A Lion's Roar

by swagmoney5

Being reincarnated is an interesting life story, when a child from our world is reborn as Hinata Hyuga, she decided to get off of her ass and give her shot at being a hero. When you have too much knowledge and too much time, the only option is to train and become stronger and to make those around her stronger as well. Survival of the fittest and she wants to help everyone survive.

8. My Sensei: Our version of the bell test

I woke up slightly weary of today. Shisui knew right away, and began to try to calm my nerves.

"Don't worry about going home, they fixed it, everything will be ok."

"Yeah, I'm just scared, what if he hates me. I want him and Hanabi to be close, what if nothing's changed." Sasuke walked in as I finished my statement and we both halted our conversation. He looked between us, but decided to ignore the tension.

"Lets go, I'll take you home. Shisui-nii stay here and wait for me if you need help please." Little Sasuke commanded. Shisui nodded and grinned widely giving a thumbs up.

"Hai Sasu-chan. I'll wait for you to take care of me." He teased. "Bye Imouto, everything will be ok, I'll see you later. Get it, see you later." I groaned at his joke on himself but couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt when he reminded us he was blind.

"Lame joke Shisui-nii." I kissed his cheek and left to the home I've avoided for so long. I walked through the compound greeting the people as I moved through. They bowed to me out of respect and welcomed me back. Each step I took, my nerves filled my body more. I fidgeted with the end of my shirt and tried to keep a brave face. I made it to the branch area and picked up Hanabi. We walked together for the final stretch.

"Nee-chan I'm going to see Otousan. Do wou think he will wike my dress?" She looked up at me with her innocent lavender eyes and her round face was full of hope.

"Hai. He is going to love your dress even if he doesn't say it. You look beautiful hime, so much like mother." I said patting her brown hair with a smile that I hope covered up my uncertainty. She beamed up at me and began to skip to our house. We rounded the corner and waiting at the front was father. I stood there, his gaze was on Hanabi until our eyes met and we stared each other down. I saw the slight grimace, and carefully analized his eyes. First sign of trouble and I'll make Hanabi leave. I looked into his eyes as he looked into mine, instead of the pain and disgust I saw after mother's death, his eyes filled with different emotions: guilt, sorrow, pain, love, and so many more. Knowing he no longer hated the sight of Hanabi, and wasn't going to hurt me, I let go of Hanabi's hand and ran towards father, tears stinging my eyes. Before he could even register what was happening, I was in his arms clinging to him as I cried in happiness. He tucked his head into my shoulder and breathed in.

"Hinata-hime I am sorry. I am so sorry. I'm a terrible father, forgive me. I just wanted you to be strong so you wouldn't end up like her. I'm sorry." He whispered to me. I clung tighter, his large body holding mine tightly.

"It's ok daddy, I'm not mad. I forgive you." He put me down and relief washed over him. "But there is somebody else that you have to speak with." He looked back towards Hanabi's small 2 year old self. He looked pained to see her, but I could see the love he has for her too. I nodded to Hanabi and made a motion for her to come here. I could see the skip in her step as she came over. Using all of the lessons from Mikoto, she was perfect mannered. She bowed and smiled.

"Hello Otou-sama, I'm Hanabi. I'm happy to mweet you." He looked pleased with her manners and he gave me a look of surprise, knowing I was and never will be the perfect lady like she is already becoming. He put a hand on her head.

"Rise daughter. We are going to eat and I will get to know you." Hanabi smiled at him brightly and we both could see so much of mom in her. Instead of being sad though, father felt happy that his daughter could be so much like the woman he loved. Unknown to me, he decided Hanabi would be the princess of our family, she is not a prodigy so she will not be forced into the same type of training I was, instead will be groomed to be a proper woman. All of the stress I felt was gone and I felt happier than I have in years. My family is together for the first time, my sister is growing up to be such a kind yet proper woman and my father is finally back to his cold and loving self. (AN: Hanabi is going to be different b/c if Hinata was different and the family dynamic is different, she will be too. Also being with the woman of women Mikoto made her more of a girly lady kunoichi than a full out ninja like Hinata is going to be)

After spending the previous day with my family, I was able to return to the academy. I've missed almost 2 months, but since I could have graduated based on skill already, nobody thought to hold me back or get me a tutor.

I walked into the classroom and all of the student's there had their eyes turned to me in surprise at my sudden return. Whispers went around about what happened to me and many of the student's looked to me in pity, a look I hated. Iruka-sensei welcomed me back, his eyes were full of understanding and respect instead of pity. I gave him a smile, we are on better terms since Naruto told me he took him for ramen. I was going to make my way to the back of the class when I was tackled to the ground with the sound of a boisterous "Hinata-chan you're back dattebayo" from my favorite fox-boy. I couldn't help but laugh at the welcome, it made me feel a bit more whole being back here with my friends, not stuck in a hospital.

"Damn straight I am. Now get the off me blondie, you're heavy." Naruto was not so kindly kicked off of me by Kiba. He ignored Naruto's shout as he hit the ground and hoisted me into the air.

"Finally, Akamaru's missed you in class, it's boring with only the blonde idiot as entertainment." I reached my hand up and pet Akamaru cooing at him. Iruka-sensei cleared his throat making us walk to our seats, on my way I gave a quick hug to Shika, making him call me troublesome. I made it to my seat and said hi to Sasuke. Trying to keep his jerk face act, he just gave me a "Hn" but scooted his chair closer to mine. The physical training part of class today was sparring. I was picked to spar against Kiba, Sasuke and Naruto sparred against each other. It was a murder, Sasuke fought with a ferocity I've never seen him use before.

He demolished Naruto, who was holding back, but still it wasn't pretty. When it was my turn for a spar, I lined up across from Kiba and ended it in two moves, when I wanted to fight, I couldn't help but think of losing to Itachi and I didn't want our spar to last any more so I finished it before running away. I sat in the corner of the classroom and tried to catch my breath, instead i kept getting flashes of the kunai stabbing me into the wall. I didn't notice, but it really was traumatizing when I almost died again, and this time it was by someone I cared about. I was hyperventelating when the classroom door opened and Sasuke walked in. He ran right up to me and held me helping me calm down by whispering "It's ok" in my ear. I felt my breathing slowing down and the rest of the boys along with Iruka-sensei, who left Mizuki with his class, came in. They came over to me and huddled around me. Naruto grabbed one of my hands and Shika sat next to me watching me closely.

"Are you ok Hinata-san? Do you want to talk with me about it?" Iruka-sensei said in a gentle and worried tone. I looked up at him and grinned.

"Sorry about that Iruka-sensei, I'm fine, it was just a small freak out. I'm good now." SHikamaru slapped my head.

"Don't lie to us, you had a panic attack, you were afraid the question is why." I hung my head in shame of being such a weak person. If I cant spar, whats to say I'll become a ninja at all.

"It's fine Hinata-chan, we all are scared of stuff. I'll help you get over your fear. Can't have one of my rivals be too weak to fight me dattebayo." NAruto gave me a big hug, pushing Sasuke away from me. I giggled at the glares they were sharing.

"Before the class comes back, talking about why you were so afraid will help you get over it. You can tell us." Iruka-sensei said, talking to me like a fragile doll. Damn it, I have to get over this.

"Yeah Hinata-chan, I'm here to listen" Choji said. I got a chorus of "yeah's" so I decided to tell them everything. It was dead silent when I finished my story. Everyone except Sasuke was looking at me wide eyed. Iruka-sensei kicked everyone out, they all gave me various hugs for goodbye, and it was just us left.

"Hinata-chan, you have been through a lot of trauma for such a young girl, your parents and now this. After school, Lady Seiko and I are going to work with you to move past this. You are a strong girl and will be a great Kunoichi. I'm not going to let this hold you back." I jumped up and gave Iruka-sensei a big hug.

I finally made it to Kunoichi class and I'm so excited. I haven't got to talk to Lady Seiko in a while and as much as I hate the girly stuff, she is pretty cool. Plus I want her to teach me how to be so intimidating.

"Lady Seiko I'm baackkk!" I shouted running up to her to hug her. She put her hand out and I stopped right before I hugged her. She knelt down and gave me a hug instead of letting me squeeze the life out of her.

"It is a pleasure to see you up and running again Hinata-chan. I have spoken with Iruka-san and we will be working together as more than just you being my have a lot to work on." She said in perfect elegance.

"It's alright, I'm glad you'll be there to help." She gave me a smile and started class. We worked on flexibility and proper bows. At the end of class, Lady Seiko gave me a large book full of what I missed, as homework I have to study and work through all of it until I have it down successfully. She will meet with me once a week for 3 hours to make sure I get everything done right. Iruka-sensei came over and together they talked with me. They made me imagine the attack and go over it each time, then made me recreate the moves and a bunch of other stuff. We did this for a few months until I finally stopped panicking when I had to fight. It took a while, and a lot of support from everyone who knew, but I finally conquered my fears.

When I was over my fear, I began my hardcore physical training regime. My chakra is around a high Chunin now, possible a new Jounin, no where near Naruto's Kyuubi chakra, but still large. Being a prodigy and training with some of the best, my skills have improved. With chakra and jutsu my skills are around a low Chunin, my taijutsu is at Jounin leve, but with help from my father, Lady Seiko, and Kakashi I will hopefully grow become a master. I kept up my mental studies and theories, I also kept training Naruto to the best of my abilities. We've been working on teamwork and combo attacks as well as his speed. He's really talented at fuinjutsu and I've taught him everything I could from the books. Hopefully somebody like Kakashi will help him before he meets Jiraiya. He's also really good with his chakra now. He will NEVER have good chakra control, but with training, he's finally figured out how to climb trees and walk on water.

