Graduation

"I can do this, I can do this, I can do this," were the thoughts going through Naru's head.

The girl stood in front of her Chunin instructors getting ready to do the final test to become a Genin. The Genin test was a little harder than it had been the first time; were in her previous life, she was only required to perform the three standard Jutsu this time, she had to perform the three Jutsu but also land a hit on her Chunin instructors.

Naru took a deep breath and then signaled to the proctor that she was ready to begin. The proctor nodded and then yelled Hajime!

Twenty Minutes later, Naru walked out the academy doors with a shiny Hitaiate around her forehead.

As she stepped out of the academy, her friends were waiting for her. Kakashi, who was also supporting a new Hitaiate, congratulated her first he was relieved Naru had graduated the same time he did, so he wasn't the only five years old on a team.

The second one to graduate her was Anko, and then Rin, the only one not happy about Kakashi and Naru graduating was Obito.

Naru frowned, not happy seeing him upset, "Don't be upset Obito. I'm sure if you keep up your hard work, you'll graduate soon," she said.

Kakashi chimed in, "Yeah, keep up the hard work, and you'll be a Genin in no time," he said.

Obito gave him a surprised look while Naru gave him a knowing one.

"They're right you know, just keep working hard," a voice said from behind them.

"DAD," Kakashi yelled in surprise, running up to him.

Sakumo gave his son a tentative smile, "Congratulations son, I'm proud of you. You too Naru," he said.

Naru smiled at him, "Thank you, Hatake San," she said.

The young girl was pleased that her efforts to save Sakumo had been successful; the mission had gone better than planned apparently, thanks to the combined efforts of Minato and Sakumo.

Although Naru didn't know the mission details, she had gathered that the events had played out much the same as her previous life; however, with Minato being there, Sakumo had managed to not only successfully complete his mission, but he was able to save his comrades too.

The older Hatake along with Minato was now held as heroes, and although, this hadn't completely ended the war it had taken a major player out of the game, Iwa.

Naru was hoping that this would help her team avoid Obito's demise later.

The fact that Sakumo was now held as a hero who saved his comrades instead of being ostracized had also lead to an attitude change in Kakashi; the boy was now a firm believer in putting your comrades first, a fact that pleased not just Naru but Sakumo as well.

Naru was hopeful this change would benefit Kakashi later on in his life. "I'm sure it will kit," Kurama said inside her mind, making her smile.

Naru was interrupted from answering him, by Kakashi asking her to join his dad and him for lunch. She grinned happy, to see her former sensei so happy.

Author's note: Did you think I would just leave you hanging? Please tell me what you think. Also, I add a little side story of Minato and Kushina having a celebration with Naru and Kakashi.
