Kakashi
This had been beta’d by the lovely Ankaa Sage!
----------------------
Ino and Sakura started yelling about which one of the two had entered the room first and about Sasuke. Again. However, they both stopped when they saw Naruto sitting next to Sasuke. Ino had the decency to not say anything about it but Sakura just couldn't let her precious Sasuke sit next to the class clown.
"Naruto! Why are you sitting next to Sasuke?! I'm sitting there!" the pinkette yelled despite only being a couple feet away from the blonde.
Naruto it turns, looked at her seat then around her seat before saying, "I don't see you sitting here. I don't see your name anywhere. So tell me, how can you say you're sitting here when I got here first and sat here first?" she quirked a brow and smirked slightly, shocking the people that were actually paying attention to them, namely the rookie nine.
"Because! Sasuke wouldn't want you to sit next to him when I can! Who wants to sit next to the class dead last?" she raised her fisted hand to strike the blonde who gripped her wrist and turned her onto her stomach, arm at her back.
"Raise your hand to me again, I'll do far worse than simply subdue you. You couldn't even protect yourself from the dead last, never mind a fully trained ninja. At this rate, you'll end up dying a pathetic death." her voice became slightly deeper as Kurama tried to have his lessons with her, for thinking her above a jinchuriki.
"Behave you."
Sakura whimpered under Naruto who picked her up and thrust her forwards slightly, making her stumble backwards. "You are a kunoichi, act like it and not a pathetic fan-girl. You'll only get you and your team killed like that. I'm sure Sasuke wants a girl who can look after herself and doesn't require help when it comes to her own safety. Uchiha matriarchs were all kunoichi or trained in kunoichi arts in order to defend their family should something happen when the men are away. Like the nine-tails attack, the men went to protect our home whilst the women protected the children and elderly. Think about that before spewing out nonsense that you're more qualified out of the rest of the kunoichi here. You're not." with that, she sat back down, just as Iruka and a Mizuki clone walked through the doors.
Iruka smiled and gave the same speech he gave the last time as he took out the scroll with all the details, Naruto listened to only the names of the rookie nine.
"Team 7; Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki-" he looked up to see what expression Naruto would have but it was just blank, "-and Sasuke Uchiha." Sakura jumped for joy at this and was clearly happy. Sasuke and Naruto showed no outward reaction. Mizuki shrugged and continued, "Team 8; Hinata Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame. Team 10; Ino Yamanaka, Chouji Akimichi and Shikamaru Nara."
The words and phrases "sweet" "troublesome" "aww" "Yes" "Ruff" and some stuttering could be heard from the individuals who wished to vocalize something.
Iruka took it from there, "Your senseis will be here soon so please wait."
Not long after, the senseis for the other teams that Naruto couldn't remember the names of came and after a half hour Kurenai came for team 8 and Asuma came for team 10, at the same time.
Naruto knew Kakashi wouldn't be here for another two and a half hours and decided to sleep for a bit, dreaming of what her future once was and was suddenly awoken when she felt Kakashi outside the building, making his way inside slowly.
Yawning she stretched and got the eraser and put a seal on it that through chakra that upon impact would release orange powder all over Kakashis hair. She had done something similar in her own time when the man had come to their fourth date late again. The next time he was late she dyed his headband and mask orange. After that, he was never late for her ever again for more than 10 minutes.
Naruto knew why he was late, however putting your life on hold for the dead was hardly the life his late teammates would have wanted him to live. It was actually the reason they had broken things off the first time, he was always late and paid little if any attention to her. After she had avoided him for two weeks consecutively he trapped her in a force field made from her own fuinjutsu seal and kissed the daylights out of her. He then proceeded to kiss all parts of her face, apologizing and asking for her to come back to him. She had made him promise to not act as if the stone would bring back his team. He still went to the stone, she was not heartless to ask that of him, it was a safe haven and she understood, and Kakashi came on time a lot more frequently.
The second time they broke things off was because Kakashi didn't want her going to Mount Myoboku for an unknown time and when she came back, he was dead. When he had been revived they made their way out of the village for a few hours and came back after having made up and more.
She placed the eraser in between the door and its frame for it to fall in his hair and sat back down. He came back in and let it land on his head, clearly not expecting the powdered dye to come off it.
Giggling she asked, "Well sensei? How do you like my fuinjutsu skills? Bet you weren't expecting that, now were ya'?"
Sasuke and Sakura had remained silent during the exchange, Sasuke taking his infamous brooding pose whilst Sakura looking confused.
