Chapter 4: Meeting the Team

"You don't have to push me, I'm going. This is so troublesome." Shikamaru said as Ino pushed him toward the school and to the classroom.

"Look if I didn't drag your sorry bottom out of bed you would have laid there all day. Now hurry up. See your students are already in the room, now go. Shoo. I'll see you later today." Ino said as her serious face turned more playful and winked at him. Shikamaru sweat dropped as he raised his eyebrow then turned to open the door. When he knew Ino was out of hearing he let out a sigh of relief.

"Man, she is scarier them my mother when it comes to waking people up." Shikamaru said remembering what had happened in his house.

Flashback

There was a nock on the Nara family house.

"Ohayo, I came to make sure Shikamaru was ready to meet his group of Genin." Ino said.

"I'm sorry but Shikamaru is still sleeping. What time was he suppose to be there?" Shikamaru's mother asked ready to yell at Shikamaru for waking up so late.

"In exactly ten more minutes."

"Huh? Don't worry I'll go and wake him up." His mother was about to walk up those stairs and yell for him to wake up from there but Ino spoke up before she left the doorway.

"Don't worry I'll wake him up." Ino said smiling wickedly before heading up the stairs, and into his room. All that Shikamaru could remember was waking up to loud shouts in his right ear and thinking about getting it checked to make sure he was not going to go deaf.

End of Flashback

"Ohayo Shikamaru-sensei." Nami said seeing her teaching enter the room. Shikamaru's hand were in his pocket and he moved to stand in the front of the room.

"I guess I should get this over with." Shikamaru said and looked at his team.

"You're our Jonin instructor?" Kazuki asked lazily before laying his head down onto the desk. Tashi was sitting there surprisingly not eating, also no food near him.

"It doesn't matter as long we can get something to eat soon. I didn't finish breakfast." Tashi said moaning. Spoke to soon about the no food.

"Yup. I guess I should introduce my self some more. My full name is Shikamaru Nara." Shikamaru said and motioned for them to start doing the same. It was what all the Genin and Jonin instructors were suppose to do even if they had know each other.

"My full name is Nami Tatsumei. I enjoy drawing as well a sketching." Nami said and nudged Kazuki and Tashi to do the same.

"Kazuki Minawa" Kazuki said not even bothering to say anymore which earned him a push from Nami.

"My name is Tashi Zeitsuo. Can we go get some food now?" Tashi said and Nami just let out a sigh in defeat.

"Sure why not. Let's go then we'll start some training." Shikamaru said and the four of them went to a restaurant to get some breakfast.

Hinata and her Squad

Hinata was waiting in the front of the room already. Naruto had walked her to the school entrance as a thank you for the ointment he was going to need for a day of harsh training.

Flashback

Hinata had gotten up early and left the Hyuuga mansion to take a small walk around Konoha before heading toward the school when she saw Naruto with his bag about to leave for some training like he would usually do.

"Hinata? What are you doing walking through here? Aren't you supposed to be heading toward the school to meet your Genin squad?" Naruto asked see her going in the wrong direction.

"Ah Naruto, I was just taking a walk before going." Hinata explained.

"Oh I see. I'm just going out to train." Naruto said as he pointed to the backpack on his back with his thumb. Hinata took out a blue container from her pocket and handed it to Naruto. "What is this?"

"It's, um its ointment if you get hurt training." Hinata said nervously about giving Naruto something.

"Thanks Hinata. Here I'll walk with you until you get to the school. It's the least I could do." Naruto said grateful for the ointment and both of them headed toward the school.

End of Flashback

Tomoyo was the first to enter the room; she whispered a "Good morning" before taking a seat as Zeno and Kai with Aoikatsu entered just a few seconds after.

"Ohayo sensei." Kai said as Aoikatsu barked a greeting too. He was riding on Kai's shoulder and jumped to sit on the table.

"I'd like to properly introduce myself as a Jonin instructor. My name is Hinata Hyuuga. From the Hyuuga family I have inherited the Byakugan that allows me to see chakra in people and for other things. Now you can introduce yourself. You can tell me your likes and dislikes or any other information you'd like. I'm a very good listener." Hinata said as Kai moved to talk first.

"My name is Kai Okamiga and this is Aoikatsu. He has always been near me ever since I started this school. Don't call him weak though or he might bit your hand off." Kai said with lots of energy.

"My name is Tomoyo Izurie. I like being near people I know so I feel more comfortable." Tomoyo said quietly. She was shy but she didn't stutter.

"Zeno Kisari. I dislike loudmouths who don't follow the way of the ninja." Zeno said which got him a glare from Kai.

"Alright how about we go spend some time with each other before we start training?" Hinata suggested as her group left the classroom to do some team bonding.

