Naruto:The Yajuu Sannin

The day after the incident in the library, she had woken up with the small scroll clenched firmly in her hands. She had no recollection of how she had acquired it, and when she asked her father about it, he claimed to have no knowledge of any scroll.

The first time she opened it, she had felt the same feeling that the horned figure had given off in the room. Of course, she immediately wanted to be rid of it. However, no matter how many times she tried, the thing kept coming back in perfect condition. She had originally thrown it out of her window, only to find it later that night on her desk. Not one to give up, she had buried, burned, and ripped it apart, but it always kept reappearing fully in tact later that day.

It disturbed her to no end. It was like some cursed object she couldn't rid herself of. When she tried to show her father, his eyes seemed to fog up and he would act as if he had no idea what she was talking about. It was supernatural and she did not like it.

What truly irritated her was whatever the scroll was trying to tell her, it was doing a poor job of it. No matter what she did, the scroll remained blank. She had tried to read it when she was alone, with the byakugan, and even back in that accursed room. Every time, it remained as blank as the day she opened it. She shot it one last glare before picking up her kunai pouch and left the room.

As she walked out, she bumped into the Hyuuga's clan's little ball of fire. "Good morning nee-chan!" While Hanabi was as serious as her father during spars, the moment she stepped out of the dojo, she was a bustling little firecracker of energy.

"Sooo," she drawled, leaning in towards her sister, "Did you deliver your gift last night?"

Hinata's face flushed crimson as she nervously began tapping her fingers. "I-I-I-I don't know what you're talking about."

Hanabi held her cocky smile, as she placed her hands on her hips. "You can't lie to me nee-chan. You may have told Ko you were just out training, but I saw what direction you were heading. Right towards Na-"

Hinata slapped her hand over Hanabi's mouth as her head whipped back and forth to make sure they were alone.

"Please don't talk about that here," she pleaded.

The young girl rolled her eyes. Literally everyone knew about Hinata's crush. She didn't understand why the need to keep it so hush-hush. Apparently the only ones still oblivious to the fact were her father and the blonde boy in question.

"Got it nee-chan," she said after Hinata removed her hand. "Well, I just wanted to wish you good luck with your team assignments."

She held her hand to her forehead in a mocking gesture. "Who knows, maybe you will be paired off with that dashing Naruto-kun. It will be like a dream come true."

Hinata shot her sister her patented side-eye, clearly not amused by her joke. She still gave her a short hug before she made her way out of the house. Hanabi sighed as she watched her sister go. Her handler always tried to persuade her that she was the stronger of the two sisters, but she wouldn't hear any of it. She admired her sister's fierce determination, and, no matter what father said, Hinata was a stronger kunoichi than she would ever be.

While she had been teasing, she really did hope that Hinata was placed on the same team as her crush. It would do her some good by forcing her into his presence, for everyone knew she would never make the first move herself. Shaking her head, she headed off towards the kitchen, hoping to sneak off with a cinnamon roll before she had her morning katas.

Sasuke paused as he entered the mostly empty classroom to see the blonde boy dozing off in the front row. He just didn't know when to quit. Even after failing for the third time, he still had the gall to show up at the graduation ceremony. He passed him without a word as he claimed his seat in the second row next to the window.

Over time, more and more of his classmates trickled in, each shooting the blonde the same confused look.

Finally, Shikamaru arrived and paused in front of the blonde. He tapped his knuckles on top of the boy's head waking him up. "Naruto, don't you think this is getting a little sad. This is for graduates only, not dropouts." Sure it was harsh, but it was time for the blonde to start facing reality.

The boy yawned before erupting in a smile and tapping at his own hitai-ite. "I know it's for graduates. That's why I'm here."

"Well what do you know? You actually did it." The pineapple haired boy fought a smile from forming on his face.

"You know it," the blonde beamed.

Shikamaru shook his head, noticing the blonde's new clothes, before muttering 'troublesome' and walking up the stairs to take his seat next to Chouji.

Hinata had blushed when she had seen the boy already dressed in the clothes she had left for him. She was happy to know that the blonde liked her gift. She had given him a grey long sleeve shirt and navy short sleeve hoodie along with two pairs of pants. One dark orange and one grey. She thought he looked quite handsome, and tried to stop a blush from creeping up her face.

After several minutes Iruka finally walked into the room and took his place in front of the class.
