Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Ok I have gone back to reread the previous chapters and found several missing words and misspelling so, at one point I will be going back to fix them but it will take a bit


Chapter 12: Team 7 established

Naruto was waking up from his pillow and looking out the window to realize that the sun hasn't even come up yet. He lifted his paw to move one of his flowers to reveal the clock and saw that it was 4:45 'why did I have to stay awake so late? I didn't even get to sleep until 1 mmmmm'. He wanted to just go to sleep but he knew that if he did, he would not get up in time for the exam, so he got up and walked to the door. Making sure not to fall through the door again, he opened it and dropped down to his unused bedroom. He mad his way to the shower and sat on his haunches letting the cold water wake him up as he thought about what Kurama told him last night as he slept

Flashback

"Kit, I need to talk to you about your henge"

Hearing his tou-chan, Naruto looked up from his patch of grass with a confused look "what about it tou-chan?"

Kurama looked down on Naruto and brought up the issue "your won't be able to rely on it to hide yourself anymore"

Naruto was stunned "what do you mean I can't rely on it? I mastered the jutsu! I can use it without hand signs anymore, and yeah I still need to think about what to turn into but I can still use it!"

Kurama lifted his paw and tapped Naruto on the head with his finger, just hard enough to cause Naruto to hold his head in a bit of pain "it is still usable but it won't last. It is easily dispelled after a small tap or do you not remember the Inuzuka woman hitting you on the head gently to remove it" Kurama said with a smirk

Naruto just grumbled with a small bush at the embarrassing moment "fine but what can I do?"

"I have an idea on how we can get around this, but I don't think we have the time for it right now, so I will be reinforce your henge a bit with my own chakra"

Tilting his head he sat up and looked at Kurama "how will that reinforce them?"

"Your chakra is already far denser than a ningen's chakra but you still lack the control to do what I will do for you. I will be flowing some of my chakra into the henge keeping the flow to the henge stable so they don't dispel so quickly and it would need a very hard hit or knocking you out before it dispels as long as you maintain your focus on it"

Naruto didn't really understand how it would work but just nodded while scratching his head "ok, I think I get it but what is the other way that you were talking about?"

Kurama just shook his head "don't worry about it, we will work on it at a later date but for now get some sleep, I'm sure you will be tired in the morning since you decided to stay awake planning your prank"

Naruto yawned and layed down and closed his eyes "I just want to make sure that I get it righhh….". Naruto had fallen asleep and Kurama just smiled and layed down next to him

Flashback end

Naruto had finished his shower and spent some time trying to get his fur to flatten. After he was satisfied, he henged, got dressed, grabbed his equipment and left his apartment, heading to the training grounds


~Training grounds 7 5:40~

Naruto had arrived at the training grounds first and just chose to wait under a tree. As he sat there he looked around, in the center of the wide open field were 3 wooden posts, behind them was a river with mountains in the background on all other sides of the posts were wide forests with a dirt pathway leading to the village. Naruto wanted to take a nap but he heard footsteps coming to the grounds and turning his head he saw that it was Sasuke with Sakura followed behind and Naruto could hear her still asking for a date. Reaching into his pocket he put in the earplugs and just waited.

After Sasuke and Sakura arrived they noticed their blonde teammate sitting against a tree.

Sasuke just gave a "hm" and walked to the other side of the field and waited. Sakura just followed and sat next to him still talking to the Uchiha


~Meanwhile with Kakashi and the Hokage~

The Hokage and Kakashi were visiting the living areas of the 3 kids and their last stop was Naruto's apartment "so far, Sakura and Sasuke seem to be just as expected based on what I learned yesterday but I don't know what to expect from Naruto. I never expected his answers to be so straightforward and I never thought I would have him as a potential student".

The hokage chuckled when hearing this "in the world we live in, you should be ready for anything, even if it's something like taking a student like him"

They both had made it in front of the apartment door as Sarutobi made a note of the condition of the building. As they entered the apartment they made note of the small mess of a few ramen cups on the counter and some unwashed dishes. Kakashi examined the dining room making notes of the small things and made his way to through Naruto's bathroom. He paused when he saw, what looked to be pet bathing products 'Naruto must have a pet somewhere'. As the 2 made it into Naruto's bedroom, Kakashi had noticed a few things. He looked to the bed an noticed that the bed looked like it was onced used but no longer had an impression on it signifying that it hasn't been slept in, in awhile. He also noticed that there were plants and flowers placed here and there and giving the room a bit of a natures smell, but what really caught his attention was a small rope dangling in the middle of the room with what looked like a piece of the ceiling on the end, looking up he could make the very subtle signs of a ceiling door 'he must have forgotten to hide the rope this morning, since the ceiling piece on the tip shows that it would be a hidden area'.

