Chereads / Naruto : Sealed legacy / Chapter 10 - Chapter Ten: Genin Teams, Assemble!

Chapter 10 - Chapter Ten: Genin Teams, Assemble!

Sasuke's clenched fists were still resting on top of his desk as he watched Hinata walked in with Naruto with his right arm wrapped around her waist, as though he was saying that she was his and no one else's.

This cannot be so! Sasuke thought, Why would she choose him over me?

Some of the girls were whispering and pointing at the new couple while a few looked and saw the angry and jealous look on Sasuke's face.

"I don't know why he's so angry," Kiba stated, "You'd think the famed Rookie of the Year would have some sense to figure out when a girl doesn't like him."

"His ego and desire for Naruto's girlfriend clearly blinds his judgment," Shino observed as Naruto and Hinata went over to him and the others.

"Hey, guys, what's shaking?" Naruto asked with a toothy grin.

"Not much, really," Chouji greeted.

"So you finally got Naruto to be your guy, huh Hinata?" Kiba teased. "All I have to say is that it's about damn time!"

Hinata smiled brightly with reddened cheeks.

"My congrats to you both," Shikamaru added before remarking, "But it's sad to say, not everyone here shares your happiness."

Naruto and Hinata looked in the direction Shikamaru was pointing. They saw the straight faced expression on Sasuke's face, and also saw he was having trouble keeping his cool. Sighing, Naruto and Hinata turned back to Shikamaru.

"Don't let Sasuke's mood spoil what you two have," Chouji suggested.

"Like we'd let it!" Naruto remarked, "The teme should have realized he never stood a chance in the first place. How he became Rookie of the Year is a wonder in itself."

"Naruto-kun!" Hinata giggled, then slapped the blond's arm lightly and chided, "Behave."

Just then, Ino and Sakura appeared through the door simultaneously, both fighting and racing to get to sit next to Sasuke.

"I was here first, Forehead!" Ino barked.

"No I was, Ino-pig!" Sakura retorted. Both girls were wrestling at the classroom entrance, trying to keep the other from heading to Sasuke first.

"I pity whoever has them for teammates," Shikamaru remarked. Sasuke got up off his seat and proceeded over to where Hinata and the others were. Reaching them, Sasuke stood in front of her and Naruto. Sakura managed to push Ino away and run over to Sasuke before Ino caught up to her.

"Sasuke-san," Hinata greeted respectfully.

"Hinata," Sasuke acknowledged, then asked, "Was Naruto always your boyfriend?"

"No," Hinata answered honestly, continuing, "He only recently hooked up with me…It was a few days ago."

Sasuke nodded in understanding. Hinata turned to Naruto and said, "I have to go and take care of something. Would you excuse me?"

Hinata hurried out of the classroom, leaving the rest of the group behind.

"So you guys weren't going out for three years, then," Sasuke implied. Shikamaru, Shino, Kiba and Chouji saw what Sasuke was doing. Naruto did also, but he kept his cool. Sasuke turned and walked up the stairs and walked back to his desk and sat back down. Naruto followed and stood in front of Sasuke's desk.

"So we weren't going out for three years," Naruto interjected. "What does it matter? I recently asked Hinata-chan to become my girlfriend after telling her how much I like and care about her. It just took me three years to get to know her before I finally-"

"I wanted to get to know her also," Sasuke cut in. "I had as good of a chance as you, except you kept getting in my way."

"And why shouldn't I have?" Naruto retorted. "Why should I have stepped aside and let you take the one girl that liked me, when you had all of the other girls you could have chosen from?"

"Hinata is different," Sasuke replied, continuing, "She is someone I respect and admire for her traits and personality. If I was given the chance, I'm sure I'd have proven to be the better choice."

Naruto jumped on top of the table and crouched down to face Sasuke with a glare. Sasuke returned his glare full blown.

"You may believe yourself to be a better choice for Hinata-chan, Sasuke-teme," Naruto remarked as he moved his face closer to Sasuke's, then went on, "But hands down, Hinata-chan finds me to be the best choice for her! That's the difference between us! So go look for your own girl-"

"Fight me," Sasuke challenged. "Right now!"

"Forget it," Naruto replied. "I won't waste my time with the likes of-"

Naruto was suddenly cut off as another boy sitting in from of them suddenly stood up from his seat and bumped the desk Naruto was standing on, causing Naruto to lose balance and fall forward into Sasuke's direction. Realizing he accidentally knocked into something, the boy turned to see a sight nobody was expecting to see. In front of everyone was a shocked, wide-eyed Sasuke, who was suddenly lip locked with an equally wide-eyed and blushing Ino. What added to the shock was that their tongues also met from the contact. The scene was too hard to believe, as everyone staring had one question in mind:

"What the hell just happened?"

Freaked out, Sakura suddenly grabbed her pink hair and screamed in dismay and horror at what was now burned into her and everyone's memories. Snapped back to reality from the shock, seconds later, Sasuke pushed Ino off him and ran out of the classroom, holding his lips. Ino was still kneeling on Sasuke's desk before slowly reaching for her lips, with the blush and expression of surprise still present on her face.

