[Chapter 1: Enter Kitsune Hatake and Squad 7!]

The Hatake's Apt.!

Darkness of white you can

Through the sadness take your flight

And become the wings that pierce the veil

Spreading strong and true tonight

SLAM!

"I need to get a new alarm clock," a young female voice mumbled as she put a blue bow in her silver below chest length hair.

The young female picked up a brash and gently ran it through her bangs that was covering her forehead before she combed her side bangs that was framing her face beautifully. After she put down her brash she looked at herself in the floor length mirror in the room. She smoothed out her red-violet sleeveless kimono-like dress that has a red javelin over a crescent moon on the back with a brown leather belt while it has slits up both sides that has brown long tights underneath.

"Kitsune!" a male voice called up, "hurry up or you'll be late!"

"Like your one to talk Dad!" the young female yells back.

She could hear her Dad laughing as she put on a blue scruff followed by a pair of brown upper-arm length figure cut gloves. She then accessorized with two golden bracelets around her right wrist and a red string tied around her left wrist before she finished off the look with a pair of sand colored upper-calf length 5" heel boots. She once again looked at herself in the mirror again before she smiled liking the way the outfit looked finally.

"KITSUNE HATAKE!" the male yelled.

"Coming!" Kitsune called.

With one last look in the mirror she walked out of the room and walked towards the kitchen where she saw a young man no older then 26 setting at the table with his face in an orange book that made Kitsune's dark brown almost onyx eyes twitch in annoyance.

"Finally," the male sighed as he looked up over the top of his book at her making Kitsune rolled her eyes before walking over, grabbed an apple, and taking a bit out of it as she turned around. "What is with girls and taking so long to get ready?"

Kitsune looked at the clock and let out a sigh before she looked at the man with a glare.

"It's only 6: 25, Dad," Kitsune growled, "and the Academy doesn't open till 7 o'clock."

"Really?" he asked in surprised, "it's been so long I guess I forgot."

Kitsune had to bit her tongue to keep from making a comment making the man smile as he went back to his book. Once Kitsune was finished with her apple she throw away the core before looking at the clock again.

'20 minutes till the academy doors open,' she thought, 'I guess I can start walking now and get there just as the doors open.' Kitsune grabbed her bag that was kept in the kitchen making her Father to look at her. "I'm heading out now."

"Alright," he agreed, "have fun Kit."

Kitsune rolled her eyes as he cackled before she walked out of the kitchen and then out of the apartment.

Ninja Academy!

Just as Kitsune thought she had gotten there just as the doors opened letting in the kids that were earlier and she took noticed that a young dark haired boy was the first to walk inside with a group of girls giggle and squealing as he walked by.

'Sasuke Uchiha,' Kitsune thought before she shooked her head.

As she walked through the halls of the academy a lot of the academy students would stop what they were doing and look as she pasted by. Kitsune let out a sigh having become use to the stares that she got because according to every boy and some girls who wanted to be her friend or on a first name bases with her, she was the most beautiful young girl there was in the Leaf Village, but she had to disagree with them cause she thought a friend of hers Luna Hikari was more beautiful then she was.

Iruka-Sensei's Room!

With a sigh of relief Kitsune walked into the room to see that the sensei a young man name Iruka and the young boy name Sasuke were the only ones in the room at the moment. Kitsune walked over to her set which was right behind Sasuke next to the window to wait for class to start when a young girl came in. She has white waist length hair that has pulled back into a ponytail at the nip of her neck with bangs that covers her forehead as well as frame her face beautifully and her bright blue eyes stood out from the rest of her looks making Kitsune to smile at her.

"Good Morning Luna," she greeted the young girl when she had took her set next to Kitsune.

"Good Morning Kitsune," the girl greeted.

"I can't believe that soon we'll be Ninjas," Kitsune said with a smile, "I can't wait to see who my team is though I wish I'm on the same time as you, Luna."

"Same here," Luna agreed with a shy tone.

"Kawii," Kitsune squealed as she hugged Luna, "I wish you where my little Sister."

Sasuke rolled his eyes while Luna blushed bright red, but her blue eyes widen she felt Kitsune stiffen before the silver haired girl growled.

"Did you just roll your eyes, Uchiha?" Kitsune asked in a deadly tone.

