Yamatoe looked at his team. Kaida was sucking her thumb studying Zakuro. Keiji was also starring at the new girl Zaki, a dumbfounded expression on his face. A concentrating on each of her features .
"So today we will just introduce everyone, get to know each other better," He told the Gennin. They all stared at him waiting for him to start. "Hello my name is Yamatoe sensei I am an anbu ninja that likes bath houses and hates jelly beans," He had no idea why he picked out those particular things but he did.
"I hate jelly beans too!" Kaida said in agreement. "But Yo loves them. He eats them all the time. But they get stuck in his fur. Then Mommy has to wash him. And Yo HATES getting washed. So he has stopped eating them for now. Even thought he likes them soo much. Its really sad." The 8 year old informed.
Yamatoe silently hoped this was all a joke. That these were hired actors by Kakashi or somebody else. But nobody came screaming out of the Bushes to yell that he had been punked. "Let's say our goals in life shall we? My goal is to train you guys into becoming the best ninja you can possibly be!" He said with overly happiness and forced emotion.
"Wow did you come up with that one all by yourself?" Zaki scoffed. She sat down on the ground and all the rest of them fallowed. Kaida seemed to want to go first. For her hand was in the air as though she wanted to be called on. If she wasn't careful her arm would be dislocated. He nodded at her to go.
"I want to be a great ninja! And bring respect and hope back to the Mitsu clan!" She squealed hugging her teddy bear closer to her chest. "Somebody else's turn now!" The girl turned to Keiji Inviting him to continue the conversation.
"My goal is to learn how to control myself in a fight," He admitted. His speech was slow deliberate and controlled forced carefully thought out. He seemed very challenged in the speech department. His golden eyes showed with a hard thought in his head.
"That's very noble of you a ninja who can't control himself is a danger on any type of missions" Yamatoe told the boy to comfort him. Though Yamatoe couldn't picture the slow deliberate boy out of control. "Zakuro I mean Zaki what's your goal?"
"Dude I don't have one, I just kind of skate by you know?" She said making her arm move in a smooth straight line in front of her. Her arm went out to her side and her eyes followed it. She looked at the line her arm made and what her fingers were pointing at. It was the Hokage mountain. Right at Lady Tsunada's head. The girl just stared at it contemplatively for awhile before speaking her mind. "How many heads do you think we could fit on that rock?"
"I've always wondered that too!" Kaida stepped in starring at the memorial. A humph of agreement came from Keiji and they all stared at the 5 heads in silence.
"We should all get going," He told the three children they nodded in agreement and separated their different ways. After they had all left he striped himself of the fake smile.
He couldn't believe in his horrible luck. These kids were never going to make it. And he sure as hell couldn't teach them. He was going to yell at Iruka and Tsunada.
