Moon of the Leaf
In this story The Leaf 11 and Sasuke (Leaf 12) are all of the same year so there will be 4 graduating teams instead of 3. They will be known as the Rookie 12. Slight AU.
Pairings: NaruHina, SasuSaku, NejiTen, ShikaTema, and ChouIno, as well as OC pairings.
A/N: on a side note, I am a very big follower of the American dub, so I will be using terms and jutsu names in their English dub versions unless it hasn't been translated in the dub or was never translated. If that's the case, I'll use the literal translation of the jutsu. If it's a made up jutsu it will be in English too.
There are things that will not be translated, instead their Japanese names will be used, but I can't tell you what they are because I don't want to spoil future chapters. I will not be using honorifics on people's names.
A/N: thanks to all those that reviewed. Someone, you know who you are, asked me to explain how I would organize the teams. They said by their grades. Well I looked at the teams myself and I found out that I organized 3 of the 4 teams by their grades without knowing it. My original plan was to have the pairings on the same teams (except ShikaTema), even if my story says otherwise (I needed an excuse) and I ended up doing it the other way too. O snap I spoke too much. On to the story.

CHAPTER 3
The room was filled with excitement. The 30 newly appointed genin were sitting in their seats waiting for Iruka to assign them to their teams. As Iruka was giving a speech about why ninja are put into teams, Naruto was thinking about whom he wanted on his team and who he didn't want.
He definitely wanted Hinata on his team. As for the third member, he wanted to have Shikamaru or Lee. He didn't want to be in a team with Sasuke, Neji, or Kiba. Nor did he want to be paired up with any fangirls.
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Iruka who was finally starting to assign teams.
Iruka had already called six teams but had not called Naruto or any of his friends.
"Team 7, Naruto Uzumaki…." Iruka finally said, getting Naruto's attention.
Many of his fangirls around the class were upset because they didn't have the possibility of being on the same team as Naruto, simply because they already had teams. The only exception was Ino Yamanaka, a blonde girl who is the self proclaimed fangirl of Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki and she still hadn't been put into a team meaning she still had a chance with either of the two boys.
Hinata had crossed her fingers under her desk hoping to be on the same team as Naruto. Ironically enough, so was Ino.
"Kiba Inuzuka….." he continued.
"WHAT!!" Kiba screamed from out of nowhere while Naruto lowered his head.
Iruka ignored him and continued.
"And Hinata Hyuga," Iruka finished. (A/N: Predictable huh?)
In her mind, Hinata was ecstatic. She was on the same team as 'her' Naruto. She had an inner fangirl moment. On the outside she was smiling while blushing and looking at Naruto next to her.
Kiba was still mad about being on the same team as Naruto but didn't mind Hinata. He had a crush on her too. Even though she hardly knew him.
Naruto was satisfied. The girl of his dreams was on his team and that made it enough for him to forget about Kiba.
Ino was pissed. But then she remembered that Sasuke still didn't have a team.
"Ok team 8," Iruka finally said.
Everyone who was left paid attention, except Shikamaru who was sleeping.
"Sasuke Uchiha," Iruka began. Ino crossed her fingers, again, while Sakura joined her.
"Rock Lee," Lee was downcast; he didn't want to be with Sasuke.
"And Sakura Haruno," Sasuke twitched when he heard the other two names, while Sakura stood up, looked at Ino and yelled.
"HA! Sasuke's mine Ino-pig!" she exclaimed while getting death glares from the other fangirls, Ino, and Sasuke, but she didn't see him do it.
Lee was even more disappointed because he disliked Sasuke and hardly knew Sakura.
Naruto simply laughed at Sasuke's expense while he felt sorry for Lee.
"Alright settle down," Iruka said trying to regain the class's attention.
"Team 9," Iruka continued to call teams.
"Neji Hyuga, Tenten, and Shino Aburame," he said. Neji didn't mind his team. Tenten smiled and Shino simply sat in his seat motionless.
"And finally, Team 10," Iruka was almost done.
Ino already knew who she would get stuck with once she heard the assignment for Team 9; she was ready to start PMSing about it.
"Shikamaru Nara, Chouji Akimichi, and Ino Yamanaka," he said.
Shikamaru woke up with a scared look on his face, while Chouji dropped the bag of chips he was holding.
"So I'm stuck with the lazy bum and the f-," but she never got to finish as Naruto tossed a paper ball at her, which hit her in the face.
She was speechless as she looked at Naruto who was three rows of seats in front of her.
He was looking at her with a serious look on his face.
"Don't ever say that to Chouji, you'll regret it," Naruto said with a blank look on his face.
Chouji smiled, Lee and Hinata were holding back a laugh, Kiba, Sakura and the rest of the class minus Shikamaru (who was saying Ino was too troublesome), Sasuke, Neji, and Shino were already laughing.
Even Iruka was about to crack.
"Okay class, that's enough," Iruka said finally.
"You have an hour for lunch and after that you must return here to meet your squad leaders. Take that time to get to know your team-mates.
"Hey Hinata, let's go eat at Ichiraku's," Naruto said to the girl sitting next to him. He wanted to go with just her, but Hinata didn't realize that.
