Team 7 and 14, and Team 14's introductions.

(Third PoV)

(Hokage Office)

Inside the Hokage Office, Hiruzen watched children through peeping jutsu, even letting Kakashi and Yugao have a look.

Both Kakashi and Yugao were members of ANBU. And while Kakashi was pulled out of it due to Guy's persistent requests, Yugao was specifically pulled out to oversee Team 14.

While Yugao is officially just a 'Special Jonin', the village often lie about some people's strength to hide their true strength from other villages. Some jonins like Kakashi are for intimidation though.

While Yugao is not the strongest, even amongst the special-jonin, her specialities like kenjutsu, sensing and genjutsu definitely makes her on par with the weaker jonins, like Kurenai.

Team 7 and Team 14 are two of the most high-profile teams.

Team 7 has Naruto Uzumaki, Kyuubi's jinchuriki and the son of Fourth Hokage, Sasuke Uchiha, one of the last Uchiha in the world and the only one in the village, and Hinata Hyuga, the daughter of the Hyuga clan head.

As for Team 14, it has Karin Uzumaki, a full-blooded Uzumaki who has adamantine chains like Kushina, Shiori, a seer and a very rich girl, though not capable of using chakra. And well, Sai is a normal one, who was previously in ROOT before it got disbanded due to Danzo's death, and has been working in the Jump as an artist as well part-time.

Team 14 will take safer missions, and remain close to Konoha.

Yugao's eyes twitched as Shiori was feeding Naruto lunch in the Ichiraku, openly in front of everyone. Even kids flirt more than Hayate and herself.

Karin was busy with Sakura, discussing about medical ninjutsu, Sai was busy in finishing his work before deadline, Sasuke was being jealous of Naruto and relieved after not having to do most of the things he signed contract of, and Hinata was...

Well, holding her chopsticks with food towards Sasuke, but he was ignoring her, lost in his own thoughts, and looking towards the Uzumaki Park that was visible out of Academy's window.

"What do you think?"

Hiruzen asked the two, and Kakashi became very Nara-like.

"Troublesome."

Yugao shrugged.

"They seem like good kids to me though."

Putting aside Shiori, of course.

"Well, then go and take your teams. And remember to keep them safe."

""Yes Hokage-sama.""

Both left the office, and headed to the academy.

For Kakashi, though, a black cat crossed his path, so he had to take another route.

And coincidentally enough, an old lady needed his help in returning to her home in the path he took. Her house was on the mountains.

---------------------------

After the academy hours finished, Yugao came along with other jonins.

"Team 14, I am Yugao Uzuki. Follow me."

Shiori, Karin and Sai followed her out of the class, but not before Shiori kissed Naruto in front of everyone, without any ounce of shame.

'Maybe I should be this assertive with Hayate like this kid?'

Shaking away these embarassing thoughts, Yugao led the kids to training ground 14.

"Alright. Let me introduce myself first. I am Yugao Uzuki. I specialise in kenjutsu, sensing, genjutsu, and a bit of medical ninjutsu.

I will be your sensei from now on. So, if you have any questions, you can ask me without any hesitation."

Shiori raised her hand.

"Yes?"

"Do you want to be a model one of my company?"

"No-"

"I was thinking of creating a marriage boutique and club. I will give you a special discount since you are my sensei."

"...Alright."

Yugao was embarrassed by this strange girl.

"Alright, let me introduce myself. I am Shiori, soon-to-be Shiori Uzumaki. I like my Naruto, money, fashion, and my dream is to become the richest princess in the world and marry my Naruto.

And well, I guess I am good with fuinjutsu, though not necessarily useful in battle. And, I like Katanas. So, I would love to learn kenjutsu."

Next was Karin's turn.

"I am Karin Uzumaki. I love Butter Chicken, and want to specialise in fuinjutsu, ninjutsu, including medical. Though I don't know if kenjutsu is for me. And ah! I am a good sensor."

Finally, it was Sai's turn.

"I am Sai. I love drawing with my brother, and well, I am not really sure about which path will suit me in becoming a ninja. But, I will do my best!"

Yugao nodded in approval at Sai. He was in Danzo's ROOT, but after Danzo's death, he, along with all the children were pulled out and sent to attend the Academy. It seems that he has adjusted well.

"Alright. Congratulations to all of you for graduating from academy, but, you haven't become Genins yet. You need to pass my test before officially becoming genins.

And don't worry. It will be just a simple test, so be prepared tomorrow."

Saying that, Yugao left.

She wasn't allowed to fail this team anyway. So, she will just train them like she was trained in ANBU.
