Kakashi knew something was up the minute he walked through the door. The classroom was empty. Being a jonin, he was immediately on guard. Naruto obviously planned some something, but why hadn't it gone off yet? He scanned the room and spied a tripwire that barely glinted in the sun. Smirking under his mask, he decided to humor his team and test their trap. He placed one foot on the wire and-
"NOW!" A barrage of kunai and shuriken bombarded the masked ninja, which he dodged with ease. Naruto snuck up from behind and attempted to tackle him.
"Not today. You are about 27 years to late to be attempting an attack on Kakashi Hatake, but nice try. You might be able to get me in a few years, or when I'm dead. You three seem to be an interesting combination. Meet me on the roof." He poofed away in a puff of smoke.
"Darn! I thought it worked..." Tobio just shook his head muttering about someone's "unrealistic expectations."
Hinata tried to console the riled-up ninja. "Naruto, if our sensei could be taken down just from that, he wouldn't be able to teach us anything."
Naruto thought a moment. "I guess you are right. Let's go meet him on the roof!" Hinata giggled and Tobio just sighed at Naruto's sudden personality change.
"Okay, let's start with the ever amusing introductions!" The three genin looked absolutely thrilled to be doing this.
"Meh, aren't you going to tell us anything? We don't even know your name." Kakashi smiled.
"I am Kakashi Hatake. I like stuff. I dislike things. Hobbies and dreams..." He shrugged.
"Well, we learned your name. That's a start." Kakashi turned to the girl who just spoke.
"How about you now." She looked down and twitched her fingers.
"I am Hinata Hyuuga. I like my friends. I dislike bad people. I like to cook and press flowers. My goal is to become stronger." Her soft voice and meek persona signaled to Kakashi signs of lacking self-confidence.
"I'll go! I'm Naruto Uzumaki! I will be the next Hokage! I like ramen, my friends, and training! My hobbies are pranks and escaping the ANBU! As for dislikes, I don't like waiting on instant ramen. I don't like fire either... and I don't like it when people hurt me and try to kill me, break into my house and destroy everything, and call me a demon that needs to die." The last part was barely a whisper but it was enough for his team to hear.
Hoping to break the uncomfortable silence, Tobio went next. "You better remember me! I like my bro Naruto and my other friends and family. I train hard everyday with my older brother. I hate it when people ignore me! I spend my free time helping people and training to become strong. I want to grow up to be strong enough to protect my family and friends. Remember the name Tobio Miotosu!" Kakashi about fell off the roof.
"OBITO?!" Tobio looked confused.
"No way! I said Tobio! TO-BI-O!" Kakashi looked frustrated, but quickly regained his composure.
"Right, sorry about that. I knew someone named Obito. Your name is similar and it caught me off guard." Kakashi threw them a scroll. "This has the details of tomorrows assignment. See you then." Kakashi disappeared again leaving the three to look over the scroll and contemplate their odd teacher.
- Kakashi's POV -
Shit. Kami must hate me for some reason. Damn it! Why did a boy that was almost like Obito's long lost brother doing on my team? Naruto he could handle. After all, I prepared myself to face a copy of Minato. But Obito? No chance. They even looked similar! He had the same grin that labled him a troublemaker and dark hair and eyes similar to the Uchiha. At least Hinata isn't a copy of Rin. I don't know if I could handle that.
I knelt down and placed the flowers at the memorial stone like I do everyday. With everything that's happened today, I had a lot to think about. "Obito, Minato, Rin... What would you three do in my position?"
My musings were interrupted by two people nearing. I hid myself and waited to see who it was.
"Come on Naruto. I want to show you where my parents are."
"... I wish I knew something about my family."
The two unnaturally somber voices of Tobio and Naruto caught me off guard. I decided to keep an eye on the two boys. They walked over to the cemetery and stopped by two graves. The graves of Tobio's parents. After a while, Icould hear them speaking again.
"Hey Naruto, maybe your parents names are on the rock Kakashi stares at." I silently fumed at his disrespect. Those people are all heroes!
"Okay..." It was unsettling seeing the usual bundle of hyperactive energy so solemn. I decided to make my presence known and appeared before the boys.
"Yo." They looked shocked but quickly recovered.
"What do you want? We're in the middle of something important!" I put my hand up silencing him.
"I thought you might want help." The two shared skeptical glances, but followed nonetheless. At the stone, I spoke again. "This is a memorial for all the heroes who died protecting Konoha. Every person sacrificed himself for the good of the village."
The boys scanned the names and Tobio was first to speak up. "Hey! Here's the name of that guy you said you knew, Obito! He was an Uchiha? How come we never heard of him?"
"Obito was my teammate and best friend. He died on a mission 15 years ago. He was a greater ninja than I'll ever be." I felt depressed just speaking of him.
"Kakashi sensei? I think I found one of my parents." I forgot Naruto was still here.
"Really? Well, who is it?" I braced myself for his answer.
"Kushina Uzumaki. We both have the same last name!" His face was glowing with pride, but I saw sorrow in his blue eyes.
"She was your mother. She died fighting to protect you. I knew her and she loved you more than anything in the world."
"But I don't know who my father is..." I ruffled his blond hair.
"Trust me, in a few years, it will be obvious." I chuckled to myself while the other two looked confused. My team is an interesting one.
A/N: I don't like this chapter very much. I wanted to introduce everyone, but I didn't know what to do after that. It honestly was kind of depressing to write. Hopefully the next chapter will be better!
