Title: Team Twelve
Author: PrincessTucker
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, nor will I be making any money off of this story.
Summary: Instead of being placed on Team 7 with Kakashi Naruto gets placed on Team 12 with a new teammate and Mitarash Anko. How much of a difference will Naruto undergo and change around him and in himself?
"This is so going to suck if I get stuck with Teme." Naruto muttered as he slouched in his seat. Today was the day that they were going to be told which team they will be on, Naruto hoped he wouldn't be placed with Teme; he was such an ass-hole.
Naruto looked around the room curious, the other class, Yuki-Sensei's class, was going with them for the team placement. Naruto only had seen some of the others during lunch, but he never talked to them. Although one girl stood out with her frost-white hair, it cascaded down her back and shielded her face from view. Naruto only gave her a glance before settling down for a nap; he did make sure that he was awake enough to hear his name called.
Umino Iruka looked over the dwindling number of Genin and hoped to god that Anko actually was able to get a hold of his two more troublesome students. Iruka grew both worried and pleased that it looked like Anko might be getting his two students as more and more Genin were taken by their Jonin-Sensei.
"Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Chouji, Yamanaka Ino." Sarutobi Asuma called out, pissed he wasn't allowed to smoke indoors. "Come with me."
"Inuzuka Kiba, Hyuga Hinata, Aburame Shino." Yuhi also called after Asuma called out his Genin. The large group left and then there was only six left to chose from. Naruto was getting a bad feeling that he was going to teamed with Teme much to his disgust. Naruto was proven right when the next Jonin entered the room, dressed very scantily with nothing but a skirt, fishnet and a trench coat.
"Uzumaki Naruto, Xuân Fei, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruna Sakura." Anko demanded as she eyed the four that got up. The Kyubbi Jailor, the Tama Surviver, the Uchiha Heir and the Uchiha Cultist.
Anko was going to fucking kill herself before they were all Jonin; she just knew it.
Naruto mentally screamed at himself as he realized that he was on the same team as Teme, although he was with Sakura-chan and a really cute looking girl, Xuân Fei was it? Hopefully she wouldn't fawn all over Teme, two girls fawning over him would inflate his ego; it was already too big as it was.
Naruto looked around curiously as they were led through some of the more busier streets in the Market District. Naruto was used to people sneering or avoiding him, but it was unusual that they were doing it with Fei. Maybe it was because her hair was that pretty white color? Naruto mentally shrugged and decided to get to the bottom of it later, after he decided how Fei acted around Sasuke-Teme, she better not be a fan-girl.
They stopped in front of a plain, non-discripted building. It had no signs or markings showing whom it belonged to other then a bright red doorframe. Naruto had seen some of the off-duty Jonin enter the building but never go in himself; he always assumed it was a strip-joint or something equally unpleasant. Anko entered the building and the four of them entered the room where a simple desk sat next to a single door, there wasn't anything else in there but that desk and the Jonin sitting behind it.
"Mitarashi-san. These are your Genin I presume?" The man said eyeing the four nervous Genin.
"Hai, prepare four badges for them alright? I need to take them to Ibiki for some testing, so be ready when we come back out." Anko said waving a hand at the Jonin and headed for the door.
"Hai, Mitarashi-san."
Sasuke even looked nervous, Morino Ibiki was a rather infamous Jonin that was head of ANBU T&I. Suddenly it seemed that maybe they had the wrong person for a Sensei, it seemed like Mitarashi-Sensei worked for the T&I something all four were sure they would be working closely with.
Sakura was hovering next to Sasuke, grasping his arm tightly much to the boy's annoyance and he was trying to pull away. Naruto and Fei were walking close together down the halls, but they weren't holding hands, but they were ready to defend themselves, they were nothing but survivors if anything else.
"Ibiki!" Anko shouted as she threw open a door and rushed inside, ignoring the glare from the scarred man. "I need to talk to you!"
"Anko, what a pleasant surprise." Ibiki said as put down his pen. He eyed the four Genin's standing behind his favorite member of T&I, he was slightly impressed that only three of them didn't step back in fear, the fourth, the pink haired one, was hiding behind the Uchiha.
What a useless waste of a kunoichi name.
"I have a bunch of Gaki's I thought you should be interested in as they will be tagging along with me as I go along my job here. I would also like to have some one-on-one training with various other Jonin here as Hatake is taking on Uchiha for the Sharingan."
"Really? So that got him out of active duty for this? He must be pissed off to the extreme." Ibiki said dryly as Anko snickered, it was well known that after his Genin team was killed and then his Sensei barely five years later that Hatake Kakashi threw himself into active duty status and was considered the most suicidal Jonin that Konoha had.
