"You are the Kyuubi no Kitsune." The chunin academy teacher Mizuki screams at the young boy he tricked into stealing the forbidden scroll of seals. This was the container of the Kyuubi, a boy called Naruto. There was a law passed that made it illegal to tell any of the younger generation, punishable by death. Because of that Naruto was often abused by the villagers. Mizuki hoped that this revelation would be enough to distract the boy, giving him time to take the scroll.
He was however surprised at the boy's reaction. He just wiggled his pinkie in his ear and did nothing else. Mizuki tried again.
"Didn't you hear me? You are the Kyuubi." Naruto only responded with a yawn.
"I have known about the Kyuubi since I was six years old." Both Mizuki and Iruka, who had arrived earlier, was shocked at that confession. "By the way, I'm just the vessel. Stay back Iruka. Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu." The clearing was engulfed by smoke. When the smoke dispersed one hundred Naruto's filled the clearing. "Are you ready Mizuki. CHARGE!" Naruto screamed, and every Naruto started to attack. Five minutes later Mizuki lay unconscious on the ground, with very many broken bones. Iruka slowly approached Naruto.
"You really know about the fox?"
"Yup. Anyway, I should probably return the scroll to the old man and let the ANBU clean up here." An ANBU with long purple hair and a cat mask jumped down from the tree.
"Well done genin Uzumaki, you and Iruka head to the hokage and we'll clean up here."
"Will do Cat." Naruto said as he gave a salute and jumped away with the scroll, a confused Iruka following.

In the Hokage's office Naruto was handing over the forbidden scroll while Iruka looked on confused from where he sat.
"Here you go Jiji, the forbidden scroll. Just like I said." The Hokage gratefully accepted the scroll and leaned back in his chair.
"Thank you, Naruto, I trust that you won't teach other people the jutsu you learnt today." Seeing Naruto raise an eyebrow he answered the unasked question. "I saw everything from my globe."
"Of course, your perving globe." The Hokage glared at the genin. "You don't have to worry about me teaching anybody."
Iruka had had enough of not getting answers and interrupted them from continuing.
"Hokage-sama, are you telling me you knew the whole-time what Naruto was doing?" He received a nod in response.
"Naruto approached me when he received the instructions from Mizuki. We still needed to act as if the situation was real so Mizuki wouldn't be tipped off. How else do you think the ANBU arrived so fast?"
"But how did he learn about the fox?"
The hokage got a dark look over his face when the question had been asked. He looked over at Naruto who looked equally depressed, seeing a miniscule nod he turned back to the teacher.
"The Yondaime wanted the villagers to see the child chosen as the container as a hero. A hero that held back the force which almost destroyed the entire village, he always was quite idealistic. The villagers spat at his wish in the worst sort of way.
Without going into details all I'm going to say is that when Naruto was six years old an incident occurred which landed him in hospital for months, for both physical and psychological healing. During that time, he encountered the fox." He saw that Iruka at this point hung onto every word that he said. Looking over to the child he could see tears starting to form. Just thinking about what happened, he almost reduced himself to tears, but he soldiered on.
"I can still see the changes in Naruto's personality. After that incident he put up a mask of the dead last goofy, energetic always smiling idiot that everybody now knows."
Iruka looked chocked at that revelation.
You mean his behaviour is fake?" The Sandaime Hokage got a thoughtful look on his face thinking how best to answer that.
"Yes and no. While it's true that most of what you see is a mask, some parts aren't, like him never giving up. Tell me Iruka what do you think of Naruto's jumpsuit and his pranks?" Taken aback by the question, it took Iruka a while to answer the question.
"I would say that it's attention seeking behaviour. I honestly can't think of any other reason for that jumpsuit."
"Would you answer the question Naruto?" Naruto dried his tears on the jumpsuit before answering.
"I used the pranks in order to train myself to be a better shinobi. If you switch the pranking equipment, I use with more deadly equipment you can see how much I would be able to actually hurt the village. When it comes to the jumpsuit, part of it is that it is the only clothes that the stores sell me. It has however worked in my advantage to train me in stealth. I managed to pain the hokage monument in a bright orange jumpsuit without anybody noticing till I drew attention to it myself, I'm that good." He replied sporting a wide grin.
