Chapter 1: Team 7 begins
|Shinobi Academy|
March 5
"Now Team 7: Naruto Uzumaki..." Iruka said, gaining the attention of the blonde boy.
'Please Sakura-chan, please Sakura-chan.' Naruto chanted to himself.
".. Hinata Hyuga..."
Naruto and Hinata both exchanged a quick glance, their respective intentions being:
'Well she doesn't insult me or calls me names, so that's great.' The blonde said to himself smiling a bit to the Hyuga girl.
'I'm with Naruto, I'm with Naruto.' The Hyuga internally squeaked.
"…Sasuke Uchiha…"
Those thoughts were quickly replaced by-
"WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" cried both Naruto and Sasuke simultaneously.
"Iruka-sensei please, anybody but Teme!" Naruto begged.
"Iruka-sensei, please no..." Sasuke said hands grabbing his face in annoyance.
"If you have a problem with the squad formations, take it up with the Third."
Realizing that was a polite way of saying 'You're not getting a group swap', both Naruto and Sasuke sat back in their seats, glaring at each other.
"... And finally…"
[+]
(Alright folks the moment we have all been waiting, it is time to declare the winner of the final slot on Team 7 and the winner is …... will be announced after this short break.
...

Wait a minute this isn't a game show)
[+]
This was it, the final slot, the last chance to be on Sasuke's team. All the fan girls in the class had their fingers crossed, muttering prayers to Kami, which one of them is going to be with their beloved Sasuke-kun.
"…Atsushi Kishida…" Iruka finished up.
Almost everyone in the class glanced to the boy sitting beside Naruto on the right. The boy in question had medium short forest green hair, slightly tanned skin and a pair of green eyes on his face. He wore an open, blue short sleeved jacket with a green T-shirt underneath. He also had dark brown shorts and blue shinobi boots.
If anyone could describe the greenette with one word, it will be 'likeable'. Atsushi was known for being hardworking and level-headed, as well as his prowess as a shinobi. He was actually a few points from earning the 'Rookie of the Year' title, which Sasuke ended up receiving because of slightly better grades. Apart from that the two were pretty much equal in aspects regarding their ninja skills.
However, unlike Sasuke, Atsushi had a sense of humor, lacked arrogance and was friendly to the extent of becoming friends with Naruto who was considered the dead last and avoided as such. To top it all up, he wasn't bad-looking in his own terms, or at least that was what he heard from the female students.
As an orphan whose parents were killed in action, Atsushi had seen the harsh side of life just like Naruto, which is one of the qualities that attracted the two to each another. Atsushi being very dedicated to his career spent the most of his time either training with the blonde or his Oji-san (Uncle), reading ninja oriented books, such as survival guides and jutsu theories.
[+]
(Back to the class)
Looks like Kami didn't answer any fan-girlish prayers as groans of disappointment from Sasuke's fan girls echoed across the class. The now identified Atsushi swore he saw what looked like a smile of relief on the Uchiha's face before people began to whisper about the members of Team 7.
"A four-man team?"
"Has that ever happened before?"
"Over 50 years ago to be precise."
"Why is Hinata in the same team as Sasuke, she isn't even a fan girl!" A fan girl asked.
"Naruto and Sasuke on the same team? Who came up with that?" said another.
'At least those two won't hold be back.' Sasuke thought as he glanced at Hinata then Atsushi. Hinata happened to be the only girl who wasn't on his fan club, so she wouldn't try to gain his attention and Atsushi was Naruto's best friend (Only friend actually) but he was a lot more quieter, calmer and smarter than the blonde, plus Atsushi rarely bothered him for anything. The boy had even proven to be difficult to beat during their sparring sessions, always coming second to the Uchiha. So that only leaves Naruto.
"Iruka-sensei!" A random boy called, "Why is Team 7 a four man team?" the other members of the class agreed with the boy.
"Well, that would be because we have a total of 28 students at the end of this year. We couldn't let one student out, so we were obligated to create a team of four members. Hokage-sama decided that placing Naruto with Hinata, Atsushi and Sasuke was the best thing to do due to his late graduation." Iruka explained.
