Ibiki woke up feeling good, even his little brother didn't ruin his mood by constantly whining like a brat. Sometimes he wished his brother was more professional and mature, but at the end of the day Idate was still his brother and he wouldn't change that fact.

So, of course his three prodigious apprentices had to ruin his good mood. They always did that. (He ignored the small part of him that argued that they made it up to him at the end of the day, and that he liked those brats) But this time it seemed like it wasn't entirely their fault. See, Ibiki had walked into his office right in the middle of a heated argument between the three brats and an older brat by the name of Anko.

He sighed and rubbed his temples already regretting waking up to come to work, someday he'll drop his job on another poor soul...but then he'll miss the stimulation his job provided too much. Besides he was only twenty, pretty young if he did say so himself.

"Your boobs are saggy ya old lady!"

"Why you brat! Take that back!"

"Hn, you also lack some brain cells if you think you'll be a successful ninja with purple hair"

"At least it isn't as eye-catching as Forehead over there's!"

"Hey, take that back you saggy tits old lady!"

"Hn, at least Sakura can be subtle and sneaky with her hair, yet you were discovered by three kids like us. That just shows the difference in skill"

"I wasn't even trying to be quiet! Besides it was you three who sneaked up on me!"

"Which shows the difference between us, dattebayo!"

Before Anko could reply Ibiki opened his mouth, "Be quiet!" effectively silencing the three, no four children up, "It's seven in the morning, and it's too early for your childish arguments. The four of you need to stop acting like such idiotic brats. Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, this ninja here, Anko, can take the three of you down with her hands tied behind her back and a piece of cloth wrapped around her eyes"

The three kids quietened down, although Ibiki could hear Sakura mutter that she wasn't even arguing with the woman. Ibiki turned towards a smug Anko with a disapproving look "And you. I expected a ninja of your caliber to be more mature, and yet you let three nobodies set the pace of your mental and emotional state for you. You let your emotions and impulsiveness rule your life too much, at this rate you'll never get your revenge"

Anko stiffened and averted her gaze, "Tch..."

However Ibiki could notice that Sasuke's interest was piqued. The Uchiha did seem to like the word 'revenge' a lot after all, though he tended to take revenge to a whole new level.

"Ibiki-sensei, get rid of saggy-boob old lady already-"

"I'm only seventeen you idiot blond!"

"-so we can train!"

Ibiki rubbed his temples again, ever since he took in those three he's been doing it a lot.

"Whatever, Ibiki-taichou what did you need me for?" Anko asked turning her attention to her superior

Ibiki couldn't help the sadistic smirk he gave the almost eighteen year old woman, "I wanted you to help these three with the fireball technique"

Anko's jaws dropped, "No way! I refuse to teach these brats anything, they need to be taught respect!"

"Seems like she's a hypocrite too" Sasuke couldn't help but snark

"Besides, aren't they too young to be...okay, fine, they're not too young compared to some select few. But isn't there anyone else who can teach them?" Anko crossed her arms

"They don't want any noteworthy clan members, these three want to keep a low-profile on their training. Aside from the two of us, only the Hokage knows of their training" Ibiki explained

"Fine!" Anko threw up her hands in surrender, "Don't blame me when they drop dead, I'm not teacher material!"

"Oh, they're more durable than they seem" Ibiki assured with a knowing smirk

"Che, meet me at the Forest of Death in an hour" Anko ordered the three before disappearing in a cloud of smoke

As soon as the woman was away the three adopted a very devious smile, it was actually unnerving. And Ibiki was sure he saw some flowers that didn't belong there in the background.

"Ne, Sakura-chan want to come up with a nickname for her?"

"Hn, you're the most creative one when it comes to subtly mocking nicknames that are borderline acceptable"

Sakura seemed to be having a contemplative look on her face, but Ibiki clapped his hands together to ear the three's attention, "I want you three to behave"

"Hai Ibiki-sensei!" they drawled out showing off their pearly white teeth

Ibiki knew they were lying, he fell for it the first two times, but he wouldn't fall for it after those first two times. Sakura raised her hand timidly earning a nod from Ibiki.

"Ibiki-sensei, what was that on the back of her neck?" Sakura asked tilting her head to the side curiously

"Classified information, if you really want to know ask Anko herself. Though she'll probably maim you just for bringing it up"

"We'll just ask Jii-chan" Naruto informed with a cheeky smile

Sakura then snapped her fingers together, her eyes wide with a glint of mischief "I have the perfect nickname!"

Naruto and Sasuke leaned in eagerly and Sakura whispered the nickname in their ears. Ibiki was amused, but he didn't seem to care much. Mentally however he was glad that he made the three kids sign a contract that states that he wasn't responsible in any form should they be injured or die. Apparently he was only responsible if the three hurt their allies or endangered the village. But he was sure the three wouldn't do that.

"We're here saggy-tits old lady!" Naruto happily grinned not seeming the least intimidated by the forest of death. In fact he seemed almost pleased at the whole idea of training in the forest

"Don't call me that" Anko warned throwing a kunai at Naruto

Naruto ducked to pick up a coupon for ramen, "Clumsy me~!" he chided himself

"Hn, we promise not to call you saggy-tits old lady anymore if you stop being so willing to attack"

"Deal"

"Well, time for introductions, right?" Sakura easily said as she gave a polite bow, "How do you do? My name is Sakura Haruno, this is Sasuke Uchiha and this is Naruto Uzumaki"

The three smiled at Anko, "It's very unpleasant to make your acquaintance Bitch-sensei"

With a vein popping at the side of her head Anko started weaving through some hand seals, "I'll show you three brats a presentation of a very destructive fire jutsu" she informed with a serene smile
