A/N: I believe my beta must be busy so I just decided to upload chapter two again and change it up a bit but not too much.

Chapter Two – Survival Training

Naruto, Hinata and Sasuke all wait for their Jounin which still hasn't showed up. "What's taking him so long? He should be here by now. Everyone one else has met their sensei and we're still sitting here waiting for our slow sensei" Naruto fumed. He was growing tired of waiting, if anyone knew the blonde well enough they would know that he isn't a very patient person.

"I-I'm sure…h-he'll be c-coming N-Naruto-kun" Hinata says. Sasuke looks at her and rolls his eyes. Although he was slightly pleased not to have a fan-girl be on his team he was still very much annoyed by this girl, she stuttered more than anyone he knew. He figured it could be some sort of speech disorder, that or she was just too shy.

"Stop that stuttering it's annoying" He states as he glares at her. Hinata looks away from Sasuke. "G-Gomen" She whispers as she looks at her hands. Naruto looks at Hinata and then Sasuke and grimaces.

"Leave her alone Sasuke!" Naruto yelled out loudly as he looks at the raven haired ninja. Sasuke looks at Naruto while closing his eyes; folding his arms across his chest. "Shut-up baka, you know it as much as I do that it's annoying so stop trying any differently about it" He sighed. Naruto laughs in a nervously while looking at Hinata who still hasn't said a word.

"Um…don't pay him no mind Hinata, heh, I don't find it annoying" He grins but Hinata still doesn't say anything afraid that if she does she'll start stuttering; annoying both Sasuke and Naruto.

Silence lurked the room, the silence wasn't very comfortable either; you could hear a pen drop that's how quiet it was. Naruto didn't find this to be very comfortable, placed on a team with two people who weren't as talkative as him made things very awkward.

"Well this teacher is taking forever, I'll show him not to mess with me" Naruto walks towards the chalkboard and grabs the eraser and placed it above the door.

"I-I d-don't that's a good idea Naruto-kun"

"Well it'll teach him not to be late" Naruto grins.

Sasuke scoffs. "He's a Jounin; someone of his caliber will not fall for such a dumb trick" He stated as a matter of fact. Apparently Sasuke was wrong because as soon door slid opened the eraser hit him right on top of his head head.

Hinata and Sasuke both looked stunned that the Jounin fell for the trick, as for Naruto who was laughing out loudly while holding onto the sides of his stomach, "You felt for it. That was classic! That's what you get for being so late" Naruto continued in amusement.

He looks at three; he knew that this team was going to be a interesting bunch. "My first impression of you all is…I hate you"

"Now I want you all to introduce yourselves" Naruto looked at him confusingly not really knowing what to say. "What do you mean 'introduce ourselves'?" Naruto asked.

"Tell me your name, your likes and dislikes, dreams, and hobbies" He states. "I'll go first. My name is Hatake Kakashi, I have no intension of telling you my likes or dislikes, and my dreams…well I don't feel like telling you and my hobbies…I also don't feel like telling you" He states..

"He didn't tell us anything thing about him but his name" Hinata thought as she stared at him blankly.

"I'm next! I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I like cup ramen and I hate the 3 minutes that you have to wait after I put in the ramen hot water. My hobbies are eating ramen and compare the cup ramen, and my dream is to become greater than all of the Hokages and make all villagers recognize my existence" He grins widely. That's what he dreams of; he's tired of people always looking down at him. Growing up as a child he couldn't quite comprehend why everyone shunned him but after finding out the truth all he wanted to do it to proved to everyone that he isn't the monster they think he is.

Sasuke groaned in annoyance at the blonde's introduction, his loud rambunctious tone was annoying, "I can't believe I'm stuck on a team with this guy" His eyes then glanced over at Hinata who was staring at Naruto so intensely with that love struck gaze in her eyes, it was sickening to look at that display.

Kakashi nodded. "Very well, what about you?" He looks at Sasuke. "My name is Uchiha Sasuke, there are many things that I hate, and a few things that I like and my ambition is to revive my clan and to kill a certain someone" He glowers.

"I hope he isn't talking about me" He stares at Sasuke in fear; he knew the male was strong and he had a feeling that he is annoyed by him a lot. But in the past when they very first met, during the Uchiha massacre Naruto tried to befriend the male. They were friend briefly but shortly after that things weren't the same anymore, probably because Sasuke has grown up since then. His azure eyes continued to gaze at Sasuke until Kakashi's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

"And what about you young lady, how about you tell me about yourself" Hinata blushes when she knew that now all the attention was focus on her.