[+]
[Flashback]
48 hours ago, March 3
Naruto slapped his face a couple of times before entering the exam room. He stood in front of the table where Iruka-sensei and Mizuki-sensei sat with fresh Hidden Leaf Headbands right in front of them. He was going to get it this time. He had too.
The final exam comprised of the Henge, Substitution and Clone Jutsu.
"Ok, Naruto, let's see your Clone Jutsu." Iruka stated after the first two had been performed.
Naruto nodded his head and held the necessary hand seals. He concentrated as blue chakra swirled around him ferociously.
"Clone Jutsu!"He screamed out.
When he opened his eye he saw an image of himself just barely standing up, looking a little muted, but to his right was a copy flat on the floor like a dead fish, lacking all color.
Mizuki chuckled. "I mean it's better than last time.'
"But he only pulled off two when everyone else did three," Iruka chimed in. "Can't you see, Mizuki, one of them looks like it's been drinking for three hours straight, and the other is just pathetic."
Naruto was piqued with Iruka's harsh critiques.
"I'm sorry, Naruto. I see you're improved but you still fail."
"Come on, Iruka. Let the kid have it," Mizuki said, trying to persuade Iruka.
"Mizuki, these clones would not fool anyone in the ninja world, that's kind of the whole point of the jutsu. I'm sorry but he is not passing this year."
Naruto held his head low and walked out the room sulkily. As he opened the door, he saw Atsushi in front of him. The Kishida was excited to see his friend's new headband, but his disposition took a turn when he saw Naruto with his head held low.
"I'm sorry Naruto." He reached out to give him a hug but the Uzumaki shrugged him off.
"Not now, Atsushi. I just want to be alone right now." Atsushi just watched as he saw his best friend shuffle out of the Academy.
[+]
Naruto sat gloomily by himself on top of his apartment building thinking about the test. How can he have still failed? He even produced a clone standing up this time! Stupid Iruka. Naruto swung his legs over the ledge wondering what his next step was after this. Just as the sun was setting, Mizuki appeared next to him. He sat down on the edge next to Naruto.
"Naruto, I know you are bummed out but Iruka does have a point, but he also means well with his grading. I think he pushes you because he sees a little of himself in you.''
"Well, I think he pushes a little too hard. I have has so much more help compared to last year and it still was enough. I trained so much, Mizuki-sensei."
Naruto started to tear-up about his wasted effort. Mizuki smiled, it was all going according to plan.
"Well, Naruto, there is one way to graduate without taking the exam." Naruto perked up. "A secret test straight to being a Genin. All you have to do is this..."
[+]
|Konoha|
It was past dusk in the Hidden Leaf Village. The hustle and bustle of the day time died down as families began heading home and the night life started to come alive in full swing. Lampposts lit up the streets for citizens and ninja enjoying the cool summer night. During this time, there was the Kishida's residence with all its lights out, slumbering into the night, until an inconvenience decided to interrupt a particular person's sleep. Knocking on the glass was what awoke the Kishida boy from his blissful sleep. He opened his blinds to see Naruto sitting on his windowsill ledge.
"Why the hell are you here?" Atsushi asked sleepily, wiping away the sleep in his eyes.
"I need your help. Mizuki assigned me a new graduation test." Naruto answered.
"Why would he do that? And why are you up so late then?"
"I don't know, Atsushi but this may be my only chance to pass this year. He gave me all the details about what to do and where to go."
The greenette yawned, "And what are you supposed to do?"
Naruto climbed into his room. "He said I just need to get a scroll," Naruto paused to think, "The Scroll of Sealing, I think, and then go to the spot he said near the outskirts of the village and learn a jutsu."
"And you expect me to just get up in the middle of the night and help you?" Atsushi questioned with his arms crossed.
Naruto stood still. "Uh… Yes. We are friends remember? And friends help each other."
