Chapter 6: Time skip and test

Some months after Naruto joined ninja academy he and Akane devoted themselves to constantly train and become stronger. For Akane it was to prove that she is Akane and not the demon that attacked the village and for Naruto it was just his will to get stronger so he could fight all chakra-users on equal ground or be stronger than them in order to make magic globally known force. Minato, Kushina and Arashi have committed themselves to teaching the two kids all that they could while not so much that it would look like they get special treatment so they would be prepared when they became certified ninjas of Konoha or at least in Akane's case. Naruto still didn't want to learn anything about using ninja-skills. While Akane did learn with leaps in jumping and Demon's Roar that Naruto taught her she was still far from satisfactory level according to Naruto.

Although people really wished that Naruto would befriend with other people, only persons in Naruto's own age-group outside of Namikaze-Uzumaki-family to worm their ways to Naruto's true friendship circle are Hinata, Junko and Kallen. Akane, Junko and Hinata are trying to act as a bridge between two groups, but when it was between choosing Kallen and clan heirs Naruto would choose Kallen's side automatically and Kallen is still outsider who is sometimes even more resented by villagers than Akane. Still Kallen's life has constantly become better thanks to Naruto as she even sometimes gets called in Namikaze-mansion and she, Junko and Hinata have become rivals of their affections towards their blonde lone wolf crush. Kallen and Junko have begun friendly rivalry amongst each other's by competing who is stronger. First Junko had been in lead, but distance between them has grown smaller over time.

The rest of their friends trained their hardest so as not to get left behind by the two blonde ninjas; even the lazy Shikamaru would indulge himself in constant hours of training. Making a name for themselves in their class and among ninjas who looked forward to the graduation was Naruto, Akane, Kallen, Junko, Sasuke and Sora. The six would be in constant battles with each other desperately trying to one up the other, but no matter how hard they tried Naruto always came out on top defeating his opponents to the point where they could hardly fight back. Naruto showed almost no mercy to those who he didn't like or respect namely Sora and Sasuke. With today the final days of their exams the day was longer and the spars were more difficult than before.

Passing the written portions of the test with high scores were Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Sora, Kallen and Shino. Passing the physical exercises was Naruto, Junko, Kallen, Choji, Sasuke, Kiba, Sora and Akane. Passing the weapons exams was Junko (of course), Naruto, Akane, Kallen, Sora, and Sasuke. The final exam was Accuracy using kunai with Akane, Sasuke, Hinata, and Sai passing with high scores. Shikamaru barely passed a few since he didn't care for ranking nor did he want to be noticed by his peers once he graduated, but he received an earful from Akane and Ino who lectured him about him not putting his all into these exams. The final was the sparring matches, everyone was matched up and the fights were commendable…

Naruto stood in the center of the training ground wearing his usual clothing, style which he hadn't changed since getting it. Naruto closed his eyes for a moment and waited, soon he could hear footsteps approach him from all directions except for above and below. His eyes snapped open and he ducked, dodged, and countered all the punches and kicks that were thrown at him. Naruto kicked at one attacker making them disappear in a puff of smoke, turning around quick he grabbed a punch that was thrown at him and he performed a judo throw sending the attacker into another making both disappear in a puff of smoke like the first. This continued for a moment before the ones surrounding him was down to one. Naruto looked at the one he was facing asking, "You're not finished yet are you Aka-Chan?"

Akane stood opposite Naruto with her blonde hair tied into two long braids instead of one, she was outfit consisting of an orange tracksuit with blue on the upper shoulders area as well as around the waist, a white swirl with a tassel on the left side, a red swirl on the back, a large white collar, orange pants and blue sandals. Akane was smiling then she called out, "Not done yet!" Akane dashed at Naruto and she made a hand sign making smoke appear beside her as many copies of Akane appeared.

Akane had been so bad with her clones that she was in way of failing becoming a Genin. With only two weeks before final exams Naruto had enough. Naruto had made lecture how from all three basic techniques Bunshin was most useless and how learning it was impossible for Akane because her chakra reserves. Mizuki had gotten angry and said that Naruto will teach her. Naruto made bet with Mizuki that if he could teach Akane to make ten or more clones tomorrow in front of entire class he could skip all Mizuki's classes. Mizuki accepted it and twins left. Mizuki waited with big smile for tomorrow when he can embarrass Namikaze-siblings, but his (and many other students') jaw fell on floor when after making hand sign and saying "Kage Bunshin" thirty solid copies of smiling Akane appeared before them. After lecturing how Shadow Clone jutsu was perfect technique for Akane teeth gritting Mizuki had to allow blonde boy to leave all his classes.

Once Akanes got close enough she began swinging the fists at Naruto wildly, but Naruto however trained with Akane long enough to know how she fights, so evading her attacks was quite easy for him. Especially since Akane failed to learn any other battle styles than academy stances and simple brawling. Akane couldn't hit Naruto and when Naruto prepared to kick real Akane she jumped high in air with jumping technique which Naruto had almost beaten in her for last months. She jumped above academy's roofs, but suddenly small rock hit her in forehead and it stunned her for long enough to Naruto jump next to her.

"Don't jump carelessly. It's hard to dodge in air." said Naruto who kicked her in ground hard.

After Naruto landed safely Akane threw her kunai at him, which Naruto easily dodged. Naruto pulled out a kunai from his pouch and with same skills he defeated attackers when he came to village he had beaten every clone that Akane got out. Real Akane tried to jab Naruto with the tonfa she took from her belt, but he countered by making the hole in his kunai handle go through the tonfa guiding it all the way till he punched Akane in her face making her fly back and making her let go of her weapon in the process. Naruto let the kunai go and he took a firm grip of the weapon swinging it around so that the kunai stayed on the edge of the tonfa. After swinging it around for some time he slammed the weapon down toward Akane stopping when the kunai was aimed right at her throat.

Suddenly clapping could be heard and Naruto tossed the weapon to the side and held his hand out for Akane to take. Not wanting to look like a poor sport Akane took her brother's hand and stood up straight, they both looked at Iruka and Mizuki and their classmates who continued to cheer them on. Iruka had a clipboard in his hand and said, "You two did fantastic."

Mizuki also praised although he did so reluctantly, "Well what did you expect Iruka, they are the Yondaime Hokage's kids." After the evaluation was finished Iruka had Naruto and Akane line up with the rest of the class.

Iruka told all the kids, "Well your conditioning is done and all of you pass this part." All of the students except Naruto, Sasuke, Sora, Shikamaru, and Shino let out sighs of relief. Iruka then told all of the kids to follow him into the classroom. As they walked to the classroom Akane, Naruto and their friends except for Sasuke and Sora were walking in a large group.

Kiba had his dog Akamaru sitting on top of his head with his arms behind his head saying in annoyance, "Man my match was no fun at all." Shino also commented on his match looking at Shikamaru as he said, "At least your match was eventful. More than I could say about my match with Shikamaru."

"It would've been a drag to fight you seriously Shino, your far stronger than you look." said the lazy Nara. Choji was chowing down on some freshly opened chips saying, "I lost to Hinata-Chan, but it was a fun fight." Hinata thanked Choji giving him words of encouragement, "I'm sure you would've beaten me if you kept up your attack."

Sakura said out loud, "The only matches that were worth mentioning were Naruto-kun and Aka-Chan's fight, Junko-Chan's and Kallen's fight and Sasuke-kun's fight against Sora." Sora and Sasuke had fought even longer than Naruto and Akane and only Junko's and Kallen fight had lasted longer than theirs. In the end it had ended for Mizuki stopping it and calling it draw for relief of fans of two boys. Junko and Kallen who had both bruises smiled at each other. Junko had won, but battle could've gone either way and two of Junko's wooden swords were broken. "You've beaten me this time, but don't count on it in future." Kallen said with smile. "I won't lose either." Junko said with matching smile. Akane rubbed the back of her head, "Yeah, but nii-san still won. He hasn't lost not one fight yet."

"That's because Naruto-kun is unbeatable. He even beat that kid who graduated last year when our class had the friendly fight with last year's graduating class." said Ino. Naruto walked in silence a little bit ahead of his friends listening to them. Akane looked ahead and saw kid that appeared all the time to check them called Sai was looking at Naruto while trying to stay hidden. Only Naruto, Junko, Kallen and Hinata with her Byakugan noticed him. Suddenly Sai decided it was enough staying hidden and appeared before the group.

They all watched waiting to hear Sai's next insult to Naruto. Over the school years Sai has been a tad bit friendlier, but he's taken to calling everyone a weird name. Naruto, Shikamaru, Shino, Kallen and Sasuke were being the better basically ignoring whatever he said, but with Choji, Kiba, Akane, Ino and Sakura with short fuses they would attempt to hurt the pale faced boy. Kallen, Hinata and Junko like the Naruto and a few others ignored him, but they didn't like how he would constantly call their friends hurtful names.

Sai kept his creepy smile plastered on his face passing conversation with Naruto, "So dick less have you any idea how strong you really are?" Naruto kept his eyes glued forward ignoring the boy's bad habit of calling him that. "I think that out of the few ninjas here, you, I, Sora and even the Uchiha are strong enough to be inducted into the ANBU training for gifted children."

Naruto looked at Sai as he walked saying, "Not interested." Sai looked at Naruto with his eyes closed saying, "My you don't seem like the one to want to hang around those weaker than yourself. Hear me-"

Sai was interrupted when Naruto spoke, "I'm sorry Sai, I think your confusing me with someone who gives a shit. After this I'm not gonna say it again, 'I am not interested'." Naruto said the last part with seriousness. Sai's happy face didn't falter instead he said, "Okay. I know when enough is enough." Sai then sped up his pace catching up with the rest of the class.

