Chapter 6
To say a certain silver haired ninja was in a fowl mood several hours after sun rise would be an understatement .Surprised was the first emotion Kakashi felt before light anger when for once in his life instead of everyone waiting on him he was waiting on his own team.
"Ungrateful brats" The man grumbled after the second visit to one of his student's homes finding neither Sasuke or Sakura had returned home he headed in the direction of the last one on his list to kill only finding amusement when he perched on the outside window looking in. The sight that greeted him was of the three of them snuggled tightly on one bed.
If they were not so young it would have bothered him seeing his student entwined with one another Naruto in the middle of them. A grin of revenge sauntered across his face.
Moving across the floor silently he approached the bed reaching out he gripped the mattress between his fingers and jerked sending the three student's sliding across the room piled on top of one another.
" What the!" Naruto get off me you idiot." Sakura screamed.
" I can't Sasuke on me."Naruto complained breathlessly from the elbow he took in his side before Sasuke pulled up growling."What the hell happened."
Rolling off Sakura Naruto scratched his head as he replied."Guess we fell asleep."
" You know it isn't often I allow anyone just not to show,but I am certainly amused so I won't punish you.. To much. he added with a gleam that frighten and worried the three children.
Satisfied he got his revenge he stated. You three are four hours late." In truth he had only waited an hour as he didn't show up till then,but he certainly enjoyed the flustered looks of his new student before the loud mouth blond snorted."Ha! Your probably just now realizing were late you pervert."
" Attitude." Kakashi reprimand wagging his finger at Naruto he flicked his head band.
" Hey."Naruto scoffed in offense crossing his arms he growled."Lay off the head gear."
"Be thankful that's all I did."Kakashi warned in amusement as he asked."So mind telling me what you three were up to." adding evilly."You do know your a bit to young for the kind of things right."
" Gross shut up."Naruto covered his ear his face burning brightly Sakura eyes widen her face flushing as Sasuke turned his head away not wanting everyone to see his own red face the copy ninja laughing with amusement spoke "Just giving you hard time. Now since you wasted my time I'm going to get my delightful little revenge."
The looks of horror could not have made Kakashi day anymore better as he waved his student's onward before stopping Naruto he pulled him back with a smile that did not bold well for the boy saying" Now you, I have something really special for since you have been laid up for a month. Your out of shape so I found someone who can get you whipped up in no time."
Naruto eyes widen as he exclaimed. 'Oh no! Please no! Please tell me it isn't who I think it is?"
" My youthful rival we meet again."A voice shouted threw the open window as a very large built man wear a green spandex suit and vest entered.
Naruto mouth dropped Sasuke and Sakura had sweat bead on there foreheads the man stood in a stance with his thumb up and he smiled brightly.
" I'll change I swear what ever you want. I beg you! " Naruto pleaded.
The bright shine of youth .How sweet and youthful now show me my faithful pupil you have so kindly asked me to help and we shall start at this moment and I swear he will be as youthful in spring as a Sakura flower or I shall do five hundred laps around the leaf village on my hands."
"Did you say something Gai." Kakashi spoke his usually orange book in his hands as Gai Matio gasped in annoyance.
Kakashi thinking."Score one for me."
Pulling his student up from his knees Kakashi shoved the boy forward saying." He's all yours do bring him back in one piece."
" I hate you I really hate you." Naruto mouthed to the copy ninja as he was jerked out the window and threw the air the man just smiled in amusement before putting his book away he turned to the other two and said."Well now I believe it is your turn follow me and be sure not to fall behind." The man chucked evilly.
To say Naruto was having a bad day was the understatement of the century. He was bruised bloody and battered and complete exhausted after spending an entire day of being tortured in his opinion by the sadist Sensei Gai . Truthfully the man was a great Sensei,but way to enthusiastic and in truth a hard drill Sergeant . It was why currently Naruto had just completed his last lap around Konoha chained to his ankle was a builder larger then his self.
Coming upon his Sensei and team mates Naruto looked up at the man in the tree and growled."Dead so dead I hate you." Before passing out Kakashi jumping down to stop the boulder from crushing the boy.
Sakura and Sasuke having there own day of torture moved over as Sakura questioned."Kakashi Sensei is Naruto alright."
