NaruHina: Love you or Hate You Rewritten

Chapter 3: Naruto's Students

Author's Note:

Damn it's been forever since I did a chapter for this so sorry. I am going to one or two chapters for this before moving on, but before that some messages for guest reviewers who's reviews I don't remember, but I wrote response for them when I got the review so might as well show them.

Ok guests Sakura is not innocent where did you even get that idea from, yes Naruto only got with Hinata because he was desperate and did plan to make Sakura jealous, but he quickly forgot about that and genuinely loved Hinata and forgot about Sakura.

The reason Hinata left was because she saw Naruto and Sakura kissing after she forced herself on him and overheard him talking with her before he could finish.

Second Tsunade isn't some heartless bitch if Sakura and Naruto did something bad then of course she would be disappointed in them. How can you say Tsunade doesn't care about Hinata when it is her job to look after the village as a whole, not only that, but she would have been happy seeing the two happy together?

If you use that logic you might as well say she only took Sakura as apprentice because she was Naruto's teammate.

If you think it's all Naruto's fault please go back and read chapter 1, he didn't out right betray Hinata it was Sakura who did that and Hinata misunderstood what happened between the two. Yes, he wasn't the best at the beginning, but be fair Naruto was being left behind by the only family known and was lonely and wanted it back.

As for why Naruto didn't leave for five years, it was because he was scared of Hinata rejecting him like she did when she first left. She was really hurt and angry so he was afraid to she would still hate him also a part of him was thinking it was better for her then being with him.

Also, Tsunade making sure he didn't go after her with threats of declaring him a rouge ninja and sending him on high ranked missions. As well as her continuingly talking him out of it by saying he would only hurt her more.

Also, rude reviews with no point other than to bash me will be deleted don't like it don't read it!

Extra Note: All Japanese names are loosely translated, so please be forgiving if they are wrong.

Leaving the Hokage office with determination in his eyes Naruto was going to put together a team to help find his beloved. He already knew who and was sure they would find his Hime. As he took steps forward on his new path his beloved waiting for him his whole demeanour seemed to brighten in a way that would shock anyone that knew the heart broken blond for the past five years.

"Naruto-Sensei!" The familial ringing in his ear was all he needed to identify who called. Turning to the source seeing a single person running at him and two others walking at a slow pace.

The one running at him was soon right in front of him, a large grin on the boy's face. "Sensei what are we going to do today more training or missions? And if it's a mission can it be something other than D ranks please." The boy begged, the boy was 12-13 years old with fiery spiky reddish-orange hair, round eyes that were a light shade of violet, giving an almost unearthly glow. He wore an old beanie hat the hat was bright orange that made his darker and reddish hair stand out, with two lines of dark blue going around the hat. His clothes were the same colour a short sleeve jacket with dark blue clips and pockets, however, his bottoms were blue shorts with an orange line pattern on each side.

"Not today Takeshi I'm going to be away for a while take a break for now and keep doing regular training with your team." Naruto orders causing the boy to whine. It was shocking how alike the boy was to him in the old days.

"Oh, come on! How long are you going to be away for, I want to hurry up and do real missions. I mean what good is all the training if we can't test it out." The 12-year-old moaned like a child, itching for some action.

"Please! It's not like it would change anything you'll still won't be able to keep up with me."

"Yeah Shinji-Kun right, you're still a loser that would pull us down on missions."

The two people that were lagging behind him caught up to their teammate and sensei. The first one to speak was a boy with pitch black raven hair done in a ponytail, his eyes were also black with a sharpness to them. His clothing was a white sleeveless kimono with the kanji for sword on the back and the hem guard was black with fishnet armour underneath. He had a pair of black and white arm guards on each arm. The final part of his clothes were ninja pants that were black with the same colour ninja sandals, however on his waist was a holster with a sword attached to the back.

The second one was a girl with long silver hair going down her back, her eyes were the same colour, but with a hint of blue along with pale skin that made the girl live up to her namesake a white Lilly. Her clothing was a simple sleeveless dress with a short skirt, both a light shade of blue with a darker shade on the hems. One look was all you need to tell the outfit was expensive.

The black-haired boy looked at his teammate, while he agreed that they needed to do higher rank missions, he was far from ready to acknowledge his teammates skills that were far beneath his. Takaishi was glaring back at Shinji causing the girl to hit him over the head. "Don't glare at my Shinji-Kun!" She scolded as if her teammate was a child.

"Ow Kanna-Chaaaan…" The boy whined as the girl sent a flirtiest smile to his rival. Shinji just ignored the smile annoyed at the girl reaction. While Takeshi glared with envy rubbing his poor head.

"Kanna what did I say about insulting and hitting Takeshi." Naruto scolded Kanna, who immediately put on a puppy dog face trying to justify herself. But to the cold-hearted Naruto her cute action wasn't going to work on him, as cute as she was she was nothing compared to his Hime.

"But he was glaring…" She was cut off by her sensei.

