Chapter 3

( 9 a.m. The next day)

"Where the hell is they? They should have been here an hour ago," grumbles Sakura as she sits on one of the training posts.

"Sorry we're late Sakura. I had to convince these two to get up and away from the memorial stone," Kakashi apologizes as he walks into the training field with Naruto and Tenza following behind.

Sakuras face softens as she sees Naruto and Tenza, "since were all here, what are wee going to do today Kakashi-sensei?"

"Since this is Tenza's first day being part of team seven, we're going to see what he can do. Naruto. Sakura. You two are going to fight Tenza with intent to kill." All three genin look at Kakashi surprised. "Oh, an that means you can use the Sharingan, and Tenza, you can use, whatever your eyes can do."

"Ok Kakashi-sensei. You ready Sakura?" Naruto looks over at Skaura and then to Tenza as his Sharingan begins to spin.

"Ready Naruto," reply's Sakura.

"BEGIN," exclaims Kakashi as he shunshins into a tree.

"Wait, what?" Tenza looks over to Naruto and Sakura as they charge toward him, kunai in hand. "Oh crap." Tenza draws his dual swords and blocks Naruto and Sakura's kunai. He channels chakra into his blades and shoves Naruto and Sakura back. "Ok, you want intent to kill," he takes an offensive stances as his killer intent radiates into the training area, "then you got it." Tenza vanishes in a flash step and in a split second reappears in midair in between Naruto and Sakura. Kicks them both of the the side but follows Sakura as she sails through the air. He uses another flash step to get behind her and kicks her to the ground before pinning her with kunai.

Tenza straightens up and looks at Naruto, "Just you and me now Naruto." Tenza charges

toward Naruto as his wind chakra flows into his blades before he uses a flash flash to get around Naruto's defense and draws his blades down, but they are stopped by Naruto's Kunai. "How the... How did you stop my blades?"

Naruto smirks before pushing Tenza back, "After seeing you use that technique, I used my sharingan to follow your movements. By the way, what was that technique called?"

Tenza smirks back, "Well if your so interested, its called Flash Step, its similar to the shunshin, but twice as fast, and takes less chakra to use, but an immense amount of chakra control is needed. Your eyes need to be able to keep up the the speed as well. Becasue of that the only other people in the village that could even use it are Kakashi, you, and maybe Sakura, if she could train her eyes for it. But back to the matter at hand." Tenza uses a flash step and meets Naruto's Kunai with his dual swords again and again as they read each other movements.

"Ok, thats enough you two," says Kakashi happily as he lets Sakura up. "Very Impresive Tenza, you to Naruto," he says with an eye smile, "I was surprised you could keep up with his movements Naruto, even I was having trouble. But what confused me Tenza, was how you were able to read Naruto's movments as well?"

"I guess since your my friends and team, I can tell you," says Tenza as he sheathes his swords on his back. "You all know how I lost my team and was given these eyes when I lost both of mine?" His team mates nod. "Well, these eyes can follow any movement, similar to the sharingan, but I can't copy it though. And similar to the byakugan, I can see at extremely long distances."

Sakura raises her hand, "what do you mean by that?"

"well, I can see up to a mile to two miles away, like I was only a few feat away."

"Wow," breathe Sakura and Naruto.

"And what about that flash step you used," Naruto asks.

"Well...its actually quite simple really. The whole basis of it is to focus a small layer of chakra below your feet and then you move the chakra while keeping it connected to you as fast as you can and as far as you want it with in one step. Knowing you Kakashi-sensei, you were probably watching me use flash step with your sharingan, am I right."

Kakashi scratches the back of his head, "yea, you caught me on that one."

"Its not really a problem Kakashi-sensei. Since you were watching with your sharingan, you could probably do it right now."

"Probably, but at the moment, I have to meet with the Hokage. Meet me at the bridge tomorrow mourning at 7:00am. Later." With that Kakashi disappears in a shunshin and leaves his three Genin to their own devices.

"Oh well. Hey Naruto, Sakura."

"Yea," Naruto looks back to Tenza.

"What is it," Sakura asks.

"Well is was thinking, That maybe we could keep training for a little while. What do you guys think?"

"I've got nothing better to do, what do you think Naruto?" Sakura looks over to Naruto who has a grin on his face.

"Sure, but on one condition."

Tenza looks at Naruto with a slightly worried look, "and what would that condition be Naruto?"

