Chapter 6: A New Friend?

"Congratulations. From here on out you are now students of the Konoha Ninja Academy." Shizune said to them, there were a total of twenty four passing students.

Eleven from Leaf, six from Sound, three from Cloud, two from Rock, one from Mist, and one from Sand. She smiled Compared to last year, there are quite a number of Leaf genin here... But also from Sound.

"From here on our you are now genin. But now I will explain to you what genin is. It is the lowest rank of a shinobi, next is Chuunin, then Jounin. Once you reach second year and above you can enter the Chuunin exams. When you're already a Chuunin and fourth year and up you can enter the Jounin exams. You can even enter the Chuunin exams years after you graduate."

The class snickered at this. Shizune just smiled "Getting Chuunin is very difficult, especially Jounin. In fact no one in fourth year is Jounin, and from second year to fourth year only six are Chuunin. The rest get into a higher rank after they graduate. So no need to feel down if you fail while still attending the school.

"Now I know you are aware of the major teams for the competition, you represent your own village. And right now your year batch are your allies and rivals. So far this is the first year we have a solo, even two of them." She said glancing at the one from Mist and Sand.

"But now are the teams. These teams mainly follow your team in the competition. But most of you will be left out, leaving some teams with different shinobi. In this small team, of mainly three, you will be assigned a Jounin, who might be a regular Jounin shinobi, or even one of your senseis. In this team you will accomplish missions together to raise your class standing, and they will be your regular groupmates in projects.

"Your team will be called, the name of your Jounin, or if you wish to change it, only into a number. And..." Shizune was deep in thought Is there anything else? She shrugged "That's all I need to explain, and if you have any other questions ask your Jounin or senseis. But now I will assign you the teams."

She grabbed a scroll "Kiyu and Rumro from Rock and Haku from Mist will be Team Zabuza."

Sakura's eyes widened.

Then that means...

NOOOOOOOOO!!

Shut up! Who knows? We might get paired up with Hinata-chan!

The ones from Cloud will be a team, and two teams will come from Sound! Meaning we'll join the four teams in Leaf! What make you so sure we have a good chance at being with Hina-chan!

Think positive!

I know, but still! T.T

Stop acting like a baby!

"Kimimaru, Dosu, and Tayuya are Team Kabuto. Jiroubou, Kidoumaru, and Sakon are Team Mizuki." Sakon and his brother are known as one student. Since they literally are stuck to each other. And just imagine that they're all twelve and thirteen year olds.

"Feleka, Tiyu, and Jalen from Coud are Team Ebisu(They won't be included much in the story, them along with the ones in Sound and Rock are just fillers)

"Tenten, Hyuuga Neji, and Rock Lee will be Team Gai."

We don't have the lovebirds and Lee.

That's good. But I was kinda hoping for the two. Its fun teasing them!

"Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino will be Team Kurenai."

NOOOOOOOOO!!

Hinata-chan won't be our teammate!!

"Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Chouji will be Team Asuma."

...

...

We're stuck with the blonde loudmouth and the emotionless prodigy!!

I kinda like the Uchiha though.

Yeah, he seems like a nice friend to help control Naruto.

That's not what I mean.

Then what is so special about him?

... You really are as clueless as Naruto.

"Then that means Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke from Leaf and Haruno Sakura from Sand will be Team Kakashi." Shizune said closing the scroll and faced them "You are dismissed and can have lunch now. You will meet at this classroom after lunch, and meet your assigned Jounins." Then Shizune disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Sakura quickly ran to Hinata "Hinata-chan!" She complained "I'm not paired up with you! Heck! My two teammates are practically polar opposites!"

Hinata raised an eyebrow "Opposites?"

"Even in the way they dress is the exact opposite."

"Good point. But at least you have Sasuke-san."

"Yeah, he can help me deal with Naruto."

"Thats not what I mean." Sakura raised an eyebrow Just like what inner said. "Then what is so special about him?"

"... You really are as clueless as Naruto-kun." Hinata muttered but Sakura was able to hear and her eyes widened.

Wow, she is good at copying others without even knowing!

Then they headed to the cafeteria "What about you Hinata-chan? Are you okay with your teammates?"

Hinata shrugged "They're okay. But they kinda are also opposites. Kiba-kun is as loud as Naruto and Shino-kun is as quiet as Sasuke-san. Though they have things they take care of."

"You mean Akamaru and Shino's bugs?"

"Yes. But..."

"But?"

"They aren't exactly friends."

"Enemies?"

"No, they just don't talk to each other... Well Shino-kun is the one that's doesn't talk to anyone." Hinata told her, but then spotted the two waving at her, she glanced at Sakura.

She smiled "Time to make them friends." Sakura told her. Hinata nodded then headed to her teammtes.

Sakura looked around but didn't see Naruto or Sasuke, she turned around but bumped into a boy. A Hyuuga to be precise.

"Haruno." he said. "Neji." she replied. Then she noticed he was alone. "Neji?"

"What?"

"If you have no one to be with at lunch today, can I join you?" He raised an eyebrow at the sudden show of kindness but just shrugged it off "Fine Haruno."

"Sa-ku-ra. Not Haruno."

"Hn."

...

He talks just like Gaara.

Then they sat at a table "What happened to your teammates?" She asked him.

"They had to call their parents and tell them they passed." he answered "Yours?"

"I have no idea where those boys are." she said. "But how come you didn't call your parents?"

"My uncle kinda already knew that I was going to pass." he answered.

"Your uncle?" she asked puzzled.

"Yeah, he's the head of the clan."

"Hinata-chan's dad?"

"Yeah. You know him?"

"Must be a bad father to let his daughter stay in a dorm when she has a home here. Do you stay in a dorm too?" Sakura asked.

He shook his head "No. Is she your roommate?"

"Yup..."

Silence came. Thought it wasn't a comfortable one, it was tense and awkward "Talk about awkward silence." Sakura pointed out.

Neji raised an eyebrow "Most people usually don't talk about the silence to break it."

"Well, I'm not like most people."

"Your pink hair says that already."

"Hey!"

"Is it even natural?"

"Yes! In fact it is! What about you? It even looks like you spend more time on it then me."

"I don't spend time on my hair."

"Really now? It looks so shiny!" Sakura said in a childish voice.

Neji raised an eyebrow at that statement "That sounded very immature."

Sakura shrugged "I'm twelve. I have the right to act immature before I turn thirteen and hit puberty."

"Hn."

"Okaaay. You are simply great company."

"Is that sarcasm?"

"No... Yes... I don't really know." Sakura said.

Neji rolled his eyes "And you're the worst company."

She asked the same question "Is that sarcasm?"

"No... Yes... I don't really know."

"Hey! At least be original!" she pointed out.

He rolled his eyes again. Sakura noted this and smiled. He noted her smile and asked "What are you smiling at?"

"If you really look at it, your eyes are kinda pretty."
