A shadowy figure was walking toward Konohagakure with blond hair with bangs coming to the side of his face and sapphire blue eyes with whiskers on his face. He wore a white hoodie with orange trims down the sleeve and black pants and black ninja sandals. Izumo, who was one of the guards, saw the figure. "Halt state your business!" but he was in shock when he saw the figure. "M-minato-sama?" Izumo stuttered. The figure smirked and shook his head before he spoke.

"Naruto Uzumaki Senju has returned." Naruto, who was now 14 years old and was 5,2, was walking through the village approaching the hokage, as he was walking he heard some of the civilians saying 'the fourth has returned' or 'Minato'. Naruto just smirks at this to the hokage office. ' I wonder if I have time for some ramen, and where are tou-san and kaa-san?'

"Hey you? You're the demon brat are you?" Naruto turned to a civilian who said that and smirked.

"I think you have me confused? If I was a demon, you would be dead." Before the civilian could say anything, Naruto disappeared without a noise, confusing the man until he felt a shiver down his spine. "After all, I'm stronger than you." The civilian turned around in fear but no one was there. He looked around and scratched his head while Naruto was looking down at him smiling.

"That was very good kit. Show them who's the stronger male." The kyuubi, complemented.

"Thanks, but can you stop calling me kit, I thought we were friends now?" Naruto pouted.

The kyuubi chuckled inside the Naruto mindscape. "We are but you have to earn the right. When you learn my name, I'll start using yours." Naruto nodded and went towards the ramen stand. "Kit, can you sync our taste buds together? I want to see what's so godly about this ichiraku ramen you always mention."

Ichiraku ramen 10 mins later

"Kit! Eat more of the beef, and some pork in the mix. I'm so glad I didn't destroy this place." Kyuubi said with joy. Naruto smirked and complied with the fox's wishes. Ayame came around and gave him a hug.

"It's so good to see you again Naruto-kun, how was your training trip.?"

"It was fun, I met death door the first 13 time in the beginning but it was rewarding. After all, I have to be strong to become hokage." Ayame gave him a concerned look which he noticed. "Don't worry Ayame-chan, I'm fine."

"Stop being concerned Ayame, the boy is tough as nails and thanks to my ramen, he'll be even harder to kill." Teuchi told his daughter. Ayame nodded and went back to the kitchen while Naruto continued to eat.

"Can I have another bowl, ji-san?" Naruto requested.

"Sure, what kind?"

"Oh, shrimp and spicy chicken with extra meat." Naruto chuckled at the fox's new addiction and proceeded with the order.

Hokage Tower

Sarutobi was standing up looking out the window with a small smile on his face. Today was the day when his surrogate grandson returned. Sarutobi was grateful for his perverted student for taking his godson on a family trip. After everything Naruto has been through, he could use some love and not only that, he has a teacher who would actually put in the effort. Sarutobi knew the potential of the blonde, someone who can out maneuver anbu in broad daylight with camouflage and wearing orange must be some talent, right? As he was trapped in his thoughts, someone walked in the office without him knowing. "Well sensei, I'm back."

Sarutobi turned around to Jiraiya who had a smile on his face. "Welcome back Jiraiya. I assume everything went smoothly?"

"Actually, things were better."

"Really? Well that's good to hear, where is Naruto-kun anyway?" Sarutobi asked. But before he could answer, they heard yelling from a familiar voice.

"IF YOU CALL MY SON A DEMON ONE MORE TIME? I SWEAR I'M GOING TO DAMAGE YOU BEYOND REPAIR!"

"Calm down Tsunade-sama, we need to go to the office." another voice ranged. Sarutobi's eyes widened and looked at Jiraiya.

"You managed to bring Tsunade back, how?"

"I can answer that myself." Sarutobi turned to the door and saw three people at the door. One of them being Tsunade, the other woman next to her was Tsunade assistant Shizune. And finally the blonde boy next to them, the one he was looking forward to seeing again. "We're home sensei.

"It's good to see you Tsunade-hime, Shizune-chan and I'm especially happy to see you again, Naruto-kun." Naruto ran towards the old man and gave him a hug.

"Nice to see you jiji." Naruto greeted, releasing him from the hug. "Sorry about the noise downstairs.

"Yes, what happened down there?" Sarutobi asked. "Tsunade, if i heard right, you said you had a son?"

