Ch.3- Kyna's Teammates: Squad 11

It was two days after the Genin exam, and was the day of the Genin's orientation at the Academy. Kyna got out of bed and changed. She was about to walk out the door and stopped quickly going back to her nightstand and grabbing her head band. She putted it on her head and ran out the door. She ran down the streets right to the academy. She walked into the classroom and saw Naruto talking to Shikamaru.

The Nara boy had annoyed look on his face, while the whiskered boy was grinning. He must be telling lazy boy that they would be training together. The Nara went back to his seat. Kyna looked at the back of the classroom, in the last seat on the left, she saw Hinata staring at Naruto and smiling, a small blush on her cheeks.

She smiled to herself; she could tell the Hyuuga was happy the blond had passed. She knew of the girl's crush ever since day one and just wished just was a little bolder and tell Naruto how she feels. Just then, two girls burst into the room both saying, "I'M FIRST!" The Izu girl turned to the girls and sighed. One was the flower girl, Ino, the other, was the only living pink thing in Konoha, Sakura.

She shook her head. Those two were the most annoying out of Sasuke's fan girls.

Sakura headed over to where Naruto was sitting. He looked excited about his crush coming over to him. But what he didn't know was that she was heading toward Sasuke, who was next to the Uzumaki. The boy stood up and smiled at the pink girl. "Morning—"

"Move it!" said an annoyed Sakura. She pushed the boy out of the way, to talk to Sasuke.

Kyna winced when her friend hit the ground. She looked up back at the Haruno, glaring slightly. 'How can Naruto like this girl?' she thought.

Sakura didn't notice him falling and blushed at the Uchiha. "Uh… good morning Sasuke. Mind if I sit next to you?"

Ino fuming, walked pass Kyna. She grabbed Sakura's arm. "Back off forehead! I'm sitting next to Sasuke."

The 'forehead' girl glared at the flower girl. "I was here first."

Ino glared back. "I walked into the class room before you did, everybody saw it." Other girls appeared behind the two and started arguing. They all wanted to be next to the Uchiha. The Izu girl looked at Sasuke. Why did they even bother? He didn't seem interested at all.

Naruto growled. He jumped and landed on Sasuke's desk. He squatted down and looked the boy in the face. Sasuke turned his attention to the whiskered boy. They glared at each other. Kyna sighed. They have been rivals for years. The fan club glared at the blond boy and started yelling at him.

Suddenly a boy, sitting in front of the Uchiha's desk, accidentally pushed Naruto forward. Before he knew it, his lips were on Sasuke's. The Izu girl felt a blush on her cheeks. The two boys paled. They pulled apart, gaging. Just then the girl felt danger. She looked over at the group of girls. They were glaring daggers at the blond. Sakura spoke up. "Naruto… you are so dead!" She started walking up to the boy.

Kyna stepped between the pink girl and her friend. She held up her hands. "Sakura, it was an accident. He didn't mean it."

The Haruno ignored her and cracked her knuckles. Naruto started shaking like a leaf. "Kyna?"

She didn't look back at him. "Yeah?"

"If I die, I want you to have all my ramen coupons." said the frightened boy.

Lady Luck was on their side that day. Iruka entered the room and stood in front of the class. "Alright, everyone to your seats." he said. The fan girls reluctantly went to their seats, glaring at the Uzumaki. Sakura sat next to Sasuke. Naruto got off the desk and took the seat next to the girl. Kyna went to the back of the classroom next to Hinata.

The teacher held up papers and spoke. "Now that all of you are Genin, you will all be put into three-man squads. Each squad will be led by an elite ninja, a Jonin." He turned his attention to his papers. "I will now announce the squads." He started reading names off. "Squad 1… Squad 2…"

Kyna didn't listen to the names read off, she was lost in thought. 'A three man squad… I wonder who I'll be with…' She started thinking of possibilities. She could end up with anyone. She finally decided that she would want to end up with Naruto and Hinata. She would have been fine with anyone, but those two were the best options.

The girl snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a certain name. "…Squad 7: Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno…" Naruto jumped up from his seat and yelled, "Yeah!" Sakura hit her head on the desk, clearly not happy. Iruka read the last name. "…and Sasuke Uchiha." Sakura stood and yelled, "YES!!!" Naruto sat back down and hit his head on the desk. Sasuke just sat there.

