A.N.: I do not own Naruto. Leave a review if you like the story, Dattebane! :D

Nobuo and Hibachi were sitting on the same bench while Nana had to sit by herself since there was not enough space for all three of them. She was weary of both of her new teammates, there was no way they could suddenly have a change of heart. Nobuo by himself was harmless, a quiet self-absorbed soul, Hibachi was the one who always started the bullying, so why was he acting so nice towards her. Did he know something she didn't? But what? As far as she knows he wasn't the brightest of kids, but he was on the top 10 in class like her. Her eyes narrowed in concentration as she looked at them both while they smiled at each other.

"Let's start then." Seitaro-sensei said as he yawned again not even trying to cover his mouth this time.

"Why don't you guys introduce yourselves, we should get to know each other if we'll be a team. Your likes, what you hate, your dreams and hobbies, maybe?" He said after his yawn looking them over with his tired eyes.

"I'll start then." Hibachi announced as he stood up from his sitting spot.

"I'm Nakamura Hibachi. I like sweet stuff, I hate stupid people. My hobbies are hanging around with my friends, and my dream is to be a jonin class ninja." He said all that really quickly and sat down.

"I'm Ando Nobuo, I like to learn medical ninjutsu from my parents and I hate bread. About my dream, it is to be a great medical ninja like my parents. Oh and my hobbies, I guess it's reading and hanging out with my friends."

"I guess it's my turn." Nana said with a small smile standing up looking at Seitaro-sensei.

"My name is Uzumaki Nana. I really like to eat dango, no matter what kind. I like to hang out with my brother and eat ramen with him. I hate mean people, my dream is to help my brother become Hokage. And my hobby is reading about fuinjutsu and summoning techniques." She introduced herself as she sat down.

"Nana, you should find your own dream." Her sensei told her as he stood up, dusting his pants. "Like what you want to do? Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?"

"I… I don't know…" She muttered as she looked down at her knees, her hands gripping her shorts.

"Well, you still have time to figure it out. As for my introduction…. I am Isoda Seitaro your jonin teacher. I like a lot of things, I hate… interruptions. You don't have to know my dreams and my hobby is meditation." He made a short pause looking at all three of them.

"Let's get to the point." He said yawning again. "We'll do a mission, well a test really, starting tomorrow. It's gonna be a survival training, out of all the graduates only 33% are going to become Genins, the other 66% will go back to the academy."

"No way! Then what was the final exam for, dattebane?" Nana yelled pointing her finger at their sensei.

"It's so we can pick out those who are qualified to become Genin. Anyway, -" He yawned again "I'll be the one to determine whether you pass or fail tomorrow at the training grounds, so bring your ninja equipment, don't eat anything or you'll throw up, and meet me at 6 A.M on Training ground 2. Meeting over." He said in a stern voice.

The wind picked up ruffling everyone's hair as they watched their sensei disappear with a body flicker technique. Both Hibachi and Nobuo stood in front of Nana after their sensei disappeared, their arms crossed across their chest as they looked down at her.

Standing up Nana said her goodbye's and turned to leave.

"Not so fast." Hibachi said as he pulled her by her arm between both of the boys.

"Don't hold us back tomorrow." Nobuo said to her grabbing her other elbow.

"I had higher scores than both of you." She argued back trying to break free from their arm lock.

"Yeah that means nothing. You're a girl so just stand back and look pretty." Hibachi told her as he pushed her a bit forward.

"Yeah. I don't want to go back to the academy because of a girl." Nobuo added as he too let her arm go.

Her eyes narrowed at both of them, they haven't changed at all and to think she shared her dangos with them. Turning around again she said a quick goodbye before she, she won't let them get to her head, after all she was a Konoha shinobi now, and real shinobi had to learn how to adapt to certain situations. Even though she kept repeating the shinobi sentence over and over again that did not stop her tears from falling.

Later in the day she bumped in to Naruto and they went to eat Ichiraku's ramen with Iruka-sensei, making him pay for them yet again. They talked about their new senseis and Nana felt jealous of Naruto, she had hoped to be on Kakashi-sensei team, but instead she got a guy who was yawning all the time. Naruto didn't seem to like Kakashi that much and he complained all the time about Sasuke being on his team and how stupid he was to deal with. Nana talked about her team briefly since she didn't really know anyone that good.

That day passed by slowly as both Naruto and Nana anticipated their exam survival training in fear of becoming academy students again. How they coped with that fear was different. While Naruto stayed at home stuffing himself full with ramen, Nana went out to the training fields and trained different move sets that they learned in the academy.

'A girl…. I'll show them…I'll show them all…' Nana thought to herself while punching and kicking the wooden post on the training ground as hard as she could while her vision was blurry from the tears building up again in her eyes.

After some hours of just punching and kicking as fast as she could, she went to run around Konoha for a bit more stamina. She ran around Konoha almost every day to maintain her body in shape, and hopefully to become a bit faster. As she made a full circle around the village she looked down at her hand where she clutched a timer.

'Again… I'm not improving at all….' She thought to herself as she started to get a bit depressed.

She made her way back home in the late evening hours. The sky was already losing the nice orange tan as it was slowly being covered by darkness, some stars were already shining above her, illuminating the night sky.

'I have to pass tomorrow no matter what' She thought to herself as she lay down in her bed exhausted as her head made contact with the soft pillow.
