What If Hinata Was In Team 7?

Ep-1 Team 7 , The Bell Test

---The Ninja Academy classroom is filled with excitement and tension as Iruka-sensei begins to announce the newly formed Genin squads. Naruto Uzumaki, as energetic as ever, fidgets in his seat, brimming with excitement at the idea of becoming a real ninja. Across the room, Sasuke Uchiha sits quietly, observing the scene with a cool, distant gaze.

Hinata Hyuga is sitting a bit off to the side, shyly glancing around, feeling a mix of nerves and quiet excitement. She's hoping for a team where she can grow and prove herself—especially if she's lucky enough to be with a certain someone.

Iruka steps forward, calling for silence.

**Iruka:** "Alright, everyone, it's time for your team assignments! These squads will help you develop your skills and bond with each other on missions. Let's get started."After calling a few teams, Iruka reaches Team 7.

**Iruka:** "Team 7 will consist of... Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Hinata Hyuuga."Naruto's face lights up in a huge grin as he jumps out of his seat, fists in the air.

**Naruto:** "Yeah! Team 7, let's go! This is gonna be awesome!"

Hinata blushes, quietly glancing over at Naruto with wide eyes, hardly able to believe she'll be on his team.

**Hinata (thinking):** "Naruto-kun... I'm on the same team as Naruto-kun... This is my chance to prove myself..."

Sasuke remains composed, though he gives Naruto a skeptical look. His focus shifts to Hinata briefly, as if assessing his new teammate, though he says nothing.

The other teams are announced, and soon Team 7 gathers in the corner of the classroom, Naruto still brimming with excitement, Hinata standing quietly nearby, and Sasuke watching them both with a stoic expression.

**Naruto:** "Alright, Team 7! This is gonna be amazing! Let's show everyone we're the best team!"

---As the Genin teams finish forming, Iruka-sensei claps his hands to bring the students' attention back to him.

**Iruka:** "Alright, now that you know your teams, your senseis will arrive shortly to meet you. Stay where you are and be patient."

Team 7 waits together in the classroom, the atmosphere a blend of excitement and curiosity. Naruto can't sit still, fidgeting and grinning with boundless enthusiasm.

**Naruto:** "I hope our sensei's someone super cool! Like... maybe the Fourth Hokage himself!"

**Sasuke:** *sighs* "The Fourth Hokage is gone, Naruto. Don't be stupid."

Naruto's excitement falters a little, and he grumbles under his breath, but the light-hearted moment catches Hinata's attention, and she gives a small smile.

**Hinata:** "I-I think... whatever our sensei is like... it'll be good for us. We're a strong team."Naruto beams at her, thrilled that someone agrees with him.

**Naruto:** "Exactly, Hinata! See, Sasuke, she gets it!"

Hinata blushes at Naruto's enthusiasm directed at her, and she shyly tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, looking down.

Just then, the door slides open, and a tall, silver-haired man with a mask covering half of his face and his headband slanted over one eye steps into the room. He gives the group a lazy glance, looking a bit bored already.

**Kakashi:** "So... you're Team 7. Meet me on the roof in five minutes." *He turns and leaves without another word.*

Naruto's jaw drops.

**Naruto:** "What?! No introduction? Just... up to the roof?"

**Sasuke:** "Stop wasting time, Naruto." *He gets up and heads toward the stairs.*