"Ano…m-my name is Hyuuga Hinata, I like many things such as eating Senzai and cinnamon rolls and I love to c-cook, and hate eating crab and eel, My hobbies are pressing flowers and my dream…" Hinata she took a long pause causing Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke to all stare at her.

"M-My dream…is for my father to someone day be acknowledge me and treat me more l-like his daughter and t-to become stronger. I would also like to be able to fight my father one today "Her voice was firm and full of determination.

Kakashi knew what she meant and felt sorry for the young girl.

Flashback

"Hinata-sama is a lost cause she can't even defeat her own sister who is younger than her" Haishi stated as he looked at Hanabi who was standing in front of him. Kakashi looked at the older Hyuuga and frowned.

"And she's not even comparable to her cousin Neji…so I'm leaving her in your care Hatake Kakashi…I don't even care if she dies on a mission" He states.

Kakashi continued frowning at the ninja. "How can you say such things about your own daughter?" He asked as he glared at Haishi.

"Because what I say is the truth…she's just a lost cause"

Little did they know that the young Hyuuga girl was standing outside the door listening.

End of Flashback

He couldn't believe that her father could be so careless as to treat his own daughter like that. Sighing softly to himself he shook his head to rid himself of those thoughts. "Your first mission is survival training" He stated, you could easily tell that he was smiling by the look in his eyes.

The blonde was not at all too pleased with finding out that they had to do more training. A frown settled its way on his face, crossing his arms over his chest; he gazed over at both Hinata and Sasuke to see what expressions they had. Hinata looked passive about it while Sasuke held no facial expression but judging from the look in his eyes he wasn't pleased with this either. "But we did training at the academy" He whined.

Kakashi stared blankly before letting out a great loud laugh, causing the three students to raise their eyebrows in confusion. "Twenty-seven graduates, only nine will become Genins. The other eighteen will be sent back academy. In other words, the test has become a sixty-six drop out rate" No one knew how to respond to that after he explained that to them, so this must be a pretty serious thing.

"You are to bring you're ninja equipment and meet at five A.M…oh and don't eat breakfast or you'll throw up if you do" They all watched as he left in a poof of smoke.

"Don't eat…?" Naruto repeated. They all sat there puzzled to what he meant. "Well…" The blonde stood up. "I better get going now" He looked down at Sasuke and glared at him.

"Baka" Sasuke looked at him and frowned.

"Bye Hinata" He grinned as he left.

Hinata started blushing as she started fiddling with her fingers as she stood up as did Sasuke. Then that's when it hit her she was all alone with him. She began to get nervous. This Uchiha made her so nervous, he's always acting like he was better then everyone, and he always looked down on Naruto which she doesn't like. He looked at her and noticed that she was blushing.

"I thought you were different, I guess I was wrong. You are just like the rest" He turned his back on her and as he did he noticed the Kiba was making his way towards them.

"Hinata!" He shouted out loudly wearing his wide grin as he walked towards them with his dog Akamaru on his head. Hinata smiled when she saw him because now it was longer awkward for her. She walked passed Sasuke and towards Kiba.

Kiba looked back at Sasuke and frowned. "So what were you doing here alone with him?" He asked while staring at Sasuke. The raven haired male merely ignored him feeling that he wasn't worth replying to.

"We were just coming from our introduction with Kakashi-sensei" She paused and glanced over on top of his head noticing the small white dog, "Is this your dog?" Hinata asked as she patted the top of the furry white dog's head.

"Yeah, this is Akamaru" He grinned proudly, "Akamaru meet Hyuga Hinata" Akamaru barked as he licked Hinata's hand causing her to giggled.

"Um…Hinata, is it alright if I walk you home?" Kiba asked as he looked at her blushing. Hinata nodded her head as she turned around a bowed to Sasuke.

"Ja ne Sasuke-kun" She walked off with Kiba. Sasuke said nothing as he nodded.

It was now the next day and they showed up bright and early despite how tired they currently were," Good morning" Hinata said sheepishly.

"Good morning" Naruto said as he rubbed his eyes.

As for Sasuke he said nothing, it was very early but he wasn't going to show the others just how tired he really was.

"Eh? Where is he?" Naruto asked to no one in particular, he wanted to hurry up and begin this training. Glancing over at his female teammate, thoughts of the previous day flashed through his mind. He never pictured a girl like her would have a hard time trying to please her father. "Hinata what did you mean yesterday when you said, you wanted you father to acknowledge you?" He asked.

