Summary: What if Naruto had a best friend during his academy years and was put on a team with his best friend and a sensei that does not play favorites (No his friend is not any of the Rookie nine).
Prologue
"Ibiki, I need you to take a genin team." The Sandaime said
"Why me? I am the head of the torture and interrogation department. Not a babysitter." Ibiki exclaimed
"Because I know you will not play favorites unlike a certain Jounin I know (somewhere Kakashi sneezes) and you are the best choice for Uzumaki Naruto to help him become a great shinobi." The Sandaime replied
"Fine I'll do it. But I want a favor in return." Ibiki said
"I knew you might want something from this. So, what is the favor?" The Sandaime stated
"I want six weeks to train my students before giving them, their genin exam." Ibiki said
"That sounds fair enough. Oh and before you go and meet your team. I need to tell you that Karui is really a female but she dresses, acts, and talks like a boy." The Sandaime said
"Great, just what I need. Thank you Lord Hokage." Ibiki said
"You are quite welcome and you are dismissed." The Sandaime said. Ibiki nodded and disappeared in a swirl of leaves. Ibiki arrived at the academy, just in time to meet up with the other Jounin Instructors that have not gotten their team yet.
"So you got saddled with a team?" Kurenai asked
"Yeah so what's it to you." Ibiki replied
"Nothing." Kurenai said. Ibiki took a deep breath and walked into the classroom. What Ibiki saw in the classroom, was four teams left and one of them was his team.
"Team 6 with me." Ibiki said
