A/N: Hello, I'm TM11 here and i woul like to thank you for Reading and if possible reviewing my first ever story. Hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, Kishimoto does, unfortunately.
Edited March 5th, 2015 - changed the bloodlines that Naruto already has from two to three.
Edited January 7th, 2016 - corrected Haku's surname.
Konohagakure no Sato, the Village Hidden in the Leafs, a shinobi village founded by Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
The village survived through three Great Shinobi Wars, losing most of its leaders, the Hokages, or Fire Shadows, to those wars. At this point in time, the current Hokage, the Yondaime, or Fourth, was looking through the results of the Gennin tests. It was night time, but, as the Hokage, he had to make the teams of the next generation of genins, but he was not alone doing this.
"This year's genin hopefuls seem to be skilled. Although it seems that the number is not as high as last year's." said Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage, clan head of the Sarutobi Clan and one of the advisors to the Yondaime, as he looked through the files that held the results of the genin tests.
"Sometimes quality overcomes quantity. It's better to have a few genin that are skilled enough not to die, than have a bigger number of genin that are either idiots, fan girls or fan boys, or simply not skilled enough that they would die by falling on their own kunai." said Uchiha Indra, the Yondaime Hokage, clan head of the Uchiha Clan and one of the three last Uchihas in the world. He's a light-skinned young man in his late thirties, with spiky, black hair, that had a slight blue tint to it, waist-length with shoulder-length bangs framing the sides of his face, covering most of his right eye. He was like a living clone of one of the founders of Konoha, Uchiha Madara.
"I agree, a child should not have to die at young age, and at least the village as recover from the Kyuubi attack, 13 years ago." said Hiruzen while looking from the files on his hands to the Uchiha in front of him.
"Well, I think I have finished forming the teams. Tell me what your opinion on them is?" said the Uchiha clan head and Yondaime Hokage, as he gave Hiruzen some files with the teams that he had formed.
Hiruzen went through the files for a few minutes, reading everything without missing a single word. He then said "They are good teams. Well rounded, but a bit specialized at the same time, although I'm worried in regard to one team."
"His team, I presume." said Indra as he looked at Hiruzen, who had finished reading the files and placed them on the Hokage's desk.
"You are trying to make him stronger, aren't you? With his ability and with this kind of team, he will become a very powerful shinobi." said Hiruzen as he looked at the current Hokage death in the eyes.
"Isn't that a good thing? You know as well as I do that he will need to be strong. I have no doubts that he will have strong enemies in the future, both from inside and outside of this village's walls." said Indra as he leaned back on his chair, crossed his fingers with each other and placed his right leg over his left leg.
"Yes, I know that. It pains me to see a child being treated like he's the plague. It seems like the Will of Fire is dying." said the Sarutobi clan head as he sighed. "But, that's more of the reason for we to make sure that the next generation doesn't make the same mistakes that the older."
"We both know that that isn't happening, Hiruzen. The older generation is influencing the new one. Their hate runs too deep for them to see reason and, like any child, their children want to please their parents." said Indra.
"Minato would be disappointed of them." said Hiruzen with a slight frown on his face while looking at the floor. But, then, a sad smile showed up on his face. "But, Kushina would go on a killing spree if she knew what they were doing to her baby."
Indra had a sad smile on his face too after hearing that. "Yes, no one would be able to stop her. Not even the Kyuubi itself would dare to step in her way, of that I'm sure." Hiruzen chuckled a bit at that. After all, 'Hell had no fury, like a scorned mother.' he thought and knowing Kushina, well, let's just say that the mighty Kyuubi no Yoko would have little chance of surviving.
THE NEXT DAY
The sun was shining brightly, and the wind was blowing softly through the village of Konoha. Some villagers were already up, working on their stores, while others were just waking up. The shinobi were already up doing their specific tasks, given by the Hokage.
But, our person of interest was not among the village. No, no, he was on secluded area in the forest behind the Hokage Monument, inside an old training ground used by Jiraiya of the Sannin and his pupil. It was built on the face of a mountain and it seemed like a small compound with enough space for a small clan. (PS: I'm not that good at describing places, so, just go see pics of the place where Naruto faced Menma)
Inside one the training grounds, was a little boy with blonde, sun-kissed, spiky hair. He had three whisker marks on each cheek and was of normal stature for his age, with some baby fat, but with some muscle too. He wore blue shinobi sandals, black ANBU style pants, a black T-shirt with a high collar that went to his chin; he also had a black glove on his right hand and a fingerless black glove on his left hand. His hitai-ate was serving has a belt and he had a tanto on his back, whose hilt was over his right shoulder.