Hinata looked up at him and could tell not just Naruto but Sasuke seemed like he wanted to know as well. "My Father doesn't like me, he calls me weak and is always saying that I shouldn't be a ninja and I once heard him tell Kakashi-sensei that he wouldn't even care if I died on a mission" They both looked at her in shock.

"What kind of father is that you really have bastard as a father Hinata" Naruto blurts out, feeling the anger within him boiling up. How could a man say those things to her? She's such a kind sweet girl, she deserves much better than that. Maybe she needed some encouraging words from someone that could possibly help.

Sasuke looks at Hinata and watches her as she smiles, but in his eyes it appeared as if she were trying to force that smile on her face. "…I just want to prove to him that I can become stronger so I'll be fit to be the Hyuuga heiress"

Naruto eyes widened. "Heiress? Wow that's amazing Hinata" He looked at her in amazement.

"…Naruto-kun…" She whispered with flushed cheeks. Sasuke looked at her and smirked, this girl was becoming more and more interesting as he got to know her more.

Hours passed and it was now passed eleven. Kakashi had now made his presence known, chuckling while looking at his students, mainly the now angry one. Naruto glares at the Jounin. "What hell? You tell us to be here at five in the morning and you don't get here until after eleven" He bellowed out loudly.

"Sorry about that I got sided tracked…now let's begin"

Naruto frowns. "He's acting like he didn't do anything wrong"

Kakashi pulled out a clock sitting it down on a tree stump, setting the alarm for noon, "I want you all to set your watches for twelve noon" Nodding their heads, looking down at their watches, they all watched as he sets the clock to noon. "Your first task is take one of these two bells" They all look at the bells.

"Whoever can't, won't eat lunch when it's time to eat" As soon as he said that all of they're stomachs started to growl. They all blushed of embarrassment.

"So that's why he told us not to eat" Sasuke thought as he looked at his teacher, he could hold out for a bit long. It wasn't like he was starving or anything.

"Bells? I thought you said that is survival training?" Naruto asked completely perplexed but the thought of him involving bells

Kakashi starts insulting Naruto as he tells them all that in order to take the bells, they would have to kill him. They all looked at him in shock.

Naruto immediately takes out his dagger and attacks, but Kakashi immediately is able to turn the attack against Naruto.

Sasuke and Hinata looked at Kakashi in shock. "H-He turned Naruto-kun attack against him" Hinata says as she looks at Naruto and her sensei.

"Now are you ready?" He asked the three. They all nodded. Soon everyone is hiding except for Naruto. He attacks 'fair and square'.

"Ninja fighting lesson one; taijutsu" He reaches in his pocket getting ready to pull out something. Naruto looks at him wondering what he was about to pull out.

Sasuke and Hinata are also watching from there hiding place. Then they all see what he pulls out as they all sweat drop and sigh.

Naruto looks at the book and points at it. "What is that…it's a pervert book? Why are you reading that now?" Naruto yells. "I'm not finished reading it yet…if your going to attack me then come on already…" Naruto frowns as he run towards Kakashi.

Every attack that Naruto fires on him is avoided. Soon, Kakashi is behind Naruto and his hand is in the seal of a tiger position.

"What? That's a dangerous move…he could actually kill Naruto-kun" Hinata thought as she looked at the hand seal. Sasuke was thinking the same thing as Hinata as he watched with wide eyes.

He performs a high Ninja technique in the element of fire which basically poked Naruto in the butt and sends him flying. Hinata sighs. "At least Naruto-kun is okay" She thought to herself.

"What a dumb attack" The raven haired ninja frowned.

"Hokage-sama this Hatake Kakashi…I heard rumors about him…and how difficult he is" Iruka stated.

"Here look at this" Hokage hands him a book. "Those are all the people that had Kakashi….he never passed a single person" Iruka looks at him in shock.

"Everyone has failed"

Naruto performs a mass shadow replica and seven Naruto's attack Kakashi. One caught Kakashi from behind, and Kakashi was able to quickly change places with one of the replications of Naruto. Suddenly, Naruto sees a bell lying on the ground. He runs over to it but he gets caught in a trap and hung by his feet on the nearest tree. As Kakashi begins lecturing Naruto on his movements, Sasuke throws his ninja stars and hits him.

Kakashi goes flying backwards, something that either Hinata or Naruto expected as their eyes widened in distress. "Kakashi-sensei" Hinata thought as she watched him slowly fall on the ground.

