Kakuzu walked down the hallway, it was well lit and had bright colors that reflected the the light directly into the eyes.
Why am I doing this, he thought, it's not like this normal for me.
He took long strides that took him far, his eyes darted back and forth, and his palms started to uncharacteristicly sweat.
Why am I so nervous, I've been in countless threatening situations, how can this be so frightening.
He passed door after door, his heart raced as he got closer to his destination. Soon he was there standing right in front of the door. It was a traditional sliding door with a wooden frame that had paper running in between the neatly cut squares in the doorway.
What possessed me to think that this was a good idea.
But he remembered, he know why he was doing this, legacy. That was the key word, the thing that was causing him to reach his hand out and grab the ingraved slit in the wood that acted as a hand hold used to open the knew that he'd die eventually dispite his near century of life, while still being in top condition. so he was here to find what he would leave behind.
The door opened.
"Oh, Kakuzu, your early." The man who said this was scarred with tied up hair, kinda making him look like a pinapple.
Kakuzu immediatly felt dozens of eyes on him, it took most of his self control to not pull a kunai out to defend himself.
"I decided that there was no point in holding this off, might as well get here early so we can get started," he replied. "No point in holding this off when it can be done earlier and the extra time I'll have could help in the long run."
"Very well, I was just finishing up the team assignments," Iruka said. "Class this is Kakuzu, he's one of the more prominent jonin in the village, this will be his first time taking on a genin team."
Kakuzu winced at the idea of being considered prominent, he had never been all that popular, even when time passed people still gave him a cold shoulder, but he didn't care, he had always gotten by with only himself with no one else.
"Team seven will be made up of Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Kiba Inuzuka with Kakashi Hatake as jonin sensei. Team 8 will have Naruto Unumaki, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuga with Kakuzu here as jonin sensei."(A/N: the rest is canon) "Everyone can wait here for their sensei except for team 8, who's sensei is already here."
So I have the villages jinchuriki on my team and he will have start from scratch unlike his teamates who have been trained by their clans, it will interesting to see if he can keep up.
"Alright, before you get too excited remember, your only genin the easiest rank to achieve, meet me at training ground 55 at noon, dismissed." Then he disappeared into water that fell to the floor, and so starts our story.
A/N: So first chapter of the first fanfic, what'd ya think? Sorry that it's so short, I want feedback before getting to serious. Why Kakuzu (the mask guy from the death of Azuma arc) is in the hidden leaf will be explaned in the next chapter, bye.
