Naruto: Senmei Asahi

After waiting at home for around three days, Asahi finally received a notification about his squad meeting.

"Meet at the Konoha Gate at seven in the morning tomorrow." 

Because Asahi didn't graduate in the regular way, there was no need to perform any so-called tests. Anyone could directly arrange him in any squad to help them supplement their manpower. 

This was an unbelievably good thing for Asahi. Teaming up with genins with more experience was much better than teaming up with any little kid who had just barely graduated. 

…

Next day. 

At 6:50 a.m. in the morning, Asahi with all his ninja equipment ready, had already arrived at the Konoha Gate. 

He had now become very sensitive to how to handle his time. When he went to the academy, he always waited the bell to ring before he entered the classroom. Training was just too hard and time-consuming, Asahi didn't want to waste even a little time resting unnecessarily.

The reason why he had arrived ten minutes early today was to at least leave a good impression on his teammates. 

However, when Asahi rushed to the Konoha Gate, he found that his teammates had already arrived, and now they were looking at him with a disapproving look. 

Asahi's information of his teammates was gathered by him yesterday. The team leader Ueno was an old Jonin with rich experience. It is said that even among the contemporary Jonin, his strength was considered pretty good. 

The other two teammates were also very interesting. One of them was named Shinohara. Although he was a commoner ninja like Asahi, information says that this person had some medical ninjutsu on him. When he's not on a mission, he would stay and help in the Konoha Hospital. 

As for the other person, Asahi was even more interested in him. This person was about 10 years old. He's a handsome boy with a childish face and a stubborn look. But this was not the most important thing, the most important thing was the boy's eyes. 

His big eyes were a pair of white pumps, which made the boy's eyes look hazy. 

He was from the Hyuga Clan. 

According to his information, this guy was named Keita, and was extremely proficient in taijutsu, but it did mention at all whether the person was from the Hyuga Branch House or the Main House.

However, according to his own thoughts, Asahi thinks that the people of the Hyuga Clan would not easily let any of the people of the main house go out for missions. This Keita must be the branch house. 

"Hello everyone!" Asahi walked over and said his greetings first. 

"It's getting late, let's talk as we move!" Ueno glanced at Asahi casually, then threw his permit to the guards to be let out the Konoha Gate, and ran out first.

The other two guys followed Ueno silently from behind, and Asahi was on the back following after them. 

These teammates although they looked and behaved normal, they didn't seem to welcome him.

'It seems that these days will be difficult.'

But Asahi had already anticipated this. Just like he doesn't want to team up with some little kid who just graduated, the people in this team also must not want to have to deal with such a little kid who just graduated.

After leaving the village, it was a continuous rush during the morning. Perhaps Ueno had thought already had the path on his mind and just went on about it. In the morning, four people were rushing in the road without stopping at any point to rest.

Fortunately, Asahi had always been afraid of lacking some basics and had done a fairly good amount of basic training to strengthen his basics, otherwise just travelling this road to the mission would have been difficult. 

At noon, Ueno waved everyone to stop, and with his back turned to everyone said, "Just take a short break and we will continue to hurry in a moment."

During the break, the atmosphere of the team was still very quiet. It seemed that none of the people present there was a talkative person. This was in line with Asahi's temper, because he was not a talkative person himself.

But after eating, the guy Shinohara couldn't help it, and started to try to talk to Asahi, "Hey! What's your name?" 

"It turns out that some of them don't even know my information yet. It seems that I only managed to get their information, because Yamamoto-sensei was trying to help me." Asahi could not help but murmur.

"Senmei Asahi, I am looking forward to your guidance," Asahi said.

"It turns out that you are Senmei Asahi. When I was in the academy, I heard of your name several times. If I am not wrong, you were that guy who defeated Hatake Kakashi."

Keita also looked at Asahi with curiosity this time, and seemed to have started to get interested in him.

"You know Kakashi too?" Asahi asked. 

"Of course I know, that guy was in our team before this!" Speaking of Kakashi, Shinohara seemed quite annoyed. 

Keita also said resentfully, "Although his strength was good, he's just way too cold. In order to complete our missions, he would simply ignore the life and death of any of us..." 

Having said that, Keita gave Asahi a glance, and said strangely, "But since you can beat him, your strength should be good too." 

It turned out that Kakashi was just expelled out of the team by these guys, just in time for Asahi to join after applying for graduation, and the village immediately filled him into this team. 

After a short conversation, Asahi found that both Shinohara and Keita were very talkative. The reason why they didn't speak before was because in their last mission, they were almost killed because one of Kakashi's decision. Although the mission was completed to perfection, they didn't like Kakashi's approach. When they returned to the village, they both joined to kick him out of the team. 

Because of this, they also didn't like Asahi at first, the newly graduate that they got assigned to their team. 

Seeing that the three kids had slightly become more familiar with one another, Ueno lightly coughed, and started to talk, "Our mission is to enter the territory of Land of Rain in order to explore some information, Land of Rain is situated in the middle of the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Fire. Once the ninja world starts a war, the Land of Rain will inevitably become the main battlefield. Our mission is to enter the territory of the Land of Rain to explore some information in regards to Iwagakure and Sunagakure."

"Understood!" All three of them replied at the same time. 

"Let's go!" Ueno waved his hand, and the group of four people began to hurry again. 

In Asahi's memory, during the Second Great Ninja War and the Third Great Ninja War, the Land of Rain became the battlefield for the big nations to use. It could be said that for the people of the Land of Rain, war was a nightmare. But it's a nightmare that could never be avoided.

However, the Land of Rain was not a popular place. Although the Amegakure was slightly weaker than them, the Amegakure had a super strong shinobi at its front, Hanzo of the Salamander bearing the title of 'Demi-God'.

Therefore, as long as it was not a Great Ninja War, the life on Land of Rain was normally quite peaceful. 

But once a war breaks out, even Hanzo of the Salamander couldn't protect the Land of Rain from being invaded. 

'It looks like Akatsuki is still only a three person group right now but they have grown up. I don't know if I can see those three people in this journey to Land of Rain.' Asahi secretly said in his heart.
