We're back with another chapter.

Anyone who read the last chapter, you saw that I said the Kumo kidnapping did happen. That was actually a typo. It was supposed to say the Kumo kidnapping didn't happen.

I'm sorry to those how we're expecting some little story on that event.

So, let's get this chapter started.

It was finally time. After two years of boring academy days, today was the day that teams would be pick out of those who passed.

Just before she walked into the classroom, he looked at the list of student who passed. As his eyes traveled at the names, there was one name that he could not ignore. That name was Naruto Pariah. After the first week passed in Konoha, he was excelling at an unnatural rate. When it came to ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu, it was like he was Kami. He would perform B to A rank ninjutsu without any hand signs at all. He would perform Genjutsu's that not even Kurenai could break. It was even known that he broke the sunset genjutsu that Might Guy and Rock Lee make when they always man hug.

The fact that he broke that genjutsu even made Kurenai begging to teach her on genjutsu. Naruto replied with a no.

But taijutsu was a whole different matter. His taijutsu was something that could say, 'out of this world.' Naruto taijutsu was something he created himself. He called it the rokushiki. It was a taijutsu that brings out the unlimited potential of the human body. The taijutsu caught the attention of Might Guy, the greatest taijutsu sensei that Konoha has. When Might Guy first confronted Naruto, Naruto challenged him to an all out fight.

At first, Guy said no as he didn't want to hurt the kid. But as soon as he said that, Naruto went on a two-hour rant about the flames of youth. At the end of the rant, Guy was crying waterfalls of tears and accepted. So many people who saw and heard all that sweat dropped at that little, but interaction. Both Guy and Naruto went to a random training and begun their fight.

30 minutes later. We see Guy on the ground, his clothes torn up. He was battered and bruised. While Naruto was standing above with a look of boredom. They were some dirt on him, but he dusted it off and disappeared to his penthouse. Little did he know, that their fight caught the attention of many civilians and ninjas. It was something that they could not forget.

Iruka shook his head as he remembered that he had to walk into class. Once he walked into class, he saw that almost every student was excitedly chatting with one another.

Seeing the uncontained energy and excitement of his students, Iruka could only smile at them. Until they were ignoring the fact that the bell had rung. "Alright everyone, SIT DOWN AND QUIET!" Implementing his village renown Kyotou no Jutsu, his students immediately quieted down and finally focused their attention to him. "Good, now that I have your attention I'll be naming the squads that the Hokage has assigned you to."

"Where's Mizuki-sensei?" One of the civilian students asked.

"That is confidential information. So I don't know." But in actuality, knew what happened. The day Mizuki took the forbidden scroll, was also the day that caused his life to end. He remembers how now Naruto suddenly appeared in a flash of light. How Naruto grabbed his throat and turned him into a mummified man. Iruka could say nothing for what he just saw. Someone dying like that made him throw up. He's seen some kills before, but that was sick. Not wanting to remember what happened next, Iruka began the team placements.

Starting with the students with limited skill sets, the squad list slowly approached the rounded genin. "Team 7 will consist of: Menma, Mito and Narumi Uzumaki-Namikaze. Your sensei Kakashi Hatake " At that moment, many groans and complaints rang out about the newly dubbed 'Strongest Team', 'Team Hokage's Kids'. Most were about the loss of their crush to be on their team. Though the genin involved only let their heads pound the desk the unfortunate luck of having to stick with and deal with their siblings even when out on missions, and of having to deal with their perverted and habitually late older brother figure. While Naruto huffed in boredom as he didn't want the lapdog to be his sensei.

After quieting down the class once more, Iruka continued. "Team 8 will consist of: Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame. Your sensei, Kurenai Yūhi. Team 9 is still active. Team 10 will consist of: Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi. Your sensei, Asuma Sarutobi." At that, Ino practically broke the desk she was at when her head slammed onto it. Crying about how she was put on the worst possible team, while behind her Shikamaru muttered a quiet "Mendōkusei".

His eye twitching slightly at the rude behavior of his student, Iruka could only sigh before continuing. "Team 11 will consist of: Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Sai. Your sensei, Genma Shiranui." Though, he was once again interrupted when Sakura rose out of her seat and flashed a victory sign at Ino claiming that the power of love prevails over all obstacles, as Sasuke let his head drop.