"Yes, and your foolish secretary had the nerve to disrespect him, all we asked was to come to your office and she said 'the demon isn't allowed in the building.' So I tore her a new one." Tsunade explained while her arms were folded under her breast, pushing up which didn't go unnoticed by Jiraiya who was giggling.

"Kaa-chan. Tou-san staring again." Naruto said, glaring at the white head man. It was a known fact that the boy hated perverts, which made Jiraiya depressed and impressed the slug queen. Tsunade turned to Jiraiya and glared at him. She then approached the toad sage and smashed him in the ground.

"No perverted acts in front of Naru-chan." Tsunade threatened.

"Calm hime, he's practically an adult."

"I do not want you corrupting my son. Do you understand?" Tsunade warned. Jiraiya shook his head quickly.

"One at a time now Tsunade, why do you keep calling Naruto-kun your son?" Sarutobi asked. Tsunade smiled and went to hug Naruto. "Because he's my son and I adopted him." Sarutobi's eyes widened, so Tsunade gave him an explanation. "When the pervert left the village with Naru-chan, he found me a few weeks later. Naru-chan and I exchanged stories and we both realized we wanted the same thing, a family. Since I'm part Uzumaki and knew his parents, we both agreed to enter a mother/son relationship."

Sarutobi smiled. "That's wonderful to hear but we have to talk to the council."

"You can inform them but they can't stop me since I signed it in another village and thanks to the sannin rights, plus Naruto is a civilian they can't say shit. So it would be a pointless meeting."

"I see, well if you already signed off on it. I can't change things. But let's stop for now, Naruto-kun, if you still want to be a genin, you have to go through some tests."

"No need, I can vouch that Naruto would be the strongest in his generation. While he still has a lot to learn, he is already a better seal master than me." Jiraiya said.

"But how is that possible?" Sarutobi asked. Jiraiya looked down in embarrassment, which confused the hokage. Tsunade smiled in pride and decided to speak.

"In fact sensei, Naruto and I are both better seal masters than Jiraiya. It turns out the seals Jiraiya knows are not even a fraction of what the Uzumaki's could do. Basically in terms of Uzumaki skill, Jiraiya would still be a novice. When we visited Uzu, the pervert couldn't understand a thing, while surprisingly Naruto and I soaked most of it up. We haven't learned them all but we sure as hell surpass Jiraiya."

Sarutobi was shocked, Konoha's best seal masters are now the slug princess and a 14 year old boy. "So what level are you two?"

"Intermediate at best. We're still studying some more. Anyway, has my son's team been picked?"

"Yes, he will meet them at the academy. You are part of team 7 and your sensei is Kakashi hatake."

"Sweet, hey tou-san, do you have two new copies of icha icha?" Naruto asked his adoptive father.

"Oh, becoming a fan of my work?"

"Fat chance, you told me that hatake guy is a fan of these books, if i play my cards right, I can use it to my advantage." Naruto answered. Jiraiya nodded and gave him a green book and a yellow book.

"Thanks tou-san, I'll see you later kaa-chan, love you." Naruto said before jumping out the window. Tsunade chuckled. She then remembered something and gave her sensei a scroll.

"Kumo also wants to sign an alliance, I help one of the raikage jonin with a virus and he wants to try and build a better relationship with us. So they 're hoping you would allow them to participate in this year's chunin exam. I think you should let them." Tsunade informed me. Hiruzen nodded but before they could get a word in, Jiraiya spoke up.

"Sensei, there is something else. Naruto has a bloodline and a new summoner contract." Jiraiya said, grabbing Sarutobi's attention.

Academy

"AHH! Where the hell are those two?" Sakura practically screamed. She was impatiently waiting for her and Sasuke's sensei and third teammate. They were upset to find out their third teammate was Naruto. Sakura still will remember how he always tried to ask her out on dates and tried to get in the way of her and Sasuke.

"They will pay for keeping Sasuke-kun waiting, cha!" inner sakura said.

Sasuke was not as upset, since he thought he didn't need teammates. He was the best of his class and very skillful. But the problem with teammates was he would have to pick up the slack if they were weak, and having a fangirl and an idiot means a lot of extra work.

"Hey Sasuke-kun, where do you think those two are?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke is just quiet, laying his head on the back of his hands. Sakura just signed and sat next to him. Soon a jonin with silver hair walked through the door and looked at the group. "My first impression is...you guys are boring." he said, causing Sakura's head to drop and Sasuke to glare.