Atsushi walked and sat in the edge of his bed, "Naruto, this might be one mission you have to do on your own."
Naruto rubbed his chin conniving, "Come on, Sushi. Don't make me pull that card.'
"Which card are you talking about?" asked Atsushi, his eyes narrowing a bit.
Naruto smiled mischievously as Atsushi realized what he was planning.
"You wouldn't dare."
"I do and I am pretty sure Ino would love to hear what you think about her?"
Atsushi glared daggers at the blonde. "I shouldn't have played truth and dare with you that day."
Naruto smiled. "We all need our leverages, Sushi. Now let's go."
[+]
2 hours later
Iruka was lying in his bed all alone in his apartment, he was thinking about this orange student. Maybe he should have passed him; he did a better deal than last time. If he just had more time maybe he could continue thinking about hindsight, there was a loud banging against his door. Iruka got up to find Mizuki in full ninja gear.
"Iruka, get ready quickly! Naruto and Atsushi stole the Scroll of Sealing."
[+]
[Elsewhere]
An hour earlier
Naruto was crossed legged, intensively studying the contents of the scroll as Atsushi kept an eye out.
'Focus,' Naruto thought.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" He called.
Atsushi eyes widened as several puffs of smoke surrounded Naruto, and when it dissipated there were five Narutos. Naruto opened his eyes. The clones of Naruto all stared at each other before they all exploded in boisterous cheering.
"Yes, we did it." They all shouted. There were jumping, high-fives, and hugs all around amidst the clones.
"So, you can finally make clones now," Atsushi said with a smirk, ''welcome to the club.'' One of the clones high-fived Atsushi who smiled then paused. "Wait, it didn't disappear, and I can feel it," Atsushi said with a perplexed look.
"So what?" Naruto replied.
Atsushi shook his head, "You don't pay attention do you?" Naruto had a puzzled look on his face.
"The Clone Jutsu only makes images of the user. They can't affect the matter in the world like real people can. I shouldn't be able feel the clone, the jutsu still isn't working."
Naruto looked at the scroll again. "It says it's the Shadow Clone Jutsu, maybe it's a whole different jutsu." Atsushi analyzed the clones. He poked one in the face.
"Hey! What are you doing?" It said not liking the touch.
"They are solid." Atsushi looked the clone up and down and noticed another property. "Wait, they all have shadows. Normal clones don't have those."
Naruto chuckled, "Looks like I learned a jutsu way better than the Academy one.'
Atsushi rolled his eyes. "Yeah, whatever just remember the deal, It's your turn to keep watch, I need to learn some more."
The two switched places with Atsushi now sitting in front of the scroll and Naruto standing up to watch.
[+]
An hour and 17 minutes later
'This has got to be one of their most-' Iruka's line of thought was interrupted by a cry of praise.
"Nice work Atsushi, you got it down."
Iruka followed the voice to find Naruto admiring one of Atsushi's shadow clones.
"YOU TWO! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?" Iruka yelled using his Big Head no Jutsu.
"Um, taken the secret graduation test to become a Genin?" Naruto said sheepishly. "Atsushi helped me get the scroll but I learned the jutsu all by myself."
"Secret graduation test? Naruto, what are you talking about? You stole the forbidden Scroll of Sealing!"
"Forbidden? Mizuki-sensei told Naruto all he had to do was to take the scroll and learn a jutsu to pass." Atsushi explained.
"Mizuki?"
A barrage of kunai was thrown towards the blonde boy. Iruka sensed them and shoved Naruto out of the way. Pinned and bloodied against, he looked up to see the culprit. Mizuki.
"Now, Naruto, I just need you to give me that scroll and you graduate." Mizuki said as he hopped down from a tree branch.
The blonde was dumbfounded by what just occurred. "What-"
"Why did you do that to Iruka-sensei?" Atsushi yelled.
"Because Mizuki lied, there is no secret graduation test. He was using you to get the scroll for himself." The younger ones stared at the blue-haired chunin. "That scroll contains powerful ninjutsu that can cause a war if it falls in the wrong hands."