Akane sped up to her brother asking, "What was that all about?" Naruto shrugged his shoulders saying, "Nothing he says is even worth mentioning or repeating." Akane somewhat agreed and they continued to the classroom. Once inside everyone took their assigned seats sitting quietly and they saw Iruka and Mizuki leave the room. Everyone knew that today was their last days in the academy so they expected to have to do a final exam portion in order to become ninjas.

The whole class erupted into chatter with everyone wondering what the final exam would require them to do. Naruto was sitting quietly with his arms crossed thinking, 'This is it? This is how everyone becomes a ninja in Konoha? Or is there something else?' Naruto had his suspicions that there was more to them graduating than just acing the academy otherwise anyone would become ninjas. He glanced around the room knowing full well that a few kids were just there because they thought ninja life would be fun and they could use it as an excuse to do things ordinary citizens couldn't. Naruto was brought out of his thoughts when Iruka came back in with a box.

Iruka opened the box up and pulled out a single headband telling everyone, "Well this is it. Today we'll see if you're worthy enough to wear one of these." A few of the kids leaned over their desks with their eyes sparkling after seeing the headband. Iruka placed it on the desk, and then he reached back into the box pulling out more of them making rows of leaf headbands until the box was empty. Once he was done he announced, "Okay all of you will wait outside of the classroom and we'll call you all in one at a time to do one more final practice to see if you'll officially become a ninja of Konoha."

Mizuki came back in with a few papers handing them to Iruka. He then told the class to wait outside so that they could begin. The students did as they were told and went to wait in the hallways so they could get their graduation over and done with.

After the kids were done Iruka looked at one of the papers that Mizuki handed to him and said, "Is this true? Sai gets an immediate pass? "Mizuki nodded telling him, "I received that from an ANBU ninja. When I asked what was going on he told me that it wasn't of any concern of mine and just to let Sai's sensei know."

Iruka crumbled up the paper and stuck it into the inside of his flak jacket so that no one else would see it. Shaking the uneasy feeling off he had Mizuki call in the students so they could begin, but the issue with Sai would have to be told to the Hokage if he knew at all.

Mizuki frowned as Naruto descended. He got the job specifically so he could become Akane's mentor… and then completely sabotage her, unfortunately in Akane's last year, of the nine they are required to stay, her twin appeared and that boy did not even attempt to listen to him.

"May you do well Namikaze-kun!" Mizuki smiled, but it was obviously fake.

Naruto merely ignored him and stepped out of the class into the hall and made his way to the examination room. He was going to ace through this with his magical version of Kage Bunshin, Kawarimi is covered with speed and he had learned way to mask his appearance with magic long ago.

X-One hour later-X

The doors leading to the academy suddenly burst open with students running out shouting and screaming with joy that they were finally ninjas. The parents of these now ninjas were waiting outside congratulating their kids on a job well done and that they'll make their village proud. Akane and the others walked out happy that they became ninjas, but since they were ninjas they needed to stop acting wild and needed to be more mature. Kallen and Naruto looked indifferent, but Kallen sighed inside her head. Everyone had their headbands tied so that people would see that they are now ninjas.

Shikamaru had his tied around this left arm, Shino's was tied on his forehead along with Akane, Junko, Kallen, Kiba and Sasuke, Choji had his made into a bandana that had two holes at the top letting his hair stick out, Ino wrapped hers around her waist, Sakura had hers tied to the top of her head to tie her hair, Hinata had her tied loosely around their necks, and Naruto had his tied around his right arm.

When they got outside they already saw their families waiting outside for them. Kushina saw Akane and Naruto walk to her direction and she immediately began to gush over them hugging the both of them saying, "Oh my babies became ninjas!" Akane was trying to breathe while saying, "Kaa-san stop… You're embarrassing us…" Kushina ignored her daughter's words and continued hugging them for a moment before finally stopping.

"Your tou-san said that he's sorry that he can't come and congratulate you since he's away on business, but he says he has a surprise for both of you once he returns. Your brother Arashi said the same thing after he gets back with tou-san." said Kushina happily. Naruto turned his head and saw Sai walk out last holding his headband instead of wearing it. Sai made a glance at Naruto before jumping off into an unknown direction with no one else really noticing him.

Naruto made it out the door when a hand on his shoulder stopped him. He was unable to stop it as he was pulled back into a half nelson.

"Wow buddy, you bet of not had other plans. You're with use today."

"Kiba let me go or I'll cut of your left testicle." The Inuzuka paled. Naruto didn't see it, but he just knew it by the loosing of the grip.

"It's illogical to cut off only the left. It would be the best to remove the entire sexual organ."

"Shino! Don't help!" Kiba pushed Naruto back onto his feet and dusted off his shoulders. "We good right buddy!"

Naruto merely looked back at his mother and noticed that she was looking into a different direction, as he looked he saw Akane talking with Hinata and Junko and their bodyguards. He assumed that Akane was asking Hinata and Junko to come join them at their home to hang out. Naruto was well aware of what happened to Hinata's mother and how her father isn't really the most caring of people. Junko herself was under constant surveillance like Sasuke since they are 'last' Uchiha shinobis.

Akane suddenly looked happier and she took Hinata and Junko's hands and dragged them over to where Naruto and Kushina were saying, "Kaa-san, Hinata-Chan and Junko-Chan are coming over for dinner. Is that okay?" Naruto and Kushina looked at Akane with Naruto saying, "You know you're supposed to ask kaa-san if we can have visitors before you actually invite them?"

Kushina tapped Naruto on the head saying, "it's okay. It's Junko-Chan and Hinata-Chan after all." Junko and Hinata bowed to Kushina thanking her for allowing her to come back to their home. Naruto noticed as Kallen walked away to go in her place in Sarutobi-compound. The four of them walked back to the mansion and asked Naruto first, "Naruto-kun, why didn't you and Aka-Chan eat breakfast this morning?"

"I wanted to, but Akane broke into my room shouting that we needed to leave and I only had time to grab a piece of toast." answered Naruto.

"I didn't want to be late! After all today would be our last day at the academy and I wanted to make sure I didn't miss a thing!" shouted Akane. Hinata told Naruto and Akane, "You two could've shared my lunch with me. Our cook always makes me more that I can eat."

Naruto told Hinata, "I didn't want to be a bother." Hinata responded to his answer, "It wouldn't have been a bother. Right Aka-Chan?"

Akane shouted, "Dang it! I could've had some elegant food!" Akane pretended like she was pulling out her hair. Junko, Hinata and Kushina started to giggle at the little blonde girl's antics.

Though Akane's happy expression changed to sadness when she said, "Things won't be like they used to be since we won't see a lot of each other once we get our teams tomorrow though." Hinata seemed to get a bit gloomy as well as she looked at Naruto wondering if she'll be on the same team as him. Junko also thought same thing.

"Don't worry Akane-chan. It's not like you won't see your friends ever again, I'm sure your sensei's will still give you time off every once in a while." said Kushina. Akane lifted her spirits so she wouldn't bring anyone else down saying loudly, "Your right kaa-san! Come on guys let's get home so we can eat!" With that said they walked behind Akane all the way to the mansion.

X-Somewhere underground of Konoha-X

Sai walked into a dimly lit room wearing a black ninja shirt, black pants, a gray backpack and his ninja pouch secured around his waistline. He took a few steps before kneeling before an elderly man sitting before him. The man had his back facing the boy with a small table in front of him and a blank scroll rolled out, he pulled out a brush and was practicing his calligraphy on the blank scroll. He had long black shaggy hair, his right eye was bandaged up, he has a distinct 'x' shaped scar on his chin, and he wears a white shirt with a brown robe over top of it covering from his feet, to just over his right shoulder. He kept his cane close to him which was laying down where he sat.

The man didn't even turn to look at Sai, but he spoke in a kind of gruff voice, "Well? What did the boy say?" Sai's smile disappeared as he reported, "He is very stern on his decision. Once he makes it, he won't change it. His decision was no." The elderly man grabbed his cane and he stood up carefully. He walked over to Sai and said, "What ahuge shame. His magic would've been great asset for Konoha. Your mission is complete. You can go back to how you were before I sent you on this mission. Go."

Sai bowed his head almost touching the ground then disappeared into the darkness. Out from the wall appeared a man wearing a black cloak and a porcelain mask, he bowed as well asking, "Danzo-sama, the Hokage is making his way back from his meeting with the Fire Daimyo."

Danzo looked at his subordinate saying, "The Chunin exams draw ever so closer, the Genin graduated today, and if my Intel is right then Orochimaru will make his appearance soon. We must prepare." The Anbu ninja agreed then faded back into the shadows. Danzo turned back around and sat down where he left his unfinished work at. He placed his cane to his side and picked up his brush and continued doing his calligraphy.

X-Two Hours Later: Hokage Mansion-X

Junko was later taken by Mikoto and Hinata was picked up by a family member an hour ago since her father wanted to at least congratulate her on getting her headband. Kushina knew how far Hiashi's courtesy went and she expected Hinata to get the 'don't disappoint me or the clan lecture' again. However it was none of her business, she's more than happy to talk to Hinata and all, but she wasn't going to do any unnecessary action… Unless it called for her.