Hiruzen was confused because he knew that there shouldn't be an attic in the apartment. Walking up to the rope, he gently pulled on it to reveal the door swing down. Kakashi lept up to hang on the ledge and would have climbed up if there was room but he noticed that he wouldn't even be able to crawl well in there let alone stand so he just peered into the new area and saw a good amount of plants and flowers and a sleeping area next to the window in the ceiling of the area. After he fell back next to the Hokage and told him what he saw.

Hiruzen just nodded as he thought ' I should ask Naruto about that little area but for now I will leave him be'

Kakashi began to speak to the Hokage "this one is the more unpredictable one out of the 3, he gardens, he has a bed that looks like it's more for show now, he has a secret sleeping area surrounded by plants and appears to have pet products in his bathroom"

"Hmm, he has been unpredictable all his life but he is determined, headstrong and …...random. He reminds me so much of his mother in that respect." HIruzen said while rubbing his chin

After they finished their inspection of the apartment, they left and began speaking about the 3 genins as they walked through the streets. "The 3 of them are so different from each other, very very little in common and from how they interacted, they will never get along, they might work together if it comes to it but it will be extremely strained" kakashi said in a dull tone while walking with his hands in his pockets

Hiruzen could understand what Kakashi was saying, and deep down he thought that this was a bad team up with the Uchiha's personality being what Naruto would want nothing to so with. He hated that the council brought up such a good point on having Kakashi being his teacher to help with his Sharingan and how the deadlast would be team up with the rookie of the year. He almost killed the civilian council when they said that the Uchiha would be able to rein in the "demon brat". He kept asking himself why he allowed the civilian council to keep existing, but knew that the civilian part of the village needed a voice for their concerns but they keep going out of bounds when it they don't like something.

"Kakashi-san I understand your concerns but it has been set this way and I am hoping you will be able to change them a bit. Hopefully they will pass the genins test and you can start on that, speaking of which when did you tell them to meet you?"

In a bored tone he answered "6"

Hiruzen paused when he heard this and gave Kakashi a stern look "Kakashi-san…. it is 8"

Turning to the Hokage, Kakashi just gave a nonchalant "oh really?"

"Kakashi-san….one of these days you might regret being late. Now get to your team!"


~back with the 3 genin~

Naruto was trying his hardest not to hit Sakura. She had been ranting for the last 20 minutes and although he had his earplugs, he could still hear her and it was still causing his ears the sting a bit 'that's it! I'm going to find out who it was that gave me this team and I am going to find something that Kakashi-sensei can't stand and I'm going to use it when pranking him!'

After he made this thought he got up on his feet and decided to at least get some practice with his kage bunshin and get it where he can do it without hand signs but just as fast. After 10 seconds a clone popped up next to him without using a hand sign and than popped out of existence. After another 10 seconds another popped up and so he kept trying to make it faster before he started attempting making more just as fast. He was able to get this fast after practicing a lot and he had learned that when he made his first clones (after the seal was removed) they came out as his fox form, so after practicing, he made it so the clone would automatically use a henge before the smoke dissipated. Needless to say he grew tired after a few hours of doing this.

After hearing the pop, Sasuke and Sakura looked towards the blonde and saw him making a clone before it popped away "hey Dobe what are you doing?"

Naruto had not heard him and kept up his practice. Sakura was not happy that "her Sasuke-kun" was being ignored "HEY NARUTO-BAKA DON'T IGNORE SASUKE-KUN" she yelled out breaking Naruto's concentration

Naruto jumped when he heard the yelling, turning to the other 2, he saw that Sasuke was talking while wiggling his finger in his ear. Pulling out his earplugs and shaking his head a bit he asked with some irritation "what is it now? I was in the middle of something"

Sasuke got the ringing in his ear to stop and asked his question again "what was it that you are doing Dobe?"

