(MY) Serious Ass Kicking


Airryn hates the thought of falling, or being dropped. Of course, she always claims it's a hatred, not a phobia, and tends to tackle people who 'mistake' the two. True, she is very short for being 10 years old being only 4'0 in height in this new world, but she has never had a problem with reaching things. This has formed from the horrible experience of people picking her up to help her, but she has the habit of moving the wrong way, getting her dropped. Yet, despite her fear of being dropped, she loves heights with a passion. Airryn almost groans, her family is so weird!

Humans are born with two basic fears. One of them is the fear of falling and the other is the fear of loud noises. Since both of these are present sense birth, it takes a while for one to overcome them, but it's not impossible. Airryn hates loud noises with a passion, simply because she has high acute hearing, and as for her feel of falling, that's for a later date.


Airryn's vision is clouded over, dim if you will. A distant voice echoes through the unfamiliar room as Airryn brings her arms up to cover her eyes from the blinding sunlight coming in from a small round window in the corner of the room. She doesn't groan, and bites her tongue when a sharp pain shoots through her ribs.

"Oh, I see you're awake." Airryn turns toward the voice, only to find herself staring at a wrinkled on lady who desperately needed her skin ironed. Her chin-length white hair has hints of a coppery tang, showing her hair might have been a brilliant red in her youth. Her eyes are a dull violet blue, but shine with experience, and despite the waves of wrinkles, Airryn can see this women was once very beautiful. Not to mention her stance, with her hands on her hips, it gives her a look that could give a grown adult a heart attack.

"You gave us quite a scare, falling from the sky like that!" The old women quacks, moving her hands from her hips to take the cloths resting on Airryn's forehead. She dips it in water before placing it back. 'What. The. Hell. Falling from the sky?' Airryn's mind goes into over load with the sudden information.

"I- uhh.. I'm sorry..?" Her voice trails off, as if asking the old women name.

"Oh how rude of me!" Her voice is laced with sarcasm, making Airryn narrow her eyes in irritation. "My name is Kazuko Uzusombou from the land of whirl-pools." Airryn's eyes widen a fraction as she stares at the women with bewilderment. Violent Swirl? ….W.T.F

"You some kinda cosplayer?" Airryn asks, then mumbles "I've never herd of someone you're age cosplaying." The old women hits Airryn in the head with a stick, giving a whole new meaning to the "Don't mess with me, I've got a stick!" saying.

"I'll be right back, I must get Tsunade. Stay here!" Airryn sits up quickly, and while ignoring the pain, she stumbles out of the straw bed and trips on the quilt wrapped around her. Tsunade? What the hell! Where am I? What was with that black- MY ICECREAM!"

Now frantic to find her delicious dessert, Airryn stumbles out of the moving room- which is now recognized as a wagon. No wonder she was feeling woozy. She falls face first into the grassy ground and groans.

"Where the hell am I? How did I get here?" A familiar, yet unfamiliar voice echoes through the apparent Wagon caravan. 'Have I been kidnapped?'

"That's what I would like to know!" Airryn finds herself face to face with none other then Tsunade. Tsunade, being in the top 10 of her favorite Naruto characters. Tsunade, being the legendary gambler and sannin. Tsunade, being the 5th Hokage, is standing in front of Airryn in all her Anime glory. Just a bit behind her is Shizune, who is holding Tonton.

"What's your name, twerp?" Her voice is strong, and unwavering with a hint of amusement as she crouches down next to Airryn, who looks to be in state of shock. Tsunade flicks her on the nose, which brings her out of her trance; while at the same time makes her slam her head into the ground.

"Uhh..." Is her intelligent reply. "C-c.. I can't remember..." Airryn mumbles, and winces under Tsunade's suspicious gaze. Airryn remember her name, but she has no reason to use it if she is really in the Naruto universe.

"Then I'll give you a name." Tsunade announces, making Airryn scowl.

"But I have a name." Airryn says, and then regrets it.

"Then tell me!" Tsunade demands.

"No way!" Airryn concludes with crossing her arms she sticking her nose up, which earns a frustrated groan from the sannin.

"Fine then, but where did you- no, what Jutsu did you use to come here?" Airryn stares at her in bewilderment, then blurts out.