Naruto was in the living room doing a few pushups, sit ups, squats and a few other exercises to keep his body in top shape. Sometimes he did those with only his bandaged hand. Akane was watching her brother and her thought drifted to Naruto's arm and was shamed how she responded in fear when she first saw it. Junko, Kallen and Hinata were only friends of theirs who have seen demonic hand and Naruto's black blood. In few seconds Akane was drifting to her thoughts about what her team would be. She hoped she could be in the same team as her friends so that she wouldn't have to spend a lot of time of synching with new people. He wouldn't admit it, but Naruto was also curious about what team he would be placed on tomorrow. Their father had already told both kids that he wasn't going to tell them who their teammates are since that wouldn't be fair and it wasn't something a Kage should do.

The two suddenly heard a shriek come from the kitchen and they both dashed for the kitchen each of the two carrying a kunai in both hands. When they got there they saw their mother backed up against a wall pressed up against their father and their lips were locked together. Akane immediately covered her eyes dropping the kunai in the process shouting, "That's gross! Get a room!" Unlike Akane, Naruto put both his kunai away in his ninja pouch and left the entrance way to the kitchen. Akane walked away with her hands still covering her eyes following Naruto's footsteps.

Minato broke away from his wife watching the state he put her in, "Miss me Ku-Chan?" asked Minato. Kushina regained her senses and lightly punched him on the arm saying, "Baka." She turned back to cleaning the kitchen telling her husband, "I take it Arashi took Hana out on another date?" Minato took of his coat and held it under his right arm saying, "Yeah, after I dismissed them the two left quickly."

"They aren't really considerate with the fact that their parents know what they are doing." said Kushina, "We surely weren't like that at their age." She grabbed a few plates and put them away in the cupboards.

Minato smiled at her then headed into the living room finding his youngest children in there sitting quietly. Minato took a seat in front of both of them saying, "Congratulations on becoming official Konoha ninjas. I'm very proud of both of you and I have a surprise for the both of you as well." Both the kids watched as he took a few steps back and he they saw him bite his bottom lip letting some blood ooze out, he ran his thumb across his lip getting the blood on it and he performed the summoning jutsu shouting, "Summoning Jutsu!"

As with many summoning jutsu a cloud of smoke appears followed by the summoned animal. Which in this case was a large orange toad with turquoise flame designs on his body; he has white wrappings round his arms and waist, and a beaded necklace with the kanji for 'Loyalty' on it. In its mouth was a large red and green scroll. The toad stuck out its tongue letting the scroll roll on the floor. Minato used his foot to stop it then he sat down and unraveled it himself, by this time Akane was leaning practically over it waiting in anticipation and Naruto was still in his same seat watching everything unfold before him. After Minato unrolled the giant scroll the twins saw that the scroll had names written on it with five finger print markings under each name.

Akane looked at it and then she pointed to a few names saying, "Hey look! Ero-Sennin's name is in here… Hey so is tou-san and Arashi-nii!" Naruto was glancing at the scroll and saw the names of Jiraiya, Minato, and Arashi written in it just as Akane said.

"Well that's because this is the summoning contract that we signed with the toads. It allows us to summon them whenever we need their help, Gama here is the keeper of the scroll and the other keeper is Jiraiya." said Minato. Akane jumped up from her seated position and shouted, "Do we get to sign the contract and get toads of our own!"

At this point Kushina walked into the living room and saw the toad Gama in the living room and came to the conclusion that Naruto and Akane's gift was the summoning contract. She sat on the couch watching the event before her.

Minato told them, "Yes, you guys get to have the toads as a summons." Minato held out his hand saying, "All you need to do is write your name on an empty slot in your own blood, then mark your fingerprints in your own blood beneath where you wrote your name. Unfortunately you can't start practicing using summoning until you start your Chunin exams, but you have something to wait now."

Akane sat down in a meditating position, and then she bit her right thumb and started to write her name in the empty slot next to where Arashi wrote his, after that she placed her fingerprints in blood under her name. After she was done she motioned for Naruto to come do it as well. Naruto just clanced at scroll before he politely refused. "Thanks, but I already said that I won't learn any ninja skills and summoning is one of those. I shall find my own summons."

"But only summons I know are those that ninjas use." Akane said confused.

"Yes. That you know…" Naruto said mysteriously.

After that Minato was little disappointed, but accepted it and he rolled up the scroll and gave it to Gama, who disappeared soon after getting it back.

X-Konoha Blue Moon Restaurant-X

This restaurant was for ninjas on their days off or who just finished their mission so there was no worry about dressing up. Sitting in a table in a corner was Arashi and Hana who just got done eating their food and were now enjoying the other's company. Many of Arashi's fan girls didn't like the fact that he chose Hana over many of them, but Hana didn't like the fact that rumors were going around that with Arashi as the oldest son of the Yondaime that there was talk of making the Namikaze from a simple family into a clan. So that meant that if the rumors were true then he would register with the C.R.A. (Clan Restoration Act).

Arashi also overheard a few of the rumors and some concerning that Itachi and Sasuke were going to rebuild the Uchiha clan as well and he knew about Itachi's love interest within the Uchiha clan that he himself handled personally. He knew that some of these issues would come up sooner or later, but he put Hana's worries to rest telling her that rumors were nothing more than that, 'rumors' with no hard facts to back them up. That helped her a little, but it didn't satisfy her enough until she found out the rumors were false.

Both Arashi and Hana were wearing their Konoha uniform as were the rest of the ninjas in the restaurant.

"You know we've been going out for a while now and I have never asked this." said Arashi. Hana tilted her head a bit wondering what he was going to ask, "What made you like me? I mean I can guess a basic reason why, but I don't know what really made you attracted to me?"

Hana teased him, "Maybe I'm just one of those fan girls who wants to get in good with your father." After she said that both Arashi and Hana started to laugh, then they calmed down after a minute with her answering truthfully, "But in all seriousness I didn't really care for you. I thought you and Itachi were just two showoffs since you were both geniuses and were just doing all your flash for attention and trying to get the ladies." Arashi was smiling as he listened to her, "What made me fall for you was when my ninken Ikki was kicked by a ninja when he accidentally marked his territory and hit his leg and you were the first one to help me carry him to my compound to get looked at by our vet. What sealed the deal was when you saw all our puppies and you told me that how anyone not helps could any of them injure let alone hurt one of these brave ninjas."

Arashi scratched the back of his head, "Yeah well those ninken are just as much as ninjas as me or you, so he was a comrade in need." Arashi saw that she placed her hands on the table and he nonchalantly reached over and took her hands in his saying, "If you ever need anything, you know you could tell me right?"

Hana started to blush a bit trying to hide it, but failed miserably. Hana stood up saying, "Well I should get back, Ikki, Ishi, and Iyashii need to have their checkup early tomorrow and I have to check the pups as well." Arashi stood up as well, but he grabbed her hand again and pulled her toward him allowing him to wrap an arm around her waist telling her, "That's why you have hired hands for."

His lips got closer and closer to hers and she tried to argue, "Yeah, but they are very picky about who grooms them…" He silenced her when his lips made full contact with hers. After a minute his lips parted from hers making the kunoichi vet groan in annoyance and she heard him say, "Well they are just gonna have to bite the bullet on this one. They get to see you more than I do." He glided his hand across her cheek then used his thumb to rub her red fang tattoo on her cheek.

She closed her eyes and seemed to be in a kind of trance finally agreeing with him, "Well… maybe this one time."

Arashi gave her a small chuckle telling the Inuzuka, "Yeah I know since you've said that the last twelve times." He kept his left arm wrapped around her waist and raised his right hand snapping their fingers and both of them were gone instantly.

X-Morning Konoha Academy-X

All the now Genin save for Sai who just disappeared as far as everyone knew waited in class. Iruka stood at the front of the class holding his clipboard as usual reading off who went to what team. Everyone was scattered around the class not sitting in their assigned seats since there was no point in the matter. Naruto was sitting around his friends as most of them were eager to see who they would end up being teamed up with. Sasuke was again sitting off by himself, but his fan girls were surrounding him saying what they would do when they were on his team.

"All right everyone take your seats." It took a few minutes but eventually everyone was seated. Kiba and Sasuke were the last two to take their seats and both were throwing near-constant glares at the blonde. Sakura had to be led back to her seat by her former best friend Ino Yamanaka. "Now that everyone's seated, I have a few announcements to make. First, I'd like to congratulate you all on passing your exams, and warn you that the path you've chosen will only become more difficult and dangerous from here on in. Now to announce the rookie of the year; the winner of that title is none other than Sasuke Uchiha while close second is Sora Kurokshi." he nodded toward the Uchiha and Kurokshi, who promptly 'hmphed,' before their fan girls started screaming.

Iruka calmed the class down by shouting a bit loudly, "Okay listen up! I will now read off who will be selected to what team, now how this works is that you will be placed on a three man cell with a Jounin for a sensei. The teams have been selected by me and the Hokage for this class, so no complaining about not liking your team. Your set up according to equal out the teams basically we balance out if a weaker student will be placed on a team that will strengthen that one's weakness. Understood?"

All the student's nodded, but slumped a bit in their seats now finding out that they might not be on the same team as their friends.

Iruka cleared his throat again for everyone's attention on him once again, "Ahem. I will now be announcing the team placements for the different Genin Squads. Team 1 is…" Iruka droned on and on until he came to an interesting list of names.

"...And last member of Team 5 is Sora Kurokshi. Your sensei is Kuurei Mitokado." There was shouting from Sora's fan girls which were silenced by Iruka. Kallen was thinking darkly how obvious it was that how Sora's sensei would be same man who has illegally taught him using Kyuubi's chakra.

"Team 6 will be Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, Junko Uchiha and Kallen Kurokshi. Your sensei will be Yugao Uzuki."

