Chapter 5: Deciding on the genin teams
Mia's pov
Well its almost time for the genin teams set up. Oh boy I can't believe it! I never been so excited and nervous in my entire life. Though... I had to ask Sho to keep a close eye on Haku over the school days, after seeing her come back in a henge. With her henge up. I was inform and surprised that the girls at the school, teared and stole Haku's cloths, along by stealing Ino's and Hinata's spare cloths to give to Haku during their summer trip.
The poor girl was litterly broken down when she came home, with Ino and Hinata behind her. Fuming and seething, I rushed to Haku right away asking what happen. When she un-henge herself, she was standing there with just a towel on. Crying and shaking from being freezing cold.
I reported to the council about what went on in the field trip. Boy I never knew how angry, Hiashi, Inochi, Tsume could get and even the 3rd hokage were throwing off Kill intent every where and was starring down at the cilvillian side. Who surprisingly were seething in rage too? All but those who were parents, had shock looked on their faces.
When said person were asked, if they told their children to do all that to Haku and her friends. They meerly shook their heads. Me and Hiashi saw that they were telling the truth. We let out a breath of relief along with Tsume and Inochi. They even asked if they harm Haku and the others, I nodded on about Haku being harm by the girls and Sakura.
This I had to cover my ears, along with Tsume whose eyes were vibrating from the sudden shriek of "What", from miss Haruno of the head cilvillian council. Slaming her fist hard onto the counter, throwing me daggers and saying how Haku must be blind and thought she saw Sakura.
Which I inform her that Ino and Naruto were present along with me. When I said Naruto, most council were about to go into a fit of rage, but stop when I said that Ino and I were there. Then nodded to each other, asking me is this true. Which I nodded and they all glare to the parents of the girls.
Thankfully the council were being fair about this situation. Though Hiashi and Inochi tried everything to keep themselfs from jumping from their chair and hurt the people who heard. That the same girls, took Ino and Hinata's spare cloths for Haku to wear, since they teared up and ruin the cloths I gave her to the trip. My god, I had to go back and pay over 6078 Ryu. To restock her cloths. Which I was now broke once again and when things were looking good for our family.
After that ordeal from last night, everyone started apologizing to me, inochi and Hiashi. While leaving the room. Which the ninja of the council, were surprised how fast the meeting went and it un-settle us deeply. Turning my attention back to the others, we all just then let out a depressing sigh. They truly believe Haku wouldn't have a hard time, when the elders ask how this all started. I said one word, that made the war hawk Danzo leave the room. Calling me a stupid fool, okay he didn't say it out loud. Mostly mouthed it and I am very good at lip reading.
When I said Sasuke, everyone in the room must've had a huge question mark above their heads. I told them about how Haku said, that the only way she will see Sasuke. To the Sasuke fan club or in this case. Sakura, that he is a great person. Is when he will be more interactive and more nice to others. She will re-consisder her thoughts over the boy.
Which the Elders nodded to each other and told me, their trying the best they can. To get Sasuke to be more social to people. But he still refuses too, unless those who will help him with his vengence to kill his brother Itachi. Also telling me that they would never thought, that Haku will be in so much danger at and in both school and village.
Then before the hokage said anything. The Elders stood up and walk down to where I was standing, confused me a bit. When they turned around and face the ninja council. Saying how that might be a good idea. That Haku and Sasuke's interaction will be limited. When I asked why? They told me, that Sasuke Uchiha pride might get the best of him and if he ever learn about her Blood line, which then I raised both hands up and nodded.
He might get the wrong Idea and will think that everyone will be helping her out more. Since she is last of her kind. Along with Sasuke, who will probably do anything to fight her, which Sarutobi reminded everyone in the clans. That Iruka kept Haku and Sasuke away from fighting each other during the Taijutsu of the test. Consisdering how rough the boy can be with others and nearly sending them to the nurses office.
We all agree that, when the Chuunin Exams were to come. Which was about 4 months from now, that all team interaction between each other will be limited. Exception for Naruto, Haku and her friends. Which brought everyone to smile.
Even Hiashi said, that he will inform his daughter. That she can see Haku, any time she is free from both sides, while also congratulated me on becoming Jonin SENSEI!? My eyes bulged out and whip at everyone in the council, even the eldes were shaking hands with me and smiling.
Thats why they came to stand next to me. When I heard them thanking Hokage, that they will be the first to congratulate me for the job. I couldn't believe it! I was a Sensei! A SENSEI!
Now hear I stand with 3 other Sensei's, Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi and Kakashi Hatake. We were standing there, looking through all of the genins tests that were taking, while also being told about the incident with Naruto and Mizuki. I felt proud, that Naruto perform the Kage bushin no jutsu, or Shadow Clone Jutsu. To take down the traitor of the leaf. Which Iruka made Naruto pass and graduated the boy. I looked at my daughter test. She pass! I felt tears swelling up, seeing Haku manageing to pass and become a Ninja herself.
Which Kurenai and Asuma patted my back and said I must be proud. Which I nodded, while Kakashi just shrug his shoulder and said. She had outside help...Which made me glare at him. Me and Kakashi haves this hate/like relation. But I don't want to get into it, just involves our anbu days.
I've heard that he never once pass any Genin teams, through out the years, that sounds like him and knowing him. He wants a team that can get along and work like a team. I then went pass Haku's test papers, seeing her picture with a great big Smile on her face. I couldn't help but smile too and moved onto the next one. Which I accendently grab Naruto's and saw how bad his scores were and arch an eye brow. Which didn't go un-notice with Asuma, Kurenai and Kakashi. When you know me from child hood and if I ever raise an eye brow. You know that I caught sometihng wrong and out of place.
"Something wrong Mia?" Asked the hokage, which he figure I was looking at Naruto's test resaults. Which I kinda nodded a bit and inform him, how Haku and Ino explain to me, that the teachers were altering his test result. Which confuse the two Jonin sensei next to me, then eyes went wide. When I told them that Ino and Hinata explain to me, one school year.
In the throwing range, that he scored 100% out of Sasuke's 78%. Then a KI was raised causing all of us and Kakashi to back up to the wall. Seeing a fire passion behind Hokage, muttering and cursing every signle teacher...Minus Iruka, who have ever taught Naruto. That he would make sure they will get personal visits from him. Asking me if I knew anything eles, I told him that Mizuki used a Chakra infuse disturbance, to mess up Naruto and Haku's aim. When she explain to me that she sensed it and so did. Hinata and Shikamaru, along with Ino.
Then told them how I agree with the kids, that Sakura had this natual feel with Chakra. Would've sense it but ignore it. Along with Sasuke. Hokage just let out a sigh and slightly bang his head on the desk, causing all of us to sweat drop a bit. Knowing he couldn't do anything about it, but had suspicions with Iruka. That Mizuki was up to something during the exams and school.
"Any way, since our tattle tale is over." Kakashi said, making me to slouch a bit and looked down in shame. I didn't realize I was being a tattle tale. Boy, way to get my spirits down Kakashi. I could sense Kurenai and Azuma grunt a bit from his response. Knowing that was directed towards me.
"It seems, we have a very un-balance roster", this made me whip my head towards the Cyclops. He was right! Naruto and Haku were 2 new genins. Which made the balance and order thrown out the window. 12 Genins, 3 teams, and i make a 4th Sensei. So I shouldn't...be here.
"Hokage? If I may occur, that we should leave Mia to wait 1 more year. To become sensei. Since there are too many variables and Genins that pass this year. With Naruto passing last night. Made it 13 genins...Since Haku would have taken his place in getting a sensei. I would say, I want Naruto to be in my team instead of Haku.", which made me just...I don't know what to do...I could just Picture Haku sitting at her desk. Waiting and waiting for her sensei to come, but to be disappointed and the sensei to never come. But knowing her she wouldn't mind waiting one more year. She even told me, before I left this morning. She told me, if she doesnt get a sensei. She can wait one more year for other students to graduate.
"Well...I could teach Naruto more efficiant than you Kakashi", I mutter under my breath. While clasping it close. Realizing that everyone heard me. Including Kakashi who was glareing at me. But Hokage was boasting in laughter, making all of us to slowly look towards the man.
"Oh my, Mia! That was just perfect and a great idea if I may add", this brought all of us even more confused. Making me wonder what he meant.
"Um Hokage?" Kakashi asked slowly. Which Sarutobi wave his hand a bit.
