Two years have pa.s.sed and we kept on training not leaving Kakashi out even thought he was already a full time shin.o.bi. He even help us review for the exams for graduation since he already took it. We all pa.s.sed with flying colors me of course being top student on my cla.s.s second being Gekko and Kusei following behind my swordsman team. We been the talk of the town has one of the best generation of gennin to ever to graduate. During this 2 years I also been studying some basic Fujinjustu(Sealing arts) from my dad Hiruzen. So I decided to make a study group with my fellow Swordsman to also study this area to at least have a basic proficiency on the art to use and create storage sealing scrolls, I asked my dad I wanted to learn more about the art so he a.s.signed a Kunoichi(Female Ninja) to tutor me on the art, and who do you think ended up being my teacher. It was Kushina Uzumaki since she was secretly the Jinryuiki(Kyubi host) she was not allowed to leave the village almost at all and if she did she would be always accompanied by a big group of anbus. So teaching fit perfectly since she was not allowed to leave the village.
I manage to drag Gekko, Kusei and Raido to the cla.s.ses with her since I believed that has long we had more with this type of skills it would be useful in the future. My dad allow it but forbade me to bring to the cla.s.ses any Uchiha or Hyuga. Which I know why he did because most likely they could see the true nature(see the Kyuubi being hidden hosted) inside Kushina and she was supposed to be a S-rank secret.
So during those 2 years we 4 focus on the sealing techniques and learn everything we had from Kushina which we amazed her with our progress. Gekko was using the Bushin clone to study to speed up his progress in the study. Kusei was just a natural just like with his genjutsu. Raido just put the extra effort and studied longer and me thanks to my sharingan like abilities my soul had it was easy for me to catch up immediately.
My dad call us the 4 geniuses since it took him years to master his level of Fujinjutsu and we 4 supa.s.sed him in just 2.5 years give or take. Kushina also got attached to us 4 since we where her first students even thought it was not official. She even urge us to spar with her when she herd we had a Swordmanship club that I created. So the cla.s.ses at the end off the day ended on sword fighting with her.
She was crazy good in Kenjutsu(sword fighting). Looks like Kushina was using a original swordsmanship style beloning to the lost Ushiokagure(village hidden in the whirlpool) where the clan of the Uzumaki used to reside. I of course manage to learn her fighting style master it and even find counters against it within the 2 years we spend learning from her.
She pouted and complain on how fast I grew not letting her to be the teacher for ever. Kushina would once in a while drop by to invite us to ramen and discuss about our training with her since she most of the time didn"t had anything to do. She grew on us and kind of became the older sister to Gekko, Kusei, Raido and me because of that.
By the end of the year we no longer saw Kokolate Saburoso sensei since he got replaced by a n.o.body which could be easily forgotten. We heard that he was promoted and was no longer teaching for now.Well eventually we got set up on teams and this were the teams. (I am calling them by names not numbers).
Team Asuma: Asuma, Kusei and Raido.
Team Kakashi (finally formed): Kakashi, Rin, and Obito
Team Anko: Anko, s.h.i.tsu, and Popo (couldn"t find a good source for Anko"s teammates so I just wing it/made up)
Team Gekko: Gekko, Tokara and Ibiki(future capt. of interrogation corps)
Team Gal: Might Gal, Ebisu (future Konohamaru"s teacher) and Genma (toothpick guy).
Team Flora: Uchiha Alvin, Hyuga Po and Flora( a kunoichi who excels at shurinkenjutsu from our cla.s.s)
There were other teams but I really didn"t pay attention after all we don"t know if they will pa.s.s the final test and actually become gennin. (Poor Kakashi he would have to do the bell test, hope he gets the concept of teamwork after all he been with us for along time already.)
They told my team to meet tomorrow at the academy were our teachers would pick us up. So we decided to just rest didn"t do any training that day as we were preparing for tomorrow meeting.
The day arrived and surprise, surprise, the teacher picking us up was non other that sensei Kokolate Saburoso himself. Gekko and Kusei were surprise, me not much since it look Kokolate was missing from last year because he applied and pa.s.s the Jounnin exam and immediately got handed a team to teach which ended up being ours.
Kokolate: "Look who we got here, if it isn"t the best students of this year I am honored to be your teacher. As you see I am now a Jounnin and ended up being your teacher, again. So lets head out to the garden outside the academy near the benches we will keep on talking there." he said as he stepped out guiding us as we 3 followed him.
Kusei: "So sensei how long have you been Jounnin now?"
Kokolate:" Not much been around 8 months already. Been doing allot of B cla.s.s missions and some A cla.s.s. I got commission by the 3rd Hokage to be your teacher since I am one that know your group the most and felt more rea.s.sure if it was me. That"s why I was a.s.sign even thought I am just a brand new Jounnin."
