All of the genin graduates arrive at the Academy for their orientation. Sakura spots Sasuke sitting down and runs over to him, knocking down Naruto in the process, and asks if she could sit next to him.

Seeing this from a third person view, Sakura couldn't help the blush that coated her face. She looked so, she wasn't even sure what word to use. Even with 'Inner Sakura' chanting that it was all okay and she loved Sasuke-Kun.

Ino herself couldn't help but cringed as well. Because she herself was sure she looked the same when she went after Sasuke.

However, Ino comes over and states that she should be the one to sit next to Sasuke before many of the other girls do the same thing.

"Ah the curse of fan girls" Minato said with a sigh, shaking his head as if trying to forget some painful memory.

"Man were those fun sights" Kushina snickered from her own position. She was remembering all the fan girls that flocked the younger Minato back in his academy days. And the face the younger boy would make.

Upset over the attention Sasuke is getting from the girls, Naruto gets on top of the desk and glares at Sasuke, with the latter returning the favor. Suddenly, Tobio accidentally bumps into Naruto, causing him to fall forward and kiss Sasuke, much to the girls' dismay. As a result, Naruto gets pummeled by them.

"HOW DARE YOUR SON DEFILE THE PURITY OF MY BOY?!" Fugaku and Kushina shouted out in unison, glaring daggers at one another, sparks flying between them while the rest of the room burst into laughter.

Naruto and Sasuke were the obvious exception. Both of them had a scowl and a blush on their faces. Whether it was from the memory or from their respective parent's arguing, no one was entirely sure. Maybe it was a combination of both.

After Iruka arrives, he explains the next step that the genin will take, explaining that they will be in a team of three led by a jōnin. He then announces that Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke will be Team 7; Hinata, Kiba and Shino will be Team 8; and Ino, Shikamaru and Chōji will be Team 10. Naruto abruptly asks Iruka why he had to be on a team with Sasuke before being told that he had the worst scores of all the graduates, while Sasuke had the best, so in turn, they were put together to create a balanced group.

"I can't believe you actually asked that" Obito snickered to a fiercely blushing blonde Uzumaki.

"If memory serves me right" the older Kakashi drawled, the lone visible eyes glinting humorously. "You asked the same thing"

Obito for his part was now sporting the same look that Naruto was sporting mere moments ago. "I liked your quiet and asshole side better" the young Uchiha muttered, looking away from the masked shinobi.

"I guess this is where it's the future for us" Shikamatu muttered, summing up the thoughts of everyone from the future timeline.

During lunchtime, Sakura tries to find to Sasuke to ask him to have lunch with her to no avail. She then runs into Naruto who asks her to have lunch with him, but she coldly dismisses him.

"You could have been a little nicer" Rin muttered, looking at the Pinkette who just scowled.

"He's an idioot" said girl muttered. But even she agreed that she could have been nicer.

Angered yet again, Naruto ambushes Sasuke through an open window. The ending results shows Sasuke standing over a gagged and bound Naruto

Sasuke let out a smirk following it with his signature "Hn" while Sakura and Ino cheered on. Albeit a little gentler than normal.

but is later revealed that Sasuke only defeated a substitution before the real Naruto overpowers him with the Shadow Clone Technique.

The smirk fell from Sasuke's face as Naruto let out a cheer. "Take that Teme!" Naruto grinned, giving his rival a superior look.

But the others from the future though were clearly impressed that the dead last had taken down the student of the year. And an Uchiha at that too.

"Sasuke-Kun probably underestimated him and let his guard down" Sakura defended.

"Even then to take him down relative ease. The kid's got skills" Asuma mused, watching the blonde with a thoughtful look. Sasuke too looked at Naruto. But his eyes only showed anger and hands were clenched into fists.

Naruto then transforms into Sasuke and heads out to find Sakura. When he finds her, he asks her what she thought of Naruto. She replies by saying that he was annoying. Sakura then leans in to kiss Sasuke, but as they are about to kiss, Sasuke is forced to go to the bathroom.

