Inuyasha: w00t!
Me: Wow,it's been a while. I haven't wrote one of these in foreva, yo.
Inuyasha: I missed you (sad face)
Me: I missed you too!(happy face) and I am happy to inform, during my extremely long absence, I have gotten into 2 more animes!
Inuyasha: WHAT!
Me: The first one is Elfen Lied, a more mature sort of anime, although Inuyasha is still a mature themed anime..
Inuyasha: BOOBIES.
Me: …Elfen Lied is more. It's also short and dramatic and solumn. It's excellent. Check it out!
Inuyasha: So……..what was the other one….?
Me: NARUTO!

Naruto: Hey! HEY!
Sasuke: What are we doing here? (cool stance)
Me: Wow, I am such a whore. SASUKE I LOVE YOU.
Sasuke: Umm……
Inuyasha: HEY! She just proclaimed her love! THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS EVERYDAY!
Naruto: w00t! (blush)
Me: Pfft. Fine. I can leave one boy behind. I have Naruto and Inuyasha!(hearts) Besides, I pick on you in this story Sasuke.
Sasuke: o.o
Me: YEYUH. This is my first Naruto story! ENJOY!
Naruto/Inuyasha: RAMEN!
Please Note: I just started watching Naruto, I am at about episode 70, so I don't know the whole story and how it is plotted, so if I get facts wrong, or if my events seem impossible, LET IT GO.
"Time to eat!" Naruto exclaimed happily as he dug into his bowl of ramen. It was the first time he has shown Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei to his favourite ramen stand. Of course, he enjoyed the ramen as usual, but Sasuke and Sakura simply ate their noodles in silence, though with a look of satisfaction. Naruto nodded to himself. This was indeed the best ramen you could ever have.
"Oy, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked, raising an eyebrow towards his superior. "Aren't you going to eat your ramen?"
Kakashi looked at Naruto, then down at his noodles. He shook his head and smiled. "Nah. Go ahead and finish it off for me Naruto."
Naruto nodded aimlessly. "ALRIGHT!" and he lifted the bowl at his face and started slurping away. Once the bowl was lowered after gulping down all the noodles, he saw a very irritated Sakura and Sasuke. Sasuke's eyes were twitching and Sakura gagged.
"That's DISGUISTING!" she exclaimed as she knocked him over the head. "The rest of us want to eat too!" she looked over at Kakashi. He won't even take off his mask to eat.. she thought to herself, then looked back at Naruto. "If this is how you're going to be for the rest of your life everytime you eat, I'll never come with you here again!" she spat and turned away.
"WHAT?" Naruto exclaimed. "This place is amazing. You lie if you say you never want to come here ever again." He said.
Sakura resumed her noodle eating. "It's not that good, Naruto." She said coldly. Naruto gasped as he was knocked off of his seat.
Inner Sakura: OH MY GOD! IT'S SO DELISCIOUS! I'M GOING TO COME HERE ALL THE TIME! HELL YEAH!
Sakura turned her head to the side. "Hey Sasuke-kun, how are your noodles?" she asked happily, too happily. Naruto glared at him as he kept stuffing the noodles into his mouth.
"Fine." He said coolly as he politely finished off his ramen.
Sakura sighed hopelessly. Does he open up to anyone? Especially after all that we've been through?
Kakashi snapped his fingers. "Oh right. Now would be a good time to tell you all."
The three of them stopped eating and looked at him.
"Tell us what? Huh? Huh? Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked persistently.
Kakashi turned around in his seat to look the three of them in the eye. "It's something new the Konoha Ninja Academy is trying." He started to explain. "As you know, you three are no longer rookies. You've graduated well over a year ago, and therefore, a new team of rookies have graduated and have been assembled into teams and have gone on missions." He eyed Naruto to make sure he was following along.
Naruto looked at him with lazy eyes, then snapped them open. "Hey, HEY! I'm not stupid, I can understand what you're saying! It's not THAT complicated!"
Kakashi did not respond, as he continued what he was saying.
"As I was saying, the Konoha Ninja Academy is trying a new training program. As you know, rookies complete missions after graduation. But this year, instead of missions, they are going with the graduates for extra intense training."
"What?" Sakura said. "So you're saying that we're going to help train some rookie kids?"
Kakashi shook his head. "No. It would be too much of a lucky break if all the rookies got to take it easy and skip out on missions. So the only rookies that will be training along with the teams your level would be the super advanced rookies. So you guys will have to step up to the plate, and decide if you want to take the job."
"But, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said blindly. "This is a big deal. How long have you known about this for?"
Kakashi shrugged. "I would say a good…month?"
"WHATTTTT?" Naruto and Sakura shrieked. "AND YOU'VE ONLY DECIDED TO TELL US NOW!"
Kakashi smiled innocently. "It slipped my mind." Then his face stiffened. "So, what do you say?"
Naruto and Sakura calmed down and shrugged. "It doesn't sound that bad." Sakura murmured.
"Hey! This is a fun opportunity to beat up kids! HAHAHAHA!" Naruto laughed hysterically.
"They're only a year younger than you!" Sakura snapped. "Remember how you beat Neji?"
Naruto stopped laughing, he crossed his arms and nodded. "True, you have a point Sakura." Then he stared at her. "But."
"But what?"
Naruto thrust his hand forward with his finger shaped in a peace sign. "That's only because I'm awesome!" he said, winking.
"LOSER." Sakura screamed, elbowing his head.
Kakashi sweatdropped and looked over at Sasuke. "What do you say?"
