               After tying her hair into low pigtails, both that was then wrapped with huge bead each. Hinari took her headband and went to the front door.

"Father, I'll be going now." She informed the empty house then made her way to the Academy, when she arrived, she didn't spot her teammates at their rendezvous point. That made her confuse.

"Where are they?"

Hinari then entered the academy, looking for her teammates. She felt something off, and figured it out right away as if it was nothing to her.

'Genjutsu huh...'

She sighed and dispersed the jutsu to herself, ignoring bunch of participants being trap in the genjutsu and made her way to the 3rd floor.

"You're late Hinari!" Kiba scolded

"Sorry guys, there's a black cat in my way so I took the longer route." Hinari stated, mocking an older jonin who was absent in her presence as of the moment.

"That's a lame excuse Hina." Shikamaru stated as soon as he heard it while the four entered the classroom.

"Shh!" She shushed

"Hina!!" Choji greeted, Hinari's face became joyful as she went and hug her best friend.

"Did you miss me that much Choji" She asked

Choji nodded and shared his chips with her. "Yeah, without you I don't have a cheese snack and a food friend." He huffed

"Is that so." She giggled

"Oh-ho~ Hina-chan, seems like you're still wear this heavy ass gear of yours." Ino smirked.

"Well you know I like using different kinds of weapons, carrying them under my dress isn't a bad idea though." Hinari shrugged

"It's thanks to me who designed it~" Ino giggled

"Oh yeah? Well I'm the one who created it." Hinari replied

"But I helped you though, I bought the fabrics." Ino grinned

"With my money." Hinari smiled back

"What.... A drag." Shikamaru slumped his shoulders.

Ino look over the door and saw Sasuke, she smiled widely and jumped on him. "Sasuke-kun~" she squealed.

"Oh my, so the rookie 10 are all here huh." Hinari gasped

"Oh yeah, and guess what? Today I'll make sure to beat you Hinari!" Naruto showed her a broad smile as he confidently declare his statement.

"Hah- dream on Naruto. Out of all of us Rookies, Hinari here was the one who improve the most after months of being genin." Kiba scoffed, crossing his arm proudly.

"Don't mind Kiba, let him have his dream." Hinari chuckled

"So what? I'll beat her, you too- all of you!" Naruto smirked

"You won't beat me and Sasuke, for sure." He added

"Don't lump me with you loser." Sasuke spat

"Hey!" Naruto huffed, he then noticed Choji opening another bag of chips.

"Oi Choji, share some." He pleaded, Choji glared at him.

"No." Choji refused

Naruto pouted "Just one chip, fats-" he didn't got to finish when Hinari and Shikamaru slapped his mouth and headlocked him.