"I dunno, I got sucked into a black hole that stole my ice cream. You didn't manage to find it did you? I'm really in the mood for ice cream." Tsunade's mouth twitches in irritation.

"Listen you little brat, you've recently had a double lung transplant-" Airryn gives he a 'no dah' look, "and you shouldn't be moving around!" Airryn waves a dismissing hand. Despite the random aches and that one sharp pain, she feels better then ever.

"Tsk, stupid brat." Tsunade's hands glow a mint green before placing her palm on the girls forehead, making her faint.

"Shizune, take her back to the wagon, I need to speak with Kazuko." Shizune nods and lifts the 10 year old girl up after setting Tonton on the ground.

"Right away Lady Tsunade!" then disappears in a flash.


After about an hour, Kazuko and Tsunade return to the wagon Airryn is resting in. Apparently Kazuko decided it would be entertaining to chat with the person is the very back of the caravan to make Tsunade walk a mile to reach her. Yeah, the Nomad group is fairly large.

"You're positive that mark is that of the Uzumaki-clan?" Kazuko nods with a frown on her waved face.

"Yes. Despite the Uzumaki clan being a rather large clan, only those of the head-household had the Uzumaki swirl placed on them. It's a sort of rank if you will. Kushina had Kyuubi sealed within her at a young age, thus gained the swirl-like seal on her stomach. Her parents had the marking on their shoulder's, much like the Anbu from Konoha have theirs." Tsunade nods, and flops lazily on the wagon floor while Kazuko kneels across from her before continuing.

"Kushina's sister, however, was a different story. Yuki was known for her fierce temper, and stubborn personality. She would often 'blow things up' with her untamed power over the element of 'wind'. At a young age she was sent to Akakage village to train, just before the war took place. Soon after, a creature called Jubi no Kagekaiju was sealed within her. True the Sage separated the 9 beasts from the Jubi, but another creature laid dormant in a mountain that was destroyed during the Great Shinobi War. She was it's host for 5 years, until she suddenly disappeared... She had her seal in between her collarbone, just like this young girl does." Tsunade's mouth is ajar at the information.

"This child is the lost child of the Whirl-pool country? The one Yuki Uzumaki gave birth to at age 17, but then the child was said to of disappeared with it's father? You can't be-"

Airryn shoots out of bed and literally tackles Tsunade to the ground.

"My father disappeared right after my surgery, do you know where he is?" Airryn frowned when Tsunade shakes her head no, but then grins as a sudden thought lights up her airy brain.

"Hey, can you teach me to be a Ninja? You are one of the great Sannin right?" Tsunade stares at the girl for a moment.

"No way!" Tsunade jumps up, sending Airryn to the ground in a very ungraceful manner.

"Come on! I want to get strong! You were talking about some lady-" Kazuko puts in 'Yuki'- "named Yuki that has the same.. Wait I don't have a mark whatsit you talking about?" Tsunade points to the space in between Airryn's collar bones and activates a bit of chakra. Sure enough, a small swirl with 5 kanji appear.

"Whoa wait, this is-" Tsunade interrupts.

"Hmm... It looks as though my old.. friend has messed with your seal." Tsunade grumbles, forms chakra on her finger tips, and slams into Airryn with such force is nearly breaks the wagon floor.

"Don't destroy my wagon Tsunade!" Kazuko barks, but Tsunade just rolls her eyes. Airryn stares at her with mismatched eyes. With her right eye a shade of brown that could be classified as gold, and her left eye being a deep shade of indigo blue, she is only half of the classic Uzumaki look, with red hair and violet-blue eyes.. But the golden eye is a mystery to Tsunade as she looks at the determination set in the stubborn girls face.

"Alright, fine! I'll train you for two years. Only TWO years, you got that?" Airryn releases the breath she didn't know she was holding, and nods enthusiastically.

"YES!" She howls, the frolics out of the moving wagon, only to fall on her face – once again- into the grassy plain. "Oww.." Tsunade 'merrily' slams her head into the wagon wall in defeat. Heh.


Time skip, 6 months.