" The brat's fine thought I will admit even I didn't expect Gia to push him this hard. He's complete exhausted."
" What the! ..Is he chained to that boulder."Sasuke exclaimed.
" It would seem." Kakashi answered saying." Well guess training is over for the day. It's getting late so we will call it a day. Do remember to show up on time tomorrow."He warned with amusement the two quickly nodded there head they certainly did not want to go through the hell they had today and even they realized Naruto probably had it even a bit harder.
"Your going to tell Naruto right? I mean what time we are meeting." Sakura questioned.
" Well for the next two weeks Naruto won't be joining us. He has a lot to make up for in strength due to his down time so you won't need to worry about him."Kakashi replied releasing the chain from the boys ankle he tossed the boy over his shoulder saying."Better hurry home and do get a good night sleep."
left alone Sakura said." Sasuke I can't believe I am saying this,but I think I am worried about Naruto."
" The Dobe will be fine" Sasuke grunted though secretly even he was concerned if the sight of his friend. Yes he had accepted Naruto as his friend was any indication the next two weeks were not going to be pleasant.
Training continued and Naruto was not beyond to admit he was feeling stronger then he had ever been even if he felt as if the last two weeks of his life had been pure torture.
By the second day Naruto had been given Spandex green ones and convinced to wear them. The suit itch and was bothersome,but even he admitted they moved effortlessly in training,but green annoyed him so he ended up adding a orange vest and orange leg warmers to cover the weights he wore his hands were bandage riddle in blisters from numerous walks on his hands around the village and from other exercises he was instructed to use for strength training.
Stronger by far then before and faster Naruto had only gained just a bit more control over his chakra. The only explanation he got from the fox as to why his chakra was out of more control then the first time was he merge two souls and chakra's with two others and now he had to deal with it.
"Stupid fox." The boy thought making his way through the forest he had revenge on his mind.
" Alright you and I one on one.'"Naruto declared jumping into the clearing of the training field catching the attention of his Sensei and his teammates.
" Dobe what are you doing." Sasuke questioned shaking his head in disbelief at the outfit the boy was wearing.
Sakura frowned saying."Um... Naruto you've changed. " Referring to his clothes.
" Present from Gai Sensei."Naruto stated once again challenging his Sensei." I owe you Kakashi Sensei now it's time to get my revenge."
Sweat dropping Kakashi started to question his judgment on allowing Gai to take on his student for training. The boy at the moment not only looked like a mini Gai he was posing as one he knew he would be having nightmares as he crossed his arms and sigh." Brat do you really think it's wise to challenge me."
" Probably not." Naruto admitted causing Sakura and Sasuke to glare at the friend as if he was stupid before saying."But one hit that's all I need and I will be satisfied."
" One hit huh." Kakashi stated in amusement his eyes twinkling he asked."You really believe you can get one hit do you?"
" You better believe it.' Naruto grinned confident.
" Well then why should I deny you. Thought I shall not be blamed for what happens."The man stated with boredom.
" Dobe your really asking for it." Sasuke stated shaking his head and rolling his eyes.
"Naruto have you lost your mind your a genin."
" Do you know the hell I have been threw. Granted Gai Sensei is a great teacher,but I'm mentally scared."Naruto added his face souring he shook his head trying his best to forget the touch hug filled moment he was caught between by Gai and Lee."
Kakashi shivered knowing that look to well perhaps he had been a bit to harsh on the boy mental scarring wasn't ever pleasant,but if it made the brat feel better to get ruffed up so be it who was he deny him.
" Well then are you ready."Kakashi stated.
" Been ready." Naruto declared adding with a grin." You wait Kakashi Sensei I'll get my one hit then being drowned every morning at three for training and all the other torture I have endure will be all worth it."
" If it makes you feel better." Kakashi shrugged not caring he asked." So any rules."
" Just one." Naruto confessed as he scratched his head and affirm "My chakra control still stinks so perhaps not to many Jutsu."
" No Jutsu alright hand to hand combat"
"Alright here I come." Naruto shouted striking out to attack Kakashi the silver hair Jounin thinking." Perhaps the boy didn't learn anything. Frontal assaults never work,," But Kakashi soon realized his mistake in underestimating the brat as he sensed another chakra coming at him from behind using a replacement Jutsu he flipped back impressed realized his trick he said." I am beginning to like you. I will admit I under estimated you,but do you really believe you'll get that one hit?"
