Well this is Chapter 3. I don't know if it'll be as good as the other chapters because those I had extensively planned. This not so much.


Welcome To Hell

The next morning dawned bright and too early for Naruko. Looking at her blaring alarm clock with a remarkable amount of killing intent she reached out and threw the accursed thing out the window. She then laid back down with a contented sigh. She was just about to fall back asleep when someone banged on her door. She ignored it hoping that they would just go away, but to her dismay it kept going.

She grumbled and stood up yelling "I'm coming already!" she stumbled through the maze that was her room falling once. Muttering a few curses she finally reached the door and opened yelling "What do you want?!"

She was greeted by a glaring Sasuke, with a rather large bump on his head, holding an alarm clock. His glare turned to surprise when he recognized Naruko. It took him a second because she was dressed far differently from her usual look. Instead of the trademark orange jumpsuit she was simply wearing an over-large black shirt that had an orange spiral in front and was hanging off one shoulder. Her normal pigtails were gone too and her hair was messy with bits of it standing up in odd areas.

"Well? What do you want Bastard?" Naruko asked stretching. As she did so her shirt lifted up to reveal toad-print panties. Sasuke got a small nosebleed that he hastily wiped away while she was yawning. "Aren't you a little old for something like that?" Sasuke asked unable to stop himself.

Naruko looked down and realized what he talking about and reacted instinctively, "ERO-UCHIHA!" and slapped him five feet to the left.

After Sasuke regained consciousness and Naruko had made herself more presentable they continued where they left off. "So what did you need so badly that you felt the need to wake me up? Was it that realized how madly in love you are with me and you couldn't wait to let me know?" Naruko asked sarcastically.

Sasuke blushed ever so slightly and responded, "You wish dobe. No, Sakura and I agreed to meet here today so that we could talk to you."

Naruko started getting nervous. "Please, please tell me that they don't want to talk about what happened yesterday." She thought frantically. "Yeah what about?" She asked defensively.

Sasuke glared at her tone but answered, "We came to an agreement yesterday about something regarding you being on our team."

"Well what is it already!?" Naruko shouted finally loosing her already limited patience.

"If you're going to be on the team you're going to have to lose the jumpsuit. It's an eyesore." Sasuke said bluntly.

There were a few seconds of silence where Naruko could only gape like a fish. "NEVER!" she shouted while jumping away from him.

"Why not? It's bright orange and attracts enemy attention, you should be glad to get rid of it." Sasuke pointed out.

"Because I don't want to!" she shouted back making a lunge for the door but ran into a wall where the door was supposed to be.

"Sakura's got a genjutsu on your door. You're not getting out of here until you agree to change your outfit." Sasuke told her with a smirk thinking that they had her cornered. The problem with this plan was that people always fight harder when they are cornered.

"NEVER!" Naruko shouted again, jumping through the closed window shattering it, and leaving behind Sasuke with his mouth open in disbelief. Sakura walked into the room, after removing the genjutsu, with a similar expression.

"That's a bit of overkill don't you think?" Sakura asked incredulously.

"No kidding, but how are we going to catch her now?" Sasuke asked. "I heard she's able to avoid most ANBU when she really doesn't want them to find her."

Sakura shifted nervously at his words which Sasuke noticed. "What are you thinking?" he asked suspiciously.

Sakura shook her head keeping her lips tightly shut. Sasuke was starting to get irritated with her…again. "If you know how to catch the Orange Wonder tell me so we can get this over with." Sasuke growled.

Sakura scratched her cheek embarrassed, "Well the girls in our age group have a highly advanced information and tracking system in Konoha…" Sakura mumbled.

Sasuke's eye twitched, "What was it made to track?" he asked already guessing the answer.

"If anyone asks who told you about this it wasn't me got it" Sakura said her cheeks red. Sasuke nodded and Sakura muttered "You."

"Son of a bitch! THAT"S how they always were able to stalk me no matter where I went! I definitely have put a stop to this horrible organization!" Sasuke thought furiously. "So how are you going to convince the rabid fan-girls to find a girl instead of me?" he asked darkly.

At this Sakura became even more nervous and started twiddling her thumbs. "Yeah about that…I won't be able to." she told him

Sasuke's eye twitched again. "Then what was the point of bringing it up?" his said his voice starting to get louder.

"I said I can't…but you might be able to convince them." Sakura said really fast as though if she said it faster it would be less horrible to hear.

"Not happening." Sasuke deadpanned and turned around intending to leave

Sakura seemed close to desperation, "Think about it Sasuke-kun. Would you rather look at that blindingly orange jumpsuit for who knows however many months?"

Sasuke stopped dead in his tracks. He quickly started measuring the pros and cons. "On one hand I acknowledge the network of fan-girls as a legitimate group and on the other I deal with that stupid jumpsuit…crap." Sasuke thought gradually depressing himself.

"Fine I'll do it." Sasuke growled

Sakura squealed a little. She was finally getting to help Sasuke-kun with something, and that did not happen very often as he was extremely independent. "Okay the first thing we have to do is find Ino." she said enthusiastically.

