Episode(s): None
"Alright brats! Let's go!" said Haruka as she walked into the classroom. 'I hope I do good at this whole Sensei thing.'
"Hello Haruka-nee!" said Michiru with a smile.
"Michiru, it's Haruka-Sensei now," said Ami to her friend.
"Haruka-Sensei," said Rei with a smile.
"Well, come on!" said Haruka as she led the three girls out of the room.
They walked until they were near the swing set. Haruka sat on the swing while the three Genin sat on the floor in front of her.
"Alright, we won't do introductions because we know each other, but I do want to know your dreams," said Haruka with a smile. 'Let's see what I'm working with.'
"I'll go first," said Rei.
"Alright, then Ami, and Michiru last," said Haruka.
"Kay," said the other two girls.
"My dream is that I want to be a good ninja. Not much to it. I want to be able to protect my friends and family. If I end up being better than I thought, then that would be great too," said Rei with a smile.
"Well, I'm not surprised," said Haruka with a sweat drop. 'It's like my own personal Shikamaru. The only difference is that she's willing to actually work.'
"Well, I want to be able to master the Ice Style Oba-chan can do. I've only just started but I'm working on it! I learned that we come from a clan that was killed off. She said that we might be the only people. Because of that, I want to be proficient in it and show people that we are still strong!" said Ami with a determined look.
"That's a good goal," said Haruka with a smile. 'Is she somehow related to Haku? Why the fuck didn't I ask about that sooner?'
"I want to find out the truth about what happened to the Uchiha clan. I also hope to one day restore the clan," said Michiru.
"And we will, together," said Haruka with a smile. 'I've trained her well. We will save Itachi!'
"What do we do now?" asked Rei with confusion.
"Well, tomorrow you guys will be meeting me tomorrow at field 9 and we are going to take a test!" said Haruka with a sadistic smile, scaring the other girls. 'What fun I will have!'
"Well, I'm going to go. I'll see you all tomorrow. Michiru, I won't be going home tonight. Later!" said Haruka as she disappeared. In reality, she was watching from a nearby tree.
"Well, we should go and prepare for anything," said Rei as she stood up and dusted herself off.
"Yeah!" said Ami with a smile.
"We can talk about it over food?" suggested Michiru.
"Yeah," said the other two girls with a smile. The three then walk off.
"Interesting students you have there," said a voice from next to Haruka as they watched the girls walk off.
"Yes, they are. And so are yours, if you bother to get to know them," she said with a smirk. 'I can't believe I'm talking to Kakashi!'
"Hmm. We'll see, won't we?" said Kakashi as they both jumped down from the trees. He then turned to look at her. "So where are you going to stay if you aren't going home?"
"Not sure. I might go see if I can stay with the Inuzuka's."
"Hmm. I have an extra room at my place. I'll let you stay if you tell me about my students," offered Kakashi, shocking Haruka.
"Like I said earlier, I can tell you about Sasuke and Usagi, but not much about Naruto," she said in shock and confusion. 'Normally I wouldn't agree to going home with a stranger, but this is Kakashi!'
"Is what the younger Uchiha said true? Do you think there is more to what happened to your clan?" asked Kakashi in seriousness.
"Yes," replied Haruka. 'I don't think. I know.'
"What do you think happened?" he asked.
"I can't say, but what I do know is it has something to do with the clan. They would have secret meetings I was never able to make since I had missions on those days. Not only that, do you honestly think that Itachi killed all of our clan by himself? Itachi was good, but not that good.
"Then if you add the fact that some of my clan members were missing their eyes. From what Shikaku-Sensei and I were able to see that some of the eyes were taken. The thing is, we know Itachi didn't do it since he wouldn't have had time. They were professionally done."
"Professionally taken," said Kakashi, in shock.
"Yeah. People do crazy things for power," said Haruka. 'If I can get another person on my side, not only will I be able to save Itachi, but he will also be able to protect Sasuke.'
"You think someone had him go after the clan, but why?" asked Kakashi, intrigued.
"My clan is powerful and dangerous; those aren't good things to be combined. From what Shikaku-Sensei told me was that after the Nine-Tailed Fox attack and the death of the Fourth, that council member Donzo seemed out to get the Uchiha clan."
"Hmm. That is a serious accusation, but to have a clan head such as Shikaku Nara back you up, says a lot."