'This guy's a weirdo.' Sakura thought

'He's a jonin?' Sasuke thought.

"Anyway, meet me on the roof." the jonin instructed.

"But sensei, what about our third teammate?" Sakura asked.

"What about him?"

"He's not here yet, shouldn't we wait for him?" Sakura asked. Kakashi tilted his head to the side, giving her a lazy look.

"What are you talking about, as a shinobi you should always check your surroundings. sign* he's in the back of the room, he's been here the entire time." Sakura and Sasuke's eyes widened and turned to the back of the class and sure enough, there he was, legs on the desk, reading a book. Naruto closed his book and looked at the group with a small grin.

"What?" the blonde asked.

'When did he get here?' the pinkette asked herself..

'How could I miss him? The lone Uchiha thought.

"Now meet me on the roof." Kakashi said before poofing away. Sakura and Sasuke got up to leave and both failed to notice Naruto not there anymore. When the two arrived on the roof, they saw Kakashi bowing to Naruto with tears in his eyes, while holding a yellow book. "Thank you so much Naruto, I'm eternally grateful."

Don't sweat it. Oh you two are finally here." Naruto greeted his two teammates.

"How did you get up here before us, I don't remember you walking past us?" Sakura asked.

Naruto chuckled a bit. "Secret." Sakura was about to yell until Kakashi cut her off.

"Now, how about we start with introducing ourselves. Things you like, things you hate and dreams for the future" Kakashi said.

"Kakashi-sensei, maybe you should show us how to do it." Sakura suggested. Naruto looked at the pinkette with a questionable gaze. 'I would've thought someone with a high ego and shallow personality would've known how to introduce themselves.'

"Sign, well I'm Kakashi Hatake, things I like and dislike. Hmm don't feel like talking about it. My dreams for the future, never really thought about it. That's all." Kakashi finished with an eye smile. 'All we learned was his name.' the three genin thought to themselves. "Now is your turn. You first pinkie."

Sakura glared at the jonin before speaking. "I'm Sakura Haruno, my likes are.." she looked at Sasuke and squealed. "My dreams for the future.." She looked at the Uchiha and squealed again. Naruto shook his head in disappointment. This was the girl he used to have a crush on.

"And your dislikes?"

"INO-PIG AND NARUTO-BAKA!" she yelled, turning to the blonde but was surprised he was just looking up at the sky smiling like he didn't care. He turned his head to the pinkette and gave her a confusing gaze.

"Did you say something?" Sakura was fuming, while Kakashi felt pride. He turned to Sasuke.

"Your turn emo." Sasuke and Sakura glared at their sensei, while Naruto chuckled.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I dislike a lot of things and I don't particularly like anything. I don't have any dreams but an ambition. I will restore my clan and kill a certain someone." Sasuke finished receiving different looks from the others.

'I knew it, I have to help realize revenge is not the way.' Kakashi thought to himself.

'Sasuke-kun is so cool!' Sakura squealed.

'Great, I got a power hungry Uchiha and a shallow fangirl. They're both selfish and with them on this team, we won't make it far.' Naruto signed. 'Why did I like her again?'

"Beats me, hearing her voice makes me want to kill her." Kuruma voiced.

"Alright, your turn Naruto." Kakashi instructed but the blonde was cut-off by Sakura.

"Why did you call the baka by his name and not us?" Sakura yelled.

"Because, he was the only one who was nice enough to give me a gift." Kakashi answered before giving Naruto the go ahead.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki-Senju," Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke's eyes widened at the 'Senju' . "My dream is to become the best hokage so I can protect my precious people and hopefully have a loving family." Naruto said, making Kakashi smile.

"Nice dream, but why didn't you say anything about your likes and dislikes? And why is your last name Senju?" Kakashi asked.

"The reason I didn't say my likes and dislikes was because I know a self righteous emo and his shallow minion wouldn't care, so I'll tell them if we ever become friends. And the reason my name is Senju is because that's mom's last name." Naruto answered.

Before Kakashi could ask anymore questions, another voice made itself known. "There you are, I've been searching for you." The new team 7 turned their heads towards the voice and saw Tsunade.

"Hey I just got- SMACK!- Ow!" Naruto turned to Sakura who just hit him on the head and both were glaring at each other. "Why did you hit me, you harpy?"

