Wow, I'm surprised that people actually liked this. To be honest, I intended for it to be a one shot, but since I've gotten mostly positive reviews, I'll try to continue for a while and see where it goes. From now on, it will probably be about Bolt and Himawari growing up and stuff like that, but I promise not to make it too boring.
Before anyone knew it, Bolt's generation was graduating from the academy. To say that it snuck up on them would be an understatement, time had been flying by in the peaceful era they lived in.
Bolt graduated and he tied with none other than Sarada Uchiha for Rookie of the Year. The grief his father had given over tying with his "crush" was similar to the grief he had given his father previously with painting the Hokage Monument during the Five Kage Summit.
His mother had given him a knowing look, and he couldn't figure out what she had meant by it.
Regardless, today, they were announcing the genin teams they would be put into. Bolt already knew who would be on his team, but he had no clue who his new sensei would be.
Bolt filed into the classroom and took a seat next to his best friend, Shikadai.
"Shikadai, aren't you excited to finally be a ninja? I am! I'm gonna be better than my dad, and then in no time I'll be the Hokage just like him!" Bolt rambled on.
"Tch, quit being troublesome Bolt. I thought you hated the Hokages anyway." Shikadai grumbled.
"No way! My dad is the best, even if he is really busy all of the time with work. But it's like he says, a ninja endures…even paperwork I suppose." Bolt said.
"Hmm…and I'll wager that you want me to be your advisor like my dad is to yours?" Shikadai guessed with slight grin on his face.
"Of course!" Bolt said.
"History really does repeat itself…" Shikadai mused, and with that, Shino entered the classroom to take a final look at his graduating class.
"Okay genin, listen up, because it will be the last time I address you as your sensei. Today, you will be put into 3 man cells with a jonin sensei. I will now announce the teams. Team 7 will be Bolt Uzumaki, Tekken Lee, and…Sarada Uchiha. Team 8 will be Shikadai Nara, Chocho Akimichi, and Inojin Yamanaka. Your jonin sensei will be Konohamaru Sarutobi." Shino stated.
"Shino-sensei, you forgot to tell us who our jonin sensei would be." Sarada calmly said.
"Ah yes, about that, the Hokage has not yet picked a jonin for you because he hasn't decided on who would be best for the job." Shino answered.
Bolt was deep in thought. Just like he predicted, he'd be on a team with Rock Lee Jr. and Sarada. And the Ino-Shika-Cho squad was a given. But who would his sensei be? He'd have to question his father later.
Konohamaru then walked into the room and took his team, leaving the new Team 7 all alone.
"YOSH! I can already tell that our team will be most youthful with the Hokage's son and the newest Uchiha at my side!" Tekken all but shouted.
Bolt had to sweatdrop at his exaggerated enthusiasm. But he was already thinking that he'd make a new friend while improving his taijutsu as a bonus. Sarada on the other hand, was a genius with genjutsu. Being an Uchiha and also inheriting her mother's natural talent for it made her a genjutsu prodigy, much like her late uncle Itachi.
"Alright team, since we don't have a sensei yet I'm gonna go find out who it is. Meet me tomorrow at our training ground?" Bolt asked, and his teammates nodded.
He then sprinted out the window and made his way towards his father's office.
Alright, so this chapter was a bit shorter than I had hoped for, but it's mostly experimental. Let me know what you guys think and if I should continue it! Review please!
