AN:/ LOL calm yourselves guys, Sasuke and Sakura will appear...later... it aint a narusaku for nothing XD. Naruto is gonna be a little bit of a jerk, but thats part of the story! As author I do what I want XD. Don't worry he will improve...Over time.
Surprisingly, I have nothing to do, so this story is, you know, updating fast, (wah! I've been neglecting Roommates! JK I'm not, that one is taking a while, because the next chapter is a bit long) Anyways, its funny because every time I put these chapters on the story manager, (via copy-paste) all the scene splitters disappear, some punctuation disappear (is that suppose to happen?) and everything I italicized revert back to normal and the whole thing becomes bold. urg. stupid fanfic strikes again. Yo, keep 'em reviews comin'! Now, back to da story:
-
beep beep beep
Its been a long night for Naruto, evil ladies chasing him, eating a lot of cake, constantly followed by a super pervert (for "research"). Naruto slammed his hand down on the alarm clock that read 7:00. He barely opened his eyes and looked around. He yawned and stretched, sat up, stretched again, only to fall back onto his pillow. He was expecting a yell from his mother, but it wasn't there. Oh that's right, she was on a mission. Ah, the life of a ninja. Naruto proceeded to roll out of bed, hitting the floor.
"Naruto? Is that you?"
Minato opened the door to find Naruto sprawled out on the floor, face first.
"Mmph"
Naruto groaned and lifted his head. Minato helped him up.
"You're gonna meet your sensei today! Come on, get ready, I tried to cook but it didn't work, you're gonna have to eat some cereal. Take some nutrition bars too, you might get a little hungry on the way"
Naruto strolled off to the bathroom and got ready. Minato returned to the dining room to read his newspaper, listening to Naruto run around the house to get ready.
-
Naruto rested his head on the desk and looked around. He was 15 minutes early again. Genin tests were yesterday and Iruka-sensei told the students that they had to come in the day after to get into three-man cells to take the second test. Naruto looked around and saw that a majority of the civilian students were there. He brushed off the observation and looked back at the clouds through the academy window for the last time.
The poofs were heard again and this time Iruka-sensei opened the door first followed by the mass of newly promoted genin.
"Hai, everyone, please sit down. Today we'll divide you into groups and assign sensei's per."
Iruka then started to explain how the three-man cells were important and how they were vital for the mission to be completed for genin. He then congratulated everyone for their promotion and quickly read off each team.
"...Team 7- Mubira Renosuke, Waraikari Rei, and Naiku Jinto"
Iruka paused for a second and realized his mistake. Jinto, who tested before Naruto, had actually failed the test. Iruka had checked off the wrong box, Instead of Namikaze, he checked off Naiku. He coughed and then proceeded to correct his mistakes.
"Actually, there has been a mistake, Naiku Jinto had not passed the test. Namikaze Naruto will be in team 7."
Rei beamed and Renosuke looked at Naruto with a frown. Naruto gave an awkward smile and wave to his two new teammates before zoning out at the windows.
-
Rei, Renosuke, and Naruto were left in the classroom because their sensei was apparently running late. Naruto was reading a book, Rei was braiding her hair, and Renosuke, well, he was fiddling in his seat, shaking his legs, picking at his fingers, looking impatient as ever.
"ARG! When will that stupid sensei come! It's been, like, 45 minutes already!"
Naruto looked up at Renosuke with mild interest at Renosuke's distress and rants.
"Renosuke, I'm sure sensei is just a tad bit late, Iruka said to wait"
At that moment, the door slid open and the Jonin instructor entered. It was none other than Hatake Kakashi. His silver hair slung over his headband that covered one of his eyes, and his mask covering a majority of his face. He caught sight of Naruto and gave a quick nod before looking at the rest of his students. A bright green kid and a purple haired girl plus a little prodigy. His thoughts were interrupted by Renosuke's yell.
"YOU'RE LATE!"
"Patience is virtue, Mubira-san. Kakashi-sensei has his reasons." Naruto said calmly without looking away from his book.
"Who told you to talk, Namikaze!"
"I just made an observation that needed to be addressed, dead-last like you needs to be aware of it."
"Guys! Please, calm down, Kakashi-sensei is here, let's not waste any more time!"
Kakashi sweatdropped. It was just like his old team, Obito like Renosuke, Him like Naruto, and Rin like Rei. If the two teams are alike, they are going to have some major issues with teamwork. Kakashi sighed.
"Okay kids, meet me up at the top of the roof."
Kakashi shunshined and waited a bit. Naruto followed suit and shunshined himself (surprising Kakashi who didn't know genin could shunshin). Rei and Renosuke took the stairs up. When they were all together, Kakashi began.
"Okay, lets start with a little introduction, Your name, your likes and dislikes, your strong point, and you dream or goal. You first Purple"
"Waraikari Rei, I like cooking and healing, I dislike arguments" Her eyes glared at the two boys who quickly looked away from each other and humphed.
