Chapter 1 - Team Seven

"Alright, my sweet little Genins! I'm Jiraya the Toad Sage! Student of the Third Hokage! Pursuer of Tsunade Senju! Novelist! And researcher!" A man in his early twenties said with a huge smile on his face as he animatedly danced around as he introduced himself.

A ten year old boy with short black hair snorted at it and nudging the blonde boy next him he said "Here researcher means pervert."

The blonde stifled his laughter and a red haired girl sitting next to the boy scrunched up her nose in distaste and murmured "I can't believe my sensei is pervert."

Jiraya stopped his play as he heard that and said with all seriousness "Hey I resent that! I'm not a pervert." At that the girls eyes sparkled in hope, but it became lifeless as Jiraya continued with a shit eating grin "I'm super pervert."

"And I'm a man of culture." The short haired boy said as he nodded sagely.

Jiraya and the girl looked at him strangely and the blonde sitting next to the boy told them "Ignore him, he say made up words sometime."

"Every word is a made up word." The boy pointed out and the blonde groaned.

*Clap!*

"Anyway, I would like you three, to introduce yourself." Jiraya said as he looked at the, three genins.

"I'm Minato Namikaze! I aim to become the Hokage." The blonde boy said.

"Kushina Uzumaki! And I'm going to be the first female Hokage." The red haired girl said with a pointed glare at Minato.

"Shinsui Nara. I'll try my best to keep Sunshine and Princess alive until their old age." The black haired boy said with a salute.

Again Jiraya stared at him for a moment and said "Well, I didn't believe my Sensei when he said that there's an enigmatic Nara, because they are enigmatic by nature. But you're a tad bit above that."

"Well I'm built different." Shinsui said with a shrug.

"Yeah, right." Jiraya just nodded along with it as his mind went back to the meeting he had before coming here.

------------------------------------------------

"Jiraya, the team that was assigned to you has been dismantled and restructured." A man over forty years old said as he let out a puff of smoke from his smoking pipe.

"What do you mean by that Sensei?" Jiraya asked confused, because as far as he knows his team was full of civilian kids.

Sighing, the old man said "The Nara clan head requested his nephew, Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze to be included on the team led by you. Because of this request, only Minato will remain in your team the other two will be transferred to another team." Pausing the man continued "You know what Kushina is, so keep an eye on her and the Nara kid, my information said that he was the one who pushed his uncle to act."

"Is that a problem? From what I know he is Minato's and Kushina's best friend. Maybe he wanted to keep that friendship even in the genin team." Jiraya said his analysis of the situation.

"Hmmm. That could be it. Or, it could be that Mito-sama had instructed him to watch out for Kushina." The old man said with a shrug.

"Uh-huh, that's also a possibility. He's her deciple after all. And I have no idea how that kid achieved that." Jiraya told his sensei, then scratching his head he said "Sensei, can I leave now? I'm already running late."

The old man just nodded his head in confirmation and Jiraya quickly left the office.

'Well, I do know but I can't tell anyone thanks to seal made by Mito-sama.' The old man thought as he shook his head a few moments after Jiraya left the office.

------------------------------------------------

"Alright! There's going to be test tomorrow." Jiraya said with a grin.

"What test?" Kushina asked with trepidation.

"Uh-huh. That would be telling." Smiling at the three he continued "Meet me at the training ground seven sharp 7am. Tardiness will be met with demotion to an Academy Student from a Genin."

Before the three could voice out anything, Jiraya vanished from the spot without making any sound.

"Cool." Minato muttered under his breath.

"Why do we have more tests??" Kushina gritted her teeth as she stomped on the ground.

"Barbeque." Shinsui said while looking at the clouds.

"What?" Kushina and Minato asked at the same time.

Glancing at them from the corner of his eyes, he said "Beef shaped clouds."

They both looked up and to their surprise, there really was a beef shaped clouds floating and seeing that both of their stomachs growled in hunger.

Kushina became red faced due to embarrassment, Minato looked sheepish and Shinsui had a small smile on his face hearing their stomach growling in hunger.

Taking pity on them he said, "Come on, let's got to Yakiniku Q. My treat."

They both nodded instantly at his offer for free barbeque.

On their way to the restaurant, Minato and Kushina was arguing who would become the Hokage first and observing them, Shinsui thought to himself with a smile 'She's the one winning.' Then his smile turned into that of contemplation as he looked up to the clouds 'I still don't know how that pack of wolves are in my shadow, black with purple flames adorning them. Are those my summons? Even when I showed one to Grandma Mito, all she said was that it's thanks to my lineage. I know I'm from Nara and Senju, but that still doesn't make any sense, for me at least.'

Shinsui held his hands interlocked behind his head and diverged to another line of thought 'It's been five years since I unlocked my chakra, and along with it came idea about the usage of my clan's shadow techniques. Most of them worked, some of them didn't, like the shadow reanimation. That would have been cool, having an army if thousands in my shadow, but tough luck I couldn't do it.'

"Shinsui! Tell him that I'm going to be the Hokage." Suddenly, Kushina pulled him out of his musings as she raised her voice while posting at Minato.

Looking at her with a bored face he said "Sunshine will beat you in that regard." Hearing that Kushina's eye's narrowed and her hair started to slowly defy gravity,but he didn't give her a chance for giving into her temper as he continued with a mischievous smile "But the Princess can be the Hokage wife."

At that her face changed into that of a deer and Minato sputtered on the side. Patting on both their shoulders, he walked past them while singing "Life could be a dream

Life could be a dream

Do do do do, sh-boom

Life could be a dream (sh-boom)

If I could take you up in Paradise up above (sh-boom)

If you would tell me, I'm the only one that you love

Life could be a dream, sweetheart

Hello, hello again, sh-boom and hopin' we'll meet again, boom (ba-boom).... "

Kushina looked at Minato as Shinsui just kept singing, and Minato shrugged helplessly and said "He sometimes sing in an unknown language."

Kushina sighed exasperated and feeling like a headache coming in her genin life.
