Iruka sighed as he walked into the classroom as he knew it would be a hectic morning as the newly graduated students would be excited to get their team assignments and he knew Naruto would be the worst.
"Iruka sensei, hurry up and tell us our teams!" Naruto shouted when he caught sight of Iruka walking into the classroom with a foreboding look on his face. Iruka looked at Naruto and realised something was different 'He looks the same and shouts the same, wait he's sitting between Hinata and Shikamaru. Something must have happened' he looks at them again and smiles as he sees them chatting 'I'm happy you have finally got some friends Naruto'.
"Alright listen up its team for me to announce team assignments" he paused and looked at his newly graduated students, Naruto was bouncing in his seat while Shikamaru looked like he was asleep and Sakura and Ino were glaring at each other 'I'm going to miss them' he thought and he carried on "Team 7 is Naruto Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuuga and Shikamaru Nara and your Sensei is Kakashi Hatake" "Yay! Did you here that guys we are on a team together, isn't that great?" "It's good but still troublesome" Shikamaru said while smirking, he looked at Chouji and said "don't worry we will still hang out". Chouji smiled at this and knew that he and Shikamaru would stay friends no matter what. Hinata then spoke up "it's great Naruto, I'm looking forward to us all getting stronger" she then worked up enough courage to smile at Naruto 'wow she has a pretty smile, wait did I just think that. I thought I liked Sakura'.
He was then pulled out of thoughts as Iruka announced the other teams "Team 8 is Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka and Sakura Haruno and your sensei is Kurenai Yuuhi" At this Sakura screamed and being placed on a team with a mutt and a bug boy instead of her Sasuke, Kiba and Shino didn't look that happy either. "As team 9 is still together we will move onto Team 10 which is Chouji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka and Sasuke Uchiha and your sensei is Asuma Sarutobi" as soon as Iruka finished speaking Ino screamed and started to gloat to Sakura about being on a team with Sasuke "Take that Sakura Sasuke is going to be mine" Sakura just glared at her.
"Calm down Ino and sit down" Iruka told Ino, she gave one last smirk at Sakura and sat down thinking of Sasuke. "Okay everyone, know that I am proud of all of you and that I believe you will be excellent ninja" He stopped and smiled at them "Now your sensei's will be coming to pick you up so wait here for them" with that said he left the room in need of a sit down. As soon as he left Asuma came in and got team 10, 30 minutes later Kurenai came and got team 8.
After an hour of waiting Naruto looked at Hinata and Shikamaru and said "When is he getting here, I'm bored" he then dropped he head onto the desk and sighed. Shikamaru looked at Naruto and thought 'He is right either our sensei got lost or isn't coming. Either way the outcome is less then promising'. He was about to fall asleep when someone walked into the classroom.
Naruto looked up from his desk and saw the ninja he talked to earlier, he also realised that this must be his sensei Kakashi Hatake, "Hey, you're the ninja I spoke to earlier, aren't you?" "Yes I am" Kakashi replied wondering where Naruto was going "and your our sensei?" Kakashi nodded this time. Naruto then jumped and shouted at Kakashi "YOU'RE LATE!" Kakashi looked at Naruto and chuckled while his other two students looked amused as well as Shikamaru was smiling and Hinata gave a quiet giggle. "Yes well I got lost on the road of life, now meet me on the roof in ten minutes" and with that he left in a swirl of leaves.
Shikamaru got up and said "I guess we better head up there, this better not be troublesome" he left the room and headed for the roof with Hinata following while Naruto trailed behind them grumbling about late sensei's.
When they got to the roof they saw Kakashi sitting on the wall reading an orange book, without looking up from it he told them to sit down. When they did he put his book away and looked at them "Now then how about we get to know each other? Tell me your likes and dislikes" Hinata then spoke up "How you start sensei so we can get to know you?" "Okay then Hinata, my name is Kakashi Hatake but you will call me Kakashi-sensei, I like a lot of things and I dislike a lot of things as well. My hobbies you do not need to know and I don't feel like telling you my dream" He then looked at his student's faces, Naruto looked more annoyed, Shikamaru looked like he had fallen asleep and Hinata was looking at the ground.
"Okay then, Naruto why don't you go next" "Fine, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, I like ramen and my friends Hinata and Shikamaru. I dislike people who think there better than others and the time it takes to make ramen. My hobbies are eating ramen and training and my dream is to be Hokage" Kakashi looked impressed by naruto, he nodded at Naruto. "Shikamaru, your next" "Troublesome, my name is Shikamaru Nara, I like my friends Naruto, Hinata and Chouji as well as sleeping. I dislike it when my mother yells at me, my hobbies are cloud watching and playing shogi. My dream is to lead a simple life" "Okay then Hinata your turn" "Okay sensei, my name is Hinata Hyuuga, I like reading, my friends Shikamaru and Naruto and flower pressing. I dislike people who judge others before knowing them and my hobbies are training and making my medicinal cream. My dream is to become a worthy heir to my clan".
Kakashi looked at the three of and smiled "Ok then, meet at training ground 7 for your final test to become a gennin, any questions?" "Yeah, I thought we were already gennin why do we have to take another stupid test?" Naruto asked "Because I said so" Kakashi replied and with that he left leaving behind some leaves.
"I guess I will see you guys tomorrow" Shikamaru said and he walked off home, Hinata then followed saying she had to go train at home. This left Naruto on his thinking about the day 'I'm glad I'm on a team with my friends, I think we will be the greatest team ever! I better get home and make sure to get some rest ready for tomorrow' and with that thought he got up and headed home.
