"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto called out, grabbing the Jounin's attention as his eye reluctantly moved away from the book.
"You three made it here faster than I expected," Kakashi said, "All right then. Now everyone take a seat on the stairs here."
Naruto and the others did as they were told while the Jounin placed his book in his pouch and got started.
"Now that we're all here," Kakashi said, "Let's get things rolling. First off, we'll start off by introducing ourselves to each other; tell us your name, hobbies, interests, dislikes, future long term goals, and all that good stuff."
"Can you give us a demonstration of that, Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked.
"OK then," Kakashi shrugged, "I'm Hatake Kakashi. One of my hobbies is reading Icha-Icha Paradise as you already know. My interests, dislikes, and future goals, you don't need to know."
"You didn't tell us much," Sakura replied.
"No," Kakashi admitted, "Only what I wanted to tell you guys. And seeing that you like to speak your mind, why don't you start off with the introductions?"
Sakura cleared her throat and started off, "I'm Haruno Sakura. My hobbies include studying, books…(turns and looks at Sasuke)…and hanging out with my friends. My interests are (turns and looks at Sasuke)…and my long term goal includes (turns and looks at Sasuke with a blush)."
"And what are your dislikes?" Kakashi asked with a bored and lazy tone.
"NARUTO!" Sakura screamed loudly.
"Well, you're no breath of sunshine either," Naruto remarked. Sakura was about to smack Naruto but Kakashi intervened.
"No need for unnecessary violence, please," Kakashi said, then turned to Naruto and added, "Now Naruto, seeing as your name was screamed so passionately by Sakura, why don't you go next?"
Sakura frowned and grumbled at the fact that Kakashi was already making fun of her.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto started with a large grin, "Besides eating ramen at Ichiraku, my favorite hobbies including spying, training, and being with my beautiful and loving girlfriend Hinata-chan, teasing and spending time with her younger sister Hanabi, who swears she can kick my ass in a straight fight, being with Hiashi-san when it doesn't include facing him when he's angry and listening to him threatening to hurt me if I get any of his two daughters in any bit of trouble, spending time with Sandaime-jiisan and Konohamaru, spending time with Teuchi-jiisan and Ayame-neechan, and pulling pranks. Also, my interests include reading Icha-Icha Paradise and bathhouses."
"You mean peeking at women in bathhouses," Sakura snorted.
"Whatever," Naruto shrugged, "My dislikes includes people who discriminate and prejudge me without knowing anything about me which includes most of the villagers, being blamed and looked down on for things that were never my fault and those who claim to be real ninjas but know nothing about what it really means and traitors. My long terms goals include marrying my loving girlfriend Hinata-chan and having children with her. I intend to not only become Hokage but also establish a whole new Uzumaki clan with me as its clan leader, a clan that this village will owe a huge homage to!"
A whole new Uzumaki clan? Kakashi stayed quiet as he analyzed Naruto's words carefully, A clan that this village will owe a huge homage to.
Kakashi was very well aware of the Uzumaki clan and their reputation with their mastery of seals. He looked at Naruto and wondered if Naruto really knew about the existence of the Uzumaki clan.
"Intriguing goals you have there Naruto, forming a new clan in Konoha," Kakashi commented, "But establishing a clan is no easy feat, and it'll require much needed land, funding and resources."
"That's why after I marry my lovely girlfriend," Naruto explained, "We'll form a whole new joint Uzumaki-Hyuuga clan. I can just see it now! I'll also help Hinata-chan change the way of the Hyuuga Clan!"
This kid has some rather honorable and constructive goals, Kakashi thought before turning to Sasuke. "Okay, Mr. Sunshine, you're up."
Ignoring the name he was called, Sasuke started off, "I'm Uchiha Sasuke. My hobbies includes training, becoming stronger, and surpassing my limits. I have many dislikes which also includes fangirls and Naruto, but I'm interested in a certain girl. My goals include becoming a strong ninja, and gaining the acknowledgment and affections of that certain girl and rebuilding my clan with her after I kill a certain man."
"And if by "certain girl" you mean Hinata-chan and by "certain man" you mean me," Naruto remarked, "Then you'd better wake up, because Hinata-chan will never allow you to kill me just so you can have and impregnate her!"
"Idiot!" Sasuke retorted, "I wasn't talking about you when I said I wanted to kill a certain man! I was talking about somebody else entirely!"
Kakashi took careful note that Sasuke was quick to correct Naruto about the "certain man" part but he didn't argue with Naruto about the "certain girl" part of his speech. Both Kakashi and Naruto were aware of Itachi slaughtering the Uchiha clan but Naruto wanted to see what Sasuke's intentions were.
Why won't you look at me as that certain girl, Sasuke-kun, Sakura thought sadly.
"Now that we've got the introductions done," Kakashi said, "We'll move on to the next objective, which is the test I'll give you three tomorrow to see if you all are really ready for the ninja life."
"Test?" Sakura asked, "What test? We already took the Genin Exams."
"The academy merely gave you a test to judge whether or not you all could perform the basic fundamentals of jutsu and other arts. My test will judge whether you three will meet the merit of being a team of ninjas. Meet me tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock at the training ground in front of the Konoha Memorial Stone. And don't eat anything before my test. You'll just puke it up. Till then, enjoy the rest of your day. Oh, and Sasuke, will you stay behind for a bit please?"
