The Story Begins!

Episode(s): 1, 3

It's been a few years since everything has happened.

Hana is a Chunin but now works as a medic-nin. Haruka is a Jounin and is hoping to get a team soon.

Haruka now had her long dark brown hair that went past her butt, always parted to the left. Dark colored eyes. Purple tight shirt with her clan symbol that stopped right before her bellybutton and accented her double D breast, a black skirt that stopped mid-thigh with fishnets that stopped right before her knee, the standard ninja shoes in black and with a small heel, her headband around her forehead, and nails painted black.

Sasuke and Michiru have trained with Haruka since then. They have yet to unlock the Sharingan but have worked on other Clan jutsus.

Usagi, Ami, Rei, Shikamaru, Michiru, Sasuke, Choji, and Kiba are all still friends. They train together, when they can get Shikamaru to do something, and simply hang out together. They can even be spotted with Hana and Haruka at times.

They even managed to add Ino to their group since her dad was friends with Shikaku. At first, she was a brat, but after a while, and a pissed of Haruka, she calmed down.

Today, though, the younger kids where in school. Tomorrow they would be tested to become Genin. They were all hopeful that they would somehow end up on teams together.

"Where's Iruka-Sensei?" asked Michiru from where she sat next to Sasuke in the back row. Her blackish-blue hair was up in a ponytail, like Ino, keeping it from her dark eyes. A black dress with her clan symbol on the back and that stopped a few inches past her knee. Black pants with dark blue ninja shoes.

The desk held two people each.

"Probably trying to find Naruto," said Kiba from where he sat at the desk to her right with Choji, who was eating.

"I wonder what he did this time?" asked Ami from where she sat in front of Kiba, next to Usagi who was laughing. Her blue hair went to mid back with bangs sweeping to cover her left eye. She wore dark blue jacket with bird designs at the bottom, over a white shirt. Her shorts stopped at her knee and where gray in color. She also had dark blue ninja shoes.

Usagi had her long blond hair in a braid down to her mid back. A red shirt that hand an angel wing design on the back, black skirt with wrappings that covered her legs, and dark blue ninja shoes.

"Hopefully it's something good," said Ino from where she stood next to Rei. Her original seat was in front of Rei, but she was having fun watching her mess with Shikamaru.

"We'll hear about it later," said Rei from in front of Sasuke, poking Shikamaru who was asleep next to her. Ino telling her to write on his face. They had done it enough times to know that he wouldn't wake up while they did it.

Rei had her dark purple hair that stopped mid-back and was kept in a braid. A black crop top with fishnet underneath that covered her stomach. Black shorts that reached mid-thigh and black ninja shoes.

"Looks like they're back," said Kiba after he sniffed the air.

Iruka came in with Naruto, who was tied up, causing the children to go silent and Ino to go back to her seat. He put him on the ground at the front of the classroom.

"I'm at the end of my rope, Naruto. You failed the graduation test last time and the time before that," said Iruka as he lectured at Naruto. "Tomorrow you've got another chance, and you're messing up again."

Naruto just grunted, pissing off Iruka. He then turned to the other students.

"Fine! Because you missed it, Naruto, everyone will review the Transformation jutsu!" yelled Iruka causing the students to grown.

"I'm gonna kill him," said Shikamaru as he woke up from Iruka's yelling.

"Is that before or after you fall asleep again?" asked Sasuke with a raised eyebrow.

"Good question," said Michiru as Shikamaru glared at them. The others in their group laughed. They then all got up and stood in line.

After a few minutes of people trying their transformation jutsu, it was Sakura's turn. None in the group really liked her. Even when Ino stopped liking Sasuke, Sakura demanded that she stop being friends with Sasuke and even started talking and about the other girls in the group. Ino decided that it wasn't worth the problem and that she actually liked her weird dysfunctional group, so she stopped being friends with Sakura.

