Haku was glad to have a friend like Naruto. He bought her new clothes, and even got some for himself, saying that his were getting kinda old and he needed a new image. 

Currently, as they walked down the streets of Konoha, Haku was wearing a pair of lose, black pants with blue lacings as they went down the sides of the pants, with a long sleeved white shirt where the sleeves hid her hands. 

She ditched the bun on the top of her head, and let her black hair come in two stands that still framed her face, and the rest of it lying on her neck and back. Naruto had a pair of baggy black pants that went all the way down to his ankles, where he had on a pair of grey steel toed boots. He had on a short sleeved dark red hoodie that had an Uchiha Crest on the back of it. He also had bandages wrapped around his arms, going from his elbow to his finger tips. 

He had his hoodie on at the moment as he and Haku turned the corner, as they talked. 

". . .and you trained for a whole year by this guy named Danzo?" Haku asked, getting a nod of confirmation from Naruto, who had his hands in his pockets. 

"Sure did, he trained me and taught me more than Kurenai ever did." He grumbled. "All she ever did was teach me how to move along with my teammates." 

"That would be Sasuke-san, and Sakura-san, correct?" Naruto nodded once again, before they heard a loud voice speak. 

"You brat!" A teenage boy's voice was heard yelling. They turned the corner to reveal a boy dressed in all black with two little cat ears at the top of the body suit with white and purple face paint covering his face, making the real pigment of his skin unknown. Behind the boy, was a girl with sandy blonde hair that was put into four buns with a purple long sleeved shirt on, with armor that was on top of said shirt, and a red sash was tied around her waist. She had on a short, black skirt with shinobi shorts under them that couldn't be seen by Naruto or Haku, with a pair of stockings that went down to her sandals. She had a Suna Headband that was around her neck with dark, purple eyes. 

"You just gonna bump into me and not apologize? Time to teach you your betters!" The boy snarled, holding up a boy by his blue scarf, who Naruto recognized as Konohamaru Sarutobi, the 3rd's grandson. Behind the child, was two of what Naruto supposed was his friends. A little girl with her orange hair in two, overly large buns, and a boy who had snot going down his nose like a leaky faucet. 

"How about," Naruto began as he walked forward, gaining the attention of the two Suna shinobi. "You put the boy down, I'd hate for a war to start between our villages, and just because you decided to attack a boy who just went into the academy, who is also the Hokage's grandson." The boy immediately dropped Konohamaru, who landed on his butt and ran away with his friends, not even looking back. 

"A nice thanks." Haku commented sarcastically as she watched the three academy students run away. The teenager decided to glare at Naruto, obviously not happy with how things turned out. 

"And who the hell are you?" Naruto laughed, the bags under his eyes being a little bit more noticeable as he took his hood off, revealing the rest of his grey hair. 

"Me? I'm nobody, just a simple Genin seeing a ninja who has his big boy pants on picking on a boy who just hit 8 years old." The girl grabbed the boy's shoulder, shaking her head. 

"Kankuro, it's not worth it." She said. The one named Kankuro shook her hand off his shoulder, growling at her. 

"Stay out of this Temari, he didn't insult you!" He took off the large, bandaged thing off his back, a sly grin on his face. "How about you say hi to-" He began as the thing began unwrapping, only to stop when he suddenly found Naruto in his face, Naruto's eyes wide as he held a kunai to his neck. 

"Are you really going to try to kill me? Or hurt me in anyway? You're on our turf, and you're threatening our shinobi and citizens, I have every right to kill you." Naruto whispered in a dark tone, his Sharingan activating unconsciously. "So don't tempt me to kill you Suna boy, I would hate to paint your body red with your own blood." 

Kankuro paled as he felt the Killing Intent Naruto was giving off in waves, the way he said those words made every fiber of his being scream run and hide. To be honest, he felt like dying right then and there, just to make this fear go away. 

"I-I'm so-sorry." Kankuro said, putting the bandages thing right back on his back and getting on his knees. "I-I was just upset." Naruto smiled, holding out his hand, the Sharingan gone, replaced by his grey, closed eyes. 

"It's fine. You're entitled to your feelings, it's just how you react that counts." Kankuro carefully grabbed Naruto's hand and was pulled up from his knees. 

"You're weird. First you threaten to kill me, next you help me up." Kankuro commented, a perplexed look on his face. Naruto grinned, pointing at Haku. 

"You see her? We were enemies at first, and now we're friends!" Naruto looked over at Temari, his eyebrows raised. 

"And who are you?" Temari put her hands on her hips, a smirk upon her lips. 

"Temari of the Sand. Daughter of the 4th Kazekage." Naruto shrugged. 

"Cool. I'm Naruto Hatake, son of Kakashi?" He said in a questioning tone. His father may have been famous, but he wasn't really a Kage, so there was no way he was going to trump the girl's boast about being the daughter to the Kazekage. 

Temari's eyes widened at Naruto's statement. 

"THE Kakashi Hatake? Copy Ninja? Kakashi of the Sharingan? The man who knows over 1,000 jutsus?" She exclaimed. Naruto sweat dropped, nodding. 

