{A few Days Later}

**************************

The cool morning air flows through the shoji walls, hearing the morning birds singing their tune. Trudging forward I ruffle my hair tousling it up, finally finished with my early morning training.

Heading to the bathroom I make my way slowly, feeling quite tired and lethargic for a moment like my energy was instantly drained. Mentally.

Reaching the bathroom I turn on the shower preparing it, while I take off my sweaty training clothes before placing it in a basket of dirty laundry. Stepping in feeling the warm water soaking into my aching muscles, before scrubbing my hair with aloe vera type of hair wash.

After a few minutes feeling drenched enough, I step out before taking my towel quickly drying myself and then changing into my normal ninja clothes.

"What time is it?" I mumble to myself, walking out still drying my damp hair I check the clock in the kitchen. "Okay.....I've got at least thirty minutes....."

Every morning I trained, and pushed past my limits.

Things weren't easy when you train alone, but I knew enough to get by. One day I hope to strive in the same direction big brother is going, seeing him accomplish many things. I envied him as well, wanting to be strong and a leader.

Glancing sideways I notice a small note upon a bento, making me walk over lifting it.

'Just something for you seen I've been noticing that you haven't been eating much, so please eat this? If you want to become strong, and helpful.....eat. Anyway have a great first day of becoming a genin! I'm so proud! Anyway I won't be here for four days, so please eat and rest too.

~ Big Brother Shiro xo

Smiling softly with how kind my big brother was, a small stray tear rolls down. He always made me feel loved, and wanted. Sometimes I wonder without him, would I even be here now? Walking over to the tetsubin, that was warming up before I quickly pour myself some green herbal tea.

Drinking it slowly, my mind drifts off wondering what we will be doing first up. A smile curls upon my lips, I down the rest of my green tea slowly before grabbing my bento and began heading out.

***********************

Reaching the academy I slowly make my way down the hallway, not being able to find Hinata around at the front. Just before I could walk through our classroom, I felt myself being shoved to the side hearing two loud annoying girls quarreling and barreling each other around.

"I'm first!"

"No I'm first!!"

Rolling my eyes I continue walking through the door calmly, wanting to just find my seat. Suddenly just when I walk past the bickering two, a hand grabs my collar tugging me back.

"Of course you graduated!" Ino spat, bitterness lacing her tone. "You even scored a higher grade than Sasuke himself, how dare you insult him!"

Sakura laughs.

"You're too fat to be a ninja! What gives you any right to try now, seriously why does the ugly ones get better results," Sakura adds, which made the two girls agree upon me.

Before I could protest a hand latches around my wrist, pulling me away from the girls before seeing Kiba standing in front of me.

"Just give it a rest Ino, Sakura...." He growls lowly, earning a tiny bark from Akamaru. "She's not fat, maybe you're talking to a mirror........"

Her sky blue eyes widen.

"Wha--?"

Kiba turns to me with a slight scowl across his face, "Come on Cub," he ushers calmly, when I blink a few times.

"Cub?"

He nods.

"Yeah, remember a while ago while training together...." he began. "....and i accidentally called out 'cub' which kind of slipped out?"

Realisation hits me, but my cheeks redden.

"Oh.....erm....yeah?"

He grins, "Well I would like to give you a nickname, seen your big brother calls you Mochi," he sheepishly scratches his cheek. "P-Plus.....it suits you."

Remaining quiet for a moment while walking down the stairs I smile, "Okay, I don't mind," I reply, making him whisper a 'yes' in response.

Before we both could go sit down I hear a large commotion occuring on the other side of the room, turning in the direction, many girls were screaming and shouting towards each other. Narrowing my eyes in annoyance, I went to go when Kiba stops me.

"Don't worry, they're just fighting over Sasuke as always," Kiba tries to assure me.

Suddenly everyone fell dead silent, making me turn only to see a weird sight. Both Sasuke and Naruto were kissing, full on the lips accidentally.

Blinking a few times, I quietly swallow gently.

The boys pull away rather quickly wiping their mouths, and sputtering and groaning with pure disgust. Soon the girls begin to become worked up, causing my feet to trudge over ignoring Kiba's pleads. Soon as i reach them I block them away from the boys, folding my arms.