"Alright, Sakura here. Let's go! Transform!" said Sakura as she turned into a copy of Iruka.

"You transformed into me," said Iruka, unimpressed, though he did have a smile. "Good"

Sakura then transformed back and turned to Sasuke with a squeal.

"Yes, I did it!" she said with a giggle.

'When is that girl going to learn?' thought Rei as she leaned on Shikamaru who simply grunted at her weight.

"Sasuke, did you see that?" asked Sakura. Sasuke just ignored her.

"Next, Sasuke Uchiha," said Iruka as he tried to get Sakura to stop. Sasuke quickly transformed into Iruka. "Right, good. Next, Naruto Uzumaki."

"This is a total waste of time, Naruto," said Shikamaru, annoyed.

"We always pay for your screw ups," complained Ino.

"Like I care," said Naruto as he went forward. He went to perform the Transformation jutsu, only to change it to one he created, causing him to turn into an attractive naked women. Iruka had blood shoot out of his nose while the girls looked shocked and the boys looked a cross between shocked and wondering if the other girls would look that way.

'It would be troublesome,' thought Shikamaru as he looked at Rei with a light blush.

After Iruka got over his shock, he yelled at Naruto and dismissed the students, allowing them to go home.

~The Next Day~

"We will now start the final exam. When your name is called, proceed to the testing room. The final test will be on the clone jutsu," said Iruka as he looked at the names of the students in the class. He then started to call the first kid.

"This is exciting!" said Usagi from where she sat in the back to Sasuke's right, Michiru on his left.

"We've trained hard, so it shouldn't be a problem!" said Kiba from where he sat at the desk to Michiru's left. Choji was at his left and Ami to Choji's left.

"It's still a drag," complained Shikamaru from in front of Michiru. Rei on his right and Ino to her right.

"Best of luck, everyone," said Rei to the others with a smile. The others smiled or smirked in return.

~The Next Day~

"We did it!" said Usagi who had her headband around her waist like Ino.

"I know!" said Ami who had hers around her forehead, Michiru also had hers around her forehead.

"How should I wear mine?" asked Rei as she looked at her headband.

"Troublesome," said Shikamaru as he walked up to her and tied hers around her arm, like his. "Done."

"It works," said Sasuke as he smirked at Shikamaru, making said boy blush and look away. Choji and Kiba laughed.

Their group had made it to the academy early to make sure that Sasuke and Michiru didn't have to sit next to any of their crazy fans. Sasuke sat next to a window, Michiru to his right, and Ami to her right. Usagi sat behind Sasuke, Ino to her right, and Kiba to Ino's right. Choji sat behind Usagi, Shikamaru next to him, and Rei next to Shikamaru.

After some time, some of the other students came in, and too the small groups surprise, Shikamaru got up to walk to Naruto.

"Shika?" questioned Rei in shock. 'Where is he going?'

"What are you doing here, Naruto?" asked Shikamaru as he stopped next to Naruto who was sitting in front of Ami. "This isn't for dropouts. You can't be here unless you graduate."

"Shikamaru, you do see that he has a headband on, right?" asked Rei as she walked up to her friend, causing said boy to blush in embarrassment. The girls in their group giggled to themselves, though Shikamaru heard them.

'What a drag.'

"Yeah! Do you see this, Shikamaru, Do you see this?" said Naruto as he pointed at his headband. "Open your eyes, Shikamaru. It's a regulation headband. We're going to be training together, how do you like that?"

"Hm," grunted Shikamaru as he looked away.

"Let me put it this way, I look great in this headgear, like it was made for me," said Naruto with a laugh.

Not even a minute later, Sakura ran into the room. She then started to pant, tired from running. She glared at Ino.

"Looks like she still doesn't like you," laughed Rei as she and Shikamaru walked back to their seats.

"Just ignore her," said Sasuke as he glanced at his friend.

"Sasuke is right," said Michiru with a smile.