"Yeah, that one." Temari took back her cool and smirked. 

"Hmph, that's not impressive at all." Naruto rose a finger in the air, his mouth open, before he just gave up, pressing his lips together. 

"I guess?" He stated before Haku grabbed him by the wrist. 

"Come on, Naruto-kun, we have to go to the Hokage's Office remember? Something about you getting a new sensei?" Naruto opened his mouth, remembering the reason they were coming into town in the first place. 

"Oh yeah, well, it was nice meeting you, Kankuro, Temari, hopefully we'll meet in the Chunin Exams!" Naruto called out as he was pulled away. Kankuro crossed his arms, a small frown on his face. 

"I'm going to hate having to go against him if we do attack." Temari sighed. 

"Yeah, me too. He was cute." Kankuro rolled his eyes. 

"Temari, you're fifteen. The kid looks like he just got out of the academy." Temari shrugged as she began walking away. 

"Age doesn't really matter. In ten years, will three or two years be a big difference? Not really. But that fact that he made you piss your cat suit says a lot about how mature he is." Kankuro felt his skin heat up as he glared at his sister's back. 

"I did not piss! And it's not a cat suit!" The puppeteer shouted. 

None of them saw the red haired boy standing in the tree above them, glaring at the spot that Naruto had been standing moments ago. 

"You're blood will make my sand shiver with joy, Naruto Hatake." The red head whispered in a low, monotone voice, before disappearing in the wind as his sand dispersed. 

With Naruto and Haku, in the Hokage's Office

"So, you're requesting for a new sensei?" Hiruzen asked in a confused tone. "Why?" Naruto blushed a little, laughing awkwardly. 

"Well, it's complicated, Hokage-sama. Kurenai and I aren't getting along very well, and I haven't really learned anything. Asuma has issues with me because Kurenai was his girlfriend, and I had a crush on her." The Hokage rose his eyebrow. 

"Had?" Naruto nodded. 

"I realized how foolish I was when I thought I had a chance with being with a woman seven years older than me." Hiruzen nodded. 

"Yes, well, I guess I can grant your request. But what will Sasuke and Sakura do? They will be left alone with a stranger, someone they don't know. Are you willing to give that up?" Naruto frowned, not even thinking about Sasuke and Sakura in the matter. Naruto then had an idea. 

"Hokage-sama, how about this. Sasuke will transfer along with me, and Sakura will be Kurenai's only student, and apprentice really since she has such good control, it would be good with wielding genjutsu. Then, Haku-chan, Sasuke, and I will be given a new sensei, and everybody wins." Hiruzen took a drag out of his pipe, the smoke leaving his mouth as he pawned upon this. 

"Interesting. And who would be this new sensei? It can't be your father due to obvious reasons, you already dislike my son, Kurenai is out of the question obviously, so who?" Naruto thought about it for a second, trying to find a name of a Jonin or something, but coming up with nothing. 

"I don't know, I didn't think I'd get this far." He muttered, making Haku deadpan and the Hokage to burst out into laughter. 

"Didn't think you'd get this far?" Haku said in a low tone, an ice needle in her hand. "What the hell does that mean?" Naruto laughed awkwardly before the Hokage spoke up, causing both of them to be quiet. 

"I have an idea." He began. "I'll be your sensei." Naruto's and Haku's eyes widened at the sudden proclamation of the man. 

"But, Hokage-sama," He began, completely dumbfounded. "Y-you're the Hokage! How can we be trained by you? You already have so much to do!" He protested, but was silenced when Hiruzen held up a hand. 

"You may call me Hiruzen-sensei, or Sarutobi-sensei, whichever is more comfortable." Naruto's jaw hit the ground as he watched the Hokage shed his cloak, revealing himself in his normal, all black attire. "I trained the 3 Sannin, and all but one were failures, and even then, he is barely in the village. It's my turn to start something new, to leave a single success in this world before I leave it forever." 

"Hokage-sama," Haku began, only to stop as Hiruzen met her eyes. "Uh, Sarutobi-sensei," Hiruzen smiled at her. "Why do you truly want to teach us?" Hiruzen smiled softly as he looked at Naruto and Haku. 

"I'm old, I'm not as strong as I used to be. You, Naruto, and Sasuke are the strongest Genin of this village, and you all hold limitless potential. Naruto, with the Kyuubi and Sharingan, you can tame the beast with your Sharingan. Haku, you have the almost extinct bloodline of Ice Release, and training with the Missing Ninja, Zabuza Momochi. Sasuke is part of the Uchiha Clan and also possesses the Sharingan, he also has training from his father and Itachi Uchiha, I want to be able to leave a good legacy behind, instead of a failure." 

"But-" Naruto began, but Hiruzen interrupted the boy. 

"No buts, this is for the best. Don't worry, Naruto, Haku, I will train you to your fullest til my last breath." He said with a smile. 

Well, Naruto, Haku and Sasuke were going to be trained by the God of Shinobi. 

Great. 

And done. How was it? Good? Bad? Tellllll meeeeeeeeeee! 

I like turtles. 

Didn't expect that, didja? Neither did I to be honest. 

Anyways,

Til next time my lil demons!
