Chapter 12

 

Ino's Revelation

 

 

The academy was a stir with the excitement of nearly thirty potential genin. This was the day, the day all had been longing for since they entered the academy. The students filed into class like normal with a few interesting changes.

 

For some reason Naruto and Sasuke had come in with twin swords crossing on their backs. The most loyal fan girls knew they had been studying swordsmanship with Hayate Gekko for nearly six years but this was the first any of them had seen either of the boys with actual blades.

 

Another unusual occurrence was three strange kids who showed up. Most the students didn't recognize them, especially the students who failed from previous years and others who were not in the class for a select few days. The few that did remember recognized the blue kimono, the leather one, and the strange trench coat. Shikamaru however noticed a difference in them. The blue lover was wearing a mask similar to Kakashi's, the girl had a strange armguard that looked like a blade could be attached to it, and the trench coat kid was carrying what looked like a nodachi.

 

A lot had clearly changed over the past five and a half years. Sauske had changed out of his Uchiha shirt for gray shirt and a black leather trench coat with his arms bandaged and a strange strap around the bandages. (What can I say trench coats rock.) Two strait shirasaya worn crossed at his back but worn at the belt, both were black with a silver line drawn down the middle. On his back was a new Uchiha symbol. It was a golden phoenix rising from its own ashes. A creature rebirthed in its own destruction, it symbolized the tragic events his family had gone through. It symbolized how the Uchiha had been destroyed by their own power, consumed, unable to control the flame that was the Sharingan.

 

He had changed a lot thanks to Naruto, Sarutobi, and Hayate. Much of his arrogance and pride was still there in his personality but he no longer let it get in the way of his training or fights. The past six years had developed a brother like bond with Naruto and much the same as Naruto's father like bond with Sarutobi. The emo like brooding had vanished before it had begun much to the surprise and rejoicing of Nazomishi.

 

Naruto seemed a little more outlandish with some strange martial arts uniform. (Again like Vegito only with a black undershirt) With these strange red katana worn on his back His hair had been spiked more than normal and had been let grow out another few inches (more like Gohan's in ssj 1 form when he is in high school. Well in length anyway.)

 

Naruto's personality had grown thanks to being around Sasuke and the adults. His intelligence had grown significantly with the last Uchiha backing him up in school. The teachers who hated him and gave him pointless tests ended up being forced to give him the normal exams. With a renewed self-esteem Naruto ended up having average grades by his class's standards. His abilities with Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Kenjutsu had grown to at least mid genin level and potentially Chuunin level as did Sasuke's. Sarutobi expected them to be ready to pass the Chuunin exams on the first try.

 

 

“Alright now that everyone is here its time to begin this year's genin exams.” Iruka was very happy, this was the year most of his favorite students would most likely become genin. He was happy for them, slightly sad they would be leaving but happy that he was the one that got them where they are. He was in many aspects proud of this year's group.

 

“Hey Iruka Sensei what's with the strange guys? I haven't seen them here before, are they observing us?” One of the many no name participants of the class asked, wondering why anyone new would be there on their last day of class.

 

“No they joined this class in its first year but left on a training mission with Sharingan Kakashi.”

 

“Hey I'm not that strange.” Nazomishi looked around to see many people trying to figure out what's behind the mask. God he loved how masks made people want to know what was behind them. Of course knowing him so well Rei knew what he was thinking and smacked him on the back of the head. As far as Iruka's statement went a few people were surprised but most were utterly clueless as to who he was in the first place. Everybody else remembered that very random day.

 

“Alright everybody this exam will be used to determine whether or not you are capable of becoming genin. It's results will assist in determining weather you are cut out for being a ninja as well as the teams you will be placed on if you make the cut. The first part of this exam will be a written exam with the second part a Taijutsu test and the final portion a test of the basic Academy jutsu. ” he began walking around placing the written portion on the student's desks.

 

As soon as Iruka signaled the class to begin their pencils went to work answering the various questions. Most were rather basic questions about being ninja with the more difficult questions consisting of short answer questions like “Describe the uses of a Kunai with respect to the daily life of a Shinobi?”

