Vegeta - Prince of Saiyans: Yes I made sure to ask for permission, he agreed to let me base off the story of Naruto in root not being a mindless drone that went to Sound and got a ton info and then was found by Jiraiya everything else is all me. Yes i was worried about the whole paragraph thing after i had sent it in I wasnt sure of how big a deal it was until i was asked about it a couple times so ive made sure to add more paragraphs this time around but i dont like having two sentences per paragraph very often so I'll keep some originality thanks for the help man

2 weeks later day of graduation
The next two weeks went along pretty much the same way as that first day, with Sasuke being completely shown up in every way possible, Naruto apparently takes his orders very seriously. With his grades he received top marks but was still the dobe of the class in terms of overall scores for the entire four years but they still made him rookie of the year, with sasuke coming in second and then Sakura being the top female student. (A/n sorry absolutely no competition for top female student I mean there's only three female students that were even bothered to have names and I cant really fit any oc's in so sorry if this upsets you) This was one thing that he never got tired of laughing at, its ridiculously easy to be the top kunoichi in his class, if any single one of them took a smidgeon of effort into their training they could be the best of the class. Sakura along with all the other girls practically failed in the physical portions of class, the only one who didn't was Hinata but she was too timid and nice to actually win a spar. Sakura was only the top because she aced every single written test they were given and was good at the ever useful kunoichi lesson...flower pressing. He wished that they had more girls like that bun-haired chick from the class ahead of them that graduated the year before.
Naruto got up around five so he could have time to do a few laps around the village to 'warm up' before he had to leave for the academy. 'well it's the last day I might as well show up this time eh kyuu-chan?' thought Naruto in their telepathic link. "sure just try to make it interesting its just so boring in here without you going on missions were you actually get to kill, I swear I'm so glad that this academy mission doesn't last more than two weeks" replied the biju. 'Sorry about that kyuu-chan I can't really do any missions because I'm still doing this one and besides it's only been two weeks' blondie replied. "Yeah yeah I've heard it all before just put on a good show today if the fight actually lasts more than five seconds" said kyuubi.
After finishing his laps he arrived at the academy with about ten minutes to spare and took his usual spot in the back corner and waited a couple of minutes for everyone else to get there. Iruka arrived and with little success gaining their attention, decided to use scratch his nails on the chalkboard, suffice to say they all shut up pretty quick.
Smirking Iruka spoke "Ok everyone this might be your final day having me here as your teacher, you will be off doing missions and protecting the village, I am very proud to have been your sensei and I wish you all the best of luck on your test."
After that he passed the papers around and told them to turn over the papers and begin. Naruto snorted when he read his 'Oh look kyuu-chan I got the anbu level test again, you'd think they would've learned after all the times they tried these two weeks.' "Wow you humans are stupid they still hold that petty grudge against me after all these years, they could at least do a better job at trying to fail you though" replied the nine tailed biju. 'Hey I resent that!' Naruto responded '...but its still true.'
After everyone had finished their tests they all went outside to do the standard sparring against each other, then shuriken/kunai, and then the basic academy jutsu. Once again the teachers placed the top two students against each other so it could be "fair." Iruka read both names off the list for the umpteenth time "Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke please step to the center of the ring, try to not send him to the hospital again he needs to finish the rest of the test today." All the guys snickered and Sasukes eye twitched.
"Fine fine Iruka-sensei, don't worry about it, I'll only knock him out unless for some bizarre reason he decides pull that fifty foot pull pole out of his butt and surrender before it gets that far" Naruto answered cheerfully. Sasuke growled "Don't mock me! You are a pathetic clanless loser without a bloodline you can never be better than me!" Completely oblivious to the fact that he had never so much as gotten a hit in their innumerable amount of fights. Naruto just kept staring over into the trees "Huh? Did you say something? I was busy staring over at that bird over there." Iruka spoke, exasperated "If you two are done we can begin, Naruto vs. Sasuke, Hajime!"
Sasuke wasn't that stupid, he knew better than to talk after the fight had started so this time he decided to attempt to rush Naruto, he ran at a speed that to only the civilian students looked like he disappeared. Naruto lazily watched him until Sasuke aimed at his head with a spinning axe kick which Naruto simply caught with one hand before promptly spinning and then slamming Sasuke face first onto the ground. Naruto then picked him up and then tossed him headfirst into a tree. 'So much for giving a show he's already unconscious, I cant even show off, you'd think that he'd actually be able to take a hit after all this time.' "Shousa Uzumaki Naruto" shouted Iruka with an 'again' as an afterthought. The girls knew better to protest that Naruto cheated after being blasted with killing intent from said blonde.
The rest of the fights went by pretty quickly, unless it was a fight between two fan girls then of course they spent five to ten minutes each claiming their love for Sasuke and explaining in Ex-cru-ci-a-ting detail about how they were meant for each other, much to everyone's disdain. Finally when it got to the accuracy test it went the same as that first day with Shino coming up with third. They then proceeded to go inside and go one by one into the private room to perform the three jutsu and get your headband.
