Just to warn you, most of these chapters will be dialogue, since Ichigo can't see things and it makes my life easier too.
I don't mind if you complain, but I warned you.
"Teacher, how many days until we reach Konoha?"
"About three, maybe four."
"That's a long time."
"Well, I'm going to start your training right now; you won't even notice time fly!"
"Really!"
"Yep, first lesson, chakra sensing."
She stopped the young girl, and lightly pushed her so she fell onto her butt. Ichigo herd the woman leaf through her bag.
"Open your hands." Teacher said once she stopped looking. Ichigo did as she was told, and felt two stones being placed in her hand.
"These stones are designed to practice chakra control, but forget that. I'm going to put some of my chakra into the stone. When you feel something about one of the stones change, tell me."
"Okay teacher."
The two fell silent. Ichigo rubbed the stone's smooth surface. All of a sudden the surface of one of the stones started to tingle.
"The one in my right hand."
"Good."
The tingling in Ichigo's right hand stopped.
"Now give me the stones."
"How?"
"Place them in my hand you idiot!"
"But, I can't see your hand."
"Sense my chakra in my hand."
Ichigo stared at the direction of her Sensei's voice. All of a sudden, a small green glow started to shine.
"Green!" Ichigo shouted, jumping a little. "I saw green!"
"Green eh? Well I am a med ninja. Wait, you saw my chakra!"
"I suppose."
"How?"
"I don't know."
"Do you have a blood limit?"
"A what?"
Teacher slapped her face with her hand.
"Never mind. Listen, you can see chakra, which means that you just need to learn to heighten your senses, not heighten your detection skills."
"Which is harder?"
"I have no clue."
Ichigo paused.
"You're a bad teacher." Ichigo muttered.
"Shut up kid."
Ichigo giggled and ran over to where she thought her teacher was, since she had started to emit a dull green light. Ichigo found what she thought to be a leg and hugged it.
"Wow, you found me."
"Yah, did you leak chakra for me to see?"
"Yep, you're pretty smart, for a brat."
The teacher picked up Ichigo and once again placed the child onto her shoulders.
"To train that, I'll leak chakra for you to see, but slowly leak less and less. If we stop in a town on our way to Konoha I'll have you stare and try to see other's chakra too."
"Okay, sounds hard though."
"Hey, you are lucky you can see chakra at all, most people cant."
Ichigo buried her head into her teacher's hair. By its feel Ichigo could tell it was straight and soft.
"What color is your hair?"
"Hmm, oh, it's light brown."
"Is Konoha nice?"
"Yep, I guess. Though it might be a hell hole know that my team mate was named the next Hokage."
"Really?"
"Yah, he has students your age, all a bunch of losers. Though, one of them became a chunnin at age six."
Ichigo smiled and fell asleep in her teacher's hair.
The next few days the two trained as soon as they woke up, to when they went to sleep. Ichigo was indeed made to see her teachers chakra as its intensity dropped through out the day. By the time they reached the point where they were a day from Konoha teacher was hardly admitting any chakra at all.
The sudden change in chakra levels did cause Ichigo's charka sight to rapidly increase. In the middle of the night she once woke to see the brown blob of a squirrel's chakra. She screamed loud enough to wake her teacher, and to cause a few brown chakra birds to fly into the air.
The two stopped at a bath house when they were only a day from Konoha. Ichigo was surprised to see the people shaped Chakra's. There were a few other green chakra forms, but Ichigo could somehow tell which one was her teacher, and which weren't. Though, she did mistake a man for her teacher when she first saw a green chakra and didn't bother to look closer.
The only thing that Ichigo had trouble with was seeing inanimate objects. In the forest she would walk into trees. In towns she walked into walls. It was a surprise her nose wasn't broken, but her butt did hurt.
And so as the two walked into Konoha's gates, Ichigo had to make a lasting impression on the guards on duty that day, and walked straight into one of the big poles holding up the gate.
"Ummmm, are you alright?" One of the guards asked the little girl lying in the dirt.
"She's fine." said a woman who helped said girl up.
"Oh, welcome back to Konoha Yanagi-Sama."
"Thank you; do you know where I can find Arashi?" Teacher, now know to be named Yanagi asked, hoisting Ichigo onto her shoulders.
"I think he's in training field 18."
"Thanks."
Yanagi stared to walk away, Ichigo waved good bye to the two confused feeling blue chakra blobs.
The two continued down the street. Ichigo could tell that not after long they had walked into the center of the village. There were a bunch of chakras, blue ones, green ones, white ones, orange ones, yellow ones. The yellow ones were normal, non shinobi citizens, the blue were normal ninja, while the green were med Nins. But the white and orange colors were new. The voices were so loud, loud enough that Ichigo had to put her fingers in her ears. Yanagi laughed at her student.
"Before we go and bother Arashi, how about some ramen?"
"Ahh is that all you eat teacher."
"Blame Arashi, you eat it a lot when you hang around with him."
"Fine, let's get brain-rot noodles."
"That's the spirit!"
Yanagi started to walk fast, after a while she took a turn and ducked so Ichigo wouldn't hit her head on the door.
"Yanagi-Chan!"
"Oh, hello Arashi, can you not sound like an idiot for two seconds?"
"That's mean Yanagi!"
Ichigo sighed and pulled on her teacher's hair. Yanagi placed her on the ground.
"Sorry Ichigo, we have to eat some where else, the place is full. Why it only has four stools I'll never know."
Arashi looked over at his three students, who he agreed to take to lunch. Then he looked at the little girl.
"Oh Yanagi, I didn't know you had a student, what's your name?"
"I'm Ichigo, and you wouldn't know, since I've only been her student for five days. Who are they?" Ichigo asked, pointing to Kakshi, Obito and Rin, who were now staring at Ichigo.
"I'm Kakshi, this is Rin, and this idiot is Obito."
Yanagi looked at Ichigo. Her face looked confused. Arashi looked confused as well. Ichigo turned to her teacher.
"Umm, who is who? All I see is an orange on the right, a green on the left, and a blue in the middle."
"The orange is Obito; the green is Rin, while the blue is Kakashi."
"Why did you have to tell her, can't she see us?" Kakashi asked, trying not to laugh.
"I can't." Ichigo muttered.
"Nani?" asked Kakashi.
"I'm blind, I can't see you."
Ichigo ran over and buried her face into Yanagi's leg.
"You're teaching a blind girl shinobi ways Yanagi." Arashi asked, eyes wide with disbelief.
"Yes, is that wrong?"
"It's dangerous."
"So? She needs to be a ninja, she promised her father."
"So that's what it's about, you sympathize with her."
"Shut up Arashi, we're going Ichigo."
Yanagi picked up her student and carried her away in a hush, as if she was a sack of potatoes.
"What crawled up his ass and died!" Yanagi yelled at no one.
"Teacher, you're shaking me!"
"He could be more considerate! Do I take a right or left?"
"Where are we going Sensei?"
"To see the Hokage damn it!"
