Inside the Hokage tower,

The Hokage and a group of Jounin-sensei hopefuls sat in a conference room. The room full of argument and yelling. The reason for the change was due to the actions of one Uzumaki Naruto.

"Thanks a lot, Iruka. Because of your actions, making Naruto a Genin, instead of drinking our asses off we now have to deal with this shit." yelled one jounin

"Naruto learned and used an A-ranked Jutsu and defeated a traitor in a matter of a few hours how does that not qualify him to be a Genin." Said Iruka in defence of Naruto.

"I'll admit it is an impressive feat, but that doesn't matter. He failed the original test and before you decided to add him, we had just got the teams formed. With him in now we have one extra Genin hopeful with no team. And adding him to any of the teams would mean we would have to cut someone who got there by the book. Do you really think that is fair Iruka" said another jounin

"Would you all shut up!" yelled the Hokage with all the power that had earned him the title.

The room went deathly silent as the group focused on their leader hoping his age and wisdom could help them out.

"Listen here, I understand your concerns both Iruka's and the rest of yours. Naruto will not be placed on any of the teams that have already been formed so don't worry about it." said the old man

"So what, you're going make him someone's apprentice you know that the only shinobi that are qualified to handle that are one of the Sannin or Kakashi. The Sannin are not in the village because of self-exile or are needed to maintain the spy network and Kakashi needs to train Sasuke because he has similar abilities to the Uchiha. So, what are you going to do?" interrupted a Jounin

"Well if you let the man finish you might have gotten your answer." Said someone with a laid-back voice.

The group turned around towards the window of the room to see a man around six-foot-tall in standard Jounin vest. His gravity defying white hair held by a navy blue Konoha hitai-ate which was also covering his left eye. His right eye giving his famed eye-smile.

"Ah Kakashi, you are earlier than usual I see. Did you find any shortcuts in road of life, I wonder…" said the Hokage.

"Ha Ha. Very funny Hokage-sama, that aside, I just got back from given her a hitai-ate and telling her what is going on." said Kakashi

"Exactly what I want to know. What is going on" said Asuma

"Who is her?" demanded another jounin.

"Not you too Kakashi! Another Genin !?"

"Something wrong with it? A graduated student has full right to become Genin." said Kakashi

The room went silent as Kakashi pulled out a file and handed it the old man.

Everyone was into their own thoughts thinking whether teams will be distributed again or there will be a special team when Hokage interrupted the silence.

"Ami, sir. She fits the criteria that I made for another teammate. She started out in the academy the same time as Naruto did and in the beginning she did show promise of being a good kunoichi. Unfortunately, she was an orphan and around the time she was ten her reserves grew to way above average for a girl her age. This resulted in the similar educational issues that Naruto had with small jutsu the academy uses. She scored average marks on her test in both accuracy and written but like Naruto she had issues with the clone jutsu, and due to this she failed. Her personality is another reason I decided to take her. Like Naruto she decided to start focusing on gaining attention. she became a bully to achieve this. However, for a while she has been acting a little subdued in that department, but that might make things easier when she and Naruto start." Said Kakashi

"Are you sure I know that student pretty well and she has become somewhat more active in bullying others the last couple of years and that is not something that shinobi can afford to be." said Iruka

"Calm down, with training she'll be fine. Not to mention that her teammate has the ability to bring out the best in people, huh 'Iruka-sensei'." said Kakashi cause the Chunin to blush at the comment.

*sigh*

"Iruka, seems the academy has failed in its purpose again." Said the Hokage.

Iruka looked down, ashamed of himself.

Hokage continued, "There are somethings that need to be added to the academy. Our two recent additions to the graduation population have high chakra, which is difficult to control for them. According to our sensory units, Naruto has as much chakra as me due to him being an Uzumaki and his tenant…" "What!?" "…on the other hand, Ami has as much chakra as a mid-level Jounin. As of right now, I am ordering to check the chakra capacity of every student in the academy once every year. Some more rules are needed to be set, but that is for another time. Now for the teams…"

"Hokage-sama I-" "Don't interrupt me! This is the final decision I am making for the teams. A Hokage has so many other things to do, not just sit here and listen to complaints of every damn person!"

"I apologize sir"

"Good. Now the teams are…(Leaving Teams 1-6)

Team 7 – Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Yukiko(some random civilian), Kakashi Hatake.

Team 8 – Hinata Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, Kurenai Yuhi

Team 9 – from last year…

Team 10 – Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Asuma Sarutobi

Team 11 – Naruto Uzumaki, Ami"

"Hokage-sama, I think you forgot to name their sensei." Iruka reminded 'the professor'.

"No, I haven't. They don't have a sensei."

"W-what! Hokage-sama, are you serious!?" Iruka shouted in protest.