Sasuke groaned and asked, "And why do we have to find that harpy?" Normally Sasuke would have applied the term to Sakura too, but now that he had seen she had enough of a backbone to stand up to him and call him an idiot she had been elevated to "that annoying girl" status.

Sakura blinked confusedly at him. "You're kidding right? You do know that she is the villages most notorious gossip don't you? Anything she hears is made public knowledge in less than an hour." she told him as though he were a little slow.

Sasuke flushed angrily and said "Whatever just get on with it."


An hour later Sasuke's eye was twitching yet again. In front of him stood a large group of girls. "How many of you are there?" he asked incredulously.

"Well at the last count; ninety-six, the number that's here: eighty. That is nearly our entire age group. The remaining fifty is split between a genin a year older than us called Hyuuga Neji and those with no affiliations. And that is about a thirty-twenty split. Neji's group is led by a girl named Tenten and are considered a much more conservative group than ours. The second group has notable members such as Naruko and Hinata who just seem to want to be left alone." Sakura answered him lengthily.

"This is crazy, but not that important. How long will it take them to find Naruko? I don't want to spend all day doing this. Remember Kakashi will be there around eleven if we figured him out properly." Sasuke reminded her.

"Right!" Sakura said and then turned to address the crowd. She suddenly changed her demeanor and for a second Sasuke imagined Sakura as a general giving orders to her troops. "All right you lot here is the situation: Uzumaki Naruko is on mine and Sasuke-kun's genin team-" she was interrupted by a groan, "QUIET! I know you don't like it but deal with it. Anyway Sasuke-kun does not want to have to look at that annoying jumpsuit for who knows how long and told her to change it." Sakura stopped as a round of applause started. NO ONE liked looking at that stupid thing. It was an insult to girls everywhere. "Yeah, I know I felt the same way. However Naruko made a break for it and jumped out her window." a pause for another loud groan, "That's why Sasuke-kun is here to personally request your help." Sakura finished grandly moving aside so that they could see Sasuke.

A deafening squeal greeted him as he took a step forward. With ringing ears Sasuke muttered, "Just find her so that we can get her out of that stupid jumpsuit."

"HAI SASUKE-SAMA!" they shouted in unison.

"Alright, Alpha Squad take the south. Beta you take west. Gamma north. Sigma east. Omega activate the sleeper cells. You have your mission go." Sakura said dismissing them with a wave of her arm eerily similar to how the Hokage does, and they all disappeared even the girls that weren't ninjas.

"How come they call me Sasuke-sama and you call me Sasuke-kun?" he asked with some trepidation.

She blinked and said, "My rank is higher than theirs."

"Scratch that like a general crap. She is a general!" Sasuke thought with a sweat drop.


Naruko looked around from on top of the building she was on. "Hmph, I wouldn't of expected Bastard to give up this quickly. It's only been what, an hour?" Naruko thought dejectedly.

All of a sudden she heard the sound of fast movement and then she saw three girls land on the building. They all were looking a little tired from their exertion which showed Naruko they weren't fully trained but had probably gone through the academy for a little while.

"The hell? What do you three want?" Naruko asked confused. It was not normal for anyone her age or hell anyone for that matter to come up to talk to her.

"Sakura-taichou sent us to find you, Uzumaki." said the one in the middle. "Sasuke-sama wants to speak with you." the one on the left added. "They told us you refused to comply with Sasuke-sama's wish to get rid of the jumpsuit." the last one finished.

Naruko's eyes narrowed in anger. "So Bastard decided that he was too good to look for me and let his fan-girls do it for him instead. Fine if he wants to play dirty, I can play dirty." she said dramatically. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruko shouted but she wasn't done. Her clone shouted, "Oiroke no Jutsu: Sasuke-teme Version!" and a puff of smoke later a nearly nude Sasuke was looking all dark and broody. The Henged clone grunted and turned away. All three of the girls, whose thought processing abilities immediately flew out the window, squealed and started chasing after the clone who had started running through the streets.

"Poor deluded fan-girls. So easy to manipulate…" Naruko thought with a slightly manic gleam in her eyes. Walking away from what was swiftly becoming a very pathetic scene Naruko jumped from building to building to get away. Unfortunately for her ten more fan-girls showed up and surrounded her.

"How many of you are there?" Naruko asked exasperatedly. She was starting to get tired of the fan-girls already and more importantly she was starting to get hungry. Maybe when she could get away she could get ramen. Hmm, delicious ramen…

"Escape is impossible Uzumaki, there are way more of us then there are of you." one said (poor naïve girl). Naruko scoffed, if she could fool and escape from ANBU what chance did these pathetic fan-girls have?

"I'm never out-numbered, dattebayo! Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" and ten clones materialized each holding their hands in a seal. "Harem no Jutsu: Sasuke-teme Version!" the clones shouted each falling under the influence of the Oiroke no Jutsu. The effect was immediate, with half of the girls passing out from nosebleeds and the rest squealing in fan-girlish delight. Nodding in satisfaction at the results Naruko turned away to escape again. Once more she confronted by fan-girls after going only a few buildings away.

