Fox of Nine and Wolf of Seven
Setsuna Kaori Hitsugya
Summary – Working on it
Since my original fic hasn't warranted any reviews I've decided to rewrite it. For those who've read the original fic there will be a lot of changes to this, (Practically the whole damn fic.) I will also try to deviate from focusing on my personal character but he will have some focus.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Some ideas in this story belong to other writers that I fail to recall
"Speech"
'thoughts'
Demons/inner selves
Jutsus

Chapter 3:
Setsuna gaped at the Hokage.
"Are you serious jii-san?!"
"Absolutely," Sarutobi chucked, "You've worked alone for far too long and its high time you had a team. Also I feel your experiences will be best for these three."
"You are out of your senile old mind," Setsuna sighed, running a hand through his hair, "You are aware that the council's gonna have a shit-fit when they hear of this."
"The council has no say in shinobi matters. You should know that better than anyone," Sarutobi replied lightly.
"Very well," Setsuna relented, " Who will our sensei be?" he asked rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"I am to meet him later," Sarutobi smiled, " Just be in the designated classroom after lunch."
"Roger, Hokage-sama," Setsuna replied, turning to leave the Hokage's office.
After Lunch
"Hello Setsuna, how are you doing?" the pineapple-haired chunin teacher asked as the last Hitsugya entered the classroom.
"Been better, you?"
"Still a bit sore from the incident with Mizuki a few nights ago," Iruka replied indicating the bandages still around his neck, " Sadly I don't have your's or Naruto's healing abilities."
"Understandable," Setsuna replied with a quiet chuckle.
"Anyway I received the Hokage's letter. Its good that you're finally getting a new team."
"Yeah except my teammates are several years my junior and less experienced," Setsuna grumbled.
"Well I'm waiting for the genin to get back from their lunch," Iruka explained, " If you wouldn't mind helping me until the Jonin arrive I'd appreciate it."
"Sure no problem," Setsuna nodded.
"Thanks," Iruka replied as the genin began to file back into the classroom.
Three hours later
" Cut it out Naruto!" exclaimed a rose-haired girl, as the blond-haired boy stuck his head out in the hall way for the hundredth time.
"Sakura, why are we the only cell whose teacher hasn't shown up yet?!" Naruto asked as he walked away from the door, " All the other teams have left with their teachers. Even Iruka-sensei has gone." Suddenly Naruto grinned causing Setsuna to groan from his seat on the ceiling.
"Hey!! what are you doing Naruto?!!" Sakura exclaimed as Naruto set an eraser in the doorway.
"That's what he gets for making us wait!!" Naruto replied, jumping down from the desk he was standing on.
Sakura replied with a simple, "Grow up, I want no part of it."
"Humph," snorted the raven-haired boy still sitting at a desk, "There's no way a superior shinobi would be caught by such a childish trick."
'If our sensei is who I think it is then yeah there is,' Setsuna thought, rolling his eyes.
As if on cue, someone slid open the door, causing the eraser to fall onto a mess of silver hair.
Naruto laughed like a loon, Sakura was apologizing profusely, Sasuke glared skeptically and Setsuna simply dropped off the ceiling and leaned on a desk.
"Hmm... how shall I put this?" Kakashi began, rubbing his masked chin, chuckling lightly, "Based on my first impression, I'd have to say..."
Setsuna stood and left the classroom, knowing where the conversation was going.
'At least he didn't ruin my fun,' Kakashi thought as he watched his ward use A.N.B.U. hand signs to signal that he was heading to the roof, " ...you three suck." He finished, "Now everyone to the roof." With that he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
On the Roof
"How are you Setsu?" Kakashi asked the azure-haired boy as he approached the railing.
"Same as this morning," Setsuna replied simply, leaning on the railing.
"Well I guess you know, but the council is pushing that I allow Sasuke to pass," Kakashi explained nonchalantly.
"Guessed as much,. Tch damn politicians, sticking their nose where it doesn't belong," Setsuna muttered, "Let me guess, they want you to fail Naruto as well, huh?"
