Kakashi was bored. Really bored. Extremely bored. The kind of bored that might make him kill something-anything- just to get some entertainment. His Icha Icha Paradise novel sat in its safe pouch and he wanted to read it so bad but a certain Hokage insisted that he be here. And then the damn geezer has the damn balls to be late for his own meeting! Kami, if nothing happened soon...
"Good morning everyone."
Finally, the senile old ass showed up! Kakashi swore that he was late on purpose... wait a minute.
THAT ASSHOLE!
Oh he wanted to give the bastard a piece of his mind but the old fart called for the meeting to start.
"We are all here to discuss this year's genin teams. Iruka, do you have anything to say about this year's roster?" The Hokage asked with that damned lovable grandfather tone of voice.
"Yes sir. This year's roster are an extremely intelligent bunch and show great promise in their shinobi career. Especially these nine. These are the 'shooting stars' of this year," Iruka tossed nine files onto the table and spread them out. He flipped them open one at a time to show the content inside.
"The first one I want to draw your attention to is the Hyuuga heiress Hinata Hyuuga. She's a seemingly average girl for a member of a prestigious clan but she does have a large amount of chakra and power behind her attacks. What the girl needs is a confidence boost and a new fighting style that incorporates her clans' signature chakra point strikes. Choji Akimichi; the future heir to the Akimichi clan and their food chains as well. He also has low self-confidence thanks to plenty of the civilian children teasing him about his weight-and whatever you do, don't mention the weight! - But that same weight lends plenty of strength to his taijutsu and he also is deceptively fast. Sakura Haruno, a civilian turned ninja, she has a calculating and strategic mind that can run a thousand calculations at once and can predict a battle with all the variables. She also has the ability to mold her chakra into any part of her body. All she needs is a chance to prove herself and a field such as genjutsu or medical shinobi. Some weight on her bones wouldn't hurt either,"
"Ino Yamanaka, the heir of the Yamanaka clan and the future owner of the Yamanaka flower shop. She has incredible mastery of her clan techniques and has in depth knowledge of medicinal herbs. She needs a chance to get away from the Uchiha and also some weight. Kiba Inuzuka and his nin animal, Akamaru. They are a quick pair with both strength and ferocity behind their attacks. They also have some speed but little to no agility. The boy also has arrogance and alpha male issues. What he needs are two teammates that can handle him. One teammate that is a gentle soul and the other an analytical type to balance him out. And some yoga. Sasuke Uchiha is genius in every field. Fast, strong and talented. He however has teamwork issues and a superiority complex that makes him feel like he is above everyone, even help. Whoever gets him needs to start immediate teamwork and trust exercises with him and his team,"
"Shino Aburame is a shy, introverted shinobi but a practical one none the less. He has little imagination but makes up for it with his clans' powerful techniques that give him an edge. He is swift and light but his true shining is for the tracking arts. Shikamaru Nara is a highly intelligent boy but with little to no motivation what so ever. He is fast and nimble but has no strength to his punches. He however could outmaneuver you in a heartbeat. And finally the surprise of the year, Naruto Uzumaki. He is fast, light, small and agile as hell. He also has power to his punches and insane amounts of chakra, whether it's from Kyuubi or his family, I don't know but that boy is talented and he is hiding it. He also has the makings of a splendid trap master; how that boy can hide and be stealthy in neon orange, I'll never figure out but that also makes him the stealthiest of the nine. All in all, an impressive bunch," Iruka said, wrapping up his speech and letting the jounin mull over it.
Kakashi was impressed. This year's teams seemed powerful and the scion of the Uchiha clan was among them but something was bothering him...
"What are the teams going to be like?" He asked, knowing everyone was waiting for that question.
"That is a good question Kakashi. Iruka, what do you recommend in terms of teams?" The Hokage asked.
"I recommend that team...," Kakashi faded out for a bit here... "And Team Seven-lead by Kakashi Hatake- be composed of Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki-"
"Pardon me, but won't it be wiser to split Naruto and Sasuke up?" Asuma interrupted.
"No because they balance each other out power wise and Naruto could help Sasuke open up more, he has that affect on people. And Sakura will run interference, she does not tolerate bickering, no matter if her crush is the one arguing with Naruto," Iruka stated, offended that someone thought that they knew his former students better than he did.
"Ok, ok, continue," Kakashi soothed before Asuma could lose his balls and the attached tool. Iruka took a deep breath in and let it out, calming down.
"Team Seven will be the all-around team Kakashi; so focus on stealth training, power training and bukijutsu as well as any topic that catches their eye. They are a curious bunch; use that to your advantage. Also look into speed and stamina training. The only one of them that has even a lick of stamina is Naruto," Kakashi faded out here again, focusing on his new cute little genin.
Sakura Haruno, a fan girl and all around weak link that worshipped the very soil Sasuke walked on but she was smart; calculating everything and using it to her advantage. Also had incredible chakra control but little chakra. He would do chakra-and stamina- building exercises with her to build up her reserves. Sasuke Uchiha, the last of his clan and a prodigy in his own right. Talented and clever, not as intelligent as Sakura but bright enough to confuse the hell out of someone. And he also had the Sharigan as that leveled that playing field-somewhat- but had the same stamina issue as Sakura. He needed to focus on also knocking the need for revenge out of his head. Naruto was a different story all together. He had stamina, speed and chakra in spades but had little control over that chakra and then there was the Kyuubi. Kakashi knew the difference between the knife and the scroll but civilians didn't and Naruto might not either. So he had to keep an eye on that too. Kakashi needed to test them for their elemental affinity so he could craft unique jutsus just for them. He left the meeting, confident that he knew all about them but he was wrong.
Oh so wrong...
ANOTHER STORY!