For the final time, Iruka could only drop his head at his student's behavior before calling out the final team. "The final team will be Team 12, which will consist of: Yakumo Kurama, Satsuki Uchiha, and Naruto Pariah. Your sensei, Anko Mitarashi." At that, the class went deathly quiet and some slowly turned their eyes towards the back where their most distant classmate sat. Naruto looked at the two girls and looked away. Of course, the lull was broken when Iruka announced that their sensei's would be coming to pick them up soon.

As soon as that statement left his mouth, Kurenai arrived to pick up her team. Following her were Asuma and Genma. Left in the room were Team 7 and 12, Team 7 already knowing that they had a long wait ahead of them. After half an hour, the window flew open, followed by a kunai attached to a banner that read "The great and sexy Anko Mitarashi has arrived", as a smoke bomb went off. Out of the smoke emerged Anko wearing her signature grin and glint in her eyes.

"So you're Anko Mitarashi?"

"Of course I am!"

"Hmph. I wouldn't... expect too much from you." Naruto looked outside the window.

Anko was looking intently at him, analyzing his mind see what she learn about him. Naruto knew what she was doing, and decided to put up thousand of mental barriers to keep her out. "Well, which of you brats belong to me! If you're a part of my team, then we're meeting at training ground 12 in 15 minutes! Don't be late or I'll hunt you down, on second thought please be late! It'll make thinks more fun for me! Ja ne!" After saying her part, she jumped out the window but kept a keen eye on Naruto. After processing what just happened, Naruto let out a sigh as he stood up and walked out the door towards the training ground. Seeing their teammate leave, Satsuki and Yakumo followed him out the door leaving Team 7 behind.

(Scene change - Training ground 12)

Arriving with 3 minutes left to spare, Satsuki, and Yakumo stood awkwardly as they waited for their sensei to arrive. While Naruto was looking directly at a tree. But they didn't have to wait long, as a pouting Anko dropped from the tree that Naruto was looking at.

"You brats are no fun at all, it would've been more interesting and fun if I had to find and drag you here. But oh well, why don't we get to know each other!" Anko happily said, but instead of a quick response she got blank stares while Naruto just rolled his eyes. He even rolled his third eye even though he covered it with his headband. But that was quickly broken when Yakumo raised her hand to ask a question.

"Umm, Anko-sensei, could you begin? I don't think that we know the proper way to introduce ourselves." Yakumo asked, unsure on how to break the ice with her new team. But her concerns were eliminated as her sensei gave a grin and started things off.

"Well, I'm Anko Mitarashi as you all know! My likes are snakes, Orochimaru-sensei, my best friend Kurenai, dango, poison, sharp things, and reading! My hate perverts, rapists, people who act like they're superior to others, bad dango, and a boring book. My hobbies are working at the T&I Division and hanging out with my friends. And my goal is to one day surpass Orochimaru-sensei as his apprentice! Now that I'm done, why don't you go next since you asked!" After her introduction, Anko turned towards Yakumo and decided that she was the next one to introduce herself.

"I'm Yakumo Kurama, nice to meet all of you. My likes are reading, training with my tutor Kurenai-sensei, reading, mochi and being with my family. I also hate perverts, rapists, people who mock others for stupid reasons or reasons outside of their control, and people who look down on genjutsu users. My hobbies are cooking, gardening, flower arranging and training. My goal is to repay Minato and Kushina-sama for sealing off the Ido and giving me back my life, and to surpass Kurenai-sensei as a genjutsu master." Yakumo stated with a small fire burning in her eyes towards the end. After her introduction, Anko pointed towards the scowling Satsuki.

"Nice to meet you Yakumo-chan! So you're the one that Nai-chan always talks about huh! Why don't you go next Miss Sunshine!" As Yakumo blushed slightly, Satsuki growled at Anko and received a grin in return.

"I'm Satsuki Uchiha. My likes are training, reading, cooking and gardening. I hate are perverts, rapists, weaklings, useless people, and people who break their promises. My hobbies are pretty much the same as my likes. And my goal is to surpass my brother Itachi as a ninja and my mother as a woman." Satsuki said in her usual snarky tone though it turned surprisingly bashful when she mentioned surpassing her mother as a woman.

