This story is working out really well. I have gotten a review pointing out a flaw in my story and I wish to thank him/her. Many others have also given me some ideas that I never came up with so I am really thankful. This is the chapter where the Genin teams are made so I hope you will like it. Enjoy.

"Kurama Talking"

"Talking"

'Thinking'

It was Naruto's second day at the academy and he was not looking forward to class. He had gotten up early and decided to train. After two hours of training he thought it was time to go to the academy. Whilst he was getting ready he was talking to Kurama 'I forgot to mention to you I think I found away for you to leave my body and no one will be able to see or hear you apart from me'

"Really how?" asked Kurama with interest.

'We just have to fuse our chakra together and I can change the seal slightly. This can turn you into a spirit manifestation. But it takes a massive amount of chakra that could put me into a coma for a while and Im afraid that I dont have enough right now' replied Naruto.

"Well don't worry about it for now, you just concentrate on becoming a ninja" said Kurama.

'Thanks' Naruto finished getting ready and headed out. He decided to wait for Hinata outside the Hyuuga Compound. She came out not long after he got there. "Hey Hinata"

"Oh hi Naruto" she said as she walked up next to him. They then walked to school together. Once they got there they saw Sasuke walking up to the door. "Hello Sasuke" said Hinata greeting her friend.

"Hey Sasuke" said Naruto.

"Hey" was all Sasuke said. They walked in together and sat down next to the window together. The entire day was the same; Iruka says something and Naruto spaces out. He was thankful that Hinata and Sasuke was there with him otherwise he would have died of boredom. It was now lunchtime; the three friends were sitting on a tree branch so they would hide from the fan-girls. Apparently ever since Naruto used his Chakra Chains a lot of girls, much to Hinata's annoyance, switched from Sasuke to him. "Who wants to go to Ichiraku after class?" asked Naruto to Sasuke and Hinata.

"Alright" said Sasuke.

" I would like to but what if my father finds out?" asked Hinata worried.

"Did something happen that I dont know about?" asked Sasuke.

Hinata stayed quiet so Naruto talked for her, "Hinata's father told Hinata that she can't see us anymore otherwise he'll do something to stop us. He kept saying stuff like Hinata was making the clan look like a fool just by being near me"

"Sounds like a jerk, no offence Hinata"

"Its ok Sasuke...I actually agree" Hinata then looked down, "I just wish there was someway for father to allow you as my friend"

They were quiet for a minute until Naruto got an idea. "I got it! Why dont we just do really well in the Genin exam, that way he can see how strong we are and allow us to be friends. Besides if we do end up as a team, hopefully, we would be together anyway"

"That might not work. Because Im from the Hyuuga clan father is expecting me to be the best out of everyone in the class and because he doesn't really like you and we do end up a team, he might try go to the Hokage to change it" replied Hinata to Naruto's idea.

"That will not happen because Im a friend to the Hokage. Why dont we go train after ramen?"

"Alright" said Sasuke.

"Yes, we'll go after ramen Naruto"

"Good, now let's go the bell just went" and they went back to, as Naruto would describe class, hell.

"That was even longer than yesterday!" shouted Naruto. He was very board and was very tempted to copy Shikamaru and just sleep. But Iruka caught him before he fell into his slumber. Sakura had actually avoided Naruto that entire day because of the "demonstration" and Hinata thinks she could be avoiding her, but she can't tell. They were now walking to Ichiraku and Naruto was dragging Hinata by the hand, again, to make them go faster. They reached it but saw two girls wait already there. It was Sakura and Ino. Sasuke looked like he was about to panic when he saw them and Hinata tried to stop Naruto, who apparently didn't notice. It was too late however because as Sasuke was about to run into an alley, the girls turned and saw him.

"Sasuke!" shouted both Sakura and Ino. They ran towards him pushing each other. Everyone sweat dropped at the scene. "Sasuke I was hoping you could join me for some ramen" said Ino.

"Sasuke join me for some ramen instead Ino-pig here" said Sakura.

"What did you say forehead?" asked Ino.

"You heard" replied Sakura. When they weren't paying attention, the three friends walked past them and entered the stand. They ordered and ate as quickly as possible so they can get away.

They took five minutes to eat and finish. Sakura and Ino were still arguing to notice them leave. They were now heading towards the Namikaze Compound. "Time to train. So who's sparring today?" asked Naruto.

"I don't mind" said Sasuke with a bored expression.

"Well how about you Hinata, do you want to spar?"

"I don't know" said Hinata. She was nervous that if she were to fight, she would mess up. "I don't think I'll be good enough to fight either of you"

"Don't worry about it, that's why we train. So we can get stronger" said Naruto.

"I'll take you on Hinata. I have never gone up against a Hyuuga before" said Sasuke.

