Chapter 3: Ironic Teams Unleashed
As Naruto ran through the busy streets, he could only think of not being late for this day, now he would normally wouldn't even care about being late, or even going to class for that matter, as mostly because of his bad experiences with bad teachers, with the exception of Iruka, today however was special for this newly genin. Today was the day of team placement.
"Finally. . ." Naruto then got out in excitement of what was happening on this day. "I'll finally be an official shinobi!" He added. He was right, today he would be leaving the academy days and begin his shinobi life alongside his new team and meet his Jonin Sensei. Today he would finally be a real shinobi.
In the seal, the Kyūbi merely rolled his eyes to that. "Yeah. . .that's great and all. . .But all of that won't happen if you don't make it to your crappy apartment, get ready and then reach the academy before eight o'clock." He comment with much sarcastic in his tone.
This quickly burst the blonde's bubble as panic replaced his excitement. "Dammit dattebayo! I can't believe this! I can't be late today! But I gotta get my ninja tools and my headband!" Naruto exclaimed as he began to ran even faster through the streets, while dodging people left and right.
But unfortunately, it was already the time when most of the early people would start to began their business. "Watch it you punk!" A fat man with a bald head yelled in annoyance.
"Be more considerate, you little brat!" A middle aged women yelled as she held onto her niece's hand as he ran. The hatred in their eyes, for once, was directed more at Naruto rather than his tenant.
Naruto kept on running without slowing down, all the while not even bothering to either look or replied to their insults. "Pricks. . ." He muttered out, rolling his eyes as he continued to head for his apartment.
Back with Satsuki, she had finally put on her transformation as she leapt from roof to roof for the academy.
On his way to the academy, Sasuke had taken the blond's route that he he took to get to his apartment and manage to heard some of the crowd muttering among themselves.
"Just who does that brat think he is?"
"Demon spawn!"
"Murderer!"
"He should've died when he was born!"
"It's his fault that Itachi went rouge!"
The last female Uchiha kept running, but if it wasn't for the fact that Satsuki was late and that if she could've dropped her façade, she would've would beat the living hell out of those people for even daring to insult her new friend.
But what she really couldn't believe was the attitudes of the civilians towards her new friend while they praised Sasuke like a king, no scratch that, a god for the sole fact that she was the last chance for the Uchihas to return. "How dare they!? What did Naruto-kun do that was so bad to them!? And for that matter, Naruto-kun doesn't even know my brother nor did he knows Naruto-kun!" She thought in anger as she passed them and arrived at the academy.
Unbeknownst to her however, a group of ANBU arrived and arrested those citizens, saying something about breaking the Third's Law where they will have a nice long visit to a certain scarred man and a beautiful purple haired kunoichi whom they will welcome with nice and warm curtsy. . .
Back with Naruto at his apartment. . .
Said blond had finally found his headband that he decided to wrap it around his forehead after removing the black headband from his head and decided to returned it to his new friend when he got the chance.
He then got his steel fishnet shirt hugging his body perfectly showing off his slightly fit muscles that he got after an intense week of training, when he when to get his regular clothing he realized something. "Shit, I knew I should've gotten rid of those bugs the other day! They ate most of my clothes!" He said as he saw that most of his favorite orange track suits were eaten by cloth eating bugs. He began to panic when he realized that he had virtually nothing left to were as those track suits were his single complete outfits he could had aford to buy. Luckily, one had survived the bug attack as he had put it in a box and sealed it with tape to make sure the bugs wouldn't get at it.
He looked at the last track suit and began to think. "I really like this track suit, after all it has my favorite color. But. . ." He began as he then looked at the outfit Satsuki had let him borrow. "Satsuki-chan won't mind if I explain what exactly happened." He finished as he decided that he wore the new outfit that Satsuki let him borrow and then got the rest of his ninja gear.
Once Naruto was finally ready with his new outfit, he looked at the small mirror and he grin at how good he looked. "I really should thank Satsuki-chan's outfit that she gave me." He stated as he was really grateful for the girl, as he unintentionally began to think about her. Her cute face, her warm smile, her amazing figure with her large rack. . . only to then imagine her being naked and covered by the small towel. "SHIT! WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING DATTEBAYO!?" He then swore out.
"Looks like the Sexy Jutsu has had a bit of an influence on you when it comes to other girls eh kit?" Kyūbi remarked with a smirk as he continued channeling the naked Satsuki images to his container's head.
At that moment, Naruto blushed madly as he violently shook his head and went out the window, heading for the academy. "This is gonna be really awkward. . ." He muttered.
The Kyūbi however began to chuckle at his container's predicament. "This is going to be fun. . ." He thought to himself, amused at how things were coming along and how it will probably will play out from now on.
In the Hokage's Tower. . .
Sarutobi along with the silver haired, mostly covered face Jonin known as Kakashi Hatake, as they were spying on Naruto in his crystal ball as he was running towards the academy.
"So, that's him?" Kakashi asked with a bored tone and watch lazily with his single visible eye.
Sarutobi nodded at his question. "Yes, he is one of your three new students along with Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Hyuga." He then stated his new team.
Kakashi slightly raised his single eye with slight confusion. "I thought Kurenai was getting the Hyuga girl?" He said as that was he was told before today.
The age Hokage simply nodded in agreement. "It was, but I made the last minute change so that Sakura Haruno is now Kurenai's team since she's more of a genjutsu type." He explained his reasoning. "But just remember, regardless of this change don't neglect your other students just cause the Civilian Council wants you train the last Uchiha." He then reminded with a serious tone.
Kakashi sighed as he then bowed to Sarutobi. "I understand, I'll equally train them, if they can pass my test that is." He then stated in an indifferent tone.
Sarutobi then started to rub his forehead in annoyance. "You and your teamwork," He muttered, but he knew that this little aspect was much more that just a requirement for him to accept a team, it was much more deeper than that and the aged Hokage accepted that all the same, out of respect than anything else. "Fine, just don't traumatize them for life after this." He added in a joking manner as he knew these three specific genin would be just fine.
"Understood." Kakashi responded, eye-smiling as he turned and started to leave. As he open the door he turn his head around. "And don't worry, no one will find out about Satsuki under my watch." He added as he was about to leave the Hokage's office.
Sarutobi could only chuckle at that. "Well thing is, Naruto-kun already found out her and it seems like she's may have gained a little crush on him as well." He revealed to the silver haired Jonin.
This stopped the elite Jonin as this intrigued him. "Hmm, interesting. Do that mean you'll want to talk to the two of them after the team introductions?" He then questioned.
Sarutobi smirked at at the Jonin. "I already ordered the ANBU to bring them here after the team placement. Be on time for the team pick-ups cause they'll be waiting until you are finished." He ordered.
"Yeah yeah I will." Kakashi said as he waved a hand and closed the door behind him. Outside, he took his Icha Icha book and started reading. "Better get going." He then casually said he started walking to the academy, taking the long way to get there.
The old Hokage could only sigh as he knew the three genin would wait for hours.
Inside the academy, at Iruka's classroom. . .
Satsuki in her Sasuke transformation was sitting in his regular sit while staring out the window while waiting for two people specific people. The first being their teacher Iruka to get our team selections going and the other being Naruto, the recent and only friend she had made after last night accident. "To think all of that happened last night. . ." She thought as she couldn't helped but to blushed inwardly at the events as she had to hide it from the outside so no one would see it. "Come on Naruto-kun, get here soon, class will begin any minute." She then thought with anticipation and worry in her tone.
"Um, is this seat taken?" A familiar female voice asked the last Uchiha. Sasuke turned to see Sakura, in her pink hair glory cladded in her red dress, going completely head over heels for him.
Sasuke grunted as she started to squeal as she sat down, "Great. . .the pink banshee. . ." Satsuki thought in an annoyed tone. He then got a quick glance over to where Hinata was sitting and the seat next to her was empty. "Good, Naruto-kun can sit next to her now so he can get to know her better." He thought with a smirk, causing Sakura to squeal more as she thought he was happy that she sat next to him, which in turn caused him to sigh in annoyance. "Please let me not be on the same team as her." Satsuki soon begged.
"Hey forehead! I'm sitting with Sasuke-kun!" Ino then roared as she came over to the area.
Sakura merely growled as she looked at the Yamanaka heiress. "In your dreams pig! I'm sitting next to Sasuke-kun!" She declared proudly
Satsuki meanwhile only watched as the two girls sent insults to one another while having to fight the urge to slam her head in the desk, repeatedly. "Why me!?" She then whined.
Naruto finally made to the academy where he saw Iruka where the two had a bit of small talk, him talking mostly what he had done over the week, about the jutsus he learn all the while hiding anything related to Satsuki as the two headed in and arrived at the classroom door.
As the two were just a few meters away from the classroom, Iruka could only smiled at the way Naruto describe his week. "Well Naruto, I gotta say that I'm really proud of you. Learning all those jutsu is something to be proud of." He commented as pride was ever present in his voice.
Naruto smiled as he scratched the back of his head. "Thanks Iruka-sensei. After beating the hell of out Mizuki-teme, it was worth it the trouble of learning them." He then stated.
Iruka then started to chuckle as he rubbed his nose before he then noticed that they finally reached the classroom. "Well we better get in." He commented.
"Yup, I gotta certain girl to sit next to dattebayo." Naruto said with his usual grin.
Iruka merely chuckled to that. "Let me guess, Sakura?" He then guessed, knowing that Naruto had a crush on her.
Naruto shook his negatively in response. "Nope." He he stated.
Iruka at that point gave him a confused and somewhat surprised look before realizing who he was talking about and smiled. "So you finally figured it out huh?" He stated more than question.
