The atmosphere in the viewing room was electric with anticipation. Everyone had just witnessed Kyo's accidental graduation, and now they were eager to see what came next.
"I can't believe he graduated without even trying," Naruto was still grumbling, though there was fondness in his voice.
"Let's see how he handles the team assignments," Sasuke said, leaning forward with interest.
---
"Eh? Nani?" Kyo asks in confusion.
All of them facepalm at Kyo's reaction as the neon blond girl giggle, and she says, "Too late, Kyo... Hehehe."
The entire room burst into laughter at Kyo's delayed reaction.
"He's still processing!" Kushina giggled, holding her sides. "That's adorable!"
"Even after all that training, some things never change," Ryo said fondly, watching his son's confusion.
"Um... Iruka-Sensei, may I ask something..." Hinata wants to ask something.
Iruka looked at Hinata as he said, "Yeah, sure."
"Why Kyo-kun passes the Genin test? He's, or we didn't start the test yet?" Hinata wants to know, Iruka replies.
"Good question, Hinata," Hiashi nodded approvingly. "Always seeking understanding."
"Ohh... So well, Kyo has a special case here... As you guys know, Kyo can't use ninjutsu, so basically, he is a Taijutsu user. So he didn't get the test as you guys do... Well, especially, this is not the real test, but... When he was fighting with Kiba earlier and winning that enough to make him pass."
"That makes sense," Hiruzen stroked his beard. "Practical demonstration of skill rather than standardized testing."
"It's similar to how we tested wartime graduates," Tobirama observed. "Efficiency over formality."
"Ohh."
All of them have thought about how Kyo got so strong and fast, except Naruko, Satsuki, and Hinata, that already know Kyo are powerful to begin with.
"The confusion must be palpable," Shikamaru noted. "Their worldview just got shattered."
Ino suddenly walks toward Kyo. "Kyo-Kun, when you get so strong?" She asks Kyo that get everyone's attention.
"Here comes the interrogation," Ino said with a knowing smile.
Kyo got nervose, "W-Well, I-"
"He's terrible at explaining himself," Tenten observed with amusement.
Naruko cuts him off while Kyo rubs his head.
"Kyo is always that stronger Ino, and for your information, Kyo is the one that punches the villager that you guys hear about... Well, he did not punch them for fun... he punched them to protect me... Hehehe, and that will show you that Kyo loves me more... HAHAHA- OW!" She was smacked in her head by Satsuki.
"Oh, the declaration of war!" Anko cackled with glee. "This is getting spicy!"
"Naruko's staking her claim publicly," Kushina said with pride, though she winced at the head smack.
Satsuki scoffed. "Don't cross the line, Naruko..."
"Satsuki's not having any of that," Mikoto giggled. "Good for her!"
Naruko gives a sheepish smile while rubbing her head. "Sorry, Hehehe."
Ino suddenly yell. "I don't care if you are a childhood friend or like a sister to him. I'm the one who will take Kyo's heart!"
"Bold declaration!" the real Ino laughed. "I like my alternate self's confidence!"
"This is escalating quickly," Kakashi observed with his eye-smile.
Naruko and Satsuki glare at the Yamanaka heiress, "WHAT DO YOU SAY!"
"You say what! No, I'm the one who will!" Sakura interferes, and they start arguing with each other while Iruka sigh that Kyo has fangirls chasing him.
"Four-way battle royale for Kyo's affection," Jiraiya said with a perverted giggle before Tsunade's fist found his head.
"They're thirteen!" she reminded him forcefully.
"Poor Iruka-sensei," Naruto said sympathetically. "Dealing with fangirl wars."
"Well, girls, time to break that up... let's go back to class to take the test..." The girls ignore the teacher and continue arguing, except for Hinata.
"Smart Hinata," Neji noted. "Using their distraction to her advantage."
Hinata smile. "Kyo-Kun, let's go back..."
"Uh? Okay," Kyo replied in confusion, and Hinata grabbed his hand, which got the girl's attention.
"STRATEGIC GENIUS!" Hanabi cheered for her sister. "While they fight, she acts!"
Hinata blushed furiously. "My other self is so bold..."
"Look, Hinata, grab Kyo-Kun's hand!"
They all look to Kyo and Hinata, who their holding hand, walking back to Academy.
