Episode 2: Introductions
"I'm am very surprised and happy to say that...Everyone in this class has passed." The 8th Hokage looked at all of the children in the class as he spoke.
The man was old, and had no hair, but his head ornament hid that. He also spoke in a slow drabble, just saying that sentence had taken him a good ten or fifteen seconds. All of the Academy students knew they were in for a long speech.
"This is one of the first times that this has happened in all of Konoha history." The old man continued. "You should all be very proud of yourselves. Blah blah blah."
Oyumi Sae's head fell down onto her desk as she felt sleep slowly coming to her. The Hokage was so boring it wasn't even funny. She lifted her head up quickly, as she didn't want to sleep through the team choosing process.
"Speaking of teams..." She thought, looking around the room. "Who do I want on mine?"
Her eyes came fell upon a certain blonde girl. Uzumaki Rei, blood relative of the sixth. Then her eyes went to the girl next to Rei, Uzumaki Riku. The two seemed to be having a staring contest.
"Those two always compete..." Sae thought, flipping her red-gold hair back. "I don't think I'd want them on my team. They don't seem like they'd be good to work with as a team."
Her eyes continued to scan the room, then stopped at the girl in front of her. Kazama Miharu.
"Nah, that girl broods way too much. She might go psycho when she's angry or something."
"Too weird..." She thought, her eyes shifting to Omamori Shinku. "She's even quieter than me...and that's pretty quiet."
Then her eyes shifted to two guys in the front of the room. They were whispering amongst themselves, probably bored from the Hokage's seemingly endless speech also. The one on the right, Gan, was of the Inuzuka clan. His hair was brown and messy looking, and he wore a large jacket. He also always had a small black puppy with him named Kuro.
The boy on the left was Yu Zukei. He was quite hard to overlook because of his hair, it being bright red and super spiky. He was wearing a red scarf with a dark blue shirt and sweatpants. On the back of the shirt was a bright orange star.
"Nope," She thought. "Those two are way too weird. Plus they hang out with those stuck up Uchihas."
Then she noticed the Uchihas weren't there. Usually they were among the first ones in the classroom. Not today though. That smelly kid wasn't there either.
"Wonder where they could be..." Sae wondered.
As if on cue, Anko, Renku, and Shikari all walked in, along with Seiya. They didn't say anything, just walked to their seats. They were quite lucky though, as the Hokage was just finishing his speech.
"And in saying this, I wish you all good luck in being Genins. Good day." Then as he was walking out, he noticed the four taking their seats.
"Oh, you missed my speech." He said, as if they cared. They'd rather commit seppuku with a dull knife. "I guess I'll have to go through it again."
Even their Chuunin teacher began banging his head on the desk.
"Team 4 will be...Anko, Shikari, and Renku Uchiha." The Chuunin teacher stated, pointing to the three as he said their names. "Your teacher will be here shortly."
Seiya banged his fist on his desk. He wasn't on Anko's team, and that made him very frustrated. He looked around the room, noticing that many other guys were the same. Seemed like Anko had caught the affections of many. It didn't matter though, eventually she'd come around and notice that he was boyfriend material.
"Team 5 is...Tenkawa Seiya, Inuzuka Gan, and Uzumaki Rei."
Seiya's head perked up as he heard his name. Great, he was on the team with a loudmouth and dog boy. Did he do something wrong to deserve this?
"Team 6 is...Omamori Shinku, Kazama Miharu, and Oyumi Sae."
Zukei looked around furiously. He got to be with the brooding angry girl and the weirdo. He wasn't too thrilled that he wasn't with his friends either. They'd always dreamed of being on a team together, and being the best ninjas ever. So much for that.
"Team 7 is...Uzumaki Riku, Hyuuga Shizumi, and Yu Zukei."
"Perfect, as long as I'm not on the same team as my cousin." Riku thought, leaning back in her seat. "I want to keep all of my techniques secret so I can surprise her with them in our fight to be Hokage. That'll show her for stealing my dream."
The Chuunin instructor called out the rest of the teams, and their instructors slowly arrived. Everyone said their goodbyes and went to bond with their new teachers. The instructor smiled, wiping a tear from his eye. He had always hated this part. For seven years, he'd taught them all here. And now they were gone, off to become ninjas and someday surpass him. It was beautiful.
"My name is Uzumaki Rei. I am descended from Uzumaki Naruto, and destined to be Hokage! I like ramen, and I don't like my cousin Riku!"
A girl with blond pigtails (think Naruto's sexy no jutsu) sat back down in the front desk at the academy. After arriving late, their jounin- sensei, Kabi, decided just to stay there to get acquainted with his students. He was dressed in black ninja garments, with a black cape, and he had what looked like a giant stick slung across his back.