Sasuke's onyx eyes widen while Kitsune noticed his back stiffen.

'How did she know?' the young Uchiha thought.

"Now, now Kitsune," Iruka spoked up, "no fighting."

"Hai, Iruka-Sensei," Kitsune said before she looked out the window. "Huh?" Kitsune rubbed her eyes before looking out the window again. "Iruka-Sensei."

"Yes?" he asked as he looked at her.

"Umm...you might want to look out the window," Kitsune answered.

Iruka did just that before he let out a gasp at he saw by now Sasuke and Luna where both looking out the window to see that the Hokage Mountain had been painted it on. Just then an Academy Teacher ran inside looking frantic.

"Iruka, it's Naruto!" he said, "he painted on the Hokage Mountain!"

"WHAT!"

Kitsune and Luna watched as Iruka and the other Teacher ran out of the room while more students where coming talking about the faces of the Hokage on the mountain.

Class!

Kitsune let out a sigh as she watched the scene in front of the class unfolded while Luna looked bored out of her mind.

"I'm at the end of my robe, Naruto," Iruka was telling a tied up blond haired boy, "you failed the graduation test last time, and the time before that. Tomorrow, you've got another chance and you're messing up again." Naruto turned around with a pout on his face like he didn't even care. "Fine. Because you missed it, Naruto, everyone will review the Transformation Jutsu!"

"Awwww!" the whole class, but Sasuke, Luna, and Kitsune groaned.

After a glare from Iruka, the whole class stood in front of him waiting to be called forward.

"Alright," a pink haired girl said, "Sakura, here. Let's do it." Kitsune looked at Luna who in turn looked at her before they shooked their heads. "Transform."

It wasn't long till an Iruka look alike was standing in place of Sakura.

"Transformed into me?" Iruka asked "good."

When she changed back the young pink haired girl started to jump up and down.

"Yes, yes, I did it," she cheered, "I did it."

"I kicked butt!" inner Sakura yelled.

"Sasuke, did you see that?" Sakura asked making Kitsune to roll her eyes.

"Alright, next!" Iruka called, "Kitsune Hatake."

Kitsune stepped forwarded before she made the hand sign.

"Transform!" she stated before in a puff of smoke a young woman with the same hair style as Kitsune only it was a dark blue color and pale lavender eyes stood in her place plus she was taller.

Everyone saw Iruka's face turned to that of sadness before he smiled.

"Transformed into your Mother, good," Iruka said making the class let out a gasp while Kitsune turned back. "Next up, Luna Hikari!"

Kitsune walked back to her set where she put her head down while Iruka made a mark on a clip broad he was holding.

"Transform!" Luna said once she had stepped forward and made the hand sign and in a puff of smoke she stood as another Iruka.

"Good," Iruka said as he made a mark on the clip broad as she turned back before she walked away. "Next! Sasuke Uchiha!" Sasuke walked forward before he did what the three before him did, but he didn't say anything. "Ah." Sasuke had turned into another Iruka. "Good." Once Sasuke turned back he walked away heading for his set, but not before looking at Kitsune. "Next! Naruto Uzumaki!"

"This is a total waste of time Naruto," a brown haired boy told him.

"We always pay for your screw ups," a pale blond haired girl agreed.

"Plus Lady Kitsune's upset," a black haired boy added.

"Like I care," Naruto told them.

It took the blond haired girl and brown haired boy to kept the blue haired boy from harming Naruto.

'Naruto, do your best,' a blue haired girl thought as she watched him.

"Transform!" Naruto shouted before in his place was a naked girl with clouds around her private parts making Iruka fall back with a nose bleed. "Got cha!" Naruto turned back into himself laughing. "That's my Sexy Jutsu!"

"Cut the stupid tricks!" Iruka yelled at him, "this is your last warning!"

The Hatake's Apt.!

Kitsune let out a sigh as she walked through the door of her home where she took off her boots before she walked the rest of the way inside. When she walked into the living room she saw her father setting on the couch reading again while the dogs laid around him.

"Is something wrong Kitsune?" she heard him ask.

"Everything's fine Dad," Kitsune answered.

