"Team Eight will be Sarutobi Asuma, Uchiha Isamu, and Nara Mikazuki. Your sensei will be Uchiha Fugaku."
A girl with long black hair turns to look at the black-haired boy sitting next to her.
"I told you we'd be teammates, Asuma-kun."
"Yeah, but now we're stuck with that Uchiha teme."
"Uchiha-san is not that bad, Asuma-kun. Stop being troublesome."
Another black-haired boy approaches the duo.
"Hello, Nara-san, Sarutobi-san. May I sit next to you?"
Mikazuki turns and smiles at the boy.
"Of course, Uchiha-san."
"Please call me Isamu."
"Okay, Isamu-kun. Then you should call me Mikazuki."
"Call me Asuma."
Isamu nods and sits down next to Mikazuki. A few minutes later, a grumpy-looking man enters the room.
"Team Eight, come with me."
Isamu, Mikazuki, and Asuma get up and follow the man out of the room. Asuma waves at the other new genin as he leaves and most of them wave back at him. A boy in goggles narrows his eyes when Asuma looks at him. Asuma smirks, then looks away and notices that Mikazuki is glaring at him.
"Don't be troublesome, Asuma-kun."
Asuma sighs and shakes his head.
"Come on, Mika-chan. Obito-baka deserves it."
"Someday you'll regret treating him like that, Asuma-kun. Didn't you hear who his sensei is?"
"No, I wasn't paying attention."
"Namikaze Minato."
Asuma's eyes widen in shock and he turns to look at Obito for a moment before looking back at Mikazuki.
"I'm screwed, aren't I?"
Mikazuki nods in response, then turns and follows Isamu and Fugaku. Asuma groans and follows his teammates and sensei. Fugaku leads his three new students to the Military Police headquarters.
"We'll meet here every day at eight before we head to a training ground. As my students, you'll be working closely with the military police. I expect all three of you to be extremely respectful and not hinder any of my officers. Nara-san, I read your file from the Academy. Can you really use chakra scalpels?"
Mikazuki raises her hands and green chakra forms around them, then she looks around for something she can demonstrate on.
"You can heal yourself, can't you?"
Mikazuki nods, then releases the chakra on one hand and in one swift motion, slashes through the muscles at her shoulder. Her arm falls limp against her side. Fugaku nods, then motions for the girl to heal herself. Once she has done so, he motions for the trio to follow him again. The three rookie genin quickly follow their new sensei and he leads them to his home.
"My wife insisted on meeting my new students. I expect the three of you to be on your best behavior. Mikoto is expecting our first child."
Mikazuki, Asuma, and Isamu nod and silently follow their sensei inside. The three stop and take their shoes off inside the door. A black-haired woman appears in a doorway and smiles gently at the trio.
"Fugaku-kun, Kushina-chan is here. She wanted to meet your students too."
"Oh! They're adorable!"
"Troublesome."
Kushina laughs and pinches Mikazuki's cheek. Mikazuki rubs her cheek and stares at Kushina slightly resentfully.
"Maybe you should try to be less adorable, Mika-chan."
Mikazuki glares at Asuma & punches him in the arm. Asuma rubs his arm and mumbles an apology. Kushina grins widely and turns to Fugaku and Mikoto.
"I like the girl. Can I steal her from you, Fugaku-baka?"
"No, you cannot steal one of my students."
Kushina pouts and glares at Fugaku, then she wraps her arms around Mikazuki.
"But she wants to come with me."
Mikazuki pulls away from Kushina and glares at Asuma, then she shoves Asuma toward Kushina.
"Asuma-kun really admires you, Kushina-sama. He's always fanboying about how great of a ninja you are."
Asuma splutters indignantly and Kushina wraps her arms around Asuma.
"Oh, that's so cute! You can be my student too!"
Mikoto smiles at the antics of her friend and the genin, then she turns her attention to Isamu.
"What do you think of your teammates, Isamu-kun?"
"They're better than I expected, Mikoto-sama. I actually like them."
"And what is that supposed to mean?! Were your expectations of us that low?! What did you think we would be like?!"
Isamu stares at Mikazuki sheepishly.
"Honestly, I expected the two of you to refuse to work with me because I'm an Uchiha."
Mikazuki frowns at Isamu's response.
"That would make us stupid. Do you think we're stupid?"
"Not you. Asuma-san's intelligence is still debatable."
"Hey! I'm right here!"
Mikazuki giggles at Isamu's words and Asuma glares at Isamu.
"You'll fit in just fine with us. And if anyone acts troublesome toward you, just let me know and I'll deal with it. People will learn quickly not to mess with my teammates."
Isamu nods and smiles at Mikazuki. Kushina releases Asuma and turns to Fugaku.
"Minato-kun has a team now too. He would like to do a joint training session sometime, if you want."
"That would be acceptable. My team will decimate his quickly."
Mikazuki, Asuma, and Isamu nod and stare at Kushina with determined expressions. Kushina smiles, then turns to Mikoto.
"Thank you for the tea, Mikoto-chan. I have to go and meet up with Minato-kun and his students now."
Mikoto nods and walks her friend to the door. Fugaku nods at his students and enters the sitting room. Asuma, and Isamu quickly follow him. Mikazuki waits for Mikoto to return.
"Is there anything I can help you with, Mikoto-sama?"
"Thank you. I could use some help making more tea and getting it to the sitting room, along with cups and saucers."
Mikazuki nods and follows Mikoto into the kitchen. Mikoto begins to make the tea while Mikazuki gathers the cups and saucers.
"Thank you for helping me, Mikazuki-chan."
"Please call me Mika-chan. Only my mother calls me Mikazuki-chan when I'm in trouble."
Mikoto smiles at Mikazuki and pulls the girl into a hug.
"Kushina was right! You are too cute!"
Mikazuki lets out an indignant huff.
"I am not cute! Tiny harmless things are cute! I'm not tiny or harmless, therefore I am not cute!"
Mikoto giggles at Mikazuki's logic.
"How can I argue with such infallible logic? Now let's get back to the boys."
"Hai, Mikoto-sama."
Mikazuki picks up the tray with the cups and saucers on it, then follows Mikoto down the hall to the sitting room.
"I made jasmine cha tea."
Mikazuki carefully sets the tray down on the table. Isamu peers at her face and his eyes narrow slightly.
"Are green eyes common in the Nara clan?"
Mikazuki jerks back in surprise and falls backwards.
"W-w-what do you mean by that?!"
"Leave Mika-chan alone about her eyes. She doesn't like to talk about them."
"Why not? I think they're pretty."
Mikazuki glares at Isamu.
"My eyes are not pretty. They're horrible. Everyone in the clan looks down on me because of them. They mark me as only half Nara."
"Are the rumors true then? Was your father a missing-nin?"
"I don't know. Kaa-chan won't tell me. All she'll say is that I have the same eyes as him and that I shouldn't be ashamed of him."
Fugaku nods and hums thoughtfully.
"Won't she tell you his name?"
"No. She refuses to because she's afraid I'll try to find out more information about him."
"Would you?"
"Yes. I want to actually know who he is."
