Chapter 11: The Selection

Academy Classroom

Mostly everyone had already gotten to the class. Shikamaru had his head down, Choji was eating chips, Shino simply waited, Hinata was looking anxious, and Kiba seemed to be playing with Akamaru. Naruto,Sasuke,Sakura, and Ino had yet to arrive but when they arrived it was sure to be-

Sakura and Ino had just arrived.

Both ran through the door as they were screamed at each other.

"HELL NO FOREHEAD! I'LL BE SITTING NEXT TO SASUKE! Ino screamed out

"NO WAY! IF ANYTHING SASUKE WOULD LOVE SIT NEXT TO ME! I'VE GOT BEAUTY AND SMARTS! YOU'VE ONLY GOT ONE PART INO!" Sakura screamed back out

"ALL THE SMARTS WENT TO YOUR FOREHEAD!"

"WHY YOUUUUUU!"

Sakura and Ino butted foreheads as they stared at each other angrily.

"You guys do know that Sasuke isn't even here yet right?" Kiba spoke up

"SHUT UP KIBA!" Both Ino and Sakura screamed out as they continued their actions for the next few minutes until Sasuke came in and sat down. Completely ignoring the situation going on between Ino and Sakura.

"Ah! Sasuke-kun! You'd love for me to sit next you am I right?" Ino asked

"Don't be stupid Ino! Sasuke-kun clearly would love me sitting next to him.

They butted foreheads once more not noticing Naruto walking into the classroom and taking the seat next to Sasuke.

"Wait a minute! Naruto you took the damn seat!" Ino shouted out

"NARUTOOOOOOOOOOOO! MOVE OUT OF THE DAMN SEAT OR I'LL PUT YOU THROUGH A DAMN WALL!" Sakura screamed out

"Sorry Sakura-chan, but I sat here first." Naruto said with his hand's up.

Sakura proceeded to raise her arm preparing to hit Naruto until her arm was suddenly caught.

"He doesn't warrant pain just because he refused you the seat, You should watch how you raise your arm to your allies." A voice seriously said. Naruto looked to his side and noticed it was Ito. Who at the moment actually seemed genuinely angry and had a frown on his face.

"Y-You...Who the hell are you!" Sakura shouted while pulling back her arm.

"I was looking to Introduce myself in a more fair-mannered approach but your actions eliminated that. My name is Ito. I am among the students here to be selected to teams." Ito said calmly as his smile formed back in his face. "Now then, why don't you girls go sit somewhere else within the class, I am certain that you'll have time to chat with the Uchiha at another occasion."

Sakura walked off fuming with anger as she sat in the back, while Ino simply stared at the boy mildly flustered as she went on the other side of Sakura to sit.

"T-Thank you...Don't think I really needed your help there though Ito..." Naruto whispered out

Ito's smile merely grew as his response, as he went to sit in the farthest corner while waiting for the Instructor who would announce the teams. Nobody had to wait very long considering he came in only a few minutes later.

Sasuke stared at what had just happened in astonishment. "I didn't even sense his presence at all...Who is he? He doesn't even have a clan name!..." As Sasuke took his gaze to Ito.

"Hello everyone. I'd rather not waste time so I'll be announcing who your team's will be now."

"Team 7 will be Naruto Uzumaki,Sasuke Uchiha, and Ito."

"OH COME ON! WHY DO I HAVE TO BE WITH TEME!" Naruto shouted out.

"Likewise. Why do I have to be with the dobe..." Sasuke said.

"Why does Naruto of all people get to be with Sasuke and we don't..." Sakura and Ino both said as rainclouds formed over them.

Hinata was saddened as she looked down. I was hoping I'd get to be with Naruto-kun...

"If you got complaints take it to the Hokage, I'm not responsible for this." The Instructor said without much care.

"Now then, Team 8 will be Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, and Kiba Inuzuka." Shino and Kiba gave each a look of understanding and a nod. Hinata was still looking at the floor, still saddened by not being with Naruto."

"Wait a minute, The Team's are usually in 3, and with that boy somehow being with Naruto and Sasuke, what happens to one of us?" Sakura asked.

"Oh that's easy. You see..." He coughed as he began.

"Team 10 will be Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi"

"Wait! so were going to be in a...SQUAD OF 4!" Ino shouted out.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I'M GONNA DIE WITH THIS TEAM! WHY CAN'T I BE WITH SASUKE-KUN!" Sakura screamed out

"This doesn't so bad to be honest...Shika what do you think?" Choji asked

"Troublesome..." Shikamaru said

"Your Instructors will show up not too long from now, Make sure to be prepared for when they do arrive. Be respectful and mature, They don't want to have any bad first opinions of you all..." The Instructor said as he walked out.

"I could have been with Sasuke-kun...why do I have to be in this team..." Sakura muttered out

"I have to be with forehead...what a pain..." Ino muttered out

Naruto stared at the 2 girls in his back until he decided to simply change it up.

"Hey...Sora..." Naruto called out in his head.

"Yes? Young one?" Sora answered back

"I got my team placements. Any opinions on getting placed with Sasuke and Ito?..."

"You were placed on a team...with the Uchiha...and the Ito boy?..." Sora asked

"Yep. I have a feeling this is going to be a drag..." Naruto said

Shikamaru sneezed in the back suddenly.

'That's...Interesting...but still...keep your guard up. "The Uchiha will just be a snob but I still firmly believe that the Ito boy is not what he seems..."

"Are you sure?...Maybe you're just overthinking this Sora..." Naruto said

"No. I have no reason to overthink something like this. That boy is just not right. Keep your eye on him. Just trust me on this."

"Whatever you say Sora...but what about my Void Jutsu? should I be using it or sharing it?..."

"That's up to you young one. I'd be cautious considering the Uchiha's arrogance and the Ito boy being very strange..." He simply stated.

"Alright then. Thank's Sora." Naruto said as he cut off the connection.

Everyone in the class waited for there teacher's to come, It didn't take long for the first one to arrive.

"Team 8. Come with me." A Woman with interesting red eye's said.

Not too long after that, the next one came.

"Team 10. Let's go." A Man with a cigarette said.

Which left Naruto, Sasuke, and Ito in their current predicament.

10 minutes passed.

20.

30.

40.

50.

An hour had passed and yet, their teacher was nowhere to be seen whatsoever.

"Damn it! Where the hell is he! Why take a genin team If you're going to be this damn late!

"Calm down dobe, getting riled up doesn't mean much..." Sasuke said simply.

"Why you Teme!" Naruto said as he started walking up to Sasuke. However, Ito got in the way of Naruto before any confrontation could happen.

"Calm down now you two. Let us not create any unneeded tension...We are going to be a team, we can't let grudges get in the way." Ito said.

"There won't be any tension...It'll just be a little ass kissing for -up Uchiha over here! Naruto said

"Dobe!..." Sasuke muttered out angrily

"Teme!" Naruto muttered out angrily. Both began to butt their forehead's together.

The door suddenly opened as Naruto,Sasuke, and Ito all looked immediately at the door as they saw their apparent sensei looking at all of them.

"This is Team 7...right?" He asked.

Naruto,Sasuke,and Ito all nodded.

The apparent sensei started laughing as he stepped further giving them a good luck of his mask and white hair.

Look's like this will be worth my time after all...