"I'll admit it, I did use you to get the scroll, but it's not like this is the deciding factor on why the village hates you."
"Mizuki!" Iruka moaned as he pulled the kunai out of his arm and legs. "Don't tell him!'
"Tell me what? Just what is going on here?!' Naruto demanded.
"Even I'm confused by these events." Atsushi agreed.
'Well you see on the day Naruto was born, the Nine-Ta-"
"Shut up, Mizuki!'
Mizuki ignored Iruka and continued, telling them that the Kyubi was sealed inside Naruto, how it destroyed the village, killed hundreds of ninja and citizens alike… and how it also killed Iruka's parents.
Once he was done Atsushi was rendered speechless while Naruto was shaking.
Naruto clenched his teeth. "No!" He shouted his chakra whipping wildly out of control around him.
"Now it's time to do the village a favor by killing the fox." Mizuki grabbed the Fuma shuriken on his back, and threw it full force with the intent to kill Naruto.
"Naruto, move!" Iruka shouted.
Naruto stood there, frozen in fear, as he watched the weapon hurtled towards him. At the last second, Atsushi pushed Naruto out of the way as the shuriken sailed over their heads. Naruto looked at his friend in shock and relief of being saved.
"Don't believe anything he says, Naruto. It's all bullshit." Atsushi said with a smile. "Not everyone in the village hates you. The Third cares about you, Iruka-sensei cares about you even I care about you. You have friends who really care about you."
He turned and faced Mizuki. "Everyone may have lied to him by not telling him the truth. People may not like him because he is the fox's jailer. But He has me and other friends which is not a lie. The only liar I see here is you." Naruto teared up at how much Atsushi was defending him, "Naruto, Iruka's right. We need to return that scroll. Go, now!"
Naruto fled the clearing with the scroll and rushed into the forest with Mizuki in pursue. Atsushi ran over to Iruka to help him get unpinned from the wall. "We have to help Naruto, I will help you wrap up those wounds."
[+]
Some moments later
Iruka caught up to a fleeing Naruto. "Naruto, give me the scroll. I need to return it." Naruto stopped and charged straight into Iruka, causing him to fall to the forest floor. Iruka clenched his gut as he gasped for air. "How did you know...?" 'Iruka' then poofed into Mizuki, "that I wasn't Iruka?" Naruto smirked, "because I am." Naruto then transformed into Iruka. Iruka leaned against a tree to support him. "I don't know why you think you can tame the beast. He's angry now, and when beasts are angry they attack what causes their ire. In Naruto's case, the Hidden Leaf Village."
"Will you cut that out? Naruto is Naruto. Conniving little pranks that just got the short end of the stick. Despite his disadvantages, he works hard with such tenacity that I know he will accomplish a lot in his life. He's not the fox; he's Naruto Uzumaki of the Hidden Leaf Village."
Behind a tree, Naruto quietly sobbed as Atsushi comforted him.
"Iruka, I've had enough of your nonsense." Mizuki pulled out his second shuriken from behind his back. "It's time I ended this partnership."
Just as he threw the shuriken aiming for Iruka's heart, Naruto sprang out from behind the tree and kneed Mizuki right in the face, throwing off Mizuki's trajectory, and causing the shuriken to veer off into the forest. Naruto stood in front of Iruka with Atsushi alongside him, both of them with scowls on their faces.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on our sensei!" Atsushi yelled out.
"If you do, I will kill you!" Naruto said with a threatening glare.
"Oh please! I can beat you down in one single move. I'm a Chunin and you aren't even Genin!"
"Well, technically, I am a Genin," Atsushi mentioned, "either way, we can beat you if we work together." As Atsushi started to weave hand seals, Naruto summoned hundreds of clones of himself that surrounded the forest floor. Iruka gazed in awe at the sheer amount of clones Naruto produced. 'He mastered the Shadow Clone Jutsu?' The Narutos all cracked their fists. "Get ready, Mizuki. You're about to go night-night."