Naruto, in the meantime, was standing in the area Ino was previously standing in as he watched Sasuke run from the room. Naruto had hurriedly switched places with Ino just a second before his lips almost came into contact with Sasuke's.

"That was way too close!" a relieved Naruto remarked with feelings of disgust flowing through him. "I was almost poisoned! My mouth was almost ruined!"

"Naruto," Sakura said in a darkened tone filled with malice and pouring bloodlust as she cracked her knuckles. "You make me sick!"

Naruto turned to see Sakura and the other girls ready to release their burning rage on the blond Jinchuuriki. Ino, however, rushed over to Naruto and stood between him and Sakura.

"Now wait a minute," Ino spoke up. "Don't go venting your rage on Naruto just because you missed out on such a wonderful moment."

"Shut up!" Sakura shouted. "What happened moments ago wasn't anything romantic! Naruto just used you to save his own ass!"

"You're such a damn hypocrite, Forehead Girl!" Ino retorted, then explained, "What if that didn't happen, and he ended up kissing Sasuke by accident anyway? You'd have tried to attack and beat him up regardless! You're just jealous because Naruto found it more fitting that I be used to give Sasuke-kun his first kiss instead of someone like you! (Dreamily) And unlike you, I was privileged in being used to sample the sweet taste of Sasuke-kun's lips as our tongues met and danced together."

Sakura and the other girls were seething as they redirected their bloodlust from Naruto to Ino. Naruto used that momentary distraction to sneak away and make a quick exit from the class. That was, until Sasuke reappeared through the door with a hardened expressions.

"Hey Sasuke!" Naruto greeted. "I didn't expect to see you so soon. And what's with that face you're looking at me with? Now that you know what kissing a girl is like, I figured that perhaps now you would focus on trying to get Ino-"

"Fight me," Sasuke challenged. "Right now!"

"What?" Naruto retorted, then complained, "I just barely got away from your fangirls wanting a fight with me, and now you want to fight me as well? Can't we just laugh this off and move on with our-"

"Fight me Naruto!" Sasuke challenged again. "I've been meaning to show you your place and the difference between the two of us, dobe! I want to show that your time isn't worth seeking!"

Shikamaru and the other guys knew what Sasuke meant by his last statement. He was referring to Naruto's time with Hinata.

"It's about Hinata-chan," Naruto figured as he scratched the back of his head. "Well, despite that, I can see that you're not too upset about the kiss incident with Ino."

"Considering the alternative," Sasuke remarked. "I'd have killed you brutally."

"Oh yeah?" Naruto shot back. "Regardless of the fact that it's the fault of some idiot who stood up at the worst time possible as he knocked the desk I was crouching down on top of? He was the one who started this whole mess!"

The said unnamed male Genin was now nervous, fearing that he was going to be exposed and beaten badly for causing the accident in the first place.

"Still," Naruto continued, "I've been meaning to challenge you to another battle so I could put you in your place! Only this time, I'll be sure to keep you there! The academy training ground, right now, teme!"

"Let's settle this, dobe!" Sasuke accepted before he and Naruto made their way to their destination with the whole class following after them.

"This is so unnecessarily troublesome," Shikamaru remarked with boredom as he went along with the rest of the class, "There's really no point in all this."

"C'mon," Kiba replied, "On the plus side of things, we get to see a free fight between the Rookie of the Year and this year's Dead Last."

It wasn't long before the crowd of Genins arrived at their destination. The group kept a safe distance in case things got out of hand between the two combatants.

"All right, teme," Naruto said. "Here are the ground rules: anything goes! Use whatever jutsu or force you see fit!"

"You're really asking for it," Sasuke replied, smirking. "You don't stand a chance dobe."

"Oh yeah?" Naruto retorted before making a hand sign. "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!"

With a burst of white smoke, three Naruto clones puffed into existence and surrounded Sasuke with the original at all four sides. Sakura and Sasuke's other fangirls were cheering him on, while Ino was divided between wanting to cheer Sasuke on and not wanting Naruto be beaten up too bad after what he did.

Before Sasuke could do anything, Naruto and his kage bunshins burst into white smoke. When the smoke cleared, granting everyone sight again, everyone now saw Naruto and his clones transformed into Hinata, Hanabi, Shikamaru, and Hiruzen. Everyone was wondering what Naruto was trying to pull.

"Sasuke-san," one of the transformed kage bunshin said, imitating Hinata's voice, character and appearance, "Y-You can't ha-have me. I belong to Naruto-kun. I have for a long time. A-a-and he belongs to me. Our hearts beat as one. I have no romantic feelings or desires for you."

"Hanabi" jumped in and said, "I don't know why you're so interested in my sister. I don't even need my Byakugan to see that she doesn't like you. So why do you insist on pursuing Hinata-neesan when she made it clear time and time again that she'll never be your girlfriend?"