Naruko sighed in exasperation, "Today's going to be a long day…"


Meanwhile Sasuke and Sakura were heading to the academy. They had just left the fan-girl army when Sasuke remembered an important fact. Every time that Naruko did something particularly stupid especially during class time Iruka was always able to drag her back. They found Iruka in their old classroom packing away the things in his desk.

"Iruka-sensei what are you doing?" Sakura asked momentarily forgetting why they had come to see him.

Iruka looked up from his desk and smiled broadly, "Oh, Sasuke and Sakura it's nice to see you passed Kakashi's test. I'm going to be helping the Hokage assign missions. I've got to say I didn't expect to see you guys again so soon. Is there anything I can help you with?" he asked looking between the two.

"Actually there is something with Naruko-" Sakura started but Iruka interrupted with a loud sigh and asked. "What did she do this time? Paint? Itching powder?"

"No nothing like that. It's more like what we need her to do. Earlier we went by Naruko's apartment and tried to convince her to get rid of her jumpsuit, but she ran away. We've got a new plan laid out but first we need you to tell us where her favorite ramen stand is." Sakura told him.

Iruka brought his hand to his chin looking thoughtful, "I guess I can tell you but first I have a question that I'd like you to answer."

"What is it?" Sasuke asked impatiently.

"What do you think Naruko's jumpsuit means to her?" Iruka asked in return.

"What do you mean 'what does it mean to her'? She just has an unhealthy obsession with orange." Sasuke answered simply.

Iruka shook his head, "You don't understand what I'm asking. I'm asking why she wears such a bright and eye-grabbing color." he told them. When both of them stared blankly back at him he sighed and started to explain, "Naruko has always been alone and ignored. As an orphan she's had no parents to love her and until she met Hinata she had had no friends in her life either. So she has always tried to get attention by any means necessary like pulling all of those pranks she's now famous for. That jumpsuit of hers is another way to get attention. She probably doesn't even realize how much she loves the fact that you guys are chasing after her just to get her to change her clothes. It's a game of tag and hide and seek that she never got to play when she was younger." Iruka informed them in detail.

Both the genin of Team Seven looked at him in surprise. They both had been thinking that she was just being stubborn. Neither of them had bothered to think why Naruko had been acting the way she had.

Iruka looked at Sasuke with an odd gleam in his eye. "Plus, I think she likes being chased."

Sasuke looked at him perplexed. He had no idea what Iruka was talking about. Sakura on the other hand blushed and said to Iruka, "NO WAY is that going to happen! Not on my watch!" she huffed and grabbed Sasuke's arm and dragged him away. Sasuke had been too surprised to put up any sort of resistance and by the time he tried Sakura's grip was too tight to break.

As they were leaving Iruka chuckled and said "Naruko's favorite ramen stand is Ichiraku's. She'd eat there every meal of the day if she had any choice in the matter. Even if she was being chased by ANBU she'll be there for her next meal."


"I officially hate all fan-girls." Naruko thought viciously. For the past hour she had been dodging fan-girls with combinations of traps, the Oiroke no Jutsu, and Kage Bunshins. It was nine o'clock and she still hadn't had her morning ramen and it was all Sasuke-teme's fault.

She walked into Ichiraku's and called out, "Morning Jiji, Ayame-nee-chan! I'm here for the Naruko Breakfast Special." when no one answered her back she looked around. It was odd that they weren't there waiting to welcome in customers. Her fears that something had happened to them were put to rest as they both came out of the back.

"Morning Naruko-chan! You're a little late today aren't you?" Teuchi asked in just a little too happy of a voice.

"Yeah I've been dodging Sasuke-teme's fan-girls for the past hour, dattebayo!" she said irritably.

"Sasuke? As in Uchiha Sasuke?" Ayame asked tilting her head in confusion. When Naruko nodded Ayame smiled slyly and asked "What did you do to get on their bad side? Did you make a move on Sasuke or something?"

Naruko stared at her blankly trying to comprehend what Ayame had just asked. When her brain finally started functioning again she spluttered and shouted, "NEVER! I WOULD SOONER GIVE UP RAMEN THEN DATE HIM!" Teuchi gasped in fear, he didn't want to even think about a world where Naruko didn't eat ramen.

Naruko panted angrily. She had never been so insulted! "Why would anybody like him? He's completely arrogant, perverted, narcissistic, talented, cool, good-looking. Wait what was I thinking about again?" she thought.

"Aww, look who's blushing!" Ayame cooed happily.

Naruko spluttered and blushed even harder. "NEE-CHAN! Stop it! I don't like him at all! Jiji one miso ramen!" Naruko shouted to distract Ayame from making up a relationship where there obviously wasn't one.

Teuchi however was already placing the bowl on the counter. "Here you go Naruko-chan this one's on the house." Naruko stared suspiciously at the ramen for the moment before Teuchi said "It sounds like you've had a rough morning and you could use it." Naruko's face immediately changed to one of immense happiness, "Thanks a bunch Jiji, dattebayo! Itadakimasu!" and broke apart her chopsticks. She, for lack of a better term, inhaled the ramen at speeds that shouldn't be achievable by human beings.

Suddenly she dropped her chop sticks. She looked at them then at her hand. "Jiji there's something wrong with my hand. It won't hold the chopsticks and it feels fuzzy."

