Team Allotment!
The next day Naruto heads to the academy with his headband on his head and walks into the classroom where he takes a seat next to Kiba.
Naruto had ditched his white t-shirt and orange pants, that he had wore from last 6 years. He was currently wearing black version of jounin uniform minus the jacket. The silver plate where Konoha-sigil was sewn to the left chest of his uniform.
"What are you doing here this place is for graduates only." Kiba states
"Take a look and tell me what you see." Naruto replied pointing to his arm.
"A hitaite but, where did you get it from did you steal it off someone?"
"No, I got this from Iruka sensei for kicking Mizuki's ass and that's all I can say." Naruto replied cheekily.
"Troublesome Naruto only you could pass in such a ridiculous way." Shikamaru mused "Anyways, can you tell me where did you get your hitaete sewn to your shirt. Tieing it everyday seems troublesome.
"Ehh... They customise it wherever you buy your uniform. Just show them your certification of being Ninja, and they will do it for you." Naruto informed.
"Con-congratulations Naruto-kun" Hinata whispers, but Naruto hears anyway.
"Thank you Hinata-chan" Naruto replies with a wink in her direction causing Hinata to blush.
Suddenly loud noises with footsteps were heard, and everyone found Ino and Sakura running in the class, all while arguing who was first and who will get the chance to sit with Sasuke-kun.
"Hn" Sasuke complained in his unique grunt language.
Naruto heard an smirked at Sasuke. He then slowly informed Sasuke so that no one else hears "That pink haired banshi will also be part of our team.
Hey! Sakura may have been his good friend in past life, but that was Sakura who had brains that didn't turn into mush as soon as Sasuke was mentioned. Plus that Sakura was a badass Kunoichi who had surpassed a sannin likes of Tsunade. The current one was screaming banshee and he would call her so.
Sasuke was annoyed as he learnt Sakura would also be on his team, though he was pleasantly surprised when he learnt Naruto would be on his team. Naruto had taught him many things and helped make him stronger, while taking care that he didn't go to path of Darkness like Itachi. He had come to see the blonde as family, not that he will ever say it aloud. He nodded his head and then was lost in his own world.
Naruto sighed as he saw Sasuke 'At least he is not brooding.' Even after taking many efforts, Uchiha Sasuke was still quite anti social. Instead of brooding about killing his brother, he would now think about all jutsus he knew and how to break it in diffrent parts, or how to manipulate I to be used differently. Naruto shook his head and looked at Iruka who had finished his speech and started to announce the teams.
"Alright class i'm assigning teams so, please pay attention" Iruka said.
"Team 7 will consist of Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha"
This causes a cheer from Sakura and shared nod between Naruto and Sasuke.
"Team 8 Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, and Kiba Inuzuka"
This causes a frown from Hinata who wanted to be on a team with Naruto, but was still happy because Kiba an Shino were allways good to her.
"Team 10 Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi, and Shikamaru Nara"
Ino groans for not being on the same team as Sasuke and being stuck with chubby Choji and Lazy Shikamaru who finds the situation to be troublesome.
" Alright your sensei's will be with you momentarily until then, i wish you good luck on your careers." Iruka declared.
Soon enough Asuma and Kurenai enter to take their respective teams away. Naruto sighed as soon as his eyes fell on red eyed beauty. She was allways beautiful, even in his past life when she had become a mother. 'Lucky Sarutobi' Naruto grumbled. He then remembered seeing sad expression on Kurenai's face when she visited Memorial stone. He vowed do his best to save Asuma this time around. His eye met Kurenai's and he blushed at being caught staring. Kurenai just smirked at him. He guiltily looked at Asuma who also had an amused expression on his face that was saying 'watch as much as you want, you won't ever get her'. He shooked his head a looked away grumbling 'Can't believe I blushed like some schoolgirl seeing their crush. I am an adult for God's sake.'
Both senseis took away their students Team 7 has to sit and wait for their sensei.
"Look like we will be in for a long wait since, Kakashi is notoriously late so we best get comfortable." Naruto informed.
"What do you mean Naruto?" Sakura asks
"I'm saying that the guy is so chronologically late, that everyone thinks he would be even late to his own funeral."
"Hn, it can't be that bad can it?'' Sasuke asked.
"Wait and see for yourselves while, i meditate." Naruto replied.
Naruto had allways liked meditating ever since he became a sage. But after coming back in time, he found that meditation also helped him in perfecting the manipulation of mokuton chakra. So he made habit to meditate, sometimes even for hours.
They waited 3 hours while, Naruto was doing his meditation with Sasuke even joining in at one point. Meanwhile, they are being observed from a distance by a one-eyed scarecrow known as Kakashi Hatake. When he felt ready, he made his presence known by walking through the classroom door.
"My first impression of you all is you are boring." Kakashi says getting glares from his team
"Meet me on the roof in 5 minutes." Kakashi says
They arrive on the roof 5 minutes later seeing Kakashi reading a porn book. This enrages Sakura, and annoys Sasuke, while Naruto is just smirking.
"Some things never changes." Naruto thought
"Now then how about we introduce ourselves along likes, dislikes, and dreams." Kakashi says
"Why don't you go first sensei and show us how it's done." Sakura gave her own input.
"Very well my name is Kakashi Hatake it have no real likes or dislikes and as for my dream well i don't have one."
"All we got was his name." Sakura thought
"Alright you go next blondie"
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, which Hokage-jiji told me, was taken from 'The Tales of Gutsy ninja' written by Jiraiya of the Sannin. I like my friends and ramen, I dislike people who abandon their comrades and how long it takes to make ramen, My dream is to be Hokage and protect everyone I hold dear. Though I also want to attempt the peace, which was mentioned by author in The Tales of Gutsy Ninja." Naruto introduced himself.
Kakashi was impressed, Sasuke was astonished at the intensity of last parts of happy introduction, whereas Sakura just made a face not understanding many of things Naruto said.
"Hmm impressive. Alright! pinkie your next."
"My name is Sakura Haruno, I like my ..(squeel).., and I dislike ino-pig, my hobby is to ...(squeel)..., my dream is ...(squeel)..." Sakura says with a blush and squeeling sound looking at Sasuke.
Sasuke was quite disturbed and shifted away from her, whereas Kakashi just sweatdropped "And finally the emo"
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, i don't have any particular likes or dislikes but, instead of a dream I have an ambition to kill a certain man if I get the chance, and to revive my clan." Sasuke says seriously.
Kakashi seriously thought 'It was as expected, a dreamer, a fangirl and a avenger. Though the intensity from Naruto did surprise me a bit.'
"Alright then tomorrow you will be taking your genin exam tomorrow at 5 am sharp and don't eat anything or you'll throw up." Kakashi states
"What do you mean sensei, didn't we already passed our exams?" Sakura says
"Those tests are to weed out the worthless of the bunch the real exam begins tomorrow."
With that Kakashi disappears with a body flicker leaving Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke on the roof.
"Sasuke-kun will you go on a date with me?" Sakura asked with heart in her eyes.
Sasuke made an annoyed face, whereas Naruto blanched 'Don't tell me I was this pathetic when I used to beg Sakura for dates.' He shook his head to shake the feeling of shame away.
Sasuke turned to Naruto and asked "Training at same time."
Naruto nodded and waved his hand as Sasuke and him dissappeared with sunshin.