Smirking at her, Anko finally pointed to the only male member of the squad and gestured him to begin. "Alright, well the ladies are done so why don't you introduce yourself, Kid!" Half expecting a twitching of the eyebrows or a glare, Anko was a little suprised when all she received was a scoff from Naruto.

"My name is Naruto Pariah. I like two people. I hate everyone in konoha, including you three. My hobby is showing people that I am Kami. My goal and my dreams are one and the same. I will destroy Konoha and the Uzumaki Namikaze as they, this village, and everyone here is a stepping stone to greatness." Introducing himself in his usual high and mighty attitude, Naruto finished his introduction. Though, his goal caused quite a stir within his squad, all of them knew that he hated something but to speak of something that big without a care in the world showed he was serious.

"Well, now that most of us have introduced ourselves," she shot Naruto a critical look. "you're still not truly genin of the leaf yet. You all still have one more test that you need to get through before you're field ready! So, tomorrow! Meet back here at 10 am sharp and don't eat any breakfast, I promise you that you'll just see it again within the hour!" With that, Anko disappeared in a swirl of leaves using the Shunshin no Jutsu.

After their sensei left, Satsuki and Yakumo gave each other a glance. They weren't on the best terms but weren't on the worst either. Most of this stemmed from Satsuki and Mito's rivalry, Yakumo somehow getting caught in the middle. However, they were on a team now so it was in their best interest to get along, at least that was Yakumo's train of thought.

"Satsuki, I know that we're not best friends or friends at all, so why don't we start now since we're on a team now?" Yakumo asked, hoping that she'd accept her offer of friendship.

Satsuki really wanted to just leave and go home to train or cook or do something other than getting along with of Mito's friends, but she knew that she'd get an earful from her parents and older brother if she didn't at least try to get to know her, so she just sighed and accepted. "Sure, whatever. Just don't try and be all chummy with me, we're not friends just teammates. And don't tell Mito either, I'd rather not hear her complain about how I'm stealing her best friend."

Nodding to Satsuki, they two began to head towards the center of the village, but before they left the training ground, they froze. Remembering that they had one more teammate, they turned around to see that he was already walking away reading a scroll. Looking at each other, they didn't know what they should do, though they settled on trying to invite him, considering how that was the most that they've heard him talk so they assumed that it would be alright to ask.

"Naruto, do you want to come get dinner with us? We might as well considering we're all on a team now, so we should try to get along." Yakumo asked as they managed to catch up to the multi-colored hair kid. However, she was met with silence as he was too engrossed in his scroll to notice her and Satsuki. While Yakumo was a little amused, having had moments where she also tuned out the world when reading, Satsuki didn't take being ignored too kindly. Growling while she stomped towards him, she grabbed his shoulder and forced him to stop.

Naruto just completely ignored her without a care in the world.

"Are you deaf?! We've been trying to get your attention for the past minute! Geez, why did I have to be paired with someone like you? At least pair me up with someone from the Uzumaki-Namikaze family, Menma would've been better, I'd even settle for Mito." As Satsuki went on a tangent, Naruto could only stare at her with an annoyed expression, as Yakumo sighed beside her. Having had enough of her rambling, Naruto kiss her on the cheek. The reaction was almost instantaneous as she snapped out of her rambling immediately.

"Wha-What are you doing you idiot! Just don't kiss me whenever you feel like it you pervert!" Satsuki shouted, her cheeks tinged red with embarrassment and anger. It was then that Yakumo decided to step in before things got even more complicated than they already were.

"Naruto, Satsuki and I wanted to know if you wanted to get dinner together to celebrate our new status as a team and to get to know each other better. So will you come with us?" Yakumo asked politely, hoping that he'd accept their offer. They got their answer when the scroll he was reading disappeared in a puff of smoke and he stared at them with his ever blank eyes.

"Sure, why not. I might as well get to know to two. Who knows, I might start dating you two."

After that, a confident faced Naruto, a wryly laughing Yakumo, and a scowling pink-faced Satsuki enter a popular barbecue restaurant to get to know each other better. For the better portion of the night, there were laughs heard from the booth as the three or rather Yakumo and Satsuki exchanged stories from their past while Naruto choose to remain silent as he didn't have many fond memories that he was willing to share, though he did share a story about an incident he was involved in that included a corrupt merchant, bees, honey, ants, paint, a bikini, and cameraman.

