"Hey everyone."

Everyone in the room immediately fell silent. Everyone could not believe that the person in the room was actually Naruto Uzumaki. Literally every single girl in the room, including Sasuke were blushing. Naruto actually looked kind of hot and badass. Naruto walked and saw that the only seat left to sit in was next to Sasuke. So he made his way there. Sasuke saw this and the blush deepened. In reality, she actually liked the blonde. He was the only fanboy she didn't have, the pranks were funny in her opinion, and despite his failing grades, he never gave up. But her undying revenge for Itachi made her put up a facade and also made her seem like she hated Naruto, always calling him a loser. Sasuke was about to respond to Naruto, but before she got the chance, Kiba spoke up first.

"Hey dead last! Why are you going to sit next to Sasuke?! She is mine!" Kiba shouted.

"Shut the hell up Kiba. Sasuke is not your property and I don't have any interest in her like that." Naruto was kind of lying. He kind of had an affection towards her. When he thought about what he thought to himself regarding Sasuke, he tried really hard not to blush when he looked at her.

"Grrrrr! What the hell did you say you dead last!" Kiba shouted as he tried to punch Naruto. Emphasis on TRIED.

Naruto simply shifted his head to the side and punched Kiba on the gut so hard that he coughed out blood. Then Naruto kicked him in the face giving him a bloody nose.

"Maybe you learned a lesson. Good doggy" Naruto mocked Kiba. Kiba was fuming at this point, but decided not to say anything back.

Naruto took his seat next to Sasuke with everyone looking in shock at Naruto. Just as Naruto took his seat, Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka, the two most devoted fan girls to Sasuke appeared at the door.

"Ha! I win Ino pig!" Shouted Sakura with everyone holding their ears and wincing.

"In your dreams forehead! Clearly I won!" Replied Ino

As both of them looked around to find their precious Sasuke-chan, their eyes immediately landed on Naruto. They couldn't believe Naruto could be that hot! But they quickly dismissed that idea as soon as they saw him sitting next to Sasuke, and then both of them thought that he was doing this just to impress Sakura. Sakura marched her way towards Naruto.

"Naruto-Baka! You're just wearing those clothes to impress me, aren't you! Well whatever, move your lame ass! I want to sit next to my precious Sasuke-chan!" Sakura shouted this as she tried to hit Naruto. But he simply caught her fist much to her shock.

"Hey Sakura, shut the hell up." Naruto replied in a calm but bone piercing voice.

"I have had it with your bullshit. I will not stand for this anymore. You will not be taking my seat."

Sakura was incredibly shocked as well as everyone. Naruto, the one who had the biggest crush on Sakura Haruno ever since the beginning of the academy, just told her to shut up. He even caught her FIST. Ino knew better than to provoke him so she went to sit somewhere else. Then Sakura reluctantly sat down next to Naruto.

A few minutes later, the teacher came into the room surprised to see the "demon brat" passed. Naruto ignored the team names until he was called.

"Team 7, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha. Your sensei will be Kakashi Hatake."

Naruto literally banged his head through the table at the mention of Sakura. But his face brightened up a little at the mention of Sasuke. Even though he hated her, the hate is diminishing after he understood why she is what she is. You can't really blame her since her whole clan was killed. By her own brother no less. Sasuke was having similar thoughts as well. Both of them were the same. They were alone.

"Alright, now all of you have graduated and become shinobi. I wish you all good luck 'exept for you demon brat'" the teacher said and thought. Naruto noticed this but decided to ignore this since he was used to this."

'Hey Naruto' the sage said.

'Yeah super gramps sage?' Naruto replied.

'I am proud of you. You have made a lot of progress physically as well as mentally.'

'Thank you gramps. That means a lot to me.' Naruto replied.

So, everyone left to meet their new sensei. Only team 7 was left since they were waiting for their sensei for the past three hours.

"Ahhhhh! Where the hell is our sensei!! How dare he make Sasuke-Chan wait!!" Sakura shouted much to the displeasure of Naruto and Sasuke. Speaking of Naruto and Sasuke, Naruto was eyeing Sasuke. Her curves that are emphasized with the tank top and shorts, porcelain skin, silky brunette hair that reaches just on the top of her spine, C cup breasts, baby smooth legs, and a nice ass. When he stopped hating her, now he understood why she had fanboys and even fangirls. But, Naruto knew she was more than that. He had to admit that he likes her now, but he kept wondering why he kept constantly describing Sasuke like that. It was weird even in his own opinion. Sasuke noticed this and was silently cheering that Naruto was eyeing her, but she decided to turn to look at him. She didn't want any bonds. Revenge is all that matters. Isn't it?

