It was a new day in Konoha and all the recent graduates had been called to the Academy to get their teams. Aina had been up early than she had planned. Even though she had arrived really late into the academy, she did manage to graduate in time with her new friends. Then why was she feeling so nervous? Maybe because the thought of being stuck with people she didn't know scared her. Almost three fourths of the class hated her.
There was no reason to hate her. She hasn't done anything to try and attempt to upset them in the first place. It shouldn't matter…It shouldn't…
Managing her way through her morning routine, Aina left her apartment and made her way to the academy. By the time she had arrived, almost everyone was already in the classroom eagerly awaiting the news. It was a big deal considering you were basically stuck with a three man group for the rest of your life. Your trust had to be placed with the teacher and the teammates all the Jounin and Hokage believe are best suited for each other.
An empty seat near the back called her name when she scanned the area. Walking up the steps, she could hearing whispers from the girls of the class. Many were jealous of the fact that she had quickly become friends with the two most popular boys, Koichi and Ryou. Even though there were the others, she was the main focus.
Rumours had gone around at one point after the exams that she was trying to find ways to kiss up to the Hokage and that was reason for her friendship with his son. With Ryou, some girls thought that Aina wanted to get in his pants just because of his looks. Geez, all Aina could smell was desperation. It seemed that girls just had nothing better to do than make up drama. All that energy could have been placed into something more productive.
All Aina did was roll her eyes and took a seat. One girl noticed it and got up. She made her way to where Aina was at and crossed her arms. "What's with the attitude? Don't like hearing the truth you dirty weasel?"
Her purple colored eyes looked up at the girl with an eyebrow raised. "Since when did you use your own name on other people?"
The room suddenly had gone silent at the remark. The green hair girl looked at Aina in shock. Suddenly her face became a bright red, "Excuse me? Do you know who you're even talking to?"
"Yep. Shinji Hoki. One of the most spoiled, unconsidered medical ninja in training in Konoha. You're hobbies include making yourself feel better by putting others down, spreading faking rumours and collecting fake jewelry. And I mean like really? Dirty weasel? That's all you could come up with? All you did was state a fact about an animal, not a clever characteristic of mine." Aina leaned back with her hands behind her head. "Last I checked, you barely even passed…" A large slapping noise echoed between the walls. Aina was stopped by Shinji with a hard slap to the face. A red hand print was marked on her left cheek.
"Don't you dare make up stuff about me you fool!" Shinji basically yelled at this point. Gasps went around at the scene being made between the two girls.
At the point, every single person was in the room except the teachers were there. Her friends didn't even know what to do at this point. Koichi was about to head up to the back rows before he was stopped by Ryou. He shook his head knowing that interfering was not a good idea at this point.
Aina placed a hand on her cheek and felt the warmth radiating from the hit. Shinji smirked at the girl thinking that nothing else would happen after that hit. Oh but she was wrong. Aina stood up and moved away from the desk. This time she was standing in front of Shinji looking her dead in the eye.
There was a weird sensation running through her veins suddenly. It was something much more that an experience of full adrenaline rush. Instead, she felt like a completely different person. Not only that, but before she didn't feel like herself either when she approached. What was wrong with her? This was definitely not something she would do. Normally she would have just ignored the situation and let people insult as long as they went on.
Shinji just looked back blankly with another smirk, "What? Not like you could do anything weakling."
That was the last straw. Her right hand formed a fist at this point and punched Shinji right in the stomach with all her force. The impact of the hit was strong enough that it sent Shinji down the stairs and hit the bottom level face first.
"What is going on in here?" A voice called out as the classroom door slide open at the exact moment Shinji was found down.
Naruto walked in to the aftermath of what happened. He saw Shinji on the ground in pain and quickly went over to her side. "Are you alright? What happened over here? Koichi could you explain."
Before Koichi said anything, Aina was on the other side of Shinji and explained the situation. "Shinji here had a reaction from something she ate. I'll take her to the nurse's office."
No one said anything and just went along with what was going on. Shinji was carefully placed on Aina's back and then left the scene without any more trouble.

At the nurse's office, Aina was sitting quietly next to the bed where Shinji was currently on. It didn't take long until she had woken up from the hit. She looked up at Aina and huffed looking away from the girl. Aina sighed and stood up while stretching her arms a bit.
"No one said anything about what happened and neither did I. All I said was that you had a reaction to something. You're welcome. If anything we don't need to see each other again. It just shows that you shouldn't bully someone for fun. It doesn't make it any better for the victim ya know." Aina explained before making her way to the door. Before opening the door, she looked back at Shinji, "And I'm sorry for hitting you that hard. It wasn't something I would do on purpose, even when someone is rude."
With that she left the room and headed back to the classroom. Barely walking a few feet away from the nurse's office, the strange adrenaline like feeling wore off completely. Feeling light headed, Aina used the wall to her right as a sort of support. She stopped walking for a bit to catch her breath and let the dark spots clouding her vision to go away. It felt like hours before she was able to move once again, when really it was around 15 minutes.

Arriving back at the classroom, almost everyone had disappeared already. The only ones left were Koichi and Ryou. Aina walked over to the two boys and sat down. "Were the teams already given out?" She asked, her voice sounded slightly weak.
"Yeah, dad told everyone who was with who. Luckily for you, you are with us!" Koichi smiled at the redhead. "Hey, you alright?"
"I don't know. I don't even understand why I acted like that earlier. Don't mention any of what actually happened to anyone who didn't witness that." Aina rested her head on the desktop and sighed. Koichi sat down next to her and gently patted her back.
The newly formed teamed waiting patiently in the classroom wondering where their sensei was at. An hour after the meeting time, the door slide open as a figure in dark clothing walked in. The third jolted up at the noise and looked over at the person who entered. Ryou's eyes widen at the recognition of who it was.
"Dad? What are you doing here?" Ryou asked still surprised.
"Hello team. Starting today I will your sensei. You may refer to me as sensei if you want, but Sasuke is fine," Sasuke replied with his arms crossed over his chest. "Also, sorry about the delay. I was finishing up paper in advance so we can spend as much time needed on training."