The Sandime chuckled at the gobsmacked expression the chunin teacher wore.
"Naruto, now that you are a genin you can remove the mask and I can finally remove the seal." Seeing how Iruka now looked completely chocked and a little afraid he calmed the man down. At the same time Naruto walked over and stood next to him with his back towards the old man. "It is not the Kyuubi's seal I'm going to remove. Now don't you find it weird how nobody really remembers Naruto before he left the hospital when he was six?" Iruka thought hard but he himself couldn't remember the boy before around that time. "There is a very good reason for that."
While he had spoken, he revealed a seal on the back of Naruto's neck which he quickly and skilfully removed. After it was removed Naruto started to change. His face became thinner and more angular, his body slimmed down, and his whiskers disappeared. The two biggest changes however were the straight red har that now flowed down to his waist, and a pair of breasts.
"Welcome back Nariko." The hokage said with a smile on his face before being hugged by the now to have been revealed girl in front of him.
"WHAT!" Was all Iruka could shout before he passed out from shock.
XXXXX
In the T&I department the ANBU operative Cat was talking to her good friend after having brought in Mizuki when their conversation was interrupted by Iruka's shout.
"What was that about?" He purple haired friend asked.
"She's back!" Was all the answer that was needed for both women to smile happily knowing their girl was back.
XXXXX
Nariko looked down at her unconscious teacher with a small smile.
"Well, he took that well." The Sandime chuckled.
"Why don't you return home. I think you have a few things to take care of. Return here tomorrow at noon to register and meet your sensei." Nariko raised an eyebrow at that.
"Shouldn't I meet my sensei with everybody else at the academy?"
"I don't think that is necessary, after all, you will be alone with your sensei. Now leave and I will explain to Iruka when he wakes up."
"Thank you, old man." Nariko says as she leaves by the window.
XXXXX
The following day at noon a transformed Nariko stood in the Hokage's office. Her hair was done in a French braid that ended at her neck in a ponytail that went midway down her back. She was dressed in black, baggy shinobi pants, black shinobi sandals, a weapon holster adorned her right thigh. She wore a black and baggy long sleeved turtleneck shirt. And she wore her forehead protector on her forehead.
The Sandime smiled sadly at the sight. She looked like she wasn't quite comfortable yet being back to female. Not surprising considering how long she spent as a boy and what happened before she turned to Naruto. He hoped the sensei he had in mind would bring her out of her shell and into the beautiful young woman he knew exists under all those baggy clothes.
"How did it go with Iruka yesterday?" Nariko asks her substitute grandfather.
"I explained a little more when he woke up. Don't worry, I didn't tell him any detail about the incident." He saw the girl let out the breath she had been holding. "How are you feeling finally being yourself?"
"It's a bit weird. I feel more vulnerable than before." She reached under her forehead protector and pulled out a cigarette that she lit with fire chakra. "After I left your office yesterday and had changed my clothes, I headed to the Hyuga compound and spoke with Hiashi and Hinata. They helped a bit. I also think it helped to sleep in the compound." The Sandime smiled at that. He already knew she smoked, having been the one to accidentally introduce her to tobacco.
"It doesn't surprise me that you feel vulnerable now after what happened. I got a missive from Kiri this morning." Nariko leaned forward in anticipation. "Your aunt wrote that now that she is Mizukage she is going to drop the Terumi name and take up her birth name Uzumaki again. She also sent some scrolls with techniques for your bloodlines."
"YES!" Nariko yelled and pumped her hand.
Before she could continue, she was interrupted by the door of the office opening and Anko Mitarashi walking through.
"Sorry I'm late Hokage-sama, but I just got evicted from my apartment. Something about snake whores not being good for business." She stopped speaking as she saw who else was in the room with her.
"Welcome Anko. I think you know your student?" Hiruzen says with a smile on his face.
"Anko-onee-chan is my sensei? / Nariko-chan is my student? AWESOME!" Both yells simultaneously in response.
"Yes, seeing how you already know each other from before I felt it prudent to have you teach her. You are one of the few jonin that Nariko trusts Anko."
"I'm grateful for this opportunity Hokage-sama." Having finished with the formalities she turned to her student. "Now hang on girlie." She placed her hand on her shoulder and they disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

The duo remerged in one of the many training fields that exists in and around Konoha.