"Finished!" Atsushi shouted. As soon as he produced 3 clones surprising Iruka once again, the Narutos and the Atsushis all charged in.
"Wait, wait, WAIT!"
The clones ganged up on Mizuki until the morning sun rose. Atsushi was treating Iruka's wounds as Naruto cowered over a beaten-up, bloodied Mizuki. "I think I got carried away," Naruto chuckled nervously. Atsushi and Iruka chuckled at the brutish blonde.
"Hey, Naruto, come here. There's something I want to give you. Close your eyes."
Naruto approached Iruka apprehensively and closed his eyes. "Look, I'm sorry for everything. I just wanted to become a ninja so that I was one step closer to being Hokage."
"Well, I'm just here to congratulate you on becoming one step closer."
"What?" When Naruto opened his eyes, Iruka was without his headband. He reached towards his own to see that he had a Hidden Leaf headband on instead of his usual goggles. "Since you mastered a form of the Clone Jutsu, I will let you graduate." Naruto and Atsushi smiled and hugged their teacher. "You kids had a long night, let's go get some ramen to celebrate."
The Third Hokage smiled to himself as he watched the conclusion to the hectic caper of the stolen scroll unfold before him on his crystal ball. It seems the Kishida boy is a good influence on Naruto. Perhaps he can help him control his emotions and thus the seal.
After some bowls of Kami's food (according to Naruto) Iruka led the two back to the Hokage tower where Naruto handed the scroll over to the Third not without a quick apology for knocking him with his Sexy Jutsu which somehow amused Atsushi that the Hokage fell to such a perverted jutsu. Once the two Genin were out of earshot, Hiruzen called Iruka and requested that both boys be placed together in the same team.
[+]
[Flashback Ends]
Present time
"Hmpf, just don't get in my way, dobe." Of course Sasuke said that.
"WHAT WAS THAT, TEME!"
'Those two are going to be the end of each other.' Atsushi sighed.
Iruka coughed gaining the attention of the class and putting an end to the argument before it began, after the class had claimed he called out the remaining teams.
"Team 8," Iruka began, "will be made up of Shino Aburame, Sakura Haruno and Kiba Inuzuka. Your sensei will be Kurenai Yuhi." Sakura wailed at not being on her dream team.
"Team 9 is still active from last year so we're going to move on," Iruka said. "Team 10 will be made up of Choji Akimichi, Shikamaru Nara, and Ino Yamanaka. Your sensei will be Asuma Sarutobi."
"Why am I stuck with these two lazy bums?" Ino wailed as she slammed her head on the desk.
"After lunch, you will meet your new Jonin-sensei. Until then, the class is dismissed!" He then tossed the paper, running out of the classroom shouting 'FREEDOM' only to be found some minutes crying when informed by a school official that he will be teaching a new class next year.
With that said, everyone left the classroom. Sakura and several other girls went outside looking for the raven haired to have lunch together. Sasuke being the one they were after hid himself from the horde of screeching fan girls. Naruto invited the rest of his teammates for some of his holy ramen which they accepted, well technically Atsushi was the only one who accepted, Hinata just fainted.
[+]
2 hours and 30 minutes later
"He's late!" Naruto yelled in frustration as he kept looking outside to see if their new sensei was coming. Hinata and Atsushi both watched him pace up and down the room; Sasuke was on his own releasing random grunts upon realizing that they were the only ones around.
"Don't worry Naruto-kun I s-sure he will soon be here." Hinata said as Naruto was still waiting by the door.
"Naruto, Hinata is right why don't take a sit." Atsushi added pointing to a chair beside him.
"Don't want to! How come our sensei is the only one late, all the other teams have gone off with their sensei on some adventure and Iruka-sensei is gone too!"
After that the two let him be and were occupied with their own thoughts concerning their team. Hinata could hardly believe her luck, she was on a team with her crush just like she wished for and she had also gone out with him for some ramen… with Atsushi of course. Atsushi was grateful that none of Sasuke's banshees were on the team, if they were he wouldn't be able to tolerate any of them especially the pink haired. 'Speaking of Sakura, it was about time Naruto stopped being obsessed with her.' He thought.