"What are you looking at dobe?" Sasuke asked.

"N-nothing Sasuke!" Naruto replied with a slight blush.

Sasuke and Sakura were surprised when he didn't call Sasuke teme. Did he finally stop hating her?

'Naruto, are you interested in her?' The sage said teasing Naruto.

'W-what! J-just shut it you o-old sa-sage!" Naruto replies.

'Ha, that is what Asura always did when he liked someone and got flustered. Hehe.' The sage thought to himself

Sasuke was eyeing Naruto as well. She liked him, but his current look was definitely better than that hideous orange jumpsuit he wore. He actually was slightly taller than her now! He had those cute whisker marks, and that spiky, soft and vibrant blonde hair, the shape of his upper body was showing, that tanned skin, and combined with his badass look, Sasuke definitely thought Naruto was hotter than before. Naruto noticed this and decided to repeat the cycle with a mental smirk.

"What are you looking at Sasuke?" Naruto asked.

"W-w-what! N-Nothing Naru- I mean dobe!" Sasuke replies with embarrassment.

Sakura was noticing this interaction and was mentally slapping herself in the head. Those two might actually be interested in each other!

"SHANAROOOOO! HOW DARE NARUTO TRY TO STEAL OUR SASUKE-CHAN!!!" Sakura's inner self shouted. Sakura went to go punch Naruto, but at that

moment, Kakashi Hatake showed up at the door. Much to the shock and relief of team 7.

"My first impression of you is that, you're all boring. Meet me on the roof." Kakashi said before he disappeared.

"All right guys let-" Sakura said before she and Sasuke saw Naruto disappeared in a shushin.

Both of them had one thought. 'What the hell?!'

They made their way up to the roof to see Kakashi and Naruto already there.

"Ok, now since you're all here, let's start with introductions." Kakashi said.

"What do you mean sensei?" Sakura asked.

'Seriously, how and why did I even like her?' Naruto thought to himself.

"What I mean Sakura, is that we say things about ourselves such as our names, likes, dislikes, dreams and goals and stuff." Kakashi explained.

"Can you give us an example sensei?" Sakura asked.

"Sure, why not. My name is Kakashi Hatake, my likes are private, my dislikes I don't feel like telling you, I don't really have any goals and dreams are private.

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura all had sweat drops. 'All we learned was his name.'

"Alright, let's start with you pinkie." Kakashi said.

"Ok. My name is Sakura Haruno. My likes are, (giggling as she looks as Sasuke), my goal is, (more giggling as she looks at Sasuke), and my dream is, (squealing as she looks at Sasuke). My dislikes are Naruto-baka and Ino-pig!"

'Don't tell me she wants to have sexual interaction with me?! Does she?!' Sasuke thought fearfully to herself.

'Sakura likes girl to girl?' Kakashi thought nervously. "Ok, next is broody."

"Ok, my name is Sasuke Uchiha. I have many dislikes and not many likes, except for Naruto," Sasuke whispered the last part to herself. No one else heard but Kakashi heard.

"My dream/goal or no, an ambition, is to kill a certain man and bring justice to him."

'So coooool!!' Sakura thought to herself.

'I hope she doesn't want to kill me!!' Naruto thought to himself.

'Interesting, apparently she really likes Naruto from what I saw in the academy and what she said here. But she also wants revenge due to Itachi killing her clan.' Kakashi thought to himself.

"Ok, next is Naruto." Kakashi said with everyone thinking why only he called Naruto by his actual name.

"Alright. My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like ramen and training, and Sasuke" Naruto whispered the last part. Only Kakashi heard. 'Interesting. He likes her. I thought they hated each other, but maybe he can help with Sasuke's situation.

"I hate the three minutes it takes to eat ramen and when people judge others for something they're not." Naruto said as he touched his stomach. Much to everyone's confusion exept for Kakashi.

'Impossible, does he already know about the kyuubi?!' Kakashi thought to himself with much shock.

"My goal is to surpass a certain someone. And my dream is to become the strongest Hokage anyone has ever seen." Naruto said with determination.

'Interesting, I wonder who is that certain someone.' Kakashi thought to himself.