 

It was a long and tedious exam taking nearly two hours for most to complete. Shikamaru was of course the first to finish leaving himself with plenty of time to sleep. Sakura was the second to finish thanks to her intelligence regardless of the vast amount wasted on fangirlism. Or at least that's how Naruto and Sauske looked at it.

 

Once all pencils were down Iruka announced the beginning of the Taijutsu portion. For this section they all headed down the academy's dojo and Iruka began to explain the rules for this portion..

 

“The rules are as fallows. You will be paired up against one opponent and given a rating by a panel consisting of myself, Mizuki, and the Hokage. The point system has three points awardable by each judge, you must have a minimum of five points to pass this portion. You must demonstrate a Taijutsu or Kenjutsu form. Sword users are required to use boken. If you forfeit before adequate performance has been shown you fail. The match is over once a Judge calls an end to the match. If you intentionally continue after a match has been called you fail. The use of anything other than pure Taijutsu or Kenjutsu will result in failure. Any questions? No? good, begin. The first match will be Sakura vs Shikamaru”

 

The match was rather uneventful; Sakura was rather slow and lost with a kunai to the throat.

 

The trio were standing grouped together with Naruto and Sasuke.

 

“It seems you got my gift.” Naruto smiled at his handiwork and loved the smiles on their faces when he noticed their reaction.

 

“Yea these are sweet, too bad the old man wouldn't give them to us till yesterday.”

 

“Kept them as a graduation present?”

 

“Something like that.” Sasuke grew a smirk and said “I hope to fight one of you, there's no way your style can defeat mine.”

 

“We will see.” Nazomishi himself smirked as Iruka mentioned the next match.

 

“Next match Aoshi Shinomori Vs Hinata Hyuuga”

 

Aoshi raised his hand and spoke immediately “one moment.” He walked over to grab a set of Boken but pulled out a kunai and commenced in reducing the size of the katana size sticks to that of kodachi.

 

“Sorry but I feel un conferrable with normal katana, my weapons of choice are twin Kodachi.” Iruka nodded and the fight continued.

 

Hinata fell into a gentle fist stance as Aoshi stood crossing his blades in front of himself. Both combatants leaped forward with Aoshi performing a cross slash at Hinata as she aimed under the attack focusing on an important tenketsu in the leg because his upper body was too well protected with his blades.

 

Aoshi was able to react quickly with his blades and smash her fingers away quickly and with little effort. He blocked the attack with the blade in his left hand and commenced in striking at her head diagonally with his right blade.

 

This attack was blocked much to the surprise of Aoshi with a gentle fist strike to the blade with her free hand smashing the boken to pieces. Aoshi jumped back and smiled.

 

“Very good but with a real blade that would have been a very foolish move. This will end with my next attack. You will not know my location even with your powerful eyes…RyÅ«sui no Ugoki.”

 

Aoshi began running around Hinata picking up speed as she watched him through her Byakugan. After a few moments Aoshi had achieved such speed that he was virtually popping in and out of existence to those without any Doujutsu. To Hinata herself he was simply a blur between movement and movement and was becoming very confusing. As she thought about what to she felt a pain in the back of her neck as her eyes rolled up into the back of her head as she drifted into unconsciousness.

 

“Medic….” A medic went over and checked Hinata before carrying her off to the sidelines to rest. Iruka raised his score cards, Three for Aoshi and three for Hinata. Next was Mizuki, they read the same. The Hokage's also read the same. Both candidates did very well for genin hopefuls.

 

Next up was Nazomishi Mitsukoi vs Ino Yamanaka

 

Nazomishi walked onto the floor and bowed to Ino who stood there.

 

“This fight is for you Sasuke kun!” Ino was being her normal self, trying to impress Sasuke, blowing him a kiss as she entered the stage. Nazomishi had left his blades with Rei and neglected obtaining the boken saying it was unfair to use Kenjutsu against one without a blade.