"HINATA!!" All the girls yell in anger.
The room erupted in laughter.
"Hinata wins this round!" Temari declared with amusement.
"The quiet ones are always the most dangerous," Shino stated matter-of-factly.
---
"Well, time to take the test. I call the name A-Z, okay! Well, except Kyo over there, he already passes the test... well, do you all understand!" Iruka explains to all of his students.
"Must be awkward for Kyo," Sasuke observed. "Sitting there while everyone else tests."
"YES, IRUKA-SENSEI!"
Iruka nodded, "Good now, let's start with...."
Then the test starts one by one.
---
Later, Most of Kyo's classmates passed the test.
Naruko jumped for joy while she said, "Alright! we pass Satsuki, Hinata!"
"They all passed!" Kushina cheered. "My girl made it!"
"Of course they did," Mikoto added proudly. "They trained hard."
Hinata nodded with a smile. "Yeah... thanks to our training together."
"Yeah, and don't forget the training with Kyo last week," Satsuki said with arms crossed.
Hinata look shocked as she asks, "Wait, what? You guys training with Kyo-Kun last week?"
"Oh no, Hinata's about to be upset," Kiba predicted.
Naruko nodded, "Yeah, I told Kyo that we want to train together... So he accepts it..."
Hinata got sad when she didn't get a train with Kyo, "Hmm, I wish I was there, hmm..."
"Aww, poor Hinata," Sakura said sympathetically. "She missed out."
Naruko chuckled as she smiled, "Don't be like that, Hinata. I'm sure that Kyo will love you to be there too..."
"Naruko's being surprisingly supportive," Ino noted with surprise.
"They're friends first, rivals second," Tenten observed approvingly.
"Are you sure?" Hinata asks with hope.
Naruko smiled and replied, "Yeah, of course!"
Satsuki then notices something as she asks, "Talking about Kyo... Where is he?"
"He said he wants to go to the bathroom," Naruko said,
"Even super-powered Saiyans need bathroom breaks," Choji said between chips, causing chuckles.
"Ohh," Satsuki said as she leaned back in her seat.
Then suddenly, the glass door opens and reveals Kyo is back.
The Saiyan boy goes back to his seat while Iruka announces.
The team member from 1-6 until team 7 was announced.
"Here it comes," everyone leaned forward in anticipation.
---
"Okay, for the team 7 members are Satsuki Uchiha and Naruko Uzumaki," Iruka announced as the two best friends smiled at each other,
"They're together!" Kushina and Mikoto said happily.
"Sakura Haruno," The pink hair girl jumped in joy because she has the strongest Kunoichi on her team,
"And Sakura makes three," the real Sakura said, interested in her alternate self's placement.
"and Kyo Uchiha."
The room went silent for a moment.
"YAHOO." Naruko and Sakura said at the same time.
"FOUR PERSON TEAM?!" Naruto shouted in shock. "That's not fair!"
"And Kyo's the only male," Sasuke noted with a mixture of sympathy and amusement. "That's going to be... challenging."
When the three of them heard Kyo in the team, Sakura and Naruko had joy on their faces, while Satsuki had joy in her heart.
"Satsuki's trying to play it cool," Mikoto giggled. "But she's just as happy."
Hinata and Ino felt sad because Kyo was not on her team, and Iruka continued the announcement.
"Poor Hinata and Ino," Kurenai said sympathetically. "They must be devastated."
"This is going to cause so much drama," Anko predicted with glee.
(All the teams are just the same as the canon, only Team 7 has some changes)
---
Iruka just announced the whole team member as he asked, "Any questioned?"
"Oh, there will be questions," Shikamaru predicted.
Shikamaru pulls his hand up into the air and Iruka notices.
"Of course my other self notices the irregularity," Shikamaru said.
"Yes? Shikamaru?"
"Iruka-Sensei. Why does team 7 get four members while we get only 3, and why is Kyo the only guy in the team?" Shikamaru asks lazily.
"Valid questions," Shikaku nodded at his son's logic.
Iruka put his hand under his chin as he started to explain, "Ohh, like you all knew that... Kyo is the lower in the Academy. He maybe passes the test, but the total score is the one that puts him on the team... Like Satsuki and Naruko is the top score in the Academy, why Kyo in the team keeps the balance..."