"Shikamaru" placed his hands in his pants pockets and remarked with boredom, "Your interest in Hinata is really troublesome and a waste of everyone's time. There's no way you'll ever have romantic ties with her, and she clearly doesn't want that with you. It's tiring watching you yearning pitifully for Naruto's girlfriend."

"Hiruzen" now spoke up, "Understand this, Sasuke. A team consisting of the Byakugan and Sharingan will not happen. And I definitely won't allow it if it's just to satisfy your own selfish desires in having some way of seducing and influencing Hinata to fall for you and forsake the one person she felt genuine affections for. Henceforth, my decree to you is…"

Naruto dropped the transformations, dispelled his kage bunshins, and stated firmly, "Get over it!"

By this point, Sasuke's blood was boiling after listening to all of the stinging comments and remarks that were being made against him.

"When I get through with you," Sasuke threatened with a hardened tone. "There won't be enough left to identify your body."

"Would you, as the Rookie of the Year, really go so far as to break Hinata-chan's heart by hurting the Dead Last she loves," Naruto replied, "She would never forgive you, nor would she accept your comfort."

"Shut up!," Sasuke growled before he rushed at Naruto who in turned rushed at him. The two met in the center of the training and engaged each other in fierce taijutsu combat. Many of the guys were rooting and shouting as the two Genins battled it out against each other.

(Back Inside The Building)

Hinata was making her way back to class after fixing herself in the girls' restroom. Upon her return to class, she found that no one was there.

"Where did everybody go?" Hinata asked with a confused expression. A moment later, her ears picked up on a faint mixed sound of screaming, yelling and cheering. Going over to the window, she looked outside and saw a large crowd of Genins circled around Naruto and Sasuke as they engaging each other in an all-but-friendly taijutsu battle.

"Naruto-kun!" Hinata shouted as she ran from out of the class and into the hallway. She hurried down the stairs and headed over to the door leading to where her boyfriend and Sasuke were fighting. Upon reaching the door however, a hand reached out and grabbed her by the left arm. She turned to see the person that grabbed and stopped her from leaving.

(Meanwhile)

Sasuke and Naruto had backed away from each other, each taking a fighting stance. The Rookie of the Year had a few bruises on him while Naruto sustained several more bruises and a busted lip that was seeping a little bit of blood. Both of their clothes looked ragged and dirtied but neither of the combatants looked ready to throw in the towel.

"I have this fight won Naruto," Sasuke said. "Save yourself the embarrassment and admit defeat."

"Aren't you full of yourself, teme?" Naruto remarked, then countered, "The real fight hasn't even started yet. All you're doing is wasting time you could be using to kiss Ino over there."

Before a retort be could be given, Naruto transformed into Ino. The difference was that "her" long blonde hair was undone and flowing freely down "her" back while "she" posed in front of a tree in a most suggestive manner. "Her" back was arched with "her" breasts pushed forward while "her" hands were up against the tree with "her" butt sticking out. Some of "her" hair fell over "her" face giving "her" more of an exotic look to her lustful and yearning expression.

"Wouldn't you rather use all of the primal energy and passion on me Sasuke-kun," "Ino" asked in a very husky and sensual tone as "she" glided her left hand down to her left cheek and groped it, "I promise to make it worth your wild as I ride you to heaven."

The result of that stunt had an immediate impact as the guys seeing this all suffered from instant sexual arousal and nasal blood loss. Sasuke too fell victim to the attack as blood seeped down his nose. Ino's eyes were widened as she was blushing hotly with her hands over her mouth at what just happened while Sakura looked ready to brutally murder Naruto. Ino was totally speechless at seeing how Naruto used "her" in such an erotic and sexual overtone to the point that all of the boys, especially Sasuke, became highly aroused. And speaking of Naruto; he dispelled the henge and started cracking up with in a fit of laughter.

I've been trying to get that reaction from Sasuke-kun for years! Ino thought as she watched the scene before her in utter disbelief. No matter what I did I could never get it! Yet Naruto is able to do so by changing into some hot girl or an erotic version of me! This is just wrong!

"Bastard!" Sasuke cursed as she wiped the blood off his nose. "You'll pay for that!"

"Oh yeah?" Naruto laughed, "I'd like to see you tr-"

"NARUTO!," Iruka yelled as he, and the other academy teachers came on the scene to break up the fight that was taking place, "What's the meaning of this?"

"Nothing really," Naruto replied as his laughter calmed down, "Just a spar Sasuke wanted to have with me. I won of course."

Seeing her opportunity, Sakura punched Naruto hard in the back of his head.

"The only thing you won idiot is my wrath and a well-deserved beat down," Sakura barked, "I'm going make you pay for that last act of stupidity and for what you did to Sasuke-kun!"

"What's the matter," Naruto retorted, "Jealous that Ino and Sasuke inadvertently shared their first kiss together and she managed to give him a hard-on? I don't see how that's so surprising, seeing as she isn't flat-chested and masculine like you!"

