The following day Megumi woke up to the sound of the window screeching as it was sliding open. Her
eyes immediately turned to the right, and she sighed at the figure entering her bedroom through the window and stepping onto the room's floor once inside.

The person who entered the bedroom was a fourteen-year-old male. He was a tall and slim-built male with fair skin. His white hair with down to his shoulder blades, and a bang was swept to the side with two strands framing his face and shoulders. He had a shine to his purple eyes. He wore a white and red shirt with a golden star on the upper left and the sleeves with down to his hands. He had on black, and white pants with the bottom tucked into grey sandals.

"Hey Meg-hime," He greeted with a flashing smile.

"Ugh, Youta, don't go coming through my window this early," Megumi groaned, looking at her clock.

"Ah, don't pretend you're happy to see me this morning," Youta said, chuckling.

"I'm getting dressed and showering. Don't you dare walk into the bathroom!" She snapped, getting out of bed.

"Hey, I know how to respect a female," Youta said, putting a hand against his chest.

Megumi simply rolled her eyes as she walked into the bathroom and took a fresh pair of clothes with her ignoring Youta's offended expression.

Youta grinned at the purple snake pajamas Megumi was wearing as she walked into the bathroom and decided to leave the room and wait for her to be done showering.

Youta exited Megumi's bedroom and headed on downstairs, where he heard a noise coming from the kitchen.

He followed the sound of the noise and saw Orochimaru in the kitchen at the stove cooking breakfast.

"Morning, Orochimaru-san," Youta greeted, walking into the kitchen.

"Ah, Youta-kun sneaking in again from the window," Orochimaru glancing over at Youta briefly."I am sure my young Serpent wasn't happy about that. As her old teammate, you should know she hates perverts, "He said mockingly.

"Hey, I wasn't here to sneak peeks," Youta defended."I have respect, unlike Daisuke!"

"Oh, we both know that he never has an interest in that kind of thing," A familiar voice said, gaining their attention."And still doubt he ever will," Megumi said as she entered the kitchen and changed into her jounin outfit minus her haori.

"I wouldn't be so sure. He might have started gaining interest in relationships by now," Orochimaru said, placing a plate of warm egg sandwiches and bacon on the table.

"Yeah, I guess that could be possible," Megumi said, sitting down at the table and grabbing the plate."Thanks for breakfast, father," She said with a smile.

"Of course, after all, you did buy me lunch yesterday," Orochimaru said, sitting down with his own plate.

"So Meg-hime, how it feels to be a Jounin sensei?" Youra asked.

"I haven't gotten to see their skills in action yet," Megumi said, swallowing the food in her mouth."Through I can tell it will be hard training them. Especially Shin, who I can tell doesn't believe im a Jounin."

"You get through to them and train them into fantastic shinboi," Youta said."After all, out of the team, you were the first to become Chunin, Jounin, Anbu, and now a Jounin sensei. I wasn't made Chunin until nine and recently made a Jounin last year but need more experience before getting a team," He stated.

"Youta-kun is right. You made the rankings you did at a very young age because of your skills," Orochimaru said."While Youta-kun made Genin the same age as you, he still lacked the skills to become Chunin when you did. At the same time, Daisuke-kun might of surpass his cousin Itachi in becoming Genin two years younger than him and Chunin as well two years before him as well. He didn't become a Jounin until a year after the Uchiha massacre after surviving with very few injuries, and Anbu last year at 13, a year younger than Itachi, " He explained.

"Yeah, compared to us, you're a genius, Daisuke, an Uchiha genius beating his cousin in making Genin and Chunin but lacking to make Anbu by one year," Youta stated.

"Yeah, guess so," Megumi said, eating the last of her bacon."I better start heading out. My students will be meeting me in an hour. You better leave the lab for lunch today," She said, looking over at her father.

"I will make sure to leave for lunch," Orochimaru said.

"He is not going to not without that Kabuto fellow who is traveling who away with Fuyuko-san to see Tsunade-san," Youta stated, looking at Orochimaru, who was eating his egg sandwiches.

"True knew Kabuto should of stand here," Megumi said, grabbing her haori off the chair behind her and leaving the kitchen to put on her sandals sitting by the front door.

Training ground 3

Team 11 sat in Training Ground 3 beside a stone river and trees. Natsumi was drawing a picture of the view in her sketch pad. Shin, of course, was just sitting against a tree with a blank expression. Menma was chilling and relaxing while looking at his reflection in the river.

Megumi arrived in a swirl of snakes as she flashed her signature smile.

"Good morning," Megumi said as she pulled out a small clock and placed it on top of a tree stump."Your objective is to get this scroll from me as if you were stopping an enemy who stole a forbidden scroll. If you fail to retrieve it, then you won't become a Genin."

"There is only one scroll. Why?" Menma asked curiously.

"Now, if I go and explain that, then there wouldn't be any fun," Megumi answered."Anyway, you have until noon to get the scroll. Come at me intending to kill, or else you fail!" She commanded.

Menma charged at Megumi, aiming a punch at her stomach, but she quickly caught his fist and stared into his eyes."I didn't say you go yet, but you did come at me with the intent to kill. So not bad for now."

"We're shinobi, not little kids. So don't baby us, especially when you are only two years older, besides nobody says o in a real battle," Menma stated.

"Your right about the battle thing, but wrong. I might be two years older, but I'm definitely stronger than you think," She stated, letting his fist go."You won't pass my test easily," She said, narrowing her red snake eyes.

The three Gennin gulped, feeling the intensity of her stare and the level of her charka, seeing she was of higher rank than them. Even Shin was slightly nervous about the power he felt from her.

"Now Go!" Megumi shouted as her Genin disappeared, making Megumi nod in approval at their hiding skills so far, but she could easily sense their locations.

Hey readers!
