The Spring Field Rabbit

Pervert Sensei

"I won't do it." The room of Jounin was packed with bodies and voices. Mummers and dissatisfaction over their team assignments had been occurring for the last half hour.

"But she's the top girl in her year! Usagi-chan has a well rounded profile, she's second only to her sister in test scores, and her taijutsu is ahead of every child in that classroom." The tanned male glared at the newly promoted jounin.

"I don't care, she's a civilian. I'm not going to waste my time teaching someone who won't stick it out, or worse becomes canon fodder." He wasn't neccesarily wrong or right, but the other Jounin didn't dare to be so bold in front of the Hokage.
"Every other team is full, she has to be put onto a squad!"
"I'll take her." All eyes turned towards the grey haired man who hadn't looked up from his book. Blue eyes trained on the lone figure, a sheepish smile appearing a half second later.

"Kakashi-kun, you already have your three-man squad, I can assign her to someone else."
"No. I'll do it." Kakashi turned a page in his book, looking increasingly disinterested as a dark haired male next to him sighed loudly.

"Oi, Kakashi! Don't be such an overachiever!"

"I have the Uchiha, because Fugaku will not trust his eyes to anyone else, and any other Uchiha already has a squad," Kakashi glanced briefly at his friend, Obito. "I have Uzumaki because frankly, you don't trust him to anyone else sensei. And I have Haruno because her genjutsu and intelligence balances the team well. But from what I hear, the four of them usually work as a unit, isn't that right Iruka?"

"Uh, well yes. The sisters are twins but they have entirely different strengths."
"Then it's settled. Besides, I'd like to see how my kohai has trained her."

"And so the four of you will comprise Team 7, and you'll be the new model we're trying out," Iruka smiles brightly at the four small children in front of him, headbands gleaming brightly.

They looked unconvinced.
"Sensei, not that we aren't happy to stay together..." Sakura started out almost shyly before Naruto took over.
"But that's complete bullshit!" Iruka flushed and tried to calm the children.

"They didn't want me right?" He turned towards the taller of the twins, Usagi staring at him blankly. "Sakura was the perfect fit for these two, so I'm the extra. My sensei didn't want me, right?" The four children stared owlishly back at Iruka. While he could see the anger simmering under Sasuke's eyes, and the shock from Naruto's, Sakura and Usagi just looked resolved.

"He had some misgivings about teaching a civilian, yes." Naruto nearly growled, and Sasuke wasn't far behind him. It was Usagi though, not Sakura, who grabbed both of their hands, stopping them from tearing out of the room. Sakura looked just as angry, but more calculating. 'Probably thinking of a way to hurt the man,' Iruka thought as he sighed before giving them all a serious look.

"This won't be the only time you'll face bias and criticism in your careers, ALL of you. The only thing we can do now, is move forward, and prove him wrong." Usagi nodded and gave him a small smile.

She dragged the two boys down into a bow with her, Sakura following suit.
"Thank you sensei."

The four children sat beside each other on the roof of the academy, staring at the man front of them. None of them knew him, but Sasuke had given the man the strangest look Usagi had ever seen from him.

"Soo... are we going to do something?" Usagi asked as the man only blinked at her before sighing.

"I suppose we'll do introductions." He sat, waiting for them to start.

"Well can you go first? We don't know what you want us to tell ya?" Naruto crosses his arms and did what must have been a failed attempt at looking aloof like Kakashi.

"Let's see, my name is Hatake Kakashi, I don't feel like telling you my likes or dislikes, Dream for the future... never thought about it... as for my hobbies, I have lots of them." Kakashi remained stone faced as ever as Sakura grumbled.

"All we really learned was his name." Usagi nodded and whispered back.
"He's kind of creepy. They wouldn't put us with a pervert, would they?"
Naruto shivered, "No way my old man would let that happen!" Sasuke hummed in agreement, none of the children realizing that Kakashi could hear everything they had said. He sighed before pointing to Naruto.

"You. Blondie. Start." Naruto grinned up at Kakashi, blinding him with a familiar smile.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki! I like ramen, pulling pranks, and Sasuke-teme! My dislikes are paperwork and the council because they're always getting in the way of my old man's free time!" Sasuke dropped his head in his hands and Sakura giggles next to him. "My hobbies are fuinjutsu, training with Ero-senin, and trying different types of ramen! And my dream is to surpass my old man and become Hokage."

Kakashi nodded and pointed towards Sasuke.
"You're next porcupine," the kids all hid their snickering as Sasuke glared at Kakashi.

"I'm Uchiha Sasuke. I like training, gardening, and my family," at this, Naruto grinned and Usagi and Sakura gave soft smiles of encouragement. "I hate people who invade my personal space and liars. My hobbies are creating genjutsu with my friends, ninja tag, and cooking. My dream is to become the Chief of Police." Kakashi looked slightly confused before moving on to Sakura.
"Pinky."

Sakura's wyes sparkles as she smiled. "I'm Haruno Sakura. I like Chibiusa, flowers, and quiz books, in that order. I dislike bullies and people who doubt me!" Sakura punches the ground at this, small cracks forming around her fist. The kids all seemed to be used to the occurance, but Kakashi was intrigued. "My dream for the future... to protect people like Lady Tsunade!"

Kakashi swore he saw Lady Tsunade in her fist just moments ago.

"Lastly, shorty." Usagi didn't look offended, but rather preened.
"I'm Haruno Usagi! I like Itachi-sama, dango, and Sakura-nee, the order is not important!" Sakura pouted at her sister as the boys snicker next to her. "I dislike people who can't tell my sister and I apart. My hobbies are fan dancing and tea ceremony." Usagi smiled, but all Kakashi could think was that the girl was too soft to be a ninja. Fan dancing and tea ceremony? He sighed.

"And your dream for the future?" Her blushed darkened.

"To protect my precious people, and support my most precious friend." Kakashi stayed quiet for a minute before accepting her answer. 

"All right then. Tomorrow we'll be having a survival exercise, so you'll all need to meet me at the training ground at 5:30." Naruto and Sasuke groaned before Sakura could speak.

"What kind of survival exercise will we be doing sensei?" Kakashi finally straightened up and looked down at all four of them.

"I already know you four work well as a team, but what I don't know is if you can work as shinobi."