Naruto nodded his head. 'This sounds like an alright team.' he thought to himself, 'Kallen, Junko and I've been friends for a while and Junko and Kallen's rivalry will help them getting stronger. I wonder why this Yugao was chosen as our sensei. It must be more of because of Junko; since Kallen is still outcast and I don't want to learn any ninjutsu.'

Junko started blushing while thinking that she is in same team with Naruto. Kallen sighed in relief as her team was very much okay for her. Then two girls locked their eyes and people could see sparks flying between. Still they had small smile in their face which only people close to them could notice. Hinata was little sad for not being in same team with her crush and only Akane noticed that.

"Team 7 will be Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno…"

"YES!" shrieked the pink-haired fan girl, in a moment of pure fangirlic bliss. "Take that Ino-pig, true love conquers all!" shouted the pink-haired fan girl in victory.

"…and Akane Uzumaki-Namikaze." he finished ignoring Sakura's fan girl outburst and Akane's groans when she heard she is in same team as Sasuke, too used to such things interrupting his lectures. "Your sensei will be Kakashi Hatake."

This time the boys jumped up shouting why Sasuke and Naruto had two kunoichis on their teams and the rest of them only had one. Iruka shouted that it wasn't his decision, but the Hokage's and because there were too many female graduates for usual team formations and that calmed everyone down reluctantly.

Iruka got to team 8 announcing, "Team 8 will be Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka and of course his ninken Akamaru, and lastly Hinata Hyuuga and your sensei is Kurenai Yuhi!"

Kiba didn't mind the team he was placed on and said to Akamaru, "Well at least we're with people we know. Right Akamaru?" His little dog still sitting on the top of his head barked. Shino adjusted his glasses and that was all. Hinata however was a bit depressed that she couldn't be on the same team as her crush even though she remembered what Kushina said about them still being able to see each other on their off time, but it didn't really help the Hyuuga girl.

"Team 9 is still in circulation from last year, and Team 10 will be Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi, and… Shikamaru Nara." Ino got out of her seat shouting, "No! It's not like I see enough of these two as it is, but now I'm on their team!"

Shikamaru yawned and placed his head on his desk mumbling, "Troublesome…" Choji was happy with the team he was placed on and began crunching on his chips as always. Iruka looked next to their team name and told the three, "Your sensei will be Asuma Sarutobi, so just wait for him to come get you and sit quietly. Especially you Ino!" Ino slumped back into her seat not liking the team she was placed on.

After that were still sorting for Teams 11, 12 and 13. After those Iruka started leaving.

"Okay so I'm going now. Just sit quietly and wait for your Jounin senseis to show up and be polite and remember your all ninjas now so you'll need to act like one and not a child. Good luck to all of you." and with that Iruka left with a smile on his face.

The students began to pair up with their teams they were assigned with. Teams 6, 7, 8, and 10 sat together save for Sasuke who still sat alone. He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard two distinct seats of footsteps stop by him. He looked up and saw Akane and Sakura looking at him, Sakura with a happy face and Akane with a look of uninterested look.

Akane told Sasuke, "Since we are on the same team we should be fairer. Sakura and I agree that it would be good to sit with Teams 6, 8 and 10." Sasuke scoffed and said, "Leave me alone."

Sakura pleaded, "Come on Sasuke-kun it's been a long time since you hung out with all of us." Sasuke turned away from them scoffing at the both of them again. Naruto immediately sighed and said, "I don't want to do, but do I have choice. Gotta do it the hard way." In one swift motion he snatched the prince charming by the collar of his blue shirt and dragged him. Sasuke was pissed that Naruto was emasculating him in front of the whole class and he didn't have much time to resist since the rest of his 'friends' met them halfway.

Naruto slammed him down in a chair still holding onto his collar shouting in his face, "Listen Sasuke-teme! This isn't about just you anymore! It does about the team now, so you are gonna have to not 'act' like one, but you are going to 'be one'! I'm tired of you thinking that you were dealt the worst hand out of everyone in the village and that everyone should immediately feel sorry for you! Be a real man!" After he shouted that he shook him by his collar once before pushing him back in his seat one last time making him almost fall back. Naruto offered one last set of words for him while looking him with eyes turned red, "Your being a spoiled brat."

Sakura and Akane looked between Sasuke and Naruto looking at how Naruto had his arms crossed and his back facing Sasuke and Sasuke glaring at his back. Everyone in the classroom were shocked that Naruto went that far, but that it was about time someone knocked the Uchiha prince off his pedestal. After glaring at Naruto, Sasuke simply crossed his arms and looked the other way. Everyone else sat down and began talking amongst themselves until their senseis arrived to come pick them up. There was not much else they could do besides wait.

It was 2:15; about fifteen minutes after Iruka had told them all to be back by. A couple of Jounin had already arrived but the majority of the class was still sitting in their seats waiting for their own senseis. It was then that the door slowly slid open revealing a pair of figures.

One was a massive mountain of a man; he was over six feet tall and heavily muscled. He had dark black hair that was spiked back and formed a pair of thick sideburns and a goatee to frame his faces, giving him a slightly apish appearance. Despite his rather roguish appearance of his face he looked quite relaxed or jovial. He looked to be in his late twenties, maybe early thirties and had strong features, a rather thick nose, and light brown eyes. His mouth was currently open in a toothy smirk while he absently smoked on a cigarette. He was dressed in a standard Jounin uniform with the sleeves rolled back halfway up his forearms and he wore his hitai-ate wrapped around his forehead. He also had a red sash with the kanji for 'Fire' stamped on it, a thin black metal bracelet on both of his wrists, and bandages wrapped about halfway up his upper arms.

Standing next to him was a young woman who looked to be about the same age as the man. She stood with a lithe form and dark purple hair that she wore long and loose down her back and over her shoulders. She had sharp features, narrow dark green eyes, and wore dark reddish-purple lipstick. She was dressed in a standard Jounin uniform like the man's but hers seemed to have been slightly altered in a few ways. Naruto could see the bits of an Anbu chest plate showing beneath her unzipped flak jacket, and she also wore a pair of standard Anbu armguards along her forearms. The sleeves of her shirt were unusually long and wide, going down past her wrists and covering most her hands in a billowing appearance. She wore her hitai-ate strapped to her right bicep, a katana sheathed over her left shoulder, and a thin, silver bracelet on her left wrist with a pair of charms, one shaped like a flower the other like a crescent moon.

"Team 10, you're with me." grunted the man around his cigarette.

"Team 6, please follow me to the roof." Yugao stated calmly as she turned to leave.

X-The Academy Roof-X

Yugao Uzuki was not in the best of moods as she walked down the hallways of the Konoha Ninja Academy to meet her Genin squad. The reason for her poor mood occurred just a few days ago at the Jounin Meeting in order to decide the final order of teams. The Jounin Meeting worked by each registered jounin who wanted to, or had to at least attempt, taking on a Genin squad would receive a list of all graduates, and then they would make selections out of the lists to start determining their squads. The Hokage would then review all the claims and make a decision based on the Jounin's skills and experience, the squad layout, and the idea behind the squad design. Given the fact that most of the students wouldn't actually pass their exams, a large number of the Jounin applying would not be acting as team senseis. In fact several jounin formed teams designed to fail in order to get out of actually having to take a team during the period. While frowned upon, the Hokage allowed this to ensure that only a qualified and enthusiastic teacher would take on a Genin squad. A teacher who was morose or resentful to his position would not make a good trainer for a squad of Genin, after all.

Given that over a half-dozen clan heirs, not to mention a couple of talented clan less or civilian students, were graduating this year, the number of Jounin enlisting was much higher than usual. With a graduating class like this there was a lot of overlay in the requests for team designs. Yugao had personally counted at least a dozen requests to lead a Sasuke's or/and Sora's team. While the meeting itself could be quite annoying, since many of the registered Jounin would squawk and argue while they waited for the Hokage's decision.

X-Flashback-X

Yugao stood in the small crowd of Jounin assembled to hear the Hokage's announcements for the team formations. The small crowd was almost arguing who gets who and with some of them unable to make any compromises.

Last Jounins were giving their suggestions and first went Kuurei after Asuma wanted team of Kurokshi-siblings and Shikamaru and Yugao requested all female-team with Junko, Kallen and Akane. "I, Kuurei Mitokado, have requested the formation of a squad containing Sora Kurokshi, Sasuke Uchiha and Mido Mitokado. It is my belief that these three can be molded into a perfect Assault Squad. Mido's clan techniques and good chakra control would allow her to be good supporter of two attackers like Sora and Sasuke. Sasuke's powerful taijutsu and ninjutsu combined with Sharingan he is undefeatable powerhouse and combined with his natural intelligence would make him an excellent group tactician. Finally Sora is the powerhouse of the group with his chakra-reserves, acting as the group's front-line fighter. Added I'm best of sealing arts user amongst Jounins here so I could help him with controlling Kyuubi's chakra and nobody here knows how he fights better than me. For added plus when Sora's skills in wind are combined with fires of Uchiha you get powerful force." intoned Jounin as he really thought he gets his team as Civilians in Council were backing him up.

Kakashi was the next one to speak up, "I, Kakashi Hatake, have requested the formation a squad containing, Sasuke Uchiha, Junko Uchiha and Akane Namikaze. I believe that these three could form an excellent Heavy Combat Squad. Sasuke and Akane possess the ability to inherit the Sharingan, making Sasuke a natural ninjutsu and genjutsu specialist, as well as an excellent taijutsu practitioner. Junko possesses excellent skills with blades allowing her to be good partner for Sasuke. Finally Akane possesses an immense amount of stamina and endurance, making him an excellent front-line fighter with the proper training. Since I possess the Sharingan myself, even if it's not a natural one, I am best qualified to teach Sasuke and Junko how to use it. Added to that, my combat experience makes me well suited for leading such a squad. "

Arguing had continued until Minato had ordered all Jounins to wait outside. Little while later Jiraiya had arrived joining in conversation about teams when talk about Naruto had come up.

