Monkey: Yo! So here's the thing. In my other fanfic, Moon, Snow and Hail, I said when I would be updating these fanfics. I was wrong. I am most likely just going to make new ones when I feel like it. And I have this idiot friend who bugs me to make more chapters so it won't be that bad...I think.

Naruto: Well aren't you so reliable.

Monkey: Shut up! You're just jealous.

Naruto: OF WHAT!

Monkey: Me not being named after food.

Naruto:...Wrong.

Monkey: Right.

Naruto: wrong.

Monkey: Disclaimer?

Naruto: You don't own anything.

Monkey: Which sucks.

Naruto: Here's chapter two.

Chapter 2: Wind Power

It has been a few weeks since squad 11 became genin, and true to what Kaze had said, they have been doing chor-ahem, D-rank missions.

"Urg! When we get in there I'm going to give that old man a piece of my mind and WE ARE GOING TO GET A BETTER MISSION!" Naruto yelled as the team was walking to the Hokage tower.

"Good luck with that, Naru. You'll probably get shot down. Ne, Hina?" The taller boy said looking at the girl. That's another thing. During the time they have been a team, Kaze has started calling them 'Naru' and 'Hina'. They didn't mind.

"Well he still has a chance. Plus if we can get Kurenai-sensei to recommend us, we can get a C-rank mission." She said looking back at her friend.

"See! Hinata-chan is on my side!" Naruto exclaimed happily. After the little talk Kaze had with Hinata, he had been trying to get the two of them together. After awhile he got Naruto to start calling her 'Hinata-chan', and on occasions 'Hinata-hime'.

"Hmph. Whatever. It's just 'cuz you two are little love birds." Before either of them could say anything he continued. "We're here."


"Ah! Squad 11. What great timing. We have the perfect mission for you." The Hokage said pulling out a scroll. Before Naruto could start yelling he inturppted. "Your mission is to help squads 7, 8 and 10 on their mission gone wrong in the wave country."

"And why weren't one of the teams going on that mission in the first place?" Kaze asked through gritted teeth and a tick mark on his forehead.

"We'll take it." Kurenai said quickly. "Okay team, I want you to pack for a 2 week long mission and meet me at the south gate in 20 minutes."

"Hai sensei."


The whole team was waiting at the gate for their last member, Kaze. When he finally arrived they all saw the he now had a blade at his hip that was in a green sheath. The hilt was wrapped in a mint green cloth and it's guard was the Yin Yan symbol. They all gave him a look asking the same thing.

"Don't ask. I know how to use it." He said with a hmph.

"Alright team. Let's move out."

"Hai!"


After running the whole way there, the team had finally caught up with the others and saw the situation. Kakashi, Asuma and Ashita were trapped in water spheres by Zabuza and his clones. Sakura, Christina and Ino were guarding the client and all the boys were fighting against water clones. They could easily say that they needed help.

"Let's go help them out. Kaze, if you can you get rid of this mist." Kurenai said as the boy prepaired an attack.

"With pleasure. Fūton: Daitoppa!"As he let out his jutsu, a huge gust of wind appeared and blew away all of the mist, while the others threw kunai at the clones, turning them into water. "Sensei. I wanna try the combo we've been working on." He said looking at his teacher.

"Depends. Have you perfected it?"

"Almost. Hina doesn't have enough speed, but Naru will back us up." He said as the other two nodded. Zabuza was getting irritated that they were ignoring him, but also interested on what this combo was. As for the others, Sasuke was mad that not only did they take away the mist, but also got rid of the clones that he was having trouble with. Sakura, Ino, and Tazuna looked relieved to see help. Kiba, Christina and Choji were excited to see what the combo was and happy for the backup. Shikamaru sighed on relief, Sai and Shino stayed neutral, but grateful for the help and Akamaru barked in happiness. "Ready team!" He exclaimed getting nods. "Alright than! Naru, will ya start things off than!"

