Thanks you everyone who reviewed and enjoys reading my fic! For those who need answers to the... 'Tetsuya' guy, you'll find out in this chapter (despite he's another OC I created...). And, for those who have been waiting to see more of the Konoha ninjas... you got your wish! And also... for those who had... caught on to some... 'mary-sue' thing... I'm sorry if you find this fic mary-sue... I certainly am not a writer who thought about things like that when I plan out my story, I just write it out according to my idea. The problem of being mary-sue surely and definitely was not included in, I apologize to these people. For those who don't mind the 'few' problems in my story and actually liked reading it, thanks a lot! Well... enough of my nonsense, now back to the story...
A thousand thanks to Raiin who helped in the editing of this chapter!

Technique 6: The Forgotten
Shocked, surprised and confused. Those were only some of the emotions piling up in the few wizards' minds as they were probably the only ones who had not yet fled to the safety of the castle. Harry, Ron and Hermione were amongst the 'few' not wanting to just abandon their friends and run for their lives. And also, they want to see through to the end, now real ninjas fight. The other one was Malfoy; he wanted to see just how 'great' the ninjas were being, and hopefully, prove that they weren't that great after all. The only problem with the left over students are that... they were standing in an open space, with absolutely nowhere, or rather made no move to take cover should there be anyone jumping at them.
With the new appearance of another four shadows, which seemed to be of a different level than the rest, the Jounins readied themselves for the fight. With the other ninjas still spread around the pitch and nearing students, Kakashi turned back and shout to the Jounin in green, "Gai! Take care of the students!" the other turned to face him, flashing him his toothy grin while his teeth sparkled at the edge and his 'nice guy' pose, sending a series of sweats down the copy ninja's head as his eyes narrowed and stare momentarily at the Taijutsu master's direction before he focus his attention back at the oncoming few ninjas.
The team of three Jounins stood clear from where Kakashi was, Naruto right in the front, Neji and Shiyuki some distance away by both sides. Gai sped towards a few of the ninjas that were about to attack the left over group of wizard students, putting much force in his jump as he neared them, kicking the assailants some miles away with as much swiftness as you could have expected from a Taijutsu master. The left over students... that were actually just Harry, Ron, Hermione and Malfoy... stared at the rescuer in total shock. Clearly, they had never seen any real physical combat. Gai quickly scanned around the pitch and seeing that no other students were left before he hurriedly led the four to a nearby pillar of the pitch, gesturing for them to stay hidden.
The leading figure of the four showed to be Kabuto himself; former 'would be' medical ninja of Konoha. The white haired ninja stepped forwards, leaning sideways as he raised a hand to his glasses, pushing them upwards, his eyes staring at them seemingly was filled with... amusement? His glass reflected the glare of the light as he turned to face them, mouth curled into a smirk.
"My, my..." he started. "To think that the fifth Hokage had acted so fast..." he dropped his hands to his waist, "Right? Naruto-kun?" he could see Naruto snarled at him, the white haired ninja then let his eyes wander.
"Ah... Neji-kun, Shiyuki-san, you're here too" he said mockingly, receiving death glares from the two mentioned Jounin. "Kakashi-san... too... what is the world coming to?" he grinned, as the copy ninja gave him a sarcastic look. However he did not see Gai as he was hiding with Harry and the other wizards.
"Why the hell are you here?" Naruto shouted at him, his words dripping with venom, "What is your motive?" he pointed an accusing finger at him; his blue eyes reflect the anger and hatred the blonde haired ninja had towards the sound medical ninja.
Not far behind him, Neji hardened his eyes, blank white eyes narrowed at the few supposedly opponents before them, taking the time to study them. Shiyuki, like her two other teammates, had some grudges towards the sound ninjas, she too kept her silver eyes at the few ninjas, though her eyes wander unconsciously to one of the sound ninjas from time to time, as though there was something about the particular one that she was familiar with, though she was not sure, providing that he had his head cast down and it was not in clear of a view from where she was standing. Kakashi simply, raised his visible eyebrow, with a 'sarcastic' look on his face, the copy ninja took to staring at the sound ninjas.