It seemed that just about everyone passed the test, after all only a complete and utter moron with absolutely no hope of redemption could actually fail let alone three times in a row right?
Once everyone had gone, Iruka cleared his throat and spoke "Congratulations to all of you that passed, I am proud of each and every one of you, now your journey as a ninja is just beginning, so meet here at eight-thirty for your team placements; dismissed."
The next morning as Naruto was waiting in his usual spot, for everyone else to get there he happened to overhear a couple classmates talking about some idiotic chunin trying to steal the forbidden jutsu scroll from the hokages office, did he really think he could snatch it from the 'Kami no Shinobi?' Naruto was stopped from listening to more by a couple of screaming bansh-er Sakura and Ino trying to race to sit next to their precious 'Sasuke-kun.' "I totally got here first!" screamed pinky. "No way I was here first!" screamed the Yamanaka clan heir. (A/n Inoichi must be so proud) The idiotic banter continued until Iruka came in and proceeded to once more scratch his nails all the way across the chalkboard.
"Now that we've all had our daily dose of stupid 'cough' I mean uh now that we're all here I will start calling of the teams so pay attention. Team 1-6 pathetic civilian teams who weren't even bothered to be given names." Iruka froze "Did I just say that out loud?" Everyone nodded. "Umm ok team seven is Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Uzumaki Naruto."
"Ha! take that Ino-pig true love conquers all!" Sakura cheered. '
I'm doomed' thought both Naruto and Sasuke at the same time.
"Ahem let me continue, anyway your sensei will be Hatake Kakashi." Iruka said before continuing. Team eight will be Aburame Shino, Hyuuga Hinata, and Inuzuka Kiba and your sensei will be Yuuhi Kurenai."
Iruka continued on "Team nine is still in circulation, team ten is Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi chouji, and Yamanaka Ino and your sensei is Sarutobi Asuma. Now everyone may go to lunch and your sensei's will be here to pick you up afterwards. Dismissed.
Naruto walked over to where Sasuke and Sakura were sitting, "Hey guys now that we are a team and all now how about we go out to eat together?" the blonde boy asked.
"I'm gonna train I don't have time for stupid stuff like that" the raven-haired boy replied. Sakura then answered as well "Yeah only losers would try and do something like that instead of training... Hey Sasuke want to go get something to eat with me so we can work on our teamwork." Everyone left in the room sweatdropped.
"oooook then" Naruto said as he waited a few minutes before walking out. He walked past a crying Sakura who had apparently got shot down from Sasuke for the millionth time, "She's so screwed when she goes on her first real mission" Naruto thought out loud. Surprisingly enough Iruka and some other teachers who were outside muttered their agreement.
Once everyone had gotten back to class and then picked up by their senseis, well all but one team. Asuma, kurenai and the other jounin sent pitying glances over to where team seven was sitting before continuing on with their teams.
Naruto just decided to pull out a new jutsu scroll for fire jutsu that he was working on, Sasuke continued his favorite past time...watching the paint peel while brooding, Sakura continued going back and forth between fuming and pacing, and then back to just staring/drooling at Sasuke. Three hours later a certain silver haired jounin walked in.
"team seven?" he asked already knowing the answer.
"Your Late!" screeched the fangirl.
Everyone but Naruto winced at the screeching, he knew to start wearing earplugs now that Sakura was on his team, good thing huh?
Naruto just stared impassively at him going through the information in his mind he had on him and then sizing him up.
"My first impression of you well pinkies annoying, duck-butt is boring, baddie blondie is actually using his time correctly so I like one of you can you guess who?" asked the cyclops. "Meet me up on the roof in five minutes, don't be late, ja ne"
'Hypocrite' was the universal thought in the room.
Naruto just shunshined up to the roof much to Sasuke's annoyance and Sakura's confusion.
Kakashi was sitting there for only about a second or two before he saw Naruto appear in a puff of smoke. 'So he already knows shunshin huh? I wonder how strong he really is if he's been trained by someone like Danzo for seven years. I shouldn't underestimate him.' "Well good for you Naruto you got here first and your prize is more waiting for people isn't this great?" The masked jounin asked with an eye-smile.
Naruto just stared at him, that eye-smile was creeping him out, before sitting down. 'That's not even worth responding to.'
Five minutes later Sasuke and a breathing hard Sakura walked up the stairs. "Why are you breathing so hard? Haven't you actually trained before?" questioned the jinchuuriki. Sakura twitched and said "Of course I have!"
Naruto smirked "Stalking Sasuke doesn't count."
Said Uchiha and Kakashi cringed. Sakura grinned sheepishly "uhh well I uh thought about it."
"Useless fangirl" all three guys muttered before getting comfortable.