"Yes, well, he didn't have much of a choice. Hatake has Uchiha on the weekends and I was hoping to find someone to train these bunch so I can fit in some S-ranked missions in with my partner."
"Hmmm, I will look over the rosters and see how we can get and willing to do a little extra training with the Gaki." Ibiki could see the pink haired one growing visibly pissed off, the Uchiha was similarly pissed, but he was hiding it better. Uzumaki was keeping his mouth shut and the white-hair was keeping her head down. Both of them obviously knew better then to say anything or do anything really. "What type of tests are you going to put the through?"
"Oh, just the basic aptitude testing to see which field they would be best in. Look up the Jonin cases involving Genin, alright?" Anko asked as she jerked her head at Haruna, she did not want that girl on her team. Ibiki seemed to get the picture and nodded his head. "Very well then, I'll see you later to go over the results Ibiki."
"Maa-Maa, have fun Anko, remember they are just children, they don't have the stomachs like we do."
Anko only smirked and herded her bunch out of the room to the testing grounds. Ibiki felt slightly bad for the children, they had no clue who or what they were taking on. But, it would be interesting on who was going to make the cut, after all, not just anyone could enter the T&I corps, if that was what Anko was testing them on, he was thankful that the whole building was wired with full audio and visual.
Naruto was nervous as he took a seat at a small desk, he wasn't quite sure what he was going to be tested on, and hopefully it wouldn't be too bad. As long as it wasn't Ninjutsu then he should be fine, at least Naruto thought so. Sasuke was barely reining his impatience that he had to take more tests then he already had, he already was a Genin, he wanted to be stronger so he could kill Itachi and avenge his clan already. Sakura was on the edge of her seat, something about this place put her on edge that screamed that she was in danger of being killed.
Sakura didn't know that the feeling was perfectly normal of a shinobi when entering a mission. Fei on the other hand was fairly calm about it, she was a Genin already, the worst they could do was place her with another squad. It shouldn't be too hard to do a few tests, it was okay if she failed, it didn't quite matter to Fei either way, as long as she was a shinobi then she couldn't be forced into an arranged marriage.
Thank god.
"All right, you little Gaki's," Anko said as she paused out four packets. There was three fazes to this test, paperwork was one of them followed by an elemental test and then a physiological evaluation. "Have fun."
First up, how long does it take for a person to bleed out from a shuriken to the hand? Can you translate the following paragraph into Kirigakure shorthand? How many languages can you speak? What seals do you know were used to seal away the Kyubbi-No-Kitsune? What is the price of green tea in Land of Tea? How far away is Iwagakure in inches? What style is better in a Taijutsu only fight, Gentle Fist or Red Moon? Against each other? Which Genjutsu was used against General Tsuchi of Iwagakure during the last war? Which of the four Hokage's was better at Genjutsu then the others? What where the Hokage's nicknames among the villagers?
The list went on and on for dozens of pages, all mostly useless and unknown to some of the Genin depending on the questions asked or worded. Poor Naruto was about ready to pull his hair out by the end of it, the only things he could answer were about Ninjutsu and Seals, both of which he had to be interested in. Sasuke was all right, the test was extremely hard, but nothing too outrageous or taxing on his mental exercises. He even answered in more detail then necessary for Genjutsu and the tactic/history questions, both of those were rather big in the Uchiha family and the lesson's and books he studied from nightly.
Sakura was pissed off as she knew next to nothing about what they questions wanted, although she did answer the questions about household duties and wifely obligations, that much she knew for studying to be her beloved Sasuke-kun's wife. The rest didn't matter as long as she was with her Sasuke-kun. Fei on the other hand was doing much better, she knew most of the answers to the medical related and foreign information that they wanted, well, all expect the Kirigakure shorthand, and she could only translate half of it. It helped that her parents were traveling merchants in a caravan, Fei got to talk to and learn from so many different people and things, she hated it when her parents died and she was forced to live with her great aunt Sora and uncle Yashu. Sora-Oba thought that Fei should set her eyes on a nice, rich first son and get married to improve not only her standing but also Sora-Oba's.
Fei disagreed for obvious reasons.
"Well, well, well. Not to shabby I'd say," Anko said as she gathered up the paper-packets. "Now, I want all of you to channel chakra into these pieces of paper for me while I go file these. Don't worry it will take a while."
All four students nodded and fingered the small square piece of chakra paper, all had heard about it, but never actually seen it. Sasuke was the first to get a handle on the paper; his turned to ash. Sasuke was very pleased, he would have been shocked if he didn't have anything other then the Fire Element, all Uchiha's had Fire. Naruto grew pissed off and sort of shoved his chakra at the paper; he didn't like the fact that Teme was able to do his before him. His paper sliced into two pieces like the wind had cut it, the paper also felt slightly damp.
