Time to gather the team

Naruto followed Ino back into the classroom, where Sakura was already sitting in the front row. Ino looked at her pink haired rival before sitting down, leaving one empty seat between them. She shot a look to Naruto before nodding not-so-subtly at the empty seat. With a groan, he plunked down between them.

They hadn't been waiting more then five minutes before the door slid open again. A woman with long dark hair, red eyes, and an odd attire that resembled a dress made of bandages walked in. She took in the room for a second before grabbing another chair and placing it infront of the three new genin.

"You must be Team Seven." At their nods, she continued. "I'm Yuuhi Kurenai, your new sensei. You are my first genin team, so I hope you go easy on me." She added a smile at that last part, and Naruto had to make an effort to not adjust his pants.

"I've been told that it's customary for all members of the team to introduce themselves." She paused, waiting for them to start.

Naruto asked "Why don't you go first, sensei? We kinda know each other, but you're new to us."

She nodded. "Excellent point, Uzumaki-san. My name is Yuuhi Kurenai, and my specialty is Genjutsu, or illusionary techniques. I've been a jounin for about a year. I like to read and learn new illusions, and I don't like those who are tardy, or chain smoke. I hope that we can all mesh as a team."

Ino took up where Kurenai left off. "My name is Yamanaka Ino, and I'm good with my family techniques. I like flower arranging and Sasuke..." After that last word, she trailed off, drool coming out of her mouth. Naruto snapped his fingers right infront of her face. She jumped and looked around wildly before continuing. "I don't like her!" she pointed at Sakura as she said that, "And I'm not to sure about HIM!" This time her finger was leveled at Naruto. "My hope is that I can..." More drool.

With a sigh, Kurenai indicated Sakura, who began quickly.

"My name's Haruno Sakura, and I'm good with..." she seemed to think for a moment before deciding "Ninja theory. I like Sasuke..." Her stream of drool was even bigger then Ino's, and it took two snaps from Naruto to wake her. "I hate Ino-pig, and Naruto! My hope is..." Again, more drool.

By this time, Kurenai seemed to be begging for an introduction without drool.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and I'm good with clones and ass-kicking! I like ramen and the color orange. I don't like..." he thought for a second before smirking and saying "Sasuke."

Sure enough, two **** glares were immediatly leveled at him. He continued as if he didn't notice them. "My hope is to get stronger as a ninja, and become Hokage!"

Kurenai nodded, seeemingly happy that at least one of her team didn't have a crush on the last Uchiha. "We'll meet up at Training Ground 16 for some basic exercises tomorrow. Now, enjoy the rest of your day!"

All three new genin got up and walked out the door. Naruto wasn't halfway down the hallway when he heard someone calling his name.