The Izu girl sighed. 'Guess that means I won't be with Naruto… But I still have a chance to be on Hinata's team.'

"Squad 8: Hinata Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame." said the teacher. Kyna looked over at Hinata. The Hyuuga was disappointed on not being with Naruto. She looked down at Kiba. The boy was smirking. She then turned to where Shino sat. He merely adjusted his glasses.

Kyna looked down at Iruka. '…Maybe Shikamaru?'

"Squad 10: Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akamichi." Ino hit her head on the desk. Shikamaru just smirked at the girl; he knew she didn't want to be on his squad. Choji smiled and ate some chips, he was happy to be partnered with his friend.

The golden-eyed girl swore under her breath. 'Who am I going to be with then!?' she mentally screamed.

The girl stared up in surprise at the names read along with hers. "Now for Squad 11: Kyna Izu, Lynn Houka, and Ryu Takeda."

One word went through the girl's mind. '…what?'

Lynn Houka: The girl with the second best grades in class. She had moved to Konoha 1 week ago from a distant village. She was a very cheerful girl, always seen smiling. Even though she has been in the Leaf Village for a week, Kyna doesn't know much about her.

Ryu Takeda: A boy who was best in taijutsu. Once Kiba had challenged him to a fight and was defeated. His older brother was a part of the ANBU. He and Kyna have not spoken to each other much, so she didn't know that much about him either.

Suddenly Naruto jumped to his feet. He pointed angrily at Sasuke. "Why do I have to be with him!?"

Iruka looked up at the boy and crossed his arms. "Sasuke had best grades in class, while you had the worst. We put the best student, with the worst student."

The students started laughing. Naruto growled. Sasuke turned to the boy and said. "Whatever, Just don't get in my way loser."

The blonde's eye twitched. He glared at the Uchiha. "What did you say!?"

Sakura glared up at the Uzumaki. "Sit down Naruto!"

Iruka cleared his throat. "After lunch you will meet your new teachers. Until then, class dismissed."

Kyna had grabbed her boxed lunch and went outside. She walked over to a tree and sat in its shade. She seated her lunch on the ground and started thinking. Ryu, he didn't talk much and always studied. He seemed like Sakura in some ways, except the annoying part. Lynn was very cheerful and really smart. What she was wondering… is why she was put with them of all people?

That thought was interrupted by a voice. "Hi!" the person chirped.

The Izu girl jumped slightly. She looked up and saw her female teammate. Lynn grinned at the girl. "How are you?" The girl had dark blonde hair and brown eyes. She wore a sleeveless yellow shirt, black shorts with a brown skirt on top and brown wristbands. She took a seat next to the blue-haired girl sitting on the right of her.

The grin never left her face. Kyna stared at the girl for a moment, then replied. "I'm fine."

Lynn leaned closer to the Izu and sniffed her hair. "You smell nice!"

"Uh… thanks?"

Kyna heard footsteps approaching them. She looked up and saw her second teammate, Ryu. He had light brown hair, light blue eyes. He wore a tan shirt under a dark brown vest, black fingerless gloves and blue pants. He had a blank expression and looked back and forth between the two. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "So I'm stuck with the dead-last's friend and Miss Sunshine?"

The blue-haired girl glared slightly at him. He sighed again. He walked over and sat next to Lynn. He leaned his head against the tree. He smiled slightly. "This is gonna be interesting."

Lynn looked back and forth between the two. She smiled. Suddenly she grabbed the two in headlocks. She squeezed them close to her. "This is gonna be awesome! We can eat together, watch movies together, do missions together, go shopping together…"

Kyna putted a hand on the girl's arm. "Lynn… can't… breathe…"

***

Squad 7 and 11 sat in the classroom waiting for their teachers. Everyone else had gotten theirs and left. Sasuke was sitting quietly, Ryu was reading a book, Lynn was taking a nap, Sakura was glaring at Naruto, Naruto was looking out the doorway looking for his teacher and Kyna was tapping her finger on her desk. The Izu girl sighed. She looked over to the blond boy. "Do you see anyone yet?" she asked.

"Nope," came the reply.