"My strong point is my medic jutsus, and my goal is to become the best Medic nin, better than Senju Tsunade"
Just like Rin. Kakashi thought. Then he turned to Renosuke.
"Mubira Renosuke, Reno for short. I like eating and sleeping, I dislike arrogant jerks" Then he glared at Naruto who fervently returned the glare with equal intensity.
"My strongest point is weapons"
"Says the guy that wielded a battleaxe" Naruto scoffed.
"Shut up, asshole! My weapon skills beat yours by 10,000!"
"Oh, really-"
Kakashi coughed, bringing the boys attention back to him.
"Please continue your introduction, Reno"
"Anyways, My dream and goal is to be Hokage!"
"Nuh-uh! I'm gonna be Hokage!"
Reno glared at Naruto who had his arms crossed and was glaring back. The glaring competition continued until Kakashi coughed again. Kakashi looked at Naruto.
"Name is Namikaze Naruto. I love ramen and training, I dislike assholes. My strongest point is Jutsu, and my goal is to be the best Hokage in the history of Konoha."
Naruto stuck his nose up in the air and looked away from Reno who was fuming and holding his fist up. Rei got up and sat between the two after whacking them both on the head to stop their antics. Naruto and Reno cradled their heads which were both sporting a large bump, Naruto had three now. Kakashi sweatdropped again. It was just like his old team, constant bickering between the guys and a neutral medic girl who acted as mediator.
"Tomorrow, we will hold the secondary test to being a genin, I suggest you not eat breakfast unless you want to puke. Meet up at Training grounds 7 at 8, Don't be late! Disperse!"
The whole team stood up and Naruto flashed away, Rei jumped from the roof to the next, and Reno tripped and face planted himself before getting up and jumping to the next roof. Kakashi sweatdropped one last time before he shunshined away. (an:/ hell, i made shunshin a verb lol)
-
(next day 8:00 am)
Naruto leaned against a tree and looked at his surroundings. He was the first at the training grounds. Didn't Sensei say not to be late? Yet not even Sensei was there! Naruto took this time to formulate a strategy based on his surroundings. He sent out a clone to put his seals everywhere and then dispelled the clone. Rei soon showed up energetically waving to Naruto who gave a slight nod of recognition. Reno showed up next challenging Naruto who apathetically flipped him off. This started another glaring contest where both parties grabbed the other at the collar and glared challengingly. Kakashi, who saw what just happened as he walked over, sweatdropped from the umpteenth time. Naruto was just like him, and Reno like Obito. He walked over to the group of genin and began to talk.
"Okay, today we will start the test. Its a basic bell test, I have two bells and you need to get one before 12. If you don't get a bell, you will be tied to a stump and I'll eat your lunch in front of you. And on top of it, if you don't get a bell, you will be sent back to the academy. Any questions?"
The group remained quiet, letting the information sink in. Kakashi motioned the group to the center of the training grounds and then yelled.
"Start!"
All of them flashed away to the trees for cover, well, actually all but Reno.
Naruto flashed to one of the trees and watched Reno fight kakashi.
"I'll fight you one on one! Naruto is too much of a coward to fight you alone, definitely not a trait for a Hokage!"
Naruto mentally face palmed himself. No possible genin could possibly fight one of the elite jounin of this village, let alone an Anbu captain. He had his homework done and found information about the silver haired man. He had his kage bunshin lay out traps and seals. All I gotta do is lure him in now. He thought. Reno was quickly dispatched by the jounin and now Kakashi was looking for is other genin. Kakashi quickly dodged a kunai that flew past his face. He had set off on of Naruto's traps. Naruto grinned and went for the attack.
Douton- Asu Sekijun no jutsu!
Kakashi leapt, barely dodging the spikes that sprouted from the ground. Then he felt his back getting hot.
Katon- Goukakyuu no jutsu!
Naruto grinned. He had Kakashi in the air who couldn't land. The fireball got closer until-Poof! Kakashi had kawarimi as a log which was now scorched. Naruto frowned but quickly dodged a few shuriken coming his way. His eyes narrowed and then he backflipped to evade more projectiles. The projectiles shadow then extended chasing after Naruto. Shadow jutsu? How did Kakashi know a technique from the Nara clan? Then he realized. Genjutsu!
"Kai!"
Naruto barely dodged the punch that was coming to his face. He engaged into a taijutsu match with Kakashi. Naruto kept evading and countering to the best of his abilities. He was at a disadvantage in size. He knew that even with a block, Kakashi's strikes would still prevail. But while he was thinking, he couldn't react to the kick as fast and put up his hands. Kakashi kicked Naruto who was sent flying. Naruto stood back up and got into a stance.