Sakura gave Naruto a look that promised much pain and suffering. Before she could do anything Iruka cut in.

"That's enough out of you Naruto," Iruka scolded, "You caused enough trouble as is it!"

"Me?" Naruto shot back, "I didn't do anything worth getting in trouble for!"

"I said no more out of you Naruto!" Iruka said with his voice raised, "Now all of you back to class! Your Jounin senseis are arriving to in a few minutes, and none of you have been assigned to your teams yet!"

Everyone did as instructed and went back inside the building to their class. When they arrived there, they came upon an unexpected and confusing sight. Hinata was sitting on Naruto's lap in front of Iruka's desk in his chair, flirting and making out with him.

"What will you t-t-teach me…in exchange for granting you my fa-favor, Naruto-sensei," Hinata asked in a flirtatiously shy and stuttering tone.

"That depends on the nature and magnitude of your favor," Naruto replied.

"Whatever that favor is you want granted to you," Iruka interjected, "Don't do it in my classroom or at my desk!"

Naruto and Hinata looked to see everyone looking at straight at them. Hinata squealed as she blushed dark red and jumped off Naruto's lap. By that time, Ino and several of the others girls were giggling at what happened while the guys themselves minus Sasuke were snickering at Naruto wanting a favor granted to him by Hinata. Many of them already had a thought about what kind of favor he was looking to get.

"Wait a minute," Sasuke spoke up. "How are you here when-"

"Seeing that I've been exposed," "Naruto" interjected while standing outside the classroom with the others, "I guess there's no need for me to be here anymore."

"Naruto" popped into a cloud of smoke, revealing himself to being a kage bunshin.

"A kage bunshin?" Sasuke realized, "You mean to say that was a clone the entire time?"

"I told you that the real fight hadn't even started yet!" Naruto remarked with a mischievous grin, "You wanted a fight so bad, but I figured I'd let my kage bunshins keep you entertained while Hinata-chan kept me entertained; which was why I kept her from heading outside where you and everyone else were. When did I pull the switch between me and my kage bunshin? None of you need to know."

Sasuke growled at seeing how Naruto played him. Shikamaru was carefully thinking about everything that's been happening since the time Naruto and Hinata came into class early that morning. The Nara heir, as a result, started questioning things he thought he knew about Naruto and in some cases, things he thought he knew about Hinata as well.

"Naruto-baka, you jerk!" Sakura screeched. "You're not funny pulling pranks on Sasuke-kun and trying to make him look bad!"

"That's enough!" Iruka spoke up, then commanded, "Naruto, please return to your desk. And that goes for the rest of you. I still have to tell all of you which teams you've been assigned to."

Everyone did as instructed in returning back to their seats. Despite everything, Sasuke managed to cool down and not give into his anger.

"Now listen carefully as I go through the list of names and teams and the Jounin assigned to those teams," Iruka said before going through all of the names on his clipboard. After a few minutes Iruka reached the seventh team. "Team 7 will consist of Uchiha Sasuke-"

All of the girls whose names weren't called minus Hinata were hoping their name was going to be called next. Their dreams were shattered the moment Iruka pronounced the next person's name.

"Haruno Sakura-"

Sakura yelled and cheered loudly upon hearing her name called. Sasuke's head dropped with a frown of displeasure upon seeing that Hinata wasn't assigned to his team.

"Take that Ino-pig!" Sakura cheered. "I'm on the same team as Sasuke-kun and you're not!"

Ino snarled at Sakura, who flashed her a victory smile. Sakura's joy was soon short lived and Sasuke's displeasure was only going to rise when they heard the name of their third member.

"And Uzumaki Naruto."

"WHAT?" Sakura screamed in outrage as Sasuke's eyes widened upon hearing Naruto's name. Sasuke turned to Naruto who was looking back at him.

"Didn't I tell you that neither of us would get Hinata-chan on our team?" Naruto asked. Sakura turned back to Iruka and said, "There must be some mistake! There's no way that this baka is on the same team as me and Sasuke-kun! I refuse to believe that!"

"It was the Hokage himself who assigned you all to these teams Sakura," Iruka said, "If you don't like it, then take it up with the Hokage himself. He arranged these teams based on everyone's skills, academic and physical strengths, stamina, and other abilities. Sasuke is the Rookie of the Year, while you, Sakura, ranked the highest than the rest of the girls in terms of book smarts. But to keep the balance maintained, Naruto, being this year's Dead Last, was placed with you both in hopes that this will help him improve and become stronger with you both together with him."

Iruka-sensei, Naruto thought, After what happened the other day, even I know you don't believe all of that crap you're saying.

"And you're Jounin sensei will be Hatake Kakashi," Iruka continued, "Team 8 will consist of Aburame Shino, Inuzuka Kiba, and Hyuuga Hinata. Your Jounin sensei will be Yuhi Kurenai."

Damn it, Sasuke cursed in his mind, She was assigned to a team with those two?

