I believe this story is going very well. I hope people enjoyed my last chapter because I had fun typing it. Enjoy.

I am afraid that I am closing the poll because it just didn't work out. Anyway the winners were Naruto and Hinata (so obvious)


"Kurama Talking"

"Talking"

'Thinking'


It was a beautiful sunny afternoon. Naruto was sitting under a tree next to a small picnic. He looked to his left and saw he wasn't alone. A certain lavender-eyed Hyuuga was leaning against his arm. For some reason he thought it would be weird but instead it felt…right. His left arm was around her shoulder and he gently tightened his hold, bringing her closer to him. Hinata then looked up to see him staring at her. "I..." was all Naruto could hear. He had no idea what Hinata was saying. Then everything went dark. He opened his eyes to find himself in his bed at 5 am with his alarm clock beeping.

He turned it off and sighed.

"Just a dream" he said. "Wait didn't I have the same dream last week?" he asked no one.

"Yeah you did kit" Ok maybe he was talking to someone.

"Its weird this dream. I dont know how to explain it" he said.

"It doesn't matter for now" said Kurama. "Im going back to sleep"

Naruto then went to his bathroom, got washed and had a shower. He was ready by 5:30. He thought he might aswell wait for Hinata ay her clan gate seeing how he still has a lot of time. Not long after he got there a tired looking Hinata came into view. "Good morning Naruto" she said when she noticed him.

"Good morning Hinata. Shall we go?" he asked. Hinata nodded and walked net to him towards the training grounds. Naruto couldn't help but notice Hinata was distracted. "Are you ok Hinata?" he asked kindly.

"Yes" she said simply. "Why are you asking?"

"You just seem distracted"

"Well I can't stop thinking about my dream last night"

"What was it about?" Hinata then blushed.

"Oh you don't wan to know" she said embarrassed.

"Come on tell me" he said pleadingly.

"Ok…I dreamt I was sitting against a tree near a picnic. It was a beautiful view I was looking at. Then I felt someone move their arm around me holding me closer" she blushed and missed Naruto's wide eyes "I looked to see who it is and it was…you" she finished whilst blushing more. She looked to see Naruto staring at her. "What?"

"I actually had the same dream" he said.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Tell me at the end did you say something?"

"No I never said anything. You said "I" and that was all I heard before I woke up"

"In my dream it was you that said "I" maybe it was a coincidence"

"Yes maybe" said Hinata not sounding so sure.

They continued walking to the training field. They entered into a large clearing that was surrounded by a forest, a stream on one side of the clearing, and three training posts with Sasuke leaning against one looking like he might fall asleep at any second. Naruto then had an idea, an evil idea. "Wait here Hinata" he whispered to her. She nodded as Naruto snuck up behind Sasuke making sure he can't be heard. He then took a deep breath and shouted as loud as he could "LOOK IT'S SAKURA AND INO!"

Sasuke's eyes went so wide you'd think his eyes would fall out. He then jumped and hid behind a log. Naruto thought he saw Sasuke shaking in fear. After a few seconds Sasuke stopped when he heard laughter so he peered over the log and saw none other than Naruto rolling on the ground, laughing, and holding his sides. "Naruto!" he shouted back. He glared at said blond with all the hate he could muster. If looks could kill. Another few seconds of glaring, Hinata came up to them trying hard not to giggle. "Do you mind if I kill him?" asked Sasuke with his teeth clenched.

"Id prefer if you didn't" she said giving him a gentle smile.

"Your probably right because if Kakashi-Sensei is missing one student then we would have to go back to the academy" replied Sasuke.

Naruto eventually calmed down enough to talk. "That was funny. You should have seen your face" he said making Sasuke glare at him again. "By the way where is Kakashi-Sensei?"

"Are we here on time?" asked Sasuke.

Hinata nodded saying "He said to meet us here at 6 am and it is now…" she trailed off to look at the rising sun "past 6"

"So he's late" said Sasuke sounding unimpressed. Both Sasuke and Hinata looked over at Naruto to see him thinking. "What are you thinking Naruto?"

"Well…In my travels I studied ninja's from this village and ninja's that show promise. Like the day I first met Hinata, I knew about her. Its just that the name Kakashi Hatake is familiar but I just cant remember…" he said trailing off aswell.

"I know what you mean kit. The name is familiar but I cant quite put my finger on it" said Kurama from within Naruto's mind.

'Yeah its on the tip of my tongue. Maybe Sasuke or Hinata know something' thought back Naruto.

"Might aswell ask. By the way Naruto I came up with a new jutsu that allows you to connect peoples mind. Its sort of like the Yamanaka's mind technique but easier to use"

'Ok I'll try it and before I forget how come you know mind techniques?'

"Long story. It all started when-" he got interrupted by Naruto's snoring thoughts. "AHEM!"

'Huh? Oh sorry. How long was I out?'

"Your lucky I cant hurt you. Anyway these are the seals for the mind connection jutsu" images of hand seals went through Naruto's head. "Now go back to your friends because they are trying to call you"

"Naruto are you Ok?" asked a worried Hinata.