Sasuke and his Squad

"He's late." Ryusuke said sitting in a seat as Rei sat on the table.

"All of the other squads have probably met their sensei and doing something awesome like special training." Matsuri said moving all over the classroom impatiently.

"It's been already ten minutes longer then it should have been." Rei said swinging her legs back and forth against the desk side. Sasuke was leaning behind the wall only a few centimeters left of the door. He had his arms crossed and eyes closed to listen to the commotion of his students. He knew he was suppose enter already but he liked hearing how his batch of Genin were complaining about his absence.

He also knew that he should listen to what Sakura told him about being too hard with his students but Sasuke wanted to see how alert they were to him standing not even a foot away from the entrance. Not very from what he could see, Ryusuke should have at least sensed that he was so close. Or even open the door to see if anyone was coming.

Flashback

"Sasuke do you remember our Genin days?" Sakura asked him as they were walking toward the school. Sasuke had promised at the party to meet her at her house so they could walk together.

"Yeah."

Sakura smiled remembering how Kakashi came in late and getting hit by the eraser on the door because of that. "You're not going to go too hard on them are you?"

Sasuke just shrugged his shoulders, he really didn't know what to expect from his Genin squad but if it were like how Team 7 was then they would probably act like complete idiots. Sasuke would just have to see how they would prove in his test.

"Do you remember when Naruto placed the eraser on the door and it got Kakashi? Those were so good times." Sakura said trying to leave out what happened with Orochimaru.

"He was a complete idiot back them." Sasuke said then smirked. "He still is."

"Yeah. Well there is the school. I'd going to go to the flower shop and help Ino. Bye Sasuke-kun." Sakura said waving while Sasuke just raised his hand as a good bye and continued walking to the school.

End of Flashback

Sasuke decided it was time to go in so he opened the door but stepped back as a bucket of water fell from the top of the door.

"Heh my first impression of this squad is that you're a group of idiots." Sasuke said before walking to the front of the room.

'Cha told you Matsuri that it wouldn't work.' Rei thought.

'This is a Jonin; he could never fall for a dumb trick like that.' Ryusuke thought as Matsuri got into a seat.

"You're late. We were hear so much earlier then you and all of the other teams have left." Matsuri said angered that his prank wouldn't work.

"Well first things first. Introduction, your likes, dislikes and goals. I guess I'll go first. My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I don't like many things and I hate a lot of things. I don't have much of a goal at the moment. Your turn."

'That was a waste, the only thing Sasuke-sensei told us was his full name and we knew it already.' Rei thought.

"My name is Matsuri Yamato and I like playing joke. I dislike it when the people I play it on don't fall for it and my goal is to be the strongest ninja in Konoha." Matsuri said loudly.

"My name is Rei Hizuko. I like…" Rei's glaze turned to Ryusuke and blushed. "My goal is um…" Her eyes stayed on Ryusuke. "AND I HATE MATSURI."

Matsuri mouth opened wide at what Rei had said. 'Hate me.' Then his eyes started to water at that. Sasuke looked at his group and thinking this was what Kakashi must have felt about them back then.

"Well let's go." Sasuke said before exiting the room followed by his students.

Neji and his Squad

Neji was waiting in the classroom as his students came in together. He and Tenten had had a quick spar in the morning before the sun rose, then he walked to the school and Tenten went to pick up something. She said the she wanted to watch how he was going to train with his Genin team and he nodded an approval.

"Ohayo Neji-sensei." Kaoru said as the three of them took a seat. Tai sat next to Kaoru who sat next to Saneshi.

"Are you going to be our instructor Neji-sensei?" Tai asked. It was sort of obvious that he was but Neji nodded a yes anyway.

"First thing we have to do is introduce ourselves. Tell me about your goals." Neji said.

"Oh ME, ME, ME!" Tai said getting up. "I want to prove that hard training is not the only thing that can make a good ninja but having good friends and the will to protect them is what really counts."

Neji looked at him. 'Heh he reminds me of the way Lee had answered that questions.' "Alright next."

"My goal is in perfect my chakra string control and be able to be one of the strongest kunoichi in Konoha."

"Good." Neji said before looking at Saneshi.

"I'd rather not say me goal now." Saneshi said not wanting to tell his team about the Nekogan just yet. He was close to activating it fully, but still not yet.

"With the introductions done let's leave to go train." Neji said before he and his group left to go to the training spot that Tenten and Neji sparred in that morning.

A/N: I know this chapter didn't have a lot of Neji/Tenten but the next chapter will. I'm not so sure about keeping the Kiba/Hinata parts though since she seems to be going more with Naruto at the moment.
