Chapter Two

Four years later the girls all graduated from the academy. They graduated together as best friends and ended up all being on a five ninja team. At first; this confused everyone – including the girls – but soon enough they found out they were all on the same team because they all had the same gifts.

The girls have all grown in height and have changed when it came to their hair styles and clothes. The tallest at the moment was Sachi. She still had messy black hair but now her fringe covered one of her eyes. She wore the Konoha protector across her forehead. Her fringe covered part of her head protector however the rest was resting underneath the protector. Her hair went past her shoulders and now her skin looked like she actually left the house. Sachi now wore a short black dress that went to her mid thighs, a short green and black kimono jacket with a large piece of ribbon tied around her waist and black open-toe boots. She also wore a thick green scarf wrapped around her neck that went over her chin.

The second tallest is now Setsuka who now has hair that goes to the middle of her back. She now wore a white dress that went above her knees with a slit at the side which showed a pair of black leggings. She also wore a black waist coat over the dress with her Konoha protector on a sleeve wrapped around her left arm. She had black open-toe boots and had a pouch wrapped around one of her legs.

The third tallest was Shigemi. She had her hair in a high messy pony tail; it was a little longer compared to her eight year old self. She wore a loose black vest over a bandage on her chest, a black skirt with a slit and black leggings underneath, a pair of gloves and a pair of sandals. She wore her Konoha protector around her neck.

The fourth tallest was Shizuma. Her hair now went to her waist. She wore a pale lavender top with a piece of purple fabric wrapped around her waist – over a black skirt – a black glove on her right arm and she wore black open-toe boots. She had her protector wrapped around neck, like Shigemi.

Finally; the shortest out of the five was Saske. Her curly hair is now in a high pony tail, however when it's down it can reach her waist. She wore a white and blue hooded jacket over a plain white shirt, a pair of dark blue leggings and black open-toe boots. She had her Konoha protector wrapped around her right leg.

The girls were all waiting in the classroom after being announced which teams they would be in; waiting for their squad leader to come and collect them. So far only them, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura who were a team and Ino, Shikamari and Choji were waiting for their squad leaders. Everyone else had been collected by their squad leaders, which made Naruto, feel on edge.

Meanwhile...

Kakashi Hatake; the new squad leader for Team Seven, was walking through the streets of Konoha while reading his book. He was on his way to collect Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura when he bumped into someone. Kakashi ended up dropping his book because of the collision. He looked at the person who he bumped into and went wide eyed.

"Kireina..." He spoke in a gasp. The woman he spoke of was Kireina Senju; the great-granddaughter of the first Hokage. She was a young woman in her mid-twenties with long messy purple hair that covered her left eye, soft brown eyes that sparkled in the sunlight and soft sun-kissed skin. Kireina is quite well-known around Konoha as "Thorn" or "Broken Ninja" due to a bad mental health history. However she is also known as "Beautiful Rose" because of her beauty and sharp – like thorns – attitude.

Kireina looked up at Kakashi with her sparkling brown eyes. She opened her lightly red painted lips to speak, however Kakashi heard nothing. He just stared at the beauty standing before him. Kireina frowned when she realised Kakashi wasn't listening to him. She placed her hands on her curvy hips as she attempted to lecture the male standing before him.

Kakashi examined where the female's hands where. She had the right curves any guy would love. She also had a big bust and a nice behind to go with it. Just then Kakashi felt a sting on his cheek which was from a slap Kireina had given him to make him come back to his senses. Kakashi blinked before looking at the female while shaking his head. Sweat ran down his head as he scratched the back of his silver locks.

"Sorry, what were you saying?" The male asked with an awkward laugh, making Kireina frown once again. She then let out a sigh as she bent down to pick up Kakashi's book, which gave the male in front of him a nice view of her curves from behind. When Kireina stood up straight she passed Kakashi the book.

"I was asking where you were going." Kireina spoke with a stern voice that sounded gentle. The stern showed that she was a serious however the gentle tone could make anyone believe she had a gentle soul. Kakashi took the book and put it in his pocket.

"I was going to pick up my new students, you?" Kakashi questioned as the two began to walk. Kireina placed her hands behind her head as she looked up at the clear blue sky.

"Pretty much doing the same..." Kireina responded gently as she watched the birds in the sky fly on by. As the two jounin's walked through the streets everyone stopped and stared. Some were women whispering about Kakashi, others were people whispering about Kireina.

