Team 10
after their small meeting ended Kaoru heads to Hokage's office because he needs to make a report and take a students list from there even if he already knows who his students will be.
when he arrived the room was full of people and he recognized some faces.
"Oya? Kaoru-kun it's rare for you to come late I hope Kakashi didn't infect you with his laziness"
the one who talked to Kaoru is a tall woman with red eyes and untamed black hair she also wears an outfit consisting of a red mesh armor blouse with only the right sleeve visible, her hand and upper tight are also wrapped in bandages and she wears the Konoha forehead protector and regular shinobi sandals.
"sorry for coming late, and no I don't get infected with Kakashi-senpai's illness since I can't become jounin if that is the case"
"oy it hurt when you said it like that Kaoru, why are you always talking about me like that"
when Kaoru talking with Kurenai suddenly a sick person that always wears a mask 24 hours a day even when he is eating and uses his head protector like a pirate blindfold, if Kaoru didn't know the reason maybe he will think Kakashi is trying to cosplay as a pirate.
"YOUTHHHHHH! THAT'S RIGHT KAKASHI, YOU'RE TOO LAZY YOU SHOULD LEARN FROM LITTLE KAORU"
and besides Kakashi is the person that Kaoru always admires, he can't use ninjutsu or genjutsu so he only focused on taijutsu to the point that even Madara acknowledges him as the strongest taijutsu user in the world.
his tenacity makes Kaoru envy Might Guy, he doesn't have a strange beast in his body or strange eyes that could summon a black flame or giant armor or any special gen that gives him strange skills, everyone could be like him but there are so many tears and blood that need to be shed, and not everyone has the determination to do that.
"It's the truth after all and if you're not a lazy person then I believe you're not the real Kakashi-senpai"
*stab
Kakashi got a real critical hit, in this world, Kaoru's identity is a jounin that likes to pick a fight with his senior especially Kakashi but since what he said is the truth no one could deny it.
he also thinks that Kakashi is not a good teacher, it's fine if you have a favorite student but it doesn't mean you can use favoritism when teaching especially when one of the students he neglected is the son of his teacher.
that's why Kaoru never like him in the first place especially the person that appears now.
"Silent! it's time to inform you all about the team that you need to lead from today onward" Then a hoarse voice is heard from an old man who wears a white cloak and a hat with a fire symbol on it.
his is name is Sarutobi Hiruzen the the third Hokage and the current Hokage that taking back his seat after the death of the fourth.
the real corrupt man who only gives Naruto a little bit of inheritance money just to make sure he doesn't die starving. and about Sasuke, he and his goons take everything and only give him one small house even with his status right now as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, also don't forget about the Senju clan.
he is the kind of person that will happily eat his own family's flesh and blood just to make sure that his position as a leader remains unshakeable.
"Jounin Kaoru!"
"yes sir!" Kaoru awakens from his deep thought and immediately heads to the table and received the token and information about his team.
"From today onward you need to lead team 10 and make sure they become a great ninja for Konoha"
Hiruzen gave him the token and information book towards Kaoru and he only could answer with "Yes sir!" because he didn't want to stay here any longer.
----------
right now in front of him, there are three youngsters around 12 years old consisting of two boys and one girl.
"Okay, my name is Makoto Kaoru, from today onwards I will be your teacher so let's hear about yourself first"
"What a drag, my name is Nara Shikamaru, that's all"
the first boy even if Kaoru didn't have any information about Shinobi's world he will understand that this guy is a lazy person but also smart Kaoru like this kind of person because they will think of the easiest, the fastest, and the most efficient way to solve the problem because they are too lazy to work the normal way, so as long as you could find how to rein them they will be a very good advisor.
"My name *munch... is *munch... Akimichi Chouji *munch... I like food *munch... so please buy me some snack sensei *munch..." and then he continues to eat without caring about the world beside him.
the next person is a fat boy that always eating even now when they have their first meeting but the most bizarre thing about this boy is he uses underpants on his head, even Superman still uses underpants on his lower parts even though from the outside but he will not use it on his head.