"Now that you officially are my student, I can finally start to teach you properly." Anko tells the smoking girl. "What would you say your skills are?"
Nariko lay down on the grass and looked up at the clouds. "My taijutsu sucks, since nobody at the academy actually taught me. Since I have so much chakra, my genjutsu is really bad. I can do the tree walking exercise, but I haven't gotten further than that. My best areas are shurikenjutsu and ninjutsu. I had the best accuracy in my year, and I know one boil release and one lava release technique outside of the academy three." Anko looks at her student with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"That's a good start. We will see if we can find a tajutsu style for you to learn. I don't think you have a real future as a genjutsu mistress, nor do I think you are interested in that. What I'm mostly going to teach you is assassination techniques and interrogation techniques. I would love to know how the civilian council will react to me teaching you." Nariko chuckles in amusement. She had known Anko for several years already and knew how much and why Anko was hated. She found herself truly admiring and looking up to Anko, both as a kunoichi and as a woman. "The first thing we are going to take care of however is the kunoichi specific classes I know you missed out on. Including seduction and the sexual arts. With your physical henge you are a shoe in for those types of missions."
"R…r…really?" Nariko asks nervously as she things about what that would mean as she tenses up.
"Don't worry Nariko-chan, it's a rule really that you will only be sent on those types of missions that fit your sexual orientation." Nariko relaxes again and thanks her sensei.
"Now, let's talk about your current outfit. It sucks." Nariko lowered her head in shame and feels tears threaten to fall. "I don't blame you kid. You went through hell and honestly, it's a miracle you're still sane. The thing is that as a kunoichi you have to be confident about your body and know exactly how to use it to your advantage."
"What should I do Anko-sensei?" The genin asks as she wipes her eyes.
"First of all none of this Anko-sensei, just regular Anko will do." Nariko nodded seeing how Anko was slowly pulling out a kunai and making her point. "The reason is quite simple really. You have spent the last eight years as a boy, and you need to get back your confidence as a woman. A 14-year-old woman, but a woman still. As such I should warn you that your outfit will be more revealing than what you will be comfortable with."
"I guess that's for the best Anko." Nariko agrees after some time thinking. She discards her cigarette butt and lights a new one.
"We will continue this tomorrow as I now need to find a new place to live as I have been evicted." Anko says in fake cheeriness that doesn't fool Nariko at all.
"Why don't you move in with me?" Nariko asks, before backing up from how fast her sensei turned towards her. "I mean, I moved into the Uzumaki compound yesterday. While it isn't on the size of the Uchiha, or the Hyuga compound it's still too big for one person alone."
She was quickly knocked to the ground by a flying hug from Anko.
"Thank you, Nariko-chan." She squeaks before standing up and brushing dirt of her clothes. "Now that that's taken care of, I can begin to plan your outfit, or do you think we should try and find a taijutsu style for you."
"I know there are a bunch of clan scrolls at the compound, if we're lucky we may find a style that suits me there, so I give you permission to start using me as a dress up doll."
"Thank you for showing me so much trust."
"I have known you for years and you helped me during my darkest days."
"You are too cute to wear a sad expression. Now remove your shirt and pants and let me see what I'm working with." Nariko fell back in shock as her eyes went wide as saucers.
"WHAT?"
"First of, the clothes you are wearing are completely hiding your body and has a risk of getting in the way. Secondly, this place is a very remote and rarely used, nobody will se you here. If it works, try seeing it as a test."
Gritting her teeth before lighting yet another cigarette she grabs the hem of her shirt. Thinking it's best to just do it all at once she pulls of her shirt. Not daring to stop she quickly unbuckled her pants and pulled them down. Now she was standing completely red-faced, in front of Anko in her plain grey underwear.
Anko slowly started to walk around her closely inspecting her. Nariko had to work hard to prevent herself from covering up.
"You look good." She commented as she carefully caressed Nariko's breast before moving her other hand behind her and doing the same to her ass before squeezing making Nariko yelp in surprise. "You have a very curvy body for your age. I think you will end up with tits the size of mine. You have a very firm ass and shapely legs. The best thing according to me is how muscular you are. You have muscular legs and arms, but the most obvious being very big and pronounced abs that even most shinobi would kill for. You may get dressed."
