My story: To Team Seven
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3931752/1/To_Team_Seven
A couple of days later, after him taking a horrible photo for his shinobi identification card and meeting the kid named Konohamaru, found Naruto trudging into the classroom, his head down. He had met with the Kyuubi the night before, and had asked the fox not to heal his wounds. Naruto wanted to be reminded of his idiotic stunt for as long as was possible. Even as he thought about it, he had thought his meaning with the Kyuubi would be a lot more…confrontational than it was, but since this time’s Kyuubi didn’t know what had occurred with Naruto, he wouldn’t know to say anything about it. The class was nearly empty as he came in, except for a few other students, which included Hinata and Sasuke. As Naruto moved down the steps to go sit next to Sasuke, Hinata caught sight of his injuries and gasped as she stood up. Rushing down behind him, Hinata grabbed Naruto’s arm and surveyed his wounds. Naruto hissed when Hinata’s left hand hit a particularly sore spot on his arm, and she drew back her hand quickly. Sasuke had turned around to place a glare on the two of them when he, too, saw Naruto’s injuries. He stood up, staring at Naruto with narrowed eyes.
“Who did that to you!” Sasuke whispered harshly. “Tell me!”
Naruto forced himself to laugh as he rubbed the back of his head. “It’s okay, it’s okay,” he said, moving away from Hinata and sitting down on the bench. “Besides,” he added, glaring at Hinata and Sasuke, “you two are acting out of character. Get a grip!”
Hinata stiffened and glared down at the blond, who did his best to ignore her. She rose her gaze to look at a furious Sasuke, and he sighed and nodded. Scowling, Hinata recomposed herself and moved back to her seat. Sasuke scooted away from Naruto, but kept an eye on the blond in any case. Sakura won’t like this, he thought, his face paling slightly.
Shortly after that even, Sakura and Ino came bursting into the room, with Ino breathing hard and Sakura acting like she could run a few marathons. Seeing Naruto sitting beside Sasuke, her face paled slightly when she saw how horrible he still looked. Ignoring Ino, Sakura moved down towards Naruto, placing her hands on the desk in front of him. He looked up and saw her face whiten further. “Naruto…” she began, before being pushed out of the way. Surprised, she saw Ino reach for Naruto’s V-cut black shirt. Ino pulled the boy out of his seat and pushed him down the stairs as she moved to sit next to Sasuke. Sakura saw Naruto hit the ground and wince in pain, and the thin line of patience she had been holding onto since her father had nearly killed Naruto snapped. Within seconds, a kunai was in her hand and she appeared in front of a shocked Ino, holding the kunai at Ino’s throat. Ino’s eyes were wide with disbelief and fear as Sakura regarded her with a calm, yet deadly expression.
“You… Never, ever, touch him again. Are we clear?”
Ino stepped back, and looked down at the slowly rising blond. Turning back to Sakura, she mustered a few chuckles, saying, “You’re kidding, right, Sakura? That’s the dead-last. No need to protect him.”
“Yeah, that’s another thing,” Sakura continued, still gripping her kunai tightly. “You’re not going to call him that anymore. He has a name, and you’re going to use it!”
Naruto gripped Sakura’s shoulder, forcing a grin to his face. “Aw, Sakura, she didn’t mean any harm. Don’t scare her.”
Sakura turned to look at him, her pale, leaf-green eyes filled with tears, anger and determination. Naruto blinked a few times and forgot what he had been trying to do. Turning back to Ino, Sakura said, “If I catch you demeaning him ever again, I will make you regret it, Ino. I don’t care if you are my best friend. Now, please step away from me.”
The rosette glared at all the people who had began paying attention to the conversation, and just as quickly, they found themselves having something better to do. Catching Hinata’s eyes, Sakura readied herself for a look of disappointment, but only found pride in the Hyuuga’s eyes. A smile graced the lips of Hinata, and she nodded down at Sakura, who nodded back. Turning to Naruto, she pushed the boy onto the bench before sitting there herself. Looking closely at his wounds, she sighed softly, and pulled Naruto’s head down to rest in her lap. Though he resisted, as soon Sakura began to run her fingers through his hair, he began to relax and found himself unwilling to leave his comfy pillow.
Ino continued staring down at Sakura and Naruto, confusion whirling around in her brain. When Iruka came in, she finally gathered some sense and went to go sit down somewhere. Iruka looked up Sakura in confusion when he saw her holding Naruto, but shrugged and figured it wasn’t his business. Looking down at his handy-dandy clipboard, saying, “All of you have passed the Genin Exam. Congratulations to all of you, though I have to warn you that it’s only going to get harder from here on out. Never forget what you have learned at this academy. Remember: the basics are essential. In any case, I will announce the teams now. Team One is…”
Sakura and Sasuke tuned Iruka out and looked at each other. “Together again, huh, Sasuke?”
“Seems that way. But things are going to change this time around.”
“Yes…you aren’t too much of an asshole anymore.”
Sasuke smirked, though a frown soon became apparent. “I will still have to get that curse seal though. I’ll just have to nurture it on my own, instead of going off and staying with that porno idiot Orochimaru.”