"You idiot, that's Tsunade-sama," Sakura turned to the slug princess and bowed. "I'm sorry for my idiot teammate for his.." she didn't get to finish because she was pulled up by her blouse, causing the pinkette to shiver.

"Listen here, Sakura, was it? If you ever hit my son again for something petty, I will snap you in half and with your mass, I could use my pinky. Am I clear?" Sakura didn't answer right away because the only thing that went through everyone's mind was, she just called Naruto her son. Tsunade got impatient and stamped on the ground. "Am I clear?" Sakura nodded her head fast and was dropped on the ground. "Naru-chan, here is our home address. Sorry for disturbing you Kakashi, I'll be going." She shunshin away leaving everyone quiet.

"Sorry about that, she's very overprotective of me."

Umm, sure. Anyway, tomorrow we will have a true test to see if you're worthy of becoming a genin." Kakashi responded.

"What do you mean? We passed the genin exam, except for the baka."

"That was just to weed out the weaklings, meet me tomorrow at 6:30 in the morning. Oh, and I suggest not eating breakfast or you just might puke." Kakashi finished before shushin away. Naruto got up and walked towards the edge of the roof.

"Well I hope we can get along as teammates and don't listen to him about not eating tomorrow. I'll see you tomorrow." Naruto said before leaping off the building. Sakura ran to the edge and to her surprise, Naruto was gone. 'How did he do that?' Sakura questioned herself.

Senju complex

Naruto arrived home and went to the kitchen to greet his mom. "Hey kaa-chan."

Tsunade was at the stove and turned to Naruto with a smile. He approached her and she gave him a kiss on his forehead. "Sorry, about earlier with that girl."

"What happened?" Shizune asked, walking in from another room.

"One of Naru-chan's teammates had the nerve to hit him for greeting me. She's a fangirl by the look of her."

"Where does this girl live?" Shizune asked, narrowing her eyes.

"It's fine, Shizune-nee. Kaa-chan took care of it. Remember the girl I said I used to have a crush on?" Naruto said, grabbing an apple and sitting at the table.

"Oh, Sakura. Well I don't like her. Whoever harms my Naruto-kun, is on my list." Shizune said, approaching Naruto and hugging him.

"Your Naruto-kun? Don't you mean my Naru-chan?" Tsunade asked, approaching the two and hugging him. Naruto was blushing at the contact. Tsunade and Shizune stop arguing when they hear giggling and turn to Jiraiya with a notebook.

"Heh heh, icha-icha step family." Jiraiya giggled but soon it died when he saw Tsunade right in front of him. "Um, hi hime. I'll give you a copy." Soon that night the village heard screaming.

Later Naruto was in his room, looking through a book he got from his bookshelves Tsunade set up for him. "Naru-chan, why are you still awake?" Naruto looked towards his door and saw Tsunade standing at the door.

"I was just looking through some kenjutsu scrolls, studying every chance I got."

Tsunade smiled and walked up to Naruto and wrapped her arms around him from behind. "Naru-chan, it's good you want to study but remember you're still young. Make friends and find love."

Naruto nodded. 'Love huh?'

Kumo earlier that day

Ah..ugh." a kumo shinobi screamed being slammed into a mountain. Across from him was a blonde-haired woman with blue eyes. She had a low cut black outfit and skirt with blue guards. She had her leg extended from kicking her opponent.

"Not good enough." she said.

"Come on Samui-san, you will never find someone you like." Samui turned to her red-head friend.

"They weren't cool Karui, I refuse to date someone who only wants me for my chest and has the warmth." Samui replied, in a monotone way.

"Warmth?" Kurui responded.

"I read in a book, when you find someone you're interested in, you will feel a warm spark. No one here has that. Plus they're weaker than me." Samui said. Ever since the academy, multiple guys have been asking Samui out, so she challenges them to a fight and if they would win. They would get one date. But no one ever did.

"Isn't that some fairy-tail?" Karui teased.

"Maybe, but I want someone who doesn't look at my chest and is strong. Someone who is noble and kind hearted. But no one like that is here. I want someone who has the type of eyes I'm looking for." Samui said with a straight face.

"Hmm, maybe you'll meet someone at the chunin exam. From what I heard it's from konoha and with the new treaty, we might be nominated." Karui said. Samui looked at her before looking at the sky. "Cool."

Konoha training ground 7

Naruto arrived at the training ground and found Sasuke leaning against a tree and Sakura looking irritated. Sakura noticed his arrival and stomped towards him. "Where have you been? He said be here at 6:30, not 8;30."

