Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or anything that has to do with it. Just my OC, Sora
Description: Sora is 18 years old, ninja (not telling what class, it will be revealed later). Been away from the village for about 3 years or so.
OH And most importantly: Yes, I have made changes to the original plot of the story, do not message me telling me some of it is wrong.
Now: On with the story!
Konoha: Normal POV
Kakashi cocked an eyebrow at the concoction in Sora's rice bowl, "...You don't expect me to actually eat that do you...?"
"Duh, I do Kakashi, or I wouldn't have offered it to you!"
"...It's green... rice... should not... be green..."
"Keh, you're just narrow-minded, it'll make you stronger so those kids of yours won't beat up on you all the time."
"...prove it..."
"Fine, I'll eat it and train your students, I won't even get tired. You watch Kakashi, call your students. I'll be waiting."
"This sounds remarkably like a bet Sora... You know we're forbidden to partake in that-"
"Keh, you're old self is showing again Kakashi, so the bet is: If I'm not tired after eating the green rice, you have to... give up your Come Come Paradise-"
"-You expect me to give that up?"
"Yes, I do, and since you're shaking my hand right now I'm going to assume that you've accepted." Kakashi glanced down to see her forcibly shaking his hand. His eye rolled up lazily towards her, but he merely turned and walked away.
Kakashi was a quiet and slow type of Jounin, but still one of Sora's better friends. In fact if it wasn't for him, she'd still probably be out sneaking information from rats. Kakashi was exceptionally strong, even though he rarely showed it. He seemed to prefer being late and reading his 'Come come paradise' books, to teaching. Because he has the sharingan, Kakashi was a formidable opponent, however... the last time they fought 3 years ago, Sora basically knocked him out within the first few minutes.
Sora smirked at the expression on Kakashi's face as he walked away from her; he was obviously irritated that she was degrading him. She let out a sigh of mischief and leaned back onto the grass she was sitting on. Her chestnut hair fanned out behind her, and her creamy skin radiated in the warm sun.
"You lazy bum Sora-sama, you're supposed to be recruiting new students from the academy..."
"Eh?" Sora popped one eye open to see Nara Shikamaru leaning against the tree and gazing up into the clouds.
"Oh it's you... well it's not like you're a prize yourself, Shikamaru."
Shikamaru was a lazy kid, and sure he was a genius with an IQ of 200 (or some crazy number like that), but he was a male- chauvinist. Didn't believe any woman was worth his time of day, and all they're good at, are being troublesome. Although he never looked down upon Sora, it was an ongoing competition to see who could be lazier, Sora or him.
Currently, Sora was holding the position of laziest in the village, and she had only been back for a month after her two-year mission.
"... So I take it you're not even going to try helping the ninja academy?"
"Keh, those bumbling fools can handle it themselves... once they're done raving about their fantastic students, I get to take them under wing."
Shikamaru smirked at her comment, "It's nice having you back Sora-sama.."
"Yeah, nice to be back with all you psychopathic genin running around.."
"...don't be so full of yourself Sora-sama.. You are only 2 years older than I, besides I'm a Chuuin now."
"So? I'm 18, and you're 16. End of deal squirt, now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to win a bet with Kakashi, oh and I think you'd better get your ass over to your training session, before Asuma-sensei comes to pummel me (which we all know means that she's going to be the one being pummeled)."
"... how troublesome..." Shikamaru muttered under his breath, as Sora bound away towards the main part of the village.
Inside the Village: Sora POV
"Sora-sama! Would you like to see my new Jutsu?!" I glanced down at a small ninja-child running at me with a look of pure excitement in his eyes; it was Konohamaru, the 3rd Hokage's grandson. Usually, this kid was always running up to me and bragging about his sensei (rival), and how great he was...
"Sure, go on; show me!"
"Alright!" He jumps back from me and begins his jutsu just like any other type.
"Orioke no Jutsu!!!"
"...what? ...the sexy no jutsu??"
Immediately, in replacement of a short ninja, a tall nude beautiful woman appeared, causing several nosebleeds from passerby's.
