Shorter Chapter. I didn't have a lot to add before mission started so I ended it short. Like always review and enjoy

Disclaimer - I don't own Naruto

"It's the scary snake-lady!"

Sasuke shouted as their Jōnin instructor appeared before them. He might have only met her a few times in his past life, but she sure did make an impression. After that fiasco with the kunai, he started having nightmares...or wet dreams. It was hard to tell with her. He tried to explain it to Ero-sennin during their training trip, but the pervert took out a notebook after Naruto explained some of the details.

The scary snake-lady, also known as Anko, smirked as she turned her chocolate eyes to the Uchiha. "Oh seems like I have a fan and he soooo cute too." The girls of the class went into an uproar when Anko showed interest in Sasuke. How were they supposed to compete with that?

Their former instructor Iruka held a hand to his mouth as he used the clipboard to disperse the remaining smoke. "Anko," he started gaining her attention. "You're kind of early."

Anko looked sheepish as she rubbed the back of her head. "Sorry Iruka but I just couldn't wait. This is my first genin team and the Uchiha gaki to boot," she explained. Turning back to the front, she dramatically pointing her finger out the window. "Team 7 with me," she said as she barrelled out the window.

Nobody in the class moved. It was all too confusing for them. This is the first time they met an elite ninja and she acted like that. It was too much to handle. As the quiet became deafening, Aimi was the first to break the silence. "I like her!"

…

Sasuke was confused. He hated when knowledge of the future gets change. Where's Kakashi-sensei? Why is Anko their instructor? What happen to her last name? There was way too many questions coming off of graduation. The main one, where's Anko?

It took thirty minutes to track down Anko. With no hints, they started to investigate the village. After twenty minutes, Sasuke remembered the last time he met their sensei. Quickly the other two teammates followed him as he led them to Dangoya. Once they entered, they found Anko seated at a table gorging on a stick of dangos. With a sigh, the genin members of Team 7 sat themselves on the opposite side of their sensei.

Anko graced them with her attention after she tore her way through another stick of dango. "Sure took your time gakis," she said after she swallowed her treat.

All three genins grew tick marks at their sensei's remark. Aimi voiced the thought of the group. "Bitch it wou...," was as far as she got. Something past by Aimi face as it indented into the wall.

Sakura looked over to the wall at the object to see a skewer the dangos were on.

Aimi felt her cheek wetten as she placed her hand to check. She pull her hand away from her cheek to see blood now resided on it. A chill went down her spine.

"That's bitch-sensei," she said with a smile on her face. Her arm was still in the throwing motion before she picked up another skewer from the plate. "Now that we're all here, let's get to know each other."

The children stayed quiet as they were unsure what to do. Sakura and Aimi both turned their heads to Sasuke for direction but he only shrugged. Aimi, the bravest of the three, raised her hand before Anko. Anko gave her a nod before she spoke. "Um...bitch-sensei," she said hesitantly.

"Yes..."

"How are we supposed to get to know each other?" Aimi questioned.

Their Jōnin sensei smile turned into a frown as she looked at the three. "You know your likes, dislikes, dreams for the future, hobbies, and all that crap. Geeze, I thought I got the smart gakis," Anko said in a huff. Her three students blinked in response.

Sakura asked the next question. "Could you give us an example of how its done Anko-sensei?"

Anko lowered her skewer as she process her charge's question. "Why the hell not? My name is Hatake Anko. I love my hubbie, dango, and the sweet screams of a freshly broken prisoner. I hate a certain snake bastard. My dream for the future is to see the life drain from that snake bastard's eyes. Hobby...sex, you know the rough stuff none of that slow and gentle shit...oh and tea ceremonies." Anko tried not to laugh at the gakis expression during her introduction. The girls started okay until she finished her likes. The two only grew paler as she went through her dislike and dream. When her hobbies hit their virgin ears, they were ripe as tomatoes. She was disappointed with the Uchiha's reaction though. He only had the grace to blush during her hobby. "That good enough for ya?" Her question was met with silence. Frustrated, she decided on who was next to go. "Imbecile go!" Those words worked like magic as the three genin came back from la la land.