"M-my name is Yamanaka Ino, sensei do you have a girlfriend?" she introduced herself and asked Kaoru while blushing
the last is a blonde girl who wears a purple outfit consisting of a high-collared blouse and a matching apron skirt. She also will be a very beautiful woman later that's why he feels it's a waste to give this kind of girl to Sai.
"Okay at least now we know each other names, for Chouji I will give you some snacks later, and Ino the answer to your question is I'm single right now"
"kyaaaaaa!"
Ino suddenly screams happily and Shikamaru's reaction is a facepalm the only one who didn't care about anything is Chouji who still eating.
Kaoru remembers that in the early story, Ino is like a loose gyaru but she is actually just a pure girl that likes all the beautiful things.
so Kaoru has to calm Ino down because he needs to talk about their future action
"now now, we need to talk about a very important thing, first I will give you guys additional tests like the other teams but I will not send you guys back to the academy like Kakashi has done before"
"Team 8 tests consist of searching and detect also a bit of genjutsu resistance and countermeasure because the member is full of human radar and that's a good way to test them, for the team 3 the tests consist of physical and endurance exams since the member and the teacher is a muscle brain except Neji maybe, and then the team 7 their test is a coordination and team works and I know this kind of test is the most useless thing, can you give me the reason Shikamaru?"
Shikamaru was surprised for a second when his name got called but he immediately thinking why the team 7 test is not a good test for the newbie ninja.
he looks around to see his teacher and when he looks at Chouji and Ino he reaches enlightenment.
Chouji and Ino were also surprised when Shikamaru showed them that kind of reaction since this is the first time.
"what Shikamaru did you know something?" Ino asked him impatiently
Chouji only nodded but he is the most curious person at this moment because he never sees Shikamaru look as if he found the greatest secret of the third Hokage.
"yes, I never thought that kind of test created by the third is actually the most useless thing for us"
"for us Ino-Shika-Chou coordination and teamwork test might be useful but for the other kid where they are just a stranger yesterday then suddenly their test is that they need to become a team where they have to protect each other back, it's impossible!"
"That's true someday we may work with other people or strangers but for genins, we will always work in a three-person team that lead by one jounin rank teacher and one of the duties of Jounin teacher is to teach their genins teamwork not testing them on the first day and send them back to academy just because they can't work together"
"for example, Chouji can I have a little bit of your chips?"
Chouji looks at his chips and when sees that there are still many chips there.
"Hmmm? okay here!" Chouji gives him his Chips without a second thought and then takes another bag of chips from his pockets.
"Thanks, Chouji, see here Ino? If you asked Chouji he will also give you his snack, but what about the other children for example Neji, Sakura, or Kiba, I believe Chouji will never give them his chips that's true we know each other when we are kids but now we are a genin one wrong move our life will be gone, can you believe that Neji or Kiba will waste their life to protect you? maybe they will do it but you will not believe it right?"
"That's why testing the teamwork on the first day is a flawed test, its more effective to be used when we want to be a Chunin"
Ino and Chouji understand now why there is so many genin that failed the Kakashi sensei test because it's a flawed test from the beginning, it's almost impossible to become a good team when you're basically a stranger to each other.
they started to feel bad for Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura because their teacher is Kakashi especially Naruto and Sasuke who is like fire and water, and combined with Sakura who is always biased toward Sasuke and becomes like oil in their team.
all three of them only could their silent condolences to those three.
*clap clap clap
All three of them awaken from their prayer because they heard the sound of Kaoru's handclaps.
"congrats! you're right Shikamaru, teamwork cant be formed in the span of a few minutes that needs time and dedication but the most important thing is trust in your teammates, that's why my test is a fighting test but I just want to know your capabilities how you use your skill, ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu and even your kekkei genkai, so no matter the outcome from today onwards you're the member of team 10"
"YES SENSEI!" the three of them answered Kaoru with fervor since they have a good expectation for their sensei.
