After a bit of sneaking around and theft of important legal documents Naruto knew exactly who was his jounin sensei and who was on his team. Being on a team with Sasuke and Sakura really sucked but being on a team with Hatake Kakashi the man who was always three hours late was perfect. This allowed Naruto to sleep in after a long night stealing or setting plans in motion. Yes he wasn't particularly fond of the people on his team but he could and would make it work.

Instead of walking into the academy classrooms he decided to show up three hours late and wait outside for Kakashi to show up.

"Aren't you supposed to be inside?" the ninja asked lazily.

Naruto smirked at the one eyes ninja with gravity defying grey hair "aren't you supposed to be on time?"

"Well you see there was this old lady who had a resemblance to Orochimaru so I had to follow her and make sure she wasn't actually the Snake sennin" the jounin explained.

"you mean an old lady was mistaken to be a male who is very powerful, very scary and looks nothing like an old lady?" Naruto asked.

"Yup" Kakashi said with one of his famous eye smiles.

Naruto shook his head at the absurdity of it "I have a proposition for you" he announced.

Kakashi looked at him looking almost bored but his body gave away his interest.

"I do not like those two, they do not like me. Heck Sasuke doesn't like anyone and all Sakura cares about is being the future Mrs Sasuke so here is what I want." Naruto said "I want the right to use all of our teams training time to learn what I want. I will remain in the area but I will learn what I want and in return I will do my best not to kill them."

Kakashi stared at him for a while deciding the pros and cons of such a situation "what's to stop you falling behind the others?"

"If I ever prove to be the weakest link you can just force me to learn whatever you want deal?" Naruto asked trying to hide his smirk.

Kakashi could see the smirk, Naruto had something planned but the jounin didn't know what. Oh well it would be interesting to see Naruto fail to outwit his sensei "deal" Kakashi announced.

Naruto stuck out his hand "shake on it?"

Kakashi check Naruto's hand and not seeing anything in it shook "you better live up to your end of the deal" he said as the handshake finished.

Naruto smirked wide Kakashi didn't know it but Naruto had exactly what he wanted. "I will" he promised.

With that the two walked into the Academy classroom together "Naruto-baka you're late" Sakura yelled "how did you graduate anyway? You failed every single test."

"I'm awesome that way and as to why we are late there was this old lady who looked like Orochimaru" Naruto grinned.

"Stop lying you stupid baka" Sakura screamed once more trying to punch him.

Naruto casually stepped back as Kakashi piped up "actually there was. Turns out she just needed some sun."

Sakura stopped and stared at him realising he was her new sensei. "Hello Kakashi-sensei I'm Haruno Sakura nice to meet you" she said politely giving a small bow.

Everyone sweat-dropped at Sakura's complete one eighty. "Okaaaayyy" Kakashi said slowly "normally we would go outside and introduce ourselves but since no one else is here we will just use this room. Everyone grab a chair and get in a circle.

The three genin did with Sakura roughly shoving Naruto out of the way so she could sit beside Sasuke. Once they were all in position Kakashi let out a loud yawn "ok why not introduce yourselves, likes, dislikes, hobbies, etcetera."

"Why don't you go first sensei so we know what you mean?" Sakura asked sweetly.

"You do realise he told us exactly what he meant right?" Naruto asked "I mean how else can you interpret 'introduce yourselves'?"

Sakura punched him "shut up Naruto-baka" she yelled angrily.

Kakashi sighed but decided to let it go "you already know my name, I have no particular likes or dislikes, dreams well I've never really thought about it and hobbies... Pink and violent you're up" he eye smiled.

Sakura punched Naruto again just as he got back into his seat "look what you did Baka now he thinks I'm violent because of you."

"You could just not hit me you know" Naruto muttered dryly as he palmed her wallet without anyone noticing.

Sakura punched him again. "My name is Haruno Sakura, I like" here she looked at Sasuke and squealed "my hobbies are "again she looked at Sasuke and squealed "and my dream is "here she did it again."

Kakashi felt like banging his head against a wall he did not need to deal with a stalker "and dislikes?"

"Naruto-baka" she said instantly.

Naruto just in his seat growled out "i'm not too fond of you either you know."

"Don't be so rude Naruto-baka" Sakura screamed once more punching him in the head.

Naruto sighed this time not bothering to get up, he was going to enjoy spending Sakura's money.

"Okay pale and broody you're up" Kakashi announced.

Sasuke 'tched' but did as he was told "Uchiha Sasuke" he announced self importantly/ "I like training, dislike idiots and fan-girls, I don't have a dream more of an ambition and that is to kill a certain man."

"Wow depressing" Kakashi eye smiled "Blondy your turn unless you are dead down there."

Naruto sighed "I'm alive might have a concussion though" he muttered before once more sitting on his seat. "Uzumaki Naruto "I like ramen and challenges to my skills. My hobbies include honing my skills and pranking the village. I dislike violent fan-girls, stuck up idiots and those who can't take a joke."

Kakashi was surprised when Sasuke and Sakura didn't react apparently they didn't know Naruto meant them. He decided to ignore it chances were his team would fail the test tomorrow anyway. "Well good news" he eye-smiled "tomorrow we have a test at training ground seven. This is a simple test where if you fail you'll be sent back to the academy show up at eight am. Bye" with that Kakashi disappeared.