Minato was relaxing a little saying to Jiraiya, "Man that wasn't fun at all. I missed Naruto and Akane's graduation today for a meeting that we could've talked about using messengers or messenger birds."

"Yeah, but no one said that a Kage's life would be easy. Man it felt good to be back home and finish up my research." said Jiraiya who had a blank book out and started writing a few ideas for a new story in it.

Minato sighed saying to his former sensei, "Maybe you're not the greatest influence on Akane and Naruto after all." Jiraiya didn't hear what he said asking what he said, but Minato waved it off wanting nothing more than to get home. Jiraiya stopped writing for a moment asking, "Your worried about the team Naruto is placed on aren't you?"

"Yeah somewhat." said Minato. He pulled out a scroll from the inside of his coat and unraveled it so he could unseal its contents. Inside were two packets that he handed to Jiraiya. The toad sannin took the two packets and read the name off of the first one, "Junko Uchiha… Huh, so this kid was one of the only survivors of the Uchiha massacre and Mikoto's kid?" Minato nodded.

"She is very shy with Naruto's presence when they are alone, but when push comes to shove then that's when her true nature arises. She is very devoted to her samurai-like traditions and has a strong sense of justice. Her strength lies in kenjutsu, so Yugao is best possible sensei for her after Kakashi and we can't place her in same team with Sasuke, it would ruin forming of other teams." said Minato.

Jiraiya shifted to the next packet reading the name, "Kallen Kurokshi. Almost dead last so it seems. It's strange that Akane is still dead last although she is your kid. Just how bad her academics and concentration are? Kallen is held back because of her lack of control of basic ninjutsu due to her injury in chakra network, but is good when it comes to taijutsu, planning and Intel gathering. Finally graduated by the skin of her teeth just passing. Hmmm… Kurokshi… Why does that sound familiar?"

"Remember, her brother Sora was one who you sealed Kyuubi's chakra which lingered in air and Asuma brought them when their father, one of twelve ninja guardians Kazuma, died and they were adopted in Sarutobi-clan." said Minato again. Jiraiya then remembered and said, "Oh yeah, Sora is considered with hero title which should belong to Akane who keeps Kyuubi in bay and Kallen is considered village pariah." Glancing through to a certain part he brings up, "Could those statuses as village pariahs be real reason why Akane and Kallen are dead last?"

Minato nodded, "I've considered it and I have Mizuki put in surveillance. Anbu are saying he acts somehow strange. Getting back to team I had to think more about relations of Naruto than formation of team since Naruto and Kallen are bit problematic. In their age group Kallen and Naruto are only truly friends with Junko, Akane and Hinata. Junko and Kallen are rivals so together they help each other's grow. Naruto himself insists to not learn any ninjutsu so it leaves only team formations to learn. In this team Naruto is special skills expert with his magic, Kallen covers taijutsu and Junko kenjutsu."

After reading a bit more he told Minato, "So we have Naruto Namikaze, Junko Uchiha and Kallen Kurokshi with their sensei being Yugao Uzuki. That's a scary combination when you think about it."

Minato sighed and told Jiraiya, "They will even things out with Naruto eventually. Iruka told me that while Naruto's training with the other students has gotten better he's taken to talking down to those he doesn't like or isn't his friend. Inoichi thinks that if Naruto was on a normal Genin team then the team would fall apart with Naruto refusing to do anything more to team than is in regulations. At least this way Junko and Kallen can keep and probably even get Naruto on the right track as well and show him that teamwork is essential to survival. I know this plan makes almost no sense, but it's all I can do so far without showing favoritism."

Jiraiya looked out of the window inside the office saying, "Hope everything goes according to plan."

X-Flashback end-X

Yugao shook her head once again. She had her Genin team to be introduced, and it wouldn't do for her to be pissed while making introductions.

Finding a spot on the roof, the woman leaned against a railing while motioning for her students to sit down, which they did. "Alright everyone, my name is Yugao Uzuki and I'm going to be your Jounin Instructor for the time being. First, why don't we get to know each other? Just tell me a bit about yourselves." stated the woman calmly.

She point to Junko first saying, "You first samurai girl. Tell me your name, likes, dislikes, your goals and or dream for the future." Junko took a while to speak, "My name is Junko Uchiha. I like to train, big-brother Itachi and mother, my friends, swords in general and Naruto-kun. I dislike criminals, emos and sexists. My goal is to make Jounin and my dream is to become bringer of true justice."

Yugao nodded her head in thought. 'It looks like Kushina-sensei was right; the girl takes her issues about justice and honor seriously. We are ninjas, not samurais, so I'll have to work on those. It also seems she has a bit of a crush on little Naruto-kun. Well if memory serves about sensei's match-making attempts, she'll be really happy soon enough.' she thought with a small smirk as she turned her attention to Kallen. "You're next redhead." she stated.

The girl sighed and rubbed her chin telling them a little bit about herself, "My name is Kallen Kurokshi. I like my true friends, train and Naruto-kun. I dislike assholes, idiots, politicians, bigoted people, emos and Sora. My goal is to defeat my brother in front many people and my dream is… My own business."

Yugao frowned and thought, 'This one is so independent. I need to break her of that.' She pointed to Naruto last and said, "Well you're the only one left."

Naruto still had his emotionless expression telling everyone, "My name is Naruto Namikaze, I like to train, magic, family, my real friends, some people outside of village and ramen. I don't like arrogance without something to back it up or those who try and harm my real friends and comrades and humanity in general. My goal is to show greatness and power of magic over chakra. As for my dream I'm going to change this world permanently."

With a final nod of Yugao's head she spoke up again. "Alright everyone, tomorrow I want the three of you to meet me at Training Ground 19 at o nine hundred. We'll be taking a little test so get plenty of sleep and eat a good breakfast." she instructed

"What kind of test?" questioned Kallen.

"A special survival test to see if you three actually become Genin." answered Yugao calmly.

"But we already passed our Genin exams!" yelled Junko.

"That was just a test to weed out the ones not fit for the secondary exam." answered Yugao before a cold smirk spread over her features, "Oh, and I should warn you, this test has a 66% failure rate."

Kallen and Junko gulped while Naruto stayed cool. "Sixty-six percent?" Kallen repeated.

"Yes." answered Yugao. "So the three of you better come prepared and bring your best, because tomorrow I intend to put you three to the test." stated the former Anbu pleasantly.

The three Genin exchanged looks before each nodded their heads and set out for their respective homes to prepare for tomorrow's test. Each one knowing they'd have to be at the top of their game. What the three didn't know was that there was other pair of eyes who had been hiding himself completely. Stepping out of the shadows was Arashi and Yugao smiled for him as they watched the after youngsters.

"Well they aren't going to take any chances on this are they?" said Arashi.

Yugao told the young blonde, "They are thinking with their heads. They know what's at stake and they aren't going to act like kids anymore." Arashi smiled and told the woman, "I'm not worried. Naruto will go in this 110% prepared. I only hope that you're ready."

Yugao turned and watched Arashi leave and she did the same so she could make the preparations for tomorrow.

X-Morning: Konoha -X

Akane woke up to an alarm that was set and she quickly grabbed the alarm clock and promptly tossed it against the wall shattering it. Akane groggily got up and walked straight into her bathroom to wash her face and get ready to go and meet her team for their first team practice and only taking what she needed. Heading across the hall to Naruto's room she opened it without opening it and peeked inside noticing Naruto's bed was neatly made and he was nowhere in sight. She then headed downstairs to go and see if he was there.

Walking downstairs she saw Naruto sitting down and reading a book, where he wrote something all the time. Akane walked over to him asking, "Hey nii-san what are you reading?" Naruto turned and saw Akane rubbing her eyes; he showed her the book saying, "My spell book. I write all magic I've discovered in here and now I'm memorizing them so that I can use them in my test."

Naruto could hear his sister's stomach rumble and he told her, "You should at least snack." Akane shook her head, "No, Kakashi-sensei said not to have breakfast otherwise we'd throw up."

"You're not eating breakfast, you're eating a snack." responded the blonde ninja. Akane contemplated that and then stood up, "I guess an egg and some toast won't kill me." heading to the kitchen to at least snack on something while Naruto continued reading the scroll his brother gave him until it came time to leave. Though Akane didn't have to leave sometime after Naruto would, so she decided to snack then read grimoire of spells.

X-5 am Training Ground 19-X

The sun's rays were barely breaking over the mountains indicating the sun would rise soon. Naruto only had his attire. He came to a stop at a grouping of trees and noticed that Kallen was already there laying down getting extra sleep. Naruto walked over and sat down next to her and fell in nap, the two sleeping in silence the, that is until Junko showed up grumbling, "Why I feel like this when I see Naruto sleeping next to Kallen?" she said and walked to wake up her teammates.

The moment she grouched down they were all surprised when a puff of smoke appeared in front of them revealing Yugao later. The woman said, "Good you're all here on time and ready to begin." The three Genins stood up and waited for their instructions.

Smiling Yugao said, "Now on for your test." She took his hands out of her pockets and explained, "You'll have till seven o'clock to find and catch me. I'm clone, real me is in somewhere in this area. You have to find and somehow make me submit to you. The ways to do this is to either make me submit verbally or make me lose consciousness. Those are your options and if you can't do it until noon then you'll fail the first part of the initiation and will be dropped and stripped of your ranks. Remember these aren't just some kiddy ninja play games… this is real life and I'm going to prepare you for the real world out there."

