Celebrations:
It was only noon when team twelve finished their genin exam, which left plenty of time to celebrate and then rest up for tomorrow.
Naru wasn't too concerned about it, knowing they would only get to do D-rank missions for the first few weeks; however, she still wanted to do a good job. She also wanted to have a better mission record this time around.
The newly formed team twelve walked to the BBQ place in comfortable silence. The reason they were going to get BBQ instead of Ramen was that it was more private and easier for the team to chat and get to know one another.
Naru wanted to talk with Tenzo and learn more about him. She was interested to see if he was the same Tenzo from her past life. Also, she wanted to learn his strengths and weakness so she could plan battle strategies around that; this team might be temporary, but Naru was determined to make the most of it.
Oh yes! Team Twelve was going to be the best temporary team in Konoha history! Believe It!
The team of three made it to the BBQ place and were quickly seated. Once they placed their orders, Naru broke the ice and asked Tenzo some questions.
Naru smiled over at Tenzo, "So Tenzo kun tell us a little about yourself," she said.
Tenzo tilted his head, "What do you mean," he said.
"You know, your likes, dislikes, where you're from. Things like that," she said.
Tenzo blushed a little, "Well, I'm from Konoha, but I graduated from the academy early so that's why we missed each other while you were there," he said.
Naru nodded, signaling for him to continue.
"I really don't have any hobbies besides training and learning new jutsu," he said.
Naru was briefly surprised, and she could tell from the way he widened his eyes that Kakashi was too by that. "How the heck do you not have any hobbies," she wondered until something snapped to the front of her mind. "Oh, no! Don't tell me Danzo's got a hold of him," she thought, suddenly annoyed.
The old war hawk had been a pain in the ass back in the previous timeline; always meddling in affairs he didn't belong in. She had been so focused on keeping Obito and Madara she had forgotten about the eye stealing freak.
The old war hawk could ruin her plans if she didn't get rid of him; she couldn't do anything about him at the moment, but she was going to have to deal with him somehow because she refused to let that Son of a Bitch mess up the future again.
Plus, if Tenzo was working for him, she was going to have to watch what she said and did; no doubt he would report her and Kakashi's every move to him.
Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, well no need to worry about that today. This was a celebration.
Naru smiled at him, "I respect a shinobi who trains, however, not having any other hobbies isn't healthy Tenzo Kun. Kakashi and I will just have to find you some, won't we Kakashi," she said.
Kakashi jerked, surprised by her addressing him. Under his mask, he was blushing a little. "Oh, Yeah no problem," he said, rubbing the back of his head.
Naru giggled at his bashfulness finding it cute; she really was going to have to try a fluster him more often. Turning her attention back to Tenzo, she could see him blushing too. She smirked, Oh this was going to be fun.
From inside of his cage Kurama watched the scene unfolding, and couldn't help but laugh at his container flustering the boys. Her daddy was going to love that.
Kurama wanted to have a little fun of his own, "Oh Kit! Remember you're only five, not fifteen. Those little boys don't know how to handle you yet," he said.
Naru blushed, "Shut it, Kurama! You dirty kitsune," she said, her voice teasing.
The fox busted out laughing, Naru ignored him. She instead turned to her teammates and gave a cough to gain their attention.
Naru turned serious for a moment, "Alright team, I think while we're together we should discuss our strengths and weakness. We are a team now so we should know our fighting styles better so we can plan attack strategies," she said.
Tenzo and Kakashi nodded.
Naru seeing she had their attention continued, "Alright, I know we briefly touched on this at the training field but think we need a little more details. I'll go first. I'm a short-range fighter for now, but my plan is to switch between short-range or extensive range," she said.
The boys nodded, waiting for her to continue.
Naru continued, "The ninja fields I'm the strongest end so far are Ninjutsu, and Taijutsu," she said, deciding to tell Tenzo yet about her learning Fuinjutsu or Kenjutsu since she didn't want Danzo knowing.
A ninja should never trust anyone with everything anyway; that's how things came to bite you in the ass later.
Kakashi raised an eyebrow at her wondering why she hadn't mentioned that she was learning sword fighting or seals but didn't mention it; he was smart enough not to cross Naru.
Realizing it was his turn to share, he began, "I'm a short-range fighter like Naru; my specialties are Kenjutsu, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, but I can also act as a tracker if we need one," he said.
Tenzo seeing it was his turn blushed again, "Um, I'm a long-range fighter, my specialties are Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu," he said.
Naru nodded, "Alright, now that we know what our specialties are we should meet after training tomorrow and discuss strategies," she said.
The boys nodded, agreeing with her; at the same time, their food arrived.
"Alright! Now that's out of the way, let's celebrate!" she said.
"Hai!" the boys shouted, digging into their food.