Sakura ran to Sasuke's row.

'Here we go,' thought the friends with a sigh.

"Good morning, Sasuke," she said as she ignored Michiru and Ami who were also in the row. Though she did glare at Michiru who was sitting next to Sasuke. Sasuke simply glared at the pink hair girl in anger.

"Mind if I sit next to you?" asked Sakura.

"Can't you see that I'm already here?" said Michiru with an eyebrow twitch.

"Her forehead is so big, her face has no room for her eyes," said Ino, making the others laugh and Sakura glare.

"I didn't ask you!" said Sakura to Michiru.

"I got here before you did," said a random girl as more came over to talk about

They watched as the girls yelled at each other about who would sit next to Sasuke, causing the group of friends to glare in annoyance.

"What is Naruto doing?" questioned Kiba, causing the others to turn and see Naruto crouched on Sasuke's desk, a few inches away from his face.

"This is gonna be funny," said Rei with a smirk, Shikamaru just grunted.

"Naruto! Stop glaring at Sasuke!" yelled Sakura as she and the other girls glared. Naruto looked at her, then back to Sasuke. Sasuke simply looked at him, uncaringly. They seemed to have electricity going in between their eyes.

"Oh shit," said Kiba with wide eyes as he and the others watched Naruto fall forward and kiss Sasuke.

"What the?" asked Sakura in shock as the two boys stared at each other in horror, lips still connected.

"This is great!" laughed Kiba as the rest of their group laughed as well.

The two boys broke apart and started to cough. Rei passed her water bottle to Ino, who passed it to Michiru, who gave it to Sasuke. Sasuke drank water and spit it back out.

"I will get you, Naruto," said Sasuke as he rinsed out his mouth, Michiru patting his back.

"Naruto! You are so dead!" yelled Sakura as she and the other girls attacked Naruto.

After some violence, and Choji handing Sasuke a bag of chips to get the taste out of his mouth, Iruka came in and addressed the students.

"As of today, you are all ninja," he said with a smile, causing the Genin to smile too. "To get here, you faced difficult trials and hardships. But that's nothing. What comes next will be all the more difficult. Now, you are only Genin – first level ninjas. All the Genin will be grouped into three-man squads. Each squad will be led by a Jounin – an elite ninja."

"Obviously, I'm going to be in Sasuke's group," said Sakura with a smirk toward Ino, who simply raised her eyebrow.

"And I care because?" asked Ino, causing some of her friends to snicker.

"I wonder how they will group us?" asked Rei, causing some of her friends to look at her. Shikamaru just sighed.

"What a drag."

'As long as I'm with one of my friends, this should turn out fine,' thought Rei as she turned to Shikamaru with a smile. He gave her a lazy smile back.

"We want ever squad to have a balance of strength and abilities, so that's how we set them up," said Iruka, answering Rei's question. "I will now announce the squads."

The friends listen for a while, but they had yet to be called.

"Squad seven: Naruto Uzumaki, Usagi Tenshi, and Sasuke Uchiha," said Iruka. Usagi turned to Sasuke.

"At least it's not a fangirl?" said Usagi uncertainly. Sasuke looked at her, then Naruto, then Sakura. He nodded.

"Next, squad eight: Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame."

"No fair," said Kiba as he looked at his friends who only smiled, or smirked, at him.

"Squad nine: Rei Kumori, Michiru Uchiha, and Ami Sora."

"Yes!" said the three girls together, Ino just laughed.

"Squad ten: Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi."

"Another three for three," laughed Ino.

"Iruka-sensei," said Naruto as he stood up and pointed at Sasuke, "why does a great ninja like me have to be in the same group with a slug like Sasuke?"

Sakura and the other girls glared at him, annoyed.

"Hm. Sasuke had the best scores, along with Michiru, of all the graduating students. Naruto, you had the worst scores," said Iruka with a look, causing the other students to laugh. "To create a balanced group, we put the best student with the worst student."

