Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Chapter 5

In a quiet and dark room, a figure on its bed slept peacefully. Its day was about to begin, all it needed was a signal.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

One loud smash later, Uzumaki Naruto woke up as he looked at his now broken alarm clock. He looked at the object sleepily as he sat up and yawned, trying to rub out the sleep from his eyes.

"I lose more alarm clocks that way." He muttered as he got out of bed and started to do his daily routine. Leaving his apartment and making sure to lock the door Naruto decided to check on his tenant. 'Hey Kyubi, you there?' 'What do you want kit?'

Naruto just shrugged his shoulders. 'Nothing, you've been quiet lately, that's all.' Naruto could feel Kyubi roll his eyes from inside his head. 'I'm stuck within you with nothing to do and there's nothing to discuss between us. Now leave me alone before I make the gravity heavier than it is already.'

Naruto rolled his own eyes in response. 'Grouchy.' Before long Naruto reached Hinata's house and saw her waiting for him at the front gate of the Hyuuga estates. "Ohayo Hinata-chan." Naruto greeted as he and Hinata had started their way to the academy for one last meeting with Iruka. Hinata noticed the hitae-ate tied around the blonde's arm, her own around her neck, and smiled. Naruto saw and gave her a foxy grin. "See Hina-chan, told you I'd pass." Hinata nodded "Hai, I never doubted you for a second." She replied.

Naruto nodded then asked "So are you sure you want to go tonight?" Hinata nodded, "Yes, I'm sure. I'll meet you in front of my house later." Tonight was a full moon and Hinata had asked Naruto if he could allow her to watch him transform. Naruto didn't want to at first but after a puppy dog pout he received from his girlfriend had changed his mind quite easily.

As the two made their way to the academy, they spotted Sakura and Ino racing towards the same destination, leaving a dust cloud in their wake. 'Those two.' The Hyuuga heiress thought with humor. Soon the two made it to their classroom. Iruka hadn't arrived yet and many students were talking amongst themselves.

The couple didn't see Sakura or Ino among the class, which was odd seeing as the two kunoichis passed them a few minutes ago. The two decided to sit next to Sasuke, who was at the corner, said boy smirked as he saw Naruto's hitae-ate as the blonde sat down next to him.

"I knew you'd find some way to pass dobe." He said quietly, no one in their class except Hinata, and probably the better students, knew the two were friends. "Oh shut-up teme." Naruto said non-chalantly as he and Hinata held hands under the table. Sasuke rolled his eyes as he looked elsewhere.

A few minutes later, the three heard the sound of Sakura and Ino's voices as they had entered the classroom. "Goal!" the two shouted, before they could argue who could sit next to their precious Sasuke, the two spotted the only seat next to their crush's to be already taken by Naruto, and the seat beside him taken by Hinata.

The two, crestfallen, sat next to each other near the door, but still glaring at one another. A few minutes later, Iruka came in and the class settled down. "Congratulations on passing everyone." Iruka looked at Naruto as he smiled before continuing "Now that you have become genins of Konoha you will be divided into three men team."

Iruka took out his class sheet and started to call out names and their teams. Soon Iruka reached the seventh team. "Team 7 will consists of…" Iruka looked through the list.

"Uchiha Sasuke"

The last Uchiha looked at his soon to be former instructor.

"Uzumaki Naruto"

Naruto did the same, he felt Hinata's hand grip his tighter. In the back Ino and Sakura were praying. 'Please let me be a part of Sasuke-kun's team.' The two prayed in sync. Naruto leaned over to Hinata's ear and whispered. "Don't worry Hinata-chan, even if aren't on the same team, I'll still come and visit you during my free time." Hinata smiled and blushed as she replied. "Arigatou Naruto-kun." 'Its okay if aren't on the same team, just as long Naruto and I can still be together.'

"Haruno Sakura"

"YATTA!" Sakura cheered while Ino just glared at her rival. The pink haired girl just smirked at the blonde. Hinata looked a little disappointed but that was it. Naruto and Sasuke both grimaced. Sasuke, because he had a fan-girl as a teammate. Naruto, because he had a Sasuke fan-girl as a teammate. 'At least it can't get any worse' the two thought as Iruka continued with the grouping.

"Team 8 will consist of Hyuuga Hinata…"

Hinata looked at Iruka as Naruto gave her a reassuring look, even if her confidence had grew she would sometimes recede back to her shy state of mind.

"Inuzuka Kiba"

Naruto slightly growled, Kiba had a crush on Hinata and he didn't like it at all. What's worse was that because of his lycan 'bloodline', he was prone to attack the dog user at the slightest intimate contact between the two. Other than that, the two were on 'friendly' terms.