He can do some jutsu, still no regular clones though, he puts way too much chakra into one and I don't know how to fix it, and we know his wind affinity, so we snuck into watching Asuma train and after begging and a promise to prank the Hokage again, he explained the basics to Naruto and taugh him the "Great Breakthrough"a basic wind technique. He's still the deadlast which is always fun to watch him fake lose a fight. The reactions of everyone when he passes is going to be priceless. I trained with Sasuke too, Shisui told us training to do and we did it. Sasuke has learned more fire techniques in honor of his family and knows one lightning jutsu and we are in the process of combining my water whips with his lightning to make a combo jutsu. We also worked on out teamwork, since we've trained since we were young, it was pretty spot on. I hold back with them since it's not fair I'm stronger, but when it comes down to it I will take over if needed. Since I'm pretty sure we're going to be on a team together, if we already know the basics of what Kakashi would teach us, hopefully he'll be forced to actually teach us something other than teamwork.

Shika Choji and I also hung out a lot at our secret spot. When I wasn't training myself to the ground we would sit and watch the clouds enjoying our time together. Kiba and I spent time playing with Akamaru. Akamaru is a wild dog, but he's so loving to Kiba, truly the perfect best friend. Shino and I looked for bugs sometimes. He's pretty cool just really reserved. Neji and I trained together a lot, we were both working on how to do palm rotation since he graduates in a year and decided he needs to know how to use more of our clan techniques. Hanabi starts the academy soon and she is the perfect clan princess, not like my brash and wild self. She's well mannered, kind, quiet the elders love her. I love her too, its nice to be able to practice dressing her up properly. She's also started training, she reminds me more of the canon Hinata, just without the stuttering and shyness. I guess since I was so different, the universe made up for the lack of 'Hinata' by making Hanabi more like her. Shisui has finally gottten used to his blindness through my, Sasuke, and some of his friends help.

I've been looking into eye transplants and think, with the help of Lady Tsunade, we can give him his eyesight back, no Sharingan but still eyesight. Father and I have also been training together, he let me know he knows about my special fighting style and has been helping me further it, as well as training me better in the clan styles. I have made it up to 32 palms in the trigram. It took a lot of work, but its been nice to have my dad train with me again. With Lady Seiko, I finally learned how to do my own hair and walk in heels without falling. My training outfit she's designing for me is going to have heeled shoes to make my kicks do more damage or something along those lines. Sakura and Ino still hate me since I'm even closer to Sasuke than before, not that he purposely shows it at school, he just tolerates my presence and doesn't tolerate theirs. With the other guys though, Sasuke is super weird and possessive of me. It's sweet but super annoying too, when I leave to eat lunch with Shikamaru or something, Sasuke is always close, he thinks he's sneaky but he's not. The whole Uchiha love and hate obsession thing is starting to show in Sasuke, its not a bad thing that he cares about me so much, but I hope that if I fall in love with somebody, he doesn't go crazy on them.

Neji graduated today and I'm so excited for tomorrow. It might be the best day of my life, I get to meet Rock Lee, Tenten who I think will be my best (and only) female friend, and Gai who is amazing in so many ways. I also can't wait to see how the ever stoic and arrogant Neji deals with his team. Neji may love me, but he is still an arrogant prick to everyone else especially with his destiny crap. I can't wait for him to have to deal with Lee and Gai, he gets annoyed with my talkative and hyper nature, he's going lose it when he has to deal with them. Lee isn't a Gai clone yet, but he will be soon!

I was waiting outside of the school for Neji to come out with his team, I probably shouldn't join in on them meeting but I can't resist. Finally I saw a man clad in the most horrendous green jumpsuit burst through the front doors. His three Genin were trailing behind him. Lee, who looked so amazed by Gai; Tenten (she's so pretty), who looked confused and a bit scared; and Neji, who looked ready to murder them all. Neji saw me and walked over, when he saw my smirk, he slowed down his steps looking ready to hurt me at my mocking smirk. His team stopped and Gai shouted for them to follow Neji-kun and see the youthful person he is talking to. I let my smirk grow, Neji glowered in annoyance.

"Soo Niisan, care to introduce me to this interesting team you have."

"No, they are not worth your time Hime, they are destined to fail." Lee and Tenten looked down at that and Gai didn't even look shocked. He must have known beforehand what Neji is like. I punched Neji out of love, and slight annoyance, making him stumble a bit. It was mainly to show him, he's not the greatest though.

"Cut the destiny crap, I want to meet your team please Niisan." I whined.

"Nii-san? I didn't know you had a sister Neji-kun." Tenten said sweetly.

"She's not." He replied coldly.

"Nope, I'm his cousin, but he's like my Niisan. Either way, I'm Hinata Hyuuga. I'm really excited to meet Neji's teammates." I turned to Gai with sparkles in my eyes. i'm totally a Gai fangirl, in the way that he is so weird and strong. "You are Might Gai, taijustu master. I am honored to meet you, you are so cool and such a badass, I want to be a master ninja as good, if not better than you! It's so cool you're training Niisan, maybe with your help he'll finally be able to beat me." Gai gave me a thumb's up and his smile, his teeth really do sparkle.

"You are so YOUTHFUL Hinata-chan! I will train my students until they are as full of youth as you are." I giggled and fist pumped.

"Thank you for the compliment Gai-sama." Tenten and Lee looked at me incredulously, Neji looked at me like I was an idiot, a look he gives me too often. "So who are you guys?" Lee stepped forward and bowed to me.

"I am Rock Lee, I cannot use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, so I will train to be a master in Taijustu." He said in a quiet subdued voice. He's pretty shy, I can't wait until he becomes such a dorky badass.

"Nice to meet you Lee, I bet with Gai-sama's help you'll do just that!" He smiled a bit wider and seemed happy I wasn't mean to him. Tenten gave me a smile and adjusted the scroll on her back.

"I am Tenten, I am a master at weaponry and can use any weapon given to me."

"That is so awesome! You seem really cool, I'm glad you are already a badass instead of a whiny fangirl like other academy girls I've met." She laughed at me, I know this is the start of a beautiful friendship.

"You too." Leaving them for their actual team introductions, I bid farewell and went to visit Shisui before going off to train with father.

Today is the day before the graduation exams. I woke up extra early, put my waist length hair into a french braid, and got dressed. I grabbed my ninja pouch and made sure I had the seals Naruto made for me in my bag. I ate a quick bowl of rice for breakfast, making sure I was quiet so I didn't wake dad or Hanabi up, then I left and I ran across the rooftops until I made it to Naru's small apartment and when I went inside, I was surprised he was already finished getting ready and was eating his ramen for breakfast.

He looked up from his ramen and gave me a shit-eating foxy grin. He planned the prank to end all pranks, and with a little help from me, we are going to execute it and not get caught. Naruto grabbed his god awful orange jacket and we were off. I turned on my Byakugan to watch for any ninjas on patrol, and with the stealth Naruto taught me, we made it to the Hokage monument unseen. Putting chakra into our feet, we climbed up the monument and sat atop the 4th's head.

"Hinata-chan did you bring the seals?" Naruto asked, his whole aura glowing in excitement and mischievousness.

"Of course!" I took them out and laid all 4 on the grass in front of us. Naruto explained how I needed to set the last 4 seals after he does his. We kept trying to keep quiet, but were giggling the whole time as he explained it to me. He's really grown in seals, its crazy.

"This is going to be the best prank ever! Then all the villagers will finally notice me dattebayo!" I still hate some of the villagers for their small minds, but anything I can do to help Naruto is worth it. If it means pulling awesome pranks, so be it.

"Hell yeah they will!" We high fived and got to work. Naruto drew his seals he's been working on, on each of the Hokage's faces and inserted his chakra to make them ready for him to activate them. I carefully laid each of the seal papers he made me and put my chakra into each of them. We made our way to the bottom of the monument, put our hands in the ram seal and sent out a flair of chakra to activate the seals. It was the most amazing sight and I was rolling on the floor laughing.

Each face on the Hokage monument changed the faces of the 4 Hokage's to having Naruto's face on each of them. Not just that, each face was in full color to match Naruto's face and our names were signed across the bottom of the faces as a tribute to our work. Naruto's seal made the illusion of his face instead of the other Hokages. My seal was the seal for all of the colors. I gave him the idea based on how he wanted to paint their faces, and he executed it perfectly, plus this time its easy clean up for us.

I heard the spluttered gasps of the ninja around us, and one ninja yelled louder than I thought possible:

"The demon boy and Hyuuga girl ruined the Hokage Monument!" Naruto and I shared a look and ran to the academy, laughing all the way there. We rushed into out classroom and fell to the ground still laughing. After a second, I got back up and looked around at the annoyed looks of my classmates.

"Choji where's Iruka-sensei" I asked confused on why he's gone right at the start of class. Choji continued munching on his chips and responded.

"He's outside looking for you two. Some chunin came running in shouting about you guys." Naruto rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly and laughed.

"Oh haha, he'd never be able to catch us."

"What'd you do that was so troublesome this time?" Shika asked looking bored trying to hide his interest at what we did.

"Look outside at the monument!" Naruto and I shouted at the same time. Everyone, even the girls who hate us, got out of their seats to look at the monument. Most of the people gasped, Kiba and a few others let out loud laughs.

"That is a new level for you guys, who knew the deadlast could do something so smart." Kiba laughed out. Most of my friends just shook their heads in amusement at Naru and I, even the emo duckbutt looked amused. Some of the girls shouted that we were idiots and worthless troublemakers but we ignored them and sat in our seats. Iruka-sensei came barreling through the door and damn did he look pissed. His face was red with anger as his wild eyes looked around the classroom. When his eyes stopped on us, he looked ready to burst.

"Are you CRAZY? Because of both of your insubordinance, we are going to practice the transformation jutsu AGAIN!" Iruka yelled at us, if he wasn't such a teddybear, he might have been scary. We all rushed into line, Sakura was first of course, the kiss up. She transformed into a copy of what would pass as Iruka.

"Did you see that Sasuke-kun?" She squealed at him, he just ignored her. Sasuke went up next and transformed into a perfect replica of Iruka. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and smirked at me in a silent competition. All of the girls of course thought it was for them and squealed. I went next and transformed into Gai, giving his signature pose and everything. Iruka flinched but said my transformation was perfect, too perfect.