She said yes and then turned to where Kiba was and asked him if he wanted to go too.
Kiba agreed and the three walked towards the ramen shop.
While they were there, Naruto decided to start a conversation.
"Who do you think our new sensei will be?" he asked after swallowing some noodles.
Hinata shrugged and Kiba was still swallowing some noodles. His dog Akamaru was just eating some meat out of a bowl on the floor.
"Dunno," Kiba said after he finished swallowing his noodles.
"I hope he's cool," Naruto simply said while looking at the clock on the wall.
It was almost time to meet the squad leaders.
"We gotta go," he said, "or we'll be late."
His teammates simply nodded and he paid for all of them. They didn't eat much.
They walked back to the academy afterwards.
At the academy
It had been three hours since their sensei was supposed to have come picked them up. All the other teams had been picked up and they were the only ones left.
"Where the hell's our sensei?" Naruto thought to himself, annoyed at the fact that their sensei was late. Unbeknownst to him, his team-mates were thinking along the same lines.
Suddenly, Naruto got up from his desk and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going Naruto?" Hinata asked as her crush stood up from his seat.
"To teach our sensei a lesson," Naruto answered without looking back. He had an evil grin on his face.
"Whatever you're gonna do, it ain't gonna work," Kiba said while his dog barked in agreement.
"Who asked you?" Naruto said without sparing Kiba a glance.
When he got to the door, he took a nearby chair and put it by the door. Afterwards, he walked to the chalkboard and he picked up an eraser. He walked back to the door and stood on the chair. He made it so that when you slid the door open, the eraser would fall on whoever had opened it.
"That'll never work," Kiba thought to himself.
Hinata merely shook her head at Naruto when he came back to his seat.
"What?" he said with a sheepish look on his face.
"Quiet, someone's coming," Kiba said all of a sudden. All three of them were now looking at the door.
After five seconds someone slid the door open and the eraser fell on his head. The man had spiky, silver hair, he wore the standard jonin uniform, a mask that covered half of his face, and he had his headband covering his left eye. His head was now covered in chalk dust.
All three genin sweat dropped.
"I can't believe he actually fell for it, is he really a jonin," all three of them thought at the same time.
"I can't believe I fell for that," the man thought.
"My first impression of you three is…." he began as he looked over his new students.
Said students were waiting for him to finish.
"You're all idiots," he said with a deadpan look. Kiba and Naruto fell down anime style while Hinata lowered her head and sighed.
"How come you're so late?!" Naruto said annoyed with his new teacher.
"I was lost on the road of life," the man simply said.
"Liar!" Naruto and Kiba both exclaimed.
"Well, why don't we introduce ourselves? You first dog boy," the man said pointing at Kiba.
Kiba simply stared at him.
"Come on now, quickly, I have something to get back to," the man said starting to sound agitated.
"How about you first sensei?" Naruto said with sarcasm just dripping from the word 'sensei.'
"Oh alright. My name is Kakashi Hatake, I like reading my little book, I dislike not reading it, and my dream is to finish these introductions so I can get back to reading it," he said while taking said book out of his weapons pouch. Kiba and Hinata sweat dropped while Naruto was now angry at the man. He recognized the book as Make Out Paradise (A/N: dub for Icha Icha Paradise), one of the books that Jiraiya writes.
"Perv," Naruto said in a low voice. Nobody seemed to hear him.
"Alright dog boy, you're next," Kakashi said pointing at Kiba, again.
"My name is Kiba Inuzuka, I like walking Akamaru and I like girls," everyone else sweat dropped when he said the last thing, "I dislike food that I can't chew people who don't show their faces," he said this while glaring at Kakashi, "and I don't really have a dream."
"Okay then," Kakashi began, "how about you?" he said while looking at Hinata.
"My name is Hinata Hyuga, I like…," she paused and glanced at Naruto, but he was busy studying Kakashi; however, Kiba had seen it and disliked Naruto even more, "I like learning new things," she continued, "I dislike…well…I don't dislike anything and my dream is to become strong enough to someday lead the Hyuga clan."
"Ok, blondie?" Kakashi now had his attention.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I like…" he closed his eyes and a little blush appeared on his cheeks, only Kakashi noticed, "Ramen and my friends, I dislike you and I dislike people who think they're better than everyone else and-," he was interrupted.
"You damn hypocrite," Kiba said, but he was ignored.
"As I was saying, my dream is to become Hokage someday," Naruto concluded with a grin. Hinata nodded as if agreeing with him and Kiba scoffed.
"That's a hard dream to accomplish," Kakashi remarked.
"I'll definitely become Hokage," Naruto thought to himself.
"Ok that's all I needed to hear," Kakashi said as he walked out the door.
"Oh," he said, sticking his head back into the room, "Meet me at training ground seven tomorrow at five a.m. and don't eat breakfast or you'll puke."
With that he finally walked away.
The three genin looked confused as to why Kakashi had told them not to eat. Why would they puke?
They would have to find out the next day.
Wow 2 updates in one day. That's unexpected. Don't get used to it though.
I hope you liked this chapter. Thanks for reading and please review.
Don't tell me you didn't like the teams because I don't care. Sorry for sounding mean. See ya.