"Shit, I gotta get Rei and Reno"
Kakashi stopped in front of Naruto who quickly flashed away. Naruto ran past the trees to find Rei who was now hiding behind a bush.
"Rei! You gotta help, we need to find Reno!"
Rei nodded and they went to look for Reno who was now head deep into the ground.
"Rei! Help! I'm stuck!"
Reno completely ignored Naruto who got pissed. Rei just shrugged saying how she didn't know any techniques that could get him out of the ground. Naruto walked over and placed two hands on the ground and said.
Douton- Yoyu doshakuzure
The ground became mud and Reno slipped out, his green suit now covered in brown. Reno was annoyed that Naruto knew a jutsu he didn't know.
"Who asked for your help shithead!"
"Do you want me to put you back into the ground? Because I can"
"Try me!"
"Fine! Douton- Shinju Zanshu no-"
"Enough guys! Its 11:30, we only got 30 minutes before the timer goes off!"
Rei whacked the two boys again and they got into a circle. Naruto started first.
"I've tried a jutsu and a taijutsu match with him, I can't land a hit! He even used genjutsu on me! I don't think we can do this alone"
"Ha! You got beaten by Kakashi!"
"Shut it, Reno, at least I wasn't found dug into the ground and needed saving"
"You-"
"Enough you two!"
"Fine, as I was saying, I might have figured out a plan to beat the Jonin. We need a distraction, a stealth, and a backup. Reno, you're loud, so you be distraction. Rei, your chakra control can get you to put up a camouflage technique to sneak up. If you can't get the bells, then I'll come in with this jutsu to knock him out."
"Hey! Who you callin' loud?"
"Why can't you just start off by knocking him out with your jutsu?"
"Because it takes time, and its still experimental"
"Wait, but aren't there only two bells?"
"I know, if we get the bells, I'll give them to you two. I'm only 8 while you two are 11, I can afford to be sent back to academy."
Reno started crying comical tears and grabbed Naruto's hands into his own.
"The ultimate sacrifice, you are so kind!"
Naruto flicked his hands away and punched Reno to the floor.
"Don't touch me, please"
-
Kakashi waited out in the open. He didn't see any of the genin until suddenly, Reno came out. Reno was covered in mud so Kakashi presumed he probably used some water to get out of the jutsu. Reno started to run at Kakashi.
"I thought you learned already, frontal assault won't work"
"That's what you think, baka kakashi!"
Kakashi dodged all of Reno's attacks. But suddenly felt a presence behind him, He turned around to find that Rei was about to reach for the bells. He kicked both genin away, but then heard Rei and Reno yell at the same time.
"Naruto, Now!"
Naruto ran out of the tree line along the river and yelled.
Suiton- Nanatsu Suiko!
Behind Naruto, seven foxes formed from the water in the river and started following suit. The foxes raced towards Kakashi who was surprised but impressed by Naruto's technique. Rei and Reno were thinking along the same lines. But just when all seven foxes were about to attack, four of them dispersed drenching Kakashi in water who then kawarimi away before the remaining three landed on his previous spot also splashing away.
"He wasn't kidding about experimental, huh"
"Shut it, Reno, I made that jutsu from scratch... Dammit, we were so close!"
"What do you mean? We've got time!"
Just then, the bell rung and Rei and Reno slumped their backs in disappointment. Kakashi appeared in front of them looking a bit more dry than before.
"Well, Kakashi-sensei, none of us got the bells. I guess we are all sent back, right?"
"Well, actually, You all pass"
"WHAT? But what about the bells? The lunches? The time?"
Reno started panicking who was being attempted to calm down by Rei. Naruto just flashed next to them, interested in why they passed.
"The test wasn't just to see if you could act like ninjas, but to see if you could act as a team. Remember, Those who break rules are trash, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash. If you can't protect your own teammates, they you can't protect anyone else. Remember your will of fire"
"What is that, anyways?"
"For another time. For now, you can go home, tomorrow meet here at 9 for your first mission."
All three genin left and Kakashi sighed. Their team, was so much alike to his old one, he feared that they will befall the same fate sooner or later.
-
an:/ dun dun dun, ominous ending vs happy funny ending. Yes, I made Naruto's team similar to that of Kakashi's. Hokage competition between Reno and Naruto. Don't worry, Sakura and Sasuke will come in later. Didja like my new jutsu I gave naruto? Har har har.
Anyways: Jutsu translation:
Douton- Asu Sekijun no jutsu- Earth style, earth stalagmite
Katon- Goukakyuu no jutsu- (really? ya don't know this one?) Fire style- great fireball
Douton- Yoyu doshakuzure- Earth style, melting mudslide
Douton- Shinju Zanshu (same technique as kakashi's the dual decapitation tech.)
Suiton- Nanatsu Suiko- seven water foxes
'tis a wrap, see ya!