"Motive?" Kabuto repeated Naruto's question, the grin on his face widening, "It's nothing, really" he said slowly, once again raising his hand to push his glasses up, so that the glare of the light covered over his eyes.
"Don't take us for idiots!" Naruto practically, nearly screamed at Kabuto, his hands clenched into a fist, "Do you think that we are that stupid to fall for this kind of excuse?" the blonde Jounin snapped at him.
"I suppose so..." Kabuto smirked as he swung out his hand as if in exasperation, "Then we'll just have to do what we have to" his face suddenly turned serious as he snapped his fingers, the three other ninjas behind him springing forward, bringing themselves before each one of the other Konoha Jounins.
Some distance from them, near one of the pillars around the Quiddich pitch, which was almost empty saved for the ninjas and the wizards, Harry, Hermione, Ron and even Gai watched anxiously, Malfoy simply raised an eyebrow at the few pairs of ninjas in the field of the pitch.
"They know each other?" the question came from Harry, as the bespectacled wizard turned a little to look in Gai's direction, the question directed at the Taijutsu master. Hermione, Ron and even the 'almighty' Malfoy stared at him intently for an answer.
"Well..." Gai started, "You can say that I guess..." he trailed off as he suddenly snapped his head backwards, sensing some other people approaching.
The four wizards followed Gai's gaze only to see some of the professors rushing out from the Hogwarts building and towards the pitch. The Taijutsu master nearly jumped out of his skin when he spotted the few sound ninjas that were still hiding around springing out to ambush the older bunch of wizards that were running towards their direction. That was when he saw the professors holding out their wands against the attacking sound ninjas, casting spells at them. It was either the professors' aims were off or the ninjas were too fast for them because none of the spells hit their target. The few young wizards that were watching had a sarcastic face on, mouth dropped at the scene. Gai swung his hand to his forehead, sighing as he quickly stood up, springing forwards towards the professors. The wizards stood perfectly still as they watch the attackers came closer and closer by the second, but all of a sudden, a green blur brushed by them, knocking the attacking sound ninjas off way, only to find that the ninjas disappear in a puff of smoke when they fell.
Imagine the looks of utter shock and disbelief when they saw the green blur slow to a stop, revealing to be Gai himself. He turned back at them with his 'nice guy' pose and his wide toothy grin that sparkled at the edge of his teeth. A gust of cold wind blew across them, as the professors and wizards stare blankly at the Taijutsu master, eyes narrowed.
"Pro... Professor Maito!" exclaimed McGonagall as she slowly recovered from her state of shock, "Wha... What happened here?" she asked.
The four wizards hiding behind the nearby pillar ran towards the professors.
"Professors!" Hermione exclaimed, looking slightly abashed.
"Some people managed to get in here!" Ron continued, "And they just started to attack us!" he looked at his friends anxiously.
"Now, stop your nonsense!" Snape snapped, "How could anyone possibly get pass the wards around Hogwarts" he stare at them with distrust.
"But its true!" both Harry and Draco shouted at the same time, surprising everyone, including themselves, "Those people got in here, and if it was not for them we wouldn't even be here!" again, they both said at the same time, looking at each other before snapping their heads away in irritation.
"It is true" Gai said thoughtfully as all the eyes turned in his direction, "These are ninjas from the village of sound, where Orochimaru lies." he looked up at them with a serious face, "They knew Konoha would be helping the wizards, as they had side with Voldemort, so he sent these few here to check us out. I would think it was because of the help of Voldemort that they could managed to get in here... or by some other Jutsus..." he trailed off as he pointed towards the pillar that the four young wizards have been hiding with, "Just go take cover behind there!" he started off, with the young students following him.
