About 11:30
Sato stopped short as soon as she stepped outside of the Ninja Academy, jaw dropped. As a result, Shinri, Makuro, and Yoake all crashed unceremoniously into her back. Yoake collided painfully into the doorpost…
Shinri cursed, and shoved his fellow cellmate out of the way, "Dammit Sato, what are you—oh. Wow."
Sato couldn't help laughing, ignoring the fact that Shinri has pushed her. The scene in front of them was too hilarious.
Three boys (One older and two younger) were lying on the ground with various scuff-marks, emitting sounds of pain. There was a pink haired kunoichi sitting on the ground next to them, looking murderous and guilty at the same time. A smaller girl was hiding behind the girl with the pink hair, looking awed.
And then there was of course the dark-haired Uchiha sulking on the other side of the yard doing his best to look cool and ignore everything that was going on with his fellow genin.
Yoake rolled her eyes, "For gosh sakes—"
She stepped out into the yard, hands on her hips and giving the genin her best evil eye.
"On you feet, Konoha. Look smart."
At once the three genin got to their feet and were at attention, the boy in the orange jumpsuit a little slower than the other two. Shinri, Makuro, and Shinri fell in behind their Sensai and waited for her to say whatever she was going to say.
"Good morning, cell seven." Yoake nodded to the kids.
"Morning Yorukage." They replied, dipping their heads.
"See that, Sato?" Shinri hissed in Sato's ear, "They show the Kage respect. Something new for you, isn't it?"
Sato held back a terrible urge to elbow the snake-nin in the ribs, and instead settled for clearing her throat pointedly and shuffling her feet.
"Well, here they are." Yoake gestured behind her to the night cell, "I trust that you will both get along and if not, then grind your teeth and bear it."
"Wow she's hot!" Udon whispered loudly to Konohamaru, pointing at Yoake.
Yoake sighed, but otherwise made no sign that she had heard the comment, "Alright, my cell. Be at the Blue moon in at seven, I trust also that the Leaf cell will show you where that fine building is so you can know where to go."
As one, The night cell nodded.
Already the two teams of genin were making eyes at each other, sizing each other up, calculating how hard it would be to take each other down…Yoake saw this and intervened.
"OK, new plan. Haruno Sakura, you will be escorting Serioyuki Makuro, Uchiha Sasuke you will be escorting…Hebigiru Shinri, and Uzamaki Naruto you willl be escorting Tasogare Satora." Yoake dusted her hands, and looked satisfied, "And rest assured, all six of you. Should a fight break out you will answer to both me and the Hokage."
"Tell me, Yorukage." Shinri asked icily, staring down Sasuke with venom, "Why couldn't there have been another Leaf cell to do this job?"
Yoake did not answer. She clapped her hands, beamed, and was gone in a puff of smoke.
"You've got the sexy one, boss!" Konohamaru said loudly to Naruto.
Sato exchanged glances with her cellmates. For one of the few times in all the time they had known each other, they were united in the same thought. This was going to be one long afternoon.
