Naruto : I Aspire To Become Hokage Man

---

At that moment, Iruka walked into the classroom with a roster in hand and tapped on the blackboard.

"Congratulations! From today onward, you are independent shinobi. Though you're just rookie Genin, you'll be forming three-man squads under the guidance of a Jōnin," Iruka announced.

Hearing this, Ino leaned over to Sakura and whispered, "I wonder who Naruto will end up with. Sasuke is good-looking, sure, but he's so cold. Naruto's way more fun~"

"Who knows?" Sakura replied, her mind already racing. Damn it! I have to be in Naruto's team!

Meanwhile, Sasuke scoffed. "Hmph, except for Naruto, the rest of you are just dead weight."

Naruto shot up from his seat. "Sensei! I wanna be with Hinata!"

Hinata: "Huh?" Thud. She passed out.

Iruka sighed. "Get out! Sit down!"

"Honestly, you guys have been out of control all day," he grumbled before continuing, "Alright, the teams! Team 7—Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke!"

"YES!!" Sakura jumped up excitedly, her mind practically screaming: He's mine, all mine!! Wahahahaha!

Hinata, on the other hand, looked devastated. I'm not on Naruto's team…

Ino glared at Sakura's smug expression, her fists clenched. Damn it! How could this happen?!

Shikamaru, watching all this unfold, sighed. "Tch, what's so great about that idiot? Women…"

"You don't get it, Shikamaru," Ino snapped, rolling her eyes.

Shikamaru leaned back lazily. "And you do? Whatever, I don't care."

Ino facepalmed. "This is why girls don't like you. I just hope I don't get stuck with someone like you in my team."

Iruka called out the next team. "Team 10—Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Chōji!"

Shikamaru smirked. "Looks like what you want doesn't matter, huh?"

"Son of a—!" Ino fumed.

Then she turned to Iruka. "Sensei! Why are Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun in the same squad? Can't we separate the two handsome guys?"

Iruka's eyebrow twitched. "Naruto was dead last in the class. Sasuke was first. The teams were balanced based on skill. This was the only way."

Naruto, seeing Ino's frustration, grinned. "Don't worry, Ino, I'll still come hang out with you."

Ino brightened up. "Really? You better keep that promise, Naruto~!"

Shikamaru just shook his head. "Women."

That Afternoon

Sakura lay on her desk, groaning. "Ugh, why is our Jōnin sensei the only one who's late?"

Naruto, who had been spacing out, suddenly smirked and lifted Sakura's chin with his finger. "Wanna do something naughty while we wait?"

Sakura's face turned red. "Pfft—Stop that! Sasuke's right there!"

A second later, Naruto dragged her over to the window and started folding paper shuriken, tossing them out one by one.

Sakura's eye twitched. This is what he meant?!

"Idiot!" She smacked him on the head.

Sasuke scoffed. "Morons."

Suddenly, Naruto had a better idea. He took an eraser, then swapped it with a wooden log using the Substitution Jutsu before transforming it back into an eraser and placing it above the door.

Sakura frowned. "Naruto, what are you doing?"

Naruto grinned mischievously. "Just a little prank, hehe."

Sasuke sighed. "Tch. As if a Jōnin would fall for such a basic trap."

At that moment, the door swung open.

BAM!

A silver-haired man in a mask and headband covering one eye crouched down, holding his head. "???"

Kakashi Hatake froze. Wait a minute. Wasn't that just an eraser?!

Originally, he had planned to act cool and let it hit him to seem unfazed, but—why did that hurt like hell?!

Sakura immediately shifted blame. "Sensei, I tried to stop him! It was all Naruto!"

Kakashi rubbed his head and sighed. "How do I put this… my first impression of you guys is… terrible."

Sakura turned to Naruto, seething. "Naruto, you absolute—!"

Rooftop Meeting

Up on the school rooftop, Kakashi faced them. "Alright, introductions. Say what you like, what you dislike, dreams for the future, hobbies—that kind of thing."

Sakura raised a hand. "Shouldn't you go first, sensei?"

Kakashi shrugged. "Me? My name's Hatake Kakashi. I don't feel like telling you what I like or dislike. As for my dreams… I have a lot of interests."

Sakura deadpanned. "So… we learned nothing except his name."

Naruto grinned. "Alright, I'll go first! My name's Uzumaki Naruto! I like Hinata, Izumi, Ino, Sakura, Tenten, Hanabi—"

"NEXT!" Kakashi cut him off immediately.

"Huh?! But I wasn't done!" Naruto pouted.

"Yes, you were. Next!" Kakashi said firmly.

Sakura sighed and started her intro. "I'm Haruno Sakura. My likes…"

She snuck a glance at Naruto, only to see him lazily counting ants.

Her eyebrow twitched. Why do I get the feeling Naruto is getting dumber?

Sakura cleared her throat. "My interests—"

She glanced at Naruto again.

…He was now picking his nose.

She gritted her teeth. "My dream—"

Naruto suddenly perked up. "Oi! Hey, Hinata!" He waved at a distant figure.

SMAAACK!

"BASTARD NARUTO! PAY ATTENTION!" Sakura yelled, punching him.

Sasuke just scoffed. "Idiots."

Kakashi sighed. "What a pain."

Finally, it was Sasuke's turn. He crossed his arms and said, "My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I don't particularly like anything, and I hate a lot of things."

Naruto leaned over. "Oi, you like ramen? We could grab some later."

Sasuke ignored him.

"How about barbecue? We could invite Hinata and the others."

The vein on Sasuke's forehead twitched. "I have an ambition, not just a dream. I will revive my clan—"

Naruto grinned. "Ohh, you're gonna be a stud and make a bunch of little Uchihas? Guess I should help you out and take care of Izumi, huh?"

Sasuke's eye twitched violently. "Are. You. STUPID?!"

Naruto just shrugged. "Not my fault you need help, bro."

Sasuke clenched his fists. "Forget reviving my clan! I have another goal—I will kill a certain man with my own hands!"

Naruto smirked. "Damn, chill, Sasuke. You sound like you're into some serious family drama."

Kakashi pinched the bridge of his nose. "I already have a headache from you three…"