Bewildered, Aimi looked around the shop to find a clue. Her eyes roamed the place before they settled on Sakura's. Sakura was staring at her. Still not getting the hint her eyes met Sasuke's next. Unable to connect the dots, her eyes finally laid on her sensei. Why is everybody looking at me, She thought. A few seconds went by before the lightbulb turned on.

"You think I'm an imbecile!" she screeched.

"If the glove fits."

"W-well your grades could be better."

"No shit."

"Fuck you!" Aimi shouted in retaliation.

Their sensei picked her ears as she stared at Aimi. "So are you going to go or not?"

Aimi gave a pout before she began her introduction. "My name is Uzumaki Aimi. I like ramen made at my favorite restaurant and respect. I dislike anybody who disrespect ore-sama. My dream is to be recognised as the strongest shinobi of Konoha, the Hokage!" she declared.

Sasuke had a small smile on his face as he recalled his first day with Team 7. Sasuke would have continued if Anko didn't interrupt his thoughts. "You're forgetting something imbecile," Anko said to Aimi.

The redhead growled before she added to her introduction. "My hobby is fighting," she stressed through clenched teeth.

This seem to satisfy Anko as she pointed to Sasuke. "Next, stalker!"

Sasuke rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. "Guess it's my turn. My name is Uchiha Sasuke. My likes are precious people, ramen, and tomatoes. My dislikes are the time it takes to prepare food. Hobbies are taking walks and pranking," he said a light tone. His eyes suddenly turned cold as he announced his dream. "My ambition is to kill a certain man," he declared. Even Anko had to shiver at the coldness of his tone. She hadn't seen that much hate of someone since herself.

Anko chuckled to herself before pointing to her last student. "You, pinkie go."

Sakura had to recollect herself after Sasuke's dream. "My name is Haruno Sakura. My likes are Sasuke," Aimi gave a scoffed at hearing that. "My dislikes are Uzumaki Aimi, Hyūga Hinata, Yamanaka Ino, Inuzuka Kiba...," she continued for a few minutes. "...and I'm not to fond of you Anko-sensei."

Before she could start on her hobbies or dreams Aimi butted in. "Wait, that's everybody in our class except teme!"

"Yes," Sakura said.

"What the hell your problem with ore-sama?" Aimi asked.

Sakura pointed to her hand as she began to count off the reason. "You're stupid, uncouth, loud, but most of all you're a waste of Sasuke's time. I don't even know why he helps a loser like you," she concluded.

Aimi's eyes briefly turned red as she heard every one of Sakura's answers. "Bitch, you want to go!" She shouted as she sat up and stared in Sakura's direction.

"It would be my pleasure to take care of trash," was Sakura's calm response.

"That's it!" Aimi yelled as she jumped over Sasuke to get to Sakura. The two began to tussle on the floor of Dangoya gaining a crowd from the other customers. The moved through the restaurant as hair pulling, name calling, biting and scratching was seen.

Sasuke tried to jump in to break them up but was tossed out from their brawl. "Aimi! Sakura! Stop!" he tried to reason with the two. He was unable to get a response. "Anko do something!" he shouted.

"You're right gaki," she said. Sasuke sighed in relief as the fighting was going to stop. "One thousand ryo on pinkie!" she shouted. Sasuke fell as more bets were shouted out as the two moved out from the restaurant to outside. Soon after they exit the shop, the two broke apart as they stared at each other. Simultaneously, they brought their hands together for a jutsu.

"Stop." Both girls silence as they felt cold metal of a blade held under their chins. Their eyes met with the crimson red of Sasuke's Sharingan. The two lowered their arms showing surrender to the Uchiha. "Better, now what's wrong with you two," the Sasuke in front of Aimi spoke.

"Yeah I thought you two were friends," the other Sasuke spoke.

"Me, friends with her. She thought of me as beneath her during time we were friends. Little more than an insect," Sakura started off.

"You are beneath ore-sama!"

" See Sasuke. I don't even know why you waste your time with outcast."

