A/N: Ummm… I think I'll postpone the fight scenes until next chapter. It seems that I just got lost in the road of life. So what I'll do with this chapter is the acquaintance portion for the new Team 7, Kakashi, Ino, Naruto and Hizachi. Sasuke is not in the team because he's still at the hospital. For the pervertress part, there's no such thing. I just made up the word so that there will be an addition to Naruto's weird names. Ehem… now on with the story! Weeh!

In Team Seven's training area, Ino was sitting on one of the branches of a tall tree. Naruto was hanging upside down from the tree using his chakra. Hizachi was sleeping right under the tree and Kakashi, as usual, was nowhere to be seen.
"He said he'll meet us here at 8 in the morning." Naruto jumped down from the tree.
"Is he always like that?" Ino rested her head on her hands.
"Yeah, but it's unusual for him to be late by half a day"
Then, a poof of smoke appeared next to Ino. The female Jounin in the smoke set foot on the branch, but the weight was too much for it to bear. The branch broke and both nins fell. Ino fell and was caught by an extremely late Kakashi that just arrived. The female Jounin fell as well and landed on top of the sleeping Hizachi, waking him up in the process. Naruto got the worst, having the heavy branch land on him.
"Are you alright, Ino?" Kakashi asked with the same bored expression.
"Yeah, thanks for catching me, Kakashi-sensei." Ino got off Kakashi's arms.
Under the tree, Hizachi was slowly waking up when he felt a pair something round and soft on his face. He opened his eyes and saw Anko on top of him, unconscious, with his face buried in her chest.
"Whoa." It was all Hizachi said before he turned red. From afar, he could hear Kakashi murmur something behind his mask.
"Lucky pervert." Kakashi grinned underneath his mask.
"What did you say?" Hizachi's voice came muffled. Finally regaining her consciousness, Anko stared at the face buried in her chest.
"Uhh… who are you?" she said, showing no reaction to the current situation.
"I'm Ninmei Hizachi, appointed as Chuunin by Godaime." He said while fighting to stop the blushing.
"So you're the Hizachi that Shizune was talking about. She said you nearly got yourselves killed by Master Jiraiya because you delivered the 'Thousand Years of Pain' to him."
"Well, it's quite a long story…" Hizachi continued to blush, which didn't go unnoticed by Anko.
"Is there something wrong, Hizachi-kun?" Anko finally caught up with the reason behind the blush.
"Well, there's one thing… as much as I'm enjoying it, could you get your breasts out of my face?" Hizachi sweat-dropped while a few drops of blood started coming out of his nose.
"Why? Don't you like it this way?" Anko said seductively, accompanied by a wink. Hizachi's face turned from red to crimson.
"Well… n-not e-exactly… b-but I don't think it's a good thing to do in front of two Gennins." Hizachi pointed his fingers at Naruto and Ino, who were red-faced themselves.
"WHAT?" Anko leapt off Hizachi and landed on the branch on top of Naruto. Although he was extremely tough for a ninja, Naruto started complaining once Anko got on the log.
"Hey! Anko-sensei! Get off! You're too heavy!" Naruto yelled.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm fat?" Anko yelled back.
"That's exactly what I meant, you pervertress!"
"What did you call me?" she raised her fist and fire burned in her eyes.
"Whoa…She's mad." Kakashi said.
"You said it." Ino replied, with jaws hanging open.
Anko put down her fist and closed her eyes. She sighed and started to do a few handseals. Having almost finished with the hand seals, she let out a mischievous smile, but Hizachi's hand grabbed hers before she got to the last hand seal.
"What are you doing? I was just going to do a little Genjutsu." Anko pouted.
"Judging by the smile that appeared on your face earlier, I'd say that it was a dirty thought." Hizachi smirked. Kakashi, on the other hand, decided to lift the log off Naruto.
"Geez… I guess I was right, she is a Jounin Pervertress." Naruto got up and dusted himself.
"What did you say, you little brat?" Anko's eyes flared up again, but Kakashi calmed her down.
"Stop that, Anko. It would be quite shameful if everybody hears that you fought a Gennin. Tsk tsk tsk…" Kakashi shook his head.
"Anyway…" Naruto turned his face to Kakashi, "Kakashi-sensei! You're late!" he screamed, pointing his finger at the copy-nin.
"Oh, that? Sorry. There was this dog that had a heart attack. I had to bring it to the vet. After the vet helped the dog, he collapsed and died, so I had to bury him."
"You and your lame excuses!" Naruto yelled again, but Kakashi ignored it and moved on with the conversation.
"Alright, listen up. I need the three of you to do something. Naruto, you go to the hospital and accompany Sasuke, he may die of boredom."
"Why can't it be me?" Ino pointed to herself.
"Stop complaining. Ino, you have the most important duty for today." Kakashi got some seriousness into his face.
"What is it?" Ino asked nervously, seeing Kakashi's serious face.
"You clean up my apartment!" Kakashi let out a big grin underneath his mask.
"WHAT? Why do I have to clean up YOUR apartment?" Ino protested, nerves appeared on her head.
"First, I'm your sensei so you should obey me. Second is that you're a girl. I'm pretty sure you're good with chores." Kakashi pulled a book from his pocket and started reading. Ino could do nothing more but sigh as she started to walk to Kakashi's apartment, wherever it was. Kakashi shifted his gaze to Hizachi who was currently relieved thinking that he won't be doing any chores. Kakashi read what his facial expressions meant and burst Hizachi's bubble.
"Sorry to disappoint you Hizachi, but you have a chore as well." He smiled.
"What? Noooooo!" Hizachi fell on his knees. 'If only you knew who I really am… then… then… hahahahaha!(evil laugh)'
"Relax… it's better than Ino's."
"Since when did running an errand become better?" his eyes narrowed.
"Since today. You're going shopping."
"Shopping? If it's for one of your books, I think I'd rather become a missing-nin!"
"No, it's not for one of my books. The book I have here is the latest, so I don't need to buy unless the new release comes."
"Then why do I have to go shopping?" his eyes got narrower.
"Actually…" Kakashi slightly scratched his cheek with his index finger, "…Shizune asked if I could get two people to help her. I thought of getting Jounins at first, but only Anko agreed. I also tried the Gennins, but all of them were unavailable for today. The Chuunins are out on missions and others are at the academy. That leaves you as the only available Chuunin."
"But…!"
"No buts, Hizachi. You may be a Chuunin, but the Hokage left you under my supervision, so you do as I say. Understood?"
"Yeah, sure, whatever." Hizachi sighed 'If only we were 500 years into the future… I'm pretty sure that I'll send you back to the Academy… no matter what your rank is! Hahaha!'
"Good. Well, I'm off!" Kakashi waved goodbye before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
