19 Teams

a/n:

Aight just gonna say I that starting now, or this chapter and future chaps that the stats won't necessarily mean that a person is stronger{cuz you got to take into account their jutsu's, intelligence, strategies and what not). Though it was my bad for writing the stats wrong I guess.

oh and sorry if I don't respond to the paragraph comments... I'll respond to them on my free time, my notification says that its legit 99+...

Shigeo after changing out of his workout clothes went to the academy. He wore his usual black shirt along with a green short sleeved haori over it and dark blue anbu pants. Though this time he started to wear gloves along with his arm warmers so it wouldn't show when he uses his Armament Haki. He was also wearing his forehead protector around his waist like a belt.

He was after all going to be assigned to his genin team today, He had thought many outcomes, but he still thinks that he most likely wouldn't be placed onto any genin team with any of the original rookie nine.

After all it was pretty balanced. Team 7 was balanced, Team 8 specializes in tracking, and the last team with Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino were the Ino-Shika-Cho formation.

'This means I just have to make sure my team passes' Shigeo said as he clenched his fists.

"Hey Shigeo-kun, that's a real nasty face you're makin' " Ino said as she caught up to him. She was wearing a purple outfit consisting of a high-collared blouse and matching apron skirt with bandages on her abdomen and legs, small hoop-earrings. She like him also wore her forehead protector on her waist like a belt and wore white arm warmers.

"Huh? Ah sorry, I was just thinking about what team I would be placed in" Shigeo said as they made their way to the academy.

"The genin teams huh, I'll probably be teamed up with Shikamaru and Choji" Ino said after thinking about it.

"Yup, most likely. The Ino-Shika-Cho formation is one of the best after all" Shigeo said as Ino sighed.

"I know but still, it will be a pain since Shikamaru is always so lazy." She fumed.

"It's fine, besides there's Choji too, and remember Shikamaru is smart. He wouldn't do anything to endanger his teammates" Shigeo said reassuring her.

"I know but still..." Ino said as she sighed.

Shigeo only shook his head as he took his hand and put it on her head. "I said it would be fine" Shigeo said as he pat her head.

"Y-you! Stop that!" Ino said as she slapped his hand out of her head with a blush.

"Geez, now I have to fix my hair" She said as an excuse to turn her head away from Shigeo.

"It's fine, it looks as good as always" Shigeo said as he didn't see Ino's flustered look.

{a/n: Will I do you all dirty and make the mc dense as fuck? Idk yet we'll see.}

Entering the classroom, the duo looked and saw that half of the class was already filled. He turned to Ino as he bid farewell "Well, later Ino. I'll leave you to hang out with your friends(girls)."

After he said that he went and sat beside Shikamaru and Choji.

"Yo, want some?" Choji said offering some chips.

"Nah, I'm fine. Heh, you guys are in for a surprise" Shigeo said as both Shikamaru and Choji looked at each other confused.

Right on que, a blonde clad in orange entered the room. Shocking some of the class.

"Hey Naruto what are you doing here, didn't you fail?" Kiba asked

"What no! Iruka sensei made me take another test and I passed, see!" Naruto said as he pointed towards his forehead protector and sat on the same table as Sasuke.

Just as he said that Sakura entered the room, she looked over towards his direction making him blush as she walked toward him.

"Sakur-agh!" Just as he was about to greet her Naruto was pushed aside. Sakura asked Sasuke if he could sit there but the other girls in the class except Ino and Hinata started to argue with her.

Seeing how popular Sasuke was Naruto got up and jumped in front of Sasuke's desk and looked at his face trying to analyze what was so good about him. Sasuke in turn looked at Naruto with a mocking expression.

That was until someone in front of Naruto accidently bumped into him causing Naruto and Sasuke to kiss causing a whole scene.

In another room, the third hokage had a crystal ball showing the class of recent graduates as Jonins looked at the crystal ball.

"Is that him? This year's rookie of the year, Sasuke Uchiha?" One male jonin asked

"That's right" The third said

"The last survivor of the Uchiha clan" the beautiful jonin, Kurenai said getting a nod from Hiruzen.

Then the crystal ball showed Naruto kissing Sasuke causing all the adults in the room to deadpan.

"Hahaha! Naruto is always in the center of trouble!" Hirzuen laughed before he looked back at the crystal ball, this time to show a black haired boy with green eyes.

"Who is this?" One of the jonin asked as he stared at Shigeo curiously

"...The taijutsu genius, Shigeo Murakami" Another jonin said getting a nod from Hiruzen and all other jonin to look at Shigeo's face.

"Indeed, though whoever gets young Shigeo will be surprised" Hiruzen laughed

"Taijutsu genius? Is he like last year's rookie of the year, Neji Hyuuga or is he just hard working like Gai-san?" One of the Jonin in the room said as he looked at the crystal ball.

"...Shigeo Murakami, I heard Gai talk about him. It would seem he could easily become the rookie of the year if he wanted... Gai said some pretty interesting things about him" A silver haired man with a mask covering his face said.

Hearing this Hiruzen only smiled. He had also found out from reports that Shigeo seemed to be an apprentice of some sorts of Gai's. When he questioned Gai, he had also been made aware of Shigeo's combat prowess with just pure taijutsu.

"What?!" Though the same couldn't be said for the rest of the Jonins in the room. This made them even more intrigued as they all stared at the face of the boy.

"Alright everyone, all of you are all just the lowest class of the ninja rankings. All of you would be put in teams of three genin led by your jonin teacher" Iruka said surprising majority of the class.

Only those that had their parents tell them like the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and Shigeo who had knowledge beforehand knew of this. While most students were trying to figure out who they would be teamed up with Iruka started calling out the names.

"Team five... Shigeo Murakami, Akame Katsuchi, and Ren Itoku!" Iruka said causing Shigeo to raise a brow. It seemed his team were of all civilians.

"Team seven... Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Hurano, and Sasuke Uchiha!" Hearing this at first Naruto cheered as Sakura seemed to be depressed, but as soon as Sasuke's name was heard their roles reversed as the blonde was in despair.

"Team eight... Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame!"

"Team ten... Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi!" The trio only sighed hearing this as they already guessed they would be placed in the same team.

"Now those will be all the teams, Now please try to get to know each of your team mates. As they will be with you until you either retire or get promoted to chunin" Iruka said as he looked at his class.

This batch of fresh graduates had about 21 students, 6 being students that were from civilian backgrounds and the remaining were of prominent clans.

"Alright since I have assigned you all into your teams, you are all free to head out for lunch just remember to be back by an hour and don't be late. Or else you will all miss being picked up by your jonin sensei. Is that understood?" Iruka asked

"Yes, Iruka Sensei!"

a/n:

I was originally going to say don't get attached to his teammates as I planned to kill them off via Orochimaru, I wanted to originally make him unlock his Conquerers Haki that way. But someone pointed out to make him have non cannon fodder teammates so I'll see if I could develop these oc's...

Tho if I give up on their development(Like what Kishi did with Sakura) they gonna die or be out of the picture...

Appreciate all of you helping point out mistakes or correcting me. Please continue to do so since my knowledge of Naruto is pretty rusty.
