I do not own Naruto in any way, shape, or form. Thank you for your time.
I decided to skip the introduction of Konohamaru and anything that has anything to do with him at the moment, so here we go. In this story I've changed a few things about at least three characters, mainly Naruto, Hinata, and Sakura. In time everything will mesh, as soon as I work out some kinks…
Recap
"Th-Thanks… sensei. Uuum… Is there any way that instead of you just giving it to me… I can earn it?"
"You don't have to, the jutsu you just used was great and plus you passed the written portion."
"That's great and all but is there any chance that I can do the taijutsu thing?"
"You want to give that a try? Well, you don't have to, but… sure, you got it!"
Why Can't We All Just Get Along?!
Naruto woke up but was still drowsy. He realized that he didn't have to go to class since he graduated, so he laid down to go back to sleep. Just then he realized that even though he did graduate for some reason he was still to go to the academy.
Annoyed he got up from bed, for the last time, and made his way down to the kitchen, got himself something to eat, and then got ready for the day.
He strolled into the designated classroom and sat down. There he sat, chuckling to himself waiting for something interesting to happen. And happen it did…
In came two girls through the door arguing about God knows what. Naruto quickly noticed the girl with the red dress and pink hair. He had somewhat of an… interest in her: Sakura Haruno of the Haruno clan, a tribe of Amazonian shinobi. The other girl, which he didn't really care for, was Ino Yamanaka. She had on a purple halter top and skirt with bandages from under her top down to her knees.
A/N: Sakura is from a tribe of Amazons, one specifically named Haruno. This is only one of many other similar tribes throughout the Narutoverse. The reason I slightly altered her, aside from her monstrous strength, is that she actually reminds me of a character in a movie I once saw. Because of this, she may not be the exact Sakura you know but not greatly affected…
Sakura, Ino, and a bunch of other girls advanced towards where Naruto was sitting. He didn't know why all these girls were coming his way but didn't really care because Sakura was among them.
They all stopped in front of Naruto and simultaneously told him to move. He questioned this as they jerked him from his seat and tossed him aside. He landed on his head wondering why this had happened. He then got an answer that he didn't like…
All the girls were now arguing and fighting amongst themselves for the seat next to… Sasuke Uchiha – the most popular guy of Naruto's class who actually has his own fan club of girls. "Always acting cool… He's so annoying."
The girls continued and it seemed like their squabble was about to come to blows. Naruto immediately sprang up from the ground and onto the desk in front of Sasuke. He squatted and investigated the Uchiha, "What's so great about this guy exactly?" he asked no one in particular.
The warring girls stopped and began to stare holes through Naruto's body, "NARUTOOO!!!" the girls screeched as Naruto continued to annoy their "Uchiha prince".
"Is it his eyes… no, there as black as… black. Is it his smile… it can't be because he never smiles. Is it his clothes…?" Sasuke wore a blue shirt with his clan's emblem, a red and white fan, on the back of it, white and blue forearm length wrist bands, and white shorts.
"Is it his attitude… shouldn't be because if it's that then these girls have some big problems. What kind of idiot would like a guy that didn't show any signs of caring about anything or anyone?"
"Naaa-ruu-tooo!" Sakura spoke up, "Get away from Sasuke, you're annoying him."
"Believe me, I'd love to, but I'm curious to find out what it is that he has that cause you girls to swoon and fight over him. He isn't worth it if you ask me…"
"What was that you…?" Sasuke responded.
Naruto quickly turned around only to meet Sasuke in a lip lock.
Everyone, mainly Sasuke's fan girls, were in shock at what had transpired. And almost as quickly as it began, it ended. Not soon enough for Naruto and Sasuke who wish that it hadn't happened at all.
Naruto thought that he was going to die… and he just might as many, if not all, of the Sasuke fan girls set their sights on Naruto with the objective of termination. Naruto had to think fast or else he would never get the chance to be the great ninja he knew he would become.
