Chapter 20: Team 7
. . . .
After the spar Cole looked at his son and thought for a moment. "You know...I think I have just the justu for you to learn." Naruto looked up a little surprised that his father wanted him to learn something new, especially with the jutsu he was already leaning. Cole tossed him a water balloon. "It's called the Rasengan, it was your real fathers signature move, other than the Hiraishin. And the first thing you gotta do is pop that balloon."
. . . .
The first thing Naruto heard was the sound of his alarm. His eyes snapped open as he brought an angry fist down onto the evil machine. He slowly got up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He had been training with his father non stop and he felt exhausted. He yawned, but suddenly stopped. "IT'S TIME FOR TEAM SELECTIONS!" He yelled as he got dressed quickly. He had a special outfit to wear for today. His father had gone out and gotten him a new set of clothes to celebrate his graduation. He still wore the black pants and mesh shirt. But he now had a black trench coat like his mothers. But his had the sleeves ripped off, and had a dark orange lining on the inside and a red Uzumaki spiral on the back. He also had dark orange bandages on his forearm and black finger-less gloves. He also had the bandages on his shins with black combat boots. And over all that he had on dark grey forearm and shin guards like his fathers.
He did however modify them a bit. He put storage seals on them so he could grab weapons and tools from any position. He also had one of his dads swords sealed in each of his arm guards. For the past year he had been learning higher level fuinjutsu and kenjutsu. Right now he was just below a fuinjutsu specialist, and was a proficient swordsman. He was still far from mastering either techniques, but he was better than most.
He ran out of his room and grabbed an apple for the road and said a quick goodbye to his father and tired looking mother. "Good luck Naruto!" His father yelled as he ran out the door.
. . . .
Naruto made his way to the Hyuuga compound to meet up with Hinata like he always did. She was waiting for him outside the compound and when she saw him she let out her signature crimson blush. She admired his new look as he made his way over to her. "Oh..my..god...NO...HINATA GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE INNOCENT!" as she was having a mental battle with 'Inner Hinata', Naruto also bushed a bit at her clothing choice. She was wearing a thin lavender coat and shin length pants. She had also let her hair grow long like her mothers (Like Shippuden Hinata), and he had to admit, he liked the way she looked. "Ah, look, the Kit is all grown up. He even has a mate..." Kurama teased in his mind. "S-shut up stupid fox!" Kurama just chuckled as he cut the connection. He and Kurama were actually able to form a love hate kind of relationship. The fox would never admit it but he actually liked the kid. And Naruto would never admit it but he had fun listening to the foxes stories of times before Konoha. Stories about his family was still his favorites though.
"Hey Hina-chan! You ready to go?" Naruto asked when he got next to his friend. She nodded and they walked hand in hand to the Academy.
. . . .
"Alright guys settle down!" Iruka said as he walked into the class. He gave everyone a critical eye. But after a second he switched to a warm smile, "Congratulations on graduating everyone. But don't get too excited, you are still the lowest of the low. Fresh Genin, so were are going to assign teams of three with one Jonin sensei." Iruka continued to explain their position and their duties to the village.
Naruto however was paying more attention to the girl sitting next to him. "I hope me and Hina-chan are on the same team. I hope..." His thoughts were broken when Iruka began to list off teams. "Team seven, Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto crossed his fingers. And unknown to Naruto, Hinata was holding her breath. "Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke."
Naruto's head slammed on the table while Sakura jumped up and yelled something about true love. Hinata let out a depressed sigh when her team was called out. She looked to her crush and smiled weakly, "I-I guess well just have to try to s-see each other when we are off duty." Naruto sighed and agreed. "Man, this sucks. First I'm not on Hina-chan's team and now I get stuck with the Pinkie and Teme of all people," he grumbled. Sakura sent him a glare and Sasuke just gave his single syllable answer, "Hn."
The three of them sat there while the other Jonin sensei's came and took their teams. A couple of hours went by before realization struck Naruto. "Oh. God. Oh. God. OH MY GOD!" Sakura turned to him and snapped, "What!"
Naruto hit his head on the desk again and replied, "We have Kakashi-niisan as a Jonin sensei..." Sakura raised a eyebrow, "How would you know?" Naruto turned his head, with it still on the desk and said, "He's the only Jonin that ever this late to anything. I swear he would be late to his own funeral if he could." He groaned and continued to lightly hit his head on the desk.
"Knock it off Dobe. It's annoying when you complain." Sasuke said. "Fuck you Teme." was the only reaction Naruto gave him. Before Sakura could go off at Naruto for saying that to her 'Sasuke-kun' the door opened. A white haired shinobi with a ninja mask and one eye covered leaned into the room and asked, "Team 7?" Naruto groaned in reply. Kakashi eye smiled at him, "Well then meet me on the roof." With a swirl of leaves he disappeared. "I've got to get dad to teach me how to do that." Naruto thought as he and his team made their way to the roof.
. . . .
On the roof they sat in front of the Jonin. "Alright I guess I'm you Jonin sensei. So why don't you guys tell me about yourselves?" Sakura raised her hand and Kakashi sighed, "Pinkie we aren't in the Academy, just say what you want to say." Sakura blushed lightly and said, "Oh. Well could you go first and give us an example sensei?"
Kakashi shrugged, "I'm Hatake Kakashi. My likes and dislikes are none of your business. You don't want to know about my hobbies. And as for my dreams for the future, I don't really know." The two Genin who didn't know Kakashi sweat dropped at the fact they only got his name. Naruto just chuckled because he knew more about him, but decided the banshee and duck butt didn't need to know. "There, now, you're up Pinkie."
Sakura glared slightly at Kakashi but said, "My name is Haruno Sakura, I like...well the person I like (Girly giggles). My dreams for the future...(More giggles)."
Kakashi just thought, "Great...a fan girl." He sighed and asked, "And your dislikes?" Sakura glared at Naruto and yelled, "NARUTO!" Naruto and Kakashi sweat dropped. Kakashi gave a sympathetic eye to Naruto and said, "Well, sorry pal. Why don't you go next." Naruto nodded. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, I like Ramen, training, my friends, and family. I dislike those who look down on people without trying to get to know them, and the three minutes to cook Ramen. My dream for the future is to be the greatest Hokage there has ever been and protect everyone in the village!" Kakashi smiled while Sakura and Sasuke scoffed at him. "That's an admirable goal there Naruto. Alright gloom and doom, you're up," Kakashi said as he looked over at the brooding boy. Sasuke said, "My name is Uchiha Sasuke, I don't have any likes, but I have too many dislikes to name. And I don't have a dream for the future. I have a goal to restore my clan and kill a certain someone." Kakashi just sighed and thought, "Seinaru was right, I need to get Sasuke to give up on revenge."
"Alright, now that that's out of the way. I want you to meet me at training ground 7 tomorrow at five in the morning. I'll explain what you are going to be doing when you get there. But one word of advise, don't have breakfast, you'll just throw it up," Kakashi said. And with that he left in another swirl of leaves.
. . . .
