, being whipped out of his eye.
Once his vision was cleared he found himself staring into three pairs of mischievous eyes.
So that's why he couldn't move his arms, as there were two senbon stuck expertly into pressure points on each arm, effectively immobilizing them, that and Sasuke was sitting on one while Sakura was on the other.
Naruto sat on his chest, a kunai against his throat, grinning toothily.
"Never underestimate your opponent, it'll be the fall of you!"
Kakashi groaned, he should have expected something like this from the daughter of Kushina and Minato, she had Kushina's deviousness and creativity, and Minato's intelligence and charm to pull it off.
He blinked when he noticed the outfits they were wearing.
Sakura and Naruto wore almost matching outfits, both in black shorts and blood red battle kimonos, but were as Naruto's was long sleeved with an orange tinted sash, Sakura's sleeves went to her elbows with a pink tinted sash.
Sasuke was wearing black ANBU styled pants in place of his white shorts , a blood red loose fitted vest that was open slightly at the top, and a blue tinted sash at his waist.
Kakashi would bet there was an Uchiha crest on the back.
"You three weren't wearing those earlier." He proclaimed.
All three smirked as three other figures came into his peripheral vision.
The three looked exactly as his genin team did when he first met them, and when they disappeared in three puffs of smoke he groaned.
Shadow clones, the three genin he had been fighting had simply been chakra enhanced clones from Naruto henged to look like each individual.
He would be a liar to say he wasn't a bit embarrassed, or a lot.
Naruto and Sakura laughed at him while Sasuke smirked.
Naruto then held up the hand not holding a kunai to his throat to present to him the bells.
"None of us are going back to the academy, as we worked as one to get these bells, it's a win for all of us, as we are a team, we are one."
Sasuke and Sakura nodded in agreement with Naruto's statement.
Kakashi nodded, "You all passed, you figured out the lesson of this test, now… can you guys let me up?"
Naruto smirked as she stood up with her teammates and they removed the senbon they had planted in his arms and legs.
He stood, rubbing his sore muscles discreetly as he did.
The now official genin of the new team 7 stood before him now.
Naruto stood in the center, with Sasuke and Sakura on either side of her.
He smiled under his mask, maybe… maybe this would be the team to change everything, maybe. Just maybe.
Sasuke smirked, "kakashi Sensei, maybe you should go wash that paint off, before it stains your skin."
He startled, looking down he had forgotten about the paint!
"Okay my new cute little genin, meet me tomorrow at the red bridge, there we will have our first training session!" He practically shouted before he shunshin away to his home, he needed to get this stuff off!
Once their new Sensei had disappeared all three members of team 7 broke into laughter, that had been hilarious! He actually believed the paint would stain!
Naruto and Sakura high fived Sasuke, that was brilliant!
There little celebration was interrupted when a male ANBU appeared.
"Naruto Uzumaki, the Hokage wishes to see you and your new team."
Naruto sobered up, turning to her teammates who, sensing her newfound seriousness, stopped laughing and stood straight, waiting to find out what was going on.
"Thank you ANBU kun, we will go there now."
The ANBU nodded to her before he disappeared.
Naruto nodded to her teammates, "Let's go."
++++++
The newly formed team 7 now stood in front of the third, waiting for him to speak.
"Naruto, would you like to tell them, or should I?" Hiruzen asked, giving the girl the choice to even tell them or not.
Naruto understood, he was giving her a choice, she could tell them what she had planned to, or a total lie.
However Naruto was not one for running away from her problems… not anymore.
She cleared her throat making her teammates look at her curiously, waiting for her to tell them whatever it was she was going to tell them.
"I… the fourth Hokage didn't kill the Kyuubi, he sealed it inside of a newborn baby. His very own daughter… he sealed it inside of me. I am the jinchuuriki of the nine tailed fox, and the daughter of the fourth Hokage." Naruto closed her eyes, she didn't want to see the hate directed her way. Not from their eyes, she couldn't take it.
"Naruto…" Sasuke voice came, surprisingly gentle and soothing making her open her eyes to look at him, into his own black orbs. "While it is amazing that you are the daughter of the fourth, that, and the kyuubi, being sealed inside of you, it makes no difference, because neither defines you, Naruto Uzumaki. You are still you, no matter what you hold inside of your gut, or the DNA you hold in your blood, you're still you Naruto chan, one of my best friends and nothing will change that."
Hiruzen stared in shock at the Uchiha before him, he'd never heard the boy speak so many words! Had Naruto really had that much of an affect on the boy?!
Naruto's eye filled with unshed tears at Sasuke's rather passionate speech, she turned to Sakura, awaiting her own answer.
Sakura only smiled and said, "I couldn't have said it better myself Naruto chan."
The tears fell as her teammates embraced her.
Hiruzen smiled, things were finally looking up for her, and he couldn't be happier, especially with what was supposed to happen tonight.
About 20 minutes later Sakura and Sasuke had both left to go home while Naruto stayed in the Hokage's office.
"Are you ready Naruto?" Hiruzen asked the girl who looked rather pale.
"Yes, I-I am."
Hiruzen smiled comfortingly at the girl.
"You may go pack up and return here in 1 hour."
Doing as told Naruto nodded before leaving the room and running back to Anko's home, the woman was not there, as she knew she wouldn't be.
Silently, Naruto packed up her things and Hika's.
Once finished she held two duffel bags in each hand, and it was time to return to Jiji's office.
Walking in she was greeted by a woman with feral eyes, elongated canines, and wild brown hair.
She smiled at the woman, and the woman smiled back warmly, the smile making her look less scary.
"Hello Naruto, my name is Tsume Inuzuka, you may call me Tsume." she held her hand out.
Naruto could sense the woman was trying not to scare her, that was why she only held out her hand.
Naruto knew that the Inuzuka clan was very affectionate, mostly from Kiba, but also from reading.
Being so closely related to dogs, the Inuzuka clan inherited many traits from their canine companions, especially their pack philosophy. The Inuzuka loved cuddling, they often hugged and such, and just showed really open and general affection for eachother.
Kiba hugged her all the time when they were younger, but he stopped once he started getting teased for doing so.
The fact that Tsume was holding back her natural instincts to make her feel better was enough for Naruto.
Instead of taking the woman's hand, Naruto stepped forward and hugged the women.