"Wa-Wait, wait… it wasn't my fault…!... I'll tell you what, why don't I move to a different spot and give my seat to one of you pretty young ladies…?"
This silenced the girls and all their rage, but Ino spoke up, "How are you gonna give up your seat to all of us?" she inquired reigniting the girls' fiery rage. His desperate attempt to smooth talk his way out of danger didn't work…
"Uhhh…riiight. I know, a few rounds of Rock, Paper, Scissors and the winner gets the seat."
"There's no way that Sakura will win this, the chances are too slim. Heh… after she loses I'll just sit next to her and comfort her. Once she sees what a considerate guy I am, she'll want to be my girlfriend and want to get married, and… and…" he thought while giving a foxy smile.
Unknown to Naruto Sakura had already defeated most of her rivals while he was lost in thought. It was now down to Ino and Sakura for the coveted seat next to Sasuke. As far as they were concerned, winning this match was more important than life itself.
They prepared themselves and got started, "ROCK… PAPER… SCISSORS… AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" they both screamed as the winner was…
Naruto sat next to Sakura and couldn't stop staring at her. Depression set in as the results of the match sunk in. He didn't mind sitting next to Sakura with how she was behaving, but it annoyed him because she was bouncing around with a big smile on her face and love in her eyes as she stared at Sasuke. Who would have thought that she was so good at a random game?
"This SUCKS!" he stated quite loudly.
"So that's Naruto Uzumaki. He's quite the troublemaker isn't he." a mysterious ninja stated coolly while looking in the Hokage's crystal ball.
"Looks like you've got your work cut out for you Kakashi," came the voice of a female ninja.
"Beginning today you are all real ninjas, but you are still only rookies, 'Genin'. The hard part has just started." Iruka stated and continued on, "Today we will be assigning you to three person teams with a Jounin sensei. You are to follow that sensei's instructions as you attempt to complete assignments given to your squad. Do you all understand?"
"Yes, Iruka sensei," the class responded.
"Three person team…? That's just gonna slow me down," thought Sasuke.
"I hope that I end up with Sasuke," Sakura thought as she looked towards Sasuke and blushed.
"As long as I'm on Sakura's team then I could care less about who else is on my team. As long as it's anyone but Sasuke," Naruto thought with a sour look on his face.
"I'd come up big if I was on a team of pretty girls. I'd impress them by protecting them from enemies, it's what I'm good at after all… That would be pretty great!" Kiba thought with a smile on his face. Kiba wore a grey hooded jacket, in which the hood was lined with fur, and pants that stopped a few inches above his ankles.
"I… I hope that I'm on the same team as Naruto…" Hinata thought with a blush on her face.
While all this happened Iruka had already named six other teams and arrived at…
"Team 7… Naruto Uzumaki… Sakura Haruno… and Sasuke Uchiha."
At hearing their names and their teammates' called both Naruto and Sakura cheered or booed respectively.
"Team 8… Hinata Hyuuga… Kiba Inuzuka… Shino Aburame…"
Shino wore a long jacket, brown pants, and extremely dark glasses.
"Team 9…
Team 10… Ino Yamanaka… Shikamaru Nara… Chouji Akimichi…"
Shikamaru wore an open short sleeve shirt with a mesh shirt underneath. His pants were brown and stopped a few inches above his ankles.
Chouji wore a green open short sleeve shirt and a white shirt with his clan's emblem on it underneath. His pants were dark and he had his arms and legs wrapped in bandages.
When done, Iruka could see that some of the students were happy with their new teams, some didn't seem to really care, and some… well…
"Iruka sensei, why do I have to be on the same team with Sasuke?" Naruto asked hoping that maybe there was some sort of mistake.
"Well…" Iruka responded, "Sasuke has always been at the top, while most of the year you've been near the bottom."
Naruto just closed his eyes and pouted signaling that he gave up.