He's eyes were close as he was concentrating, then his hands went to the weapon pouch on his back, by the right side of his hip, and he took out ten kunai, five on each hand. Our blond ninja was surrounded by ten training logs in total, all with circular targets full with kunais. After crossing his arms in front of his chest, our blonde ninja jumped into the air and then started flipping through it while throwing the kunai in his hands at the targets, never once opening his eyes.
When he landed on the ground, all the targets were hit in the bull's-eye, even the one that was behind him. He then finally opened his eyes, reviling his sapphire blue eyes to the world. He looked around himself and nodded to himself after seeing what he had done. 'Morning workout is done and it seems that my memory is as good as ever.' thought the blond.
Our person of interest is none other than Uzumaki Naruto, Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko and genin of Konohagakure. It was thirteen years ago that the demon fox attacked the village, and it was also thirteen years ago that Naruto's father and candidate to the title of Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Minato lost his life by sealing the beast inside his son. Not only that, but his mother also died in the same day, protecting her son from the beast. As a result, Naruto was made an orphan the day he was born, although the Yondaime and Sandaime made sure to help the boy as best as they could through his childhood.
Naruto walked out from the training ground and looked at the watch in the hall way, located above the door from which he just passed. 'It's time for academy. I should get going then. But first…' He made a single hand sign that looked like a cross and created 20 shadow clones of himself. Sending the clones to the library inside his home, he grabbed a bit of bread as he walked through the kitchen and then walked out, making his way to the shinobi academy.
AT THE ACADEMY
When he got to the academy, the classroom was already full with the students that also passed the genin exam; he then walked to his seat between Nara Shikamaru and Aburame Shino. "Nara-san, Aburame-san." said Naruto as he nodded to them in greeting, while taking his seat.
Aburame Shino, a calm, collected, and solitary person, who is quite mysterious. Like most shinobi of the Aburame Clan he is a stoic and matter-of-fact person, rarely ever smiling or showing emotion at all. Shino is a fair-skinned ninja and the tallest member of the graduating class. He has dark, bushy, brown hair and dark, narrow eyes. He sports the same style as the rest of his clan, consisting of dark sunglasses and a sea-green jacket with a high, upturned collar. "Good morning, Uzumaki-san." said Shino in return to Naruto's greeting with his usual stoic voice.
"Troublesome. Why did I have to wake up so early?" murmured Shikamaru to himself as he lifted his head up from his desk. "Oh, hi Naruto-san." said the Nara clan heir as he finally noticed the blonde. Nara Shikamaru, he has shoulder length black hair tied in a spiky ponytail and narrow brown eyes. His attire is rather plain, consisting of a green lined mesh T-shirt under a short sleeved grey jacket with green edges, adorned on both the sleeves and the back with a circle with a line through it, his blue forehead protector worn around his left arm, brown pants, and blue sandals. If one were to describe Shikamaru, he or she would call him a lazy ass, but Naruto knew that, like most Naras, Shikamaru was a genius with a great intellect, beyond that of a normal child.
Naruto wasn't exactly friends with them; matter of fact, Naruto wasn't friends with anyone. He didn't mind not having friends, his solitude was just another challenge that life put in front of him. But, getting back on topic, Shino and Shikamaru were just colleagues or acquaintances of the blonde, no more, no less.
'Out of everyone in here, these two are the ones that I would, most likely, be able to work nicely with.' though the blonde as he looked around the classroom. There were some civilian kids that managed to pass the exam, but Naruto could see that most, if not all of them, would not last a day as a shinobi. The ones most likely to make a life out of being shinobi would be the clan heirs that were in his graduation class.