I laughed and went to my seat, ready for the show that Naruto always provides me with. I put my elbows on the table and rested my head in my hands. Naruto made the handsigns and yelled transform. Chakra surrounded him, and then he was there, but an older, pretty, naked, and female version of himself with cute long blond pigtails. Blood dripped from Iruka's nose and he passed out. Most of the girls looked disgusted and the guys were either nursing nosebleeds or shaking their heads. I was laughing along with Naruto though.

"Damn, who knew Iruka-sensei was such a pervert." I said, receiving a glare in return from said man.

Finally class was over and I had my final lesson in Kunoichi classes, as well as my final private lesson with Lady Seiko. She told me that I can always go to her though, we have strong bond. She taught me everything I needed to know about using special tricks as a woman to my use. She also taught me more about water justu. This last year we specifically studied seduction, a tool special Kunoichi use, and since she said I'd be good at it, we learned it. It was pretty a easy thing for me to learn, its all about sex, and though I'm a kid, my body is more developed (I think thats why she wears such big coats), and I wont need it until I'm closer to 15 (Which is a legal adult), plus my mind is old enough to understand everything.

It's actually pretty useful being a girl as a ninja, there are so many ways to get information. Im not regal or womanly, my grace is on the battle field, but everything she has taught me has made me a perfect woman weapon basically. I still cant do most of the housewifey stuff, but Lady Seiko doesn't care, she decided to train Hanabi in that kind of stuff. She used me for the physical aspects of everything. I love her and am so thankful for her to have trained me.

The graduation test itself was so easy, we took a written exam and a physical exam. I passed with flying colors, when I got my Hitai-ate, I tied it around my forehead like a proper ninja. At the end of class I walked outside, I saw Naruto sitting on his swing trying not to cry. As horrible as it is, I'm glad he didn't pass. What happens between him, Iruka, and Mizuki needs to happen. I gave him a small hug and hid myself waiting for Naru to steal the sacred scroll. When he finally succeeded in stealing the scroll, I put my plan into action. Shisui and I have been planning this for a long time.

I swung by one of the secluded training grounds and found Sasuke running through his katas.

"Oi Sasuke, come on lets go home, Shisui-nii and I have something important to tell you." Sasuke looked at me, suspicion written all over his face.

"You never call me by my name."

"Oh uuh, yeah well whatever lets go."

"Hn" I jumped away and headed towards their house, Sasuke in tow. Shisui, Sasuke, and I were sitting around the tea table, drinking tea, basking in the tension I love so much, not.

"Sasu-chan, there's something you need to know about the massacre. Hinata and I have been digging and we finally found what we needed to know, so it's time to tell you. The Massacre of our clan wasn't Itachi's fault. It was because of the clan planning a coup."

"How dare you speak his name, don't try to reason with why he did what he did. He's evil and theres nothing left of him but that." Sasuke was fuming, I rarely see him yell and it was so hard to watch him be so angry and in pain from even thinking about it. I stood and pushed him to sit back down. He was glaring the most vicious look I've seen. Taking his silence, I continued.

"When Shisui was blinded it was because of a man named Danzo Shimura. He is one of the elders of the village and holds power over the council, second only to the Hokage. Danzo is a lowlife scum and he doesn't take threats lightly. The Uchiha clan was planning a coup, like Shishi said. They planned on taking control of the leaf village, killing whoever necessary to do it. There were ways to stop it, thats what Shisui was working on. Danzo on the other hand didn't believe that so he forced Itachi to execute the clan, saying if he didn't Danzo would kill everyone including you. I've been trying to find out the truth of the massacre with Shisui and we did, now it's up to us to stop Danzo." Sasuke looked stunned. We all sat in silence for a while before I heard sniffing. I looked at Sasuke and he had tears pouring down his face. He stood up and flipped the table.

"Aghhh, everything I thought was wrong, I hated him, he made me hate him, now its all a lie. That bastard Danzo is going to suffer even if it's the last thing I do. We're going to find Itachi and bring him back." Sasuke was crying harder now, when he talked about Danzo I could feel the hate radiating off of him. I stood up and wrapped my arms around Sasuke. He slumped to the floor, holding on to me tightly as he cried.

"We'll do it together, all three of us." Shisui said. I continued to hold the shell shcoked Sasuke. I knew this news would hurt him, but at least he knows he has his brother. Now I can aslo protect him from Orochimaru since he wont have the same drive for power so he can hunt and kill Itachi.

"We're going to take that fucker down, we'll take him down from the inside and then show everyone who he really is." I said, I got nods in return. Sasuke finally calmed down and we ate dinner together, talking about possible teams.

I got up this morning giddy and nervous. I hope that I'll be on team 7, none of the events seem to truly be a fixed event, so hopefully me ending as top student and top female will put me on the same team as Sasuke and the 'deadlast' Naruto. Plus Sakura would be a better fit for her, then maybe she can use her control to become a Genjutsu master and stop obsessing over Sasuke. I got dressed and since we wont be training today, I left my hair down and at its slight curl. I decided to officially put on one of my gifts from Lady Seiko. Her final gifts to me were the new outfits she's been designing for me, one is for now, and one is for when I'm older. As much of a tomboy I am, spending time with her, I've grown to love some girl stuff. I like looking pretty as long as it's not girly if that makes sense.

Either way, she made me the perfect outfits. The one I wear now has a tight-ish lavender kimono top with a dark purple obi that has protective plates in it to guard my abdomen. I also have matching dark purple shorts to go under the kimono. Then I have transparent lavender thigh high stockings and knee-high high heeled dark purple combat boots. To go along with it, I put on my gloves from Sasuke, strapped my daggers to my back, and attached my weapons holster around my thigh. Now that I'm a real ninja, no more baggy t-shirts or kimonos, it was time for a real ninja look.

I looked badass and hot. I finally truly felt like a kickass female.

I walked down the stairs to say goodbye to my dad, Hanabi already left for the academy. He gave me a once over and said my outfit was well fit for a ninja like myself. We had a silent breakfast together and he wished me luck on my team. I got up, put my bowl in the sink, and headed to the academy. I slammed the door open and strutted into the classroom, carrying myself with the confidence and deadly authority Lady Seiko taught me. I want people to see me as the mischievous fun person, but also a force to be reckoned with. (A/N who doesn't want to just slam open the door and announce your presence, I do it all the time, but not on purpose. I have a bad habit of opening and closing doors way too hard.) At my super dramatic entrance everyone's eyes turned to me and I tried so hard not to laugh when people's jaws fell open at my new look. There were a few jealous looks from the girls and I finally started laughing. damn, there goes my deadly aura.

"Damn Hinata, who knew you were such a hot girl." Kiba said with a smirk.

"Damn dog boy, who let you go without your muzzle." I said giving him a shit-eating grin Shisui helped me perfect. We had a stare down, then busted out laughing. I walked past him and to Naruto.

"Blondie, you passed! I knew you could do it. You'll have to tell me how later." I said, truly happy he passed. He looked happy when I said congrats, but I noticed as I told him to tell me how, worry and sadness passed across his face before he covered it up with a smile.

"I'm just that awesome dattebayo." We fist bumped and I sat in between him and Sasuke, who were sending each other glares. There were loud footsteps and yelling coming to the door. I hit my head on the desk and mumbled.

"They're coming for you Sasuke." He grunted in annoyance. The door slammed open, harder than when I did it and tumbling in came Ino and Sakura.

"I'M FIRST!" They shouted at the same time, still shoving each other's face.

"NO YOU'RE NOT I AM!" they continued to argue about the centimeter that was between them until finally they looked up and saw Sasuke. Sparkles showed up in their eyes and they started walking over here. I looked to Naruto and his face lit up. He shot out of his chair and wildly waved his arm around with a smile, thinking Sakura was looking at him. No matter how hard I try, I'll never understand his crush on her, she's a bitch to him and he's blind to it.

"Hi Sakura-chan!" Naruto said to her as she approached him. Instead of responding kindly, she shoved him out of the way.

"Move dumbass." She then turned back to Sasuke, putting on a horrible act of a cutesy and seductive face. "Hi Sasuke-kun. Can I sit next to you?" That last phrase all hell broke loose. All of the girls, and a few boys surprisingly, began to argue about who gets to sit next to Sasuke, completely oblivious to me I guess. The moment I've waited my life to see in person finally arrived. Naruto was so annoyed with Sakura loving on Sasuke so he crouched on the desk putting his face way too close to Sasuke. They glared at one another, sparks flying between them, and then, *Smack.* The boy in front of Naruto leaned back and moved Naru off balance, pushing him into Sasuke's awaiting lips. I watched in joy as their lips connected and they looked each other in the eyes, stunned. After a good few seconds, they pushed off of one another and began choking.

"Wow, I didn't know both of you swung that way. I guess you make a cute couple." I said laughing my ass off, Kiba and a few other boys were snickering, Shika was mumbling troublesome while smirking, everyone else was just stunned.

"SASUKE-KUN'S/I'M NOT GAY!" They shouted simultaneously. I just love riling them up to yell. A killer intent stronger than one I've ever felt permeated the room. I turned my head and saw the evil looks on all of the girls faces, all directed at Naruto. He sensed the danger and began inching away.

"Oh Fuck." I said to Sasuke. He just continued to glare at the wall for calling him gay.

"Narutooooo!" The demon fangirls chorused while cracking their knuckles ready to attack. Right as Sakura raised her fist, bringing it down onto Naruto, I flashed in front of them and grabbed her hand. Releasing some of my KI I stared them down.

"Don't. Touch. Naruto." I said in a low growl. Some of the girls backed off, but a few (Sakura Ino Ami) stayed. I released sakura's hand, but punched her into the wall. I felt a pang of guilt for hurting my former friend, but until she wants to be friends again, I will treat her like anyone else who tries to hurt Naruto. He can defend himself just fine, but he refuses to hit Sakura so I knew he wouldn't do anything to protect himself. "Unless you want the same treatment as Sakura, stand down and leave Naruto alone. It was an accident." They nodded in slight fear and went to their seats. Finallt Iruka-sensei walked in and gave us a speech about teamwork and our start as Genin.