"They think he's there to balance the team DOWN," Jiraiya laughed. "If only they knew the truth!"
"He could probably solo all the other teams combined," Madara stated flatly.
Shikamaru nod understand.
"But why is Sakura in team 7!" Ino issue the problem.
"Of course I'd be upset," Ino said. "Three rivals on the same team with Kyo!"
Sakura gets angry as she has a tick vein. "You got a problem with that!?"
Iruka sigh, "Clam down, you two... As I said, she keeps the balance. She may not score top, but she got a perfect score in chakra control."
"At least alternate me has good chakra control," Sakura said with some pride.
"Haha, take that InoPig!" Sakura makes a smirk with a proud face.
"Some things never change," both Sakura and Ino said together, then glared at each other.
Iruka sighs once again as he asks. "So, any more questions?"
Ino were down as she replied with a sad tone. "No more Iruka-Sensei,"
"Poor Ino," Inoichi said, though he was somewhat relieved his daughter wouldn't be in that particular drama-filled team.
Iruka smiled, "Okay, then... well now, I will announce your Team Sensei(Teacher)..."
---
Iruka announced they, team teacher. "Well, for team 7, your Sensei will be Kakane Hatake. She will meet you in the next room."
"KAKANE?!" Naruto shouted. "Female Kakashi-sensei?!"
Kakashi seemed intrigued. "My female counterpart... interesting."
"I wonder if she's as chronically late," Guy mused.
A random boy groans, "Aw, man, Kyo gets more girls in his team. Not fair!"
"The jealousy is real," Kiba said with sympathy for the unnamed boy.
Satsuki saw Kyo look uncomfortable as she said, "Ignore them, Kyo."
"Good, someone's looking out for his comfort," Yuri said approvingly, though tears still threatened. Seeing her son's friends care for him warmed her heart.
Naruko jumped in joy as she said, "Well, team, what we were waiting for, let's go."
They all nod and walk to the next room.
Naruko opens the room door and notices no one there as she asks, "Where is our new Sensei?"
"And the Hatake lateness begins," Asuma chuckled.
Satsuki shrugged as she replied, "She may be late. Come on, let's take a seat."
They nod and take a seat.
---
After 20 min waiting, Naruko starts to lose her patience. "Ahh! Where the hell is she!?"
"Only 20 minutes?" Naruto asked incredulously. "We waited THREE HOURS!"
"Different universe, slightly better timing," Sasuke noted dryly.
Sakura also lost her patient. "Yeah, where the hell is she?"
Satsuki growled as she said, "It's been 20 min that we were waiting."
Kyo chuckled as he said, "Girls, relax... She must have something important to do."
"Ever the optimist," Minato said fondly. "Even after everything, he assumes the best of people."
Naruko suddenly has a prank idea to give her new teacher as she giggles evilly, "I think I gonna prank her."
"That's my girl!" Kushina cheered. "Prank the late teacher!"
Naruko takes the blackboard eraser and places it between the door.
"Classic," Naruto grinned. "I did the same thing!"
Satsuki looked at Naruko dumbfounded, "You think she gonna fall for that? She Jonin ninja."
"Logic vs pranking," Shikamaru observed. "Pranking always wins with Uzumakis."
Naruko giggles once again, "Well, I guess, to test her if she truly Jonin, she can dodge this with ease."
Kyo decided to have some fun, too, as he said. "Hey, let me help. I also want to see her skill, hehe."
"Oh no," Hiruzen's eyes widened. "Kyo's joining in?"
"This won't end well for Kakane," Tsunade predicted with amusement.
Satsuki sweatdrop at them as she says, "Really? Kyo too?" Then she saw Kyo make a Kunai trap as she continued with her words, "Uhh, whatever."
"She's given up," Fugaku noted with amusement. "Smart girl."
Kyo set some more traps to test his new teacher, and he made a Jonin-level trap level when they got distracted by a silly trap, and then the real danger came later. "And it's done."
"Jonin-level traps?!" Tenten exclaimed excitedly. "From a thirteen-year-old?!"
"He learned well from his experiences," Itachi observed. "Real combat teaches better than any academy."
Suddenly, they open and reveal the masked girl that covers her left eye with her ninja headband, pure silver long ponytail hair. Her outfit is what most Jonin wears with C-cup breast.
