"Yes, here you go."

"YAY!"

Chapter 2

/One Week Later, Purified Sanctity of Learning, er, Konoha Academy/

"Ok, the teams are, team eight, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Hyuga Hitatsu. Your sensei is Natsuki Uzumaki-Namikaze, and she has a message for you three, 'I have chosen hidden talent of this class, they are the best of the best, and I expect Ino and Shikamaru to have droped the act before I get there, or else... and Hitatsu, you are probably the strongest of the class, so stop beating yourself up about being weak.'." Instantly, Shikamaru sat up straighter, and Ino lost the goo-goo eyes she had been giving Sasuke, and she looked forward seriously. Everyone stared at them in shock, not used to seeing them like that.

The rest of the teams were assigned, and then the senseis came in, one by one taking the teams until only team seven was left. Two minutes after the last of the other teams left, a girl walked in. "Team eight. Meet on the roof." she said, before disappearing in a poof of smoke, surprising them, then, they went to the roof.

When they got there, they saw the same girl sitting on the side of the roof. "Well, sit down." she said, with a cold expression, and they immediately knew that she was much stronger than she appeared, so they listened. "Now, tell me about yourselves, likes dislikes hobbies, ect." she said.

Ino decided to start. "My name is Ino Yamanaka. My likes are training, flowers, my family, friends, and learning new techniques. My dislikes are people who hurt or talk down to my friends, bullies, perverts, Sasuke and Sakura. My hobbies are training with my father, hanging out with my friends, training on my own, and helping out in the family flower shop. My dream is to be a good clan head one day, and to be part of the T&I department." she said, getting a raised eyebrow from Shikamaru.

"Well, since Ino is doing her real one, I might as well too. My name is Shikamaru Nara. My likes are cloud-watching, my friends and family, some foods, training with my father, playing shogi with my father, and messing with people by dropping my mask suddenly, then putting it back up. My dislikes are people who push me outside of training and games, bullies, and people who try to push their ideals onto others. My hobbies are hanging out with my friends and family, playing shogi with my father, training and cloud watching. My dreams are to be a great militant mind like my father in the future, and have a loving family of my own." Shikamaru said, surprising Ino, and getting a nod from his sensei.

"M-my name is Hitatsu Hyuga. M-my likes are m-my friends, m-my little s-sister, my c-cousin, a-and my uncle. M-my dislikes are m-my father, bullies, a-and the b-b-branch family system. M-my hobbies are p-pressing flowers 'que blush' training, a-and helping my l-little sister w-with clan techniques. M-my goal is to u-unite the main and b-branch family houses." Hitatsu said, getting shocked looks from both of his teammates, and a smile from his sensei.

"Ok, you have been open and honest with me, so I will be open with you. My name is Natsuki Uzumaki-Namekaze. My likes are the old Hokage, and my godfather, even though they are perverts, also training, learning and making nin, and genjutsu, and reading my description in the bingo book; its fuckin' hilarious! Oh! Oh! and, POKKY! My dislikes are people who underestimate me because of my age and gender, perverts sans the before-mentioned perverts, the former civilian council, and the former elders. My hobbies are training, pissing off people I don't like, reading, gardening, and singing. My dreams are to become hokage, preform in public someday, and maybe teach the next great ninja team." she said, getting shocked looks from all three genin at how open she was.

"Th-thank you for being that open, Natsuki-sensei." Ino said, the other two nodding in agreement. "Well, you can repay me by not embarrassing me, I did just say that you three were the best of the class; now you have to prove it!" She said, and the genin nodded their heads sharply, even Hitatsu. "Now, I want you three to meet me at training ground eight tomorrow at seven o'clock for training, though I still expect you to train by yourselves, ok?" she asked, and they nodded. "Ok, see you tomorrow for tortu-uh-training! Yeah, training!" Natsuki said, making the three pale, before she jumped off the edge of the building, but when the genin looked over the edge, all they saw was a silver shimmer, before it disappeared.