"Well then now that we are all here lets introduce ourselves lets say our name, likes, dislikes and dreams for the future." the copy-nin stated.
"What do you mean sensei how about you show us how its done" replied Sakura.
"What is there not to understand? he just told us what to do in the most simple way possible" naruto said while groaning. "Here let me show you if your too stupid to do it (A/N sorry if I'm bashing sakura too much but its just so much fun) My name is Uzumaki Naruto, I like learning new jutsu, training, and giving a good butt-whuppin to someone who deserves it. I dislike arrogant jerks who think they're king of the world, fan girls, people who underestimate me, and people who can't tell the difference between the jailer and the prisoner. My dream for the future is to become a famous ninja rivaling the hokages."
Kakashi nodded then pointed at Sasuke "Duck-butt go ahead."
Naruto smirked while Sasuke and Sakura twitched. "Hn. My names Uchiha Sasuke, I don't really like anything other than getting stronger, I dislike useless people, and I don't have a dream, but I have a goal and it is too kill a certain man."
Sakura stared at him with stars in her eyes as if he was the most awesome person in existence while kakashi sighed while Naruto snorted before speaking. "Please do you really think you can ever stand chance against someone like Itachi? he was in Anbu at our age while you are just a genin you cant expect to kill him unless he has some freaky incurable illness and if he was actually letting you kill him. (A/n highly improbable right?)
Sasuke turned to him in a rage "Shut up dobe!" but before he could continue on kakashi silenced him. "ANYWAY! its pinky the fangirls turn now."
Sakura shook out of her thoughts wondering who Itachi was and then started "Well my name is Haruno Sakura, my likes are, well the person I like is" looks at Sasuke and blushes. "my dislikes are Ino-pig and my dream for the future is" looks at Sasuke and blushes heavier.
"You just imagined yourself and Sasuke-teme surrounded by pink-haired kids didn't you?" Naruto questioned before Sakura turned away to hide her blush and Sasuke cringed again.
Kakashi just sighed harder than the last time before speaking "OK well meet me tomorrow at training ground seven at five am so we can have our real graduation test."
Sakura screeched "what real graduation test! we already took our test at the academy!"
Naruto groaned before responding "Do you really think that that test was our final test before we became shinobi? How in the crap did you get the top scores in academics? That test was just to take out all of the hopeless cases, but apparently it forgot one or the academy's standards are really that low."
Sakura twitched and was about to do something before Kakashi interrupted them. "That's correct Naruto, now make sure you don't eat anything otherwise you'll puke, ja ne!"
Naruto looked to both of his "team mates" and then spoke "We should come up with some sort of strategy for tomorrow, he's a seasoned Jounin so we have no chance at beating whatever he has in store for us if we go it alone. I don't like this anymore than you do but I'm willing to put aside my differences for the good of the team. So are you guys in?"
Sasuke thought for a millisecond and then responded "Please I am an Uchiha the only one who can defeat an Uchiha is an Uchiha I don't need your help."
Sakura chimed in "Yeah he doesn't need any of your help you'll just slow him down!"
Naruto sighed "Really Sasuke, do you not remember any of the times I defeated you, and I'm pretty dang sure I'm not an Uchiha, and Sakura look who's talking, your the weakest link, you'll die on your first real mission and to top it all off you haven't even trained a day in your life."
Sakura just ignored his words as she had all the other times she heard it from Iruka and their other teachers. Sasuke actually chimed in this time "Uzumaki is actually right, if you have the time to waste trying to make the neon kill me sign you call hair look pretty you could actually spend it training."
Sakura actually heard him this time and then promptly went into the fetal position and burst into tears. 'So useless' both Sasuke and Naruto thought before leaving.
The next morning Naruto arrived at the training field to see both Sasuke and Sakura there already he walked up and he saw Sakura pestering Sasuke for a date every two seconds apparently Sasuke's words had little to no effect on her. He then heard both of their stomachs grumbling and then he smirked. "You too actually didn't eat? Are you really that dumb? We need food to have energy for whatever Sensei has planned what good are you starving? Well to Sakura it makes no difference and I expected this, Sasuke come on don't tell me the "almighty Uchiha" fell for it too? Oh well Sensei wont be here for at least another three hours so I might as well make use of my time."
After that Naruto then started performing his katas for both taijutsu and kenjutsu while Sasuke and Sakura were still looking down in embarrassment.
Three hours later on the dot Kakashi showed up. Sakura was about to use her inhuman lungs to scream about how he was late before she fell to her knees from the killing intent released by Naruto. "Don't you dare start screeching again I didn't bring my earplugs and I don't feel like having to hear your annoying voice right now."
"Umm ok then well now that I'm here we can begin as he pulled out two bells, your objective is to get these bells from me before noon, this test has a sixty six percent of failure, so you guys will probably fail."
"Ready? Begin!" Kakashi stated before all three genin disappeared.