Despite that, the professors stood still, making no attempts to move as Gai had said, they could see eight figures in the distance, the only few they could make out would be Naruto, Neji, Shiyuki and Kakashi.
"But we have to help the students!" squeaked Flitwick as he pointed in their direction.
"Yes! We couldn't possibly just hide while the children fight!" McGonagall insisted.
"Stop blabbering" Gai said, throwing them a disgusted face. "You saw how your spells were rendered 'useless' towards ordinary ninjas! Any trained ninja could dodge that! What good do you think you'll be if you choose to interfere now! By the way" he turned his back to them, "Naruto, Neji and Shiyuki aren't children anymore, they are professionals." he flashed his toothy smile before running off towards the pillar, the professors looked at each other before they decided for the best and followed him, taking cover.
From there the group watched intently. Kabuto smirked as he waved his hand, the other three sound ninjas spreading out, as the Konoha ninjas, except for Naruto went after the ones nearest to themselves. The sound ninja gave his glasses another push before extending his hand forward, gathering his Chakra to his hands as he lifted it before his chest horizontally.
"Well then..." the white haired ninja looked up at Naruto, meeting his eyes, "Shall we begin?" he asked as he dashed forwards, raising his 'Chakra-filled' hand before him.
He rushed towards Naruto, swinging his hand down just as Naruto jumped backwards, creating a large crater in the ground where the blonde had been standing just seconds ago. Naruto grimaced as he re-positioned himself and with a burst of speed, ran towards Kabuto; catching the medical ninja by surprise as the blonde haired Jounin aimed a punch to the left side of his face with surprising speed. Kabuto skidded back some distance, rubbing the graze on his face as he glared at Naruto, who in turn smirked back at him.
"You're quite good" Kabuto said, plastering a fake smile on his face as he stood upright.
"Of course!" Naruto snarled, "I am different from what I was!" he crouched down a little and with a boost of Chakra, jumped high into the air as he posed his hands into the plus sign, shouting, "Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" Shadow Replication Technique! With a loud 'poof' of smoke, dozens of Narutos appeared as they landed around Kabuto. "Now it's my turn!" he yelled as the dozens of Narutos sprang in towards Kabuto, who by now was still standing calmly in the middle, grinning as he readied himself for the incoming assault.
On the other side, the sound ninja with spiky dull green hair falling messily down his face and red eyes, Kagami, was fighting with Neji. The he raised his leg and stomped it down with great force as he began dashing in circles around the raven haired Jounin, the force increased his speed significantly, making him seem to be just a blur as he continued to circle Neji. While he ran, Kagami started by throwing kunais from every direction he had moved to, the shower of kunais thrown into midair before dropping back down to the ground, marking its target.
"Byakugan!" Neji, activated his Byakugan on seeing the weapons, lines of veins linked from the side of his eyes to his ears as he hurriedly scanned the distance of the shower of kunais before finally deciding. "Kaiten!" he cried as he spun his entire body around, releasing his Chakra as the spin quickly turned up in speed, deflecting every single kunai that showered down.
When all the kunais were deflected, Neji allowed himself to slow to a stop. A crater formed around him, caused by the intense spinning and his Chakra. Kagami stood before him, his face widened into a grin as his red eyes reflected the excitement he was feeling.
"Not bad." he said, as Neji looked up at him with his white eyes, Byakugan still activated. "At least give me your name" he at least for now, seriously held no bad intentions, "I am Kagami." he said as he flashed a smile.
"Hyuuga Neji" the raven haired Konoha Jounin stated, looking intently at him.
"Hyuuga... is it?" he seemingly questioned before snapping back in serious mode, eyes deadly serious as he sprung forwards, swinging his fist at Neji who blocked it with both his hands held up in a cross, both glaring at each other before they leaped away from each other, preparing to make their next move.