"See?! Aren't you proud Sora-sama?!" My eyebrow cocks in acknowledgement and I pat him on the head with a slight grin, "... Just don't let Iruka-sensei catch you doing that, alright?" He nodded happily and ran off to tell his friends that I had just approved of his Jutsu.
"...Kid's these days, all they need is a little 'that's great' and they're happy!" I smiled and start striding off to where I knew Kakashi usually met his kids, they were supposedly a pretty interesting team.
First there was Haruno Sakura; the brains of their team. Not only was she supposed to have the most control over her chakra, she was also supposed to be a pretty wise person when her thoughts weren't clouded with things like guys.
Second, there was Uchiha Sasuke; the number one rookie of the village, a genius if you will. Not that I had any reason to question his skills, but I had known his brother, and before he turned into a psychotic terrorist leader, he was a pretty cool guy. I actually trusted his brother Itachi, but when I learned he killed his clan, I lost all respect for him. Sasuke was supposed to have the Sharingan, and was the village lady's man.
Last, there was Uzumaki Naruto; or as the village called him, 'nine-tails'. He was everything that Sasuke wasn't; loud, head-strong, and stupid. But nonetheless, I held great respect for him, even if he probably didn't remember me. After all, it'd been a while since I'd been at the village.
Team 9's Training Area: Normal POV
"Why do we have to be trained by someone else, Kakashi-sensei?! She's probably some weak-ass, knowing your friends."
"...I would watch your tongue Naruto.. she has a short temper..."
"Yeah right, I bet you I can beat her hands tied behind my back!"
"Shut up you idiot!"
"-But Sakura-san, I was just-"
"We're here."
Sora glanced up and saw Kakashi returning with three kids trailing behind him; or rather, two behind him, one loudly mouthing her off in front. 'I'm guessing that's the infamous Naruto..'
"Well Sora-san... the one with the big mouth is Uzumaki Naruto, and-"
"-I do not have a big mouth!"
"As I was saying, this one's Naruto, this girl is Haruno Sakura and-"
"Yeah, that one's Sasuke, I'm already well acquainted with all of their names. You know, being away so long doesn't make me stupid Kakashi"
"...Fine... then get this over with please." Sora smirked at his request and glance warily at the three teens in front of her. They were all Shikamura's age, and it didn't look like any one of them really wanted to listen to a girl who was only 2 or three years older then them.
"Kakashi-sensei!! You're kidding me!! We have to be trained by her?!"
"Yes, so shut up and listen to her."
"Hmph."
"Now then, if you're done arguing over how weak I am, let's begin training, neh?" Sora nodded at Kakashi, and he walks off to the corner of the forest clearing, but of course takes out his book and begins reading.
'I can't believe she's training us! SHE'S NO BETTER THAN THAT INO-PIG!!' Sakura's thoughts rang loud and clear in Sora's mind, followed by Naruto's and then Sasuke's.
'Hmp. I can't believe Kakashi is letting her train us, I bet I'd get a lot more done with him...'
'... her chakra.. how can it be radiating off of her... when she's not even fighting? ...hn.. I bet she has no control of her energy..'
Sora put on a daring smile and began her 'speech'.
"I am Shibahara Sora, your trainer for the day due to special circumstances." Her eyes flash over at Kakashi for a moment, and she saw him smirk, "Therefore I'm going to treat this as my first day of as a real trainer. I want you all to look at me and tell me what you see when you look at me. Be honest and tell me everything you think of, it's not like I'll bite you!" '...much...'
Naruto rose his hand first, so she nodded at him to begin.
"I see a weak-ass girl that somehow managed to blackmail Kakashi-sensei into allowing her to train us!"
"Idiot! Don't say that to our new Sensei!"
"I'm sorry Sakura-kun!"
"Sakura,why don't you tell me what you see when you look at me?"
"Alright... I see... a girl that isn't much older than us that must have a lot of skill to be able to train us…"
"I see…and Sasuke-kun? What do you see?"
"...I see... power..." Sora nodded and glance over all three once again; and then broke out into laughter.
"HEY! What's so funny Sora-sensei?!" Naruto exclaimed, pointing at her figure that's rolling on the ground laughing.
"You guys! All three of you! All three of you did not speak your mind. Not all of it at least! In other words, you failed. Nice job Kakashi, what did you do, teach 'em how to lie?"