All three of the ninjas nodded and immediately got into battle positions. Yugao liking how they were to go she decided to start, "Okay we will begin… now." after she vanished in puff of smoke.

Junko took her this time real sword and was about to jump in forest before Naruto motioned her to stop with his hand. Girls turned their attention at him and asked, "So what do you want Naruto-kun?"

"It's this test, there's something off about it." stated the Naruto. "The three of us are fresh Academy Graduates, not even full Genin yet, there's no way we should be able to fight a Jounin like Yugao one-on-one, even with the limits she's set."

"Yugao's no ordinary jounin," stated the bluenette deciding to add her own info as she sheathed her sword. "As one of few sword masters in Konoha I know some things about her. She's a former Anbu commander, and a good one from what I've heard and seen." looking at the raised eyebrows the bluenette shrugged. "She worked with my mother a lot when I was little, and she often looked out for me when mother was too busy." answered the blonde to the unasked questions.

"That just makes it more confusing. There's no way any Genin could take down an opponent like her." muttered a frustrated Naruto.

"I guess you're right. Hell, the three of us working together would probably have trouble doing it." stated Kallen.

"That's got to be it!" Naruto proclaimed. "Remember what Iruka-sensei always said was the most important thing for Konoha shinobi?" responded the Nara

"Teamwork." supplied Kallen quietly, causing Junko's eyes to widen in understanding.

"Exactly." answered only male there. "Konoha's leading philosophy has always been on the strength of the group, not the individual. Teamwork has been the key point of Konoha's strength since the time of the Shodaime. It's one of the reasons my dad's team is such a well-known and respected group in Konoha, they represent what Konoha shinobi are supposed to be, a perfectly oiled team." stated the Naruto. "That's how we're supposed to pass this test, work as a team."

Getting a look from girls as blonde quickly explained reason behind the test. After hearing it, Kallen nodded his head slowly. "It makes sense, in a twisted kind of way. Now all we need to do is to her first." she looked up at his two teammates. "So we work together?" getting nods of agreement from both Junko and Naruto, boy continued. "I have magic just for that. When you have to find something from some area best way to find it is to ask from area itself."

Getting confused looks Naruto walked to the nearest big a fourteen-foot tall tree. The tree had grey and brown colored bark as well as a large patch of moss on the side that faced the three graduates. Naruto placed his bandaged hand in surface, while light blue magic started to flow in tree.

"Familiar Magic Creation: Nightmare Tree."

Boy's team members looked at him confused before they looked up at the tree to see a pair of yellow eyes blinking at them. With its eyes open, the long strip of moss on 'tree' resembled a beard that grew from a wooden nose. The two girls were too transfixed by what they were seeing to avoid the two branches the tree used as hands until it was almost too late. Naruto brought his hand up and tree stopped although it's in frustration its eyes changed to like holes in tree to darkness with yellow spark in and it opened its mouth which looked like fanged entrance to pitch-black darkness.

"Why have you awakened me?" tree suddenly talked with ancient voice.

The shock of his present situation did make girls feel a flush of delirium. "It's big talking tree!" Junko incredulously observed, mostly to herself. "Either Naruto's magic is something that never ceases to amaze me or I'm getting delusional from lack of sleep."

Naruto finally started speaking for tree while keeping his hand out in order to control being he created and keep it in his magical grip. "I gave you power of life with my Familiar Magic and by my power you're my familiar. You're part of this area and you can talk to it, so I want you to tell me location of adult that is hiding in this area."

Tree turned his gaze at his awakener before observing "I know power of magic, but I've never heard of a human using it before. I actually look forward at seeing age where magic is used again like my elders from over thousand years have talked about. But you're right and I shall tell what the earth tells me. There are four adult humans in this area. One is heading towards ravine and he is one closest to you. Few kilometers at north there another is and two last adult humans are closing at that person fast."

"Thank you for your counseling. Now I shall let you rest." said Naruto as he dropped his hand and tree became normal once again.

"Four adults? Could Yugao-sensei have released Kage Bunshin in order to distract us?" asked Kallen.

"It's possible. Right now we should head towards ravine and watch what is going on." said Junko and after tree nodded they left.

X-Ten Minutes Later-X

Yugao was waiting them few kilometers out of the opening they had been and kept her eyes and ears open, 'Twenty minutes and they still haven't come for me. That's good considering I can try thinking of a way of making this more difficult.' So Yugao sat there thinking and waiting for them to come and find her.

Suddenly she heard two persons approaching. 'Hmm they are better than I thought. They found me already and I hear only two so one must be separated for surprise attack. Let's take a look.'

Yugao went in hiding and watched incomers. For her surprise she found out they were actually two Chunins. Yugao decided to jump out. "What is going on here?"

"Yugao-san, we have an emergency!" said one of the Chunin with another Chunin right beside him.

"Oh yeah? What's the problem?" said Yugao.

"Some moments ago Chunin Mizuki was found from secret room that contains Forbidden Scroll. Jounin Arashi Namikaze was able to intercept him and prevent him from stealing scroll, but Mizuki got lucky and got away. He was last seen heading towards this area," said the Chunin, who looked at Yugao now getting anxious and turning to the forest behind her with a worried look about her.

"I have to find Mizuki before my team finds him first. Come with me, there's only one area here he could be heading for if he tries to get out of this area quickly," said Yugao, as she had been entrusted with the safety of the team, and didn't like it someone tried to undermine her duty.

"Are you sure?" said the Chunin, as he looked at former Anbu.

"Yes. Come on, we have some intruder to hunt down, and destroy." said Yugao, as she entered deeper into the forest and didn't look back.

'Junko, Kallen, Naruto… Please be safe all of you.'

X-A half hour later-X

Mizuki was not happy man. If that cursed Arashi Namikaze hadn't arrived he would be right now halfway out of Fire Country with Forbidden Scroll to present for Orochimaru-sama. Then he could've got power he deserved. If that Naruto hadn't taught Kyuubi-bitch of sister of his Kage Bunshin and pointed out his tries to sabotage her, he would've failed her and then make her steal scroll as a 'secret Genin exam.' When he gets back those Namikazes will die by his hand. Now Mizuki was trying to remove stain from special paint/smoke bomb that Arashi had hit him.

He tried to franticly pull green coloring off but they were stubbornly staying on. Before he could move Mizuki heard the bushes rustling and quickly covered the paint and made his body look like he had just finished a mission outside village while preparing in case those were his pursuers. Some people came out of the bushes but it wasn't who he thought it was.

"Mizuki-sensei," Junko asked confused and shocked when she, Kallen and Naruto got in front of him, "What are you doing here?"

Mizuki looked at them as he replied, "I got here after mission from outside. I have to take jobs as job of teacher is not most well-paid."

'This was perfect! Now he can kill boy he hates most along with outcast girl he had secretly pushed over all the time and give Uchiha-girl for Orochimaru-sama as a consolation for scroll. Now if only they would drop their guard little more…'

"I see. You're right and it's good to see you working hard." Junko said while sheathing her sword and Kallen relaxed, but Naruto eyed him.

"Me aside what are you doing here?" Mizuki asked trying to look confused while placing hands in his pockets.

"We are trying to find Yugao-sensei and pass her test." Naruto explained, "I guess she got in other way. Have you seen her?"

Junko and Kallen were sure he would say that he didn't since they knew she had to be in direction they came from north-east and if Mizuki came from mission outside village he had to come from south-west, "Well as my former students I could help you little. I saw her few moments ago heading at ravine. You might get her if you go now."

Junko and Kallen were thoroughly confused. Why Mizuki would lie for them? Seeing looks they gave Mizuki got worried as he had tried leading them out of village so he could strike from behind. "Is there something wrong?"

Naruto grunted as he muttered, "You lied to us," Naruto said, "Here came only one person and that is you. It means Yugao-sensei is in opposite direction. Plus I wonder why you smell like special paint/smoke bombs that Arashi-nii exclusively uses for distractions and tracking."

"It must've come from training yesterday with him." Mizuki said while seething inside. "I didn't notice and forgot to wash it up. Things got pretty hectic…"

"Arashi is so strong that he never trains with any Chunin aside Hana Inuzuka and she is only exception because she is his girlfriend." Junko suddenly added and Kallen started talking, "Yeah, Arashi is too strong for you. Besides now that is mentioned I can smell it and paint Arashi uses can't be sniffed by humans unless in great amounts as it's used so Inuzuka dogs can track scent for kilometers. You couldn't have not noticed great amounts of paint."

"Very smart of you, fresh graduates," Mizuki said darkly as talking about his strength hurt his pride. 'A bit too smart I think.' He took things in his pockets and decided to play dirty.

Naruto quickly dived to protect his teammates while shouting "Circle Shield" as Mizuki threw something. Mizuki had thrown kunais with paper-bombs and as explosion appeared Mizuki smiled. When dust cleared he was greeted with sight off a circular shield made of magic, which he estimated was the reason for the protection of the explosion. Naruto then let his hands down which dropped the barrier which took heavy blow from explosion and his teammates looked shocked at their sensei trying to kill them.

"So that is your true color Mizuki-teme." Naruto said seeing the man in general look pissed that his perfect plan was foiled.

"Why are you doing this sensei?" Junko demanded drawing her sword and Kallen got in battle stance.

