Hi everyone! Sorry I didn't update sooner. I barely got out of school Friday and I didn't have any time to write this chapter until yesterday.

Naruto: How do we know your not lying?

Me: Why would I lie?

Naruto: You might want to sound honest so people could review

Me: I AM NOT! (Hits him with a mallet and he falls unconscious)

Me: Ouch...That's gonna hurt him in the morning. Anyway...I do not own Naruto or any of its characters because if I did, there would be a little more romance in it. Now on with the show!

Sasuke POV

Just seconds before we had to get ready for the dobe's death, Iruka-sensei came in.

Perfect timing

"Alright now, class. Quiet down." Iruka said. No one paid him any attention. Even Hinata and I weren't paying attention. We were too busy talking about what's better, tomatoes or cinnamon buns.

"Tomatoes are way better than those sweet things" I said trying to win the fight. I had a small smile on my face that only Hinata can see.

"N-no cinnamon buns taste great, and are very good" she tried to do the puppy dog eyes on me. If I wasn't used to not giving up, I would have given in. Part of me wanted to give in to her just to see her smile, but I didn't. Just as I was about to speak again, Iruka got irritated at us.

"BE QUIET!!!!" shouted our sensei. All of us went silent. Even Naruto and the crazy fan girls seem to stop what they were doing. Scared of what he might do, all of them sat down to the nearest seat. Unfortunately, the pink haired psycho sat down on the right side of me and the dobe sat next to her. So it was Hinata, me, pinky, and dobe.

It took a while for Iruka-sensei to calm down. Then he started with this speech about how our lives as ninjas have just began and all that useless stuff. Then he said something that surprised everyone.

"This year class we are trying something new. Instead of the 3 man squad and jounin sensei that we usually do, the third hokage wants to try out a new method. Now listen carefully" he took a deep breath and began," the teams will now only include 2 genins per team.

Normal POV

To say that all the students were shocked was the understatement of the year. All their eyes widened in the shock. Even the Uchiha prodigy had his eyes wide like saucers.

"NANI?!! WHY WOULD THE OLD MAN SUDDENLY CHANGE THE SYSTEM? WE'VE BEEN USING IT FOR YEARS! WHY THE SUDDEN CHANGE? " asked a very annoyed Naruto. (He's a little smarter, isn't he?)

Iruka let out an annoyed sigh. "Naruto, the 3rd hokage wants to try something different this year, so let me continue. If I hear one more word out of ANY of you, you'll be back in the academy and won't become genins!"

Everyone stayed quiet after that.

"Good, now as I was saying," Iruka looked at his clipboard," There would be two gennin for each squad. Two teams will share one sensei. It would be good to try to get along with your partner and other team since you will see each other often. Your partner is going to help you train, and help you in other ways and vice-versa." Iruka said. All the students were still shocked and annoyed (especially a certain blond ninja) but didn't say anything.

"Now…on with the teams!" Iruka said trying to cheer up the kids. To his pleasure, most of his students were now excited. (I really don't want to make up new names, so I'll skip some teams.)

"Team 1 is…"

"Team 2 is…"

A few unimportant teams later…

"Team 7 is Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno."

"YES!!!!" screamed Naruto. Then he stood up on the desk and started dancing.

I'm paired with HIM? Asked inner Sakura. "I'm doomed" groaned Sakura while putting her head down.

"Iruka pretended to ignore that and continued with the teams. "Team 8 is Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame"

"Team 9 is Neji Hyuuga and Tenten"

"Team 10 is Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akamichi"

From this point on, the young gennin were looking at who their partners were. Some had looks of excitement while others with a WTF look.

"And finally, Team 12 is Hinata Hyuuga and Sasuke Uchiha." Everyone gasped and went silent at the two names. The two people called stared at each other with wide eyes.

Why couldn't Sasuke-kun be my partner instead of the idiot! Cried Inner Sakura.

Hinata and Sasuke? Wow, didn't see that one coming, thought Naruto, Poor Hinata. I hope she'll be okay…WAIT A MINUTE! Why do I even care for Hinata? And why do I have these feeling in my chest? SNAP OUT OF IT UZUMAKI! You like Sakura-chan and NOT Hinata…right?