Naruto then became wide-eyed at what he said. "YOU KNEW!?" He yelled in disbelief.
Iruka at that point sighed as he then rubbed his forehead. "Naruto, everyone knew about it. The jonin and ANBU of Konoha had a large bet on it." He then advised.
"Not surprising at all. . ." Kyūbi meanwhile deadpanned within the seal. "And it seems that one side's getting a lot of money from it now as a result. . .damned bastards. . ." He then remarked while grumbling the last part.
Naruto then dropped his head in shame while groaning to his tenet's remark. "Remind me to hit myself with a large frying pan after this." He commented as he then looked at his former sensei with a serious look. "But even with what I did or didn't do, I still have a promise to keep. truthfully I really don't know if I have any feeling for her, but I want to get to know her first and then see if we can start something between us." He then explained with complete honesty.
Iruka was slightly shocked by this, but he gave a kind and proud smile as he was glad that his favorite student was growing into a mature young man, to at least give the girl that had a huge infatuation borderline in love with him a chance to get to know each other is probably the only thing the shy girl ever wanted. "Well Naruto. . .You do that." He said with a chuckle as he headed in with Naruto following behind him, the moment he got in everyone inside went quiet as everyone was surprised for two reason.
The first being that the sight of the blond whom they thought had failed the test, but now was coming inside of the class along with Iruka and the other reason was said blonds complete change in outfit and although still had his favorite color as it main theme, it still made him looked pretty handsome that even some of the Sasuke fangirls couldn't help but blush while others more shameful ones had a little bit of drool coming out of their mouths at the newly masculine look of the blond, that some were slightly starting to regret not seeing Naruto in this light.
"N-Naruto-kun?" A very surprised Hinata thought as the sight of his new look, while working extremely hard at not trying faint after she realized that the only one unoccupied seat left was the one next to her. "O-One seat left. . ." She muttered with a blush on her face as her head was turning into an oven from embarrassment
Sasuke briefly looked at Naruto with the same indifferent expression and gave a scoff and looked away, not before giving a quickly look towards Hinata along with the rest of the class. "It looks like he's leaving a new impression on everyone." Satsuki remarked in her head with a squeal, while on the outside Sasuke only smirked underneath his hand that covered his mouth. "I really hope he'll keep the new look, he really looks good now, teehee." She then added, soon blushing after realizing what she added. "Since when did I start acting like this?" She then thought in slight confusion, not exactly disliking that she was.
As Naruto was about to head for a certain open seat next to the blushing dark blue haired girl. . .
"NARUTO-BAKA!" A very annoying voice shouted.
Naruto continued to walk in a calm manner as he turned his head and saw that it was indeed who he thought it was.
Sakura glared at him with both annoyance and disgust. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!? THIS IS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO GRADUATED YOU BAKA! DON'T THINK A NEW LOOK WILL CHANGE ANYONE'S OPINION OF YOU!" She yelled to his face when he got close enough. "SO GET OUT OF HERE YOU DEVIL!" She added with much hatred as she could muster.
At hearing the begining part of Sakura's rant Satsuki and Hinata both glared at her, as many would assume that Naruto should be here, but when they heard the last part, it made both girls blood to boiled. Hinata did something that would be considered against her kind and shy nature, her Byakugan activated unconsciously and even more surprising she began to send a small amount of killing intent. While Satsuki had to used every ounce of her self restraint not to sent her ninja wire around the pink banshee's neck. "That bitch!" The both thought in coincidental unison.
Hinata began to take a few deep breath to try to regain her control of her newly found temper as she looked at the pink haired girl. "I know that Sakura-san dislike Naruto-kun thanks to the influence the villagers have, I can understand that. . .but that is going to far!" She thought with complete disapproval.
Satsuki on the other hand, she was incredibly furious at the complete disrespectful and hurtful things the pink banshee told her new friend and said girl was really lucky that she didn't drop her disguise or she would rip her windpipes. "How dare she!?" Satsuki started to rage in her head. "If wasn't in disguise right now, oooooh man that bitch would be in a world of pain right now!" She threatened, wishing had access to the Sharingan.
"Two minutes. . .record time. . ." Kyūbi counted out how long it took Sakura to begin to bellow at his host while not even phased by it as he was used to it and was thankful that he was inside of the seal so that his ears would get damage from hearing her voice.
Once Naruto was virtually next to Sakura, he gave her a blank look and closed his eyes as he once more began to think of all their previous encounters, each and every one of them were the same. When he had enough recalling he finally made up his mind he slowly open his eyes as he looked straight at the girl's eyes. "Ok. . .first of all, see this?" He began as he pointed at his headband. "This means I'm a genin you like anyone else in this room." He finished as Sakura and everyone else were shocked and just now they finally notice the headband on Naruto's forehead, but what really shock them was the way Naruto was actually talking back against Sakura's abusive verbal assault.
"What the hell!? What's up with the blond!?" Kiba barked loudly as he never would had dream that Naruto actually passed the test while Akamaru simply gave a small whine in confusion.
Shikamaru who had his head flat on his desk, his eyebrow twitch at hearing this and merely sighed. "Troublesome. . ." He muttered.
Chōji merely munched on some more chips as he looked on. "Huh, that was different." He simply got out as he kept eating.
Many more of the hopeful shinobi to be began muttered in either confusion or denial as they couldn't believe that Naruto the dead last and worst ninja trainee was now a full fledged Genin.
Naruto was completely unfazed by the comments and muttering around him as he continued to look at the shocked Sakura. "And second, you don't have to worry about me bugging you anymore Sakura, I recently got a large wake-up call and realized that you're not what I always saw you as. I always thought of you as a nice, smart and a sweet girl. . .boy was I wrong in the head, I mean I must have been a sucker or possibly a masochist for pain if I had let you used me as your personal punching bag." He explained as he walked passed the completely baffled and stupefied girl.
This had shocked the class even more that before, since they originally knew the class clown had a massive crush on Sakura and now they were really wondering what happened to him.
"Did that just happen?" A fangirl got out not believing what she just saw and heard.
"I think it just did. . ." Another one remarked in a baffled expression.
"I didn't see that coming. . ." One more of the girls got out as she had a blush on her face as she couldn't stop looking at the blonds new look and demeanor. "But. . .don't you think Naruto looks kind of. . .well you know. . ." He added in a whisper.
This made the other fangirls around her to look at the blonde once more and they also blushed as they knew exactly what the other one meant.
Ino, who was still in a state of shock, didn't heard what the fangirls were whispering about, as she continued looking at the scene in front of her. "Naruto, the Naruto that was dead on getting a date with her for so long. . .actually rejected forehead. . ." She stated with a baffled tone in her voice, then noticed where said blonde's destination. "No way. . ." She then got out as a sudden realization came to her. "Did he finally realize it!?" She then thought with yet more shock than before. After all, it was one thing to rejected Sakura, but it was another thing entirely for the denser then stone Naruto to finally realized the only person who had a huge on him.
Sasuke meanwhile raised an eyebrow as he heard what Naruto just said as he gave the expression of being genuinely curious. For Satsuki however, she was laughing up a storm inside of her mind, as it instantly losing all the rage she had previously gained from Sakura's earlier remarks. "Nice Naruto-kun! Way to stick it to her! And sounded so cool while doing it too!" She thought, praising her new friend for standing up to his ex-crush. Sasuke then sniffed the air, recognizing a familiar scent. "Raspberries. . ." He muttered as he eyed the blond. "He must've used my shampoo while he was showering. . ." Satsuki then deducted as she noticed the appearance of his hair. "It looks silky smooth now. . .and it also smells good. . .too bad he didn't use the body lotion. . ." She then dumbly admitted as her mind began to wonder at the thought while licking her lips. "Mmm. . .sweet and tasty raspberries. . .Licky licky tasty Naruto-kun. . ." She then thought before struggling to hide the blush on her face as she was really thankful that she was covering her face with her hand or everyone would've seen said blush on her face.
While Naruto continued to walk, he didn't notice that everyone, mostly the girls were looking at him like a piece of meat as he then he finally reached the seat next to the dark blue haired Hyuga. "Hey, mind if I sit here Hinata-chan?" He then asked with a kind smile.
Said girl let out a small 'Eep' at his question as her face was turning dark red. She honestly couldn't believe this was happening to her, her crush was actually asking if he could sit next to her, she could feel her heart racing at lightning speeds. "I-I um. . ." Hinata got out as she tried desperately not to faint, while she tap both of her index fingers together in a shy manner. "S-Sure. . . you can sit here. . .N-Naruto-kun. . ." She then meekly responded with a nod as she mustered up all the courage she could with a small happy smile and small blush adorning her cheeks.
Naruto couldn't help but blushed lightly, normally he would find this actions weird, but after learning that Hinata liked him made the blond look at her with more focus. "Damn, she's so cute!" Naruto thought as he sat next to her.
"She may be cute now, just wait when she grows up." Kyūbi said with a perverted chuckle. "It's always the shy ones that become big busted in the end. . .save for the Uchiha of you consider her actually shy." He remarked.
Naruto inwardly groaned to those remarks as he then smiled at the Hyuga Heiress. "Thanks Hinata-chan." He responded as he sat down.
This made Hinata's face to turn even darker shades of red when she heard Naruto add chan to her name. "Naruto-kun called me Hinata-chan! Dose that mean he thinkings of me as a friend!?" She thought to herself as she continued tapping her fingers together.
Once Naruto had sat down, he caught the sense of something, then started to sniff the air. "You smell raspberries?" He asked her.