"Yak!" Naruto grimaced. The bad milk had ruined his chances. He pushed away the comment Sakura made on him like it was nothing. Which compared to what other names he has been called, was not that bad.

When the real Sasuke manages to escape, he runs into Sakura and asks if she's seen Naruto. Brushing off what he asked, she proceeds to mock him, believing that he's so annoying because he had no parents to teach him how to behave and that he was all alone.

"That was a low move forehead" Ino muttered, looking at her love rival with a very disappointed look on her face.

"I'm not wrong though" Sakura threw back, her face looking quite determined at her own statement.

"Don't comment on what you have no idea about" Sasuke cut in sharply, halting a budding argument between Sakura and Ino. "You have no idea what it feels like. Being completely alone"

The last statement made Fugaku and Mikoto look at their youngest with slight worry. What had happened for the boy to say that? Had something happened to them? Even if so, Itachi would still be there. They were plenty sure that the child they were raising now, would not just abandon his little brother.

This sparks Sasuke to remark that Sakura had no idea what it felt like to be alone before saying that she was annoying.

"Repeating yourself there little cousin?" Obito joked, an attempt to lighten the heavy atmosphere that was starting to build up.

"He likes to hear himself talk" Naruto added his own two cents. He knew full well what Sasuke meant. He knew as well, what it felt to be alone. But he didn't want a fight to break out right now. Not when he could find out if he can achieve being a hokage or not.

Sasuke let out a snort and a gentle mutter that made Naruto grin and the boy himself smirk. And just like that, the atmosphere had lightened.

This causes Sakura to have some resolve for Naruto, deciding to be nicer to him.

"Maybe I should be" Sakura thought. "Especially with who his parents are" she quickly shook her head. No, she would be nice to him because that would be the right thing to do.

After Naruto finishes using the bathroom, he runs into Sasuke, much to his surprise. Naruto uses the Shadow Clone Technique in an attempt to attack Sasuke, but is unable to proceed due to having to use the bathroom again. After finishing, he spots Sakura who is strangely being nice to him. This leads him to believe that it was Sasuke transformed as her, and is prepared to face off against her until he has to use the bathroom yet again.

"Man what did you eat?" Kiba whistled, grinning like the dog boy he was while Akamaru yapped on his head.

"Something I shouldn't have" Naruto paled. Would he be running off to the bathroom right now as well? He didn't see a bathroom anywhere in this room.

At Naruto's house, the Third Hokage briefs Kakashi on the team he will be leading, Team 7. Kakashi examines a carton of milk and states that it was spoiled, which is the reason Naruto had to run to the bathroom so much.

The room burst into laughter while Naruto just turned as red as a tomato. "You could have just bought a fresh carton" Choji muttered in sympathy. He himself had once eaten an out of date food, not wanting to waste it. Worst decision of his life.

"The owners won't sell me the right things" Naruto muttered softly and the humor died down. For a moment they had all forgotten about Naruto's status as a container and how the villagers treated him. And while some felt disgusted by it, other felt sorry for the boy.

"You can come over to our place to eat sometimes" Shikamaru said with a lazy drawl. "My father wouldn't mind much"

"Or mine" Choji added. "I think he might actually like having someone other than Shikamaru come visit me. No offense of course Shikamaru" he said making the pineapple headed boy snort.

"My house is open too. My mom actually thinks you're quite a character and has told me many times to bring you over" Kiba spoke as well.

While Naruto gave his friend a grateful smile, Kushina and Minato smiled at their respective parents, sending them grateful nods as well. Ones the three returned with their own smiles.

Kakashi then comments on how much of a problem Naruto would be.

"I think with just a bit of training and solidifying your basics, you could be strong" Kakashi mused, making the blonde gape at him with stars in his eyes. "It would also help undo the sabotage that the academy has done to him" the masked Jonin thought with a hint of anger in his lone grey eye.