There was Inuzuka Kiba, a kid with messy brown hair, sharp black eyes with vertical slit-like pupils, pronounced canine teeth, and nails that he can change into claws. He also has the distinctive red fang markings of the Inuzuka clan on his cheeks. His attire consists of dark grayish pants reaching to his calves and a grey, hooded fur-lined coat, with the hood usually placed on his head, over an apparent plate of armour and fishnet undershirt with a blue forehead protector and blue sandals. Situated in his head was his ninken, Akamaru. Like most of his clan, Kiba is short-tempered and impulsive, but he's also loyal, although a bit too prideful. 'I wouldn't mind having him as a team member, since, thanks to his and Akamaru's noses, they are great trackers and that could help a lot when on recon missions.' though Naruto.
Another one that would be of great help as a tracker would be Hyuuga Hanabi, the younger sister to the heiress of the Hyuuga Clan. Hanabi has dark brown short hair framing her face in an asymmetrical bob style with the front bangs reaching below her chin. She also has large, white eyes - a trait shared by all members of her clan, but, hers have a hint of lilac in them. She wears a sleeveless, blue v-neck shirt, with mesh armour underneath, a tan vest jacket with white wristbands on both hands and her footwear is shinobi sandals with white bands around her ankles. She's a quiet, polite and respectful girl, but also joyful and kind. 'And, like any other Hyuuga, she believes that her Byakugan and Jyūken are enough for her to win any battle. Although that's false, she at least has the Byakugan that could be of great use to a team, to spot enemies and among other things. Plus, I would prefer to have her on my team instead of a useless and annoying fan girl.' though the blonde as he saw almost every girl looking at a certain kid with hearts in their eyes.
Uchiha Sasuke is a fair-skinned ninja who has onyx-black eyes and black, chin-length hair. His hair is spiky in the back with bangs that hang on both sides of his face too roughly frame his cheeks. Sasuke's clothing consists of the traditional Uchiha clothing: a navy blue, short-sleeved shirt with a high collar and the Uchiha crest on the back and white arm warmers, along with white shorts. From what Naruto as seen so far, Sasuke is a loner, spending more time alone honing his skills than socializing with the other students, ignoring the many girls attracted to him in favor of solitude. He is also, along with the Yondaime Hokage, one of the last Uchihas in the world. 'From what I can get, he's a lot like me, but just as prideful as Kiba. He's fighting style is similar to mine, but he focus more on speed than strength, add the Sharingan and you got a nice all rounded fighter. Along with myself, our team would be a powerhouse style of team, perfect for assault missions.' though Naruto as he saw the Uchiha looking through a window, not noticing his fan girls in the slightest.
There were more classmates that Naruto would not mine having on his team, but he was brought out of his thoughts when their chuunin instructor, Umino Iruka walked through the door and went straight to his desk. Iruka is a man of average height and build. He has brown hair that he keeps in a ponytail, dark eyes and a scar that runs across the bridge of his nose. He wears the standard Konoha shinobi outfit complete with forehead protector, sandals, and flak jacket. His sleeves are also rolled up.
After hearing Iruka talk about how proud he was of all of them and that he was expecting great things from them, they got to the part that they wanted to hear. As he start calling the teams, most started to zone out until their names were mentioned. "…Team 7, Inuzuka Kiba, Uchiha Sasuke and Fuuma Sasame, Jōnin team leader, Hatake Kakashi. Team 8, Hyuuga Hanabi, Uzumaki Naruto and Momochi Haku, Jōnin team leader, Hyuuga Hinata. Team 9 is still active. Team 10, Aburame Shino, Akimichi Chouji and Nara Shikamaru, Jōnin team leader, Mitarashi Anko…" Iruka continued to say the rest of the teams, but Naruto turned him off as he thought of his team members.
Momochi Haku, a young woman with an androgynous appearance. She has long black hair, pale skin and large, dark-brown eyes, a slender frame, and is also quite short for her age. Haku's normal shinobi outfit consists of the standard Kirigakure pinstriped outfit which stops at her knees. Over this she wears a green haori with white trimmings, and around her waist a brown sash with a fringed trail wrapped around her waist twice. She also wears light-brown platoon sandals with straps in the same color as her kimono and nail polish on her fingernails and toenails in matching blue green color. When wearing this outfit, Haku's long hair is gathered in a white bun holder, while two locks of her hair fell loose framing her face, bound with metal hair cuffs at the ends. Haku also wears a black forehead protector with the Konohagakure's symbol upon it.
