Hitake Kakashi mentally reviewed what he knew of his new students one last time. Having three girls on the same team was an oddity in Kohana, the village hidden in the leaves usually having a higher male to female ratio on average of graduates and active ninja. This graduating class was no different, with around two boys to every girl, but sometimes unusual paid out in spades.
Which is why the jounin had specifically requested these three on his team.
Uzumaki Naruko: Jinchuuriki of the Nine Tailed Fox, but not letting that fact rule her young life. Excels at taijutsu, trickery and stealth but with horrible chakra control. Daughter of Uzumaki Kushina and the fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato; though the father was redacted in the file.
Training up the daughter of the man who trained him just seemed right to Kakashi.
Uchiha Sachiko: Survivor of the Uchiha Massacre, along with her mother, by sheer luck of not being in the Uchiha district when her elder brother, Itachi, went insane and slaughtered their clan. Already beginning training with her bloodline ability, Sachiko has shown great skill in single combat tactics, both taijutsu and ninjutsu.
Placing a hand over the covered red eye Obito gave to him, Kakashi felt he was one of the only active jounin instructors able to give first hand Sharingan training.
Haruno Sakura: Born to a civilian family; surprising, considering she has almost perfect chakra control. Lacking the massive chakra reserves and bloodline ability of her teammates, Sakura instead focused on the academic training, earning perfect scores in all knowledge and practical tests; including a few advanced cypher and genjutsu recognition trials.
With the correct training, she could be the perfect support role for the other two and balance out the team. Probably have her focus on evasion, genjutsu and basic medical jutsu later on. Good thing he was Copy-Cat Kakashi who ‘knew over a hundred different jutsu’.
Pushing off from the side of the building, he put away the book he was idly reading and took one last look into the distance.
‘Yup, my little students are still there.’ He thought with a masked grin, purposefully late by a half hour just to see what they’d do. So far, it was just sit there and talk lightly amongst themselves while looking bored.
Hopping down to the street, he made his way towards the Academy and the room his fresh Genin were in. As he traveled, he thought about the different tests he could have them do to prove they had the Will of Fire ready to be kindled within them.
The Hokage left the specifics up to each Jounin to decide, but each test had to be about the two things Kohona valued over all other in its ninja: Comradery and Teamwork. He was thinking about using the bell test; the same one the Fourth Hokage had used on his own team. It just seemed right to pass it along to this team.
Kakashi guessed he was just getting sentimental in his old venerable age of twenty seven.
Treading his way silently down the empty Academy hallway, he stopped outside the classroom containing his students. Figuring that he’d let them stew for long enough, he slid open the door and smiled under his dark blue mask.
“Hello my little students…” His greeting stalling out as he blinked in surprise.
Filling all thirty seats of the classroom were thirty girls, ten each of Naruko, Sachiko and Sakura, all separated out into teams of three. Each girl eyeing him with the same look of annoyance, before saying, “You’re late!”
Say what you will, but having thirty females say that to you in sync with similar tone will freak out almost anyone. Kakashi was no different.
“Hmm, what do I think of you three…” He mused, rubbing his masked chin before nodding. “You’re pretty creepy.”
