Team 7 is formed
Thanks to all the reviews and follows and favourites. I hope you'll continue to enjoy it.
Naruko woke up in her apartment. She dreamt about that day again, the last time she saw Itachi-nii and abandoned her dream to be Hokage. A voice inside her head spoke to her. You had that dream again didn't you?
Naruko mentally greeted her tenant the mighty Kyuubi sealed inside of her since she was a baby. Oh hey Kyuubi. Yeah I had that dream again.
After an incident at age 8 she was told about the Kyuubi and her heritage by her godfather Jiraiya against the Third Hokage's wishes though she swore to keep it a secret. With Jiraiya's aid she was able to communicate with the Kyuubi. After a rocky start the two formed a friendship with each other; Naruko would learn how to properly channel Kyuubi's power and in return Naruko would give Kyuubi a bit more freedom by allowing it to share Naruko's senses.
It was also then that Naruko requested to be put in ANBU herself seeing as she would never be accepted by the village. Though Jiraiya and the Third refused at first the other ANBU persuaded them otherwise saying that they could better protect her if she was a member and that many of them, Dog in particular, wanted to train her. Ever since then she was trained in the ANBU and had even accompained some of the other ANBU on their missions, albeit only the run-of-mill standard issue missions such as recon or patrolling.
She looked at the clock and saw that it was 5.30 in the morning. After stretching a bit to wake herself up she got dressed in an orange tanktop with black shorts and did her hourly morning exercises around the village. It was the usual routine consisting of doing some warmup stretches, running through the village as fast as she could while taking care not to be seen or detected by civilians and regular genin before doing some cooldown exercises back home. After taking a quick shower, got dressed in her ANBU gear and left with a shunsin to ANBU HQ to clock in.
Meanwhile in the Academy 3 genin patiently waited for their jonin sensei to appear. All the other teams as well as their long time instructor Iruka had all left thus Sasuke, Sakura and Kenta were left alone waiting for their jonin sensei to pick them up.
Sakura was busy reading a book about medical ninjutsu, Sasuke meditated and Kenta tapped his foot impatiently. Eventually Kenta couldn't take it anymore. "When is our sensei coming!? We've been waiting for 3 hours already", he shouted in frustration.
"Yes this tardiness is unbecoming of a jonin-sensei", said Sakura as she continued to read her book.
Sasuke remained silent as always. The massacre of his clan made a very distant and cold person, unwilling to bond with any of his peers. Thanks to the efforts of the Hokage and the therapy he undertook under Inoichi Yamanaka though Sasuke was able to recover somewhat from the massacre though he now had deep hatred for his brother. Although the Hokage told him what Itachi had truly done the fact that Itachi nearly turned him into a vegetable left a bitter taste in his mouth.
Sasuke was broken out of his thoughts when the door suddenly opened revealing a jonin with a spiky silver hair. The bottom part of his face was covered by a facemask while his left eye was covered by his forehead protector. Sasuke recognized him as Kakashi Hatake. He was friends with his late cousin Obito Uchiha before he died in mission. Itachi spoke highly of him in the past, though he did lament about his bad habits.
"Are you all Team 7?"
The three genin nodded as one.
"Alright my first impression of you all... you're all quite boring aren't you?" The genin stared at him annoyed.
Good grief, he's as annoying as Itachi said he was, thought Sasuke as he appraised Kakashi. Still the way he carries himself he's definitely a cut above the rest.
"Meet me at training ground 7", Kakashi said before disappearing in shunsin.
The three genin sighed and left the classroom making their way to the training ground. As they made their way there they were being discreetly watched by Kitsune … or rather one of her Shadow Clones. She had finished performing the chakra control exercises and was about to dispel when she noticed the three genin making their way to Training Ground 7.
Knowing about Kakashi's famed tardiness when it came to things he deemed 'unimportant' the Shadow Clone decided to see what genin her age could do. At Training Ground 7 Kakashi was leaning on a wooden post reading an orange book. The Kitsune Shadow Clone groaned silently at that, he was once again reading one of his beloved Icha Icha novels penned by her godfather Jiraiya. Kitsune loved the old sannin dearly, but his perviness irritated her to no end even if it was a good cover to use for a travelling old man and coping mechanism.
Plus the novels were his way of sending top-secret intel to the Hokage and ANBU. Kakashi being In ANBU himself previously was also privy to the code clearly written inside. Kitsune was no different having to read volume after volume of the smut disguised as intel for her code decryption training.
The three genin arrived and seeing the book Kakashi read almost made Sakura blew her top but she kept calm as she recited some of the tenets of the shinobi: Patience, discipline, perseverance. Seeing his genin arrived he closed his book and took out two bells from his pocket. The Kitsune Shadow Clone instantly recognized what he was doing and was interested to see what the genin would do.
"Alright you three, I'm going to hold a little test here to gauge your abilities. Your objective is to get these bells from me", Kakashi said as he dangled the bells in front of the genin. "Whoever does not have a single bell will be sent to the academy".
"But sensei", Kenta said. "There are only two bells."
"Precisely, which means one of you will inevitably go back to the academy", Kakashi said with an eye-smile as the genin grimaced. "Alright, there are no more questions, begin!"
