CHAPTER TWELVE: New Team
Time: 11:00am
Date: 06/08/12 AK
Location: Second Floor of Ninja Academy (Classroom)
Everyone was waiting patiently, well almost everyone, for Iruka to finish his three hour speech about how proud he was, what the life of a ninja was like, and all that other junk.
Robert fell asleep with his eyes open again and had an anime sleep bubble coming out of his face plate; he was out about one minute into the speech. Tyler was banging his head against the desk trying to relieve the boredom. Naruto was talking to Hinata about possible techniques he could learn with the Jounin that they already knew. Everyone else was pretty much the same way.
Iruka sighed when he noticed that no one was paying attention to his speech. "Alright, if everyone doesn't want to hear me speech, I will announce the teams."
"Finally," Tyler said as he took a kunai knife from his back pouch and popped Robert's sleep bubble.
"Mozart Piano Concerto no. 23!" Robert shouted on his recent awakening.
Tyler blinked, "Piano dream again?"
Robert looked at Tyler and nodded, "Yeah, what I miss?"
"Iruka-sensei is about to announce the teams," Tyler said twirling the kunai and placing in back in his pouch.
"Ooooo…," Robert said looking at Iruka.
Robert and Tyler became instantly interested when Iruka said, "Team 7."
"Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto tore away from his conversation with Hinata and looked at Iruka. "Hyuuga Hinata," Hinata smiled brightly while Naruto cheered in approvement. "Robert," Robert smirked and gave Naruto a High-five. "And Uchiha Sasuke," all four marauders stopped celebrating and looked at Sasuke.
Sasuke saw his life flash before his eyes when he heard that he was on the same team as three of the Marauders. His head was shaking when he looked at the Marauders, wondering what horrors they had planed for him. 'Please Kami-sama, I'll take three-hundred rabid fan girls than them!' he thought desperately pleading to the Lord above.
Iruka saw the tension building between the five students and continued, "Your squad will have two instructors, Hatake Kakashi and," he paused for a couple seconds, looking at the list of Genin and their instructors. "Hmmm… the second instructor's name is smudged."
"I should have seen this coming," Robert said crossing his arms.
"Why?" Hinata asked a bit disappointed Tyler wasn't on their team.
"Because," Robert started out, "with Tyler's bloodline in combination with the Kage Bushin he could infiltrate, ambush, steal, and sabotage enemy encampments and fortresses without being detected."
"That would mean I'm on a recon team," Tyler finished Robert's explanation.
"Team 8," Iruka said getting the Marauder's attention again.
"Inuzuka Kiba," Kiba woke up from his recent nap. "Aburame Shino," Shino's gaze shifted ever so slightly toward Iruka. "Haruno Sakura," Sakura was anime crying because she wasn't on Sasuke's team and was put on a team of 'freaks' in her mind. "And Tyler."
"Good call," Robert said emotionlessly.
"Team 8 will also have two instructors," Iruka said not looking up from his list. "Those instructors are Yuhi Kurenai and Morino Ibiki."
"I'm glad I'm not on Team 8," Robert said teasingly.
"Who's Ibiki?" Naruto asked. "You never told us who he was."
"He's the ANBU Jounin interrogation specialist," Robert explained. "Any traitors, criminals, and/or spies that are captured are given to him for 'Questioning'."
"Ooooo… I get it," Naruto said before leaning over to Hinata's ear. "What do I get?" he asked making her giggle.
"Alright, alright settle down everyone," Iruka said motioning with his hands. "After lunch you will meet your Jounin instructors; until then get to know your squad mates."
Time: 12:00pm

Location: Unchanged
Everyone was waiting for their respective teams. So far Teams 2, 5 and 9 had been picked up.
Robert's mind was elsewhere. He was trying to figure out who was their second sensei was. To say the least, he was stumped. He figured out how to get the bells from Kakashi, for when the time comes, but the second sensei thing could be a problem. Robert sighed, 'More research will have to be done when I find out who the sensei is.'
Any other thoughts were cut off when the classroom door opened. Soon a girl with brown hair and eyes came through the door. She wore a pink Chinese looking shirt and had her hair up in two buns.
Iruka saw the young teenager and smiled, "Hello Tenten, can I help you with something?"
Tenten looked over at Iruka and smiled, "No, I'm just relaying a message for my parents." She quickly glanced over the new crop of Genin, her eyes stopped at Robert. 'There he is,' she thought, running up to Robert.
Robert saw Tenten running up to him and said, "Hey Tenten what's up?"
Tenten stopped next to Robert, "My dad is finished melting your claymore's blade down and managed to make two Fuma Shurikens, so you can pick them up when you can."
Robert smiled, "Thanks for the heads up. I'll come pick them up when I can. Oh, and I designed a new weapon for your dad."
Tenten nodded, "Ok I'll tell him, by the way, who's your sensei?"
"Kakashi and an Unknown," Robert replied.