Naruto really wanted to punch him in the face but decided to be nice, as much as his patience allowed him "I was practicing my jutsu, so I could do it faster"

Sakura was confused and asked "but you weren't doing any hand signs, how can you do any jutsu without hand signs?" in a softer tone thankfully

Naruto couldn't believe it. The smartest kunoichi didn't know this? Now granted he wasn't really book smart but Anko got him a book that talked about improving your skills that he skimmed and he had practiced his henge and Kawarimi when he learned them trying to make them better or easier to use. One of the only things that he learned was that you can do jutsu faster and easier if you practice them and that certain jutsus can be done without hand signs so he tried the henge and Kawarimi and they worked, and the days before team assignments were spent doing it with the Kage Bunshin which was a lot harder when doing it with a henge

"I read from a book given to me as a gift that some jutsu can be done that way" he said with a sigh knowing that he won't be able to practice now

Sasuke got up from where he was and walked up to the blonde "Dobe tell me how to do it and give me the book that told you this!"

And that just gave Naruto the reason he needed to punch him in the face. After the fist launched Sasuke 10 feet away, Naruto just glared at the Uchiha "how's that for an answer! You want to learn it?! Then go find your own book teme! The book was a gift to me and I hold it dear since I rarely get any gifts, so fuck off!" and with that Naruto leaped into the trees and sat in a tree a good distance away but he could still see the open area '2 months of pranks to whoever put me here!' he thought as his eyes became slitted


~1 hour later, 9 AM~

Kakashi made it to the training grounds with a "yo"

Sakura was not pleased "Your late!" she yelled but not as loud as usual

Kakashi gave his signature eyes smile "sorry about that, I got lost on the road of life". After he gave his excuse he looked at the 2 in front of him and wondered where the 3rd was "um….where's Naruto?" only to be hit on the back of the head with a water balloon. Turning his head to see who did it he saw Naruto standing there and was shocked to see his eyes: his blue slitted eyes. But he calmed down a bit when he saw them go back to normal

Naruto calmed down after the water balloon hitting its target but still made a mental note 'I will mentally scar this man for the remaining bit of his life but I will wait for that'. "Can we get this test over with."

Kakashi knew he would have to keep an eye on him but decided to get the test started and walked to the 3 posts, placed an alarm clock and pulled out 2 bells "ok guys, the test will be trying to get a bell for yourself" he said as he held them in front of him

Sakura was confused when she saw the 2 bells "but there are 3 of us and only 2 bells, so what happens to the one that doesnt get one?"

Kakashi smirked under his mask "the one that doesn't get a bell will go back to the academy" and then eye smiled

Each of them had their own thoughts when they heard this

'If I get both of them I can get rid of the other 2 losers' Sasuke thought

'If I get them and give one to Sasuke-kun, he and I will be all alone and leave Naruto-baka behind' thought Sakura as she began to day dream of the 2 of them alone

'I would rather not deal with these 2 so I guess I know one way to get away from them' thought Naruto with a sigh

Kakashi seeing the 3 in their own thoughts he brought them back to him "you have until noon to get the bells after that one of you will be punished and I will let you guys try again after you have eaten lunch" at this he heard 2 stomachs growl. Seeing that they came from Sasuke and Sakura he turned to Naruto "didn't I tell you not to eat breakfast?"

Naruto just looked at him "I didn't eat anything this morning". What he didn't say was that he didn't really need to eat anymore now that most of his body was made up of chakra, he just eats cause he enjoys eating and when he does eat the food is converted into chakra to restore some of his reserves

Kakashi didn't think much of it and just accepted it and attached the bells to his belt "ok than, make sure that you come at me with the intention to kill". All three got ready "aaannnnd…..start" and with that all 3 leapt into the trees and hid themselves.

Looking around, Kakashi made note that Sasuke and Sakura had hid fairly well "well they at least know the basics ….but…." looking around he tried to find Naruto "where did he go? I can't seem to sense his presence anywhere….did he leave?". He didn't think that Naruto would leave since the boy didn't seem the type to abandon something especially if it would help him in his goal so he just stood there and waited for any sign of movement.


~1 hour 30 minutes later~

Kakashi just stood there, wondering who would crack first after lying in wait for all that time and he wasn't disappointed to see exactly the one he was waiting for "so, you are the first one to break huh?"