This caught Hinata's attention as she began to sniffing the air herself a little, once she finally caught the scent she gave a small nod of agreement as she shyly looked at the blond. "Y-yes. . .I-I think it's coming from your hair." She replied with a whisper but it was enough for Naruto to heard.
As Naruto gave a few more whiff, he finally realized that he and Hinata must've had smelled Satsuki's shampoo. As he touched his hair, it didn't feel entirely spiky but instead it felt a bit smooth and wavy. "Huh, I guess I was so relaxed that I didn't notice." He thought as he then shrugged his shoulder.
Besides Hinata and not including Sakura, the other girls started to sniff the air, smelling raspberries as well while turning their heads toward Naruto with his new appearance, that they began to give him looks of lust and something more.
Having enough of all the racket, Iruka gained a tick mark on his forehead. "ALRIGHT EVERYONE QUIET DOWN!" He soon yelled out, using his infamous big head jutsu. This got what the brown haired teacher wanted as everyone looked forward and all eyes were on him, but they all wondered just how he does that. His head returned to normal as he gave a nod of approval. "As you all know, from today on, you're all shinobis of Konoha." He began and everyone gain an excited face at this statement.
"For now you're Genin, lowest ranking ninjas. But as long as you gain experience, you'll soon rise through the rankings in no time. First we'll divide you into three-man teams and then you'll meet your Jonin sensei." He explained as he then started to hear muttering from everyone, he could heard things like hoping to be with a friend or be with the one they like, he could only sigh at that.
Iruki could on shock his head to this. "They should be more worried of surviving than worrying about something as trivial as that." He thought with disappointment as he pulled out the list that was recently given to him by the Hokage. "I am going to call out your teams and I would like you to sit according to them after I am finished. Also this is team was made and created by the Hokage himself, so you have no say in the manner to these team placements." He told the students turned genin as they all became silents to hear the team pairings.
When he saw everyone being completely quiet he began. "Team One. . ." He began as the first through the six were only made of civilian heritage, he knew they would most likely wouldn't pass the true test, but he knew that was the rite of passage so to speak. "Next one is Team Seven, they will consist of Naruto Uzumaki," He began, instantly gaining said blond's attention alongside some the blue and black haired girls and the the girls that looked at him with anticipation.
Naruto couldn't help but grin at the mention of his name. "Finally I'm up!" He thought with uncontrollable excitement, though deep down he really wish that he could had partner up with either Satsuki or Hinata, but he knew the chances of that was slim to none.
Iruka secretly gave a brief looked at his favorite blonde with his eyes and then continued. "Sasuke Uchiha," He continued.
This got more than one set of eyes to widen in surprised, then many began to whisper at his revelation. Both Naruto and Satsuki were also very surprised as it shown in their shocked expressions, but once the surprised had passed, it took every single ounce of both preteens self control to not start to scream in excitement at the thought of them being together with their first and probably only true friends side, but they knew that they had to remain in their normal character so they settled with a small tug of their lips.
Sasuke looked at Naruto as so did the blond and as if they both had shared their happiness as they gave each other very subtle nod and then both scoffed to remain in character.
Then Satsuki turn to looked at the window to hid the ecstatic look in her eyes. "I can't believe it! I'm on the same team as Naruto-kun!" She squealed internally with uncontrollable happiness. "First I made a friend that will help me hide my secret, then I had a home warm meal with my first friend and now I'm with my first friend's team for a long time! This is the best week of my life!" She added as she really wanted to cry out of happiness, but she knew that could wait for later, right now as much as she hated it, she had to remain in character.
Most of the class, specifically the guys, didn't really care about this team as most were either glad or happy not being on Naruto's team, while some of the Sasuke fangirls and some of the ones that started to look at Naruto in a new light, began to drool and were now begging every single kami or deity in existence for the chance to be on the same team of the two hot young preteens.
Ino meanwhile looked at their sensei with narrow eyes. "Ok, two guys now have been chosen, which means that the last member must be a girl or someone with high marks like dad told me. . ." She deducted as she looked at the pink haired girl and paled. "OH NO!" She then panicked in her head in realization.
Sakura meanwhile also figured out how the teamings were going to go as she became giddy in her seat. "YES! I'M GONNA BE WITH SASUKE-KUN! CHA!" Inner Sakura exclaimed in her head as she was to much in her delusion of being on the same team with Sasuke that she forgot all about Naruto being on the same team as well.
Iruka groaned at what the other girls were doing as he then looked back at the name of the last member of Team Seven. "And finally the last member. . .Hinata Hyuga." He then revealed.
No sooner the teacher said this, many of the girls around them began to wailed in sadness for not being able to be in Sasuke's and Naruto's team now, as they were slightly regretting now ignoring said blond in the past and missing the chance on getting a chance on this new Naruto.
Meanwhile the newly formed Team Seven had a stupefied looks in there face as it then was replaced with a happy one. "Yes!" Naruto and Hinata whispered to themselves as this surprising yet happy news while Sasuke grunted as he crossed his hands to cover his mouth, but only to hide a smirk under them.
However in Satsuki's head, she became even more ecstatic to this development. "Hinata-chan too!? Awesome! Either Kami must loves me or I finally had Lady Luck's good side on my side now!" She exclaimed in more excitement.
Iruka was about to announce the next team when. . .
"WHAT!?" Sakura exclaimed in shock as a mental glass in her mind was beginning to crack and a deep hatred was beginning to form within her. "Iruka-sensei, that's not possible! The best student is always pair off with the one with the highest marks! It should be me on Sasuke-kun's team!" She demanded with much anger in her tone as she then then remembered the other thing she forgot, she turned to Naruto and looked at him with disgust and hatred. "And why is Naruto-baka even here!? He failed the graduation exam, so why is he here in the first place!?" She asked, loathing that Naruto was on the same team as her beloved Sasuke-kun and she wasn't.
"Yeah, why is that dobe even here?" One former student asked, as he took didn't believe that Naruto could had passed the exam.
"Also I noticed that Mizuki-sensei isn't here. Where is he?" Another former student asked, starting to question where their other sensei was.
Sasuke looked at Naruto as he glared at Sakura. "Though I really hate those that really belittle Naruto-kun and would like to beat the crap out. . .there right. How did Naruto-kun graduate?" Satsuki wondered as she also knew that clone jutsu was the blondes worse jutsu. Then she remembered the fight they had last night. "I know that he can do Shadow Clones, but when and where did he get that jutsu? That's an B or A-Rank for sure." She deducted, not that she wasn't mad or anything, she was really happy that Naruto got something to pass, it was that she was really curious how he got it..
Iruka sighed with annoyance as he knew this was going to happen, then when he was about to explain, but Naruto beat him to it as he gathered some chakra to his legs and made a very impressive jump to where Iruka was from his seat, this startling everyone while some girls were very impressed by this display. "You really want to know?" Naruto asked as he saw the stupefied ex-classmates nodding dumbly.
Naruto turned towards Iruka as he made a silent 'can I', who could only sigh nodded his head, he knew that sooner or later the news of Mizuki's turning traitor would be revealed. "Just don't say anything too revealing. . ." He answered.
Naruto knew exactly what his ex-sensei meant by 'too revealing'. "No saying anything about the forbidden scroll got it." He thought to himself as he turned back to the rest his ex-classmates.
"Well I doubt that they would believe that you manage to get the most important scroll in the entire village, who is under the ever watchful eyes of you so called leader using that perverted jutsu of yours." The Kyūbi commented with a chuckle.
For the first time, Naruto didn't have any retorts. "No comment." Was all he had to say to him as he too felt the same way as the Bijū, which only made said Bijū to chuckle even more. Naruto took a deep breath and looked at the waiting ex-classmates. "Let me think, it all started when Mizuki-teme-" He started.
"THAT'S SENSEI YOU BAKA!" Sakura rudely interrupted, annoyed that the blond was being disrespectful to a teacher.
Naruto rolled his eyes as he really didn't care what she said and simply decided to continue. "After the graduation exam last week, on my way home, Mizuki-teme approached me telling me about a makeup test to take." He explained as this got some mutters from the class as they never heard of a makeup test to become a genin, while Sakura growled with much anger at the direct way Naruto emphasised on the fact that he completely ignored her. "And as you most likely figure it out, it turns out it was a complete lie when he told me that I had to steal a certain object from the Hokage if I had any chance of passing the exam." He then revealed as he hid the fact that the object that he stole was the Forbidden Scroll.
Most of the students gasped at this. "He told you to steal something from the Hokage!? How the hell did you get pass him!?" Kiba asked in shock as Akamaru barked on his head.
Shikamaru may had looked completely uninterested, but in fact he found it very suspicious when Naruto didn't say what was the object he was told to steal. "He's either hiding what it is or he was told not to." He deduced as he remembered the way that Naruto looked at Iruka before he began. "And by that little exchange, it must be the latter." He concluded as he figured out some of the details.
Naruto rubbed the back of his head and chuckled a little. "Well, let's just say that Iruka-sensei isn't the only one who fell for my instant kill jutsu a shown him before." He then revealed as he rubbed the back of his head while the Kyūbi inside of the seal was laughing his ass off.
At that point, most of the guys laughed while girls jaws dropped at the thought of the Hokage getting a nosebleed from seeing a naked girl with Sasuke had to hold in a laughter or risk joining the Bijū in a roaring laughter as well, while Kiba and Chōji on the other hand laughed loudly, Shikamaru snickering a little and Shino only raised an eyebrow to this.
"No way. . .Hokage-sama is a pervert. . ." Ino got out in disbelief with both a disappointed and disgusted tone in her voice.