Iruka saw this and continued, "Later this afternoon you'll all get a chance to meet your Jounin sensei, so take a break until then…"
Naruto was now pacing back and forth trying to shake the idea of being on the same team as his eternal rival. He probably wouldn't have cared if Sakura hadn't completely ignored his idea of a team lunch for searching for Sasuke. Finally something came to mind that would make him feel much better. He would make Sasuke look foolish and claim Sakura as his own…
Just then he noticed that there were people heading his way, so he decided that he didn't need anyone else in his business and left as fast as he could.
"Who exactly is it you're looking for?" Kiba asked.
"Huh… Oh, uh… I-I was sure that he was here a minute ago." Hinata said while looking around the area.
"Well… there isn't anyone besides us here at the moment." Shino piped up.
"Thanks for stating the obvious man." Kiba retorted.
…………
"Aw man! This is sooo not fair! Why is it that I end up with you to instead of Sasuke?!"
"Why don't you calm down Ino, there's no point in making such a big fuss now." Shikamaru sleepily stated.
"Hey guys… is that Naruto down there? What's he doin'?" Chouji asked while munching on chips.
Naruto was creeping around on the side of the building headed towards a window that Sasuke just happened to be standing by. Looking at him he looked like he was up to something suspicious. Just then he jumped inside and began attacking Sasuke.
Ino and her teammates were surprised by this as their line of sight was blocked by the panel shutting.
"Don't resist Sasuke you got no chance," Naruto said while trying to get a handle on his victim.
Sasuke managed to throw Naruto off of him only to be surprised and subdued by four others in an instant. There he lay tied and bound only to witness a picture perfect copy of himself. The copy then went out the window and leapt away.
"Whew…! That idiot Naruto. He had me worried for a minute there." Ino sighed in relief at the sight of Sasuke leaving without a scratch on him.
"Man! I feel sorry for the guy. He just can't seem to catch a break." Shikamaru said as he and his teammates began to leave.
"What did you expect? There was no way that Naruto, or anyone for that matter, could take my boy Sasuke…" Ino stated.
After a short moment of struggle, Sasuke slipped his restraints and was off after Naruto to make him pay!
Sakura was sitting on a bench feeling lonely and upset because she couldn't get Sasuke to join her for lunch. Just then someone asked if they could sit next to her. It was Sasuke! And he was asking to sit next to her. She could just die! Sakura then fell into her own fairy-tale world where Sasuke lavished her with attention and love.
"Sakura… Sakura…Hey Sakura are you there?!" Sasuke asked snapping her from her thoughts.
"S-Sasuke… Uh, oh was there something you wanted?"
"Please let it be me!"
"I just wanted to ask you something," he responded, "What do you think of Naruto?"
"Huh?! Oh, uh… he's always getting in the way of my feelings. He knows how I feel but it's like he likes seeing me struggle… He doesn't understand anything about me or even try. He's so Annoying!" she replied. "All I really want is for you to acknowledge me… if only a little… because I like you!" she sincerely stated while leaning in closer to him.
'Sasuke' was surprised to hear this and began to feel like he couldn't control himself. He finally understood why he had developed a crush on her. Unknowingly, he began to lean in closer to her as well…
"The scent goes on this wa… ay," Kiba trailed on as his jaw dropped at the sight before him.
"Na-…Na-Naruto…?" Hinata said in a sad tone.
"WHA-…WHAAAT?! What a sight!" Ino yelled as she and her teammates had just walked up.
Upon hearing Ino's voice Sakura broke the kiss and looked over to see that a crowd had begun to form (well not really a crowd more like 6 people).
She didn't think that her day could get any better. First she kisses Sasuke and now there are other people around that can vouch for it. With this everyone would know that she and Sasuke were together, defeating her eternal love rivals and making them jealous as well.
Just then she noticed that Ino didn't look to be too upset, which was weird. She figured she would be because she wanted Sasuke just as much as anyone else.