 

“ You ready to fight fangirl?” Nazomishi smirked behind his mask hoping to draw her into an actual fight. A vein grew in her forehead at the statement.

 

“Your just jealous your not as great at Sasuke!”

 

“Hmmm, I thought Sakura was suppose to be the one with the big forehead?” Ino's eyes widened in anger as she leaped forward throwing a punch at his face. Nazomishi was visibly smiling behind his mask as he smashed his left elbow into her punch causing Ino to scream at the immense pain in her wrist. Continuing with one fluid motion Nazomishi fallowed with raising knee to her chest throwing Ino through the air across the arena floor.

 

He stood waiting for her to stand from his attacks motioning for her to bring it with his left hand.

 

“Nazo is enjoying this way too much isn't he Aoshi?” Rei commented while maintaining her attention on the battle.

 

“No he just wants her to fight for herself and not to impress some boy.”

 

“Still…” She felt the degree to which he was dominating the match was going a little overboard these were kids after all.

 

“So will you make a real effort to fight me or should I end this pathetic game.”

 

“You! If Sasuke were fighting you would have lost already.”

 

“Perhaps, but this is a fight between you and me. In the world of Shinobi there is nothing but the opposing sides and until the battle is over anything outside of the match is insignificant. So are you going to fight me or continue daydreaming that a knight in shining armor is going to fight all your fights for you.”

 

“I…” She was stunned, no one had ever dared to say something like that to her before. And yet… he was right. Was she going to be a Shinobi or was she going to sit and be a helpless maiden.

 

“Fine!” Ino screamed as she stood up and began to charge throwing a kick to his neck. Nazomishi didn't budge even as the kick hit square on target.

 

”Huh?” Ino thought as she looked on in shock at how little damage that move did.`That's impossible, my kick hit him right in the neck. He should be on the floor right now!'

 

“Now that's more like it.” He muttered as he grabbed her leg and threw her across the room. Nazomishi walked forward a few steps yanking his head from side to side creating an audible popping sound. A few feet later he laced his fingers together and began popping them as well. “Enough with the warm up.”

 

“Enough this match is over.” The judges held the scores and both passed with Nazomishi having a perfect nine.

 

“The next match is…”

 

 

---Sarutobi's office---

 

“Hokage sama Hatake Kakashi is here for his report.”

 

“Good send him in.” Sarutobi knew this would be an interesting. For the past six years Kakashi had sent him reports clearly lacking in the information he had asked for. All it really included was the kind of training they were doing and some of the progress along with some details on their techniques. Yes Sarutobi was very glad he sent the shadow clone to act as a judge in the exams so he could see their skills first hand. This on the other hand is the report he has been waiting to hear since the mission began.

 

Kakashi stepped into the room only to be introduced by a breathtaking wave of killing intent radiating directly from the Hokage himself. `Damn I knew I should have made those reports more detailed…'

 

“KAKASHI! I thought I told you to report on what the boys did and what they were like not what they worked on! I wanted them to progress yes, but there is no way in hell one paragraph of their basic practices a week is what I asked for!”

 

“…eh heh…um… I can explain?” Kakashi choked out hoping the powerful old man wouldn't kill him where he stood. Oh how well he knew he could.

 

“This better be good.” Sarutobi laced his fingers and rested his chin on his thumbs with the rest of his fingers partially covering his mouth.

 

“Well you see, once we got to the fourth's house I decided to test their current abilities. Not much longer they told me that they knew why you sent me with them.” Sarutobi had expected this at some point but the first day part made his eye twitch a bit.

 

“They stopped me and decided to explain some things about themselves first…”

 

“What exactly were these things?” Well at least he could get everything he needed from this encounter, and seeing one of his top Anbu Captains squirming like this was well worth seeing.

 

“Before I continue I must say a few things in their defense.”

 

`Defense? This can't be good if they need defending.' “Proceed.”

