<For Naru's name, I'm going to switch depending on who is interacting with her. For all Konoha, her name is Naru but for the bijū, it's Suzuka. Sorry if it's confusing. Also, since I always forget : I still didn't manage to talk Kishimoto into selling me Naruto so no, I don't own it. :'( >
Team 7 was currently waiting for their sensei, Sakura trying to get as near as possible to her precious Sasuke-kun, said Uchiha being extremely bored and bothered by both the pinkette and their sensei. Naru was reading a book about fuinjutsu she snatched from a library Kurama told her to go to. She still paid for it, leaving a very confused shopkeeper behind her.
All the other teams were gone by now and their teacher was at least two hours late.Eventually, a tall, silver-haired man walked inside the room. He stared at them, visibly bored, before saying : "My first impression of you is that I hate you. Meet me on the roof." And with that, he disappeared.
Confused, the three students looked at each other. Sasuke finally got up and walked out of the room, Sakura following closely behind.
Naru wanted to finish her page though, so she read the end of the paragraph and quickly shunshined.
She arrived right behind her teammates so they didn't notice her. Kakashi did though and looked at her with curiosity.He finally spoke :
" - Sorry about the delay, let's just get started with the presentations.- How do we introduce ourselves, sensei ?
- I don't know, say things like your name, your likes and dislikes, your hobbies, your dreams for the future...
- Could you show us an example with yourself, sensei ?
- Me ? Well, my name's Hatake Kakashi, my likes and dislikes are none of your business, I have many hobbies and I don't have a dream for the future. You go, pinkie.
- P-pinkie ?! - Shannaro, I'm going to kill him for calling me that in front of Sasuke-kun! - My name is Haruno Sakura, I like... uhm ... - Sakura started blushing madly - my hobbies are *squealing* and my dream for the future is... Kyaaaaahhh!!!!
"Great, I got a fangirl. I'll have to make her realise what shinobi life is like otherwise she'll get herself killed in no time."
- Ok, blondie, you're next.
- My name's Uzumaki Naru, I like studying seals, gardening, meditating and azuki. I dislike being disrupted while studying or reading, crowded places and delusional people. My hobbies are varied. My dream is to be able to protect those I cherish.
"She remained very vague about her activities. I might have to investigate this."
- Good, now emo, it's your turn.
- Humpf. My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I dislike many things and there's nothing I like in particular. My hobbies are irrelevant and I have no dream, rather an ambition : there is a man I have to kill.
"I suspected so. This will lead nowhere good."
- Alright, now that's out of the way, I want you three to meet at the training grounds at 5 A.M. tomorrow for our first exercise.
- What kind of exercise will it be sensei ?
- A survival exercise.
- But we did plenty of those in the Academy !
- This one will be different. Very different. So make sure you are fully prepared.
Kakashi stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around.
- And don't eat breakfast. You wouldn't want to puke."
And with that, the copy ninja left. Sasuke left as soon as the meeting was over. Sakura ran after him, trying to get a date with him.
Only Naru remained there, lost in her thoughts.