"Huh? Oh yeah its fine. I was just talking to Kurama" said Naruto. He then noticed the confused looks his friends were giving him. "I am able to talk to Kurama in a mental link"

"Oh" said Hinata and Sasuke in unison. "What did he say?" asked Sasuke.

"Nothing much. He just saying something about a mind connection jutsu that I should try"

"Mind connection?"

"It's a jutsu that allows multiple people to connect their minds so basically you can read the others thoughts if it is directed to you"

"When do you think you're going to use it?" asked Hinata.

"I don't know. Do you guys want to try?" They looked at each other, smiled and nodded at Naruto.

"Alright then" he made a few hand seals pointed at Sasuke and Hinata. "Mind Link Jutsu!"

Both Sasuke and Hinata didn't feel any different. "Was something suppose to happen?" asked Sasuke.

Naruto smirked thinking 'Yes thank you for asking' Sasuke and Hinata's eyes went wide.

"What the…" said Sasuke.

Naruto sighed saying "You have to think for it to work genius"

'Naruto can you hear me?' asked Hinata through her thoughts.

Naruto smiled at her thinking back 'Well done'

'This is weird' thought Sasuke.

'Only because your not use to it' thought Naruto.

'Are you use to it'

'…Shut Up!' Sasuke smirked at this.

Just then a puff of smoke appeared and Kakashi was there "Yo" he said with a small wave whilst reading a orange book. Naruto noticed it was the same book that the Third was reading before.

Naruto, and suprisingly Sasuke pointed at him and shouted "YOUR LATE!"

"Im sorry. On my way here I came across a black cat so I had to go the long way then I saw another black cat so I had to go teh long way again" said Kakashi with his famous eye-smile.

Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke all sweat-dropped thinking 'This is our Sensei?'

"Anyway now I am going to test you to see if your all good enough to be on my team as Genin. If you fail you'll be put back into the Academy for another year"

"You can do that?" asked a slightly worried Hinata.

"Yes" said Kakashi.

"Dont worry Hinata, were going to pass this no problem!" shouted Naruto.

"He's right. I doubt we'll fail" said Sasuke. Hinata smiled at them and nodded.

'Interesting' thought Kakashi. "For this test you are to aquire these bells" he said showing two bells "You can only have one each and your not aloud to give it to another. You have until noon and you have to attack to get close" he said tying the bells to his Jonin vest.

"But Kakashi-Sensei there is only two bells" pointed out Hinata.

"Correct. Once this test is over only one of you will be going back to the Academy. Also that person will be tide to one of the stumps and not get lunch that I brought"

'So thats why he told us not to have breakfast' thought all three at the same time. "But thats not fair!" shouted Naruto.

"My test my rules" said Kakshi. He then pulled out a timer (from God knows where) and placed it on a stump "The test begins...now!" he shouted starting the timer. All three of them then disappeared into the forest. 'I cant see any of them, thats good. But I can still sense their chakra' he thought still reading his book.


Hinata was sitting on a branch using her Byakugan waiting for the others to group up with her. She could see them heading her way so she stood up. "Hey Hinata" said Naruto landing next to her.

"Hello Naruto" she greeted with a smile. Sasuke then landed near them both and nodded to them.

"So whats the plan?" he asked.

"Well he said to attack to get close to capture the bells. So why don't we just do that?" asked Naruto.

"Your joking right?"

"Yeah I was. I was actually thinking that one of us should go out there and distract him whilst the other two attack and take the bells" Both Sasuke and Hinata nodded agreeing with the plan. "But who should be the distraction?" Both Sasuke and Hinata looked at Naruto and he noticed "Why me?"

"Because you have the biggest mouth" Naruto scowled at him making Sasuke smirk.

"You would probably be best at distracting him anyway" said Hinata softly.

"Well find somebody else" he said stubbornly.

Sasuke and Hinata looked at each other before sighing. "Well by you 2 bowls of ramen" offered Sasuke with Hinata nodding.

Almost instantly Naruto smiled and said "Deal" Sasuke and Hinata just sweat-dropped at this.


'When are they going to attack?' thought a nervous Kakashi. He was nervous because he thought at least one of them would be a knucklehead. Just then Naruto jumped into the clearing at least 30 feet away from his Sensei. "Took one of you long enough" said Kakashi still looking at his book. His eyes widened when he realized his book was replaced with book titled 'Not Being a Pervert for Dummies'

"Looking for this?" shouted Naruto. Kakashi looked at him and saw the orange book he cherishes.

"Hey give that back!" he demanded. Sasuke and Hinata were trying to contain their laughter.

"Make me!"

"You asked for it!" he then disappeared and reappeared behind Naruto making the tiger seal. He then shouted "One Thousand Years of Death!" and thrusted forward poking Naruto's...'ahem' ass. Then Naruto disapeared after being launched into the air. "A clone?" asked Kakashi.

"Actually a Shadow Clone" corrected Naruto standing in the middle of a small lake.

'He can already walk on water?' thought Kakashi in disbelief.

"If you want your book your gonna have to hand over the bells" said Naruto dangling the book above water.

Kakashi's eye widened and he looked pale. "Your the one that has to fight me" he said negotiating.