"Sasuke went to far this time" He looked at Kakashi and then at Sasuke and frowned.

Sasuke smirked as he watched what was happening. Naruto looked at Sasuke and began yelling at him. "Sasuke-teme you went to far this time. Now we don't have-"Naruto was interrupted was he heard as poof noise. Everyone looks at the log with the ninja stars on them. Kakashi changes places again and the log was just another Kawarimi (changed body). He knew where Sasuke is as he leaves to go after him. Hinata comes out of her hiding spot as she walks towards Naruto.

"Naruto-kun…" She looks up at him. He looks down in embarrassment. "Um…Hinata can you um…get me down from here" He chuckles nervously. Hinata nodded as she threw a kunai to hit the rope as it broke and down came Naruto. She helped untying him as she started blushing at how close she was to him.

"Where did he go?" Naruto asked as he looked around.

"I-I believe he went after S-Sasuke-kun" She stated. Naruto nodded his head. "Hinata we better split up and try to find him" Hinata nodded as the two went in different directions.

Hinata takes off to try to find Kakashi but he end up behind her. He performs a transformation which shows Naruto dying with his ninja stars stuck throughout his body.

"Hinata…help me" He says in a painfully way. Hinata took one look at Naruto and faints in horror.

"That is Ninja fight lesson two: Genjutsu…I guess I went a little too far"

Sasuke attacks Kakashi and through several attacks, almost gets a bell. "I almost touched it…if I can try it one more time" He thought to himself.

"You are very different from the other two" Sasuke performs fire element, Grand Fireball no Jutsu and blows at Kakashi, but he disappears by performing Earth Element Decapitation no Jutsu. He then reaches up from the ground and grabs Sasuke's leg to pull him into the ground.

Suddenly the bell ring and Kakashi declares that they all should quit as ninjas. "Do you know why you were put into teams of three?" He waits for an answer but doesn't receive one.

"Teamwork…it all lies in teamwork but it's too late now. There are two bells to see who would be willing to sacrifice their own place in favor of teamwork, but the two bells serve as a divider amongst the team. You all fell for the trap and worked to serve your own selfish desires" Kakashi walks over to the stone memorial.

"This is the memorial included all of the names of the heroes of this village" Naruto smiles.

"My name will be on there someday" He grins.

"Those who lost their live for the success of the mission" Naruto gets quiet as Sasuke and Hinata looked mildly surprised. "My best friend's name is on here" He states while looking at the stone, his eyes narrows in guilt.

"I'll give you one more chance after lunch. But Naruto will not eat seeing that you tried to eat before everyone else…and anyone who feeds Naruto will fail" Naruto frowns as he watched Kakashi leave.

Naruto watches as Sasuke and Hinata eat their food in front of him. His stomach starts to growl as he looks at the food. Sasuke ignores Naruto and continues eating while Hinata starts to feel bad about Naruto.

"N-Naruto-kun…here you can have mine" She whispers. Naruto looks at Hinata in surprised that she was even offering him anything. "Hinata I couldn't I don't want you to fail" He stated softly. Hinata blushes but she shakes her head, she wanted to help him besides he looked really hungry anyways.

"You're hungry and I want y-you t-to have it" Sasuke frowns as he looks at her.

"Are you an idiot? He said whoever feeds him will fail and if you do you will fail" He stated. Hinata ignored Sasuke as she continued looking at Naruto. He grunted when he noticed that Hinata was ignoring him, he never been ignored by girl before. He normally would be relived but for some reason her ignoring him bothered the jet black haired male a lot.

"Well if you want me to but you're going to have to feed me Hinata" He looks at her and grins. Hinata blushes as she nodded. Sasuke watched as he began to frown but then he sighs.

"You better hurry before he catches you" He tells Hinata. She nods as she begins to feed Naruto while blushing.

Kakashi suddenly appears and threatens them with a lighting storm. "I THOUGHT I SAID NOT TO FEED HIM…" Sasuke and Naruto and Hinata all look at him in fear.

"W-We work as a team" Hinata said as she looked at him. Both Naruto and Sasuke nodded they're heads. Kakashi frowns. "YOU ALL…" They look at him not knowing what he is going to say.

"Pass" Kakashi smiles from behind his mask.

"W-What?" They all said in unison.

"You pass" He repeated.

"How can that be?" Sasuke asked.

"Up until now, the others had done everything I told them to. A shinobi must read underneath the underneath, and they must take care of their friends" He smiled. Naruto and Hinata smiles while Sasuke smirks.

