Seven years later,(This takes place after the graduation ceremony) twelve year old Sakura got ready to go to the Academy to start her days of being an actual ninja, but instead of a cheerful smile that she had before the death of her whole clan, Sakura just had an emotionless face. She didn't have any friends because they would make fun of her large forehead, but it didn't phase her one bit because what she had experienced seven years ago was much worse than how the other female students were treating her. She soon heard just about every girl in the room squeal so loudly that it could break a fine glass cup. There was only one logical reason why this was happening and it was because Sasuke Uchiha had just entered the class room. As he sat down in his usual seat that was right behind Sakura, the first person to walk right up to him was Ino Yamanaka, who Sakura nicknamed Ino Pig because when she squealed you could have mistaken her for an actual pig. Right when Sasuke saw her approaching, he gave her a glare, but she would always ignore because she would never give up trying to win Sasuke's heart, but always failed every time she tried. Ino was like a magnet every time she saw Sasuke and clung on to him. When Ino noticed that Sakura was just reading a long book on the arts of ninjutsu and not even glancing at her and Sasuke, she yelled "Hey Billboard Brow, aren't you even a little bit jealous that I am the one who is the closest to Sasuke, not to mention touching him?" "Like I would even care for anyone? You can have him for all I care I just need to focus on me and me alone." Sakura stated with her nose still in her book that was at least a few thousand pages long. Ino scoffed "I know that you are really jealous, so stop trying to act so cool that you don't care." With her nose still in the book Sakura muttered, "Because I don't care and you don't know me anymore because I've changed seven years ago." Ino was truly offended by this and was about to teach Sakura a lesson, but before she could even make a single movement, Iruka sensei walked in and said, "Alright everyone, now that you are all here, you will be put into three man squads and they will be your team for the rest of your lives as ninjas. Soon, some of the girls whispered that one of them would be in Sasuke's group, which of course Sakura didn't care whose group she was as long as they were worthy enough to make her stronger so she could kill her older sister. As soon as Iruka started reading through the squads, right when Team 7 was called out he said, "For Team 7 we have Naruto Uzamaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha." This made Sakura set her book down to see that the person who he called Naruto was a blonde headed kid who looked like a hyperactive knucklehead from the way he had jumped up when her name was call. But of course Naruto suddenly complained, "Iruka sensei, why does a great ninja like me have to be in the same group with a slug like Sasuke?" Iruka then explained, "Because Sasuke had the highest average and you had the lowest Naruto so we decided to balance the teams out by putting the best student with the worst." There was soon a huge explosion of laughter coming from everyone in the class, even from Shikamaru, but of course, not from Sakura or Hinata, who had happened to have a little crush on Naruto. As soon as everyone and their sensei's left the room, only Team 7 was the only group left in the room and their sensei was late. (What can you expect from Kakashi?) Soon, Sakura set her book down and complained, "I've had it, if our sensei isn't going to show up, then I'll just make him show up or yet drag him here if he wants to or not." Before Sakura left the room, she grabbed a stick from her backpack and exited the door. (Sakura has a very short temper so that is why she has a stick with her a thick as a baseball bat.) She was gone for about five minutes until Naruto and Sasuke heard the sound of someone being dragged and complaining about some book. Sakura soon entered the room dragging with one hand, a silver haired man with a mask covering up most of his face and his forehead protector covering over his left eye. With her other hand, the stick that she once had was now a lighted torch and Sasuke and Naruto didn't want to know how she got is lit. "Now why did you have to go and burn my book?" Their sensei asked heartbrokenly. "Because you are so late that I had no choice to do so. Besides, you are lucky that I was only being nice to you." Sakura explained sourly. In that moment, their sensei got up off of the floor and said, "My first impression of this group , your a bunch of idiots and especially the girl most of all." When Sakura heard him say this, she was just about to tear this man limb from limb, but before she cold do so, Naruto and Sasuke were restraining her, which was not easy for the two of them holding an angry girl back. "Alright then, lets meet up at the roof now shall we?" Their sensei said cheefully.
On the roof top:
"Alright, why don't you introduce yourselves. One at a time. Things you like, things you hate, dreams for the future, hobbies, things like that. " Team 7's sensei said. "Why don't you tell us about you so then we know what to say." said Naruto. "Me, I'm Kakashi Hatake, things i like and things I hate...I don't feel like telling you that, my dreams for the future...never really thought of that, I have lots of hobbies. Ok then, you on the right, you start." "Believe it! I'm Naruto Uzamaki. I like instant ramen in a cup, and I really like the ramen Iruka sensei got me at the Ichiraku noodle shopm, but I hate the three minutes you have to wait after you pour the water in the ramen cup. My hobby is eating different kinds of ramen and comparing them, and my future dream is to be the greatest Hokage, then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like i'm somebody, somebody important!" Naruto declared. "Well, he's grown up in a very interesting way." Kakashi thought. Alright, next, you with the pink hair. "I'm Sakura and just so you know Kakashi, if you wish to continue living, you will never and I repeat never say or ask me my last name, you got that? The only thing that I like is to read to keep my temper down, there is one person who I despise the most and I will not speak of their name, for my hobbies, I just train or read, and my dream is something that will become a reality and it is to kill the one person that I despise." Sakura said in a low voice, but loud enough for everyone to hear her. "Alright, last one." Kakashi said refering to Sasuke. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha, there are a lot of things that I hate, and don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan and destroy a certain someone. "Good, you're each unique and you have your own ideas. We'll have our first mission tomorrow. It will be a survival exercise. Of the 27 graduates who just came here, only 9 will actually be excepted as genin. The other 18 will be weeded out and sent back to the Academy. In other words, this is a make it or break it pass fail test and the chance that you'll fail is at least 66 percent. I decide whether you pass or fail. Be at the training area at 5 a.m. and bring your ninja gear. You better skip breakfast or else, you'll puke. That's it you're dismissed.