"And Aburame Shino"

Shino didn't react when being called he just watched with fascination as a spider spun its web.

After Team 9 was grouped, Team 10 was finally called. "Team 10 will consist of…Yamanaka Ino,…"

"Hopefully I won't get Shikamaru on my team." Ino muttered as the lazy genin could always seem to push her buttons in a heartbeat.

"Nara Shikamaru…and Akimichi Chouji."

Ino blanched while Shikamaru smirked, "A lazy butt and a fatass, My life is ruined" the blonde girl moaned. Shikamru said nothing but his trademark "Mendokuse" Chouji just kept on munching on his chips.

After calling out the groups Iruka looked at the graduates. "Now, you are all dismissed for lunch, meet with you teammates back here in an hour so that you can meet your instructors. Dismissed and good luck." With that last word said Iruka walked out of the classroom.

BREAK

As everyone went out for their lunch, Naruto and Hinata left to a more secluded spot. The two ate their lunch in companionable silence. As the two finished and were about to leave their spot, Hinata leaned over and kissed Naruto on his left cheek.

"Good luck Naruto-kun." She said with a blush. Naruto nodded, red-faced, "You too Hina-chan." As the two made their way back to the classroom they bumped into Sasuke who was grumbling like there was no tomorrow. "Stupid fan-girls." The broody Uchiha muttered as Naruto and Hinata laughed (or in Hinata's case, giggle). The two had an idea on what had transpired during lunch.

As the three entered the classroom they already saw most of the teams already being picked by their instructor. One jonin, whom Naruto recognized as Yuuhi Kurenai as she was the one who had caught him along with another jounin named Mitirashi Anko during one of his pranks, picked up Hinata and her team. The two lovebirds said good-bye to each other before Hinata left with their team.

Slowly the classroom was emptying and finally, only Team 7 remained. After 3 hours of waiting for their very late instructor Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other and smirked. Sakura who was curious why her two teammates were smirking at each other, kept silent.

Both genin boys pulled out a kunai each and tossed it at the door. At that exact moment, the door opened and before the weapons could hit the person. The said person grabbed the incoming projectiles before hitting him.

"My first impression is….I hate you."

The man looked to be in his twenties, he had silver hair which defied gravity, a mask which covered the bottom half of his face, his hitae-ate tilted to cover his left eye. He wore a jounin vest, navy colored pants, which matched the color of his shirt, mask and sandals and a pair of fingerless gloves with metal backings adorned his hands.

"The feeling is mutual." Naruto said as he stood up along with his teammates. "Meet me on the roof, we'll continue there." The jounin said lazily before disappearing in a cloud of smoke, a couple of minutes later the three arrived on the roof, their instructor waiting for them.

Kakashi's P.O.V

"Alright, why don't you guys introduce yourselves, tell your likes, dislikes, hobbies and your dreams." I said as watched my three new students. "Sensei, why don't you introduce yourself first?" I looked at pink haired graduate.

I immediately noted her low chakra capacity, 'Low chakra equals high chakra control.' I thought as I introduced myself. "My name is Hatake Kakashi, I have many likes and dislikes, I also have a lot of hobbies and I don't want to tell you my dreams." I said as smiled sweetly through my mask.

"All we figured out is his name." I snickered inwardly as I heard my student mutter to the other two. "Ok, now it's your turn." I pointed towards pinky, "Okay pinkie, why don't you go first." I saw her eyebrows twitch when I called her pinkie.

She nodded before doing so, "My name is Haruno Sakura, I like…" she looked at the raven haired boy I recognized to be Uchiha Sasuke and blushed. "I dislike Ino-pig," I noted the stress on the nickname. 'Ino…Yamanaka Inoshin's daughter?' I thought. "My hobbies are reading, and taking care of my plants." I nodded, that's normal behavior. "My dream is…" She looked over to Sasuke again before blushing and squealing like…uh…a girl. I felt a sweat drop roll down the back of my head. 'Is she even being serious about being a shinobi?" I thought.

