Author’s notes: The Yellow Flash and Kakashi meet the rest of their team, done in the same style used for Team Two. Speaking of whom....Terribly sorry, Kyouji snuck in to make a plot point. Very very sorry.
Disclaimer: I own Kyouji and that’s it in this fic
He sees the two gennin and isn't terribly impressed, but smiles through it and says, "Hullo, I'm your new sensei." He doesn't bother to give a name, because everyone knows the Yellow Flash of Konoha, and very few people think to call him anything other than that. He pushes away the speculating voice in his head that's starting to sound more like a certain ninja he knows("You know, pretty soon people are going to forget you even have a real name."), and gestures to the sulking silver-haired chuunin at his side. "And this is Kakashi, your other teammate."
"I'm Uchiha Obito," the dark haired boy declares with a grin and a peace sign. His new sensei knows this as well as he knows this boy is the runt of his generation.
"My name is Rin." The girl smiles slightly, though more at Kakashi than her sensei.
The blonde jounin is already getting a headache. The look Kakashi is giving him clearly says 'And I have to put up with this?'. Rin is oblivious to the attempts Obito is making to get her attention. He makes a note to bring a bottle of sake to Jiraiya-sensei as apology for ever thinking the girl on his own gennin team was cute.
~0~0~
After introductions were made, and Kakashi had his first ever fight with Obito over something ridiculous and Rin burst into tears when they ignored her attempts to get them to stop and their sensei seriously considered sending them ALL back to the Academy right there and then, the Yellow Flash takes his two gennin and chuunin to a nearby training field and holds up two bells. "If you don't come at me with the intent to kill," he begins, serious and without a trace of a smile, "You will not get these bells. If you don't get a bell, you get tied to a log. This is my test to see if you're truly ready to be a gennin of the Leaf."
Kakashi looks like he wants the two to fail just so he won't have to go through pointless D-class missions again. Obito puts his goggles more securely over his eyes. Rin just looks confused. "I thought that's what the graduation exam was for."
Their sensei bites back a derogatory remark about chuunin teachers and their pitiful excuses for standards. "It's my job to make sure they didn't go easy on you."
Obito blinks before blurting out, "But there're only TWO bells! No matter what we do, someone's going to end up tied to a log!"
The jounin shrugs. "Figure it out. And you can start trying...now."
Kakashi tries for a direct attack and ends up facedown in the dirt near his new teammates for his troubles. Obito hauls him up without ceremony. "We should try working together!" he insists. "I can distract him while you and Rin-chan grab the bells-"
"Like that'll work," Kakashi all but sneers. "Sensei's a jounin, do you honestly think whatever you do will be THAT distracting?"
Kakashi tries attacking again, and this time Rin does, too. She's in the way and Kakashi really needs to work on teamwork, their target thinks, and wonders if he can convince Kyouji to teach the pre-gennin kunoichi class and maybe the girls will learn how to mother-lovin' fight and not just be pretty. His fellow jounin is frighteningly good at passing for a woman, he could easily pretend to be a substitute teacher. Again.
It turns out that Obito isn't hanging back in fear, instead he is waiting for an opening to use his distraction- the Uchiha Fireball. It's a very good distraction in the blonde's opinion- Kakashi very nearly gets a bell, but manages to trip over Rin in the process and blow his chance.
And suddenly their teacher is sitting in a tree on the edge of the field. He's not looking forward to teaching this dysfunctional three-man cell and wonders again how Jiraiya-sensei managed to get him to do it. He supposes it might have to do with copious amounts of alcohol and/or forgery, but now Rin is chucking shuriken at him, and it's in his best interests to duck-
and hit a wire he hadn't seen until then. Well fuck, is his last thought as he is suddenly airborne.
~0~0~
He wakes up to find Rin cleaning the long cut in his arm and Kakashi and Obito unwinding the rest of the wire from around him. "You've got a concussion," Rin informs him matter-of-factly, tapping a bandage on his forehead where his forehead protector usually is. "You're lucky you didn't break anything, sensei."
Kyouji is standing a few feet away, impassive save for the fact that he's nearly as white as a sheet. No wonder, things would get messy if Orochimaru's jounin mentee killed Jiraiya's protégé and pretty boy of the war, accident or not. "My apologies," he says simply. "I didn't expect anyone to be using this particular field until later."
"You're just lucky it's Friday," the Yellow Flash grumbles as he mentally reassesses his students. Kakashi isn't fighting with Obito now; instead they're working more or less together to get the wires off their sensei. Rin may have not shown any fighting prowess, but to be able to tell he had a concussion and properly field dress a wound at her age is very nearly unheard of. Maybe he can do this after all.
Obito blinks. "Sensei, it's Saturday.”
Kyouji seems to get it and the colour returns to his face. "Friday comes twice this week, didn't you know?" He collects all his wire and disappears in a puff of chakra smoke.
"Sensei?" Rin holds up a pair of bells. The boys look murderous. The man who will become the fourth Hokage genuinely laughs and ties the boys to the logs.
"I think I'll keep you around, just for the entertainment."
~O~O~
Tell me if it sucks?
EDIT:
Note: The Friday bit is because of Sake Friday- the one night of the week the Yellow Flash looks forward to, since it's the one night he lets go and gets as drunk as possible. And Kyouji has just earned himself the privelege of supplying the booze this week.
