Sitting up in his bed the boy couldn't help but feel his entire body ache. After passing the academy's graduation exam his father had spent two days doing Kenjutsu training with him. He didn't want to move but his mother's incessant pleas saying he would be late got him moving faster than anything.
Getting out of his bed the boy slipped on his black pants and his white shirt. He quickly threw his black jacket on over these and jumped into his shoes. Finally he grabbed his new black Hidden Leaf headband and tied it around his forehead, pushing his pitch black bangs out of dark brown eyes. As he made his way out the room he strapped his Chokuta, a gift from his father for graduating, on his back.
Making his way to the academy he couldn't help but feel a little bit of pride for himself. He had passed the exam and was in the upper percentile of his class, not the top like his father wanted but above average. People that he passed on the street congratulated him and joked about now he would be busy with all sorts of missions.
As he entered the academy he saw that he was the last of the students to arrive, leaving only one seat empty for him to take. Taking the seat he looked over to see that next to him was seated Rimeiku Uchiha, first born son of Sasuke Uchiha leader of the villages ANBU division. He looked almost exactly like his father at that age. The only difference was he had his mother's pink hair and her temper to match.
"So you decided to join us Koji." Rimeiku said turning to the boy.
"Sorry I was sore from the time spent with my father over the weekend." Koji said in return.
"You mean forced twelve hour training?" a new voice said entering into the fray.
Turning round Koji saw a boy with long silver hair tied into a pony-tail. His eyes matched the hair exactly though the right one had a near invisible scar running through it. He wore a black shirt with grey shorts and the usual sandals. His headband, like most of the students, was blue and tied round his forehead.
"Sadly yes, Kumori. But I have some new tricks up my sleeve and was given my Chokuta as a graduation present." Koji responded to the boy only to hear a small squeal from in front of him.
Looking down he saw a girl with dark blue hair covering most of her red headband and her green eyes. She was wearing blue spandex shorts and thigh high white socks with the usual ninja shoes. Over her top was a green shirt that ended just above her stomach and a blue coat with a white lining. Strapped to her back was a katana.
"You got a Chokuta? I thought only the Anbu carried those!" the girl said.
"Usually but my family is well known to be Kenjutsu practitioners and as such we carry Chokuta, Iyasu." Koji said a bit scared at her moment of freak out.
Before another word could be said a man entered the class room. He was wearing a long white cloak with a red flame design around the bottom of it. On the back of the cloak was the Kanji for Sixth Hokage. Underneath the cloak he wore an orange jumpsuit with black shoulders and sleeves. His yellow hair was kept up in spikes and his blue eyes shone brightly with a bit of exciement.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki, the Sixth Hokage, and im sure you all know my son Jaraiya Uzumaki," Naruto said while pointing to a boy with black hair and white eyes. "You have all passed the academy graduation exam and as such it is time to assign you your teams."
At this all the Genin got an excited look. Naruto couldn't help but remember the day he was assigned his team with Sasuke and Sakura, now husband and wife. Taking on a serious face he continued onward.
"So then to begin Team one is Rimeiku Uchiha, Jaraiya Uzumaki and…" Naruto said as Koji began to drift till he heard his own name about five minutes later. "And finally Team Twelve is Koji Mizuke, Kumori Baransu, and Iyasu Tamashi, led by Hinata Hyuga Uzumaki. With that finished go to lunch and meet with your sensie here."
As the Genin stood up to go to lunch Koji couldn't help but feel stares comgin from three different people. Turning round he saw Kumori and Iyasu, whom he expected, along with Jaraiya.
"I understand Kumori and Iyasu but Jaraiya what are staring at me for?" Koji asked.
"If you hurt my mother or do anything that might cause her emotional pain, and im speaking to all three of you, I will kill you." Jaraiya said.
Koji, feeling the truth behind the boys threat, gulped and nodded. Kumori and Iyasu followed suit. Jaraiya immediately switched back to his usual jovial mood and waved at the three as he left the room.
"You guys want to just eat here and not risk dealing with him again?" Koji asked.
The other two nodded. The three thusly sat down at their usual seats and began eating their lunchs…
Lunch came and went for the three Genin fast enough and soon they were waiting for their new sensei in the classroom. Hours had passed and they were the last three in the room.
"Where is she?" Iyasu asked the other two, though it sounded more like she directed it to herself, while chewing on a piece of strawberry cake.
"She is the Hokage's wife. Maybe he gave her a special mission." Kumori said suggestively as he read through a book that had become infamous due to its last obsessive reader.
Koji only replied with a slight huff as he crossed his hands in front of his mouth covering the lower half of his face. The other two turned to him. Iyasu stared quizzically as Kumori's eyes shifted from his book to Koji and back multiple times.
"Koji are you mad? Did we upset you? Do think Hinata is running later than she should be? Whats wrong? Do you want to talk about it?" Iyasu asked stringing questions together as though they were pearls on a silver chain.
Looking over with his left eyebrow, the only one he had full control over, slightly raised in a sign of annoyance Koji replied, "No I wasn't mad but you are starting to get me to that point."
"Then why aren't you talking with us?" Iyasu asked puzzled by the boy.
"Because I was thinking." Koji said a tone of hate starting to raise in his voice.
"What were you thinking about?" Iyasu asked.
Koji was about to answer with a comment on how to kill the currently annoying girl when the door opened. Standing there in the doorway was a woman with long flowing black hair and white eyes. She wore a purple and cream colored jacket. He pants were black she seemed to keep her arms to herself.
"Um… Am running a little late?" She said surprised to see a near empty classroom.
"Only by a few minutes." Kumori said, "But you are Naruto's wife so we can't really complain that he had special interest missions for you now can we?"
"W…Well… We…. Um… We…. Weren't…. I mean….." Hinata said fumbling over her words and causing Kumori to fall into a giggling fit. "Let's go somewhere else to get to know each other."
Iyasu and Koji nodded whereas Kumori put his book away and making a grandiose gesture asked Hinata to lead the way.
"Why the hell do you have to do that?" Koji asked quietly as they walked.
"Its fun messing with people." Kumori answered while turning a page in his book.
Shaking his head Koji sped up a bit to ensure he kept up with Hinata. Within a few minutes they reached a small circular bench that overlooked parts of the village. The three Genin sat down while Hinata took a spot leaning her back against a pole.
"So why don't you tell me a bit about yourselves?" Hinata asked.
"Like what?" Iyasu asked the woman.
"Well go with your name, a like, a dislike, and a dream." Hinata said. "In fact I will go first. My name is Hinata Hyuga Uzumaki. Something I like is my family. Something I dislike is when the village gets attacked. I live my dream everyday with Naruto." She then turned to Koji, "Now why don't you go?"
"Okay," the boy began, "My name is Koji Mizuke. I like training with my sword. I dislike how much my father over emphasizes training. My dream is to one day be as good a water user as my father is."
"Very good. Now you." Hinata said pointing to Iyasu.
"Well my name Iyasu Tamashi. I like strawberry cake. I dislike getting wet." She said while glaring at Koji, "My dream is to become a teacher."
"A good dream to have." Hinata said smiling. "And you?" she asked looking at the last one.
"Me? Well my name is Kumori Baransu. I like saying things to get a reaction out of people. I dislike people who don't react. My dream was achieved a year ago when my favorite author signed my books." Kumori said discreetly looking at the book that was now sitting in his lap.
"Not the most orthodox answer but still an answer I guess." Hinata said. "Well we will meet tomorrow at training field three at seven a.m. And I suggest that unless you enjoy throwing up you don't eat."
With that and a smile the woman left the three Genin alone with their thoughts…...
