Naruto: Children of the Ninja

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. However I do own the o.c's and I guess I do own the plot of this story.
Around the same time Lee was talking with his team…
Neji takes his team to the banks of a small river, a thick forest surrounding them, a training pole placed carelessly by the water's edge. Haruka's forehead protector was tied around her neck, with the two boy's around there forehead. The team is extremely silent on the way over. Not a single word is exchanged. Haruka seems to be controlling the regulation of noise with a look that clearly says "say one word and you die."
Neji has them sit down. "I need to know your likes, dislikes, and dreams for the future," he says in his cool manner. His keen instincts told him something was up with this group. There was a certain deal of tension. The Inuzuka kid was looking especially nervous.
Daichi sits in between Haruka and Hotaka, Haruka's face is expressionless as usual.
"Who wants to go first?"
Daichi looks at Hotaka who is looking at Haruka fearfully. Daichi sighs and reluctantly raises his hand.
"Yes," Neji nodded indicating Daichi to go first. The Aburame boy should be quite skilled.
Daichi starts off on a quiet, even tone, "I am Daichi Aburame, I like bugs, I dislike egotistical people, and those who kill bugs, and my dreams for the future are to be a tracking specialist, using my power over insects to track down any criminal."
Neji nods. This boy was going to be a powerful ninja. "Next," he says looking over his students. Hotaka tentatively raises his hand. "Yes," Neji nods toward Hotaka.
"My name is Hotaka Inuzuka and this is Taiji," he picks up his little brown dog similar to Akamaru. "I like dogs, and I dislike cats and people who try to act like something they're not, and my dream is to head the canine track and capture squad, with Taiji as lead canine." Once Hotaka started talking he was reluctant to finish. "My brother Kishin says that job belongs to him, but I know its definitely mine." Hotaka rambles. He stops talking when he sees his sensei and his two teammates glaring at him.
He is so noisy! Is their inner unanimous decision.
Neji turns to face Haruka.
"My name is Haruka Uzumaki, I like training and meditating," Haruka then blushes with a frown on her face, "And pressing flowers," she mutter quickly. Everyone had heard her.
Daichi and Hotaka keep cool expressions but inside they ware shaking with laughter. The great Haruka Uzumaki likes to press flowers.
Neji however frowns sternly. Pressing flowers would not help in any ninja training.
"I dislike many things, and I do not wish to discuss my dreams," Haruka finishes.
Neji than nods for the third time, "Alright, let's get to the point; you are not genin yet,"
Hotaka's mouth drops open in shock.
"The academy exam was just practice; your real exam will be given in this training area tomorrow by me."
Hotaka growls angry. Taiji starts barking. "What wrong Hotaka?" Taiji asks. "Later," Hotaka mutters to the small brown dog.
Haruka doesn't even blink. Whatever she would just pass tomorrow's exam. There was no force on Earth that could stop her!
