Chapter 24 - Chapter 24 Team Creation (4)

Iruka shakes his head irritably, but he knows he doesn't have any time to reprimand them and has to continue calling out the rest of the team.

"Team 11 will consist of Sasuke Uchiha, Kaori Hirota, and Hisateru Higawara. Your Jonin Sensei is Kakashi Hatake."

Naruto slightly glanced at the three named students with slight pity in his eyes. Keimei also did the same thing, which wasn't ignored by Sasuke and Hisateru.

Both Naruto and Keimei know the infamous reputation of Kakashi Hatake, which is the fact that he is always 3 hours late every single time, so the village itself has had to adjust due to his chronic lateness.

Before Sasuke could even think of a reason behind Keimei's and Naruto's gaze, Iruka continued, which attracted both his and Satsuki's attention.

"Team 12 will consist of Keimei Uzumaki, Hikari Uchiha, and Karin Uzumaki. Your sensei will be Mikoto Uchiha."

'What?! 'Sasuke and Satsuki thought to themselves as a shocked expression came on their faces, which is normal if one thinks about the situation.

The twin didn't hear anything about this from their parent, and the fact that their mother became a Jonin sensei with their relative was greatly shocking, to say the least, as well as a little bit disappointing.

Everyone in the room was also shocked to learn such news, especially Mito, Menma, and Yayoi, who had close connections to Mikoto and her family. 

The trio even had to glance at the Uchiha twin and saw the latter's shocked expressions.

But the surprises didn't stop there.

"And finally, Team 13 will consist of Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Satsuki Uchiha, and Hinata Hyuga. Your Jonin sensei will be Fugaku Uchiha," Iruka finishes his announcement at the same time, astonished at the end.

This is especially after learning that Mikoto and Fugaku become Jonin sensei for this year. Iruka couldn't think of the reason why these two decided to become sensei and only teach one of their children, leaving Sasuke in the hands of Kakashi.

While Iruka knows that Kakashi is an exceptional ninja, his chronic lateness will definitely be a problem in teaching Sasuke.

Iruka only hopes for the best outcome for Team 11 as a whole.

Satsuki and Sasuke still had shocked expressions on their faces after learning their father did become a Jonin sensei for their batch as well.

This is especially true for Satsuki, who is assigned under the teaching of Fugaku. She is also currently thinking about the reason why her brother wasn't on their parents' teams but is unable to find any reason for it.

Sasuke felt disappointed by the fact that his Jonin sensei wasn't his parent but also started to have high expectations of his sensei.

Sasuke guessed that there was some special reason why he was under Kakashi's team; after all, the higher-ups of the village wouldn't assign one of the Rookies of the Year to some weak ninja.

Naruto wasn't surprised by the team line-up, especially about his 'siblings.' 

He already anticipated that Menma, Mito, and Yayoi would be on the same team; after all, training the village heroes was of the utmost importance.

Naruto did somewhat find intriguing the fact that Sasuke-sensei would be Kakashi and not his parents, unlike his twin sister, but he didn't dwell on such topics for a moment longer.

He was deeply disappointed by the fact that he wasn't assigned the same team as Keimei, though.

Speaking of the team, he did find it intriguing that his Jonin sensei is Fugaku Uchiha, who was the head of the Uchiha Clan and the father of Itachi Uchiha.

From what Naruto knows about the man, he was known and feared throughout the whole Elemental Continent and given the nickname Fugaku of the Wicked Eye thanks to his prowess with the Sharingan, and he is another one of the legends born during the Third Great Ninja War. He is also another candidate to be considered for the role as Fourth Hokage.

This made Naruto start to find his Jonin sensei interesting. He was especially interested in how Fugaku was planning to teach the team.

Naruto also suspects that there's a deeper meaning behind this assigned team, but he doesn't know what.

'What are you planning, Minato? 'Naruto thought to himself while a small smile appeared on his face.

Satsuki secretly glancing at Naruto out of the corner of her eyes.

Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.