"You know it! Fūton: Kasukēdingu Tatsumaki!" He yelled as a tornado came from his outstretched hands, hitting the water and making it fly in the air. The next thing Zabuza saw was Hinata running straight at him ready to attack. He made a clone, but it was destroyed thanks to Naruto. Next thing he knew, Zabuza got hit with an elbow to the back and a Gentle Fist hit from the front. As he was hit he turned into water and Asuma was free.

"Thanks." He said and got ready to fight. Before he could they saw the other clone turn into water and Kakashi in a stalemate with Zabuza. Then they heard a whistle from somewhere.

"That was a nice move you did there to senpai." They all turned to see a lean-built young man of average height, straight white hair with a light-blue tint to it, purple eyes and pointed teeth. He was wearing a purple, sleeveless shirt with blue pants, sandals and a belt with bottles of water on it.

"Why thank you, Same-chan." Kaze said.

"What did you call me!? My name is Suigetsu! No Same! And it for sure doesn't have '-chan' in it!" The boy exclaimed.

"Don't take it personally. He does that with everyone." Naruto said with a sweat-drop.

"Tsk. Whatever. Anyway, I should kill you all now." He said grinning and getting a jutsu ready.

"You can try...but I'm warnin' ya. If you get one hit on any of them..." Some wind was now swirling around him. "You'll be sliced Same." They both glared at each other when they noticed something.

Kakashi and Zabuza started going through multiple hand signs and the next thing anybody knew there was a large amount of water rushing towards them. Seeing this, Kaze put some chakra to his feet and got in front of the others. He sucked in a huge breath of air, thanked it out.

"Kaze no Hōkō!" He yelled as a tornado was released from his mouth and clashed with the water. Everyone watched as he forced the water back with the wind coming from his mouth. In the backround Kiba and Christian were yelling about how cool that was. When the water died down they saw Zabuza get hit in the neck by senbon. A hunter ninja then came out and took Zabuza's body and Kakashi fell unconscious, Suigetsu was also gone. Everyone just followed Tazuna back to his house.


"So that's what happened then. Hmmm." While Kurenai was thinking about what to do, Kakashi woke up and said that Zabuza was still alive.

"Well that was obvious." Kaze said with an eye roll. Seeing some of the others looking confused he continued. "Hunger ninja get rid of the body after killing them..."

"So that means that the hunter ninja was Zabuza's friend." Shikamaru finished. "Troublesome."

"Well why don't we go train you guys to help." Kakashi said with an eye smile.


"Okay. You are going to learn how to climb a tree." Kakashi said looking at the genin.

"But we already know how to climb a tree." Sakura said trying to impress Sasuke.

"He means without hands." Naruto said as he started walking up a tree using his chakra. "By using your chakra to stick to the tree."

"Cool! When do we start!?" Kiba yelled wanting to know how to do that. (1)

"Right now. And you should use a kunai to mark how far you've gotten." The silver Cyclopes said.

"Hm. If the dobe can do it, then it should be easy for an elite like me." Sasuke said getting eye rolls from most of the people there. As he ran up the tree he didn't make it far before falling. Sakura was the only one who could do it because of he low chakra reserves. The same thing happened for the other teams until Kiba went up to squad 11.

"Oi! Do you guys have any tips on how to do this?" He asked as they jumped down from the tree they were on.

"Sure!" Kaze said. "Whoever wants help with this, just come over here!" He continued as everyone, but Sasuke, went over to hear the explanation.

"And when you guys are done here, you can come and train with us!" Naruto said getting nods or excited cheers from the rest of them.

After awhile all of them got them hang of it besides Sasuke. Turing to Ino, who was one of the only other people there, he asked her. "What did they tell you?" She looked at him than turned away to leave. Not wanting to be ignored, he ya led on her arm which caused her to let out a yelp. "Damn it bitch! Answer me!" He execliamed, about to slap her. He was stopped when a hand grabbed his wrist. They both turned to see Kiba looking pissed.

"You would hit a girl, you prick!" He than grabbed Ino by the hand, not a hard grip. "Come on, Ino. Let's go see Naruto's team practice." He than pulled her with him.


