A/N: I am sooooooo sooooorrrrrrrrry. I got caught up in a couple of things and well; I started writing a fiction story that isn't fanfiction. This is the second chapter of Naru-rewrite so I hope you enjoy it.

NOTE: I apologize to all those who liked the original version of the story but I reread it and it just didn't sit well with me. I hope you enjoy this second one better. Thank you to all my readers and reviewers.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. (I forgot that on the first chapter)

"…" Taking

'…' Thoughts

Chapter 2: Cells

Sora sighed lightly as he reported to Iruka's classroom that morning. Something wasn't right. Itachi wasn't in the room at all when he had woken up and that was odd in its own right. Normally Itachi would at least wake him up if something had come up but this morning nothing; same with Kisame.

"Good Morning Sora." Sohi greeted as he took a seat below her. The greeting went unnoticed, causing the brunette to frown. "Normally Sora you're supposed to say 'Good Morning' back."

"Gomen, Nagisa-san." Sora replied with a small smile. "I was lost in thought."

"… I could tell that much." Sohi commented lightly. Her gaze switched from the silver haired teen to the Hyuuga heiress. "Good morning Hinata."

"…Ah…Good morning Sohi-san." Hinata bowed slightly before taking the open seat next to her friend. "…Ano…Sora-kun…thanks…for the …meal last…night."

"…No worries Hinata." Sora responded grinning slightly. "And here comes the lazy bum."

Shikamaru growled slightly as he approached the trio and took a seat next to Sora with Choji right behind him. Sora smirked before he spoke. "Morning Shino." Everybody else jumped as they realized the presence of the Aburame. "Where's Ino?"

"Never mind that." Shikamaru answered. "Look at who's with the Hokage."

Sora frowned as he glanced at the front from the corner of his eye. There stood an Anbu with a Tiger mask and one with a shark mask. He repressed a twitch as he recognized the chakra signature. "Why the hell didn't they tell me?" He hissed quietly gaining the attention of those around him.

"Why didn't who tell you?" Sohi inquired innocently not at all flinching when she felt the killing intent radiating from the teen.

"Hey guys." Ino called as she walked to the little group. 'We must have done a lot more bonding than I thought last night.' "What's going on?"

"Just the fact that there are two Anbu with the Hokage." Kiba stated off handedly as he approached from the row behind them. "I don't believe we met yesterday. Kiba Inuzuka, and this is my dog, Akamaru, pleasure to meet you Kami Sora."

"…Agreed." Sora answered the greeting with a slight nod of his head.

"So do you know who they are?" Ino questioned, curiosity brimming in her head.

"…You could say that…" Sora responded technically avoiding the question which Shikamaru made note of.

"Good morning class." The Hokage greeted gaining everyone's attention quickly. "Congratulations to all of you for passing the genin examinations. As you are aware we have a couple of guests here, Tiger and Shark. They will be scouting for genin that they think have a lot of potential. They will train those along with their genin sensei."

'They must be talking about me…' Sasuke thought as he glanced at the two. 'This will be a perfect time to see how far I got…'

"…Now then we have our cells planned." The Hokage declared as he pulled out a small notebook. "…Cell 7 will be Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke, and Inuzuka Kiba. Cell 8 will be Yaminaka Ino, Akimichi Choji, and Nagisa Sohi. Cell 9 is being reserved for next year considering the jonin for cell 9 is out on a mission currently. Cell 10 will be a group of four considering there are uneven numbers of graduates this year. They will be Kami Sora, Hyuuga Hinata, Nara Shikamaru and Aburame Shino."

Shikamaru sighed before he turned. "Did you plan this?"

"…Nope." Sora replied glaring at the Anbu. 'I bet they did though.' "Hey Kiba, good luck with the stuck up snob and 'I'm too good for you' brat."

"Thanks…" Kiba mumbled obviously not happy with the arrangement. "Tell me I can have lunch with you guys…"

"Sure." Sohi exclaimed earning herself an amused look from Sora. "What? It's not like we're not all having lunch together anyways."

"But Kiba should get some team bonding in." Shikamaru pointed out lazily.

