Chapter-1(Edited)

(After Sasuke's retrieval missoin failed, in the the village)

Everyone in the village were in a bad mood. The civilian council because many of them wanted their daughters get married to the Uchiha and be a part of a prestigious clan and be rich, the shinobi council because they lost an important bloodline, Tsunade because of extra paperwork, Shikamaru because of thought that his decision lives of his friends were in danger, Sakura because she lost her chance to be with her Sasuke-kun, Kakashi for teaching him his own jutsu that was meant to be used to protect one's comrades rather used to harm them but the one the most depressed was Naruto. Today he lost his teammate, a friend, a brother and mostly an important part of his already small family.

(In Hokage's office)

...so that is what happened during the mission, Hokage-sama. After saying this Shikamaru burst into tears, nothing mattered right now in this whole world right now. He wanted to just cry. He felt like becoming a ninja was his worst mistake right now. Then he hardened his resolve and finally said it to Tsunade while taking off his chunin vest - "Hokage-sama, I quit being a ninja".

"And what good it will do? Your friends will still be shinobi. They will take up missions with high risk in time. What if that time your friends will be in life threatening situation just because their leader was not smart enough to lead them properly? Then what will you do, give up your life just because you knew you could lead them better? So the question is do you really want to do this Shikamaru or you are running away from your responsibility". Said Shikaku.

"So what should I do? They are all in life threatening condition just because of my judgement. Chouji and Neji would not be in life threatening condition. Naruto, Kiba and Akamaru would not be injured such heavily and if not for Lee and sand siblings coming in time we all were practically dead. I don't deserve to only come with a finger broken". Answered Shikamaru.

"Damn it! It's so frustrating". Shouted Shikamaru while stomping the floor with his foot.

"Now Shikamaru, don't be so hard on yourself. You did everything in your power to make the mission a success. The problem was not with you or your team, it was just that this mission was not meant for fresh chunin and a team of genins but due to the condition of the village we had no choice but to send you guys. But consider this, you all fought Orochimaru's personal elite gaurds and not only survives but killed them. And if you feel so guilty then train and encourage your friends to train because only through training you all can become strong". Explained Tsunade to which Shikamaru could only nod while sobbing.

(A few days later, at Hospital in Naruto's room)

All the Rookie 11 came to visit Naruto except Sakura. Everyone was trying to convince him it was not his fault that Sasuke went to Orochimaru. Then suddenly the door of the room was burst open and everybody saw a very furious Sakura standing at the door. She started walking towards Naruto, grabbed the collar of his hospital gown and started yelling.

"You idiot! You promised me that you will bring Sauke-kun back to the village. And did you bring him? NOOO. All you can do is brag and boast. What was your nindo again? Let me think...YES, wasn't it supposed to be like "I NEVER GO BACK ON MY WORD". Maybe the people say right about you. You truly are a demon, playing with people's emotions, acting as a friend and then backstabbing them". YOU MONS...

As soon as Sakura was going to finish the sentence Jiraya slammed her to the wall while grabbing her neck. Behind him standing were Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai, Gai, Shizune and Tsunade.

"Don't even try to say that to him you ungrateful bitch. All you did was ask him to bring that bastard Uchiha back because you were too weak and when he failed, suddenly it's his fault. Pathetic! Tsunade I can't believe you took her to be your apprentice. Even though Naruto is dumb he would never do that to a comrade but you even with all the brains would follow a traitor like a lost puppy. You truly made a bad choice to pick her up as your apprentice Tsunade". Said the Toad Sannin burning with fury.

"Maybe what you said is true Jiraya. This girl is clearly not fit to be a ninja and definitely a medic ninja because we have compassion for comrades whoever they maybe and hate traitors. HARUNO SAKURA you are taken off the shinobi program till we see you fit for duty and till then your apprenticeship under me is canceled". Declared Tsunade.