"Don't worry Naruko that means its working." she heard a voice say. She jumped up to run but the numbness had reached her legs by this point so all she could do was fall to the ground. She looked around to see Sakura entering the stand. She felt a slight pang of disappointment that it wasn't Sasuke that found her. After all what was the point of antagonizing him if he couldn't at least chase her?

"Where's Bastard? I would've expected to see him come by to gloat." Naruko said her tongue starting to feel fuzzy. Sakura just pulled her up and put Naruko's arm over her shoulder to support her dead weight.

"Sasuke-kun? He's off doing something…" Sakura answered vaguely.

Naruko's eye twitched. "Would you mind explaining to me what you did?! Still can't feel my body over here!" Naruko said hotly.

"Oh that. I drugged you." Sakura said without a hint of remorse.

"WHAT?!" Naruko shouted. She was almost foaming at the mouth as she asked, "How did you do that?! You aren't good enough at stealth to sneak up on me, dattebayo!"

Sakura tilted her head to the side and responded, "I know that's why I asked them to do it." she said nodding her head at Teuchi and Ayame.

Naruko looked at them with hurt and betrayal in her eyes and they both fidgeted around guiltily. "It's for the best Naruko. We don't want to risk you getting hurt just because you stood out more than the others. When we heard what they were doing how could we refuse to help knowing that it will help keep you a little bit safer?" Ayame said with tears welling up in her eyes.

Naruko turned her head away and said loudly, "I guess there's no helping it. I might as well just go along with whatever this crazy pink head has to say." In a quieter voice she added, "Thanks…you know…for worrying and stuff…"

As Sakura carried her away Naruko turned and informed her, "I don't care what you say I'm not getting rid of all the orange."

"Hai, hai. Don't get your panties in a twist." Sakura responded. They had started to get a lot of curious looks from the passers-by. Sakura also noted the looks of anger and hatred that were thrown at Naruko. They weren't the sort of looks a person got from pulling one too many pranks, it was the look a person would give to a murderer that had killed someone in their family. Sakura noticed that Naruko was flinching every so often when a particularly harsh glare was sent her way. Instinctively Sakura tightened her grip on Naruko because she felt that if she left Naruko the way she was, drugged and unable to move, they might kill her. Sakura made her way to the nearest store in her shinobi instincts screaming at her to get out of the open.

"Not here." Naruko told her.

"Why not? Some of the people outside are looking close to murderous." Sakura said almost frantically.

"They won't let me in here." Naruko responded in a way that made it clear she wasn't going to elaborate on the subject. Grunting while repositioning Naruko, Sakura went back into the streets. They went past four more shops before finding one that Naruko could go into.

Sakura set Naruko into a changing room and said "I'd tell you not to move but at this point I don't think I'll need to." Naruko growled at her in response so Sakura said hurriedly "I'll be back with something for you to change into."

When Sakura went to get an outfit for her Naruko sat there for a second before stretching and rubbing her arms to get the feeling back in them. She had been starting to get feeling back for a while now, since around the second shop they passed.

Sakura returned with some clothes to see Naruko in the middle of a few stretches. She jumped in surprise, "How are you moving? The drug shouldn't have been through your system for another two hours at least."

Naruko tilted her head confused, "Are you sure? I started getting feeling back a couple of shops ago."

"That's not pos-Wait what?! You mean you could walk but you had me carry you instead?" Sakura asked a vein bulging in her forehead.

Naruko stuck her tongue out at her and said, "That's the least you could do for drugging me in the first place."

Sakura smacked her in the head, "Baka there was no other way to get you to stay still long enough!"

Naruko's eyes welled up with fake tears, "You're so mean Sakura-chan…"

Sakura harrumphed not buying the act in the slightest, "Well whatever, I want you to put this outfit on."

"No not enough orange." Naruko said pouting.

This went on for another two hours until they left the shop with Sakura carrying a bag that had Naruko's old jumpsuit in it. Naruko was now wearing black pants, and a jacket that was orange on the upper part of and on the arms and in a stripe down the middle with the rest of it black. There was also black spirals on both shoulders and another black spiral on the orange in the back (Think the reverse of Naruto's Shippuden outfit).

They walked towards their training grounds with Naruko smiling brightly. This had been the first time she had gone shopping with a friend. She had never gone with Hinata even though Hinata had offered to sneak away to go with her. Naruko had refused because her father would have crucified the poor girl. Hinata simply had enough problems without Naruko making it worse.

"Thanks for going with me Sakura-chan! I had a lot of fun." Naruko said enthusiastically.

"It was nothing Naruko, if anybody should be grateful it's me. I'm really glad you're not holding it against me for drugging you." Sakura responded sheepishly.

"Nah, you were doing what you thought was-" she started to say but was interrupted as somebody bumped into her hard enough to knock her down. The man kept walking apparently not caring what he had done.

"Hey come back here and apologize to her!" Sakura shouted at him as she helped Naruko up.

The man turned around and looked at Naruko hatefully, "Who are talking about? I don't see anybody that needs apologizing to."