He didn't expect the normally brooding and scowling Satsuki to burst out laughing and snorting as tears began to fall from her eyes or the reserved and polite Yakumo to laugh so much that she started crying with her sides hurting. The night ended with the three parting ways, Yakumo and Satsuki in better moods and a small smile gracing their faces.

"In the end, stepping stones are stepping stones." Naruto teleported back to his penthouse.

(Timeskip: morning and scene change: Training ground 12)

As the morning sun laid lazily overhead; Satsuki and Yakumo were sitting under the large sakura tree that laid in the center of the training ground. Satsuki had her scowl on her face though she was sneaking side glances at the only male member of their squad. Yakumo was reading a book, and like Satsuki, she was sneaking glances at Naruto before focusing back to her book and repeating the process. Naruto was standing away from them as he kept looking into the sky. Eventually, the lull of the moment was broken as their sensei made her explosive entrance, literally, as a smoke bomb exploded with her jumping out of it, her signature grin on her face.

"Well looks like you're all ready for the test I assume!" seeing the scowl, small frown, and hearing a scoff; Anko couldn't help but sweatdrop slightly at the less than expressive faces of her students. "Well then, why don't we begin! The test we'll be having is the good old fashion bell test! All you have to do is take a bell from me and you pass! Simple right!" Anko said happily, pulling out 2 silver bells out of her pocket. As soon as they saw the bells, Yakumo voiced the concern that all genin who received the test had.

"Anko-sensei, but they are three of us. Why are there only two bells?" As soon as the words left her mouth, Anko revealed a devious smirk before saying something that instantly set her genin off.

"Because, the one who doesn't manage to get a bell from me is going to go back to the Academy and repeat the whole thing over again!" Anko chirped happily, relishing in the tense and stressed expressions on her genin's faces. Though, she did notice that the only male of the squad had his blank stare still in place.

"Alright then! Let the test, BEGIN!" As soon as she said that, the two female members rushed into the woods leaving her and Naruto behind. Raising an eyebrow, she gave Naruto a confused look. "Umm... You know that you're supposed to hide and plan right?" However, instead of a reply, Naruto fell asleep while standing.

Anko could only gawk at the audacity of the kid, not only did he not answer her, which alone would've involved her using sharp things to make him answer her, he ignored the fact that he had a test going on. Is he really this confident, or just plain stupid. But she was broken from her thoughts as a volley of shuriken forced her to jump back to avoid being hit.

Satsuki was angry, she was angry and tense, most of which came from the stupid test that her sensei had given them. Not only would one of them fail, they'd have to go through the whole Academy again and that was something she wouldn't be taking a part of. After she had hidden in a few meters back, she saw her idiot of a teammate just fell asleep. She knew that he was the best in the Academy, but that didn't mean that he should fall asleep. Not that she cared if he passed anything like that, but then she noticed that his hands were clenched.

After closing the distance between, she started the bout with her sensei off with taijutsu. Anko grinned, seeing that things were finally about to get interesting. Satsuki quickly fell into the rhythm of her clan's Koenken. The key component of the Uchiha clan's taijutsu relied heavily on using one's sharingan to predict the moves of the opponent and respond with quick yet powerful blows hence the name. However, Satsuki not having her sharingan yet, couldn't utilize it to its full extent.

Quickly throwing a flurry of jabs and kicks, Satsuki quickly grew frustrated as Anko avoided each of her attacks like they were nothing. Throwing another hook towards Anko's midsection, Satsuki had her wrist grabbed pulled, knocking her off balance. Responding by twisting her body, she tried to deliver an axe kick but hit air as Anko backed away.

"Well I'll admit gaki, you're not too shabby at your taijutsu, for a genin at least." Anko's taunt seemed to have the intended effect as she saw her student's face flush red.

Growling, Satsuki rushed in again and threw another punch that was deflected, quickly spinning around she a backhand at Anko that she avoided by crouching and sweeping Satsuki off her feet. Regaining her balance, Satsuki quickly went through a series of hand seals that made Anko's eyes go wide.

