Disclaimer: I no own Naruto!

Team Cell 7

Sakura ran down to the alleyways of Konoha "Oh great, Iruka-sensei's gonna kill me for being late class!" she cried "Never again will I let Auntie Natsue do my hair!".

She heard a cry of pain come from one of the alleys; she stopped her run and peeked down the alley her fingers pressed against the dirty bricks of the house.

"You've been a pain in the ass ya know…what do you think you could accomplish stealing this from me?" a deep voice asked lightly. Sakura leaned closer that voice sounded familiar but she couldn't place it.

The missing-nin said nothing but watched him with fear in their eyes.

"…Usually I would've cut off your fingers, but in your case…I'll make an exception" he nodded to his clones and they snickered shoving the kunai's into their throats repeated times.

Sakura held her hands to her mouth to keep the impending scream at bay as she heard their bodies fall to the dirty concrete with a sickening thud.

"Alright get rid of the bodies," he said to his clones and he smirked as they performed the hand seals and fire erupted on the bodies.

Sakura slowly backed away from the scene, but she accidentally backed into a trashcan that fell over with a loud crash. The boy and his clones heads shot up "Who's there!" he shouted. She bolted and he growled, "Go get 'em!" he ordered, one of the clones nodded "Yeah boss"

The only things she could here was the pounding of her own heart and her feet pounding on the asphalt. Sakura felt chakra behind her and she pumped more chakra into her legs, she jumped onto the rooftops in hopes of loosing her pursuer but he was hot on her trail. Desperate, she hid behind an air vent, her pursuer landed on her rooftop.

"Come out…Come out wherever you are" he said in a sing-song voice, "I won't hurt you" she could almost see him smirking "…much"

Sakura gulped as she drew out a kunai squeezing the life out of the hilt 'Please don't come over here' she prayed silently 'Please don't come over here!'

"Well…well…look who we have here…"Sakura looked up slowly and gasped…Naruto Uzumaki!

He reached out to grab her but she rolled away, the clone smirked "It's alright, my boss just wants ta talk to ya about what you saw"

"I-I-I didn't s-see a-anything," stammered Sakura

"Somehow I highly doubt that" the clone raced toward her, his hand outstretched she tried to dance out the way but he grabbed her hitae-ate "Just come on…" he cut off as Sakura wrenched herself out of the hitae-ate. He sighed "I guess we're gonna do this the hard way huh?"

The clone raced toward her his fists raised, "Let me take care of it" a voice in the back of her mind hissed. Everything went black…when she opened her eyes the clone was grabbing at his neck, which was sliced open and his bloodied chest, she swallowed thickly dropping her kunai. Sakura sensed Naruto's chakra coming in fast; quickly she jumped off the building and fled the scene.

Naruto landed on the rooftop he walked to his clone, which was now bleeding all over the place. His eyes surveyed the damage 'Well this was overkill' he thought, the clone disappeared leaving the hitae-ate. Naruto picked up the hitae-ate and a smirk spread over his face 'Interesting…'

Sakura entered her school and every one was busy chatting excitedly about how they finally passed and were on their way to be a real ninja but she ignored them, she had seen Naruto murder someone and even worse he was in her class…what was he going to do when he found out? She touched her hair absently, it was only a matter of time, she left her hitae-ate back in the clones grip and he would notice she would be the only one who didn't have it on.

"Hey Forehead!"

Sakura roused from her paranoid thoughts and mentally cursed seeing Ino, who used to be her friend until she got tired of always being in Ino's shadow. Ino thought that Sakura liked Sasuke too and deemed them rivals 'As if I would care about a freakin human ice cube' Sakura thought when Ino was in front of her.

"What do you want Ino-pig?" Sakura growled

"Ha, you'll be sorry when Sasuke ends up being my teammate!" Ino shouted "Forehead!"

Sakura rolled her eyes "How many times must I repeat this! I don't like Sasuke!"

"Yeah and I'm a freakin' Hokage!" Ino said sarcastically

Sakura got a menacing look in her eyes that shut Ino up "Shut up you annoying squealing pig!" she brushed passed her not sparing a second glance

Sakura entered the classroom her thoughts still back on Naruto, well he wouldn't try to attack her now she was in a crowded place and he wouldn't jeopardize his position as a ninja…Sakura's train of thought stopped as she looked up to see the last person she wanted to see…Naruto Uzumaki.

It seemed all time stopped and was it just her or was the room getting a little cramped, a thousand options ran through her mind; she could run…but he would come after her, she could try to avoid him with all she was worth…he could still confront her, did she say she could run? Sakura looked for an empty seat away from him and she cursed her luck when none was to be found, taking a deep breath she schooled her face into a calm façade and climbed the steps to the seat "Could I get passed you?" she asked timidly.

Naruto smirked, she had to be the one since her hitae-ate was missing. He watched her little ordeal from his seat, Sakura Haruno or more affectionately known as 'Forehead' was the class Valedictorian. She was also the his favorite torture victim when they were younger, and he knew there was no way she could beat his clones unless she was hiding something. He pushed his seat back so she could get past as she moved passed him he put up his leg to block her way.