"Okay...And you?" Kabi asked, pointing to Gan.
"My name is Inuzuka Gan." He said, pointing to himself. "I am going to be the best ninja there ever was, not that I'm already not, and I'm going to impress Anko! And I hate cats."
"And I'm Tenkawa Seiya, master of taijutsu." Seiya said, hopping out of his seat. "Anko's gonna be mine, and it's going to be me who's the best ninja in the world. Sorry to burst your bubble Gan."
Gan just stared at Seiya, and his puppy growled. You could almost see the lighting going from both of their eyes. Kabi had to do something before a fist fight broke out.
"My name is Kabi. My last name is none of your business. I like popcorn, and I hate boastful people." Seiya and Gan stiffened at that comment. "I've already achieved my goal in life, which was to become a jounin and teach. You three are actually my first team."
And then there was silence. Rei just stared at her desk, and noticed that they needed cleaning. Gan and Seiya were back to glaring at each other, and Kabi just stood there.
"Nothing else to say?" he asked. "Alright then, I'll meet you three tomorrow at ten behind the academy on the field. There we will do some fun things."
None of the three children liked the way he said "fun".
"Oh, and by the way," Kabi said, halfway out of the classroom. "One of you smells really bad."
Seiya's eyes just darted around the room at this comment.
"So you wanna impress your parents?" A woman with long blue hair and a blue tanktop asked, pointing to Shizumi. She also wore black shorts that only went down to her mid thighs.
"You want to be Hokage and beat up your cousin," the woman asked, pointing to Riku, "And you want to be stronger so you can recover a family heirloom from your father? Interesting bunch.
"I'm Tenkichi Marina, and I like to get things over with, such as this. Anyways, maybe I'll tell you my likes and stuff like that later, like tomorrow. Meet me here, eight o'clock sharp. K?"
They were standing in a clearing in the forest, and it was surrounded by trees. There was a small river running through it, and the grass was quite high. It was an ideal hiding spot.
"Anyways, catch you guys later!"
She was gone so fast, that no one knew what to say. Was she hyperactive, or maybe she just drank to much caffeine. Either way, she was weird.
Standing at the foot of the Hokage mountain, this is where Team 6 met. Their Jounin-sensei was weird looking. He was dark-skinned, and had a huge afro. He also wore shades and had a purple vest and purple bellbottoms on. That was topped off with shoes that must've made him about six inches taller. He was quite a weirdo.
"My name is not important, but you can call me Fever-Sensei. I like to dance, and I don't like people who don't like to express themselves. How about you three?"
No one spoke.
"Lemme guess, you three don't like to express yourselves huh?" The odd man asked, tapping his foot. "Ah, fate is cruel isn't it? I've got something for you then, tomorrow. Just meet here at dawn, ok?"
The three nodded, and everyone parted. Fever-sensei just smiled to himself as he thought about the evil plan he had.
The Uchiha triplets were on the roof of the academy, and were still in awe at their instructor. He was only a little taller than them Shikari, who was tallest, and he didn't look a day over sixteen. He wore a black T- shirt, with black sweatpants. He also had a black headband on. His hair, on the other hand, was white and went down to his mid-back.
"So, who wants to introduce themselves first?" Their sensei asked, looking around. Shikari was first to speak.
"I'm Uchiha Shikari," she said, blushing a bit. "I like yo-"She stopped mid-sentence. "Never mind"
Anko was disgusted. Her sister was smitten with their teacher. He had to at least be in his late twenties! He was so old!
"I'm Uchiha Anko," Anko stated, "And this is my brother Renku. I hate most of the guys at our school because they chase after me, and I like to train. My goals are none of your business."
"Don't mind her coldness." Renku piped in. "Anyways, I like to train also, and I also like to hang out with my friends. You?"
"I'm Shizari Ken. I like to sleep, and I hate bright colors. Just two years ago, at the age of fourteen, I became a Jounin. I hope you guys can top that. As my first team, I hope you will."
Shikari looked down. He was only sixteen, and she was almost thirteen. She blushed, then she felt Anko's gaze on her. She was going to get yelled at by Anko when they got home. She didn't get it though, Anko was always so stiff. Sure, she was stiff too, but sometimes she'd lighten up. Anko never did.
"Uh, guys, we can go now." Renku said, scared that he was interrupting one of their "glare off"s. He wasn't. "He said to meet here at noon tomorrow."
The three of them jumped off the building and began their walk home. Today had been just like any other day in Konoha, just add in a new friend.
A/N: Okay, done! Next chapter, fun stuff happens!