Eyeing all three of his genin, Kakashi's gaze lingering on the blonde he spoke, "Meet me on the rooftop in five minutes. Don't be late." with that, he poofed there.
"You were the one that was late!" yelled Sakura as Naruto stared at Sasuke.
"Race you to the roof, teme." the two smirked, Sasuke going through the window whilst she shunshined there, shocking Kakashi who was standing and had somehow got the powder out of hair, leaning against the center railing.
"Well looks like we're the only ones here, sensei." for the first time since Naruto came to the past she gave a small, genuine smile to the man and he seemed surprised yet again. It wasn't obvious to just anyone, but she was Kakashi's lover, she knew everything about the man. He looked younger, no wrinkles around his eye that he had in the future from so much smiling and age.
"So it would seem, blondie."
She snorted and walked up to him, leaning up to whisper in his ear, "I wouldn't dis the hair your sensei gave Me." she gave a wink for good measure and sat in the middle of the stairs. Kakashi looked disinterested however he wanted to know how Naruto knew who her father was and how she knew he was his sensei.
"Care to explain why you were avoiding me yesterday?" he asked as he took his i-don't-care pose.
"I thought I was in your way, so I decided to get on with my day without interrupting the Copy Ninja," she replied with such sweetness it reminded him of Kushina, how she was sweet talk Minato whilst her hair parted into nine parts.
He nodded in reply and gave an eye smile, thinking it was the wisest course of action not to upset the daughter of Kushina Uzumaki. He shivered at the mere thought of what the woman would do to him.
His smile, instead of having the effect he had planned, merely seemed to upset her, "If you're not going to smile for real, don't smile at all."
He faltered, "You do the same, Naruto." with that they sat in silence both contemplating what the other had said. No one had ever been able to see the pain behind either one of their smiles, minus the Nara clan heads, i.e. Shikaku and Shikamaru, so having someone close to them that could read them that well was unnerving if not unsettling.
Though, Naruto was simply surprised that this Kakashi paid her enough attention to see the fake smiles she used to give as a child, the same way future Kakashi could, it warmed her heart in a way she knew it shouldn't, this man may never be able to love her the way her Kakashi had.
They were both bought out of their thoughts by the distinct sound of someone landing on the roof. Sasuke.
"Che, who taught you that?" he sat down on Naruto's' right, referring to her use of the shunshin, taking his brooding pose yet again. Naruto's reply came in the form of a cheeky grin and Sasuke immediately remembered Shisui had been the girl's fiance and must have thought her the fundamentals of killing himself. A minute or so after Sakura came, having gone up the stairs.
Had all three of them had their own reasons to keep composure, they would have face palmed. A kunoichi taking stairs to meet her team. There was a lot wrong with that statement when you add the fact she was kunoichi of the year.
She glared at Naruto, most likely for sitting next to Sasuke and leaving her with no choice but to sit next to Naruto.
"Well then. Now that we're all here, let's start introductions. You know, likes, dislikes, dreams."
Sakura raised her hand, "Um sensei, how about you go first as an example."
"My name is Kakashi Hatake. I have many dislikes and few dislikes and my dreams... hmm... Well, blondie you go first now."
All we found out was his name. Thought Sasuke and Sakura.
Typical Kakashi.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like ramen, foxes, wolves, and dogs. I dislike people judging you for something you can't control and the time it takes for ramen to cook. My dream is to be the best Hokage and keep my precious people safe." She looked pointedly at Kakashi when she said that, wanting to scrutinize his expression.
She knew the man had done his homework and that was the reason he was late today. Getting facts about his students after having visited the memorial stone.
Outwardly he showed no reaction but he could practically hear the gears turning in that mind of his. Trying to piece together a complex puzzle that came in the form of Naruto Uzumaki. He didn't have long to do so as he gets to the next person. Sasuke and Sakuras' introductions were the same as before and Naruto hid a flinch when she heard he planned on killing Itachi.
In the future, whenever anyone said anything bad about Itachi she would leek a large amount of killing intent at them and warn them never to speak ill of Konohas' most loyal shinobi. She just had to repeat that he didn't know the truth yet nor did the rest of Konoha.
"Meet me tomorrow 6 A.M. at training ground 7. Oh and I wouldn't eat breakfast if I was you, you'll puke your guts out. B-"
"Wait, sensei!" All eyes turned to Naruto and her sudden outburst. "Um, could I speak to you later today? It's important."
Kakashi's first reaction would have been to say no, however he saw the serious look in his student's eyes and decided against it. Giving an eye smile he replies, "Sure. Where?"
