Team 28
Setsuko's eyes snapped open as the wind howled. She sat up in bed and stared ahead of her, trying to rationalize the eerie feeling that had settled upon her. She got out of bed and made her way towards her balcony. As she reached for the handle of the balcony doors lightening stuck, causing Setsuko to jump slightly. After shaking off her shock she reached once more. The doors rattled as he hand neared them. Setsuko forced herself to open the doors and step out onto the balcony. Setsuko felt the wind pick up as her feet touched the cold stone outside of her room. Her hair was thrown wildly about in the air. The cold numbed her as she pressed her hands upon the stone railing. Setsuko closed her eyes as the wind screamed at her. She squeezed her eyes shut in concentration as she tried to make out the whisper she heard.
" . . . . . do . . . . sha . . ." Setsuko tilted her head to the side alittle as she listened with closed eyes. She brushed some of her hair away from her face but it was a futile effort. Setsuko scrunched up her face as she tried to make sense of the whisper. ". . . . do . . . nsha . . . Uindo Bensha . . ." Her eyes snapped open as she quickly backed up into her room and slam the doors shut, locking them with fearful eyes. She pressed her hand against her heart in some useless manner to calm it. Setsuko shook her head as if it would remove the experience she had just under gone. She felt herself sink down to the ground as she stared outside with wide eyes.
". . . no . . . . Aka Yuki is gone . . . . leave me be . . ." She whispered quietly to no one.
--------------------
Setsuko scratched her head in confusion as she stared at her team. She was far away from them on top of a building. On her shoulders she carried the Shinigami wrapped up in cloth. She adjusted her forehead protector and black gi before hopping onto the next building. As she got closer to her team she slowed down and hopped onto the ground. Setsuko glanced to the sky. The dark thunder clouds had been there all morning along with the fierce wind. She looked away as if that would help her forget what had happened last night. Setsuko finally came to a stop in front of her team.
"What, no fancy entrance like other Jounin?" Came a reply from one of the Genin. Setsuko glanced at him. Scrawny looking dark haired kid with eyes of coal. He wore a loose pair of long jean shorts and a red vest over a white shirt. His forehead protector hung around his neck. He must have been no more than 17. She regarded him with a cold look as she looked over at the other two. They looked like siblings. The older of the two was an Asian teenager around 16. He wore a hooded dark orange sweater with a few foreign marks on the front of it and a pair of jeans. His forehead protector was on his upper arm. He had an indifferent look about him as he sat on a large rock. Last was a girl that might have been his sister. A high-cut T-shirt, short jeans,and a thin jacket with short sleeves and her forehead protector used as a headband. "Geez, we got stuck with another dud." Now, Setsuko might not have been a real jounin, but the fact that she knew one made it personal for her.
"Looks like I got stuck with another snot nosed baby." She glared at him. "I am Uzumaki Setsuko, your new sensei."
"What a minute, I heard that Uzumaki Setsuko was some weird looking old freakish hag." Once more that kid decided to be a smart ass. The other boy rolled his eyes while the girl commented.
"Great, Riki's at it again." The boy, Riki, glared at the two.
"You two are just jealous cuz my parents-" Setsuko cut him off with an edge in her voice.
"Can it! I don't wanna hear any more! I do not want to hear about any grudges." Setsuko decided that if she was going to get a headache, they would have to sweat and bleed first. She would have to play the mean sensei for now. "You are a team. My team. And as my team I except nothing less of perfection. Today, we will see how far from perfection you three are. From this moment on, perfection is what you eat, sleep and breath! We will change the way we talk, we will change the way we run, we will change the way we live!!!" Even looking like anyone else on the street she was a force to be reckoned with.
--------------------
Sasuke and Sakura were surprised at Naruto's appearance. They were down right shocked to see their teacher only arrive two hours late. At which pointed Kakashi wondered if they needed to get their hearts checked. The Jounin brushed off that thought after a moment and stared his students.
"Today, we'll work on teamwork. I figured that we should ambush team 28." Naruto blinked a few times before glaring at Kakashi.