"Next?" I pointed to the blonde, "My name is Uzumaki Naruto…" 'The kyubi vessel?' From what I had heard from the others, Naruto was supposedly a hyperactive kid, who is extremely loud and loved to play pranks. The Naruto who was sitting in front of me was nothing like what I had imagined. He had a feral aura around him, like when I was dealing with the Inuzuka clan. I stopped my musings and continued listening. "My likes are ramen and Hina-chan…" Ah yes, so the rumors about his relationship with the Hyuuga heiress was true, damn…looks like I owe Kurenai lunch, anyway… "I dislike perverts and people who'd do anything for power." I saw him lance at Sasuke who rolled his eyes. 'Interesting' "My hobbies are hanging out with Hina-chan and my friends, training and playing pranks. My dream…" Naruto took a minute to think, I raised an eyebrow which none took notice. "My dream once was to be Hokage…but I don't want that dream anymore." He said, I looked at the sky but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary and I checked his chakra to see if he was sick. This kid always boasted about being the best and being the next Hokage, what happened to him? "My new dream is to be acknowledgeds by the people I care about and to grow strong to protect my precious people."

I nodded my head absentmindedly that was a good dream, to fight not for yourself but for others. I looked at the last Uchiha who was looking as pensive as he had been since the start "okay, now you?"

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke, I like learning new jutsus, dislikes are annoying fangirls." I looked at Sakura who had paid no mind. "I have two dreams, to revive my clan and to kill a certain someone."

I felt another sweat drop go down 'A fangirl, a prankster/unknown and an avenger.'

END P.O.V

Kakashi stood up as he looked at his students. "Now that we're all introduced. We're going to have a survival test tomorrow." Sakura looked confused, "Ano? Kakashi-sensei, we have done a lot of survival training back at the academy." Kakashi nodded, "Yes, but this test is to see if you can really become genin."

"Demo sensei, I thought we graduated already?" Sakura didn't understand at all. The three saw Kakashi's right cheek round, signifying that the jonin was smiling. "No, the real test is to be given by the instructors, and 66 of the graduating class fails these tests. We're going to meet at training ground # 7. Bring your tools and don't eat breakfast, I'll guarantee you'll puke." As the silver haired jonin finished, he waved at his students before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Naruto stood up and stretched, "I'll see you two tomorrow." He said before he walked out the door. Sakura looked at her crush, "You want to go on a date Sasuke-kun?" she asked sweetly. Sasuke stood up "No." he said in a monotone voice before following his blonde friend out the door. Sakura followed suit, not disheartened by the turn down as she was going to try again

BREAK

Naruto made his way to the Hyuuga household, as soon as he left the academy, the blonde made a beeline to the meeting place. When he arrived, he saw his girlfriend holding a pack. The two smiled to each other as they made their way to their secret destination.

"So how did you get your father to allow you out tonight?" Naruto asked Hinata out of the blue as the two linked hands. "I didn't, he told me that he would be out conducting business outside of Konoha for a few days."

Naruto looked at Hinata "But won't the elders of your clan look for you?" he asked. 'Unlike Hiashi-san, the Hyuuga elders are all pompous idiots.' There had been times Naruto had encountered the Hyuuga Head with his relationship with Hinata. Hiashi had welcomed Naruto, meaning, a glare, stern words, the works when there was another around. After seeing his daughter progress so far with just having Naruto around made him consider about the two. That, however, didn't give the elders any evidence for them to consider.

Even though Hiashi is Hyuuga Head, he had to abide to the council of Hyuuga elders that governed a part of the Hyuuga household more than Hiashi. Hinata shook her head, "They won't no matter how much I've improved they still won't see me as the proper heir. In their eyes, it will be my younger sister who will the rightful heiress." She said

"Then why don't you give the title of Heiress to Hanabi then and be done with it?" Naruto asked. Hinata looked down for a moment, "I can't, if I do that then the council will put their pressure on her and she is too young and I don't want to see her endure any pain regardless of how she or the elders treat me."

Naruto understood, she wanted to protect her younger sibling, one of her precious persons. Hinata felt Naruto give her hand an affectionate squeeze. "Don't worry Hina-chan, I'll help as much as I can." Hinata nodded he head, smiling in appreciation.

"So how was your team?" Hinata asked trying to keep the conversation going. Naruto looked thoughtful for a minute. "Well, Sasuke okay, but he's still an ass when he's meeting new people. Sakura is still his loyal fan-girl, and my sensei is a chronically tardy pervert." He said truthfully, he had seen the Icha Icha Paradise book and had saw it in Kakashi's pocket, this just made Hinata giggle.

Naruto looked at her confused, "What? It's the truth." Hinata nodded after she stopped giggling. "I know, it's just…"

"Just…?" Hinata shook her head. "Never mind." Naruto just looked as Hinata. 'Women'

"Baka" Kyubi said in a sing-song voice. 'Teme' was Naruto's short reply. "And what about your team?" Naruto asked the same question. "Well, Kiba was being his usual self, boastful and load, Akamaru wholeheartedly supporting him. Shino was quite reserved but he did show us his bugs. Kurunai-sensei, I think, hates bugs as she was jittery around them." She said

The finally reached their destination, a cave near a waterfall and lake

deep in the forests of Konoha. The two had started to prepare for the night, Naruto left to disrobe himself and placed on a pair of baggy shorts and a black trench coat with the sleeves ripped off and with a silver colored cross on the back, while Hinata had prepared a fire as dusk was about to begin.