The only thing that made him of any concern to her was the fact that he was Mito's brother, and even then they didn't seem close, so she didn't know much about him.

She also knew the terrible reputation he had throughout the whole village, and the fact that they were part of the same team was a great surprise for her, but she didn't hold any hope for his capabilities, especially given the fact that he was well known to be dead last in their class.

To him, graduating was already a miracle in her eyes.

Hinata sighs and is slightly sad as she didn't become teammates with Menma, which she greatly wishes for. She then takes a look at her teammates.

She knows Satsuki a bit, or at least she thinks she does. She used to be friendly and get along with everyone, but she changed at the same time Sasuke changed, and the terrible incident happened to their clan.

Naruto, on the other hand, is a complete mystery to her. He is quiet and doesn't talk to anyone as far as she observes.

She remembers that even at a young age he was treated differently from his siblings. The people of the village didn't look at him the same way they did when looking at his siblings, which really confused her.

Naruto would also get made fun of by all the other kids, and Yayoi and Menma would encourage the other kids to stay away from him.

Many of Hinata's friends would encourage her to do the same thing. Some of her elders and fellow clansmen would say the same thing, and her mother would then say that Naruto was nothing but a normal boy and that Hinata should befriend him.

But because of her shy nature, she failed to befriend him.

Hinata wouldn't imagine the fact that she and Naruto are currently on the same team, and this time maybe she can know what kind of person Naruto is.

Iruka then announced to everyone to wait patiently for the arrival of their respective Jonin sensei and slowly made his way outside the door.

The moment Iruka left the room, everyone started to talk to each other, especially the people who are on the same team.

"You seem somewhat disappointed," Keimei suddenly said, which made Naruto turn his head and stare at her.

"Yes," Naruto nodded.

"I thought that we could be the same team," he added.

"So do I," Keimei responds in a low voice.

Keimei was indeed happy with her assigned team, especially the fact that she was teamed together with Karin, but she also hopes to team up with Naruto.

Unknown to everyone, she and Naruto have known each other for years now, and Naruto even sometimes helps her when it comes to training and improving her capabilities.

Unlike everyone who sees Naruto's graduation as some kind of miracle, Keimei knows Naruto's capabilities the most and has great confidence in him graduating.

In fact, throughout the entire week she was excited to know which team she would be assigned to and had great hopes that Naruto and she would be teammates, but fate seemed to have other plans for the both of them.

"What do you think of the team lineup?" Keimei asks, her beautiful voice tinted with intrigue.

"Elaborate"

Naruto knows that Keimei is asking for something. He knew that they had somewhat roughly the same opinion when it comes to everyone assigned to the team, so it made him wonder about her true intention behind the question.

"What do you think about your assigned team, especially with your Jonin sensei?" 

Keimei was suspicious about Naruto's assigned team, especially his Jonin sensei. It was well known to everyone in the village about the close connection between Minato and Fugaku, so the fact that the latter became a Jonin sensei despite being the head of the Police Force is clearly questionable in the grand scheme of things.

'Something must be going on that Fugaku had to become a Jonin sensei,' Keimei thought to herself.

"Nothing at all," Naruto answers.

Keimei slightly raised her eyebrows after hearing Naruto's response.

She knows that Naruto already noticed the abnormality behind his assignment. In fact, Keimei bets that he notices the abnormality after hearing the Jonin sensei of his team.

Keimei didn't accept the fact that Naruto knows nothing about it, but after thinking deeply about it, it wasn't that Naruto didn't have some guesses behind this decision but actively chose to ignore it to surprise himself.

Keimei couldn't help but roll her eyes after reaching this conclusion, to which Naruto just gave a small smile.

Just waiting for a few minutes when a man opened the door and entered the room, which attracted everyone's attention. They know that the person that is going to enter the room is one of the Jonin sensei.

This person had brown hair that reached his shoulders and onyx-colored eyes with visible creases below them. He is wearing a standard Jonin vest along with a black shirt with the symbol of the Uchiha clan on the shoulders, shin guards, and a black open-front apron with a white diamond design along the bottom.