Just opposite where Neji is, another pair was deep in the heat of their fight as the blade of a pole axe met with kunai, creating gritting sounds and flashes from the hard grinding of metal against metal. The gray haired Jounin parried the blows from his opponent with his own kunai, as the said opponent, a well built male with dark brown hair combed backwards into spikes, as if with wax swung his pole axe at him continuously. Jigan brought his weapon down heavily, smashing at the area where Kakashi would have been standing. Had he not move away in time, he would suffer a heavy damage, just like the ground before him now had in the form of a wide hole.
"Close, too close" sighed the masked Konoha Jounin as he look from the hole before him up to the one who caused it. "You are?" he raised an eyebrow as he asked as he straightened his posture.
"Jigan" was the plain answer he got, as his opponent eyed Kakashi with distrust, tightening his hold on his pole axe.
"Hatake Kakashi" the copy ninja said, rubbing the back of his head with one hand, "Should I say... nice to meet you or..." he stopped as he looked at Jigan with his eye, facial expression turning into a serious one, "Shall we continue?" he asked as he forked out some shurikens.
Fanning out the shurikens he had in his hand, he held it to his chest before suddenly flicking his wrist, sending the shurikens flying out from his hand and at Jigan who immediately raised his pole axe in defense position as soon as he saw the shurikens.
Some distance away was the last pair of ninjas. Shiyuki stared hard at her opponent as she slowly drew out her kunais from her pouch, each in one hand. Her opponent who was the last male involved in helping Orochimaru here, had bright orange hair that was tied neatly into a braid, ending just at his waist, the shorter fringes and side burns frame messily around his face, shadowing his eyes. He slowly reached for the katana hanging by his belt, unsheathing it and positioning it upright in front of him. With a roar, he sprang forwards, swinging his katana downwards at the kunoichi as she instantly brought up both her hands, clutching a kunai each in a cross, bracing herself for the impact. The orange haired male clutched his katana's hilt tightly as he swung it down, clashing with both of Shiyuki's kunai blades, creating sounds of gritting metal, as both pushed at their own weapons with their all their strength, with no one making any attempts to back down.
It was only until now did the male raised his head, his shadowed eyes revealed to be a bright emerald green as he looked intently at the female ninja before him.
"Shiyuki..." he called, as his eyes softened.
Before him, the purple haired kunoichi widened her silver eyes when she heard her opponent called her name. She stared at him, hard, until something inside her clicked after a few seconds. Now, she suddenly began to find the male sound ninja familiar... very familiar. Shiyuki then took to study him once more, bright orange hair... green eyes... and that katana... that was when it hit her.
They knew each other.
She blinked her eyes, completely shocked, as she nearly faltered with her hold on the kunais, 'It... couldn't be...' she thought as she stared at him.
"Te... Tetsuya...?" she whispered the name in disbelieve as she looked into his green eyes, "But you..." she could not seemed to find the words to express her feelings, "Why?" that was the only word she could ask right now, as she pushed his katana off with her kunai in a boost of strength.
The male ninja leaped back some paces, but kept his gaze on her, "I see you still remembered your ex-teammate" he said simply, shifting his gasp on his katana.
"How... could I have forgotten about it?" she replied, her silver eyes cast on the ground, "I treasure the days when we were still with each other, you and me... and Ryuya..." she stopped abruptly when she felt his presence getting closer.
Shiyuki could only keep her gaze still as a katana swipe by the left side of her face, grazing her left cheek and cutting off some strands of her long purple hair, leaving a diagonal line of wound as blood began to ooze out from the cut, tickling down her cheek. Blank, that was the only word that could describe what she was feeling right now, her silver eyes stared blankly at Tetsuya as he slowly withdrew his katana, positioning it once again in front of himself.
"That..." he started, his voice cold like the ice. "Was all in the past" he tightened his grip as he looked at his ex-teammate with hard steel eyes, "Ryuya is never going to come back, no matter how much we treasured him. You are a Konoha ninja and I am now helping Orochimaru" a tint of sadness graced his tone as he continued, "That's why we have to fight" he straightened his hold on his katana as he held it up facing her.