The Uzumaki took his head out of the hallway and growled. He crossed his arms. "Where the hell are they? What's taking them so long?"

Ryu, not looking up from his book, said, "Just be patient they'll be here."

Naruto smiled evilly. He grabbed a chair and putted it next to the door. He grabbed an eraser got on the chair and putted it in the door. Sakura asked annoyed, "What are you doing?"

The boy jumped down from the chair and grinned. "When one of them come in, they'll be hit by the eraser. They deserve if for being late."

Sasuke shook his head. "They're elite Jonin, they won't fall for a childish prank."

Sakura nodded. "That's right."

Kyna shrugged. "You never know, this would be pretty unexpected."

Before anyone else could speak, a hand was placed on the door. The person opened the door, causing the eraser to fall and hit the person on the head. It was a man. He had silver spiked hair and wore a mask. His headband covered his left eye. Naruto pointed and laughed at him. "I got him, he fell for it!"

The blue-haired girl nodded. "Nice shot."

The silver-haired Jonin bent down and picked up the eraser. He looked at it then at the Genin. "My first impression of you guys… you're a bunch of idiots."

A vain popped onto everyone's head, except Lynn since she was still asleep.

Suddenly a figure broke through the window and landed in front of the Genin. It was a woman with purple hair, a fishnet shirt under a tan coat. She grinned and made the 'peace' sign. "Yo! I'm Anko Mitarashi and I'll be your teacher!"

An eraser collided with her head. As it fell to the ground she stood still. She looked down at the eraser. She looked back up at the man. He smiled under his mask. "What took you so long?" he asked.

Anko huffed. "You're one to talk, you just got here too."

"Yes, but I arrived before you so I am not as late as you."

"Only by a few seconds!"

"More like minutes."

"Hey, hey! Who's my teacher, who?" asked Naruto.

The two Jonin turned to the blond. The silver-haired Jonin sighed. "That would be me. I am in charge of team 7."

Anko smiled. She pointed to team 11. "So that means that I have, uh…" She scratched the back of her head. "What are your names?"

The male Jonin sweat dropped. He sighed again. "Since she doesn't know any of you, how about we introduce ourselves?"

Sakura raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Tell us about your likes, dislikes, dreams for the future. Things like that."

Ryu, putting his book down, looked up at the Jonin and ask, "Why don't you two go first?"

The silver-haired ninja pointed to himself. "I'm Kakashi Hatake. What I like and don't like… I don't feel like sharing. My dreams… never thought about it." He looked in the purple-haired ninja's direction. "Why don't you go next?"

Anko grinned. "I'm Anko Mitarashi as you all know. I like dango and scaring little kids. I hate annoying little punks. My dream for the future…" She glared at Kakashi. "To be a better teacher than Kakashi."

"Unfortunately that's all it'll ever be." He muttered. Anko felt a vain on her head throb. He ignored it and turned his attention to Naruto. "You next."

The blonde boy grinned. "Believe it! I'm Naruto Uzumaki! I like instant ramen in a cup, and I love the ramen at Ichiraku's, I also like hanging out and training with Kyna. I don't like that I have to wait three minutes for the ramen to cook. And my future dream…" He pointed to his headband. "To be the greatest Hokage! Then the whole village will respect me."

'He turned out interesting…' Kakashi looked over to the pink haired girl. "Next."

Sakura smiled. "I'm Sakura Haruno. I like, or should I say who I like…" she blushed and looked at Sasuke. "My dream for the future…" she squealed. Kyna rolled her eyes. The Haruno's face turned to an annoyed one. "What I dislike is Naruto!" The fox boy started crying anime tears.

'Girls her age think only about boys.' thought Kakashi. The Hatake motioned toward Sasuke. "And last you."

The Uchiha started, "I'm Sasuke Uchiha. I don't like a lot of things and I hate most things." His expression darkened. "My… dream as you put it, is to kill a certain man and restore my clan."

Everyone stared at him. Naruto gulped. He hoped it wasn't him he was talking about. Sakura blushed. She thought he was hot. Kakashi sighed. He had a feeling that the boy would try and seek revenge. Kyna turned her attention to the floor. She started remembering the day after his clan was killed. She remembered his anger, his hate… his tears. She closed her eyes. How she wished that event never happened.