"Team 7..." I tensed up, nervous about the upcoming team placements. "Naruto Uzumaki... Hinata Hyuuga... and Sasuke Uchiha." Naruto and I cheered, fist bumping at our successful planning and Sasuke gave me a small smile at actually being on a team. I was elated, this will be perfect to continuing my goals, plus I get a hottie as a Sensei. "Team 8, Kiba Inuzuka, Sakura Haruno, and Shino Aburame... Team 10, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi." Iruka finished team calling and then Naruto finally realized his final teammate and stood up in the most dramatic Naruto fashion, pointing at Sasuke. "What the hell, why does an awesome Shinobi like me have to team up with a slug like Sasuke-teme!" Iruka looked at him pointedly.

"Well, Sasuke had some of the highest test scores, while you Naruto, had the lowest. We put the best with the worst." Wow, Iruka has no chill and does not sugarcoat. Too bad Naruto actually isn't the worst, he'll show everyone soon how good he really is.

"Hn. Dobe." Sasuke said with an arrogant smirk. Naruto whipped his head to Sasuke glowering.

"What was that Teme?" Diffusing the situation before they could fight like they always do, Iruka called for lunch. Sasuke slipped out the window and Naruto shot off after Sakura, leaving me team less and alone. Shikamaru walked up to me and said I'm eating lunch with his team. We walked together to where Choji and Ino were supposed to be, and before we reached them, Shika stopped and turned to me.

"You troublesome woman, making this difficult. All I wanted was a simple life, but I had to befriend such a nuisance like you, making me distracted with the new look of yours." I'm confused, usually Shikamaru isn't one to ramble like this, especially about something trivial like clothing.

"Huh, what are you talking about Shika, I'm confused." I tilted my head slightly. His cheeks tinted slightly red and I became even more confused.

"Damn it woman. I'll show you later, this is too troublesome right now." Leaving me confused and questioning what the hell he's going on about, I followed after him and enjoyed my lunch, excited for getting to meet the sexy Kakashi Hatake soon. I took my time getting back to the classroom after lunch, knowing it wont matter since Kakashi is going to be super late. By the time I got to the classroom, all of the teams were gone and it was just Naru, Sasuke, and I. Naruto yelled at me for being so late, but was less mad at me and more mad that our Jounin instructor wasn't here yet. Deciding to kill time, I asked Naruto a question thats been confusing me for both of my lives.

"Hey Naru, why do you like Sakura so much. She's been nothing but bitchy to you since you met, likes Sasuke, but you still like her." At the though of his crush, his eyes shimmered, but stopped as he put on a thoughtful face and began thinking.

"I guess I saw her and she was so pretty, but I'm not really sure. Let me find out and I'll tell you later dattebayo! Can you tell me something though."

"Yes."

"What do girls see in Teme." Said teme was looking out the window, not listening to our conversation (or so Hinata thinks). Yes, time for all of my movie binging to come to life so I can talk about the weird mind of normal girls.

"Well, girls that are so obsessed with Sasuke like him for his looks. He's got that dark brooding hot boy look and that gets a lot of girls. Guys like Sasuke have this thing called swagger, it varies on the type of swagger for guys, but it really gets a lot of girls to go crazy for them, no matter what personality they truly have. I'll show you real swagger, Sasuke is just a lame example of it, he's a bit too brooding."

"Ok I get it I think, how do I get swagger."

"You will never have swagger, you have that hot yet sweet golden beach boy look. If it weren't for a situation, girls would fall head over heels for you. Think about the 4th Hokage, he was a golden boy like you, not a brooding boy like Sasuke. There's a lot of other types but this is the simple way, either way, girls are weird about boys and stuff."

"Cool, I'm glad, I can't be emo like Teme. What about you Hinata-chan, what kind of guy do you like." I noticed Sasuke tense and turn his head a bit more towards us to listen in. I laughed so hard. Boys, I haven't even thought about what kind of guy I like. Too many options and types to limit it, unless its spiderman.

"Loaded question dude, honestly I don't know. I guess it depends on the boy, I would say I don't have a specific type. I haven't really spent that much time thinking about it. I don't even have a crush on any real person." They ignored my "real person" statement and huffed.

"You're so lame sometimes Hinata-chan. Make sure I'm the first person you tell when you get a crush dattebayo." He said with a bright grin.

"We'll see about that blondie." I winked and laughed.

After 2 hours, even I was getting annoyed with Kakashi, damn it this is ridiculous and super annoying. I could be doing something so much better with my time. I was pacing up the walls, Sasuke was brooding in his chair, and Naruto was setting up his eraser prank. I quickly dropped to the floor and waited in anticipation. Sasuke scoffed at the prank and my eager face, Naruto and I both stuck out tongues out at him. Finally the door began to slide open and a beautiful silver head peaked through, the eraser hitting him right on his gravity defying hair. Naruto fell to the floor laughing, Sasuke looked in condescension, and I looked at him with sparkles. He picked up the eraser and held it in front of us, looking at us with half lidded eyes.

"Maa, my first impression of you guys is... I hate you. Meet me on the roof." Sasuke and Naruto looked slightly crushed, I just laughed it off and we all poofed to the roof.

Kakashi's grey eyes widened slightly at our sudden appearance before falling back into his lazy expression. He leaned up against the railing, looking lazy and casual, but I could see the tension in his body, he looked lazy to the untrained eye, but I could tell he was ready for any possible attack. His grey visible eye scanned us in what seemed to be boredom, but I could see the sharp glint behind his eye. He was analyzing us the same way I was to him. Each move he made was lazy, but still couldn't hide the years of training he's had, his underlying movements, graceful and deadly, spoke of a wary and powerful ninja. Damn, I wish I could look cool like that. Even with his mask, he was soooo sexy. If I was a fangirl, he'd be one of the people at the top of my list.

(Kakashi POV Yayyy!)

I was sitting waiting for my new possible Genin team. This time around I got Sasuke Uchiha: one of the last survivors of his clan and a seemingly dark and twisted boy, Naruto Uzumaki: my sensei's soon. They look so much alike I don't think I can train him without seeing my failures. He smiles like the sun even when he was shunned by everyone, a real anomaly. Finally Hinata Hyuuga: the young prodigy who supposedly passed all of the other prodigies already. She also went through a lot of trauma, but doesn't have the vengeful heart like most people would in her shoes. Interesting team choices, but I don't know if they are going to last. Naruto seems like a childish idiot, Sasuke doesn't seem like one for team anything, and Hinata, well I'm not sure about her.

My team poofed right in front of me, them knowing how to teleport is surprising, especially for Naruto. I released my tense stance and laid back against the railing lazily. I turned my eye on each of them, Naruto was loud and brash, that much I could tell already, but he has strong movements only a talented ninja has, surprising for the deadlast. Sasuke is full of anger, but he is also full of love for Hinata, he is so close in a protective stance with her and his eyes, he tries to make them seem cold and uninterested, but they flicker to her every few seconds. Hinata, she surprises me, instead of being cold and having the heavy pressure like other prodigies, myself included, and for all of the trauma she has been through, she smiles and jokes around. Yet, even with her behavior similar to Naruto, she carries herself with an aura of deadly maturity. Her eyes were happy, but even when it didn't seem like it, they were calculating. She was analyzing me every bit as much as I was her, she didn't dismiss me like Sasuke and Naruto, if anything it seems like she knows who I am. Interesting team indeed, they all have close ties to Hinata from what I can tell.

"Now that we're all here... Introduce yourselves, starting with you blondie." I shifted my gaze to Naruto and motioned for him to talk.

"Nope, you first sensei." Hinata said in a no nonsense tone.

"Maa, my name is Kakashi Hatake. My likes are my likes, my dislikes are none of your business. My hobbies? Well I have lots of hobbies. My dream, I've never really thought about it." I said bored and slightly taunting them to get angry, ending with a fake my surprise Hinata began laughing.

"Hey Kakashi-sensei, I bet I could do your introduction better than youuu." Hinata said in a singsong voice. Hmm, I wonder what she really knows.
"Ok let us see." turned my gaze to her and watched her more intently. She knows something based on that glint in her eyes. She's definitely a student of Lady Seiko, she has that same face when she knows something she shouldn't.

"Hmm, lets see. You're Kakashi Hatake, other wise known as the Copy Cat Ninja, which is so badass I want a cool nickname. Ok whatever, you've copied over 1000 jutsu's. You like to read Icha Icha, I can see it in your pouch right now. That means you are a pervert ya know. You dislike boulders and scummy people. I honestly don't know anything you like besides porn books. Your dream is to protect your friends isn't that right." I looked at her friends and neither of them look surprised, she must know and say crazy things like that all the time. She knows more than I thought, a lot more. Who is Hinata Hyuga really. She nudged Naruto and told him to go.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki dattebayo. I like all kinds of ramen, especially the kind Hinata, Iruka-sense, and ijiji buy me. I like to surprise people when the underestimate me. I don't like the three minutes it takes for ramen to cook and I don't like when Hinata makes me do her crazy training, and I don't like teme. My hobbies are pranking and figuring out seals with Hinata. My dream is to become the greatest Hokage so everyone will have to stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody, somebody important!" He introduced while shouting and pointing to himself. He grew up interesting. He and Hinata really are close, I wonder what she has trained him in.

"Alright, you next, nosey." I said, she looked to me and gave a shit eating grin at how I was still confused of her. I can tell though that she is going to be a cute, strong kunoichi when she grows up. At least I didn't get stuck with a fangirl like most girls her age. I was worried since Sasuke seems to have all of the girls fangirling over him like when I was younger.

"My name is Hinata Hyuga. I like training, watching peoples reactions to things, my friends and family, music, and lots of other stuff. I dislike bullies, tea ceremonies, cooking, unnecessary death, a specific man who deserves death, doll dresses, and failure. My hobbies are training, theorizing about jutsu and chakra, testing out my theories, and pranks. My dream is my dream and one day when I accomplish it I will tell you what it was." This girl, she's not even close to a fangirl. Theorizing and testing out chakra, if they make it, I'll ask her about it. She's also a very interesting girl, I've never met somebody like her. Definitely not a girly girl, and seems to have high value in friendships. She even got Sasuke to smile, more like a slight lip tilt, at her introduction.

