Regarding the reviews
Ok last chapter this section took up too much space so here is a short version
Challenger-I might do that. Right now, though, I'm focusing on This fanfic.
Kkzilla1-Tanks for your support, but my high school finals are coming up and I might not be able to. Although, I get outta school this Thursday so it will continue soon.
This chapter is going to be when they get assigned teams, which I'm making four genin and a jonin, except one team which will also have a chunin helping out.
Sorry for the mix up this is chapter three. Thank you Kael Hyun for correcting my mistake.
--At Team Assignments--
Naruto was asleep as Iruka called out the first teams. Then he woke-up right before Iruka called out, "Team Seven will be one of the three teams that will have four team members as a result of too many students that have passed the exam. It will be made up of Akimichi Choji, Hyuuga Hinata, Nara Shikamaru and Uzumaki Naruto, Their Sensei will be Hatake Kakashi. Team Eight will also have four and will be Aburame Shino, Inuzuka Kiba, Nyaki Nekoyoshi, and Yamanaka Ino, with Yuhi Kurenai as their sensei." Naruto zoned out when he looked at Ino.
She was pouting about how she wasn't on Naruto's team. Naruto gave a short sigh. He was glad that she wasn't on his team. 'Wait,' Naruto thought with a smile under his mask, 'Everybody else has been called up for their teams, which means Sasuke has…' Iruka said, "Team Ten will also have four genin. They are Fujiatsusa Chinatsuhime, Haruno Sakura, Koubaouken Takehiko and Uchiha Sasuke. Oh, their sensei will be Sarutobi Asuma and Uhiha Obito asked to be an apprentice sensei this year as a chunin."
Naruto noticed that Sasuke wasn't happy that he was on a team with his two biggest fan girls. Plus, his guardian was helping out with Asuma. He shot Naruto a look that said "Kill me now". Naruto snickered as he thought that he was glad that he didn't have any fam girls on his team, or so he thought. Shikamaru even laughed at Sasuke's team arrangment.
Naruto started to walk out the door after everybody left. Hinata asked, "N-Naruto where are you going? I-isn't Kakashi-sensei going to be here soon?" "BWAHAHAHA!! KAKASHI GETTING HERE ON TIME! THAT'S FUNNY HINATA-CHAN! No, he's always late I figure we have about an hour before he comes here. I'm gonna get some ramen, see ya in about fourty-five minutes." He dashed of before anyone could ask how he knew Kakashi.
--An Hour Later--
Naruto was back, with a full stomach. Kakashi walked in the door and Naruto said, "Hmmm, your early. Wanted to make a good impression on those three." Kakashi smiled under his mask, closed his eye and said, "Why yes Naruto-kun, I did. I also wanted to see what I thought about you guys. My first thoughts are…Positive."
They went off to a place to talk. Kakashi said, "Okay lets introduce ourselves. I'll go first. My name is Kakashi Hatake. My likes, dislikes and dreams are none of your business. Okay go pineapple head." Shikamaru sighed and said, "My name is Shikamaru Nara. I like watching the clouds, sleeping and playing Shogi. My dislikes are going things that require energy, troublesome women and actual effort. My goal in life is to marry a women who is not too pretty and not too ugly and have one boy and a girl." Kakashi thought, 'He is realistic, a low flyer, but realistic none the less. His goal isn't ambitious, but it is something that he wants.'
Then he said, "Okay your turn Akimichi." Choji nodded and said, "My name is Choji Akimichi. I like barbeque, potato chips and my friends. I dislike it when people make fun of me by calling me fatty or such. I hope to become a ninja in the ANBU agency and keep connections with my friends." 'Hmmm, he has average concerns. He seems pretty team oriented,' was Kakashi's thoughts. He then pointed to Hinata who was ready.
"H-hello. My name is H-Hinata Hyuuga. My likes are gar-gardening, my friends and talking to my sister Hanabi. My dislikes are flowers dieing and my failed attempts at things. I one day hope to be the pride and joy of the Hyuuga clan and teach other genin to be ninjas," she said. Kakashi thought, 'She seems to have a confidence problem, hopefully we can fix that little problem.' Kakashi then said, "Blondie, what are you like?"
Naruto casually said, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, like you didn't know that. I like my friends, my family, ramen, and girls. I don't like the time it takes to cook ramen, people who don't even try to act friendly at times, and when my dad has extreme amounts of work. Everybody knows it is my dream to surpass my dad and become Hokage of the village." Kakashi smirked as he thought, 'Same old Naruto. I wonder why is it that he holds back so much.'