"Did she say that she had a page in the bingo book?" Ino asked cautiously. "I-I think so." Hitatsu said, still looking at the spot their sensei disappeared at. Shikamaru took out a copy he kept on himself, and he paled, but chuckled a bit weakly when he read the page. "W-well, I can s-see how it would be funny to her, but..." He handed it to his teammates, who also paled. "Y-y-yes, I c-could s-s-see how i-it would b-be funny to he-er." Hitatsu said, and Ino nodded, recovering, and laughing a little. "Yeah, 'With an army, piss yourself and try like hell to escape.' that would be funny as hell to see." The others laughed a little. "Hey, maybe we will be able to see it!" Shikamaru said, getting laughs from his teammates.

"Hey, how about we go and get some barbeque or ramen or something?" Ino asked, and Hitatsu hesitated before saying shyly, "I-I like p-pokky, and c-cinimonbuns." Ino beamed at the progress from even earlier in the day. "That's fine; how about we pick up some of both?" Shikamaru asked, also pleased with his progress.

In the shadows, Natsuki beamed at their progress. 'At this rate, they will be a well oiled machine on the field!' she thought, then left to give her report.

/Senior Living Apartment, er, Hokage Office/

"So, how did everyone think of their teams?" Hiruzen asked. "Well, my team was ok." Asuma sighed. "They get along well enough, but that is because Kiba is aggressive, and seems to be trying to take control of the team. Chouji is quiet, but seems to be hiding a bit of potential. Shino is quiet, and has a logical mindset common with the Aburame clan." he said, getting nods from the others.

Kakashi looked up, he had actually been on time, and didn't have his book, (Mostly because he was shown the bingo book, and told that Natsuki didn't like perverts, or late people, and had her mothers temperament.) "'sigh' my 'team' if you can CALL it a team, is horrible. The Uchiha, is an arrogant prick that is obsessed with revenge, and won't open up, the Haruno is an Uchiha fangirl, that is obsessed to the point of death practically, and then there's my nephew, who might be able to make it, but I would have to focus on him by himself. I request dropping the Uchiha and Haruno from the shinobi program, and taking my nephue on as an apprentice." He said, and Hiruzen nodded, a serious look on his face.

"Yes, I approve, you may drop them, and you may take him on as your apprentice. Now, Natsuki, how was your team?" he asked. "It was great! All of them opened up, and they introduced themselves without asking me to do the same, so I did mine, and they even thanked me for it! Then, after I 'left' they decided to look up one of my likes, and even found out exactly why I like it~!" she said, and they all immediately knew which one the genin had looked up; Hiruzen and Natsuki cracked up.

"Oh, your description is so funny!" Hiruzen said, and Kakashi and Asuma sweat-dropped. "I-it's not that funny, dad." he said. "Oh, yes it is, but only to people who have actually seen it!" Natsuki said, and Hiruzen nodded. Kakashi and Asuma looked at each-other and shrugged; they hadn't seen it, so they couldn't say.

"Anyway, after that, they decided to get to know each-other better too!" Natsuki said, getting approving sounds from Hiruzen, and jealous looks from the jounin. "How come you got the good team?" Asuma asked, but Natsuki just laughed and said, "I bribed your father with the secret of paperwork, and got to choose my kids. I went to the academy and watched them, and found the ones that would work best together and whose skills would most compliment each-others, then chose them for a team." she explained, getting shocked looks from the jounin.

They finished up the meeting, and the jounin left. As she was walking around Konoha, Natsuki was thinking about her team. 'hmm, they seem to be smart, yet are still able to take a leap of faith when required. That is good in a ninja, though maybe a demonstration is required...' she thought, and while she was thinking, she ran right into the Uchiha, to rile him up a little. "Hey! Watch where you're going! I'm an Uchiha!" He said, and Natsuki just stared at him blankly for a bit before saying "I could file you for insubordination for that remark, genin. However, if you apologize, I might let it slide." She said in a low tone, but the Uchiha just snorted. "You're my age! You couldn't be anything more than a genin too!" He said pompously. Natsuki signaled his sensei, who had been watching him from the shadows to make sure that he didn't get into trouble. "I apologize, Uzumaki-Namikaze-sama.

