Chapter 18 - Formation of Team 3

Two days later

8 a.m

Kojiro was in training ground 3; currently, he was training the new chakra control exercise that Onoki had given him, the Kunai hovering exercise.

Kojiro was hovering a kunai above his palm using only his chakra.

"CLANK."

After some time, the Kunai fell to the ground. He then turned his head towards the watch next to him and smiled.

"5 minutes—that's good I succeeded in reaching my objective Next, I will try to last for ten full minutes. Onoki sensei told me that the better chakra control I have, the easier it is for me to master the basic chakra nature transformations."

"TAP, TAP, TAP."

Suddenly, Kojiro heard the sound of footsteps When he turned his head, he saw a brown-haired boy that looked like a 13-year-old boy walking towards the training ground.

The boy has brown eyes, fair skin, sharp eyebrows, an ordinary face, and a lean, muscular physique.

When the boy saw Kojiro, he gave him a friendly smile and said, "Hi, my name is Taro Aoi. I am your new team member; you can call me Aoi. It is a pleasure to meet you."

After hearing what Aoi said, Kojiro gave Aoi a friendly smile as well and said to him, "Hello, my name is Kojiro Sawada. It is nice to meet you, Aoi. You can call me Kojiro."

Kojiro remembered yesterday Onoki told him that he needed to do missions to gain field experience, and joining a Genin team is the best starting point for him to gain field experience.

He also told Kojiro that Yaruichi personally asked for Kojiro to join her Genin team, and because joining a Genin team will help Kojiro gain field experience, Onoki agreed to her request.

Then Kojiro and Aoi started chatting with each other. After a few minutes, Yoruichi and Soi Fon arrived at the training ground.

Yaruichi smiled when she saw Kojiro and Aoi, and she started greeting them. "Good morning, kids. It is good to see you all in time. From today onward, we are team 3."

Kojiro, Aoi, and Soi Fon nodded their heads to Yoruichi.

Yoruichi continued, "Usually the Jounin supervisor will test their new genins first before accepting them to the team, but I am familiar with each of your skill sets, so I don't need to test you."

The trio nodded their heads after hearing this, and Yaruichi continued, "Today we will only introduce ourselves to each other and get to know each other. From tomorrow onwards, we will start training. You will not take any missions unless you prove to me that you are ready to take missions."

Kojiro, Soi Fon, and Aoi nodded, and Yaruichi said to them, "we will start now with introduction I will go first; my name is Yaruichi Chiba I am an elite Jounin of Iwa. I enjoy messing with cousin Kuske and honing my skills; my goal is to help my clan to become one of the noble clans of Iwa."

She then pointed her finger at Kojiro and said, "Your turn, kid."

Kojiro nodded, and he started introducing himself: "My name is Kojiro Sawada; you can call me Kojiro. I enjoy training and improving my skills. My goal is to be the greatest Kenjutsu user of all time."

Soi Fon scoffed when she heard this. Kojiro raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Soi Fon's reaction, but Yoruichi smiled at Soi Fon's reaction and thought to herself, "Soi Fon is as predictable as ever. She is still feeling sour after she got defeated by Kojiro in the trial when Kojiro fought against the young generation of our Chiba clan."

Yoruichi then pointed her finger at Soi Fon and said, "Soi Fon, it is your turn."

Soi Fon nodded her head obediently, and then she started introducing herself, "My name is Soi Fon Chiba I am from the Chiba clan; you can call me Soi Fon. I enjoy dumplings and training with Lady Yaruichi; my goal is to surpass Lady Yaruichi one day."

Yaruichi smiled and nodded. She then looked at Aoi and said to him, "Your turn, kid."

Aoi nodded, and he started introducing himself, "My name is Taro Aoi; you can call me Aoi. I enjoy reading and learning new things; my goal is to be a respectable Iwa elite Jounin one day."

Yaruichi nodded with satisfaction; she then clapped her hands and said, "Good, you all have your goals and ambitions; because of these goals and ambitions, you all will grow stronger, but you should remember one thing: to never give up no matter what hardship you are going to face in the future. If you never give up and keep working hard, I am sure that one day you will achieve your goal and fulfill your ambition."

The trio smiled upon hearing these words of wisdom from Yaruichi and nodded their heads at her. Yaruichi then said to the trio while smiling, "Alright kids, since today is the day we became team 3, we should celebrate. Let's go to a dango shop to celebrate; today is my treat."

The trio smiled after hearing this; they then followed Yaruichi and walked towards the dango shop.
