17 chapter 17: The Jonin teacher

- At the Hokage Office -

Sitting at his desk was the third Hokage going through the list of graduation classes trying to figure out which Sensei would be best.

'hmm, these 3 will do well. Kurenai would be a good choice. Hinata has some problems in her clan, but Kurenai as a woman would be easier to take too. Maybe she can open up Hinata a little, the same for Shino. Then just the opposite for the last one, Kiba. With 2 silent team members, he can bring them out of their shell. And they in return can temper his impulsiveness down. And this team could be a good tracking squad. Next group. Well, this is nothing to think about. Bringing the next generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio into being. Now, who would be a great Sensei for them... Ah, my son would do great. He can finally get off his ass. now the next group, ah... this is going to be a problem. Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke, the first of class and the last of the class. Also the last of their clans, now who to put in as the last one to close the squat? Ah, maybe a girl would help. Sakura is the last to be sorted let's put her in. She is not the best and not the worst, so perfect. Now the Sensei, ah let us give them to Kakashi. there a problem team lets give them a problem Sensei. hihihi. that should be them al.' The Hokage looks over his list of the graduation class. then he stops on a name. 'CRAP, how could I forget about Raven. Luckily none found out, let's see who we can put in his team.' put then the Hokage noticed that all the other names are already crossed out.

'Now what do I do? Al the other teams are made. I'll summon Kakashi, he's been training with the kid. Maybe he has an idea.'

He then sends out a message to Kakashi. After a while, Kakashi enters the office.

"You rang, Hokage?"

"Yes Kakashi, I have a problem with the teams for tomorrow."

"Oh, How can I help with that?"

"Well, to help you need to understand the problem. the problem is that I've filled up 10 teams and there Sensei."

"Yeah, so?"

"Well, I have only one student left."

"That's not a big problem, just send him back to the academy for another year. problem solved."

"If it was only that easy, the last student is Raven."

"Raven, how is it possible that he is left out"

"Well, the class was not that big this year except for the clan's offspring. all the civilians who would have stayed. Quit the academy, and went back to being a civilian. so I'm missing students to fill his team. then there is also the problem, who to make his sensei. You can't be it, I've got a special team for you."

"Can hardly wait. not having a team will be a problem. You can't put him in with another team, that would make an imbalance. are there no other genin teams missing a genin?"

"I checked, there are non. there are some persons left that don't have a genin team but that is because of the occasion."

"How you mean?"

"Here check the list of sensei."

And the Hokage gave Kakashi the shortlist. Only two names.

"I know why Hayate Gekko can't be a Sensei but that shouldn't exclude him. better him than her no."

"Gekko, also gave me the request, that he will not be ready for active duty for half a year. I just got the medical record to confirm. so It can only be her. Now is my question. Could Raven be put under her care alone? And would he survive her?"

the room was silent.

...

"Putting Raven under her teaching, yes he would survive. But is it wise to put him there on his own. that is a big if. That would still be a team of one. that's not how we work and teach."

"Well, I know that, but I'm thinking of making it more as of a test team, now thinking further with you. It's her first time teaching, and Raven is his second graduation. so it could work. And then when we find capable genin, we could add to the team. What you think?"

"It could work, but you do know that most D-rank mission he will not be able to do. because they are for teamwork practice."

"I'll think about that some more later, but you also think it can work?"

"Yes, I think it can."

Then let's do this then." the Hokage added the sensei's name to Raven's and created team 11.

"You do know it's going to be mayhem tomorrow when you announced that she would be a Sensei right?"

"Would be fun for a change, no?"

"Yeah fun," And Kakashi left thinking, 'can't wait to see the faces of the Jonin tomorrow or the face of Raven when he finds out who his Jonin is.' Hihihihi.

...

the next day.

the Hokage called in the Jonin. After looking at the list for the last time. He reads it to the rest of the Jonin. When he reads out the last name and her student.

"Lord Hokage, you can't be serious." "You can't give her a team. Even a team with only one student."