"Oh come now Kakashi and you three. If you think about it? Mia here, out of all 3 of you beside Kakashi of course. Knows the Shadow Clone techniqe and can probably teach Naruto and help him perfect that Jutsu. Since she can make 30 of them, while Naruto can make 100", which made all of us, even Kakashi, to nod at this infomation. He was right. If Naruto were to be on my team, I can help the boy learn the ways and secret of the jutsu. Along with figuring out what element Chakra he is. And if my judgement right, also knowing who his parents are. He was probably a wind/water type Ninja.
I could help him greatly to learn wind Jutsu and Water Jutsu. Heck even Asuma could teach Naruto wind jutsus. Oh wow, the possibillity I can help Naruto with his ninja career...But that leaves Haku also. I can teach her greatly too, her being a Water/Wind user too. Plus her blood line...Which I gotta figure out what it does...
"Well as may that be true Hokage. I should really take Naruto in my team, since I know how to help the boy more..."Efficiantly", he said with a leer towards me. Making me feel incompatent, that I won't be able to handle Naruto. "That and I doubt, Mia will be able to keep up with him...Consisdering she couldn't follow orders and capture the boy. When he painted the Hokage mountain."
Eesh...Okay he got me there...I definatly wouldn't keep up with the boy. Especially with that Stamina of his. Though the part about not catching him? Iruka haves better sense of where he is than I do. That and he never did anything bad to me so why would I help them? Selfish I know...I just like watching Naruto's skill of never being caught by Chuunin, Jonins and Anbus. That give them a good chase and probably without Naruto's help. They wouldn't be as fast as they are now.
Letting out a sigh. The Hokage just shook his head and wonder what he should do, "Kakashi, I know your mentor would want him in your team. But if Naruto and Haku were to switch places. It will still make one of the two left out for Ninja career", he said honestly which. Made everyone nodded in the room. Even me...So I just went back to looking at the papers.
Ino Yamanaka. B average Student, good at her family clan jutsu. While being proficiant at Poisen and iinfomation how to take care of those easily and use them for her advantage during a Ninja test battle.
Yup, definatly her fathers daughter. Though surprise that she is excellent at Poisens. So that was a shocker and her knowledge about them. Which I remember her helping and curing Haku and Hinata's injuries during the field trip. When Haku and Hinata both trip over a vine, that had poisen in them. Ino quickly took out one of the senbons, that I told Haku to carry for Medical purposes and pull out the poisen out of their legs.
By sticking the needle into their skin and using chakra to pull it out with it. Then quickly using a diffrent poisen and mix it with that one. Analyse the counter effects, then quickly grab some herbs and berries that were to cure it.
Looking at my other papers for Senseis and Students lists
Sensei Asuma, Students. Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akamichi and Ino Yamanaka.
Sensei Kurenai. Students. Hyuuga Hinata, Kiba Inazuka and Shino Abruame
Sensei Kakashi. Students. Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Haku Hyuuga
Sensei Mia. Students. Naruto Uzumaki, ???, ???
Which I sadden at the resaults. Even if I do get Naruto on my team, he would have to wait till we could accept missions. Especially since we have to wait a whole Year to get started. I looked down in defeat and shook my head. Rubbing my blue hair in frustraition, I can see the grin on Kakashi face in that book of his. But when he look at me, it was a leer grin. He knew I wasn't going to be a sensei any time soon...Why did I bother to keep this dream of mine...I should just give up...give up...
* Flashback*
"Hey if you want to be a Sensei! Then Never give up!" Shouted the young boy. Who I met at Ichirakus this morning. With the smell of ramen and people walking out in the streets. Congratulating me and Naruto. For becoming a Sensei and a Genin ninja, which made us blush and thank them.
"I know Naruto...But since you pass and Haku pass. That makes a odd number of 13 Genins...", I said slowly eating my Ramen with a down looked. While Teuchi just washed something in his hands, that were bowls. Keeping his attention on our conversation. I felt Naruto pat my back and made me smiled brightly when he said to me...
"Well...If you become my Sensei...I will wait till a year for us to get more team members. Besides! I heard you know the Shadow clone jutsu like me! Then you and me can practice. All year, to get ready for those 2 team members and show how realiable we are!" He proclaim, making every one to clap a bit and smile at the boy in the resturant. I laugh and nodded.
"Your right Naruto! Just because we won't being accepting missions. We can always practice and
train each other. I can do the same if Haku were on my team." I said with full confedince now, excited more than ever to get ready.
"YEAH! WATCH OUT WORLD! TEAM MIA WILL BE READY FOR YA!" The boy shouted, while standing on his stool. Shouting out to the villager making everyone there at Ichiraku to smile and Teuchi turning around.
"You tell them Naruto. Mia show the world, that even dreams can come true!" He said, with Ayame coming out with Narutos 5th bowl and nodded to me.
*Flashback end*
I shook my head and remember Naruto's words. I shouldn't give up because of a certain deilemma. Showing with new confidence that surprised everyone in the room. Minus Hokage. I step up and said, if I have to wait a whole year. Then I can wait and train my students either way, even if we don't do missions or entering the Chuunin exams. I will get that student prepare and help me train the 2 new genin teams.
Hokage, Kurenai, Asuma and Kakashi all clap at that. Making me smile a bit and bow to the Hokage. Then Asuma stop in mid clap, quickly looking at his paper. Causing Kurenai to look at him.
"What is it Asuma?", I heard her asked, with the man walking up next to me and infront of the Hokage desk.
"Hey Mia? How much do you know about Yamanakas?" He asked me with a smile. Knowing that ciguratte was light and he was smoking it. He was a exception just like the Hokage, since it helps Asuma think and help with his fire jutsu. I looked up in thought and awnser honestly.
"Well, besides being team up with Inochi? I have medium knowledge about them. Why?" I asked, with confusion. Sensing Kakashi KI increse a bit, probably knowing something is up. Then drop it when Hokage leer at him and then back to Asuma.
"Asuma?", he asked slowly, which the man chuckle and turn to the Hokage,
"Hokage-sama, I believe Mia and I will be able to perform this right. Make Haku and Ino in Mia's team", then quickly raise his hands before anyone could object. Saying that it will only make both teams un-available to perform missions. "Now hear me out...Hokage-sama? Why do we always get a 3 man genin cell?" he asked, with a smirk and resting his hand under his chin. I heard the Hokage reply, that so they will move and hide themselfs without being in a big group. Then i saw Hokage widen his eyes and started caculating in his head and went into a boast full laughter.
Causing Asuma to laugh to and me to just move my head to the Hokage and Asuma, then Hokage nodding his head.
"Well Asuma, seems like you found a loop hole in this. Care to explain why switch ino?" He asked Asume carefully, which the man blew out some smoke, out the window. Then turning back to the hokage.
"Well? Haku and Ino are very close friends. I figure, why not have those two team up together? They might work well and Ino will probably, get annoyed by Choji's and Shikamarus antics", then whisper about also. Being the only girl on the group. Which Kakashi this point. Step up and wanted to address something. I knew this wouldn't be good.
"Hokage if I do may so ask...This will ruin the formation an-", then Hokage slam his hand on the desk. Causing everyone to jump a bit. I look at the man. Wondering what he was going to say?
"Kakashi. I don't know what your deal is. With preventing Mia from being Sensei. But I assure you, that a 3 man cell. Is conjure up by having 3 ninjas. Working together and helping each other out. While I may know our system, is sappouse to be a 4 man cell. With the sensei making up the 4th member. I seem to recall, the sensei not being under any juridistiction. Of being a 3rd man...", I saw him smile at the end and leaning against his chair. Playing the loop hole quite well.
I saw the cyclops just stood there flabbergausted. While ready to protest again, I got angry and slam my own hand on the desk. Which made the Hokage chuckle a bit, oh you were ready for me to get in the action werent you old man? Heh...Well played.
"KAKASHI! Just shut the heck up and be happy. That you even have Naruto! In your precious list of genins!" Okay I could've said that without yelling. But my rage just won't let go, I need to put him in his place. "Even though I would prefer Naruto in my team. I remember that Sakura was in your list. Thus making things un-comfortable with Haku in that group", I announced, which the Hokage facepalm his own face. saying out loud, he totoally forgot about those school incidents.
Which I saw Kurenai leer a bit. From the word Sakura came into play. She remember over hearing things about what the girl did to Haku. When she was eating with Anko, the two heard some school girls saying. How their plan to make Haku life a living nightmare for school. Made the two take action and dicipline those girls. While stopping them from harming Haku any more.
I also remember her, coming to my house and told me that. Haku won't have to fear about going to school for Graduation. Anko taught them straight, which I shudder.