Aimi barred her canines at the mention of outcast. "Bitch, that's surprising coming from the one with pink hair, a giant forehead, and who's a stuttering crybaby," Aimi countered.

The two glared at each other before turning around and stomping away. The Sasuke on the right poofed away as he lowered his head. How did I miss this?he thought as the buzzing in the restaurant died down.

He slightly stiffen when he heard his name called out. He turned to see his sensei glaring at him. "Gaki, why you have to go and stop the fight? I had a lot of money riding on pinkie. Stupid gaki goes and ruins my fun," she muttered the last part to herself. After she calmed down, she slung an arm around Sasuke shoulder before speaking. "Well since those two up and left, you get to tell them where we're meeting for tomorrow. Forty-fourth training ground at six-hundred hours and not a second late, sayonara," she said as she shunshin away.

…

Sasuke decided to stop at Aimi's apartment first as she was closer. Heading to the front door, he waited for an answer after he knocked. "Fuck, COMING!" Aimi announced behind the door. A few seconds later the jinchūriki opened the door. "Who the fuck...oh it's you," she said as she noticed Sasuke.

The Uchiha heir use to Aimi's personality began what their sensei told him. "Aimi, Anko wants us at the forty-fourth training ground at six in the morning tomorrow to start our duties," he explained.

Aimi's eyes widened. "Finally! It's time for ore-sama to display her skills to the massive. That old pervert will be handing me the hat anytime now!" she exclaimed.

Sasuke chuckled at her enthusiasm as she often reminded her of himself. "Sorry Aimi, but I doubt we will be doing any missions for a while."

Aimi's fantasy stopped as she heard Sasuke's words. "What do you mean teme?" she asked.

"Well technically we're not genin yet."

"What!"

Sasuke winced even though he knew that Aimi was going to scream. "You see only a percentage of the genins that graduate from the academy become genin of Kohona," he illustrated.

"But-but what's the point of graduation," she tried to counter.

"That was only to see if we had the basic skills to be a genin. Now it's up to our Jōnin-sensei, Anko, to decide if we have what it takes to become genin. She will give us a test and if we pass we become genin under her instruction. Easy, right?" Sasuke asked.

Aimi hanged her head low at the thought of another test. "Thanks," she muttered weakly. Sasuke turned around ready to leave. "Wait!" Sasuke turned about around curious at what his friend wanted. "So...do you agree with what that pink haired bitch said?" she murmur as she looked at her feet.

Pink hair...oh Sakura-chan. I guess her words really effective herhe thought with a frown.

"What words do you mean?" he questioned.

"The part she said that I'm a waste of your time," she said lowly. Aimi flinched when Sasuke's hand touched under her cheek. Lightly her head was tilted forwards until her violet eyes met Sasuke's ebony eyes. A light blush adore her cheeks as she was captivated with those eyes.

"Don't ever think that. You're a precious friend that I would never give up," he said to Aimi. Aimi's eyes swelled with tears as she suddenly launched herself into a hug with Sasuke. Sasuke was shocked with the physical contact and didn't know how to react. Aimi stopped after a few seconds. She rubbed her eyes of the unshed tears before she decked Sasuke in the shoulder.

"Thanks teme," she said showing her gratitude. Sasuke gave her a smile before he hopped away to his next destination.

This team thing might not be so badshe thought. If Sasuke around I'll be able to deal with that bitch.

…

Explaining to Sakura took less effort as she usually went with whatever Sasuke said. Just as Sasuke was about to leave the Haruno's residence, Sakura posed a question. "Why do you put up with Aimi?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well at best she's annoying, she's ungrateful for everything you do for her, and talentless. Why do you waste your efforts on her?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke let out a heavy sigh as he tried to think of how he should word it for his friend. "Aimi is everything you say but that why I am her friend. She lived a hard life and progress on. I admire determination like that. Seeing her reminds me about how I could have turned out. I feel it's my duty to show her there's a better way." Sasuke words made an impression on Sakura as she let it sink in. He startled her from her thoughts when he laid a hand on her shoulder. "I'll see you tomorrow at six right?" She gave an affirmative nod before he left.