"Okay everyone tomorrow we will meet at training ground seventeen. Oh, don't eat breakfast or you'll throw-up," said Kakashi. Naruto said, "Oh are we going to be doing a certain bell test tomorrow? The results of which will decide if we stay genin." Kakashi kept his usual bored look, but thought, 'Damn his father telling him about the test.' Naruto smiled as Kakashi disapeared in a puff of smoke.
--Next Mourning--
Naruto was at the training ground. He had already eaten because he knew the test. He told his friends to eat too. Then Kakashi arrived in a puff of smoke an hour late. He was yelled at by all the guys and then he said, "Naruto-kun you were right. This is going to be the bell test, or at least it was. Now it is a test to capture me for thirty seconds. Whoever catches me will get a prize."
Naruto watched as his sensei went into the forest. Naruto stopped everyone from splitting up. He said, "The point of these after graduation tests is to measure teamwork. That's what we'll do this as, a team. Hinata-chan use your Byakugan to look around, Choji-kun and I will be the frontal attack with suport from Hinata-chan, we'll push him towards you Shikamaru-kun. After that we just pin him." Shikamaru said, "Hey, why do get to make the plan? Hinata-chan is more then capable to do it, Choji-kun too. I could do it, but that's too troublesome."
Naruto said, "It is because I know Kakashi-sensei the best. He is an Ex-ANBU agent, was a jonin at the age of twelve and has the famous Sharingan hidden under that headband." Shikamaru gulped and then said, "Okay, we're going with Naruto's plan…Just make sure I don't Have to fight him."
With Hinata they easily found their sensei and got Shikamaru into place. "Okay Shikamaru-kun are you ready? You are the most vital part of our plan." Shikamaru nodded and mumbled something about a troublesome blonde. "Choji-kun now!!" cried Naruto. "Bubun Baika no Jutsu (Partial Multi-size Jutsu)," Choji said as a giant fist came flying towards Kakashi. He jumped back and put awat his perv book.
Then ten Narutos came and blocked off on way to escape and Hinata another. Kakashi thought, 'Do they expect me to fall for this.' Just then his limbs locked up as the Naruto closest to him turned into Shikamaru. Naruto said, "Good plan to throw off Kakashi with a different one knowing he was listening." Kakashi was embarrassed that he was out smarted by his own students.
Shikamaru just smiled and said, "Well based off the information you gave to me yesterday on our sensei's abillities I was able to make a plan knowing that clones would be patroling. Oh and nice acting by the way." Naruto laughed and said, "Well make sure he doesn't escape. Oh and I guess I can wear this now." Naruto pulled out a silver leaf headband and put it on without letting anyone see his scar.
Hinata was gaurding Kakashi with her bloodline active, Choji with his giant fists and Naruto with, well fifty of himselves. "Five, four, three, two, one," uttered Shikamaru who was keeping track of the time. "Congrats to all of you, you pass. The first group in years to do so."
--At Jonin Meeting--
The Yondaime was there and he said, "So…How did all the tems do?" It was unusual, but straight to the point. A female stepped up and said, "Only three teams passed. The three teams with four members. Huh…That's funny Kakashi hasn't passed anyone in years but this team that everybody said wouldn't passed did."
Kakashi said, "Have you ever thought that they might hold themselves back? Shikamaru is smart, but too lazy to do anything. Choji has a lot of strength, but isn't that willing to fight. Hinata is a good ninja, but is trapped by her shyness. Naruto is…" "A moron," someone finished.
The Yondaime looked mad, "He's my son ya know." The one who said it froze up as he heard that. He than smiled and said, "Well say hello to the Rookie Twelve. Man that's weird to say."
--Naruto's House--
Minato got home and Naruto asked, "So Tousan, get stuck at a meeting?" Minato just nodded and tossed Naruto a scroll. Naruto was confused and looked at his dad. His father just said, "Summoning contract." Naruto was shocked, he didn't think his father was going to let him sign the contract yet.
He then noticed that it was small and said, "Aren't the strongest summoning contract copies…bigger?" Minato nodded. Naruto continued, "Then why is this one so small?" Minato said, "Just like you said the strongest COPIES are big. This is actually the strongest for the toads. It is a legendary original contract. One of the few left in exsitince. Notice how it is made."
Then Naruto did look at it. It was old, but was make perfectly. The wood was a special one that Naruto could only identify as an ancient Japanese cidar that was incrusted with unidentifiable crytals. Its paper was fine and had an even grain. "H-how does it work?" asked Naruto.