Naruko flinched and Sakura growled at the man and opened her mouth to rip him apart verbally when she felt a hand on her arm holding her back, "Sakura just stop. I'm used to- I mean it's not worth it." Naruko said with a pleading look in her eyes. Sakura snarled and turned around storming away with Naruko not far behind.

"How can you just ignore guys like that? I thought you were a girl that stood up for yourself." Sakura ranted, while Inner Sakura was maintaining the position, "Shannaro, what I'd give to beat that bastard senseless!"

Naruko looked away, but not before Sakura saw the anger in her eyes, "I don't need you to fight my battles for me Sakura. I've never needed anybody's help before and I don't need it now."

Sakura glared at her, "We're teammates now. We're supposed to help each other fight our battles. Being a team doesn't just mean we work together in missions, it means that we help each other out in other areas too. Now do you want to tell me what that was about?"

Naruko didn't respond. She did not want to tell Sakura about the Kyuubi, because she was enjoying having another friend too much and didn't feel like losing her just yet. On the other hand how would she react if she found out about it from somebody else? Would that make it worse?

Sakura sighed, "I know we haven't really known each other for that long but I hope you'll be able to trust me with whatever is bothering you. I want to help."

Naruko looked like she was about to cry, but she turned away and hastily wiped away the half-formed tears. Turning back to Sakura she smiled brightly and said, "Don't worry about it Sakura-chan, I'll tell you someday, dattebayo!"

Sakura looked at her a moment longer then nodded, "Well I think we should hurry or we'll be later than Kakashi-sensei."

Naruko shuddered at the thought and said, "Don't even joke about things like that."

They eventually made it to their training grounds and saw Sasuke waiting on a nearby bridge.

"Hey Bastard, where were you? Did you finally realize that I was so much better than you that you shouldn't even bother looking for me?" Naruko asked smugly.

"Not a chance I just had better things to do." Sasuke fired back.

Naruko's eye twitched. "More important things?! That's why you unleashed your fan-girls on me!" Naruko growled while stomping towards him angrily. At this point Kakashi arrived and looked like he was about to intervene when Sasuke took things out of his hands.

"Wow, a little touchy are we? Or is it just that time of the month already?" Sasuke taunted. Kakashi looked at Sasuke like he was the stupidest person he had seen in a long time.

At this Sakura started getting angry with Sasuke for the first time in her life. Naruko on the other hand just looked confused, "What the hell does the day of the month have to do with anything?" All three of them just stared at her. "What?" she asked defensively.

"Uh, Sakura-chan care to field this one?" Kakashi asked awkwardly. Sakura looked around desperately for someone to come to her rescue, and to her immense gratitude found someone. "Rin-obasan! We're over here."

Towards them walked a woman around Kakashi's age and had brown hair and purple markings on her cheeks. Kakashi began to sweat nervously, "CRAP! How could I have forgotten? Of course it was Rin who taught Sakura. Who else would have taught a girl who wasn't even a genin medical jutsu?"

"Kakashi…what are you teaching your students?" Rin asked dangerously.

At this Kakashi began to sweat even harder. "Nothing inappropriate I assure you Rin-chan. Sasuke-kun is still in need of an attitude adjustment that I haven't had the time to start yet but I'll get right on it while you answer Naruko-chan's question." Kakashi said hurriedly while grabbing Sasuke. He quickly performed a quick Shunshin leaving the girls alone. Rin took a deep breath and said, "Well Naruko-chan there comes a time in a girls' life when…" (I may be a writer but I am not willing to write down this conversation for anything!).

Meanwhile with Kakashi and Sasuke they landed in a clearing with Sasuke a little disoriented from the rapid movement. Sasuke recovered quickly and asked, "What the hell was that for?"

"Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun…" Kakashi trailed off pityingly, "You must learn the fine art of interacting with women. Especially women that can and are trained to kill you in your sleep. There are certain things you just do not say. What you said back there is one of them."

Sasuke scoffed and started to walk away, but Kakashi grabbed his arm to stop him. "Not so fast Sasuke-kun, Rin wants me to teach you some manners."

Sasuke glared at him and said derisively, "If I didn't know better I would say you sounded scared of that woman Kakashi."

"I am." Kakashi deadpanned. Sasuke's eyes widened at Kakashi's admission. "She was my teammate a long time ago and the one who put this eye in." he said emptily as he lifted up his hitai-ite to show a Sharingan eye. Sasuke gasped and then looked angrily at Kakashi clearly demanding an explanation. Kakashi sighed and explained the mission where he had lost his original eye and his best friend.

"So let me get this straight. She took the eye out of Obito's head without damaging it and transplanted it into you, again without damaging it, all the while with enemies surrounding you with only basic medical supplies when she was thirteen." Sasuke summarized.

Kakashi nodded and said, "She is possibly the most talented medical ninja Konoha has produced after Tsunade-sama, surpassing Tsunade-sama's apprentice Shizune."

"I guess she's got a bit of talent then." Sasuke admitted grudgingly.

Kakashi's eye widened in fear, "Don't ever let her hear you mock her skill! The last time I did that even as a joke she threatened to rearrange my body to make it female."