Kusei: "That explain"s allot." he said
Raido: "Well is nice seeing you again Mr.Saburoso our latest teacher is just a boring drag doesn"t even pay attention if we are learning.....well at least compared to you." he said with a smirk.
Kokolate: "Seriously I sometimes don"t know why they even decided to teach in the academy if they are not putting their hearts into it. They should just do regular missions and put those who do have the pa.s.sion to be there. Then again some do it because is more of a stable secure job instead of being on the field since is more dangerous." he said with a sight.
Asuma: "Well allot is because of the influence of the civilian counsel too. They been to lax since they want to give the opportunities to civilian to also enter the academy is not like 4 years before when they were a little more stricter." I said as I groom my non existent beard.
Kokolate: "You sure are right about that. I just wish they put more thought about it and put better teaching protocols. We could have better shin.o.bi"s that way. If it wasn"t for me or people with initiative like you guys we wouldn"t have this many gennin graduating. Usually is only about 3 teams maximum most of the time and minimum only 1 team manages, but his year we had several graduates and I got to tell you they mostly got pushed because of you guys. They just didn"t want to fall behind too much." He said with a concerned face.
After discussing about that we finally arrived to the park/garden where they had some benches and tables.
Kokolate: "Okay even thought I have done this before let me officially present myself. My name is Kokolate Saburoso, I like chocolate overall, ramen, BBQ from the Akimichi restaurant and spicy food. My dislikes is salty food or others sweets not involving chocolate. My family owns a store were they sell spices and chocolate related products. You already know where to find my family store so I just hope you become constant patrons to the place. My dream is to have a beautiful wife who like to spoil me. Still currently single, so I don"t mind if you send me widows, single moms or your older sister my way, as long they are a beauty. My hobbies are to cook, make pastries, candies and help my parents on my free time at their store. Don"t forget I like teaching so if you got a material you got problems approaching I would try to help you to find a solution if not at least guide you to the correct person capable of doing it. Okay guys it is your turn to present yourselfs even if you know each other already." he said with a thumbs up.
Raido: " h.e.l.lo everyone, my name is Raido my likes are training my swordsmanship. My dislikes are to have to wait for a friend saying he is ready and takes more than 10 minutes before leaving, seriously if you are ready just leave. Also I don"t like fangirls they are annoying as h.e.l.l. For my dream well recently I gotten liking to be recognized as a Kenjutsu(sword) expert.My hobbies recently is to do calligraphy since I been studying my fujinjutsu(sealing arts), did you know calligraphy also helps with your mastery of refining your already learn sword skills. I always discover new ways to approach with my sword thanks to calligraphy. I also like playing poker cards since I am good and like winning. Thats about it, he said as he sat down on the bench.
Kusei: "Well looks like its my turn, my name is Kusei Yuhi. What I like is doing gardening since I raise some roses and some in home grown vegetables, I like reading novels about action/romance/comedy. I dislike the horror type novels and don"t like spicy food, a little is fine but too much is not. My hope and dream is to be a bad a.s.s re-known shin.o.bi and to be admire by my skills on genjutsu. My hobbies well just like the former growing vegetables, read books and also like experimenting on the kitchen for new recepes." Kusei said has he sat down pointing to me to stand up and do my presentation.
Asuma: "Well if you don"t know who I am then you all must be deaft or something since I know I am the talk of the town. My name is Asuma Sarutobi the son of the 3rd Hokage and also number 1 student of this year graduates. My likes is to train, train, train in the areas I am interested on as for now is Kenjutsu(sword training), Tai jutsu(physical training/techniques), Ninjutsu, a little of genjutsu and doing in more depth studying on Fujinjutsu even thought I learn everything I could from a seal master I think this area as even more potential and could not be mastered even in a life time. My dislikes are procrastinators but I do understand the concept of off days since sometimes being on overdrive all the time could burn out most people but if not I prefer doing something that doing nothing on my free time. My dream for the future is to build the "7 Great Swordsman of the Leaf" surpa.s.sing the "7 swordsman of the Hidden mist" since they depend on their swords to define their fighting style while we create ours and define what sword we use. Being renown on all the 5 elemental nations. My hobbies are playing shogi, go, card games, brain teaser puzzles, dice games, studying medicines, poisons and research new ways of using ninjutsu, finding or creating new techniques and researching fujinjutsu." I said to the the teacher.
Kokolate: "Wow, wow, hold it there. You are indeed packed on the things you are learning. Well its good to have drive but do find some down time. Just hearing you is like a super driven student/teacher. I got to say you will eventually caught up to your old man and if you keep going at it even gain his same t.i.ttle of "The Professor". Either way is good to know your goals guys, but sadly there is one last test you are going to do before officially being gennins. We will do a survival exercise tomorrow so please don"t eat anything for breakfast before coming to training ground 13 where we will meet up at 4 am in the morning." Kokolate said before he shushin himself out leaving only leafs being scattered.