As they were walking though the forest, Kiba was still holding Ino's hand. She yanked her hand out of his. "Okay Kiba. We're gone now." She than saw his expression go from mad to sad as her hand left his. She than walked up to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek causing both to blush. "And thank you for helping me." Kiba just stood there with a shit eating grin on his face. "Come on, or we might miss!" She called back.


When they got to the spot where everyone else was, they were astonished at what they saw. Naruto, Hinata and Kaze were standing on the water and inside a bubble made of chakra. On top of each bubble there was a symbol. On Naruto's there was the Uzumaki symbol, on Hinata's there was they Hyuga symbol and on Kaze's there was the kanji for wind on it.

"What are they doing?" Ino asked looking at the others.

"They put a chakra bubble over themselves and keep it like that for a few minutes than... Well you can see for yourselves." Kurenai said also watching. Doing as they were told they all turned back to the three on the water. They saw chakra threads come out of each of their bubbles.

Naruto had an orange thread, Hinata had a lavender thread and Kaze had a red thread. As the threads met in the middle of them, Naruto's thread look like it was taking over the other two. As this continued everyone saw that each bubble got bigger and bigger until they all touched and combined together into a big bubble. Suddenly the bubble popped and the team started walking over to the rest of them.

"Whoa! That was so cool!" Kiba exclaimed. "How did you do that?"

"Oh. It's easy. First you gather your chakra and picture yourself inside a bubble. It's a chakra exercise, but is also useful in battle with others." Kaze explained to them.

"How can it be used in a fight?" Shikamaru asked.

"Well Shika, it is useful, but only if you use it with people you you trust. It links the people up and synchronizes their attacks." Naruto explained.

"Why don't we go back to the house and get some rest." Kurenai said getting nods.


As everyone was eating and joking around, Kaze excused himself and left into the forest. Everybody just continued talking. All the while Kiba and Ino kept taking glances at each other and this went unnoticed by all except Naruto and Hinata. Just than Tazuna's grandson yelled about how they were all just waisting their time and they were all going to die.

"So you think it's pointless and that we should just quit?" Naruto said looking at the boy. "Well we have different thoughts on that. There is no way I'm dying anytime soon."

"Shut up! You don't know anything! You don't know the pain we've been through!" He yelled. That struck a nerve with Naruto. Both Hinata and Kurenai looked worriedly at the blond.

"You think we haven't been through painful times. You think that we never had anything bad happen to us." Naruto said as his voice got louder. "You think you're the only one who has had to suffer! Try being hated by your whole village and not know the reason for it! Try having everyone glare at you just for walking down the road! And I'm not the only one who has suffered! So you can have your little pity party, but I'm not planning on dying!" He took a breath than looked at Tsunami. "Thank you for the food, Tsunami-san." He bowed to her than headed for the door and opened it. Before he left he stopped at the entrince of the door. "Hm. Your lucky Kaze didn't hear you say all that." With that he left.


As Naruto got into a clearing he saw Kaze lying on the ground looking at the sky. "So what happend?" Kaze asked looking at the blond.

"Nothing." He then took a seat next to the other boy. "Hey... Kaze..."

"Yeah?"

"What's it like to have a family?" This got Kaze's attention so he sat up right.

"Hmmm. Well at times they can be really annoying and irritating, but caring at other times." He said with a smile on his face.

"Can you describe what each person of a family is like?"

"Sure." He said with a soft smile. "Let's see. Well a mom is someone who is always caring and is nagging ya about everything. She is a person that will always care for you."

"Kinda like Kurenai-sensei, ne?"

"Yeah. Guess your right. A dad is someone who you can always talk to and someone you can turn to when you have a problem."

"That seems like Asuma-sensei, from what Shikamaru and Choji tell me."

"Older siblings are people who always protect their younger siblings, but also pick on them for fun at times. They are people who younger ones can look up to." He said with his smile falling a little.

'Hm. Sounds like you.' Naruto thought with a smile.

"And younger siblings are like... Well like you! Annoying and too excited for their own good!" He than busted out laughing at the blond's face.
