I do not own Naruto or Megaman Zero.
Chapter 4: Team Placements
Naruto walked into the classroom the next day well rested and fully prepared for anything. He was right on time it seemed. Looking over at Sasuke, he scoffed at the boy's glare, causing the Uchiha to grit his teeth, that or he was constipated. Ignoring the Uchiha, he took a seat next to his girlfriend, Azura Leviathan. He had met her and a couple others while training in his base, having been caught in one of his traps. After hearing the reason for their presence, he decided to allow them to train with him. He told Azura about the Guardians of Neo Arcadia and she quickly became enamored with 'Fairy Leviathan', hence her last name. He even repaired the Blade Trident that the water Guardian used so she could use it, keeping it attached to her back with chakra. Standing at a solid 5'2'', Azura has waist-length blue hair and wore a blue, sleeveless battle kimono with a fishnet shirt beneath it and gray form-fitting pants. She had on light blue shinobi sandals and wore her headband on her left wrist like a bracelet. Her eyes were a bright orange.
As they made small talk, 3 other students walked over to them and sat down. Naruto greeted them with a smile.
The first one stood at 5'5'' and wore a black, short-sleeved shirt under an opened, dark red jacket with bright yellow stripes on the sides. He had on black, ANBU-style pants and white shinobi sandals. He had bright orange hair and yellow eyes that spoke of mischief. Strapped to his hips were two holsters containing smaller versions of the fire Guardian 'Fighting Fafnir's busters. His headband was around his forehead. This was Ryujinki Izunagi, or Ryu for short.
The second was a bit taller than Naruto at 6'. He wore a light green, long-sleeved shirt and black shorts with a green stripe that went down the left side. He had on green shinobi sandals and black, finger-less gloves. His hair was shoulder-length in the back and completely black with the exception of chest-length, green bangs framing his face. His piercing silver-white eyes held stern look that made him seem older than he actually was. Sealed in storage seals on his wrists were the Storm Blades of 'Sage Harpuia'. This is Arashi Hyuuga, though due to his resemblance to the lightning Guardian, he was unfortunately nicknamed 'Harpy' by Azura. His headband was stitched into his right sleeve, revealing the Caged-Bird Seal on his forehead that marked him as a branch family member. At one point, he was ashamed of it, but Naruto reminded him of his uncle Hizashi Hyuuga and he realized that the opinions of a couple of elders shouldn't stop him from getting strong. His uncle got strong, so he would too.
The third one stood at 5'6'' and had an enigmatic air about him. He wore a dark purple jacket over a black, short-sleeved shirt and a 3' long blood-red scarf. He had black, ANBU-style pants and white shinobi sandals. He has pitch black hair and had numerous seals on his body with thousands of every kind of throwing weapon imaginable sealed within them. Kunais, shurikens, throwing knives, smoke bombs, you name it, he's got it. His eyes though, are what captures one's attention. Two fully matured Sharingan. He is Kagura Uchiha, the only other survivor of the Uchiha Massacre. He had been helping Naruto and the others with setting up the generator to power the old Resistance base when it happened. By sheer luck, he arrived after Itachi left. Needless to say, the trauma from seeing the carnage caused his dojutsu to stay constantly active. Being 2 years older than Sasuke, he is the clan head, preventing Sasuke from making any decisions on clan matters. Good thing too, as his cousin would have made some very poor decisions due to his arrogance, something that irks Kagura to no end.
A few minutes later, Iruka walked into the room. He had just come from a rather interesting meeting with the Hokage and Jonin-senseis.
(Flashback Start)
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared impassively at the jonin gathered in front of him. "Alright, put forth your requests for genin assignments." he said.
Asuma Sarutobi stepped up, "I request Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and Ino Yamanaka."
"Granted." Hiruzen replied.
Kurenai Yuhi went next, "I request Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuuga."
"Denied. Your team will consist of Sakura Haruno, Shino Aburame, and Kiba Inuzuka."