Next morning at 5 at the training fields:
Everyone was at the training fields except Kakashi. They were waiting for 4 hours until Kakashi finally arrived, Naruto yelled, "YOU"RE LATE!" "Well a black cat came across my path, so I had to take the long way." Kakashi explained, but Naruto wasn't buying it. "It's simple, all you need to do is take these bells from me. If you fail to get the bells then you go without lunch and you all get tied to those posts and i will eat my lunch in font of you. If you are not prepared to kill me, then you will not get the bells. You have until noon. You my begin when I say start. Okay... start." Said Kakashi and the three genin hid, well all except for Naruto who thought he could take Kakashi head on. And of course what happened was this, "Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu: A Thousand Years of Death!" Kakashi yelled and poked him right in the butt and Naruto shot into the air and landed into the river. When Naruto got out of the river, he noticed a bell laying on the ground. Naruto went up to get the bell, but right when he touched it, Naruto found himself dangling upside down by his ankles. Then Kakashi came right up to Naruto and picked up the bell and sighed, "Think before you use a jutsu, or else your opponent will use it against you. Oh and also, if the bait is obvious, don't take it. A ninja must see through deception." I get it!"Naruto grunted while trying to get loose. "I'm telling you this because you don't get it. You think you get it which is not the same as actually getting it. Get it?" Kakashi said. then, Sasuke saw it. "This is my chance, he finally dropped his guard." Sasuke thought as he through shuriken at Kakashi and they hit him. "AHH! HE JUST GOT BLASTED WITH SHURIKEN! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND SASUKE?! YOU WENT TOO FAR!" Naruto yelled. But Kakashi did the replacement jutsu. Sasuke knew that he had to move fast since Kakashi knew where he was hiding. Then, Sakura finally realized something, "We can't win against him on our own, we need to work as a team if we want to beat Kakashi since he is a jounin." Sakura started moving quickly until she was in a clearing and she could tell that something wasn't right. Then our of nowhere, Sasuke came out behind a tree with kunai knives embedded in his back. She knew that something was off here then she knew what this was. Sakura did a release jutsu and what had appeared to be Sasuke disappeared. "Just as I thought. Genjutsu."Sakura thought. Kakashi, not too far away, saw that she got rid of the Genjutsu decided to do a stronger one. Back to Sakura, the the scenery changed and she was back at her house and there in the kitchen, her parents being killed by her older sister. Just like what had happened seven years ago. Sakura knew this was Genjutsu, but it was too painful for her to see that memory again, it was just too much and Sakura let out a wail of despair. Then, she screamed, "I WILL GET YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO OUR CLAN AND OUR PARENTS!" She then managed to release this Genjutsu and collapsed from seeing the greatest pain she has had her whole life. Sasuke,with just his head above ground, heard Sakura's wail and scream about getting someone. It was strange because he has never heard Sakura scream at all and from the sound of it, she must've experienced something terrifying. But of course, the timer rang and they were out of time.
From how everyone looked, they were too tired to make a swing at Kakashi. "While I was watching you three, I noticed that one of you actually managed to figure out how to get the bells, but I stopped them from doing so. Sakura, I am sorry for the second Genjutsu, I didn't know what would happen and when I saw your reaction, it was like you were not yourself at all, even I was surprised." Kakashi said. Sakura just glared at him and said, " You shouldn't have made it that strong because what you made me saw was a memory that was one of the reasons why I joined the Academy." Kakashi made a nervous smile through his mask. "Well." Kakashi said, " I know that the person that will be tied to the post that will be Naruto." "WHAT!?" Naruto yelled and tried to run for his life, but had already found himself already tied to the post. "BUT WHY ME KAKASHI SENSEI?!" Naruto complained. "Lets see, well you did try to eat one of the lunches which was a big mistake." Kakashi stated. "So Sasuke and Sakura get to eat their lunches, but if either of you two try to feed Naruto, you will be punished." and Kakashi disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
While Sasuke and Sakura sat on either side of Naruto eating their lunches, Naruto's stomach was growling like a mad dog. Sakura then held her lunch up to Naruto and said " Here, you can have my lunch. I don't care what Kakashi sensei says, we are all a team and a team needs to stay together." Sasuke and Naruto both agreed with Sakura, but after he took one bite of her food, in a giant cloud of smoke, Kakashi appeared right in front of them demanding why Sakura fed Naruto. Sakura then explained that they were a team and teammates never give up on each other and kakashi soon had a smile on his face. Then, Kakashi said, " You Pass. No one has ever passed my test because they always did what I told them to do. Those who break the rules are scub, but those who abandon their friends, are worse than scum.
