"Hey Minako-sensei, it looks like you didn't need the whipped cream and chocolate sauce to help Iruka-sensei," called out Naruto as the latter stepped into the classroom causing the teacher to stiffen.

"What did you just say?" growled Iruka with one of his brows twitching.

"Nothing, he didn't say anything," called out Minako glaring at the blonde boy.

"I should have known." Iruka sighed looking at the woman sitting on top of his desk. "What have you been teaching them?"

"Honestly? Nothing at all."

Iruka smirked and rolled his eyes before turning to the rest of the class. "As of today, you are all Ninjas, to get here you all faced difficult trials and hardships but that's nothing, what comes next will be far more difficult. Now you're only Genin first level Ninjas – all the Genin will be grouped into three man squads, each squad will be lead by a Jonin an elite Ninja."

"Well someone's going to have to be in Sasuke's group, I wonder who?" whispered the blonde girl in the back who was arguing with Sakura earlier.

"I don't know," replied the pink girl as she turned around and glared at her. This caused Minako to look up at them and smirk. 'Of course, girls their age only really care about boys.'

"We want each squad to have a balance of strength and abilities…" continued Iruka in which Minako droned out and began to read her copy of Icha Icha Paradise again.

It seemed like ages until Iruka said something of interest to Minako. "… Squad Seven, Naruto Uzumaki –

As the boys name was called out Minako looked up from her book to the kid and smirk as she placed her book down on the desk beside her. "… Sakura Haruno…"

"YEA," screamed Naruto as Sakura slumped down in her seat but the tables were turned as the last name was called.

"And Sasuke Uchiha."

'Interesting squad, the top two students paired with the dead last, definitely balanced,' chuckled Minako as she eyed the three members of Squad Seven. 'Now, all that's left is to stay and find out who their Jonin teacher is.'

"Now Squad Eight, Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame."

'Another interesting squad, no doubt they'll be one of the groups to advance to Genin.'

"…Squad Ten Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi…"

'An exact copy of their parents group, second generation of Ino-Shika-Cho, they too will pass the test.'

"Those are all the squads," finished Iruka.

"Iruka-sensei, why does great ninja like me have to be in the same group with a slug like Sasuke!" cried out Naruto as he stood up and pointed to the boy to his left.

"Sasuke had the best scores of all the graduating students. Naruto… you had the worst scores. To create a balanced group we placed the best student with the worst student," explained Iruka as his patience wore thin.

This caused a commotion within the newly formed squad but when Minako spoke up, everything went quiet. "Tch – you call yourself a great ninja? You're only a Genin, kid and don't forget - I was there when you took the exam, technically you failed. And you Mr. I'm-better- than-everyone I've been there, done that and got the t-shirt I use to think exactly like you kid but that isn't the case, you won't get stronger on your own! And you Pinkie need to stop thinking about boys and start thinking about your work as a Shinobi! And that goes with the rest of you."

There was a pregnant pause as all the newly assigned Ninja stared at the young woman.

"Ahem." Iruka cleared his voice. "After lunch you'll met your new Jonin teachers, until then – class dismissed.

-:-

"So this is where Naruto lives," said Kakashi as he observed Naruto's apartment.

"Yes, he'll be on your team along with Sakura and Sasuke from the Uchiha clan. Good Luck you'll need it," replied the Hokage as the Jonin walked over to the table and picked up the carton of milk.

"This milk is way past its expiration date." Kakashi shook the carton. "One sip of this and he'd be running to the bathroom all day, seems like this kid is one big problem."

"You get use to it over time," explain the Hokage.

"What about the woman, Minako," asked Kakashi, his visible eye looking at the third.

"She's like a daughter or granddaughter to me. Minako is a child prodigy and an ex ANBU member like you."

"I didn't mean it that way, I knew she was a prodigy, Sensei talked about how proud he was of her constantly. What I meant was, why was she there at the Academy?"

"I asked her to be there, I want her to assess the groups, although you Jonin have the say to pass your students, if she finds something wrong with them she has the right to make them go back to the academy."

"Why?"

