"Do you honestly believe Yuno should begin new missions?" Tobirama entered after being summoned to the Hokage's office and carrying the letter.

"I believe her return to the field will be beneficial," Hashirama grinned widely.

"I don't think it's a smart idea, though, in light of what she had told us," Tobirama stated as he set the letter on the desk.

'Tobirama, Yuno won't be going into battle right away," Hashirama answered.

"She won't be able to manage that right away, as you and I both know."

"But for the time being, she is able to at least mentor our newer generation of shinobi."

"She will now serve as Team 3's sensei as of today."

"They're our final team to be assembled with and they are currently behind everyone else in their academy class."

"Who are they?" Tobirama wondered.

Hashirama set three photographs in front of Tobirama for him to look at.

He pointed at each image of "Yuki Futuba, Ichiro Sarutobi, and Haru Uchiha."

"Hashirama Are you certain about this team; each of these shinobi in the academy had a distinct grades and level of proficiency," Tobirama furrowed brows.

"Besides that Ichiro and Haru, I've heard they're not quite friendly with each other"

"There isn't much information about Yuki other than the fact that she is Masako's daughter."

"Tobirama There is no need to be concerned; I combined these three for a reason. Additionally, there wasn't really any other option. Yuki was hurt and put on leave for medical reasons."

"The final three recently graduated individuals were not assigned to a team because Ichiro and Haru were occupied with personal family matters."

Tobirama is instructed by Hashirama to go to each home and tell everyone to assemble in the office.

...

To inform the three shinobis to assemble at the hokages' headquarters, Tobirama himself went to their homes as Hashirama had requested.

Ichiro Sarutobi was first on the list. There were various different family names and clans in the village, each with a specific territory.

Tobirama arrived at a metal gate bearing the inscription "Sarutobi." He pushed open the gate and entered. Tobirama finally arrived at a residence after some hours spent walking.

It was decently sized. Tobirama approached the brown wooden door and started to knock. A tall woman opened the door after the door had been locked for perhaps a minute or so.

She had a sloppy bun in her brown hair and was wearing an apron. She quickly bowed when she spotted Tobirama when her face brightened up.

"Oh Lord Tobirama." "What can I do for you?" she asked.

"You can omit the lord part," he replied. "Lord First asked me to accompany Ichiro Sarutobi to the hokage's office," Tobirama responded.

The woman cocked her head to the side and nodded. "Ichiro came here and put on your shoes!

"I don't want too!" A voice shouted back.

"Ichiro I won't be asking you again Come on over!" The woman shouted more loudly.

"All right, all right," Ichiro replied, sluggishly making his way to the entrance.

"Mom, what now?" he complained.

"Don't be rude. When Tobirama sama arrived, he said that Lord First had asked to talk with you"

When the boy saw Tobirama in the doorway, he shot his head up. Ichiro's mother simply grinned, nudged him out the door, and gave him his shoes.

She remarked, "Be safe, okay."

"Also, Tobirama You have my permission to smack some sense into him if he doesn't behave," she glares at Ichiro.

"Hey!" Ichiro Yelled

She waved goodbye before closing the door.

Ichiro and Tobirama moved on to the next person's home after Ichiro put his shoes on both of his feet.

...

"Where are we headed next?" Ichiro grumbled while leaning his arms against his head.

"We are going to obtain the other two. Lord First stated that he desired to speak with," Tobirama said

"The other two are who?" Ichiro asked

"I'll show you when we get them," Tobirama answered back.

"Fine."

Finally, Tobirama and Ichiro arrived at the second home. It was a modest home that appeared adequate for two people.

There was a front metal gate and a path leading to the front entrance. The door was black with a metal handle when Tobirama and Ichiro entered through the gate.

Tobirmam seized the doorknob and knocked on it. Immediately after, there were some footsteps, and a young girl opened the door.

She had blue eyes and short purple hair. She did not speak to Tobirama or Ichiro as she stood at the entrance, only staring at them.

Tobirama lowered his gaze. "Yuki Futuba?" He asked.

She merely gave a simple "yes" nod. He questioned, "Is your mother home?"

She continued to shake her head silently. "Does she speak?" Ichiro shuddered.

Yuki then turned to face him after hearing his remark. then merely turned to face Tobirama.

"Come along with us; I'll leave Masako a message; I'm sure she won't mind," Tobirama explained, "Lord First has asked to speak with you at his office."

Afterwards, after closing the door, Yuki just reached for her shoes near the door, put them on, and followed them outside.

...

The three of them finally arrived to Yuno and Haru's house. When they arrived at the house, Yuno was already outside drying some damp clothing.

"Yuno!?" Tobirama called out

She looked up and noticed the three of them. She walked over after grinning and setting down her basket.

"Dear Tobirama," She asked, "What can I do for you?"

"Haru's home?' he enquired.

Yes she nodded. "He's inside. I'll go get him for you."

Ichiro was irritated to learn that Haru was the final person they went to pick up.

After waiting for two minutes, Haru and Yuno went outside and approached the group.

Hallo, Tobirama He replied, "What are you doing here?" as his eyes met Ichiro's.

"It's not like I wanted to see you either," Ichiro retorted.

Yuki simply gazed between the two. When Haru's eyes landed on Yuki, his glare softened. He said, "Hey, you're that girl."

Everyone turned to gaze at Yuki and Haru. She did nothing except study the ground. He grinned, "I'm delighted to see you're much better."

She didn't say anything after that and turned away. Tobirama sighed "in any case. We are coming to bring you to Haru Lord's office because he first asked to speak with you there."

"Okay," Haru said. He bid his mother farewell, but it wasn't as he usually did. They haven't actually talked to each other much since what happened a few days ago.

Yuno returned to hanging the clothes up, her expression became gloomy. Haru walked with his head down and his hands in his pockets the entire way to the Hokages office.

The four of them entered the office after finally arriving. As everyone entered the room, Hashirama raised his head from his desk.

"You've finally arrived," he smiled as he got up from his seat.

"Please explain our purpose for being here," Ichiro raised a fuss. Then Haru punched his shoulder to get him to stop talking.

"Ow", he said, rubbing his arm.

Hashirama and Tobirama sighed in unison. "Since you three are the only ones without a team since leaving the academy, I have requested you to come," said Hashirama.

"I hereby declare. Yuki Futuba, Haru Uchiha, and Ichiro Sarutobi to be Team 3 and to begin training together immediately."
