I don't own Naruto

Kakashi…

Can you see me now? It's been awhile since I've been here…

"It's true, those who don't obey the rules and regulations are trash." He kneeled down and laid some flowers for his friend.

"The reason I came today was to tell you some great news." He looked at the sky now he had his goggles on. "Something's in my eye, Kakashi" a lone tear rolled halfway down his face before resting on the goggles. "I have been assigned a three man team today, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, And Uzumaki Naruto" he turned his back on the monument closing his eyes. "I'll teach them what you've taught me how important it is to be a shinobi"

Obito removed his goggles and put them down beside the flowers. "I've cried enough for now" He left the monument walking back to academy to meet his students. He planned his day to arrive early at the academy and get a good look at his students. He scaled the front wall not bothering to reveal himself through the use of a door. Getting inside was easy enough the ventilation system was just barely large enough for him to squeeze into. His hiding spot was above the door to the classroom, entire classrooms of gennin were assembled with one jounin to three of them leaning against the chalkboard. Asuma was in front looking bored as usual Obito was half a puff away from throwing a shuriken at his cigar when he put it out. What kind of trash smokes in front of children? He remained hidden despite his need to reprimand the bearded jounin. His team consisted of a bored looking pineapple shaped boy from the Nara clan who was followed appropriately by a Yamanaka, and of course a rather large Akimichi chowing down on a bag oh chips. He wouldn't even consider taking on a team like that, he considered the lazy Nara boy a good match for Asuma their personalities weren't too far of a stretch.

Up next was Kurenai who had chosen this occasion to wear her Jounin vest. He noticed she was rather anxious. He found out why soon enough, a Hyuuga was assigned to her. Not any regular branch house Hyuuga either, It was Hyuuga Hinata a Failure of a house member if anyone asked him. But no one ever did. Teamed with her was an Inuzuka easily identified by the dog sleeping on his head. And Finally, A shaded Aburamae child. They all wore jackets and were losers as far as he was concerned. Then it dawned on him. His team was all that was left, and he hadn't shown up yet. They'll think less of me If I'm late but I don't feel like crawling backwards either. The rest of the losers had gone and Iruka was next to the door. "Well I'm sure your teacher will get- eh?" Obito tapped on the shudder lightly making a sound only discernable to trained ears. Iruka looked up at the vent bewildered, "Yo Iruka I'm here!"

Iruka tippy toed and peeked in the vent his eyes lighting up in recognition. He was about to turn around and inform the remaining team when the sharp point of a kunai caught his attention. "Leave!" Iruka nodded and left without another word, Obito thanked him silently. He was just about to make his entrance when the blonde brat opened his mouth "Sakura-chan! Lets play a prank on this lazy bastard!" The blonde looked familiar and had a devilish grin written across his face. The kid was obviously a sympathy case and not very intelligent, What kind of idiot expected to drop an eraser on a jounin? He waited until the idiot was done with the "trap" before he made his move. "Naruto your such a fool!" The female member of the team was at least slightly more intelligent than the blonde. Then he noticed the last member of the team. Uchiha Sasuke the last remaining member of their clan. He would pay special attention to that kid, his eyes were focused and he discouraged the Blonde as well. He was definitely suitable for his team.

In one swift motion he escaped the ventilation shaft and had the blonde kid hanging upside down by his foot. "My first impression of you is I hate you" All three Gennin looked shocked. "Meet me on the roof" Without another word I disappeared leaving some ninja smoke. I wasn't alone on the roof for 5 minutes when they reached me. The Blonde sat down on a step without much excitement; his breath was controlled while his teammates were trying to catch their breath. The Uchiha covered his face with his hands the only show of emotion was when he started shaking when he squeezed his hands together. The pink girl was obviously staring at the Uchiha not sizing her teacher like the other two were.

Why had he jumped out of the vent? Was that some kind of jounin trick they all played on us? He hadn't seen him around the village before but he was definitely of the leaf. The Forehead protector on his head scratched rending the leaf symbol barely visible. He wore it so it covered his left eye. The other eye was visible as well as most of his face. The rest of his uniform was standard however he noticed his clothes didn't bear any marks or scratches of any kind. The only thing slightly obscure about the way he dressed was the small cylindrical object hanging on his back. It had a handle on the end of it so it might have been a weapon.

"We'll start off today getting to know each other, we'll be able to function more proficiently as a team after this." Obito slicked back his hair growing impatient with the silence. "I'll start, we'll share each others likes dislikes hobbies and goals" He took out a Kunai and spun it on his finger absentmindedly. "I have no intention of tell you my dreams, likes and dislikes" He paused for a moment his visible eye squinting at the sky "I have many hobbies" He stared at the gennins now their faces showed disappointment.

The Blonde kid stood up and pointed his finger at me. I was tempted to hang him on the tree when he caught my attention. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto! I like Cup ramen, Although I like the ramen that Iruka buys me a lot more, I dislike the three minutes I have to wait for my ramen to be ready, my hobby is to compare cup ramens, and my dream is to become the Hokage!" That kind of disrespect wouldn't fly for long. "Let me guess ms. Haruno the answer to everything is sasuke?" Sakura looked at me blankly not sure of how to counter that. Sasuke started talking in his lifeless voice "There are many things I hate and nothing I like, I have one ambition so I have no hobbies, I will rebuild my clan and kill a certain man." I stood up tired of the chitchat there's more to being a ninja than that "Meet me tomorrow at training area three, 5:00am oh yeah don't eat breakfeast you'll throw up if you do" I turned my back on them and left.

"The Nara boy seems like a perfect match for you Asuma-san" I was attending the new teachers meeting where we could discuss strategies for teaching, protecting the village, missing nin and other sorts of useful information. However today was focused on our new students. "It's going to be hard to motivate him, I asked him how it felt to be a Gennin and he kept saying, "It's so troublesome" over and over." Kurenai lost her vest a long time ago much to my delight. "Hyuuga-sama seems to hate anyone outside his clan and his daughter, she's too shy" the conversation carried on like this for awhile none of us were excited with the lot of gennin we had to teach, it seems the girls were too tied up trying to woo sasuke. The male gennin weren't terribly bright either but they didn't chase sasuke at least.

"I won't let you down this time Kakashi I promise" Tomorrow I would find out what these kids were worth.

AN: This Idea came to me in the wee hours of the morning "What would've happened if Obito made it back?" This chapter I was trying to set up the rest of where it's going. I'm Going to change things that happened in the manga to better suit Obito and his personality. Next chapter I'll have some action and then hopefully get started on the wave country mission. Things will be a lot different from the show. R&R !