"How would you know?" Sasuke asked immediately, on the verge of using his Sharingan.
She smiled pleasantly and grabbed a stick nearby and began drawing a diagram on the dirt; first Sora drew Sakura's head.
"This is Sakura-kun's thoughts," she said, while pointing at a region on her forehead, "This is where your personal thoughts come from and this is how your mind connects your thoughts and emotions together. Now, when I asked you to tell me what you thought; all three of you did not tell me all of what you thought. Your thoughts faltered right about here. There are a bunch of different subtypes of chakra that are constantly flowing through your mind, but when there's a pause in the flow, or some other circumstance, it can all change."
Sora pointed at the path from where the thoughts and emotion connect and then pointed at her own head, "Now, all of you were trying to either be respectful, or nice, which is why your thoughts faltered. In any case of a real life/death situation, your thoughts cannot falter. You must decide within that instant whether or not to continue!"
She smiled brightly at the three and stood up, straightening the headband on her forehead, "Alright, now that that test is over with, let's begin the real training then neh?"
"Alright! I've been waiting for this!" Naruto exclaimed, getting ready to fight
"Hold it right there!" She shouted, causing Naruto to collapse onto the ground.
"I need to eat some of this rice!"
"EH?!!!"
Sora wiped some grains of the rice from her mouth and turn to face them again, "Okay, now I'm ready!" Naruto's jaw dropped, "You're kidding me! All that so you could eat some rice?!"
"Yeah, got any problems squirt?"
"Who're you calling squirt?! I'm taller than you!"
"... never believe what you see at first." She muttered so quietly that only Sasuke could hear her.
She marched across the clearing to a tall tree and then sat down below it, nodding for them to follow her. All three of them sat in front of her and awaited her instructions, which really weren't all too difficult.
"For this training, you will be working on not only your mental strength, but also your physical strength. You'll see how it's physical once we get started, but before we start, I would really like you to get anything off your chest that you might need to know about me. This is for your own benefit, since in order to complete today's training you're going to have to know more than you do right now, I'll give you guys hmm... 3 minutes and 45 seconds to choose one question, ready? Begin."
Sora glanced again over at Kakashi, who was watching amused while the three of them dove into discussion on what the question should be; she really never had experience teaching a bunch of genins or chuuins, so this was a little of a stretch.
"Alright! Time's up! What'd you guys choose?" Sasuke looked straight into your eyes and asked the question you were hoping they'd ask, "How did you know what we were thinking."
She grinned, knowing that Sakura and Naruto didn't care to know that question, but Sasuke was thinking along the right lines in order to finish training.
"Very good question you three, and for that I'll give you a good answer. The reason why I can tell what you're thinking is because of my chakra, similar to the way the Sharingan works, automatically can tell me the different movements of one's mind; including the subconscious. The difference between the Sharingan and my chakra is that my chakra is on as long as I'm alive, which almost gives me the ability to... " Sora paused, now knowing how to say it without sounding stupid.
"It gives you the ability to read minds without even trying..." Sasuke stated in a fake disinterested tone.
"Precisely Sasuke-kun, and now that I've answered that question, let's get to the training!" Sora point at the tree behind her and smiled, "Now, Kakashi has already informed me that all three of you are in complete, if not relative, control of your chakra. Therefore, today you will all compete in a... 'chakra relay'. All you need to do, is to climb to the top of the tree with only your feet, walk across the lake over there, climb the wall at the end of the forest passage-way, double back and answer my question correctly."
"What happens if we're wrong Sora-sensei?" Sakura asked quietly
"Well, if you're wrong then you have to re-do the entire course! Round-trip I'd expect the traveling distance to be about... 10 miles.. not too bad neh? I cut it short for you guys!"
"TEN MILES?! You're kidding me! Why don't you do it with us?!"
"Because. This is your training, not mine! Now remember, pay attention to the different things you pass, or you'll never answer the question correctly! You have until sundown, or I'll have you punished. Ready? Go!"
"And they're off!" She shouted, smirking delightfully at her maniacal plan. After seeing they're choice of question, and they're thoughts on her, it was obvious they wouldn't be able to answer the question!
