Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
"So let's start with introductions," Their new sensei says, pointing at Naruto with a calloused thumb. "You first, blondie."
"Why don't you give us an example of how to do it?" Sakura intercepts smoothly, leaning her cheek against the palm of her hand. "You're supposed to teach not preach."
Sasuke hid a pleased grin behind the mask of a scowl.
Their sensei sighs.
"My name is Hatake Kakashi. My likes are none of your business. My dislikes are many. My goals are also none of your business. Your turn."
"You basically told us nothing, dattebayo!" Naruto yelps, eyebrows coming together in frustration.
"Just go, dobe." Sasuke growls out.
Sakura gives him a look and he sighs, his frustration calming.
"FINE. My name's Uzumaki Naruto and I like ramen and Sakura-chan. Sometimes, occasionally the teme too but that's only when he shuts up and isn't near Sakura-chan." Sasuke scowls, Naruto sticks out his tongue, Kakashi sighs, "My dislikes are bullies and Mizuki-sensei 'cos he always gives Sakura-chan detention. My goal is to become Hokage and have everyone accept me!"
"Hm." Kakashi hums, eyes glinting with something like interest. He points to Sasuke next and the dark-haired boy grits his teeth and begins.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I dislike nearly everything. My likes are tomatoes and training. My goal is to kill a certain man and revive the Uchiha clan."
Sakura goes a little pale and her heart stutters in her chest.
Kill the other Uchiha?
No, she thinks desperate as she looks into Sasuke's eyes and sees the agony reflected in them, No, there has to be something else—He can't dig two graves for revenge.
"And you, pink-chan?" Kakashi-sensei's voice drags her out of her thoughts and Sakura looks up at him.
Her teacher is staring at her with serious eyes and Sakura knows that he is paying the most attention to her, trying to gauge her out, trying to find the cracks in her armor.
A defiant expression crossed her face and her mouth hardens. "My name is Haruno Sakura. I like planting things. I dislike the men-from-next-door and unruly clients. My goal is to…"
She trails off, flushing a little.
Kakashi leans forward just the littlest amount, as do Naruto and Sasuke.
Clearing her throat, she straightens and clenches her fists. "My goal is to make sure my teammate's goals are realized."
Kakashi's eyes gleam.
Sasuke is sure he sees an interested grin spread over their sensei's mouth before a blank façade is put up again.
"We'll meet at the training grounds at five in the morning. Survival training. No breakfast."
And in a poof he is gone, three genin eyeing the spot a little suspiciously.
Enjoy! Tell me your thoughts! :)
