You know, the horrible thing is, I did have an idea for a Naruto fic where
the Naruto world equivalents of the Azu cast were ninjas from another
village that visited the Leaf villiage and encountered Naruto and company.
Only had the ideas for joke potential though. Some scenes would have been as
the reader...

Witness!... the spectacle as Naruto and Tomo get into an argument about
which one
of them is the loudest most boastful ninja on earth.

Quake in fear!... when forces collide as Osaka summons weird looking cats to
combat the
Sound Villiage's summoned giant snakes.

Coo in yuri like glee!... as Sakura and all the rest of the leaf village
girls
get crushes on Sakaki, and Kaorin challenges them all to duels...

And watch Kakashi squirm in embarassment when it's revealed
he dated Yukari when they were both jounin...


And now you went ahead and ruined it all Lurk. :(

But I'll C+C anyway ^_^

The milling students gradually lapsed into silence as the master spoke.

The

elderly man looked around, nodded, and consulted a clipboard. "Very
well...you have all passed the qualification tests and are now official
rookie ninja. You will be assigned to three-member squads for further
training. These--" he indicated a row of teachers with a wave of his

hand-- 

"are the jounin to whom you will be assigned. One jounin will manage each
squad of genin. As twenty-one students passed the qualification, there

will

be seven squads. The squad assignments are as follows..."

Good set up.

Five minutes later, the students had been dismissed, and the older ninja
were chatting amongst themselves. One in particular, a twentysomething
kunoichi with wavy brown hair, was complaining to a cheerful blue-haired
woman who appeared to be trying hard not to laugh.

"Mou, Nyamo, why'd YOU get both the star athletes...?"

o----->>>>>>>>>>

AZUNINJA DAIOH

But it could work, I'm telling you. They's solve problem in unorthadox ways
is all.

<<<<<<<<<<-----o

Two teenage girls and one younger girl milled about in an empty classroom.
"We're lucky," commented one of them. "We get the genius cadet Chiyo-chan

on

our squad."

Yeah, kind of figured it'd be Osaka, Chiyo, and Tomo

"Not only that, but we can outdo her in just about everything except
studying!"

The younger girl glared at the boastful teen, and quickly formed a series

of

seals. The older girl suddenly seized up, eyes wide, and began coughing.
Tears streamed down her face as she doubled over. Smirking, the smaller
student perched herself atop a desk, kicking her legs idly.

Heh

The door slammed open, and their instructor walked in. She was dressed in

a

blue suit which neatly complemented the dark blue headband which held back
her wavy brown hair. The metal plate centred squarely on her forehead bore
an engraved crest: a wide, creepy pair of catlike eyes, topped by squat,
tapered ears. Her high heels clicked as she stepped to the podium.

Nice descriptions of their gear, BTW. I take it envisioning them in those
outfits helped make you want to write this?

"Okay, I'm Tanizaki Yukari, jounin, and from today I will be your sensei.
You are squad three."

Squad Three (since it is their name. Ditto with all other squad names)

Takino Tomo leapt onto her desk, a smug expression on her face. Unlike the
others, she was dressed in what could only be described as stereotypical
ninja garb, but in tones of maroon and salmon pink, covering everything
except her head, where she wore the same headband as her teammate and
sensei. The metal plate on her headband was decked out in garish
refrigerator magnets. "It's metal, so I figured it'd be cool."

Heh. Cute

Yukari sighed. "Get rid of them. And Chiyo-chan, where's your--"

Chiyo blushed, and lifted the hem of her skirt. The forehead protector was
tied around her left thigh, and two kunai were tucked securely behind the
metal plate. "It kept falling off when I tried to wear it on my head," she
said sheepishly.

Yukari shrugged. "That's okay, nobody's going to try to kill anyone as

cute

as you anyway."

Cute-no-jitsu, it could would.

She clapped her hands together. "Okay! It's time to begin. I

expect great things from you, because you're my hope for beating my

greatest

rival!"

Agree with Zaitcev, his line sounds more Yukari like.

"Right, then. You'll be squad five starting today. I expect you to work
hard, and learn the value of teamwork. You're all very hard workers, which
is why I selected you for my squad.

Hmm. Yukari seemed to think Nyamo got lucky and assigned them. It does seem
odd that they cthe jounini could request the people they wanted to be in
their squads.

A girl with short, dark hair sat morosely in the corner, crying. Like a

few

others, she opted to wear the summer uniform: light blue top and dark blue
skirt, with a dark nylon body stocking and dark blue knee and elbow

braces.

She was presently using her forehead protector as a handkerchief.

"It's not that bad," her auburn-haired friend offered, patting her on the
arm. The girl was similarly attired, as was the third member of their

squad,

a short-haired, pretty girl of average height, who simply sat at a desk
awkwardly; she had come from another village and finished her preliminary
qualification with their group, but still considered herself an outsider,
thus having difficulty making friends.

Agree again with Zaitcev to use a guy in the mix, simply to have Kimura
constantly ignore him as though he doesn't exist. Sort of like when he order
drinks at the cute cafe arc

"It's...it's not that," the hunched-over figure said with a shudder,
sniffling.

Agree. It is much worse, since only one thing can set her off like this.

"Kimura," he said. "Fourth squad teacher." He then disappeared, and

suddenly

reappeared squatting on the desk of the crying girl. "I'm going to enjoy
teaching you, Kaorin-chan."

You could HEAR the heart at the end of his words.

Here I'll disagree a bit with Zaitcev, the heart bit would work, but I
wouldn't use that sort of thing too often. This is silly enough to get away
with it.

to be continued?

You'd have to fill it out a lot to do so, but it stands up on its own as
fusion to boggle the mind.

Nice work, had be snickering in a few places.
