Hello Everyone, I am Slim. Dav here with my first story for you all, so I hope you like it. First things first though, this is a OC Story, with the adventures of team seven in it, but it will mostly follow my OC Isago, which has the same Kanji for Sand, which is why he has Magnet release.

Starting the chapter off simple, with a nice talk between the Hokage, and Isago, but next chapter starts the introduction of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. Sense they're team seven, but Isago was not, he'll do things differently. Different team training, different genin test, all that.

lastly, come on guys. First story here, work with me. Don't be a dick, just to be a dick. If you have some tips or something for me, dope, I can work with that. But, if youre going to be in the comments saying I suck, and blah, blah, blah, then just go away. Don't read this then.

(P.S, if any one can draw Isago for me, that'd be dope as fuck. Message me, ill give you a full description of him. And, its be easy, this isn't going to be some OC that's like, super hard to describe. Keeping it simple.)

ooOOoo

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, Sighed lowly to himself as he looked down at the folder on his desk. In it were three papers, two of two boys, and one of one girl. Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno.

'This team will not work without the right sensei. It is a disaster waiting to happen, but yet I see promise in all three of them.' Hiruzen was currently stuck. He had one last team that needed a sensei, and only one person left he could make a sensei.

That person being Kakashi Hatake, who was the sole reason the Third was stuck. Kakashi was an excellent shinobi, and everything Hiruzen needed in a man. Strong, Loyal, Cared for his comrades, and always completed his missions, as long as the life of a friend wasn't in danger. Yet, the man was incredibly damaged.

From the moment he was born, Kakashi had already lost someone precious to him, his mother. Over time, one by one, every person Kakashi had loved died. His father, his friends, his sensei and his sensei's wife. The man was to troubled by his past, to have lead Genin towards a bright future.

"Hmm.. Sho." Silently, an ANBU black ops member appeared in a kneel, and awaited for her Hokage to talk. Hiruzen, nodding to himself on his decision looked at the downed ANBU member.

"Please receive Isago for me. If I'm correct, then right now he should be getting ready to leave the book store in sector nineteen." The ANBU gave a curt nod, left the room, then transported outside.

'Yes, Isago will do.' In the Third's opinion, Isago would be the best replacement sensei for team seven. And though it was breaking tradition, because Isago had never been on team seven as a genin, this still worked out in the end. A young A-rank Jonin feared for his Bloodline Limit, and his speed, Isago was a powerful man that would surely teach team seven as people, but also genin.

And though Kakashi was an S-rank Jonin, feared for his Sharingan, Hiruzen could see it now. Kakashi would surely focus on team work, and would not work with them as people, and the two shinobi of the team needed help not just as shinobi, but people.

One, Sasuke Uchiha, was mentally damaged, but on a path of being a powerful shinobi. Clan massacred at the age seven, by his brother, and a social outcast only caring about becoming stronger were not good signs.

On the other hand, Naruto Uzumaki was the complete opposite of the Uchiha. While Sasuke was withdrawn, aloof, and a loner, Naruto Uzumaki was bright, loud, and shunned by the village, all because of his tenant. With all the hate thrown at the boy, Naruto had grown into a rowdy preteen only caring about 'cool' and 'flashy' jutsu, unlike Sasuke that wanted powerful jutsu. Both boys needed help badly, and Hiruzen was sure Isago would be able to break though them both.

"Hey, You called?" Isago peeked his head inside the room slightly, hoping he wasn't disrupting anything. Seeing the Hokage alone, Isago hopped down from the window and stood in front of the Hokage's desk.

"Yes, Isago. I have a few matters I would like to discuss with you. Please, take a seat." After getting situated, and comfy, Isago gave the elder man his undivided attention.

" First and foremost, I would like to ask, How have you been?" Isago gave a light shrug as he rolled his shoulder, which was lightly bandaged at the moment. "Fine enough, I guess. I'm still healing from my last mission, my shoulder had been popped back into place, but I still have a torn bicep and fractured thumb. Other then that, I feel fine. How have you been Lord Third?" The Third smirked, and gave a small, hearty laugh.

"I have been well, The paper work is, as it has always been, dreadful. I wish to retire soon, but I fear no one will ever replace me." The Third feigned a sad look at the 'revelation'. Though internally he smirked at the dull look on Isago's scarred face.

"Ha-ha sir… Don't worry, give it a day or two, and you'll be ready to give me that hat." Hiruzen let out a bark of laughter and shook his head. "I feel as if you still have a few years of learning, before you are ready Isago. While you are powerful and have knowledge on many things, you are still young, relatively speaking. You have just turned twenty." Isago shrugged, a nonchalant look on his face.

"Lord Fourth became Hokage at this age, while you yourself became Hokage at the age of twenty four. Wanna beat the age bar, and become the youngest." Hiruzen gave a small laugh as he shook his head, and moved on to more concerning matters.

"While that is true Isago, there is one thing that separates Minato and myself from you, and that is why I have called you hear. Tell me, on the shinobi side of things, what is in a few days?" Isago put a hand to his pale skin, and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"If I'm correct Lord Third, the newest recruits of the shinobi forces have just graduated from the academy, so team placement and announcement should be made this following Monday." Hiruzen nodded, and pushed the folder that was in front of him towards Isago, letting the blue eyed man see it.

"You are correct, Isago. In four days time, the SPL (Shinobi Placement List) will be released, and sent to all those I have approved of to become a sensei. Which brings us to now. Originally, I had planned to place Kakashi Hatake as the Jonin-sensei to team seven, but upon further reflection, I have changed my idea." Isago nodded along, his brain already having come to the conclusion that Hiruzen was going to ask him to become a Jonin-sensei.