At that the three genin separated and went into hiding. Kakashi took out his book once more and continued reading from where he left off. To the untrained eye he was simply enjoying his somewhat perverted book without a care in the world but Kitsune knew he was as alert as ever. She knew Kakashi would probably hold back seeing as these were genin but he wasn't going to make it easy for them either.
Eventually a lone genin came out of the bushes. It was Kenta. The bright orange jumpsuit he wore was a huge giveaway. "Alright Kakashi-sensei, just you wait I'm going to get that bell from you!"
Kakashi looked up from his book to see him, before turning back to his book and disregarding the young genin entirely. For good measure he turned a page and let out a small chuckle. Infuriated Kenta rushed him and engaged in a taijutsu fight.
Unfortunately all of his moves were easily read and dodged by an uninterested Kakashi who continued to read his book. However, this was all according to plan. Sakura observed the fight and just as Kakashi landed in the right spot she pulled the wire in her hand. Suddenly Kakashi was caught in a net as Kenta smirked victoriously.
"Looks like we got you huh Sensei?" he said as he approached the caught Kakashi. However Kakashi eye-smiled and before Kenta could react he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
A shadow clone! Immediately Kenta went into a defensive stance his kunai ready as he cautiously looked around trying to find Kakashi. Meanwhile Kitsune's Shadow Clone continued to observe the genin test. She had to admit they had a good plan that could've have worked but Kakashi wasn't the best jonin in Konoha for nothing. He probably figured out the plan from the very beginning.
Kenta continued looking around left, right behind and even above but there was still no sign of Kakashi. There was only one option left. Below!
But before he was quickly dragged below leaving him chest deep inside the ground. "Well, well. Nice try rookies but you'll have to do much better than that." Luckily Kenta was saved when a flurry of shuriken flew out towards Kakashi, who jumped back to evade. Sakura showed up soon after and helped Kenta out using chakra to boost her strength.
Meanwhile Sasuke engaged Kakashi in battle using his shuriken to keep him at a distance. Putting up some hand signs he then performed the Uchiha's clan signature jutsu. Kakashi's widen at that. Surely he wouldn't have enough chakra to pull that off, right?
"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!"said Sasuke as he launched a giant ball of fire from his mouth.
The size of the fire ball surprised Kakashi a bit as it showed how much raw chakra the young genin had though given the size he probably didn't have much control over it. Kakashi quickly used the substitution jutsu and replaced himself with a log a bit further away however he was soon assaulted by Kenta. Kakashi was on guard as Kenta began going through some hand seals. After Sasuke's surprising display earlier he had no idea what to expect.
And indeed Kenta's jutsu was nothing Kakashi had ever expected. In fact it was probably the worst jutsu he could've ever face. Kenta exploded in a puff of smoke and transformed into the cover girl of Kakashi's current Icha Icha novel Haruka. Everything about her was perfectly replicated from the front cover of the novel which meant that she was currently dressed in a pink summer bikini with a bright dazzling smile on her face.
Underneath her mask Kitsune was blushing bright red. That was certainly an unexpected jutsu. Though perverted it was very useful in distracting one's opponent and it certainly caught Kakashi off guard.
He was caught off guard even further when Haruka latched onto him. Just as he was about to shake her off and regain his composure, she looked at him straight in the eye.
"Ne, Kakashi-san can you help rub sun lotion all over me? My skin's super sensitive and your hands are simply the best."
Aside from his name being said instead of the main character's that was a perfect recreation of Haruka's line from the novel. The voice was just as he imagined Haruka would sound like in his fantasies. And even though it was just a henge, the body felt incredibly realistic. The feel of her boobs pressing on his chest was This jutsu was incredibly dangerous. Even the Hokage would fall prey to it. Kakashi had to do something and something fast or his genin would beat him. Just how did a newly graduated genin get his hands on a volume of Icha Icha?
What he didn't know was that one of the changes to the Academy was sex education, particularly in regards to using sex as a form of information gathering or even interrogation as well as using it for relief. Students were told to read passages of Icha Icha and reenacting scenes from it. As part of the ninja curriculum they were also instructed to lose their virginities with their partners or trusted sensei, though the civilian council viewed as controversial the ninja council knew the risks that came with their job and at least their first time would be with a school mate rather than some random target out in the field.
Kenta was the best student in the class taking things a step further with his use of the henge turning him into an exact copy of the Icha Icha novels. While he was berated for it Sakura saw the great potential in it and helped him refine it further. And thus the most perverted genin was born.
Speaking about Sakura, the sound of bells rang out. Kenta changed back to normal and regrouped with Sasuke and a smirking Sakura who had the bells in hand. Kakashi gave them an eye-smile. They were the first team to successfully get the bells from him but now was the true test. "Well done you three, but now who gets to stay and who has to go?"
The two bells were tossed back to Kakashi as Sasuke said, "You leave one of us, you leave all of us. We're Team 7 now."
Sakura and Kenta nodded in agreement as Kakashi smile underneath his mask. This might really work.
"Then it's official. From now on we are Team 7. Rest for today. Tomorrow we'll begin going through some missions. Dismissed." With that he left the training ground in a shunsin while the genin decided to congratulate themselves over lunch.
Having seen everything Kitsune's Shadow Clone soon dispelled itself as well.
Back in the Hokage tower at her hiding spot the real Kitsune received the memories of her clone and smiled behind her ANBU mask. It looks like Konoha's newest genin have the potential to be something great.
