Ibiki looked blankly at the three kids standing in front of his desk. They couldn't be more than five. He recognized two of them.

The first as Naruto Uzumaki, the nine tailed fox's Jinchuriki. Any ninja worth his or her salt would know about the blond haired blue eyed boy.

The second was definitely an Uchiha, the clan mark and facial features made it obvious.

The third one was probably the most eye catching one to strangers, who wouldn't stop and stare at a mop of pink haired? And coupled with the girl's soft green eyes Ibiki was sure she could make a dangerous seductress once she's older.

The three kept peering at them with what most would describe as innocent eyes filled with a childish view on things, but Ibiki could see a glint in those eyes, and it was anything but innocent.

Ibiki briefly wondered who in their right mind let these three kids in the T&I building, let alone directed them to his office on the top floor. He had some people to punish or fire.

Their unblinking gaze had started to get annoying for Ibiki. Especially since the blond had a mischief glint in his eyes while the raven head seemed to almost throw a fit.

"What do you want?" he finally grunt, his voice intimidating

"You" the three answered in unison making one think it was planned

"Why?" Ibiki asked arching his eyebrows, it wasn't everyday that little kids came looking for him after all, so even he would admit that he was mildly interested

The three kids shared a glance before the pink haired one stepped forward, a polite smile on her features "We would like to request an apprenticeship under you"

Ibiki couldn't help but snort in amusement, this had to be some kind of joke, right? There was no way three kids would just randomly come and ask him to train them. Especially not an Uchiha nor the Jinchuriki.

"Looks like he's not taking us seriously, dattebayo" Naruto mumbled

"Hn" Sasuke agreed

Sakura's smile became strained as she asked "Is something wrong sir?"

"I really needed that, tell whoever set you three up for this to try something more believable next time" Ibiki ordered

"I'm afraid we don't understand, Naruto, Sasuke and I came here of our free will to learn the ways of being both a shinobi and a torture and interrogation specialist. Please take us seriously sir" Sakura smoothly said

Ibiki himself could admit that the girl was good with words despite being only a kid, he looked at the three again. His eyes surveying their determined stances and their eyes filled with something he could describe as ambitions. Even he could see that these three were going places, that they were going to go far. He didn't detect a hint of lie from the girl.

"Why me?" he asked finally placing the files he was working on down

The three kids shared a glance, finally the Uchiha looked at him, "You're our safest and most beneficial choice according to Sakura"

The blond nodded in agreement "And Sakura-chan's smart!"

Ibiki's eyes once again fell to the pink haired girl as she bit her thumb with a calculating look "So?" The head of the T&I asked impatiently

"Morino isn't a clan name, nor anything like that. We were specifically avoiding clans for Naruto's sake, people would think that a clan might be trying to influence Naruto seeing as he's the Jinchuriki"

The air suddenly grew tense, "How do you three know?"

"We'd rather not say" Naruto spoke up

"The Hokage already knows that we know" Sasuke helpfully added

"Aside from avoiding those rumors and degrading clan reputations, Sasuke has a higher chance of activating his Sharingan in this environment. And finally I just don't care as long as we can get stronger" Sakura finished

"That's the jist of it!" Naruto grinned showing off his pearly white teeth

"Hmm, and does the Hokage know about this?" Ibiki asked resting his elbows on the desk, his chin placed on his intertwined hands

"Of course! We tell the Hokage everything, he's practically family to me!" Naruto sounded hurt by Ibiki's lack of trust

But Ibiki understood, it was a common known fact that the Hokage always checked up on the young Uzumaki.

His eyes once again surveyed the three in front of him. Only a blind could fail to notice the raw potential each of them oozed out. Ibiki could swear blind to the day he dies that these three were going to become legends. He wasn't wrong...

"What's your names?" he asked

"Naruto Uzumaki, dattebayo!" Naruto grinned fist pumping the air

Sakura twirled a strand of her pink hair giving a polite bow "Sakura Haruno, pleased to meet you"

"Sasuke Uchiha" the raven head quietly said sticking his hands in his pocket, he had a scowl on his face that only made him look more childish.

"From now on call be Ibiki-sensei" Ibiki ordered

The three blinked at him, once again surprising him by giving him a big smile. Even the Uchiha one did.

"We won't disappoint you!" they chorused in unison

Ibiki let a smirk play on his lips, "There will be no disappointing anything in here, and there won't be any of your childish antics. Asking me to become your teacher is the same as asking a death god."

He gave the three an unnerving smile

"That being said, welcome to hell"

To be continued...

A/N : This story is a challenge from a close friend of mine, this usually isn't my style, but I thought it'd be interesting. As you all may see this story is a different take on the Naruto series. How come Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura know each other as kids in this story will be explained in later chapters. This is a darker take on the Naruto series, which is why it's rated M, along with other content...*cough*sex*cough*