"You teach us flash step"

Tenza looks away as he thinks about it. "Yea why not. But, first things first," Tenza pulls out two white pieces of paper.

"What are those, Tenza," Naruto and Sakura as simultaneously.

"These are chakra paper." He hands one to Sakura and Naruto. "Just focus your chakra into them, and they will show what element affinity your chakra is."

Naruto and Sakura look at the pieces of paper and begin to focus chakra into them. Both of their pieces split in half.

Sakura looks at the two pieces of paper in her hand. "They split in half, what does that mean?" She looks up at Tenza who has a large smile on his face.

"Oh, this is too perfect. Now that we know that Naruto can use both wind and fire, and you can use wind, this makes it a whole lot easier to teach you guys flash step. Plus, I have an idea for a combination jutsu. Here's my idea..."

For the next seven hours Tenza teaches Naruto and Sakura flash step. After Naruto and Sakura have the basics down, Tenza teaces Sakura a wind style jutsu and Naruto one of the very few fire style jutsu he knows.

"That about wraps it up. I expected Naruto to pick up on these jutsus because of his sharingan, but your a natural at the flash step, and your both excellent at wind style. But Naruto, your also a natural at fire style to. Its a little confusing but it makes things better for are combination jutsu. That should be good for today."

"Wait till Kakashi-sensei sees what we can do now. CHA!" Sakura pumps her fist in the air.

Naruto smiles and thinks to himself, "With these jutsus, hopefully I'll have a better chance of not losing another teammate and friend."

"I have to go guys. See you in the morning." Tenza turns around and vanishes in a flash step.

He continues to flash step to the graveyard and stops in front of two with the name Hisan Akuma no Hone and the other Aki Akuma no Hone. "Hey guys. I just wanted to stop by before I get ready to meet Ino. I wish you guys were still here, along with Haseo-sensei. I really miss you guys. Especially you Aki." He looks up at the sun, "it looks like its about time I get ready. Ill try and stop by again in a few days. Later guys."

(7:00 pm)

Tenza stands before one Inoichi Yamanaka with a slightly scared look on his face. "G...good evening, M...Mr. Yamanaka. I...is Ino ready?"

Inoichi Looks at Tenza with a stern look before smiling. "A healthy amount of fear. That's good. She should be down in a few minutes."

"Hey Tenza."

"Speak of the devil." Inoichi chuckles as he steps to the side for Tenza.

Tenza looks up at Ino as she walks down the stairs in a dark purple dress with a slit on the side for her leg with her hair done up the same way she always has it. "Wow," Tenza breathes out.

Ino giggles as she sees Tenzas jaw drop. "I take it you like what I'm wearing Tenza?"

Tenza nod, seeing as he forgot how to use his voice.

"You guys better get going so you aren't late." Inoichi says as Tenza shakes his head.

Tenza sticks his arm out, "You ready to Ino?"

Ino nods her head as she slips her arm though Tenzas, "ready when you are."

"Remember, be back by 9:30," Inoichi says as they walk out the door.

"Right dad. See you later," Ino calls over shoulder.

(1 ½ hours later)

"mmm, that was good," sighs Ino as she walks next to Tenza as they walk through the park.

Tenza looks over at Ino and smiles, "I'm glad you likeed it. They were the only restaurant that let me in, other than Ichiraku's."

"Ino looks back at Tenza with a small frown, "I still don't get why the villagers are afraid of you."

"Its the eyes. I don't get it myself, but I think its because most people are afraid of what they don't understand?"

"Yea, but it still isn't right though." Ino pulls him closer as the continue to walk. "Its a nice night out to night, isn't it Tenza?"

Tenza looks at Ino and smiles agaian, "Yea, it does look nice doesn't it. But, then again, it doesn't hold candle to you."

Ino blushes at Tenzas comment, "Th...thanks Tenza." Ino stops in the middle of the Park with her head down"

Tenza turns around and walks back to Ino, "Ino, is there something wro..." Tenza is silenced by Ino's lips as the collide with his own. Tenza just stairs at her for a moment before kissing back. Ino wraps her arms around Tenzas neck while he wraps his arms around her waist, pulling each other closer and deeper into the kiss. They hold this position for a few minutes before they need to breathe. "I take it that this means there's going to be a second date?"

Ino giggles before kissing Tenza again.