"You have Kakashi-senei?" Tenten asked sweat dropping.
"Unfortunately, yes."
"Sigh… Great, that's means Gai-sensei and Lee have one more thing in common."
"Not to mention horrible taste in fashion."
Tenten laughed in agreement, "Yeah, that's true. I'll see you later," she said running to the classroom door. "Bye Iruka-sensei!"
"Bye Tenten," Iruka said back to his former student as she went out the door.
"Why did you melt the claymore down?" Tyler asked curiously.
"I've tried for several years to integrate that sword into my fighting style, but to no avail. Two Uchiha Fuma Shurikens are more my style; so I asked Tenten's dad to melt the blade down and use the metal for the blades," Robert explained leaning back in his chair.
EEEEEEEEEP!
A loud squeak was heard through out the academy, causing Tyler, Naruto, and Robert to look at Hinata.
"Wasn't me," Hinata defended herself.
"Who else could make a squeak that loud?" Tyler asked.
"It sounded more like an excited squeak to me," Robert said.
"Wonder why the person that squeaked was excited," Naruto wondered looking up at the ceiling.
The classroom door creaked open making everybody in the room look toward it. As the door fully opened, Robert and Tyler saw Iruka's jaw drop. When the person came through the door, both Robert and Tyler's minds went blank.
Inside the room was none other than the Legendary sucker herself, Tsunade, along with her assistant, Shizune, and her pet pig, Tonton. (A/C: Ha! Wasn't expecting that!)
'WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING HERE?' Robert and Tyler screamed in their minds.
"Tsunade-sama, what are you doing here?" Iruka asked a bit surprised one of the legendary Sannin was in his classroom.
"I'm here to pick-up Team 7," Tsunade said flatly, obviously not wanting to be back in Konoha.
"What about Kakashi-san?" Iruka asked.
"When he gets here, tell him we will be on the roof," Tsunade said looking over this year's Genin candidates, her eyes fixated on Robert and Tyler. 'So those are the 'SPARTANs' that Sarutobi-sensei was talking about,' she thought narrowing her eyes at them. 'They look more like walking tin-cans if you ask me.'
"Alright, Team 7 up front," she said with authority.
Robert smacked the top of his helmet with the palm of his right hand, breaking from his surprised trance. "Talk to you later, Tyler," Robert said bumping Tyler's shoulder with his. Robert soon stood up to his full height and walked down the aisle.
Tsunade and Shizune's jaws both hit the floor and stared at Robert's height. 'There is no way he's twelve!' Shizune thought looking at the black SPARTAN.
Tsunade regain her composure when Team 7 stopped in front of her. She then looked at Iruka, "Is this some kind of joke?" she asked pointing at Robert.
Iruka shook his head, "No joke, Tsunade-sama. I was just as surprised as you were when I found out he was taller than me."
Tsunade looked back at Robert, "How old are you?"
"Twelve ma'am," Robert said looking straight at her.
Tsunade was a bit intimidated when Robert was 'looking' at her. It was like staring at a faceless enemy looking straight in her soul. It pretty much cheaed her out, much like the way Orochimaru did, only this kid seemed more in control, calm, calculated, and had a certain aura around him.
"Ok," Tsunade started out. "Meet me on the roof ASAP. We are going to wait for Kakashi there."
Time: 2:22pm
Date: 06/08/12 AK
Location: Ninja Academy Rooftop
Team 7 had been waiting for Kakashi for over two hours. Robert was sitting at the base of one of the trees on the roof, trying to figure out why Tsunade was back in the village. Hinata and Naruto were doing something productive sparring. Sasuke sat in the tree across from Robert, keeping a close eye on his three new squad mates. Being a target to several of pranks would do that to a person. Shizune was staring at Robert, still trying to figure out how a twelve year old could be over two meters tall. Tsunade was on a stone bench, thinking along the same line and why she'd had to be paired up with Kakashi.
Poof!
Kakashi appeared in a puff of smoke next to Tsunade, his right hand scratching the back of his head. "Sorry I'm late, but an old lady broke her hip and I had to take her to the hospital."
Tsunade sighed, "Yeah, and Tonton can sprout wings and fly."
Kakashi blinked, "Who?"
"The pig, Kakashi-sensei," Robert said standing up.
"She's saying that she'll believe that excuse when pigs fly," Sasuke finished for Robert, jumping down from his spot in the tree and putting his hands in his pockets.
"Oh," Kakashi said processing the info and sat next to Tsunade. "Well let's get the introductions over with shall we?"
"Hinata! Naruto! Front and center!" Robert shouted at the two, sitting down in front of his two senseis on Sauske's right.
Naruto and Hinata stopped in their tracks and looked at Robert. "Coming!" Naruto shouted running up and plopped down next to Robert, with Hinata sitting next to Naruto.
"Alright, since everybody's here, who wants to go first?" Kakashi asked.