"Is... that so..." she said softly, her eyes clouded with grief as she return her kunais back into her pouch, holding her hand with her palm facing up before her as she continued. "I understand" she said, her voice steely hard as her silver eyes now showed an undermined seriousness.
Tetsuya's eyes widened in realization when he saw her silver eyes turned blue and water swirl from her palm, forming into the figure of a sword which then hardened, until the bluish water turned into a very light shade of near white blue. The water became ice. Holding the ice sword tightly in her hands, her now blue eyes glared into his before she swung her sword to the side and charged at him, the latter hurriedly brought up his katana to parry the ice sword. Once again, both hold and push against each other's weapon, neither giving up.
From the onlooker's point of view, the fights are in total chaos. Four pairs of ninjas each fight in their own way and away from the others; it was quite a problem to decide whose battle they would want to watch. So the few onlookers shifted their gaze once in a while. With Naruto, they saw the blonde create numerous replications of himself as he attacked the white haired ninja; using a skill he created himself, the 'Uzumaki Naruto Rendan" on Kabuto, the clones attacked him continuously. At Neji's, they saw how he managed to decipher the opponent's every attack, dodging them rather fluently. It was quite a shock when they saw him using his Kaiten, deflecting all weapons and it even result in a crater in the ground. And to Kakashi, they saw how he had agilely used a few of the techniques he had copied against Jigan, as the brown haired ninja struck his pole axe at him. Lastly, their eyes landed on the sole female ninja, they were puzzled when she suddenly stopped in her actions, merely looking at her opponent and saying something, but not long after, the fight continued as she created an ice sword and charged towards the orange haired ninja.
As Gai watched her fight, it suddenly occurred to him that he had seen the orange haired male somewhere... but he just could not remember where. The lot of wizards and professors included was just staring at the chaotic scene in astonishment, jaws sank as they watched how the ninjas fight; it was a completely different way compared to them and they finally understood why they were here in the first place. Gai watched them with amusement in his eyes, chuckling inwardly as he saw the shock and surprise plastered on their faces. Then a sudden bomb of explosion caught their attention as they turned towards the direction of the cause.
Naruto was half kneeling on the ground as Kabuto stood some distance away from him; bruises were clearly seen on his face and hands as were some on Kabuto's face. Neji had a cut across one of his hand as he dealt a blow, enough to give some light damage to Kagami's body on his stomach as the latter fell backwards. Kakashi was about the only one totally unscathed as he agilely aimed a kick at Jigan's shin. Shiyuki held her ice sword with her left hand, her right arm had been slashed by the katana and blood was now flowing freely down her arm, some dripping onto the grass below, she stick her sword in the ground, momentarily leaning on it as she watch Tetsuya. The latter was not that lucky either, Shiyuki had managed to cut him across the left of his arm, but despite that, he stood tall, not making any moves to stop the blood flow.
Kabuto once again smirked as he snapped his fingers; the other three sound ninjas appeared instantly by his side. Naruto stood up slowly, as his other comrades joined him.
"That's enough for now." the white haired ninja said, pushing his glasses again. "Let's continue the next time!" he grinned at them before jumping and disappearing into the shadows.
The other three made to follow him when a sudden cry stopped everyone in their actions.
"Tetsuya!" it was Shiyuki, she was staring at his back, the ice sword dismissed as she clutched her right arm with her left hand.
Naruto, Neji, Kakashi and Gai's eyes exploded when they heard the name. They stare from her to the one who was supposedly Tetsuya, mouth agape. Tetsuya turned back, his eyes resting on Shiyuki momentarily before he turned away and disappear, as did the other two ninjas. The only thing they could do was only to stare, until the wizards and professors rushed towards them.
"Children!" came McGonagall's voice as she stopped before them, looking intently at the ninjas, "Are you all right?" she asked.
