Chapter 52: Team 7 introductions
(Naruto's PoV)
I looked out of the window, waiting for my Jonin-sensei to arrive.
I am finally a ninja officially!
This means that I will be able to go outside the village, and get pets for Shiori-chan.
Apparently, 12 years ago, a big fox appeared in the village, killed a lot of people, and the Fourth Hokage, my father, and my mother died fighting it. And the people say that Dad killed it.
So, I should hate the fox, right?
"To the Kyuubi, we are like ants and mosquitoes. When mosquitoes and ants bite you, you kill them. Thinking of this way, don't you think that you are big bad evil?
And anyway, he was being controlled. The village was in the wrong for trapping him, especially the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha who captured him in the first place.
You shouldn't hate him."
Shiori-chan made me understand, so I don't blame the Kyuubi. Instead, the person that who controlled it should be blamed.
And well, here is the thing.
Even though the people think that the Fourth Hokage killed Kyuubi, I know that Kyuubi didn't die, and somehow escaped.
Just like Shiori-chan, I often have prophetic dreams too. In it, I see Kyuubi, trapped in a cage, feeling lonely.
So, I have decided. I will free Kyuubi from the bad man's cage that used it to kill Mom and Dad, and bring him to home.
Shiori-chan likes big pets, that's why she has built a very large garrage in the palace.
She often pets the cats when she thinks that nobody is looking. So, how good will she feels by petting the big fox?
She is the only one who has given me so much all my life. So, I should be able to give her a gift too, right?
The bigger, the better, right?
Well, I will need to become stronger than Dad first for being able to do it.
Kakashi Hatake is Guy-sensei's eternal rival, the copy ninja who knows a thousand jutsus.
So, I am going to learn a lot of jutsus from that guy.
Afterall, he must be strong!

(3rd PoV)
As soon as Naruto thought that, Kakashi entered the room, his back punched, and looking every bit of uninterested, bored, and weak.
To Naruto, he didn't really look that strong. But, appearances can be deceiving.
Afterall, First Hokage looks stupid. Though, he wouldn't be, right? Afterall, he is the First Hokage who ended the Warring Clans Era, and no person stronger than him has appeared until now after his death.
He can't be stupid even though he looks like one.
"Alright. Though you all don't seem that impressive, come to the roof."
Kakashi disappeared, and as soon as he appeared at the roof, Naruto also arrived just a moment later.
'So he can already walk on walls, and well, Guy has taught him Body Flicker.'
Kakashi was relieved that he wouldn't have to teach basic things. It seems that Shiori has taught him some basic things, otherwise he would rather hand it to Ebisu.
He isn't good at teaching, and even got the Shadow Clone training method while guarding Naruto.
After a while, Sasuke and Hinata also arrived. And judging by Sasuke's face, he was shocked by Naruto's speed, and moreover, how he was able to run on wall.
With his Sharingan, he noticed that Naruto was sticking to the wall instead of just running up.
And he was jumping as well.
'So Naruto didn't ever go at me with full power?'
Sasuke realised that the gap between him and Naruto was only getting larger and larger. Now, even his two-tomoe Sharingan couldn't even trace Naruto's taijutsu easily.
He sighed. Even though he became Rookie of the Year, it was because Naruto isn't good at theory, just average, and that the maximum marks for everything is just 100.
The education system sucks.
Hinata didn't say anything, and just sat down like Sasuke.
Sasuke scooted away from her, making her depressed.
Kakashi saw all this, and realised that this team is going to be troublesome.
"Alright, how about you guys introduce yourselves?"
Naruto flashed a business smile, and handed Kakashi his business card.
"I am Uzumaki Naruto, the co-chair of Uzumaki conglomerate. Nice to meet you."
"Sasuke Uchiha."
"H-Hinata Hyuga."
Kakashi wanted to ask them to tell more about what they like, dislike and stuff, but,...
'Oh well.'
"I am Kakashi Hatake-"
----------------------
Naruto filtered out Kikasha bla bla'ing and putting on a show, and got the gist of the situation.
Apparently, they need to pass his test tomorrow to officially become Genins, or they would be sent back to the academy.
The test will be tomorrow at 7 in the morning, and they are suggested to not have breakfast so that they don't puke.
Well, 'suggested'. Not ordered.
So, Naruto is going to come after eating breakfast.
Well, he doesn't puke. Afterall, he digests food super fast, and is used to intense training.
After Kurashi-sensei left, Naruto also left towards the Civilian Council. Shiori-chan is going to be there.