"I would like to enjoy my quiet freedom until I have no other choice." Kiba growled slightly causing Ino to look at him.

"Alright." Sora declared standing up. Picking up his dark blue trench coat he started walking towards the door. "Coming?"

Silence surrounded the group as they moved through town while Sora glanced at each of his companions. Ino seemed to be getting well with her new teammates, though it seemed like she and Sohi were the main ones talking. His own cell was accepting the Inuzuka heir quite well, though it seemed like only Hinata was talking quietly with him while Sohi chatted away with the Aburame heir. 'Looks like this may be worth…' His thought was cut off as a thud sounded and he turned to stare at the tangle of limbs.

"Gomen." Ino mumbled as Shikamaru helped her stand from where she fell.

"…It is my fault." The teen proclaimed as he stood up, a smile breaking on his lips causing most of the group to flinch. "I was caught up in my training for my Springtime of Youth."

Sora twitched slightly though not noticeably as he registered the male to memory. He was wearing green spandex and he had unusually large eyebrows.

"No worries. Ino is an airhead anyways." Sora stated offhandedly causing said female to growl. "Are you alright though?"

"Perfect." He chirped causing another flinch from Sora at the perkiness of it all.

"Lee come on!" A brown haired female behind him called causing the male, now name Lee to spin. "Aren't we going to eat?"

"…Go on ahead TenTen-chan, The Springtime of Youths had lead to me to meet the newest generation of genin!" Again the group flinched as his loudness pierced their eardrums. "I shall have lunch with them!" Sora frowned gently though not at the male that had just invited himself to lunch. His eyes scanned the elder shinobi and stopped at a pale eyed male. Sora traced the line of vision to one of his new teammates, Hyuuga Hinata.

"Yo!" Sora hissed loudly, his single eye staring at the male obviously an Hyuuga. "Do you have a problem with my teammate?"

The Hyuuga frowned, the killing intent rolling off of him more noticeably. Sora raised his visible eyebrow and met that killing intent with more killing intent sending the civilians scattering from both groups as the Hyuuga increased his as well. The elder female, TenTen frowned before she grabbed the Hyuuga's arm and dragged him off. "Gomen!"

Sora's frown deepened as he stared at the direction the duo went off in. "Lee-san…Your teammates consist of…?"

Rock Lee blinked before he stared at the impassive teen. He knew that look. He saw it on quite a few shinobi that walked the streets of Konoha; the look of a killer. He knew that this was no ordinary shinobi despite his age and that he had seen more then he should've. "TenTen and Hyuuga Neji…" He trailed off as he watched the only visible part of the silver haired teen's face darken.

"We should get going to our location for lunch." Sora declared his face brightening immensely, though the eldest of the group could tell that it was just a façade. "Lee-san, you're welcome to join us. My treat."

Rock Lee nodded before he followed the group moving to the front so that he was in step with Shikamaru and Sora. "…Ah! Gomen Lee-san, I'm Kami Sora." Sora declared brightly as they entered a restaurant. "This is Nara Shikamaru."

"…Sora-kun…" The silver haired teen frowned as he sat next to the elder teen with Shikamaru on his other side. Choji took the open seat next to Shikamaru and Ino at the end. Directly across from Lee was Shino who was next to Sohi. Kiba sat at the end with Hinata second to last. "…Your Flames of Youth, they've…darkened but are still burning. May I inquire as to what you have against my teammate?"

Sora blinked before he turned to him, staring at his senior by a year. He glanced at Hinata and sent a grateful nod to Sohi who nodded in response before dragging the shy female into another conversation with Kiba joining in. He turned to look at Lee. The green clad youth's eyes widened with shock at the steel in the teen's eyes. "…He…His killing intent…it wasn't aimed at me, you or anybody else other than his own family member. That family member is my teammate and I knew that she could tell that he wanted to kill her. It rubs me the wrong way when a family member wants to kill another. It digs in even worse when the target is one of my companions."

