Kakashi was suprised to see it was his hopeful students who stepped out of the smoke cloud of the Shunshin. Flicking his hitaiate up for a split second, Kakashi saw that it contained more chakra than either Sasuke or Hinata could use without panting, so it had to have been Naruto. But how did he know that already? Body flicker was taught only to Chunin and higher, "Who taught you that, Naruto?"

"Nobody taught me, I didn't even know what it was called until this morning. I just substitute with the air where I'm trying to go." said Naruto.

'Hmm, to be able to figure the Shunshin out on instinct... that's not the skill of the dead last.' thought Kakashi. Back on topic, "All right, we are going to tell each other about ourselves, likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams for the future, that sort of thing."

"How about you start, sensei?" asked Naruto.

"Alright, my name is Kakashi Hatake. I like a lot of things, I dislike some things. Dreams for the future? I have lots of hobbies." he said, blatantly hiding everything but his name, "You next, Hinata."

Hinata poked her fingers together, "Ano, I like cinnamon buns, my little sister Hanabi, and p-people who don't give up no matter w-what. I HATE the Caged Bird Juinjutsu that separates the Main and Branch families of the Hyuuga clan, and I don't like live shellfish, they're creepy. I s-suppose my hobbies are pressing flowers and trying to work on my style of Juken that fits m-my flexibility. My dream is to erase the line that divides the Main and Branch houses of my clan." she said without a stutter at the end.

Kakashi nodded, "Your turn Blondie." Naruto's eyebrow twitched before he smiled, "I like ramen, training with Sasuke, and my precious people. I dont like the time it takes to cook instant ramen, and people who won't give up on me giving up. My hobbies are training, sitting on top of the Hokage monument, and taking care of my window garden. My dream is to become Hokage to not only prove the people of this village wrong but to protect them even if they don't want me to."

Kakashi smiled under his mask, this boy seemed to be the perfect fusion of his parents. He looked to Sasuke, "Your turn."

Sasuke put his hands in front of his face in a sort of pose, "I... am Sasuke Uchiha..."

THWAP

"Ow! What was that for Dobe?!" Sasuke shouted while rubbing the back of his head.

"You were being overdramatic again." said Naruto flatly, "Continue, like a normal person."

"Ugh, fine." he almost whined, "I'm Sasuke Uchiha. I like training, reading, tomatoes, and blowing things up with fireballs. I dislike the Kyuubi, spicy food, and Danzo Shimura. I don't have many hobbies, but I suppose they are training and practicing my Genjutsu: Sharingan on animals. It's fun to make all of the Inuzuka hounds start barking for no reason. My dream is to redeem my clan and kill my older brother, though not for the reasons you might think." he finished sadly.

Kakashi was the most suprised by this. He expected some single minded avenger who wanted nothing more than to kill Itachi, but he almost seemed sad about the prospect. Wait, could he know? That's impossible, unless... he did say he disliked Danzo Shimura, maybe he really did know. He would ask the Hokage later, "Alright, we're going to take your Genin test tomorrow at 8:00, so meet me at training ground 7 then. Oh, and don't eat breakfast. You'll just throw it up." With that, he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Wait a minute, I thought we already took the Genin test." said Sasuke. Naruto shook his head, "That was more of a pretest. The real test is given by the Jonin. If we fail we'll get sent back to the academy for another four years."

"Pfft. As if that would happen. We have the rookie of the year as well as the top kunoichi, not including you who should be a Chunin if not for your sense of honour." said Sasuke, "Wait, how did you even know that? Iruka-sensei never said anything about that."

"Danzo-sama told me." said Naruto simply.

"Hn. I don't know why you respect that bastard. If i was strong enough I would kill him myself." Sasuke said with a scowl.

"Ano, w-who is Danzo?" asked Hinata.

"I'll tell you later, Hinata-chan. For now we have to go find something to do for the night. I made a promise didn't I?" said Naruto with a grin. Hinata immediately smiled and nodded with a reddened face.

"Well I'm not interested in whatever that was, so I'll be at my house if you need me. I'm trying to figure out part of the Naka tablet." Sasuke said before walking away and stepping off the roof.

Naruto pulled out his wallet before slightly paling, "Umm, sorry Hinata-chan, but I only have enough to go get some ramen. I have some cinnamon buns at my apartment, but do you mind if we get the ramen first? I'm really hungry." Hinata, still with a smile on her face, nodded and said, "I-It's fine Naruto-kun, I'm sure I'll enjoy time with you no matter w-what."

Naruto returned her smile, and with that the pair made their way towards the Ichiraku ramen stand.


Sorry for the really short chapter, but I just needed to get this one out of the way before the Genin test next chapter.