Airryn POV


I hate reading. No, hate is plain compared to the word I want. Abhorrence? Loath? I don't even think there is a word to describe how much I hate reading. Worst part? It's not even normal reading. No, I'm reading MEDICAL books. For the last 6 months Tsunade has made me memorize everything that has to do with medical information. I've been paying more attention to the flow of Chakra in the body, and the pressure points, then how muscles grow! I'm not going to be a medical ninja! Plus, I already know all of this stuff!

Every day Tsunade beats the crap out of me in as many ways she can, whether it be tying me up and throwing me in a river, or 'feeding' me to a pack of wolves. Yeah, she threw me to a group of wild boars the first day of training. Then she set up survival courses.. which involved huge boulders trying to crush me and dodging darts... that is after she painted a target on my back without me knowing it. Yeah, I fail.

I've helped out with the Caravan quite a bit in the last six months, and have gotten to know the Whirl-pool nomads.. they are all crazy about the element wind. The second month here Tsunade used the Chakra paper test on me, it split in two. Ever since I've switched from one wagon to another to learn about wind-jutsu's and Fūinjutsu sealing techniques.

I've been writing everything I learn down, and practice it late at night when the group stops for the night to sleep. So far we've traveled from the Water country, and now we're in the middle of the desert. I've been playing around with the sand so I can actually see my progress with the wind-based jutsus. My life is hell.


Time skip, 6 more months.


"Again!" Tsunade demands harshly. Airryn climbs out of the tree that once was and throws herself to the ground in irritation.

"Look old hag-" Tsunade roundhouse kicks Airryn in the face, sending her into another tree. She climbs out and exclaims while holding her head; "DUDE! Don't do that again! Oh god I think I lost a screw..." At the moment, Airryn is leaning Chakra control. The thing is, wind is just as bad- if not harder- to control then fire. Fire may be unpredictable, but it's caused by a human source, while wind is free to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants.

Over the last year she's managed to get a firm grip on, well staying still. Not! When she was younger she was diagnosed with ADHD for her inability to stand still no matter what was happening. Even when laying in a hospital bed she always did something, like pretend to squash peoples heads with her index finger and thumb as they passed by her window.

Just last month Tsunade made her sit at the top of a tree, on a board, for a whole hour without moving, and they do this every morning. Sure, she got to read a book while she was doing it, but eventually she started to use Wind jutsu to make the women skirts fly up. They chopped down the tree while she was still up there... At the moment, Airryn is taking a 'break' from that and is instead getting her rear kicked into next week.

According to Tsunade, she goes into a stance where she tends to drop into a position that relaxing her upper-body, as in she tends to tuck her hands away in her pockets when she fights. The only time she does use her hands is to use a Jutsu (even though she's working on a way to direct her Chakra flow without the use of signs) and do certain maneuvers: like handstands, flips or to hit the enemies pressure points.

Airryn charges at Tsunade, who dodges easily. Airryn fights in an unpredictable notion, as if she has no idea what she's doing. Quickly, she lifts her left leg to hook Tsunade's neck with her foot to smash her into the ground. Tsunade grabs her shoulders and flings them both backwards, sending Airryn toward one of the few tree's residing at the Oasis in the middle of the Rock country. The tree is destroyed instantly.

For the last week they have been traveling through the Rock country, and are in the outskirts of Suna.

" Come here for a moment Rhed." Over the year, the group started to call Airryn "Rhed", for she still hasn't giving them her real name, not that she ever plans to.

"Here, close your eyes." Airryn, now known as Rhed, sends a suspicious glance toward Tsunade, who is hiding her hands behind her. Sighing reluctantly, she does as she is told.. only to slam into the ground face first.

Black weights are now wrapped around her calves, forearms, and wrapped all the way around her torso like bandages. Rhed gawks at Tsunade, who smiles an unnaturally kind smile-

"You ever take those off-" Her face turns to that of a demon - "I'll KILL you, got it!" Rhed just nods, and stumbles back to her training spot.

"Alrighty! Lets do it again!" Tsunade bursts with new energy, only to make Rhed groan before being clung into the pool


Time skip, 9 months later


Rhed has only half-way mastered her Chakra control, and the basic jutsus. For the last three months Tsunade has been teaching her how to control and harness the Kijuubi's – as Rhed called it- power. The Chakra formed from Kijuubi is a mixture of gold and white, and Tsunade has taken it upon herself to personally throw Rhed off mountains to gain control over the Chakra, to bad it doesn't work. Each time Rhed is saved by Shizune, who waits at the bottom of the mountain every time. The 100+ weights she wears aid in her decent toward the bottom of said caverns.

