Neo Team 7

Before we get started in this Naruto story, I am going to say that there will be some similarities between this story and Canon but there will also be differences as well. The first difference is that Team 7 in this story will consist of Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata because I have always been interested in a team of those three.

I will point this out right away that this story will be NaruHina as the main pairing because that is my favorite pairing. There will be other pairings as well that come up in this story.

Naruto will actually want to make a plan with Sasuke and Hinata for the bell test so that will be the first difference. He will still be his hyperactive knuckleheaded self but he will also act smarter as well. The thinking that I had for this idea is that Naruto and Sasuke will help Hinata be more confident as well. Hinata will also help Naruto and Sasuke be more like a team in canon. I will note the differences when they come up in this story. I will see you at the end of the story for the author notes.

Ch. 1 Team Formation

It is the day after the graduation exam at the academy and most of the genin are sitting in their seats waiting to find out what teams they will be on. A few people had not shown up yet and one of those genin was Hinata Hyuga who was walking to the academy. She was happy but sad at the same time. The reason she was happy was that she will become a genin, become a great ninja, and hope to change the way of her clan.

She was sad because she would not be able to see the person that she cares the most about and that person is Naruto Uzumaki. She has had feelings for him ever since she was a little kid and she was hoping to be a genin with him and maybe be on the same team as him. She walked into the academy and lit up with joy when she saw Naruto sitting there laying his head down. Shikamaru asked him what he was doing here and Naruto said that he was a genin and showed him his headband. The students were waiting to find out what teams they would be on and everything was quiet until two girls walked, one with pink hair, and the other with blond hair. The one with pink hair was named Sakura and the one with blond hair was named Ino. They saw the person they both crushed on and went towards him, and pushed another student out of the seat so they could sit next to him, and that student happened to be Naruto. Naruto just grumbled about how Sasuke was a lucky bastard and went to sit at another seat and the seat happened to be next to Hinata.

Hinata was excited about Naruto sitting next to her and she said hello to him. H-Hello N-Naruto-kun said Hinata. Naruto turned to her and said hi, hey Hinata. They both just talked about being Genin and about what teams they would be on. Naruto said he did not want to be on a team with Sakura or Sasuke. The kids stopped talking when Iruka sensei walked in. He said congratulations to all of you for graduating and becoming Genin. He started to announce the teams. Team 10 will be Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji. Team 8 will be Kiba, Shino, and Sakura. Team 7 will be Sasuke, Naruto, and Hinata. Hinata was happy, Sasuke you really could not tell, and Naruto was happy not happy about being with Sasuke. Iruka said it was done to pair the best student with the worst student, in which all the kids laughed at him except for a few kids. Iruka told the kids their Jonin senseis would be in after lunch. As the kids were leaving, a few of the girls made glares at Naruto and Hinata but they ignored them. Naruto told Sasuke that he will be the best and Sasuke just said not to get in his way.

The kids went to lunch in which Sasuke ate by himself and Naruto was sitting by himself but HInata asked if she could sit with him and he said sure. Hinata asked Naruto who he thought their sensei would be and Naruto wanted somebody strong to teach them. Hinata said that she wanted somebody strong and kind as well. They talked about a few more things and before they knew it, lunch came to an end, and all the kids returned to the classroom where they sat in their teams, and waited for their sensei instructors.

The Jonin instructor for team 8 came by who was a woman name Kurenai Yuhi and she called for Kiba, Shino, and Sakura. Team 10's instructor came by who was a man named Asuma Sarutobi and he called for Shikamaru, Chouji, and Ino. The only team left was team 7. Naruto was glaring at Sasuke and Sasuke was glaring back at Naruto in which caused lightning to appear between them, and Hinata was staring nervously at them. Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata waited for an hour before their sensei arrived through the door. The person was a tall man, with a dark green vest, dark pants, he wore the leaf headband, and had a mask covering part of his face.

Hinata was thinking that it was strange for a jonin instructor to be late but he must be strong to be both a jonin and a sensei as well. Sasuke was thinking that he must not be much if he had the nerve to show up late. Naruto was frustrated that he showed up late on their first day as a team. Kakashi apologized for being late and saying that a black cat walked in front of him and he had to double back, and all three members sweat dropped at that. He told them to meet up on the rooftop and Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata headed up to the rooftop.

Team 7 headed up to the rooftop to meet with Kakashi sensei. Kakashi asked them to introduce themselves by saying their hobbies, likes, dislikes, and goals for the future. Naruto told Kakashi to introduce himself first. He said his name was Kakashi Hatake, he did not feel like telling them his likes or dislikes, he said he has quite a bit of hobbies, and did not feel like telling them his dreams for the future. All three sweatdropped, because all they learned about him was his name. Kakashi then told Naruto to introduce himself.

Naruto introduced himself as Naruto Uzumaki. He likes ramen and training. He dislikes the three minutes it takes to make ramen. He says he wants to become the greatest Hokage ever so that way the people of the village will stop looking down on him and starting treating him as somebody.

Hinata introduces her as Hinata Hyuga. She likes pressing flowers, and gardening. She dislikes people who put others down for no reason. She wants to change the way of her clan and someday become a wife and mother, she happened to look at Naruto and blush. He did not notice but the other two did.

Sasuke introduces him as Sasuke Uchia. He doesn't like anything. He dislikes just about everthing. He wants to revive his clan someday. He says he has an ambition to kill a certain person someday. Naruto and Hinata shivered at that statement and Kakashi sat there in thought.

Kakashi says that they are not true genin yet and all three are shocked. He says he will test them tomorrow and if they pass they become genin but if they fail, they go back to the academy. All three are determine not to fail because of their goals. He tells them to be at training ground three at eight tomorrow morning and not to eat breakfast or they will puke.

Naruto says to Sasuke and Hinata that they should come up with a plan for the test tomorrow and they are both shocked at the statement but agree. They sit on the rooftop discussing their plan for tomorrow for several hours. The sun is starting to get lower in the sky and they agree to head home and meet an hour early tomorrow to review their plan. All three head off to their homes to rest and prepare for the test tomorrow.

Hinata arrived home and went to see her father in his study. She knocked on the door and he said enter in a cold tone. The man was named Hiashi Hyuga and he was part of the main branch of the family. He asked her who her sensei was, and who her teammates are. She s-said her sensei is Katashi Hatake. She s-s-said her teammates are Sasuke Uchia and Naruto Uzumaki. He did not make any statements and just looked at her. She s-said she has to take a test tomorrow and she is not supposed to eat breakfast. He just dismissed her and she went to eat dinner and then went to her room.

She cried because of how cold her father was to her and she misses her mother deeply and wishes she was still here with her. She set the alarm and fell asleep to prepare for the test tomorrow.

We have reached the end of chapter one of this story. You could spot some of the differences and there will be more differences. You will see the bell test in the next chapter and there will be differences as well. Review my story and tell me how much you enjoy it and see what changes need to be made.
