Spreading Darkness
By: Veldra
(Chapter Two: Not Always Easy)
Unfortunately for Uzumaki Naruto, the day was once again bright and sunny. Fortunately it was the day they were going to announce who goes in what team. He was hoping that he could be with at least with Shikamaru but with his luck he would end up with an annoying fan girl type.
Sitting next to Shikamaru who was once again sleeping he watched as the girls fought over who was going to sit next to Uchiha Sasuke. In his opinion though the Uchiha was just another lame pretty boy that was an arrogant bastard thinking he was better than anyone.
Thankfully Iruka-Sensei finally came in and the class finally became quite and started announcing the teams everyone was in.
"…team seven Haruno Sakura.. Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke" 'Damn, why did I have to be stuck with fan girl and pretty boy. I should of known today wasn't going to be a good day' Naruto thought as Sakura cheered for having Sasuke on the same team.
"What is taking the sensei so long, it's been like an hour already!" Sakura said as she leaned against the desk.
All the other students were already picked up by their new sensei and they were the only ones left, even Iruka-sensei had left. Bored of waiting Naruto got up and picked up one of the chalkboard erasers and up it on the door.
"What are you doing Naruto?" Sakura asked as Naruto went back to his seat and Sasuke just merely glancing at the trap Naruto set up.
"Just to see if our sensei can really avoid it, even it's better than doing nothing" Naruto said as he sat back down. 'Like a Jounin would fall for a simple trick like that' Sasuke thought as someone was opening the door and the eraser fell onto his head.
"I can't believe he fell for it" Naruto said aloud as Sasuke thought the same thing.
Taking a better look at the Jounin he wore the exact outfit that everyone wore but what was different about him was his left eye was covered by his hitai-ate, his hair was whitish-silver and had a mask covering his mouth.
"Hmm, my first impression on you guys is…I don't like you guys" their new instructor said with a thought full look on his face.
Now they were on the academy roof and the three of them were sitting while their knew instructor was leaning against the rail.
"So, lets start with introductions" Their instructor said as he faced his knew students.
"What do you want to know anyway sensei" Naruto said laying on his back staring at the clouds.
"Just things like your likes, dislikes, dreams and hobbies" he answered.
"Why don't you go first sensei show how it's done" Sakura spoke up thinking of how suspicious their knew sensei looked wearing a mask that covered half of his face.
"Well, hmm, My name is Hatake Kakashi , my likes and dislikes are non of your business, my dreams are well.. my hobbies are non of your business as well" Kakashi-sensei said.
'That was informative' Naruto thought as he kept watching the clouds.
"We only learned his name" Sakura said.
"So …you with the blond hair, why don't you tell something about yourself" Kakashi-sensei pointed at Naruto that lying on the ground and both his other team mates looked at him as well.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto.. I like eating ramen but I like it better when Iruka-sensei buy's it for me. My dislike I guess is waiting for three minuets for the ramen to be done. I don't really have a dream except to find but my hobbies are watching clouds with Shikamaru" 'I also like smoking in my spare time but they don't need to know that' Naruto thought as he conditioned to watch the clouds.
'He turned out interesting' Kakashi thought as he picked Sasuke to go next.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke , I have a lot of things I dislike, not many things I like.. I don't want to use the term dream but I have an ambition to revive my clam and also to kill a certain man" Sasuke said.
'I thought as much' Kakashi thought, "Ok, now the girl".
"I'm Haruno Sakura, I like.. (blushing), my future.. (blushing and looking at Sasuke). I hate Ino pig and my hobbies…"
Sakura said while blushing and looking over to Sasuke. 'Girls these days are more interested in guys than their ninjutsu' Kakashi thought.
"So since we got that done, I'll tell you guys our first assignment we'll be doing between the four of us" Kakashi-sensei said.
"What kind of assignment Kakashi-sensei" Sakura asked.
"Survival Training" Kakashi-sensei simply answered.
"Why survival training we already did that in academy" Naruto asked not taking his eyes off the clouds.
"Well in this survival training you'll be against me but this isn't normal survival training" Kakashi-sensei said while he started chuckling.
"What's so funny Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked looking at Kakashi-sensei strangely.
Naruto finally sat up looking at Kakashi-sensei strangely as well, he was also wondering what could be so difficult about this survival test.
"Your going to freak out when you hear this but out of the twenty seven that graduated only nine will pass and the rest will go back to the academy. The survival test is extra hard and chances of failing are 66"
The three of them all had different expression on their faces, even Sasuke had a slightly worried expression as he heard the percentage of failing.
"I told you, you were going to freak" Kakashi said.
"So what was the point of graduating from academy then" Naruto asked thinking back to all those boring lectures.
"Those were to just see who have chances at being genin" Kakashi replied.
"So meet up at the training field and bring your weapons with you as well and also don't eat break fast you'll just throw it up" Kakashi said. 'If I fail I'm going to have to endure all those lectures again' Naruto thought back to all the time of sleeping in class because of boredom.
"Here's a print out of the survival training tomorrow and don't be late" as Kakashi handed out the prints.
'As Shikamaru would say this is so troublesome' as he thought of his lazy friend.
Authors Note: To people who have reviewed I am thankful and also I just want to make this clear that Naruto is not wearing his usual orange clothing. He is wearing black but not really sure what the outfit should really look like though.
Please read and review.