Sasuke actually looked a little scared by this, "Can she do that?" he asked his voice shaking.

Kakashi gripped Sasuke's shoulder, "I don't know but I do not want to find out. So Sasuke what have you learned from this discussion."

"Women are psychos and you shouldn't give them a reason to maul you." Sasuke responded firmly.

Kakashi sweat dropped, "Close enough." he said deciding not to correct him since the girls were coming into the clearing. Sakura and Rin were looking embarrassed but Naruko was looking furious. She stalked towards Sasuke and reared her leg back and before he could react punted him in the balls.

"You'll never to do that to me, dattebayo!" she screeched at him and stomped of to start pounding on a poor defenseless tree.

Kakashi looked pityingly at him and asked, "Are you alright?"

Sasuke was curled up in the fetal position, cross-eyed from the pain, and in an octave much higher than normal squeaked, "Fuck you! The pain. THE PAIN IT BURNS!"

Kakashi turned to the girls and asked, " So what was the deal with that? I know what he said wasn't polite but that was a bit over the top wasn't it?"

The girls shuffled nervously, but Rin answered, "Well while we were telling her about puberty she asked where babies came from and…well we answered her. Her ears started to bleed when she heard, and she demanded to know why a girl would let a guy do that to her. My guess is she took out her anger about the idea on the first guy she saw." Looking down at Sasuke she asked, "You probably want me to heal that don't you?" Sasuke nodded not even caring that he was hurting his pride since that was nothing next to the blinding pain that wracked his body right then. Rin picked him up and took him into the bushes to preserve a bit of his dignity.

When Rin returned with a glaring Sasuke, Kakashi asked "So Rin what brought you here today?"

"Oh yeah I almost forgot about that." Rin said and before Kakashi could react kicked him in the balls too. "That's what you get for using Sensei's perverted jutsu on a girl, BAKA!" she shouted at him.

Sasuke flinched in sympathetic pain, but could only really think "Better him than me. She looks like she kicks way harder than the dobe…"

Kakashi could only make an odd squeaking noise in reply, so Rin continued "Other than that I was coming here to tell you that I would be training Sakura in medical jutsu when she wasn't being trained by you. Make sure you condition them all properly."

All three genin had confused looks on their faces as Rin walked away, "What did she mean by conditioning?" they all thought uneasily. Kakashi who had been using a healing jutsu on himself sighed in relief. He may not be the best at medical jutsu but he knew enough to calm down the mind numbing agony down to an extremely painful throb.

"Now that that's out of the way how about we get started. I need to learn how good Naruko and Sakura are in taijutsu." Kakashi told them.

"What for Kakashi-sensei?" Naruko asked.

"Because in order to plan battle formations certain attributes are needed to make certain formations to work. If you have two speed specialists and one power specialist you would use a different strategy than one with two power specialists and one speed." Kakashi explained.

"Me first, me first!" Naruko said excitedly and took a sloppy taijutsu stance. The other two genin backed away and Naruko charged Kakashi and launched a kick at his stomach which Kakashi blocked easily. She dropped to the ground and pushed off in a hand spring with both her feet aimed for Kakashi's head which he dodged. As she went past she grabbed onto his shirt in an attempt to use her momentum to throw him but he broke her grip quickly. She landed back on the ground and jumped at him with her fist reared back to punch him in the head but he just grabbed her arm and threw her to the ground. This process went on for several more minutes before Kakashi was satisfied and called an end to the spar. Both Sasuke and Sakura were surprised to see that Naruko didn't even look tired after her long struggle against Kakashi.

"Naruko I have to say that was extremely sloppy, and I don't think you are particularly suited for taijutsu. I can train you in a style that emphasizes on kicks as that seems to suit you best. It will also come in handy for what I have planned for you to learn." Kakashi told her.

She looked upset when Kakashi had criticized her but when he told her that he was going to teach her something else instead she brightened up again, "Ooh, what is it?" she asked eagerly.

"I'll tell you in a bit if my hunch is correct." he told her with an eye smile. Naruko put on a pouting face and Kakashi said, "Sakura you're up next."

Sakura went into her stance a little nervously. It was a lot more solid than Naruko's but still not good enough for Kakashi. Sakura started off with a jab to Kakashi's head which he dodged with ease. She followed up with a kick to his knee which he deflected.

"Come on Sakura you're not serious enough. Fight like you mean it!" Kakashi goaded.

Sakura's eye twitched and Inner Sakura was ranting, "Serious?! We'll show him serious when we crack open his skull, Shannaro!" and she threw a punch just a little bit harder than normal. Kakashi dodged but the tree behind him wasn't so lucky. They heard a loud cracking and saw that the place where Sakura punched was indented a good three inches. This elicited different reactions from the rest of the team. Sakura didn't seem to notice what she had done nor was she affected by hitting the tree that hard. Sasuke just stood there with his mouth gaping. Naruko exclaimed, "That was sooo bad-ass Sakura-chan, dattebayo!"

Kakashi however felt the slight surge of chakra in the young kunoichi and lifted his hitai-ite and saw Sakura channel a little bit of her chakra into each of her attacks and releasing it in a burst as she hit an object. Kakashi's eyes widened in shock she was doing a bastardized form of Tsunade's super strength. Noticing this Kakashi quickly called for the spar to stop.

