Future Konoha

Shirubi-chan: Well, only two reviews this time, Neji!

Neji: All you reviewers are evil... I don't like answering these... But I guess if you guys don't review Tenten and Shirubi-chan will find other ways to torture me...

MommyRogers- Shirubi-chan says it'll be the Genin's starting to like each other. But not too much. There will be small hints but it won't be over obvious, the hints will actually start showing up this chapter. The small hints will be sort of like in the anime, like how you can tell Sasuke likes Sakura but doesn't actually say it.

Shadow-Wind Auror- Good question... I guess Shirubi-chan didn't mention that, did she? Its Tenten... When she finishes drawing the picture of the Genin's you'll definitely see some resemblances between Tenyuu and Tenten (and when you look at the name, you can guess it was chosen by Tenten)

Tenten: Yep! I've always dreamed of giving my kid that name... If it was a boy anyway.

Neji: You like to think too far in the future don't you?

Tenten: No! I don't!

Shirubi-chan: Yep! She always thinks about things that will happen in the future... Once again I think we're boring the readers. I should start the chapter.

Chapter Three: Training and a Strange Dinner, the New Rookies Meet!

It was early the next morning and Haruya was being woken up by her alarm clock. Damn morning, why can't you be later. Like around noon... She sat up rubbing her eyes and hopped out of her bed. Reaching under her bed she grabbed the box from the night before with her new outfit in it. Slowly, very, very slowly she got dressed, though she didn't put her new shoes on yet.

Still grumbling about morning being too early she stumbled out of her room, down the hall, and into the kitchen. Once she sat down at the table she ran her fingers through her hair a few times, bringing her hair to its normal state of complete chaos compared to the other girls who had been in her class at the Ninja Academy.

Hinata walked into the room just a few seconds after Haruya had sat down and sat down across from her daughter. "You ready for your first day of training, Haruya-chan?"

"Yes..." Haruya said looking down. She then realized that she hadn't asked anyone how she looked in her new outfit, even though her mother was the first other person she'd seen since waking up. "Oh, mom? How do you think I look in my new outfit?" She stood up and spun around on her toes once with her arms spread out.

"You look just fine, Haruya-chan. I'm sure your friend, Rumiko, will like it too." Hinata smiled just as Naruto walked in and sat down. Not a single bit of light was shining through the window yet so it was still rather dark in the kitchen so when Naruto entered the room, since he still preferred neon orange clothes it seemed like the room brightened up a little bit so Haruya was left blinking.

"Hey, Hinata, Haruya-chan." Naruto said smiling. "Haruya-chan, you look really good in your new outfit... Do you want me to help you wrap the bandages around your arms and legs now?" He had just grabbed a package of cup ramen and was walking towards the microwave.

"Sure, you might want to finish making your breakfast first." Haruya giggled but then her stomach rumbled and she sighed loudly. As her father ate his breakfast Haruya just stared at the ramen longingly. After the torture of watching her father eat and then throw away the package she started talking again, a bit of drool running out of the corner of her mouth. "So, are you going to help?"

"Oh, ya... Sorry, you know how I am. When I eat ramen I sometimes forget stuff..." Naruto stood up and walked over by Haruya's seat and sat down on his heels. "Okay, give me your right arm..." Haruya held out her arm and her father started wrapping it up in the bandages and after about two minutes he was about up to her shoulder so he cut off the extra and got it to stay up. "So, is that okay? Can you still bend your elbow and everything? And move around your fingers and wrist?"

Haruya nodded and held out her other arm. After all of her limbs had been wrapped up Haruya stuck on her new shoes and smiled. "I better be going. There's only an hour until we're supposed to start training and I need to warm up." With that, now that she was more awake, Haruya jumped up and ran out the door before saying a few quick goodbyes to her parents.

35th Training Area- Thirty Minutes Before Sunrise

There, in the dark, Haruya was practicing her Hakke Rokujuu Yonshou on a tree, the light blue blasts of chakra and Haruya's blond hair pretty much the only thing you could see in the darkness. It was getting sort of boring practicing her same old moves over and over so she stopped attacking and sat down on the ground and started stretching. I really need to be more flexible... She thought as she tried to touch her toes, just barely a few millimeters away.

She continued doing several different stretches until the sun was just starting to peek up over the tree tops. It was just then that Lee-sensei walked into the clearing where Haruya was in, his smile in full glare, though it wasn't too bad since it was still semi-dark.

"Yes! A young one here with tons of energy even before my youthful presence was here! It's something to be proud of!" Lee-sensei bounded over to where Haruya was and scooped her into a huge bear hug.

"L-L-Lee-sensei... Y-you're crushing m-me..." Haruya choked out and her sensei dropped her. After standing back up after being dropped she brushed off her clothes and was looking down at her feet when she asked. "I w-w-wonder when Rumiko and M-Mamoru will be here..."

It was like she was psychic or something, because just then Mamoru walked into the clearing followed about two minutes later by Rumiko. That's when Lee got really excited. "Okay, all of you who's youth are in full bloom! Today we will be testing you to find whether you are capable of becoming the new Genin of Konoha! You must run one hundred rounds of youth around this training field! If you all make it without stopping you will have successfully became three of the nine wonderful new Genins of this superb village!"

