Sarutobi knocked on her door bright and early, just as she had suspected he would. She opened the door and stepped back to let him in. "Sorry for dropping in like this."
"It's okay, I was expecting you anyways." She said tiredly as she stiffled a yawn behind her hand and walked into the kitchen to pour them both some of the coffee that she had just finished making as he sat down at her kitchen table.
"Did you have a rough night last night?"
"Not really. It was actually more peaceful than expected." Uzu said as she poured herself a cup then another one for Sarutobi, she walked over to the table and handed his cup to him. He gave her a sheepish look and took a drink then sighed, well there was no point in putting things off any longer, she already knew something was up or she would'nt have been waiting for him.
"I made a miscaculation yesterday when I stripped your students of their jounin ranking." Sarutobi said nervously as Uzu stared at him.
"..."
"As a result there are'nt any jounin avalible to teach-"
"I'm aware, and I already have a lesson plan for them. Send them to training ground twelve. I'll be waiting for them there, but this is only a short time thing until you can find them someone who can teach them full time, when their other teacher can't teach then I'll sub."
"You may have some problems with some of them."
"If your talking about Neji, Lee, Shikamaru, Kiba, Sakura, Ino and Sauske...then I guess I'll have to have their parents there to make sure that they listen."
"That's evil, Uzu." Sarutobi said with a grin, Uzu shrugged. It didn't really matter to her. Either way you looked at it the kids were still kids and would listen to what their parents said.
"Yeah...just make sure that they are there."
"Consider it done." Sarutobi said as several tiny little furry things came running down the hall and launched themselves at Uzu's couch. She made an amused sound before one of her babies ripped one of her cusions apart with it's claws.
She slammed her cup down on the table and jumped to her feet, and raised her voice in a threatening manner. "Oi brats!"
(************************************************************************************************************************************************************)
Uzu stood against the same tree trunk that she had been leaning against yesterday staring at her senior students as several of her clones set traps in the woods and several others fetched the parents of her latest additions to team hell. Dear god she was going to have one hell of a head ache after this lesson, she was sure of it.
Sure enough, Sarutobi appeared at ten thirty with all of the genin in tow.
"Here they are. Go easy on them, okay." Sarutobi said as he patted her on the shoulder with his hand and then stepped back to see how she would go about this lesson.
"Yeah sure. Alright kids, I know we all went to class together but-"
"What the hell are we doing here with this loser?" a bleach blond girl, Ino asked, her pale blue eyes narrowing at Uzu. Uzu glanced off to her left at the girl's father and snaped her fingers drawing the mans attention to her and pointed to the empty space next to her. Inoichi sighed and walked forward and stopped next to her.
"Inoichi, she's your daughter and while I know that your not at fault for her inexcusable lack of respect I'm going to use you to teach your stupid girl to learn to keep her mouth shut. Give me your hand, and I suggest that you don't bite down of you could lose your tongue."
Inoichi did as he was told and lifted his hand so that she could grip it as she looked at Ino. "Ino your lack of respect will cost your father one brocken finger. If you speak without permission again, I'll break another and another."
Ino's expression darkened, "You would'nt dare hurt my father you bitch! And what is my daddy doing here anyways?" Uzu siged and pulled something out of her weapons pouch and stuffed it, a rag of some sort into Inoichi's mouth and then gripped his hand and pulled two of his fingers back at once. The was a loud snap followed by Inoichi's tall body jerking as he clenched his jaw around the rag in his mouth and squeezed his eyes shut.
Ino screamed in horror and started to run forward to attack Uzu but was stopped cold by a new arrival's justu. The kids all looked to the left as Hiashi Htuga, Tsume Inuzuka and her daughter Hana walked out of the woods after Shikaku Nara, Shiba and Choja. Ino looked at Shikaku and growled. "Why are you stopping me? She hurt my father!"
"But if I let you go your father and mother may end up burying you, Ino-chan. Besides, she's already healing his fingers. He should be able to use them again in a few minutes."
Ino blinked and looked at her father and noticed that his finger were in fact healing. She glared at the blond standing next to her father. Uzu claped her hands and smiled at the group.
"Thanks for dropping everything to be here on such short notice."
"Not a problem. Besides you have something you need our help with right." Hiashi said as he walked over to Uzu and patted her on the head before looking at his daughter, and nephew.
"The two of you pay close attention to what Uzu-sensei has to say, a lesson from her could save your life."
The kids all looked at each other then back at Uzu. Did Hiashi just refer to the loser as sensei?
"Dad, seriously what's going on?"
"I believe that I should clear things up. It was a mistake on my part not to tell you kids anything about your jounin teacher-" Sarutobi said as he stepped forward.
Everyone looked at him. "Uzu-chan has been promoted to the rank of jounin as of yesterday due to an incident. These people here to your right are her genin students as of yesterday-" Every one's jaw dropped.
"And today all of you are being welcomed to the ranks as her students as well. I trust that each of you will do as instructed and learn what you can until I can find a more stable teacher for each of your teams. That is all. Uzu, tell us all what your students will be doing today."
"Right. I'm going to be pairing each genin team with one of the adults. Those of you left over will form a team. Today's lesson is a simple track and capture routine. All of you will track and try to catch me. Those of you who are caught in traps will not be able to free your selves easily and will have to be very careful. In the woods behind me I have laid an active mine field, wire webs that will snare you like insects, and other things. Each trap is nothing life threatening, so you don't have to fear for your lives. Just be careful."
"After our first lesson, I will teach you a form of martial arts that is unknown to each of you with Hiashi's help." Hiashi perked up instantly and smiled.
"Alright. Pair up people, and make it fast because the more time you waste the longer I have to lead you into my traps." Uzu said as she vanished into the woods before anyone could say anything.