Lee blinked and shivered as he stared at him. His voice, his visible eye, his tense form…they all carried iron causing him to swallow thickly. 'Neji better watch it around him. I have a feeling that if he aims to hurt Hinata-chan…then he'd face this shinobi…'

"Yuuhei Kurenai here for cell 8." A red eyed jounin announced swiftly as she walked in, stunning most of the genin. Sora sighed as he shared a glance with Sohi before she walked to the front with Ino and Choji joining her. Sora nodded once to Ino and the female returned the gesture before the trio left the room. Shikamaru tapped his shoulder nodding in the direction of the Uchiha. Sora glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

"Is there an issue Uchiha?" Sora snarled as he ignored the glare coming from the black haired male.

Sora smirked under his mask as he saw the other genin narrow his eyes and turn away. "Looks like he finally met his match," Shikamaru mumbled. The duo turned to their third companion as they picked up the very faint buzzing sound. Hinata blinked in surprise before the trio started to chuckle themselves. The Aburame's shoulder's were shaking with suppressed laughter.

"Sarutobi Asuma here for cell 10." Sora sighed softly before he stood. He extended his hand to the Nara beside him. Shikamaru blinked before he accepted the hand and the silver haired male pulled him up.

"Shino, Hinata, shall we?" Sora inquired as he and Shikamaru walked down the stairs. Hinata smiled before she stood following the quiet Aburame.

"Hai!"

"…You have no idea who we are, do you?" Sora inquired bluntly when the quartet stopped near the training grounds of the academy. Asuma smiled before he nodded gesturing for the male to go first. "Kami Sora, pleasure. Your cell consists of Hyuuga Hinata the shyest Hyuuga known, Aburame Shino the Aburame heir, and Nara Shikamaru the laziest shinobi ever known." His teammates glanced at him in surprise before shaking their heads. "And you are…?

"Sarutobi Asuma." Their jounin sensei managed to hide his surprise at the role that the silver haired male had taken from the other three but not Shikamaru. "Are you familiar with the Survival exercises?"

"…Why would we need to do one?" Shikamaru inquired tearing his eyes from the sky to stare at their sensei. "We did plenty of them during the academy days didn't we?"

"…We have to survive against you." Sora declared quietly instantly picking up the task. "To become genin?"

Asuma smirked behind his cigarette. 'These kids are smart…' "Yes. To become full fledge genin you need to pass this exam. Only 33% of the graduates get to start their journey. Everyone else goes back for more training."

The jounin for Cell 10 blinked in surprise at the look of indifference from the males of the group and the blank look on the Hyuuga. 'This is an interesting group…'

"Regardless, today we start with basic sparing. Taijutsu only. Shino, Sora you're up first."

A sigh left the genin's lips as he walked down the streets of town having already separated from his cell. The sparing session had ended and the strenghts on the team were decided. Sora was perhaps the fastest of the quartet but Shino surpassed him when it came to reflexes. Shikamaru surpassed both when it came to tactics and Hinata knew the best locations to pinpoint her attacks. "…I think my cell is going to be pretty interesting…" Sora trailed off as his instincts shot up.

It took no more than a second before his attacker launched himself at the teen. Sora frowned before the one that was tackled disappeared in a burst of petals. He blinked slightly from his perch in a tree at the teen that was now lying on the ground, minor scratches visible. "Lee-san?"

Rock Lee chuckled before he shot to his feet. "Yosh! I'd expect no less from you Sora-kun!" Sora inwardly flinched at his loud voice. "Has the Springtime of Youth replenished itself Sora-kun?"

Another flinch. Sora's eye blinked in surprise before he was forced to jump to the ground as another green blur slammed into his perch. "Nani?"

"It is just as you said Lee!" Sora paled even more as he took in the sight of the elder male, the exact same copy as Lee. "He does HAVE THE SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH!"

'THERE'S ANOTHER ONE?' Sora thought in horror as the duo dragged him off to a training ground.

A/N: There ends another chapter. I seem to like this version better then the 1st. One thing that I did change was the test for cell 10. So what do you think? Do the honors of Reviewing please and thank you to those who do review. Until I get the next rewrite chapter up, Ja Ne!

I would've kept the other chapters up but...it didn't seem to follow where it was going so I apologize once again for taking it down. I'll get working on the rewrites though.
