Big Band: Ninja Style!

by: muaaimoi

- A very different team seven-

" Uh! When is our sensei getting here damn it!" A pretty whiskered blonde yelled as she banged her fist on the desk before her." Its been two whole HOURS!"

" Clearly, our sensei will be here once he deigns to appear Penny, as he can't possibly be here before then. Unless you subscribe to a non linear form of causality..." A tall, gangly teen offered, looking up from the thick science tome in his hands. Then he paused and seemingly drifted off into his thoughts.

" Shut up Sheldon" Penny and Leonard chorused, long used to being in class with the brainiac.

Leonard shot Penny a shy look over his glasses. The whisker marks were really quite fetching...

But the blonde girl simply glared at Sheldon , oblivious, causing Leonard to level him with his own dark look.

Sheldon simply blinked at them, coming back from his musings and inquiring," Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Jeez Sheldon," Penny complained,"Your hopeless!" How was she suppose to stay mad at him when he had no idea he was being annoying? The nerve of some people!

"Yeah", Leonard chuckled, "Hopeless". And this was the so called class genius?

" Your all hopeless" A voice interjected, startling all three teens.

Their jounin Sensei stood before them ,the expression on his face unreadable due to his mask.

"Lets see what I can do about name is Kakashi Hatake. Meet me on the roof in five minutes."

That said he poofed away, leaving the new genin to follow.

xXx

" So tell me about yourselves." Kakashi said in mild disinterest. Another year another genin team to fail. No matter how interesting the Demon holder, last Uchiha , or child genius were supposed to be. They were still kids and therefore; brats. Not worthy of his time or effort. Most especially effort, not when he could be wasting time he could have spent admiring Jiraya-sama's work.

" Um" Penny began," What kind of thing do you want us to say sensei?"

"Yeah" Leonard added," "can you give us an example?"

"well...I have no intention of telling you my likes and dislikes. As for hobbies? I have a few. My dreams are none of your business." Kakashi said.

" But that's not telling us anything at all!" Sheldon protested." Isn't the point of this meeting to get to know us? And test us some how? So you can decide weather or not you wanna train us?"

Penny and Leonard gaped at him.

If Kakashi hadn't been an experienced jounin he would have chocked. As it stood he gave the genin before him a very even look. " How do you know about that?"

" Statistics" Sheldon replied promptly.

" About ninety percent of graduating classes receive their head band " Sheldon said excitedly, fully prepared to go into explanation mode. Penny ,who's habit of coming late to class often resulted in sitting next to him, clamped her hand over his mouth automatically. There was no other way to stem the flow.

" So you really are a genius then?" Kakashi questioned. Not that he'd done the math, but that he'd bothered to look. It showed some initiative at least.

"I would have graduated at five if my mother hand forbidden it ." Sheldon said proudly. His team mates gaped further. Penny's mouth going especially wide as she tried to speak and no sound escaped her.

Kakashi blinked. "Why didn't she let you?"

"I come from a civilian family. Mother barely tolerates me being a Ninja as it is. The cultures between Shinobi and non-shinobi are very different." He further explained.

And thankfully shinobi culture was very secretive. He really doubted his mother would have allowed it if she found out that killing really was somewhat of a requirement. And that he wouldn't just be hauled up in the tower doing secret research . He often thanked his lucky stars that being a shinobi required exceptional skills in the field of deceit. And that the library carried quite a few volumes on how to improve one's own skill in the subject.

Kakashi blinked some more. As much as Shinobi Tensai where lauded, they really werent that rare. Or that smart. They where simply from Shinobi clans who trained them from birth. If they responded very well to the training, they where labeled geniuses. Tensai from civilian families where nearly unheard of. So maybe one of his genin really was interesting. Maybe.

"Five!" Penny squeaked, finally getting her throat to work. Leonard was still staring dumbly.

" That's what he said" Kakashi stated," So go ahead goldy locks."

" Goldy locks! My name is Uzumaki Penny! P-E-N-N-Y! And don't you forget it mister. Your gonna be the teacher of the most famous Ninja of the hidden leaf! I like ramen and flower accessories. I hate people who judge me before they know me and cant take a joke." Penny said," I guess my hobby is taijutsu training and taking care of my plant's. My dream is to be the most famous Ninja EVER! And have legions of adoring fans!"

Kakashi gave a subtle sigh, a primadonna with delusions of grandure. So much for potential.

" Four eyes" He prompted.

" I'm leonard Uchiha, I like studying nin-jutsu and eating oringini. I dislike people who speak behind others back . My hobby is training and my dream is to revive my clan."He concluded, shooting Penny another shy look she did't notice.

A fan boy. The collective result of countless of generations of serious, scary Ninja's and the last loyal of them was a fan Boy. Fugaku was probably rolling in his grave. But not nearly as much as Beverly.

He didn't have to grace Sheldon with an unwanted nickname as he took Leonard finishing as his que to start.

" I'm Sheldon Haruno. I enjoy reading and putting things Iv'e learned to good use. I dislike people and their inane banalities. My hobby is developing my own genjutsu and my dream is to be Hokage!" Sheldon finished with flourish.

Well, far be it for him to tell the kid not to dream to big. But that seemed to apply to all his genin. They'd get their own individual reality checks in time...Hopefully.

" As Sheldon said, your not fully fledged genin until I'm your sensei officially. Meet me in training ground Nine at Eight. And dont eat anything. You might throw up!" He finished cheerfully. So maybe he was curious to what his mismatched little team was capable of. Just a bit.

xXx

Okay so this is clearly crackish but it kept gnawing on me so here it is. I may continue it as a series of random one shots. but I'm not all that sure . What do you guy's think? Happy new year!