" Believe it." Naruto declared with a grin the two of them begun to go all out again. Of course Naruto found his self being beaten to a blood pulp toyed with and all around annoyed, but he kept his mind on the prize the one hit it was all he needed as he just kept coming. Kakashi thinking."He certainly has stamina I'll give him that and he looks to have improved,but I will sadly have to disappoint him."
Kakashi was soon to be surprised as several clone Naruto's appeared and attack the man once again not one of them getting a hit Naruto was shoved back breathing hard and littered with scratches Sasuke called out." Give up Dobe your wasting your time."
" Not happening I never quite I'll get my one hit." he vowed reaching down he dropped the weights around his ankles and then his arms Sakura eyes widen as Sasuke watched curious Kakashi stating."
" I must admit I am impressed so Gai has you training with weights."
" That was the easy part everything else was hell." He pronounced adding." Alright time to pay up." Naruto shouted enacting his shadow clone Jutsu he grin widen ready to lead his Sensei into his trap.
" Come into my web the spider said to the fly." He silently thought as the clones attacked.
If there was one thing Kakashi was certainly surprised at the amount of shadow clones the brat seemed to be able to control using a replacement jutsu he jumped back into the tree to find a shock of his life he was greeted with a kick in the chest as he was sent flying through the air in to a tree.
" He hit me." Was Kakashi thought as he recovered from the blow Naruto nearly fell from the tree thinking " I hit him."
Sakura and Sasuke both were stunned staring at there Sensei Naruto clones disappearing the boy begun to shout jumping from the tree he danced in victory."
" I got him I got him."Doing acrobatic flips through the air before moving over to offer a hand to his Sensei he grinned with triumph saying." I forgive you now."
Kakashi couldn't help it he had never been more shock and even more amused as he laughed accepting the brats hands he took to his feet and ruffled the boys hair saying. " I am certainly impressed I underestimated you and I fell right into that one."
"Naruto I can't believe it how did you get so fast I didn't even see you." Sakura questioned her and Sasuke moving over.
"Do you have any idea how many times I had to run around the leaf village." He exclaimed. Unwrapping his hands to show them his blisters he added." Not just using my feet ,but my hands to and the worst the fur ball thinks it funny and won't let me use his healing power I'm so sore I feel as if someone crushed me with a thousand boulders."
"Naruto." Kakashi quickly stated glaring at the brat he silently warned him to be quite Naruto snorting stated."They know about the fox I already told them."
"Naruto that is classified." Kakashi chasten Naruto replying."It's my body my life I'll tell who I want, besides we are a team they were bound to find out sooner or later I figured they had a right to know."
"Perhaps,but that information can't be allowed to get around."
" We know Kakashi Sensei Sasuke and I haven't said a word and we won't were glad Naruto told us and we want to help him too."Sakura admitted.
"I wasn't aware they have gotten so close."Kakashi silently admitted finding pride in his student's.
Alright he said as long as you remember,but brat next time you want to tell someone check with me first alright."
"Okay ."Naruto agreed.
" It's late training over for the day now that your team mate is back we can start our first mission tomorrow."
" Ah not D-Mission please not another D mission." Naruto groaned Sakura and Sasuke saying."You've already done missions."
" Twenty eight D missions and one C talk about a snore fest and the company ugh I've weeded yards babysat spoiled brats, cooked cleaned, chased down an evil cat six times and painted a fence."
" You got to go on a C mission, but Genin never get to go on a C mission." Sakura stated in shock Sasuke glared in jealousy as Naruto stated.' Don't look at me like that Theme I said it was a snore feast. Sensei Gia and his team had to escort this spoiled brat to the rain country I got haggled into it Sensei Gia said I was still under his training. Nothing happened except I nearly strangled the bratty boy who whined and cried the whole way there no big deal." he shrugged.
Hearing that Sasuke was less inclined to be jealous dealing with bratty kids was not something he wanted to do as he snorted."Stupid Dobe."
"Well be that as it may we still have missions to complete so meet me here tomorrow morning." With a wave Kakashi disappeared
Naruto shook his head saying his good byes he retrieved his weights and headed off toward his own home he was exhausted and a shower and sleep sounded good.
