AN: Thanks for the reviews on the previous chapters, I've changed Konan, Yahiko and Nagato's age in this to 16 due to Jiraiya wouldnt be able to train them otherwise (Thanks for pointing this out SSJ3 Kyuubi Gohan.)

Chapter 2: Team Seven is born!

Once Konan dragged Naruto to the hokage monument, they went to sit on top of the Yondaime's head, one of Naruto's favorite places. Once they had sat down Naruto asked "Why did you send me all those things? I mean, I'm grateful but it's weird since we had never met right?" Konan just laughed but said "Well, if I'm honest, my sensei did ask to help you since he couldn't but even so, I thought once I could meet you we could be friends especially since we're teammates now!" Naruto was rather surprised someone wanted to be his friend but still nodded his head rapidly. After just sitting on top of the monument for a while, a man wearing the standard Konoha Jounin outfit appeared. He had gravity defying silvery hair and wore a wore. He also had his headband tilted to cover his eye and reading a orange book. He said "Meet on the roof of the academy in five." And then he disappeared again in a swirl of leaves. Konan then put her hand on Naruto's shoulder and was gone in a swirl of paper.

Naruto had closed his eyes during this, and when he opened them he was shocked to see he was at the academy roof so he immediately said to Konan "You have to teach me to do that!" She just nodded. They noticed that it was only them and the man who had come to collect them sitting on the roof and were wondering where their teammates were until they heard "But Sasuke-kun! Why can't you see we're meant to be together forever" This of course was screamed from the pink haired howler monkey of a teammate, Sakura. Sasuke just ignored her and they both sat down on the railings of the roof. The Jounin then decided to close his orange book after giggling perversely and started to speak "Okay, now we're all here lets get started. Introductions, Pinkie first."

Sakura looked confused and said "Can you go first sensei?" The man just sighed but nodded and had the same thought as everyone else 'This is the smartest kunoichi of this year?' He then said "Names Kakashi Hatake, Likes... lots, I also have some dislikes and I do have a dream. Pinkie." Everyone just sweatdropped at the fact they only learned his name. Sakura then said "My name is Sakura Haruno not pinkie! but I like... I mean the boy I like -glances at Sasuke and giggles- I dislike Ino and Naruto. My dream for the future... -looks at Sasuke and giggles again-"
Kakashi then pointed at Sasuke who responded with "Sasuke Uchiha, I like nothing, dislike nearly everything and my dream no my future reality is to kill a certain man then revive my clan." Next he pointed to Konan "My name is Konan, I like origami and flowers, I dislike people who do not take being a ninja seriously and my dream is too someday have a family while still being a successful kunoichi." Naruto then jumped up and said "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, I like Ramen and practicing my jutsu, I dislike arrogant people who think their name gets them whatever they want. My dream is to be the number one Hokage." After this Kakashi went on to explain the test to prove that the team is ready to be genin (Same as canon so I wont explain.) Before dismissing them Konan said "I won't be there for the test tomorrow, I go for a mission later today." Kakashi just nodded and left in a swirl of leaves again. Konan grabbed Narutos shoulder and they were gone in a swirl of paper leaving Sakura to beg for a date.

Konan and Naruto went to Naruto's apartment where she said "I only have 30 minutes to get ready, so I have to go okay? I'm going to go see my old sensei, I'll be gone for 2 months at the most. I left you more scrolls in a package on the table, good luck with the test and eat tomorrow before leaving." Naruto nodded and made himself some instant ramen while Konan left. With ramen in hand Naruto went over to the package on his table and opened it happy to find something different from usual. Usually in the package where lots of books and maybe a bit of a jutsu (with a small amount of sealing equipment sometimes) where he has to wait for another part to have the complete instructions to increase work rate or he figures it out. This time there were three scrolls and some sealing stuff! He was quick to open and noticed two were ninjutsu and one was for sealing (fuinjutsu). The two jutsu were "Kunai shadow clone jutsu" and "Shuriken shadow clone jutsu". He was slightly upset since these ended up being the endings of techniques since he already had some information about them. The fuinjutsu scroll was for designs of weight seals and the scroll said to use them instead of the weights he hid in his orange monstrosity (Since he no longer wears this). He rapidly starting drawing up these weight seals and set them to Level 3 as that was supposed to be equal to his other weights. The seals were set up so he has to flare his chakra twice to turn them off but to turn it on, you flare it once for level one, twice for level two etc. After doing this and reading up on his jutsu he decided to go have a shower before bed.