All of the kids jaws almost literally dropped. Even the usually emotionless Mamoru looked surprised. "READY... GO!" Lee shouted and waved his arms in the air. All of the kids immediately took off, the only one really minding to pace themself was Mamoru, but Haruya and Rumiko took off running fast immediately. Even half way around the training field they could still hear their sensei's calls of encouragement. After about five laps Haruya and Rumiko started slowing down and were about even with Mamoru. After about fifteen laps they had started thinking to themselves because they were so bored.

Haruya, Jeez, I'm getting so tired, we've only done twenty laps also... And I'm so bored... But, I just have to beat that idiot Mamoru...

Rumiko, It looks like Haruya is slowing down a little bit, and its only been twenty-five laps. But then again, I'm slowing down too because I'm getting a little behind her, how troublesome...

Mamoru, Damn it! This is so boring... I'm feeling so tired, and its only been about thirty-five laps! I can't show it though... I have to keep going.

Haruya, I can't believe I have to do this, but I'm just soooo bored and tired now that we're at the fiftieth lap. I have to have something to take my mind off of those things... -sings in head- I wear a disguise, I'm just you average Jane, the super doesn't stand for model, but that doesn't mean I'm plain, if all you see is how I look, you miss the super chic within, and I christen you Titanic, underestimate and swim. -keeps singing rest of song in her head-

Rumiko, This whole thing is way too troublesome, its too troublesome to think right now... Troublesome training, troublesome thinking, troublesome seventy-fifth lap, troublesome life!

Mamoru, Kill me, just kill me now... My knees hurt like someone's been stabbing me continuously with a kunai for seventy hours... Just five more laps though... I have to make it. Damn it, Haruya is still ahead of me.

They finished all one hundred laps without any of the three stopping, even though they were extremely worn out. They were all still breathing heavily as their sensei ran over and started congratulating them. Before he could finish his speech he noticed that Haruya had actually fallen asleep or fainted and leaned against Mamoru's shoulder, which had made him blush, which had made Rumiko giggle. It was a chain of events that eventually ended up with Haruya waking up and jumping back away from Mamoru and apologizing furiously.

A Buffet Eating Place- Later That Evening

Everyone was reasonably re-energized when Lee-sensei brought them to a table in a buffet place in the town where they would meet the other official Genin teams along with their senseis. The arrangements for their section of the table were like this: Lee-sensei on the far left, then Uchiha Mamoru, next to him was Uzumaki Haruya, and then on the far right was Nara Rumiko.

Because Haruya and Mamoru were sitting next to each other and still remembered the incident earlier where Haruya had leaned on Mamoru they were both blushing, Mamoru's blush almost unnoticeable while Haruya's was almost as red as a fire, and it was still like that when the second team came, followed closely by the third team of Genins with their sensei.

The last two teams were combinations almost as strange as Lee's team. Neji's team had passed his test of whatever it had been, Aoyoko and Akayoru had both brought their own food and Kazeta wasn't eating anything. Also, Kiba's team was there. On his team there was Aburame Hana, Sato Inako, and Erutano Nomu.

All of the kids chatted about how tough their test to become official Genin had been and what they were planning to do now that they were ninjas. They even talked and argued about which kind of weapons were better for hand-to-hand combat. Mamoru and Hana were even talking more than usual. The senseis were arguing on who's team was going to be better, with pretty much everyone in the whole restaurant able to hear Lee's huge shouts that his was the best no matter what.

"Well, I think that needles are good for close fights, if you can get the technique down right, that is." Inako said, holding out one of her needles. Several of the Genin shook their heads and there were a few side comments.

"You're the only person who is good at handling the needles for close combat, Inako. Don't try and get us interested either." Nomu said crossing his arms and smirking. He then took out one of his kunai with a long handle. "These are better, they're easy to keep a hold of and you can do a lot of damage!" Quite a few people nodded at what he said and Inako let out a discouraged sigh.

It was then that everything went wrong. Lee reached out and accidentally grabbed a bottle of sake instead of his glass of water and took a long gulp. Quickly he became a little less alert and somehow very mad. Neji was the first one to notice. "Everyone... We need to leave... Right away..." The Genins were about to put up an fight saying they weren't done eating or that they were still talking when Lee karate chopped the table they were at in half. After seeing that everyone in the restaurant immediately stood up and got outside as quickly as their legs could take them.

Within about ten minutes the whole building was destroyed, and a completely confused Lee stood there in the middle of the rubble, asking people what happened. Kiba quickly grabbed him and got all of the ninja's away from the building before they would be blamed. Once all of them were about a kilometer away and hidden well they checked to make sure that all of them were there.

"That was sure strange..." Rumiko said with an eyebrow raised. "What happened, Lee-sensei?"

"I'd rather not talk about it now, my youthful student. Lets just have our team meet at the front door of the academy at sunrise tomorrow to begin our missions.

"Okay!" Haruya said, a huge smile across her face. Mamoru nodded and Rumiko mumbled to herself about how missions were going to be troublesome.

Shirubi-chan: I think that chapter turned out really well! There will be some more fights soon and I think a very important event will be coming up soon, but I won't say any more. I want it to be a surprise. And please review. I have to have a total of 8 reviews before I post the next chapter. And that counts the ones that I have already. See you next time!
