Iruka couldn't say anything against that. Naruto was right. He could have easily killed them. He wondered why the boy had changed so dramatically.
"Well, sit down, Ino and Sakura, we will start with the team placements." Iruka said.
Grumbling the two girls took seats, ironically on both sides of Sasuke.
Iruka gave his class a speech how proud he was of them for graduating and how the real life of ninjas now waited for them. He told them to do their best and then proceeded to read out the teams.
"…, team seven, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno,…" with that Sakura's head crashed onto the table and Ino mocked her "…and Sasuke Uchiha." Sakura cheered.
"Take that Ino Pig. True love conquers all." She shouted loudly only to be hit with a senbon again. This time in her shoulder. She turned around to shout at Naruto only to be paralysed again.
"Don't worry, that will take five minutes to wear off again. You can continue Iruka sensei." Naruto said, shaking his head at Sakura's idiocy. He had told her to first take out the senbon.
Iruka just shook his head and wondered about the display of accuracy from Naruto. That point was where normally a vein was. Did he know anatomy that well? He hadn't shown anything like that before.
"Team eight, Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame." Iruka said and the three looked at each other. "Team nine is still active, so team ten are Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka."
"What? Why do I get the lazy ass and the one who only eats when forehead girl gets to be on Sasuke's team?" She ranted, only to be hit with another senbon into her hip.
She grabbed the senbon and pulled it out and turned angrily to Naruto. But she couldn't even start her rant because she was paralysed.
"Better. Three minutes, at least she remembered to take out the senbon quickly." Naruto commented.
"Naruto, please refrain from paralysing your comrades." Iruka admonished him.
"Why should I? And I only use the term comrades very loosely with most of the class." Naruto said. "You don't honestly expect me to treat them any different than they did me all those years? If you did, forget it! I have had it with the shit!" Naruto stated.
Iruka was worried. Naruto clearly bore a strong dislike for most of the class. It was understandable, but why did he show it now? Was the fox taking over?
"Hah, what could a dead last like you do to us?" The son of a shop owner that always kicked Naruto out asked.
Naruto answered by vanishing from his seat and holding a kunai to the boy's throat.
"Don't underestimate me. You know nothing about me. I dare you to live one day of my life. You will want to kill yourself. You are not even close to strong enough to get through." Naruto said in a low voice.
"Naruto, that's enough." Iruka shouted.
"He asked for it." Naruto answered and vanished again to return to his seat.
In his seat Sasuke was seething. How could the dead last have those abilities? Only he, an Uchiha should have them. He was the Rookie of the Year. Normally Sakura would have yelled at Naruto to stop trying to be cool, but she couldn't, the poison still worked. Then Ino's paralysis stopped. She first wanted to yell at him, but thought better of it and sat down. Twice having been hit with senbons and being paralysed was enough. And Naruto would obviously do it again if he felt they were too loud.
Half an hour after the other teams had been taken by their jonin senseis team seven still sat in the classroom. Sasuke was busy glaring at Naruto, Sakura was mooning over Sasuke and Naruto was drawing in a notebook. He was working on a new seal and everything was better than having to deal with his so called team-mates. Then the door opened and a silver haired man with gravity defying hair came in. Naruto looked up. He recognized the man. He was the jonin he had copied the shadow clone jutsu from. He was Kakashi Hatake, one of the best jonin in the village. His dad's old student. It seemed like the Hokage had kept his word and given him a sensei who wouldn't hate him for the fox. Kakashi had to know about sealing and perhaps he even knew that he was the Yondaime's son.
"Hm, my first impression, you are boring. Meet me at the roof in five minutes." He said and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Sasuke and Sakura stood up and walked out of the room. Naruto waited a moment and then followed. If there were traps on the way, the two idiots would trigger them. He would stay alert. It was always better to be on guard and over the years it had become second nature to him. He heard cursing in front of him. Obviously Kakashi's lateness had had a reason. True to his suspicions, Sakura was trapped in a sling of ninja wire around her feet and dangling from the ceiling. Sasuke was pinned to the wall with two shuriken through his sleeves.
"You really should listen better. I told you to always be on guard. There were only a few reasons our sensei would be late and preparing a small test with traps was one of them." He said. He threw a kunai at the wire that held Sakura in the air and made her fall to the ground. "Get the bastard freed and follow me." He said and walked on.
On the way he lazily disabled two more traps. Then they reached the door to the roof. Naruto carefully checked for more traps on the door and found none. He opened it a little bit, only for Sakura shoving him out of the way being impatient. She shouted they would be late. Naruto threw himself down when he felt projectiles coming at them. Sasuke, who had seen that there would be traps to expect, followed Naruto's example. Both avoided being hit.