I will make sure that he learns to pay attention in the future." Kakashi said, bowing his head. Natsuki shook her head. "None of that 'sama' stuff. I may be a clan head, but I don't have the experience required to be given the full respect from my fellow jounin, however;" she said, now looking at the Uchiha, who gulped when he realized that he ran into a clan head, ", from a lowly GENIN, I might require the added 'sama' especially if they are this rude and incompetent." She said, glaring at the 'last Uchiha'. "I will take my leave, make sure that you punish him before you let him go, Hatake-san." She said with a sadistic smile, which Kakashi returned as much as his mask would allow.

/Next Day, Meadow of Peace, eh, Training Ground Eight/

It was seven o'clock, and Ino, Shikamaru and Hitatsu were waiting for their sensei. "Hey, guys! First, you have all eaten right?" Natsuki asked, and the genin nodded.

"Good! Now, for training today, you will do at least six laps of Konoha, if you can do more, good on you, I will allow you to rest for a minute each lap above six you do, and after the laps, you will do fifty push-ups and sit-ups and eighty jumping-jacks. You start, NOW!" Natsuki said, and the Genini bolted into action, sprinting to Konohas border.

"Eh? Shouldn't they start out slowly to conserve energy?" she asked with her finger on her chin in thought."Oh well, they'll find that out later. Now, for my pokky~!" she decided, hearts in her eyes as she took out a box of pokky, and stuck one in her mouth, moaning with pleasure at the heavenly taste.

An hour later, Natsuki heard huffing and puffing, so she turned to see the sight of her genin, trudging over to her slowly, exausted from their run. "Hey guys! How was the jog? You know that you should have started out slower since this is your first time, right?" she asked, happily muching on a stick of pokky. Ino and Shikamaru gave her blank looks and dropped to the ground. She shrugged, "Pokky?" she asked Hitatsu, who was still standing there tired, and he accepted with a small smile.

/six days later, Field of Punishment, er, uh, Training Ground Eight Again/

For the next few days, the genin were run ragged with Natsuki's training, and after the first day, Natsuki trained with them, though in the time it took them to do six laps, she had already done six-hundred, so they gained a new respect for their new sensei, and decided to never piss her off, especially after the Uchiha came one day, and thought it would be a smart idea to take her pokky...lets just say that he will be in the hospital for a couple months, and there is a smaller chance of him reviving his clan.

"Ok, now we have been training for a while, and while you guys are definitely not ready for a mission out of the city, I think you are ready for D-rank missions." She said, Ino cheered, but Shikamaru and Hitatsu were worried about the sadistic gleam in their senseis eyes. It was the same one she had gotten on the third day, when she had introduced them to 'dodge practice' which was basically her throwing blunted kunai at them for half an hour straight, and with them unable to leave the clearing.

"So, are you ready for some D-ranks?" Natsuki asked. Ino nodded egarly, and Shikamaru and Hitatsu did so more reluctantly. "Ok! Lets go to the Hokage tower!" Natsuki said, leading them there.

/Still a Senior Living Apartment, er, Hokage Tower/

"Hey, old man! Team eight reporting for D-rank missions!" Natsuki said. "Ah, Natsuki, yes we have some tor, ah, D-ranks here." Hiruzen said, making Shikamaru and Hitatsu even more nervous. "Here, you choose them." Hiruzen said, a bright twinkle in his eyes, and Natsuki smirked, finally clueing in Ino that this might not have been a good idea. "Hmm, I think that we will take the Tora, babysitting the Damiyo's grandson, and getting your groceries." Natsuki said.

"Ah, thank-you. Most people think that that one is a joke, but I really do need more groceries." He said, and Natsuki smiled at him, before leading the genin out. "Good luck!" Hiruzen said, a twinkle in his eye as he made a shadow clone and left it to do his paperwork as he followed them to watch the show.
