Chapter 1
"I...See..." Kakashi said in face of the pinkette peculiar reaction to his name, although he really didn't, "And no comment. You'll have to try harder then that to find out." he informed the girl, and she nodded with determination. The pinkette was civilian born. Where would she have 'heard all about' Friend Killer, ANBU Captain Kakashi of the Sharringan? And, furthermore, why was she so chipper about it? Most of the stories told about Kakashi were not kind or clean things. If she had 'heard all about him', she should be terrified. Instead, she seemed fairly comfortable, maybe even glad to meet him. Their was a weird relief to her, and he didn't know what to do with it. So, instead, he just moved on.
"Anyway, as I was saying. I'm Hatake Kakashi. I have no intention of telling you my likes and dislikes." Minato-Sensei's son wrinkled is nose in displeasure, but the pinkette just started giggling. He elected to ignore it. "As for my dream......I have a few hobbies."
"Kakashi-Sensei," the pinkette weakly protested, still giggling. Her gaze was focused with a creepy intensity on him, but he somehow felt that her attention was drifting elsewhere. "Kakashi-sensei, all we learned about you was your name."
"Yeah!" The blonde cried, with more conviction then the pinkette. Kakashi soildered on with how he scripted this conversation out in his head, again ignoring their protests.
"Now it's your turn. You first." He snapped his fingers and singled the girl out. She sat a little straighter, eyes clouding over for a second before clearing her throat. Kakashi got the ominous feeling that she would be a larger headache then her file lead on.
"I'm Haruno Sakura! what I like...I like reading. Being alone. The night. training. Ichiraku Raman. Sasuke, I guess. And Naruto, of course!" She added hastily with a glance at something invisible, to the surprise of the boy himself. Sasuke seemed unaffected. "Mostly reading though." She trailed off again, thinking about it more then Kakashi anticipated any of them would. "Dislikes? I don't like it when there's a lot of people in one place, especially shinobi, but I'll get over that probably. Eventually. I can't eat Dango. Don't like sleeping. Or graveyards. Including the Uchiha Compound." The girl didn't seem to notice her teammates flinch beside her as she continued. "And I hate being interrupted or sabotaged for 'my own good'. I already said my hobbies, right? Reading, Being alone, Training. Still mostly reading though. I used to garden." She hummed, and then her eyes steeled and determination burned in her gaze. "And my dream? I'm going to help my friends. Find a few people, maybe punch them a lot. We'll see how it goes." she shrugged, and he could feel she was omitting things from her very vague goal, but there was a bit to unpack there as it was. "Oh, and I'm gonna see your face. It's very important." A headache indeed.
"Alrighty. Uchiha?" He moved on, shoving his questions for the girl down his throat. He was a sensei now, not an ANBU captain. This wasn't really an interrogation, just a team-building exercise.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are many things I hate, and there aren't a lot of things that I like." Naruto grimaced away from the boy as he let loose a touch of killing intent. Sakura frowned. "I have an ambition that I have no intention to leave as just a dream. The revival of my clan, and to kill...a certain someone." He said, short and sweet but still just as loaded as the girls. Kakashi could never get the easy road, could he?
"And your hobbies?" The pinkette spoke up before they moved on, seeming annoyed.
"Training. Getting stronger." He answered with a shrug. "There isn't anything I especially enjoy doing." The Uchiha glared at her, urging her to drop the subject, but she didn't seem to even notice, glaring at a patch of air behind the space between them instead of the boy himself.
"We'll fix that." She claimed primly, and Kakashi spoke up before it the Uchiha had time to rebuttal. Honestly, he was with the pinkette on this one.
"And lastly?" He prompted the blonde, and the boy wasted no time starting. Kakashi couldn't tell if he was also avoiding a conflict between his potential teammates or if he was just that excited for his turn.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto! I like instant raman, and I really like Ichiraku Raman, Dattebayo, And I hate the three minutes you have to wait after you put the raman in the raman cup, and my hobby is eating different kinds of Ramen and comparing them. And my future dream is to be the greatest Hokage, Dattebayo! Then the whole village will start respecting me and treating me like I'm somebody. Somebody important, Dattebayo!" He rambled. That was...interesting. He tried not to think about it too much.
The three of them were all different from each other, and he tried not to draw comparisons as he explained the test the next day. He Shun-shined away, the sound of complaints and giggles following him. Tomorrow morning would be interesting, if nothing else.