Narrowing my eyes I raise my index finger releasing a small of chakra energy aura around me, causing the girls eyes to widen realising it was time to head back to their desks. This was a trick handed down by my grandfather, even Shiro uses it which was even more intimidating than my own.

Clicking my front teeth, my eyes remain upon them.

"I would suggest piping down, all of you," I suggested. "Today is a new morning, a new start to being genin. So......could we please just get along?......am I clear?"

They all nod seeing the dark glint behind my eyes.

"Y-Yes!"

Finally undoing my chakra, I finally let my body relax before heading to Kiba and Hinata which I notice within the class. Walking over I could sense the girls glaring upon Naruto mainly, which to my surprise realising he was here. A headband was wrapped around his forehead, noticing he's a genin.

"Did he pass?" I whisper under my breath, not fully understanding on how he passed.

{Meanwhile}

*****At Hokage's office*****

Kurenai's pov:

"Most promising new students, Sasuke Uchiha.....is that him?"

Lord Third nods, as we watch from a spherical ball seeing the children.

"Yes he's the one," he replies.

Sighing deeply, "he's the only survivor left from the Uchiha clan," I comment, gathering from what I've heard.

"That's right," Lord Third says, as we continue to watch how Naruto and Sasuke behave around each other. Soon we saw the two boys accidentally kiss, before trouble breaks again.

A heavy sigh leaves Lord Third's lips, while blowing through his pipe.

"As usual, Naruto is always right in the middle of some kind of trouble," the third hokage comments dryly.

Just before anymore trouble was caused a girl steps in, seeing her hair is pure white like snow. She wore a fur collar, with navy blue clothes. Soon when I got a better glimpse of her face, red markings were displayed on either side of her cheeks and her chin.

Soon she poses a warning stance, which was an unfamiliar move to me. The immense chakra soon was released, seeing her hair flying everywhere with a stern glint in her eyes.

I sense potential in her.

"She's a tough one to speak too," Lord Third spoke up, causing me to lift my head.

"In what way, Lord third?" I question, seeing his eyes held deep sadness.

"Same as Sasuke Uchiha, her entire family was massacred," He begins, as my eyes slightly widen. "You've heard about it, only her big brother and herself were the only survivors of the Senju Clan. No one knows the murderer behind the attack, but they were able to slip through our security force."

"Could it be someone from this village?" Asuma assumes, but Lord Third shook his head.

"Besides this girl is holding back her true power, even so young.......I can see she's afraid," He continues, feeling my heart ache for a moment. "But.......seeing her throw that familiar move then, reminded me of Lord second....my former sensei."

I furrow my eyebrows.

"Why pull that move? Doesn't it drain your chakra?" I question, when he shook his head.

"Well this technique is made up into two parts, number one: Intimidation..." he began, lifting his hand with one finger up. He then lifts his second, ".....two: It can be the Tenkyu jutsu, a water jutsu that transforms into needles. This justu doesn't drain when it's for one."

Starting to understand, my hand rests upon my hip.

"I think she will become chunin quite quickly," Kakashi comments, making me turn to him.

"How so?"

"Well her older brother was born with talent like mine, and he was my student six years ago," He replies, as my eyes widen.

"Your first student to pass, actually," Asuma chuckles, shoving his hands into his pockets. "But Shiro is quite a shinobi......."

Lord nods in agreement.

"He is quite like Lord Second himself, but he also has alot on his shoulders," He adds. "He's raised Kimi since their family was murdered, but the two have a strong connection......."

Smiling softly about the sibling love, made my stomach churn.

"So.......Kurenai......what do you think of Kimi?" Lord Third questions me, making me blink a few times. "Do you think you could add her to your team? I mean.....you have three already...but is she able to jo--"

"Of course......we need some balance I think, due to the rest being sensory type like her," I reply confidently, as my eyes trail upon the spherical ball with Kimi in view. "We need some physical strength in our group too, and she has both sensory and physical qualities."

He nods in response.

"Right, well.........I put her in your hands,"

Nodding I smile gently seeing her sit down, looking a little dazed.

"Thank you,"

******At The Ninja Academy******

"Alright! As of today you are all ninja's, to get here you have faced difficult trials and hardships," Iruka-sensei begins, while looking across the room.

A smile curls upon his lips.

"But that's nothing. What comes next will be far more difficult. Now, you are only genin. First level ninjas, and all the genin will be grouped into three man squad and one group of four and in a squad will be lead by higher jonin. An elite ninja."

