~Tenshi's POV~
It's been two and an half years since Naruto, Tamotsu, and I left the village to train with Uncle Jiraiya and Auntie Kenmei. We've become stronger in our own ways. And get this, my Taiingan as grown to level two! It's now known as the Beeta-Ban Taiingan. I can still do my old abilities with it, but now three more things with it. It looks a little different but still nice. Naruto and I have grown closer than before now that we've traveled together for these past couple of years. We jumped up to the top of a pole and looked at the view. Naruto spread his arms our and grinned, even I couldn't help but grin with Tamotsu.
"I missed this placed! It hasn't changed one bit!" Naruto shouted. I nodded.
"I know what you mean, If feels great to be home," I told him. Tamotsu howled in excitement.
"I can wait to see everyone…I wonder if I'll find a new chew toy," he told us. I giggled a little bit. Tamotsu has grown a little bit, he's up to my shoulder now.
"Yeah, yeah!" Naruto agreed with us. We then looked at the Hokage summit and saw Grandmothers head carving.
"So they finally added her to the summit, it's about time!" I said to him. He nodded in agreement.
"You've both grown a lot, haven't you, Naruto, Tamotsu, and Tenshi," we heard a voice say. We turned and saw…dad! He waved at us. "Yo," he greeted. I grinned at the sight of him, I jumped over and we hugged.
"Dad/Kakashi-Sensei/Kakashi!" Naruto, Tamotsu, and I exclaimed in happiness. Naruto jumped over to us.
"You haven't changed at all!" Naruto shouted. Dad looked at us.
"Well, you've both changed, especially you, Tenshi, your hair is longer…you don't even look like a kid anymore!" He complained. I couldn't help but giggle.
"That's the point, I'm fifteen now, I can't look like a kid forever," I told him. I could see a hint of sadness in his eyes. I hugged him. "But I'm still your little girl," I told him. He hugged me back and I could tell he was smiling.
"Oh! Hey, wait! Kakashi-Sensei, Tenshi and I have a present for you," Naruto said digging through his pouch. Naruto handed it to him and dad started shaking.
"What?! You…h-how…t-this is…" dad couldn't get the words out and he was shaking with excitement. I couldn't help but laugh, for once my father is speechless.
"This is the latest in the Icha Icha series after three years! It's really boring, but you'll still like it…I think," Naruto told him. I rolled my eyes.
"No doubt about it, Naru," I told him. I then flicked him in the head. "That's for even taking a peek inside it you pervert," I told him. He just gave me a sheepish grin. We met up with Uncle Jiraiya and Auntie Kenmei and started walking around. Naruto pumped his fist into the air.
"Alright, next stop, straight to Ichiraku Ramen!" Naruto declared. I shook my head with a chuckle. But then we spotted a girl with pink hair…oh my god!
"Sakura!" I shouted. She turned and looked at us.
"Naruto? Tenshi?" She grinned. She ran over to us and hugged us both. She pulled away and looked me over. "Tenshi, I almost didn't recognize you, if it weren't for your hair and eyes, I would have thought you were someone else," she told me. I laughed and nodded.
"What about me? Doesn't anyone love the wolf anymore?!" Tamotsu complained. Sakura giggled and kissed Tamotsu's forehead.
"I missed you too, Tamotsu, you've gotten a lot bigger too," she told him. If wolves could blush.
"Well, shucks, I'm glad I have fur…" he told her. He licked her cheek making her giggle a little. Sakura then looked at Naruto and did blushed a little.
"How do I look? Do I look more like a woman now?" She asked him.
"You look fine! You haven't changed at all!" He grinned. I shook my head and flicked him.
"You still don't understand a woman's mind," Uncle Jiraiya and Auntie Kenmei told him. I looked at Sakura and smiled.
"You have grown into a beautiful woman, Sakura. Just ignore this knucklehead," I told her. Naruto's mouth gaped open in disbelief at my joke. I giggled a little with Sakura. She looked at Naruto again.