 

“In the time I have come to know them I know a few things about them that I believe should be paramount in your decisions regarding them. These people are among the few I would entrust my life completely and without thought. They are loyal and trustworthy and would never do anything, which would potentially harm the innocent. Over the past few years they have become far more than simply students. They have become trustworthy friends like I had when my team was alive.” Kakashi's statement was warm and heartfelt. Despite how corny it may have sounded it was true. They were not the kids Sarutobi believed them to be and Kakashi knew it first hand.

 

`This is good, even if they don't care about the village they will be loyal to Kakashi.'

 

“With that said I must say they hold no true loyalty to any one nation. Their loyalty in the end lies with their values and their friends. They are loyal to Konoha largely because of you and the many kind Shinobi who reside within Konoha. Anyone who upholds their values will have an ally of such raw power that enemies will cower in fear of their name. Those who oppose it… I believe will find their ruin to be swift and unforgiving.” This was most certainly shocking, what children could be spoken of in this manor. Even Itachi never received praise like this till he joined Anbu.

 

“You speak of them as if they were gods. This is most unlike you Kakashi. Even you never spoke this way of the Yondaime.” Kakashi looked to the ground hoping Sarutobi wouldn't take what he was about to say too hard.

 

“What they do is for the sake of this world. It is for this reason I must beg you do not pursue any further explanation of our actions.” Sarutobi immediately stood from his chair screaming his next words.”

 

“This is ridiculous Kakashi what in the name of the Shinigami could have you so spooked for you to speak in this manor? These are children, granted abnormal but children none the less.”

 

“They know of the future, a future so dark before the light immerges that all will seem hopeless. They are no mere children and their plan to save us will only work if we do not interfere.” Kakashi had heard the story of this world, there were many nights they would sit around a campfire and Nazomishi would tell them the events of this world as they would come. Some were quite frightening, especially the way he was suppose to die.

 

“Save us?” Sarutobi was absolutely dumbfounded at Kakashi's words. Knowing the future? How the hell could three children know the future. Even if they could what sort of supposedly avertable catastrophe could possibly spook an Anbu enough to hide information from a Kage.

 

“They have only requested that I keep the information from you. I am sorry Master Sarutobi but all I will permit myself to say is they only know one line of time. If anyone were to change anything major their knowledge would be useless. For that reason I must refuse to answer anything further. I am sorry.

 

“….” Sarutobi's pipe fell from his mouth as he looked on in shock. What could he have seen for such a result? This is one of his most trusted Shinobi sitting here begging not to divulge information on three children, CHILDREN! This knowing the future part was most troubling.

 

“Very well Kakashi. If you trust them this much then I have no choice but to trust you as well.” Sarutobi stood up as he received information on the exams from his clone making an interesting note about Nazomishi's encounter with Ino. “But if anything they do results in the ruin of Konoha it will fall on your head.”

 

“…Thank you Sarutobi Sama.” It was an awful burden to carry but he new it must be done.

 

“Answer me one thing though.” Sarutobi asked as Kakashi was about to turn to leave.

 

“Sir?”

 

“How strong are they? I have the other two pushing Chuunin level and possibly Jounin material within a year or two. How strong are they?”

 

“I have never seen their true ability but what I can say is their Kenjutsu coupled with their speed was more than enough to take me down in their first real test. They had no clue of jutsu before but now they know upwards of a hundred Jutsu a piece and Nazomishi's Fuuinjutsu skills could surpass Jiraiya's one day. Best estimate, I would say they could give the Sannin a good run for their money if they pulled all the stops. Perhaps not with their Jutsu skills but with their bloodlines and speed I have no doubt in my mind.”

 

“Kage level at their age? Kakashi this is nonsense!

 

“I assure you it is true. They yield abilities and bloodlines of such power it is unspeakable. Remember Itachi?”

 

“…Can you tell me… these… bloodlines.” Sarutobi was quite serious. It wasn't very often potentially new bloodlines joined the village, certainly not ones like that.