"Well I looked into information about Kakashi-sensei and found out he's always 3 hours late. So I ate some breakfast and did some morning training." Naruto answered.

"But Kakashi-sensei said not to eat."

"No he suggested it and we're shinobi, not eating will hinder us." Naruto said, making the other eyes widen. Now that they thought of it, Naruto was right. He suggested not eating or they would throw up. 'We've been tricked.' the other two thought.

"Yo, morning my cute little genin." Kakashi greeted with an eye smile, appearing out of nowhere.

"You're late!" Sakura yelled.

"I'm sorry, you see this old lady was lost and asked me to show her where the shopping center was. So I guided her there." Kakashi said sheepishly.

"Liar!" the pinkette yelled.

"Anyway, for the test." Kakashi pulled out two bells. "Your objective is to retrieve these bells from me."

"But sensei there are only two of them and three of us." Sakura commented.

"Exactly, which means only two of you pass, while one of you will go back to the academy." Kakashi finished.

'Oh no, I might be separated from my Sasuke-kun.' Sakura thought.

'I will get those bells, no one will get in my way.' Sasuke thought, giving off a challenging glare.

Naruto narrowed his eyes at Kakashi and the bells. 'This doesn't make any sense, from what pervy sage told me, konoha always had a two-man cell team. Why introduce ourselves just to split us apart? Plus new genin have no chance in a fight against a jonin unless..' Naruto's eyes widened. 'We work together, the bells are not the true goal.' "Damn it!" Naruto yelled, causing everyone to turn to him.

"What's the matter, Naruto?" Kakashi asked.

"Maybe the dobe realized he can't pass the test." Sasuke said, with a smug look.

"Hardly duck-ass, I know the true meaning of the test and it's going to be impossible to pass with this team." Naruto answered.

"Stop trying to act like you know it all, Naruto-baka." Sakura preached.

Naruto turned his gaze to the fan-girl and released some ki from Kuruma, making Sakura knees to buckle down. Naruto turned back to Kakashi. "See, they just prove my point. This team is already looking like it's going to be a failure. But maybe they can learn from this. After all, we're a team so we got this." Naruto said.

Kakashi smiled at the blonde, even though his teammates didn't like him, he gave them a subtle hint. Kakashi walked to a post and put down a timer. "You have till noon to get a bell or you fail. Come at me with the intent to kill." Kakashi finished.

"But sensei, won't you get hurt?" Sakura asked.

"Don't worry about me. I'm a jonin, after all." Kakashi said before he felt something pointed to his neck. He slowly turned his head and saw Naruto behind him. 'Fast.' Kakashi thought. "Very impressive Naruto, but I didn't say go."

"Oh, I know sensei. I also know you're a shadow clone." Naruto retorted. Kakashi chuckled. "Go." the clone said before poofing away. The three jumped away in the surrounding trees. Naruto was on a branch, watching Kakashi reading a book. "Ok first, let me atleast try to see if they would work with me."

Flashback

"What is Naruto-kun bloodline Jiraiya?"? Sarutobi asked.

"It's called Koton released. It also gives him control over wind and lightning. He has the ability to enhance his physical and also mold the weapons from his chakra. There are still things we do not know about his abilities but with the right control, Naruto could become.."

Flashback end

"Hikari bunshin!" Naruto called out. Two light clones appear next to Naruto. "Go find the emo and his fan-girl."

"You sure boss. Knowing those two, they won't listen." one of the clones said.

"He's right, boss. I say forget those two." The other one agreed.

"Don't you think I know that, but we have to try. If worse comes to shove, I'll grab the bells and hand it to the others. But I'll let them try first." Naruto said. The clones nodded before disappearing to find the original teammates. 'I hope they cooperate.'

"They won't, but maybe they'll learn from you." Kuruma commented. Naruto signed and disappeared in a blinding light.

With Kakashi

Kakashi was in the middle of the field, reading his book and using his senses to search for his student. 'It would seem Naruto made clones to search for his team. So he did figure out the meaning. It would be a shame to fail him because of the other two. Huh, mind as well go find them.' Kakashi thought before disappearing.

Back with Naruto.