Sakura gazed at his back as she was reminded once again why she followed him.

…

For Miss Hatake, the morning couldn't come sooner as she waited for her gakis to show up. She was still surprised that the council allowed her to teach genin even though it was special circumstances. She would have continued but her first brat arrive.

Pinkie made it ten minutes before six. She took one glance at the forest before she sat in front of the metal fence. Five minutes later, the Uchiha casually walked along the fence side until him met Sakura. He also waited on the ground as time ticked on. As the last seconds ticked before six, a dust cloud off in the distance headed to their location. As it got closer, she was able to make out Imbecile. With one second left, she was before her. "Safe!" Imbecile shouted. The rest of her charges including herself covered their mouth as dust flew through imbecile's dash.

Imbecile turned her head to Anko before she spoke. "Bitch-sensei, let's get this fucking test over with already!" she demanded.

Anko showed general surprise as one of her genin knew about the second test. She looked over to her over two genin to see that they were not surprised by imbecile's declaration. A grin graced the face of Anko. "Well, well, well. Looks like my little gakis are a stop above the rest. So you're ready to be tested to see if you earn the right to be teached by me?" She was answered with three nods. "Great! First let me introduce you to your testing area, Forty-fourth training ground, the Forest of Death!" she exclaimed as she pointed behind her charges.

"Soo...?" Aimi asked

"So, this is your test. In the center of forty-fourth training ground there is a tower. It's directly five kilometers to the center from any direction of the fence. Your test is to make it to the center," Anko clarified.

Aimi grabbed her stomach as she fell down laughing. Sakura turned to Sasuke direction to gauge his reaction. Sasuke held a neutral face as he study their sensei's expression. The smirk on her face didn't bode fell. Aimi finally gathered herself as she sat up. "That's it! This will be a piece of cake for ore-sama!" she yelled. She quickly hopped the fence and entered the training ground.

Sakura stared in awe at the idiocy that Aimi displayed. She turned back to their teacher as she was about to ask for any information of this Forest of Death, but was interrupted by Anko. "Well, what they hell are you two waiting for? Sasuke going to gate three and Sakura gate five. This test is to test your individual skills. Now get going!" she ordered. The two glance at each other before they headed off to their designated location.

…

Sasuke stopped after traversing one kilometer through the forest. He knew that this forest was dangerous even without other genin and Orochimaru hunting for them. This place allowed entree to only chūnin and above. He was worried for his friends.

"Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" he shouted. The clearing filled with smoke. After it cleared, twenty replicas stood in the clearing. "Alright headed out and find Sakura and Aimi. I'll head out to the tower to check for any traps set up by Anko. Now go!" On his words, nineteen different blurs head out into the forest. Sasuke gathered chakra around his feet. Fire coated his feet as they shifted into claws. Taking a deep breath, he launched off the branch destroying the branch in the process.

…

Aimi couldn't keep the smile off her face. She couldn't believe her luck. All she had to do was travel five kilometers and she will become a genin. It can't get any easier. As she hopped off another branch a growl entered her hearing. She paused as the growling grew louder as if it was approaching her. A few seconds passed before a giant tiger made its way to Aimi.

"Shit!" she screamed as she fled. The tiger was hot on her tail as they made their way deeper into the forest. Aimi constantly turned her head back as the tigers footstep sounded closer and closer. Her feared expression turned to fury after a few seconds in the chase. "What the fuck am I doing? I'm fucking ore-sama!" she shouted.

She suddenly performed a backflip over the tiger. When she was directly above it, she summoned four kage bunshins. The five Aimi propel down and kicked the tiger into the ground. The beast yelped before it passed out. "Who's fucking king of this jungle?" she screamed as the four other Aimis disappeared. Her voice projected over the voice calling more predators to her location. She looked around as more than five pairs of eyes stared at her.

"Fuck me..."

…

Sakura lifted her hand from the ground and looked around. There is five chakra signatures in a fifty meter radius none are Sasuke,she told herself as she waited for the enemy to make its appearance. Soon five arachnids the size of her emerged from the trees crawling towards her. They were in a stalemate until one of the spiders jumped her from behind.

