First off, this is "canon" as of chapter 669 (Madara arc) Anything after that will no longer be placed into the story. So don't leave comments saying "he/she is dead" or "he/she did this with so and so." This is my first fanfiction, but no where near my first ambitious writing project. I hope you enjoy this as much as i enjoyed writing it. Be sure to follow for updates! I promise ill try to squeeze as much time into this project as possible!
Prolouge: Squad Assignment.
The Hokage entered the room, mid-discussion, to a room filled with tension and passive aggressive argument. He knew what the subject matter was, and wasted no time hoping in.
"As you know, a young boy has came to the Leaf from Amegakure, and has insisted in joining the academy on his own avail." Konahamaru-Senpai stated.
"Yes, his name is Jashima. I heard word of him from ANBU reports." the Hokage said, nodding his head, wasting no time into joining argument. He caught the room off guard with his entrance.
"Well Lord, he passed the Academy genin test with flying colors, higher by far by any of our graduates. He is definatly of aptitude of a Konoha genin. Possibly higher." stated a Jonin in the room, looking across the long table to the Hokage, leaving no time for him to settle into the discussion, as he just entered.
"Now, now, hold your horses." The Hokage joked with light-heartedness behind his tone. "Let him start from the bottom and work his way up as we all did."
"Well in this case, we must make special arrangements in his team placement. Who was the highest scoring among our genin?" Konohamaru asked.
"Shota Uchiha, son of Sasuke and Sakura."
A single laugh filled the room of seriousness. It was Kakashi-Senpai. With being 48, his aging hair was of a more gray tone than usual, along with being shorter. His face was revealed fully, except for his left eye, concealed by his Leaf headband as always.
"Still gets me too this day that those too settled down" he uttered, whilst toning down his laughter.
The room returned to its thoughts of assigning this team of "elite" genin.
The Hokage smiled a split second after the laughter died down. A nostalgic look filled his eyes, as if past memories returned to him.
"Anyways, so who was the third highest scoring ninja on our exam. Preferably a Kunoichi for balance's sake." said the Hokage.
"Inoi Yamanaka, daughter of Sai and Ino." said a voice in the room.
Another wave of laughter filled the room, this time it was Yamato and Kakashi simultaneously. The Hokage himself even chuckled.
"Sorry, sorry." Yamato said. "Its just when I met Sai for the first time as a boy, he had no blatant motivation for even giving emotions."
Kakashi was quick to add on but he was cut off, by a contemplating voice. The voice, of Shikamaru.
"We can't have Inoi on that team, it'll disrupt the Shika-Ino-Cho we've had for generations. Why don't you put your daughter on this team?" A slight pause of awkward silence filled.
"That is of course, with your approval my Lord."
The Hokage was about to speak, until he was cut off by Kakashi. "There's no way that can work. It'd turn into a parental ran battle on whose offspring is a better ninja and Jashima's potential will go off checked." Kakashi's face went aloof, with no sign of the hesitation Shikamaru showed. But he was not done speaking.
"That and... she is a jinchiruuki, meaning she will do best in a team best built to her catering."
The Hokage nodded slowly, realizing the truth behind this statement, then said "Is there any other Kunochi that finished in the top five-percent?"
The room remained quiet, with the draft from the window causing a chill throughout the room.
"Well, why must it be a Kunoichi?" a voice asked.
"Because three boys on one squad will just cause conflict. These Boys are still children, and seek no more than competition of each other. A Kunoichi adds a voice of reason between the two boys."
More silence filled the room. Tension was awfully high for such a, well normally, easy task.
"Than its settled, Jashima, Shota, and Inoi." the Hokage stated aloud with a tone to say, 'this argument is over'.
"But my Lord, what about th-" Shikamaru was cut off by the Hokage. "Your son and Chojis son will be with my daughter. Final."
Shikamaru stayed quiet, than stood to walk out the door. "I hope you know what your doing, Naruto." He walked out the room, leaving only the sound of his steps in the hall behind.
The Hokage nodded, then quietly whispered. "I hope so too."
"So who will be senpai of this team. I warn you, these kids are possibly at a Chunin level as of now, and are capable despite their age. They will not be as easily manipulated as the others." Naruto said in seriousness.
"I" was whispered in the background, coming from somewhere out of the tables area.
The voice came from inside the window frame. No one noticed that, Obito,was there all along. "I see potential in Jashima, and want to take Shota in as a name of the Uchiha. Inoi also shows hope as a competent shinobi, after being trained by her father in his jutsu."
A veto came from the room. It was Konohamaru. "Obito-san, i respect you as a shinobi very much, but you're getting up there in age. You can take pupil in them on separate business."
"Like Jiraya-Sensai did with me" Naruto said aloud, with proudness in his old teachers name.
Obito remained quiet for a second, than simply sighed in disappointment. "Kakashi, Ichiraku at 8:00." He then used kamui to warp out of the windowsill where he had been sitting.
"Very well than." Naruto said. "Jashima, Shota, and Inoi, with Konohamaru as Sensai. Make all other team grouping accommodate the usual routine."
The room stood up from the table and walked out of the door in single file. Konohamaru was the last to leave.
"But Konohamaru, ANBU spy intel report that the boy hasn't much experience interacting with people and may misinterpret peoples words for the good or bad, and have trouble communicating with his team." Naruto said.
Konohamaru nodded, then asked "So what exactly is so special about Jashima?" He asked aloud to the Hokage, Naruto. "I just kinda played along to his whole big deal."
"His last name.. is.."
"Is what, my brother?"
"Is..Senju."
Konohamaru closed his eyes and looked down, then nodded his head in realization.
He then walked out the door of the Hokages office, and thought about the students he will have starting tomorrow."
One last breeze filled the halls as he walked.