"Just what do you all see in this dobe anyway. Jiraya-sama teaches him; Kakashi-sensei, Shizune-san and Tsunade-shisho favours him. Just what do you all see in him? He has got no talent to be a shinobi. You all are just wasting your time on him. If for just once you all have put the same effort in training Sasuke-kun then he would have made a Jonin easily". Shouted Sakura.

"Seems like I made the right choice. ThankYou Jiraya! For making me see my mistake. Now HARUNO SAKURA get out of my sight and don't even bother to think you are a ninja untill I deem you worthy again. Now get out of my sight, right now!" Ordered an enraged Tsunade.

After being severely scolded, punished and humilated by the Sannins she left the hospital as fast as possible while crying and cursing Naruto. She went to her house.

"Everybody in this room right now, come meet us tomorrow at 0700 hours near memorial stone and don't be late. Now everybody leave the room, me and Jiraya have something to talk about". Tsunade spoke in a strict and yet gentle tone.

(Next day, near the memorial stone)

Everyone was waiting for the two Sannins and Shizune. Asuma was talking with Kurenai. Gai was complaining about Kakashi and his hip-cool attitude. Tenten and Neji were embarrassed seeing Gai complain. Lee was doing pushups. Kiba tried to flirt with Ino so started flirting back and left Kiba embarrassed before everyone. Chouji was eating his chips. Shikamaru was showing the pleasure of cloud watching while doing nothing to Naruto. Hinata was trying to watch Naruto cloud watching and Shino well he was just being Shino.

Then Tsunade and Jiraya came with Shizune holding TonTon in tow. They all suddenly gathered as soon as possible in teams in a line.

"Good Morning everyone. Today you all have gathered here so that we can give you all kids proper evaluation of your current level and how can you all improve yourselves. but firstly you should all know something that happened yesterday. Your classsmate and friend Sakura left the village and became a missing-nin. Her obsession with the traitor is so great that when Jiraya confronted her she threatened to kill him so we are going to be using her as a bug to get information on Orochimaru and don't even think her of as your friend now. She has shown her true colours and where her loyalty lies. Her memories of Jiraya has been erased and so if anybody of you ever encounter her be careful not to tell her about the encounter with Jiraya. Most probably Orochimaru will take her and train her to be a medic since she has talent for it but not up to my level and if you don't believe that this. It is her letter informing the leaf of her betrayal". Said Tsunade.

(The letter)

Dear Konoha,

I Haruno Sakura hereby declare that I'm leaving the shinobi forces of KONOHA and joining OTO. Sasuke-kun was right, Konoha will not help us to grow stronger since they are afraid that we both rising elites will overtake them in a few years if they keep training us and since Sasuke-kun is attracted to powerful people I'll become strong enough so that he will recognize me, then we will get married and live happily forever and after. Konoha has gotten weak so weak they have high expectations from Naruto. This shows their level of weakness. Huh, having one of the most powerful person teaching that dobe, what good will that do? Tsunade that blind old hag thinks that I'm not compassionate to be a medic then guess what you will never find an apprentice better than myself in the whole world. I'm leaving Konoha forever. Later in time you will see that you have been so unlucky to lost Sauke-kun and me.

GoodBye and fuck yourselves Konoha

HARUNO SAKURA

"Now Jiraya will give you all your evaluation. Don't feel bad about yourselves when he points out your weaknesses but instead try to overcome them and if you don't believe in him then get lost. I brought him here to point out your weaknesses so that one of the most promising batch of rookies can become strong and if you still doubt him I will remind you all that he taught the Yondime-Hokage. He took an orphan as an apprentice and transformed him from an average genin to a SS-class ninja. One of the best, master of fuinjutsu and inventor of an A-class jutsu even if it is still incomplete THE RASENGAN and an improved version of the HIRAISHIN NO JUTSU created by my greatuncle, Nidime Hokage. So don't bullshit that he doesn't know us so he can't train us properly. Understand". Said Tsunade in an authoritive voice.