Nariko reached down and slowly got dressed in her clothes again. Just as she got her shirt back on, she was engulfed in a big comforting hug by Anko.

Anko was currently drinking at a bar together with some of her fellow jonin sensei. They were Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, Maito Gai and Kurenai Yuhi.
"What do you think of you think of your youthful students so far. Are they burning with the flames of youth?" The green beast asks his fellow shinobi.
"They should be fine." Asuma responds. "They are the kids of the Ino-Shika-Cho after all. Ino is the bossy one who will push the other two to train, sadly she seems to have done little of that herself. Choji is good he just seems to be a bit too gentle. Shikamaru just seem to be lazier than his father."
"I think I will have quite the successful tracking team." Kurenati comments. "Shino will be good to have with his insects helping track. He also possesses a very logical mind. Kiba is very brash but he does have a good nose on him. I will just have to talk with Tsume about how he views women. The real surprise however is Hinata. I thought she would be very shy and reclusive like it said on the report, but she seemed to have found her confidence overnight."
"I know she faked it to a certain degree." Asuma says to her as an explanation. "Don't get me wrong, she really is shy and a bit reclusive, but I know she played that up and hid her real abilities. How about your team Kakashi?" Said jonin took a swig from his sake before speaking.
"If I wasn't ordered to pass them, I wouldn't have even bothered with the real test tomorrow. Sasuke is an avenger with both a superiority and inferiority complex. He demands power to kill his brother but doesn't want to do any work for it and thinks his teammates are just a waste of space. Sakura is the worst fangirl I have ever seen, and I honestly don't know how she became to top kunoichi. Luckily the third member of my team, Jin Kazama has shown promise and is very talented in taijutsu. He can mix both lightning and fire with his taijutsu style." The rest of the jonin patted his back in comfort knowing how hard it would be for him to work with his team.
"How about you Anko?" Asuma asks the kunoichi. "How did it go today?"
"What do you mean Asuma? I don't remember Anko receiving a team." Kurenai asks the bearded jonin. Next to her Gai nods in agreement.
"I was given a single student." She grins widely sending shivers down the other's spine. "I will be teaching Nariko Uzumaki."
"Who, if I may ask, is this Nariko Uzumaki?" Gai asks. "The only Uzumaki I know of in Konoha is the youthful Naruto."
"Naruto Uzumaki never existed." Anko responds, anger slipping through her voice. "After an incident when she was young, the hokage put a seal on her which made her take the form of a boy."
"How is she adapting?" Kakashi asks, showing a rare moment of full attention.
"She is nervous, she doesn't know how people will react when they find out. I think she still feels a bit of shame for what happened. She became even more nervous when I told her one of the things, I will teach her is seduction."
"Why would you teach a young innocent genin something like that?" Kurenai demands, shocked at her friend's plan. She was surprised however when the air turned old and all smiles disappeared from Anko's, Kakashi's and Asuma's faces.
"She has been through more than even you have Kurenai. She has also lived for the last eight years as a boy. The outfit she showed up with today hid everything that identifies her as a woman. She will need those seduction lessons to be able to walk down the street confidently. It does also help that she can use a real shapeshift technique. That means that tomorrow we're going shopping, and I have been given freedom to do whatever I want." The grin Anko gains worries the others. "I will be teaching her other things, such as assassination and interrogation."
"I would guess she would be quite nervous. This is her big return after all." Asuma comments with a sad smile on his face.
"Oh she was. She went through an entire pack of cigarettes from the time we met at the old man's office to when I left for here."
"You're not against your student doing something as dangerous a smoking?" Kurenai once again demands.
"Like I said, you don't know anything about her. If you should blame anyone you should blame old man hokage, as it was him that first got her hooked."
"My eternal rival, you and Asuma doesn't seem surprised by this youthful change of gender. Why is that?"
"We were some of the few people that knew of her real gender."
"Who did know this youthful information?" Gai asks. Anko is the one that answers.
"Me, Kakashi, Asuma, the clan heads, the ANBU commander, Ibiki, the Ichiraku's, Yugao Uzuki, Hana Inuzuka and Hinata Hyuga. There might be other I don't know of." She counts up with her fingers.
