It was a peaceful day in Konoha… "Yondaime-sama!" Namikaze Minato looked up from his stack of paperwork when a Chuunin barged in.
"Yes?" Minato asked, "I'm a little busy."
The Chuunin was very pale. Minato sweat dropped, "Send her in," he sighed.
Minato waited less than two seconds, "Minato!" an angry Kushina yelled walking in.
"Yes, dear," Minato tried to remain calm so not to anger his one month pregnant wife.
"Why the fuck are we out of pickles?!" Kushina yelled.
Minato sweat dropped, but refrained from saying that they were out because she ate the entire jar last night. Instead, he opted to turn her attention elsewhere, "Kushina, why don't you help me create Naruto and Gaara's Genin teams? I'm still having trouble forming them," he said, knowing their children would distract her.
Kushina blinked, "Minato, they did the exam today," she stressed, "You should've had this done already!"
"I know, I know," Minato gestured his wife over.
Kushina walked over, "I have almost every team set," Minato said, "But, I don't know about Hinata and Haruno Sakura."
Kushina blinked, "Who's this girl?" she asked pointing to Sakura's picture, "I think I've seen her before…"
"She's best friends with Ino," Minato stated, "…And has a crush on Sasuke."
"Ah, I see the problem," Kushina stated, "If you put either of them on Kakashi's team then they'll be distracted, however," Minato turned to his wife, "Kurenai is a genjutsu expert I honestly don't see what Kurenai could offer Hinata, other than being a mother figure."
"Kushina, dear," Minato smiled, "That's been your position since her mother died," he looked at Sakura's info, "But, Sakura is the top kunoichi and is very knowledgeable. I honestly think Tsunade-sama would be a better teacher for her, but she has to make that decision on her own, but I also think she'd have potential with genjutsu if introduced, but when Hinata is too close to Naruto, she faints."
Kushina hummed, "But, as Hiashi has said, Naruto is a good influence on her," she said, "And who knows, Kakashi could knock some sense into her. Also, Sasuke and Naruto already know a lot. They were in a three way tie for Rookie of the Year with Gaara. That's a first in Konoha History."
Minato was grinning. He couldn't have been happier. His youngest sons were the top of their class, "Minato!" Minato jumped when his wife yelled his name.
Minato grinning nervously, "Sorry, lost in pride," he stated.
Kushina rolled her eyes, "As I was trying to tell you before you got lost in your male pride," Minato sweat dropped, "Was that Hinata will most likely either get over her crush on Naruto, which is utterly impossible because he is adorable, or learn not to blush or faint around him and find her reason to get stronger."
Minato hummed in thought, "I'll admit, that would be promising," he said, "And Hinata and Sasuke are aware of all that Naruto can do. Plus, with Sasuke being around two of his friends instead of someone obsessed with him…" he trailed off, "However, putting Sakura on the team could also be promising. I don't know. I'll have to maul over the options a few times before I come to a final decision."
Kushina sighed, "Does this mean I'm cooking dinner?" she asked.
"Temari can cook," Minato stated, "I've been teaching her."
Kushina sighed then blinked, "What about my fucking pickles?" she asked.
Minato sweat dropped. Kushina was to pickles as Naruto was to ramen.
"Kaa-chan!" Naruto yelled happily when Kushina came in with a half-eaten jar of pickles, "…Again with the pickles?"
Kushina stuck her tongue out her son, "Temari!" she called.
"Yes?" Temari called.
Kushina walked into the living room, "You're cooking," she said to her oldest, "Your father is having trouble creating teams."
"Is Tou-chan that overprotective over us?" Gaara asked.
"Oh no, it's not you two," Kushina stated, "He's had you two placed ever since Kankurou graduated."
"Specking of Nii-chan," Naruto said, "When's he coming back from his mission?"
"Should be about two more days," Temari stated, "Kaa-chan, why don't we go out? Gaara and Naruto have graduated after all."
"Well, if that's the case then we'll wait for you father to get home and celebrate together," Kushina stated and felt around her jar, "Who the fuck ate my pickles?!"
Temari sweat dropped, having been through her mother's pickle cravings when she was pregnant with Naruto.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sasuke instantly ducked under the desk and Naruto and Kiba laughed at his torture.
"Shut up!" Sasuke hissed.
"Leave Sasuke alone!" Ino yelled at the top of her lungs.
All the girls disbanded. Over protective sister. Not as bad as his cousin. But still pretty scary. Ino huffed, "You can come out, Sasuke," she stated crossing her arms, "Right Sakura?"
Sakura sweat dropped, but nodded. Sasuke sat in his seat again, "Thanks Ino," Sasuke stated.
"No problem you annoying little pest," Ino smirked.
Sasuke snorted, "The only person I know who has a temper worse than you is Naruto and Gaara's mom," he stated, "And it's worse with her pregnant."
"Tell us about it," Naruto and Gaara said in unison.
Ino and Sakura couldn't help but giggle. Naruto sighed, "I swear," Naruto stated, "Every girl I know is like Kaa-chan. That makes things real awkward in finding a girlfriend. I don't want to date my mom. Gaara I think would be find with it because he's a Mama's Bo-ow!" he turned to his slightly older, redheaded brother, "What the fuck Gaara?!"
Gaara just glared at Naruto and Naruto rolled his eyes, "Oh, come on Gaara," he said, "You're a Mama's Boy and we all know it."
"I am no-"
"Everyone take a seat," Iruka came in, closing the door behind him.
Ino, Sakura, and Kiba were forced to sit behind their friends because Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, and Hinata took up the four seated row, "Alright, as I'm sure you're all aware, I will be giving you your Genin teams set up and created by the Yondaime himself," Gaara and Naruto shrunk slightly when several students looked at them; sheesh, why do they do that every time their father is mentioned, "Remember that you are all ninjas now and you must act like it and…" Naruto and Gaara pretty much tuned this out; they already got the lecture from their father at Ichiraku's last night.
Hinata noticed Naruto and Gaara's glazed over looks and sighed softly, "Now I will be telling you your teams and your Jounin Instructor will come get you for Introductions and when and where you'll be training," Hinata noticed the two siblings' eyes come back into focus, "Team One!" Hinata listened for her name and any one of her friends.
Of course Hinata wanted to be on a team with at least one of her friends, but the person she really wanted to be with…she knew it would never happen. He was in a three way tie for the Rookie of the Year. She was third only because the Elders forced her father to train with her late the night before the exam and she didn't do so well on the written part. Hiashi was proud of Hinata for making that with so little sleep. Hinata smiled. She was glad her father wasn't doing everything the Elders told him. Otherwise, her cousin/older brother would be sealed with that stupid seal and she would probably be sealed as well. And who knows what would've happened to her uncle. She loved her uncle and didn't like to see him in pain when one of the Elders got mad. Hinata knew that her Clan's ways had to change, but she wasn't sure how to go about changing them. The Elders frightened her, "Team Seven: Uchiha Sasuke," Hinata's attention was brought out of her thoughts at her friend's name, "Namikaze Naruto," Hinata's heart launched into her throat, "And…"
A/N Sorry it's so late, but here's the sequel to The Unexpected Family. I've been through a lot with school and just finished my finals. I'm still working on the three part and realized this series is probably going to be five, instead of four. The two years taking up two stories instead of one. Anyway, yes I left you at a cliffy. I'm not sorry xD I own nothing except my OCs from the last story. Please leave a review and thank you for staying with this series!