 

“Nazomishi's body has the unique ability to absorb metal and add it to his physical build up. Anything he has absorbed can be manipulated or controlled with relatively little difficulty. At this point controlling numerous objects or very large ones is a great strain for his body, and chakra reserves. Still his physical ability and chakra levels are far beyond normal. His physical ability is greatly enhanced by his metal bones and muscles. He is intensely strong and he can use his ability to control metal to enhance his speed and reaction times to well above what most normal people are capable of. In short his body is super human. I would place his healing rate with any assistance at the equivalent of having a medic nin working on him. If he wants to he can regenerate lost limbs or reattach anything he looses, given enough time and chakra. It takes a great deal of chakra but unless it's instantly fatal he can probably regenerate it assuming he is willing to use that much chakra.”

 

“Exactly how much chakra?”

 

“Enough to have killed me a few years ago.”

 

“So his reserves are that large. How can his body handle it?”

 

“That isn't quite so abnormal. Some of the books they brought along held some interesting techniques for increasing chakra reserves. Some are a little dangerous but just like Naruto's body can handle the Kyuubi's energy, so can anyone's grow to hold their own. Using the techniques I myself have more than tripled my reserves since training with them.”

 

“I want those books as soon as possible. Understood?” Tripling a Jounin's chakra levels, now that was interesting. Sarutobi remembered something about a book like that from his training with the Nidaime, but somehow it had been misplaced years ago. He had assumed it was lost or destroyed since it wasn't part in the forbidden vault.

 

“Yes sir, they are part of the library after all. Why they were labled in the section they were I don't know but I will retrieve it as soon as possible. I returned it this morning. Anyway Rei, she is…pyrokenetic. Her ability with fire is well beyond anything I have very seen. Her Katon jutsu burn as hot or hotter than any I have ever seen used. Then she can control it. Given enough emotion she can create fire without the use of chakra. Her strength is ridiculous for someone her age. Not quite up to Nazomishi's but its certainly enough to harm him, even with his metal body. We have been using weight training as I have told you in my messages.” The Hokage simply glared at Kakashi with a serous face, not that happy with all Kakashi had left out in his messages.

 

“…hehe…um…yea, the best way do describe her is a kind person with a hot temper when you figure out what annoys her. The more emotional she gets the less control she has over her power. When she's calm and collected the degree and speed at which she can use her powers would frighten most fire users. Fire swords, shuriken, kunai, arrows, can be created in such number at such a rate that it is hard to keep up. She can fly for a short period of time by producing a significant amount of fire at her feet. All I can really say is just don't get her mad. I wouldn't be surprised if she could take out a good portion of the Konoha if you got her mad enough.”

 

“How is she managing this anger?”

 

“It's nothing like that sir. Konoha will have nothing to fear so long as it doesn't go around killing their friends. Whoever does…”

 

“Is screwed over, I think I get it. Continue.”

 

Then there's Aoshi. He's calm and driven, more so than Nazomishi at least in calmness. His ability is Ice. His powers are much like Rei's. He can manipulate temperatures to a respectable degree without chakra. Larger skills and more devastating ones consume a ridiculous amount of chakra. Both have done similar chakra training. I must say the chakra training at such a young age is far more effective than it is for a fully developed body. As for his skills, most seem to be icy versions of Rei's though he is a bit more skilled with a sword, not that it would do him much good against her.”

 

“I'm going to dread asking this.” Sarutobi stated while rubbing his forehead. “Their weaknesses?”

 

“Well I wouldn't try it but I guess that wouldn't hurt anything. Nazomishi is of course metal so any jutsu that could cause accelerated rusting would probably hurt him. Other than that all you could really do is hit him hard and fast, though he would probably seal or avoid most the stuff you throw at him. Concentrate damage at the vital points, particularly the heart and brain. Unless you can wear down his stamina or make him to something stupid and waste all his chakra then instant death is the way to go. Not that it's anything I could do. Their mind reading ability is extraordinary.

 

The obvious vulnerability for Rei is water, Lots of it. If you cant get in a sneak attack with a suiton Jutsu then she will simply evaporate it. She also heals a bit faster than normal, and uses her ability to seal any major wounds to prevent bleeding. She has taken a great fancy to medical jutsu and is well on her way to rivaling Tsunade. Granted she will need a great many years worth of training to be on par with her. Aoshi fills his wounds with ice to prevent bleeding. He has also learned some water based healing techniques, but his are most self-healing techniques like Nazomishi's. All would prove exceedingly difficult to assassinate. Together I don't think all of Anbu could stop them. Like your students they are essentially a three-man army. I can only assume their allies are no different.”