Hearing Hokage clear his throat and new papers were giving to me and Asuma. "Well then, I hope you two will become great Senseis, including you Kakashi and Kurenai", he said with proud smiles. While me and Asuma took our papers, with me having a big grin and Asuma letting out one last word before leaving.
"Good luck...Mia Sensei", He said smiling and chuckling, along with Kurenai. While Kakeshi just stare at me and knew the way he was moving his mouth. Saying, I wont last as a sensei more than 3 days. Which made me to look down a bit, just watching him just shushin out. While Hokage just let out a groan and before he could speak to me. I already left, to think things over...I might be late visiting my new students.
At the Academy....
Haku's POV
Well todays the day! Finally, after a long and hard work of going through school. I will finally be able to meet my very own Sensei. I can see that everyone else, including Naruto were excited and giddy. Waiting for their team placement, along with their own Sensei. I waited patiently, with the brightest smile of my life. Sitting between me were Ino and Hinata.
Which we couldn't help but talk to each other and congratuating our success. We just discuss randoms things, to kill the time. While waiting for Iruka-sensei to come and tell us who we are working for.
"So? Who do you think we're going to get pair up with?" Asked Ino, which I just looked up in thought and took a glance around the class room. Knowing our scores and test results, we get paired up by worst to best students. I look over towards Shikamaru and Choji, thinking that Ino might get paired up with them. To form another Ino-Shika-Cho team again, which she saw me looked at them.
While letting out a sigh. "Yeah I thought so... Thats what my dad said too. That we three might get pair up...MAN!", she slightly shouted a bit. Scarring me and Hinata from our skin, starring at the platinum blond. "I was hoping to be pair up, with either you girls", she whine while having stream of fake tears. And big bubble eyes wavering at me and Hinata. Which we just sweat drop and chuckle a bit.
Then I turn to Hinata. "Who you think, you will be pair with?" I asked her, which she let out a blush. While poking her index fingers together in that shy fashion. Which I couldn't help but grin, just looking down towards, our Knuckle headed ninja. In term the nick name, kinda stuck to me. From hanging out with Ino.
Telling Naruto about that nick name. He just laugh and agree that he can be some what, of a knuckle head when doing things. Especially pranks, I mean... You have to be completely bold and stupid to paint the hokage mountain. But knowing his score, along with Hinata's...I don't think they will be paired up in a team.
Of course I told Hinata, which she shrug with a smile. Saying... "I..I know, but it still couldn't hurt to think about it." She answer honestly, making me and ino to smile and nodded at her. If she does get pair with Naruto. Then good for her! If not...Well, she can always work along side him. When ever teams are doing a mission together.
Hearing the Classroom door opening. We all got tense suddenly and stare at Iruka, whom sweat drop from seeing how tense everyone is. While smiling to us, letting us know to not be so tense. I couldn't help it really...To be perfectly honest...With my final score of 70% all together. My chance of teaming up with someone I know, or don't know. Was 30-70% chance and thats not very good odds. Especially two people I really, really didn't want to join.
Sakura and Sasuke...Okay not fair to Sasuke. Mostly Sakura who I don't want to pair up with. But if I do join up with them. I'll have to make the best of it, it wouldn't be fair not to be friendly with them.
"Alright class, first of all. I like to congratulate you. Of becoming Genins and passing the Graduation exam. Now before we begin name ca-", Someone interrupted Iruka's speech, which I was surprise that it came from Kiba?
"Hey Iruka-sensei. Why is Naruto here? I thought he failed his test.", he asked, with confusion in his voice. Which I was about to wonder that same question. But I already knew what happen, since my mom told me. That Naruto stop Mizuki from stealing the forbiddon scroll, that was lock away in the hokage office. While also protecting Iruka and performing her favorite jutsu of all time. 'Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu'
"Eheh, read em and weep Kiba. See the headband? I did pass!" Naruto shouted with pride, pointing his thumb at the headband. That was around his forehead, which everyone all let out slight cools and awsome Naruto. Iruka then told the class, how he saved his life from Mizuki and boy! Did everyone cheer for Naruto, consisdering how close the two were and that Iruka-senei is mostly favorited teacher for this class.
Though Kiba just huff and said Beginners luck, along with Sakura saying how. Iruka just took pity and let him pass. Quietly of course...How did I know they were saying it? Don't forget, who's the hyuuga sitting on my right side. Now Iruka cleared his throat, once again getting everyone's attention. With a hint of...Prankster? Uh oh...
"Now, I'm going to call your name and who I ever call, for that team. Will wait untill they meet their senseis. Okay?" He asked everyone, who nodded. Going through 6 diffrent teams.
"Team Seven will be...Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha", which the Pink hair girl shouted in cheers, while slamming Naruto's head forward on the desk. Sasuke just shrugging and rubbing his ears. I notice that Iruka was pushing back laughter. What is funny Iruka? Then...I paled and so did Hinata, Ino and Naruto. Mostly all my friends did...When he said...
"And Haku Hyuuga. Your Sensei will be Kakashi hatake", I couldn't believe it. I felt my world shatter around me. I had to work with Sakura? Then shook my head and re-consisder that thought. After saying I will try my best to work with the girl and I meant it too. Ino and Hinata just patted my back and told me it will work out. Which I thank the two, getting up from my seat and heading down the row of stairs, passing Naruto. Who patted my shoulder and asked me to watch over Sakura for him,
Heh, Naruto I will do my best. Even he isn't in Sakura's team, he will still want someone to look out for her. After sitting next to the pink hair kunoichi. I just waved slightly to her and to Sasuke. With Sakura explaining to me, of not getting in her way and Sasuke. Which I rolled my eyes and lean forward a bit too. Get a actual good look of the boy and I have to say...Does not look any diffrent then the rest.
I said hello to the boy and I only got a hmph with a shrug. Leering back outside, with me just deadpanning at him. Some social skills... I thought to myself, which surprised me that he let out a sigh. Saying a small hi, which made Sakura happy, that he was being social. Looking at me wondering if I will accept. Shaking my head slightly and getting Sakura to lower one eye brow, then widen remembering what I meant by social and then she bop her head with her toung sticking out.
Wow, she keeping her end of the deal? After what she put me through...Actually, she never really harm me in any way. Just attended with the girls. Looking back forward to hear the next team. I looked up towards Hinata, after hearing...
"Team 8 will be...Kiba Inazuka, Shino Aburame and Hinata Hyuuga. Your Sensei is Kurenai Yuhi", Iruka announced looking up at the 3 students. Which surprisingly were sitting in a triangle. Hinata being in the back of the room and the two boys being infront of her.
Seeing Shino looking towards me, just nodded making a silent promise. To watch over Kiba and Hinata, along with keeping Kiba in place. So he won't make any advances on Hinata. Surprisingly I didn't know Kiba liked Hinata, but in a way. He didn't say he loves Hinata. Everyone and I mean everyone! Knows Hinata is madly in love with Naruto, ever since they were young. So I think Kiba making advances to Hinata, from what I remember when Shino was around. Was to help the girl get over her shyness and to be able to walk up to Naruto, with a strong front.
But will sometimes fail. Cause once you say, 'Picture me as Naruto'. Boom, she will be on the floor in the next. Just thinking about Naruto or being close to Naruto. Causes the girl to just faint infront of him.
After hearing their team. They sat with each other and waited for Iruka to finish. Which I expected and told Ino. That she will be teaming up with Team 10. Ino-Shika-Cho has been form once again.
Everyone looked at Naruto wondering if he was upset. That he didn't get in any team, but told everyone that..."Ah, there is but one 'MORE' sensei", he announced. Letting the 'more' pronounce, which confused me very much? There was one more sensei? I thought the balance was 10 teams and 3 genins?
I looked over to Iruka who was, still holding in that laugh and holding on that prankster like look.
"That's right Naruto. Its you and your Sensei is...", he paused for the brief moment, like opening up a letter or announce the winner of a contest. Making everyone and me to lean forward. Who was his sensei? While why is he going to be a lone genin?
"Mia Hyuuga", everyone jaws drop and look towards me. My face was in pure shock...My mom...My mom did it! She a...Wait a minute.
"Iruka-sensei! I thoug-" I was suddenly interupted by him holding his hand out.
"Before you ask Haku. Naruto and Mia, agree to wait 1 more year. For the next genins to be graduated. So don't worry, just because they can't do missions. Doesn't mean, she can't train Naruto" He smiled, while giving me a very distinctive wink. He was hiding something...I just know it.
