Chapter Two: Meet the parents

Team 7- Kizashi and Mebuki Haruno, Minato Namizake and Kushina Uzumaki, Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha.

Kakashi had faced down a lot of scary things in his lifetime, but nothing could compare to an overprotective set of parents and the Haruno's were the definition of that. Sakura clearly got her temper from her mother while her pink hair surprisingly had come from her father who had dark pink hair styled in a spiked star and they both were currently staring the copy-nin down.

"So… You are Kakashi Hatake, our daughters sensei." Mebuki said simply, in a way that from his time spent with Sakura Kakashi knew this could go one of two ways. Either Mebuki would be calm and collected or she would flip her lid and shout loudly.

"Yes I am…" Kakashi decided to play it safe.

"We don't want to come off as overprotective parents or anything Kakashi." Kizashi said in a more relax tone that showed he didn't want any trouble. These two made an interesting pair, Kakashi mused.

"We just want to make sure our baby girl is safe hands." Kizashi finished his thought, clasping his hands together.

"We know all about your reputation and how skilled you are, but if ANYTHING happens to our little girl…" Mebuki trailed off ominously, a dangerous aura coming off of her like waves.

"I will do everything in my power, even if it costs me my life. I will make sure your daughter is safe." Kakashi swore to the set of parents standing in front of him, trying to keep his composure.

"Good. Glad we got that cleared up." Mebuki said cheerfully, her dangerous aura from before disappeared in an instant.

"Have a good day Kakashi!" Kizashi bowed to the other ninja before trailing after his wife as the blonde had already started to walk away.

Kakashi let out a breath of relief; parents were the scariest of all the enemies the copy-nin ever had to face.

Kakashi just started walking down the street when he suddenly got a chill, one that felt familiar to him. The only chill he got when Minato-Sensei was nearby and feeling overprotective. Of course Kakashi knew that Naruto was the son of his old sensei and his beautiful wife Kushina Uzumaki. He looked up, half expecting to see the ghost of the duo staring down at him. Instead he looked up and looked at the face of his sensei carved into the rock face above the village.

"I'll take care of him sensei, no need to haunt me." Kakashi whispered into the wind, that swirled around him like the presence of the duo were satisfied with his promise.

Kakashi kept walking; he passed by one of the rivers and spotted Sasuke sitting by the edge, looking off towards the horizon. Kakashi blinked his eye as he swore he saw two figures standing by his shoulders. Kakashi rubbed his eye but the figure remained there and he swore that Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha were standing watch over their youngest son. He also swore that the two turned their heads and stared right through his soul.

"Got it." Kakashi made an 'ok' motion with his hands and the two ghostly figures nodded and turned back to watch their son and Kakashi got out of there fast. He rubbed his head thinking that he needed a drink. No way anyone was going to believe him if he told them this! Best keep it to him self for the time being.

Team 8: Tsume Inuzuka, Hiashi Hyuga and Shibi Aburame

Kurenai looked calm on the outside, but on the inside she was nervous. She had every reason to be. Tsume Inuzuka on her own was a very intimating ninja but with the HUGE black and white partner Kuromaru sitting next to her at attention was very off putting. Also having the head of the Hyuga clan and the head of the Aburame clan sitting next to Tsume all three of them (four if you count Kuromaru) staring at her intently and searchingly.

"So, you're my son's new sensei." Tsume spoke up breaking the silence between the people in the group.

"Yes." Kurenai said firmly. "They all are amazing kids with tons of potential."

"Hmm…" Tsume inspected the woman in front of her. "I like you! Kiba will learn a lot from you! He needs strong female role models in his life."

'Like he doesn't already have two.' Kurenai thought to herself, keeping a smile on his lips.

'Thank you Tsume." Kurenai bowed her head and tried to keep the smile on her face as Tsume barked out a laugh.

"How is my daughter doing on a team of boys?" Hiashi asked worry hidden in his eyes.

"She is flourishing. At first she was shy and withdrawn but Shino and Kiba brought her out of her shell. She will be a fine ninja." Kurenai said looking at the head of the Hyuga clan.

"Good, good… I am glad…" Hiashi mumbled and Kurenai smiled at the head of the clan. He really did care for his daughter, even if he didn't show it too often.

"I'm guessing you want to know about Shino don't you Shibi?" Kurenai looked over and Shibi adjusted his glasses, having spent a ton of time with Shino the raven-haired woman knew that meant a few different things, but in this case it meant 'yes'.

"He is quiet, but having Hinta and Kiba on his team he is opening up. He is evolving like his beloved bugs." Kurenai smiled and Shibi nodded and his lips turned upwards in a smile that his huge jacket covered but Kurenai saw it.

"I know why you all are here." Kurenai spoke up.

"Do you now?" Tsume showed her fangs as she grinned.

"Yes I do. You want to make sure no harm will come to your children and I can promise you that I will do everything in my power to ensure nothing happens to them." Kurenai looked up at the three people in front of her with steel glinting in her crimson eyes.

"Good, I knew there was a reason I liked you!" Tsume grinned once again.

"Hm." Shibi and Hiashi nodded their heads and Kurenai just looked at them. She liked their kids better.

Team 10- Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka and Choza Akimichi.

Asuma Sarutobi was trying to appear calm as he smoked, but having the fathers of his team staring him down was not helping his nerves.

"So Asuma Sarutobi, son of our hokage and one of the twelve guardian ninja. You are the one who is going to be training our children." Shikaku rattled off information about Asuma calmly.

"Yes I am." Asuma said, taking a long drag on his cigarette.

"We care deeply for our children you know that right?" Choza said crossing his arms.

"Of course." Asuma wasn't sure where this was going.

"And if anyone hurts our babies, we will not be pleased." Inoichi went on, flexing his fingers.

"I would never let anyone hurt my students." Asuma swore seriously, putting out his cigarette and everything. "I would rather lay down my life then let any harm befall them."

"Good to know. You are a good man Asuma Sarutobi and I expect our children will learn great things from you." Shikaku nodded his head.

"Just know this… The justu our children know are nothing in comparison to the justu's we have mastered." Inoichi said, reminding Asuma that his clan was known for mind justu's, the Nara clan can kill with a shadow and the Akimichi clan can expand and easily crush people with their bodies.

"Understood." Asuma swallowed hard.

"Good, perhaps you should invite Shikamaru to play Shogi with you. I think he would like that." Shikaku suggested and Asuma nodded, having planned on asking the young genius to play against him anyway.

Team Gai- I don't think Lee has parents, TenTen has no backstory and Neji's father is dead… So I am going to have to skip this team for this chapter…. SORRY!