"Well…ok" she said. They reached the training room and Naruto went straight for the announcement box. Both Sasuke and Hinata took opposite side of the room and dropped into their fighting stances. Hinata took her families Taijutsu stance, which was the Gentle Fist. Sasuke took his families stance, which is called, Intercepting Fist.

"So Hinata how are we going to fight?" asked Sasuke.

"Can we just use Taijutsu, I don't know any Ninjutsu's or Genjutsu's" said Hinata.

"Alright then"

"Lets go!" shouted Naruto starting the fight, Hinata instantly activated her Byakugan.

Both opponents charged at each other. Sasuke threw a punch aiming for her head. Hinata blocked it and jabbed part of his arm, causing it to go numb and useless. Sasuke dropped and used a sweep kick to knock Hinata down, she fell to the ground barely enough time to roll away from Sasuke's axe kick.

"Your quicker than you look" said Sasuke. He managed to get the numbness to wear off in his arm.

"Thank you" replied Hinata as she got up. Sasuke ran at her and kicked her under her chin sending her flying. Sasuke jumped and landed an axe kick on her stomach making her crash to the ground.

"Hinata are you alright?" asked Sasuke concerned. He didn't want to hurt her anymore than he had to.

"Yeah Im fine" she said as she struggled to get up. There was a yellow flash next to her and Naruto appeared, Hinata guessed he used the Flying Thunder God to help her.

"Match over. You're too injured to continue" said Naruto.

"Im sorry" said Hinata. She looked to the ground feeling like she let everyone down. "Im sorry for being so weak" tears were now trailing down her cheeks and falling to the floor.

"Hinata" said Naruto. He brought her into a warming embrace. She was startled at first but returned it and cried into his shoulder. "You are not weak. I bet that no one else in our class could have lasted as long as you have, right Sasuke?"

"He's right. No one apart from you and Naruto could put up a challenge" after hearing this Hinata calmed down and reluctantly left Naruto's embrace.

"Thank you, both of you. I promise that I will become stronger so I wont be a burden to anyone anymore" she said with a smile.

Naruto chuckled which confused Hinata, "Hinata you were never a burden and you are already strong. Its just a case of finding your strength"

After Hinata and Sasuke were cleaned up they left with Sasuke heading towards his home and Naruto walking Hinata to the Hyuuga Compound. Just a few feet away there was a boy looking very annoyed when he looked at Hinata. He had long hair and had Hyuuga eyes, but his were very cold. He wore a forehead protector, khaki shirt, dark brown shorts, blue ninja sandels, and bandages on his right arm and leg. Hinata hesitantly walked up to him and bowed slightly saying "Hello Neji" she turned back to Naruto and introduced Neji as he cousin.

"Hi Im-" Naruto got interrupted by Neji.

"I know very well who you are Naruto Namikaze. I also know that Hiashi doesn't want either of you near each other. So leave now" he turned to Hinata. Naruto could easily see rage boiling in his eyes, which is ironic for such a cold glare. "Hiashi wishes to speak with you"

Hinata nodded, she turned to Naruto, "Goodbye"

"See you tomorrow" said Naruto giving a small wave to Hinata as she walked into her Compound.

Naruto turned around to leave but was stopped by Neji saying, "I can't believe a weakling like you is a Namikaze"

"And why is that hard to believe?" asked Naruto trying to contain his anger.

Neji smirked, "It is hard to believe since you are as weak as Hinata is" Naruto clenched his fist trying very hard not to hit him. "You are a destined failure and no matter what you can't change destiny" he said as he turned his back on Naruto.

"You may believe in that Hinata is weak, but she is stronger than you know"

"How is she stronger than I know?" asked Neji.

"Unlike you she has friends and we are the ones that give her her true strength" and with that Naruto walked away back to his home.

Neji stayed where he was whilst thinking 'true strength?' and he walked back into the Hyuuga Compound.

Hinata walked into her fathers study. She could tell he wanted to talk to her about Naruto. "You wished to see me father?" she asked cautiously.

"Yes, come in" he replied. Hinata did as she was told and sat on a seat across from Hiashi's desk. "It has come to my knowledge that you are still friends with the Namikaze and the Uchiha"

"Yes it is true" said Hinata. She didn't see the point in lying to her father.

"You have disobeyed me again, what do you say to this?" he asked. He was talking with disgust in his voice.

"I told you father, Naruto and Sasuke are my friends and I will continue to see them no matter what you say" she said with as much confidence as she could muster.

On the outside Hiashi was angry that his daughter was not obeying him but on the inside he felt a little proud that she is standing up for what she believes in. But he ignored it and continued talking, "Very well then. I have no choice"

"What are you going to do?" she asked.