When Naruto returned, he placed his folded clothes and weapons next to Hinata's pack and saw the owner tending to the fire. "You ready Hina-chan?" the soon to be transformed boy asked. Hinata looked at Naruto and blushed profusely. "H-Hai." She stuttered 'No bad thoughts… No bad thoughts.' She repeated over in her head.

After removing all the naughty thoughts from her mind she looked at Naruto who was staring intently at the fire. The Hyuuga crept away a slight distance as not to disturb him, in all honesty, this would be the first time she would see Naruto transform from beginning to end and from a close view.

As soon as the sun began to set, Naruto had felt his body tingle. The forced transformation hadn't hurt as much as before but his he still had to tame his primal side once in a while. Hinata watched as Naruto crouched down and started emit a feral growl then started to tear into his skin.

She was about to run to him when she saw fur beginning to sprout out and his muzzle started to grow. After the transformation, Hinata was starring at a six foot tall, black-red furred werewolf with nine long, swishing tails.

Hinata was shocked on how the transformation occurred, "N-Naruto-kun?" She was hesitant, she didn't know if Naruto would attack her or not, she hoped for the latter. The creature turned around and she stared into a pair of golden-red, slitted eyes.

The werewolf was starring at her so intently that Hinata thought Naruto didn't recognize her. Then he started to circle her, sniffing her stepping closer and closer until she closed her eyes and felt the wet nose of her transformed friend poking her.

What she felt next was unexpected, Naruto had embraced her from behind, his arms wrapped around her chest and his tail wrapping around her lower body. "Hina…-chan" Naruto said in garbled voice, then it become clearer. Hinata opened her milky-white eyes and looked behind her.

Naruto's eyes were closed, then they slowly opened and she saw the warmth that hadn't been there a few minutes ago. The lycan slowly released her and walked back a few stepts. "Gomen Hina-chan, sometimes my feral side takes control of myself for a few minutes." Naruto's voice had sounded slightly older yet still recognizable.

"Daijoubu N-Naruto-kun? I-I was just surprised, that's all." Hinata said, embarrassed from the intimate contact. She then stared at her boyfriend's new form and was in awe. Against the moonlight, Naruto's hybrid form looked magical. "I don't look that bad do I?" Naruto asked jokingly. Hinata just blushed.

BREAK

The next day….

"I'M LATE."

A yellow blur leaped over the rooftops heading over to the meeting area of Team 7. Naruto had stayed up late with Hinata, him showing what he could do with his new form. The two then had dinner then slept in the cave (not that kind of sleep you pervs out there). Though the two woke up early and went home early, Naruto had fallen asleep on his bed after eating breakfast, as well as forgetting Kakashi's instruction , still tired from last night's demonstration.

In training ground 7, Uchiha Sasuke sat quietly, trying to keep himself from blushing as his pink haired teammate who had been still sleepy from waking up early was using his shoulder as a pillow and was sleeping soundly. 'When that dobe and baka sensei arrive I'm gonna…'

Sasuke wasn't able to continue that thought when a puff of smoke appeared and the said teacher arrived, scratching the back of his head, looking as sheepish as he could. "Sorry I'm late, O got lost on the road called life." He said

Sasuke didn't say anything as he didn't want to disturb the pink haired beauty beside him……… "WHERE DID THAT COME FROM!' Kakashi looked at his two students and smiled, this irritated the raven haired boy to no end. Then a dust cloud rolled over them and Naruto appeared beside the late jonin, panting heavily.

Sakura had awoke to Naruto's hard breathing and saw both her blonde teammate and silver-haired instructor. She sprang to her feet and yelled. "YOUR BOTH LATE."

Kakashi waved it off and walked towards three poles that sitting in the middle of the field. And placed a timer on the center pole. "You have until noon to get one bell from me , those who get one pass, those without a bell by the end of this test will be sent back to the academy for another year." Kakashi said as he held up two, small silver bells and attached it to his pants.

The three students tensed up as they waited for their instructor to give the signal. They didn't have to wait long.

"HAJIME!"

A/N: Finally done with this chapter, I'll probably revise this one, the others and future ones when I have enough time. Thanks for the support. 'Till next time.