'From what I know, she and her mother were born from a clan stationed at Kirigakure, but because of the bloodline purges, her clan went extinct, with she and her mother being the only survivors. Yondaime-sama told me that they were saved by Momochi Zabuza, a former Jōnin of Kiri, and then asked for asylum here in Konoha.' though Naruto as he looked at her and she at him. They both nodded to each other and then looked at Hanabi and nodded to her as well, as she did the same, although, she seemed a bit surprised by having her older sister as her sensei.
"Well, those were all the teams. Now, I want to tell you that the most important thing in a team is teamwork. Work together with your teammates and nothing will be impossible, for that is Konoha's biggest strength." said Iruka as he looked all round the classroom and met each of his students with a serious gaze. "Now, you have one hour for lunch and to get to know your teammates better, then you'll have to come back and meet with your Jōnin senseis." After organizing all of his papers, Iruka looked one last time at his class, feeling proud for being a teacher to all of them. "Before you leave, let say once again that I'm proud of each and every single one of you. Now make me even more proud by becoming the best that you can be!"
"Hai, Sensei!" said most of the students as they got up from their seats, Naruto and Sasuke being the exemption.
After Naruto got up from his seat, he walked to the door, where Haku and Hanabi were waiting for him. "Momochi-san, Hyuuga-san. It's pleasure to be working together you two from now on. I hope that we can become a great team." said Naruto as he got near his new teammates and nodded at them.
"Thank you, Naruto-kun. But, please, call me Haku; we are teammates now, so we should be friendlier with each other." said Haku as she smiled at him.
"I'm of the same opinion as well. You may call me Hanabi too, Naruto-kun." said Hanabi with a small smile on her face.
The shrugged his shoulders as he said, with his normal stoic face. "Very well, if that's your wish, Haku, Hanabi. So, would you like to go eat somewhere? That way we can get to know each other better, something crucial if are to work together efficiently in the future." Both of them nodded at the blonde whiskered ninja. "Do you have any place in mind, Naruto-kun?" asked Hanabi. "No, I usually cook my own food, so I'm not well knowledgeable on good places to go eat at." said Naruto as he shook his head at the young Hyuuga. "Don't worry about that, I know a great place where we can go eat. Follow me." said Haku as she started walking down the hall. Naruto and Hanabi shrugged to each other and walked after her.
After walking for about 5 minutes, the newly made Team 8 stopped at the door of a restaurant, the Yakiniku Q. The restaurant was large with wide windows, multiple green-seated booths, though some tables allow customers to sit down on the floor with green cushions as their seats, menus plastered on the walls, and due to their Gyū-Kaku-style, each table has a charcoal brazier built in the centre and is equipped with tongs for cooking, since the Gyū-Kaku form of dining is one in which the customers cook their own food after ordering it.
After walking inside, Haku was the one to kill the silence. "This is one of my favorite restaurants. The food here is delicious." said she as they went to sit near the window. They called the waiter and ordered their meals. The waiter did seem to look at Naruto with a bit of discomfort, but the girls didn't seem to notice. 'At least, they didn't kick out. They either fear what Yondaime-sama or I may do to them if they treat me as badly as before.'
"Well, Naruto-kun, tell us something about you. Hanabi and I already a bit about each other, but we don't really know anything about you." said Haku as she looked at Naruto with a kind smile.
"That's good. It means that I'm doing my job as a shinobi well. After all, stealth and trickery are a shinobi best weapons and allies." said Naruto, still with his stoic voice.
"Yes, but, while that is true, you should trust your comrades too. After all, it was you who said that we need to know each other better so that we can work efficiently in the future." said Hanabi as she looked at the blonde with some curiosity.
"Well, I'm manly a close-range fighter, but I can also support from medium-range. I have fire and wind affinities and I already know two jutsus for each one of them. I'm manly a Ninjutsu kind of ninja, but Taijutsu is average and my Genjutsu is not that good. As you must have already guessed, I know a bit of Kenjutsu, although, I'm not really that good yet, but, I'm good enough to be above average." explained the blonde whiskered Jinchuuriki to his teammates.
Haku was now very interested in her male teammate. If what he said was true, than he could help her become very strong and make her father proud. While Hanabi was a bit impressed too, she still believed that she could beat him, nonetheless; after all, she was a Hyuuga that had the all-seeing-eye; nothing could pass through her.
"What about you, Haku?" said Naruto with a bit of curiosity. After all, she did come from a clan with a Kekkai Genkkai, if she hadn't one, then, why would the bloodline hunters go after her family?