The conference room broke out in whispers.

"ENOUGH! Act like a jounin all of you!" yelled the Hokage.

Silence.

"Yes, I confirm that they don't have a sensei, or I should say they can't have one due to the decision of the Council. Team layout has not been changed much, just the addition of new team. Team 11 is a special team. Because of the high chakra capacity of members, I am declaring them a third-tier assault team. They won't have a fixed sensei, but whenever they want help with their training, they will have to come to me so I can appoint them a sensei. On missions greater than C-Rank, they will have a Chunin or Jounin accompanying them. Does that make you assured Iruka? " explained Sarutobi.

"If you put it that way sir, I am okay I guess. But about the Chunin exams sir…"

"Hmm, okay. Listen me out, there is more for you all to hear. There are some limitations for this type of team. For one, they're required to have a training period that is two times longer than the traditional week before they can even start to take missions. Second, they are required to take two times the amount of missions before they can be eligible to take the Chunin exams so don't worry about them getting ahead because of special treatment. In fact the way it's set up basically means that they will be doing missions instead of being at the academy." said the Hokage.

"What is so wrong about them going back to the academy they can wait a year." said a Kurenai.

"Now Kurenai I think…" said the Hokage before he was interrupted

"Excuse me Hokage-sama I think she might be right." said Kakashi.

The Hokage out of surprise and anger at the betrayal, glared at the man that until then had been defending Naruto. Then all anger and surprise subsided after he saw the mischievous smirk under Kakashi's mask. Well he thought it was, if his eye-smile was anything to go by.

"Really Kakashi, care to explain to the rest of us." said the Hokage now showing a smirk of his own

"Yeah I mean what harm could another year do. Knowing Naruto, it will be fun year of pranks for him. I mean with the 'Shadow Clone Justsu' I can't imagine what pranks the boy could perform." said Kakashi.

A pregnant silence came upon the room as Kakashi uttered those words. Many of the Jounin knew that their Genin hopefuls would most likely fail and they would be put back into the normal mission line ups. And one of the common missions that was given to the Jounin of Konoha was a mission that had came to be known as 'Naruto hunt'. The mission was to chase the boy around the village for hours on end and catch the young blond after one of the infamous exploit's he performed. Then to make matters worse every ninja, with the exception of Iruka, whoever had caught the boy usually became the butt of the next practical joke he cooked up.

"Maybe we were a little hasty to throw out such an idea Hokage-sama. Maybe this set-up you have is a very good idea." said one Jounin

The statement was meet with nods from everyone in the room and small agreement from those who put their own two cent in.

"Good I'm glad to hear it. Now if you excuse me. Kakashi and I have to go finalize the documents and forms for his teams so I'll leave you guys to hopefully finish the night the way you were planning." said the Hokage

With that Kakashi and the Hokage left the room to allow the Jounin to have their night of drinking and relaxing. The two walked to the old man's office and started on the small amount of paper work that would be needed to finalize the team.

"Kakashi…"

"Yes, Hokage-sama"

"I wanted to request you, can you take a little time of your day to help Naruto?"

"It's no problem sir, I can't think of a better way to honor Minato-sensei then to teach her kid. Not to mention that if you had been forced to put him on another team the other students would probably mock him and the team dynamics of any of those teams would suffer" said Kakashi

"Thank you for help Kakashi, there are few people I would've trusted with Naruto's training and growth as a ninja." said the Hokage.

"Yeah you're probably right about that. Still as you probably guessed. He can't know who his parents are right." said the Hokage

"Of course, I'll leave telling him up to you. I don't want to deal with that when it hits the fan" said Kakashi

"Good, well that's the last of the paper work. Congratulations Kakashi Hatake, leader of team seven."

"I will take the responsibility with pride Hokage-sama. now if you would excuse me I need to meet my students tomorrow." said Kakashi

"Knowing you, it's of no use. You are going to be late anyway." joked the Hokage.

*eye-smile*

"Hokage-sama, I just thought, this graduating class is full of clan heirs and heiresses. How would you think they would react if they saw not one but two failures getting a team? Next thing you know the council would be on your ass about special treatment and favoritism and even though they couldn't veto the action they would sure make your life a pain in the ass." said Kakashi

"You have a point there Kakashi, have them meet here tomorrow so I can help explain what is going on. I'm sure they both will be excited." said the Hokage.

Kakashi nodded and then Shunshined out of the office leaving the old Hokage to his work. The old man decided to take a small break and look out the window of the office. As his eyes locked in on the face of the fourth on the Hokage mountain he smiled.

"Even though you two are not here it seems you're loved ones whether it be a former student or a leader you served are trying to help your son." said the Hokage.

The old man gave out a yawn of a lion and deciding that it was time to end the hectic day and retire for the night.