Naruto stood in front of Kakashi with a serious determined look on his face "trust me Kakashi-sensei!" he said as he lowered himself, legs spread wide, knees bent and both hands crossed in front of his face with his fingers curled to form a clawed hand formation facing forward "if you underestimate me ….you will find yourself on the ground"

Kakashi raised an eyebrow seeing the form Naruto was using, at first he thought it was an Inuzuka form but all Inuzuka forms had their hands on the ground as well. This form was obviously an animalistic defensive stance but he didn't know where the boy learned it. 'I might have to ask where he learned it but for now….'

Naruto tensed a bit when he saw Kakashi reach behind him into his weapons pouch, thinking he would pull out a shuriken or kunai he was surprised that he pulled out a little orange book with title "Icha Icha Paradise". "Ok kid come at me whenever you want". After a few seconds Naruto realised that he was being underestimated by a big amount and he felt his anger rising 'he thinks that he can beat me that easily! Lets see what he thinks after this'. His eyes became slitted and he felt that he needed to focus or his henge would falter so he took a deep breath but his eyes remained. "Just to let you know Kakashi-sensei! You have already lost!"

Naruto launched himself to Kakashi, running on all fours at speed much faster than any genin should have. Kakashi just stood there still reading but on closer inspection his eyebrow had twitched 'he's fast! Much faster than even a chunin, this should be interesting'

As Naruto made it to Kakashi, he leapt into the air sending a flying roundhouse kick to the man's head which Kakashi crouched under. Naruto didn't stop, when his feet hit the ground he made a quick turn to throw an opening swipe with both of his hands as claws aiming for the back of the man's legs but Kakashi just leapt up. Naruto knowing it's hard to dodge in the air, pushed his legs aiming a headbutt to Kakashi's back at close range.

Kakashi pulled out his free hand that was in his pocket and grabbed Naruto's head, and swung the boy around to toss him in front of him. Naruto went back into the attack and threw a flurry of clawed strikes aimed for his head, neck, stomach, elbow joints and leg joints. Grabbing one of the strikes by the wrist he twisted it to hold the arm behind the boy and kicked Naruto away. He lifted his eye from the book and saw that Naruto rolled on the ground to stand on all fours "tell me, who taught you this fighting style? I first thought it was an Inuzuka style but it's more flexible and with sharper movements aiming for vital points where as the Inuzuka style is more for speed and strength where their strikes are aiming more for a beat down, but yours seems like an animal aiming for points to weaken before you go for the kill" he said before whispered "…..like hunting"

Naruto had heard the last part but made no reaction "no one, I taught myself this fighting style since the one taught at the academy was uncomfortable for me and I could never get the stance right and I'm pretty sure that the instructors kept showing me wrong anyway. I don't have a name for this style yet and I'm still trying to work some things out"

Kakashi was impressed that the kid made up a fighting style like that. "I must say that I am impressed a style like that but I don't think that it fits you". Naruto was confused at this "why the hell wouldn't this style work for me when I made it?!". Kakashi elaborated "well the style is impressive but your movements are a bit too stiff and seems more like it's meant more for Inuzuka who have claws for styles like this but you don't have that going for you" he said as he turned a page

Hearing this Naruto got up from all fours and started to take off his sandals, much to the one eyed shinobi's confusion


Sakura and Sasuke were both watching the whole thing from different sides of the field and couldn't believe what they saw. The deadlast of their class moved faster than they ever saw him go and using a taijutsu style he never used in the academy taijutsu matches

Sakura was shell shocked 'I could barely keep track of any of their movements. I don't think I will be able to handle fighting that…..but I'm sure Sasuke-kun could beat it' she thought while for Inner Sakura gave her thoughts 'CHA! There's no way Sasuke-kun would lose!'

Meanwhile Sasuke was fuming 'How the hell did the Dobe learn that style!? I should be the one with that style! not him! How did he get that strong?...hmm it might just be a fluke'


Naruto had finally taken off his sandals and put them to the side. Kakashi couldn't figure out what the point of doing something like that but just waited. He got his answer when he saw Naruto lifted his heel and stood on his toes and dropped to all fours with his heel still lifted and then launched himself a bit faster than before 'oh boy….'. Kakashi had to dodge at a faster pace and could see that some of the movements flowed easier than before, he even felt his finger tip slide a bit of his neck. 'Time to start the lesson'

Kakashi jumped away from Naruto and put his book away "lesson 1: taijutsu". With a quick jolt of speed Kakashi was on Naruto and sent him flying towards the river a bit with a kick to the head

Naruto flipped himself in the air and tried to land on his feet but the speed he was going forced him to roll a bit before he was back up on all four. Shaking his head, he looked to where Kakashi was supposed to be but couldn't see him.