"You've gotten taller than me and Tenshi!" She exclaimed. He nodded and grinned. She looked at me then at my chest, at hers, then back at mine. "How did you get bigger than me?!" She complained. I giggled a little bit.
"You sleep with a bra on, don't you?" I asked her. She blinked then looked down and sighed. "That's the reason, I don't sleep with one on," I told her. She nodded and smile a little.
"Big bro Naruto!" We heard a boy say. "Sexy Jutsu!" Konohamaru shouted. He then made a perfected naked woman. Oh brother…He then changed back. "How was that?! A real drool of a Jutsu, wasn't it?!" He asked excitedly. Naruto gave out a small chuckle.
"Konohamaru, I'm sorry, but I'm not a kid anymore. From now on, you shouldn't use that Jutsu either," Naruto told him. Is he sick of something?! I looked at Tamotsu and Sakura, they had the same shocked face as I did. "Such a Jutsu is now mediocre, Konohamaru! Behold! The new Perverted Ninjutsu I've been developing! Here we go!" He shouted. I looked down and shook my head…maybe he hasn't changed.
"Perverted Ninjutsu?! You idiot!" Sakura punched Naruto. Hmm, her strength has increased, good. She held Naruto by the collar of his shirt. "I was wrong! You haven't changed one bit! I haven't seen you for two years and within two minutes, you jump straight into that idiot! What about that wonderful feeling of respect I had for you just now?! As if I could feel sad that I wasn't grown up like you!" She shouted at him. I saw Konohamaru hiding behind me and my dad.
"Hey, hey, Sakura, calm down," dad called over to her. She stopped and looked at us.
"Konohamaru's terrified," I told her as I tried to calm him down. When I did I walked up to my three teammates and smiled.
"Well. It's been a while, hasn't it?" Dad asked making us looked at him. "From now on, the four of you will come with me on team-related missions. It's different than before. It's no longer teacher and pupil. Starting today, we're equal Konoha Shinobis," He told us. All our eyes widened. He took out three bells. "Well, first I'm a bit curious as to how you've developed. The rules are the same as when we first met each other. If you don't come at me with the intent to kill, you will never succeed at getting these bells!" He told us. We all smirked and nodded. I stepped up and smirked bigger.
"You're going to wish you didn't ask us to take this test again, you might actually end up killed," I told him. I saw him smirk under his mask.
"Prove it," he told me. Tamotsu gave a wolfish smirk.
"Don't underestimate us, ya perverted freak, we've all grown more than you know," he told him. We all walked to the training ground where we first had the test.
"The rules are the same as before. No matter how, try to get the bells from me. You have until sunrise tomorrow," He told us. We all looked around.
"Well. This place…I've missed it," Naruto said to us. Sakura and I nodded.
"Ah, that's right. This is where you first trained, isn't it?" Dad asked reading his new book.
"Team Seven," Sakura said with a small smile.
"The four man team," Naruto said.
"We all fought as one," I said next.
"That time…Sasuke was around too, wasn't he…" dad said to us. We were all silent until Naruto was banging the ground cursing himself for not bringing Sasuke back, Sakura was holding her knees to her chest, and I was on my knees while holding the necklace Sasuke gave me as Tamotsu laid down whimpering. We heard dad's book close and we looked at him. "Well then, shall we begin?" Dad asked us. We stood up. Naruto tighten his headband with a smirkish grin.
"Hehe, you won't do it while reading a book this time?" Naruto asked. Sakura put on some gloves as I put on white fingerless ones.
"You've already finished it?" She asked him with a smirk.
"Oh please, he just wants to finish later, he knows when I'm not bluffing…and you all heard me back there when I mention we could kill him," I smirked with Tamotsu. Dad nodded and lift his headband up revealing his Sharingan.
