The class was in an uproar when word of the beatdown Kasumi gave the Uchiha got to the students. With the exception of him, every boy in the class gave her a standing ovation. Hinata had to hide her grin; she disliked him on principal, as far as she was concerned the boy was as arrogant and self-serving as her clan's elders, not counting her father.

Sakura, on the other hand, was absolutely livid. She immediately took it upon herself to pummel Kasumi for halfway maiming her 'precious Sasuke-kun' and Naruto simply for being her boyfriend, along with several other of the brooder's hardcore followers.

"I swear, if she worked as hard at being a ninja as she does trying to get the Emo's attention, she'd be pretty damn scary." Naruto muttered to Shino as he watch the pink-haired girl plow her way through half of the fanclub to get the only seat beside her crush.

"Quite." The stoic Aburame responded.

"Kinda sad, really. Aside from Hinata, that Yamanaka girl seems to be the only one that actually makes an effort to be a kunoichi. The rest look like they enrolled just to be around the Uchiha." Kasumi commented in mild disgust.

"Settle down, all of you!" Iruka yelled, getting their attention, "Ok, it's time to announce your genin teams. Listen up as I call out your names and the Jounin who'll be training you." He began going down the list. Naruto decided to let his mind wander until he heard, "Team 7 will be Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno.."

He was rudely interrupted by a shriek of "CHA! TAKE THAT, INO-PIG! TRUE LOVE CONQUERS ALL!" (If you can't guess who, you should be beaten silly with a fresh tuna)

"I pity the poor bastard that gets stuck with those two." Naruto said, getting a faint nod of agreement from Shino before...

"..And Naruto Uzumaki"

"Nani?!" Naruto yelped, "Aw, come on Iruka-Sensei! What'd I do to you to get put on a team with those mental cases??" He whimpered, getting glares from said 'cases'.

Iruka chuckled, although he did feel a little bad for putting him with those two; Sakura was top in class when it came to book smarts, but she forsook everything else to try and impress the dark-haired boy. And Naruto and Sasuke just didn't like each other at all, "I'm sorry, Naruto. Your test scores are impressive, but you've only been here a month. Unfortunately that isn't enough time to properly test you." He said with an honestly regretful tone, "Your Jounin sensei is Kakashi Hatake."

(other teams are canon)

"Well, your senseis will be here shortly. All I can say is good luck with your teams." With that, Iruka left the room and a few minutes later the joinins arrived and gathered up their respective teams. For some reason, Team 8's sensei, a kunoichi named Kurenai Yuuhi, felt the need to stare at him like he was a ghost for a few minutes until her team nudged her out the door.

It wasn't long before Team 7 was the only one left..and they were STILL there two hours later.

"WHERE IS THIS GUY!?" Sakura yelled, visibly miffed. After a few more minutes of their sensei being a no-show, she went back to trying to flirt with Sasuke.

As if finally giving her an answer, the door opened to reveal a white-haired man with a mask covering half his face and his headband pulled down over his left eye. The uncovered one looked at the three of them in a rather lazy fashion.

"My first impression of you is...you're all kinda weird." He said, getting the stink eye from the pink-haired kunoichi, "Meet me on the roof in five minutes With that, he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"That's the pot calling the kettle black." Naruto said as he went upstairs, Sasuke and Sakura right behind him.

"All right." Kakashi piped up once they were all together, "Why don't we get to know each other as a team? Who wants to go first?"

"Why don't you start us off, Sensei?" Sakura asked, trying to make a good impression.

Kakashi shrugged, "Name's Kakashi Hatake. I have likes and dislikes. My hobbies are my own and my dream is nothing for you to be concerned with."

"All he told us was his name.." The three genins thought in annoyance.

"Ok, you next broody-boy." Kakashi pointed at Sasuke, earning a glare.

"Sasuke Uchiha. I have few likes and many dislikes. I have no hobbies, and my ambition is to kill a certain man and restore my clan to its proper glory." The boy said, barely moving a muscle as Sakura squealed over how cool he was.

"COUGHEMOCOUGH" Naruto muttered.

"Great, an 'avenger'. Kami..." He pointed at Sakura, "Your turn pinky."

Sakura shot him a dirty look before started, "I'm Sakura Haruno..." With the exception of shouting that she disliked Naruto and Ino, everything else mostly involved looking towards Sasuke then blushing and squealing.

"Fangirl.." Kakashi and Naruto sighed in unison.

"All right, your turn, Mask" The jounin looked at Naruto, his uncovered eye widening in shock as the blond pulled off his mask, "The hell..? He looks just like Minato-Sensei! Well..minus the whisker marks.."

"Name's Naruto Uzumaki. Likes..well, a good fight, especially one that I happen to be involved in, ramen, my girlfriend, Kasumi, making out with said girlfriend. Dislikes: stuck-up emos and their fangirls, dumbasses who hate others for something the person has no control over, and idiots who think they have a right to lord over others. My hobbies are cooking, gardening, training..oh, and beating the crap out of people who deserve it. My dream..I'm still trying to make up my mind on that, but I'll pick one sooner or later." He finished with his usual grin.

"Well, at least he seems normal, more or less." Kakashi thought before clearing his throat, "Well, now that we're done with introductions. I expect to see you all bright and early tomorrow for your final test."

"But we already took the finals!" Sakura protested

The one-eyed jounin grinned, "That was simply to sort out those who really wanted to become ninja. The one I'M going to give will see if you can actually BE shinobi. Meet at Training Ground 7 at 8 sharp. Oh, and I'd advise against eating breakfast unless you want it coming back up. Bye" He vanished again, leaving the three alone.

No sooner did he leave than Kasumi appeared out of nowhere, making Sakura scream in fright and Sasuke glare at her hatefully, "Now that we have the rest of the day open.." She grinned as she wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck, "You're buying me some dango, Naruto-kun."

The other two could only watch as she lept off the side with boyfriend in tow.

"At least that baka's gone. Sasuke-kun, you wanna go...?" Sakura turned only to find her crush had left as well, "Sasuke-kun?"