'Damn it, those two and their egos.' Naruto said facepalm himself. After the clones rejoined him, he learned that one went towards Sakura's location. She quickly denied his help and ranted about how she didn't need his help because she had her Sasuke-kun with her. Soon after the clone left, she was caught in a genjutsu, the clone broke her out but she still refused. Sasuke was no better, the reason for turning him down was because he believed Naruto was beneath him and would only slow him down. Soon after, the Uchiha challenged the jonin to a one vs one fight, where the Uchiha found himself buried from the neck down. "Ok you two I got a plan."

Naruto leaped into the opening and was staring down the jonin, who spared a look towards the blonde and gave him an eye-smile. "I guess it's your turn Naruto. to be honest I'm kinda excited. I feel some hidden potential. You being here by yourself means the other two didn't cooperate."

Naruto rubbed his temples and signed. "Yeah, I even helped them after you trapped them. Anyway can we start with ninjutsu?"

"Sure, why not." Kakashi replied. Naruto smiled and crossed his fingers. "Kage bunshin jutsu!" Naruto called making a clone. Kakashi was impressed, that was a B-rank jutsu most jonin had problem learning. Kakashi's eyes widened when both Naruto's went through two different hand signs. "Katon: Housenka no jutsu!" "Fuuton: Tatsumaki Wana!" Kakashi found himself in a swirling wind prison. He turned his attention towards Naruto's direction and saw small fireballs heading towards him. 'Shit.' was Kakashi's last thoughts before the fireballs hit the wind tornado creating a swirling flame destruction. Naruto's clone poofed away after expending his chakra. Naruto smirked and ducked from a kick, in the courtesy of Kakashi, he then jumped back.

"That was good naruto, combining a D-rank jutsu with a C-rank, creating a jutsu as strong as an A-rank. Anything else you would like to show your sensei?" Kakashi asked.

Naruto smiled and extended both his arms to his side, which confused the jonin. Then he was surprised when light began to gather in Naruto's palms. Naruto gripped the light and it formed into blades of light. "Karui ken." Naruto said before charging towards Kakashi, who pulled out a kunai and charged the blonde to meet him halfway.

Naruto swung the blade in his right hand at Kakashi, which was blocked by a kunai. As Kakashi held his place, he noticed Naruto's eyes were gold and his blade was slowly cutting his kunai. Kakashi kicked at Naruto but Naruto used his blades to block, burning the bottom of Kakashi's sandal. The jonin jumped away as Naruto chased after him. Naruto did a horizontal swing at Naruto, but Kakashi side stepped and threw a punch at Naruto's face. The blonde bent backwards and kicked Kakashi in the chest, sending him backwards. Naruto threw his blades at Kakashi, the jonin was prepared to jump but then he noticed the jerjectary of the blades was off.

In the trees, Naruto's other teammates were surprised at how strong he was. 'How is the dobe so strong, I couldn't scratch Kakashi-sensei but Naruto is fighting him as an equal.' Sasuke thought.

'Is that really Naruto? Wow, I guess he has changed since 7 years ago.' 'Yeah, but I bet Sasuke-kun can do better.' Sakura thought to herself.

Naruto waited for the blades to get closer to his sensei and smirks. "Kai!"The blades created a flash, blinding Kakashi. As soon as Kakashi was blind, Naruto's light clone appeared out of nowhere and snatched the bells and tossed it towards the blonde. "Got them Kakashi sensei." Naruto said, holding up the bells, as the timer went off.

"I guess you did, give me a minute. Still can't see here." Kakashi complained. After a few minutes, Kakashi's vision came back and noticed Sasuke glaring at Naruto, while Sakura looked ashamed. He ended up tying Sakura to a post, while Sasuke was still glaring at the blonde. He then turned to said blonde. "Naruto, earlier you said you knew the true meaning of the test. May you explain?"

Naruto nodded. "The true meaning of this test is teamwork, you were using the bells to drive us apart and it also helped that there never was a two man cell team. Also, the fact we're new genins, it's impossible to fight you one on one." Naruto answered.

"Good. as for you two." Sasuke and Sakura." the two flinch at the tone in Kakashi's voice. "I will not be sending you back to the academy." The two signed in relief. "Because you should give up becoming a shinobi." Sakura gasped and began to cry., while Sasuke charged Kakashi but didn't make it far cause he was pinned down by Kakashi sitting on his back. "Sasuke, you are the rookie of the year and a Uchiha but that doesn't make you unstoppable. Naruto came to you asking for help but because of your ego, you were ignored and defeated." Kakashi then turned his attention to Sakura. "Sakura you're by far the weakest on the team, you may have good grades but it will only get you so far. Naruto offered his help to you but you believed that Sasuke would help you pass and ignored him. Remember he's your teammate too." Kakashi tossed a kunai to Naruto. "Naruto, kill Sakura or Sasuke dies."

