The rest of the genins moved towards their respective team members.
Naruto approached his new teammates who were both at the back of the classroom. The redhead whose name was Gaara is glaring at the empty space of the wall while sitting away from everybody in his own secluded location. The other one, Fuu, has mint hair and is walking around the room, touching and looking at everything in wonder.
"Yo!" The green-haired genin jumped in front of Naruto when she saw him approaching. "I'm Fuu. Heard what you said earlier. Nice to meet you Uzumaki Naruto!"
"Yeah, nice to meet you too Fuu." Naruto grinned. At least this one is friendly. "So, you are from Taki, right?"
"Yup, ssu!" Fuu replied happily.
The two genin were so happy and excited that the two immediately hit it off. It helps that they seem to have similar personalities.
And then the two of them glanced at their quiet redhead teammate. "So… should we talk to him?" Fuu asked.
"I dunno. He looked like he wanted to kill us, dattebayo." Naruto muttered.
"Oh sush! He's, our teammate! Let's go talk to him!" Fuu said happily.
"Huh? What? Wait!" Naruto called as Fuu rushed towards to confront the redhead. Gaara turned his head towards the approaching genin.
"Helloooooooooo! Name's Fuu from Taki." Fuu waved her hand in front of him in a sing-song voice ignoring the glare the redhead was giving him.
"And I'm Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto greeted behind him.
"Hey, do you want to kill us?" Fuu asked earning a glare from the redhead. Naruto looked at Fuu in shock. "What happened to your eyebrows, by the way? Also, what's up with the tattoo?"
Maki, the other Suna genin, is in another row of desks near them heard what he said and almost panicked. Do not tempt him! She yelled in her head.
Gaara almost growled at the Taki-nin.
"Oi, oi, oi. You can't be like that. We are your teammates!" Naruto pouted. "He wasn't being offensive or anything. You are acting very antisocial right now. As a team, we should get along!"
"Yeah, we just wanna be friends – wait, he?" Fu turned towards Naruto. "Why'd you say he, ssu?"
"Huh, are you not?" Naruto asked confused. "Aren't you a guy? I mean, I know it's weird you are wearing a skirt and everything but I'd figured it's how guys dressed in Taki, you know. Or are you into cross-dressing or something? I am fine with guys dressing like that. To his their own, right?"
Naruto didn't even notice the growing darkening aura from the Taki genin. "I appreciate your open-mindedness, Naruto." She patted the blonde on his shoulder with a large tick on her forehead. "Except… I'M A GIRL, SSU!"
There was a scream and a deafening boom erupted from the wall beside Gaara. Gaara didn't even bat an eye as chunks of wood sprayed around him. His sand automatically protected him from the debris. The redhead glanced at the blonde with a swelling on his head and the large hole in the wall. Fuu, currently with her fist raised, glaring at the orange-clad genin. Her face is full of rage. For the first time, Gaara finds the whole ordeal amusing.
"OWW!" Naruto cried as he grabbed his head in pain. "Why did you do that, dattebayo?!"
"Did you not hear me?! I am a girl, baka!" Fu screamed angrily.
"What? You are? You don't look like one!"
"What makes you think I'm not a girl?!" Fuu yelled at Naruto.
"Because your chest is flat," Gaara said with a straight face. The entire room went silent.
Gaara-sama. Maki wanted to cry. You can't say that!
There were more shocked faces from the girls in the room than the boys. The girls were mostly shocked that Gaara was brave enough to say that. While the rest were just surprised that this weird-ass mint-haired genin was a girl.
Fuu turned her head towards the redhead. Her eyes are murderous and her teeth gnashing in anger. "I'LL KILL YOU!" She lunged towards Gaara. Sand immediately erupted from Gaara's gourd. Maki, who is the only one in the room who is aware of what Gaara is capable of hides under the desk.
But nothing happened.
Gaara's sand immediately stopped.
"LET ME GO! I'M GOING TO PUNCH THE TATTOO OFF HIS FACE!" Fuu yelled at whoever was holding her back.
"I have idiots for a team." A strong, cold, and commanding voice said. Everyone turned to the person who was holding Fuu. Even Fuu, who heard it stopped, looked up and gasped.
This man is huge! Tall, and big, and his hat almost reached the ceiling. He is heavily armored as if he is prepared for war, with light brown eyes with no eyebrows and his face covers the bottom half of his face. His presence is so strong that even Gaara is shocked to not even notice the man until now.
This man isn't ordinary. He thought. But Gaara was not happy either. His father sent him here so that he couldn't just run around on his own with his newfound freedom away from the sand. This man here is enough to subdue him. Why would he intervene unless he is their sensei? He bears the Iwagakure head protector and there was only one Iwa jounin. Gaara is strong but even he knows he is not a match for this person.
"Who-who are you?" Naruto, who is still on the floor, asked.
"I'm your sensei, gaki," Han answered.
"Eh?"
"My first impression of the three of you?" There was a pause. "You're all idiots." The three genin frowned. "Meet me at the rooftop now." And he flickered out of the room.
The three genin looked at each other before starting to move out of the classroom oblivious to the stares of the other teams. They were not happy their sensei just jumped to conclusions like that.