Finishing the last of the seals, Satsuki glared at Anko before taking in a deep breath. "Katon: goukakyuu no jutsu!" Firing off a quick basketball sized ball of fire that hit Anko and sent her flying back before she was replaced with a gouged out log.

"Whoa, that's one dangerous jutsu gaki! I'd be torn up for sure if I got hit by that! You need to be more caref-" Dropping out of a tree, Anko praised and scolded Satsuki but before she finished a rain of kunai forced her to perform another Kawarimi.

Jumping out of the brush, Yakumo had a kunai in a reverse-grip as she headed towards Satsuki who wasn't happy to see her. "What are you doing here! I don't need your help to get a bell, you saw that I almost had her right there!" Satsuki was really frustrated, being toyed with by her playful sensei didn't sit well with her at all.

"Satsuki, I know that you're frustrated! But please listen to me!" Though her teammate was irritable, Yakumo knew she had to get her to calm down or else they'd all fail. Seeing the angry but now focused face of her teammate, Yakumo began her assessment of the current situation at hand.

"We know that we need to get those bells right? From what we talked about last night, we know that Naruto helps us. Going by his performance in the Academy, it's probably the best to leave him out. That being said, I think we'll be able to get those bells with just the two of us. I don't like leaving him behind, I really don't, but we need to pass. I think will this will work, so here's the plan." Making a guilty face, Yakumo shot a glance towards their still sleeping teammate before relaying the plan she had devised to Satsuki.

To say that she was suprised was an understatement, Satsuki had always thought that Yakumo was someone who was all about being friends with everyone but seeing her leave Naruto out didn't sit well with Satsuki for some reason, but she needed to pass so she agreed to the plan that she created, which was crafty in her opinion.

Seeing that her two students were finished with their group huddle, Anko walked out of the brush with her grin still in place. "Are the two of you time with your little team meeting? Come'on, let's get things going again!"

Satsuki and Yakumo flashed through the hand seals for their respective jutsu, with Satsuki rushing in while Yakumo stayed back.

"Interesting, Satsuki is coming in to apply pressure while Yakumo is most likely setting up a genjutsu to throw me off. Not shabby for a couple of rookies." Thought Anko as she avoided another goukakyuu no jutsu from Satsuki before she heard Yakumo.

"Kanashibari no Jutsu!" Yakumo called out, as Anko felt a slight stiffening in her body as the genjutsu took effect. As Satsuki closed the distance once again, diving low for the bells that were tied to her waist.

As she felt the cool touch of the metal, Satsuki couldn't help but smile as the plan that Yakumo made worked. But as quick as the feeling of success came, it left as Anko grabbed her wrist and locked it behind her back, making Satsuki yelp in pain as she was forced onto the ground.

Yakumo's reaction was the same as Satsuki's, elated that her plan had worked, but her hopes were crushed as their sensei had broken out of her genjutsu and subdued Satsuki without any problems.

Grinning from ear to ear, Anko couldn't help but be impressed by the show of teamwork of the two girls. "That was some good team work girls! Having one of you keep the pressure on me while the other immobilizes me, that was some plan! But then again, it wasn't good enough." As she finished her statement, noticed that the last member of the squad had disappeared, she wasn't the only one as Yakumo and Satsuki had noticed as well.

"Huh, where did the kid go? Did he go home or something?" Anko asked, seeing the confused expressions on her students, she figured that they had no idea either. But as she was about to get off Satsuki and go find him. "Rankyaku: Gaichou" she immediately jumped back to avoid a bird like blade of wind that was going to the head that cut off a few hairs on her head.

Anko was shocked, her eyes wide, she didn't notice him until the last second. If she had been any slower there's no doubt that she'd be hurting or even unconscious.

"Soru!"

After his kick missed, Naruto quickly grabbed Satsuki in a "princess carry", ignoring her shouts to let her go, and jumped back to where Yakumo was. Putting the now scarlet Satsuki, he turned back to Anko and rushed her.

"Fast" was the unanimous thought of the group as Naruto stopped in front of Anko and proceeded to take her on with his taijutsu.