Naruto arrived to the training ground at 6:55 and saw Sakura and Sasuke who were asking for a date while the others eyebrow twitched. He just decided to read a book about a war since he hadn't finished from the last package he received before yesterday. This carried on until 10:45am where Naruto finally finished his book and decided to do some chakra control exercises he knows, since as he has a large amount of chakra he has to be able to do advanced control exercises a lot. He walked over to the lake area of the training ground and took his jacket off but kept his shirt on. After this he just walked over to a tree, took leaves and then walked onto the water which made Sakura gasp and Sasuke scowl for not knowing it. He then got did pushups with the leaves stuck to the back of his hands with chakra. When Kakashi appeared he pleasantly surprised to see Sasuke and Sakura being so quiet, until he saw them gaping and turned around. He saw Naruto, the supposed dead last, doing rather advanced chakra control exercises! He said "Naruto, how do you know such advanced chakra control exercises?" Naruto just shrugged so Sasuke yelled "Hmph, I can do it if he can." and ran onto the lake... well into the lake. He just scowled and walked over to the three posts in the training ground, followed by everyone else.

Kakashi explained the rules of the test (same as canon) and as soon as he said go all three jumped away to separate spots. He could easily sense Sakura, Sasuke but Naruto was slightly harder. He could still sense him but not exactly. He just stood there with his book waiting for a attack. He didn't have to wait long as Sasuke charged out doing some hand signs, blew in some air and yelled "Fire style: Fireball jutsu!" Kakashi was surprised he could do that, but still used the replacement technique with a log. Soon after this they engaged in a taijutsu match. Sasuke started off by running in with a right hook which Kakashi deflected with his left forearm which led to Sasuke attempting a kick with his left leg which Kakashi caught and then he used it to throw Sasuke into the lake. Next, a kunai flew towards Kakashi, he just stepped out of the way of it and let it pierce the ground. Naruto then jumped out of his hiding spot since it was useless as he had been discovered. As soon as he was out in the open, he drew two more kunai and threw them at Kakashi, after throwing them he went through some hand signs and said "Kunai shadow clone jutsu" which turned the two kunai into 20. Kakashi pulled his own kunai out and started deflected them away. As he did this Naruto charged towards him and made it appear he was to throw a punch when he suddenly slid to knees and went through Kakashi's legs. As he did he reached for the bells but Kakashi managed to tilt out the way. Then the alarm went off to signify the end of the test.

Kakashi just chuckled and said "Well, you failed. Have fun in the academy, or maybe... hmm never mind that, have fun never being ninja." As he said this he heard a small jingle and turned to towards Naruto where he saw the two bells! He couldn't believe a genin beat him and he didnt even know how. He then said "How? Although no matter how I'm impressed with you Naruto. Sasuke, you were good but predictable, Sakura you did nothing at all. But seriously Naruto, how did you manage that?" Naruto just chuckled and said "Well you know that first kunai I threw?" Kakashi nodded. "Well, it was a shadow clone transformed as a kunai. I lured you towards it and grabbed them when you tilted away from my grab. Do we pass?" Kakashi just stood there dumbfounded until Sakura hit Naruto in the end and screeched "You cheated! Transformation jutsu doesn't change you physically!" Naruto looked "It doesn't? Mine does!" Kakashi decided to interrupt them and said "Now, Naruto, you have two bells, who gets them?" Naruto just threw one at each of the others and said "I can train alone if necessary, these two look too need a Jounin sensei more than me." Kakashi was shocked. Naruto gave up his chance for his comrades even though they hate him. He eye-smiled and said "You all pass. Its about teamwork, be here same time tomorrow for training and missions." They all nodded and went their own ways. Naruto decided to go stay and practice some other jutsu he knows.

Naruto was standing in the training ground with his eyes closed when they suddenly flashed open and he went through some hand signs and used "Fire style: Fire bullets Jutsu" and shot out 3 fireballs, one towards each training post. He then used "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough" which sent a large and strong gust that way. He continued practicing jutsu for the next hour before decided to continue his chakra control exercises from this morning, He learnt how important good chakra control is so he can "do more awesome jutsu". After another hour of that he went to Ichiraku Ramen where he saw Iruka sitting there. He ran over and took the seat next to Iruka and started to talk to him "Iruka-sensei! I passed my test!" Iruka smiled and congratulated him. After talking to Iruka for a while, Naruto decided to go home. When he got home he decided he would read some more on sealing. He's hoping to find a seal that will allow to cast genjutsu, even if only basic ones he wants to have a backup. After having read for a while he went to sleep.

The next month by a quickly with nothing interesting happening, the team hasn't really learnt anything new except teamwork for the moment. And they've been a lot of D rank 'missions' which involved things like catching a cat and painting fences. As they were about to get another D rank Naruto snapped and said "Jiji! We need a real mission!" Iruka who was also there immediately went into 'lecture mode' while Sakura hit him and screamed "Be respectful Naruto-baka!" The hokage frowned and said "He was being respectful in his own way. Anyway, call in Tazuna! C rank mission for team his caused Naruto to cheer, Sasuke to smirk and Sakura looked nervous.