Saying his last grats to us and saying how proud he was. He told everyone to go and meet their senseis once they come in. Everyone were all walking down and out the door, while saying good luck to everyone. Including to tell Naruto that he better get strong, when that one year is done. He smiled and said. "You better believe it. I will get strong, don't worry!" He announced, making everyone smile.
All that was left, were Team 7, 8, 10 and 11. As we waited patiently for our senseis to come in and take us with them. I looked down slightly, with confusion. Trying to figure out what Iruka was laughing about? This didnt go un-notice by Sasuke who looked at me and ask...Well with his voice. Sounded more like a demand...But since his voice was slightly deep, it can be mistaken that way.
"Whats wrong Haku?" He asked, moving his hands away from his chin. Making everyone to stare at me, along with Naruto. Heck Sakura wanted to know too, shes has been starring at me. Ever since I made this face...
"I..Just trying to figure out what Iruka was hiding?" Which got Naruto to come down and sit on the desk on the next row. With Ino coming up from behind me.
"What do you mean? Did Iruka do something funny?", Ino asked me. Looking up at them I wave my hand in a 'so-so' fashion. Making them look each other in the eyes, wondering if any one of the group knew what Iruka had plan. Before we could delve deep into it though, the first Sensei was in the room.
"Team 8. Kiba Inazuka, Shino Aburame and Hinata hyuuga?" She asked, seeing the three looked up to her and started walking towards her. Which the girl smile at them and told them to follow her. With one last good bye to the group. Me and Ino told them good luck and watch the door slowly get shut. With now Kurenai winking at us. Okay? Now the senseis are in it too?
This made everyone to just dead pan abit. While nodding with the idea that...Not just Iruka planning something, but the senseis as well. Once again, before we could delve deep into it. Another sensei came in.
"Team 10? Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akamichi?", he called. Whoa, whoa ,whoa...Thats only 2...What the 'h', 'e' double hockey sticks is going on!? Sorry for the language, but I had to say it. This is just getting more confusing and confusing with each passing Sensei. First Iruka was hiding something...Then Kurenai and Now this guy!? I looked towards Shikamaru and Choji, staring at the man with the same expression as every one eles.
"Well? I'm waiting?" He chuckle and watch not two of them, but three come towards him. Which was Ino whom didn't seem happy. That her name wasn't called and then blink stopping mid way. Causing the other two to bump into her.
"Whoa there...I only called two." He said, still holding onto that smile. Me, Sakura ,Naruto and Sasuke were all dumb founded and had to look at each other, to make sure we weren't having the same dream. Then back, seeing steam coming from Ino.
"What! Iruka Sensei, said Ino, Shikamaru and Choji. Last I heard. Right you two!" She said, whipping her heads towards the boys behind her. Which they nodded and agree, thats what they heard. While all 3 of them glare at the man. Who was scratching the side of his head.
"Really? Hmm...", Then everyone saw him take out a pieace of paper. Looking it through with a hand under his chin. "Well? It does have Shikamaru", points at the pineapple hair boy. "And Choji in the list?" he continue, while looking at the Akamichi. Then look at Ino who was tapping her foot. Not believing this guy was playing tricks with them already.
"Nothing about a Ino..." He said while, chuckling silently seeing the girl. Just jaw drop and started yelling at the man. Who told Shikamaru and Choji to continue on. "See ya miss Ino." and close the door...
"...What just happen..." She asked, while turning to look at us four. Which we all shook our heads and saw the door open one more. To reveal a guy with silver spikey hair.
"Oh? Ino, what are you still doing here?", he asked her. While Ino shouted with the top of her loungs, saying.
"THATS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!" She screamed, while humphing and slamming her self back down on a random chair. Mumbling and grumbling, saying how careless the senseis were being. I have to agree with her, this was making no sense. After watching Ino sit down, I faced towards Kakashi. Figuring that is his name, since he was here for team 7.
"Alright then...Team 7, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki", and once again. Came the confusion. The three of us just shrug it off and figure he was going to play stupid like Asuma. Once we all stood infront of him, he kept an eye on me and scratch the back of his head.
"Umm...Naruto turn off the henge and get serious" , he asked. Which Naruto called out from behind us, saying what henge. Making me look at the cyclops and raise an eye brow.
"I'm sorry Kakashi? But...I'm part of your team." I announced, hoping this wasn't another joke being played on us. Team 8 got their teams right. But why Team Asuma didn't take Ino was beyond me...Now this guy is doing the same with me...What is this? Hate on girls day...Wait no, Sakura is still on the team. Maybe take out the odd one? That can't be it...
"Hmm? I seem to recall, getting two boys and one girl. Which unless your a boy and are name Naruto? I can't take ya", he eye smiled. Okay its official...All Senseis are in with Iruka's joke. Seeing Naruto walk down and up in front of Kakashi, whom told me to take a step back. Which I did and saw him taking them along with him.
Closing the door behind him, with Naruto looking at me and Ino's confused face. Apologizing and left. We just stood there dumbfounded. So I did what any kid will do, walk up next to my friend. Sit down and try and figure out what the hel-...Wait!
Which me and Ino then looked at each other and back towards the Chalk board. Leering a bit to get a focus on team placement. "Team Mia, Haku Hyuuga and Ino Yamanaka!", which we just face plant on our desk. Thats why Iruka was laughing, because he was hiding. Our names behind him...That means...
"INO!" I caused the girl to jump up quickly. "We're on the same teams!" I announced, making the girl blink for a bit and then a big smiled appear on her face and squeal. Boy that definatly cheer her up fast...But one thing confused us? Why only 2 genin? Wasn't it sappouse to be a 3 man cell...
"Hey Haku..."
"Yeah..."
"We got doop didn't we..."
"I believe so..."
Then we let out a defeated sigh. They played us...All of them. Someone must've found a loophole within team placement. All the while figuring this out, we heard Naruto scream at Iruka-sensei.
"NOT COOL IRUKA-SENSEI!" He lashed out at the previous sensei, who reply and said to Naruto. That even teachers had to have fun too. Ino and I just shook our heads, couldn't believe that we fell for a prank. Now, all we have to do is wait for my mom to come....
50 minutes later...
Okay, something must be wrong. My mom hasn't shown up at all and its really starting to worry Ino and I. We constantly check at the door. Hoping for any sign...Anything that look like my mom. But nothing, Ino looking at me and asked if something happen this morning. Which I shook my head no, besides her being nervous.
Which the girl just nodded her head and understood what its like to be nervous. After waiting couple more minutes, we saw my mom outside the window. With a panic look that said. "I'm late, I'm late!" etch on. Which we had to laugh, seeing that she was carrying alot of scrolls and ninja gears. Holy cow mom...I heard of preperation...But this was waaay over doing it.
Then Ino and I had evil smirks on our faces. Figuring we should prank our sensei, since every one else did to us in the class. So getting back into our seats, practicing our angry scowls and annoyed look. We got our selfs ready and waited... And wait...Annnnd wait...
"Huh? At the speed she was going, you think she would've enter by now?" Ino said out loud, getting up and walking towards the door. With me behind her, peaking our heads out to the halls. Wandering where our sensei was and saw nothing. We just walk out to the middle of the hall. Scratching our heads in confusion.
"Are you two done with your fake scowls?" We shriek and held onto each other. From the sudden intrusion between both our ears. Whipping around and seeing my mom standing there. All the while laughing at the two of us.
"OH boy! Always wanted to do that for years!" She exclaim, while knee slapping and watch us pull away from each other. Glareing at her...But then join in the laughters with her. What could we say? We let our guard down, so it was fair play there. After all that fiasco and waiting on her end. We asked what was wrong during that 1 hour absence.
Boy we didn't expect this. But, what she told us is. She ran too the Yamanka clan and asked Inochi. Who's Ino's dad...To get permission to teach Ino, jutsus outside of the clan. Which surprised Inochi that she was in her team. Smiled and nodded while they both went through some seals and papers. To get permission for my mom to tutor and teach Ino outside jutsus.
Then she ran all the way towards the Hyuuga compound, asking Hiashi if there were any taijutsus and outside Jutsus that would benefit for me. Whiich he happily aplige and said yes. Saying that he got some low C rank to High C rank form of Water jutsu and Taijutsu for me to learn, while also preseanting Mia. Some Hyuuga techniqes.
After hearing all of this, Ino and I just stood there wide eye. She was going through all that, so she can be prepare and help teach us techniqes. That we might be interested in...wow. After all that was done and over with. With Ino giving us a team name, that does have a nice ring to it.
"Team Miakuno is now official!" Ino shouted with glee, making my mom and I smiled happily. She combin all our names into one and gosh darn it, it sounds great! We are now officially a Ninja team.