"Hm, well, I'm a shinobi that focus more on speed than strength and I'm more of a medium to long-range fighter. I also have two element affinities, one for water and one for wind. But, as you may or not know already, I come from a clan from Kiri, and, in my clan, we were known for being able to mix both water and wind to make ice." said Haku, a bit sad as she remembered that, now, she was the last ninja of her clan.
'Just as I thought. Now I see why the Yondaime put me with them.' said Naruto. The blonde had spent many times reading about the many known Kekkai Genkkais and other clan techniques. With his ability, he would need to know that kind of information.
"Mix water and wind to create ice? Can you really do that?" asked Hanabi with a mix of curiosity and skepticism, since she had never heard of nothing like that.
"No, the process is similar to how Shodaime-sama manipulated wood by mixing water and earth, but I'm nowhere near that level. I can turn water into ice, but only for a few minutes and my control over it is not good enough, yet." responded the pale looking girl from Kiri to the second daughter of the Hyuuga clan head.
"Hm, what about you, Hanabi?" asked Naruto as he looked at the white-lilac eyed girl in front of him.
"Like every Hyuuga, I'm a close-range fighter and practitioner of the Jyuuken (Gentle Fist). I already activated the Byakugan and can see in a maximum of 1 kilometer around me if I focus hard enough, if not, then I can see until 50 meters." said Hanabi as the waiter came with their food. As they started to cook their meat, Naruto said, "Hm, then, in combat, Hanabi and myself would attack the enemy while Haku supported us with her speed and Ninjutsu. One of our best plans would be for Hanabi to distract the enemy while Haku and I use a combo between fire and wind, since they complement each other. While on recon missions, Hanabi's Byakugan will be invaluable to spy on our targets or to alert our team of any possible trap. Haku's speed, if as good as I imagine, would allow her to respond quicker than Hanabi and myself and possibly save our lives. While I, with my strength and variety of skills, could hold the enemy for a few moments when in need of escaping if a mission goes south." said our whiskered shinobi, never once looking from his food, which was now ready to be ate.
Haku and Hanabi were surprised by Naruto's reasoning. They had been assigned to the same team only about 30 minutes ago, told about each one's abilities and skills in a little over 2 minutes, and he had already thought of possible scenarios were their abilities could be better used and of a team combo for them to use.
Being the first to overcome her surprise, Hanabi said, "Well, at least we now know who will be the brain of the team."
Haku decided to add her two cents to that and said, "Yeah, I agree. With that mind of his, my speed and your eyes, our team is as good as invincible!"
"Don't get cocky, Haku. Pride and cockiness go hand in hand with Death. Many have and will continue to fall because they overestimated themselves and underestimated their enemies." said the blonde with his unchangeable stoic face.
"Come on; cheer up, Naruto-kun! Have some confidence in our team." said Haku cheerfully, trying to make the blond smile. Seriously, that stoic look hadn't left his face since…well, since she first met him at the academy.
'I have confidence, but only time will tell how far this team will go. And, according to Murphy's Law, always expect the worse, because if something can go wrong, it will.' though Naruto as he quietly ate his food while his teammates talked with one another.
AT THE ACADEMY
When Team 8 got back to their, now former, classroom, they seated beside each other, Naruto in the middle, Hanabi to his left and Haku to his right.
While they waited for their Jōnin sensei and Hanabi's older sister, Hyuuga Hinata, to come, they were looking at the other genin teams, to see what they were up to.
Haku watched as Shikamaru was sleeping, like always, with Chouji eating chips and a slight conversation with Shino. While Hanabi was watching Sasuke brooding while looking through window to his left, like he had never left from the classroom in the first place. Meanwhile, Kiba was making some advances on Sasame, who wasn't returning them at all and seemed to be a bit pissed.
Naruto, however, was going through the memories of the clones that he had left at home. 'Two new jutsus mastered and one more chapter of Art of War read.'
At that very moment, a yawn was heard inside Naruto's mind, but, it wasn't a normal yawn. No, it was a more beastly yawn.
'Good morning, Kurama.' said Naruto to the voice inside his mind, like it was perfectly normal for him to heard voices in his head.
