Halley was the first one to get up that morning. She looked at the clock and saw that it was five in the morning.

"One hour till we have to train with Sasuke." She thought glumly.

She looked at Tauqir's bed and saw him fast asleep. She then got up and walked over to him stood there for a second, and then proceeded to poke him, HARD.

"OW! WHAT THE FUCK?!" he yelled bolting upright.

"Now, were even." She said grinning.

"What time is it?" Tauqir mumbled sleepily rubbing his eyes.

"About five o clock, we're supposed to meet Sasuke at the lake at six. So we've got time."

"All right."

Tauqir slowly got up. It was then that Halley noticed a slight drooping of his eyelids, and shadows under his eyes.

"Did you sleep ok?" she asked.

"Yeah why?"

"No reason."

Tauqir went into the bathroom and washed up and changed. When he came back out he looked noticeably more refreshed. After Halley came out Tauqir decided to go to the lake early. They both walked out of their room and then out of the building. It was five thirty so it was still kind of dark. The only people out were the shop owners preparing for their businesses. They walked through the town towards the forest. They passed the ramen stand and found Naruto already sitting there eating a bowl.

"Good morning Naruto." Halley said.

"Hey guys what's up?"

"Nothing, were just going down to the lake." Tauqir said.

"All right! See you guys later!" Naruto said as he practically inhaled the last of his ramen.

Halley and Tauqir walked through the woods and finally saw the lake ahead. There was a light mist covering it and it had a wooden bridge going across it. They realized that this was where Sasuke had first learned the Grand Fireball Jutsu from his father. Halley sat leaning against a tree looking out at the lake. Meanwhile, Tauqir began practicing calling forth his chakra. HE seemed to have improved a lot since yesterday and Halley found this a little strange, but she didn't worry about too much. Eventually they heard someone walking through the woods toward them. Halley and Tauqir both looked to find that it was Sasuke looking serious, as usual.

"All right, let's begin." Sasuke said. "Sakura's already taught you how to call up your chakra right? Well now its time for you to learn how to use it."

He stood in front of them and then made a hand sign. Immediately there was a gust at his feet. Sasuke then focused and soon the gust receded to a slight breeze. There was a burst of "wind" and then it returned to a slight breeze again. He walked up to a tree and began to literally "walk-up" the tree. One he got to the third branch he sat down and looked down at them.

"That's how you control your chakra." Sasuke said. "You have to call it out first, and then focus it on a certain part of your body. Doing this can enhance many of you abilities, but it's up to the shinobi to figure out how to use it."

Halley and Tauqir proceeded to practice this and eventually both of them could do it pretty well. Then they experimented what they could do. They found that they could run faster if they focused it on their feet, and jump higher also. Then, they tried climbing up the tree and found it quite easy.

"All right! Now lets see how well you can use it." Sasuke said as he jumped down. "I want you two to try to dodge the fireballs I send your way. Use your chakra to run faster and try to anticipate my moves."

They tried this on land first and found it pretty easy. Neither of them could do the fancy flips everyone else could do, or run nearly as fast, but they managed to dodge every one of Sasuke's attacks. Next, they moved on to the lake. Tauqir and Halley took a while to get their balance but eventually stood upright quite comfortably on the water. Sasuke began to shoot fireballs one by one with a small pause between each. But slowly he began to speed up and Halley and Tauqir got into a steady rhythm. But they were beginning to tire out. Sasuke kept on speeding up and eventually it became too much for Halley. She lost her focus, and her left foot sunk into the lake. Tauqir yelled "Stop" but Sasuke continued to unleash a flurry of attacks at Halley. She was trying to get up again and managed to stay on the surface. But Halley began to panic and couldn't regain her balance, and she couldn't stop the chakra flow either. Tauqir ran toward her as fast as he could, and then added a huge burst of chakra to his feet. He rocketed forward and managed to grab Halley just in time. He pulled her out of the way just as the water was hit with about six fireballs. Halley got up and regained her balance, but still a little bit shaky. Tauqir walked her to the edge of the lake and she sat down. Next, Tauqir turned towards Sasuke, and began yelling at him.

"WHAT THE HELL?! YOU COULD'VE KILLED HER!" Tauqir began.

"So? It was her fault for not focusing." Sasuke stated coolly.

"WE'RE NEW AT THIS! WE CAN'T MASTER EVERYTHING IN JUST ONE DAY!!"

"Well, that's not my problem."

Tauqir lost it right there. He launched a punch at Sasuke who easily dodged it. Then he tried to kick him, but missed. Sasuke then grabbed his leg and turned it so that Tauqir fell on his stomach. Sasuke locked both of Tauqir's arms behind his back and just held him there.

"You've got a lot to learn." Sasuke said.

But Tauqir had taken some karate back in his world. He managed to get up to his knees, and felt his arms threatening to pop. He then used his legs to trip Sasuke, got up, and launched another punch at him. This one connected with Sasuke's chest and knocked the air out of him and sent him to his knees.

"So do you." Tauqir snarled.

But then Sasuke bolted up and gave Tauqir an uppercut into his stomach. Tauqir was lifted off the ground by a couple inches, and tossed back. He was laying on the ground a few feet away coughing and spitting out blood.

Halley ran up to him and glared at Sasuke.

"Oh my god! Are you ok?" she asked with a hint of concern in her voice.

"Yeah I'm fine." Tauqir grunted as he slowly got up.

"Wow, you guys are pathetic." Sasuke said as he walked away.

Tauqir and Halley walked back to their room in silence. By the time they got there, it was nine o clock. Tauqir laid down on his bed while Halley offered to go get breakfast. Tauqir said he didn't want any so Halley left. After he heard the door close, Tauqir closed his eyes. He sat there thinking about what just happened. Suddenly, anger rose up in him. His eyes shot open and he got up from his bed, walked to the door, and left. He left the building and went to the training grounds. He was gonna prepare for his training with Lee that evening. But he was surprised to find Tenten, Neji, Lee, and Guy Sensei there. Lee saw him and waved:

"HELLO! HAVE YOU COME TO TRAIN WITH THE FULL POER OF YOUR YOUTH!" he called.

"Umm yeah."

"I must apologize, My team and I must go do three laps around the village." Guy Sensei cut in.

"It's ok." Tauqir said.

He actually wanted to be alone so he was relieved. As Guy walked away with his team Tauqir sat down cross legged on the ground. His old sensei had taught him that while he was blinded by anger; his training wouldn't benefit him at all. So he was taught to meditate and turn that anger into energy, and motivation. Tauqir took a deep breath and began to think about everything that had happened at the lake. He remembered how Sasuke had almost killed Halley, and then acted as if nothing had happened. And then he remembered how Sasuke had knocked him down. Tauqir then tried to think about what could improve to make sure the same thing doesn't happen. Eventually he calmed down and began to train.