"Why?"
The Hokage sighed, "Hinata is well known to have a sibling-like relationship with Naruto. It is also well known that Kiba is infatuated with her. The problem is that the Inuzuka boy is too much of a lecher and pervert to see that Hinata has no interest in him. Team relations would go down the drain. You won't always be there to stop him, so if he tries something, and Naruto gets his hands on him, we'd never find the Inuzuka's body." Kurenai gulped. Yep, that would be bad.
Kakashi stepped forward, "I request Hinata Hyuuga, Kagura Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki."
"I would have thought you'd take Sasuke instead, so why Kagura?" The Hokage asked.
"My primary control exercises are for implanted Dojutsu and because Kagura isn't able to turn off his own Sharingan, the exercises would be more effective with him rather than Sasuke." Kakashi explained, "Naruto is also friends with Kagura and Hinata, so teamwork won't be an issue. Sasuke however, hates both Naruto and Kagura. The former out of his superiority and inferiority complexes, while the latter is for preventing the council from handing him things rather than earning them. The boy's attitude would create a toxic atmosphere if placed with either of them." The Hokage nodded. It was sound logic.
Yamato, formerly the ANBU Tenzo, went next, "I request Arashi Hyuuga, Azura Leviathan, and Ryujinki Izunagi."
"Granted."
As Iruka walked out with the team roster, he wondered how they would react.
(Flashback End)
Sure enough, the reactions ranged from indifference(Kagura, Shino, Naruto and Arashi) to outrage(Sakura, Ino, Kiba, and the other fangirls). As he left the room, he wondered what the future will bring.

Side Story: Why Itachi Killed Shisui and his Clan
It was a beautiful night in the leaf. The skys were clear, stas were shining, and shinobi were on the ground twitching...wait, what?
This was the scene that 13 year old Itachi Uchiha stumbled upon when he entered the clan housing district. He walked over to one of them and heard him mummbling about crazy Uchihas. He then bolted to the compound.
Upon entering the compound, he came across a horrifying sight. Everyone in his clan was wearing green spandex and orange leg warmers. It was like Might Guy suddenly started cloning himself. Just as Itachi was beginning to calm his nerves, lest he end up like those poor shinobi outside, the worst case scenario happened.
"AH, ITACHI! COME AND LET US SHOW THE POWER OF YOUTH!" his father, Fugaku shouted.
Itachi's eyes widened in horror. His parents were dressed the same and his father was spouting that youth nonsense! He tried dispelling what he believed to be an insane shinobi's genjutsu.
"WE MUST SPREAD OUR FLAMES OF YOUTH!" his mother, Mikoto, repied.
He tried again.
"IF I CAN NOT I WILL DO 80,000 LAPS AROUND THE COMPOUND!" To his horror, it was his best friend, Shisui, who yelled that.
He tried even harder.
"FUGAKU!"
He used all of his remaining chakra in one sharp burst.
"SHISUI!"
Que extra violent eye twitching. This couldn't be happening!
"FUGAKU!"
Eye twitching gets more violent. This couldn't be real!
"SHISUI!"
Both eyes were now twitching dangerously. It just can't be!
"YOOOOOOOUUUUUTTTTHHHHHH!"
The two men from each Uchiha family pulled each other into a hug, sheding tears as waves crashed in the background.
"I CAN'T LET THIS CONTINUE!" Itachi roared, horrified with his clan. He had to put an end to this madness!
Three hours later, as Itachi was fleeing the village he began to feel like he forgot something, only to realize with horror that he forgot to destroy the outfits to save his clan some dignity. He would later learn from Sasori that the ANBU black ops had found Naruto comforting Kagura, who was curled up in a corner with his Sharingan permanently active, likely from seeing his parents in the outfits, while Sasuke was unconscious and drooling in the streets from his Tsukuyomi.
Thus the Uchiha Massacre came to be, with the only ones knowing the truth being Itachi, Hiruzen, Naruto and Kagura.