"What should we tell you?" Hinata asked.
"The normal stuff, your likes, dislikes, dreams, the normal stuff," Tsunade answered the small girl's question.
"Why don't you two go first so we know how to do it," Naruto said.
"Why don't you start Kakashi?" Tsunade asked.
"Me? I'm Hatake Kakashi, I have no desire to tell you what my like and dislikes are. As for my dreams… well I never really thought about it," Kakashi said causing the Genin of Team 7 to sweatdrop.
"That was really useful," Naruto whispered to his squad mates. "All he did was tell us his name."
"Your turn Tsunade-sama," Kakashi said looking over to her.
"My name is Tsunade and like Kakashi that's all your going to get," Tsunade said coldly.
"Yet another good source of info," Robert said sarcastically causing Hinata, Naruto, and Shizune to chuckle, while Sasuke smirked.
"Your go, porcupine," Kakashi pointed at Naruto.
Naruto's eyebrow twitched at his given nickname. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, I like to train with Hinata-chan, eating ramen when I can, and help make pranks with my fellow Marauders. I hate waiting for pranks to go off and Robert's no-touching-my-stuff policy. My dream is to become Hokage and protect this village like the fourth."
"Idiot," Tsunade said under her breath so no one could hear her.
"Ok, you next blue-goose," Kakashi said toward Hinata.
'That wasn't a very good insult,' Hinata thought before going on with her introduction. "I'm Hyuuga Hinata, I like pressing flowers, training with Naruto-kun, and well," she stopped and looked at Naruto with a light blush on her face. But she quickly turned away and continued, "I dislike those who look down on others and think they are better than everyone else, but not. My dream is to be a respectable Clan leader and maybe… (Looks at Naruto again)."
'Great, a girl that has a large crush on the dead-last,' Kakashi thought before turning to Robert. "Your turn uhhhh….," he paused for a couple seconds looking at Robert, before hanging his head in defeat. "I can't think up a good insult."
Robert smirked before going into his 'SPARTAN' introduction, "I'm Petty Officer Second Class SPARTAN-202. I like training and designing new weapons. I hate the piano, those who take the easy route for power and kill anyone who get in their way, and those who kill because of some 'religious' purpose. As for a dream… I never really thought about it."
'Never expected that,' Tsunade thought sarcastically rolling her eyes.
"Ok, your turn Chicken-butt," Kakashi said cheerfully at Sasuke, happy to be able to think up an insult.
Sasuke growled a bit before giving his introduction. "I'm Uchiha Sasuke. I don't have my likes but I have many dislikes. I don't have a dream but an ambition… the revival of my clan and to kill certain people." He then looked directly at Robert with a decent amount of killer intent.
"You're still peeved about the pink hair dye in the shampoo, aren't you?" Robert asked not phased by Sasuke's attempt.
"And the exploding toilet, the paint balls, the New Years eve incident, telling my fan club about my hiding spots and a dozen other things," Sasuke listed a few things that the Marauders had done to him.
"Alright, that's enough you two," Kakashi interrupted before things could get ugly. "Tomorrow we will have a test."
"What kind of test?" Hinata asked.
Kakashi chuckled while Tsunade explained, "A survival test with a higher than 60 percent fail rate." Tsunade would have expected the possible Genin to flitch at the high rate of failure, but they didn't.
"Show up to training area 7 around 7:00. Oh, and one more thing," Kakashi said standing up followed by Tsunade standing as well. "Don't eat breakfast or you will throw-up," he finished as he vanished behind a puff of smoke.
"Come on Shizune," Tsunade ordered as she went to the roof door followed by her assistant and pet.
Once the senseis were gone Naruto looked at Robert, "We're not going to follow that suggestion are we?"
"Nope," Robert said standing up. "We need to prepare for tomorrow, Hinata try to get about three-hundred or more marbles of the same color, as well as three crates of instant ramen."
"Hai," Hinata said as she jumped off the roof and went towards the Konoha market district.
"Naruto, try to sneak into Kakashi-sensei's apartment and take something of great value from him at night."
"You got it," Naruto said while saluting and running off to Konoha's main apartment complex.
"Sasuke," Robert started walking to the roof's door. "I need you to come with me."
"I'm not following your orders," Sasuke said standing up looking at Robert's back.
"Oh?" Robert said stopping in his tracks looking over his left shoulder. "And why is that?"
"I don't need your help to pass a survival test." Sasuke said flatly.
"Really? What do you say we test that theory?"
"In what way?"
"Easy, fight me. If you beat me in five moves then you can pass the test no sweat. But if you lose you have to follow my orders."
Damn, I'm tired. i stayed up to around 1:40 am last night typing up this chapture. I hope that you guys were suprised about Tsunade being back. As for getting rid of the claymore please send me a message for the explination. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to take a long nap.
So until next time, This is SPARTAN-251, signing off...(Click)