"Grant me the pleasure of seeing that look on your face, Teme," Naruto mocked before Sasuke turned and snarled at him, "Oh, the sweet memory of that look on your face is now etched in my mind. Now you see what I told you was true."

"Shut up, Naruto!" Sakura retorted, "I'm more than suitable to be the female teammate for Sasuke-kun!"

"You've got no argument from me," Naruto said, "Though a few other girls wouldn't agree."

"Enough of your petty disputing," Iruka went on, "Team 9 is still active, so we'll go on to the next team formation. Team 10 will consist of Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Chouji and Yamanaka Ino. Your Jounin instructor will be Sarutobi Asuma."

Shikamaru and Chouji were grinning since they were assigned to the same team, while Ino was ready to protest.

"You can't be serious about me being assigned to these two clowns," Ino protested. "There's just no way!"

"Like I said before," Iruka replied, then explained "These were the team formations made by the Hokage himself, and his decision on the matter is final. I had no say in any of the team's formations. Next team…"

The announcements of the team formations continued until Iruka got to the last team.

"And that's everyone here," Iruka concluded. "All of you now are on official ninja teams with capable Jounin senseis who will teach you guys far more in advancing yourselves and your careers. Do your best, and always bear the will of fire in your hearts.

"Now that you all have been assigned to yours teams, I'll go and report to your Jounin senseis."

Iruka exited the class, leaving all of the Genins behind.

"This blows!" Ino complained, "I can't believe I have to be on the same team with Chouji and his lazy as hell friend!"

"Having you as our teammate is no paradise for us either Ino," Shikamaru remarked, "So suck it up and deal with it. It's more troublesome hearing your unneeded complaints anyway. Besides, our fathers were on the same team before, so I'm assuming that the Hokage wants the Ino-Shika-Cho trio continuing with us."

"Ha!" Sakura shouted. "Take that Ino-pig! True love prevails in the end! Sasuke-kun and I were meant to be together!"

"Don't expect to be kissing Sasuke-kun!" Ino retorted. "We both know he wouldn't want your lips anywhere near his!"

As the two argued, Kiba and Shino made their way over to Hinata.

"Clearly, Kiba and I have been assigned to work together with you Hinata-san," Shino said stating the obvious, "Though we haven't associated much during our time here at the academy, I still look forward to working alongside you and becoming a good comrade and friend for you and Kiba."

Hinata nodded, "Thank you. I hope for that too."

"I bet you'd rather be one the same team with your boyfriend," Kiba teased, "But I'm sure we'll have just as much fun, without getting in trouble with the villagers."

"Just make sure nothing happens to Hinata-chan while she's with you both," Naruto interjected, "I want her to be brought back in one piece."

"Relax, Naruto," Kiba replied, "I'm sure Shino, Hinata, and I can take on whatever challenges come our way."

"We're aware of your concerns for Hinata-san," Shino said, "But we're confident that we'll looked out for each other and improve ourselves a day at a time."

"That's what I like to hear," a feminine voice spoke up from behind them. The group turned to see Kurenai approaching them.

"I was listening to you guys talk for a little right before I came in, and so far, I like what I heard," Kurenai said. "I already have a favorable impression of you three. I'm Yuhi Kurenai and I'll be your Jounin sensei from this point on. But we'll save the introductions for later, so if you three would please follow me."

Team 8 nodded and followed Kurenai out. As they were leaving…

"Tell me how things went later Hinata-chan," Naruto called out after his girlfriend. Hinata smiled and waved at him as she left the classroom. Asuma then came in with the other Jounin senseis.

"All right now," Asuma said loudly. "Where's my team of misfits? All three members of Team 10 follow me outside," Asuma said as he started heading out to the door with his hands in his pants pockets, "This place has a strict no-smoking policy, and I'm in need of a cigarette right about now."

Naruto snickered at Asuma's attitude.

"I can tell that he'll be a load of fun," Shikamaru remarked cynically.

"I'm sure he's not that bad," Chouji said while munching his potato chips as he got up and followed Shikamaru out. Ino started sulking as she made her way out with them.

"This really sucks," Ino mumbled under her breath as she left the classroom. Soon all of the other Genins filed out with their respective Jounin senseis, leaving Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura in the classroom waiting for Kakashi's arrival.

(Three Hours Later)

"Where the hell is he?" Sakura complained, "What kind of Jounin shows up this freaking late for his team?"

Sasuke just grunted in boredom at his desk while Naruto was sitting at the opposite end of the classroom by the open window, snickering and blushing while reading his favorite Icha-Icha Paradise book. Sakura turned and looked at Naruto with disgust as he read the sexually explicit orange book.

"The shy and timid Shinto priestess and the lonely honorable samurai," Naruto snickered, "Well, Hikari ain't so shy and timid, and Daisuke's not so lonely anymore."

"How can you read that garbage?" Sakura exclaimed, "Furthermore, how were you even able to get a hold of that book?"

