"Team 7"
"Uchiha Sasuke"
Ah, there it came, team seven. Akira already knew who was in team seven for she had seen this very scene play out on the pages of her favorite manga growing up.
Next Iruka Sensei would call out Haruno Sakura and the girl would jump with he would call out Uzumaki Naruto and he would jump with joy.
It was the fate of those three children to be together. Akira would go to another team of new people she had probably never met. But that wasn't saying much as she slept through any free time and just generally lacked the conversational skills, and patience, to make friends with preteens.
"Suzuki Akira"
"Uzumaki Naruto"
It was the day after her 36 birthday and 12 anniversary of marrying the love of her life.
Nana Takahashi
She was a immigrant from Japan, just like Akira's parents one was from Mexico and one was from Japan. They had met in college and started dating in there last year and 4 years later they got married. Life was good she worked for a translating company and Nana and her were thinking about adopting a child.
After there celebration she had returned to work as normal and as she was walking home it happened
She turned her head to see a truck a few feet away and moving at full speed and a calm washed over her .
Oh is this the end? It was a good life at least.
Then she woke up in Konoha's hospital were a nurse and quickly came in to comfort her which she had found odd until she realized she looked like a 4 year old
The first few weeks was spent on pain meds and with the constant thought of this was some sort of pre-death dream she would wake up from eventually. Or maybe it it was the after life but she doubted that since this place wasn't very heavenly, the bed was stif, the room to sterile and the nurses so carful with her it felt patronizing.
The second her name left Iruka's mouth a hot wave of panic mixed with dizziness and flooded her Brain, her eyes shot to the original team seven in panic. Well hidden from the eyes of children though Iruka Sensei would probably see it if he spared a glance.
This wasn't right it had to be a mistake
"Iruka Sensei could you repeat the names of team seven please!"
Iruka Sensei I gave her a reprimanding gaze and said-
"Uchiha Sasuke"
"Suzuki Akira"
"Uzumaki Naruto"
"Be more attentive in the future"
She felt her hands shake
This was a unaccounted for change
And since when did she become the top Kunoichi in the class
Granted she had never actually bothered to check the score boards always assuming she would make average scores
And now here she was a facing a unknown for her stupidity
Kakashi analyzed the three files in front of him with a lazy eye
Unlike his last few Genin teams this team was special or at least to member of the team were special
Uchiha Sasuke the last loyal Uchiha and sole survivor of the Uchiha massacre, top Shinobi of his class, and a flight risk possessing the Sharingan. Kakashi was the only Jounin that could teach him how to wield them. His file described him as a genius with very few around his age group with the potential to beat him in the talent department, half teachers sung his praises as a genius and the other half described him as arrogant,vengeful,and saw to much of his younger self in the boy.
Uzumaki Naruto the son of his late Sensei the yondaime the Kyuubi Jinchuriki ,dead last of his class, and orphan. The boy looked so much like his father but with his mothers hot blooded was like looking at a young Obito with different coloring, if the similarity's to his Genin team continued he would actually start to get teachers described him as a loudmouth prankster, he was sure they were thinking a lot more they couldn't put on paper.
Suzuki Akira the top Kunoichi and the only person in their class to give Sasuke a run for his money, constantly switching ranks with him.a note in the corner of the file said they found her half dead on the out skirts of Konoha when she was 4. Top of her class with no competition in the civilian academy she had been adopted by a heavily decorated retired field medic. The teachers described her as lazy ,unsocial, and bit of a looked painfully similar to Rin, the 3 biggest differences were her bangs half pinned with a purple clip and half getting in her face, her sun kissed skin that distinctly made her look foreign, and the grimaced that looked like it was supposed to be a smile but couldn't quite make it.
An interesting team this was so similar to his yet so different.
Akira was spaced out until the last Jounin came to pick up there team. She looked over to Naruto and Sasuke, Her heart clenched when she looked at Naruto, a person she had watched grow up as she did he would always hold a special place in her heart wether he ever knew it or not.
This clearly wasn't the way she should start out her relationship with her knew teammates and she had always wanted to be Naruto friend but feared what she would change but that wasn't a problem anymore
When she got up she the sound of her chair felt Loud in the quiet room but the boys did not look over as expected. She chose the chair in the farthest corner for a reason, it was out of the way a clear sign to leave her alone and no where near any of the rookie 9s seats
Her steps were silent, something she had practiced for a long time.
She loved Konoha
She loved it more then her home world
She loved the miles of trees and the flower fields and the old buildings and people with stores of there youth you could always find if you looked hard enough, she loved there and there language and smells and warmth.
She loved Konoha within the first year of living here she vowed to protect her home, her warmth.
She loved the Konoha 12 , these people that didn't know her but she knew them had seen them at there lows, watched them die and grieved with there loved one.
The day she walked into class and saw there bickering and chatting she feel in love and vowed to protect them they were near children at the time, so small and breakable and she feared she would break them.
These people were warm and happy while she was cold and bitter,like almost everyone was in the motherland.
She had felt tainted
They didn't deserve to be cold and bitter
They deserved happiness and warmth.
She could only think to give it to them, a promise they would never know of. A promise that no one would die, even if she had to change places with them.
That day she found her nindo
Her dream
Her ninja way