Naruto and Neji look to where Shiyuki was, she was kneeling on the ground, blood dripping slowly down her arm. Kakashi sighed. Who would have thought that things would turn out this way? Gai moved to her side, resting a hand on her shoulder, bringing her attention to him as she looked up at him, her expression unreadable.
"Cheer up Shiyuki! Let's embrace the youth!" he said, putting on his toothy smile and his 'nice guy' pose once again as his teeth sparkled at the edge, sending lines of dread down everyone elses' face as they stared at him with halved eyes.
But to everyone's utter surprise, Shiyuki suddenly chuckled as she walked forwards, a slight smile plastered on her face as she said, "Well? Shall we go back then?" she then turned and started walking back into the castle.
Naruto and Neji looked at each other before running after her. Harry, Ron and Hermione following them right after. Malfoy stalked back to the Slytherin's common room, feeling displeased as he had been the one proven wrong in the ninja's abilities, but at the same time, he was totally amazed and awed by their display. Kakashi and Gai sighed as they saw the professors staring at them; all demanding an explanation, and then followed the professors to the headmaster's room, but not before Kakashi send a message back to the Konoha village.
Just when the three Jounins reached the castle, Hermione stopped them, pulling on Shiyuki's arm as she said, "The hospital wing! You all really should go there now, you're all injured!" she exclaimed as she tug on her arm, leading her towards the hospital wing, the others were left with little choice but to follow them.
It did not take them very long to reach the hospital wing. The moment they enter, Madam Promfey, the medic in charge rushed over, but the problems the ninjas were having does not need serious examine to be able to see.
"Oh my!" she practically exclaimed the minute her eyes landed on Shiyuki's still bleeding arm, "Here, come with me!" she then led the ninjas away, cleaning the wound and applying cream on the bruises.
Not long after, the three Jounins came out, all injuries taken care of. The three wizards were waiting outside the hospital wing, when the Jounins came out, the group of six began to move slowly back to the Gryffindor common room. The trip back to their common room was done in total silence, no one spoke or make a sound. But the wizards certainly did see Naruto and Neji cast strange looks to each other and eyed their teammates, who had on an unreadable expression on her face and seemed to be deep in thought.
Soon, the group entered into their Gryffindor common room, giving the password to the spirit in the painting guarding the Gryffindor room. After taking a look around the entire Gryffindor's dorm, Harry concluded that, besides the students who like himself should have been attending the Ninja Combat lesson, and those huge groups of students were currently in the Great Hall, still not yet getting over their shock of nearly being attacked, the other students were still in their classes. So, the only ones who were now inside the Gryffindor dorm were only the six of them as they seated themselves in the couch now available in the common room.
"Is that really him?" Naruto spoke as he looked intently at Shiyuki, "That really is Tetsuya?" he voiced his question with as much caution and a tint of uncertainty in his tone.
Blue eyes stare at her intently, waiting for her to say anything. Neji had his white eyes on her; a faint tint of worry was visible through his eyes. Harry, Ron and Hermione could only watch the scene in silence.
"Um..." the simple answer she gave confirmed what they had seen and heard just moments ago.
"Who are those guys?" Harry asked timidly, afraid that he would say anything they would rather not talk about in this stiff situation, "And who's the Tetsuya you are all talking about?" he looked at his ninja friends, as did Ron and Hermione.
"The ones who made the attacks were ninjas from the village of sound, they were under Orochimaru, who had somehow allied himself with Voldemort or whoever here" Naruto stated flatly, turning his eyes on them.
"They were probably trying to get more information if there were any reinforcements that Konoha had sent here" Neji added, closing his eyes as he sighed.
"And... as for Tetsuya..." the raven haired ninja trailed off as he snapped his eyes open, casting a look at his teammate before continuing, "He is Shiyuki's former teammate and someone she had known from her childhood" he simply said, though he kept his voice small.
