“A day may come where everything you care about, in Konoha, may be threatened in such a way that it could all disappear. It will be during those times that teamwork will be the only thing that can save us. When the enemy becomes too strong to face one on one it is only team work that can lead to victory.’.

Casting a fiery gaze towards Ieyasu, the Hokage took another file from his desk that Ieyasu could read to be titled; “Akatsuki”.

“Take the Masked Rogues as an example. In the end it was teamwork which allowed our youth to beat those ferocious enemies. Time after time a single man has not proven to be enough, even a man like myself.”

Caught in thoughts for a moment the Hokage could see the bright flames of the Phoenix which had, 18 years ago, claimed the life of as many enemies as it did allies.

“When a single man becomes too strong, his power will become chaotic and dangerous to all around him. When a group of men becomes too strong, they can keep each other in check and work toward a common goal. Simply put, Ieyasu. There will come a day where your Genin may surpass you, but that’s beside the point, what is relevant is that you’ll always be able to work together for the benefit of Konoha. Leading a team is your job, for them to follow you is theirs. In the end, you are responsible for each other’s lives which are in turn responsible for the Hidden Leaf."

Setting the Akatsuki files away again, as if only having drawn them forth as a warning, Ikeru turned to a list of team rosters.

"I have a job for you. Think of a name that best represents your team. Try and find some common ground. Then use that to march, unbreakable, towards whichever foe may come your way."
