Chapter One: Genin Teams Form
Shirayuki Nara, or Shira as everyone calls her, walked into the classroom with her twin brother Shikamaru by her side. On her left arm, just like her twin, was her forehead protector was tied on. Upon spotting Naruto, both Naras were confused as they had heard that Naruto was the only one of their class to not graduate.
"What are you doing here Naruto? This is for those who graduated." Shikamaru stated as he and Shira both walked over to him.
"Oh yeah! You see this? Open your eyes Shikamaru, it's a regulation headband." Naruto stated while Shira shook her head before glancing over to see Sasuke Uchiha sitting next to Naruto, his hands folded in front of his face. "We're going to be training together now, how do you like that?"
"Hn." Shikamaru grunted as he frowned slightly and placed a hand on his hip. Shira just shook her head at Naruto as she listened to him rant and sighed softly. A loud sound, sounding similar to that of a stampede, came from the hallway as the door slammed open to reveal Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka.
"Oh great… here they go." Shira muttered as she and Shikamaru went and sat in the desks behind Naruto and Sasuke. Shira put her head down on her desk as she listened to Sakura and Ino argue over who was first into the room. Sakura then walked down to the desk where Naruto was sitting and shoved Naruto out of the way.
"Move it Naruto!" Sakura growled before blushing slightly and taking on a sweet voice. "Good Morning Sasuke, mind if I sit next to you?" She asked as Sasuke looked over at her.
"Back off Forehead, I'm sitting next to Sasuke." Ino stated as she grabbed Sakura's arm. Soon all the girls besides Shira started arguing over who was sitting next to Sasuke. Shira shook her head, not understanding why they all fought over the Uchiha boy.
Clueless. Sasuke thought as he turned his head back to the front of the classroom with his eyes closed. Shira, taking pity on the boy got up and jumped over her desk to sit next to Sasuke. Sasuke opened his eyes and glanced her out of the corner of his eye before smirking slightly. Shira smirked back before Sasuke closed his eyes again. Shira closed her eyes and leaned back against the desk behind her when she heard a tap of shoes hitting the desk. "Hm?" Sasuke hummed as he opened his eyes only to find Naruto glaring at him as well. Shira opened her eyes and cocked an eyebrow at Naruto while the two boys glared at each other.
"Naruto! Hey, stop glaring at Sasuke!" Sakura yelled at him, causing the blonde to look over at her with a sad look, masked by an annoyed one.
Why are they so obsessed over him? Sasuke, Sasuke. What's the big deal with this guy? The only girl not obsessed is Shira. Naruto thought as he looked back at Sasuke and leaned in some. Shira swore she saw a line of annoyance visibly pass between the two as she watched bored, but curious at the same time. At that moment a kid behind Naruto accidently hit Naruto causing him to fall forward and lock lips with Sasuke. Shira's eyes widened before she started laughing her ass off.
"Cha! I was supposed to be Sasuke's first kiss! Naruto will pay for this!" Inner Sakura said while Naruto and Sasuke broke apart and held their throats while gagging. Shira continued to laugh from where she was sitting knowing that she would get it later.
"I'll get you Naruto." Sasuke said in between gagging. Naruto suddenly stopped when he sensed most of the female students glaring at him.
"You're finished." Sakura stated before being beaten up.
"As usual, Naruto is in some kind of trouble." Hiruzen Satorabi stated to the Jonin standing in front of him as he gazed into a crystal ball. The Jonin all just had blank looks on their faces.
"As of today you are all ninjas. To get here you faced difficult trials and hardships." Iruka-sensei stated as he faced all of the students. "Now you are only Genin, first level ninjas. All Genin will be grouped into a three man squad, one four man since there is an odd number of graduates. Each squad will have a Jonin instructor."
"A three-man squad? Well somebody is going to have to be on Sasuke's squad." Ino stated as she smirked at Sakura who was sitting next to Shira since the Nara girl refused to move and even glared at Sakura until the pink-haired girl gave up.
"We wanted each squad to be balanced so we placed people based on scores and skills." Iruka further explained as he held up a piece of paper. "I will now read the squads off. Team one…" Iruka continued to list off people, girls upset that they didn't get to be with Sasuke. "And for Team Seven, this is the four person squad, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and Shirayuki Nara. Team Eight is Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuga, and Shino Aburame. Team Ten is Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Choji Akimichi." Iruka stated as Ino held her head in complaint.
"No not food boy!" Ino whined while Shikamaru smirked and teased the blonde about not being on his team. While Shikamaru was disappointed that his twin sister was on a different team, he would be worrying about her if she left the village at all for missions, he was also happy that she had a chance to shine as herself and not just one of the Nara twins.
"That's everyone. After lunch you will meet your Jonin instructors. So until then, class is dismissed." Iruka stated before people started to get up out of their seats and teammates started to meet up.
