[X] Hyuuga.
Saya decided to follow her teacher's advice and when the Hyuuga walked forward, she did too. Pulling out her short sword, she called out Budew.
"A summon?" The boy muttered, before sliding into a stance. She slid into a stance as well.
"Iwa Saya," She said, swallowing. She sure hoped sensei was right about this.
"What?" He asked, frowning.
"That's my name," Saya explained. He rolled his eyes, but spoke up despite himself.
"Neji," as if that settled it. She supposed it did. "You are fated to lose against me, nonetheless. I can tell your mediocrity from the way you walk."
Hey! Only Han sensei got to say that!
"When this rock hits the floor, the match starts," Han called out, lazily throwing a rock up and down in his palm. He dropped it and-
The Hyuuga was fast, much to her awe. She was fortunate that Han was faster in their spars and she squeaked out a, "Stun spore!"
Budew released a cloud of yellow spores that she already knew not to breath in as she dodged to the side. Neji was not so lucky, and his muscles locked up as he breathed it in. Saya was already maneuvering herself around him as he jerkily pulled himself to the side.
"The stun spore is potent, but not deadly Maito Gai. Though I wouldn't recommend letting your student get another dose of that unless you're hiding a medic nin somewhere," Han called out. Saya just had to play the waiting game now as his muscles would tear themselves in vicious cramps. She also got the hidden message in his words. Don't use it again unless she wanted to cause a diplomatic incident. Stun spore was ridiculously potent to the point he didn't let her use it against her teammates for real, citing the reasons he didn't want to drag them to the hospital after every training session.
"Yosh! Fan the flames of your youth Neji!!" Gai cheered even as he acknowledge Han with a nod. Neji seemed to burst at her suddenly, as he must have known poisons tended to get worse the longer they went on. His movements weren't as elegant as before and she got the feeling he was missing a lot, but she felt her chakra start to shut down the more he hit her. He must have been in agony, she noted as she brought up her sword. She was in a lot of pain and pretty sure she couldn't use chakra, but he fell down to one knee as she brought her sword to his neck.
"I-I cannot go on," He muttered, in disbelief. Budew suddenly started glowing at his words. To her amazement, it evolved just like the ancient Pokedex said it would!
"Your student's summon is most youthful! To grow into a beautiful flower after a friendly match!!" Maito Gai shouted. Saya was grinning ear to ear as she hugged Roselia.
" ... huh," Han said. "Sousen, get the tea for the Hyuuga."
Sousen handed Saya's homemade tea packets to the still shocked boy.
"For your muscles," Sousen explained. Saya had made them with Budew, well, Roselia's buds and it counteracted the stun spore effect quite well. The Hyuuga reluctantly accepted it.
"Tenten, show them the power of your youth!!!" The girl looked embarrassed as she went to stand across from Ganjobu. He had been working with sensei with earth ninjutsu if she recalled correctly.
Ganjobu slammed a smoke bomb against the ground once it started, causing the field to disappear in smoke. Sousen seemed to be following the fight quite well though and winced as Ganjobu got torn out of the smoke by a giant hammer and over the line.
"Match over!" Han called out. "Looks like we're one to one, Maito Gai."
"The springtime of their youth is not over! Lee, show them the fruits of your training!!" Lee stepped into the ring across a very reluctant Sousen. Saya remembered Han going over basic medic ninjutsu and genjutsu with him. He had always been in the upper percentile of chakra control in the class.
"Do we really have to do this sensei?" Sousen asked, stuffing his hands in his jackets.
"Yes." Han said and dropped the rock.
Sousen sighed, and shimmered out of existence. Lee started looking around before putting his hands together in the classic genjutsu dispellment pose. Sousen broke into view suddenly with two bunshins, one on each side, and Lee started to do complex fight combinations that Sousen started ... dodging?
Saya blinked. Sousen had never been that fast.
Wait. Oh.
The fight ended with Lee side kicking himself out of the ring. He blinked as he realized he just dented a tree and drooped as he realized he was tricked.
"DO NOT LET THE FLAMES OF YOUR YOUTH BANK BECAUSE OF GENJUTSU LEE, FOR WHEN WE GET BACK TO KONOHA WE SHALL DO A THOUSAND GENJUTSU EXERCISES!!"
Han quietly collected the unconscious man and left the leaf eccentrics to do their ... thing.

When they got back to Iwa, the genins found no rest.
"What do you mean, we're being sent on another mission? We just got back from one." Han said, growling. The chunin bristled with fear and anger.
"The village cannot wait for you to baby sit a genin team and wait for them to make chunin. Take the mission or take it up with the Tsuchikage," he snapped back before retreating. Han glared at his back before ripping open the debrief.
"Oh fucking hell," he muttered.