 

“Are you sure you're not under a genjutsu? You must admit this is all rather… crazy, even in this world.”

 

“I assure you, I am as sane as the day I became Jounin. I have checked myself several times with my eye and I can say with one hundred percent accuracy. I am not under the effect of any illusion.”

 

“Then we must make it a point to keep them as our allies. Could you explain what these values you say they hold?”

 

“They believe strongly in the ideal that killing one evil can save a thousand innocents. They are very forgiving and try to find the good in others but destroy anything they consider evil without remorse. To them the value of an innocent life is priceless and the possibility of returning one caught in darkness to the light is a rare and worth wile opportunity. If they see a glimpse of good in someone they would work day and night until they can bring them out of their despair and eliminate anything holding them to their sins.”

 

“You are dismissed Kakashi, I will call for you if I can think of anything else.” `That settles it, these are no children…but what are they?' The Hokage tapped his foot below his desk and pulled out a hidden bottle of saki. I'm going to need a bigger bottle.”

 

 

--- Back at the academy---

 

The Taijutsu portion was finally over and everyone was excited for the final portion to be under way. For many, especially the ones who failed the Taijutsu portion miserably, this was their last opportunity to become genin without repeating this year. Now they were all back in Iruka's classroom awaiting the final portion of the test.

 

“Alright now that everyone is here it's time for the final portion of the test. For this portion you will come to the front of the class and henge into one person selected by me. Afterwards you must create at least three viable bushin.” One student raised his hand with a question.

 

“Yes Naruto what is it?”

 

“Can they be Kage Bushin?”

 

“Stop joking around Naruto that's a Jounin level jutsu.”

 

“Sensei, Sarutobi sensei taught it to Naruto. His chakra levels are far above normal and are so high that creating normal clones are near impossible for him.”

 

“Sasuke? Alright fine but if your joking you fail.” Naruto grinned with satisfaction knowing he would pass for sure. “Now Choji Akamichi.” Choji came down and preformed the necessary jutsu before returning to his seat and opening a new bag of chips.

 

Things progressed down the line with everyone worth mentioning performing them perfectly. In fact all five students who knew the Kage Bushin used it instead of the normal one since it was acceptable.

 

Finally after the entirety of the class had gone it was Naruto's turn. He slowly walked down to the floor earning a few annoyed looks from various fangirls wondering why Sasuke never stood up for them in anything. The mental questions should have been self answering. They simply never did anything worth backing up.

 

“Alright Naruto transform into the Hokage.”

 

“Alright sensei, watch this!” A poof of smoke appeared and there stood a perfect replica of the Sandaime Hokage.

 

“Very good Naruto the detail is very accurate, now on to the Bushin.” Naruto smirked loving the prank he was about to pull

 

“hehe Tajuu Kage Bushin no Jutsu!” Suddenly shadow clones of Naruto adorned the room standing on desks, sitting on heads and bursting the seams of the room out into the hall.

 

A struggling Iruka struggled to breath as he forced out “ALRIGHT NARUTO ENOUGH ALREADY!” And with that the hundreds of clones burst from existence permitting everyone to breath again. Little did Naruto know his little prank also knocked Hinata out with Naruto overload.

 

“Now that I can breath again” Iruka glanced coldly at Naruto for a moment. “Everyone who passed come forward and receive your headbands. Tomorrow you will report outside the main gate to the academy to receive your team assignments. Good luck!”

 

With that everyone was filing out of the room, heading home. Well most everyone Sakura was hanging back bugging Ino about what happened in the exam.

 

“Guess that means your going to stop chasing Sasuke kun?”

 

“No chance forehead girl all that meant was I could stand up for myself. I don't know why but when he said that something clicked. How am I suppose to become a strong Konoichi if I'm always making the excuse that Sasuke will save me.”