"Guess we're on the same team, huh Hyuuga?" spoke Sasuke in his cold tone. He was happy on the inside though. No fan girls or the dobe. PARTY!

While Sasuke was having a dance party in his head, Hinata was still too shocked to answer, but she just nodded her head. Everyone was still staring at them and she felt a blush on her face. She felt uncomfortable.

This time, Iruka broke the awful silence, "OK, now that you know who your partner is, I'll assign you your sensei."

A few teams later…skip to Team 7.

"Team 7 and Team 12 will both have Kakashi sensei." (There are still some people who are shocked over the Sasuke/Hinata team)

"Team 8 and Team 9 will have Kurenai sensei."

"Team 10 will have Asuma sensei." Then a random girl raised her hand. "Iruka sensei, why does team 10 have a sensei all to themselves?"

"Well Hikari," Iruka began, "Team 10 was originally paired with Team 15. They, however, were chosen to become part of ROOT so they will train under a man named Danzo." Iruka had a small frown on when he said the man's name.

"Who was Team 15?"

"Team 15 is Sai and Ino Yamanaka." Iruka sighed.

Some kids then started asking more and more questions, but they were mostly saying one thing: Why them?

Iruka let out an annoyed sigh, "That is a classified reason, so I can't tell you. The only thing I'm allowed to tell is than Team 10 and Team 15 will train together in a couple of years once Team 15 is done with their training. Now…QUIET!" yelled the very annoyed sensei. People shut their mouths again.

"OK, so…congratulations on becoming ninjas! Please wait here until your sensei comes and picks up. Until then, talk with your partner and try to get to know each other," and with that he left.

With Sasuke and Hinata

"Hyuuga, you OK?" asked Sasuke.

"S-sure, w-why do you a-ask Sasuke-san?" replied a confused Hyuuga.

"Well, first of all your face has shocked written all over. Also, your face is red. Do you have a fever?" Sasuke hesitated but then he did something he's never done before. He placed his hand on Hinata's forehead.

"I-I-I'm f-fine Sasuke-san," stuttered a dazed Hinata/ No one has ever showed any kind of worry for her, especially not in the way Sasuke is doing right now. Not even her father touched her forehead to make sure she was OK. As soon as Hinata told Sasuke she was fine, she felt a killer intent behind her. Sasuke also seemed to feel it, so they both turned around to see every girl glaring at them.

"S-sasuke-san?" Hinata whispered still looking at the girls.

"Hai?" replied Sasuke while looking at his "fan club", who he thought were complete maniacs.

I-I'm glad I'm your partner so y-you wouldn't get stuck with any of…t-them," Hinata rushed the words, but Sasuke heard it perfectly.

"Thanks…Hinata," Sasuke gave her a small smile, and Hinata returned it. This little display just caused the glares to intensify. The two gennin quickly turned around and scooted down their seats thinking the same thing.

I can really used to my teammate…but I really don't want to be killed by fan girls just yet.

With Naruto and Sakura

Sakura-chan! Go on a date with me!" pleaded a desperate Naruto. He was on his knees, bowing down to Sakura (he's really desperate, it's sad).

Sakura on the other hand had a little smirk on. She was glad she was treating her like she was royalty, but she was creeped out it was Naruto and not "her" Sasuke-kun.

"Hmmmm…let me think about it," Sakura started. Naruto's face lit up instantly since he still had a chance to win over Sakura. "No" she said. Naruto's face fell and then he crept to the nearest corner and a dark aura surrounded them. Sakura could hear him mumbling things like "why do the ramen gods hate me so?" and "the world is cruel to me".

Was it something I said? Sakura wondered.

With Neji and Tenten

"Hi! My name is Tenten," said girl spoke. She had a small smile on her face and had two buns on top of her head. He's sort of cute, she thought.

"Hn, Neji," spoke Neji in his cold tone (is he related to Sasuke, cuz they have the same attitude?)He didn't like the idea of having a girl for his partner.

"Well…um, nice to meet y-"she was cut off by the Hyuuga.

"Look, bun-girl," he started, "I really don't like the idea of a weakling being my partner. So don't bother me or else," and he finished it off by giving a glare at Neji.

