New Team
Kakashi looked at the three young children in front of him. He was leaning back on the metal railing circling the roof of the Academy. The three genin hopefuls were either looking at him in wonder or looking around curiously - Kakashi remembered that they weren't allowed on the roof usually at school.
He sighed when all three of them turned their gazes onto him, one startling blue pair looking at him in innocent curiosity, one endless black glaring at him for no reason he could think of one pair of light green looking at him in a mixture of anger and curiosity.
"Alright, Team. I'm your new sensei, Kakashi Hatake." He introduced. "I want you all to introduce yourselves to each other." He told them.
"Why don't you introduce yourself first, Sensei?" Green-eyes asked, her eyes lighting up at the though of the gossip she could spread about the famous Kakashi Hatake.
"Hmm. . . Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt. As you know, my name is Kakashi Hatake. I am a Jounin for the Village Hidden in the Leaves. I like to. . . No, you're to young for that. I like. . . No, can't tell you that. I dislike a lot of things. My dream. . . don't have one, really."
When Green-eyes groaned, Kakashi grinned behind his mask. What he had told them was basically what everyone knew about him.
"Ok, you first." He pointed at Green-eyes.
"My name is Sakura Haruno." She puffed her underdeveloped chest out proudly, sneaking a glance at the black-eyed boy from the corner of her eyes. "I like to arrange flowers, my friends and . . . " She trailed off, looking at Black-eyes again and blushing. "I don't really like sweet things, or annoying people." She glared at the blue-eyed boy looking at her curiously. Kakashi snorted slightly, knowing that the pink haired girl was one of the annoying people he knew.
"My dream is . . ." She trailed off again, glancing once more at Black-eyes and blushing even harder.
Knowing he wouldn't get anything more out of her, Kakashi looked over at Black-eyes as an indication to start.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I like tomatoes, I suppose I like my family, and my friends. I like to train, and work on my techniques. I don't like fangirls." He stopped momentarily to glare at Sakura. "Or sweets, but I do like chocolate. My dream for the future is to be the best I can be."
Kakashi nodded at the young Uchiha, glad that at least one of his students would be reasonably easy to teach.
Smiling slightly, Kakashi looked over at the last member of Team 7.
"I'm Naruto Namikaze. I like my family, my friends, reading and sweets. I particularly like boiled sweets. I also like listening to music. I don't like loud noises or bright lights, or people who judge others before getting to know them. I want to make my mark on the Hidden countries, and then retire and watch everyone else do all the work." Naruto finished his introduction with a sniffle and a cough.
Kakashi smiled at his youngest student. The blond boy was sitting on the stone step directly in front of him, his nose red and sore and his voice scratchy. He was bundled up in a large, warm jacket that once belonged to Kakashi, the only reason Minato had let his son out of the house that morning. He had a mild case of the flu, complete with bad throat, a cold and a fever.
However, Naruto may have been allowed to come to the team meeting, but Kakashi was told that he was to postpone the Survival test until Naruto was better.
Kakashi shook himself out of his thoughts to tell his students about the survival test.
"In a few days time, Team, we will be having a surviving test." He told them.
"In a few days time? And what do you mean, Survival test!? We did loads of those in the Academy!" Sakura screeched.
"Yes, I suppose you did. But this is my survival test. all Jounin instructors have to give one. It determines whether or not the Genin pass or not. If you don't, you're sent back to the Academy."
The three genin's stared at him in shock. The silence was broken by a loud sniffle from Naruto, followed by a chuckle from Kakashi. Sasuke was still looking at him in slight shock, and Sakura was glaring at him.
"Alright. I'll send a note the day we will meet. I hope you'll be ready for when that happens. Dismissed."
Kakashi watched amusedly as none of the genins moved. They all sat there, staring at him silently, before Sasuke got up slowly and walked towards the door leading to the stairs that took them down into the Academy building. Sakura stared after her crush as he descended the stairs, before jumping up and running after him.
Kakashi watched them until they were out of sight, before looking at the youngest member of his team.
"Alright Naru, ready to go home?" He asked, not really giving the blond a choice as he moved to pick the small boy up.
Un needed though it was, Naruto nodded into Kakashi's neck, where he had buried his head the moment he was comfortably situated in the Jounin's arms.
Smiling down at the boy who was practically his little brother, Kakashi jumped off the roof and onto the street below, thinking about his new team.
Right, Hello. Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
This is completely and utterly AU. I'm considering making a proper story based around these oneshots. I know the characters are differnt and I'm messing up the timeline, but I figured that if Minato survived, lots of things would have been different.
Review!
