Chapter 1: Mischief makers

"Train new shinobis?!" Naruto shouted.

Naruto, Sakura and Sai are in Tsunade's office at that time. One week from that day, the chuunin exams for genins are about to take place. Last night, fifteen new genins have successfully accomplished the preliminaries.

Sakura looked at her master and sighed. She knew this day will come. She even has an idea of what kind of genins are to be given to them.

"Does this team have any Jounins under them?" Sai asked in his emotionless voice. He stared at Tsunade for a while before turning to Shizune, who spoke for her master's behalf.

"Their Jounin is at the hospital at this time." Shizune replied, stroking TonTon on its head. "You see this team is a very unique team." Shizune added, obviously hiding the truth of Sai's question.

"Unique in terms of what?" Sakura asked, looking at her master, who only nodded her head. "Don't tell me they are the cause why their Jounin is at the hospital?" Sakura raised a brow, hoping her assumptions are untrue.

"Let us just say, they did it accidentally." Tsunade answered back, with a look not quite convincing to the three ninjas before her.

"Can we see them?" Naruto asked as Tsunade handed them three folders of the profiles of the genins they are going to train.

Sai approached the table and took the folders on the desk. Sakura and Naruto stood both at his side. Sai first opened the folder at the middle and a picture of a young girl with shoulder waist red colored hair and green colored eyes are revealed to them.

"Akemi Sakashita, 12." Sakura said. "This girl is from the Sakashita clan, a famous clan of poison users?" she turned to Tsunade who nodded. "She looks nice." Sakura smiled, reading the profiles top to bottom.

"Let us go to the next." Sai said opening the first folder.

"Hizumi Tanaka, 13." Naruto read. "What's fascinating about this kid?" he asked looking at Hizumi's picture.

"He is the leader of the team and it is said here that he is a water bender." Sakura replied. "Hey Naruto, this boy looks exactly like you though he looks cuter than you when we were still genins." Sakura teased.

TonTon squeaked on Shizune's arms.

Naruto glare at Sakura and rolled his blue colored eyes. "We may have the same hair color but we have lots of dissimilarities, right Sai?"

"Whatever. Let us go to the next."

Sakura giggled beside Naruto, whose temples began to twitch in annoyance. Sai opened the last remaining folder and everyone's eyes fell dumbstruck to the picture pasted on the profile paper.

"Is that Sasuke?" Naruto asked when he first laid eyes to the picture. The young boy had a long blue colored hair tied in a ponytail and eyes blacker than night and his head protector covering his left eye.

"Idiot! Sasuke doesn't look like that." Sakura protested.

"The name here says Ice only, is this really his name?' Sai turned to look at Tsunade who nodded.

"Ice is an orphan who lives with the Tanaka's. No one knows anything about him even the Hokage herself and some Anbus even the Jounins have no idea about his background." Shizune explained.

"See! He is not Sasuke!" Sakura exclaimed.

Tsunade cleared her throat and stood up from her chair. She looked at her window and then turned to look back to the three ninjas before her. "I do hope you train those three genins well. They maybe mischievous and somewhat annoying but they have private reasons why they do those things."

"All we need to do is to know them better, right master Tsunade?" Sakura asked.

Tsunade nodded. "I am counting on the three of you."

"Yes!" the three replied in unison.

MONDAY.

"Hello!" Sakura smiled brightly to the young girl before her. "Are you Akemi?" Sakura asked, staring at the young girl's green colored eyes.

"I do not like you!" Akemi shouted, walking away from Sakura, who twitched in annoyance.

Sakura turned back to look at the young girl but she was long gone.

"That brat!" Sakura muttered to herself, her anger rising higher from her normal anger meter.

"How did it go?" It was Naruto, walking towards Sakura. He was covered with mud from his jacket to his sandals. "Don't ask. Long story." He added, once Sakura looked at him disgustedly.

"She said she doesn't like me." Sakura replied, handing Naruto her pink colored handkerchief. "I was just asking her name then she walked away from me!" Sakura exclaimed in an enraged tone.

"Do you want to ask what happened to me?" Naruto wiped the mud from his cheek and his nose.

Sakura raised her right brow. "What happened with your genin?"

"He is good… at first, then when we were sparring with each other he threw mud all over me, and then disappeared from my sight after that."

"Let us just hope, Sai's having a progress." Sakura said, as the two of them walked themselves to where Sai and his genin are training.

At the training grounds, Sai was leaning on a tree while his genin leaned on the other tree across him. When Sakura and Naruto reached the training grounds, they were amazed that two shinobis were having a glaring contest with each other. Naruto approached Sai, who didn't even turn to look at him.

"What are you doing?" Naruto asked while looking at Sai's eyes, which were not even blinking.

"This kid did something to me." Sai replied, still unmoving.

"Then stop glaring at him, maybe he will stop." Naruto added.

"I can't! It seems he is controlling me. Stupid kid!" Sai exclaimed.

Sakura heard Sai and walked towards Ice, who turned to look at her with his cold black eyes.

"Would you mind stopping that?" Sakura asked.

Ice looked away from her. "Would you like to be controlled also?"

Sakura's eyes widened. "I don't want too! But if you try controlling me then I will try to dispel it." Sakura replied, trying to control the anger from her voice. "Stop this at once, Ice!" she glowered at the young boy, who then smiled.

"You're just like him. Do adults like controlling younger ones? We do not want you dominating over us," Ice said walking away from the training grounds.

Sakura turned around and found the other two of Ice's teammates waiting at him, meters away from her. Naruto walked over to Sakura ad Sai followed suit, his eyes still staring at Ice's back.

"Why don't you stop doing this training session? We don't need your help!" Hizumi shouted a ball of mud at his hand.

"If you continue this, you will end up like our teacher." Akemi joined in, giggling like a little demonic doll.

"If this is not our mission, we will approve with your demands but this is a mission, got it brats?!" Naruto shouted in a frustrated tone.

"Wow, Hizumi-kun! He sure looked like a growling lion!" Akemi squealed.

"Kind of stupid, right?" Hizumi cackled, dropping the ball of mud on the ground.

"What did you say?!" Naruto growled in annoyance.

"You heard us!" Hizumi and Akemi laughed.

"This is kind of annoying and frustrating at the same time. We cannot train these children if they find this training a mere child's game." Sai told his teammates, who nodded in approval.

"But I don't want to lose to a child!" Naruto wailed.

"Then let us play with their little games," Sakura grinned mischievously. "It will be a piece of cake. We've been in that stage, we can play their dirty games, right?"

Naruto smiled brightly while Sai nodded.