"I thought Hinata had a crush on Naruto?" Kurenai says thinking about the Hyuga in her team.
"It's more like she admires Nariko. She used her so called crush to hide her real abilities. It is impressive that she can blush and faint on command. She used that to make people underestimate her."
"You should bring Nariko sometimes so she can learn to work together with our teams. It will help if they get stuck on missions together." Asuma tells Anko as he begins to light a cigarette before a glare from Kurenai make him stop.
"It sounds good, probably need some more training first. Luckily she has given me permission to help her look through her clan scrolls to find a taijutsu style that work for her." She sees Kakashi give a nod of approval. He had never liked the amount of sabotage his surrogate little sister went through.

The following day it was a new Nariko that showed up with her sensei at the hokage tower to get their first mission. Her outfit had changed since the day before. While her hair was kept the same, she now wore dark brown knee-high leather boots, white pants with weapon pouches on each thigh and a dark brown sash covering her hips. On her upper body she wore a black sports bra and an open, short light-brown jacket with the Uzumaki clan symbol on her front left pocket and a red spider lily on the back. (Think the Attack on Titan uniform but without the shirt.) Her forehead protector hangs around her neck, protecting her throat. This attire shows of both her feminine curves and her muscular body. As she walked behind her sensei, she wondered how the old man would react. She thought back to this morning.
FLASHBACK
Nariko was currently in her kitchen making a veggie and egg scramble for breakfast when her sensei stumbles in from her bedroom and sit down at the table with her head resting on it.
"Good morning Anko-onee-chan. I have made you some breakfast." Anko raised her head and looked at her student.
"Thank you. How are you so awake this early in the morning?"
"I have been up for three hours working out , including running around the village, for three hours already. I'm assuming you are hungover from drinking yesterday."
"Yeah, met up with some other jonins that either has a team or will take a team. They know about your real identity now by the way." Nariko just shrugs her shoulders as she gives Anko a plate of the food.
"They would find out eventually. Who did you tell?"
"Asuma and Kakashi was there so they helped explain some things. It was Gai and Kurenai that didn't know."
"The green eyebrow freak and your friend?"
"Yeah, we kept the information vague, but they understood." Anko snorts as she remembered the evening. "You know how I told you Kurenai is all prim and proper?" Seeing the nod she continued. "First, she tried to get mad at me for teaching you seduction, that was easily deflected. Then she got mad for allowing you to smoke. Hopefully she will yell at the old man since I told her it was his fault." She saw the girl smile at that. "This is really good food by the way."
"When you have lived alone for as long as I have you pick up things. I find it amusing how people assume the ramen I eat at Ichiraku's is unhealthy. It doesn't even cross their minds that ramen could be turned healthy." She turns quiet for a moment. "Thank you for yesterday. It felt good remembering that I'm actually a girl." Anko couldn't help but smile at the honesty. That was the reason she had pushed her as far as she had.
"Don't sweat it kid. Hey, what happened to your whiskers?" For the first time today she noticed that her student was missing her trademark whisker marks.
"During the night I visited Kyu-chan and she agreed to remove them for me." Anko nods at that knowing that Nariko is in contact with the Kyuubi and sees her as an older sister.
"Well, hurry up and let's go shopping. Then you will have your first mission."
One hour later Anko was standing outside of a changing room at her favourite weapon shop Higurashi weapons talking to the owner Dustin.
"Are you expecting me to wear this?" A voice could be heard saying from the changing room.
"Of course, do you really think I would send you in there to change into something ridiculous just to make fun of you. What makes you think I would do that?"
"You are a sadistic bitch who loves to cut people up an making them scream." Nariko deadpans earning a laugh from Dustin. "Haven't you forgotten a piece of clothing?"
"Nope, everything that I planned is with you. Now get out here."
Slowly the redhead exits the changing room and stands before her sensei.
"It looks perfect. What do you think Dustin?" The shop owner looks over the young genin with a critical eye.
"I must admit I thought you were crazy, but it actually works."
One payment later and Anko was practically dragging her student through the village to the hokage tower. Poor Nariko couldn't stop blushing from all the attention she was getting.