Many of them in the room was thinking the same thing as everyone heard the team list being readout.

"I understand your worries, but as the Hokage, I feel this is the right decision. and I'll stand by it."

even after the Hokage said that there was some protest, but that went quit after the Hokage made his idea clear of a test team.

...

Today was the day that they were going to get their Sensei and all day he's been getting a bad feeling about it. He was sitting with Shikamaru and Choji talking about who their team mates were going to be. Shikamaru even wondered how Naruto passed his exam because he knew that he can't use the clone Jutsu. Raven just kept quiet. then the door flew open. Sakura and Ino were back at it again. fighting who was first in the class to sit next to Sasuke. then something happened. Naruto was kissing Sasuke. When I saw the faces of the girls, Raven was laughing his pants off. Before the girls could do anything to Raven, after beating up Naruto for taking Sasuke's "first kiss" teacher Iruka came in.

"Alright everyone, it's time for you to know in with team your in, together with your Sensei. Alright team 1, ..." As Iruka started listing off the teams, Raven tuned him out until he heard his friend's names. "Alright, team 7, Uzumaki Naruto, Sakura Hurano," "Yata" "Nooo" "And Uchiha Sasuke," "Nooo" "Yata" "And there Sensei is Hatake Kakashi. Team 8, Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuga, and Shino Aburame. there Sensei is Kurenai Yuhi. Team 9, ..."

"Team 10, Ah this year's generation of the Ino-Shika -Cho Trio, and lead by Sarotobi Asuma. and then ..."

Just when he wanted to continue a black ball came crashing through the window. Exploding in a shower of confetti and colored smoke. when the smoke cleared, Raven now knew when he was getting the bad feeling when he finally saw her. And to make it worse or in this case funny as hell. there was a banner saying, (The sexy, Single and Deadly Sensei of team 11: Anko Mirarashi).

She had a Dango stick in her mouth and a wicked smile on her face.

"Alright, where is my maggot?" Anko said looking around at the scared genin. Iruka came up with a tired look on his face.

"I was just about to announce your team, Anko. And did you have to come through the window?" but Anko was not listening to him.

"Ah shut the hell up. So who is on my team." Anko asked.

"Team 11, Raven, "Iruka said while reading from his list.

Anko looked at Raven and had the biggest smile anyone has ever seen. it went beyond what her face muscles should have allowed.

"Well well well, if it isn't Mr.smooth himself, hehe. Looks like today I get to finally taste you." Anko said. Making everyone in the room look at Raven with pity and questions.

Then Anko threw a kunai at his table. "What's with the tag?" Raven asked.

"That's the training field we'll be meeting in 20 min. So don't be late or I'm going to hehehe. On second thought be late." She said with a mischievous laugh as she jumped out the window.

"Alright, might as well go. Who knows what that crazy woman would do to me when I'm late." As he left to meet up with his new Sensei.

...

As he arrives at the training grounds, he could see a deep forest surrounded by a rusted fence with caution signs on them. Walking over to the tree to sit down. Raven could sense Anko in the tree on the far end of the training ground. 'She wants to catch me off guard, a test maybe.'

But Anko could detect that he was not fooled and smiled. ' Damn, He found me the moment he arrived. I knew he trained with Kakashi, but I didn't know he was this good already. Let's test him some more, hehe.'

after a while, Raven got bored, "Now why don't you come out, Anko-Sensei. Or do you like staying up there in the tree?"

"cheeky brat, why did you let me wait for two hours if you knew I was there?

"didn't know if you were testing or playing me. Sensei."

"well, you got some skill, you get an A for that. Introductions are not necessary because well you're the only one. now let's have a test, shall we? Let me see, what shall we do? Ah, I know."

then Anko made a sign. "Summoning Jutsu."

And 4 snakes were summoned. "Survival training, survive the assault of my summons until the evening. hihi. Attack my beauties, leave nothing behind." then the snakes made their assault.