"Yep," Kakashi replied.
"Are you?"
"Nope, I'll pass these three on my own terms," Kakashi replied smiling, "As Anko would say, 'the council can go get a kunai enema for all I care,' they have no say in ninja matters."
"Wisest thing I've heard you say yet," Setsuna chuckled as the other three members of squad seven exited the building,
"Alrighty then lets begin with introductions," Kakashi said, addressing the other three genin.
"Why don't you give us an example sensei?" Sakura asked as she and the three boys sat on the steps.
"Well... My name is Hatake Kakashi, as for my likes and dislikes, you're too young to know them," Setsuna groaned as Kakashi gigged perversely, " As for my hobbies, I have lots of hobbies and my dreams are none of your business."
The three new genin simply gaped at the silver-haired jonin.
"Alright then Blondie, you're first," Kakashi said, gesturing to Naruto.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto! What I like is ramen, especially the ramen from the Ichiraku Noodle Bar!! What I hate is the three minuets you have to wait after you add the hot water,"
'Kid sees to have nothing more than ramen on the brain,' Kakashi thought.
"and my dream is to be a greater ninja than Lord Hokage and earn the respect of the entire village!" Naruto exclaimed loudly, "I guess my hobbies would be training with Nii-san and playing pranks."
'Well he's turned out interesting,' Kakashi thought, shooting a glance at the crimson-eyed youth who was currently not paying attention, "Alright emo, your turn."
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke, I like nothing and dislike a lot, my ambition is to rebuild my clan and to destroy a certain someone," Sasuke stated, using his best 'Gendou Ikari' pose.
"No surprises there,' Kakashi thought, rolling his visible eye, "Pinkie, you're up."
(Gonna sum up Sakura's up in exactly one word... BLUSH.)
"Alright, Setsuna, why don't you introduce yourself to the little newbies," Kakashi said as Sakura turned her normal color.
"Sure, my name is Hitsugya Setsuna, I've been a genin since I was eight. I like those who try their hardest for something rather than expecting someone to hand it to them, I dislike so called geniuses and prodigies especially when they don't deserve such titles. My goal is to one day surpass my two idols, Yondaime Hokage and Uchiha Itachi, the only two people I've met who deserved to be called a genius," Setsuna paused to gauge Sasuke's reaction, "My hobbies include, helping out around the village, especially at the orphanage, and hanging out with my otouto, Naruto."
Naruto beamed at Setsuna while Sasuke scoffed, "You can't be all that great if you've been a genin for seven years," he sneered.
"Shut up teme!" Naruto snapped, he was about to attack the Uchiha emo until Setsuna stopped him.
"I have my reasons as to why I'm still a genin," Setsuna explained then smirked and added, "but it's good that you know your math Sasuke-chan."
Naruto hit the floor laughing and Kakashi chuckled while Sakura and Sasuke glared at Setsuna indignantly.
"Alright then, everyone meet at training ground seven at six o'clock tomorrow morning. You three..." Kakashi said gesturing at the younger three, " skip breakfast or you'll puke."
"Why sensei?" Sakura asked, tentatively.
"Tomorrow will be a survival exam, against me, I'll explain more tomorrow," Kakashi turned to Setsuna, "you're exempt Setsu but please don't reveal anything."
"Sure anything else?" Setsuna nodded.
"Yeah, Guy's issued another challenge and he'd like you to judge tonight."
"Damn, I'm supposed to meet Ibiki later as well... Sigh...Alright what time?"
"As soon as we're done here," Kakashi replied.
"Alright but make it quick," Setsuna said as Kakashi shushined away.
"Alright, see you tomorrow otouto," Setsuna said to Naruto before vanishing in a cloud of dust.

Alright sorry for the long update but with me moving and trying to find a job I haven't had much time to write up Chapter 4, but happily I have Chapter 4 on paper and am in the process of proofreading it and starting up on Chapter 5. As for the story progress, I have ideas for events all the way up to the chunin exams. The storyline will follow the actual storyline until the wave arc after that there will be quite a few creative liberties.