"So female me has long hair," Kakashi mused. "Interesting choice."
"She's pretty!" Ino and Sakura said together.
When the white hair teacher opens the door, she falls for the Naruko trap first.
"SHE FELL FOR IT!" Naruto laughed hysterically. "Just like Kakashi-sensei did!"
The blackboard erase hits her head, and second, when she takes a step, a second trap from Kyo releases multiple Kunai flying toward her, and she dodges to the left.
"The real trap begins," Shino stated.
Then she suddenly triggers another trap that she can't dodge, Kunai straight to her head. She closes her eyes, waiting for the pain to come, but it never did. She opened her eyes and saw Kyo holding the kunai inch away from her face.
The room went dead silent.
"He almost killed his teacher," Kurenai said in shock.
"No," Guy corrected, shaking his head. "He had perfect control. He stopped it exactly where he meant to."
"That's even more terrifying," Asuma muttered.
The teacher sighed, 'Damn it, I let my guard down... I should remember Kyo-Chan about his ability and intelligence.'
"She knows about him," Hiruzen noted. "Good, she's been briefed."
The teacher remembers when she was part of Anbu, and she had her shift or freely protecting the trio, but she always can't protect them when she is away because of other missions.
"She's been watching over them," Minato realized. "She's their Anbu guardian."
"That explains why she knows to be careful around Kyo," Kakashi added, understanding his counterpart's position.
The teacher can see Kyo, who is right in front of her, from a small boy to grown and taller than other kids his age. She is not going to lie, but Kyo acts more mature than any kid around the village, which makes her attracted to the boy years after watching him secretly.
"Wait, WHAT?!" Several voices shouted.
"She's ATTRACTED to him?!" Sakura exclaimed in shock.
"She's been watching him grow up and..." Ino trailed off, face red.
"That's... problematic," Kakashi said, looking deeply uncomfortable about his female counterpart's thoughts.
"She's an adult and he's thirteen!" Tsunade said sternly.
Kyo looks disbelieving as he puts the Kunai away and asks, "Are you really a Jonin?"
"Harsh but fair question," Neji stated.
Naruko laughs while holding her stomach, Sakura having an excuse to cover her up. Satsuki seemed didn't care, and Kyo sighed as he smiled at the teacher.
"At least he's not being mean about it," Hinata said softly.
"Yes, I am. Sorry for being late. I fell asleep," The teacher told the truth because there was no need to lie when the Saiyan boy just set a trap that actually could hurt her.
"She's honest at least," Kakashi said with surprise. "I always made up excuses."
Naruko looked disbelieving as she said, "What! fall asleep!"
Satsuki also look disbelieving, "Seriously? Well, serve you right. Kyo got you."
"No sympathy from the team," Mikoto giggled.
Kyo tries to calm the girls down as he turns toward the teacher and he says, "Girls, relax... I never thought you would fall for that easily, and you must be Kakane-Sensei."
"Still polite even after nearly killing her," Mito said warmly. "Such a good boy."
Kakane holds Kyo's shoulder as she leans closer and whispers, 'Yup, that's me... You really got my guard down... I'm Impress... Well, Cutie, tell your friend that meet me on top building, okay." She gives Kyo an eye smile.
The room temperature dropped several degrees.
"CUTIE?!" Kushina, Mikoto, and Yuri shouted in unison.
"She's flirting with him!" Anko said with a mix of scandal and approval.
"This is highly inappropriate," Hiruzen said sternly.
Kyo blushes because she calls him cute.
"And he's too innocent to realize what's happening," Ryo said, torn between anger and amusement.
Kakane disappears in Shunshin, and Kyo tells the girls that Kakane wants to meet them on the roof. They all nod at each other and leave the room.
"Those girls are going to murder Kakane if she keeps flirting," Temari predicted.
---
Naruko, Satsuki, Sakura, Kyo, and Kakane are there at the top of the building, waiting for them.
"What are we going to do here, Sensei?" Sakura asks as they take a sit.
"Well, first, we will be discussing your Name, what you like, dislike, your hobby and what your dream is," Kakane said with an eye smile.
"The introductions," Naruto said with nostalgia. "This brings back memories."
Sakura and the others didn't know how it worked, so she asked, "Why not you start first?"