"Can you do me a favor, watch over Sasuke for me," asked Haruka with hope in her eyes. Kakashi looked at her and his eyes softened. He put his left hand on her head and patted her.
"Of course, I won't lose another Uchiha," said Kakashi as he continued to pat her head. Haruka's face turned red.
"I am not a child! I'm probably not that much younger than you!" said Haruka in annoyance as she smacked his hand off of her head.
"How old are you? 17?" he asked.
"Yes!"
"26."
"Shut up, still not that much of an age difference," said Haruka as she looked off to the side.
"Let's go," said Kakashi after a few chuckles. He turned around and walked away.
"Where're we going?" asked Haruka in shock. 'Well, sorry kids for making your Sensei late.'
"My place. You cans stay there tonight and we can talk more about this later," said Kakashi as he looked back at her.
"O-okay," said Haruka as she followed her fellow Jonin.
~The Next Morning~
"Alright, brats! It's time for your test!" said Haruka as she stood in front of her students. 'Thanks to Kakashi, I was able to come up with a different test for them.'
"What are we doing?" asked Rei.
"Our test is simple; I just want to test your guys' fighting. I want the three of you to come at me with all that you got," said Haruka with a smile. 'It test teamwork, which I already know that they have, and lets me see where I need to train them more as a team as well as separately.'
"That's all?" asked Ami.
"Yeah," said Michiru, confused.
"Yup! So, get ready!" said Haruka, causing the three girls to get into position. "On your mark, get set, go!"
The three girls quickly jumped away from their Sensei. Michiru starts the signs for her fire ball jutsu.
"You guys are going to have to try harder than that," said Haruka as she did the same jutsu. When the two jutsus met, an explosion went off.
"Water Style: Liquid Bullet!" said Rei as she shot off her attack.
"Ice Style: Ice Shuriken," said Ami as she followed up her friend's attack.
'So, the girls know how to work together. Didn't think that it would be that fast since I know they haven't really worked together before,' thought Haruka as she moved from the attack.
The three then went after their Sensei and the four fought with only Taijutsu. To Haruka's surprise, the three girls worked well together even though they hadn't ever really fought together. The three had their set people they would train with, but it seemed that they know some of what the others were able to do and worked hard to try and balance each other out.
After some time of fighting, Haruka noticed that her three students seemed to have trouble accurately telling what the other was going to do. Because of this, they would sometimes hit each other. Michiru was used to not having to talk to Sasuke to let him know what she was going to do. She would usually just make movements and he would know. Rei was used to Shikamaru just knowing what she is going to do since they are both on the same wavelength. Ami was used to Usagi and Kiba yelling out what they were going to do. Even so, Haruka could tell that they were trying.
"Alright," said Haruka as she pushed the three girls to the floor. "I think that's good for now."
"Good, I'm tired," said Ami as she laid on the ground.
"Sleep," said Rei.
"Why are you so rough?" asked Michiru.
"I have to make sure you guys are ready for anything. You never know when a war may start," said Haruka with a sweat drop. 'I highly doubt I have the power to stop a war.'
"Did we pass the test?" asked Ami.
"Yes. Though you guys suck at fighting together, I think you guys will make a great team!" said Haruka with a smile.
"Yeah!" yelled Michiru and Ami. Rei threw a hand up and smiled.
"Now, why don't we get something to eat and you can all go home!" said Haruka. The three girls got up.
"Food!" said Rei in happiness, causing the others to laugh.
"Well, let's go. And just so you know, I'll be home later, Michiru."
"Okay. I'll let Sasuke know when he gets home."
The three then went out to eat, talking about what future mission would be and what they would work on to better their teamwork.
~That Night~
"So how did they do?" asked Haruka to Kakashi as they met near the school.
"They passed," was all he said.
"Good," said Haruka with a fond smile. 'At least somethings look like they will stay on track.'
"I'll watch out for him, all of them," said Kakashi to her.
"Thank you," said Haruka with a grateful smile.
"If anything happens, I have your back," he told her with a smile, or at least from what she could tell from his covered face.
"That's good to know," sighed Haruka. 'He must have been thinking about everything since last night. It's good to know I can count on him.'
"Well then, I'm off."
"Yeah, see you later!" said Haruka as the two went in different directions to their homes.
'I wonder how it's going to go on the mission to Wave. I guess I'll just have to wait and see,' thought Haruka as she jumped from roof to roof to get to her home. 'Well, plot, let's see how this shit goes!'