"Really?" he asked as if he didn't believe her while he turned around, "then why does it look like you've been crying kiddo?" Kitsune just looked off to the side making her father to let out a sigh. "Do I have to find Arashi and ask him?" Kitsune looked back at him, but she still didn't say anything which her Father let out another sigh. "Come here sweetheart." Kitsune did as she was told and sat next to him where she let him pull her into a hug. "Naruto made you guys review that jutsu again, huh?" Kitsune nodded once before she felt him kiss the top of her head. "How about we eat out instead, hmm?"

"Ok," Kitsune agreed.

"Then go put on you shoes and wait for me," he told her.

Kitsune got up once he let her go and once again she did as she was told. When he came out of his room ready, they both left the apt. heading for the restaurant part of the village.

Next day!

Kitsune sat next to Luna once again in class looking at the front waiting for Iruka to tell them what the test was about.

"We will now start the final exam," Iruka started to explain to them, "when your name is called, proceed to the testing room. The final test will be on-the clan jutsu."

'That's my worst technique,' Naruto thought in distressed, 'great I'm never going to pass.'

"First up is Kitsune Hatake," Iruka said before he walked out of the class room with Kitsune right behind him looking ready to kill.

Testing room!

"Alright Kitsune," a whitish blue haired male told her when Iruka took his set, "make three clones of yourself."

Kitsune put her hands in a hand sign making Iruka and the other teacher to gasp.

'Shadow Clone Jutsu!' she thought before in a puff of smoke three clones of her stood next on either side.

"Your father taught you well," Iruka said when the clones vanished. "Congratulation. You graduate." Kitsune looked surprised when Iruka pulled out a black cloth forehead protector and handed it over to her with a smile. "Well, you tell Luna to come in here please?"

"Yes of course Sensei," Kitsune agreed before she walked out.

Class room!

Kitsune walked into the class room with her new forehead protector around her forehead making the boy from the other day to smile.

"Luna, Iruka-Sensei said that your next," she told the young white haired girl.

Luna nodded before she got up and walked out of the room for the test.

Outside the classroom!

Kitsune stood outside and watched as parents congratulated their children on becoming a Ninja as she waited for her Father.

"Kitsune," an all to familiar voice called.

Kitsune looked up and over to see her Father standing not that far from her with a smile.

"Dad!" Kitsune called as she ran over and into his arms making him smile behind his mask.

"I'm proud of you sweetheart," he said as he hugged her back, "let's go home and celebrate."

"Okay," Kitsune agreed unaware of two women talking about Naruto.

Two days later!

Kitsune let out a sigh as she sat behind Sasuke and Naruto waiting for Iruka to show up and start class while she paid no attention to the rest of them.

"What are you doing here Naruto?" the boy asked, "this is for those who graduate not dropouts."

"Oh yeah?" Naruto asked, "do you see this? Do you see this? Open your eyes Shikamaru it's a regulation headband. We're going to be training together. How do you like that?"

"Humph," Shikamaru sounded.

"Let me put it to you this way," Naruto said, "I look good in this head gear like it was made for me. Believe it! *Laughs*"

Shikamaru moved to set behind Naruto and Kitsune looked at him to see his head on his arms. Kitsune turned her head to look out the window when a noise in the hallway got her attention, so she turned towards the classroom door just to see Sakura and the blond haired girl known as Ino Yamanaka both of whom were the president and vice-president of the Sasuke Uchiha fan club. {Me: I hate Sakura, so I'll apologize now to all of you Sakura fans for anything I say about her.} They were trying to push past each other to get into the classroom and when they finally got into the class they were at it again.

"I'm first!" they both shouted.

"I win again Sakura," Ino told the pink haired girl.

"Give it up," Sakura told her, "I had to look back to see you. My toe was at least a 10th inch ahead."

"Have you always been this delusional?" Ino asked.

Kitsune let out a sigh as she felt a headache coming on.

"Hey!" she called, "wow! Where are you going?"

Kitsune saw Naruto stand up waving at Sakura who ran right up to the table out of the corner of her eyes.

"Hi Sakura," Naruto greeted, "what's up?"

"Move it!" Sakura yelled at him, "uh. Good morning Sasuke. Mind if I set next you?"

Sasuke looked at her for a bit before looking back up front of the class when Ino walked up.

"Back off forehead," she told Sakura, "I'm setting next to Sasuke."

"I was here first," Sakura growled.