"Finally, emo."

"Ha, duckbutt he called you emo!" Sasuke gave her a halfhearted glare.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I like tomatoes and my remaining family, I dislike mostly everything. My hobby is training, My dream is not a dream, I WILL make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan, protect the one I love, and destroy the man responsible." Just as I thought he want's to kill his elder brother for the massacre of the clan. Naruto looked a bit pale at Sasuke's introduction. Sasuke grabbed Hinata's hand and they shared a look of knowing. Maybe the person she hates is Itachi too, after what he did to her I wouldn't be surprised. Sasuke has the dark I expected within him, but it seems like Shisui and Hinata have kept him full of love too. Maybe there is hope for this team yet.

"Alright good, you all have different personalities meet me at training ground 7 at 5 am for survival training." I waited and saw that Naruto was about to blow. He has the temper of Kushina it seems.

"Survival training, we've already done that at the academy." I began to chuckle, they all looked unnerved by it.

"This is no ordinary survival training."

"WHAT IS IT!" Naruto shouted at me.

"If I tell you, you will grow disenchanted. Oh well, I'll tell you. You see, of all 27 graduates, only 9 will actually become Genin, the rest are sent back to the academy, this test is for me to decide if you become genin. Don't worry you only have a 66 percent chance of failure." i gave them a closed eye smile. Naruto was fuming, before he could burst, Hinata yanked him to the ground. She didn't look worried one bit. Sasuke clenched his fists and looked ready to kill me.

Bring your ninja gear and I recommend not eating breakfast, you'll puke. Bye!" I flickered away to watch their reactions. How I love to terrorize the fresh Genin.

(Hinata POV)

When Kakashi flickered away, I decided to tell them.

"Ok guys Kakashi-sensei is an elite jounin, we have to team up to take him down no matter what. And eat breakfast, puking is better than being starving. I love you both but I have to leave now. Sasuke, tell Shisui I will be coming over later. Naru, it's time to unleash the beast. Also Naru?"

"Yeah Hinata-chan?"

"Kakashi-sensei has the most swag I've ever seen." We shared matching grins at this revelation then I jumped off the roof and ran home to tell my dad the good news. Tomorrow is going to be so much fun.

I woke up at 5 am on the dot. There is no way in hell I'm getting up earlier when Kakashi is going to be late. The only reason I'm up at the 'fuck my life hour' is that I plan on training while we wait for Kakashi, and possibly making a plan with the boys is Sasuke doesn't act like an arrogant asshole to Naruto. I arrived at the training grounds at 5:45 after my wonderful breakfast. Naruto and Sasuke didn't even bother to ackwowledge I was late, thank god, I might punch Naruto if he yells this early in the morning.

"Mornin'. Anyone want to train with me. I feel like Kakabaka-sensei wont show up for a few hours. We're probably just here cuz he wants to fuck with us and make us mad." Naruto shot up, full of energy somehow and Sasuke's face brightened at the Idea of training instead of sitting around doing nothing.

"Hn. what are we going to do."

"Im so glad you asked young padawans." They gave an indignant shout of how they are both older than me, ignoring the padawan part since they know I just spout 'nonsense'. "I would like to watch Naruto and Sasuke spar while I work on my chakra technique I'm formulating." Naruto looked so smug and mischievous I couldn't stop the grin. Sasuke is going to be in a world of surprise when they fight, I don't know who is going to win.

"You want me to fight the dobe. Tch, when I win in 5 seconds, you fight me." Naruto and I shared a look.

"Fine but you have 1 minute to win, if you don't, I don't spar you."
"Hn." Naruto and Sasuke lined up ready to spar. They started and when Sasuke went in for a punch, Naruto dodged perfectly, the shock showed on Sasuke's face. The spar was epic, Naruto is a wild style heavy hitter and Sasuke is a graceful speed demon. I could feel the annoyance coming off of Sasuke when Naruto landed a pretty painful punch to his left shoulder. Naruto was just grinning the whole time, even when he got hit. I bet it feels good for him to not hold back anymore. Holding back really sucks sometimes and so I love training with my dad because I don't have to hold back as much, just enough so we don't kill one another.

The spar lasted a good half hour, ending with Sasuke as the victor. By the end of it, although he was so annoyed with Naruto's jump in skill, he looked so pleased to have another sparring partner worth his time. When Sasuke lifted Naruto off the ground, I knew that was his way of giving slight respect to Naruto's skill. Naruto, who is good at reading people emotions, realized that too and grinned brighter at his new friend. Tired, they both laid down and decided to sleep until Kakashi comes.

While they slept, I worked on expelling chakra through my Tenketsu points in stronger bursts. I tried it on my father and when he hit me, it backfired for him, but not strong enough, it just made his hand tingle, not go numb like I wanted. So here I am, trying to find the best amount to expel by hitting myself over and over. I found the best amount for people who aren't specifically trying to hit my chakra points, aka non Hyuuga, but it requires more and more precise control when doing against another gentle fist user which is what I'm trying to figure out. Also, I cant use it a lot because it's hard and exhausting to move my chakra to each point like that in a quick enough fashion to numb any blows they give, so instead if I concentrate it on one body part, then when a person hits that part at anytime, their chakra points will be blocked and numb that part of their body.

I also have a new theory I want to talk to Kakashi-sensei about. The boys are going to just get stronger and I want to be equals with them when they get stronger, so I have to be stronger too. Plus to take down people like Obito, Madara, and Kaguya, I have to be even stronger. I was thinking that the Sharingan can analyze a technique to copy it, but what if I can use the Byakugan in a similar manner. Since I can see chakra and how it flows, it could be possible to watch the persons chakra when they do a jutsu and I manipulate my chakra in the way they did to recreate the justu. I definitely couldn't do it at the same time like Kakashi, but I could watch it and recreate it. I'd just have to learn to alter the chakra nature. It would take some time to figure out how to properly read the flow of chakra and mimic it. If I can figure it out, I'd be a beast with a nice jutsu arsenal.

Finally, after I finished meditating and testing out chakra amounts, which is still not perfect, Kakashi poofed into existence. I nudged the boys awake and Naruto jumped up, pointing an accusing finger at Kakashi.

"YOU'RE LATE!" Kakashi held up his hands in mock surrender.

"Sorry I saw a black cat on my path and I had to take the long way 'round." I deadpanned, it really does sound so stupid when he say it. We all stood before him and he placed a clock on one of the wooden posts. "Anyways, this clock is set for noon." He took out the infamous bells and began his eye smile. "You have to take the bells from me by then. If you're not prepared to kill me, you'll fail."

"Hey Sensei, there are only 2 bells, but three of us. So if we get the bells, what happens to the person without a bell?"

"They will be tied to the post while I eat my lunch in front of them." He said casually. I heard Naruto and Sasuke sigh in relief that I made them eat.

"Ok, but 3 teams pass, so even if they don't have a bell, if we work together to get it, we should still pass right? It's just to take the bells, it shouldn't matter who has them." Kakashi's eye narrowed at me in annoyance he had a depressed aura that I caught on so quick. I was laughing on the inside. How I love toying with people, knowing stuff like this makes it fun for them to get annoyed that I ruin their plans.

"Maa, you'll find out if you get the bells." He then told us to start and we all hid together. Kakashi was standing in the clearing, his posture slumped, one hand in his pocket, and he was reading the wonderful orange Icha Icha Paradise. He was reading the book for a while, but never turned the page, he's just doing it to taunt us and pretend to have his guard down.

"Guys, I have a plan. Naruto, spam him with a bunch of clones transformed as all three of us, then while he's distracted with that, Sasuke you need to make the largest fireball possible, then I'm going to use water and make the area around him to steamed to see. Then Sasuke and I are going to engage him in combat, Naruto I want you to place one of your gravity seals on him during that time. Then we can activate it and take the bells. I want to take this bastard down for making us wake up so early." We all shared looks of understanding and annoyance about Kakashi-sensei. This plan better work, if not, oh well, I just really want to get the bells with my team.

We split up making a triangle around Kakashi, Sasuke signaled to Naruto and he began his spam. It was amazing to see so many of us everywhere. If I wasn't hiding, I'd be laughing at how weird it is to see so many of myself. The Naru clones were attacking Kakashi from every direction. When their combat skills was higher than Naruto showed in the Academy, I could see the gears rolling in Kakashi's head. Finally, after getting a graze to the shoulder, he put his book away and began, more viciously might I add, taking out all of the clones. Every movement was precise and used as little energy as possible to take out the most clones in each attack. Kakashi was fast and deadly, his fighting style was so different from each of ours. I was in awe for a second, until I saw the giant fireballs being shot towards Kakashi. Still being surrounded by Naruto's and now fireballs, Kakashi looked slightly impressed, and surprised that Naru and Sasuke were working together.

Finally, I did my water snake and sent it to each of the fireballs, putting them out and making the water turn to steam. It was so misty, visibility was minimal. Sasuke and I jumped out of our hiding spots and I activated my Byakugan to see in the mist. I spotted Kakashi and led Sasuke to him. We engaged him in close combat. Kakashi must have thought we were clones and when he attacked us, he was shocked we didn't disperse. Finally the mist was cleared, but we already set up our game. The trump card is all of our unknown skills, no way would we show them all off in the Academy, just enough to be on top or bottom. Sasuke and I amped up our speed, Kakashi caught Sasuke on a punch, but I was there to attack his hand with the gentle fist. Kakashi released Sasuke to dodge from my attack, giving us time to regroup. I saw Naruto approaching silently from behind, and so we went back in to push him to Naru.

Kakashi swung a kick at my shoulder, and I had enough time to try expelling my chakra from that point. I pulsed it out of my shoulder points, and when Kakashi struck me, I new it was a success. The kick sent me skidding into Sasuke, but Kakashi let out a grunt and didn't put weight on that leg anymore. I knew I took it down. Kakashi and Sasuke looked at me in surprise, and Kakashi got out shuriken to throw. Sasuke moved, but I stayed in the same place and smirked. Right before Kakashi threw the Shuriken, he was thrown to the ground, Naruto was grinning foxily standing over him. Sasuke walked up casually and grabbed the bells from Kakashi's waist and Naruto released his seal.

