Translation
The lost years
Chapter 1
Hello to you out there!
I went to the thankless job of making a story about the almost legendary team seven.
No, I don't mean Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, but the old team around Kakashi, Obito and Rin.
I've put a lot of effort and hope that you enjoy the first chapter.

Chapter 1: First encounter
He peeked cautiously around the corner. Don't make mistakes now!
It all depended on him getting out of here unnoticed.
Blue eyes searched every square inch for any sign of danger, but there was nothing to be seen.
The stairs to the Hoka building were completely deserted at his feet. Now was the right moment. Sure of victory, a broad grin stole onto the blond's face. Today he would escape her, there was no doubt about that.
He quickly glanced over his shoulder before hurrying down the stairs.Taking two at a time, he made it to the heel. The sweet air of freedom wafted beguilingly towards him and the warm sunshine on his skin promised him a glorious victory. He was about to throw his arms in the air, sure of victory, when a faint noise shook him to the core.
"Arashi."
The sheer horror was written on his face. Swallowing hard and with the first drops of fear sweat on his face, the person addressed turned inch by inch to the person standing behind him. Two green-blue eyes gave him a withering look. Everything in Arashi's head was screaming: "ESCAPE!" Oh my god, I hope I didn't get wet.
But at least he was a shinobi and they weren't so easy to get down. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and grinned broadly at the young woman in front of him.
"Hello Yuuumi!" he exclaimed with mock enthusiasm.
His counterpart, without breaking eye contact, smoothly pushed one of her shoulder-length, blonde strands of hair behind her ear.Finally, when Arashi already believed that she wanted to kill him with her gaze (and he had to admit, after just one more minute, he would have voluntarily jumped off a cliff just to escape her gaze) she closed her eyes with a sigh.
"Arashi, the same every day. I was hoping that at least today you wouldn't try to escape."
The young man in front of her also sighed as he put his hands on her shoulders. Surprised, she looked into his mischievous eyes again.
"As if we didn't both know it was going to happen."
"Baka!"
The grin crept back on his face when he saw the woman's slight smile. Unfortunately Arashi had forgotten why he wanted to run away, so her next statement came as a bit of a surprise.
"Come on, the three are waiting for you!"
Yumi had grabbed the blond by the collar of his coat with a firm grip.
"Who ... what ... man Yumi I can go alone!""Yes, maybe, but your feet will never carry you to the right place. The three have been waiting for half an hour now. I don't take the risk that you will escape me again."
Arashi scratched his chin thoughtfully while still being relentlessly dragged through the busy streets of Konoha by Yumi. A gleeful smile stole on one or the other face of a passerby at the strange sight. After a few moments of thought, the young man fell like scales from his eyes. Now he had remembered why he had been hiding in dark alleys since last night, jumping out of windows or looking for cover behind tables.
He had been given the leading task of taking over Team 7 and Yumi had declared herself the executor of the sentence. In fact, it wasn't a bad thing, it was actually an honor to be assigned a team. But here the facts were quite different. Because this wasn't a normal team.
ObitoRin
Kakashi
These were the names that spit around in the nightmares of many ninja instructors.
An Uchiha drilled for success
a kunoichi who could make any medic-nin look old
and a cold-blooded, masked warrior.
A promising group, especially at times like these when war was on every corner. There was only one slight hitch in the matter. So far, in the terrifyingly short time of six months, the team had had five teachers, and each of them had howled and cursed, and swore that the three devils were from hell. Well, Arashi wasn't afraid of such "rumors". But that two of the teachers had to give up their ninja existence for health reasons, was something ... questionable? Was that the right word? No, scary was better.
Arashi got all this information from Yumi, who worked as a teacher at the academy and had taught these three youngsters."I don't even know what you all have. Kakashi, Obito and Rin-chan are loving and attentive students. The children really have what it takes to be ninjas."
Convinced of her point of view, Yumi clenched her free hand into a fist. Sighing heavily, Arashi looked down at the blonde. He gripped the hand with which she had gripped his collar with a firm grip. Yumi looked at him in amazement. Did he want to flee again? He could confidently copy that!
"Yumi ..."