END FLASHBACK
Anko knocked the door before receiving the go ahead call. Inside his office Hiruzen Sarutobi was sitting enjoying a peaceful day without much paperwork when his favourite new genin arrived. He was shocked by the transformation that had happened in just one day. Where she had hid herself under baggy clothes just one day ago, she was now showing of her body. And while the attire was a bit unusual, it worked for her.
"Team Anko here for a mission hokage-sama." Anko calls out formally. The hokage looks over the pile of D-ranks he has before pulling one out. Before giving it to them he had to ask something.
"Nariko, may I ask what was in the scroll Mei-dono sent you?" Nariko smiled widely at the question.
"There were nature manipulation exercises for both lava and boil release. A few lava release techniques in varying ranks. The most exciting thing was the boil release technique she sent. It's called Boil Release: Unrivaled Strength and it's a ninjutsu you use in tandem with taijutsu. The user increases the temperature of chakra to the boiling point, generating large amounts of steam and evaporating any water or ice in direct contact with their body. The pressure resulting from this emitted steam can then be used to increase the force behind physical attacks, giving the user immense strength. The biggest problem is that it requires more chakra control then what I currently have." The hokage actually dropped his pipe.
"That sounds like and amazing technique. I hope you will work hard to master it."
"I will Jiji."
"Good, now your mission is to help the Inuzuka walk their dogs." He handed over the mission scroll to Anko, and they walked away.

Walking into the Inuzuka compound they didn't have to look long before finding Tsume and Hana.
"Tsume, Hana, we're here to walk your dogs." Anko called out. Immediately Anko was knocked to the ground by a flying Hana who began making out with her. Both Nariko and Tsume rolled their eyes, knowing this happened every time the girlfriends met.
"It's great to see you as yourself again Nariko." Tsume says as she gives the girl a hug. "I must say that you look great. You're going to need to beat the guys away with a stick."
"Thanks Tsume. If any guy comes on me, I will break their arms and continue from there, even if it is your son."
"If my son does that you have my permission to do whatever is necessary. Luckily he is currently doing his real genin test, so you don't have to worry about him now." Nariko thanked her and then looked at the two women on the ground going at it.
"Should we throw water at them or what?" Tsume looks and then shakes her head.
"It's better to let them go at it. They have spoken about moving in together, but sadly so few people want to house Anko." Nariko's face grows dark.
"So, what you're saying is that I should be prepared for another house guests as Anko has moved in with me at the Uzumaki compound?" Tsume snickers at the look on her face.
"It would probably be for the best." She looks at the couple before howling at them. "OI, GET UP NOW." Nariko could honestly say that she thinks they were faster than the hiraishin in getting up.

Hiruzen was enjoying his pipe looking out over the village, glad that the day's paperwork was finished. Normally he would read his student's literature, but was unsure how Nariko would react, knowing how much she despised perverts. He was brought out from his musings as he saw two people standing outside of his window walking in.
"Anko do you have to pass down your habit of entering through my window?" Anko just smiles at the old man.
"Are you saying that I shouldn't teach her everything I know?" Ignoring the deadpanned expression on the village leader's face and the laughter erupting from her student and continued. "Anyway, mission accomplished. The Inuzuka dogs are walked. They love Nariko, so it was easy."
"Not that you would notice sucking the face of your girlfriend." Nariko ads in the background. She physically backs away from the speed Anko turns around.
"Good work you two being the first genin team of this year that completes a mission. Nariko, you may leave. Anko please stay." He raised an eyebrow when Nariko didn't move.
"Jiji, would you be interested in a way to complete your paperwork faster?" Hiruzen threw himself on his knees at her.
"Please tell me how to defeat my worst enemy. I will give you anything you want."
"Give me a scroll on the Body Flicker and we will be good. Have you thought about using shadow clones?" The old man stands up, walk over to the wall, puts a big indent in the form of his head before retrieving a scroll, which he hands over before engulfing her in a massive hug.
Thirty seconds passed and he refused to let go of Nariko. Nariko who tried to get loose, even attempting to use the Puppy Eyes no Jutsu on her teacher, who was busy rolling on the ground laughing. He finally let go, when the door opened again and the jonins who had been testing teams walked through.