Mia's pov
Well its almost time for the genin teams set up. Oh boy I can't believe it! I never been so excited and nervous in my entire life. Though... I had to ask Sho to keep a close eye on Haku over the school days, after seeing her come back in a henge. With her henge up. I was inform and surprised that the girls at the school, teared and stole Haku's cloths, along by stealing Ino's and Hinata's spare cloths to give to Haku during their summer trip.
The poor girl was litterly broken down when she came home, with Ino and Hinata behind her. Fuming and seething, I rushed to Haku right away asking what happen. When she un-henge herself, she was standing there with just a towel on. Crying and shaking from being freezing cold.
I reported to the council about what went on in the field trip. Boy I never knew how angry, Hiashi, Inochi, Tsume could get and even the 3rd hokage were throwing off Kill intent every where and was starring down at the cilvillian side. Who surprisingly were seething in rage too? All but those who were parents, had shock looked on their faces.
When said person were asked, if they told their children to do all that to Haku and her friends. They meerly shook their heads. Me and Hiashi saw that they were telling the truth. We let out a breath of relief along with Tsume and Inochi. They even asked if they harm Haku and the others, I nodded on about Haku being harm by the girls and Sakura.
This I had to cover my ears, along with Tsume whose eyes were vibrating from the sudden shriek of "What", from miss Haruno of the head cilvillian council. Slaming her fist hard onto the counter, throwing me daggers and saying how Haku must be blind and thought she saw Sakura.
Which I inform her that Ino and Naruto were present along with me. When I said Naruto, most council were about to go into a fit of rage, but stop when I said that Ino and I were there. Then nodded to each other, asking me is this true. Which I nodded and they all glare to the parents of the girls.
Thankfully the council were being fair about this situation. Though Hiashi and Inochi tried everything to keep themselfs from jumping from their chair and hurt the people who heard. That the same girls, took Ino and Hinata's spare cloths for Haku to wear, since they teared up and ruin the cloths I gave her to the trip. My god, I had to go back and pay over 6078 Ryu. To restock her cloths. Which I was now broke once again and when things were looking good for our family.
After that ordeal from last night, everyone started apologizing to me, inochi and Hiashi. While leaving the room. Which the ninja of the council, were surprised how fast the meeting went and it un-settle us deeply. Turning my attention back to the others, we all just then let out a depressing sigh. They truly believe Haku wouldn't have a hard time, when the elders ask how this all started. I said one word, that made the war hawk Danzo leave the room. Calling me a stupid fool, okay he didn't say it out loud. Mostly mouthed it and I am very good at lip reading.
When I said Sasuke, everyone in the room must've had a huge question mark above their heads. I told them about how Haku said, that the only way she will see Sasuke. To the Sasuke fan club or in this case. Sakura, that he is a great person. Is when he will be more interactive and more nice to others. She will re-consisder her thoughts over the boy.
Which the Elders nodded to each other and told me, their trying the best they can. To get Sasuke to be more social to people. But he still refuses too, unless those who will help him with his vengence to kill his brother Itachi. Also telling me that they would never thought, that Haku will be in so much danger at and in both school and village.
Then before the hokage said anything. The Elders stood up and walk down to where I was standing, confused me a bit. When they turned around and face the ninja council. Saying how that might be a good idea. That Haku and Sasuke's interaction will be limited. When I asked why? They told me, that Sasuke Uchiha pride might get the best of him and if he ever learn about her Blood line, which then I raised both hands up and nodded.
He might get the wrong Idea and will think that everyone will be helping her out more. Since she is last of her kind. Along with Sasuke, who will probably do anything to fight her, which Sarutobi reminded everyone in the clans. That Iruka kept Haku and Sasuke away from fighting each other during the Taijutsu of the test. Consisdering how rough the boy can be with others and nearly sending them to the nurses office.
We all agree that, when the Chuunin Exams were to come. Which was about 4 months from now, that all team interaction between each other will be limited. Exception for Naruto, Haku and her friends. Which brought everyone to smile.
Even Hiashi said, that he will inform his daughter. That she can see Haku, any time she is free from both sides, while also congratulated me on becoming Jonin SENSEI!? My eyes bulged out and whip at everyone in the council, even the eldes were shaking hands with me and smiling.
Thats why they came to stand next to me. When I heard them thanking Hokage, that they will be the first to congratulate me for the job. I couldn't believe it! I was a Sensei! A SENSEI!
Now hear I stand with 3 other Sensei's, Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi and Kakashi Hatake. We were standing there, looking through all of the genins tests that were taking, while also being told about the incident with Naruto and Mizuki. I felt proud, that Naruto perform the Kage bushin no jutsu, or Shadow Clone Jutsu. To take down the traitor of the leaf. Which Iruka made Naruto pass and graduated the boy. I looked at my daughter test. She pass! I felt tears swelling up, seeing Haku manageing to pass and become a Ninja herself.
Which Kurenai and Asuma patted my back and said I must be proud. Which I nodded, while Kakashi just shrug his shoulder and said. She had outside help...Which made me glare at him. Me and Kakashi haves this hate/like relation. But I don't want to get into it, just involves our anbu days.
I've heard that he never once pass any Genin teams, through out the years, that sounds like him and knowing him. He wants a team that can get along and work like a team. I then went pass Haku's test papers, seeing her picture with a great big Smile on her face. I couldn't help but smile too and moved onto the next one. Which I accendently grab Naruto's and saw how bad his scores were and arch an eye brow. Which didn't go un-notice with Asuma, Kurenai and Kakashi. When you know me from child hood and if I ever raise an eye brow. You know that I caught sometihng wrong and out of place.
"Something wrong Mia?" Asked the hokage, which he figure I was looking at Naruto's test resaults. Which I kinda nodded a bit and inform him, how Haku and Ino explain to me, that the teachers were altering his test result. Which confuse the two Jonin sensei next to me, then eyes went wide. When I told them that Ino and Hinata explain to me, one school year.
In the throwing range, that he scored 100% out of Sasuke's 78%. Then a KI was raised causing all of us and Kakashi to back up to the wall. Seeing a fire passion behind Hokage, muttering and cursing every signle teacher...Minus Iruka, who have ever taught Naruto. That he would make sure they will get personal visits from him. Asking me if I knew anything eles, I told him that Mizuki used a Chakra infuse disturbance, to mess up Naruto and Haku's aim. When she explain to me that she sensed it and so did. Hinata and Shikamaru, along with Ino.
Then told them how I agree with the kids, that Sakura had this natual feel with Chakra. Would've sense it but ignore it. Along with Sasuke. Hokage just let out a sigh and slightly bang his head on the desk, causing all of us to sweat drop a bit. Knowing he couldn't do anything about it, but had suspicions with Iruka. That Mizuki was up to something during the exams and school.
"Any way, since our tattle tale is over." Kakashi said, making me to slouch a bit and looked down in shame. I didn't realize I was being a tattle tale. Boy, way to get my spirits down Kakashi. I could sense Kurenai and Azuma grunt a bit from his response. Knowing that was directed towards me.
"It seems, we have a very un-balance roster", this made me whip my head towards the Cyclops. He was right! Naruto and Haku were 2 new genins. Which made the balance and order thrown out the window. 12 Genins, 3 teams, and i make a 4th Sensei. So I shouldn't...be here.
"Hokage? If I may occur, that we should leave Mia to wait 1 more year. To become sensei. Since there are too many variables and Genins that pass this year. With Naruto passing last night. Made it 13 genins...Since Haku would have taken his place in getting a sensei. I would say, I want Naruto to be in my team instead of Haku.", which made me just...I don't know what to do...I could just Picture Haku sitting at her desk. Waiting and waiting for her sensei to come, but to be disappointed and the sensei to never come. But knowing her she wouldn't mind waiting one more year. She even told me, before I left this morning. She told me, if she doesnt get a sensei. She can wait one more year for other students to graduate.
"Well...I could teach Naruto more efficiant than you Kakashi", I mutter under my breath. While clasping it close. Realizing that everyone heard me. Including Kakashi who was glareing at me. But Hokage was boasting in laughter, making all of us to slowly look towards the man.
"Oh my, Mia! That was just perfect and a great idea if I may add", this brought all of us even more confused. Making me wonder what he meant.
"Um Hokage?" Kakashi asked slowly. Which Sarutobi wave his hand a bit.
