You sigh quite audibly as you hang your head and place one of your palms on your face. Their stupidity and ignorance has always surpassed that of the normal person, but it was really astounding today. Quite frankly, you were sick and tired of it. Hopefully you could end this pointless animosity today.
"What does that have to do with anything?" you ask in a firm tone as you raise your head to glare at the bully.
"What do you mean 'what does that have to do with anything?'" he asked in a baffled tone. Before he could continue spewing nonsense, you cut him off.
"Were either of us alive when our grandfathers were? Don't bother thinking about it; the answer is no. Did I have anything to do with my grandfather and granduncle going rogue? No. Did my clan have anything to do with them going rogue? No. Did I have anything to do with your grandfather dying? No. I could go on, but you can see where I'm going with this. How about channeling that anger towards something productive to the village, buddy? Now I need to get somewhere... out of the way."
You briskly walk past the stunned bully, lightly pushing him out of your way. As you walk away, you hear them speaking quietly about you.
"Why didn't you do anything?"
"Dude... that look in his eyes. Doukaku wasn't messing around. He could have hurt us real bad..."
"Maybe what he said was right after all..."
You roll your eyes at that last comment and start to pick up speed. By your estimations, it was getting close to the deadline of meeting up with your team. You rode up the lifts to reach the main area of Kumogakure, and as soon as the lift stopped, you rushed out of it and quickly made your way to the area specified to you: a large natural balcony of sorts that overlooked the rest of the mountain range.
You soon arrived and had to stop and catch your breath.
"About time you showed up," a voice said. The voice of your new teacher. You take a deep breath and look up from your hunched over position to see...
A. A muscular dark-skinned man with pale blond hair and beard. He wears dark sunglasses and carries several swords on his person. With him is also... 1. A dark-skinned girl with long red hair and striking amber eyes. She has a sword on her back and wears her forehead protector like a bandana. 2. A dark-skinned boy with short spiky white hair. He looks lost in thought and is sucking on a lollipop.
B. A woman with blonde hair tied into a long and low ponytail with bandages. She has peculiar cat-shaped eyes. With her is also... 1. A smiling girl with chin-length blonde hair that is brighter colored the teacher's hair. 2. A thin girl with long platinum blonde hair. Something about this girl seems... odd, but you can't identify it.
C. A tall dark-skinned man with a lazy look in his eyes, a bulbous nose, and rather shaggy white hair with a blonde tint to it. With him is also a dark-skinned boy with an athletic build and very short dark hair.
D. A thin and slender man with shoulder-length hair that is a very dark violet color. He wears glasses, has peculiar slanted eyes, and a golden hue to his skin. With him is also... 1. A boy with short black hair that shares the same kind of eye shape and skin color as the teacher. 2. A plain and bored-looking boy with dark raven hair.

B. Not many CYOAs have Yugito Nii as a character.

You have to pick one of the numbers beneath her to decide your teammate.

If you couldn't tell, most of the potential teammates are the other potential player characters from the opening post. The missing third teammate will be explained and solve itself rather quickly. I've had the teams set up shortly after the beginning of this CYOA, which explains why Darui doesn't have a choice of a teammate; that was Doukaku's original team.
What teacher you choose will determine the third teammate and what kind of missions you'll get, but there's really no way to know those things unless you're me <_<. Just know that if Killer Bee wins this tie I'll probably have difficulty making him rhyme because I'm not gangsta like Mav.

You don't have to make him rhyme at all times; he could just do it around special guests.

Rolling a d2 (fancy terminology for a coin). Using a dice generator for this because flipping a coin has all sorts of dumb things such as flipping it over upon landing and such.
Killer Bee's number 1, Yugito is 2.
To make things ride less on a single decision, I'll roll a d2 ten times, and whoever gets the most wins.
1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1
Well then <_<
2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1
Killer Bee and Omoi it is. Time to write up the next section...