Kakane looks at her team with an eye smile. "Well, that good question, well... my name is Kakane Hatake, my like is secret, my dislikes are nothing for now, maybe rapist, my hobby will blow your innocent mind, and my dream is also secret."
"Even her introduction is vague like mine," Kakashi noted. "Though that hobby comment is concerning given her earlier thoughts."
"Very concerning," Kurenai agreed, narrowing her eyes.
Naruko and the others look dumbfounded as the blond asks, "But that's only your name and your dislike. What about others?"
"As I said, it's a secret... now let's start with you, blonde." Kakane point to Naruko.
Naruko jump as she introduces herself, "Well then, my name is Naruko Uzumaki. I like Ramen... Satsuki, Hinata, Kyo, Asuka, and my closest friends. I like cooking too, thanks to my mother."
"She learned to cook," Kushina said with tears of pride. "My baby can cook!"
"What I dislike is ramen that was cooked for too long that gets super-soft or over 3 mins. I hate to see my friends hurt, especially Kyo went he trained so hard that it damaged his body."
"She worries about him overtraining," Yuri said softly, touched by the concern.
Kyo rubbed his back hair when he heard Naruko mention his name.
Naruko continues, "Also, I don't like bullies and rapists. My dream is to become Hogake so people will acknowledge me more... and..." She looks at Kyo. 'I want to stand by his side and become his wife.'
"SHE WANTS TO MARRY HIM!" Kushina squealed with delight.
"The dream is clear," Minato said with a knowing smile.
Kakane didn't hear the last part as she asked, "And what, Naruko?"
"Nothing, nothing!" Naruko quickly answers and waves her hand.
"Smooth deflection," Naruto said sarcastically.
Kakane hummed, "Hmm, okay, what about you, Pinky?"
Sakura smiled, "My name is Sakura Haruno. I like..." She looks at Kyo. "My hobby is watching someone..." Look at the Saiyan boy, "My dream is..." Look at Kyo.
"Could she be more obvious?" Sasuke asked dryly.
"She's thirteen and in love," Ino defended. "Cut her some slack!"
'Fangirl, Huh?' Kakane in thought as she sigh.
"Even Kakane recognizes it," Kakashi said with amusement.
Naruko looks at Sakura and asks she asks. "What you're disliked?"
Sakura makes a fist. "That InoPig..."
"HEY!" Ino protested while others laughed.
Kakane sweatdrop and point to Sasuki, "Um... Okay... Well, now you're grumpy."
Satsuki narrowed her eyes because she thought she was not that grumpy when she was with her friends, "My name is Satsuki Uchiha. I like Naruko, Hinata, Asuka and Kyo. I hate almost everything, but the most I hate is when my friends get hurt, especially Kyo and Naruko... my dream is to kill her... and..." She looks at Kyo. 'I want to be his wife.'
"Another one wants to marry him!" Mikoto said excitedly. "My daughter has good taste!"
"The competition is fierce," Temari observed with amusement.
Kakane looks at the female Uchiha, 'The one she wants to kill must be Isachi.' The white hair teacher looked at Kyo as she said, "And now, finally, you, Cutie."
"AGAIN with the Cutie!" Kushina growled.
"Someone needs to report this teacher," Tsunade said seriously.
Kyo has a red face again as the girls glare at the teacher.
"Good, they're protective of him," Sakura noted approvingly.
"Well... my Kyo Uchiha, I like Naruko, Satsuki, Hinata, Asuka, and my closest friends, I like ramen, and Asuka's cooking is the best. I hate my precious friends getting hurt or being bullies, and I hate when people take advantage of weak people. I will destroy them." Kyo's power rises a bit with the notice by Kakane, which makes her shock a bit.
"His protective instincts are strong," Hiashi observed. "And his power responds to his emotions."
Kyo continues, "My dream is to fight a powerful opponent and become stronger to protect Naruko, Satsuki, Hinata, Asuka, this team, my friends, and every one that can't protect themselves, even if it costs my life. I will do it. I don't want to make the same mistake that I make in the past." He said in a severe tone.
The room fell silent at the weight of his words.
"He still blames himself for his parents' deaths," Minato said quietly.
"He carries so much responsibility on his shoulders," Mito said sadly.
"But he's not alone," Hashirama pointed out warmly. "He has people who love him."