"Wha--?"

"Wait what?"

Soon after a few seconds the two girls, Ino and Sakura began to argue about who will be with Sasuke. Leaning forward, I prop my elbows up resting my face against my palms.

Why do they like Sasuke so much, he doesn't even reciprocate those feelings?

"We want each squad to have a balance of strengths and abilities," Sensei informs us "So that's how we set them up, and now I will announce the squads."

He lifts up the sheets in hand, ready to announce the squads.

He begins going through the squads for a moment, not hearing my name yet. After a few minutes, "Next will be squad eight, Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame and Kimi Senju. It was specific from the Hokage on why there is an extra person on the squad, which the reasons are confidential."

A small groan leaves Shikamaru's lips.

"What? I wanted her on my team," Shikamaru sighs, lazily resting his head against his palm.

"Squad ten, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi," He announces.

Hinata turns to me timidly.

"I'm glad you're on my team," She quietly admits, making me warmly smile.

"Same here,"

"Those are all the squads," Sensei clarifies, making me turn to him before seeing Naruto stand up slightly annoyed.

"Iruka-Sensei! Why does a great ninja like me have to be in the same group with a slug like Sasuke?!" Naruto questions, pointing rudely at Sasuke.

Iruka teasingly thinks to himself, even though I could tell he knew the answer.

"Hmm Sasuke had the second best scores of the graduating students, Naruto you had the worst scores," Iruka explains, hearing the girls laughing. "To create a balanced group, I put the best student with the worst student."

"Iruka-Sensei? Who is the top student then?" Someone questions.

"Aren't you stupid, it's Kimi!" Someone calls.

"What? But she is a girl!"

My face was burning red burying my face into my desk, humming with a heavy sigh following along.

"Tch, all of you are such a drag.....just leave her alone!" A familiar lazy ninja calls out, in annoyance.

Lifting my face up, I chew on my lip.

I hear Kiba chuckle, "At least I have her on my team!" Kiba boasts proudly, grinning widely baring his canines.

"Why do you seem so proud? It's not like you're the strongest here," Shino questions bluntly, simply ridiculing.

Scowling at the boys, "Knock it off you two,"

Iruka-Sensei claps his hands together, "Anyway everyone, you all may be dismissed!" he announces. "After lunch you will meet your new jonin teachers!"

****************

Hinata gazes in awe seeing the bento my big brother made for me, as she bites into her ogniri. "Wow, that looks so good.........I wonder what Big Brother Shiro's cooking taste like?" She comments, while I lift up a rice ball in hand.

Grimacing slightly.

Kiba's head perks up, "What's the matter?" he questions. "You gonna eat?"

He munches into his bento.

Chuckling softly, "Well my big brother doesn't cook very well, last time he cooked for me," I began, earning the groups attention. "He accidentally put dishwashing liquid into a bowl of soup by accident.........."

"Ew..........what else has he done?" Kiba questions eagerly, suddenly interested with my big brother's cooking failures.

Humming to myself while gazing up to the cherry blossoms above us.

"Well one time he overcooked our noodles, and another he accidentally set our old apartment on fire," I begin to list, but it made me smile at least.

"So you cook instead?" Shino quietly assumes, making Kiba jump in surprise.

"Damn didn't you see there Shino!"

"Seriously Kiba? You have a nose that can smell anything, and you didn't sense me?" Shino mutters, slightly disappointed with his quiet presence.

Nodding in response, I smile.

"Yeah, I usually make him his own bentos before missions," I reply. "Sometimes he would get takeaway.......but it's better than having liquids that aren't edible."

"Wow, I must try your cooking one day," Hinata spoke up, her voice was so soft and gentle.

"Well I'm happy to get you to try, I'm not the best......."

An arm wraps around my shoulder seeing Kiba grinning, "Let me come too one day! I wanna try too!!!"

My face instantly went red with how close he was, not really a clinging type of person. He pulls away and resumes eating, as I bite into the rice ball.

Smiling nervous while chewing slowly, the rice wasn't fully cooked and he put too much salt. Swallowing it down, I grinned sucking it up slowly eating my bento. Soon my eyes lift up to the quiet insect shinobi, seeing him quietly eating.

"Hey Shino....."

