Ok, first I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed so far! *Hands out cookies*.

Also I would like to say, the only characters I own are, Amie, Senka and Kien. The rest don't belong to me DX.

Ramenbulldog- Yay glad you like it! They are my favorite pairings too!.

Celestialfae- I'm glad I've made you happy by doing a story you've been waiting so long for XD. And yes Senka does have a crush on someone, but I can tell you now it's not Amie!

XxForest-DragonxX- Yay my first reviewer! I'm glad you like it.

Kira-Sakura – Thanks for reviewing XD. And don't feel bad, Kien and Senka would make a good couple.

Well let's get on with the chapter XD

Team Nine

The next morning found the newly formed team nine, waiting for their Jonin instructor at the academy. There were two other teams waiting with them. Amie sighed for the thousandth time.

"This sucks! We've been waiting two hours already! I know Jonin's are usually on missions, but Iruka-Sensei to us, the Jonin instructors weren't going to be given missions because of us Genin!"

Kien looked at her, and saw that everyone in the room, seemed to be silently agreeing with her, even Senka, who was trying to remain unconcerned.

"Did the Hokage say anything to you Amie?"

Amie looked at him and shook her head. The truth was, she hadn't seen the Hokage at all.

Kien sighed quietly and rested his head in his arms. Senka looked at them both briefly before going back to staring at the wall. Fifteen minutes passed, one more team had been taken by their instructor, leaving two teams left.

After the second team was taken, it was only Amie, Kien and Senka left. The Nara boy stood abruptly, causing the other two to look at him.

"Where are you going? We were told to stay here" The kunoichi said sharply.

Senka turned to face her, a cold sneer on his face.

"I'm going home, obviously this instructor isn't going to show up, and I'm not wasting the rest of my day with you two losers"

Amie glared at him. Who the hell did this guy think he was?. She was about to retort, when the door slid open.

A Jonin stepped in and eyed the three of them skeptically, taking them all in.

"You must be Team Nine. Come with me" he walked out, with the three following him.

He took them to some woodland, the faced them, a sound of running water could be heard not too far from where they were. He spoke again.

"So you made it to Genin, congratulations, now tell me why you did it"

Amie looked at Kien unsure of what to say, Senka looked as if he would rather die than share information with them.

"Uh shouldn't you tell us who you are first?"

The Jonin smiled at them and sat down, motioning them to do the same.

"My name is Idate Morino. That's all I'm saying"

Amie looked at him carefully before speaking.

"I'm Amie Uzumaki-Uchiha; I became a Genin so I can make people see me for who I am, not for who my parents are"

Kien spoke next, not as confident as Amie.

"I'm Kien Hatake, and I became a Genin so I can be as good as my dad"

Senka went last speaking in a bored tone, clearly not impressed by this exercise

"I'm Senka Nara; I became a Genin so that someday, I can become the best ninja in the village"

Idate nodded, sensing a hostile attitude between Senka and the other two.

"Okay then now the introductions are done, I want you to do a very simple team building exercise. There's a river not far from here, with stepping stones. I want you to cross the river, using the stones."

The three Genin nodded and walked towards the river, thinking it would be easy. They stopped when the Jonin spoke again.

"But if any of you fall in the river, you have to start again"

Amie bit her lip and looked at the others. Kien shrugged and continued to follow Senka.

Idate didn't know whether to laugh or shout at the sight in front of him. It had been an hour since he had set the exercise for the Genin, and so far Amie had fallen in three times.

Splash!

Make that four times.

Half an hour later, the three stood in front of Idate panting for breath, and in Amie's case, soaking wet.

"Well, I suppose I should tell you how you did"

The three looked at him, knowing they did a terrible job.

"You three would be better off, lying in a ditch somewhere. You call that team work?"

The genin bowed their heads in shame. They were useless. Idate spoke again.

"Amie, you fell in that river four times, dragging Kien with you. Kien you were probably the only one who tired to work as a team, so I commend you on that, but you lack confidence to do anything without Amie. And you Senka think you're so much better than these two that you refused to help them, we call people like you scum"

He sighed and rubbed his temples, clearly irritated.

"Look just meet me back here tomorrow, and think about what I said"

They watched him leave, and then Amie turned to the other two.

"Maybe we should try and work together, it's the only way Idate-Sensei will let us do missions"

Kien nodded in agreement, they both turned to Senka, who sighed.

"Fine but only because I have to, I wouldn't be seen with you otherwise. I'm going home"

They watched as he left in the same direction Idate had gone. Amie looked at Kien, who looked upset.

"You okay?"

He didn't answer, and walked after Senka, leaving Amie standing alone. She rolled her eyes as she began walking, heading home.

Boys!