Despite having a insane lack of concentration, Rhed has taken it upon herself to create a Jutsu using teleportation jutsu and senbon- her first favorite weapon. This is solely based on Minato of the "Yellow Flash's" Technique. Of course, being distracted by something 'shiny' or having a random "SQUIRELL?" moments, she's managed to prefect her senbon throwing skills.

On a side venture, Rhed tends to learn more about poisonous plants from the Whirlpool clan-members, as well as sealing jutsus. So far she has managed to seal senbon inside bells that reside in her hair, but other then that, her chakra drains at an abnormal rate; despite having an equally abnormal amount. Only three more months..


Time skip, a little under three months.


Despite the bells she wears, she makes no sound as she squats down to perch on the top of a flag-pole sticking out the side of the carriage. Her bangs are still parted in the middle to frame her face, but have grown a few inches past her chin. Her waist length hair now goes just past her butt, and is done is a loose fishtail braid, courteous of Tsunade. After the two years of constant travel, her 'Saffron-gold' hair has turned more 'bloody'; despite being out in the sun so much, her genes are taking their effects.

In three days, Rhed's training will finally be finished. Just yesterday Tsunade introduced Rhed to the 'Mass Multi-shadow clone jutsu', then started to bark at her for training.

"You need a better name then Rhed. This is just ridiculous, everyone here but Shizune and I have red hair!" Rhed gives her a 'so what' face before picking a bright red flower to grasp in her small hands, which was growing in a crevice on the side of the cliff they're resting at for the afternoon.

"Yeah, but Baa-Chan" Tsunade glares at her, " I'll be leaving soon right? So it won't matter. Not that many people have red hair!" Tsunade's arms cross as she gets into her 'if you don't, I'll kill you' stance.

"Fine.. whatever.." Tsunade stares at her for a moment before punching Rhed's clones, making them fall over like dominoes.

"You should have a name that suits you.." She cracks her knuckles and starts a flurry of punches and random jutsus toward Airryn, who barely manages to dodge or even see them coming.

"How about-" Rhed slams into Tsunade with a brilliant smile drawn on her face.

"How about Rynai Sarutobi!" Tsunade sweat drops, picks Rynai up, and slams her into the ground, creating a small crater. Rhed grabs a stick and starts to write Kanji on the ground. "Ryn with a Y instead of an I, devised from Rin (倫) which means companion. Ai as in Indigo with the kanji (藍)! Sarutobi, meaning 'monkey jump', is written with two kanji; saru (猿) is the character for 'monkey', and tobi (飛) is the character for 'jump'. I'm very ironic If I say so myself! Don't you-" Tsunade throws Rynai into a boulder, then claps her hands in a 'done cleaning' fashion.

"Yes yes, now stop babbling! We're leaving tonight; go pack your things into this scroll-" Tsunade hands her a rather large scroll, then grins; "My gambling sense are tingling!" Rynai rolls her eyes and scowls at Tsunade's horrible habit.

"You're just gonna get drunk and keel over on the side of the road!" Tsunade ignores her.. only because it's true.


Time skip

Rynai POV


As we walk down the hallway to the hotel room, I find myself staring intently at Tsunade's bright red suitcase. Ever since we left the nomads, she hasn't let go of it once... I bet there is a bunch of gambling cash in there. Psh, cash she's gonna loose.

Tonton is waddling in front of us at a slow pace, until we come to our hotel room. Tsunade slams the red suitcase on the table and unclasps it. Sure enough, wads of cash is residing withing the case. Shizune screams in confusion;

"Wha-What are you gonna do with all that cash?" I can't help but slam my head into the door; we're gonna be out all night. Tsunade's voice turns deep, almost demonic.

"Take a good look you two! My loosing streak is over!" She crackles madly, "Our luck is about to change!" Oh dear, she's lost her marbles! Now that I think about it, so have I!


Alright.. So should I have made this multiple chapters, like detailing her training sessions, or should I do that after I write the story, like little Omake type of things? :D Review!