"Well that was, for a lack of a better term, scary." Kakashi said with a sweat drop.

"What are you taking about Sensei?" Sakura asked oblivious to her actions.

"Uh, Sakura look around." Kakashi told her in response.

Sakura did as she was told and eeped at the destruction she had wrought. Bowing repeatedly in apology she said, "I'm so sorry Kakashi-sensei, I didn't mean to do that."

Kakashi looked at her dumbfounded, "Why are you under the impression that I'm upset. The only know person with the chakra control to do that is Tsunade-sama, and you did it unconsciously. I am amazed to say the least."

Sakura blushed in response to the praise, but Sasuke was looking jealous. "Sasuke don't start thinking like that." Kakashi said sharply, "You each have your talents and your weaknesses. Naruko's strength is her enormous chakra reserves, but has little control. Sakura's weakness is the opposite. You actually have the least weaknesses out of the three of you with better than average reserves and control, so don't get jealous over anything."

Sasuke looked mollified by that explanation so Kakashi continued on, "Now that I know your taijutsu strengths I want you all to give me an in depth rundown of your abilities. Sasuke you first."

Sasuke looked a little irritated at being commanded but answered anyway, "I'm skilled in my clan's style of taijutsu, but since I haven't had an actual instructor I'm not as good as I could be. My jutsus include Goukakyuu no Jutsu, Housenka no Jutsu, Ryuuka no Jutsu, and Kage Shuriken no Jutsu. I haven't had any training with genjutsu."

Kakashi nodded then pointed at Sakura saying, "Your turn."

Sakura took a deep breath then replied, "Rin-obasan has been teaching me medical jutsu for three years now so I can heal minor to moderate injuries with the Shousen no Jutsu. I know genjutsu like the Kokohi no Jutsu, Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu, and the Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu. That's pretty much it."

"Naruko you're up next and don't forget to explain Fuuinjutsu to them." Kakashi told Naruko.

"Hai, hai. My taijutsu is crap like Kakashi-sensei pointed out. My only ninjutsu are the Oiroke no Jutsu and Kage Bunshin. My genjutsu skills are shitty. My best skills though come from Fuuinjutsu: The Art of Sealing. When most people when they think of fuuinjutsu they only think of exploding tags and storage scrolls but it can do so much more. With it you can make nearly impenetrable barriers, hold and restrict opponents way stronger than yourself, seal even things like fire. Fuuinjutsu is only really limited by your imagination and your attention to detail."

Sakura raised her hand instinctively like in the academy and asked, "What do you mean by attention to detail?"

"Well to use fuuinjutsu you have to describe what you want your chakra to do. The more advanced and strong the seal the more you have to describe. Here's an example." Naruko answered. She pulled two scrolls out of a pouch and laid them on the ground. She opened one to reveal that it had the kanji for storage written repeatedly with an even amount of space in between. She placed her hand on one kanji and put some chakra into it and said "Kai" and out popped a ready cup of ramen which Naruko devoured in fifteen seconds. This left them all gaping in mild horror.

"Also if you use the right kind of ink no one else will be able to access your seal. The way to do this is to mix your blood with the ink. This must be done in a fifty-fifty split between the two or at least more of the blood but it would be stupid to do that if you didn't have to." Naruko added.

Sakura looked at her in confusion, "But yesterday you did your entire seal in your own blood. Wasn't that dangerous?" she asked.

"And stupid. Don't forget stupid." Naruko grumbled and they laughed at her…well Sasuke smirked anyways. "Bastard I'll need your help for the next one." she said as she unraveled the other scroll. "Use your Goukakyuu no Jutsu on me." This was greeted by a pair of protests from Sakura and Kakashi. Sasuke only looked at the confidence on her face and nodded and flashed through the signs and shouted "Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" and the fireball shot at Naruko. Naruko didn't panic she simply formed the tiger seal then slapped both her palms on the ground and shouted "Fuuka Houin!" and tendrils of chakra grabbed the fireball and pulled it into the paper forming the kanji for fire in the circle that was in the center of the scroll.

Sakura and Sasuke could only gape at the scroll. Kakashi had an impressed look in his eye. Naruko simply smiled smugly and said, "This is just one of the things I can do with fuuinjutsu. Kakashi-sensei I bet you've heard of the Chikatsu Saisei right?" she asked when Kakashi nodded Naruko continued, "Yeah I know the theory behind that and I could probably do it but somehow I don't think that any of the medic staff will be willing to let me test it out."

Kakashi spluttered at a loss for words, "But the Chikatsu Saisei no Jutsu is an extremely complicated combination of fuuinjutsu and medical jutsu. To be able to do that at her age…that's amazing."

"The best part about fuuinjutsu is that if you can write down the seal you don't have to worry about chakra control because I write my own control into it. I have almost no limitations with fuuinjutsu. With it I can surpass the past Hokages." she said with a smile.

"Dobe teach me fuuinjutsu." Sasuke commanded.