"I passed" Naruto shouted happily. Hinata blushed as she smiled.

"I passed…this is wonderful" She smiled as she slumped down on the ground.

Three weeks has passed since that day and they have been on their first mission which was a life changing experience for them, but now they finally arrived back home in Konoha. Naruto wakes up, eat breakfast, and head out to meet the others. Both Sasuke and Hinata are waiting for their daily missions. When Naruto and Sasuke see each other, the tension between them mounts.

Hinata looks at the two and sighs. "Those two have been acting like that ever since we came back from that mission" Hinata looks at Naruto and blushes when she notices that he was standing right next to her.

"So he still hasn't come yet has he?" Naruto asked.

"N-No" Hinata stutters.

Naruto sighs. "Geez…what's with this guy he's always late"

Sasuke looks at Hinata and notices how she blushes a lot and he finds it annoying. Hinata notices that Sasuke was staring at her; she turns her head to look at him. She gives a 'what are you looking at' stare which took Sasuke back.

"You're so annoying and weak" Sasuke glared at the young Hyuuga. Naruto looks at Sasuke in shock and then he frowns.

"Sasuke!" He says in surprise. Hinata looks at him as her eyes started to become filled with sadness.

"Don't talk about Hinata like that! She's not weak, she's a very strong person so don't talk down on her like that you baka" Naruto hissed. Hinata looked at Naruto and blushes.

"N-Naruto-kun" "He's taking up for me" She blushes.

Sasuke frowns as he looks at Hinata. "That's your opinion and I'm entitled to mine; I think she is weak and useless" He states as he frowns at the young Hyuuga girl. Hinata looks down at the ground feeling out of place

"Why you asshole, I ought to kick your-"

"It's okay N-Naruto-kun…" Naruto looks at Hinata as did Sasuke. Hinata looks up at Sasuke with a determined expression. "I'll prove you wrong…I'll prove to you that I'm not weak…I'll become stronger I know I can, I promise" She pronounced as she looked at him.

Naruto looks at her in shock. "H-Hinata…"

Sasuke looks at her and smirks. "You want to prove me wrong? I hope you can keep that promise of yours and if you can I promise not to call you weak or useless anymore" He smirked. Hinata smirks as she looks at him.

Naruto looks at the two and then Hinata. "Hinata…"

Kakashi shows up late as usual with a handful of missions consisting mainly of errands and household chorus. Naruto is very focus on beating Sasuke throughout each task and ends up messing up most of his chorus and he not only de-weeds a woman's garden, but removes her herbs as well. He almost gets pulled over a waterfall until Sasuke saves him. And his dog walks him instead of the other way around.

"Today is an off day for teamwork so you can leave for the day" Kakashi states. The three get ready to leave but Sasuke takes one more shot at Naruto by telling him that if he doesn't want to owe him anything and that Naruto will need to become stronger than him. With that he leaves both Hinata and Naruto and heads off home by himself.

Naruto frowns as he looks at Sasuke. Hinata notices that she still had Sasuke's kunai since he let her see it when they were on they're mission to protect the bridge worker. She always forget to bring hers so Sasuke would let her burrow one of his; surprisingly. She walks up towards Sasuke. "Ano…S-Sasuke-kun…y-your kunai" She hands it to him and smiles. He looks at the kunai and than her as he takes it from her and frowns.

"The same applies for you as well your level is lower than Naruto's, you need to spend more time training and less time blushing over the dobe" He states as he walks away. This pretty much crushes Hinata as Naruto looks at Hinata wondering what Sasuke meant by what he just said.

Naruto walks towards Hinata. "Aw don't worry about what he said Hinata…if you want we could train together sometimes" He stated while grinning. She blushed. "M-Me train with N-Naruto-kun" She blushed.

"O-Okay" As the two started walking together they both come encounter with a box which makes it way towards Naruto and then it explodes revealing Konohamaru and two other kids, Moegi and Udon.

"We are the Konohamaru Corps" Konohamaru pronounces. Hinata smiles as she looks at the kids. "They're so Kawaii" She smiles as she looks at the three. Naruto looks at Konohamaru and grins.

"Play ninja with us Naruto-niisan" Konohamaru pleaded as he looked at Naruto. Naruto looked at Hinata and noticed that she was looking at him. He blushed of embarrassment.

"Aw come on Konohamaru you know that I'm too old to play ninjas" He stated while closing his eyes.

"What? You just played ninjas with us the other day" Konohamaru yelled. The eight year old looked at Hinata and then he grinned as he looked back at Naruto.