"Well this village has always denied me of power I deserve and keeping alive two monsters in Namikaze-family, you and your sister. So I decided to take Forbidden Scroll to someone more generous, but that cursed Yondaime's bastard stopped me. I wanted to kill two of you and take Uchiha for my master, but I have to accept just killing three of you." Mizuki said with girls looking impassive at that since they never thought teacher who had taught them years could try to do this. Still they got in battle stance against seasoned Chunin with Naruto.

Kallen and Junko launched themselves at Mizuki Kallen pulling her kunais from their holsters and attacked him. Mizuki took his own kunais and effectively dodged each swing of their sharpened blades. He smirked as he knew they wouldn't beat him in taijutsu thanks to his ace that used secretly.

Kallen used her speed and appeared behind man grabbing him and proceeded to do a suplex slamming him on the back of his head. Mizuki's body however was surrounded by smoke and it was revealed to be a log. Naruto was surprised and thought, 'When did he use a substitution jutsu?' Naruto brought her hands together and shouted, "You won't get away from me!" Closing his eyes he focused in surrounding and found him shouting to his teammates, "He's over there at six o'clock!"

Mizuki was hiding behind the small tree and said, "So he can sense presences then. This makes this little fight even more difficult for me." Naruto dashed for the tree and punched straight through it. Mizuki jumped out of the way and watched the tree fall down. Junko followed up Naruto's attack by swinging her blade trying to strike him in the face, but blocked with kunais, but one kunai broke under pressure.

Kallen turned her back to Mizuki attempting to do a spinning back kick, but Mizuki knocked her kick away with ease. Junko appeared in Mizuki's blindside trying to stab him in his side. Mizuki heard her approach his blind side and he turned to face her kicking her in the chest and knocking her back. Naruto faced man swinging his kunais at Mizuki.

The veteran ninja moved his head out of the way avoiding the attack, but he felt a blood drip down his cheek so he leapt back. Bringing his hand up to his face he saw he had blood from a cut on his face.

Kallen went at Mizuki attempting to strike Mizuki in the body to do some damage and knock him off his game. Mizuki grabbed her right hand and bent her arm back and he kneed her in the stomach, then in a swift motion he flipped Kallen onto her back. About to stab down on Kallen's chest with all his might with his last kunai, but Naruto ran to Kallen grabbing her by her ankles with light blue tentacles coming from under bandages and pulling her away and avoiding the stab. Junko attacked Mizuki from the back slapping something on his back and then kicked him behind his knee making Mizuki kneel.

Not staying there Junko dashed at Naruto grabbing him and grabbing Kallen by her ankle and jumping away carrying them off. Mizuki heard a sparking noise and it was followed by an explosion. Kallen, Naruto, and Junko watched as the smoke was still lingering and Kallen told Naruto, "Can you find him?" Naruto brought his hands together again scanning for him. He found him saying, "He's a mile away. He used a substitution jutsu again."

Kallen and Junko were about to go after him, but Naruto stopped them, "Wait. If we keep this up then he might get away again. Besides even for Chunin he was strangely powerful and I sensed something off with his energies before throwing kunais. I guess he stabbed himself with some power giving drug container." That was bad news as fresh graduates fighting against Chunin was bad thing even before drugs. "Well then Naruto what do you suggest we do then?" Naruto ushered them to come closer and he whispered something to them about their plan of attack.

Meanwhile Mizuki had reached edge of ravine and he felt pain from taijutsu skills enhancing drug he used. It was better to escape before those three get reinforcements, but to his surprise Kallen darted out from above the trees and punched down onto Mizuki. Bringing both arms up Mizuki blocked the punch and even tossed girl away. Junko later appeared from the shadows swinging her weapon at Mizuki and Kallen also joined in on the attack both were swinging at Mizuki almost too quickly for the Chunin to block. The two kept backing him up further and further until he was in the open. Once he was Kallen tried a takedown on Mizuki, but the man dove his arms underneath Kallen's arms getting a double under hook on her. Junko helped her teammate by cutting Mizuki in his left shoulder making him let go of Kallen.

Junko grabbed Kallen and jumped away shouting, "NOW!"

Naruto appeared out of nowhere by masking his presence with magic, demonic arm fully out, eyes red and red lines falling from eyes. He had arrived there before Mizuki and he had placed some surprises. Naruto slammed his hands on the ground activating a series of explosive notes that were underground beneath Mizuki. Not being able to activate a substitution jutsu since his right shoulder was damaged and he couldn't do it quick enough he was caught in the explosion. Mizuki jumped out of the smoke with his clothes charred and once he was out he saw Junko on one knee, she dug her hand into the ground pulling out a chain. Naruto also reached into the dirt and pulled out the other end of the chain and with both of them pulling Mizuki realized he was caught in a loop and he was captured.

Junko activated her natural chakra sending lighting through the chain causing it to hit both Naruto's demonic arm and Mizuki paralyzing man, but not Naruto whose arm was immune for this level attack. Kallen saw her chance and tossed a kunai that flew past Mizuki, the kunai had an explosive tag by it and when it blew up it knocked him off of his feet since the explosion was fairly small.

Paralyzed, injured, and disorientated from these attacks the last thing he saw was Kallen run up to his left. She focused her chakra into her fist at an uneven level and hit Mizuki square in the joint of his jaw; Mizuki lost consciousness for a moment but later regained himself as drug helped him to regain himself. Before Kallen could punch him again Mizuki kicked Shi square in her stomach despite his injuries and he shifted his body out of the chain and jumped away.

Right now Mizuki had enough. Mizuki quickly pulled himself and pushed Naruto to the ravine before anything could be done.

"Naruto-kun!" Naruto's teammates cried out in shock.

"Girls," Naruto said though Mizuki's bind, "Don't worry about me, as I will survive!"

Then they reached bottom where was luckily deep river and they disappeared below surface. In water Naruto used wordless spell to surround his face with air bubble while Mizuki placed breathing mask used commonly by Rain and Mist village's ninjas. In struggle Mizuki had to let go of Naruto and they started floating facing each other.

"You're the baka, Naruto." Mizuki said with a feral grin, "You're just like me."

"Just like you?" Naruto asked wondering what the crazy fool in front of him was talking about and what delusions he actually has.

"Anything is possible with power like you are probably taking from Namikazes," Mizuki stated. "You didn't live in Konoha so you could've only come to become stronger under Yondaime Hokage. I know that you only refused learning from us because you are trained by Namikazes. That magic was only Namikaze's secret jutsus and your arm is prove that your family is taken over by Kyuubi. There's no way that you or Akane, that Monster Fox, won't be tempted to use powers."

"What a baka." Naruto said as he relaxed and started releasing black magic particles which surrounded him like flame. "I wasn't going to show this until much later, but you're so delusional that I shall show you my real form. You haven't seen real demon… until now. Prepare yourself."

Mizuki looked as Naruto started changing and gasped in shock what soon floated before him. Mizuki started swim away, but black slime like tentacles wrapped around his ankle. Now he knew what deep sea divers feel like when attacked by giant squid kilometers under water. Now he was sure that he was seeing real demon.

Above ravine Junko and Kallen were looking down with worry in their eyes and they weren't only ones. Yugao had arrived with two Chunins and after being debriefed by girls what had happened they were preparing to follow boy and traitor in ravine. Suddenly out of ravine plunged two light blue slime-like tentacles which attached in edge and pulled by tentacles was Naruto who carried Mizuki. Naruto was okay, but Mizuki had bruises, cuts, wounds and broken bones, which some poked out of body, all over him while Mizuki himself was unconscious from pain.

After Naruto was pulled out he started explaining how Mizuki had started breaking down from serious after effects of drug he took, but still wanted fight. Naruto had to make him submit and Mizuki's struggles smashed him against rocks hurting more himself than Naruto. Two Chunins started taking Mizuki at hospital, since he was in critical condition.

"Well, by my calculations there are still some minutes before timer stops so let's get back in battle. I don't know about girls, but I want to get through this test." said Naruto with demonic arm out, eyes red and red lines under eyes.

Naruto, Kallen, and Junko regrouped ready to attack again, but Yugao shouted, "Enough!" All three froze and thought that this was trick at the same time. Yugao cracked a grin and said, "You all passed the test. You are now Genins."

Junko sheathed her weapon asking, "What do you mean?" Yugao explained, "Although there were some circumstances you captured dangerous, drug-powered traitor Chunin while using teamwork and your brains. I say you've deserved this after putting your life on line."

Naruto, Kallen and Junko smiled up saying, "YES! We are now Genins ready to face the world." Yugao told his team, "Okay listen. I have to go to report about this for Hokage, arrange payments for you doing B-rank mission and get some training materials. The training will take place at 10 o'clock and we will meet back here, so I'll explain what will happen when we meet back here. Understood?" All three saluted him and Yugao walked off.

Junko turned on her heel facing her teammates, "You know you two aren't so bad at all." Kallen replied, "Yes. Although we almost lost our lives." It was rare for Naruto to give out complements but he assumed that it was rare for these two to give out complements as well and he had to admit that Kallen fought nicely and Junko can back up what she says two fold. Naruto sighed, "I think that if we cooperate more and get to know each other a bit more we'll definitely rise in the ranks."

Both of his teammates nodded and Junko said they should eat together as a team to get their strength back up, Naruto requested they go to Ichiraku. Kallen and Junko heard of the small ramen bar and they couldn't think of anywhere else to eat and so they ventured off to the ramen bar to eat.

X-Ichiraku Ramen Bar-X

Sitting at the stools was Hinata, Shino, and Kiba. The three got done with their little team battle and Kurenai had released them to get something to eat and then come back for training, Kiba was in the mood for some ramen and suggested they go there. As the three ninjas ate and Kiba gave his dog Akamaru some treats to snack on he was talking the loudest about what they could do to better themselves as a team.

