Prologue...

Tsunade's Body and heart ached something Fierce as he read the report in his hands. War was coming, and it was coming fast. Apparently the Raikage and Tsuchikage had decided that with the Defection of Sasuke Uchiha and Damage from the Invasion, it was the perfect time to strike. Already each Village had begun to prime their soldiers, striking out at Several of the Leaf's Further Outposts to send a Message. Already they had wiped out Spring Country, attacking with Generators with Explosive tags... the resulting Explosion destroyed any trace of the Once advanced Country or their Technology...It was a smart move, she had to admit, seeing as the Place was obsessively Loyal to the Village after Naruto saved them from their Corrupted Leader.

She had so hoped for Peace to reign, for her time as Hokage to be smooth and easy so she could pass the Mantle to Naruto one day... But it seemed that was not to be... She had to prepare for another war... before too many lost their lives...

" Shizune." Her apprentice looked at her with a mixture of Fear and Determination. " Summon the Council... and All available Jonin... We must prepare for war..."

Shizune nodded and shot off to complete her task...

As she did so, Tsunade grabbed a File from her Desk and stared at it sadly. She hated to do this, children should be able to enjoy their Lives... their youth as Might Guy would say... but she refused to allow them to suffer the same fate as her precious Brother...There was a great amount of Potential here, in this generation but none of them were prepared for war... she would have to change that...

Looking at the teams, she allowed the Strategist in her to take over. Immediately she began to jot down the flaws and skills of each person, as well as suggestions to improve their skills.

Team Kakashi - Direct Combat Squad...Kakashi to be removed and sent back to ANBU... Skills to valauble to ignore for more advanced missions...Start up training to step in as Hokage as needed...

Sakura- Low Conditioning, Stamina and Chakra Levels... Temper issues... Skilled in Chakra control, near perfect Memory, Apparent skill in Genjutsu, low to average level of skill for Genin Else where. ... possible immunity to Mind Jutsu... Put her with Might Guy for Taijutsu Training and Conditioning... Perhaps have her work at Hospital or with Kurenai for Genjutsu...

Naruto- Aggressive, Obsessive, Childish, lack of Killer instinct... Very little skill that may be due to poor teaching, investigate... Massive Chakra Levels, Shadow Clone Jutsu in Mass, Powerful healer and Stamina... Jinchuuriki... Deny Jiriaya's request for outside training... Test the boy and see what we can do with him...

Team Kurenai- Tracking Squad... Test Kurenai to ensure her skills are up to par in all areas... Have her teach Genjutsu Counters... Possible reassignment for her team..

Hinata - No confidence, shy, unsuited for Direct Combat... See if she has other skills,... powerful Chakra control... remarkable tracker and skilled in Taijutsu despite her Father's beliefs... Perhaps a Medical Ninja?

Kiba - Over confident, Lazy, challenges Authoirty...relies far too much on family Skills... Powerful body and Speed, even for an Inuzuka... Strong Leader needed, Perhaps his sister or Anko...

Shino - Reliant on his bugs, too apathetic... Skilled in taijutsu, Clan Jutsu and Strategy... Perhaps he should take up a Weapon.. Guy as a Teacher Possible but also Would work well with Anko...

Team Asuma - Capture and Interrogation... Failed entirely in that regard... Take apart team after I have them tested...

Ino- Fangirl, Rude, low Conditioning and more... Skilled in Family Jutsu, only knows two though... Skilled sensor and Strategiest when not obsessed with Sasuke... Anko for sure...Poisons wouldn't hurt, nor would other skills...

Shikamaru -Lazy, emotionally weak, limited Skill set... Set him with Guy to correct issues... or Anko... Or Shizune...

Choji -Needs conditioning... little confidence... lazy and obsessed with Food... Reliant on Shikamaru...Broaden skills...have him work with Might Guy or Put him as a Medic... he is a Pacifist...

Team Guy- Direct Combat/Immediate Response Team- Have Guy start teaching Conditioning in Mass for few months, then put him in charge of Front Lines...

Ten-Ten- A tad lazy at times, but determined and very skilled... Expanded Sealing abilities personally... Poisons, Genjutsu and other skills added in...

Neji - Arrogant yet highly skilled.. beat it out of him, then expand his skill set... at least some medical training...Put him in Anbu Maybe... or with Anko...

Rock Lee- Idiot, though very powerful... Learn Strategy while healing... have him work with Shino Perhaps?

All of them require testing to ensure skills are up to par, then send them to IT to see where they are in terms of being able to kill...

Putting her Pen Down, Tsunade sighed... she was going to keep her village safe... no matter who's innoncence would suffer for it... so matter how much that hurt...

Chapter End, this is an Idea I have had for a while. What if War came far sooner, how would it change the Leaf? Would it make them better, worse... would they change if the Akatsuki was not the man enemy... Alban55 your Amenaza Story inspired this concept, so thank you for that.

Also, would you all check out Three R's: Revenge, Rasengan, and Redemption by Naruto Uchiha 999? It is his first Story, One You many enjoy.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
