Hello Everyone! Finally the next chapter in this story is out. It just took over 1,5 years for this.

I really want to apologize to all the people that waited for this to come out, and i hope you like the continuation of this story.

When teachers are about meets their students for the first time, they always try to think of how they will act. Will they be training the next protégé, or the class clown? How will the team take to the tutoring, and will they get along?

All of these questions where swirling around in Naruto´s head while he was walking towards the academy to meet his new team. From what he had been told, his team would be team 7. Just like his old team was back in the day. To say that he was nervous about this was an understatement. He had been talking for hours last night with Kakashi to try and learn how to be a good sensei. Thinking back on it now, he might have not been the best guy to ask.

"As long as you can get there teamwork up to par on missions, then you should just let the rest sort itself out." is what Kakashi had told him. But the blonde however was a more hands on guy that liked to actually do stuff 100% when he did them.

As he entered the halls of the academy, the sense of nostalgia hit him. He could remember all the times Iruka had yelled at him, and how he would run away from class to do his pranks instead of sitting there listening to the boring lessons. The memory trip was interrupted by said teacher.

"Naruto, it´s so good to see you again. Are you ready for this?" Iruka asked. The man was looking at Naruto with great pride. Sure, he had been a difficult child during his years in the academy, but he had grown up to be one of, if not the best shinobi in Konoha.

Naruto looked at his old sensei with a nervous smile while scratching the back of his neck. "As ready as i´ll ever be i guess."

After talking a bit with Iruka, he was shown to the classroom where he was to pick up the new team 7. He slid open the door to look at a fully packed class that was running around like a pack of crazy dogs. However, when he stepped into the room, he could hear whispers from the class as they all stopped what they were doing to look at him with big eyes. "Isn´t that THE Naruto Uzumaki?" was what most of them were asking. As silence fell over the students, Naruto walked to the middle of the room, and looked at the students with a big smile.

"Team 7, i will be your sensei Naruto Uzumaki. Meet me behind the school in 5 minutes." As he said that, he disappeared in a flash of yellow. Of course being the person he was, he had to show off a little bit for the future shinobi of the village. His disappearance caused three of the students to stand up with wide eyes and a slack jaw, before they walked out of the classroom towards the back of the school.

As the three students made it too the designated meeting place, they found their sensei sitting there meditating under a tree. When they stepped up right in front of him, he motioned with his hands to the ground before him without even opening his eyes. The students took this as their queue to sit, and waited for their sensei to open his eyes.

After a few minutes he opened his eyes, and looked at his team. He gave them his usual foxy grin before he opened his mouth to speak.

"As i said earlier i will be the sensei of team 7, and i think we will start of the day with telling a little bit about ourselves. Just so that we can get to know each other."

He could see that his students was looking at him without understanding what he meant, so before they could say anything, he started with himself.

"My name, as i said earlier is Naruto Uzumaki. I will be your Jonin sensei, and my likes are ramen, my precious people and the village. My dream is to become the hokage." As he said this, he pointed to the girl to his left to continue.

"My name is Asami Kurama from the Kurama clan. My likes are my family, genjutsu and taking walks in the forest. My dream is to one day be known for my skill in genjutsu.» The girl was a fairly slim girl with purple eyes and red hair tied up in a ponytail. She was wearing a teal blouse, and gray shorts. Naruto had heard of this clan, it was a clan of high skilled genjutsu users, and he had encountered someone from this clan earlier, most likely her mother.

The next one was a kid with markings that Naruto could recognize anywhere. These were the markings of the Inuzuka clan. The boy had ruffled black hair, and wore a grey t-shirt and black pants. You could see his eagerness to start his introduction.

«My name is Koji Inuzuka, and i like my family and my friends. And my dreams for the future is to be the greatest tracker of all the Inuzuka, even grater than Kiba.»

The boy kinda reminded him of Kiba, and it was obvious that he was looking up to the man that would be the next clan heir. The last person of his team only scoffed at the boy, and with an air of superiority started introdusing herself.

«My name is Tamiko Yamanaka. My likes are myself, and my family, and my dream is not the business of any one of you.»

Oh boy, he had gotten a snobby girl from the Yamanaka clan. The girl was dressed in an outfit that was fairly similar to Ino´s old attire back from their days as gennin, only the clothes were a lot darker, almost black.

He looked at his team, and told them to meet him at training ground 7 the next morning at 9, so that they could take the test. As expected, they had the same reaction as he and his team had when Kakashi told them about it. Only this time, they were meeting much later, and he did not tell the part about skipping breakfast. After that he dismissed his team, and disappeared, only to hide in the shadows and watch his team. And boy what a surprise he got when he watched and added up everything he saw.

Apparently, the first think Koji decided to do after Naruto left was to try and ask Tamiko for a date. But the girl only wrinkled her nose at him and told him to beat it. The boy seemed pretty down about it for a second, before he scratched his nose and took of with a small grin. He knew that grin. That was the one he used to get when he was gonna prove someone wrong.

He didn´t stay any longer to ponder, as he had to go get ready for his dinner with Ino. Maybe she could tell her some more about her family member that was now on his team?

After a shower and getting dressed, Naruto headed out to pick up Ino at her apartment. This was the first time he had ever been on a date, and he was quite nervous. He knew Ino had changed a lot during the years. But he had a feeling she was still a daddy´s girl at heart, and therefore liked to be spoiled. She would probably expect this to be a really fancy thing, and he hoped it was good enough, even though this date was set in a joking matter.

He arrived at her apartment at the exact time, and knocked on the door. All his thoughts about this date was stopped in their tracks when his mind melted at the sight before him. There stood a beautiful girl in a black dress and high heels that really showed off her shapely legs. Her hair was in its regular setup, but it looked great on her as always. As Naruto was checking her out, Ino was standing there with a smirk on her face at the reaction she got out of him. But he still was not that bad himself. He was dressed in a very formal white shirt, and a white version of his battle cloak. He was also wearing tux pants and shoes, all in all making him look pretty fancy. The Naruto of old would definitely not dress like this, but she was not complaining at all.

After they both kind off stood there like fools, Naruto reached out his arm for Ino to take.

«Are you ready? I hope you will enjoy what i have planned» His voice displayed that he took this very serious, he almost looked a little nervous. Ino only smiled at him and took his arm before they walked off to whatever he had planned for them.

That night was far beyond the expectations that Ino had for the night. It was clear that Naruto had changed a lot over the years and matured a lot.

He was a total gentleman the entire night to her, and had taken her to one of the most fancy restaurants in the village. Their conversations had been pleasant, and he even offered his cloak when dinner was over and they went for a walk in the park. All in all a great evening, even with the one who was known as the most hyperactive ninja in the village.

When they arrived back at her apartment, Naruto smiled at her as she returned his cloak.

«Honestly, i was super nervous before this seeing as this is kinda the first date i have ever had. But i actually had a great time.»

«Well, you definitely did great for your first date Naruto. This was great, quite more than i expected actually.»

They were both lightly chuckling, and when Naruto said goodnight, Ino walked up and kissed him on the cheek.

«We should do this again sometime. If this is how you treat a lady to a good time.»

After that she walked into her apartment and closed the door with a smile on her face.

Naruto for his part only stood there for a moment staring at her door while his brain tried to catch up to what had just happened. After a while, he shook his head and walked homewards in a good mood. He had really not expected a date with Ino beeing this great. And she even wanted to do this again sometime.