"Hell yeah, did you see that Hinata-chan we kicked ass dattebayo. There were so many of us, then Teme did the fire stuff and you made it all steamy then Kakashi didn't notice me coming when he kicked you and couldnt walk for whatever reason and then I used my super awesome seal and he just went, bang, straight into the ground." Naruto rambled on happily, running in circles with wild hand gestures. Sasuke had a smirk of happiness, he even seemed impressed with Naruto's sealing skills, even if he would die before admitting Naruto was even close to as good as Sasuke. I was doing some flips and handsprings shouting "We are the Champions." Kakashi finally stood up, the effects of my attack done, I need to make them last longer.

"Maa Maa, I'm impressed. All I have to say now is you... passed." Kakashi said boredly. Then a serious look overcame his features and his eyes misted over like he was remembering something important. "Congratulations Team 7, you are my first Genin team to pass because you used teamwork and the other Genin were too much of brats to realize the true purpose of the test. You are all very skilled from what you have shown, but skill isn't most important part of being a ninja, especially one on team 7 is teamwork. Those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum. Remember that saying, it was an important one taught to me." As Kakashi was talking, he placed his hand on the KIA stone. His eyes wavered in sadness slightly and I couldn't help it. I ran up and hugged him, Naruto followed, dragging Sasuke along. Kakashi pushed us off, but looked thoughtful for a second. "How about a team dinner, my treat?" Sasuke nodded, Naruto shouted about Ichiraku's, and I just followed them.

We walked inside Ichiraku Ramen and sat at the bar. Teuchi looked at Naruto and wrote down his flavor of the day for him, and he wrote down Miso for me. He got Kakashi's order, a miso eggplant, and Sasuke's, anything with tomatoes. Kakashi's lax attitude turned stern for a minute when he turned to the three of us.

"You all showed skills that nobody knew you had, care to explain. As your sensei, I would like to know the skill levels I'm working with so I can train you accordingly."

"Ok, see I would tell you, but I would like to know some actual information about you too, trust is a two way street Kakashi-sensei. Answer the questions we ask, and we'll answer yours." Kakashi looked shocked at my slightly more demanding tone and disrespectful speaking. I know a lot about him, but I also don't know anything, and for me to really trust him and tell him stuff, I need to know about him too. I really want to know him like I've gotten to know the others. He seems like a good friend to have

"Maa , fine." Naruto asked the first question.

"How old are you." He asked with his foxy grin.

"26" Damn. Sasuke was more aggressive with his questioning, not that Naru or I expected any different.

"What is your primary nature, and how'd you get dubbed the 'Copy Cat Ninja'?" Hid dark eyes glared into Kakashi who just smiled back.

"Lightning, and because I copied so many jutsu's on my time in ANBU." I bet he doesn't want to say his Sharingan so he doesn't have to relive such a traumatic moment. Too bad Madara became such a dick and corrupted little Obito.

"So, 1. what is your favorite color? 2. what is your favorite food? 3. When is your birthday? and 4. what do you actually like to do for fun, other than reading porn?" I said with a big grin and sparkle eyes, I NEED to know these things.

"Its not porn" He said defiantly.

"Details details."

"Blue, Miso with eggplant, September 15th, and I like to walk my dogs." He said, as bored as possible. Yay, I have so many things planned for him to add him into my growing family.

"How'd you get so much swag?" Naruto asked with a big grin, actually looking thoroughly curious. Sasuke sweat dropped and I busted out laughing. I'm pretty sure the word swag doesn't exist and isn't a concept here, especially based on Kakashi's reaction. His eyebrow rose up, signaling he was asking a question.

"Swag?" Naruto rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, understanding now that swag isn't a thing they know about.

"Oh yeah, Hinata-chan used it do describe guys and how some guys have swag. She said you have a lot of it. I don't exactly know what it means, she does that a lot, Hinata-chan refrences or says things that nobody has ever heard of but now we kind of go along with it, like some guy named Spider-man. I guess swag is one of those things." Kakashi looked amused and slightly confused by Naruto's explanation. I mean, who wouldn't be confused with a girl who references a bunch of stuff that doesn't even exist. The one time I said no shit sherlock, all hell broke loose on me trying to explain the concept of Sherlock Holmes to Shisui. They all turned their eyes to me in explanation.

"Oh yeah, swag is like the coolness of somebody. Like Sasuke is broody and stuff, but when he walks he looks so cool so its full of swagger. I said you have the most swag of anyone I've met because you have that cool bored personality when you're also deadly and kind of hot so it just works, aka you have lots of swag." I may be a genius, but I am terrible at explanations like this, and I cant believe I just called Kakashi hot to his face. I'm such a weirdo. Kakashi looked even more amused and chuckled, ruffling my hair at my odd word usage. I looked to Sasuke and he looked ready to kill. He was glaring daggers at Kakashi, we all noticed. Naruto being the bonehead he is decided to point out the thing I wanted to gloss over.

"Oh My Kami, Hinata-chan you called Kakashi-sensei hot dattebayo. Does that mean you finally have a crush on somebody?" Naruto asked giggling like an excited schoolgirl. I burst out laughing, especially when Sasuke looked even more pissed. If looks could kill.

"Dude, I don't have a crush of Kakabaka-sensei. I said he was hot, I also said that you and Sasuke were hot in your own ways. Somebody can be pleasing to look at without me having a crush on them."

"Oh, I didn't know that." Naruto looked pleased to learn new information about love. When I said Sasuke was hot, he looked less mad and seemed a but smug and happy about it. Boys and their pride, plus I'm surrounded by hot guys, I'm not an idiot to not notice.

"Maa, my cute little Genin are so weird." Kakashi said to us with a closed eye smile. His smile faded a bit though and in his boss voice, he spoke. "Now, tell me your skills and what level you classify them in. Naruto, you are one of the biggest mysteries you start."

"Hai, I am a good taijutsu fighter in terms of strength, especially with my brass knuckles Hinata-chan got for me, not so much in speed or agility. I can use shadow clones up to maybe a thousand or so, and I can use my wind element, I only know one jutsu though. I have endless stamina and energy dattebayo. My stealth skills are the best of the best when needed, I've been escaping from Chunin level to ANBU since I was a kid. I don't use it much though because I forget about it. I am pretty good with sealing too, Hinata-chan made me learn with a bunch of scrolls we stole from the library, it sucked and my brain hurt for a month dattebayo. Kunai and Shuriken I am average, and my strategies is bad. My chakra control is terrible since I have too much, and I also cant use genjutsu at all. I'm probably a low Chunin, but I'm going to be Hokage so it doesn't matter."

"Why did you hide this and make yourself a deadlast in the academy?" Naruto grinned his foxy grin and we shared a laugh. Sasuke looked interested in this too.

"well you see, I was the deadlast, but Hinata-chan helped me. We also figured out how teams are made when we get older, so for us to be on a team, I had to keep being deadlast and she had to be top Kunoichi. They always put the top students with the worst so I just pretended to suck dattebayo. Also, I cant wait to rub it in all of the jerks faces when I finally show them up." Naruto and I fist bumped, Kakashi was staring at us intently, he seemed to have a slight dangerous glint towards me. I could hide all of these things that I know, but I'm terrible at keeping everything a secret, especially when so much is going to change. Sasuke also looked a bit shocked at how perfect our plan for teams worked out.

"That is very cunning of you. Sasuke, you next."

"Hn. I am a fast and agile fighter, I can utilize kunai and shuriken perfectly, along with ninja wires. I would say I have a mastery over them. I can use fire jutsus well, but my affinity is for lightning. I have good chakra control, but not great. My stealth is also very high and I am good at analyzing an opponent and figuring out how to defeat them. My stamina is good and my chakra levels are higher than almost all of the other Genin. I am also training in using a Katana but I haven't mastered it yet. Overall I'm around Chunin level for now." Sasuke was blunt and did it as simple as possible of course." Kakashi nodded in approval, then his eye shifted to me. His gaze was so intense I wanted to cower, damn, him and Lady Seiko must practice the stare together.

"Maa, the one who is the most confusing. I have a few questions you have to answer after you give us the gist.

"Soo uh, I guess my taijustu is good. I've mastered my gentle fist basics and am learning the rest of the clan techniques that go with it. My Byakugan is one of the strongest of my clan now and I want to further its use with something I'm thinking of. I also created my own tai justu style that is almost impossible to predict and I haven't fully lost with it yet,(A/N she was fighting Tobi who can phase through stuff, and she couldn't smash around when trying to protect Shisui, and she was 8 then. It still cant beat Tobi because who can. And she's not too op because Itachi at her age defeated Orochimaru) I even beat my dad with it when I want to. It just takes a lot of energy. I use speed combined with agility and strength. My chakra control is perfect so I can use it to enhance my attacks like Lady Tsunade. That took a while and a few broken bones to figure out though. I use water jutsu pretty good, I have my water snake down pat and use modifications of that the most. My stealth is good, only because I avoid people with my Byakugan, I'm actually terrible without it. I am not good at being silent and all of that kind of ninja stuff. As dumb as I seem, I'm pretty smart so I can make good, very wild and unpredictable strategies, thanks to Naruto. I can use daggers pretty well, Kunai and shuriken hate me and I hate them. I suck, barely as good as academy level when throwing them. My chakra levels are a bit larger than yours thanks to my genes and using chakra and because I've been training an inhuman amount since I was 2. I guess I'd be a Jounin level if I was put up to it." Kakashi looked surprised and impressed at the mention of my own fighting style, but seems indifferent about everything else. I could feel his eye analyzing me to a scary level though.

"Maa Maa, How do you know so much about me." His tone was bored but had an undertone of demand. I know he really wants to know why I'm so knowledgable, probably to use it well and to protect me and others from spilling knowledge on accident that would be harmful. I mean with what I know, I could end the world. No matter my skills' it still is nothing compared to him. If he wanted to he would have crushed all three of us with no effort.