"Oh come now Kakashi and you three. If you think about it? Mia here, out of all 3 of you beside Kakashi of course. Knows the Shadow Clone techniqe and can probably teach Naruto and help him perfect that Jutsu. Since she can make 30 of them, while Naruto can make 100", which made all of us, even Kakashi, to nod at this infomation. He was right. If Naruto were to be on my team, I can help the boy learn the ways and secret of the jutsu. Along with figuring out what element Chakra he is. And if my judgement right, also knowing who his parents are. He was probably a wind/water type Ninja.
I could help him greatly to learn wind Jutsu and Water Jutsu. Heck even Asuma could teach Naruto wind jutsus. Oh wow, the possibillity I can help Naruto with his ninja career...But that leaves Haku also. I can teach her greatly too, her being a Water/Wind user too. Plus her blood line...Which I gotta figure out what it does...
"Well as may that be true Hokage. I should really take Naruto in my team, since I know how to help the boy more..."Efficiantly", he said with a leer towards me. Making me feel incompatent, that I won't be able to handle Naruto. "That and I doubt, Mia will be able to keep up with him...Consisdering she couldn't follow orders and capture the boy. When he painted the Hokage mountain."
Eesh...Okay he got me there...I definatly wouldn't keep up with the boy. Especially with that Stamina of his. Though the part about not catching him? Iruka haves better sense of where he is than I do. That and he never did anything bad to me so why would I help them? Selfish I know...I just like watching Naruto's skill of never being caught by Chuunin, Jonins and Anbus. That give them a good chase and probably without Naruto's help. They wouldn't be as fast as they are now.
Letting out a sigh. The Hokage just shook his head and wonder what he should do, "Kakashi, I know your mentor would want him in your team. But if Naruto and Haku were to switch places. It will still make one of the two left out for Ninja career", he said honestly which. Made everyone nodded in the room. Even me...So I just went back to looking at the papers.
Ino Yamanaka. B average Student, good at her family clan jutsu. While being proficiant at Poisen and iinfomation how to take care of those easily and use them for her advantage during a Ninja test battle.
Yup, definatly her fathers daughter. Though surprise that she is excellent at Poisens. So that was a shocker and her knowledge about them. Which I remember her helping and curing Haku and Hinata's injuries during the field trip. When Haku and Hinata both trip over a vine, that had poisen in them. Ino quickly took out one of the senbons, that I told Haku to carry for Medical purposes and pull out the poisen out of their legs.
By sticking the needle into their skin and using chakra to pull it out with it. Then quickly using a diffrent poisen and mix it with that one. Analyse the counter effects, then quickly grab some herbs and berries that were to cure it.
Looking at my other papers for Senseis and Students lists
Sensei Asuma, Students. Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akamichi and Ino Yamanaka.
Sensei Kurenai. Students. Hyuuga Hinata, Kiba Inazuka and Shino Abruame
Sensei Kakashi. Students. Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Haku Hyuuga
Sensei Mia. Students. Naruto Uzumaki, ???, ???
Which I sadden at the resaults. Even if I do get Naruto on my team, he would have to wait till we could accept missions. Especially since we have to wait a whole Year to get started. I looked down in defeat and shook my head. Rubbing my blue hair in frustraition, I can see the grin on Kakashi face in that book of his. But when he look at me, it was a leer grin. He knew I wasn't going to be a sensei any time soon...Why did I bother to keep this dream of mine...I should just give up...give up...
* Flashback*
"Hey if you want to be a Sensei! Then Never give up!" Shouted the young boy. Who I met at Ichirakus this morning. With the smell of ramen and people walking out in the streets. Congratulating me and Naruto. For becoming a Sensei and a Genin ninja, which made us blush and thank them.
"I know Naruto...But since you pass and Haku pass. That makes a odd number of 13 Genins...", I said slowly eating my Ramen with a down looked. While Teuchi just washed something in his hands, that were bowls. Keeping his attention on our conversation. I felt Naruto pat my back and made me smiled brightly when he said to me...
"Well...If you become my Sensei...I will wait till a year for us to get more team members. Besides! I heard you know the Shadow clone jutsu like me! Then you and me can practice. All year, to get ready for those 2 team members and show how realiable we are!" He proclaim, making every one to clap a bit and smile at the boy in the resturant. I laugh and nodded.
"Your right Naruto! Just because we won't being accepting missions. We can always practice and
train each other. I can do the same if Haku were on my team." I said with full confedince now, excited more than ever to get ready.
"YEAH! WATCH OUT WORLD! TEAM MIA WILL BE READY FOR YA!" The boy shouted, while standing on his stool. Shouting out to the villager making everyone there at Ichiraku to smile and Teuchi turning around.
"You tell them Naruto. Mia show the world, that even dreams can come true!" He said, with Ayame coming out with Narutos 5th bowl and nodded to me.
*Flashback end*
I shook my head and remember Naruto's words. I shouldn't give up because of a certain deilemma. Showing with new confidence that surprised everyone in the room. Minus Hokage. I step up and said, if I have to wait a whole year. Then I can wait and train my students either way, even if we don't do missions or entering the Chuunin exams. I will get that student prepare and help me train the 2 new genin teams.
Hokage, Kurenai, Asuma and Kakashi all clap at that. Making me smile a bit and bow to the Hokage. Then Asuma stop in mid clap, quickly looking at his paper. Causing Kurenai to look at him.
"What is it Asuma?", I heard her asked, with the man walking up next to me and infront of the Hokage desk.
"Hey Mia? How much do you know about Yamanakas?" He asked me with a smile. Knowing that ciguratte was light and he was smoking it. He was a exception just like the Hokage, since it helps Asuma think and help with his fire jutsu. I looked up in thought and awnser honestly.
"Well, besides being team up with Inochi? I have medium knowledge about them. Why?" I asked, with confusion. Sensing Kakashi KI increse a bit, probably knowing something is up. Then drop it when Hokage leer at him and then back to Asuma.
"Asuma?", he asked slowly, which the man chuckle and turn to the Hokage,
"Hokage-sama, I believe Mia and I will be able to perform this right. Make Haku and Ino in Mia's team", then quickly raise his hands before anyone could object. Saying that it will only make both teams un-available to perform missions. "Now hear me out...Hokage-sama? Why do we always get a 3 man genin cell?" he asked, with a smirk and resting his hand under his chin. I heard the Hokage reply, that so they will move and hide themselfs without being in a big group. Then i saw Hokage widen his eyes and started caculating in his head and went into a boast full laughter.
Causing Asuma to laugh to and me to just move my head to the Hokage and Asuma, then Hokage nodding his head.
"Well Asuma, seems like you found a loop hole in this. Care to explain why switch ino?" He asked Asume carefully, which the man blew out some smoke, out the window. Then turning back to the hokage.
"Well? Haku and Ino are very close friends. I figure, why not have those two team up together? They might work well and Ino will probably, get annoyed by Choji's and Shikamarus antics", then whisper about also. Being the only girl on the group. Which Kakashi this point. Step up and wanted to address something. I knew this wouldn't be good.
"Hokage if I do may so ask...This will ruin the formation an-", then Hokage slam his hand on the desk. Causing everyone to jump a bit. I look at the man. Wondering what he was going to say?
"Kakashi. I don't know what your deal is. With preventing Mia from being Sensei. But I assure you, that a 3 man cell. Is conjure up by having 3 ninjas. Working together and helping each other out. While I may know our system, is sappouse to be a 4 man cell. With the sensei making up the 4th member. I seem to recall, the sensei not being under any juridistiction. Of being a 3rd man...", I saw him smile at the end and leaning against his chair. Playing the loop hole quite well.
I saw the cyclops just stood there flabbergausted. While ready to protest again, I got angry and slam my own hand on the desk. Which made the Hokage chuckle a bit, oh you were ready for me to get in the action werent you old man? Heh...Well played.
"KAKASHI! Just shut the heck up and be happy. That you even have Naruto! In your precious list of genins!" Okay I could've said that without yelling. But my rage just won't let go, I need to put him in his place. "Even though I would prefer Naruto in my team. I remember that Sakura was in your list. Thus making things un-comfortable with Haku in that group", I announced, which the Hokage facepalm his own face. saying out loud, he totoally forgot about those school incidents.
Which I saw Kurenai leer a bit. From the word Sakura came into play. She remember over hearing things about what the girl did to Haku. When she was eating with Anko, the two heard some school girls saying. How their plan to make Haku life a living nightmare for school. Made the two take action and dicipline those girls. While stopping them from harming Haku any more.
I also remember her, coming to my house and told me that. Haku won't have to fear about going to school for Graduation. Anko taught them straight, which I shudder.