"Oi, Imouto! You eating with your team?" Shikamaru asked his twin as she stood up next to Sasuke.
"Yeah, or at least try to. You know Sasuke and Naruto don't get along and Sakura would rather spend time with just Sasuke than me or Naruto." Shira stated as Sasuke moved out of the way so Shira could leave as well without having to fight Sakura or Naruto. Reaching over with a hand, Sasuke pulled on some of Shira's long brown hair gently. Shira glanced back at him and stuck her tongue out before facing Shikamaru again. "If nothing else I'll come find you."
"Man what a drag. Alright." Shikamaru waved to Shira before he left with Choji and Ino, Shira waving to Choji before he left which he returned. Sasuke left the room soon after so he didn't get bothered by Sakura.
"Sasuke, where are you?" Sakura called out as she looked around outside of the academy. "Why did he have to go running off so fast. Since we are on the same team and all I thought we could have lunch together." Sakura muttered as she stared down at the ground.
"Hey Sakura!" Naruto called out to the pinkette as Shira walked with him. The young Nara asked Naruto if he wanted to eat lunch together to get to know each other better. The blonde quickly agreed and suggested adding Sakura, to which Shira reluctantly agreed to. Sakura turned to face the two of them. "Since we're on the same team and all, I was thinking we could have lunch together with Shira."
"Why would I eat lunch with you or her?" Sakura demanded as she didn't even look Shira's way. Shira just rolled her eyes and walked off to go see if she could find Sasuke. Having no luck Shira ended up eating in a tree above where Sakura was sitting on a bench, not wanting to bother her twin and his new team even though they have been friends with Ino and Choji since they first started the academy. Shira looked down to notice Sasuke leaning up against the tree.
Hn. Nice job Naruto, too bad I know Sasuke better than anyone. Shira thought as she watched the little scene between Naruto and Sakura. Soon Naruto ran off holding his stomach and Sakura sat back down on the bench. Soon the real Sasuke appeared walking by Sakura.
"Ah Sasuke your back! Don't be so shy you bad boy." Sakura said as she looked at him. Shira rolled her eyes as she jumped down from the tree and started walking with Sasuke. "Are you ready now? I mean mentally prepared, cause I know I am. I mean I'm raring to go." Sasuke kept walking past her and glanced at Shira before looking at Sakura.
"Where's Naruto?" Sasuke asked as he stopped past her. Sakura sighed before scolding him about changing the subject and belittling Naruto and how he had no parents, offending Sasuke in the process. Soon Sasuke walked off while Shira stayed where she was.
"Way to go and offend him and basically insult him Sakura." Shira said as the pinkette glared at her.
"Shut up Shira, what do you know." Sakura sneered while Shira shook her head.
"A whole lot more than you." The brunette stated as she started walking again to go back to the classroom. Sasuke was waiting for Shira at the entrance to the hallway when she appeared. "Hey."
"Hey. You know where Naruto is?" He asked as he started walking down the hall with Shira next to him.
"No. When I witnessed him act like you he and Sakura were about to kiss when he suddenly held his stomach and started running away. He may be in the bathroom." Shira stated as the two of them suddenly ran into Naruto not far from a restroom.
"Shira, you never cease to amaze me." Sasuke stated as Naruto looked shocked to see Sasuke free.
"Sasuke what are you doing here?!" Naruto demanded as he skidded to a stop in front of the two. "How in the hell did you get lose?"
"I used the escape jutsu. No sweat since it's an easy technique." Sasuke said with a smirk on his face as he looked at Nartuo. "Why did you do that? Why did you transform into me?"
"I thought it would be fun to use my moves on you so I did." Naruto stated as he jumped back and made a hand sign before there was a poof of smoke and several Narutos were around him. They all jumped into the air and launched themselves at Naruto.
"Shira, stay back." Sasuke ordered as he gently pushed her out of the way. "Ah, the same technique again?!" Sasuke groaned as he looked up at the clones and Naruto.
"This time you will see what I can really do." One Naruto stated as they all looked at Sasuke, ignoring Shira completely. "You're going down for the count." Another Naruto stated as Shira watched, analyzing which one could be the real Naruto. "Then you'll have to admit that I'm the best! Get ready Sasuke!" A loud groaning sound came from Naruto's stomach stopping all the Narutos before they all ran to the small bathroom.
"What a loser." Sasuke stated as he and Shira started walking in the opposite direction. "Were you able to find the actual one?"
"No… I didn't have enough time to completely analyze all of them." Shira admitted as she looked at Sasuke. Sasuke nodded his head before kneeling down infront of her. "What?"
"Get on. I'll carry you back to the classroom." Sasuke stated simply as he waited for Shira to climb on. Shira giggled lightly as she climbed onto Sasuke's back.
"We haven't done this in years." She stated as Sasuke stood up and started walking back to the classroom. Sasuke grunted in response but nodded his head as well.