"Jyugon!" Anko quickly blocks the full fist strike, but Naruto continued to use Jyugon

"Damn, he hits fucking hard. And on top of that he's fast, this is getting bad my arms are starting to go numb." Anko grunted feeling the heavy blows of her student as she blocked and parried his attacks, though she was caught off guard as a kick broke through her guard and sent her stumbling back, spittle flying out of her mouth from the heavy blow. Though his assault didn't stop there, as he charged in and slipped in behind her.

Satsuki and Yakumo could only let their mouths hang open as they saw the scene unfolding in front of them. The dead last of their class was holding his own against a jōnin, and the apprentice of Orochimaru no less.

Anko was starting to get pissed, she had underestimated this brat and he was actually starting to push her back, her! The apprentice of one of the Sannin! Catching her balance, she turned around with a kick. "Tekkai!" Naruto stood perfectly still as he let the attack connect, but felt absolutely nothing. Following up, she threw a heavy punch but hand no effect. Not letting him go so easily, she tried to tackle him to the ground. Naruto extended his right index finger. "Ouren!" Naruto jabbed her multiple times in the stomach, causing her spit out blood.

"That fucking hurt gaki, What the hell are you?" Anko questioned him.

Behind the two, Satsuki's face was now in shock at the scene of her sensei beaten like she was nothing. Next to her was Yakumo who couldn't believe her own eyes, her shocked expression match Satsuki's.

But their thought were broken as they heard a ringing. The ringing came from Naruto. Naruto held the two bells in the air. Both his team matches and his sensei looked at him in shock. "I took the bells from you the moment you said start." Naruto informed them, which shock them even more.

"Then why didn't you say anything!?"

"Now you know the might of Kami!"

"Well then! All I have say is... Congrats brats! You all pass!" As she congratulated them, she was asked the question at hand by Satsuki.

"But Anko-Sensei, we haven't decided on who would get the bells yet." Satsuki questioned, knowing that Naruto would probably keep them for himself. She would definitely fight for the bells. "I need to have that second bell, Naruto is going to have to give me that. Sorry Naruto, it's not because I want to be on a team with you or anything, I just don't want to go through the Academy again. Yeah, that's right!"

Riiiiiiiiiiiiggggghhhtt.

While Satsuki was having an internal debate as to her intentions of wanting the bells, Yakumo was having a similar one. "Naruto is definitely keeping the bell for himself. I would really like to get one of them. It would be nice being on a team with someone as reliable as him if he's as skilled as what I saw. But that's not saying Satsuki isn't reliable either!"

However, their inner thoughts were broken by Anko who revealed the true reason behind the test. "That's true, but the real reason for this test was to test your ability to work as a team. At first, you all were going to fail. But with that little stunt you three did, I can see that you all have a future as a pretty powerful squad if we can work out the kinks! So yeah, Team 12 is official!"

As the words left her mouth, Satsuki and Yakumo revealed a dazzling smile while as Anko gave them all a grin. As they turned to the only male member of their team, to their complete shock and awe, he had a small sincere on his face though it vanished quickly into a confident smile. Satsuki and Yakumo quickly turned their heads away, cheeks flushed while Anko revealed a predatory grin.

(Scene change - Hokage's tower)

A few hours after the final genin exams were concluded, Minato as well as the jōnin who proctored the exams were discussing the results of the tests. "Well, how did the genin perform on their tests everyone?" Getting mixed responses from the jōnin, Minato decided to call them in order of team number to give their reports. Most of them were able to pass, but a few failed due to conflicts within the team, which caused them to fail in working as a team.

"Team 7 passes Minato-sensei, but that's to be expected as they're all siblings and know each other pretty well." Kakashi gave his report, happy that his team passed. Getting a smile and nod from Minato, he continued with the reports.

"Team 8 passes as well Minato-sama, though Kiba Inuzuka is trying to assert himself as the 'Alpha' of the team. I'll have to work on getting him out of a pack mindset." Kurenai reported, confident that her team will become a strong one in the future. Minato also was pleased, he knew how the Inuzuka clan operated on a similar level to how a pack of wolves operated, so Kiba was only doing what his clan did.

"Team 10 also passes Minato-Sama, though the new Ino-Shika-Cho seems out of balance. Shikamaru and Choji get along great, but Ino isn't trying at all to get to know them or work with them at all. Shikamaru needed to appeal to her pride in order to get her to work with them, hopefully, she breaks out of it." Asuma reported, concerned about the future of his team due to the blonde. Minato could only laugh wryly, knowing how Inoichi's daughter was absolutely obsessed with his son Menma. Hopefully, she'd get into the kunoichi mindset soon, though.