Naruto just ignored her because he was too engrossed in the story he was reading. Another perverted giggle escaped his mouth with the blush ever present on his face.

"You know, Naruto, if Kakashi-sensei were to catch you reading that stuff he'd be ashamed," Sakura remarked. "He would keep you from reading that stuff while we're on missions and training."

"Speaking of training, Sakura," Naruto spoke with his head still in his book, "I believe that all of us should be properly taught all lessons we would need in life. Therefore, being the responsible teammate that I wish to be, I'm going to give you some instructions in what being with a man and being a woman involves. After all, we've been learning how to kill so it only makes sense that we learn about other serious matters, don't you think?"

"What are you getting at?" Sakura asked curiously.

Reading from his favorite section of his Icha-Icha Paradise book, Naruto spoke in a girlish voice, ""Daisuke-sama!" The virgin Shinto priestess Hikari exhaled after the almost nude Daisuke finished peel off the last of her remaining garments and robe. He tenderly laid kisses over her neck and breasts as he slowly lowered her down on her soft bed. She looked completely vulnerable and helpless as she looked at him longingly.

"Grinning at the beautiful virgin lying before him, he removed his last undergarment and moved onto the bed with her as he then hovered over her slender body. She looked down to see the stiffened and elongated object that was poking her and blushed darkly with a frightened expression.

""What is that massive thing?"' the shy virgin priestess cried out, having never seen a man's piece before."

Naruto changed his tone to a manlier one, ""This?" Daisuke said smoothly and persuasively. "This, my fair priestess, is my sacred love rod that I will use to join us in union. Please don't be afraid. I promise to be gentle as I slowly slide it into your warm body allowing us to become one in mind, body and soul.""

Naruto's voice became girlish again and a bit high pitched, ""You wish to put that inside me, Daisuke-sama?" the innocent priestess replied. "But won't that hurt?"

"Daisuke smiled and kissed Hikari affectionately as he slowly pushed his positioned rod into her untouched threshold, causing her to moan from the feeling and sensations of being spread open for the first time as she held onto his back. Reaching her barrier, he looked her in the eyes and assured her, "I'm sorry if this hurts at first, as I never desired to bring you pain. But after a few short moments of my gentle stroking, you'll experience nothing but the bliss of our union and enjoy having me deep inside you.""

Naruto was so engrossed in his storytelling that he failed to see Sakura's fist plunge into the back of his book, ultimately causing the book to nearly crash into his face as he as fell off his seat and dropped his book in the process.

"Damn it, Sakura, what the hell?" Naruto shouted indignantly, "We were just getting to the best part!"

"Naruto!" a blushing Sakura screeched, "You disgust me! It's beyond me how Hinata could date and stand the sight of you! Kakashi-sensei will weep when he sees that we have someone as perverted, senseless, and untalented as you for a teammate!"

"You shouldn't make quick judgments about people you don't know, girl," a masculine voice said from the door. Everyone turned to see the man of the hour, three late hours to be exact.

"I'm assuming you're Kakashi," Sasuke said. "You're just arriving here, huh?"

"Actually," Kakashi corrected, "I was here for a while when I got caught up in Naruto's enchanting storytelling. It was saddening when his brilliant narrative was interrupted by someone who evidently doesn't appreciate good reading."

Sakura's mouth dropped with her eyes widened in absolute shock at what she was hearing. Naruto got up and picked up his book.

"So, you like Icha-Icha Paradise?" Naruto asked with a mischievous smile as headed over and stood in front of Kakashi.

"No, Naruto I don't like Icha-Icha Paradise," Kakashi replied, then grinned beneath his mask and exclaimed, "I love Icha-Icha Paradise! Plus I happened to be a huge fan myself!"

"Me too!" Naruto said excitedly, then asked "Did you read "The Chronicles of The Missing Textiles Diaries" series?"

"Did I?" Kakashi asked with a blush and giggle, "I recently bought the whole limited edition collection. They're at my home now after they arrived by mail yesterday."

"No fair!" Naruto shouted, "You have any idea how hard I've been trying to get a hold of that series?"

Sakura and Sasuke looked at Naruto and Kakashi in sheer denial and disbelief.

"WHAT?" Inner-Sakura screamed, "You mean to say that we have a sensei who's just as bad and perverted as Naruto? Some higher power must really hate Sasuke-kun and me! This isn't fair! This can't be happening! This so can't be happening!"

Sasuke cleared his throat loudly catching everyone's attention.

"It's bad enough that you're three hours late, Kakashi," Sasuke remarked. "After revealing that you have hobbies similar to Naruto's as well, I have a really bad impression of you."

"Whatever," Kakashi shrugged, "Anyway, meet me outside at the park near the lake east of this building."

Kakashi disappeared in a cloud of smoke and left the scene.

"Maybe this Kakashi-sensei might not be so bad after all," Naruto smiled, "His hobbies being similar to mine earns him major pluses in my book."

"Just what we need," Sakura remarked. "A pervert like you for a sensei."