"That's Setsuko-chan's team." Kakashi nodded. "Why are we going to ambush them?" Kakashi silently sweatdropped. For only knowing her for a short time, he got attached quickly. Big brother complex, thy name is Naruto.
"To work on teamwork and stealth."
--------------------
"What are you, captain military?" Riki snorted. Setsuko glared at him before she slowly smirked.
"Well, how about this, if you have a problem then you can fight me. Should I bleed then you do not need to follow my instructions. No weapons." Setsuko put the Shinigami on the ground as she walked into the clearing. Riki followed as the girl wandered over to the Shinigami. Setsuko turned around and faced Riki. "No use of any chakra. We fight with out fists. You never know when that will be all you have." Riki smirked.
"Just don't cry when I hit you." The girl tried to lift the Shinigami. As she failed her eyes snapped over to Riki and Setsuko.
"Janghoon-san!" The boy on the rock looked over at her.
"Was is it Seung-chan?"
"Riki cannot win, niisan! (Older brother) Uzumaki-san has incredible strength! That weapon must weigh over a ton as she can carry it as though it was a mere stick!"
--------------------
Naruto sat on a branch next to Kakashi as they stared at his cousin kicking the ass of one of her students. Sasuke squatted on the branch on another tree with Sakura standing next to him while stealing glances every few seconds.
"Kakashi-san," Kakashi looked over at Naruto as he mark a page in book and placed it in his pocket. "you're suppose to be smart and all so figure it out and don't hurt her. You'll have to deal with me then." Naruto leapt down from the branch without making a sound. Kakashi sighed and shook his head. 'Naruto . . . she would never put her heart out on the line because . . . she doesn't think I have any feelings for her . . .'
--------------------
Setsuko slowly placed her leg back onto the ground after drop kicking Riki. She turned to the other two.
"Now that that's over, we can-" She stopped and spun around to glare at the forest. "Kak-" Before she had a chance to finish she was plowed over by Naruto as he, Sasuke, and Sakura went after her team. She was about to speak when she was lifted up and put promptly back on her feet by Kakashi. He merely smiled at her glare before staring at the two teams battle. She shrugged after a moment. "Whatever to get 'em to listen to me." She mumbled.
"So how are things going?"
"So far I've been the mean sensei." Kakashi glanced at her.
"Are you sure that is good? They'll make it their life goal to get back at you."
"Their hatred for me will force them to come together and put aside their differences. It will make them a team. It appears that is the only way to get them to use teamwork." Kakashi shrugged and stole another glance at her.
"So, after this I'll take you to where the other Jounin usually send time at and introduce you to the other Jounin." Setsuko felt her eyes advert themselves.
"A-are you sure?" The Jounin nodded as he watched the two teams battle it out. ". . . I'd better separate them." She stepped forward and reached her hand up into the air. A silver orb appeared in her palm as she clamped her hand into a fist. "Monosugoi Bakudan!" She hurled the silver orb into the ground.
--------------------
Gai laughed at one of his own jokes as Kakashi dragged Setsuko into the small bar. Kurenai and Asuma looked up at the two.
"Kakashi, who's the lucky lady?" Asuma joked as Kurenai merely shook her head and jabbed him in the ribs. "What?"
"This is Uzumaki Setsuko, the new sensei for team 28."
"So you are the noble Jounin who has decided to teach the heart-broken team of 28? You are most honorable! To think that a gem such as you exists in a fair village!" Gai rambled as Setsuko turned to Kakashi with a blank look in her eyes.
". . . Who is this?"
"I am Kakashi's greatest rival! So far I have beaten him 96 times and he has beaten me 97 times! But we must do battle some time soon so that I can once more win!" Gai announced as Setsuko stared at him. Before Gai could speak or Kakashi retort, Kurenai stepped in.
"I'm Kurenai, the only one with a brain here." Setsuko smiled at her small joke. They men responded with a 'What?' or 'Hey!'. "I think Hinata told me about meeting Naruto's cousin."
"Hai. I met her for a short time. We did not get much time to talk."
"I didn't realize that you were a jounin." Before she could respond Asuma spoke.
"You could give her a second to breath now, can't ya?" Kurenai shot him a glare. Setsuko smiled at the other Jounin. It looked like things would work out nicely.
