Chapter 2

                                    

                                          
Some months had passed in the academy and the final exams were at hand. Although before that the entire village was hit with the news that Sasuke Uchiha was actually a girl. It came as a shock to everyone - except Naruto and Shikamaru who had somehow figured it out. The girls were devastated, especially Sakura Haruno who was the most hardcore Sasuke fan. Eventually they all came to terms with it and moved on. Naruto was fast asleep emulating the very person he was sitting next to. Choji was eating chips absentmindedly - as usual and paid no attention to his friends. Satsuki walked into the class and was surprisingly late. Entering the class although it was still awkward she felt relieved in a way. At least she wouldn't have to keep on acting. Kiba greeted her and as he normally did ever since the reveal tried to woo her with his charms. She of course ignored him and took a seat. 
Iruka walked into the class and told them what they were going to be doing that day. The class engaged in a series of physical tests to rank the class and assess their individual progress. They did laps around the field, shuriken and kunai throwing, push ups, sit ups and other stuff. Though most of them looked forward to the spars. They all wanted to prove that they were cut out for the life of a ninja. As usual the match of the day was called. Naruto vs Satsuki. It was always a spectacle to watch. 
They both stood facing each other, and as soon as the match was called they rushed in. Satsuki as always began the fight with a high kick, but Naruto surprised her by catching her foot rather than ducking under. She spun around using her other foot to kick him but he ducked under this time and used her momentum to throw her towards the edge of the circle. She used a fireball to launch herself back at him and he attacked with a very unusual fighting style. He began to use jabs and was forcing openings from her fighting style. Satsuki jumped back and used her Phoenix flower jutsu to distract Naruto. She leapt at him with an axe kick and connected but the Naruto she hit poofed into smoke. The real Naruto appeared behind her about to jab her in the back but her reflexes were sharp and she turned around. Naruto's open palm then landed on one of her breasts, leaving them both still in surprise. Naruto was about to apologize but Satsuki took advantage and tripped him sending him out of the circle. 
"Satsuki Uchiha wins!" Iruka called. Naruto sat there looking at his hand. He wasn't even bothered by the fact that he just lost. 
Satsuki squatted next to him. 
"Sorry for that, I really didn't mean to" Naruto said. 
"It's okay, but you should remember it was a fight. You don't lose focus like that ... though it was understandable" she said as the embarrassment began to show on her face. She felt his smirk growing and her blush increasing. 
"W-what's so funny?" she asked harshly. Naruto just got up and began to head to class. Satsuki growled at his retreating figure before getting up and following him.

The final exams were over and those who passed were assigned to their respective teams. Surprisingly Naruto and Satsuki were on the same team along with Sakura. They were both confused as to why but unbeknownst to them it was a request made from their sensei Kakashi. The other teams had all gone leaving team 7 to themselves. Naruto sat on the wall practicing his chakra control, Satsuki was instructing him on what to do, and Sakura was watching. 
"No not like that you idiot, use less chakra" Satsuki said firmly. 
"Yeah yeah I got it" Naruto snapped back. Naruto dropped down as that moment of distraction made him to expell enough chakra to launch himself into the other side of the class. 
"Ow" he groaned rubbing his now scratched arm. Satsuki sighed and walked over to him.
"I told you, but you're so stubborn sometimes" she said handing him a bandage. 
"I think our sensei is here" Naruto said looking towards the door.
On cue a white haired man with spiky hair walked in. 
"Team 7? Meet me on the roof" he said disappearing. Naruto and Satsuki headed towards the door but Sakura called to them. 
"The stairs are that way"
"We know, we actually had something in mind" Naruto said as they went out. Sakura followed them and saw that Satsuki was already halfway up the wall. She yelped as Naruto picked her up and began to walk up the wall. 
On the roof Kakashi was shocked to see them up the side of the building and was extremely impressed. 
Satsuki sat down and shortly after Naruto and Sakura arrived. She felt a little pang of jealousy seeing Sakura in Naruto's arms. Unbeknownst to herself she was actually growling loud enough for Kakashi to hear. He snickered at the thought. Naruto put Sakura down and sat across Kakashi. Satsuki clicked her tongue and looked away. 
"Hey what's wrong?" Naruto asked. 
"Nothing, now shut up" Satsuki said in a huff. Kakashi began to speak. 
"I'm your sensei, and I'll be in charge of team 7 from now on. Before we get into anything we'll be introducing ourselves"
"Could you give us an example?" Sakura asked much to the surprise of the whole team. 
"My name is Kakashi Hatake. My likes are none of your business, my dislikes are the same. My dreams and hobbies, you don't need to know" he said shrugging. 
'All we got was his name' they all thought. 
"You're up pinkie" he said pointing at Sakura. 
"My name is Sakura Haruno. I like my friends, family and sweets. I dislike perverts, creeps and bad people. My goal is to become a reliable kunoichi in the future"
Kakashi nodded. Not too terrible. He indicated that Satsuki was next and she spoke. "My name is Satsuki Uchiha. I don't like much, except training and the dobe. My goal is one I promise to make a reality, to kill a certain someone and avenge my clan"
Naruto felt a little sad hearing this. She still was adamant about revenge - though he really couldn't blame her. 
Kakashi called out to Naruto and he began. 
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like training, calligraphy, reading books, ramen and my friends. I dislike people who look down on others, and those who judge a book by its cover. My goal is to become the strongest shinobi I can possibly be, and to help a friend accomplish their goal"
Kakashi seemed satisfied with this and told them about the bell test the next day. After that he poofed into smoke. "A clone" Satsuki said annoyed. Sakura bid them goodbye and left for home. Her two teammates sat on the roof in silence. 
"You said something about helping a friend accomplish their goal" Satsuki spoke up. 
"Yeah. I intend on following through with it, even if you see me as a nuisance" Naruto replied turning to her. 
"I can't put you through that ... It's my fight Naruto. You don't have to fight with me"
"I never did say I was going to fight with you. I'm saying I want to be there for you when you're tired, scared, when it seems like everything is against you, when you need a shoulder to cry on. I want to be there with you through it all, that's what friends are for right?" he said putting out his fist. Satsuki smiled bumping his fist. 
"You really are a dobe"