"... Sora-san, you never said what would happen if you were wrong.." Sora glanced over at Kakashi and waved him off.
"Kakashi, with all due respect, have you had a look at them lately? They lack the self-confidence to become a great ninja. Of course I get to take all your come come paradise books!"
"Don't underestimate them Sora-san... they're capable of some very spur of the moment things."
"So I've heard, but still-"
"-you do realize that Naruto is cutting the course right now."
"Neh? Yeah, I was just going to see if he would change his mind."
Because both Sora and Kakashi had the ability to see a person's actions before they occurred, she could both see Naruto cutting across the field instead of the lake.
".. so you'll let him cheat?"
"Sure, if he doesn't go all the way, he won't know the answer."
".. if you say so Sora."
"Anyway, if you're that sure of yourself winning, then let's see... you choose for me to do something for an entire week if I lose alright?"
"Fine with me... "
"Don't you start getting any corrupt ideas Hatake!"
"Tut Tut… You always assume the worst Sora-san"
1 Hour Later: Sora POV
After about an hour of having a fun talk with Kakashi, and catching up with some memories, I could sense both Naruto and Sasuke coming back.
"Sora-sensei!! I'm ready!"
"Hold on Naruto.. Let me explain this first, I'm going to tell you what the goal of your journey was, and then I'll ask you the question alright? Since you're both here, I'm going to have to tell you here, then have you tell me individually, okay?"
They both nodded so I began, "I sent you out there to find my pet; it was a black bear with a green stripe running down her back. She was slightly vicious when I last left her, so now I'll ask you... Did you think you saw her? Naruto, you can tell me first."
"Why me?! I'm still thinking!"
"Fine then, Sasuke, please come here and whisper it in my ear."
"Alright." Sasuke walked over to me and leaned in near my neck, he lingered there for a moment, before muttering his answer. I glanced up and him and shook my head.
"Okay, Sasuke, please go out and redo the course, Naruto? Are you ready?"
"Yeah! (haha.. buh-bye Sasuke-kun, I'm going to beat you!)"
"Come tell me already Naruto!"
"Okay!" Naruto leaned in to my ear and whispered it quickly with a grin on his face, but I shook her head and sent him off again, only to sense Sakura arriving.
I told Sakura the same story, and she told me the same answer as the others, so I sent her off again.
"See Kakashi? Your students lack the self-confidence in their own answers!"
"You think I'm responsible for that..?"
"Uh, YEAH."
By sunset, they all arrived back again for the seventh time; none of them had gotten the question correct, but they were all looking tired from using so much chakra and physical stamina.
"What?! You mean we were all wrong every single time?!"
"Yes Sora-sensei! How can that be?" Icould see Sakura thinking some very diabolical thoughts in her mind, and I shuddered thinking how every girl thinks like that.
"I know all of you know the correct answer, I just think you're all answering incorrectly. Why don't I give you all one last chance to meet with each other before coming up with the right answer? Or should I just punish you now..?"
"NO! Give us a chance!" Naruto pleaded, I chuckled and waved them on, "You have exactly 4 minutes until sunset, better hurry up!"
I watched in amusement as Naruto argued head on with Sasuke and Sakura, and how with every word they grew farther and farther away from the correct answer. Finally the four minutes were up, "Okay, come on over, I want one of you to tell me what you all decided was the correct answer!"
Naruto stepped forward and glared at me straight in the eye, "The answer is no and yes!"
"-Naruto you idiot! That's not what we agreed on-"
"No, let him continue Sakura! I'm intriguied.."
"Okay, so you asked whether we saw the vicious black bear, that has a green stripe down her back, and the answer is no, we didn't!"
"...and what about the yes part?"
"Everytime we went back, there was a new aspect of the description, that wasn't shown before, so it was pointless for us to cut the course short-"
"you mean like you did?"
Naruto cocked an eyebrow, hesitated, but then nodded his head; I could see both Sakura and Sasuke's anger pulsating around them, causing me to smirk at Naruto's honesty.
"Very good Naruto! You actually got the answer right!"
"... YES!! HAH TAKE THAT!!" Naruto leapt up and started cheering himself on, 'sheesh.. how much energy can one guy have?'
That's all for now!