They all heard Kyo's words, their heart started racing, and their face was red. Kyo notices the red on their face.
"They're all falling for him harder," Anko observed with a grin.
"His sincerity is attractive," Kurenai admitted. "That level of dedication to protecting others..."
"Uh, guys, are you okay?" Kyo asks as they gain back their sense.
"Still oblivious," everyone said in unison.
All girls quickly reply, "Yeah, we're fine."
Kakane gives an eye smile as she asks. "What about your hobby?"
"Training, and eat!" Kyo replied with a smile as his power was back to normal.
"Simple pleasures," Guy said approvingly. "FOCUS ON SELF-IMPROVEMENT!"
Kakane sighed, "Okay, that is, for now. Tomorrow, I will test you all in the training field."
"The bell test?" Naruto asked eagerly.
"What? More tests. I thought that was the last test?" Naruko asks.
Kakane shook her head, "No, we will begin the real test tomorrow. Who fail will send back to Academy, so don't be late."
"Ironic, coming from someone who was late," Sasuke noted.
"Wait, you didn't tell us what time should we meet?" Sakura asks.
Kakane looked at her pink hair student as she said. "Oh, sorry about that... we will meet at Konoha main gate at 8 am, and I don't recommend eating breakfast, or you all will vomit the breakfast back. Okay, see ya, Cutie." Then she disappears into smoke.
"AGAIN!" Multiple voices shouted about the 'Cutie' comment.
"And telling Kyo not to eat breakfast?" Choji said in horror. "That's cruel!"
Kyo's face gets red as he quickly sighs, "Aww man, no breakfast... Well, I better do some training for tomorrow."
"Of course his first thought is training," Lee said with admiration.
Sakura looks at her not-so-secret crush, "Umm... Kyo-kun, can I join you?"
Kyo looked at his friend as he replied. "Huh? Umm, sure, why not."
"He's so accepting of everyone," Hinata said softly.
Sakura jumps for joy as she gets to train with Kyo for the first time.
"First time training with her crush," Ino said. "That's huge!"
Kyo looks at his best friends. "What about you, Naruko? Satsuki? Want to join me too?"
"Including everyone," Iruka noted approvingly. "He's a natural leader."
Naruko nodded, "Yeah, I will, but I want to go home first, so see you at the training field."
Satsuki smiled, "Same with me. I want to go home first and tell Asuka that we go to train too, or she will be worried again."
"Asuka really has become their big sister," Tsunade observed warmly.
In joy, Sakura remembers something, she must tell her parents too, or they will get worried. "Umm... Kyo-Kun, I just remembered. I told my parents to before we train."
Kyo gives a grin which makes Sakura blush as he says, "Nah, it's fine... so see you guys in the training field." He disappears at high speed and shocks Sakura.
"Showing off a little," Ryo said with fatherly pride.
Naruko sighed as she said, "Well, let's go home."
Sakura snaps from her shock as she asks, "Naruko, I didn't know where is the training field. You guys go."
Naruko walked back and waved it off. "Just meet us at the main gate."
"Good friendship developing," Mikoto noted. "They're including her."
Sakura smiled, "Okay."
When they walk away, they don't notice purple Anbu watching them from afar with Kakane.
"Anbu surveillance," Hiruzen noted. "Good, they're being protected."
The anbu saw Kyo's abilities again today and decided to go back and report, and then she disappeared into a cloud of smoke.
---
Later, Sakura is waiting at the main gate, as Naruko told her. Then she saw Naruko, Satsuki, Hinata and another two people that she didn't know.
"Training party!" Naruto said excitedly.
"Sakura! Sorry for the wait." Naruko calls her new teammate.
Sakura groan, "Your late, and Hinata here too."
Hinata nodded, "Hi Sakura-San."
Sakura waved it off, "Sakura, just fine, and who are you?"
Asuka and Hanabi deside to come for training when Naruko told them.
"Even Hanabi's joining!" the real Hanabi said excitedly.
"Oh, my name is Asuka. Nice to meet you, Sakura." Asuka said with the manor.
"Hanabi Hyuga, Hinata sister, nice to meet you!" A ten-year-old Hanabi introduces herself.
Hanabi has grown to 4,3ft and is a sweet girl when she has a better father and friends. Her hairstyle was about the same as Hinata's but brown with one long bang sweep to the side; she also wore a Kimono with combat gear underneath.