"He was supposed to be missing..." the purple haired kunoichi said suddenly, "Missing... from the day when we return from our mission... without Ryuya..." she stopped for a while, "And that was years ago... he never appeared before anyone again... why would he ally himself with Orochimaru..." she trailed off, biting her lip in frustration.
"Let's just forget about that for the time" Naruto said in his cheerful voice, putting a hand on her shoulders as she looked up at him, "It's no use brooding over the past anyway... besides, I have a feeling that we may have guests later..." he eyed both his teammates, who seemed quite amused.
Miles away, back in the Konoha village; the fifth Hokage had just received the message from Kakashi, she look through all the available members of the Jounin team before finally deciding on one and sending them to Hogwarts right away. The team of three consist of a female, who had her hair tied into two buns and wore Chinese styled clothes, someone who can almost be called, a modified version of a carbon copy of Gai's and the last, a male who was totally uninterested in everything and disliked troublesome things. They sprinted to the Hogwarts castle as instructed by the fifth Hokage, as she gave them a scroll just before they left, reminding them to give it to the headmaster.
Back in Hogwarts, it was already night time as the group consisting of three wizards and Jounins made their way to the Great Hall, dragging themselves over to the Gryffindor table as they sat down on the bench, just before the headmaster made his announcement.
"I am sure, every one of you here had heard of the incident this afternoon" he said, his eyes scanning around the hall, "And I am also aware that many of you had suffered great shocks. Thus, I announce that there will be no classes for the next day, so as to calm yourselves down" Dumbledore announced, as murmurs spread through the hall, whether he was going to continue with his speech or not was not known as something happened the next second.
Loud 'proofs' sounded through the entire hall as a thick cloud of smoke appeared in the Great hall, totally alarming all the wizards present, the professors included as Dumbledore simply narrowed his eyes at the scene. The five ninjas present instantly stiffened as they made to move closer to the now dispersing smoke, as they got nearer to it, they could hear voices from inside.
"What are you doing!" exclaimed one, who was obviously a female because of the higher pitch of her voice.
"I didn't do anything!" came the frantic voice of another, this time a male.
"Ahh... this is troublesome..." muttered a third male voice.
The five ninjas raised an eyebrow at the voice; it just could be that they knew who exactly these people were. Some seconds later, the thick smoke faded to reveal the three inside. The female as heard from her voice wore a Chinese style pink blouse and long blue pants, her brown hair tied up into two buns as brown eyes looked at the five. The next wore a rather transparent shirt and a jacket over it, with a dull green trousers, his rather long black hair tied high into a ponytail that looks rather spiky, his black eyes halved as he look at the few before him. The last wore a green elastic training suit; his black hair was done in a bowl shaped cut as his black eyes looked intently at those before him.
"Tenten...?" Shiyuki said as she stared at her with a raised eyebrow and the latter smiled at her.
"Shikamaru?" Neji questioned as the other gave a yawn.
The last one of all caused the sarcastic face on Naruto, Neji and Shiyuki's faces. Kakashi brought his book higher to cover as much of the scene that was predicted and sure to happen when he heard Gai yelled enthusiastically, "LEE!" and began running towards the said male who stood looking at Gai with a 'teary' face.
"Thick eyebrow?" Naruto gasped out upon seeing him.
The next moment, the entire Great Hall was filled with cries as both teacher and student embraced each other, crying out "Lee!" "Gai-sensei!" repeatedly as they hugged one another, torrents of tears flow down their faces like waterfalls.
Kakashi took to staring at his book as the other five younger Jounins stared at the scene with halved eyes, swinging their hands to their foreheads as drops of sweat drop down their heads. The wizards in the hall could only watch with blank faces, as the temperature in the hall dropped several degrees.
Sighing, all the Konoha ninjas, all except Gai and Lee, who was busy hugging each other, inwardly screamed, 'Not the student and teacher affection thing again!' as they dropped their heads in defeat.