"Uzumaki-san, c-could you please move?" she asked trying to keep her voice steady

"Your hitae-ate"

Sakura started trembling at its very mention "Hitae-ate?" she croaked

"Where's your hitae-ate? Iruka-sensei will send you home if you don't have it" he smiled smugly "Even if you are his favorite"

"O-Oh my h-h-hitae-ate…I-I didn't notice it fell off…" she stated nervously "I-I guess I-I am a klutz"

Naruto continued to study her and she squirmed under his scrutiny; she was actually kinda cute, she was still too young to have any defining womanly assets but she had a cute face, and possessed the trait of the Haruno women…pink hair and green eyes.

As he pulled her hitae-ate out all the color drained from her face, she put on a shaky smile and it took all her will power not to faint "M-My hitae-ate! You found it…w-where was it?"

"On the roofs" he said nonchalantly "Do you normally run around on rooftops?"

Sakura shook her head vigorously, "N-No today was my first time, I thought I was gonna be late a-and I w-went up there to avoid tr-traffic"

Naruto's blue eyes flicked from her pale face to her hand that was flexing like mad; if she got nervous enough he might have a sliced neck as well. Smirking he held the hitae-ate open and gestured for her to come closer; swallowing thickly she complied leaning forward slightly. Naruto wrapped the hitae-ate around her hair making sure his fingers brushed along her skin noting with pleasure the cherry tinge her cheeks showed off. He tied the hitae-ate firmly then dragged his fingers over her cheeks "Make sure you don't loose it again"

Blushing she nodded and made her way passed him to sit down, he watched her out the corner of his eye.

"Alright class, shut up and settle down." Iruka shouted over the noise as he entered the class. Eventually a hush fell over the room and he began "From this day on you are not mere students of ninjustsu, but full-fledged shinobi. However, among the ranks of ninja you are the lowest of the low, your greatest challenge still lies ahead"

"The next step is the assignment of official duties to you all on behalf of our village. We will begin by dividing you up into three man cells were you will be monitored by Jounin, a more senior ninja, who will guide and coach you as you become familiar with various assignments"

"I've made the selections so that your teams will be equal," announced Iruka, the whole class groaned, he ignored them and read down the list "Next, cell number seven…um…Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke"

Naruto growled "Iruka-sensei!" he shouted "Why are you putting me with Sasuke-teme!"

Iruka frowned "Its a matter of balance Naruto!"

"Just don't drag me down…dobe!" Sasuke said with a smirk

"Go to hell Sasuke-teme!" roared Naruto trying to get around Sakura so he could strangle Sasuke

"Please don't fight!" pleaded Sakura trying to hold Naruto back

Naruto shrugged off Sakura's grip and jumped on the desk glaring down at Sasuke "Say it to my face! I dare you!" he growled.

"Get lost!" hissed Sasuke, both boys glared at each other; electricity sparked between their eyes, suddenly a guy in front of Naruto pushed him. "Oh hey sorry." He said without looking.

Sakura stared shocked as well as all of Sasuke fan club members; the boy who had pushed Naruto had accidentally shoved them into…kissing each other.

"AH, POISON, MY MOUTH IS RUINED!" Naruto screamed

"NARUTO, YOU PIECE OF CRAP, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Sasuke shouted gagging

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Sakura laughed in her chair then fell out of it.

Sakura frowned as she drank her milk, how could this day get any worse? She now was on the same team as the resident ice cube and her tormentor for most of her life. A determined look set on her face, she would have to deal with them unless she wanted to be stronger, 'Strong enough for both of us…'someone interrupted her thoughts pushing her head forward and milk splashed on her face.

"I can't believe I'm on a team with you. If I was a rogue ninja you would be dead by now"

Sakura turned around and frowned "Then don't take your frustrations on me Uzumaki-san"

Naruto smirked "Don't you remember Forehead-chan?" he licked the milk mustache off her upper lip and smirked wider at her as she tried to scoot away from him blushing furiously "You are someone I let my frustrations on" (A.N. Naruto's so bad! Just how I like 'em)

"Go away Naruto" she pleaded as she cleaned the rest of the milk from her face.

"I have a work anyway, but I'll be back later" he grinned cheekily as he waved "See ya teammate"

Sakura slumped resting her head on her knees; yup she was doomed with them as her teammates.

When everyone came back that afternoon everyone met their sensei's and were already gone, it was just Sakura and Sasuke in the room waiting, Sakura didn't try to talk to him he was normally silent in class and only said something when he absolutely had to. (A.N. I hate when Sakura is so gaga on Sasuke, but no Sasuke bashin' I promise)

The door opened and the two looked up expecting to see their sensei but instead saw Naruto smiling smugly.

"Where have you been? Your late" Sakura said as she watched Naruto walk up to them.

"Sorry, I had work to do..." Naruto exclaimed as he smirked, his eyes flickered a slight red tint, and then it was gone. Sakura blinked a few times, thinking she was seeing things. "Besides, our sensei isn't here yet anyway"

"So is work so tough that you were late?" Sasuke asked never taking his eyes from the chalkboard. Naruto leaned forward a bit with his hands in his pockets. He smirked again as he spoke.