"No, buts if he does something that annoys you ask him to stop before violence." Unlike his own sensei Naruto was determined to cut off any traces of abuse. Shinji wasn't much of problem, while he was arrogant, he quickly learned and thanks to the training his team went through was starting to respect Takashi. But Kanna was another story always trying to please Shinji and attacking Takashi no matter how many times he's warned her not. The situation reminded him of a past he rather not think about, if Kanna attitude looks like it's going to affect the team in a negative way than he's going to have to transfer her.

Kanna looked away in spit it wasn't the first time she got scolded and it wouldn't be the last. 'Damn sensei always favouring Takashi.' Shinji was having similar thoughts, but he was feeling more jealous. Both teens started noticing early on that their sensei was more lenient to Takashi, not to say that, he didn't tell the boy off whenever he did something bad which was all the time. But their sensei was unusually cold compared to the stories they heard and the only one that seemed to defrost him was their annoying teammate. They had no idea why and they didn't see much difference, but it was like the air just seemed lighter when Takeshi was talking to sensei even when the boy was bugging him none stop.

Shinji was ok with it, as far as training goes Naruto's been more than fair taking turns training them all personally in their own combat styles. But he wanted to have a role model that he could look up to like Takaishi did Naruto. As a war hero, he respected Naruto greatly, but when he thinks of his ideal self Naruto just doesn't match up to it. Which was strange, because of the three Shinji was the one that acted the coldest just like their sensei always did.

"So, sensei where are you going, is it really cool missions." Takashi's eyes sparkled Naruto giving a brief smile. Even though his heart was cold on the inside it was impossible not to feel a little warmth with such a positive attitude around.

"No, it's more personal while I do plan to take a team it won't be dangerous." Their sensei responded, with a wishful look in his eye taking his team back who were not used to their sensei being so open with them. Their sensei was many things a sadist one of them, but until now they've only really seen a cold Naruto one that always seemed close off and defensive.

"When will you be back Sensei?" The question came from Shinji who, despite his usual cold self was curious at what could make his sensei give such a look.

"Don't know it's possible I could never come back." Dropping the bombshell on them.

"WHAT!" All three of his members shouted, surprising the Jonin sensei.

"But you said it wasn't going to dangerous!" Takashi shouted, not wanting to lose his favourite sensei. While Naruto was harsh on him sometimes, he taught him more in the few weeks they've been a team than he's learned from years in the academy.

"It isn't, but until I sort my business out, I'm not coming back." He said with finality. His blue eyes dark in decisiveness that made his team back down. They saw this look before and knew when their sensei had it, it was the final say in the matter or pain would follow them in the next training session.

"Then what will happen to us?" It was Kanna who asked the question this time. While she didn't like sensei most of the time, she couldn't deny how effect his teaching methods. That plus the advice he gives her about Shinji always seem to work and she was now only considered a minor annoyance by the boy.

"The three of you will do normal training and D ranks on your own, I'm hoping I shouldn't be gone that long, but in case that I am Hokage-Sama will sort out you guys until I come back." All three grew worried, while each had some problems with their sensei one way or another he was the best and the few weeks of teaching was all they need to know there was no one better for them.

"You better come back Sensei." Kanna responded, looking like she was about to cry her two teammates agreeing with her. Shinji keeping his cool front while Takashi tried not to let his own tears go.

Putting his hand on the girl's head Naruto gave his team a great big smile the first that they have ever seen from their sensei. It was strange it was as if the sun was brought closer to them a sudden surge of warmth made them all feel better taking the hero of the worlds words to heart. "Don't worry all of you have done great these past few weeks, I have no intention of abandoning my team. But until I come back keep training and you'll all be even more amazing when I come back."

Blushing a little Kanna heart was racing her gaze taking in how handsome her sensei looked with his sun kissed hair and whisker marks. 'No, no Shinji-Kun the only one for me.' Nodding as Naruto removed his hand from the girl's head, a tint of red still present as her mind wared with itself.

"Don't worry Kanna-Chan even without Naruto-Sensei I'll protect you." Takeshi boasted with a wink, receiving sigh from the girl. Which also had the same effect of calming the girl's heart down.

"Please Shinji-Kun's going to be the one to protect me right." Flickering her eyes at the boy, who only dismissed her as turned the other way.

As Naruto looked on, the memory of the past came up. The image of him and his old team in their younger days overlapped. Takashi was him, Shinji was Sasuke and Kanna w-was…

Bringing himself back to reality, not even able to finish his thought, feelings of anger welling up inside him. He was determined to make sure his team never ended up like his, their start was the same as his almost as if the number team 7 was cursed.

Flashback Three Weeks Prior

Cold blue eyes surveyed his new team, eyeing them up one by one. 'What the hell is Baa-chan thinking.' Now he already knew that his sudden appointment to Jonin sensei was an attempt by Tsunade to get his old self back, but really this was going too far.

"Alright I'm Naruto Uzumaki I like ramen, my goal…" A flashed of his Hime went through his mind before he continued. "Is to be Hokage. I hate the three minutes I have waiting for ramen to cook and selfish people who hurt others to get their way!" Growling out the last bit thinking of a certain pink haired woman that ruined his life years ago.

The teens assembled were taken back by the anger of their new sensei, even more when Naruto restrained himself going back to his cold demeanour as if nothing happened. Not a single emotion was shown making them doubt if they really saw his anger.