"Oh, by the way." Kakashi spoke, making Kireina look at him. Kakashi looked at her with a closed eye smile. "I wouldn't bend down with that outfit if I was you." He spoke with a slight chuckle. Kireina went wide eyed as her entire face began to turn crimson. She then punched Kakashi's arm gently, making the male laugh.

"You pervert!" She exclaimed with a huff before folding her arms over her large chest. Kakashi looked down at the female while rubbing his arm. He let another chuckle leave his lips.

"Come now, if you were that angry with me you would have punched me into a wall." Kakashi stated as he opened his grey eyes. Kireina looked up at the male with her brown eyes, frowning with her face still slightly red. The frown then went and she gave him a closed eye smile.

"What can I say? We've been friends since the academy so I guess I can't get angry with you." Kireina stated before turning her head around. Kakashi looked away with a little bit of a pink blush on his cheeks. He tried to cover it up with his mask as he avoided eye contact with the woman he walked with.

. . .

Now left in the classroom were the girls and Team Seven. They all looked bored as they waited for their teachers. Naruto walked up to the door and put up the chalk board eraser above the door as 'revenge' for making him wait.

"This is such a drag." Sachi groaned as she rested her head on the desk. Setsuka awkwardly laugh as she patted the female on the back, trying to give her reassurance. Shigemi let out a sigh as she stared at the door, trying to imagine who they might have as a squad leader.

Will they be nice like Iruka-Sensei was?

Or will they be cruel and force them to do extra training whenever they get in trouble?

The female let out another sigh as she continued to try and imagine what their leader would be like. While she continued to sigh, Saske leaned against Shizuma's back while reading a book as Shizuma sketched out – what it seemed to be – outfit ideas in a sketch book with a smile on her face. Just then they heard the door move. Everyone looked up at the door and watched the eraser fall on Kakashi's head. Everyone had lines under their eyes as the tall male walked through, dusting his hair off. Naruto laughed at Kakashi for falling for the prank while the others wondered how a fully qualified jounin fell for such a silly little prank.

"Pfft; are you ok there Kakashi?" Kireina questioned with her hand over her mouth as she held in her laughter. She walked through while looking at the male who let out a sigh. Shigemi's eyes sparkled as she looked at the two.

"They... Look..." Shigemi began to say, catching everyone's attention. "So awesome!" She exclaimed with her fist in the air as she suddenly rose from her spot. Setsuka and Sachi – who were sat beside the female – flinched back at her sudden outburst. Everyone else just stared at the female with lines under their eyes.

"So which of you are part of team one?" Kireina questioned as she placed a hand on her hip. The five girls all raised their hands, making Kakashi look at the female who let out a sigh. She then stood up straight and smiled. "I'm your team leader Kireina Senju. Please follow me and we'll start our introductions." Kireina spoke gently. The girls all nodded their heads as they rose from their seats and followed Kireina out of the classroom, leaving Kakashi with Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura.

. . .

The girls were all sat in a small field full of flowers. There was a small bench with a table that they all sat at. It was silent for the first few moments as Kireina thought about what to say.

"So, who would like to introduce yourself first? Your name, best jutsu you can do at the moment and your reason for becoming a Ninja." Kireina explained as sweetly as possible. She wore a soft smile on her face, making the girls feel less nervous. Sachi put her hand up, making all the girls to look at her.

"I'm Sachi Nara of the Nara Clan. My best jutsu at the moment is Black Spider Lily and I don't really have a reason for becoming a Ninja." Sachi explained with her arms folded behind her head as she wore a bored expression. Kireina tilted her head as she looked at Sachi. No reason to become a ninja. Sachi then opened her eyes. "Oh, I guess I sort of do. I want to protect my friends and family. Is that good enough reason?" Sachi questioned as she looked over at Kireina. Kireina nodded her head with a smile.

"Next?" Shigemi raised her arm, making Kireina look at her. "And who might you be?"

"I'm Shigemi Yamanaka of the Yamanaka Clan. My best jutsu at the moment is Mind Clone Switch Technique and my reason for becoming a Ninja is to prove the people who called me a weak Jutsu user wrong. I also want to protect the village." Shigemi explained with a confident smile on her face. Kireina returned her smile with a closed eyed one. Shizuma then raised her hand, making the girls look at her.