At the Hokage Tower, Hiruzen Sarutobi sneezed. "Someone must be talking about me. . .and knowing my luck Naruto-kun must had done or said something to complete destroyed my image. . ." He muttered as he palmed his face as he knew Naruto was the source of whatever just happen.
Iruka palmed his face as he looked at the blond genin. "I don't know whether to be happy that he didn't mention the Scroll or mad that he just made our leader into a pervert. . ." Thought the very annoyed teacher.
Sasuke simple acted as he really didn't care less while on the inside Satsuki was starting to put the pieces that she had learned since hers and Naruto's match in her head. "I see, so Naruto-kun must've been rewarded for taking out Mizuki. . .but now I wonder what exactly Mizuki wanted Naruto-kun to take." She pondered. "Hmm, so the dobe ended up learn a higher rank jutsu to make up for the clone jutsu. Impressive." Sasuke muttered.
Hearing the rookie of the years deduction made many wondered how strong was now Naruto.
"Lucky!" Kiba said as he looked at Naruto. "Hate to say it. . .But that's pretty awesome." He then admitted with much jealousy in his tone.
Sakura scuffed as she looked away, crossing her arm and pouted. "Who cares whatever that demon got? If anything it should had been Sasuke-kun to be the one with that kind of privilege." She then stated.
"So you think Sasuke-san should have the privilege of learning whatever Naruto had learned to pass the genin exam Haruno-san?" Shino asked impassively as he never was one to like to hear the completely illogical rants of the pink hair preteen.
"Of course! Sasuke-kun's destined for greatness as a shinobi! He rightfully deserves it! Way better than that demon should ever had!" Sakura stated stupidly and loudly causing Kiba to cover his ears and for Akamaru to whine.
"You really are foolish Sakura, not even Sasuke-teme is entitled to learn what I had, especially if it can killed him if he even tried it." Naruto said as he shook his head in annoyance as he remembered that the shadow clone would kill even season Chunins if they didn't had enough chakra. "Yup, Satsuki-chan was definitely right about her." He thought with much disappointment.
"What was your first clue dumbass?" The Kyūbi retorted.
"Ah shut foxface." Naruto muttered back as he really didn't want to hear anything from the Biju right now.
"WHAT DO YOU KNOW NARUTO-BAKA?! YOU ONLY GOT LUCKY WITH WHATEVER THOSE JUTSU YOU LEARNED WERE! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A CLANLESS ORPHANED LOSER WHOSE PARENTS PROBABLY KILLED THEMSELVES WHEN THEY HAD YOU! SASUKE-KUN IS AN UCHIHA WHICH AUTOMATICALLY MEANS THAT HE IS YOUR BETTER!" Sakura screamed causing a few of the windows in the class to crack at the sheer volume of her voice and others to cover their ears.
Those who are pretty much okay with Naruto such as Shikamaru, Chōji, Kiba, Shino, and surprisingly even Ino gasped at Sakura and her despicable attitude wondering what made her say those things in front of not only her classmates, but the instructor. They each glanced at Naruto and saw him with his head down and hair covering his eyes, stopping them from seeing what the blond was feeling.
At the moment both Hinata and Sasuke both manage to unlock their Killing Intent as they really wanted to hurt the the disrespecting banshee, as their newly discovered KI kept increasing, which caused Sakura to pale and almost pass out from the sheer force of KI that was being directed at her.
Sasuke glared heavily at Sakura while in his mind, Satsuki smirked as she thought of something good. "Yeah. . .that'll work. . ." She thought. Sasuke, who was still glaring at Sakura, then took a deep, calming breath. "You know Haruno, regardless of who my family is, I'm also an orphan as well. . .or did you forget that I lost my entire family in one night cause of the Uchiha Massacre?" He then remained with a sub zero tone that caused everyone around them to gasp as they now remembered that fact.
This also made the pink haired girl paled as she looked at the Uchiha. "B-BUT SASUKE-KUN! I JUST-" Sakura cried out with anguish, realizing her stupidity.
But before Sasuke could respond. . .
"Haruno-san," A sudden voiced interrupted Sakura. "I have for so long tolerated your loud voice and disrespecting attitude towards those you think are lower than you, but you made the last mistake of opening that big fat mouth of yours and hurt someone who has never done anything wrong to you other than talk to you! If you don't learn how to keep quiet when you are supposed to, I will give you an over powered Juken shot to the throat and end your ability to used that horrible voice of yours!" One of the most unexpecting person threatened, shocking everyone who knew it.
In the seal, Kyūbi blinked a couple of times as he looked at who said it. "Wait what? Did who I think it was, was the one who said that badass threat?" He got out in slight confusion and shock.
Naruto and Satsuki meanwhile were also completely shocked by the normally shy girl actually threatening someone, let alone Sakura. "Wow. . .Hinata-chan was so badass!" They both thought in unison.
Said pink haired girl on the other hand was in the least bit intimidated as she believed herself to be better than Hinata. "Oh shut up! You're too weak and frail to even challenge someone of my standards you little-" Sakura was quickly interrupted by surprisingly, Hinata of all people as she grabbed Sakura by her shirt and slammed her back against the wall with a hand cocked back ready to strike her throat, showing she was serious.
"Try me Sakura-san. . ." Hinata threateningly said while small amount of chakra began to glow on her fingertips, further surprising everyone.
Naruto looked at her in disbelief, a blush creeping onto his face. "Wow. . .just. . .wow. . ." He got out.
Inside of the seal the Bijū whistled at the display of the so called weak girl. "Ok. . .This shy little bunny is actually a fierce lioness in disguise, you really hit the jackpot on this one kit." Kyūbi commented as Naruto was still stupefied which caused him to only chuckle in replied.
Sasuke looked on as well, as he looked slightly interested, but also making sure he didn't look interested because of the fangirls. Satsuki however was also really shocked at the display. "Hinata. . .that was awesome! Man I'm glad to be on the same team as you!" She said, a blush instantly adjourning her face.
While the rest of the class was still in major shock of the Hyuga's threat before the teacher looked on. "Hinata-san, please put her down, it's not right threatening a fellow classmate." Iruka advised, trying to bring Hinata back down to Earth before she did something she might regret.
"Let me down!" Sakura yelled out as she felt the grip on her neck loosen a bit. after Hinata fully heard both of their voices she manage to get most of her judgement back and knew that her ex-sensei was right, so reluctantly released Sakura and headed back to her sit, not once looking back at her. "Yeah that's what I thought you white eyed freak!" She insulted with a malicious tone in her voice.
That was the last bit of patience their ex-sensei could handle. "ENOUGH! SAKURA YOU ARE WAY OUT OF LINE WITH THESE COMMENTS OF YOURS!" Iruka yelled out, already reaching past his boiling point with Sakura.
"BUT IRUKA-SENSEI! THE CIVILIANS ARE ALWAYS GOING ON SAYING THAT NARUTO-BAKA IS A DEM-" Sakura started but was soon cut off by Iruka slamming his hand on the desk, creating a few cracks in the wood.
"SILENCE!" Iruka yelled out with true anger in his voice, upon hearing such a tone shocked the rest of the class as they had never heard the kind yet easily annoyed sensei to show such an emotion, specially towards a former student. "IF YOU DON'T SHAPE UP THAT ATTITUDE OF YOURS, NOT ONLY WILL I REVERSE MY DECISION OF MAKING YOU A NINJA, BUT I WILL GO TO THE HOKAGE AND PERSONALLY REQUEST HIM TO MAKE YOU A CIVILIAN PERMANENTLY!" He then declared in a threatening tone making it very clear to all that he was serious, causing said girl to growl and anger, but she knew that if Iruka when to the Hokage with this complaint, this threat will happen as she knew that the Hokage had a soft spot for Naruto so with much anger she simply sat down and decided not say anything more.
After Iruka had seen Sakura had sat down and halted any further interruptions, he took a deep breath to finally calm down and continued from where he was on the explanation before his student's outburst. "The point is, in the end, Mizuki's plan backfired when Naruto realized his intentions and stopped him from what he was possibly planning." Iruka explained as some of the students began to muttered as it was hard to a hard pill to swallow that the dead last known as Naruto could actually accomplishing such a thing while the girls kept looking at him with a blush on their faces.
"That and I so enjoyed beating the living shit out of the teme." Naruto thought with a shit eating smirk at the memory when he sent his army of clones to beat him to an inch of his life.
Seeing that his ex-students would get distracted yet again, Iruka decided to continued. "Anyways, moving on with the teams." He began as he took out the team placements list again. "Team Eight will be Kiba Inuzuka, Sakura Haruno and Shino Aburame," He read and no soon he said that, Kiba and Sakura slammed their heads on the table.
"Dammit!" Kiba muffled out with his face still on the table.
"How can this be!? I was supposed to be with Sasuke-kun!" Sakura roared inside her mind as her nails could draw blood from the fury she was feeling. "It's that demons fault this happen! I just know it! CHA!" Inner Sakura cursed with hatred as the regular Sakura agreed completely.
Completely unaware of Sakura's double inner conflict, Iruka continued. "Team Nine is still the same as they are still activity, and finally the last team is Team Ten is consist of Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka and Chōji Akimichi." He concluded the team placements.
Ino's face instantly paled when she heard who her new teammates were. "No! Not Food boy and the lazy bum! Why!?" She then complained in her head as she also slam her hands in her head and desperately trying to stop herself from screaming it out, after all she really didn't want to make Iruka mad like Sakura did. While the rest of Team Eight didn't really mind or care about the team placements.