"She's adorable!" several females cooed.
"And already prepared for combat," Hiashi noted with approval.
Sakura smiles as she replies, "Same here."
"Enough talk. Let's go to Kyo." Satsuki said as they nodded.
"Straight to business," Fugaku nodded approvingly.
---
Kyo is training with the training weight that Gai gives him. He does push-ups, punches, and a squad with weight on his back. When he's done, he starts to sweat.
"Training weights!" Guy exclaimed with tears. "HE CONTINUES MY METHODS!"
"Well, that's for the warmup. I have added some more weight to the bracelet. It starts to feel lighter than before." Kyo said to himself as he pulled his jacket off and revealed the muscle that hid under it.
The room fell silent for a moment.
"That's... a thirteen-year-old?" Kurenai asked in disbelief.
"He's completely shredded," Anko said, wiping a bit of drool. "Damn."
"ANKO!" Tsunade warned.
"What? I'm just stating facts!"
In seconds, Kyo heard screaming from behind his back. He turns and sees, Naruko, Satsuki, Hanabi and Asuka madly blushing, While Sakura and Hinata have a nosebleed and fall to the ground on their back.
The entire room burst into laughter.
"They got KO'd by abs!" Naruto laughed hysterically.
"Can you blame them?" Ino asked. "Did you see those muscles?"
"He's THIRTEEN!" Several responsible adults reminded everyone.
Sakura and Hinata said at the same time, "I have no regrets..."
"THEY'RE DYING HAPPY!" Kiba howled with laughter.
"Death by abs," Tenten giggled. "What a way to go."
Asuka, Naruko, and Satsuki are the ones who see Kyo's muscular body every day but still can't hide their blushed face.
"Even with daily exposure, they're affected," Shikamaru noted. "Troublesome."
Hinata and Hanabi rarely see Kyo's bare body, she can't handle it when she sees it again, and Sakura is the first fangirl who sees Kyo's bare muscular body, which makes her hype and can't control the blush and nosebleed.
"The varying levels of resistance," Shino observed clinically. "Interesting."
Kyo sweatdrop as he asks, "Are you, girls, okay?"
"He has no idea the effect he has," Kakashi said with his eye-smile.
"Y-Yeah... we fine," Asuka replies with a blush on her face.
"L-Let's get to start training." Naruko tries to remove her blush as she walks away.
"D-Don't pull your cloth off! B-BAKA!" Satsuki tries to be strong, but she stutters and blushes, making her act fail.
"Even trying to scold him, she can't maintain composure," Mikoto giggled.
Kyo looked confused, "What? I still have my pants on."
The room groaned at his obliviousness.
"How can someone be this dense?" Temari asked in disbelief.
"He was raised by two parents who loved each other and trained by Guy," Minato pointed out. "Romance wasn't exactly a priority in his education."
"You definitely going to train with no shirt with me later, Kyo-Kun!" Hanabi said with a sly smile which made Kyo sweatdrop.
"HANABI!" Hiashi said sternly while his younger daughter in the room giggled.
"What? Alternate me has good taste!"
Hinata was still madly blushing as she thought. 'Mou, Kyo-kun will give me a heart attack someday.'
"Same, alternate me, same," Hinata mumbled, face red.
Sakura was drooling and blushing, 'I'm in heaven.'
"The thirst is real," Anko cackled.
Kyo sweatdrop as he sighs and says, "Uhh, so, can we train now?"
"Poor boy just wants to train," Jiraiya said with mock sympathy, though he was clearly enjoying the chaos.
---
Meanwhile, In the Hokage building, the 3rd Hokage is doing some paperwork and smoking with his pipe, and he senses something.
"Anbu report incoming," Hiruzen recognized the scene.
"Reports." Hiruzen said.
A purple hair Anbu appears in the blink of an eye as she says, "Hokage-sama, Kyo, show his abilities again. He has improved his speed to an impressive level when he fights with Kiba Inuzuka."
"Purple hair..." Kakashi mused. "Yugao?"
Hiruzen looked at the Anbu as he said, "Is that so? Well, your mission is now done. I will tell Kakane Hatake to keep looking at him, now you dismiss."