'Ha, you think you can surpass me?' The sage said although he knew that Naruto would.

'Yeah, it's like you said, You are me.' Naruto replied to the sage.

"Okay, let's just cut to the chase. You're not genin yet."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!" Sakura shouted. Practically all of Konoha were clutching their ears.

"What I mean is that the academy was supposed to root out the ones with the potential to become genin. The ones that graduated the academy will have to take another test in order to become genin. This test has a 66% fail rate which means that only nine of you will pass. Another thing, I have never passed any team up to this date." Kakashi explained.

All three of them immediately gulped at the last part Kakashi said.

"Anyways, we will be taking the test tomorrow. Meet me at the bridge, and I suggest you don't eat, or else you'll throw up." With that, Kakashi left.

"Hey Sasuke-chan, do you want to-" before Sakura could finish her sentence,

"No sakura! For the last time, I am not lesbian!" Sakura was looking down, while Naruto was relived.

Once again, Naruto left in a shushin, much to the confusion of Sakura and Sasuke. Both of them thought one thing.

'I am still wondering how the hell he did that.'

As Naruto was in in house eating his cup of ramen, the sage decided to tease Naruto about Sasuke.

'So, Naruto. How many children do you plan on having with Sasuke?'

Naruto immediately choked on his ramen and started to cough it out.

'What the hell are you talking about!' Naruto replied blushing.

'Hehe. Surely you're planning on having children right? Due to the interest you have in her? It looks like she has an interest in you as well.'

'What?! Shut up you old man! After all, she has no interest in me!' Naruto replied.

'Ah, just like Asura. You are so dense.' The sage thought to himself.

'What was that?' Naruto asked the sage.

'Nothing.' Naruto went to sleep with an agitated face.

The next day, Naruto woke up to eat a cup of ramen until he remembered Kakashi's words about not to eat.

'Wait, he SUGGESTED not to eat. He didn't order us. So that means I'm free to eat.' Naruto thought to himself.

'Sharp mind Naruto, besides, the human body cannot function properly without food' complimented the sage.

After Naruto ate his food, he made his way to the bridge where team 7 would meet. He saw that Sasuke and Sakura were already there. Sakura fawning over Sasuke as usual, and Sasuke ignoring Sakura. Naruto's heart skipped a beat when he saw Sasuke's figure. She was leaning backwards with her back on the railing of the bridge, with her belly partly showing.

'Oh how I would love to hold that body and press it up against my own while kissin-OH MY GOD WHAT IS WITH ME LATELY!!' Naruto thought in his head. Sasuke was having similar thoughts as well.

"Naruto-baka! You are late!" Sakura shouted.

"Hey Sakura, is Kakashi here yet?" Naruto asked.

"No!" Sakura yelled. "Then I'm not late" Naruto replied. Sakura was fuming on the inside while Sasuke giggled on the inside. After all, she still had her tough attitude to put on.

Naruto was reading a sealing book level 5 as recommended by the sage.

One hour later, Kakashi appeared to the yelling of Sakura.

"YOU'RE LATE!!! WHERE WERE YOU!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG ME AND SASUKE CHAN HAVE BEEN WAITING?!!" Sakura. Practically everyone's eardrums are broken.

"Well you see, I was walking towards here but a black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long way." Kakashi replied. But he actually visited the graves of Obito and Rin.

"LIAR!!" Sakura yelled again.

'I swear, I am this close to putting a seal on her throat! Naruto thought in his head.

'I can't believe I'm saying this since I'm the sage of six paths, but if I could get out of here, I would kill her in an instant. She's more of a danger than Kaguya with her yelling alone' the sage thought the last part to himself.

'Maybe I can! Maybe once I become proficient at sealing, then I can get you out!' Naruto said to the sage with joy in his voice.

'Heh, maybe you can. And you do know you have to talk to Kurama eventually, right?'

'Yeah, I know. I hope he can accept me. He may have killed my parents, but he deserves a second chance.' Naruto replied to the sage.

'Don't worry Naruto, he will. I am here after all.' The sage said.

Naruto had to drop out of the conversation when he saw Kakashi pull out two bells.

"So, for the test, you have to get these two bells by noon, or you fail." Kakashi explained.

"But sensei, there are two bells, aren't there?" Sakura asked.

"Yes Sakura there are. The one who does not get a bell will fail and be tied to one of the stumps, while they watch their teammates eat."