"I walked into the classroom before you did," Ino told her, "everybody saw it."

"Dream on," Sakura stated.

Then much to Sasuke's annoyances fan girl after fan girl kept coming up saying they were the first ones here and that they should get to set next to Sasuke. Shikamaru looked at Kitsune with an annoyed look because the fan girls woke him up from his little nap as she looked at them with a very pissed off look.

"How does he do it?" he asked.

"I don't know Shikamaru," Kitsune answered, "and I really don't want to know."

Kitsune let out a sigh once again as the fan girls continued to fight over the sets next to Sasuke.

'Clueless,' Kitsune and Sasuke thought.

Else where!

In a dark room a group of people stood around a desk with a crystal ball on it and an old man setting behind it as they watch the scene.

"Promising new students; Sasuke Uchiha, Kitsune Hatake, and Luna Hikari," one of the people stated. "Is that them?"

"Yes, their the ones" the old man answered.

"Sasuke and Luna are the only survivors of the Uchiha and Hikari clans," another pointed out, "and if I'm not mistaken then Kitsune is the daughter of Kakashi Hatake and Aki Masato."

"That's right," the old man agreed.

The crystal ball showed them a blond spiky haired boy setting on the floor rubbing his head.

'Naruto Uzumaki, uh?' a third thought.

The Ninja Academy!

Kitsune let out a sigh of annoyances as the fighting went on so she decided to make it user for them to decide on where to sit. Shikamaru watched as Kitsune stood up from her set, onto the desk, and jumped to set in the set that the fan girls are fighting over. Kitsune let out a sigh as she kicked back and placed her right foot on top of the desk before she crossed it with her left foot then she put her arms behind her head as she closed her eyes trying to keep her temper in check which got the attention of the fan girls. {Me: Kitsune is annoyed.}

"Kitsune, that's my set!" Sakura yelled at her.

"I don't see your name on it, Sakura," Kitsune told her, "so just find some where else."

The fan girls started to yell at her to move it, but they all of a sudden went quiet making Kitsune to open one eye to see what shut them up to see Naruto on Sasuke's desk, bend down in front of him, and having a glaring contest with him.

"Naruto!" Sakura yelled, "hey! Stop glaring at Sasuke!"

Naruto looked at Sakura with a pained expression, 'Sakura?' He then went back to glaring at Sasuke. 'Why are they so obsessed with him? Sasuke, Sasuke. What's the big deal with this guy?'

They glared at each other to the point Kitsunethought she could see sparks between them as she opened both eyes.

"Let him have it!" the fan girls yelled.

It was at that moment that a boy in front laughed, lend back, and bumped into Naruto making him fall into Sasuke, but what surprised her was the fact that they had locked lips and were kissing.

"What the?" Sakura asked.

"I…Uh?" Ino started, but was speechless.

Kitsune watched as the two boys pulled apart gagging with amusement clear in her dark brown colored eyes as a small smirk appeared just as Sakura started to freak out.

'CHA!' Inner Sakura yelled, 'this is out rages! I was suppose to be Sasuke's first kiss! Naruto will pay for this! CHA!'

Kitsune just continued to watch the scene next to her like a TV show while trying to hold back a laugh though a very Uchiha-like smirk appeared on her face.

"I'll get you, Naruto," Sasuke growled as he gagged.

Naruto had stopped gagging as if Sasuke's threat got though to him, but he froze as he mumbled, "Danger." Naruto turned around slowly to see the fan girls glaring at him.

"Naruto, your dead," Sakura threatened.

"Hey!" Naruto tried to reason with them, "wow! It was an accident."

"Your finished," Sakura growled as she cracked her knuckles.

"Hold on?" Naruto asked before being beaten by fan girls.

Else where!

"As usually Naruto's in the middle of some kind of trouble," the old man stated.

The Ninja Academy!

"As of today your all ninjas," Iruka-sensei told them, "to get here you face difficult trails and hardships, and that's nothing. What comes next well be for more difficult. Now your only Genin; first level ninjas. All Genin well be group into a 3 man squad with one squads of 4. Each squad will be lead by a Jonin an elite ninja."

Kitsune looked at him with an annoyed expression hoping that he was kidding as everyone looked at him shocked.

"Huh?"