Standing before you is a man with a very muscular build. His dark skin common amongst many people in Kumogakure is in stark contrast to his pale blonde hair and beard. The man has a tattoo on his right shoulder-- the character for "iron"-- and what appears to be a tattoo of two horns on his left cheek. His eyes are hidden from you, as he is wearing dark oval-shaped sunglasses. He wears a white forehead protector and the standard white flak jacket of Kumo ninja. Matching his white outfit are white bands around his hands and a white scarf. The handles of many swords protrude from behind his back.
Sitting on a nearby rock is a boy who you assume is your teammate. He is dark-skinned as well, and his hair is also rather different from the color of his skin: in this case, it is short, spiky, and white. He is wearing a dark baggy hooded shirt, and his forehead protector is a matching color. His eyes are somewhat slanted, and they are currently staring into space. His hand rests on his chin as a lollipop in his mouth twirls about from being sucked on. You see a sword on this boy's back, leading you to believe your team will be taijutsu oriented.
But something struck you as odd... where was your third teammate? Most young shinobi were part of a four-man cell with three young genin serving under an older jonin. Kumogakure was different than most villages in that they had hundreds upon hundreds of children in an academy, probably since their graduation requisites were so strict. None of your friends had graduated, and there were far too many kids in the school... you might have seen that boy before, but you couldn't tell for sure. Then again, your did hear your father say that you were one of the eight out of your age group of fifty to graduate... were the teams being reorganized? You then realized that the answers were right in front of you, but before you could speak, your teacher cut you off.
"Hey there, gang! My name's Killer Bee! From here on out, you'll be learnin' under me!" he exclaimed in a boisterous tone. The way he talked was rather poetic... was he rapping?
"Um... Killer Bee, sir, may I ask a question?" you say in a quiet voice.
"Don't worry kid, I'll answer what you've got, but first let's get to know the lot!"
You weren't sure if you would be able to stand your new teacher if he always talked like this.
"Well..." the other boy spoke up, "...I'm Omoi." He seemed to not know what to say either, judging by the look of focus and confusion on his face.
"I'm Doukaku Fukui..." you say lowly. Usually at this point people heard the Fukui clan name, deduced the meaning of your first name, and instantly began to dislike you because of your grandfather.
"Fukui, eh? Related to those gold and silver guys? Don't fret, I can tell that you'll be a prize!" Killer Bee said with a warm smile. That... that has never been the first reaction anyone has ever given you upon learning your family history. You look at Omoi to see his reaction, but he still seemed to be lost in thought. Well, at least he didn't seem hateful towards you.
"No doubt you're wonderin' 'where's genin number three?' Well, the low amount of grads made the Raikage go gutsy. Only eight made it, which makes four teams of three, and the Raikage wanted to fill the absentee. So these teams are special, one of the first, to have the number of genin somewhat submersed. So we have two with two instead of three with one, and that'll ensure our missions will get done! Though our teams are stronger, which means missions'll be easy no longer. Though when you're with us, there'll be no need to fuss. So without further ado, here's the fourth of our crew!"
After his exuberant and eccentric little rap, Killer Bee struck an odd pose with his arms pointing next to him. A puff of smoke appeared, and when it cleared shortly after, you saw breasts.
It was impossible to not look at them; this woman had perhaps the largest chest you had ever seen before. It didn't help that her outfit accentuated her "assets." She had pale skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes. Her hair was shorter in the back than in the front. She had a rather cold expression on her face, so you expected her to be harsh and commanding.
"I'm Samui," she said in a quiet and meek tone, completely crushing your expectations (although you were thankful she wasn't bitchy), "I'll be joining this team as the senior supervisor under Killer Bee."
Killer Bee chuckled and playfully wrapped an arm around her neck. "Samui's been a student of mine for quite a long time, so with her our group synergy will be at its prime!"
You weren't quite so sure about that statement, but then you realized that not many words rhyme with "time." It seems your teacher would sometimes skew things just so he could continue to rap...
"So, sensei... what are we going to do now?" Omoi asked.
"Well, I don't know a thing about you two, and I wanna see what you've got. The sky's bright blue, so it's a perfect time to test you in this spot! Come at me, ya fools! Show me what ya learned in school!"
You looked at Omoi with a confused look. His facial expression confirmed that he had little idea what Killer Bee wanted from them.
Samui sighed in slight annoyance. You couldn't tell if it was directed at you and Omoi for not understanding Bee, or if it was towards Bee for speaking in that odd rap-like style. "He wants to test your shinobi abilities."
"Oh!" Omoi exclaimed in realization. He grabbed the katana on his back, unsheathed it, and flipped the sword around so the blunt end of the blade was facing outward. Omoi looked at you with a confident smile, "Well, Doukaku, let's show him what we've got!"
You nod at Omoi and turn to look at your teacher. He is simply standing still a few yards from you, his arms crossed. He seems to be patiently awaiting your first attack...
A. Trip him up by causing a small quake with your earth jutsu so Omoi can get a shot in.
B. Summon your hammer and engage in close-quarters combat with Omoi at your side.
C. Try using a genjutsu on him to see if you can distract him so Omoi can move in to strike.
D. Simply dash forward and deliver a few blows with your hands.