"How about I offer my own life." Naruto replied. Sasuke and Sakura were surprised at what Naruto said, while Kakashi's respect for the blonde went up even more."

"See, this is a good example of teamwork you need. Regardless of how you feel, you three are still comrades in arms. You're not kids anymore. Naruto and Sasuke, eat your lunch and whatever you do, don't feed Sakura. I'll be back to retest you but you'll get one more chance." Kakashi said before disappearing.

Naruto grabbed one of the bentos and walked towards Sakura and sat in front of her. "Here Sakura, I ate breakfast so you can have mine."

Sakura was surprised but shook her head. "But you'll get in trouble Naruto, don't worry about me."

"Hush, if you starve, you will be too tired to fight. I'll take the blame, so eat." Naruto ordered, holding a fork with a cutlet on it in front of the pinkette. Sakura hesitated for a while before taking a bite. Sasuke moved towards her and was about to offer but Naruto stopped him. "Sasuke you eat your own, like I said before, I ate and I'm good for a couple hours. So eat." Sasuke nodded and ate, while he fed Sakura.

A thunder cloud appeared and Kakashi approached the trio. "I told you not to feed Sakura. Do you have anything to say for yourself.?" Naruto kept quiet, he knew Kakashi expected the other two to speak.

"Kakashi-sensei, it wasn't Naruto's fault. He was just being a good teammate. Don't fail him, send me back to the academy." Sakura said.

"We are a team, we will not abandon each other. Naruto did the right thing." Sasuke intervenes. "If you are going to send anyone to the academy, let me go. Naruto deserves to be here, after all, he got the bells."

"Well if that's what you want, you all.." Kakashi said, narrowing his eyes as the thunder clouds boomed. "Pass." and then the sky was clear. Sasuke and Sakura were shocked again, while Naruto remained calm. "Sasuke and Naruto didn't abandon Sakura, if you didn't even try to feed Sakura, you would've failed. You are learning, which is good. Those who abandon their mission are scum, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum. Congratulations, today for forward on, we're team 7." The three genin cheered, well Naruto and Sakura did, Sasuke was silent. "You have the next two days off, see-ya."

Bandit camp

At a bandit near Kumo, Samui and her team were completing a C-rank mission where they had to eliminate a bandit camp. "Did you do this to these girls?" Samui asked, holding a bandit by the throat, while her teammates were a few feet behind her, quaking in fear. "I examined these girls, do you want to know what I found?" Samui asked, storm clouds forming above and white lightning appearing around her body. The other bandits' eyes widened, realizing who they were up against.

"You're her, white Byakko, the goddess of white lightning." Samui turned her gaze towards the one who spoke and narrowed her eyes, once blue but now glowing silver.

"You didn't answer my question but I will inform you of why you will die." Samui continued, causing the bandits to shiver at her tone. "I examined these girls and found they were drugged, raped and had rope burns on their skin. I hate many things in this world. Perverts who think of girls as nothing but toys, weaklings with a higher bark, abusers who bully the weak because they think they're strong but most of all, I hate rapists!" As Samui finished her sentence, the white lightning above her took the shape of a tiger and struck the bandits, killing in an instant. "So uncool."

Samui dropped to one knee, trying to catch her breath, while her team rushed to her. "Damn Samui, control your anger. Every time you do that, you suffer from chakra exhaustion. I hate it if you die and leave me with this idiot." Karui said, pointing towards Omoi.

"Chill Karui, let's report back to Bee-sensei." Omoi said, standing up and turning to his blonde teammate. "Can you stand?"

"Yeah, let's head out." Samui leapt through the trees with his two teammates behind. She was still upset at the female dead bodies. How could men treat women like they're disposable and toys. One of Samui dreams was to build a family and start a clan with her white lightning but these men around her were destroying that dream. Guys from the village all wanted her because of her look, they halved ass everything or they were just weak. Her mother told her that you could learn a lot from a man from their eyes. 'There is a man out there that's worth a million, hopefully someone who has the eyes of what kaa-san said before she passed.' her mom said, when I look into his eyes, I'll feel a warm sensation in my heart.