Sasuke and Sakura stared at where he was in shock "what does me mean we can be sen back. We graduated" Sakura shrieked. Sasuke just 'tched'.

"Well as much fun as this was I have places to be see ya" Naruto grinned before he left a well. The young thief had business to do after all.

…

At training ground fourteen a disturbing sight was found. A man in green spandex and a boy in green spandex were embracing in front of a beach while two teens looked on I horror.

"Hey Tenten" Naruto yelled out while trying his best not to stare at the...youthful scene.

"Oh thank god" Tenten muttered before yelling out "sensei I need to talk to Naruto I'll be back in a few minutes." Without even waiting for an answer Tenten grabbed Naruto and dragged him out of there.

"Thank you thank you" she muttered "that was the sixth time today."

Naruto shuddered "I still don't know why they aren't in the T&I department anyone would break after seeing that."

Tenten smiled wistfully "if only that were true."

Naruto understood where she was coming from, a weapons specialist like Tenten didn't receive much useful training from a man who specialised completely in taijutsu. Then there was his personality, Gai was a great man but not sensei material.

"I managed to finish the gloves for you" Tenten said after a while pulling a pair of black and orange gloves out of her hip pouch. "The storage seal on the palms should work fine you only need to add a bit of your blood to lock them to you and only you.

Naruto took the gloves and tried them on with a grin "thanks how much do I owe you?"

It was a simple enough seal though adding it to the gloves and making sure it was hidden was a bit difficult" Tenten announced "ten thousand ryo should do it."

Naruto grinned and pulled out Sakura's wallet "hmm she has twelve thousand in here must have been saving up" he grinned handing Tenten her money.

Tenten sighed taking the money "if Iwe weren't friends I would have had you arrested by now."

"My new teammate punched me more than five times in ten minutes she's lucky this is all I did to her."

"Wow that's...bad" Tenten said in surprise "so who is your new team then?"

"Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura and Hatake Kakashi" Naruto announced with a grimace "if it wasn't for the fact that Kakashi is always late, lazy and an inexperienced teacher I would request a team transfer."

"And that stops you why?" Tenten asked with a raised eye.

Naruto smirked "it stops me because he will be child's play to get around. If I had a sensei who actually cared then I couldn't practice my hobbies."

Tenten rolled her eyes "one of these days you will be caught."

"Maybe but not for a long long time" Naruto grinned "now if you'll excuse me I have to go and get a few tools. I have a plan for my sensei and need to be prepared."

"Just try not to kill him" Tenten pleaded.

"Relax I'll only break his spirit a little bit." On the other side of Konoha Kakashi instinctively shuddered in fear.

…

Naruto appeared at training ground seven ten minutes before eleven "you're late" Sakura yelled.

Naruto shrugged "not like it matters as long as I show up before Kakashi and Kakashi is always three hours late."

"How would a dobe like you know that" Sasuke said contemptuously.

"I heard who our sensei was and researched him" Naruto said simply.

Sasuke snorted "bet you didn't find out anything important dobe."

"Yeah Naruto-baka" Sakura piped up.

Naruto shrugged "think what you want I'm not the one who was waiting here for three hours though."

The two glared at Naruto for that but they couldn't deny that they had been waiting.

After a few minutes Kakashi showed up "sorry I'm late I met a time traveling cat on the way here and he brought me three hours into the future" he announced with an eye-smile.

"YOU LIAR" Sakura screeched.

Kakashi ignored her "now as to the test it's simple as you can see I have two bells tied to my waist you are to try and collect them before twelve anyone who gets a bell will pass, the person who doesn't will be sent back to the academy any questions?"

"Yeah, are we allowed to use any method we chose to get a bell?" Naruto asked.

Kakashi nodded "yes come at me with the intent to kill. Begin."

Sakura and Sasuke instantly hid in the nearby bushes. Naruto used the storage seal on his gloves to make a certain orange book appear in his hands before he started reading it.

"Aren't you going to at least try?" Kakashi asked suspiciously.

Naruto smirked "why would I do that? You are going to give me both bells yourself."
"Oh and why is that?" Kakashi asked tensing.

Naruto's smirk widened as he began to read aloud from the book "Dear Kakashi thank you for sending those photo's of Yoshino, Anko and Kurenai. That and your story anout the time that they got drunk together inspired me to write this. Signed the Super pervert Jiraiya." Naruto smirked at te suddenly pale jounin "I wonder how they will react when they find out about this."

Kakashi gulped nervously "what's to stop me just taking the book off of you and denying anything you say?" he asked.

"I have a backup plan" Naruto explained "it involves matches and the rest of your stolen collection now hand over the bells."

Kakashi sighed he didn't know how but he had been out played by a genin, he would never live it down. "Fine" he sighed throwing Naruto the two bells.

Naruto caught the bells easily and using his gloves stored them away, to the jounin it looked as if they had just disappeared.

"Now my books" Kakashi ordered.

Naruto threw him the one book "That's all, I never took the rest of your books, no point" Naruto grinned.

Kakashi cursed, yes he was never going to live this down. "what are you going to do now?"

"I'm gonna go get an early lunch" Naruto announced "let me know if you end up passing those two or not."
Kakashi nodded before saying "if you break into my apartment one more time I'll force you to train with Gai for a week." Naruto just grinned as he walked off.