"Yes Tsunade-sama, we understand". Said everyone in unision.

SHINO: Should have at least a little more fun. Learn to set traps. Use medical ninjutsu. Improve your taijutsu and learn chakra scalpel to increase combat prowess.

TEAM 10:

SHIKAMARU: Train hard to reach a good level of taijutsu and body fitness. Try to learn fuinjutsu as it will perfectly compliment your style of battle. Use genjutsu, since it mostly uses yin part of the chakra you will thrive in this art form since you have a sharp mind it will come to you easily.

TEAM GAI:

TENTEN: Learn ninjutsu and genjutsu. Try to learn fuinjutsu since you already use fuinjutsu but of beginner level. Try to learn medical ninjutsu if you can.

LEE: Learn at least 4 more taijutsu styles aside from Goken, so your fighting style may not become predictable. Learn and polish your natural talent of drunken fist. Train hard so that you can use the celestial gates till the seventh gate and increase the time limit you can maintain it.

NEJI: Learn be a medic. Encorporate chakra scalpel technique in your Jyuuken. learn to use genjutsu and ninjutsu so you may be effective in mid and long range fights too.

TEAM 7:

NARUTO: Learn to meditate and keep yourself calm. Practice medic level chakra control exercise so you may properly utilize your chakra reserves. Learn more elemental ninjutsu and how to dispel genjutsu. Improve your situational awareness and learn to plan a strategy before jumping into a fight.

"Now to everyone learn and master at least a weapon. At least master your primary elemental affinity and learn to use it effectively in battle". Said Jiraya.

"Hey! Hey! Ero-Sennin what is Elemental Affinity?" Questioned Naruto.

"Brat didn't you ever pay attention in the class. Well that doesn't matter. Let me explain.

There are 5 elements in nature. Namely: WATER, FIRE,WIND, LIGHTENING and EARTH. Each element is powerful and weak against one other element. Fire is weak against Water but powerful against wind. Wind is weak against Fire but powerful against Lightening. Lightening is weak against Wind but powerful against Earth. Earth is weak against Lightening but powerful against Water. Water is weak against Earth but powerful against Fire.

Each individual has got chakra inclined to at least one nature, some individuals to two. But with enough practice one can get artificial extra affinity. But mastering elements is hard. First element is hard to master, Second element is 10 times harder to master than the First. Third element is 10 times harder to master then the Second element. Fourth element is 10 times more harder than the Third. Fifth is 10 times more harder than Fourth. The only people I've ever known to master all five elements are Sandime Hokage and an orphan of Ame who I trained so that he could protect himself during the time of war but unfortunately both of them are no more. Now getting back to topic.

Then if you truly master two or more elements and combine the two types of chakra in proper ratios you could create a Sub-Element. The newly appointed Mizukage posses two Sub-Element but to create a sub-element is extreamly hard". Explained Jiraya.

"Now take these piece of paper and each of you channel your chakra into it. These type of paper will react differently to each nature of chakra. For Fire it will burn, Water will make it wet, Wind will cut it, Lightening will crumple it and earth will turn it into dust. Now give it a try". Kakashi suggested.

To Kakashi's suggestion everyone channeled their chakra into the paper and got different results. Shino, Chouji and Tenten's paper turned to dust. Hinata and Shikamaru's paer got wet. Ino's paper burned. Kiba and Neji's paper got crumpled. Naruto's paper first got cut in two then turned to dust.

"So it seems Hinata and Shikamaru's affinity is towards water. Shino, Choji and Tenten's affinity is towards earth. Ino's affinity is towards fire. Kiba and Neji's affinity is towards Lightening and Naruto has got a duaal affinity. Primary affinity towards wind and secondary affinity towards earth". Said Tsunade.

"Now since everything is cleared up so let's go to towards our everyday troublesome lives". Said Tsunade while thinking of the never ending paperwork.
