Naruto: Winds and Changes

Naruto blinked as he looked over at Sakura. Did she really just ask that? He shook his head and for a moment, he tried to recall why he liked her in the first place.

"Oh you know the usual. Likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams for the future… stuff like that." Kakashi said in a dismissive tone.

"Well since we already know a little bit about each other and nothing about you, how about you go first?" suggested Naruto.

Kakashi looked over at the blond before shrugging. "Sure I don't see why not. Let's see, my name is Hatake Kakashi, my likes… I don't feel like telling you that… dislikes… are none of your business. Dreams for the future… well I have lots of hobbies."

Dear Kami-Sama, Anko really was on the book with this guy! Naruto thought before grinning as an interesting idea took hold. This would be fun. "Your name is Hatake Kakashi, you're likes are reading your porn, called Icha Icha Paradise. Dislikes are anything or anyone that tries to take you away from your porn. Hobbies are reading your porn in broad daylight and public places. And your dreams for the future are to star in one of the Icha Icha books and an Icha Icha movie if one ever comes out." Naruto said with a smirk as he watched the other three.

Sasuke looked over at him before going back to brooding; however, he seemed to have developed a nasty eye twitch. Sakura was looking red as she stared between Naruto and her sensei, though, whether from anger at him, their sensei, or embarrassment because of the information just given Naruto didn't know. And Kakashi was looking at him with narrowed eyes.

"How do you know all of that?" Kakashi asked in a serious tone.

Naruto just smiled. "A little birdy told me."

Everyone stared at him with a mixture of confusion, and incredulity.

None of that stuff is common knowledge. Kakashi thought to himself before blinking. Well… some of that stuff is common knowledge. He corrected, after all, he did often walk down public access ways reading his precious Icha Icha. However, some of that other stuff is only be known by a hand full of people. That means Naruto knows one of my associates and somehow convinced them to part with that information. But who? And how did he convince them?

The jonin shook his head, and decided he would figure this out later. "Well since you were kind enough to talk about me, why don't you go first goldilocks."

Naruto raised an eyebrow at the man as if to say 'is that the best you can do'. "Well alright then. My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like ramen, training… and a little birdy." Naruto smiled as he saw Kakashi's visible eye twitch. He was really going to have to thank Anko for telling him about this guy! "I dislike arrogant fools who can't tell the difference between a kunai and the scroll it's sealed into!" Naruto scowled.

The other two genin just looked at him oddly, but Kakashi's brow furrowed. I had been told that he knew of his tenant, it seems he's taken a disliking of people who can't see past their hatred. Kakashi resisted a sigh. I hope this doesn't become a problem.

"As well as the three minutes it takes to cook ramen. My hobbies include training and… well that's it for now I guess." Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "And my dream is…" He thought about it for a moment. He still wanted to become Hokage, but there was also something else he wanted even more, it was the original reason he had wanted to become Hokage. "I have two dreams for the future. The first is to earn recognition and respect from the people of this village by becoming the most powerful shinobi in the world. The second is to become the greatest Hokage the world has ever known."

While his two teammates scoffed at him, Kakashi analyzed the boy in surprise. Interesting… he doesn't seem anything like what the reports say he is. I was expecting him to be loud and obnoxious, screaming at the top of his lungs about wanting to be Hokage. Hell, I was expecting some kind of prank when I came here. The boy was definitely becoming something of a surprise, which was not quite what Kakashi wanted, having learned to dislike surprises. Either the academy teachers had a biased opinion of him and put it in their report, quite possible given that most people have an irrational hatred of him. Or the incident with Mizuki affected him more than we thought.

Kakashi put his thoughts on the back burner for now as he pointed to Sakura. "Alright you, pinky, your next."

Sakura scowled at being called pinky but answered anyways. "My name Haruno Sakura. What I like… I mean the person I like is…" she looked over at Sasuke and blushed. "My hobbies are…" she looked over at Sasuke, blushed and giggled. "And my dream for the future…" she looked over at Sasuke, blushed, squealed and got a slight nose bleed.

Kakashi and Naruto both sweat dropped (Sasuke was too busy brooding to sweat drop). This is great; I've got a perverted fan girl. Kakashi sighed to himself. "Is there anything you don't like?" he asked.

"NARUTO BAKA!" Sakura screeched.

Naruto winced at the volume of her voice before sighing as he realized that kind of answer was to be expected. "What else is new?" he mumbled under his breath.

"Alright then…" Kakashi picked out his ear with his pinky finger. "You, the broody one, your next."

Sasuke scowled but otherwise did not rise to his sensei's remarks. "My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I don't particularly like anything, and I dislike too many things to name. What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan… and kill a certain someone."

As Sasuke finished his speech, the people around him had varying reaction.

Oh man, Sasuke-kun is soo cool! Sakura squealed in delight.

CHA! He's so hot! Inner Sakura let her opinion be known.

So he wants to kill someone, Naruto thought to himself. I wonder if it has something to do with the person who killed his clan?

It's just as I thought. Kakashi sighed; he had figured that this was how Sasuke would be. I can only hope he'll eventually turn away from this path.

"Good!" he said out loud, keeping his lazy expression and not letting a hint of his thoughts betray him. "You've all got your own opinions and you're all unique!" He nodded to himself. "Now tomorrow we will have our first mission as a team."

"What kind of mission?" asked Naruto, eager to finally prove he could be a great ninja. "Are we going to be fighting some missing ninja? Or maybe we'll have to protect a princess? C'mon sensei, don't leave us hanging!"