Fei already knew what hers would be; she also knew that they were being watched so she waited until two of her teammates had their elements before allowing her chakra into the paper. To her surprise it turned to dirt, but a closer look showed it was crystallized, which Fei hoped that no one would see it. Sakura was the last one to get hers and it took nearly an hour for her, it became damp in her hand like some sort of mushy-paste pulp.
"So, lets see what we got." Anko said rubbing hands together shortly after Sakura turned her paper to pulp, she already knew from the live video feed to her office. "Fire," and Lighting "Wind," and Water "Earth," Crystal actually was a possibility "And Water. Not bad, not bad at all. Now, I want all of you to look at me."
All four pairs of eyes look at Anko's hand and they went limp, Anko kicked her feet up onto the desk and waited for the Genjutsu to run its course. Hopefully they will come out mostly unharmed, but if not, oh well, it's not that great of a loss unless it was Haruna. Now, that girl could be killed or mentally unstable and unfit to be a shinobi, Anko would kiss Ibiki. She was a waste of Kunoichi, she may have the smarts but only if it would help further her status, from what her results said that Haruna was too focused on being the perfect wife for someone, in Haruna's mind it meant the Uchiha heir.
That was going to have to be nipped in the bud as soon as possible.
Anko pushed Haruna's file away and decided to see how badly screwed-up the Uchiha was, there was a reason why the paperwork was several inches thick, it helped show hidden personalities and sides. It would help Anko and other Sensei's to determine what should be taught and what they should look for if they go off the edge. As Anko pursued the ten-page report she was a little shocked that the Uchiha wasn't even more fucked up.
Yeah, so he wanted to avenge his clan and kill his older brother. That was perfectly understandable considering what had happened five years ago. Although he would need to be watched closely so he didn't run off and become a Missing-Nin, but as long as they kept him busy with training and learning powerful Jutsu's he would be fine.
Xuân was almost painfully shy and withdrawn further then Uchiha was, which was saying something. She also had a strong sense of self, but no self-worth, not surprising since her aunt, Takezawa Sora, kept trying to offer her niece to high-class merchants for marriages. To be told all her life that she was to be nothing more then a breeding mare, it wasn't a wonder that Xuân would have nothing to praise herself about.
It made Anko want Haruna and Xuân to switch places family wise.
Uzumaki was the only normal one out of the four, although he did have problems with his Jinchuiriki status among the villagers and lower ranked Shinobi. He showed a passion to be noticed, almost to a dangerous level with that orange jump suit and pranks, which if he was anyone else could have gotten him into serious trouble. It had always been in Anko and Ibiki's opinion that Uzumaki should have been told at a much younger age and given to the ANBU to train so he wouldn't become independent upon the Kyubbi's chakra like he was almost now.
That would take weeks, if not months, to fix before Uzumaki was ready to train seriously.
Anko made notes in her personal files in what all four should be trained in and what type of field they could go into and excel at the most. Uchiha would be primary trained in Genjutsu, which was against what Hatake wanted but it was too damn bad, Fire Style could be his Ninjutsu for all Anko gave a shit. Uzumaki was a good Ninjutsu user, he had the most stamina and chakra pools and thick coils for it, his control may be shit but he did have incredible memorization. Xuân would be the best for Taijutsu just from her knowledge alone, her control was hairpin enough to teach her to learn Enhanced Chakra styles, she may be a short little thing, but that just meant she could go fucking fast as hell. Haruna was disappointing, she could go into any field but the only thing she excelled at was being a future wife and a liability. Anko decided to see what she couldn't teach Haruna on the privet sessions and hope that she improved enough in a month of grace period, after that she'll have to trade her off or bump her down to Academy Genin.
That was if she passed the physiological exam. Hopefully she wouldn't and with a guilt free soul she could get rid of the freak.
It was just turning six three hours later when the Genin stirred, Anko's blank pieces of paper in front of her filling in. All the files were thick, but Haruna's was the thinnest, which was a good thing for Anko, that meant that Haruna failed or was really too good. All four looked like shit and their eyes were thoughtful, blank or haunted depending on the person. Anko hated doing this to them, but it was the only way to make sure that they would survive anything they threw at them and got rid of weak ones.
"Alright, now go home and I will see you all here bright and early tomorrow morning at seven, understand?" Four jerky nods. "Good, now get out of here."
Anko waited until their Chakra signaled that they were out of the T&I building before gather up the now thicker files and heading to Ibiki's office, this was her first time training shinobi other then ANBU learning the ropes, she was pretty sure it was frowned on to teach the twelve year olds how to skin a person alive for information.
"Tests done," Anko said as she passed over the copies to the napping Ibiki. "I want your opinion on them."
