Shunshin no Naruto

Chapter 6: Genin Teams

 A week has passed for the fresh Genin, and as such, Naruto decided to switch up his outfit once again. Naruto still wears a somewhat baggy blue t-shirt. The shirt now fades from orange at the bottom to blue at the top. Over the t-shirt, Naruto wears what appears to be a black leather-like harness for his tantō which ran across his chest and fastened over both his shoulders. The blonde also wears orange pants, with a shuriken holster above his right knee. Naruto wears a pair of black high-top shinobi sandals that went up to his mid-calf, a pair green goggles around his neck, and an orange clothed hitai-ate on his forehead. He now has bandages around his forearms up to his fingers, over the bandages he has segmented metal arm protectors, and shin guards.

Naruto is the last one in the classroom, and as he enters the classroom, Shikamaru says, "Hey Naruto! This room is for everyone who graduated."

Naruto then points his forehead with his thumb, and says, "Shika, do you see this? This is a hitai-ate, and signifies that one graduated from the Academy. Here I thought you Nara are always the smartest in the room?"

Shikamaru replies, "Naruto, you know you are troublesome, right? Anyway, good job, you troublesome blonde."

Naruto says, "Me? Troublesome? Ha, you wouldn't have it any other way, Shika!"

Shikamaru says, "I guess you are right, troublesome."

Naruto then sits down next to Sasuke, and waits for Iruka to come, so that he, and everyone here knows who is in their teams. Iruka enters the classroom shortly after Naruto sits down. The Umino says a boring speech, and says who is on Team 1-6.

He then says, "Team 7 consists of Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha. Your Jounin-sensei is Kakashi Hatake. Team 8 consists of Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuga, and Shino Aburame. Your Jounin-sensei is Kurenai Yuhi.Team 9 is still going strong. Team 10 consists of Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi. Your jounin-sensei is Asuma Sarutobi. The Jounin-senseis will be here after lunch.

Shortly after lunch, Asuma Sarutobi, and Kurenai Yuhi enters the classroom.

Asuma is typically a laid-back individual, and did not get himself involved in things unless absolutely necessary. He is a heavy smoker, but, despite this, he would abruptly break the habit under certain circumstances Not always seeing eye to eye with his father, Asuma later came to respect his father's role as Hokage: referring to him as a great father, and was proud to have been born into the Sarutobi clan.

Asuma, a former member of the Twelve Guardian Ninja, and the son of the Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. He is a tall man, with brown eyes, olive skin, short black spiky hair, and a beard. His clothing consists of the standard Konoha ninja uniform with the sleeves rolled up halfway, flak jacket, regular shinobi sandals and Konoha hitai-ate. He also wore a sash that had the kanji for "Fire" marked on it around his waist, a pair of black bangles, and bandages wrapped around the arms of his sleeves.

Kurenai is a caring and brave woman. She shows great concern towards her students and takes a vested interest in their growth. Her personality is unyielding, honest, and simple. She is also portrayed as the "big sister type".

It has been heavily hinted that Kurenai was romantically involved with fellow jōnin Asuma. The two appeared together in most of their scenes, and the other characters made it a point to note this fact on several occasions. When Kakashi Hatake found the two together at a dumpling shop, he asked if they were on a date, which made Kurenai blush and made an excuse that she was running an errand, and was it.

Kurenai, who is hailed as the Genjutsu Mistress. She is a fair-skinned woman of slender build. She has long black untamed hair reaching her upper back, and very unique eyes that are red in colour, with an additional ring in them. She wears make-up consisting of red lipstick and purple eyeshadow. Her outfit consists of a red mesh armour blouse with only the right sleeve visible. Overall, this is a very broad material which resembles bandages with a pattern on it similar to those of rose thorns. Her hands and upper thighs are also wrapped in bandages and she wears the Konoha hitai-ate and standard shinobi sandals.