Hearing Hokage clear his throat and new papers were giving to me and Asuma. "Well then, I hope you two will become great Senseis, including you Kakashi and Kurenai", he said with proud smiles. While me and Asuma took our papers, with me having a big grin and Asuma letting out one last word before leaving.
"Good luck...Mia Sensei", He said smiling and chuckling, along with Kurenai. While Kakeshi just stare at me and knew the way he was moving his mouth. Saying, I wont last as a sensei more than 3 days. Which made me to look down a bit, just watching him just shushin out. While Hokage just let out a groan and before he could speak to me. I already left, to think things over...I might be late visiting my new students.
At the Academy....
Haku's POV
Well todays the day! Finally, after a long and hard work of going through school. I will finally be able to meet my very own Sensei. I can see that everyone else, including Naruto were excited and giddy. Waiting for their team placement, along with their own Sensei. I waited patiently, with the brightest smile of my life. Sitting between me were Ino and Hinata.
Which we couldn't help but talk to each other and congratuating our success. We just discuss randoms things, to kill the time. While waiting for Iruka-sensei to come and tell us who we are working for.
"So? Who do you think we're going to get pair up with?" Asked Ino, which I just looked up in thought and took a glance around the class room. Knowing our scores and test results, we get paired up by worst to best students. I look over towards Shikamaru and Choji, thinking that Ino might get paired up with them. To form another Ino-Shika-Cho team again, which she saw me looked at them.
While letting out a sigh. "Yeah I thought so... Thats what my dad said too. That we three might get pair up...MAN!", she slightly shouted a bit. Scarring me and Hinata from our skin, starring at the platinum blond. "I was hoping to be pair up, with either you girls", she whine while having stream of fake tears. And big bubble eyes wavering at me and Hinata. Which we just sweat drop and chuckle a bit.
Then I turn to Hinata. "Who you think, you will be pair with?" I asked her, which she let out a blush. While poking her index fingers together in that shy fashion. Which I couldn't help but grin, just looking down towards, our Knuckle headed ninja. In term the nick name, kinda stuck to me. From hanging out with Ino.
Telling Naruto about that nick name. He just laugh and agree that he can be some what, of a knuckle head when doing things. Especially pranks, I mean... You have to be completely bold and stupid to paint the hokage mountain. But knowing his score, along with Hinata's...I don't think they will be paired up in a team.
Of course I told Hinata, which she shrug with a smile. Saying... "I..I know, but it still couldn't hurt to think about it." She answer honestly, making me and ino to smile and nodded at her. If she does get pair with Naruto. Then good for her! If not...Well, she can always work along side him. When ever teams are doing a mission together.
Hearing the Classroom door opening. We all got tense suddenly and stare at Iruka, whom sweat drop from seeing how tense everyone is. While smiling to us, letting us know to not be so tense. I couldn't help it really...To be perfectly honest...With my final score of 70% all together. My chance of teaming up with someone I know, or don't know. Was 30-70% chance and thats not very good odds. Especially two people I really, really didn't want to join.
Sakura and Sasuke...Okay not fair to Sasuke. Mostly Sakura who I don't want to pair up with. But if I do join up with them. I'll have to make the best of it, it wouldn't be fair not to be friendly with them.
"Alright class, first of all. I like to congratulate you. Of becoming Genins and passing the Graduation exam. Now before we begin name ca-", Someone interrupted Iruka's speech, which I was surprise that it came from Kiba?
"Hey Iruka-sensei. Why is Naruto here? I thought he failed his test.", he asked, with confusion in his voice. Which I was about to wonder that same question. But I already knew what happen, since my mom told me. That Naruto stop Mizuki from stealing the forbiddon scroll, that was lock away in the hokage office. While also protecting Iruka and performing her favorite jutsu of all time. 'Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu'
"Eheh, read em and weep Kiba. See the headband? I did pass!" Naruto shouted with pride, pointing his thumb at the headband. That was around his forehead, which everyone all let out slight cools and awsome Naruto. Iruka then told the class, how he saved his life from Mizuki and boy! Did everyone cheer for Naruto, consisdering how close the two were and that Iruka-senei is mostly favorited teacher for this class.
Though Kiba just huff and said Beginners luck, along with Sakura saying how. Iruka just took pity and let him pass. Quietly of course...How did I know they were saying it? Don't forget, who's the hyuuga sitting on my right side. Now Iruka cleared his throat, once again getting everyone's attention. With a hint of...Prankster? Uh oh...
"Now, I'm going to call your name and who I ever call, for that team. Will wait untill they meet their senseis. Okay?" He asked everyone, who nodded. Going through 6 diffrent teams.
"Team Seven will be...Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha", which the Pink hair girl shouted in cheers, while slamming Naruto's head forward on the desk. Sasuke just shrugging and rubbing his ears. I notice that Iruka was pushing back laughter. What is funny Iruka? Then...I paled and so did Hinata, Ino and Naruto. Mostly all my friends did...When he said...
"And Haku Hyuuga. Your Sensei will be Kakashi hatake", I couldn't believe it. I felt my world shatter around me. I had to work with Sakura? Then shook my head and re-consisder that thought. After saying I will try my best to work with the girl and I meant it too. Ino and Hinata just patted my back and told me it will work out. Which I thank the two, getting up from my seat and heading down the row of stairs, passing Naruto. Who patted my shoulder and asked me to watch over Sakura for him,
Heh, Naruto I will do my best. Even he isn't in Sakura's team, he will still want someone to look out for her. After sitting next to the pink hair kunoichi. I just waved slightly to her and to Sasuke. With Sakura explaining to me, of not getting in her way and Sasuke. Which I rolled my eyes and lean forward a bit too. Get a actual good look of the boy and I have to say...Does not look any diffrent then the rest.
I said hello to the boy and I only got a hmph with a shrug. Leering back outside, with me just deadpanning at him. Some social skills... I thought to myself, which surprised me that he let out a sigh. Saying a small hi, which made Sakura happy, that he was being social. Looking at me wondering if I will accept. Shaking my head slightly and getting Sakura to lower one eye brow, then widen remembering what I meant by social and then she bop her head with her toung sticking out.
Wow, she keeping her end of the deal? After what she put me through...Actually, she never really harm me in any way. Just attended with the girls. Looking back forward to hear the next team. I looked up towards Hinata, after hearing...
"Team 8 will be...Kiba Inazuka, Shino Aburame and Hinata Hyuuga. Your Sensei is Kurenai Yuhi", Iruka announced looking up at the 3 students. Which surprisingly were sitting in a triangle. Hinata being in the back of the room and the two boys being infront of her.
Seeing Shino looking towards me, just nodded making a silent promise. To watch over Kiba and Hinata, along with keeping Kiba in place. So he won't make any advances on Hinata. Surprisingly I didn't know Kiba liked Hinata, but in a way. He didn't say he loves Hinata. Everyone and I mean everyone! Knows Hinata is madly in love with Naruto, ever since they were young. So I think Kiba making advances to Hinata, from what I remember when Shino was around. Was to help the girl get over her shyness and to be able to walk up to Naruto, with a strong front.
But will sometimes fail. Cause once you say, 'Picture me as Naruto'. Boom, she will be on the floor in the next. Just thinking about Naruto or being close to Naruto. Causes the girl to just faint infront of him.
After hearing their team. They sat with each other and waited for Iruka to finish. Which I expected and told Ino. That she will be teaming up with Team 10. Ino-Shika-Cho has been form once again.
Everyone looked at Naruto wondering if he was upset. That he didn't get in any team, but told everyone that..."Ah, there is but one 'MORE' sensei", he announced. Letting the 'more' pronounce, which confused me very much? There was one more sensei? I thought the balance was 10 teams and 3 genins?
I looked over to Iruka who was, still holding in that laugh and holding on that prankster like look.
"That's right Naruto. Its you and your Sensei is...", he paused for the brief moment, like opening up a letter or announce the winner of a contest. Making everyone and me to lean forward. Who was his sensei? While why is he going to be a lone genin?
"Mia Hyuuga", everyone jaws drop and look towards me. My face was in pure shock...My mom...My mom did it! She a...Wait a minute.
"Iruka-sensei! I thoug-" I was suddenly interupted by him holding his hand out.
"Before you ask Haku. Naruto and Mia, agree to wait 1 more year. For the next genins to be graduated. So don't worry, just because they can't do missions. Doesn't mean, she can't train Naruto" He smiled, while giving me a very distinctive wink. He was hiding something...I just know it.
Saying his last grats to us and saying how proud he was. He told everyone to go and meet their senseis once they come in. Everyone were all walking down and out the door, while saying good luck to everyone. Including to tell Naruto that he better get strong, when that one year is done. He smiled and said. "You better believe it. I will get strong, don't worry!" He announced, making everyone smile.