"Leaf Village Secret art: One Thousand Years of Death" Naruto heard this from behind and quickly turned his head to see Kakashi with his fingers flying towards his ass. On pure sheer instinct he used the Kawarimi to replace himself before it made impact and he replaced himself with….Sakura.

"AAAAAAAaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh" the scream was heard throughout the village

Sakura was launched into the air holding her ass in pain and ungracefully fell to the ground still holding it with anime tears flowing from her eyes "I can't marry Sasuke-kun anymore….wwwaaaaahhhh"

Kakashi was still in his crouched position with his fingers still together in the air blinking at what just happened 'impressive use of the Kawarimi'. Thinking he should just move on the next lesson, and seeing his original target he just walked up to the fallen girl and stood in front of her "lesson 2: genjutsu" and Sakura was placed under a genjutsu where she saw Sasuke wounded and close to death and for the second time that day the village heard the scream of the Kunoichi.

As Kakashi turned around he saw Sasuke making an attempt when he was distracted in doing the genjutsu. His eyes widened when he saw Sasuke going through the hand signs for a fire Jutsu ' he shouldn't have the chakra for that'

Finishing the hand signs he yelled "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu" and released a giant fireball towards Kakashi

Kakashi saw this coming and turned towards the Pink haired girl behind him only to see Naruto jumping down to pick the girl up and jump away 'well done Naruto'

Sasuke saw that the fireball made contact to Kakashi and smirked thinking he had beaten him.

As Sasuke walked to the small crater the fireball made he heard a voice "Lesson 3: Ninjutsu". Sasuke looked around to find the owner of the voice but heard it more "Doton: Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu". Sasuke saw a pair of hands grab his ankle before he was brought down into the ground, buried chin deep. Sasuke struggled trying to get out of the dirt as he saw Kakashi stand over him "well Sasuke-kun that was a fast fight, though it was an impressive fireball" 'though you need to work on your aim!'

Sasuke looked at the burning ashes in the crater and saw that it was a log that was hit and turning to ash 'grrr damn it! I can't get out! Damn him'

As Kakashi saw the struggling Uchiha he was about to leave to see if he could find Naruto and Sakura but stopped when he saw Sasuke stop struggling and looked at him with a smile, a smile that doesn't belong to him. And then he poof into smoke. Kakashi stood there for a second before he realized 'that it must have been Naruto who henged into Sasuke and replaced himself with Sasuke. Clever'

Kakashi looked to the clock to see that there were 45 minutes were left 'hmm plenty of time for them to try something but to his surprise, all 3 of them walked up to him. He looked at them and noticed some things, Naruto still looked determined but had a confident smirk, Sasuke was covered in dirt and looked like he was about to kill the blonde and Sakura was still holding her ass in pain and shuffling more than walking "well this is unexpected. Are you guys going to try again?"

Naruto just shook his head as he pulled something out of his pocket. Lifting his fist in front of him with the palm down, he opened his hand and let the bells dangle while being held by his index finger and thumb. Kakashi's eye widened as he put his hand on his belt to fee a pair of bells still there but after pulling them off and looked at them they both poofed away. Kakashi looked back at Naruto and saw a smirk on his face as he tossed them into the air and caught them again.

Kakashi was surprised by this and just shook his head a bit "well done Naruto, you were able to get the bells but when did you get them and how?"

Naruto's smirk grew more "well….it could be when you were standing in the field, it could be when we fought, it could be when you were focused on the fireball, heck it could be now" Naruto's smirk turned into his foxy grin "but it was the second you said "start""

Kakashi thought back to the start of the test but realized NAruto didn't do anything except jump into the forest and then he thought about his fight with Naruto and remembered something he said "Just to let you know Kakashi-sensei! You have already lost!". '...but how?'

Naruto just smiled "I will keep it a secret for now sensei" 'take that! A bit of payback for being late. So focused on use at the start didn't even realise that my clones in the forest swapped places with the bells'

Kakashi figure he would find out later so he went on "ok Naruto-kun who are you going to give the other bell to"

Naruto looked at the bells for a second and nodded his head.