Sasuke shrugged. "It sounds like something to kill time with." He said softly.
Kakashi clapped his hands together. "It's good that you approve Sasuke. Because I have a treat for you." Sasuke looked up at him, his face drained of emotion. "The team that was paired up with us contains this year's number one rookie!"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. For the first time in a long time, they seemed to gleam.
"WAIT A SECOND!" Naruto screamed, horrified. "You already agreed to getting paired up before you told us?"
"Well I guess you could say that." Kakashi said, coolly.
"What if we had disagreed to this?" Sakura asked.
Kakashi looked away and pulled out his "flirting paradise" book. "I would have forced you to stick with the program."
Naruto and Sakura's jaws dropped to the ground, then they started to bicker endlessly while Kakashi continued to enjoy his R rated book.
Sasuke chuckled softly. Number one rookie, huh? He thought to himself. This may not be such a kill-time activity after all. It might actually prove something. I wonder what the guys special jitsu is. But then again, he might just be the top rookie because there was no one better. His eyes widened. Or maybe he's the top rookie because he's worthy of the title. He stared at the table. Either way, I'm going to end up fighting this guy. It sounds fun.
Kakashi stood up and paid the bill. "Well, I guess we should all be off."
Naruto looked up at him with suspicious eyes. "How come? Huh, huh, Kakashi-sensei?"
Kakashi smiled. "Why Naruto, we have to greet the rookie team we're going to train along, don't we?"
Sakura and Naruto burst again. "WHATT? SO SOON? WHY DID YOU JUST TELL US THIS LAST MINUTE?"
"Slipped my mind."
"EVERYTHING SLIPS YOUR MIND, DOESN'T IT?"
"I'm sorry, you were saying something?"
"UNBELIEVABLE!"
Sasuke stood up. "Let's go." He muttered. And he walked to Kakashi. "Lead the way." Sakura and Naruto stopped yelling. Kakashi nodded and started walking, while the other three followed him.
They walked until they fit the forest. Kakashi looked around for a spot, and led the team there and they waited.
About 10 minutes later, the wind started to pick up. It was fall now, and the leaves in the forest were making good progress as to baring the trees naked. Kakashi looked up at the leaves fluttering to the ground slowly, most of them hovered in the air, as if floating. His eyes narrowed as he noticed a few leaves floating towards them, then angled themselves, and flew sharply at the ground.
Kakashi and the team jumped back. They looked at the ground where the leaves had hit and the leaves dug into the ground as if they were razors. He smiled. "It's good to see you, Yuki."
And with that, the four leaves transformed into four different people. One of them was a tall woman with flowing dark, chocolaty hair, brushed to the side with Konoha forehead protector wrapped around her head. She wore the same Jounin vest that Kakashi had and the same pants but they were ripped higher up and make to seem like shorts with bandages covering her leg and a pouch tied to her leg. There were 2 other boys. One of them had black hair with long bangs, giving him a look of mystery. He eyed the group. He whore his forehead protector around his neck. He kept silent as he stuck his hands in his pockets. The other boy was shorter with a goofy, yet fun face expression. He had longer brown hair that he wore in a small ponytail and had his forehead protector right on his forehead. Lastly, there was a girl. She had very long black hair that she wore in a high ponytail and hair dangling by her ears. Her bangs were evenly cut with a middle part and she had her forehead protector right on her forehead as well. She had what seemed like a cloth connecting from ear to ear, hanging freely, covering her nose and mouth and she appeared to be wearing mostly black.
"Hatake-san." The jounin woman greeted kindly. "It has been too long, hasn't it?" she looked him up and down. "You have appeared to grow stronger since we last met. I am impressed." She looked at him and smiled.
Kakashi returned the smile. "Here we are." He said softly. "Can you believe it?"
The woman, Yuki, shook her head. "Unbelievable. Our dream came true. And I would have never thought that I would meet up with you like this." She said slyly. She patted his shoulder slowly and softly. "But it's the present and we have some rookies to train!" she said happily. "This is my team." She pointed to the tall boy with the long bangs. "That is Kondo Rokuro."
Sasuke studied Rokuro. That's probably the guy. This year's number one rookie. He does look impressive. He reminds me of myself. That has to be the guy. It can't be anyone else. Sasuke glanced at him as Rokuro returned the glance, then looked back at his sensei, giving out introductions.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. I can't wait to fight him.
She pointed to the smaller, goofy boy. "That is Okamoto Yuji." The goofy boy waved without hesitation. "I am Yuji! I may seem to be a shrimp, but I can DEFINITELY take you on, so never underestimate me!" he shouted bravely.
Sakura leaned over to Naruto. "His personality definitely seems familiar." She said ignorantly.
Naruto grunted. "That boy is nothing like me. He's making himself look like an idiot." He crossed his arms and looked away. Sakura started cracking his knuckles.
You've got to be kidding me!
She looked up and saw Rokuro looking directly at her with his dark eyes. Her jaw dropped and she started to blush madly as she looked the other way with an overly large smile on her face and wide eyes.
Ohhhh. He's cuteeee! He may even be cuter than Sasuke! He has the same eyes as him too. Oh, oh, he was looking right at me! I hope he didn't see me making those faces at Naruto! This is probably the number one rookie Kakashi-sensei was talking about.
Inner Sakura: IT'S TIME TO LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF MY PAST! I'M GOING TO SNAG THIS BOY FOR SURE THIS TIME!
Yuki then turned around and pointed to the masked girl. She opened her mouth to talk, but the girl beat her to it.
"My name is Miyazaki Kikyou. This year's number one rookie."
