Chapter 8: Teams
The next morning, everyone was surprised. Surprised because not only was Naruto in the room, but also sported a forehead protector.
"Why are you here, Naruto? This is only for graduates," A boy with pineapple shaped hair stated.
Naruto huffed, "Do you need to get your eyes checked Shikamaru? You see this," he gestured to his forehead protector, "It's a forehead protector."
Shikamaru eyed him lazily before sitting back down, probably to take a nap. I've noticed that guy sleeps a lot.
Everyone soon quieted down once Iruka entered the room. "Congratulations to everyone here for graduating, I will now be announcing the teams."
A series of hushed murmurs resonated through the classroom, and Iruka waited patiently for the class to quiet down once more. He raised an arm to scratch the back of his head and his sleeve shifted up, revealing the outline of a bloodstained bandage. I narrowed my eyes and took in the rest of his appearance more closely, he looked a little scuffed up and his expression was tired and weary beneath his smile. Just what happened last night? I shook it off as he started to announce the teams.
"Team one..."
I tuned him out, not hearing any familiar names. When suddenly I felt a prickling sensation, and the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. It felt as if... Someone was watching me. I looked around uneasily and stopped at the spot I though it was coming from. When I saw that there was nothing there, I turned back around but kept my guard up. I was still new to the whole ninja concept, who know what could happen?
~Meanwhile~
The jonin surrounding the Hokage's crystal ball gasped. Even the Hokage rose an eyebrow.
"How did she know?" Kurenai asked, wide eyed.
The Hokage just shook his head, "I have a feeling this one will be interesting."
The jonin agreed.
Hm... Kakashi thought, I wonder what exactly this girl is capable of. It would be interesting to have her on my team.
Little did he know, all of the jonin were thinking the exact same thing.
~Back to Sena~
"Team seven:" I tuned back in.
"Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki-"
Sakura slumped down in her seat, a gloomy expression on her face, while Naruto jumped for joy.
I don't know, I wouldn't mind Naruto but Sakura... Let's just say I've had bad experiences in the past with fangirls.
"-Sasuke Uchiha-"
Sakura cheered while Naruto slumped down, now the one that was gloomy.
You know what, never mind, any team with that duck bastard is a team I want to avoid being on. I can't stand-
"-and Sena."
I banged my head on the table. I literally face-desked so hard, I earned myself some weird looks. I let out a muffled groan that earned me even more weird looks, but I honestly couldn't care less at the moment.
Why? I thought, Why did I have to be stuck with the emotional baggage group?
-Timeskip cause I honestly don't know what to write anymore-
Two hours.
We've now been officially waiting for two hours.
Who the hell is ever two hours late? I didn't think it was actually possible, but our sensei proved us wrong.
Suddenly Naruto got up on a chair and placed a chalk eraser on top of the door, so that whoever opened it, the eraser would fall on them.
"Naruto, what are you doing?" Sakura hissed, her eyes wide.
Naruto sniggered, "It serves him right for being late, everyone else already left!"
It was true, we were the only ones left, even Iruka left some time ago.
"Hn, like a jonin would fall for that," Sasuke scoffed.
"Yeah, Sasuke's right!" Sakura agreed.
I rolled my eyes, I've learnt that Sakura agrees with everything Sasuke says. It was kind of annoying.
Suddenly the door opened, and sure enough, the eraser fell into a mane of silver gravity defying hair.
Naruto burst into laughter and fell onto the floor, clutching his stomach. "You fell for it!" He wheezed through laughter. Even I snickered little.
"Sorry sensei, I tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen," Sakura apologized and I snorted. Go ahead and be a suck up, will ya?
This is my sensei? Sasuke thought incredulously as he began to doubt the jonin's abilities.
Then suddenly it clicked as I recognized the figure in front of me. The gravity defying hair, the mask, the closed eye smile. Kakashi was my sensei?
Kakashi smiled a closed eye smile, "My first impression of all of you, is.." He paused, "I hate you all."