"I trust her opinion, that's all I can say."

"Of course sir... did you say she was an ANBU member?" asked Kakashi thinking over what the Hokage had told him.

"Yes, since she was thirteen, she chose to leave the public eye when she was offered the position and left when she was sixteen, many people believe she was gone for seven years rather than four. No one is to know about this, Kakashi, I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

-:-

"Ugh, how long are we going to have to wait around here for?" whined Naruto as he paced the front of the classroom as team seven waited for their new sensei.

"This sucks, everyone else left already even Iruka-sensei and Minako," commented Sakura.

Footsteps could be heard in the hallway getting closer with each step, soon coming to a stop outside the classroom followed by the door being slide open.

"Minako-sensei?" gasped both Naruto and Sakura as Sasuke just looked her over.

"Are you our Jonin teacher?" asked Sakura.

Minako looked surprised when she saw the kids still waiting in the classroom she would have thought they'd have met their leaders by now and left.

"No, I am not you're Sensei, and I thought I told you to stop calling me that," replied Minako narrowing her eyes at the Genin and walked further into the classroom to the desk.

"Then why are you here?" inquired Sakura, as the blonde woman had been dubbed old news by Naruto after she denied being their teacher.

"Why? Oh I forgot my book here!" replied Minako smiling waving her book in her hand before placing it into her weapons bag.

'Geeze she has some bad mood swings,' thought Sakura.

"I can't believe you kids are still here," stated the woman a she leaned against the desk with her arms crossed over her breasts.

"Neither can we," mumbled Sakura before looking at Naruto who was hanging out the door. "Naruto just sit down!"

"I don't want to," replied the boy turning to look at the pink haired girl. "How come our teacher is the only one late? I'm ready to roll Believe it! The other teams already got to meet their new teachers!"

"We know okay," replied Sakura, closing her eyes in annoyance but was disturbed when she heard noise coming from Naruto's direction. "Hey, what are you doing?"

Naruto was standing on a tool placing an eraser in between the door and the door jam. "That's what they get for being late."

"You know you shouldn't do stuff like that," stated Sakura with her hands on her hips but on the inside she was raging with excitement.

"Our teacher's a Jonin, an elite ninja, you think he'd fall for that?" commented Sasuke in a monotone voice.

"Well aren't you Little Miss Sunshine," said Minako directed towards the Uchiha as the door to the classroom began to open causing the eraser to fall on top the person's entering head.

"I got him! He totally fell got it," laughed Naruto pointing to the Jonin.

'Kakashi Hatake… interesting choice in teacher, one fact being the Uchiha's Sharingan and the other is he was Dad's student,' thought Minako as Sakura went of trying to be the teacher's pet. 'Please let something happen to her.'

"Hmm, how can I put this… my first impression of this group – you're a bunch of idiots," said Kakashi with a deep voice and a bored tone.

Minako laughed a little as she saw the three Genin sweat drop.

"What are you laughing at Minako-sensei? You could have stopped Naruto so technically you're an idiot too!" yelled Sakura upset about being laughed.

"I am not you're sensei, nor was it my responsibility to stop Naruto," explained Minako pushing away from the desk and walking towards the kids and their new sensei.

"Honorable Daughter, I didn't know you were here." Kakashi nodded his head acknowledging Minako's presence before turning back to the kids. "Now why don't we go somewhere to start our work as a team?"

"Alright! Let's go!" screamed Naruto in excitement pumping his fist into the air. "Are you coming too Minako-sensei?"

"Well, I don't know why seeing as I'm not your sensei," stated the woman irritated about still being called 'Sensei'.

As the Kunoichi was about to walk out the room she was stopped by Kakashi's hand on her should.

"Why don't you come with us, it'll give you a chance to know more about these idiots and you won't have to spy on us."

"So the Hokage told you, did he tell anyone else?"

"No… just me."

"Fine."

-:-

The newly appointed Team Seven and Minako now occupied the roof of a building decorated with several trees. Minako and Kakashi were sitting on the rail while the three Genin were now sitting on the steps.

