They made eye contact and Naruto felt his face flush but he pushed a bright smile in her direction only to be shunned. He groaned internally throwing himself back in his seat with an outward huff. He was never good with girls; maybe it was because he never understood them as they seemed to keep all their emotions inside or let out so many emotions that you were never which one is the real one. Aya seemed like the type to keep everything locked away. If there was one thing Naruto didn’t understand… it was that. Why keep your emotions bottled up?

His mind finished wondering as the sensei entered the room with a line of Chuunin following him in. Naruto perked up in his chair with a serious look on his face. Today was the day! The day he was assigned a sensei and determined whether he passed or failed as an Academy student and became an official Genin. The blonde’s cheeks puffed out as he held his breath listening to the teams being announced off one by one and assigned to their perspective Senseis. It was no surprise that the young man could barely hold still, excited about his chance to take another step forward.

“Naruto Uzumaki.” The announcer called out and the boy jumped to his feet with excitement.

“Sasuke Uchih.” Naruto’s eyes expanded as he turned his head, his attention landed on the Uchih clan’s only living member as he rose to his feet in a nonchalant ‘I don’t care manner’. This ticked Naruto off inside, why didn’t this guy CARE?! This was the NEXT STEP! And an important one at that and this guy looked like he didn’t care at all! Something about that made the young man’s blood boil and he opened his mouth bark at the young man before the announcer called out their third partner.

“Aya Shi,” was the final announcement that moved from the lips of the man at the front of the class and Naruto’s head jerked towards the girl. This was surprising! The three orphaned children together in a group… “And your Sensei will be Kakashi Hatake.” Now that left Naruto stunned. There wasn’t a single person in the Village Hidden in the Leafs who didn’t know who Kakashi Hatake was and… and… he’s walking out of the room already! Scampering quickly, the blonde haired boy hurried to follow his new sensei out of the room hearing his fellow teammates following behind him.