However everyone's thoughts were interrupted by a dragging sound and the sight of Naruto standing on a chair placing a chalk eraser up against the wedge of the door frame.
"Naruto, what are you doing?" Hinata asked, her pale eyes confused as she watched the hyperactive ninja.
"After falling for this he won't be late again."
"Naruto, I'm definitely sure that is not an appealing way to welcome our Sensei." Atsushi remarked.
"Moron, our sensei is a Jonin, there is no way someone of such a high standard will fall for it."
"Oh just you watch Teme, just you watch."
Sasuke sighed "Idiot..."
Footsteps suddenly reverberated through the halls, alerting all four of the squad members to their teacher's presence. Naruto hushed everyone and took a sit.
The door opened and a silver haired man walked in.
Fwoosh!
Only to be covered in chalk powder.
"Ha! You fell for it!" laughed Naruto while the rest were shocked.
'So this is one of Naruto pranks in action, funny though.' Hinata thought, trying to suppress a giggle.
Atsushi gaped, 'It actually worked?'
Sasuke frowned at man saying nothing but on the inside. 'He fell for that stupid trick? Is he really a Jonin?'
Kakashi stared at the members of his team before speaking up, "First time I'm meeting you guys and I hate you all." The blond's laughter died down as everyone sweat dropped at the statement.
"Meet me on the roof in five minutes." The silver haired said before body flickering away.
[+]
|Academy's roof top|
5 minutes later
"Okay." Kakashi began, "Why don't we introduce ourselves?"
"Why don't you go first sensei? Just to clear some things." Naruto asked not sure about the whole 'introduction' thing.
"Me? I'm Kakashi Hatake. The things I like… you aren't supposed to know that, the things I hate… don't feel like telling you. My dreams for the future ... I never really thought about it. My hobbies… I have a lot actually…"
"Is that it?" Atsushi asked noting that he only told them his name.
"Yeah"
The greenette opened his mouth to make a remark but decided against it.
"Alright, blondie you go first."
"Ok, Here I go! I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I like instant cup ramen and the ramen Iruka-sensei treats me at Ichiraku's. I really hate the three minutes I have to wait when I pour the hot water into the cup. My hobbies are collecting new types of ramen and comparing them… gardening and training with my pal Sushi here." He pointed at Atsushi who glowered at the nickname. "And my dream for the future is to be the greatest Hokage! That way the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like somebody important, believe it!"
Atsushi smiled at Naruto's speech, Hinata took notes while blushing and Sasuke just snorted.
'Hmm... The nine tails container this should be interesting.' Kakashi thought. 'Now it's the young lady's turn."
With an 'Eeep' Hinata hid the notes behind her back and began, "Oh! Well I am Hinata Hyuga, I like cinnamon buns, Zenzai, gardening and … (Hinata stared at Naruto for a few seconds which was noticed by everyone except for the latter) I dislike shrimps, crab and the caged bird seal. My dream is to m-make my father proud of me."
'So she likes Naruto ... I can help her with that.' Atsushi thought with a grin.
'How can the dobe be so oblivious?' Sasuke thought.
'Ah, the Hyuga heiress but she does have a thing for the blond. Oh well at least I didn't get a fan girl.' The Jonin said to himself
Elsewhere a pink haired sneezed.
"Very well, your turn darkie." Kakashi said looking at the last Uchiha.
Sasuke glared at the Jonin but went on. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I don't like anything and I hate almost everything. My dream... No my ambition is to get stronger, rebuild my clan and kill a certain someone." Lightning flashed behind him once he was finished. Everyone took a step backwards in fear.
'I hope he isn't talking about me.' Naruto thought taking two more steps backwards just to be safe.
'Just like I thought, he's an avenger.' Kakashi almost said but stopped himself, "And finally, greenie."
The mentioned right eye twitched at the nickname but soon calmed down.