"These are all the teams, I'll be right back with your designated Jonin sensei, who will be here soon to pick each of their teams the moment I get back." Iruka informed the class and they all started to talk among themselves as he began to leave the class, but just when he was about to open the door he turned and gave his former students a proud smile. "I have one last thing I would like to say to all of you." He began and gained the attention of everyone. "I am so proud of all of you for making this far and that I know your all have bright futures ahead of you." Iruka proudly said as he then frown as he reach a certain pink haired Genin. "Except a few exceptions. . ." He muttered that part while glancing at Sakura. "And I wish you all luck with your lives as shinobi of Konoha, serve your village and be proud of being shinobis." He then opened the door and exited through it.
At that moment, multiple females besides a still depressed and angry Sakura and Ino went over to Naruto.
Naruto blinked a couple of times to the girls coming towards him as he realized what was about to happen. "Ah crap this isn't gonna end well." He thought with a pale face.
Kyūbi meanwhile was laughing up a storm within the seal. "The troubles of showing off the way you did and showing your maturity." He advised.
"So Naruto. . ." One of the girls then suddenly started.
"Uh. . .yeah?" Naruto replied, confused and nervous at the looks the oncoming females were giving him as he gave a few glances of Satsuki, who said girl still had the same act of Sasuke but he could feel the anger radiating off her. "Dammit. . .the fox just had to be right. . ." He thought while said fox only chuckled as he heard his thoughts.
"What made you decide to change your look?" Another girl asked in a seductive tone and gave Naruto the best sexy look a girl of twelve could make.
Before Naruto could even think of a reply, he was soon getting bombarded with even more questions and compliments from the girls all around him, Sasuke's eye twitched at the hypocrisy of his fangirls. "Those hypocrites! They would hound me just because I'm an Uchiha! But now that Naruto-kun is finally wearing nice clothes that made his good looks shine, there are now after him now!" She thought with female fury
Kiba and Shino reluctantly sat next to Sakura to have a discussion with her new teammate interrupt the conversation that they tried to make. "Don't talk to me. . ." She simply said as she made it very clear that she didn't want to even talk to them, this made Kiba growl in annoyance and Shino said nothing and they both decided to just wait for their new sensei to come.
Sasuke then stood up and went over to Hinata. "An Uchiha and a Hyuga. . .this is an interesting set up, even if we are with the dobe." He remarked with slight amusement. While on the inside, Satsuki was ecstatic at this result. "Now I can help Hinata-chan get closer to Naruto-kun and vice versa! Sweet!" She thought in excitement over this development.
Hinata meanwhile had recovered from the momentary fury as she was now giving a weak glare at the girls around Naruto, but when she heard Sasuke, she gave out a surprised yelp and turn towards him. "H-Hai. . .Sasuke-san. . ." She timidly replied as her sight returned back towards her favorite blond. "D-Do you think he'll be alright?" She then asked, already going back to her normal, shy self as she clearly showed her worry for their blond teammate.
Sasuke shrugged his shoulder. "Dobe will be fine. Better then me getting hounded by my former fan girls. . .except Sakura and Ino. . ." He explained his piece with complete indifference, but on the inside. . ."SO CUTE!" Satsuki meanwhile squealed at how adorable Hinata was acting, all the while fighting the urge to hug the girl to death and instantly wanting to be friends with her.
One of the girls began to smell Naruto's scent as gave a lust filled expression. "Your hair smells really good Naruto-kun. . ." She said as they all began to approach him even more, wanting to smell him.
Naruto was really starting to panic at the looks of the girls were giving him. "What that heck is wrong with them!?" He panicked inside of his mind. "Is this what Satsuki-chan goes through as Sasuke!?" He added.
The Bijū was holding back a roaring laughter when he heard Naruto asked that. "You kit have now discovered the horror of what is known far and wide. . .the horror known as Fangirls!" He declared with seriousness as he then began to laughing his ass off.
"STOP LAUGHING AND HELP ME DATTEBAYO!" Naruto roared back in a panic to which was only replied with even more laughter.
Unfortunately, the Bijū only continued to laugh at his host misery. "Your problem!" The Kyūbi replied.
This made Naruto to panic even more as one of the girls began to get a bit too close for his comfort. "Want to get some ramen with me after introductions?" Another seductively purred out.
This instantly made all the girls to begin to glare daggers at each other. "HE'S MINE!" They then tried to grab onto Naruto as if he was an item.
"OH SHIT!" Naruto yelled as he got out of their grips as he jumped with a chakra enhanced jump and used a kunai to held himself onto the ceiling, right above Hinata.
Then all of a sudden, Naruto felt a wave of knowledge onto his brain.
Just a few moments ago. . .
The remaining clones that were still practicing their jutsus were glaring at each other. Why you asked? Well. . .
"We'll totally finish training before you dattebayo!" The lead Air Bullet faction clone declared in a confident manner. "Yeah!" The rest of his faction yelled in agreement.
"Like hell! We'll be the one to do it!" The lead Shadow Clone faction restored. "Hell Yeah!" His faction yelled.
"No! We will!" The Beast Wave Palm faction leader roared. "Yeah!" His factions roared.
"Not if we finished it first!" The dirt cover lead of the Mud Wall Faction said with complete confidence. "That's right!" His faction declared.
"Then I guess. . ." The lead Air Bullet leader began.
"There's only one way. . ." The lead Shadow Clone leader followed up.
"To decide. . ." The lead Beast Wave Palm faction leader stated.
"Who will win. . ." The Mud Wall Faction leader continued.
"A competition!" They all then roared in unison as they then went at one another with the pride of their jutsus they were assign to practice. "For our pride of our jutsus!" They all added in a fierce roar.
This massive, yet very stupid competition only last a few minutes as they were already wasted to much chakra from their earlier training and then they all burst in smoke when they reach their limit.
Back with our favorite blond. . .
The memories of the very stupid competition alongside their previous training knowledge came rushing in this head. "Shit. . .I'm going to murder those idiots. . ." He thought as his already dizzy mind could process.
"They're all you idiot. . ." The demon fox then reminded with a witty smirk.
Naruto groaned as his brain finally reach its limit and he let got of the kunai that held him onto the roof. "SHIT!" He cried out as he fell down. . .right above Hinata. "LOOK OUT!" He warned.
Instantly hearing the warning, the Hyuga looked upwards. "Nar-" That was all Hinata was able to get out before the two crashed.
There was a grave like silence that you could hear a pin if you had drop it, but the sound of all the students jaws dropping would do just fine.
"Oh. . .my. . .kami. . ." Satsuki thought while Sasuke looked on with a raised eyebrow.
The guys were shocked at at the scene while the fangirls had their hearts shattered at the sight. "NOOOOOO!" They all yelled in horror.
Naruto groan in pain, more so from his throbbing headache than anything else. "What happen. . .and why do I smell lavender?" He thought to himself, then he heard a muffled 'eep' this instantly made his eyes widen as he look down.
What he saw was that he was on top of an atomic red Hinata and that he was holding her hands on their wrists holding her at bay. And to top it all out their lips were connected to each other, when Naruto finally process it he open his mouth while still kissing and this made their tongue touch each other. This of course made the already red Hinata gain a undiscovered shade of red to cover her entire body while Naruto also joining in this blushing competition.
Sasuke meanwhile looked on, resisting a blush of his own as he saw the two separate. "Lucky, Hinata-chan got his first kiss." Satsuki thought while pouting in her mind before her eyes widen in realization. "AGAIN!?" She panicked.
Naruto finally got over his initial shock as he felt back his tongue from Hinata's as he got off the blushing girl. "S-Sorry Hinata-chan. . ." Naruto muttered as he got off her as he held out his hand to help her up. "OH CRAP I KISSED HINATA-CHAN!" He thought in a panic.
The Kyūbi meanwhile whistled at the whole exchange. "Score one for the kit!" He then remarked in satisfaction.
"Shut it fuzzbutt!" Naruto retorted to his tenant as his face was still blushing while trying desperately to not think of either the kiss or the tongue action.
"I-It's alright N-Naruto-kun. . ." Hinata muttered out in a dazed tone as her brain was still not able to process what had just happen or she would had already fainted or more likely gain a roaring nosebleed from the spit exchange she did with her crush.
The she stood up with Naruto's help and faced the rest of the class that was silently staring at the two. "Mmm. . .curry. . ." She muttered, still in a daze while she licking her lips and secretly liking the kiss, unaware of what she was saying, had she been aware she would had already fainted.
"H-Hinata-chan!?" Naruto exclaimed in confusion as he was able to hear what she muttered.
"Holy crap. . ." Kiba got out, still putting together what had just happened in his head. Once he finally processed it, he had to hold back his jealousy. "Why does the dobe get the ladies!?" Was all he could think off.
Shino only look on with his normal calm self, but he did raised a single eyebrow at what had just happened.
Shikamaru open one of his eyes slightly as he saw everything. "Troublesome. . ." Was all he could comment as he then close it.
Chōji had stopped eating and had a shock but confused expression, once that pass he continued eating.
"T-They kissed. . ." Ino barely said as she and the other girls looked on at the sight. Ino then looked at Hinata and say that she was licking her lips in what appeared to be a seductive manner. "EH!?" She then exclaimed in her head.
The fangirls meanwhile began to wailed at the sight while crying tears of jealousy.
Back with Naruto and Hinata, there was awkwardly quiet for a moment between the two, when Naruto was about to ask if she was ok. . .
"NARUTO-BAKA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO HINATA YOU PERVERT!? I SHOULD POUND YOU INTO DUST FOR THAT!" Sakura yelled out as she tried to punch him into the ground.