Sasuke thought that he would get one because he was Naruto's better and it made the most logical sense

Sakura was not sure about it but just looked at Naruto

Naruto put one bell in each hand and tossed them behind him to Sasuke and Sakura "both of them" he said with a smile

Kakashi was stunned at this and widened his eye 'did he figure out the meaning of this test?' Kakashi thought not knowing the real reason for the choice

Naruto held his smile as he thought 'with these 2 becoming genin and I get the chance to go back into the academy, I can handle that now that these 2 won't be around'

Kakashi just eye smiled started "well I just have one last thing to say to you….YOU ALL PASS"

All 3 of the genin stood there in shock trying to figure what they just heard "WHAT!" was screamed by the pink haired girl but the sudden movement caused her to collapse with her butt in the air wincing from the pain and Naruto was on the ground holding his ears

Kakashi waited for the 2 to get back up and explained that the purpose of the exercise was to work together "...and thanks to Naruto who had both of your backs and saving you from a tight spot you all showed good teamwork although you do need to work on it a bit"

Sasuke hated the fact that it was Naruto that made them succeed and not him

Sakura hated Naruto fro what he did to her during the exam but was somewhat grateful for his help in passing. Though Kakashi didn't tell her that Sasuke had almost incinerated her

Naruto was somewhat happy to pass but inside he was whining 'why!? I was so close to getting away from these 2! Why did he have to pass all 3 of us?!' he thought as a chibi Naruto popped up on his shoulder crying in a fetal position rocking back and forth

Kakashi eye smiled at the 3 and finished up "well now the is the start of team 7, tomorrow we will start on our missions but before we start I want all of you to meet me here at 7 AM, because I have one more lesson to give you before we start missions" ' and it would be better if all of you are back to walking speed and upright' he thought as he saw the girl trying her hardest to stand up straight'

Naruto growled a bit at the man and in a low voice he spoke "don't be late this time Kakashi-sensei or I will make you suffer"

Kakashi wouldn't have taken that threat seriously but for some reason he began to sweat a bit "O-ok *ahem* well I will see you all tomorrow morning" and with that he poofed away

With his Sensei gone Naruto began to walk back to the village with Sasuke following his lead seconds later. Sakura would have asked Sasue out on a date but she at the moment wanted to go home and grab a pack of ice


~Konoha streets~

Naruto was walking with bags in his arms and making his way to his final stop. He had to henge into different people to enter the stores to buy his supplies without too much trouble 'ok I have everything I need. Now I just have one last stop to make before I am completely set'

As he was walking he stopped as a smell his nose, it had a small bit of a familiar scent and it was coming closer if his nose was correct. Looking around he found that the smell was coming from 2 females on the other side of the street and walking in the opposite direction. He looked at the 2 and saw that one was a woman who possessed fair skin and long, dark-purple hair slightly past her waist and side bangs framing her face down to her shoulders, she had a gentle smile on her face almost making her look like an angel. She was wearing a purple, long-sleeved kimono and the other was a little girl who looked 7 years old who looked a lot like the woman but with long brown hair that went to the middle of her back and with long parted bangs with a single lock of hair falling into her face. The little girl had a stern look on her face but on closer inspection she had a small smile while holding the woman's hand. What got Naruto's attention on the 2 were that they had white pupilless eyes and bared a resemblance to Hinata and then it hit him on why they had a small but of the familiar scent; they must be Hinata's mother and little sister.

Naruto would have gone to talk to them but they seemed to be enjoying their time with each other so he decided that he need to at least get their scents, so he went into an alley and made a clone to take the bags he was carrying. Once the clone had everything he jumped to the rooftops he made his way to be a good distance in front of them and got back to street level and began to casually walk in their direction. After a minute they were close and as he walked past he made sure to memorize both of their scents without making any other moves he kept walking towards his final destination 'ok I have their scents and now to get the last piece I need'


Chapter end

Well what do you guys think? Too much? Too little? What did you think of the fight

Honestly I am not sure if I rushed this a bit but here it is

Skipped Sakura and Sasuke's apartment visit since it will be exactly like canon

And I am thinking of what to call Naruto's taijutsu style

And for the thousand years of death I kept going back and forth with who to get hit but I decided with Sakura because she hasn't been hit before from Naruto's switch

Also just to say this I don't hate Sakura. Yes I find her annoying for most of the first part but in Shippuden she gained use but was underused

Please read and review