"Yeah...work is murder..." Naruto laughed cruelly, tilting his head back slightly.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed "I bet it is"

Sakura stayed silent remembering what he did to those men in the alley.

Naruto slammed a kunai into the floor tying some wire to it, pulling it across the floor "Uzumaki-san...what are you doing?" asked Sakura eyeing the wire suspiciously. Naruto smirked as he slammed another kunai into the floor and tied the other end of the wire to it "Just giving your new sensei a present for being late!"

"Uzumaki-san how would an elite ninja fall for that..." she was cut off when the door slid open and a man with wild silver hair, the hitae-ate covering his left eye, and a mask over his face. He took a step inside he tripped on the wire and fell flat on his face, Naruto openly laughed while Sakura giggled behind her hand. The man brought his legs under him and squatted studying each of them. His visible eye crinkled upward "I'd say my first impression of you...its safe to say that I hate you all!"
The three sweatdropped.

" I'm Hatake Kakashi, your Jounin sensei." He stated, practically smirked at their gaping faces.

"Hm." Kakashi sniffed out as he looked around the room. "A bit stuffy in here. Let's go outside." He motioned his hand waving to them to follow him.

Not seeing that they could do anything else, the three pre-teens followed the older male to the outside, atop of a balcony. Leaning against the railing, he gave them all another look over.

"Ok." He began to the kids that sat on the steps. "I want you all to tell me about yourselves."

"Why in the hell should we do that?" Naruto asked, to which his teacher only answered with a shrug. "A sensei should know his students, tell me what you like and dislike, your hobbies, ambitions, dreams. Things like that."

They all gave a nod of their head and Naruto began, "Well, I'm Uzumaki Naruto. I'm thirteen years old; I like justice, heavy metal bands, rock bands, ramen…and pretty girls like Sakura…" he smirked when she blushed "…I hate it when people bitch at me and Sasuke-teme, my dream is to be the Hokage."

Sasuke growled at him andSakura tried to avoid his eyes, with their sensei giving off a heavy sigh. 'I don't think the village would survive having him as Hokage,' looking to the brooding male he raised an eyebrow signaling him to start.

"Hn. Uchiha Sasuke, thirteen years old. I don't like many things, and I dislike most things such as Uzumaki and Forehead." The two growled at Sasuke and Naruto was ready to strangle him when Sasuke continued.

"I have no damn dream, however, I have an ambition to kill a certain man and revive my clan."

Kakashi stared dully at him, 'Go figure. Of course he would be a bit mental since the massacre, but damn.' He thought rolling his eyes at the boy's frigid attitude.

"And finally our little lady." He chirped to the girl, who smiled at him warily. She still was freaked out he grabbed her like that.

"Well, ok…I'm Haruno Sakura, and I'm twelve years old. My hobbies are shoji. I like milk and vanilla ice cream. I don't like…well never mind," she thought for a moment before continuing "…my dream is…none of your business"

"And why is that?" asked Sasuke mockingly, shifting his eyes from Kakashi to Sakura, "Are you trying to kill someone as well?"

That warning flashed in her eyes hard and cold that Sasuke visibly flinched "As I said before, its none of your business"

Kakashi didn't miss the exchange and his eyes narrowed, there was more to his students than met the eye. He feigned a tired sigh "That's enough you three. Ok, now-" He was cut off when Sakura raised her hand, he nodded acknowledging her to speak.

"That's not fair! You haven't said one thing about yourself!" She whined with a cute pout. Kakashi's eye crinkled upward again "I take back what I said about you...you're very cute!"

'Isn't that illegal for him to say that?' thought both Sasuke and Naruto sweatdropping.

"I'm Hatake Kakashi, twenty-six years old. I have many hobbies that I don't feel like telling you, as well as things I like and things I dislike. I'm perfectly balanced."
Naruto glared "He talked a lot but all we really learned was his name and his age" Sasuke and Sakura nodded.

Kakashi cleared his throat regaining the attention of his students "Now I believe we know each other a little better, formal training starts tomorrow"
"So what are we doing? Shinobi mission?" asked Naruto, his interest piqued.

"The mission just involves the members of this cell", his students gave him questioning looks and he continued, "You'll be doing survival exercises"

"Why the hell would we do survival exercises?" asked Sasuke, slightly annoyed "That's all we ever did in school"
"For once I agree with the ice cube, why waste our time on that?" Naruto grumbled.

"Its different from your other survival tests…" he smirked "You have to survive me. The test you're about to take has a 66 percent rate of failure". All three sweat dropped. "Meet at the practice field at 6 o'clock sharp and don't eat breakfast unless you enjoy throwing up" with that he left them to their own devices.

Slowly the three parted ways until they would meet tomorrow morning.

Love it or hate it! Want it to burn in hell or be exalted to heaven! Tell me, without your reviews I cannot live...blah blah blah...
There will be more Inner Sakura action in the next chappie! Promise!