Naruko tilted her head as she looked at him appraisingly then shook her head, "Sorry Sasuke you don't have the spark."

Sasuke growled at her, "And what do you mean by that?"

Naruko glared at his tone and said "With fuuinjutsu there is only so much that one can teach, before you have to take over and design your own seals. You lack the creativity to do that. Sure I'd be able to teach you the seals that I know and made, but that would be giving you my power, and would you really be satisfied using my power?"

Sasuke grunted and turned away unable to find a suitable come back. Kakashi took the opportunity in this lack of arguing to pull out six pieces of paper that he handed to each of the genin.

"What is this for Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked curiously.

"That Sakura-chan is a special paper that will show your chakra affinity when you channel chakra into it. When you channel the paper in your dominant hand it will show your dominant chakra type and when you channel chakra into your other hand it shows your secondary type." Kakashi answered her.

They all looked down at the papers in their hands they shrugged collectively and did as he told and the paper in Naruko's right hand split in half while the one in her left got wet. The one in Sakura's right hand turned to dust and the other was wet as well. Sasuke's right one crumpled up and his other burned up.

"My, my quite a diverse bunch aren't we? Naruko's got wind and water, Sakura's got earth and water, and Sasuke's got lightning and fire. Only one intersecting element and it's the girls' secondary."

Naruko was looking envyingly at Sasuke, "No fair I wanted lightning it destroys things…" she said with a pout.

"Don't be feeling left out Naruko-chan. Don't you know that wind is considered the combat element?" Kakashi told her.

"Really?" Naruko asked with her eyes shining.

"Yep, it will also make things easier when I get you a sword." Kakashi said with an eye smile.

All three genin stared at him stunned before they all burst out, "Cool! I get a sword!", "Kakashi-sensei I don't think that will end well…", "Why does the dobe get a sword and I don't?"

Kakashi who had somehow understood all of them answered "In order: Yes. You worry too much. And because her body is made for kenjutsu."

"What do you mean Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked as always.

"Well Sakura let me put it this way: Each person has a body made to express a certain trait. Yours is power. This means you will almost always hit harder than the other two. Sasuke's is balance, meaning he is neither specifically suited for either but does well in both. Naruko on the other hand is speed meaning that she will almost always be faster than the two of you." Kakashi responded.

Sasuke looked irritated, "Then wouldn't a person like me who has more balance be better suited for kenjutsu?"

Kakashi shook his head, "Often it is the first strike that determines the winner in kenjutsu. If you are both aiming for a vital spot and she is a bit faster she will win and you would die. Speed is without a doubt the most important quality in kenjutsu but that does not mean you can slack on strength. If you were to meet a person with the same speed as you it becomes a contest of strength. This means that Naruko will have to start bulking up." he said while pulling arm and leg weights out of nowhere.

Naruko groaned while Sakura was looking relieved. "Don't worry you two I have some for you as well." Kakashi said with an eye smile while pulling out more weights for Sasuke and Sakura. Sakura looked anxious while Sasuke's eye was twitching.

"I've decided to start you off light with five extra pounds on each limb." Kakashi told them.

Naruko scoffed, "Big deal an extra five pounds what'll that do?"

Kakashi looked at her slightly amused, "Oh you'd be surprised Naruko-chan. Now I want you to do one hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups and then ten laps around Konoha. Then I want you to repeat this process until I say stop."

The genin all paled in fear. "Are you insane!?" Naruko asked incredulously.

Kakashi brought his hand to his chin thoughtfully, "Hmm, I don't know personally, but several professionals have indicated I am."

All three of them had their eyes twitching, "Please tell me he's joking!" they all thought desperately.

They did the exercises until the sun went down, each of them exhausted beyond words.

Kakashi who had been reading his book the entire time said, "Good job you three, you can stop for the day. Remember be here tomorrow bright and early. Oh, don't forget to eat a good breakfast because this is only the tip of the iceberg. Welcome to Hell, Team Seven." and he poofed away.

They all laid there breathing heavily before Naruko stood up shakily and dredged up the chakra for two Kage Bunshins. They poofed into existence and helped Sasuke and Sakura to their feet. They both walked away without saying anything, silently accepting the clone's assistance to their houses.

Naruko made her way back to her apartment in a daze. She had never been this tired in her life. It also occurred to her that if she was this tired imagine how bad Sasuke and Sakura felt. Shuddering she made it into her apartment collapsing onto the bed without bothering to undress.

"So tired. Need sleep." she thought hazily. She then felt anger an anger at Sasuke for not even bothering to thank her clone, like Sakura did, for helping his tired ass back all the way to his house. Wait what?! How did she know that? Ah well there would be time to think about that tomorrow. There's always tomorrow, for now the sweet oblivion of sleep.


Well there's Chapter 3. Man that took too long. I never really thought about their training so I didn't have a plan for it. It took me forever to come up with one. Also I had to think up an interesting way to get Naruko out of the 'Kill Me' suit.

Hehe fan-girl politics. Amusing.

Yeah Sakura's aunt is Rin. I thought Sakura needed to be stronger so I gave her one of the best medic-nins for a relative. Seriously though she must be pretty freaking good to the eye transplant.