This instantly made Naruto to regain his focus as he grabbed her fist, this made Sakura look at him with shock as she had believed she would had hit him like always, then Naruto glared at her. "It was is obvious to all that was an accident, but regardless of that, I had already apologized to her for what happened." He began to explain in a serious manner, but when he saw Sakura glared and was about to shout at him again he slightly push her back to stop her, but still not letting her go.
"Oh boy. . ." Satsuki thought as Sasuke watched the display, not knowing where this was leading.
"You know something, I had always tried to stay calm whenever you open your mouth, but seriously, shut the hell up already! I'm pretty damn sure that every one of the other hidden villages and the dead could hear you! Now don't go and mettle on other people's affairs as I really don't know why you should come and tried to when this is obviously a TEAM SEVEN matter." He told the pink haired genin as he then threw her fist away and walked off. The pink haired banshee rub her sore hand then was about to yell at the blond, but when she saw the Naruto turn his head she received a very intense stare from him and she felt danger, so with anger and fear she began to walk back to her desk as she continued glaring at him. Naruto then just turn back again and continued to walk. "I'm going to the bathroom." He said as he reached the door, once he got out he slam it behind him.
Everyone else soon looked on with baffled expression while the fangirls had hearts in their eyes.
At the Hokage office. . .
Sarutobi looked on in his crystal ball and saw Naruto outburst at Sakura as well as his accidental kiss with Hinata and then he saw the way the many girls looking at Naruto, he could only sigh at that. "Minato, your son is going to get a harem at this rate. . ." He muttered as he continued to watch.
Back to inside the class. . .
Sasuke sighed as he then looked at the class. "Guess I have to go check on the dobe, since my other so call teammate is to daze." He stated as he left the room.
The rest of the class could only watch the rookie of the year also leave the class while said teammate was still in a daze and could only think of a certain blond's lips.
While Sasuke was heading to the bathroom with his normal indifferent expression, but on the inside Satsuki was furious over what had happened. "THAT KAMI DAMNED PINK HAIRED BITCH! HOW DARE SHE SAY THOSE THINGS TO NARUTO-KUN LIKE THAT!?" She roared while trying desperately not to show it on the outside. "I HOPE THAT I'LL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN!" She then added.
Soon, Sasuke finally arrived at the bathroom he entered it while wondering if Naruto was alright. Satsuki didn't mind going into the boy's bathroom since she disguised herself as a boy for most of her time at the academy that she was already used to entering the male bathroom. When he entered, he saw Naruto washing his faces. "Dobe." He said.
This made Naruto to turn towards his new teammate and gave a sad smile as he was happy to see his new friend, even if she was in her disguise. "Hey teme." Naruto replied, he knew that he couldn't risk saying anything that could endangered Satsuki's secret, as he then took a paper towels to clean the water. After a moment, he sighed. "Jeez, I can't believe I let Sakura get to me like that." He muttered.
Satsuki also knew what Naruto was doing so she played along as well. "Just forget it. She's not worth feeling guilty over." Sasuke replied with annoyance in his tone.
Naruto merely sighed again to that. "I mean after all the times she beat me up and the abuse from the village, how could I not snap?" He stated with much strain anger in his tone.
"Abuse?" Sasuke asked, this being the first hearing about this. "What do you mean by abuse?" He asked with narrow eyes.
"Shit. . ." Naruto thought in realization of the slip of his tongue. "Look, I'll tell you one of these days, just not now. . .alright?" He then requested thought he had already requested it back at Satsuki's home, he still had to say it again.
Satsuki was mad that his new friend requested the same thing again but she had to play along. "I'll take your word for it." Sasuke headed out of the bathroom then he took a deep breath. "Better get back, I saw some jonin coming in after I left the classroom." He then stated.
Naruto nodded as he and Sasuke headed out back to the classroom, not before getting one last punch at the wall, leaving a large dent at the restroom wall. "Anger management at it's best." He with a grin as he then ran pass Sasuke and back towards the classroom.
While Satsuki looked at the blond entering the classroom, she couldn't help but frown in her mind. "What did you go through in your life Naruto-kun?" She depressingly thought. Sasuke soon reentered to see an open spot next to blushing Hinata and with Naruto on the other side of her. This made Satsuki giggle internally as she couldn't help but find that reaction adorable. Sasuke then went to the open seat and sat down.
No sooner Sasuke did so the door open and they all saw a group of Jonin along with Iruka. "These are your sensei, they are all Jonin Rank shinobi that will be training each of the teams that were selected." He informed the new Genin.
First some regular looking jonin came and picked up their students, then came the jonin that looked different from the others, first was a woman with red eyes and a unique outfit. The woman briefly look at the young shinobi's as her eyes fell to a certain blushing Hyuga. "Hinata. . ." She mumbled out with sadness as memories of this morning began to filled her mind.
Flashback no Jutsu!
Just a few hours before the team meeting. . .
Both Kakashi and Kurenai were called by the Hokage as they waited patiently for what it was that their leader wish to talk to them. "Kakashi, Kurenai, there is something about the team placement I wish to discuss with you. Although I had already discussed this with Kakashi, I now will tell you about my decision." He stated to the newest female Jonin.
This made Kurenai be slightly startled. "What is this about Hokage-sama?" She asked. While Kakashi didn't say a word as he knew what this was about.
The age Hokage close his eyes as he began to think of how he should start this. "I have decided to change two of your students with the other team." He began.
This made Kurenai's eyes widen in startlement. "Um. . .w-which one sir?" She asked as she pleaded to kami it wasn't who she think it was.
Hiruzen could easily tell that Kurenai already figure who was going to be exchange, but he decided to say it anyway. "I had decided to change Sakura Haruno and Hinata Hyuga." He declared with complete seriousness.
Kurenai's eyes turn into shock from confirming her fears. "M-May I ask why? This team was specifically made for tracking, if you change even one it will made this team null and void on its purpose." She asked as she made a last ditch effort to convince the Hokage to keep Hinata on her team.
Kakashi then lazily raised a hand. "Since I had already agree with this decision can I just leave. . .again?" He asked
Hiruzen sighed to this, exactly knowing the real reason behind Kurenai's reaction while nodding to Kakashi and the silver haired Jonin gave an eye smile as he left vis smokeless Shushin. This made him sigh again as he turn towards Kurenai. "I realized that the possible results of the current team lineup would have resulted with drastic consequences." He began to explain.
"Drastic consequences? What do you mean sir?" Kurenai asked, not understanding what her leader meant.
"Explain to me this Kurenai, how do you think Team Seven would have been if Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno were one unit?" The Hokage then questioned.
Kurenai held her chin in her hand as she thought it over. "Most likely there will be friction." She deduced as she had heard some of what had happened between the three from Hinata, but she still didn't saw the logic in this for the exchange.
Hiruzen nodded to that. "Yes that is correct and I at first I agreed with Hinata being in this unit for the earlier purpose of being a tracker unit specialist. But now I realized that I do not think that will happen as soon as I hope." He began to elaborate.
This made Kurenai felt slightly insulted, but she kept it inside as she knew she couldn't sound disrespectful in front of their leader. "What are you implying exactly?" She then questioned trying desperately sound as composed as possible.
Hiruzen could easily detect the animosity inside of female Jonin. "While I do not question your skills nor you abilities and I do know that with time Hinata may improve under your watch." He began.
This made Kurenai to calm down as he could feel the complete honesty in the Hokage's tone. "Then why sir?" She asked.
"The reason is simple, there is one thing that even if you wanted to help to improve you still would be able to and you should know why Hinata would need a longer time to improve don't you?" The old Hokage stated.
This made Kurenai narrow her eyes as she knew exactly what he meant. After all how couldn't she? She had been with her for a long time and she saw most of her life when she did come to visit her at her home. "Though I do care for Hinata and may help her improve her skills as a kunoichi, I can't help her improve her confidence as one. . .is that it?" She then deducted.
The elder Hokage nodded in response to that. "Correct. While I concluded that she may improve her confidence if she is place on Team Seven. You may be asking yourself 'why?' correct?" He soon asked.
Kurenai immediately nodded in response as part of the answer became clear to her. "It's because of Uzumaki isn't it?" She deduced as she couldn't help but smile at how Hinata would always act whenever she was in the presence of the blond.
Hiruzen smile as he saw that this was for the best for the girl she cared for. "In a sense, that is correct. Naruto-kun should help bring up her confidence greatly being on the same team with one another." He informed her. "I also researched Sakura Haruno, learning that she is more of a genjutsu type like yourself and she needs a female role model like yourself so that she could improve in her demeanor." He then advised.
Kurenai began to gave some serious thought to everything that was said and the reasoning that were given very carefully and after a while she gave the Hokage a nod. "Very well, I understand and will accept this decision." She responded with a sad smile.
Kai!
Back to the present time. . .
Kurenai looked at Hinata with her eyes for another moment as could only smiled sadly as she could see both the happiness and the small confidence boost she gained just by being next to Naruto. "I guess this really is for the best. . ." She concluded that the exchange of students was really is for Hinata's sake and was now completely convince that Hinata should be in this team.
Kurenai then regain her composure as he gave a professional look. "Team Eight come with me." She then ordered as Kiba, Shino and Sakura walked down and followed her out the door with Sakura giving one last look of longing towards Sasuke whom only ignored her very existence before glaring at Hinata and Naruto.
Then a man with tan skin who was smoking a cigarette stepped forward. "Team Ten come on." Ino, Shikamaru and Chōji left with the man
And so one by one, each of the sensei's called out to their genins and left, leading to Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata were the only three left along with Iruka.
Soon an hour passed and still no one showed up, but unfortunately Iruka had to leave as he had to some business to take care of..
