I sat in the tub, thinking about the events that happened yesterday. Not only were my fantasies fulfilled, but they didn't yell at me. A matter of fact... they seemed to be blushing...

No no, Naruko. You were just imagining things. I stepped out of the tub and wrapped myself in a towel.

"But was I?" I asked myself out loud.

I let out a sigh and got dressed into my orange jumpsuit. I gave my face one last look before henging into my alter-ego, Naruto Uzumaki. Time to go.

I jumped out of my window, enjoying the cool breeze that glided past my face as leaped through the air. Spring is here, but that also means that I'll be twice as busy. People love sending in D rank jobs, and with the results of the Chunin exam not in yet, I might be stuck with those.

I landed on team 7's usual meeting place, the bridge, noticing that I was the first to arrive. The sun is barely peeking over the horizon, indicating that it was around 6:50 AM, meaning that I might have a little while.

Maybe I should've shown up late. Later than Kakashi that is. Then again, they would probably go to the Hokage asking for a replacement by then- not that gramps would give them one.

After about five minutes of waiting, Sasuke and Sakura arrived together. Sakura was basically screeching like a bird and it's not even seven. I mean come on, who has that much energy in the morning?! I literally had to roll out of bed and onto the floor to even make my body move. I guess that's just how the cookie crumbles.

Sakura suddenly looked away from Sasuke and towards me. "Hey look, the idiot's alright. I guess Kakashi-sensei was right about Fox being a prankster."

Naruto mode activate.

"Hehe, she has showed me that I have much to learn," I said, scratching the back of my head.

Sakura rolled her eyes. "Maybe instead of learning from her, you should learn a thing or two from my Sasuke."

Kurama said in a sarcastic tone. Little does Naruko know, Kurama actually meant it.

I snickered a bit at Kurama's tone and Sakura turned red in anger. Before I knew it, my cheek was stinging and Sakura was in front of me.

"What the heck was that for?!" I yelled, totally out of Naruto mode.

Sakura let out an angry huff. "You laughed at my Sasuke, you obviously deserve it. Apologize!"

"I wasn't laughing at your Sasuke," I yelled, Kurama's voice seeping in, my eyes flashing red.

Sakura took a step back, a look of fear entering her face. Sasuke looked at me in concern but I didn't care. I have both of my parents traits. I have the ability to keep my cool in stressful situations, but I also have my mother's rage and I am NOT a morning person.

My nails and teeth began to sharpen, and my vision flashed red. I'm gonna kill her and that stuck up Sasuke Uchiha.

Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Now now my precious Genin. Let's not fight."

Kakashi.

I felt my anger die down and my body began to return to normal.

"Kakashi-sensei, why was Naruto like that?" Sakura questioned.

I let out a very obvious forced laugh and fake smile. "Haha, I've been working on my acting and henge. Got ya fooled, didn't I?" I asked, my smile basically a grimace.

"Looks like you've been practicing," Kakashi stated, ruffling my hair. "Why don't you stop by the Hokage's office and show him your progress."

I nodded, knowing what he really meant was, "Go to the Hokage and have him check your seal." However, I can't do that. Otherwise they'll know that I removed the seal, and that would be no bueno.

"Now, on another note my adorable Genin, the Chunin results will be coming in next week," Kakashi stated. "Report to the Hokage's office next Friday at 10 AM."

"Yes sensei."