Now Arashi had taken her hand in his and looked gently into her eyes. A slight shimmer of red settled on the young woman's cheeks when he took a step towards her. But what everyone who saw this scene might be waiting for did not materialize.
"... have mercy.", Arashi whispered hopefully. Annoyed and a bit disappointed, Yumi grabbed his right hand and pulled him further behind her.
"Don't act like that. As your former teacher, I can assure you here and now that something like Matsumto-sensei will never happen again.But honestly, who could have known that the cannon was loaded? It really wasn't the three of them to blame. "
But Arashi wasn't listening to her completely anymore. He was just wondering if it was really humiliating to howl in any situation. This just had to be an exception.
Relentlessly, the two approached the small training ground, which was just outside Konoha. A mild wind was blowing and the sun was shining seductively from the sky. It wasn't a day to deal with a bunch of annoying genins, Arashi thought, but the perfect day to have a little training match with Jiraiya-sensei.
If that always ended in the women's bath, it wasn't his fault. After all, his sensei needed templates for his latest book, so sacrifices had to be made.
Now the objects of his silent fear came into view. They sat down next to three beams that had been rammed into the ground in the middle of the square.Amazed, Arashi noticed how Yumi let go of his hand. Did she give him the chance to escape? But the thought would instantly be smashed into a thousand pieces by her next words.
"Don't even think about running away. I can find you everywhere!"
A cold shiver ran down the blond's back. What kind of stray cat was he? He was a ninja, so a couple of "kids" wouldn't get him down. Exactly, why hadn't you asked him directly? Teaching the greenhorns manners couldn't be that difficult. After all, Yumi had made it too.
And now, up close, the three didn't look that threatening. The Uchiha, unmistakably recognizable by the black hair and eyes, dripped some liquid onto his eyes, while he leaned calmly against the middle trunk. The girl, a little brunette named Rin, was rummaging around in a first aid kit. The last member of team seven had already noticed the two older ones.At the cold look Arashi got from the masked, gray-haired boy, the hair on the back of the adult's neck stood up. My God, he looks at me like I've eaten his dog.
"Hello you three, here I am again and I also have your new Sensei with me. Unfortunately, he couldn't be earlier because he has just returned from a mission."
'Liar! 'Arashi shot through the head.
The three Genins lined up in front of Yumi. With suspicious eyes, the young people looked at their new teacher. Arashi looked at her no less suspiciously. Annoyed, the blonde rolled her eyes.
"This is Arashi Uzumaki, better known as 'Konoha's Yellow Lightning'!"
Yumi gestured at it like it was a new car that was just being unveiled. Arashi 324, now also with roof rack. He had to smile at his own joke, which he had to tell Yumi afterwards. Of course not now, after all she had exposed him to this agony.Obito and Rin glanced at each other skeptical, while Kakashi did not show the slightest hint of emotion. His eyes had now taken on a bored look that made him seem as if he was going to sleep any moment. Since Yumi was starting to feel stupid in the "presentation pose", she gave Arashi a short push. From her gaze he could clearly see what she was trying to tell him.
'COME ON! Say what else ... '
Arashi really didn't want to imagine more. He cleared his throat briefly.
"Well, first of all, I congratulate you on passing the exam."
Yumi smiled in relief. That was a good start, you just had to "push" it in the right direction.
"It seems I will be your new sensei. First of all, I would like to clarify a few things. I will not let you aim at me with any kind of weapon, be it firearm, throwing, staff or firearm, unless we are located us in training. Should I feel the need to rest, I ask you to wake me up when a wild bear sneaks up on me. "With a shiver, Arashi remembered what was left of Takumi-sensei. Not a pretty sight, the bear must have disgusted itself afterwards.
"I know that you were among the front runners at school and that a lot is put into you."
On the up to now annoyed or suspicious face of the blonde now the pure seriousness emerged. Yumi looked at him impressed. It was always surprising how he switched from an annoying boy to a man who could not be matched by determination and persuasiveness.
The three youngsters now also seemed to be glued to the older man's lips.
"As of today you are no longer students, but my subordinates."
There was silence. The wind was blowing over the little lake. The heavy silence was broken by Arashi, who clapped his hands again with a big grin on his face.
"We'll introduce ourselves first. As you probably know,