"I get the feeling I should take it a little seriously too," He told us. We were all silent until Naruto threw shuriken at him, dad ducked and threw some at him. Naruto jumped into the air summoning a Shadow Clone, Naruto grabbed the Shadow Clone that transformed into a Wind Shuriken, but dad appeared behind him and held him the same way he did when we had our first test. But another Shadow Clone appeared behind dad and held a kunai at his back. "Well, your haste hasn't changed," he told him. Dad then gave an eye closed smile. "Alright, start," he told us. He disappeared and I had a feeling where. I looked at Sakura with a smirk.
"Sakura, how about you show off your new found strength, if I'm right, you're just as strong as me," I told her. She nodded and smirked back. She then punched the ground causing it to crumble ten feet around her. The boys were freaked out as Sakura and I smirked.
"Found you," We both said to dad. He got out of the ground.
"Alright, this time I should do something on my end," he said as I heard the bells jiggle. I know I haven't done anything yet, so I might as well.
"How about a little surprise?" I asked them. I then did hand signs. "Moon style: Lunar Fang Saber!" I shouted. That's right, I upgraded my Jutsu. The sword was now a huge wolf fang, it was bigger than me in height and width. Everyone's eyes widened.
"When did this happen?!" Naruto shouted.
"When Auntie Kenmei and I were training," I told him simply. I then looked at dad and smirked which made him gulp.
"Tenshi, what are you planning to do?" He asked me. I didn't answer instead, I raised my new saber with one hand.
"Moon Scar!" I shouted. I swiped the sword that sent a ray of light at dad which knocked him down with a painful grunt.
"Okay…you proved that you can kill me," he grunted out. I chuckled with Tamotsu.
"I told you not underestimate us," Tamotsu told him. Dad stood up and looked at Tamotsu.
"'Us?'" He asked a little afraid. Tamotsu nodded. He held up a paw.
"Raging Claw!" Tamotsu shouted making his claws glow white, the claws grew a few inches and he swiped his paw at dad making him fall back with another grunt.
"Ouch," He said. He then looked at us. "I think you're really trying to kill me now," he said to us. I shrugged.
"You said to come at you with the intent to kill, we're just listening to your orders," I told him nonchalantly. Hours later, Naruto, Sakura, Tamotsu, and I were sitting by a tree catching our breath as dad was hiding somewhere.
"I already knew it, but he Sharingan really is amazing, and not only that, his seal-making speed…it's too fast for me to follow. If we could somehow stop him from using both hands, we could get the bells," Sakura said to us.
"Yeah, Kakashi-Sensei's unreasonably strong," Naruto said to us.
"He's smarter than Shikamaru, and he has a better sense of smell than Kiba, nothing compared to me and Tenshi of course. He has a better Sharingan than Sasuke, and better Taijutsu than Lee," Tamotsu said. I nodded in agreement.
"But even Kakashi-Sensei has to have a weak point, if we think it over well," Sakura smirked. Naruto, Tamotsu, and I looked at each other. Naruto and Tamotsu snickered as I gave a giggle.
"He has a weak point alright," Naruto said to her.
"R-really?!" She asked us. Naruto and I chuckled.
"Sakura, if you really think back about how Kakashi-Sensei's been until now, you'll understand," he told her.
"Naruto, stop being a know-it-all, what's his weak point?!" She asked impatiently. I looked at Sakura with an evil smirk.
"Sakura, what does he do when he's not looking at us?" I asked her.
"Read his pervy books," she answered. I nodded my head.
"And he said he was waiting till later to finish the current book he's on," I led her on. It then clicked.
"Of course! I can't believe he has a weak point like that," she said to us. "In that case, while we force his hands up, if we're clever, maybe we can be protected from the Sharingan too…if we take that chance…" she trailed off. Naruto, Tamotsu, and I nodded. "Guys, you are really the most unpredictable ninjas I know," she said to us. We then initiated our plan and went to look for dad. We found him and jumped out of the bushes at him.
"Now, Naruto!" Sakura, Tamotsu, and I shouted.
