"Okay, now, I'll tell you the members of each team," Iruka began, holding his paper in his hand. He read the first one. "Team seven: Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke."
Sakura cheered mentally (and a bit physically) and stuck her tongue out at the platinum blonde sitting behind her. Ino glared at the lucky girl that got on Sasuke's team.
Iruka read out the other teams: Ino, Shikamaru and Choji; Hinata, Kiba and Shino, and various others.
The next day, team seven sat in the classroom, eager to meet their new sensei.
Well, Sasuke wasn't eager but he still wanted to be trained.
Naruto sighed. "Man, what's taking our sensei so long?" He asked to no one in particular.
"Naruto, why don't you sit still?" Sakura sighed out herself, standing by Sasuke, of course.
"But why is the teacher of our seventh group the only one late?" Naruto asked, bored out of his mind. His eyes wandered around the room and eventually landed on the eraser for the chalkboard. He grinned and grabbed it, dragging a chair over to the door and climbing on it.
"Naruto, what are you doing?!" Sakura asked in a disapproving tone. She put her hands on her hips, shaking her head, but inside she was yelling, 'Oh man! I live for this stuff!'
"This is what he gets for being late," Naruto told the girl with a cheeky grin. He placed the eraser just right so when the door was opened, the eraser would fall and land on their sensei's head.
Sasuke sighed, annoyed. "Do you really think he'd fall for that?"
Naruto shrugged and got down, putting the chair back.
A few minutes later, the door was opening. "Sorry I'm late-"
The eraser fell on the half-masked man's head, falling to the floor.
Naruto burst out in laughter. "I got him! He totally fell for it!" Sasuke didn't do much beside look up.
Sakura panicked, blushing from embarrassment. "Sorry sensei! I told him not to do it, but he wouldn't listen! I'd never do anything like that!"
'Cha! Perfect shot!'
Naruto chuckled and rubbed his head awkwardly.
Sasuke's brow raised, before he closed his eyes. 'So... he fell for it after all. And he's actually a jounin? Just great.'
"It's quite alright," the sensei said, not angry at all. "I actually fell for it; didn't see it coming. Impressive."
Naruto grinned.
"Alright," Kakashi uttered. "Follow me."
The twelve-year-olds followed their sensei out of the classroom and onto the rooftop.
They all sat down and Kakashi smiled lightly. "Okay, why don't you introduce yourselves? One at a time."
"Introduce ourselves?" Sakura asked, tilting her head. "What do you mean?"
"Things you like, things you hate, dreams for the future, hobbies. Things like that."
"Why don't you go first?" Naruto suggested. "I mean before we talk, tell us about you so we know how it's supposed to work."
Sakura nodded at that and the jounin sighed. "Me? I'm Kakashi Hatake. Things I like and things I hate...I don't feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future...never really thought about it. As for my hobbies...I have lots of hobbies."
Sakura looked unimpressed. 'That was pointless, all we learned was his name,' she thought.
Kakashi only smiled under his cloth mask (though the only way Naruto could tell was because Kakashi's eye smiled and the mask wrinkled slightly).
"Okay," Kakashi uttered. "You can start."
"Believe it! I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I like instant ramen in a cup, and I really like the ramen Iruka-sensei got me at the Ichiraku Noodle Shop. But I hate the three minutes you have to wait after you pour the water in the ramen cup. My hobby is eating different kinds of ramen and comparing them. And my future dream is to be the greatest Hokage! Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody- somebody important!"
"How about you?" Kakashi nodded to Sakura.
"I'm Sakura Haruno! I like... well, the person I like is..." Sakura trailed off, blushing as she glanced at the Uchiha. "And my hobby is... Well, my dream is to..." Once again, she looked at Sasuke dreamily, blushing, but the Uchiha was looking away.
"And what do you hate?" Kakashi asked.
"Naruto." She glared at the blond boy, who pouted.
Kakashi sighed and waited for Sasuke to start.
With his hands clasped in front of his mouth, Sasuke began to speak in a low tone, but loud enough for them to hear. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream, because I will make it into a reality. I'm going to restore my clan, and destroy a certain... someone..."
'Uh... I hope he doesn't mean me..." Naruto thought to himself, glancing at the Uchiha.
Nobody spoke for a good five seconds. "Okay," Kakashi said. "How should I put this? My first impression of this group is... you're a bunch of idiots."
Sakura and Naruto protested.
"Alright, I will test you first thing tomorrow."
The genin nodded.
"Oh, and one more thing, don't eat breakfast or you'll puke."
Smiling at the children's (Sakura's and Naruto's) horrified looks, the jounin left.