At that moment, Sasuke's and Sakura's stomachs grumbled, while Naruto's didn't.

"Hmmmm, care to tell why someone didn't eat Naruto?" Kakashi asked.

"Yeah Naruto baka! He told us not to eat! Who told you that you have special privelages!!" Sakura yelled.

"Wow Sakura, and I thought you were the smart one." Naruto said.

"What did you say!" Sakura tried to hit Naruto, but he caught her fist. AGAIN. To her shock.

"Stop. Trying. To. Hit. Me" Naruto said in a bone chilling voice to Sakura. She was in complete fear now.

Sasuke thought that Sakura should experience that fear. What did Naruto even do? He just states facts.

"The reason I ate was because you didn't order us to eat. You SUGGESTED us to eat. Since it wasn't an actual order, I was free to eat. Isn't that right Kakashi?"

"Ha, that is absolutely correct Naruto. I was waiting for someone to notice that." Kakashi complimented Naruto.

Sakura was scowling, while Sasuke was wondering how he got smarter in just two weeks. Anyway, they made there way to training ground 7.

"Alright. When I say start, that is when the test will begin." Kakashi said

"Yeah no shit" Sasuke and Naruto said at the same time

"Stop that!" They both said at the same time again

"STOP IT" they both said again with their foreheads pressed against each other. They liked each other, but it can be annoying at times. Both of them realized how close their faces were and immediately pulled away from each other with a blush forming on their faces.

'You know, they act like a married couple.' Kakashi thought to himself.

Sakura was fuming. Naruto was able to make Sasuke blush. It should have been her!

"Okay, ready start." As soon as Kakashi said that, Sasuke and Sakura disappeared, but Naruto stayed at his spot.

"You know, hiding would really be the best option for you." Kakashi said to Naruto.

"The test is about teamwork, isn't it." Naruto said much to the shock of Kakashi.

"How did you figure that out?" Kakashi asked.

"Well, when you shows the two bells instead of three, I had to admit I was confused since a genin team consists of a four man cell with a Jonin and three genins.. But then I thought what if you were trying to put ourselves against each other? A genin team wouldn't function that way, so the only possible explanation is teamwork."

"Aw man, now everyone knows. That takes out the fun. Kakashi complained.

"Oh don't worry, I put a silencing barrier around us after Sasuke and Sakura went to go hide." Naruto said.

What, since when did he do that? Want he the dead last at the academy? Well maybe he is a late bloomer. After all, he is the son of his sensei the yondaime and Kushina Uzumaki Kakashi thought in his head.

"So since it's about teamwork, how about I fight you and show my skills, and when the others see you unscathed, they may try to work with me. I am going to go all out. After all, I am confident that I couldn't match up to you at all, even if you weren't trying." With that, Naruto deactivated the seal.

"Right you are Naruto, right you are." Kakashi replied.

"And also, tie me to the stump. I want to see how they treat me." Naruto said loud enough only for him and Kakashi to hear.

Naruto then got into the striking hawk stance much to the surprise of Kakashi.

'Since when did he learn sensei's taijutsu style?'

Naruto charged at mid genin speed. He tried to land a strike at Kakashi's face but pushed the fist to the side and aimed for Naruto's solar plexus. Naruto then made a shadow clone with no hand signs, and he blocked the attack. Kakashi then tried to get a kick to the clone's face, but then the clone dodged and the original took out a kunai and tried to slash at Kakashi but he quickly pushed them out of the way. And then, a clone with a rasengan came up from behind Kakashi and tried to hit him. Kakashi had no time to dodge so he used earth release: drilling horn to escape and make some distance from Naruto.

'Damn, Naruto is certainly not the dead last. His planning individually is impressive for a genin. It also seems like he did a refined version of sensei's taijutsu including shadow clones. And speaking of that, his timing and chakra control with the shadow clones is amazing he. Made one with no hand signs, and there was one I didn't even notice. And the rasengan! How did he even learn that?!. I will ask the sandaime about this.' Kakashi thought to himself.

"Water release: water vortex jutsu!" Naruto shouted. He shot a big vortex of water from his palm.

'Interesting, he shouldn't know elemental jutsu yet. But he did learn the rasengan so it isn't surprising.'

"Earth release: earth wall jutsu!" Kakashi yelled. He formed a wall of earth in front of him, blocking the water from hitting him. But, to his surprise...

"Fire style: grand fireball jutsu!" Naruto yelled, exhaling a gigantic fireball.

