Hey everyone. I will be posting weekly my leftover chapters I hadn't posted, and am currently writing up a summary of what I had planned to write but didn't have the time to write in detail. I know it's not as good as the real deal, but at least you won't be left hanging, right?

For any of you who are also following Child of the Sun, I will return to that epic when I settle things with this story. Expect more updates in two or three weeks at most.

I own neither Watchmen nor Naruto. Hiko, Michiyo, and Reika-sensei are my own.

She arrives with a flash of silver and purple, running, no flashy teleportation jutsu like they've heard all the Jounin use to impress.

"Afternoon, kiddos!" Reika Gintaki chirps, skidding to a halt in front of her prospective students. "Time to turn in your reports, and then you're dismissed. A little anticlimactic, yes, but I've got a lot of reading to do. So cough them up." The trio exchanges a few silent looks before handing Walter their copies. He shuffles them into a neat pile, and stands to hand over the sheaf of surveillance and mission reports to the Jounin.

"Thank you~!" Reika-sensei carols, taking the papers and tucking them under her arm. "Congratulations, you've just completed the equivalent of a C-class Intel mission. You will not receive any payment like you would if this were a real mission. We will meet again to discuss the results of your test at eleven sharp tomorrow morning. Same place. See you then." She shoots the three probationary Genin a thumb's up before dashing out of the clearing.

"She is in a hurry." Hiko remarks slowly.

"Maybe she's got a hot date." Michiyo says, shrugging.

"Or a television show to watch." Hiko counters.

Walter shakes his head.

"Wrong. Both of you." He points out, "Why waste time on students who haven't passed yet?"

Michiyo sighs.

"…You're probably right. Damn."

"Nice to see you all again, and on time too." Reika-sensei says a day later, waving from her seat on a training post as the rest of Team Four arrives via canopy to take their places at her feet. "I'm not going to beat around the bush. You've passed."

Michiyo punches the air with a hissed "Yessss!"

Walter allows himself a tiny, twitchy smile.

Hiko simply smirks.

"Yes, yes, well done. Now - for the debriefing." Reika-sensei says with a smile, leaning forward and crossing her legs at the knee. "Hiko; excellent use of your eyes, but did you think of using your chakra to enhance your hearing? Your Byakugan works quite well for visual surveillance, and spying on archived information. This method of investigation is excellent for discovering daily movements, hobbies, habits, and general recent behavior. However, this method relies too much on actions rather than semantics. You can't tell what has happened in the past. Try not to rely too heavily on your eyes, useful resource that they are. At some point you may have to gather information whilst undercover, and bulging veins around your disguise's eyes are a big giveaway. Your wording in the report was precise and professional. There are a few gaps in logic, but as this is your first time, I'll let it slide.

"Walter; you used an effective combination of surveillance and using your contacts and resources. Using the Ninja Library was good, the civilian libraries don't have much of anything useful ninja-wise. However, with the low-rank clearance you get as a fresh Genin, you won't find much. Going to a trusted source of information like an academy teacher was a wise decision, particularly with the reason you provided to your contact for why you required the info. The fact that you tested the accuracy of the information you received was not something I would expect out of a fresh Academy graduate. The only problem I can find is that Hiko spotted you spying on him, but then, he is a Hyuuga. Your reasoning and logic is very clear in your report, and you were very thorough in going about the mission. Your report was the most accurate match to my own information, and you will be rewarded for that. I could, however, have done without the long paragraph about sexual orientations and the sins thereof."

"Understood." Walter grunts, rather pleased with Hiko's look of dismay, and Michiyo's brief but sudden coughing fit as she fights laughter.

"I'm glad." Reika-sensei says drily. "Now - Michiyo; you are without a doubt the best people person in Team Four. You did the same as Walter in going to your old teacher for information, but you took it further by interviewing Walter's old and new neighbors, fellow classmates, heck, even random passers-by. Better - you managed to convince your target to verify and expand your information of his own will, through persuasion and incentive. Best of all, you realized that I asked you all not to spy, or keep anything undercover – all I asked was to gather information. As for the information swap you goaded Hiko and Walter into doing, I will recognize it for what your intention was – to make sure the entire team passed, and not to just be the best on the team. Your report however, linguistically, was the worst."

Here Michiyo makes a face.

"Your handwriting and grammar are atrocious. I will attempt to improve those while I am your teacher, for the sake of the poor admin-nin working in the Hokage's tower. There are multiple holes in your logic, and I don't think you accounted for all of your time during the last seven days. Despite this, the info swap was highly insightful.

"Overall, I'm impressed with you guys. There is endless room for improvement, but I think you've got what it takes to read between the lines, and keep a clear head on the front. Whew!" She grins, fanning a hand at her face as if to cool her off, "What a speech, huh?"

"Highly informative." Walter says, tilting his head just a bit. Their new teacher grins at them.

"Well, good then. This is my first time as a Jounin-sensei, so I want to do this right. You'd better live up to my expectations or there'll be hell to pay!" Reika-sensei snickers. "Got a few ideas on how to train you guys. Nothing too crazy. I'll use what worked for my sensei, Fire preserve his will, and what I think will work. I just don't know how much time I'll have with you." She straightens, her face turning serious. "I'll be straight with you. The situation with Hidden Rock is going to get worse. Much worse. I don't know if it'll be big enough to be the next Secret Ninja War, though. In anticipation of this, I have permission from the Hokage to not go on any missions out of Hidden Leaf for the next six months. This is a good thing!" Reika-sensei says with a quelling glare at her students' dismayed faces. "This means you won't be getting into a kill-or-be-killed situation, not until you're ready to handle that.

"Every minute of your day will be accounted for and put to use. Every hour you spend will have a purpose. Here's the plan: seven hours of sleep a night, one hour for general reading, and an hour for travel time. Lunch will be eaten with the team. Dinner is family time.

"We meet here, in Training Ground 16, every day at sunrise or six, whichever comes first. You will spend fourteen hours a day with me, completing a mission a day. When we are not doing missions, we will be training - in taijutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu, teamwork, information gathering, acting skills, and so on. I expect you to learn at least a little of every field. We'll start out with basics, at least knowing what the fields are and what they're for.

"I know the Academy taught you some of this, but the Academy material is as dry as bone. There is a point to everything I teach you. We will spend several hours studying the specialties you are interested in. Anything I can't teach you I will find others to teach you what you want to learn. That's what I have so far. So!" The silver-haired Jounin claps her hands together.

"Today's Monday. We meet at the appointed time here on Wednesday. You have Tuesday off. Enjoy it, because you won't have free time for a very long time. Any questions?"

"Nope." Michiyo says, and the boys add their agreements.

"Great! Who wants lunch?"

"Me!"

"I do."

"Hurm. Yes."

I hope you're enjoying my OCs. I enjoy writing them, and they all exist for a purpose.

Please, please review.