All that was left, were Team 7, 8, 10 and 11. As we waited patiently for our senseis to come in and take us with them. I looked down slightly, with confusion. Trying to figure out what Iruka was laughing about? This didnt go un-notice by Sasuke who looked at me and ask...Well with his voice. Sounded more like a demand...But since his voice was slightly deep, it can be mistaken that way.
"Whats wrong Haku?" He asked, moving his hands away from his chin. Making everyone to stare at me, along with Naruto. Heck Sakura wanted to know too, shes has been starring at me. Ever since I made this face...
"I..Just trying to figure out what Iruka was hiding?" Which got Naruto to come down and sit on the desk on the next row. With Ino coming up from behind me.
"What do you mean? Did Iruka do something funny?", Ino asked me. Looking up at them I wave my hand in a 'so-so' fashion. Making them look each other in the eyes, wondering if any one of the group knew what Iruka had plan. Before we could delve deep into it though, the first Sensei was in the room.
"Team 8. Kiba Inazuka, Shino Aburame and Hinata hyuuga?" She asked, seeing the three looked up to her and started walking towards her. Which the girl smile at them and told them to follow her. With one last good bye to the group. Me and Ino told them good luck and watch the door slowly get shut. With now Kurenai winking at us. Okay? Now the senseis are in it too?
This made everyone to just dead pan abit. While nodding with the idea that...Not just Iruka planning something, but the senseis as well. Once again, before we could delve deep into it. Another sensei came in.
"Team 10? Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akamichi?", he called. Whoa, whoa ,whoa...Thats only 2...What the 'h', 'e' double hockey sticks is going on!? Sorry for the language, but I had to say it. This is just getting more confusing and confusing with each passing Sensei. First Iruka was hiding something...Then Kurenai and Now this guy!? I looked towards Shikamaru and Choji, staring at the man with the same expression as every one eles.
"Well? I'm waiting?" He chuckle and watch not two of them, but three come towards him. Which was Ino whom didn't seem happy. That her name wasn't called and then blink stopping mid way. Causing the other two to bump into her.
"Whoa there...I only called two." He said, still holding onto that smile. Me, Sakura ,Naruto and Sasuke were all dumb founded and had to look at each other, to make sure we weren't having the same dream. Then back, seeing steam coming from Ino.
"What! Iruka Sensei, said Ino, Shikamaru and Choji. Last I heard. Right you two!" She said, whipping her heads towards the boys behind her. Which they nodded and agree, thats what they heard. While all 3 of them glare at the man. Who was scratching the side of his head.
"Really? Hmm...", Then everyone saw him take out a pieace of paper. Looking it through with a hand under his chin. "Well? It does have Shikamaru", points at the pineapple hair boy. "And Choji in the list?" he continue, while looking at the Akamichi. Then look at Ino who was tapping her foot. Not believing this guy was playing tricks with them already.
"Nothing about a Ino..." He said while, chuckling silently seeing the girl. Just jaw drop and started yelling at the man. Who told Shikamaru and Choji to continue on. "See ya miss Ino." and close the door...
"...What just happen..." She asked, while turning to look at us four. Which we all shook our heads and saw the door open one more. To reveal a guy with silver spikey hair.
"Oh? Ino, what are you still doing here?", he asked her. While Ino shouted with the top of her loungs, saying.
"THATS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!" She screamed, while humphing and slamming her self back down on a random chair. Mumbling and grumbling, saying how careless the senseis were being. I have to agree with her, this was making no sense. After watching Ino sit down, I faced towards Kakashi. Figuring that is his name, since he was here for team 7.
"Alright then...Team 7, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki", and once again. Came the confusion. The three of us just shrug it off and figure he was going to play stupid like Asuma. Once we all stood infront of him, he kept an eye on me and scratch the back of his head.
"Umm...Naruto turn off the henge and get serious" , he asked. Which Naruto called out from behind us, saying what henge. Making me look at the cyclops and raise an eye brow.
"I'm sorry Kakashi? But...I'm part of your team." I announced, hoping this wasn't another joke being played on us. Team 8 got their teams right. But why Team Asuma didn't take Ino was beyond me...Now this guy is doing the same with me...What is this? Hate on girls day...Wait no, Sakura is still on the team. Maybe take out the odd one? That can't be it...
"Hmm? I seem to recall, getting two boys and one girl. Which unless your a boy and are name Naruto? I can't take ya", he eye smiled. Okay its official...All Senseis are in with Iruka's joke. Seeing Naruto walk down and up in front of Kakashi, whom told me to take a step back. Which I did and saw him taking them along with him.
Closing the door behind him, with Naruto looking at me and Ino's confused face. Apologizing and left. We just stood there dumbfounded. So I did what any kid will do, walk up next to my friend. Sit down and try and figure out what the hel-...Wait!
Which me and Ino then looked at each other and back towards the Chalk board. Leering a bit to get a focus on team placement. "Team Mia, Haku Hyuuga and Ino Yamanaka!", which we just face plant on our desk. Thats why Iruka was laughing, because he was hiding. Our names behind him...That means...
"INO!" I caused the girl to jump up quickly. "We're on the same teams!" I announced, making the girl blink for a bit and then a big smiled appear on her face and squeal. Boy that definatly cheer her up fast...But one thing confused us? Why only 2 genin? Wasn't it sappouse to be a 3 man cell...
"Hey Haku..."
"Yeah..."
"We got doop didn't we..."
"I believe so..."
Then we let out a defeated sigh. They played us...All of them. Someone must've found a loophole within team placement. All the while figuring this out, we heard Naruto scream at Iruka-sensei.
"NOT COOL IRUKA-SENSEI!" He lashed out at the previous sensei, who reply and said to Naruto. That even teachers had to have fun too. Ino and I just shook our heads, couldn't believe that we fell for a prank. Now, all we have to do is wait for my mom to come....
50 minutes later...
Okay, something must be wrong. My mom hasn't shown up at all and its really starting to worry Ino and I. We constantly check at the door. Hoping for any sign...Anything that look like my mom. But nothing, Ino looking at me and asked if something happen this morning. Which I shook my head no, besides her being nervous.
Which the girl just nodded her head and understood what its like to be nervous. After waiting couple more minutes, we saw my mom outside the window. With a panic look that said. "I'm late, I'm late!" etch on. Which we had to laugh, seeing that she was carrying alot of scrolls and ninja gears. Holy cow mom...I heard of preperation...But this was waaay over doing it.
Then Ino and I had evil smirks on our faces. Figuring we should prank our sensei, since every one else did to us in the class. So getting back into our seats, practicing our angry scowls and annoyed look. We got our selfs ready and waited... And wait...Annnnd wait...
"Huh? At the speed she was going, you think she would've enter by now?" Ino said out loud, getting up and walking towards the door. With me behind her, peaking our heads out to the halls. Wandering where our sensei was and saw nothing. We just walk out to the middle of the hall. Scratching our heads in confusion.
"Are you two done with your fake scowls?" We shriek and held onto each other. From the sudden intrusion between both our ears. Whipping around and seeing my mom standing there. All the while laughing at the two of us.
"OH boy! Always wanted to do that for years!" She exclaim, while knee slapping and watch us pull away from each other. Glareing at her...But then join in the laughters with her. What could we say? We let our guard down, so it was fair play there. After all that fiasco and waiting on her end. We asked what was wrong during that 1 hour absence.
Boy we didn't expect this. But, what she told us is. She ran too the Yamanka clan and asked Inochi. Who's Ino's dad...To get permission to teach Ino, jutsus outside of the clan. Which surprised Inochi that she was in her team. Smiled and nodded while they both went through some seals and papers. To get permission for my mom to tutor and teach Ino outside jutsus.
Then she ran all the way towards the Hyuuga compound, asking Hiashi if there were any taijutsus and outside Jutsus that would benefit for me. Whiich he happily aplige and said yes. Saying that he got some low C rank to High C rank form of Water jutsu and Taijutsu for me to learn, while also preseanting Mia. Some Hyuuga techniqes.
After hearing all of this, Ino and I just stood there wide eye. She was going through all that, so she can be prepare and help teach us techniqes. That we might be interested in...wow. After all that was done and over with. With Ino giving us a team name, that does have a nice ring to it.
"Team Miakuno is now official!" Ino shouted with glee, making my mom and I smiled happily. She combin all our names into one and gosh darn it, it sounds great! We are now officially a Ninja team.
