8 Team 7

I woke up in the morning and got ready and went to the academy after having breakfast. After I went inside the academy, I saw everyone waiting with anticipation. I went ahead and sat in a desk as well. Naruto entered the classroom and sat in the desk in front of me. Then there was a loud sound.

The sound interrupted me as I turned backwards at the entrance to look at two girls, one in red and another in purple dress who started fighting as they tried to enter the class."I am first they screamed" upon entering."I am first again Sakura" Ino claimed. "Are you blind, my toe was at least a tenth of an inch ahead of yours" Sakura retorted. "Hunh" Sakura's eyes caught my figure as she she rushed over.Naruto wanting to greet her was pushed-off by Sakura's impulsiveness.

As Naruto was in front of me, when he was pushed, he fell on me but I remembered that Naruto kissed Sasuke in the anime at this movement and I dodged him avoiding the kiss. Sakura came and sat next to me fawning over me.

Soon Iruka same into the class and sorted all the commotion.Everyone took their place as Iruka announced the guidelines upon which the teams were made. After explaining the guidelines, he started announcing the names

Squad 7 - Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke

Squad 8 - Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino

Squad 10 - Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru and Akimichi Chouji(Ino-Shika-Cho).

"Alright!, Now that I have assigned you to your squads, you can now leave for a break, please be back by 2pm to meet your instructors CLASS DISMISSED!" said Iruka as he left the classroom.

"Sasuke!" Sakura brimmed with happiness upon sitting near me."Sakura" I commented as I looked at her."Sasuke lets have lunch together shall we?" Sakura asked as she started unpacking her bento set. "Sakura, What do you think of Naruto?" I asked her to understand her opinion on him. I didnt want her to tell Kakashi that the thing she hates is Naruto. She thought for a while and replued "Hmm...He knows about my feelings and purposely gets in my way...He enjoys getting in my way…. But You know one thing Sasuke, all I care about is you….." As I heard that I reminded her of the question again. "Back to Naruto, Sakura". Hearing me Sakura said "There you go changing the subject again. Frget about Naruto, you know why he is annoying its all because he wasn't raised right. He doesn't have parents to teach him right from wrong , think about it , he does whatever comes to his head. If I did things like Naruto, my parents would get mad, and I would get in trouble so of course I don't do it. He is selfish and bratty, he is all alone"

I got angry at this point but soon cooled down thinking they are just children & started speaking

"Alone, isolated, it is not about your parents scolding you Sakura, you have no idea what it means to be alone. Think about it Sakura, how much do you have to suffer if you are all alone with nonone to take care of you, no bbn one to help you or to console you when you are down. Nonone waiting for you when you are all alone. Put yourself in Naruto's shoes and think about it clearly. You will understand his suffering and what it means to be all alone. As you know, I lost my parents 6 months back. In those six months itself I felt miserable. Naruto lost his parents when he was born. How sad and helpless must he have felt all these years. If you say he is all alone, then I am alao all alone Sakura".

Sakura felt disappointed in herself after thinking about what I said. She thought back to how Naruto would have felt and needed someone as a friend to speak to, despite which she shrugged him off like a nobody everytime he approached her to speak. While contemplating her mistakes, she saw me walk over along with Naruto. "Let's All eat together as a team!" I said with a smile. "Mm" Sakura nodded back happily and we left the classroom to find a shelter to eat in the ground.

We finished our lunch and headed back to the academy and watched as all the other squads left with their sensei one by one. 'Kakashi never changes. He always shows up with a lame excuse for being late speaking with Obito which he thinks is dead.Naruto then got up and walked towards the board, picked a duster up and set it between the door frame and the door."Naruto that's not going to work on a jonin" Sakura commented. I just shrugged.

I called Sakura and said "You see, whenever there is a team, even the smallest of actions are planned together by the team, now imagine our sensei walking through that door, and the duster falls on him just think what would his first thought be as he analyses the situation, obviously we both not supporting Naruto in the decision, On the other hand if we all laugh together or mock at him at the same time, that would undoubtedly be a result of team work, you see the first few missions we do before the chuunin exams are all to improve our team work so the thing in which we need to impress our sensei is also teamwork".

Sakura just nodded understanding what I said without retorting. "Now we should start laughing the moment the duster hits the floor, if it hits his head that is. If it misses, we should scorn at the failure at the same time, understood?" I told Sakura. "Mmm" Sakura nodded. And the wait began.