Naruto and Sasuke ignored her as they hurried to where Kakashi told them to meet him. It wasn't until another twenty minutes that they arrived at their destination. When they arrived, they found Kakashi sitting on the stairs with one of the books of the series Naruto had spoken of.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto called out, grabbing the Jounin's attention as his eye reluctantly moved away from the book.

"You three made it here faster than I expected," Kakashi said, "All right then. Now everyone take a seat on the stairs here."

Naruto and the others did as they were told while the Jounin placed his book in his pouch and got started.

"Now that we're all here," Kakashi said, "Let's get things rolling. First off, we'll start off by introducing ourselves to each other; tell us your name, hobbies, interests, dislikes, future long term goals, and all that good stuff."

"Can you give us a demonstration of that, Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked.

"OK then," Kakashi shrugged, "I'm Hatake Kakashi. One of my hobbies is reading Icha-Icha Paradise as you already know. My interests, dislikes, and future goals, you don't need to know."

"You didn't tell us much," Sakura replied.

"No," Kakashi admitted, "Only what I wanted to tell you guys. And seeing that you like to speak your mind, why don't you start off with the introductions?"

Sakura cleared her throat and started off, "I'm Haruno Sakura. My hobbies include studying, books…(turns and looks at Sasuke)…and hanging out with my friends. My interests are (turns and looks at Sasuke)…and my long term goal includes (turns and looks at Sasuke with a blush)."

"And what are your dislikes?" Kakashi asked with a bored and lazy tone.

"NARUTO!" Sakura screamed loudly.

"Well, you're no breath of sunshine either," Naruto remarked. Sakura was about to smack Naruto but Kakashi intervened.

"No need for unnecessary violence, please," Kakashi said, then turned to Naruto and added, "Now Naruto, seeing as your name was screamed so passionately by Sakura, why don't you go next?"

Sakura frowned and grumbled at the fact that Kakashi was already making fun of her.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto started with a large grin, "Besides eating ramen at Ichiraku, my favorite hobbies including spying, training, and being with my beautiful and loving girlfriend Hinata-chan, teasing and spending time with her younger sister Hanabi, who swears she can kick my ass in a straight fight, being with Hiashi-san when it doesn't include facing him when he's angry and listening to him threatening to hurt me if I get any of his two daughters in any bit of trouble, spending time with Sandaime-jiisan and Konohamaru, spending time with Teuchi-jiisan and Ayame-neechan, and pulling pranks. Also, my interests include reading Icha-Icha Paradise and bathhouses."

"You mean peeking at women in bathhouses," Sakura snorted.

"Whatever," Naruto shrugged, "My dislikes includes people who discriminate and prejudge me without knowing anything about me which includes most of the villagers, being blamed and looked down on for things that were never my fault and those who claim to be real ninjas but know nothing about what it really means and traitors. My long terms goals include marrying my loving girlfriend Hinata-chan and having children with her. I intend to not only become Hokage but also establish a whole new Uzumaki clan with me as its clan leader, a clan that this village will owe a huge homage to!"

A whole new Uzumaki clan? Kakashi stayed quiet as he analyzed Naruto's words carefully, A clan that this village will owe a huge homage to.

Kakashi was very well aware of the Uzumaki clan and their reputation with their mastery of seals. He looked at Naruto and wondered if Naruto really knew about the existence of the Uzumaki clan.

"Intriguing goals you have there Naruto, forming a new clan in Konoha," Kakashi commented, "But establishing a clan is no easy feat, and it'll require much needed land, funding and resources."

"That's why after I marry my lovely girlfriend," Naruto explained, "We'll form a whole new joint Uzumaki-Hyuuga clan. I can just see it now! I'll also help Hinata-chan change the way of the Hyuuga Clan!"

This kid has some rather honorable and constructive goals, Kakashi thought before turning to Sasuke. "Okay, Mr. Sunshine, you're up."

Ignoring the name he was called, Sasuke started off, "I'm Uchiha Sasuke. My hobbies includes training, becoming stronger, and surpassing my limits. I have many dislikes which also includes fangirls and Naruto, but I'm interested in a certain girl. My goals include becoming a strong ninja, and gaining the acknowledgment and affections of that certain girl and rebuilding my clan with her after I kill a certain man."

"And if by "certain girl" you mean Hinata-chan and by "certain man" you mean me," Naruto remarked, "Then you'd better wake up, because Hinata-chan will never allow you to kill me just so you can have and impregnate her!"

"Idiot!" Sasuke retorted, "I wasn't talking about you when I said I wanted to kill a certain man! I was talking about somebody else entirely!"

Kakashi took careful note that Sasuke was quick to correct Naruto about the "certain man" part but he didn't argue with Naruto about the "certain girl" part of his speech. Both Kakashi and Naruto were aware of Itachi slaughtering the Uchiha clan but Naruto wanted to see what Sasuke's intentions were.

Why won't you look at me as that certain girl, Sasuke-kun, Sakura thought sadly.