He lifts his attention to me.

"Hmm?"

"I'm glad you're on our team," including him into our group, not noticing his ears tinted red.

"I-I guess.....thank you," he quietly replies, before resuming his bento.

{TimeSkip}

******************

"Hello everyone, I'm Kurenai Yuhi.....but call me Kurenai-Sensei," a woman smiles, as my eyes widen.

She's beautiful!

Her dark brunette curly locks frame her face nicely against her pale complexion, with deep crimson eyes along with a deep crimson red lipstick making her face pop out more. She was average height, and flawless with a warm and calming aura around her.

"Now introduce yourselfs, likes....dislikes.....your goals," She smiles, before turning to Shino. "What's your name?"

He tilts his sunglasses, "I'm Shino Aburame, I like bugs......and salads," He begins. "I dislike strong smells, and I don't have any goals for the future at the moment.

She hums softly, nodding.

"Nice to meet you, now....how about you," she gestures to Kiba.

He grins, "Tha names Kiba Inuzuka!" he announces proudly. "I like meat and taking walks with Akamaru......and I dislike cats.....and any meat that isn't chewy......and my dream is to be Hokage!"

Kurenai-Sensei chuckles, "Nice......now how about you dear?" She asks the shy timid Hyuga.

Hinata taps her index fingers together, shyly.

"U-Um.....my name is Hinata Hyuga, and I like to press flowers in books," She begins, making me smile warmly. "I also like cinnamon rolls, but dislike crab shrimp.......and my goal or dream.....is to be strong."

Kurenai clasps her hands together, with a smile across her face.

"I love that so much, and now.....you," She slightly nods towards me, gesturing for my turn.

"My name is....Kimi Senju, I like Mochi and green tea and training," I began, never really focused on my personal self on things. "I um.......dislike plain food, and my dream is.....to become like my great grandfather...Lord Second.....and to be Konoha's protector and a strong kunoichi."

Kurenai-sensei smiles, understanding our goals in life.

"Very nice goals you all have, and it's nice to know a little but of yourselves just so we can grow closer as a team," She places her hands on her hips. "Now......tomorrow morning we will begin training."

Placing my hand up, she nods in response.

"So.... will we be doing just small errands?" I question, as she nods again.

"Yes you four will be assigned to small errands as genin, but....don't be discouraged," She begins, before smirking. "I know that one of you is very eager to go out there and kick ninja butt....."

Turning I saw Kiba pouting a little, folding his arms making me stifle a laugh behind my hand.

"So......I will see you four tomorrow morning, at the tree near the bridge," She clarifies. "You all may be dismissed for now."

"Thank you Sensei!" We all bow to her, feeling like we're gonna get along just fine with her.

{Next Morning}

************************

Stretching my aching limbs after another early start to my usual training, I managed to get to the bride quite early. My eyes drift up seeing Shino already leaning up against the tree, never noticing how much of an early bird he was. His head soon lifts sensing my presence, turning to see me walking over to him.

"Morning Shino......you're the first here, especially before our sensei," I greet him softly, seeing him shift his sunglasses.

"Yeah well I always wake up early," He replies. "Anyway where is Kiba and Hinata?"

Looking around I shrug my shoulders, "Somewhere, but I know Kiba for a fact likes to sleep in a little," I chuckle, remembering a few times I would have to wake him up on mornings he wanted to train with me.

"H-Hey.....Kimi?"

"Hmm? What's up?" I question, while tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

He looks like he was struggling on what to say, before facing me.

"Did you mean it? That.....you were glad that I joined your team?"

I blink a few times, taken back from this.

"Shino......I did mean it, every shinobi and person matters," I smile gently, patting his shoulder. "The team were placed in, was for a reason.....no mistakes."

He slowly nods, taking in my response.

"Right....thank you, it means.....alot," he scratches his cheek sheepishly, before I felt someone grip my shoulders for a moment.

"Ahh! Oh.......Hinata......you're finally here!" I exclaim, realising it was only her. "Do you know where Kiba is? Or even Sensei?"

She shook her head.

"Don't kn--"

"Oi!!!!!" someone's voice booms louder, making me slightly wince from the sudden yell.

"Yep, Kiba is here," I mutter, before seeing him a little annoyed.

He storms over, "How did Cub and Shino get here before