Naruto was soon laying on the desk with a very annoyed expression on his face. "Where the hell is our sensei?" He then asked, starting to get a little irritated. "We been waiting for a whole hour!" He shouted while he scratched his head with much frustration.
Hinata shyly looked at the blond. "H-He should've been here by now. . ." She meekly got out as she then blushed dark red when she recalled what had happen. "I still can't believe it! I was kissed by Naruto-kun!" She happily thought as she hid her face behind her hands.
"Hn. . .He'll get here soon enough. . ." Sasuke grunted out with mild irritation. On the inside however Satsuki was ready to blow a gasket. "Where the heck is that sensei of ours!? This guy doesn't seem reliable, whoever he is if he late a whole hour!" Satsuki thought with anger.
Soon another two hours had passed and it was obvious to all that Naruto had already blown a gaskets. . .multiple times by now. While Sasuke was twitching every so often as he was clearly wanting to hit something. . .with excessive force. And Hinata was still waiting patiently like an angel, though inwardly, she was also starting to get annoyed as her nearly infinite patience was almost at its end.
Naruto was shivering with uncontrollable anger as a result. "Three. . .Three. . .fucking. . .HOURS!" He then roared with fury.
"KAMI DAMMIT!" Satsuki roared in complete agreement on the inside, while Sasuke merely slammed his head against the table.
Hinata simply nodded with slightly annoyance on her face. "This is hardly appropriate for a sensei to be this late." She commented, now she can forgive mostly anything, but she was taught at a young age to always be potential to anything so even her patience was at its end.
Naruto grown at the increasing frustration as then suddenly, a spark of inspiration came to Naruto as he looked at the entrance of the door and smiled mischievously.
"This is going to be humorous. . ." The Kyūbi merely remarked with a chuckle.
Naruto could only chuckle at the fox comment as he created a few shadow clones. The clones simply nodded with a evil grin on each of their faces as they already knew what the original wanted, then they all jumped out the window.
Both Sasuke and Hinata watch this with confused expression on their faces. "N-Naruto-kun? Where are they going?" Hinata timidly asked as she tap her index fingers together while Sasuke was wondering the same thing.
Naruto's smile didn't go away as he looked at his Hyuga teammate. "Ooooh I just have a little thank you present for our sensei for making us wait." He vaguely stated.
Sasuke only sighed at this. "We're going to get in trouble for this. . ." He commented in an not so convincing way, while on the inside Satsuki was cheering like a crazy person. "YES! GET A PRANK READY! THIS GUY DESERVES THIS FOR MAKING US WAIT!" She begged without anyone hearing it.
"I-I don't know about this. . ." HInata fearfully stated, sure she was annoyed at their new sensei for being late but she still didn't want to disrespect said new sensei.
As if reading her thoughts Naruto grinded at her. "Hey! If the new sensei is this late I think he deserves some punishment don't you think?" He stated/asked the shy girl.
Satsuki meanwhile was grinning widely on the inside as she was fully onboard with this. "Hell yeah!" She thought as Sasuke only shrugged in response. "I guess so. . ." He simple said with indifference.
This made Hinata to widen her eyes in surprised at the Uchiha's replied as she would had thought he would had either ignore everything or say something against it, but seeing that they both agreed she wanted to side with her new teammates decision. "Well. . .he did made us wait three hours and I do guess he does deserve some sort of punishment. . ." She timidly agreed.
Upon hearing the timid girl's answer, Naruto's grin doubled in size. "Alright! Let make that lazy ass sensei get what's coming to him dattebayo!" He cheered.
The two teammates gave a much less cheered comparison to their blond teammate, but they were still fully onboard with this. No sooner this happen the clones returned with two of them holding a large pail as it sagged with something heavy while they were clearly having difficulty holding them.
"You going to explain what you've got in those dobe?" Sasuke then asked with a raised eyebrow while Satsuki was really curious and excited with what the blond had in mind.
"Hehe, let's just say that he's gonna need a long shower after this since this is going to get bit dirty." Naruto stated with a shit eating grin on his face.
His teammates looked at him with a confused expression as they didn't understand what he meant by that. "W-what do you mean Naruto-kun?" Hinata timidly ask.
Naruto didn't stop grinning as he signaled his clones to the door of the room. "You'll see Hinata-chan." He simply said as said girl blushed at being called chan again. Then when the clones dumped the content of the sag they disappeared. Naruto gave one last evil smiled as he did a few hand seals. "Now then. . .it's pranking time dattebayo!" He declared in excitement
At that moment, the door opened and Kakashi stepped through, he then started to chuckle as he waved to his new team. However when he stepped forward to fully enter the room. . .
"Sorry I'm late, I got lost on the road of life and. . ." Was all Kakashi could say.
"TIMBER!" Naruto declared.
No sooner he yelled, a massive wall of mud fell right on top of Kakashi and completely bury him as only the top part of his silver hair could be seen.
This made Naruto began to laugh his ass off while the Kyūbi join him inside of the seal. "Oh man! That was hilarious!" He roared.
"Nice one!" Kyūbi agreed while he continued to laugh.
"O-oh my. . ." Hinata got out as a giggle attack took hold of her.
Sasuke only smirk at what had happen, while Satsuki joined Naruto in laughing but internally. "That was genius!" She thought to herself.
Kakashi's head manage to get out of the massive mudslide. "This is. . ." He muffled out as he spat some of it out of his mouth through his mask before sighing. "A punishment for being late isn't?" He then guessed with a sweatdrop.
The trio stopped when they heard that and then looked at each other for a moment and then continued to laugh and giggle like before.
Kakashi then gave a deadpan expression to the trio. "I'll take that as a yes then. . ." He got out as he looked at the laughing blond. "He reminds me so much of Obito that it's a bit frightening. . ." He thought to himself as a sweatdrop fell from his head.
"You made us wait, you get a face full of mud dattebayo!" Naruto proudly stated. "Just be glad I didn't decide to go to the bathrooms and get shit instead." He added.
Kakashi just sigh as he saw that this prank was a decision the group made together so he couldn't say the 'I hate you' comment he wanted to say. "Meet me at the roof in ten minutes." Kakashi said as he then did a handsign and disappeared in a puff of smoke as the mud fell down.
Naruto began to finally calm down as he took a deep breath. "Man! That was satisfying! Serves him right for making us wait!" Naruto commented with a big grin on his face.
Hinata had finally stopped her giggle attack as she wiped a tear from to much giggling. "T-That was really funny Naruto-kun." She said with a small gliggle or two escaping her lips.
"Hn. . .You finally did something useful." Sasuke commented with a small smirk. "Awesome job Naruto-kun!" Satsuki thought with much happiness.
"We better clean this up." Hinata comment as she saw the huge pile of mud.
"Let the dobe handle it. It's pretty much obvious that he has an advance clone jutsu to use and it's his fault to begin with." Sasuke stated with his hands in his pockets as he walked out of the room.
"Fair enough." Naruto simply said as he did as he was told and made some clones and they began to clean up, all the while the clones were nagging about a lazy ass boss.
With that, the trio then headed to the roof where their very dirty sensei was waiting.
The Hokage sighed as he watched the entire event play out, he'd had clearly was expecting the blond to pull a prank the way he easily got annoyed and having him wait three hours was asking the sun not to go around the planet. "He. . .really did bring this one upon himself." He admitted as he continued to watch the three, already knowing the ANBU members were on standby to pick up both Naruto and Sasuke afterwards.
On the roof of the academy. . .
Naruto, Hinata and Sasuke had finally arrived where their sensei was waiting for them. They sat on the steps as Kakashi leaned on the railing. Sasuke was doing his usual brooding, Hinata was playing with her fingers while ever so often stealing some glances from her crush, while said crush was leaning lazily onto his back, watching the clouds.
On the inside of the seal, we could hear the Bijū's snoring while he mumbles about girls and their assets, much to the dismay of his host since he had to heard them.
"So, who wants to start introductions?" Kakashi asked curiously.
This instantly gain the frustrated blond's attention. "What kind of introduction?" Naruto then asked.
Kakashi lazily shrugged his shoulders. "You know your likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams for the future, and favorite sexual position." He listed off carelessly.
Naruto soon started choking on some spit, Hinata's face turned crimson red while Sasuke's face was mildly flushed, but on the inside she was both embarrassed and pissed at her new sensei. "WAIT! What was that last one!?" Naruto coughed out while Sasuke and Hinata blushed madly at what he said.
Back at the Hokage Tower, Hiruzen Sarutobi slapped his face onto his desk. . .hard, in annoyance at what he he had just heard. "KAKASHI!" He screamed out, causing his paperwork to fall over after sorting out nicely after doing it for ten hour straight. He twitched three time as he looked at all the paper scattered on the ground. "FFFUUUU-"
Kakashi smirked beneath his mask. "Whatever do you mean?" He commented as if didn't had a clue what the blond meant, while the three genin just looked at him with a sweatdrop.
This had woken up the Kyūbi as he gave off a perverted grin at the mention of the last bit.. "I prefer the downward dog style! Or in my case, the downward fox!" He declared.
"SHUT UP!" Naruto roared back in his mind with a deep blush on his face.
Hinata face was still nuclear red as she took a quick glance at the embarrassed blond haired boy before her blush became even deeper crimson.
"D-Did he seriously ask that!?" Satsuki exclaimed as she felt dizzy at the thought of being in a sexual position. That was when an image of her. . .fantasies, began to gathered in her head. . .the same one from after Naruto hugged her. "W-Whipped cream. . ." She mumbled out with her head the same shade of red as Hinata's.