She flipped over the creature placing both her hands on it. She propelled herself up into the air. A second spider sailed at her with its fangs. She quickly outmaneuvered using its legs to land on its stomach. She kicked off the spider sending it flying as she made over to the next spider. The arachnid seeing its prey spit acid out at her.

Sakura bounced off the air as if it was solid grounding dodge each wad of acid as she descended. She cocked her fist back before driving it into the skull of the third creature. The last two spiders jumped at her simultaneously thinking they had the advantage in numbers. When they reached five meters to her, water suddenly condensed around them until the water was in the shape of cubes.

Sakura casually walked up to the two cubes and placed her hands on them. She removed them to leave kanjis on the cube. The other two spiders hissed as they regain consciousness. She carefully removed her bangs from her eyes as she uttered one word.

"Boom."

…

Sasuke waited in front of the tower for one of his kage bunshin to signal they found Aimi or Sakura. He whistled out a tone as he tried to relieve himself of his anxiousness. He was worried that the two wouldn't be able to escape the Forest of Death. It was another five minutes before he heard rustling from the forest. He gave a glance in that direction before pink haired entered his vision. He smiled as he raced over to meet Sakura.

Sakura barely entered the clearing before she was engulfed into a hug from Sasuke. A cheeks tinged pink at the direct contact.

"Sakura-chan!" he cried. He swung her side to side in joy of her being unharmed. It was a few seconds before he let her go. He grabbed her shoulders to gain her attention. "You're so amazing! How did you survive the forest?" asked in amazement.

Sakura became bashfully of all the attention from Sasuke. "W-well it was nothing compared to training with you," she stuttered. She always became that way when Sasuke's full attention was on her. Sasuke would of continued but he heard a loud shout.

"HELP ME!"

Aimi came running out the forest full speed heading in Sasuke and Sakura's direction. Sasuke was about to wave hello when he noticed more figures pop out into the clearing. Tigers of various size followed Aimi to her teammates. Sasuke and Sakura separated as they headed to aid their teammate.

Sasuke jumped in front of the fleeing Aimi as his chakra began to flare. Flames appeared on both of shoulders before transforming to clawed hands. The claws raced to the beast as they enlarged in size. The two hands locked together as a wall blocking the path of the tigers. "Aimi!" Sasuke called out.

Aimi skidded to a stop at the mention of her name. She turned around to see that Sasuke stop of the tigers chasing her to stop. A vicious grin adore her face. "Fuck Yeah! It's payback bitches!" she cried as she ran towards Sakura.

Sakura stopped behind Sasuke readying herself for Aimi. "Suiton: Mizu So Ken - Kakeya." Sakura called. Water condensed before her before morphing to the shape of a giant mallet. She gripped her hands around the makeshift handle as the rest of the mallet lied on the ground. Sakura waited until Aimi jumped onto the mallet before swinging it to the air launching Aimi high above the tigers.

Aimi hovered in mid-air above the tigers as placed her hands in a cross shape. "Kage Bunshin!" she called. Dozens of copies of herself were summoned around her. The copies dive bombed themselves at the tigers creating havoc as they impaired the beast vision of destruction. Sasuke unblocked the tigers path as his left claw moved to the air to catch Aimi.

Most of the tigers ran back into the forest after being rained on with copies of Aimi. The largest one withstood the attack as he was not blocked from the children. He darted at them as soon as the clawed hands moved.

Sakura was the first to notice the house-size tiger racing after them. The mallet deformed back to water as it hovered around Sakura. "Yadama!" she called. Water pellets darted from the ring surrounding Sakura at the tiger. They impacted with the tiger causing blood to be drawn. The tiger stumbled in pain as more water pallets pierced through its skin.

Sasuke was given enough time to place Aimi down from the delay by Sakura. His left clawed hand morphed to a crossbow as the right pulled the string back. A fiery arrow conjured on the drawn back string before being launched. The Arrow drove through the tigers skulls imploding its skull. The rest of its body stop inches before Sasuke's feet.