He immediately let go of Nariko and practically flew back to his seat ignoring the snickering from some of the jonins. Nariko's face turned red in embarrassment and she pulled a cigarette from her right chest pocket and lit it.
"Hello Asuma, Kakashi. How the hell are you on time Cyclops?" Asuma and Anko laughs while most other jonins wonder who this genin is that can speak so familiar with two of their most elite jonins.
"I promise you Nariko that it was not by my choice. It was from a mixture of threats and blackmail."
"Good, I thought you were sick. Bye." She quickly leaves the room to the jonins.
"She looks good, nice work Anko." Asuma says as he looks toward the jonin.
"Thank you, she is doing great so far." Not wanting this meeting to take longer than necessary the hokage interrupts it from going further.
"Everybody, please tell me if your team passed or not."
"Team 1 failed."
"Team 2…just no."
"Every member of team 3 ended up in hospital from self-inflicted injuries."
"Team 4 just fought with each other."
"Team 5 failed."
"I was in more danger from the tree I sat against, than the team 6."
"Team 7 passed." The people that didn't know he had no choice stared at Kakashi in shock. He had never passed a team before."
"Team 8 passed."
"Team 10 passed."
"Team Anko passed." Anko quickly interjected.
The hokage nodded, but inside he was disappointed. They seriously needed to take a look over the academy if only the teams with clan members passed.
"Everybody but Asuma, Anko, Kakashi and Kurenai please leave." He waited until the other left before continuing. "How did they do, please start Kurenai."
"I gave them the mission to catch me before putting them in a genjutsu. They worked well together and used their skills to the best of their abilities. Shino is truly frightening with his abilities with his bugs. Hinata is better than anything her files say. Kiba and Akamaru work well together and have good noses. The only problem I think will occur with my team is that Kiba is under the impression that he is the ultimate Alpha Dog." Hiruzen nodded and in his mind agreed with Kurenai.
"Thank you Kurenai. What about your team Asuma?"
"They work well like expected. I told them to capture me and hold me for ten seconds. It took Shikamaru two minutes to come up with a strategy and five minutes later I was caught. The problem I see with my team is to motivate them to actually train and practice."
"Nice work Asuma. How about you Kakashi?" Kakashi gave a deep sigh.
"They suck in all honesty. Sakura is the worst fangirl I have ever met. The only thing she has going for her is that she is book smart and has almost perfect chakra control. That is only because she barely has more chakra than civilians. She is dieting and I doubt she will ever train. Sasuke isn't anywhere as good as the report says, I think they played up his skills to make him rookie of the year. While he is good at taijutsu and used at least one fire technique he has the completely wrong mentality. In all honesty, he will probably abandon the village if somebody offers him a faster path to power. Jin Kazama is honestly better than Sasuke. He has good fundamentals, he is probably a future taijutsu specialist. He can mix in lightening and fire release with his taijutsu on some strikes. He even tried to use a genjutsu on me, which failed but it was a good attempt. The only reason they passed the bell-test was after Jin offered his lunch to Sakura who was tied up."
"I see. Kakashi do your best to train them but keep a close eye on Sasuke. Anko?"
"Nariko is great. While her taijutsu is sub-par, we will work on finding a style and implement the technique she told you about old man with it. The most we will be able to do with her genjutsu is teach her to break out of them, nothing else. You know how much chakra she has, this will make it easier for her to learn ninjutsu, but we will need to work hard on her control. She has showed interest to join the T&I so I will teach her some interrogation techniques. I won't tell you what test she passed as it is much more personal than the others. On another note, I can tell you that she is reaching Gai level in how much she works out. Coupled with her diet it isn't surprised how strong and muscular she is."
"I thought she only ate ramen? How is that healthy?" Kurenai asks. The hokage decides to answer for Anko.
"If you go to Ichiraku ramen and ask for a Nariko special, you will find that they have created a very healthy type of ramen."
"I can also say that she is a good cook." Anko interjects.
"Anko, I want you to focus on Nariko's chakra control. In ninjutsu, she should focus on what was given to her in the scroll. Find her a taijutus style. I also want you to improve her stealth. I give you permission to assign infiltration, stealth and sabotage test for her by pranking targets I will give out."
The smile on Anko sent shivers down almost every inhabitants of Konoha's spines.
