When Hana woke up a few days later, ready to meet her sensei & teammates, it suddenly dawned on her that she wasn't a little kid anymore. Well, physically; maybe. Though she would have to grow up mentally. She wasn't sure how, but she would. As a matter of fact, Hana was a little bit Naïve. She often acted childish – which seemed to annoy her sibling. She woke up, feeling fresh and different. Today was the day. The day she was finally a ninja.
She was ready within ten minutes, tying her headband around her forehead and smiling proudly in the mirror. "No mistakes, Hana. This is your time to shine" she mumbled to herself "you are from the world's most powerful clan. You are an Uchiha ~ nobody can beat you". She stopped herself from smiling ~ trying to be mature like Sasuke, and left her bedroom. Speaking of Sasuke, she met him in the living room. He was chomping on a bowl of cereal, and glanced up at her as she entered.
"Good morning" she replied blankly, causing him to quirk an eyebrow at his younger sibling. He swallowed his mouthful, before nodding "good morning". Hana poured herself a bowl of cereal. She needed a hearty breakfast if she was to survive her first day as a ninja. Sasuke was still watching her, wondering in his mind why she wasn't skipping around or annoying him like usual. She poured her usual amount of milk on her cereal (quite a lot) before sitting down beside him on the couch and eating her cereal like a responsible adult (in other words, she wasn't slobbering all over the place).
Sasuke finished his cereal, his eyes still on his younger sister. She blinked at him once she had noticed, before swallowing and asking "what?". "Nothing" he shrugged "just… there's something different about you". She almost giggled, but held it back "I'm just tired". Why couldn't she bring herself to be honest with him? Perhaps she felt it would be silly to him. He shrugged, standing up "well, I hope you'll be attentive today. It's your first day as a Ninja". Damn, she screwed up already. Trying to impress Sasuke was more difficult than she thought.
She nodded "of course". He was surprised by her cold-ish answer, but it didn't show on his face. Instead, he moved to the bathroom and began to wash up. Hana was seriously annoyed. Why was impressing him so difficult? Then again, her brother was a difficult person. She couldn't bring herself to finish her breakfast, so left it on the counter to clean later on when she got back. She washed up as soon as Sasuke left the bathroom, and the pair took off towards the academy.
She was about to gush about how proud she was that they had graduated – but she stopped herself. Sasuke would never speak like that, she told herself. She needed to remain calm. As soon as they reached their classroom, the girls began to argue over who got to sit beside Sasuke. As usual, it annoyed Hana, but she stayed silent like her brother, who wasn't getting involved at all. Just then, Naruto jumped up on the table, startling the siblings slightly. He glared at Sasuke, and Hana could tell he was wondering what the big fuss was about.
Again, she almost giggled. Again, she held it back. She glanced out the window, and within seconds, the whole classroom of girls were screaming with jealousy. She turned her head, thinking it was something got to do with her – then gasped loudly upon seeing that Naruto had kissed Sasuke! She pushed the pair apart, watching as they dry-heaved with disgust.
"WHAT THE HELL, NARUTO?!" the girls screamed. Hana wanted to stick up for him so badly, but she kept it in, knowing her brother and Naruto didn't really get along too well. She sighed deeply, rolling her eyes as they fought with him "what idiots". Sasuke seemed taken aback by her comment. Usually, she would have stuck up for Naruto, but Sasuke wasn't really complaining. He enjoyed watching Naruto in pain.
Moments after Naruto was half beat to a pulp, Iruka Sensei arrived and began to divide them into teams of three. Hana had been sort of hoping she would be a part of Sasuke's team, so that the other girls couldn't harm him, but she wasn't. She was disappointed to find she was actually part of an all-girls team – which.. had never happened before. She knew it would be full of drama – especially since it was all girls. "Team eleven" Iruka had announced "Hana Uchiha, Sumi Tanaka and Nari Uzumaki". Hana groaned quietly, placing her head down on the table and trying her best not to scream. All girls, really? "Why are we the only team that has all girls?" Sumi asked their Sensei, rather boredly. Hana could tell she wasn't all for it, either.
"Because there isn't a balance of boys and girls in this class. There's more girls than boys. I figured that since you three have your own unique abilities and skills; that you would be a great team" Iruka explained, a small smile plastering his lips. Hana released another quiet groan, her eyes flickering to Sumi and Nari. It's not that Hana didn't like the two – okay, maybe she didn't. Nari was waaaay too hyper – way more hyper than Hana had ever been. She wouldn't be surprised if Nari was Naruto's long lost twin, or something. They were far too similar – and even shared the same last name. Sometimes, Hana thought maybe they were sibling, but the pair always denied it.