"Let's go, Kakashi!" Naruto shouted catching dad's attention. "The last joke in Icha Icha tactics is that the main character…" Naruto said as dad's eye's widened. Dad covered his ears then realized he could still read his lips and closed his eyes. With that Naruto, Sakura, and I grabbed the bells. He looked at us. Naruto grinned as Sakura smiled holding up a piece sign, while Tamotsu and I smiled. We all held up our bells.
"A ninja should look underneath the underneath, dad," I said to him.
"Right, Sensei?!" Sakura and Naruto asked. He gave out a small chuckle and nodded. The next day we walked around the village.
"Well, you have all become strong, huh? I'm amazed you were actually able to get the bells," dad said to us.
"Heh, maybe I've surpassed you, Kakashi-Sensei," Naruto said to him.
"Haha, but anyway. I'm still young, and recently I've developed a brilliant new Jutsu," dad said. But he was ignored as Naruto looked through his pocket.
"We haven't gone home or to Ichiraku Ramen yet!" Naruto shouted.
"Yeah, I'm a bit hungry after training from yesterday," Sakura said.
"I just hope I can get a lot of meat in my bowl," Tamotsu said to us.
"I haven't eaten since yesterday morning, I'm famished!" I exclaimed.
"Right, it'll be on Kakashi-Sensei," Naruto said to us. We all looked at dad. "Right, Sensei?" Naruto asked. But he bailed on us to list and submit new team formations. Sakura looked at Naruto.
"Looks like it's you who's paying," she said to him. Naruto went to look into his frog wallet. I sighed and closed his wallet making him look at me.
"Forget it, it's my treat," I told him. He grinned and nodded.
"I'll make sure to pay you back for that," he said to me. I nodded. I turned and saw two people who I've missed a lot.
"Shikamaru! Temari!" I shouted. I ran over to them and hugged them. "I've missed you guys so much!" I grinned.
"Who the-?" Shikamaru asked. I pulled back and his and Temari's eyes widened.
"Tenshi?!" They asked. I nodded and they hugged me. I couldn't help but laugh.
"And who do you think this is?" Sakura asked pointing to Naruto.
"Hey, if it isn't Naruto!" Shikamaru exclaimed.
"Shikamaru?!" Naruto exclaimed back.
"Did you guys just come back?" Shikamaru asked us. Naruto and I nodded with Tamotsu.
"Yeah, we got back yesterday, had a little training with my dad though," I told him. Shikamaru nodded. While Naruto, Sakura, Tamotsu, and Shikamaru talked, I walked up to Temari who hugged me again.
"Man, I've missed you," she said to me. I chuckled.
"I've missed you too, 'Mari," I said using her nickname.
"I almost didn't recognize you, you're a woman now…Gaara has missed you a lot," she told me. I frowned and looked down.
"I've missed him too. How is he?" I asked.
"He's doing well, he was a little depressed that you left, but was happy that it was for a good reason," she told me.
"Eh?!" We heard Naruto shout. Turns out everyone but him are Chuunin now. Temari, Kankuro, Shikamaru, and I are Jounin. Naruto was the only Genin. "What about Gaara?" He asked.
"He's the Kazekage now," Temari told him. I was shocked as was Naruto. Tamotsu though…wasn't? I looked at him.
"You knew?" I asked him. He gave a nervous laugh.
"About that, I sent Kouga to watch over him and he kind of told me about Gaara, hehe," he chuckled nervously. I glared at him.
"And you didn't tell me?!" I shouted at him.
"It slipped my mind!" He shouted back.
"How can something like this slip your mind?! It's a huge deal!" I shouted.
"Sorry that I was too busy training with you!" He shouted at me. We had our foreheads against each other and glared.
"Did you two really just have a fight?" Shikamaru asked. We stopped and looked at him.
"We have our sibling banter once and a while, you just never seen it," I told him. He shrugged and nodded. I must say, I was getting a bad feeling, something horrible was going to happen and I have to find out what. Tamotsu looked at me.
"What's up, Tenshi?" He asked me.
"I'm getting a really horrible feeling, something's going to happen," I told him. He nodded.
"I have that feeling too," he told me. What is going on?
