DarkLvmj: "Woot! One review and a favorite and story alert!" Is freaking happy.

Lvmj: Just glad she's happy now.

DarkLvmj: "Alright my fellow readers! Read on please! And if I make a mistake, tell me!"

Chapter Three: Teme! Dobe! Training!

The following day, both boys were outside in the early morning.

"Alright Naruto, we will first off start with the basic stretching we learned in the academy."

Leg stretches, arm stretches, they did it all. Naruto was grinning, never having done this with somebody before. Normally, at the Academy, he would be forced to the side instead of in a group.

He felt happy, the first time in a long time.

"Alright Naruto, last night I devised a training course for you," Sasuke said, grinning slightly at what was to come. "Get over here."

Naruto hopped right over to the sound of his voice. Sasuke was mildly impressed that he pin pointed him already.

"Now, stand here and wait for it." Naruto gave him a confused look before shrugging.

"Alright." Sasuke smirked and climbed up a tree where a rope and a large futon was laying down on a limb of the tree. The futon had been rolled up and been weighted down.

"Ready?" Sasuke called out to him.

"Let's do this!" Naruto cried out, throwing up a fist in the air.

Just in time to get smacked right in the face by the futon. Naruto flew back and rolled, hitting Sasuke's house.

Sasuke laughed, hard and loud, as he took a firm grip on the tree to not fall off.

"Oh man, haven't laughed that hard in weeks!" he said, calming down to see an enraged Naruto stomping towards him.

"Teme! What the hell was that?! I thought this was training? Not hit the blind kid with a God damn thing!" Naruto yelled out, stomping his feet.

"Ha...sorry...pfft," Sasuke smothered his next laugh with his hand as he brought back the futon up.

"Well?" Naruto said, wanting an explanation.

"Fine, dobe," he snickered when Naruto flipped him off in his general direction. "The reason I am tossing you this God damn thing is to get you aware of moving objects."

Naruto moved his lips in an 'oh' shape as he nodded, his hand underneath his chin in understanding.

"Well let's get a move on Teme! Chunk that damn thing as fast as you ca-." Naruto was once again sent back. "I wasn't ready damn it!"

------Another place-------

Hatake Kakashi, a little tipsy after Gai challenged him to a drinking competition last night at the poker gathering, which he won just in time to see Gai pass out along with him afterwards, was standing in front of the Sandamine Hokage.

"Kakashi, I want an explanation on why you didn't want a team to track down the killer?" Saurutobi Hiruzun said, his elderly hands folded in front of his face as he glared at Kakashi.

Kakashi shuddered at the killing intent that formed around him. "Well, you see, Lord Hokage, the reason that I called off the team was because I only know one person who can perform a Katon Justu at a young age. As for the person who was attacked before hand, I know their scent of blood anywhere."

Saurutobi frowned at that. "It was Naruto-kun's blood, wasn't it?" Kakashi nodded as Saurutobi let out a sigh and rubbed his forehead. "Do you know who the Katon user was?"

"I believe it was Uchiha Sasuke, sir," Kakashi said, calming down now that the Hokage stopped the wave of killing intent at him.

"I see...I guess any child would become scared and not report at what he had done. Go check up on them, Kakashi."

"Hai!" Kakashi immediately disappeared, via window.

-----Backyard of Sasuke's house-----

"You are sadistic, Teme Sasuke," Naruto said while on his back. Sasuke was sitting right next to him, eating a rice ball.

"I have to be, Dobe Naruto," Sasuke said as he finished off the rice ball before reaching back to a plate behind them, getting another. "You should eat."

Naruto groaned and sat up. His hand went directly over to the plate and scooped up a rice ball. The act didn't go unnoticed by Sasuke.

'He's getting better.'

"I can honestly say you suck at dodging," Sasuke said, smirking at Naruto's reaction to what he said.

Naruto sputtered out a bit of his rice ball and growled at Sasuke. "Oi! I have gotten better! That last one barely clipped my head!"

"Which sent you flipping backwards about three times." Sasuke deflated Naruto's reserve.

"Fine....we will just train harder!" Naruto sent a fist in the air.

This was the scene that Kakashi arrived to see from his point along the rooftop of the house.

"Training?" Kakashi questioned as he settled himself down in a more comfortable spot.

"Come on Teme! Let's get started again!" Naruto said, jumping to his feet before Sasuke reached over and dragged him down.

"No. This time we relax and meditate," Sasuke said, crossing his legs and sitting up straight. "Cross your legs and keep your back straight.

Naruto frowned and scratched his head as he did what Sasuke asked. "Meditate? How's that going to help?"

Sasuke sighed as he slightly slumped. "Meditating increases your awareness. Think about it, you can sense anything from miles away if you meditated constantly and keep up your awareness."

"Ooh! That's so cool! Where did you lean this from?"

"A movie," was Sasuke's response.

That sent Kakashi, who was overhearing this, and Naruto slapping their heads.

Sasuke frowned as he closed his eyes. "Just do it."

Kakashi sighed from his spot. "Naruto, meditating?" He had known about the young jinchuriki and his.....how can he put it? Unparalleled hyperness? Yeah, that's about right. "This is going to take a while.

---Two hours later---

Naruto was frowning. His back was hurting, his legs are long since been numb, and he was hungry again. Plus, his clothes were starting to stink.

"Remember to block out any thoughts," Sasuke had said to him an hour ago. Naruto didn't think much of it till now. He had been thinking a lot.

This time, Naruto pushed aside all thoughts and concentrated on the area around him.

Slowly, yet very noticeably, Naruto began to 'see' patterns of some kind. He could make out the trees, the grass, but buildings were fuzzy, although there is a blob of some kind on the roof of Sasuke's house. He then noticed they were hazy, glowing slightly.

"Oi, Sasuke, I think I can sense something. What is it called? Catra?" Naruto asked.

"Chakra. The life force for us and everything else," Sasuke said rather monotone.

"Oh...okay." Naruto then turned his gaze directly to Sasuke's house. "If that's so, I think someone's on your roof."

Sasuke immediately bolted up, a training kunai in hand as he face his home. Kakashi in the meantime was rather shocked that not only Naruto got meditating down, some of it at least, he also spotted him.

Kakashi eye smiled as he hopped down, a few feet away from both boys.

"Hello Naruto, Sasuke," Kakashi said as Naruto stood up.

Naruto acted like to peer at him, leaning forward a little. He knew that voice, though it seemed clearer now instead of....muffled.

"Inu?" Naruto questioned as Sasuke shot a look of confusion at Naruto.

"Maa, maa, Naruto, your just like Tenzo. I haven't been called that in ages. It's Hatake Kakashi now."

DarkLvmj: "Kakashi's on the scene now! What will happen? Will Naruto get beemed in the head once more? Will-."

Lvmj: "Will she ever shut up?" Snickering.

DarkLvmj: Shooting Lvmj a dark look. "You know, I still haven't know what your name stands for."

Lvmj: "Nor will you ever."

DarkLvmj: smiles mischieviously. "Oh, I will....muahahaha!" Clears throat. "Anyway, tell me what you think! If I misspelled words, help me!"
