Naruto: Children of the Ninja

Italics are character's thoughts.

A.N-In this chapter Haruka will be introducing the characters through her thoughts. Naruto is not Hokage yet in this story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I own the o.c's described in the previous chapter.


In the corner of the schoolyard Haruka Uzumaki was practicing the Jyuuken on "her" tree.

"My name is Haruka Uzumaki and I am the number one rookie in my year and almost all of the kid's my age hate me. They think I think I'm better than them"

Haruka brought her hand centimeters from the tree. It was shown affective when a large indent appeared in the tree.

"A lot of the adults in the village love me because my mother was Hinata Uzumaki and everyone says she was the kindest person in the village, also my father is Naruto Uzumaki who is one of the strongest Jonin in our village of Konohagakure."

She sits down leaning her head against the tree.

"I don't care about anything except getting stronger."

Haruka looks over to her brother surrounded by people. He's laughing good-naturedly.

"Over there is my brother Haku, he's really popular and he jokes constantly. Life is a joke to him. Haku knows how to make anyone smile, even Uncle Neji"

She turns to a chubby boy. "That's Nobu Akimichi he's always eating and is good friends with Ichie Nara."

"Then there is Daichi Aburame, he's really quiet and mysterious. He's always collecting bugs." Daichi bends over and picks up what appears to be a large black insect. "He is best friends with Inuzuka Hotaka."

A boy with a little brown dog recoils at the large insect. "What do you see in these things Daichi?" Hotaka asks exasperated, looking at the strange bug.

"That's Hotaka Inuzuka, he's always with his dog Taiji, he's usually loud and he's really nice to me for some weird reason(Hotaka is nice to her because he wants to respect his dad's wishes of being nice to her even though he hates her).

Haruka gets up and sits on the swing that hangs from the branch of "her" tree.

"Then there are the girls my age, there is Sakurako Lee (A.N Someone informed me that Lee was his first name but I didn't know what other last name to give her) she is Miss Popularity and she works really hard."

Sakurako is sitting on a bench chattering with some other girls. Ichie is staring up at the clouds utterly content.

"Sakurako's best friend is Ichie Nara. Ichie's really brainy, she's also pretty loud, and loves flowers. She works part time in her grandparent's flower shop."

Haruka turns to look over at the river. There she sees a girl stooping over the river sticking her hand into the cool water.

"Then there's Kei, the orphan. Kei was left at the village gates a while ago. She doesn't remember much about her past life except that she used to have a brother. She's really quiet and nobody knows much about her except that she wants to kill her younger brother."

Shikamaru walks out of the classroom, yawning. Troublesome. He only took this job so he didn't have to become a Jonin sensei for a genin team as was Tsunade-sama's previous indictment.

"Come on class, time for lessons." Shikamaru called out in his usual bored voice.

The student's trudge into the classroom each taking their appropriate seats.

"We have a new student today," Shikamaru yawns. A boy with dark hair heads toward the front of the class. "Tell us your name," Shikamaru orders not even bothering to look up.

The boy gives the class a small smile and in a loud clear voice gives his name "My name is Sasuke Uchiha."