Ibiki nodded and started reading, making notes as he went along, he was aware of Anko doing the same. So she wanted to see what he thought and comparing her notes before declaring anything or getting rid of a Genin. Uzumaki had some issues, but nothing that couldn't be fixed, although that masochistic side was odd but of no concern to any of the Sensei's although he would be getting a different 'Talk' when he was old enough. Uchiha would need close watching so he wouldn't go off the edge go insane or become Missing-Nin to one of the enemy Hidden Villages. It was also of no surprise that the Uchiha was asexual to everything; he seemed to be one that favored family and friends rather then partners.
Xuân was a fucking mess to say the least. An extremely severe sense of self, but no self-worth, thinking her-self not worth anything but to breed if married, Ibiki was worried about possible breakdowns and withdraw from Shinobi life to avoid intimacy among her peers. It wasn't a wonder that Xuân had touch issues from what was seen of the molestation and possible rapes that the Genjutsu had recorded. Ibiki would be surprised if she didn't accidentally put a kunai through the eye of either Uzumaki or Uchiha if they brush up against her. It would be highly doubtful that she would ever have a normal relationship with anyone other then her team, but to make her slightly tame Ibiki planned on making Xuân share a tent with either Uzumaki or Uchiha, possible both to make her handle one-on-one sessions.
Haruna was a waste of space and should be bumped down to Civilian status.
"So, which one first?" Anko said as Ibiki sat back.
"Uchiha will need watching and non-stop training to avoid a possible Orochimaru, he will also need to under-go very co-dependant team-training to help avoid that. Genjutsu and then Shadow-Nin training would be the route to go with him after HBT. Uzumaki will have to see a Byakugan Healer and a Seal Master, other then Jiraiya, to check the Seal weekly so he wont fuck up Jutsu's. Ninjutsu and Hunter-Nin would suit him out of the possible ones we have here. Haruna shouldn't even be a Genin, how she passed a shrink is beyond me, but we can't do anything until after the Grace Period. Xuân…."
"Yes, Xuân. She is the most fucked up shinobi I've seen since me." Anko admitted as she leaned back into her seat. "Near rapes, being paraded around like some show-horse to dirty old men, most likely molested numerous times. She's going to need a shrink and get out of that house as soon as possible, we also have to get her to Chunin ASVP, it will make her adult enough that she could override any and all marriage contracts."
"Agreed. Taijutsu and Medical-Nin." Ibiki nodded as Anko started listing up key points for each of the three Genin to pick a perfect Sensei for the weekends. "Hatake already has Uchiha, but make them train here. I'll take Uzumaki under my wing and you'll have to decided between yourself or Fujiko for privet lessons."
"Fujiko. She helps me when I get into my moods, she'll do Xuân worlds of good. I also plan on missions that are away from Konoha, after HBT has been completed, for all three Genin to share a small tent. One, it's for building team-work and closeness between the three, Two, it will help Xuân adjust for someone to get close to her without accidentally killing someone." Anko said as she popped her knuckles. "Uchiha is Fire and Lightning, Uzumaki is Wind and Water, and Xuân has Earth, possible a Crystal user."
"Really? That is rare since Tama was wiped out twenty years ago, do we have anything to teach her?"
"No, it will be all instinct for her. Should I start teaching them after Hellish Basic Training? Or during it?"
"After it. Focus on control with Uzumaki and Tactics with Uchiha; they both need it. All three will be getting a bunker here to use after HBT make sure to pull aside Xuân and tell her that her room wont go anywhere after HBT is over, if she hasn't moved in after a week make it an order. At least here she'll be safe from whom ever that aunt of hers brings home, it will also give her a sanctuary incase a marriage claim tries to go through."
"Of course. I told them to be here bright and early tomorrow morning, what should we do about Haruna's family?" Anko said gathering up her copies of the files. "I was planning on sending them a note saying that their daughter is under-going severe training and is not to be bothered."
"Good, but sign it with the T&I stamp, it will make damn sure that there wont be a problem later on with them after we kick out Haruna."
Anko nodded and left, she had to set up bunks for all four of them; she was planning on putting the Uchiha and Xuân in the same room. If Uchiha had no sexual interest in the near future, he was the classical 'only interested if he loved you', then Xuân would be safe and learn to feel safe, at least around one person. Haruna and Uzumaki don't get along, but it would help with his control over his emotions, he was too much of an emotional being and thinker.
Anko had a long night a head of her to prepare for her Gaki's, she was also going to be looking into Xuân old suitors and current ones. She may not be able to do anything, but Uchiha and Uzumaki would when they found out about the encounters. It will also might make Xuân feel safer if her attackers were dead or locked up.
Either way it was going to be a long night.
End