"Soo, thats a loaded question. I know a lot about everything. I don't really know how to explain it, I've just always been able to see stuff and know about it. I guess I'm observant, plus I've read a bingo book before." I lied, all lies, but I can't really tell them how I know so much. I probably need to make up a story for this though or I will get suspicion on me. I really don't want to be seen as suspicious. For the rest of dinner Naruto and I chatted and Kakashi seemed more relaxed with us than before, giving us super awesome closed eyed smiles, but I could see it in his eyes he was already getting attached and didn't want to, especially to Naru. I know he doesn't want us to suffer his team's fate so he tried to be distant but sometimes slipped up. I plan on being there for him too, he's already way better than kid Kakashi, but he needs somebody to be there for him like I know he will be there for us. Kakashi is really a character though, he's pretty quiet, but is super lackadaisical, quirky, and sarcastic. I really want to meet his dogs, so finally after Naruto's begging he said we could tomorrow. Yay, Pakkun is such a cutie. He went back to his 'fun' self and everything was good, minus the early morning training session he has planned for us.

That night I went home with Sasuke to tell Shisui of our adventures and he was so excited we got 'Kakashi-sempai'. When I told my dad who I got, he seemed pleased I got such a strong instructor. I purposely left out the pervert part though, dad would try to kill him if I let that slip. I wonder if when I'm a bit older if he'll fall for my techniques lady seiko taught me. Heheh, that would be fun, maybe I could see his lovely face. I finally fell asleep, preparing myself for training tomorrow. Hopefully us being so much stronger as Genin will make him train us harder.

---

(Sasuke's POV)

I arrived to our training 45 minutes early. Shisui made me et up and leave earlier than I needed to because he's an idiot who set my alarm clock ahead early. I leaned against one of the wooden posts and closed my eyes letting the sunlight warm up my skin. I began to meditate and go over ways to unlock my Sharingan when I heard the trudging footsteps of somebody coming. I opened my eye to see who was coming, and got off the post when I saw Hinata walking towards me. She looked tired, her hair was a mess and her kimono's obi was not tied properly. She is not a morning person, it's kind of cute how she looks so messed up yet still beautiful. Her lavender eyes met mine and a smile overtook her frown. I smirked at her.

"Morning freak, you look extra messy today. Some kind of special occasion?" I taunted at her. Normally I can control myself and be quiet, but she is so easy to banter with. Her eyes shined with fake anger as she gave me a Shisui reminiscent grin, promising to retaliate with her own words.

"Sup duckbutt." I glared at her and sat down on the ground, leaning my back against the post once more. Hinata walked over to me and laid her head in my lap. I knew what she wanted so I began to play with her hair. When I was younger and my father ignored me, mother would teach me how to braid her hair. I loved doing it, something about the silky hair threading through my fingers helped me relax. Even now, when I do it to Hinata, I can feel my anger fade away. Hinata let out a big sigh and I looked down at her face. She closed her eyes and her face was relaxed. The sun was glowing on her face and I I traced every one of her glowing features.

She's so beautiful, I love her and finally figured it out. I don't know what my life would have become without her there. If she wasn't there, I would have gone for revenge on Itachi when he killed my clan, but then she found out the truth. I loved her even more when she said she was willing to help me take down the bastard Danzo. As much as I want revenge, I want to protect her. She even helped me gain an unlikely friendship in the dobe. As much as I hate that he is so strong, he is a good rival. I traced her jawline with my finger, I want to kiss her, but I have to wait for the right time. I began to french braid her hair lost in my thoughts about how to destroy the man who caused Itachi, Shisui, Hinata, and I so much pain. I tied off her hair and pulled her tighter to me, her smell drifting into my nose. Sometimes it amazes me how someone so beautiful, she looks like a perfect porcelain doll, can be so deadly. She looks like a princess but fights like the devil and I wouldn't want it any other way. Together I know we can take down Danzo.

I was thinking of different training techniques, Hinat mentioned that if I get help from Kakashi I could figure out how to project my lightning out of my body like an extra weapon, without needing all the hand seals of a jutsu. In the midst of my theorizing, a loud obnoxious orange ball came running towards us. Hinata opened her eyes and gave me a smile thanking me for fixing her hair for her. She ripped her gaze away from mine and turned to Naruto, a grin overtaking her face. She got up as he tackled her to the ground. I contained my growl, how dare he touch her like that. I lifted her off the ground, and straightened her Obi.

"Teme." Naruto greeted with slight hostility at my glare.

"Dobe." I replied. Hinata giggled at our glare down. Naruto broke it and his foxy smile came back onto his face.

"Hinata-chan, Teme, we finally get our first training day and mission with Kakashi-sensei dattebayo. What do you think it's going to be like. I hope we get a super awesome mission since I'm so strong and everything, maybe we'll have to stop some rogues or save a fair maiden. I shrugged, I'm not sure what a D rank entails, but I doubt it is something of that caliber right now. Only an idiot like himself would think otherwise. I'm more excited for the training session. If Kakashi is as powerful as people say, I can finally gain enough power to be as strong as Hinata and to protect her, as well as be strong enough to take down Danzo who took out Shisui.

"I wish Naru, a D-rank mission is in the village and is basically chores. We'll probably be doing gardening or house work."

"That is so lame dattebayo. I want a real mission, how do I get one of those." Naruto shouted in a whiney protest.

"Hn" I agreed with the dobe. Chores will not make me stronger. Hinata looked thoughtful for a second before her signature mischievous smirk overtook her features. She's planning something, hopefully in my favor this time.

"Well, to get higher ranking missions, you have to complete a certain amount of each. So if we want a C-rank, we'd have to complete a lot of D-rank before then. But, if we found a way to speed up the amount of D-rank's we complete, we can get a C-rank sooner, and break all of the village records of most completed D-rank's the fastest." Naruto gained the same mischievous look as Hinata, they sometimes communicate without speaking and I hate it. Only her and I should be that close. I don't even know what they are scheming.

"So if I create a ton of shadow clones and have them be us, we can complete way more D-ranks in the time it takes to complete one. Hinata-chan you're an evil genius. We can bend the rules and break some records." That plan is perfect, and I will get to take on harder missions faster to test my strength and become stronger. We all formulated our plan on how to talk to the Hokage into agreeing while waiting for Kakashi to show up. Three hours later the lazy ass showed up, he has no respect for our time.

"Yo, sorry I'm late. I saw an old lady and-" Kakashi said, looking sheepish.

"Shove it Liar! Let's get training, I'm going to kick teme's ass today dattebayo." The dobe said, fire in his eyes. I scoffed, he wished he could beat me.

(Hinata POV)

Kakashi today wanted us to spar to gauge our skills a bit better. Naruto and Sasuke are going to spar and I'm going to spar Kakashi. Kakashi told each of us what he wanted to see and work on specifically. When he got to me, he wanted to see my strength. Kakashi said he'll allow me to hit him point blank to truly test see my strength. I know he doesn't believe that my small body is as strong as I told him. Speed and skill maybe, but my strength no way. I could see him underestimating me and it pissed me off. I didn't train everyday for years to be underestimated by my sensei. Naruto and Sasuke both looked sickly pale and looked even worse at my smirk.

"Uhh, Kakashi-sensei, you don't want to let Hinata-chan hit you point blank."

"Maa I'm sure I can handle it better than a little boy." Kakashi said, waving his hand in a nonchalant dismissal. Sasuke smirked a bit, ready for me to knock him into next week.

"Hn. Your funeral." Sasuke said failing at hiding his amusement. Kakashi looked a bit more stressed, but still in disbelief. I'm not naturally an overly violent person, but a blatant disrespect to my hard work deserves some kind of reparation. I smirked and strutted over to Kaakshi, swaying my hips slightly in confidence like I was taught. I could see the smirk behind Kakashi's mask, and before he could move to fight or anything, I punched him and released my chakra on impact. I sent him crashing through a tree. I hit him hard enough for pain, not enough to do any permanent damage. Naruto and Sasuke snickered at his misfortune. Kakashi was sitting on the ground looking dazed, trying to catch his breath. He looked up at me wide eyed and a slight hint of 'fear', regret, and respect flashed in his eyes. Naruto and Sasuke went to spar and I walked up to Kakashi laughing.

"What was that about me being a little girl?" I helped him up and he groaned.

"Maa, I was wrong. That's some right hook you have. Remind me not to get in your line of fire." I smiled at him and held in a giddy squeal, excited that one of the coolest and strongest people acknowledged me. I fist pumped the air and stood in front of the silver haired Jounin. For the rest of the morning Kakashi trained us, he made Naruto focus on when he attacks to not leave himself so open, Sasuke to work on adding more force behind his attacks, and me to work on reading and predicting attacks better. By the end of training, I was exhausted and could barely keep y eyes open. Kakashi took no mercy on us and took sadistic pleasure when we were running around the village. Sasuke and the ever energetic Naruto slumped next to me. We ate our bento's and Kakashi made us get up and follow him to the Hokage tower. We arrived and walked into the Hokage's office. Naruto brightened at the sight and jumped into the Hokage, telling him all about our awesome training and how he's the best on the team and stuff. Sasuke glowered and I just laughed at his antics. Kakashi requested for a mission and we were given a D-rank of painting a fence and repairing a persons room. We all groaned while Kakashi looked amused and excited for his energetic students to have such a lame mission. Kakashi told us where to meet him and poofed away. Sasuke, Naruto, and I exchanged looks.

"jiji give us more D-ranks, we want to break the record and move up to c-rank missions faster." Hokage chuckled in amusement at Naruto. He looked back at Sasuke and I, we nodded agreeing with Naruto.

"Lord Hokage, we have a system to complete D-rank's faster. If you allow us to take as many D-ranks as we ask for no questions asked, we will tell you how to get rid of your paperwork faster and I wont tell anyone about the sexy jutsu incidents." He looked suspicious, but was ready to go when we mentioned getting rid of paperwork, I know it has to suck doing it. And the hint of fear knowing we could ruin him with Naruto's sexy jutsu.

"You make an offer impossible to refuse. Take as many D-ranks as you would like each day." He leaned forward, losing his Hokage act and almost begged us. "How do I get rid of this damned paperwork." Naruto looked at me and he answered.