"So Kakane is taking over surveillance," Minato noted. "That's... concerning given her attraction."
The Neko Anbu felt sad that she couldn't keep looking, but Kakane was replacing her place, which made her feel slightly better. "Yes, Hokage-Sama." Anbu disappears and leaves Hiruzen alone.
"She wanted to keep watching over them," Kurenai observed. "She cares."
Hiruzen in thought as he said out loud. "Hmm, Kyo is truly going to be a great ninja one day. I just hope he doesn't go rouge like Isachi." He smoked his pipe again.
"Don't jinx it!" Naruto shouted at the screen.
"With the support system he has, I doubt he'll go rogue," Sasuke said confidently. "He has too many people who love him."
"Love can be lost," Itachi said quietly, causing a somber moment.
"Not Kyo," Yuri said firmly, wiping tears. "My son would never abandon those who need him."

The screen faded to black, leaving everyone processing what they'd seen.
"Well, that was eventful," Tsunade said, breaking the silence. "Four-person team, inappropriate teacher, and shirtless training."
"The dynamics are certainly interesting," Hiruzen mused. "A team of the village's strongest genin, though they don't know it yet."
"I'm more concerned about this Kakane," Minato said seriously. "Her attraction to Kyo is inappropriate."
"She hasn't acted on it," Kakashi defended weakly, though he too looked uncomfortable. "She's just... thinking."
"That's how it starts," Tsunade said firmly. "Someone needs to watch her carefully."
"Can we talk about how Kyo basically set a death trap for his teacher?" Sasuke interjected. "And succeeded?"
"He's already beyond genin level in tactical thinking," Shikamaru observed. "That trap sequence was brilliant."
"YOUTH!" Guy suddenly shouted. "Kyo continues to train with weights! His dedication burns bright!"
"Speaking of training," Sakura said, still slightly red, "did you see his muscles? How is that possible at thirteen?"
"Saiyan genetics plus Guy's training regime," Lee answered excitedly. "It's the perfect combination!"
"The poor boy's going to be mobbed by fangirls once word gets out about his physique," Ino predicted.
"He already is," Tenten pointed out. "Did you see how all six girls reacted?"
"Six girls, all in love with the same boy," Jiraiya mused before Tsunade's glare silenced him.
"It's sweet how they all train together," Hinata said softly, trying to shift the conversation. "They're like a family."
"A very complicated family," Neji added dryly.
"I just want to see the bell test," Naruto said eagerly. "How will Kyo handle it?"
"He'll probably end it in seconds if he tries," Sasuke predicted.
"But he won't," Minato said knowingly. "He'll want his teammates to succeed too."
"Can we discuss how Sakura and Hinata literally fainted from seeing him shirtless?" Kiba asked, still chuckling.
"It was the shock!" Sakura defended, face red. "We weren't prepared!"
"No one could be prepared for that," Ino agreed, fanning herself. "Did you see those abs?"
"THEY'RE CHILDREN!" Kurenai reminded everyone firmly.
"The team dynamics are going to be interesting," Kakashi mused, trying to redirect. "Three girls who all have feelings for their male teammate, led by a teacher who also seems attracted to him."
"It's a disaster waiting to happen," Asuma said, lighting a cigarette.
"Or the strongest team Konoha's ever produced," Hiruzen countered thoughtfully. "Their feelings for Kyo motivate them to grow stronger."
"Speaking of Kyo," Yuri said softly, tears in her eyes but smiling, "I'm so proud of how he includes everyone. He doesn't leave anyone out."
"He learned well from you both," Kushina said warmly to Yuri and Ryo. "Even though you're gone in that world, your lessons live on."
"The boy's building quite the harem," Madara observed bluntly, causing several people to sputter.
"MADARA!" Hashirama scolded.
"What? I'm simply stating facts. Six girls, all clearly interested, and he's oblivious to all of it."
"It's not a harem, it's... complicated friendship dynamics," Mito said diplomatically.
"Very complicated," Temari agreed with amusement.
"Can we just watch the next chapter?" Sasuke requested, tired of the discussion. "I want to see their first mission."
"Agreed," Hiruzen said. "Guardian-sama, shall we continue?"
The Guardian's light pulsed. "Very well. The next chapter awaits."
Everyone settled back, eager to see what challenges Team 7 would face next.