"Team 11 has passed as well Minato-sama, however, they are not exactly team material. Sasuke Uchiha shows no aptitude for teamwork, opting to work alone. Adding onto that, he doesn't try to associate with his teammates at all, even when they were struggling to pass my test. Sakura Haruno is the exact opposite to Sasuke, all she is trying to do it to get him to agree to go on a date with her. While this wouldn't be normally a problem, she seems obsessed with him, to the point where Sai badmouthed him, she slugged him across the face. That brings me to Sai, he's... different. I don't know, but I get the feeling that he isn't a genin, he's far too perceptive to be. After about half an hour, he got his teammates together and immediately told them about how teamwork was the key to the test. I won't do anything now, but I'll keep you updated about him." Genma reported with a sigh, knowing that he'd have his work cut out for him in the future. Minato gave a sharp nod in response, Orochimaru also commented on this team saying that they would either sink or swim, the team dynamic being somewhat similar to his own. But he did warn Minato to pay attention to Sai, as he had his suspicions about him as well.

"Team 12 also passed Hokage-sama! They were pretty good for a couple of rookies! Satsuki and Yakumo managed to bind me for a few seconds with their teamwork! But most the most surprising thing was Naruto!" At that statement, everyone's attention was focused on Anko, Minato's eyes widened by her statement and asked if she could continue, which she did.

"While it was just taijutsu, that kid is dangerous. And I mean Dangerous! I'd estimate that in terms of pure speed, strength, and power, he's at least low-jōnin, but I can tell he's holding back more than we think. But that's not all, he hits pretty flippin' hard too." Lifting the sleeves of her trench coat, Anko showed the dark colored bruises that spotted her arm. "These were all from him, I'm not joking when I say he actually pushed me to start trying, the first move he made was a kick that made a blade of wind that to my head and I'm sure if I didn't dodge it, I'd be dead for sure.."

At the end of her report, everyone in the room quieted. They knew that Naruto was good, but he had a god complex that was bigger than anything. So they thought that someone might knock that out of him. But he actually managed to actually make the normally playful Anko try, that sent a shock through their systems as well as curiosity as to what else he could have been hiding. Minato knew that he had to get to the bottom of that mystery when he finds Naruto.

"Thank you, everyone! For the genin who didn't pass, please notify them that they will be put on reserve until they are placed on a team that works for them alright? That's all I have, thank all of you for your reports and meet me tomorrow for your squad's first mission. Anko, could you stay behind, please? I need to talk to you." With that, he dismissed the jōnin, with the exception of Anko.

"What's up Hokage-sama?" Anko asked though she knew what he was probably going to ask about. It's not every day that you hear people say they managed to singlehandedly take on a jōnin, even if they weren't going at one hundred percent.

"I'm sure you already know, but it's about Naruto. I wanted to know since I know that Orochimaru asked you to monitor him for me, what do you think his mental state is? Do you think he's a threat to the village? Please be honest with me." Minato asked in a slightly hesitant manner before he believed that his son wasn't a threat to the village but after hearing how he managed to go toe to toe with one of the top ninjas in his village, he needed to be sure. Not just as a father but as the Hokage.

"As of right now, he's a real threat that needs to be watched. From what I've gathered, he hates konoha and everyone her. He considers everyone a stepping stone for his. He even admitted that he will destroy konoha. Judging from his body language when he interacts with other people, he doesn't really pay attention to them since he thinks he's the superior being. I'll keep an eye out for him, though." Anko reported, knowing that it meant a great deal to him. Receiving a smile and a "thank you" in return, she was dismissed.

Leaning back in his chair, Minato could only clutch his head in sadness. Just how bad did he screw up to make his oldest child like this. Every since Naruto was born, he vowed to protect him. Now, what could he do?

The end

well, that was interesting to say the least.

I know what you guys and girls are going to say. Where is Kaguya and Alma?

The reason why I didn't put them in here is because this chapter was all about the team. So in the next chapter, you will see them. And I might put in a lemon in the next chapter.

That's it for now.

Bye:)