'Good morning, Kit. I see that you already know who your teammates are.' said Kurama, the mighty Kyuubi no Yoko! 'Hm, a Hyuuga and a kunoichi that can create ice? Hmph, that bastard of an Uchiha is clearly giving you an advantage and an way to get stronger.' Added Kurama with a bit of annoyance as he said the name'Uchiha'.
'Yes, I've come to the same conclusion. And I'll admit to have some curiosity to what type of bloodline would I gain after absorbing their chackra.' Thought Naruto as he casually talked to Kurama.
'I have to say, I'm curious as well. But, remember, you already have three bloodlines down, you can only get six more.' Warned the most powerful Bijuu to Naruto.
'I know, but, I remember correctly, which I always do, Kami no Tatchi (God's Touch) can also upgrade an already existent bloodline of mine, if I manage to control it enough to order it to so.' Argued Naruto with Kurama.
'Yes, but, while that's possible, you still don't have that much control over your bloodline. So, be mindful of what abilities you want to take.' Counter-argued the fox with its Jinchuuriki. This had become one of the things that they would to pass the time. They would talk with each other for hours about anything and everything. Ever since Naruto had learned about being a Jinchuuriki to the most powerful of the Bijuu, at the age of three, he would always try to talk with the beast. At the age 6, more less when Naruto started attending to the Academy, the fox had proposed a deal. Kurama would help Naruto survive and make sure that he would only die of old age. In exchange, Naruto would set him free before dying and Kurama would never attack Konoha, unless if provoked. Naruto also had to help Kurama to kill the man that had made him attack Konoha, a masked man with a Sharingan eye.
It goes without saying that Naruto accepted the deal, only after talking with the Yondaime and the Sandaime. The Yondaime backed up the existence of the masked man, since he had met and fought against the man while Minato, Naruto's father, and the Sandaime were fighting Kurama.
Since then, Naruto and Kurama had got very well with each other, knowing that, if they wanted to stay alive, they to help each other.
The noise of a door opening stopped the argument between the blonde and his tenant, as Naruto and everybody else in the classroom looked at the door to see a beautiful girl, that seemed to be 2 or 3 years older than them, walk through it and to the center of the class. Hanabi recognized the older kunoichi immediately. How could she not? After all, it was her older sister.
With a hime-style waist-length dark blue hair and fair skin, going, while the short strands of hair that frame her face went to shoulder-length. With the normal white eyes of that the Hyuuga were known to have, although they had a tinge of lavender in the, and with a womanly figure that most women would die to have and that would make men pass out from blood loss. She also donned an attire comprised of a loose fitting and opened, lavender and cream hooded-jacket with lavender cuffs over mesh armour bikini top, which did little to hide most of her cleavage, with navy blue shorts and black, low-heeled sandals. Her black Konoha headband being wore around her neck. (Think of alternative Hinata from the Road to Ninja movie)
This was Hyuuga Hinata, heiress of Hyuuga clan and Jōnin of Konohagakure no Sato. She stopped in front of the teacher's desk and looked at the class of the almost new genin, with her hands on her beautiful hips. "Hyuuga Hanabi, Momochi Haku and Uzumaki Naruto! Stand up!" exclaimed the Hyuuga heiress in loud and clear voice that demanded respect.
"Hai!" responded Team 8 as they stand up from their seats and lined up, just like the perfect soldiers that they are supposed to be.
"Meet me at training grounds 8 in 10 minutes. Starting now!" and with that, she disappeared in a shunshin, leaving only a bunch of leafs where she was previously standing.
"Better not make her wait then. See you there." Said Haku as she speeded out of the classroom with Hanabi right behind her, while Naruto just jumped through the window and speeded up to the training ground.
'Oh, she's a feisty one. Reminds me a bit of Kushina. Kit, you lucky bastard. He didn't do a thing and already got himself in team with two pretty young vixens as his teammates and one gorgeous vixen as his sensei. Hmph, just like that damn Minato.' Thought Kurama to himself and with that, he cut off the connection between him and Naruto and went back to his nap.
AT THE TRAINING GROUNDS EIGHT
Team 8 got at the training grounds in 7 minutes, with Haku being first, Naruto a close second and Hanabi the last one to arrive. They looked around and saw that the training ground consisted of basically a huge clearing with some boulders here and there and a forest around them. They could see their sensei wanting for them near one of the boulders, so they went to meet her.