Akamaru was laying on the floor when a familiar scent hit his nose and he walked out of the ramen bar and over to Naruto and his team. Walking inside Team 8 saw Naruto and his team. Kiba shouted out, "Hey Junko!" Naruto greeted Kiba with his usual unemotional hello and Junko waved with small smile. Shino and Hinata greeted Naruto and girls as well. Naruto took the empty seat right next to Hinata and his team took their seat to his left. Teuchi smiled after seeing Naruto saying, "Why if it isn't little Naruto. You want the usual?"

Naruto nodded. Teuchi looked to his teammates and asked, "What can I get you two?" Junko gave her order, "I'd like some… hmmm how about some chicken flavored ramen." Teuchi nodded and looked to the redhead girl. Kallen asked, "Can I have just regular beef ramen?"

In the meantime Naruto was talking silently with Hinata, "So Hinata-Chan how did your first team get together go?" Hinata had a very light blush gracing her cheeks, but she answered, "It went great Naruto-kun. At least better than with Akane's team since they had taken another test when they failed to co-operate in first. How did yours go?"

"It went nicely. Our sensei gave us a few hours off to eat so we have to meet her again at ten in order to train." said Naruto. Junko saw Naruto and Hinata's interaction with each other and let a small frown appear on her lips along with Kallen who also couldn't help, but get little jealous. They could reign over it still.

Junko, Kallen, Naruto and Hinata continued talking for a while. For Naruto there were a few people who he could talk to easily and Hinata was one of those people and he was taught by his mother to take value in everything you like or even love. Naruto was no fool and from what he understood he could clearly tell that Junko, Hinata and Kallen like him, but he has no way of knowing how to politely return those feelings since he basically shuts his emotions off to almost everyone, he does however let it slip and doesn't know how to not really be like how his friends are.

Hinata liked spending time with Naruto very much, she liked spending time with the rest of her other male friends, but Naruto was different from the rest of them. Maybe it was because like a few of her female friends she stands out and Naruto stands out from all his male friends and she was the only one he could speak with on a certain level and he enjoyed her company out of everyone else.

The two teams practically ate in silence except when Kiba asked Naruto a question or two or when girls wanted to strike up a conversation with Naruto.

Sometime went by and Kallen told her team that she was going back to the training ground to rest. Junko had gone to her apartment to get something to help with their assignment. Naruto remained for a moment longer talking with his friends, but then he two eventually left too.

X-Hokage's office-X

All the Jounin senseis were present. It was now time to find out who had past and who had failed.

"Team 1 failed."

"Team 2 failed, they fought amongst each other all the time and I had to even break them up when two boys ganged up against girl."

"Team 3 failed."

"Team 4 didn't even come in time and they forgot their ninja equipment."

"Team 5 passed with flying colors thanks to Sora." Kuurei said proudly. All other Jounin knew that team would've failed if Sora hadn't been in team and it's not because his skills.

"Team 6 passed with compliments. They knew it was about teamwork right as it started and Naruto was able to locate all persons in area with his magic. They found Mizuki, but they were too smart to fall in his lies and were able to work together even as he powered up his taijutsu with drugs. When Mizuki escaped they created plan and almost captured him. When Mizuki and Naruto fell in ravine after effects of drug kicked in and Naruto was able to capture him. Mizuki is in intensive care and it will take some months before he can talk." Yugao reported.

"Team 7 passed, but only second test as Sasuke failed to work with Akane and Sakura. I think I can break Sakura from Sasuke –obsession soon, but Akane is quite naive as she charged recklessly falling almost in every trick and Sasuke still needs to learn about teamwork." Kakashi sighed.

"Team 8 passed barely. I need to get rid of Hinata's shyness, although she has been working with it with her friends, and Kiba's arrogance," Kurenai admitted.

"Team 10 passed, but they need work on fixing Ino's bossy attitude and the boys' lazy attitude," Asuma spoke next.

"Team 11 failed."

"Please, don't make mention Team 12." said Jounin with shudder.

"Team 13 had to stop test, when girl of team insisted going in hospital when her nail broke."

Minato cleared his throat to give a dictation. "Alright, you have one week until I start passing missions out to get them up to snuff. Right now, Team 6 will only have to do three weeks of D-rank missions. Team 5, 8 and 10 will do a month or a month and a half of D-rank missions. Lastly, Team 7 will have to wait two months. Everyone dismissed."

All the Jounin began to leave the room while the Hokage created Kage Bunshin to do paper works and he himself relaxed while reading Jiraiya's books.

X-In some hideout-X

Far away in one of Orochimaru's bases Juugo was suffering from his curse. He gripped his hair trying to fight the curse from taking over. Kimimaro was three days late from his mission; he had no one to help him control his curse.

Juugo cried out in pain. "HELP ME!"

Darkness filled the entire room and Juugo gasped. When the darkness drifted away two persons stood in the room with Juugo. Juugo was shocked as he stared at the man with red hair and purple-haired young woman. Man's body was giving off warmth of fire-based power, while woman's was little darker. "So you're the one who is giving off the dark aura."

"Have you come here to kill me?" Juugo asked his body shaking.

"Kill you why would I kill you?" Man asked and Juugo smirked as his curse finally took over him.

"Because I'm a monster." Juugo rushed forward his arm transformed. Man didn't dodge instead he stopped Juugo's attack with big fluffy tail which appeared behind him. Juugo's eyes widened.

"So are we." Woman said as man's eyes turned purple. Woman threw bottle of purple liquid in Juugo's feet and it released its contents as purple smoke. Man knocked Juugo back onto his rear. Juugo gasped as he felt his curse get pushed back, and his body reverted to normal. Liquid continued to release smoke which robbed Juugo of his strength.

Juugo groaned as his body began to refuse to move. "What is this?" Juugo groaned. Two persons moved over to him.

"I can sense your nature. It's stained by sorrow, but it's very pure. With our protégé and future master you could be yourself and live normal life." Woman said between Juugo's spread legs. She caressed Juugo's cheek and he blushed. A dark voice entered Juugo's head.

'No one will ever love you, you will always hurt them.' Juugo couldn't deny the words in his head.

"No, how can you touch me I'm a monster." Woman and man sighed. They could tell someone had been messing with his head.

'It's time to help the poor guy.' Woman took fine looking purple-classed bottle with black liquid inside it and placed it in Juugo's lips. Juugo gasped, but did not try to push her away.

"Who ever told you you're a monster is a fool." Man ran his fingers through Juugo's hair. "People are afraid of power, and if it's not used to help them they treat you like a monster."

Juugo could see understanding in those two's eyes and it made him feel good. It was the same understanding he saw in Kimimaro's eyes. "Please help me you can contain me please. Become a cage so I can be free."

Man shook his head and sat down his body up close to Juugo's. "We won't give you a cage, but we can give a home for you where to be yourself." Juugo looked at them.

"A home that no matter what you do you can always turn to." Young woman continued. Woman's words made his heart beat faster. But that dark voice in his head made his happiness fade.

"You're lying you will hate me and throw me away."

"If you truly believe that become our comrade, then you're our future master's forever. You will share our residence and always have a home." Man said.

Juugo groaned. The dark voice continued to speak, but it was drowned under the hope.

Man kept his eyes focused on Juugo. "I've never done anything like this."

Juugo whispered and it made them smirk. "We know, but don't worry we will take good care of you." Juugo nodded.

Juugo's eyes stared in wonder. "What you want me do?"

"You have to accept the blood of darkness you drank and you will become like us." Juugo smiled. "I accept."

Right after he said that he could hear voice in his head vanish and change in something more pleasant, friendlier and powerful. When energy in him changed and his body with it he knew he had lost his humanity for rest of his life. But he didn't regret it for a second.

"Now share your name." Man said after Juugo took his new form. "Juugo, my name is Juugo."

"Now Juugo we have to go to prepare our sleeping quarters. Tomorrow we shall leave and we have to prepare for awakening of our master." said persons as they walked towards the door.

"Wait!" Juugo yelped. They narrowed their eyes. "I have a friend Kimimaro he has been someone I trust I want him to come with us."

Woman smiled. "Well if he agrees I don't mind, but we cannot force him." Juugo looked sad. Juugo now knew that Orochimaru was using him which meant Kimimaro was being used too.

"Please he is being blinded; I know he will be happier with you." Woman patted his head. "We will try and we'll leave for him tomorrow, but now get some rest."

Juugo began feeling new powers of his new body when he remembered something. "Excuse me, but you haven't told your names yet and what are you."

Persons smiled as they told their names. "I'm Shan and my companion is Eto Fujiko." said a man. "We are youkais or ayakashis or as what humans call us demons or monsters."

Author notes:

My loyal fans! There is no longer need for waiting as I have now updated. I hope you like this chapter. For your information there will be no Sakura-bashing as I've decided pair her with certain person. I am fan of Sakura-and-this-person pairing aside yuri and I decided to use it in this pairing. It's not Sasuke (She will grow out of it although she still will chase her as in manga, but not because she loves him.) and I'm not going to tell it who she is paired with except for person who guesses correctly. Aside some changes characters will be same kind as in manga and anime and Akane becomes canon-Naruto although little smarter.

Next is team 6's first mission and no, it's not mission in snow or wave. Although there will be wave-arc with team 7. I shall update my Code Geass story next. After that… Well it depends how I feel.

You can make your own varieties from my stories if you tell what you take, for what and what kind of stories those are.

Look at my profile and other stories and tell if there is some way to make my stories better so that more people would read them.

Please read and review. I shall answer in your questions.