A.
Genjutsu is completely useless against Bee.

This is still a part of the tutorial; you are still shaping your character with these choices. While genjutsu is useless against him, if you want Doukaku to have some genjutsu other than basic basic stuff, then you'll need to choose those options in this fight.
Although you can always receive training later if you so desire, but that will take time and such and not be "freebie points" like these choices are.

You form a single snake seal and feel the chakra channeling into one of your hands.
"Doton: Earth Shaking Palm!" you shout as you slam your palm against the ground. You said the technique aloud to give Omoi a chance to avoid the effect of the attack. When your hand contacted the ground, it caused a powerful shockwave to surge forward from your hand, causing the ground to shake and rubble to fly up towards Killer Bee.
Killer Bee stumbled about as he tried to regain his footing on the shaky ground, but he still managed to dodge all of the rubble heading his way. Since the rumbling of the earth was in a conical shape outwards from you, all Omoi did was jump to avoid the initial impact, and then he was safe. He charged forward with his blade and delivered a leaping vertical strike towards Bee. A smile flashed across your teacher's face as he raised a hand and clasped Omoi's sword. Omoi's eyes widened in shock as he tried pulling his sword free, but Bee's grip was strong. Bee simply hurled Omoi's sword back (with Omoi still holding on to it). He landed on the ground next to you and slowly stood up.
"Ow... that hurt..." he groaned as he shook his head slowly.
"That was good, but try harder than that! Come on, show me you're more than just brats!" Killer Bee exclaimed as he resumed his standing position with his arms crossed.
"Looks like we have to convince him we're worth battling first..." Omoi said as he assumed a fighting stance.
"That's kind of arrogant, don't you think? But then again... there's something real powerful about this guy," you said.
Omoi took a hand off of his sword's handle to stroke his chin in thought, "You know, I bet he's someone real important to the village. Who else would act this cocky while still being really strong?"
"I think you're right... I just wish they told us about our teachers back when we graduated from the academy..." you grumble.
"Come on guys, don't keep me waiting! Your lack of drive is really irritating!" Killer Bee exclaimed.
"Cut us some slack! We're planning over here!" you shout at your teacher in an angry tone.
"Just some advice," Samui said, making you realize that she was observing the battle, too, "Bee doesn't really think things through. He lacks patience... but I complement him. I'm quite the planner and the strategist. But rarely can you stop and plan in the middle of a battle. You have to think on your feet."
Think on your feet? Well, it makes sense that an enemy wouldn't just stop and give you time to strategize...
"Hey, Doukaku..." you hear Omoi said, "I got an idea. We'll both charge at him and make it looks like we're both going to attack from the front, but I'll use my speed to slip behind Killer Bee and strike from behind. That sound good?"
A. Agree, attack Bee with Doton: Earth Fist.
B. Agree, attack Bee using taijutsu moves.
C. Agree, summon your hammer and attack Bee with that.
D. Disagree, propose an alternative plan (Free Will).
I'll get the first databooks up after this tutorial mission is over so you know what's in your arsenal.
