Chapter Four: Team 4

The kunoichi really didn't care about Sasuke. She had seen the appeal, but also that he was really an asshole. She only pretended she did because all the other girls except the Hyuuga and the Akimichi were spazing over him and unlike them, she wanted to fit in. She had long black-blue-gray hair and wore a light blue dress in the same style as Sakura and a number of the other girls.

The first boy had a longer fringe in his short black hair that often fell down to cover his right eye. He wore a light gray jacket.

The second boy had brown hair gelled straight up in back and looked terribly in-the-wrong-decade and flammable. He wore huge black goggles and a dark green long-sleeves shirt with a light green neck scarf.

She was second to Sasuke in every practical subject and second to Sakura on the written. He was a genjutsu specialist. He was a combiner of wind and water.

Their jounin sensei hadn't known the field she had chosen was being used by members of the Torture and Interrogation squad for routine training. The team was recruited on the spot. The three were practically dragged into Ibiki's office to make the appointments official.

Within a week they knew more secrets than anyone else of their generation. They even knew everything that had happened the night the Fourth Hokage died from a Leaf ninja turned missing-nin who by the time they finished was falling over himself to tell them every piece of vaguely secret information he had ever known.

The first boy said Team Four was lucky. The girl attributed it to the sheer awesomeness of the Fourth Hokage. The other boy pointed out just what had happened to the Fourth and what they did to missing-nins, but in a way that meant he agreed with both of them.