'Two affinities?! That's a shocker. Even for a genin' Kakashi thought to himself

"Water release: water dome jutsu!" Kakashi created a water dome around himself blocking the fire and creating a lot of steam."

'I am trying my hardest physically. I am wearing the gravity seals though. I can only take them of with super gramps sage's permission. I have 160 pounds on at least, and in terms of ninjutsu and genjustu, combined with kenjutsu, I have a lot more to show. I could also show my Sharingan, Mangekyō Sharingan, and my rinnegan. But, not too many secrets at a time. I will only show them if I really need it I think I am done here, now time to find the others.'

Naruto thought to himself.

Sasuke's and Sakura's jaws were hitting the ground. The dead last could do so well against a jonin! Sakura was thinking that Naruto was trying to show Sasuke up. On one hand, Sasuke was thinking about the gap between her and Itachi. Naruto may be better than her. But on the other hand, he just got so much cooler than before! He looked so badass!

Sakura was the first person that Naruto found.

"Hey Saku-" before Naruto could finish, Sakura shouted

"No I will not go on a date with you Naruto! I knew that treatment to me was only temporary. So NO I will not go on a date with you!"

"Why the fuck would you still think I would want to go on a date with you?! I was just going to ask you to team up!"

Naruto shouted.

"No way! The only person I would team up with is Sasuke-chan!" Sakura shouted.

"Don't be so stubborn Sakura! All of us need to work together!" Naruto tried to reason with Sakura.

"No! All this team needs is me and Sasuke-chan! We will pass and you will fail!" With that, Sakura took off to look for Sasuke.

"Oh my fucking god! What the hell did I even see in her! I must have been high on something." Naruto said.

With getting Sakura to work with him failing, his only option was to get to Sasuke. He searched for a few minutes only to see her head poking out of the ground.

Sasuke saw Naruto walk up to her. She was afraid that he would start mocking her to her secret sadness. But to her surprise and joy...

"Oh my, what the hell happened? Are you okay?" Naruto asked Sasuke.

"Y-yeah I'm fine Naruto. Now can you help me get out of here?" Sasuke asked with embarrassment.

"No need to be embarrassed. It can happen to anyone." Naruto said to Sasuke.

Sasuke felt her heart fluttering. The one she always liked, wasn't mocking her even though she kept mocking him.

Sakura saw Sasuke with Naruto trying to get her out of the ground.

"Oh no! My Sasuke-chan got decapitated by Naruto!" Sakura yelled this as she fainted.

"Ummmmm okay then. Definitely not the brightest." Naruto said.

Sasuke let out a cute giggle to Naruto's surprise.

'Kami, how can anyone be that cute.' Naruto thought in his mind.

Somewhere in his mind, someone was saying 'how many children?'

Naruto got Sasuke out of the ground.

"Look, I think we should team up. And with Sakura as well. It is obvious we cannot take down a jonin yet. I know we hated each other, but can we put that all behind us? I know you want revenge on Itachi, but maybe you can get power through friendships, not being isolated" Naruto said with his hand outstretched towards Sasuke. Sasuke was thinking, maybe Naruto was right. Maybe she needed a new perspective on how to defeat Itachi. Maybe bonds could help. Of course she would have liked something more than friendship with Naruto, but this was a good start. Naruto was having the same thoughts as well. Sasuke gladly accepted the hand.

"Sounds good, Naruto." Sasuke replied.

Sakura woke up to see them both shaking hands much to her unsurpassed surprise. Sakura thought...

'Maybe I shouldn't treat Naruto so bad.'

"Hey Naruto, I'm sorry for treating you bad. Maybe we could have a fresh start." Sakura said to Naruto.

Naruto was thinking that she was only doing this since Sasuke accepted his friendship. But, it was a start.

"Sure Sakura, why not." Naruto replied.

At that moment, the timer ringed and then Kakashi appeared.

"Well, you didn't get the bells in time which means that you failed, and Naruto will be tied to the stump, since he didn't even bother to hide, and tried to foolishly attack me without formulating a plan." Kakashi said.

"In that case, none of you will go to the academy." The three of them looked very happy.

"In fact, all of you should just quit being ninja" Kakashi said.

"What! Why sensei?!" Sakura yelled.

"Because you didn't realize the point of the test! 'Exept for Naruto.' The whole point of this test was teamwork!"

Kakashi said shocking Sasuke and Sakura. Naruto was fake shocked.