"My name is Shizuma Inuzuka of the Inuzuka Clan. My best Jutsu at the moment is one that I use with my best friend and companion Ōkami. The jutsu is fang over fang. My reason for becoming a Ninja is to follow my parent's footsteps in protecting Konoha before the Nine Tailed Fox attack." Shizuma explained with a soft smile on her face. Kireina looked at Shizuma with a sad smile.

"Did they die in the attack then?" Kireina questioned in a soft tone. Shizuma looked down at Ōkami with a sad smile. She nodded her head softly. "I see..." Kireina spoke. She then looked at Saske and Setsuka. "Next?" She asked with a smile.

"I'm Saske Hyūga from the Hyūga Clan. My best Jutsu at the moment is Chakra based water needles combined with my Byuakugan. My reason for becoming a Ninja is to protect my Clan, my friends and Konoha." Saske explained in her monotone voice; not showing any kind of expression. Kireina had sweat run down her face as she noticed the Hyūga showed no kind of expression. She then smiled as she looked at Setsuka who hugged her white rabbit.

"I'm Setsuka Uchiha of the Uchiha Clan and this is my friend Yuuki. My best Jutsu at the moment is probably my Gen-jutsu and the reason for me becoming a Ninja is to prove that not all Uchiha's had darkness inside them like they say." Setsuka explained as she scratched the back of her head.

"Gen-jutsu... So that means she has already unlocked the Sharingan." Kireina thought as she closed her eyes, thinking about what her new students all said. "Nara... Yamanaka... Uchiha... Hyūga... and Inuzuka... The clans themselves are quite well-known inside the village... Especially Uchiha and Hyūga... Sigh... What did old man Hokage sign me up for...?"

"Hey; you're a jounin, right?" Sachi questioned, bringing Kireina out of her thoughts. Kireina looked over at Sachi and nodded with her eyes closed. "How old were you when you became a genin? Were you the same age as us? Oh and what about Chūnin and Jounin?"

"She looked completely disinterested before and now she's asking so many questions...? That's a Nara for you..." Kireina thought with sweat running down her face. She just gave a closed eye smile. "Well I became a genin when I was 7, a Chūnin when I was 10 and a Jounin at the age of 13. I then went on to becoming an Anbu Leader when I was 16 but resigned a few years ago." Kireina explained with a soft tone. All the girls had a sparkle in their eyes as they heard Kireina's explanation.

"You... Were so young..." Shigemi gasped with wide eyes as she looked at Kireina. Kireina opened her eyes and looked at Shigemi who looked excited. "You were probably the youngest, right?" Shigemi questioned as she leaned forward on the table, curiosity shown in her eyes. Kireina shook her head, laughing slightly.

"I was the youngest female, but I wasn't the youngest child. Actually; Kakashi Hatake – the man I walked into the classroom with – was the youngest to become a Genin. He was 6 years old." Kireina explained, showing a little bit of admiration in her eyes as she spoke about the white haired male. The girls all thought of Kakashi; remembering he fell for the old chalk board on the door prank.

"The guy who fell for the old chalk board on the door prank...?" Shizuma questioned with a raised eyebrow as she looked at her new sensei. Kireina laughed at Shizuma's question, holding her stomach while she laughed.

"Yes; that's correct. He's an old friend of mine." Kireina explained with a smile on her face. All the girls instantly smiled at each other deviously, making Kireina have sweat run down her face. She knew a devious smile when she saw it considering she was once a devious child who pulled pranks and made plans when it came to her friends during the academy days. "It's nothing more than friendship, so don't ask."

"Oh come on!" Sachi exclaimed as she hit her hand on the table, making Kireina laugh. She shook her head with a small sigh leaving her lips, smile still on her face. Sachi sighed, as did the other girls, but then Sachi had an idea. "Hey; since you used to be an Anbu... That means you have the skill to summon something right?" Sachi questioned with curiosity filling her usual bored eyes. Kireina nodded her head softly and raised her hand.

"I can summon five creatures." The girls went wide eyed at the number Kireina mentioned. "Rai, - the Lord wolf of Lightning – Mizu, - the shark of the ocean – Kaisai, - the Phoenix spirit of fire – Kūki, - the crow lord of the sky – and finally Onmyō – the earth deer of the shadows." Kireina explained as the girls jaws dropped. Each of these five creatures are well known and feared by many shinobi who comes across them.