"Kakashi, while a loyal shinobi, is riddled by his past and in hopes of returning to ANBU Black ops, has deliberately failed four genin team already because he could not look past newly minted genin, fresh out of the academy, not having grade A, Jonin level teamwork." Isago nodded, having already known about his, and he used the term loosely, friends track record with failing genin.

"As you know, Sasuke Uchiha is the last of the Uchiha clan loyal to the Leaf, and Naruto Uzumaki is our Jinchuuriki. Failing these two are not an option, but I can trust very few in regard of treating and training Naruto fairly. Not including you, I believe Kakashi, Might Guy and my own son, Asuma Sarutobi are the only ones I could trust. Anyone else would be to big a risk." It was a sad truth, but one Hiruzen had come to agree on with himself. Kakashi knew of Naruto's lineage, and would never hurt the boy. Might Guy, while a fantastic shinobi, was a weird man to say the least, but very smart when he needed to be, and smart enough to know that Naruto was simply that. Naruto. And finally, their was Asuma, the Thirds 'estranged' son. Besides his mother, Biwako, Asuma had not lost any one close in the Nine Tails attack on the village. Everyone under the age of fifteen had been placed in a barrier, and while horrific to watch, the younger generation had never actually seen the Nine Tails up close. Having also talked to the man on his opinion about Naruto, The Third knew his son could be trusted.

But, Asuma and Guy had already been selected for a Genin team, or had one. Asuma would be the best sensei for Hiruzen to pick, as the sensei of the New Ino-Shika-Cho, while Guy himself had already had a genin team for about a year. Leaving one person, Kakashi, which made the Third rethink his choice of Isago.

"I see, so I guess you want me to watch of the kids Huh?" The third nodded, and motioned for Isago to take a look at the folder in his hands.

"Yes, but I can tell you now it will be no easy task. This team, team seven, will either be one big failure, or quiet possibly the greatest team we have ever churned out. On one hand, you have Sasuke Uchiha. This years rookie of the year, Brother of the S-rank Missing-nin Itachi Uchiha, son of 'Wicked Eye' Fugaku Uchiha, and a prodigy of the powerful Uchiha clan. Alongside him, you have Naruto Uzumaki. Jinchuuriki of the Nine Tailed fox.." Hiruzen cast his eyes to a portrait hanging on the wall. In it was a blonde man, his face set into serious look as his blue eyes stared into a camera. The look was not lost on Isago, though the black haired man said nothing of it.

"…. Son of two powerful shinobi, godson of my student Jiraiya… and the dead last of this year. With much room to grow, both boys have a plethora of talent, but yet due to their respective paths, they cannot over come the obstacles set out in front of them." Isago allowed his eyes to roam over the papers in his hand as he tried to study everything he could about the three genin he might agree to train.

"If I'm correct Lord Third, its safe to say neither boy will take well to working with each other. I've seen both boys in public before, and they're complete opposites. Sasuke tries to stick to the shadows, and not be noticed. Due to the suspicion surrounding Uchiha in general, most people ignore him except for fan girls. Naruto on the other hand practically demands attention from his pranks and loves to be the center of attention… Sakura, on the other hand…" Isago looked over Sakura Haruno's file papers, and frowned heavily.

"Most of the time, the Kunoichi's unspoken job is to be the mediator for the Shinobi. Sakura though, no matter what, will always take Sasuke's side and has even psychically attacked Naruto before." Isago shook his head in disproval. This team would require a lot of work, and honestly Isago wasn't sure he could do it.

"That is correct. Sakura… I have such high hopes for that girl, but she is the one I worry about the most. With two shinobi parents, I had expected better. Her father and mother, while genin themselves, are still shinobi." Hiruzen shook his head, no point on dwelling on it any longer.

"As you can see, this team has very, very many downs, and not a lot of ups. But, I trust you to train them well Isago. After all, it is you, Isago, that under stand those that need to find themselves the best." Isago sighed, his pale skin scrunching around the eyes as they closed tightly in consideration.

"I mean, I kinda made up my mind already, but, on one condition. Accept my condition, and I will take this team under my wing." Hiruzen sat for a quant second, his eyes narrowing as he tried to think of any possible thing Isago could be asking for. Deciding to just see what the young man wanted, Hiruzen nodded slightly.

"I want complete, and utter control of their lives. If I'm going to take them on as my students, then I don't want to be only their sensei, but also their mentor and guide into the world. Kami knows both boys need it. Neither have a father figure to guide them, and there is much the two need to learn. Sakura to, her parents are alive, and she's had a relatively sheltered life, but she needs help to. Agree to this, and I will take them on as students." Hiruzen gave Isago a questioning look, but didn't question his condition. Thinking it over, and all the possibilities Isago now had, the Third gave a small nod.

"Very well. Though they are now adults, I give you my backing on whatever you need to do. But, Isago, Do not make me regret this. They better be turned into fine shinobi." Isago stood up, and straightened out his Jonin vest. "Very well Lord Third, then I now accept this team. Sense I have a few days before the teams meet, I will use this time to come up with teaching strategies. And trust me, when I'm done with them, they'll very well be the next Sannin." Slowly Isago's body started to break apart into Iron Sand, and while it was gross to watch a mans arm fall off, followed by his head, it was also quiet interesting for the Third Hokage to see Isago's magnet release up close.

"That man will be the death of me I swear…" Dragging a hand down his face, Hiruzen couldn't help but feel pity for team seven. While a generally laid back man most of the time, Isago had a bit of a crazy side that came out when he was excited.

"Naruto… Being Naruto will most likely say something to excite Isago, and from there its all a matter of what breaks first. His mind, or his body." Still though, Isago would do a fine job of being a sensei, and Hiruzen trusted the young man to get the job done.