"Alright, why don't you guys introduce yourselves one at a time!" said Kakashi after several moments of silence.

"Introduce ourselves?" asked Sakura slightly confused. "What are we suppose to say?"

"Things you like… things you hate, dreams for the future, hobbies, things like that," explained the Jonin teacher as he crossed his arms.

"Why don't you tell us stuff first, I mean before we talk, tell us about you so we can see how it's supposed to work," said Naruto looking confused about what Kakashi said.

"Me?" said Kakashi pointing to himself. "I'm Kakashi Hatake… things I like and things I hate… mm I don't feel like telling you that."

"Huh?" voiced Naruto and Sakura looking up at their teacher. Sasuke and Minako looked as if they didn't care, but then again Minako was there against her will.

"My dreams for the future… never really thought about it – as for my hobbies, I have lots of hobbies," finished Kakashi.

"That was totally useless all he really told us was his name," whispered Sakura.

"Mhmm."

"Okay, your turn –

"Hey, why doesn't Minako-sensei go seeing as your introduction was useless?" asked Naruto.

"Listen Kid, I'm not even supposed to be here." Minako glared at the young boy. "Therefore I shouldn't have to."

"Well, you are here, so you might as well," reasoned Kakashi.

Minako shifted her glare to the man beside her and then sighed. "I'm Minako Namikaze, seeing as I'm not your sensei I don't have to tell you what I like and hate, like most people I have a lot of hobbies, and I find dreams childish, yet I have them but I also have a goal."

All three children and Kakashi stared at her and blinked, she had talked so fast they almost didn't catch what had been said… almost.

"What's your goal Miss Namikaze?" asked Sakura.

"My goal?" repeated Minako surprised by the sudden question. "It's to be Hokage one day."

They were all surprised at statement, especially Kakashi. Although Minato had told his team his daughter wished to be Hokage one day, and even surpass him, but Kakashi didn't think she'd still have that dream after all this time.

"I want to be Hokage, to carry on my father's wish to protect the people of this village and those I care about. My father saw everyone in the village as a part of his family, and gave his life to protect them, it's a noble thing to do and now that I'm older it's easier for me to understand."

"That's a beautiful dream, Miss Namikaze," commented Sakura.

"Mhm."

"Alright, your turn, you on the right, you first," said Kakashi even though he was still looking at Minako.

"Believe it, I'm Naruto Uzumaki," started Naruto as he adjusted his forehead protector. "I like Instant Ramen in a cup and I really like the Ramen Iruka-sensei got me at the Ichiraku Noodle shop but I hate the three minutes you have to wait after you poor the water in the ramen cup. My hobby is eating different kind of Ramen and comparing them. And my future dream is to be the Greatest Hokage, and then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody, somebody important."

'He definitely has Mom and Dad's outgoing personalities.'

'Well… he's grown up in a very interesting way.'

"Naruto, that's a stupid dream, it's never going to happen," scowled Sakura. "Right Sasuke?"

"Uhm Ouch?" whispered Minako, earning a chuckle from the man beside her.

"Next."

"I'm Sakura Haruno, What I like… I mean the person I like…" giggled the pink haired girl looking at the boy beside her. "Uh… my hobby is…. mmm…. My dream for the future…."

"All I get from that is she likes to squeal a lot and it has something to do with the Uchiha…" mumbled Minako to Kakashi.

"And… what do you hate?" asked the silver haired man.

"Naruto," screamed Sakura as a reply.

"Last one."

"My name… is Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke started out slowly in a monotone voice. "I hate a lot of things and I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream because I will make it a reality I'm going to restore my clan and destroy a certain someone."

'I hope he doesn't mean me…'

'Sasuke is soo hot.'

'Just as I thought.'

"Good, you're each unique and have your own ideas, we'll have our first mission tomorrow," said Kakashi looking at each one of the students while Minako pouted with her arms crossed wondering why she was still there.

"What kind of mission are we going to have," called out Naruto, clearly excited about the news.

"It's a task that the four of us will to do together."

"What, what, what, what?" repeated the blonde boy.