"The yondaimes head." with that she poofed over to her dads head and Kakashi did so a few moments after. "So Naruto, what did you want to see me about?"
"I know that you know I know about my dad being the yondaime hokage. We both also know about the nine tails. I want you to answer one question for me; what happened to Obito and Rin?"
Kakashi's eye bulged out slightly and if you looked carefully you could see the pain hidden beneath the shock. Leave it to Kakashi to hide his pain. Naruto felt a lump to grow in her throat as her heart also ached. It ached for the pain she had caused the man she loves.
Clearing his throat he asked, "How do you know about them?"
"Just answer the question sensei, and I'll answer all your questions after tomorrows test. I look forward to the bell test, by the way."
"Obito died during my first mission as jonin at Kannabi Bridge and Rin died after my Chidori pierced her through the heart." he looked anywhere but at the child of his own late sensei.
"One more thing, did the sandaime ask you to get information out of me?"
He blanched and blinked a few times before scratching the back of his neck, "Well not gather but to be an ear for your secrets. I won't be telling him anything you confide to me unless it regards Konoha's safety such as your seal weakening. Not that that is a possibility since the yondaime himself made that seal."
She nodded slowly with a soft smile on her face that had Kakashi giving her a real smile as well, blush and all.
"He passed then I presume?"
"Yup."
"Is there anything else I can help with? You know I will be asking you a lot of questions after the test, don't you?"
"Oh, I'm sure you will sensei. And thank-you for telling me the truth and not a lie. Oh before I forget, I should mention that I'm a girl and not a boy. If you don't believe me, I'll have to surprise you and strip." with that she shunshined back to her apartment and started practicing her fuinjutsu skills.
.

Kakashi wasn't sure what he should do. He was weighing his options, tell the sandaime that Naruto knew everything or keep it to himself.
But then as he looked at his sensei's name on the memorial stone, he remembered the Hokage faltering in saying something. Perhaps he wished to test the man, see if he could find out this information and what he would do with it.
Naruto knew she was a jinchuriki. She knew who put the demon inside her. She knew the man was her father.
What else does Naruto know? This must be why the sandaime asked me to gather information.
One thing that truly puzzled him, was that he hadn't been told the child of his sensei was a girl and not a boy as most people believed. The number of things that could have gone wrong should he pass them or even whilst he tested them... The one thousand years of death came to mind at that moment and he felt chills from the mere thought that he might have ended up using it on a girl.
That kind of thing could be taken as an assault.
And you did not want to assault the daughter of Konoha's yellow flash and red hot habanero. Both were considered as demons, Minato because of his reputation during the third way against Iwa and Kushina because of her vast chakra reserves and for the demon she held.
He dared not think what the nine-tails would do to him if he did that to the demons current vessel.

Naruto woke up late the next day, 7 A.M. Right now, Sasuke and Sakura would be in the training fields waiting for Kakashi. Well, most likely only Sakura. Last night before going to bed, Naruto had sent a message via toads to both her teammates letting them know to eat and that it won't matter if they're on time since Kakashi will be three hours late again. Sasuke would listen to her since she would never do something to jeopardize their passing whilst Sakura would most likely ignore her message. Listening to what Kakashi had suggested and not what was the wiser option. Another thing she included was that if the test was the bell test, they would have to work together in order to pass.
Hopefully, Sasuke listened, at least then Sakura would listen to reason if he asked.
Getting out of bed she made breakfast, did some warm-ups, did some push-ups and other exercises to increase her strength and endurance before heading off to training ground 7 at 8:45 A.M.
She met with Sasuke on the way, since they both lived in the same area, they decided to walk together, without actually verbally saying anything.
"How did you about Kakashi? And the test?" He asked as he glared at the civilians glaring at Naruto. He was the last loyal Uchiha, or so he thought, and it was his duty to keep people away from the girl who would have been his cousin-in-law, who he would have seen almost all day with her being on his team and Shisui always being around his brother.
"Kakashi was the student of the yondaime Hokage who was the student of Jiraiya of the sannin who was the student of the sandaime who was the student of the shodaime and nidaime. The sandaime gave the legendary sannin the bell test who gave the yondaimes team the same test, and he gave his genin team, Kakashi senseis team, the bell test as well. He' most likely to give us the bell test as well. There will be two bells and three of us. It's to pit us against each other so teamwork is key. Without us working together there will be no way to get the bells from him or to pass this test." She looked at Sasuke with the corner of her eyes and saw he was nodding slightly, understanding.
Kakashi, you will be in one heck of a surprise with me on this team.
