AU: Don't own Naruto

CHAPTER 8

Naruto woke up to the sound of her blaring alarm clock she cursed as she threw of her covers, only to shiver as the cold morning air hit her. Still half asleep her body went on automatic as she had her breakfast and got dressed. After washing her face and brushing her teeth she stared at herself in the mirror.

She was scared, she had kept this part of herself hidden for so long she didn't want to sow it and then be rejected. She already had trouble letting people in even a little bit, she could count on one hand how many people she trusted the most, and even after knowing them for a long time she still kept secrets from them. She sighed, she knew that if she got rejected now by the few peoples her called friends she would be crushed.

Naruto sighed, it was time for her to meet time Gia, she prayed to the gods for help. She brushed her hair and put it in a long pony tail. She then left the house and locked the door after her. She then made her way to training ground 9 enjoying the peace and quiet of the early morning trip.

"Brilliant disguises my youthful rival," declared Lee loudly as soon as he saw Naruto. His loud declaration soon brought the attention of the other two and their sense who smiled gently at Naruto.

Naruto nervously made her way towards the team before stopping in front of them and clearing her throat. "I have something to explain. So please don't interrupt. (This got nods from everyone). Due to some personal things in my past I had to keep my gender a secret. So Lee this isn't a disguise this is how I really look. I'm sorry I Lied to you all but my past is not pleasant and frankly I find it hard to trust people do too many of the things I have experienced. So again I'm sorry and I can completely understand if you don't want to be my friend any wore. I won't blame you."

There was a few minutes of silence before several things happened. Gia cried with Lee while declaring loudly how good a person Naruto is and how they would never stop being her friend no matter what happened. She got hugged by Ten-ten and patted on the back by Neji who smiled comforting to her.

Three happy hours went by in a happy daze, before Naruto was back in her house heading towards the bathroom to have a shower. After her shower he got dressed in to some new clothes that had been given to her years ago as present for when she became genin.

She wore black sandals, tight black trousers, a cool black belt, an orange top and a comfortable black jacket.(cover picture girl appearance). Her belt was covered in seals that stored her various ninja tools, and her clothes were covered in seals that made the clothes self-cleaning and self-repairing. Naruto redid her hair before going to the academy. Naruto smiled as she walked through the village for the first time without getting glared at or spat at. She knew by tomorrow things would be the same again as the village would know what she looked like again.

Naruto was the first to arrive and was welcomed by a tearful Iruka who hugged her and smiled sadly at her. they spent some time talking before Iruka had to call out team placements.

"Welcome new genin. Know that beaning a ninja is dangerous and a hard path in life to choose. Anyway team one is …." Read out Iruka. (all teams are the same as in canon, too lazy to write it down) "and due to certain circumstances Naruto has something to explain to everyone."

With that Naruto sighed before standing up and standing at the front of the class. Immediately there were cries of outrage as everyone thought this was one of Naruto's jokes. It took Iruka to resort to his Big Head no jutsu for the class to quieten down.

Naruto took in a deep breath before she began to talk. ). "Due to some personal things in my past I had to keep my gender a secret. So this isn't a prank or a joke this is how I really look, I really am a girl, I have never been a boy. So I'm sorry I lied to you all and I can completely understand if you don't want to be my friend any wore. I won't blame you."

Her statement was met with quiet before question after question was fired at Naruto. Thankfully she was saved by the appearance of the team sensei, which had come to collect their teams. Within minutes the only ones left were team 7.

Sasuke remained quiet while in deep thought about Naruto. Sakura on the other hand was sad but also happy to have a best friend that was a girl and not a boy. After answering questions from both Sasuke and Sakura for three hours the team was on friendly terms again, Naruto was happy again and their Sensei finally showed up.

AU: guess who their sensei is? Anyway read and review like normal.
