Animal_Genius: Yay! More chapters! Does that mean more reviews? *hint hint*

Sasuke: Hn.

Naruto and Animal_Genius: BE NICE.

Naruto: Review Please!

The next morning I went to class, a little more nervous than usual, as today we would be picking out groups, and I just hoped I wouldn't get anybody too annoying.

When I entered class, I was pleasantly surprised to see Naruto sitting there too.

"You passed?" I said excitedly, "Great job!"

Naruto nodded, proudly adjusting his headband. "That's right. I passed. Believe it!"

I grinned a little bit and went to my usual seat.

"As you all know," Iruka-sensei announced, "Today we'll sort you all into teams. Because there is an uneven number among you guys, one team will have four people.

"Team 7 is Naruto Uzumaki."

Naruto beamed proudly.

"Sakura Haruno."

Naruto cheered while Sakura spirits visibly sank.

"Sasuke Uchiha."

Sakura cheered loudly while Naruto slumped down on his desk.

"And Chitsuki Tsugime."

I turned to see how the other three reacted to me being on their team. Naruto looked happy enough, Sakura was analysing me, probably to see if I was any competition to her "dearest Sasuke," and Sasuke just appeared uninterested. Per usual.

As I kept listening, I fidgeted with the cloth around my neck, a habit I had gained.

Iruka-sensei continued on with the teams, Team 8 was Kiba Inuzuka and Amakaru, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuuga. Team 10 was Choji Akamichi, Ino Yamanaka, and Shikamaru Nara. Soon, we will be meeting our squad leaders.