'A 3 man squad with one squad of four?' both Sakura and Ino thought.

"Well someone's got to be in Sasuke's group," Ino whispered as Kitsune to rolled her eyes, "I wonder who?"

"I don't Know," Sakura answered.

'CHA!' Inner Sakura yelled, 'I'm going to be with Sasuke, so stay away from him you hag!'

'Groups of 3 and one of 4,' Sasuke thought, 'that'll only slow me down.'

'I want to be with Sakura and…Well, I don't care as long as it's not Sasuke," Naruto thought.

'As I'm not annoyed then I'm cool,' Kitsune thought.

"We want each group to have balance and ability, so that's how we sat up them up," Iruka told them, "I well now announce the squads."

After awhile!

"Squad 7..." Iruka went on. "Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno…"

Naruto jumped up with his fist raised in the air in victory. "Yeah!"

Meanwhile, Sakura hanged her head while mumbling, "I'm doomed."

"Sasuke Uchiha…"

This time it was Sakura who yelled with happiness while Naruto hanged his head.

"This squad will be the 4 man squad, so the last member is…" Iruka explained. "Kitsune Hatake!"

Kitsune could tell that Naruto was doing a happy dance in his head at the fact both Sakura and her will be on his team.

"Next squad 8..." Iruka went on. "Hinata Hyuga…"

"Yes, sire," a shy/tamed voice called out.

"Kiba Inuzuka…"

"Haha," a boy laughed.

"Shino Aburame…"

Sakura turned around to give Ino a peace sigh while laughing.

"How did you get into his group?" Ino demanded.

'Kashing!' Inner Sakura yelled, 'true love cankers all.'

Kitsune watched on in amusement as Ino growled at Sakura.

"I don't get it," Shikamaru stated, "what do you see in a guy like him? He's not so special."

"Your so be on clueless Shikamaru," Ino told him, "don't you get it?"

"No I don't get it because I'm not a girl," Shikamaru answered her.

"*Sigh* Your so full of yourself," Ino told him, "jealousy is a terrible thing. I hate to be on your squad."

"Uh, Yamanaka," Kitsune said making both Shikamaru and Ino to look at her, "I'm a girl and yet I don't get it."

Ino started in shock at Kitsune as if she had never seen some one like her before while Shikamaru laughed quietly next to her.

"Now squad 10 whose the last squad with 4...Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara…"

'I feel sorry for Shikamaru,' Kitsune thought as she lend her head back to look at him.

"Ha," he laughed, "didn't you say something about hating to be on my squad?"

Ino growled at him.

"And Choji Akimichi!"

'Not food boy, too,' Ino thought.

"And finally Squad 11," Iruka went on, "Luna Hikari."

"Right."

"Arashi Masato."

"Oh great."

"And Kuro Neko."

"I hate this."

"These are all the squads…"

"Iruka-Sensei!" Naruto yelled as he stood up and pointed at Sasuke, "why does a great ninja like me have to be in the same squad as a slug like Sasuke?"

"And what about Kitsune, Sensei?" Sakura asked, "she's lazy and doesn't do anything and she's late most of the time plus isn't a bit unfair to have two Rookies of the Year on the same team."

"Sasuke had one of the best scores out of all the gradating students," Iruka answered. "Naruto, you had the worst score. Sakura, you lack talent in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu while Kitsune can preform any type of Ninjutsu like Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lighting Ninjutsu plus she can summon a Ninja Animal already and she remarkably strong when fighting, but she doesn't have your talent in Genjutsu so I thought that you both could help one other with your weakness." The whole class besides Sasuke, Luna, and Kitsune laughed at Naruto though Sakura looked at Kitsune with a smug look, but Kitsune just looked at her with an indifferent look. "To create a balance we put the best student with the worst student."

"Just make sure you don't get in my way loser," Sasuke told him.

"Hey!" Naruto yelled at Sasuke, "what did you say?!"

"What?" Sasuke asked, "hard of hearing?"

The class laughed at Naruto again as Kitsune rolled her eyes.

"Knock it off Naruto," Sakura ordered, "set down."

Iruka cleared his throat to get the class's attention.

"After lunch you'll meet your new Jonin teachers. Until then class dismiss."

Kitsune got up out of her set and left heading to the tea house to meet up with someone.
