Naruto: Children of the Ninja

By Hikari Dohjutsu

A/N: I decided to go for a shorter chapter since I don't want to clump the story together, so this is a semi-short chapter but I will update a lot sooner since the next two chapter's will be about this size.

Italics are thoughts.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but I do own the o.c's and Tenri of the sand, and I guess I do own the plot of this story.

Team 6 waits nervously by the door; no sensei has shown up yet. Suddenly the door is thrown open by a tall man with bushy eyebrows wearing a green spandex suit.

"Hello my most glorious students," The man flashes the class a super-bright smile, "I am Lee-sensei!"

Sakurako starts twitching. Oh great, dad's a sensei. This is going to be so embarrassing.

Nobu chuckled. He felt bad for the team who had that guy for a sensei.

"Is there a Team 6 in here? My little flower of youth, Sakurako, is on it!"

Nobu's mouth drops open in horror, Ichie starts twitching. Sakurako sinks down into her seat. This was a nightmare; no this was worse then a nightmare. Dad is a sensei.

Ichie finally finds her voice. "Over here Lee-sensei," Ichie raises her hand.

"Ichie, what are you doing!" Nobu whispers hurriedly. Lee turns around.

"Ahh hello my team, let us hurry while you are still in the springtime of your life!" and with that Lee drags the three genin outside.

Neji and Tenten enter together. Neji spots his team and walks off toward the most silent group.

"Team 15?" Neji asks coolly. Hotaka nods looking highly relieved. "I am Neji-sensei." Haruka's normally impassive face takes on a slightly fearful expression. Neji-san was going to run her ragged!

Tenten spots her team, gives one more glance toward her husband and walks off to her group.

Kei is the first one to notice the woman walking towards them and silences the other two boys.

"Hey, are you guys Team 9?" Tenten asks knowing fully well that they were.

"Yes," Sasuke answers.

"Are you our sensei Aunt Ten?" Haku asks.

Tenten rolls her eyes. "Yes Haku, but from now on you shall call me Tenten-sensei."

Haku nods good-naturedly, "Okay Aunt Ten," (A/N I know Tenten is technically not his aunt but she is related to him so I have him call her Aunt). Tenten sighs. "Alright let's go."

Lee takes his team to their assigned training ground and sits them all down. It's an efficient training ground, plain, nothing special. It was a rather large clearing in the forest. Boulders are scattered here and there, a wooden pole sticking out in the middle like a sore thumb.

"Now students," Lee starts off, "Before we start on my youthful teachings I would like to know your likes, dislikes, and dreams for the future, I shall introduce myself first." He gives them one of his nice guy poses, his teeth shining brightly.

"My name is Rock Lee, I like training, hard work, my family, and all that is youthful!" he shouts making his students wince. "I dislike overconfidence, laziness, and all that is not youthful!" "My dreams for the future are to grow into a finer ninja, to continue in the pursuit of youthfulness, and to protect those who are precious to me!"

"Now you try!" he shouts and points to Nobu.

Nobu looks up startled, but continues to eat his chips and now speak.

"My name is Nobu Akimichi, I like food, I dislike it when I am not eating, and my dream is to prove that even though you enjoy eating that doesn't mean you can't be strong!" Nobu finishes with fire in his eyes.

Lee gets fire in his eyes and starts doing push-ups to the astonishment of his students. "That is an excellent dream Nobu, you will surely accomplish it!" Lee declares doing push-ups vigorously. "It has inspired me to train, I, Rock Lee, will help you to accomplish your dream!" Lee shouts.

Nobu looks oddly at his sensei and then move back a foot.

"Now you!" he points to Ichie, while doing one-handed push-ups.

Ichie nods. "I'm Ichie Nara, my likes are clouds and flowers," she gazes up at the sky for a minute. "My dislikes are when my dad, and older brother are over protective," she thinks and then glares, "And Tenri of the Sand."

Lee perks up, just having finished one thousand push ups. "I know him; he shall become quite the splendid ninja!" Lee declares.

"Who's Tenri of the Sand?" Nobu asks confused.

Ichie huffs. "He's this genin from Sungakure, and you know Temari-san right?"

Nobu nods.

"Well he's the son of Temari-san, now don't get me wrong Temari-san is awesome and really nice, but he's the biggest jerk to ever walk the planet!"

Recognition dawns on Sakurako's face and she turns towards Ichie grinning mischievously. "You mean that hot sand guy, whose always saving your butt?" Sakurako asks smirking.

Ichie's face turns bright red, from anger or embarrassment they were unsure.

"HE IS NOT HOT AND HE IS NOT ALWAYS SAVING MY BUTT!" Ichie yells she's angry.

"Yeah he does," Sakurako retorts, "Remember that time with those crazy monkey things?"

Ichie glares at her best friend. "That only happened once," she muttered embarrassed.

"Now what are your dreams?" Lee asks, hurriedly changing the subject before Ichie can stab anyone.

Ichie's expression changes instantly." To be a world class spy like my mom!" Ichie answers immediately.

"Yes Ino was an excellent spy," Lee nods.

Ichie's eyes shine. "I'm going to be the greatest spy Konoha has ever seen!" she declares.

Lee jumps up. "That's it; get inspired with the power of youth!"

The students look up at Lee oddly.

"Now you Saki," he says oblivious to his students odd glances.

"My name is Sakurako Lee, my likes are hanging out with my friends, my dislikes are people who try and hurt the people close to me and hospitals," she shudders, "And my dream is to start a family," she blushes.

Lee sits cross-legged and nods. "Yosh! It is an absolute delight to have you as my genin team!" He then glances at each of his students. "Unfortunately," he starts nervously, "There is one minor detail I forgot to mention." He takes a dramatic pause. "Of the 24 graduates, only nine will become genin."

"WHAT!" all three genin yell.

"Are you kidding me?" Nobu yells. It had taken him ages to master the replication technique. (A/N: It's harder for someone his size)

"So you mean all those exams we did were for nothing?" Ichie asks angrily.

"No, no," Lee says hastily, "The final exams were to test student who might become genin," he emphasized the word might.

Ichie mutters under her breath angrily. Saki glares at her father. Nobu eats his chips furiously.

"Tomorrow you will be given my final test, the real final test, you should all come with your weapons pouch," Lee then looks at them firmly. "I want you all to come on your own, do not come with a friend or else you immediately fail." He gives his student a piercing glare. "Dismissed!"

A/N: Well that was the end of the first part next is Neji's team and after that Tenten's team. I will update a lot faster since the chapters are shorter. Oh and Haku's team is like the main team, so i'll probably have more stuff about his team but I will write about Neji and Lee's teams.

Thank you to all my wonderful reviewers!