"Now that we've got the introductions done," Kakashi said, "We'll move on to the next objective, which is the test I'll give you three tomorrow to see if you all are really ready for the ninja life."

"Test?" Sakura asked, "What test? We already took the Genin Exams."

"The academy merely gave you a test to judge whether or not you all could perform the basic fundamentals of jutsu and other arts. My test will judge whether you three will meet the merit of being a team of ninjas. Meet me tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock at the training ground in front of the Konoha Memorial Stone. And don't eat anything before my test. You'll just puke it up. Till then, enjoy the rest of your day. Oh, and Sasuke, will you stay behind for a bit please?"

"Hn," Sasuke grunted before Sakura and Naruto stood up.

"Before I go, Kakashi-sensei," Naruto asked, "Could you lend me that book of yours?"

"Actually," Kakashi said, "I haven't finished reading that book yet, and I'm just dying to find out what happens next, and the plot is just too juicy and sweet to share with you right now."

"You're being stingy!" Naruto whined as he pointed his index finger at him accusingly.

"Life can be cruel sometimes," Kakashi said as he eye smiled. "So until tomorrow, Naruto."

Naruto huffed and walked off away from the others, grumbling unintelligible utterances.

"Sakura you can leave too now," Kakashi said.

"Is it alright for me to wait here for Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked.

"Actually," Kakashi said, "I wish to discuss a private matter with Sasuke, if that's alright with you."

Sakura sighed in defeat, "Very well. (Becomes perky again) I guess I'll see you tomorrow, Sasuke-kun!"

The pink-haired Genin left and went about her business. After she was gone, Kakashi turned his attention back to Sasuke.

"Now Sasuke," Kakashi asked, "What's this about your interest in your teammate's girlfriend?"

"That's none of your concern," Sasuke replied.

"Actually," Kakashi shot back, "It is my concern. Such personal issues and tensions strain and hinder the team's overall dynamics, and that could lead to continuous fights, mistrust, suspicions of the other's motives, and possible betrayal.

"I know that I didn't mention this earlier, but I'm well aware of the issues between you and Naruto regarding your one-sided romantic interest in the Hyuuga heiress. I also know about that fight that took place earlier today at the academy, and I know that the matter centered around Hinata."

Sasuke saw that Kakashi clearly knew more about him and the others than he thought. Still, that didn't deter Sasuke in the very least.

"Hinata didn't even give me a chance to prove that I'm the one she should be with," Sasuke argued, "I find Hinata to be a girl with true potential, and I don't believe Naruto, the class clown and dead last, could ever bring that out of her."

"And you actually believe that you could?" Kakashi asked.

"I have no doubt in my abilities," Sasuke answered. "I tried to convince Sandaime to let Hinata join my team but he shut me down and said that a team with both the Byakugan and Sharingan wouldn't work."

"It wouldn't," Kakashi said, "And Sandaime-sama wasn't making that up. Such a team was once attempted years ago. Uchiha Shisui and Hyuuga Kō were once part of the same team. Both were skilled and capable ninjas, but neither of their abilities helped the other, and both sought to prove their respective clan's doujutsu and fighting style was stronger and better than the other. This led to violent strains between them to the point that on one of their missions together, their client was targeted and killed right under their noses.

"Konoha, as a result, lost a major benefactor, who in fact was an ambassador and close friend and confident of a foreign and wealthy daimyo, who never again sought services from Konoha. In effect, the team was dissolved, both Kō and Shisui lost face with the Hokage and the shinobi council, and they were both slapped with a two month suspension. It was their track record of loyal and efficient services to Konoha that saved them from being demoted."

"But that was the past!" Sasuke argued. "That doesn't mean that such a thing would happen between me and Hinata."

"It doesn't change the fact that many since then believe that the Byakugan and Sharingan don't mix," Kakashi replied, "Plus, Hinata evidently accepts Naruto for both his good and bad habits, and Naruto did likewise with her. I believe that your tunnel vision on Hinata will only blind you from seeing other potential females who, if given the chance to prove themselves, might be an even better catch for you than Hinata. My advice to you, Sasuke, is to stop this senseless desire for Hinata. If you don't, it'll only lead to bad blood between you and your teammates. Such events will only spiral down to even bigger troubles as a result. Understand?"

Sasuke gave no verbal reply, only grunting in response.

"I'll let you leave and think about what I said," Kakashi said as he pulled out his orange book. "Until tomorrow, stay out of trouble."

Kakashi teleported to another location, leaving a cloud of smoke and Sasuke by himself. Putting his hands in his pants pockets, Sasuke walked off with Kakashi's words fresh on his mind. Whether or not Sasuke would listen to Kakashi's advice relied entirely on him.

All of the Genin Teams have been formed, but tensions between the members of Team 7 are clearly seen by Kakashi and others. Will the members of Team 7 put aside their personal differences and learn to work together, or will they repeat history in allowing their grudges and personals difference to hinder their teamwork dynamics? Find out what happens next time!