Han sat on one of the stairs on the rooftop. He couldn't sit on the railing. He was too tall. When his three students arrived, Naruto rushed towards the ledge and sat in front of Han with his legs crossed. Fu took the spot from his left. Gaara is on the right. Judging from the fight earlier and the aura the three are showing against each other, they are in for a rough start.
Once they settled, Han started. "As you may know, my name is Han. I'm from Iwagakure. I was assigned by this program to be your sensei." He sighed. Loudly. Indicating to the team that he didn't want to be here. "Why don't you introduce yourself?"
"Ah, how, ssu?" asked the green-haired kid.
"How?" Han crossed his arms. "Your name, where you're from, what you like or hate, hobbies, dreams probably…"
"Hey, Han-sensei?" The blonde-haired, orange-clad genin started. "Why don't you start first so we know, you know, what to say, dattebayo?"
Han stared at his student and still could not believe that the boy was dressed in orange. What kind of shinobi would dress in such a bright color? It's like a walking target.
Han sighed and crossed his arms. "Fine. My name is Han. I'm from Iwagakure. Most people know be as the nephew of the Tsuchikage (and the Gobi Jinchuuriki but they don't need to know that). What I like? Hmm…hot tea, hot springs, and a good book. I hate judgmental idiots. Hobbies? I have lots of hobbies. My dream? Never really thought about it. You…mint hair, go."
"Hai. My name is Fuu, ssu! I'm from Takigakure. I like tree houses, bugs, rice and flying, ssu! I hate being confided in one place and everyone who thinks I'm a boy! (She glared at both her teammates. Naruto immediately subtly moved away from her while Gaara continued to ignore her). My dream is to become the first Takikage and to have a hundred friends, ssu!"
"You can fly?" Han asked surprised. That wasn't in the girl's information. Not many shinobi could fly. So far, the only one he knows is the current Tsuchikage. Also, why a hundred friends?
"Yup, ssu! I have wings!" She said excitedly.
"You do?" Han looked at her in disbelief. Even Gaara who has been ignoring the situation looks at her with interest.
"I wanna see!" Naruto said excitedly.
"Not now, whiskers!" Han said earning an "awwww" from the kid. "You next!"
Naruto just frowned while rubbing his cheeks. They are not whiskers…are they? Naruto never really thought about it. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto!" He started. "I'm from Konoha. I like Iruka-sensei, Teuchi-jiji, Hokage-jiji and ramen! My favorite is the ramen served at Ichiraku. I like all kinds of ramen. I eat it almost every day! I hate the three minutes it takes to cook ramen! My hobbies are training and comparing and eating cup ramen."
Han felt his eyes twitch. Does all this kid like ramen that much? How is he not fat? Hell, how did he not die of a heart attack? No wonder he looks so small. Ramen isn't enough nourishment for any shinobi. It's a miracle he's still alive. Hell, out of the three, the two boys do not look properly cared for compared to the girl. Han was already aware of Gaara's instability and lack of sleep. The only reason the boy is still alive despite the sleep deprivation is due to the tailed beast. Tailed beasts tend to keep their hosts alive despite the animosity between host and beast.
"…And my dream is to become the greatest Hokage that ever lived so everyone will acknowledge me, dattebayo!"
"Okay…." Han sighed. So, he has two students who want to be Kage. It's not like Taki has its own Kage. They are too small to even have the capacity to compete with any of them and it will take a lot of effort just for them to recognize as Kage. He turned to the red-head. "You next."
"My name is Sabaku no Gaara. I like nothing. I dislike many things. Dreaming is meaningless."
Fuu and Naruto sweat-dropped at their teammate. Well, isn't he a regular ray of sunshine? Fuu thought.
Oh, boy. Han thought. He got the worst of us. Dammit to hell. He thought the reports were just an exaggeration but he was wrong. He's going to be the one who is going to take a lot of work. Why does he have a sudden urge to march to Suna and slap the Kazekage? Of course, if he does that, it will cause an international political incident between Suna and Iwa.
Anyway, it is time for the next phase of the assignment.
"You are not exactly a genin team yet," Han said.
"Huh, why?" Naruto asked.
"Technically, you have to pass another test to see if you are genin material. If you don't. Well, you get sent home or in the case of our resident genin, he goes back to the academy. All the international teams go through this. Hell, it is even expected that only one team will probably pass out of the four. Sucks right?"
What a ridiculous bluff. Gaara thought. What was the point of this stupid program if they were just going to eliminate most if not all the teams? No one would fall for… Gaara turned towards his teammates.
"WHAT?!" Naruto screamed. "I don't want to go back, dattebayo!"
"You can't be serious!" Fu yelled. "Just when I managed to get out of the village for once!"
Of course. Gaara wanted to roll his eyes and sigh. I should have stayed in Suna.
"We'll meet at training ground forty-four at 6 am sharp. Don't eat breakfast. Because you will puke if you do." And he flickered away.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Boruto is just weird. I mean I like the wholesome episodes with the past generations and family time but the direction the story is going is just weird. To be honest, I sometimes wonder if I am reading Dragon Ball or Boruto ahahaha.