"I am making sure you will never see your "friends" again" he said. He then walked past her but stopped at the door. "You have dishonoured this clan for the last time" and he left.

Hinata had no idea what to do, she couldn't go after her father but she didn't know where he was going either. She got up from the seat and released her breath she didn't know she was holding. She exited her room and saw her sister Hanabi at the door smirking. She has dark brown hair and cold Hyuuga eyes. She wears a sleeveless blue v-neck shirt with a mesh top underneath aswell as wearing blue shorts and sandels. "Well well I think you have proven yourself of being even more unworthy of being heiress. Keep this up and I'll be heiress"

Hinata tried to ignore her sister as she walked to her bedroom. 'Naruto, I hope you will be safe'

Naruto just entered his home when he suddenly sneezed. "I wonder who's talking about me now"

The Hokage was in the middle of "the dreadful" paperwork when someone knocked on his door. "Come in" he said and it was Hiashi Hyuuga that entered. "Hiashi, what brings you here?"

"I wish for you to remove the Namikaze from my daughters class" Sarutobi was a little taken back by this.

"Why would I do this? Naruto is currently working very well in that class" he said.

"He is a distraction. He is constantly near my daughter along with the Uchiha, which is distracting her. If you cannot take him out of the class then I wish to remove Hinata"

Sarutobi glared at the man. 'No matter what he is never pleased' he turned to his intercom and said "Would you please send for Iruka. I wish to speak with him" The Hokage then turned back to Hiashi.

"Why are you asking him here?"

"He is coming because he is the children's teacher. If he say's that Hinata is doing well then she stay's and so does Naruto. If he say's she is too distracted then I will remove her, deal?" he asked. Hiashi nodded.

About 10 minutes later Iruka entered asking "You wished to see me Lord Hokage?"

"Yes Iruka, please come in" Iruka did as asked then he noticed the Hyuuga Head and bowed.

"Lord Hiashi, greetings" Hiashi only returned a nod.

"Now Iruka, tell me how is your class doing?" asked Sarutobi with a smile.

"Well the children are doing better than I expected especially three of them" said Iruka with little bit of pride.

"Who are these three?" asked Hiashi.

"Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata. They seem to be helping each other with subjects each of them aren't doing very well in. If they keep this up I have no doubt that they will not only make Genin but I believe that all three will tie for Rookie of the Year or at least one of them will was Naruto that changed them. The Hokage looked at Hiashi only to see him with a mix of surprise, proud ness, and anger.

Hiashi turned heading towards the door knowing he couldn't' do anything else. "Hiashi is there a reason for you asking this?" said the Hokage stopping the clan leader whilst he was at the door.

"Only a clan matter...Lord Hokage" and with that he left.

"Lord Hokage, why was I summoned here?" asked a very confused Iruka.

"Hiashi asked that Naruto be removed from your class and if I couldn't do that then he wished for Hinata to be removed" said Sarutobi.

"But why?"
"My guess...he doesn't like the fact that Naruto is giving her confidence and that he is a Namikaze. Not only that, I think he doesn't like an Uchiha and a Namikaze being friends with her"

"I see. I must leave now" Iruka headed towards the door until he remembered something he wished to tell the Hokage. "Before I forget Lord Hokage. On the first day of Naruto being in my class he showed everyone a...demonstration"

Sarutobi's eyebrow lifted, "demonstration?" he repeated.

"Yes apparently Naruto is able to use Chakra Chains" he continued to speak when he saw surprise in the Hokage's eyes. "He used them on Sakura Haruno and she fell unconscious due to chakra depletion"

"He is already able to use that jutsu. Who taught him this?" just as he asked he remembered Naruto saying he was trained by the Nine-Tails. "That fox"

"Fox?" asked Iruka now even more confused.

"It's nothing. You may leave now Iruka"

"Yes Lord Hokage" and he left.

That night Hiashi returned to the Hyuuga Compound quite angry and Hinata guessed that whatever he planned to do, failed. To Hinata, the rest of the week was the same; wake up, walk to the academy with Naruto, hang out with Sasuke at lunch, go to Ichiraku after the academy with Naruto and Sasuke, train at Naruto's home and returning to the Hyuuga Compound. It was now the day of the Genin exams and Hinata was very nervous. She thought that if she fails she would lose her friends and give her family a reason to hate her even more. "Dont worry Hinata, you will pass I promise" said Naruto.

Iruka entered the classroom, "Alright now everyone take a seat. It is time for the Genin exam"

I wish to apologise for the fighting scene. I know it was short but I just can't describe fights very well. I hope you enjoy this because I plan on making some surprises in the story. Please review and I dont mind if you see something wrong, please tell me if there is so I can sort it. Thanks for reading and dont forget my question in my profile, so far Naruto and Hinata are winning. Thank you..