"That's what I'm talking about!" Aimi yelled as she jumped for joy. She was glad she was finally done with the stupid forest. "Ore-sama now a shinobi of Konoha!"

Sasuke chuckled at her enthusiasm as he let Kurama's Mune disperse. He noticed Sakura's water evaporate as heard slow clapping. Sasuke along with his friend turned their head in that direction.

Slowing walking towards them was Anko but she had company. He was a taller man wearing the standard Konoha shinobi outfit along with iron plated gloves and a mask covering most of his face. Across his chest can be seen leather straps that crisscross. His Hitai-ate was slung over his left eye as visible eye seem occupied by a book in his hand.

"Alright gakis you pass," Anko said as she neared them. She halted a few meters from them as her companion mirrored. "Though the whole show with the tigers was fun. You brats really live up to being the best team of your class." Aimi beamed at the praise as Sasuke merely rubbed the back of his head and Sakura showed indifference.

"You know that means they're going to be a handful," the male mention.

"Don't worry about it Kaka-kun. It just means we can get to the more exciting missions faster. Okay brats welcome to Team Hatake!" Anko announced.

"What!" Sasuke yelled as he looked at the two. He never heard of a genin team getting two Jōnins and what was up with Anko being all friendly with Kakashi. He was fairly sure those two barely knew each other.

Kakashi chuckled at the confusion written on Sasuke's face. He too had been confused with the team placement before the Sandaime explained it to him.

Flashback

A day ago

Kakashi arrived to the Hokage's office right on time. Well on time for him. He saw his wife and Hokage chatting among themselves as he entered. Anko stopped chatting as she glomped him after he entered.

"What took you Kaka-kun?" she said. Kakashi was about to give another lie, but the Hokage interrupted him. The two look of towards him preparing for their debriefing.

"Okay, I know you two might be shocked by this but the both of you are going to be Jōnin instructors of Team 7," he explained.

Before he could get anymore words out of his mouth Anko was jumping in joy. The council was finally letting her teach brats of her own. She thought her child would be the first person that she would have instructed because of all the denials for Jōnin instructors when she asked.

"Anko-chan calm down. I think there is more to this," he said trying to calm her down. It took a few moment before the Hokage could speak again.

"The reason why we are providing two Jōnins is you two are the best to handle the three children, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Uzumaki Aimi. They are huge security risks for Konoha" He gain two questioning gazes from the couple. "Well Kakashi is best to handle Aimi and Sasuke. Aimi is the jinchūriki of the Kyūbi. Since Kakashi is next in terms of knowledge about sealing and being the student of the Yondaime, you are there to prevent any cracks in the seal. Also giving her to you because we need our jinchūriki strong as Kumo and Iwa have increased their military strength and have two jinchūriki." Kakashi nodded his head in understandment.

"Uchiha Sasuke is the last of the Uchiha clan and has awakened the Sharingan. Since Kakashi are only Sharingan user, you are best to teach him. Also Sasuke has access to the Rasengan and Chidori."

"How is that possible?" Kakashi interrupted. The knowledge of his signature technique and the Rasengan were well guarded secrets of Konoha.

"The Yondaime taught him," Sarutobi explain. Both Jōnins became silent. How was it possible that Yondaime is still alive. He died protect his wife when did the sealing on Aimi.

"Last there's Haruno Sakura of the Senju, Sarutobi, and Namikaze clan." Being unable to comprehend the Hatakes took a seat as they listen on. "Haruno Sakura found one of Orochimaru's labs."

"What? I thought we found them all after he escaped!" Anko shouted in rage. If this had anything to do with her former master, she ought to know.

"Unfortunately we missed one. In it was a experiment and notes of a kinjutsu. The experiment was called Project Chimera the perfect shinobi with the abilities of the past four Hokages and the kinjutsu was Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei."

Both Kakashi and Anko were quiet. The knowledge that all three children held some much power over Konoha it was scary.

End Flashback

Kakashi sighed. It was no time to dwell on the past. He just had to make sure that these children will always have the Will of Fire.