"Shadow clones." The Hokage's eyes widened in understanding and amazement, he let out a loud laugh and handed us the D-rank mission sheet. We signed up for 7 missions each day for the next month. We walked outside and Naruto made 4 teams of shadow clone copies of all of us and sent them to do the other D-ranks while we went to do the one Kakashi assigned. Before going to the mission, I went home and changed out of my combat clothes. I put on a basic baggy red cropped top and some grey ninja jogger pants. I was going to be doing dirty work and I don't want to ruin my clothes. I arrived to the old ladies house and Kakashi and Sasuke were waiting. Neither changed, not surprising because they probably own 30 of the same outfit. Naruto came running up right after me, he changed into a white shirt with the Uzumaki swirl and orange shorts. The lady looked pissed that Naruto was there, but with a glare from me she kept her mouth shut. She handed each of us paintbrushes and a giant can of green paint to paint her fence. Naruto complained the whole time, I was bored, and Sasuke was brooding doing the mission. I could just feel the pleasure radiating off of Kakashi at our annoyance. He would also have these weird giggle fits reading his book. One day, I'm going to take it and read it to see the amazingness.

I was working diligently on painting my fence when I felt something think, wet, and cold be brushed across the open area of my lower back. I let out the lamest sound ever and spun around fast to be faced with a Naruto who is rolling on the floor, paintbrush in hand. He better not have. I looked down at my back and It was green with a thick glob of paint streaked across it. Damn, how could he have thought of that first. I sent Naruto a fake glare, and smacked my paintbrush on his golden hair, leaving a green glob on it. Naruto, the idiot, tried to fix it by removing the paint, but it just spread it turning most of his spiky hair green. I couldn't hold it in anymore and started laughing at his whining. Naru picked up another glob of paint and aimed it at me, I dodged and heard it hit something. By the way the temperature dropped I knew what it hit.

"Narutoooo!" Sasuke shouted pissed off. Sasuke had a large green mark across his left cheek. I was cracking up that the ever clean and perfect Mr. Sasuke had paint on his face. Even Kakashi was chucking a bit, and that pissed Sasuke off more. HE chased Naruto around and ended up dumping an entire can of paint all over Naruto. Deciding to help my comrade, and wanting to ruin Sasuke even more, I ran up behind Sasuke and threw paint all over his clothes. By the evil look on his face, it was a bad decision to ruin the perfectionist's clothes. Sasuke took a menacing step towards me and had new paint at the ready. I turned around to run, and to protect myself I jumped on Kakashi's back. That didn't deter Sasuke, he just threw the paint on the both of us, ruining Kakashi's book in the process. Kakashi threw me off of him and released a high concentrated amount of KI. We were all shaking at how scary he looked. His hair was shadowing his eyes and he looked ready to murder us.

"You. Ruined. My. BOOK!" I wanted to laugh at Kakashi losing his cool like this, but I was also way too scared. I raised my hands in submission then Naruto and I both pointed to Sasuke.

"He did it!" And for the rest of the mission Kakashi attacked us. We all ran for our lives, even Sasuke looked scared at Kakashi. It was good training on learning to dodge because Kakashi throws things like a demon, but damn, I didn't know somebody could make paint hurt so much.

We've been doing hardcore training with Kakashi for a month. Something snapped in him I think, because he trains us into the ground to make us prepared for anything. We work soley on taijutsu: dodging and blocking especially. His favorite form if motivation is to piss us off until we work harder. Somehow he got the doll dress picture from when I was younger and uses it to taunt me saying if I cant succeed in dodging him without my Olympic style he will post the picture all over the village and make me wear dresses like that. Lets just say, my overall dodging has gotten way better now with all of my fighting styles. We've spent a lot of time bonding as a team, even though Kakashi is always late. We usually do bonding through Ramen, though sometimes we go over to Sasuke's and Shisui's and eat there. Sasuke and Naruto fight like cats and dogs all of the time and as entertaining as it is, sometimes it is so obnoxious. Kakashi still doesn't talk about himself much which kind of sucks, but it would be so weird if he suddenly became talkative and talked about himself, most of the time he just playfully insults us or teaches us stuff. He's really calm and its hard to get a rise out of his calm demeanor, the only success is with his books. I found something better though, fear. One time we were talking about other Genin teams to analyze them and I mentioned Neji and his team. I told Kakashi I know Gai and that they are best friends or something. Kakashi froze and a look of fear flashed through his eyes at the prospect of the green clad man. For best friends, he elicits such fear in Kakashi at his odd personality. I laughed my ass off when he made me promise not to tell Gai that Kakashi is my instructor. I agreed but only if he would help me with my one of my new theories.

Sadly I haven't gotten to spend much time with my other friends. I see them occasionally but not much. Shika is still being slightly weird, but not enough for it to matter. I spend most of my time training whether it be with my team, alone, or with father. I finally got to 64 palms and even though I passed out after, it was worth it. Team 7 has also officially broken the record for most missions done in a month. With Naruto's shadow clones and us working, we've accumulated a total of 103 D-rank missions in a month. Kakashi doesn't know yet, I think, and I cant wait until he finds out. Today we have a mission and we met up to go receive it from the Hokage. When he gave it to us, I almost lost it. It's the mission to catch the missing cat Tora for the fire Daimyo's wife. That means it's time for the next people I want to help.

"Hinata. I'm at point C"

"Sasuke, point B"

"Naruto Position?" Kakashi asked through out headsets.

"Naruto point A dattebayo."

"Youre too slow Naruto, speed it up next time." Kakashi scolded. I turned on my Byakugan to spot the demon cat. People really weren't kidding about Tora. He's a demon ninja cat and is way harder to catch than I thought he would be.

"Sasuke remember the plan we used to catch Yuki?"

"Hn. Lets go, the dobe is the mouse." Sasuke said, I could hear the smirk on his face at using Naruto as bait.

"Agreed." I said through the com.

"Distance from target?" I snickered at Kakashi's serious voice. As troublesome as this cat is, it's hilarious about how serious we're taking this mission.

"5 meters." "Me too." "Ready to go Dattebayo." Then Naruto shot out of the trees at the cat. When he grabbed it, Tora began scratching the life out of Naruto. I jumped out of the trees with Sasuke and pulled the cat off Naru, handing it to Sasuke. Some reason cats love him. Tora immediately calmed down and began to purr in Sasuke's arms pissing off Naruto even more.

"Identification, red ribbon. Is it the target?"

"ID confirmed." Sasuke replied boredly.

"Lost pet Tora mission success." Kakashi said as he landed beside me. Knowing Naruto was about to blow a gasket, I took of my headset. Boy am I glad I did. He shouted, making Sasuke and Kakashi wince then glare at him as their ears rung. Naruto grinned sheepishly then led the way back to the Hokage's office. We got there and the plump and very colorful faced woman began to squish the life out of the cat. Naruto snickered at its misfortune. When she finally left, we turned to the Hokage. Who began to give us our next mission.

"Nooo jiji, I want to go on a real mission. This is little kid stuff plus we have done enought to earn a C-rank." Iruka was in the room sorting paperwork and an anime vain popped on his forehead at Naruto's brash and blatant disrespect.

"How dare you, like everyone else, you have to start out with easy missions and earn your way up." Kakashi looked annoyed at Naruto, and worried about the reaction of the Hokage. His eye flickered between them. Sasuke and I just watched in agreement and amusement.

"Babysitting isnt a mission. It's just a stupid cho-" before Naru could finish, Kakashi sent him sprawling to the floor telling him to shut up. Iruka and the Hokage began to talk about how missions are classified and earned but we all tuned them out to listen to Naru talk about the ramen he wants to eat today. The Hokage yelled at our disrespect and even Kakashi got scolded. I decided to finish this conversation to get out mission, knowing with Naruto it will take longer.

"Hey wait." kakashi was about to stop me but I pushed him off. "We've done a shit ton more of what's required for a C-rank and we are strong enough to handle it. Remember the deal Hokage-sama. Have you forgotten already how many missions we've done." Iruka looked pissed, but then before he could yell more, the Hokage handed him a sheet of paper. His eyes widened to the size of saucers as he spluttered in amazement.

"Y-You've done 104 missions already. W-What? How? That's amazing." I laughed at his reaction and Naruto was glowing in pride, his ego inflated even more. Kakshi didn't even bat an eye, so sadly he knew. I guess I shouldn't be surprised with him knowing like the know-it-all he is. The Hokage let out a deep amused chuckle, Iruka following.

"Alright, you guys since you seem to be prepared. I'll give you a C-rank." I fist pumped, Naruto shouted in glee, and Sasuke smirked. "You'll be body guards. Lets send him in."

"Awesome. Who is it? A Princess? A Feudal Lord?" Before Naruto could finish his fantasy, a drunk old man with graying hair and a wooden hat came stumbling in, taking another swig from his Sake. Naru looked disappointed and I couldn't help but smirk at the drunk Tazuna. Tazuna took a scrutinizing look at all of us and couldn't look more distraught.

"What a bunch of snot-nosed brats, and you the little one with the idiotic look on your face, you really expect me to believe you're a ninja?" He sneered, pointing at Naruto with his bottle. Naruto laughed and we lined up, I was the shortest. What the hell, this sucks. Damn, I forgot how much of a dick he is.

"Hey Old Man, don't Insult Hinata-chan like that, she is a badass ninja." I smiled at his defense of me. Even Sasuke looked displeased at Tazuna's badmouthing of me.

"I wasnt talking about her, I was talking about you idiot. She looks weak too." I snorted as his asshole response. As much as I love Naruto and will protect him from hate, the dick Tazuna is is very entertaining.

"Eh, you'll see if I'm strong or not very soon, isn't that right dude." Tazuna scoffed. Naruto jumped and went to attack Tazuna but Kakashi held him back, as he shouted about killing him.

"I'm Tazuna, master bridge builder. I must return to my country, I'm building a bridge that will liberate my people. I expect you to protect me with your lives." He stated haughtily as he drank more Sake. Kakashi's narrowed at his word choice but sent us to go pack for a week long mission.
