Naruto opened his eyes, it was dark the predawn insects were making their calls. Naruto wondered what had woken him for a second and thought about going back to sleep...till the rustling of leaves caught his attention. Waking Lee with a hand over the loud Genin mouth Naruto nodded to the flap of the tent, Lee listened, and he too heard the leaves.

Both boys quickly but silently slipped out of the tent...to come face to mask with Dog.

"Can you be a bit quieter," Naruto whispered. "I thought an ANBU captain knew how to move Silently."

Dog just turned his head as he stared at the boy...he was being silent, seems the blonde really could track ANBU.

"Food will be ready in an hour," A voice spoke up. and the three turned to see Teuchi walking up to them.

"Hey old man," Naruto called with a smile. "Is it ok for you to be here, what about your stand?"

The cook just smiled. "Hokage is compensating me very well for my time the stand is closed."

"Well then...glad you're here Since I'm up I better start waking the others." Naruto smiled and turned to head for the closest tent.

Lee turned to follow as the Cook just looked at the silent Dog,

"Got you, again didn't he?" the cook asked. Dog just nodded.

"Have you gotten sloppy or is he really that good?"

Here the Dog just looked at the blonde as he reached in and grabbed the foot of either Genma or Tsubaki, after a moment he looked back at the cook and shrugged.

"Fifty minutes," the cook replied and turned away.

"What do you want Dobe?" Sasuke growled and put his pillow over his head.

"Time to get up Breakfast will be served soon, best not keep the Chief waiting," Naruto replied as he turned to the next tent.

Sasuke growled and cursed the dead last before pulling the pillow off and sitting up. There he saw the Hyuga as he was dressing and getting his gear on,

"Ready Sasuke?" Neji asked.

"Calling me by my first name?" Sasuke got defensive.

"I had a talk with my mother, seems there is a rule here in this camp. The only ones with titles are the Chief and his instructors. Clans don't exist here; titles and honorifics do not exist here. We are all equal here."

Sasuke just huffed as he got up and dressed.

Naruto slipped his hand into the tent on the end but could not feel a foot,

"We are awake Uzu...Naruto," Hiashi spoke from the tent.

The boy just walked on as Hiashi and Kyoko sat on their beds and stared at each other,

"Ready for this Hiashi?" she asked.

"Four times I have sat on this bed, is anyone ever ready for this place?" was his reply.

"Ten times for me...and no."

The two quickly moved from the tent and found almost everyone up and moving.