We all fell into a depressed aura.
"Meet me on the roof," Kakashi said, before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
---------------
When we reached the roof, we found Kakashi waiting for us.
"Let's start by introducing ourselves," Kakashi said.
"What do you mean, sensei?" Sakura questioned.
"Things you like, things you hate, hobbies, dreams for the future, etcetera..." Kakashi trailed off.
Sakura blinked innocently, "Why don't you go first, sensei?"
That was actually a good question.
"Me?"
"Yeah, you look kind of suspicious," Sakura stated.
"Yeah!" Naruto agreed.
"Well," Kakashi started, "My name is Kakashi Hatake, I like a lot of things. I have a lot of hobbies. My dream for the furture... Hm, never really thought about it."
I sweatdropped, all he really told us was his name. Wait a second... Kakashi... Hatake? I froze, does that mean that he's related to me?
"Well that was useless," Sakura muttered, and for once, I agreed. I wanted to know more about Kakashi, especially since he shared the same last name as me.
"Now," Kakashi started, breaking my train of thought, "Starting with you, with the blonde hair."
Naruto crossed his arms, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki! I like when Iruka sensei takes me out for ramen and instant ramen! I hate the three seconds I have to wait for the ramen to be prepared. My dream for the future is to become Hokage so everyone will respect me! My hobbies... pranking I guess," Naruto shrugged. (A/N: Lol I wrote prancing instead of pranking before)
Kakashi raised an eyebrow, but continued, "Next, you with the pink hair."
Sakura looked up, "My name is Sakura Haruno. Things I like are..." She let out a high pitched giggle.
Lord kill me now.
"My hobbies are..." Another giggle.
I could see Kakashi's eyebrow twitching.
"My dream for the future is..." She glanced at Sasuke and squealed.
"Is there anything you hate?" Kakashi sweatdropped.
Sakura's expression turned from dreamy to furious in the time period of two seconds.
"NARUTO!" She roared.
"Gah!" Naruto exclaimed, a depressed aura surrounding him.
Kakashi paid no heed to the current situation. "Next," he said, pointing to Sasuke.
Sasuke took this long pause before he spoke, "My name, is Sasuke Uchiha. I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I will restore my clan, and kill a certain someone." The whole time he spoke, he never stopped glaring at the ground.
I coughed, "Thank you for that inspiring speech there duck butt but I believe it's my turn." Sasuke glared at me.
"My name is Sena, just Sena. I like to read and I dislike avocados. I have a lot of hobbies which I don't feel like naming. My dream for the future... Is to know." I whispered the last part. I meant that I wanted to figure out what the hell was going on.
The others were silent for a bit before Kakashi spoke once more. "We're going to be starting survival training tomorrow."
"What?" Asked Sakura, "But we already did that in the academy."
"Yeah but this is different," Kakashi explained, "this determines whether or not you become a genin."
"What!" Naruto shouted, "But we already graduated, we're already ninja!"
"Wrong," said Kakashi, "The academy was only to pick out candidates suitable to be genin."
Our mouths gaped open (except for Sasuke). "Are you kidding me right now?" Naruto shouted.
"No, and the success rate is low."
"Well, What is it? Tell us," Sakura asked.
Kakashi then produced this weird creepy evil laugh that sounded more like a cackle. It was quite unnerving.
When he finally stopped cackling he spoke, "You're not going to like it if I tell you," he said in a sing-song voice.
"Tell us!" Naruto demanded.
"Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you. The dropout rate is sixty-six percent."
"Say what?"
"No way!"
"You're kidding me!"
Even Sasuke seemed a little irked, seeing as he was glaring harder at the ground.
Ignoring our reactions, Kakashi continued. "Meet me here at 5:00 am sharp tomorrow, don't be late."
Yeah, like you were today?
"Oh and one more thing," he said smiling his famous closed eye smile, "Don't eat breakfast, or else you'll puke."
And with that he disappeared in a cloud of smoke, leaving us to freak out by ourselves.