She looked at them as they got near her and said, "Not bad, you got here quicker that I was expecting." She then crossed her arms under her huge breasts. "You must have already known each other more or less, but I don't know at least two of you." She then looked Naruto in the eye and said, "So, Blondie, let's start the presentations with you."
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, I like to train and I dislike the villagers of Konoha. My dream is to survive long enough while going through every challenge that life puts in front of me and finally die of old age. If not, then I would like to die in battle, knowing that I sent the bastard that killed me, with me to the afterlife." Said Naruto, his face never once changing from that stoic look that he always seemed to carry.
Hanabi and Haku were looking at Naruto with a bit of curiosity and wonder. It wasn't everyday that you met a twelve year old whose only dream was to survive life, that and the fact that he doesn't like the villagers, but still becomes a ninja, whose function is to protect them, is a bit strange to say the least. Hinata, however, was looking at the blonde with pity. She knew of what he went through during his childhood, the Hokage had said everything to her, from the looks of hatred to the beatings on his birthday. It still confused her how some ninja could not see that this boy was not the Kyuubi; she was expecting that from the villagers, but, not from her coworkers. 'Idiots, all of them! Just because a kunai is sealed inside a scroll, it doesn't make the scroll a kunai. It's the same with Naruto and the Kyuubi, the fox is the kunai and Naruto is the scroll.' Thought Hinata with disgust.
"Very well, what about you Hanabi?" asked Hinata as she looked at her little sister.
"I'm Hyuuga Hanabi, I like bananas and milk, my sister and my favorite hobby is to train with my father. I dislike men who think that kunoichi are weak just because we are of the opposite sex and my dream is to surpass everyone in the Hyuuga clan." Said Hanabi with conviction and determination.
"Nice, I'm always looking for a challenge. And you?" asked the lavender-eyed Hyuuga at Haku.
"I'm Momochi Haku; I like my family and friends. I dislike arrogant and snobbish persons, who think that they're the center of the world and my dream is to make it into the ANBU." Said Haku, determinate to achieve her dream.
"Don't worry, with my help, you'll make it to the ANBU. Now, well, I'm Hyuuga Hinata, I like to fight and show what a real kunoichi is all about. My favorite foods are zenzai and cinnamon rolls, while my least favorite foods are dishes such as crabs and shrimp. I dislike weak men and men that think that women are weak. My dream is to get rid of that stupid Cage Bird Seal of my clan." Said Hinata with extreme confidence in herself. "Now that introductions are out of the way we can start the real Genin Exam."
"What do you mean, Onee-sama?" asked Hanabi confused.
"First, during training and on missions, I'm not your sister; I'm your sensei, so call me Hinata-sensei or just Sensei. Second, those stupid tests that you did at the Academy were just to see who was good enough to be a Genin and who wasn't. Third, the real Genin Exam is made by the Jōnin senseis and let me tell you that there is 66% change that you will fail this test." Explained Hinata to her possible first Genin team.
Haku and Hanabi seemed a little worried, while Naruto's expression didn't change a bit. "Now, your test is simple, you just have to impress me in a one-on-three spar. Fail to do it and your ass is sent back to the Academy. Oh, and if I were you, I would come at me with everything you have, because, I will." Explained Hinata with a smirk on her face.
The girls gulped while the single male of the team still didn't change his expression. "You have 5 minutes to come up with a plan, starting now!" After saying that, she disappeared in a Shunshin.
"Ok, so what's the plan, Naruto-kun?" asked Haku as she and Hanabi turned to look at Naruto.
The blonde raised a eyebrow at them, "So, you weren't kidding when you said that I would be the brain of the team? Very well." Said Naruto as he shrugged his shoulders. He then turned to Hanabi and asked, "What can you tell me about Hinata-sensei's skills and abilities?"
She took a thinking posture and said, "Hm, well…"
After the five minutes were up, Hinata reappeared in the clearing. "Your five minutes are up. Are you ready?" She asked them and they nodded. "Hai, sensei!"
"Well, then, get ready and…GO!" as soon as the words left her lips, Naruto, Haku and Hanabi poofed into three clouds of smoke.
'Kage Bunshin!?' screamed the Hyuuga heiress inside her head, with wide eyes. But, then, she got a exited smirk on her face. 'This is gonna be fun!'
