2 years later...
Today is the day on which Naruto and Menma will graduate from the academy, the blond has put on his orange-blue outfit
"Hurry up, idiot, or we'll be late," Menma said as they passed Naruto's room
"I'm coming"
The Uzumaki brothers went downstairs, there the family was waiting for him
"Onii-chan, good luck," Rika said
"Do your best," Kushina added
"Of course, datebayo"
Menma said nothing, only muttered something under his breath, the brothers moved towards the academy.
"HEY NARUTO, MENMA!"
Hearing a familiar voice, the blond turned around and saw the Uchiha siblings
"Oh hi Satsuki, Sasuke"
"Hn"
"Tell me, have you been wondering who you'll be on the team with?" Satsuki asked
"Someone you won't have to save every now and then," Menma replied
"You're talking about yourself?" Sasuke interjected with a smirk
"What did you say, Uchiha?" Menma looked angrily at Sasuke, barely refraining from attacking him
"What you heard"
"Calm down, both of you!" Satsuki activated the Sharingan, surprising all three of them
"When did she activate the Sharingan?" Naruto and Sasuke thought
Soon all four reached the academy and everyone took their place, after a while Iruka came to the class
"In the final exam, you have to perform three techniques: Bushin No Jutsu, Henge and Kawarimi"
"Easy," Naruto thought with a confident smile
Each student who managed to perform all three techniques correctly received a Konoha forehead protector. Then those who passed went to the next room to wait for the assignment of teams.
"I wonder if he will end up in a team with Sasuke and Sakura again?" Naruto thought
"Team Seven: Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Namikaze and Satsuki Uchiha"
Naruto was surprised that he wasn't in a team with Sakura, but glad to be with Sasuke and Satsuki, Sasuke didn't seem surprised by the team selection, while Satsuki was happy to be in a team with his brother and Naruto
"Team Six: Menma Namikaze, Sakura Haruno and Sai"
"Why the hell did I end up on a team with a useless girl and some weirdo" thought an irritated Menma
After the teams were announced, everyone was waiting for their sensei. After several hours, only Naruto and Menma's team were still waiting for the sensei
"Where the hell is our sensei!" Menma yelled
"I have a feeling that I know who will be our sensei" said Naruto
"How can you know that?" Satsuki asked curiously
"Think a little, out of all the Chuunins and Jounins, there are only two people who are notoriously late"
The eyes of Menma and the Uchiha siblings widened, guessing who Naruto was talking about
"Wait, who are you talking about?" asked Sakura not aware of anything
"You'll see soon"
Half an hour later, Kakashi and Obito arrived at the office
"Sorry I'm late, I got lost on the road of life"
"A black cat ran across my path"
"THIS IS A LIE, DATTEBAYO!"