"Well it's simple, but different from the current process. You just sign your name, roll it up and pour chakra into it until the jewels light up," explained the current Hokage. Naruto did exactly as he was told, but something interesting happened the crystals started to produce a soothing flame outside of it.
"Lucky, lucky…That means that you get tto be able to summon past the boss toad. It's to be expeted, though. That trait is normally pasted down from parent to child. Oh hold on," said his dad as he started doing something weird. Then the kanji for toad formed on his left hand. Minato smiled and said, "Just store chakra in there every now and again so you don't actually have to spend it on this. When you want to activate it put some blood on it and decide how much chakra you want to use. Try out your summoning."
Naruto went outside and did the hand seals as he didn't store any chakra in the seal and slammed his palm to the ground. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Jutsu)," Naruto yelled pouring much of his chakra into the jutsu.
Minato smirked as he saw a huge puff of smoke summoned and he knew who it was. "Oi, Gamabunta-san it would seem that my son summoned you," He yelled to the giant toad. "Ehh? This little guy? That's pretty impressive, but I'm afraid that you can only summon me in dire situations…That is until you are old enough to be a drinking partner," said the giant toad. Naruto just nodded amazed that he was actually able to summon.
--On a mission--
"Okay target is in sight. ready to deploy capture, Shikamaru-kun?" asked Naruto. "Hai," was his response. "Now!" exclaimed Naruto. Naruto, Choji and Hinata bursted from their spots and surronded their target which had no choice, but to run into Shikamaru's shadow.
"Target has been captured. Total elapsed time from the moment we got the mission to now was six minutes, thanks to Hinata's tracking skills," said Shikamaru. Hinata walked over and picked up the captured cat, who started to purr.
They turned the cat in and got congratulated for having the record. Minato said, "I'm geussing that you want a C-rank mission now. I have the perfect one. Tazuna-san, come in now." An older man came in with an unopened bottle of sake in his hand. Naruto caught a wiff of it and said, "Wave sake. That is some good stuff. I have some Iwa sake that doesn't produce the same taste, but is more fine. I'll let you have some of mine if I can have a glass of yours." Tazuna laughed and said, "I like this kid. Here I'll trade you this bottle for yours. I have always loved Iwa sake."
Kakashi gave Minato a stern look and said, "Isn't Naruto to young to drink?" Minato said, "Hey, me and my wife both say 'Old enough to kill, old enough to do anything'." Kakashi looked disapointed in his sensei. Minato smiled and said, "You will be escorting Tazuna-san back to Wave country. Meet out in front of the gates in one hour. Kakashi that means ONE hour."
--One Hour later--
Kakashi was surprisingly on time. As they were walking Naruto was talking to Tazuna. He was mainly talking about the sake of various places, the effects of said sake and the tastes. Then Naruto asked, "So what's the Wave country like?" Tazuna hesitated and then said, "It's a wonderful place that is isolated from the other countries. I'm building a bridge that will make transport of goods easier for our country." Naruto just smirked and nodded.
As they were walking down the road Naruto noticed a puddle. It was there despite the fact it didn't rain last night. He braced himself for a fight and he noticed that Kakashi noticed it too, but was pretending he didn't. Then when they were a good distance away two chunin jumped out of it and attacked Tazuna. Kakashi stopped the first one with his own chain, but the one with the claw managed to get by.
Naruto extended his fist out to the claw as his sensei cried, "No Naruto, mist-nin poison their blade weapons." The claw broke as it made contact to Naruto, but it looked like the claw nicked him. Kakashi and his team ran over to Naruto, but noticed that there was no cut. Kakashi looked at Naruto and said, "How was your punch able to break though that strong steel?"
Choji then said, "Yeah I've actually wanted to know for a while, but how were you able to match Sasuke-san's sword with your hand?" Naruto just said, "Wind." Hinata said, with a blush, "N-Naruto that do-doesn't explain much." Naruto continued, "Ah Hinata-chan, but it does. I have an affinity with wind-type chakra, which is perfect for blades. I started to think, 'well what if I channel it the same way only in my body parts?' So I tried it and my taijutsu attacks became stronger then swords."
Kakashi was impressed by his student's taijutsu capabilities. He was able to beat a chunin in a quick combo. "Tazuna is there something you're not telling us? That was a ninja attack. This mission is at least a B-rank. What is your story?" asked Kakashi. Tazuna sighed and told them about the evils of Gato and how he needed to build the bridge.
Naruto was pissed. He wanted to rip off Gato's head and he said, "Let's go to Wave country. We'll even stay there until the bridge is done." Kakshi smiled and nodded, "On one condition. When everything is normal again you pay for an A-rank mission." Tazuna nodded.