 

“Well I guess you have a point there.”

 

“Besides I think I figured out something Sasuke said.”

 

“Said, Oh my God you talked to him alone! Come on what did he say!”

 

“Its nothing he said to me, he said it in class one day not too long ago. He said to leave him alone till we could gain his respect.”

 

“Not too long ago. I don't remember anything like that.”

 

“I didn't either but when that guy said what he did it made me remember. What if Sasuke is annoyed by us constantly chasing after him?”

“Oh come on Ino its Sasuke he's always saying stuff like that.”

 

“Have you ever wondered if he meant it?”

 

“I…”

 

 

Not too far away a figure was clinging to a sealing by his feet dangling from the rafters listening to the chatter. “Good, at least one of them is thinking. Funny though I though Sakura would have been the first to figure it out.” He mumbled to himself so no one else could hear. `…' He soon sensed a figure approaching . “Sasuke? Didn't think I would see you out here.”

 

“I wanted to say congrats on graduating you really did a number on Ino. We got quite a kick out of it.” Sasuke smirked remembering the event.

 

“Yea but at least she's thinking.”

 

“Like I care.”

 

“Come on, I can sense you like one of them and by the looks of it the one is Sakura.” Sasuke tried to cover a light blush before regaining control of himself. “ I knew it.”

 

“Oh come on like I would fall for that banshee.”

 

“She's only a banshee because she is too caught up in her fangirlism.”

 

“If only she wasn't so annoying.”

 

“Hopefully Ino's little revelation may get her thinking.”

 

“Your mind reading is so annoying.”

 

“I know don't you love it.” Nazomishi gave a massive grin rivaling one of Naruto's best. “By the way she's on your team.”

 

“SHE'S WHAT!” Not too far away a pink haired Konoichi sneezed as she heard a feint scream off in the distance. “What was that about? I hope nobody's talking about me.”

 

“So who's my sensei?”

“Trying to change the subject huh?”

 

“Shut up.”

 

“Ok sorry… so touchy. Anyway its Kakashi.”

 

“The guy you trained with why not Hayate?”

 

“My group has him, you get Kakashi because of his Shaingan.”

 

“Oh Sharingan Kakashi, I forgot about that title. Any clue how he got it?”

 

“His team captain was the Yondaime. His teammates were Obito and Ren. Obito was an Uchiha and Ren was a medic nin. It's sad but Obito was a lot like Naruto, they lost him on a mission when Kakashi wanted to complete the mission instead of saving Ren who got captured. In the end they were together again but Obito got trapped under a boulder from an earth jutsu.”

 

“So Obito died, what happened, did Kakashi take it for himself. Sounds like a power-hungry bastard to me. Not wanting to save his friend.”

 

“Kakashi had recently become a Jounin and Obito was the only one not to give him a promotion present. When Obito laid there dieing his last wish was for Ren to transplant the newly formed Sharingan into the eye socked where Kakashi lost his left eye earlier in the battle. He was a very abnormal Uchiha. Reluctantly she agreed. Still it drains his chakra rapidly when he uses it and he cannot deactivate it so he always wears his head protector over his left eye. He's not one to say so but the reason he is always late is because he daily mourns the loss of his best friend Obito, visiting the grave every morning. I suggest you try to be an hour late when it's not urgent. He will always be.” Sasuke's sweat dropped at the last statement.

 

“You mean the guy's always late?” Sasuke placed particular stress on always, praying it wasn't that bad.

 

“Every morning.”

 

“Then why doesn't he set a later time or visit at night.”

 

“No clue.”

 

“You have got to be kidding me you're the mind reader.” Nazomishi smiled.

 

“I lied, I just wont tell it's for you to figure out.” Nazomishi gave a big toothy grin beneath his mask and poofed away.

 

“grrr…”

 

 

 

Chapter notes: I know many of you were probably looking forward to seeing Sasuke and Naruto fight in the exam… sorry but I'm saving the introduction of their skills for the Real Genin exam.