Rai is the Lord Wolf who once served a King known to be able to control lightning. Mizu is known to be a shark that can control oceans and has been known to destroy cities by the shore as orders from people he's previously served. Kaisai is a phoenix spirit who was once seen as a God. Kaisai could control fire in whatever way she wanted and has destroyed nations. Kūki is the Lord of the sky. Not many people are seen as "worthy" to be able to summon him. In order to find him a ninja must first climb up the highest mountain, find a door that will reveal another mountain where he will test the Ninja on if they are worthy to have a contract with him. Finally Onmyō... Just like Kūki not many people are seen fit to have a contract with her, however Onmyō is much gentler than Kūki. Onmyō is found in the darkest area of a forest where she hides in the shadows. To be able to form a contract with her the ninja must be able to do one thing. Take control of her shadow, so only Nara's have been known to be able to form a contract with her.

"How were you able to sign a contract with Lady Onmyō, the Lady deer of the shadows?! To form a contract with her you need to take control of her shadow! Only Nara's know how to do that!" Sachi exclaimed as she pointed at Kireina with her finger and a shocked expression on her face. Kireina had sweat run down her face as she saw the girl look confused and shocked all in one.

"Well from what I know of my father... He was a Nara... So I'm able to possess shadows because of his blood runs through me. My uncle from the Nara Clan taught me how to when I was younger. Though I never really continued to learn the jutsu's of the Nara Clan, I know how to possess shadows." Kireina explained calmly. Sachi's eyes went wide and steam came out of her ears as she fell back.

"Sachi!" Setsuka gasped as she caught her friend who eyes span. Kireina scratched the back of her head as she saw the girls all trying to act calm.

Soon, Sachi woke up and Kireina explained to the girls that there will be a test to see if they deserve to be Genin or not. If they pass, she will train them. If they fail, then they will be sent back to the academy. The girls all showed determination to pass as they didn't want to be sent to the academy. When the girls left, Kireina stayed and smile as she watched them all leave. Once she could no longer see the girls Kireina stood up and bit her thumb. She then did a hand sign before placing her hand on the ground.

Smoke surrounded the area, but when it left due to the strong wind, standing in front of Kireina were five animals. One of them was a wolf with white fur, black ears and glowing yellow eyes. One of his glowing yellow eyes had a scar over it. The wolf was quite large in size; he looked large enough to be able to carry three adults. The wolf also wore some sort of cloth wrapped around his neck with the words "Lord Rai". The cloth also had a Konoha Head protector connected.

The second was a shark who was summoned in a small puddle. The shark wasn't your average sized shark; he looked quite small. He had one eye closed with a scar over it and grey eyes that seemed to glow. He had a cloth on his fin with the words "King Mizu" with a Konoha Head protector connected.

The third was a Phoenix that glowed bright with the golden flames that surrounded her. Her flaming red eyes glowed as bright as the sun, almost blinding Kireina. The flames soon dimmed down however and showed a cloth around her neck. She had the name "Lady Kaisai" on the cloth with a red Konoha Protector.

The fourth was a small black crow with one yellow eye and one white eye. There was a yellow streak in one of the crow's wings and around that wing was a cloth with the name "King Kūki" with a Konoha Head Protector.

Finally; the fifth was a dear that wore a flower crown on her head with flowers decorating her antlers. She had soft brown eyes and wore a green cloth around her neck that said "Lady Onmyō" and had a Konoha head Proctor connected.

All the creatures looked around before looking at Kireina in confusion. Kireina had a smile resting on her lips as a bright aura surrounded her. Lines appeared under the wolf's eyes.

"Oh dear... It's that smile." He spoke in a deep voice, making Kireina go stiff. The bright aura disappeared and a dark look appeared in Kireina's eyes as she opened them with a frown. A vein popped out of her cheek as she looked over at the wolf.

"What's that supposed to mean?" She asked with a twitching eye. The wolf let out a sigh as he laid himself down while looking up at Kireina.

"What did you call us here for Lady Kireina? I see no enemies." The deer spoke softly in a gentle tone. Her voice made her sound kind as well as wise. Kireina sat on the bench table as she looked at all of the creatures.

"I've been assigned a new squad and I need a favour from you." Kireina explained as she looked at them with a serious expression. "I need you to keep them up all night so they're tired tomorrow morning. I want to test their abilities when they're too tired to function properly." Kireina added to her explanation.

Tbc...