Tenten was shocked. It took a few seconds for his words to finally sink in. Her shock was soon replaced with anger. " BUN-GIRL?" she said through her teeth.

"Yes."

"Well, you listen up, bishie," she inwardly grinned when Neji winced at the word "bishie". "I was just trying to be nice. The truth is, I wanted any other person in this room to be partner except you, because I don't want someone that is too…feminine and that thinks he's better than others." Smirked Tenten, and then she also glared at Neji.

Neji and Tenten said nothing more, but just glared at each other. It soon turned into a glaring contest. No one was backing out…but then again, they weren't blinking either.

Pretty good, thought Tenten, but not good enough, Hyuuga. I'll show you who's weak.

Bishie?!!, screamed Neji in his mind, And she had the nerve to call me…FEMININE! Who does she think she is? She is the only one that's ever stood up to me before, though. Maybe I was wrong about her…Nah, I'm always right. Fate tells me so.

The glaring contest raged on until who knows when.

With Kiba and Shino

"So…I guess we're teammates, huh?" asked Kiba. Shino just stared/glared at him. Who can really tell since he always wears his glasses?

"I guess we are…dog boy," said a calm Shino. He didn't even realize the little match in Kiba's head was just lit.

"Bugboy"

"Dogbreath"

"Creepy Crawler"

"Mutt"

"Eh?! Well at least my mom isn't creeped out by me, bug boy," Kiba smirked when he saw Shino's mouth turn to a small frown.

"Well, at least my mother isn't a female dog…" Shino left the sentence hanging waiting for Kiba to react.

Kiba's fuse was about to explode. It just needed one final push. "WHAT. ..!!!" asked the enraged boy. Akamaru started to growl at Shino (you didn't think I forgot about him, right?)

"A female dog"

"You bastard! You know what it means, right!"

"Yes, it's a bit-"

He was cut off by Kiba and Akamaru lunging at him. Shino dodged just in time, and then commanded his bugs to act like ropes and tie Kiba and Akamaru up.

"Dammit! Get these bugs off of me!" yelled an annoyed Kiba. He was struggling against the bugs but they wouldn't let go.

This is going to be a lot of fun, thought Shino as he watched Kiba struggling to get free.

With Shikamaru and Choji

"Mendoksai," yawned Shikamaru. "Well, at least you're on my team Choji which is a little better. The lazy ninja added.

"Yup!" agreed a happy Choji." Hey, why do you think Ino and Sai were chosen for ROOT?"

"Who knows?" replied a tired Shikamaru, "All I know is Ino is gone and not on my team." Then he leaned on his chair and closed his eyes.

Choji could not resist the urge to tease his friend," So you are saying…you miss Ino and you wanted her to be on your team?"

Shikamaru's eyes snapped open and he fell out of his chair. He looked at Choji wide-eyed. "W-what?"

Choji clutched his stomach while laughing hard,"S-sorry i-it w-w-was just a j-joke. Y-your face!" Then Choji couldn't talk anymore and just went on laughing.

Shika just got off from the ground, sat on his chair, and placed his head on the desk. He just murmured one word until he fell asleep. "Mendoksai"

Somewhere In Root (Ino and Sai)

"I'm Ino Yamanaka. What's yours?" asked a cheerful Ino. Ino was looking at a boy with jet black hair and pale skin. He was wearing a black shirt that reached to his thighs and green cargo pants (I changes his appearance cuz I don't like what he wears in the show).

He sure is cute, thought Ino.

"My name is Sai. Nice to meet you um…" Sai looked at her. Give a nickname that suits the person, remembered Sai, "Ugly."

There was a moment of silence. Sai was using his fake smile, and Ino's eye twitched. All of a sudden she lunged at Sai.

"TAKE THAT BACK YOU BASTARD!" screamed Ino. Ino punched, kicked, slapped, and threw everything around her at Sai. Let's just say, Sai never called Ino ugly, respected her and other girls, plus he has a new fear of chopsticks.

Back At the Academy

Most of the students were getting along with their new team mate. They talked and talked until the senseis finally arrived.

You should be proud if you read all of it. Tell me what you think! Ja Ne!