"You were supposed to work together! You should have known that a team could not function without teamwork. Have you ever heard of a genin team that only consists of three total people?"

Sasuke and Sakura looked down. They should have known that. How could they be so stupid!

"And there's more. Naruto, like I said before, you didn't even bother to hide and you just charged at me foolishly.

You Sakura, I saw what happened between you and Naruto. You were too obsessed with Sasuke while Naruto was right in front of you the whole time. And Sasuke, you didn't even bother to try to find your teammates. Your arrogance led you to believe that you could take me all on your own." Kakashi explained. Then Kakashi took out a kunai and pinned Sasuke to the ground.

"Sakura, kill Naruto or Sasuke dies!" Kakashi said.

"W-what! Why sensei?! Sakura asked.

'Holy hell! Knowing her she might actually kill me!' Naruto thought fearfully

'She better not kill him or this will be her last day on Earth!' Sasuke thought

"This is what would happen. Due to your lack of teamwork, you would be dead already or you would be in this situation. But, maybe I can have you retake it since you all came together in the end."

Sasuke's and Sakura's faces immediately brightened up at the last part.

"Alright. I have to go somewhere right now, so you can eat your lunches. But don't give any food to Naruto or you automatically fail." With that, Kakashi went to go hide.

Sasuke's and Sakura were thinking about giving food. He brought them together.

"Don't worry guys! I'll be fine, I don't need any food." Naruto said. That was a lie. You ever wonder why he eats so much ramen? Well one, it's delicious to him and second, due to Kurama inside him, he burns calories a lot faster. So he basically needs a lot of food in order to function.

As soon as Naruto said that, his stomach growled. Sasuke's and Sakura's guilt immediately deepened.

"Uh, that was a reflex action, hehe." Naruto laughed sheepishly.

"Hey, Sakura, you think Kakashi's gone?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure Sasuke" Sakura replied.

Sasuke held out her food to Naruto as well as Sakura.

"What? You shouldn't do that. You'll fail then." Naruto was glad on the inside. His teammates were treating him well just like he hoped.

"It doesn't matter. You brought us together. If anyone deserves food it's you." Sasuke replied.

"She's right Naruto." Sakura said.

"Ok, I would eat myself, but you do realize I'm tied to the stump right?" Naruto replied with a blush.

'W-what?! I actually get to feed Naruto!' Sasuke thought in her mind.

Sakura has a face that said oh my fucking god.

Sasuke got up from the ground and motioned Naruto to open his mouth. Both of them were blushing hard. Just as Sasuke was about to put the bento into Naruto's mouth...

"WHAT DID I SAY!! YOU ARE FEEDING NARUTO?!!" Kakashi yelled while being in a thunderstorm background.

All three of them were in fear chattering their teeth.

"WELL, FOR THAT YOU... pass!" Kakashi said to Sasuke's and Sakura's shock.

"Wait, whaaaaaaaa?" Sakura said.

"You pass. Remember what I said about teamwork? You disobeyed orders and helped your friend. Remember this, those who abandon the mission are scum. But those who abandon their friends, are worse than scum."

All three of them looked at Kakashi in shock. He never knew that he could be that wise!

"Oh and one other thing. Naruto already figured out the point of this test in the beginnning, and he asked me to tie him to the stump if you failed." Kakashi said as he cut off the ropes from Naruto.

"WHAT?!! WHY DID HE DO THAT???!!" Sakura yelled.

"Well, I already knew the reason in the way that Kakashi explained, and I had him tie me to the stump to see how you two would treat me. After all, I was the bane of hate in the group. And you two were so thoughtful!" Naruto said as he wrapped his arms around the girls necks and pulled them in to his chest."

"N-n-Naruto what are you doing?!" Sasuke said blushing redder than a tomato.

"Yeah, what was that for?!" Sakura yelled.

"Well, this is my way of showing my gratitude! So let's go somewhere to celebrate the inauguration of team 7! Let's go to Ichiraku ramen Kakashi sensei!" Naruto said not releasing his grip on the two girls.

'This team is going to go far. Naruto already got rid of Sasuke's broody behavior, and got Sakura to be a little more mature. He is the glue that holds this team together.' Kakashi thought as he followed The team.

5/2/2020: I will continue to write stories on fanfiction but for some reason I lost interest in writing this particular story. Sorry about this, but if anyone wants they can adopt or rewrite this. Thank you.