"Your turn introduce yourself, likes, dislikes and goals for the future." The Shinobi war hero asked.

The first one to replay was an orange clothed boy with reddish hair. As he gave his introduction the silhouette of a young Naruto overlapping him. "My names TakeshiKachū I like ramen as well." The boy said with a big grin. "My dislikes are arrogant bastards." He shot a glare to his dark-haired teammate who ignored him, but sadly his other teammate didn't.

"Don't you dare glare at Shinji-Kun you loser!" A silver haired girl with blueish eyes shouted mercilessly hitting the boy in the head.

"Kanna-Chan I don't understand why you like the jerk so much." Takeshi moaned, the girl was going to give the idiot teammate another smack when…

"Enough!" The anger in his voice scared them once more. "There will be no hitting of your teammates under my watch!" Naruto order glaring at girl making her back down. His icy stare scaring the poor girl as the anger of his past was directed at her. Signalling to Takeshi to continue, however his rage didn't vanish straight away this time.

"My goal is to become an even greater ninja than Naruto-Sensei and Hokage." The boy smiles innocently making Naruto return a sad smile of his own, knowing his own innocent days are long gone.

"Next" He said looking at the girl that abused Takashi seconds ago.

Looking at her sensei the girl responded. "I'm Kanna Kōri, my likes are ahhh" She squeals looking at the boy next to her, an image of his former pink teammate overlapping. "My dream for the future is ahhh…" Another loud squeal only confirming his fears that one of his students is a useless fan girl.

He was confident he already knew the answer like his own sensei in the past he asked. "And what do you hate?"

"Takeshi!" She said crushing the boy's self-esteem. Even though he knew the answer she would give it still hurt acknowledging it. Finally, he looked to the final member of the team, he was silent until now, the image of Naruto's best friend and rival overlapping him it really seemed that this boy and Sasuke were cut from the same cloth.

"My name is Shinji Shiroharyū, I have no likes or dislike my goal is to become Jonin and master the way of the sword that is all." The last student said quietly, not caring at all about what he said. Kanna swooned at the cool attitude while Takeshi looked at them with jealously.

"Ok…" Naruto smiles giving them his verdict. "All three of you should give up on being ninja because as you are now you will never understand what it means to be a true ninja."

All three looked on in shock. "What do you mean by that, we passed the graduation exam, we are ninja!" Takeshi shouted angrily at his role model.

"Oh, that was just to weed out those who have no hope to become ninja from those who do, at most only nine normally pass to become genin, the rest will be sent back to the academy." He responded coldly, not even acknowledging the looks of shocks/despair his so-called students gave.

"What do you mean we should give up?" Shinji questioned only for Naruto to glare at all three of them his cold eyes showing the experience of his own ninja career.

"It's as I said, whether you become genin or no is all up to me and so far, I'm far from satisfied." Was their sensei's response the quicker these kids learned that being ninja wasn't all fun and games the better.

"How can you say that when you haven't even seen us fight!" Takeshi shouted, his teammates agreeing with him.

"There's more to being a ninja than just fighting strength meet me at training ground three at 6 am sharp for your test." He got up to leave, but turned around to give them one last message. "Oh, and skip breakfast otherwise you'll puke." With that Naruto disappeared in a cloud of smoke. As he fled to the scene the distant memories of his own team meeting haunted his mind, causing him to question why Tsunade gave this team.

A hyper active knuckle head, an annoying fan girl and an arrogant prick. Everything about them reminded him about his old comrades and while, he learnt from his Anbu days not to let his emotions cloud his judgement there was no way in hell Naruto was going to let the same disaster happen twice.

End of Flashback

Author's Note:

That was a long one, I wanted to get this out last month, but I typed a lot more compared to normal. This chapter was mostly to display Naruto's team since in the original we hardly knew anything about them besides the fact that they had the same personalities as team 7. They also looked like they would get an important part in the original fic and I planned to show case what they learned from Naruto in later chapters.

I also wanted to show that Naruto was not going to let his team turn out like his old one and how he despises the fact they are so alike to the old team 7. It didn't sit well with me that Naruto was letting his team act the way it was when it turned into disaster with his own team, but also caused him to lose the woman he loves. I wanted to show all of what Naruto experienced as a ninja and that without Hinata these past few years he's grown a lot colder. No longer is he the go happy ninja that filed the village with light, but a ninja that just been too much and lose something that meant everything to him.

The biggest change in this chapter are Naruto's student's description being more detailed and the fact the chapter didn't start out with Naruto sparring with them instead I added a flashback of the team meeting that let me better portray them.

Below are the names of three and what they mean, the original author didn't have any special reasons for the names so I kept the same, but also looked up the meaning to see if I could use them to help flush out the characters.

Shinji (Shin-real or genuine, Ji -two)

Takeshi (Takeshi - military, martial)

Kanna (White Lilly)

For those who don't know this chapter was originally many times longer as it had Naruto testing his team, but I decided to cut it out since it was so long and felt it broke the story pacing.

Please review:)

Naruto and Hinata Forever:)