"A survival exercise."

'Does that mean he's planning on doing the bell test?' Minako asked herself as she turned her head from the Genin with the Jonin beside her. 'If so… then they have a slim chance of passing especially since none of them get along. I doubt anyone who's been assigned to him have passed if he does the bell test. That test has been around forever, it first started with the Old man when he trained Papa Jiraiya and the Sannin.'

"Huh, Survival exercise?"

"I thought we were supposed to have a real mission not more practice. We already did this stuff at the academy, that's how we got here," called out both Sakura and Naruto.

"This is not like your previous training."

"So uh… What kind of training is it then?" asked Naruto.

Both Kakashi and Minako began to chuckle at his question, although it was completely normal they were picturing different reactions that could come from three Genin.

"Hey hold on… that's a normal question, what's so funny?" inquired Sakura.

"Haha, well I tell you the answer you're not going to like it," replied Kakashi still laughing but then got serious. "Of the twenty-seven graduates who just came here only nine will actually be accepted as Genin the other eighteen will be weeded out and sent back to the academy, in other words this is a make it or break it pass fail test and the chance you'll fail is at least sixty-six percent."

Two of the three kids displayed their surprised looks openly.

"See… didn't I tell you, you wouldn't like it?"

"That's crazy we worked hard to get here, believe it, what was that graduation test for anyway?" shouted Naruto.

"Oh that, that was just to select candidates who might become Genin, or not."

"WHAT!"

"That's how it is, I decide whether you pass or fail. Be at the designated training spot at five AM and bring your ninja gear."

All three of the pre-teens looked deep in thought, thinking what tomorrow was going to bring.

"That's it, you're dismissed," said Kakashi now facing away from the group. "Oh, tomorrow you better skip breakfast or you'll puke."

With that said Kakashi's students all left without a word, but Minako stayed behind, staring at the stop where the children once were.

"It's been awhile Princess Minako," said Kakashi acknowledging her personally for the first time.

Said Woman snorted at the title the Silver haired Jonin used for her. "I believe the last time we actually spoke to each other was when you were on that time with Uchiha and Rin, Kakashi-senpai."

"Indeed."

"The old man told you… didn't he, what I'm supposed to be doing with the Genin teams," stated Minako turning her body to look at Kakashi.

"Yes."

"Then I think you should know Asuma and Kurenai have already passed their teams today while you were off procrastinating meeting your team."

"Have they? How many teams are left?" asked Kakashi turning his head to meet the woman's gaze.

"Yours, all the others have failed," replied Minako.

"So this year they might only have six rookie Genin rather than nine."

"Exactly."

"What did you think of these kids?"

"Naruto… is interesting but of course I have a reason to be interesting in the kid. The Uchiha… his hate is going to get the best of him, he's too much like Itachi, and he'll end up with the same fate if he keeps this up too."

"And the girl?"

"She's too pink, and all that is on her mind is boys, I didn't have the time to be obsessed with boys at that age, too much work to be done." Minako broke the eye contact and looked out over Konoha. "There was really no reason for the breakfast thing was there? The training you're putting them through is to get the bells away from you, they aren't going to get sick, if anything they'll starve and be distracted most of the time."

"Well, you'll just have to find out now won't you?" replied Kakashi with a smile, his eye turning into and upside down 'u'.

"You've changed quite a bit from how my father use to describe you; you're acting a lot more like Obito."

"You speak so openly about those who have passed… in a way I envy you for that," stated Kakashi avoiding Minako's observation.

"Believe me, it still hurts to mention my Mom or Dad, but I guess I'm done avoiding it," replied Minako.

"Well, I best be going myself, I have a few things to do before tomorrow," said the older man as he bang to walk away. "It was nice meeting you again, Princess Minako; it's safe to assume I'll be seeing you sometime tomorrow?"

"Maybe. Goodbye, Kakashi-senpai," replied Minako her eyes narrowing at the title the man insisted on using.

As they turned away from each other, both parties pulled out a copy of Icha Icha Paradise and began to walk in opposite directions.
