Rooftop of the Academy
4 people gathered on top of the Academy building. Osamu who looked almost the same age as them was in front while the other 3 sat down together.
"Alright, let's get this over with. Let's start with introductions. State your name and then your goals or dreams. I really don't care about your likes or dislikes." Osamu spoke then pointed at Hinata.
Who then blinked and pointed herself too in confusion.
"As they say, ladies first."
"Oh okay. My name is Hinata Hyuga. My dream is to become strong so I can be worthy." Osamu nodded in approval.
"Good, next!" He pointed at Naruto.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki! And I will become the greatest Hokage there is! Believe it!" Hearing him say that felt too cliché for Osamu as he just pointed at Sasuke next.
He actually doesn't need them to say it since he already knew what they're gonna say. It was just for formality's sake.
Also, he even removed the likes and dislikes which would've been a bit annoying for him if Sakura was here.
Luckily his encounter with Hinata affected it since Hiashi Hyuga requested it from Hiruzen to put Hinata under Osamu.
"Sasuke Uchiha and I only have 1 goal. That is to kill a certain man." Naruto and Hinata looked at Sasuke's serious face and could only think to themselves.
"Hmn, if there's anything I don't like in the team, its over confidence."
"Anyway, no one probably told you about this but the real Genin test hasn't began yet."
"Huh? But we already graduated, this forehead protector is the symbol that we did and we are already genins." Naruto explained.
"Yeah I know, I actually said the same thing to my sensei when I also graduated 2 years ago. In end, my teammates and I still had to take the test to be acknowledged."
"What sort of test was it?"this time Sasuke asked.
"It was all 3 of us against our sensei which is also what will happen in this team. We will start the test tomorrow, prepare well. The location is training ground 3 and the time is 6:00 am."
The 3 newly graduates were left on the rooftop as Osamu vanished again.

Hokage Office
"So? What's the reason you weren't here when I was assigning the teams and you were even late to arrive to get your Genins."
"I was busy GG. I was on the verge of discovering a long lost jutsu of Konoha, but then I remembered your assignment so here I am."
"Sigh, Are you even still studying the Flying thunder god technique you copied?"
"Yeah, so far I don't have any success yet. Although I can now more or less sense if there are any fluctuation in the space-time continuum around me."
"And exactly how were you able to determine this?"
"Oh it was at the time when I used the summoning Jutsu."
"Didn't you fail to make a contract when we did the ritual?"
"Yeah, but I didn't give up and ended up going to Shikkotsu forest where I met Lady Katsuyu who taught me everything else about Senjutsu and accepted me as contractor." Osamu said in one breath yet his words sent shock to Hiruzen and Shikaku both.
Shikaku is officially the right-hand man of the Hokage since his position as Anbu Commander was taken back by Kakashi, that's why he is often in the Office of Hokage helping Hiruzen with paperworks.
"Hold on, did you just say you can summon katsuyu?" Huruzen asked as he felt a headache coming.
"Yeah!"
"Since when?"
"Uh, about a year ago give or take? why?"
"And you didn't bother telling me?"
"Must have slipped my mind." Hiruzen sighed once more and prepared to ask if he heard it correctly.
"And what's this about Katsuyu telling you about Senjutsu? Please tell me you're not training it." By now Hiruzen was already feeling it in his head as he massaged the side.
"Oh, don't worry, I already completed that too last year so I am no longer training it that much, i just wait for my reserves to be bigger and so will my sage mode state become longer when I enter it." Osamu replied with thumbs up and a smile.
Hiruzen felt his head explode. Kakashi didn't exactly tell him about Osamu's abilities but he did mention Osamu's hands become dark when he took Danzo's heart.
Although Kakashi's seen the Sage mode of Osamu, he doesn't know that it was. Also, normally, skills are not allowed to be shared even in allies unless the holder himself gives permission. Especially in Osamu's case where he was under a lot of stress and depression.
Hiruzen was happy for the kid alright, but it would've been good to be informed firsthand.
If he truly know or even mastered Sage mode already, he might be on the same level as Jiraiya when it comes to pure strength not including intelligence, maturity and experience as a Shinobi.
"Do tell Osamu-kun, have you mastered Sage mode already?"
"Yep!" Osamu replied nonchalantly.
"Alright, since that's the case, I will have to test you. Come to think of it, you received the rank Jonin from me due to contribution but never took any test for it right?."
"But I have test with my Genins tomorrow."
His excuse however was not accepted.
"They're just a bunch of kids, morning will cover that, in the afternoon you are moving to the forest of death where I will have you fight a Jonin. You better not be late this time GGD."
"What does that mean?" Osamu asked but then realized something when he saw Hiruzen's smile and was about to answer.
"No, don't an-"
"It means Great Grand Disciple, what else could it mean?"
'it sounds like old dick!! You damn old man!' Osamu started walking out.
"I'm outta here."

Next day
Training Ground 3
Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata arrived ahead of time and it took a few minutes only for Osamu to also show up.
It was 5 minutes left before the setup time.
"Good! Your all here already."
Osamu was wearing a casual T-shirt in black and a grey short above his knee and the standard black Shinobi sandals.
His brown hair which was never cut since is tied up to a pony tail not leaving any bangs.
He didn't bring any Shinobi Weapons with him and looked like he was not going into a fight at all.
"Since your all here let me tell you the rules. It is a 3-on-1 match. There will be 3 stages. Stage 1: I will use Taijutsu.
Stage 2: I will use Genjutsu.
Stage 3: I will use Ninjutsu."
"You're goal is to successfully hit me. But if one of you fails to do so, all 3 of you are going back to the academy. Am I making myself clear?"
"Yes sensei!!" The kids replied.
Soon they were in the clearing.
On 1 side stood Osamu, hands inside his shorts pocket while he stood there full of openings.
On the other side are the New team 7 with Naruto in the middle.
However not even a second passed and a shout was heard as Naruto charged ahead.
"Your going down!" Naruto threw a punch which Osamu dodge quite easily by simply getting down.
Naruto followed up with a kick while turning around, this time Osamu still repeated the way to avoid that by getting down again.
Annoyed Naruto landed and dashed to punch at him but simply turned smoothly and now he was behind Naruto.
'Traditions should be passed down.' Osamu thought as his hand were joined together to form the tiger seal.
Sasuke and Hinata became vigilant as they saw him form the tiger seal thinking if he's already going to use a ninjutsu.
"Secret Finger Jutsu of Konoha!"
Osamu added a bit of lightning chakra to his fingers as he drove it to Naruto's butt.
"One thousand years of Death!"
Naruto sailed through the air as his butt sparked a bit and smoked when he landed.
Sasuke and Hinata's expressions were both like this: -_-'
"So, is the last Uchiha too weak to face me?"
That seemed to hit a nerve as Shurikens flew towards him. Osamu didn't bother dodging since none of the shurikens were flying towards him.
That however seemed to change as a batch of Kunai flew next and hit the shurikens changing their directions and were now enclosing towards Osamu's direction and escaping routes trapping him.
"Not bad." Osamu commented as he turned to a block of wood.
The trio was surprised a bit then heard him.
"If you're all not having any intentions to kill me, I highly doubt you to be able to even touch my hair." Osamu taunted.
It would seem to be effective as they all came out and nodded to each other as if understanding something.
"Come at me with all you got brats."
All 3 of them rushed at him.