"Oh I get it…you just want to play because your girlfriend is around" he smirked while the other two kids agreed. Hinata blushed while Naruto shook his head and pointed his finger at Hinata.

"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND" He yelled angrily. Hinata looked sad at how upset he seemed when Konohamaru said she was his girlfriend.

"Am I really that bad looking?" She thought as she looked down at the ground. Konohamaru looked at Hinata. "She's really pretty, boss I'm surprised that she's not your girlfriend" Konohamaru blushed as he looked at the young Hyuuga. Hinata blushed. Naruto frowned as he looked at Konohamaru.

"Why don't you want to play ninja…w-with t-them Naruto-kun" Hinata asked shyly. Naruto looked at her in shock.

"Well…it's for babies…"

Hinata said nothing as she looked at him. "See Boss she doesn't mind if you play with us" Naruto looked at Hinata but said nothing.

"I-I better get going n-now" She said as she started walking but as soon as she turned around she bumped into someone.

"Ano…Gomen Nasai" She said.

"Watch where your going kid" The ninja frowned as he looked at Hinata. Naruto frowned. "She said that she was sorry" Naruto frowned at the ninja. He ninja scoffed.

"Stay out of this kid…no one was talking to you" He frowned. Naruto frowned as he looked at the ninja. "Why you teme" Naruto uses a technique on the ninja that was standing in front of Hinata but he uses an attack to knock Naruto back.

The ninja looks at Hinata and smirks while she looks at him in horror. The ninja starts to hit Hinata but Sasuke interferes and hits the ninja with a rock preventing the attack and end up impressing Hinata, Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi.

"Wow he's so cool…why can't you be cool like that boss?" Konohamaru asked. Naruto looks at Sasuke and frowns. "Sasuke…Sasuke…SASUKE THAT SHOW OFF" Naruto yells in his mind.

"What are you doing messing with these kids?" The female ninja asked the male ninja. The ninja doesn't answer as he glares at the ninja who throw the rock.

"You…get down here and fight like a real ninja teme and stop hiding in that tree" He yelled at Sasuke. Sasuke frowned.

"That's enough Kankurou" The red head says while hanging from the tree. Sasuke looks at to see the ninja beside him. "I didn't even sense him standing there" Sasuke thought as he looked at the red head. The ninja looked at Sasuke as he disappeared and was now standing next to his teammates.

"Kankurou we didn't come to this village to mess with these kids" He states as he glares at the older male ninja. "I'm sorry Gaara" He looks away from Gaara as he smiles. Sasuke looks at Gaara.

"So he must be the leader" Sasuke thought as he looked at Gaara. Gaara looks at Sasuke still impressed that Sasuke hit his teammate in the hand so easily with just a rock.

Hinata looked at the ninjas and noticed that they didn't look like they were from Konoha. Just as they were about to walk away Hinata stopped them.

"A-Ano…w-wait" Gaara turned around and looked at the Hyuuga. "What is it?" He asked. "Aren't you from the Sand village? What are you doing h-here?" She asked Gaara. Gaara looked at the young ninja and knew right away that she was a Hyuuga because of her eyes.

"We are Genins of the Hidden Village of the Sand from the country of wind and we came here to take the Chuunin exams" Gaara says as he looks at Hinata. She nods as she looks at him.

"You're a Hyuuga am I correct?" He asked. She blushed as she nodded her head. "I heard about your clan, your clan is the strongest clan in Konoha from what I hear" He states as he looks at her. Sasuke looks at Hinata when he makes that statement as he scoffs.

"H-Hai…" She says faintly. "Yes its true our clan is the strongest…but I'm no where as strong as them" She makes as sad expression as she looks at the ground. Gaara notices the expression but doesn't comment on it.

"What's your name girl?" He asked her. Both Sasuke and Naruto seemed shocked that he wanted to know Hinata's name as did Kankurou and Temari.

"M-My name…?" She asked while pointing at herself. He nods his head. "You're the only girl that I'm talking to" He frowned.

"I-It's Hinata…Hyuuga Hinata." She says as she blushes.

Sasuke frowns as he looks at Gaara. "Oi what's your name?" Sasuke asked as he frowned. Gaara turned back around as looks at Sasuke and smirked. "My name is Gaara…what's yours?" He asked.

"Uchiha Sasuke" Both exchanges hard looks at each other.

Well if my beta ever sends the version of this chapter she had I will be sure to upload it. But for now this is a semi-original version just a few tweaks here and there but not very many.
