Naruto
Angel of Darkness
Chapter I
"Even a blind man can see that Naruto is Minato-sensei's son. I want him on my team." said a tall man with short white gravity defying hair.
"Kakashi you will already be getting Sasuke, the council wants you to train Sasuke you are the only one who can train her when she gets her Sharingan." came the raspy voice of one Sarutobi Hiruzen Sandaime Hokage.
"To hell with the council." Kakashi said abruptly "Sasuke may be the last loyal Uchiha in Konoha but Naruto is the son of our Yondaime Hokage and my Sensei. I have been forced to stay out of Naruto's life up until this point and I refuse to let him go to someone who won't train him because of the Kyubi."
"Does this mean you'll actually pass your team this year?" Hiruzen asked.
"If they can prove they have what it takes to be shinobi then yes as long as I get to train Naruto." Kakashi replied.
"So be it I'll make the arrangements." Hiruzen said.
XxXOne week laterXxX
Naruto was sitting in his Normal seat beside Uchiha Sasuke, his best friend and rival. Now to most it seemed the relationship was one sided but to those that knew where to look and how to listen you could see the feeling was mutual between the two. Sasuke was doing like he usually did and ignored the female population of the class and stared out the window seemingly brooding, plotting his vengeance on his older brother for killing their clan and parents.
Naruto was talking with three other graduates; Shikamaru, Choji, and Kiba who were also part of Sasuke and Naruto's friend group. The five of them often trained together, in fact it was Shikamaru who discovered Naruto had too much chakra for the basic Bunshin no Jutsu. This discovery led to Naruto learning a more advanced clone jutsu called the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, though was given strict orders not to use it carelessly.
What no one knew at the time was that Naruto could create one thousand clones which was discovered during a training exercise when the five of them were testing their limits. Sasuke also had a secret that was only known by the Hokage and his friends, Sasuke was actually a girl.
"I WIN!" came the loud and sudden voices of both Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino, two of Sasuke's biggest fangirls and a constant headache for the raven haired Uchiha.
"No way Ino-pig I was at least a centimeter ahead of you." Sakura said.
"As if Billboard brow my two was in before you breached the threshold." Ino challenged.
The two girls continued to argue until Sakura abruptly ended the argument and moved to stand in the aisle next to Naruto and Sasuke's seats.
"Good morning Sasuke-kun." Sakura said sweetly as if her words were honey. "Move it Naruto I'm sitting next to Sasuke-kun."
"What a drag." Shikamaru said going to sit down somewhere not next to the headache known as Haruno Sakura.
Sakura was loud and thought that she was the best simply because she was smart. The truth was her scores on anything not written were lacking. Sakura was on a self imposed strict diet under the belief she didn't want to get fat to make herself more attractive to Sasuke, oh how little everyone knew about Sasuke.
Sasuke smiled sweetly letting just a little of her female self through with a look Naruto knew all too well. "Naruto let Sakura sit next to me, you're dragging me down just by sitting next to me."
And there it was, the look on Sakura's face was priceless. Sasuke wanted her to sit next to him. Naruto knew what Sasuke was doing and got up and moved his seat.
Sakura immediately turned to Ino and stuck her tongue out. "Take that Ino-pig I'm sitting next to Sasuke-kun."
Naruto knew that Sasuke had a devious mind Sasuke had a knack for pulling pranks just like Naruto though Sasuke's pranks were more devious and left mental scars not physical ones.
Before anything else could be said Umino Iruka walked into the classroom and walked to the front of the class with a clipboard in hand.
"Alright everyone I want to congratulate everyone for making it this far and graduating the academy. Now I want you all to remember your initial training and never forget what you fight for." Iruka said. "Now pay attention while I list off your teams as I will not repeat the list."
Naruto was listening for his name and prayed he would get a team he could work with.
"Team Seven will be Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, and Hyuga Hinata." Iruka said before being abruptly interrupted.
"What? But I was supposed to be on Sasuke-kun's team. I'm his soulmate." Sakura said loudly.
"Sakura the teams were approved by the Hokage. Each Team has been carefully pieced together to ensure that each team will be able to make it as a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf. Now please no more interruptions." Iruka explained to Sakura before continuing the list. "Team Eight will be Haruno Sakura, Aburame Shino, and Inuzuka Kiba. Lastly Team Ten will be Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Choji. Now your Jonin Squad Leaders will be here at one o'clock until then you are all dismissed, you are free to do as you wish."
"Sasuke-kun, let's go on a date while we wait." Sakura said.
"No." was all Sasuke said, rising from his seat and walking out the door.
Sakura slumped in her seat. Why did Sasuke allow her to sit next to him but deny her a date? Sakura was confused wasn't she good enough for Sasuke? She was smart, pretty, loyal, everything you would want in a partner. However Sakura was forgetting one thing, one very important thing, they lived in a ninja village. She was a shinobi and she lacked all the qualities of a good shinobi.
Naruto walked up to Sakura and stopped. "You'll never win his heart with the mindset you have now. Sasuke doesn't want a lover. He doesn't want a trophy wife, he wants an equal someone that he can rely on both on and off the battlefield we're shinobi Sakura. Remember that."
"But I'm the smartest girl in class." Sakura protested.
"And the physically weakest, with average marks in sparring. You're not acting like a shinobi Sakura, you act like a girl living in a fantasy." Naruto said.
With that Naruto left the academy leaving Sakura to think about her priorities in life.
A/N: Hey all Azrael here with a new story. I really enjoyed writing the Naruto and femSasuke Wings of a Butterfly and wanted to write another fic like it. Now This story will explore the possibility of Sakura getting with Sasuke but in the end Sasuke and Naruto will be the main pairing. Sakura's pursuit of Sasuke will teach her how to be a shinobi partner instead of a girl in a fantasy dream world. Anyway until next time Ja~ne.