"Just make sure you don't get in my way, loser," said Sasuke as Michiru and Usagi got sweat drops.

"Hey, what did you say?" said a pissed off Naruto.

"Hard of hearing?" asked Sasuke.

"Knock it off, Naruto! Sit down!" said Sakura.

"After lunch, you'll meet your new Jounin teachers. Until then, class dismissed," said Iruka, causing the students to get up.

"We should all go eat together!" said Ino.

"As much as I want to, I think I'll go get to know my team," said Kiba with a sigh as he got up. He walked toward Hinata and Shino and left with them.

"The rest of us can eat together," said Rei as Ami and Michiru walked up to Ino, who was standing with Choji and Shikamaru.

"We can to! I can get Naruto," said Usagi as she and Sasuke walked up to them.

"That should be fine. My mom made a bunch of rice balls we can eat," said Rei with a smile.

"Yum!" said Choji.

"Poor Kiba," giggled Michiru.

"We will meet you were we normally eat," said Ino as she looked around. "There he is!"

The group turned to see Naruto looked at one of the desk, sad.

"Naruto! Come on! We're going to go eat with some of the other team!" said Usagi, causing said boy to look at them in shock.

"Rei's mom even made rice balls!" said Choji with a grin. Naruto grinned back and ran to them.

"Let's go eat!" said Naruto happily.

The group walked out onto the roof. Sitting in a circle. Sasuke, Usagi, Naruto, Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, Rei, Ami, Michiru. Rei passed out the food and they talked about who they thought their Sensei would be.

"I hope its someone strong!" said Naruto.

"They're Jonin, they're supposed to be strong," said Shikamaru as he laid on his back with his eyes closed.

"Don't go to sleep!" yelled Ino and Usagi, causing him to sigh and the others to laugh. He sat up and took some food Rei offered him.

"What a drag," he said as he took a bite of his food.

"Poor Shika, no one will let you sleep," laughed Rei, causing the others to laugh od chuckle.

"Like he doesn't sleep enough?" asked Sasuke with a smirk.

"Shut up," said Shikamaru as he glared at the Uchiha boy and shot a quick glance toward Michiru. "At least I don't play hard to get just to impress someone."

"At least I don't fall asleep so that I can dream about her all day," said Sasuke with a light blush and a glare. He had shot a quick glance toward Rei, causing Shikamaru to also have a light blush.

"Are you sure it's a girl? He and Naruto seemed pretty good earlier," snickered Ino, causing the others to laugh as the two boys blushed and then glared at each other.

"I'm so happy that all of us have great teams," said Ami with a smile, causing the others to smile at her, or smirk.

"Yes, a team with friends!" said Usagi as she put her hands on Sasuke's and Naruto's shoulders, causing Naruto to look at her in shock.

"Friends?" asked Naruto as he started at her.

"Of course!" said Ami with a grin. Naruto looked at everyone else as they smiled or smirked at him. He then broke into a big grin.

"YEAH!" he yelled in happiness.

"To bad Kiba isn't here," said Choji as he continued to eat.

"Next time," said Michiru with a smile.

"There's a next time? What a drag," said Shikamaru, causing the others to laugh.

"Anyway, lunch is up," said Ino as she stood up, causing the others to stand as well.

The group walked back to the classroom while laughing and talking about random things.

Once back in the classroom, they sat by teams, laughing and joking the entire time. Sakura and some of the other girls glared at Usagi who sat next to Sasuke.

"Well then, boys," said Rei with a smirk from where she sat behind Usagi, "looks like you guys might have to protect Usagi from the Sasuke Fanclub."

"Fuck," said Sasuke as he looked scared. The others laughed.

"Michiru, they're trying to steal your boyfriend!" said Ino, causing the two Uchiha to blush.

"Now, now, let's not pick on them," said Usagi with a chuckle.

The group continued to laugh as they waited for their teams.
