"Alright, calm down." The voice of the scarred brunette boomed through the classroom, filled with Gennin graduates. Everybody, knowing how his temper could flare easily, silenced themselves.
Sasuke, who was sitting somewhere in the middle rows, near the window, breathed out a sigh of relief; as soon as Iruka-sensei entered, those annoying girls left him alone. Shrieking, fighting and swooning over him, but still left. Leaving him all alone with his adorable dobe; who was currently squirming in his seat, unable to contain his happiness. He caught Sasuke's eyes and flashed him a grin; Sasuke pushed the blush down where it came from. It wouldn't do for Uchiha to show his emotions that easily.
Iruka started his speech, and soon enough the Gennins were divided into cells.
"Team 7: Namikaze Naruto…" The blonde youth raised his head, nervously biting his lips; Sasuke was glaring at the parchment of paper in their sensei's hands, daring it to not put him on the same team. "… Utahano Sai…" Two heads snapped to a dark haired kid two rows in front of them. The boy's face was unexpressive and much too pale. If it wasn't for his face being much slimmer and his hair being much darker, most would confuse Sasuke with him.
Not much was known about Sai; he was an orphan, a loner and whenever he smiled, people tended to be creped out. Sasuke couldn't comprehend why Yondaime put such kid in Naruto's team. Well, he mussed, he better put him into it also, or else…
"And Sasuke Uchiha. Team 8..." Murdering glare disappeared, and a smirk found its way to his face. He sent a sneer Hinata's way, seeing her get stuck with a bug-user and that dog-lover, Kiba. Hinata was bristling with anger, her pale eyes narrowing at him. Sasuke was tempted to do a victory dance right here and now, but remembered Uchiha's never do that kind of things.
Now, where he was… ? Ah yes! He was on Naruto's team! That meant more time will be spent training with the dobe, walking, talking, eating and enjoying his presence. Sasuke slightly smiled at the bright grin Naruto sent him; it seemed like Naruto thought of this situation just as fortunate as he did. Sasuke made a mental note to thank the Blondaime later; maybe he won't press his buttons much today.
Now, three boys stood in an empty classroom, waiting for their new sensei. Naruto was just finished with talking to Sakura, who was shipped off to the hospital, where she was to be under direct tutelage of Inuzuka Rin, as a medic-nin in training. Thanks to her excellent chakra control, the Hokage found it necessary to start her training right away. Sasuke, who was thinking on the same wave-length as the Blondaime, at least when his son was involved, knew this was just a way to get her off Naruto's radar. Over the years, the dobe had a small puppy love nurtured for the rosette; which she was starting to return slowly. Before anything between them could happen, Hokage thrust her into Rin's hands.
Naruto turned to them, smiling cheerfully.
"Hey hey! I have a great idea! Why don't we go to Ichiraku's; you know, to celebrate our teaming up?" Sasuke whole-heartedly nodded and rose from his chair; Sai was awkwardly standing next to the door.
"Ichiraku?" The pale boy asked, confused. Naruto nodded, still smiling.
"Hai! It has the best ramen in the world!" Sai barely managed to give a nod, before he was bristled away by and eager blond; a furious looking Uchiha following them closely.
"So, Sai…" Naruto started, after his third bowl. "What do you like to do?" Sai's head curiously bended, his dark eyes following Naruto feasting up on the noodles.
"Umm, well. I like painting." He said, unsure what the correct answer was. "And reading." Naruto's eyes shined appreciatively.
"Really? I like reading dad's training scrolls, so I guess we're the same in that thing!" Sasuke was watching the scene unfold before him with a mean eye; Goddamn that pale freak! Who the fuck gave him permission to speak to his Naruto? He better find himself another blonde, because Naruto was his!
Fuming silently, his fist clenching dangerously and his eyes flaring up, Sasuke stood up and grabbed Naruto by his wrist.
"Let's train." Naruto, who was bewildered by his friend's antics was now humming affirmatively.
"That's a great idea, Sasuke!" The Uchiha youngster proudly straightened his posture, glad that Naruto found his idea great. But then, his happiness about spending the rest of the day alone with the dobe was crushed when the said dobe turned to Sai, asking him to join them. Sai politely declined. When Naruto started pouting, making both of them blush a little, he said:
"It is time to meet up with our sensei, Naruto-kun." How dare he call him that? Sasuke growled inside of his head. He didn't like this pale freak, not at all.
"Well, well, would you look at that. I was sure you were supposed to wait for me at the Academy." The trio turned around, only to be welcomed by a certain gray haired Jonnin, in all his masked glory; who was currently holding an orange book and giving them an unnoticeable smile.
"K'ashi!" Naruto yipped, before he threw himself at his self-proclaimed brother. Kakashi returned the hug, his only visible eye turning into a 'U'; a sign he was satisfied.
"That's Kakashi-sensei to you three, Naruto."
Sasuke groaned, now out loud; great, he was now stuck with a pervert and a freak! Sasuke wondered if this was Blondiame's punishment for kidnapping Naruto a week ago, so that he could hang out (cuddle) with him without supervision?
Chapter XV Preview: What does he mean; they're not real Gennins? And now, they had to undertake some other, stupid test, to prove their worth? Naruto was almost desperate; how the hell can a mere Gennin take a Jonnin like K'ashi on? He may be oblivious and dunce, but he was no idiot. Though, most people would disagree…
A/N: Do not bitch about Sai's surname; I had to give him some and this was the first one I thought off.