When none of his students spoke up, he decided to be the first one to break the ice. "Okay, I'll go first then. My name is Kakashi Hatake. I have many likes and dislikes, my goals in life are none of your business, I've got lots hobbies, but mostly I like to read."
The three sweat-dropped at his introduction. "So all we got is his name. . ." They thought simultaneously.
"Lame." The Kyūbi deadpanned. "And he's that damned Fourth's student. . ." He then thought to himself.
Seeing that the trio still didn't spoke Kakashi decided the pecking order. "Alright then," He began as he gain the trio's attention once more before he then pointed towards Hinata. "Your first little mouse." He joked.
Hinata gulped while blushing as she began to think of what to say, after a moment or two she was more or less ready. "M-My name is H-Hinata H-Hyuga." She introduced herself as she tried to calm her nerves down. "M-My likes include m-my teammates, c-cinnamon buns, m-my family," She continued as she snecked a glance at Naruto. "and a c-certain boy." She added with a whispered that was barely heard. "My dislikes a-are rapists, k-kidnappers, K-Kumo, and bullies." She stated as a gain a small shivered at remembering all of the bad experiences, but she quickly recovered. "M-my h-hobbies are f-flower pressing, a-and reading. My dream. . .is to unite m-my family and. . .be w-with a c-certain boy. . ." She stuttered out as her face had a red flushed expression..
Kakashi nodded as he looked on. "Not a bad introduction, but we'll have to work on her confidence." He thought.
Naruto was blushing as he remembered the accident that happened earlier but he then calmed down as he felt really bad. "Man. . .Was I stupid. . .Here was such a nice girl I could had get along with and I wasted all that time with Sakura. . ." He thought to himself.
Upon hearing this, Kyūbi sighed as he knew why his host felt like that, he then gave a calm yet serious expression. "Give it time kit, the Hyuga's been infatuated with you for years since you unintentionally helped her twice." He stated.
"Huh? When did I ever do that?" Naruto asked, not understanding what the Bijū meant by that.
Kyūbi gave another sigh to that, but this one of annoyance. "You'll find out later. . ." He said with much annoyance in his tone. "Besided. . .I bet certain lavender eyes should be the one to tell the idiot." He thought to himself with a chuckle.
Naruto raised an eyebrow but decided not to pressed the matter.
Sasuke meanwhile looked at her and smirked. "Not bad, maybe if she ever find out the truth about me, we may become could be friends and maybe even best friends." Satsuki thought, wanting another friend but more so a female best friend.
"Alright then," Kakashi began as he then pointed towards Sasuke. "Your turn ducky." He then casually ordered still with the same joking tone.
Sasuke gave an annoyed look at the mention of how his hair style is before looking up and sighed. "I don't even like this hair style! I prefer my long hair over this short one as Sasuke!" Satsuki declared in her mind with complete annoyance as Sasuke looked slightly offended. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I have a few hobbies including reading, and training. I like learning new jutsu and a certain person." He declared while inside of his head, Satsuki blushed at remembering a certain blond. But not wanting to look strange in front of the others, Sasuke continued. "I strongly dislike fan girls as they are disgraces to what it means to be a kunoichi and won't leave me alone. My dream is to bring in a certain man in for justice and restoring my clan." He stated. "Though. ..not in the way many would think. . ." Satsuki thought as her imagination started going wild again, this time her thinking of being a mother and having a very kinky wife foreplay. But she quickly put a halt to it or risk showing everyone seeing Sasuke blushing like Hinata. "I really can't wait to reveal my true self. . .I frickin' Satsuki Uchiha dammit! Not some duck butt haired prick!" She added in even more annoyance.
Kakashi looked on, keeping his cool demeanor. "Interesting, seems Naruto has had a bit of an affect on Satsuki already." He thought as he didn't find out about the little episode that Satsuki almost got. "Alright then," He then turned to Naruto. "Your last sunshine." He stated with the same tone as before.
Naruto grew a tick mark on his forehead before shaking his head and grinning widely when he started his introduction. "The name's Naruto Uzumaki. My hobbies include training, pulling pranks, and meeting new people. I like ramen and getting to know more about two certain girls." He began.
Hinata blushed heavily at the thought of her being one of those two girls that he wants to get to know more about. but then she quickly calmed down as he full processed what her crushed said. "Though I do wonder who the other girl was, it can't be Sakura-san. . ." She thought with confusion.
Meanwhile, Sasuke had a small smirk behind his hands while for Satsuki, she lost all of her previous annoyance as she felt light headed. "T-there's no way that Naruto-kun is talking about me. . .could he?" She thought, only to blush scarlet at the thought of being in a very intimate relationship. "B-But it's still so quick! I-I mean he's handsome as hell, b-but I. . ." She trailed off as she then became more flustered and embarrassed from the possible yet very lewd thoughts that began to form in her head. "N-Naruto-kun. . .I. . .I can't be. . ." She she tried to convince herself, but was become more and more unsure of herself.
Unaware of what his new teammates were thinking, Naruto continued. "I don't like arrogant people who think they're above or superior to others, nor do I like people that judge others without knowing them, but what I really hate are people who would hurt those close to me. And my goal in life is to become the Hokage so people will respect me, but. . ." He declared proudly as he then closed his eyes and then slowly open them when the three around him looked at the strong, protective and courage's filled eyes. "I want to be strong to protect those precious to me." He concluded with conviction and strength as Hinata and Satsuki smiled at how Naruto think very fondly at his cherished people and would grow strong just to protect them.
Inside of the seal the Kyūbi was resting on top of his paws as he had a small yet proud smile on his face at the words his host gave with passion. "Looks like I was right about a human. . .for once. . ." He thought to himself.
Kakashi eye-smiled at his introduction."He's more like them that I could had ever imagen. . ." He thought with much happy yet sad tone. But he quickly stopped himself or he would get lost in the past. . .again. "Alright then, now that introductions are done, let's talk about our first exercise." He then stated.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow in confusion, not really understanding what their new sensei meant by that. "Being?" He then asked.
Kakashi gave another eye-smile to that. "Hoping you asked that, simply. . .Survival training." He plainly stated.
This made Hinata tilted her head slightly in equal confusion as her teammate. "B-But didn't w-we already do the training during the academy?" She questioned.
Kakashi nodded. "You did, but it will be different this time around as I will be your opponent." He stated gaining the trios attention to that. "Each of the new Genin teams are all doing something similar with their senseis. Your graduation test was so you could receive your headband and this survival training is to see if you have the right to keep them. . ." He declared with absolute seriousness in his tone.
The three gulped at this realization and they each gain either a nervous look or had a cold sweat ran down their face.
"Calm down, it will be something simple." Kakashi replied. "You'll meet me at training ground seven tomorrow at five o'clock for your test." He instructed.
Naruto dropped his head to that reveal. "It's in the morning isn't it?" He stated more than asked as he really wasn't a morning person.
Kakashi eye-smiled again. "On the mark kid. Also, I suggest you don't eat breakfast, you'll puke if you do. See you then." He then advised as he suddenly exploded in white dense smoke, leaving the three on the roof.
The trio were left baffled as they were worried what kind of survival training will be.
Eventually, they all decided to head down the stairs and out of the academy.
While they were walking down the stair Hinata was looking a little worried. "Um. . ." She started, gaining the other two attention. "I better be heading home and get ready." She then added as she really wanted to spend more time with Naruto, but she knew she really had to get ready.
Upon hearing this, Naruto simply wave his hand in dismissal. "It's alright, I'll see ya tomorrow Hinata-chan. Oh and make sure you eat a good breakfast." Naruto suddenly said.
Hinata was utterly shocked at what her crush told her to do. "B-But Kakashi-sensei just-" She started.
"He was late to our meeting. . .for three hours, I seriously doubt that he's the type to actually arrive on time. So take advantage of that and come fully prepared." Sasuke explained. "That, and there's no way in hell I'm enduring waiting another three hours on an empty stomach!" Satsuki ranted in her mind.
On this explanation, made Naruto smirked. "As much as I hate to admit it, but the 'teme' is right," Naruto admitted with clearly fake dislike for the Uchiha. Then he turned and looked back to the shy Hyuga. "So like he said, be prepared for anything tomorrow." He added.
After thinking from her's new teammates statements for a moment, Hinata nodded her head in agreement. "A-Alright, I'll be sure to be fully prepared and I'll see you tomorrow." She replied as she shyly waved at Naruto and gave a formal bow to Sasuke, which annoyed Satsuki, as she soon started heading down the road that led her to the Hyuga compound, this left both Naruto and Sasuke by themselves at a street corner.
When they saw Hinata was finally out of sight, Naruto turn towards his remaining teammate. "Well, we better-" Was all that Naruto manage to say when three ANBU suddenly appeared in front of them, shocking the two genin for a moment. "What the!?" He thought as they both unconsciously got into their battle stances by pure instinct.
All three ANBU were completely unaffected nor even shown even a single reaction to this. "Hokage-sama has requested an audience with you two." The ANBU with the red hawk mask said.
Upon hearing this made both Genin's to drop their guards as they looked as each other in confusion. "For what exactly?" Sasuke calmly questioned as he raised an eyebrow. While Satsuki was really nervous, she liked the old man hokage, but she was always scared at going to his office because of the fear of her secret finally been found out. "Oh Kami, what's gonna happen? Did someone find out somehow?!" Satsuki thought in a panic.
"Top secret." The ANBU with the green grasshopper mask said.
Then the one with the yellow tiger mask stepped forward. "We were only told to bring you immediately." He stated as he and the one in the grasshopper masked one placed a hand on their shoulders, both kids sharing a look of concern before they disappear in a puff of smoke.
