I chuckled at his excitement, "I hope we can be on the same team, Naruto. We would be unstoppable." That was a cursory attempt on my part to influence the Hokage and Iruka to put Naruto and I on the same team. Cursory because I already knew that since Naruto was going to graduate with us, he would naturally become the deadlast and thus be paired in the same team with me, the Rookie of the Year, as well as Hinata, the top kunoichi. I would be able to train him up to compensate for largely ignoring him while teaching Sasuke the past three years, and he would also get the opportunity to get closer to the Hyuuga heiress who crushed on him big time. Two birds one stone.