"I am Atsushi Kishida, I like ramen but not as much as Naruto, training with Naruto and my Oji-san…. going through scrolls and creating Jutsu. I dislike messy environments… (Shots Naruto a glare) Annoying and screaming fan girls (shots another in Sasuke's direction) and my dream is to become an amazing ninja." he rounded up.
'With determination, he may actually achieve that dream.' Kakashi said to himself. "Now that introductions are out of the way, meet me tomorrow at training ground 7 for your test." He informed.
"But didn't we already pass the test?" Hinata asked.
"That was the test to see if you guys are ready to be Genin which all of you passed."
"So we are going to take another test?" Naruto asked this time.
"Yes."
"Great, just great."
"He doesn't like tests so much." Atsushi whispered to both Hinata and Kakashi who nodded.
"Well, my test is tomorrow so be there by 6 AM prompt and before I forget don't eat breakfast unless you want to puke." And with that said their sensei was gone in a swirl of leaves.
"I am out." Sasuke informed before darting away.
"I wonder which kind of training we will have that we will puke if we ate breakfast." Atsushi wondered.
"Then that means I have to eat as much ramen as I can today." Naruto declared.
"Didn't you just have some like… three hours ago?" Atsushi asked.
"Yeah, so Hinata are you joining me?" Naruto asked, receiving a blush and nod from the Hyuga heiress.
"Atsushi?"
"Nah you two go have some fun, I got some research to do."
"Ok, come on Hinata." He grabbed her hand, "The delicious ramen awaits us." Naruto raced off dragging his female teammate whose face was becoming more tomato-like by the second.
Atsushi smiled as they left, "She is so different from Sakura, I hope Naruto soon forgets about that pink haired. Now where was I ... Ah researching." He turned and roof jumped away.

ABS EXTRA
|Leaf village's gates|
14 years ago
"Ah finally we have arrived." A young male announced as he gazed upon the Leaf village. The male stood at 6'3ft, green spiky hair and eyes, dressed in a dark green top with black pants. His forehead protector bore his village's symbol which is a uniquely shaped Triangle with its vertex pointing downwards.
"Konohagakure sure is different from Arashigakure." A female said as she walked up beside him, she stood at 5'9ft with Brown hair and eyes, wore a blue kimono with yellow swirls design.
"Are you sure it was a good idea to become ambassadors to the leaf village?" She asked, facing her husband.
"Of course and it isn't forever at least a maximum of 6 years so stop worrying and give me a kiss." He answered, grabbing her waist and pulling her close.
Poof!
The young lady disappeared in a puff of smoke revealing a 12 year old boy in his arms.
"What the hell? Little bro? Why did you do that?" The young man cried out in shock.
"Haha you totally fell for it." The boy laughed out.
"Fell for what?"
"Sara and I made a bet that you couldn't tell the difference between a henge of her and herself and this just confirmed that I'm right." The boy grinned.
"DAIKI!" A female yelled walking towards the two brothers.
"Sara-chan I can-
"Save it, you are sleeping on the couch for the rest of the month!"
Daiki felt his world shatter into a million pieces and Areku (the boy and younger brother to Daiki) couldn't help but laugh at the look on his elder brother's face, it was priceless.
"Why you little- Hey! Get back here, I haven't even begun to deal with you." Daiki pursued his younger brother who ran into the village still laughing his guts out.
While they were gone Sara calmed down a bit and approached the village gate where she met Izumo and Koketsu the two new appointed chunin of the village. She was in the process of identifying herself when
BOOM!
"MY CABBAGES! This place is worse than Arashi!"
On hearing that Sara sweat dropped, looks like the cabbage merchant had left their village after the two Kishida brothers had destroyed his produce numerous times in their pursue and had opted to settle in Konoha only for the two to arrive at his safe haven.
"I should go and control those two before they cause any more har-
BOOM!
"MY TOMATOES! This place is worse than Kumo!"
Sara immediately took off ignoring the two eternal chunin, she had to prevent her husband and brother-in-law from destroying all of the Leaf's village vegetables.
