Uchiha headquarters

Sasuke sat slumped over in his chair, devising a plan to exact his revenge on the village elders. He knew that all of Konoha would try to stop him but he didn't fear any of them. After defeating both Orochimaru and Itachi he felt invincible, the only person he was afraid of was Madara.

"So whats our plan for attacking your home Sasuke?" Karin uttered

Sasuke raised his head to look at his small band.

"I want you all to make a distraction while I sneak in to kill the village elders. I don't want any stupid moves, we move in and move out, we can't survive a lasting battle this mission is purely hit and away." Sasuke said with a stern tone.

"Aww come on, can't we have a little fun while we are there? I havn't gotten to test out my blade" Suigetsu commented

"Impossible, if you don't stick to the plan I will kill you myself." Sasuke's cold voice sent chills up all of the Eagle members' spines. Suigetsu stepped back as a bead of sweat rolled down his face.

"Yea sure, whatever you say boss."

Sasuke's voice returned to his usual emotionless tone

"Good, I want you all to scout out the area surrounding the Hidden Leaf village and report back here in 36 hours, once we have a plan mapped out we will attack."

"And what are you planning to do?" Juugo asked

"I have business to attend to in Konoah." Sasuke uttered, his tone clearly stating he didn't want a response.

"He better not be going back to see some girl." Karin thought to herself. She wanted to follow him just to make sure but she knew that Sasuke was serious about their orders and she knew what Sasuke was capable of.

Sasuke rose from his chair and raised his voice "Alright, Eagle move out!"

The three ninjas jumped away from the Uchiha headquarters and Sasuke moved to the door and began his journey back to Konoah.

Chapter 1: A Familiar Power

Team 7 met in the usual spot early in the morning. It was a beautiful day, barely a cloud in the sky and the sound of birds chirping was in the wind. Naruto yawned and complained about how early they had to get up.

"Geez you think they would at least let us sleep in now that we are chunnin."

"Naruto you still aren't a chunnin remember?" Sakura snapped in an annoyed tone

Naruto scratched the back of his head and let out a forced laugh, he quickly changed the subject.

"Well then at least Kakashi-sensei could be here on time at least once."

A puff of smoke dissipated as the Copy Ninja appeared sitting on the bridge railing

"Sorry I had to check on something" Kakashi said

"Yeah probably checking out how his "sleep" button works on his alarm clock" Naruto whispered. Sakura gave Naruto a quick thump to Naruto's head

"Ow what was that for?" Naruto yelled

"Four years and you still don't show respect for your sensei, when will you grow up Naruto!? So sensei, what are we going to do today?" Sakura said with some excitement.

"Today you and Sai are going to be learning your element, and Naruto you are going to help them out."

Sakura looked at Kakashi with an eager gaze in her eyes.

"Really Kakashi-sensei?" She sounded as giddy as a school girl

"Yup, it's time you and Sai learned how to harness your element."

They all headed out to the usual training grounds, it had been a while since they had all worked on the same thing in a long time, they had often been practicing their own jutsus separately.

They arrived at the training grounds and Kakashi gave a card to Sakura and Sai. Naruto smirked knowing how shocked and excited he was when he received the same cards.

"Now, I want both of you to focus your chakra into the card."

Kakashi pulled out a card of his own and after a second the card crumpled up.

"If the card crumples you have an affinity for the lightning element, if it burns you have an affinity for the element of fire, the card will turn to dust for an earth affinity, cut in half for a wind element, and get wet for a water element."

Sai and Sakura then concentrated on their respective cards for a moment. Sai's card began to get soggy and drip.

"Good job Sai, you seem to have an affinity for the water element." Kakashi said.

Sakura concentrated harder on her card, with her expertise at chakra control everyone was surprised she hadn't gotten a result from the card. A few seconds the card crumpled and sparks flew from Sakura's hand. All of team 7's eyes widened as they looked in shock at how Sakura had already created electrical currents run from her hand.

"That is very impressive Sakura, I've never seen someone create that much of a reaction from their first try before." Kakashi said, he was quite taken with the amount of power Sakura had just displayed.

Sakura looked in astonishment at her newfound power, but as soon as it sunk in she heard an all to familiar voice pop into her head Chidori!. She lowered her head and blinked rapidly hiding a tear forming in her eye.

"Well now that you both have discovered your nature affinity lets begin the training." Kakashi said.

The joyful tone snapped Sakura back into reality.

"Right!" the young members of Team 7 yelled.
