"Talking" 'thinking'

Chapter the Second

The next morning Suiren woke up feeling as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, scanning the room she noticed a set of clothes had been left beside the bed for her, 'tou-san must have got them last night' she thought. Looking through them, she saw a light red and black high-collared top with a red uzu spiral in the centre, the top cut off just above the bellybutton. There was also a light red skirt with black mesh under shorts underneath and a mesh undershirt with a pair of fingerless gloves that had metal plating on the back and a pair of open toed sandals with a pair of greaves for her shins. Getting dressed she hurried upstairs into the kitchen of Tazuna's house where her father was eating breakfast along with Kakashi. "Arigatou gozaimasu otou-san for the clothes," she said catching his eye.

"No problem Suiren-chan" replied Minato smiling at his daughter, "I have other clothes packed in sealing scrolls for you as well, along with other equipment for training." on hearing the words training Suiren looked up from her breakfast and tilted her head to the side as she asked "What kind of training tou-san?" Just as he was about to explain he was interrupted by the arrival of her other two teammates. "I'll tell you later Suiren-chan," nodding Suiren went back to her breakfast while listening to Sakura fawn over Sasuke. Suddenly Sasuke spoke up, "Kakashi-sensei, where's the dobe and who are these two?" Almost immediately Sakura echoed him, "Yeah sensei, where is Naruto-baka? Has he run away?"

"Now now Sakura, you should know better than too belittle your team-mate," Kakashi reprimanded, "and to answer your question Sasuke-kun, this is my old sensei, the Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Minato and his daughter Uzumaki-Namikaze Suiren, who was in disguise as Naruto."

"But you're supposed to be dead!" screeched Sakura, "and what do you mean that Naruto was his daughter in disguise?" She demanded, standing up from the table and pointing at Suiren.

"Evidently Minato-sensei is alive" stated Kakashi dryly, "and please stop pointing Sakura-chan, " embarrassed after making an outburst in front of the famed Yondaime of the Leaf she sat down with pink dusting her cheeks and busied herself with her breakfast, while Sasuke looked on slightly amused with her reaction.

"Suiren-chan," spoke out Minato as he stood up from the table and made his way to the door, " when your ready meet me outside for some training, we have a lot of work to do to get ready before Zabuza and his accomplice return."

"What did he mean Kakashi-sensei," asked Sasuke, "Zabuza is dead right? I mean we saw that Hunter-nin kill him."

"But the hunter used senbon needles Sasuke-kun, and he took the body away as well, usually Hunter-nins decapitate the body and burn it, they only need the head as proof of a kill," said Kakashi calmly.

"What's so Special about senbon though sensei?" Sakura interjected.

"They can be used for acupuncture Sakura-san, coated in a poison to kill or incapacitate or to hit nerve endings to put a body in a death-like state," Suiren said getting up from her seat, "now if you will excuse me Kakashi-sensei, tou-san is waiting for me outside.

"How do you know so much about senbon?" demanded Sakura banging her hand on the table, angered for not knowing more than the "dead-last" of the class.

In answer, just as she was at the door, Suiren flicked her wrist back at Sakura and left the house leaving the other girl with her sleeve pinned to the table with a couple of senbon.

Once she was outside, Suiren went to a clearing near the river to meet her father for training. Once she found him, he unsealed several different scrolls from one big one. "Okay Suiren-chan, here I have scrolls with information on your bloodline, along with some of its jutsus, a pair of taijutsu and kenjutsu scrolls, a weapons scroll, a scroll with some other jutsus and a sheet of chakra paper and a scroll full of books on seals. Those gloves of yours are special as well Suiren," he stated looking at her absorb the information. At her Questioning look, he stated, "channel chakra into the tips of them." Doing so she watched as the tips of the gloves covered of and long wires sprang from the tips of them. "There are special storage seals on them," Minato explained, "and the wires are made of chakra metal so you can control them by channelling chakra through them."

"So tou-sensei, what are we doing first?" She asked with a grin on her face.

"Hmm you can use the shadow clone jutsu right?" he asked slowly, at her nod of ascent he carried on, "well then your clones will read the scroll on your bloodline and practice its jutsus as well as practice some chakra control and reading the sealing books while I am going to teach you some kenjutsu and taijutsu."

"But tou-sensei, how can the shadow clones help?" asked Suiren.

"Shadow clones," began Minato, "were brought to Konoha by your mother from Uzu, they can be used to train because when they dispel, the user learns whatever they know, the only limitations are the amount of chakra they take to create and that they can't be used for physical training."

"I see…. Well then let's get started!" she cheered. Unsealing a pair of kodachis with a red and black diamond patterned hilt on one and a blue and white pattern on the other, the respective sheaths were patterned the same way with a line of the diamond pattern on each side. The blades shone ethereal silver and looked to be almost glowing, beside the swords there were twin long knives with a curved tip and where the hilt meets the blade, a hand guard that is sharpened on the blade edge curves down and out with a pointed tip and a kunai ring at the end of the hilt.

"These blades are Uzumaki forged," said Minato, "though both are unique in their own way, the kodachis," he said as he pointed at them, "can be attached at the hilts to each other and then separated with a chain connecting them to each other or separate blades with the chains attached to your gloves. They can also grow in length to that of a katana. Your other knives, " he continued, " can be called to you no matter where you are and you can channel your chakra through both sets of weapons."

Nodding in understanding as she took in the information about her new weapons Suiren picked up the kodachis and ran blood over the seals, binding them both to her before doing the same to the knives. "Now," spoke up Minato, startling her from her thoughts, "this is the first stance…"

By the time it was evening and the parent/child duo had finished training, Suiren was completely drained of energy. 'Who knew my bloodline was so strong!' she thought to herself as she made her way back to the house, 'I mean to be able to see chakra and the chakra-coils/tenketsus as well as the chakra chain techniques and elemental chakra fusion, the hoyton chakra I can make is pretty cool.'

As she entered the house, she was met with a screech, "where were you today Naruto-baka? You missed all the training with Kakashi-sensei!"

"My name is Suiren, Sakura-san and I was training all day with my tou-san," she ground out glaring at the pink haired girl. "Now please be quiet or I'll pin you to the wall with more senbon."

Before an argument could break out though, Kakashis' voice cut in, "ma ma, lets not argue now girls hmm?"

"Whatever 'ttbane, she's not worth arguing with," grumbled a tired Suiren, "just let me eat and go to sleep, tou-san's a slave driver."

"He is isn't he." agreed Kakashi with an eye-smile and a nod, "he was the same back when I was on his genin squad."

"Mph, talk later," she replied as she ploughed through a plate of Onigiri.

Later that night, as Suiren was sitting on the roof looking at the stars, she heard a voice behind her," they're beautiful aren't they?" Looking behind herself she saw her father watching the sky, "just like a certain daughter of mine," he continued. Blushing she looked away from him and turned her gaze back to the sky. Sitting for a while in a comfortable silence, her father asked, "ryo for your thoughts?"

Sighing, she answered, "just wondering how everyone will react once we get back home."

"I see. Well don't dwell on it too much and get to bed soon, plenty of training to be done tomorrow."

"Yeah I'll get to bed in a minute, goodnight tou-san."

"Goodnight Suiren." He said as he went back inside. Staring at the moon, she decided that she would deal with it when the time came and with a firm resolve, she headed back into the house for the night.
