Seide, the dark elf, glanced at the bookish catgirl and gentle-sounding archer bunnygirl and just nodded her head at her two teammates. She'd have to see how this would work out.
"Team Seven. You'll have jonin-sensei Kakashi Hatake. Sakura Haruno. Sasuke Uchiha."
"YES!" said Sakura, cheering up and throwing both hands in the air as if she just didn't care.
KA-WHAK! went a piece of chalk as it impacted Sakura Haruno in the forehead.
"No victory dances in the classroom," said Iruka as he turned back to his notes. "Aoi Futaba."
"Ah," said the bespectacled girl.
Sasuke looked mildly interested. He'd seen the girl's kekkei genkai. She could store weapons and objects and summon them to her hand without the use of scrolls or other similar seals. Which could be handy, as everyone who'd stored a big scroll of their favorite weapons and then been caught in the rain could attest.
"Team Eight. Kiba Inuzuka, Millhiore Biscotti, Eclair Martinozzi. Jonin is Kurenai Yuhi."
Forewarned by Sakura's beginning to do something like that, Kiba avoided doing a victory dance. He was on a team with TWO dog-girls! Two CUTE dog-girls! Okay, one had pink hair and the other had green hair. One was kinda "princess-ish" while the other was kinda tsundere. But they were two cute dog-girls! Kiba decided that he would get some of the expensive incense to burn at the family shrine to thank them for this prayed-for-but-unexpected blessing.
"Kiba? Stop sparkling over there," warned Iruka. "Okay, next up. Team Nine. Your sensei/team leader will be Tonbo Tobitake. He's a chunin who worked in Torture and Interrogation prior to the current shortage of jonin to work as sensei, so try not to discourage him. Shino Aburame, Clinge Schatten, and Cecily Campbell."
"Interesting," said Shino as the dark elf grinned at him and shot him a thumb's up, while the catgirl swordswoman nodded politely at him. While Cecily had been initially repulsed by the number of times she'd seen an insect on him, the dark elf had been rather more intrigued. Cecily's kenjutsu was highly skilled, unless her emotional calm was disturbed. Clinge, on the other hand, was also into the sharp-and-pointy but favored daggers and a dual-wielding weapon style compared to Cecily's use of a two-handed blade. This could work out, with Cecily and Clinge engaging in melee and short-range attacks, allowing him time to deploy and use his insects.
"Team Ten is still in play from a previous year," said Iruka, moving right along. "Same with Team Eleven. Team Twelve is Hinata Hyuga, Choji Akimichi, and Ino Yamanaka. Jonin is Asuma Sarutobi."
Choji glanced at the two, frowning. He'd expected to end up on a team with Shikamaru and Ino, but apparently the flood of new graduates had caused that to be shelved.
Hinata gave off a disappointed sound, as she was not on a team with Naruto.
"Team Thirteen will be under Anko Mitarashi and is fast-tracked for Torture and Interrogation work. Scheib, Stich, and Schmerz. Good luck."
The three dark elf "minions" nodded, having expected that.
"Team Fourteen. Instructor Brioche d'Arquien. Naruto Uzumaki, Yukikaze Panettone, and -"