"Not going to work" said Naruto. Negotiation failed.

"Just give me back the book...please!" he pleaded.

"Fine" said Naruto throwing the book towards Kakashi. He caught it and started hugging it like how the Daimyo's wife would hug Tora, her cat. However the hug was cut short when Naruto punched Kakashi in the stomach. Naruto smirked thinking 'Replacement' because Kakashi was replaced by a log in the last second.

'That was a close one' thought Kakashi hiding behind a tree. 'I better start taking him more seriously'

He then heard Naruto shouting "Sasuke, Hinata. Might as well come out now!" The other team mates came out of the forest looking quite happy. Naruto turned towards the tree where Kakashi was and shouted "We win!"

Kakashi appeared saying "How?"

"We have the bells" said Sasuke holding a bell along with Hinata. Kakashi's eye widened and he looked for the bells that were tied to him but couldnt see them anymore.

"When did you get them?" he said sounding defeated.

"Whilst you were pleading for your book"

"Fine but one of you's still has to go back to the academy" said Kakashi.

Hinata was about to give her bell to Naruto (Go figures) but Naruto just waved his hand saying "None of us are going back to the academy"

"And how do you know that?"

"My Father was the one that made the bell test and used it on you. This was a test of teamwork and we worked together as a team" said Naruto with a smile making the others smile as well.

"I thought you were his son" said Kakashi. "Anyway yes you all pass. As Naruto said the test was all about teamwork. Remember this 'Those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum'. Although part of this test was to test your skills and all I got was that Naruto can walk on water and is a good tactician...also I get easily distracted" everybody sweat dropped at that along with a laugh. "Right congradulations you are the newwest Genins now. Meet back here tomorrow at 8 am for training" and with that Kakashi left in a puff of smoke.

"Do you guys wanna go get ramen to celebrate?" asked Naruto.

'Always with the ramen' both Sasuke and Hinata thought together. "Why dont we go somewhere else for a change?" suggested Hinata.

Naruto pouted and said a small "Fine"


After going to a small restaurant they all decided to find out who else passed. "Hey Sasuke I have an idea" said Naruto.

"What?"

"Do you remeber the bet we made at the Genin exams?" Hinata tried not to laugh at Sasuke's pale face.

"I...dont know what your talking about" he said.

"Well I do. It was a tie so I had to...em kissHinata" he said really quickly. Hinata blushed remembering what happened. "And you had to go out on ONE date with who ever I choose"

"I was hoping you forget about that" he mumbled.

"Since I couldnt decide..." Sasuke looked VERY hopeful at the moment "I had an idea that if you see either Sakura or Ino first then you have to go out with her" No more hopeful facve for Sasuke. "Deal?"

"Deal" just then two people latched themselves onto Sasuke.

"SASUKE!" shouted Sakura and Ino at the same time. "Back off Ino-Pig I was here first!"

"No way Forehead you were too slow. Right Sasuke?"

"Someone help me!" he shouted.

"If I didnt know any better Id say they got here at the same time. Right Hinata?"

"Yep" she said smiling and trying not to laugh.

"Oh you guys so planned this" said Sasuke.

"Do it Sasuke" ordered Naruto.

Sasuke began to sweat as he looked at the two horror-I mean girls in front of him. "I...was...wondering...if you...both...would...like...to..." he mumbled the rest.

"What was that Sasuke? I dont think they heard you" said Naruto making Hinata laugh.

"Would you both please go on a date with me!?" he shouted.


Somewhere near the womens bath house a white haired old man was giggling and scribbling notes until he heard a massive "YES!"

He looked around before smiling and saying "Well someone got lucky" Unfortunatly when he spoke it alerted the women in the bath house who were now surrounding the poor old man. "...uh oh..." was all he said before a massive beating happened.


After the shout Sasuke was dragged to a very fancy restaurant. Naruto and Hinata had to wait until they were out of sight before falling on the ground and holding their sides. "That was so funny!" exclaimed Naruto.

"Did you see his face?" asked Hinata. Naruto just nodded and they continued to laugh until Naruto got another idea. He got up and walked over to the still laughing form of Hinata and started tickling her. "Oh...Haha...my...haha...god...haha...stop...haha. ..I cant...haha...breath!" This lasted for a few minutes until they were tired and walked towards their homes.

At the door of the Hyuuga Compound stood Hanabi. But for some reason there was something slightly different with her. "Hanabi? What are you doing out here?" asked Hinata.

"I was kinda hoping we could talk" she said obviously not use to this. "In your room" she said. Hanabi then turned to Naruto. "I am sorry for my behaviour last time we met"

"Dont mention it" said Naruto smiling. "I got to go now so see you tomorrow Hinata" he said walking away.

"Bye" she replied then followed her sister into her room. This was going to be a long night.


It was now midnight and a certain Uchiha was tossing and turning in his bed dreaming of the "date" he just had.


I am so sorry that it took me so long to update I was EXTREMELY busy with school because of exams.

I redone the story a tiny bit so Naruto will NOT be teaching Sasuke and Hinata the Hirashin or the Chakra Chains.

Anyway I hope you all enjoyed this. Thank you for reading and please review. Critism is welcome.