Moving on to Sumi, well.. she was different. She didn't really ever care about anything, it seemed, though maybe that was just a façade. It was the perfect balance of Bullshit; more like. Especially with Hana's new personality – she would find it extremely difficult to tolerate Nari and her crap. This was going to be, in the words of Shikamaru, such a drag. "Anyway, you will all meet your new team leaders after lunch. Dismissed!" Iruka exclaimed happily, as if he had just accomplished something great. In Hana's eyes, he definitely hadn't. He had teamed her up with two people she most definitely wouldn't get along with – EVER.
Hana paced the yard moments later, trying to think of possible ways to get out of that team. Maybe if she swapped with Sakura? No, Sakura wouldn't budge, especially since she was on Team 7 with Sasuke. "Hey, Hana!" she heard behind her, causing her to freeze slightly. Nari. She turned on her heel, ready to attack her with insults when she noticed Nari was holding three bags. She raised both eyebrows, motioning with her head towards the bags "what's that?".
"Oh, I prepared lunches for whoever I ended up being teamed with!" Nari explained, giggling a little. Hana sighed a little, glancing around the yard and noticing all the people staring at her, judging her for being so cold. "Well – thanks…" she mumbled, going to take the bag, but Nari held them up in the air "nuuu! I was hoping you would have lunch with ME". "With you?" Hana sighed, watching Nari nod vigorously "of course you were… how silly of me".
Nari let out another small giggle, before her huge, blue eyes fell on Sumi. Sumi was leaving the academy, her hands shoved in her pockets. "HEY SUMI!" she yelled, causing Hana to flinch. "Quit being so loud…" she mumbled, shooting the other students a sheepish grin as she followed Nari. Sumi almost jumped out of her skin, a deep frown making its way upon her face "what is it?". "Well, Hana and I were hoping you would want to have lunch with us" Nari told her, causing the other to shake her head "I'm busy". "BUSY?! WHYYYYY?!" Nari gasped. "I just am, idiot" Sumi groaned, beginning to walk away, but Nari threw herself onto the ground and wrapped her arms around Sumi's leg. "THE HELL?! GET OFF ME!" Sumi yelled, shaking her leg, but Nari wasn't about to be defeated.
"FINE. I'LL HAVE LUNCH WITH YOU LOSERS!" Sumi yelled, causing Nari to release her leg and jump to her feet, cheering happily "YESSSSS!". Hana shot Sumi an apologetic look, while Sumi just rolled her eyes and snatched the lunch out of Nari's hand "let's just get this over with". This was going to be WAY worse than Hana had initially expected…
So they found a nice spot near Sumi's apartment, and perched on a bench to eat their lunch. "What do you guys think..!?" Nari asked, gobbling down her sandwich. Meanwhile, Hana and Sumi were almost blue in the face. "What did you put in this…?" Sumi gagged, spitting it out into the bin beside her. Nari's face fell "Tuna". "Did you even kill it first? Ew" Sumi groaned, throwing the sandwich in the bin. Hana watched as tears welled up in Nari's eyes, so she gobbled down her sandwich. Sumi watched her with squinted eyes, while Nari wiped at her own. "This is amazing!" Hana chimed "I'm not sure, maybe Sumi just doesn't like tuna. Right, Sumi?".
Sumi opened her mouth to protest, but Nari cut across her "AH I UNDERSTAND, THEN! Heh – WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY SO?". "Because I do li-" Sumi started, but Hana nudged her hard in the ribs "of course you don't". Sumi shot her teammate a death glare, before huffing and standing up "let's just go ~ we have to meet our sensei". "YAY! HOW EXCITING!" Nari exclaimed, standing up and running in the direction of the academy. Just as Hana went to follow, Sumi grabbed her by the arm and yanked her back. Hana stared at her teammate with blank eyes. "You think you're so damn cool like your brother, Sasuke. Let me tell you something; you're not. You're just an idiot. So if you EVER hit me again, I'll kill you". She dug her nails into Hana's arm, then stormed off in the direction of the academy. "Someone's on her period.." Hana shrugged, then set off after her. Yep, definitely was going to be more difficult. She pitied their sensei, especially if it was a man. So. Damn. Bad.