She turned around only to see a blushing Naruto with a big smile, wagging his tail.
"Na… Na… Na…," she stuttered.
"Is something wrong Sakura?" he asked, not realizing what had happened.
"NAAARUUTOOO!!!" she finally got out.
"Where?!!" he said trying to keep up the ruse, or just forgot that he was Naruto.
He turned around to look and turned back only to meet a monstrous right hook to the jaw. He was sent flying from the bench and into a tree. Just then Sasuke, the real one, jumped from a nearby tree and began to walk in Sakura's direction.
"Sa-Sasuke… How… How long have you been there?!" Sakura asked.
"Long enough to see you and me, and then you and Naruto kissing," he said sounding a little peeved.
"Sasuke, it's not what it looked like. I thought he was you. I mean…" she trailed off as she began to blush, "NARUTO YOU IDIOT!!! WHAT DID YOU GO AND DO THAT FOR?! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU…!? I LIKE SASUKE NOT YOU!!!" she went on to yell.
Naruto came to his senses and noticed that the transformation had worn off. At hearing Sakura, Naruto felt his heart begin to tear in two. He felt crushed and didn't know what to do.
"What's your deal…? Someone likes you and this is how you treat them. I don't understand…" he said
"YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!! Normally the women of my clan don't care the slightest for males. They've only been seen as worthless and only good for certain things, but over time that kind of thinking has changed, at least a little… I don't take notice of any of the little boys around here like you, but… Sasuke's different. He's cool, smart, and he comes from renowned clan. And those are just a few reasons I like him and not you!!"
He stood up and started to walk away but stopped to say…
"I really liked you ya know. If that's how it's gonna be then fine,… but I won't give up on you, ya got that!? I'll make you see me, so until that time I vow to focus on getting stronger and… becoming Hokage!" he said as he left.
Sasuke began to follow but was stopped by Sakura.
"Who cares about Naruto? He's so weird." she said, "He hasn't exactly had a normal childhood. He lost his parents and expects everyone to feel sorry for him when he doesn't deserve it. That's why he misbehaves; he's a parentless brat…"
She was interrupted by Sasuke who said something about being all alone. He then said that Sakura was wrong about Naruto following it up by calling her annoying and going after Naruto.
Sakura felt low as the others followed behind Sasuke. She mulled over Sasuke's words and the look Hinata gave her. The look seemed to say that Sakura would get hers; it sent chills up and down her spine. Eventually, she decided that it would be best to find Naruto and apologize…
They soon found Naruto fighting with… well Naruto. There were a bunch of Narutos, all shirtless but one, who they seemed to be ganging up on.
Hinata, well all the girls present couldn't help but blush a little. They had never seen guy with a nice physique so close up before, except on television.
He was impressive as he moved, as he sweated, as he took a hell of a beating. Everyone was surprised at what they saw; Naruto was really going at it with no signs of stopping.
Slowly, but surely, one by one Naruto began to defeat each and every clone until there were only two left. They surrounded him so that he could not take out both in one move. Tension was growing thick until one of the clones finally made a move. He charged the real Naruto only to stop in his tracks, but it was too late…
Naruto had made a few hand signs and directed his arms at the attacking clone. It was destroyed in a short flash of light which propelled Naruto at the other clone. He was coming so fast that the clone had no time to react. Naruto destroyed it but continued to soar through the air and crashed, planting his face into a tree.
Everyone quickly ran over to see if he was alright. He was turned over and met with the sight of everyone looking at him in a state of panic and worry. Even Sakura was there and she looked very sad.
"Sakura…?!" he thought before he tried to get up. He rolled over onto his stomach and stood himself up… only to fall back over.
"Kiba, help me carry him back to the academy," Sasuke said.
They dropped Naruto off at the Nurse's Clinic and returned to class. Everyone entered the classroom and took their seats.
In came Iruka with a big grin on his face followed by a few other shinobi…
Iruka walks in with a few new faces...