Anko pointed to the Izu. "You go next, blueberry head."

Kyna glared at her teacher. She huffed. "I'm Kyna Izu. I like ramen, training with Naruto, and like learning new jutsu. I dislike people who treat others like dirt. My dream for the future…" she grinned. "Make an awesome bowl of ramen! So awesome that they will serve it at Ichiraku's!"

Naruto nodded liking the sound of that. Kakashi and Anko sweat dropped. She was like the Uzumaki. Ryu sighed. He had a ramen crazed girl for a teammate. Sasuke and Sakura shook their heads. They should have expected that. Lynn… slept.

Ryu cleared his throat. "I'll go next." He crossed his arms. "I'm Ryu Takeda. I like reading and training. I dislike people who don't follow orders. My dream is to become an ANBU black op."

'This kid is pretty serious…' thought Anko.

The purple-haired Jonin turned to Lynn. "And finally yo…" Her sentence stopped. She stared at the girl. She got closer to her and poked the girl. "Hey…" The girl groaned. Anko sighed. She grabbed and shook the girl. "Hey!" she said louder. The Houka groaned again and grabbed Ryu's arm. She snuggled into it.

"Five more minutes…" she murmured.

The Takeda had a slight blush. He pushed her head away from him. "Get off Lynn…"

The girl finally woke up. She let go off her teammate and sat up straight. She rubbed her eyes. "What's going on?"

Kakashi spoke. "Now that you're awake, you can introduce yourself."

The tired girl looked at him confused. She turned to Kyna for an explanation. "Tell us about your likes and dislikes and dreams for the future." The Izu explained.

Lynn was wide awake now. She beamed at her teammate. "Why didn't you say so?" She turned to the two Jonin. "I'm Lynn Houka! I like candy, cats, dogs, lemonade, grasshoppers, clouds, birds, ants, sand, the colors yellow, brown, blue, green, red—"

Anko placed a hand on the girl's mouth. "Ok, we get it. You like every little thing in the world." She removed her hand. That was a big mistake.

"That's not true, I don't like moths, broccoli, carrots, chicken, that swirly looking stuff they put in ramen…"

"GET ON WITH IT!!!" yelled everyone.

The blond girl quieted down. "My dream is to become a great kunoichi." She whispered.

Kakashi cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention. "Now that that's out of the way, let's get down to business." He crossed his arms. "Before any of you go on a mission, there is something you must do first."

Naruto asked excitedly, "What, What!? What do we have to do?"

The teacher was silent for a moment. "… A survival exercise."

The students stared surprised at him. Ryu spoke up. "Survival exercise? I thought we were done with that."

Anko spoke. "This is a different kind of exercise. You have to go against your teachers."

Sakura raised an eyebrow. "But why?"

Kakashi laughed evily. Anko smirked. Kyna asked, "What's so funny?"

The Hatake smiled under his mask. "If I tell you, you won't like it."

Lynn tilted her head to the side. "What? What is it?"

The silver-haired Jonin gave them an evil look. "Out of the 28 graduates, only twelve will actually become Genin. The rest will be weeded out. And the chance of you failing is at least 66%."

There was silence for a moment. Naruto and Kyna jumped out of their seats. "WHAT!?" they yelled.

Kakashi shrugged. "Told ya, you wouldn't like it."

"Then what was the point of graduating!?" exclaimed the Izu.

Anko chuckled. "That was to see who had a chance to be Genin."

The two Jonin started head for the door. While walking the Hatake said, "You have to show your skills at the training grounds tomorrow. Bring all your ninja tools." He stopped in the doorway. "Oh and don't eat any breakfast…" He looked over his shoulder at the students. "You might throw up. Later." With that He and Anko left the Genin alone in the classroom.

The Genin were left to their own thoughts. Naruto growled. There was no way he was gonna be weeded out. Kyna punched her desk. She, had trained night and day to become a Genin, she was not going to fail. Sasuke clenched his fists. He was not going back to the Academy. Ryu tapped his book. If he failed, he could lose his chance to become an ANBU. Sakura trembled slightly. If she failed she would be separated from Sasuke. Lynn just smiled. This was gonna be so much fun!
